It is time we change our thinking on Alzheimer's disease. Too often, Alzheimer's and other dementias are treated as an aging issue, ignoring the public health consequences of a disease that someone in the U.S. develops every 66 seconds.
With two-thirds of its annual costs being borne by Medicare and Medicaid, it is an issue that demands more attention from our government.
As someone who has lost a loved one to Alzheimer's, and as one of the 110,000 living with Alzheimer's in Washington, I understand the physical and emotional costs of the disease.
Congress has a chance to take decisive action passing the Building Our Largest Dementia Infrastructure for Alzheimer's Act (S. 2076/H.R. 4256), endorsed by the Alzheimer's Association. This new bill would create an Alzheimer's public health infrastructure across the country to implement effective Alzheimer's interventions like increasing early detection and diagnosis, reducing risk and preventing avoidable hospitalizations.
Alzheimer's is the most expensive disease in the U.S. The nation currently spends $259 billion a year on Alzheimer's, which is why we need this new approach. If we are going to end this disease, then we must start treating it like the public health threat it is.
Join me in asking Rep. Dan Newhouse and Sen.s Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray to fight for the 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer's by cosponsoring the BOLD Infrastructure for Alzheimer's Act.

SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — A town workshop Tuesday night examined possible regulations to curb what Town Councilor Jack Kareckas called "signage creep" in the downtown area.
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — A town workshop Tuesday night examined possible regulations to curb what Town Councilor Jack Kareckas called "signage creep" in the downtown area.
The workshop featured the results of a two-month study by the Planning Board regarding business directional signs within the central business district.
"We discovered that a number of (business directional) signs are for businesses that don't exist anymore," Planning Board member Bill Straub said.
He explained these kinds of signs direct motorists to businesses within Maine communities. Typically, the signs are approved by local governments then purchased by business owners from the state Department of Transportation.
DOT posts the signs and monitors their usage, Straub said. Once they become weathered, the state takes them down. However, exact placement and signage regulations are determined by individual municipalities.
Straub noted that, upon examining the town's zoning ordinances, "we discovered that signs shouldn't be allowed in town at all, although we couldn't find a reason for this regulation."
Kareckas noted that many signs — including the business directional signs — were "grandfathered in" before South Berwick passed an ordinance banning them from the downtown area.
"So now, we have to determine which is a rogue sign and which signs went up before the prohibition," he said.
Kareckas was highly critical of what he viewed as an over abundance of signage downtown. "It has been creeping forward again and again," he said. "We have to get the creep out."
Jay Feldman, senior planner with the Southern Maine Regional Planning Commission, said "the previous administration signed off on a number of signs even though the code prohibited it."
But removal of signs could be problematic, Straub said.
"If a mistake was made by somebody in town approving a sign, it isn't reasonable to order that the sign be taken down — the business owner paid for it," he said.
Feldman cautioned that the current ordinance under consideration "only deals with business directional signs, not signs in general."
Subsequently, many workshop participants agreed with Feldman's suggestion to abide by state recommendations that business directional signs "be posted away from businesses and only on state routes or where these routes intersect."
He also recommended that signs be limited to within 300 feet of route intersections.
A proposal to limit business directional signs to state routes 236, 101, 91 and 4, before motorists enter the downtown area, was favorably received by workshop members.
"We should incorporate state law and only allow these signs on state roads," Straub said.
"We would be better served if we had a designated sign area," Town Councilor Jean Demetracopoulos said. "It would help eliminate signage clutter downtown."
Demetracopoulos further suggested that hearings be held by both the Planning Board and Town Council to assess community reaction to expanded signage regulations in the downtown area.
"Perhaps we can also meet with the business people downtown and ask them, 'Why all the signs?'" she said. "Perhaps they can police themselves on this issue."

Even diehard fans can admit that season 8 wasn't The Office at its finest. Regardless, the show still knows how to sling a punchline — especially if it's delivered during the pre-credits cold open or by Ellie Kemper's Erin Hannon. Those who stopped watching after Michael Scott made his exit missed out on a lot of great gags — which is a shame, especially if they plan to tune in again for the show's last season.
So, before watching the sitcom's final premiere tonight, catch up by reading this list of season 8's funniest moments. Sure, none of them are quite up there with Threat Level Midnight's first appearance, but chances are they'll still leave you satisfied and smiling. (That's what she… well, you know.)
10. Dwight Schrute, Master Tactician
His list of things in the conference room that could be used as weapons, from episode 23: "Chair. Lamp. Plant. Table leg. Jim's leg."
9. Josh Groban as Walter Bernard Jr.
The singer played Andy's perfect younger brother with aplomb. (Fun fact: Andy was originally named Walter Jr. But when the younger Bernard was born, their parents decided Number Two would be a better Walter Jr. and renamed their first son Andrew. Ouch.) He's got the voice of an angel, plus crack comic timing. Can someone give Groban his own show already?
8. Murder at the Alcohol Club
Episode 15 began with an energetic Jim convincing Dwight that he's been framed for murder. Maybe the funniest thing here was that this was far from Jim's most elaborate prank.
NEXT: The list continues with a 'stache and a girl group

Things that made my day this week:
Listening to Portishead's classic essential mix as great music to work by
I got to hear a few DJ sets by them in 1998 / 1999 whilst living in east London, well worth going along.
… and a bit of Richie Hawtin to liven things up
Boeing are coming up with some interesting concepts around lighting and projections on plane interiors. They might be on to something, I didn't realise how popular home planetariums are in Japan. This could be good for short and medium haul flights.
Saatchi & Saatchi and Toyota Know What You Like…on Facebook | AgencySpy – which features a lubricous amounts of spots filled that are then targeted at Facebook users based on aspects of their profile
New 'Suicide Squad' posters released before new trailer | BGR – it looks like an amazing film, but I love the stencil art posters and distressed background

