2011 ASCO Annual Meeting
Guest post from Shelley Fuld Nasso, Susan G. Komen for the Cure Director of Public and Medical Affairs
Right now, 30,000 people in the field of oncology have converged in Chicago for the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. The theme for the meeting is Patients, Pathways, Progress. For advocates, it is an incredible opportunity to hear presentations of the latest cancer research and interact with researchers, including many who have been funded by Susan G. Komen for the Cure. It also means a LOT of walking between sessions, receptions, briefings, and meetings. Thank goodness for comfortable shoes.
I wanted to share some of my own highlights from the first two days of the meeting, starting with the sweeping and inspirational Presidential Address by Dr. George W. Sledge, Jr., ASCO President and member of Komen's Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Sledge talked about "stupid cancers," which are easier to treat effectively, and "smart cancers," which are much more difficult to treat, are more likely to be resistant to treatment, and have a higher chance of recurrence. Dr. Sledge also talked about the new genomic era of cancer research that will be required to target the biology of smart cancers, and he outlined systemic changes that will be needed to meet the challenges of the genomic era, including changes in the oncology workforce, clinical trials system, and regulatory framework.
In a tribute session to Dr. Sledge as he concludes his year as ASCO president, his colleagues toasted him and spoke of his dedication to his patients and to his mentees, whose careers in breast cancer research he has fostered and encouraged. A team of his patients and friends – aptly named Sisters Sledge – participate in the Komen Central Indiana Race for the Cure every year. Dr. Sledge is clearly a compassionate, caring physician, in addition to being a leader in breast cancer research and clinical practice.
I also had the honor of meeting Dr. Jane Cooke Wright, who was one of the seven oncologists who founded ASCO in 1964, and the only woman. She was a trailblazer in many ways as an African-American woman and a leading researcher, and she was a pioneer in developing chemotherapy treatments.
Here are some other highlights from the sessions and posters I visited.
Dr. Bryan Schneider of Indiana University Simon Cancer Center presented significant early results of his work funded by a Komen Promise Grant. Dr. Schneider and his team identified a genetic marker that predicts whether patients receiving the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel are more likely to experience neuropathy, or nerve damage. Neuropathy is a common side effect of chemotherapy and can limit patients' ability to function and interrupt treatment. In the future, this discovery may help physicians counsel patients about the risks and benefits of the treatment.
Amy Bulman of the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Office of Advocacy Relations presented to patient advocates about the Advocates in Research Working Group's recommendations on how NCI can meaningfully engage advocates in the research conducted and funded by the NCI.
Dr. Albert Neugut of Columbia University received the Conquer Cancer Foundation of ASCO Improving Cancer Care Grant, funded by Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Dr. Neugut will conduct a randomized trial of women with breast cancer who are receiving adjuvant hormone therapy to see if text messages via cell phone improve adherence to the prescribed therapies. This study will also analyze the cost-effectiveness of efforts to improve adherence.
Dr. Ann Partridge, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and a Komen Scholar, presented results of the ASCO Breast Cancer Registry Pilot, also funded by Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The pilot confirmed the feasibility of collecting data to support quality assessment in oncology practices. Additionally, the project used the data to create treatment summaries for patients, improving communication with patients about their care. A presentation later in the meeting by Dr. Victoria Blinder of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center will explore patient satisfaction with the treatment summaries.
Mary Lou Smith and Elda Railey, co-founders of Research Advocacy Network, presented their survey of patients with metastatic breast cancer and analysis of patient perspectives when making treatment decisions. The survey presented participants with two hypothetical treatment options, each with a specified likelihood of both benefit and side effects, and asked participants to select a treatment or choose not to treat. Respondents under age 50 were more likely to choose treatments than older counterparts, and women with young children (under age 12) were much more likely to try any treatment option, even with a high likelihood of side effects. Analysis like this is important to understand the factors women weigh in selecting treatments or deciding to stop treatment.
Dr. Anne Marie Murphy, Executive Director of the Metropolitan Chicago Breast Cancer Task Force, analyzed breast cancer quality metrics at facilities in Chicago and found that the majority of institutions were not able to show that they met benchmark quality measures. The Chicago Breast Cancer Quality Consortium, a project of the task force, was founded with a $1 million grant from Komen to address disparities in outcomes for African American women in Chicago, who were dying at a rate 62 percent higher than white counterparts with breast cancer. A subsequent grant from Komen is allowing the consortium to provide support and quality improvement interventions to institutions in Chicago.
In preparing to come to this meeting, I pored through the list of abstracts for presentations by Komen-funded researchers. There is simply not enough time to attend all the presentations with ties to Komen. So this is just a sample of some of the presentations and posters I attended in the first two days of the meeting.
Obviously it is a very busy meeting. So busy, in fact, that there's not much time to enjoy the beauty and culture of Chicago. But I did have one cultural treat when my cabdriver, who is also a blues musician who plays at the famed Kingston Mines, played the harmonica for me (while driving, no less!).
Thousands Attend the Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure®
Even after 22 years, the Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure® in Washington, D.C. still brings tears to our eyes. Close to 40,000 people – including 3,500 breast cancer survivors – flooded the National Mall to honor a loved one, celebrate survivorship and unite as one in the global fight against breast cancer.
Our founder and CEO, Ambassador Nancy G. Brinker charged up the crowd, noting that the sea of pink making their way up the National Mall was a bold statement by this community that we will not rest until our promise to end breast cancer forever is fulfilled. Special guests including Princess Margriet of the Netherlands and Kennedy Center chairman David Rubenstein were on hand to help drive home the importance of this global fight and the impact the $5 million raised from this event will have , noting that just because our Race has been run, doesn't mean our job is done. The Race kicked off with a sea survivors clad in their pink race shirts marching onto the mall to the sound of American Idol's Tim Halperin singing his tribute to the cause – "We Fight Back!"
The Race to the finish was aptly won by native Kenyan and current D.C. resident Komen Wilson. The first female to cross the finish line was Michelle Miller from Maryland. The first survivor to finish was Katie Sutton from Missouri.
A big thank you to the entire Washington, D.C. community for hosting us yet again – see you next year!

