This meal brought about the usage of positive profanity. For starters, it was Mexican inspired and didn't include cilantro.
Jalapeno and Herb Roasted Tempeh and Broccoli. Served with red quinoa, black beans, carrots and fresh tomatoes.
Jalapeno and Herb Roasted Tempeh and Broccoli
Adapted from Jalapeño Roast Chicken with Baby Broccoli
Book: Marcela Valladolid's "Fresh Mexico," Clarkson Potter, 2009
Makes 4 servings
Frankly, I was googling "jalapeño" and "broccoli" for utilization.
The end result were these hearty, entrée-sized pieces of tempeh immersed in a savoury broth, flavored with the warm spice of jalapeños, and brightened with fresh basil. Broccoli florets are added to this gathering of green ingredients towards the end of roasting.
Ingredients for Paste:
- 1 small shallot
- 4 cloves garlic
- 3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano (or handful of fresh)
- handful fresh basil
- 1 jalapeno – stemmed and de-seeded
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- generous amount of freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon agave
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- pinch nutritional yeast
Ingredients for Broth:
- 1 cup 'chicken style' broth
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Additional Ingredients:
- 16 ounces tempeh, sliced into large triangles (halved if 8 ounce squares, for example)
- 1 jalapeno, sliced
- 1 bunch of broccoli, divided. Slice the stalks thinly.
Serving suggestions:
- fresh, sliced tomatoes
- fresh torn basil or oregano
- steamed grains, such as quinoa
- savoury black beans
- serve in a burrito or over pasta
- Preheat oven to 375F
- Add all liquids into 9×13 glass casserole dish. Carefully stir the pureed mixture into the large glass baking dish.
- Immerse the tempeh triangles into the liquid. Immediately flip over.
- Add the sliced jalapeno and bake for 20 minutes.
- Increase the heat to 400F. Remove the dish from the oven.
- Use a spatula to flip the tempeh pieces over. Add a spoonful of the baking liquid on top of each.
- Bake for an additional 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Add the broccoli and drizzle with additional baking liquid. If you are low on liquid, add a few tablespoons of additional broth.
- Roast an additional 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and serve as desired.

It's not easy keeping a secret in this town, especially when you play at the level of power that Carol Fulp has reached. But Wednesday night at Fenway Park for the CURE 2012 Boston Benefit, in a room filled with senators, CEOs, and power brokers, one of Boston's most respected women revealed a secret she's lived with since she was 7 years old. Fulp has epilepsy.
The CEO and president of The Partnership, Inc., and a former senior vice president at John Hancock Financial, Fulp also served recently as President Obama's US representative to the 65th session of the General Assembly of the United Nations.
"People like me who have epilepsy and respond to treatment know full well the negative stigma of epilepsy," Fulp said in her speech. "So we don't disclose we have the illness. As a result, we don't advocate — we don't lend our voice. And as such, the public doesn't always hear the truth, the facts from those who are living productive lives with epilepsy. And for me, well for 50 years, I didn't tell people I had epilepsy. "
Fulp spoke after Julia Barnicle, who also suffers from epilepsy, and is the daughter of Bank of America executive Anne Finucane and longtime journalist Mike Barnicle. Fulp told the audience she first had staring spells as a girl and said teachers took away her lead role in the class musical. She said medication has kept her seizure-free for long stretches, but that her last serious one nearly killed her. She was in the car with her husband, Bernie Fulp, while he drove them along a cliffside road on Martha's Vineyard, when she next woke up in a hospital. She had seized during their drive and said if she had been behind the wheel they would have crashed.
During her UN work she met David Axelrod, Obama's chief political strategist, whose daughter has epilepsy and whose wife, Susan Axelrod, cofounded CURE (Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy). Fulp said only her inner circle knew her secret, but she revealed it to the Axelrods.
"He took my hand in his," Fulp said, "and he thanked me for telling him and asked if I was OK."
After she closed by saying, "Tonight, Julia and I stand here and address you as the lucky ones," the audience stood and clapped for two minutes.Doug Most can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @Globedougmost.

Saturday 13th April 2013
Things are hotting up for UK dancehall star Stylo G as excitement about his latest single "Soundbwoy" continues to build.
The single was added to the BBC Radio 1Xtra playlist last week. And this week "Soundbwoy" burst into the Music Week Urban Club Chart at number 7 – the week's highest new entry.
Zane Lowe played the Sigma remix of the track on his show on Radio 1 on Wednesday night (he played the original mix in a previous show). Initial Radio 1 support for the single came from Toddla T and Rob Da Bank. Choice FM has been hammering it for weeks, so has Rinse FM.
And on Saturday "Soundbwoy" was the soundbed for the 'Showboat' feature on Sky Sport's popular magazine show Soccer AM.
That sent the single shooting to Number 2 on the iTunes Reggae chart!
"Soundbwoy" is released on May 26th but is available to pre-order on iTunes now with remixes from DiGenius, Sigma and Ross Couch.
If you still haven't seen the video take a look.

Hugo Lloris expecting Tottenham stay
Hugo Lloris will "deal with" his future soon and expects to be at Tottenham Hotspur next season.
- Transfer Talk: Debuchy and Sanchez linked with moves
Lloris, 27, has been linked with a move to Ligue 1, with the Mirror reporting in May that Paris Saint-Germain are interested in his signature.
However, the goalkeeper, whose nation France exited the World Cup against Germany on Friday, anticipates he will be plying his trade at White Hart Lane in the 2014-15 campaign.
"Yes, I should be [at Spurs next season]," Lloris is quoted by the London Evening Standard as having told reporters. "[But] I don't want to speak about my situation now.
"I need a few days to recover and after that to relax, have a good rest and come back for next season."
"I think I will speak soon about that and we will deal with it."
Lloris signed for Spurs from Lyon in 2012 and has since made 64 Premier League appearances for the club.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – The home court atmosphere is doing wonders for the Gauchos, as they maintained their momentum from last night's victory over Stanford to top the Pacific Tigers on Saturday afternoon in a three game sweep. Set scores went 25-21, 25-16, 26-24.
UCSB's record jumps to 9-12 overall, 7-10 MPSF. The Tigers are now 5-10, 3-10.
UCSB maintained their strong play through the start of the second set, again starting with a substantial lead. Dylan Davis and Jonah Seif teamed up to shut down the Tiger offense with a pair of blocks. The Gauchos cruised to a second set victory by nine points.
The third set started off as a nail biter and held true until the very end. The teams traded points and the Pacific went up to a three-point lead at 13-10. A UCSB timeout reenergized the Gauchos, who would tie the score at 13-13. Points went back and forth until Licht slammed a kill, giving the Gauchos a 24-22 advantage. The Tigers would not let up and tied the game at 24-24. After a Pacific service error, Miles Evans completed the sweep with a booming kill through the Tigers defense.
Pacific put up a noble effort and had strong performances from individual players. Taylor Hughes led the Tigers with 17 kills and three blocks. Tommy Carmody recorded seven kills and five blocks.
On the other side, Licht continued his court dominance with 18 kills, nine digs, and three blocks. Austin Kingi finished the night with 12 kills, 7 digs, and one block. Seif recorded a notable 41 assists and led the game with 11 digs.
"Our backs are against the wall for the last playoff spot," said UCSB head coach Rick McLaughlin. "This was a big win for us, and pushes us one step closer to getting into the MPSF Tournament."
Next up, the Gauchos stay at home and take on Cal State Northridge on Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. Tickets for that match can be purchased here.

