Volkswagen gives its biggest seller, the Golf, a pure electric drivetrain to prove it's very, very serious about the future.
Before we tee off on Golf, I need to mention the other pure-electric cars Volkswagen unveiled at the Frankfurt motor show. One was a light commercial vehicle based on the up sub-compact hatch, called the load-up. I'd have gone with upload in this digital age, myself. As for the electric up hatchback, which we drive in the next issue of the mag, it's really hard to say the name without sounding a lot Scottish and craving haggis. E-up laddie.
Jokes aside, this is serious mum. When a company like Porsche calls hybrids "a cornerstone of our future drivetrain strategy", you know they're here to stay. And when Volkswagen develops an electric Golf - the e-Golf - for mass production and sale, you know it's coming to a shopping centre near you very, very soon.
Not too soon for Australia, though. Volkswagen's local management isn't convinced we Aussies will buy these battery-powered urban conveyances in sufficient numbers, even though they both have a real-world range well into triple figures. For the record, VW claims the e-up's 18.7kWh battery pack is good for 140-160km depending on driving style. The e-Golf, which gets a bigger battery pack, can do up to 190km. And these aren't empty claims; on our e-up test drive, we managed 140km from a single charge - and that's while driving it with little though towards conservation.
Still, it's worth bearing in mind the e-up's European price tag: E26,900. That's around $38,000 in Aussie pesos, or two Nissan Pulsars. No price details for the e-Golf yet, but it won't be cheaper. Maybe VW's Aussie crew are right to be cautious. Until these cars become competitive on price with conventional internal combustion, it's hard to see them really hitting the big time anywhere but with rich, early-adopting tree huggers.

Antibiotics aren't always the answer. Unnecessary prescriptions for antibiotics create new, drug-resistant strains of common diseases. Prescribing antibiotics carefully and using them wisely is the key to preventing the spread of antibiotic-resistant illnesses.
Antibiotic resistance can cause significant danger and suffering for people who have common infections that once were easily treatable with antibiotics. When antibiotics fail to work, the consequences are longer-lasting illnesses, more doctor visits or extended hospital stays, and the need for more expensive medications. Children are of particular concern because they have the highest rates of antibiotic use.
When are antibiotics needed?
Colds, flu, sore throats and coughs are usually caused by viruses, not bacteria. Antibiotics should only be used when prescribed by a doctor to treat bacterial infections. Antibiotics won't help you recover from a viral infection.
- Ear infections: There are several types; many need antibiotics, but some do not.
- Sinus infections: Most sinus infections are caused by a virus, but antibiotics are needed for some long-lasting or severe cases of bacterial sinusitis.
- Sore throat: Viruses cause most cases of sore throat. One major kind of bacterial infection (streptococcus infection) does requires antibiotics.
- Colds: Colds are caused by viruses and may last for two weeks or longer. Antibiotics have no effect on colds, but your doctor may have suggestions for obtaining comfort while the illness runs its course.
What can I do to avoid antibiotic-resistant infections?
- Do not demand an antibiotic when your health care provider determines one is not appropriate.
- Do not take an antibiotic for a viral infection like a cold, a cough or the flu.
- Take an antibiotic exactly as prescribed. Do not skip doses. Finish taking all of a prescribed antibiotic, even if you are feeling better.
- Do not save any antibiotics for the next time you get sick. Discard any leftover medication once you have completed your prescribed course of treatment.
- Do not take antibiotics prescribed for someone else. The antibiotic may not be appropriate for your illness. Taking the wrong medicine may delay correct treatment and allow a bacterial infection to worsen.
- Always consult your physician about any prescription drug.
What physicians can do
- Talk to your patients about appropriate use of antibiotics.
- Avoid treating viral syndromes with antibiotics, even when patients ask for them.
- Pay attention to dose and duration: the right antibiotic needs to be prescribed at the right dose for the right duration.
- Be aware of antibiotic-resistance patterns in your area so that you can always choose the right antibiotic.
- Include microbiology cultures, when possible, when ordering antibiotics.
- Work with pharmacists to ensure appropriate antibiotic use and prevent resistance and adverse events.

Rosslyn Chapel is located in Roslin village, 7 miles from Edinburgh. The chapel can trace its history back to 1446 and it has been a very popular tourist attraction for many years. It is known for its decorative art and fine stone carving. In recent years its fame and popularity has increased significantly due to the starring role it played in The Da Vinci Code. So much so that in recent years the chapel has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in Scotland.
Not surprisingly after close to 600 years service, the building has recently undergone major conservation work to refurbish and upgrade the infrastructure as well as to add a visitor's centre, to cope with the annual 70,000 visitor numbers.
An important element of this work has been to stabilise the internal temperature and to provide the back-up services that are now key to such an important landmark. To achieve this Grundfos Pumps Ltd worked with contractors PS Scotland from Glasgow to offer a turnkey solution that included a range of Grundfos energy efficient pumps including ALPHA2 and MAGNA circulators, TPE centrifugal pumps, a Hydro Multi-E booster set, an IMpress pressurisation set as well as various ancillary items.
The £13m project is now coming to an end and soon the building will once again be fully open to visitors who will be able to see the chapel restored to its former glory. The site has long been the subject of speculation regarding a connection between it and the Knights Templar and the Holy Grail. Wherever the truth lies, the chapel is about to embark on the latest chapter of its history which will now deliver this ancient structure, complete with 21st century comfort levels, to the next generation of visitors.

Gov. Robert Bentley:
Gov. Robert Bentley:
Two years ago, I and my son moved to Alabama for a better quality of life. One of our considerations was health care.
My first stop was the Department of Aging for Medicare insurance. I didn't like my choices, but I signed on with a major insurer in this state.
My worst fear came to fruition one year later. My zero insurance premium went to $180 and then to $300. Take it or find another Medicare insurer. I found that insurer with a $0 premium and excellent customer service.
My son, on unemployment compensation at the time of moving to Alabama, has not been so lucky. He has a pre-existing condition.
According to local health practitioners, he is a male over 18, single and is not covered by Medicaid. He has to apply for charity at UAB to receive medical care, if he is approved. With no money for gas, it falls on me to pay for this medical cost. I was told to purchase, through the government exchange health, insurance at $217 a month. Once again, I would have to pay this premium.
Want to reform Medicaid? I and many people I have talked with suggest the following:
1. Stop subsidizing irresponsible adults who have children they cannot afford.
2. Responsible adults who have lost their unemployment compensation benefits should be picked up by Medicaid.
3. Adults and children who are overweight or obese should be required to enroll in lifestyle change programs to lose the weight, or lose their benefits.
President Barack Obama has acknowledged that the health care act needs "tweaking." I consider myself to be learned and educated.
I, and many others in the state, would appreciate your point-by-point reflection of the Affordable Health Care Act mailed to every resident in the state of Alabama.
I would also like it written in understandable plain English and not "legalese."
Too expensive to mail? Have it printed and available at county health departments and the Department of Aging.

