Claudia Lee wasn't born during the heyday of parachute pants, scrunchies and Jesus Jones, but the 17-year-old Indiana native has gotten a crash course in 1990s trivia starring on "Surviving Jack."
Debuting at 8:30 p.m. March 27, the new Fox comedy is based on the childhood of writer Justin Halpern, who created the [Bleep] My Dad Says Twitter feed. Set in the early '90s, it stars Christopher Meloni as Jack Dunlevy, a no-nonsense dad who takes over most of the parenting duties of his teen daughter and son when his wife, Joanne (Rachael Harris), goes back to law school.
Lee plays Rachel Dunlevy, the savvy 17-year-old who knows how to work her parents to get exactly what she wants, much to the amazement of her younger brother, Frankie (Connor Buckley).
"She's the female version of her father," Lee said, "and it's very cool to play a confident, popular teenager."
Lee was able to roll right into the new role from her previous gig on The CW's "Hart of Dixie," where she played another teen, Magnolia Breeland. And, she said during a Wednesday interview at RedEye, she has experience pushing boundaries with her own father, Klaudius.
"I test my father all the time ..." she said as her dad winked—maybe in agreement. "Sometimes I think I'm the reason why he has gray hair."
Her parents' must be used to it by now. Lee was born in West Lafayette in 1996 and by the age of 5, she regularly asked why she didn't have an agent or a manager. "I think they were very alarmed," she said.
After attending an acting camp at 13, she finally got a manager and in 2009 moved to Hollywood, where she booked a national commercial and a role on Disney XD's "Zeke and Luther."
Lee grew up listening to late '90s music from Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block, but she didn't know much about tunes from earlier in the era until "Surviving Jack." Her costar Harris said in a conference call earlier in the week that when Harris and the makeup and hair stylists would sing those songs, "we would just get blank stares from Claudia Lee."
"Rachael was always like, 'Claudia you need to listen to Peter Gabriel,' and I was like, 'Peter Gabriel, what?'" Lee said.
Lee did take Harris' advice about at least one '90s-ism while filming the eight-episode season.
"She said, 'Oh my God, you have to say "No, doy,"'" Lee said. "And I was like, 'They said that in the '90s? I really hope they didn't.'"
They did, and now Lee does, too—at least on TV.
What's happening to Magnolia now that you're on this show?
I don't know what's going to happen with "Hart of Dixie." My main focus right now is "Surviving Jack."She tests her dad—and her mom.
She is testing her father a little bit ... She is a straight A student and that's where her intelligence plays in. When you're a teenager you always think you're right, but she has those moments where she realizes, "Oh, maybe I'm not so right after all."
She knows how to get away with things?
Oh yeah, of course. She likes getting by with her good looks.
Is Rachel going to get into even more trouble than she does with Mango in the first episode?
Oh yes, she does. There's an episode where she joins the wrestling team, which is really cool. You guys will have to see that. Also we have a homecoming episode where she kind of fights for what she believes in and I think will be a little shocked at what she's promoting. They'll be like, "Wow, her morals are very messed up."
I don't see her as a rough-and-tumble wrestling type.
I don't know. You'll just have to see how it works out. She does work that outfit though. That one-piece is so attractive. [Laughs.]
Has it been fun to learn about the early 1990s, which you missed?
It really has. I love the fashion from the 90s. I know everyone thinks it's awful, but it was really cool creating that side to my character because our designer, Marian Toy, would not let my character repeat an outfit. It was like a pure joy to wake up early in the morning and see what I was going to wear. And everything matched—like we had two scrunchies on one wrist, a scrunchie in the hair. Everything was coordinated and everything worked.
Rachel sounds maybe a little spoiled?
She's a little spoiled.
Which parent allows her to get away with more?
I think she gets away with things from both parents. They just can't keep up with her because she's so ahead of the game. I think they're more in shock and kind of taken aback by how their daughter just plans everything out. And it's really cool to see them kind of have moments like, "Wow, we created this monster."
Is it odd playing in this era where there was no Internet or cell phones?
I love it because sometimes I wish I didn't have a cell phone. But I love being connected with all of my fans and I love tweeting and instagramming. But I think that something is not going to hurt my generation, but going to affect their relationships and how they interact with people. Nowadays people are so comfortable behind this kind of protective wall of being able to say whatever they want, but they can't say it to your face.
What's it like to work with Chris and Rachael?
It's amazing. I respect them so much. I love Chris; I think he's such a wonderful person. I love how serious he is about his craft and how he has a vision for everything and if he has an opinion he'll say it. He wants the best for the scene. I love working with him and I truly respect him. Many people are intimidated by him because of the characters he's played in the past, but I think that's out of a sense of respect. He's someone I look up to. I love how he's such a lovely father in real life. It's kind of cool because I hang out with his daughter.
Rachael has said, "I want to be Claudia Lee when I grow up." What's your reaction?
It's so lovely to hear her say that; she's said that to my face. I respect Rachael so much and think she is such a lovely person. I love working with her and she's such a talented comedienne. She can look at a scene and find five different ways to sell the joke and they'll all be brilliant. She's just always about what's the best thing we can do for the show. I love the fact that she has such respect for me as well because being a kid sometimes it's tough when you're working in an adult environment ... I think it's such a huge compliment and it makes me feel a little warm inside.
Do you ever get to go back to Indiana?
I do get to go back to Indiana but not as often as I'd like. But when I do go back I'm like, "OK, I need to go back to California." It's such a slow-paced lifestyle and I'm used to things happening so last-minute or always being on the go.
We talked about you coming to Lollapalooza this summer, but tell me about your music?
I recorded my album when I was 13 and I'm going to be 18 in June. So I have definitely grown up. The things that I sang about when I was 13 are very different from what I've been working on now. I love music; I think it's very personal and relatable and everyone responds to it differently. So I've just been creating music to kind of have fun and have a good time. A lot of my friends are successful in the music industry and it's kind of our hangout mode. We hang out and create music and that's our fun.
You got to sing on "Hart of Dixie?"
Yeah that was really cool. It was one of my own songs from my album and that was a really fun moment.

