On the Street....Alessandra, Milano
I would have to use terms like sexy, approachable, androgynous, playful. Funny how someones personality can actually become their style. Sounds simply but it isn't.

It's funny how she can be so androgynous and yet overtly sexy at the same time
denim skirt and stilettos?!
you'd never think it works but it looks interesting and great!
The Sartorialist is my favourite blog everr :)
Check out my blog:
S'enlaidir à ce point, c'est de l'art ...
Fun, she looks totally approachable.
the epitome of personal style, because the style and the personality are one.
Love the look! And I'm sooo in love with the shoes! Really love it! :)
you are right!, yes, she is beautiful, I mean it, beautiful.
makes me rethink my hatred for denim skirts...
also, awesome shoes.
those shoes again, but they work better in a monochromatic ensemble.
She is actually wearing those high heels on the street! A plus for Alessandra!
she's so playful. oh, and i love those ysls
fantastic, absolutely perfect, so sexy, so elegant, so mysterious, so friendly... she is totally amazing.
oh she looks amazing! love the jacket, the skirt and those shoes!!! so beautiful. xx
that's true. from my experience for such person it is really terrible if you have to wear something like uniform in your everyday life, because of your job requirements..
It's a really cool outfit! I fond of her hair and bag and shoes ;D!
There is just something about this girl, so looks soo gorgeous and playful
love her. those heels are serious!! she wears it all very well.
I love how the pocket pop out over her legs!
Love how her outfit moves from boyish & androgynous to very female and sexy.
to me she truely is an inspiring fashion icon!!
I like the way you describe it...
Love the tights! I can never find a pair that are fully opaque, but she seems to have done it! The dark nail polish is great, too.
I just love how she makes her look so easy.Flawless!!
ahh my fave person that u photograph, and what a surprise to see her in those HIGH heels - looks amazing ofcourse, as does every look she puts together.
awesome style items from all over the world: http://inspireddzine.com
O.M.G. Alessandra in HEELS?! Everytime you think you have her style down to a T, she busses out of it. love it! definitely a welcomed surprise.
I'm blown away by this woman--how she can pull off androgyny so perfectly and then this! Stilettos! With a jean skirt! Amazing. This made my day.
The Barbour / country overtones of the jacket work really well against the denim / workwear skirt.
I just bought Barbour to go with really tailored skinny Prince of Wales trousers, to try to get the same effect, but somehow I'm not pulling it off so well :-/
It's a given her smile is heart-melting but it detracts from those amazing hands -- the most elegant, long & beautiful fingers! Incredible.
Also a sucker for turned in, geek-feet pose.
Is that a hat in my hand? I'm wondering whether she was wearing her hat & pulled it off before the pic...& if so, was she blasé enough not to care about hat head!? I like the idea she didn't care to rearrange her hair, almost as much as I like the thought of her primping her hair hurriedly before the pose.
i really like alessandra's style since the first time you featured her! she's just so chic and adventurous, with a bit androgynous touch. i'm totally diggin her style here!!
Love everything about the outfit, especially the proportions and the endless legs achieved by the high heels and leggings in the same tone. The one flaw IMHO are the pockets popping out underneath the cut-offs, but love the rest! Jorge from WPB
Love her legs :)
leggy girl!!
It´s weird, isn´t it?
I like her haircut.
True, she looks like her style became her or vice versa :)
It is not easy to achieve.
It's the hair!!!
Stilosa e sicura di se, come sempre! NICE
Oh my, i never though denim-skirt can look so great, it was always too cheap for me. But this really rocks!
I love the nail varnish- and the hand of course.
Can't see that the stilettos are her style.
She looks amazing,so confident and so sexy!She has greeat leggs!I agree with Bamto, she is an inspiring fashion icon...
I love Alessandra's style!! :)
I love how the top is so different than the bottom but somehow they go so well together. amazing.
Alessandra only seemed to wear flat shoes and trousers, but she looks so amazing in a mini skirt and stilettos! I never really liked the way a denim mini-skirt looked on the female figure, especially with the "Abercrombie and Fitch" aesthetic, but I love the way Alessandra's style makes me reconsider this. This outfit is fabulous!
OK, long time reader and a big fan of this blog, but I think this is a hot mess. This outfit is not even in the same league as her leather jacket, baggy trousers ensemble that she wore in a shot a few months back (in Paris I think). I think sometimes readers get a little starstruck and a little sycophantic here. If this were a shot of someone in a mall in some backwater American town, and she were wearing the same thing, we'd certainly not be praising her style, or her proportions, or her playful androgyny. The context of the blog, the photos, and the backdrop too, all contribute to making this outfit better than it is.
I'm not saying that these elements (jacket, shoes, haircut) don't have merit. And it doesn't hurt that she's got terrific cheekbones and a terrific body. But the combo, for me, doesn't work.
you're right, her style seems simple, but it isn'it!
I like this style
I *love* the exposed pockets.
how about garconne?
that was what came to my mind the moment i saw this picture...
Never would consider denim and stockings but must say im impressed..i adore her shoes x
I love it!!
i like your photos so much!!! sorry if i make mistakes writting, cause Im from Colombia. i really like her style. i wanna have it!
is that a fur neckwrap under her jacket?
I love how her shoes contrast with the rest of the outfit.
Let's grow up later
Androgynous, sexy, perfect!
Never been a fan of those leather jackets, never been a fan of denim skirts...then how come I love this outfit so much!
Love the monotone leggings and shoes combo. I mean, damn, just look at those legs haha!
She knows how to use those shoes to her advantage! Great shoes!!
Alessandra seems a good person to know. Liked her skirt, funny but very sexy. (:
She's an adorable girl and I really think she looks great here, except for the pockets sticking out under her skirt. I don't quite get that trend.
Long legs and heels. Doesn't get much better. Love her hair.
I love how that skirt (especially with the stilettos) would look too short/ sexy/ trying too hard on others, but not on her.
Nah. I think you missed on this one. Quirky style, yes. But this girl looks like a dude. Specifically the dude in the Apple commercials (if he dressed up as a clown). Everyone above is just being nice. Approachable doesn't mean "sexy" or "hot". In fact, unapproachable is way hotter.
I love mini denim skirts with a pair of sexy stilettos and she is pulling it off gloriously. The jacket is beautiful and the dark nail polish makes it sexier.
I love Alessandra's more feminine side.
I'm always so happy to see photos you've taken of Alessandra! She is such a beautiful woman! I've come to your blog many times to find pictures of her for inspiration w/my own style. Her legs are amazing and that smile lights up the page! Beautiful!! Thank you.
She always looks amazing and cute! I love the shoes and skirt together!
I think there's a strong correlation between personality and style. There's no denying that she's impeccably dressed, so I can only imagine what she's like as a person! haha
the definition of "legs for miles."
Once more, a winning smile is the best accessory!
what a combination! never would have thought of a a skirt like that with those shoes. her happy smile and cure nails just finsish her look :) i'm very much inspuired
Nice girl! Simple, pretty and fun look. (pockets = awful though)
She looks like a fun sweet person. I do not see her clothes, I see her.
her heels!!!
I love her style more than anyone else's you have featured on here. She definitely lets her personality speak through her clothes. Amazing!
oh my god! some Italian girls forgot all about elegance!
Love the combination with the heels!
Love the look but wish she would flip her skirt down one roll...or at least cut out the pockets. Hate pocket showage!
Great great style with boyfriend trousers or this amazing denim skirt
seriously love this outfit, and i neeeeed this jacket. does anyone know who makes it?
your description is perfect! playful and androgynous, but super sexy and so perfectly casual. I love this look! Her legs look fantastic too!
I like her style, but I don't understand the giant shoes trend.
Stylish people know how to make the most of their best feature and this girl is certainly working hers!
I like this overall look but I find the pockets linings sticking out of the bottom of her skirt to be a bit distracting.
It seems like the wrong head and hair sitting atop that killer outfit, and it seems wrong of me to say it.
The whole ensemble works. Love the black tights (great legs) and the shoes are fabulous. Not everyone could pull it off, but she does.
I love those shoes. On the bottom half she looks feminine, on the top half a bit more masculine. xo
i hate the pockets. a britney spears thing... otherwise ace.
she seems really happy. love the hair.
great thought scott. love ur insight.
Interesting combo...I'd like it better if the denim skirt was not rolled up. The pockets hanging out kind of throw the whole look off for me.
She mixes masculine and feminine pieces SO well and makes it look sexy.
This is a good look for her. I never thought denim and black tights/shoes would work! I like it --- especially the little pockets peaking out and the upturned hem of the skirt.
Her style is so uniquely hers, and she's the kind of women who a creative type could inspire a lifetime of musings!
she ahs amazing style and that jacket is to die for!
OMG! I scrolled down, and then those legs just kept coming and coming.
She still looks casual even with those heels!
Maria x
I love her shoes and she seems so happy i like it :)
i love her.