Seems to me that Japan had very little control over the "news cycle" of this controversy. The Japanese government only purchased the islands in a (failed) attempt to avoid this type of controversy... it was seen as preferable to allowing Tokyo's sinophobic mayor to acquire them. At that point the controversy was pretty much out of their hands, all they could do was sit back and let the rage in China play it's course.
There has been a lot of speculation that the outrage in China was encouraged and manufactured as a distraction while the Communist Party sorted through some internal issues. It's possible that Chinese authorities simply saw no further need for the controversy to continue, and simply allowed it to die.
Of course one wonders if they accounted for the longer-term consequences of stoking such hatreds. If Chinese public distaste for Japanese brands continues, and Japan is forced to cut back on investments and manufacturing in China, it could hurt China just as much as Japan.
Oh I wasn't trying to suggest anyone had control over the news cycle in this story. Only that Japan decided that because of the economic damage being caused by all the news that was flying around internationally, that it would be in their best economic interests to back away from this whole dispute--at least for now.
I'm not overly concerned that this will produce long-term "Chinese public distaste for Japanese brands". Didn't the story linked a few posts ago already state that the Japanese mfg plants in China were already getting back into production albeit at a lower level than had existed before the shit hit the fan.
edit: Meant to add that when I was in town a few days ago, the papers covering the Chinese character for 'Japan' on the sushi restaurants have been removed. Looks like things are returning to normal here.

Kyoto Prize Awarded to Penn State's Masatoshi Nei
Main Content
Masatoshi Nei, Evan Pugh Professor of Biology and director of the Institute for Molecular Evolutionary Genetics at Penn State University, has been honored as the recipient of the 2013 Kyoto Prize in Basic Sciences. The international award is presented by the Inamori Foundation to individuals who have contributed significantly to the progress of science, the advancement of civilization, and the enrichment and elevation of the human spirit. The foundation honored Nei in recognition of his "research on the evolution of biological populations using quantitative analyses of genetic variation and evolutionary time."
In announcing the award, the foundation stated, "Dr. Masatoshi Nei made it possible to discuss evolutionary divergence, genetic diversity, and the mode of selection on genes in a quantitative manner by devising diverse statistical methods such as Nei's genetic distance, and applying them to molecular data. Using these methods, Dr. Nei's research has yielded important contributions to molecular evolutionary biology, as well as to many other academic disciplines including ecology and conservation biology." The award, which includes a diploma, a monetary prize, and a gold medal, will be bestowed upon Nei during the Kyoto Prize Presentation Ceremony in Kyoto, Japan, in November 2013.
Nei has received many other awards throughout his career. In 2006, he was honored by the Genetics Society of America with its Thomas Hunt Morgan Medal. In 2003, he was awarded the Barbara Bowman Award from the Texas Genetics Society. He was awarded an honorary doctoral degree from Miyazaki University in Japan in 2002 and, in that same year, he received the International Prize for Biology from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. He received a certificate of award from the Institute for Scientific Information as a "Highly Cited Researcher" in 2000, and the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution established the Masatoshi Nei Annual Lecture in his honor in that same year. Nei received the Kihara Prize of the Genetics Society of Japan in 1990 and the Japan Society of Human Genetics Award in 1977.
Nei has worked with many collaborators in his development of various statistical methods to determine the molecular mechanisms of biological diversity and of evolution. He has constructed a mathematical theory for studying the evolutionary relationships of different species using molecular data. A statistic named for him, Nei's genetic distance, is a cornerstone of population genetic analyses. This measure makes it possible to estimate the origins of populations and the times of their divergence from common ancestors. Nei applied this technique to human populations and obtained the first evidence pointing to the African origins of modern humans. This paper on genetic distance has been listed among the 1000 most-cited papers in all scientific fields. However, a more influential paper is about the proposal of the "neighbor-joining" method of constructing phylogenetic trees. It is one of the most highly cited papers in the entire field of biology, and the number of citations is about 33,000 times by now. He also developed several new evolutionary concepts such as "birth-and-death evolution of multigene families" and "mutation-driven evolution." In addition to his publications, Nei and his group have written and distributed software packages, including MEGA for molecular evolutionary genetics analysis which is the most widely used software for phylogenetic analysis at present.
Nei is the author or co-author of many influential papers and six books, and has served on numerous editorial and review boards in the United States, Japan, and Italy. He also was the cofounder and coeditor of Molecular Biology and Evolution, the leading journal in the field. His work has been recognized with election as an honorary member of the Genetics Society of Japan in 1989, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1990, and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1993. He was elected an honorary member of the Japan Society of Human Genetics in 1996, a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in 1997, an honorary member of the Japan Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics in 2000, and an honorary member of the Japan Society of Animal Genetics and Breeding in 2001.
Nei earned a bachelor's degree in genetics at the Miyazaki University of Japan in 1953, and he earned a master's degree and a doctoral degree in quantitative genetics at Kyoto University in Japan in 1955 and 1959, respectively. He was an assistant professor at Kyoto University in Japan from 1958 to 1962, a geneticist at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences in Japan from 1962 to 1969, and head of the Population Genetics Laboratory at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences in Japan from 1965 to 1969. He moved to the United States in 1969, where he held the positions of associate professor and professor at Brown University from 1969 to 1972, professor of population genetics at the University of Texas at Houston from 1972 to 1990, where he was acting director of the Center for Demographic and Population Genetics at the University of Texas at Houston from 1979 to 1980 and from 1986 to 1987. Nei joined the Penn State faculty in 1990 as distinguished professor of biology and founding director of the Institute of Molecular Evolutionary Genetics, and was named Evan Pugh Professor of Biology in 1994. He was a visiting professor of biology at Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan for three months during 2001.

