The Jack Corbett Guide to Georgia's topless clubs uses a unique five star rating system to evaluate Georgia's strip clubs to save you valuable time so that you can find the clubs that serve your needs best.
Here's the way it works. If I think a club averages 15 or more dancers per shift, this club gets a star as I believe the best clubs will be able to attract and to keep a large enough number of girls to provide variety to its customers. 2. If a club does not have a web site, then I believe that club's ownership is brain dead, so---no star. 3. If a club has feature entertainers I believe that club is going the extra mile to provide that little extra level of entertainment to its customers--so yes, that club is going to get a star. 4. If a club charges more than six bucks for a drink or beer, then I'm thinking that club owner--owners is greedy, and "Oh no, no gold star for you." 5. Lastly, when you have customers in your club, particularly at night, at some point they are going to get hungry, and when they do if you don't have food, they are going to leave and usually not come back that night. So it makes good business sense to serve food even if it's something simple.
Note to club owners--Please e-mail me at if you have a site I have omitted in this guide as I will be more than happy to link it in your listing in order to give your patrons the accurate and detailed information they deserve. Do keep in mind, however, that you will be expected to provide this web site a return link.

Why Good Intentions are Often Not Enough: The Potential for Ethical Blindness in Legal Decision-MakingKath HallAustralian National University - ANU College of Law November 4, 2009 REAFFIRMING LEGAL ETHICS: TAKING STOCK AND NEW IDEAS, Reid Mortensen, Michael Robertson, Lillian Corbin, Francesca Bartlett, Kieran Tranter, eds., Routledge, Forthcoming ANU College of Law Research Paper No. 09-32 Abstract: This chapter takes as its starting point the question of how otherwise experienced and principled lawyers can make blatantly unethical decisions. As recent research has shown, lawyers can become involved in legitimizing inhuman conduct just as they can in perpetuating accounting fraud or hiding client scandal. To an outsider looking at these circumstances, it invariably appears that the lawyers involved consciously acted immorally. Within the common framework of deliberative action, we tend to see unethical behaviour as the result of conscious and controlled mental processes. Whilst awareness is always part of our actions, this chapter challenges the pervasiveness of assumptions about the power of conscious processes in ethical decision making. Drawing on a range of psychological research, it focuses on two important findings: first, that automatic mental processes are far more dominant in our thinking than most of us are aware; and second, that because we do not generally have introspective access to these processes, we infer from their results what the important factors in our decision making must be. These findings challenge the notion that individuals can be fully aware of what influences them to act ethically or unethically. It also suggests that we need to concentrate upon those conscious processes that we do know influence decision making in deepening our understanding of how to improve ethical awareness.

Bordeaux 2013: En primeur week preview

Many Chateaux who already cut prices for the 2011 and 2012 vintages are now being urged to do so once more. Alain Raynaud, head of the Grande Cercle de Bordeaux, believes prices must drop by around 30% versus 2012 in order for 2013 wines to be attractive to consumers. One chateau, Pontet-Canet, raised a few eyebrows this week by releasing its 2013 vintage at €60-a-bottle ex-Bordeaux, holding its price from 2012. If you like wine and you haven't spent the past six months in quiet contemplation in solitary confinement, you'll probably understand at this point that Bordeaux 2013 has been unusually tricky. 'I've seen things I've never seen before,' one producer told Decanter.com in London last week. As Decanter.com discovered on the ground in Bordeaux this week, there is also talk of 'surprising' quality among wines that have squeezed through the stringent selection regime enforced by many estates. And yet, no one will really know anything until next week, when many of the world's wine critics, journalists and bloggers descend on Bordeaux to put the new vintage through its paces. What we can say, for now, is that much of Bordeaux is in a delicate state. Exports of the region's wine fell by 6% in value and 2% in volume last year, with shipments to China down by 16% and 18% in volume and value respectively. Several commentators have pointed to buyers' heightened sensitivity to price. Take Latour, which has extricated itself from the en primeur process, but two weeks ago released its 2004 at around £4,380 for a 12-bottle case. 'The price proved just too ambitious in what's evidently a weak market that's buying relative value "bargains" but baulks at premiums however pristine the provenance,' Bordeaux Index buyer Oliver Sharp told Decanter.com. More generally, the Liv-ex fine wine trading platform reported this month that Bordeaux's market share of trades had hit a nine-year low, albeit still accounting for 74% of trades by value. At the top end of the market, Bordeaux is not only competing with other regions, such as Burgundy, Rhone, Champagne or Tuscany - prices for back-vintages of some Bordeaux chateaux look more attractive than they have for years. 'This is an unprecedented period of weakness in the long history of the Bordeaux market and, while it seems eternal, it won't be and some great wines are cheap,' said Miles Davis, partner at Wine Asset Managers in the UK. The 2013 vintage must navigate a route through this turbulence. For consumers, while we must wait for proper quality assessments, there is clearly the potential for some good deals - perhaps even on estates that have been out of reach to many for some time.