Inaugural Susan G. Komen Ghana Race for the Cure
What an amazing day we had yesterday! More than 11,000 Ghanaian runners and walkers took to the streets at the inaugural Susan G. Komen Ghana Race for the Cure in Kumasi yesterday to tell the country and the world that Ghana will not tolerate its women dying from breast cancer. Young, old, mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, daughters and sons – they all came to walk and support a cause that has touched so many of their lives. Our partnership with Dr. Beatrice Wiafe-Addai and Breast Care International brought the Race to Ghana and there is no doubt that it is here to stay.
We were delighted that Ghana's Vice President Dramani Mahama postponed a trip to participate at the Race and talk to the crowd about breast awareness and early detection. The most unforgettable moment of the morning came when the breast cancer survivors received a standing ovation from the crowd as they marched into Baba Yara stadium. The festivities continued from there, ending with performances from Ghanaian and Nigerian gospel music stars that had the crowd on their feet dancing and singing.
The Ghana Race has made its mark in West Africa and we are so honored to have been a part of this historic day!

Komen's In Ghana
We're in Africa, kicking off the first official Susan G. Komen Ghana Race for the Cure on Wednesday (May 25). Ghana is one of seven African countries where Komen partners to educate, screen and help reduce mortality rates from breast cancer (with $462,000 in grants to Ghana along). Our Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Katrina McGhee is a Ghana veteran and files this report:
It's my fourth trip to Ghana and something is different. The people are still wonderful, the air is still hot and humid, and yes unfortunately the Mosquitos still serve on the welcoming committee. But this time I can feel the winds of change. It's like a subtle breeze carried by the quiet resolve of women fueled by hope and determination.
Three years ago when I first came to Ghana with Dr. Riccardo Masetti to represent Komen I was so enthusiastic, so fired up to help save women from breast cancer. I fell in love with the people and the place. My naive exuberance quickly met with the harsh realities that this would be a journey not a sprint. Young women were dying at alarming rates. The lack of awareness, resources, and infrastructure coupled with the poverty and long held myths were quite frankly daunting. How could we even begin to make a difference?
The answer was through partnership and perseverance. Forming an Alliance with NGO throughout the country, we slowly established a network of friends that would help guide our work. They are my heroes. People like Dr. Wiafe who work tirelessly to raise awareness, dispel myths, remove stigmas, and inspire women to act. It is no easy task and in truth can be frustratingly slow.
But the boldness of three women on last evening renewed my hope that we can win this battle. They were all at work – a hotel clerk, a waitress, and a cook. Each one upon seeing Dr. Wiafe declared "I need you to examine my breasts before you leave." Wow! Can you imagine? Just a few short years ago no one would have been talking about this in public. Not many would have cared.
So is the transformational nature of Komen's work. Inspiring the world with a vision of what could be, helping to map out the journey, and providing the fuel to get there. Together, we are Susan G. Komen. We will end breast cancer. In Ghana and around the world.

Manicures/Pedicures in Raleigh
Raleigh manicures and pedicures are a rage among residents who want to pamper themselves or are lucky enough to have been treated by someone who cares about their well-being. The primary services all manicure and pedicure places offer are clipping, buffing, finishing, and a shirt massage. These can go quite in-depth depending upon how much one wishes to pay for specialized attention, but they are worth the investment for every toe and finger.

A judge declined to suspend the minimum prison term for Scott Buatti, 48, of Newton, who is serving a 2-to-4 year sentence for possession of child pornography. (JAMES A. KIMBLE/FILE PHOTO)
Ex-Timberlane teacher denied early release from prison
A judge denied a request by Scott Buatti, 48, to suspend the remaining seven months of a state prison sentence after spending roughly a year and a half behind bars.
Buatti is serving a 2-to-4 year state prison sentence. A jury convicted him of 10 counts of possession of child pornography in April 2011.
McHugh decided he will only recommend to the corrections department that Buatti undertake sexual offender program after he is paroled from his two-year sentence.
Buatti taught gym class at Timberlane Middle School for 19 years until his 2009 indictment prompted his resignation.
ICE agents testified that Buatti was identified in their investigation after he paid $79.95 to subscribe to web sites and used his home email address with his subscription.

