As part of the Richard Kelly blogathon on Exodus 8.2 I'm revising and re-posting my initial fractured skewed take on SOUTHLAND TALES which is heavily influenced by Steven Shaviro's highly recommended book, Post Cinematic Affect
"It is the business of the future to be dangerous."
----Alfred N. Whitehead (1925)
"Scientists are saying the future is going to be far more
futuristic than they originally predicted."
--- Krista Now (Sara Michell Gellar), Southland Tales
"Can you prove it didn't happen?"
-- Criswell, Plan 9 From Outer Space
After the cult explosion around Kelly's big debut, DONNIE DARKO, it was inevitable his follow-up would be needlessly obtuse. With a bit of post-modern affect discussion under your belt, or on a double feature with BOARDING GATE however, it might tighten up. Might not. There is an annoying buzz of self-indulgent confidence at work in the film which you'd never find in the much more serious Assayas. He would never share the naivete that since one film of his is a cult item, the next one will be too, and in presuming its weirdness will find a cult it's right there with BUCKAROO BANZAI as far as 'another think coming'. With its ceaseless frisson and funky breaks meant to dazzle fans of a certain age but it's a film made up of dead hypertext links and little text. At least BUCKAROO had Peter Weller's taciturn deadpan perfection to carry it along. The closest SOUTHLAND gets is The Rock, and though he makes some brave choices (Bob Hope-style faux cowardice), Rock's no Weller. Can you imagine the Rock as Bill Burroughs?
Kelly's presumption that we'll watch SOUTHLAND over and over and compare obscure references and symbolic meaning on the internet comes from an understandable-for-the-young miasma about changing viewing habits and--interestingly enough since Assayas is French but not Kelly and only Europeans (and South Americans) love their auteurs unconditionally--that newer generations of internet kids will think he's cutting edge if he just explores their virtual worlds. But the Darko days movie watching was limited to cable and DVD and midnight screenings. There were no youtubes and Netflixes the type of things that make just watching one film one time a daunting improbability for newer generations. When BUCKAROO came out we didn't think it was great but we still taped it off cable and watched it 100 times, because it wasn't bad. Do you want to know why DONNIE DARKO was such a hit, and screened at midnight showings for years in my old East Village neighborhood? Because chicks loved the doomed, moody romance and Jake G's stoner stare; his battles with schizophrenia mirrored their own issues with existential expressions like cutting, anorexia, drugs, and (at least based on the girls I knew, at the time), grudge sex. It was a hand into their darkness, a friend who knew the score and who had great eyelashes. And it was lyrical and poetic without being close to corny; it was there for you. And since girls went, guys went right after them. You could go to the midnight show in your pajamas and no one would bat an eye, or a ball, very far. In other words, it was a date movie for the midnight hipster set. They could go after hooking up, meet back up with their friends, and then not have to see each other on the way out.
|"Quantum teleportation, teen horniness, and war."
DARKO was about the apocalypse immolation of the individual but SOUTHLAND presumes there is no individual to sacrifice, no time left to travel anywhere but across a single moment. DARKO was elliptical but had momentum. SOUTHLAND has only the stasis of 2-D checkerboard movement, like the way time slows and matter mirror shatters close to the black hole of ground and time zero which is fine for me, but boys are more pro-apocalypse than girls, which is another reason this film didn't connect with them. The nonstop parade of documentaries about 2012, Nostradamus, and the Ice Age on Discovery and the History Channel proves what Kelly's SOUTHLAND TALES hints at: some of us, self included, are excited for the apocalypse. It's a chance to stop receiving paper bank statements in a whole new way. I'd even argue that we're apocalypse-dependent, some of us. Without the fantasy of a global reset button, we'd be stuck with the guilt, hangover, and debt of seven generations. Aren't you always tempted to just blow up the house rather than have to clean up your messes or look that crying Indian in his eye?
In the new century, if we heard the world was gonna end 'exactly' five hundred years from now, would we care? The game of it all becomes what the Buddha calls "joyful participation in the sorrows of the world. When the world finally adapts that marvelous strategy, owning up to amnesia is the same as pressing the button because even Def-Con 5 needs love.
Even the bad guys who monitor everything from afar in SOUTHLAND are secretly enthralled by the notion of the end, and are all rebelling from one program or another to ensure that end arrives. Good guys and bad all want the same thing in an age when amnesia is inducible via an easily acquired drug. Anyone can be abducted and turned loose without being able to identify one's abductees. The Rock (Boxer Santeros), starts the film with amnesia and the first thing his wife (Mandy Moore) notes when seeing him--as if it was the reek of stale booze and cigarettes or stale perfume on his collar-is that he'd been kidnapped and mind-erased. He denies his amnesia on instinct as if its something to be ashamed of. It's a weird choice, but if you've ever come home from a party with a mind full of weird drugs you promised your ball-and-chain you wouldn't do, and can barely remember doing, then you'll know the feeling.
What Kelly also understands is the nature of drugs and the weird habit alcoholics and drug addicts have of watching the same movie over and over again because... I forget why. They're too wasted to change the channel? Or dredge up another DVD? Or for that matter, the endless repeat seasons of reality TV shows, where our knowledge of what is going to happen, who will win, who will die, is granted us like benign rulers, or our own inner Pilot Abilenes. Revelation 6.8 and behold a pale horse and the name that sat on it was repeat business; if you've ever edited footage on Final Cut until it loses all meaning... or if you've ever conducted experiments on soldiers or sniffed paint fumes from a spray can, or had amnesia, then you know what I mean, and if you're happy and you know it, hit the squib, and act shocked when you die. Snivel as you swivel your electric high chair, so the Dead End Kids won't want to start no trouble in the rubble. Just leave them a DVD of SOUTHLAND TALES, and they'll think you were one muthufuggin' lost-ass generation. Weren't you, Perfect Tommy?

