Love Me Tender, By Jane Feaver
Friday 07 May 2010
Jane Feaver's memorable debut, According to Ruth, depicted the dog days of a Seventies marriage. Her second book, a collection of short stories set in rural Devon, confirms her considerable talents. Revolving around the love lives of the inhabitants of the small town of Buckleigh, these prickly and passionate tales capture the brief moment of reprieve before the rain-clouds crowd in.
The Red Lion pub is the starting point of many a wrong turn. It's where the Buckleigh brass band congregates on Wednesday nights, where widowers pull up a stool at Christmas and where the village singletons seek out "something warm to hang on to." Characters who crop up in the opening stories often reprise their part later on, lending the book the scope and resonance of a novel. Feaver's lonely hearts range from sulky teenagers and bruised mothers, to the kind of man who only possesses one pair of work trousers. What interests Feaver more than telling us the story, is explaining how ordinary life works. Sex and class hold no fears for her.
In the opening story, "The Mayor of Buckleigh", Barry, the local mayor, finds himself involved with Debbie, a single-mother from London. Simultaneously panicked and bowled-over by her city-bred ways, he falls back on gentleness as his winning card. Like most of the men in the book he's fixated by breasts ("two soft birds, each with its blister of an eye"), but spends more time warming his fantasies than the real thing. Debbie, like most of the women in the book, is forced to take the romantic lead, but at the critical moment finds herself staring "straight into space, through the ceiling, through the roof."
In the restricted boundaries of a short story there's nowhere to hide, and Feaver understands how to shift the mood of a piece in the turn of a phrase or a casual cruelty. In the most dramatic story in the book, "Dancing on a Pin", Irene, the barmaid from the Red Lion, stumbles back to her caravan on legs "as stiff as a table".
When the local farmer knocks on the door in the middle of the night, there are no words or explanations, just "a dovetailing of limbs assembled almost instantly." Outside his wife circles the rocking love-nest with a can of petrol. Like Helen Simpson and Tessa Hadley, to whom her work favourably compares, Feaver shares a subversive streak that gives even her gloomier stories a comic undertow. Distinguishing her stories, however, is a home-grown pastoralism that is more poetic in origin. Her characters' emotional lives may be precarious, but the unlovely countryside and bad weather outside is reassuringly solid. Feaver is too good a writer to let us linger on pretty things.

Under the new rules, plan providers will have to disclose all fees to employers, which the Labor Department hopes will keep fees "reasonable" by allowing employers to comparison shop between plans with different costs. Employers will have to pass along some of that information, in terms of price per $1,000 invested, to plan participants.
It will be up to employers to educate their participants about the ins and outs of each option … but it's not clear that they're ready. A survey from the Government Accountability Office earlier this year surveyed 1,000 providers and found that half either didn't know if they or their participants paid investment management fees or thought that the fees were waived by service providers. (Nope.)
According to an AARP survey, 71% of respondents didn't think they paid fees on their 401(k)s. Thank goodness we're finally getting some clarity.

Elliott Bay Design Group's (EBDG) New Orleans office partnered with Gulf Island Marine Fabricators, LLC. on the class design and production engineering for the EB-210CC OSV (Offshore Support Vessel).
The scope of this new design project included detail design, structural, mechanical, piping and outfitting design as well as 3-D assembly drawings of the vessel structure utilizing ShipConstructor software. In addition, EBDG is the primary point of contact for all regulatory body requests for information.
The EB-210CC features a unique tank farm specific to the vessel's mission, which is confidential. "This is not a regular OSV design," explained EBDG Gulf General Manager, Keith Keller. "It would be considered a Specialty Vessel, and the design was developed from concept to production here in the Gulf Coast office."
EBDG is known for its long-standing expertise with production support and lofting systems modeling. The firm's experience with all stages of the vessel design, construction support and regulatory liaison processes made it uniquely qualified to support Gulf Island Marine Fabricators, LLC on the OSV project.
Since the reopening of its Gulf Coast Office in 2012, EBDG has garnered much attention for its exemplary OSV work on the Gulf Coast, attracting a steady flow of clients and projects both nationally and abroad, most recently in Mexico and Trinidad.

