The Spinning Babies approach is dynamic, holistic, anecdotal, and grassroots. But is it evidence-based? Some hospital nurses adapt Spinning Babies techniques into their care, while others are told that this must first be proved by evidence. Is that fair? If US maternity were evidence-based, we'd have a cesarean rate below 15%. Breech babies would be allowed to be born, and there would be a doula in every birthing suite. What's really going on?
It would be nice to have some research on all of the Spinning Babies recommendations and the suggested techniques. My arms are open and waiting for grad students who want to take on some of the successful techniques shared at Spinning Babies. Yet, I can't wait to address the needs of birthing women until after someone does the research on the Spinning Babies approach to childbirth. I can only be non-interventive and request that women work openly with their doctors and midwives about these techniques.
The biggest challenge is that young researchers are pressured to begin with literature reviews - to look at what has already been studied before beginning something new. The next challenge is that to get a technique studied, a student has to get their advisor and senior researchers to pick a technique that is easy to replicate, teach parents and/or nurses to do it and to know when to do it, and to be able to track the results easily. Now do you know why hands-and-knees and sidelying are studied over and over? But we know we need more facts about more techniques!
Researcher Brene' Brown describes some of the quirks of research in her first TED talk.
My husband, Vic Froehlich, is a retired hardware engineer and software programmer for Super Computers. He said the reason he and the team he worked with for Control Data and then General Dynamic had to make "new stuff" is that what existed in computer engineering didn't work for their purposes. Acknowledging it was engineering, not science, he still made the valid point that, in an existing system, people know what they learned in school. In the existing system there often isn't motivation to learn something new, because they have a system and the system works (for them).They will research more about waht they already "know" and see what they can learn about what they are doing, but that's not exactly new. That's an expansion of what is conventional. It isn't even clear that the medical system is working, he notes, knowing that US maternal morbidity and mortality is rising with the rising cesarean rate.
His point is well taken. Since the medical system has a method of dealing with babies that "won't come out" there really isn't a lot of motivation to study new approaches. Their system of intervening on obstructed labor is economical for the hospitals and reduces the time staff spends with patients.
Control studies seek to compare a limited number of variables against a control group. That's why studying a living approach such as Spinning Babies will be a difficult endeavor in the typical university medical education setting. Let's change that.
Some of these techniques have been studied, but not in the manner in which I present them. That will make the study findings less than useful to our purposes. One example of that is the Karaminia's study on pelvic rocking in the hands and knees position, see article in this section.
If you are a medical researcher, doctor, student or midwife with an interest in doing research to advance Optimal Fetal Positioning, Maternal Positioning, and/or any of the Spinning Babies Principles or recommendations, please contact me. Let's discuss something that is doable within your study parameters.
These research topics show promise:
- The 30-second forward-leaning inversion
- Teaching Parents Belly Mapping 20-minutes before a late pregnancy ultrasound and comparing their "map" with the ultrasound image.
- Sidelying (pelvic floor) release and its effect on birth outcomes for asynclitic babies?
- The ROT baby and the route of rotation in comparison with the LOT baby.
- The frequency of ROT or OP fetal positions at the onset of labor compared to LOT or LOA/OA baby these days?
- How frequent is the ROA position at the start of labor among first time mothers?
These are answers I'd like to know! What do you want to study? Please message me on my Facebook or send me an email.
People are asking,
"What is the comparative accuracy rate between the kick, bulge, and movement techniques of [Belly Mapping], the palpations of a doc or midwife, and an ultrasound?"
My reply, sadly, is, no one has done a study on Belly Mapping's comparative accuracy to either palpation by an experienced provider or an ultrasound. This is something I've discussed briefly with a couple of medical students and nurses who have contacted me with an interest in Spinning Babies' potential research topics. However, until I can actually work with a group who are actually able to conduct the research we won't know.
Meanwhile, a provider's skill in palpation varies widely, as do womens' bodies (thickness, tension, amniotic fluid levels, placental location, etc.). These would be the variables effecting efficiency of palpation which would complicate such an analysis.
Several studies show that physician examination of fetal sutures is from 40-60% accurate when compared to ultrasound. We've also seen that ultrasound is not 100% either, due to images that are hard to interpret (as Lieberman discusses in her 2005 study) or due to inconsistency in human interpretation of an "underwater" ultrasound image (as I've noted through observation).
Come aboard. Plan a research study with me. I've been using some of these techniques for 20 years or so. We can find one that fits your study needs. And, they're fun!

Question of ownership and legality "only part of the picture"
In a recent interview with the international news program Worldfocus, SAFE president Cindy Ho spoke about the controversy over the Parthenon sculptures (or "Elgin marbles"). Acknowledging the fact that SAFE focuses on looting of a nature other than what has been commonly ascribed to Lord Elgin, Ho used the opportunity to reiterate that the question of ownership and legality regarding cultural heritage is "only part of the picture".
The question of ownership has been explored by SAFECORNER previously in the post To own or not to own: Is that the question? a distraction from the bigger issue: the discovery of our yet-unknown past through the proper excavation and protection of, ancient sites and tombs and burial grounds.
"Objects ripped out of the ground without proper documentation leave us voids of information that can never be filled. No paperwork can ever replace this loss." Ho said, alluding to the legal debate over Elgin's acquisition.
Speaking about long-term loans as a solution to home countries that are not in the position to maintain their cultural property Ho added, "But cooperation and sharing will need to depend on the quality of relationships between nations and their cultural institutions."

