Almost as long as LCD panels have allowed advertisers to cover building facades, public transportation, and just about any other urban surface with moving images, artists have appropriated the ubiquitous technology to their own aesthetic and critical ends, inserting their work into the flow of advertising information on city streets. 'Urban Screens Manchester,' a four-day conference and screening series in the English city from October 11th-14th, examines the history and potential of these interventions with talks by noted architects, urbanists, and media theorists, along with a group of projects screening on Manchester's public screens. Some of the most ambitiously scaled have been produced in affiliation with Trampoline Platform for New Media Art, an organization based in the UK's East Midlands region that promotes an international program of media work. In conjunction with the Manchester conference, it is presenting 'Do Billboards Dream of Electric Screens,' several mostly large-scale works screening in the streets, including projects by Miles Chalcraft, George Drivas, and Corine Stübi that comment on the formation of social aggregates in public spaces, as well as work by Suzanne Moxhay, Frank Abbott, and Martha Gorzycki that take a formal look at the construction of place. - William Hanley

Potato Perspective, by Asa Sonjasdotter
[...]In the long-term project Potato Perspective Asa Sonjasdotter investigates notions on biological diversity, migration and normalisation by looking into the role of potato as colonial loot, global trade goods and as a carrier of regulated, sometimes patented or criminalized breeding knowledge. When the potato came to Scandinavia hundreds of years ago it was farmers who developed varieties adapted to the Nordic climate. Today breeding is a highly specialized and regulated activity that very few farmers have knowledge of.
For the exhibition at Konsthall C, Sonjasdotter has bred new potato varieties with help from Breeder Kerstin Olsson at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Alnarp. With the project Sonjasdotter wants to discuss the juridical destination of this new genetic material. Who has the right to use it and how? Plants which have been growing at Konsthall C during the summer will be harvested on Saturday 7th, together with old variety potatoes that have been growing in the allotment "Loken" in Hokarangen. The latter will be baked and served at the opening on Saturday 4-8 pm. [More....]

The Projection of Space
Five projected works by Belgian artist David Claerbout come to Paris' Centre Pompidou on October 2nd. Known for his process that creates moving digital images from analog still photography, he works from architectural photos of modern urban and suburban buildings, using carefully-paced pixilation and other types of manipulation to allow multiple senses of each space to slowly unfold over the course of the work. He describes the slowness with which his places take shape as a resistance to the immediacy of digital production, saying, 'In a mode of production where photographic reality is increasingly preconceived, filmic duration seems to be the last man standing from an 'analogue' past.' With that motivation in mind, his more recent work has become increasingly narrative, including one of the exhibition's highlights, the 2004 project 'Bordeaux Piece.' Shot in a villa outside the French city, the disjointed revelation of the structure through images framed around two figures evokes both the temporality of spatial experience and the manipulative potential of cinema. On view through January 7th, the exhibition travels to the MIT List Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in Spring 2008 as a part of a two-year international tour.
Dog Park
Dog watching is often one of the most amusing activities during a trip to the park, and this fall at New York City's Madison Square Park the four legged beasts aren't only frolicking in the dog run, but also on video screens set up around Danny Meyer's famed Shake Shack (another very good reason to visit said park). These dogs are the cast of William Wegman's latest video installation Around the Park. Taking on the persona of various people seen in the park--business man, tourist, and park maintenece worker--Wegman and his consummate collaborators force the viewer to observe the park and its inhabitants in a different light. Always crowd pleasers, the artist's canine-centric videos transcend their initial appearance (and constant criticism) of kitch, and consistently manage to impart a deeper sense of human frailty and humor. For thirty years Wegman and his Weimaraners (who always play the straight man) have created unique videos that sit along side the work of Bruce Nauman and John Baldessari, conceptually and visually (early works by Wegman as well as Nauman and Baldessari are available through EAI). Running concurrently at Senior & Shopmaker Gallery on Madison Square Park is 'Wegman Outdoors', an exhibition of the artist's landscape photographs (which coincidently also include the dogs) dating from 1981 through 2007.
Eyes on the Prize
In the 1940s, Walt Disney teamed up with Salvador Dali to create the animated film Destino, but according to legend the film was never finished because executives at Disney thought it couldn't possibly make money (although the short 6 minute version was compiled a few years ago). Loukia Alavanou, this year's winner of the DESTE Prize (an award given to up and coming Greek artists) appears to be the progeny of this unlikely collaboration. Using Disney cartoons, other found footage, and photographs, Alavanou's discomforting animations may draw from Disney sources like 'Snow White,' but seem aesthetically far closer to Dali's surrealist ouevre. Through the use of such iconic footage, as well as old Hollywood cinema, Alavanou subverts the fantasies of true love, romance and gendered power structures that these genres served to instill. The DESTE Prize, founded by Greek collector Dakis Joannou, is juried by an international panel of artists and curators

Sweet, salty, and spicy -- with a garlic kick -- this dish captures a range of tasty flavors.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet and rub with 1 tablespoon oil. Bake until easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high. Add garlic; cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic to a paper towel to drain.
Add as much kale as will fit in the skillet; season with salt and pepper. Continue to add kale as the leaves cook down. Cook, tossing frequently until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in vinegar and red-pepper flakes.
Open each potato; add salt and pepper. Top with ricotta, kale, and garlic.

"Parkinson's Disease, Two Other Illnesses Recognized"
WASHINGTON (Oct. 13, 2009) – Relying on an independent study by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki decided to establish a service-connection for Vietnam Veterans with three specific illnesses based on the latest evidence of an association with the herbicides referred to Agent Orange.
The illnesses affected by the recent decision are B cell leukemia, such as hairy cell leukemia; Parkinson's disease; and ischemic heart disease.
Used in Vietnam to defoliate trees and remove concealment for the enemy, Agent Orange left a legacy of suffering and disability that continues to the present. Between January 1965 and April 1970, an estimated 2.6 million military personnel who served in Vietnam were potentially exposed to sprayed Agent Orange.
In practical terms, Veterans who served in Vietnam during the war and who have a "presumed" illness don't have to prove an association between their illnesses and their military service. This "presumption" simplifies and speeds up the application process for benefits.
The Secretary's decision brings to 15 the number of presumed illnesses recognized by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
"We must do better reviews of illnesses that may be connected to service, and we will," Shinseki added. "Veterans who endure health problems deserve timely decisions based on solid evidence."
Other illnesses previously recognized under VA's "presumption" rule as being caused by exposure to herbicides during the Vietnam War are:
* Acute and Subacute Transient Peripheral Neuropathy
* AL Amyloidosis
* Chloracne
* Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
* Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2)
* Hodgkin's Disease
* Multiple Myeloma
* Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
* Porphyria Cutanea Tarda
* Prostate Cancer
* Respiratory Cancers
<http://www.publichealth.va.gov/PUBLICHEALTH/exposures/agentorange/conditions/respiratory_cancers.asp> , and
* Soft Tissue Sarcoma (other than Osteosarcoma, Chondrosarcoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, or Mesothelioma)
Additional information about Agent Orange and VA's services and programs for Veterans exposed to the chemical are available at www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/agentorange.