Lighting accounts for about 13 percent of the average household's electric bill — cut costs by choosing new lightbulbs that have increased output and longevity. Some cost more up front, but prices are dropping as technology advances. Options include color, brightness, and even dimming and multi-way functions. Combining lights with automatic sensors can cut costs further.

1930s Fashion Video
The Baroness cannot come to the blog right now, as she is lost inside another one of Glamour Daze's amazing video clips, this one showing early 1930s fashion in color!!!! Also, I am working on getting my office redecorated now that the epic painting job is complete. Next step: listing a pile of new frocks for my Etsy shop (can't photograph 'em till a certain husb. gets me my camera back....hint hint). I also have a pretty action-packed weekend planned. Saturday is going to involve getting up early for an antique show. Sunday = possible visit to another key setting from the Anne of Green Gables movies. What are your plans for the weekend?

Former X Factor winner Shayne Ward was "devastated" as he became the latest celebrity to be voted off Dancing on Ice tonight after a "skate-off that should never have been".
The singer, who more recently starred in West End musical Rock of Ages, said he was "devastated" that his ice-dancing journey had come to an end.
With his partner Maria Filippov, Ward faced a skate-off against former Eastenders actor Matt Lapinskas and his partner Brianne Delcourt after finding themselves in the bottom two positions after the judges' scores were combined with viewers' votes.
Despite Lapinskas stumbling in his performance, the judges voted for him to stay, and the actor was unable to express his emotions as he wept on the ice-rink.
After the dance, his partner said: "He got right back up and went into a lift."
Mentor Christopher Dean also commended him, adding: "You recovered fantastically well."
His recovery was enough to save him and so Ward was dumped out of the competition, with head judge Robin Cousins saying the two dances "could not compare".
Judge Karen Barber found the decision difficult and said: "Well, this is a skate-off that should never have been."
On hearing his fate, Ward said: "I'm absolutely devastated."
Paying tribute to his fellow celebrities and ice dancers, the star said: "Thank you so much, you've been an amazing bunch."
Earlier in the evening Ward scored 23.5 out of a possible 40 while Lapinskas scored 28 - neither men were at the bottom of the scoreboard.
After his first dance, Cousins told Ward he was "almost more comfortable" on his own on the ice than when he was dancing with his partner.
Former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts was tickled pink by Ward's fetching costume.
"I never thought I'd be turned on by a man in a pink bedazzled shirt but I think that might have happened tonight," she said.
Lapinskas was praised for putting on a performance that was "unlike anything we've ever seen on the show", according to Gardiner.
Dressed as an evil swan, complete with black shiny feathers, Lapinskas was told his performance was "amazing".
Roberts said: "Oh drama baby, yeah! I was amazed and you give me goosebumps."

Oh, Fall
I picked up a sugar pie pumpkin from the coop yesterday with two goals. Today, I'll open up about the first: Pumpkin Syrup.
I'm one to seek out a vegan-friendly pumpkin latte or two, or milkshake, during my favorite season, and one to wonder, "Where aren't there more classy pumpkin cocktails?"
Pumpkin, seasonal spices and brandy (or bourbon, or just insert your mocktail design here) just make sense. With this in mind, and eye-rolling over the multiple recipes for pumpkin syrups and sauces online that simply involved pureeing canned pumpkin with maple syrup and heating it, the following happened in my kitchen…
Pumpkin Syrup
- 2 cups of cold water
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups roasted pumpkin*
- pinch sea salt
- 1 cinnamon stick (you'll be removing this after cooking)
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
- Combine everything, except for the maple, in a saucepan. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, and cover. Cook for 30 minutes. Gently stir, occasionally.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup.
- Carefully remove the cinnamon stick. Even more carefully, transfer to a blender, and puree until smooth. Be sure to let it cool, somewhat, or let the blender breathe so you don't have an autumn explosion on your hands.
- Transfer to a bottle or jar, and refrigerate in between use.
Use this sauce to sweeten your tea, incorporate into cocktails, bribe your friends for favors in the 10th and 11th months of the year, and smuggle into local coffeeshops.
Notes, etc: I purposely made this syrup light. Again, I didn't want a heavy pumpkin puree or a syrup I needed to constantly shake. Nor, did I want a heavily spiced syrup. If you want something thicker, use more pumpkin. Like it spicy? Add more spices, and consider adding freshly grated ginger.
*I didn't want to use raw or soft pumpkin, so I roasted it for 20 minutes at 400F, and let cool before use. I can't break down all the scientific sense as to why this made more sense to me, it just did.

Alarm watch
This most useful complication is the ideal
companion for the globe-trotter. Incorporated
in a wristwatch, practical when on a journey,
it sounds at a preset time.
This complication can be programmed to strike at an exact time. Useful as a wake-up alarm, it can also serve as a reminder of an engagement or a job to be done.
A 12-hour counter with two hands, positioned at 3 o'clock, displays the time programmed for the alarm. Pressing the push-piece at 8 o'clock activates the alarm by engaging a column wheel. An "On/Off" indicator at 1 o'clock shows at a glance whether the alarm is activated or not. The chime is produced by a hammer striking a gong.
Highly functional, Blancpain alarm watches unite two complications much appreciated by the 21st-century traveller: the mechanical alarm function and display of a second time zone, that is to say the GMT complication, together with the date, whose correction, forwards or backwards, is linked to the second time zone. Blancpain's GMT Alarm models show the reference time by means of a central hand on the 24-hour scale. The alarm time naturally refers to the second time zone, which is the one shown by the usual hours and minutes hands, and corresponds to the time in the country being visited.
Timepieces equipped with an alarm require two barrels, one storing the energy needed for the movement, the other that for the striking mechanism. The automatic winding system on Blancpain watches winds both the movement and the alarm power reserve simultaneouslyl.

