Lesbian Athletes Finally Get Their Own Deals
While the amount of money that gay athletes can command in comparison to straight or closeted athletes is not equal, it is slowly catching up, and being a lesbian is no longer certain death like it once was.
Corporations are slowly becoming more open to gays and lesbians, so the "I can't come out because I won't get endorsements†argument seems weaker and weaker. How could a company support gay employees, but not sponsor a gay athlete? In July 2005, Nike was willing to take heat from conservatives for endorsing a bill supporting same-sex marriage in Oregon, its home state.
Athletes no longer need to rely only on mainstream companies for corporate sponsorships; gay companies are also now emerging to take advantage of the estimated $250 billion gay and lesbian market in the United States, and to sponsor athletes and events. The company that has been the clear leader in this area is Olivia, the lesbian-owned company best known for its lesbian cruises.
Olivia's first sponsorship was for LPGA player Rosie Jones, who came out in March 2004. For the first time, a company supported an athlete coming out rather than dropping them or avoiding them altogether. Although Jones did not have the fame of Navratilova and Swoopes, whom Olivia sponsored after her, she was a good fit for Olivia's social mission. "She would let the people that took an Olivia trip know that you can be gay, a pro athlete and get endorsements,†said Amy Errett, Olivia's CEO.
"Our mission is to transform the lives of lesbians and women,†Errett explained. "Sheryl and Rosie were both going through transitions in their lives, and both have inspiring stories. [Jones] is a very accomplished pro golfer, was a lesbian, and was willing to wear the logo of the gay company.â€
Olivia is used to being groundbreaking, and CEO Errett sees herself as a social mission advocate first. "Olivia started as a recording company, when women weren't being recorded or being taken seriously as musicians,†said Errett. "When the Olivia cruises started, we had to go to a cruise line and convince them to rent a boat to a bunch of lesbians.â€
Signing with Olivia didn't hurt Jones; it helped her. Since joining the company, she has added more sponsorships, including Titelist, which manufactures balls and other golf equipment, and Yes, a brand of putter.
Jones also commentated for several golf tournaments for the Golf Channel this year, a deal the channel offered her after she came out. In an interview with the Advocate, Jones said that she could not have come out publicly 22 years ago when she started playing on tour, because she felt like the administration or the sponsors wouldn't be as accepting of it as they are now.
It was a little more than 10 years ago that Ben Wright, a CBS broadcaster, told a reporter from the Delaware News Journal: "Let's face facts here. Lesbians in the sport hurt women's golf. … They're going to a butch game and that furthers the bad image of the game.†Now, fans can download a desktop wallpaper from LPGA.com with Jones wearing Olivia gear from head to toe.
Kate Bednarski, vice president of brand marketing for Olivia, was previously the global director of Nike's women's division, and has worked in the athletic footwear and apparel industry for 18 years. She has seen how corporate attitudes towards gay and women athletes have changed.
"We had a significant increase in people booking tours after we signed Rosie Jones,†Bednarski said. Jones did not come out in a sports publication, but in an op-ed piece in the New York Times, a paper that is read by all kinds of people, not just golf fans.
Errett said, "When we signed up to endorse Sheryl, she had just been named MVP of the league two weeks before. Sheryl came out because of the endorsement, because she would have to explain her affiliation.†Swoopes was married to Eric Jackson and was pregnant with their child at the time of the Women/Sport cover, but they divorced after she gave birth. In 1998, she met Houston Comets assistant coach Alisa Scott, with whom she is now in a relationship.
Both Swoopes and Jones expressed fears they would be dumped by their other sponsors when they signed with Olivia. After Swoopes' coming-out, Olivia developed the See Red campaign to enable fans to show their support for the basketball star. Street teams of lesbians in a dozen WNBA cities handed out red buttons printed with Swoopes' jersey number, 22, and Olivia's tagline, "Feel Free.â€
"We started the campaign about four months ago,†Bednarski said. "The idea was to — as Sheryl started her first WNBA season after coming out last October — to find a way for fans to show support for Sheryl, and for ending homophobia in sports.â€
Proceeds from the buttons go to the National Center for Lesbian Rights, a nonprofit legal resource organization that has a sports project headed up by Helen Carroll, a former college athletic director and basketball coach. NCLR supports athletes who come out, but is also willing to fight legal battles, if necessary, for athletes who are being harassed due to sexual orientation.

