The Heart K September fundraiser, Country Market Day, will offer an opportunity to win groceries.
The first phase, a successful beef drawing, culminated at the Solar Cook-Off with two lucky winners.
Phase Two begins with the sale of grocery drawing tickets for chances to win gift certificates to local markets.
Tickets donations are $5 each or five tickets for $20, and the drawing will be at the Saturday, Sept. 25, event. There will be seven winners.
Participating stores are Evergreen Market, a $300 gift certificate; $200 certificates from Safeway, Quincy Natural Foods and Sav-Mor Foods; and $100 certificates from Young's Market and Holiday; and $50 from the Peninsula Market.
Tickets are available by phone call to the Feather River Land Trust office at 283-5758 or online at frlt.org.
Event organizers also have tickets, including Vickie Robbennolt at 284-1973 or Trisha Aitken at 284-7480.
Tickets will also be available at the farmers market in Quincy Thursday nights through August.
Many local small business owners are lining up to have their products on display and for sale at the Heart K Country Market Day event.
Look for the following goodies at the market booths between 1 - 6 p.m. at the ranch in Genesee: Black Bottom Cupcakes, handmade soaps by Jan, Riley's Beef Jerky, jams, jellies and fudge, textile arts, jewelry, barbecue sauce by Drunkin Hog, pampering products from Emily's Garden, cakes and pies, treats from The Dog and Pony Treat Co., Sweet Surprises by Traci, toys for the kids and more.
Auctioneer Wes Neer will help sell a selection of items, including a lightweight kayak, an adult mountain bike, two child-size mountain bikes, a pair of lady's snowshoes with poles, handmade quilts, two Philip Hyde prints, a wooden fish carved by Mavis Somers, a wool blanket from Anna Harvey at the Wool Farm, a wine tasting tour for six, fishing and cabin at Lake Haven Resort on the East Shore of Lake Almanor, a wedding cake certificate by Traci's Sweet Surprises, a handmade wood rocking chair by Nancy Neer and other items.
The Genesee Artisans booth will be stocked with the creative original works of locals, and the prices will be reasonable, the objects irresistible.
There will also be plein air artists on the land, painting the scenic ranch and presenting their work for sale. These are some of the best artists and collecting their work these days is a smart idea, according to Aitken.
The folks from Evergreen Market will host a wine tasting booth, and provide delicious fresh chicken for the barbecue lunch.
The girls in the Heart K kitchen will smother that chicken with Drunkin Hog barbecue sauce, grill it all up and fill out the buffet tables with salads, baked beans and bread.
Participants are invited to grab a cold beer or a glass of wine and enjoy music by the Coyote Band.
Masseuse Lori Cannizzaro will have her massage tent set up for those who would enjoy the opportunity to relax after all the excitement.
Entry with lunch is $25, and children under 12 are free.
Tickets are available by phone call to the Feather River Land Trust office at 283-5758 or online at frlt.org.
The price will be the same at the door.

Before becoming a single, unattached man again, George Clooney was with his ex-wife Talia Balsam, French actress Celine Beltran, British model Lisa Snowdon, Las Vegas waitress Sarah Larson and, most recently, Italian actress Elisabetta Canalis.
Question is ...
Way to go george no big time divorce settlements your doing something right keep it up man.
Just by looking, you can tell he likes to switch it up. He's dated French, British, American and Italian. Who knows who he'll date next lol.
TMZ you conveniently forgot about Kimberly Russell whom he dated for three years after his divorce from Talia. And, Krista Allen which was all the media could talk about when they dated. Convenient how TMZ chose to avoid the two women who are not universally accepted the black girl and the girl who career began as a soft porn star of sorts or what I like to call a Skinamax star.
I am starting to wonder if maybe this guy is gay! Cause no one is that stupid for dumping these lovely ladies.
My dad always told me........"Look at the prettiest girl on the beach and just know that someone is already tired of sleeping with her"....... He must have been right
Why not have more "Who'd You Rather?" for us girls? I want to see more guys on Who'd You Rather.
George Clooney loves himself and only himself. I can't understand why any woman her right mind would even date him knowing he is a serial dater. Forget the money...he's a waste of time.
I am going to echo the others - I can not believe TMZ forgot Krista Allen.
With that said, Elisebetta has the best body.
But Celine Beltran has the best face.
Sarah Larson was on Fear Factor - I never thought she was cute..although she did clean up sort of nice... but who doesn't?
WOW, who cares about the girls... he has really not changed over the years. I usually think its bs when people say o they have lookeds the same for 20 years and usually they look old and nast but the only difference in him is his hair. Lookin good george
Never in a million years would I hook up with him. The person who does (if she cares for HERSELF) will only end up with heartbreak. I wouldn't put myself through this nonsense.

I am new to this forum & have searched the site so hope this is not a repeat question....
