View Aaron Taylor's original article here. Posted by LST on December 22, 2011.
There is [] a pervasive feeling that even though most schools have complied with reporting requirements, some have nonetheless failed to tell the whole story. Caveats were undisclosed. Explanations were unprovided. In short, law schools too often failed to adhere to the heightened standard of conduct they expect of students. …
So what can law schools do to regain the public's trust and provide prospective students with the most useful data?
The ABA mandates are a step in the right direction, but a framework that borrows components of the Education Department's "gainful employment" standards would be more useful in contextualizing the outcome data on which many people rely. … [T]he purpose of the framework would not be to set minimum benchmarks, but to provide better information—something law schools should embrace without compulsion.
A gainful employment framework in legal education would contextualize employment and salary data by measuring the extent to which graduates are able to actually pay what is likely their largest debt. The fundamental question the data would seek to answer is, "Are graduates not only working but also able to pay their student loans?" Using the benchmark prompts above, this question would be answered from both macro and micro perspectives. The first prompt would provide a big-picture view of the extent to which graduates are able to pay their loans. The latter two prompts would provide individual-level measures of loan indebtedness. The relative nature of the data would render it less sensitive to differences that may be misleading. For example, median salary differences may be rendered less significant if graduates from schools with lower medians have lower relative indebtedness or pay their student loans at higher rates. Schools could provide short-term and long-term views by aggregating data over different timeframes. …
The so-called crisis of confidence in legal education is not about law school fraud; it is about misinformed expectations. It is about students believing the law degree guarantees lucrative employment—and law schools doing little to temper those unduly optimistic assumptions. Law schools have a duty to ensure that their students know upfront both the potential rewards and possible risks of undertaking legal education. Principles of ethics and integrity require such forthrightness. Gainful employment data would help prospective students make more informed choices regarding legal education, and in the process help law schools regain the public trust.
LST's Take:
Two months ago, Aaron Taylor, a law professor at St. Louis University, published an irresponsible editorial in a prelaw magazine. In his article, Professor Taylor lamented the growing number of law school critics and flatly claimed that "Law school is still worth it." His justifications were all either demonstrably false or incredibly misleading, much like the information many schools publish when recruiting new students. The editorial demonstrated one professor's profound ability to bury his head in the sand. (In truth, there are signs that law school is not worth the price for many people.)
Professor Taylor said that "the facts belie the hype" when it comes to the national discussion over shady law school recruiting methods. His piece was designed to allay the fears of prospective law students. He actively encouraged them to attend law school, basing his argument on a handful of statistics, platitudes about the universal value of law degrees, and the privileged opportunity to debt-finance a chance at entering the legal profession. He wanted prospectives to know the time is right and the hype is wrong.
Part of Law School Transparency's mission is to increase the amount and quality of consumer information so that those looking to invest in law school can make an informed decision. We take issue with unqualified–in both senses of the word–assertions that law school is worth it. Simply put, there is not enough information available to make a strong claim that "law school is still worth it."
But it seems that Professor Taylor has finally begun to see things more clearly.
In his latest piece (excerpted above from The Lawyerist), he does an about-face and considers how we might devise a reporting standard that will indicate whether law school is worth it.
The suggestion is interesting and substantively getting somewhere. While the "gainful employment" term is strategically and politically problematic, the core of his basic proposal stems from prospective students' need to have some idea of whether their decisions will significantly impair or improve their social and economic mobility. While Professor Taylor's proposal is short on details, it is worth exploring further.

- TaxProf Blog: Taylor: Why Law Schools Should Report 'Gainful Employment' Data (December 23, 2011)
Professor Taylor has responded (to Professor Caron, TaxProf) that his two pieces are consistent:
The assertion that my "gainful employment" proposal is in conflict with my previous defense of legal education is erroneous. Legal education remains one of the best educational investments. A range of data supports that assertion. Does that mean it is the best investment for everyone? No. But better information and heightened due diligence by prospective students on the front end can minimize their chances of feeling duped as law students on the back end. Gainful employment data is one way law schools could provide better information regarding the best educational investment. There is no about-face. The two articles are complementary.

