A solitary hand stuck out of the rubble of a home destroyed when a tornado ripped through a Michigan village leaving more than 100 homes in splinters.
The first officer on the scene, Washtenaw County Sheriff's Deputy Ray Yee, reached for the hand and pulled out an elderly man who was shaken but able to walk.
"That's the best part," Yee said. "Every place I went to, I would have thought I would have found somebody laying there — deceased or whatever. But, knock on wood, everybody was OK."
Initial estimates indicate the tornado that hit Dexter, northwest of Ann Arbor, Thursday evening was packing winds of around 135 mph, National Weather Service meteorologist Steven Freitag said Friday. He said it was on the ground for about a half hour and plowed a path about 10 miles long.

The storm, which flooded roads and tossed trees, was part of a slow-moving system packing large hail, heavy rain and high winds. Gusts downed power lines, sparking fires.
Sheriff's spokesman Derrick Jackson said 105 homes were significantly damaged in two neighborhoods of the hard-hit village and the surrounding area, and 13 were destroyed. Crews were assessing the damage.
There were no reports of serious injuries or fatalities, authorities said.
About two dozen homes in Sharon Carty's Huron Farms neighborhood "are pretty much unlivable," she said. "One house, the whole front of the house is gone. Folks whose houses were hit are pretty stunned. We don't get too many tornados around here."
She saw no evidence of any injuries.
Carty, 38, said she and her family heard the first weather siren around 5:15 p.m. and were in their basement when the tornado struck. Their house was untouched.
Jack Davidson, 63, said he was watching TV when he heard warning sirens go off near his home in Dexter, sending him and his wife to the basement.
When they emerged, they didn't see much damage at first and thought the storm had spared the area. But one look across the street revealed a different reality: a flattened self-serve carwash was among the damaged structures.
"It's bad," Davidson said. "The pizza shop's bad. But the worst damage is to the carwash."
Two blocks away, the twister didn't touch down.
"I guess we were just lucky we were in the right spot," Davidson said.
A sign that declares Dexter a "Tree City USA" community was bent and affixed to a telephone pole. Nearby, trees lay on the ground, rendering surrounding roads closed or impassable.
Freitag said a weaker tornado was on the ground for 3 to 5 minutes in Monroe County's Ida Township. He estimated those winds at 80 to 90 mph.
"We're getting absolutely hammered," Fire Capt. Jim Hemwall of Monroe County's Frenchtown Township said Thursday night. "We have funnel clouds spotted all around us."
Hemwall said a house in the town of Exeter was struck by lightning and debris swirled around another in Monroe County's Dundee.
A third possible tornado was reported in northwest Lapeer County, near Columbiaville. Authorities reported damage in a three-mile area there. The storm ripped a two-story home from its foundation, damaged barns and vehicles, and knocked down trees. It packed wind gusts of up to 70 mph in Lapeer County and 2-inch hail, the weather service said.
Survey teams from the weather service planned to be in Washtenaw, Monroe and Lapeer counties on Friday to examine the damage.
Police closed all roads into Dexter as darkness fell Thursday, and emergency personnel were conducting a door-to-door search for injured residents, said Jackson, the Washtenaw sheriff's spokesman. People needing shelter for the night were directed to a local school.
University of Michigan Health System spokeswoman Kara Gavin said patients were moved into hallways and window blinds were closed in rooms. Gavin said there were no reports of damage in or around the Ann Arbor hospitals.
The American Red Cross of Washtenaw and Lenawee counties planned to open a shelter at Mill Creek Middle School in Dexter and another in Ann Arbor, spokeswoman Jenni Hawes said.
Associated Press writers Corey Williams, David Runk, Jeff Karoub and David Aguilar contributed to this report from Detroit. Tom Krisher reported from Dexter.

The Cleveland Orchestra's radio broadcasting history dates back nearly to its founding in 1918. These broadcasts were heard each week by people as far away as Maine, Florida, Minnesota, and Canada. In fact, Cleveland was somewhat of a broadcast pioneer — it was only the third orchestra to broadcast its concerts, having been preceded by the Detroit Symphony and the New York Philharmonic, both of which had begun their concert broadcasts earlier in 1922. Since 1965, the Orchestra's broadcasts are syndicated around the world through the local radio station WCLV 104.9.
As part of WCLV's regular weekly programming, the Orchestra can be heard twice each week, on Saturday evening's at 8 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 4 p.m. Many of the Saturday night broadcasts are live from Severance Hall.

State agency embarks to make Connecticut healthier by 2020
HARTFORD >> Public health officials have embarked on a wide-ranging effort to take the pulse of the state's well-being and come up with a roadmap to make Connecticut healthier by 2020.
Starting next week, the Department of Public Health will hold forums in all eight counties to hear about issues and problems facing the communities' health, as well as ideas for making the communities healthier places to live. The first forum will be held Sept. 10 at Rockville High School in Vernon.
Officials will visit Litchfield County on Sept. 26 at Torrington City Hall. A time for that event hasn't been announced yet.
