I want to thank American Diabetes Wholesale for their generous donation and wonderful support for our event for the second year in a row!
Pompano Beach, FL (PRWEB) February 13, 2013
American Diabetes Wholesale announced that they have become a major sponsor for the 'Downhill For Diabetes' fundraiser for the second year in a row. The event, held at Pico Mountain Resort, in Killington, Vermont, will take place on February 24, 2013. Beginning at 8AM, the day-long event will include skiing and snowboarding with the focus of raising money for diabetes research.
Similar to a charity walk or run, the skiers and snowboarders participating in the event will seek donations from businesses, family, and friends for their efforts. One hundred percent of the proceeds collected during the event will go directly towards researching a cure for diabetes.
'We are excited to once again be a major sponsor for the 'Downhill For Diabetes' event. 'Donations for Diabetes' is a fantastic team and we applaud their efforts to raise public awareness about Type 1 diabetes,' says Chris Maguire, Vice-President and co-founder.
The event is being hosted by Donations for Diabetes, a non-profit organization based in Vermont. The 2013 event is the third 'Downhill For Diabetes' run and their goal is to surpass the 2012 donation total of $14,500.00.
'I want to thank American Diabetes Wholesale for their generous donation and wonderful support for our event for the second year in a row! Every amount donated makes us that much closer to helping our daughter and all the other people who suffer from this disease. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.' says Lynn Pratt, co-founder of Donation for Diabetes.

Drunk soldiers looted Mali's presidential palace hours after they declared a coup on Thursday, suspending the constitution and dissolving the institutions of one of the few established democracies in this troubled corner of Africa.
The whereabouts of the country's 63-year-old president Amadou Toumani Toure, who was just one month away from stepping down after a decade in office, could not be confirmed. The United States Embassy issued a statement dispelling rumors that he had sought refuge in their compound.
The scene in this normally serene capital was unsettling to those proud of Mali's history as one of the few mature democracies in the region. Soldiers smelling of alcohol ripped flat-screen TVs, computer monitors, printers and photocopiers out of the presidential palace, carting them off in plain sight. Others in pickup trucks zoomed across the broad avenues, holding beer bottles in one hand and firing automatic weapons with the other.
The mutineers said they were overthrowing the government because of its mishandling of an ethnic Tuareg insurgency in the country's north that began in January. Tens of thousands of Malian civilians have been forced to flee. The soldiers sent to fight the separatists have been killed in large numbers, often after being sent to the battlefield with inadequate arms and food supplies, prompting fierce criticism of the government.
The coup began Wednesday, after young troops mutinied at a military camp near the capital. The rioting spread to a garrison thousands of miles (kilometers) away in the strategic northern town of Gao.
By evening, troops had surrounded the state television station in Bamako. At dawn on Thursday, some 20 soldiers huddled behind a table, facing the camera. They introduced themselves as the National Committee for the Reestablishment of Democracy and the Restoration of the State, known by its French acronym, CNRDR.
"The CNRDR representing all the elements of the armed forces, defensive forces and security forces has decided to assume its responsibilities and end the incompetent and disavowed regime of Amadou Toumani Toure," they said, reading from a statement. "The objective of the CNRDR does not in any way aim to confiscate power, and we solemnly swear to return power to a democratically elected president as soon as national unity and territorial integrity are established."
The soldiers said they intended to hand over power to an elected government, though they made no mention of the fact that elections were supposed to be held on April 29. More than a dozen candidates were expected to run. Toure was not in the race, as he has already served the maximum two terms.
Criticism of the coup was swift. France said would suspend all government cooperation with Mali, except for aid. In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said that the United States "condemns" the seizure of power by the military, and added that officials were meeting to discuss whether or not they might cut off the $137 million in annual U.S. assistance.
The body representing countries in the region, the Economic Community of West African States, called the coup "reprehensible."
The coup is a major setback for Mali, a landlocked nation of 15.4 million which is dirt-poor but fiercely proud of its democratic credentials. The current president, a former parachutist in the army, came to power himself in a 1991 coup. He surprised the world when he handed power to civilians, becoming known as "The Soldier of Democracy." A decade later, he won the 2002 election and was re-elected in 2007. There was never any question that Toure — known by his initials ATT — would step down at the end of his term next month.
"The situation is grave for our democracy and our republican institutions," said Ali Nouhoum Diallo, the former president of Mali's National Assembly. "We cannot approve the seizing of power through force."
The last statement from the presidency came via Twitter from the government's official account. Late Wednesday, they said: "This is not a coup. It's just a mutiny."
But as the sound of heavy weapons rang out, the emboldened soldiers encircled the palace. Contacted by telephone, an officer at the palace who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press said that the president's bodyguards had failed to fight the renegade soldiers when they burst in. They searched the grounds but could not find Toure, and there were conflicting reports Thursday about where he might be hiding.
The mutinous soldiers imposed a nationwide curfew, warning people to stay off the streets until further notice. A flight headed to Bamako was forced to U-turn in the air after the borders were closed. At noon, soldiers were still riding on scooters and in pickup trucks shooting in the air, and local media was reporting casualties from stray bullets.
At midday Thursday, coup spokesman Lt. Amadou Konare ordered soldiers to stop randomly shooting. He also asked that public employees return to work next Tuesday, saying any unjustified absences would be considered an abandonment of service.
"We ask our civilian compatriots to stay calm at home and we ask our comrades in uniform who have not yet joined the CNRDR to do so without delay," said Konare, reading a communique on state television.
In recent years, the U.S. military has been helping train Malian troops in counterterrorism tactics to fight al-Qaida-linked militants who have established bases in Mali's northern desert, the same area that is now beset by a Tuareg uprising. Ironically one of the military camps where they held their trainings was the Kati garrison, the place where the mutiny started Wednesday.
The Tuaregs, a traditionally nomadic people spread across the Sahara Desert, have risen up against the central government in Mali several times since the country's independence from France in 1960.
The newest rebellion launched in mid-January broke years of relative peace, and has been fueled by the return of Tuaregs from Libya who had fought in Moammar Gadhafi's army. Tens of thousands of refugees have spilled over into four of the countries neighboring Mali due to the uprising.

