Purchased puff pastry makes the flaky crust super-easy, while using a nonstick cake pan makes the tarte a cinch to remove.
- Yield
- Makes 6 to 8 servings
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 5 medium unpeeled peaches, quartered, pitted
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of 17.3-ounce package), thawed
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
- Sweetened whipped cream
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine sugar, 3 tablespoons water, and light corn syrup in small nonstick skillet. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat; boil without stirring until syrup is deep amber color, occasionally brushing down sides of skillet with wet pastry brush and swirling skillet, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Quickly stir in unsalted butter, fresh lemon juice, and salt. Immediately pour caramel into nonstick 9-inch-diameter cake pan with 1 1/2-inch-high sides.
- Place unpeeled peach quarters, skin side down, in concentric circles atop caramel in cake pan, covering caramel completely. Bake until peaches are just tender, about 30 minutes. Remove cake pan from oven.
- Roll out puff pastry sheet on lightly floured work surface to 12-inch square. Using 10-inch-diameter tart pan bottom or plate as guide, cut out round. Pierce pastry all over with fork. Cover peaches in cake pan with pastry round; press pastry down around peaches at edge of cake pan.
- Bake tart until pastry is puffed and deep golden, about 27 minutes. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Let stand in cake pan at room temperature. Rewarm tart in 350°F oven for 10 minutes before continuing.) Let tart rest 5 minutes. Cut around edge of cake pan to loosen pastry. Place large platter over cake pan. Using oven mitts, hold cake pan and platter firmly together and invert, allowing tart to settle onto platter. Carefully lift off cake pan. Rearrange any peaches that may have become dislodged. Cool tart 30 minutes. Sprinkle with lemon peel. Cut warm tart into wedges; serve with whipped cream.

Mr. Speaker, it is a sad day that we are standing to speak to the last group of motions. The government has chosen to use closure to shut down consultation with the grassroots people and frontline soldiers the minister talks about: the farmers, ranchers, people in the forest industry and all those who pay taxes to allow the country to exist. On this dark day I will speak briefly to the motions in Group No. 5.
It is interesting that the government has totally withdrawn clause 109 which may have someday put compensation into the regulations. I defy any rural member across the floor here to go home and say "Guess what, guys? Now you will not get any compensation for sure". I dare them to stand on the election platform and justify that one. I wonder how they would handle it.
We see what the Liberal government is really about. It brought its rural caucus onside by saying it would change the word may to will. It has now cancelled the whole thing. That is pretty shocking. It is shocking to find out about it in the House in the 11th hour. Under the current bill there would not be compensation or fair market value. It does not even contain the term fair and reasonable which is what the committee finally agreed on. Real estate people and lawyers who were consulted said it had to be fair market value because fair and reasonable could mean anything. Now the bill contains nothing, not even fair and reasonable. That is pretty shocking.
We talked earlier about the issue of mens rea. This means if farmers who plow the fields, ranchers who put cattle into the pastures or miners who exercise property rights do not do environmental impact studies to find out if an endangered species or habitat is present they would be guilty before even entering a courtroom. What kind of justice system is that?
Why would the government not want to consider the socio-economic issues? The possibility of losing 10,000 jobs, 20,000 jobs or whatever should be a factor in considering whether to save habitat or species like the wart toad, liverwort or whatever. It seems only reasonable that the government consider these things.
The process of consultation and co-operation is a farce. It is a lie. It is nowhere in the legislation. Landowners need to be involved in the consultation process, yet they would not be. Bill C-5 would be exactly what the American legislation is. Americans experts who have been looking at this type of legislation for close to 30 years have said the Endangered Species Act in the United States has yet to save a single species although it has been in effect 27 years. They have predicted SARA would be equally ineffective in Canada.
The money would be used for litigation. It would be a great time for lawyers but not for landowners and those who care about species. Bill C-5 would endanger the species it is trying to save. We hope it will endanger the party across the way in the next election when the Canadian people find out what it really means.
I have spoken to a number of environmental groups which say if we do not compensate people on the ground they will not co-operate. That should be common sense. However the government does not realize that. The withdrawal of motion 109 further emphasizes how bad the legislation would be.
Co-operation is what it takes. I will tell the House a story about a time a long time ago when I worked for the Canadian Wildlife Service. I had some money and my job was to go out and protect habitat. We would go to farmers and say they had marsh land we wanted to protect. The farmers might say they had planned to drain it or do something else with it. However when we offered compensation for the land there was not one person who did not sign the agreement. That is what co-operation is all about. That is how to protect habitat.
Farmers and ranchers across the country are already preserving habitat and species. Bill C-5 would do nothing but antagonize them and make them stop doing what has been normal practice for them up to this point.
What does the government not understand about getting the co-operation of landowners? How does it hope to work with the provinces when it is putting in a safety net proposal that says federal legislation would rule? If the federal government deemed that provincial governments were not doing an adequate job it would come down on them with overriding legislation. That would mean court action and more court action. It would mean lawyers and more lawyers. It would put more money in the pockets of lawyers and less in the hands of the front line workers the minister talks about.
I could go on about all the amendments put forward and the hard work of the committee to try to make the legislation better. For the first time since I have been in the House we had co-operation among all members on the environment committee. We really cared.
Today we voted for some motions put forward by an hon. member regarding aboriginal issues. We co-operated because we knew the members would co-operate on some of our big concerns. We worked hard on it. What did the government do? It came in and reversed all the things we fixed in the legislation. It did not listen to members from all parties. Five parties worked together to make the legislation better. The government then had the nerve to come in at report stage with all these amendments and reverse everything we did. It makes one wonder why we bother to get involved in committees or do any work. We worked hard on the legislation for 9 or 10 months to try to make it work.
It is a sad day. The government has used closure. Under the bill there would be no compensation. It would make landowners and users guilty until proven innocent. We are slapping the provinces in the face. Bill C-5 would do nothing to save species at risk. We should be disgusted with this piece of legislation and what we have seen today. The government should pay a big price for using closure to pass Bill C-5 and ram it down people's throats.

