2 documentaries seen in the last 24 hours: "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired" and "Standard Operating Procedure."
"Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired." This is Marina Zenovich's nicely put together documentary about Roman Polanski's immense legal problem. Watching this was a very weird experience, because it's quite apparent that child rape was just not taken very seriously back in the 1970s. I was ready to cut Polanski a lot of slack because he survived the Holocaust and his wife and unborn son were slaughtered by the Manson family, but he has admitted to drugging a 13-year-old and having sexual intercourse with her. And he never really seemed to think he did much of anything wrong — as if he shouldn't have had to serve any prison time.
Much is made of the "media circus" surrounding the legal proceedings. We see footage of lots of guys with cameras crowding around trying to photograph him when he's trying to get in and out of the courtroom. (I thought: Big deal. Quit complaining.) And the main target of contempt is the judge, who's dead now and not able to respond to the charge that he sought the spotlight, played to the cameras, and abused his power. But there are interviews with the victim and the prosecutor (as well as the defense attorney), and neither of them is calling for Polanski's blood.
So it's a rather subtle inquiry into the legal process — and into the soul of a man who did something evil but is also a great artist and suffered beyond comprehension in his life. The vintage footage of him with the spectacularly beautiful Sharon Tate and crazed with pain after her death is heartrending. And the clips from "Chinatown," "Rosemary's Baby," and other films are very cleverly used to illustrate aspects of Polanski's legal struggles.
"Standard Operating Procedure." This is the Errol Morris documentary about the prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib. I adore Errol Morris and have watched some of his documentaries multiple times, but this is not Morris at his best. The movie forces you to stare for many long minutes at giant talking heads, a technique used brilliantly in some of his very best movies: "Mr. Death," "Fog of War," and (one of my favorite movies of all time) "Fast, Cheap and Out of Control." The difference with "Standard Operating Procedure" is that the individuals are not at all fascinating people. They are dull and empty — with revoltingly flat affect.
But they have a story to tell. That is, they are witnesses. But they have been convicted of crimes, so they have the motive to lie, slant, and self-justify. It's like a close up on the direct examination of witnesses at trial — and no cross-examination! I wanted cross-examination. I had the impression that Morris wanted us to see that they were made to take the fall after the infamous photographs became public, but I found them repellent and unbelievable.
There is a lot of good material about how photographs tell an incomplete story. (And you see many, many uncensored Abu Ghraib photographs.) So perhaps Morris also meant to say: And the eyewitnesses also tell an incomplete story. Too damned bad if you are unsatisfied, because, like a photographer framing a shot, the government blocked our view of the whole story.
Morris teaches his lesson, and the viewer is subjected to a truly ugly ordeal. (There are occasional touches of beauty in the short, vivid recreations.) But if you were circumspect enough to attend this movie in the first place, you will probably feel that you have no right to complain about it, given the suffering depicted in the movie. That may be why the movie is leaving town — leaving Madison, Wisconsin — after a short run and why I was one of only 3 people in the audience.

That's what Ian Hacking wrote in the 90s. Child abuse as a phenomenon was discovered in the 60s meaning beatings, and it became child sexual abuse in the 70s.
(Any university library has the Critical Inquiry issue in question.)

Thank God Polanski isn't pro-life, for then he'd be crucified by this filmmaker and the rest of Hollywood for being really evil.
- rhhardin said...
All men like 'em young.
I don't think that's true.
Half your age plus seven years is supposed to be the rule for what gets your eye, and seems about right, at least if you're old enough so that seven isn't a big part of your age.

It is if they're made in the image of God--Mary is believed to have been about 13-15 when Jesus was born.

Don't feel too superior. In 50 years they'll say the same about us, since by then the age of consent will have been raised to about 35.

The problems with this is we still don't take underaged sex seriously, unless a particularly unfortunate local or celebrity is targeted by the girl's family or a vengeful prosecutor to allow society to "showcase" their huffy moral outrage.
Half of inner city girls 13 are no longer virgins and a significant fraction of white and Hispanic girls aged 13 to 16 have had sex - just like Polanski's "conquest" was a sexually active young girl before he met her.
The point being that society doesn't care much for the millions of pederast incidents involving willing young teens and willing young teens and the home boy adults or hot athletes and film directors.
People can vent about the need to throw millions behind bars for tapping these willing young minks, but we really don't want to. For the family, for the courts - it is more trouble than it is worth. For the girls? Polanski's young tryster said it was the legal system and the threats made against her by prosecutors to compell testimony that nearly destroyed her - not the tryst with Polanski, one of many she had had at that point...
The truth is, society reserves - sensibly - it's heavy ammo and finite legal resources for Real Child molestors - namely those done on prepubescent children 12 and under and on REAL rape by violence or coercion of victim teens. We generally don't even go after the adult fathers of unwed teens - and that is one area we should focus on (because of the immense damage to society and fiscal cost to taxpayers of unwed teens and their children) before trying to send millions of statutory rape cases to trial.
As for Polanski himself, judging from his standing ovation at the Oscars and his early selection to the French Academy of Arts - the general belief is Polanski was wrecked after his wife was butchered, did a pile of reckless & self-destructive things...got in legal trouble for one of them. Then stood up and took American justice like a man, served 90 days in jail. And only when the court reneged on it's plea bargain because powerful religious and media elements wanted to burn Polanski as an example(by testimony of both his lawyers and the Prosecutor the judge was ready to betray the deal) - did he flee American justice.
Abu Ghraib? With the complete collapse of the "Haditha Atrocity" and several cases of individual soldiers hyped as "savge murderers" and the Scott Thomas Beauchamp fabrications - it is clear the American media opposed to the war served the cause of the enemy. By creating anti-American propaganda to help force an end to the war by inciting restistance to the military by both helping recruit Jihadis and turn the American public against the "stupid, sadistic louts from 'bitter' sections of the country, who were forced into uniform by poor economic prospects".
The 200 Front page articles on the "horrors" of the atrocities in the NYTimes and Abu Ghraib nightly on MSM news for 6 months were not based on newsworthiness - but media committing political atonement to the Left and the wealthy Owners - after initially being for the regime change since Clinton 1st argued it should be formal US policy. Atonement would be complete and honor restored if the NY Times and others contributed to the defeat the Left claimed Bush morally deserved. And the hundreds of US soldiers killed by radicals inflamed to a killing rage Jihad from all the publicity the US gave it was a small price to pay for that personal atonement in the media.
History will show that the US forces behaved better in Iraq than any army ever fielded facing an insurgency where enemy blends with civilians - many who support the killers. Abu Ghraib will then be objectively seen as an abherration - localized to one small unit of poorly trained reservists poorly monitored and supervised by 3 levels of half-assed officers in their command. Only made BIG because the liberal US media and the Hard Left used it as a global tool to slime the USA and it's soldiers collectively.