Ex-Salvadoran military colonel's sentencing begins
BOSTON (AP) — A federal judge weighing punishment for a former El Salvador military leader on immigration charges heard testimony Thursday about allegations the defendant committed war crimes before coming to the United States.
Inocente Orlando Montano, El Salvador's former vice minister of public security, is hoping for a probation sentence after pleading guilty to lying on U.S. immigration forms.
Federal authorities arrested the 70-year-old in 2011 after he spent about a decade living in a Boston suburb and earning $14 an hour in a candy factory. They're asking for a sentence of more than four years in prison.
During testimony, Stanford University professor Terry Lynn Karl, a government witness with expertise in Latin American politics, defended her report that said Montano was part of a conspiracy with other high-ranking military officials to plot what turned into an incident known as the Jesuit Massacre.
In 1993, a United Nations commission named Montano as a participant in a meeting to plot the slaying of a priest suspected of supporting leftist rebels, which allegedly led to the deaths of six priests, their cook and her teenage daughter at a Jesuit university.
Montano is among 20 people that authorities in Spain indicted in 2011 in connection with the 1989 slayings during El Salvador's civil war. He has denied involvement, but prosecutors in the immigration case have alleged Montano emigrated in part to avoid possible prosecution for the massacre.
The defense has said that an amnesty law in El Salvador protected Montano from prosecution there, and he emigrated in 2001 because of financial hardships and problems after earthquakes.
U.S. District Judge Douglas Woodlock said Thursday his main concern wasn't to determine if Montano was involved in human rights violations, but to figure out if the defendant was concerned about potential prosecution for such crimes when he came to the U.S.
During cross-examination, Karl agreed El Salvadoran authorities didn't bring charges against Montano in the time that elapsed between the Jesuit massacre and when he left his country more than a decade later.
But Karl suggested some advocates for the victims "got very close" in their efforts to spark a prosecution in El Salvador.
Defense attorney Oscar Cruz Jr. also elicited testimony showing Karl's report mischaracterized a trip Montano once took to Chile as an opportunity to study intelligence methods, instead of calling it a military mission.
Cruz suggested the error wasn't insignificant because Karl's report cast Montano as an admirer of former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, and cited an order for the Chilean official to stand trial on human rights crimes as a reason Montano might have been motivated to leave El Salvador.
Walking with a cane, Montano declined comment upon leaving the courtroom Thursday.
His sentencing on three counts of immigration fraud and three counts of perjury is scheduled to continue Monday, when retired El Salvadoran military general Mauricio Ernesto Vargas is expected to testify as a defense witness.

Federal Requirement 4.4
Federal Requirement 4.4
Program length is appropriate for each of the institution's educational programs.
_X_ Compliance ___ Non-Compliance
NarrativeMcNeese State University is in compliance with Federal Requirement 4.4.
The Louisiana Board of Regents and the University of Louisiana System specify required program length for all academic awards and provide appropriate exceptions to these limits for programs with professional accreditation requirements. Louisiana Board of Regents Academic Affairs Policy 2.15 specifies definitions of Undergraduate Degrees and Undergraduate/Graduate Certificates, and the University of Louisiana System defines the requirements for associate degrees; baccalaureate degrees; master's degrees; and, specialist degrees.
Requirements for DegreesThe University demonstrates that program length is appropriate for each of its degrees offered. All associate degree programs are required to have at least 60 semester hours, all bachelor degree programs are required to have at least 120 semester hours, and all master's degree programs are required to have at least 30 semester hours. The 2012-13 Academic Catalog identifies all curriculum, and credit hour specifications are found on pages associated with specific curricula (this is updated for the forthcoming 2013-14 and contained on one page listing all degrees). In accordance with the Grad Act of 2010, which requires all associate degree programs at 4-year institutions be eliminated by 2014 (with approved exceptions), McNeese is in the process of reducing its number of associate degrees, which currently stand at 5 (2 AS, 1 AA, 1 AGS, and 1 AA).
Each degree program adheres to the standard number of semester hours required by the Louisiana Board of Regents (BOR), except for a small number of programs which have been approved by the University of Louisiana System to exceed the standard number. BOR policy (BOR Academic Affairs Policy 2.15) stipulates the standard undergraduate curricular requirements as follows and delegates approval for exceptions to the credit hour limit to the UL System All exceptions are approved by UL System staff and do not appear in official board minutes (see sample email).
- Associate degrees. The standard number of credits required for the Associate Degree will be 60. Two of the five associate degrees currently offered at McNeese (AA in Paralegal Studies, AGS in General Studies) meet the BOR standard number of hours for the degree. Three associate degree programs exceed the standard number as follows: AS in Computer Information Technology (64 credit hours), AS in Engineering Technology (64 - 67 credit hours), and ASN in Nursing (72 credit hours). These exceptions have been approved by the University of Louisiana System.
- Baccalaureate degrees. The standard number of credits required for baccalaureate degrees is 120. All but three baccalaureate degree programs meet the BOR standard number of hours for the degree of 120. The three exceptions, all of which exceed the standard number of hours, are as follows: BS in Engineering (128 credit hours), BS in Engineering Technology (124 credit hours), and BM in Music with a concentration in music education (132 credit hours). These exceptions have been approved by the University of Louisiana System.
- Graduate degrees. The minimum requirement for a Master's degree is 30 hours. Graduate programs at McNeese range from 30 - 66 hours (60 for MFA, 66 for Eds., which assumes 30 hours for the MA).
Certificate ProgramsMcNeese offers a number of certificate programs that range from a minimum of 12 hours to 33 (for add-on teacher certification programs). Certificates programs defined by the Board of Regents (Academic Affairs Policy 2.15), and McNeese offers Post-baccalaureate, Graduate, and Post-Master's Certificates according to these guidelines and internal policies applied by University Curriculum Committee (for PBCs) and the Graduate Council (for GC and PMCs: Policy and Application).
Program ReviewProgram review is conducted at various levels, both internal and external to the University. Externally, professional accrediting agencies, learned societies, and other agencies approve or certify many of McNeese's programs (see Institutional Summary). Professional accrediting agencies have established rigorous criteria which place University programs on a national level competitively with other programs.
At McNeese State University, the University Curriculum Committee is charged with reviewing undergraduate programs and the Graduate Council is charged with reviewing graduate programs. The program coordinators and department heads who are responsible for the programs initiate new programs and/or program changes. The review continues to the academic college, and, if approved by the dean of the college, new programs and/or program changes are sent to either the University Curriculum Committee or to the Graduate Council.
New programs and/or changes approved by the Curriculum Committee or the Graduate Council are forwarded to the Academic Advisory Council for discussion and review. Once approved by the Vice-President of Academic and Student Affairs and the President, the programs are forwarded to the University of Louisiana System and then to the Board of Regents for review and final approval (Evaluation and Review of Curricular Offerings Policy).

