Massage Parlors Push Out Mom-and-Pop Shops in Downtown Milan
In Milan's fashion district, home to designers Dolce & Gabbana SpA and Prada SpA, one type of business is booming amid stagnant economic growth and slumping retail sales: massage parlors.
Almost 100 massage parlors have opened in Milan this year, a rate of about one every two days, at a time when butchers, grocery stores and hairdressers are shutting down as they struggle to pay rents.
"In the first half, we had a net loss of more than 100 shops in Milan due to the crisis," said Simonpaolo Buongiardino, an executive for the city's Confcommercio retailers' association. "On city-center streets, rents are just too high for small retailers."
Massage parlors, many operated by Chinese immigrants, are snapping up available retail space, helped in part by 2007 reforms to Italy's commercial rules that make it easier to open shops. Police and officials in Milan allege the businesses may actually be used for prostitution.
"We're investigating," said Deputy Mayor Riccardo De Corato, who's responsible for Milan's municipal police. "In almost 80 percent of the cases, they're fronts for prostitution."
Italy's business capital had 368 parlors as of July, compared with about 200 at the beginning of 2009, according to data compiled by Milan's chamber of commerce. By contrast, 824 retailers closed during the 12 months through June, as small retailers' revenue fell 3.9 percent in the second quarter.
Low Pay
Vacancy rates in central Milan rose to 3 percent in 2009 from 2 percent in 2007, said Mario Breglia, chairman of Scenari Immobiliari, a real-estate research firm with offices in Milan and Rome. The Italian economy may expand 1 percent this year, trailing estimates of 3.25 percent growth for Germany and 2.05 percent for Switzerland, according to analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
Opening a massage parlor requires a relatively small investment, entails almost no fixed costs and workers are paid only a percentage of the revenue they generate, said Marco Wong, chairman of Chinese community association Associna, who added that some are used for prostitution.
The Chinese in Milan are "diversifying their investments as traditional businesses like restaurants suffer during the crisis," Wong said.
Chinese citizens run 77 of the 96 massage parlors opened in Milan this year, 166 in all, municipal statistics show.
While authorities have shut five massage businesses this year in Milan for prostitution violations, there's little they can do to keep new ones from opening since Italy liberalized its services industry in 2007 with the so-called Bersani laws, De Corato said in an interview. Massage parlors "don't need a specific license," he said.
'Happy Ending'
The increase in massage parlors may also be an unintended result of a government crackdown designed to get prostitution off the streets and deter potential clients through heavy fines.
Tougher penalties have "ushered in a return to receiving clients discreetly in homes and the proliferation of massage parlors, where massage isn't the main service offered," according to an Aug. 25 report by consumer research group Codacons.
"I didn't ask for anything extra, it was included in the price," said Federico, 33, who recently visited a Chinese massage parlor in central Milan. He declined to disclose his last name. "I paid 30 euros ($38) for a half-hour massage with a 'happy ending.' The atmosphere was really cozy. I may do it again."
Hemingway to Kafka
Organized prostitution has been banned in Italy since 1958. Until then, the trade was legal in bordellos, like the "bawdy houses" visited by soldiers in Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms." While Franz Kafka found Milan's Duomo cathedral "tiresome" during a 1911 visit, he wrote enthusiastically about the city's "Real Eden" bordello in his diaries.
The Brera district, now known for its art museums and restaurants, was home to many brothels at the time.
Politicians periodically consider whether to reopen the brothels, including a 2008 proposal from Daniela Santanche, currently an undersecretary in Silvio Berlusconi's government. Lucio Malan, a senator in the premier's People of Liberty party, proposed a budget amendment in June to legalize prostitution and bring in as much as 3 billion euros in tax revenue.
Legal or not, retailers are concerned the parlors' presence hurts their business, Confcommercio's Buongiardino said.
"It's not a nice thing for customers to see," he said, acknowledging there's little that can be done to keep more parlors from opening.
Some Italian store owners are less concerned.
"They're discreet businesses," said Giuliana Berta, who runs a children's designer clothing outlet two doors away from a massage parlor in Milan's fashion district. "I'm more worried about where the money is coming from. That's what the authorities should be focusing on."

Warburg Pincus Invests $100 Million in Indian Logistics Co.
Mumbai -- Warburg Pincus India Pvt. Ltd, the private equity fund that has deployed $2.5 billion in India, invested $100 million in logistics firm Continental Warehousing Corp. (Nhava Sheva).
Continental is part of the NDR Group, which has one of the largest warehousing networks in India with 6.5 million square feet of storage area in 70 locations.
The fresh infusion of funds will be used to build more warehouses. Continental plans to build terminals in Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Panipat by the end of the financial year, said Amruthesh Reddy, executive director of the Chennai-based company.
"Since the capital requirement is intensive," Continental aims to go public in the next 18 months to two years.
The company, previously, had raised funds from private equity firms Aureos India Advisers Pvt. Ltd, ePlanet Ventures and IL&FS Investment Managers Ltd (IIML). Warburg's investment comes after one of the early investors exited the deal, while the other two have sold part of their stakes. Mr. Reddy declined to give specifics.
"We have been following the logistics space in India for many years now," said Vishal Mahadevia, managing director, Warburg Pincus. The company also has invested in Gangavaram Port Ltd and IMC Ltd, a bulk liquid-storage company.
"Logistics is a very large market but due to bottlenecks in infrastructure, the cost of logistics is very high," Mr. Mahadevia said.
The government's plan to implement the goods and services tax was another reason for the investment, he added. The tax is expected to level state taxes and obviate the need for multiple warehouses, resulting in the emergence of large warehousing hubs in key locations.
There's a huge demand for storage space, according to a report by consulting firm KPMG India Pvt. Ltd, which estimates that an additional 120 million square feet of warehousing space will be needed by 2012 to bridge the demand-supply gap.
"Several leading companies and logistics services providers have already set up these large warehouses, but many more are in desperate need of capital and knowhow from investors and operators to capitalize on the opportunity," said Gagan Seksaria, associate director, and Chandan Choubey, a senior analyst at consulting firm KPMG in a December report.
Uday Palsule, director at Pune-based Spear Logistics Pvt Ltd, called it a sensible investment by Warburg Pincus, considering the trade potential and need for dry ports. Shipping lines, exporters, importers and logistics companies want dedicated infrastructure to move their cargo by rail to various ports, he said.
Private equity investments in the logistics space declined from 17 transactions worth $491 million in 2008 to 10 deals worth $182 million in 2009, according to Venture Intelligence, which tracks such investments in India. In 2010, there have been 11 transactions worth $245 million, so far.
Spark Capital was the financial adviser to Warburg Pincus on this transaction.