Rip1 is required for IkappaB kinase activation in response to tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and has been implicated in the Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) response to double-stranded RNA. Cytokine production is impaired when rip1-/- cells are treated with TNF-alpha, poly(I-C), or lipopolysaccharide, implicating Rip1 in the Trif-dependent TLR3 and TLR4 pathways. To examine the role of Rip1 in the Trif-dependent TLR4 pathway, we generated rip1-/- MyD88-/- cells. Lipopolysaccharide failed to stimulate NF-kappaB activation in rip1-/-MyD88-/- cells, revealing that Rip1 is also required for the Trif-dependent TLR4-induced NF-kappaB pathway. In addition to activating NF-kappaB, TLR3/4 pathways also stimulate interferon regulatory factor 3 activation. However, we find that Rip1 expression stimulates NF-kappaB but not interferon regulatory factor 3 activity. In the TNF-alpha pathway, Rip1 interacts with the E3 ubiquitin ligase Traf2 and is modified by polyubiquitin chains. Upon TLR3 activation, Rip1 is also modified by polyubiquitin chains and is recruited to TLR3 along with Traf6 and the ubiquitin-activated kinase Tak1. These studies suggest that Rip1 uses a similar, ubiquitin-dependent mechanism to activate IkappaB kinase-beta in response to TNF-alpha and TLR3 ligands.

i know dry sex or dry humping would not lead to pregnancy. but i have a different thing *i think*
what about rubbing while in the swimming pool? no ejaculation happened. but what about the pre cum, *he was aroused* can it travel through our swimming clothes? he was in underwear and board shorts, i was in underwear and jersey shorts. help please. can i get pregnant thru this?
Hi omolayo,
Here is a link you will find helpful: http://www.empowher.com/community/share/outercourse-dry-humping-dry-sex-and-other-sexual-behaviors
All the best,
February 26, 2012 - 2:47pm
what is dry sex and what is dry hump ? i would like to be educated on that, thanks.
February 26, 2012 - 9:40amHi Anonymous,
The same applies in water as it does outside of water...If you are wearing any type of clothing, then you cannot be penetrated and get pregnant. Chances are that if you were in the pool and-- lets say he did ejaculate inside of the water, the sperm would die within minutes-- this is due to factors like water temperature, chlorine, and other chemicals that may be in the pool.
Do not worry, as long as there was no penetration between you and your boyfriend you are not pregnant.
February 17, 2012 - 8:28amoh thnx for the really fast reply :-) i was really bothered by that. thanks :)

A couple of things I would like to clarify if that is ok:
1. Typically most commercial flywheel systems spin between 15,000 and 25,000 rpm to bring the stresses down. Still an issue if there is a catastrophic failure but with known failure modes systems will shut down prior to this happening.
2. Magnetic bearings actually have more losses than mechanical. The issue is standby losses. You still have to power the mag bearing and you get internal i^2 R losses as well as potentially having to cool the units. You DO get zero friction. A mechanical bearing (which does have to get changed every 20k cycles or so) DOES have frictional losses but no i^2 R or cooling losses. If you look at the flywheel as a black box mechanical bearings are typically less "lossier" than magnetic.
Caveat here is that for some applications magnetic bearing are better. But usually as cost is a big consideration mechanical is usually the better choice.
Really appreciate the article, hope my two cents help.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)No surprises, no questions - Rocket launchers exchanged for groceries - Los Angeles
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
December 28th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck told reporters today that he was not surprised at the collection of two rocket launchers at the gun buyback event this week. The event collected over 2,000 firearms including 75 assault rifles and the two rocket launchers. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The event allowed LA residents to exchange guns for gift cards that could be used to buy groceries, no questions asked. Among that haul was two rocket launchers.Chief Beck said the launchers contained no rockets, so they did not pose any threat to public safety. Beck was asked if the weapons would be checked for connections to unsolved crimes. Beck said no because the city does not want to deter people from turning in the weapons in the first place. The weapons will be melted down in the months to come. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

Playing Chicken With Disease
How industrial farming spawns drug-resistant "superbugs"
Penicillin seemed like a miracle when it was introduced in the 1940s: a drug that could cure previously devastating bacterial diseases such as pneumonia, syphilis, and meningitis. Some 60 years later, antibiotics are so commonplace we take them for granted.
But their power is dwindling. The widespread use of antibiotics on livestocknot to cure illness, but to stimulate growth and prevent diseaseis creating drug-resistant "superbugs" that are difficult to kill. "Any time you expose bacteria to antibiotics, youre creating survival-of-the-fittest pressure," says Karen Florini, a senior attorney at Environmental Defense. "The ones that are susceptible die; the ones that arent survive to breed rapidly."
Of the 35 million pounds of antibiotics administered each year in the United States, the Union of Concerned Scientists estimates that more than 70 percent go to livestock. Many of the antibiotics used on poultry, cattle, and pigs also fight life-threatening bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli in humans. Resistant forms of these microbes can spread to people through contact with raw or undercooked meat or through contaminated produce or water. "Bacteria share genetic instructions on how to outwit antibiotics, and your stomach is their university," says Florini. "When different germs trade resistances, you could end up with an untreatable disease."
Responding to these public-health concerns, in 1998 the European Union banned the "nontherapeutic" use (including livestock growth-promotion and disease-prevention) of essential human antibiotics; U.S. activists are pressing the Food and Drug Administration to do the same. In October 2000, the agency took a small step in this direction by asking two major drug manufacturers to stop selling an animal antibiotic in the fluoroquinolone family (a group that includes famed anthrax-fighter Cipro). When these drugs were approved for animals in 1995, only 1 percent of Campylobacter, the most common cause of bacterial food poisoning, was resistant to fluoroquinolones. By 1999, that number had jumped to 17.6 percent.
Faced with the possibility of a regulatory battle, Abbott Laboratories agreed to take its drug, Saraflox, off the market, but Bayer Corporation is still fighting the FDA. The Sierra Club, as part of a new coalition called Keep Antibiotics Working, is pressuring Bayer to withdraw Baytril (enrofloxacin), its version of fluoroquinolone for animals.
Limiting the use of antibiotics on animals may not completely stop the growth of antibiotic resistance (the drugs are also overprescribed by doctors) but its a good place to start. The same giant livestock facilities that pollute our air and water are also the perfect breeding grounds for super-tough microbes. Since disease spreads easily in the cramped, unhygienic conditions, drugs like Baytril are routinely added to animals drinking water.
Industry groups argue that such measures are necessary to preserve the safety of our food supply, but that safety is imperiled by the way factory farms are run. In 1997, the World Health Organization called for a ban on nontherapeutic application of human antibiotics to livestock, saying that animals need space, clean water, and high-quality feed instead. "If they were treating these animals better, they wouldnt need these antibiotics in the first place," says Sierra Club representative Ed Hopkins. And the drugs would be left for people to use, safely and effectively.

