Greek tragedy: It's not the end of the underworld
The great Greek tragedies will always resonate, says Sarah Ruhl, writer of a new play based on the myth of Eurydice
Wednesday 05 May 2010
How does one stage or even think about Greek tragedy in the present theatrical moment? In the age of botox, one might argue that the equivalent of Greek masks are actors' faces frozen in expressions of neutrality rather than extreme comedy or tragedy. In this strange digital era, in this era of celebrity masks, how do we approach the old stories, old stories built on one solitary gesture – looking back – which undoes everything?
I wrote Eurydice partly because I was in love with the Greeks and felt that to find my way back into the universality of Orpheus and Eurydice, the story had to be particularised and made contemporary. So that the architecture of the larger myth remained, but inside of the myth, I embedded material that was personal, specific, almost transparent.
I was also interested in giving Eurydice a voice. Hundreds of artists have tried to winnow their way back into the Orpheus story, usually from his point of view. But I'm interested in anyone who dies twice, and what her experience of dying was. And I wondered if Eurydice embodied language, whereas Orpheus embodied music. And I wondered who else she met in the underworld. And I wondered about the stones who were said to cry when they first heard Orpheus's music. I was interested in what happens when the basics of the story become signposts for a terrain that is more unfamiliar.
So, the basics of the story: Eurydice and Orpheus get married. Eurydice dies. (Whether she is bitten by a snake or chased by a deranged shepherd, as in one version.) Orpheus comes down and sings the most beautiful music for the shades until he's permitted entry to the underworld. He takes Eurydice back to earth on one condition – that he not look back. We all know the rest...
And yet, it's possible that many school children don't know the story of Orpheus and Eurydice these days; or won't in 100 years. Will they, then, still experience shivers of reverberation when they see the tale told? Call me a weird Jungian who believes in such strange things as the collective unconscious, but I believe that the big stories will still be recognisable. Even when the old books have become kindles, and the old songs have become ringtones, even when we are buried under some kind of rubble, I have a belief that the old stories will continue to be sung or told.
We seem to live in a culture of appropriation rather than of allusion. I think I'm attracted to myth in the theatre because the cult of the individual seems tired at times; originality often seems like an illusion; and we are bigger together than we are alone.
I'm happy that the play is being done with colour-blind casting in this incarnation. It's an odd thing that when you're an author and happen to be white, suddenly there are usually a bunch of white people in your plays, despite the fact that you're writing plays in which raining elevators ferry the dead to the afterlife, a habitat which isn't particularly suggestive of any kind of ethnicity at all. (I think I was also attracted to the afterlife as a setting because I knew there would be no naturalistic living room sets there.)
I've been thinking lately that Aristotelian structure could use more competition – perhaps what I might call the Ovidian model, in which things turn into other things. Ovid was the master of transformation – gods turning into swans, people turning into trees. Ted Hughes translates the first sentence of Metamorphoses as: "Now I am ready to tell how bodies are changed into different bodies." A dramaturgy based on continual transformation rather than one single climax might also feature a pleasure in the telling of the tale, and a sense of surprise and discovery, one might even say, of magic. Perhaps the age of Harry Potter will also be the age of Ovid.