A popular phrase today is: "Women are...." followed by all the

How about "Women are...." - depends on the woman or women you are talking about; the same with men. Men and women are what they make themselves.
Men shouldn't buy pornography and women wouldn't pose for it if men and women were all as they should be. Both do it for money, the love of which is the ROOT of all evil.
Men should treat women with respect and women should treat men with respect. Anyone else tired of the double standards?
I know plenty of men and boys who are far from being "rats and snails and puppy dogs' tails" and many women who are definitely NOT "sugar and spice and all things nice". Judge every one by the content of their character and not by the color of the skins

Anyone that looks at a women's magazine read mainly by women knows men had nothing to do with the nude photos of pregnant women they love to put in there.
So, why do women keep objectifying themselves and blaming men for it?

Kate Hudson Wore a 'Disguise' to the Manhattan Polo Classic This Weekend
She needn't have bothered — Madonna didn't care that she was there, anyway. And more in our gossip roundup.
Kate Hudson showed up at the Manhattan Polo Classic this weekend "disguised" in a floppy hat and sunglasses, ostensibly to hide from her current flame's ex, Madonna, who was also in attendance. She needn't have bothered: Madonna "literally didn't care" about Hudson's presence, a witness, whom we can only assume is Andrew Cuomo, told the Daily News. "She doesn't need to compete with Kate, because she will always be Queen Bee." Snap. Kofi Annan lunched with a guest in the members-only Trustees Dining Room at the Met.

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 3:30 PM GMT on December 01, 2006
At least 388 people have died in the Philippines due to the landfall of devastating Typhoon Durian, which slammed ashore in the central Philippine Islands yesterday. Durian hit extreme southern Luzon Island in the province of Albay as a Category 4 storm with sustained winds of 145 mph. The typhoon passed directly over Mayon, the most active volcano in the Philippines and one of the country's most famous tourist attractions because of its near-perfect cone. Loose rock that the volcano had deposited in a July eruption rushed down the slopes in the form of deadly mudslides, thanks to Durian's torrential rains. Estimates from NASA's TRMM satellite of the rain amounts were 8-12 inches in a 24 hours period. The mudslides swept into villages and rivers at the foot of the Mayon Volcano. Evacuations of the villages had not been ordered, since the region had never before experienced severe mudslides from a typhoon.
Next, Durian hit the island of Marinduque as a Category 3 typhoon with sustained winds of 120 mph. Virtually every building on the island was damaged or destroyed, and Durian was judged the worst typhoon ever to hit the island. In all, the death toll from Durian makes this storm more deadly than Typhoon Xangsane, which killed 218 people in the Philippines on September 27. Durian is the fourth major typhoon to hit the Philippines this year.
Figure 1. Visible satellite image from NASA's Aqua satellite of Typhoon Durian from 05 GMT November 30, 2006 (1pm local time in the Philippines). The Mayon volcano was in the southern eyewall underneath an impressive tower of high cumulonimbus clouds at the time. Image credit: NASA.
Durian is now a weakening Category 1 typhoon over the South China Sea, and is expected to weaken further as it continues westwards towards Vietnam. A large area of dry air over the region should reduce Durian to tropical storm strength by the time it reaches Vietnam on Monday, where it is not expected to do significant damage.
I'll save my discussion of why the 2006 hurricane season was so mild for next week. Expect a short update on Durian Saturday.

Alas, a beautiful sunny morning was not to be for the
school's official reopening yesterday.
But pupils and staff at the new school took yesterday's wet
weather in their stride, and even joked about it with
Education Minister Hekia Parata who came to Dunedin
especially to open the facility.
''I'd like to say it's very unusual for the weather to be so
wet like this,'' principal Ben Sincock joked, as Ms Parata
cut the official ribbon inside the school hall rather than
outside, in front of one of the school's new teaching blocks.
Ms Parata congratulated Mr Sincock for turning ''the
chrysalis'' that was formerly Caversham School into the
beautiful modern learning environment that was now Carisbrook
She encouraged pupils to ''work hard, but enjoy your new
school, and engage in your learning''.
College Street School, Caversham School and Calton Hill
School were merged into Carisbrook School in 2012.
However, after community consultation, it was decided to
leave the Calton Hill site open as a second campus, with an
option to review its viability at a later date.
College Street School also remained open during 2012 and 2013
because there was no room for the pupils at the new
Carisbrook School site until the $5.6 million two-stage
redevelopment of existing buildings was completed.
The project's completion in February this year means the
school now has two campuses, not three, and all 100 pupils
from the former College Street School have now moved into the
21-classroom Carisbrook School.
Mr Sincock said few would recognise the former Caversham
School now. He paid tribute to staff and pupils for their
support and enthusiasm, despite having to work and learn in a
construction zone and across three sites.
It was clear the pupils loved their new surrounds because
absenteeism at the school had never been so low, he said.
''It tells us you're enjoying coming to school and
Ms Parata also visited St Clair School to view a building
redevelopment project there, and spoke at a public meeting at
the Mornington Presbyterian Community Centre where she gave
an overview of education funding in the 2014 Budget. The
meeting was attended by about 50 people, including teachers
and principals.

This was really good, great characters to backrounds, it has a basic feel to everything but with the theme it has a good meanning aswell, also love the idea of the growing tree and such, nice animation indeed...
Maybe abit more "DEEPER" colors for the balance of the lighter ones...
Good pleasent aimation with nice effort towards characters and story...
Great animation
How can i say it...
It was a great animation, looks like it was based on a true story. Although it was short it had a meaning =)
One thing i didn't like...
It was all you know, 'it' at the end, and then after it goes to this electronic music at the end for the play button 0_o
I liked it, especially I enjoyed the music (it was well suited to situation). Graphics and style nice drawed and animated. Keep up good work!
Nothing more than a Deciduous fan's 'homage'.
It was ok, but Christ, add more of a narrative, more of a reason to feel for the loss of the tree. All you needed was a soundtrack, not any of the effects. I found they took you out of any mood that there was.
Not bad, but not exactly "moving"
Well, ya......it was okay, I guess; the graphics were original and nicely done, and it does illustrate some parts of life pretty nicely, but it wasn't really very sad.

