COMICSThere Oughta Be A Cartoon Lloyd Dangle is looking for the funny side of MTBE. To most people, the gasoline additiveonce considered a boon that would make Californias cars run cleaner, but now recognized as a poison that has contaminated groundwater throughout the stateis a depressing and disappointing example of unintended consequences. To cartoonist Dangle, its perfect fodder for his weekly strip, Troubletown, which runs in two dozen newspapers and magazines around the country, as well as the Web magazine Slate. "This is a case of monumental idiocy," Dangle says as he sits in the backyard studio of his Oakland, California, home, mulling over ideas for illustrating the complex crisis in nine panels using scratchy characters and balloon quotes. "I look for the humor on the other side of anger and tragedy."
Environmental issues often fit Dangles criteria as "funny-slash-tragic," including recycled computer monitors (low-paid Third World disassemblers are exposed to the machines toxic insides), hydrogen fuel cells (in one proposal, the newest and cleanest technology will be dependent on one of the oldest and dirtiest, oil), and logging in national forests (timber companies propose clearcutting to "salvage" the forest).
Like any good political cartoonist, Dangle knows to "follow the money," and has found a wealth of material in the Enron bankruptcy and the Bush administrations industry-friendly energy plan. A recent Dangle cartoon shows Enron execs frantically transferring bags of money out of a pipeline and into a truck while an administration official apologetically tells them that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney wont intervene on the companys behalf: "It might give a bad impression . . . especially since they built that pipeline for you."
As he offers me a cup of coffee in an official Troubletown mug ("Kills anthrax on contact!" it proclaims), Dangle tells me his style is to "stay close to whats true, but push it to make it funny." Hell take nuggets of factthe closed-door deliberations and unchecked power of the World Trade Organization, for exampleand explore the absurdities. "Anything that prevents human gene trademarking restricts growth! Saving king salmon stymies export demand!" free-trade leaders assert in Dangles fictive rendition of the 1999 WTO proceedings in Seattle.
An ability to turn the frightening into the laughable is the hallmark of good satire; think Stanley Kubricks romp through the threat of nuclear holocaust in Dr. Strangelove. Taking on the corporate money that flooded the 2000 presidential elections, Dangle coyly worried that "with over $50 million in contributions, its hard for G. W. to remember everybody." Pause. "On the other hand, its easy to remember who didnt pay!" Skewering Bushs boast that his campaign did not accept public funds (because they come with spending caps), Dangles scenario ends with those who fail to contributein Dangles take, public schoolsbeing left in the lurch.
Politics is hardly a spectator sport for Michigan-raised Dangle, who got his start more than 15 years ago at the Flint Voice, the brash alternative paper founded by political satirist Michael Moore. Dangle is president of the Graphic Artists Guild, a 35-year-old union of independent artists that voted to become a United Auto Workers affiliate three years ago. (To herald the alliance, one Troubletown pictures the slight, blonde Dangle at his drafting board, announcing, "I increased my upper body mass by 40 percent and made 750,000 new friends . . . You want a piece of me?") Dangles group relentlessly fights to protect freelance artists copyrights, and recently convinced California to repeal an unfair tax against artists and illustrators.
To Dangle, cartooning balances the seriousness of his politics. "In the end, its entertainment," he says, "so I can delve into things that arent palatable another way." Soon after September 11, he inked a "short history" of Afghanistan, exploring some of the less noble aspects of U.S. foreign-policy decisions. It elicited the most e-mail, praise, and outrage hes ever received. (Dangle was even criticized for being a "heterosexual liberal" after he devoted several strips to the recent birth of his son, Oscar.) He shrugs off the critics, happy that he can provoke thinking about thorny issues in his four-by-five-inch space. Troubletown "is about shared experience, and giving voice to the powerless," Dangle says. And a good laugh. Reed McManus