To examine the morphology and motility of the distal small bowel of infants with rotavirus gastroenteritis using non-invasive/non-ionizing imaging technology.Prospective, non-randomized observational study of five infants with symptomatic rotavirus infection. Infants were imaged by real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound within 5 days of onset of gastroenteritis symptoms. Imaging studies were repeated in the convalescent period 5 to 9 weeks later.Three of five infants had a significant increase in the ileal wall thickness visualized by ultrasound during acute rotavirus infection compared with convalescence. The number and size of mesenteric lymph nodes visualized by ultrasound appeared similar in the acute and convalescent phases, as did peristaltic activity assessed by MRI.Abdominal ultrasound can detect changes in ileal wall thickness in infants with rotavirus infection. These changes may reflect ileal inflammation elicited by viral infection. Such studies may prove useful in evaluating morphologic response to attenuated rotavirus vaccines.

ROCK icons Status Quo had the Royal International Pavilion bouncing last night as they blasted through a set of their best known hits.
'Quo' have been doing what they do best for nearly 50 years but the an International Eisteddfod audience is not their usual demographic.
But the show went down a storm with loyal fans and first-timers alike.
Such was the seminal band's pulling power their closing night concert was sold out within days – with the sought-after tickets snapped up months ago.
And they showed they can still riff with the best of them as they had the Pavilion audience on their feet and boogieing along to Rockin' all Over the World, Get Down, Whatever You Want, Caroline and all the rest.
The Quo, who opened Live Aid back in 1985, were inspired to play the International Eisteddfod after a meeting with pianist and BBC music guru Jools Holland, who played the closing concert at last year's eisteddfod.
Singer and guitarist Francis Rossi said: "Jools Holland told me he did the eisteddfod this year and what a brilliant place and atmosphere it was. He also explained about the occasion and the event's history. That got my attention.
"When we started out in the '60s we used to look at anyone over 30 and think how they were dead old.
"But like everyone else we have changed and matured with age."
And so have the Quo's fans, as most of the Llangollen audience knew most of their songs by heart and sang along and clapped and chanted through the stirring set.
Rossi formed The Scorpions, which became The Spectres, with fellow schoolboy Alan Lancaster way back in 1962 and they have played more than 6,500 live shows to a combined audience estimated at well over 25 million.
After a number of line-up changes they became The Status Quo in 1967, although they dropped 'The' to become simply Status Quo two years later.
And after they wowed yet another crowd and left them chanting for more last night, their climactic finale was matched by another – the traditional firework display which lit up the Llangollen sky to bring the week-long cultural feast to an end.

Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, August 12, 1985, Page 12
Facts For Your Files: A Chronology of U.S.-Middle East Relations
July 1:
Israeli Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin announced that Israel would release within 48 hours some 300 of the 735 Lebanese prisoners held in the Atlit prison near Haifa. Israeli officials said the announcement, made less than 24 hours after the end of the ordeal of TWA Flight 847, was not linked to the hijacking.
July 1:
The U.S. Government announced that it is taking steps to close down Beirut International Airport, including termination of all services of Lebanon's Middle East Airlines between Beirut and New York as well as those of Lebanese and American cargo carriers that use Beirut Airport. Ambassador to the U.S. Abdallah Bouhabib protested that the action would damage the Lebanese people and government, but would not hurt the terrorists.
July 5:
An Arab delegation met with Richard W. Murphy, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern and South Asian affairs, to protest American actions aimed at closing Beirut International Airport. Led by the Kuwaiti Ambassador, Saud al-Sabah, the dean of the Arab diplomatic corps, and including Lebanese Ambassador Abdallah Bouhabib and Arab League Ambassador Clovis Maksoud, the delegation asked the State Department to reconsider what Arabs view as unwarranted actions being enacted against Lebanon. In a letter to UN Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar, the Lebanese government protested that "the American response is not proportionate to the damage caused and does not punish the true perpetrators."
July 8:
In an address to the American Bar Association, President Reagan characterized Iran, Libya, North Korea, Cuba and Nicaragua as a "confederation of terrorist states" guilty of "outright acts of war" against the United States. The President stated that "we must act against the criminal menace of terrorism with the full weight of the law..." and declared that acts of recent weeks were "the work of a confederation of terrorist states.
Mr. Reagan omitted Syria from the list, even though a State Department list of states allegedly supporting terrorism includes Syria.
July 10:
A spokesman for Iran's Foreign Ministry said remarks by President Reagan characterizing Iran as a terrorist state were designed "to justify present and future aggression." In a speech quoted by the Iranian news agency IRNA, the spokesman said "the United States itself is the perpetrator of the biggest acts of state terrorism in the world."
July 14:
Secretary of state George Shultz confirmed reports that the Administration had received from Jordan the names of Palestinians proposed for inclusion in a joint Palestinian-Jordanian delegation to meet with U.S. officials, in an effort to commence Middle East peace talks.
July 17:
After receiving from the U.S. a list of proposed members of a joint Palestinian-Jordanian delegation to participate in Mideast peace negotiations, Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres declared that the composition of the delegation was unacceptable.
July 23:
Reversing an earlier statement, Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres said that two of seven Palestinians proposed for a joint Jordanian-Palestinian delegation to meet with the U.S. in preliminary peace talks were acceptable to Israel. Sources close to the Prime Minister said that the two men were Hanna Seniora, editor of Al Fajr newspaper in East Jerusalem, and Faiz Abu Rahmeh, a Gaza Strip lawyer.
July 25:
Ten of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries' 13 members, meeting in Geneva in accordance with an agreement made at the conclusion of failed talks earlier in the month, agreed to adopt minor price cuts on the cartel's current oil prices. The measure will reduce the price of heavy crude 50 cents to $26.00, and medium crude by 20 cents, to $27.20 a barrel, while leaving high-quality light crudes unchanged. The measure did not meet with complete agreement, however, as Libya, Iran, and Algeria publicly opposed such price reductions.
July 31:
During a White House meeting with National Security Affairs Advisor Robert C. McFarlane, relatives of four of the seven Americans believed being held hostage in Lebanon appealed to the Administration to initiate direct dialogue with their captors. Speaking on behalf of the group, John Jenco, nephew of the Reverend Lawrence Martin Jenco, said, "we welcome the continuation of quiet diplomacy, but feel it can be supplemented with additional actions."