"Krenwinkel repeatedly stabbed the dead Leno LaBianca and left a carving fork embedded in his abdomen and a small steak knife protruding from his neck. In an interview, Krenwinkel admitted to stabbing Mr. LaBianca with the fork and leaving it in his abdomen. Both utensils were taken from the LaBiancas' kitchen. Krenwinkel then wrote "DEATH TO PIGS" in blood on the wall, and "HeaLter SkeLTter" [sic] on the refrigerator. When later questioned, Krenwinkel claimed that the only thing going through her mind at the time was that "now he won't be sending any of his children off to war."
- AJ Lynch said...
I remember when I was open-minded and would go to see a documentary believeing it would be balanced and accurate.
Now I feel like Karnac cause I can guess beforehand what it will portray.
- gophermomeh said...
AJ - my husband's been doing that for years - at times we treat it like a parlor game.
"Morris teaches his lesson..."
That seems to have become the raison d'être of most so-called documentaries, though "propaganda points" might be more accurate than "lesson" judging by the products of scum such as Michael Moore.
I'm glad the audience was tiny. The subject is tired and its significance was a product of liberal media hype. Good riddance.
- holdfast said...
This may be the first time I've ever seen a Cedarford entry without the word "Jew", used in a perjorative sense. Anyway, his take on Abu Ghraib is pretty much correct - the media only "broke" the big story well after the Army had begun a proper investigation. There were certainly transgressions, but there was no official coverup or even an attempt at one.
The media was desperate to use Abu Ghraib as a weapon against Bush and Rummy, and to somehow connect it to Gitmo and torture. In pursuing that angle, they entered into an unholy alliance with the flag officer (that means an Admiral, or in this case a General) most responsible for the lapses and failed leadership that led to the problems, since the general in question was a woman and was willing to go along with the anti-Bush BS in an attempt to save her slimy skin and [reduced] pension.

Last year's documentary about the Apollo astronauts was outstanding— In the Shadow of the Moon. The filmmakers interviewed all the surviving men who went to the Moon, with the exception of Armstrong. All are in their 70s. They all look and sound exactly like retired guys you see waiting to get haircuts in barber shops anywhere.
"Harvest of Shame," the 1960 CBS Murrow documentary about migrant workers, will also unscrew your head, in a different way. Don't think it's available anywhere.

Either that, or they get off on Abu Ghraib porn. Perhaps both.
- TitusisgoingtoPtown said...
I am watching the Roman Polanski documentary now.
I was born in 1970 so wasn't around in the 60's but when I look at Sharon Tate, who was absolutely stunningly beautiful, I think of the 60's image of the California woman.
- TitusisgoingtoPtown said...
Interesting about the judge in the Polanski case. He loved the press and Hollywood.
The judge in the case was 54 and his first girlfriend was 20. Lawrence Rittenband-the judge.
- AJ Lynch said...
Abu Graib was not organized torture no matter what the piece of crap idiotors at the Philadelphia Inquirer have claimed many many times.
It was a bit of ersatz fraternity rituals committed by young, bitter western Pennsylvanias who never went to college where they could have committed the same rituals with the approval of the entire world.
As we have learned only recently, this type of individual clings to their religion and guns. So they ended up in Iraq as Army reservists guarding a prison. Like the college students they envied, these reservists became binge drinkers and in some cases borderline alcoholics.
I am not making this up but you did not hear this from me. Gotta go I think I hear a black helicopter hovering over my house.
NASA is a bureaucratic, directionless, moribund organization that spends a fortune on generating PR and supporting others (moviemakers and such) who provide it for them. Launches from the Cape, each of which costs a small fortune using obsolete technology (Seen any documentaries on the costs generated by NASA lately?) serve little purpose but continue to get headline coverage.
Like I said, propaganda. Maybe you can tell I'm not exactly a fan.
- Synova said...
Oh, black helicopters... that was sarcasm. Had me going for a moment.