Bernard Bigras Bloc Rosemont—Petite-Patrie, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to speak again on Bill C-5, which we are addressing again today.
We have got to the fifth group of motions of this major bill, which has stirred up opposition, not just on this side of the floor but also some considerable opposition leading to a crisis on the government side. This bill runs counter to what the protection of Canada's endangered species is all about.
A bit of a historical review will remind us that Quebec and some other provinces decided as early as 1996 to sign the national accord for the protection of species at risk in Canada. This was a commitment by the provinces to protect the species and habitat within their territory in order to provide greater protection to our ecosystems and to the habitat, which is where the endangered species are to be found.
At that time, the accord represented an important federal initiative. It set out a number of principles relating to co-operation and collaboration with the provinces. As far back as 1996, Quebec had presented the federal government with a number of initiatives and legislation that had already been enacted by the Bourassa government.
I have a very clear recollection of this endangered species legislation. It took effect in Quebec in 1989. It was adopted and sponsored by members on the other side of the national assembly, even Quebec Liberal MLAs voted in favour of this legislation which protected endangered species on Quebec territory.

Karen Redman Liberal Kitchener Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to inform the House and all Canadians that June is National Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Awareness Month in Canada.
The effects of spina bifida range from severe physical disabilities and developmental delay to problems that can be corrected by surgery. The most common effects are limited use of the lower limbs and bowel and bladder limitations. Since its inception in 1981 the Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Association of Canada has been providing information and support for affected families, promoting public awareness and supporting research on spina bifida.
In March, 2002 Health Canada launched a campaign to help prevent spina bifida and other neural tube birth defects. The campaign promotes awareness among Canadian women of childbearing years and their health care providers of the importance of taking folic acid before conception and in the early weeks of pregnancy to reduce the risk of spina bifida and other neural tube birth defects.
Let us all support that campaign.

Philip Mayfield Canadian Alliance Cariboo—Chilcotin, BC
Mr. Speaker, since 1994 the Liberal government has denied Canada's military the helicopters it needs to carry out dangerous missions. The Canadian Press has obtained a defence department report detailing the effects of this political foot dragging.
Our pilots asked for warning equipment that would alert them when enemy radar locked onto their Sea Kings. They were denied. Our pilots asked for flares and chaff that would throw missiles off their Sea Kings. They were denied. They asked for a device that would alert pilots if their Sea Kings were targeted by enemy lasers. They were denied.
Instead of buying our troops this defensive equipment to protect them in battle the government bought $100 million in luxury jets for the Prime Minister and his cabinet, not because they were needed but because they were nicer.
It is no wonder 69% of Canadians think this government is incompetent. The Prime Minister and his Cabinet should be ashamed. Canadians deserve better, a lot better.

Mr. Speaker, yesterday I had the great honour of unveiling the postage stamp commemorating "Embâcle", the work of the great Canadian sculptor, Charles Daudelin, from Granby located in my riding.
Charles Daudelin had exceptional talent, unparalleled vision and unflagging creativity. This man who hailed from my region had a phenomenal career as an artist both here and abroad.
He was ahead of his time and contributed more than anyone else in giving new impetus to sculpture in Quebec by creating grandiose, even gigantic sculptures for public areas, which blended in marvelously with the urban landscape.
I am extremely happy that Canada Post is paying tribute to the work of this unique pioneer. This stamp provides us with another opportunity to appreciate the talent of this artist who left his permanent mark not only on the wonderful world of sculpture, but also on all of the arts community in Quebec and Canada.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate a resident of Hamilton Mountain, Amanda Charlebois, on receiving the prestigious Lady Baden-Powell Award for achievement in the girl guides.
The Girl Guides of Canada was founded in 1910 to help young women become responsible citizens, able to give leadership and service in the community, whether local, national or global. The girl guides work to inspire an ethic of co-operation while encouraging leadership potential, giving girls opportunities to experiment with various roles, allowing them to develop diverse skills and a sense of pride and confidence that will stay with them throughout their lives.
Amanda personifies this ethic, having earned 72 community badges through participation in volunteer work and camp. She has experienced activities from snowshoeing to photography, to aviation and first aid.
I wish to congratulate both Amanda on her achievement and the Girl Guides of Canada for their good work in organizing and encouraging young girls and women like Amanda to develop their potential.

Mr. Speaker, at this moment we have thousands of Canadians on surgery waiting lists. One of my own constituents has been waiting for surgery for a year and has been told to expect to wait another six months. This is on the priority list.
There are burdensome costs to these patients on waiting lists. Many continue to endure much pain and suffering, bear the financial burden of more prescription drugs, endure decreased physical ability and suffer the loss of income because of additional sick days off work. This is unacceptable.
We are not living in a third world country. We live in one of the most progressive countries in the world and yet we do not provide adequate health care for our own people. This is one more issue the Liberal government has failed to address. Liberals are caught up in the defence of their own corruption and are bogged down with endless studies.
Canadians are left with a government incapable of responsible action. How can it defend its virtual inaction in dealing with the health care crisis when it is costing our constituents on a daily basis?

Mr. Speaker, a recent article by Pierre Jury in Le Droit caught my attention. It was about an exceptional resident of the Outaouais, Lise Waters, a retired teacher and a volunteer for over 30 years with youth in sport.
As Pierre Jury wrote, Lise Waters is a woman who works for absolutely nothing, for the pleasure of giving, for the pleasure of staying young at heart.
President for the past 12 years of the Unité régionale de loisir et de sport de l'Outaouais, each election finds her hoping that she will be able to make way for someone younger. Unfortunately, but fortunately for the clientele, when no candidates step forward, the sexagenarian generously takes on the job, anxious not to leave a gap.
The Bloc Quebecois joins with me in paying tribute to Lise Waters and wishes her many more years of success among the young people of whom she is so fond.

Mr. Speaker, last week the Greater Halifax Partnership released a report on the economic future of the Halifax region and indeed Nova Scotia in general.
As many members will know, the oil and gas sector of Nova Scotia is booming. While it would be wrong to hang our hopes on a single industry, our offshore resources have the potential to give the people of Nova Scotia what they really want, sustainable, long term economic growth. The numbers look good: a possible GDP growth of 72%, 52,000 new jobs and growth in the housing and service sectors by 2020. The end result of all this is clear. More young Nova Scotians will be able to stay in their home province.

Betty Hinton Canadian Alliance Kamloops, Thompson And Highland Valleys, BC
Mr. Speaker, on August 12, 1944, Lieutenant Colonel Al Trotter was shot out of the sky on his 44th mission over enemy territory. He was captured, tortured and interned for more than 300 days.
Due to communication errors with veterans affairs, the prisoner of war was unaware for 14 years that he was entitled to compensation for his pain and suffering. Now, after 10 years of appeals, the government still refuses to honour the retroactivity of this distinguished veteran. The government has unlimited funds for the Prime Minister's Challenger jets and is embroiled in controversy over contracts paid in full for services not rendered.
This distinguished veteran did honour his contract, but Canada does not recognize his service and POW status due to bureaucratic red tape and miscommunication. Lieutenant Colonel Trotter does not mince words. He asked me to wear his medals today but I cannot. He instructed me in very unparliamentary language as to where I should place them should the government continue to be unresponsive.
Surely there is a more dignified resolution.