Two recent volumes of cuneiform texts are resulting in headaches for CDLI. CUSAS 16 by Steven Garfinkle, Herbert Sauren and Marc Van De Mieroop comprises an edition of the Columbia University Library collection with its very welcome set of collated transliterations, but the authors unfortunately did not prepare a full text concordance for the publication, in particular of Robert Lau, Old Babylonian Temple Records (=Columbia University Oriental Studies 3; New York 1906, reprinted 1966), even though this historically interesting volume contained often detailed catalogue and transliteration content on the texts, and was the basis for their inclusion in both Manuel Molina's BDTNS and in the CDLI. Based on OTR, ABTR and two smaller publications, CDLI (as BDTNS) has 279 entries for Ur III CUL texts that must be lined up with this new publication prior to the entry of its catalogue to our own. Thus, just looking through the 1906 catalogue, OTR 42 is apparently CUSAS 16, no. 125; OTR 199 appears to be CUSAS 16, no. 121; etc., but, given the time involved in tracing catalogue data through the copies and transliterations offered in CUSAS 16, a singularly unrewarding job in the post-publication stage, it is unlikely that the work will be done. As a consequence, Lau's catalogue and annotation efforts are likely to eventually disappear from our increasingly electronic records. Only the 61 OTR tablets that included hand copies were cross-referenced in the volume, and the 1906 copies were republished together with those of the remainder of the CUL texts left in the US many years ago by the co-author H. Sauren.
It remains, moreover, a mystery what aside from collations noted in transliterations but not noted in the hand copies, the purpose can be in the (re)publication of this large set of dated hand copies, already used by B. Jagersma and R. de Maaijer to produce CUL tablet transliterations freely available through BDTNS, together with their hand copies through CDLI, and the same use of legacy hand copies has happened in a second recent volume, YOS 15. Uncollated copies by A. Goetze in this latter book will compete for specialist attention against those of the same texts that have been produced by leading specialists, for instance in the case of publications by M. Sigrist, or D. I. Owen. Fair enough; this is presumably a sort of posthumous Festschrift, or a clearing of someone's desk, but then after many decades in waiting—publication permission for a number of small collections seems also granted to Yale Press from the beyond—the accurate reporting of the physical whereabouts of the published texts, as well as cross-references of legacy research to more recent publications are the more vital. Beyond contacting collection managers to verify reported holdings, there are many resources now available to do this for those who do not have the inclination, or the files to themselves check for previous publications. In the case of collection verification, we have some cause for concern. To take one example, texts 159, 200 and 205 are reported p. 73, with acknowledgement p. x, to be at Hunter College, NY. However following a time-consuming and ultimately unsuccessful correspondence with Julio L. Hernandez-Delgado, Head, Archives & Special Collections, Hunter College Libraries, then with Stephen Kowalik, Head of Hunter's Judith and Stanley Zabar Art Library, and finally with Professors Green and Koehl of the Department of Classical and Oriental Studies, I have given up the chase after these three tablets that are in clear need of collation and imaging. Who then did the editors of YOS 15 speak to at Hunter about these texts? Or is there another Hunter College in New York State that we are not aware of? Of course this need not be the failing of the editors of disparate cuneiform collections, where particularly in colleges and their various libraries such unusual artifact collections can be difficult to find. But to avoid potential problems in locating a published artifact is precisely why catalogues need to be meticulous—and open to inspection and corrections by experts—and where tablets from legacy work can no longer be found at the time of publication, this fact should be noted, sparing others from wasting their own time in the search. In the case of referencing earlier editions of texts published in the volume, no one has withheld relevant resources from the editors of YOS 15, which would have constituted the only justification I can see for the unprofessional bibliographical work that went in to it, if justification were sought. If a text is reported to be in a Saint Louis collection, then simply search for Saint Louis in one of the online catalogues, and check what you find against texts you propose to publish; these are after all not British Museum numbers of texts. Where hand copies or photos of tablets without further bibliographical data are prepared for publication, it is, similarly, a quick matter for the Assyriologist to simply check some section of the texts' transliterations against those offered online. You need not even be a registered user of BDTNS to search for the combination "ca3-gal cidim-e-ne" (using that site's "c" for "š") in line 2 of YOS 15, 206, where the user will see that this text is entered as D. I. Owen, MVN 15, 107. Collaborators of research efforts to gather and make available primary cuneiform sources for cuneiform studies, for related disciplines and for the global community of informal learners are, unfortunately and unnecessarily, stymied by this lack of publication care, leaving us to do the work of others in cleaning up defective or incomplete catalogues; outsiders like ourselves, however, must work without access to internal resources, for instance the letters and notes of Goetze, that will have been available to those participating in a collective publication.
CUSAS 16's failings will not be repaired in the near future, if ever, but some of those of YOS 15 can be removed, at least for texts from epigraphic periods marked by online collaborations, that is, now nearly all periods of the late 4th and of the 3rd millennium BC, but, with the exception of the Old Assyrian corpus now in CDLI, the Hittite texts in the Hethitologie Portal Mainz and growing data sets in the Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus, relatively little from later periods. We of course cannot include in these resources those internal files held back from public view, but apparently not consulted in this publication by Yale editorial staff. One might wonder why even Yale's own catalogue publication of 21 of the YOS 15 entries in CBCY 2 and 4 was not cross-referenced in the concordances, where in the 1990's Yale curators expended some effort in compiling, with public funding, a full electronic catalogue of their holdings that is being exported and published piecemeal in paper volumes, however with the full electronic catalogue itself jealously guarded from public access among others under the claim that it constitutes Yale University intellectual property. Below is a list of those entries to YOS 15 that were available for research prior to its appearance, including some 60 texts noted by the editors, above all 33 from the former collection of the Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School, Rochester, New York, published in more reliable form by M. Sigrist in 1991, and sold at auction in 2003; with the kind collaboration of M. Molina, I was able to identify, using online tools available to anyone, anywhere, two dozen more texts as having already been published, or distributed through persistent online websites. Where photos and catalogue data of otherwise unpublished texts are freely available online, and, as we at CDLI have tried to make abundantly clear, permanently archived, they should be noted somewhere in text editions that they silently support; such references are set here in brackets. With my own, and the limited current online coverage of 2nd and 1st millennium texts, I cannot speak to the accuracy of their respective catalogue entries in YOS 15.

Inventages: Living Up to Our Expectations as a Strategic Parnter
Fund: Inventages Venture Capital Investments
Posted by Eric Schnell - Steaz on 2008-11-18
The honeymoon after closing our deal in April 08 is over and we have made it through 3 successful BOD meetings already. I am happy to report that everything we had believed we'd be gaining in terms of global beverage smarts, big picture thinking on how to best market and position our brand for a future exit as well as connecting us with large retail and distribution opportunities have all proven to be right on track with early bets we made on our new equity partners.
Erich Sieber was our main point of contact throughout the initial process of vetting the deal, due diligence and negotiations of our agreement and I have to say it was a much smoother and friendlier processs than I had anticipated with an investment group half way around the world from us. We were able to close the deal, start to finish, in just under 4 months. That was the time frame we needed them to commit to get the deal done and Erich kept his side on track the entire time to meet our need of closing prior to beverage season. Due in part to how well we worked together during these months, and the fact that Erich comes with a ton of relevant experience working in the global beverage sector, I was very happy to find he'd ultimately be on our BOD. For myself and my team "chemistry" is everything with anyone we choose to work closely with.
Gunnar and Wolfgang took an active interest in our brand from day one too and both have lent valuable input at the BOD level as well as whenever our senior management team needs to reach out and gain their perspective on some of the bigger decisions we are challenged with. Gunnar is particularly insightful on the strategy and marketing side of our business and Wolfgang has some of the best financial experience under his belt we have ever come across in the business world. As a mid size beverage brand focused mainly on marketing and distribution for 5 years, our "finance department" was one area we needed to get better structure around immediatelly!
Our goal with going the VC/PE route for this round of funding was truly steeped in finding the right type of strategic partners that would add ultimate "value" to our business, not just money. Between the 3 teamates we gained at Inventages, combined with my existing BOD and senior management, we feel we have just the right team now to help us build the next great global beverage brand.PRIVATE: Members Only (305 Characters)