Director Lee Ann Ming sits alone in her darkened office. The windows overlooking the Operations floor are polarized and dark. The trickling of the fountain in the corner is the only sound. She sits, her hands clasped before her, eyes blank, thinking.
Insider her head, Ming's version of "thinking" bears little resemblance to anything human. She is calculating the long-term political repercussions of peace between Israel and Palestine. She is considering the millions of variables that could still derail it, slotting in the careful restoration of each preserved holy site by her Operatives for maximum political benefit. She is playing twenty seven games of chess with various opponents, calculating all possible moves from any given move she could make. She is considering four different interior design schemes for the renovation of her condominium. She is composing seven hundred and eighty five e-mails as well as considering the emotional, tactical, and political impact of each upon their recipients. She is reviewing the files of every Operative under her command from memory to anticipate any shift in psychological readiness or loyalty in light of recent events. She is learning the Tgalic language and putting the finishing touches on her personal reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European.
Most importantly, however, she is reviewing and adjusting her policy for dealing with global events.
She is aware, more than most, that the world is changing. Yama's Apocalypse was just the beginning. Gods are returning to Earth, and while they have thus far been forestalled, delayed, the reshaping of human society in light of the increasing "mad" Talent phenomenon is inevitable. She has done everything she can to preserve some bastion of secular society against this divine new world:
She permitted "Reverend Carpenter" to move freely after the removal of Albright's control, provoking "Jesus" McGrath into action. The apocalyptic events that followed shocked an otherwise religious America into a healthy cynicism of false gods, while eliminating hundreds of thousands of fanatically-inclined individuals from the population.
She arranged the infection of the global internet by an American mad Talent whose psychological profile bespeaks a fundamental commitment to the secular freedoms upon which the United States and the Internet itself were built.
She repaired relations with the Odal Rune, and cultivated cross-organizational research into the creation of alternate realities.
Most importantly, however, she effectively removed all active Mad Talents from North America save the few she controlled.
Director Ming sits in the dark in her office planning the new shape of the world. Almost idly she moves a white rook on the nearby chessboard and takes a black pawn. The computer automatically transmits the move to her opponent.

According to the World Jewish Congress — Latin American branch, unidentified persons attacked the Sephardic Synagogue in Rosario on New Year's Day and the Templo Libertad-in Buenos Aires on Jan. 12. Withdrawal U.S., Israel Sign Five-Year Agreement JERUSALEM (JTA)-The U.S. and Israel signed a five- year agreement here providing for the exchange of information on social services and human development. It covers the adoption of children with special needs, services for the functionally impaired, housing for the elderly, in-home day care for children and the prevention of juvenile delinquency. The signatories were Israel's Minister of Labor and Welfare, Aharon Uzan and the U.S. Assistant Secretary of Health, Dorcas Hardy. WASHINGTON (JTA) - The Reagan Administration believes that the Syrians want to negotiate a withdrawal of their troops from Lebanon but on their terms. The Jewish Telegraphic Agency has learned that this is the feeling of the Administration despite the lack of progress made during special Mideast representative Donald Rumsfeld's three- and-a-half hour talk in Damascus with Syrian President Hafez Assad. Rumsfeld reportedly .told the Israelis later that chances for an Dr. Robert Chazan Scheduled To Serve As Tifereth Israel's Scholar-ln-Residence Judy Blair and Marilyn Fishman, chairwomen of the Adult Education and Special Events Committees of Congregation Tifereth .Israel, announce that the Fifth Annual Scholar-in-Residence Weekend for Congregation Tifereth Israel will -be held -on Jan. 27-29. Guest speaker will be Professor Robert Chazan, professor of history at Queens College and former professor and director of the Melton CenEer for Jewish Studies at The Ohio State University. The weekend will begin with a dinner on Friday evening, Jan. 27. It is open to the entire congregation, but reservations are necessary and the number of reservations will be limited. Dinner will begin at 6 p.m. Cost is $7 for adults and $3.50 for children under 12. Reservations, accompanied by a check, should be sent to Congregation Tifereth Israel, J354 E. Broad St., Columbus, Ohio 43205. Dr. Chazan's first lecture will be at Friday night services, Jan. 27, beginning at 8 p.m. Service will be followed by an Oneg Shabbat. The second lecture of the series will be given at a Kiddush luncheon which will follow Saturday morning services. Services begin at 9 a.m. Baby sitting will be provided following services on reservation only. Dr. Chazan's third lecture will be presented at a breakfast' sponsored by the Men's Club on Sunday morning, Jan, 29. The topic for the full weekend is "The Changing Attitudes of the Jew to His Non-Jewish Environment." The Scholar-in-Residence Weekend is made possible by the contributions of patrons whose $50 contributions help to defray the costs. Patrons are listed on the weekend's program and are invited to join in a special Saturday evening program and discussion with Dr. Chazan. For further information on the patron's program, contact the synagogue office. Dr. Chazan received his doctorate from Columbia University and received a master's degree as well as rabbinical ordination from the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. He has been widely published on the history of Jews in Medieval Europe, the relationship of the Church to the Jews and Jewish life in the Middle Ages and in modern times. For further information, contact Rabbi Harold Berman or Evelyn Nateman, Adult Education Co-ordi- nator, at Congregation Tifereth Israel, 253-8523. agreement had"decreased." Assad has made it clear that* he wants Lebanon to abrogate its May 17 agreement with Israel and for Israeli troops to pull out of Lebanon before he will consider the withdrawal of Syrian troops from that country. At his meeting with Rumsfeld, he reportedly added the condition that the United States withdraw its troops too. The Administration be- lives that a major concern of Syria with the May 17 agreement is that it will make Israel the protector of Lebanon. Syria sees itself as the protector of Lebanon. Syria Does Not Want To Absorb Lebanon The U.S. does not believe that Syria wants to absorb Lebanon, something that is believed in Israel. Instead, the Administration noted that when Lebanon and Syria were removed from the control of the French in 1946 the Syrians agreed that they were two countries but one people. At the .same time, the Syrians maintained that they will not let Lebanon be used as a base or corridor for an attack "on Syria. The U.S. had accepted that Syria has long played an influential role in Lebanon. It is believed here that Syria wants stability in Lebanon and that is one of the reasons its army first went into the country in 1976 at the request of the then Lebanese government. But the Administration i; arguing that the security arrangements that, are now being negotiated between the various factions in Leba- World Renowned Flutist To Be Special Guest At Friends Of Hillel Reception Making final arrangements for this weekend's Scholar-in-Residence Program at Tifereth Israel are Evelyn Nateman, Adult Education coordinator, Tifereth Israel, and Iu.bbi Harold Berman.