The San Francisco 49ers have been in need of depth at the tight end position ever since Delanie Walker elected to sign with the Tennessee Titans in March.
With only Vernon Davis and Garrett Celek as the only two true tight ends on the roster, the 49ers were in need of additional help. According to Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com, the 49ers are expected to sign former Seattle Seahawks tight end Cameron Morrah.
Morrah played college football in the Bay Area at the University of California-Berkeley and was a seventh round selection by the Seahawks in 2009. Morrah has struggled with injuries the last two seasons. He played in just nine games in 2011 as a toe injury forced him to begin the season on the physically unable to perform list. The toe continued to be an issue for Morrah last year as he landed on injured reserve at the end of training camp.
Morrah has appeared in 27 games in four years and has 16 catches for 194 yards.

The Texans signed three running backs earlier this week just in case, but they're hoping at least one of the regulars is able to go this weekend.
According to Brian Smith of the Houston Chronicle, Ben Tate (ribs) practiced, and said earlier this week he expects to play Sunday night against the Colts.
Arian Foster (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday but ran on the side with trainers, and coach Gary Kubiak wasn't ready to rule him out.
"Arian went out and stretched, did some stuff and did some walkthrough. And then he worked with the trainers," Kubiak said. "I think he's going to do everything he can to be there. But I think it'll be an end of the week decision, so we'll see. He did do some things, just not with the team once we got going."
Tate (ribs) said Monday he plans to play against Indy. He went through a light practice Wednesday.
"I think it's still going to be end of the week. We'll see how he comes out [Thursday], how sore is he," Kubiak said.
Having both would help, but getting one of them back would be significant, as they try to salvage something with Case Keenum starting at quarterback.

"It's only cigarette smoking, it's not like a crime punishable by death"
Video discusses the concept of whether a cigarette induced death should be considered a murder, suicide or an accident.
"It's only cigarette smoking. It's not
like a crime punishable by death"
"So I failed in quitting smoking, big deal. I'm not going to feel guilty or be hard on myself. I mean, it is only cigarette smoking - it is not like a crime punishable by death." I had to refrain from laughing at this statement. It was seriously quoted to me by a clinic participant who failed to abstain from smoking for even two days. She had the same old excuses of new job, family pressures, too many other changes going on.
But to say that cigarette smoking isn't a crime punishable by death - that was news to me. According to the United Nations, tobacco kills 4.9 million users per year. While we know that these people were killed by tobacco, it is hard to classify these deaths. Were they murders, suicides or accidents?
When examining the influence of the tobacco industry, one is tempted to call all tobacco related deaths murder. The tobacco industry uses manipulative advertising trying to make smoking appear harmless, sexy, sophisticated, and adult. These tactics help manipulate adults and kids into experimenting with this highly addictive substance. The tobacco industry knows that if they can just get people started, they can hook them on cigarettes and milk them for thousands of dollars over the smokers' lifetimes.
The tobacco institute always contradicts the research of all credible medical institutions that have unanimously stated that cigarettes are lethal. The tobacco institute tries to make people believe that all these attacks on cigarettes are lies. If the medical profession was going to mislead the public about cigarettes, it would be by minimizing the dangers, not exaggerating them. The medical profession has a vested interest in people continuing to smoke. After all, the more people smoke, the more work there is in treating serious and deadly diseases. But the medical profession recognizes its professional and moral obligation to help people be healthier. On the other hand, the tobacco industry's only goal is to get people to smoke, no matter what the cost.
It could be argued that a smoking death is suicide. While the tobacco industry may dismiss the dangers, any smoker with even average intelligence knows that cigarettes are bad for health but continues to smoke anyway. But I do not believe in classifying most of the smoking deaths as suicidal. Although a smoker knows the risk and still doesn't stop, it is not that he is trying to kill himself. He smokes because he doesn't know how to stop.
A smoking related death is more accidental than suicidal. For while the smoker may die today, his death was in great part due to his first puffs twenty or more years ago. When he started smoking the dangers were unknown. Society made smoking acceptable, if not mandatory in certain groups. Not only did he not know the danger, but also he was unaware of the addictive nature of nicotine. So by the time the dangers were known, he was hooked into what he believed was a permanent way of life. Any smoker can quit, but unfortunately many don't know how.
Whatever the classification–murder, suicide or accident–the end result is the same. You still have a chance, you are alive, and you know how to quit. Take advantage of this knowledge. Don't become a smoking statistic – NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF!

