[BRIGHTCOVE "4671930315001"] Fifteen years ago this week, Miss Congeniality opened in theaters, on Dec. 22, 2000. It wasn't one of star Sandra Bullock's Oscar bait roles, nor was it one of her smooshy romantic comedies. No, it's pretty much an out-and-out comedy, with Bullock starring as frumpy, awkward FBI agent Gracie Hart, who goes undercover at a beauty pageant and finds her inner swan. And don't forget that female-led comedies were hard to come by back then and are still pretty rare all these years later.

Morgan Freeman Falls Asleep During On-Air Interview – Then Explains

Being God is exhausting ... or is it?
During an interview with FOX affiliate Q13 in Seattle, to promote his new movie Now You See Me, Morgan Freeman appeared to be napping on-camera. This left costar Michael Caine to field the questions from anchors Kaci Aitchison and Bill Wixey about the crime thriller, which concerns a group of magicians who use their skills to rob banks.
But after his video went viral Thursday, Freeman provided an explanation for his shut-eye. "I wasn't actually sleeping," he jokingly tells PEOPLE. "I'm a beta tester for Google Eyelids. I was merely updating my Facebook page."

The Dark Knight Rises Review: Engrossing Despite Plot Holes
Originally posted 07/19/2012 04:25PM
"You're not Batman anymore," Alfred (Michael Caine) tells his boss. By the looks of hobbled recluse Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) bent over his cane, it's a shock that he ever was.
These are the darkest days in Christopher Nolan's epic trilogy, a morality play that all but restages the French Revolution in its final chapter, as a new villain topples the city. It's an engrossing story with a real sense of peril – as long as you ignore the dangerously gaping plot holes and long running time.
So what makes Batman dig his cape out of mothballs after eight years?

"I'm so pleased," the Englishman, 76 – himself a double Oscar winner – tells PEOPLE of the posthumous Academy Award presented Ledger in February. "I thought that it was very important for his family as well. I was a big fan of his from the first time that I met him."

"I think Heath will surely get a posthumous nomination for an Academy Award," Michael Caine said Friday at Grauman's Chinese Theatre, where the legendary actor was honored in a hand and footprint ceremony.
"He was incredible [and] he was amazing," said Caine, 75. "And I think he will get it. It's an incredible performance, just wonderful."

Dear Dr. Gott: My husband, 80, has had two myocardial infarctions: in 1988 followed by an angioplasty, and the second in 1996 for which he required angioplasty and a stent. On testing, he learned that a significant portion of his left ventricle is dead.
His current problem is varying blood pressure. The reading can be as low as 78/49 and, within minutes, may jump to 130/95. He hurts all over, especially his right chest. He has a pacemaker and takes Pravachol, digoxin, Accupril and Coumadin.
Do you have any enlightenment for us?
Dear Reader: Possibly.
To review your husband's situation in plain English for readers who are not familiar with medical terms, your husband has suffered two major heart attacks that were treated with angioplasty, a technique of using a balloon to crack arteriosclerotic plaque in order to improve circulation to the cardiac muscle. He also required a stent, a mesh device that helps to keep an artery unblocked to improve blood flow.
I assume that your husband has been prescribed Pravachol to lower his cholesterol; digoxin to stabilize his heartbeats; Coumadin to slow blood-clotting; and Accupril for high blood pressure that, if untreated, may lead to significant heart strain.
Actually, given his age and the degree of coronary artery disease, I believe that he's doing rather well.
However, some "fine tuning" might be in order. First of all, his blood pressure is on the low side, judging from the numbers you provided. True, it may be too low at times, but if your husband has no symptoms (faintness and weakness), he is in no danger. Low blood pressure (without symptoms) is an appropriate goal because it reduces stress on the beating heart.
I cannot explain his right chest pain, except to say that angina (heart muscle cramps from lack of oxygen) can cause right-chest discomfort on occasion, although - as you know - angina ordinarily involves the left chest. Therefore, I believe that your husband would profit from being tested, by a cardiologist, to assess the degree of cardiac disease. In my view, your husband needs a cardiac ultrasound to measure various portions of the cardiac cycle, make certain that his valves arc functioning normally, and accurately define the strength of his ventricular contractions - in a phrase, the robustness of the blood-pumping ability of the major cardiac chamber.
In addition, depending on the cardiologist's findings, your husband may require a third cardiac catheterization, during which the coronary circulation is investigated using high-speed X-ray pictures taken while dye is injected into the coronary arteries.
If the cardiologist concludes that your spouse needs coronary artery bypass grafting, your family will have a tough decision to make because this is major surgery that carries appreciable risk.
On the other hand, if the testing I mentioned shows no unexpected results, you, your husband and the doctor should choose to sit tight, treat problems with medicine and be grateful for each day that passes without a problem.
Thus, in summary, you and your husband need answers concerning prognosis. Once armed with this information, you'll be in a better position to examine appropriate options.
Write to Dr. Gott, c/o NEA-United Media, 200 Madison Ave., Fourth Floor, New York, NY 10016.

If you've found your way to my site, chances are that you love to read, specifically Erotic Romance. And if you're anything like me, you probably won't know of a better way to spend a day than with a good book and hopefully a hot cup of tea / coffee.
Hi! I'm Hedonist Six and I hope that my writing will provide you at least with one of the two.
Uncensored Romance
Realistic characters, pure emotions, true passion. Everything I write is about the characters: how they interact, what's going on in their heads, how the passionate relationship develops and affects them. I don't believe in keeping things hidden, or dressing them up just for show. Some of my characters are potty-mouths, most of them are less than perfect (yes, even physically). I aim to write a happy ending for all of them, without keeping anything behind closed doors.
I enjoy character-driven stories, sometimes short, sometimes longer but released in multiple volumes. Expect to find flawed individuals experience love / lust at first sight and associated awkwardness. If you would like to be kept informed about my latest releases and promotions, I also have a Newsletter.

