We know it's not Friday now, obviously. But presumably it was Friday when Katy Perry sang this song. Just watch the video, everything will be explained.
Conveniently, there's a useable story about all Top 3 of our 100 Sexiest Women today. That's a bit magic that is; almost like God, or Buddha, or Superman or whoever it is calling the shots up there has mystically shifted the world to give us something vaguely relevant to write about.
Just in case you've forgotten what she looks like, here's a picture of Katy Perry
Well, alright, the Rihanna story is "Rihanna looks hot shopping for stuff," but we can work with that, yeah? So Katy Perry, officially your #2 Sexiest Woman in the World, is a singer. This you know. She sings all sorts of things, including a cover of that insidious little Rebecca Black's song Friday, as you can see above.
Friday's garnered a lot of derivative work ever since US funnyman Daniel Tosh featured it on his show and the video went massively viral (pretty soon the YouTube "times watched" counter will actually fill up and roll back to zero). For instance, we've already told you about a cheery Russian fellow who was so happy that it was Friday, he did a little dance.
There's also this Death Metal version, which is great if you like buckets of distorted noise and shouting:
Or there's "Bob Dylan's" version (note - not actually Bob Dylan), which gives the song a sort of melancholic air. This sort of proves that anything sounds profound if you sing it in Bob Dylan's voice:
Or, probably best of all, legendary political commentator and comedian Stephen Colbert sings it live on Jimmy Fallon's show with The Roots backing them up. It's inspiring stuff:
If you've got time after all those, you really should set aside four minutes to watch Alanis Morissette's cover of My Humps by the Black Eyed Peas. It's tremendously poignant:

Joell Ortiz - Good Times
Artist: Joell Ortiz
Producer: Drewski
Album: Free Agent
Avg Rating: 2.7 ( 19 votes )
Recently being granted his requested release from Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment (reportedly after refusing to dumb down his lyrics for radio), Brooklyn's Joell Ortiz is happy to be a free agent right now. Close to what we've heard, the Brooklyn native once again takes the listener back to his Cooper Park Projects neighborhood to reflect on all the Good Times experienced; since they tend to be few and far between, we're left to wonder, in Ortiz's words, "days like this, why they have to stop?" As Joell's most-underrated-MC status is maintained on his verses, additional credit should go to producer Drewski, whose sampling of Bobby Darin's classic When I Get Home provides a smooth, easygoing backdrop. For all those looking for some good old-fashioned quality hip-hop, check for Joell Ortiz' upcoming sophomore album Free Agent, which will be in stores sooner than you think.

Screen legend Jessica Lange says the secret to her longevity in Hollywood is simply trusting her instincts.
As you can tell from looking at my career, there was no plan! the 64-year-old said with a hearty laugh. It's never setting out with a goal in mind or project or whatever. It's what kind of captures my imagination in the moment.
Lange's gut feeling recently led her to a new path as a children's book author. It's About a Little Bird follows two young sisters who discover an antique birdcage at their grandmothers' farm.
It felt natural and organic and simple and kind of charmed, Lange said of creating the picture book based on her real-life experiences and featuring photographs she took and tinted by hand.
The two-time Academy Award winner discussed the book, which began as a handmade Christmas gift for her granddaughters, and the new season of her not-so-kid-friendly FX series American Horror Story: Coven, which premiered Wednesday.
Q. How did you go about writing It's About a Little Bird?
A. I didn't do it in that kind of deliberate way. It wasn't something that I had determined to do. It started really because I'm a photographer and I shoot black-and-white film. So that's kind of how it started, working on some of my own black-and-white imagery and hand-tinting them. ... And then one morning I woke up, I was up at my farm at upstate New York and I woke up and this story just kind of came to me and I thought, I'm going to write this for my granddaughters, make this a story for them. ... And then from there it was one of those things where somebody said, Why don't you print this?
Q. Do your granddaughters get to see much of your work?
A. Well, obviously there's a lot they can't see, you know. I don't want them to see Frances or to see, you know, Blue Sky. There's a lot that they'll see when they get older. ... I remember years ago when I won the Emmy for Grey Gardens, which they hadn't seen, but they had seen a picture of me as like Edith Beale, which I'm sure was very confusing. But my daughter, in the morning when they woke up, showed them a little clip of me winning the Emmy and my speech and she told me later that day that my youngest granddaughter went to school and they asked if anybody had anything to share and she stood up and she said my grandmother won a big prize! So I thought that was great.
Q. How did Ryan Murphy get you on board for three seasons of American Horror Story?
A. He called me up out of the blue – I had never met him – and started talking. And I just thought, Wow, he's got quite a spiel here. This is really something. I haven't been kind of seduced like this in a long time. And you know he has a kind of uncanny intelligence about this, a talent, genius in a way and it became something really fascinating. ... He keeps kind of dangling that carrot out there. It's hard to say no.
Q. What can you tell us about your new Coven character Fiona Goode?
A. It's a woman who has ... all the powers in the world, and again I think it's a metaphor for a lot of different things, and who misuses it for the most selfish, self-serving purposes. You know has that kind of confrontation with her own mortality, finally, and realizes, you know, a wasted life. And what do you do at this age when you think, I've wasted it all? I've thrown it all away?
Q. What does success mean to you at this point in your career?
A. Box office success has never meant anything. I've never been so-called box office. I mean I couldn't get a film made if I paid for it myself. So I'm not box office and never have been and that's never entered into my kind of mind set here. ... It is the kind of acknowledgment by other actors, really. That's really what is most meaningful.