MRI System Employs New Magnet Technology for Superior Image Quality
By Medimaging International staff writers
Posted on 31 Oct 2013
Image: Toshiba's Vantage Elan 1.5 T MRI system (Photo courtesy of Toshiba).
A next-generation 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system provides excellent intrinsic homogeneity by employing a new magnet technology. The technology also provides excellent image quality even in the most difficult examination requirements such as off-center imaging or in a large field-of-view requiring fat-free images.
Toshiba Medical Systems Corp. (Tokyo, Japan) presented its new 1.5 T MRI system at the Journées Françaises de la Radiologie (French Radiology Congress), held in Paris (France) from October the 18-22, 2013. With more than 1,700 systems already installed worldwide, the Vantage range of MRI scanners provided a strong technologic basis for the new design of the Vantage Elan.
The developers of the system have improved the comfort of the scanning procedure by introducing a new technology called Pianissimo Σ, which substantially reduces the noise for the patient and the operator. The new light coil design with Octave SPEEDER technology provides easier set up and a more comfortable experience for the patient without sacrificing image quality. Feet first examination technique also helps to reduce patient anxiety. Finally, the new bore aperture, short length magnet and air flow system, provides the patient with a comfortable place to have their examination with less stress.
The new technology now makes it possible to perform a full body noncontrast MR angiography (MRA). Toshiba developed the technique to remove the need to use expensive and potentially harmful contrast media while still providing contrast in the images. Toshiba has saved users from choosing to inject contrast media in their patients while giving them even better information without the problems that contrast can cause in obscuring fine details.
Toshiba's M-Power software allows the user to rapidly and easily learn and access all of sophisticated software techniques. With high SPEEDER factors and the ability to use versatile 16ch Flex coils, one can get the best images in the least time with the greatest comfort for patients. Atlas Compass technology selects the best elements to perform the imaging procedure.
More importantly, the Vantage Elan is eco-friendly as this system strongly reduces it power consumption through the Eco mode. In conventional MRI systems, power is supplied to various subsystems even while in standby mode in order to maintain a stable system operation. The Vantage Elan provides a novel Eco mode in which power is supplied to fewer subsystems while maintaining stable operation, simultaneously saving money and helping the environment.
The Vantage Elan only requires 23 square meters for a complete installation accomplished in only one week. The system maximizes performance while reducing space requirement, establishing a new segment for the 1.5T image space.

Marc Trestman has a big decision to make on Sunday, should he kick to Devin Hester … or not? The answer to that question is much more complicated than it appears to be. The Background When Trestman arrived in Chicago, he made it very clear that Hester wasn't going to be a part of his offense. After a few years of attempting to be a #1 wide receiver in Chicago, Hester's offensive...

• Matt Damon may have laughed off speculation that he'd play Robin to Ben Affleck's Batman, but he will be teaming up with The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan for Interstellar. He'll join the Iceland-based production of the secretive time travel epic starring Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, and Matthew McConaughey for two weeks out of the four month shoot. Damon's "small role" is, naturally, being kept under wraps. The large ensemble cast also boasts Casey Affleck, David Oyelowo, Topher Grace, Michael Caine, John Lithgow, and Ellen Burstyn. This marks Damon's first time working with Nolan. [IndieWire]