Mr. Speaker, today many of my constituents and others across Canada will be celebrating Portugal Day.
The Portuguese presence in Canada extends back 500 years when they braved the Atlantic to reach our shores. Portuguese sailors fishing off the Grand Banks helped lay the foundations of the cod fishery in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Waterloo region has the highest percentage of Portuguese in Canada, with my riding of Cambridge being home to over 20,000 Portuguese Canadians. Portuguese Canadians have helped to build our great nation. Today they are contributing to every occupation and profession. Their contributions to Canada and my riding of Cambridge are immense.
As they reflect with pride on their heritage and their accomplishments, I wish to extend a happy Portugal Day to all Portuguese Canadians. I wish to say Viva Portugal, especially after it won 4-0 against Poland.

Mr. Speaker, today marks the beginning of Philippine Heritage Week in Manitoba. It is a time for all Canadians to reflect on the richness of our multicultural mosaic and to take pride in being the most spectacularly diverse country in the world. Nowhere is this fact more celebrated than in Winnipeg.
This week we commemorate the proud achievements of our Filipino community who number more than 40,000 and contribute in outstanding ways to Manitoba's social, economic and political life. The festivities held in conjunction with the 104th anniversary of Philippine independence convey a message of universal significance that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers.
This week the Filipino community in Manitoba will celebrate and share with the whole community expressions of joy for the freedom and independence of Filipino people everywhere. It is a time for all of us to pay tribute to the nation building efforts of Filipino Canadians and to rededicate ourselves to the priorities of intercultural understanding, mutual respect and universal acceptance of Canada's cultural diversity.

Monique Guay Bloc Laurentides, QC
Mr. Speaker, since the beginning of the year 2002, the Bloc Quebecois has uncovered a whole series of facts that raise doubts about the integrity of certain Liberal ministers.
The departure of Alfonso Gagliano for Denmark was just the tip of the iceberg, which is becoming unbelievably huge.
The Prime Minister and his government set up a sponsorship program with the stated objective of counteracting sovereignists in Quebec. In their despicable mission, they turned to advertising agencies whose close connections with the Liberal Party are a well known fact. Millions of dollars in taxpayers' money were diverted for purely partisan reasons.
The Prime Minister may claim that, by seeing the Canadian flag, Quebecers have become more federalist, but we have our doubts about this. In fact, his comments are just a clumsy attempt to make people forget that friends of the Liberal Party unfairly benefited from public funds.
SnowboardingStatements By Members

Mr. Speaker, last week the International Ski Federation awarded the prestigious World Snowboard Championships to Whistler, B.C. to be held from January 22 to January 30, 2005. This event has never been held outside of Europe and is a real coup for B.C.
The ski federation is a charter member of the Olympics. This recognition of Whistler as a worldclass site may bode well for our 2010 Olympic bid. The slopes used for the snowboard championships are the same ones proposed for the Alpine events in the Olympics. Snowboarding is a sport of youth and continues to increase in popularity. Whistler has long been the number one choice for worldclass snowboarders.
I wish to congratulate the Canadian Snowboard Federation and the Whistler organizing committee. Here is hoping for 2010.

Rex Barnes Progressive Conservative Gander—Grand Falls, NL
Mr. Speaker, the silence of VIA Rail with regard to the spending of public money is deafening. Once again $1 million of the public purse has been spent on advertising and sponsorship, but no one wants to give the public the answers it deserves.
It is time for the crown corporation to be accountable to the public. At issue is what kind of work was performed and why the sponsorship money was funnelled through VIA Rail. Something smells and it is not the pollution in the air. I will be recommending that the chairman of the VIA Rail board and the president and chief executive officer come before the transport committee and answer questions concerning the company's advertising and sponsorship programs.
VIA Rail is owned by the taxpayers of this country and they have a right to know how the money is being spent.

As you might have noticed, I haven't done many desserts lately. I'm trying not to eat them very often! However, last night, despite the heat, I had a craving for a big, chewy cookie with chocolate chunks and whole pecans in it. So I made my recipe for chocolate chip cookies from my book "The Fiber for Life Cookbook" (it contains less fat than most recipes and is made with wholegrain flours), but I made fewer, larger, thicker cookies and I used whole chocolate couvertures (round "buttons" of chocolate for bakers and candy makers-- I used Camino organic, fair trade chocolate couvertures that I got from a wholesale supplier) and whole pecan halves. You could use chunks of your favorite vegan, organic, fair trade chocolate bar instead, or chocolate chips. UPDATE: I can no longer obtain those couvertures, unfortunately.
I baked a small batch of them in my little countertop Cuisinart Brick Oven and it was just what I was craving! I baked the rest of the cookies early this morning, while it was cool.
Printable Recipe
Yield: 16 large cookies
6 tablespoons vegan butter (not whipped)-- try my palm oil-free vegan "Buttah"
3/4 cup light organic granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup water blended for several minutes with
2 tablespoons flaxseeds
(this makes a "gloppy" mixture like eggs-- use a blender)
2 tablespoons non-dairy milk
1/2 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup oat bran
1/2 tablespoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups semisweet or bittersweet dark organic chocolate chunks or chips
1 cup pecan halves
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with cooking parchment. Beat the vegan butter, sugars, flaxseed egg replacer mxture, non-dairy milk, and vanilla in a food processor or with an electric mixer until smooth.
In a medium bowl, mix the Dry Mix ingredients, whisking thoroughly. Add the processed mixture and and the chocolate and pecans, and mix well to make a firm dough. Chill the dough (covered) until firm enough to handle.
Cut the dough into 16 equal pieces, and roll them roughly into balls with damp hands. Place 8 on each cookie sheet, leaving space between. Press them down to about 3/8" or 1/2" thick. Bake 10 minutes, then turn the pans around from front to back (and, if necessary, shift the ones on the lower shelf to the top and vice versa) and bake 10 more minutes.
Remove from pans and cool on racks. Store airtight after cooling thoroughly, and freeze if you aren't using them up within a day or two. Low-fat cookies don't keep as well as the high-fat variety.