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL MAGAZINE: September 2014
Marianne Faithfull's Gloriously Reckless Rock 'n' Roll Life
The onetime pop ingénue, style icon and muse to the Rolling Stones releases a new album on the 50th anniversary of 'As Tears Go By'
LIVE THROUGH THIS | 'This is a very personal record about things I've been going through with my loved ones,' Faithfull says of 'Give My Love to London,' out this month. 'It's about how to get through.' Illustration by Mats Gustafson
CERTAIN LIVES STAND for an entire era. Cole Porter is the Jazz Age and the crash. Alfred P. Sloan, whose reign at General Motors began when city streets were still rank with manure and ended with them awash in tail fins, is the auto age. Marianne Faithfull, who had her first hit record in 1964, a song written by a 20-year-old Mick Jagger and his friend Keith Richards, is rock 'n' roll. She was 17, a primly blond Brit who elicited aristocratic fantasies. Approaching her at a party where members of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones were in attendance, Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham said, "I'm gonna make you a star, and that's just for starters, baby!"
In the ensuing decades, Faithfull lived a multiplicity of lives, riding and, at times, nearly being destroyed by an ecstatic energy she helped unleash. She was the "It Girl." A pop ingénue in '64, a headliner in '65, a torrid one-night stand of Richards's in '66, the muse and partner of Jagger for several years, the singer who rejected Bob Dylan, Miss X at the notorious Redlands drug bust in '67, best friends with model Anita Pallenberg; dabbler in black magic and hallucinogens. She tasted and touched everything that fascinated her baby-boomer demographic. "She was always perceived as someone very brave, very cool and very much self-created," said British actress Charlotte Rampling. "She's always been her own woman, in no one's mold, and it's very impressive when a person can live that way."
Faithfull's life echoed the course of rock 'n' roll itself, which started with the playful excitement of sock hops and Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers and dead-ended, for a time, in atonal melodies and concept albums—which is just another way of saying "experience." By the '70s, she had lost it all and was on the street, a junky cadging a dose. She turned whispery, desperate.
She came back in 1979 with the titanic breakthrough record Broken English, turning her brush with the dark side into music. She had followed the classic trajectory of the hero: the rise to stardom, the split with society, the journey through a shadow land, the return. Through it all, she's remained an object of fascination, allegedly a subject for iconic songs, among them "You Can't Always Get What You Want," by the Rolling Stones. When I asked if she was the inspiration behind the Stones' "Wild Horses," she said, "I was told so, but that doesn't mean anything. Musicians do that all the time. 'This song's for you, darlin'.' "
It's been 50 years since the release of her first single, "As Tears Go By," the hit that began it all. A new record—Give My Love to London—will mark the anniversary. If you want to experience the passage of decades, play the new album beside her first numbers. In the early '60s, her voice was not faux-naïf but the real thing—simple, childlike—which was part of its appeal, the fantasy of innocence corrupted. No one has ever been younger than Faithfull was in 1964. And no one's ever been older than she is on the new record. She's a dance-hall singer, moaning in a dive on the edge of town, her voice rough from years of smoking, shouting, staying out all night in the rain—a wisdom-filled rasp. It's the quality that made those late Frank Sinatra records, after his voice was shot, electrifying. It's not just the songs you hear; it's the life—though the song titles alone tell a story: "The Price of Love," "Give My Love to London," "Love More or Less," "I Get Along Without You Very Well." Here's a singer with her eyes on the horizon. "This is a very personal record about things I've been going through with my loved ones," she said. "It's about how to get through."
Faithfull is 67, splits her time between Dublin and Paris, smokes (e-cigarettes), walks, sings, writes, thinks. Though no longer the sex symbol she once was, she's still beautiful. I caught up with her by phone in Paris. She'd broken a hip this summer, which, along with another injury, gave her time to reflect. "Six months on your back will do that," she told me. "You become introverted. You start thinking about things, too many things."
We talked about her childhood growing up in a small town just north of Liverpool. Her mother was an Austro-Hungarian aristocrat, Baroness Erisso, whose great uncle, Baron Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, wrote Venus in Furs, the book that gave rise to the term masochist; her father was a British intelligence officer in World War II, later a professor of Italian literature. Despite this pedigree, her childhood was tough. Her parents split when she was six years old; there was never much money. Faithfull was educated at a convent, where she learned the basics of this world and the next.
"Were you Catholic?"
"Not originally, no, but I had to become a Catholic. I couldn't have survived otherwise. I had been a very bright pupil in the sixth form at the convent. I was preparing to go to university or art school or maybe music school. And then—well, I was discovered, for God's sake! I wouldn't have been human if I hadn't wanted to get out of home."
The first big moment came in 1964, at a launch party for a teen singer named Adrienne Posta, a famous soiree of that swinging London moment; Faithfull's social circle and her connections to the city's exploding music scene had brought her to a party where several young rock stars were in attendance. And here comes the Stones' exotic boy manager, approaching the convent girl through a haze of cigarette smoke. "Andrew f—ing Oldham, excuse my French," Faithfull recalls, laughing. "He was fascinating. I had never met a man who wore makeup, never met anybody who talked that way: 'I'm gonna make you a star, baby.' I had watched Sweet Smell of Success and all those Laurence Harvey films, so I did understand where he got his persona."
" "Marianne has always been her own woman, in no one's mold. It's very impressive when a person can live that way." "
A week later, Faithfull was at a recording session with Oldham and engineer Mike Leander. According to legend, Oldham had locked Jagger and Richards in a kitchen in Chelsea a few months before, saying, "Don't come out till you've written a song." It took them ages to figure out how to compose for the Stones. Their early numbers were ballads, melancholy tunes. Oldham farmed them out to other clients. "I first heard ["As Tears Go By"] in the studio," Faithfull said. "It wasn't meant to be the single; it was meant to be the B side. It was some scam of Andrew's whereby I was meant to sing an awful song by Lionel Bart. It was obviously wrong. Mike Leander said, 'Why don't we try the B side?' There must've been an acetate of Mick and Keith. I heard that once or twice, then went in and sang. It was magic."
Faithfull has rerecorded that song since, finding new resonance. She's grown into the song's sadness as she's aged.
It is the evening of the day.
I sit and watch the children play.
Does the 50th anniversary strike her as significant, or is it just a number? "It's very significant," she said, "because it's not just that 'As Tears Go By' was released; it was also the beginning of a completely different life. It's when I became a recording artiste, as they say, with an e on the end."
Faithfull has known Jagger and Richards since she was a girl and they were boys. Brian Jones, a founding member of the Stones, was dead before his 28th birthday, but she knew him in his last days. She was already in a serious relationship with a gallery owner named John Dunbar (his Indica Gallery is where John Lennon and Yoko Ono would first meet). She married Dunbar when she was 18, and the couple had a young son, which did not stop her from hooking up first with Richards, and then, later, in a more meaningful way, with Jagger. For a time, she drifted between Dunbar and Jagger, sometimes bringing her son along, sometimes leaving him behind. By 1967, she was connected in the public mind with Jagger. They were a reigning couple of the era, the F. Scott and Zelda of swinging London. For a time, tired of motels and theaters, she gave up touring for a life inside the Stones' inner circle—the band had achieved a remarkable fusion of mainstream and avant-garde. They threw parties, took drugs and had so much fun. It was a golden moment that unfurled like a day that seems to never end, until it does.
For Faithfull, the turning point, her Waterloo, came in '67 with the drug bust at Redlands, Richards's country home in Sussex, on the southern coast of England. It was a tabloid scandal that stands as a high watermark of the acid age: Jagger and Richards and various hangers-on getting bombed on LSD in the company of a woman who, because she was not named, became the mystery—the Miss X—at the core of it all.
"Redlands was my moment of truth, when I realized I was in a situation I couldn't stand," she told me. "It had been fun for a long time, and I guess we all made the mistake: We believed nothing could touch us, completely forgetting about working-class and middle-class envy, how people would feel. It didn't even occur to me in my arrogance."
Faithfull was not arrested, but Jagger and Richards and two other friends were. There was a tremendous trial—almost a show trial—that cemented the Stones' reputation as rock 'n' roll outlaws. Jagger and Richards spent a night in prison before public sentiment helped secure their freedom. Crucial was the publication of an editorial in the conservative London Times under the headline, "Who Breaks a Butterfly on a Wheel?" Though she was supposed to be ashamed, Faithfull showed up in court to support Mick and Keith but also to demonstrate her defiance.
Of course, there's the pose, and then there's the way you feel. "I got terrible hate letters," Faithfull told me. "I'll never forget. The most awful articles in the newspapers. I was only 20. I believed everything, took it all to heart. I got very depressed. Mick and Keith, God bless 'em, went on to be bigger, better, stronger, brighter, more wicked, more naughty, more powerful. But as a woman—it was completely against the rules. We scuttered on for quite a time after that, trying to pretend it was OK and we could still have fun, but I was beginning to feel bad about myself. And then, you know, I got the usual sort of problems every woman gets with Mick Jagger. I simply couldn't stand it any longer, all the different women and all that stuff."
The psychic break came in the summer of '69, when Brian Jones, who'd been kicked out of the band weeks before and was suffering from paranoia, drowned in a swimming pool. This began a run of dead rock stars: Brian, Jimi, Janis, Jim. They were all 27 when they died. After Jones's death, Faithfull and Jagger flew to Australia to appear in Tony Richardson's movie Ned Kelly, about an outlaw bank robber. Faithfull took sleeping pills before the flight, took more when she got to the hotel. At some point, she woke up, jet-lagged, walked dead-eyed to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. It was Brian's face looking back. He beckoned her to join him inside the glass. The windows were sealed, so, instead of jumping, she took a fistful of pills and lay down beside the sleeping rock star.
"It was an awful thing to do to Mick, to Tony Richardson, to my mother, to my little tiny son who was in England, to myself," she said. "I do remember having these feelings of 'I'll show them! They'll realize when I'm dead they shouldn't have done that!' Completely forgetting you'll be dead! I understood it years later when I had a good shrink in Boston and she gave me an essay Freud wrote on melancholy. In it he describes insanity of the suicide, where the id, the ego and the superego split. That's when you actually see yourself dying, jumping out the window, whatever it is you choose. And then you're at your own funeral listening to what people say about you."
Days went by as she slept. In a dream, she met Brian, who told her how lonely he'd been. She walked him to the edge of nowhere, let him go. She woke up in a hospital with Mick and her mother at her side. "I had taken 150 Tuinals and was unconscious for six days," she said.
FOR FAITHFULL, the period after the near suicide meant a switch from mind-expanding drugs to opiates, from a quest for experience to a search for numbness, escape. A personal disaster for Faithfull, the hangover that followed the '60s was also part of a general malaise: Vietnam, the slide into dissolution, Watergate, OPEC, bell-bottoms. At some point, Faithfull became too self-destructive. In her memoir, she recounts a conversation she overheard between Jagger and Ahmet Ertegun, the founder of Atlantic Records. "There's only one thing to do," Ertegun told Jagger. "I've seen a lot of heartbreak with junkies. Believe me, old friend, it wrecks the lives of everybody around them, as well. It's a bottomless pit, and she'll drag you into it unless you let her go."
" "Marianne has lived so many lives already, and has many more to live." "
Jagger and Faithfull broke up. A short time later, while in a London taxi, she learned of Jagger's engagement to Bianca Pérez-Mora Macias. Faithfull got out, got drunk, got arrested, and then spent the night in jail. From there, it was down the rabbit hole that led to the street. She lost touch with friends, family. Most painfully, she lost custody of her son. At times, she seemed like the ragged princess of the Dylan song "Like A Rolling Stone," strung out on streets she once commanded like a queen. Yet, through it all, she remained true to her quest to sample every kind of experience. "For me, being a junkie was an admirable life," she wrote later. "It was total anonymity, something I hadn't known since I was 17. As a street addict in London, I finally found it. I had no telephone, no address. Nobody knew me from Adam." Somehow, she survived.
When she found her way back in 1979 with Broken English, it was with a new sound, a new voice—gritty, wizened, experienced. "It was another person you heard on that record," Rampling said. "And it spoke so clearly about what she had been through and how she had lived." A string of great records followed: Strange Weather; Before the Poison; Easy Come, Easy Go; Horses and High Heels. Her late albums are her best—powerful because they suggest a life beyond music—and stand as a distillation. The pure ingénue at the beginning of the '60s, the hippie chick by the end; the heroin girl at the beginning of '70s, the proto-grunge girl at the end—Faithfull has always been a personification of her time.
These days, she stands for the rock 'n' roll generation grown old and dignified. "Marianne has lived so many lives already, and has many more to live," Yoko Ono wrote in response to emailed questions. "She always keeps her chin up. As time goes by, she just gets better and better." That's her new record: chaos recollected in the calm after the storm.
"Everyone has to go through it themselves," Faithfull told me, laughing. "But, just to be kind, I will give you my motto: 'Never let the buggers grind you down.'"