BOOKS Green Revolution in Economics We need a revolution in economics as radical as the Copernican in physics, warns Worldwatch Institute founder Lester Brown in Eco-Economy: Building an Economy for the Earth, W. W. Norton, $15.95. (See "Power Lunch,") Commercial activity has long been the center of economists attention, with nature left outside most calculations. But now that we have strained, drained, and poisoned the environment more severely and extensively than any time in history, says Brown, our economic universe must be turned inside out, so that we recognize that without the labor of nature at the center, an economy cannot survive. Emphasizing that an economy is sustainable "only if it respects the principles of ecology," Brown cites the environmental causes of the downfall of civilizations from ancient Sumeria to the Mayan empire to Easter Island, noting: "The Sumerians did not know that the New World even existed, much less that it would one day support flourishing civilizations. . . . The Mayans had no idea that Easter Island existed." The crucial difference between todays world and the past is that "each of these civilizations collapsed in isolation, with no effect on the others. But today, in an integrated global economy, a collapse in one country or region will affect all of us."
Finding hope in the fact that the Earth-centered approach is already developing, Brown discusses new, Earth-friendly technologies such as wind power that are proving profitable. He cites innovative economists, including a half-dozen Nobel Prizewinners, who assign value to "ecosystem services," making it possible to literally book swamps, prairies, and deserts as productive assets. Once nature has a line on an accounting sheet, it is easier to protect in a profit-centered society. If, for example, a forested region retains and filters water, economics can price its environmental service in terms of cost of water storage and purification systems.
Precisely this example is used in The New Economy of Nature: The Quest to Make Conservation Profitable, by Gretchen C. Daily and Katherine Ellison, Island Press, $25. Among the many applications of eco-economics explored by Stanford University research scientist Daily and Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist Ellison is that of cleaning New York Citys water supply. Faced with the $8.5 billion cost of constructing a new water purification system, the city determined (after intense political debate) it would be cheaper to protect the vast upstate watershed. This meant allowing the ecosystem itself to do the purificationas it had before intense farming and development overloaded it. The city committed $l.5 billion to protecting land and constructing new storm sewers and septic systems, while also helping farmers limit effluent from their operations.
Eco-economic case studies in The New Economy range from discussions of emissions-trading schemes to assessing the value of uncultivated land as a refuge for native bees that perform multibillion-dollar crop pollination services. The new approach also demands payments for external costs. For example, a tax on polluting emissions is actually a fee to pay for using the atmosphere as a dump, because such use has definite costs in terms of health and environmental impacts.
Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things, by William McDonough and Michael Braungart, North Point Press, $25, expands on McDonoughs arguments in this issue (see "Power Lunch," page 28) that economic growth wont harm the environment if it imitates natural growth. In nature, everything is constantly recycled or even "upcycled," say McDonough, the audacious architect who designed the roof gardens for Chicagos city hall, and Braungart, a chemist and founder of the group that became Germanys Green Party. For them, environmental problems are essentially design problems. "Nature doesnt have a design problem. People do," they assert. From CO2 to Palm Pilots, all production could be designed for total re-entry into the manufacturing cycle without damage. To prove their point, Cradle to Cradle is made from plastic resins and inorganic fillers, which the authors call "technical nutrients" that can be "broken down and circulated infinitely in industrial cyclesmade and remade as paper or other productswithout loss of quality or damage to our environment or ourselves."
Wild Solutions: How Biodiversity Is Money in the Bank, by Andrew Beattie and Paul R. Ehrlich, Yale University Press, $25.95, outlines yet another aspect of ecosystem accounting, by recognizing the value of solutions to technical and medical problems that may reside in the staggering diversity of Earths estimated 5 to 10 million species, only 1.5 million of which have even been identified. Like Mark J. Plotkin in Medicine Quest, biologists Beattie and Ehrlich provide intriguing explanations of the role of natural substances in medicine, pest control, and even manufacturing. Explaining these "wild solutions," Beattie and Ehrlich enter mysterious microfaunal worlds of bacteria visible to the naked eye or fungi that generate such force in cracking a beetles tough exoskeleton that one spore "could lift a school bus with ease" if it were the size of a hand. In the process, they create some inspiring and downright reverent descriptions of insect communities. Speculating on the evolution of a powerful antiseptic in ants glands, they observe that "the research and development time has been approximately 60 million years, millions of prototypes have been tested, and the entire research and development program was free." This is a huge leap from merely pricing raw materials. In this model, values are assigned not to a commodity, but to something immaterialnatures own scientific knowledge.
True, some environmentalists may recoil from eco-economic ideas. The privatization and quantification of natural services described by Brown may seem sacrilegious. Others will cringe to hear Daily and Ellison say that "establishing ownership of natural capital and services allows bargaining between those affected by an externality and those causing it." Cradle to Cradles approach may be seen to encourage a neglect of politics in favor of gee-whiz technofixes. And whither the rainforest if we dont happen to scrounge enough miracle drugs to make it pay? Moreover, one can imagine all sorts of creative new profiteering scams, as always occurs with new forms of technology and ownership. The mere thought of a Ken Lay trading ant-gland or fungi futures should suffice to put even the perkiest utopian on alert.
Despite such reservations, given the magnitude of the crisis recognized by these authors, we have no choice but eco-economics. And well probably have to rely on old-fashioned gut feelings, common sense, and just plain awe to keep natures new accountants honest. Bob Schildgen
AT A GLANCE Bears of Alaska by Erwin and Peggy Bauer Sasquatch Books, $15.95 What looks like a brown bear brawl is actually some rather rambunctious courtship behavior, say the authors, whose photographs frequently appear in these pages. Some 70 other remarkable images show bears in equally vigorous actionand in moments of enviable relaxation, too.