Remember: Winter can't last forever
The Beech Street playground is burried under snow after the midweek snowstorm in Manchester. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader)
But it may cheer you to know that there are plenty of folks already working hard on the summer activities that make New Hampshire a popular playground for residents and visitors alike.
Winter is actually one of the busiest times for the 8,000-seat concert venue, Harding said, as they book and market shows for the summer season. "Once the shows are booked and put to bed, the actual day of the show is pretty much easy for us," she said.
"We definitely are going to have some rockin' summer nights here."
Freligh said there's a lot to promote: "We've got 18 miles of coastline. ... There's the boardwalk, there's fried dough, concerts, fireworks, strolling along the beach when there's sand and no snow ... .
Summer, Freligh said, is the most popular season for tourism here, with 40 percent of visits and spending.
It's the 25th anniversary of the festival, and McNamara is busy lining up entertainment on the beach and two stages, including a Bon Jovi tribute band, and a hula-hoop contest.
She's yearning for spring so she can enjoy her new Mustang convertible. "I'm dying to put my top down," she said.
There's perhaps no surer sign that spring is coming than word that farmers who sell their produce at farmers' markets across New Hampshire all summer are gearing up for the season.
Reid owns Stone Wall Farm in Nottingham; he also farms tracts in Madbury and Barrington. "Most farmers now are ordering their seeds from the seed companies, and pretty soon, next month, they will start to crank up the heat in their greenhouses and they'll start their onions and leeks."
But Kane said you don't have to wait until summer to have fun at Hampton Beach. "If it's a nice, sunny day, come down and enjoy the beach when no one else is here. It's peaceful - and you can walk your dog off season on a leash."

text: "Engaging our Students in the World Beyond the Village" Texas Southern University has embarked on a new era, one that will seek to diminish the borders that separate the University from the community surrounding it. The Urban Academic Village concept is an innovative approach to creating a community whereby students, faculty, and staff are more involved in the surrounding community and share living, entertainment, work, and study spaces with the surrounding community. This type of approach to coexistence between the University and the community lends itself to multiple opportunities for students to engage in activities or experiences that will enhance their understanding of the world beyond the academic borders of TSU. It is also part of TSU's urban mission that focuses on high-quality teaching, research, and public service to prepare students for leadership roles in urban communities worldwide. Why should service-learning be a part of the QEP? Service-learning is an approach to teaching; whereby, learning objectives from the classroom are experienced or taught through service in the community. The learning is enhanced through the students' reflection on how the experience relates to their didactic work and students' documentation of their discovery of new information about themselves and the community. These experiences often reinforce or add value to students' knowledge, skills, and altruism. Creating opportunities for students to engage in meaningful service-oriented activities on the local, national, and international fronts is an opportunity to prepare students of TSU for the ever-growing diversity in the workplace they will encounter and deliver more culturally sensitive services to patients and customers. Service-learning is a form of community engagement in which students explore or reinforce concepts of social and behavioral aspects of human behavior, communication skills, and research methods. For example, students enrolled in a research methods course might be required to provide a "service" to a local research study of their choice. As students are trained in research recruitment, concepts of research methodology are reinforced. As students go out into the community to recruit subjects, students would acquire 1)skills in communication; 2) an awareness of the factors that influence different groups to participate in research; and 3) an understanding of the different levels of health literacy within and between different groups. Another example might involve math majors' administration of patient satisfaction surveys at a local clinic. Students might be required to build the database for the data as well as enter and analyze the data. Not only would this exercise reinforce the students' statistical skills, but also lend itself to the students' exploration of strategies to improve the delivery of patient care services. Each of these examples also provides the research team and clinic with a much needed resource. What are the key elements of service-learning? Each of the key elements of service-learning yield value added dimensions to the academic training of students. These elements include development of social responsibility among students; exposing students to environments beyond the University and interaction with diverse groups of people in the community; and the development of community partnerships. Service-learning provides opportunities to build a sense of civic responsibility within the students. By performing hours of service in the community, students will develop specific interests in certain populations and issues. It is common for students who participate in these types of activities to pursue additional training or education in careers that focus on social and health policies or services. Another key element is the opportunity for faculty to engage partnerships with community community stakeholders. These partnerships will provide faculty with the potential to develop community and research grants as well as possible publications on the students' experiences. An increase in extramural funding increases the number of paid internships and research positions for students. These partnerships also enhance the University's recruitment of students. Faculty, staff, and students who work with community stakeholders are able to showcase the University's degree programs. They would also be able to identify students in the community who have the potential to excel academically at the University. The community's perception of the University's commitment to creating positive change in the environment is also enhanced, making it less difficult to attract support for intern and employment programs, technology, facilities, etc. Who are the implementation partners? A community advisory board made up of key leaders from the community and designated students, staff, and faculty from the University would develop guidelines that would lead the efforts to recruit organizations and programs that serve the community and meet the needs of the University. Community partners would include local and state government programs, non-profit social service agencies, international programs, hospitals, schools, research centers etc. The number of community partners identified would be determined by the number of hours that students would be required to serve as well as the number of students targeted to participate in the program. Faculty members would be significant to the implementation process. Interested faculty members would be trained in the development and implementation of service-learning programs that complement their course areas or research interests. An office of community engagement could be established on campus to oversee the maintenance of the advisory board, training of faculty, and implementation and assessment of service-learning programs. and asse How would we know if the QEP was successful? If accomplished, we expect that the next seven to ten years would yield a more successful class of graduates who are more altruistic and able to compete globally. The University would experience an increase in the number of graduates who take on leadership roles locally and globally in the establishment of policies and services to address social issues. Items that measure civic involvement and professional achievement could be included on alumni surveys. Within four years of implementation, this plan would accelerate undergraduate students' understanding of the impact of becoming involved in civic duties both locally and abroad and their intent to pursue graduate training in fields that promote social awareness and policy building. Reflective exercises completed by students who participate in service-learning activities would serve as a measure of their awareness. Items related to their understanding of civic engagement and future educational goals could also be added to end of year student surveys.