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
Located just 50 yards up from the Manhattan Beach Pier with the best views in the South Bay, the Shellback Tavern started life in 1955 as a bait-and-tackle shop where you could also pick up a couple of six-packs. Still housed in the original concrete-sided box, it is the last of the no-shoes, no-shirt, no-problem bars that once dominated Los Angeles' coastal strip. Owner Bob Beverly defiantly revels in its "beach trash" image, which offends the MB establishment but draws huge crowds of rowdy revelers every weekend night. Surrounded by upscale glitz-and-glamour restaurants and clubs that have come to define Manhattan Beach over the last decade, the Shellback stands out like a sore thumb with its dollar-a-shot tequila specials and $10 steak-and-a-beer deals. Sure, the floor often stinks of spilled beer. But you can get fajitas at 8 in the morning and could easily find yourself sitting next to an action sports star — supersurfer Kelly Slater, skateboarding sensation Ryan Sheckler or volleyball legend Karch Kiraly. Matrimonial bonus: Several Shellback regulars have ended up marrying one of the hot waitresses who keep the alcohol flowing. 116 Manhattan Beach Blvd., Manhattan Beach. (310) 376-7857, shellbacktavern.com.

Skinny's Lounge is everything you'd want in a NoHo nightspot — equal parts cool, slick, comfortable and dark, like, say, a Hollywood bar/lounge, except, being over the hill, just a bit more laid-back. There's comfortably plush seating; dark, earthy, off-reddish tones in the décor; and an interesting L-shaped configuration with an ample curved bar and an outstanding, classic-lounge-y recessed and curtained stage area where live acts include Metalachi (heavy metal/mariachi fusion), Polesque (artistic pole-dancing revue) and Lookin' for Trouble (classic blues). The dance floor gets pumpin', especially on weekend DJ nights, when dance-oriented disc spinners take over, and midweek nights have witnessed live rock & roll karaoke, with a crack cover band accompanying daring would-be lead vocalists. Drinks are praised and reasonably priced, special group reservations (parties/events) are welcome, and food trucks often park outside. Oh, and they feature "reverse happy hours" with $2 off drinks from midnight until close! 4923 Lankershim Blvd., N. Hlywd. (818) 763-6581, skinnyslounge.com.

Old-school piano bar The Other Side is hidden behind the cozy Flying Leap Cafe in the heart of Silver Lake, but the vibe inside is worlds away from most of the newish attractions in the neighborhood. Aside from dirt-cheap drinks and charmingly cheesy decor (think red-white-and-blue streamers for Independence Day), the Other Side's primary selling point is its talent. Each night of the week is hosted by a different singer/pianist with a distinct character. (My favorites are Tuesday's Lori Donato, an Elaine Stritch type who will order you to turn off your cellphone, and the Broadway-tastic John Randall, who's frequently joined by Judy Garland impersonator Peter Mack.) The place caters mostly to an older, gay male clientele, but occasionally you see a straight couple or two canoodling at the bar or lushly making requests at the piano. It's an ideal spot for a straight gal to take a would-be paramour on an early date: It's the perfect testing ground to gauge a dude's sense of adventure. And if it turns out he can't handle it, you know you can keep going back to the Other Side without running into him. 2538 Hyperion Ave., Silver Lake.

I am fundamentally allergic to sports bars. I am also a diehard, obsessive Dodgers fan (this past season, the ongoing McCourt bankruptcy drama only made following the day-to-day game play more exciting — it was like a dysfunctional family epic in 162 three-hour parts). It can be hard enough to find a place to watch a Dodger game amid an owner boycott in Lakers-dominated Los Angeles; it's harder still when you're trying to avoid the blaring, brightly lit domains of white-capped frat boys. That's why I love Snake Pit Ale House on Melrose. With a couple of plasma TVs in addition to a wall-sized projection screen usually given over to the night's biggest game, you're almost guaranteed to be able to see your game of choice, in an environment that's both divey and homey, with 20 beers on tap and a decent jukebox. It's the closest thing to a San Francisco Mission Street bar that I've found in L.A., the place you go when you're into craft beers and Black Flag, but also — secretly or not so secretly — some brand of sports geek. 7529 Melrose Ave., Fairfax District. (323) 653-2011, snakepitalehouse.com.

Rosewood Tavern, a newish gastropub specializing in steak, beer and whiskey, is a much-needed addition to the Fairfax District strip. Finally, there's a place for locals to drink grown-up drinks that isn't the oft-douchey dance bar the Dime; finally, there's a place to get a real meal before or after a show at Cinefamily that isn't Canter's. But Rosewood Tavern also is something unusual in L.A.: It's a bar you can go to in the afternoon to read. With its classy and soothing dark-wood interior, happy hour specials and beautiful, sun-filled front corner window seat, it's the ideal place for wasting an afternoon away, in a literary way. 448 N. Fairfax Ave., Fairfax District. (323) 944 0980, rosewoodtavern.com.

So you've got friends or relatives coming in from out of town, and you want to swiftly disabuse them of the notion that Los Angeles is all swimming pools, movie stars and whatever other bullshit they've seen on Entourage. You need to take them to the Tattle Tale Room. Close enough to the airport that it can be a visitor's first stop right after you pick them up at LAX, this outer Culver City dive bar's raucous, chiefly working-class and frankly moderately sketchy crowd is a testament that our city contains multitudes. After a couple of rounds of heavily soused karaoke, your guests likely won't remember their own names, let alone the names of the hot spots they saw on The Hills. 5401 Sepulveda Blvd., Culver City.

Some people are lucky enough to be able to leave work at 5 and catch that glorious window of time known as happy hour. For the rest of us, however, the Falls Lounge's schedule is more accommodating, with a later happy hour that runs from 6 to 9 p.m. It's a cozy yet cool spot bearing comfy couches lining the wall, and it's big enough to accommodate your whole crew. As for the crowd, it tends to transition from business-casual to casual-club as early evening turns to night, which means you'll probably fit right in no matter how you're dressed. Topping it all off, beloved old-school hip-hop radio station KDAY is in the house every Thursday night, with DJ Prophet spinning smoothed-out joints and jams that will melt even the most reluctant dancer's resolve. Though it's located on the trendy stretch of Spring Street, somehow there's almost always decent parking. With no cover, there's no way you can go wrong. 626 S. Spring St., dwntwn. (213) 612-0072, thefallslounge.com.