Despite early rating struggles, UFC boss says 'TUF: Live' positioned well on FX
While "The Ultimate Fighter: Live" is drawing mostly positive reviews from MMA fans, the show hasn't yet proved a ratings monster in its first season on FX.
That said, UFC president Dana White isn't ready to push the panic button just yet.
"Far from it," White told MMAjunkie.com (
). "Spirits are high around here. Everything is good."
Featuring UFC bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz and former WEC titleholder Urijah Faber in coaching roles, "The Ultimate Fighter: Live" is the 15th edition of the long-running reality-competition series and the first edition not to air on Spike TV. As part of the UFC's mega-deal with FOX, the series moved to FX this year and also is the first to feature live fights.
The move to a live format (as well as "jive-live" content recapping the previous week's activities each Friday night) has been a welcome change for MMA fans, many of whom felt "The Ultimate Fighter" concept was growing old.
However, the debut episode scored just 1.3 million viewers, down from the 1.5 million viewers who watched the first episode of the previous season.
And where the 14th edition of the series actually saw a slight increase in viewers for episode No. 2, this season's second episode actually saw the viewership fall to 1.1 million viewers (figures for the third episode should be available later today).
Despite the trends, White said both he and FX executives are comfortable with the early results.
"There's so many things that are involved in those numbers," White said. "I didn't expect to jump on FX and do 3.5 million viewers right out of the gate. But here's the thing: The format is awesome. It's perfect. We've got a great season, and we're going to build this thing.
"Believe me, the way that FX deals with their programming and how they handle it, they're so analytical. These guys are like [expletive] rocket scientists how they break this stuff down and look at it. Trust me, everything is positive over there."
After a debut episode that ran two-and-a-half hours and featured 16 one-round fights, fans have since been treated to two entertaining bouts between official cast members. With live fights, there's no longer a need to avoid spoilers, and there's been a sharp increase in social-media buzz as fighters' friends, families and teammates all watch alongside MMA fans, uncertain of what will happen in each episode.
White said he enjoys the new feel, and prior to Friday's opening-round bout between Justin Lawrence and Cristiano Marcello, the UFC boss said he found another benefit to the format.
"What's cool and that I just found out, sports books take action on the fights," White said. "You can bet on these fights, too. I was watching online, on Twitter, everyone talking about who to bet and everything else. Some dude said he bet $2,000 on Marcello. He's bumming right now."
So while "The Ultimate Fighter: Live" isn't yet performing up to the level of previous editions, White said there is no cause for concern. "March Madness" will wrap soon, casual viewers will eventually figure out the show is now on FX, and hardcore fans may very well become again interested in the show thanks to the new format.
"I couldn't be happier with this format," White said. "I love this format. You go the from the last five days of reality to a live fight. It's awesome. It's perfect."

The Jeffersons
Last week, the journal Nature published a DNA report showing definitively that ole Tommy Jefferson did in fact father at least one child with Sally Hemings, one of his slaves. Whom do you date?
Janelle Benjamin
Age: 19
Resides: Financial District
Occupation: Student
Do you date outside your race? Yeah. Twice. My last boyfriend was white and my current boyfriend is Colombian. Before I dated the white guy, I was kind of concerned because he was white, but I really liked him and I went ahead and dated him. It was great.
Do you think biracial kids have problems? I don't think so. Every kid has problems.
Will racism disappear? Before the earth disintegrates, maybe. And not too long before that.
| Stuart Margolis
Age: 29
Resides: Washington Heights
Occupation: Restaurant manager
Do you date outside your race? I'm married. But before that I'm Jewish I dated non-Jewish women, but no women of color. And my wife isn't Jewish.
Do you think biracial kids have problems? It depends on what races the parents are. For instance, if you have one black parent, that might present more of a problem for the child, because society might have more of a problem with that.
Will racism disappear? I don't think so.
Leo the Lion
Age: 45
Resides: Greenpoint, Brooklyn
Occupation: Musician
Do you date outside your race? I married outside my race. It's definitely a jungle-fever type of vibe. I'm divorced now. That hurts too.
Do you think biracial kids have problems? I have kids. It's an issue for them because the world makes it an issue. But I just tell them, just like Martin Luther King said, you should be judged by the content of your character.
Will racism disappear? Yes. And without the assimilation of all races into one homogeneous race.
| Emma Highland
Age: 26
Resides: Upper East Side
Occupation: Marketing
Do you date outside your race? Yes. Three times. The first two, it was a problem on their side. But my parents were fine with it. And the third one is the one right now and we're fine, so far.
Do you think biracial kids have problems? I think it could definitely be more challenging, if they don't have a strong sense of self.
Will racism disappear? I would love to see it. I have more faith in the generations coming.
Gina Yoo
Age: 26
Resides: Downtown
Occupation: Student
Do you date outside your race? Yes. The person I'm seeing right now is the first Asian person I've dated.
Do you think biracial kids have problems? Not necessarily. In general, identity is already a hard thing.
Will racism disappear? You'd have to have a more global-like mind.
| David London
Age: 36
Resides: Crown Heights
Occupation: Studies the Torah
Do you date outside your race? No. It's against my religion. I don't date anyway, it's against the laws of my religion. You marry. And she has to be Jewish.
Do you think biracial kids have problems? It can be.
Will racism disappear? The Torah says that when Israel becomes a nation, this will bring a unity to all the peoples of Israel and this unity will bring redemption and peace to all nations on earth.
Younes Nika
Age: 22
Resides: Bayside, Queens
Occupation: Cook
Do you date outside your race? I always date outside my race. The women from my country are crazy. I'm from Iran. They're so crazy about the religion, Islam, whatever bullshit.
Do you think biracial kids have problems? It all depends on the parents and how they treat them.
Will racism disappear? No. You can never change people's mentality.
| Mark Law
Age: 36
Resides: Brooklyn
Occupation: Traveler
Do you date outside your race? I've dated a black chick and now I'm dating a Jewish woman. Is Jewish outside of race?
Do you think biracial kids have problems? In some ways it might. But I don't see that as a problem here. Maybe like in Florida, or something.
Will racism disappear? Someone will always be bigoted about something.