'Dark Knight Trilogy' sets Blu-ray release date
Christian Bale might be finished with the role of Batman, but fans can see him as Gotham's protector once again when Warner Bros. releases The Dark Knight Trilogy: Ultimate Collector's Edition on Blu-ray on Sept. 24. Not only will Bat-geeks get to re-watch the caped crusader's epic battles against Scarecrow, Ra's al-Gul, the Joker, Two-Face, and Bane, but the six-disc set will feature two new featurettes.
Click below for Warner Bros.' descriptions of the bonus features:
Christian Bale says he won't be Batman in 'Justice League' movie
We already knew that Christian Bale probably wasn't going to show up as Batman in the upcoming Justice League movie, the Avengers-style supergroup of DC heroes. First, Bale said that he wouldn't do another Batman movie unless Christopher Nolan opted for a fourth Dark Knight chapter, which Nolan says isn't happening. Then Man of Steel and Dark Knight screenwriter David S. Goyer confirmed that the Justice League's Batman would be a rebooted character. So that pretty much closed the book.
Still, with news like this, sometimes you just have to hear it from the man himself.
Hans Zimmer will score Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar'
Epic music maestro Hans Zimmer is teaming up with Christopher Nolan yet again. The composer will write the score for Nolan's Interstellar. Collider first reported the news.
Zimmer told Collider that he has actually already started doing some writing for the music of Interstellar, which doesn't hit theaters until Nov. 7, 2014. Described as a "heroic interstellar voyage to the furthest reaches of our scientific understanding," Interstellar is a time travel epic based on scientific theories developed by American physicist Kip Thorne, who will executive produce. Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, and Michael Caine (of course) have been attached to star.
'Man of Steel' trailer: Oh my Zod! -- VIDEO
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's… another new trailer for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, which combines this staticky message from General Zod with the darker tone, battle scenes, and shots of Henry Cavill's Bearded Super-Fisherman we've seen in other spots. All of it, naturally, is set to Hans Zimmer's pounding score. The fate of our planet rests on you watching this video:
Paramount and IMAX make five-picture deal that includes 'Transformers 4' and 'Interstellar'
Paramount will release five of its biggest upcoming tentpole movies — including Transformers 4 and Christopher Nolan's Interstellar — on IMAX, continuing the studio's partnership with the supersize-screened movie theater company. "We're thrilled and honored to once again team up with our longtime partners Christopher Nolan and Michael Bay," said Greg Foster, chairman and president of IMAX Entertainment, in a statement following an announcement at Cinema-Con. "We can't wait to showcase their vision to IMAX fans around the world."
Nolan and Bay have previously used the special IMAX cameras to capture crisper action sequences in 70 mm, notably in the last two Dark Knight films and the most recent Transformers film. The Dark Knight Rises featured about an hour of IMAX footage, and Nolan has become a huge advocate for the technology. "For me, it's simply the best way to make a film, and why more people haven't done it I could not tell you," Nolan told Film Comment in November.

Casting Net: Morgan Freeman in talks for another Christopher Nolan film; Plus, Michael Caine, Rachel McAdams, more
• Morgan Freeman is finding his way back to the world of Christopher Nolan. No, the Dark Knight director hasn't signed Freeman onto his highly anticipated next original project. (Though Anne Hathaway might make the leap to sci-fi for that film, Interstellar.) Freeman is in final negotiations to star in the directorial debut of Wally Pfister, Nolan's longtime cinematographer. Nolan is producing the film, called Transcendence. Plot details are being kept under wraps for the sci-fi film, but it's been described as in the vein of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Inception. Already signed on are Johnny Depp, Kate Mara (127 Hours), Paul Bettany (A Beautiful Mind), and Rebecca Hall (The Town). Alcon Entertainment announced Freeman's casting news via press release on Thursday. READ FULL STORY
'Man of Steel' will open door for more DC Comics superhero movies -- EXCLUSIVE
When Man of Steel hits theaters on June 14, it won't just mark the arrival of a new Superman — it will also lay the groundwork for the future slate of films based on DC Comics.
Jeff Robinov, president of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, spoke to EW for this week's cover story on the Zack Snyder-directed, Christopher Nolan-produced movie, and allowed a peek over the wall of secrecy surrounding their DC Comics plans: "It's setting the tone for what the movies are going to be like going forward. In that, it's definitely a first step."
Will Man of Steel include references to other DC heroes headed to the big screen, as Marvel did with its pre-Avengers series of flicks?
"I think you'll see that, going forward, anything can live in this world," he said. "[Nolan's] Batman was deliberately and smartly positioned as a stand-alone. The world they lived in was very isolated without any knowledge of any other superheroes. What Zack and Chris have done with this film is allow you to really introduce other characters into the same world."
Casting Net: Anne Hathaway may re-team with Christopher Nolan; Plus, Jim Carrey, 'Kung Fu Panda 3,' more
• Anne Hathaway has her Academy Award. The Hathahaters have moved on. She's already lined up a Lynn Shelton indie. What's her next move? A Christopher Nolan
blockbuster "interstellar voyage to the furthest reaches of our scientific understanding" of course! The Les Miserables actress is in final talks to reunite with her Dark Knight Rises director for his highly anticipated and annoyingly secretive film Interstellar, based on the theories of theoretical physicist (and time travel enthusiast) Kip Thorne. Matthew McConaughey has signed on to play the male lead in the film, which has already set a November 7, 2014 release date. Despite Hathaway's diverse resume of musicals, rom-coms, rom-drams, teen flicks, and comics, she hasn't tackled the sci-fi world yet, making the possibility even more exciting. [Deadline]
• Jim Carrey has decided to join the comedy Ricky Stanicky, after a reported year of negotiations. The title refers to the name of an invented scapegoat for a group of troublemaking friends. What started out as a teenage joke continues into adulthood, though, until their significant others insist on meeting him. Instead of coming clean, they hire someone to be Stanicky. Carrey's Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls director Steve Oedekerk will helm the Summit Entertainment feature. According to the report, James Franco was originally attached to star, and Joaquin Phoenix was in consideration as well. [THR]
'Man of Steel' TV spot: What kind of Superman will he be? -- VIDEO
The newest TV spot for Man of Steel doesn't feature too much new footage, but it further develops the bleak-messiah tone seen in earlier trailers. Angelic music, introspective narration, Kevin Costner as the voice of American everydad, and almost no colors besides Superman's red cape? Message received: This ain't Superman IV: Quest 4 Peace.