We intend to use our new iPad at shows where customers can interact with it by selecting slides shows of products to look at...manufacturing photos...etc...sorta like an electronic catalog.
We can protect the screen, get a great easel to set it up on, but how to we keep our new iPad from walking away? short of keeping our eyes or hands on it 24-7.
Is there a case made (yet?) that will lock the iPad into the case and then a tether cable can be attached to the case and it can be locked into our booth?
I don't think we're unique in this use of an iPad....how are others keeping it locked down and safe while giving the public access to it?

With hot putter, Yang shoots 67 at Doral
DORAL, Fla. – The two combatants who battled down the final 18 holes of the 2009 PGA Championship at Hazeltine National shot identical 5-under 67s on Friday in the second round of the WGC-Cadillac Championship. But with most of the ink dedicated to Tiger Woods, who tied his second best score of the young PGA Tour season, it seems only appropriate to salute the winner of that PGA, Y.E. Yang.
Since winning his only major, Yang has struggled to get into the winner's circle again. A runner-up finish at last year's Honda Classic was his only real chance for another victory.
Yang has struggled in 2012, with his best finish in a stroke-play event a tie for 30th at last week's Honda Classic. Even there, he failed to break par. In fact, Yang had broken par only two times in 13 rounds on the PGA Tour in 2012 before Friday's 5-under performance that included an eagle, five birdies and two bogeys.
"The putter surely saved my game today," Yang said. "I've been working on my putting."
Yang used his flatstick to perfection on the windy greens of the TPC Blue Monster. Needing only 25 putts – including 11 one-putt greens – the Korean made nine putts over 5 feet and three over 10 feet to record his best round of the year.
"My game has definitely been on the rise," Yang said. "Last week was insightful."
Playing with major champions Vijay Singh and Darren Clarke, Yang looked outmatched from tee to green for much of the round, but his short game was good enough to rank him on top in the putts made distance category for two rounds and third in the strokes gained putting category.
The question now: Can the putter, which has been the only saving grace in his game in 2012, continue to stay hot?
Yang is hoping so, with seven shots separating him from 36-hole leader Bubba Watson.
"If I can keep it up, I got two more days to play," Yang said. "So we will see how it goes."

Boston - A Hopkinton man was sentenced today for filing false tax returns which claimed large refunds to which he was not entitled.
William A. Reinertson, 52 , was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Denise J. Casper to 15 months in prison to be followed by one year of supervised release. Reinertson also was ordered to pay $101,588 in restitution to the Internal Revenue Service. In August 2012, Reinertson pleaded guilty to four counts of filing false tax returns for tax years 2005 through 2008.
Reinertson and his wife filed joint returns and submitted false W-2s claiming that the landscaping and construction businesses Reinertson operated withheld more than $200,000 in federal income taxes from wages paid to each of them and claimed they were entitled to tax refunds. In fact, no withholdings had been made or were paid over to the IRS.
United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz and William P. Offord, Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service's Criminal Investigation in Boston, made the announcement today. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sandra S. Bower of Ortiz's Economic Crimes Unit.

Interesting Article on Spending in Economy
28 posts
June 4, 2009 7:46 AM EDT
I read through about half the article and disagree somewhat with the author. In hard times we all start getting calls from companies we haven`t dealt with for years! They suddenly discover us on an obscure mailing list. Whether we cancel with them for poor service is regardless, because we were once a customer.
A had dinner with a cousin of mine Monday evening. She talked about the same kind of sales/marketing campaign for her company. Fell flat on its rear. Mucho effort, zero sales.
In my opinion, the money is more wisely spent in beefing up customer service, making customers believe you care about them and teaching your sales and support people to listen to the customer and fill their needs. If Home Depot has seen the light, others can also.

Just joined today, but have all ready read a lot. There`s a lot of really useful information and great ideas here. Here`s a small contribution, but there will be more to follow. It`s just an article on how to help your sales force. Kinda hit home for me since I am located in Florida just like the author. Enjoy:

I agree customer service is important and seems to have disappeared from this country. However, you could argue that customer service is a tool for your business and that the author (although suggested spending on your salesforce) indirectly implied investing in customer service because your sales reps are often the face of your company. I took it as a more general idea that investing in your business is a good way to spend money rather than on expensive ad campaigns.

Industry representatives estimated [CSM report] that 450,000 casino jobs would be lost nationwide, with a $1 billion loss in taxes. A poll published [RIA Novosti report] on Monday found 72 percent of Russian city-dwellers in favor of the measure. Gambling has become a central part of the Russian urban landscape, as Western-style capitalism replaced Soviet anti-gaming regulations. In 2006, then-president and current Prime Minister Vladimir Putin [official website] likened gambling addiction to alcoholism and said that tough measures were needed to curb Russians' appetite for gambling. The Duma [official website, in Russian], Russia's lower house of parliament, first considered [RFE report] the bill in later that year.
