My wife and I spent 3 night at the inn to celebrate our anniversary and we had a great time. The updated accommodations were fantastic along with a fireplace we used every night. Very cozy and warming. The Ravens has great plant based food that is tasty and good for you at the same time. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub several time. While it was a little cool for us to canoe it would have been a good choice. The staff was nothing short of helpful and a pleasure to interact with. We will definitely come back again

Would but we could find ALL of our accommodations when we travel to be as comfortable, the staff as attentive, the surroundings as serene and peaceful, and the food as delicious! Yes, it is true that you can have it all and we certainly did, and then some. Staying at the Stanford Inn By The Sea is by far the best time away from daily life for us as it allows our minds, our souls, our bodies to simply let go and just "be", knowing every detail is being well attended to, and all of this set amongst the most exquisitely beautiful northern California coast. Without question we will be back, in fact we book our special Labor Day weekend time there a year in advance. It's THAT special! And that worthwhile! Go! Enjoy! And spread the word!

My husband and I stay at the Stanford Inn at least once a year sometimes twice. It is my favorite place to stay...it is so peaceful! Our dog loves it too. The food is wonderful and my husband really likes the scones at Breakfast.

We have stayed at Stanford Inn by the Sea almost yearly for the past 8 years. They consistently deliver a wonderful experience between the gardens, swimming pool & spa, the pets, rooms and lovely meals. We have frequently brought non-vegetarian guests and family who have also REALLY enjoyed the food. We highly recommend this lovely Inn as a base from which to explore this coast. (Try the canoeing on the Big River!)

What a wonderful surprise. The mellow and embracing atmosphere immediately put us at ease . We loved that everyone seemed to bring their favorite dog and that there was a pet friendly dining room in addition to the regular dining area. We loved that moutain bikes were included, as well as a charming pool , hot tub and delicious breakfast. Our room came with a wood burning fireplace all ready for us to sit in front of and a charming deck overlooking the Pacific. Between the gardens, the deck and the fireplace, we barely needed to leave our room, but we did go on a hour long bike ride along the gorgeous river. We loved it all. The only thing that was a surprise is that it is really vegan, and that means no creamer in the room for the morning coffee. I'm wondering if they could deliver soy milk in the am because I love the coffee maker in the room. Otherwise it was heaven.

Celebrating a birthday at the Stanford Inn was the perfect thing for us to do! Absolutely everyone on the staff ~ from the front desk, to the housekeepers, the massage therapists ("D" and MaryKay), the restaurant staff (Ricardo, Ole and Sid), groundskeeper (Pedro) and other workers ~ were as polite and attentive as could be. My birthday friend and I asked for an early check-in which, on a weekday, was no problem. In the nicely appointed room, we were greeted with balloons and cookies for the birthday person. Our "drug of choice" for relaxation involved receiving awesome Thai and Hot Stone massages (scheduled in advance, of course). Both "D" (a longtime Thai massage expert) and MaryKay were very knowledgeable therapists; they gave us "the space" to quiet our minds in while working their magic... D's Thai massage totally reversed three chronic issues that I was having! As requested, a chilled bottle of Louis Roederer Champagne and glasses awaited us in the room upon our return. With surprisingly warm fall weather, we were able to sit outside on our private back deck to sip on the bubbly. Afterwards, we strolled over to the Raven's Restaurant for an incredible vegetarian dinner ~ finishing it off with a birthday-candled dessert and heavenly Big River coffee. We ended this wonderful day by cozying up to our in-room fireplace that had a never-ending supply of dried wood! And, if all of this wasn't enough, we were given the most delicious complimentary breakfast the next morning! Thank you, Joan and Jeff, for creating your Dream Vacation Getaway. We will never forget our stay and your hospitality... Fondly, D & N

We have stayed at Stanford Inn half a dozen times and am amazed at the way I feel each time. It is a very peaceful place even though there is a lot going on - yoga classes, kayaking and canoeing, mountain biking, pets just about everywhere, ever-changing ocean views and cloud formations, fabulous vegan dining (President Clinton would love it here too) ... plus beautiful guest rooms with thoughtful amenities to keep us comfortable and help us feel cared for. The Stanford's are fascinating people - seem to be always present. Their staff reflects their values of kindness and goodwill. If you've not been to Stanford Inn (And Ravens Restaurant), put this on your list as a MUST. I promise that you'll be as happy as I am for the experience.

The Stanford Inn's setting is located on 10 acres of spectacular gardens at the mouth Big river and Mendocino Village. I drove up from San Francisco in about 21/2 hour through the beautiful Mendocino wine country on highway 128. I stayed in room 222 an exceptional room with a deck and view of Mendocino village and the pacific, the room amenities are first class with stereo, flat screen TV, robes, comfortable bed and everything you would expect in a first class inn. The Staff was Professional, friendly and more than helpful. The Ravens Restaurant is a full service restaurant with an excellent vegetarian menu. All the produce is organic and grown on the property or local. I do not generally go to vegetarian restaurants but was impressed by the chef that created some unique and delicious dishes that I really enjoyed. The Inn has Mountain bike and Canoeing offered to the guests located on the property, if you get a chance to Canoe up Big River it is quite an experience and numerous Mountain biking trails all in the state parks that surround Mendocino. Joan and Jeff Stanford have owned and operated this property for almost 30 years and their attention to detail and the experience they have created is what staying in an inn is all about.

The property, main lodge, scenery, food - it was all great. Especially the dining - I'm not a vegetarian, but I could be after staying there - incredible.

This place is amazing! The property is larger than most typical B&Bs. However, the location, scenery, and setting are out of this world! I highly recommend staying here. The food was extraordinary as well!