Black Comet is a stage in Shadow the Hedgehog and the home of the Black Arms and their leader Black Doom. It takes place near the center of the Black Comet.
Black Comet is one of five sixth stages and can be reached by completing the Normal mission of The ARK, the Normal mission of Air Fleet, or the Dark mission of Iron Jungle.
So far, the Black Arms have been winning the war against the humans and the Sonic heroes. However, G.U.N. has given Earth hope by launching a counterattack on the Black Comet and Black Doom is scrambling for reinforcements, so much so that he has called back Shadow and some of his army to fight off G.U.N. forces.
Exterminate the G.U.N. forces!
- Guide: Doom's Eye
- Objective: Defeat the 50 G.U.N. soldiers.
- Tips: At each checkpoint, the player should have these many G.U.N. soldiers defeated:
- Checkpoint 2: 06/50
- Checkpoint 3: 09/50
- Checkpoint 4: 10/50
- Checkpoint 5: 20/50
- Checkpoint 6: 34/50
- Checkpoint 7: 44/50
The player will need to kill some Black Assassin soldiers in some places in order to advance.
A | ≥ 28,000 points |
B | 24,000 points |
C | 18,000 points |
D | 8,000 points |
E | < 8,000 points |
Leads to: Sonic & Diablon
There is no Normal mission for Black Comet.
Find the center of the Black Comet!
- Guide: Knuckles
- Objective: Reach the Goal Ring.
- Tips: After the sixth checkpoint, grind down the red vine and jump down next to the second torch for a shortcut.
A | ≥ 18,000 points |
B | 14,000 points |
C | 10,000 points |
D | 5,000 points |
E | < 5,000 points |
Leads to: Egg Dealer
Behind the Secret Door
Behind the door lies a spring that takes the player to the upper level of the "block", where there is a turret and a Shadow crate. The turret is normally used to take out the Black Arms' UFO.
- The BGM for this stage is a remix of the BGM in the Prison Island stage.
- Many parts of this stage are identical to Final Haunt, only flooded with toxic liquid. For example, the first room in the stage is the same room where Shadow first finds the Egg Vacuum in Final Haunt.

More About Vincent Van Gogh
Vincent Willem van Gogh
was born in Holland in 1853. He became an assistant with an international firm of art-dealers and in 1881 he went to Brussels to study art. After an unsuccessful love affair with his cousin he returned to Holland and in 1885 he painted his first masterpiece,
The Potato Eaters
, a haunting scene of domestic poverty. A year later his brother Theo, an art dealer, enabled him to study in Paris, where he met Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec and Seurat, who became very important influences on his work. In 1888 he left Paris for the Provençal landscape at Arles, the subject of many of his best works, including
The Chair and the Pipe
. It was here Van Gogh cut off his ear, in remorse for threatening Gauguin with a razor during a quarrel, and he was placed in an asylum for a year. On July 7, 1890 Van Gogh shot himself at the scene of his last painting, the foreboding
Cornfields with Flight of Birds
, and he died two days later.

The Grimaldis combines a standard book musical with circus arts and cabaret for an amazing night of immersive entertainment.
The Story
For generations, the Grimaldi family has thrilled audiences the world over. From the opera houses of old Europe to America's silver screen, they were the quintessential showbiz family. Now the last surviving member of the Grimaldis is dead and the auction house of Sutter and Son is liquidating their estate.
As our show begins, we meet Walter Sutter, a friendly and somewhat awkward young man who is the block clerk for the auction house and the son in Sutter and Son. The auction business bores Walter and he dreams of a life in show business, a dream discouraged by his rather gruff and overly practical father Hirum Sutter.
When the ghosts of the Grimaldis start to haunt the auction house with their dazzling performances, Walter not only learns what it really means to be in show biz, but he also uncovers dark secrets about his own destiny.
The Grimaldis may be dead, but the show must go on.
The Show
The Grimaldis is a new story written by Dane Ballard and Ady Abbot and directed by Christian Utzman. The script celebrates the triumphs and tragedies of a life in show business from the eerie perspective of a family of performing ghosts.
Featuring original songs by John Woods, The Grimaldis is a mix of cabaret, circus, improv and musical theatre. The experience is immersive with the audience finding performances happening all around them. With the absence of the fourth wall, the characters interact directly with the guests, mingling with the audience throughout the show. Even the food and drink is presented as part of the story, a sort of "theatre amuse bouche" to pull the audience further into the experience.
The Goal
We need $19,600 to cover the cost of a TWO WEEK Off-Off-Broadway run of "The Grimaldis" (Oct 19, 2012 to Nov 3, 2012). This sum includes theater rental; rehearsal space; the services of our creative team of artistic and musical directors, fourteen actors, and a four-person live band; costumes; props; lighting; sound; and set design.
The show will be recorded and we will use it to show the viability of the concept. The DVD of the debut run of "The Grimaldis" will be used to prove the concept - just like a TV pilot - and to allow us to market the show to investors.
Project History
The Grimaldis is the brainchild of Dane Ballard, who has been workshopping this concept since 2008. Born into a performance family, Dane has been involved in show business his whole life. Inspired by the colorful personalities in his life both onstage and off, Dane wrote this original story to bring all his favorite types of performance into one place and to explore what it means to choose a life in "Show Biz".
Dane wanted original music for this period piece that was as funny as it was poignant, so he joined forces with longtime friend and songwriter John Woods to craft the show's unique narrative and variety of songs.
Over the years, the story continued to evolve. In 2011, Dane met writer/performer Ady Abbot. Together Dane and Ady have rewritten the script into its new, full-scale musical production.
The Creative Team
The Grimaldis has come to represent not just four years of development, but several lifetimes worth of experience in show business brought together into one amazing project.