We don't care too much about young teens having sex because we realize that a sexually mature person is a sexually mature person.
Oh, parents might care (or not) but usually sensible people realize that the "child" involved was responsible for her actions. (Drugging or getting someone drunk is another issue I think!)
We start to *care* when there is a disparity of ages and individual power... teacher and coaches... older men or women. The same things that make it wrong (illegal?) for a therapist or psychologist or various other professionals to have a sexual relationship with their clients or patients. We figure that a young teen isn't able to stand up to someone older, is likely to be particularly swayed by the idea that this adult person is interested in them in an adult way, and particularly vulnerable to the person who seeks out a very young person for sex... not because our biology is set to favor youth, but because they can control and dominate.
- AJ Lynch said...
Except for the black copters, everything I wrote is true.
Those reservists were always drunk according to some folks I knew from western PA who had the scoop.
It was really not some Runsfeld/ Cheney plot from the White House no matter how much the NY Times wished it was.
I liked the Polanski documentary.
I think a lot of people suppose that a documentary should have a sense of fairness. I don't really buy that. Documentaries with a point of view are best. It's up to you to figure out if that point of view is legitimate or not.
- Revenant said...
All men like 'em young. Roman got caught. End of story.
That's just dumb. Mid to late teens, after they've matured sexually? Sure, that's common as dirt. But 13? That's seventh grade. I didn't even think seventh grade girls were that hot when I was *in* seventh grade.
Anyway, too bad that the Morris film isn't very good. "Gates of Heaven" remains one of my favorite movies.
- blake said...
I didn't bother with either of these. Morris was reaching for something that wasn't there--clear from the previews.
Polanski drugged and raped a 13-year-old (her prior behavior should not be an issue, nor any scheming by her mother, right?). I'm okay with that being a career ending move. And, let's face it, the bulk of his good work is over 30 years old.
Documentaries don't have to be neutral to be good, but they should be up-front about their biases.
A few thoughts on documentaries in general, and a few specific recent ones.
Summary of recent documentaries:
Refuseniks: Good material not well presented.
Young@Heart: Fun, surprisingly moving.
The Rape of Europa: A little repetitive but overall an interesting take on part of WWII you don't hear much about.
In The Shadow Of The Moon: Love NASA or hate it, the moon missions were just astounding, and it's still astounding to hear about, even if Neil Armstrong doesn't want to talk about it any more.
A Fistful of Quarters: The King of Kong: Excellent, compelling presentation of what is, essentially, very banal material.
Other noteworthy documentaries of the decade: The absolutely fabulous Muderball, Paper Clips, Sydney Pollack's sympathetic tribute to Frank Gehry, the highly personal Divan and Bukowski: Born Into This.
I'm not sure any of them qualify as neutral, but they all adopt viewpoints that I had no trouble relating to.
- Verso said...
Speaking of Abu Ghraib, I found it fascinating that the US Army's retired Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba has now gone on the record stating his opinion that the Bush Administration committed, and should be prosecuted for, war crimes. Bush "authorized a systematic regime of torture," the US Army general stated, in "Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay," where "U.S. personnel tortured and abused detainees in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, using beatings, electrical shocks, sexual humiliation and other cruel practices."
Maybe if we are lucky, we will someday see justice served on these criminals.
- AJ Lynch said...
Verso- the "new" report was from a Physicans For Something (and probably financed by disgusting fucks like George Soros).
Many of the perps quoted in the report were convicted terrorists who naturally had an ax to grind.
I bet you the report twisted the General's words. Will you take that bet?
- Revenant said...
So is Verso taking over AlphaLiberal's talking-point duties while the latter is away, or are they the same guy to begin with?
- Freeman said...
I always wonder, when a retired general starts playing to anti-military interests and portraying his former troops as committers of war crimes, what he did while on active duty and pulling a paycheck to correct procedures?
I'm betting he did nothing at all.
Like Karpinski who toured the US after Abu Ghraib boldly exposing the abuses of the military... didn't do a thing while she was a General and had the power and the responsibility. Just waa- waa- waa- they're so mean to me and I'm so freaking helpless. And all this bad stuff was happening and no one did anything.
Well, *GENERAL*, that was your JOB!
- Freeman said...
That was me.
- Ann Althouse said...
Yeah, plus she was really hamming it up for the camera.