The (Surprising) Truth About Salt
By Rachael Moeller Gorman
Special Offers
Indeed, a 2003 in-depth review of the evidence and a soon-to-be-published update that analyzed the research on many of these factors found that low sodium affects multiple systems in our body: As the mineral goes down, levels of cholesterol, triglyceride, renin, and other health indicators go up. The resulting health effects are not yet known. Coauthor Dr. Graudal concludes his report: "The magnitude of the effect in Caucasians with normal blood pressure does not warrant a general recommendation to reduce sodium intake." Another recent meta-analysis from British researchers led by Lee Hooper, Ph.D., at the University of East Anglia arrived at a similar conclusion: "Intensive interventions, unsuited to primary care or population prevention programs, provide only minimal reductions in blood pressure during long-term trials." Translation: For people with normal blood pressure, drastic salt reductions aren't necessary, and they probably won't work.
"I wish the magic bullet were true; I wish it were that simple," says Dr. Alderman. "But it is naive to assume that you can go from an effect on blood pressure, pretend the others don't exist, and then extrapolate what the optimal benefit might be. That's a hope, or faith, but it's not science."
"Do you know the Danish tale The Emperor's New Clothes?" says Dr. Graudal. "I think I and a few others are the boy saying the emperor hasn't got any clothes on."
Experimental Americans
Doing a clinical trial would answer many of the lingering questions. If we were certain that lowering salt reduced cardiovascular disease in the general population, we could adopt policies like the one spearheaded by New York City with a clear conscience. But some researchers say that a trial would be either a waste of time, too expensive, unethical, or impossible. "The possibility of a randomized controlled trial is not likely in the future," says rear admiral Penelope Slade-Sawyer, a deputy assistant secretary for health in the Department of Health and Human Services, who helped put together the Dietary Guidelines 2005. "It would be terrifically expensive, and I really don't think it's necessary." Dr. Angell notes, "One would argue at this point [that a trial is] unethical given all the amassed data that shows that high sodium is associated with high blood pressure and high blood pressure is associated with heart attack and stroke."
Yet without such studies and definitive proof of benefit, we all become test subjects. "It's an experiment any way you do it, whether it's on 300 million people [via public policy] or on 10,000 [in a randomized controlled trial]," says Dr. Alderman. It has happened before. Decades ago, Dr. Cohen notes, when studies suggested that saturated fat was bad for our cardiovascular systems, we were encouraged to cut it from our diets. Manufacturers and restaurants switched to partially hydrogenated oils instead of animal products, and families started eating margarine instead of butter. "It was 20 years or more before scientists realized that in propagandizing people to eliminate butter from their diet and replace it with stick margarine and trans fats, we might be doing more harm than good," says Dr. Cohen. Those trans fats have proved worse for our hearts than butter's saturated fat.
There are other examples: Tobacco companies added filters to cigarettes and created "light" cigarettes to make them healthier, but people just puffed harder or smoked more, and kept inhaling carcinogens and additives. In the 1950s, doctors told women to limit their weight gain during pregnancy to avoid preeclampsia (high blood pressure, fluid retention, and kidney problems), resulting in an increased number of underweight babies and infant deaths; more recently, the Dietary Guidelines encouraged Americans to eat low-fat foods and more carbohydrates, and now researchers believe this has contributed to obesity. "Respected authorities instituted reasonable ideas without having the evidence to know whether their policies might backfire," Dr. Alderman wrote in a February 2009 editorial in the New York Times.
Perhaps the best example involves hormone replacement therapy. Doctors gave HRT to women during and after menopause because replacing the estrogen lost during menopause made logical sense and was intuitively appealing (let's make women "young" again), and observational studies suggested that women who took hormones had a 40 to 50 percent reduction in coronary heart disease risk compared with nonusers. Even though no large-scale randomized controlled trials had ever been done, doctors had "a nearly unshakable belief in the benefits of hormone therapy," wrote two doctors in a 2003 opinion piece in the New England Journal of Medicine enough to suspend normal standards for preventive treatments, like proof from a trial.
When the first trials conducted on HRT failed to show a benefit for the heart, they were criticized and even disregarded. But when researchers finally did a big clinical study, part of the Women's Health Initiative (a large study initiated by the National Institutes of Health to look at cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other common causes of death and disability in postmenopausal women), it turned out that the estrogen-plus-progestin treatment actually increased the risk of heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, and breast cancer, while estrogen alone increased the risk of stroke and blood clots.