The forums are part of the State Health Assessment that's underway, tracking information that will ultimately be used to identify various health issues facing residents and mobilize resources.
"We want people to tell us what we missed and what else we should be thinking about," said Dr. Jewel Mullen, the Department of Public Health commissioner, in an interview with The Associated Press.
At those meetings, officials also plan to share some of the information they've already collected — with the help of numerous public, private and community partners from different disciplines — about the population's health. Even though Connecticut usually ranks among the top 10 healthiest states, Mullen said problems have already been identified. For example, the state still has high obesity rates. Unlike some other states, childhood obesity rates are not declining, especially in low-income areas, she said.
State statistics show 8.2 percent of female students in grades 9-12 were obese in 2005. That number climbed slightly to 8.4 percent in 2011. For boys in grades 9-12, the obesity rate was 13.8 percent in 2005 and 16.5 percent in 2011.
Mullen said there are also pockets of high rates of HIV, asthma, high infant mortality and low birth weights. And while many of the issues are found in Connecticut's urban centers, Mullen said some are found in rural and suburban communities as well. For example, she said the agency has discovered a correlation between low birth weights and women who became pregnant using assisted reproductive technology. She said more of those kinds of procedures are performed in Connecticut compared to other states.
Additionally, she said residents living in urban and rural parts of Connecticut are experiencing trouble accessing healthy foods because they live in so-called food deserts, where there isn't ready access to supermarkets and other stores selling healthy food.
Public health officials are also looking at the preponderance of chronic disease in Connecticut, such as heart disease and diabetes. State statistics show that heart disease was the leading cause of death for women in 2009, followed by cancer. Meanwhile, slightly more men died from cancer than heart disease that year.
The department's wide-ranging study — a first for the agency — comes as the federal Affordable Care Act rolls out in Connecticut, changing how health care is delivered in the state, including the new Access Health CT insurance marketplace that will begin open enrollment Oct. 1. But Mullen said the health care reform law is not just about expanding access to health insurance and treatment but also about focusing on preventive measures — something the department can help address.
"Most prevention isn't happening in the doctor's office, and a lot of prevention isn't about medical care at all," she said. "It's about the conditions that people live in. It's about their access to healthy foods. It's about clean water. It's about they're making the right choices for their own health. It's about decreasing smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke."
The final report, Healthy Connecticut 2020, is expected to be ready by late 2013. Similar to the federal initiative known as Healthy People, the roadmap will include measurable benchmarks to determine whether the state is actually healthier by 2020.

Ok first things first I'll eat your brains/
Then I'mma start rocking gold teeth and fangs/
'Cause that's what a muthafucking monster do
— Nicki Minaj, Monster
Article after article, tweet after tweet, I watched the conversation about Kanye and all the dead women in "Monster."
But if you watch the actual video, you'll notice something interesting. All the dead women are white, with the possible exception of the second model in the bed. There are eight or nine brown* women in the video, all with prominent roles – and all of whom are alive.
Black woman with mutilated eyes who screams at the opening? Alive. The brown twins staring while sitting on the couch? Alive. Brown woman eating the server's remains? Alive. The two monsters in the hall during Jay-Z's verse? Alive. The zombie girls working the jump rope? Alive. (Or, at least, currently animated.) Nicki's alive. The black were-woman? Alive.
In some ways, the conversation around dead women in Kanye's video reminds me of the conversations that happen around feminism and black women. The reality of black women is assumed to be exactly the same as white women – if it is mentioned at all. The fact that the majority of the women pictured lying dead where white, while black women are all part of the monster crew is generally not mentioned.
So, I'm not surprised that no one has looked at the very specific positioning of white women in the video as opposed to black women, which dives deeply into the history and construction of black women as beast-like and fearsome, the sexualization of violence, and how the video is a win for both normalized misogyny and upholding the ideals of white supremacy.
The Monstrosity of Brown Women
The depiction of a black woman as a werewolf piqued my interest immediately. In fact, the first time I watched the video, I stopped playback to get a closer look.
Last February, I quoted Elizabeth M. Clark on the racial politics of werewolf transformation. Here's what she had to say:
Patrick Gonder's work on "the primitive" in 1950s horror films is useful here. Gonder discusses the 'devolved' monsters of 50s horror cinema, such as Mr. Hyde and the cavemen-primitives, in terms of race, class, and notions of civilization. He writes that the "hybrid nature of the [devolved monster] asserts white masculinity against and through the fantasy of a primal, animalistic black sexuality." The beast within (excessive, uncontrollable masculinity run amok) that the werewolf represents for (white) men is always coded in terms of a non-white ethnicity and/or the working class. Cinematic werewolves are almost always associated with non-white ethnicities, from the gypsies in The Wolf Man (1944) to the Indian mystic/scholar in Wolf. […]
The contrast, the in-between hybridity of two oppositions, the becoming of the Other is what horrifies: the white male becomes more primitive and bestial, darker (for men of color, this contrast is not seen as such a huge difference). Woman of-color-as-werewolf is almost inconceivable: if the horror of the female werewolf is the shock of female moving from sexual object spectacle to grotesque/ambigendered spectacle, then the biggest contrast is a move from the most feminine woman (slender, blonde, white) to dark, hairy, muscular wolf. White women represent the feminine ideal in this culture, and this is what we see in Dark Wolf: it would be impossible for a woman of color to play Josie, since during her transformation the contrast shown would be minimal.
