Summer's TBR Lists, V
Thank goodness for summer and its lazy, hazy days of being carried away by a book. Reaching out to discover what our authors/friends would be reading, The Divining Wand asked them:
What's on your summer "must/want to read" list?
And, in this final wrap-up post, the following writers replied:
~Elise Allen (Populazzi YA coming August 1, 2011):
"The next book I can't wait to get my hands on is Allen Zadoff's My Life, The Theater, and Other Tragedies. I recently finished his Food, Girls, and Other Things I Can't Have, and I adored it. He also has a memoir coming out called "Hungry" that I'm… well… hungry to read.
"Big picture though, I have to admit that the book looming over my future doesn't come out until October: Rick Riordan's Son of Neptune. My daughter and I devoured every book in the Percy Jackson series so far (and let's be honest, the "new" series is not a new series — it's a wonderful continuation of the same series), and we've been counting down the months until the next installment. Four more months to go!!!!"
~Robin Antalek (The Summer We Fell Apart):
"Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake and Year of the Flood, some books by Sue Miller, whom I've never read, The Local News by Miriam Gershow, Pictures of You by Caroline Leavitt, The Invisible Bridge by Julie Orringer."
~Tawna Fenske (Making Waves coming August 2, 2011):
"My reading tastes vary widely, but there's something about summertime that makes me want to read something fun, frothy, and sexy. The book club I've belonged to for 10+ years even makes a special effort to read at least one "summer smut" offering during the warm months. I adore author Victoria Dahl's sexy, funny contemporary romances and look forward to her string of new releases starting in September. I'm also looking forward to attending Romance Writers of America (RWA) Nationals in June/July so I can scope out all the upcoming releases!"
~Randy Susan Meyers (The Murderer's Daughters):
"The moment I can I plan to read Meg Wolitzer's new book: THE UNCOUPLING. Also, on my catch-up list is CLEOPATRA by Stacy Schiff, MALCOLM X: A LIFE OF REINVENTION by Manning Marable, FAITH: A NOVEL, by Jennifer Haighand SO MUCH FOR THAT by Lionel Shriver. Hmm…I better get some beach books in here."
~Ivy Pochoda (The Art of Disappearing):
"Hmmm….so very much.
Barry Hannah's "Long, Last, Happy"
TC Boyle's "When the Killing's Done"
I also want to read "The Pale King" this summer by David Foster Wallace
And I'm also planning to reread the four Sherlock Holmes novellas."
~Allison Winn Scotch (The One That I Want, Time of My Life, and The Department of Lost and Found):
"I have so many books that I'm looking forward to – Elin Hilderbrand's Silver Girl, Laura Dave's The First Husband, Courtney Sullivan's Maine, Gwendolen Gross's The Orphan Sister, Meg Mitchell Moore's The Arrivals…it feels like there's an amazing wealth of smart writing for women these days, and it's all culminating this summer. There's also Diana Spechler's Skinny, which I read an advance copy of, and truly adored."
~Melissa Senate (The Love Goddess' Cooking School, The Mosts YA, The Secret of Joy, the rest in Bibliography):
"SO many. My little "'check out this book'" notebook is full of great sounding books that I can't wait to laze around with this summer. One in particular: A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness."
~Leah Stewart (Husband and Wife, The Myth of You and Me, Body of a Girl):
"Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake and Year of the Flood, some books by Sue Miller, whom I've never read, The Local News by Miriam Gershow, Pictures of You by Caroline Leavitt, The Invisible Bridge by Julie Orringer."
~Wendy Tokunaga (Midori By Moonlight, Love in Translatio , and ebook, Marriage in Translation: Foreign Wife, Japanese Husband [Kindle Edition]):
"I'm looking forward to reading "Bossypants" by Tina Fey who I think is one of the sharpest writers around these days. Also "French Lessons" a new novel from Ellen Sussman that I think comes out this July."

I have plans to leave my 15 month old son with my husband for 3 days while attending my brother's wedding. He falls asleep in his crib but has been waking around 11:30, at which point I usually bring him to bed and nurse him. He then nurses at least 1-2 more times at night. He used to sleep much better months ago but seems to be up a lot any more. We did a trial today and I stayed away so that my husband could be with him all day. It didn't go well... he didn't take his second nap (which led to him falling asleep face first in his food) and he has been waking up a lot and crying and asking for "dat" aka boob.
I think I should probably just skip the trip and loose the money that I spent for peace of mind and so that my LO and my husband don't have to go through the torture. Am I just being silly? I know lots of other moms have done this with success... but I just feel like that i am making a bad decision.
Any thoughts?

