At the beginning of last December, I spent an afternoon with a group of ladies – all of whom had come through surgery, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy – on a spa day. Organised by Gloria Halim, the founder of Rock On Divas, this was one of her specially designed days and retreats. Gloria – whose experience of breast cancer led her to leave the corporate world and found the group – describes her spa days as a "blend of indulgent pampering with serious advice on how to get you back to full health, fitness and happiness". The morning was devoted to understanding healthy nutrition – Gloria is a firm believer in juicing and smoothies – and, after lunch, Jennifer Young talked to us about her brand of cosmetics and skin products. Called "Beauty Despite Cancer", they have… Read More

The news that Jacquie Beltrao – the Sky Sports presenter – has been diagnosed with breast cancer aged 48, took me back sixteen years, to the day I heard that my oldest and dearest friend, Jessica, had been diagnosed with the same cancer. She was also 48.
Jessica died the following January. Her body did not take at all kindly to the chemotherapy regime and she succumbed to undetected bronchial pneumonia. Undetected, because the doctor on duty at the hospital – where she had undergone her mastectomy and treatment and to which she returned when she began to feel extremely unwell – was not the one who had treated her. He, clearly, paid scant attention to her notes and sent her home with oral antibiotics for a chest infection. She died the next morning.

Sitting in on a discussion day for Breast Cancer Campaign yesterday, I was astonished at how much detailed work goes into all aspects of a research charity. The Communications Department was kind enough to ask me to speak at its event and, in talking to some of the team, I imbibed the enormous enthusiasm and staggering up-to-the-minute knowledge they all have about their subject.
The Breast Cancer Tissue Bank grows apace, with virtually every person pleased to know that their removed tumour and tissue are being put to such good use. The reputation of the Tissue Bank has spread far and wide and I have even been the recipient of a request to use it from a New York Breast Cancer Research Laboratory. We have Breast Cancer Campaign – with the financial help of Walk the Walk – to… Read More

The Charity Wellbeing of Women – which covers all aspects of women's health – recently hosted an evening of discussion with four ovarian cancer experts.
They were – in no particular order – Professor Sean Kehoe, who is President of the British Gynaecological Society and Chief Investigator for the CHORUS MRC/RCOG trial; Mr. Alan Farthing, a consultant gynaecological surgeon and oncologist; Dr. Sarah Martin, who won the MRC New Investigator award in 2012 to fund her research aimed at identifying new ways of treating cancer by targeting defects in DNA repair; and Dr. Michelle Lockley, the medical lead for ovary cancer at Barts Health NHS Trust. The four were joined by Dominic Nutt, who is Director of Communications for The Saatchi Cancer Initiative.
Questioned by Eve Pollard, the doctors – and Dominic – answered all manner of questions about the… Read More

Ellie Jeffery, the ITN and Sky TV Reporter, died from breast cancer 18 months ago – just a few weeks before she and her fiancé, TV producer, Tom Thostrup, were to be married.
During her illness, Ellie wrote a blog, detailing her experiences of living with secondary breast cancer. It was called Written Off and it was Ellie's intention that, by writing the blog, she would be helping to "make the big 'c' smaller".
Following her death, Tom has launched The Eleanor Rose Foundation in her memory. He says that "Ellie had this great legacy with the blog and I wanted to build on that." The intention of the foundation is to build a network of people and organisations in the UK, who are prepared to offer to those suffering from any form of cancer, respite – in the… Read More

"We still don't understand why some prostate cancers turn out to be harmless – the grass snakes – while others are aggressive – the vipers – and resistant to treatment." This was said by Professor Malcolm Mason, Cancer Research's UK prostate cancer expert based at Cardiff University.
However, medical science moves on apace and at the recently-held Liverpool National Cancer Research Institute Conference, a new test – called Prolaris – was unveiled. Developed by Myriad Genetics and funded by a combination of Cancer Research UK, Queen Mary University of London, The US National Institutes of Health, The Koch Foundation and The Orchid Appeal, it is hoped that this test can spot the difference between aggressive and slow-growing tumours – and so may spare men unnecessary treatment. For those with slow-growing prostate cancer, the only treatment would be "active surveillance."

October draws to an end, leaving in its wake much of the pink residue of Breast Cancer Awareness Month – but not all. Research goes on – and amazing people continue to pursue their aim of raising money for the various cancer centres, charities or support groups who are working to find causes, treatments or to give support to those with this complex series of cancers.
Etienne De Beer cycled 4,200 miles earlier in the year to raise money for The Haven. Supported by his wife, Patricia, who had received huge support from The Haven's therapists, Etienne sacrificed two years of… Read More