Watching the black video model contort herself into a lupine representation of monstrosity clicked another, more disturbing idea into place. Kanye's inclusion of black women in the monster crew could potentially be an extension of his Bigger Thomas complex, commentary on the assumed nature of blacks in America.
Or. (This damned or.)
Or, it could be a subconscious nod to the idea that black women belong in the monster crew, simply for being born dark.
Tami does some fascinating exploration on this historical divide between black and white women on her blog, and how it contributes to the rift between black and white feminists. In a recent post, "Seeds of Our Discontent," Tami points to the long history of mistrust between black and white women, as explained by Sally G. McMillen's Southern Women: Black and White in the Old South.
One aspect to this distrust was the vaulted position of white women – placed on pedestals, all other women were seen as lower beings compared to this perfect ideal of whiteness. To this day, this idea plays out time and time again, on fashion catwalks, in horror films, and in music videos.
I'll return to this idea in the third section – but for now, it's fascinating to see who is interpreted as "monster" and who is interpreted as "woman."
Nicki Minaj's Dual Sexualized Selves
Nicki Minaj plays what appears to be a dungeon dominatrix, torturing her alter-ego. The two Nickis are like night and day, using the typical white/black clothing dichotomy to symbolize good and evil.
However, its interesting to watch Nicki add another element to her performance – not only is she tormenting herself, she also acts against herself sexually, fulfilling a long held trope – female suffering is sexy. By writhing and grinding on her captive self, Minaj is playing into the visual imagery that has fueled horror movies for quite some time – a woman in peril should also operate as an object of sexual desire. Minaj subverts this a bit – her pink haired self appears openly defiant, before she is re-covered with the hood.
Despite the imagery in Nicki's set, I have to admit to some satisfaction here – while women here are casually tossed aside and used as decoration throughout the entire video, it is only Nicki's section that brings a bit of interest to the horror movie concept. (Well, that and the zombies skipping rope.) Nicki Minaj owns this track and has the most interesting concept in the video. (Think about it: a very easy thing to do would have been to make her the severed head Kanye is holding, or pose her beautifully in a grave.)
But I would be remiss if I didn't mention that the intent and response are very different things. While Nicki Minaj is easily the woman with the most agency in the video, she is still reduced to being the target of a simplistic male gaze. I've written about this before, noting that hip-hop's visual culture has (d?)evolved to the point where female rappers are also required to serve as eye candy in their own music videos, an action not required of men in a similar position.
The bleed over has even pulled over to neo-soul and R & B. Now there was always some element of sexual allure boosting sales – but when Erykah Badu's artistic statement in "Window Seat" was passed around on the merit of "her perfect three baby booty," one has to wonder if anything is enough to overcome the male gaze.
Minaj is a master of playing to the male gaze while disrupting certain expectations as a way to assert her artistic individuality. So it was not surprising, but still somewhat jarring that at the height of Nicki's dominance of the track, the person who uploaded the YouTube video inserts a little note that pops up saying "WHAT a ASSSSSS!"
Even at her moment of lyrical greatness, the perception of her body trumps all.
White Womanhood and Black Women
Kanye's images were meant to both disturb and titillate, to intentionally contrast the beautiful with the profane. And it is this ongoing dynamic that troubles me more than the images of dead women or Kanye's lyrics.
Andrea Rubenstein coined a very useful concept a while back: the usual amount of racism. She explains that this is the type of racism that becomes generally accepted practice – for example, shows with all white casts and workplaces in areas as diverse as New York City. It is so insidious, it becomes expected – therefore things that exceed this threshold are either applauded or condemned depending on how far they stray away from the "usual" amount.
This frame is also fascinating to explore what appears to be a violation of the usual amount of sexism in this video in particular. Women draped around as decorations in music videos isn't new or uncommon. Lyrics about sexual dominance involving specific sexual acts also aren't new or uncommon.
Sexualized depictions of violence didn't begin or end with Kanye – over the years, the Jezebel team has documented dozens of ways in which advertisers and fashion photographers seek to titillate viewers and readers with images of gruesome murder victims draped in high fashion. Jenna Sauers wrote the definitive call out back in 2009, but there are examples a plenty (link mildly NSFW) in the horror genre.
So why did this video provoke such outcry?
Kanye violated the norms of the usual amount of misogyny by making the women two things: (1) dead and (2) white.
Look at that tenderness in the shot above, the almost loving caress. In divorced from racial context, it would be the same as many other depictions of the glamorous serial killer. Anthony Hopkins turned his portrayal of the disturbed, yet highly cultured Hannibal Lecter into an Oscar. Patricia Cornwell laces each of her novels with charismatic killers. That caress that Kanye gives the dead model in his bed matches the way Cornwell characterizes many of her murders – they approach their grim work feeling tenderness toward these women they intend to mutilate. The last time I picked up a Scarpetta novel, I wanted to skip through the pages, avoiding the long drawn out depictions of the soon to be dead woman lying sexily in bathtub, filled with cold water. Infusing the macabre with sex appeal is a deeply rooted tradition.