[JURIST] The lawyer for jailed Zimbabwe opposition cabinet member-designate Roy Bennett [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] said Wednesday that his trial on terrorism charges will begin on October 13. Trust Maanda [advocacy profile] said that prosecutors have also revised [Reuters report] the conditions of Bennett's bail [JURIST report], requiring him to report bi-monthly to police, rather than three times a week [AFP report]. Bennett, the treasurer general of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) [party website] party of Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai [BBC profile; JURIST news archive], faces charges under Zimbabwe's Public Order and Security Act [materials] for "attempting to commit terrorism, banditry and sabotage." Bennett, who was arrested in February shortly before he was scheduled to be sworn as deputy agriculture minister in the new power-sharing coalition government [BBC report] led by Tsvangirai, is accused [JURIST report] of funding the purchase of fire arms and explosives intended to be used as part of an insurgency. It is feared that Bennett's arrest could pose a threat to the power-sharing agreement [JURIST report] between the MDC and the African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) party of President Robert Mugabe [BBC profile; JURIST news archive]. Bennett was originally sought for questioning [JURIST report] in relation to the allegations in 2006, but he had been seeking asylum in South Africa until recently [IOL report]. Treason charges against him were dropped [Times report] in favor of the terrorism and other charges.
[JURIST] Fijian Prime Minister Commodore Josaia Voreqe "Frank" Bainimarama [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] on Wednesday announced [press release] plans to establish a new constitution by September 2013. Bainimarama said that the new constitution would be in place at least one year prior to the elections planned for September 2014 to allow the public to become familiar with the document prior to voting and that would it include, "provisions that will entrench common and equal citizenry, it must not have ethnic based voting ... and, it must have systems that hold Governments accountable with more checks and balances." The new constitution is meant to replace the 1988 Constitution [text], which was suspended [statement text] in April by President Ratu Josefa Iloilo [official profile]. Bainimarama said that the recommendations of the Peoples Charter for Peace, Change and Progress [official website], released in August 2008 by the National Council for Building a Better Fiji, would serve as the basis for the new constitution. He also invited [press release] "international partners and relevant development agencies" to assist in reforming the Fijian legal system.On April 10, Iloilo suspended the constitution and revoked the appointment of all judicial officers after a ruling [JURIST report] from the Fiji Court of Appeal declaring the appointment of the military government following a 2006 coup d'etat [JURIST report] unconstitutional. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights then urged Iloilo to reinstate the deposed judges [JURIST report]. Concerns about the constitutional suspension have also been expressed [statement text] by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and US State Department [official website] spokesperson Richard Aker, who said that it was a step backwards [press release] for the country, and called on Fiji to continue to recognize rights outlined in the suspended constitution.
[JURIST] The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) [official website] on Wednesday announced [press release] that nine prisoners were transferred Saturday to a detention facility in Benin to serve their sentences. A May 18 order by ICTR President Sir Dennis Byron [official profile] requested the transfer from the UN Detention Facility at Arusha, Tanzania to Beninese custody. The prisoners, including former Kigali-Rural governor Francios Karera, Catholic priest Athanase Seromba, and former lawmaker Aloys Simba [JURIST reports], were sentenced by the tribunal to terms ranging from 11 years to life in prison.The ICTR, set to expire in 2010, was established to try genocide suspects for crimes occurring during the 1994 Rwandan conflict [HRW backgrounder; JURIST news archive] between Hutus and Tutsis in which approximately 800,000 people, primarily Tutsis, died. In May, Byron submitted a plan [letter, PDF] for the ICTR, which extends trial stages through 2009 and reserves the final year of the court's mandate for appellate orders and responses. In March, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon [official website] pledged his ongoing support [JURIST report] for the ICTR and stressed that the international community must continue to combat genocide.
[JURIST] The lawyers for terrorism suspect Ahmed Ghailani [GlobalSecurity backgrounder; JURIST news archive] on Tuesday requested access to secret prisons [JURIST news archive] operated by the Central Intelligence Agency [official website] at which their client was held prior to his transfer to Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive]. The motion asks Judge Lewis Kaplan of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York [official website] to grant them access to "black sites" where they allege Ghailani was subjected to physical and psychological mistreatment. The lawyers said that evidence at the facilities must be preserved in light of the CIA's April decision to close secret prisons [JURIST report]. Ghailani, who faces charges for his alleged involvement in the 1998 bombings of US embassies [PBS backgrounder; JURIST news archive] in Tanzania and Kenya, is the first Guantanamo detainee to be brought to the US for prosecution. Having been held at the Guantanamo facility since 2006 following his 2004 arrest in Pakistan, Ghailani was transferred [JURIST report] to the US last month to face 286 separate counts including involvement in the bombings and conspiring with members of al Qaeda to kill Americans worldwide. He pleaded not guilty [JURIST report] at his initial appearance. In a rare move [JURIST op-ed] last month, Kaplan tentatively granted [JURIST report] Ghailani's request that his military lawyers be allowed to represent him in civilian court. The announcement [JURIST report] that Ghailani would be tried in federal court came last month following the ordered review of all Guantanamo detainees pursuant to plans to close the detention facility [JURIST news archive].