Breaking: Chile Passes Shark Finning Ban
Fantastic news! Earlier this afternoon, the Chilean National Congress passed a nationwide ban on shark finning.
This groundbreaking decision comes on the heels of a very similar ban passed by the United States Congress last December, and puts both countries at the forefront of shark conservation. Oceana drafted the Chilean bill in January, and we are elated to see it pass into law – without a single dissenter.
Shark finning is an inhumane practice that often involves throwing the rest of the shark's body back into the water once the desired fin is obtained. Despite its cruelty, shark finning is incredibly rampant, due to culinary demand from Asian countries such as China, where shark fin soup is popular.
With the passage of this bill, Chile joins a growing list of countries leading the way in shark conservation. Because sharks do not respect national boundaries, this legislation will help protect shark populations and ocean health in Chile and beyond.
Chile has also become a large shark fin exporter. A Freedom of Information Act request filed by Oceana to the Chilean National Customs Service revealed that between 2006 and 2009, 71 tons of dry shark fins from eight different species were exported.
Without sharks as top predators, the rest of the marine ecosystem suffers a glaring imbalance and entire food chains can be thrown into disarray.
Congrats to our Chilean colleagues for this wonderful victory for sharks and the oceans!

Gadget Rumor: Next Gen Mac Mini On Film…Or Is It? (video)
Who the hell knows what is going on. A few days ago we showed you a pic of what was rumored to be the 'new' next gen Mac Mini. Shortly after, Photoshop afficianados said the pics were fake after reviewing the hidden artifacts embedded in the pictures. Now, the same tipster – who says he was a 'previous' Apple employee and isn't bound by an NDA – has leaked a video showing off the computer and all its tell tale 'next gen' Mac Mini qualities. I think someone just took a Mac Mini and modded it with the extra ports. Afterall, how would a exApple employee be able to shoot video or get one of these home. Thoughts? Video below.

my house was built in 1972 and i have a standing tile shower. the pan needs replacing. i have gotten many bids to replace the whole shower because it does not have green rock and cement supports. my insurance adjuster will only allow for 2ft of tile to be removed to replace pan. should i go for a total replacement or let them just replace the tile the insurance co. agrees to? i don't want to have to do this again in a couple of years. thank you very much.
At almost 30 years, I would replace the whole shower and @#%@&*#@ all the insurance companies. If replaced properly you should not have to worry about the shower for another 30 years. Also have them raise the shower head (pet peeve) while the whole thing is apart. Take what little they give you and put it toward the new shower.........