19 Jul Rope Practice Diary-New Objectives
I wrote down a couple of objectives for the ropes; what I wanted to focus on in order to develop my ropework. I guess it is time to evaluate and develop new objectives as the time goes on.
The objectives then were:
Muscle memory to solidify foundational elements
Visualisation- why I do what I do and think constructively about the ties.
Connection- was a questionmark then.
The main objectives on the foundations, especially in regards to the TK and Kinoko hip harness was to tie this with a focus on getting it right, tensions, placement and consistency. I'm most pleased with how the development of learning the Kinoko harness has worked out, both in my hands and in my mind. I understand why I want to do what I do with the harness, tying it goes smoother and smoother and more often than not, placement and tensions work out on the person I'm tying it on, which to be fair, is the most important bit. Every once in a while I tie it slowly, slowly, in order to keep track of myself and not getting into any bad habits. Slowly does it also for the TK. Back then I thought I was going to focus on the three rope TK, but in reality, it is the 2 rope TK that has been getting most of the attention, and it has really improved. But in the same time I've noticed tying the 'third rope' is still somewhat hesitant and not at all as smooth and efficient as it can be. Thus; the third rope will get much more attention now, especially in regards to muscle memory and efficiency of movement. I want to be able to use it if I need to, as well as exploring a couple of other versions of it, but for now, focus will be placed on the third rope. Same thing here, tying slowly but with effiency. After a couple of good pointers from Peter Slemrian, I think I'm going to head in the right direction when it comes to this, especially in regards to a couple of tiny movements of the fingers which will improve the flow.
Speaking of Peter Slemrian and his advice; I have finally a game plan for smoother sailing on my suspension lines. For some time I've felt like I have fumbled too much, had far too messy lines and felt line handling being somewhat laborious when it should not. The last couple of weeks I've been extra attentive when it has come to this; avoiding or cleaning up the mess and still being secure, but it wasn't until the past weekend when Peter saw me tie and then pointed out how I was actually working against myself and making it more difficult than it really is that I had some practical tips that I can move forward with. Now there is something I can do on my own, and that is to practice handling my suspensionline. In this I will utilise the technique he demonstrated and made me test, over and over again. Extra attention towards not pulling the rope through the half hitch towards me, but pass me, like it is driving by. Also, being precise and a bit more thorough with the second half hitch will make me feel more comfortable, rather than stressing around.
After the workshops with Kazami Ranki, I have tried to really remember what he told me, which was essentially that I needed to relax a bit more. "Quick hands, slow heart". This is the next thing to focus on, but not speed for speeds sake,but to rest into what ever it is that I, to mentally focus and trust that which is in front of me. Have a long road to travel on this one, and it will probably be a part of the overall objective for all the rope work. But it is a good one to hang on to.
A challenge just received from when I went across the Atlantic is to start to dare to move away a bit more. Cannon and I was discussing rigging styles and asked each other in what ways our rigging would improve. He asked me to try to step back a bit, to not always be right up close and I think there is something there. As much as closeness is important, I need to remember that it is not about vicinity but intimacy. If I work properly, the rope is the link, not my direct body. Indirectly he reminded me of that, hope the rope is the link, or the conduit; let it do it's work. Rest into it, take a step away; create some space around the bottom, or even hesitation. Did exactly this in a session last weekend, actually as a start of a tie, standing and waiting behind the rope bottom almost in the other end of the room. Rest assured I will continue having this in mind as it produced very interesting results.
Last but not least, I want to work on angles. For this, I will go back to the classic yoko zuri, the Osada Ryu style, rather than the Kinoko style. The one which has the hip harness is spectacular from so many perspectives, but I found myself becoming lazy and not thinking enough about levels and angles in suspensions. It is easy to do something quite random, but I need to develop a better eye if there is something special I wish to achieve with this. So I will play around with and see how different angles in the side suspension work on the bottom.
To sum up I shall focus on:
The third rope on the TK (efficiency and stability)
Better control on my suspensionlines
Quicker hands, a slow and focussed heart
Playing with connection that is not based on actual vincinity- daring to take a couple of steps back.
Yoko zuri- levels and angles bootcamp.
All with the same engagement in tying it slowly and really focus on intent and how come I do things. At this time, I'm just happy to be back on track 🙂