NEW ROCHELLE, NY -- Asked to express confidence in City Manager Charles B. Strome by approving a controversial plan to reorganize the New Rochelle Police Department, the City Council responded by roundly defeating the plan in a bi-partisan 5-2 vote. Democrats Shari Rackman, Ivar Hyden and Jared Rice joined Republicans Lou Trangucci and Al Tarantino in voting against the administration's plan. Mayor Noam Bramson and Barry Fertel voted for the plan.
Before calling a roll call vote on the council measure, in a room packed with off-duty officers from the New Rochelle Police Department, Bramson took the unusual step of making the vote a referendum on Strome's leadership.
"If we're not going to trust the City Manager in this, we should get a new City Manager," said Bramson.
City Clerk Bennie Giles read the roll.
Lou Trangucci…"No"
Al Tarantino…"No"
Jared Rice…"No"
Ivar Hyden…"No"
Barry Fertel…"Yes"
Shari Rackman…"No"
Noam Bramson…"Yes"
The measure failed 2-5.
The vote was a stunning rebuke not just for the City Manager and Police Commissioner but for Bramson.
The resolution was an Ordinance to amend the 2013 Budget to establish three Assistant Police Commissioner positions. Over the past week the Mayor and City Manager have sought to portray the vote as a required procedural step with no special significance.
During a robust question and answer session, with Police Commissioner Carroll at the City Council table, the six Council members engaged the Commissioner, the City Manager and each other. Mayor Bramson watched but said nothing.
Time and time again, Carroll and Strome provided misleading, incorrect or inaccurate information.
Shari Rackman was tenacious.
After Lou Trangucci asked Carroll how many disciplinary hearings for Sergeants, Lieutenants and Captains had occurred during his time as Police Commissioner. Strome answered for him.
"I came prepared for that question," said Strome. "There were 54 command discipline cases."
Rackman followed up, demanding to know how many hearings had been held.
Carroll meekly offered an answer, "a handful".
This statement is false. During his time as Commissioner there have been zero disciplinary hearings for superior officers.
Jared Rice came with a number of good questions.
He wanted to know if converting police captains to a civilian position had any precedent in taking people out of their union. There was no answer.
Rice asked a pointed question about the issue of retirement age for members of the police department. Strome implied that the decision on the retirement age of a member of the police department in New Rochelle was decided by the New York State pension system. This is false. Each municipality in New York State decides its own retirement age. The New Rochelle City Code states the retirement age to be 62.
Rice stumped the City Manager and Police Commissioner after Carroll stated that the main justification for the reorganization was that in the current system, if someone were ranked 5 or 6 in the Captain's eligibility list he could not select them if he had to replace the current three captains.
Rice said that Carroll could pick the 5th person in replacing the third captain if all three were replaced. Carroll and Strome confidently insisted this was not the case.
Rice was correct. In replacing the first Captain, the Police Commissioner would have to select from 1 of 3 on the eligibility list. For the second Captain, 1 of the first 3 on the list would now be a Captain and so the 4th person on the list would move into the top 4. For the third Captain, the 5th person would now be among the top 3 as two would now be Captains.
Carroll admitted that the current system worked pretty well, in response to a question from Al Tarantino, while arguing that the current system did not work which is why he wanted to change it.
Strome said the Council had been exposed to the proposal since August, 2012. This statement was false. Strome told Talk of the Sound he first shared a memo on the proposed reorganization with Council in October. Most Council members said they had no recollection of seeing the memo and that the first they heard about it was from Talk of the Sound.
Bramson made an incoherent argument based on the odd notion that since no one on Council had been a member of a police force none of the was fit to make an independent judgement and should be deferential to the wishes of the Police Commissioner.
No one on the City Council has worked in a job driving a garbage truck or filling pot holes either. The Mayor has never made a similar argument about budget votes on the DPW.
More to the point, Bramson has never worked as a fire fighter but he routinely votes against the recommendations of the leadership of the New Rochelle Fire Department.
Bramson began his soliloquy by accusing Council Members of "failing to see the forest from the trees" before criticizing Council Members for their "exploration of minutia" and "overstepping a wise course of action for a City Council".
Bramson came across as angry and exasperated that elected officials at the table might have their own concerns and questions independent of the Mayor's deference to Mr. Carroll.
Tarantino asked the best question of the night. After repeatedly implying that the vote was a required technical measure to satisfy the state government, Tarantino asked whether, after the vote tonight, the City Manager would return to Council for any further approvals. Carroll and Strome responded with silence before Strome finally answered "no".
The five members of City Council who voted the plan down did a great thing for New Rochelle. Not only did they defeat a ploy by the administration to enrich their friends at taxpayer's expense but they sent a strong message against the sort of deceptive legislative maneuvering that has occurred in bringing this matter to a vote.
Rackman, Rice, Tarantino, Trangucci and Hyden had clearly done their homework and peppered Carroll and Strome with well-aimed questions. In the end Carroll and Strome had no real answers and resorted to pleading.
Even before Bramson's "No Confidence" vote, Strome had turned the resolution into a loyalty vote.
"This is your administration recommending this," said Strome.
Rackman, Rice, Tarantino, Trangucci and Hyden were unmoved by Strome or Bramson.
The political ramifications for Bramson remain to be seen. He went "all in" when he said the Council should get another City Manager if they voted against the City Manager. Members of his own party, including Rice who serves on his campaign committee for Westchester County Executive, voted against the Mayor.