New Balance Men's 4040 V2 Low Metal Baseball Cleat 28 28
NEW BALANCE IS SUPER!!!! NEW BALANCE ALWAYS DOES A GOOD JOB....MY GRANDSON IS A PITCHER SO IT TAKES A LOT OF CLEATS FOR HIM,........WE ALWAYS FIND WHAT WE NEED AT DICKS AND WE THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THEM IN STOCK YEAR ROUND!!!! AND WE LIKE THE REWARD DOLLARS....THAT HELPS...... November 11, 2014
Great fit The look and feel is awesome great to have a running company make baseball cleats October 25, 2014
Cleats were very comfortable! They fit him well. They left the hard, plastic sensor on one shoe. He needed them right away for a game so my husband was able to cut it off. I was not happy that Dick's did that! October 15, 2014
Great shoe Bought these shoes for my 13 year old son. They are true to size. He loves them. They are wide enough for his foot and says they are very comfortable. There was no breaking in period. October 11, 2014
These shoes fit right and feel good It seems lately some of the cleats run small, they are tight and will rub the skin right off your heal! These shoes are comfortable and have a good fit well worth the money spent. September 23, 2014
Good cleat Good fit, good quality shoe. Son really likes them and has been through a number of cleats over the years. September 16, 2014
Great shoe, very well made My son says they are the most comfortable cleat he's had . September 13, 2014
Very Comfortable, Look Great Love these cleats. Very comfortable and they look great. As a pitcher, I like the toe guard on the front. I think that will help cut down on wearing out of the toe. They seem to run small because the first pair I got in the size I normally wear was too small. Got a half size larger and they fit great. September 12, 2014
Most Comfortable on the Market My 14 year old son wore the 3030's for a season and loved those. He told me after wearing the 4040's that these were even more comfortable than the 3030's. Recommend this spike highly above the rest. It's extremely light and durable. He did not "wear out" his 3030's. He simply outgrew them. It didn't take long to decide which replacement to buy him. He'll wear New Balance as long as he plays baseball. August 18, 2014
The New Balance 4040...not good.. I purchased these on line...paid $106.00 for them...the first time my grandson wore them they split!! Could not believe that these shoes tore like they did...he only weighs 110 pounds...!! I could have purchased a shoe that cost much less....not at all happy with this purchase.. June 28, 2014