Why has the Serious Fraud Office been so non-committal about looking into Hewlett-Packard's claims of accounting malpractice at Autonomy?
Earlier this month, reports emerged that the SFO had decided not to pursue HP's allegations that the former management of Autonomy misrepresented the tech company's finances ahead of its $11.1bn (£7bn) acquisition by the US business.
Now Attorney-General Dominic Grieve has confirmed that Autonomy is on the SFO's roster of software suppliers, having signed a five-year contract with Autonomy Systems Ltd on June 1 2009 and then extended that contract by two years in June 2011.
Could the SFO's reluctance to rake through Autonomy's affairs have anything to do with its long-standing relationship with the Cambridge-based supplier? Surely not.
However, MP Emily Thornberry had less luck getting a straight answer out of Dominic Grieve on how much the judicial review into the failed Tchenguiz investigation cost the SFO. Apparently, such a cost breakdown is not possible because of "the flexible way in which the SFO's permanent staff work across cases". A blow to the damages-seeking property tycoons Robert and Vincent Tchenguiz, who were rather keen to find out.
Special City date for Alex
Ding a ling! The London Stock Exchange was opened this morning by a VVIP – The Daily Telegraph's very own chronicler of City life, Alex. Well, actually actor Robert Bathurst playing the much-loved cartoon figure with a prominent nose, who kicked off trade on the FTSE to promote the Alex City Quiz on February 26.
When Diary caught up with Alex before his big day, he told me: "I am a bit worried about being away from my desk in the run-up to bonus time, but I am hoping my boss will think I am at a breakfast meeting with a headhunter." Your secret's safe(ish) here.
Wrong time to be coy, Avril
Why is Avril Palmer-Baunack, the new executive chairman of Stobart Group, so keen to hide her light under a bushel?
Diary understands Ms Palmer-Baunack will not give any interviews on her FTSE 250 role in the "medium to short-term" because she is "not interested in personal publicity". Given that any interviews would focus on the listed logistics business, rather than Ms Palmer-Baunack's hobbies and interests, such shyness strikes Diary as rather odd.
Wouldn't this be a good opportunity to tackle those reports of shareholder unrest prompting the ousting of previous chairman Rodney Baker-Bates head on?
Has Quercus lost the plot, wondered City readers when The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo publisher announced disappointing annual profits last week. Not one to gloat, Tony Drury – the corporate financier-turned novelist who raised the money to launch the company – has decided to overlook the fact that Quercus turned down his debut novel, Megan's Game. Instead, he is giving Quercus the chance to revive its fortunes by publishing his third opus, a "romantic thriller" titled Cholesterol. He's looking at a June publication date, if Quercus is interested.
Short but sweet for Jeffrey
Brevity is the soul of wit for the literary Baron Archer of Weston-Super-Mare.
The politician-turned-novelist has been announced as the judge of a short story competition run by the e-reader company Kobo Inc, which stipulates that all entries must be kept "within 100 words".
So here opens Diary's entry: "Once upon a time, there was an MP named Jeffrey, who was rather economical with the truth..."

A day after Cumberland County put its preliminary budget for 2014 on display , the consultant hired to help the county save money made some recommendations.
Among them, Public Financial Management told commissioners Wednesday they should look at:
1. Reducing the prison population.
Cumberland Countys annual contribution from its general fund to the prison has grown by more than $6 million in the past five years, and though the violent-crime rate is relatively low, the prison population is 15 percent higher than that of similar-sized counties.
And about half of those inmates are awaiting trial.
The consultant recommended the county take a different approach. Instead of keeping some offenders in prison as they await trial, the county could release them back into the community, using enhanced counseling and monitoring services.
There may be an initial investment in those services, consultants said, but that investment would cost far less than keeping those offenders in prison.
2. Managed competition.
Consultants said competition drives down costs, so it might be a good idea to give some county departments a run for their money.
Consultant Gordan Mann said many functions within the county like delinquent property tax collection, information technologies, payroll, transportation, security and maintenance could be done for less money by an outside contractor.
The county could consider having its departments and contractors submit competing bids, and while the county may still come out on top, the cost of doing business could be driven down by that competition, he said.
3. Rethink employee compensation.
PFM recommended rewarding employees based on performance not longevity, a move the county is planning to do in 2014.
County employees receive annual cost-of-living raises as well as step increases for each year they have worked for the county.
Performance-based raises could reduce costs, consultants said.
In addition, increasing employee contributions to their health insurance may be in order.
4. Listen to the surveys.
The county last week received the results of surveys sent to 2,500 residents, asking them to rank the importance of the county's involvement in a number of areas.
PFM consultants said the county should take a close look at the lower-ranking services, including drug and alcohol services, the agricultural extension and the sheriffs department.
None are performing poorly, or are hemorrhaging money, Mann said, but functions within those departments may be worth examining to see if those funds could be better used elsewhere.
5. A home rule county?
Third-class counties, like Cumberland County, have limited options with how they run their government.
For example, if you wanted to merge the clerk of courts and the Prothonotarys Office, you would run up against the third-class county code, Mann said.
But going the home-rule route, and essentially making your own rules, would give the county more flexibility, Mann said.
That was not necessarily a recommendation, he pointed out, adding it could be a lengthy process like what Carlisle is going through , but the county could consider it.
Wednesday marked the third week of recommendations from PFM. Next Wednesday, consultants will meet with the county again to discuss performance management and measures, and will have another series of recommendations.