Oooooh, I can't wait to try these!
I had a cookie craving last night and fortunately, my 8 year old son too. He had made up a recipe for a CC cookie that he wanted to try and so he did that last night. They were pretty good!
I'll be sure to show him your recipe.
Thanks Bryanna!

Hi Bryanna, these cookies look delicious! I already have several of your wonderful cookbooks, now I will have to purchase Fiber for Life.

When I was a kid, my family took a trip to Washington, D.C., to see the sights. I especially remember the day we sat in the Senate gallery, watching a debate. There, I saw something strange — Teddy Kennedy, a Democrat, and Orrin Hatch, a Republican, sharing a friendly conversation and a laugh together. I later read those two were the best of friends, despite their vast differences on matters of policy.

Equipment used was the 7D, a 100mm USM, a T10-17 and 2xInon strobes
And here are the photos!
Please be honest, any feedback would be much appreciated!

Pure, comedy gold this one .
But on top of the hilarity, I do like how she absolutely knows what she wants to do. Seems like the character who just gets what is important and not just when it comes to herself.
And yeah, cute as hell .

But lately, I'm not so sure...
They're happening a bit too frequently, and with increasingly suspicious timing. A lot of them give romantic competitors the "wrong" idea which I could see Mashiro wanting to give them.
At the moment, it's 50/50 for me on whether she's really this obvious vs. she's insanely clever and a great actress who's very effectively trying to demoralize the romantic opposition.

If Nanami is the one to keep him grounded and sane, Mashiro is really the driving force for Sorata and the one who subtly nudge him forward in the right direction whenever he reaches a roadblock in his life. Everyone thought that it would be Sorata who would influence Mashiro to become a better/normal person, but as it turns out it was Mashiro who is influencing and gently pushing Sorata to be a better person himself, and she does so with small but earnest gestures. She ability to never lose sight of the important things to her and never hesitate to put the concerns of others ahead of her own- as we saw how she was more worried for Nanami rather than the Manga that she had worked day and night for.
Mashiro's downside is pretty obvious; her inability to take care of herself would be a big cause for concern But in a way it also helps highlight another of her good point- While she doesn't care much about taking care of herself, when it comes to helping others she would go the extra mile (literally) for them.
I think one of the major factors that makes both Mashiro and Nanami so likeable is that unlike other romantic interest, both of them actually care about the Protagonist as more than just a love partner- Sure there's still that, but they do it mostly because they want what's best for him, and not so that he would show affections to them. What's more, their entire lives does not rotate around just Sorata- they each have their own dreams to work towards.

In the end, I really think the author of the story was probably going for "eccentric genius" more than any sort of mental/psychological condition, despite the way some elements are sometimes played up.

Despite being autistic as fuck, she's quite a genius. Sure she's eccentric and cause a lot of problems towards her roommates, but there's something that makes her somewhat capable on her own. Her character development was decent enough, and I can't wait to see how much her romantic relationship with Sorata progresses over the course of the story.

Whenever I see the term autism around, I wonder if it's just the usual stupid ignorance that we see when it comes to mental conditions. Really, do people actually know what autism really is, or are they just speaking like a recorder the wrong perception given by various media?
Mashiro is just eccentric, being focused on her work to the point she doesn't really care about anything else. It's as simple as that, not something like autism which is a condition that would certainly not help with art or manga.

I really reject the notion that Mashiro is simply eccentric. No, there are noticeable patterns to her behavior, perception of the world around her, and style of speech, that are highly unusual for a person her age. She definitely has some sort of condition, imo.
Personally, I lean towards Savant syndrome.

I mean, you could legitimately call Haruhi Suzumiya "eccentric", but I would argue that Haruhi has a level of functionality that goes beyond what Mashiro has displayed.
Mashiro has real issues in clearly communicating with other people, and in expressing herself. One way we see this is in the great plethora of misunderstandings that she causes. And there are distinct patterns to her behavior.
Also, about 50% of the people with Savant syndrome are also autistic, and I'd personally say that there's probably a 50% chance that Mashiro is autistic herself. So for that reason and many others, I find it fitting to say that yes, she has Savant syndrome.
Also, and I'm going to be frank here, I take real exception to this implicit idea that Mashiro would somehow be less of a character if she in fact has autism. What's wrong with a female lead in an anime show having autism?
Taken from here:
Significant problems developing nonverbal communication skills, such as eye-to-eye gazing, facial expressions, and body posture. (Mashiro displays very little in the way of facial expressions or body language)
Failure to establish friendships with children the same age. (It doesn't seem like Mashiro had many friends prior to coming to Sakurasou)
Lack of interest in sharing enjoyment, interests, or achievements with other people. (this has changed, but it wasn't always so; even now, Mashiro often gets lost in her own little world)
Lack of empathy. People with autism may have difficulty understanding another person's feelings, such as pain or sorrow. (this is also changing, thankfully, but Mashiro initially tends to have a hard time understanding the feelings of others)
Delay in, or lack of, learning to talk. As many as 40% of people with autism never speak. (Here we'd need to know more about Mashiro's personal background)
Problems taking steps to start a conversation. Also, people with autism have difficulties continuing a conversation after it has begun. (Mashiro does struggle in starting or carrying on conversations)
Stereotyped and repetitive use of language. People with autism often repeat over and over a phrase they have heard previously (echolalia). (Mashiro does show a preference for very simplified and straightforward language)
Difficulty understanding their listener's perspective. For example, a person with autism may not understand that someone is using humor. They may interpret the communication word for word and fail to catch the implied meaning. (We see a lot of this with Mashiro)
An unusual focus on pieces. Younger children with autism often focus on parts of toys, such as the wheels on a car, rather than playing with the entire toy. (This one is a bit iffier, but we do see how Mashiro likes to break down manga to its component parts, and understand key parts of it before moving forward with it)
Preoccupation with certain topics. For example, older children and adults may be fascinated by video games, trading cards, or license plates. (Mashiro definitely has a preoccupation with certain topics)
A need for sameness and routines. For example, a child with autism may always need to eat bread before salad and insist on driving the same route every day to school. (I definitely think that Mashiro displays comfort over routine.)
Stereotyped behaviors. These may include body rocking and hand flapping. (This one doesn't really apply to Mashiro, I'll admit)
Looking over that, I think there's good reason to think that Mashiro is autistic.