Author Notes: I'm still a novice when it comes to macarons, sometimes I over beat and get no feet and others I just have little meringue cookie explosions...but I love coming up with great flavor combinations and even the ugliest ones taste pretty good. I find precision pays with macaron, so I use a scale to measure ingredients. I grew up drinking thick frothy mexican hot chocolate and my mom always put a sprinkle of chile on top. This is a much more refined way to get the same flavor. You definitely want to use the best quality milk chocolate (I use Valrhona) to give you that milky sweetness with a good chocolate punch. The golden syrup in the ganache is reminiscent of the raw sugar taste of piloncillo and I use enough arbol chile powder to give you a little kick of flowery heat, but it's not overpowering -- heat seekers could probably add up to 1/4 tsp more or even a pinch of cayenne. —MGrace
Makes: 16 macaron (32 shells)
For the Cinnamon Macaron
grams almond flour
grams confectioner's sugar (10x)
1 1/4
teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2
teaspoons powdered egg white
grams granulated sugar
teaspoon cream of tartar
egg whites, aged
drops pink liquid food color
aleppo pepper, for sprinkling cookie tops
For the Spicy Chili Ganache
ounces semi sweet chocolate
ounces milk chocolate
cup heavy cream
tablespoon golden syrup
teaspoon arbol chile powder
sea salt
tablespoon butter
- One to two days before you are going to make cookies, separate your egg whites and place in fridge to age them. On the day of baking, remove from fridge several hours before you are going to bake to come to room temperature. If your almond flour seems moist, dry it out in a low oven for a few minutes (15-20 min at 200).
- Cut a piece of parchment to fit your sheet tray, using a 1 1/2" ring mold or cookie cutter trace out circles about 1" apart (with pencil). You can either turn the parchment over and bake on the back side of the circles or place under a silicone mat to use as a piping guide to ensure similar sized cookies.
- Whisk together your almond flour, confectioner's sugar and cinnamon, then run through a fine mesh sieve. Set aside.
- In a large bowl (or the bowl of your stand mixer if you are using-I just use a hand mixer since I don't have a stand mixer) whisk together the granulated sugar and powdered egg whites. Add in the cream of tartar and egg whites. Whisk until combined and slightly frothy, then beat with electric mixer on medium until stiff peaks form. This takes about 11 minutes, don't rush by turning your mixer too high.
- Fold in by hand with a spatula the almond flour, confectioner's sugar and cinnamon mixture. Once it is about 50% mixed drop in your pink food coloring. Keep folding until color is smooth (no streaks) and batter is fluffy but slightly holds it shape when dropped off the spatula. Spoon into a disposable pastry bag or gallon size storage bag with the zip cut off. Cut off the tip leaving a 1/2" opening. You could also use a pastry tip with a similar size (but I don't have such fancy equipment ;)
- Pipe onto your parchment or silicone mat following your guide by squeezing firmly directly into the middle of the circle until it is full and about 1/4" tall, then release and pull up on bag to release. If you cannot fit all your cookies on one tray, just leave the batter in the pastry bag set in a tall glass with the top folded over so you don't develop a skin on your batter. Very firmly whack your sheet tray on the counter five times to get rid of any air bubbles. Sprinkle the tops of half of your cookies with a pinch of aleppo pepper. Then let sit on the counter for about 20 minutes, to aid in developing a smooth shell. Turn on the oven to 200.
- Bake at 200 for 15 minutes, turning sheet halfway through. Then raise oven temperature to 350 and bake for 9-11 minutes. After about 4 minutes at the higher temperature, stick a wooden spoon in the door of the oven. This helps prevent over browning. Turn the sheet again if you notice any unevenness in browning or rise. The cookies are done when firm to the touch (with a shell) but with some inner give. Better to take them out a bit early than too late as a chewy cookie is better than crispy.

text: I forgot to respond about Opteron vs Athlon 64... I have an Athlon 64 laptop and have not been particularly impressed with it as I have the Opterons. The Athlon 64 does have some serious thermal issues. Now, I must caveat that statement by saying that it is one of the mobile processors. (Athlon64 3400+). I run a dual boot with Suse Professional for AMD64 and Win2K. I get OK performance when running alpha and beta codes on the linux side. Linux reports the processor as an 800 MHz CPU. It seems to get better performance under Win2K... I do not know that it does, it is just my perception. My recommendation is to spend your money on opterons when choosing between them and Athlon64.

Through the first seven games of the season, Ole Miss has played the toughest schedule in the nation, according to Sagarin's ratings. The Rebels (4-3, 2-3 Southeastern Conference) continue to their six-game home stand over seven weeks, as they welcome FBS Independent Idaho (1-6) for Homecoming this Saturday, with a kickoff set for 6:30 p.m. on CSS.
"We got to put it away and move forward," head coach Hugh Freeze said. "The gauntlet that we have gone through, it's taken a toll on us some physically and mentally. We certainly need to continue moving in the right direction in all areas. We got a team coming in this week that I'm sure will nothing to lose playing in an SEC home and have a chance to make some noise, just like many teams did last weekend. We don't want to be on the other end of that, so we have got to regain our kids' focus and elevate our concentration to do the little things right."
"It's going to make us a better team at the end of the year, just going through that stretch and playing such good competition," senior offensive lineman Emmanuel McCray said. "But we have to go out there and play every Saturday either way, no matter who we're playing, but it's good to get it out of the way. That was a tough, tough stretch."
Idaho is coached by Paul Petrino, who is in his first year as a collegiate head coach, having previously served as offensive coordinator at Louisville, Arkansas and Illinois. The Vandals' lone win was a 26-24 victory over winless Temple on Sept. 28, but did have close 45-35 loss to current No. 22-ranked Northern Illinois on Sept. 24.
"On game day, the team felt a little bit sleepy," said McCray, of Ole Miss' 31-13 win over Southeast Missouri. "We came out slow. We learned the lesson from that game and Auburn that we have to start fast, and we have to be passionate, no matter who we're playing. We have to be high energy because that's our identity. We play with passion, and we let that carry over on the field."
"As big as (the LSU win) was for us and the fan base, if we could go out there and don't show up against Idaho, that win doesn't really mean a lot," junior quarterback Bo Wallace said. "We know who we're playing this week, and we'll prepare just like they're any other team."
Wallace Has 'Best Game' Of Ole Miss Career
Junior quarterback Bo Wallace completed 30-of-39 passes for 346 yards, his third-straight 300-yard passing game, as the Ole Miss offense racked up 525 yards of total offense in the 27-24 win over No. 6 LSU.
"Bo played his best game he's played since he's been here," Freeze said. "I can only find two things to complain about, and hopefully we can get those cleaned up, and him play an even more complete game. Dan (Werner) did a great job with him all week making sure he understood our plan exactly."
"We needed a game like that," Wallace said. "We put up a lot of points against A&M. We knew that we were going to have to put up a lot of points with the defense and the injuries that they had. Everybody prepared, we got the game plan down early in the week, and then everybody executed.
The Rebels converted 11-of-18 third downs on Saturday, including two third downs on the game-winning drive, capped by senior kicker Andrew Ritter's 41-yard field goal. Facing 3rd-and-6, Wallace ran for six yards, then facing 3rd-and-9, Wallace connected with senior wide receiver Ja-Mes Logan for a 13-yard completion.
"We had to do something," said Wallace, of the final drive. "We couldn't leave it in the defense's hands again. We couldn't leave it anybody else's hands. We had to go down and score, and that's exactly what we did."
Wallace passed Archie Manning on the Ole Miss career passing yards list into seventh-place all-time (4,784), 187 passing yards behind Mark Young for sixth place. He also ranks fourth in the SEC in total offense (278.9 ypg) and fifth in passing (255.7 ypg).
Along the way, Wallace has also picked up the nickname Dr. Bo, which he said he knew about on Monday.
"Yeah, I am aware of it," Wallace said. "It came for a video game or something like that, so yeah I am aware of it... It's cool, I guess."
Engram Out For Season, Parker's Role To Increase
Freshman tight end Evan Engram underwent season-ending surgery on Monday, Freeze said, to repair his high ankle sprain. The Powder Springs, Ga., native ranked fourth on the team in receptions (20), third in receiving yards (265) and second in touchdowns (3). His 20 catches rank seventh-place all-time by a freshman in Ole Miss history.
"We lost Evan Engram for the year, which is a tough loss for us. He was on track to be a freshman All-American. He's a tremendous kid and was very important to our scheme. We don't have another one like him who can win some one-on-ones in space and do the blocking that we were asking him to do. Everyone knows the situation we are in at that position, so that's a difficult loss. And it's even worse because you know what these kids put in. He's such a great kid and going to be a tremendous leader for this program for years to come."
"It's going to change a little bit because he was that guy that we could go 11 personnel and do a lot of different things with, flex him out and things like that," said Wallace, of the loss of Engram. "Of course, it's going to change. It hurts me a little bit, not having him to stretch the field, but Nick Parker caught a touchdown, so he has to get prepared to play this week and be ready to go."
Senior Nicholas Parker, who caught a 3-yard touchdown pass against LSU, his first career reception and touchdown, is now listed as the starter at tight end. Seniors Jack Nuismer, Parker's backup on this week's depth chart, and Justin Bigham have also seen action in six games this year.
"Nick is a joy around this program," Freeze said. "He is loved by his teammates. He makes people laugh and goes to work every day. He's a local kid. So when he caught that touchdown, there was a lot of excitement and joy for him. His role will increase some, but we're different with him. He doesn't do some of the things that Evan could do, but he can do some things, so we'll certainly start using him more. And probably Justin Bigham and maybe (Jack Nuismer), those will be the three guys you will see right now."