Capitol Theatre

That would be a different Capitol Theatre. Tommy Boy says it takes place in Sandusky, Ohio. Very little was actually filmed in Sandusky, or in Ohio period. The bulk of the movie was shot in Toronto, Canada. None of it was shot in Cleveland to my knowledge and according to IMDB unless they greenscreened something in.
the marquee can been seen in the background of two scenes in the 1995 comedy movie Tommy boy.
Seating capacities are: Screen 1:450, Screen 2: 131 and Screen 3:131. The very plain Screens 2 and 3 are virtual mirror images, in the former circle area.
Screens should now be three.
Here are more details about the October 2 reopening from the website www.clevelandcinemas.com
Friday, October 2 at 9:30 AM – Ribbon Cutting Ceremony – Be on hand to witness the historic reopening and dedication of the Capitol Theatre. Following the dedication ceremony there will be a showing of Casablanca. (This event is free and open to the public but you must have a ticket. Tickets can be picked up at the Detroit Shoreway offices starting at 9 AM on Friday, September 25th.)
Friday, October 2 at 7:00 PM – A Capitol Evening opening night party. Tickets are on sale now in the Cleveland Cinemas store for this exciting event which includes admission to the film of your choice druing the 7:00 round and then an after party in the Gordon Square Arcade from 9 – 11. Please make sure you select the appropriate item in our store the film that you want to see when you purchase your ticket to this event.
According to the Gordan Square Arts District website the grand opening will be Oct 1st – 11th, 2009. I can't wait! I won't have to drive through the city to the Cedar Lee anymore.
I'm sitting at Gypsy Bean Cafe looking out the window at Capitol Theater across the street. There are workers outside painting the marquee among other things. Looks like it's almost done. A friend told me it's supposed to reopen this summer but I'm not sure what his source is.
The last time films were shown at the Capital Theater was the summer of '82 when River and Tom Smith (Liberation Brew) created the Cleveland West Film Society. The films "King of Hearts" and "Harold and Maude" drew big crowds. There is hope the the Variety Theater neighborhood will experience a similar revival that the Detroit Shoreway neighborhood has, good luck Capital Theater.
This is the Plain Dealer article referred to from the link in the previous post:
$7 million renovation of Capitol theater to begin
by Karen Sandstrom
The Plain Dealer
May 14, 2008 09:18A
On a rainy Cleveland evening in April 1921, hundreds of people gathered at West 65th Street and Detroit Avenue to celebrate the newly built Gordon Square Arcade and its attached movie theater, the Capitol.
After a few speeches and a tune from a six-piece orchestra, the Capitol screen lit up with its debut feature film, "The Inner Voice." The female lead, actress Agnes Ayres, would lose her fortune years later in the stock market crash. But at the moment, the silent-film world still held promise, and she was a star.
A little of that 1921 excitement might be in the air at 4:10 p.m. Wednesday as community leaders in the Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood gather inside the Capitol to celebrate a $7 million project aimed at renovating the theater and invigorating the neighborhood.
Construction begins Thursday to turn the theater, empty for 23 years, into a three-screener specializing in independent films. It is slated to reopen in April 2009.
This marks the newest and largest investment to date in the Gordon Square Arts District.
The district is a roughly 24-block area shaping up as a Mecca for galleries, boutiques, eateries and theaters. The overall plan is to invest $30 million in creating a streetscape along Detroit, renovating Cleveland Public Theatre and building a new home for the Near West Theatre, a community theater that reaches out to disadvantaged youths.
Jeffrey Ramsey, executive director of the Detroit Shoreway Community Development Organization, says the Capitol is the cornerstone.
The hope is that 100,000 people will see movies there every year, he says. As an arts district, the neighborhood "needs an anchor, a catalyst."
The Capitol will be owned by Detroit Shoreway and operated by Cleveland Cinemas, which runs the Cedar Lee Theatre and five others.
The intellectual menu will include the occasional big Hollywood movie.
And, like the Cedar Lee, the concessions menu will include locally baked pastries, fresh sandwiches and beer.
Ramsey, Cleveland City Councilman Matt Zone and Joy Roller, executive director of the Gordon Square Arts District, envision the Capitol as part of a little theater district that draws visitors who stay to dine and shop. They hope the cool factor will encourage brain-gainers to buy some of the area's new houses.
The Capitol is also an important nod to the past. Zone says his grandparents lived on West 65th Street. His parents dated at the Capitol.
"To see new life being breathed into that place is just reinvigorating," he said.
When the Capitol was unveiled in 1921, it boasted a single screen in a proscenium above a stage outfitted with a pipe organ — live musical enhancement for all that silent action onscreen. There were about 800 seats on the main floor and another 400, arranged on ascending steps, in the balcony.
Bare bulbs surrounded a wagon-wheel-style light fixture that illuminated an intricately painted ceiling — "the color scheme is old rose, ivory and gray," reported the April 9, 1921, edition of The Plain Dealer. Plaster columns and painted medallions decorated the side walls. A second-floor mezzanine had a decorative fireplace.
When talkies supplanted silent films in the 1930s, much of the wall decoration was covered in fabric to improve acoustics. But the theater played on through the war years and after, as the area boomed with families.
In the 1970s, it closed for a while, then reopened showing films from eastern Europe. In the early 1980s, the Capitol also screened movies from the Cleveland International Film Festival.
The last performance was a vaudeville show presented by Cleveland Public Theatre in 1985.
In 1997, Detroit Shoreway, which by then owned the Capitol as well as the rest of the Gordon Square Arcade, secured $50,000 to stem decay of the theater (roof leaks had caused significant water damage), remove some of the debris and hire an architect to draw up preliminary plans for a renovated theater and street improvements along Detroit.
Those plans sat idle until recently, when the Gordon Square Arts District emerged to lead fund raising for arts investment in the neighborhood.
Of the $7 million that the renovation is expected to cost, $4.5 million comes by way of tax-credit equity.
In this case, investor National City Corp. recoups much of its money through federal New Market tax credits granted by the government to encourage improvements in low-income neighborhoods. Federal and state historic-district tax credits also have been granted.
Another $1.5 million comes as a 2 percent loan from the city of Cleveland; $500,000 is a Cleveland Foundation grant; $100,000 is a grant from the Finance Fund; and $360,000 comes from a county Commercial Redevelopment Fund grant.
Marous Brothers Construction, designer-builder of the renovation, will donate $100,000 in services.
Architect Chris Auvil, who works for Marous, said the theater has great presence.
"I love the neoclassical nature of it — the exuberance, the digging back into historical roots. It's just a very elegant space," he said.
"Although we will not be able to restore everything, we want to respect what's there."
When the job is done, the main theater will be outfitted with 400 plush seats with cupholders. The balcony will become two 100-seat theaters.
And there won't be a hint of old-fashioned film. Cleveland Cinemas President Jonathan Forman said the Gordon will have all-digital technology. That makes for higher-quality viewing and allows the theater to show 3-D movies, live concerts by satellite and other nontraditional programs.
West Siders have long asked Forman to deliver something like the Cedar Lee a little closer to home, he said.
"I think the audience is big enough that it can support two [independent-film] theaters in two different parts of the city," he said.
Eight months before Gordon Square and the Capitol Theatre first opened back in the '20s, investors published a newspaper ad to boost enthusiasm for the project. "The Time to Pick Cherries Is When They Are Ripe!" the ad shouted in bold type.
It went on to promise that "Gordon Square will eventually be to Cleveland what Times Square is to New York City." No one speaks in such overblown terms today.
Still, Foreman was pleasantly stunned by what he saw when he started looking at the neighborhood.
"The truth is, I had no idea what was going on in that area, and holy cow!" he said.
"There is such passion and such growth and such movement."
Another PD link about Capitol Theatre renovation:
$7 million renovation spelled out in today's Plain Dealer.
According to a recent newspaper article, the Capitol theater was built by the Allen family, the same family that built the Allen theater in Downtown Cleveland. A leaky roof caused extensive damage to the ceiling and wall but the building remains sound. The plan is to renovate the Capitol into three movie theaters-prserving the look of the main auditorium but reducing seating on the main floor to 300 to 400 and adding 2 100-seat theaters in the balcony. The theater will be renamed the Capitol Movie Theater. A second phase of the plan includes adding three new auditoriums to the building. The hope is to turn the into an art theater multiplex in the manner of the Cedar Lee. Construction is expected to be complete by the summer of 2008. A picture in the paper shows a faded but still in tact interior.
There are now plans to reopen the Capitol by the fall of 2007, as a West Side art/independent film house. The original 1200-seat auditorium will be triplexed and remodeled. This will be part of a plan to turn the West 65th/Detroit Avenue area into a theater district (the Cleveland Public Theatre, which shows stage plays, one of which is in a former film theatre which I don't know the name of offhand, is across the street-the CPT has been successful for the past several years.) The group behind renovating this theatre hopes to get Cleveland Cinemas to operate it.
The last time the Capitol was in use as a movie theatre was briefly in 1980 and 1981, when the Cleveland International Film Festival exhibited certain films there…at the time the film festival was first expanding, with films also showing at CWRU and the Colony Theatre (now Shaker Square Cinemas) as well as the Capitol. I think the films at the Capitol were part of an Eastern European program. After the '81 film festival the theatre has been dark.

