To wait until now to put up a performance like this. makes me a little angry
Let's keep everything in perspective, the Bungals have some key injuries. But if we begin to Draft as though we do not have our heads up our arses and cultivate a "leave no doubt" philosophy on both sides of the ball. We can not only get back to playing Steeler Ball, but perhaps become dominant as a whole.
The "leave no doubt" part is what worries me ... take tonight; we go up big time ... Offense goes conservative and Defense starts giving cushions and playing "prevent your opportunity to win". Just once, I'd like to see the Steelers at least keep the peddle halfway down and throttle an opponent instead of this play not to lose after we're up crap. And no, this is not an indictment of Tomlin, Haley or LeBeau ... it's been the "standard" for many years
I was not too impressed with what I saw, especially in the second half. I think this game was more about Cincy playing poorly for much of the game and not us being dominant. We were fortunate to get a big lead. Even in the 4th, Troy could/should have been called for PI on Green setting the Bungals in FG range with over 2:00 to go.
But a win is a win and the way we've lost some of them this year I guess it is just evening things out.
There was no PI...he was looking back at the ball...it was a good no-call...
Slap, he hit Green's arm before the ball hit his hands.
I'm really surprised there was no flag thrown, the way this season has gone
Bungles didnt help themselves tonight
Kovacevic: Where have these Steelers been?
By Dejan Kovacevic
Published: Monday, Dec. 16, 2013
It would be so convenient to still complain, wouldn't it?
It would be so easy to summarize all that happened on this icy Sunday night at Heinz Field by asking one crushingly obvious question.
Where has this been?
That was Ramon Foster repeating my question back in the immediate aftermath of the Steelers' 30-20 body slam of the first-place Bengals, and he continued: We did want this to happen earlier. We did want to be more consistent. But man you can't do anything about the past. We went out and played this game to the best of our ability.
Fair enough, if you ask me.
Really, what would be the point of slamming the forehead off the wall for yet another Sunday?
This was the Steelers at their best, as Foster stated, in pretty much all facets. And rather than bemoan that it took until Week 15, or that they could have done this at any point between Latrobe and London, I'll choose to savor what was there.
Yeah, I could poke fun at Cincinnati for blowing a chance to move into the AFC's No. 2 seed by, you know, being the Bengals.
I'll instead applaud Mike Tomlin, his staff and the team leaders for gearing up for a game that meant next to nothing. All anyone needed to see to know that the Steelers meant business was Ben Roethlisberger's rousing run through his offensive mates for pregame introductions. It's as wound up as I've observed him in that setting.
Yeah, I've been saying for a bunch of weeks now there's going to be no quit, from me or from anybody, Roethlisberger answered my question on that count after backing up his energy with a 20-of-25, 191-yard, one-touchdown, first-pick-in-five-games effort. I thought tonight was a good example of that. We fought from start to finish. I'm proud of that.
I could rib LaMarr Woodley for his latest in a litany of soft-tissue injuries, this a recurrence of his nagging calf that sent him to the familiar sideline early.
I'll instead cite Ike Taylor for playing through the visible pain of a nagging a rib injury can't count how many times he was grabbing for air after a play and all he did was get the best of A.J. Green yet again. He wasn't alone. Marcus Gilbert sprained his ankle, and Kelvin Beachum turned a knee, both immediately returning to the offensive line.
I'm OK, I'm OK, Taylor insisted. That's a good receiver. I just wanted to do my job.
I could express worry that Jarvis Jones did so little in Woodley's absence to look like a first-rounder, much less that special talent the Steelers still await.
I'll instead remind of second-rounder Le'Veon Bell brutally leveling Cincinnati end Michael Johnson with a stiff arm that paved a 6-yard run.
Who wouldn't have liked that one?
Yeah, it's a good feeling for a running back, Bell finally fessed up after dodging two other questions on the topic. You want to do things like that to give your team a boost.
I could point to the Bengals' horrific early punting, with Kevin Huber muffing his first for a near safety and Antonio Brown high-stepping the next one 67 yards for a score.
I'll instead wonder aloud if Brown isn't the Steelers' most singularly explosive offensive player since who? Prime-time Hines Ward? Early Antwaan Randle El?
Good luck with that.
All that matters is to me is that we got it done, Brown said. We got it done in all three phases, too.
I could pile on the beleaguered defense, which now after the Steelers have topped 26 points in six consecutive weeks is more exposed than ever as the primary culprit for this 6-8 record. I could even strip away some credit for shutting down Cincinnati by noting that the Bengals insanely neglected to go deep against a defense badly susceptible to big plays.
I'll instead say good job, even with a late fade.
Maybe to the outside world, it looked like we had nothing to compete for, Ryan Clark said. We did. We showed that. We wanted to win.
And I could, of course, stray from football and talk about all that yellow that was showing in the seats, where 45,873 showed up in a 65,500-seat stadium. It was the smallest Steeler crowd in Heinz Field's history, and it's sure to be a buzz topic if I know my city. We love to agonize over not showing up after we don't show up.
I'll instead point to the frigid weather, the 14 weeks that preceded this and, above all, that it was the Steelers who let their fans down this winter, not the other way around.
Next year, try unwrapping some of this a lot sooner than Christmastime.