Microsoft Honors Soldiers Angels
- Andrea Chalupa
At Microsoft's and USO's Salute to Our Troops yesterday, winners of the Microsoft Above and Beyond Awards were honored with a special production of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular and a luncheon at the Rainbow Room. The Above and Beyond Award "recognizes the contributions of the military support community--family, friends, and other individuals--who brighten the lives of US Troops and their families throughout the world." One of the winners included Patti Patton-Bader founder of the organization soldiersangels.org which sends care packages and specialized computers to soldiers abroad.
Soldiers Angels' main initiative is its Project Valour-IT. This project has provided thousands of voice-activated laptops to injured troops. It was founded in memory of SFC William Ziegenfuss who served seventeen years in the United States Army as a medic. Previously diagnosed with Cancer, Ziegenfuss was wounded in Iraq in June 2005. During his time there, he kept a blog and wrote captivating descriptions of his experiences while informing his wife of his condition. However, his injuries hampered his ability to type. At one point, his disability became so severe that his hands had to be sewn onto his stomach. Luckily, a generous reader sent him a copy of Dragon Naturally Speaking Software (Nuance), which allows people to work their PC entirely by voice.
Ziegenfuss recognized the importance of this software and teamed up with Soldier's Angels in order to provide laptops with voice-controlled software. "When Major Ziggenfuss began using the software, he said that it was the first time he felt whole after being injured," said Patti Patton-Bader. "We're so lucky that we now have 180,000 members of Soldier's Angels, and we have presented 1,600 laptops to wounded soldiers most of whom don't have limbs or sight."
Other winners of the Microsoft Above and Beyond Awards included Brittany and Robbie Bergquist, fifteen and sixteen year olds who have raised nearly one million dollars toward the donation of more than 450,000 phone-cards equaling 2.5 million minutes of talk time for soldiers serving overseas. "We're all living proof that any little idea can leave a mark on the world," Brittany Bergquist said.

Reports: NHL may have agreed on a contract for Ilya Kovalchuk and the Devils
Aug 27, 2010, 2:23 PM EDT
Ilya Kovalchuk's quest to re-sign with the New Jersey Devils may finally be at an end.
Yahoo's Puck Daddy Greg Wyshynski and Fire & Ice's Tom Gulitti are both reporting via Twitter that the NHL may given the approval to a contract for Ilya Kovalchuk with the New Jersey Devils. Keep in mind, there's absolutely nothing confirmed here at all.
As always, this story is developing and things can change at a moment's notice. Of course if you didn't know that with this entire saga, you haven't really been paying close attention. We'll keep you posted nonetheless.
- StakeX - Aug 27, 2010 at 10:30 PM
If this is indeed true, I certainly hope the contract is legit. If it is, then great. If its still questionable, and far too close to the original contract… then the NHL is going to look like it buckeled as soon as Kovalchuk threatened to bolt to Russia.
While a drug out battle with the Devils and Kovalchuk wouldn't be good, it also wouldn't be good at all for the NHL to get the reputation that players can push them around.

So when the Shelby County Schools board voted 6-0 Monday, June 23, to extend the three-year contract of superintendent Dorsey Hopson through June 2018, it was a mandate by the board for the student achievement gains Hopson and the board have set as goals.

Peoria police search for double shooting suspect
Peoria Police are looking for a suspect in a double shooting Sunday that killed a 17-year-old boy. Police say Marquis Costic is wanted in the shooting at Warren and Butler Streets that left Treyshawn Blakely dead. Police say another unidentified person was shot during the same incident and taken to a local hospital. Costic is described as a five-foot-seven black male with braided hair. Police say they did NOT recover the semi-automatic murder weapon at his home, but did find other weapons. Costic is considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call the police or Crime Stoppers. Blakely was the second person in Peoria to die from gunfire the past few days. Kelsey Coleman, who was 32, was shot to death early Friday in a home invasion.

December 2012 / IMTS 2012 Roundup
Additive manufacturing company ExOne says its new M-FLEX 3-D printing system vastly increases print speeds and manufacturing capabilities for industrial products. The system can print metal, tungsten, glass and ceramic parts, and offers manufacturers seven times the volume compared to its previous printer, according to the North Huntingdon, Pa.,-based company.
The mid-sized system is primarily for manufacturing metal parts for mining, automotive and energy industries. Tungsten, glass, ceramics and a variety of materials can be used for the casting industry.
The M-FLEX's productivity improvements and increased flexibility are housed in a build chamber that measures 400mm × 250mm × 250mm and can achieve build speeds of 30 seconds per layer.
"We've made tremendous strides in 3-D printing in the last decade and what our machines can do today is simply remarkable. We are printing engine castings for helicopters and replacing broken pumps in oil fields in days—not months," said Dave Burns, president of ExOne.
The machine can be used for prototypes or short runs. The complete system includes a printer, recycling equipment, printing materials, a furnace and a comprehensive multimedia training program.