On Friday morning President Obama spoke to an audience of young Mexicans at the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. The White House has posted the text of the speech here.
Obama is full of praise for Mexico. He "celebrates Mexico's ancient civilizations and their achievements in arts and architecture, medicine and mathematics." He praises Mexico's modern art. He appreciates Mexico's blend of cultures and traditions. At greater length he also lauds Mexico's political and economic evolution. In Mexico he sees a country full of dynamic progress.
Obama's praise of Mexico contrasts with his attitude toward the United States. "Some Americans only see the Mexico that is depicted in sensational headlines of violence and border crossings." That criticism is leavened by an acknowledgement that "some Mexicans think that America disrespects Mexico, or thinks that America is trying to impose itself on Mexican sovereignty, or just wants to wall ourselves off." Obama asserts that "it's time for us to put the old mind-sets aside," but he brought his old mindset to Mexico City. (Incidentally, it's time for us to put the dash in "mindset" aside.)
Obama expresses his understanding that "much of the root cause of violence that's been happening here in Mexico, for which many so Mexicans have suffered, is the demand for illegal drugs in the United States." And that's not all: "[W]e also recognize that most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States." In this context Obama omitted any mention of Fast & Furious. While he was interested in criticizing the United States, he wasn't much interested in self-criticism.
Obama recognizes a responsibility not to address illegal immigration into the United States directly: "We recognize we've got work to do on security issues, but we also recognize our responsibility — as a nation that believes that all people are created equal — we believe it's our responsibility to make sure that we treat one another with dignity and respect. And this includes recognizing how the United States has been strengthened by the extraordinary contributions of immigrants from Mexico and by Americans of Mexican heritage." Here Obama conferred the highest praise that resides in his lexicon: "[W]ithout the strong support of Latinos, including so many Mexican Americans, I would not be standing today as President of the United States. (Applause.) That's the truth." Thank you, Mexico!
Which brings Obama to a discussion of immigration reform before an audience of young Mexicans. Recall, while on this subject, that Mexico itself is a country that allows essentially no legal immigration. However evolved Mexico is now, it hasn't reached the highest stage of evolution toward which we are tending. Obama criticizes current American immigration law as insufficiently family friendly (!) and insufficiently hospitable to those here illegally in our midst (!):
And so given that is Americas [sic] heritage, given that we share a border with Mexico, given ties that run back generations, it is critical that the United States recognize the need to reform our immigration system — (applause) — because we are a nation of laws, but we're also a nation of immigrants. Like every nation we have a responsibility to ensure that our laws are upheld. But we also know that, as a nation of immigrants, the immigration system we have in the United States right now doesn't reflect our values. It separates families when we should be reuniting them. It's led to millions of people to live in the shadows. It deprives us of the talents of so many young people — even though we know that immigrants have always been the engine of our economy, starting some of our greatest companies and pioneering new industries.
This is a bizarre and yet characteristic Obama speech. When Jean Yarbrough renders her (harsh) judgment on Theodore Roosevelt in Theodore Roosevelt and the American Tradition, she tempers it with an acknowledgement of Roosevelt's rejection of hyphenated-Americanism, Roosevelt's insistence upon assimilation, "[a]nd, finally, Roosevelt's patriotism and love of country[.]" Although Obama draws inspiration from TR, Obama's Mexico City speech really sharpens the contrast with him.
UPDATE: I should add that David Martosko (Daily Mail) and Nile Gardiner (Telegraph) have good comments on Obama's Mexico City speech. Where is the American press?
And my friend Clark Griffith adds an historical view.

McCarthy, who was a finalist for superintendent in 2003, had been the top cop in Newark, N.J. McCarthy began his career in the New York Police Department, where he rose to prominence as a commander during the mid-1990s. He was hired to lead Newark's department in 2006. McCarthy grew up in an Irish Catholic family, the son of an NYPD detective and brother of a state trooper, attended a Catholic high school in the city and joined the police force just months after graduating from a state university. He was born May 4, 1959.