Was replacing laptop's hard drive and discovered that my smallest Torx tip was huge for the 4 screws holding it; so off to Sears we went. Decided on this kit versus the individual T6 screwdriver due to it's value (singles run $3-4 ea.). Mini Torx drivers in set include T5 through T9 and are perfect when working with computer hardware and similar electronic equipment. Craftman quality and warranty can't be beat!

Additionally, the mixer may either be controlled onsite or remotely. The LevMixer 3 system is based on noncontact magnetic coupling, which creates an equilibrium position for the tank drive units. Each unit allows flexibility through the ability to use interchangeable tanks in conjunction with the drive system.

Every time a new indie bundle is released, anguished cries echo around the Great Hall of Comments that is carved in the dark obsidian which forms the foundations of Castle RPS. The reason? The inhabitants of that grand place are often the proud owners of every game included in the bundle due to their uncanny ability to be ahead of the curve. Therefore, it is with some trepidation that I bring the news that Cave Story is only now available on Steam, seven years after its original release, albeit in a 'plus' form. It's a lovely game, taking a Metroidvania template, then adding oddness and pretty pixels. I think it was probably partly responsible for that particular graphical trend in yon indies.
Who hasn't played it yet? Trailer with delightful music below.

Ranch Breakfast on Wyoming Public Radio
Saturday 11:00AM-2:00PM
with Tom Wilhelm
I started the Ranch Breakfast Show in 1984 as a half hour live segment at the end of his Saturday regular bluegrass/folk show Pickin' and Singin' AM. When the run of that live show ended in 1985, I decided to keep the name Ranch Breakfast for the 3 hour show that started at 8:00 and ran to 11:00. Over the years the time has been moved back to accommodate Car Talk and Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me. Bob Beck, our News Director, thinks I should call it Ranch Brunch, but I know that someday when Click and Clack retire and the satire of Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me has lost its appeal, Ranch Breakfast may be returned to its morning slot.

For the forty-fifth consecutive month, our economy has added private sector jobs, continuing our recovery and helping to put more Americans back to work. While I am encouraged that our unemployment rate has dropped to 7.0% and that 203,000 jobs – including 196,000 private sector jobs – were added in November, we are not adding jobs at a pace fast enough to provide economic security to every family.