For sure, Bar Marmont features plenty of wannabe and real-life starlets draped in haute-hippie couture most nights of the week. Sundays, however, tend to be sparsely populated and low-key. Could it be because the Sunday night special is buttermilk fried chicken with all the fixins? You know that's not in the diets of the typical waify crews, and besides, you can't be too fancy when you're eating with your fingers. Ask for extra napkins, however, because when DJ Rashida — Prince's tour DJ and one of the most overlooked spinstresses in the city — throws on her mix of funk, soul and house, you'll want to put your hands on someone on the dance floor. Whether you're seated in the cabana-like front entrance or the red-lit, Old Hollywood–reminiscent main room, a carefree air and nonchalant attitude prevail. It's your chance to live the glamorous life while avoiding typically snooty Sunset Strip stares. 8171 W. Sunset Blvd., Hlywd. (323) 650-0575, chateaumarmont.com/barmarmont.php.

Downtown L.A. is slowly becoming the hippest address in the city, but a few grimy spots remain. Not far from the flashing lights of the Staples Center and the prefab L.A. Live, Hank's Bar offers a pleasantly divey respite. Keep in mind, however, that Hank's is not fancy, and there's no lingering. In fact, at 1:59 a.m. sharp the bartender will pull your drink out of your hand, dump it into a red SOLO cup and send you out into the night. But Hank's also has a jukebox with an excellent hip-hop selection — everyone from A Tribe Called Quest to Snoop Dogg — and usually it's just sitting idle, waiting for you and your dollar bills. Sure, the gruff, burly men at the bar might act like they don't want to hear any rap music, but once the strains of Dr. Dre's "Xxplosive" come on, they'll be buying your next one. 840 S. Grand Ave., dwntwn. (213) 623-7718.

Soccer fans have passed the point where they need to defend themselves to know-nothing blowhards like Bill Plaschke. Thanks to Phil Anschutz and the miracle of satellite TV, fans in L.A. are pretty well set up. The only nagging problem is the eight-hour time difference between the U.K. and the West Coast, which means English Premier League games kick off at the crack of dawn. What to do? Head over to Lucky Baldwin's. Have a beer and an English breakfast and yell and scream. This is so obvious by now that even Plaschke has figured it out. But that's OK. He's welcome, as long as he doesn't say anything. The common complaint is that Lucky Baldwin's doesn't show much respect for American soccer — either MLS or the U.S. National Team. For that, try Alpine Village in Torrance or Ye Olde King's Head in Santa Monica. 1770 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena. (626) 795-0652, luckybaldwins.com.

"Discos don't open till after dark/And it ain't till 12 till the party really starts," goes the Whodini song, and indeed it's fair to say that at Freak City the partying goes until very late. A combination retail and underground-events space in the heart of Hollywood, the spot is decorated by enough spray-can art, old vinyl and chain-link fencing to recall the glory days of Yo! MTV Raps. It hosts wild ragers that put House Party to shame, which is ironic because the fashions are right out of that film's era, both on the racks — you can purchase vintage threads and locally designed duds — and on the hipster-hop hordes who come in. (You might see fade haircuts, loud prints, gold bling and even foxy fly-girl accessories.) The events range from the disco/house/rap party Studio 84 to the popular Swap Meet, where buying and boogie-ing converge after dark. Enter through the back alley. 6363 Hollywood Blvd., Hlywd.; (213) 446-5413, freakcity.la.

Monday isn't typically the town's most happening night, but it does have the town's most happening karaoke. Ground Control at Jewel's Catch One has a devoted cult following that feels like a family. Everyone's rooting for you, and if you screw up the words or can't carry a tune, often you'll get some good-natured help from the crowd. But what really makes it special is the unique and alterna-heavy playlist: Try finding selections from Groucho Marx, Frank Zappa, My Life With the Thrill Kill Cult or Sham 69 in Koreatown. And if you can't find that special tune you're just dying to croon, MP3J Sark, who put in years deejaying at Goth and industrial clubs, encourages members of the Ground Control family to order karaoke tracks online and bring them to the club. Likely that won't be necessary, though, as there's plenty here to keep you entertained. Aside from the basics — Madonna, Neil Diamond, Radiohead, Van Halen, etc. — you can re-enact Tarantino scenes to Stealers Wheel, romance your sweetie with Tenacious D's "Fuck Her Gently," or get your goof on with selections from Weird Al, Spamalot or South Park. Chocolate Salty Balls, anyone? 4067 W. Pico Blvd., Mid-City. (323) 734 8849, catchonenightclub.com.

This sermon series includes the following messages:

The following is an excerpt from The MacArthur New Testament Commentary on Matthew 18.
See that you do not despise one of these little ones for I say to you, that their angels in heaven continually behold the face of My Father who is in heaven. (18:10)
The expression I say to you is emphatic, pointing up the importance of what the Lord is about to say The idea is, "With all My authority I solemnly affirm to you." He then gives the first compelling reason Christians should never despise other Christians: their relation to their angels in heaven.
The writer of Hebrews explains that the holy, elect angels are "all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation" (Heb. 1:14). Their purpose is to serve God by attending to the care of His people. These angels in heaven live in the very presence of God, where they wait attentively for His commands to serve the people of His love. "They continually behold the face of My Father who is in heaven," Jesus said. The implication is that the holy angels never take their eyes off God, lest they miss some direction from Him regarding a task they are to perform on behalf of a believer.
Neither of these texts, however-nor any other Scripture-teaches the idea of an individual guardian angel for every believer, as Jewish tradition in Jesus' day taught and as many people still believe and teach. When Peter knocked at the door of Mary's house after he was miraculously released from prison, a servant girl named Rhoda answered. Upon seeing Peter she was so overjoyed she forgot to open the gate. When she reported his presence to the believers gathered inside, it was probably the notion of individual guardian angels that was behind their insistence that she had only seen "Peter's angel" (Acts 12:12–15). But that superstitious belief is merely reflected in this text; it is neither taught nor substantiated here or anywhere else in Scripture.
In Matthew 18:10 Jesus speaks of believers and their angels in a collective sense. These angels, whether a distinct group or the whole body of holy angels, are responsible for the care of God's little ones, those who believe in His Son (v. 6). It is in part because of these angels who live in the presence of the Father who is in heaven that believers are warned not to despise one another.
The fact that Almighty God is so concerned about the care of His beloved children that He has hosts of angels in His presence ready to be dispatched to their aid demonstrates dearly how valuable believers are and how unthinkably wicked it is to look with disdain on someone whom God so highly prizes.
As indicated by brackets in the nasb text, verse 11 (For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost) is not found in the best early manuscripts of this gospel. The almost identical phrase, however, is in Luke 19:10, where "seek and" is added before to save. Because there is no question about the authenticity of the Luke text, there is no question that Matthew 18:11 teaches a genuinely scriptural truth. The phrase was probably picked up from Luke by a well-meaning copyist and added to Matthew. But because it is not a part of Matthew's original gospel, it will not be discussed here.