Buying for good old Mum isn't always easy; she's priceless (obviously) but you want to get her something that shows what she means to you.
Speaking to a few of my friends; I've decided to group my beauty gift suggestions into the following categories. I hope your mum fits into one of these:
Mum to be
More for the partners among us; Mother's Day is going to take on new meaning for the mama-to-be. While she's pregnant, everyone is interested in her every midwife appointment and due date but that all changes once the sprog has popped. These gifts let her know you still care and you want her final days of not-quite-a-fully-fledged-Mum-yet to be as enjoyable as possible.
Mama Mio Candle – £18.50
I love this candle; the pink glass container looks great (and can be used to store make up when the candle has burned out) and it smells so uplifting and fresh. Mum-to-be should spend as much time as possible relaxing and an evening with a bath and this candle will be divine.
StriVectin SD Sensitive Intensive Concentrate for Stretch Marks & Wrinkles – £115
Some mums call them marks of pregnancy and wear them with pride but most of us aren't happy when those little slithers first start so appear. This cream works on even sensitive skin and has been clinically proven to visibly fade discolorations, intensify natural cell turnover and visibly diminish stretch marks. Fragrance, oil, paraben, allergen and artificial dye-free, it also contains Nia-114, active peptides, rose & cucumber extracts, and oat kernel extract to gently soothe the skin.
Green & Blacks Tasting Collection – £11.99
It's 24 mini bars of organic dark and milk chocolate (plus recipe cards on what she can do with it all). Need I say more? Don't be tempted to eat any; let Mum to be enjoy them all on her own.
Ethical Mum
Some of our mothers like the complimentary/holistic lifestyle and buying for them requires a little more forethought. Thankfully, a lot of brands are more 'green' so there's more t available for those who like their beauty to be kind to the planet.
Burts Bees Intense Hydration Range – from £7.99
I was first introduced to Burt's Bees via their excellent baby range (Baby Bees) but their range of beauty products for adults is just as good. Their new range, Intense Hydration, contains clary sage which is known for its ability to retain moisture. I tried the cream cleanser which left my skin wonderfully soft while the day night cream can help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Wild About Beauty Safari Nights Collection – from £14
Wild about Beauty was founded by Louise Redknapp and international make-up artist Kim Jacob. The new Safari Nights collection has very earthy colours (think coral hues, pistachio greens and shimmering bronzes) and most of the products contain friendly ingredients like vitamin E and shea butter and are paraben and petrochemical free.
Nude ProGenius Treatment Oil – £58
Rich in Omega oils 3, 6, 7 & 9, this oil provides deep moisturising and hydration, aids in the renewal and repairing of skin cells and provides skin protection, hydration and nourishment.
Dielle Nail Polish – from £9
There's a lot to love about this brand; the colours are lovely (they've been featured in fashion bible Vogue) and a portion of the proceeds go to humanitarian causes in Haiti. Dielle means Goddess and the brand is called that because they aim to restore the dignity of women and bring value to the lives of those women in the most deprived areas of the world.
Glamorous Mum
Chanel Spring 2013 Collection – from £18
We all love to receive something with the magic interlocking C on so anything from Chanel will go down a storm. Their Spring 2013 is perfection personified; my favourite product is the Poudre Signée De Chanel, a gorgeous warm beige/peach highlighter. Everything looks as good in the box as they do on your face. Form meets function.
Face Forward by Kevyn Aucoin – £11.51
An oldie but a goodie; I love this book. It explains the basics of makeup; contouring, how to exaggerate and minimise certain features and features gorgeous photographs of celebrities as varied as Sharon Stone, Mary J Blige, Madonna and Diana Ross with detailed step by step instructions on how to perfect their look.
Murad Skin Perfecting Primer – £58.50
This dual-functioning cosmetic treatment minimises the appearance of pores and eliminates shine, leaving the skin with a smooth, matte finish. It contains a probiotic complex which promotes resistance to harmful bacteria and salicylic acid to reduce blemishes and dissolve dull, dry skin. It also has adaptive shade technology which creates a perfect skin tone match for virtually any skin shade and colour.
MD Lash Factor – £79.95
Eyelash conditioner is a bit of a thing now and this one is probably the best out there. Developed by a physician, it improves the appearance, thickness and fullness of your natural lashes. In a one month study 95% of users reported an improvement in the overall appearance of lashes with an average increase of 53% increase in length. I'm all for mascara, but who doesn't want naturally longer and thicker lashes? Plus 5% of all proceeds goes toward autism research.
Happy shopping!

This is the second day in a row and Panamanians continue undaunted. Megaphones, loud music and fireworks are all part of the madness as Canada tries to sleep the night before the qualifier on Tuesday.
On Friday, Canada beat Panama in Toronto and now Panama is out for bloody eardrums.
Panama is pulling out all the stops to avenge Canada's win. On Sunday night, more than 100 Panamanian supporters stood outside the Canadian hotel banging drums, setting off fireworks and inviting passing motorists to honk their horns.
The revelers are back and in greater numbers, it would appear. Destroying virtually every known stereotype, most members of team Canada don't seem to be too bothered by it.
Reports are that on top of local radio stations encouraging the disruptions, and cops turning a blind eye, the Panamanian Football Association tweeted out Canada's hotel location encouraging fans to stop by and make some noise.
Gamesmanship gets taken up a notch.

Spy boss poked by Facebook
We all saw yer, Sawers
The Foreign Office has defended spy boss Sir John Sawers after his wife posted private information about the family on Facebook.
Sawers takes over as head of the Secret Intelligence Service in November. His wife's Facebook profile failed to use any privacy protection and included home addresses, family photographs and holiday snaps.
Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband told the BBC: "It's not a State secret that he wears Speedo swimming trunks.
"For goodness sake, let's grow up." Good to see the government taking data security seriously then.
Apart from cavorting in his budgie smugglers, Britain's "C" is also seen posing in a Santa hat in New York.
Lady Shelley Sawers's, page includes messages from family such as: "Congrats on the new job, already dubbed Uncle "C" by nephews in the know."
Other family snaps reveal that Sawers' brother-in-law is an associate of holocaust denier David Irving. Less controversially, another relative pictured on holiday plays Janet Fisher in radio soap opera The Archers.
The pictures and information disappeared quickly once The Mail on Sunday asked the Foreign Office for comment. Given Facebook's rather lax approach to deleting profiles and pictures, however, we can only hope the information has been properly removed.
Facebook altered its privacy policies last week, supposedly to make them easier to access and use. It seems Lady Sawers fell victim to allowing anyone in the London group to see her profile. Such regional groups are being phased out because of security concerns. ®

Newsies, features music by eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Sister Act), lyrics by Jack Feldman and a book by four-time Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (La Cage aux Folles, Torch Song Trilogy). Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions, Newsies is directed by Tony nominee Jeff Calhoun (Big River revival) and choreographed by Tony nominee Christopher Gattelli (South Pacific revival).
Disney Theatrical Productions originally developed Newsies for licensing in response to consistent and sustained requests from professional and amateur theatre groups, and Paper Mill Playhouse hosted its four-week pilot production in summer 2011. Overwhelming audience response to that production prompted a transfer to Broadway for a limited run. Opening with ticket sales from all 50 states, the limited run proved so successful that it was extended twice, become an open ended production in spring of this year. Another round of critical praise after its Broadway opening and 23 major theatrical award nominations followed.
Set in New York City at the turn of the century, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a ragged band of teenaged 'newsies,' who dreams only of a better life far from the hardship of the streets. But when publishing titans Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise distribution prices at the newsboys' expense, Jack finds a cause to fight for and rallies Newsies from across the city to strike for what's right.
Newsies is inspired by the real-life 'Newsboy Strike of 1899,' when newsboy Kid Blink led a band of orphan and runaway Newsies on a two-week-long action against Pulitzer, Hearst and other powerful newspaper publishers.