[JURIST] The White House on Monday accepted the resignation of impeached federal judge Samuel Kent [JURIST news archive] from his seat on the US District Court for the Southern District of Texas [official website]. In a resignation letter submitted [JURIST report] last week, Kent said he would step down by the end of June. Kent recieved a letter [AP report] from White House Counsel Greg Craig saying that US President Barack Obama [official profile] had accepted the resignation. Kent's termination comes amidst impeachment trial proceedings [JURIST report] against him in the US Senate [official website], which last week accepted articles of impeachment [text, PDF] approved [JURIST report] by the US House of Representatives [official website] earlier this month. Kent is the first federal judge to be impeached in 20 years, and only the thirteenth federal judge ever to be impeached.Last month, Kent submitted a letter of resignation [JURIST report] that would have been effective June 2010, allowing him to collect his $174,000 annual salary and full health benefits until then. In May, Kent pleaded guilty [JURIST report] to obstruction of justice [18 USC § 1512(c)(2) text] charges in connection with the alleged sexual harassment of his secretary and former case manager as part of a plea agreement [text, PDF] that prevented him from facing a criminal trial. Following his plea, he was sentenced [JURIST report] to 33 months in prison and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and $6,500 in restitution.
[JURIST] The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) [official website] on Tuesday upheld [press release] Spain's ban of Basque political groups Batasuna [BBC backgrounder; JURIST news archive] and Herri Batasuna for their alleged ties to Basque separatist group ETA [BBC backgrounder; JURIST news archive]. In Herri Batasuna and Batasuna v. Spain [judgment, DOC, in French], the ECHR considered the political groups' argument that Spain's organic laws (LOPP) [text, in Spanish], banning the Batasuna political groups in response to ETA terrorism, violated the their freedom to associate under Articles 10 and 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights [text]. The court found that since Batasuna and Herri Batasuna had ties to the ETA, the purposes of the groups were contrary to the overall goal of democracy, and refused to extend international condonation to the possible terroristic threats that would be associated with the their re-formation. With regard to the appeal of Spanish electoral groupings associated with Batasuna that were seeking relief from the ECHR on grounds that their freedom of political expression was denied, the court reasoned in Etxeberria and Others v. Spain [judgment, DOC, in French] that since the dissolution of the political parties Batasuna and Herri Batasuna was lawful, the consequences to the electoral groups were foreseeable, warranted, and justified. If the rights of the electoral groups associated with the political parties Batasuna and Herri Batasuna had not been limited, the overall purpose of the LOPP would have been rendered ineffective. The court reached the same result in the case of Herritarren Zerrenda v. Spain [judgment, DOC, in French]. Zerrenda's standing as a candidate for the European Parliament was barred by LOPP. In February, Spain's Supreme Court [official website, in Spanish] unanimously banned [JURIST report] the Basque separatist political groups Democracy 3 Million (D3M) and Askatasuna [orders, PDF, in Spanish] from participation in the coming March elections. In September, the Supreme Court banned the Basque Nationalist Action Party (ANV) [party website, in Basque] from taking part in any political activities in the country, because of its alleged ties to ETA. The Basque Region's prime minister was charged with illegally communicating with members of the Batasuna party in 2007, but that case was dismissed [JURIST reports] in January.

Iowa Getting Ready For Michigan State TiltBy Scott Dochterman and Scott Saville, Reporters
IOWA CITY, Iowa — Carlton Valentine tapped Anthony Clemmons with the nickname that defines the hard-nosed Iowa freshman point guard.