As a practical matter, such power is measured by the alleged monopolist's share of the relevant market. Absolute monopoly in the economic sense -- 100 percent of the market -- is a rare phenomenon, raising the question of how large a share a firm must possess to come within the statutory concept. Although there is no hard and fast rule, any market share of 50 percent or higher is sufficient to be of concern

Lawsuit: Erie prison assault damaged vet's brain
A homeless U.S. Army veteran is suing an Erie County Prison corrections officer, claiming the guard assaulted him in prison and left him brain-damaged.
Jerome McCallion, represented by Erie lawyer John Mizner, filed the civil rights complaint in U.S. District Court under the 8th Amendment, which bars cruel and unusual punishment.
The lawsuit accuses the officer of excessive force and battery.
"The assault on Mr. McCallion caused him to suffer very serious injuries, including a life-threatening traumatic brain injury that required doctors to seek permission from the court to perform emergency surgery to save Mr. McCallion's life and, later, a second brain injury developed that required a second brain surgery," Mizner said.
"Sadly, Mr. McCallion has continued to suffer seizures, difficulty speaking, and other neurological difficulties as a result of the assault," he said.
Gerry Mifsud, Erie County government's director of administration, said the county has not yet received the complaint. He said lawyer Patrick Carey will be handling the lawsuit.
"We will respond once we see it," he said.
McCallion, 63, is a homeless resident of Erie and honorably discharged U.S. Army veteran who served in Vietnam, according to the complaint.
It claims the assault occurred in May 12, 2011, while McCallion was housed in the restrictive housing unit of the Erie County Prison, 1618 Ash St. Erie County Court records indicate McCallion was serving a sentence for a 2010 harassment conviction and 2010 probation revocation on a charge of reckless endangerment.
McCallion claims Brian Ames, a corrections officer, came to McCallion's cell to take him to the shower.
McCallion said he mistakenly believed he was going to the yard, so he turned in the wrong direction and started down a set of stairs when he exited his cell.
Another guard stopped McCallion and told him he was supposed to go to the shower instead, McCallion said.
McCallion claims he turned around and started back up the steps.
As he did, he claims, Ames became agitated and yelled "something to the effect of 'I'm not going to put up with this anymore.'"
McCallion claims when he reached the top of the stairs, Ames grabbed his handcuffed wrists with one hand and placed his other hand on the back of McCallion's head and slammed it into a wall.
McCallion said he blacked out and woke up inside his cell, where, he said, Ames took him to the floor and another officer restrained his legs.
McCallion said he told the officers he was "done."
As they were uncuffing him, he said, he knocked the key from an officer's hand.
Other than that, McCallion claims, he did not defy or struggle with the officers.
A prison nurse gave him ice and ibuprofen, McCallion said.
However, on May 16, 2011, McCallion said, he was taken to Millcreek Community Hospital and then transferred to UPMC Hamot after he reported he was suffering from headaches.
Medical staff discovered McCallion had suffered a traumatic brain injury, namely bleeding between two layers of membrane surrounding the brain.
The psychiatrist on staff at the prison on May 17, 2011, obtained a court order directing that McCallion undergo emergency surgery.
Following the operation, McCallion said he suffered additional brain bleeding and underwent a second operation on May 23, 2011.
After he was discharged from the hospital on May 25, 2011, McCallion developed speech problems and seizures related to the head trauma he suffered in the prison, the lawsuit states.
He was admitted to the hospital again on July 1, 2011. At the time, he could say only one word over and over, "do," according to the complaint.
The lawsuit says McCallion was treated with anti-seizure medicines, which mostly restored his speech, but that he continues to suffer speech and neurological problems, including seizures and visual defects.
McCallion was paroled on Sept. 1, 2011, and remains homeless, according to the complaint.

The largest settlement to date in the Bernard Madoff multi-billion dollar Ponzi scandal has been approved by a U.S. judge today, the Los Angeles Times reports.
A U.S. judge approved a $7.2 billion settlement on Thursday to pay former customers of the Madoff firm, the largest yet in the worldwide search for money lost in Bernard Madoff's multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme.
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Burton Lifland in New York made the ruling over the objections of some investors, who contested the deal between the estate of Jeffry Picower, a Madoff friend and investor, and a trustee liquidating the Madoff firm.