Having thrown open all the windows in the house, I gradually became aware that for some time, I'd been hearing the happy voices of little boys at play in some not too distant neighborhood yard. I knew that they, too, were in the halcyon grips of the beautiful late-afternoon; I could hear it in the happy content of their voices. Although I'd not really been listening to their words, suddenly they became quite clear, excited shouts floating through the stilled air:
"Okay! Let's go!"
"WAIT, I have to tell my Mom!"
"Okay!!! I'LL MEET YOU AT THE DIRTPILE!!!!"
I stopped to drink in their pleasure, and imagined them scrambling to grab their favorite toys and running to be the first to start the tunnel that they'd dig from both sides of the pile until it met in the middle and their fingers wiggled through the gritty dark to find each others. They were having a blissful day already, and it was about to get even better.
That evening, I told Dan about it all ... how palpable the beauty of the afternoon was, how happy the children were at play, and how tangible their anticipation was at the prospect of playing AT THE DIRTPILE. It had been heavenly.
Dan was quiet for a minute, and then he said, "I wonder if there's a dirtpile in Heaven."
We savored the thought together, and then we decided yes. For sure. For bliss to be complete in Heaven, there must surely be a dirtpile. And when we'd cleared up that weighty theological question, we decided that's where we'll meet when we both get to Heaven: at the dirtpile.
If you didn't know Dan and had the chance to listen in on his memorial service, you might have thought he was a saint, based on the honoring words spoken about him. Every great thing said about this man I loved with all my heart for more than 28 years is wholly true, but they're not the whole truth. Dan would flat out tell you he was no good. Literally, those are his own words: I'm no good. And then he would go on to tell you about his hero, Jesus Christ, who was wholly good - so good in fact that His death paid the price we all should pay, for all our sinning.
I sat in the pew at the service and wondered if Dan was listening, too. I hoped he was. I hoped he could hear how loved and respected and enjoyed and appreciated he was. I also wondered if, along with feeling the joy of knowing that people really do see your best self in spite of all the contradictory material we give, was he splitting his sides laughing because, like I said, he'd be the first to tell you he was no good? I, being his wife and knowing him better than anyone else, would just look at you and shrug at that. Aren't we all just no good?
Here on earth, we know each other, but we never really know each other fully. We glimpse each other's greatnesses, but they're obscured by our weaknesses. But it's a blissful thing to know and love someone, even so. The Bible says, "Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known" (1 Corinthians 13:12, emphasis mine). In Heaven, we'll know those we've loved, but without the obscuring of sin on both sides ... and it will be even better.
As I think about the incomplete telling of a life, all scrubbed clean of the no good for a final memorial, it strikes me that's what we must be like in Heaven. There, we will be truly free from sin, truly scrubbed clean of its residue, and in the presence of the Hero who made it all possible. We'll be all of the unique good God created each of us to be, and none of the bad.
The "perfect" man we memorialized on June 10 is the man I'll meet again in Heaven someday. In all the best and finest ways I knew him on earth, that's who he'll be in Heaven.
I'll see you at the dirtpile, LtDan.

My favorite game to play, besides scrabble of course, is spades. I was first introduced to the game of spades when I was a middle school student. Learning to play in middle school was a lifesaver because in the seventh grade I started taking classes at my local high school. Most of the upperclassmen just stared at me like a caged zoo animal until the day they needed a fourth player.
"Hey kid, do you know how to play spades?" I was asked.
"Yep", I responded
"Do you know how to play well," they asked.
"Why is that important? You afraid to lose?" I asserted.
The entire class started laughing, and I was invited to sit at the spades table.
Spades continued to be a game that I enjoyed playing throughout high school and college. When I first stepped onto the campus of Florida A&M University and into my dorm, three complete strangers greeted me. We were from different parts of the country, sounded very different, had different majors, and had different life experiences. Other than being four black males randomly chosen to live in the same place, there was one more thing that we had in common; we were all spades players.
After unpacking and saying our good-byes to our families, we sat down to play. Less than five minutes into the game, I'm sure our neighbors could hear the arguing and shouting coming from our apartment.
What happened you might ask?
We all sat down to play a game we grew up loving but never took the time to understand how each person played the game. Once we started talking we realized that we all played the game very differently. Our discussion revealed rules such as first hand bids itself, blind bids, various deuces as trumps, three books for a renege, and finally sand bags.
Most serious spades players equate it to life, and here is why: In life, when you find yourself in a new environment, you have to learn the rules. Sometimes you may be able to discover them through observation, but that may take too long. Often times it requires asking upfront or doing a little research. There are written and unwritten rules in life that if ignored, can not only lead to a breakdown in communication but also lead to negative consequences.
When joining a new company, it is important to understand the company's culture. It is not ok to assume that because you could wear jeans on a Friday or come in at 9:00 a.m. at your old company that the same will work at your new company. Your ability to learn the rules and then play by them impact your ability to be successful at this game I call corporate America. The same applies for traveling domestically or internationally, composing your behavior in certain professional or social settings, or even dating. Never make the assumption that what worked somewhere else or with someone else is going to work somewhere new or with someone new.
Lastly, and most importantly, in some situations, these rules are long established and are very difficult to change. Translation: you will not be able to show up on day one and change the game. Even if you were in a position where you had the power to do so, culture change is difficult and often requires a significant amount of time. You would be better off leaving a company rather than trying to change its culture. On the flip side, some situations are so fluid that the rules change frequently, so you have to be adept at adjusting or you will find yourself out of the game.

Three PAYG credit expiry
Does Three PAYG credit expire after a month/30 days, or does it keep going until it runs out?
Pondlife Jan. 18, 2014 at 09:42
Don't think it runs out, but mine normally lasts about 15 seconds until I turn it into an add on with 300m/unlim texts and unlim data.
Actual credit definitely won't expire after as little as a month, think if you don't use the phone for several months they'll turn the sim off though. But if you are on the 3,2,1 thing and make a text a month I think it'll stay on til it runs out.
CTPAHHIK Jan. 20, 2014 at 11:57
Never had Three credit expire. You need to keep using your SIM, like Pondlife mentioned. Receiving a phone call once a month does the trick.
matt101101 / MOD Jan. 20, 2014 at 14:25
I think SIM deactivation happens after 180 days without use, other than that your credit never expires.