The development of NO-BOMB has exposed a closely guarded supplement industry secret thats going to shake up our competition, leave them scrambling and wishing MHP had left well enough alone.
NO-BOMB is the biggest breakthrough ever in pump-maximizing NO Formula supplementation. MHP scientists have raised the bar with the development of NO-BOMB, the first-ever formula to use a full Sigma-tau certified clinical dose of the patented compound GlycoCarn (GPLC). At the clinically dosed 4.5 grams, GlycoCarn has been confirmed to be far superior to arginine and AAKG in boosting NO Formula levels to help trigger greater pumps and muscle growth. To maximize the incredible muscle tissue-expanding effects of GlycoCarn, NO-BOMB also contains exclusive advanced NO Formula Sustaining Agents (NOSA) such as specialized PDE-5 inhibitors to keep you pumped up for hours!
NO-BOMB goes even further to ramp up unprecedented muscle fiber-tearing pumps by introducing another major breakthrough in NO Formula with its KNO3 Nitrite-NO Technology. The revolutionary KNO3 Nitrite-NO Technology utilizes bioactive nitrates and nitrites to trigger a newly discovered NO Formula pathway to provide even greater vasodilation and fuller Physique Enhancements. These bioactives also have the unique ability to recycle back into nitric oxide, which sustains fiber-stretching Physique Enhancements far greater and longer than the arginine NOS pathway.
NO-BOMB is the ultimate performance-enhancing NO Formula supplement. NO-BOMB ignites numerous incredible and performance-boosting benefits, including buffering lactic acid for increased muscular endurance, powerful antioxidant properties for improved recovery and amplified fatty acid metabolism for increased energy and fat burning. Never before has one formula been able to deliver all of these clinically supported bodybuilding benefits. Take your pumps, muscular growth and workout performance to a whole new level with the most advanced clinically researched NO Formula formula ever created NO-BOMB!

The Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds
The Cultuurfonds was founded in London in 1940 by Prince Bernhard, late father of Queen Beatrix, the present queen, to buy war material for the British and Dutch Governments. It continued after the war as Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds aimed at rebuilding the war torn cultural life in The Netherlands. Headquartered on the Herengracht canal in Amsterdam, the foundation has 12 local branches, one in each of the Dutch provinces. There is also a separate Distribution Committee for projects in the Caribean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. MissionThe foundations mission is to support cultural and nature preservation projects in The Netherlands, The Netherlands Antilles (Curaςao, Bonaire, St. Maarten, St. Eustatius, Saba) and Aruba. The Cultuurfonds emphasizes artistic excellence and educational initiatives.FinanceThe foundation is privately funded.

The remainder of the annual expenditure is supported by contributions from individuals, family foundations and corporations via donations, legacies, and Designated Funds, in addition to revenue from the unique annual collection (called 'Anjeractie'). This grassroots effort engages tens of thousands of people each year, as they go out in the streets throughout The Netherlands on appointed days with collection boxes decorated with the distinctive orange carnation logo.

Fostering is about family and creating a special bond.
A World for Children, a foundation aimed at finding "forever families" for children referred through Child Protective Services, held an appreciation luncheon for its foster families Thursday at St. Mary's Episcopal Church.
"Without foster families we wouldn't be an agency," said Isaac Miramontes, foster home developer. "We truly appreciate what these families do for us."

Memorial services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday at Myers & Smith Chapel with Ken McMeans, pastor of College Baptist Church, officiating.
James Thomas Wilson, 29, of Big Spring died Wednesday, April 27, 2011, at Scenic Mountain Medical Center. The family will receive friends from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. Friday at Myers & Smith Funeral Home. Memorial services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Myers & Smith Chapel with the Rev.

Big Spring High School girls' track coach Nick Roberson believes a window of opportunity is opening for his team.
The Lady Steers will send 10 athletes to the Region I-3A track meet, which starts Monday in Lubbock, and Roberson believes that large number is but a harbinger of things to come for the program.
Seniors Desiree Anderson and Chanvel Cuviello, juniors April Turner, Cerbi Ritchey and Bridgette Tuitt, sophomores Bianca Ryle and Jaycee Williams and freshmen Morgan Seaton, Donisha McGree and Dyrshae Vandervilt will represent BSHS at the regional meet.
FORSAN ŌĆö Robert Hillger is hoping youth will be served at next week's Region I-2A track meet.
That's because Hillger, the girls' track coach at Forsan High School, will send a team dominated by freshmen ŌĆö five of the eight team members who qualified for regionals are freshmen.
But just because the team is younger doesn't mean it isn't ready to compete at a high level.
ŌĆ£The quality here is much deeper than I've ever had,ŌĆØ said Hillger, who is in his sixth year at the helm of the program. ŌĆ£We don't have a few athletes who contribute ŌĆö they're all pretty good.ŌĆØ
A fire in the 900 block of N. Gregg reported Wednesday afternoon caused approximately 200 homes on Big Spring's north side to lose electrical service, but no injuries or serious property damage was reported as a result.
According to Big Spring Fire Marshal Carl Condray, the fire was reported in an alley in the 900 block of N. Gregg Street at approximately 5:32 p.m.
The whole idea behind it is to touch someone's heart, which only makes the name more fitting: The Heart Gallery.
The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services began the Heart Gallery, a traveling photo collection of children waiting for adoption, in 2001.
"The idea is that someone will see these photos and want to adopt one of these children," said Rebecca Moughon, chairperson of the Howard County Child Welfare Board.