Two memorable photos
We took a lot of photos on our trip this summer. That's the curse of digital photography: you can just keeping snapping away, deleting the duds later. Much later…
I won't be posting many pictures of our trip, but there are bound to be a few, marking the high points of our thirty memorable days in Greece-Turkey-Czech Republic.
Here I am, touching the stones of Homeric-era Troy. Can't put into words how powerful it felt visiting a place I'd read about since childhood. Glorious!
I also got the opportunity to make a pilgrimage, of sorts, to the grave of one of my literary heroes, Franz Kafka. Sherron snapped this one, then discreetly wandered off, letting me have a few private words with my old Master. No touristas about, no unwelcome intrusions. Special, special moment…
2015: A Banner Year
2015 marks my 30th anniversary as a professional author and 25th as an independent publisher.
That kind of longevity, in any vocation, is pretty rare, but when it comes to the arts? Writing? Are you kidding? It either shows tremendous faith, an overweening ego…or the simple acknowledgement that there's nothing else I'm any good at. Or all of the above.
Over the past three decades, I've witnessed a lot of changes in terms of technology, trends, the way the publishing business is run. Hell, I'm so old, I can recall a time when it wasn't embarrassing to call yourself a horror writer and John Updike and Ray Carver represented the high bar in terms of American literature. Jesus, where's my cane and adult diapers?
In that interval, I've seen 'em come and I've seen 'em go. One-hit wonders, lighting up the sky like a rogue comet and then exploding, leaving not the slightest trace of their passing. The darlings of the critics and cultural poobahs, earnest scribblers telling their very personal stories of suffering and courage and redemption, seeking applause and acclamation the way a junkie probes for a fresh vein. Their offerings winning all the literary prizes, earning highly coveted media attention, getting their names in lights. Hooray!
Except…where are they now?
I won't name names (that would be cruel) but how many highly touted scribblers have popped up during my 30-year tenure, sucked up some attention (and sometimes a considerable amount of money) and then faded away? Check out the prize lists since 1985—Pulitzers and Bookers and GGs and Gillers, right down to the regional level: how many of those names are still prominent today, still producing quality work?
Exactly. I'd have to use a quantum calculator to determine the number of "bold new talents" and "exciting voices" that have come down the pike in my professional lifetime. It's an annual rite, like checking to see if Wiarton Willy can spot his shadow. Never mind that the vast majority of the "stories" these bright, young things are telling are very much their own: fictionalized accounts of their journals and diaries, their pathetic lives laid bare. A love affair gone bad, tender hearts cruelly broken; often one detects a faint whiff of revenge. The only problem is, when you write solely about yourself, sooner or later the material grows stale…or runs out all together.
Which is why the latest "next Margaret Atwood" or "next ______" (your favorite literary icon here) invariably lasts one or two books and is never heard from again.
I'm reminded of the old song that goes: It don't mean a thing/'til you prove it all night.
True, I think, for any worthwhile endeavor.
The creative life demands a special kind of courage and commitment—it requires a soul-defining leap of faith because there's no guarantee you'll be successful, very little chance of your work achieving posterity. Many superb artists have died broke and unknown.
But those who are truly chosen don't give a whit for fame and fortune, they create for the sheer pleasure of knowing that they are working without restrictions or outside expectations, designing and shaping their efforts to their own specifications and aesthetic purposes. They're not trying to emulate someone else or jump on a popular bandwagon. Their visions may be personal, unprecedented, bizarre (by popular standards), but there's a shining brilliance to them, helping them achieve a universality that makes them accessible to people of vastly different geographies, even epochs.
Think Homer. Sophocles. Poe. Baudelaire. Kafka. Picabia.
Authors who defy convention, risk penury, disapprobation, despair.
Vasili Grossman and Friedrich Reck, writing in the face of discovery, imprisonment, death.
And yet they persevered.
So you've written a clever poem, a halfway decent short story, posted it on your blog. Six people have "Liked" it. Good for you.
What next?
Are you prepared to sit down tomorrow and the next day and the day after that…until your allotment of days run out? Writing and re-writing, driving yourself to distraction trying to achieve quality, well-crafted prose. The search for improvement, perfection never ceases. I'll testify to that.
I've been in this biz a long time, much longer than most, and it's still hard, still a challenge every day to summon the courage to walk into my office, plunk myself down and commence work on my latest writing project. As I've gotten older, my standards have risen and so the act of composition has become even more challenging and immersive than it was when I first started out. In other words, it doesn't get easier, kids, it gets harder.
Dreaming about writing doesn't get you there, promising yourself that you'll start something serious in November, when National Novel Writing Month rolls around, won't cut it either. If you're a writer, a real writer, you can't wait. As much as the chore of writing depresses and intimidates you, you can't resist reaching for a pen and putting something down on paper. Anything to fill that blank page, defeating the white silence. Only then is there a sense of fulfillment, completion, our purpose for existing realized.
How does that gibe with your experience?
Are you a dabbler? A hobbyist? A wannabe?
Or do you have the courage to take a great leap…without the slightest notion or concern for what awaits you far below?
Two short pieces from STROMATA
Kafka Fuck
Once back at my place she plays it coy scuttling under the couch until I menace her with a can of Raid using it to steer her toward the bedroom antennae twitching in excitement crawling up the edge of my bedspread chittering as I run my fingers along her polished carapace stroking her thorax her withered ornamental wings fluttering mandibles dug into my pillow in insectile ecstasy while I prepare to mount her probing for anything resembling a vagina wondering if she uses protection and if not if the pupa will look anything like me.

Greenhouse Effect
I'm not going back to you. I'm gone. I'm outta here. You won't find me. It'll be like we never met. Just another face in the crowd. On a forgotten street. In a strange country. One of the disappeared. Yeah. Lost in time and space. I wasn't born in the first place. Back to the womb. Stillborn. No. Aborted. A puddle of pink flesh. Gristle and blood. Dumped in an incinerator. Reduced to ash. Floating in the troposphere. Burned by the sun. Ultraviolet radiation. A cancer on your body.