I think it's safe to say that you don't appreciate what is sometimes referred to as a "spoof", or a "parody".Think of all those loyal employees as you jet off, while you down that bourban, smoke that fine cigar, and miss those easy putts. But, don't think about it long enough to be a buzz kill. Just remind yourself, it's all about...deductions.
Everything wrong with corporate America. Spend & waste needlessly for your own pleasure while employees bonuses & pay raises disappear. As in, poof, gone.
You sound just like the fools on Capitol Hill who have allowed this nation to rot. A bunch of clique loving, greedy snobs really, really living the highlife. Only difference is...you guys are having wet dreams. Sleep tight tonight, you jet out early.
A gentle satirical imitation; a light parody.
Think of the movies "Airplane", "Blazing Saddles", "Austin Powers" and "Naked Gun". "Gomer Pyle USMC" was also great.
It's a way of using humor to disagree agreeably. It allows adults to relieve the stresses and frustrations of life by engaging in what is otherwise inappropriate sarcasm. It does require a substantial base of knowledge of the subject to appreciate the subtleties and nuances,( where the best humor is found).
Consider yourself invited to the 2013 Brasstown Valley Economic Summit, where Synergy is providing the G-550, which Jeb will learn to fly, and maybe we'll convince Synergy to admit I was right all along,(hey, hope springs eternal).

"Their kitchen is their shrine, the cook their priest, the table their altar, and their belly their god"
Charles Buck
"And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. (Revelations 8:3)"
"I feel sure that no girl would go to the altar if she knew all."
Queen Victoria
"ALTAR, n. The place whereupon the priest formerly raveled out the small intestine of the sacrificial victim for purposes of divination and cooked its flesh for the gods. The word is now seldom used, except with reference to the sacrifice of their liberty and peace by a male and a female tool.They stood before the altar and supplied The fire themselves in which their fat was fried. In vain the sacrifice! --no god will claim An offering burnt with an unholy flame. --M.P. Nopput"
Ambrose Bierce
"Character is always lost when a high ideal is sacrificed on the altars of conformity and popularity."
William Arthur Ward
"Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? / Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon."
"The altar cloth of one aeon is the doormat of the next"
Mark Twain
"Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; / Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift."
"Not until he stood at the altar did he achieve a sense of being hale and furnished. It was strange, he thought, that a man would find his surest current in the spot where he felt least worthy."
Charles Turner

An album title and artwork are currently escaping frontman Julian Casablancas, but the yet-to-be-titled album isn't due out in stores until January, so he has some time to figure it out. A huge worldwide tour is in the works following the release as well. Casablancas told RS that band was a little road-weary going into the Room On Fire tour, but he says, "Now I think we're ready for fatal touring again -- to go all out. We got our energy back." Stay tuned for more Strokes news. I'm sure they'll be playing some cool warm up shows around NYC in the coming months. Also, keep an ear peeled for a the first single to drop sometime this fall. We'll keep ya posted.