One the largest full moon will be observed next Friday night, it's reported. I still can't get wolves off my mind...esp since my children and I are completely mesmerized by the Planet Earth DVD series right now. One of my daughters was born in August -- the busiest time of the year for most OB/GYN/maternity wards around the country. As you know, we celebrated our first Paleo b-day party for her this year. Apparently she is hardly alone in celebrating a birthday in this month! In the U.S., August is the month with the highest birth rates according to a report by ABC News (we concur -- nearly got kicked out and diverted to another hospital the night of the impending birth since all the beds were full -- luckily one opened up *wink*):
Summertime Mystery: More Born, Less Die in August
If human mammals have 40-week gestation periods (10-lunar months) and you do the math....there are a lot of us participating in uuuummm...reproductive activities during this month of cheer, festivities, and mirth, December. How is Vitamin D vital to some of these uuummm 'processes' do you ever wonder?
Are we so different from wolves and bears? Obviously we are different species (bears, 38 chromosomes; wolves, 39; humans, 23) however hormonally we are very very similar:
--progesterone (the 'pregnancy' hormone)
--vitamin D (sourced from sun and rich salmon catches; IDEAL: 60-70s ng/ml )
--PTH (breaks down bone to modulate blood calcium, esp when vitamin D is low; IDEAL PTH levels imo 10-20)
-- thyroid hormones T3 T4 and related TRH (thyrotropin-releasing hormone) and TSH (thyrotropin)
Sex Hormones in Black Bears
Researchers of black bears compared sex hormone concentrations between between summer and winter seasons as well as pregnant v. non-pregnant bears. Guess what 3 things they discovered?
Seasonality, Sex and Survival
The length of the day (photoperiod) triggers activation of Thyroid hormone in both the hypothalamus and the pituitary glands in the birds and the bees...well...specifically QUAILS as demonstrated in the latest scientific breakthrough in Nature (below). The same research group shows a similar outcome in mice...here in the prestigious PNAS Nov 2008.
And yes in case you are wondering humans have VDRs (vitamin D receptors) all over the brain -- in the hypothalamus (McGrath JJ, J Chem Neuroanat 2005 )and of course the pituitary (Diguez C Life Sci. 1997 ).
So what may signal an increase in Thyroid hormone in bears and humans? What extends the photoperiods and those warm, long, lazy summer days?
Did you know in humans, seasonality of Thyroid hormones are observed as they are in the above bear studies? HERE, HERE and HERE. The Pituitary-Thyroid-Hypothalamus-Gonad axis potently controls reproduction. I talk about the Pituitary and Hypothalamus a lot because these are the endocrine glands which produce the signals that impact the sex organs (gonads) to produce Estrogen, Progesterone, DHEA, Testosterone, etc. The sypmphony of hormone music is truly a monumental miracle -- all geared to produce one single event. Yes, it truly breaks down to one thing.
No...not the 'O'... silly, which aint a bad event...
Survival of the species...
More and more trials and studies are coming out demonstrating how Vitamin D synergistically affects this awesome baby-making health axis.
Dr. Davis has now discussed how both the hormone of light (Vitamin D) and the hormone of darkness (Melatonin) controls and optimizes the cardiovascular system. Indeed, they actually optimize every system including the reproductive.
Degeneration Associated with Vitamin D Deficiency
The role of vitamin D to me appears central and pivotal for signalling mammalian bodies to prepare for reproduction/survival. By survival, I'm referring to survival of our lineage and paternal/maternal DNA. There are a few things non-conducive to that achievement...for instance, death is one. Death of either parent would diminish chances of passing on beneficial genes I would guess. Myocardial infarction or erectile dysfunction might be another. How is our survival linked to nutrients and optimization of survival? Dr. Bruce Ames has discussed the importance of achieving optimal levels of ALL micro- and macronutritients to prevent DNA damage and cancer here in his famous/infamous PNAS article ( Low micronutrient intake may accelerate the degenerative diseases of aging through allocation of scarce micronutrients by triage.PNAS 2006 Nov 21;103(47):17589-94.); Magnesium deficiency accelerates cellular senescence in cultured human fibroblasts. Killilea DW et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2008). His research has shown that if even one nutrient (like, let's say folic acid) is omitted, DNA damage occurs in the lab animal just as if the lab animal sustained significant radiation damage. For heart disease, we at TYP understand the importance of obtaining nutrients for the benefits of reversal of atherosclerosis and plaque. This also absolutely extends to fertility and reproduction. I loved Dr. Schwalfenberg's organ review and the role of Vitamin D in every organ system HERE. Reproduction is one of the most important functions for survival (right?) and it was another organ system that unfortunately failed to get a mention (in addition to Parathyroid and Thyroid). So..."let's talk about S*X baby..." *wink*
Vitamin D From Sunlight
Do you feel sexier in the summer? High vitamin D (eg, long photoperiods/sunlight) appears to be correlated with high reproductive activities and characteristics which are conducive to reproduction, for example great skin/hair (estrogen), great muscles and physique (testosterone), amorous displays (testosterone) and libido (testosterone). Did you know that Vitamin D supplementation normalizes estrogen and testosterone (via aromatase)? In men with low testosterone, supplemenation can modulate and raise blood testosterone. In women, the same, with estrogen.
But let's be reasonable. Taking supplemental vitamin D is not going to make you an immortal god/goddess overnight.
But it will sure help.
Fertility and Survival
Both long-term survival (species) and short-term survival (individual) appear assured when both vitamin D and sex hormones are set within normal limits. At TYP, hormone replacement with vitamin D, bio-identical estrogen and testosterone have been shown to allow regression and eradication of plaque and heart disease successfully. Vitamin D of course is vital for reproductive health, and deficiency may have long-range survival consequences as we are finding out globally.
How many infertile couples do you know of? How many moms with PCOS (eg, wheat intolerance, insulin resistant, fish oil/vit D deficient) who can't naturally conceive? How many celebrity twins can you count being born annually? Or just the ones among your friends, family, acquaintenances and neighbors?
Vitamin D Deficiency Linked to Infertility, Low Sperm Counts, Maternal Pre-eclampsia, Pre-emies, and Premature Births, SIDS, Infant Mortality
Vitamin D is necessary for optimal health. Unfortunately the corollary is true and supported by the established and emerging medical literature. Deficiency leads to suboptimal health and particularly poor reproductive health...which translates to discontinuation of genetic information for some folks. At the end of October, researchers from Australia prospectively showed that Vitamin D supplementation increased sperm counts in infertile males. A year ago, my OB had told me about the use of Vitamin D in the fertility clinics to improve sperm counts. I couldn't find any prospective studies at the time and just forgot about it. Until now. It entirely makes sense to me.
Vitamin D Plays Major Role in Male Infertility
Animal studies have long supported the important role of vitamin D in reproduction:
Pre-eclampsia is on the rise...like vitamin D deficiency is. Connection? yes. Preventable? absolutely yes. Pre-ecampsia is a life-threatening condition leading to hypertension and early kidney damage in pregnant women usually presenting in the 2nd or 3rd trimester. BP drugs and strict bedrest (eg, not even getting out of bed to pee, no joke).
If vitamin D is a steroid and during pregnancy, the pregnant woman is making 10-TIMES more steroids to grow, sustain, and harbor a growing fetus, what do you think occurs if the mom starts out vitamin D deficient? Or what if she starts out critically vitamin D deficient -- like many women who abhor the sun for vanity (I may be part of this group *wink* and because I was deathly allergic to sun when I was wheat-addicted) and/or wear sunscreen and makeup...what might occur? Can you imagine what might occur as the mom's body starts to run out of the raw materials (cholesterol and vitamin D) to make estrogen, progesterone and oxytocin?
Not good things?
Pre-eclampsia, pregnany-related hypertension, proteinuria, kidney failure, and potential maternal and/or fetal death to name a few.
Fetal neurologic and autoimmune disorders.
Perhaps sowing the seeds for future heart disease? Perhaps the vitamin D deficiency of OUR mothers is currently affecting OUR generation? And future generations.
As we reviewed in the last post, vitamin D regulates our blood pressure by affecting the angiotension-renin-kidney system. Pre-eclampsia is basically a critical hormone and vitamin D imbalance.
Actually little literature exists specifically on this subject (that I could find). SIDS is probably multi-factorial. In utero development of the innervation of the lungs and brain are likely key to susceptilibity factors. I did however find one report which showed low vitamin D levels in all cases of premature and infant death cases.
Perez-Lopez ties it up well for me (Gynecol Endocrinol. 2007 Jan;23(1):13-24)
Vitamin D: the secosteroid hormone and human reproduction
"Vitamin D is a secosteroid with an endocrine mechanism of action which is sequentially synthesized in humans in the skin, liver and kidneys. The active hormone, 1alpha,25-dihydrocholecalciferol [1,25(OH)2D3], is often considered only in terms of its role in controlling calcium and phosphorus homeostasis. However, cumulative evidence points to the presence of vitamin D receptors in many tissues. The present article summarizes key points regarding the participation of vitamin D in pregnancy and breastfeeding. During pregnancy, sufficient vitamin D concentrations are needed not only to address the growing demand for calcium on the part of the fetus, but also to participate in fetal growth, development of the nervous system, lung maturation and fetal immune system function. Hypovitaminosis D has been related to the development of diabetes, pre-eclampsia and fetal neurological disorders. During pregnancy and lactation, calcium from the maternal skeleton is mobilized, with a rise in bone turnover and a reduction in bone mass. It is advisable for pregnant and nursing women to maintain adequate levels of vitamin D, through small doses of solar exposure to facilitate natural formation of the hormone or by ingesting appropriate vitamin supplements."