For More Info Exposure to antibiotic-resistant bacteria can be reduced by switching to organic meat. See "Nothing to Beef About,".

I have been researching my family for more years than I'd like to admit! When I was 14, I was my Dad's scribe when we'd go to the library. I guess that's when the bug bit! We've both tried to get past our Logan brick wall - John Logan, b. 1801, Ireland d. 1878, Johnson Co., Indiana - FOREVER, it seems. The family Bible only lists John's birthplace as Ireland, nothing else. yDNA testing shows we are closely related to General John A. Logan of Illinois (Civil War), and Benjamin Logan of Kentucky (Pioneer). Our John came to Shelby Co., Kentucky sometime before 1829, the year he married Paulina Sturgeon. Ben Logan had lived in Shelby Co., Kentucky at the time of his death in 1802. If you have any information on my John Logan, please contact me! Thanks and God Bless! |

We know who to talk to, where to find answers, and what steps you need to take. Let us put our 30 years of experience to work for you. Benlate, containing the active ingredient benomyl, is a discontinued fungicide manufactured by the DuPont Co. Although it was first introduced in 1970, Benlate was initially linked to problems in 1989 when Dupont temporarily recalled the product due to the presence of atrazine, a herbicide restricted by the EPA because of its link to birth defects, like being born without eyes, or anophthalmia. Anophthalmia is a medical term that is used to describe the absence of the globe and ocular (eye) tissue from the orbit.
Shortly after, farmers began filing lawsuits against the company alleging Benlate caused massive crop damage. Dupont, which phased out Benlate production in late 2001, has reportedly paid out $1 billion in litigation costs over the substance since the early 1990s. The company insists the fungicide is safe, saying production was halted due to overwhelming legal costs.

BAKER, LA (BPD) — On August 12, 2011 Baker Police made an arrest of a subject for an Armed Robbery, which had taken place earlier this year, in May.
Kurtis Heard, 17, of Baker was apprehended at his residence located on McHugh Road without incident, after detectives had obtained a warrant for his arrest. According to information received, the victim – who was a juvenile, and whose name was not released due to his age – was walking to his bus stop, when he was approached by Heard; who produced a gun, and demanded that the victim empty his pockets. The juvenile victim complied giving Heard the only possessions he had in his pockets: a hairbrush, and a cell phone.
Heard then fled the scene, while the victim, who was left unharmed, got to school and alerted police. Detectives with the Criminal Investigations Division were later able to obtain a positive identification of Heard from the victim.
Kurtis Heard – who was recently arrested in June of this year for Attempted First Degree Murder – was taken into custody, and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish prison, on the offenses of Illegal Use of a Firearm, and Armed Robbery with a Firearm; which carries an enhancement penalty because the use of a gun in the commission of the act.