It's also a tradition in music videos, to fuse both sex and violence as a way to sell records. As Sut Jhally explains in Dreamworlds 3, this type of violence has become so normalized, it manifests in real life interactions:
However, within the racial context, it's designed to simultaneously play into America's deepest fears and deepest needs at the same time: the fear of black men (in general) and their alleged desire for white women. I would think Kanye was playing into that idea consciously, and perhaps he is. But the segregation of treatment contributes to a final note, where Kanye is also upholding the ideals of white supremacy. Even in death, white women are worthy of love, tenderness, and a starring role in male fantasies. Brown women are relegated to the background, left to their own monstrous devices, shadow creatures performing their roles.
Neither depiction is great for women – it's essentially a loss all the way around. But I do wonder, if the video was full of the corpses of black women, would it have provoked such an outcry? I would certainly hope so – but considering the silence around the rape and murder of black women (even those committed byserial killers in L.A. and North Carolina) in real life, there is room for considerable doubt.

Still chewing fat with graphic government ad campaigns
EDITORIAL: The Queensland Government has "declared war" on our rising obesity rates, with an ad campaign aiming to shock people into getting healthy.
With graphic images of the health problems caused by obesity, the government hopes its campaign will have a similar positive effect as recent anti-smoking and road safety campaigns.
The LiveLighter campaign will cost about $7.5 million over the course of three years.
That amount is small fry, compared to the mounting burden that obesity-related illnesses are putting on our health system.
About one in three Queensland adults is now obese, and more than a quarter of children are overweight too.
"Extra padding" has become the leading preventable cause of early deaths in the state, even more than smoking - so it is clear that something needs to be done urgently.
But I don't understand the logic behind spending millions of taxpayer dollars on an advertising campaign to get people to eat healthily, when for every dollar the government spends, the fast food giants will spend hundreds more.
In 2008, McDonald's spent $1.2 billion on advertising in the United States alone, and Yum! Brands, the owner of KFC and Pizza Hut, spend $960 million.
Given Queensland's well-documented financial strife, I don't see us spending that kind of money in a bid to counteract the images of juicy burgers dripping with fat.
But there is a cheaper option: ban junk food advertising.
Don't just prevent McDonald's ads being posted near schools, or during kids' TV time.
Ban it altogether.
In advertising, the mighty dollar is everything, and since the government can't afford to compete with the budgets of junk-food pedlars, it needs to look at other options.
It's time to get real about not just the risk of obesity, but the hypocrisy in paying for a campaign to limit junk food while bowing to lobbyists who have a vested interest in our kids buying burgers.

Roberts finds he's happiest where he was all along
Former player relishes being on field, now as Padres bench coach under Black
PEORIA, Ariz. -- When Dave Roberts reached the end of his playing career after the 2008 season, he was certain he wanted to remain connected to the game.
He just wasn't sure in what capacity.
Roberts, who has moved from coaching first base for the Padres to bench coach this season, first gave television a whirl, serving as a studio analyst and occasional color commentator for NESN, calling Red Sox games.
He later joined the Padres as a special assistant to baseball operations, where Roberts got a look at how an organization ran from the inside.
"I wanted to see the different facets of the game from different viewpoints," Roberts said. "And it was interesting, seeing it from the broadcast booth and then from the suite. I learned a lot from that, like how hard the guys in the front office work."
After the 2010 season, the Padres promoted Roberts to first-base coach, giving him a third job in as many years. But here, surrounded by players, coaches and the game, this is where Roberts found his true niche.
"After my playing career, I wanted to see what the next chapter of my life was going to be ... where my passion was going to be, whether it be the TV booth, the front office or back on the field," Roberts said.
"I think after doing the first two and after a year on the field, there was no doubt [coaching] was where I needed to be."
He'll get the chance to add another chapter to his coaching file this season as he's moved from the first-base box to a seat next to manager Bud Black, as Roberts replaces Rick Renteria, who was named manager of the Cubs during the winter.
"The thing I'm looking forward to the most is looking at the game through a different lens," Roberts said. "Also, it's a chance to work closer with Buddy while trying to study other managers and bench coaches, the catchers. I look at it as a new challenge."
His duties will differ from his previous post in ways Roberts probably doesn't know yet. Black empowers his staff and leans on his bench coach, before and during a game. Roberts, who worked with outfielders and headed the team's baserunning efforts, will train new first-base coach Jose Valentin to handle those duties.
But one thing will remain constant with Roberts -- his daily contact with players. Black made sure to make that abundantly clear early on.
"The interactions are something that Buddy wants from me," Roberts said. "I like to touch the players. I want to teach and be involved. This is a perfect opportunity to teach some people I didn't have before."
Black is excited to see Roberts in this new role. And, as he said this week, don't let that Roberts smile fool you one bit.