Imagine a world free from human trafficking - this is the vision of 3Strands. Our mission is to mobilize a worldwide community of individuals and organizations to positively change lives by investing in sustainable initiatives that fight human trafficking. Imagine this 3Strands worldwide community that invests the collective resources to help organizations already engaged in the fight with sustainable initiatives that creates jobs. Imagine individuals, organizations, corporations and non-profits, all coming together sharing and collaborating communities towards the common goal of a world free from human trafficking. We are stronger together than apart – one strand is weak, but three strands woven together into a cord is strong. By ourselves, we are just a whisper, but together we become a roar that can't be denied. Imagine millions of us coming together shouting that sex trafficking is NOT OK, millions coming together to join the fight offering our time, talent and treasures – that is strength, that is community, that is resources, that is distribution and that is what 3Strands is called to do. Please take a moment to learn more and help us roar by adding your voice of support. Take the first step by simply agreeing with us that human trafficking is NOT OK. Join the Commit to Freedom Community. WHY? Because we will not accept the status quo. We will not accept evil. We will not close our eyes and pretend it doesn't exist or affect us. Human trafficking is NOT OK and we believe everyone can make a difference. 3Strands is a California based 501c3 nonprofit organization. EIN# 46-4128744. We began in 2011 by partnering with Agape International Missions (AIM) www.agapewebsite.org to open training centers in Cambodia for girls rescued from human trafficking and restored through AIM's proven program. Girls rescued from human trafficking need well paying, sustainable jobs so they can reintegrate back into their community with honor and dignity. The Agape Employment Center (AEC) is a small jewelry and apparel production center unlike any we know of in the world. Instead of the typical 12-hour shift in horrible working conditions, the girls attend the AEC eight hours a day. During that time, they receive counseling and educational services as well as meals and medical benefits. Their salaries are 3 – 4 times higher than what the typical garment factory pays. Click Here to Shop Now! In January 2014, 3Strands acquired the distribution rights for the Nepal Mission Bracelets previously distributed by Fair Trade Fashion Designs. These beautiful glass beaded bracelets each have one red bead (see the Scarlet Seed Story) somewhere in the design. The tradition and artistry of Nepali glass beads met Western fashion, flair and distribution when 3Strands began working with the skilled Nepali women artisans. Although artists and craftswomen in their own rights, financial sustainability still did not exist for these women, their families or their communities. 3Strands brought new designs, distribution opportunities and the women of Nepal are paid well above market rate for their craft, giving them much needed income to provide for their families and most importantly, provide an alternative to sex-trafficking. Additionally, there is a new sense of pride, prestige and a hope for the future that comes with earning a livable wage. Click Here to Shop Now! The initial bracelet line originating in Cambodia had a red seed featured on all 3Strands bracelets. The red seed is significant to our cause and can be discovered if one looks into the seed pods, which grow on Sandalwood trees, native to Cambodia. The colorless pods eventually dry up and fall to the ground and are forgotten, stepped over like trash as they blow away in the wind. To Don Brewster, the founder of AIM, these pods are representative of how the Cambodian culture sees a child coming out of a brothel – as trash. But inside these dried up pods are beautiful, glossy, scarlet seeds that in their natural beauty, represents the beauty in each of the girls who have been freed, loved and empowered with a hope for the future. So it began in Cambodia, a vision of one red seed or representative red bead in every product that 3Strands offers reminding them and us of their beauty within. Our values represent our collective beliefs about what is most important to further the fight against human trafficking. Value: We believe every person is of value and human trafficking is NOT OK. Making a Difference: We believe every person and organization has the ability to make a difference and we are committed to collaboration, cooperation and building our strength in numbers. Integrity: Our words and actions are driven by integrity. This includes mutual respect, generosity, honesty, forgiveness, humility, sincerity, morality, righteousness and a commitment to perform our work in the highest ethical manner possible. Societal Change: We believe human trafficking is a symptom of greater societal problems such as lack of education, poverty, greed, power and cultural morals and are committed to making a difference on these fronts. Respect: We respect and support our employees and allies and will not work with any company that supports or uses child labor. Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs Q. How is 3Strands linked to Apricot Lane Boutiques? A. The founders of 3Strands are the same founders who own Apricot Lane boutique, a successful U.S. chain of franchised women's fashion boutiques, with 100+ stores in 34 States. When the CEO, Ken Petersen became connected with AIM, he asked the Founder, Don Brewster what he needed most. Don replied, "jobs". It is a good paying job that helps the rescued girls to reintegrate back into their communities with dignity and self-esteem in a culture that considers them trash after being in the human trafficking trade. Ken went to his franchise system and asked if they could support such a difficult issue as a retail chain and they all agreed that they would make this issue their primary cause and join the fight against human trafficking.
A. By spreading the awareness of 3Strands and the mission behind it we are creating awareness of the evils of this horrific crime in hopes of rescuing even more girls as time goes on and leading them to a life of freedom, love and empowerment.

Hurricanes Have 25-1 Odds to Win Next Year's Championship, According Vegas
Categories: Sports
It's also, well, odd considering the chances the Miami Hurricanes will probably be suffering a bowl ban next season are at least 1-1.
RJ Bell at Pregame.com gave the 'Canes 25-1 odds. Too put that in perspective, that ties them with Oklahoma. Georgia has worse 30-1 odds, while Notre Dame had slightly better 20-1 odds. Florida and Florida State each have 15-1 odds.
Bovada.lv also released odds today, and again have the 'Canes at 25-1, again tied with Oklahoma. In their view, Notre Dame has 22-1 odds, while UF and FSU each have 14-1.
By rank, Miami would be tied with Oklahoma for the 12th best odds by both.
Remember though, betting odds, especially this early on, are based more on what bets bookies think the public are willing to take rather than any sort of in-depth analysis of a team. For them it's all about picking the odds that are guaranteed to make them money. For all we know, this just means they maybe think there's a lot of gullible 'Canes fans out there who like to gamble.
Yes, everyone expects Al Golden's young Hurricanes squad to get better with age, but we doubt, for instance, they'll start out ranked as high 12th on any preseason polls. In fact, in the few way, way too early page-view baiting unofficial ranking listicles that have already been published, the 'Canes are nowhere to be seen.
Plus, you know, there's that entire matter of the NCAA investigation. So, we'd probably better wait until any sanctions are handed down before making any bets.

Back in December 2008, just 3-4 months after I began blogging, I created this Colonial Williamsburg style centerpiece for a Christmas party I had coming up. I also used it for our Christmas table that year. I make this centerpiece almost every Christmas. It has to be my all time favorite Christmas table centerpiece. Sorry about the awful photography.

