Simpler saving: The 60% Solution
Years of complex budget calculations have led me to a simple conclusion: If you limit essential spending to 60% of total income, your savings will soar.
How many of you have tried budgeting and think it's a waste of time? Come on, let's see those hands.
OK, that's just about everybody.
I've kept a budget of one kind or another, first on paper and then with the help of various software programs, for many years -- despite a strong suspicion that I was wasting my time. The illusion of control, I argued to myself, was better than none at all.
My approach to budgeting was to carefully track my spending during the month and to adjust my budget targets up and down in each category, so that my total expenses never exceeded my income.
Useful? Sometimes. Anal-retentive? Probably.
After two decades of this, though, I started to wonder if there isn't an easier, more effective way to budget. I realized that the hardest part about keeping a budget is getting useful information from it. There's too much detail and not enough bottom line. My answer is the 60% Solution, a faster and easier way to structure your budget without having to account for every penny.
What you're trying to do with a budget is to prevent overspending, which ultimately leads to piling up debt. Contrary to the way most people budget, however, it rarely matters what you're overspending on -- dining out, entertainment, clothes. Who cares? It's still debt, right?
Looking at my own spending history, I realized that it wasn't the little luxuries here and there that got me in trouble. It was the large, irregular expenses -- like vacations, major repairs and the holidays -- that did all the damage. To avoid overspending, I had to do a better job of planning for those.
And then there were the really big expenses: buying a car, putting a down payment on a new home or putting a new roof on an old home, all of which can run into the tens of thousands of dollars. They also can often be postponed, sometimes for years, which theoretically should give me a chance to save for them.
Understand your committed expenses
As I looked back over the past 20 years of budgeting, I saw that there were a few years when my wife and I believed we were fairly on top of things, even with a much lower income. How did we manage?
The key was a drop in our fixed monthly expenses. It was a period when declining interest rates had lowered our adjustable-rate-mortgage payment to about 15% of our household income. That left us with some extra money each month to set aside in a savings account for those irregular expenses.
We later moved to a bigger house with a much bigger mortgage payment, higher maintenance costs and utility bills, and obscene property taxes. The monthly mortgage payment was only 20% of our gross income, far lower than the 33% that most lenders will allow, but, suddenly, we were struggling again.
Some of these are very good advices. From my perspective I would add something extra. Few years ago I found great way to productively utilize my free time. I am a stay home mom and my kids can safely play by themselves now (under supervision of course) while I enjoy my favorite TV shows ...with one little difference. Now, while I watch I also take online surveys. One thing to another and I managed to make $4000 last year. I know it's not for everyone, but so are above suggestions. I like taking surveys and getting paid. In the beginning it was very slow since I wasn't signed up for the right survey sites (that pay cash), If you think this could be something for you look up free info sites like surveyjet or zeeses (they both show proof of payments which is great, so you won't be taking any sweepstake surveys that don't pay ...unless you win)
You say you calculated 60% of the GROSS income.
Then you took the rest and divided it into 4 parts of 10% each.
What about the taxes that you pay on your income?
Let's say you earned $1,000/ week. 60% is $600. Aren't you paying about $300. in taxes? In your calculation, you still have $400 to divide between the 4 categories. What am I missing?

5 Stocks Insiders Love Right Now
Synageva BioPharma
One biopharmaceutical player that insiders are loading up on here is Synageva BioPharma ( GEVA), which is focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of therapeutic products for patients with life-threatening rare diseases and unmet medical need. Insiders are buying this stock into solid strength, since shares are up 43% so far in 2013.
Synageva BioPharma has a market cap of $1.97 billion. Its estimated growth rate for this year is -73.2%, and for next year it's pegged at -22.8%.>>4 Biotech Stocks Under $10 Making Big Moves A director just bought 1.05 million shares, or about $59.46 million worth of stock, at $56.63 per share. From a technical perspective, GEVA is currently trending well above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last month and change, with shares soaring higher from its low of $44.52 to its intraday high of $68.25 a share. During that uptrend, shares of GEVA have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That said, shares of GEVA have now entered extremely overbought territory, since its current relative strength index reading is 89.

I would look for a pullback back toward $62.50 or $60 a share to potentially get long shares of GEVA. Keep in mind that as long as GEVA is trending above its key breakout level of $55, then it remains in a very bullish uptrend.

What IF planet earth was just : One color, one race, one nation, one religion, one language ?
Does all this diversity in races, colors, religions etc., bring human being to war, hatrated, anger, frustration etc. ? The differences that we all share on this beautiful planet, is it to our advantage ?
Would it not be easier and more pleasant to speak all, the same language, have the same culture, practice the same religion etc. ?
What is your take ? Would you rather live on A PLANET EARTH elsewhere, that it's all the same colors, same culture, same language, same religion etc...If not, why and what do you propose to make OUR planet earth, as much unified as possible within is differences?