The blood is always there when they chara nari.
History/Biography: Bliss wasn't always like this.... Her mother was the one who caused her life to take twist. "Joker." She would call her. It was at the age of seven that she ran away from home, leaving everything she loved. Her friends, her only family she ever had.... She left everything, accept the necklace she had gotten that day. It was the only she had left to remind her of where she came from. She never takes it off, refusing to even if it is required. She hardly cares about any one. She won't talk to you, unless you catch her eye. Sometimes she will, just to see what would happen. She can't remember anything about her past except the fact that she would never want to see her family again, and how she got the necklace. The one thing she wishes she had forgotten, is all the blood that was filled in her house. Her eyes chnage color, depending on her anger. Gray being the lowest, meaning she's annoyed. Black meaning that shes pissed. White meaning she would love to spill some of your blood.

Like so many people—most, I would argue—I don't so much listen to the presidential debates as watch them. As the words drone on in the background, I watch how they stand, where they look, what they emphasize. You've already read Bob Moser's and Robert Kuttner's detailed critiques of the President's debate performance, and you don't need my echo. But what I saw last night—whether accurately or not—was this: An exhausted President Obama isn't completely sure he still wants the job.
I'm not saying that is true; I am saying that that's how he looked. Sure, he might have been preoccupied with the fact that, yesterday, Turkey made a preliminary foray into war with Syria—the man does have a demanding day job—but my fellow spectators on Twitter were crazed as Obama failed to make the case for his continued presidency. Someone tweeted, "Does Canada make you self-deport? Asking for a friend." Others urged Team Obama to send Bill Clinton in as his designated hitter for the next two debates, instead of just name-checking him. (Weirdly, Clinton has become the new Reagan, stand-in for our imagined ideal past.) Chris Matthews' reaction may have been, characteristically, over the top—someone watching MSNBC tweeted that perhaps he and the more quietly despairing Ed Schultz shouldn't be allowed to go home alone—but Romney did indeed look like the man who wanted the job. Thank God for the Prospect's Jamelle Bouie, who repeatedly talked everyone off the ledge, reminding us again and again that debates do not change the race. And thank God for the fact that the entire thing was so painfully insider and wonky—from Jim Lehrer's face to the fact that questions and answers included unexplained references to things the ordinary viewer won't be familiar with, like "Simpson-Bowles" and "Dodd-Frank"—that most people probably tuned out. My wife was fed up with it in two minutes, and went off to the bedroom where she could, instead, watch her beloved Red Sox get pummeled by the Team That Must Not Be Named in the final game of their miserable season.
But here's my gripe: How was it possible to hold a major "domestic policy" debate—and never once bump into a single social issue? I know Jim Lehrer got completely steamrolled, losing control of the debate early on. (Someone needs to revoke his moderator license: never again, please!) But the direction of his questions—jobs, taxes, social security, health care, the stimulus, the deficit—was just as insider as the lingo. He only popped the "Big Men" questions, the ones officially approved for Serious Discussion. What happened to, say, equal pay, the legality of contraception, immigration, the Defense of Marriage Act, or climate change? Nor did President Obama, doing his best sleep-talking imitation, manage to mention any those issues, even when they were relevant. He could have, oh, noted that Obamacare makes it illegal for insurance companies to treat being female as a preexisting condition (i.e., making women of child-bearing age pay more in their health insurance premiums). Or that his administration believes it's unfair that same-sex couples pay taxes on our health insurance because the federal government is pretending we're not married. Or that a fossil-fuel-only energy policy meant that American farmers were this year devastated by a climate change-induced drought.
I was at the Warren/Brown debate in Lowell this Monday night, held, appropriately enough, at a hockey arena (electoral politics = blood sport). While David Gregory was an utterly obnoxious moderator who over-dominated the discussion and let Brown seize control and mansplain all over Warren, he did manage to ask questions about, say, the Supreme Court—a domestic policy issue if there ever was one.
Yes, we have a few more debates to go, and surely someone (please) will find a way to talk about our messy human lives in ways that sound human. Candy Crowley, we are counting on you.

This month Case IH shipped out the first in a lineup of new high-horsepower tractors that meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Tier 4a emissions regulations, which take effect January 1. Models shipped include the new Magnum 180, 190, 210, and 225. The company has presold more than 750 Magnum tractors, which range in price from about $175,000 to $250,000. Orders for big diesel tractors have tripled from a year ago, Case says.
This clean air standard applies to all diesel-powered farm vehicles rated 174 hp and above and calls for a 90% reduction of two pollutants: nitrogen oxides and particulate matter or "soot."
To meet these levels Case IH is employing Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology, which treats emissions after they leave the engine with a stable, non-toxic mixture of urea and water called Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). The DEF tank is filled during refueling and is priced about the same as diesel fuel and used at a rate of 3 to 5 percent of diesel fuel.
Case IH claims the operating cost of its new SCR tractors is 10 percent lower than previous Case IH models as a result of better fuel economy and fewer required oil changes.
Paul Fortkamp of Fort Recovery, OH, was the first customer to take possession of a Case IH tractor equipped with SCR. Fortcamp said he bought the tractor, a 182-hp Magnum 180, because of its fuel efficiency and size, which, he says, "is narrow enough for my rows but big enough for a grain cart."
Case IH says larger Magnum models and a new generation of Steiger 4WD tractors will be rolled out next to meet the January deadline.