LobsterFest 2014 will be held at the Ossining Boat and Canoe Club, 1 Westerly Road. The event features lobsters, a clams and mussels buffet, corn-on-the-cob, potato salad, desserts and a cash bar for $35.
"It's going to be fun," Gayle Marchica, president of the chamber said. "I am very excited. We are hoping to make this a yearly tradition. We're getting reservations from a lot of people whose names we don't recognize, which is a good thing."
The chamber was initially expected to have 50 people but has already sold 125 tickets. Marchica said many people are coming from Rockland County, taking the Haverstraw Ferry to the village. The lobsterfest is the same night as a concert in Engel Park.
"It's going to be a fun Friday night in Ossining," Marchica said.
Any money raised goes right back into helping Ossining's local businesses thrive and grow.
"We want to offer our businesses grants that could help them put up signage or getting their storefront painted. We want to help them contribute and reroute money back in the community."
The chamber helped donate new speakers to the Town of Ossining's donations. Marchica is also happy the boat club was willing to help out.
"We love to be able to show people how beautiful and usable the boat club is," Marchica said. "They have been tremendous.
Marchica said she likes her lobster with butter and hot sauce and with corn on the side.
The chamber has regular meetings with businesses, educating them on topics like growing their business or using social media as a marketing tool. The chamber also offers a health insurance program.
"It's a great spot for people to get information," Marchica said. "We're an incubator for local businesses.
Marchica said she is looking to get businesses downtown and to fill vacant spaces.
"We look forward to continued growth," Marchica said.

What if the pagans of Ancient Babylon took the traditions of the Enuma Elish and compiled and edited their teaching for the instruction of their youth? I imagine the results would be something like the following:
The Most Sacred Catechism of the Third Plenary Council of Babylon
With references and notes for today's youth
1. Who made the world?
A: The gods made the world.
2. Who are the gods?
A: Tiamat, Apsu, Mummu, Ea, Damkina are all gods, but Marduk is their King.
3. Why is Marduk worthy of praise?
A: Because he vanquished Tiamat and Kingu, and used their corpses to create the earth and men.
4. Why did Marduk make man?
A: To serve the gods as their slaves.
The fictitious BabylCat's first four questions, comical as they are, present a cosmos vastly different from the world as it is known by the Judeo-Christian tradition. Although the points of departure are many, the BabylCat underscores the three most important differences between Christian and Babylonian thought. First, in the Babylonian account, a pantheon of gods pre-exists the creation of men. Second, the god Marduk must merit his right to be worshipped. Finally, Marduk makes men out of the flesh of the fallen that they may serve him as slaves.
The Hebrew belief in one God, perfect in goodness, set the Jewish people apart from the vast majority of ancient cultures. The one God is totally good: evil is not in him, nor is evil from Him. On the other hand, the gods of Babylon are both good and evil. They suffer temptations and succumb to passions just as human persons do. Thus in the beginning of the world, there was a great battle between clashing cosmic forces attributed to various deities. For Christians today, it may seem rudimentary to believe that God is one and completely good, but we do well to meditate on this momentous truth. The fact that God is one and good keeps believers clear of the creeping temptations of the Star Wars cosmology and the deification of evil.
The one, good God who reveals himself to Abraham, Moses and the prophets deserves praise simply because of who he is. By his very being this God is worthy of adoration. He is Lord of the Universe since all things depend on him for existence, from the very moment he made them until the moment they cease to be. The God of Abraham is the only necessary being, which is to say, He is the only thing that needs to be. Everything else comes from him, depends on him, and is subject to his rule. Marduk, on the other hand, must merit his lordship. Marduk becomes King of the gods by vanquishing a foe, by proving that he is the strongest of the gods in the Babylonian epic. The difference between God and Marduk stems from existence. There is an infinite gap between the transcendent and necessary existence of God and Marduk's paltry existence as the Babylonian strongman.
Finally, when Marduk makes the world he molds it out of the flesh and bone of his vanquished enemies. Again, our God outdoes Marduk, since He creates all of creation ex nihilo, out of nothing. Whereas Marduk reforges things already in existence, our God gives the goodness of being to the world from its very inception. In the Babylonian conception, the world had to be refashioned in order to be made good, but in the Christian account, the created world is good from the beginning.
Ultimately, the Christian God bestows a great dignity on man, when He makes man in His own image. Like everything God has made, man is good by virtue of his creation, but as being created in the Imago Dei, man is called to an even more exalted participation in God's own goodness. Human beings, from the start, resemble their maker and are called to participate in God's own divine life. The whole point of a Christian's life is communion with God. By the revelation of the truths of the faith, the grace of the sacraments, and the discipleship of the moral life, God calls each person to union with him.
The call to communion with the triune God is the great theme of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC), upon which Pope Benedict has called the faithful to meditate anew during this Year of Faith. Within the first chapter of the CCC, we can already find the three main differences between the Christian cosmos and the Babylonian worldview. Having established the fundamentals of the Christian understanding of the cosmos, the Catechism then lays out in three sections the contents of the faith which we profess, the celebration of the Christian mystery (sacraments) and life in Christ (the moral life). The Catechism concludes with a final section on prayer, the foretaste of communion with God. For in prayer, even in this life, the Christian can have a living relationship with the Lord of all creation, who is goodness beyond measure.