His Masters' Voices
Initially, I read to escape.
Found my way to the neverlands and never-will-bes as part of a protracted and determined effort to seek refuge from a real world in which I was vulnerable, helpless.
Books also helped assuage the loneliness, the sense of otherness that frequently assailed me. I've always had an earnestly held desire to isolate myself from an indifferent, possibly hostile universe lurking just outside my front door. It's a type of agoraphobia, I suppose, a reluctance to leave an environment where I wield power and control and venture out into the Chaosium.
Ray Bradbury was an early companion, The Golden Apples of the Sun an important reading experience when I was ten or eleven. So was Arthur C. Clarke's tale "A Walk in the Dark". I went through many anthologies and short story collections (I have a love of short fiction that persists to this day). Candidly, I was an indiscriminate reader. Popular fiction, history and, when I was particularly desperate, books plucked from my grandmother's shelves: Daphne DuMaurier, Harlequin Romances, just about every offering in the Companion Library Series (I was bored by Hans Brinker but loved Baum's Wizard of Oz and also, surprisingly, The Five Little Peppers).
Science fiction dominated my young adulthood: Lucifer's Hammer (Niven & Pournelle), Childhood's End (Clarke), Voyage of the Space Beagle (van Vogt) and every story by Robert Sheckley I could lay my hands on. Sheckley was a fortuitous discovery—I can reread his fiction today and still enjoy it. There's something about the combination of SF and satire that definitely appeals to me. Some of Sheckley's best stuff is in Citizen in Space, a volume that shouldn't be too hard to find. Check it out.
By my mid-teens I was writing a fair bit (mainly bad poetry) and seeking out literary role models, authors whose sensibilities came closest to my own. I found I liked tales with a Twilight Zone-ish aspect to them, something not quite right with the world, fate lying in wait for our hapless hero just around the next bend. Enter Richard Matheson and Charles Beaumont; Philip K. Dick, Harlan Ellison and Jerome Bixby. They became big influences–I think it could be fairly said that their grim(m) worldviews and melancholy ambience still inform the work I produce today, twenty-five years later. That's how strong an impact their books and tales had on me.
By the time I was eighteen, I'd given up on poetry and was turning my hand to short stories. Slowly, incrementally, I got better and that's entirely due to the excellent tutelage of my literary heroes. I've never taken a writing class or workshop; my "education" is entirely the product of a lifelong addiction to the printed word. I've evolved into a better, more critical reader by seeking out authors and books that challenge me intellectually and aesthetically. In the process, I've also become a better writer, more demanding when it comes to evaluating and critiquing my own work.
My literary tastes are constantly progressing, expanding. For a time I was enamored with the surrealists and then Samuel Beckett, J.G. Ballard and William Burroughs, authors and movements bent on distorting or eliminating traditional narrative. I was also drawn to the intricate, cerebral mazes constructed by Jorge Luis Borges.
Over the past decade or so, other writers have instructed me, helped propel my work in interesting new directions: Paul Auster and Jonathan Carroll (his first novel, Land of Laughs is a magnificent effort). Don Delillo and Cormac McCarthy. James Crumley. Robert Stone. Jack O'Connell. Irvine Welsh.
Each passed along important lessons—I luxuriate in prose by good authors, immerse myself in it, dissect and analyze it to discover how a certain effect was achieved. My hyper-critical mind has little time for those who resort to "hackdom", it recoils from the discordant, tuneless prose produced by such derivative or porous imaginations.
Lately, my reading has ranged all over the place—one day, Robert Fagles' translation of The Iliad, the next something lean and mean by Charles Willeford. Nonfiction in the morning to get my brain moving, fiction to wind me down at night. I may go two weeks without reading a book, then binge on them, blasting through six in the next six days. For the longest time I didn't read science fiction; now, thanks to authors like Tony Daniel, John Barnes, Charles Stross, Peter Watts, Vernor Vinge, James Morrow, Iain M. Banks, Paul Di Filippo, Dennis Danvers and others, I'm back in the fold.
Can't say the same for horror, unfortunately. The field is in a dreadful state. Do most of the guys and gals scribbling zombie stories these days even know who Matheson and Beaumont are? Do they understand that a well-told tale is a beautiful and enduring thing? Doubtful. They're too busy ministering to their printers. All that blood and viscera keeps clogging up the works. Such "writers" have nothing to teach me.
Right now I'm really attracted to condensed narratives, brief and fierce and tight. Many books these days are afflicted by clutter and bloat…so I seek out authors who have pared down their prose to the bare minimum. Providing descriptions and back stories with a few well-chosen words. Those fat tomes by Proust, Tolstoy and Durrell will have to wait for another time.
I think it's important for an indie writer these days to be aware of the DIYers and mavericks who preceded them. Independent spirits like Arthur Rimbaud, Alfred Jarry, Poe, Lovecraft, Kafka, Celine, Artaud, Dick and Ellison. Non-conformists and originals, determined to protect the integrity of their work, willing to risk rancor, exile, public indifference or disapprobation. While our themes and objectives may differ, the examples they set as individuals of great fortitude and perseverance have served to inspire me when I've questioned my talent, the direction my life and/or career is going in.
Each of the authors I just cited suffered mightily for their art, endured great privation and ignominy…but their books and stories are still read today. Their travails have been vindicated by slow posterity, their creations consigned to the ages. Art that ennobles the human experience, that faithfully reproduces the pleasures and pains of existence and depicts without flinching the true state of the soul will prevail over yesterday's bestseller, today's flavour-of-the-moment. Count on it.
We will always have cause to empathize with Lear's rage and despair and have it within us to hate with the virulent malice of the Count of Monte Cristo. A thousand years from now the persecution of Jean Valjean will still move us to tears (virtual or otherwise). As a species, we've been imbued with the capacity to love and the capability to do enormous harm. Great art does not allow us to shrink from such notions nor concede responsibility to outside agencies. It is a mirror, the ultimate reflecting surface; it does not lie and when we balk, commands us not to look away.