I have a slight obsession with license plates and I'm not really sure why. But I want one of these in the worst way (well not enough to pay thousand of dollars for one)
For awhile I was collecting license plates to make one of these but I lost interest when I realized I would have to start paying more then a couple dollars per plate. Many of the ones I found online cost $10-$20 and when you are trying to make a map of the US that adds up pretty quickly.
Of course it would also be neat to do this-
But I won't be able to find those plates so that's out… I have enough plates for this
but we live in an apartment so maybe I'll make one of these
There is even a tutorial here 🙂
But what I've really alway wanted was a purse like one of these!
And if I really wanted to go overboard I could do something like this-
and a close up

A win for Vancouver, in this game was for most people, going to be a somewhat easy affair. Although the Canucks won in overtime Edmonton made sure that Vancouver would have to earn it the hard way. The Oilers were certainly the most dominant of the two teams in the first and second periods, especially when playing five on five. Sam Gagner was the first skater to get points on the board.
The Oilers started the middle frame with their second goal just two minutes into the period. Marc Pouliot won the battle for the puck that saw the teams deep in the Canucks offensive zone; Pouliot passed the puck back to Souray who fired the puck past an unsuspecting Luongo. The Oilers were by far the better team in the period. If it hadn't been for Luongo's skill and determination, players like O'Sullivan and Gagner could have extended the Oilers lead.
During the final period Vancouver took more control of the game but failed to equalize until late in the third when they were on a four on three power play advantage. With help from the twins, Sami Salo skated from the point and blasted the puck past Dubnyk taking the game to overtime.
From the start of the extra frame the Oilers once again found themselves killing a three on four penalty. The Canucks quickly took advantage of that fact and sealed the win when Henrik Sedin made an excellent pass to his brother Daniel who was open in front of the Edmonton goal, the Canucks sniper tapped the puck into the net for the 3-2 win.
Vancouver's next opponent will be the Dallas Stars who are currently sat in tenth place with forty-nine points. The Stars have won each of their last two games. The Most recent win came against the Wild on Monday where the Stars won 3-4 at home. If Vancouver is victorious against the Stars they will narrow the gap between them and Colorado. Vancouver has sixty points the Avalanche have sixty-two.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) expects to award projects worth Rs 1 lakh crore for constructing about 6,500 km of highways in the current FY2017.
National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) Chairman Raghav Chandra has reportedly said that the authority has requisite funds for arbitration payment, and will be making payments for arbitral awards and likewise all other organisations for their respective place. However, NHAI has not received the formal detailing from the contractors who have these arbitral awards in their favour, who will need to submit bank guarantees and other such papers; and once these come in, the authority will bring it on a case-by-case basis.
Further, for next year, NHAI is already ensuring that it has enough DPRs ready. There is a lot of work to be done but increasingly these projects are more complex and they require more of complex detailing before could be bid out, the chairman reportedly said. Moreover, NHAI has already awarded about 18 or 19 projects through hybrid annuity model in this fiscal, and it intends to bring more. The authority has also chalked out a pilot project to end daily traffic snarls on the Delhi-Gurgaon National highway with use of latest digital technologies, including Intelligent Traffic Management system (ITMS), surveillance cameras and other digital devices.

Walgreen (NYSE:WAG) revealed mixed first-quarter results on Friday as higher promotional spending and a decline in generic drug entrants weighed on margins.
Continue Reading Below
The No. 1 U.S. pharmacy operator reported net income of $695 million, or 72 cents a share, compared with a year-earlier profit of $413 million, or 43 cents.
Earnings per share matched average analyst estimates in a Thomson Reuters poll, but gross profit margin fell just over a point to 28.1% of sales as fewer generic drugs, which tend to be more profitable than blockbuster drugs, entered the market and the company spent more on ads.
Revenue for the three months ended Nov. 30 grew to a record $18.33 billion from $17.32 billion previously, led by a 2.4% increase in same-store sales, however the results fell below the Street's view of $18.4 billion.
"Given the continued soft economy, we were generally satisfied with our top-line growth where we increased both traffic and sales for the quarter as well as our pharmacy market share," Walgreen CEO Greg Wasson said in a statement.
Deerfield, Ill.-based Walgreen, whose smaller rivals CVS (NYSE:CVS) and Rite Aid (NYSE:RAD) reported mixed earnings earlier this week, said Alliance Boots contributed 14 cents a share to adjusted earnings with synergies amounting to $107 million.
As the retailer prepares to buy the remaining equity interest in Alliance Boots, it says it is "assessing various steps" to optimize its assets and expenses in an effort to continue growing profit dollars faster than costs as it did in the first quarter.
Among those plans is opening more stores, launching new Alliance Boots brands, implementing a 10-year agreement with AmerisourceBergen for pharmaceutical distribution and opening what the company believes will be the nation's first net zero energy retail store, meaning it will produce energy equal to or greater than it consumes.
Shares of Walgreen slumped about 2.5% to $55.50 in early trade.