New APHA Report Says, 'After 98 Years, It's Time to Act'
Washington, D.C., March 19, 2010
— The American Public Health Association today urged members of the U.S. House of Representatives to
support the health reform legislation and related reconciliation improvements that will come to the House floor for a vote in the coming days.
"Congress has the opportunity to do what has eluded our grasp for nearly a century," said Georges C. Benjamin, MD, FACP, FACEP (E), executive director of APHA. "Passing this measure will strengthen our public health system, invest in prevention, improve the health of the American people and move us closer to providing comprehensive and affordable health coverage for all Americans. If not now, when?"
A new issue brief APHA released today underscores the challenges that have plagued attempts to pass health reform since Teddy Roosevelt's presidency. Ninety-Eight Years of Almost: The Push for National Health Insurance reveals the powerful impact of special interests opposed to national health insurance and the political challenges and misfortunes that have stymied progress.
"After 98 years of almost passing health reform legislation, the time has come to act," said Benjamin.
Founded in 1872, the APHA is the oldest, largest and most diverse organization of public health professionals in the world. The association aims to protect all Americans and their communities from preventable, serious health threats and strives to assure community-based health promotion and disease prevention activities and preventive health services are universally accessible in the United States. APHA represents a broad array of health providers, educators, environmentalists, policy-makers and health officials at all levels working both within and outside governmental organizations and educational institutions.

While taking Elementary Chinese, I had the opportunity to practice traditional Chinese calligraphy. This was my absolute favorite part of class because it shows that there is not only a difference in the way words are written (characters versus letters), but also a difference in the method of how the language is written. Calligraphy is a traditional part of Chinese history and culture, and being able to practice it myself made me respect that aspect of the Chinese culture even more. It is no easy feat to write using a calligraphy brush!

International Business and Economics Learning Objectives
Almost every business in the United States is international in some manner. Customers and suppliers of even very small businesses may be in other countries. With a strong business background and knowledge of international relations, students can expect to succeed in the international world of business.
Coursework at Mount Union includes management, economics, marketing, and even business law. In addition, International Business and Economics majors will study any one of the foreign languages offered. Through the study of a foreign language, not only will students develop meaningful language skills, but they will also gain insight into the culture of those speaking that language. A unique aspect of international business is the need to understand and adapt to the culture and business customs of others.
Many jobs in international business involve sales and marketing, at least at the entry level. If you are interested in a government position, the International Trade Administration includes job titles such as international trade specialist, international economist, economist, and import compliance specialist. Graduates may also be interested in transnational public and private organizations, such as multinational corporations, banks, shipping firms, air transportation.
An education in International Business and Economics is not complete without an experience outside the United States. As part of their education, students will study abroad and earn at least six credits in an international university. These experiences have been life changing for many students and significantly broaden their perspective about other cultures and prepare them well for a career in International Business.
International Business and Economics Learning Objectives:
- Students will be able to demonstrate their knowledge of International Business.
- Students will be able to think critically and solve business problems.
- Students will be proficient in oral and written communication in business settings.
- Students will demonstrate an awareness of their role in the global environment.
- Students will develop their own personal values.
- Students will possess a sense of responsibility and a capacity for service.
- Students will be able to recognize when change is appropriate, be able to adapt to change as it occurs, and to take the lead in creating needed change.
- Students will have a view toward balancing work, recreation, family, and relationships.
- Students will have an understanding of their personal interests, abilities, strengths, and weaknesses as they pertain to career and life alternatives.
- Students will establish clear and actionable career objectives.

Since the Monetary system is man made, why do we allow debt, inflation, starvation etc... to persist? Can the system be transformed?
Money is a social system where value can be moved and recognized on a global scale, but at its very core it is still man made. It is not sentient by any stretch of the imagination, it is controlled by man.
Would a better system be one that allows Money to, only have labor value?
The current system allows Money to be made from Money, which places more value in Money itself, than the necessary labor to produce goods or services.
In essence "The Emperor's New Clothes" we make something from nothing.

Jan 5 2013: What would the effect be if the us government instead of giving a bailout directly to the banks were to give the banks a payment of some percentage of the mortgages held by the banks? Wouldn't that give the banks the same money while at the same time reducing the burden of debt on individual us mortgage holders? If this idea has any merit, could it be applied now by insisting that any bailout money not repaid to the Us Government be applied to all the mortgages held by the bank equally? Granted this might end up being a small percentage, but any percentage would improve the situation for individual debtors. If this idea has no merit please explain why, and if it is meritorious what can be done to advance the idea?
Jan 6 2013: that would have been a very good idea. But a better one would be to issue the money under the guise of buying shares of the banks, so each time they turned a profit the government would get a share, thus increasing revenues in government (yearly), allowing those funds to help alleviate funds and improve infrastructure.