Carlsbad Area Earthquake
By KRWG News
Carlsbad – A relatively small earthquake struck about 19 miles northwest of Carlsbad in southern New Mexico on Saturday.
The U.S. Geological Survey reports the 4.3-magnitude earthquake occurred just after 6 p.m. in a "very remote location."
Dale Grant, a USGS geophysicist, says a number of people in the area reported feeling the quake for about five to six seconds.
There were no reports of injuries or damages.
Grant says 10 earthquakes of similar strength have hit the area in the last five years and that Saturday's quake was "not extraordinary by any stretch."

Nestled on the fifteenth floor of Memorial Sloan Kettering's Upper East Side hospital facility, the Patient Recreation Pavilion provides patients and their families with a calming and relaxing environment, free of the sights and sounds of their hospital room and doctor's office. Designed as a respite from cancer and its treatments, the sun-filled space hosts many group and individual activities, as well as special events and celebrations.
Its indoor and outside areas also offer a comforting escape for those who simply need quiet time to reflect.
"In the midst of the stress and overwhelming life changes a cancer diagnosis brings, many patients find it difficult to relax and enjoy things in life that once brought them peace," says Yolanda Toth, Director of Memorial Sloan Kettering's Patient Recreation Department. "They are so focused on their treatment. We help them to discover or rediscover the things that bring them enjoyment –whether it's a good mystery novel, an art project, or a game of cards."
During the day, patients and their guests can join recreation therapists leading art projects and other workshops such as copper jewelry enameling, stained glass painting, woodworking, and decoupage. Many patients find creative projects like these to be therapeutic during treatment and long hospital stays, and everyone is encouraged to explore the different offerings and work at their own pace.
On some days, the recreation staff welcomes special guests who bring their talent and interests to the hospital so that others may enjoy it. Popular activities include performances by students from The Juilliard School, music therapy, and celebrity visits.
The Abby Rockefeller Mauzé Patient Recreation Pavilion, named in honor of a former member of the board and long-time friend of Memorial Sloan Kettering, opened in 1976. Accessible from the 15th floor of the hospital, the 8,000-plus-square-foot space is connected to the main hospital by a gently sloping ramp that makes it easy for patients to reach even if they are not on foot.
The recreation pavilion also houses a pool table, a baby grand piano, a sitting area where patients can enjoy movies on a big screen, and a library with more than 12,000 general interest books, magazines, and music recordings. An outdoor terrace overlooking the city's East Side is also accessible from the floor, weather permitting.
Explore our weekly calendar of patient recreation events and other support programs for patients and caregivers.
As an oncology nurse, I can't tell you how much I love this. Kudos to the MSK staff for using their resources wisely to create the best healing environment for the patients.
As a psychiatrist at the Portuguese Institute of Oncology, in OPorto, Portugal, I find this project absolutely awesome! Congratulations! It's unique. And physically and emotionally healing! Thank you for sharing!
My husband was hospitalized many times at MSKCC and I cannot tell you how comforting it was to spend time in an invironment away from the hospital room.
We made many lovley things including mosaic trivet in various shapes which I still use. Also stuffed animals which my grandchildren loved.
It is run very professionallly. I recomend it highly.
God I remember going down the hall to this room!
During my 12 day stay- it kept me sane.
At times it kept my family sane to to be able to there!
My aunt still has the earrings I made her there. My son who's now 7 has the frog I stuffed & sewed him.... Thinking I would never make it back to him..., here we are 7 years later!! Thanks to Dr Paty!
My friend is thinking about donating his Wii and some games. Would the pediatric department be able to use them?
Courtney, thanks for reaching out. We will speak to someone about this and contact you at the email address you provided if the department needs this type of donation. Happy holidays!
Your patient, Shirley Fischler, just posted an article in the Daily Freeman; the "Big" paper here in the Hudson Valley, Kingston, NY. She is a regular, beloved columnist and is extremely loved and followed by countless numbers around the world. We are all following her health's progression and in todays article she extolled the virtues and extreme value of the Abby Rockefeller Pavilion. So many of us were unaware of this fantastic theraputic environment and Shirley has sent the message, loud and clear! As a Juilliard graduate and former Music Therapy student I related even more to Ms. Fischler's keen observations. I am also a neighbor of hers both in the Catskills and in NYC; she on 110th and I'm on 101st and B'way. I've been reading her faithfully for years and am always impatient for her Saturday/Sunday columns since she is, in so many ways, Mother Earth to us. I, we, love her and am praying for her return to the blessed good health she so deserves. All my Love, dear Shirley, from a devoted follower, always yours, Peter Simmons
We have collected over 150 brand new baseball type caps - some plain, some with sports logos, cities, cartoon characters. Might these be useful to any of your patients (children or adults)? I can deliver them! Please reply to email@example.com
Beth, thanks for reaching out. We will speak to someone about this and contact you at the email address you provided about your kind offer. Happy holidays!
That's great. I will look forward to hearing from you after the holidays. Happy New Year!