Record Industry Targets General Motors, Ford Over Music-Copying Vehicles
A lot of money could be on the line thanks to a largely forgotten 1992 law.
In efforts to collect money over the copying of music, the record industry has reached as high as the skies and as far as New Zealand, but the latest target is a moving one.
On Friday, the Alliance of Artists and Recording Companies (AARC) — perhaps the most obscure royalty collection outfit around — filed a lawsuit against General Motors, Ford Motor Company and suppliers over auto vehicles that include music-copying devices. Here's the full complaint.
PHOTOS Hollywood's Most Fascinating Legal Sagas, From Casey Kasem to Michael Jackson
The AARC was established after Congress passed the Audio Home Recording Act of 1992 (AHRA). At the time, compact discs were penetrating the market. The law was enacted so that manufacturers of personal media devices could sell products without threat of being sued for contributory copyright infringement. In return, they agreed to pay royalties to the Copyright Office ranging from $1 to $12 per device. The money then gets distributed.
The new lawsuit alleges that that the defendants are skirting obligations for devices seen on such vehicle models as the Buick LaCrosse, the Cadillac CTS, the Chevrolet Volt, the GMC Terrain, the Ford Mustang, the Ford Taurus and the Lincoln Navigator.
"Defendants have violated and continue to violate the AHRA by manufacturing or importing and distributing digital audio recording devices without complying with the AHRA," states the lawsuit. "Defendants distribute these devices either pre-installed in vehicles or intended for use in vehicles. Defendants designed these devices for the express purpose of copying music CDs and other digital musical recordings to a hard drive on the devices, and they market these devices emphasizing that copying function."
If the AHRA doesn't get much press, there's a very good reason. According to records kept by the Copyright Office, the total amount of royalties collected last year on digital audio recording technology was just $748,277.72. That's down 62.44 percent from the previous year.
PHOTOS Capitol Music Group Celebrates Banner Year
And why so little? Here's one possible reason.
In the late 1990s, in one of the only lawsuits ever about the AHRA, the Recording Industry Association of America took Diamond Multimedia Services to court over its Rio MP3 player. The case went up to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which examined whether the Rio was really a digital audio recording device, known in the business as a DARD, or whether it fell under an exemption given to devices "in which one or more computer programs are fixed."
Over the RIAA's objection, the appeals court ruled that exemption covered computers and their hard drives. The RIAA lost, and as a result collected royalties fell precipitously thereafter. The AHRA seemed destined to soon be forgotten.
Until now.
Even though GM refers to their music-copying equipment as a "Hard Drive Device," the plaintiff clearly believes that it should not be given the same treatment afforded the Rio MP3 player. The recording function is alleged to be designed and marketed for the "primary purpose" of copying music.
"All other uses of the Hard Drive Device's recording function are minor or incidental to making digital audio copied recordings," says the complaint filed in DC federal court. "For example, although the device's recording function might also be capable of saving 'favorites' or updating maps for a navigation feature, such other functions are insignificant relative to its ability to copy music CDs."
Now, the record industry seeks to have GM's "Hard Drive," which copies a CD at the click of a "yes," and Ford's "Jukebox" device, a 10GB device that can store up to 2,400 songs, be declared as DARDs.
As such, the plaintiff demands a permanent injunction to restrain the auto companies from distributing these DARD-loaded vehicles. As for damages, the plaintiff demands $2,500 per DARD manufactured, imported, or distributed in the last three years. Do the math on hundreds of thousands of newer vehicles on the road.

We spent the day at Saklikent Gorge, about 50 KM from Fethiye. What an incredible spot!

I am running out of adjectives to describe how beautiful this portion of the trip has been - even words like magnificent, amazing, fabulous can't convey the beauty that we saw.

But it's off-season now and the gulets are moored for the winter. And after looking at tour brochures, I see that they no longer offer all of this on one tour! They break it into 2 and charge twice as much for each.

For the umpteenth time, weddings are not necessarily religious ceremonies. The fact that people get married in Star Trek does not mean religion still exists. The fact that they get married in a room with a lectern does not make that a chapel. There have never been any clergy depicted in Starfleet. The Federation weddings we have seen have all been civil ceremonies. They have nothing to do with religion.
And as far as 'non-denominational' goes, I find it interesting that these 'non-denominational' chapels all have a lectern up front and rows of seats. Meaning, they're designed like small Protestant Christian churches. They aren't designed like Roman Catholic chapels, or Eastern Orthodox chapels. They look a little like a synagogue...maybe...at least an American one (whose design was highly influenced by...that's right...Protestant churches). They look nothing like a mosque or Islamic prayer space.
Having rows of seats, a central lectern, and blank walls in a religiously labeled place like a chapel is a Protestant chapel. It is no less sectarian than it would be if you had rows of prayer rugs and a chanters stand instead. Or if you had a big row of Russian icons in the front. Protestant Christianity is just so ingrained as the majority religion in the U.S. that it passes for 'generic'.