Maher also extols the virtues of flip-flopping in a wide-ranging conversation with TheWrap's Sharon Waxman
Bill Maher has always been straightforward — including about why he's not the guy who wins Emmy Awards.
"If you're really gonna be the brave one, you're not going to win the awards," Maher said Monday night at TheWrap's Media Leadership Conference, The Grill. "Pissing people off has a lot to do with losing."
The host of "Real Time With Bill Maher" — which has been nominated for 10 variety series Emmy Awards without winning — made it clear that his unapologetically lefty and anti-religious leanings were the reason he's become essentially the Susan Lucci of cable political discourse (including "Politically Incorrect," he's garnered 32 unconverted nominations).
"Look, lots of people hate it when you're anti-religion in a religious country," said Maher, who lost this year to "The Colbert Report," after a decade of suffering wins by Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show."
Also read: Emmys: Forget Susan Lucci – Bill Maher Is the Winningest Loser
Before the Emmys became a topic, Maher and TheWrap's editor-in-chief Sharon Waxman's spirited sparring at the conference keynote Monday night focused on evolution — not the Creationism-vs.-science kind he's fond of debating, but the idea that it's a good thing to change your mind when the evidence compels it.
Maher defended Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, who was painted by GOP opponents as a notorious flip-flopper during the 2004 campaign.
"He wasn't flip-flopping on the Viet Cong, I'll tell you that," Maher said, while praising Obama for a recent change of heart.
"Obama just did it with Syria," he said. "He changed his mind. I'm glad he did. He changed because Syria put something on the table that wasn't there before. Isn't that a better outcome?"
While conference attendees finished up dinners of tender beef loin and asparagus, Waxman and Maher chewed the fat on the outdoor stage, touching on a range of topics that largely centered on their most intensely shared interest — politics.
Waxman solicited an honest assessment of President Obama from Maher, who — in the discussion's spirit of nuance — offered both praise and criticism of the second-term president.
"Well, he can't do everything at once," Maher said. "He came into office with the worst economy since FDR and the Great Depression … it wasn't just a bad economy, it was a tire fire. Bush left a flaming pile of dogshit on the White House steps."
On the other hand, Maher lamented Obama's continuation of "the drug war, and he's been keeping up Bush's War on Terror."
But he mostly stayed the lefty course.
"He's dealt with a level of hate and disrespect that no president has ever had to deal with. And I'd (support his election) again, with the money." Maher famously donated $1 million to Obama's last campaign.
Though the talk was largely political, Maher said he's "always been a comedian first," and if his Beltway sensibilities ever crashed and burned, "I'll still be able to work the road like I do now."
To tease out the comedy, Waxman couldn't resist a rapid-fire round of topics, letting Maher riff on one word at a time:
Drugs: "I like them"
Porn: "I've never looked at a porn site on a computer."
Children: "I've never had that chip in me that wanted children, but … I know a lot of Hollywood players who never wanted to settle down — but want children. They found a way to do both."
Given the topic, Waxman naturally asked Maher whether he'd consider a run for office.
"Never. I'd never get elected," Maher said, stressing that he'd be the only atheist in Congress, despite the fact that irreligious people are among the fastest-growing group in the U.S. — including pal Billy Crystal.
"Billy Crystal said to me, 'How can I believe in God?'" Maher said. "Can you imagine that? Billy Crystal, an atheist?"
But beyond his unelectability, Maher said he wouldn't want the job.
"First of all, you gotta get up in the morning, and people are scrutinizing you more than in show business … it's just never gonna happen."
Asked if he'd still be in television 10 years from now, Maher demurred — noting that even Johnny Carson was pushed out at 67 years old, and at the height of his career.
"At some point," he said, "the audience gets sick of you."

Well, we complained too long about winter, that it was not leaving soon enough. Now summer is here for good, but the sunshine and warm days are better than the cold ones. Everyone is excited about summer this time of the year--vacation plans, camps, swimming and riding bikes. It's a fun time, especially for school kids and teachers who are glad for a break. Students don't realize that it's really the teachers who are ready for school to be out! That's the only thing I miss about teaching school--summers off! Here's a great summertime recipe thats cool and quick and easy to make.

- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- Place chicken in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish; top with cheese. In a small bowl, combine soup and wine; spoon over cheese.
- In a small bowl, combine croutons and butter; sprinkle over soup. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45-55 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170°. Yield: 6 servings.

"I would make this again as it had good flavor, but will mix the stuffing mix with the soup and wine before putting it over the cheese as it came out somewhat dry."
Reviewed Jan. 1, 2013
"I didn't have cream of chicken so I tried cream of celery and I only used 2 tsp of butter. This recipe was quick & easy but the chicken didn't stand out at all and it seemed the croutons were the star of this dish and I don't think cream of chicken would wow me over. Thanks."