After a five-year absence from the United States, Formula One racing was greeted by packed grandstands and an incredible atmosphere as it arrived at its new Texan home, the spectacular Circuit of The Americas (COTA) in Austin. Some of those closest to the inaugural event explain why Sundays Grand Prix was the start of something big
Rick Perry, Governor of the State of Texas:
It is a great day for the country and America is again starting to embrace Formula One like it has never done before. From an economic standpoint we have been looking at Formula One for three years now - and regarding the outcome of this race my bottom line was let the best man win. Why it took Texan entrepreneurs to bring Formula One back to the US? Well, I think it is not such an extraordinary concept in the first decade of the 21st century to have economic developments like this. Texas has been driving this train for the last 12 years now. To bring Formula One to Texas was just one aspect of that concept. Of course, I have to say that Red McCombs is indeed a very farsighted gentleman, a visionary entrepreneur who at eighty-plus years is just as dynamic now as he was in his thirties! God knows what hell doing when he is in his nineties
(laughs) I am still a freshman when it comes to Formula One. I was at the Italian Grand Prix last September promoting this race and the excitement that this is the inaugural race, the excitement that this is happening in Texas, the excitement that this is the first ever purpose-built Formula One track in the United States makes this a very, very unique experience. It was quite a show today and I am already pretty much hooked on this sport.
Adrian Newey, Red Bulls chief technical officer:
It is fantastic. A good circuit and I would dare a bet in saying that this is going to be one of the favourite races in the future. There seems to be a huge enthusiasm - full grandstands, incredible vibes - so I would say that Formula One has again arrived in the USA.
Mario Andretti, 1978 Formula One world champion:
Wow, I think this is the start of something beautiful to come. The drivers like the circuit and the fans really go with it. There is so much enthusiasm that I predict that this is the just beginning of something still bigger in this big country. I am so proud of my people today. I never had any doubt that the Formula One fan base is very much underestimated in the States and today was the proof, because I think that no one would have believed that you have such a terrific audience. Formula One is back in the USA!
Patrick Dempsey, actor, star of Greys Anatomy:
I am a huge fan of Formula One so it was certain that I would be here today. It was a fantastic race and I think it is great for Formula One in this country, as this was a faultless race on a state-of-the-art track. I think the Austiners understood the order of the day to get the race to their hometown - and I think Austin is a good fit for Formula One. Today was my second race - and boy am I proud to be here.
Hermann Tilke, COTA designer:
That was quite a race. If you plan a track you hope that it will turn out that way, but you can never really be sure. So its a big stone off my chest, as it shows that if you give the fans what they like they will follow you anywhere. And the drivers really delivered - there was action all over the place. (laughs) Corner one really did the job - the perfect spot for inviting overtaking. The fans were simply awesome - they stayed until the very end which is a huge compliment in the US. (laughs) Hats off to Bernie Ecclestone - it was a masterstroke to come here to Texas and try to sweep the US from here.
Sergio Marchionne, Fiat CEO:
It was a fantastic day for Formula One - state-of-the-art racetrack, enthusiastic fans and an exciting race. I am pleased to be here today having witnessed the triumphant return of Formula One to the United States. Personally I always love to come to Texas - so this was killing two birds with one stone.

Administrative Expungements
Mistaken Arrests Can Be Expunged
Last Updated: June 29, 2014
The administrative expungement process is less formal and less structured than a regular expungement. Because of this, administrative expungements are harder to predict. Administrative expungements address arrests that were made due to mistake.
Criminal records caused by mistaken arrests can be expunged (Authority: § 943.0581, Fla. Stat.). An administrative expungement deals strictly with arrests that were made due to error or mistake by the arresting agency not because the State could not prove the charges. These types of arrests are for mistakes of fact. Do not confuse this type of criminal record expungement with one that addresses a dismissal or acquittal of the charges. See, regular expungement.
Two-part Expungement Process
An Administrative expungement only affects non-judicial records. This means that, if the arrest went on to be a criminal case in the courts, a separate request must be made to try and get the court records sealed.
Administrative Expungements Are More Involved Than Regular Expungements
Administrative Expungements are not limited in number or by duration of time since arrest. However, administrative expungements are complicated and can take more time to complete than most people expect. Because each case is a subjective undertaking, there is no defined time limits on how long a petition for an administrative expunction can take.
An administrative expungement can originate from the arresting agency or the person who was arrested. Supporting endorsements must accompany the application.