She can only pull this off because not only of her personality, but also her built. A curvatious woman dressed like this would seem vulgar.
Wow you look fantastic in those pictures! I don't think that everyone could pull off those outfits like you can though :)
like it a lot, makes me smile
this is superb.
Sorry, not digging the pockets hanging out from the skirt. I don't care what your age or shape, that skirt is just too short.
by far one of my favorite people you photograph. the image of her seems so honest...her outfits always seem to be a manifestation of her true authentic self. and yes, wowzers at that rolled denim skirt.
this is a really fun one to scroll down on, on your computer screen, and be surprised by! bike messenger from the waist up, bike messenger's dream from the waist down. weird and wonderful!
The beautiful combination of "boyish" figure and sexy style. This makes her uniqe. And of course her shoes are unforgetable:)
the skirt, tights and heels make her legs look like they go one for miles. just gorgeous!
interesting commentary. i love the height of her high heels.
Oh my! The combination of the skirt length with the black tights and shoes, makes her legs go on FOR-ever! Looks amazing!
I think that she needs her own section on you blog, her style is great and she is a pretty person
when ever I see her photos, it makes me smile. Her style is so effortless and she always looks like she's on cloud 9
ALWAYS loved a black stocking with a black heel! BOOM BOOYAH!
I can't believe nobody has mentioned this already. The suffering she must be enduring in those shoes. They're absolutely terrible from a physiological standpoint. The human foot was not engineered to be stuffed inside those coffins.
This is the price people pay for fashion and I understand that. I just can't help feeling sorry for her.
she's very lovely... and I love those legs!!!
i'm afraid the stilettos are making her head look small. those shoes are really not doing it for me, i can understand the mixing of the sexes thing, but why would you want to walk on needles for that? folding up the skirt is certainly interesting, without the pockets showing of course. one less fold of the skirt, and it might have worked. i do like the jacket. her earlier outfit was killer, well put together and proportional.
What an interesting combination.I can't say it's my favorite... The Sartorialist however is a lovely blog. Thank you for sharing all of the beautiful pictures.
I love Alessandra! After seeing her previous pictures, I couldn't imagine her in high heels, but here she pulls them off effortlessly without losing her androgynous style, and looking, as usual, very sexy.
Love the pockets being longer than the skirt!
You've captured her perfectly. Of course...
I completely agree. You usually wouldn't mix the words androgynous and sexy in the same sentence but this is suprisingly so. Love the shoes! Great look
i can't help but wonder what happens with the skirt if she's walking around or sits down. would it come unrolled. maybe it's sewn up like that...
does anyone know where those shoes are from?
Ah...those lovely YSLs. Love it! Wish I owned a pair.
She has great style - people where I luve cannot pull that off. It's the culture.
- I love her!
Her hair reminds me of an old man with a toupee. But somehow it works on her!
This girl has got style a mile long. The short skirt, the leggings and shoes in the same color all make her legs look a mile long too. She looks great!
I have a similar skirt I've been wearing lately. Paired with the jacket and shirt makes it more masculine and lessens that hoochie edge.
All I can say is wow! I've seen all her shots on this site, and not one has been outdone by anyone...
she's an inspiration to both male and female dressers. you wear your personality: who you are.
7 WOWWW FOR THE SHOES ! ( and the legs ^^ )
lovely, as always!
You're a wonderful writer! "Simply" should be "simple," (that's the editor in me) but what a beautiful way to sum her up in a few sentences.
she's sassy and she has a great set of pins.
That hair is too mannish. Everything from the neck down is OK, but she looks like a boy. If she had her hair in a feminine pixie style it would be much better.
she is so adorable. like a stylish toddler. she just makes you want to laugh with her.
she reminds me so much of the pilot amelia earhart..beautiful!
Magnificent! Love the shoes, the hair, the skirt, the total look.
LOVE the shoes. The whole look is great.
She's beautiful.
I really enjoy the black tights and this great denim mini. I usually despise denim skirts but she makes it look so cool and new.
She is always creative and original, such covetable style.
Shortie denim skirt? Noooooooo...!
She is fantastic.
I love the skirt! I'm going to make me one.
it did take me by surprise when scrolling down to find those stilettos!
i have always loved Alessandra's androgynous style but i have to be honest this time the wide rolled up hem is almost a pain to look at. when i say "pain" i mean "too bad it's just that one flaw".
love those legs
Lovely. The details here are great- the pockets especially!
She is the epitome of modern style for me right now! I have been ogling her in the previous posts and pouring over each of them revenously. Her look is always so playful and fresh yet grown up and i've actually run out the door to find pieces in a similar vein. And then to discover a new one today! What joy and what a smile...
She is beautifull.
Not only very sexy but her whole attitude is glowing.
i love alessandra!
Anyone know who the jackets is by?
Great skirt! I love the sticking-out-pockets look.
This is just fantastic, is she married:)?
How amazing she is, killer outfit
Even with the legs and shoes, the thing that pulls this all together and makes it work is her great smile :)
She has a natural beauty that you captured well!
Stop by and see me on the Wall of Jewels!
She is my favorite! Keep covering the ineffable Alessandra...
original and inspiring.
I want to see more of her.
I like her mix of No Wave and YSL.
I think women like her definitely balance out the platform wearing, fur adorned, overdressed "fashionistas". Her style seems quirky, casual, smart, androgynous, overall understandable and I really like her. She definitely inspires me
and I'd like to know who she is.
Does anyone have a clue?
i love the way she's smiling,and it still looks stylish, posh, and fashionforward. alot of fashionable people today just don't smile in photography shots ....a smile is a fashion statement in itself. she's very gorgeous.
visit my up and coming blog
i love your blog!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this shot. She seems genuinely happy. Her legs are already endless but her ability to wear heels makes them actually go on forever. Beautiful shot.
i am a guy who in love with shoes, and her shoes can make any man feel so tempted to stare at her..she looks sexy with that shoes
i love the pictures of the older man! some old men are sooo awsome!!
Mini Mouse!!! Love it.
This sort of personal confidence is of the utmost importance. When considering culture and all that goes into its creation there is nothing more important than the self expression of such personalities.
What's her name? Is she a fashion editor or smth? love sartorialist so much...best pictures that show the best style of people
Splendid! Very sexy in a masculine yet soft way.
love everything except the pockets.
She's very pretty! I like much
I love how her YSLs and long legs draw your attention first making you really appreciate the entire look.
lovely lovely jacket!
looking a touch more feminine than we usually see alessandra. she always looks fantastic.
i'm surprised by the heels but the pockets peeking out give this outfit a lovely personal touch.
it's official; i'm in love.
Beautiful lady, beautiful clothes and an even more beautiful smile.
I think she is incredibly dull and overated and not even heels like that could make her look like more of a woman
It all looks simple and casual, then keep spotting different interesting things going on, but it still looks effortless - that's class isn't it!
hot legs. and excellent black nail polish.
I love this look, her hair cut and dark color nails really make it complete.
let's not drink the kool aid people - the pockets sticking out are just silly
yes her personality def shines!!! she manages to look cool without holding back her smiles/innocent expressions!!!
love the look.....great shooooooz!
I love her so much... If she appears wearing nothing i would say she is amazing anyway..... those heels breaks all the androginy masculine style weve been seein lately..... i see somethin la roux ish... on her semblant.... this pic's vibe is great... rock on
I can look at her for hours without blinking. No, no ordinary words can describe her.
Interesting style but this is a man, the proportions are male.
Always perfect!
real good!!
I love this girl and the photos you take of her! She has great style.
i just LOVE her shoes! <3
I like to see leggings under mini-skirts. Looks sexy without being too slutty. (Not that I really mind girls dressing slutty.) Besides the shoes, the outfit looks fun. The shoes are nice, they just seem too serious. And I think the pockets are cute.
She has the most amazing hands...
I think this are YSL shoes. Great style, as always.
this outfit is perfection!
LOOK AT THOSE FUCKIN' SHOES, MAN! Seriously, the silhouette of the black tights/black shoes makes this outfit for me. Awesome.
I love her shoes!
this looked so British! NICE!
Amazing shoes =)
I really love this girl!
I´ve seen her several times in your blog and she always look so sexy and sofistcated.
I agree with you about her style, how can you describe it? I can´t. But I like it.
Kind regards.
it's like perfume... "funny how someones personality can actually become their [perfume]" :-)
I LOVE this girl. She always looks so completely attractive managing to shine through that thin veil of androgyny. very sexy, although this time the pockets are too underwear malfunction looking and in that role they are too well placed iykwim
style factor= brilliant! Love her preppy boyish look, the hair is fabulous!
looong legs..
Love this look!!!!