When 8 years ago we bought our motorhome it was very difficult to imagine how drastically it would had changed the way we perceive the meaning of traveling. The keyword is obviously independence. Our new "home", a magic turtle shell, allowed us to wander from place to place, living simply and frugally, enjoying places and making experiences that we could never have had traveling in the conventional way.
I am convinced that if more people choose this form of itinerant tourism and if governments actively supported it as a model of sustainable tourism, there would be only benefits for everyone. Less concrete, less damaged beaches, reduced wastage of natural resources (energy, water) minimized pollution. A better, greener world!
Independence does not mean lack of organization. Now is the time when most of us start thinking about where to spend our summer vacations and making plans. Having spent many months wandering around most European countries, I think that if a motorhomer asked me to suggest a destination for spending a few weeks or even months (!) I would recommend for sure visiting Greece. And this is not only because as a photographer myself, I followed the fate of photographers to falling in love with the Greek light. I have more convincing reasons:
1. Top of the list is Greece's natural and historical wealth. Not only are the must-see sights many. They are completely different one from the other. Abundance and diversity, the perfect conditions for a curious, restless motorhomer-explorer. Take for example the Peloponnese, by far the most popular motorhomer's destination. Its 'exotic' beaches are listed among the most beautiful in the world (Elafonisos-Simos, Voidokoilia), it has archaeological sites of international resonance (Olympia, Epidaurus), medieval villages and castles that remained untouched by time (Monemvasia, Mystras), forests, rivers, gorges and waterfalls (Lussios, Neda), lunar landscapes and villages with fortified houses (Mani). There is even a volcano (Methana)! And all these, in just a few hours driving…
2. Even in the peak tourist season we always found a spot in the Mediterranean sunshine away from the crowds. Thanks to the vast and smooth coastline (the longest compared to other Mediterranean countries), there is plenty of space for everyone. Moreover, the most popular beaches are not necessarily the most beautiful. Do not be surprised if you find yourself in front of a postcard style beach and you are alone or with very few others.
3. Contrary to what you might imagine, the summer heat is far from being unbearable. As our motorhome does not have air conditioning, we usually rely on the miraculous sea or mountain breeze depending on where we are and up to now it worked like a charm! At night, the temperature drops significantly and a bed sheet or a light blanket is always welcome. All these are of course for the countryside. Urban temperatures are high also overnight. The wind may sometimes be a small hassle, especially in August in the Aegean sea region, but the good news is that in summer it hardly ever rains!
4. Wild camping is prohibited, but parking is not. So as long as you park your RV (Recreational Vehicle) according to the rules, without setting out tents, tables and chairs etc. it is highly unlikely to be disturbed by the authorities (Police, Municipality).
5. Greece welcomes with open arms the non-forward-thinking. Even in the smaller villages there is a general store where you can buy the essentials. They stay open until late at night every day of the week and often they are only slightly more expensive than big supermarkets. So why not give back to the local economy and buy from them? As a bonus you do not need to stack products in your closets. Also, on isolated beaches canteen-cafes-tavern usually are not there just to make junk food. You can ask them to bring for you fresh products, fruits, vegetables or milk from the closest village.
6. Excluding islands, where there is water shortage, in the rest of the country, with very few exceptions, there is drinking water in abundance. Look around to find public taps otherwise gas stations is the next easy solution; when filling petrol just ask to use their water tap.
7. Greeks have a talent for foreign languages! Beyond the 'mandatory' English, many, especially younger ones speak an extra language as French, Italian or German. But even those who know only basic English will find a way to communicate with you. The spirit of hospitality and the pleasure of sharing things and experiences with visitors are still alive, especially outside major urban / tourist centres.
8. For those who think that Greece is reachable only by ferry, there is good news. The country is not an island! Those who do not wish to pay for ferry tickets and of course have the time and enjoy driving, can come overland, following a network of safe highways.
9. First camper stops are a reality! There are already two in the Peloponnese, one at Kalogria Beach near Patras and one in Ancient Corinth, while more and more campsites will not refuse you to use them as a camper-service or to stay for half-day. If in need, just ask.

SALEM, Ore. — The Marion County District Attorney's Office announced it will not file any criminal charges against a former Lane County administrator.
The district attorney's office says it was appointed as special prosecutor to review any potential charges stemming from the employment and practices of former Lane County Administrator Liane Richardson.
Following a full review of the investigative reports, the decision was made to not file any criminal charges.
"The alteration of deferred compensation does not rise to any criminal behavior. Richardson was given permission to make this change, its execution did not cost the county any money, and Richardson reverted back to the original contractual arrangement once notified of the problem," said Paige E. Clarkson, Trial Team Supervisor, Deputy District Attorney.

About Us
Meet Rachel and Issac
When Rachel Wiesenfeld started WISE ORGANIC PASTURES in 1992, she wanted what any good Jewish mother would want for her family: wholesome chicken raised the old-fashioned way — free range, organically fed, hormone-free — and processed according to strict kosher standards.
At the time, there was organic chicken. And there was kosher chicken. But no one was offering chicken that was both organic and kosher. So with just a telephone, a carload of chickens, and plenty of chutzpah, Rachel started WISE ORGANIC PASTURES. She partnered with an organic farmer and family-owned poultry processor who met her high standards, and wrote her first orders in her Brooklyn kitchen.
Today, son Issac — just a teenager when WISE ORGANIC PASTURES was founded — has taken over the family business, carrying on Rachel's same commitment to quality, purity and taste. "Our vision is simple," says Issac. "Bring our customers good-quality, healthy, kosher and organic meat and poultry that has been raised humanely and tastes great."
Meet the Farmers
All WISE ORGANIC PASTURES chicken is raised by a group of ten small family farms nestled in the verdant, sun-drenched valleys of the Appalachian foothills in rural Pennsylvania. To the east is the Susquehanna River. To the west is state forest. And underfoot are green Timothy and orchard grasses, blanketing the landscape of rolling hills.
Each day, the chickens have their choice: roam around the spacious, temperature-controlled, highly ventilated chicken house (where 100% of the air is exchanged every 60 seconds). Or wander the green pastures that lie outside the chicken house door. It's a good life for a chicken.
Billy Robinson is a lifetime farmer and the liaison between the farming collective and WISE ORGANIC PASTURES. "Growing up, I always wanted to be a farmer," he says. "I just like being closer to the land and closer to the animals."