Now in its third year, the annual Joan & Martin Goldfarb Summer Institute in Visual Arts offers York University graduate students and the wider community the opportunity to engage with prominent international theorists, artists, curators and critics through seminars, workshops, courses and public lectures.
The 2011 Goldfarb Summer Institute, Engaged Practices, examines how art fosters a network of social complexity. The guest presenters will consider the materiality and representation of social and political questions generated in the studio and on the street, and by the innumerable nodes between them.
The public components of the Summer Institute include a keynote address at MOCCA and a seminar at York by internationally renowned theorist and educator Manuel De Landa, and on-campus talks by art historian and cultural theorist Lee Rodney, film scholar and theorist Irmgard Emmelhainz, and art historian, critic and curator Jessica Wyman.
As part of their residency in the Goldfarb Summer Institute, De Landa, Rodney, Emmelhainz and Wyman will meet with PhD candidates in visual arts at York. Other featured guests participating in on-campus discussions with students, responding to doctoral presentations and conducting studio visits will be Emelie Chhangur, assistant director/curator at the Art Gallery of York University; video artist and theorist Richard Fung, associate professor of Integrated Media at OCADU; and Ivan Jurakic, director/curator of the University of Waterloo Art Gallery.
The Summer Institute is named in recognition of Joan and Martin Goldfarb, longstanding supporters of York's Faculty of Fine Arts, whose generous gift has made this annual residency program possible.

If, When, Where and How to Say 'I Have HIV'
Disclosing That You Have HIV Is Something Every Person Living With HIV Struggles With; Careful Planning and Solid Support Can Go a Long Way
Summer 2013
My mother and two sisters sat beside me as I received the news over the phone that I had tested positive for HIV. They showered me with love and reminded me that they would always be there for me. Now I had to tell my father. My dad had warned me to "be careful out there" when I started dating after my divorce. I was terrified he would shun me or be disappointed. When I met with him, I got straight to the point: "Dad, I have some bad news: I just found out that I have HIV." He reached out, took my hands in his and said, "Don't worry, Shar. We're going to get through this together." I was surprised and relieved by his reaction, and for the most part he remained supportive until he passed away five years later.
Telling my father that I had been diagnosed with HIV was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. Since being diagnosed 20 years ago, I have disclosed my status to thousands of people. Some of those disclosures have been very public -- on TV and radio and at major conferences. Others have been more personal -- to family, friends and lovers. Even though most people have been supportive, it is the personal disclosures that have been the most stressful because of the fear of being rejected by those I care about most.
Since my diagnosis, I have seen dramatic changes. HIV used to be a death sentence; however, with appropriate treatment, people diagnosed with HIV today can live a nearly normal lifespan. And we've learned a lot about how to significantly reduce the risk of transmitting the virus. So that should make telling people that we have HIV a whole lot easier, right? Sadly, as too many people know, the stigma and discrimination surrounding HIV are still going strong. For many women and men, whether or not to disclose our HIV status remains one of the most difficult and daunting decisions. But most of us disclose anyways because there can be huge benefits: We can be supported, we can free ourselves of the burden of a secret, we can get the healthcare we need, we can talk with our sex partners about preventing transmission and we can educate ourselves and others.
Gordon, aged 60, and Jim, 55, a couple from rural southwestern Ontario have been together for more than 20 years. Both men are Native community workers who, like me, have been living with HIV for nearly two decades.
Gordon recalls that day, back in the early '90s, when he received a phone call at work asking him to come in to receive the results of a series of medical tests he had recently undergone. He was told to bring someone with him. Because he knew few people in his new hometown of London, Ontario, and his boss was someone he felt he could trust, Gordon asked his boss to accompany him. That afternoon, Gordon learned he was positive.
While absorbing the news in the week that followed, he told nobody. The one person he intended to tell was his partner of one year, Jim, who at the time was living in another city. But for the moment, the only other person who knew was his boss. (In almost all cases, an employer does not need to know this information. See "A Hard Day's Work" in the Winter 2012 issue of The Positive Side for more about disclosure at work.)
Days later, when the boss asked Gordon to work on the weekend, Gordon declined because he was already scheduled to work at his second job. The boss then proceeded to share Gordon's secret with Jim, who he had met when Jim was in town and dropped Gordon off at work, and others. "Out of spite, he used the information against me," Gordon says. "After my boss found out I had HIV, everything around me started to fall down like dominoes. One day I heard my co-workers talking about someone having AIDS and I realized, 'Wow, they're talking about me.'" Gordon left his job shortly thereafter, feeling deeply betrayed by someone he had respected and trusted.
Gordon's experience highlights two of the possible risks of disclosure: stigma and the chance that people will not respect your privacy. According to a 2013 report published by the Ontario HIV Treatment Network, other reasons that stop some people from disclosing their HIV status include feeling that they lack a strong social network, feeling ashamed and guilty about their status, homophobia and being concerned about burdening others. Nevertheless, research also suggests that in most situations, the significant benefits outweigh the risks and that most people feel little or no regret after disclosing.
Following this fiasco, Gordon eventually decided that if people were going to be part of his family and journey, he was going to tell them. His mom was immediately supportive but his dad took longer -- at first bleaching everything Gordon touched. With the help of Gordon's mom, his father eventually came around, as did many of his 27 siblings and half-siblings.
Like Gordon's father and many of his siblings, people's reactions often evolve. It's worth remembering that upon hearing the news, some people might at first be shocked -- even fearful, critical or angry -- and need some time to digest it. Chances are that their initial reaction won't be their last. For Jim, who also tested positive, gaining the support of his family took time.
Shortly after he received the call from Gordon's boss in London telling him that Gordon was HIV positive, Jim got his own positive test result. He was devastated. He now faced the task of a double disclosure: telling his family that he was HIV positive and that he was gay. Although Jim feared he would be abandoned and ostracized, he gathered his parents, brother and sister together. Feeling defensive and fully expecting a homophobic, judgmental response from them, he braced himself and blurted out: "I'm gay and I have HIV. Deal with it." But he ultimately found support from his family, first from his brother, who was quick to squash gay and AIDS jokes at his factory workplace in defence of his brother, and later from his mom.
For the most part, if, when, where and how we disclose our status are personal choices. There is no one-size-fits-all roadmap to guide us. Instead, we need to judge each situation: Is this a person I want to disclose to? Will he or she keep what I tell them confidential? Or is this someone I can't really trust to have my best interests at heart? Research shows that in situations where we choose to tell, the more carefully we plan and prepare beforehand (see "Who, What, When, Where, How and Why?," below), the more likely we are to have a positive outcome.
When it came to disclosing to his two sons, Jim was more careful. His sons, from a previous marriage, didn't learn that their dad was gay or HIV positive until later. "First they got to know Gordon as my friend," Jim says. Then the two men introduced the kids to other HIV-positive couples, including same-sex couples raising children. When the boys were 11 and 13 years old, Jim and Gordon took them to a retreat for families living with HIV. "We decided to tell them at the camp, where we could all get support and the boys could talk and share with peers in the same situation." The boys' response was typical for kids their age. One of them asked, "You aren't going to die, are you?" to which Jim responded, "Not if I have anything to do with it." Twenty years later, HIV is a non-issue with their now-adult kids.
When it comes to dating, everyone is different. Some people tell right away. Others wait to see if the relationship looks promising. Personally, I prefer to tell sooner rather than later for two reasons. First, my HIV status is widely known and a quick Google search would disclose on my behalf. Secondly, I want to protect myself. Even though I am generally very public about my status, it remains difficult to disclose in intimate situations. Putting it off can offer a reprieve, but it can also increase my anxiety and make it more difficult for the other person to accept.