Hi all,
The GF is having surgery on her shoulder tomorrow and then has a month or so to recover before starting work. We usually do Baja this time of year but were there in October so we are looking at other options. She just wants someplace warm and tropical that has at least a little to do (read more to do than La Vantana). I just want to kite every day in some warm waves.
I'm thinking Cabrete but having never been to the Caribbean, I'm open to suggestions. This won't be an exploratory trip or a guys getaway to somewhere off the grid. Just a nice vacation in a hotel.
Looks like I can get airfare to DR for about $1k for the two of us on Jet Blue. I'm open to suggestions on locations, hotels, condo rentals, or whatever.
thanks all....

Leo loves Nolan
While everyone else was at the SAGs on Sunday, Leonardo DiCaprio was at the Santa Barbara Film Festival saluting Christopher Nolan who received the Modern Master Award. Nolan gets no love from the Academy. Perhaps because his movies make so much money? Steven Spielberg had that problem too. The BAFTAs however are well in his favour. And Inception will have a presence there on February 13th.
Nolan meanwhile is expected to start shooting The Dark Knight Rises (I hate this title) in May. He's also producing the upcoming Superman with its newly confirmed star Henry Cavill. While Nolan will not be involved in the everyday workings of that production, leaving that to director Zack Snyder, he did tell Hitfix.com that:
"I think Henry is going to be amazing."
Sarah noted yesterday that she was bored by the choice. While the vast majority of you vehemently disagree with her position that Daniel Radcliffe would have been more interesting, the point is that the CHARACTER isn't interesting. And casting someone handsome, fit, strapping, and dimpled isn't indicative of a new direction in interesting for a hero that, frankly, isn't quite as compelling as some of the dark moody ones who've emerged as popular figures in recent memory. What's the wisdom in resurrecting a man with no demons? Sure, they could give him some new ones, yeah. But when you're starting off already with someone so lame, by today's modern standards of hipness, it's a long leap.
The argument could be made though that there's something to be said of Nolan's reputation. And this is true in the sense that if he's attaching his name to a project, the project might not suck. Having said that, Nolan, arguably the leading craftsman right now, decided not to direct it himself. Scheduling? Or lack of inspiration? Here's a guy who gets off on the creativity. If it was really that creative, I'm pretty sure no one would complain if he took the reins himself. That's a clue too.
But I do like Henry Cavill. A lot. And I hope the film is good. I'm happy to eat it, very, very happy to eat it, if his Superman is good.
As for Leo – well, Baz Luhrmann is still taking his sweet time deciding whether or not he'll actually go ahead with The Great Gatsby remake… in 3D. He's expected to announce a decision this week. (Source) If they go ahead, apparently they'll shoot this summer.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -Igor Kopylov captured first place in the sabre standings this past weekend at The Big One hosted by Smith College. The sophomore improved upon his second-place finish last year and became the first member of the sabre squad to take the top spot since Brian Bower in the 1998-99 season.
Namit Setia placed eighth in sabre action while Raymond Wu finished in 16th place. Nurzhas Makishev (36th), Matt Farrell (48th), and Daniel Whalen (55th) rounded out Tech's sabre representatives.
MIT netted a pair of top-10 finishes in the epee pool as Gabriel Chan claimed seventh place and Lukas Schmitt took ninth. Matt Gethers earned a 12th-place ranking as Trevor Chang finished 24th. Jeremy Hurwitz (25th) and Javier Ordonez (35th) recorded the final rankings for the Engineers.
The members of the foil team finished closely together, with Spencer Sugimoto leading the way at 12th. Jason Chen took 16th as Benjamin Switala came in right behind him. Sebastian Castro captured 25th place, followed by Michael Yee (26th), and Jason Chan (36th).