Future of Nursing Initiative
FRIDAY, Feb. 19 (HealthDay News) -- Two minimally invasive surgical techniques offer good outcomes and better recovery than laparotomy for the treatment of uterine fibroids, according to a study in the February issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
Kuo-Chang Wen, M.D., from Taipei Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan, and colleagues compared the long-term efficacy and outcomes of myomectomy in 224 women with uterine fibroids, where 79 women underwent laparotomy, 71 women underwent ultraminilaparotomy (UMLT, defined as having an incision length of less than 4 cm), and 74 women underwent laparoscopically assisted UMLT. All women had fewer than five fibroids less than 8 cm in diameter.
After a median follow-up of 52 months, the researchers found that the recurrence rates were similar in all three groups. Both UMLT approaches had better outcomes, resulting in significantly less postoperative pain and better recovery, including a shorter period of paralytic ileus, faster removal of the closed wound vacuum reservoir, and shorter hospital stay.
"The modified approaches, UMLT and laparoscopically assisted UMLT, are both safe, minimal-access options in place of laparotomy in the successful management of uterine fibroids, since they have the advantage of rapid postoperative recovery," Wen and colleagues conclude.

Michael Jackson's Maid Says He Was a Junkie and Almost Died Twice [VIDEO
Michael Jackson's maid claims he was a junkie
Michael Jackson's maid is claiming that the late King of Pop was nothing more than a junkie.
Adrian McManus worked as Jackson's personal maid in the 1990's. In a revealing interview with United Kingdom's The Mirror, Jackson's former hire shared how the singer was found dead almost twice. In one instance, she knocked on his door in 1993 but heard no response. She later found him lying in bed and said he did not appear to be breathing.
"My heart sank as I thought he was dead. I called his name for several minutes," she said. "I feared that he was gone forever, but then he came to suddenly. He didn't say a word, but burst into tears."
McManus did not call for help since she had been previously ordered not to allow outsiders onto Jackson's property. A few weeks later, Jackson was once again found unresponsive by the pool. His bodyguards had to revive him, according to McManus.
"Michael made his guards train in CPR so they knew what to do," she said.
Jackson's maid said that he would keep drugs around the house and in his clothes. She was angered that he has remained still so revered despite his addiction.
"It is a shock that people didn't realize he had such issues, as it was common knowledge in the 1990s,'" McManus said. "Michael was not a pop hero, but a messed-up, depraved junkie, who was manipulative, twisted and demonic. I still have nightmares thinking about Neverland."
TMZ revealed years ago court documents proving that another one of Jackson's maids, Kristina Fournier, told law enforcement in 1993 she saw syringes on Jackson's Nederland property. She spoke about doctors coming and going into the house.
"I think he had good periods and bad periods, and when he had a bad period, he had a bad period. Then he would get off (referring to drugs) and then it would start again," she said.
Fournier also said the drug use was well known. She added, "Yes, and people would say, his eyes were rolling in the back of his head and he wouldn't know what he was talking about."

Google Maps – now for walking
INTERNET| July 11, 2012, 1:29 p.m.
Google Africa has announced that its Google Maps now extend to directions for walking in many African countries too.
Google announced its Google Maps driving directions in African countries in 2010. It has now added walking directions for 44 African countries.
Google says that to get walking directions, start by doing one of the following:
- Click Get directions, enter a starting and ending location and click Get Directions.
- In the search field, enter a from-to statement (example: from Nyayo House to Anniversary Towers) and click Search Maps.
- Click "Directions" in an info window that pops up for a business or location
- Right-click on the map to get directions to that location
Google notes that walking directions are currently in beta, and the routes may be missing sidewalks or pedestrian crossings.
Walking directions are editable, so if anything is amiss, users can correct it with the community mapping tool, Google Map Maker.

Popular federal mobile applications designed for the public could use a few tweaks to make them even more engaging and useful, according to a new report from the White Horse Digital Futures Group marketing agency.
The "Mobile Guidelines for Federal Government Agencies" report on Oct. 20 offered detailed reviews of 30 popular federal mobile applications. Report author Will Reese singled out seven of the 30 mobile applications for praise, including The White House, Smithsonian Channel and 9/11 apps, along with National Science Foundation's Science 360, the General Service Administration's USAJobs, USArmy News and Smithsonian's Leafsnap.