The he said/she said molestation accusations are only part of the dilemma. What about Allen's cultural contributions?
Want to make a really bad time for yourself on social media? Register an opinion about Dylan Farrow's letter published by the New York Times on Feb. 2 stating that her father, Woody Allen, sexually abused her some two decades ago when she was 7. Better yet, register an opinion that stops short of totally vilifying either Allen, who despite the general ick factor of his attraction to younger women was never charged with a crime, or Farrow, who makes a powerful case despite its lack of concrete evidence (not unusual in such situations). Pretty soon — probably within seconds — you'll have the Facebook equivalent of a sun shower. Contentious comments will rain down on you even as you bask in the glow of "likes."
Not good enough? Suggest Farrow must be believed beyond a shadow of a doubt and you'll be said to be "drinking the Kool-Aid." Suggest that it's a questionable practice to print accusations without granting equal time to the accused and you might be labeled a "rape apologist."
These grenades will be lobbed by your closest friends and most respected colleagues. You'll be shocked by their self-righteousness and naivete, and they'll be shocked by yours. Actually, shocked won't really cover it.
As your peers spout theories you find illogical and self-serving, you will be disappointed, saddened, even depressed. You will tell yourself to get off social media, or at least move on to less polarizing topics, for instance the Israeli-Palestinian conflict or that giraffe that was killed and fed to lions at a Danish zoo. But of course you won't, and pretty soon you will hate everyone you know — and yourself too.
In case you haven't set up a Google alert for every new development in this scandal, here's the latest: Over the weekend, Allen's rebuttal to Farrow's accusation was published in the New York Times. In it, he said he had never molested her and that she'd been used as a pawn by her vengeful mother. Farrow promptly called Allen's defense "the latest rehash of the same legalese, distortions and outright lies he has leveled at me for the past 20 years."
Social media users posted all this news as it happened, and the infighting resumed. Professional columnists and commentators continued to offer varying degrees of indignation and speculation, depending on what their publications would let them get away with. Everyone, whether they decided against a rush to judgment or were inclined to believe one or the other party, emphasized that there were no winners in the situation.
Why, exactly, have so many been so inflamed? Most rational people, after all, understand that barring a confession from Allen or a credible recantation from Farrow, undisputed facts are not going to emerge and allow one side to declare victory.
But the he said/she said is only part of the dilemma here. We're grappling not only with whether one man's sexual proclivities crossed the line into criminal abuse, but a corollary: Do those proclivities cancel out that man's significant cultural contributions?
To ask those who care about Allen's work if they'll still go see his movies is really to ask: "Which do you value more? Aesthetics or morality? Beauty or truth?"
And because answers can't be absolutely pinned down and because no one wins this debate — Do we demonize Picasso and his fans because the painter was an epic womanizer with a teenage mistress? Do we refuse to be friends with anyone who owns a Wagner recording because the composer was famously anti-Semitic? — we fall back on gossip and rumor and slugfests on social media. It's much easier, and snappier, to call someone a rape apologist than to have a rigorous discussion about the puzzle separating the artist from the art.
On the other hand, maybe it's convenient that arguably Allen's last great movie, "Husbands and Wives," came out around the same time as the original abuse allegations. As hard as it is to separate the artist and the art, it's harder still to distinguish those who've stopped going to Allen's movies on moral grounds from those who've given up because his films mostly keep getting worse. So, in a way, there are a few winners here: starting with those who skipped "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion" for any reason whatsoever.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Brandeis University senior Ally Connolly (Concord, N.H./Concord) earned second-team All-University Athletic Association honors today with a 14th-place finish at the 2009 UAA cross country championships hosted by Case Western Reserve University. She helped the Judges to a fourth-place team finish.
Connolly was the Judges' top runner for the first time this season, covering the six-kilometer course in 24:19.47. She improved her performance at the UAA championships from 2008 by 40 places. Connolly is the Judges' first All-UAA performer since 2006 when Camille Stevens-Rumann '07 came in 13th.
On the team front, the Brandeis women were one of five nationally-ranked UAA squads at No. 26. With 100 points, they finished behind conference champions, seventh-ranked Washington University (37 points), No. 11 Case Western Reserve (59 points) and No. 28 NYU (73 points) and ahead of No. 32 Emory (139 points). Brandeis improved by three places over last year's seventh-place finish and earned a spot in the top half of the UAA for the first time since 2002, when they finished second.
Sophomore Alyssa Pisarik (Chelmsford, Mass./Chelmsford), the team's top runner last year came in 17th place with a time of 24:22.60, improving by five positions. Junior Grayce Selig (Narberthm, Pa./Springside School) came in 20th in a time of 24:30.83. The Judges finished with five of the top 25 competitors as junior Marie Lemay (Saco, Maine/Thornton Acad.) and sophomore Emily Bisceglia (Durham, Conn./Coginchaug) placed 24th and 25th, respectively, with times of 24:37.96 and 24:38.62.