Giddyup Probies: Getting on the Gear
If you don't have bunker gear you don't have anything. That's why, as a probie, being issued a set of bunker gear was the first step in equipping me with the tools that probies want and firefighters need. Before you can learn to handle a hose, force a door, or carry a victim, you have to be able to put on ... -
Diving into the Fire: The Life of a Smokejumper
SMOKEJUMPERS Skydiving into a hot zone is sometimes the only way to access a remote area and fight a fire. It's a dangerous job but someone has to do it before the fire spreads any further. The people who do this are called smokejumpers. Equipped with a parachute and firefighting gear, they go in and try to control the fire until ... -
Firefighters: "Do the Right Thing"
Every new recruit looks forward to their first day of training with eager anticipation. I know that for me, there were hundreds of images flying through my head. Big trucks, flashing lights, sharp axes - this was going to be way too cool for words. All the other recruits in my class were equally pumped-up, and when we sat down in ... -
Firefighter Origins
My brother is a firefighter. I used to say that a lot. Somebody would ask about my family at a social gathering, and I'd go down the list: my dad's in the travel industry, my youngest siblings are still in high school, and my brother is a firefighter. No big deal, everybody does SOMETHING with their lives, but to me my ... -
Firefighter's Words: Haunting Memories
Last night, I stayed up until 4 AM and then tonight as I started to log off at 4:32 AM I thought I could tell you what I remember although I can not tell you what year it was or where exactly on the street. But, it was my first memory of fire and has haunted me for all these years. ... -
Firefighter's Words: I Wish You Could Know
I wish you could know what it is like to search a burning bedroom for trapped children at 3 AM, flames rolling above your head, your palms and knees burning as you crawl, the floor sagging under your weight as the kitchen below you burns. I wish you could comprehend a wife's horror at 6 in the morning as I check ... -
Q&A Feature: Can I Still Be a Firefighter If I Have a Criminal Record?
Background investigations are an important component of the hiring process. They are completed by most fire departments across the country. Historically, fire departments have not placed as much emphasis on a thorough background check as their counterparts on the police department. A criminal check with the local police agency and a DMV check was the extent of what we used to ... -

Firefighter's Words
Here is to the past. I toast to you who are gone. Everything has changed since you left. Would you be proud of me today or ashamed? I wonder.

Firefighter's Words
I mostly fight structure fires. I am a interior and exterior firefighting female. LOL. I gear up, and go in every chance I can get. A lot of people think we are crazy or nuts.

Firefighter's Words
My story I have is about my husband, Ted. He's a FF/Medic in St. Louis county. Clayton, MO to be exact. July 21, 2008 was the worst day of his life. At 530 a.m. he had a call for a shooting in the community that was adjacent to where he works. A man parked his truck across the street from his ... -
Soldiers in the Fire Service
Many Soldiers have had fulfilling second careers in the fire service. Whereas other industries might not be as interested in these warriors, the fire service welcomes them with open arms. They already understand the chain-of-command, know how to work together as a team, and are generally mature beyond their years. Being entrusted with multi-million dollar equipment, going in harm's way, and ... -
Firefighter's Words
The following message was found posted Anonymously on the net… Anonymous something to think about Tue Aug 12, 2008 I helped carry Jim Ramage to the helicopter that would take him on his last flight. His remains were draped in an American flag. Firefighters hovered over the remains of four that day and I had been ensuring that Jim was taken ... -
Firefighter's Words
"I can only hope that someone will remember me in the same way...." It's amazing that after 20 plus years in the fire service I can still think and function on a daily basis. My mind has chosen to fill itself with the most horrific things that I have seen over the years, yet I can't remember what I got for ... -

History of the Fire Service
The history of organized firefighting dates back at least to Ancient Egypt, where hand-operated pumps may have been employed to extinguish fires. The first Roman fire brigade was a group of slaves who were hired by an aedile Marcus Egnatius Rufus. Augustus took this idea from Rufus and then built on it to form the (Vigiles) in AD 6 to combat ... -

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
In modern business, "customer is king" is a well-accepted principle. As a result, capturing the "Voice of the Customer" (VoC) to inform product and service offerings has become a mandate for most companies. Forrester Research confirms that within the past few years more than half (55%) of firms had established a VoC program, while another 25% were planning to establish one in the next 12 months.
In simple terms, VoC is the market research process of capturing a customer's expectations, preferences and aversions to define customer wants and needs, and then acting on those insights with new products, features and specifications. However, the same Forrester report also found that only 39% of VoC programs were actually delivering financial results.
Why the disconnect? Shouldn't the customer's "voice" tell us exactly what we need to improve our products and services? Maybe not.
Maybe the customer is not always right: It is notably difficult to understand behaviors and preferences of customers, i.e. human beings, by asking them. New Coke is unfortunately one of many examples. Also, market environments are rapidly changing, while the development of surveys, collection of quantitative and qualitative customer inputs, and analysis require ample time and money.
Maybe the customer has only half the story: Until recently, once a product left the factory and entered the longest period of its lifecycle – its "use phase" – the manufacturer lost sight of it. However, products have evolved from purely physical components to complex systems combining processors, sensors, and software that are now connected to the Internet of Things. And now, they have a way to communicate with the manufacturer – they have a voice.
While most companies work to optimize their VoC programs with customer relationship management (CRM) tools, it will not be sufficient. What is required is a fundamental transformation, from talking to the customer about your product, to talking to your product about the customer. The winners in this smart, connected world will be those who understand how to unleash the Voice of the Product (VoP) – to capture, analyze and capitalize on what the product is saying.
Smart, connected products in the Internet of Things enable these opportunities for manufacturers and their customers. New business applications monitor the product condition, operation and environment in real-time to identify product defects, usage patterns, and service opportunities.
This shift from talking to the customer about your products, to talking to your products about the customer will require new skills, infrastructure, and cultural norms. Organizations will need a Voice of the Product (VoP) program and product relationship management (PRM) tools to proactively manage their products. For manufacturers that transform to capture this opportunity, the results will be improved customer experience, customer intimacy and financial performance.