File this under things we're not sad about: David Beckham's in his underwear for his latest H&M collection.
The 38-year-old retired footballer, who has successfully fronted his bodywear range for the high street store over several seasons, is seen wearing a pair of purple boxer shorts in one shot.
Beckham is also seen modeling other items from the range in what appears to be a tiled changing room, including an all-white ensemble and a black leggings and matching ribbed top.
Speaking about the range, Beckham said: "I think it's always important when getting a new collection out, to update it enough to make sure people feel they are getting something different.
"I think we've done that with this, we've been adding the green, the vine, the cream, and I think that brings a new dimension to the whole collection-and that's very special."

The Silver King is a wonderful piece of art-deco styling, from "The Camera Man" of Chicago. It's made of bakelite and has an aluminum back. The faceplate was made in silver with black lettering, and in black with silver lettering. I have been lucky enough to acquire both variants with their respective original boxes.
There is no date to be found for this camera in McKeown's Price Guide, but I'm going to guess 1939, based on similar Chicago "minicams" of the era.

It's rare to step into a theater and feel so completely embraced by a show's mood before it has even started, but I shouldn't have been surprised. The popcorn, the string of lights, the calliope, the canvas circus tarps enclosing the stage — all of it puts you in the world of "Barnum," the 1980 Broadway musical about P.T. Barnum, the master 19th century huckster and circus impresario.
But even aside from those trappings, a palpable, neighborly vibe was in the air last weekend, and it went a long way toward explaining what Quest Theatre Ensemble is going after. Namely, a loose intimacy and casual bonhomie between audience and performer, and I found it hugely effective.
Dismissing financial barriers to entry, the company charges nothing for tickets (though they do accept donations). It's no accident they're calling this production "The People's Barnum."
A circus-musical mash-up that demands acrobatic and other such skills from its cast, the show spans Barnum's bizarre career from the 1830s through the 1880s. A lover of oddities and the power of the well-made entertainment con, he collected various acts — Tom Thumb being perhaps the most famous — and battled his way through show biz hardships, mostly under the stabilizing influence of his wife. It's a purely American story of capitalistic impulse fueled by the proverbial sucker born every minute with a terrific score from Cy Coleman and Michael Stewart that includes the wonderfully bluesy, clipped-wings lament of "Black and White" and the can-you-top-this mayhem of "Join the Circus."
Under the direction of Andrew Park, the production jams an awful lot onto its tiny stage. Stylistically it feels a bit too cobbled together at points, but again that's part of Quest's deal. It's not trying to be slick. This is a low-budget, if fully inhabited, affair.
And if Jason Bowen's Barnum lacks in-your-face charisma or that crucial, desperate undercurrent that surely existed within a man so willing to lie every moment of his life (even if it was all in good fun), it's a good-natured performance that captures Barnum's infectious enthusiasm all the same, and it is nicely complemented by David Hathway's impish ringmaster, who even breaks out a bona fide back flip.
Through March 18 at The Blue Theatre, 1609 W. Gregory St. Free (donations accepted); 312-458-0895 or questensemble.org.
"The $25,000 Pyramid"
Throwing some improv juice into a game show format sounds intriguing — and also, redundant. What game show isn't improvised to some extent? At any rate, a favorite TV staple of mine from the 1970s and '80s is being revived at the Playground Theater with an emphasis on improv from the "contestants," i.e., the performers from the improv group known as Mort. "This is what happens when you go from network TV to a theater off Belmont (Avenue)," we were informed somewhat at the outset. That's a sheepish premise I can get behind.
A word-guessing game, the various incarnations of "Pyramid," worked over the years primarily for the way the show exposed varying levels of articulateness among celebrities, some of whom were just horrible at the game. Never underestimate the power of schadenfreude.
Alas, the concept here is half-baked: The central joke, if one even exists, appears to be a moving target, and that results in sketchily drawn characters and stalled exchanges.
Latest Entertainment
That sound I kept hearing was improv hitting a brick wall as two woefully thick-headed teams competed against one another (Harry Potter and Rip Taylor were the "celebs" last weekend). The whole thing felt like a frustrated exercise. As a group, the members of Mort failed to play the game straight (which might have been the truly subversive choice) or invent a workable comedic alternative.
Saturday and March 10 at the Playground Theater, 3209 N. Halsted St. $10 at the-playground.com (show is listed under the group's name, Mort).

Categories: Civil Litigation and Dispute Resolution Law Practice Skills Criminal Law
Instructor(s) Findley, Keith
The rules of evidence define how facts are proven in civil and criminal litigation. Focusing on the Federal Rules of Evidence, this course will give students a broad survey of the rules combined with in-depth analysis of how they apply in specific circumstances and how the entire litigation process -- from the filing of a complaint to final judgment after trial and appeal -- is shaped by evidentiary principles. Analysis of appellate case law will play, at most, a very limited role in the course, and the teaching format will not be based primarily on lectures. Instead, class discussions will be centered around hands-on solving of specific problems, with emphasis on formulating questions, making and ruling on objections, and planning how to get facts before a jury. Simulation and role-playing will be used from time to time. One or two writing projects, such as written evidentiary motions, will be required.