NHC watching system off East Coast
Updated On: Jun 29 2014 05:24:05 PM EDT
The Weather Authority is watching a disorganized area of low pressure centered 230 miles east of St. Augustine. As of 2 p.m. Sunday, the National Hurricane Center placed a 60 percent chance on it developing into a more organized tropical system over then next 48 hours, and n 80 percent chance over the next five days.
The National Hurricane Center is continuing to update their forecasts as the low drifts southward, with no forward momentum of its own. Forecasters said the system is gradually becoming better organized as it drifts to the south and southwest. Although upper-level winds are only marginally favorable for development, it is expected to become a tropical depression over the next day or two. Conditions will become more favorable by late Tuesday.
The NHC canceled Sunday's reconnaissance flight into the disturbance, but does plan to send a Hurricane Hunter aircraft into the system on Monday.
If the system does develop, it would most likely only impact our seas and coastal forecast. The risk of rip currents was increased to moderate on Sunday with winds from the north and seas will increase to 3 to 5 feet on Monday.
While forecast models aren't in agreement, there is some agreement that the storm will begin moving north as it strengthens as it becomes the first Atlantic tropical storm of the season and be a rainmaker for the East Coast from North Carolina to New England for the Fourth of July.
We will closely monitor the low pressure system and provide updates as new information becomes available.

More than 950 civilian employees furloughed as a result of the U.S. Government shutdown will be recalled back to duty, effective Monday morning. The workers went on furlough on October 1.
"Having more than two-thirds of our employees not here to support the Air Force's Academy mission to produce lieutenants for our Air Force and our Nation has been tremendously disruptive," said Lt. Gen. Michelle D. Johnson, Academy Superintendent, in a press release. "While the progress to bring back more than 950 people is encouraging, our thoughts go out to our teammates who are still at home without pay. We look forward to the day all of our hard working civilians are back on the job."

ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
Aug 16, 2010 GMTMeeGo Community Manager Dawn Foster helps you catch up with the MeeGo project in her post on the Linux Foundation site: MeeGo: Where Are We Now? Her article provides background and explains what challenges have been overcome since the project was announced in February. Dawn also explains ways you can help contribute to the project with bug patches, documentation, application development, and more.
Aug 16, 2010 GMTWhen I grow up, I want to take notes as well as Máirín Duffy does. Check out her great writeup of the talks she attended at last week's LinuxCon event in Boston: http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/08/16/mini-education-summit-linuxcon-boston-2010/
Aug 11, 2010 GMTI just stopped by the Intel booth at LinuxCon and got my first hands-on look at the MeeGo platform. While I was there, I also spoke with Intel's Amy Leeland and MeeGo Community Manager Dawn Foster. Amy told me that the call for proposals is open until August 23rd. According to the conference site, event organizers are looking for topics in the area of hardware support; platform development; app development; and MeeGo project, process, and progress. The site also says, "But we also welcome submissions on any other MeeGo related topics. Be creative, the program committee will look at each and every one to create a vibrant and...
Aug 06, 2010 GMTLisa Hoover wrote a cool piece over on OStatic about an open source project that's working toward bringing back the Holga camera.

His open source project, Holga D, aims to crowdsource the development of a second-generation Holga that uses today's digital technology to pick up where the old design left off."
Jul 28, 2010 GMTThis year's Community Leadership Summit seemed to have a lower turn-out and energy level, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a great event. I'm sure other attendees will tell you that they got a lot out of the unconference sessions at CLS, and last year I said the same thing. This year, however, I focused more on the hallway track because CLS is a nice calm before the storm of OSCON. I got to see some familiar faces, such as Google's Cat Allman and Ellen Ko, Prentice Hall's Debra Williams Cauley, and Open Source Bridge's Selena Deckelmann, and I'm fortunate to have made some new friends, such as Jennifer Redman, Sherri Montgomery, and Christie Koehler. At OSCON I saw more familiar faces,...
Jul 13, 2010 GMTLast week I read an article that suggested women are less likely to mentor other women in business. The article made me think about mentoring in Linux and open source. I emailed a few of my friends in open source, both male and female, and asked them: Which mentors/mentorships/programs/events in FLOSS have inspired you? Which ones do you think are great success stories (help inspire/encourage women)? (You can read more about their responses in our September issue of Linux Pro [#118], which goes to the printer today.)In short, I found that organized mentoring in our field is lacking. There are many smaller groups that help people network, such as LinuxChix and Systers.org, but few efforts...