"I think he's going to do great," Black said. "He understands the game, he understands players. He's got a feel for the clubhouse. You add those up with his personal qualities, his aptitude, his passion and feel for players, there's a lot there to like.
"There's a competitive edge to Doc that a lot of people don't see. People see this nice guy, great smile. But he wouldn't have achieved what he did as a player if he didn't have a strong competitive edge to him."
Black said he can easily envision Roberts as being managerial material, though you won't get Roberts to bite on that one.
"I haven't taken much time thinking about that," he said.
Instead, he's devoting every minute he can this spring to getting to know the new players in camp and also working with Valentin, the newcomer to the coaching staff. Roberts, and that smile Black talked about, bounce from drill to drill and from locker to locker. He's in his element in uniform.
Nothing against working in television or in the front office, but there's an absolute understanding each and every day that this is where Roberts should be.
"Ultimately," he said. "I missed the camaraderie of being in the clubhouse."

Will you support young women activists?
NEW RELEASE: Watch the One People Flashmob from Occupy Oakland & SF, cosponsored by CODEPINK, and get inspired to support justice!
Donate $50 and receive our
I Heart 99% bumper sticker
Donate $100 and receive our
"Wake Up Justice" gift pack
Donate $1,000 and receive our Movement Builder gift: Fair trade coffee, bumper sticker, and an autographed copy of the new book Beautiful Trouble: Toolbox for Revolution
Dear CODEPINKer,
When I started volunteering with CODEPINK to "pink slip Bush" in 2004 I suddenly found myself--at the age of 21--brushing elbows (and unfurling banners) with my sheroes. Getting out the vote in swing states, organizing vigils, and standing up to war profiteers taught me the brass tacks of organizing. The mentorship I have received daily over the past seven years from visionary cofounders Medea and Jodie and many other activists has given me the courage to speak truth to power.
Now we are thrilled to find ourselves joined by people all over the country in a new movement--the Occupy Movement -- with a common message that we must bring our war dollars home and focus our resources on jobs, health care, education and other vital human needs rather than war and corporate greed. Dedicated CODEPINK activists have been supporting the Occupy movement in many ways -- from joining the port shut-downs to bringing food and supplies to encampments, helping facilitate General Assemblies, speaking out at rallies, and camping out!
But there is a problem with the Occupy movement that we at CODEPINK have identified--in many places, it has been dominated by male voices. Since day one of Occupy Wall Street, CODEPINK activists have been co-creating "safer spaces," empowering women to engage and take leadership.
What if we could do that across the country? I want young women around the nation to have the opportunity I have had to access their leadership and build their skills. That's why I'm donating $50 to CODEPINK today. Will you join me to make a powerful Women Occupy presence?
Make a year-end donation today to support young women rising.
CODEPINK has empowered me with skills for leadership, and I'm thrilled to share with you that this week I am taking on a new position as co-director of CODEPINK, with Medea and Jodie. I could never have imagined years ago, while chanting on the bullhorn and living off t-shirt sales, that I would one day have this opportunity.
We are at an historic moment when our deepest dreams of overcoming war and injustice are being debated--and acted upon--in town squares the world over. CODEPINK is right in the middle, with a tent in which everyone can channel their deepest hopes and reclaim our power.
With your help, in 2012 we will continue to amplify women's voices in the Occupy movement and in war zones around the world. From Rumsfeld to Netanyahu we will continue to stand up to war criminals and war profiteers. We will continue our bold campaigns to boycott Israeli settlement products. We will launch several new books featuring CODEPINK authors. We will keep on supporting the Arab uprising and we will expose the right-wing lobby AIPAC with a national conference in DC. We will continue to sow the seeds of change to make this world a safer, healthier, more just and peaceful place for the 99%.
It has been your support that has taken us this far. Your donation right now can help us turn the tide on corporate greed and war profiteering.
We don't get many moments like this in our lifetimes. Let's seize it!
Rae Abileah and the CODEPINK Team
PS It's time to planetize the movement. Watch the new One People Flashmob to see how the 99% and the 1% can come together, and get inspired to support CODEPINK in the year ahead! Share it on twitter today!
CODEPINK is a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end U.S. funded wars and occupations, to challenge militarism globally, and to redirect our resources into health care, education, green jobs and other life-affirming activities. The name CODEPINK satirized the Bush Administration's color-coded, fear-mongering "security" alert system that has since been phased out. CODEPINK is a lively call for the people of the world to "wage peace." More...

Dispatches From The 2013 International Pizza Expo In Las Vegas
Has it really been a full week? Then how am I still in a food coma from the mere 36 hours I spent in Vegas at the International Pizza Expo?
This was my first year wandering the cavernous Convention Center, which houses virtually every single facet of the pizza industry under a single roof, as I tried (and failed) to dodge atrocious free samples.*
*I appreciated the warning, Scott.
The bulk of the Expo is surely more about raising profits than striving for pizza excellence, but that doesn't mean there weren't plenty of quality products and innovation on display. Also: pre-made crusts that will last for decades in your end-of-the-world bunker.
