1 1 Whatever Happened to Jane Doe? Deck CAROL TAVRIS Five years ago in this magazine, Elizabeth Loftus and Melvin Guyer published a two-part article called Who Abused Jane Doe? (Loftus and Guyer 2002a, 2002b). It was their critical interpretation of a case study that provided alleged evidence of a repressed and then recovered memory of childhood sexual abuse, and its subject, Jane Doe, was not happy with their account. In February, 2003, she sued both of them, this magazine, its publisher, me, and a few others involved in the investigation for defamation, invasion of privacy, infliction of emotional distress, and fraud. She claimed twenty-one counts and causes of action within these four categories, and she wanted more than a million dollars in punitive damages and compensation for her
2 2 injured feelings. The invasion of privacy claim was especially ironic, given that Loftus and Guyer never once revealed her real name, and the SKEPTICAL INQUIRER and I didn t even know what it was until she filed the lawsuit in her own name. And so, it was Jane Doe herself who told the world that her real name was Nicole Taus. After wending its way for years through the California courts, ending with a ruling in early 2007 by the California Supreme Court, the case was finally resolved. Taus lost resoundingly on twenty of the twenty-one counts. The SKEPTICAL INQUIRER s right to publish the articles was completely supported; Loftus, Guyer s, and my right to write and talk about the case was given complete protection; and the Supreme Court ruled that because the defendants won the overwhelming majority of Taus s claims, we were entitled to recover fees and costs. Taus thus faced a bill for $450, the cost of nearly five years of litigation and fees for the attorneys representing all the defendants she had accused. All in all, it was a sound defeat for the plaintiff and a tremendous victory for open, skeptical inquiry and free speech with one quirk related to that lone twenty-first count. Here is the full story. First, some background. In 1997, psychiatrist David Corwin and his colleague Erna Olafson published a case history that proponents of recovered-memory therapy quickly began using in conversation, in scholarly writing, and in court as proof of the existence of repressed memories. Corwin had entered Nicole s life (at that time, noted as Jane Doe ) during a custody evaluation in the early 1980s, when child sex-abuse allegations were reaching a peak, and videotaped six-year-old Nicole as she claimed that her mother physically and sexually abused her. Corwin believed her, and the mother lost custody and even visitation rights. Nicole lived with her father until he became seriously ill, at which time she went to live with a foster mother. When she was seventeen, Corwin returned to interview and videotape her once again. During this encounter, she at first didn t recall any acts of sexual abuse, but eventually did. Corwin s detailed account, and his repeated showing of her videotapes as a child and teenager at conferences, were persuasive to many mental health professionals, researchers, and of course, prosecutors. Yet Loftus and Guyer were suspicious of Corwin s story. Using public records and newspaper clippings, they eventually located Taus s family. After poring over thousands of pages of court records documenting the virulence of the original custody battle, including a thorough, court-ordered report by a clinical psychologist who doubted that Nicole had been sexually abused (a report not mentioned by Corwin), and after interviewing several key players in the story, they became convinced that Taus s biological mother was almost certainly innocent. When the mother learned that someone believed her after so many years, she sobbed and said, I never thought this day would come. It had been more than a decade since she had lost custody of her daughter. As Loftus and Guyer were getting ready to publish their findings and interpretation of the evidence, however, Nicole
3 3 Taus complained to the University of Washington, where Loftus was a professor, that her privacy was being violated by a faculty member who was investigating her story. Despite having already permitted her face to be shown and the details of her life to be publicly revealed, she pursued her complaint. University officials seized Loftus s files, and although university regulations stipulate that all such complaints against faculty members are to be resolved within 120 days, the investigation against Loftus went on for nearly two years, during which time she was forbidden to speak or write about the case. Eventually Loftus was completely cleared of wrongdoing or ethical violations. At the University of Michigan, Mel Guyer was enduring similar harassment from his Internal Review Board, but finally he, too, was free to publish. And so their two-part article Who Abused Jane Doe? appeared in the SKEPTICAL INQUIRER, along with a companion piece that I wrote describing the struggles that Loftus and Guyer had endured at their respective universities (Tavris 2002). Who Abused Jane Doe? offered an alternative explanation to the one proposed by the repression proponents: namely, that the child had probably not been abused at all, but that her memories were the result of suggestive influences on the part of her father, her stepmother, and perhaps a few mental health professionals as part of her father s determination to gain custody of his daughter. When Nicole Taus filed her lawsuit, the lawyers representing all the defendants hoped to get the case dismissed immediately on the grounds that Loftus and Guyer had not done anything that ordinary investigative journalists would not do. The lawyers argued that Taus s suit was a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP), filed in retaliation for the defendants protected exercise of free speech. 1 Our anti- SLAPP motion alleged that the plaintiff s suit was intended to interfere with certain constitutional rights of the defendants and with the public s interest in being informed of important issues and questions of public policy and controversial topics. Once we made our motion showing that fundamental constitutional rights were placed at risk by Taus s suit, Taus was required to show that she had a chance of prevailing on any of her claims if they were to proceed to trial. As the case made its way through the courts, the plaintiff was found to have filed a suit that indeed infringed on our constitutional rights, that her claims lacked any likelihood of prevailing if the case went to trial, and that all of her charges were without legal foundation (Taus v. Loftus et al. 2007). The California Supreme Court dismissed all counts against the defendants but split on one single factual question involving Loftus only. To understand this issue, you need to know that the Court doesn t rule on the validity of a person s claim but rather its legality. If you sue someone for calling you a son of a bitch, the Court doesn t determine whether the person actually called you a son of a bitch but whether you have a legal claim against him if it turns out to be true that he said those words. In this case, Taus s former foster mother, who had given Loftus information about Taus s background and attempts to reach her biological mother, and other matters, alleged that she had