[This is a repost of a news story elsewhere on our site]Two iOS hacks to let iPhone users load their own applications are due to be released tomorrow, October 10, perhaps within hours of each other. Some websites already are running polls to see which one users prefer. "Jailbreaking" is the term given to a code exploit that "frees" the iPhone to load applications outside of Apple's iTunes-based App Store. For a group of computer-savvy endusers, this is an unalloyed benefit, letting them load any applications they wish. For enterprise IT, jailbroken iOS devices can pose a security risk. The latest GreenPois0n exploit, for iOS 4.1 on devices with the Apple A4 chip, has been promised for some time, with a due date of Sunday October 10, at 10:10:20 am (presumably GMT). It's being developed by the Chronic Dev Team. But the hacker community is roiling with excitement and argument over the surprise announcement of another jailbreak, LimeRa1n, which promises to open up any and all current iOS devices.Leaks about LimeRa1n began surfacing on the Web, with various hackers claiming or claiming to confirm that it was being created by George Hotz, more commonly known by his online handle Geohot. (iPhone Download Blog has a good summary of the swirl of claims.) Hotz is usually given credit for the first iPhone jailbreak. But he announced via Twitter in July 2010 that he was giving up his iOS hacking. A new jailbreak blog, LoadingChanges.com, posted a photograph that shows 4 different iOS devices sporting a green teardrop on their displays, emblematic of LimeRa1n. Hotz's new jailbreak tool apparently exploits a vulnerability in the iOS boot ROM. The new GreenPois0n version apparently makes use of a different one. And that's unfortunate, tweeted a member of the iPhone Dev-Team hacking group, with the handle Musclenerd. "As dramatic as geohot's last-minute all-device JB [jailbreak] is, still a shame that two bootrom holes will be burned at once," he posted. Later, he added, "The ultimate goal should be not wasting 2 bootrom holes at once, all other issues aside."That's because, by exposing these low-level security holes, Apple software engineers can plug them.Hotz and the Chronic Dev Team apparently are working together to substitute the boot ROM weakness uncovered by Hotz in the GreenPois0n release due out tomorrow. But the hacker group has vowed not to miss its release target, according to one member, Joshua Hill, tweeting as @pOsixninja.
Second iOS jailbreak hack due Sunday
Pioneering iPhone hacker George Hotz will release LimeRa1n for all iOS devices

A red carpet screening of the feature film "Savannah" was held at Frank Theatres' Victory Square 9 on Aug. 23.
When a movie filmed in Savannah, named "Savannah", and premiered in Savannah - one of 12 cities chosen for an opening day release - you can bet every media outlet in town will be red-carpet ready.
So are 240 eager movie fans, one of the most amped is Savannah Filmmaker's co-founder David Gray. Meeting the talented actor for the first time, I streamline my request to make sure I get a pic of him with director Annette Haywood Carter.
With a smile and nod, he is pulled away for yet another interview so I make my way over to former "Vice President Andrew Johnson" from the "Conspirator." Also known as Dennis Clark, the retired Caterpillar engineer insists that I get a pic of his actor friends.
There are four of them - Philip Aultman, John Deifer, Joe Johnson and Tom Nelson. The guys are movie veterans with so many film titles that I get a bit overwhelmed with their diverse roles and credits.
While the lobby is filling up with eager supporters, I beeline over to movie managers, Michael Pimentel and Jarid Blackenship. I ask what new movies I should be stoked about. My old friends who look way too young to be managers reply, "Riddick! You know - with Vin Diesel."
Back over at the red carpet entrance PR guru Marjorie Young is flying solo, Savannah Film Commission's Jan Kramer is looking radiant in fuchsia while her always dapper husband Gerald is looking quite formal even without socks!
Taking a break to chat with WJCLs' Larry Spruill, I am approached by another journalist. Carrying a Canon camera, Corey Brooks introduces himself.
I know this name. He's a Spotted guy! With tons of pics of everything from comedy and bike shows to color runs and baseball tournaments posted on the Savannah Morning News' site, I now have a face to go with a name.
Another SMN face is Katie Martin who informs me of her weekend plans which include a trip to Tybee to interview a duck that is walked with a leash. I just pictured this and it makes my heart happy to hear of yet another odd character in our Lowcountry.
The next trio of photo volunteers are Larry Fail, an extra in the movie's bar scene, Humane Society gift shop volunteer Sue Deifer and her exuberant husband John, an extra who got pulled out of the crowd to be the preacher who marries the leading couple.
Actors are everywhere sharing hugs, air kisses and striking a pose for a pic. Someone use to both sides of the camera is uber-artistic Anthony Paderewski.
The busy model, photographer and actor gives me the scoop on his next role. "I'm starring in a feature film 'Curse of the House of Usher' in Charleston, S.C., next spring," shares the busy actor.
My next movie star photo is of Simone Griffin, a Savannah native who shares time in Los Angeles and New York, has appeared in over 100 television shows and who, along with Sam Sheppard, play the parents of Ward Allen.
With two upcoming films next year, "Sleeping Around" filmed in North Carolina and "Untouched," filmed here in Savannah where she plays the matriarch of a law firm family, the gorgeous blonde admits, "Although I'm thrilled about my new movies, it was working with Sam Sheppard that is one of my career highlights."
Because the movie is about to start, I hustle Lisa Semeko, Donna Stephens and Terri Collins - three lovely ladies from St. Joseph / Candler - together for a quick photo session.
Next I round up local actor, 8-year-old Wynn Ambos with his attractive, blonde family, Ashley, Liz and Drew and follow it up a face from the past. Jessica Ghormley shares that she is working on SWAHT - Savannah Working Against Human Trafficking.
Only in Savannah can you go from serious causes like this to seeing Mayor Edna Jackson attempt to sneak past the camera and follow it up with an introduction to tonight's special guest, Annette Haywood Carter.
I know Annette's lively sister Susan Haywood Tobelman so I don't mind asking the ladies to wait for Susan's son David to join the family pic before they are escorted into the theatre.
It's show time! The lobby smells like a big bucket of buttered popcorn and before David Gray makes a dash for the movie, I get a perfect sound bite in one take.
"As a local Savannahian, I can say that is a true picture of our town. From the flyover marsh scenes, the downtown shots and the Gullah influences - this film shows the world the Savannah I know," shares the expressive actor.
As he and his talented son Jackson Whalen, a movie veteran at the ripe old age of 12, promise me, the film is like the stillwater reflection of Savannah's waterways - a perfect mirror of the Lowcountry that you need to see to appreciate!