Q.How did you overcome that?
A.I decided that the universe was taking me someplace I needed to go. Once George stepped on board, I was almost in tears. I thought, "Thank God, I know him. I know that he doesn't know what this is all about, either, but that he admires Alfonso." We were both novices in Alfonso's world, but I was so grateful that at least there was something familiar around.
Q.You must have been elated when Alfonso informed you that he had changed his mind, and would not be using the Vomit Comet?
A.He didn't tell me. They purposely led me to believe it was still happening. It wasn't until a few days before we flew to London that George told me.
Q.Why didn't they tell you? I would think that it would have allayed some of your fears?
A.The producer told me later that they decided not to tell me because they felt that I would be so excited about not filming on the Vomit Comet that I would gladly do anything they asked of me. And they were right.
Q.I know you have a tendency to look at the dark side of things, but wouldn't you have to admit that with "The Heat" and "Gravity," your career is in a pretty good place right now?
A.Let's just say it's a good work week.
Q.How was "The Heat?"
A.When the studio found out it was starring two women, they cut everyone's salaries and cut the shooting schedule. But we went ahead and did it. It's like making spaghetti; we threw it against the wall to see if it would stick. The great thing was that they left us alone. We were just the low-budget movie with women in it. No one expected it do well.
Q.How do you react when you're sitting in a studio meeting and they're talking about the Sandra Bullock brand?
A.No one ever, ever has said that in a meeting. If they did, I would walk out.
Q.You understand, though, that you are seen as a valuable property in Hollywood right now?
A.Maybe this week I am. Next week, when I make a choice that doesn't do so well, then I'm not anymore. You can't ever think of yourself as valuable property. If you do, you're destined to have a nice little crash and burn. I expect great failures, and I expect great heights. You can't control it, so you have to be grateful for what you have, and then just live your life.