O Radiant Dawn, splendor of eternal light, sun of justice: Come, shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.
The name "Creator of Light" has always been one of my favorite names for God. I remember first reading and loving a children's book titled, In God's Name by Sandy Eisenberg Sasso and illustrated by Phoebe Stone, a few years ago that presents a number of children and adults and talks about the various ways each person, given his or her cultural, work, and familial histories, named God. The book begins:
After God created the world
all living things on earth
were given a name.
The plants and the trees,
the animals and the fish
and each person,
young and old,
had a special name.
But no one knew
the name for God.
So each person searched
for God's name.
With beautiful and bright illustrations, the book continues with a short glance into the worlds of different people who, as it would happen, name God based on his or her context and location. The first example is:
The farmer
whose skin was dark
like the rich brown earth
from which all things grew
called God
Source of Life.
Another example later on shows a soldier sitting under a tree and embracing a saddened lion while surrounded by Poppies. The soldier is crying.
The tired soldier who fought too many wars
called God
Maker of Peace.
I really love this book, for it helps identify an existential truth of our historical situation, something that so many religious leaders and believers choose not to accept: our names for God are at one-and-the-same-time helpful and true, while also inadequate and human. Yes, as it is sometimes argued, we have revealed names for God — the Bible is full of them. Nevertheless, the God of our ancestors, the God of Jesus Christ is also far beyond any of the human language in which the Scriptures is cast and by which we express our faith.
My favorite name for God in this book, is Creator of Light, which is given by "the girl whose skin was as golden as the sun that turned night into day." One does not need to have skin the color of the sun — everybody knows that my Irish-American skin is anything but that — to appreciate the significance, beauty, and awe that comes with the move from night into day.
Furthermore, the Creator of Light is already also the Source of Life as we know so well from our knowledge of biology. Without the sun, without light, we would have no existence, and for this gift of life and light, we are grateful.
The coming of Christ announced in today's O Antiphon points to this truth, the truth in a physical way and in a spiritual way, if such a distinction really can be made. Light gives life, but it also uncovers and makes known the injustice of our world, gives hope to those in the dark shadows of death, and offers us the promise of a future, of something more, of a breaking dawn.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Federal and state regulators issued guidance to lenders on how firms can communicate pending resets on home-equity lines of credit. "As HELOCs transition from their draw periods to full repayment, many borrowers will have the financial capacity to pay as agreed. Some borrowers, however, may have difficulty meeting higher payments resulting from principal amortization or interest rate reset, or renewing existing loans due to changes in their financial circumstances or declines in property values," the guidance from the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the National Credit Union Administration and the Conference of State Bank Supervisors read. The regulators urged banks to apply prudent underwriting for renewals, extensions and rewrites, use sustainable modification terms, and properly account for any change. The OCC has previously estimated that some $30 billion will reach the end of their draw period this year.

Hey, any of you ever suffered through this shitty affliction called Plantar fasciitis?
I'm pretty sure that's what I've got, mild to medium case, and probably developed it over time by wearing a pair of boots/shoes that didn't have much support from the inserts, which were flattened out.
Anyway, the symptoms are that when I hike, etc. I get a good dose of pain on my right heel and foot, esp. the day after exercising it. I'm trying to wear different, more supportive shoes when hiking, eps, and also in day to day work. Also, doing some research on the internet about stretching exercises, etc. Hitting the foot/heel area in the jaccuzi at the local pool.
When I do the stretch where I lean forward with the afflicted heel behind my other foot,(this one: http://www.webmd.com/hw-popup/calf-stretch)
I often feel a burning pain on the heel, ie, achilles I spose. Tight, right? Keep doing the stretch or not?
Hoping for a somewhat quick heal for the heel, as hiking/climbing season is upon us. I know the reality, ie, might take a bit of time, resting it, etc. but, shit, I want to get out there and have fun, not be injured all summer. Plus, I paint houses in the summer, thus on my feet much of the time. Drag getting older and having this kind of shit just pop up on you. . .
So, advice?
Thanks in advance!