Assisted and independent living residents struggling with loneliness are learning how to use email, Facebook, and Twitter to reconnect with old friends
Betty Love Goodykoontz turns 101 on September 1 and, this year, she's giving a gift to her loved ones instead of receiving one. Her gift of choice? A blog.
An engaged member of her community in Birmingham, Alabama, and a retired schoolteacher, Betty knows better than nearly anyone just how important and significant a gift this is. She's witnessed more than just the digital revolution, seeing an entire world change exponentially over the last century. On her 90th birthday more than ten years ago, she took some time to reflect upon seeing the world and the way in which we communicate within it change so drastically over the last century, in the form of a poem:
After the pony express we corresponded by post;
Now email delivers in seconds at most!
In encyclopedias we used to get our "info;"
Now the Internet tells us more than we want to know!
"I came from the horse and buggy days all the way to outer space," Goodykoontz says. "I've seen amazing things happen, and the technology -- the iPhone and everything that has developed since just then ... it blows my mind to see what we have now and where we came from." For the centenarian, it's the computer that has been the game-changer: "It's a wonderful thing. For those of us that can't get out, we can bring the world in."
More than just a tool or channel for information, the Internet (and social networking, more specifically) has become a way for aging adults to connect to their loved ones and maintain their communities and relationships in ways more powerful than anything they ever imagined.
As adults move into older age, the spatial and social barriers they encounter start taking their toll. Isolation, loneliness, and depression are commonly experienced as family and friends move away and are less accessible, and as individual mobility and independence start to decline.
An upcoming study to be published by Dr. Shelia Cotten, a sociologist and Associate Professor from the University of Alabama, Birmingham, reveals that Internet use was associated with a 30 percent decrease in depressive symptoms among older adults who used it regularly, while other studies have shown similarly impressive results.
The 74-plus demographic is the fastest growing demographic among social networks, according to the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, and social networking among Internet users ages 65 and older grew 100 percent between April 2009 and May 2010, jumping from 13 percent to 26 percent. Facebook, Twitter, and Skype all show the most growth in the older adult demographic and with 39 million people currently aged 65 and older -- and an estimated 55 million by 2020 -- social networks are sure to continue to see a surge in their older base.
In a panel at last year's Annual Scientific Meeting on Aging, Dr. Laura Carstensen, the director of Stanford University's Center on Longevity, explained that social networking is proving more and more to be an entrance into technology for older adults. As a gateway, the vastness of the Web seems less intimidating, and many of the fears they have about computers and technology are put at ease when placed in the context of a community like Facebook. Carstensen likened the site to genealogy on steroids -- a source of instant connection for adults who live increasingly isolated lives in assisted living facilities and away from their families, often struggling with depression as a result.
Senior centers around the country now offer computer classes that branch off into specific courses focusing on social networking and teaching older adults how to engage with these tools -- and they're growing in popularity. In Newport News, Virginia, the city recreation department offers a wide range of computer classes geared towards the senior set, ranging from "Computer Basics," "Beginning Word," and "How to use a USB," to "How to Use Facebook," "How to Use MySpace," and a two-session course dedicated to YouTube. "Internet Safety" is available for new users to gain knowledge about protecting their privacy online, one of the biggest concerns for older adults new to the Web.
The Jewish Council for Aging (JCA), serving the Washington, D.C., area, has an entire Senior Tech program in place, with computer courses geared towards learning the tech skills needed for job searching and in the workplace, including adding a profile to LinkedIn and utilizing social media. In their program, teachers work with seniors as peers. As a result, students often go on to become volunteers and coaches for new students.
In addition to her upcoming publication linking Internet use to decreases in depression in older adults, Dr. Cotten spent the last year researching the impact that the Internet and social networking sites have on seniors living in assisted and independent living centers, particularly in terms of their social relationships and quality of life.
Cotten and her team of UAB graduate students led 300 older adults in computer training courses, setting out to discover whether information and communication technologies (ICTs) would allow individuals to "transcend social and spatial barriers," allowing residents at the living communities being studied to enhance their social networks and feel a greater sense of connection to the world at large. In a presentation at last November's Annual Scientific Meeting on Aging in New Orleans, Cotten presented her study of 15 assisted and independent living communities, which were randomly divided into three different arms of the study.
Visiting 15 assisted living communities for study, Cotten and her team led an eight week training class for the five communities randomly assigned to the ICT intervention component, meeting twice a week for 1.5-hour sessions. The other two arms of the study were an attention control and true control group. "We wanted to know if the impact of the study was due to people using technology or if it was due to the fact that we have young, energetic grads students and undergrads going in and doing fun activities with them. [In the attention control group] we play games, we'll do trivia sessions, sing-alongs. We're in there for the same amount of time and interacting with them in similar ways, but it's not tech-related," Cotten explains.
The ICT group started their computer classes learning the most basic skills: turning the computer on, logging in, opening and closing programs. They later moved on to email, learning to search and evaluate information online, social networking, and how to use sites like Hulu, YouTube, and Google Earth -- a favorite among older adults, who enjoy checking up on their old homes and neighborhoods. The mean age of the participants was 82.5 years, and the average time spent in an assisted living community was 3.25 years. Cotten and her team used field notes, focus group data, observations, and five surveys distributed to participants over the course of a year to evaluate the results of the study.
For many participants, it wasn't their first time using a computer. "I had a computer back in '98," said Goodykoontz. "I had taught myself by trial and error; I thought [the class] would be a good chance to learn from a professional." Fellow participant Vivian Mathews said that thought she had already owned a computer -- "bought one when everyone bought one; it was the thing to do," she says -- she saw the classes as an opportunity to explore the wealth of information her computer could provide. "I learned more about the Internet and how to do email -- those were the important things. And how to search for people, and all kinds of good stuff."
* * *
The study yielded surprising results; looking at numbers alone, survey results from the ICT intervention group showed increases in stress and anxiety levels, and feeling "more limited in work and other activities due to stress." The other two groups showed either a slight decrease or no change. However, when asked about perceived world size, the ICT group showed a significant increase, providing comments saying they "no longer feel left behind," and "the world seems bigger."
Apart from the large change in perceived world size, there was little change in quality of life from pre- to post-intervention, partly because eight weeks may be too little time and also because of the realization on the part of the participants that their memory may not be as robust as it once was, Cotten says. "One of the things we speculate is that being in this technology class makes people realize the wealth of information that they don't know," she explains. Even spread over eight weeks, the bi-weekly 90-minute class and additional office hours can take its toll -- "there's a cognitive burden that's going on there," says Cotten.
The qualitative results -- the testimonials and engagement from the participants, and the enthusiasm for continued training and classes -- suggest a different story.
When asked "How has the Internet changed your life in any way?" -- the feedback was surprisingly poignant. One participant responded saying, "We feel like we've joined the human race," while another said the computer class was the best thing she'd done since her husband died. One participant's answer was particularly staggering: "We're not as close to the grave as we thought."