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Colorado State forced a turnover on a critical defensive stand in the final minute to secure a 62-58 triumph over Wyoming Saturday afternoon at Moby Arena.
The Rams (7-12, 3-1) had a season-low of 11 turnovers in the game. , Head Coach Kristen Holt's second career victory over Wyoming (6-11, 2-2). The Rams also broke the Cowgirls' four-game winning streak for the all-time series. Entering the game, CSU had lost 13 of 14 meetings with Wyoming since a win on Jan. 28, 2005.
Holt noted the play of sophomore Hayley Thompson in helping the Rams lead much of the game.
"There were real positives," said Holt. "Hayley hit some big shots for us today. It was great to see her get going."
Thompson recorded a season-high nine points. She also collected two steals.
"What makes us streaking is our inconsistency with energy," said Thompson. "We need to stay positive and stay together as a team."
Senior Kim Mestdagh scored 21 points, her second consecutive game over 20. She was 8-for-14 from the field and 3-for-6 beyond the arc. She also collected five rebounds.
Wyoming's Kayla Woodward scored 23 points, and was 3-of-3 beyond the arc. Wyoming usually shoots 24.3 percent from the three-point line, but Saturday it shot 77.8 percent to stay in the game.
CSU junior Meghan Heimstra scored eight points and recorded two rebounds. Junior Kelly Hartig scored eight points and had two assists, helping to fill the void left by Sam Martin.
"Meghan stepped up big for us," said Mestdagh. "So did Kelly with Sam fouling so much early."
And this wasn't just any other win, according to Holt.
"Beating our rival was huge," she said. "We haven't beaten them in a long time."
Colorado State will play New Mexico Wednesday at Moby Arena. Tip is set for 7 p.m. Tickets are available in person at the McGraw Center box office, online at CSURams.com, or by calling 1-800/491-RAMS.

After Crimea Votes to Secede, How Will U.S. & Russia Handle Gravest Crisis Since Cold War?
The United States and the European Union are warning Russia not to annex Crimea after voters there overwhelmingly backed a referendum to leave Ukraine. Crimean authorities say 96.8 percent of voters supported the referendum to join Russia, but many members of the ethnic Ukrainian and Muslim Tatar minorities stayed home in a boycott. The Obama administration has threatened sanctions on Russia if Crimea follows through and secedes. But Russia has vowed to approve Crimea's bid in a parliamentary vote. On Saturday, the Russian government vetoed a U.S.-backed Security Council resolution declaring the referendum invalid. Russian forces also seized a natural gas terminal in Ukraine, just outside Crimea's regional border. The situation in Crimea has sparked the gravest crisis in East-West relations since the Cold War. We discuss the Crimea vote and its diplomatic fallout with three guests: Oliver Bullough, Caucasus editor for the Institute for War and Peace Reporting; Nicholas Clayton, a freelance journalist who has been reporting from Crimea and covering the South Caucasus since 2009; and Dmitri Trenin, director of the Carnegie Moscow Center.
Endless War? As Syria Conflict Enters 4th Year, Deadly Stalemate Favors Assad Regime
The conflict between Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and rebels seeking his ouster has just entered its fourth year. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says more than 146,000 people have been killed since the Syrian conflict began on March 15, 2011, roughly half of them civilians. The conflict has displaced more than nine million people, with 2.5 million refugees living outside Syria and 6.5 million displaced within the country. We are joined by Patrick Cockburn, Middle East correspondent for The Independent, who has just returned from several weeks of reporting from Syria.
Snowden Docs Expose How the NSA "Infects" Millions of Computers, Impersonates Facebook Server
New disclosures from Edward Snowden show the NSA is massively expanding its computer hacking worldwide. Software that automatically hacks into computers — known as malware "implants" — had previously been kept to just a few hundred targets. But the news website The Intercept reports that the NSA is spreading the software to millions of computers under an automated system codenamed "Turbine." The Intercept has also revealed the NSA has masqueraded as a fake Facebook server to infect a target's computer and exfiltrate files from a hard drive. We are joined by The Intercept reporter Ryan Gallagher.