Just as soon as the HST deliveries had been completed in 1982 a number of changes were made to the way the fleet was utilised. Instead of being seen as simply another train fleet the InterCity sector of BR, under the guidance of Director Cyril Bleasdale, started to see their new HSTs as a valuable business asset from which the best possible utilisation should be extracted. This change of thinking coincided with an economic slowdown, increased competition from road coaches following deregulation and the subsequent reduction in demand for long distance travel. The InterCity services from St. Pancras to the East Midlands and Yorkshire had missed out on getting their own fleet of HSTs although the fleet of aged locomotive hauled trains were in need of replacement.
Partly due to the falling demand for services and partly due to improved utilisation, 5 HST sets were released from the Western Region fleet, whilst three sets were released from the Cross Country fleet by the retention of some locomotive hauled operation on the NE-SW route. Allocations were shuffled within the WR based fleets so that 253019-027 (43038-055) and 253056-058 (43193-198) could be reallocated to Leeds Neville Hill during October 1982. Two spare sets were resourced from the ECML fleet so that a total of 10 sets could be provided to operate a near full HST service on the Midland Main Line. No depot facilities were provided for the Midland Main Line services, instead they ran empty to/from Bounds Green at the London end of the route and empty between Sheffield and Leeds Neville Hill at the northern end of the line. As depot facilities and spare resources were shared with the ECML fleet the entire 'Eastern' fleet simply became regarded as a common user between both lines, and this situation prevailed until privatisation loomed in 1993. The full Midland Main Line HST service commenced in May 1983 after the resignalling of almost the entire route, and electrification of the line between St. Pancras and Bedford had been completed.
The ECML HSTs were ordered and built on the strength of operating an hourly fast service between Edinburgh and London, but a purely Edinburgh to London service would lead to poor utilisation as arrivals wouldn't be received from London until after 1130 and sets reaching Edinburgh after 1730 would be unable to form another productive journey back to London. This lead to the concept of running beyond Edinburgh in marginal time, so rather than standing on the depot in Edinburgh between 1800 and 1100 the set could be used to run through to Aberdeen and form a morning Aberdeen to London service which would take up one of the departure 'slots' from Edinburgh. From the start of HST operation on the ECML there had been a modest operation of HSTs through to Aberdeen in marginal time where a small maintenance shed had been built to allow light overnight servicing to take place. The use of marginal time running later allowed the introduction of a HST service from Glasgow Queen St which conveniently provided for the Glasgow to Edinburgh line commuter market before running through to Kings Cross, whilst at the other end of the route one of the later Kings Cross starting sets would run empty to Peterborough to form a busy commuter run before starting its normal booked work.
In the summer of 1984 the use of HST sets in marginal time was taken one step further by the introduction of an experimental through service to Inverness which was formed by extending the 1200 from Kings Cross to Edinburgh. The morning service left Inverness early enough to form the 1130 Edinburgh to Kings Cross. The new service was a success and became a permanent all-year round feature of the timetable and continues to this day in the hands of GNER.
When the Cross Country HST service was first operated the new fleet replaced locomotive hauled trains on most of the key services along the North East to South West route corridor. The early 1980's Cross Country service ran hourly in each direction, with a sporadic service provided along the North West to Thames Valley/South Coast axis, entirely using locomotive hauled stock. The intention was that passengers would change trains at Birmingham New St if they wished to travel between two points not served directly, this was unpopular amongst many of the mostly leisure travellers along the route, e.g. family groups or the elderly. The hourly service was becoming unviable in the face of falling demand, so a revised service was implemented which saw two HSTs operating daily between the South West and Manchester, and one between the South West and Liverpool with all operation north of Birmingham being 'under the wires'. Fleet reshuffles saw the Manchester services become locomotive hauled but the daily HST service to Liverpool was retained until 1994.
HST domination of the ECML was to be short lived as June 1984 saw the announcement that finance had been approved to electrify the route and provide a new fleet of trains at a cost of £306m. Because the services had been so radically transformed by HSTs just a few years earlier, the principal driving force behind the project was the desire to cascade the valuable HSTs to other services allowing the withdrawal of older and more costly to operate stock. At one stage it was intended that the displaced HSTs would pass to the 'Secondary InterCity Network' and see use on services such as Edinburgh - Glasgow and North Trans-Pennine. However, the former services were part of the Provincial Sector who were moving to a Sprinter operated railway. Network SouthEast (NSE) also showed an interest in sets for the Waterloo - Exeter route in a shortened 2+6 formation; however NSE were also moving to multiple unit operation. In reality, by 1988 InterCity had begun to realise that the HST was a unique asset. Dr. John Prideaux, Sector Director of InterCity described the HST as 'an outstanding achievement, fully equal of TGV' and from then on it was evident the displaced sets would be staying with InterCity.
The transfer of the first main route between London and Leeds to electric traction was planned for April 1989, the electrification itself ran well ahead of schedule and the new Class 91 locomotives would start being delivered in early 1988. The new Mk 4 carriages were going to be delivered later than planned so InterCity came up with the innovative solution of replacing one power car of eight HST sets with a Class 91 so the start of the Kings Cross to Leeds electric service could be brought forward to Spring 1988. The other power car on each of these sets was converted to become a 'surrogate DVT' (Driving Van Trailer), these power cars were fitted with TDM equipment and other controls to allow the Class 91 to be controlled remotely from the modified HST power car. As the Class 91's train supply was of the older DC ETH type (and thus incompatible with HST Mk 3 stock) the DVT Class 43 would continue to provide power to the train's auxiliaries, leaving the Class 91 to provide all the traction power. The HST power cars were visually altered by the fitting of conventional drawgear and buffers in place of the lower nosecone fairing. Internally a new bank of switches was provided on the cab desk and the TDM equipment was accommodated in a cabinet in the luggage van area. Eight HST trailer sets were modified by the fitting of buffers and a drop-head buckeye at the guards compartment end of the TGS coach, this meant that the Class 91 would always be attached at the standard class end of the train whilst the modified power car would be attached at the first class end.
The first two power car conversions (on 43123/014) were carried out at the Derby Engineering Development Unit, whilst the other six (43013/065/067/068/080/084) were converted by the diesel repair shop at Stratford. Initial trials took place on the West Coast main line during November 1987 in order to prove the operation of the TDM equipment using 43014/123.
Operation of the Class 91/'surrogate DVT' formation on Kings Cross to Leeds service commenced in March 1988 and after a few weeks of operation it was found that the power cars were suffering from spending all their time idling on just 1000rpm, and their traction power was reinstated creating 8000+hp formations capable of quite brisk performances! As the deliveries and commissioning of Mk 4 sets took place the later in 1988 the DVT modified power cars were released back into normal duties.