Alexis Negative
In the end, we find out this is a ploy by Anna, Sonny and Alexis to trap Jules. Alexis isn't pregnant.
Julian goes to talk to Alexis and says he wants her to take a PG test in front of him to prove it.
Morgan buys Carly flowers, or stole them. Where did he get the money? He's all happy about Kiki.
Dillon wants Kiki though...but Kiki says she needs to help Morgan.
Anna talked to Griffin. Griffin asks Anna about Nathan. She said he was a good cop-- and nice to her. Griffin says he got 'pulled into a situation' with Nathan and Maxie. And then talks about Claudette coming to him for help and then they had sex.
Later, we get a flashback of them in bed..then we see someone with the same ring on look at Nate and Maxie's engagement photo on the internet.
ME during GH today...geeesh...zzzzzzzzz.

Metrocourt restaurant:
Sonny and Julian:
Julian: Alexis is pregnant? That makes no sense. Alexis cannot be pregnant.
Oh? Why is that Julian? Are you sterile? Or maybe because Alexis had MENOPAUSE!!!
Sonny and Morgan: Morgan the idiot is delusional! Love that Sonny is trying to talk to him about Kiwi! Now why can't he talk to Michael about Sabrina? Why does Carly have to be the heavy?
The REAL park:
Kiwi and Dillon: It's crunch time!

Sonny: Welcome!
Anna: Says the spider to the fly.
ROFL! Awww Anna you still don't trust him? I thought you would by now! :)
Sonny: Julian took the bait.

Metrocourt restaurant part 2:

Dillon Jr: NO!

A 14 year old boy in India read about injuries to soldiers in the Indian army from landmines (large mines are for vehicles, some mines are small for the anti-personnel role). He spent about a year developing a cheap (and almost disposable) drone to detect them using infrared at a distance from the soldiers, and then detonating them with a tiny radio-actuated explosive that is placed onto the mine. His new company is called "Aerobatics 7". A "Crore" is ten-million, so the 5-Crore contract is worth 50-M Rupees, or $741,000 USD. So...what did you accomplish by the time you were 14?

Date of communication: 27 June 2007 (initial submission)
Date of adoption of the Decision: 19 March 2010
* Made public by decision of the Human Rights Committee.

Procedural issues: Non-substantiation of claim; evaluation of facts and evidence, incompatibility ratione materiae
Articles of the Covenant: 11 and 14, paragraph 2
Article of the Optional Protocol: 3
Decision of the Human Rights Committee under the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
(ninety-eighth session)
Communication No. 1624/2007**
Submitted by: Mr. JosĂ© Conrado Seto MartĂnez (represented by counsel, Mr. Miquel Nadal Borrás)
Alleged victim: The author
State Party: Spain
Date of communication: 27 June 2007 (initial submission)
The Human Rights Committee, established under article 28 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,
Meeting on 19 March 2010,
Adopts the following:
Decision on admissibility
1. The author of the communication, dated 27 June 2007, is JosĂ© Conrado Seto MartĂnez, a Spanish national born in 1948. He claims to be victim of a violation by Spain of articles 11 and 14, paragraph 2, of the Covenant. He is represented by counsel, Mr. Miquel Nadal Borrás. The Optional Protocol entered into force for Spain on 25 April 1985.
Factual background
2.1 The author and his wife separated by mutual agreement in 1997. On 15 November 2002, the criminal court No. 7 of Barcelona found the author guilty of the offence of failure to pay alimony (abandono de familia) under article 227 of the Spanish Criminal Code and sentenced him to twelve weekends' imprisonment and reimbursement of the sums owed to his ex-wife.
2.2 On 11 March 2003, the Barcelona Provincial Court (Audiencia Provincial de Barcelona) upheld the earlier ruling, while limiting the payment to the amounts outstanding for the period from July 1997 to March 2002.
2.3 On 25 July 2003, the author appealed (amparo) to the Constitutional Court, claiming a breach of constitutional provisions, such as the presumption of innocence and article 11 of the Covenant, which is considered to be part of Spanish law. On 25 January 2005, the Constitutional Court rejected the appeal. With respect the presumption of innocence, it considered the claim unsubstantiated in view of the evidence available on file, which had been obtained lawfully. As regards the claim on article 11 of the Covenant, the Court noted first, that alimony payments could not be characterized as "contractual� obligations, and second, that it was proven that the author had sufficient financial means to fulfil his alimony obligation.
2.4 On 16 May 2007, the European Court of Human Rights declared the author's case inadmissible on the ground that the facts presented by him did not appear to constitute a violation of any of the articles of the European Convention on Human Rights and its Protocols.
The complaint
3.1 The author alleges a violation of article 11 of the Covenant, insofar as he was sentenced to deprivation of liberty for a debt which he had failed to pay solely for lack of financial resources and not deliberately.
3.2 He also claims a violation of article 14, paragraph 2, of the Covenant, as the existence of sufficient financial means was not duly proven in the Spanish courts.
Issues and proceedings before the Committee
4.1 Before considering any claims contained in a communication, the Human Rights Committee must, in accordance with article 93 of its Rules of Procedure, decide whether or not the communication is admissible under the Optional Protocol to the Covenant.
4.2 The Committee has ascertained that the author has exhausted all available domestic remedies, as required under article 5, paragraph 2 (b), of the Optional Protocol.
4.3 With regard to the alleged violation of article 11 of the Covenant by the imposition of a custodial sentence for failure to pay alimony, the Committee notes that the case concerns a failure to meet not a contractual obligation but a legal obligation, as provided in article 227 of the Spanish Criminal Code. The obligation to pay alimony is derived from Spanish law and not from the separation or divorce agreement signed by the author and his ex-wife.1 Consequently, the Committee finds the communication incompatible ratione materiae with the provisions of article 11 of the Covenant, and thus inadmissible under article 3 of the Optional Protocol.
4.4 With regard to the claim under article 14, paragraph 2, the author claims that it has not been proven in court that he had sufficient financial means to fulfil his alimony obligations. In this regard, the Committee recalls its jurisprudence2 that it is generally for the domestic courts to evaluate facts and evidence in a particular case, unless it can be ascertained that such evaluation was clearly arbitrary or amounted to a denial of justice. The material before the Committee does not show that the conduct of the trial suffered from any such defects. Accordingly, this part of the communication is inadmissible as incompatible with the provisions of the Covenant, pursuant to article 3 of the Optional Protocol.
4.5 The Human Rights Committee therefore decides:
(a) That the communication is inadmissible under article 3 of the Optional
(b) That the decision be transmitted to the State Party, to the author and to his counsel.
[Adopted in English, French and Spanish, the English text being the original version. Subsequently to be issued also in Arabic, Chinese and Russian as part of the Committee's annual report to the General Assembly.]