While I was writing my last blog post about Maggie's new campaign – Working Beyond Cancer – I heard that a close friend had been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. What, I wondered, had been the reaction of his employer? Thankfully, for my friend, the reaction was one of instantaneous understanding and an offer of help was immediately given.
Clearly, this particular employer does not need to attend the lectures/workshops offered by Maggie's and Unum (the vocational rehabilitation company) to help HR managers to understand the needs of employees diagnosed with cancer – but I can imagine that, for each one who reacts instinctively with empathy, there will be 10 others for whom an understanding of the situation is beyond them.
Particularly for HR teams and companies, knowledge of cancer and its impact on people (and their families) i… Read More
Ask ten people to describe their experience of cancer and you will receive ten different answers. Apart from the obvious shock of the diagnosis – which requires absorbing the medical facts of type, stage, grade, surgery, treatment and prognosis – the "journey" (as it is now described) for each person is influenced by how much support comes from family and friends. Advice on this subject can be found on cancer charity websites or from joining the many support groups. However, the other – and just as important – element in the person's life is his or her job, with which comes a sense of identity. For someone who cannot work after cancer, there is often real grief at losing a job because normality, self-esteem and… Read More
The issue of elderly and infirm housebound people receiving "care" in their homes – the "care" amounting to visits that last only 15 minutes (if that) is not a new one. As the years creep up inexorably on me, it becomes a more pertinent subject.
I remember, distinctly, experiencing a "care package" ten years ago. As dementia raised its ugly head in my mother-in-law, Sheffield Social Services arranged for her to be looked after at home by carers. This sounded the perfect solution and, for some time, I bathed naively in the misunderstanding that this meant she would be helped to wash and dress, given nutritious meals and the necessary medication administered by a nurse.
After a few weeks of the new arrangement, I visited her. To my horror I discovered that I had misunderstood totally the word "care".

Kukla's Korner Hockey
LeBron James Sends Ovechkin a Gift
by Alanah McGinley on 05/01/09 at 02:36 PM ET
Comments (0)
From Mike Zeisberger at Sun Media:
Heading into his upcoming showdown against Sidney Crosby's Pittsburgh Penguins, the NHL's most electrifying superstar is getting the support of NBA royalty.
If Alexander Ovechkin was wondering who might be in his corner in this star-studded second-round showdown between his Washington Capitals and the Penguins, he received his answer this morning courtesy of a gift from LeBron (The King) James.
James, whose CIeveland Cavaliers await the identity of their second-round opponent in the NBA playoffs, sent The Great 8 a personally-signed Cavaliers jersey.
The message?
"To Alexander The Great. Keep Up The Good Work. King James," it said, scrawled across the jersey's white numbers in James's personal handwriting.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson searching for offensive answers
Arizona Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson is trying.
Leading the now second place team, he is doing what he can to get an offense that has produced nine runs in its last five games back on track.
Does he want to add a hitter via a trade? How about give a prospect a chance?
"I don't know, you'd have to talk to K.T. about that," Gibson told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Tuesday.
"K.T." is Kevin Towers, the team's general manager, and if a deal is to be swung he will be the one leading the charge. However, Gibson said he doesn't think the roster needs to change much.
"I think we have the guys in place to have enough offense," he said, adding the team ranks near the top of baseball -- or in the upper half -- in most offensive categories.
The D-backs rank 14th in the baseball with 407 runs scored, are 15th in batting average (.254), 19th in OPS (.702) and 27th in home runs (80).
Down years from some of his outfielders has led to the skipper shuffling his lineup to try and find the right combination between Cody Ross, Jason Kubel, A.J. Pollock, Gerardo Parra and Adam Eaton. Gibson understands how it can be a challenge because it's possible each would perform better if in the lineup on a regular basis.
"I think it works against you a little bit when you're a player because they all expect and want to play every day, yet at the same time they have to be a good teammate and they want to be a good teammate," he said. "There's intriguing things that go on within our lineup and those are things we've got to figure out."
So Gibson and his coaching staff will continue to mix and match, at least until he decides the best course of action is to produce a set lineup and hope that is the panacea for the team's offensive ills.

U.S. municipal-bond issuance will decrease every year to as low as $175 billion in 2017 as rising interest rates and austerity measures curb borrowing, according to Janney Montgomery Scott LLC.
Tampa, Florida's third-most populous city, sold $121 million of tax-exempt water and sewer bonds to refund outstanding debt as municipal issuance drops amid budget cuts by borrowers.
The U.S. municipal-bond market is performing a vanishing act.
The supply slump that's fueling the best run for municipal debt since 2009 is poised to end next year as governments ramp up borrowing for long-delayed projects from water to transportation, Citigroup Inc. predicts.
Investors in U.S. municipal bonds should look back to James Madison's tenure in the White House for guidance on how far tax-exempt interest rates may fall.
The Build America Bonds program, a boon to state and local governments that lapsed last year in the face of Republican opposition in Congress, would be revived under President Barack Obama 's proposed budget.
New York City Municipal Water Finance Authority, which has been granted rate increases of 10 percent or more for four consecutive years, boosted its sale of taxable Build America Bonds 39 percent to $554 million with yields on the debt near the highest in a month.