"No matter how many times I hear that, it still sends chills down my spine," Cotten says. "I think for some people -- in assisted living in particular -- it's almost like the world is really just passing them by and they're just kind of waiting there to die. Having them be able to feel like they're learning this new stuff that can connect them with the larger world, it feels like it's pushing off death -- it's pushing them 'further from the grave.'"
It became increasingly apparent that more than finding information, the engagement with their social networks and sense of renewed relevance was the most significant gain for older users. "It's this kind of bigger sense of mattering, in the social world, if you will," Cotten explains. "You're not just something that's been pushed off to the wayside anymore. You still have consequence."
* * *
Over the course of the eight weeks, 10 to 15 percent of the group went on to engage in more advanced technology like social networking, joining Facebook and Eons, an online community for the Boomer set. Several of the students created Facebook profiles during an office hour session, joining initially to keep in touch with family members. Within no time they were soon finding and reconnecting with old high school friends and co-workers.
Of course, life expectancies being what they are, the chances of finding contemporaries as one gets older can prove to be more challenging. Mathews jokes, "I found some friends I knew a long time ago. But honey, I'm 90 years old, most everyone I know is dead. I kept getting obituaries." But, she says, in spite of this, Facebook has been an especially rewarding thing.
Now, Mathews can be more involved in the lives of her loved ones than ever before, using Facebook to check up on her great granddaughter. "She's a junior in college and I get to see all the things she's doing -- all the sorority things and such. It makes me feel about 80 years younger," she says. "And when I see what she says about her boyfriend and what's she's going to do, I can get on the telephone and say, 'Don't you do that!'"
Carol Boulding, a 79-year-old from Auburn, California, also finds herself using the site as a way to check up and be involved in her grandchildren's lives. Not a participant in the UAB study, Boulding joined the network on her own five years ago, and says it's been a real source of enjoyment. "I heard that family members were joining and I wanted to see what I was missing or not missing," she says. "It's a healthy thing, emotionally. I feel connected, and so many old people feel isolated -- I think it's wonderful and just keeping it all working is good for my brain."
* * *
Indeed, "keeping it all working" and exercising the brain via digital technology is an increasingly popular area of research, with studies examining the use of brain games and consoles like the Nintendo Wii or even playing solitaire on the computer. Social networking is proving to be not just a way to exercise the mind, but a way to lift spirits and boost morale. But in order for older adults to get the full benefits of these platforms, companies need to understand the way in which older adults engage with these sites. Without making some accommodations to the specific needs of older adults, tech giants could be missing a huge market.
"Facebook, even Gmail -- it's ridiculous that they haven't created easier user interfaces," says Cotten, who is planning on writing a Google grant that would help developers understand the specific aspects of the user interface that prove problematic for older adults. "There are a lot of small, niche companies out there who are [catering to older adults' needs]. They're creating their own very basic email services, social networking sites, etc., with easier-to-use interfaces. Generations Online is one of those companies that have done that."
Generations Online simplifies the Internet for older adults, creating easy-to-use, intuitive interfaces for services like email and general Web surfing. In effect, they live up to their motto of being "devoted to Internet literacy and access for the paper generation;" emails take on the visual appearance of postcards, while Outlook address books transform into rolodexes, helping users cross the digital divide.
Judging from the feedback of older users about the impact of social networking and its benefits on the morale and mental health of seniors, you'd think that companies like Facebook would be considering interfaces that would be better suited for the senior experience.
Dr. Joe Coughlin, director of the MIT AgeLab, says that social media and tech companies need to understand the differences in how the different generations use and benefit from their technology, and that the problem goes both ways. He says there aren't enough groups in the senior community that understand the technology available and how it would be useful to them, and not enough groups engineering and making the technology that understands what older adults need and why it's important.
Older adults and younger users use Facebook differently; younger users use the service as a celebration of self, a place to post about their life, their friends, pictures, updates, check-ins, says Coughlin. The 50-plus group uses it to connect with new people with similar interests, to seek out information about health care, caregiving, and find communities to belong to, in addition to the pleasure gained from seeing photos of family and friends.
However, not all seniors are as enthusiastic or ready to embrace the increasingly public world of Facebook. Privacy concerns appear to be the biggest barrier to older adults joining the social site; they fuel much of the fear seniors express about engaging with the Internet at large. Boulding says she uses Facebook as a way to check up on friends and grandchildren -- "I don't know if that's fair" -- and says she would sooner email rather than post on someone's wall. "I'm a private person, so I don't put my comings and goings on it so much," she says.
As if Facebook privacy issues weren't confusing enough to tech-savvy users, the policies can be overwhelming to older adults. Cotten says the solution lies in creating a simpler user interface. "When you log on, there could be a simple screener question asking your age, or your experience level -- are you a novice, a beginner, an expert in the use of computers? It could then automatically screen you to a different type of interface."
* * *
Looking beyond Facebook and email, Skype and Twitter seem poised to be the next logical arena for older adults to explore.
Skype, the free video calling service, allows grandparents in India to watch their young grandchildren in California play for hours if they'd like. Isolated older adults can feel like they're a part of the daily lives of their families, even if separated by oceans. While video calling has been primarily utilized by a younger demographic, the potential impact of the service on the loneliness that is so prevalent among older adults could prove to be monumental.
Twitter could be also be a more valuable resource to the senior base than many probably realize; Pew estimates show the increase in Twitter users ages 65-plus and reveal that 13 percent of adults ages 50 and older use the service. Just as Facebook is a venue for finding people and groups with similar interests or issues in caregiving and health, the way older adults surf the Web is also much more pointedly goal-oriented than younger users. They use it much like an almanac or encyclopedia. "I like to look up book reviews," says Goodykoontz. "Whenever there's something I'm curious about, I just call it up -- like historical things, to refresh my mind." With Twitter, she could easily start following streams of various literary publications or the Books section of her favorite newspaper.
For older adults, Twitter is the perfect way to curate a stream of news and information relevant to them. After one session setting up an account and choosing select outlets to follow, users could soon access real-time updates in the world of aging and health. The platform allows older adults to overcome one of the greatest mental blocks they have when approaching technology: not knowing where to start.
Studies will continue to examine how these platforms contribute to alleviating depression and perhaps strengthening cognition and memory, and early evidence already suggests the vast benefits they offer. For the incoming group of seniors, however, staying plugged in may not be as much of a challenge.
The Boomer generation will have no problem fitting in, says Rick Stanley, director of the JCA's Senior Tech program. "Aging means a lot of things these days, but what we're going to find out over the next 20 to 30 years is this: that population is going to grow immensely, but they're continually going to be a younger-thinking people. The Boomers grew up in the '60s and '70s; they changed an entire nation with new thought, and that hasn't changed about them. It's going to be hip to be old soon, if it's not already."