She appears regularly as soloist with such major orchestras as the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Royal Philharmonic, the Hamberg Back Solisten and the English Chamber Orchestra. The Israel Chamber Orchestra was founded in 1965 by conductor Gary Bertini and offers a selection of music ranging from Baroque to original contemporary work commissioned for Israeli composers. Orchestra members include native Israeli talent as well as recent immigrants from the USSR and Eugenia Zuckerman the United States. Israeli born David Shallon, who has appeared with many of the greatest orchestras around the world, is conductor.

PARK CITY, Utah — The Sundance Film Festival is rightly famous for launching the careers of eminent filmmakers — directors Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson, Steven Soderbergh and Bryan Singer, to name just a few, all were discovered here. Yet the festival also can help establish heretofore unknown actors; a lineup of discoveries from past gatherings includes Brad Pitt ("Johnny Suede"), Carey Mulligan ("An Education") and Ryan Gosling ("The Believer").
The Times caught up with four of this year's most buzzworthy young stars: Michael B. Jordan, 25; Skylan Brooks, 13; Dane DeHaan, 26; and Kaya Scodelario, 20.
Michael B. Jordan
Jordan wasn't named after the famous Chicago Bulls basketball player. As his father's first son, Jordan inherited his dad's name just as a young NBA player was blossoming as a star in the league. But the New Jersey native is finally making a name for himself at Sundance this year, as his movie "Fruitvale" has been a slam-dunk with critics and audiences.
PHOTOS: The scene at Sundance 2013
In the movie, Jordan plays Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old African American father who was shot by police in an Oakland rapid transit station in 2009. Days after its premiere, the drama was snatched up for release by the Weinstein Co.

Are Bigger-Busted Women More Likely to Get Breast Cancer?
The size of a woman's (non-surgically-enhanced) bustline is often determined by DNA. But could bra size also predict a woman's odds of developing breast cancer?
After analyzing data from more than 16,000 women of European ancestry, researchers found a total of seven genetic factors significantly associated with breast size, three of which had already been found to also strongly correlate with breast cancer.
One of the SNPs — which stands for single nucleotide polymorphism, a variation at a single site in DNA — is known to regulate the expression of the estrogen receptor gene. That particular SNP doesn't just play a vital role in breast growth, it's also found in the majority of breast cancer cases.
Another SNP influences breast density — a risk factor for breast cancer — and research suggests it could also be associated with breast size.
Such findings indicate that some of the same biological pathways are behind breast growth and breast cancer, but more research is needed to provide a solid link.