I took plenty of photos—you can get a good feel for the show in the massive slideshow above—but the trends I noticed were gluten-free crusts, some of which did not even taste like death; dough presses for the discerning fast-casual pizza fan who prefers tortilla to cornicione; and enough point of sale systems to make me nervous about the impending arrival of Skynet. Expo attendees and veterans can let me know what I missed in the comments.
I don't want to give you a Hallmark card about how "it's really the people that make the convention," but...it's really the people that make the convention. Pizza people are notoriously kind and exceedingly generous with their time and knowledge. And where else can you pick Jeff Varasano's brain on the mysteries of business expansion (and Rubik's cubes)? Or get rock solid pizza recommendations for literally any place on the planet directly from the Tourmaster himself, Scott Weiner? Or spend an hour going deep on the meaning of pie with pizza spiritualists like Spacca Napoli's Jonathan Goldsmith or Metro Pizza's John Arena? Hell, I even got to talk TV with the great Paulie Gee (he recommends catching up on HBO's unfortunately cancelled "Enlightened").
If you truly love pizza, the only thing better than eating it is talking about it with your fellow tribemates. Okay, maybe talking about pizza with your tribemates while also eating it is better, but don't worry, either way the Expo has you covered.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The federal government is urging a federal judge to deny a Hobby Lobby Stores request to block enforcement of a Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) regulation that requires employers to cover insurance costs for morning-after pill and the week-after pill.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) now requires individual health policies and most employer-sponsored health plans to include coverage for birth control in their basic preventive services benefits package.
Hobby Lobby, an arts-and-crafts supply chain, filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Oklahoma City last month, alleging the mandate is unconstitutional and will force the company's owners "to violate their deeply held religious beliefs under threat of heavy fines, penalties and lawsuits." Failure to cover the drugs in Hobby Lobby's health insurance plan could lead to fines of up to $1.3 million a day, according to the company.
The Oklahoma City-based chain requested an injunction to prohibit the law's enforcement. But government attorneys claim Hobby Lobby cannot claim to exercise religion to avoid laws designed to regulate commercial activity.
"Hobby Lobby is a for-profit, secular employer, and a secular entity by definition does not exercise religion," the government said. It says a corporation and its owners are separate entities and Hobby Lobby's owners, the Green family, cannot eliminate the legal separation to impose their religious beliefs on the company and its employees.
The government's response also says granting an injunction "would permit for-profit, secular corporations and their owners to become laws unto themselves."
Hobby Lobby is free to discourage the use of contraceptives, the government said, but an employee's health care choices remain his or her own.
An attorney for Hobby Lobby said the government claims businesspersons have no constitutional right to freedom of religion and that its arguments "are legally very weak."
"The government repeats its old line: You give up your religious freedom when you go into business. That's a startling and disturbing claim for our government to make," said Lori Windham, senior counsel at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which represents Hobby Lobby.
The morning-after pill prevents ovulation or fertilization. In medical terms, pregnancy begins when a fertilized egg attaches itself to the wall of the uterus. If taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, it can reduce a woman's chances of pregnancy by as much as 89 percent.
But critics of the contraceptive say it is the equivalent of an abortion pill because it can prevent a fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus.
The lawsuit states the Green family's religious beliefs "forbid them from participating in, providing access to, paying for, training others to engage in, or otherwise supporting abortion-causing drugs and devices." The family also objects to providing coverage for certain kinds of intrauterine devices that the lawsuit alleges can destroy an embryo by preventing it from implanting in the wall of a woman's uterus.
Windham reiterated that Hobby Lobby doesn't object to all forms of birth control, only "drugs that might cause abortions."
A hearing on the injunction is scheduled Nov. 1 before U.S District Judge Joe Heaton.

Solid and Dependable Japanese at Kikuya in Hyde Park
Before being taken there, I barely knew that Kikuya existed. Small and unassuming, it's tucked right under the Metra tracks on E. 55th St, and I must have passed it hundreds of times without ever really becoming cognizant of it. In any case, I'm glad I did. The food may not be worlds beyond the average food in Hyde Park, but it's become my go-to place for decent sushi and better-than-average noodle soup.
My friends and I started out our meals with Ramune (2.50), a Japanese soda. I find them to be way too sweet, but my friends seemed happy. I suppose there's the added benefit of getting to push the marble down into the soda, causing a small explosion of fizz. (Honestly, I'm half-convinced nobody would order these if they didn't get to smash their hands on their bottle.)
Once we were served our soda, a barrage of food was brought to our table, in no particular order, without much of a methodology. It was one of those meals where I was confused as to what I had ordered and excited for what was going to be brought out next. First came the potato croquettes (4.50). In my life, I compare every fried potato pancake product to latkes, and, I must say, these held up well. Crispy on the outside with a creamy texture on the inside, the croquettes proved that it's awfully hard to go wrong with fried food.
We were then brought two plates of sushi, the crunchy maki (5.50) and the tuna temaki (3.50). Neither was very remarkable, but both were fine. The avocado in the maki contrasted well with the crunch of the tempura topping the roll. It wasn't as spicy as I would have liked, but the cucumber brought a good crunch and brightness to the dish.