*Whew! A lot of folks are SO happy that 5-year-old Usher Raymond V is showing signs of improvement!
The little tyke nearly drowned in a pool the other day while trying to retrieve a toy; but now we're told he's already sitting up in bed at the hospital, eating, laughing, and talking to people … Still, it may be days before he's released.
Sources close to the family told TMZ he is still in the ICU, in a private area, and expected to be released in the next couple of days.
Those same sources say that Tameka, the boy's mother and Usher's ex-wife, hasn't left the hospital since the accident.
Tameka blames Usher for putting their son in an environment that led to the near-drowning accident on Monday.
She also has a problem with the aunt that was watching him at the time of the accident. She has now filed legal docs seeking primary custody.

Amazon is all set to announce its long-awaited Android tablet this Wednesday, a device that is projected to give the iPad the biggest run for its money yet. Now, TechCrunch is reporting the tablet is to be named the Kindle Fire.
Rumor has it the Kindle Fire (which doesn't signal a discontinuation of the original eInk Kindles, don't worry) resembles a much-improved BlackBerry PlayBook. As reported, it will run Android but Amazon is using its own skin that gives the software a unique experience and distinguish it from the host of other Android tablets. We'll get a glimpse at the model this Wednesday, but the tablets won't launch until November — just in time for the holiday shopping season and right on target with those original rumors.
Since everything is lining up quite nicely and in line with what we've heard about Amazon tablets since day one, we're hedging bets that a 10-inch tablet announcement is in the foreseeable future. And this might be the one to hold out for: Rumor has it Amazon is simply trying to get a tablet in its lineup for holiday shopping as well as to steal some of the Apple iPhone thunder sure to come our way (right?!). We'll know better Wednesday, as we'll be at Amazon's New York event announcing the launch of the Kindle Fire.

K-League side Sunwon Bluewings suffered an ignominious AFC Champions League defeat against Kashiwa Reysol, after missing three out of four second-half penalties in an eight-goal thriller.
The visiting Japanese outfit triumphed 6-2 on the night after leading just 1-0 at half-time, with Dzenan Radoncic and Jong Tae-Se both missing spot-kicks as the home side endured a humiliating defeat.
"The ball is round. Everything can happen in this ball game and this is what we have learned from this big loss to Kashiwa," said Suwon coach Seo Jung-Won after the extraordinary match came to a close.
"Football is such a fluid thing where if you fail to score you will allow opponent to get on the next wave of attack. We had enough chances to recover the balance, but we failed to regain the power."
"It was a hard game for both teams," added Kashiwa coach Nelsinho Baptista.
"There were several challenging moments from the home side, but we were able to endure them and we scored when we needed to."
The result allowed the Japanese side to pull five points clear at the top of their AFC Champions League group, while Sunwon are still searching for their first victory in the competition this season. Given their accuracy from 12 yards, Extra Time feels they may be waiting a little longer ...

In fact I was somewhat aware at the time that ska had something to do with mod, but it would be a few more months before I'd read more and put the two firmly together. It also had a large part in creating a division in my "mod" days as well all the way up to the present day in a way. Despite a steady diet of The Specials, Madness, The (English) Beat and Bad Manners (I was never much on The Selecter, still ain't) throughout the early 80's I did not hear my first original ska records till after Decmeber, 30, 1984 when I met a wonderful skinhead girl at a Mod Nite in NYC, an event which was documented by her at the time and reproduced here:
She made me cassettes with original versions of tunes all of the 2-Tone bands had covered as well as a host of other classic ska/reggae/rocksteady tracks. I was on my way. At the same time in 1984 I met the first mods I'd ever encountered. They were all from Northern New Jersey or the NYC metro area drawn together by a love of music etc. Sadly by 1985 there were already little "factions", a "scene war" if you will with music being the root of the division. Utterly ridiculous when there were never more than 50 of us. I was firmly in what I'd like to think was a more progressive camp. Unfortunately this degenerated into a classic narrow "us vs. them" scenario. "Them" being a coterie of NYC mods who listened to pretty much nothing but ska (both original and mostly second wave bands), The Jam and pretty much acted like the music world existed from 1979 to 1982 (oddly being all but ignorant towards any '79 U.K. mod bands). They wore the "uniform": Fred Perry's, Dr. Martens, Harringtons, bomber jackets, monkey boots, porkpie hats (actually stingy brims but I'll save that rant for another post), braces, etc. "Us" being people who wore more post 1965 clothes like paisley shirts, Nehru jackets, patterned 60's style trousers, polka dot shirts, red jeans, tinted granny glasses, Beatle and Chelsea boots, etc. We listened to all of the above but also were spreading out a little further and enjoying new English bands like The Prisoners and The Times as well as American 60's garage, less well known UK bands like The Creation, The Birds, The Eyes or The Artwoods, British 60's r&b like Georgie Fame as well as "dangerous" sounds like The Pink Floyd, The Herd, etc. "We" had a variety of bands we followed. Though the two "mod" bands (Mod Fun from Northern New Jersey) and The Secret Service (from Long Island, NY) were the only ones from our age group on the NYC "scene" there were a multitude of 60's type garage bands. "They" had The Scene, an NYC mod band (not to be confused with the vasty superior UK mod band of the same moniker) and a handful of local ska bands. Though people came from a variety of areas out mutual stomping ground was NYC, fortunately there was never any real stomping, just silly arguments (usually in print in our own fanzines) and lots of scowling, sneering, dirty looks and the usual juvenile stand offishness. "Their" headquarters was, for a while, a decadent multi floored ex-disco coke club called The Danceteria on West 37th Street, ours was a shithole on the edges of the garment district one block away from a hooker strip called The Dive on West 29th Street. It wasn't all black and white though, my friends and I freely mixed with punks we knew, teds, "garage" scene people and even normal folks who didn't dress a certain way but like us, were there for the music at 257 West 29th Street. They pretty much stuck to "their" clubs and we stuck to "ours" after bands from both camps, Mod Fun and The Scene played a semi legendary "mod nite" at a run down basement called The Subway Club in Queens, NYC. Funnily enough both of our home bases shut down in 1986!
Mod Fun's (a band firmly in "our" camp) 1984 debut single "I Am With You" contained the line "I got some 2-Tone records sitting on my shelf, that's the sound for me". By 1985/86 they were singing on stage "I got some 2-Tone records sitting in the trash and that's the place for them" after the black lash within the "mod scene" when it became the "psych mods" vs. the "ska mods". It was pretty silly and petty but because of the open social hostility we faced from "them" it would be several years before I would ever wear DM's or a Fred Perry because it was too "ska mod".
|"Ska-mods" and "psych-mods" at a Mod Nite, The Subway Club, Queens, NY July 1985
In the end by the late 80's most of "us" were not in the least bit remotely mod (save me and maybe half a dozen die hards, three of whom in 1989 formed The Insomniacs, who are still out there) and "them" had all moved onto other things. Then "it" started happening again in '87-'88. There was a third wave of ska bands, mostly American, all third rate if you ask me (it's my soapbox so I get to say what I feel), with them came not many "ska mods" but half assed skinheads, or as we called them "ska kids": braces, baggy trousers, bomber jackets, DM's, flat caps. By this time I'd already discovered the essential "Club '67 Ska" LP and the two volumes of "Intensified" as well as a host of other things (like the tasty Prince Buster LP reissues), having foolishly (temporarily) disdained the second wave of ska because of the previously mentioned element I was equally appalled by the third wave and in my elitist snobbery was driven even deeper into 60's ska/rocksteady which was fortunately easily available. Socially I was briefly drawn into that circle by some mutual acquaintances who introduced me to a very lively and peaceful mob of skinheads (also on the fringes of this scene were a few ex-"ska mods" from '84-'86 who were now "scooterists", basically people who were too scruffy to be mods or too wimpy to be bikers). Though we may not have agreed on a lot musically we all drank rather heavily so various NYC Lower East Side watering holes became our H.Q's in the late 80's. There was Nightbirds aka Jailbirds because of the large number of high school girls (aka jail bait) who'd somehow wander in AND be served resulting in a mass of drunken 17-18 year old girls. There was Sophies , a former old man bar which was run by an old Polish lady. She later banned my bald brethren after a brief but rather bloody (literally. no one was killed but there were some severe beatings and a few stabbings) Nazi Skinhead vs. S.H.A.R.P. (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice) civil war ("no skinnyheads" she'd yell when skinheads would enter, a few years later in the early 90's oddly the place was overrun by ex-pat Polish right wing neo-fascists after the fall of communism). Then there was Mona's, which had the best jukebox NYC has ever seen and the best draft beer selection of the three. And what was the music of choice in all three of these bar's jukeboxes? Original 60's ska/reggae. No Specials, no Madness, no Toasters and no Potato 5.
These days, like "Northern soul", I prefer ska/reggae in liberal doses, not pounded into my brain for an entire evening and certainly not by 3rd, 4th and even 5th generation bands. I still like Madness more than The Specials (though I like The Specials too), but maybe that's because I like Kilburn and the Highroads and these days I'm torn between smoother produced "rocksteady" stuff or kitchen sink produced old Blue Beat records.