Medical marijuana bill stalls as effort to outlaw bongs progresses
Rep says bill narrowly drafted
A Florida lawmaker sponsoring a bill to legalize medical marijuana admits the proposal's chances in the current legislative session are "slim to none."
State Rep. Katie Edwards, D-Plantation, said Monday the Republican-led Legislature missed an opportunity to debate an issue gaining wider acceptance from Floridians.
The bill would allow patients with certain medical conditions to possess and use marijuana strictly for medicinal purposes under a doctor's supervision.
Edwards said she's not giving up the fight and will keep promoting the issue.
She said that people stricken with cancer, Lou Gehrig's disease, epilepsy and other diseases shouldn't be treated like criminals for using marijuana to ease their pain or side effects.
She said the bill is narrowly drafted to apply only to those in medical need.
Also, the Senate version of a House bill that would outlaw the sale of marijuana pipes, known as "bongs," has cleared a key legislative panel.
The Senate Criminal Justice committee approved the bill unanimously on Monday.
State law now allows certain retailers to sell the pipes if at least 75 percent of their sales come from tobacco products or they have no more than 25 percent of certain drug paraphernalia sales.
The Senate and House bills would eliminate that exception and make any sale a first-degree misdemeanor. Second and subsequent violations would jump to a third-degree felony.
Rep. Darryl Rouson is sponsoring the effort in the House. Rouson is a self-described former drug user who wants to "take away the convenience" for addicts.

Welcome back to Teen Mom Week in Review, people! This Monday's post is jam-packed with news considering last week was a holiday, so get excited to see what our fave reality peeps have been up to this week. From weddings to sexual confessions to brand new tattoos, it's pretty juicy…
Photos: The Teen Mom Cast and Their Adorable Pets
Farrah Abraham, as we know, had her big 2-2 last Friday, and she celebrated in a way that only Farrah Abraham would—at a stop on her XXX exotica tour. Farrah had a paid appearance at night club in Florida to ring in her birthday, where we hear she charged fans $20 to take a picture with her. Whaaaaa? But clearly Farrah had a good time, posting this drunken video to Keek at 2am where she says she doesn't like boys anymore and had some birthday fun with some ladies. Moving right along…
Photos: 22 Things Farrah Abraham Needs For Her 22 Birthday
We all know that Kailyn Lowry and her hubby Javi Marroquin are really into tattoos, as this new picture below can prove. But now, Kailyn is planning to get the face of one of her dogs added to her sleeve! We knew that Kail and Javi were pet people, but what do you think? Too far?
While Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra are getting ready for next week's premiere of Couples Therapy, they were boozing it up this weekend at Tyler's mom, Kim's, wedding! Look at the adorbs pics of the happy couple and of the other couples and their friends. Think they invited April and Butch? Geniuinely curious.
And speaking of weddings, Corey Simms tweeted that next week is his and Miranda's big day! We knew they were getting married in June, but now it's official that Leah's ex is tying the knot with his (gorgeous) new girlfriend in just a few days. Cannot WAIT to see the pics of the twins in their flower girl outfits, you guys!
And what's a weekly news recap without some Jenelle Evans drama? Here's the twist though—this time, it has nothing to do with Kieffer, Gary or Courtland. Instead, Andrew, Jace's biological father, is speaking out about how Jenelle is an unfit mother and how Jenelle never allows him to see his son. From watching Teen Mom 2 it seemed like Andrew wanted nothing to do with Jace, so now we're just confused. Whose side do you believe?
Oh, and while we're talking about Teen Mom 2, could a season 5 be in the works after all? Jenelle tweeted on June 2 that she was hanging out with her director, and unless she's got a porno a la Farrah that we don't know about, director refers to the director of Teen Mom 2. Here's to hoping this isn't a joke because we need these gals back on our TVs pronto.
OK! News: Is Jenelle Evans Pregnant Again?!
What do you think is the most shocking story in this week's news? Do you think Teen Mom 2 is coming back for season 5? Tweet us @OKMagazine or leave a comment on our Teen Mom Facebook page!