"When he was 8 years old — all the kids were 10 — I coached youth football, and he just kept busting through the line," Valentine recalled. "We had a scrimmage and he sacked the quarterback like four straight downs. I said, 'You're like Warren Sapp.' That nickname continued all the way through high school. "He's the toughest ever." Valentine, a former Michigan State basketball player, now coaches basketball at Lansing Sexton (Mich.) High School. His son, Denzel, and Clemmons — "Sapp" — combined with current Cleveland State guard Bryn Forbes to win two state titles in 2011 and 2012, the school's first since 1960. Denzel Valentine starts as a freshman combo guard at Michigan State, averaging 6.3 points a game. Clemmons, who posts almost a 3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio, could lock up with his former teammate multiple times Thursday, their first time as opponents since maybe sixth grade. There's depth to their relationship beyond basketball. It's a bond that a college basketball rivalry barely can approach, let alone change. "I'm pretty sure it will be (emotional)," Denzel Valentine said Tuesday. "But I'm trying to focus in on the game and worry about the emotional stuff maybe after." Clemmons frequently spent the night at Valentine's house as a youth. So much so that Carlton Valentine joked, "I have a story for you: tell him to get off my couch." They competed on the same AAU team for at least five years, and Kathy Valentine drove them in the family van to tournaments all over the country. Denzel Valentine was the star, both as a youth and later with Lansing Sexton. As a senior he averaged nearly a triple double and earned multiple player of the year honors. He signed with the hometown Spartans, a team with which both he and Clemmons cheered over the years. Sapp had his moments, too. As a sophomore, with his team trailing by a point with five seconds left, Clemmons approached the free-throw line while Coach Valentine hid his head. Clemmons knocked down a pair of free throws to lift Sexton to the state finals. But the scholarship offers didn't come for Clemmons. So he kept working, waking up at 5 a.m. to lift weights and work with trainers. That included game days, Carlton Valentine said, and some of those sessions were straight from his couch. Clemmons battled through an ankle injury and eventually started seeing some looks entering his final AAU season. Eventually Iowa noticed and offered him a scholarship. "He's one of the most mentally tough players I've ever seen," Carlton Valentine said. "He never pouted, he never complained. He just kept working. That's what I'm proud of him the most." The players and their families remain close. Clemmons still talks with them regularly, including with Denzel almost every day. He spoke with Kathy on Tuesday afternoon. Kathy will attend the game in person, while Carlton cannot. "She just said how proud she was of me and said it's real emotional seeing us play against each other, after playing together for so many years," Clemmons said. "She said she's proud of us and wished us the best of luck. "We've got a real tight bond. That's like family to me." Carlton Valentine feels the same way. "He's not just one of my former players; he's a part of my family," Carlton Valentine said. "I've known that kid since he was 7-8 years old. He has his own parents, he has a mother and a father that really love him and they really support him and have done a great job. They allowed me to help him grow and develop as a basketball player and as a person. "It was great having him around. He's a jokester." WHY NOT MICHIGAN STATE? Michigan State Coach Tom Izzo was asked this week about not recruiting Clemmons, who grew up a Michigan State fan. "You know, it wasn't what we needed at the time," Izzo said. "It had nothing to do with whether he's good enough to play or not. It had to do with what you need and what you're looking for. I'm happy for him." Clemmons said he wasn't surprised Michigan State didn't offer him a scholarship. "I knew at that time they had Keith Appling. I knew they had Travis Trice," Clemmons said. "They had a bunch of guys there. Even if they did offer me I would have took that into consideration as look at my playing time. How would have I be able to fit in there with those two guards? It's not really motivation. Tom Izzo is a good coach. I'm not surprised he didn't."

[ 10/10 ]
Very nice campground, gravel level lots.Cement pads a with picnic table. Nice fire circle, adult swings, play area and games in the center of the park. Nice walking paths to the creek. Friendly manager that stopped by to introduce himself as he wasn't here when we arrived. There is a pay station if the managers aren't around when you arrive. We plan on returning for a longer stay next fall.

Beautiful, well kept campground. The manager is very friendly and helpful. You get coupons for the casino for 2 dinners for the price of one. Great for Saturday night seafood buffet. Also $10 coupon for free play at the casino,which I might add was very generous to us.We stayed 6 days and toured the area. Would consider going back again.

Method goes to PCR
"Ideally, you want the original PET bottles not to have been commingled with any other plastic type. The best source from a material purity standpoint is PET carbonated soft drink bottles that have been collected from a deposit-based program. Second best are bottles that have been curbside collected," Rosati says. "Additionally, we needed to tap into a company that could provide the desired material quality on a consistent basis and who also has the technology to create pellets from the flake that results when these bottles are ground up."
On the processing side of things, multiple obstacles needed to be overcome. For example, PCR has a much lower intrinsic viscosity (IV) than virgin resin. Since the resulting PET molecular chains are shorter, Amcor had to relearn how to process the material. Additionally, the gray and blue scale color readings had to be at a certain level or the material would not be able to produce a clear bottle. (Five of the SKUs using 100% PCR are in clear PET bottles; colorants are used for the rest.)
"Method and Amcor engineers worked together to overcome each of the material, production, and performance challenges that presented themselves throughout the project," Crouch says.
The project started last June with trials taking place between August and November. Full scale production took place in December. Bottles are stretch blow molded at Amcor's Nicholasville, KY plant. Product starting making its way onto retail shelves in February.
"Not only has this been a learning experience for both Amcor and method, but resin suppliers have also benefited. The end result is a bottle that is having a positive impact on the environment," Crouch says.