Olsen: Welcome to my diary
Ben Olsen, a seven-year veteran midfielder for D.C. United, shares his thoughts once a week on the latest United match, soccer overall and anything else on his mind. His diary appears each week on www.dcunited.com.
As part of the redesign of the D.C. United website, I have been asked to contribute a weekly diary that can give you, the D.C. United supporter, an inside look at what's happening at RFK. I've always felt a special bond with our fans, so I'm excited to have this opportunity and I hope it will be informative and fun for you to read. Now, let's get down to business.
The season so far has been really exciting. The Freddy factor brought a lot of media hype, but I think we're past that now. The biggest difference between this team and the teams of the past couple of years, in my opinion, is that there's a completely different feeling around us now. We're playing in a different style and we're acting differently on and off the field. We may not have the best record in town right now, but I think we're as talented as anybody else out there. When you combine that with our work ethic and solid play, I think we're going to shoot for the stars.
We've got a lot of young players on our squad and they've been doing really well. These guys are like sponges; they just soak up everything that's going on around them. People have been saying I've got more of a leadership role this year, but it's not really any different than it has ever been. I'm more the type of person to lead by doing. If a young kid can look up to me and see me working hard and setting an example, I think that's the best type of teaching I can do.
We've still only won one game this year, and we've had some frustrating results. I was disgusted after last week's game that we didn't come away with three points. It was a really difficult pill to swallow because I thought for the first time this year we really had put together a solid 90 minutes. Unfortunately, we didn't convert enough chances and we paid for it at the end.
But at the same time, we're not the kind of team to dwell on it and we've moved on. We've been training hard this week to get ready for a tough game against Kansas City.They've got some real weapons and they've done well so far. We play similar attacking styles, and they are very fast and organized. I think we've got our hands full this weekend, but I'm expecting to win. I go into every game expecting to win and our team as a whole is the same way. Maybe we got away from that some in the past couple of years, but this season we all have faith in each other and expect to be successful.
We have a job to do on Saturday and we need to earn three points for ourselves and for you, the fans. You've stuck with us through some hard times, so I know we can count on your support. Hopefully we'll get the win and a thrust that can send us back to the glory days. That can only happen one game at a time, and we're ready to work on Saturday and get moving in the right direction.
Hope to see you all at RFK on Saturday, and I'll be back with more next week.
-Ben Olsen, #14
Editor's note: A unique Ben Olsen jersey, which was turned into a work of art by Olsen himself using markers and paints, is up for auction on eBay. Proceeds go to United for D.C., the charitable arm of D.C. United.

Rachel Kirby is a computer genius whose personal life is hell. While she continues to climb the corporate ranks, her beloved twin sister is plagued by a chronic illness that will eventually kill her, leaving Rachel all alone.
Serendipity in the form of a mysterious email lands in Rachel's lap one day, but not without a price. Thousands of miles away, archeologist John Tanek sits trapped inside a collapsed Egyptian tomb with a functioning laptop. He knows that Rachel is the only person who can help him, but time is quickly running out. It turns out the collapse was no accident. John has discovered something very valuable in that tomb, something that humankind has been searching for throughout history, something that Rachel could use as it may hold the key to her sister's cure. While Rachel orchestrates his rescue, she soon finds herself trapped in a dangerous web of deceit and murder. Can she put her trust in John Tanek? She'd do anything to save her sister. Will they both live long enough to unravel the ancient mystery they've found inside the tomb?
Be ready for emergencies, including bad weather.