Gertrude Stein: Woman without Qualities
Routledge, 29 sep. 2017 - 212 pagina's
In her provocative study of Gertrude Stein, G.F. Mitrano argues that Stein's particular take on modernity has special relevance for today. Tracing what she describes as Stein's deeply modernist story of transformation from a nineteenth-century American woman to the disquieting muse of avant-garde culture portrayed in Picasso's famous portrait, Mitrano illuminates Stein's immense appetite for life, her love of thinking, and her craving for recognition. Her approach is innovative, combining the exegetical, the visual, and the theoretical, to emphasize Stein's struggle for individuality and public achievement as a profoundly historical struggle involving personal choices linked, for example, to her sexuality or the uses of her physical appearance. Stein continues to attract attention, Mitrano contends, because she anticipates many contemporary concerns, especially in the field of critical thinking: from the question of subjectivity, to the status of the writer as a laborer among many, to the meaning of fame and the private/public divide.

November 22, 2011 – UNITED Nations Children's Education Fund (UNICEF) chief, water, sanitation, and hygiene section, Mr Vinod Alkari, has revealed that, Nigeria loses N455 billion annually or 1.3 per cent of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) due to poor sanitation.
Similarly, he added that, 33 million people defecate in the open while only a third of the country's population have access to improved sanitation, with high morbidity and mortality as direct consequences.
UNICEF chief, Alkari, stated this on Monday at the opening ceremony of the third national roundtable conference on Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) in Nigeria, held in Katsina State.
Alkari, represented by Mr Bisi Agberemi, explained that, due to sanitation related diseases such as cholera, diarrhoea, dysentery and typhoid, 728 deaths were recorded from January to November, this year in 197 local government areas in 25 states in the country.
According to him, improving the disposal of human excreta and stopping open defecation can drastically reduce the disease burden caused by sanitation related diseases and contribute to economic transformation of the country.
The UNICEF chief, who expressed his organisation's commitment to sanitation development, said "UNICEF will continue to partner with relevant stakeholders to implement other high impact and cost effective interventions to reduce sanitation related diseases."
He, however, commended the Federal Ministry of Water Resources, Katsina State government and the National Task Group on Sanitation for organising the conference and hoped that, participants would make positive contributions to achieve the set targets for sanitation in the country.

Summer Sippers
Chill-out with these cool and easy drinks.
No summer soirée is complete without a perfectly refreshing cocktail. Add extra punch to your punch with these fresh ideas.
• Decorate the rim with lip-smacking flavor. Line the mouth of each glass with honey and roll it in shaved, toasted coconut―perfect for piña coladas. Use a slice of lime instead of water to salt the rims of your margaritas. For sweet and fruity drinks, dust glasses with granulated sugar or graham cracker crumbs.
• Perk up everyday ice cubes. Use inexpensive plastic molds to make cubes in a variety of shapes. Freeze blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or even edible flowers in the individual cubes. Chill mint juleps with mint-leaf cubes for extra flavor.
• Be the host, not the barmaid. Set up a bar where guests can help themselves. Prepare fresh-cut fruit in bowls; citrus fruits are a must, but consider exotic options as well, such as star fruit. Don't forget to offer an assortment of colorful napkins, swizzle sticks, umbrellas, and other fun toppers.
The Summer Sippers Checklist
Ice buckets and tongs
Lots of ice
Glasses (Take the hassle out of post-party cleanup by renting them; plan on at least two glasses per person.)
Knife and cutting board
Trash can (You can use a tablecloth to hide it under the table.)
Bottle and wine opener(s)
Bowls/trays for garnishes
Pitchers for refreshments (They'll perspire in the heat, so tie a cloth napkin around each handle to ensure a strong grip.)
Stock the Beach Bar
Here are a few of our favorite coastal accoutrements.
Glass swizzle sticks featuring sea stars, seashells, sailboats, dolphins, fish, palm trees, and other beachy themes ($7.49 for a set of six); The Swizzle Stick Store, 570/934-2736 or theswizzlestickstore.com.
Sugar cane swizzle sticks―perfect for daiquiris and fruity cocktails ($13.50 for three packages of 10 to 12); Melissa's, 800/588-0151 or melissas.com.

As fun as San Francisco is, my heart is in Sin City. I was very happy to get home late last night. We had a great time. We ate a lot. We walked a lot. However, I didn't walk enough, my scale this morning shared the ghastly news that I gained two pounds over the weekend. I suppose I should've relied less on the cable cars to tote my ass around. But they're fun, and every single bite I inhaled was worth while. We ate crab, and more crab. We ate pasta, and more pasta. We ate deli sandwich, after deli sandwich and we even saved room for Chinese treats.
We saw some sights we missed last time, and we fought the rain, and enjoyed the sunshine. Monday was a perfect day, or so we were told numerous times. It was 60 and sunny. Beautiful days in those parts must equal sunny skies. I was chilled the entire time, but layers and scarfs kept me warm. Brought home souvenirs this trip, that I wish we could have done with out. Any guesses? Considering it is San Francisco they were oddly appropriate, but I hadn't had a need for one since I was a small child. And then it was mostly to play Mary Poppins.
Anyway, once I sort through the photos, I'll share them along with the details of our trip.