Allentown School Board approved a curtailment of programs Thursday that eliminates 132 teachers and 12 administrators, pushing the financially challenged district to more than 400 jobs slashed over the past four years.
The district's second massive curtailment in three years cuts 61 elementary, 27.5 middle school and 43.5 high school teachers along with a combination of assistant principals, instructional supervisors and central administrators.
Under state law, school districts cannot eliminate teaching positions for economic reasons but they often circumvent that by saying it's for a curtailment or alteration of programs.
Ten maintenance/custodial jobs will also be eliminated if the district formally approves its 2013-14 budget next month, bringing the cuts to 154 this year and 404 since the end of the 2009-10 school year.
After approving the curtailment, the board adopted a proposed final budget that raises taxes 8.5 percent and taps about $9 million in savings in order to balance the budget. The tax hike means the average property owner would pay about $150 more than last year, according to district projections.
"This has been a tough budget season," board President Bob Smith said. "I know there's many tough issues and we're all going through tough times."
The school board must approve its final budget by June 30 and directors are hoping for a last-minute increase in state subsidy, like the additional $4 million Allentown received last June.

The U.S. Census Bureau uses a set of money income thresholds that vary by family size and composition to determine who is in poverty. If a family's total income is less than the family's threshold, then that family and every individual in it is considered in poverty. The official poverty thresholds do not vary geographically, but they are updated for inflation using Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). The official poverty definition uses money income before taxes and does not include capital gains or noncash benefits (such as public housing, Medicaid and food stamps).

Twitter and the death of Baroness Thatcher
- 9 April 2013
- From the section Technology
For once, this was not a news story that broke first on Twitter.
For the last few years, the social network has alerted me and many others to all kinds of breaking news, but it was a traditional news source, the Press Association which flashed this line at 12.47 pm:
"Baroness Thatcher died this morning following a stroke, her spokesman Lord Bell said."
The first tweets I can find were at 12:48 BST, within seconds of that PA flash - among them my BBC colleagues Stuart Hughes (@stuartdhughes) and James Pearce (@pearcesport) Strangely, the Press Association's own Twitter feed (@pressassoc) did not pass on the news until 12:50 BST.
But from then on, Twitter was consumed by the news, and was the place many came to offer tributes - or to fight over the Thatcher legacy.
Among the first tribute tweets I spotted was this from a Conservative MP Therese Coffey at 12:55 BST: "RIP Margaret Thatcher. You transformed our country for the better, putting Great back in Great Britain, & helped open the Iron Curtain."
Lord Sugar - who was a Labour minister under Gordon Brown - explained how the Iron Lady had transformed the business world:
Many more followed, from presidents and prime ministers past and present, and all manner of celebrities.
Even five years ago politicians and other well known people might have issued statements or rung broadcasters. Now it seems that they see Twitter as the fastest and most effective medium to share their thoughts with the world.
But as supporters tried to sum up the Thatcher legacy in 140 characters, a number of less enthusiastic voices were making themselves heard.
Labour tweeters urged party members to be respectful - but the Respect MP George Galloway was in no mood for restraint, tweeting "Tramp the dirt down". There was instant, furious reaction, and this and a number of other shouting matches filled the social network with bile for some hours.
But Twitter was also the place to find more illuminating information - from links to obituaries to data about the UK's economic record under the Thatcher premiership.
While much of Twitter's global audience seemed fascinated by the story, some were left confused. After Harry Styles of One Direction paid his own tribute - "RIP Baroness Thatcher .x", some of his fans wanted to know who he was talking about. "i am sorry :( but who was this person?" asked one.
Mind you, his tweet was retweeted by many more than David Cameron's tribute, so he may have played a role in educating a new generation about recent history.
By late afternoon there had been more than a million mentions of the story, and the hashtag #Thatcher was trending in the UK, the US and worldwide. The company says the volume of tweets rivalled those for the announcement of the new Pope.
So how do we sum up the way Twitter has transformed coverage of a story like this? Ronald Reagan - Margaret Thatcher's political soulmate and a similarly divisive figure - died in 2004 before social media took off. Looking back at the BBC's web coverage on that death, it does include comments from readers, although they have obviously been selected by an editor some days after the event.
Now, anyone can instantly broadcast their views on Baroness Thatcher, reaching a global audience which may be moved or outraged.
So Twitter has not only accelerated the speed at which the world digests a major news story, it has democratised reaction to it. Is that a positive development? You decide - in 140 characters or fewer.