This will only work, if your IP camera comes with a WDM driver. Otherwise IC Imaging Control will not find it.
June 1, 2009, 06:36:32
No i dont think so that camera come with any type of driver.....it has only a monitoring software that can be used for vedio....and also internet explorer open its view.....now suggest me any idea how i m able to integrate it with VB?...
Stefan Geissler
June 2, 2009, 10:28:47
In this case, you have no IP camera, but a web cam with an own HTTP host. It provides an ActiveX control for Internet Explorer to show the images. Thus you can not access the camera directly using IC Imaging Control.

text: Mobile Too lazy for Pandora? Songza's music concierge will suggest the right tunes to match your mood March 21, 2012 6:02 AM Sienrak Gaming execs: Join 180 select leaders from King, Glu, Rovio, Unity, Facebook, and more to plan your path to global domination in 2015. GamesBeat Summit is invite-only -- apply here. Ticket prices increase on March 6 Pacific! Back on March 5th, streaming music service Songza released a new feature on its web app called Concierge. "We found in studies that the main thing people disliked about Pandora and Spotify was having to work at discovering new music," Elias Roman, co-founder and CEO, told me during a visit to the VentureBeat offices yesterday. "They end up listening to the same Bob Dylan playlist four times a day and it's killing them inside." How do you make it drop dead simple for people discover new music? Tell them what to listen to. "We released concierge push new playlists to people, and it's changed our metrics in a big way. New users are spending an average of 45 minutes on the site. No other new feature has given us such a big boost to traffic or engagement, which has nearly doubled since we introduced concierge." The new Songza concierge feature arrives on the iPhone this morning. It takes a look at everything from the day, time, and location when suggesting playlists. "If it's a Monday morning and you are at the office, it will suggest some upbeat tracks to help you power back into the workweek," explained Roman. "If it's a Saturday night, depending on the time and place, it might suggest music for cooking dinner, a dance party mix or a getting lucky playlist." The playlists Songza recommends are generated dynamically each time based on a user's listening history and taste, what they give a thumbs up or thumbs down. Sadly, you won't be seeing a Songza app inside of Spotify anytime soon. "We love what those guys are doing, and in fact, we're working on our own platform, but targeting big companies, not consumers," said Roman.The company is already working with several large players in the terrestrial radio market, licensing out their technology to help them create a compelling digital experience. Songza falls under the same DMCA digital radio regulations as Pandora, so it doesn't have to worry about licensing. But unlike Pandora, the company refuses to insert audio ads into its playlists. "We just think that really ruins the experience," said Roman. The playlists Songza recommends come from 25 music experts (rock critics, bloggers and ethno-musicologists) who work on a contract basis for the startup. Tastemakers like Kesha and Kings of Leon also create playlists. I played with the concierge a bit and found it intuitive and fun. It picked out some epic movie music to help me conquer the end of a work day and some upbeat indie pop to make my morning coffee to. "We're about giving the users choice. Pick a decade, a playlist for pumping iron, one for getting high," said Roman. "But we realized that people really like it when the experience of music discovery goes from them pulling songs to us pushing them." VentureBeat is studying social media marketing tools. Chime in, and we'll share the data with you.

Daisy in Dreamtime From Los Angeles Times: "Hits home with stunning impact… under Simon Levy's savvy direction, this Fountain Theatre production infuses history with visceral urgency… the riveting Lisa Pelikan evokes a complex, finely nuanced portrait… It's Anthony J. Haney's masterful turn as King Billy that supplies the show's heart and soul… the supporting cast (Suanne Spoke, Lance Guest, Jay Bell and Eve Brenner) consistently impress." From Back Stage West: "CRITIC'S PICK! "Extraordinary! Rarely do we find a play like Daisy in the Dreamtime, it achieves something nearly impossible… a uniformly stellar cast; Simon Levy's inspired direction; Desma Murphy's magical desert set gorgeously lit by Kathi O'Donohue… the cornerstone of this production is the extraordinary performance of Anthony J. Haney."

Flawlessly presented by the Fountain Theatre… written with heart, sensitivity… Highly-acclaimed director Simon Levy has masterfully crafted a stunning production, guiding his entire cast to gut-wrenching performances… Lisa Pelikan is absolutely brilliant… a wonderfully hypnotic and heartfelt portrayal by Anthony J. Haney… Catch this one! It is truly compelling theatre!" From KABC Radio: "A POWERFUL NEW PLAY!… [a] courageous story… superbly directed… Everyone will enjoy the story of Daisy Bates."
From TalkinBroadway: "Daisy Bates was never an official anthropologist, but was renowned for her study of the Australian aborigines in the first half of the twentieth century. Now her story is being told in what is a mostly beautiful, acutely theatrical way in Abingdon Theatre Company's newest production, Lynne Kaufman's Daisy in the Dreamtime..." [Full Review]
From CurtainUp: " The world has long known of the cataclysmic effects Western European civilization has had on presumably less-sophisticated cultures. Native Americans, Incans, Mayans, the tribes of Africa have all felt the weight of the conqueror. The victimization of the Southwest Australian Aborigines captures our attention in Daisy in the Dreamtime. A small part of their story unfolds in this new play based on the true experiences of Daisy Bates by Lynne Kaufman at the Abingdon Theatre Arts Complex..." [Full Review]