One day in the not-too-distant future a sharp PhD candidate will write a thesis about the three-sided relationship between psychology, winemaking and the marketing of wine and a good starting point for that thesis might be the recent release of the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot wine in Carmel's Private Collection Series.
Few question but that the wines in this series have risen in quality during recent years, to the point where one might say the Carmel revolution is now reaching their mid-quality, mass market series. The wines in the Private Collection series were never been destined for the most sophisticated wine lovers, but at their best they did provide good drinking for many. If two problems remained with the series the first was that the wines destined for the USA and UK markets were mevushal and thus quite often lost their charm within six months after release. The other problem was one of image, many people recalling the not at all enviable quality of wines released as recently as the 1990s and even the first years of this still young century.
As revealed by the just released wine (for which my tasting note follows) – the times they are continuing to change. First of all, in the way of quality – from the 2007 vintage and on, none of the wines in this series will be mevushal. Not those destined for sale in Israel and not those destined for sale abroad. Even the rear label has changed, providing more useful information, that including the suggestion that this wine be chilled in the refrigerator for 20 – 30 minutes to bring it to about 16 degrees Celsius. I concur with Carmel that with wines of this nature that is a close to ideal serving temperature in Israeli climate.
Second, with the introduction of a new, well designed and far more elegant label, Carmel is making its bow to the psychology of branding and thus striving to overcome whatever image problems this series has had. (I should be receiving an image of that label in the next day or two and will post that on receipt).
For those new to our forum and to Israeli wines, the top level series of Carmel are their often notably excellent Limited Edition; Single Vineyard Series; and Regional (Appellation) Series, many of which consistently earn scores of 90 or higher. Those are followed by Private Collection, Selected (Called Vineyards in the USA) and by Young Selected and Vino.
One of these days I will reveal a very amusing anecdote that relates to both the new Private Collection labels and the Vino red wine, that reflecting not at all on Carmel but on several of my colleagues. If I were to tell that story now, the CEO of Carmel would probably put out a contract on me and at least two of my colleagues would be glad to break my legs, neck or other parts just for the pleasure of it.
As to the newly released wine, my tasting note follows.
Carmel, Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot, 2007: A blend of 50% each Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, aged partly in stainless steel and partly in French and American oak. Medium- to full-bodied, with soft tannins and a gentle spicy wood influence, opening in the glass to show black and red berries and notes of purple plums on a background that hints of vanilla and cinnamon. Drink now-2010. Suggested retail price NIS 50. (About US$ 14) Score 87. K (Tasted 2 Aug 2008)

Pro Bowl participation: Made his Pro Bowl debut in the 2013 season contest, starting for victorious Team Rice ... Finished second on team in tackles (five) and intercepted an Andrew Luck pass at Team Sanders 27 in first quarter.

-- Robert Preidt
FRIDAY, Sept. 2 (HealthDay News) -- Having weight loss surgery
before breast reduction surgery is best for severely obese women
who have both procedures, according to a small new study.
While there are some benefits to having breast reduction surgery
first -- including reduced pain and increased ability to exercise
-- women may be disappointed with the appearance of their breasts
after they lose large amounts of weight, Dr. Jeffrey Gusenoff and
colleagues at the University of Rochester Medical Center said in a
journal news release.
The investigators looked at patient satisfaction and other
outcomes among 29 severely obese women (average body mass index, or
BMI, of about 54) who lost more than 50 pounds. BMI is a
measurement that takes into account height and weight, and a BMI
over 30 is considered obese.
All but one of the women in the study had weight loss
(bariatric) surgery, according to the report published in the
September issue of the journal
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Fifteen of the women had breast reduction surgery before their weight loss.
Of the women who had breast reduction surgery first, 86 percent
thought their breasts looked worse after massive weight loss. About
half said they planned to have further surgery to improve the
appearance of their breasts and others said they would have further
breast surgery if it was covered by insurance.
The study also found that 71 percent of the women who did not
have breast surgery before bariatric surgery said their breasts
looked worse after bariatric surgery. Half of them planned to have
breast reduction surgery and others said they also would if they
could afford it.
"These options must be weighed and individualized treatment plans made for obese patients seeking breast reduction prior to weight loss," the researchers concluded in a journal news release.