Review quote
Keys to Good Cooking, is a sort of prequel [to On Food and Cooking]: a primer in kitchen chemistry based on the principle that if you know why something happens, you might have more control over it... Even hopeless cooks will feel ahead of the curve, and are saved from condescension by McGee's calm, reassuring tone. Guardian It's packed with information on subjects as diverse as how to choose the right flour, and how to cook quinces to perfection. One to make you go "ah-ha" Delicious 'All over America, serious cooks have often been heard to utter "TGFM", or its equivalent, 'Thank God for Harold McGee' Vogue He has made the jump from mere author to timeless authority Observer

Will Canada follow U.S. lead on GE salmon?
By SeafoodSource staff
Published on 04 January, 2012
Canada could have trouble keeping genetically engineered salmon out of the food supply if the U.S. government approves the first genetically engineered animal that people can eat.
And according to an internal analysis obtained by Postmedia News, one potential solution is to simply follow the U.S. lead, in order to avoid trade complications.
That would mean allowing the GE fish in the Canadian market.
AquaBounty Technologies, based in Massachusetts, is seeking approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to sell its GE Atlantic salmon, called AquAdvantage, in the United States. But FDA approval could have ramifications for consumers north of the border.
"If the product enters the U.S. market before it is approved to enter the Canadian food supply, it could result in bilateral trade complications. Canadian importers would need to ensure that any salmon or salmon product brought to Canada does not contain illegal GE salmon. Given the complexity of supply chains - particularly for processed foods — this could be difficult," states the Agriculture Canada memo on the commercialization of new technology.
The document, shared with staff in Health Canada's food directorate, was prepared in June 2010 by officials at Agriculture Canada in consultation with staff at the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT).
"Canada could also face complications in foreign markets if it is unable to provide assurance that its supply chain is free of GE salmon," the document states.

Take a moment of stillness to pause and breathe. As we let go and head into a new week, set your intention for mindfulness.
Moment of Quiet
Nondualism and Becoming One with the Universe
The practice of nondual yoga helps us remember as adults what was second nature to us as young babies. Apparently, at around 18 months old, we begin to develop a sense of "self" and "other," but before that time we aren't able to perceive separation. Our cribs, our toys, our parents—it doesn't matter—they're all part […]
A Moment to Breathe
Give yourself this moment to breathe and simply be in the moment. Notice your breath and let it guide your mind to a state of quiet calm.
Meditation and the Art of Inclusive Awareness
Kripalu Yoga teacher Steven Leonard guides us in an inclusive meditation. Notice any tension in your body, as well as any areas of comfort, and breathe without needing to change or alter anything. Allow your mind to find balance in the spaciousness. Allow yourself to simply be—right here, right now.
Moment of Tranquility
It's that time again. Take a moment to pause. Breathe and set your intention for the day.
The Call Within
An excerpt from Tending the Heart Fire: Living in Flow with the Pulse of Life by Shiva Rea The universe began in fire, an explosion so powerful that we are still basking in its radiance. Our very own bodies contain traces of elements that exploded outward to birth our galaxy at the moment of the […]
A Calming Meditation
Get centered in just four minutes. Enjoy this calming meditation with Kripalu faculty member Jennifer Reis.
Moment of Clarity
Take a moment to pause. As we inhale and exhale set your intention for self-care, connection, and clarity.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

SAN ANTONIO - A burglar is in the hospital after he was shot by the owner of the home he was breaking into. t happened in the 100 block of Locknere Lane on the city's Northwest Side just after 2 p.m.
Police said the 48-year-old homeowner was asleep inside when he heard a knock at the door.
He told officers he wasn't expecting anyone, so he didn't rush to answer it, but that's when he heard someone kick the door down.
Police said that's when he grabbed a gun.
"He was able to grab his handgun in the process of the three suspects breaking in the front door into his location," said officer Misty Floyd, San Antonio Police Department. "He was able to fire off several rounds. One of the rounds hit one of the suspects." read more
A Lake Elsinore resident fatally shot a man who was trying to break into his home Sunday night, authorities said.
About 10:45 p.m., a woman called 911 to report a burglary in progress, Riverside County sheriff's officials said in a news release. The woman said a man was trying to force his way into their home in the 100 block of South Torn Ranch Road and that her husband had armed himself with a handgun. read more
If he is completely and legitimately entitled to do this, then why has he been saying to the immigrant groups over the last several years, that he doesn't have the authority to do this? There something like 25 separate times that he has told a group that, under our constitution, he doesn't have the authority to do this. He said if he did, he would be a emperor.
You said liberals are making up the impeachment talk.
"No elected republican is talking impeachment, even though liberals like you would love for them too."
Uh, no he didn't. Elected Republicans.
The Assassination of George W. Bush: A Love Story Paperback January 1, 2007
by Krandall Kraus (Author)
Try making a movie like this about the current president...
Death of a President is a 2006 British high concept political thriller film about the fictional assassination of George W. Bush, the 43rd U.S. President, on 19 October 2007 in Chicago, Illinois.
Neat. 34 million new permanent residents.
I'm sure this is going to really assist the low-income Americans looking for work. Brilliant. What a sellout to Americans.
#1 Yes, I'm being facetious. But if you read the DR enough there is no occasion where those that are anti-gun ever find a reasonable reason to ever use a gun. Even in self-defense.
Great question.
He obviously doesn't live in the real world.
The guy doesn't heed your warning that you're armed, and wants to break down your front door, light him up.
#5 I see that incident has scared you deeply. Did Mitt ever apologize to you? Your hair grew back though..right?
"..influence of individuals such as Thomas Aquinas, John Calvin, William Blackstone, and even Moses on 18th-century republican thought and the American founding."
Learning about Aquinas and Calvin is going to cause kids in Texas to work for slave wages? Drama much?
I suppose their calculators are missing the 'minus' key because the effective corporate tax rate is actually around 15%. Funny how making a point means adding up everything they can think of and calling it the reality.
Libbies on this page do it all the time when you quote us the 90% tax rate from the 1950's...that no one actually paid..
I was probably Sandy Burglar. He stole documents right out the national archives. Shoved them right down his pants..

"Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, 'What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.' Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope."

Happy Holidays!
Thanks to 1 band1 brand for featuring Alabama Chanin this week beside April Smith and the Great Picture Show.
Listen to some great music and check out their site.
Happy Holidays!
Those of you who follow us on Twitter, Facebook and/or Tumblr, know that I was in New Mexico over the holidays. What resulted from this adventure was a love for the west and an understanding of why so many artists and creative types have settled to work there. I was deeply impacted by the beauty, spirit, and (perhaps mostly by) the clear, crisp air. The day my friend Jennifer and I landed we spotted four rainbows. Our friend Jeff wrote that such an unlikely experience is "possibly an indicator of good fortune to come."
My blog post at EcoSalon this Friday is about our trip and the inspiration I found in a woman – long dead – named Mabel Dodge Luhan.
Thanks to EcoSalon for the continuing bi-weekly collaboration – read all of my stories there and make sure you let them know what you like.
"I can't believe that I am doing this." Wait. Laugh. Repeat. These were the words I kept echoing over and over again as I sat at Gate B27 in the Atlanta Airport. My girlfriend, Jennifer Venditti, is sitting across from me, looking like a vision of New York City chic. I stare at her in amazement. We are waiting to board a flight to Albuquerque, New Mexico, with plans to catch up on the last six months of one another's lives.
Thank you to everyone who graciously showed their support for Alabama Chanin over this last week. Your purchases, emails, and love are the things that keep us going. It has been a wonderful (if sometimes difficult) year and we appreciate your incredible show of kindness and loyalty as we move towards the holidays and the end of the year. You make a difference.
Our team is working overtime to fill all of the orders, wrap beautiful packages, and get shipments out in the next days. Let us know if you have any questions or need a helping hand:
Email: office (at) alabamachanin.com or phone us Monday – Friday from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm CST at +1.256.760.1090
We are posting new collection pieces, projects, and products every day… plus, we have a few surprises up our sleeves.
Stay tuned by joining our mailing list,
Rain on the metal roof, Natalie's holiday iPod mix, and scissors through fabric – that's all I can hear. It's a busy day at the studio. Spirits are high, the orders are many, and some of our fabric stock is low.
Apologies to lovers of Burgundy and Blue Slate; we have exhausted our supply of these and a few other color options. There are still plenty of beautiful colors to choose from but supplies are limited; please order early to ensure selection.
Check out our latest post @EcoSalon and join us on our Alabama Chanin Facebook Page today, November 18th, from 12:30 – 1:30 pm CST to chat with Natalie about Design Process + Manufacturing.
Rosanne Cash has become one our favorite clients, friends, and points of inspiration over this last year. (Yes, thank you, it has been a very good year and we have lots of reasons to be thankful.)
It seems that everywhere I turn these days, Rosanne's name is attached to another interesting project. From America: Now and Here (read the NY Times Article about the project ) to Fortune Magazine's Most Powerful Women Summit 2011, Rosanne seems to be singing, writing, and spreading poetry around the globe.
I made a flight to Berlin this year with her book, Composed: A Memoir, and could not put it down. There was a moment in the Berlin airport I was streaming tears, book in hand, and oblivious to the other passengers looking my way. Butch leaned over and said, "You okay?" "Yes," I replied, "it's just SO beautiful."
More on that coming soon…
Today, Nov 17, 2011 (4:30pm CT/5:30pm ET), Rosanne is In The Room with Krista Tippett (who I also adore and follow).
Can't wait to hear it all…
Watch it here or at In The Room:

I love, love, LOVE this clip from the New Dragon Inn that Charty Durrant sent over this morning.
The clip above is from the remake – by Raymond Lee – of a 1960′s classic Kung Fu film.
Her email: "Check out this sequence – the clothing, the sound, the colours… Ahhhhhhhhhhhh."
Thanks for making my morning Charty!
Thanks to everyone who came out last night for our first ever Visiting Artist Series.

text: Don't know if anyone else heard this, but on BB's weekly appearance on the Big Show on EEI, he was pretty effusive in his praise of Chad Jackson. It was about five hours ago and I haven't had a chance to post, so I'll just try and paraphrase...it was something like..."[b/c of missing training camp], his training camp is just coming to an end now. you can see him get better with each practice, it's very exciting (yes, BB used the word exciting) to see him get better and see him on the field. he's working harder every day, he's picking up on things that 4 or 5 weeks ago he wasn't." BB also gave Ty Warren a lot of props as well, but I just wanted to call out the CJ praise since a lot of folks still are still being a little skeptical about him.