July 2012
Originally published on UChicago News
The University of Chicago is an institution fully committed to the creation of knowledge across the spectrum of disciplines and professions, firm in its belief that a culture of intense inquiry and informed argument generates lasting ideas, and that the members of its community have a responsibility both to challenge and to listen. Geoffrey R. Stone, Edward H. Levi Distinguished Service Professor of Law and former Provost of the University, captures this ethos in his July 2012 statement of the aspirations of the University of Chicago:
Eighty years ago, a student organization at the University of Chicago invited William Z. Foster, the Communist Party's candidate for President, to lecture on campus. This triggered a storm of protest from critics both on and off campus. To those who condemned the University for allowing the event, University President Robert M. Hutchins responded that "our students . . . should have freedom to discuss any problem that presents itself." He insisted that the "cure" for ideas we oppose "lies through open discussion rather than through inhibition." On a later occasion, Hutchins added that "free inquiry is indispensable to the good life, that universities exist for the sake of such inquiry, [and] that without it they cease to be universities."
This incident captures both the spirit and the promise of the University of Chicago. Because the University is committed to free and open inquiry in all matters, it guarantees all members of the University community the broadest possible latitude to speak, write, listen, challenge and learn. Except insofar as limitations on that freedom are necessary to the functioning of the University, the University of Chicago fully respects and supports the freedom of all students, faculty and staff "to discuss any problem that presents itself," free of interference.
This is not to say that this freedom is absolute. In narrowly-defined circumstances, the University may properly restrict expression, for example, that violates the law, is threatening, harassing, or defamatory, or invades substantial privacy or confidentiality interests. Moreover, the University may reasonably regulate the time, place and manner of expression to ensure that it does not disrupt the ordinary activities of the University.
Fundamentally, however, the University is committed to the principle that it may not restrict debate or deliberation because the ideas put forth are thought to be offensive, unwise, immoral, or wrong-headed. It is for the members of the University community to make those judgments for themselves.
As a corollary to this commitment, members of the University community must also act in conformity with this principle. Although faculty, students and staff are free to criticize, contest and condemn the views expressed on campus, they may not obstruct, disrupt, or otherwise interfere with the freedom of others to express views they reject or even loathe.
For members of the University community, as for the University itself, the proper response to ideas they find offensive, unwarranted and dangerous is not interference, obstruction, or suppression. It is, instead, to engage in robust counter-speech that challenges the merits of those ideas and exposes them for what they are. To this end, the University has a solemn responsibility not only to promote a lively and fearless freedom of debate and deliberation, but also to protect that freedom when others attempt to restrict it.
As Robert M. Hutchins observed, without a vibrant commitment to free and open inquiry, a university ceases to be a university. The University of Chicago's long-standing commitment to this principle lies at the very core of the University's greatness.

So? What're you trying to say?
If you're trying to persuade me otherwise, do try to use logic and actual quotes to support your argument, difficult as it may seem.
I'm not going to convince myself for you, y'know?
If this entire discussion was supposed to be mere idle theorising (纸上谈兵, we do seem to speak a different language at times) based on personal opinion and interpretation, then I apologise in advance.