Riverbend landfill opponents vow to keep fighting after LUBA defeat
The Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals on May 27 dismissed an appeal filed by the Stop the Dump Coalition, which hoped to prevent expansion of the Riverbend Landfill outside McMinnville.
The LUBA decision was a win for Waste Management Inc., which is seeking to rezone the site to greatly expand its landfill. However, the Stop the Dump Coalition vowed to keep fighting the expansion.
The Stop the Dump Coalition strongly believes that the rezoning of the Riverbend Landfill to masquerade as farmland violates Oregon land use law, said Ilsa Perse, board president of the coalition, in a news release. We will continue to fight expansion of the dump with every means available to us.
Critics of the landfill expansion include city officials and leaders of the wine industry, who are concerned that odors from the landfill will hurt tourism in the community.
For more information about the opposition campaign: http://stopthedumpcoalition.org.
For its part, Waste Management is sponsoring a community meeting on Tuesday, June 10, offering free pizza for those who show up at 6 p.m., in advance of the 7 p.m. meeting. Thats at the Chehalem Cultural Center, 415 E. Sheridan St. in Newberg.

French animator extraordinaire, Sylvain Chomet provided his own unique contribution to a special RTS celebration of the prodigious talents of BBC Bristol producer Colin Rose.
Complete with heart shaped glasses, Sylian sang Colin a special version of "La Vie En Rose' via video, in a fitting finale surprise for a delighted audience of some of the world's leading animators and programme makers at the city's Watershed Arts Centre.
Colin worked with Sylvian on the multi-award winning animated feature, Belleville Rendezvous.
Colin was in conversation with Jeremy Howe (Radio 4 Commissioner) one of his many protégé's from a career which spanned flagship documentaries and arts programming including BBC's much loved 10x10 series and the animation unit where Colin and his team supported and developed a new generation of film and television making talent – commissioning Nick Park's Wrong Trousers and Rex the Runt.
The stellar audience included Aardman team, Nick Park, Peter Lord and David Sproxton as well as many of Colin's BBC contemporaries and collaborators including Jeremy Gibson and Peter Symes and Peter Salmon.
There were places too for the next generation of talent - students from the University of the West of England's undergraduate and postgraduate animation courses.
The evening was introduced by Peter Salmon, Director of BBC England, who also presented Colin with a special award from RTS Bristol - the Sir Ambrose Fleming award for outstanding contribution to the industry.

Said Colin: "I'm a dyed-in-the-wool West Country person and the award means a very great deal to me.
To be honoured by one's fellows in one's own territory in this way is as good as it gets! "

The event was put together by RTS, Bristol, and Watershed Arts Centre to mark 80 years of the BBC in the city.

The Royal Television Society was formed in 1927, nine years before the first public broadcast from Alexandra Palace – forward thinking if ever there was.
The Bristol Centre isn't quite that old but it is the oldest of all the 15 RTS regional centres. Dating back to 1948 the centre represents many members from all aspects of the TV industry in the west.
The RTS West of England Awards is a key event in our diary and each year the incredible talent and creativity is celebrated.

Defense attorneys have rested their case in George Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial after calling 18 witnesses over less than a week.
Prosecutors now plan to call two rebuttal witnesses. Both sides will then work on jury instructions before presenting closing arguments. The case is then sent to jurors.
Zimmerman never testified about the fatal struggle with Trayvon Martin. But jurors saw repeated video recordings of Zimmerman telling his story to investigators. The defense started its case last Friday, and it presented about half the witnesses and took half the time as the prosecution.
In the days before the defense finished Wednesday, they called Zimmerman's friends, mother and uncle to testify that it is Zimmerman screaming for help on a 911 call that captured the fatal fight between Martin and Zimmerman.
Zimmerman is pleading not guilty to second-degree murder. He claims he shot Martin in self-defense.

old man Wagner, on deinem geburtstag (200th)
'Wagner became involved in revolutionary activities against the royal family of Saxony. On Oct. 5, 1848 he was dismissed from the Dresden Hoftheater and he was imprisoned May 7-8, 1849 after taking part in an insurrection on the market square in Dresden that contained the Hotel Saxe (where Liszt stayed and performed) and the Frauenkirche.
When Wagner was able to escape Dresden, he went into exile for many years…' From here.
Much else to say I am sure, but this is the highlight for me.