Military Commissions Perspective columns.
In February, Majid Shoukat Khan, formerly of Baltimore, Md., became the seventh person convicted in the military commissions at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, since 2001. Khan accepted an offer for pretrial agreement to charges including conspiracy to commit the August 2003 bombing of the J.W. Marriott in Jakarta, Indonesia, and attempted assassination of the former President of Pakistan in 2002. It is believed that Khan may serve as a government witness in upcoming trials of Guantánamo detainees, including the alleged 9/11 co-conspirators. Should he fulfill the terms of the agreement, Khan will be sentenced to no more than 19 years in prison; however, at the time of his arraignment, Khan acknowledged that the government may continue to hold him in indefinite detention after he serves his sentence. Three weeks later, charges were referred against the 9/11 defendants, whose second arraignment is scheduled for early May.
Amongst the hype of the pending 9/11 arraignment, additional hearings were held in the trial of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the alleged U.S.S. Cole bomber. All eyes should be on the al-Nashiri case as Chief Judge of the Military Commissions, Colonel James Pohl, the judge in al-Nashiri, also appointed himself judge over the 9/11 case. On April 11 and 12, Judge Pohl finally heard oral arguments on constitutional challenges to the Guantánamo military commissions system, in addition to several discovery motions. The judge's interactions with counsel and his forthcoming rulings will set the road map for the 9/11 case. Al-Nashiri is arguably the most important case in Guantánamo.
Emotions were palpable as defense counsel moved to dismiss the charges against al-Nashiri on the grounds that the Guantánamo military commissions lack jurisdiction over him because the Military Commissions Act of 2009 (MCA) violates the equal protection component of the Due Process Clause and the MCA's limitation of personal jurisdiction to aliens violates the Define and Punish Clause. Counsel also challenged the jurisdiction of the commissions over the charges of conspiracy and terrorism and raised ex post facto challenges to each charge. Finally, counsel challenged the MCA as an unconstitutional Bill of Attainder. Judge Pohl reserved ruling on each of these motions; however, he made it clear that the Court of Military Commission Review (CMCR) had already ruled in favor of the government when it considered these challenges in a prior commissions case, al-Bahlul, and needed specific reasons to depart from those rulings to which he is bound. Counsel argued that the al-Nashiri case is distinguishable from al-Bahlul because al-Nashiri is facing the death penalty and those provisions of the MCA were not at issue in the case before the CMCR. Judge Pohl seemed skeptical.
NACDL maintains its position that the Guantánamo military commissions are inherently flawed, even after improvements to the MCA in 2009. Charges of conspiracy, material support, and terrorism are not traditionally considered war crimes and therefore not properly within the jurisdiction of the commissions system. Further, the commissions continue to allow the use of evidence derived as a result of coerced statements, albeit not the use of those statements directly made by the defendant, and severely impinge on a defendant's ability to confront witnesses. Given the continual displays of intrinsic unfairness in this commissions system, NACDL continues to advocate for the use of traditional federal criminal courts to try Guantánamo detainees and future terrorism suspects.
Of significant importance to future commissions cases, Judge Pohl ruled on several discovery motions, including a challenge by the defense to the constitutionality of a provision of the 2009 MCA that denies the defendant the ability to move the judge for reconsideration of his rulings on the adequacy of the government's classified information substitutions. Judge Pohl found that the constitutional challenge was not ripe given that no summaries have been ruled on yet; therefore, there is no actual need for reconsideration at this time. However, while the judge found, as he did previously, that the MCA prohibits the defendant from making a request for reconsideration, he also found, and the government agreed, that nothing in the statute prohibited the judge from deciding sua sponte to reconsider the adequacy of the substitutions. While this workaround appears to have addressed the reconsideration issue for the time being, it puts the judge in the position of being a mind reader to know when the defense may have requested the judge to reconsider his previous rulings. This is just another example of how the commissions differ from the federal system and the creative and potentially unfair ways military judges are forced to work around the revised MCA.
Further argument was heard on the issue of classified information, including a defense motion to extend the time in which it may submit its ex parte statement of the case to the judge to better assist him in ruling on the adequacy of the government's substitutions of classified evidence. This issue first arose in January when Judge Pohl denied the defense's request to make such adequacy determinations close to the trial date to afford the defense the time to investigate the case and build a defense strategy, but granted a defense motion to provide him with ex parte information regarding the defense's trial strategy for his use when considering the adequacy of the summaries of the classified documents. Counsel requested an extension of at least 90 days to make the submission, but Judge Pohl only gave them approximately two weeks of additional time. His ruling resulted in part from the fact that a classification "spill" occurred by inclusion of classified evidence in a file marked "unclassified discovery" by the government that caused the defense a two week delay in reviewing the discovery. Defense counsel was noticeably upset by this order and noted that it can take years to develop a defense theory in a capital case, but that they were being forced to submit their theory within the first six months of al-Nashiri's case.
Defense resources — which will prove to be a continual theme in commissions cases — were at issue again this time around. Judge Pohl denied a defense request to compel translation of all discovery into Arabic so that al-Nashiri could exercise his right to participate in his own defense. The Judge found that translation of every piece of discovery is not mandated in federal court, nor should it be mandated in the commissions. Upon denying the defense's motion, al-Nashiri's learned counsel and NACDL Life Member Richard Kammen preserved the record for appeal, noting that the judge's ruling denies al-Nashiri of his rights to effective assistance of counsel and to participate in his own defense, and violates the Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments, as well as the MCA, Detainee Treatment Act, and the United States' international treaty obligations.
Still considering resources issues, the judge did grant the defense's request for funding for a Yemeni investigator; however, the judge questioned the team's choice of a man who reportedly has no investigation experience and openly called for the former Yemeni President to step down from power. Finally, the defense requested information about the amount of resources expended by the government prior to referring charges against al-Nashiri. The judge agreed that such information can be useful to al-Nashiri's mitigation case and ordered the government to come up with some reliable numbers to satisfy this request. The defense contends that the government spent approximately 30 man-years between 2000 and 2002 investigating the attacks on the Cole and other vessels in Yemen, plus an additional 30 man-years between 2002 and referral of charges in October 2011. At a press conference following the hearings, Chief Prosecutor Brigadier General Mark Martins stated that the average capital case in federal court runs the defense about $300,000, and the defense in al-Nashiri has already received $100,000 in resources to date. When asked what the prosecution's budget was, General Martins replied that the prosecution has no budget — that the budget is driven by what due process and justice require — and referred reporters to the Department of Defense for actual costs.
After hearing argument on about 24 different motions, Judge Pohl was noticeably frustrated with both sides, noting that he no longer wanted to hear "argument by anecdote," nor did he desire comparisons of the commissions system with the traditional federal system and the courts martial system. What is troubling about this last comment is the fact that the Guantánamo Military Commissions are basically a hybrid of the other two existing systems, except when the MCA completely departs from fundamental notions of fairness and creates its own rules, such as lax hearsay rules and the use of derivative evidence obtained by coercion. With each hearing in the al-Nashiri case it becomes ever more apparent that the commissions system is irreparably flawed and designed to provide fewer protections to a defendant than the federal criminal justice system, making convictions — and ultimately death — easier. Mr. al-Nashiri is viewed as being a guinea pig for the 9/11 case, while the United States government disregards the fact that this man, while accused of a heinous crime, deserves every ability to defend his life from arbitrarily being taken. Defense attorney Kammen said it best: the attitude of the military commissions is that it can kill al-Nashiri and do it cheaply.

Researchers are studying the highly sophisticated ways a baby learns with the development of an eerily realistic robotic baby. Javier Movellan, a research scientist, and his team at the Machine Perception Laboratory at the University of California, San Diego, collaborated with Japanese robotics manufacturer Kokoro Company to create Diego-san, a robotic 1 year-old that learns how to control his body and communicate non-verbally with others. The goal of creating this lifelike baby robot is to study how infants develop motor skills and learn to use nonverbal communication through gestures and facial expressions during the first year of their life. Movellan explains, "Basically, we are trying to understand the computational problems that a baby's brain faces when learning to move its own body and use it to interact with the physical and social world." See a video clip of Diego-san in action after the jump!
Measuring 4 feet 3 inches tall and weighing about 66 lbs., Diego-san is bigger than your average 1 year-old — due to the fact that it was too hard to make his parts small enough to fit into a normal-sized 1 year-old's frame. Diego-san's body has over 60 moving parts, with 20 of those in his head, including high-resolution cameras for eyes, an audio speaker in the mouth, and 6-axis accelerometers in the ears that detect orientation and movement. Diego-san also has 5-fingered hands that are capable of holding objects like plastic bottles. Additionally, he's equipped with sensors that detect the amount of pressure placed on different joints in his 'body', and he has the ability to stand up from a sitting position in a chair.
Javier Movellan and his colleagues are developing the software that allows Diego-san to learn to control his body and to interact with people. The project could be groundbreaking in the computational study of infant development and might even offer new clues in the study of autism and William's syndrome.