Fiji became independent in 1970, after nearly a century as a British colony. Democratic rule was interrupted by two military coups in 1987, caused by concern over a government perceived as dominated by the Indian community (descendants of contract laborers brought to the islands by the British in the 19th century). A 1990 constitution favored native Melanesian control of Fiji, but led to heavy Indian emigration; the population loss resulted in economic difficulties, but ensured that Melanesians became the majority. Amendments enacted in 1997 made the constitution more equitable. Free and peaceful elections in 1999 resulted in a government led by an Indo-Fijian, but a coup in May 2000 ushered in a prolonged period of political turmoil. Parliamentary elections held in August 2001 provided Fiji with a democratically elected government and gave a mandate to the government of Prime Minister Laisenia QARASE. Location:
Oceania, island group in the South Pacific Ocean, about two-thirds of the way from Hawaii to New Zealand
893,354 (July 2005 est.)
- overview:
Fiji, endowed with forest, mineral, and fish resources, is one of the most developed of the Pacific island economies, though still with a large subsistence sector. Sugar exports and a growing tourist industry - with 300,000 to 400,000 tourists annually - are the major sources of foreign exchange. Fiji's sugar has special access to European Union markets, but will be harmed by the EU's decision to cut sugar subsidies. Sugar processing makes up one-third of industrial activity, but is not efficient. Long-term problems include low investment, uncertain land ownership rights, and the government's ability to manage its budget. Yet short-run economic prospects are good, provided tensions do not again erupt between indigenous Fijians and Indo-Fijians. Overseas remittances from Fijians working in Kuwait and Iraq have increased significantly. Import - partners:
Australia 25.9%, Singapore 23.1%, New Zealand 21.1% (2004)

The first flight for the re-engined E-8C J-STARS is scheduled for 17 Dec., from the NG facility in Melbourne, FL. NG is the prime contractor for this re-engine program. The new engine will be the JT-8D-219 engine, used on the commerical MD-88 airliner. The USAF will give this engine a military designation later. The test aircraft is E-8C T-3, which was originally the E-8B orignal J-STARS test aircraft. There were two E-8A test aircraft, also, later brought up to the E-8B and finally the E-8C configueration. The test engines, reversers and Seven-Q-Seven (SQS) pylons (called the propulsion pod system) were removed from the privately owned B-707-SQS aircraft, which already has completed FAA supplemential test certification. Should these flight tests be a success, this may be an answer to the USAF tanker problem, as it would be easy for NG to up-grade the KC-135E aircraft with this SQS propulsion pod system. http://www.afmc.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123126470 A similar subject was also discussed here on a.net back in August 2001. http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/military/read.main/2940/

Acute-exercise-induced alterations in calpain and calpastatin expression in rat muscle. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 19561365 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
CONTEXT: Calpains and calpastatin can degrade muscle proteins, but no research has investigated the expression pattern of calpains and calpastatin after exhaustive exercise. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the alterations in expression of micro-, m-, and n-calpain and calpastatin after exhaustive exercise and its association with muscle injury. METHOD: 64 rats divided into 2 groups, a nonexercise control group and an acute-exhaustive-exercise (AEE) group. Biopsies in the AEE group were taken at different times after exercise. RESULTS: Calpastatin protein expression and m-calpain activity increased early after exercise, but both n-calpain protein expression and micro-calpain activity generally decreased with time. n-Calpain mRNA expression was down-regulated from late after exercise. CONCLUSIONS: The increased m-calpain activity might promote muscle-protein degradation and muscle injury. On the contrary, calpastatin might execute a protective function against muscle injury. The change in micro-calpain activity was found earlier than muscle injury and therefore might serve as a useful predictor of muscle injury. |