Discovery of DNA sections responsible for osteoarthritis raises hope of treatment for millions affected by crippling illness
- Breakthrough made by researchers at the University of Newcastle
- Around 8.5million Britons suffer from osteoarthritis
A breakthrough by British scientists could lead to new treatments for the most common form of arthritis.
Researchers have discovered eight sections of our DNA that are responsible for osteoarthritis, the crippling incurable condition that affects millions.
Crucially, they think that at least two or three of these so-called 'genetic regions' could be used to treat the illness.
The research, carried out by scientists at the University of Newcastle, could lead to new treatment for thousands of arthritis sufferers
They all contain genes responsible for the production of cartilage, the tissue between bones that is damaged by osteoarthritis.
The scientists from the University of Newcastle believe that in future they could alter patients' genes to make them produce stronger cartilage, helping to repair the damaged joints.
Around 8.5million Britons suffer from osteoarthritis and it is believed to affect as many as 40 per cent of the over-70s. It causes debilitating joint pain – particularly in the hips and knees – and often leaves patients immobile or unable to walk long distances.
At present there is no cure and patients can only alleviate their symptoms with drugs, physiotherapy or in severe cases through surgery to remove the affected joint.
The study, published in the Lancet, looked at 7,400 patients with osteoarthritis and compared their DNA to 11,000 people without the disease.
The team found eight sections of our DNA that are responsible for osteoarthritis
Although the authors acknowledge that it will be at least five or ten years before they are close to a treatment, they say the findings are an important 'first step'.
Professor John Loughlin, who led the research, said: 'We've identified eight regions of human genomes that increase the risk of the disease.
'We would dearly like to use the information gathered to enable patients' cells to be modified to ensure they make better cartilage. But it's a long way off.
Our results don't enable us to do that at this point and it's not something that anybody who has got the disease now can hope for.
'It's a major breakthrough, the largest study of its kind performed in this world to date.
'We're trying to work out now exactly what these genes are doing and what is going wrong.'
He said it was not possible yet to use their findings to carry out genetic tests to predict who was more at risk from the illness.
Scientists have known for many years that osteoarthritis runs in families. But until now they knew of only three genetic regions that increased the risk of the illness. They have now identified a further eight.
Professor Alan Silman, medical director of Arthritis Research UK, said: 'There is no cure for osteoarthritis yet it affects millions of people around the world.
'For 60 years we have known that you are twice as likely to have osteoarthritis if your parents have the disease, yet we haven't known why.
'Until we understand the cause of this complex disease, we cannot hope to find a cure.
'This is a major breakthrough in our understanding of osteoarthritis which we hope will help us to unlock the genetic basis of the disease.'
Osteoarthritis is notoriously difficult to diagnose, with patients waiting an average of almost three years to be diagnosed and referred for treatment, according to a recent report by Arthritis Care.
The number of Britons suffering from the crippling condition is expected to double over the next 20 years due to the ageing population and higher levels of obesity, reaching 17million by 2030, according to the charity.
A third of sufferers are forced to retire early or substantially reduce the numbers of hours they work, because of the condition.
It is estimated to cost the economy £3.2billion in lost working time.