Hmm, I see your point. However, there is a fundamental flaw there. You are making the assumption that whatever holds true in classic mythology would also hold true in the world of Campione. The author has never said anything about that, hence it is not implied, but rather an assumption.
Again, it's not that I'm attacking your opinion/interpretation, all along my point was that if you're going to be making such sweeping statements you should clearly state that it is merely speculation and not use the wrong English verbs, to prevent widespread misinformation and misunderstandings.
Well, my original point was that Perseus didn't use an 'underhanded' trick, but they kept on drifting further away from that (god knows why).

And if he wasn't a real person, do the events happening in myths and legends count as "real"? I'm not really clear on whether the Gods always exist, just in another realm, or they are just imaginary figures that have the nasty habit of spontaneously erupting from the collective human imagination into reality. Or is there no real difference?
Anyway, back to the rape thing, even if was "unwilling", if the Gods aren't really "real", then can you actually say that something that happened in the stories actually happened? So if Perseus never existed, then he really couldn't have raped Andromeda, as it never actually happened.
My apologies if I'm not being clear.

So it would depend on whether the original myth of Perseus was simply a fabricated story, or a reflection of real events. I was wondering, if the legend of Perseus was rooted in a historical event, would the real/original Perseus have been a Campione?

There's also the question of whether Perseus, if he was an actual person, really was a Demi-god, or whether being the son of Zeus was simply myth. As Zeus would have to have been a Heretic God to sire Perseus.
Of course, it would be interesting if Zeus was currently like Susanoo, hanging around in the Astral Plane, having calmed down from his youth.

*Sigh* every Campione so far is human of origin. No matter how much human blood is in a Demi God, he is still a being beyond Human. All Gods are originally Myths and thus their being is the myth themselves. The Myths themselves don't need to make sense, if there are many who believe in them then the Myth manifest into beings called Gods.

And where did that last part come from? I was talking about Perseus, the hypothetical historcal figure, and wondering if he truly was a Demi-god, or if the stories made him one.
Campiones do derive their powers from the Gods they've killed, and are the adopted children of Pandora, so you could easily consider them a type of Demi-god. In which case, the story could have changed so Zeus became his father. Hell, look at it the right way, and the God a Campione first kills could be considered a "parent".
In fact, I would not be surprised if multiple mythological/legendary heroes were actually Campione's.
Of course, this is all idle speculation on my part, based on a limited understanding on the translated books. Feel free to correct me on any points I make, but I do ask you provide evidence if your not speculating as well.

*Sigh* I am getting a bit tired of debating this. My explanation is quite simple to understand, I usually don't point out answers for people's questions, I usually provide information for them to answer themselves like here. Gods are born of Myths, therefore their origin is born from the belief of those myths. Human beings are animals born from each other so therefore they are not Myths. Quite impossible for Perseus to be a Campione since he originated from Myths. As for beings who can become Campiones, any human can as long as Pandora's requirements are fulfilled. Essentially all that is needed is a couple of miracles and the sacrifice of a God. Reread Vol 3, Erica's explanations are quite simple to explain what Campiones are. Only humans can become Campiones. The Moderators are probably not going to enjoy me posting this, but here is a piece
Spoiler for Campiones:

I'm also just putting out some idle speculation on whether all the Demi-gods of mythology were actually Demi-gods, or whether some of them were actually Campione's, with the facts distorted by time and distance. This obviously doesn't include ones who were entirely made up.
Anyway, I do accept the logic that a Demi-god can't become a Campione, I'm just asking if that was directly stated, implied or was simply inferred. That's all I'm asking, nothing else. I apologize profosely if I gave you the wrong impression, and for any frustration it might have caused you.

I think it's a valid question, though "demi-god" needs to be clarified first.
As far as we know, Heretic Gods don't bear children with humans, so there aren't any demi-god offspring born from such a union. Subordinate gods like Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi are not human to begin with, while Ena in divine possession could be considered in a semi-divine state but she's still human.
So actual demi-gods becoming Campiones is a non-issue, but it doesn't rule out characters known as demi-gods in legend from being actual Campiones in history.
It's entirely plausible for an ancient Campione to slay multiple gods and gain their authorities, thereby engendering new legends of a god-like being with elements from his progenitors. That could be one way for seemingly disparate deities to suddenly get associated with one another.

As for Demi-gods, it appears that Hime-Miko are descendants of Divine Ancestors, so it certainly doesn't rule out the possibility of Heretic Gods having children with humans. Though they would probably be sexual deviants or view it as using a toy.

MEXICO CITY -- Six Spanish tourists on vacation in Acapulco were raped by masked gunmen who burst into their lodgings in the middle of the night, roughed up their companions and made off with cash, laptops and other valuables, authorities said.
The attack early Monday on what was in Mexico a long holiday weekend came as the one-time tourist mecca struggles to salvage its reputation. Acapulco, faded gem of Mexico's Pacific coast, has become one of the deadliest cities in the country as rival drug traffickers fight for control.
"This is a very regrettable incident that undoubtedly hurts Acapulco," Mayor Luis Walton Aburto said at a news conference.
Most of the violence has been limited to dicier parts of the city not frequented by tourists. But this attack took place near the beach about six miles south of the so-called Diamond Zone, Acapulco's newest and most luxurious enclave.
Acapulco's city government press office said the tourists had rented a bungalow on Enchanted Beach south of the city, alongside small four-star hotels that advertise themselves as places for meditation, relaxation and yoga.

Washington (CNN) - With news that a group of influential Iowa Republican donors is heading to New Jersey this month to meet Governor Chris Christie and urge him to run for President, he again on Monday insisted he will not become a candidate for the 2012 nomination.
"You have to feel in your heart you want to be president more than anything else, and I am not there right now," Christie told radio talk show host Chris Sitgall Monday morning.
He said his decision is final although he did agree to meet with the half dozen or so activists May 31st.
Asked whether it was possible a draft Christie movement could be successful in getting him into the race, he said "I think the days of a draft...I think those days are gone. I think the American people now want to see you out there pursuing it, running for it, making your case."
Bruce Rastetter, an energy company executive, and other Iowa businessmen hope to change Christie's mind when they meet with him.
"We want to encourage him from an Iowa perspective and a national perspective. We need a candidate like him in the race," Rastetter told CNN in an interview. He said this is not an indication he is unhappy with the current Republican candidates or thinks they are weak.
"I think the other people are good people, good candidates. Chris Christie is someone who is...unique...and direct," Rastetter said. "We are attracted by how he governs and addresses the issues."
If Christie holds firm in his decision, Rastetter said it is still good for the governor to "meet people and establish those relationships."
Christie's chief political adviser, Mike DuHaime, told CNN one major reason the governor chose to meet with Rastetter and the other Iowa activists is because they are close to Iowa Governor Terry Branstad, for whom Christie campaigned last year. Also DuHaime said knowing "other people who will be influential" in the party will be "good for the governor" since Christie "likely will be influential in the party.'
Christie's influence could be a major influence in the GOP nomination process. Already probable candidates Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty have met with him hoping to win his support. Former U.S. Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman will sit down with him in the coming days.
"I am going to continue to play a role as a leader in our party and I think appropriately so," Christie said in the radio interview. "I am happy to play that role if they think I can play an important part in a presidential campaign to help them and help us to elect a good Republican to replace President Obama in 2012 and clearly that is my goal to make sure we have a change in 2012."
He said in the radio interview he preferred the GOP nominee to be someone who has been a governor.
"When you have the responsibility to have run things and make executive decisions, I think it just trains you better to make decisions at the next level, at the federal level."
He mentioned Romney, Pawlenty and Huntsman all are former governors. Then he brought up current Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, who has said he will decide in the coming weeks whether to run for the party's nomination.
"I have enormous respect for and would give serious consideration to supporting" him, Christie said.
As to whether Christie's meeting with the Iowa donors could signal interest in running for president in the future, "We are not looking past 2012, 2013," DuHaime told CNN.