5 Keys to Success for a Mobile-First Strategy
Digital banking is undergoing a dramatic shift as banks' strategies go from "cram online banking into the mobile device" to a true "mobile-first" strategy. As an old dog in digital, making this shift in mindset wasn't easy, but now I'm a mobile-first evangelist. How do you pursue a true mobile-first strategy? I've found these are some of the essential keys:
1) Embrace the three-device world. PC, tablet, phone. It's not hard to convince people that we live in an increasingly mobile world. What is hard is having a cohesive customer experience strategy that works across all three. Compare many online banking experiences to mobile apps, and you'll find inconsistent labeling and navigation. While banks have optimized their mobile experiences, they have been slow to retrofit online banking to keep pace.
2) Define your public website strategy. Many bank sites don't render well on tablets due to crowded page design and excessive text links. Two years ago a responsive design was considered the ideal solution. While that's still part of the answer, refactoring thousands of pages is a lot of work even with a supporting content management system. Instead, designing deliberate handset-friendly experiences may be more effective and may be faster to market, despite the expense of maintaining two design systems and code bases.
3) Mobile-only capabilities. It looks like mobile apps should be getting a nice shot in the arm over the next year or so. Given the unique capabilities of mobile devices, we have naturally gravitated toward location services and remote deposit. These services add real value and have put mobile banking on the map. Others, like fingerprint authentication and eliminating typing, should also be key objectives, although banks have been slow to integrate OCR capabilities such as photo bill pay. (Note: Apple announced that iOS 8 will support card-scanning capability.) Fingerprint authentication may be the solution that finally gets the security hold-outs to try mobile banking.
4) Traditional servicing. Banks still have a long way to go enabling core capabilities like a full suite of money movement functionality, let alone less-used services like check reorder or stop payment. Looking at the full inventory, we'll be working on mobile servicing capabilities for years to come.
5) Balance the demand. Digital on a budget means having to weigh mobile-first against other needs. There's a long list of functionality that could be in your apps, but this requires a significant financial investment. Having a framework for how you embrace mobile first will help you answer these questions.
So how do you prioritize these keys to success in mobile-first? The first item is a given: You can't succeed without a cohesive customer experience strategy across devices.
[For more insight from Jamie Armistead, check out: Banks Are Not the Yardstick for Digital Customer Experience.]
Beyond that, you can bucket mobile enhancements into items two, three, and four. Prioritize within those buckets and then start debating among them. How many users will it touch? How much of this is already happening online? Will enabling these services on mobile pull transactions out of the branch or just away from online? Given the decline in PC shipments, how much do you starve online for the sake of your apps? Are you missing out on sale opportunities? Will this be a hot new mobile-only capability? Will it address long-standing security concerns and spur more mobile adoption?
There's no right or wrong answer when it comes to mobile-first. The only mistake would be failing to embrace it.

President Barack Obama's political soul mate, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, is fond of saying, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste," which as he explains, allows you to "do things you could not do before." As terrible as the horrific mass shooting of dozens of innocent children at a Connecticut elementary school yesterday by a crazed young man is, Alex Jones hits the nail on the head of hypocrisy in his criticism of those, including President Obama, who would use yet another tragic shooting as an excuse for giving up our fundamental rights. President Barack Obama really is shedding crocodile tears just as Jones describes. Obama does a poor acting job in pretending to feel the pain of these innocent victims when his administration bears responsibility for unleashing thousands of the most dangerous, high-powered automatic guns across the border into Mexico as part of his Fast and Furious Operation that have been used to murder thousands of innocent Mexican citizens and dozens more Americans on this side of the border. It's frightening to think just how little the American media and those who argue for tougher gun control laws seems to care about that dirty little secret. That's to say nothing about our government's continued waging of endless and pointless wars in the Middle East for more than a decade now, and its covert arming of radical Muslim groups throughout the Middle East as part of a coordinated effort to topple various regimes in that region who are carrying out continuous assaults that are killing hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians. It would be refreshing if those who want to implement the efficient policies of Hitler, Stalin and Mao to usher in our own era of totalitarian rule could open their eyes and see the biggest crimes against humanity now occurring.
Meanwhile, as more information emerges about the accused shooter, who took his own life, we hear this common refrain from family members that there were no warning signs of problems. Adam Lanza was an honors student who came from an upper middle class family. From the Chicago Tribune:
Marsha Lanza, of northwest suburban Crystal Lake, said she was close with Adam Lanza's mother, Nancy, and sent her a message on Facebook on Friday morning asking how she was doing. Nancy Lanza never responded.
Marsha Lanza described Nancy Lanza as a good mother and kind-hearted.
If her son had needed counseling, "Nancy wasn't one to deny reality," she told The Associated Press late Friday.
Marsha Lanza said her husband saw Adam as recently as June and recalled nothing out of the ordinary about him.
Marsha Lanza told the Northwest Herald that she had not seen Adam since he was about 3 years old, but communicated regularly with his mother.
"I knew he had some learning issues in school," Marsha told the newspaper, "but I don't know if there were any behavioral issues. Right now, we don't know any more than you probably do."
Adam Lanza was an honors student who lived in a prosperous neighborhood with his mother, a well-liked woman who enjoyed hosting dice games and decorating the house for the holidays.
Now he is suspected of killing his mother and then gunning down more than two dozen people, 20 of them children, at a Connecticut grade school before taking his own life.
The 20-year-old may have suffered from a personality disorder, law enforcement officials said.
Investigators were trying to learn as much as possible about Lanza and questioned his older brother, who is not believed to have any involvement in the rampage.
Lanza killed his mother at their home before driving her car to Sandy Hook Elementary School and -- armed with at least two handguns -- carried out the massacre, officials said.
A third weapon, a .223-caliber rifle, was found in the car, and more guns were recovered during the investigation.
So far, authorities have not spoken publicly of any possible motive. They found no note or manifesto, and Lanza had no criminal history.
Witnesses said the shooter didn't utter a word.Lanza was a computer geek who liked playing computer games with his friends according to the Tribune. His parents had divorced in 2008. He grew up in an affluent neighborhood in Newtown, Connecticut where "many people work at companies like General Electric, Pepsi and IBM." Lanza's father worked for GE as a tax director. Just like the Aurora, Colorado shooter, seemingly programmed to kill on command.