FANALYTICS: The Cliff Lee Revenge
By Ron Shandler May 23rd, 2013 11:06pm
Last season, owners of Cliff Lee suffered an unfortunate roto indignity. Despite pitching to a fine 3.16 ERA, Lee came away with only 6 wins. He earned just $17 in a season that should have generated 8-10 more wins and $8-$10 more dollars.
It's our ultimate frustration, isn't it? We watch our guys on the mound, often pitching brilliantly, but either their team's offense can't get going or the bullpen implodes.

PORT ARANSAS - A Port Aransas woman who survived a brutal beating earlier this month is asking for the public's help to hind the man who attacked her.
35 year old Erin Wilson met us at the place where it all happened Thursday afternoon, Port Aransas Beach near the Horace Caldwell Pier. She says it is a night she will never forget.
Wilson says she was sitting in her car around 2am. She says she was listening to music and watching the waves trying to relax when a man stuck his arm through the window and began to choke her.
"He took his other hand and was touching me, down there so I know he wanted to rape me. And I started to hit him and that's when he started to hit me," said Wilson.
She now has a metal plate under her eye because her bone shattered, and she no longer can see with her left eye. But Wilson says no matter how hard he hit her she wasn't going to let him win.
"I just thought well he better kill me before he tries to rape be because I'm gonna fight to the end," said Wilson.
Wilson was able to escape and drive away. She called police and was taken to the hospital. Police are investigating the attack, but Wilson says she has one thing to say to the person who attacked her.
"I'm gonna make it my life mission to make sure that he gets put away. No matter what it takes. I'm gonna get this sicko off these beaches," said Wilson.
Wilson says she never saw her attacker's face. All she knows is he is a slender white man. If you know anything about the assault contact the Port Aransas Police Department.

Dishfireon January 17, 2014 @ 6:06 am (Updated: 8:12 am - 1/17/14 )
It's yet another disclosure from the Snowden files by the Guardian of London: an NSA document from 2011 about a program called Dishfire, which is making big news in Britain.
"Two-hundred-million text messages a day have been hoovered-up and stored in a secret system developed by American spies," according to the report that aired on Britain's Channel 4.
They make it sound so ... ominous.
"Suppose you're taking a train to Brussels. When you arrive you get a welcome text from your phone company. This automatically hoovered up into the Dishfire system," says the reporter.
The reporter displays her iPhone showing examples of the kind of personal texts that these American spies have been capturing.
"If I arrange to meet someone, any text, any financial transaction is also collected and if my contact sends me his business card, that too would be caught," she reports.
Everyday: 110,000 contacts captured, 800,000 financial transactions.
The overall effect of the report was to make America look, well, like some kind of evil empire.
"The Americans had to delete the texts of their own citizens but international traffic, including from us Britains, was fair game and could be spied upon at will."
Just a reminder of the other fallout from this whole story. That even in friendly countries the NSA is making us look like the Death Star. People need to understand that we're the good guys. We're Americans. We're here to help.
Now turn that ominous music off.

Pick It Out
Think it through when choosing your franchise.
Franchising includes dozens of industries, and dozens of companies offering franchises within those industries. How do you choose between two or three seemingly identical franchises to find the right fit for you?
"Understand it's not always about who's the largest franchisor in that industry. The right choice has more to do with the relationship match," says Terry Powell, CEO and founder of The Entrepreneur's Source, a franchise matchmaking company in Southbury, Connecticut.
This match, says Powell, involves harmonizing your expectations of training, support and goals not only with those of the top people in the franchise organization, but also with the lower-level people you'll interact with on a regular basis if you join the system.
The people factor was an important consideration for Mark Strayer, a Mission Viejo, California, Maid Brigade franchisee. Strayer, 45, thoroughly investigated three residential cleaning franchises before selecting Maid Brigade. "I went through every single person in their organization. By meeting with the different people I'd be working with, I was well-attuned to what goes on behind the curtain," he says.
Strayer also spoke with existing franchisees in each different system about their personal experiences, expectations and successes. In the end, territory was the deal-breaker for Strayer, who wanted to open a franchise in Southern California.
Even after conducting thorough research of all possible franchises, feeling buyer's remorse about your final choice is normal. Powell warns all new franchisees not to give in to doubt too quickly after signing on with a franchise system. "Very rarely does the business itself determine whether or not you'll succeed," he says. "Give yourself at least a year to build the right foundation."