Some of Egypt's minority Sufi Muslims are warning against the growing influence of Islamic fundamentalism in national politics. Adherents of the mystical form of Islam are holding a rally in Cairo's Tahrir Square Friday to make the case for a tolerant, civilian Egyptian state.
The gathering has adopted the slogan "For the Love of Egypt," arguing for a new government that embraces the political and religious spectrum rather than the fundamentalist vision of an Islamic state.
Fundamentalist Muslim rally causes apprehension
Alaa Abu al-Azayem, head of the al-Tahrir political party and leader of the Azmiya Sufi sect says his group's participation in the rally - the first time members have called for such action - comes in direct response to a rally late last month of tens of thousands of fundamentalist Muslims.
He says the July 29th protest caused fear for all Egyptians, Christians and Muslims, warning that if "those people" came to rule the country, they would make anyone who opposes them "disappear."
It's a dire prediction, but al-Azayem is not alone in his fears. Calls by Salafi and Wahabi groups for a strict interpretation of Sharia law in the new Egyptian constitution have raised alarm among the country's Christians, secularists and more moderate Muslims.
Those groups had planned to take part in Friday's mass iftar - the Ramadan evening meal - but many have decided to postpone the gathering for a week after meeting with Prime Minister Essam Sharaf.
Those in favor of the delay, including secularists, other Sufi sects as well as the nation's leading Islamic political group, the Muslim Brotherhood, say they are waiting for a government announcement in the coming days on the constitutional drafting process.
Another reason given for the delay is the toll the protests are taking on Egyptians, with those in favor of postponement arguing that the focus should now be on upcoming elections. Moreover, they say, the weekly rallies are hurting the economy.
But Sufi leader Al-Azayem counters that allowing fundamentalists to dominate the political dialogue could be equally problematic - and points to the fall in the Egyptian stock market after the Islamist show of force last month.
Al-Azayem adds that the purpose of Friday's meeting is to assure the Egyptian public that "a peaceful force exists", one that does not alienate other groups but accepts them and their differences.
Religious minorities and secularists argue that Islamist groups played little role in the January uprising, and are now trying to hijack the movement. Salafi leaders have said they would respect the democratic process and the rights of others, but argue that an Islamist state would evolve naturally over time.
Salafi extremist attacks
Attacks by Salafi extremists on Christians, Sufi places of worship and even pharaonic sites in recent months have led many to question promises of peaceful coexistence.
The current military government has urged an end to all protests in Tahrir, and has authorized force to clear the square several times since the uprising succeeded in February. Officials say they have met most of the demonstrators' key demands, including putting former President Hosni Mubarak on trial.
Officials were quoted Thursday as again saying they were working to end the nation's much-hated emergency laws, in place for nearly 30 years. Islamic as well as other religious groups were banned from forming political parties under the former government, and many Islamist leaders were imprisoned under the emergency measures.

Afghanistan: Women lead protest against government corruption
Afghan police, in riot gear, monitored the rally as it worked its way slowly through muddy streets to the United Nations building here, but they did nothing to disrupt the event.
The unusual display of political activism by women comes as Karzai is under increasing pressure to remove from his Cabinet anyone connected to rampant corruption, including links to the flourishing drug trade. His own finance minister says corruption is the biggest threat to the future of Afghanistan.
Karzai, elected to a second term in a vote marred by ballot-stuffing, had been expected to announce his selections for Cabinet positions this week, but he delayed his announcement until next week.
In a surprise visit to Kabul this week, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said he hopes that Karzai appoints reformers.
Karzai declined to say who he will appoint but promised that his selections will satisfy the Afghan public and the international community.
The protest group, under the banner Social Assn. of Afghan Justice Seekers, said that "our people have gone into a nightmare of unbelieving" because of the disputed election and the fact that "the culture of impunity" still exists despite Karzai's vow to eliminate it.
While the women took the lead in the protest, about 500 men followed them in support, an unusual display in Afghan culture of men allowing women to take a leadership role.
The group spokeswoman, who gave her name as Lakifa, said many women are still afraid to demand an accounting of the death or disappearance of family members during the three decades of war that have ripped Afghanistan.
"We need to know about all of our martyrs, and the government needs to find the mass graves and the killers, not give them jobs and protect them," she said.
Although it was not a major focus of the protest, the group was also critical of President Obama's decision to send additional troops.
"The innocent and oppressed people will be the victims of American air and ground attacks," said the group's statement handed to Afghan and U.S. reporters.
Earlier this week, the Afghan Rights Monitor released a poll suggesting that half of Afghans think of the Karzai government as illegitimate because of the election fraud. The Cabinet selections, said the group's director, Ajmal Samadi, represent a "win or lose time" for Karzai.
"Mr. Karzai must urgently implement transformational reforms in all aspects of his government or accept grave consequences," Samadi said.

So who replaces Amy Winehouse
So what route do you think they'll choose? Something in the same female-voice based realm (Erykah Badu, Sharon Jones), someone in the uber-popular British female realm (Duffy, Estelle), or just anything that has as similar draw and can sell as many tickets as Amy Winehouse (Blink 182...shudder)?
I'm hoping that they go with the similar draw option, but do something significantly crowd pleasing. Convince Pavement to play this year.
I have no info, at the moment. If I hear anything, I'll post it.

BSS would be rad. Their website states The Langerado Festival was cancelled for March so it's plausible they would be available to play Coachella. I doubt it will happen though.
Blur (playing in France July 5th)or Interpol (currently rehearsing new songs) would add some punch to the Saturday line up. Again, plausible, but not likely.

I wouldn't be surprised to see an appearance from The Dead Weather, the new band featuring Jack White and Alison Mosshart from The Kills (who will already be there). Their existence was just announced today and their debut album will be out in June. This could be a pretty interesting add and just because Jack White's in the band they'd be a decent draw.

So... after some careful consideration...
I actually seriously honest-to-goodness think Faith No More might be playing Coachella this year.
They are really the strongest candidate to me to replace Winehouse.