Hempstead fire claims life of another victim
The fire that roared through a Hempstead apartment complex Saturday, killing an 8-year-old boy and forcing hundreds of residents from adjoining buildings into the bitter cold, claimed another victim Sunday.
Guadalupe Ramirez was pronounced dead at Nassau University Medical Center at 8:25 a.m., Nassau police confirmed. Ramirez lived in the same one-bedroom, third-floor apartment where the fire started and the boy was killed. His identity was not released Sunday. Ramirez was one of five other residents who lived in the apartment. Three children and a woman also lived there, said Nassau Police Insp. Kenneth Lack.
The blaze started at about 6 a.m. Saturday just as the blizzard was winding down. More than 250 residents from the burning building and five other buildings in the complex were forced from their homes.
Many evacuees, some still in pajamas and wrapped in blankets, stood in the cold. More than 70 residents took shelter at a recreation center at Kennedy Park on Saturday. The Red Cross provided assistance.
The displaced residents were not allowed back yesterday and won't be able to return today, said Hempstead Village Mayor Wayne J. Hall, adding that many are staying in the sports complex at Kennedy Park.
The cause of the fire was undetermined, but not deemed suspicious, James Hickman, division supervisor with the Nassau fire marshal's office, said Saturday. Officials with the Dorchester Organization, which manages the buildings, said they are cooperating with the investigation.
Many of those displaced were seen retrieving personal items from their homes.
Victor Rivera, 44, of Hempstead, lives in one of the adjoining buildings next to 17 St. Paul's Road N., where the fire started.
Rivera's apartment was not damaged, but he was told he could not enter the complex until crews checked on utilities and the structures of the buildings to make sure it was safe.
Sunday, he stood along St. Paul's Road N., with his bags packed inside the back of his minivan.
Rivera knew the victim as "Lupita" Ramirez and was shocked when he heard the news that she had died after he spoke to her mother, Ana, in a call.
He said the boy that died was Ramirez's son, but Nassau police would not confirm the identity of the boy pending a DNA analysis.
"I'm really sorry to hear this," he said to her over the phone in Spanish. "If you need anything please, this is my number, take it down and call me if you need anything."--With Robert Brodsky
and Deon J. Hampton

Where are the gay animals on BBC?
Posted by Jim Lopata February 16, 2013 08:31 AM
Fowl play in the Galapagos (photo: James Lopata)
A British academic is accusing BBC nature host David Attenborough of ignoring homosexual animal behavior in his documentaries.
The UK news organization The Sun reports that University of East Anglia Professor Brett Mills:
claims Sir David's BBC documentaries focus on family values in animals and shun "alternative interpretations".
Sir David, 86, described male chimps hugging as "friendly affection", while male sandpiper birds filmed circling each other were being "aggressive".
Mills told UK media outlet The Telegraph:
"The central role in documentary stories of pairing, mating and raising offspring commonly rests on assumptions of heterosexuality within the animal kingdom.
"This is despite a wealth of scientific evidence which demonstrates that many non-human species have complex and changeable forms of sexual activity, with heterosexuality only one of many possible options."
Both news outlets said that the BBC declined to comment.

Bobby Brown shot down reports about his and Whitney Houston's teen daughter Bobbi Kristina on the "Today" show Thursday, dismissing rumors that the teen was doing drugs.
"She's fine," the R&B singer told Matt Lauer on Thursday in the second half of their interview — Brown's first since his ex-wife died in February. "She knows that her mom is gone, and she knows that she has to live."
Whitney Houston's family has reportedly been worried about the 19-year-old, who was recently seen smoking marijuana and was rumored to have done other drugs.
"I would always be worried about that," Brown told Lauer — but right now, he said, it's not an immediate concern.
"I know what she is actually doing. I think people are making assumptions of what my daughter is and how strong she is," he said. "I am her father. She talks to me about everything."
Everything includes, he said, her love life. Bobbi Kristina has been rumored to be dating Nick Gordon, a close family friend with whom she grew up and who has been called her adopted brother.
Bobby Brown told Lauer Thursday that he "would expect her to have a boyfriend" but shot down rumors of her relationship with Gordon, saying he had asked his daughter if the two were romantically involved and learned they were "definitely not."
Brown himself, meanwhile, faces troubles of his own. He was arrested last month on DUI charges, and he said that while he does drink, he is very much sober from narcotics.
"I'm living the life that I want to live," he said. "They can doubt all they want."
He said he has an answer for those who would speculate that things will end badly for him: "I say: You got the wrong one."
Brown's other children — three from previous marriages — also joined for part of the interview to defend their father's reputation. Bobbi Kristina was invited to join them but declined, Lauer said.
"Everyone has their ups and downs," daughter LaPrincia said. "You can't always be judged for that."
Eldest son Landon dismissed his father's reputation as a function of his stage presence.
"The bad boy image is just a part of the performance," he said.
The family also addressed the controversy surrounding its attendance at Whitney Houston's funeral, where Bobby Brown said his children were barred by security from sitting with him where he was assigned.
Brown said that because he wasn't willing to sit separately from his children and felt "disrespected" by the security personnel, they simply left early.

We are saddened by the terrible suffering in Peru as a result of the earthquake last week. However, we are very happy to confirm last week's report that our priests serving in Peru through the Missionary Society of St. James are all safe. We are also very grateful for the parishes in the Archdiocese of Boston that are participating in the special collection this weekend for earthquake relief. The archdiocese will collect the money and send it to Catholic Relief Services, which is already offering relief in Peru.
Boston Catholics are known for their generosity when requested to respond to natural disasters. Most recently, the archdiocese collected $1.8 million to support the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
When these tragedies occur in countries where there is already so much poverty, like Peru, an earthquake is a great disaster for a family. They can lose everything and will not have insurance or any other way of restoring what they have lost. Earthquakes often mean those in the affected region have no livelihood. The places where the people worked are gone. So it really is a disaster, not just for those who perish and physically suffer but for the people who live on. Survivors have to live with the consequences, which are very far reaching and have long-term effects for individuals and for families.