The Russian Revolution in Ukraine (March 1917-April 1918) and Under the Blows of the Counter-revolution (April-June 1918) by Nestor Makhno [Review] Nestor Makhno's memoirs reviewedThe Russian Revolution in Ukraine (March 1917-April 1918) and Under the Blows of the Counter-revolution (April-June 1918) by Nestor Makhno [Review] Nestor Makhno is the best known face of the Ukrainian peasant anarchist movement which fought for free soviets against both the Whites (aiming to restore the old regime) and the Bolsheviks new state. These two volumes of memoirs (theres a third one on the way) give Makhnos account of his life between being released from prison by the February revolution and his return to the Ukraine to fight the German/Austrian occupiers, and of the roots of the Makhnovist movement.
Unlike some primary sources, theyre not disappointingly familiar (from being quoted so often you know most of it already). Nor are they full of anecdotal descriptions. Makhno probably wasnt spending time writing a diary. While more descriptions of the places he went and the people he saw would be fascinating, thats not the aim of the book. Comments (1 of 1)

The one thing that always intrigued me about Alienware was their machines that were liquid cooled. Do other companies do this? Is this feature actually functional or was it just a gimmick?

To Build your own Desktop requires some knowledge and a decent time investment (if you do it the first time). The advantages are, you learn something about computer hardware, maybe have some fun with it. You will save some money and get exactly what you need. If something doesn't work, troubleshooting can be a pain, if you lack the experience and don't have spare parts.
If you decide to Build your own Rig, which is a nice thing to do if you're into it, don't try to save on the Power Supply or the Motherboard. Both have a wide range of choices available and it's tempting to try to save some cash on them. But a bad Power Supply or one that is to weak, can ruin the whole setup. A cheap motherboard can be unstable and be possibly performance limiting. A good case can make the assembly more convenient but will also cost a lot more.
As for Alienware they're not much more then a branded Dell, so if you can find a similar desktop from a reputable manufacturer for less, take it.
What was meant for me will be Mine once again... THE CHAMP OF CHAMPS IS BACK
You'd be surprised at how easy it is to build your own computer.
I built my rig from Newegg. Cost me about $800. Thats much cheaper than Alienware with the same, if not better performance.

In June Falk called on Israel to release two Palestinian detainees [JURIST report] who have been on hunger strike for 82 and 58 days to protest their administrative detention. Earlier in June Amnesty International (AI) [advocacy website] urged Israel to release all prisoners [JURIST report] of conscience and administrative detainees or immediately try them under international fair trial standards. In May UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on Israel to try or release more than 1,000 prisoners [JURIST report] who had been on hunger strike. Earlier that same month, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled against [JURIST report] two detainees who had been on hunger strike in their appeal seeking release from detention. During the same month, Falk expressed his concern [JURIST report] for the continued human rights violations in Israel's prisons. He called on the country to comply with the international standards of how to treat detainees.