Brevard college softball sophomore Jamie Hrobak and baseball junior Zac Joyce have been named the Sports Spot Student-Athletes of the Month for February. The award is presented by Sports Spot in conjunction with the Brevard College Athletic Department.
Hrobak was voted the Female Student-Athlete of the Month by the BC head coaching staff over Madison Lenox of women's basketball and Katie Daugherty of women's tennis.
The sophomore claims her first Student-Athlete of the Month award after recording four wins with a 2.23 ERA in 10 appearances in February. The Mill Spring, N.C. native earned South Atlantic Conference Pitcher of the Week honors on Feb. 11 after not allowing an earned run in 14 innings the previous week, finishing 2-0 with 21 strikeouts while issuing only three walks.
Joyce also claims his first Student-Athlete of the Month award by besting Dominique Pickett of men's basketball and Al Blackman of men's lacrosse.
Joyce finished the month 1-0 with a 1.71 ERA and 13 strikeouts in three appearances. The Walkertown, N.C. native earned NCBWASoutheast Region Pitcher of the Week and SAC Pitcher of the Week recognition after a complete-game shutout in BC's 1-0 seven-inning victory over Catawba on Feb. 16, allowing just one hit while striking out six.
These two athletes will be presented with action shots recognizing their award, which will be displayed in the lobby of Boshamer Gymnasium for the entire school year. A total of eight female and male Sports Spot Athletes of the Month will be selected in the 2013-2014 academic year. The award is selected from qualified candidates each month by the athletic department staff.

David Hirshey writes regularly for Deadspin about soccer.
When I walked into Kinsale Tavern on Sunday morning, making sure to step lightly around the dried tears of Patriots fans right outside the entrance, I was expecting a raucous welcome. After all, I was rockin' my Giants Super Bowl Champions t-shirt and still recovering from reprising Fear and Loathing in Phoenix with Leitch who, among other things, offered to blow a state trooper — and give him a signed book! — if he didn't search our car.
But despite the fact that all the usual ManU wankers were three deep at the bar in their silly scarves and kits, the place was like a sepulchre. "Who died?," I asked Pauline, the pub's longtime proprietess.
"23 people," she whispered, and I thought to myself "Wow, these kids don't know how to hold their liquor, do they?" And then it hit my addled brain like a Jay Alford sack on Tom Brady. Of course the reason that Kinsale was so eerily quiet — indeed, the reason that 76,000 people stood hushed at Old Trafford on the big screens over the bar — was the one minute of silence to commemorate the 1958 plane crash that killed 23 people, including eight beloved Manchester United players.
Think "We are Marshall" but with Bobby Charlton in the Matthew McConaughey role.
The solemn prelude was the pre-game entertainment before yesterday's big ManU-Man City derby kicked off. Call me shallow, but I preferred watching Jordan Sparks sing the national anthem. After all, I used to cheer for her weak-ass Dad not to get burned by Michael Irvin back in the day.
But there was no cheering at Old Trafford where Sir Alex got all Rudy Giuliani on the Man City yobs and warned them that anyone who so much as tittered during the one minute of silence would be waterboarded — or forced to watch the Liverpool-Chelsea game afterwards. The irony, of course, is that the Man City fans were actually respectful, while the ManU faithful are coping with their grief by selling their commemorative scarves on E-bay (how much do I hear for my Cory Lidle bobblehead?).
Wearing the retro sponsorless jerseys in honor of their fallen heroes, United wandered around the pitch like Britney at the MTV awards as City shredded their lazy defense for two goals en route to its first victory at Old Trafford since 1974.
"They were overwhelmed by the occasion," lamented Dubliner Dave who , according to Pauline, was himself so overwhelmed by the Giants Super Bowl victory that he was doing an Irish jig on top of the bar at 4 a.m. last Sunday.
But what excuse did Liverpool and Chelsea have for their coma-inducing display yesterday? Is it possible Alexi Lalas is right when the Galaxy GM says, in defense of MLS, that, "we don't have a monopoly on crap soccer." Certainly, this nil-nil draw at Stamford Bridge could serve as Exhibit A the next time some British tabloid hack calls the Galaxy a pub team. How eye-bleedingly awful was the match between two of England's alleged super powers? Let's put it this way, it made me hunger for a Kansas City Wizards-Colorado Rapids midseason game played on the football-lined field at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
Why, I wondered, was I even watching the Liverpool-Chelsea borefest when I could have been in Accra, Ghana thrilling to the joyful and dazzling play at the African Nations Cup? (If only Leitch wasn't such a cheap bastard, I could have pimped his book to all the Deadspin readers from Cote D"Ivoire.) Still, on the face of it, who could have foreseen that with so much high-priced talent on the field at Stamford Bridge, the soccer would be so soporific?
Yes, the Blues were missing Drogba and Essian, but for the first time since Christmas they had Lampard (welcome back, you fat fuck) alongside Ballack (nice open goal miss at the end, you whiny Kraut) in midfield with everyone's favorite mercenary Nicolas Anelka spearheading the attack. At least that's what it said on the lineup sheet, though for most of the game the $120 million troika was largely invisible. And what about all the hooey that Chelsea under Avram Grant was playing so much more attractive soccer than it did under Mourinho? Maybe that was the case in the Israeli's first few games in charge, but Chelsea's style has now become as dour as the black on black ensemble that Tony Soprano-witz flaunts on the touchline.
By comparison, the beleaguered Rafael Benitez looked positively jaunty, even though it's only a matter of time until Anfield observes a minute of silence in his honor. Liverpool may be a sad husk of the team that bestrode Europe only a couple of years ago, but is it his fault that Torres went away for international duty and came back injured? Without their lethal and stylish marksman, the Reds couldn't finish a sandwich, let alone a goal at Stamford Bridge where Liverpool has gone scoreless in its last eight visits.
Let's face it, Liverpool's attacking tandem of Crouch and Kuyt is not going to make defenders crap their shorts no matter how many high balls the Reds hoof into the box aimed at the head of the 6'8" beanpole striker. It never fails to amaze me how useless in the air the robotic Crouch is, and yesterday's three pathetic headers on goal were just more evidence that he will never be a force in the Prem.
Benitez can stroke his poor excuse for a goatee all he wants, but unless he finds a better partner for Torres upfront, Liverpool are in danger of the unspeakable happening — not qualifying for Europe. And if that were to happen, how long do you think their talismanic captain Steven Gerrard would stick around? Yesterday, Gerrard played like a man whose mind was elsewhere, possibly in Dubai where his girlfriend and her two friends were vacationing.
Let's bow our heads and have a minute of silence for them.