Associated Press
KRANJSKA GORA, Slovenia (AP) -- With the fight for the overall championship tightening up, Marcel Hirscher can lock up the World Cup giant slalom title with a race to spare on Saturday.
The Austrian will take an insurmountable lead in the standings if he wins on the Podkoren course in his first race since the Sochi Games. Hirscher currently holds a 95-point lead over Alexis Pinturault, while Olympic and world GS champion Ted Ligety is 100 points back in third.
Even second place would be enough as long as neither the Frenchman nor the American wins the race, but Hirscher said Friday he wasn't expecting to wrap up the GS title before next week's World Cup finals in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.
"These two guys would have to do me a giant favor," said Hirscher, who has been on the podium in all six GS races this season while winning two of them -- in Val d'Isere and Alta Badia.
Hirscher was hit by a stomach bug after returning from Sochi but resumed training this week in Reiteralm, Austria, where Ligety and American teammate Bode Miller were also preparing.
"Physically I am top fit again," Hirscher said. "Mentally I am very motivated for the last couple of weeks."
The soft snow in Reiteralm was similar to the conditions in Kranjska Gora, where temperatures have not been below zero for the last 10 days.
"We all hope that it turns out well," FIS race director Guenter Hujara said Friday. "Conditions may turn into real warm for the second run."
Ligety, who earned his fourth career GS crystal globe last year, has won one race more than Hirscher this season but failed to score points twice after skiing out in Val d'Isere and Adelboden.
Ligety is a five-time winner in the Slovenian resort. With another victory Saturday he would become the first man to win six World Cup races in one discipline at the same venue.
Hirscher also has a slim chance to clinch the slalom title on Sunday -- leading both Germany's Felix Neureuther and Norway's Henrik Kristoffersen by 50 points -- but the Austrian's main goal for the weekend is closing the 77-point gap to overall leader Aksel Lund Svindal.
Last week, Svindal missed the podium in two downhills and a super-G in Kvitfjell, leaving Hirscher within touching distance. Hirscher usually skips speed events, while Svindal sits out slaloms.
"Aksel has put the ball on the penalty spot. My chances are alive," said Hirscher, who turned 25 last Sunday.
Hirscher is chasing his third straight overall title and would become the first Austrian to achieve the feat. Only Italy's Gustav Thoeni (1971-73), Sweden's Ingemar Stenmark (1976-78) and American Phil Mahre (1981-83) have done it.
"A third big globe in a row? That would be a dream," Hirscher said. "When I perform like what I am capable of right now, this dream can come true. To be the first Austrian to get the chance for a third straight victory makes me proud."
Hirscher missed out on a medal in the Olympic GS race and was edged by fellow Austrian Mario Matt for slalom gold last month, but winning another overall World Cup would make up for that.
"Success at the Olympics is a snap-shot," Hirscher said. "The overall World Cup will be won by the best ski racer of the entire winter. That's a different category."

The Dow has dropped more than 500 points, erasing all of the years gains. Concerns about the American economy continue to plague the markets.
Traders blame the sluggish economy and high unemployment. But traders don't expect to see much of change when the Labor Department releases its monthly job report Friday. The last two reports have seen the nation's unemployment numbers rise to 9.2 percent.That has many investors worried the U-S may head back into a recession. Stocks have dropped for nine of the past 10 trading sessions.
Traders had hoped Wall Street would be more upbeat once Washington agreed to raise the debt ceiling. Add to that, volatility in the global market. European stocks have continued to slide over concerns that Italy and Spain may need bailouts from the European union.
While consumers are cutting back on spending, several retailers, enjoying robust back to school sales, walked away from Thursday's turmoil unscathed.Stores including Target and Macy's beat Wall Street estimates, but few expect that momentum to continue. Wall Street could be in for another slide when the latest job numbers are released tomorrow.