It's a shock. It's something you don't want to hear. When the doctor told me I have Breast Cancer, I said, well, you and I will get through this.
This is just a bump in the road.
I've had such a blessed life. I've done things and been to places I would have never dreamed, because of my career.
However, in life, you have to take the bitter with the sweet.
This news is not the end, just the beginning of a new journey. Life isn't about the things you own and things that you show off. Instead, it's what you do in life, and the legacy that you leave behind.
For me, there is no sense in wallowing and digging a hole to crawl into. I feel like it is what it is, and I just have to deal with it.
Crying and boo-hooing and looking for people to pick me up, doesn't change the diagnosis. It's Cancer.
So, I need to get real and decide what my next step is going to be.
Remember, I just started this journey.
I'm not changing my life because of this. I may have to take a few little detours.
I want you to join me in my journey. Leave a message for me right here on JC Hayward.com and tell me your story or your feelings.
Have a blessed day.
Here's the News release about my situation sent out by WUSA9:
Washington D.C.'S First Female Television News Anchor Announces Plan to Beat Her Own Breast Cancer
JC Hayward has been on the air in Washington, DC for forty years and is now a beloved fixture in local news.
Washington, D.C. April 6, 2012
Nearly1 in 8 American women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. WUSA-TV's television icon JC Hayward has just become one of the women with breast cancer and she has vowed to wage the battle of her life, both on and off the air.
The death rates from breast cancer have been decreasing since 1990 — primarily because of treatment advances, earlier detection through screening, and increased awareness. So when JC Hayward got the stunning diagnosis this week, her first thought was of her television "family."
"I've spent four decades on the air in our nation's capital and my closest friends are my viewers" JC said. "I am going to be serious and aggressive about my own treatment but I also want to take this opportunity to tell women how important early detection and early treatment are, especially for African American women like me." Hayward added. According to the American Cancer Society African-American women are more likely to die of breast cancer than the population as a whole.
A diagnosis of breast cancer can be frightening to any woman. But statistics show that those who vigilantly examine themselves every month and get yearly mammograms usually survive the disease.
JC will be joined in her important battle by her long-time friend and WUSA-TV colleague Andrea Roane. According to JC; "Andrea was the first person I shared this news with and she is the one who convinced me to share this news with the public…because I might be able to help other women."
Andrea Roane is best known to viewers in Washington D.C. for her passionate reporting on breast health issues and promoting the importance of early detection in the fight against breast cancer. Andrea has been the guiding force behind WUSA's early detection campaign called BuddyCheck9 for eighteen years.
Beginning Monday, April 9 WUSA-TV will follow JC through her treatment process and will document each stage with on air reports and JC's video diary.

Pour approximately 1 inch layer of "activated charcoal" into the basket being careful no charcoal gets into the intake channels.
Put approximately 1 inch of filter floss on top of the charcoal. Be sure that the floss is behind and around the uplift tube. This will ensure that the water goes through the filter materials rather than around them.
Push air line through the top of lid. Starting at the snug (center) passage created by 3 prongs.
Push insert into Discard-a-stone. Attach to airline tubing.
Put lid on filled basket (guiding airline and stone down the tube of the basket insert). Adjust the airline so the stone rests on or near the bottom of the basket.
Attach anchor to bottom of basket.
Put assembled unit in aquarium. To help keep unit from floating*: 1) Hold under water until most trapped air excapes through vent in the lid. 2) Place unit so the anchor is under the gravel and push into position: then level the gravel over the anchor (around the unit), taking care not to obstruct intake vents.
Use airline connector to attach additional airline tubing to the air pump. Adjust air pump so that there is a good steady flow of bubbles.
*All corner filters tend to float because plastic is less dense than water. Also, air tends to be trapped in charcoal and the filter material. you may find it necessary to add plant weights or rocks to prevent flotation.

Beer barons, statesman, artists, entrepreneurs, pioneers in exploration and human rights advocates, are among the 87,000 who create the flowing mosaic of American culture in St. Louis and rest permanently at Bellefontaine Cemetery.
The 314-acre active cemetery displays picturesque landscapes via 14 miles of roads leading visitors to such notables as General William Clark, Adolphus Busch, Sara Teasdale, Thomas Hart Benton and William Burroughs.
Founded in 1849, Bellefontaine is the first rural cemetery west of the Mississippi, and one of the nation's finest examples of a garden cemetery. Bellefontaine reflects and represents the art, sculpture, history and legacy of St. Louis and its culture.
Taking two adjacent cemeteries together, Bellefontaine Cemetery & Calvary Cemetery, there is no place on earth where more Union and Confederate generals lie at rest is such close proximity—more generals who commanded armies during the American Civil War lie here than are buried at Arlington National Cemetery and West Point combined.
Calvary Cemetery, in north St. Louis, is the second oldest cemetery of the Archdiocese of St. Louis and the largest in the state of Missouri. This cemetery contains the graves of Dred Scott; General William Tecumseh Sherman; playwright Tennessee Williams; and many noted persons identified with the beginning of St. Louis.
Taking two adjacent cemeteries together, Bellefontaine Cemetery & Calvary Cemetery, there is no place on earth where more Union and Confederate generals lie at rest in such close proximity; more generals who commanded armies during the American Civil War lie here than are buried at Arlington National Cemetery and West Point combined.
The State Veterans Cemetery at Jacksonville is situated on 117 contoured acres, including a 10-acre lake with a floating fountain. The first interment services were held on November 3, 2003.
The tranquility of this setting is enhanced by a carillon tower, which plays a different hymn each hour. The developed portion of the cemetery has 40,000 burial sites, along with the columbarium that has 800 niches for cremations.
Facilities include an administration building, maintenance facility, committal shelter for interment services, and a walking path with a bridge spanning the lake.
New Mt. Sinai Cemetery, founded in 1850, is the oldest existing Jewish cemetery in St. Louis and one of the oldest existing Jewish cemeteries west of the Mississippi River. Its historical significance and beautifully maintained grounds make it a popular place to visit.
You may print your tour narrative and detailed map from their website or stop by the cemetery office Mon.-Fri., 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Visitors can walk or drive to any or all of the 43 stops including the Community Mausoleum, the Veterans Memorial Garden and Monument, the original Chapel (1905), the House of Comfort (1916), and the burial sites of some of the most historically significant members of the St. Louis community. These include rabbis, cantors, philanthropists, business leaders, political figures, and veterans from every major conflict since the Mexican-American War in 1846.
Guided group tours of 15 or more can be arranged by calling New Mt. Sinai Cemetery office at 314-353-2540.