In 1930, Josephine Baker, one of my heroes, stepped onstage and sang, "J'ai deux amours, mon pays et Paris." ("I have two loves: my country and Paris.") Parisians knew American and resident performer Baker exclusively for her exotic looks and frenetic dancing, but the song soon became one of her other signatures.
Here in 2012, signs have started popping up around the city. Written, not in the Art Deco lettering of Josephine's heyday, but a currently stylish electronica-type font, they read, simply: J'ai deux amours. Additionally, a poster for an exhibit called "Paris en Chansons" (Paris in Song), tracing the history of songs about the city, features a photo of Josephine holding a microphone and smiling, perhaps singing her famous tune.
Spring has come to Paris. The streets are more crowded. Every type of Parisian can be seen on the sidewalks, seeming to linger in in this new, gentle warmth: perfectly-coiffed bourgeois women, smelly bums, cane-bearing seniors hobbling slowly but happily along, kids just out of school, people-watchers sitting smoking at café terraces, grinning dogs, city workers trailing their green plastic street-sweeping brooms as they take in the view. Buds are blooming on the trees, and in the hours before dawn you can hear sparrows' sweet twitters in the midst of pigeons' throaty coos. There's a new, fresh smell in the air, and monuments and Haussmannian buildings shine soft gold in the slightly stronger sunlight.
It's hard to leave when the city is like this. It's always hard to leave Paris, in fact. But as I prepare for a two and a half week trip to the States, those posters are strangely fitting. They remind me that I also have two beloved places in my life. America is where my family and childhood friends are. It's where I can eat some of my favorite foods, connect to my history, catch up with loved ones. It's a place where I can walk down the breezy streets of New York again and feel that incredible energy mixed with nostalgia for my college days, when friends were like family. It's a place of easy comforts, air conditioning, cheap mani-pedi's, and free bathrooms in just about any big store.
I don't love America the way I love Paris. I love America for who and what is there, but I love Paris in its entirety. Josephine Baker had her ties to her home country, as well, but she loved France with a fierceness I can understand. During the Second World War, Baker slightly changed the lyrics to her famous song. Now, it became "J'ai deux amours, mon pays c'est Paris." ("I have two loves, my country, it's Paris").
Paris is my beloved place and my country. I'm happier here than anywhere else in the world. But those posters' bold colors stand out in the pastel air of early springtime, drawing my eye. J'ai deux amours.
Thank for being willing to share something from the heart.
alot of us don't. we wander hither and yon
waiting for the Spirit of Place to plant us, but
we are too worried about our basic needs,
shelter especially,
and thus make compromises with our soul.
Our soul yearns for just the right place, in order to feed.
I have been nowhere . i live 2 miles from where i grew up.
This place is mine. A suburban monstrosity, certainly.
Suburb to the ugliest city in America, Hartford
(where wallace stevens found his place)
but ...
my family came in 1947.
those are the roots i plant.
places where dad said, "oh, it used to be different , etc"
or the old silk mills (Manchester =the silk capital of the world!)
where he supplied candy to the workers' candy machines
("I was the candy man!" he boasted)
in the mills, now yuppie apartments.
America will always be here for you to come home to.
But Paris has stolen your Light, alas!
I am embarrassingly excited about this meetup. You better have a safe trip, Alysa! I'm too proud to beg, but beg I must: Please, take as much pictures as possible and urge all the lovely others to do the same. Text and video also pleeeeeeeeeze.
Have a great time on your trip back to your maiden home.
See you in two days, Alysa. Wow!

Burn this Journal!: Reconstruction, the Value of Information, and the Future of the Journal Davin Heckman, Sarah Hildebrandt, R. Stewart Varner, and Matthew Wolf-Meyer In theory, academic publishing is about active participation
in a community of scholars. In practice, academic publishing is about
gaining status
by getting something printed in the most static venue possible. At its
worst, the Journal is an insider's club where gatekeepers tag select
works for limited circulation, and scholars humbly submit to this hierarchy.
For cultural studies scholars, many of whom make a great show about their "radical" politics,
the limitations of the print journal should provoke some reflection.
Instead of asking how we as scholars actively participate in replicating
the economy of prestige at the price of knowledge, we get comfortable
with the culture of the Academy. We start to believe our own hype. Reconstructing Commerce The notion that information, and wisdom, should be
paid for, as emblematized in the traditional academic journal, is utterly
ridiculous, soaked in
hubris, and ultimately harmful. Information, particularly that which
is meant to educate and has the ability to charge its readers with insight
and activity, should not only be made free, but accessible, interactive,
and known. The spirit of capitalism that has infused the academic pursuits
of the twentieth century must be eradicated if there is any hope for
the future of scholarship, particularly as scholarship becomes, in the
wake of feminism, more acutely personal in nature. And more so as scholarship
works to critique the culture which has spawned it. As such, all information
contained within Reconstruction, although it will retain the copyright
of its author, will remain free and accessible—other journals that
insist on payment will slowly atrophy and eventually fail, as their eyes
and minds turn ever inward in the downward spiral of intellectual decay,
while journals that impart interactivity among the contributors and the
readers, in such venues as message boards and chattrooms, will flourish
and become the inheritors of the intellectual potential of humanity. Reconstructing the Scholar Scholars should be willing to confront the reactions of their audience,
and to counter with insight and arguments of their own: information should
not be dispensed, but acted out. As such, the articles that are to be
found in Reconstruction are only the first part of a process of informing.
Readers should feel willing, and able, to respond to the writer through
our message boards and know that not only will other readers respond
to them, but also the writers themselves. Education cannot happen in
a void, and it is only through this form of intellectual interaction
that we will be able to impart on readers a proper understanding of the
project of Reconstruction and the meaning and possibilities contained
within each of the intellectual efforts contained herein. Reconstruction Continues One of the immediate issues of this project has been
the acquisition of a system of apparent politics. By this we mean that
the editorial
decisions behind publishing an article are as much a matter of the interest
level of the subject matter being treated by the author as of a sympathetic
alignment on the part of the editors affiliated with this project to
the politics of the author—or the author's own apparent politics.
As such, what conspires to occur is a borrowing of borrowed politics:
We construct a political face out of the components given to us by others,
who are themselves borrowing from other writers, who in turn have borrowed
their own politics (and by "politics" we mean to imply everything
from the matter of language choice to the scholarly interest of the author
and his or her methodology). These are careful decisions that need to
be made, for in these formative years a relationship between this journal
and the world that it lives in must be founded, as well as a reputation
among its readership (or potential readership): It simply wouldn't
be appropriate to pigeonhole ourselves as a Marxist effort, or a psychoanalytic
one, nor with any other possible theoretical concern—Reconstruction
is meant to be, and will continue to be, interdisciplinary, but also
inter-methodological, inter-theoretical, and inter-spatial. Davin Heckman, Sarah Hildebrandt, R. Stewart Varner, and Matthew Wolf-Meyer are the editors of the radical on-line journal Reconstruction, which can be found at www.reconstruction.ws. Iowa Journal of Cultural Studies 1 (Spring 2002) |