4 4 given Loftus this information under false pretenses. (Guyer was not involved in that interview.) The foster mother claimed that Loftus had told her she was Corwin s supervisor, thereby gaining information that she, the foster mother, would otherwise not have revealed. In issuing its ruling, the Supreme Court had to assume this allegation was true before it could determine whether there was any legal basis for remanding the matter to trial, where a jury would decide whom to believe. For example, the courts have ruled that certain categories of investigators, police officers, and reporters among them, are allowed to lie to interviewees in order to gain information. Are social scientists? Realtors? Marketers? Employers? By a narrow majority, the Supreme Court held that one narrow, particular kind of lie can be actionable: the kind the foster mother alleged. Investigators may not pretend to have a special relationship with the target of their investigation (e.g., Corwin) in order to lower their interviewee s (e.g., foster mother s) normal caution about disclosing personal matters. They may not intrude on a privileged relationship in which the subject has an expectation of privacy. Taus, said the Court, had a reasonable expectation that no one would pretend to be privy to her special relationship with Corwin that she could trust Corwin s supervisor (as if he had one!) as much as Corwin. Although Taus s lawyer explicitly informed the Court that Corwin never acted as Taus s therapist, the Court nonetheless decided that because Corwin is a psychiatrist, he and Taus had some kind of trusting, therapist-patient-like relationship. And so they ruled that the case could go to trial to determine that one factual issue: Did Loftus lie to the foster mother to get information about Taus? But, as one of the dissenting judges wrote, In fact, it is fairly apparent that the impetus for this litigation is not Loftus s investigative techniques but her perceived adversarial stance toward Corwin and, derivatively, toward Taus. But by any ordinary sense, the desire to deny an investigator information based on the investigator s viewpoint cannot be called an expectation of privacy or seclusion, and the enforcement of Taus s preference through tort law is contrary to free academic inquiry and the First Amendment. Some of Loftus s opponents have misinterpreted the Court s ruling for their own purposes as a confirmation that Loftus lied to the foster mother. In fact, Loftus is adamant that she did no such thing. The foster mother also claimed that during the interview, when she somehow discovered that Loftus was not whom she said she was (how would this have happened if Loftus was deceiving her?), the interview turned hostile and she demanded that the tape recorder be turned off and the tape handed over. Loftus refused, she said, and so she ended the interview at once. However, as witnesses to the interview can confirm, the interview was not taped; it lasted four hours until Loftus ended it, and when it was over, the foster mother amiably posed for photographs with Loftus, who had put her arm supportively around her. What seems likely, therefore, is that the foster mother repented of her conversation with Loftus in order to make amends with Taus. The phenomenon of source remorse is well known to journalists and biographers. Nonetheless, there it was: Taus facing hundreds of thou-
5 5 sands of dollars in costs, Loftus facing a petty, but onerous, she-said/she-said trial. 2 And then Taus made an offer to settle. She would drop the remaining claim against Loftus for $7,500 a pittance compared to the million she had been asking plus an agreement by Loftus to forgo her portion of the attorneys fees she was otherwise entitled to receive from Taus. Accepting the offer, Loftus knew, meant that her enemies would say she was admitting that she used deceit to interview the foster mother. But accepting the offer also meant she would avoid years of potentially protracted and costly legal machinations. The foster mother, presumably wishing to remain in Taus s good graces, might lie about how Loftus represented herself to her. Most of all, the defendants had won their biggest battle to protect their right, and the right of journals such as the SKEPTICAL INQUIRER, to investigate case studies and publish alternate interpretations of them. So Loftus accepted the offer, and the case ended for her. We other defendants, all of whom had been fully exonerated on all counts, pursued our right to recover legal fees and costs. Taus s lawyer filed yet another motion, this time to decrease the amount of money that Taus was liable for, based on a subtraction of fees waived by the Loftus settlement. On October 2, 2007, a judge agreed to reduce the fees to those incurred on behalf of the remaining defendants, and as of this writing we await his decision as to the exact amount Taus will have to pay. (If it is too high, her attorney may appeal it.) Who abused Jane Doe and whom did she abuse? She wanted her story told her way, as everyone does; and when others disputed her version of events, she took out her anger the American way: by suing. Fortunately, this time, the result was an undeniable victory for free speech and scientific inquiry. Notes 1. In the early l990s the California Legislature enacted into the Code of Civil Procedure the anti-slapp law, noting a disturbing increase in lawsuits brought primarily to chill the valid exercise of the constitutional rights of freedom of speech. It recognized the public s interest in encouraging participation in the significant matters of a society, and was essentially a way to ensure that such participation was not suppressed through the misuse of the judicial process. 2. Technically, one other defendant remains in the case; Taus also sued Harvey Shapiro, a private investigator who obtained court records and arranged for the interview with the foster mother. As of this writing, Taus s claim against him has not been fully resolved. To our knowledge, he did nothing outside the scope of the work of ordinary private investigators.