Department of Theatre and Film
Introduction: Rethinking Discursive Practices
Cynthia Baron
Articles in this spring 2010 issue of The Projector are related to essays in the fall 2009 issue, for they echo the type of meta-discursive analysis of critical practices in film, media, and cultural studies found in those fall essays. While each article in the spring issue is a standalone piece, when the authors' arguments are considered together, they could or should draw attention to the fact that regardless of discipline, established positions in scholarship warrant particular scrutiny, if only because they so profoundly influence the questions that academics ask about aesthetic, cultural, and material practices.
The essays in this issue show that overlooked but fraught ideological positions lie at the base of seemingly objective or scholarly views about: the significance of individual performers; presumed breaks with traditional modes of visual representation; official divisions between art and artifact; and purportedly unambiguous divisions between cultural-aesthetic movements like modernism and postmodernism. The essays also call for scholarship that reckons seriously with "the nexus of culture and power" and is consciously oriented toward "developing intellectual and theoretical work as a political practice" that enables people to see that consuming material from what Chris Hedges calls the corporate state's "empire of illusion" affects not only our ideas, values, and beliefs but also "the social and political conditions under which we live our daily lives."
Kari-Anne Innes's essay, "Loie Fuller from 'la fée lumiére' to 'la fée électricité': Cybernetic Logic, Embodiment and the Electrical Woman," contributes to several lines of research. Her study of Fuller, an innovator in dance and staging practice often seen by film scholars as simply "the serpentine dancer" in silent cinema, offers new insights into the well recognized but still entrenched tendency for women in film to be presented and seen as "electric" and thus essentially non-sentient, disembodied objects. Innes's analysis establishes connections between early modern dance and feminist responses to turn-of-the-century modern technology. It shows that François Delsarte's work on expression gesture is relevant not only to the history of theatre but to accounts of modern dance and cinema as well.
Innes also identifies and reckons with the reality that despite modernists' much touted rejection of traditional aesthetic and social values, avant-garde cultural politics contributed to filmic images of women being deemed acceptable only insofar as they can be interpreted as "ideal" from the standpoint of patriarchal society. Drawing on Fuller's own writings about the spiritualist basis for her use of lighting design, costume construction, and principles of self-expressive modern dance, Innes calls into question standard views of Fuller's performances. Specifically, Innes denaturalizes the patriarchal bias of modernist critics who early on argued that Fuller's performances could be valued only if they were seen as offering glimpses of a disembodied, ethereal, pure, modern woman who dissolved into "rapid movement like the spirit of the age, with fluttering garments and streaming hair." Highlighting the role that dominant discursive practices continue to play in the way people think about aesthetic-cultural production, Innes locates that bias in the contemporary scholarship that still sees Fuller as significant only insofar as her performances represent a female body converted into "a pure aesthetic form."
In another look at the patriarchal underpinnings of avant-garde aesthetic and cultural values, in "A Woman's Perspective on the Female Nude as the Site of Modernity," Carolyn Jambard-Sweet briefly but effectively contrasts the female nudes in "traditional" modernist painting with those depicted by Suzanne Valadon, an artist and model for artists like Toulouse Lautrec. Jambard-Sweet explains that the female nude was a "significant aspect of modernists' response to the past and their surroundings" because producing images of unclothed women was thought to signify a male artist's "modernity," his rejection of and alienation from conventional norms. However, as Jambard-Sweet points out, in modernist paintings, typical representations of female nudes did not make a break with the conventions and practices of patriarchy because the images were designed so that male viewers could "engage in the act of 'seeing [women's bodies] without being seen.'" By comparison, Valadon's paintings do signify a rejection of conventional cultural norms; here, the images are not designed for viewers' erotic pleasure but instead are depictions of women's complex subjectivity and varying subjective experiences. Like Innes, Jambard-Sweet also notes that the patriarchal slant of avant-garde cultural and aesthetic values has an influence on scholarship even today; as she explains, accounts of modernism still tend to elide the fact that modernist painting includes "traditional" work informed by patriarchy and radical paintings that reject the conventions and assumptions of misogynistic representation.
Jambard-Sweet concludes with observation that Valadon's paintings are a reminder that "power relationships implicit in mainstream art" are exposed only when people who have been marginalized begin to represent themselves and when their labor, creativity, and subjectivity has been recognized by those in power. That idea can perhaps serve as a bridge to Cynthia Stroud's essay, "Function is in the Eye of the Beholder: Aesthetics, Ethics, and Consumer Intent in the International Tourist Art Market," for Stroud looks at the changing visions of art that have, for example, led fine art galleries to see "the artistic commodities of tourism as genuine works of art on the basis that they are creative expressions of a people and place." Noting that both artisans and consumers have a complex relationship with non-traditional art, Stroud explains that for artisans, tourist art has conflicting functions. It is a product that can be exchanged for money. It is an artifact that plays into structures of power by giving tangible expression to the boundary between dominant and conquered people. It is also a symbolic and thus primarily aesthetic object that allows disenfranchised artisans to "construct, distribute, and promote a group identity." On the consumer side, purchasing tourist art can reflect an interest in: obtaining something for practical use; giving "feel-good" economic support to impoverished people; and/or securing an object that will effectively remind the traveler of the exotic experience.