An unexplainably mystifying illusion that adds laughter on top of great magic!
The "victim" puts their head inside the cabinet. The front is open so the face can be clearly seen. Inside the box it's a tight fit, no room to move around or even wiggle their head.
You grab hold of the massive handles on the top of the cabinet and twist the crank! LOUD cranking sounds are heard as the box spins around. The "victim's" head spins completely around their body several times! Then spins in the opposite direction, before coming back to normal.The audience see's the victims face each time their head spins around! Perform Surrounded, Super Deceptive, NO Fake Head, Open Front, NO Mirrors.
This illusion is designed to be done by two people. Either the magician or the assistant can be the "victim" or the"cranker". It can not be done with volunteers from the audience.

Pension vote puts some House Republicans in awkward position
Florida House Republicans tried to close the state's pension system to new employees this year, saying it's a ticking time bomb that could cripple the state's budget for years to come.
But many of those same GOP lawmakers are members of the state pension system themselves, according to aTimes/Herald review.
In fact, more than half of House Republicans could see the perks of the pension when they retire, forgoing the riskier 401(k)-style plans they wanted to force upon new state employees.Several of those same Republicans debated in favor of closing the pension system when it came up for a vote in March. Most of them did not respond to interview requests Friday.
Of the three who did, two said they weren't aware that they were in the pension. A third, Rep. Ross Spano, R-Dover, said he notified the state this month that he wanted to switch to the 401(k)-style "investment plan."
Spano said Friday that Florida cannot afford to continue adding new employees to the pension.
"The necessity to fund the plan with $500 million from general revenue this year is an example of why we can't continue down this road," he said via email. "We have a responsibility to think and plan ahead on behalf of all of the current and future citizens of the state of Florida."

PLC features reconciliation theme
PLAINVIEW - Joel Gregory, former pastor of First Baptist Church, Dallas and Travis Avenue Baptist Church in Fort Worth, and Chris Seay, pastor of Ecclesia in Houston, will headline the 83 rd Annual Panhandle Pastors' and Laymen's Conference slated for Feb. 23-24 at Wayland Baptist University.
Gregory will lead the Bible study portion of the two-day conference, with a focus on restoration and reconciliation. Seay will bring the messages, with an emphasis on bridging the generations in the modern church.
An active speaker, Gregory is the author of Too Great a Temptation and currently owns and publishes Chili Pepper Magazine in Fort Worth. During the late 1970s and 80s, Gregory was a regular part of the Pastors' and Laymen's Conference, leading the Bible study for 13 years consecutively.
A noted speaker on the postmodern movement in churches, Seay is the author of The Tao of Enron, The Gospel According to Tony Soprano and The Gospel Reloaded: Exploring Spirituality and Faith in The Matrix. Seay will also be leading a special lunch session for pastors on Monday at 11 a.m.
"It is our hope that those who attend this conference would receive both inspiration and information and would be encouraged to return home better equipped to do ministry for the Lord," said Charles Davenport, pastor of First Baptist Church, Tulia and conference president.
Special music will be provided by Kristi Kinsey Brown, a music evangelist based in Lakeland, Fla. Brown will also be leading a special lunch session for ladies on Monday at 11 a.m.
A special session for Hispanic pastors and laymen will be held on Monday evening at 6 p.m. in Brown Chapel on the Wayland campus. Al Guajardo, president of the Hispanic Baptist Convention of Texas, will give the message.
Another highlight of the conference will be messages by D.L. Lowrie, a retired pastor from Lubbock, and his three sons: John, who pastors in Abernathy; Steve, who pastors in Dalhart; and David, who pastors in Canyon. Area directors of missions will be helping with the program as well. Robert Black, assistant professor of music at Wayland, is coordinating the congregational singing for the event.
Registration for the conference begins at 10 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 23, with two lunch sessions beginning at 11 a.m. and the major conference session beginning at 1:30 p.m. in Harral Memorial Auditorium. Other sessions are scheduled for Monday evening at 6:15 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 24 at 9:30 a.m., Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 p.m., and Tuesday evening at 6:15 p.m. A special luncheon for area directors of missions and associates is planned for Tuesday at noon.
The conference is free and open to the public. The lunch sessions are provided by Wayland, with reservations due by Feb. 20. Interested persons may contact Micheal Summers, director of church services at WBU, to RSVP at 806-291-1165.
The event is sponsored by the following Baptist associations and areas: Amarillo Area, Caprock-Plains Area, Lubbock Area, Mitchell-Scurry association, Permian association, Red Fork association, South Plains association and Top O'Texas association. Other conference officers are Jackie Gestes, pastor of New Horizon Baptist Church of Lubbock, president-elect, and Charles Bassett, vice president emeritus of Wayland, secretary-treasurer.