The close proximity of several news stations and the heavy tourist traffic at the Seattle Center raise questions about safety. "It could have been much worse. It was a quiet day at the Center," Murray said of this morning's crash of a KOMO news helicopter that killed two people on board and has a Seattle man in serious condition after the helicopter landed on his car. Diane Sugimura, director of the Seattle Department of Planning and Development, said city rules were re-written in the 1980s to limit new landing sites to news and medical uses. She said the city then was concerned about noise and public safety. She said some landing pads permitted on the tops of downtown buildings were grandfathered in. New landing sites now require a conditional use permit and approval by the City Council. She said such requests likely would get close scrutiny today because the city has many more downtown residents and workers.

You know, I used to blog about "finding the inner you" and realising your "personal power". These sentiments are very important to anyone who is searching for true understanding and trying to overcome the difficulties that life presents. My approach was as a psychologist who also believed in the energetic forces in the world that surround and influence us all. Jung's theory of the "collective conscious" is similar to what I believed, that we are all connected in being human and all under the same energetic influences that are created by life and the universe. (A very simplified version of the concept)
But what I didn't realise that it is only through the full acceptance of Jesus as your living saviour, understanding the importance of His atonement and allowing the beloved Holy Spirit to reside in you that you would naturally (spiritually) achieve this state of being and become enlightened.
It is through this enlightenment that God's Kingdom, which is already here on Earth, in us, is released.
This is a state of awakening. Not awakening to self! But awakening to the Truth that is the Gospel.
The funny thing is that what the Gospel says is right; you simply can't see it or hear it until you yourself are called and follow that calling to the point where you go through your own spiritual awakening.
Each individual has the Kingdom of God inside them. Each must come to know God in their own way, developing their own personal relationship with our Almighty Father. This is why there are so many different religions and church denominations in the world, they are there to serve each individual as none of us think in the same way, therefore we need lots of different approaches to the same Truth! Ha ha…
We are near the end of a spiritual famine where now more and more people are being called and awoken spiritually. I see it every day and other spiritual leaders I'm connected to are also seeing it in their own churches. More and more people are turning to God and being called to service by the Holy Spirit. In the last few months since my own awakening I have been amazed at the acceleration of "the work" and have been called to my ministry every day.
My acts of faith are constant but I cannot divulge them to you because part of being a disciple of Christ is that we act for the sake of our Lord but never speak of it because that is boastful but it's enough to tell you that since I was called my life has been taken over completely by the work that has to be done for our Lord.
I am nearly at a point now of full commitment to His glorious service. The spirit is calling me to give up my job and walk fully in faith to do the work that needs to be done to prepare the way for Christ's return. That is, to be active in restoring His churches and ministering His word on a daily basis so I am in the position I need to be in to hear those who are answering His call and guide them to their own enlightenment.
This is why my Father blessed me with the life circumstances I had and the talents and gifts of insight, instinct and understanding; compassion, music and love; so I could reach a wider demographic of society because there is nowhere anyone has been that I have not been myself or had first hand knowledge of through my involvement with other people I've met in my life.
Nothing leading up to this point in my life was a mere coincidence.
Now, I do have to be careful that I know I am answering the call of the Spirit and not being misled by satan and to be honest I am very aware that satan continually tries to attack me everyday, because he understands the importance of my calling and wants to try to stop me. He's trying to stop my friends too and break us apart but we're onto him and have evoked our Lord Jesus Christ to protect us. (In fact I can testify that Raphael himself is involved with this and if you need proof of that then realise that I am now at war with the Mormon church because they are the false, occult church written about in Ezekiel 13 and are based in Utah and it just so happens that the San Rafael river flows seasonally in Utah in the San Rafael desert and Raphael's name was given to me by the Spirit when I prayed for protection against the Mormon demon).
Make no mistake, I may write in a casual manner but this is to save time and help you understand what I'm talking about. This stuff is very real and not of my own mind, it is revealed through the enlightenment I've received since my awakening and I will testify now that I am going take the Mormon church down! Not just to its knees but, in the name Him most Holy, even Jesus Christ, I will utterly destroy it; being used purely as God's vessel on this Earth for His glory and His truth.
That part of the work has already begun. In fact I have a meeting with the bishop of the most powerful Mormon church in the world already set up…
Nah na na na na… lol… don't doubt any of this, it's happening as you read this and so is your own calling. There is not much time left and you must act now, but you'll know that in yourself when the Spirit speaks to you 🙂
Just remember that when it happens, you read it here first and to contact me immediately because I'll be able to guide you to safety.
There is a time for everything and everything has its own time.
So until then I leave you with the full knowledge that you are already saved. Not through me but through the power of Heaven who speaks to you in your hidden places.
God bless you,