Hmmm, perhaps along the lines of Leonard Cohen, it would make sense to bring aboard Lou Reed and John Cale. That would be a surprise and definitley amazing. Plus, Antony Hegarty is already performing on Sunday, who has teamed up onstage with the above mentioned. Throw in some other innovative artists to collaborate with onstage and that would be an intelligent way to close Coachella.

I'll be disappointed if its the Stone Roses. Not to sound xenophobic, but I don't need another UK-centric act at the top of the bill. We've already got Macca, Morrissey, Franz Ferdinand, The Cure, My Bloody Valentine, The Chemical Brothers playing while The Killers and Leonard Cohen seem like they're more popular overseas than here at times. There has got to be a decent American power act that can fill the Winehouse slot.

The Stone Roses WON'T reform for summer tour 13 years after their split
By Daily Mail Reporter

Reports that Ian Brown is to rejoin his former group The Stone Roses for a summer tour have been denied by the singer's publicist today.
It was claimed that the band would be reuniting after convincing lead singer Brown to return.
However a spokesperson for the 46-year-old said today, 'We know nothing about a reunion. Ian is working on his new studio album which is due out later this year.'
Summer tour: Manchester band The Stone Roses won't be reforming this year
A national newspaper had reported that the band were lined up to play 21 UK gigs and there was even talk of a US date, with the Coachella Festival in California a possibility.
The Mirror said the tour would coincide with the release of a remastered 20th anniversary edition of the band's debut album The Stone Roses in June.
No change of heart: Lead singer Ian Brown pictured at the Q awards two years ago
Brown, who went on to have a successful solo career after the group split in 1996, was said to have been originally unsure about reuniting with his former bandmates but the paper reported he had been persuaded by drummer Alan 'Reni' Wren, bassist Gary 'Mani' Mounfield and guitarist John Squire.
'It's taken a lot of time and effort to get Ian to agree, but he's finally signed on the dotted line.
'The rest of the band were really up for it, especially when they realised the amount of money on the table,' a source is quoted as telling The Mirror.
However, it seems that Brown is as certain now as ever that the band won't reform. Last summer Brown told journalists that there was 'no chance ... not in the next three lifetimes' of his former band reuniting, leaving many sceptical of the alleged reunion.
The Stone Roses first album, which was released in 1989, has been voted one of the best of all time.
However the group split just seven years later after Squire, who designed the album's iconic cover, quit amid rows with Brown.
The pair are rumoured never to have spoken since.
Reni left the year before and Mani now plays bass for Primal Scream.
The Stone Roses were at the centre of the 'Madchester' phenomenon in the late 1980s and early 1990s when Manchester was the focus for a lot of the new musical talent hitting the UK indie music scene
Well that was fun.

You honestly think The Stone Roses = headliners/instant sellout? Please, when the flipping Jesus and Mary Chain reunited, even they played third to last on the main stage and the area wasn't all that packed. They're exponentially more popular and influential in the States, too. The Stone Roses only have a niche American audience. Maybe if Coachella were Glastonbury, it'd be a different story. Perhaps you should lay off the sauce Ian Brown's been hitting and check yourself back into reality.
We're lucky The Stones Roses aren't playing and we're lucky Winehouse isn't either. If there's a recurring theme here about this year's festival, it's "dodging bullets."

@ 8:23am, no and I don't think Daft Punk will be added because of what Dani the moderator on the board said earlier this year. Even though they last played in '06, it's still too soon because they'd been playing everywhere else since.
I can't see a reunion act landing the spot (unless it's Faith No More due to Patton already being there) because the short amount of time between now and the festival would take away the awe-factor and importance of such an add. My guess is a solid indie-alternative subheadliner who is already kicking around will be put up there, someone who compliments the same Killers crowd niche like a Modest Mouse.

It's never happened, maybe it won't (cross your fingers). With that being said, Daft Punk will not play this year....however, the side of me that's in denial (WHICH IS WRONG) says "oh they played coachella 2006 and then toured in 2007...so maybe...NO! it's not happening.

Prince was added about a month or a little less before the festival. It probably was meant to be announced much earlier to boost ticket sales, but negotiations sidetracked it for a little longer. I truly think GV would have announced him earlier if they could and I personally think that add was an unsual case add.
That said, I don't think anyone should brace themselves for another Prince-like scale addition. I don't think they're even sweating this Winehouse replacement because Paul T's got friends in all places who would be more than happy to step up to the plate.
And yes, people need to stop living in the pipedreams and being in denial. There is a ton of amazing music out there, but year after year its the same three or four acts on the want lists. I for one think the Chemical Brothers are only playing to appease such people, and am kinda annoyed since its only a lame DJ set. Those guys have played the thing like 3 or 4 times already. Enough already!