Recommended for These Courses
The Prince of the City is at once a fascinating character study of one of America's most charismatic public figures, a history of New York over the last forty years, and a classic inquiry into the issue of how cities thrive or die. Siegel's story culminates with a dramatic account of September 11, 2001, revealing how Giuliani's s eight years in office had prepared him and the city to rise to this tragic occasion and how in the aftermath of the attack he became America's Mayor. Siegel concludes with a look at how Guiliani's successor, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, has handled his legacy and at what lies in Guiliani's political future.
About the Author
Fred Siegel is a professor of history at the Cooper Union for Science and Art in New York City and a senior fellow at the Progressive Policy Institute in Washington. His last book, THE FUTURE ONCE HAPPENED HERE: NEW YORK, D.C.,L.A., AND THE FATE OF AMERICA'S BIG CITIES, was named by Peter Jennings as one of the 100 most important books about the United States in the 20th century. Siegel lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Jan Rosenberg. He was assisted in this book by his son, Harry Siegel. —This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
From Publishers Weekly: Despite its title, this book is more a biography of late-20th-century New York than of former Mayor Giuliani. Siegel (The Future Once Happened Here), a well-known figure in New York civic discussions, deftly traces the city's post-War spiral into fiscal and social malaise. In an opening section titled "New York Before Giuliani," Siegel describes how New York "turned the temporary emergency of the Great Depression into the permanent basis of its politics and government" by instituting decades of overly generous social programs, catering to special interest groups and amassing huge debts. Enter Giuliani. Siegel credits Guiliani with being a great synthesizer of new ideas about urban governance and policing, and he lauds the mayor's tough stance on crime and spending control. Though critics may claim that the city's turnaround in the '90s merely coincided with a nationwide economic upswing, Siegel touts the importance of the Giulini administration's economic, welfare-reform and crime-fighting policies. Siegel worked with Giuliani and is obviously a fan; indeed, his book seems geared toward polishing Giuliani's reputation for a possible presidential run. Fortunately for readers, though, he does not gloss over the former mayor's missteps. He describes Giuliani's divorce and how it became a messy public distraction, and he takes the ex-mayor to task for failing to institutionalize his fiscal reforms and for giving in, during his second term, to the temptation to buy votes with large public expenditures. opyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

From Booklist: Elected as mayor to reform New York City, Rudolph Giuliani offended liberal pieties in arguably the most liberal city in America. According to Giuliani, crime's root cause was not poverty but lax law enforcement; poverty was not alleviated by social welfare programs but perpetuated by them; and the public schools needed not more money but fewer bureaucrats. Chronicling the application of these heretical precepts during Giuliani's mayoralty (1994–2002), urban historian Siegel examines the extent to which they reformed city affairs amid vocal resistance from unions, social-service agencies, the school bureaucracy, and identity-group politicians. His tone is generally supportive of Giuliani's aims, and Siegel prefaces his narrative with a summary of the city's chronic fiscal fragility, which conservative analysts diagnosed as the consequence of economy-suffocating taxes, regulations, and Mob shakedowns, and which liberals maintained was the result of insufficient taxes, social programs, and ethnic-group inclusiveness. Integrating pertinent statistics, Siegel presents a positive but not uncritical opinion of the Giuliani record, which is of interest in itself but especially if Giuliani runs for president.

The Mars Center for Science and Technology has 12 teaching labs and 23 research labs as well as a rooftop observatory and greenhouse. The building's green features include a 1,300-square-footgreen roof, drought-tolerant plants that conserve water, glass curtain walls to maximize interior daylighting, solar shading on glass and brims to reduce solar heat during the summer and interior lighting sensors to reduce energy consumption. The building also features energy recovery wheels in the air-handling units, which significantly reduce heating and cooling loads.
Landscape architects Towers|Golde brought their skill and expertise to the project to ensure that the entire campus is a testament to green design. The green roof and landscaped plantings cover more than 65% of the project's site, and native and adaptive species account for more than 40% of the plants.
Speaking about the centre's achievement, President Ronald Crutcher said: "This award reflects the commitment of the entire Wheaton community to excellence in every endeavor. The Mars Center is an exceptional facility—as a place for learning and research as well as a model for sustainable development."
"Our goal was to achieve silver certification," the president added. "We exceeded that goal thanks to the support of our donors, the vision of our faculty, attention to detail of the college's staff and our builder's representative, The Rise Group; the expertise of our architects EYP; and the follow through of the general contractor, Bond Brothers."

There is general agreement on elastin's role in skin health, aging and appearance, but no method has yet elucidated how it degrades with aging when challenged by sun exposure or other means. This paper reviews two inconsistent theories in the literature, degradation and buildup, and highlights potential methods to marry the two. It also suggests proteomics as a method for further investigation.

A study published in Nature highlights how a team of Columbia University Medical Center researchers have uncovered the mechanisms behind touch; i.e., how humans feel details and textures.
Researchers Identify Pathway to Regulate Telomeres
Apr 7, 2014
Cancer researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, have identified a mechanism involved in the lengthening of telomeres; cosmetic researchers often look to this field for novel answers to skin aging.
Carotenoids for Dietary Photoprotection
Mar 20, 2014
Sun exposure leads to the production of free radicals in skin and to damage to elastin and collagen, resulting in premature aging. Studies of consuming carotenoid-rich fruits and vegetables have shown lower incidences of skin pathology. Carotenoids are among the most efficient natural scavengers of free radicals and may be used as oral sun protection, as is discussed here.