Who Chooses?
One of the difficulties that some have in the fact of predestination is that our freedom of choice seems to not be part of this situation. Actually, this is one of Paul's points exactly. According to Paul, we may like to think that we have complete freedom of choice in all matters of life, but in reality, there is much about our existence that, as far as we know, we had no part in determining.
We were not consulted when and where we would be born, for instance, and into which family. Certainly, as any teen-ager will tell you, if we would have chosen our appearance or how our bodies would look, we would have made them much differently.
It is the same with our personal freedom. The truth be told, Paul tells us that we are always indebted to something or to someone. When one is indebted, one's freedom is always limited in one respect or another. We are either indebted to our own sinful nature (which Paul calls "the flesh") or we are indebted to God because he has chosen to redeem us. Here is how Paul puts it: "So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live" (Romans 8:12-13 ESV).
Normally, being indebted to someone restricts one's freedom, since in some ways, the man that is in debt is at least partially owned by the creditor. However, whatever we may think about being indebted to God, Paul says that if God is our creditor, this indebtedness actually is our path to freedom. To understand Paul's line of thought, we regress a little in this portion of the letter to the Romans:
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!" The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ. (Romans 8:15-17 ESV)
Here we again see (as we did in the previous post) the past, present and the future aspects of predestination. As Paul continues in his letter to the Romans, we also again see how he means this to be a message of comfort. It should be a comfort especially to those who are enduring present-day difficulties:
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God…
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. (Romans 8:18-21; 26-27 ESV)
It is only after all of this that Paul begins to talk about
how the suffering that we may presently be experiencing is not even worth comparing to the glory that will one day be revealed to us. This is assurance. This is the confidence with which Paul is telling us that we may live our lives:
how the suffering that we may presently be experiencing is not even worth comparing to the glory that will one day be revealed to us. This is assurance. This is the confidence with which Paul is telling us that we may live our lives:
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?... Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?... For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:31, 35, 38-39 ESV)
(If what Paul says is true about God choosing us, upon what does he base that choice? We will look into that a little in the next post in a couple of days)

Clad in a business suit, the youngest member in the family has arrived in "The Boss Baby." In DreamWorks Animation's latest trailer reveal, there's no question who the boss is in this family – the one who wears the suit and throws an enormous fit of tantrums when things don't go his way, ergo, "The Boss Baby."
The titular character, "The Boss Baby" is voiced by talented veteran actor Alec Baldwin, and from the day the baby arrived, seven-year-old Tim (Miles Bakshi) knew this fast-talking, briefcase-carrying baby was trouble – after all, there's only so much love to go around, right? But as Tim embarks on a mission to win back the sole affection of his parents, voiced by Liza Kudrow and Jimmy Kimmel, he stumbles upon a secret plot that threatens to destroy the balance of love in the world – and this brash baby executive masquerading as his new brother is at the center of it all. Now, they must come together as true brothers to stop the dastardly scheme, save their parents, restore order to the world, and prove that love is indeed an infinite force.
Based on Marla Frazee's 2010 award-winning picture book of the same title "The Boss Baby," the movie is directed by Tom McGrath and will open on April 15, 2017 (in Phils. cinemas) from DreamWorks Animation and 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.
Here's the trailer:

Millions of men and women may be lining up to their favorite video store because there's reportedly a new Kim Kardashian sex tape on the market.
The homemade movie allegedly features Kim Kardashian with ex-boyfriend Ray J engaging in sexual acts again.
The former couple's first sex tape dropped in 2007 named "Kim Kardashian: Superstar."
Kim is reportedly horrified at the idea of the tape being released because she doesn't want it to disrupt her relationship with rapper Kanye West.
She has not officially commented on the rumor.