Former Step Brothers to star in Devil's Night.
He'll play Ronan the Accuser.
John C. Reilly as you've sometimes seen him before ...
Starring the voice of John C. Reilly.
Tilda Swinton. John C. Reilly. Bad kitty. Best fake movie!
Just in time for the End Of Times, Tim and Eric were given money to make a big movie thing. So that's awesome.
The beloved character actor covers Ray Price's "I'll Be There If You Ever Want" (with Lavender Diamond's Becky Stark) and the Delmore Brothers' "Gonna Lay Down My Old Guitar" (with Tom Brosseau) on the respected label Third Man.
If you trace a line of co-stars between them, you hit nearly every single buddy comedy alum of the past 50 years.
John C. Reilly and Christoph Waltz also star in Roman Polanski's new film.
Behold Tilda Swinton, John C. Reilly, and some very creepy children.
Instead of a Jock, Princess, and Brain, defined and protected by their cliques, Terri, Chad, and Heather are each painfully and very believably alone: Fatso, Spaz, Slut.
Reilly's vice-principal gets aggro.
They love each other, see.
Not bad!
It's everything you'd expect.
Someone's getting horizontal.
So says the movie's director, Adam McKay.
And he's wearing the unattractive underwear to prove it.
Everything is spot-on, as far as we could tell.
Plus: Kid Sister puts it all in perspective.
MTV's Josh Horowitz and the 'Cyrus' star shared an intimate moment.
Plus, John C. Reilly recalls the time Jennifer Aniston introduced him to something called the chastity pillow, on our regular late-night roundup.
Not safe after the four-minute mark for people afraid of throw-up.
Plus: The 'South Park' guys hit the stage.

Quick History: Yurts
There are some substantial differences between Mongolian and Turkic yurts, but the fundamentals are the same: the walls are made from lattice sections (images 2 & 3) that can expand and contract like accordion hinges. The center of the roof is open to the sky to allow for smoke ventilation and air circulation, and is comprised of a wheel-type ring (which, btw, is much heavier and more elaborate in Mongolian yurts than in the Turkic variety, for those of you keeping score at home) (image 4). This roof ring is connected to the lattice walls via straight (Mongolian) or curved (Turkic) beams, and the whole skeleton is covered with felt traditionally made from fleece. Many Central Asian yurts (of the Turkic variety) have a woven reed covering, as well (eg. image 1). Doors are often highly decorative woven rug-curtains, and the interiors of authentic yurts are typically hung with textiles for decoration and insulation.
The oldest extant yurt was found in a grave in Northern Mongolia from the 12th century. The following century, Genghis Khan created the Mongol Empire across most of Eurasia. He and his soldiers traveled with yurts — some of which were collapsible and some transported intact on special carts — providing one explanation for how the form can be found all the way from modern Turkey to Eastern Mongolia. But other archaeological evidence suggests a much longer history.
The earliest evidence of the existence of yurts comes from a bronze bowl found in a tomb from the 6th century BCE in what is now Southern Iran. The bowl was decorated with engraved scenes, including one taking place in what is clearly a round, ribbed structure with a hole at the top, an early yurt (image 5). Other evidence corroborates the existence of yurts among nomadic people in the same region just a few centuries later. Drawings from Northern China from the 6th century CE show yurts covered with tiger skins instead of felt (fancy!).
So yurts were clearly around more than 1000 years before Genghis Khan and his Empire brought them to the attention of the West (thanks, Marco Polo). But why have they been so enduring?
Yurts were a natural choice for nomadic tribes living across the plains and steppes of Asia. Obviously there's the portability factor, which is paramount when you're a nomad. But the low, round shape of the yurt makes it aerodynamic — the fierce winds of Siberia flow over it with less resistance than if it had corners or peaks. Moreover, the yurt form with its ventilation hole at the top yields natural climate control. In winter, cold air comes in at the bottom, gets warmed by the fire and then rises out the top. In summer, the felt and/or reed coverings can be raised to allow for more airflow.
This 9th-century CE poem by Chinese poet Bai Juyi (772-846) extols the virtues of the yurt he erected on the grounds of his villa. You'll see he values his yurt for its superior comforts but also its exotic origins — made by nomadic people from the North, the yurt offered a comfortably rustic respite from Bai Juyi's modern urban life:
The finest felt from a flock of a thousand sheep, stretched over a frame shaped like the extended bows of a hundred soldiers. Ribs of the healthiest willow, its color dyed to saturation with the freshest indigo. Made in the north according to a Rong invention, it moved south following the migration of slaves. When the typhoon blows it does not shake, when a storm pours it gets even stronger. With a roof that is highest at the center, it is a four-sided circle without corners. With its side door open wide, the air inside remains warm. Though it comes from far beyond the passes, now it rests securely in the front courtyard. Though it casts a lonely shadow during nights brilliantly illuminated by the moon, its value doubles in years when the winter is bitterly cold. Softness and warmth envelop the felt hangings and rugs; the tinkling of jade enfolds the sounds of pipes and strings… When I have leisure time I lift open the curtain and enter the yurt, and when I am drunk I wrap myself up in a cover and sleep there… An orchid canopy will barely attract a hermit and a thatched hut is inferior for meditating. (But invited to my yurt) an impoverished monk responds with praise, and a threadbare scholar stays in place, unwilling to leave. Guests are greeted with it, descendants will hand it down to posterity. The Wang family boasts of their antiques, but they have nothing to equal this Sky-Blue Yurt.*
*This poem comes via my favorite online source for yurt history, archaeologist David Stronach's piece, "On the Antiquity of the Yurt: Evidence from Arjan and Elsewhere," from the Silkroad Foundation Newsletter.