USDA Faulted for Inaction on Antibiotic Resistant Salmonella Strains
Multidrug-Resistant Strains in Ground Turkey, Beef Sickened 168 in 2011
Leading consumer advocacy and public health organizations today called on the U.S. Department of Agriculture to respond to a two-year-old petitionsubmitted by the Center for Science in the Public Interest aimed at keeping antibiotic-resistantSalmonella out of the food supply. The 14 groups say that antibiotic-resistant pathogens in the food supply pose a serious risk to consumers and that the federal government must do something to stop it.*
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria in food will make foodborne illness harder to treat, according to CSPI. Today CSPI also released a report documenting 55 foodborne outbreaks caused over the years by pathogens resistant to penicillin, tetracycline, and other important drugs. Just in 2011, the last year for which data are available, three major outbreaks of Salmonella Hadar and Salmonella Heidelberg in ground turkey, and Salmonella Typhimurium in ground beef, sickened 168 and hospitalized 48, according to CSPI. Those strains, as well as SalmonellaNewport, are the strains that CSPI wants USDA to treat as adulterants, much in the way USDA considers six deadly strains of E. coli (including the O157:H7) adulterants. Currently, USDA only recalls products with those antibiotic-resistant strains of Salmonella after the products have made people sick.
The federal government already acknowledges that antibiotic-resistant pathogens in the food supply threaten to reverse medical progress, as important antibiotic drugs lose their effectiveness due to overuse. But the groups writing USDA say the agency is not doing enough to protect consumers, and hasn't even convened a public meeting to discuss the issue, let alone proposed a regulation.
"USDA ignores this issue at our collective peril," said CSPI senior food safety attorney Sarah Klein. "The evidence is clear that antibiotic-resistant pathogens in food are very dangerous for consumers, and USDA could help solve the problem by making crystal clear that it won't accept these superbugs in meat and poultry."
Besides ground meat and poultry, dairy products have also been implicated in outbreaks due to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Those three categories together are responsible for more than half of all such outbreaks. In 31 outbreaks, the pathogens were resistant to five or more drugs. While Salmonella caused the most outbreaks (48 of 55), enterotoxigenic E. coli caused five outbreaks, and resistant strains of Campylobacter jejuni and Staphylococcus aureaus caused one outbreak each.
"Antibiotic resistance isn't a hypothetical problem," said CSPI food safety research associate Susan Vaughn Grooters. "Real people are getting really sick from antibiotic-resistant pathogens in our food supply."
CSPI, The Pew Charitable Trusts, and other consumer advocacy groups have urged the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates animal drugs, to prohibit the non-therapeutic use of medically important antibiotics in food animals. CSPI first petitioned the FDA to do so in 1999. In 2011, nearly 30 million pounds of antimicrobial drugs were sold for use in food-producing animals—three times as much as were sold for use in human medicine.
*After this press release was issued, Keep Antibiotics Working signed on to the letter to Secretary Vilsack, bringing the total number of signatories to 14.

>Off the Beaten Path>Gardening Question?
This weird, I know. My husband is deploying. I thought growing a garden would be fun for the kids and I, plus fresh fruits/vegis- yummy. Here's my issue- 2 dogs (1 eats my garden), and crappy soil (I live on a beach, so it's sandy and not great for vegetables. I'm doing an elevated container garden. What fruits/vegetables work well in containers?

Feeling the growl again
You are getting a head start on our annual gardening thread.
Your best bet, as you've figured out, is to bring in soil. Whether you want to fill a bed (large volume) or use containers, both should work. Containers should lessen the watering need.
I've seen tomatoes do well in small pots if they are kept watered. Herbs as well. You could also try bush cucumbers and pole beans. We once kept a jalapeno plant dug from the garden alive in a dark basement over the winter with a grow lamp. We took it outside the next year and it produced more peppers.

Peppers, tomatoes, I have a pot for herbs on my deck. It does well. One year, I did a pizza garden with my daughter. She liked it.
have fun!
Thanks. I live in FL, and this is the best time to plant-- not so hot, but above freezing...
I have green peppers, tomatoes, and strawberries. I have two windows for planters (herbs). Two larger containers for carrots and green beans.
Prince of Fatness
I started a gardening thread for this year. It's not too early.
RE: the OP's question, as spaniel said keep your plants watered. That would probably be your greatest challenge.
... pots ... Herbs ... dark basement ... grow lamp.

Nothing remotely useful to contribute but this made me laugh.
Run Fastah 2018
Let me add spinach is crazy easy to grow in a container. Mine goes in a raised bed (and will again if this darned winter ever ends). I harvest right off the plants at mealtime and still end up with more than I can use.

Three half marathons later, I got a number. Half Fanatic #9292. :)
I bet your kids would get a kick out of the Topsy Turvy hanging planter for tomatoes - I grew red bell peppers in mine last year, and I was going to try burpless cucumbers this year. You really have to water it twice a day, though. It doesn't hold enough dirt to stay hydrated.
Faster Than Your Couch!
We've had good success with tomatoes and bell peppers in pots, not so much in the Topsy Turvy (dries out too quickly because the water tends to sink to the bottom of the container, leaving the deep roots on top to dry out).
Strawberries also work great, asparagus, and onions, and of course, all kinds of herbs. If you grow basil, thyme and oregano, you've got some of the more expensive herbs always fresh at hand and can even save some money. Sage grows well in almost any soil, too.
Run for fun.

VENICE, Fla., July 19, 2006 -- Built to withstand winds of more than 140 mph, the new "hurricane house" at the University of Florida's Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center features PGT® WinGuard® Impact-Resistant Windows and Doors, as well as other products and construction methods that meet or exceed Florida building codes. The home is one of four such houses around the state.
In the wake of devastating hurricanes during 2004 and 2005, the UF hurricane houses around the state are becoming magnets to educate builders and residents about wind loss mitigation, energy efficiency and environmentally sensitive construction, according to Pierce Jones, Director of the Florida Energy Extension Service at UF in Gainesville, Fla. Additionally, homeowners and builders are learning that hurricane mitigation can translate into lower insurance premiums.
The 3,000 square-foot house -- officially known as the Broward County Windstorm Damage Mitigation Training and Demonstration Center -- is located at 3205 College Avenue in Davie, (954) 577-6300.
Broward and Miami counties require that windows and doors are protected by either shutters or impact-resistant windows and doors and that the products have approval from Miami-Dade Building Product Control. WinGuard with aluminum frames was ideal for this house because the entire line meets these very strict requirements. In fact, PGT helped develop these protocols.
WinGuard windows and doors combine heavy-duty aluminum or vinyl frames with impact-resistant laminated glass. A special silicone glazing process helps keep the glass from breaking away from the frame. Laminated glass is constructed by bonding a tough polyvinylbutyral (PVB) interlayer between two pieces of glass under heat and pressure. Once sealed, the glass "sandwich" behaves as a single unit and is transparent, just like ordinary glass.
Upon impact from wind-borne debris or wind, laminated glass adheres to the interlayer, keeping the glass intact within the frame. The opening is not penetrated because of the strength and energy-absorbing capability of the interlayer. PGT pioneered the U.S. impact-resistant window and door industry and today is the nation's leading manufacturer and supplier of residential impact-resistant windows and doors.
PGT is also one of the largest window and door manufacturers in the United States. In its 25th year, the company employs approximately 2,400 at its 485,000-square-foot manufacturing and glass laminating and tempering plants, and delivery fleet facilities in Venice, Fla., and its 225,000-square-foot production facility in Lexington, N.C. Sold through a network of over 1,300 independent distributors, the company's total line of custom windows and doors is now available throughout the eastern United States, the Gulf Coast and in a growing international market, which includes the Caribbean, South America and Australia. PGT's product line includes PGT® Aluminum and Vinyl Windows and Doors; WinGuard® Impact-Resistant Windows and Doors; Multi-Story Series 800 Windows and Doors; and Eze-Breeze® Sliding Panels.