To Cane or Not to CaneFriday, July 9th, 2010
Monday, June 13
I saw children being caned today.
Often the teacher will walk around with a cane but not really use it, just have it as a threatening reminder. They've even asked me if I want one – not to use, they assured me, just to hold and keep them in line with. I of course refused.
Today partway through the French class I was sitting in on, two other teachers walked in. The French teacher asked the children to get up and stand in a line.
He lifted up his cane, a peeled wooden stick, and held it up above the first boy in line. He brought it down with a thwack, and the cane, already breaking, split in two.
"Oh my God, stop it!" I stood up and cried, my hands over my mouth. "He didn't even do anything!"
The teachers and students laughed, and I ran over to try to grab the cane from the teacher. By then he'd picked up a fresh one off the top of the cabinet. He held it out to the next student in line, who obligingly stepped forward and turned her backside to the teacher. He brought down the cane three times, as the first boy proceeded to the next two teachers.
I'd been standing in shock this whole time, when the teacher grinned and asked, "Would you like a taste?"
"No," I said shakily, and sat back down. I watched with my hands over my mouth, sometimes crying out, sometimes biting back a smile because the situation was so surreal I could only laugh. The whole class went through three rounds of caning, the younger ones jumping up, the girls yelping, and the older boys taking it silently.
The teachers weren't hitting hard, but still, it seems awful to me. They were caning the entire class, which had done nothing wrong, simply to "keep them disciplined," the French teacher said. The students did not seem to mind too much. They considered it normal and thought my horror was amusing. It was my first time seeing it, but apparently it happens almost every day.
In the U.S., we are taught from day one never to hit a child or hurt someone physically. Here, hitting is part of the education. They say they need it to keep the students disciplined, that otherwise they won't do their work or respect their teachers.
Who am I to disapprove of their customs? Am I imposing Western standards or viewpoints? Isn't it hypocritical of me to be righteous about a few light thwacks when I do nothing about the huge amounts of child labor I help to sustain as an American consumer? Is my liberal, "love-every-child-and-teach-them-with-kindness" attitude naïve? Can it be effective here?
These are the questions I am wrestling with as I adjust to the attitudes and ways of Ghana. I find that I am learning much about my ways at home by living and teaching away from home. I don't think my attitude toward hitting children will change by the end of my time here, but I wonder how my viewpoints might shift or adjust.

is this a stupid question if my iPhone isn't jail-broken then is there any point in backing up SHSH
i heard that spirit only work if ur 3gs iphone activate already, am not activated cause i dont have a legit sim in my country,, can spirit work for none activate phone pls help
Comex twitter--
Can someone with tethered 3.1.2 send me a copy of the file in /
com.apple.kernelcaches (+ device
model, tool used)?
Whats that file for?
Oh yeah!
i always thought they would make a cydia for iPad kinda like Settings for iPad, thanks for the reminder about Firmware Umbrella, i had almost forgot
Cydia looks silly on the iPad xD
All this teasing isn't helping. We've already seen a jailbreak video a month ago. It's not like the 3G is any different. Apple can't patch an exploit they know nothing about yet.
didn't take long.
yeh its confirmed, but are you kidding me. we wait for ipad (wifi), then for ipad 3g, now were waiting again.
next it will be os 4.
and then iphone 4g
and then what!
its pathetic :@
why do i think "Spirit" is a joke/scam my Question is why not Lol,It seems very Suspicious we will all see tho I guess
To give people a couple days warning to back up their SHSH isn't too much to ask. Apple has pushed out a patch in less than 24 hours after an exploit becomes public in the past. Once Apple pushes the patch they no longer sign the current firmware if anyone has any problem for any reason you're stuck upgrading and then complaining about when the NEXT jailbreak will be out.
You know what i think, maybe this whole website is fake and im not really writing this. Maybe im fake and these letters coming from my fake iphone is also fake. Seriously people just please be patient. Its real but needs to be tested at all angles. You cant release something to this many people without knowing for sure its not going to brick a miilion iphones in less then 30 seconds. I feel like i keep turning to the back seat and yelling at my kids saying " NO DAMNIT, WERE NOT THERE YET ".

In case you're wondering where American ingenuity went, you can look no further than Slot Mods, the makers of hand-made, custom race tracks to find your answer.
Taking a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro dressed in the legendary deep blue Sunoco finish of Roger Penske's old Trans-Am race car, Slot Mods went about and customized it to be a different kind of eye candy. No, they didn't rebuild it to run out on the track, but rather, they customized it to be the track itself.
Taking their expertise on building custom race tacks and using it to the full hilt, Slot Mods managed to turn an old race car into one that brings the track with it. If for nothing else, it makes for the kind of conversation-starter that Slot Mods has come to be known for.
Check out the video of the Slot Mods race track build on a 1969 Chevrolet Sunoco Camaro. Really, you couldn't make this stuff up - even if you wanted to.