!! ''Beowulf''
!!! [[Literature/{{Beowulf}} Poem]]
* DracoInLeatherPants: Grendel is the kind of monster that kills warriors in their sleep, rips them to shreds, and eats them on the spot. Yet, a lot of adaptations, such as John Gardner's ''Literature/{{Grendel}}'', the 2005 film ''Beowulf and Grendel'', and the 2007 film, tend to portray Grendel sympathetically, despite the fact that in the poem, out of the three monsters, he's the one the narrator condemns the harshest and the most often.
* FirstInstallmentWins: The first portion of the story is the most familiar to the layman, including such well-known elements as Beowulf's having the strength of thirty men and ripping Grendel's arm off.
* HoYay: In Seamus Heaney's translation, Hrothgar's farewell to Beowulf seems extremely... intimate.
* ValuesDissonance:
** To the Anglo-Saxons, Beowulf would be a perfect hero, representing all that the Anglo-Saxons stand for[[note]]Even though he was a [[UsefulNotes/{{Sweden}} Geat]] and most likely a pagan in the original version[[/note]]. To modern readers, Beowulf can come off as a selfish, arrogant brute who perpetually seeks fame.
** Although the text repeatedly conveys that Beowulf's defeat of Grendel was a noble act, the description of the scene is so bone-crunchingly brutal that it makes Beowulf look downright sadistic. You almost feel sorry for Grendel. This is part of the reason that more people are making Grendel a DracoInLeatherPants in modern times. The mere fact that Grendel is [[TheDescendantsOfCain a descendant of Cain]] would've struck most Anglo-Saxons as reason enough for Grendel to be deserving of his miserable life in the swamp--to a modern reader, punishing someone for their ancestor's deeds just comes across as petty.
** The men who do not come to Beowulf's aid in the fight against the dragon are dishonoured, and their male relatives condemned to shame and banishment.
* {{Woolseyism}}: Seamus Heaney's translation. On the one hand, it was done by a UsefulNotes/{{Nobel Prize|In Literature}}-winning poet, so it reads very well to say the least. On the other hand, he took a lot of liberties with the text, such as anglicizing the name "Scyld Scefing" to "Shield Sheafson." Needless to say, there's a BrokenBase on this one.
** One instance was to enforce a [[OneSteveLimit One Beowulf Limit]] -- both Scyld's son and our hero are both called "Beowulf" in the original, and so Heaney changed the former's name to simply "Beow" for clarity.
* TheWoobie: Poor, poor Hrothgar. You just want to build the next wonder of the world, and for years to come a monster is feasting on your men, and you know you can't do anything about it. When you finally get rid of the monster, another one comes and kills one of your best warriors. When ''that'' one is taken care of, you're so grateful towards the hero that did it that you hope to meet him again, but know that you won't because you're dying, and after you're dead, your prized hall is destroyed and your nephew, who you hope to watch over your sons, ends up killing them. Hrothgar's life ''sucks.''
!!! [[Film/{{Beowulf}} 2007 film]]
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Creator/IdinaMenzel singing ''"A Hero Comes Home"'' is just beautiful.
* BestKnownForTheFanservice: Jolie emerging slowly from the water is probably the first thing people will recall about the film. That or Beowulf fighting naked.
* EvilIsSexy: Grendel's Mother.
* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: Stories of heroism are basically lies told in order to cover up questionable or outright shitty behavior, and by the time you realize you shouldn't have told the story in the first place, you'll be too old and filled with regret for it to matter. This isn't entirely untrue - see Plato's Republic for more on the dangers of "true" heroic stories.
* FanficFuel: The Mother's unknown background and the established setting of her seducing young heroes in order to mate with them and give birth to monsters is more than enough to stimulate the mind of many fanfic writers.
* GeniusBonus: Grendel's Mother having unnatural feet calls to mind numerous demons in various world mythologies who were said to have bird/beast-like feet. Usually this was to indicate that they were not human.
* HilariousInHindsight: After Beowulf tears off Grendel's arm, King Hrothgar (played by {{Creator/Anthony Hopkins}}) says "Odin be praised." [[{{Film/Thor}} Guess he heard his praise after all...]]
** This wouldn't be the last time {{Creator/Angelina Jolie}} played a supernatural creature who has [[Film/{{Maleficent}} a dark past with a human king]].
* {{Narm}}:
** Naked Beowulf, and the SceneryCensor the animators employ to hide his penis. It's hard to find a critic who didn't compare this to ''Film/AustinPowers''.
** Grendel's character design, while pretty disturbing in its own right, can pass for downright silly. Some noted that he is made to look like a giant fish finger.
** Grendel's mother's high heels.
* NarmCharm: In a movie where the protagonist is the largest of {{Large Ham}}s, this isn't surprising. Other characters [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CavYj784Y8Y get in on the action, too]].
* NightmareFuel:
** As Grendel's Mother lays Grendel's body to rest, she is humming and quietly sobbing. Eventually her wailing degenerates into an utterly blood-curdling shriek that echoes throughout the mountains. Grendel's Mother is the original MamaBear in Anglo-Saxon folklore, and a viewer knows then and there that she is ''pissed beyond all reason and is coming for revenge''.
** The loss of Grendel's arm. Instead of just ripping it off, Beowulf pulls it taut with a chain and ''crushes'' it off by slamming Herot's door on it repeatedly while Grendel desperately tries to tell the Geats that he's not a demon and cries in fear as Beowulf screams at him.
* OlderThanTheyThink: This film is often accused of plagiarizing ''Film/ThreeHundred'', with the line [[SayMyName "I! AM! BEOWULF!"]] being a bit too similar to "THIS! IS! SPARTA!" and the line "TONIGHT! WILL BE DIFFERENT!" being rather akin to "TONIGHT! WE DINE! IN HELL!" What these people don't realize is that there's a thing called AnimationLeadTime. Filming of ''Beowulf'' was done long before filming of ''300'' began.
* StoicWoobie: Wealthow verges on this when she looks a bit sad at the beginning of the movie.
* StrawmanHasAPoint: Beowulf's decision to [[spoiler:accept treat of Grendel's mother]] might come just from power hunger, but considering that she is apparently a magical and indestructible creature, and that at least he got some decades of peace for his kingdom by doing it, one has to wonder if he had another option besides still try to fight her, get killed for the efforts and spin the wheel again.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: A ''few'' people were ''somewhat miffed'' about the changes made between poem and film. Others shrugged and said, "It's a ''really'' old poem, and adaptations are par for the course."
* UncannyValley: A bit disturbing at first, but gets better as the film goes on. Clearly, the crew learned a few things from ''Literature/ThePolarExpress''. For the most part, the expressions and characters themselves don't invoke this a whole lot. But there is a slightly creepy air whenever they're prominently handling objects or interacting with them, due to the objects not seeming to have any weight and simply "float" in the characters' hands.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Director Robert Zemeckis had originally intended to release an NC-17 version for IMAX theatres and a PG-13 version for regular theatres but was forced by Paramount to deliver an R rating. The final version was rated PG-13, which surprised many people on the production (including Angelina Jolie, who did not see the film as family-friendly and refused to let her children see it).