Wanted: Debate on codification of privileges APROPOS of Dr V. Eshwar Anands article
The tyranny of privileges: Codification a must to check abuse a power (Nov 28), the existing privileges give legislatures too much discretion to decide what constitutes a breach of privilege or contempt of the House. Unfortunately, there is no clear definition of what constitutes a breach of privilege. As a result, it is very difficult for one to know whether a certain act constitutes contempt of the House. So legislatures themselves should define privileges in conformity with the Fundamental Rights guaranteed by the Constitution and the principles of natural justice. Dissent or difference of opinion is the hallmark of a democracy. Healthy criticism is a must for effective administration and good governance. Politicians should not have egos. They are supposed to check their arbitrariness and arrogance. Democracy itself guarantees dissent. The Press cannot be held responsible for ferreting out the truth. It is time for a nationwide debate on codification of privileges of the legislators for the protection of the freedom of the Press. As the Press is an important pillar of democracy, all attempts to gag it should be resisted. GURDERSHAN SINGH, |
II I endorse the view that the Tamil Nadu Assemblys action on The Hindu smacks of Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaas dictatorship which poses a serious threat to democracy. Healthy criticism by the media should always be encouraged as this will put the government on the right track. No leader in this country can stand before the might of the Press. On their part, the general public will not allow muzzling of the Press under any circumstances. No individual can arrogate to himself the sovereignty that vests in the Constitution. What happened in Tamil Nadu is a clear violation of the Constitution. There is an urgent need to codify the privileges of the legislators so that the privileges are not used as tools to muzzle the voice of the media and browbeat the journalists. Prof K.L. BATRA, Yamunanagar III Apropos of Dr V. Eshwar Anands article The tyranny of privileges, in a healthy and functional democracy, the freedom of speech and expression, more so in the case of the Press, is the pre-requisite of any judicious governance. Is it not ironical that the legislators consider themselves beyond the reach of the law even when they throw mikes, paperweights and chairs at one another in the full glare of TV cameras and visitors in the galleries? No doubt, the privileges and the honour of a House should always be maintained because therein lies the healthy growth of a democracy. However, have the presiding officers of these legislatures never felt perturbed when many of its members turn out to be proven criminals and against whom criminal cases are pending in different courts of the country? Ms Jayalalithaa, whose very political existence is based on dubious deeds of omission and commission, should look inward before trampling upon the Indian Press that has always maintained the highest standards objective reporting. At present, the need is not of a well-defined and unambiguous code of parliamentary privileges but stopping our wayward politicians from making an arbitrary and whimsical use of their constitutional power. VED GULIANI, Hisar
Untrained architects The Himachal Pradesh Town and Country Planning Department has authorised some categories of professionals/ persons to deal with the architectural jobs for which they are not qualified and trained. Such professionals pose themselves as architects in their drawings and visiting cards, willfully avoiding to disclose their actual qualifications, misleading and befooling the general public for monetary gains. It may be noted that any person who can draw lines is not an architect in the strict sense of the term. As per the Architects Act, 1972, it is totally prohibited for a person to practice as an architect except the person registered with The Council of Architecture. The Architect Act, 1972, is a Central law and is applicable throughout India as per Gazette notification of the Government of India No. 229, dated Sept. 1, 1972. Architectural services come under 8 per cent Service Tax of Central Excise and Customs. Architects registered with the Council of Architecture pay the tax regularly but the persons authorised to do practice in planning areas of town and country planning in Himachal Pradesh are not deposing the same though they are doing the same work, making no contribution to the government. AMIT SOOD, Architect, Solan Strong will needed Apropos of the editorial
Compounding a crime (Nov 30), I dont think shifting the liquor by mere 150 yards from national/state highways will really dissuade people from drinking while driving. However, cancelling the driving licence of a person for the rest of his life or awarding exemplary punishment, if found drunk while driving, may act as a deterrent. For this a strong will is required as most of those who matter are themselves a part of the cocktail circuit. RAJNISH, Shimla |

Metadata only available from this repository.Abstract
MicroRNAs can be specifically expressed in forensically relevant body fluids such as blood
or saliva. The aim of the study was to develop a simultaneous extraction and analysis
protocol that allows for the acquisition of a DNA profile and the identity of the body fluid
using a single process. DNA and microRNA were extracted from blood and saliva before
undergoing a cDNA synthesis step by using stem-loop reverse transcription PCR. The
resulting extracts containing DNA and cDNA synthesised from body fluid specific miRNA
markers then underwent standard STR analysis using a modified ABI AmpfSTR NGMSElect
kit. In all samples, a full DNA profile was obtained along with additional peaks
corresponding to the miRNA marker targeted. In all cases, blood samples profiled exhibited a
peak indicating the presence of the blood specific miRNA marker and the saliva sample
profiled exhibited a peak indicating the presence of the saliva specific miRNA marker

In recent years a number of art centres have been established throughout the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands which stretch across the north of South Australia. In these communities, many with only basic facilities, the art centres provide a culturally appropriate way for people to achieve economic independence on their own country.
The community of Amata, some 380 kms south of Mparntwe (Alice Springs), and its surrounding homelands are serviced by Tjala Arts. This Aboriginal-owned and managed corporation was established by the women of the community as Minymaku Arts (Ladies Arts) in 1997, but renamed in 2006 to reflect the increased involvement of men, such as senior artist Hector Burton.
The art centre documentation for this works states: This painting tells the story of the caterpillars ' anumara'. The anumara is the large edible caterpillar with a hook on its tail. It is a story about kinship groups – represented by north and south. Hector is in one group – the south (anumara). His uncles, nephews and fathers are in the other – the north (muya muya and ngalyakanti – the other caterpillars). All the caterpillars travelled from places in the north and the south and all met up in one resting place (ngura). When the minima (women) and tjitji (children) arrive, the women dance in the fire and give the man the ceremonial stick. This is a beautiful ceremony which Hector went through, long ago. This ceremony was not performed for a long time, until more recently, when men from Amata took part.