How Alabama and Ohio State Met in the 1978 Sugar Bowl
"You'd better get the grandfathers involved."
The look of the Sugar Bowl was changing in many ways. The football game was back on New Year's Day, with the Southeastern Conference champion automatically in one corner. Edna Engert, after 41 years of running the business office, decided to call it a career.
She had once said, "I was very involved with the piano as a young girl. My mother said I must make up my mind to either attend college and study music or take a job. I took a job and I've never regretted it. It led me to the Sugar Bowl. "The feeling was obviously mutual. This woman, who started with 37 bosses, was entrusted with command of the Sugar Bowl's nerve center for most of her tenure with the Mid-Winter Sports Association. She served well. If Fred Digby was "Mr. Sugar Bowl," Edna Egnert was the "Mrs."
As a testimonial given by her "bosses," Edna was presented with a gold charm and desk set. Until then, it was a gift reserved only for Sugar Bowl presidents.
Carl James, the 48-year-old athletic director of Duke University, was named executive director in July; but the position was again open the following year when James resigned to become Athletic Director at the University of Maryland.
Alabama and Notre Dame again seemed to be the champagne pairing for the holidays. After an early season loss to Nebraska, the Crimson Tide had developed into a potent football team. The Irish were in and out, and indeed a loss to a very weak Ole Miss seemed to knock the Notre Dame aspirations for No. 1 askew. But it was the only Irish loss.
What the pairing appeared to be riding on was a Texas defeat before November 19, the day the invitations would be issued. A loss by the No. 1 Longhorns should lift the Tide to No. 1, and Dan Devine's Fighting Irish would go wherever No. 1 went for the chance to swipe the crown.
A more likely occurrence would be Texas steaming into the Cotton Bowl with the Irish tagging behind, and Michigan edging Ohio State in the Big Ten's annual showdown. That would send Michigan to Pasadena and the co-champion Buckeyes looking for other vacancies on New Year's. Since the Big Ten and Pac-Eight had broken their Rose-only binds, their representatives had played in other bowls, though not in New Orleans.
Notre Dame was more desirable, but the novelty of a Big Ten team in the Sugar Bowl was intriguing-particularly if it were a game between Coach Bear Bryant, with 270 victories, and Coach Woody Hayes, with 231 victories, the biggest winners on football's active roster. It was interesting also to ponder the insurance the Sugar had with the SEC tie-up. Without it, Bryant surely would have been angling for a No. 1 showdown.
In spite of being generally outplayed, Michigan somehow beat Ohio State. The fiery Hayes, gentleman and history scholar off the field and occasional firebrand on the field, slugged an ABC cameraman in the game's final moments. Hayes' temper had become part of football lore and New Orleans braced for it.
Alabama and Ohio State were 3rd and 8th in the polls at the time of the selections. The Tide's wishbone gained 416.7 yards a game, the 11th best offense nationally. Ohio State was 14th with 413.8 yards a game and 2nd in rushing with 321.2 yards. On the opposite side of the ledger, the Buckeyes gave up only 230.8 yards a game (7th nationally) while 'Bama surrendered 252 yards. Sprinkled on the Buckeye roster were names like Pete Johnson (fullback), Chris Ward (tackle), Ron Springs (tailback), and Tom Cousineau (linebacker). Alabama had names like Ozzie Newsome (receiver), Jeff Rutledge (quarterback), and Tony Nathan (running back).
The only names the press seemed interested in were Bryant and Hayes. The growl vs. the scowl was the way in the New Orleans press painted the game.
"I don't know why you people keep making such a big deal over Woody Hayes and Paul Bryant," rasped the Bear. "I can assure you that I'm not going to play…and I hope Woody does." Hayes made a case for the vintage years. "When (Egyptian President Anwar) Sadat and (Israeli Prime Minister Menachem) Begin got together. If you want a good contest or a good agreement, you'd better get the grandfathers involved."
Even the players got into the act. Springs said, "This is a game between Bear Bryant and Woody Hayes. They are the two best coaches of all time. We (Ohio State) wouldn't want to say we play for the second-best coach."
Gil Le Breton, who covered Ohio State for the Times-Picayune, however, believed the Buckeyes were priming themselves for a tumble. "They found a ready-made excuse and used it," said LeBreton, referring to an Ohio State feeling that the Buckeyes rightfully belonged in Pasadena as the undisputed Big Ten champion.
A victory and a Texas loss could put 'Bama on the top of the polls. Ohio State was trying to redeem itself for two losses and a conference co-championship instead of a national championship.
"Coach Hayes has been saying all along that there's one more great game left in this team," said Aaron Brown. "This has got to be the one." Springs added, "We really felt this was the best Ohio State team we've had here in a while. Those Oklahoma and Michigan losses were just so disappointing. They kinda all stay on our mind." In a way I'm glad we're playing Alabama. It's like a second chance for us."
Story excerpted from the book "Sugar Bowl Classic: A History" by Marty Mulé, who covered the game and the organization for decades for the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Sharapova through after struggle
Maria Sharapova overcame a second-set wobble to book her place in the fourth round of the Australian Open after beating 25th seed Alize Cornet.
Sharapova looked to be showing no ill-effects of her near three-and-a-half-hour epic against Karin Knapp in baking hot temperatures last time out, as she took the first set against her French opponent inside 32 minutes in much cooler weather in Melbourne on Saturday.
But the Russian visibly wilted as the match went on, wasting two opportunities to serve out for the match, and appeared to be running on empty before eventually coming through 6-1 7-6 (8/6).
The 2008 champion barely broke sweat in racing into a 4-0 first-set lead, with Cornet's tentative approach playing straight into Sharapova's hands.
Cornet fired a forehand long to go a break down and there would be no let up as she found herself 15-40 behind in her next service game, with Sharapova clinically sealing the double break.
Cornet did get on the scoreboard, but the 23-year-old then dropped her own serve to love before third seed Sharapova wrapped up the first set in 32 minutes.
Cornet buried her face in her towel at the change of ends and came out firing at the beginning of the second set, fighting back from 0-40 down in the third game to hold serve after several uncharacteristic errors from Sharapova.
She made Sharapova pay for her lapse by going a break up with a lovely backhand half-volley at the net, but she could not consolidate and lost the next three games.
Sharapova first broke to love and in Cornet's next service game, two excellent forehand winners put the four-time grand slam champion in control.
The 26-year-old could not convert her first match point on Cornet's serve and then failed to serve it out, to the delight of the Rod Laver Arena crowd.
Sharapova sealed yet another break with some positive intent but once again, she could not hold her own serve and the chance to seal victory went begging.
The tiebreak followed the pattern of the second set, with the players exchanging several mini-breaks, but it was Cornet who had the first opportunity at 6/5 ahead, only for Sharapova to level proceedings.
Cornet then put two successive forehands long as Sharapova eventually got over the line.