Quad Stretch
There are several ways to perform a quad stretch. Below is a picture and description of an alternative to the basic standing quad stretch.
Kneel on the floor with one foot out in front of you. Take a few seconds to get your balance. Reach back and grab your back foot and pull up to get the desired stretch. Hold for 30 seconds. Repeat 2-3 times.

ITB Syndrome
Iliotibial Band Syndrome is pain at the outer part of the knee, thigh or hip. It is usually caused by overuse and it is often seen in runners. Other causes may be from excessive pronation of the foot, tight buttock muscles, poor running form, bowed legs or a leg length discrepancy. If you have pain at the outer part of your leg and it continues with daily activities and running, you need to consult a physical therapist.

First-year Eagle River High competitive cheerleading coach Deborah Pierce reported the Wolves 15-member squad placed second among Anchorage High Schools taking part in the Fall Regionals held at South High Saturday.
Eagle River and Chugiak swimming teams saved their best efforts for last with the Wolves sweeping Bartlett and the Mustang girls putting a healthy scare into Dimond, in the regular season finales held Friday.
Home range advantage provided no solace for the host Chugiak Mustangs Saturday, as the visiting Eagle River Wolves swept the meet, 7-0.
The Chugiak Mustangs varsity football team rode the injured wagon for the last third of the season, affecting their first-round 24-12 loss to the Lathrop Malemutes in Fairbanks Saturday.
With the regular season moving into its final two weeks, local swimming teams are peaking to end-of-season form, with the Mustangs girls and boys teams claiming first in their meet with Bartlett and East, and the Wolves boys team besting South and Dimond in action Friday.
Saving the best for last, more than one division of the Eagle River Panthers Association Pop Warner football program avenged earlier season losses to claim a state title.
In what may have been the season's shortest tri-meet, Eagle River gymnast Elle Adkins took individual honors, and host Chugiak High, the team distinction, during their meet with Bartlett Saturday.
Both local girls high school varsity volleyball teams are undergoing a maturation process, said areawide coaches, with last week's play adding yet another opportunity for growth.
The injury-depleted Chugiak Mustang varsity football team suffered a 10-2 loss to host West in the final regular season game last Friday on the Eagles' new football field.
Statewide coaches were looking for possible snow of the course, and chilled air left snow on the higher elevations yet spared the cross-country running trails, alongside Bartlett High Saturday morning for the appointed State Championships.

Posts tagged: Economic bailout plan
Good morning, Netizens…
The bear isn't buying the deal! With the announcement that the economic stimulus plan is a done deal, the Wall Street bear in this morning's David Horsey cartoon isn't buying any of it. Judging by the fallout dramatic drop on Wall Street the last few days, it may appear to some that is quite probably true.
Depending upon where you hear it, which faction of the political spectrum is talking at the moment (and who isn't talking right now?), the plan put forth by the Democrat majorities of the House and Senate is either a piece of drivel that needs more padding, or on the other hand, needs less. Some say it is nothing more than featherbedding while others say it is absolutely necessary for our economic survival. Perhaps it is easier to blame George W. Bush for our economic problems than it is to solve them.
The real issue appears to be if the world financial community will buy the plan. Right now their financial and stock markets are tanking too.

Fall Writing Workshops
October 20, 2014 by Reader's Connection
Through the month of November, the Indiana Writers Center will be presenting workshops for writers.
Workshops on writing mysteries, on writing speculative fiction, and on just getting started, are scheduled at a number of library branches.
Click on the workshop titles to see the schedules.
This is of course an introduction to writing fiction about murders. Some of the basic tools for constructing a mystery novel will be explored: the genre expectations and boundaries, setting, characters, suspense, opening scenes, plot and pacing. Attendees will be doing some writing.
Have you been thinking about writing for a long time? Would you like to connect with other writers in the Indianapolis area? This class will offer writing exercises, and there will be lively conversation about writing and the writing life.
Oh, no! Your blogger has found another excuse to post his selfie!
Speculative fiction is the genre of possibility. If you'd like to write some variety of horror or fantasy or science fiction or some other spec genre (?), this class will clarify what speculative fiction is, along with world-building and exploring the marketplace.