On monday I'll be traveling to Europe, mainly to Finland. I'll be gone for almost four weeks . Hoping to have lots of time with my camera.

(1956- )
Silas was born in 1956 in Hall Beach, the son of two artists, Joanasi and Martha Kayakjuak. Silas learned to carve at an early age by watching other family members carving. He began to carve at the age of eight and produced his first serious carving when he was twelve. Natural talent, a keen eye for balance and movement in the human figure, experience of hunting and living on the land combine to give Silas's work an appealing warmth and charm.
His work reflects a keen interest in the human figure: "… I carve people in movement and everyday life. My father used to carve animals, and he used to say that all his life, he'd looked at people's faces and, after all those years, he'd never learned to carve the face. I challenged him and started carving people in movement, balanced and [pursuing] their lifestyle."*
Silas moved to Ottawa in the late 1980s and has been carving full-time since. Silas's work is in collections all over the world and has been purchased for presentation to foreign dignitaries, music conductors, and art lovers alike from all walks of life. In 1999, Silas' stone carving was featured part of the exhibition called Northern Rock, Contemporary Inuit Sculpture at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinberg, Ontario.

In a reverse triangular merger, the acquiring company forms a subsidiary that merges with and into the target with the outstanding shares of the target being converted into securities of the acquiring corporation or some other consideration. Does a reverse triangular merger constitute an assignment of a target corporation's contracts? Because the reverse triangular merger is an exceedingly common acquisition technique, one would expect that this question was answered long ago. Surprisingly, however, this isn't the case.
Earlier this year, Vice Chancellor Donald F. Parsons analyzed whether a reverse triangular merger violated an anti-assignment clause that read as follows: "Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties . . .". He concluded:
In sum, Meso could have negotiated for a "change of control provision." They did not. Instead, they negotiated for a term that prohibits "assignments by operation of law or otherwise." Roche has provided a reasonable interpretation of Section 5.08 that is consistent with the general understanding that a reverse triangular merger is not an assignment by operation of law. On the other hand, I find Meso's arguments as to why language that prohibits "assignments by operation of law or otherwise" should be construed to encompass reverse triangular mergers unpersuasive and its related construction of Section 5.08 to be unreasonable.
Meso Scale Diagnostics, LLC v. Roche Diagnostics GmbH, 62 A.3d 62, 88 (Del. Ch. 2013). See I've Been Thinking About Conversion, But I Haven't Decided To Convert.
Here in California, U.S. District Court Judge Samuel Conti recently addressed the issue even more recently as follows:
No California state court has resolved this matter, and the Court is not inclined to guess at possible conclusions. The Court therefore begins from the presumption that a reverse triangular merger, which leaves intact the acquired corporation, does not effect a transfer of rights from the wholly owned subsidiary to its acquirer as a matter of law. What little applicable law there is could be analogized from California cases on stock sales, like Farmland Irrigation Co. v. Dopplmaier, 48 Cal. 2d 208, 223, 308 P.2d 732 (Cal. 1957), which suggested that if a plaintiff had sold all of his stock in a corporation, there could be no contention that the corporation's licenses would be extinguished as a matter of law, since the two contracting parties were still extant and in privity.
Florey Inst. of Neuroscience & Mental Health v. Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 138904 (N.D. Cal. Sept. 26, 2013).
Both jurists confronted, and declined to follow, Judge Marilyn Hall Patel's earlier decision in SQL Solutions v. Oracle Corp., 1991 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 21097 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 18, 1991) with Vice Chancellor Parsons saying: "I decline to adopt the approach outlined in SQL Solutions, however, because doing so would conflict with Delaware's jurisprudence surrounding stock acquisitions, among other things. Under Delaware law, stock purchase transactions, by themselves, do not result in an assignment by operation of law." Judge Conti said "Plaintiff relies solely on SQL Solutions to argue that assignment occurred as a matter of law when an acquired corporation became another corporation's wholly owned subsidiary. That case did not analyze nonassignment clauses and also found that federal copyright law forbid transfer."
Hollywood, Somali Pirates and Homer
Over the weekend, I saw the recently released film, Captain Phillips. The movie tells the story of the takeover of the MV Maersk by Somali pirates. When the Navy uses a Somali speaker to communicate with the pirates, one of the pirates asks "Who's this?". The translator answers "nemo", the Latin word for "no one". The interchange, of course, is an echo of the famous encounter of Odysseus and the Cyclops, Polyphemus in Homer's Odyssey:
Κύκλωψ, εἰρωτᾷς μ᾽ ὄνομα κλυτόν, αὐτὰρ ἐγώ τοι ἐξερέω: σὺ δέ μοι δὸς ξείνιον, ὥς περ ὑπέστης. Οὖτις ἐμοί γ᾽ ὄνομα: Οὖτιν δέ με κικλήσκουσι μήτηρ ἠδὲ πατὴρ ἠδ᾽ ἄλλοι πάντες ἑταῖροι. Cyclops, you are asking my renowned name, nevertheless I will declare: "Give to me the hospitality, you were promising. My name is no one: no one is what my mother, father and all my comrades call me."
Κύκλωψ, εἰρωτᾷς μ᾽ ὄνομα κλυτόν, αὐτὰρ ἐγώ τοι ἐξερέω: σὺ δέ μοι δὸς ξείνιον, ὥς περ ὑπέστης. Οὖτις ἐμοί γ᾽ ὄνομα: Οὖτιν δέ με κικλήσκουσι μήτηρ ἠδὲ πατὴρ ἠδ᾽ ἄλλοι πάντες ἑταῖροι.
Cyclops, you are asking my renowned name, nevertheless I will declare: "Give to me the hospitality, you were promising. My name is no one: no one is what my mother, father and all my comrades call me."
Home, Odyssey Book 9, lines 364 -367 (my translation). Matters went downhill from there for both Polyphemus and the pirates.