The OpenGL Preview project aims to create a fast previewer for Hugin, reducing the time taken to redraw the preview to real time rates. After that, the new previewer can be made more interactive than the current one. The project is James Legg's Google Summer of Code 2008 project, mentored by Pablo d'Angelo.
Image Transformations
The new previewer will have to approximate the remapping of the images to fit on low resolution meshes. There are two methods for this:
Remapping Vertices
Taking a point in the input image, we can find where the point is transformed to on the final panorama. Therefore, we can take a uniform grid over an input image, and create a mesh that shows remaps this grid into the output projection.
- This method suffers when the input image crosses over the +/-180° boundary in projections such as Equirectangular Projection, as there will be faces connecting one end to the other, and nothing between the edges of those faces and the actual boundary. We must split the mesh so that it each part is continuous, which means some faces will have to be defined off the edge of the panorama.
- The poles of an equirectangular image will also cause similar problems. At a pole, the image should cover the whole width of the panorama, but this is only one point in the input image. Vertices in the mesh near the pole are define a face that does not cover the whole row.
- The detail in the faces might not match up well with the area of the panorama. The faces are all of different sizes and some mappings may put the details in parts that can't be seen as easily as the lower resolution parts.
- The mesh resembles the output projection well, and covers up roughly the same area as the correct projection. The edges of the mesh lies along the edges of the image, so we don't need to worry about what happens outside of it.
Remapping Texture Coordinates
Alternatively, given a point on the final panorama, we can calculate what part of an input image belongs there. Therefore, we can take a uniform grid over the panorama, and map the input image across it.
- This mapping breaks down at the borders of the input image. The borders of the input image may cross the output mesh at any position, so we need to draw the image with a transparent border.
- We must also calculate the extent of the images in the result so the mesh only covers the minimal area.
- Some faces of the minimal bounding rectangle still don't contain any of the input image at all, processing them would be a waste of time.
- There are no problems at the poles and edges of the panorama.
- The output is of uniform quality throughout, as the faces always have the same density.
Distortions Comparison
To check that these transformation methods do not distort the image too much, I devised a test. Using Nona to produce a coordinate transformation map from input image coordinates to output image coordinates, and similarly creating a projection that goes the other way, I tried these transformations in Blender.
I projected a cylindrical panorama, 360° wide, and with a pixel resolution 4 times as wide as it is tall, into a fisheye image pointing at the lower pole of the input image, 270° wide, and square.
|Vertex mapping Approximate Transformation
This mesh has 32 columns of faces, and 8 rows, across the input image. Since the image is 4 times as wide as it is tall, this means there are 256 faces which cover an equal amount of the input image.
|Transformation with Nona
This is the remapping that the other images are approximating.
|Texture Coordinate mapping Approximate Transformation
This mesh has 16 rows of faces and 16 columns, spread equally over the output panorama, so there are 256 faces which cover an equal amount of the output.
Note that at this point I have not attempted to correct the texture coordinates around the boundary of the input image.
Another test performed was mapping a rectilinear image to the zenith of an equirectangular image.
As there are many good ideas for the future of a graphically-accelerated Hugin after this project is complete (See the discussion on the mailing list), it is clear that a lot of development can occur using OpenGL and the new preview after I have completed this project. Therefore it is especially important that I provide clean, highly modular and extensible code for future use. Here is a proposal for some modules and interfaces:
- Texture Manager
- The texture manager will be built on top of Hugin's ImageCache, and will perform a similar function but using graphics memory and textures. It will be able to set the active texture to one that represents an image. It should be guaranteed to have a texture for each image when you want to use one, but it won't necessarily give you one that is a good size. It will adjust the size of the textures it is storing so they fill a sensible amount of memory and provide a even level of detail for the images.
- Mesh Manager
- The mesh manager will set up lists of instructions for the graphics system to draw a given image, remapped how it should be in the panorama's output.
- Mesh Transformation Stack
- This will provide the coordinates of points in a mesh. It is a stack so that when only moving the image, we can just recalculate the top of the stack and not have to worry about how distortion parameters are affecting the image. The mesh manager uses the top of this transformation stack. This will also be where coverage tests are performed, so we can identify images under a point.
- Renderer
- This is responsible for drawing the panorama, although it only really compiles a list of render layers and draws them when asked to.
- Render Layers
- Everything the renderer draws would have been put there by a render layer. As the name suggests, they are ordered and can cover each other up. At the end of the project there will obviously be a layer to draw the selected images. Other layers provide indication of image outlines, or perhaps redraw an image in a specific way.
- Image Render Hooks
- When drawing, we may want to do something different for a selection of the images. A render hook can be set up that changes how an image is rendered. It can provide callbacks for before and after drawing, a condition to drop an image from rendering altogether, or a replacement function for drawing it. An example would be to provide different blending modes. We could subtract an image from the ones behind it by dropping it from the images render layer, and then drawing it again in a different render layer, but subtracting it from the layers beneath. Alternatively, if we wanted something drawn in place but semitransparent, we could turn on blending before it is drawn and turn it off afterwards.
- Viewer
- The viewer combines together a renderer and a some basic interface for the tools. It tells the renderer to redraw when the window needs redrawing. Also it stores where in the panorama the user is looking at and how far they are zoomed in. It can convert between a mouse position and a position in the panorama.
- Input Manager
- An input manager gets all keyboard and mouse events the viewer sees and passes them to the correct tool. Tools register events they want. When tools are disabled they should give up their events, which can then be taken by a newly activated tool.
- Tools
- Tools can be enabled or disabled. When switching states they must set up or turn off events in the input manager, render layers, and image render hooks. They get access to the panorama data and viewer data.
- GLPreviewPanel
- This is a replacement PreviewPanel. It holds the viewer and gives it some screen space. It shows controls for the viewer and tools. It will keep an input manager to decide what to do with user input events. Some tools may be mutually exclusive, for example there might be a few that want to handle mouse events. The preview panel should turn off one tool before starting another in this case.
The PreviewFrame will then have an option to switch between the existing PreviewPanel and the new GLPreviewPanel.
Currently there is a PanoramaObserver class, children of this class are notified when the panorama changes. However the viewer is somewhat independent of the panorama, it even makes sense to have multiple viewers of the same panorama. Still, some objects would need to be notified of when the view changes. Therefore we will leave the viewing conditions to the viewer, and provide some more event notifications for when they change. This will be helpful for the texture and mesh managers for instance, since they can change the level of detail as the user zooms on an image. Also any tool that requires this information can also use it.
Additionally, a texture detail change event would be nice, so that when a higher detail texture is ready for use, we can immediately redraw with the higher resolution. This will allow adaptive detail, since we can delay getting the more detailed texture and keep the user interface interactive for a while, and switch when we are ready. Similarly a mesh detail event should be created, this will allow the window to be redrawn after a mesh has been regenerated. We may also need an idle event, so that when we are done processing important things we can consider updating the textures or meshes.
Perhaps it should be possible to delay these events, so that when the preview window is not visible we don't try to update anything. This would mean you can make many minor alterations to the panorama without waiting for any part of the preview to be recalculated, if it was out of sight.