A slumpbuster is defined as "something way below your normal standards that you know you can win at." You take what you can get to get back in the game. That's todays game vs Columbus in a nutshell. And its a matinee too. *yawns*
To the casual fan a game like this could be described as "skippable" and "probably boring." But not here among the OilersNation hardcore who live and die with every match – even a puzzling pair of afternoon matches in a single weekend must be watched from start to finish.
Its well known that the Oilers have a 0-1,235 record in matinee games in franchise history.* They are usually emotionless affairs that are forgotten quickly afterwards. That will probably be the case today too – Columbus is still probably seething from losing to the Mighty Oil in the Draft Lottery last year but are too toothless to do anything about it.
Coming in stone cold the Oil have to lay a beatdown on the hapless Blue Jackets today. Oilers fans have watched the last 10 days or so frozen in horror. Will this be another year where we have to make up slogans to give some sizzle to the annual tank campaign?
Or will the Oil catch fire and climb back into playoff contention? A serious beatdown of the Blue Jackets getting things back on track is exactly what the doctor ordered. Then another pantsing back in Edmonton next game too.
Losing this match is not an option.
We have no idea what the lines are today. You want lines? Ask Jason Gregor. We shoot from the hip son – not from the brain. Here are the lines from last game, lets just pretend they will be the same for the sake of argument. It's not like lines last very long when you are trying to play your way out of a losing streak anyways.
Eager-Vande Velde-Petrell
This too is the domain of an expert like Jason Gregor but he INSISTS they are included in all GDBs even ones he can't write as he is in Calgary calling the Rush game. How the heck are we supposed to predict what's going to happen. HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW DAMMIT?
Here goes.
GAME DAY PREDICTION: Oilers dust Columbus 6-2. The Nuge breaks out with a pair of goals and celebrates with ice cream on the way home from the rink.
OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: Within 5 minutes of the telecast starting some announcer will say "Imagine Yakupov was a Blue Jacket?" picking the lowest hanging fruit on the proverbial branch early.
NOT-SO-OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: Steve Tambellini runs into Scott Howson in the press box prior to the game. Tambellini flashes his trademark smug grin recalling besting Howson at the Draft Lottery last summer. Howson – knowing his days as a GM are numbered – dissolves into tears and curses Tambo at the top of his lungs. History will remember neither man.
*Or worse even, where would you even look something like this up?

Just in time for the birthday of the nation that was founded on the decimation of its native inhabitants, Johnny Depp leaps onto 3,700 theaters across the United States as Tonto, that mothballed stereotype of American Indians, in Disney's theatrical reboot of "The Lone Ranger."
Hi-yo, controversy!
Or not. Last year the president of the nonprofit group Americans for Indian Opportunity adopted Depp into her family and tribe as a gesture of goodwill. The film's Comanche consultant endorses the final product. Depp says his great-grandmother was Cherokee, or Creek, or something, and promised to "reinvent" the character of Tonto for 21st-century moviegoers.
So no big deal, right?
Yes and no, says Paul Chaat Smith, associate curator at the National Museum of the American Indian and author of "Everything You Know About Indians Is Wrong."
"It's more important to us than it should be," he says. "I don't know what other minority group takes so personally or invests so much of their hopes in a commercial vehicle. I used to think it's a bad thing and I just wanted us to get over it and say, 'Christ, it's just a movie. Have fun or don't see it or whatever.' But it does then become a conversation — the amount of calls the museum is getting about ['The Lone Ranger'], for example — and therefore it's an opportunity to advance the conversation."
Volume and visibility are hallmarks of a summer blockbuster. So when an A-list movie star represents a people who still feel unseen and unheard by the rest of the country, does it matter that he's using that affected, halting Tonto accent?
How seriously do we ponder the kernels of truth (and fiction) inside the buttery popcorn?
"The bottom line is that Tonto is probably the only Indian that a lot of Americans are going to meet," says Theodore Van Alst, who directs Yale College's Native American Cultural Center and has studied the depiction of Indians in film.
Which is part of the reason that the first "Lone Ranger" publicity photos landed with a thud on the Internet when they were released more than a year ago. The consensus was that Depp's hair and makeup — inspired by the work of a non-Native painter — were a blend of stereotypes, and creepily derivative of his Captain Jack Sparrow from "Pirates of the Caribbean." Such images confine Indians to history or the imagination rather than establish them in day-to-day America, says Adrienne Keene, who has written critical pieces about the pre-release publicity of "The Lone Ranger" on her blog Native Appropriations.
"It starts to feel even more like blackface, more like a costume, like masking the race," says Keene, 27, a Harvard University PhD student who's researching Natives and the college application process. "Even if the image had been authentic, I think it still would've made me uncomfortable. Because then it's 'authentic to what'? To what time period? To what community?"
From the earliest days of each medium, cinema and television cemented a certain characterization of Native Americans. Cecil B. DeMille directed three different versions of "The Squaw Man" — about a Native woman who marries a British aristocrat and commits suicide — between 1914 and 1931. John Ford's westerns depicted the American frontier as a manifest destiny for honorable white settlers in the '30s, '40s and '50s, while "The Lone Ranger" established the notion of the Indian as a sidekick, first on the radio in 1933 and then on TV from 1949 through 1957 with Jay Silverheels in the role of Tonto.
A half-century later, with blow-'em-up action producer Jerry Bruckheimer steering the project, Tonto isn't even played by a Native actor; one would argue that there aren't any who could carry a $200 million-plus movie and its inevitable sequels. Though Yale's Van Alst offers Adam Beach, star of 1998 independent movie "Smoke Signals" and Clint Eastwood's "Flags of Our Fathers," as the likeliest candidate.
"There are very few popcorn movies where Native people are represented on-screen, [and] there's no contemporary portrayals," Van Alst says. "It's always 1890 and if you don't look like Graham Greene coming down the plains in full war bonnet, you're not a real Indian."
This "Lone Ranger" begins and ends in a flash-forward, with an elderly Tonto installed in a carnival diorama behind a sign that reads "The Noble Savage." Yet the rest of the movie clearly portrays the white man as the savage: Railroad barons violate treaties, prospectors seize land and pillage minerals, and the Indians shake their heads and try to minimize the damage and conflict.
"The creative choices made Tonto — one of the most famous sidekicks in the history of sidekicks — the center of the movie, and demoted the white hero on his white horse into Tonto's less-skilled, less-bright, less-brave, less-everything sidekick," e-mails Paul Chaat Smith, the museum curator, after seeing the movie last week. "So all the things I don't like about 'The Lone Ranger' — the loudness, the slapstick humor, the kitchen-sink treatment of history, the deranged mood swings, making Tonto Comanche, moving Texas to New Mexico — they can be seen as requirements to fill multiplexes in service of the larger goal, which could be to make an Indian character a Hollywood superstar."
Such exposure may prompt the public to explore the real-life issues and achievements of present-day Native peoples, says LaDonna Harris, the founder of Americans for Indian Opportunity who arranged Depp's adoption into the Comanche tribe — a common gesture of goodwill and inclusiveness. (The Crow Nation adopted then-Sen. Barack Obama in 2008.)
"There were a lot of complaints that he could've been [played by] an Indian, true, but then it wouldn't have gotten the visibility that Johnny Depp could give it," says Harris, who lives in Albuquerque. "I think there hasn't been enough change and ability to have more knowledge about Native Americans because of the way we're incorporated in the history books. . . . We don't study American history. We study Europeans coming to the Americas."
This unreconciled history dehumanizes an entire people and hollows out a space in the public consciousness that is then filled with stereotype, Van Alst says. The culture creates a character like Tonto, or a mascot like the Redskins, which two out of three Washingtonians say should remain the name of the football team. Exposure to such mascots has a harmful impact on American Indian students' feelings of personal and community worth, according to a 2008 study titled "Of Warrior Chiefs and Indian Princesses" and published in Basic and Applied Social Psychology.
What about exposure to Johnny Depp as a Comanche, in a performance that seems to both bolster and dismantle the Tonto stereotype?
This remains to be seen, but perhaps a better question to ask is: What films are being made by American Indians with American Indians about contemporary American Indians?
Van Alst points to the filmmaking community in Albuquerque, whose collaborative dynamic reminds him of Paris during the Nouvelle Vague. And for those who would rather not pay $10-plus to see an 80-year-old, cowboys-and-Indians story in a multiplex this week, he has recommendations of up-and-coming Native directors to check out: Steven Paul Judd, Melissa Henry, Blackhorse Lowe, Brian Young, Trevino Brings Plenty, Jeff Barnaby and Jason Asenap.
"Look, at the end of the day this is a grand opportunity, for not only Comanches but also Indian country in general," Asenap wrote about "The Lone Ranger" last year on Indian Country Today Media Network. "As an independent filmmaker, I welcome the notion that Depp will now keep in mind his new Comanche family and additionally, who knows, maybe he can make contributions in some way to Native film. Stranger things have happened."