This week I have been attending a retreat for the bishops in our Ecclesiastical Province, consisting of the Archdioceses of Hartford and Boston and our suffragan sees, that include all six New England states. The annual retreat, held in August, is also attended by the Eastern rite bishops. It is always a wonderful experience.
This year 20 bishops were able to join us.
The retreat took place at St. Edmund's Retreat Center on Enders Island in Mystic, Conn. in the diocese of Norwich.
The center takes up an entire — but small — island that is joined to a larger island, Mason Island, by a causeway. The larger island is joined to the mainland by another causeway. The Edmundites Fathers run the retreat center, located an hour and a half drive from Boston.
The scenery is magnificent
The director there, Father Thomas Hoar, SSE, is doing a wonderful job. In the last couple of years, they have built a new chapel and done a lot to refurbish the property.
A beautiful stained glass depicting Jesus in the boat
The Edmundite Fathers have done a wonderful job restoring the property.
It looks beautiful
A statue of St. Edmund
They do extraordinary work with promoting the Catholic artists, and they do a lot of work with 12-step programs as well. They have retreats and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for people who are suffering from addictions to alcohol, drugs or gambling. Many priests and religious go there for spiritual direction and days of recollection. There are many volunteers who work with Father Tom in maintaining the retreat house. It really is a wonderful spiritual center for the region, and it is a great blessing.
At this year's regional bishops' retreat, Bishop Arthur Serratelli of Paterson, N.J. was our retreat master.
Bishop Serratelli
Bishop Arthur is a scripture scholar, and he based his conferences on the first and second book of Samuel. As I told my secretary, Father Brian Bachand, on my way back to Boston, his retreat could have been called, "Everything you wanted to know about Samuel but were afraid to ask…" Lol.
Not only was it a scholarly presentation that broke open the text for us, but Bishop Arthur also made many very practical suggestions that came out of that experience of God's people and the prophet Samuel and king David. All of the bishops were very grateful for the retreat because we all know how hard it is for a bishop to take the time to give a retreat and to be away from his diocese to do that. It was a great service to the bishops, and we were very, very pleased by his conferences that were so enlightening.

Today, the State Officers of the Catholic Daughters of America met with me to keep me informed of their future plans and activities. During the meeting they also presented me with a $10,000 check for the pro-life ministries. I am very grateful for their generous contribution. That donation will go a long way to supporting all of the pro-life work here in the archdiocese.
The State Officers of the Catholic Daughters of the America, accompanied
by Father Kevin O'Leary, Pastor of St. Peter's in Cambridge
and chaplain of the Massachusetts chapter.
The Catholic Daughters of the Americas is a charitable organization that participates in the religious, charitable and educational apostolates of the Church. They are the largest national organization of Catholic women in the world, dedicated to strengthening their spiritual life. The organization was founded in 1903 by the Knights of Columbus in Utica, New York. Since their creation they have expanded and are currently present in 42 states, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, the Virgin Islands and Guam.

Also today, I was interviewed by the Hispanic television station Univision 27 about the special collection to help Peru that will take place in all parishes of the archdiocese this weekend.
Univision anchor Maria González and her crew get ready
I shared with them our concern for the victims of the quake and my conviction that not only Peruvians living in Boston but all Catholics will make sacrifices to contribute to the collection for their brothers and sisters in Peru.
During the interview
– – –
For the photo of the week, I want to share this light moment with the crew from Univision. They presented me with a miniature soccer ball with the local station Univision 27 logo. I was very grateful that they wanted to help us communicate our concern for Peru to their Hispanic viewers around New England and around the nation.

10 New Appointments Boost Oman Air's Marshalling Team at Muscat International Airport
The positions were widely advertised throughout Oman and each vacancy has been taken up by an Omani national, followed by interviews in which candidates were required to demonstrate fluency in both Arabic and English language.
The appointments strengthen Oman Air's policy of Omanisation, which provides employment and career development opportunities for citizens of the Sultanate and helps to build a sustainable skills base within the country.
After an intensive and successful, two-week training period conducted by Bahrain Airport Authority in line with ICAO international standards, each Marshaller will be responsible for safely guiding aircraft to their allotted bays, using hand signals and fluorescent bats during daylight operations and fluorescent torches at night. Contact with the control tower is maintained by radio throughout the process.
Ali Redha Mohammed Baqir, Senior Manager Third Party and Technical Support of Oman Air Line Maintenance Engineering Division commented:
"We are delighted to welcome ten new Marshallers to the Third Party Line Maintenance team within Oman Air's Engineering Division and we wish them every success within their chosen careers.
"Each Marshaller will hold a high degree of responsibility and is a much-valued part of Oman Air's expert staff. Furthermore, the new team members are making an invaluable contribution to Oman Air's drive to employ as many Omanis as possible at all levels of the organisation.

A PHILANTHROPIC TWIST: "Crocker" is a name long associated with the Bay Area, but the Crocker family set down roots to the south, too. Stonepine Estate in Carmel Valley is a Crocker abode, although "abode" may be too humble a word: The 1920s home definitely can be called a mansion and nothing less. But it is no longer a private home but a getaway that's very much in the luxury class (as the word "estate" in the name would imply). There's a fresh twist in Stonepine's nearly century-old story, however: Gordon and Noel Hentschel, the owners behind the posh property, are putting an interesting choice in the guest's corner. And that is this: Choose how 20% of your lodging fee will be donated.
NINE CHARITIES: The Hentschels have selected a nonet of organizations, collectives which will now receive one-fifth of Stonepine's lodging and site fees. The SPCA of Monterey County, Migrant Clinicians Network, and Mustang Heritage Foundation are three of the nine.
THE PACKAGES: There's a trio of new packages on offer. Estate Experience, Carmel Valley Wine Discovery, and Equestrian Immersion. Prices kick off at $1,150 for two nights for a two people; luxe breakfast and a fancy dinner and several elegant extras are in the fine print.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
THE ESTATE: The property is quintessential romantic 1920s California, or the dream of California that so many West-lookers held in that era. And the land? Stonepine calls nearly 400 acres of Carmel Valley home, so think of those iconic, soft, tree-dotted, oh-so-Carmel-y vistas.
OF NOTE: Every organization chosen by Stonepine is 501(c)(3) qualified, meaning it is tax deductible.