We've got an exclusive first look at a scene from the chilling & emotional Season 2 premiere of this original drama series. Centered on a tragic school shooting, "School" was recreated for English audiences by renowned director Podz, who also directed a version of the same episode for the French-Canadian version of 19-2.
In "School," patrolman Ben Chartier (Jared Keeso) is reluctantly acting as an informant for the SQ (Sûreté du Québec), trying to uncover the identity of the mole in Station 19. Currently, his partner Nick Barron (Adrian Holmes) is the main suspect. Then, when Nick and Ben are first responders to the most devastating call of their careers, Ben's mission goes awry. The entire squad is embroiled in an intensely tragic school shooting, with consequences that will profoundly impact all of their lives.
Season 2 of 19-2 sees the return of embattled beat partners Ben Chartier and Nick Barron, and delves into their multi-layered relationship as they continue to navigate the streets of Montréal and its systemic corruption. Under pressure from the Sûreté du Québec to uncover the identity of a mole at Station 19, Ben begins to secretly investigate his own squad, challenging his loyalties, and forcing him into a web of lies and deceit. His investigation further complicates both his partnership with Nick, and their burgeoning friendship.
The sophomore season introduces two new characters, Cassius Clement (a.k.a. Kaz), Nick's charming, career-criminal cousin, and Rita, Kaz's girlfriend. By reconnecting with his cousin, Nick begins to explore his own identity and uncover the fate of his father. On the job, Nick is ready to forge a real partnership with Ben but they have secrets that cannot stay buried for long and could ultimately tear the squad apart.
BLUE BLOODS is a drama about a multi-generational family of cops dedicated to New York City law enforcement.
COLD JUSTICE follows two top-notch female investigators as they dig into small town murder cases that have lingered for years without answers or closure - Kelly Siegler, a Texas prosecutor for 21 years who has successfully tried 68 murder cases, and Yolanda McClary, a crime scene investigator who worked more than 7,000 cases in her 26 years in the Las Vegas Police Department. The two put their vast knowledge and experience to work helping local law-enforcement officers and families of violent-crime victims get to the truth.
Criminal Minds is a suspense thriller about an elite squad of FBI profilers who analyze the country's most twisted criminal minds, anticipating their next move before they strike again. Each member of the team brings their own area of expertise to the table as they pinpoint predators' motivations and identify their emotional triggers in order to stop them.
The Strategic Response Unit (SRU) is an elite branch of tactical cops who specialize in high-risk critical incidents. Trained in tactics and psychology, they deal with extreme situations, where split-second decisions could save a life… or cost one. Season 4 relentlessly forces Team One to face tough questions: What would you risk for love, for passion, for duty? How far would you go, to do the right thing?
In Season 3, Kevin Bacon reprises his role as former FBI agent Ryan Hardy, and James Purefoy (ROME) returns as newly incarcerated serial killer Joe Carroll. After two seasons of a deadly chase between Hardy and psychopath Carroll that amassed a large body count of victims, followers, and loved ones, Season 3 of "The Following" sees Carroll behind bars and Hardy striving to begin a new life. When a new menace emerges, Hardy's convictions are challenged as he comes to realize that threats, much more dangerous than Carroll, exist.
Season 2 of GRACELAND takes viewers back inside the California beachfront house dubbed Graceland, inhabited by six undercover agents who live alternate lives outside its walls.
The winner of 6 Emmy® Awards including Outstanding Drama Series, HOMELAND is an edge-of-your-seat sensation. Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody (Emmy® winner Damian Lewis) is both a decorated hero and a serious threat. CIA officer Carrie Mathison (Emmy® winner Claire Danes) is tops in her field despite being bipolar. The delicate dance these two complex characters perform, built on lies, suspicion, and desire, is at the heart of this gripping, emotional thriller in which nothing short of the fate of our nation is at stake.
The Integrated Investigative Bureau (IIB) team moves forward professionally and personally as crime-solving telepath Toby Logan (Craig Olejnik) advances in his policing skills to become an even more effective member of the elite crime-solving unit, while Sgt. Michelle McCluskey (Lauren Lee Smith) struggles to balance motherhood with her career. Complicating matters further is the return of Supervising Inspector Brian Becker (Anthony Lemke, LOST GIRL), whose unfinished business with Toby from Season 1 jeopardizes the success of the IIB team. In addition to new leadership, Alex Kendrick (Natalie Krill, ROOKIE BLUE) joins the team as a forensics technician. Her savvy doesn't go unnoticed by Dev, who is thrilled to have an attractive new colleague and collaborator.
Toby also contends with the new status of his romantic life this season. Having moved in with crime reporter Tia Tremblay (Melanie Scrofano, BEING ERICA), he treads a fine line between being too open about his work and holding back, while Tia begins to look into his mysterious past. And Toby's best friend, Oz Bey (Ennis Esmer), steps away from hospital administration and the world of EMS to take care of people in new ways – as the owner of popular gastropub Pasazade.
A select team in the FBI take on bizarre and perplexing missing person cases.
MOTIVE is an unconventional way to watch a crime drama unfold. Each episode of the new CTV Original Drama begins by revealing not only the victim, but the killer as well. It's not a "whodunit," it's a "whydunit," a question faced by spirited female Vancouver homicide detective Angie Flynn (Kristin Lehman) as she begins to piece together the clues from the crime. How are the victim and killer connected? What is the motive? As the mystery unfolds, the audience navigates a complicated maze of clues alongside the detective and her team.
In the series' signature teaser, viewers meet the killer and the victim in two separate opening vignettes. This surprising format challenges both the lead character and the audience to solve the mystery each week. While Angie sets out to piece together a murder plot, viewers spend time with the killer both before and after the crime, giving them the opportunity to delve inside the mind of a criminal, and understand their motive.
Flashbacks to the killer and victim amplify the tension and reveal their shared backstory. The narrative focuses on the unique cat-and-mouse element of the series as Angie closes in on the killer, and the evidence needed to solve the crime.
MOTIVE's disarming and street-smart lead character Angie Flynn doesn't suffer fools or authority figures lightly. Leading criminals and co-workers alike down the garden path, they soon realize that taking this sexy and sassy force-of-nature at face value is a major mistake. Viewers will be entertained by Angie's character, intrigued by her investigation, and emotionally invested in both.
THE PEOPLE'S COUCH, a 10-episode, half-hour reality series, features eight viewing groups of avid TV fans reacting to, and deliberating on, the buzziest shows of the past week.
In "Perception", Eric McCormack plays Dr. Daniel Pierce, an eccentric neuroscience professor with paranoid schizophrenia who is recruited by the FBI to help solve complex cases. Pierce has an intimate knowledge of human behavior and a masterful understanding of the way the mind works. He also has an uncanny ability to see patterns and look past people's conscious emotions to see what lies beneath.
Pierce's mind may be brilliant, but it's also damaged. He struggles with hallucinations and paranoid delusions brought on by his schizophrenia. Oddly, Daniel considers some of his hallucinations to be a gift. They occasionally allow him to make connections that his conscious mind can't yet process. At other times, the hallucinations become Daniel's greatest curse, leading him to behave in irrational, potentially dangerous ways.
A former CIA operative is recruited by an enigmatic billionaire to prevent violent crimes.
Following last season's climactic finale, which saw Dr. Alex Reid (Erica Durance) fighting for her life after being stabbed in the heart by a patient, Season 3 of "Saving Hope" begins with the passion, pressures, and power plays viewers have come to know and love from the Hope Zion Hospital dream team. There's no break in the action, as Season 3 kicks-off with a bevy of pulse‐pounding surgeries, adrenaline‐addled breakthroughs, sultry romances, and new doctors ready to shake things up.
This season, "Saving Hope's: characters are at the forefront of the storytelling. Relationships anchor the series' leads, while trials and triumphs navigate them through unchartered waters. While Charlie discovers new medical marvels at Hope Zion Hospital that challenge his mind and understanding of his 'spirit‐doctoring', the women in his life continue to challenge his heart.
Joel pushes himself to the brink of doctoring both in the hospital and on the streets, but will his new insights hold fast or will he give in to old habits? Maggie (Julia Taylor Ross) finds herself in a tailspin following her miscarriage, and surprises herself with bold choices in her love life. And just as Dawn's (Michelle Nolden) career hits a new high, she finds herself awakened to what is truly missing from her life.