Sixty-Five Marathons – And Still Going Strong!
On July 26, 2013 @ 9:00 am In All Articles,What's New?
"I seemed to be dodging every other person on the street because each time I inhale smoke, it makes me react just a little bit more and more," she says.
Mikki has had asthma since she was a child. In addition to smoke, it's set off by animal dander, air pollution and cold or dry weather. Growing up in Wisconsin and going to college in Massachusetts, the cold weather was most difficult to avoid. When she moved to Houston and turned to running to cope with the stress of graduate school, she found the warm weather easy on her lungs.
Sixty-five marathons, a PhD and three children later, she's still going!
Mikki has joined Team AANMA 2013 for the 38th Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C. It will be her first time running this event. She is one of few athletes to join the 50 States Marathon Club – and run a marathon in all 50 states. (AANMA Board of Directors member Brooke Curran, who also has asthma, joins that elite group this October!)
"Most people who run have some sort of goal," Mikki explains. "I had run marathons in seven states when I heard about the club and thought it would be super amazing to reach the 10 states required to join. Then it just became so much fun to do them and see the country one state at a time! It took 15 years to do it, with three babies in between."
Mikki works hard to keep her asthma under control. She takes an inhaled corticosteroid daily and uses albuterol before each race. She avoids marathons that include cold, dry weather and monitors her breathing closely.
"I've had to cancel out a couple of times because I was having an exacerbation and I knew I wouldn't make it," Mikki says. "And I know I wouldn't do well running in a different country where my body is not used to the pollutants."
Her doctor has recommended she restart allergy immunotherapy this summer, due to an increase in exacerbations in recent years.
"Sports that are slow and steady, like swimming and running, have been very good for me – not sprints, but a slow jog with methodic breathing," Mikki says.
Her advice to others? "When I am in shape, breathing is easier," she says. "I encourage those with asthma to consult with a doctor, start slow and build up slowly. Listen to your body and your breathing, and don't worry about how fast you run a race."
Follow Mikki and members of Team AANMA as they train for and run the Marine Corps Marathon: www.aanma.org/mcm. Cheer them on from our rally point on race day or follow @AANMA on Twitter for real-time updates.

I often think too much for my own good. today i found myself thinking about the ever on going debates about the meaning of life. my viewpoint on the matter is "it should remain unsolved"
"Not Knowing" keeps our minds thinking and when we think we create, discover, and innovate. if we were to solve every equation, answer every question, or fix every problem. life would be pointless. making the entire search for the meaning of life then pointless. mystery keeps us going. With new creations, innovations, and discoveries, we receive new ways to indulge and enjoy our life.
I had a dream that I was friends with Mitch and Lass once again. We were sitting around Mitch's computer making jokes. Could it be an omen?
I'm going with my friend H to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix tomorrow! Yay! Plus, I haven't seen H ever since the last day of school, so it's gonna be neat. I hope she likes the new haircut I got a couple of weeks ago. :D
Oh, and I wanted to post this video, because Roy Zimmerman is awesome:
Hello Peeplz.
First I have to say that I am very sorry for not posting on Forums for a very long time.
There, now that that's out, I'll continue on to business.

Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge, a rather small boy, lives next door to a nursing home in which resides Miss Nancy Alison Delacourt Cooper, his favorite friend, because she has four names as well. When Miss Nancy "loses" her memory, the intrepid Wilfrid sets out to find it for her. Full color.
Praise for Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge…
"For a topic often spoken of in euphemism, the author has displayed warmth, wit and dignity without being sappy. The spongeable cover and dreamy watercolors complement this uplifting tale."
The Los Angeles Times
"A wonderful tale that celebrates both the exuberance of childhood and the dignity of old age."
The Boston Sunday Globe
"The illustrations splashy, slightly hazy watercolors in rosy pastels contrast the boy's fidgety energy with his friends' slow, careful movements and capture the story's warmth and sentiment."

Georgia-Pacific had originally planned to lay-off more than 400 employees, but thanks to the success of two pilot programs 125 people still have jobs.
Trucks are still coming and going at Georgia-Pacific's plant in Whiteville.
The company will keep 50 jobs in the lumber mill and 75 in it's plywood operation courtesy two job saving pilot programs, that Georgia-Pacific wouldn't describe for competitive reasons.
Spokesperson Julie Davis said, "What I can tell you is that we are glad that we have been able to keep parts of the facility running and at least keep some of our folks employed.>
Still the lay-offs leave 275 people without jobs, but that number is an improvement.
Many are turning to Southeastern Community College's job link program to gain some perspective and direction.
Gloria Perry, job link case manager said, "Whenever they leave they feel like they've been helped, they feel like some of their questions have been answered, they feel like they have enough information to know where they want to start." She said many are choosing to go back to school for job training.
Columbus County director of economic development Justin Smith said they'll be able to put those skills to work in Whiteville. "We are talking with several businesses right now that are in different stages of the site selection process. But they're all interested in locating in the Southeast Regional Park right here off of Highway 74."
As for the future of the Georgia-Pacific plant, Davis said, "We certainly look forward to the time when the housing market improves and we are able to more fully ramp operations back up."
The 125 jobs are about one-fourth of the normal employment at Georgia-Pacific. Smith said Columbus County is happy the company was able to save any jobs at all.