Anxiety & Panic Attacks
Anxiety is a feeling of dread, fear, or distress. This can be from a real threat or one that exists in the mind. A panic attack is a brief period of acute anxiety that comes on all of a sudden. It occurs when there is no real danger. It comes without warning.
Signs & Symptoms
Persons having a panic attack may rush to an emergency room. Why? They think they are having a heart attack. They feel like they are going crazy or going to die.
Persons who have repeated panic attacks begin to avoid places they link with past attacks. If the person had the panic attack in a grocery store and had to leave the store to feel safe, the person avoids going to the grocery store. This can lead to a phobia called agoraphobia.
A person who has 4 or more panic attacks in any 4 week period could have panic disorder. The disorder can also be present if the person has less than 4 panic attacks in 4 weeks, but fears having another one.
Some anxiety is normal. It can alert you to seek safety from physical danger. Anxiety is not normal, though, when it overwhelms you and interferes with day-to-day life. Anxiety can be a symptom of many conditions. These include:
Anxiety can also be a symptom of illnesses known as anxiety disorders. These include:
A panic attack lasts only a few minutes, but seems to last for hours.
Anxiety disorders are common problems. They often respond to treatment.
When anxiety is mild and/or does not interfere with daily living, it can be dealt with using self-care measures. Treatment also includes:
Psychological counseling is one method of treatment for anxiety.
Questions to Ask
With anxiety, do you have any of these problems?

Slather on the Sunscreen: What You Should Know About Skin Cancer
After this infographic, you'll never think the same of tanning. Slather on the Sunscreen: What You Should Know About Skin Cancer infographic from fourpointsdermatology.com starts with comparing skin cancer to the other types of cancers, educates you on what the symptoms are to look for, then points out the causes of skin cancer, and finally the possible treatments.
"Slather On That Sunscreen: What You Should Know About Skin Cancer" exposes the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer, explaining the three main types of skin cancer and revealing characteristics and statistics for each. Visually explained in the graphic are the symptoms, causes, prevention, and treatment options for skin cancer. With "Slather on That Sunscreen: What You Should Know About Skin Cancer", Four Points Dermatology is educating viewers that skin cancer prevention can be nearly effortless, and knowing what signs to look for can be life-saving.
Skin cancer incidence has increased 300% since 1994, and shows no sign of slowing down. This infographic was created to educate and encourage people to seek treatment quickly if suspecting of a skin cancer growth. By creating awareness of what symptoms people should be looking for, Four Points Dermatology hopes that the steadily increasing number in cases of skin cancer can be minimized.
Great visuals. Everything from what the symptoms look like, to the causes and preventions are illustrated in a very comprehensible way.
The pie charts with slices that each have a different radius is pretty, but creates a false visualization that doesn't match the data. Readers see the area of objects when comparing them, and changing the radius, changes the area of each pie slice. By reducing the radius of the smaller values, the area is actually reduced much lower than the actual values.

HealthDay News -- The 2012-2013 flu season is off to an early start, and U.S. health officials warn that it could be a bad one.
The predominant strain so far is called influenza A N3H2. Although not new, it is particularly virulent, which is why this flu season might be severe, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"This is the earliest regular flu season we've had in nearly a decade, since the 2003-2004 flu season," CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden said during a press conference Monday. "That was an early and severe flu year. While flu is always unpredictable, the early nature of the cases plus the strain we are seeing suggests it could be a bad flu year."
"It's time to get vaccinated," he added.
In some areas of the country, flu-like symptoms account for 2.2 percent of doctor visits. At that level, the CDC considers the flu season under way, Frieden said.
Five states are hardest hit right now: Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. Georgia and Missouri are also seeing moderately high levels of flu, Frieden said.
The flu season usually runs from fall through spring, peaking in February.
Fortunately, this year's flu vaccine is an "excellent" match for the circulating flu strains, Frieden said. Based on the usual number of people who get vaccinated, the vaccine should be plentiful, he said.
Currently, 123 million doses of the vaccine have been distributed out of an anticipated total of 135 million doses, he said.
The CDC estimates that 112 million Americans have been vaccinated so far this year, which is about the same as last year, Frieden said.
The CDC urges everyone 6 months and older to get vaccinated. It's especially crucial for pregnant women, children and those 65 and older.
Since infants under 6 months of age can't get the vaccine, their protection is dependent on their mother's immunity. And children, older adults and those with chronic health conditions are at greatest risk for complications from the flu.
In a typical year, some 200,000 Americans will be hospitalized with the flu, and as many as 40,000 will die from its complications -- principally pneumonia -- according to the CDC.
Dr. Marc Siegel, associate professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City, said influenza A "usually makes for a worse flu season. But it's impossible to predict how severe it is going to be at this stage."
Siegel believes that the greater the number of people who are vaccinated, the less severe the flu season will be. It's called "herd immunity."
"If you want to protect your pregnant wife or your 3-month-old or your asthmatic boy, get your shot," he said. "Create a ring of immunity for both your family and your community. That's the best thing you can do."