Three Years Later, the Traveling Pants Still Fit
- Wednesday, August 06, 2008
DVD Release Date: November 18, 2008
Theatrical Release Date: August 6, 2008
Rating: PG-13 (mature thematic material, sensuality)
Genre: Drama/Romance
Run Time: 117 min.
Directors: Sanaa Hamri
Actors: Alexis Bledel, Amber Tamblyn, America Ferrera, Blake Lively, Blythe Danner, Michael Rady, Rachel Nichols
It's amazing how much can change in Hollywood in just three short years. When The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants hit theaters just three years ago, both Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel were enjoying the spoils of small screen success in critically acclaimed roles on Joan of Arcadia and Gilmore Girls respectively. Now with both of those shows relegated to reruns and DVD box sets, the spotlight has eventually shifted to their co-stars Blake Lively (Gossip Girl) and America Ferrera (Ugly Betty).
Of course, all of these ladies have been acting long enough to know that's how the story often goes in La La Land, and thankfully, their chemistry as best friends brought together by a magical pair of jeans (magical as in they perfectly fit four very different body types) is just as vibrant as ever.
Proving that popular books can be beautifully adapted for the big screen when the script is written just right, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 has all the verve and spunk of the original as Tibby (Tamblyn), Lena (Bledel), Bridget (Lively) and Carmen (Ferrera) wrestle with all the questions that come with being a college-age girl. But rather than embrace the bed-hopping antics of so many shows geared toward the teen and college female audience, Traveling Pants 2 tackles far more substantive fare in a surprisingly thoughtful way.
For Tibby, the decision to have sex with her boyfriend of 10 months ends up rattling her to her very core. Instead of glamorizing the act or addressing it in a cliché, after-school-special sort of way, Tibby is forced to really wrestle with the consequences of her decision when she suspects she might be pregnant.
Then in a much less dramatic (but no less relatable) storyline that also involves the opposite sex, Lena wrestles with a broken heart (and the definition of true love) when she discovers that her ex, Kostos (Michael Rady), has quickly moved on following their break-up and has (gasp!) gotten married and is about to become a father.
Meanwhile, while Bridget is on an archeological dig in Turkey, the loss of her mother to suicide causes her to want to reconnect with her grandmother to find out more about the woman she feels like she hardly knew. Finally, Carmen also finds herself in contemplative, identity-shaping territory when she's surprisingly cast as the lead in a college Shakespeare production. Slightly less insecure than in the original Traveling Pants, Carmen—and her confidence—is still put to the test as the support system that she, Tibby, Lena and Bridget have is rocked as they each get busier and busier and don't find as much time to talk.
And the inevitable strain on true friendship that results when face time is replaced by the occasional e-mail is front and center in this latest installment. Emphasizing the value of authentic friendships, this strong bond between women through good times and bad is one of the best things about Traveling Pants 2. But unlike the Sex and the City movie where the better moments happened when the famous foursome was hanging out together, the individual storylines of Tibby, Lena, Bridget and Carmen manage to pack as much of an emotional punch as when they're all together.

Terence McDonnell
Kellogg Assistant Professor of Sociology
Ph.D., Northwestern University, 2009
Research Interests
Culture and Media, Health and AIDS, Social Movements, Gender and Sexuality , Urban Studies, Theory, Methods
Terry McDonnell is a cultural sociologist (PhD 2009, Northwestern University) who studies the role of objects and media in everyday life. More specifically, he questions what makes particular cultural objects powerful (and others not) by following the often unanticipated pathways that culture travels once it leaves the design studio, the ad agency, and the publisher.
Terry's recent research explains why HIV/AIDS media campaigns often fail to change peoples' belief and behavior in response to the disease. Understanding people's creativity is at the core of this work. He finds that communities often use AIDS campaigns in unexpected ways--women reconstitute female condoms as bangle bracelets and people decorate their homes with AIDS advertisements. Work from this project was recently published in the American Journal of Sociology and won an honorable mention for the Geertz Prize in Cultural Sociology. Other recent research has appeared in Social Problems, the Annual Review of Sociology, and Social Psychology Quarterly. For his next project Terry turns his attention to developing a sociology of misinterpretation.

Digging to America
by Tyler, Anne
Print this page
Email this list
1. The Donaldson's and the Yazdan's meet at the airport on the day that they are meeting their adopted daughters. They begin to socialize yearly to celebrate the adoptions. What were the surface reasons that this friendship was formed? What are the underlying reasons for the friendship?
2. Bitsy Donaldson and Ziba Yazdan have very different mothering styles. How are they different? How are they the same? Are the differences cultural or just a difference in parenting styles?
3. Sami Yazdan's mother, Maryam, does not consider herself an American. In what ways does Maryam feel like an outsider?
4. There is tension between Maryam and her daughter-in-law Ziba. Whatare some of the issues that they have encountered with each other? Are these cultural or just normal family problems?
5. Maryam hosts a party for both families at her home. The fact that she had married Sami's father in an arranged marriage is exposed and she is teased about it. Connie talks to her and says "All those people who know you so well, they think they can say just anything." Are these family squabbles universal? Is Maryam's anger related to her feelings of being an outsider?
6. Bitsy Donaldson had been married before she married Brad. She never felt accepted by Brad's parents. Did you find her to be a more complex character than you originally thought when you first met her in the story?
7. Sami Yazdan was American born and American raised. Yet he often asked the question, "These Americans: can you figure them out?" and then recounted humorous anecdotes about American behavior. Why do you think he enjoyed these discussions? Do other social/cultural groups do this same thing?
8. Maryam accepts Dave's proposal of marriage, but later feels it is the biggest mistake of her life. She says she cannot marry him because "He is so American." Later Dave says about Maryam's refusal that she is reluctant to leave her own culture. Is this true? What were his expectations in this marriage? Is he reluctant to leave his own culture?
9. This book is all about acceptance and the tensions between different cultures, men and women, parents and children and the young and the old. Are these tensions universal? How can they be eased? Did these families resolve some of their problems?