As the Kings Turn
October 17, 2014 by Reader's Connection
Here's a review from Selector Emily Chandler. I asked Emily if this book could go on this year's gift suggestion list, despite her reservations about it, and she said yes.
I admit, I had never read one of Philippa Gregory's books before now. Surprising, considering how fascinated I am with that period in British history and watching the many film adaptations that have been made from her novels. Indeed, my impulse to pick up The King's Curse stemmed from having seen the Starz film adaptation of her novel The White Queen. The King's Curse is the fourth in that series, spoken in the voice of Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury.
Her connections to the throne were significant. She was niece to kings Edward IV and Richard III; a cousin to Elizabeth of York, wife of Henry VII; a lady-in-waiting to Queen Catherine of Aragon; and a governess to Princess Mary. As such, Margaret often had a front-row seat to the volatile ruling of the Tudors until her untimely end by Henry VIII. As a Plantagenet, Margaret's life under Tudor role constantly hung in the balance, hovering on the fringes of the court's inner circle and heavily dependent on the king's favor. Her story is a prime example of the uncertainty of the time she lived in and how one false step could be a person's last.
Gregory's portrayal of Margaret was fascinating and creates a compelling story. Indeed Gregory's impressive bibliography reflects her attempts to weave the real person into her character as much as she could. As such, the reader can envision that Margaret could at times have been feeling similar thoughts and feelings to those that Gregory associated with her- the anger, the arrogance, the helplessness, the frustration, the sorrow, the fear, at the actions of the throne. There was a rich complexity and pragmatism woven into her character- neither saint nor sinner, resilient yet unbending in her beliefs, arrogant yet compassionate, loyal yet rebellious. The book also shows off Margaret's reputed intelligence, using the resources she had in both good times and bad to survive and stay in the king's favors. Unfortunately, her luck eventually ran out, and she was arrested and executed for treason. But, considering she managed to avoid execution from a blood-thirsty king until she was 67, she was obviously a woman who did her best to live her life and stay off the King's radar as much as possible.
But I digress. In all, this was a compelling and interesting read about the Tudor rule and a satisfying addition to the series. The Tudor rulers are a fascinating lot, and one can appreciate the karmic irony that despite Henry's VIII misogynistic and obsessive machinations for a male heir, his most successful progeny was his second daughter Elizabeth, who became one of the most powerful rulers in British history. The only quibbles I had with this story were with the length. Honestly, it could have much shorter as the middle was uneventful and boring, and did not provide any additional relevance to the story other than an accurate chronology of her life. Moreover, the reader was constantly reminded of two points- that she was a Plantagenet and that her young brother was executed on orders by Henry VII. These reminders were overly used, and eventually eye-rolling. Cutting out some of those references would not have taken anything away from the story.
The King's Curse is also available as a downloadable e-book, and is on order as an audiobook on CD and in large print.

Awards Galore!
October 16, 2014 by Reader's Connection
The winner of the Man Booker Prize and the finalists for the National Book Award have been announced.
The Man Booker Prize, which was open to American authors for the first time this year, has been awarded to Australian novelist Richard Flanagan for his novel The Narrow Road to the Deep North.
From bestselling Australian writer Flanagan comes a supple meditation on memory, trauma, and empathy that is also a sublime war novel. Initially, it is related through the reminiscences of Dorrigo Evans, a 77-year-old surgeon raised in Tasmania whose life has been filtered through two catastrophic events: the illicit love affair he embarked on with Amy Mulvaney, his uncle's wife, as a young recruit in the Australian corps and his WWII capture by the Japanese after the fall of Singapore. Most of the novel recounts Dorrigo's experience as a POW in the Burmese jungle on the "speedo," horrific work sessions on the "Death Railway" that leave most of his friends dead from dysentery, starvation, or violence. While Amy, with the rest of the world, believes him dead, Dorrigo's only respite comes from the friends he tries to keep healthy and sane, fellow sufferers such as Darky Gardiner, Lizard Brancussi, and Rooster MacNiece. Yet it is Dorrigo's Japanese adversary, Major Nakamura, Flanagan's most conflicted and fully realized character, whose view of the war–and struggles with the Emperor's will and his own postwar fate–comes to overshadow Dorrigo's story, especially in the novel's bracing second half. Pellucid, epic, and sincerely touching in its treatment of death, this is a powerful novel. — Publishers Weekly
The Narrow Road to the Deep North is also available as a downloadable e-book and a downloadable audiobook.
National Book Award finalists in the fiction, nonfiction, poetry and young people's literature categories can be viewed at the National Book Award site, where you can also see the longlist titles that got dropped. I'm sad about Spencer Reece's The Road to Emmaus and Nigel Hamilton's The Mantle of Command.
If you click on the Lila cover art, you go to the NPR treatment of the finalists, which is interesting in part because NPR originally goofed up when writing about Marilynne Robinson's fiction, and because the comments about the goof start off with one by Andrew Halberstadt, who may be my nephew Andrew.
Okay, that isn't interesting to you.
The National Book Award winners will be announced on November 19th.