Taking Flight From The Best Reviews: "Even though she has been married twenty years with two children (teenage Davey and preadolescent Wendy), Los Angeles Community College Professor Julia Benson feels as if her life can fit inside a packed sardine can. She is unsure whether she loves her husband Mark or ever did while her dying mother residing in a Bronx slum, tells her to live life to the fullest. Julia hopes the two-week trip to Greece in which she, another professor Michael, and the office assistant Sabrina chaperone thirty female sophomores, will lead to some healthy flirting.
The trip proves a bust as Michael spends his time with Sabrina and the natives flirt with the students. Depressed on the way home, she meets Ted, an oceanic archeologist with his head in the clouds dreaming of finding Atlantis. As they hit it off, Julia wonders if she should run away to help Ted find his dream or be responsible to a spouse and two kids who cherish her.
Readers will appreciate the gender bending middle age crisis as Julia has her second identity issue after having obtained a new role when she returned to school to obtain a Masters and a teaching job so that she could be a professor not just a wife and mother. That proved not fulfilling enough making fans wonder whether the delightful protagonist will take flight with Ted or return to her adoring family. This character driven tale entices the audience because no one is nasty or abusive driving Julia away; to the contrary her family love her. Lynne Kaufman provides a fabulous tale of a woman on the crossroads taking stock of where her life is going while readers and her will wonder who she chooses."
Slow Hands From The Word on Romance: "SLOW HANDS is a story about living each moment, taking risks and embracing life's most valuable offering: peace. Filled with famous quotes and sayings, the story imparts knowledge as well as entertainment, making you chuckle at an apt one-liner or cry with empathy or joy. Drawn into the lives of two sisters, their friends, families and all the others, Ms. Kaufman gives voice to those who are normally silent. SLOW HANDS is a tale of inspiration, desperation and devotion. Though I am much younger than the main character, I nevertheless felt I could relate to her plight.
"This book brings to life some important isuses about being a woman in the modern world. SLOW HANDS is a smart, intricately woven story that dares to challenge the norms of society. Filled with courage and uncharacteristic approaches, SLOW HANDS will stop and make you think."
From Romance Reviews Today: "SLOW HANDS is a delightful story with many layers. Sara and Coralee are finely drawn charactyers who have depth and life, and to whom readers can relate. An interesting and creative story. SLOW HANDS smoothly winds its way through our imaginations as we watch Sara and Coralee begin to make sense of their lives, those lives they thought were just fine until their mother died. The secondary characters, such as Sara's three patients and Simon, Slow Hands' manager, are all integral to the story and add interesting dimension and breadth. Highly entertaining with a provocative plot, SLOW HANDS kept me amused with its effortless writing. A perfect summer read, give this novel a try."
Wild Women's Weekend
For ages the four females would share women's only weekend together near the Golden Gate Bridge. Sabrina, Maria, Ann, and Deb look forward to this year as each has personnel trouble to deal with and escape feels good. At a bar, the four meet Hughie; Since he needs a place to stay and seems like a nice chap, they invite him back to spend the night at their lodging. The next morning they find their guest dead. The quartet decides to bury the drifter so that they would not have to deal with the police.
The women go on with their lives until a road crew dig up Hughie's corpse. The FBI begin making inquiries including questioning the four friends. Will one break and tell the truth or will they remain in solidarity as evidence mounts that they may have done more than inter a dead person and tamper with a crime scene?
This dark comedy will remind readers of the Hitchcock movie The Trouble with Harry. The story line is action-packed and fast-paced as the women jump from one disaster into another. Still the reason the tale is fun is the four pleasant females each has a distinctive personality that surfaces when they conduct the funeral service and when the Feds come after them.

2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Review and Prices
Price: $21,815 - $48,815