I have just used my car this morning to get into work and put heater on as it was cold. No heat came at all even though the engine was up to temp.
Any ideas as to what the problem is and is it a garage repair or can I do it myself (i can prob manage minor fixes - nothing too complicated!)
Any help appreciated.

Just Relax�
Let e-go do the work
Manoeuvre your caravan effortlessly with the e-go electric remote control system.
The e-go has been designed and developed without compromise. The concept was simple � to build a caravan mover with emphasis on uniting precision engineering and innovative product features � a winning combination that makes the e-go the perfect choice.
A direct power train, lightweight alloy gearbox drives the wheel rollers smoothly and positively, without the power loss associated with chain driven systems.
Roller wheel engagement is simple and effortless when using a cordless drill, and the engagement tool provided can also be used to operate your caravan corner steadies.
The e-go remote control system incorporates soft-start technology, which lets you manoeuvre your caravan with pin-point accuracy in any direction � forwards, backwards or complete 360? rotations.
Designed to be as small and strong as possible, the e-go combines high grade, light weight materials with high output, low gear motors. These features make the e-go the perfect choice.
Cross-actuation allows you to engage both rollers from either side of the caravan at the same time, useful when parking your caravan next to a wall or hedge.
Shipping costs are �17.00 for Mainland UK. Shipping to Northern Ireland, Ireland, the Shetland Islands requires a �30.00 supplement.
Caravan Plus recommends the UK's leading Caravan Motor Mover fitting company Autowfix to fit your caravan mover. Autowfix provide a full fitting service and a 5 year parts & labour warranty for only �125.00 plus VAT. Please ring 01159 300007 or see www.autowfix.com for details.

Why was the report written? Marketers in the Beer, Cider & Pre-mixed Spirits market face a major challenge. Understanding market size and segmentation is valuable, but the key to effective targeting is knowing just how valuable specific consumer groups are, and being able to quantify the impact of consumer trends. This data report solves these problems by providing survey-based data on consumer trends and consumer groups, and market data that shows the exact size of consumer groups, how much of the Beer, Cider & Pre-mixed Spirits market they account for, and which consumer trends drive their behavior. What is the current market landscape and what is changing? As consumer confidence increases with economic recovery, consumer trends will be directly affected. Since the global financial crisis of 2008–2009 the organized retail market has been characterized by an increase in the amount of discounted and own-brand products. Beer &Ale, Flavoured Alcoholic Beverages, Lager, and Low Alcohol Beer & Lager are not considered essential items and therefore consumption patterns have been negatively affected. As economic and market recovery continues over 2012, consumption patterns will record a positive trend in both the medium and heavy frequency bands and the amount of non-users should decrease. What are the key drivers behind recent market changes? Consumers' uptake of products and the influence of consumer trends are fundamental causes of change in markets – making knowing what these trends are and the extent of their influence crucial. The survey-based data provided in this report examines over 20 consumer trends that affect the market and examines the share of consumption across 26 consumer groups. This data provides a detailed insight into exactly who the consumer is and just how much impact the latest consumer trends are having. What makes this report unique and essential to read? The data provided is unique in the market as it tracks consumer behavior through to its actual value impact on a product market. This provides readers with a unique data analysis of the market, allowing marketing tactics and strategy to be updated in line with the very latest consumer behaviors. Buy online from $0

4 Relentlessly readable...PaulMount1 | 11/07/2007 | See all PaulMount1's reviews (3)Sometimes it's nice just to settle back with a fast and furious, aciton-packed, tense thriller. 'Relentless' fits the bill. It doesn't pause for breath from page one, the plot twisting and turning and the story peppered with enough set pieces to make a Bruce Willis movie blush. Highly-recommended throwaway Summer reading.
5 fantastic!morkat | 20/07/2008 | See all morkat's reviews (1)So many twists and turns in this story that it keeps you guesing to almost the end. Fantastic read and i plan to buy more of Kernwicks books. Hard to put down! Love to c some of his books made into a film.
5 Brilliant!AdamIsAFoot | 20/10/2007 | See all AdamIsAFoot's reviews (34)im not a huge book fan to be honest but this book blew me away!I bought it for a holiday but unfortunately i had finished it within a few days as i just couldnt put it down.A real page turner, with some interesting twists that just cannot be predicted. A great buy for anyone
5 Amazing!!gclarke1985 | 18/08/2007 | See all gclarke1985's reviews (1)Not a big reader to be honest, but I saw this book advertised at the train station and it caught my eye!Loved it from start to finish, I read it over a two week period only because I read it late at night and kept falling asleep.It has got me interested in reading again, and I will definitely buy more of Kernick's books!
5 Relentless - Brilliant!PrincessRose | 13/07/2007 | See all PrincessRose's reviews (4)What a fast action book. All set in 48 hours and what a lot they packed in. Couldn't put it down - had to - but didn't want to. I read it in 36 hours and then wanted to start it again. Not a great literary classic but perfect summer reading if you don't want a girlie novel. Will certainly keep my eye out for more of this author's books. So many twists and turns. Highly recommended.