click above to view more JCW-related MINI images
Back in December of 2006, we reported that BMW had officially acquired the John Cooper Works garage with the intent of making it the MINI brand's official performance label, much like the M division is to BMW. Over a year later, Munich has finally relaunched the JCW division, which is headlined by the evolutionary new logo you see here.
The rebranding of JCW is more than an exercise in badge engineering, however. The new effort draws on the decades-long heritage that has been shared between Cooper and MINI, starting with the first MINI that F1 engineer John Cooper tuned and continuing through the resuscitation of the MINI brand by BMW to today's rapidly expanding second-gen range. John's son Mike Cooper continues on as chief executive to oversee JCW's activities under the Bavarian wing, which will include products for both road and track.
In addition to the one-make John Cooper Works CHALLENGE racing series (spec car shown above), JCW will also continue to offer the John Cooper Works Tuning Kit as well as a catalogue of individual components for the top-of-the-line Cooper S versions of the MINI hatch, convertible and Clubman. The bottom line is that with JCW under the same white roof, MINI can now offer even more packages and options than the gazillion choices already in store for buyers, all with full factory backing.
BMW released a bunch of retro-licious MINI Cooper JCW pics, which we've put into the gallery below along with descriptions of what you're looking at. The official BMW/MINI press release can also be found after the jump.

Representative Quotes: "There is one type of woman rarely seen in a psychiatrist's office. That is the woman who is glad she is a woman." (page 4)
"Unhappy and neurotic, they may confess to breathlessness, heartburn, muscle twitching, spells of faintness, and continual fatigue. And the more they are involved with careers, the more they are idle, the more they are childless, the more they are fashionably dressed and elaborately made up, the longer is the list of their troubles." (page 3)
Despite the hysterics of the cover, this issue of the Readers' Digest-y Coronet offers much more than just Maryina F. Farnham's screed against post-war ladyhood - a screed, incidentally, that charges career-minded mothers with nothing less than the breakdown of society:
"The spawning ground for most neuroses in our civilization is the home nursery. And the principal agent is rejecting, or otherwise emotionally disordered, mother. It is she who is largely responsible for most of our 750,000 confirmed alcoholics, for millions of other neurotics, for our increasing number of criminals and truants."
More on Farnham in a bit.
First, let's sample Coronet's other riches, such as this glimpse of healthy domestic life.
Coronet breaks all the tough stories.
And asks all the right questions.
And would never limit its misogyny to the ranting of that "noted woman physician."
And would never limit its misogyny to the ranting of that "noted woman physician."
That brings us back to Farnham. In "the Tragic Failure of America's Women," she contends that feminists had "masculinized" women, convincing them that raising children and tending the home no longer held any prestige.
"Acclaim goes to the woman who acquires two college degrees, becomes a foreign correspondent, emerges from three marriages, brings one neurotic brat into the world, and sounds off regularly on current affairs, just like a man."
That Americans no longer exalt motherhood remains a point worth discussing. Unfortunately, Farnham's ulterior motive seems to be demonstrating that women are too keyed-up to have such a discussion. Every couple of paragraphs she blurts some rancorous anecdote about a mother who "loathes" her baby or some generalization like "Few men like a masculinized wife, and few children can thrive under a masculinized mother."
Her finest claim:
"The pet fantasy of the feminists is that childbirth is a period of horrible agony to which women must submit while their carefree husbands pass out cigars. Actually, the entire process is as natural as breathing. The healthy, normal young woman feels little pain, even without anesthesia, unless she has had her wits scared out of her by the warnings of emotionally unstable female acquaintances."
For real women, pain don't hurt.
Farnham concludes "Our young women must be attracted into reconstructing the home as an institution that will give the female sex a sense of importance again." This does not preclude working outside the home. She recommends many "splendid" careers, all part-time, "which may make them even better mothers."
"Such careers are those which do not require antagonistic virtues, but in which feminine skills or viewpoints are urgently needed; for example, nursing, social-service work, child guidance, catering, decorating, play-direction - and, above all, teaching."
Of course, in 1947, as Farnham points out, most states banned married women from teaching! Good luck out there, ladies!
Shocking Detail:
Shocking Detail:
From the back cover:
With course adoptions, even married women like Farnham enjoyed access to thousands of young minds. Note that the kids are reading this very issue.
Look what question Coronet would ask all those school kidsjust three years later.
"Only after considering all the relevant factors will you be in a position to decide for yourself whether the rhythm theory is the right or wrong method to use in your own family planning."
This is the Coronet: if it can't talk you into having baby after baby, it'll trick you into it!

Genre: Gonzo
Feature in gonzo section.
This gonzo feature from Anabolic starts with a bang - a reverse gangbang, that is - and never stops after that. The lucky recipient is Mr. Marcus - while his pole spears pussy after pussy, there's plenty of girl-girl action going on on the sidelines.
Next we are treated to a traditional gangbang, the center of attention being Lucie Lee, who sluts it up like a pro, taking on a great lineup of cocks. Production values are stellar as well, especially the great camera angles that put the viewer right in the middle of the orgiastic goodness. Pre-Nom for Best Gonzo Release.