Tis the season for holiday spirit: Yule logs, egg nog, festive lights and exchanging gifts with loved ones. If you work for McDonald's, though, be sure to save those receipts.
McDonald's McResource Line, a dedicated website run by the world's largest fast-food chain to provide its 1.8 million employees with financial and health-related tips, offers a full page of advice for "Digging Out From Holiday Debt." Among their helpful holiday tips: "Selling some of your unwanted possessions on eBay or Craigslist could bring in some quick cash."
Elsewhere on the site, McDonald's encourages its employees to break apart food when they eat meals, as "breaking food into pieces often results in eating less and still feeling full." And if they are struggling to stock their shelves with food in the first place, the company offers assistance for workers applying for food stamps.
McDonald's corporate officers have a history of offering questionable advice to their low-wage workers. Four months ago, the company partnered with Visa to distribute a sample "budget." In it, the chain suggested that workers needn't pay for such frivolous expenses like their heating bills, and factored in a monthly rent of $600. To workers living in New York City (home of 350+ stores) and other expensive metropolises, that number is almost comical.
McDonald's employees are some of the most underpaid workers in the country. The company's cashiers and "team members" earn, on average, $7.75 an hour, just 50 cents higher than the federal minimum wage. Responding to rising living costs, many stores have staged walk-outs, strikes and protests, demanding a living wage. In Europe, where the minimum wage for employees is $12, customers pay just pennies more than their American counterparts for the same menu items, while the stores themselves typically bring in higher profit margins than ones in the United States.
Of course, McDonalds has shown little willingness to negotiate higher salaries for their poorest workers even as labor rights groups up the pressure. Instead, their website has another piece of advice for people who are stressed about their meager paychecks: "Quit complaining," the site suggests. "Stress hormones levels rise by 15% after 10 minutes of complaining."
"Digging Out From Holiday Debt" now redirects to an error message. "Some of the content has been reviewed and changes were made where appropriate," McDonald's spokesperson Lisa McComb told ThinkProgress. "We'll continue to do that periodically."
Here is what the page now looks like:

Before the invention and wide accessibility of the internet, people had to call around to compare cheap insurance quotes. They could spend hours of their lives on the phone only to find out that the best policy for them was the first one they called. They would then have to call the office back and go through the explanation again. Once they did they still had to go down to the local office and sign paper work and make a payment before they were insured.
Thankfully, times have changed and people don't have to spend hours on the phone just to find the best rate. Logging on and going to your prospective insurance company takes a lot of time too. So how do you compare cheap insurance quotes to get the best deal on your car insurance? Just go to your favorite search engine instead.

If you prefer spending endless hours on the phone just to get the best rate go right ahead. Using the internet can take the hassle out of buying car insurance. Who needs another headache when all you're looking for is the best coverage in your price range?

Job Description for Electrical Engineer
Electrical engineers are responsible for implementing and designing components for any device that uses electricity, as well as the devices themselves. Engineers have to focus on the generation of power to the device or product. These devices can include anything that runs on electricity. Electrical engineers also focus on researching, creating, and improving products and devices.Read More...
Due to the nature of the engineer's job, they often work in teams to solve the complex issues they are dealing with. Oftentimes, these teams consist of engineers with an expertise in different areas, so the group is better-equipped to arrive at a solution to an electrical need in a product. Therefore, it is important that engineers are team players. They must also be able to communicate ideas, take direction. They must be adept at math and science, be excellent problem solvers, able to think creatively, comfortable working on a computer, and comfortable speaking to a large group.
Becoming an electrical engineer does have some educational requirements, including having at least a bachelor's degree. Most businesses won't consider someone for this position unless they have a degree, and most firms require a master's or doctoral degree in electrical engineering. Some companies may also require years of experience. (Copyright 2019 PayScale.com)
- Design, maintain, implement, and improve electrical instruments and equipment.
- Supervise and train project staff as needed.
- Inspect completed projects to ensure conformance with design standards.

- Keyboard and Microsoft mouse (or other compatible pointing device)
- Internet access (fees may apply)
Important information for x64-based operating systems
Ensure that you have updated and digitally signed kernel-mode drivers for Windows Server 2012
If you install a Plug and Play device, you may receive a warning if the driver is not digitally signed. If you install an application that contains a driver that is not digitally signed, you will not receive an error during Setup. In both cases, Windows Server 2012 will not load the unsigned driver.
If you are not sure whether the driver is digitally signed, or if you are unable to boot into your computer after the installation, use the following procedure to disable the driver signature requirement. This procedure enables your computer to start correctly, and the unsigned driver will load successfully.
To disable the signature requirement for the current boot process:
- Restart the computer and during startup, press F8.
- Select Advanced Boot Options.
- Select Disable Driver Signature Enforcement.
- Boot into Windows and uninstall the unsigned driver.
Before you start Setup
Before you install Windows Server 2012, follow the steps in this section to prepare for the installation.
- Disconnect UPS devices. If you have an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) connected to your destination computer, disconnect the serial cable before running Setup. Setup automatically attempts to detect devices that are connected to serial ports, and UPS equipment can cause issues with the detection process.
- Back up your servers. Your backup should include all data and configuration information that is necessary for the computer to function. It is important to perform a backup of configuration information for servers, especially those that provide network infrastructure, such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers. When you perform the backup, be sure to include the boot and system partitions and the system state data. Another way to back up configuration information is to create a backup set for Automated System Recovery.
- Disable your virus protection software. Virus protection software can interfere with installation. For example, it can make installation much slower by scanning every file that is copied locally to your computer.
- Run the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool. You should run this tool to test the RAM on your computer. To use the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool, follow the instructions in the Windows Memory Diagnostic Users Guide
- Provide mass storage drivers. If your manufacturer has supplied a separate driver file, save the file to a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drive in either the root directory of the media or the amd64 folder. To provide the driver during Setup, on the disk selection page, clickLoad Driver (or press F6). You can browse to locate the driver or have Setup search the media.
- Be aware that Windows Firewall is on by default. Server applications that must receive unsolicited inbound connections will fail until you create inbound firewall rul s to allow them. Check with your application vendor to determine which ports and protocols are necessary for the application to run correctly.