Old School Jewish Deli Rye with Onions
One of my favorite ryes is the one from Inside the Jewish Bakery by Norm and Stan. I have not made it for a while but I figured it was time to try it again since I've been getting a lot of questions about it on my other blog site.
I used freshly milled rye flour in place of the white rye flour in the original recipe and I also added 25 grams of dehydrated onions which were re-hydrated by mixing with the water for the dough. I used some of my recently made rye starter at 100% hydration and compensated for the lower 80% hydration called for by adjusting the flour and water slightly.
I found the starter and the dough to be very easy to handle and the end result of the bake was probably one of the best ryes I have made to date. The crumb was nice and moist and the onion flavor was just enough to make this the perfect bread for a hot pastrami sandwich with melted Munster Cheese.
If you have not tried this one, you don't know what you are missing! There is no comparison between this rye bread and the sorry excuse they sell in the supermarket.

Supermarket chains recall ground beef over E. coli risk
Supermarket chains Winn-Dixie and Bi-Lo are recalling some ground beef because of the risk that the meat has been contaminated with E. coli.
The chains announced the recall Thursday as part of a larger ground beef recall issued by the National Beef Packing Company.
E. coli can cause diarrhea, dehydration and potentially kidney failure.
Winn-Dixie is immediately recalling the affected Fresh 93 Percent Lean Ground Beef from all stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. The product was shipped to stores around July 18.
Bi-Lo is recalling the same product from its shelves in all stores in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
Neither has received reports of any related illnesses.
Consumers can bring the product to the store for a refund.

I don't know. I just don't think fair trade is very fair. A group of do-gooders picks some set of vendors who they think are being treated unfairly, and set out to treat them preferentially. How can this be fair, when some are treated better than others?
What is "fair", anyway? Let's look at the dictionary definitions. Do the people who want fair trade mean "marked by impartiality and honesty : free from self-interest, prejudice, or favoritism--a very fair person to do business with"? Probably not, since they specifically play favorites. Do they mean "conforming with the established rules : ALLOWED"? Probably not that either, since they seek to change the established rules. I think they mean this one: "consonant with merit or importance : DUE -- a fair share".
Using this definition -- a fair share -- doesn't help us much. Everybody wants the world to be fair, but nobody can particularly agree on exactly what is fair. Earlier, I wrote about price gouging. Everyone might say that price gouging is unfair, but everyone is wrong because they don't understand economics. They don't think, they just react. They notice that prices have gone up, assume the seller is getting an unfair profit, and run with it. Instead, they need to look at the existing situation. The seller is in possession of something suddenly more valuable. Why should "price gouging" be limited? Why should the buyer receive all the benefit of the increased value? Why does the buyer have merit and the seller not?
Fairness, then, is in the eye of the beholder. The more you think about fairness, the more complicated the issue gets. If you only help some, is that fair to the others? If you only help the seller and not the buyer, is that fair? If you favor the buyer over the seller, is that fair?
I don't mean to say that people should only base their decisions on price. You buy things because of their value to you, not their price. Similarly, people sell things because of their value, not the price they can get. A buyer will buy when the value exceeds the price, and a seller will sell when the price exceeds the value. By definition, an unforced transaction benefits both parties. The dancer who wants the pink tutu more than money is happy, and the former who wants the money more than the pink tutu is happy. Both have something they value more. Value has been created out of nothing. That is why unforced trade, peacable trade, free trade, is so powerful a force for improving the world.
What, then, of fair trade? Surely, you would think, if free trade is good, then fair trade is better. Maybe, but only if it's not forced -- that is, if it's still free trade. If you need to use violence to create fair trade, then by definition you have to coerce someone. They have to be coerced because they perceive an absence of the condition in the previous paragraph. They don't want the money more than the thing. Even though Alice is not dancing anymore, she still wants to keep her pink tutu. Or even though Betty wants to dance, she prefers to keep her money rather than get a dorky pink tutu.
Written into our constitution is the concept of fair trade enforced by violence. I refer to eminent domain. The Fifth Amendment says that private property shall not be taken for public use without due compensation. This isn't free trade, because the owner of the private property does not want to sell. It's fair trade because they are paid an amount of money which a judge agrees is fair. There's a ton of problems with eminent domain, which I don't want to get into right now. Suffice it to say that unwilling sellers usually don't agree that the price is fair.
So how would peaceful fair trade look? If you're using the power of government to enforce fair trade, then by definition your trade isn't peaceful. In order for it to be peaceful, it must be completely voluntary. In order for fair trade to be anything other than free trade, somebody must be making a contribution. Somebody must be kiltering the market in a voluntary way. In essence, they must be paying more for something simply because they believe that transaction to be more fair.
So, then, peaceful fair trade is nothing more than a marketing term for free trade. Instead of a direct trade of A and C, you have B intervening in the trade in some manner to make it more lucrative, or to increase the value. B might be acting as a wholesaler, accepting a price lower than their cost because they perceive their loss as increasing the fairness. B might be acting as a certification body, saying that the wood comes from plantations, thereby increasing the value of the wood in C's eye, and passing on those increased profits to A.
Voluntary and peaceful fair trade can only exist by offering extra value in a free market. That kind of fair trade is, well, fair. Any other kind of "fair trade" is as evil as the violence needed to make it happen.

Piazzolla's nuevo tango was distinct from the traditional tango in its incorporation of elements of jazz, its use of extended harmonies and dissonance, its use of counterpoint, and its ventures into extended compositional forms. As Argentine psychoanalyst Carlos Kuri has pointed out, Piazzolla's fusion of tango with this wide range of other recognizable Western musical elements was so successful that it produced a new individual style transcending these influences. It is precisely this success, and individuality, that makes it hard to pin down where particular influences reside in his compositions, but some aspects are clear. The use of the passacaglia technique of a circulating bass line and harmonic sequence, invented and much used in 17th and 18th century baroque music but also central to the idea of jazz "changes", predominates in most of Piazzolla's mature compositions. Another clear reference to the baroque is the often complex and virtuosic counterpoint that sometimes follows strict fugal behavior but more often simply allows each performer in the group to assert his voice. A further technique that emphasises this sense of democracy and freedom among the musicians is improvisation, that is borrowed from jazz in concept, but in practice involves a different vocabulary of scales and rhythms that stay within the parameters of the established tango sound-world. Pablo Ziegler has been particularly responsible for developing this aspect of the style both within Piazzolla's groups and since the composer's death.