2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Buying Advice
The 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is the best pickup for you if you want new tech in an old wrapper.
The new tech is the first hybrid powertrain in a pickup truck. It harnesses a gas V-8 engine to a two-motor electric-drive system and improves fuel mileage by 40 percent in the city and 25 percent overall. The "old wrapper" tag is relative – after all, the Silverado and its GMC Sierra cousin were redesigned as recently as the 2007 model year. In truck terms, they'd still be youngsters if not for the fact that their archrivals from Ford and Dodge were all-new for model-year 2009. So the 2010 Silverado 1500 competes with full-size pickups that have fresher looks and more-innovative features.
Should you buy a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 or wait for the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500? We would have said wait for the 2010 to get your mitts on a half-ton pickup with diesel power. But GM has shelved indefinitely plans to introduce a diesel engine option for the Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. So there's little reason to wait for the 2010 Silverado. It won't have any significant improvements over the 2009 version. And you're not likely to be in a better bargaining position on price.
2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Changes back to top
Styling: No changes of note to the same handsome, conservative shape introduced with the 2007 Silverado. The 2010 Chevy Silverado Hybrid gets some eco-badging and borrows its aerodynamic front fascia and cargo-bed tonneau from the Silverado 1500 XFE (Xtra Fuel Economy) model, but otherwise looks like any other Silverado 1500. Silverado 1500s continue as two-door regular-cabs, extended cabs with rear-hinged back doors, and crew cabs with four conventional doors. Available cargo-bed lengths are 5.8 feet, 6.5 feet, and 8.1 feet. The Hybrid, which is expected to account for just 5-10 percent of Silverado sales, is offered only as a crew cab.
Mechanical: The hybrid gets most of the hype, but the more far-reaching change is another feature also introduced for 2009: a hydraulic body mount for all extended- and crew-cab Silverado 1500s. It replaces a hard rubber mount as the connection between body and frame and triggers a surprising improvement in ride quality and control, particularly on rough or choppy road surfaces. Silverado's most-popular engine is the smooth, versatile 315-horspower 5.3-liter V-8, which is available on all body styles. Along with the optional 367-horsepower 6.0-liter V-8, the 5.3 uses GM's Active Fuel Management to save gas by automatically switching between eight and four cylinders, depending on power demands. Also available is a 195-horsepower V-6 and V-8s of 4.8 liters (295 horsepower) and 6.2 liters (403). The V-6 and 4.8-liter V-8 use a four-speed automatic transmission, the other engines a six-speed automatic. Maximum towing capacity is 10,700 pounds and is achieved with the extended-cab.
The 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Hybrid shares its powertrain with the Chevrolet Tahoe and Cadillac Escalade Hybrids. Its employs a 6.0-liter V-8 in combination with electric motors and a nickel-metal hydride battery pack. It can launch and drive up to 30 mph on electricity alone. The electric motors, housed within the transmission casing, also automatically kick in for extra acceleration. And in cruising conditions, they enable the hybrid's Active Fuel Management-equipped V-8 to stay longer in its V-4 model. The system is self-charging and total horsepower is 332. The hybrid is available with two- or four-wheel drive, transmission is a continuously variable-type automatic, and towing capacity is 6,100 pounds.
Features: The 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 continues to answer most any need for utility or comfort. Roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-to-work features include a choice of basic four-wheel drive or GM's all-surface Autotrac four-wheel drive, both with low-range gearing; permanently engaged all-wheel drive; five separate suspension setups, from off-road to sporty handling; and a variety of beefed-up cooling, towing, and cargo-carrying options. Wear-your-going-out-jeans amenities include leather upholstery, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, a power sliding rear window, remote engine start, 12-way heated power front seats, and Bluetooth phone link.
2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Prices back to top
Basic as basic gets is the rear-wheel-drive V-6 regular-cab short-bed with hand-crank windows, painted front bumper, and a manufacturer's suggested retail price of around $18,600. Even this Silverado, however, comes with air conditioning, antilock brakes, and a tilt steering column. (Prices quoted here include Chevy's mandated destination fee of around $925.) Climb the model ladder, adding more power, four-wheel drive, and larger cabs, and base prices quickly escalate into the mid-$20,000s and keep going into the upper-$30,000s. Ladle on the stand-alone and package options (leather, navigation, and DVD video, partner?), and a $50,000 sticker price is yours. In this, 2010 Chevrolet Silverado pricing keeps pace with the Ford and Dodge competition, though you may find your local Chevy dealer offering slightly better deals at the low end of the spectrum because its pickup design is older than that of its rivals. Base price for the Silverado Hybrid ranges from about $43,000 to about $46,000.
2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Fuel Economy back to top
Not even counting the fuel-saving hybrid model, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (along with the GMC Sierra) gets the best gas mileage of any half-ton pickup on the road. The margin is slim – basically just 1 mpg in EPA city and highway ratings – and fuel economy is a relative term when it comes to full-size, 5,000-pound trucks.
With gas engines, EPA fuel-economy ratings for the Silverado 1500 bottom out at 12 mpg city/19 highway for model equipped with the 403-horsepower 6.2-liter V-8 and 4WD. Ratings top out at 15/21 for a 5.3-liter V-8 version. In between, the V-6 gets a best 15/20, and the 4.8- and 6.0-liter V-8s a best 14/19. Note that the 5.3-liter V-8 can burn E85 ethanol fuel, which may cost less at the pump but typically reduces fuel economy by 20 percent or so. For example, a 4WD 5.3-liter Silverado rates 14/20 burning gas, but just 10/15 using E85.
The 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Hybrid is rated at 21/22 with 2WD and 20/20 with 4WD. By comparison, a Silverado 1500 packing the similar 6.0-liter V-8 but sans hybrid technology rates 14/19 with 2WD and 13/18 with 4WD.
2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Release Date back to top
Look for the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 in showrooms by autumn 2009.
2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Competition back to top
2010 Ford F-150: Redesigned for 2009 with updated styling, larger cabs, and a lighter, stronger frame. Power, fuel economy, towing, and payload capacity are improved, too. The F-150 has more passenger room and in-cab storage space than the Silverado, and the Ford's cargo boxes have compartment and divider features the Chevy lacks. The new F-150 debuted with an all-V-8 lineup; horsepower reanges from 248 to 320 and fuel economy ratings span 14/18 to 15/20. Like GM, Ford shelved plans for an F-150 diesel, and it never had a hybrid in the hopper. Instead, Ford pins its high-tech hopes on the company's EcoBoost V-6, a twin-turbo that aims to deliver the power of a V-8 with the fuel economy of a V-6. It's due during calendar 2010, but could be part of a model-year 2011 F-150 launch. F-150 base prices begin from around $22,000 and top out around $45,000. Maximum towing capacity is 11,000 pounds.
2010 Dodge Ram 1500: Fully redesigned for model-year 2009 and set to acquire a hybrid option for model-year 2010. Ram's newest look refines its macho styling with more-aerodynamic but still-brawny shapes. It gains its first half-ton crew cab and is first in class to eschew leaf springs for a rear coil-spring suspension (it retains a solid rear axle). The redesigned Ram has more power underhood, including a revised Hemi V-8 with 390 horsepower. A V-6 with 215 horsepower and a 4.7-liter V-8 with 301 also are available. Other than the Silverado and Sierra, the Dodge Ram 1500 is the only full-size pickup to offer 4WD that can be left engaged on all surfaces, a boon to traction when roads are damp and the bed is empty. Maximum towing capacity is 9,100 pounds. Ram 1500 base prices are in the $23,000-$46,000 range. Ram Hybrid prices are likely to start around $43,000. The 2010 Dodge Ram Hybrid's electric-motor technology was developed in cooperation with GM and BMW, but Dodge pairs it with its Hemi V-8 for a horsepower rating around 390. Hybrid fuel economy is around 20/21 compared to 14/20 with the regular Hemi; both have cylinder-cutoff technology. The V-6 is also rated at 14/20, the 4.7 V-8 at 14/19.
2010 Toyota Tundra: Redesigned for model-year 2007, getting enough size, power, and features to qualify as the first import-brand pickup to compete directly with Ford, GM, and Dodge in the half-ton arena. A fine effort, but nothing to pull fiercely loyal domestic buyers in significant numbers, and launched too late to exploit the salad days of big-pickup as fashion statement. The 2010 Toyota Tundra continues with a competitive selection of gas-only V-6 and V-8 engines, cab types, and bed styles. It's build at Toyota's plant in the U.S. Fuel-economy ratings top out at 15/19 and bottom out at 13/17. Maximum towing capacity is 10,800 pounds. Base price range is around $24,000-$44,000.