This limited terroir, is formed by materials of the Palaeozoic era, mainly Devonian, Carboniferous shale (formed between 416 and 318 million years ago), therefore the oldest that can be found in Catalonia today. The soils are shallow, usually from a single horizon and immediately below (about 10-15 cm) is the bedrock. They have a low organic content matter and are formed mostly by the disintegration of the slate, which is called llicorella, and are laminated and broken rocks of a dark copper colour between which the roots of the vines dig deep in search of moisture, water and nutrients.
This section reproduces fragments of the text 'Priorat Vineyard', by Rafael López Monné, included in the book EL PRIORAT (Lunwerg SL and regulatory Council of the DOQ Priorat, 2009):
'in times of the universal deluge whereby God punished men for the sins they had committed, the waters rose 30 Palms above the highest mountain in the world, [...] as the water remained for 115 days as the Scriptures say, one can deduce that with so many days the Earth broke up in pieces to the bottom [...] Just as the earth that fell from the mountains, depending on from where it falls, contains its own substance, so will the wine have the sap according to the barrel it came from'.
In this way an educated farmer from Porrera explained, at the end of the 18th century, the reasons why the wine of his country had a special taste. One needs to know that 'all mountains by common are composed of three spices that are: llicorella, soldó and lime; although there are more spices '. Llicorella – also called licorella, llicorell or llecorell – is the undoubted star of the Priorat denomination of origin, although there are some areas that do not contain it, such as the foot of Montsant and much of the same mountain. The origin of the word is linked to the term llècol, which is used to indicate mood, taste or tasty 'pastossitat'. The etymology comes from the Celtic likka, meaning stone. Stone, taste, slate, licorella - all of these words have become synonyms in the Priorat.
Currently, the almost atavistic footprint of the stone, slate, is still very present. One merely has to browse the tasting notes of their wines to read of 'mineral taste', 'touches of slate', etc. It seems as though the llicorella dissolves in the sugars of the grapes that grow on it.
This is a specific area, easily definable on a map with a time honoured history, many traditions and spectacular scenery. It is the land of "llicorella", which quickly changes from the gently undulating mountain slopes to abrupt cliff faces where an observer always poses the question as to how on earth they even dared to plant vineyards here!
As for the soil, it is relatively acidic with very little organic material. The soil is mainly made up of slate, known locally as "llicorella" (singular) or "llicorelles" (plural). These flat, easily breakable deeply copper coloured stones are where the vine roots delve in search of water and nutrients. It is these soils which are recognised as giving Priorat wines their greatest virtues.
Types of llicorella
The main types of llicorella that can be found around the DOQ Priorat are the following:
Origin of the sample: Comadecases (Poboleda) and Garranxa (Porrera)
Distribution: It is found throughout the D.O.Ca. Priorat wine growing area. It is the most characteristic soil type in the D.O.Ca. Priorat.
Geological Period: Carboniferous (350 million years)
Features: Metamorphic rock of a fine or very fine texture, it is foliated and breaks up easily. It can present varied morphology in terms of colour and appearance. The prevailing colours are blue or brown.
2. "PISSARRA GRESOSA" ("Saldó" in local language)
Origin of the sample: Solanes (Porrera) and Coll Beix (Poboleda)
Distribution: It is found throughout the D.O.Ca. Priorat wine growing area.
Geological Period: Carboniferous (350 million years)
Features: Metamorphic rock made up of a sedimentary sandstone. It features a grainy texture with larger grain and foliation. It usually breaks up into blocks and it mainly occurs in brown tones.
Origin of the sample: Canyerets (Vilella Alta)
Distribution: It is found around a central axis going from east to west in the D.O.Ca. Priorat wine growing area in the subzones of Vilella Alta, Torroja, Porrera.
It is the oldest kind of rock in the DOCa. Priorat.
Geological Period: Devonian (400 million years)
Features: Metamorphic rock of a fine or very fine texture. It is very foliated and breaks up easily. This rock usually contains a lot of quartz or other mineral veins and a covering of oxides that give it a reddish or yellowish appearance. The main colours are dark blues, greys or near black.
Origin of the sample: Les Sentius (subzone of Porrera)
Distribution: It is found in a zone, which comes into contact with the batholitic granite near Falset. It occurs especially in the south of the D.O.Ca. Priorat, particularly in the subzones of Bellmunt, Porrera and the "masos" of Falset.
Geological Period: Carboniferous (350 million years)
Features: Metamorphic rock submitted to high pressure due to contact with intrusive materials (granite). It presents a fine grained mud texture and a high level of schist that gives it a very laminated structure. It is of bluish or darker colours. Its main feature is its spots, that give it its freckled appearance.