Back at the hosel by tea time I found that I'd managed to burn both my chest and my back. Good sun tan lotion management there.

I didnt want anythig to do with the logistics of it, so i stayed inside while Jez, Joel and Jenny sorted it out. They rocked up in what was smaller than a mini cooper. Barely enough room for 4 people on their own, but throw in 4 backpacks and day bags and it was a real tight squeeze. After about 20 minutes we finally worked out how to tetris all of our **** ...

Laker fan, but yes he can shoot only when wide open. As for as defense, down low will get man handled. On the perimeter bad feet, and not quick at all. There is the flop which he is great at. Guess you cant teach 7 ft. Great matchup against Durant. My bad Durant doesn't need to be wide open!! Go lakers!

Hook Squat
Try this partner twist to this awesome glute workout. Stand back-to-back with your girl and get into squat position (knees over your ankles). Keeping your backs together, squat down and walk clockwise in a circle. Once you've completed the circle, count to 20 and then walk in a circle counterclockwise. Do 3 sets. You'll constantly have to be supporting and motivating each other. If one person bails, the whole exercise will crumble.
Partner Push-Up
Have one of you get into push-up position (lying on your stomach, elbows bent at 90 degrees and palms on the floor). Have your bestie stand over you and place her hands on your upper back. As you push up, have her create a little resistance on ya by pushing down a lil' bit. Make sure you keep your core tight to get a good ab workout in too. Do as many as you can, and then switch!
Foot-to-Foot Bicycle Crunch
Lie on your back with your legs bent and feet flat on the ground. Be sure to line up toe-to-toe with your partner. Press the soles of your feet against your partners and lift your legs off the ground. Lift your shoulders off the ground (as if you are doing a normal crunch), and pull your right knee in to your chest. Extend your left leg, and bring your left elbow to your right knee. Make sure your partner is doing the same and your feet stay pressed together the entire time. Repeat the opposite side to complete one rep. Try 12! Sure, you can do a bicycle crunch on your own, but pressing against each other's feet will make your abs work harder.
Chest Toss with Medicine Ball
This one seems easy, but trust us, you'll feel it tomorrow. Stand face-to-face with your partner about 6 feet apart. Hold the medicine ball in front of your chest with your elbows bent. Push the medicine ball forward as you toss it to your partner. She'll catch your toss and then toss it back the same way.
Partner Straddle Stretch
It's really important that you stretch at the end of your workout, so why not keep the partner exercises going? Face your partner in a wide-legged straddle position. Be sure that your feet are touching, and hold hands. One of you leans back, while the other leans forward bending at the hips. Hold for 10 seconds, then switch.