Winston Noe Curtis lives in a small Northwest Dade apartment with his wife and works two low-paying jobs. The 24-year-old Nicaraguan doesn't drink or smoke and claims to have never gotten so much as a speeding ticket. His goal is to become a police officer.
On Friday morning, August 2, their disparate paths crossed. Curtis, driving a construction delivery van, squeezed in front of Alvarez, who had just backed out of his driveway on to West 24th Street. The two exchanged honks and profanities and the tirade continued on to the property next door, where Curtis was delivering materials to a construction crew. There, say Curtis and five witnesses, Alvarez sprang from his Mercedes SL 500, unzipped a yellow pouch, and pulled out a handgun, pointing it at Curtis.
The men squared off ten yards apart, according to the witnesses, Curtis empty-handed and Alvarez now aiming the 9mm semiautomatic handgun at Curtis's head, his finger on the trigger.
"What do you want me to do?" Curtis recalls Alvarez asking. "You want me to do something?"
With the construction crew watching and pleading with Curtis to shut up and not move, Alvarez walked back to his car and drove away. Curtis immediately grabbed the van's cellular phone and called his boss, Kay Statz, president of Camp Development Corp., who called the police. Thirty minutes after the standoff, Ofcr. Ambrose Sims was on the scene, interviewing Curtis and the crew. Sims then walked over and knocked on Alvarez's front door, but a woman claiming she didn't understand Sims's broken Spanish refused to open the door. The Mercedes was not in the driveway.
Sims filed an incident report at the police station at approximately 4:00 p.m., which notes that Det. Gary Schiaffo "would follow up on the report." But before Schiaffo could investigate, Alvarez had arranged a meeting with Assistant Chief Manuel Diaz through a phone call from "a mutual friend," according to Diaz. Alvarez arrived at the police station at approximately 1:30 p.m. the day of the incident. In Diaz's office, Alvarez told his side of the story to the assistant chief and Detective Schiaffo.
"He said he had a problem and I told him I'd help him get it resolved," remembers Diaz about the meeting with Alvarez. "I had met this guy once, maybe twice before at some functions. I told him to get over here and I'd introduce him to the detective. I told him the best way to handle this was to come clean. Just tell him what happened. It was a common courtesy that I'd give to anyone."
Diaz, a former City of Miami police captain, has been an assistant chief of police administration for a year. He says he told Schiaffo to use his own judgment in the case. "I told Alvarez, 'It's up to the detective,'" insists Diaz. "I wanted to stand back and be objective about this. I don't want to influence the decision of my officers. My credibility has never been called into question."
Schiaffo learned about the case around noon that day, when Sims relayed to him over the police radio a brief description of the alleged aggravated assault. But before Schiaffo could question the victim or the witnesses, he says he summarily closed his investigation after talking with Alvarez.
"He came to the station to talk to me. He said, 'I want to tell you what happened,'" recalls Schiaffo. "That in itself is something. How many guys come in like that?"
According to Schiaffo, Alvarez said that Curtis was always driving fast through the quiet neighborhood and that Alvarez's young child played in the street. He also complained that the construction crew had ruined his car with "concrete and concrete cinder blocks." Says Schiaffo: "He had been very tolerant for a long time about this stuff."
Curtis denies the allegations. He and the construction crew, which had worked at the site for about a year, say they never saw a child around the Alvarez house.
Alvarez declined to comment for this story, but Diaz and Schiaffo say Alvarez told them that he never took the gun out of its case. "He took the gun case out and showed it to the guy," Schiaffo explains, "because he thought the guy was going to get a bat or something out of his truck."
Diaz recalls differently: Curtis "came at Alvarez with a tire iron," he says.
Both versions contradict the report of the victim and the witnesses. Schiaffo, however, says he was not bothered by the conflicting stories. "There's always three sides to every case: the suspect's, the victim's, and mine. It's my interpretation," Schiaffo reasons. "Alvarez is not a scumbag. He's a gentleman. He's a professional person." He rejects the assertion by Curtis, crew, and construction company president Statz that Alvarez was given special treatment because of his wealth and connections: "He knows a lot of people," Schiaffo concedes, "but I don't worry about who he knows. I've been doing this 23 years."

First Look: G & B Oyster Bar
Melissa McCart |
During last night's visit through Tuesday, the restaurant will offer a short list of small plates. The full menu will debut January 11.
Whitewashed wood, metal chairs, concrete floors, tile, and an open layout evokes Kodbyens Fiskebar in Copenhagen. I agreed with my friend that the tone is akin to Tap 42. No matter where you live, be it Miami, San Francisco, or abroad, industrial design that leans toward minimalism is the look of the moment.