Overall, I'd say the temaki was more worth ordering. The conical bunch of sushi was just fun to eat. The tuna was pretty fresh and the rice was well done. Simple. Good.
The meal really picked up with the main dishes. Though they were served with a rather disappointing salad, with an over-powering ginger dressing, and a pretty bland miso soup, the main dishes were where Kikuya really shined.
I'm a sucker for anything with eel. I spent the first 18 years of my life keeping kosher, so every time I eat eel it's a revelation. That said, the unagi don (9.95) was delicious. The eel sauce brought out the richness of the eel itself, which was well cooked—at once tender and flaky. Counterbalanced by pickled vegetables, the eel was served over a bed of rice, which served well to sop up any sauce we had missed.
The vegetable udon (8.25) was easily my favorite of the night. A bowl of vegetable tempura was brought out with a steaming bowl of noodles. The tempura proved, once again, that it's hard to go wrong with fried food. However, the real standout were the noodles. The udon noodles were supple, but had a great bite to them. Maybe one of the better bowls of udon I've had in a while. They were complimented by a salty broth, which brought flavor to the noodles.
Though I wasn't blown away by my meal at Kikuya, I'll definitely be back. If only for the soup, some eel, and anything fried.

In 1908, the National Monetary Commission was established by Congress to study financial boom-and-bust cycles. Senator Nelson Aldrich (Republican-RI) was chair of the commission. He, in secret enclave with a group of bankers, drafted what was called The Aldrich Plan, which provided for a central "bank" that would hold funds individual banks could borrow in the case of a bank run, print currency, and act as the fiscal agent of the US government. However, the plan gave little power to the government and seemed to give almost absolute control of the country's currency to Wall Street financiers. This 1912 book outlines the dangers and supposed duplicity of The Aldrich Plan while it was being debated in Congress. (The plan was eventually defeated, but was used as a basis for the Federal Reserve Act, which was signed into law in 1913.) - Summary by TriciaG

Man, a Shard in the Sand
When a contemporary German-language novel tells of perilous adventures on the high seas, stowaways hidden in cargo holds or castaways on desert islands, we automatically feel transported into the genre of the historical adventure novel. We are so strongly influenced by the certainty of our own security, our everyday luxuries, and above all the habit of being connected everywhere and at all times, that we can hardly imagine being adrift at sea, defenseless on a fragile raft.
Sherko Fatah's novel "The Dark Ship" focuses on exactly these "inconceivable" things – and yet it is an utterly contemporary novel, set in the immediate present. In clear, confident language with an epic flow, Fatah describes the wanderings of the young Iraqi Kerim whose flight into the west turns into an adventure-filled journey.
The fat boy, son of a Kurdish restaurant owner, initially seems unsuited as the hero of such a daring odyssey. Though he longs for adventure in his rural, remote homeland, the events that are to change his life and ultimately throw him off course intrude only gradually upon his everyday life.
Kerim, the pawn of powerful forces
Like a modern Simplicius, the hero of the first German picaresque, Kerim becomes entangled in the chaos of the war that began flaring up repeatedly in Iraq in the early 1980s. He loses his father, murdered in front of his restaurant one day by the henchmen of the Saddam regime. Shortly thereafter Kerim is kidnapped by "holy warriors" and forced to take part in bloody terrorist attacks. He flees, ending up hidden in the dark cargo hold of a huge freighter, in danger of being discovered and punished at any moment.
Over and over, Kerim becomes the pawn of more powerful forces; even after arriving in Berlin and receiving asylum, he, like Simplicius, is incapable of truly understanding what is happening around him; he is unable to take charge of his life and make something out of it.
"A destiny of these times"
Sherko Fatah, whose novel was recently shortlisted for the Prize of the Leipzig Book Fair, uses the material of one small life to give convincing and urgent form to a destiny of these times. At the same time, Fatah is not primarily interested in a critique of the world's wars or the inhuman violence of fundamentalist terrorists.
Kerim is a character who must be understood on his own terms, resembling the "stranger" whom Camus first introduced as a literary type.
Like Camus' Meursault, Kerim is alienated from the people around him, yet bears a fatal responsibility for disastrous events, endangering others – often unintentionally – and acting egotistically. He is a "shard in the sand", as his "teacher", the leader of the holy warriors, describes the modern, "godless" human being. This "shard" is quite capable of injuring passersby, inflicting dangerous wounds.
The search for God and meaning
Kerim, given a secular upbringing in Iraq, increasingly becomes an introverted seeker of God and meaning over the course of the novel, a fragile, lonely person who is "both liberated and scarred", as the novel puts it. Longing for companionship and love, in Berlin Kerim begins a relationship with the student Sonja, who literally saves his life when he falls through the ice of a frozen lake. However, this relationship remains superficial and does not last. Thus it is not surprising that the only stability in Kerim's life is provided, disastrously, by the "teacher" who trains him to become a terrorist in the mountains of Northern Iraq.