Order Swatch
We do sell samples of most of our fabrics. Look for the "Order Swatch" button associated with each fabric. This will indicate if a swatch is available for that particular fabric or not.
Because many of the fabrics we stock are non reorderable and are "special purchases", there is the possibility that a fabric could sell out by the time you receive your swatch.
Add to Design Wall
Our Design Wall allows you to see how fabrics look together. You can add multiple fabric images to the Design Wall, rearrange them, view them next to or on top of each other, and add them all to your cart from one convenient window.
Almost Sold Out Items
This item is a Non Reorderable item, meaning we can not order more of it.
"Almost Sold Out" means the quantity available is running low. If you want to be sure you are able to get this item, we would encourage you to order it now, as it may become unavailable in the very near future.
Special Purchases
Many of the items we purchase come to us from well known brand name design houses. This is first quality merchandise that we purchase at significant discounts and which we therefore are able to offer to you at remarkably low prices. A consequence of buying this Special Purchase merchandise is that we cannot reorder. So, when we are sold out, we will not be able to order any more.
Look for our Special Purchase Icon as a sign of incredible savings for you, but also know that you should act quickly to be sure you don't miss out.
Non Reorderable Items
If the quantity available is running low and you want to be sure you are able to get this item, we would encourage you to order it now, as it may become unavailable in the very near future.
Reorderable Items
A Reorderable Product is one that we attempt to maintain in stock at all times. Occasionally, our supplier may be out of stock, causing us to be in a temporary backorder inventory position. In that case, you will see the ETA (estimated time of arrival), indicating our best estimate of when it should arrive at our warehouse.
Some reorderable products are available for backorder. If you would like to backorder this item, simply select your quantity and Add to Cart and this item will be automatically placed on backorder for you and shipped when available. You will not be charged for this item until it is shipped and you will not be charged additional shipping.
Washing Tips
Pre-Treat Your New Fabrics!
It is very important to treat/ wash your new fabrics exactly as you plan to treat/wash them after the garment or home décor item is made. Even dry cleaning can produce some shrinkage. We recommend you test a 4" x 4" square of your new fabric if you are at all unsure how it will react to your chosen laundering method. If you always test the same sized square, you will be able to check the percentage of shrinkage.
Fabric Weight
Very Lightweight = 0 – 3.4 oz/yd²Lightweight = 3.5 – 5.9 oz/yd²Medium Weight = 6 – 7.9 oz/yd²Medium/Heavyweight = 8 – 9.9 oz/yd²Heavyweight = 10 – 11.9 oz/yd²Very Heavyweight = 12 – 25 oz/yd²

This week's award for not only Most Ill-Advised Rape Joke, but also Most Tasteless Celebrity Death Tie-In and Least Sincere Apology definitely goes to Esquire.
So. You're running an article themed around sex and you want to make it current and oh-so-relevant to the issues hitting the headlines right now. How about a guide to satisfying oral sex? Good thinking. How about running it as a tie in with the Strauss-Kahn rape case, using details of the incident to proclaim that it doesn't have to be so bad, if readers take your advice on board?
Yes, Esquire went there. Accuser Nafissatou Diallo, who, as the case threatens to fall apart amid numerous controversies, has this week gone public, telling her side of the story to Newsweek. She has revealed her ordeal in graphic detail. And in the original version of the feature, which was entitled "How to have more satisfying sex than DSK", Esquire described this as "a tragedy". No, not the fact that a woman has told of being raped, but the fact that the act itself obviously wasn't particularly enjoyable. Readers were told in the opening paragraph:
"A blowjob need not be hurtful or degrading, for either party."
And whatever you think about this statement on its own, I think most people would agree on the fact that it should never, ever be used to apply to situations which involve rape. Especially in a way which suggests that you know, it's a bit, well, funny. Because the fact she didn't enjoy it meant that she could probably do with a few sex tips, right? "Ladies: How to get the most out of your rape". My sides are splitting. They went on to tweet a link to the article from their official Twitter account:
Within minutes Twitter had exploded with what it does best: outrage. Esquire deleted the offending tweet and even cut the first paragraph of the article to remove any trace of reference to DSK. It was just a shame, then, that they followed it up with a pretty poor excuse for an apology. "Sorry if an earlier tweet offended anyone"? It's nice that they plumped for "if", there, referring to their "sense of humour", as if, in the grand scheme of things, anger at rape jokes is merely a matter of some people just not getting their zany way with words. Because at the end of the day, it's easy to confuse run-of-the-mill oral sex with traumatic non-consensual incidents.
Let's be clear here - rape jokes aren't funny. In case any members of staff at Esquire are wondering, here's a handy guide that explains when it's okay to mix rape and humour. The gist is this: if you're thinking of making a wisecrack at the expense of rape victims, don't do it. It's not big, or clever, and it contributes to the wider problem of what we call rape culture.
That's the way in which society rationalizes and normalizes rape - by laughing about it, victim blaming, saying it's a natural consequence of various actions like drinking or wearing short skirts, treating it as 'a compliment', using it to make cracks about the attractiveness of the victim, using the word when you mean that your football team lost a game or someone hacked your Facebook account. And guess what? It has a devastating effect on the many men, women and children who, each year, become victims of rape and sexual assault.
Call it another tiresome drama for the pitchfork-wielding Twitterati or hysterical feminists with their knickers in a twist if you like, but Esquire definitely crossed a line. And that must be a theme for them this week, as Monday was also the day its style blog ran a post entitled "In tragedy, a style appreciation for Blake Fielder-Civil". Yes, that Blake Fielder-Civil, Amy Winehouse's ex-husband - currently serving a jail sentence for burglary and possession of a firearm, the man who was at her side during some of her most self-destructive moments and someone who's been widely condemned as an unhelpful presence in her life in the wake of her death at the weekend.
Seeing as we'd already had the most mind-boggling of Winehouse tie-ins when the Huffington Post published "Amy Winehouse's untimely death is a wake up call for small business owners" on Sunday - Esquire decided to run with "most tasteless" instead. Good work, guys!