Building materials - Note 22 and Note 23: furniture: cupboards, wardrobes, and so on
Cupboards and wardrobes are generally formed in one of three ways, namely by:
- fitting a prefabricated modular carcass system into an available space. Normally the 'wasted' space surrounding the carcass will be masked off with trim panels
- fitting out an available space with components that are largely unique to that installation (these are often shaped on site)
- enclosing an available space without fitting it out.
The first two methods always result in furniture that (other than for kitchen furniture) is excluded from being 'building materials'. The third does not.
The borderline between the last method and the previous two is explained in Notice 708 Buildings and construction. This borderline means that items listed below are 'building materials' and should feature no more than 'basic storage facility', which are formed by becoming part of the fabric of the building:
- airing cupboards
- under stair storage cupboards
- cloaks/vestibule cupboards
- larders, closets and the like.
Examples of installations that are not 'building materials' can be found in:
- McLean Homes Midlands Ltd ([1993] STC 335)
- Stuart Henry Wade (VTD 13164)
- Simon Leon t/a Custom Bedrooms (VTD 13200)
- Moores Furniture Group Ltd (VTD 15044).
In the early decision in Harrington Construction Ltd (VTD 3470), the internal fitting out of the wardrobe consisted of a single shelf with hanging rail beneath. The Tribunal decided that the installation was not fitted furniture, and this has been accepted ever since.
However, no other forms of fitting out should be accepted. As has been shown in the decision in Moores Furniture Group Ltd (VTD 15044), where the Tribunal stated:
…the addition of [a raised floor] materially alters the impression of the unit which would be given to the onlooker opening the doors. He would not merely see a part of the room divided off but would perceive something much more akin to a piece of designed furniture.

From Muslim to Arab and South Asian groups, to New York and that "state up north," Amna Akbar has put her lawyering skills to use in many communities. And this fall she'll be bringing them to students at The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law as a visiting clinical professor of law.
After providing legal services to immigrant battered women and then representing men held by the United States in the extraordinary rendition and secret detention program, Akbar saw U.S. national security policies were encroaching on the rights of Muslim, Arab, and South Asian communities not just abroad, but at home as well. It was then that Akbar decided to combine her commitment in community legal services with her interest in critically examining national security policies.
In joining the Creating Law Enforcement Accountability and Responsibility (CLEAR) project of the Immigrant & Refugee Rights Clinic at City University of New York (CUNY) School of Law in the fall of 2011, Akbar set out to help support those communities whose rights were being encroached upon.
The CLEAR project was established in 2009 by CUNY students and faculty to address needs that weren't being addressed by other legal service providers or civil rights groups. According to Akbar, raids on local Afghan communities underlined how law enforcement officials target Muslim communities for indiscriminate questioning and searches.
Muslim community members needed a greater awareness for their legal rights and access to legal services to protect those rights, Akbar said.
As a supervising attorney and adjunct professor for the project, Akbar helped her students to take the lead in the innovative community lawyering project that combines legal services, support for community organizing initiatives, and rights awareness work. She said she hopes students at Ohio State will take away similar lessons as the students involved in the CLEAR project.
"I hope the students will take from the clinic critical thinking and reflective lawyering skills, grounded in clients' realities," Akbar said. "In clinic, students will learn how to meet with a client, listen to her talk about her dilemma, and then to think creatively and collaboratively about how to best use their lawyering skills to help the client achieve her goal."
Akbar will begin her appointment in the fall by teaching in the Civil Clinic at Moritz. She said she is committed to community-based lawyering projects, such as the CLEAR project.
"Community lawyering projects give students a rich context in which to learn what it means to be an attorney, the opportunities, privileges, and limitations to our role," she said. Her scholarship focuses on national security, criminal law, and rights discourses. "I'm excited to join the fantastic clinical program and faculty at Moritz."
A graduate of University of Michigan, the alumnus of the "state up North" does not hold any ill will toward Buckeye Nation.
"For most of my life I've been fairly agnostic about sports," Akbar said, laughing. "I have never watched a University of Michigan football game, so I'm starting with a clean slate," she promised. "I can't wait to attend my first college game ever—as a Buckeye."
After law school graduation, Akbar clerked for Gerard E. Lynch, now on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, when he served as a district court judge in the Southern District of New York.
Akbar said she enjoys cooking, biking, attending music and dance performances, and going to art galleries in her spare time.
"I am excited to explore what I've heard is a fantastic gallery scene in Columbus," Akbar said. "And I'm looking forward to getting to know the students and faculty, and the local communities in Columbus in need of legal services that our clinic can provide."