The Ploughmen
October 15, 2014 by Reader's Connection
Sitting in his Montana jail cell, killer John Gload tells deputy Valentine Millimaki how at age fourteen he committed his first murder–killed a woman in her home, walked out, stopped after a while to eat an apple.
"About two miles later I sat down on a railroad berm to catch my breath. It was an interesting moment. By the time I ate that apple, I didn't feel a thing about that woman." He rolled his eyes up to regard Millimaki, his hands still open on his knees in a sort of offertory pose. "Val, I knew right then I'd never in my life have to do a regular day of work again."
Gload is 77 years old, now, and the law has finally caught up with him. Millimaki is low deputy on the totem pole and is stuck with the graveyard shift at the jail, where Gload, for some reason, takes a liking to him. The deputy is a troubled man, himself, with a marriage coming apart, and the two of them form a strange bond.
I'm sure you'll agree that Kim Zupan's The Ploughmen sounds like a wonderful holiday gift. Anyone who likes dark crime novels might enjoy it, but I have to include a WARNING FROM THE SURGEON GENERAL: ANY READER WHO IS ALLERGIC TO OVERWROUGHT PROSE IS LIKELY IS LIKELY TO ENTER A COMA WHILE READING.
The tops of the hills behind the house were softly aflame with scarlet sunset. I grumbled while reading sentences like that, and there are a lot of them. But since reading The Ploughmen I've read a better-behaved crime novel, a "smart, literary mystery," according to its cover blurb; and the characters from that book have already slipped my mind, whereas Gload and Millimaki stay with me.
Have I mentioned the deputy's other low-man duty, searching for missing persons, which leads him on harrowing, poetic quests? I loved the book, despite my grumbling, and may reread it. Let's close with a passage that works for me. Millimaki's wife is a nurse, and he is on his way to a party that he doesn't want to attend.
On the sandy bluff the surgeon's house where he was to meet his wife appeared fortresslike against the dusk, its roofline a complex topography of hips and gables and Dutch hip dormers and a phallic tower with a dome of hammered copper which at that hour beaconed its russet affluence to the working-class homes on the river below. From the hilltop eminence the prefabs and double-wide trailers looked like shoe boxes or children's blocks set haphazardly beside a papier-mâché stream. The department made calls with equal frequency to the homes of the wealthy for spousal abuse and ODed teens and skeletal anorexic wives on the roadway in their teddies strung out and waving handguns at the passing cars. Millimaki had discovered fairly quickly that the problems of the rich were much the same as those of the unrich, though in the savage glare of the booking-room lights their sportswear and excellent dental work made for more attractive photographs.