The Teaching Philosophy/Teaching Statement
The teaching philosophy (or teaching statement) is becoming a more common part of academic life for both faculty and graduate students. Graduate students report that colleges and universities often request statements from applicants for faculty positions. Faculty at an increasing number of institutions must develop a teaching statement as they approach tenure and promotion. Instructors at all levels find that writing their statement helps them develop as teachers, since it entails making their implicit views on teaching and student learning explicit and comparing those views to actual teaching practice.
CRLT Occasional Paper #23, Writing a Statement of Teaching Philosophy for the Academic Job Search, (O'Neal, Meizlish, and Kaplan, 2007)
This CRLT Occasional Paper is designed to help experienced graduate students write a statement of teaching philosophy. The authors offer a rubric for writing an effective statement based on research into the use of teaching statements by academic search committees.

Bright Song Project Files
For the audio-only version, click here.
Here is a mellow groove. I picture walking in the woods or the park on a sunny day. It's a warm pad playing two chord progressions, filtered drums playing a dub beat, an electric piano playing a supporting texture in fast triplets, a square wave-ish melody, and a pizzicato bass line that follows the bass drum. It loops well.
The feeling of the music can be hopeful, sad, chill, peaceful, refreshing, etc.
Bright Song might be used as background in an ad or film where you want to create a relaxed atmosphere.
This package includes the Logic Pro 7 file and accompanying audio files. Everything is labeled clearly and all the plugins used are native. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or special requests. Have fun.

Puberty is the time during which a persons sexual and physical characteristics mature. Precocious puberty is when these body changes happen earlier than normal.
Alternative Names
Pubertas praecox
Puberty usually begins between ages8 and 14 for girls and ages9 and 16 for boys.
The exact age a child enters puberty depends on a number of factors, including family history, nutrition, and gender.
Often there is no clear cause for precocious puberty. Some cases are due to changes in the brain, genetic problems, or certain tumors that release hormones. These conditions include:
- Disorders of the testicles, ovaries, or adrenal glands
- Tumor of the
hypothalamus(hypothalamic hamartoma)
- Tumors that release a hormone called hCG
In girls, precocious puberty is when any of the following develop before age 8:
- Armpit or pubic hair
- Beginning to grow faster
- Breasts
- First period (menstruation)
- Mature outer genitals
In boys, precocious puberty is when any of the following develop before age 9:
- Armpit or pubic hair
- Growth of the testes and penis
- Facial hair, often first on the upper lip
- Muscle growth
- Voice change (deepening)
Exams and Tests
The doctor will perform a physical exam to check for signs of precocious puberty.
Tests that may be ordered include:
- Blood tests to checkhormone levels
CTor MRIscan of the brain or of the abdomento rule out tumors.
Depending on the cause, treatment for precocious puberty may include:
- Medicationsto stop the release of sexual hormones
- Surgery to remove a tumor
Possible Complications
Children who go through puberty too early may not reach their full height because growth stops too early.
Children with early sexual developmentmay have psychological and social problems. Children and adolescents want to be the same as their peers. Early sexual development can make them appear different. Parents can support their child by explaining the condition and how the doctor plans to treat it.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
See your health care provider if:
- Your child shows signs of precocious puberty
- Any child with early sexual development appears to be having problems in school or with peers

The chairman of the PFA, Clarke Carlisle, believes harsh punishments should be handed to Manchester City fans found guilty of throwing coins in Sunday's Manchester derby.
Rio Ferdinand was struck by a coin, which cut him above the eye, before a fan ran onto the pitch an attempted to confront the 34-year-old.
"Do we have to wait until an England captain is blinded by a coin to grasp the nettle and stamp down on supporters who behave in an unacceptable way?" Carlisle queried The Daily Mirror.
"You can't pretend there is no problem when one of England's best players [Wayne Rooney] goes to take a corner and you can see missiles flying through the air around him.
"Until Rio Ferdinand was hit by that object, it's only by luck that players have not been injured before because the missiles were missing their targets.
"On one hand, you do not want to over-dramatise the problem and resort to scaremongering, but on the other hand you can't sweep what happened at the Manchester derby under the carpet – because it was terrible.
"The truth about hooligan behaviour inside football grounds is not that it's on the increase, nor that we are creeping back towards the bad old days, because the problem never went away in the first place.
"But the important thing is how we respond and deal with it.
"We don't want football to reach the stage where something terrible happens before we address the issue, like tearing down the fences which penned in fans until 96 innocent people lost their lives at Hillsborough.
"Sadly, it has taken someone as high-profile as Rio to suffer for the issue to make the front pages. Now is the time to clamp down, now is the time to stamp it out.
"We need to lower our tolerance levels, we can't afford to wait until there's a tragedy."
With recent investigations into other examples of fan misbehaviour, such as racial abuse and anti-Semitic chanting, the PFA chairman called for the authorities to take missile-throwing just as seriously.
Carlisle also argued that the proposed introduction of mesh netting between fans and the field of play would not address the fundamental problem.
"As an industry, we have started picking out individuals who make racist gestures or shout abuse which goes beyond the pale," continued the defender. "So let's root out the idiots who throw missiles or go on the pitch to confront players.
"The next set of TV rights is said to be worth £5 billion to the Premier League.
"I don't think it's too much to ask for part of that astronomical sum to be set aside to make sure players are safe in their working environment – on the pitch – and fans can take their children to games in a healthy atmosphere.
"When we talk about putting up mesh netting, screens and so on, we are catering for the hooligan element and that's the wrong option.
"If you treat fans like animals, and put them behind cages, it encourages some of them to behave like animals. We need to nullify their behaviour by weeding them out and catering for the decent, overwhelming majority."