EMU Athletics in a Death Spiral?
EMU faculty and students urge school to drop out of D-I football. Bet we'll be seeing a lot more of this. https://t.co/1K7OmYinL4— John U. Bacon (@Johnubacon) April 25, 2016
So at least some students and faculty are suggesting that a good way to contribute to solving budget problems at EMU is to drop from D-1 to D-2 (skipping 1-AA entirely).
This would obviously be a pretty big change for the athletic department. And they have sports that aren't disasters. But, of course, football drives the train, and EMU's football program has been a flaming garbage pile for 30 years.
I can attest that the D-2 program here in Duluth, UMD (D-1 in hockey only, obviously) gets as much or more attention in a town with no major teams of its own than EMU does in A2 or Ypsi. They, at least, have a fanbase and a consistent radio broadcast and even a local tv broadcast of home games.
So perhaps it's time. But maybe there are alternate options. Dropping football would certainly be a big step, without gutting the rest of the department, right?
HBO Real Sports - Rutgers sucks, and so does EMU
Did anyone else catch Real Sports the other night? They did a piece about the massive amounts of money Rutgers (and EMU) are wasting on athletics, football in particular.
It was pretty great. Rutgers has lost $312 million over the past decade and EMU $52 million over just the past two years.
Michigan wasn't mentioned but the piece did refer to a "couple dozen" programs that make money or at least break even.
EMU hires Chris Creighton
If you don't know who Harsin is, you probably haven't heard of Chris Creighton -- he's the current head coach for the Drake Bulldogs.
Full story: http://www.footballscoop.com/news/11909-chris-creighton-will-be-the-new-head-coach-at-eastern-michigan
According to footballscoop, Mike Hart was interviewed for the position -- so at least they gave him a shot.
OT: Ron English & Mike Hart to jump out of a plane for new EMU bathrooms
No, this is not from the Onion:
OT: On Right now: Outside the Lines profiles Latipha Cross
Outside the Lines is airing a special on Latifa Cross, a Detroit native who grew up without her parents. She ended up being adopted by abusive parents and eventually became a track star while sleeping in parks and playgrounds. Her high school junior year she would be diagnosed with myloma.
Now at EMU, beating the odds.
Check it out and look for the re-air if you don't see it.
Ron English gets a shout-out in SI.com
From Mandel's College Football Overtime:
Two years later, however, English is soon to be back on a lot of prominent athletic directors' radars. He has Eastern Michigan (5-3) off to its best start since 1995. On Saturday, Eastern beat Western Michigan, 14-10, which coupled with a win the week before over Central Michigan gave the Eagles the Michigan MAC Trophy (yes, this really exists).
I'm glad to see English (and Hart) have some success at Eastern. I hope he stays there for a few years; it's no fun when EMU is a strong candidate to be dropped to FCS. I'd actually love for Michigan to play a "road" game there every once in a while (guarenteed sellout, lots of money for Eastern, easy commute for M fans), but we know DB would never allow that now.

Commonweal Magazine
Trending Topics:
When President George W. Bush used his State of the Union address to decry U.S. dependence on Middle Eastern oil, he made headlines. Two days later, when Donald Rumsfeld offered an apocalyptic rendering of the global war on terror-"they will either succeed in changing our way of life, or we will succeed in changing theirs"-few paid much attention. In the juxtaposition of the president's discovery and his defense secretary's call to arms lies the real story, casting in sharp relief the strategic conundrum facing the United States.
That Americans are "addicted to oil," relying increasingly on imports from what the president delicately called "unstable parts of the world," is manifestly true. The admission qualifies as noteworthy only in that it took Bush so long to acknowledge the problematic implications of this dependency.
Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld's extravagant depiction of the war on terror may also be true-but only so long as the United States persists in the very addiction that the president laments. End American dependence on Middle Eastern oil and the very notion of Islamic radicals posing a serious threat to our way of life becomes preposterous. End our dependence on Middle Eastern oil and the notion that the United States should take it upon itself to forcibly change their way of life becomes absurd. Terrorism won't disappear, but it will become a nuisance rather than a dire threat.

In response to the recent shootings of unarmed black men Alton Sterling and Philando Castile and the killing of five police officers in Dallas, Texas, Physicians for Reproductive Health Board Chair Dr. Willie Parker issued the following statement:
"Physicians for Reproductive Health denounces the senseless, hateful violence committed against unarmed people of color and against police officers in recent days. As reproductive health care providers, we are dedicated to helping women and men exercise their right to lives of autonomy, dignity, self-determination, and opportunity – a right that should be afforded to all people. We serve our patients every day with compassion so that they can make their own decisions regarding their health, their families, and their futures. All acts of violence – and especially those committed against vulnerable people and communities of color, and those seeking to serve and protect them – undermine these fundamental human rights.
"Despite the historic Supreme Court decision last month, women across the country still face near-unprecedented barriers to accessing abortion and reproductive care, a challenge that disproportionately impacts communities of color, and is especially true in the South where I work. Many of the families I serve do not have adequate access to basic health care services. They lack economic opportunity, the freedom to escape lives defined by poverty, and the ability to live in their own communities without fear of discrimination and violence. Every day that I provide care, I see firsthand that the fight for reproductive justice and the fight for racial justice are inextricably linked.
"As physicians, our hearts break in response to the recent tragedies – both for the lives lost, and because of the painful reminder of how much work remains to be done to ensure full equality for our black and brown brothers and sisters. But our resolve to move forward is stronger than ever. Together, we must elevate the voices of women and people of color, listen and learn about the work that needs to be done in our most underserved communities, end discrimination and unequal treatment in health care settings, and show through our actions and through our laws that black lives truly matter."
Parker, OB-GYN with 22 years of experience, travels the South providing abortions in areas with limited access
NEW YORK—Physicians for Reproductive Health (Physicians), the doctor-led national advocacy group, announced Dr. Willie Parker's new role as the organization's new board chair, effective immediately. A nationally renowned spokesperson and advocate for women and reproductive justice, Dr. Parker will grow and strengthen Physicians' leadership in ensuring access to reproductive health care on behalf of doctors, women, advocates, and concerned supporters.
Dr. Parker, an obstetrician-gynecologist with more than two decades of experience, has become a widely recognized and respected advocate for his work providing abortion care throughout the South. He was featured in the documentary 'TRAPPED,' which addresses Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers (TRAP) laws and their impact on access to abortions in Southern states. Dr. Parker's recent work and writing has also been highlighted in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Esquire, Cosmopolitan, and Ebony, among other publications.
"I am truly honored for the opportunity to lead this group of physicians who share a profound commitment to providing women with dignified, compassionate, and medically appropriate reproductive health care," said Dr. Parker. "Although the Supreme Court's recent ruling overturning restrictive abortion laws in Texas was a major victory, it was just one small step toward protecting abortion access across the country. I look forward to working with Physicians for Reproductive Health to continue to fight for change, reduce barriers and stigma, and expand access to reproductive health care."
A longtime Physicians member, Dr. Parker began his advocacy work in 2008 as a fellow with Physicians' Leadership Training Academy, a program that prepares physicians across the country to become lifelong leaders in reproductive health advocacy. He is the first Academy Fellow to become Physicians' board chair.
"Dr. Parker has established himself as a national leader in reproductive health and a passionate advocate for abortion rights," said Jodi Magee, president of Physicians. "We are so proud to have Dr. Parker as our new chair and excited for the progress Physicians will continue to make under his leadership. The expertise of abortion providers is desperately needed in the on-going debate around reproductive health care, and Dr. Parker's leadership will play a pivotal role in the fight to increase women's access to their legal right to reproductive health care. I, along with our partners throughout the Physicians for Reproductive Health network, look forward to working with him in his new role."
As board chair, Dr. Parker will continue the work of immediate past chair Dr. Nancy Stanwood to expand Physicians' presence in the media and further strengthen Physicians' advocacy and education programs. In addition, he will serve as a national spokesperson for Physicians, making reaching and engaging new audiences a major focus of his work.