Frequently Answered Questions
Anyone who spends time using a computer workstation will appreciate the importance of setting up an ergonomic computer desk and workspace. Even small adjustments in the position of a keyboard or monitor or using an ergonomic foot rest can make a big difference in reducing pain or eye strain.
Setting up an ergonomic computer desk and workspace is not difficult. Just keep the basic ergonomic principles in mind, and determine the right ergonomic products for your workspace.
Basic Ergonomic Computer Desk Principles
The Ergonomic Computer Desk: Your Work Surface
When setting up an ergonomic computer desk, the work surface height is a great place to start. If you have your desk already, note the shape of the desk edge you'll be facing when you work. A traditional, rectangular desk with a straight edge provides the most flexibility in setting up a monitor and keyboard tray. However, there are easy solutions for desks that form a radius, diagonal or 90-degree corner -- popular configurations in today's home and commercial office spaces. Adjustable-height work surfaces are ideal for stations with multiple users.
<< View our Height Adjustable Desks
Your Monitor
Your monitor should be placed on your ergonomic computer desk such that the top of the screen is at eye level or slightly below. This keeps eye strain to a minimum and can help reduce back and shoulder pain. To adjust the height properly, you may need a monitor lift or arm. Your chair height (see below) will also affect the monitor position.
<< View our Monitor Arms
Your Keyboard and Mouse
Your keyboard position is one of the most critical aspects of your ergonomic computer desk. A large percentage of repetitive motion injuries stem from incorrect keyboard and/or mouse positioning. Adjust the height of your ergonomic keyboard tray so that your forearms are parallel to the floor, with your elbows at a 90° angle. Be sure to use an ergonomic wrist support with your keyboard and an adjustable mouse tray, positioned in line with your keyboard tray.
<< View our Ergonomic Keyboard Tray Systems
Seating Comfort
Another key part of creating an ergonomic computer desk is selecting a comfortable chair. Ergonomically designed chairs have backs that are adjustable in height and angle. They typically have some lumbar support, but often people with back pain will use an ergonomic back support in addition. Your chair should have adjustable-height arm rests as well. Once you set up your ergonomic computer desk and adjust your chair to a comfortable height, be sure your feet are flat on the floor. If not, you may need a foot rest to elevate them.
<< View our Ergonomic Foot Rests
Equipment Access
Your ergonomic computer desk isn't complete without accessories that make it easier for you to reach computer equipment and view your work. A CPU holder can help reduce back strain by holding your CPU securely, and bringing it up off the floor and closer to you. A document holder that that holds your work vertically at eye level can help minimize neck pain.
Keeping these principles of setting up an ergonomic computer desk in mind can help you ease any current pain you may be feeling, and it may help reduce your chance of getting repetitive motion injuries in the future.