I guess I had gotten a little cocky in my "parent of an elementary school kid"-old age; I didn't even bother to attend formal registration this year. This was my 10-year anniversary, after all, of picking up a K-5 school supply list, double checking all my emergency contact numbers, and revising hospital preferences. I surely had the drill down.
My youngest is now a fifth grader, though -- a Randall Elementary "senior." So, it should have also been the final time I'd receive the fateful folder containing the name of my child's teacher for the year.
In the past, that folder had caused some anxiety. Who would end up being, for at least the next nine months, the adult whose influence on my kid would be second only to my husband's and mine? Would we get a super experienced teacher or a newbie? A man (somewhat rare in the elementary school world) or woman?
But this time around, with a veteran mom's swagger, I just phoned it in from vacation to find out in whose room my 10-year-old daughter would land. I assumed it would be one of the two fifth grade teachers my older sons had been with. Her classroom placements had always echoed her brothers' and that had been just fine with me. It never occurred to me anyone would bother to mix things up in our final year of elementary school.
So when I heard long distance that my daughter would have Ms. Wells (all names have been changed) as her teacher this year, I didn't really know what to say. It's not that I had heard anything less than terrific through the omnipresent "Who'd you get?" grapevine (Bravo could easily launch a Real Moms of Randall Elementary series based on teacher placement gossip). But she was still, nonetheless, a name I merely recognized. I wasn't even sure what she looked like.
And, for a second, I got nervous. Not because of "who we got." But, because now -- in my final round of elementary school parenting -- things were changing.
Now, I'm not against change on principle. I switched my major three times in college and have sported no fewer than four different shades on my toenails this summer. But I guess I was really hoping to coast a bit in my daughter's 5th grade year. I wanted to show up to parent/teacher conferences and talk about the good old days. I'd have liked to "pre-know" how spelling tests were graded and what books the class might be tackling in reading groups. I had looked forward to being the seasoned mom who could advise first-time parents in either Mr. McLellan or Ms. Gelles's classrooms on the best way to ensure the year would be a good one.
And therein lay the rub. I had wanted the "known" for my own sake, not for my daughter's. It's not like she'd ever been in fifth grade before. She has no preconceived notions or expectations of what the year should bring. In fact, as far as she's concerned, it's a very good thing she's getting a "new" teacher. For the first time ever, she feels, she can start out the year as some one other than a little sister.
And when I look at it that way, I am comforted that in this instance change can most certainly be good.
And who knows? If all goes well for one elementary school senior and her formerly cocky mom, change may even be great.comments powered by Disqus
Like many parents, I look at the wide world around my kids and do my best to prepare them for life. We talk about working hard, being kind and responsible, Internet safety, stranger danger, and the (gulp) birds and the bees. But what about a topic such as race?
If you're like me, looking around your house in the weeks before Christmas will probably have you convinced that the last thing your kids need to find underneath the tree is a pile of new toys.
I spend a lot of time talking to my kids about how lucky we are to have what we have. Though our house is tiny and our van is unequipped with automatic doors, we have all we could ever need, and a lot of what we want.
On the evening of Nov. 6, a throng of people gathered at Monona Terrace. They were there to attend an impressive anniversary shindig, but the real buzz of excitement centered on the event's guest of honor.
You may call them "play dates," but I like the term "mom dates," especially since my kids are still too young to really care that there's another small person to squabble over toys with.
If there is an excuse for not working out and eating healthy, I have used it: I don't have time. I'm too tired. I'll start tomorrow. I'm no good at this, I give up. I don't know where to start. Yes, I have used all of these and more.
At almost a year old, my kids are in the blissful stage of life where they'll eat nearly anything that I put in front of them (at least as long as it doesn't require much in the way of molar action).
My family recently went through something that we have not experienced in over eight years. We have become a household that no longer harbors a crib or a changing table.
"There really is no wrong way to do it." That's how Madeline, age 13, describes creating artwork. She and her classmates at Prairie View Middle School in Sun Prairie are honing their artistic skills by participating in the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art's Art on Tour program.
I'm having trouble enjoying the season, because I can't keep myself from thinking about the miserable weather that's sure to be following close on the heels of the crisp, pleasant fall we've been having. I am not at all emotionally prepared to be the parent of two toddlers during a Wisconsin winter.
I've always been a supporter of companies that empower women and girls, and when the creator of such a company is a fellow Wisconsinite, I get even more excited. When Melissa Wardy of Janesville got fed up with stereotypes found in clothing for girls, she started her own company.
Do you have a little reader or an aspiring teenaged writer in your house? If so, you may want to venture to the Wisconsin Book Festival this weekend, to whet their appetite for wonderful words as well as your own.
When I was pregnant with my daughter, my husband and I had two names picked out. Upon her arrival we had not yet come to a conclusion on what that name would be. Everyone told us that when we saw her we would just know. We didn't.
At age 10 months, my kids have seen the zoo a lot already. I was a zoology major in college, and I have something of a zoo addiction still, so the twins (and their dad) are more or less condemned to a future rife with zoo visits.
Home-schooling can be a lonely proposition. Even as a college professor, Juliana Hunt remembers struggling to find support to home-school her now-grown daughter. "I was always hoping to find like-minded people who were in the same position as me," she says. "I know that children learn best through a give-and-take, question-and-answer process of teaching and learning, but where do you find mentors who can make that happen?"
After sleep patterns, I think the next biggest parenting concern I have and hear about revolves around the topic of food. How can I make sure my kids are eating enough vegetables? Did I pack them a lunch that is healthy enough? What can I feed them after school that doesn't come from a box? How many gripes am I going to get about the dinner I'm about to prepare?
As far as places to embark on Baby's First Air Travel go, Dane County Regional Airport is a pretty sound choice, especially at 6 p.m. on a Saturday night. My biggest fear was that my nine-month-old son would start screaming in the airport; my second biggest fear was that my son would start screaming and some of my former Epic colleagues would be around to hear it.
The recent shift in the weather is just another sign that autumn is fast approaching. That means one of my favorite activities is just around the corner -- apple picking. My husband and I have been picking apples every fall since before our kids were born.
I have a lot of questions about what to put on my eight-month-olds' plates -- and, if I'm honest, a deep and abiding fear of putting the wrong thing there. Did I start them on solid foods at the right time? What's the deal with baby-led weaning -- how much self-feeding should they be doing? At what age should I give them potential allergens like shellfish or nut products?
Lily the potbellied pig arrived at Heartland Farm Sanctuary blind, lethargic and too overweight to walk. The children of Heartland's summer day camp program took it upon themselves to put the curl back in her tail.