Food for thought: Prince Naruhito (and particularly his grandfather, the Showa Tenno) had many of the same problems you just described when growing up. It wasn't because of their having autism, it was because of the kind of upbringing they had, within a closed environment which either had strict rules or was overly served to the point one would not know how to peel a satsuma orange in their bento.
Considering this, we have to think: What kind of childhood did Mashiro have? Could it be that her life was literally only about art (either by her own choice or other's push) and thus she never had the kind of "normal" life consisting of social interactions? If this is so, then one cannot say she has autism symptoms since it isn't that she has an inability, but she never developed those skills which one would have under a normal childhood environment. Autism is fundamentally an inherent problem of impairment of the growth and development of the brain, and I cannot see that Mashiro has a problem in that particular aspect.

I recall reading that Japan doesn't treat people for mental conditions to the same extent that we do in the western world. In fact, I've even read that given as a reason, here on Anime Suki, for why so many psychologically disturbed characters in anime never seek out psychiatric help or get treatment in line with certain mental conditions.
To me, it appears that there are overriding patterns to Mashiro's behavior and speech that she can't fully break out of.
I think that there is perfectly legitimate reason to think that Mashiro is autistic. I see nothing wrong with that, and I continue to think that there's about a 50% chance that she's autistic.

At this point you've basically decided on the diagnosis and retroactively looking for the symptoms. We have a person who had an unusual childhood, and thus we cannot apply the same standards as we would for most other "normal" people.

On the top of a building in the Navy Yard sits a 43,000-square-foot farm run by Brooklyn Grange. Salad greens, rainbow chard, kale, basil, eggplant, cucumbers, sunflowers and ground cherries all grow in the farm.
It is expected to produce 20,000 pounds of produce each year for local restaurants and markets.
"Along with fresh produce and new jobs, the city's largest rooftop garden will absorb more than one million gallons of storm water and help keep our harbors and streams clean," said Bloomberg.
The mayor paused a few times during his visit to take in the rooftop farm. He sampled some of the fresh produce, peered over the edge to the view of lower Manhattan, and even stopped by the chicken coop.
"It's no news that a tree grows in Brooklyn," said Bloomberg, "and now we're ready to harvest cucumbers, eggplant, lettuce and kale."
The farm was funded in part through the Green Infrastructure program, which uses vegetation, soils and other structural elements to manage storm water and improve the quality of the city's surrounding harbors and streams. It's one of the largest projects funded through the program.
The farm utilizes a special soil blended specifically for rooftop use and custom designed by Brooklyn Grange and Skyland USA, which is based on over two years of experience at the farm's flagship location, a rooftop at 37-18 Northern Boulevard in Long Island City.
Ben Flanner, head farmer and president of Brooklyn Grange, said the produce grown at the farm will find its way to city restaurants through farmers markets and to residents through community-supported agriculture programs.
"We're just really excited to launch this farm on this roof and start getting the vegetables out to the community," Flanner said.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 2, 2008) - The Gold squad took game one of the Blue/Gold World Series Wednesday afternoon at Cardinal Park, 3-2.
Bo Burton (Kingsport, Tenn.) threw six scoreless innings for the Gold team as he was able to work himself out of a first inning, bases loaded jam. Burton's seven strikeouts in the win earned him the Player of the Game honor. Freshman Josh Gonzaga (Pembroke Pines, Fla.) also had a good outing for the Blue squad as he only allowed three runs in 5.1 innings and had five strikeouts.
The Gold took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third as Nick Belcher (Abingdon, Va.) doubled down the right field line driving in Jacob Fabry (Chattanooga, Tenn.) from third.
In the bottom of the sixth, Fabry increased the Gold team's lead as he tripled to right center driving in Trey Dunnigan (Boone, N.C.) to make the score 2-0. In the next at bat, Ben Allen (Kingsport, Tenn.) perfectly placed a bunt down the first base line to easily score Fabry from third on the safety squeeze to give the Gold a 3-0 lead.
The Blue team made things interesting in the top of the seventh as Cody Bentley (Pound, Va.) doubled down the right field line to score Paul Hoilman (Johnson City, Tenn.) to cut the lead to 3-1. Later in the inning, Matthew Scruggs (Knoxville, Tenn.) drove in Troy Mendez (Roswell, Ga.) with a sacrifice fly to center to cut the Gold advantage to 3-2, but it wouldn't be enough as Allen made a great scoop and throw with two outs to end the game.
Fabry led the Gold team with two hits and two runs, while Hoilman and Mendez each had two hits for the Blue squad.
Game two of the series is scheduled for Friday at 2:45 p.m. at Cardinal Park. Please visit www.ETSUBucs.com for more information on ETSU baseball or any other Buccaneer athletic team.