Our colleagues at Philantopic have been posting major foundations' statements on the current economic situation. With the happy exception of the Gates Foundation, the words "grow our payout" are conspicuous by their absence from these statements–and even Gates modifies the phrase with the unwelcome word "less." Typical of the statements is the one from the Voldemort Foundation [name changed to protect the guilty], which leads with the all-important question, "How is the Foundation doing?" As though the health of our nation's repositories of unspent private wealth really were–or should be–everyone else's most pressing concern.
Which leads the Nonprofiteer to wonder, not for the first time, why our sector pays any attention to anything written by a foundation executive which omits the words "Pay to the order of." If now is not the time to increase foundation payouts–when governments are strapped, businesses are shaky, and individuals are tapped out–when would be? And if it's never time to spend more than 5 percent of charitable money on charity, what is the justification for the foundations' tax-favored status?
This point was made several months ago more calmly and thoroughly by Steven M. Teles at the Reality-Based Community (a broad-spectrum policy blog edited by the Nonprofiteer's brother). He was right then, and is even more right now, when he pointed out that increased payouts are only a bad idea "if your basic mission is to stay in business forever. That's not the purpose of charitable foundations. Their purpose is to support groups and causes that reflect the objectives of those who endowed the foundation in the first place."
Mr. Teles advocated "shaming" foundations into assuming this component of their responsibility. Absent any evidence that foundations feel shame, the Nonprofiteer advocates taxing them into it.
If not now, when? And if not the foundations, who?

Map of Britten
Alde River walk
While living at the Old Mill, Britten would walk along the Alde River as part of his daily routine while planning the direction of his compositions. The Alde has one of the most beautiful estuaries on the east coast of England and is a haven for wildlife. The landscape and soundscape are written into the fibre of Britten's music – Curlew River no doubt named after the curlews on the Alde. Today you can take several walks along the river – the Sailor's Path to Aldeburgh and a walk around Snape Warren along the north bank, and a walk to Iken along the south bank. You can also take a river trip from Snape Maltings quay.

The digital images below were recorded using a 30-micron thin section of a piece of glauconitic sandstone recovered from Hazlet, New Jersey. The rock dates back to the Cretaceous period and is a greenish color with brown seams and having some fossils present. Photomicrographs reveal tabular particles of dark brown altered glauconite having a variety of internal structures.
Darkfield illumination digital images were captured using an Intel Play QX3 computer microscope modified for reflected light darkfield illumination. Oblique light was applied to the specimens using light pipes from a Dolan-Jenner Model 180 fiber optics illuminator containing a 150 watt projection lamp. The mixing chamber and diffusion screen were removed from the stage and a large piece of dark construction paper placed beneath the stage to avoid images of the paper being superimposed over the photomicrographs.

This week's card is the King of Wands which represents: a dark man, someone friendly, a country man, generally married, honest, and conscientious. The physical and emotional nature to which this card is attributed is dark, ardent, lithe, animated, impassioned, and noble. I like to think this is the classic, "You will meet a tall, dark, and handsome man" card.
Let us know, is this pertinent to your day or week? How so? Or just let us know that you think the lizard in the corner is cute! We might share what it means if you do.

Sometimes God calms the storm. Sometimes God calms the sailor. But sometimes He makes us swim.
A smooth sea never made a skillful sailor.
Hi. I recently found your blog and your words melted my heart. Why? I've been through same, so I can relate. Don't lose hope. I have two beautiful children, after suffering a first trimester miscarriage, and also a blighted ovum. My fibroid was pregnancy induced, and shrunk right after I gave birth to my first child.
I concur, "nobody will understand". I encourage you to cry when you feel like it, and let it all out. It's really important to grieve, and in the end, you will be ecstatic when you get to hold your first baby...God bless :-)
Hi Delia. Thank you for your words of encouragement, they are comforting. Sometimes it's hard to see the forest through the trees, but each day I am becoming more and more hopeful for the future and our future little ones. Thanks again, I appreciate your time in commenting here.Delete

When we eat, we launch a complex series of digestive, endocrine, and metabolic physiologic processes. Numerous cells, tissues, organs, and systems are involved in turning our carrots, apples, grains, and proteins into energy that helps us live good lives. These complex processes don't happen on their own, though. They require timely instructions and guidance from the nerve system to work effectively and produce a coordinated result.
Chiropractic care helps the nerve system do its job as the body's master system. Chiropractic care removes nerve interference that can cause important signals to be distorted or delayed. By helping ensure that the nerve system is free of interference, chiropractic care assists us in achieving peak physiologic performance, promoting long-term health and well-being.