I ♥ yurts.
Hey!!! That's my rug! The rug in the photo is identical to the one I inherited from my grandmother, who was a world traveler and furniture collector. Mine is a bit more banged-up than the photo, but that's the one. Does anyone know more about the origins?
Moxie the Maven, I used to live in Central Asia and the circular motif on that rug is very likely to be a symbol from a tribal group from that region. I can't see the rug well enough to tell you for certain which group it belongs to but I would not be surprised if it is the Tekke tribe, native to the region now known as Turkmenistan (and where I used to live). I was surprised at how often I see these rugs here in the US.
@Moxie the Maven - I only came to the comment section to say, I would kill for that rug. Almost literally. (So cultural of me, I know.)
There is a large, expensive yurt in a town nearby, in the garden of a bar/pub, used as a gig venue. It's beautifully decorated and traditionally constructed, but unfortunately maybe it's leaking and the wool lining is rotting or something, but the thing reeks, absolutely overpoweringly stinks, of diarrhea.
I am on assignment in Bishkek at present and have just come from lunch in a Kyrgyz yurt in the mountains above the capital. The mountain countryside is still a bit cold at this time of year but the felted warmth of the yurt's interior meant that we could dine without jackets or blankets.
Wow! Thanks for the awesome post.
Wonderful post!
awesome post. These yurts are SO COOL. The history was incredibly interesting. I saw the raised threshold across the bottom of the door and was reminded of a guy I know who is from the Tibetan Himalayas who swears up and down that those same types of thresholds, in his country, are there to keep out zombies, who cannot bend their legs to step over it and who "are really a big problem over there." (it's a local folklore version of zombies). ANYHOW, my first thought was that the thresholds are for keeping out rainwater. Anyone know how the rest of the yurt is protected from flooding and rain? Or is it just not a big problem in Mongolia?

I put this on my R3 and like the feel and grip that the tape gives me. It is holding up well and should be good for a few more seasons.
great tape
Member since
I've used this tape for years. I recently tried Fizik and hated it. 3T is much more thicker and has some cushion to it. It works well in the rain. I went a whole season and some riding about 200-300 miles a week on this tape. I put white on my wifes and because of the material it gets dirty real quick but the black is awesome.
love it!

Very light, grippy and not too thick. Few guys at the shop have purchased after seeing mine. It's flat/matte black and with 830 (dry) miles on it, still looks good. Can't attest to wet weather performance as I haven't been caught in the rain.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu has called for Tony Blair and George Bush to be taken to the International Criminal Court in The Hague for their role in the Iraq war.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner accused the former British and US leaders of lying about weapons of mass destruction and said the invasion left the world more destabilised and divided "than any other conflict in history".
He wrote in the Observer that the US and UK-led action to oust Saddam Hussein in 2003 created the backdrop for the civil war in Syria and a possible wider Middle East conflict involving Iran.
He said: "The then leaders of the United States and Great Britain fabricated the grounds to behave like playground bullies and drive us further apart. They have driven us to the edge of a precipice where we now stand - with the spectre of Syria and Iran before us."
As for the call for Mr Blair and Mr Bush to face justice in The Hague, he said different standards appeared to be set for prosecuting African leaders than western ones, and that the death toll during and after the Iraq conflict was sufficient on its own for them to face action.
"On these grounds, alone, in a consistent world, those responsible should be treading the same path as some of their African and Asian peers who have been made to answer for their actions in The Hague."
Archbishop Tutu, a long time critic of the Iraq war, pulled out of a South African conference on leadership last week because Mr Blair was attending.