Café Rouge - Knightsbridge
Visitor Information
- Images
- Opening Times
With a combination of delicious food, great wines and a real ambience, Café Rouge has embodied the style and je ne sais quoi of French dining since it opened way back in 1989.
Now with over 90 sites across the country it's just the place to mull over the morning papers with a cafe au lait and a croissant, pop in for a spot of lunch, share a post-work drink or relax over an evening meal.
The menu covers a range of French classics from croques and baguettes, ideal for a quick and easy snack, to more substantial fare such as steak frites and boeuf bourguignon. Likewise, the wines are predominately French; many made by lesser known producers, and provide the perfect accompaniment to the food on offer.
No hassle, no rush, no skinny- decaff-double-shot-to-go, just a vibrant atmosphere that moves with your moods throughout the day.

Did Cavs ruin shot at LeBron?
Cleveland's recent draft disasters could hurt pursuit of King James
In early December 2010, LeBron James returned to Cleveland for the first time since signing with the Miami Heat as a free agent the previous summer. James' new team handed his old one a 118-90 shellacking, part of the early stages of a stretch that saw the Cavaliers lose 36 of their next 37 games. Consider that return the Ghost of LeBron Past.
Tonight's meeting, the first between Cleveland and Miami this season, was supposed to be the Ghost of LeBron Future -- a chance for the Cavaliers to demonstrate to James how far they'd come since then, and potentially even the start of a pitch to bring James back to Cleveland as a free agent next summer. Instead, with the Cavaliers mired in a disappointing 4-10 start to the season that has featured more players-only meetings (1) than wins by double figures (0), it serves as a painful reminder that their rebuilding plan has gone off track. The culprit? The front office's failure to turn a bevy of high draft picks into production on the court.
Over the last three drafts, Cleveland has made a league-high six first-round picks -- two per year, including four selections in the lottery. Twice, the Cavaliers have picked fourth, and in both 2011 and 2013 they landed the No. 1 overall pick. Yet only one of these picks, point guard Kyrie Irving, ranks among Cleveland's top five players in terms of wins above replacement (WARP) this season.