The future, what do you mean? How can we be in the future?
For decades many of us have been in awe of the possibility of the future. Not that long ago the thought of carrying a single panel computer capable of presenting music, film, books, and games was nothing more than science fiction.
I live by the belief that if man can envisage it, people can create it.
Of course, there is the possibility of going too far, as is famously shown in Planet Of The Apes, circa 1968.
For now we can sit back and relax with a small and hopefully harmless portion of technology that seemingly has the effect of enhancing our lives.

The Book of Audacity

Price: $34.95 US, $40.95 CDN
360 pages
Audacity is an extremely popular, open source audio editor used by musicians, podcasters, and anyone who needs to record and edit audio files. Just because it's free doesn't mean it's a flimsy application. On the contrary, Audacity is immensely powerful, with a bit of a learning curve. Author Carla Schroder does a fabulous job of explaining how and why to use Audacity in her book, The Book of Audacity, published by No Starch Press.
One caveat before reading: while Audacity is a multi-platform application, Schroder's focus is on Windows and Linux. All of her examples and illustrations show Windows and Linux screens; not a Mac in sight. This could be a problem for readers who are very new to Macs and/or computers. Stay with it. It will take a little more effort, but it will be worth it.

Fredonia, N.Y. – The #22 Geneseo women's lacrosse team (5-4,
0-3 SUNYAC) dropped a 9-8 decision at #20 Fredonia (11-0, 3-0 SUNYAC) in a
contest between nationally ranked State University of New York Athletic
Conference (SUNYAC) teams.
The host Blue Devils scored the game's final two goals 88 seconds apart to record the win. The game was tied eight times.
First year defender Liz Felix (Scarsdale/Scarsdale) scored her third goal of the season with 16:06 left in the second half to give the Knights their final lead.
Junior midfielder Meredith Weber (Bellport/Bellport) led Geneseo with two goals and junior midfielder Emily Haggerty (Syracuse/Westhill) recorded a goal and two assists.
Weber's goals – her 20th and 21st of the season – raised her career total to 54 points. Haggerty has a team-leading 36 points this spring. Her 146 career points are sixth all-time at Geneseo. She also contributed team-leading totals of four draw controls and four caused turnovers.
Senior defender Jenna Theofield (East Northport/Northport) added four caused turnovers.
Senior Julie Bernatzky (Mount Sinai/Mount Sinai) stopped 11 shots in goal.

A Greek court began proceedings Tuesday against 13 people accused of being responsible for the sinking of a cruise ship that claimed the lives of two French tourists six years ago.
Those on trial include seven crew members, five staff from Cyprus-based Louis Hellenic Cruises (LHC) that owned the vessel and an employee of risk assessment organisation DNV that had deemed it seaworthy.
The trial is expected to last over a month as over 60 witnesses are to testify, state news agency ANA said.
The defendants face misdemeanour charges including endangering sea transport and causing death and environmental pollution through negligence.
The Sea Diamond sank near the Aegean island of Santorini in April 2007 after hitting a reef.
Two French passengers -- a man and his daughter -- were never found and are assumed dead, but some 1,600 other passengers and the crew were evacuated safely.
The ship sank to a depth of 140 metres (450 feet) with much of its fuel still on board, raising fears of lasting environmental damage.
But the government said that at least two-thirds of the 400 tonnes of fuel onboard was pumped out of the ship after the incident, eliminating any major pollution risks.
Its owners paid for a surface clean-up operation but refused to remove the ship because of the depth, warning that the wreck could fall apart and spill the remaining fuel over a wider area.

Some Charges Dropped Against Former PSU Officials In Sandusky CaseThe Commonwealth's case against three former Penn State officials who had been charged with covering up the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal suffered a severe blow Friday with a ruling by state Superior Court.
Penn State's Sandusky Settlements Now Total Nearly $93MPenn State settled with six more victims or accusers of Jerry Sandusky, according to a new audit that puts the school's total payout in the child sex abuse scandal at nearly $93 million.
Zeoli Show Sheet 11.13.15Rich discussed Donald Trump's plans to bomb ISIS and his comments regarding Ben Carson, Homecoming king and queens becoming 'royals' and Sandusky being awarded pensions. He also discussed the reunion of Guns and Roses, Asian woman booed for calling Blacks racist and Caitlyn Jenner confronted by protesters. Rich also broke news of a terrorist attack occurring in Paris, France.
Ruling Gives Sandusky Back $4,900-A-Month Penn State PensionThe pension is worth about $4,900 a month to Sandusky and his wife, Dottie.