The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) publishes the results of a weekly applications survey that covers roughly 50 percent of all residential mortgage originations and tracks the average interest rate for 30 year and 15 year fixed rate mortgages as well as the volume of both purchase and refinance applications.
The purchase application index has been highlighted as a particularly important data series as it very broadly captures the demand side of residential real estate for both new and existing home purchases.
The latest data is showing that the average rate for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage (from FHA and conforming GSE data) declined 7 basis points to 4.40% since last week while the purchase application volume declined 5% and the refinance application volume declined 4% over the same period.
Rates now appear to be settling a bit after weeks of explosive increases that saw a rise of over 100 basis points seemingly directly correlated with the Feds recent suggestion that they may start to wind down GSE purchases later this year.
It appears now though that Chairman Bernanke's latest comments might have worked to provide a bit more clarity surrounding the Feds plans for QE thereby working to halt the recent run-up in rates.

Each spring, the University of Houston's Honors College brings a master teacher and top scholar to campus to participate in the Ross M. Lence Master Teacher Residency. Reminiscent of a "writer-in-residence" model, the program invites a scholar to interact with UH faculty and students through lectures, workshops, luncheons and discussions.
This year, Robert C. Bartlett, Behrakis Professor of Hellenic Political Studies at Boston College, will serve as the Lence Master Teacher. Bartlett will be on campus April 12-13 and will speak at the following events.
- 5:30 p.m., April 12: "Translating
Aristotle's Ethics in the Modern Age" – Honors College Commons (second
floor of UH's M.D. Anderson Library)
The Honors College and the Phronesis program will host this free, public lecture for students, faculty, and alumni. Professor Bartlett and Susan Collins, Honors College professor and director of the Phronesis Program in Politics and Ethics, will lead the discussion based on the book they co-authored "Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics."
- Noon, Friday, April 13: "Ancients and Moderns on the Problem of Chance" – Cemo Hall
- 6 p.m., Friday, April 13: The
Honors College presents the Lence Master Teacher Dinner – Rockwell
Pavilion (second floor of UH's M.D. Anderson Library)
Bartlett will deliver the lecture "Liberal Education and the Five Essential Questions." Tickets for this event are $50 and guests must RSVP. To reserve a seat, contact Beth Kungel Borck at 713-743-3220 or go to http://TheHonorsCollege.com/LMT.
Bartlett holds a master of arts degree in classics and a doctorate in political science from Boston College. He has written and edited six books and has been published in the American Political Science Review, the American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Politics and the Review of Politics. Bartlett is working on a study of ancient relativism and the Socratic response to it as presented by Plato.
"In addition to his wonderful scholarship, Bob is an award-winning teacher in the tradition of Ross Lence. Like Ross, Bob combines an extraordinary depth of knowledge with playful wit and dash," Collins said. "His teaching reflects the joy and sense of community inherent in liberal education and in the vocation that defined Ross' life."
The Lence Master Teacher Residency was created to honor the late UH political science professor Ross M. Lence. Lence taught at UH from 1971 - 2006. He was a John and Rebecca Moores Scholar and held the Ross M. Lence Distinguished Teaching Chair. Lence was immensely popular with colleagues and students and served as the director for undergraduate studies for the department of political science for 23 years.
"Ross Lence was not only a brilliant professor, but a dear friend to many," said Bill Monroe, dean of the Honors College. "When he died in 2006, the master teacher residency was established by his colleagues and students to honor his memory and carry on his legacy of teaching and friendship."
About the Honors College The Honors College at UH is a hub of excellence that serves the needs of gifted undergraduates in more than 100 fields of study and reflects the rich diversity of the University of Houston in its courses, faculty, and students. For over 50 years, the Honors College has offered students the best of both worlds: the advantages of a small college together with the comprehensive resources and rich diversity of a large university.

Five months after its introduction, Microsoft is discontinuing a program that offered some Windows Vista purchasers the ability to buy additional copies of the operating system at a substantial discount. Since Windows Vista went on sale to consumers at the end of January, US and Canadian buyers of Vista Ultimate have had the option of buying up to two additional copies of Vista - albeit the Home Premium version - for an additional USD 50 apiece. The company had said it would re-evaluate the 'Windows Vista Family Discount' after 30 June. In a posting on the Windows Vista Team Blog, Microsoft product manager Nick White said the program would 'sunset' as of 11.59pm PDT on 30 June.

This design is truly awesome – congrats!
I'm a bit dumbfounded though that Opera 9.6x does such a poor job of displaying the intended design. Luckily I have Opera 10 beta installed and that version displays this website just like Firefox and Safari on Windows. IE6 for once does a better job than Opera 9.6x in a "I'm doing my darndest to display this high-tech design, and it came out rather good!" kind of way.
Lots of Advent-reading, thanx ;-)

My LO had a maple leaf in the back yard, holding it by the stem and picking off pieces of the leaf and eating them. Then, she grabbed a French fry from DH's plate and started to gnaw it. Ready for solids, I think.
What about letting her have a leaf of baby spinach, to munch like she tried to do the maple leaf?

Nicholls State University baseball coach Seth Thibodeaux said it best.
Nicholls State University baseball coach Seth Thibodeaux said it best.
Former LSU baseball coach Skip Bertman is a "first-class guy."
Thibodeaux made that observation on Saturday night at the Nicholls baseball team's annual First Pitch Banquet at Cypress Columns in Gray. Bertman was the event's guest speaker.
Bertman came to the area to do two things — talk about his accomplishments at LSU and to promote Nicholls baseball.
It's easy for Bertman to talk about his accomplishment with the Tigers. From 1984-2001, he guided the Tigers to an 870-330-3 record with seven SEC titles, 11 trips to the College World Series and five national championships. He also was a successful athletic director at LSU from 2001-08.
But Bertman did more than help improve the baseball program at LSU. He played a major role in improving the quality of college baseball around the state.
Before Bertman arrived in Baton Rouge, no Louisiana-based college baseball team had ever made it to the College World Series in Omaha, Neb.
The University of New Orleans was the first program to make it there for the 1984 season, but it was LSU that made the biggest impact over the years. Other schools joined LSU and UNO, as Louisiana-Lafayette (2000) and Tulane (2001 and 2005).
One of the main reasons for these schools' improved play was Bertman. By elevating the level of play at LSU, he indirectly helped other schools get better on the field.
Bertman made it a point to establish rivalries with these schools and played many home-and-home games over the years. This led to many state schools improving their overall play, resulting in trips to the NCAA tournament.
Nicholls was one of those schools that saw its level of play improve after Bertman arrived at LSU. It resulted in three trips to the NCAA tournament (1989, 1992 and 1998) and several winning seasons.
Although Bertman is now retired, he is still doing what he can to promote college baseball throughout the state. Saturday was one of those instances when he spoke at Nicholls' annual baseball banquet. It was a chance for Bertman to promote the game he loves, and it also gave the Nicholls baseball program to raise some necessary funds.
Thibodeaux said Bertman didn't hesitate when asked to speak at Saturday's banquet, despite having opportunities to speak at Cal State Fullerton and schools along the East coast on the same night.
"He wanted to stay close and support a Louisiana school," Thibodeaux said. "That says a lot about what he's done for Louisiana college baseball. He's helped every program in the state of Louisiana take a step forward."
Bertman understands the importance of having quality baseball programs in the state, and he is doing what he can to make it happen.
It just proves that Bertman is truly a "first-class guy."