Framing her analysis of consumers' relationship to tourist art within larger debates about art v. craft, high art v. low art, official art v. folk art, Stroud argues that for tourists, "Whatever function the object(s) may serve later, the primary function in operation at the point of purchase is probably an aesthetic one." To sort out how a commodity like a souvenir could function as a "pure" aesthetic object, Stroud turns to the Prague School's insights that there are no inherent aesthetic properties and thus there is no "purely aesthetic distinction between art and non-art." Using those insights to propose that art or aesthetic function is in the eye of the individual and institutional beholder, Stroud notes that the North/First World has come to a "new awareness of the complexity of the cultural and aesthetic expression" in tourist art because practical artifacts (like pottery) have in fact become prized art objects, just as sanctioned art can have non-aesthetic value (as when paintings by modernist artists are studied to discern cultural norms and values).
Stroud's essay echoes the articles by Innes and Jambard-Sweet by reminding us that the "exclusion perpetuated by the artistic establishment throughout much of its history: the exclusion of women, minorities, non-Western artists" has been framed as reflecting an objective assessment of artistic merit when in fact the exclusion rests on unfounded ideological positions that issue from and shore up existing structures of power. Stroud's discussion of the complex interplay between the unstable binaries underlying definitions of art and artifact also anticipates Darin Kerr's analysis in "Old Is the New New: Paradox and Duality in the Modernist Project." Making a point that parallels the ideas that aesthetic function is in the eye of the individual or institutional beholder and that there are thus no fixed divisions between art and artifact, Kerr proposes that even though "the modern purports to value the new in a seemingly unmediated way, while the postmodern repurposes or reconfigures the old to achieve the appearance or 'prestige' of the new," there is good reason to see that scholarship needs to be grounded in "a thorough reckoning with [modernism's and postmodernism's] uneasy continuities" to get beyond a "facile recognition" of the apparent rupture between modernism and postmodernism.
To flesh out that insight, Kerr notes that even the difference between traditional art and modern art is best understood, not as a clear-cut division between temporal periods, but instead as a conceptual paradox that echoes modernism's own binaries (functional v. decorative, natural v. artificial, East v. West) and its fundamental need for the existence of "tradition" to create its version of "the new." Kerr notes that the temporal emphasis of aesthetic avant-gardism has led distinctions among traditional, modern, and postmodern art to be seen in relation to a linear timeline. He proposes, however, that by focusing on the French conceptions of modernity that were shaped by Baudelaire and Nietzsche, modernism (especially as the term between tradition and postmodernism) can be seen as a movement that shares with traditional and postmodern art not only a "distrust of history and progress" but also "symptomatic shadow[s]" that confound efforts to describe any one of the movements in a monolithic way.
While shifting the terms of analysis, Justin Philpot's essay, "The Intent of Methodology: Cultural Studies, Film Studies and Challenging the Corporate Demands of the Academy," also emphasizes the need to re-examine longstanding positions in scholarship. What emerges from Philpot's discussion is that a division that warrants closer scrutiny is the supposed contrast between the apolitical, purely aesthetic approach entailed in appreciation of elite cultural products and the purportedly political-democratic celebrations of popular cultural products. In other words, discursive practices need rethinking because the purely aesthetic approach once confined to writing about elite culture has become ingrained in American popular culture studies. Looking at that situation from another angle, what also warrants more attention is the actual distinction between the apolitical formalism of American popular culture studies and British cultural studies' concern with ideology and political economy. As Philpot explains, "While British theorists [are] concerned with the ways in which hegemonic power [is] expressed through systems of media, American popular culture scholars [are] teasing out the functions and meanings of certain motifs in genre fiction." For Philpot, an embrace of "the type of analysis now familiar to cultural studies and film studies scholars" is both crucial and timely because that comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach represents a means for opposing the increasingly "corporate management ethos" of American higher education.