Taxes: The president says all he wants is for "the wealthiest Americans to pay a little more." But far-left Howard Dean just reminded us Obama wants a lot more from all taxpayers.
Interviewed by MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell on Wednesday, the ex-Vermont governor and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate shocked many with comments that really should have shocked no one.
"This is, initially, gonna seem like heresy from a progressive," Dean said. "The truth is, everybody needs to pay more taxes, not just the rich. That's a good start, but we're not gonna get out of this deficit problem unless we raise taxes across the board."
Dean added, "I actually have mixed feelings about striking a deal where the rich folks pay more taxes," preferring to go over the cliff at the end of the year.
Spending cuts were Dean's chief concern, but selectively so. Pining for Pentagon cuts, Dean had this sneer for the military: "They just ordered new uniforms for their chauffeurs for the top brass."
Adding her intellectual weight on O'Donnell's program was MSNBC commentator Krystal Ball (her real name), whose 15 minutes of infamy came in 2010.
That's when sexually-explicit photos of her surfaced during her far-left Democratic campaign for a redder-than-red Virginia congressional seat, in which she picked up just 35% of the vote.
According to Krystal's crystal ball, "We probably will have to raise taxes on a lot of people."
More taxes for a lot of people? We never heard that during the presidential campaign.
As the Cato Institute's Dan Mitchell recently pointed out, "stealing every penny from every millionaire would run the federal government for only three months." But as Mitchell noted, all along there have been "honest folks on the left who admit that they want ordinary people on the chopping block":
Second-ranking House Democrat Steny Hoyer of Maryland two years ago said tax cuts benefiting the middle class should not be "totally sacrosanct."
Jared Bernstein, who used to be Vice President Joseph Biden's economist, wrote in the Financial Times in August that Obama "will have to include tax increases beyond just the wealthiest households, although that is the right place to start," because "we're way below where we need to be in terms of revenue collection."
In 2010, the New York Times editorial page warned that "more Americans — and not just the rich — are going to have to pay more taxes."
New York Times economics columnist Eduardo Porter, in an August column bemoaning "America's Aversion to Taxes," noted that "virtually every economist knows that just maintaining Medicare and Medicaid benefits will require raising taxes on the middle class."
Iran: The U.S. is giving away the store, the farm and the kitchen sink to Tehran while the terror regime retains nuclear bomb-making capability. For President Obama, a fabricated legacy trumps security.Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, writing in the New York Times last ...
Harry Reid: The Senate minority leader says he's retiring when his current term is up at the end of 2016 and is being lauded for his decades of public service. But we don't think the fulsome praise is warranted.Already the bouquets are being tossed. "Our children, grandchildren will grow up in a ...
Terrorism: An Illinois National Guardsman sought to fight with Islamic State as his cousin plotted to kill scores at an Illinois National Guard facility. If they had succeeded, would President Obama call it workplace violence?President Obama's "JV" terrorist team has metastasized to the point where ...
Fiscal Policy: It says a lot about Washington addictions that when Republicans passed their budget resolution after 18 hours of debate Friday, Democrats and media began howling over "deep cuts" in social spending.Really? That's an almost comical charge, given that even the GOP budget would spend ...
Many older Americans may not like — or at least empathize with — Kids These Days. But there are selfish reasons to spend more taxpayer money on the young all the same. This is the framework I wish Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam had emphasized in his new best-seller, "Our ...