Welcome to Trike-Globetrotter - an official world record attempt to fly a "trike", an open microlight type aircraft, 100.000 miles on all 5 continents!
A fantastic journey in a "trike", an open microlight type aircraft, that looks like a "flying motorcycle" and offers less space than a small sofa in our living room! "100,000 Miles" follows the
German explorers Andreas Zmuda and Doreen Kroeber in their years long adventure of a life time. No one has ever dared to undertake this trip before them. Exposed to the forces of nature like
birds, they fly around the world, with a unobstructed view of the beauty of our earth.
These extreme adventurers are facing personal and technical challenges besides the risky flying conditions. They experience more than one dangerous emergency landing that throws their plans off track. Their biggest adversary remains the unpredictable weather. However, whenever they are looking for support, they experience the incredible hospitality of the local people and the helpfulness of the pilot community.
Follow the adventure on FACEBOOK or on YOUTUBE !
Great news from our aircraft manufacture DTA!
Georges Monier - FAI Microlight / Trike World Champion are employed now at DTA to help to improve there customer service!
He will be in charge to deal with all international matters as German Certification of there gyroplane and giving foreign customers and dealers a great service!
Georges has been flying trikes in microlight competitions for several years, as the co-pilot/navigator of another DTA team member together with Guillaume Richard. Together, they won several French titles, and in 2012 they even won the world champion title with a DTA Combo Surf and the Magic wing.

Immigrant Entrepreneurs: Creating Jobs and Strengthening the Economy
By Marcia Hohn, Ed.D.
Director, Public Education Institute at The Immigrant Learning Center, Inc.
There is widespread agreement across a number of key economic planning groups that immigrant entrepreneurs create jobs and strengthen the economy. Yet, the U.S. immigration system often forces out immigrant entrepreneurs, driving them to other countries that are competing for international talent. Although many people recognize the giants of immigrant entrepreneurship, such as Sergey Brin of Google and Pierre Omidyar of eBay, thousands of other science and technology businesses are quietly making a difference by creating almost half a million jobs for Americans and generating revenue of more than $50 billion. The depth and breadth of immigrant entrepreneurs extend across the spectrum of enterprises, including neighborhood, growth, and transnational businesses. Expansion of employment-based visas would allow companies' access to high-potential foreign individuals who are graduates of U.S. universities. Businesses, cities, and states across the country should support changes in visa policy and work to develop partnerships with immigrant entrepreneurs to create jobs and strengthen the economy.
The report features profiles of immigrant entrepreneurs and shines a light on some of the difficulties they face. Current immigration laws make it difficult for many immigrant entrepreneurs to contribute to the nation's growth. The report contains administrative and legislative proposals that taken together could create an atmosphere that fosters growth.
- Listen to the telebriefing, featuring Benjamin Johnson, Executive Director of the American Immigration Council, Marcia Hohn, director of the Public Education Institute at The Immigrant Learning Center, Inc., Randy Johnson, senior vice president of Labor, Immigration, and Employee Benefits at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce:

Schleich Male Pug
product code: 129792
see more in this range by Schleich
With small and wrinkly faces, pugs have big and friendly personalities. Pugs have been bred to be square in body and compact in form. As very social creatures, pugs are attentive and love to follow people around.
Found in fur colors of black, silver, fawn or apricot, these canines are known to shed quite frequently. Pug lovers find playfulness, stubbornness, and intelligence as their pet's true colors. Requiring care to avoid health problems, pugs need someone to clean their wrinkles and to take them for walks.
Pugs love to sniff in the dirt and get exercise, but they have a hard time keeping their bodies cooled off.

text: Here is the new, $16 million look for the Saratoga Springs City Center. It was unveiled Monday night at the convention space's 25th anniversary party. The renovation will replace the building's tall brick columns with expanses of glass and include added meeting rooms overlooking Broadway. City Center Authority Chairman Michael Toohey, who unveiled the new design, said: "This location will become one of interior and exterior radiance and energy which will visually and physically increase the importance of the north end of Broadway as an economic engine for all of downtown's restaurants, retail shops, attractions and nightlife."

While searching for plugins to add to WP, certain details are only visible after clicking the 'Details' link in the search results. For people who don't like using untested plugins (or at least when picking plugins to use in a site for a client), it gets a bit tedious at times trying to find te 'perfect plugin'. What I propose is essentially a two-part change:
Part 1: Improve Search Feature
While searching for plugins, a small tick-box next to the 'Search Plugins' button labelled 'Tested Plugins' or something similar could be added. Selecting this would only return results that have been tested and have at least one confirmed 'working' report for the currently installed version of WordPress. Option can / should be disabled by default.
Part 2: Search Results List
The list of results from the search currently shows four columns: name, version, rating and description. Considering the majority of monitors used on modern computers, there is ample space for more columns without the list becoming crowded or unreadable. It would be a nice touch to have a column added between 'version' and 'rating' to show the highest version of WordPress that the plugin has a confirmed working report of.
Perhaps as a 'consolation prize' for the plugins this feature hides from the list, a note could be shown above the search results with a single line stating something like "[number] plugins were not included in this search. Click here to search again with these plugins."
I feel these changes changes would streamline the 'Add Plugin' feature quite nicely without reducing the chance of a newly added or updated plugin from being found by those who want it. Yet at the same time, it should help a fair amount with less experienced WordPress users accidentally using experimental plugins and breaking their blog...
Could someone involved with or at at least in contact with the WordPress Dev team perhaps share some thoughts on this idea?

I have a stripped down version of win7 that boots from a usb drive. Is it possible to install Powershell 2 on win7 after it was, forcibly, removed from the initial install?
Try downloading and installing Windows Management Framework, it includes (among other things) PowerShell 2.0. It's meant for Vista, XP and their respective Server versions, but might also work on a stripped down Windows 7.