The Obama administration in 2012 sidestepped the legislative gridlock that has existed in Washington for more than a decade over immigration policymaking and reframed the debate in a significant way with the launch of a program that provides a two-year reprieve from deportation for eligible unauthorized immigrants who were brought to the United States as children.
Migration flows that were stalled for a period by the pronounced recession that began in 2008 have resumed to a number of OECD countries, including the United States where there appears to be a slight increase in Mexican migration for the first time in several years. More migrants seem to be choosing emerging economies, including Brazil, China, and South Africa, over traditional destinations.
There were more than 53 million nonimmigrant (temporary) admissions to the United States in 2011. MPI's Qingqing Ji and Jeanne Batalova outline the definition of nonimmigrants and take a detailed look at admissions data and data limitations in this spotlight.
MPI's Muzaffar Chishti and Claire Bergeron report on the prospects for immigration reform in the 113th Congress, delays in the creation of a racial profiling statistical monitoring tool for Secure Communities, an increase in Mexican asylum seekers, and more.
In 2011, more than 1 million people were granted lawful permanent resident status in the United States. Nearly two-thirds of new LPRs were immigrants with family ties in the United States, report MPI's Joseph Russell and Jeanne Batalova in this updated look at the latest statistics on legal immigration.
Recent Activity
The U.S. government spends more on federal immigration enforcement than on all other principal federal criminal law enforcement agencies combined, allocating nearly $187 billion since 1986. This report traces the evolution of the immigration enforcement system, analyzing how programs and policies resulted in a complex, interconnected, cross-agency system.
The U.S. government has increased its attention to public security issues in Mexico and Central America since 2007. This report suggest the policy emphasis has begun to shift away from the earlier focus on combating drug trafficking and transnational crime toward addressing the citizen security crisis.
Over the past two decades, governing institutions in Mexico and parts of Central America have proven too primitive to cope with the volatility of democratic transitions. Organized crime has taken over key activities of various levels of government and corruption has become more entrenched. These regions must face the challenge of building democratic institutions capable of engaging in good governance.
The event discussion, which touched on the intersection of race and immigration, focused on the demographics of Black immigrants (both African and Caribbean) in the United States and their children, their educational success, and the implications of the recently released volume's findings for research and public policy.
This interdisciplinary volume examines the health, well-being, school readiness, and academic achievement of children in Black immigrant families (most with parents from Africa and the Caribbean)—a population that has had little academic attention even as it represents an increasing share of the U.S. Black child population.
Crime and insecurity are undermining economic and social prosperity in Mexico and Central America, eroding public trust in government institutions. This report examines current economic, social, and political costs resulting from insecurity, and future implications.
This report outline the long-standing pattern of northern Central American governments' inattention to their borders – probing root causes that range from institutional, economic, and resource challenges to corruption and weak government structures.
The growth of organized crime in Mexico and Central America has dramatically increased the risks that migrants crossing the region face. As this report outlines, migrants increasingly are forced to seek the assistance of intermediaries, and those unable to afford one are more likely to be abused along the way.

Val Kilmer does not sound like himself.
"I'm a coward. I've always been a coward," he proclaims, his voice deepening into a syrupy southern drawl as he waves his arms grandly. "I'm not just a member of that parade of cowardice. I'm at the front, proudly carrying the flag!"
Kilmer laughed heartily. "How can you resist such honesty?"
The 53-year-old actor wasn't talking about his own flaws. He is working on his latest role, Mark Twain – Kilmer's one-man show, "Citizen Twain," a labor of love almost 10 years in the making, opens tonight at the Kirk Douglas Theatre for a three-week run – and like any self-respecting Method actor, Kilmer frequently morphs into the character he has been studying so assiduously for so long.
"There's a kind of fearlessness to everything he said and did," Kilmer said of Twain. "We don't have any comparison to him. He was such a maverick. He really paved the way for lots of ideas and even forms of art. He was the first comedian in the modern mold, for example. He could just stand on stage with a newspaper and say, 'What happened today?"' and make an evening of it."
The biggest legacy of Twain, American's most influential man of letters in the 19th century, was the effect his writing had on otherwise intransigent people, Kilmer said.
"He touched people who had grown up with all these hurtful traditions of racism and slavery. He knew that if you're going to make change you have to make converts. And his style was so effective and persuasive. He forced this country to address the issue of racism after the Civil War, arguably to greater effect than any politician of the time."
Kilmer has been fascinated with Twain and his era of American history for a long time.
"My dad spent many years of his youth living on Indian land. My grandfather was a prospector in the Southwest. Maybe that's where my love of American history comes from. These real-life cowboy-and-Indian stories that I heard from my dad when I was growing up captured my imagination."
The Twain project began as a movie concept, which Kilmer still hasn't abandoned. But he acknowledges it's as much of a dream now as when he started a decade ago.
"I'm proud to announce that after 10 years of work I'm only five years away from directing my first film." Kilmer chuckled. "That's probably where I'm at. I should have responded to my instincts and sold my ranch years ago." (In 2011 Kilmer sold his 6,000-acre ranch in New Mexico.)
Kilmer lamented that the page-to-screen roadblocks are bigger than ever these days.
"It's difficult to get financing now for a first-time director, and of course for period pictures."
In the meantime, Kilmer is content to tour the play, which he has presented in various forms for several years.
"I might go to the West End. I'm planning to tour the U.S. in a kind of laissez -faire way to see what comes up organically with the idea of heading toward Broadway. I was there recently to talk to some producers – getting my education."
Flaws, humor make 'the quintessential American'
Kilmer is best known for his major film roles over the last three decades – "Real Genius," "Top Gun," "Willow," "The Doors," "Tombstone," "Heat," "Batman Forever" – but his theater résumé is surprisingly large.
While a student at Juilliard, he starred in a play he co-authored at the New York Shakespeare Festival. In 1983 he appeared off Broadway in "The Slab Boys" with Kevin Bacon and Sean Penn.
Even after his movie career took off, Kilmer made time off to appear on stage. He played Hamlet at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival in 1988. In 2004, Kilmer tackled the role of Moses in an ill-fated Los Angeles musical, "The Ten Commandments," produced by BCBG founder Max Azria. Kilmer starred in a London production of "The Postman Always Rings Twice" the next year.
Kilmer's Twain show has a plot of sorts. In his research, he became fascinated with Twain's contentious public relationship with Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Christian Science church.
"He really had this love-hate relationship with her," Kilmer said. "They never met. But I think he wanted to (meet her), and that's the premise of my story."
For a time, Eddy was Twain's equal in fame, at least in America, Kilmer learned. "They were both called on an almost daily basis by the press for comments on world events."
Twain, who was famously critical of religion, picked on Eddy's faith and values.
"It probably had more to do with God than Mrs. Eddy," Kilmer said. "One of Mrs. Eddy's favorite words was 'love.' Twain would respond, 'He took my daughter away in my house on Christmas Eve with a seizure. How is this love? He tears out my beating heart and slaps me in the face with it.'"
Kilmer suspects Twain's views on religion were more complicated than he admitted.
"He's remembered now as mostly an agnostic or an atheist. I don't think that's correct. In an unpublished manuscript his daughter Clara said he regretted how hard he was on Mrs. Eddy in print. He really felt more empathy for Christian Science than he cared to admit."
America's current familiarity with Twain stems in large part from Hal Holbrook's famous portrayal. For six decades, the veteran actor has brought the Missourian to life in a beloved one-man show. The question has to be asked: what does Holbrook think of Kilmer's project?
"He has been so gracious, very supportive," Kilmer said. "He owns this guy in a way and so it has meant a lot to me that he's given me his blessing."
Perhaps Holbrook could sense that Kilmer doesn't wear this mantle lightly. He shares Holbrook's level of passion about Twain.
"If you were to pick a narrator of the American story, Twain would be in the top five, and immediately several guys would get knocked out. Ben Franklin couldn't provide a complete perspective. Martin Luther King left us too soon."
"And Twain was wonderfully flawed – a failure at many things. Yet he persisted. To me, that's what makes him the perfect mirror of the country. He's the quintessential American."