Course schedule
Unit 1 Introduction: Overview of course content, grading, attendance, paper presentation, museum visit and final exam.
Frames: Theatre, Ritual and Everyday Action
Key Question: How do rituals frame our lives?
1. What is an "altar", what a "stage"? The framing of space and time, the personnel, actor-audience relationships; performance in every-day interaction and as aesthetic events (feast, play, theatre, ritual), with excerpts from Pina Bausch's "Kontakthof", older and young amateurs rehearsing "the meeting of gender".
2. a) Can rituals exist without society/or society without rituals? (excerpts from the film "Dogtooth" by Rachel Tsarangi; see also 4.3). 2.b) Can rituals be abolished by decree? (Point of reference will be the recent German court ruling against infant circumcision).
3. Do new Global Festive Events (Socker Cup, Love Parades and Carneval of Cultures) lead to new regional, national or global identities and community feelings? Example: When Tourist Routes replace Pilgrimages (excerpts from documentary by Dennis O'Rourke, "Cannibal Tours"; see also 6.3).
Unit 2 Social Components: The Creation of Collective Identity
Key Question: Which functions can ritual play for communal life and how are cultural "rules " (or conventions) imprinted" in bodies?
1.The social functions of ritual as process and performance. Showing of an ethnological documentary ("Waiting for Harry" from Aboriginal Australia), incorporating everyday life into a ritual frame.
2.The three stages of the "ritual process", including the notion of "liminality" as necessary component. The discussion will turn to the power of ritual to renew communal life and foster solidarity (excerpts from Japanese Butoh Performances expressing the state of humans as intertwining the natural and the cultural).
3. Comparison of initiations into groups of gender or social class (new educational methods of using rituals for crime prevention among youth or to strengthen gender-identities; film clips from "Wilderness School" in the US and the TV docu-play "The strictest parents of the world". The notion of painful bodily inscriptions of "rules" (excerpts from performances by Orlan and Yoko Ono).
Unit 3 Rituals of History, Memory and Trauma
Key Question: How do we negotiate collective (and personal) identity in performing the past?
1. The creation of historical memory through new ritual forms (Foundation Days, Independence Day Parades, Memory Parks or Architecture). Photo section on various ritual venues: Christian Church Architecture and Shinto Shrines.
2. Bodily inscribing collective identity as well as memories and traumata (excerpts of a performance by Marina Abramovic).
3.Visit to Berlin Holocaust Memorial with observation of ritual space and visitors (see Unit 5 date for hand-in of paper on this as midterm-exam).
Unit 4 Rituals of Sacrifice and their Performative Re-creation
Key Question: What means authenticity in ritual and theatre?
1. The exemplary character of sacrificial rites as gift-exchange between humanity and the non-human realm.
2.The three sacrificial orders in ancient Greek mythic narrative, in ritual events and staged tragedies: the citizen's rituals, the Dionysian rituals and the Pythagorean forms (excerpts from Schechner's "Dionysos 69"). Sacrifice as compulsory excess and wasteful consumption like a "potlatch".
3. Excerpts from "Sacre du Printemps" ("Rites of Spring" by Stravinsky) in the original Russian version and the version of Pina Bausch (see also 1.2 and 2.1).
Unit 5 As Midterm Exam: Hand-in of a short paper on the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin
Rituals and Public Displays of Power
Key Question: How does power use multi –sensorial means to achieve an a-(e-)ffective impact on the public?
1. Power and aesthetics at the court of Louis XIV; comparison to Balinese court-theatre (film excerpts on the ritual of the French court). The affective side of performative acts with emphasis on the sensual experience of music .
2.Discussion on the conjunction of ritual and theatre: the power of performance in modern political rituals (the creation of global icons such as Martin Luther King, Malcolm X or Che Guevara, among others).
3. Question: Can rituals ever fail? (Excerpts from a film on the public suicide by the Japanese novelist Yukio Mishima).
Unit 6 Rituals of Subversion of Power: Ritual and Theatrical Figures of the Comic and the Marginal
Key Question: Can ritual or theatrical performances bring about concrete social change?
1. Discussion on braking taboos in "sacred" ritual and in modern theatrical productions (excerpts from musicals like "Hair" or "Jesus Christ Superstar").
2. The subversion of normal reality and of status positions of power through ritual clowns("tricksters")/fools/jesters and other figures of "comedy". Examples from North American Myths, African rituals, Classical Greek comedies, Italian cinema and Japanese folk rituals as forms of "ritual rebellion".
3. The performance by Coco Fusco ("Couple in the Cage") as paradigm for performing encounters with "Otherness"(see also 1.3).
Unit 7 Full-day excursion to Berlin "sites of ritual"
Unit 8 Final Exam

Privatisation of the Intellect
So, are comments on student work also notes to self?
I wonder if there is a not a deeper impasse here in the idea that university ideal might still be construed as an institutionalised vehicle for more or less organised social mobility – intentional or not. Does the class composition of the, globally distributed, production processes of capital indicate significant success for this mobility model, or is the density of this composition to be evaluated differently now – with vast sections of the international theatre of production shrouded still (unless a building collapse of a sweated labour venue directs a frisson of attention for a brief spell). Social Centres in Bologna, but grunt level proletarianisation from Naples through to Nanking. This matches up with the claim that we can acknowledge a tendency for the imbrication of intellectuals and power to replace the perception/fantasy of some separate, prophylactic, independence for intellectual life. Such an acknowledgment can be called privatisation too.