medal, Second China War Medal, medals, Military, Britain, British Army
Artist: London, mint; Date(s): 1861 - 1863; Classification(s): medal, Second China War Medal, medals, Military, Britain, British Army; Acquisition: loan by Cambridge in America, 2005 [LW.0057] Description: Increasing competition from the USA and France for Chinese trade concessions, against a background of extreme Chinese reluctance to co-operate with British trading interests after the First Opium War, led Britain to demand new trading concessions of China in 1854 to secure its `most favoured nation' status. China rejected this demand, and resentment on the ground eventually came to a boil with the seizure by Chinese authorities of a Hong Kong steamer, the Arrow, which the British claimed as a breach of their rights. In retaliation British forces seized the fort of Guangzhou (Canton), with help from US naval vessels, but were driven out of the city when its people and soldiery ignored their governor's order not to resist. Reinforcements for the British were soon sent from India, although slowly because of the concurrent First War of Indian Independence (usually known as the Indian Mutiny). Similar tensions and incidents led to France joining Britain in the war, and coalition forces once massed took Guangzhou in 1857, exiling the governor, Ye Mingshen, to India where he died of self-imposed starvation. An initial treaty was settled between France, Russia, the USA and Britain at Tientsin in 1858. This treaty had laid down that Britain and France should have access to, and ambassadors in, the closed Chinese Imperial capital of Peking (Beijing). Attempts to make good on this in 1859 were however met with resistance from the forts at Taku, at the mouth of the Hai He River, which rendered the attempt impossible. The British and French governments therefore amassed a new coalition force that arrived in China in 1860, its first objective being the capture of the Taku Forts, which was achieved. The force then pressed on to Beijing, whence the Qing Emperor was driven in October 1860, and his summer palace there burnt and looted. A treaty was reached soon afterwards which re-established a precarious peace, and British forces withdrew from Beijing to the coast. War was however to resume in 1900. The bars on this medal indicate that its recipient, Sergeant J. Westbury of the 1st Battalion, 3rd Foot, was involved in the 1860 attack on the Taku Forts. His medal was purchased by Lester Watson at some point before 1928.
Can I use it?

The Manfredonia wind farm in Apulia on the southern Adriatic coast will consist of seven Nordex N100/2500 turbines.
Work on installing the turbines is expected to commence in spring 2014.
The project is being funded by Eolsiponto, a joint venture between Spanish banking group Santander and Italian developer Alerion. The contract marks the first time that Alerion has opted for Nordex turbines.
Previously the company has bought Vestas and Repower turbines.


text: These 2 guys are distinguishing themselves at the Senior Bowl practices. Okoye is only 19 years old and thus far has been unblockable and the scouting report says he is built like a brick house. He may be available at the 15th pick. He would be a nice pickup in the 1st round! They could still pick up a quality offensive lineman in the 2nd and hopefully someone like a Tony Hunt is still available in the 3rd! I would like to see Bill Cowhers rights traded for a 1st and 2nd round draft pick this year. It could be like a Herschel Walker trade for the Steelers. 2 first rounders and 2 second rounders? You could set yourself up for the next couple of years with a draft like that! Bill Cowher, Jerry Jones and Terrell Owens.......sounds like an interesting mix! :helmet:


text: I agree with some of the others as well that Bradley is the X factor - he needs to come back healthy and ready to hit someone. The linebacker corps was very suspect without him, so it will be good to get him back on the field and 100%. Also looking forward to seeing Nate Allen starting and what he can bring to the table. Three interceptions versus Washington? Yes please.

Tech Students to Ride on NASA Plane, July 20, 2001

SOCORRO, N.M., July 20, 2001 -- Ten New Mexico Tech students will travel next month to NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston to take their team-developed experiment to never-before-achieved heights aboard the space agency's famed KC-135A aircraft--a military version of a Boeing 707 which has been affectionately dubbed by its various passengers over the years as the "Vomit Comet."
Flight plans currently are underway for four members of Tech's "Team FRACTAL" to accompany their fluid dynamics experiment aboard the airplane as it makes a series of 32 looping parabolic ascents and descents from about 34,000 feet to 25,000 feet above the Gulf of Mexico.
The steep 50-degree dives taken by the aircraft result in 25 to 30 seconds of near weightlessness, or "microgravity" conditions, for researchers as they hastily conduct their scientific experiments within the airplane's padded cargo bay.
This ultimate roller-coaster ride aboard the KC-135 also includes equally steep climbs which result in "macrogravity" conditions, subjecting passengers, experiments, and aircraft to nearly 2Gs, or twice the pull of the Earth's gravity.
The increased gravity on the ascents and the reduced gravity on the descents often affect even the strongest stomachs, causing a high-altitude version of motion sickness and earning the Vomit Comet its moniker.
New Mexico Tech's Team FRACTAL (an acronym which stands for "Fractal Response and Character of Turbulence at Low Gs") will explore the effects of reduced gravity, as well as increased
gravity, on the fractal characteristics of buoyancy driven turbulent flow--a well-known phenomenon which occurs in various natural systems, such as weather formation in the Earth's atmosphere, the circulation and mixing of ocean waters, and air circulation in buildings.
Fractals, in and of themselves, are geometrical figures that can be subdivided into smaller and smaller parts, each of which is a reduced-size copy of the whole.
The experiment devised by the New Mexico Tech students will involve immersing a heating element in a narrow tank of water and heating up the water until a convective heat flow becomes turbulent enough to allow illumination from a nearby light to project the pattern of convection onto a screen located on the other side of the tank. The varying patterns of convection being projected onto the screen are then observed and recorded by a digital camera and downloaded to a laptop computer.
In addition to designing and implementing the fluid dynamics experiment, Team FRACTAL members also developed their own software to analyze and evaluate the fractal nature of the observed turbulence.
NASA has scheduled New Mexico Tech's Team FRACTAL to conduct its experiment aboard the KC-135 on two separate flights, both of which will take place during one of this summer's four sessions of the space agency's ongoing Reduced Gravity Flight Opportunities Program. Team FRACTAL will participate in the session which begins on August 9.