Johnny Depp likely split the vote (as we predicted), leaving open the possibility for Paul Giamatti to sneak in and win Best Actor in a Comedy.
Gaimatti dealt with the nervousness of going up against Depp, nominated for both "The Tourist" and "Alice and Wonderland," Jake Gyllenhaal in "Love and Other Drugs," and Kevin Spaceyin "Casino Jack," by eating his feelings.
"I'm a little jacked up because I ate five boxes of the Godiva chocolates. I've never seen so many Godiva chocolates—and Hale Berry. I always think a mistake has been made, because the other men in this category are my superiors in every regard, as men and actors, so I acknowledge them."
"This was an extraordinary movie to be a part of and people busted their asses to get it made… I had amazing actors to work with, Scott Speedman, I had three wives in this movie, yeah, three wives." Rachelle Lefevre, Minnie Driver and Rosmaund Pike, just a trifecta of hotties. And I got to smoke and rink and I got paid for it. Amazing, amazing thing."

My Amazingly Awesome Saturday
As mentioned yesterday, I went to get some red velvet pancakes this morning! I changed my mind last minute though… the french toast sounded so much more exciting! It had nutella in between each slice and was topped with hazelnuts and plantains!!!
Nat ended up with the red velvet pancakes (which looked more like cake slices). There was cream cheese in between AND on top. Walnuts also made their way onto the plate…
Sister ordered a delicious veggie egg white omelette. It had goat cheese, zucchini, spinach, and asparagus!
Nige ordered a sandwich. What kind of sandwich? I don't remember. All I know is it contained meat and the had the word "Italy" in its name.
Justine ordered fish tacos, but they weren't pretty enough to photograph…
Then, Mid-brunch, I looked up and saw a guy with piercing green eyes about to sit next to a girl who I had previously made eye contact with. I immediately recognized him, but had my doubts. COULD IT BE? AM I DELUSIONAL? IS IT REALLY HIM? His face was then obscured by the people sitting at the table in front of his. I had to wait until they left to see if my hypothesis was correct. I didn't dare say anything to the people I was dining with for fear of being wrong then embarrassed at my sucky star-recognizing ability. As soon as the people in front of him left, I looked up again and realized I was right.
Why yes, yes it was Jesse freakin' Williams, AKA McPretty from Grey's Anatomy! I DIE.
I quickly told my posse what was goin' down, then tried to focus on my meal and not glance his direction again. It was terribly hard since Nat was sitting right across from me and I was constantly trying to pick at her red velvet pancakes. At one point he got up and walked past our table to the counter, so Justine then offered to snap a picture for me when he got back. My sister followed with, "I'll take a picture of you two if you want". Not wanting to bother him, I told the two of them it's fine, I don't need a picture. They insisted I just use my phone and quickly take one, I still refused. Finally Justine said, I'll just pretend to take a picture of Nige when he comes back. Well, he came back, Justine went to the restroom, Sister couldn't work Justine's camera, pulled out her own, and I quickly switched seats with Nat. Damn it, I WAS going to get a picture with him, even if he was in the background. Might as well, right? I mean, if sister was going to take a picture whether or not I refused… AND, it's not considered bothersome, right?
Little did I know, sister wasn't exactly the most ninja-like person and held the camera up for a LONG time. So long, in fact, that he had time to realize this and look DIRECTLY AT THE CAMERA. Everyone we showed the picture to said he looks mad, but I just think he looks pretty.
I was laughing hysterically at the lameness of the situation as well as my lack of balls for asking him directly to get a picture.
I, not realizing he spotted Sister, continued to smile at the camera.
He looked up at the 2nd picture my sister took and for the other four after that he just acted like nothing happened. So Jesse Williams, if you ever read this, I'm terribly sorry for the not-so-discreet attempt to capture your prettiness. I hope we didn't bother you too much. If you would prefer in the future I just go up to you and ask for the picture to get over my giddyness, I will gladly do so.
So after that rather exciting celebrity siting (rhymes are always amusing), I went back home and made myself a skirt! I only had time for a prototype, but hopefully next week I can make a final one.
Hope everyone else's Saturday was as exciting as mine (though I doubt it) 😉

Sustaining sufficient fuel flow and volume is a necessity when sourcing an adequate fuel system for your street sled or all-out drag car. A lean environment for combustion can build power to a certain extent but cross that threshold with too little fuel and you can quickly melt pistons, destroy cylinders, and create a whole world of related issues.
In our case, we ran into a similar dilemma when looking for a way to fuel our big-block in Project Brutus. For instance, we could go with a more modest approach by adding a factory-style fuel system with 3/8-inch hard lines with a stock pickup and mechanical pump. But, the small lines and factory pickup were never meant for "high" performance and there's no guarantee that the factory-style system wouldn't starve our engine for fuel. And given the robust combination, we opted for a more viable alternative.
To fix our needs, we decided to install Aeromotive's Stealth Fuel Sump kit. It came with just about everything we needed to upgrade our stock tank to a high-performance system. And get this, it's rated for up to 1,000 hp. Our complete kit came with a prefabricated fuel sump, an A1000 pump, a 100 micron filter, and included the hardware with detailed instructions.
Obviously installing a system like this requires a bit more than backyard knowledge, and having the right tools is a given. To help us with our install, we headed over to the metal guru's at Fab-tech Custom Fabrication & Welding in Chatsworth, California, where Jaime Voorhees transformed our factory tank into a fully sumped supertanker.
Quick Notes
What We Did
Install the perfect fuel system for our Elco
Bottom Line
It's straightforward, clean, and functional
Cost (Approx)
What's in the box?
So, what makes this kit so great? First, it'll virtually fit most fuel tanks. Plus, it features your choice of Aeromotive's A1000 or Eliminator fuel pump and includes a 100-micron stainless pre-pump filter inside the sump box. Secondly, the innovative baffled designs provides optimal performance by keeping the fuel pump pickup covered at all times, even during extreme driving conditions. Also, the filter element can be serviced externally without draining or dropping the tank thanks to the proprietary cam lock filter cap that shuts off fuel flow when rotated.