George and Shellie Zimmerman, appearing in court. Photo via.
In case you haven't heard, George Zimmerman went berserk Monday, punching his father-in-law in the face and pulling a gun on his estranged wife. Shellie Zimmerman, who is filing for divorce, called 911 screaming, "I'm really, really scared."
Zimmerman is the man acquitted of shooting Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager. When Shellie Zimmerman first began talking to the press about the divorce, she said the highly publicized trial ruined her life. But she also cited Zimmerman's verbal abuse and self-centeredness as reasons she wants to leave the marriage. "I have a selfish husband….George is all about George," she told the press. With this episode of domestic violence, she told authorities, "I don't know what he's capable of."
But we do know what he's capable of. He's capable of killing an unarmed kid and thinking the action is justified. Zimmerman seems like a textbook case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Given his treatment of Martin, his belief that he had to single-handedly defend his neighborhood, and his expectation that he could kill a teen without legal consequences, Zimmerman clearly lacks some basic empathy and thinks the world revolves around him.
Unfortunately, our legal system has reinforced the narcissism. He killed an unarmed minor and walked free out of the courtroom. Many saw him as a heroic man justly defending his neighborhood. The courts wound up justifying his unrealistic expectations and arrogance. Is anyone surprised that he would think that a gun is the right solution to every problem?
Hearing the experiences of his wife, I am struck by three things here. One is how the intimate portrait of Zimmerman as a self-centered husband reinforces the public portrait of a man so obsessed with his own potential victimization that he can't see that in reality he is a murderer. Secondly, I'm struck by the reality that men who promote violence in the public sphere may also use it in the domestic sphere.
Thirdly, I'm struck by this perspective on intersectionality. Most of the talk I hear about intersectionality is from the perspective of women of color, when we talk about what it's like to be targeted by both racism and sexism. In Zimmerman's case, we see what it's like for someone to be the perpetrator of both racism and sexism.
The whole situation reminds me of Gwendolyn Brooks' 1960 poem, "A Bronzeville Mother Loiters in Mississippi. Meanwhile, a Mississippi Mother Burns Bacon." The poem is about the death of Emmett Till and still rings sadly true today, as Brooks explores the intersectionality of race and gender in the Jim Crow South. She writes from the perspective of the wife of one of the murderers of Till and, in brilliant, painful detail, paints a scene of a man who also brings the violence home to his wife and children:
"Suddenly she felt his hands upon her…/The children were whimpering now…./And she, their mother/Could not protect them."
Many have compared the cases of Martin and Till, and I would argue that while they're both about racism, one is about segregation-era lynching, and the other is about contemporary vigilantism, with many significant differences. But one thing they certainly have in common is the continued inability for black people to find any justice when they are murdered by white people. Data shows that juries are far more likely to deem white killings of blacks "justifiable" than when the racial roles are reversed.
In her poem, Brooks also examines the killer's need to "protect" white women from black men's sexual desire. Her words lay bare the reality that this so called "protection" is really about preserving white women as the property of white men and claiming white women's sexuality for themselves to access at will, with or without consent.
"His mouth, wet and red,/So very, very, very red,/Closed over hers./Then a sickness heaved within her. "
In this moment of horror, Brooks imagines a solidarity developing in the perspective of the white woman as she is targeted with the physical and sexual abuse of the husband, making the connection between his targeting of her, and his targeting of Till.
"She did not scream…/But a hatred for him burst into glorious flower…"
I recall, years ago, talking to a Southern woman who had very strong clarity about racism. She explained that she had been a victim of her father's sexual abuse. She said she made a decision to fight racism because she could see that her father's patterns of racism and abuse were connected in a society that is white supremacist and male dominated.
In her initial interviews, before the episode of domestic violence, Shellie Zimmerman was unable to display much solidarity. When asked by an interviewer whether she thought George Zimmerman could have intentionally killed Martin because Martin was black, Shellie Zimmerman said, "That's just not his way."
Isn't it? Zimmerman didn't kill Martin because he was black. He killed Martin because he was afraid of him…because he was black. In the mind of the narcissist it makes a difference. Meanwhile, the machinery of white supremacy attempts to find some objective justification for Zimmerman's fear: Martin shouldn't have been wearing a hoodie, because it made him look suspicious. They keep searching, desperately trying to reconcile the part of themselves that knows there's something terribly wrong with adults shooting unarmed kids for no reason. But there was a reason. Racism. And under the grip of racism, Zimmerman lost touch with reality. This is reality: armed and irrational white people are the danger, not black teenagers, regardless of their clothing.
And now a justified Zimmerman continues to be a danger, not only to black teens, but to his wife, his father-in-law, and who knows who else. He's been released, and is out on the Florida streets again, possibly still armed, and certainly still narcissistic. I just hope some of the women who supported Zimmerman will take a moment to rethink their allegiance. His wife certainly has.