Tuesday, Oct 28
Hank Phillippi Ryan, author of Truth Be Told
$8.00 / $5.00 for JCC members
Boston Register news reporter Jane Ryland is covering a human interest foreclosure story when she stumbles onto several murders committed in recently foreclosed homes. Investigating further, Jane becomes entangled in one dangerous situation after another. In the meantime, the reporter's clandestine love interest, Boston police detective Jake Brogan, is actively pursuing answers to a 20-year-old unsolved murder. The cold case turns personal as Jake consults case files written by his deceased grandfather, a former police commissioner, to determine if the individual confessing to the crime is truly the killer. As Jane and Jake each gets closer to the truth, they find their lives and their romantic connection precariously hanging in the balance. Danger and intrigue surround them both as they desperately seek closure. The third entry in the "Jane Ryland & Jake Brogan" series packs a powerful punch, and offers a clever mix of mystery, corruption, and romance. Mystery enthusiasts will want to drop everything and binge-read until the mind-boggling conclusion. — Library Journal
Monday, November 3rd
Naomi Schaefer Riley, author of Got Religion?: How Churches, Mosques, and Synagogues Can Bring Young People Back will join with a panel of local religious leaders in a discussion of why young people are dropping out of the religious traditions and how this trend can be reversed.
$8.00 / $5.00 for JCC members
The millennial generation is stuck in a condition called emerging adulthood; that is, these twentysomethings are delaying the traditional markers of growing up, leaving home, becoming financially independent, getting married, and having children. The reasons for this condition are varied–the new technology, the economic downturn that has affected them disproportionately as well as a combination of radical individualism and a general distrust of institutions, and, some believe, the intransigent attitudes of organized religion. One of the primary by-products is low church attendance or little to no religious affiliation among millennials. Unlike other people who have studied this group, though, Riley is more optimistic. In this short but compelling volume, she adopts an ecumenical approach, profiling religious communities–Jewish, Mormon, Catholic, Evangelical, Muslim–with an emphasis on how religions can work together to bring young people back into the fold. Millennials, she insists, are looking for a community with a sense of purpose. A thoughtful and appealing book that addresses an important topic with commonsense solutions. — Booklist
Tuesday, November 4th
Allen Salkin, author of From Scratch : Inside the Food Network
$8.00 / $5.00 for JCC members, BUT you can bring five cans of tomato products for Second Helpings to receive free admission.
The Food Network has risen from obscurity and ridicule in the early '90s to become a powerhouse of cable television, transforming chefs like Emeril Lagasse and Paula Deen into celebrities and changing food culture forever. With a light wit and balanced perspective, Salkin, a former food and media reporter for the New York Times, presents the definitive history of the network from inception to the present day. Food Network devotees will delight at the inside knowledge of internal scandals, the intriguing biographies of their favorite star chefs, and an exclusive look at the ever-shifting lineup of executives and parent companies . . . Salkin moves deftly between periods in the channel's development, garnishing the narrative with frequent quotes from influential personalities to add depth. — Publishers Weekly
Wednesday, November 5th
Peter Eisner, author of The Pope's Last Crusade : How an American Jesuit Helped Pope Pius XI's Campaign to Stop Hitler
$8.00 / $5.00 JCC members
Notwithstanding the spate of current works on the tragic shortcomings of Pius XII during World War II, journalist and producer Eisner refocuses the spotlight in this relevant study on his predecessor, who did speak out against anti-Semitism and the threat of Nazism–though he was silenced by an untimely death in 1939. Pius XI . . . had been deeply moved by an American Jesuit priest's 1937 book Interracial Justice, about his work among poor Maryland blacks, and summoned the author, Rev. John LaFarge, to the Vatican in 1938. In his 80s, Pius XI had a serious heart condition, yet the growing Nazi menace demanded action: The year before, Pius had issued an important encyclical, With Deep Anxiety, slamming the Nazis for racist policies and oppression of Catholics; now, aware he was on death's door, Pius was determined to go further in a new message he urged LaFarge to write swiftly and in secret. Eisner traces LaFarge's work in Paris over the summer of 1938 and his missteps in confiding in the pope's Superior General Ledochowski as a go-between, a shadowy figure who allowed the document to languish while the pope grew more ill. Ledochowski, like the pope's secretary of state Cardinal Pacelli (the future Pius XII), believed that the pope was imbalanced and that communism (and Jews) was the menace, not Nazism. Eisner closes with excerpts from LaFarge's powerful encyclical and the chilling suggestion of what might have been the outcome had it been published. An exciting reminder of how Vatican machinations continue to haunt history. — Kirkus Reviews
Thursday, Nov 6th
Scott Cowen, author of The Inevitable City: The Resurgence of New Orleans and the Future of Urban America
$8.00 / $5.00 JCC members
After Hurricane Katrina, most of Tulane University lay paralyzed and underwater. Cowen, president of Tulane at the time, led a charge to dramatically refashion the university, and the surrounding city, with a mission of social service and responsibility. In forthright and upbeat fashion, Cowan details the development of that mission, and the sometimes-controversial renewal plan he helped steer with civic and business leaders. Facing unprecedented devastation and a shockingly slow and inadequate government response, Cowen and company were forced to make "hard call" that often met with resistance from, among others, members and representatives of an understandably suspicious population of poor, mostly African-American residents. The university soon restructured and mobilized its academic departments, such as the School of Architecture, bringing services and expertise to blighted areas of the city, and encouraging undergraduates (via a new academic requirement) to actively engage neighborhoods through the Center for Public Service. Part memoir, part leadership study, the book offers 10 principles for rebuilding American cities. Given Cowen's central role in the regeneration of New Orleans, this is a bird's-eye view that's sure to appeal to policy makers, activists, and corporate managers. In addition, Cowen acknowledges historical patterns that feed both the city's character and the frictions it faces as a diverse but still unequal society.– Publishers Weekly
Wednesday, Nov 12th
Annabelle Gurwitch, author of I See You Made an Effort : Compliments, Indignities, and Survival Stories from the Edge of 50
$11.00 / $8.00 JCC members (Light refreshments are being served on this "Ladies Night Out," which I think accounts for the higher price.)
Actress and writer Gurwitch offers up a rollicking collection of essays detailing the hazards encountered when a woman approaches 50. Whether she is extrapolating on the symptoms of perimenopause, attending a concert with her teenage son, assessing fashion for older women, or realizing the mistake of Googling "age-related conditions" on the Internet, Gurwitch tackles all of it all with aplomb. Her witty writing allows for deft exploration of even the most sensitive and intimate subjects while still finding the humor in her situation. She admits aging gracefully is best achieved with a bit of help, although it proves to be a zero-sum game with effects that fade quickly. "I've filled, frozen and ultrasounded, all in the name of what is often referred to as maintenance." Gurwitch's essay about becoming a member of the sandwich generation and caring for her aging parents is heartfelt and makes her aware of what the future holds. "This must be another milestone that lies ahead for me: the day when you speak to and of your doctors more frequently than your friends." These essays contain a devilish good dose of fun and more than a dash of agita for those approaching and beyond the half-century mark. — Publishers Weekly
Thursday, November 13th
Rabbi Amy Eilberg, author of From Enemy to Friend : Jewish Wisdom and the Pursuit of Peace, will be joined in conversation by Dr. David M. Craig, Associate Professor of Religious Studies at IUPUI.
$8.00 / $5.00 JCC members
Eilberg, the first woman ordained as a rabbi in Conservative Judaism, has produced a practical guide to fulfillment of the Jewish religious commandment to "pursue peace"–not just for personal piety, but to become an effective peacebuilder in the world. Her work addresses both interpersonal conflict and the process of fostering dialogue between groups with deeply entrenched differences. Eilberg provides insight into the basic causes of division, beginning with biochemically based human reactions to fear, and includes her own understandings on peace and conflict theory. The book draws upon, among others, classical Jewish texts and the theology of later Jewish (e.g., Martin Buber) and non-Jewish religious thinkers. Eilberg also offers a peacemaking discipline according to the principles of Mussar, a system of Jewish moral discipline which began in the 10th century C.E., yielding a personal practice that can prevent, and remedy, animosity between oneself and others. Articulate and accessible to both scholars and laypersons, the book includes a rich account of Eilberg's own experience, building peace between Jews, between Jews and Palestinians, and through interreligious dialogue. — Publishers Weekly

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - An elderly Jacksonville man is dead following a fire that investigators believe was arson.
The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responded to the home around 11 p.m. Tuesday to find it engulfed in flames. Firefighters pulled the man out, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Florida Times-Union (http://goo.gl/484C2 ) reports that authorities weren't immediately identifying the victim, but neighbors and property records identify the home's owner as 83-year-old Robert J. Levey.
When the fire was initially called in, a witness claimed someone was actually setting the fire. Police described him as white male in his late teens or early 20s, 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-7 and about 120 pounds.
Anyone with information on the fire can call police at 904-630-0500.