This is essentially a dissertation about the evolution of the relationship between visual and verbal representation. As I see it, this is largely a movement from paragone to symbiosis. Along the way, the relation among these technically divergent forms shows itself to be a very porous border. Through a methodology that incorporates pertinent perspectives from continental philosophies, detailed readings of poetry from several traditions, and a genealogical approach to the history of the idea of the visual and the verbal, this dissertation will show how the deepened complexities that innovations in the visual arts--particularly technological innovations such as photography and film--led to mutually enriching responses in the verbal arts. Not only does the poetics of modernism come to embrace the visual, but it in fact absorbs into itself many of the capacities long held to be the terrain of the visual. Rather than being an appropriative and final paragonal urge, I read this aspect of modernist poetics as one that shows its poetry to be responsive to changes outside of its own medium in remarkably sensitive and complex ways.$
Abstract To Have and Have Not: A Poetics of Ambivalence in the Ciné-écriture of Marguerite Duras, Assia Djebar, and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala by Deborah Kassel Adviser: Professor André Aciman In this study I examine the theme of ambivalence as a fundamental aspect of three artists' personal and aesthetic identities. Marguerite Duras, Assia Djebar, and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala distinguish themselves by their commitment to a "total work of art" that resists discrete compartmentalization by genre, medium, or politics. In appreciation for their role as "dual-practitioners," I assert that they be referred to as ciné-romanciers, a variation on the term ciné-roman, originally coined by Armand Astruc. The nomenclature is especially apt, as it implies hybridity both in form and substance. Duras, Djebar, and Jhabvala create on screen and in print characters that struggle with competing cultural, religious, and aesthetic identities. This dissertation focuses on selected examples of what I refer to as ciné-écriture, a multi-media-enriched practice foregrounding the play of competing allegiance and betrayal, of belonging and exile.
This dissertation examines how Modernist autobiographical prose texts centralize ecstasy, the paradoxical experience of being beyond the normal awareness of self and time. Even seminal autobiographers such as Augustine and Rousseau confront problems in self-representation that are themselves rooted in both the limitations of linear time for articulating certain moments in a life and narrative reliance on absolute distinctions between the sentient subject and the world's objects. Alternative modern models on literary subjectivity and perspectives on discontinuous time are distilled from essays by Walter Pater, Marcel Proust, Virginia Woolf, Samuel Beckett, and Walter Benjamin. I integrate these literary interventions with phenomenological theories of subject-object collaboration in sensation and perception and Leo Bersani's theory of reciprocity between the self as an 'aesthetic subject,' and the world. The project then turns to a reexamination of autobiographical projects by James Joyce, Colette, and Jean Genet. Even it in its earliest draft forms, Joyce's novel Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1914) equates the spontaneous linguistic inventions in childhood with a foundational, sense-based form of body-world association that is severely undermined by the civilizing maturation of Stephen Dedalus, a predicament informed by Joyce's interest in cyclical theories about human history. Turning to the work of Colette, I evaluate how her novel about music-hall pantomime and dance, La Vagabonde (1910) and her pictorial and poetic memoir La Naissance du jour (1928) depict ecstatic experience in figurations of silence and solitude, breaking with the representational style around dialogue and sociability most associated with her literary self-portraits. Jean Genet's first and final memoirs Journal du voleur (1947) and Un Captif amoureux (1986), as well as his hybrid fragment essays on perception and the visual and plastic arts exemplify how lived experiences achieve significance only when their latent ecstatic properties are articulated in a nonlinear lyrical form. The dissertation concludes by suggesting how the force of authorial presence and the ecstatic dimensions of experiences are reconciled in the materiality of a highly personalized language, a perspective made paradigmatic by the idiosyncratic style of autobiographer Michel Leiris.
The work presented here is an exploration of the poetry and life of Jean Sénac, and through Sénac, of the larger role of poetry in the political and social movements of the 50s, 60s, and early 70s, mainly in Algeria and America. While Sénac was part of the European community in Algeria, his position regarding French rule changed dramatically over the course of the Algerian War, (between 1954 and 1962) and upon independence, he became one the rare French to return to his adopted homeland. I will argue, sometimes polemically, that Sénac was and should be considered a properly Algerian poet even though he was (and in many ways still is) considered an outsider because of his European origins, because he had no particular ties to either the Arab or Berber cultures, because he was gay and more fundamentally because he was claiming the right to be an Algerian poet "who had unequivocally chosen the Algerian nation". I will also argue that there are important ties to consider between the Algerian and American poetic contexts, which illuminate the larger era of post-colonialism through the poetic expression of popular movements, which often inspired poets in their use of language and their relation to the political space poetry came to occupy.
This dissertation is a survey of what I call "analytical fiction" in nine representative texts: Ovid's Metamorphoses, Boccaccio's Elegy of Madonna Fiammetta, Lyly's Euphues, Marguerite de Navarre's Heptameron, Lafayette's Princess of Clèves, Richardson's Clarissa and The History of Sir Charles Grandison, Austen's Persuasion, and Stendhal's Armance. My thesis examines the underlying motifs and narrative temperament of a sub-genre that depicts how narrators and characters dissect, anatomize, and interpret their own thoughts, motivations, and actions in literature written well before the formalization of psychoanalytic theory. Analytical fiction is ultimately about reading; it is concerned with the relationship between knowledge and feeling in characters, and the networks of understanding between authors and readers, between narrators and characters, and between one character and another. The plots of analytical fiction comprise narrators and characters who are constantly faced with false, incomplete, or withheld information, misprision, doubt, and confusion, leading to self-deception, jealousy, and crises of love. Above all, what these works share is a tendency on the part of the narration to keep characters apart, to trap them in a closed, confusing society, and to defer, for as long as possible, any chance of intimacy, finality, or resolution.
Signs all over New York City state, "If you see something, say something," but museum studies repeatedly find viewers do not attend to pictures, just as eye witness testimony is invariably skewed. Ways of seeing have been limited to known ways of discussing. Alternative approaches offer new insights. The first section, "Experiments in Art Writing," examines two texts: T.J. Clark's The Sight of Death, a journal of his daily visits looking at two Poussin paintings, for which he maintains the ambiguity of exploration and argues to keep visual images from their dissolution into political symbols; and, Charles Simic's Dime Store Alchemy: The Art of Joseph Cornell, which foregrounds the imaginative as necessary to a critical reception of art. The second section, "Literary Ekphrases as Art History and Theory," examines a passage in Proust and a poem by William Carlos Williams to suggest that poetry and prose fiction not only introduce readers to art history but are extensions of the discussed visual works' own art history, and then turns to Don DeLillo's Point Omega to study the arguments around representation as voiced and experienced by the characters, and to suggest a move away from the concept of representation. The final section, "The Writing on the Wall," analyzes captions from Tate Modern's little-known but significant caption project Bigger Picture to develop a theoretical validation for such an experimental program. These authors show us how they see rather than simply what they see, and so reveal the advantages and dangers in their choices, recommending we develop renditions of what we see, where to see means both a visual ability and an articulate response.