Many small businesses contact us every day, looking for advice as they search for a new phone system. Some are new businesses just getting started, while others are looking to replace an old or problematic system. The most common reasons they have are that they're:
IVR designer in Five9 Cloud Contact Center
While there's a long list of reasons, there's an even longer list of systems and features addressing these common challenges. However, we find most small businesses require one or more of these core phone system capabilities:
|The central component of every multi-line phone system, the PBX acts as the switchboard, transferring and routing calls. It's also the component that lets users put callers on hold and have conference calls. It integrates most of the other features listed here.
|Provides commonly used functions that allow many phone extensions to share lines and work together as one system.
|Auto attendant
|An Auto attendant greets inbound calls with basic information such as the the business's name, location and hours, and also lets callers choose how their call will be connected. They often begin something like this: Thank you for calling Software Advice. Please choose from the following menu options...
|Answers and directs inbound calls. Helps small businesses present a larger, more professional image.
|The Interactive Voice Response feature is similar to, but more advanced than, Auto attendant. IVRs allow customers to access account information, schedule and make payments and complete other transactions requiring deeper interaction all without requiring an employee's time.
|Automates many basic call transactions, freeing employees from some repetitive and time-consuming tasks.
|Computer-Telephone Integration is a broad term for a collection of functions offered primarily with VoIP systems. CTI allows customer-specific information from the company's database to be automatically displayed on a computer whenever that customer is on the line.
|Streamlines call processing, saves employees from having to repeatedly look up basic information when customers call.
|Find Me Follow Me is a feature that makes sure important calls get through to the right person, even if the right person isn't at their desk. FMFM lets users program a sequence of alternate numbers, including external and mobile numbers, to dial in case their desk phone rings and is unanswered.
|Ensures important calls are always answered. Valuable in sales-focused industries, where missing a call can mean missing a sale.
|Many VoIP systems include software telephones, or "softphones." These are programs that run on office computers and, when used with a headset, allow calls to be made and received directly from the computer.
|Reduces equipment costs by letting offices purchase fewer desk phones.
|Another feature common to VoIP systems, this is an automated transcription service. When callers leave voicemail, this service transcribes the audio to written text and sends it as an email.
|Saves time listening to voicemail messages.
|Some PBX systems only allow for three-way calling, whereas others offer true conference calling with dedicated dial-in numbers.
|Facilitates internal and external collaboration.
System complexity. Some businesses we speak with tell us they're replacing their existing phone system because it's too complicated and not user-friendly. Buying an overly complex system can be as bad as buying one that has too few features. Apart from paying for features that won't be used, advanced systems can present usability issues.
So before you begin shopping, start with a clear assessment of exactly which functions you need. Don't get caught up in a more-functions-is-necessarily-better mindset when comparing systems. Also, take advantage of the trials and demos offered by some companies to get a firsthand feel for exactly how user-friendly a system is.
VoIP or analog? Telephony technology is split between digital phone systems, which send voice calls over the Internet (Voice over IP, or VoIP), and older analog phone systems, which use traditional phone service. Though VoIP phones can call analog phones and vice versa, and there are hybrid systems that contain components of both, it's best for a business that's looking to start from scratch to choose one or the other. The vast majority of businesses are choosing VoIP.
But VoIP requires a reliable broadband Internet connection. So for businesses that don't have access to broadband, an analog system may be the only option. If you're unclear on how the two systems differ, this Guide to VoIP compares them in easy-to-understand language.
On-premise or hosted PBX? This isn't a choice all businesses will face. Small analog phone systems usually come with a simple hardware PBX that's kept on-site. And medium and large businesses often want the control of an on-site PBX, but they also have the IT budgets needed to maintain them.
Aside from these cases, most businesses should consider using an off-site or "hosted" PBX. It is an option on many small business VoIP systems and offered by many ITSPs. The big benefit with a hosted PBX is it can offer more advanced phone system functions, like auto-attendants and IVRs, without the expense of purchasing and managing an on-site hardware PBX.
Lines and extensions. With an analog phone system you might, for example, pay your telco for two or four lines to allow your business to have that many simultaneous phone calls. For that to work, you'd need a two- or four-line analog business phone system, which are some of the most common analog systems on the market.
With VoIP systems, extensions can be added by simply connecting the office's internal computer network.
Hardware and special-use requirements. Businesses in certain industries or with unique workplace environments will have specific phone system requirements. Identifying which features are needed will help focus the search for the right phone system for your small business.
There are, for example, industry-specific systems for hotels, call centers and hospitals. Though most small businesses will not be looking for specialized industry systems, they often do have special hardware requirements. Some need wireless handsets that can operate outdoors or a long distance away from a base station. Others don't use handsets, but instead require wireless headsets with long battery life. Knowing what's needed before you begin will make the selection process easier.

(CNN) -- She arrived on a suspicious flight. Her story didn't sound right. And then there was the blood ... under her breasts.
An airport security check in Spain led to an operating table for a passenger -- where, authorities said, they found she had tucked packs of cocaine in her breast implants.
The Panamanian citizen landed at Barcelona's Prat airport on a so-called "hot flight," one that came from a destination known for drug trafficking -- in this case Bogota, Colombia.
Ninety percent of cocaine trafficked into the United States, for example, comes from Colombia, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
The passenger came under the scrutiny of security agents, who weren't satisfied with the vague answers she kept giving about why she was in town, Spain's interior ministry said.
Her behavior aroused the suspicion of officers that she might be carrying drugs either in her luggage or on her.
When a female officer patted down the woman, she found bloodied bandage material under the passenger's breasts. The gauze, the officer found, was covering incisions. And the breasts were hiding "a white foreign material."
Fresh breast implants, the suspect mustered an explanation. Must not have healed up right.
The story didn't convince police, who hauled her off to a hospital.
"There, a medical team extracted a bag-shaped prosthesis from each breast containing a white pasty substance," the ministry said.
Cocaine. Nearly 1.4 kilograms (3 lbs) of it.
Pure cocaine goes for about $35,000 a pound, according to the DEA.
The expensive implants landed her in jail.
CNN's Helena DeMoura contributed to this report.

HANOVER — If the state's gradual removal of county authority were happening in the colonial era, county commissioner candidate Daniel A. Pallotta said he would be throwing tea in the harbor.
HANOVER — If the state's gradual removal of county authority were happening in the colonial era, county commissioner candidate Daniel A. Pallotta said he would be throwing tea in the harbor.
"There was a time when dogs were registered through the county," said Pallotta, a Republican from Hanover. "Slowly, the state has come in and taken over the functions of the county. ... It's time to do the reverse."
Pallotta is vying with Democrat Greg Hanley and independent Maryanne Lewis for one of the two open seats on the Plymouth County Board of Commissioners on a platform that revolves around increasing the county's power relative to the state.
However, asked what his plan to strengthen county government looks like, Pallotta said he has none.
The two candidates with the highest vote totals will fill open seats, meaning voters can vote for their top two choices come November.
Remaining county responsibilities such as courts and registry of deeds continue to be under threat of state takeover. Voter apathy toward county governments and a number of county commissioners who believe the county provides redundant services also contribute to the decline of county importance, Pallotta said.
"I call it the bastard child of government," he said. "But we can do these things cheaper than the state."
The state also tends to leave behind serious health and pension liabilities for the county to pay for when it consumes a county asset, such as in 2010, when the Plymouth County House of Correction became a state facility, he said.
Pallotta's platform could be a tough sell for a number of reasons, said Shannon Jenkins, a UMass Dartmouth political science professor.
"I'm not sure voters are clamoring for more county government," she said. "Counties have never played the same role in Massachusetts as they have in other states."
Massachusetts, unlike states such as Nevada or Colorado, has no unincorporated areas in which county governments provide regional services.
There is also no real mechanism for the county to make itself more powerful, Jenkins said.
Pallotta, despite lacking a specific plan, said state and county officials need to have a frank discussion of where each other's responsibilities lay.
Pallotta said he decided to run for the four-year term, which pays $7,500 a year, because he has watched the county decline in relevance since he got involved with local government in 1994. He has served on the Hanover Planning Board, Zoning Board and Board of Selectmen and the Plymouth County Charter Board of Expenditures, among others.
He is the owner of P-3, Inc., a construction management firm with eight employees.
"It's a tough seat; there's not much pay," Pallotta said. "But (if something isn't done) they'll come after the registries next."
Lewis has not responded to requests for comment; three phone calls to a number listed for her were not returned.