Why Don't You Buckle Up in Cabs?
It's not like your driver is wildly speeding and swerving through traffic or anything.
Jerry Seinfeld used to do a bit about the inexplicable sense of safety you feel in the back of a cab:
"The really funny thing about New York cabs is that you never get that much scared when you're in the cab. I don't know why, something about being in Manhattan. No matter how dangerous it seems, it's all quite amusing in the back of that cab, isn't it ? He's flying around the road, he's doing 90 up a one-way, and you're going, 'I've never tried that in my car!' It's all a huge joke! It's your life. And somehow it's all happening on TV there, it's all not quite real."
We bring this up now because the Taxi and Limousine Commission has recently become alarmed about how few of its passengers go through the trouble of wearing a seat belt. For some reason, 90 percent of us will buckle up when we're in a regular car, but only 35 percent do it in a taxi. As Seinfeld would say: What's the deal with that? Do you ignore the seat belts because you just don't expect to crash? Or because they're smushed behind the cushion and you're afraid that when you fish them out, you'll put your finger in some kind of sticky, unidentifiable goo-like substance? Are you simply entranced by interviews that take place on a stoop? It has to be something.

I've recently installed WP 2.5 on a client's site and the client needs to use podPress despite it stating that it's only compatible up to 2.3.
Anyway, it all seems to be working swimmingly except the player doesn't display unless you click "play now". It used to display by default.
I've posted on the MightySeek forums to no avail... anyone have *any* tips or fixes or... something?
Thanks! :)

Chronic Health Disabilities
Documenting Chronic Health Disabilities
ACCESS, the Office of Disability Services, strives to insure that qualified students with chronic health conditions are accommodated as needed. ACCESS does not modify requirements that are essential to the program of instruction or provide accommodations for persons whose impairments do not substantially limit one or more major life function.
ACCESS has created the Chronic Health Disability Verification Form to allow us to achieve these goals. Students who wish to receive academic adjustments due to a chronic health condition need to have this form filled out by a qualified health care provider, which may be a certified physician, other diagnosing medical professional, or specialist (such as, but not limited to: an MD, audiologist, neurologist, endocrinologist). The individual completing this form must have first-hand knowledge of the student's condition, should have and will be an impartial professional who is not related to the student.
ACCESS makes the determination of reasonable and appropriate accommodations even though the requested form may include recommendations for accommodations.
If questions arise, students are encouraged to contact ACCESS for guidance at 802-656-7753 or email@example.com.

When the Morning Post writes about the legendary Green Ray's elevating effects on the mind and soul, Helena Campbell vows to experience it for herself, postponing the wedding being forced upon her against her will. Together with her uncles, Sam and Sib Melville, she sets off on what becomes a near-epic quest. Joining them in the search for the Green Ray are two would-be suitors for Helena, one an artist, the other an amateur scientist. Together, this little band will voyage to a distant shore--and beyond--braving hurricanes, testing their patience and resolve, and ultimately finding their own true selves. A Wildside Fiction Classic, long unavailable in any form.

|First pitch definitely the most difficult. Don't be suckered into the left-most ledge, go a little further over, and there's a pretty obvious rotten chimney to head into. You'll find that it curves to the right, and puts you into a good standing platform with a tiny notched roof. I'd say this is the crux bit right here [especially if you're short like me], a single vertical 5.5ish move to get up and over, and travel up and to the left, until you curve around to a slung horn. Definitely bring a ton of extendable draws to reduce rope drag. After first pitch, pretty straight forward 4th class on rotten rock with tons of exposure.

Review: 'Terminator Genisys' Proves Schwarzenegger's Still Got It
The chemistry between Emilia Clarke and Arnold Schwarzenegger helps the ambitious "Terminator" reboot rise above the plot holes and the bland performance of Jai Courtney.
The chemistry between Emilia Clarke and Arnold Schwarzenegger helps the ambitious "Terminator" reboot rise above the plot holes and the bland performance of Jai Courtney.
B-roll from the franchise reboot offers a look at some of the action sequences, as well as the cast and crew between takes.
Emilia Clarke, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jai Courtney star in an action-packed new clip from the upcoming fifth installment of the "Terminator" franchise.
The latest Japanese trailer reveals Jason Clarke's script-flipping John Connor, who's "not man, not machine."
The latest stills from the franchise reboot showcase stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Emilia Clarke and J.K. Simmons.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is back in the teaser trailer for the Terminator franchise reboot, which also stars Emilia Clarke, Jason Clarke, Jai Courtney and Matt Smith.
The creepy, smiling face of a Terminator arrives ahead of the first trailer for the franchise reboot.
The first still from Dito Montiel's post-apocalyptic Man Down features Shia LaBeouf and Jai Courtney using their Marine training to find Kate Mara.
A new look behind the scenes of the franchise reboot reveals the filmmakers want "a movie that feels familiar but also tweaks audience expectations."
The up-and-coming actor talks with SPINOFF about what drew him to the moody Australian crime drama, his love for the Terminator franchise, and meeting Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The Sarah Connor introduced in next year's Genisys will be a big departure for the sci-fi franchise.
Long rumored for the role of Kyle Reese, Jai Courtney has at last made it official.

Girl/girl fans will juice their drawers over slutty brunette Daniella's tongue-lashing of her equally stacked girlfriend, before host Randy West samples the cooze-ooze personally. A special treat is wondrous "Eskimo" strumpet Umma, who feverishly lets Mr. West explore her most intimate points of entry. Believe it: Umma rubs a helluva lot more than just noses! Another groin-tickling edition, Vol. 22 features blonde cheerleader/cutie-pie Aubrey boffing her husband and perking to an impromptu anal surprise. There's also some feisty girl/girl footage with two untarnished and sincere-chested lovelies who buzz each other with a mini-vibrator. Also on hand is rocket-ready starlet Sid Deuce, and even master of ceremonies West seems astounded by Sid's joyful assimilation of his overworked firehose.You know the name; you love the series; you should already be placing orders for both Up 'n Cummers 21 and 22.

I am beginning with Haskell. I have a situation where it is convenient to work the following type synonyms:
type Adult = Int
type Youth = Int
However I can not overload functions on
Adult and
Youth even if they had been synonyms for different types so have to have two seperate versions of functions eg.
doSomethingForAdult and
doSomethingForYouth , so next I tried
data Person = Adult Int | Youth Int
Then I can pattern match and use a single version of functions,
but then I loose the option of using the
Adult and
Youth as types in functions declarations which is convenient. Is there a middle way ? I looked at
Either, but from the description in tutorials it seems this would be misuse ? Something similar to a small type hierarchy with
Person at the root and
Youth and
Adult derived and still being synonyms for
Int would be perfect but I can not figure out how.