Canadians Realizing That Their Websites Will Get Swept Up By SOPA Censorship
from the narrowly-targeted? dept
It defines "domestic Internet Protocol addresses" — the numeric strings that constitute the actual address of a website or Internet connection — as "an Internet Protocol address for which the corresponding Internet Protocol allocation entity is located within a judicial district of the United States."I'm sure supporters of the bill don't mind a little unintended consequences hitting the Canadians, but as a sovereign nation that probably would prefer that other countries don't start poking around with our own sliver of the internet, running roughshod over foreign websites (while pretending they're domestic) seems like setting a dangerous precedent.
Yet IP addresses are allocated by regional organizations, not national ones. The allocation entity located in the U.S. is called ARIN, the American Registry for Internet Numbers. Its territory includes the U.S., Canada and 20 Caribbean nations. This bill treats all IP addresses in this region as domestic for U.S. law purposes.
To put this in context, every Canadian Internet provider relies on ARIN for its block of IP addresses. In fact, ARIN even allocates the block of IP addresses used by federal and provincial governments. The U.S. bill would treat them all as domestic for U.S. law purposes.

Mystery Monday: A First Communion Portrait: who is this tiny boy?
This photograph was among the effects left by my Great-aunt Mary 'Mollie' Magee Halpin. It is thought to be one of the Geraghty children, my father or one of his brothers, but who? I have compared it to other photographs of my father around this time, and I cannot be sure that it is him because my dad does not appear to have had the same prominent ears as this little lad. Also, I have the First Communion portrait of my father's elder brother Patrick, so I know it is not him. Whoever it is, I think it is a sweet photo.
Mystery solved: This little boy is my father's brother Enda. Enda suffered from polio when he was a child, so the big boots (and an unseen crutch) enabled him to walk.

What a serious little face - and big boots!ReplyDelete
I am taken back by his small stature, large boots, and short pants! I guess I was not aware that boys wore short pants past about 4 or 5 years of age. He sure does not look much older, 6, maybe 7?? Very interesting photo.ReplyDelete

What a wonderful photo!ReplyDelete
I do hope you find out who he was - he is so appealing with his serious face, dressy clothes ... and those boots and ears!ReplyDelete

On October 12, 2010, Einstein's Technology Development Program was publicly introduced to the Einstein community in the second installment of the Science & Business series, entitled Investing in the Development of Einstein's Technologies. It was co-presented by Richard Kosman (director of Einstein's office of business development) and Dr. Victor L. Schuster (Chair of Einstein's department of medicine).
Mr. Richard Kosman
In the presentation, the new Technology Development Program and the program's financial (and other) support of Dr. Schuster's prostaglandin transporter (PGT) technology were described in detail. Mr. Kosman and Dr. Schuster took turns presenting such concepts as the need for the program, the history of the PGT technology and the investment selection process of the program. The pair concluded the presentation by sharing the exciting commercial and scientific successes that have resulted from the program's support of the PGT technology.
Dr. Victor L. Schuster The audience, consisting of Einstein faculty, researchers and staff, learned about the challenges academic institution technology transfer offices experience finding commercial partners for the "early-stage"opportunities that are frequently discovered and developed on academic campuses. Mr. Kosman discussed the benefits of supporting the development of certain technology licensing opportunities so that they may become more attractive to commercial partners who have the capabilities to further develop the technologies and to bring them to market, allowing the underlying Einstein research advancements ultimately to benefit the public. Mr. Kosman then described the proactive steps Einstein's office of business development takes to implement the program and the selection process used — which includes the methodology used by life sciences investment banking corporate finance teams to determine which technologies are worthy of investment and extensive third-party commercial participation. For the life sciences investment banking methodology component, Mr. Kosman reviewed the relevant characteristics and criteria used by life sciences investment banking corporate finance teams that he discussed in February's Science & Business presentation.
Left to right: Mr. John Harb, Dr. Victor L. Schuster, Mr. Richard KosmanDr. Schuster was the first Einstein faculty member to benefit from the program, since his PGT technology was selected as the program's inaugural "investment." In the presentation, Dr. Schuster outlined the progression of his research, beginning with the identification of PGT as a prostaglandin transporter in 1995, followed by the physiological characterization of PGT. Approximately ten years later, Yuling (Julia) Chi, Ph.D. (currently an assistant professor in the department of medicine, but at the time of this research working as a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Schuster's lab), identified a series of PGT inhibitors in collaboration with medicinal chemists at another NYC institution. Scientifically, this development was exciting, as these compounds helped provide proof-of-concept data on the potential therapeutic benefits of PGT inhibition. However, as Dr. Schuster noted, the inhibitors lacked the medicinal chemistry properties necessary for them to be considered "druglike" molecules. Help was still needed to advance these compounds.
Dr. Schuster and Mr. Kosman discussed the successful results of the program from a scientific and a commercial point of view, which included the creation of more-potent and optimized inhibitor compounds that were subsequently licensed to a third-party entrepreneur, who formed a start-up company around the PGT inhibitor portfolio. Mr. Kosman concluded the presentation by reminding the audience of the importance of disclosing new inventions to the office of biotechnology (without Dr. Schuster's original disclosure there would have been no basis for support under the program) and the objective of the program — to advance Einstein's technology licensing opportunities so that they may become more attractive to potential commercial partners and to increase the likelihood that they will be licensed, developed and made available to the public. Finally, Mr. Kosman pointed out to the audience that the program has catalyzed and will continue to catalyze the development of products that could benefit patients in the local community, in the United States, and throughout the world.
The second installment of the Science & Business series was presented to the Einstein community on October 12, 2010. John Harb (assistant dean of scientific operations and director of Einstein's office of biotechnology) took the lead in presenting the two main speakers for the presentation: Richard Kosman (director of Einstein's office of business development) and Dr. Victor L. Schuster (chair of Einstein's department of medicine).