Atrial fibrillation, also known as AF or AFib, is a heart condition. With AFib, the two upper chambers of the heart, called the atria, are out of rhythm. This irregular beating causes blood flow problems throughout the body. This reduced blood flow, and the resulting lowered oxygen levels, leads to symptoms like:
- weakness
- fatigue
- shortness of breath
- heart palpitations
- dizziness
- chest pain and discomfort
Possible Complications
People with AFib are at increased risk of serious complications, including stroke and heart failure. Strokes are caused by blockages in blood vessels that supply the brain. When a blood clot blocks such a blood vessel, that part of the brain becomes deprived of oxygen and may be damaged as a result. Heart failure occurs when the heart is so weakened that it can no longer pump enough blood throughout the body to keep it alive.
Risk for Stroke
According to the American Heart Association, people who have atrial fibrillation are at about five times the normal risk of developing stroke. There are two reasons for this:
- The out-of-sync rhythm of the heart's upper chambers can cause blood to collect. When this happens, clots are more likely to form from that pooled blood.
- The generally poor heart rhythm is inefficient, and pumps blood more slowly throughout the body. When blood is not moving normally, it has a greater chance to clot inside the blood vessels.
In both cases, once clots have formed, they can break loose and travel through the circulatory system to the brain. If a clot lodges in one of the brain's blood vessels, blood (and oxygen) is cut off and a stroke occurs.
While stroke is a very serious and sometimes fatal condition, you are not powerless. There are many ways you can be proactive and reduce your risk of stroke.
Reducing Your Risk
While it's true that AFib ups your stroke risk, you are at an even higher risk when one or more other risk factors are also present. Choices you make in your daily life can affect your risk, for better or for worse, as can other health conditions and the way you manage them.
Lifestyle changes that help reduce the risk of stroke include:
- quitting smoking: Smoking cigarettes reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood, contributing to the formation of clots. It can also increase the amount of plaque built up in the arteries.
- reducing caffeine consumption: Even small amounts of caffeine, a stimulant, can raise your blood pressure and make your heart work harder.
- avoiding other stimulants: These include the stimulants present in over-the-counter cold medicines.
- lowering cholesterol: Diets high in fat and cholesterol contribute to clogged arteries, making blood clots more likely to form.
Other, related health conditions can put you at an even greater risk for stroke if they are not managed carefully. Some of these are:
- high blood pressure: If left untreated, high blood pressure causes damage to the walls of veins and arteries. This can cause the walls to grow thicker, narrowing the blood vessels and increasing the risk of clots and stroke.
- diabetes: People with uncontrolled diabetes are more likely to have conditions like high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, and high cholesterol. All of these conditions are risk factors for stroke.
- obesity: Obesity is a strain on the whole circulatory system, and also increases your risk of other heart complications. Both situations further increase the risk of stroke.
If you have any of these conditions along with your atrial fibrillation, talk to your doctor about how you can manage them. Take your medications and insulin as directed. Be proactive about managing your weight through diet, safe exercise, and other lifestyle changes.