I absolutely am in love with this purchase. It has been worn a few times already and has held up great after each wash with no fading, loss of shape or pealing. This graphic works best I think against the grey I chose. Love that this artist represents the beautiful diversity of our Puerto Rican culture. This image resonates with me being that I am Puerto Rican of mostly African descent. Thank you Ida Yvette Robles for representing all of us Boricuas!

This item arrived stained and dingy. The t-shirt itself has a stain on it and the color is absolutely nothing like the photo. The product detail has my image on a white tank top; however, the tank top that arrived looks like it was washed with a bunch of brown clothes and has a dirty look to it, aside from the stain. I took a picture of a Gildan white t-shirt I own (thats been washed several times already) with the tank top I received to show how dingy the tank looks. I've opened a ticket regarding a refund or replacement on this item and still have yet to hear back from anyone. Yet again, not a good first impression for this company.
Sides painted in black Ready to hang. Frame not included Certificate of Authenticity Included with all works. Please, contact me and give me your Postal Code to know the real cost of delivery. Thank you so much for your interest & support. Richard T Pranke
Welcome I am a 3rd generation artist, born in Duvernay, Laval, Quebec in 1958. My grandfather, Richard Wenzel Pranke was an art professor in Slovakia, and my father,a well known Quebec artist Walter W. Pranke, were my first motivators that inspired me at a very early age. My art education began at the age of 10 when I created a 32 sq ft mural for a school project. Because of my family's heritage in the love of arts, I studied numerous art literatures, volumes of artists work and other forms of media to develop my skills. Thanks to my father and my devotion to painting I continue to grow as an artist. Hope you enjoy my art !

1. Re: Guidance for getting a jobNed Murphy Apr 24, 2012 5:12 AM (in response to bhargavi reddy)
Focusing on one skill will limit your career prospects. You should become knowledgeable in as many aspects of modern Flash implementations as possible if you want to continue in a Flash-related career. AS3 will likely follow the footsteps of AS1/AS2. Staying on the learning curve is a necessity for a programming career, especially if you seek to be employed and not self-employed.
2. Re: Guidance for getting a job_spoboyle Apr 24, 2012 5:17 AM (in response to bhargavi reddy)
I guess a lot depends on where you are looking for work. you can certianly continue purely with AS3 but you options would be more limited.
I haven't seen that much demand for Flex, it's certainly a small percentage of the jobs I have seen.
As for mobile this is big area for AS developers at the moment and knowing some wouldn't hurt.
If you want to move and give yourself as much chance as possible I would suggest trying to build demos in a variety of application platforms.
Create a simple mobile app, do some social networking (e.g. a facebook game) and possibly a smiple Flex application and apply for these jobs. 3D demos can really impress as well. you might not have the commercial experience but if you have the demos, come accross well, demonstrating you want to learn these technologies and you know the basics you have a good chance; depending on who else applies.
A good company will realise you have a good grounding in AS and can apply what you know to these new areas. For a good developer moving from web based AS to mobile is not hard a every company should know this. There is a little more to learn for Flex but if you have the time is well spent, however someone looking for a Flex developer might be a little more demanding in terms experience
as a side note I got my first AS3 gig with no flash experience at all. I came from a Java background and a good relationship with Sega and developed the original sonic engine for their playSega website
3. Re: Guidance for getting a jobbhargavi reddy Apr 24, 2012 8:52 PM (in response to Ned Murphy)
Thank you Ned Murphy. As you said focusing on one skill will definetly limit my career. I just want to improve myself by learning and practicing each and every implementation coming in flash technology and also want to concentrate on mobile applications.
4. Re: Guidance for getting a jobbhargavi reddy Apr 24, 2012 8:57 PM (in response to _spoboyle)
Thank you so much _spoboyle. I think you guided me in a right way. Mobile apps having so much of demand today. Having knowledge in mobile apps is good for my career. I want to update myself with new technologies coming in flash. And also want to learn basics in flex and making 3D games.

Chairs, once a luxury, quickly became embedded in the workplace, thanks to Henry Ford. In the early 1900s, Ford thought that production workers could better perform repetitive tasks if they remained stationary.
"The industrial revolution meant that you could break up everyone's work into small parts," Berkeley professor Galen Cranz, author of The Chair: Rethinking Culture, Body, and Design told Quartz."Everyone was sitting in a factory with the work going by, just performing the same repetitive motion over and over again. At first that felt good. You're taking a load off of your feet."
A century later, what once brought us comfort is slowly killing us. A study released last summer found that sitting for more than three hours a day can cut life expectancy by two years. A recent University of Leicester study concluded that sitting for long periods of time increases the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Meanwhile, the American Medical Association adopted a policy recognizing the potential health risks of sitting by "encouraging employers…to make available alternatives to sitting, such as standing workstations."
According to Cranz, people haven't been sitting in chairs for all that long. For thousands of years, humans worked on their feet, performing complex "whole body" tasks that required walking, running, reaching, stooping, and squatting. Fifty years ago, more than half of US jobs required physical activity but that has since shrunk to less than 20%. Now, there's a movement to return to a work environment that is more natural and replicates the "whole body" activity of years past.
Furniture makers have responded with workspaces that are more ergonomically designed, where office equipment is made to maximize productivity and minimize discomfort. Here's a guide to ergonomic standing work stations in the age of the information economy.

The nature of diabetes treatment has changed over the last 20 years, as more and more people are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. In this video, endocrinologist Athena Philis-Tsimikas, MD, of Scripps Health, discusses how it has evolved.
Continue Learning about Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus (MEL-ih-tus), often referred to as diabetes, is characterized by high blood glucose (sugar) levels that result from the body's inability to produce enough insulin and/or effectively utilize the insulin. Diabetes ...
is a serious, life-long condition and the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Diabetes is a disorder of metabolism (the body's way of digesting food and converting it into energy). There are three forms of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that accounts for five- to 10-percent of all diagnosed cases of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes may account for 90- to 95-percent of all diagnosed cases. The third type of diabetes occurs in pregnancy and is referred to as gestational diabetes. Left untreated, gestational diabetes can cause health issues for pregnant women and their babies. People with diabetes can take preventive steps to control this disease and decrease the risk of further complications.More