Because the betrayal is closely connected to the crucifixion and the resurrection, Judas Iscariot, perhaps the most infamous personage of the New Testament, occupies a privileged place in the Christian imagination. Judas figures prominently in patristic commentaries and exegetics, as well as in a number of extra-canonical texts and traditions from late Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and beyond. This project considers the matter of Judas in two apocryphal legends of the later Middle Ages, situating them between canonical and extra-canonical traditions, and focuses on their circulation in British and Irish manuscripts. This original research rests upon a philological foundation, correcting a number of errors in previous scholarship on these texts. The first legend, De ortu Judae, is an Oedipodean biography of Judas that fills in gaps left by the evangelists and uses the 30 silver coins paid to Judas as the basis of an explanation for the betrayal of Jesus. Close comparison of Latin and Middle English texts shows that Jacobus of Voragine's Legenda Aurea is the direct source of the South English Legendary version of the Judas legend, rather than the anonymous Historia Apocrypha as some scholars have suggested. A further conclusion, that the unknown SEL poet was creative and innovative, is supported by annotated translations into modern English prose of the South English Legendary chapters on Judas and Pilate. In the second legend, De gallo redivivo, the miraculous resuscitation of a cooked cock proves to Judas the error of his ways, ultimately providing a motivation for his suicide, as well as making an explicit connection between the sins of Judas's betrayal and Peter's denials of Jesus. This apocryphon also links the 30 silver coins paid to Judas with the 30 silver hoops placed around the rood-tree by King David, centuries before its wood was made into Christ's cross. An examination of the Latin manuscript traditions demonstrates that, despite thematic similarities, De ortu Judae and De gallo redivivo hardly ever circulated together, and that, moreover, they were not integrated into a continuous narrative. Analysis of Judas texts from the Leabhar Breac and several other late medieval Irish manuscripts yields a preliminary conclusion that while De gallo redivivo was attested in the Irish vernacular, De ortu Judae was not well represented in Ireland and may even have been unknown there. Another conclusion that may be drawn from the test case of Judas is that there was always a great deal of interaction between canonical scriptures and apocryphal writings, and, for that matter, between official interpretations and popular traditions.
My 2005 translation of Mouloud Feraoun's Le Fils du pauvre, Menrad, instituteur kabyle, sought to correct an historical error by presenting this Algerian Francophone classic to an American audience for the first time since its publication in 1950. A central figure of the first generation of Algerian intellectuals to compellingly represent in fictional form the internal lives of native people during the era of French colonialism, Feraoun (1917-1962) embodied a moderate, humanist, culturally situated viewpoint that was ultimately sacrificed by all sides to the extremism and violence of decolonization. Choosing to work from the original edition, rather than the edition edited for French audiences on the eve of the Algerian revolution, my translation restores an entire section of the novel and offers a new glimpse of Feraoun's larger literary project. The work presented here is dual in form: As a translation commentary, it seeks to evoke, trace and illuminate the wager of Feraoun's first autobiographical novel from its inception to it troubled reception and its continuing impact. As a translation journey, it offers an evocative meditation on the audacity of any writer to pass from silence to authorship and sketches out in a comparative framework the connections and disconnections between Algeria and America. I argue that we have not translated Feraoun because Feraoun's work mapped a territory whose political boundaries imploded, yet whose human parameters were and remain universal. Today, we have much to gain from listening to the astute, ironic and deeply humane interrogations of this Berber-Muslim voice.
This thesis is the first full-length study to compare Dostoevsky's and James's mutually illuminating concepts of art and its relation to life. It examines Dostoevsky's and James's artistic and intellectual kinship through the hitherto overlooked structural and thematic parallels between their fiction and criticism. Both authors distinguish between two concepts of reality: the external, objective reality--the raw material of life, infinitely rich and abundant, but ultimately meaningless in its indiscriminate inclusiveness; and what James calls the "transmuted real," reality rendered meaningful through individual perception and experience and reflected in art. When it comes to the inner reality of the self, one finds in the fiction of Dostoevsky and James the same distinction between the "raw" material of interior reality, indeterminate and "unfinalizable," and the meaningful social identity formed in the process of self-actualization--the creative effort of life-writing. Dostoevsky's "White Nights" and James's "The Beast in the Jungle" are examples of failure at life-writing resulting from individual consciousness' disengagement and isolation from external world. Concerned as they are with the inner workings of the psyche, Dostoevsky and James nevertheless stress that a living consciousness is characterised by interaction, i.e. it is always conscious of other consciousnesses. Yet Daisy Miller and Notes from the Underground dramatize the problems inherent in such interaction. Both novellas focus on the discrepancy between the essential indeterminacy of the self and the social and cultural identities through which it is allowed to express itself in a social setting. The freedom to preserve indeterminacy and potentiality is presented in both novellas as the chief law of life, yet indeterminacy is incompatible with communal living. In The Idiot and The Wings of the Dove, Dostoevsky and James present artistic imagination and such forms of literary activity as plotting, scripting, reading and narrating as essential parts of self-scripting strategies of the characters confronted with this predicament. Despite Myshkin's and Milly's failures as heroes, they nevertheless succeed in realizing their artistic potential, embodying art's capacity for reconciling the self's vital impulses for being and for seeing, and therefore for meeting both aesthetic and ethical demands of life.

Nice...but they ride up I loved the color and material of these shorts, but they ride up on your thighs as you run (which is a little annoying because you have to constantly pull them down). They are very comfortable though and sit at my waist when I do run, which is rare. March 1, 2015

Tomb Raider: Legend (xbox 360, 2006) J - Loose Inside - D
Indeed a legend in her own time, Lara Croft returns to consoles in 2006 with a new look, a new game, and a new developer. Revamped physics and an enhanced control scheme allow for more free-flowing action, while graphical improvements present a redesigned Lara who is immediately expressive, more believably proportioned, and as strikingly attractive as ever.Lady Croft's new look in Legend is based in part on 20-year-old British model Karima Adebibe. Lara now boasts smoother animations, a more realistic deportment, and a number of costume changes. The original Tomb Raider games were popular for their innovative blend of gaming styles as well as for their distinguished female lead, however, and this game is designed to return fans to the winning combination of 3D platforming, environmental puzzle-solving, and third-person shooting found in the blockbuster originals.While the storyline of Tomb Raider: Legend is told around the series' traditional tomb raiding action, Lara must also adventure thr