Unless you've played ostrich, you know the lessons of the presidential election. Republicans must give up their principles and be more like Democrats, or they'll go extinct.
Media sages insist the GOP must learn to love tax increases and the job of being the tax collectors for the welfare state. They must become pro-choice and "get over this obsession with life," as one so-called conservative put it. The religious beliefs of Evangelicals, Catholics and others must be tossed overboard if the party wants to attract those single women who are married to the Democratic Party for birth control and abortion.
The list of Republican fatal flaws goes on, never mind that Mitt Romney fell only about 360,000 votes short in the four swing states of Florida, Ohio, Virginia and New Hampshire combined.
Had he won their 64 electoral votes, we'd be hailing him as brilliant, and dissecting the downfall of Barack Obama. But, in politics and football, winning is everything, so the demolition derby of the GOP is inevitable.
But the expiration date has arrived, so let's move on to an alternative question: How long can the business model of the Democratic Party last?
The short answer is, not very. Dems are doomed by their success at creating ever bigger government with ever more handouts and entitlements. All the giving can't go on and the Obama binge has created a crisis.
Deficits exceeded $1 trillion in each year of his first term, and his combined debt is a staggering $5 trillion. It brings the nation's total to $16 trillion, and the possibility of default already has caused one rating downgrade.
And there is no end to the spending spree. Obama's last budget, although chock full of rosy scenarios, still projected the debt would grow by $6.7 trillion over 10 years.
Thus, if all goes as planned, he will leave office with a national debt of $20 trillion, and a debt-to-GDP ratio far above 100 percent.
That's Greece. It is an unsustainable governing model, so we should be asking not just about the demographic destiny of the GOP, but also how soon Dems will be condemned by the fiscal facts.
Clearly, they don't want to face the numbers. The president has a fetish for hiking taxes on high earners, saying he didn't care whether they would produce more revenue because "fairness" was more important.
He wasn't kidding, as his continuing campaign proves. He declared Monday that Republicans would ruin Christmas for millions of families if they didn't agree with his tax plan, proving again that re-election didn't soften his "my way or the highway" attitude.
Equally revealing, congressional Dems tell The New York Times they refuse to make major changes to Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare, even though those programs are driving the debt and deficit.
Yet liberal senators, including Tom Harkin of Iowa and Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, urged Obama to reject changes that "would cut benefits, shift costs to states, alter the structure" of the programs or pare them for deficit reduction.
That stance perfectly captures the party's contribution to gridlock. Even as Republicans agree to increased revenues through reducing deductions in the tax code, Dems reject any changes to entitlements. So, who is really playing chicken at the fiscal cliff?
That so much attention is focused on whether Republicans will agree to tax hikes reveals mainstream media bias and Obama's efforts to distract attention from the frightening dimensions of his fiscal folly.
Even if he gets his tax hikes, he would collect at most $90 billion a year, and that assumes growth would not be affected. What spending cuts is he prepared to demand from his party as part of a deficit-reduction deal?
So far, the answer is zero, a number that corresponds to the chances that Dems will govern responsibly.
No readin' or rightin' crazy HS grades
They're the bad pennies of city schools. High-school report cards are back, and once again rely on a formula that only a gimlet-eyed educrat can decipher.
The one clear thing is that the Department of Education sees a Lake Wobegon system, where all the children, or at least their schools, are above average. Of 420 high schools, 142 rated an "A," 159 a "B," 88 a "C", 21 a "D" and only 10 got an "F."
Grade inflation lives thanks to extra credit for schools helping "at-risk" students, although fewer than one in five overall are ready for a career or college after four years at most schools. Some ratings are based on "results" that later come into question.
For the class of 2011, the Academy for Social Action in Harlem reported a graduation rate of 86.5 percent, but only 36.5 percent for the class of 2012. Something's fishy.
There are mysteries baked into the standards. It Takes A Village Academy in Brooklyn got an "A" and scored 98.7 out of 100, the highest point total of all, even though a mere 12 percent of grads were ready for college. The points make the school seem better than Stuyvesant or Bronx Science, which is a joke.
Chief Academic Officer Shael Polakow-Suransky defended the school's "A" by telling The Post that college readiness was a small part of the formula, at only 10 percent.
However, another publication quoted him making the opposite point to defend higher grades: "Three years ago, none of us were talking about college readiness. Now it's one of the biggest goals we've set for our schools."
Give him an "A" — for double talk!
Need true pedi cure
The City Council is not totally asleep — just mostly. Months after The Post reported that a pedicab driver ripped off a tourist family to the tune of $442.54 for a 12-minute ride, the council comes pedaling to the rescue. Or not.
A new law would still let drivers set their own prices, but would require them to post rates and hand passengers a rate card before the ride begins. Try enforcing that.
Here's a better idea: Banish the damn things altogether, or at least confine them to parks. On Midtown streets, the pedi-pests are a menace to passengers, pedestrians and vehicles as the drivers recklessly weave in and out of traffic, go through red lights and create a sense of chaos.
The real problem isn't the price tourists pay. It's the price New Yorkers pay when their streets become a tangle of third-world congestion and confusion. That's what should keep the council awake.
Porn to be wild
A study in the Journal of Sex Research, probably paid for with tax dollars, finds that 177 porn actresses "had more sexual partners" than women not in pornography.
Thank God for studies.
The crucifix is in
A painting that features President Obama posed as Jesus Christ crucified is on display in Boston, but the artist insists his work is a metaphor, not blasphemy.
"My intent was not to compare him to Jesus," Michael D'Antuono told Fox News.
Not to worry. Only artists who mock Islam go to jail in America.

short article - advice needed!
After a somewhat unusual sequence of events, I have been asked by the head editor at the journal American Family Physician to write a brief (250 words or less) synopsis of my experience with pregnant marathon running. This has not been easy to summarize in 250 words! But since I have this blog, I have the luxury of showing it to some people who know a thing or two about this subject. I would be so grateful for feedback. Being harsh is preferable to pretending you like it when you don't. Thank you.
It wasn't like me to be so winded going uphill or have to stop to walk as I neared the marathon finish line. It was a relief (and a thrill) when the pregnancy test came back positive.
This was the first of six marathons I would run during my pregnancy. I had no chance of beating Ingrid Christiansen's pregnant marathon record of 2:33, set when three months pregnant in 1982. I ran mine at a comfortable pace, with friends by my side, in times of 4:34, 4:19, 4:18 and 4:56 between 10 and 27 weeks of pregnancy.
When I was 30 weeks pregnant, my midwife agreed I could run The Copenhagen Marathon. Spectators screamed from street corners and hung out of windows to catch a glimpse of my belly. Around mile 16, I started getting Braxton Hicks contractions, though they eventually became less pronounced and I made it across the finish line in 4:54.
My recovery from that marathon was long, but I was glowing for weeks. I was overwhelmed by the positive feedback I received, including that of multiple women who had already run or went on to run their own pregnant marathons. I felt I had played a small part in a movement empowering women to continue running, even long distances, while pregnant.
After 39 weeks, our beautiful, little son was born. And even today, I can't help looking at him and thinking, "you were there with me, all of those wonderful miles."