Hunter Mahan stood on the 18th tee, the 72nd hole of the 2012 Shell Houston Open, and probably knew he was one good drive from winning his 5th PGA Tour event. The final pairing, the t.v. cameras and fans all watching, other players waiting to see what he did - can you imagine what was going through his mind?
I can. The same thing that had probably been going through his mind the previous 71 holes.
What? Yes, to Hunter Mahan, this was probably just another drive to hit.
Have you ever wondered why you can stripe it so well on the range and then come apart on the golf course? Or how you might have record round going for 14 or 15 holes and collapse late?
The difference is actually simple. Process-oriented golf is what we are most comfortable with. We pick a target, we go through a pre-shot routine, we do our pre-swing checks and we pull the trigger. Results-oriented golf is a different story. We think about consequences to bad shots, we focus on the trouble on the course, we get tense and we no longer act, we react.
When I think of classic examples of the two, I think of last year's Masters. For three days, Rory McIlroy was playing process-oriented golf - and it was stunning. On the last day, as he chased his first major, he started to think results. We all know what happened. But he learned to stay in the moment, and then at the U.S. Open, even with a big lead on the final day, he remained process-oriented and pulled away even more.
This week's "A Lesson Learned" is quite simple - focus on the process. Your tee shot on the 18th hole is actually no more important than the tee shot on the 1st hole, other than you won't have time to make up for a bad score later. The physics of the golf swing and ball flight will hold true just the same. As I tell students, a ten foot putt is a ten foot putt, no matter when you have to make it.
I got home in time to see the end of the LPGA's Kraft Nabisco Championship as well. I.K. Kim missed a 1-foot putt to win in regulation. A one-foot putt. She probably makes that putt 999 times out of a thousand except for this one time, think she was thinking of winning her first major? And of course, she ended up losing in a playoff.
So anyways, back to Hunter. Despite t.v. announcers and probably fans and other players doubting his selection, Hunter did what he always does on that hole. He hit the driver, he hit it perfect and a few minutes later, he was collecting one of those oversized checks.
The next time you are in a dramatic or intense situation - don't think of the pressure involved or what might be at stake - get back to what you know you can do. Deep breath, go through your routine and remember, the ball doesn't know what's at stake. It will go where the process takes it.

In addition to screening an array of features, documentaries, and shorts about women and leadership, the fourth annual Athena Film Festival included two special events that focused on Barnard alumnae. The first was the panel Barnard in the Biz, moderated by Dean Avis Hinkson '84. It featured a current student and two alumnae, all of whom work in the entertainment industry. Each woman represented a different aspect of the business. Naomi Foner '66 is an Academy Award–nominated screenwriter who recently added the title "director" to her résumé. She is also the mother of internationally renowned actors Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Nancy Gates '89 marks her 18th year as an agent at United Talent Agency, with a client list that includes Patrick Dempsey, Elizabeth Hurley, Liv Tyler, Lake Bell, Michael J. Fox, Minnie Driver, and Brooke Shields. After acting professionally in her hometown of St. Louis, Ariane Rinehart '15 made her television debut last fall as Liesl in NBC's live telecast of The Sound of Music.
The three shared stories of resilience, perseverance, and determination. Foner described the making of Running on Empty, her 1988 film about an activist couple on the run, for which she received a Golden Globe Award for best original screenplay. After she submitted her script, the studio requested a rewrite inconsistent with her vision for the film. "It was directly contrary to everything I was trying to say," Foner explained. "It was antithetical to why I wrote the film. It was the first time I said 'no,' and I was fired. I was a little heartbroken because this was a script that I cared enormously about, with a subject I cared enormously about, and really wanted to see happen."
Months later she received a call to meet with Sidney Lumet, who had a deal with the studio that enabled him to read all scripts that had been submitted. He also had the go-ahead to make several pictures exactly as he envisioned them, as long as he stayed within budget. "We made the movie," said Foner. "About a year and a half later...I met the executive who had fired me in a shoe store. He had just been fired and I had just been nominated for an Academy Award. I realized it's extremely important to follow your creative and personal instinct."
Rinehart said being a young actress requires carefully balancing optimism with realism. It is important to have a good support system and people who believe in you. "It's about trying not to be too optimistic and trying not to be too hard on myself," she said. "I'm so happy that I'm at Barnard seeing a lot of intelligent women going out into the industry making intelligent choices." Being a full-time student keeps her engaged in intellectual pursuits, so that the highs and lows of acting don't become all consuming.
Gates made the point that women have to become better at supporting one another. "[Men] are good at advocating for themselves," Gates said. "They're good at networking among themselves in an organic way. Women, I'd like to see that more.
"I don't have the answer," she added. "To be honest with you, at the end of the day I'd rather go home to see my kid and my husband than go to a Lakers or a Knicks game."
Foner also discussed what she considers the power of film and television to change people's perspectives. "If you can tell someone a story about a particular, very specific human being and you can make somebody feel something about that human being and the situation they're in, [the audience] will inevitably think about it," Foner said. "You can reach so many people through film, television, and the Internet that it's actually a political action if you think of it that way."
Both Foner and Gates talked about the pull between motherhood and career. Gates said that just that morning, her daughter and her husband had both asked whether she'd be home that evening. Work demands sometimes keep her away. Having only one child was a conscious decision: she wanted to give her daughter as much time as possible.
Foner suggested women should stop looking at their careers as now or never. Young children can take priority, but eventually they will leave the nest and there will be time to refocus on a career. "Being with children when they're a certain age is really urgent and important," said Foner. "I often pursued my career in order to be there for my kids when they came home from school. What I didn't know when I was doing that was that I would have this huge, wide part of my life [when] I wasn't with my kids, and I could do all these things without any kind of feeling of being torn to pieces," she added. "There are ages of your life. You can make choices based on knowing that they're coming."
Following the panel was the screening of the film American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs. Boggs '35, now 98, attended the screening and spoke before the film was shown and answered audience questions after. The film, which poses as many questions as it answers, captures her life as a writer, activist, and philosopher and explores her connection to the civil rights movement through historic footage and interviews shot over a 10-year period by the filmmaker, who is also named Grace Lee.
"My mother did not know how to read and write because she was born in a little Chinese village where there were no schools for females," said Boggs. "My father owned a restaurant. I was born on top of the restaurant. When I cried, the waiter said, 'Leave her on the hillside to die because she's only a girl baby.'" She added, "I think it's important to say these things because one of the reasons why I work for change is because I was born female."
Boggs said when she was at Barnard, she was one of only four students of color. Barnard and the world have changed greatly since then, which is both exhilarating and scary. "When one race, which has dominated, feels that it's lost its supremacy, it feels endangered," she said. "A lot of things are happening in this country now I think that people do not realize are dangerous."
Boggs, who earned a PhD in 1940, recently completed her fifth book, The Next American Revolution: Sustainable Activism for the Twenty-First Century, in which she discusses the emergence of urban gardens and farms, and how they not only provide sustenance but also reconnect communities.
When asked how activists can avoid burnout, Boggs, who has lived in Detroit for 60 years, said people have to realize they are part of transformation. She also noted that she chose not to have children because she did not see how she could balance motherhood with the civil rights work to which she was committed. "If you have a sense of history, it will give you strength, give you power, grow your souls," she said. "We have the opportunity to grow our souls. Not as a thing, but as a capacity to create the world anew. That's the time in which we're living. If you have that sense of history, you realize that we can grow."