"Francine" is an example of the kind of film I'm likely to respond strongly to, while at the same time knowing many readers will disagree. The more I describe it, the less attractive it may seem. Gene Siskel often told me lots of his favorite films were about how realistic characters live their lives. Yes.
Here is a portrait of a damaged, limited woman who is probably mentally ill, although that isn't obvious to everyone she meets. She's one of those people we read about, whose home is overrun by cats and dogs. You don't know that when you meet her working at a discount store, or a stable, or a pet shop. A nice guy even asks her out on a date.
Melissa Leo's sympathetic performance shows her as a loner. As the movie opens, she's being released from prison, her crime and sentence left unmentioned. She moves into a tiny house in a semi-rural area, wanders outside and comes across a scrubby punk band performing at deafening volume at the edge of a parking lot for perhaps two dozen bored teenagers. She begins to dance along, working herself into a frenzy, then abruptly walks away.
She finds a stray cat, feeds it, takes it in. She takes the first of a series of minimum-wage jobs. She finds it difficult to speak audibly or look customers in the eye. She's hired by Ned (Keith Leonard), a recovering alcoholic, to help him as a stable hand. As she gently brushes polo ponies, we notice how much she loves and even pities animals; she seems to identify with them, offering them the consolation she requires.
At home, by small stages, her dog and cat population grows, until she finally just scatters dry pet food on the floor. She doesn't so much caress her animals as cling to them for consolation. On a date with Ned, who sips a Coke, she has too much beer and abandons herself in a wild dance with a woman (Victoria Charkut) from Ned's church. That night, and another time, she engages in casual sex.
There is a fascinating, detailed, sequence during which a veterinarian trains her as an assistant, particularly to handle dying animals as they are put down. She throws herself emotionally into comforting the animals during their last moments. She has no pity for herself, but later when she sees a dog left locked inside a car, she goes frantic. She can't find the owner. She stands near the car desperately waving her arms at the sky in frustration.
This is a first feature from writers and directors Brian M. Cassidy and Melanie Shatzky, who have previously made documentaries together. They like details. They stay in the moment. They allow Francine to speak for herself — or not. Melissa Leo plays her without inflection, giving us no instructions about what our opinion should be. It is a brave performance, an act of empathy with a sad woman.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

text: Norwegian Artist Cooked and Ate His Own Hip, with Mashed Potatoes Print article Send a Tip by Nick Hallett 27 May 2014 post a comment A conceptual artist from Norway cooked his own hipbone "on a whim" and ate the flesh with potatoes and a glass of wine. Alexander Selvik Wengshoel made the claim at the opening of his graduation show, saying that the meat tasted like "wild sheep". English-language news site The Local reports that his hipbone was displayed as part of the exhibition, along with a film of the operation to remove it. Wengshoel said that he initially had difficulty persuading his doctors to allow him to film the hip-replacement operation and then keep his bone. He told The Local: "I just wanted to use it in my art. I didn't know at that time that I would boil it and eat it. But it just came really naturally." "I had to boil off the meat to get to the bone, and when I started scraping off the meat, I took off a little piece and I thought, 'why not do it. It's not every day I will have a piece of human flesh which is mine and which it is possible to eat', so I had a little taste, and then I thought, 'that's really nice'." After tasting the meat, he decided to turn it into a proper meal. "I made myself dinner while my girlfriend was at work, and I just resolved to have this really nice moment, with me and my hipbone." Wengshoel explained that he had been born with a deformed hip and had to spend years on crutches and in a wheelchair. After a series of failed operations, he finally had a metal replacement fitted when he was 21, while he was doing a foundation art course in Oslo. He told the Nordlys newspaper: "When, from the age of three months, you experience them cutting into you and stretching your foot, and then end up stuck in a hospital bed where you are forced to endure pain and medication, then it does something to you in the long term." He said that, after years of pain, eating the bone helped him feel better. He described eating it as a "romantic" experience. "The hipbone had been such a problem for me for over 20 years, and it was just a way of making it better again. It had been so hard to have it in my body, and when I took it out, it turned into something else, something romantic. It was a natural process I felt I had to do to move on." He admits, however, some people at his college took a different view. "Some like it, some understand, some hate it, some get really pissed off and start yelling at me ' this is not art'. It's the whole spectrum of feelings and reactions. "It's nice to get people thinking about their own bodies, and their own view on their bodies, and what it's possible to do with the body. i just work with my own body. That is my canvas."