On their difficult task of finding their new home, they struggled with everything that they had or needed to get. Even though the clans were rivals, on the journey they kind of united into one clan. They soon were lead to the Tribe of Rushing Water and they were well fed and were able to rest. The clans realized that the Tribe was not their home ,so they went on. Finally they found their place by a lake.
I really enjoyed reading this story because it taught me about the wild and how tough it can be. The clans did not have much food, yet they were strong for the sake of their families.
My favorite character was Firestar, even though he was not a main character in the book. He was the leader of a clan who had to prove himself by living up to high expectations. I admire his devotion and courage.
I would recommend this story mainly to people who like cats, but after you read of couple of books in the series, you might change your mind about them. Another reason I liked this story is because it was filled with weird twists and turns. If you like mysteries, this book is for you.

A film shot and edited in just six months with a budget of $100,000 has been selected to appear at the New Zealand International Film Festival.
How to Meet Girls From a Distance, the winning entrant of the Make My Movie competition - a partnership between the NZ Film Commission, NZ On Air and nzherald.co.nz - will screen in at least six cities as part of the film festival circuit, which begins in July.
The film, described as a "peeping Tom rom-com" and created by first-time director Dean Hewison and a team including Richard Falkner and Sam Dickson, will also feature as part of Melbourne Film Festival's Breakthrough Screenings to buyers and agents in August.
New Zealand festival director Bill Gosden confirmed the film would screen twice in Wellington and once in Auckland as part of a selection of 14 New Zealand films, and would also feature in the Christchurch, Dunedin, Palmerston North and Hamilton festivals.
Written, shot and edited in just six months on a budget of just $100,000, How to Meet Girls From a Distance won an online competition that asked would-be filmmakers to pitch an idea with just a poster and a tagline.
Winning with the tagline "Get to know her, then meet her," Hewison told nzherald.co.nz he was looking forward to seeing the finished product in a cinema for the first time.
"It's all been incredibly fast. We only started writing it on January 12, we've written six drafts, shot it, and done six or seven versions of the edit in that time. It's been incredibly intense."
Hewison said the film, about a stalker, hadn't changed much from their original idea.
"We initially thought we'd be pushing boundaries of taste and decency, but over the course of writing it we wanted to make sure our lead character was likeable.
"We almost went too far and made him too likeable."
Gosden believed it would stand out at the festival because it was a genuinely funny film.
"I think it will stand out because it's a popular comedy, it has a real advantage in that respect. Everyone says it's surprisingly good, I think they proved what they set out to prove, really."
Plans for the film to go on general release are being made for after the film festival, as well as for the next round of the Make My Movie competition.

Torben Röse
Torben Röse is a graphic artist and zinester from Germany.
His first publication was the science fiction fanzine Janx, released in 1987. Until 1995 he published his comic related drawings, who became more abstract moving in the direction of fine arts, in a series of strange zines introducing the character Borsig, a.k.a. Borsig der Sperrbrecher. After that period Röse vanished in France, solving spiritual questions in a Buddhist related context.
Before that he used the name Marvin as a pseudonym for his comics and cartoons which he published in various German zines such as Si-Kartuun. A compilation of the abstract series related to the character Borsig was published using the name Torben M. D. W. Röse.
In 2011, Torben Röse and Patrick Rieve published the zine Ace of Space, which included Röse's drawings. It was released on the occasion of the exhibition with the same title at the BeSt-Kunstraum in Essen, Germany in 2011.
Published in Cologne, Germany in 2013, Borsigland is his most recent zine.