Source: Kate Gosselin Has Blown Through Millions
Kate Gosselin made a small fortune from her reality show and 'Dancing With The Stars,' but insiders tell me most of that money is now gone, leaving Kate worried about her financial future.
"Kate lives like she is a movie star," a friend tells me. "She flies first class and stays at the most expensive hotels and spends money on herself like it's going out of fashion. Remember, this is a woman who once spent $7,000 on a haircut!"
And while Kate keeps living the lifestyle she's become accustomed to, all the lucrative deals she's been trying to put together to earn the cash she needs to keep her in the lap of luxury have all fallen through.
"Kate was hoping to get paid to endorse a bunch of products," a friend tells me. "She thought she would earn millions by advertising baby carriages, food and cloths, but no one wanted her. The poor thing even thought she would get a deal with Cover Girl after being on 'Dancing With The Stars,' instead they went with Beyonce."
And with eight mouths to feed -- not to mention the new expense of having a home tutor for two of the kids -- the bills keep piling up. "Kate is so worried about her finances that she's even thinking about getting a real job," an insider tells me. Imagine that!

I will watch this bee-yotch crumble with great delight. She is mean, rude and disrespectful to her children....she plays to the camera AS IF she's someone interesting. I've only seen snippets of that show and can't bear to watch a minute more. This woman is evil incarnate.

I got it: she could join the cast of sisterwives!!! That would be awesome! I might actually watch that just for the hopeful fights that would take place!
- Friday 19 NovemberBy CM
Are you kidding me, people are really falling for this story? I am sure Kate does not discuss her finances with anyone but her accountant. I cannot stand Kate, but let's get real here.
- Friday 19 NovemberBy Lydia
If she had been smart she would have taken that money ,bought a normal house(not the "starter castle" she bought), paid for it and budgeted all that money she got. She'd have no problems.
You don't see other families with lots of kids throwing away money like she has.What a shame for her poor kids. This is gonna end up just like the other "octomom" situation.
- Monday 22 NovemberBy marylee
Kate and the octomom have nothing to be proud of other than being a brood hog. Kate thinks she is a star, acts like she is a star but she is nothing but a brood hog. Look how fast Octomom went out of the limelight and now if kate would it would be great. So many people are sick of her, her actions and thinking she is something she is not.
If she has spent most of the money where is the kids money? I bet she don't spend much on them and they are the ones that earn it. Let her go back with her husband and keep her family together.

You ladies are jealous because after 8 kids she is still hot.You guys would do her if you could do,nt lie I would.
- Wednesday 24 NovemberBy Betty
Kate needs to a mirror, one to look at her fake image and to see who really is the blame for the children being out of control in there behavior. They mirror what they see, and they have seen her scream at pout her way to get what she wants no matter her gets hurt, which is usually others. I realize Jon is a fault but he is man enough to own up to his errors and is trying to make a better life for the children away from the cameras. Kate if you want that life , go for and just be self-less for once and let Jon be the great father he always has been. You never gave him a chance as a husband. We will pray for your family, and hope you they can grow up stronger and wiser than you and make better choices in a calm environment.

Watch the Witchy New Video for Dog Bite's "Prettiest Pills"
"Prettiest Pills" is first single from Dog Bite, the new project of former Washed Out keyboardist Phil Jones. He's abandoned the chillwave kiddy-pool for the jangle guitar deep-end, but distanced vocals and weightless riffs retain his former band's placid, immense scale. The video features a couple witchy, ethereal types doing ethereal, witchy stuff, like gathering yams and burning some loser at the stake. "Prettiest Pills" comes off of Dog Bite's debut LP, Velvet Changes, which is out now on Carpark Records.