After a 4-1 victory on Thursday night, the Mets continue their five-game series against the Phillies in Philadelphia tonight at 7:05 PM.
Rafael Montero (0-2, 4.96 ERA) gets the start for the Mets and will be opposed by A.J. Burnett (3-4, 3.51 ERA) for the Phillies.
Last Start: Montero earned a no-decision in the Mets' 2-1 defeat to the Diamondbacks on May 25 despite a dominant pitching performance. He tossed 6.0 innings, allowing one run while striking out a season-high 10 batters.
Injury Update: Noah Syndergaard, who is currently on the disabled list with a mild flexor-pronator strain in his right elbow, has been long-tossing and is expected to rejoin the Las Vegas rotation on June 5.
Ramble On: The Mets have scored 4.91 runs per game on the road, which is the most in the National League. The Dodgers are second (4.65 runs per game).
Oldie But Goodie: Bobby Abreu is hitting .308 (8-26) with a home run and five RBI in eight starts this season. Abreu has hit .300 (225-749) with 33 home runs and 142 RBI in 219 career games at Citizens Bank Park.
Starting Lineup
- Juan Lagares – CF
- Daniel Murphy – 2B
- David Wright – 3B
- Curtis Granderson – LF
- Bobby Abreu – RF
- Lucas Duda – 1B
- Travis d'Arnaud – C
- Ruben Tejada – SS
- Rafael Montero – RHP
The Mets and Phillies play game two of the five game set tonight, as the Mets look to stretch their winning streak to four games. Why have they won three games in a row? I blame 50 Cent. Throwing the ceremonial first pitch changed the course of the Mets. Anyway, Wheeler was phenomenal last night and the Mets bats were able to scratch out some runs (even a bases loaded walk! although that is all they did with the bases juiced). Tonight Montero gets the start against Burnett.
Montero is 0-2 on the season over three games with a 4.96 ERA and 16.1 innings while striking out 17 batters. His last start was easily the best of his career (of three major league games) where he allowed 2 hits and one run and walked 3 while striking out 10 batters over 6 innings. The Mets offense stunk that day so he received a no decision. This is his first start of many against the Phillies, so they have no major league stats against Montero.
Burnett is 3-4 over 11 starts and 66.2 innings and a 3.51 ERA this season. In his last four starts he pitched 23.0 innings with a 6.26 ERA. Last year he faced the Mets once allowing 2 ER and 7 hits over 5.2 innings. The Mets have the following numbers against Burnett:
- Abreu 24-76, 9 2B, 2 HR
- Wright 3-21, 2B
- Granderson 3-13, 2 2B, HR
- Murphy 2-10
- Tejada 0-3
Lets Go Mets!

If Magnolia BMX became a person, we picture her to be like Perris Benegas. Humble, positive and always smiling, Perris has 7 years of riding experience and even placed first at her very first competition at the Toronto BMX Jam. As of late, Perris has been picking up a lot of positive attention from her edit in January, and her recent one "Catching up with Perris Benegas". Naturally, we felt that she would be a perfect addition to the team.
Amelia and Perris will be joining our core team, which currently includes Peta Shepherd, Rebecca Pergentile, Monika Hinz and Miyuki Dezaki. Check us out for future updates over at www.magnoliabmx.org

This Week in my Belly:
Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.
See what your baby looks like this week.

Introducing Yourtime.Intridea
The average commuter spends eight days every year just traveling to and from work. Not us: every Intridean works from home. This means we saved an aggregate of 9,380 hours last year for the things we love instead of sitting in a car or a bus.
We wondered how our peers spend their time, so we asked. We didn't know what to expect: skateboarding, civil war re-enactment, extreme knitting?
As it turns out, 40% of Intrideans mentioned spending more time with family: Ben got to see his son take his first steps. Linus started playing the piano again—after a fifteen year hiatus. Kathleen, Chris, Batman, Javie, Mike, Serign, and Tom all run. We've shared our stories in a mini-site built using maps from Tilemill.
In the coming weeks, we'll dig deeper into the numbers. Yourtime is the first part of a platform we're building to measure our lives, our health, and our carbon footprint. We'll share our experiences as we grow, and soon you'll be able to add your own company's team to the board.