Do you Journal?
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 10-02-2012 - 10:10am
Today is day 9 of NC. I guess it is NC.....there has been no contact either way in 9 days, but it was not a formal request for no contact, it was shouted (by me) into the phone, to him, to NEVER, EVER try to contact me again. (After finding out he was seeing someone else and had lied about it all summer.) My situation was a little different in that I was single (widow) and he had not lived with his W in many, many years. I guess I was able to treat our relationship as "normal" because he was so involved in my life. The only secrecy was on his part but his family lived far enough away that we came and went as we pleased much like any other couple. The NC has really opened my eyes to how much I was burying inside in order to keep this relationship. I can justify it all I want but when it comes down to it, I was involved in an affair. Period. I begged him over the years to please make the divorce legal so that I could be a part of his life too. (He has grown children that he would visit from time to time, but was not really close to them) The thing was, for so long, I WAS his life. My friends were his friends, my family loved him. (they didn't know he was still legally married) I was happy as a clam, in love with a man that would do anything for me. I THOUGHT that was unique. After I found this site, and started reading I realized that what I thought to be a relationship was in truth only an A. The kicker is that he knew it was killing me inside and instead of honoring the 10+ years we were together, he starts an A with a MARRIED women he reconnected with from H.S. He NEVER intended to get a divorce and strung me along like a rag doll for all those years. To be honest, I never thought about how people feel in affairs, because I could wrap my situation up in a pretty package and label it a relationship. I see, however, that everyone that has been in an A had the same emotional connection to the AP that I did. Talking about EVERYTHING and sharing so much that when the contact is severed you feel like you have lost your best friend too.
I am trying to start journaling but find myself staring at the blank page with nothing but memories of us flashing before my eyes. If you journal, does it help?
|Tue, 10-02-2012 - 10:25am
I journaled...a lot. There were times that I was so full of angst, I couldn't journal fast enough...to get it out of me...and I always felt better afterwards.
If you find yourself staring at a blank page, maybe start by writing the never-to-be-sent letter to your JAM. I'm willing to bet that once you set that pen to paper, it won't be able to keep up with thoughts. That's how it was for me anyway...once I started writing, it all just came pouring out.
Journaling can also act as a means to see your progress..to be able to look back and see how you have progressed and as a reminder of where you never want to go again.
|Tue, 10-02-2012 - 11:30am
Hi Better,
I journal and did it regularly after ending my A. I journaled a lot in the beginning about things I wish I could say to xAP and/or feelings or emotions I was experiencing. I found giving my thoughts and emotions a voice on paper or on the computer screen helped me let them go. When I was a little further along in my recovery, I would journal in the mornings and if other thoughts about xAP or the A came up after that I would tell them to go away until tomorrow when they would have their time to come to life on a blank piece of paper or computer screen. If it seemed urgent and pressing, I would take time out to write it down. I do think it is good to set aside specific times to journal so that you are not spending too much of your day dwelling on those issues. Overtime little of my journal had to do with xAP and the A and more to do with me and current challenges in my life or just how I was feeling in general day to day.
As Clarity mentioned, try writing about your xAP what you're feeling or thinking about him and/or the A and/or what you'd like to tell him is a great place to start.
One thing journaling helped me see clearly, is feelings and thoughts can change sometimes as often as minute by minute. They along with perspective can change over time especially if you are doing work on yourself to actively change. If you find looking back that you are writing the same things you were a year ago, it might help in seeing where you are stuck. It can be a useful tool in many ways.
|Tue, 10-02-2012 - 11:51am
Yes! I am big on journaling; always have been, even way before the A.
I just ramble and ramble when I journal. Just go on and on; about anything that pops into my head. If anyone were to read them, they would think I was completely ADD and insane and uneducated in that I would fly from one thought to the next!
And it was so cleansing to LEAVE it on the paper. And, many times, as I wrote, an insight or even an answer would pop up.
And, like E1 says, it is so interesting to re-read the journals at some point on down the road. It's amazing to see what was so important or difficult or scary at one time has since resolved itself and is no longer a concern.
A word of caution is to keep your journal in a place where it will likely not be found. It should be your safe "place" to go and just BE and let it all out.
|Tue, 10-02-2012 - 1:42pm
Oh, honey--YEAH.
I've been NC for 10 months now. I was just looking at my journal this morning. It does really help to see how far I've come since the beginning. It also keeps me from forgetting the reasons I ended my A. All I have to do is go back 10 months to see the misery and grief I was feeling, to know that I don't want to go back there again, ever.
I read it quite often, although I don't write in it now as often as I used to. Which, for me, is another good sign. I really needed it back then. Not so much now, except as a reminder.
I gave it a totally innocuous name and put it in a totally innocuous folder on my 'puter. I wish I knew some way of making it a file you could only get into with a password, but I'm not computer-savvy enough to know how to do that. But compared to the espionage sh!t I used to do just to maintain an A, that is so, so, so minor.
|Sun, 10-07-2012 - 10:52pm
LOL....so funny but true!
|Wed, 10-10-2012 - 8:58pm
Another journaler here
Journaling served many purposes for me - it let me get my anger out, let me have the conversations I needed in order to close things out. It let me play out scenarios to the end, to different ends. It gave me a place to put my frustration and weakness and anger and sadness into the universe and dispel it from my soul. It is a safe place to pour out my heart, to be brutally honest - it gave me back my solace.
I still journal - 2 years later. That single A vastly changed the landscape of everything I knew, and everything I will ever know. I'm sure you had the same epiphany so many of us did - that this miracle of connection and devotion and love with that other person seemed so special, so unique, so..... perfect. But you are right in that it was just another A. Sometimes I'd just write words. I'd crank up music and just write whatever words repeating them again and again until I had another thought just to drown out the feelings of everything. As I moved on, journaling has become a way to measure progress. It allows me to work out some long-standing issues I had before my A, things that led me to the A.
So yes, journal. Start with feeling prompts - I am mad because, I feel betrayed because, I feel sad because, I want, I need, I can, I can't, I wish, I know, I cry.....use all of them - be mad. The loss of your A is the same as a death, if not worse because they still exist and all the feelings and emotions have no resolution - they simply must stop. Say the things you want to say to him - argue, play out all the avenues - if he had stayed, if he never came into your life, if he only wanted you as an ongoing mistress - play them all out - give them alternative endings..... journaling gives a voice to emotional and ego needs and wants and allows us to see who we are without all the window dressing.