I would throw in your marathon PR so there is a point of reference for your finish times. It would be different if someone who always runs a 4:30 decided to try to run a 4:30 while hugely preggo.
- 22 May 2012 at 22:12
- Jacqueline said...
I agree with Danni. I would also mention your many years of running, and how this wasn't something new or unusual for you. Deciding to train for a marathon might not be wise for a nonrunner who is pregnant, but it really was just you being your normal self. And isn't that always the advice: Do what you normally do? :-)

I'm not pretending to like it, I think it's great. :) And I love that your story will be out there for others to read and be inspired by.

Danni and Jacqueline - I think that is a good point. I had hoped there would be a really brief bio of me accompanying this. I will have to ask the editor if that will be the case. Otherwise I'll have to sneak in something like that.
Thanks, Julie! It is also good to know that at least one person thinks it is good enough to submit. :)

Clearly, I do not know anything about the subject but I think that also women who are thinking about having children and continuing being active read the publication. And it is important that the article leaves them feeling good and comfortable that doing so is not anything bad and it won't hurt them or the baby. And this was achieved, lot of positivity, I like that very much!
And now let's move to the constructive criticism:)))I do not see any point in putting the reference to pregnant marathon record. I would rather put your record instead. Comparing your pre-pregnancy time and pregnancy times would make much more sense and make for a better flow. You can use only 250 words, so I would not waste them on referencing something (for me) irrelevant. It seems it is there just so you can use a big name.
Also, I got little confused when you talked about 6 marathons and then put only 4 finishi times in the second paragraph. You mentioned 1st marathon in the first and second paragraph and then the 6th one in the next paragraph. I know that you put time frame there (10-27 weeks) and then the time for the 6th one in the next paragraph but it is still slightly confusing. I would put all 6 finishing times together in that second paragraph, instead of only 4, and then of course leave out the time of the 6th in the third paragraph. So the reader does not have to count and go back and forth.
And then leave the rest at it is because I like it a lot:)

How about a few words on the training for a marthon while pregnant?

I agree with mmmonyka about listing the times. And I agree that listing your PR makes more sense than the reference to ingrid Christiansen.
The second sentence absolutely confuses me. Are you saying you didn't know you were pregnant when you ran that marathon, and you were relieved to learn it was the pregnancy that made you so slow? (I feel bad that I can't remember if that is the case, because I do read your blog, but it's a detail I just can't recall.)
Lovely, little description of your experience. 250 words is so little, and you've packed a great story into such a small space.

I would change the opening sentence to something like "Heading into mile 20 of my Nth marathon, I couldn't understand why I was so winded. I'd never had to stop and walk in a marathon before. The answer a few days later -- a positive pregnancy test! -- was both a relief and a thrill."
This does two things: first, it puts in context that you're an experienced marathoner; second it explains the situation a little more clearly.
Your audience will largely not be marathon-literate. If you can work in what a "typical" marathon time is (or a "fast" time, like the BQ standard), that would help put your times in context. You could save space by giving a range of your finish times, rather than all of them.
Love the last sentence.

I can't make suggestions, not because I have no experience with the subject (ignorance has never been a barrier for me!), but because I don't know the journal, so I don't know what they want or expect.

Mmmonyka. Thank you so much for your ideas! I just have to say that the Ingrid Christiansen thing accomplishes many things in my mind: pregnant marathoning has been done before and a long time ago and in a very fast time! Kind of puts things in a good perspective in my mind.
Robyn, I like your suggestion for the first line, but then I'm quite a bit above the word limit, especially if I need to squeak my PR in there - plus I have no clue what number marathon that was and don't know how I would figure out. Plus at that point I'd run more ultras than marathons, so it is hard for me to just throw out a number there.
I'm taking all of this into consideration.
Steve Q, here are some examples of what they want:

- SteveQ said...
I'm going to keep my comments to myself, as I'm a little mad at all physicians at the moment, except to agree with the others that the Christiansen comment makes it sound like you're in her league and considered going for her record.
- 27 May 2012 at 20:38
- sea legs girl said...
Thanks, Steve! I made the decision a few days ago to take the sentence out and have now submitted the little article.
I think it is a lot better thanks to everyone's feedback - thank you so much to the readers who took the time to help!

The International World Wide Web Conference 2010 has a new logo! The Oak Leaf isn't covering anything up that I know of; it's representing the City of Oaks, Raleigh, where the conference will be held next April. See the latest WWW2010 news here.
Our plans for doing a completely revised and revisioned presentation/participation of 18 Happenings in 6 Parts or 18Hn6Pz , an homage to Allan Kaprow (and to the folks of Black Mountain College in the 1950s), has moved up another level. We've been invited to apply for a support grant by the end of this month. We'll also moving from research and ideation stages into taking care of some serious advance work including a tentative budget. The event will take place in February 2010 as part of the Carolina Humanities, Art and Technology Festival (CHAT).
On a personal note, I was delighted to have been able to track down Whitney Jones, who when he was in Laurinburg at St Andrews College in the 1970s put on a Black Mountain College festival. I was able to meet artists and writers and see performances and talks by Buckminster Fuller, John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Jonathan Williams, Fielding Dawson, Robert Rauschenberg and see works by the Albers – Annie and Joseph. Whitney great work has been a big influence on my views of art and on participatory culture and the avant garde.
Research links for Kaprow and 16 Happenings are on my Delicious account here.
Carl Malamud continues his campaign for Public Printer of the United States by adding impressive people to his Committee to Reboot .Gov . Like the work of the Happenings and from Black Mountain, Carl can seem disarmingly casual and funny, but he has a very serious cause — freeing the information that we need to better understand our government and to keep it accountable.