There's a lot of stories in the press about luxury phones at the moment, probably because of a revelation by Chris Harris, marketing director of Nokia's Vertu phones, that the company cannot keep up with demand for the 5K-100K handsets. Of course, that's most likely because they're hand-built in a British workshop rather than any excessive consumer demand.
These phones sell based on "the charm of diamonds and the sophistication of gold", although personally I'd find a solid gold handset a little heavy.
The most interesting aspect in all of this is that the average upgrade cycle for a mobile phone is only a couple of years — buying a status symbol is one thing, but spending up to $1.2 million on a phone that's going to be obsolete within a few years is just… so these handsets don't have the latest technological features, or even the second latest, but they'll still work for a while. "The market for selling mobiles is getting very mature, and we are reaching a plateau of innovation that makes the technology inside relevant for longer periods of time…"These phones offer all the technical things that people really use, not the latest mobile phone functions," Olivier said. "The most important function for many users might be a hot line we will put in to get you a concierge service."
Let's move on to designer phones of a more technological nature — the latest doing the rounds is the Onyx, which doesn't have any buttons. "The Onyx device understands signs and gestures, thanks to the sensitive touch pad covering most of its surface. It opens and closes applications when swiped by one or two fingers. The phone recognizes shapes and body parts. Lift Onyx to your cheek and it will pick up a call." These kinds of innovations will appeal to some people, and the variety of phones on the market is going to increase…and when I hear that sort of thing the first thing that pops into my head is "oh, those poor developers". Porting an application to phones with different button layouts is one thing, but porting it to a phone with no buttons is another matter entirely. Whether or not that puts a limit on the new phones depends on whether or not the industry can convince the majority of the public that phones can be used for more than voice calls.
"Future cell phones may be closely linked to users' lifestyles and interests, such as gaming, politics, and college sports", which is already happening in a few instances but isn't overly successful (N-Gage, ESPN), but it may be where the market is heading.

Sorry, Adam Carolla, the IRS Will Never Be Abolished -- Ever
April 17th, 2015
The Daily Banter Headline Grab (via Yahoo! News):
CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (Reuters) – The big protests that were planned outside the Republican National Convention last week in Tampa, Florida, never really materialized, doused in part by a tropical storm. But activists say they expect a stronger showing this week, when Democrats gather for their nominating convention in Charlotte.
If Sunday's march in Charlotte was any gauge, those predictions might fizzle. Police said about 800 to 1,000 demonstrators paraded through the city, far less than the thousands some had predicted would gather to protest everything from big banks to the deportation of immigrants.
The 80-plus groups that make up the Coalition to March on Wall Street South held a 3-mile (5-km) march on Sunday aimed at putting a spotlight on Charlotte as the United States' second-largest financial center, behind New York.
Activists stopped in front of the headquarters of Bank of America and utility Duke Energy to speak out against what they see as a range of injustices, including foreclosures and high student loan debt.

Reviews by andreahubert
Anything with NPH is usually awesome. Love Dream On.
This story is loosely part of a series by this author. Mitch is an interesting character and Paige is very easy to like.
This is a book loosely connected to several other books by this same author. They tell the story of a family that it's fairly easy to like. Ryan and Lauren are both fun characters that make it easy to root for them.
This is one my favorite picture books. It tells the story of a girl who is so worried about what other people think of her that she's willing to hide who she really is (or what she really likes) in order to have friends. She completely loses herself and becomes one with her environment. Even very young children enjoy this story, even if it is a little long for the very young children back.
Typical Vince Vaughn movie. He plays a slacker who is in trouble, a rocky relationship with his girlfriend. Then suddenly he finds out that he is the biological father of over 500 children some of whom are trying to find out who is he. He has a change of heart and starts to meet some of the children without revealing his identity. So in the end everything works out for him as usual.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — One of four suspended white students accused of hate crimes against a black student at a California college has pleaded not guilty.
Logan Beaschler entered his plea to misdemeanor hate crime and misdemeanor battery charges during his arraignment in Santa Clara County Superior Court on Monday. The 18-year-old is one of four freshmen at San Jose State University charged with racially tormenting their black roommate between August and October.
Authorities say the white students taunted the black student with racial slurs, barricaded him in his room and placed a U-shaped bicycle lock around his neck.
The other students have not yet entered pleas. Beaschler is due back in court on March 4.
The alleged incident sparked outrage and demonstrations on campus and led the university to set up a task force that will conduct an independent review.