Smithsonian's National Museum of American History reopens after major renovations
As you mount a shallow ramp in the heart of the Smithsonian's newly renovated National Museum of American History (NMAH), your eyes dilate in the dimming light. Turn left and there lies the Star-Spangled Banner, the flag designed with 15 stars and 15 stripes, so close that it seems you could reach out and touch its tattered fly edge. It's tattered because one star and many, many swatches—about eight-feet worth—were cut away and sold for souvenirs before this surviving 30-by-34-foot icon came to the Smithsonian for safekeeping.

A major new installation at the Smithsonian Institution explores the nation's biggest and most important job
On November 15, just a week after the first presidential election of the new millennium, the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History will open an ambitious new exhibition, "The American Presidency." The 7,000-square-foot show will cover all 41 past American Presidents and will be organized thematically, not chronologically. Its sections will include "Presidential Campaigns," "Inaugural Celebrations," "Life at the White House," "Assassinations and Mourning," "The Media and the Presidency," and "Life After the Presidency."
It was discovered in New Jersey in 1858, was made into full-size copies sent as far away as Edinburgh, and had a violent run-in with Boss Tweed in 1871. Now, after fifty years out of view, the ugly brute can be seen in Philadelphia.
During the summer of 1858 almost no one in the United States had even heard of dinosaurs. The term itself was only seventeen years old, having been coined by Sir Richard Owen in 1841 to describe a few scattered bones and teeth found in England some two decades before. Several colossal models had been built on the grounds of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham, England, but even with Owen's expertise they bore little resemblance to the iguanodons and megalosaurs they were supposed to portray.Read more »
A noted historian's very personal tour of the city where so much of the American past took shape—with excursions into institutions famous and obscure, the archives that are the nation's memory, and the haunts of some noble ghosts
The only one of our Presidents who retired to Washington after leaving office was Woodrow Wilson, and for all his celebrated professorial background he certainly did it in style. Ten of his friends chipped in ten thousand dollars each to cover most of the cost of a house of twenty-two rooms on S Street, just off Embassy Row. S Street was quiet and sedate then and it remains so. But once, on Armistice Day 1923, twenty thousand people came to cheer Wilson. They filled the street for five blocks. I have seen the photographs.Read more »
The John Bull Steams Again
In early September of 1831, Isaac Dripps, master mechanic of the nascent Camden and I Amboy Railroad, stood staring at a miscellaneous assortment of bolts, levers, and pipes I that he was expected to assemble into a working locomotive. The engine had been ordered by the New Jersey line from Robert Stephenson of Newcastle, England, then the world's leading locomotive builder, who had shipped it across the Atlantic in parts, accompanied by nothing much in the way of instructions.Read more »