Jonah Lehrer's Deceptions
The celebrated journalist fabricated Bob Dylan quotes in his new book, Imagine: How Creativity Works
"It's a hard thing to describe," Bob Dylan once mused about the creative process. "It's just this sense that you got something to say."
The sense that one has something to say, some story to relate, is the stuff that fuels all writers. That Dylan observation can be found in the first chapter of journalist Jonah Lehrer's best-selling new book Imagine: How Creativity Works, an exploration of how neuroscience explains creative genius. Lehrer has much to say on the matter, from a meditation on the inventor of the Post-It note to an investigation into the way Bob Dylan's mind works, which included the quote above.
The problem, though, is that there is no proof that Dylan ever said this.
Last month, Lehrer was accused of a curious journalistic offense: the act of "self-plagiarism." Lehrer, a staff writer at The New Yorker and celebrated author of three books, cannibalized his own work, posting often word-for-word excerpts from Imagine on The New Yorker's blog without noting that it had been published elsewhere. To some, it was a tenuous charge—as one journalist commented to me, this was like "being accused of stealing food from your own refrigerator." Others highlighted the pressures brought to bear on young writers to produce more and more content.
It wasn't the first time Lehrer's fellow writers had raised questions about his work. Reviewing his first book, Proust Was a Neuroscientist, philosopher Jonathon Keats upbraided Lehrer for a narrative larded with examples that "arbitrarily and often inaccurately" supported his thesis. The writer Edward Champion, who catalogued Lehrer's recent recyclings on his blog, stated baldly that Lehrer was guilty of "plagiarizing" a paragraph from fellow New Yorker writer Malcolm Gladwell. A New York Times reviewer catalogued the "many elementary errors" in Imagine. And the New Republic's Isaac Chotiner, in a devastating review of Imagine, chided Lehrer for "borrowing (heavily)" from economist Edward Glaeser and claimed that "almost everything" in his exegesis of Bob Dylan's song "Like a Rolling Stone" was "inaccurate, misleading, or simplistic."
As it turns out, Chotiner may have been onto more than he understood. I'm something of the Dylan obsessive—piles of live bootlegs, outtakes, books—and I read the first chapter of Imagine with keen interest. But when I looked for sources to a handful of Dylan quotations offered by Lehrer—the chapter is sparsely and erratically footnoted—I came up empty and in one case found two fragments of quotes, from different years and on different topics, welded together to create something that happily complemented Lehrer's argument. Other quotes I couldn't locate at all.
When contacted, Lehrer provided an explanation for some of my archival failures: He claimed to have been given access, by Dylan's manager Jeff Rosen, to an extended—and unreleased—interview shot for Martin Scorsese's documentary No Direction Home. Two of the quotes confounding me, he explained, could be found in a more complete version of that interview that is not publicly available. As corroboration, he offered details of the context in which the comments were delivered and brought up other topics he claimed Dylan discussed in this unreleased footage.
Over the next three weeks, Lehrer stonewalled, misled, and, eventually, outright lied to me. Yesterday, Lehrer finally confessed that he has never met or corresponded with Jeff Rosen, Dylan's manager; he has never seen an unexpurgated version of Dylan's interview for No Direction Home, something he offered up to stymie my search; that a missing quote he claimed could be found in an episode of Dylan's "Theme Time Radio Hour" cannot, in fact, be found there; and that a 1995 radio interview, supposedly available in a printed collection of Dylan interviews called The Fiddler Now Upspoke, also didn't exist. When, three weeks after our first contact, I asked Lehrer to explain his deceptions, he responded, for the first time in our communication, forthrightly: "I couldn't find the original sources," he said. "I panicked. And I'm deeply sorry for lying."
I asked Lehrer about seven Bob Dylan quotes in the chapter—three of which aren't detectable anywhere else, at least not in the forms in which they appear in the book; three others of which include portions of real Dylan quotes; and one that is dramatically removed from its original context to conform to the narrative of Imagine. Lehrer claims that some of these anomalies can be attributed to the editing process—he told me he excised 10,000 words from his original draft of the Dylan chapter—and insists that all of the unattributed quotes do come from somewhere; he simply cannot find their sources.
It is, though, difficult to imagine that there exist Bob Dylan quotes discovered and revealed by Jonah Lehrer, given the singer's reclusiveness—journalists are rarely granted access, and Lehrer hasn't claimed to have interviewed Dylan—and the deep fanaticism of his fan base, who treat his every utterance as worthy of deconstruction and analysis. After significant archival digging, with assistance from a historian deeply versed in all things Dylan, I haven't been able to locate a number of the quotes cited in Imagine.
I was first troubled by Lehrer's handling of a rather well-known Dylan remark, recounted in countless biographies and websites. Lehrer writes, "Whenever Dylan read about himself in the newspaper, he made the same observation: 'God, I'm glad I'm not me,' he said. 'I'm glad I'm not that.' " But in his classic documentary of Dylan's 1965 tour of the United Kingdom, Dont Look Back, D.A. Pennebaker's camera catches the singer peering at a newspaper story about a recent concert and muttering, "God, I'm glad I'm not me." Where the utterance used by Lehrer—"I'm glad I'm not that"—comes from is unknown, as there is no verifiable reference to Dylan ever saying this. (And it's not clear how Lehrer divines that Dylan said this "whenever" he read about himself.) When I asked Lehrer about this, he admitted that he didn't know either, promising it would be corrected in future editions of the book.
But then other, more troubling anomalies began to emerge. In another quote mined from Dont Look Back, in which Dylan is asked by a pestering Time magazine journalist about the inspiration for his songs, Lehrer quotes Dylan as saying: "I just write them. There's no great message. Stop asking me to explain." The last sentence sharpens and simplifies Lehrer's point—that Dylan's brilliance isn't easily explicable. But it doesn't appear in Dont Look Back.