Over and over again, those experiences appear in flashbacks, a skillful indication of Kerim's inability to free himself from the inhuman ideology that catches up with him for real in Berlin, causing his new life to founder tragically.
The strongest passages are indisputably the adventures on the ship and the raft; here the novel strongly recalls Poe's "Arthur Gordon Pym". Fatah's great strength lies in the precise description of nightmarish moments, the gripping depiction of strange noises or smells below deck, looming dangers; these details are incredibly vivid and indelible, while the Berlin sections pale somewhat by contrast, even if we are kept anxiously guessing to the end as to what will become of Kerim. According to the logic of this implacably serious, gripping and – unfortunately – profoundly sorrowful novel, Kerim ultimately has no chance.

Microsoft Corp launched new Office software for home users on Tuesday, featuring constantly updated, online access to documents from all kinds of devices as the world's largest software company attempts to tailor its most profitable product to a mobile generation.
The new Office suite of applications - including desktop staples Outlook email, Excel, Word and PowerPoint - is aimed at home users rather than businesses, and is designed to extend Microsoft's domination of the workplace to the home office and beat back growing competition from Google Inc's free online apps.
"The notion of an always up-to-date streaming version of Office comes directly from how people are using devices today," said Kurt DelBene, head of Microsoft's Office unit, in a phone interview. "You really want all your content to roam with you. We see that as an opportunity to deliver what customers are asking for."
The version of the new software launched on Tuesday, called Office 365 Home Premium, is the first major overhaul of Office since 2010. Big companies, which generally buy Microsoft's software under multi-year contracts, already got the latest features of the new Office in December.
Tuesday was the first look for individual customers, and initial reactions were positive at Microsoft's flagship Seattle store.
"It looks badass. And that whole touch-screen thing now," said Kouichi Armga, 25, who works at Trader Joe's grocery store and studies at the University of Washington in Tacoma, after seeing the new Office run on touch-screen hardware.
"It was actually very impressive," said Jeremy Payne, 26, from Olympia, Washington, who works in retail and is studying public relations at the local Evergreen State College. "The biggest thing was the new PowerPoint. I was really excited to see the new PowerPoint."
Payne, an avowed Apple Inc enthusiast, said the new Office was "really rad," but it might be hard to drag Mac users away from their Apple-centered world.
"They have their work cut out for them pulling people from Apple," he said. "The Apple system is so integrated to my way of thought."
After downloading the basic programs online, users can access the latest versions of all Office applications from up to five devices on a subscription basis for $100 a year.
The software will be updated online, marking a change from the past where users had to wait years for upgrades to installed software.
It is the latest step in what Chief Executive Steve Ballmer called Microsoft's "transformation to a devices and services business," making the company more like Apple.
The new Office largely adopts the look of last year's Windows 8, with a cleaner, more modern-looking design and includes touch-screen capability.
The "ribbons" showing commands in Word and Excel are mostly unchanged. For the first time the package includes online calling and video service Skype, which Microsoft bought in 2011.
Users' work can be stored on their devices but also in remote data centers - known as the cloud - and the latest version of a document can accessed from any licensed device with a browser.
Two and a half years in the making, the new Office is designed to extend Microsoft's domination of the business market and counter the growing popularity of Google Apps, a collection of online-only, Office-style applications Google provides free for home users and sells to businesses for $50 per user per year.
Microsoft is hoping its move into online services, alongside its new Surface tablets, will push it into the forefront of mobile computing, which has been led by Google's Android software and Apple's combination of slick hardware and apps.
"Microsoft Office remains the gold standard for productivity applications," said Avi Greengart, research director at Current Analysis. "It is bringing Office fully into today's connected, cloud-based environment. But it still has more work to do to make it fully finger-friendly for use on its own Windows tablets."
The new Office will run natively on Microsoft's own Surface tablets - both the 'RT' and Pro versions running on ARM Holdings and Intel Corp chips respectively - but it will not run natively on Apple's iPad, disappointing some iPad users who are also Office fans.
"We have not said that we will do rich client software on the iPad at this point," said DelBene, although he did not rule out producing such software in the future. "We've been very logical in our approach. I'm pleased with the software we have delivered for the iPad to date," he said.
Microsoft's SkyDrive online storage system and its OneNote note-taking software are available as iPad apps, and iPad users can use limited Web versions of some Office applications.
The iPad issue has been a long-time quandary for Microsoft, which might gain more mobile users by making Office available on the iPad but would have to give Apple a cut of its subscriptions. Availability of Office on iPads would also take away a major incentive to buying its own competing Surface tablet.
Microsoft estimates that 1 billion people worldwide use some part of Office and the unit that produces Office is Microsoft's most profitable, edging out the flagship Windows division for the last few years. It now accounts for more than half of Microsoft's overall profit.
Sales dipped last quarter as consumers held off in anticipation of the new Office, but analysts expects sales to ramp up this quarter.
"In the immediate next year or two, this version of Office should help many of the core small and midsize enterprise customers stay with Office," said Al Hilwa at tech research firm IDC. "The value proposition for the consumer space has always stemmed from synergies with the enterprise. I don't think this is going to change."