The Madison Avenue Bridge is a four lane swing bridge that crosses the Harlem Riverin New York City, connecting Madison Avenue in Manhattan with East 138th Street in the Bronx. It was designed by Alfred P. Boller and built in 1910 to replace and double the capacity of another earlier swing bridge dating from 1884. The bridge is operated and maintained by the New York City Department of Transportation.
For 2011, the NYCDOT reported an average daily traffic volume in both directions of 41,423; having reached a peak of 49,487 in 2002.[3]
The bridge is part of the course for the annual New York City Marathon. The runners, after crossing over from Manhattan to The Bronx via the Willis Avenue Bridge, follow a short course through the borough and then return to Manhattan for the race's final leg via the Madison Avenue Bridge.[4]
Public transportation[edit]
The Madison Avenue Bridge carries the Bx33 local bus route operated by MTA New York City Transit, the BxM3 and BxM4 express bus routes operated by the MTA Bus Company, and the BxM4C express bus route operated by Westchester County's Bee Line Bus System. The average weekday ridership of the Bx33 bus route is 3,216.[5] The average weekday ridership on the BxM3 bus route is 718.[6] The average weekday ridership on the BxM4 bus route is 414.[6] Prior to June 27, 2010, the BxM4 was known as the BxM4A and BxM4B.

ESTATE OF DORIS RUBIN, Deceased
- Surrogate's Court, New York County
- 3168/2007
- Dec 26 2012 (Date Decided)
- Surrogate Glen
ESTATE OF DORIS RUBIN, Deceased (3168/2007) — At the call of the calendar, and for reasons more fully stated on the record, the court denied, in part, the motion of Polly Rubin to redact certain information submitted four years ago incident to the now-discontinued proceeding to declare certain artwork to be an asset of the estate. The proposed redactions included, in broad categories, personal financial information, inventories of artwork, insurance documents, and descriptions of jewelry, furniture and other personal property. Movant alleged that, if accessible as part of the public record, such information might attract "burglars, art counterfeiters, con men, and identity thieves."
The right of public access to court records is a presumption of constitutional dimension established by New York common and statutory law (Mosallem v. Berenson, 76 AD3d 346 [1st Dept 2010]; Gryphon Dom VI LLC v. APP Intl Fin Co, 28 AD3d 322 [1st Dept 2006]). This policy is clearly reflected in Judiciary Law §255-b, which requires that as a rule court records be available to the public. Furthermore, section 216.1 (a) of the Uniform Rules of Trial Courts (22 NYCRR) provides:
"Except where otherwise provided by statute or rule, a court shall not enter an order in any action or proceeding sealing the court records, whether in whole or in part, except upon a written finding of good cause, which shall specify the grounds thereof. In determining whether good cause has been shown, the court shall consider the interests of the public as well as of the parties. Where it appears necessary or desirable, the court may prescribe appropriate notice and an opportunity to be heard."
The movant bears the burden of showing good cause (28 NY Jur §181) for the proposed redactions. Good cause for sealing records has been requires a "sound basis or legitimate need to take judicial action" (Gryphon at 325) and a particularized finding of a risk of harm (Matter of Hofmann, 284 AD2d 92 [1st Dept 2001]).
Disputes involving estates and trusts are a staple of the Surrogate's Court docket and the court records are therefore often replete with personal and financial information. But, as this court recently ruled in Matter of Thompson (NYLJ, June 19, 2012, at 22, col 3 [Sur Ct, New York County]), that in and of itself is not sufficient to establish good cause for sealing a file.
In terms of financial information, courts have recognized two exceptions to the general rule that court files should be open and the information contained therein accessible to the public. The first exception relates to copies of personal income tax returns to the extent contained in the parties' submissions. Although the courts have recognized a heightened level of confidentiality conferred on personal income tax returns (Latture v. Smith, 304 AD2d 534 [2d Dept 2003]), this rule does not extend to estate tax returns. In fact, section 207.20(b) of the Uniform Rules of Surrogate's Court contemplates the filing of an estate tax return as an alternative to filing an inventory of assets. The second exception to the strong presumption against sealing of court records relates to litigants' social security numbers (Bibeau v. Cantiague Figure Skating Club, Inc., 294 AD2d 525 [2d Dept 2002]) to the extent that they appear in court pleadings or exhibits.
Here, movant has waited over four years to assert the confidentiality of the pleadings in question. Moreover, she has not shown any particularized risk of harm in this case; certainly her generalized fear that the accessibility of information might make her vulnerable to malefactors at large falls far short of the mark. Therefore, the motion to redact movant's personal information is granted only to the extent of those portions of the record at which can be found movant's Social Security Number, and that of her daughter, Katherine Jarvis.
This decision, along with the transcript of the August 8, 2012 proceedings, constitutes the order of the court.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (AP) - Greg Norman took his place among golf's greatest players Sunday night, paying tribute to Jack Nicklaus for his example that learning to lose gracefully was as important as winning.
Norman and the late Payne Stewart were among six new members inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame during a 90-minute ceremony at the World Golf Village that showcased style and success by players, administrators and equipment pioneers.
The others were two-time U.S. Women's Open champion Donna Caponi, Ping Golf founder Karsten Solheim, former U.S. Golf Association president Judy Bell and Allan Robertson of Scotland, believed to be the first golf professional.