Book Notes - James Meek "The Heart Broke In"
In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book.
Previous contributors include Bret Easton Ellis, Kate Christensen, Kevin Brockmeier, George Pelecanos, Dana Spiotta, Amy Bloom, David Peace, Myla Goldberg, Heidi Julavits, Hari Kunzru, and many others.
James Meek's novel The Heart Broke In is an ambitious and unique family drama that cleverly explores the limits of loyalty and love.
Kirkus Reviews wrote of the book:
"Richly drawn characters behaving in unexpected ways make Meek's (We are Now Beginning our Descent, 2008, etc.) latest a gem."
Stream a Spotify playlist of these tunes. If you don't have Spotify yet, sign up for the free service.
In his own words, here is James Meek's Book Notes music playlist for his novel, The Heart Broke In:
The artist Eddie Farrell introduced me to Louis Prima in one of the mix tapes he sent me from Scotland when I lived in Moscow in the 1990s and I got into It's The Rhythm In Me in a big way during the writing of The Heart Broke In. I imagine Harry tonking this out on the piano in Scotland in 1987 while Alex is surreptitiously drumming along upstairs; in England, young Bec is playing Soft Cell on the recorder and Ritchie is playing Here Comes Your Man in his room; and in Northern Ireland, Captain Shepherd is being shot.
At the end of January 2010 I arrived in New York to spend a month in a west village studio sublet, working on the book. I wanted to get away from London and see some people. It snowed a lot. Gary Trudeau took me out to lunch and said 'New York in January? Have you never heard of the Caribbean?' and I thought: 'He's right.' Perhaps I kept listening to Lady Gaga's Bad Romance in those days because it's the kind of huge synthetic aural space my mind can fly in; perhaps, without my being aware of it, it was the lyrics that grabbed me, because bad romance was what had really drawn me to Manhattan in winter.
'So now I am older/ Than my mother and father/ When they had their daughter/ Now what does that say about me?' If artists are, as I suspect, victims of a particular delusion, believing themselves to be members of a race of exceptionally long-lived beings who know that they are doomed to die young - that is, at 75, rather than their allotted span of 750 - it would explain the precocious questioning of musicians like Neil Young and Robin Pecknold of the Fleet Foxes, whose song Montezuma these lines come from. They combine a sense of imminent mortality with the languor of their Methusalan kin, who know they can spend years doing nothing but thinking and making music, because they have centuries to spare.
If each character in The Heart Broke In were to have a song, Jackson C. Frank's Blues Run The Game would be Dougie's, the ballad of a life rigged against you. Paul Simon's old buddy didn't write much but many who've written more have never written anything as good as this. Strumming guitar badly and singing is one of my rest and distraction activities while writing and this is easy to play the basic chords of: G, C and D. In the days before buskers went electric it would have sounded great in the tunnels at Tottenham Court Road tube. It's not just that the buskers have amps, either. They're more upbeat than they used to be. In London these days you feel the buskers stake their repertoire on virtuosity rather than soul.
I saw the Arctic Monkeys in a concert in a shitty London corporate venue long after I'd got them - or an even younger version - in my head as a model for The What, the precocious rockers who try to sneak onto Ritchie's teen makeover show by faking incompetence. I love From The Ritz To The Rubble: there's a tension between the storytelling and the energy of the music. It's as if Alex Turner is trying to make himself heard over the northern English urban energy that feeds him...
...but the song I imagined The What covering in front of Ritchie and Midge is Karen Dalton's Something On Your Mind. What a voice! And what a perfect distillation of the sub-surface world of human relations. Thanks to the mixtape magician Hannah for introducing me to this song.
Leonard Cohen is one of the great songwriters. I saw him at the Albert Hall a couple of years ago and it seemed to me that in his seventies not only was his voice better than it had ever been but he was a happy old man. There are some lovely chord changes in Leonard Cohen songs, and I used one of the transitions in Sisters of Mercy for Ritchie to teach his daughter to play guitar. Cohen wrote this song for the Robert Altman film McCabe And Mrs Miller. I rented the DVD and struggled to make out what the characters were saying. I thought I was going deaf until I looked at Peter Biskind's Easy Riders, Raging Bulls and saw he devoted two pages to how bad the sound was on that movie: Warren Beatty told Biskind he couldn't understand what the characters were saying, either, and he was in it.
In The Heart Broke In Alex abandons drumming for science long before The White Stripes comes along. Too bad: there are some great numbers there for drummers whose drumming is an advanced form of fidgeting. The Hardest Button to Button is a track that anyone, but particularly a mildly asocialized intellectual who needs to be distracted in order to concentrate, can and will play along to by beating their hands on the edge of the table.
What if Linda Thompson had never met Richard Thompson? Would she have ended up with some good provider dirtbag like Ritchie in The Heart Broke In? I offer no comment on the real life on the Thompsons, of which I know nothing. But Linda's performance of I Need You At The Dimming Of The Day and A Heart Needs A Home (the BBC session version) is, to me, the lyrical, melodic expression of the hope and belief Karin invests in Ritchie when she takes a long bet on him as a family man.
The Hold Steady is the band Ritchie should have fronted. Sexy, rocking, yearning bards of chaos, brilliant, effortless, almost out of reach and still touchable, coming out with songs like Hot Soft Light: 'Started recreational/ It ended kinda medical.' Instead Karin subordinated her talent to Ritchie, and Ritchie, aiming for the Pixies, landed somewhere between Keane and Snow Patrol.
Townes van Zandt's Pancho and Lefty is the perfect song for the strumming writer to pick up and play. Five easy open chords, a clear melody and chorus, no bridge, a comfortable baritone and not much of a vocal range required. It's also a writer's inspiration; simple as it seems, the story it tells has an incredible fractal quality. It works perfectly as a four verse song, but it could just as easily be a 90-minute movie, an epic poem, or a 300-page novel.
We like sad songs for the same reason we like sadness in novels: the point is not the sadness, but the expansion of the psychic space available for suffering - cities of sadness, parks of sadness, restaurants of sadness, a world of sadness rich enough not to fee alone in, and civilized enough to lend nobility to your presence there. Juliette Greco's L'Amour Est Parti is the ticket.
When I heard The Streets' Turn The Page I didn't think 'great music' or 'poetry.' I thought 'A brilliant young English writer - they don't come along too often.'