The Ordeal of Robert Hutchings Goddard
In 1901, just after Christmas, in Worcester, Massachusetts, a sickly nineteen-year-old high school student named Robert Hutchings Goddard sat down to compose an essay on an enterprise of surpassing technological challenge. He was no stranger to enterprise. He had already tried to fly an aluminum-foil balloon filled with hydrogen gas and attempted to build a perpetual-motion machine. Samuel P.Read more »
One hundred years ago, Congress created two agencies—the U.S. Geological Survey and the Bureau of Ethnology. Both, according to the author, have since "given direction, form, and stimulation to the science of earth and the science of man, and in so doing have touched millions of lives."

Annual Run Helps Others In Community
Utica, NY (WIBX) – An area event to raise money for local nonprofit food pantries will be taking place this Thursday.
The 26th Thanksgiving Day Run and Walk to End Hunger is taking place at the Utica Parkway Ski Chalet. The event offers a 5K run, 2 mile walk and a kid's run. Registration for the event will be on race day from 7:30 a.m. until 8:45 a.m. The kid's run will start at 8:50 a.m. and the 5K run and 2 mile walk will begin at 9 a.m..
Event Coordinator Dave Jones says he would like to see 600 people participate this year.
"Last year, on the 25th anniversary, we had a record turn out of almost 600 people," he said. "I'd like to see that again, but, you know, it depends on what happens when you wake up in the morning. If it's snowing or raining, we may get fewer, but, hopefully, the sky will hold up for us."
The minimum donation for the run and walk is $5 per person or $15 per family, plus two non-perishable food items per person.
All the money raised from the event will help local non-profit food pantries.

PROVIDENCE – Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island earned three designations in the U.S. News & World Report's 2011-12 Best Hospitals ranking.
Women & Infants ranked 19th in gynecology, is a top-performing hospital in cancer, and the No. 1 hospital in the Providence metropolitan area.
The publication ranked the Top Five of the 24 hospitals in the Providence metropolitan area, which includes New Bedford and Fall River.
Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island and Lifespan's Rhode Island Hospital tied for second place. The Miriam Hospital was ranked fourth and Morton Hospital and Medical Center in Taunton, Mass., ranked fifth.
The rankings cover 94 metropolitan areas and took into account death rates, patient safety measures, volume of care, and other data, as well as a national survey in which physicians were asked to name the best hospitals in their specialties.
The latest Best Hospitals rankings included 720 hospitals of the approximately 5,000 hospitals nationwide. Each is ranked among the country's top hospitals in at least one medical specialty and/or ranked among the best hospitals in its metro area.
In May, Women & Infants was named a U.S. News Best Children's Hospital in Neonatology.
"Being named one of [the nation]'s best hospitals in gynecology, a top performer in cancer, and the No. 1 hospital in the Providence metro area is a recognition of Women & Infants' preeminence in areas such as obstetrics, reproductive endocrinology, urogynecology and gynecologic oncology," said Constance A. Howes, president and CEO of Women & Infants. "This continued recognition truly is a testament to the skills and dedication of our entire staff."
Two Boston hospitals were ranked in the national Top 10 list of the 2011-12 Best Hospitals in the country: Massachusetts General Hospital at No. 2, and Brigham and Women's Hospital at No. 8. Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital was ranked as a Best Hospital in eight different specialties.
Well deserved by W&I.
How RI Hospital with its screwed up surgeries is tied for 2nd is a mystery.