The Living Ocean and Coast: EXPO 2012 Yeosu Korea
UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (UNESCO-IOC) is involved with several activities at the EXPO 2012 Yeosu Korea: the Expo itself to raise awareness on ocean issues and solutions, the Yeosu Projects to support developing countries in their efforts to cope with marine-related challenges, and the Yeosu Declaration to promote greater stewardship of the marine environment and improved international cooperation.
EXPO 2012 Yeosu Korea is the first international exposition focusing on the ocean, coasts and islands in international recognition of their role. The main message of the expo is that the well-being of humankind is linked to that of the ocean, which is under threat: global cooperation is needed. Sea level rise, the loss of biodiversity, acidification and pollution are only a few dangers threatening our seas and coasts. Restoring sustainable life to our marine environment is the responsibility of the entire global community. The Expo will present current knowledge and technology advancements concerning the ocean and coast to a broad audience and identify ways to resolve challenges facing the ocean. Visual displays and live presentations will introduce a selection of UNESCO-IOC activities to the ten million visitors expected to participate in the expo from 12 May to 12 August 2012.
The Ocean and Coasts Best Practices Area, where technologies and systems which contribute to our understanding of the oceans and coasts will be displayed, includes a presentation of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS). Through the exhibit, visitors will be able to appreciate the essential need for ocean measurements and the excitement of the new technologies utilized by GOOS. This exhibit includes a display of the Korean coastal observation system and was created with the kind support of the Government of Korea and Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute (KORDI).
GOOS is the overarching coordination tool for the observation systems, implemented jointly by UNESCO-IOC and WMO. It provides accurate descriptions of the present state of the oceans, including living resources; continuous forecasts of the future conditions of the sea, and the basis for forecasts of climate change, as well as observations, modelling and analysis of marine and ocean variables to support operational ocean services worldwide.
UN Pavilion 'Oceans and Coasts: Connecting Our Lives, Ensuring Our Future- The Choice is Yours'
As one of the main UN agencies dedicated to ocean and marine matters, UNESCO-IOC provided significant inputs for the concept and content of the UN Pavilion. It features a vibrant "blue world" - the oceans and coasts that are so crucial for human well-being and for a smoothly functioning global economy. The displays highlights the invaluable services and ecosystem functions provided by oceans and coasts - from the food we eat to the oxygen we breathe. There will be film showings, painting competitions and lecture series aimed at raising public awareness and promoting creativity and individual action for healthier oceans and coasts. Visitors can also meet with various UN staff and discuss issues of interest to them.
The Pavilion also showcases the joint efforts of 24 UN agencies, funds, programmes and international organizations to protect the beauty and bounty of the marine environment. It will feature a two-week exhibit showcasing UNESCO's activities, created with the kind support of the Korean National Commission for UNESCO.
The Yeosu Declaration
The legacy of Expo 2012 will be the Yeosu Declaration. UNESCO-IOC is participating in the review process of the declaration and will have an active role in the Yeosu Declaration Forum in August 2012. The Yeosu Declaration aims to promote greater stewardship of the marine environment, sharing knowledge and understanding of how oceans and coastal resources can be enjoyed in a sustainable manner for present and future generations. One of its key messages to the global community is the importance of marine resources to a new green economy. The declaration calls for cooperation among the international community in marine environment conservation efforts worldwide.
UNESCO-IOC is also organizing substantial science and coordination meetings in parallel to the EXPO:
- Ninth Intergovernmental Session of the IOC Sub-Commission for the Western Pacific
8 - 12 May 2012, Busan, Korea
- Second International Symposium Effects of Climate Change on the World's Oceans
15 – 19 May 2012, Yeosu, Korea
- Fourth Session of the Joint WMO-IOC Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology
23 - 31 May 2012, Yeosu, Korea

Has anyone else ever reached a point on their path through MA when they have for whatever reason either lost interest or motivation or have completely stopped training. I don't mean the occasional "oh its cold and raining I won't go training tonight". I am talking seriously lost all motivation.
I decided to leave the Shotokan club and instructor I was training with (3 times per week in addition to doing another system once a week and personal training in the gym). The reason for my leaving was that I came to a realisation that as I had no respect for the association then why would I want to attain 1st dan with said organisation. My old instructor was supportive of this decision (he has had many grievances with said association over the years) but was sad to loose me a student / club member.
I spent the following 3 months visiting and training at numerous clubs in London where I work and across Kent, some good, some not so , I even sampled other styles Kyokushinkai, Goju, and Wado to name a few, however none seemed to tick all the boxes. I have'nt attended formal class training since January, I keep saying and meaning to get back on the horse but like Austin Powers I seem to have lost my mojo.

Judge to Scientology: Leader must testify in Texas case
NEW BRAUNFELS — Despite the best efforts Wednesday during four hours of argument by his blue-chip local legal team, Scientology leader David Miscavige apparently will be coming to Texas for a deposition in a high-profile harassment case.
Miscavige is one of the defendants named in a suit filed last year by Monique Rathbun, a non-Scientologist, who claims she was subjected to a four-year campaign of dirty tricks, harassment and surveillance by the church.
She's married to Mark Rathbun, a former first lieutenant to Miscavige who left the church in 2004 and five years later began speaking out against it, triggering a swift response.
According to the lawsuit, the aggressive harassment by a bizarre church unit called the Squirrel Busters began in Ingleside on the Bay in 2009 and followed the Rathbuns when they moved to Comal County last year.
The suit claims Miscavige was behind the campaign, and as his lawyers made clear Wednesday in strenuous argument, he has emerged as the central figure in the fight.
"I can't emphasize enough how opposed we are to having Mr. Miscavige sit for a deposition in this case," Scientology lawyer Lamont Jefferson told District Judge Dib Waldrip.
"This is the end game. From Day 1, I said their whole goal in this case is not to find out if Mrs. Rathbun has been harassed, it's to depose Mr. Miscavige," he said.
But in declining to reconsider his December order that Miscavige be deposed to determine the court's jurisdiction, Judge Waldrip appeared to be even more convinced there are sufficient grounds to make him testify about his contacts to Texas and to the Rathbun case.
"As I said in December, I think there is enough and I've not been persuaded to the contrary. Actually, I think there is potentially more now," Waldrip said at the close of the hearing.
In arguing that the longtime church leader should be spared, Jefferson raised a litany of reasons, ranging from constitutional grounds to Miscavige's status as an clesiastical leader of a major religion, to his own brief sworn statement that he had nothing to do with the whole matter.
"What's the cost to the First Amendment? What's the cost to freedom of religion? There is far more harm than good done by forcing Mr. Miscavige to take a deposition," Jefferson argued.
And, he said, the plaintiff has produced no evidence that Miscavige was involved.
"They've done a ton of discovery and none of their discovery and none of it supports their theory that Mr. Miscavige had anything to do with the operation against the Rathbuns," Jefferson said.
"They say everyone is lying, but they have no evidence to support their bald-faced accusation," he said.
Ray Jeffrey, Rathbun's lead lawyer, repeatedly has accused the defendants, who include the Church of Scientology and its Religious Technology Center, of providing incomplete, misleading or false answers to discovery questions.
And he said the defense lawyers have been equally uncooperative.
"It's like trying to punch your way out of a paper bag," he told the judge.
And Jeffrey ridiculed Jefferson's depiction of Miscavige as a high-minded religious figure, or comparisons to corporate leaders such as Michael Dell or Jack Welch, who should be protected from frivolous attempts to depose them.
"He literally beats people and imprisons them in the compound out in the desert," he said, adding that it defies everything known about Miscavige to think he was not involved in the campaign against the Rathbuns.
To support their claims, the plaintiffs filed with the court 20 pages of text messages from 2007 that they claim shows Miscavige's personal involvement in an Office of Special Affairs operation against a BBC reporter who was trying to do a report on the church.
"I reported daily to Mr. Miscavige on my activities (and) Miscavige sent me daily, detailed written orders concerning the assignment by encrypted email as well as routine phone calls," wrote Michael Rinder, the former official who recorded the texts on his Blackberry.
The texts purport to show Miscavige haranguing Rinder and another operative with a stream of abusive, obscenity-laden orders on how to thwart the reporter.
"This shows incredible micro-managing and browbeating of high-level OSA people in dealing with external threat," Jeffrey said.
In ruling that the church leader come to be deposed, Waldrip said he might have to preside over the sure-to-be contentious legal exercise.
"It sounds like it might have to be done right here in the courtroom so I can rule on the objections," he said.
This story as originally published mispelled David Miscavige's name.