Ken Wark - A (Post) Situationist, (Pre) Situationist Aesthetics
A talk by Professor McKenzie Wark of the New School for Social Research, NYC
McKenzie Wark
The New School for Social Research
There can of course be no such thing as a Situationist aesthetics, there can only be one that anticipates the realization and overcoming of the aesthetic into everyday life. Hence our topic is necessarily Pre-Situationist aesthetics. The particular examples I want to talk about are Debord's films of the 70s: Society of the Spectacle and Refutation of All Judgements. Based on interviews with Debord's film editor, I will talk about the process by which these films were made, but also how they are something more than theory texts illustrated with détourned images. There's a critical logic to the editing as well. These films were of course made after the dissolution of the Situationist International, and so in that sense are post-Situationist.

Convoys Wharf
For some time I've been collecting material on housing locally. Time to start sorting through it all. And as its been a while since I started a new topic/category on this blog, there is now one called 'regeneration'. This is linked to my port research. Here is a recent piece from the Deptford is… blog as a starter. Click the link at the bottom to read on:

Convoys Wharf plans: 'everything that is wrong with our property industry'.
An opinion piece in the property industry weekly Estates Gazette has given an excoriating assessment of the new Farrell masterplan for Convoys Wharf. The column was written by Paula Hirst, head of regeneration at Mazars (and incidentally also one of hopefuls competing to be chosen as prospective parliamentary candidate for the Lewisham Deptford seat).
As the introduction to the article explains, Hirst 'offers her thoughts on a scheme which seems to hark back to the 80s…'
Thursday's London Evening Standard heralded "a £1bn vision to transform Deptford", announcing a new scheme on the Thames-fronted Convoys Wharf site by Sir Terry Farrell.
With a plan to "turn the rundown riverside neighbourhood into a thriving 'Shoreditch of south London'", the scheme proposals are to include 3,500 homes, shops, restaurants and a primary school, alongside three new parks. Oh, and three high-rise towers of up to 48 storeys (yes, you did read that right), with luxury apartments at the top.Read more here.

Mrinal Sen 90
Mrinal Sen is 90 today (May 14 2013) and all the best to him. I would argue that he is the greatest living film director, bare none.This YouTube page has some films by and on Sen: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%22Mrinal+Sen%22&oq=%22Mrinal+Sen%22&gs_l=youtube.3…2259.6576.0.9023.12.11.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0…0.0…1ac.1.11.youtube. (Thanks Abhijit). I will screen a number of Sen films – especially the Maoist period Calcutta films – Interview, Calcutta 71 and Padatik – in the monday night film screening slot in Autumn term at Goldsmiths. He gave Amitabh B his first break, he made Shabana A an actress, he showed Louis M the way round the city, and more and more. Come along to the screenings – check the what's on back here or the Goldsmiths Centre for Cultural Studies events calendar for info in late September (it will also be a course for credit as part of the new MA Critical Asian Studies, but its open to all comers like other CCS courses).

Ibrahim al-Marashi was the guy whose article was plagiarised from the Middle East Review by Blair and Labour in 2003 to justify the start of the second Iraq war against Saddam. al-Marashi complained about not being cited properly, and one hopes, much else.

Museums no longer smell like death and formaldehyde, but I remember the great Pharlap, stuffed and fascinating in the museum on Lonsdale Street. A publicity still was my most treasured possession when I was about 6. Those yankees poisoned him, or so the story went – captivating for young minds. In the first image he seems too fast to even fit in the frame, they had to encase him in glass forever.

Trinketization thrives
Trinketization thrives on allegorical storytelling, like an old anthropologist telling once again the story of the masquerades seen as a critique of colonial power. Or rather, trinketization would be this allegory if it were enamoured only with the fetish and not something like analogy, symbol, metaphor, synecdoche, hyperbole and irony (hat tip Don Miller).

195 trinketization
"Four shades of red: To honor Karl Marx' 195th birthday, artist Ottmar Hörl set 500 of these sculptures up throughout the philosopher's hometown of Trier, a city in western Germany near the border with Luxembourg. The different shades are reportedly meant to suggest that Marxism can be interpreted in more than one way.
Political artist Ottmar Hörl captured headlines from away from his hometown of Nuremberg in 2009 when he created garden gnomes performing Nazi salutes. And now he's back to making what he hopes will be another controversial statement.
Each miniature sculpture, which stands less than a meter (3.3 feet) tall, portrays Marx in the exact same pose, but in different shades of red. "I want to inspire pedestrians to think about Karl Marx in a different way," Hörl explains while his installation is being set up next to Trier's historic Roman city gate, Porta Nigra, adding that the German philosopher has often been misinterpreted."