"Olympus Has Fallen" — the first and more successful of the two movies about terrorists taking over the White House — is noisy, chaotic and ultimately silly. Having seen "White House Down" since, it's hard to remember or care who is who amid all the explosions in the two films.
In this one, our good guy is played by Gerald Butler, a veteran Secret Service agent named Mike Banning, and friend of the President (Aaron Eckhart). After a screw-up, which of course wasn't really his fault, Mike has been dropped from the starting team. But it just so happens that he's in the area when 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue comes under attack by a North Korean terrorist (Rick Yune) and his gang of well-armed thugs.
As the chief executive and his secretary of defense (Melissa Leo) are held hostage in a bunker beneath the White House, Banning somehow infiltrates the place and tries to find a way to free the prisoners and save the president's son who has gone undetected by the bad guys. Meanwhile, away from the battle, Angela Bassett, Morgan Freeman and Robert Forster play government officials who huff and puff and explore nuclear options.
If you don't mind dumb, pseudo-patriotic movies with pounding action, "Olympus Has Fallen" — directed by Antoine Fuqua — will do.
While not resembling him physically, Tommy Lee Jones very much seems to epitomize the iconic Gen. Douglas MacArthur in "Emperor," British director Peter Webber's slightly fictionalized story of the American military officer's rule in Japan just after World War II.
MacArthur's mission was to help turn the conquered country, which had been ruled by the emperor and group of generals, into a democracy while deciding who should be punished for war crimes. Much of the tale is told through MacArthur's right-hand man, Gen. Bonner Fellers (Matthew Fox of "Lost"). Fellers is charged with determining whether Emperor Hirohito, who was regarded as a god by his people, should be prosecuted for approving the bombing of Pearl Harbor, or if he had been pressured by the military. If convicted and executed, his death could trigger insurrection, creating unrest in the region.
All of that might be interesting enough, but British director Peter Webber weaves what is likely a fictional love story between Fellers and a Japanese woman. Perhaps that was because historically, we know what happens. Nevertheless, it's a fascinating little-told part of history, and Jones' performance as MacArthur — who was also eying the presidency at the time — really resonates in "Emperor."
Filmmaker Luc Besson draws from the Jacques Tardi comic book series to create "The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec," a tale of an Indiana Jones-style adventuress in the early 1900s. It's a lightweight movie, often over the top, but mostly fun.
If you're looking for more interesting women, four TV box-sets offer very different female perspectives.
ABC's "Once Upon A Time: The Complete Second Season," HBO's "Girls: The Complete Second Season," HBO's "Enlightened: The Complete Second Season" and Fox's "The Mindy Project: Season One" probably couldn't be more different, but each of the series is interesting and entertaining in its own way.

The Last of Us Left Behind Breaking Hearts on Valentine's Day
Naughty Dog's The Last of Us was one of the most memorable games of the past year, and we've all been waiting patiently for the single piece of story-based DLC to arrive. While the developer has been teasing and hyping up Left Behind for a month or so, Naughty Dog still hasn't mentioned when the content would arrived. Thankfully, someone at the Sony online store took all the guesswork out of the equation.
According to the listing on the Sony Entertainment Network, The Last of Us' Left Behind DLC will arrive on Feb. 14. Typically, new content arrives on the PlayStation Store every Tuesday, but there have been times in the past when the store was updated on other days in special cases. Considering how anticipated this bit of DLC is, it wouldn't surprise us in the least to learn this Friday date was true. Now, neither Sony nor Naughty Dog has confirmed this date as legit thus far, but that it's on the Sony store bodes well for its accuracy.
Left Behind will tell the tale of Ellie and her friend Riley in a time before Joel came into the picture. The comic mini-series The Last of Us: American Dreams focused on the relationship between these two young ladies, and provided an interesting bit of backstory for Ellie. Seeing this relationship explored more in game form should be equally as engaging, and we're eager to return to the world of The Last of Us to spend some more time with one of our favorite characters.

To unsubscribe, send a message to email@example.com with "unsubscribe asa" (no quotes) as the body of the message. Received on Wed Mar 18 13:56:34 2009Without trying to take any particular position (this time), here are some developmental markers and various views on this subject that might be of interest.
A "person" begins at...
- Conception: most commonly held popular view; conservative Christian view.
- Uterine Implantation: Normal reproductive milestone; in its absence no baby results.
- 14 days after fertilization: each embryo can produce only one individual - resolves the twin issue - threshold for biomedical community in UK
- 18 days: (first EKG indication of anything related to heart activity); first semblance of blood; actual blood cells about week 20-21 (relevant to the OT blood-centered concept of concept of life)
- 28 days, neural tube is forming, the ultimate home of the spinal cord and brain
- 40 days: (first EEG sign of anything related to brain activity – brain/nervous system not complete until month 7 or 8)
- 25 weeks – human specific electroencephalogram acquired (counterpart of commonly accepted definition of brain-death)Some Biblical perspectives
After conception -
- Before conception - shared by Eastern perspectives - Jer1:4 ("...before I formed you in the womb I knew you, ...")
- Torah states that if in the course of an altercation with a third party, a person causes a woman so that she has a miscarriage, but she lives, then the man who injured her shall be fined whatever amount the woman's husband shall demand, and as the judges approve. But if any harm comes to the woman and she dies, he shall be executed. Ex 21:22-23 TLB [fined vs executed?]
Finally, some Jewish perspectives found (not universal, I'm sure)
- Torah (Genesis 2:7) states that life begins at first breath, but babies are not valued in census until they are a month old (Numbers 3:40; Leviticus 27:6).
- While abortion of fetuses is a grave offense, it is difficult to justify prohibiting the use of life-saving tissue from aborted fetuses for fear of encouraging or condoning abortion. Otherwise there may ensue avoidable death of additional human beings.
- No moral status to an embryo before forty days of gestation. Furthermore, uterine implantation of an embryo… is required to create moral status.
And finally a question from me, how should we regard a fetus derived from a terminated ectopic pregnancy? What is the best future for its potentialities?
- In light of Judaism's moral and religious mandate to save human life and alleviate human suffering, supporting the proposed [embryonic stem cell research enabling] legislation can be considered not only praiseworthy, but even a Jewish moral and religious duty."

George Murphy wrote:Sure, if you assume that whatever is necessary for the fullness of human nature is formed at conception then rational capacities are formed, & by virtue of our assumption of the necessity of the brain for rational thought, the brain begins to form then. A perfect example of circular reasoning.----- Original Message -----From: SchwarzwaldTo: email@example.com: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 9:19 AMSubject: Re: [asa] scientific fact vs. ideology?Heya George,
Alright - then when does the brain 'begin to form'? Because by my sights, that marker happens to be conception. That's precisely where it 'begins to form' as nature (whether conceived the old fashioned way, or by similar-enough scientific meddling) takes its course. Later on it's simply further along the process of formation.
I have to wonder.. if it's not 'a person' - presumably not a child either, since children are persons - what is it? Would someone be justified in calling it a parasite? Nothing more than a blob of cells? A growth, malignant or benign, depending on one's subjective view?
And heya Preston,
Again, 'supernatural' or 'immaterial' does not go away just because there's a dependence on the physical. Aquinas and many others, in past and present, did not believe this. Likely even Descartes didn't believe this. Lewis was not reacting to the idea that human thought and mind may have some (very important) basis in the physical. It was the idea that minds are nothing but the material (particularly, I think, the classical material/'mechanist' view of material), unguided and unintended in any ultimate sense, that he reacted most strongly against. As for computers, the basic concept isn't all that different from Leibniz's mill - and, as impressive as computers are even nowadays, making them the 'basis for reason' in an exclusive sense is fraught with problems. And very often the examples sound compelling because unspoken commitments to the immaterial are snuck in through the back door. (John Searle's particularly known for highlighting this, but others do so as well.) I think Lewis could have easily accepted the idea that the mind has very important and necessary physical bases, but is more than the physical. Then again, probably the only ones who couldn't would be the thoroughgoing physicalists.
And no, I don't think Lewis had any problem with modern science. Probably modern philosophy that often championed (and in the process, heavily abused) science. Particularly since Lewis was around at the height of some considerable abuses of science in the service of aggressive philosophy.