MINNEAPOLIS — All year, the Gophers men's basketball team has talked about the importance of protecting its home court. Sunday, Minnesota needed a last-second 3-pointer by Austin Hollins to defend Williams Arena from the visiting Iowa Hawkeyes. Hollins hit the biggest shot of the game with 11.6 seconds to play and the Gophers held on for what proved to be an ugly 62-59 win. But after recently snapping its four-game losing streak, Minnesota is glad to now have a two-game winning streak, regardless of how ugly it might have been...

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common female endocrine disorders affecting approximately 5%-10% of women of reproductive age (12-45 years old) and is thought to be one of the leading causes of female subfertility.
The principal features are obesity, anovualtion (resulting in irregular menstruation) or amenorrhoea, acne, and excessive amounts or effects of androgenic (masculinizing) hormones. The symptoms and severity of the syndrome vary greatly among women. While the causes are unknown, diabetes and obesity are all strongly correlated with PCOS.
Medical treatment of PCOS is tailored to the patient's goals. Broadly, these may be considered under four categories:
- Lowering of insulin levels
- Restoration of fertility
- Treatment of hirsutism or acne
- Restoration of regular menstruation, and prevention of endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer
The diagnosis of PCOS is usually made following a pelvic ultrasound to assess the structure of the ovaries and blood test to assess whether there are higher than normal levels of 'male' hormones in the blood stream.
Where PCOS is associated with overweight or obesity, successful weight loss is the most effective method of restoring normal ovulation/menstruation, but many women find it very difficult to achieve and sustain significant weight loss. Reducing insulin resistance by improving insulin sensitivity through medications such as metformin.
Occasionally a laparoscopy is required in order to drill small holes in the ovary.

Anwar Ibrahim is a Malaysian politician. He is the de facto Leader of Opposition of Malaysia (Pakatan Rakyat), economic advisor to the state government of Selangor[2] and leader of PKR (KeADILan). He served as the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia from 1993 to 1998 and Finance Minister from 1991 to 1998. He cam to prominence as a student leader and was detained for 20 months under Malaysia's Internal Security Act. Later he joined the United Malay National Organisation (UMNO), the dominant party of the coalition which has governed Malaysia since independence in 1957. He rose rapidly through the ranks, becoming Education Minister, then Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister. He subsequently fell out with the Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad, over issues of corruption, cronyism and the Malaysian response to the Asian financial crisis of 1997. He was subsequently arrested and charged with corruption and sodomy ("Sodomy 1" trial), charges widely regarded as politically motivated. He was jailed for 9 years, thus removing him from the political scene. After international protests he was released in 2004, but remained banned from politics for another 4 years under Malaysian law.
His supporters had formed a new movement aimed at political reform. This became PKR (People's Justice Party), which joined the Democratic Action Party (DAP) and the Islamic party (PAS) to form a joint opposition to the ruling coalition. He eventually returned to parliamentary politics in August 2008, but was again arrested after accusations of sodomy. The trial ("Sodomy 2") lasted for several years and he was eventually acquitted in 2012: however, the government appealed against the acquittal which was overturned on 7th March 2014 (coincidentally a few hours before the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 bound for Beijing).
Anwar has held a number of positions with international organisations
- opponent/rival/enemy relationship with Mohamad, Mahathir (born 10 July 1925). Notes: Mahathir appointed, then fired Anwar as Deputy Prime Minister

Comfortable like a balm, its innovative texture takes care of the skin, preserving its natural beauty day after day. Non greasy, the texture is composed of an exclusive selection of volatile elements that guarantee absolute lightness and long-lasting hold.
The result is picture-perfect nude skin, unparalleled lightness and a healthy glow.

Here is the simple truth about tonight's NBA draft at New York's Madison Square Garden: It's unpredictable.
After forward Blake Griffin goes to the Los Angeles Clippers as the top pick, nothing is certain. Some guys - like UCLA point guard Jrue Holiday - have been slotted anywhere from fourth to 20th.
Sure, 76ers general manager Ed Stefanski has said the team will likely select a guard with its 17th pick, but Stefanski has also kept open the door for other scenarios such as taking Ohio State big man B.J. Mullens if he falls, trading up if the demands drop, trading down if something promising is offered in return.

Town filled with Super Heroes
This week the Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the annual Harvest Festival with the theme of "Super Heroes." After the experiences my mother, Mary Dee Peyton, and family have had over the last two months I think this is a great theme for this community.
It started with those heroes who volunteered their time and energy to come to our house when I needed them for Mom. The guys on the Rescue Squad were professional, friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Next it was Dr. Carol and all the nurses, technicians, therapists and staff at Gothenburg Memorial Hospital. Wow! You guys were outstanding. The care Mom received was second to none. The food was great, the place was exceptionally clean. I can't say enough good things about all of you.
Mom's next stay was with the Super Heroes at Hilltop Estates. Once again we were constantly impressed with how friendly, happy and enthusiastic everyone there was. Mom's stay there was nothing like I had envisioned a care facility to be. The help from the staff was great, not only in Mom's care, but in guiding us through the maze of rules, regulations, and all the other stuff that frankly we hadn't thought of in regard to Mom's future care.
Another hero is Angie Barkmeier and the Senior Center who provided us with so many useful items we needed for Mom. We were not aware of all the services the Senior Center offers. Again, we feel very lucky to live here in Gothenburg.
Mom is now at Stone Hearth Estates and, while she hasn't been there long enough for us to get to know all the folks there, we have already been impressed with the friendliness and willingness to help from everyone with whom we've dealt.
We are looking forward to Mom's continued improvement and her climb to better health that we know is going to happen at Stone Hearth.
Yep, Gothenburg truly is a community of hometown super heroes. The theme for this year's festival was a great call.