Prince was always on the lineup last year. They agreed to not announce him until it was secured that he was going to be willing to play after his hip surgery. It would have been a financial nightmare for them to announce Prince from day one and then have him drop out later. That's why they had the subheadliningg Portishead and Kraftwerk in the headliner spot when the lineup was announced.
Beck asked to be added in 2004. He played for free and for fun.

I think with what GV did last year with Prince (what with having to wait for confirmation, blah, blah, blah) they have set people up for such high expectations. However, I don't think those expectations would be nearly as high as they were/are if it had not been for making Saturday headlined by The Killers. This combination as left a lot of people (including myself) dumbfounded.
People make the argument that "Hey, If Jack Johnson can headline, so can The Killers". Remember people, he was the Friday headliner, not Saturday. I mean, fucking Saturday is The Killers!
I've personal come to grips with this great insult to the Coachella goers.
So, moving on: Who the hell is going to replace Winehouse? I mean, this isn't even an addition, it's a replacement. So what is the frickin' hold up?

The original plan for saturday was to have U2 perform on the main stage minus the bells and whistles of their usual massive tour setup. This will be announced within the next week...with about 20 days to go to the fest...same as they did with Prince last year. U2 wants the buzz to stay alive for their new album and they will not play any gigs in the US until late summer...this will give them a lot of press.
As for Amy replacement I have no info on that...maybe just give u2 a bit more time as they were originally only going to play a one hour set of mostly new material before the Killers go on.

I don't understand why people make up these ridiculous stories. If you want to stir up some conversation at least think of something realistic.
U2 will not be there. Nor will Michael Jackson.
Got it?
That being said, im pretty sure Coachella is pretty much set on their final lineup. If anything is added it will be some mid to low level bands.
As for a replacement for Winehouse. I doubt there will be one. They already added Chemical Brothers, who very well could open for The Killers, if not they still have TV On The Radio who could also open for The Killers.

It is not U2 opening for the Killers...it is a surprise stripped down set by U2 that will take place before the Killers. That is all that it is...did Madonna open for Mylo in 2006? Did the Chili Peppers open for Tiesto in 2007?
Bono and Co want to get out and play some new tunes at a fest and keep the buzz going for the new album. Bono is also a fan of the Killers and respects their ambition and realizes that they deserve a headlining spot since U2 will not be giving a full on production.

Ok, fine then, do you have anything that would even remotely substantiate such a claim? No? I thought not.

Wavves (and Robyn and whoever else was on that list) isn't being added. Someone posted using the name name as me. I've deleted the false posts and locked this down where people have to be slightly more mature to comment.

Is there any chance Pavement could still be convinced to play this year?
I have a hard time believing that Prince was always going to play as long as his hip was ready. If that was the case, they would have had merch that included him along with all the other acts. It would have been designed and ready to go, but they didn't.
A 10 year anniversary with the Killers headlining just doesn't sound that impressive.

Paul T said that pavement is not goin to happen this year.
Still hope that GV will step it up for the 10th aniversary...hopefully something new that has never play coachella, or a reunion.
- March 23, 2009 at 6:34 PM
- daniel said...
in an interview Paul T said he's not one to celebrate anniversaries. Like he wont go bigger just because it's ten years. He just wants to "put on a good show." So i don't think we should expect a mind blowing revolutionary thing to happen. Just an exciting Coachella like every year.

Well he definitely has missed the exciting mark for Saturday, that's for sure.

leartlee, theres 10 hours of music on 5 different stages before the killers even come on stage that you might be missing. i can't lie, when i first saw the killers headlining, i was bummed. i really don't care for the killers at all. i was unfamiliar with a lot of the lineup, especially saturday. i looked into a majority of the acts and now i am more excited for saturday than any other day. take a look at the acts you don't know. that doesn't mean listening to 2 songs on myspace through your shitty laptop speakers and saying, "this sucks". download a whole album, or borrow one, smoke a bowl, throw your headphones on and go for a walk. the headliners are probably the least cool thing coachella has to offer.
- March 25, 2009 at 12:42 AM
- leeartlee said...
I've said this before here and elsewhere; The headliners are not the only draw to Coachella, I know this. It's about the whole package.
However, the headliners are part of that alluring package. It's nice to have a day full of solid mid-card players with some unknowns surprising the hell out of you, with the grand finale of a engaging performance by an well established artists.
Is the fact that this isn't going to happen on Saturday enough to stop me having a good time? No. But does this tragic circumstance upset me? Yes.

HEY MONK... is it goin' to be a suprise add?
- March 27, 2009 at 9:40 AM
- Blakely said...
Part of Pauls mission is to make bands who are up to the job and have never headlined before headliners. And the killers who are relatively small compared to macca and the cure but put on a good show and they rocked glastonbury so they obviously can handle headlining. The people who are upset just dont really like the killers. Sucks. You dont have to go see them. I didn't see JJ last year, and I turned out ok without one day of a huge headliner.