Moreover, the idea that dualists of all varieties (or even most) don't see the brain as necessary for many/most mental operations doesn't ring true. Hylemorphic dualists would emphatically disagree. As would, I believe, very many dualists of cartesian, property, emergentist, and other varieties. A functioning brain could be a necessary but not sufficient requirement for thought, and 'the classical physical can do it all!' position is fraught with problems, some of which make the "but what about alcohol?" objection pale in comparison.

It may depend on your definition of "think." Can computers "think?" They do make decisions. They can even "appear" to be sentient. It may be possible to have a conversation with a computer (over the internet) and not even realize it is not a real person.
There's a flip side to this. Read Dilbert today. Dilbert bemoans the fact that his boss keeps failing the Turing test. When our reason goes bad, do we cease to be human? Is God taking a coffee break? :)
Does Moorad think (by whatever mechanism) that the function of the brain is not necessary for reason? Then why do we get more and more confused as the alcohol concentration in the brain increases? I love C.S. Lewis, but I think he just didn't know enough science on the point.

- Belgian Grand Prix
Schumacher struggles without sixth gear
- Race:
- Belgian Grand Prix
- Drivers:
- Michael Schumacher
- Teams:
- Mercedes
Michael Schumacher lost sixth gear seven laps from the end of the Belgian Grand Prix, which he believes prevented him from attacking the cars ahead.
Schumacher was running as high as third at one stage but had to make a second pit stop when his tyres started to fade and he lost positions. He said he made his second stop in the hope of attacking the likes of Felipe Massa and Mark Webber towards the end of the race, but a gearbox problem stopped him from doing so.
"Fighting in the early laps with Ricciardo and some of the other guys I needed to push my tyres and that was probably the deciding factor why we had to come in again. We could have finished on that set, but I'm pretty sure I would have ended up in the same position. I think it was a good decision to come in and change tyres and then fight again in the last laps for more positions. But I had to stop thinking about that seven laps from the end because I lost sixth gear and then it was just luck to actually finish the race."
Nevertheless, Schumacher said he enjoyed his 300th grand prix.
"I did. It's obviously beautiful to fight for the top-end positions and a little bit sad not to take one home. Nevertheless, it was a joyful and exciting grand prix from that point of view."

Public transit keeps eye on homeless
It's a familiar scene in every major city over the holidays, particularly when the temperatures drop — homeless men and women seeking some respite from the cold in public transit hubs.
Transit agencies have policies in place to walk the fine line between working as a social service and policing the homeless population.
Story Continued Below
For the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, that task falls on the Metro Transit Police Department. Ronald Pavlik, deputy chief of the MTPD, said officers keep an eye out for the homeless while on regular patrols. After Thanksgiving, the department gathers updates on local shelter numbers and service hours so it can arm every officer with the latest information.
When temperatures drop to freezing and below, the MTPD enlists the help of the Hypothermia Van, a service funded by D.C. and various non-profit organizations. The van patrols the greater-D.C. area 24 hours a day and provides shelter, transportation and other care. If police call the van and it can't get to someone promptly, Pavlik said, officers will provide transportation to the appropriate care — whether that's a shelter or a hospital.
Since Metro stations shut down at night, Pavlik said his officers focus on finding care for the homeless instead of allowing people to stay overnight, even in extreme weather conditions.
But when Boston faces a blizzard, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority operates a little differently, according to Joseph O'Connor, superintendent-in-chief of the MBTA Transit Police Department.
"In extreme weather, if someone refuses to leave the station, we will allow them to stay in the station overnight if they refuse a shelter," O'Connor said.
MBTA subway stations normally close at 1 a.m. When extreme weather hits, the station of choice to remain open is often Boston's South Station, O'Connor said. South Station is large and has restrooms, food, tables, chairs and, of course, heat.
But he said MBTA police always focus first on finding care, working with a number of shelters in the greater-Boston area and recruiting the help of the public through the authority's See Say smartphone app. The app was designed so that MBTA riders can report suspicious activity, but O'Connor said the public can also use the app to report anyone who looks like they might need help.

On Thursday, I met with 17 inspiring women from Australia, Brazil, China, Colombia, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Jamaica, Kenya, Macedonia, Nigeria, the Philippines, Russia, Rwanda, Tajikistan, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Individually, they're up-and-comers in the world of sports -- as athletes, coaches, reporters, and managers. Together, they're the inaugural class of the U.S. Department of State and espnW Global Sports Mentoring Program. The group arrived at the State Department this morning for an orientation to kick off their month-long mentorships with leading American women in sports-related fields.
For the next four weeks, these emerging leaders will work alongside their American mentors from ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut, to Procter and Gamble in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Saatchi and Saatchi in Los Angeles, California. Together, they'll craft action plans to give more women and girls worldwide the opportunity to participate in sports.
The Global Sports Mentoring Program builds on the growing evidence that girls who play sports are more likely to go to school, more likely to increase their earning power, and more likely to increase their participation and contribution to society.
As Secretary Clinton has said, "We believe in the power of sports."
In a year when Americans celebrated the 40th anniversary of Title IX and the world celebrated the successes of women at the 30th Summer Olympiad in London, these emerging leaders and their American mentors are taking the next step to ensure that through sports, women and girls can do anything.
Stay tuned for Twitter updates @AnnatState!