The Latest Word on F-35 Unit CostTweet
January 3, 2014
There have been some wild assertions about F-35 unit cost recently. See the Lockheed claims as reported in Breaking Defense, Defense News and others that we should expect F-35A costs to be $85 million in 2019. None of these articles acknowledged that there are ways to measure F-35 unit cost other than by mouthing Lockheed and/or Joint Program Office prognostications for the future. If you are interested in what they didn't report, see a five part analysis of F-35 costs in Time magazine from last June, summarized here.
However, as the great seer Yogi Berra said, "Predictions are hazardous, especially about the future." Lockheed-Martin predictions, especially without balance from the press, are more than hazardous; they are toxic, and they come with an agenda.
Try instead, empirical data from as recently as last month from sources that typically work hand-in-glove with the Pentagon. They would be the House and Senate Armed Services Committees. Their National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was squirted through the Senate and signed into law on December 26. On questions like funding for high priority weapons, like the F-35, they virtually never act without consulting closely with the Pentagon, even if they don't always cough up every penny requested. For their 2014 bill, they did indeed take a few nicks out of the F-35 program, but the numbers, released in their "Joint Explanatory Statement" for the 2014 NDAA, give a more revealing view of F-35 unit costs than what Lockheed and some uninquisitive articles asserted at the end of 2013.
The cost estimates in the NDAA for the cheapest version of the F-35, the Air Force's F-35A, are the following. (Note these costs as just for production and do not include R&D.)
The 2014 procurement cost for 19 F-35As will be $2.989 billion. However, we need to add to that the "long lead" money for the 2014 buy that was appropriated in 2013; that was $293 million, making a total of $3.282 billion for 19 aircraft in 2014. The math for unit cost comes to $172.7 million for each aircraft.
To be fully accurate, however, we should add the additional procurement money authorized for "modification of aircraft" for F-35As for 2014; that means $158 million more, bringing the total unit production cost to $181 million per copy.
None of that includes the 2014 R&D bill for the F-35A; that was $816 million; calculate that in if you want; I choose not to.
The Marine Corps and Navy versions are a little pricier.
For the Marines B, or STOVL, model, the authorized 2014 buy is six (6) aircraft for $1.267 billion in 2014 procurement, $106 million in 2013 long lead money, and $147 million in 2014 aircraft procurement modifications. That calculates to $252.3 million for each one.
For the Navy's C, carrier-capable (but not yet), model, we get four (4) aircraft for $1.135 billion, plus $32 million in long lead, plus $31 million in modifications. That means $299.5 million for each one.
Actual F-35 unit costs are today multiples of what Lockheed says they will be. If you think it is reasonable to expect them to plummet to the $85 million Lockheed glibly promises (thanks to the ubiquitous "learning curve" and other manipulations), please consider a somewhat different analysis, also in Time, available here.
The cost data from the 2014 NDAA is not the last word. Authorization bills actually have little to do with real money, but the House and Senate Armed Services Committees like to conform their bill to whatever the latest DOD data happens to be. Keep an eye out for the 2014 appropriations bill, due out as early as next week. That is the real money bill, and it will contain not just the latest word on F-35 costs but all the money the 2014 F-35 program will see. My guess is that it will differ little from the NDAA, but if the numbers are different, they will likely show a cut to both total dollars and the number of aircraft bought. That is not good news for F-35 idolaters: cuts to the F-35 top line will almost surely mean deeper proportional cuts to the number bought, and the unit cost will go up.
Lockheed claims on F-35 unit costs are easy fodder for ridicule, but for some reason the press I have seen reporting on those claims did not report any data from an available alternate source. Because they didn't, I am.
Keep an eye out for the actual F-35 costs in the 2014 appropriations bill and how the press reports on them. After that, keep an eye out for what DOD puts in its 2015 budget request for the F-35. It is a real question whether those data will calculate to a lower unit cost for the F-35 or a higher one, learning curve prognostications notwithstanding.
Treat Lockheed's predictions with all the respect they deserve. Consider similarly press reports on those predictions that do not give you more reliable data or any wider perspective.