Framing that line of discussion in somewhat different terms, the final, editorial essay by Rosalind Sibielski entitled "Media Studies as 'Work That Matters': Intersections between Media Studies and Cultural Studies in the Analysis of Popular Culture," examines the contrast between "American" and "British" approaches and proposes that with "the study of popular media . . . at something of a crossroads," we should recognize the value and distinguishing features of "media analysis undertaken from [a British] cultural studies perspective." As Sibielski explains, rather than focus "on the pleasures of consuming" a text or on finding ways to appreciate the aesthetic value of popular culture and low art forms, critically distanced scholarship will depend on "the British cultural studies perspective" because it prompts us to ask not just "which media texts are popular, but rather why it matters that they are." Rather than insist on "the social relevance of popular texts or practices," British cultural studies-influenced work can lead to comprehensive analyses because it is concerned with "examining, questioning, or critiquing [the] social impact" of popular media texts and practices. As Sibielski explains, studies grounded in "British" critical approaches give "ideological critique . . . a prominent place" precisely because they are designed to serve as an "intervention in a world in which [cultural studies work will] make a difference."
The case that Sibielski makes for studies that "move beyond celebrating the pleasures of consuming media texts" and are media analyses that function as "political practice" in opposition to the corporate state is consistent with the central ideas in last fall's editorial essay, "Subversive Fictions: A Patina of Radicalism in Corporate Media Culture," for in both cases the call is for academics to "stop 'reading' corporate messages in the hope of finding hope." Both essays argue that corporate media is unlikely to provide material for studies of "authentic" popular culture or subversive expression. Critical analysis of corporate media thus remains a vital area of activity, with alternative media becoming a possible venue for the expression of popular culture and subversion of dominant norms. To facilitate studies of alternative media, this issue includes an appendix that has a brief list of links to alternative media sites. Of course, directing attention to websites encourages continued engagement with mediated forms rather than collective action in daily life. In addition, as it stands, the appendix is likely a misstep, but one that will perhaps lead to discussion, debate, and action.

Ever since the Texas BBQ "Extravaganza", Brandan has desperately wanted to make ribs for his turn in the kitchen. Can't say I blame him. Having the opportunity to play with fire and enjoy a tasty, carnivorous barbecued meal? Sounds like a great time to me!
However, when he made this decision, I forgot to ask him what he wanted to prepare to accompany the ribs. So this week, I called him on the phone to discuss it.
Me: Brandan, what would you like to serve with your ribs?
Brandan: Ummm…..shrimp! No, grilled catfish! Noo….shrimp.
Me: Sweetie, let's choose something that's not meat or fish. We need some sort of vegetable…
Brandan: Corn. Grilled corn.
Me: Okay, sounds good. What about something like potatoes, or rice, or potato salad, or beans…
Brandan: What about that egg dish? You know, the one with the creamy stuff and kinda sour. Like we had at the BBQ.
Me: Do you mean potato salad? Your Grandma Chambers made a potato salad with mayonnaise and mustard and lots of hard-boiled eggs…
Brandan: Yeah. Why can't we have shrimp too?
As you can see, the boy likes his protein. While we didn't have shrimp (trying to keep costs down), we did have quite an enjoyable meal. Trying to improve upon my pork ribs from the Texas BBQ, we opted to put a rub on them an hour before smoking, rather than the previous night, and wrapped them in foil for the final two hours of smoking. Both changes were in an attempt to make the ribs even more moist and tender. In fact, they were. My favorite aspect of their flavor, however, was the smokiness. A beautiful layer of pink penetrated the exterior of the rib meat, providing that smoky, succulent flavor I was after. Delicious.
We also prepared a version of my mother's potato salad. Creamy, with just enough mustardy tang, it's a delicious, comforting, simple accompaniment to any barbecue. (I had two helpings.) The corn was simple as well - we shucked the ears and broke each in half. Placed each ear onto a piece of aluminum foil, along with a pat of butter and a bit of salt and pepper. We then wrapped each half-ear in the foil and grilled for a few minutes.
The verdict? Over dinner, the kids were having a discussion, trying to rank each component of the meal, from most to least favorite. Since everyone had seconds, (and there were a few thirds!) I figure we can consider this a win for Brandan.
For the ribs:
5 lbs pork spare ribs
approximately 1/4 c barbecue rub
Aluminum foil
About an hour before smoking, sprinkle rub on ribs and press into meat. Set up smoker for indirect heat with water pan. Smoke ribs for 3 hours, keeping the temperature of the smoker at around 250 degrees. Pull ribs from smoker and cover with aluminum foil. Place ribs back in smoker, and smoke for another 2 hours. Remove from heat and tent with foil for 5 minutes. Cut ribs apart and serve with your favorite barbecue sauce, or ancho barbecue sauce. Serves 6-8, depending on the meatiness of your ribs.
For the potato salad:
5 medium red potatoes
5 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1 c mayonnaise
2 T yellow mustard
1/2 red onion, diced
2 T dill relish
salt and pepper to taste
pinch of paprika
Boil potatoes until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain water and allow potatoes to cool. Peel and cut potatoes into 1-inch dice. Add potatoes, eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, onion, and dill relish. Gently mix until incorporated. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika, and mix until incorporated. Serves 6.