Oxbow & American Music Club
NOT a collaboration thread.
Sorry to get hopes up.
I want to know these bands. Consensus on where to start with both?
THANKS HIVEMIND xx
Oxbow-a Love That's Last is a good compilation/ DVD combo
then just work backwards from there.
American Music Club-er, Engine maybe? (though a lot of people would say California).
Mercury is my favourite AMC album
but granted, most people would say Californiafunkycow this'd this
certainly give 'an evil heat' and 'serenade in red' a listen
Engine, California and United Kingdom are the pinnacle of AMC.
Everclear, Mercury, San Franciso and Love Songs for Patriots all brilliant too.
As for Oxbow, The Narcotic Story is my fave. I saw them at Bristol's Ashton Court Festival about 10 years ago. They were colossal!
American Music Club are one of my all time favourite bands
You should definitely start with California if you can get hold of it. It's their greatest album, one of the best records of the 1980s and a stone cold classic from start to finish. Check out Western Sky (it's the first thing that comes up if you put in American Music Club on You Tube). California is full of songs as good as that.
My other favourite AMC albums would probably be Everclear, United Kingdom and Engine in that order.jack_on_fire and hungover this'd this
I've got three copies of California, love it so much.
It seems all those early albums are out of print, the only one I haven't got or even heard is The Restless Stranger. United Kingdom is my next fave, then Everclear, San Francisco, Engine and Mercury. All have absolute classics on them though. Eitzel is undoubtedly a genius. Eugene out of Oxbow has a massive schlong, that's all I know about them really.
California has been unavailable for ages
Some kind of dispute with the record label. When so much crap gets reissued over and over it's a real shame there is not a re-mastered version of California.
Restless Stranger has been hard to get for even longer (I think the band are not that keen on it). I've got it, it's not as good as what follows but it has got AMC's first great song on it (Room Above The Club)
Thank you all
Today is a good day for music.
I saw Mark play in Bristol last Sunday.
He's still great.
My journey with AMC started with Mercury
As soon as I heard "Johnny Mathis' Feet", I knew I was in love. Haven't admittedly heard most of their other albums yet, but Mercury did the job for me FWIW.
Invisible Man by Mark Eitzel is my favourite AMC related album.
theres also a lovely solo album by him on which he is accompanied by a greek band. his last solo album is one of the worst things i've ever heard mind.

Thursday Morning Political Mix
Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP
Good morning, fellow political junkies. As we enter Day 3 of the federal government shutdown, the impasse appears no closer to a solution. Nothing like a way forward seemed to come from President Obama's White House meeting Wednesday evening with congressional leaders.
But, then, we didn't expect much from it since the president's people said he wouldn't be negotiating.
Still, there's no shutdown in news coverage, far from it. Here's a collection of some of the more interesting pieces, themes, analysis or tidbits I wanted to share this morning.
- We may be at grasping-at-straws time. Or worse. Wednesday evening, as President Obama met with congressional leaders at the White House, Robert Costa of the National Review caused some initial excitement with a report of a "grand bargain" being attempted by Speaker John Boehner as he tried to cook up a dish his fellow Republicans could stomach to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling. But a Boehner spokesman downplayed the effort. And the more you looked, the slimmer the reed seemed to be.
- It sounds like much heat was generated at a private meeting of Senate Republicans Wednesday as they castigated Sen. Ted Cruz for leading congressional Republicans into the box canyon of the government shutdown-Obamacare fight with no exit strategy, reported Politico's Manu Raju. Cruz also reportedly refused to take back all the nasty things he has publicly said about them.
- A staggering number of poor, both working and jobless, won't be helped by the Affordable Care Act because of their states' refusal to expand Medicaid. The New York Times' Sabrina Tavernise and Robert Gebeloff report that more than half the nation's low-wage workers and two-thirds of poor blacks and single mothers won't get the subsidies needed to buy health insurance.
- While the lawmakers and news media busily showered attention on vets at the World War II Memorial who became a handy symbol of shutdown victimhood and triumph, especially for conservatives, virtually ignored were the very sick kids, especially those with cancer, treated by the shutdown-hamstrung National Institutes of Health. The New Republic's Alec MacGillis found no news cameras or members of Congress at the Children's Inn facility where children stay while taking part in NIH clinical trials.
- The shutdown has been little more than a speed bump for Washington lobbyists, reports Kevin Bogardus of The Hill. Sure, a few meetings with lawmakers were cancelled and venues changed. But so far, the city's lobbyists have found plenty of shutdown workarounds.
- Many people probably hadn't given much thought to the possibility that a few furloughed, unpaid U.S. intelligence workers might now be more easily recruited to spy for foreign nations. I know I hadn't. But James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence raised that concern at a congressional hearing Wednesday, reported NPR's Scott Neuman.
- Perhaps some of the fears held by House Republicans of primary challenges will be assuaged by a new automated poll that shows Rep. Bill Shuster (R-PA) with a commanding lead over his Tea Party challenger. CQ Roll Call's Abby Livingson reports that Shuster led retired Coast Guard captain Art Halverson by more than 50 points. It's still early, however.
- If you want to talk to Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) try calling his Senate office and see if he picks up. The shutdown has caused him to take decisive action and answer his own phones, reports Politico's Burgess Everett.

Lots Of People Don't Turn Off Their Devices When They Fly
from the and-no-damage-yet dept
And I'm not alone. It seems that lots of people leave their devices on when they fly.
People give all sorts of reasons for why the devices should be turned off, but none of them make much sense. There is the interference question, but given how many of these devices stay on, there would be at least some real evidence of interference by now if that were really a big concern. There is the "gotta pay attention to the flight attendants" argument, but then they wouldn't let you sleep or read a book during takeoff. There's the "flying device is dangerous if something goes wrong" argument, but that applies equally to books. So, what is the reasoning? There's either some reason that no one's explaining... or just a ridiculous overabundance of caution where it's clearly not necessary.
In a study released on Thursday by two industry groups, the Airline Passenger Experience Association and the Consumer Electronics Association, as many as 30 percent of all passengers said they had accidentally left a device on during takeoff or landing. About 67 percent said they had never done this, always ensuring that their electronics were turned off. Four percent were unsure.
In another segment of the study, passengers were asked if they turn their devices to "off" when instructed to do so by the pilot. Although 59 percent of passengers said they do fully turn their electronics off, 21 percent said they often simply switch to "airplane mode," which disables the main radios of a gadget. Five percent sometimes adhere to the rule. And others were either unsure or do not carry electronic devices on a plane.
Of course, as I was finishing up this post, someone passed along a Bloomberg video that claims that phones do interfere with flight GPS. If you look at at the text that goes with the video, they cite a story of a flight that went off course until flight attendants convinced someone to turn off an iPhone. However, nowhere in the video do they even mention that story or give any data or support for that claim. The video claims are also suspect. They name a single study from nearly a decade ago talking about a single phone, which is no longer on the market, that caused some interference. The other "studies" they look at include a very small number of claims from pilots who claim problems and that they "suspect" interference from phones, but those are never confirmed. They found 75 such claims over six years, but without any evidence to back them up.
Again, given how often people leave their devices on, you would expect a lot more verifiable evidence beyond a few pilots "suspecting" that phones were the problem, when a variety of other variables might have been a part of it.