HON-H399 Colloquium Courses
An Honors Colloquium is an HON H399 seminar course. Typically, it is led by different instructors in different semesters and the topic changes from semester to semester.
To complete the Honors Program each student must complete 2 HON H399 Colloquium courses.
Recently Taught Colloquia Topics
Fall 2014 - A Healthy Does: Healthcare meets the Humanities
Karla Stouse, English
A Healthy Dose: What If Health Care Met the Humanities? will put medicine under a microscope to examine some of its historical, economic, sociological, political, psychological, scientific, and legal issues through the lens of a humanities perspective. As they study the efforts of ancient physicians/scientists, modern caregivers/ advocates, and many others invested in the enterprise, students will explore and develop innovative approaches to the giving and receiving of health care in America and around the world.
Spring 2014 - Digital Culture
Dr. Paul Cook, English
The contemporary adage that we exist in a fast-moving, increasingly connected (and
"connectable") world is a commonplace of mainstream media. But what precisely are we referring to when we discuss the massive changes wrought by the internet, mobile devices, networks, and by digital culture generally?
This honors seminar attempts to probe beneath the shiny veneer of digital culture—TED talks, Wired-esque paeans to unrestrained commerce, the breathless celebrations of networked "togetherness"—to critically engage and interrogate our status in a world forever changed by digital technologies. A major portion of this course will be devoted to exploring how the rise of the digital represents a shift in human consciousness and evolution on a scale not witnessed since the invention of that other world-shattering technology: writing.
Taking a broad, multidisciplinary tour through some of the most significant texts in recent intellectual history, together we will study concepts and themes like "digital citizenship," the changing nature of the self and relationships in digital environments, the epistemology (and ontology) of networks, the harsh new realities of global capitalism and its effects on humanity and the planet, and digital technology's overall impact on how we engage politics, labor, leisure, education, and life.
Fall 2013 - Prosocial Behavior: Why We Help Others
Dr. Kathy Holcomb, phsychology
We will be examining why it is that people help others, in some cases even when doing so is not in their own best interest. To that end, we will read and discuss perspectives from psychology, politics, philosophy, history, and biology that seek to explain prosocial behavior. Additionally, we will explore how these perspectives apply to real world situations where people did or did not help others.
Spring 2013 – Wit and Humor
Dr. Joe Keener, English
The purpose of this colloquium is to consider the ideas of wit and humor. The course will have a theoretical basis with A Comprehensive Philosophy of Humor, Freud, and other thinkers, as we try to figure out just what wit, humor, and laughter are, how they work, and what their purpose may be. The initial focus will be on the comic in literature, but the class will eventually move toward other forms of media such as films and television.
Fall 2012 – Philosophy & Ethics of Technology
Netty Provost, Philosophy
Throughout human history technology has played a transformative role in human life. This course will explore philosophical theories about technology the impact that it has on individuals and societies. Readings will be drawn from a globally diverse range of historical and contemporary sources. Students in the course will also have the opportunity to help shape the reading schedule based on specific topics in philosophy, ethics and technology that that they are interested in.
Spring 2012 - What is INtelligence? A Critical Examniatio of the Varied Perspectives on Brilliance, Genius and Aptitude
Dr. Melissa Grabner-Hagen, Education
In this course we will cover historical, social, educational, and cognitive aspects of intelligence. Topics such as the ethics of intelligence testing, the validity of Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, and the potential of artificial intelligence will be discussed. We will examine and debate research related to the relationship between intelligence and humor as well as intelligence and genetics.
Fall 2011 - Rhetoric and Ideology
Dr. Christopher R. Darr, Communication Arts
Rhetoric is a powerful force. It is not just "the art of persuasion," as Aristotle suggested: it has come to be understood as a power that structures society, reinforces dominant values, and normalizes certain ways of thinking. Rhetoric creates ideologies, reinforces them, and is sometimes used to critique and change them. This applies to political ideologies (conservatism), economic ideologies (capitalism), religious ideologies (Christianity), and many more. This class will explore the central role played by rhetoric in the creation, sustenance, and challenging of the ideologies that structure society and guide people's behavior.
This class is open exclusively to Honors Students. As with other H399 courses, the class will be taught as a reading seminar. We will read the works of many modern and postmodern theorists (Marx, Foucault, Gramsci, Nietzsche, etc.) who have written on ideology, rhetoric, and the connection between the two. We will also read scholarly applications of these theories by contemporary authors.
Fall 2010 – Evolution: An Interdisciplinary Approach
Dr. Joe Keener, English
The title of this course is actually backwards—Interdisciplinary: An Evolutionary approach would be more accurate. The main thrust of the course will be to apply evolutionary thinking to your chosen fields of study and, hopefully, to see them in a different light. A secondary, but no less important, purpose of the class will be to consider the road from taking in ideas, to synthetic thinking, to producing your own work. You will have access to my notes and work as a model—not that you will be expected to produce the exact same amount of work in one semester, but it is my hope that this class will be a different scholarly experience from the usual course.