Beyonce coming a bit more 'Fierce'
NEW YORK With a new album and two movies on the horizon, it appears the Season of Beyonce has begun.
Then again, one could argue that it's always Beyonce season.
Two years ago, it was all about the release of her second CD, "B'Day" and her starring role in the movie "Dreamgirls." Last year, her "Irreplaceable" was up for a top Grammy and she was on a world tour. And this year, besides a high-profile Grammy performance with Tina Turner, her hush-hush marriage to Jay-Z and appearances on hit remixes with Justin Timberlake and Usher generated headlines.
Though it may have been hard to tell, she actually did take a yearlong hiatus from recording music.
"I think I did need to take a break. I honestly did," she says, sitting on a sleek chair in an even sleeker hotel room during a recent interview. "I needed to take a break even personally so I could relax and appreciate all the things that I worked for."
Of course, Beyonce being Beyonce, her hiatus wasn't a complete vacation: She spent part of that "break" filming her upcoming movie, "Cadillac Records," in which she peels off the glamour to play R&B great Etta James during her drug-addled years.
Beyonce says not only did the role propel an acting breakthrough, it provided a musical one, too.
"I felt like after I played Etta James, and I sang these beautiful, emotional, deep, honest songs, I really learned a lot about myself. And I wanted to make classic music ... to grow and make that transition into legendary," she says.
Her bid at musical immortality comes this week with the release of "I AM ... SASHA FIERCE," her third solo CD, something of a departure from the frenetic funk of her previous two multiplatinum albums, "Dangerously in Love" and "B'Day."
While the new album certainly has its share of club anthems – one of its first singles is the bouncy jam "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" – it is a double-CD with two personalities. The upbeat side is dubbed "SASHA FIERCE" (the namesake of her onstage, divalicious alter ego); the "I AM ..." portion is a ballad-centric pop album that features Beyonce at what her father and manager, Matthew Knowles, calls her most revealing.
"She shows more vulnerability on this record," says Knowles, who with Beyonce acts as executive producer. "That's a natural growth of her age and life experiences."
Though Beyonce is an established veteran after more than a decade in the spotlight (she made her debut along with the rest of the members of Destiny's Child in 1997), the 27-year-old has always been among the more guarded celebrities, staying on message about her music and movies while giving up little about her life outside the spotlight.
She still refuses to divulge much about her private life (other than confirming her marriage to Jay-Z – a breakthrough itself – she declined to speak much about the relationship). But she seems more at ease during interviews, more willing to let the Sasha side of her personality come through. The day after the election of Barack Obama, the giddy singer was in good spirits, wearing a suit in honor of the candidate she supported and laughing often as she talked about politics, music, and her future.

I do have a sense of humor
But I'm not sensing any herein, meaning I think you're being serious.
That being said, I rarely have enough to say that would give me reason to chat, shucks I once said three separate things to my beloved wife in the same week and that about wore me out, I can imagine having to occupy in a chat room for any good reason.
So I read the lengthy list of their crimes:
Conspiracy to commit Confectionary disasters,
Poorly put prose and pugnacious pronouncement of poetry,
Being somewhat thuggish in that they have an overriding sense of worthlessness who's remedy is only achieved in picking on others because they can and must in order to self actualize,
And conniving to artificially inflate the acceptance quota of an otherwise mediocre comment selection.
That's it, we must either ride them out on a rail all tarred and feathered or perhaps we could borrow a FEMA guillotine to make short work of these miscreants....... Of course that does open the door for us to be taken to task for our varrious quarks.......
Gosh, they sound almost human, egads.... And here I though libertarians where the end all be all of self control and self governing..... Or rather that we saw we had such a need and are works under construction, each of us at different points in the journey.

A sharing garden keeps Goshen Farm growing
You may have heard whispers about a haunted house somewhere behind Cape St. Claire Elementary School. If yours is one of the 2,500 families living in the Cape, you probably have. If your children heard the stories, they may have even headed up there for an adventure.
Color chases away winter blues
Mother Nature is busting out. Leaves are unfurling, buds are bursting and grass is growing. Winter is history, and with it dull brown and gray landscapes. Spring has sprung, and its bright greens, sunny yellows and cool purples leave us hungering for more. We want — no, make that need — color. The fever has infected us. There is no escaping it.

On November 5, 2013, New Jersey residents voted to approve an amendment to the New Jersey Constitution that will result in a $1.00 increase in the state's minimum wage rate. As of January 1, 2014, New Jersey's minimum wage rate will increase from $7.25 to $8.25 per hour. The constitutional amendment also ties future minimum wage rate increases to cost-of-living increases, as reflected by the consumer price index. Annually on September 30, the state will review the minimum wage rate and make cost-of-living adjustments, as appropriate.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who was easily reelected on the same day, vetoed legislation in January of this year that would have increased the minimum wage to $8.50 and tied future increases to the consumer price index. In response, the Democratic-controlled state Senate and General Assembly approved a resolution calling for the constitutional amendment. The resolution allowed lawmakers to bypass the Republican governor and take the matter directly to New Jersey voters. The measure passed with 60-percent voter support.
New Jersey is not the only state to link its minimum wage rates to the consumer price index; Colorado, Florida, Nevada and Ohio have all amended their state constitutions to address cost-of-living adjustments to their minimum wage rates. In addition, New York and Connecticut are phasing in increases to their minimum wage rates over the next two years that will result in a $9.00 minimum wage in those states. Washington remains the state with the highest minimum wage rate in the nation with a rate of $9.19 per hour.