Ronna Wineberg introduced her book, Second Language, published in 2005, when she read from her book to an enthusiastic group at The Chestnut Street Book Store in Winnetka, Illinois. (Read) The book was a "Many Voices Project" winner, MVP 105.
Second Language is a book you will want to own or give as a gift. The thirteen short stories are compelling and tell about relationships that ring true and stir emotions. The book is particularly good to have as a companion when traveling because it can be picked up, a story read, and then set down with a sense of completion.
Reading the stories, it is easy to see why this book was a prizewinner, and so highly regarded. Because my father was a coin collector, I felt particularly drawn to the first story, The Coin Collector, which describes the difficulties Sonia Chernoff had in trying to sell a hamper filled with coins after her husband passed away. The Coin Collector was broadcast on National Public Radio. In Verse of the Han we watch a marriage disintegrate. Characters come from different places, different cultures, ages, and circumstances. What is characteristic of each story is how, though it is a short story, the reader experiences such an in-depth feeling about the characters and their relationship to others in the story. Second Language was re-released in 2012 and published as an eBook by New Rivers Press and retains all the lovely features of the original, the beautiful writing and the engaging look.
Curious about Wineberg's experiences in writing and publishing, I asked:
What inspired you to write and publish the book?
"I had always wanted to be a writer and began to write short stories. I was thrilled when some were published in literary magazines. I decided to see if I could gather the stories into a book. I chose to include stories that complemented one another. Each time I wrote what I thought was a stronger one, I removed a weaker story from the manuscript and replaced it. The collection began to take shape.
My stories are inspired by the world around me, often by a phrase or an image or a piece of conversation. The Doctor was inspired by something I overheard. An elderly man, a doctor, was talking with his wife and reminiscing, and she said, "Like the old days." I was struck by that phrase. Over time, I imagined a story based on it.
As a challenge to myself, when the manuscript of Second Language felt finished and complete, I decided to see if someone would publish the book. I sent the collection to publishers and agents but no one was interested. However, I received positive comments, and this was encouraging. I decided to submit the collection to a contest. I sent it to the New Rivers Press Many Voices Project Literary Competition and was fortunate that it was chosen as the winner."
How does it feel to be in the spotlight again?
"It's wonderful to be in the spotlight again. I'm honored the book has been re-released. The re-release has extended the life of Second Language. A writer never knows how a book will be greeted once it is published, and I'm thrilled that readers are still interested in Second Language."
How has the re-release impacted your current work?
"The re-release has encouraged me to work seriously on my current projects. I've written a new collection of stories. I've looked back at Second Language to see what was successful there. I'm searching for a publisher for the new collection. I have also written two novels. One is a coming of age story that takes place in the 1920s in Chicago, and the second is a novel about a public defender in Colorado and the insanity defense. I am revising these, and looking for an agent and publisher for them as well. The process of finding a publisher can be difficult and often feels like an uphill climb, especially in the current publishing climate. The re-release of Second Language has energized me and my work, and taught me to be patient. I've learned that a writer never knows what will happen with a book, even years after it has been published."
New Rivers Press, a not-for-profit literary small press founded in 1968, started the annual Many Voices Project, or MVP, in 1981 as the Minnesota Voices Project in a competition for "new and emerging" writers. More than 100 books have been produced in the series since 1981. Second Language was chosen from 450 manuscripts as the winner of the New Rivers Press Many Voices Project Literary Competition, and it was published in 2005. In the summer of 2011 New Rivers Press decided to begin a new line of production and was excited about the project. They chose Second Language and five other books to release as eBooks and it was published as an eBook on January 19, 2012. Second Language is now available on Nook and Kindle. The eBook format allows readers to purchase books at affordable prices and insures that an award-winning book such as Second Language will have a long life and always be accessible to readers.

New Rivers Press (2005) $14.95 ISBN:o-89823-224-4

Investors seeking change at their portfolio companies are increasingly willing to hold individual directors personally accountable through the ballot box. To help mitigate the risk of opposition to the election of individual directors, boards must be more transparent and more willing to communicate with shareholders about how they set priorities, mediate conflicts, and link policies to business strategy and performance. To do so, the board and management must be committed to a governance program that integrates business and governance goals, educates and informs directors, opens a window into the boardroom, and creates opportunities to communicate with internal and external constituencies.

Sean Penn blames the world for abandoning earthquake-ravaged Haiti following the attention it received in January 2010.
"It's not only celebrities who went [to Haiti] for a day," Penn said on the sidelines of the Cannes Film Festival, according to The Wrap. "It's the whole f—ing world. It's all of you. The reason we have Haiti fatigue is because there was never a commitment in the first place."
Penn, who went to Haiti immediately following the earthquake is CEO of the J/P Haitian Relief Organization, which manages two camps that are home to about 18,000 people and has rebuilt homes, schools and hospitals. The earthquake devastated the island nation, flattening thousands of buildings, killing more than 300,000 people and making at least 1.5 million homeless, according to The Associated Press.
U.S. & World
Penn spends at least half his time in Haiti and the actor-activist is the first non-Haitian to be designated an ambassador at-large for Haiti's newly elected president, Michel Joseph Martelly.
Speaking at a press conference in Cannes, Penn also urged President Barack Obama to meet with Martelly.
"It's time our elegant and formidable president stood side by side [with Martelly]," he said.
Penn's comments come a month after he received an award for his work in Haiti at the 12th World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates.
"He actually exchanged his home in Malibu for a tent," United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Udo Janz said in introducing Penn to accept the award, according to the AP. "Think of it as the Oscar for your humanitarian commitment Sean."
Despite the scathing criticism, Penn said at Friday's press conference that things have improved in Haiti.
"You see the very tangible success story that Haiti can be," Penn said.
Joining Penn at the news conference was Czech supermodel Petra Nemcova and film director Paul Haggis, who each have non-profit organizations working in Haiti.
Penn and fashion designer Giorgio Armani will host a fundraising gala dinner for victims of Haiti's earthquake Friday night in Cannes, according to The Wrap.