Gov 2.0 on the go; agencies hit it big with mobile appsSmithsonian Mobile strategy aimed at learning
These seven federal mobile applications have identified successfully their strategic users, are offering a core experience and "compelling benefits" to those users, and take full advantage of mobile platforms, the report said.
For example, the 9/11 Memorial application is designed specifically for visitors to the museum and memorial at the site of the attack in New York, with useful information easily available at their fingertips while they are touring the location.
The Science360 application provides a compelling "coffeetable book experience" of multiple science-related photographs that display in a full color on an iPhone or iPad screen, the review said.
But the remainder of the federal consumer-facing applications could use a bit of improvement, or may need to be overhauled or eliminated, the report suggested.
For example, the Recovery.gov mobile application showing economic stimulus spending on a map is confusing and may give users the wrong impression, the author wrote.
The user sees multiple dots on a map, with each dot signifying a project. But the images on Recovery.gov soon get chaotic, the report suggests.
"On zooming out, the number of dots increases, creating a sense that funded projects exist everywhere. There is little order or priority—$2 million projects appear the same as $20,000 projects—making it hard for a user to know how to sort the information and what to look for in it," White Horse Digital said in the report. "This confusion creates an impression of random, if not chaotic, expenditure, which is, of course, counter to the government's aims of appearing effective and accountable."
Other federal mobile applications that came under criticism in the report included Bureau of Printing and Engraving's EyeNote and Smithsonian's Meanderthal, which authors said were both less sophisticated than commercially-available products; as well as the Smithsonian Collection Guide, which it suggested was too complex and untargeted.
Some of the author's findings might appear to be based on a casual assessment. For example, the author suggested that the Health and Human Services Department's My Dietary Supplements (MyDs) mobile application to help individuals track their medical drug intake "seemed irrelevant" and the application should be "tossed."
However, HHS officials previously have said the MyDs application provides a significant service to individuals who are on multiple drug regimens and need to have their drug information readily at hand at doctors' appointments.

Thanks for this great coverage. To clarify: our assessment is based on first principles of human factors. In the case of the "My Dietary Supplements (MyDs) mobile application," the experience is not an app but, by our analysis, a widget. We judged it irrelevant specifically in relation to more compelling overarching user concerns about supplements--understanding side effects, safety, efficacy, dosage, purity, drug interactions--which could provide stronger benefits stories and drive greater usage than simple list-based memory aids. Many native mobile tools already handle simple list making easily, so expending valuable government resources for something like "MyDs" is unnecessary. Hope this helps.
Nice overview, and headings for the future will make it even better.

Uttar Pradesh lifts ban on "Aaja Nachle"
LUCKNOW (Reuters) - The Uttar Pradesh government on Saturday lifted a ban on Madhuri Dixit's much-awaited comeback film "Aaja Nachle," even as the Punjab government imposed a ban on the screening of the film in the state.
The film ran into trouble over derogatory references to a particular community in a song in the movie.
Following suit, Punjab also imposed a ban on the Bollywood flick on Saturday.
The ban in Uttar Pradesh was lifted following an apology from the film makers.
"Film maker Yash Chopra has tendered a formal apology to the Chief Minister following which the UP government has decided to withdraw the ban order," the state cabinet secretary Shashank Shekhar Singh told Reuters on Saturday.
"Chopra has also assured that he will not use those objectionable excerpts in any subsequent film either," he said.
The ban on "Aaja Nachle" in Punjab was, however, still on.
Punjab Chief Secretary Ramesh Inder Singh told Reuters, "There is a song in the movie that creates caste discrimination, so we have banned the movie today," he said.
"If the objectionable part is deleted then obviously we will lift the ban," he said.
Film Director Anil Mehta told Reuters he was happy to know about the recent developments and welcomed the support from the Uttar Pradesh government.
In the movie, Dixit plays the role of a divorced choreographer who returns to India to save the theatre where she had first learnt to dance.