ISCR Software
IC 16-38-2 requires health care providers, as specified in Section 3.(a), to report cancer cases to the Indiana State Cancer Registry (ISCR). To assist facilities in submitting this data, ISCR provides software, free of charge, called the "ISCR FTP program." This program encrypts submission data using 256-bit AES encryption and RSA public key encryption and uploads the encrypted data to an SFTP server maintained by the Indiana Office of Technology (IOT). Alternatively the program can attach the encrypted data to an email to send to ISCR.
You will need a password and a facility list file to install the ISCR FTP program. To obtain the password and the file, contact the Indiana State Cancer Registry by email or by phone at 317-234-2561.
|When to Use
|If you use Rocky Mountain Cancer Data Systems (RMCDS) software for your cancer registry, then install this configuration. The ISCR FTP program is integrated into RMCDS and is accessed from the Custom menu in the main RMCDS window. The program is used entirely within the RMCDS environment.
|Installation Instructions
|Instructions for Use
|Install this configuration if you use any cancer registry software except RMCDS, for example, ERS, IMPATH, CNExT, Oncolog, or METRIQ, to name a few. The ISCR FTP program runs independently of your cancer registry software and is accessed from an icon placed on the desktop or from the Windows Start menu.
|Installation Instructions
|Instructions for Use
|This configuration provides the file encryption features of the program, but none of the SFTP capabilities for transmitting data. Install this configuration if you need to use public key encryption but you don't need to submit data to ISCR. Installing the basic configuration requires neither a password nor a facility list file.
|If you have already installed the ISCR FTP program, either the RMCDS configuration or the Standard configuration, and need to update the program to the latest version, then download this file. You do not need a password to download or install the update. Typically the program is able to update itself automatically, so it's rarely necessary to download this update yourself. Note that to install the update you need to run your current version of the ISCR FTP program after you download the file. See the instructions for details.
|Compare the version number and update level shown by the ISCR FTP program with this (which should match this):
Version: 6.1.5
Update 13
If you have an earlier version, you should download this update.
|Installation Instructions
The column labeled Files contains the following links:
- Installation Instructions gives directions on how to install a particular configuration of the program, or how to download an update to the program.
- Download initiates downloading of a particular configuration or update of the program.
- Instructions for Use gives directions on how to use a particular configuration of the program after you've installed it.
Edits Metafile
An edits metafile contains a set of algorithms--called edits--for checking the validity of many of the data items that make up a cancer record. The Indiana State Cancer Registry has created its own metafile. Data submitted to ISCR is expected to pass the edit checks from this metafile.
There are two metafile formats. The RMF format is used by programs such as GenEdits for actually running the edit checks. The Indiana metafile in this format is named INH16E.rmf. The EMF format is used by programs such as EditWriter for writing the edits and grouping them into edit sets. Indiana metafile in this format is named INH16E.emf. You can download a zip file containing both metafiles plus a file named Edits Version 16E (Hospital).pdf that lists the edits in the metafile with a description of each one.

In the wake of the gruesome killings of several cats in South Florida, and the news that the teen accused in the killings dissected cats in a high school class, educators are questioning whether cutting up animal carcasses in school should be eliminated from the curriculum.
When 18-year-old Tyler Weinman was arrested and charged with killing 19 cats in Cutler Bay and Palmetto Bay, we soon learned that the high schooler had dissected a cat during an anatomy class during his junior year.
Weinman's arrest fueled the argument for critics who'd like to see dissecting become a thing of the past.
PETA quickly jumped on his former school, Miami Palmetto High, demanding they put a stop to animal dissections in favor of more humane learning methods, like using fake animal models.
"There is no research that shows using real cats is better than non-animal learning methods," Justin Goodman, a PETA researcher, told the Miami Herald.
Supporters of animal dissecting say that the practice, which has been around for hundreds of years, is generally for more advanced science classes, and that it's hard to replicate the real deal.
"It's one thing to show you physically what an animal looks like, but I don't think you want to take your animal to a veterinarian that doesn't know what the inside of an animal looks like," Milagros Fornell, associate superintendent for curriculum and instruction in Miami-Dade, told the Herald.
The Broward County School District got rid of dissecting cats a decade ago, though they still do frogs and fetal pigs.
Many, including the teacher who instructed Weinman in his cat dissection, aren't quite ready to make the connection between a classroom exercise and a brutal cat killing spree.
"I don't know how we can bridge the gap between a controlled [classroom] situation, to what this disturbed young man has done," Palmetto High anatomy teacher Lynn Evans said last week.
At the college level, one local professor said that the cats will be killed anyway, so we might as well draw some knowledge out of them.
"People are always worried about where they come from. Do you know how many thousands of cats are euthanized in this country?" said Bruce Grayson, biology professor at UM. "If students can learn from them, and as long as they are properly obtained and disposed of, and as long as students use them in a responsible manner, then they are a useful teaching tool."

CEO Challenge Reflections: Social Media Goes to Work
- Authors:
Publication Date:
October 2011
The CEO Challenge Reflections series is intended to provoke thought and take a deeper dive into "the issues behind the issues."
According to the 704 top executives who responded to the The Conference Board CEO Challenge® survey in 2011, it's all about reorienting their organizations toward growth.
The implications of social media in the workplace—for product development, go-to-market strategies, customer relations, corporate branding, and recruiting—are enormous. Why then are so many senior executives reluctant to take the plunge?