World Soccer views and news
Who is new Inter coach Gian Piero Gasperini?
It is the question on the lips of many football fans around the world. Why would the 2010 European champions recruit an unknown as coach?
Inter would argue Gasperini is not a nobody having guided Genoa to decent success in Serie A but the fact he was sacked by the mid-table side in November is not particularly aupiscious. He was also shocked to get the job.
Some may ask why no other club recruited him until now, but the simple answer is that coaches in Serie A are not allowed to train two team in the same season.
This doesn't mean Gasperini was Inter's first choice though. Far from it. Marcelo Bielsa, Andre Villas-Boas and Sinisa Mihajlovic were all contacted along with probably several other more high profile figures.
Soccer Break Wednesday – Champions League week special
Got your breath back yet? Perfected the Dejan Stankovic volley in your mirror ready to take out on the pitch? Well Tuesday's first installment of four Champions League quarter-final evenings was spectacular and there is more to come on Wednesday.
First, a recap of last night. The Real Madrid backlash did kick in, though against the 10 men of Tottenham Hotspur and two extremely well-taken goals that on another night may have gone wide of the post.
Serie A gets wackier as Leonardo joins Inter
Italian soccer on the pitch has a largely undeserved image of being boring, with 1-0 wins and catenaccio supposedly the norm.
Off the pitch Serie A is surely the craziest league in Europe with match-fixing scandals, coaches being sacked the day before the season, and players and managers switching between rivals like they were picking teams in the school playground.
Ferrara's Rocky spirit cannot hide the failures of another rookie
Under pressure Juventus boss Ciro Ferrara has come out fighting after a fourth defeat in five matches but it may not be enough for another first-time coach to save his job.
"One of my friends, one of the few I have at the moment, said to me, 'you are like Rocky'. I am full of punches and blood but I say to my opponent, I am not hurt, punch harder because you are not hurting me," Ferrara said in the wake of a 3-0 home defeat by AC Milan.
Serie A coaches gang up on the kids of today
The coaches of the three biggest Serie A clubs recently indulged in what has always been one of the favourite pastimes of the older and wiser — picking fault with today's youngsters.
Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho kicked things off when he criticised 19-year-old forward Mario Balotelli's approach in training and suggested that footballers of his age were more interested in Ferraris and Bentleys than getting on with the job.
Milan avoid another Didaster but are they reborn after Real win?
A memorable 3-2 victory for AC Milan at Real Madrid on Wednesday as much for the goalkeeping howlers as great play.
When Milan keeper Dida produced an all too frequent error to give Raul the chance to equal Gerd Mueller's record of 66 goals in the three main European club competitions, it looked like a familiar story for a struggling Milan this season under new coach Leonardo.
Should Leonardo listen to Berlusconi about Ronaldinho?
After putting Leonardo in charge of AC Milan, owner Silvio Berlusconi has been trying to help the novice coach get to grips with the job with advice on how to tease the best from Ronaldinho.
The Italian premier, who has again denied he is considering selling a stake in the club, thinks Ronaldinho can be Milan's "Usain Bolt" and fill the gap left by his Brazilian compatriot Kaka if he is used as a second striker rather than an playmaker.
Do Juventus or Milan have the next Guardiola?
There is nothing new about putting expensively assembled football teams into the hands of former players with glorious on-field pasts and little coaching experience. But I think it's fair to say that Pep Guardiola's remarkable success in his maiden season in the Barcelona dugout contributed to AC Milan and Juventus recently appointing novice managers Leonardo and Ciro Ferrara.
Juve's Italy defender Nicola Legrottaglie said he sees Ferrara as "the Italian response to Guardiola". Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani, meanwhile, preferred to compare Leonardo to the precedent they set with Fabio Capello, who like the Brazilian was a club director before his 1991-96 stint in charge that produced four Serie A titles and a Champions League.