On one hand, this weekend's WikiLeaks dump of hundreds of thousands of secret U.S. diplomatic cables was a letdown after all the media hype. There were lots of interesting bits and pieces, few bombshells.
A nervous Israel, it seems, will come away from the information avalanche without much diplomatic damage – not like Saudi Arabia, perhaps, which was revealed to be pushing for a U.S. attack to stop Iran's nuclear weapons program.
According to today's Ha'aretz, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said "The documents show many sources backing Israel's assessments, particularly of Iran." Claims by Iran hawks in this country that other Middle Eastern powers fear Iran and want the United States to solve the problem seem confirmed by the released data.
The leaks didn't quite live up to the advance publicity, but they are fascinating because of what they reveal about how diplomacy really works - a process built on trust and beneath-the-radar communications as much as on public statements and official positions.
Over the decades the opaque nature of diplomacy and Washington's ever-growing obsession with secrecy have sometimes gotten us into trouble, allowing leaders to say one thing in public while doing exactly the opposite in their private dealings with foreign counterparts, deceiving voters along the way.
Think "Vietnam" here.
But it's also hard to see how our efforts to deal with different kinds of governments in different cultures with often radically different interests can function in an environment of complete openness.
In an ideal world, maybe; in the chaotic, complex world as it is, no way.
Did the revelation that the Saudis want Iran's nukes taken out help or hurt the U.S. effort to build an international coalition to increase pressure on Tehran? I can see it playing out both ways. Will it make the secretive, autocratic Saudis warier about dealing in private with Washington? Undoubtedly.
This is interesting stuff if you're a foreign policy geek, but it doesn't look like it's going to fundamentally alter the Obama administration's diplomatic prospects. No doubt Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has a lot of diplomatic feathers to unruffle, but there are few real surprises here for seasoned diplomatic observers.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev is reportedly furious that Defense Secretary Robert Gates said " "Russian democracy has disappeared."
Well, duh.
Peter Beinart does a pretty good job taking apart the massive hype over the WikiLeaks dump in today's Daily Beast. Peter writes: "The latest WikiLeaks dump is to American foreign policy what the Starr Report was to presidential politics—fun, in a voyeuristic sort of way, revealing, but not about important things, and ultimately, more trouble than it is worth."
He added that the information provides "valuable insights—if you've been living under a rock all century."

How to Build a Toolbox
How to make the perfect portable workshop, with instructions for parents and kids
Age Range: 7 and up
If your little builders inherited the DIY gene, then they're more or less programmed to dive into Mom and Dad's tools. So maybe you should think about giving the handy helpers their own set—the better to get them involved while keeping your precious collection from getting trashed.
This toolbox is just the thing to hold smaller, basic items that fit a young do-it-yourselfer's hands, including a hammer, saws, pliers, and screwdrivers. Building it is easy: The tools required are probably already in your stash, and the materials are readily available at a home center and a sporting goods store. Set yourself up on a sturdy worktable—in the workshop, the garage, even the playroom. The fun is in having something for everyone to do and getting in good practice for future projects.

Campus Quality:
SCU is a beautiful campus with very modern buildings along side 19th century building from when the university was founded. My parents always say it feels like a resort and I have to agree with them. There are palm tees and large green spaces everywhere. All of the facilities are top notch except for the gym which is a bit small and outdated considering how much the students here use it, it is almost always packed.
Campus Quality:
There are a few things that still need to be updated in order for this school to be "the best", but for the most part, they're doing it pretty well. The campus is very well maintained (to the point where you avoid walking on the grass in order to keep it perfect) and seems technologically up to date.
Campus Quality:
Plenty of clubs, activities, resources of great quality.
Campus Quality:
Campus is beautiful, social scene is great, attractive people.
Campus Quality:
There are lots of green spaces on campus. The library is modern and has a sterile feel to it.

Santa Clara takes great pride in keeping its grounds and facilities well maintained, the expense of which seems to be reflected in the high tuition. Construction always seems to be going on around campus. In the past few years, Santa Clara has built a new business school, a library, and a student center, and renovated the pool, dining hall, and several dorms. But while most facilities are clean and feature state-of-the-art resources, some classrooms and dorms still don't even have air conditioning. The sluggish economy has stalled a few construction projects, but the school still maintains ambitious plans for the next few years.
Santa Clara's gorgeous campus makes it a comfortable and pleasant place to go to school—the beautiful Spanish-style architecture, manicured lawns, and palm trees contribute to a relaxed campus atmosphere that sometimes makes the school seem more like a resort than a university. Many students appreciate the up-to-date facilities and campus beauty, and cite these qualities as some of the nicest aspects of attending Santa Clara.

Few players have as much admiration for a rival franchise as Dwyane Wade has for the Chicago Bulls.
Even though he has done nothing but wreck Bulls' seasons since entering the league, he still associates himself with the team. That speaks to how much he loves playing in Miami, especially considering he turned down a chance to sign with Chicago as a free agent in 2010.

If you watch ESPN, or know anyone who does, it was hard to avoid hearing Scottie Pippen's comments about LeBron James and Michael Jordan on Friday. So, naturally, they got back to LeBron James. Pippen, on ESPN Radio, said that James was "maybe the best player to ever play the game," a notable assessment from someone who won six titles with Michael Jordan.
"Michael's an unbelievable player," James said, stammering a …

Scottie Pippen, a South Florida resident and Chicago Bulls ambassador, watched every game of the Eastern Conference Finals from a courtside seat.
It apparently helped him to come to a controversial conclusion.
On ESPN Radio on Friday morning, after the Heat eliminated the Bulls, Pippen compared his former teammate Michael Jordan – who won six titles – with Heat forward LeBron James, who is still seeking his first.
"Michael Jordan is probably the …