Frank Lloyd Wright House Already Drawing Museum Visitors
Posted 7/7/2014 12:00 am
Updated 5 months ago
Interest in the reconstruction of the Bachman Wilson House on the grounds of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville is so great that people have been bringing lawn chairs to watch the work progress.
That's according to Scott Eccleston, the museum's director of facilities and grounds. He's overseeing the three phases of the reassembly of the house, designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
Crystal Bridges announced its purchase of the 1,800-SF concrete and mahogany house in January, along with its plan to move the house to the museum's 120-acre grounds from Millstone, New Jersey, where frequent flooding threatened it. The disassembled house arrived in Bentonville in late April, transported almost 1,300 miles to Arkansas by J.B. Hunt Transport Services of nearby Lowell.
Phase one, now underway, is site work, including the building of a road on the carefully landscaped grounds to accommodate construction traffic and utility installation.
Phase two will be construction of the basement and slab, and phase three will be the actual reconstruction of the house, piece by numbered piece.
"I've had no less than 20 architects around the country ask if they can be part of the job," Eccleston told Whispers. "We've probably had 10 companies offer to rebuild the house at a discounted rate. They just want to be part of it."
Working with the museum from "day one" on the project is Hight-Jackson Associates of Rogers and its CEO, Ron Shelby, who studied under Arkansas architect Fay Jones, who in turn studied under Wright.
"He could have definitely handed this off and he's like, 'No. I want this. I'm going to run this. I want to see this thing all the way through,'" Eccleston said.
HSA Engineering of Fort Smith is the mechanical engineer; Morrison-Shipley, which has offices in Fort Smith, Bentonville and Searcy, is the civil engineer; and Bill Faber Construction Co. of Bentonville will be the general contractor reassembling the house.
The house itself now lies in pieces in a Bentonville warehouse, awaiting reconstruction, which should begin by about Oct. 1, Eccleston said.
Have there been any surprises?
"I think the biggest surprise is you take a house that was built in the '50s and it's all tied in; it's one piece," he said. "And then you take piece by piece apart and you hit a little bit of the Arkansas humidity and you start to see that the boards have a little bit of freedom. So it's going to be quite the challenge to have these old bones of this building go back into form. But we can do it. We can do it."
In addition, a few pieces of the house must be replaced, and trying to find mahogany of comparable quality and dimensions — well, that's another challenge. "It's not something that you can typically go to Lowe's and buy," Eccleston said.
"It all has to go back like the perfect puzzle," he added. It's believed to be the first time that a Wright house has been completely dismantled, moved and then reassembled. Eccleston declined to say how much the effort was costing Crystal Bridges.
The museum hopes to have the Bachman Wilson House open to visitors May 1, but Crystal Bridges is trying to accommodate visitors wanting an in-person view of the process.
"You wouldn't believe how much access we give the public," Eccleston said. "You can literally go across Crystal Pond and set up and you can watch board by board going up in October."

Eliminating lanes is a gain for motorists and bicyclists
RESTON, Va.—A section of Lawyers Road is going on a "road diet" to lose two of its four thru lanes. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and Fairfax County Supervisor Cathy Hudgins said the unusual plan will reduce crashes, improve safety and enhance mobility for motorists and bicyclists alike.
When Lawyers Road was scheduled for routine repaving this summer, VDOT traffic engineers seized the opportunity to also improve its safety by reconfiguring the four travel lanes between Reston Parkway and Myrtle Lane. Instead of two travel lanes in each direction, road lines will be re-painted to accommodate a continuous, two-way, left-turn lane down the center of the road, as well as a travel lane and a five-foot bike lane in each direction.
"VDOT has identified a no-cost approach to reduce vehicle crashes and improve safety on Lawyers Road, while also giving cyclists additional travel options," said Supervisor Cathy Hudgins. "It's a win-win for all."
Crashes are expected to drop by at least 20 percent once the road is re-striped. Over the past three years, there were 56 crashes on this section of Lawyers Road and VDOT engineers estimate that 15 of those could have been avoided. Several vehicles have been rear-ended while stopped in the left lane waiting to turn left. The two-way continuous turn-lane will help prevent rear-end crashes. Some vehicles have drifted across the centerline and hit oncoming traffic. A buffer between the travel directions will help prevent head-on crashes. Other benefits of the road diet include improved sight distance for motorists on side streets and mainline left-turners, and a reduction in excessive speeds because passing will be eliminated.
The two-mile road diet is part of a four-mile repaving project between Reston Parkway and Hunter Mill Road. All of the work will take place in August.
"Thousands of "road diets" have been implemented across the country, but this is the first in northern Virginia," said VDOT traffic engineer Randy Dittberner. "This stretch of Lawyers Road is an ideal location to implement the plan because one travel lane in each direction can easily handle traffic volumes, even during rush hour, with only a few seconds more delays." Lawyers Road handles about 10,000 vehicles a day between Reston Parkway and Myrtle Lane.
VDOT and Supervisor Hudgins conducted significant outreach, including two community meetings to discuss the proposal and answer resident questions. Public support for the changes is overwhelmingly positive.