Some time ago I wrote on this blog how the 'War on Terrorism' was an unquestioned and convenient conceptual confusion for 'democratic' states which is meant to give them an official permit to wage an unofficial and implicit war on civilian populations in supposedly 'undemocratic' states 'fostering' terrorism, using them as a proxy to pressure their governments and their organisations. On both sides, civilians are terrorised by fear and random killings. On one side, the 'democratic' side, civilians are intimidated by a moralising power whose legitimacy becomes artificially democratic, seated on the fear of its people, not their reason and moral and practical judgments. On the other side, civilians are for the 'democratic' side merely a collateral damage, a secondary casualty, an uncounted crowd and unaccounted for bodies with dramatic deaths and shattered lives.
This has happened with the
During its 'war on terrorism' the US has lost its nuclear dispute with North Korea, gave the Shiites of Iraq, natural allies of Iran, a gift victory on Saddam, Iran's foe, and reinforced therefore Iran's standing in the region, lost hearts and minds in the entire middle east with its unconditional support for Israel and has consequently and paradoxically produced, with its 'war on terrorism', results contrary to its initial aim.
Up to now, the 'war on terrorism' has produced nothing and killed much more civilians than the attack on the WTC. It didn't even produce friendly regimes for the
The license to kill came also to
The license to kill came astonishingly this time via a 'Fatwa', a Saudi Fatwa. My fellow blogger, Middle East Memo, uncovered the Fatwa.
The Saudi Fatwa supports Olmert in his efforts to eliminate Hezbollah so Sunni extremists will be left with no 'competition'. Sunni extremists don't have the popular support Hezbollah enjoys in Lebanon. Hezbollah has real support because of its social programs and the prestige of a regular army who fought and won against the occupation while Sunni extremists, like Al-Qaida, have specialised in internal dissent against their own government. That's why Saudi Arabia was, for a while now, exporting its own Sunni extremists outside the country hoping to busy them with other matters than the ones that concern them in the first place; their own rulers. This is how Sunni Islamism became international:
Bin Laden must be dancing in his cave. And I am sure that all Islam and Muslim bashers, from Daniel Pipes to Hirsi Ali, Salman Rushdie, Irshad Manji, Henri-Lévy, Alain Finkielkraut and the secularist fanatic European and American left wouldn't notice this Fatwa, make official declarations about it and organise petition signatures against it.
With an international license to kill,
-No war on terrorism can be won via traditional warfare because destructed weaponry will be replaced and ideology won't die by bombs. On the contrary ideologies tend to come out from such a crisis reinforced and stronger.
- By targeting civilian populations and civilian infrastructure, states who 'fight terrorism' are actually practicing terrorism with a 'license to kill'. Despite an assured military victory* for
*The military victory means here inflicting heavy casualties and losses in the enemy and weakening it. It means also occupying the enemy's territory.

Geico's Customer Service Reps Are So Infuriatingly Polite I Can't Stand Them
Customer service representatives on the phone can be rude, brusque, and just plain useless. But what happens when their phone demeanor is so polite and full of thanks and apologies that it's excessive and a waste of everyone's time? It's part of the script, but is it productive? That's what John wondered during a recent call to his insurance company, Geico.
Yesterday I called Geico on my way home from work to get a renters' insurance policy for my new apartment. The agent goes through the standard list of questions pretaining to my personal info and the apartment they'll be insuring. After every…single…question…that I answered he responded with "Thank you, I greatly appreciate that information." I believe I heard this phrase upwards of 40 times. He put me on hold to finish up the new policy and got off hold 3 times to profusely apologize for me waiting and that he was still working on it. For one, you don't need to thank me 40 times for answering your 40 questions. I understand it's part of the process, a process which would go by much quicker without the polite fluff. Secondly, you can finish up the work much quicker without switching back over to tell me "Thank you so much for your patience sir, I really do apologize for the wait, I'm continuing to finalize your policy and appreciate your continued patience so much." Yeah, great, I get it, but get it done with, please.
There seems to be a trend with companies who try to overextend themselves with great customer service. They go past "great" and enter the realm of "supremely annoying." I understand they are supposed to build rapport with the customer with a bit of small talk, but some of the company-inserted lines are ridiculous. For example, when I call the cable company, I'm tired of them giving me the whole "Thank you for choosing our cable company, it is our pleasure to serve you and we appreciate your business." Of course you do, but you can show it by fixing my problem. If you can't fix my problem, no amount of lip service is going to make me think after I hang up, "Gee, that company really sucks, but that was a swell CSR thanking me for my business. I think I'll be quite okay with them royally screwing up my bill now because they appreciate my business."
It's tough for them to put on such friendly fronts most of the time, as well. It would save everyone some time, effort, and frustration to cut through the fluffy smoochy crap.
I agree with John–I hate talking on the phone and prefer efficiency. What do you think?

J. Howard Beales III, the new director of the Federal Trade Commission consumer protection bureau, said in this newspaper last week that some current testimonial ads raise questions about "whether the [advertised] product is responsible for the advertised benefit." That's a very basic issue, and one that certainly could open the door to FTC investigations of particular advertisers, and eventually even lead to prosecutions.
Testimonials have been the focus of previous FTC actions. The use in ads of actors in "white coats," which suggested they were physicians, triggered one notable crackdown. An endorsement by a celebrity with an undisclosed business interest in the product triggered another.
This continued concern by regulators reflects the continued credibility consumers are willing to give to testimonials. That acceptance gives testimonials a power that marketers should protect. When the product experience for most consumers doesn't live up to testimonial-fed expectations, all testimonials can suffer. And that means marketers should welcome periodic government scrutiny if that's what it takes to maintain consumer confidence in what endorsers have to say.
Established law, embraced in the ad industry's own self-regulation programs, requires marketers to back up material claims with evidence, or a "reasonable basis." Making a claim in the form of a testimonial does not free a marketer of the responsibility for having that "reasonable basis." Nor does hedging, by saying the endorser's experience is "not typical," ease the likelihood that some consumers might be misled.
