Familial feelings from Philip Selway
A few hours ago Radiohead tweeted:
"Hello from @philipselway – if you'd like to download a free MP3 from my album, please visit www.philipselway.com Thank you x"
Indeed over on PhilipSelway.com is the first track from the Radiohead drummer's debut solo album, Familial. The track is called "By Some Miracle", is a delicate lullaby-like acoustic number. Listen below and download for free for the cost of an email address at Selway's site. The full album comes out in August on Bella Union. The song is rather nice, though whether his efforts will be enough to dislodge "drummer from Radiohead" prefixes from his name remain to be seen.

Best SoCal KTM Dealership Service Department?

I can't recommend any, but I can say to stay the H E double hockey sticks away from Del Amo Motorsports (Redondo Beach, Long Beach, Costa Mesa) locations. I was there to give a buddy a ride who bought a bike from them (and the super extended warranty).
The Service manager called a customer while we were there and he blamed a leaky brake master cylinder on the way the STOCK lever was adjusted. He told the customer over the phone that he owed them $175 for the diagnostic work (to tell that the MC was leaking???) and that it would be $475 for the part and another $175 labor to install, plus brake fluid and a few other ancillaries, and that the final bill would be around $900!!!!!!!
So my buddies bike is in for a fried R/R. Service Desk jerk starts to give him the 9th degree about what he's done/modified on the bike. HID's? Chain? Sprockets?, etc.. He keeps telling them "nothing, it's like the day I bought it from you". 20 questions later, the service guy starts to say that the R/R won't be covered by the warranty, because there's a power commander installed (Buddy answered "yes" to that 1 of the 20 questions). Buddy proceeds to tell Service Jerk that it was installed when he bought the bike, that they should have the bike/modifications in their system since they serviced it and then sold it to him, and how can he already tell it won't be covered by warranty when he hasn't even looked at the bike to know what color it is.
Now you see why I wouldn't recommend them...

I've written a bit on Origen in the past (e.g., here). He's one of my favorite early Christian writers. He's also one of Pope Benedict's favorites. In his catechetical series on the fathers, Benedict XVI spent two lectures on Origen (many only got one).
Well, now we have more of Origen than ever before. In a spectacular new discovery, lost works of his have apparently been found!

Female Protagonists: Do They Need to be Friend Material?
Guest on Jun 23 2013 | Filed under: CRAFT
We're thrilled to host today's guest, Andrea Lochen. Although Andrea dreamed of being an author since the third grade, she didn't realize creative writing was "an actual thing" until she stumbled upon the writing program at the University of Wisconsin. Andrea went on to receive her MFA from the University of Michigan. During that time, she was able to complete a rough draft of The Repeat Year, which received a Hopwood Award for the Novel. Andrea has taught writing at the University of Michigan and currently teaches at the University of Wisconsin-Waukesha. She lives in suburban Milwaukee with her husband and their adorably fluffy dog, Maddy. In her free time, she likes to bake cupcakes and cakes, spend time with her family, see musicals and plays, and read as much as humanly possible. The Repeat Year is her first novel.
What's the book about?
Everyone has days, weeks, even months they wish they could do over—but what about an entire year? After living through the worst twelve months of her life, intensive care nurse Olive Watson is given a second chance to relive her past and attempt to discover where she went wrong.
After a year of hardships including a messy breakup with her longtime boyfriend Phil, the prospect of her mother's remarriage, and heartbreaking patient losses at the hospital, Olive is ready to start fresh. But when she wakes up in her ex-boyfriend's bed on New Year's Day 2011—a day she has already lived—Olive's world is turned upside down.
Shouldering a year of memories that no one else can recall, even Olive begins to question herself—until she discovers that she is not alone. Crossing paths with Sherry Witan, an experienced "repeater," Olive learns that she has the chance to rewrite her future. Given the opportunity of a lifetime, Olive has to decide what she really wants. Should she make different choices, or accept her life as she knows it, flaws and all?
As a debut women's fiction writer, Andrea has found that her characters are often judged by what she calls "the friend factor." We're excited that she's joined us today to explore the issue of likeability in female characters–how important is it? Do authors compromise the story they want to tell in order to create a protagonist with whom readers would like to have coffee? And do readers tend to be more accepting of unlikeable male characters?
Hear more about what Andrea has to say on her website or on Facebook.
Female Protagonists: Do They Need to be Friend Material?
Much has been written about the "likeability" quandary of literary characters. The Publishers Weekly interview with Claire Messud about her new novel The Woman Upstairs resurrected this debate. When the interviewer mentioned she wouldn't want to be friends with Messud's protagonist, Nora, Messud shot back, "For heaven's sake, what kind of question is that? Would you want to be friends with Humbert Humbert? Would you want to be friends with Mickey Sabbath? Saleem Sinai? Hamlet? Krapp? Oedipus? Oscar Wao? Antigone? Raskolnikov? Any of the characters in The Corrections?…If you're reading to find friends, you're in deep trouble. We read to find life, in all its possibilities. The relevant question isn't 'is this a potential friend for me?' but 'is this character alive?'"
When I first read her response, I felt an inward divide between my perspectives as both a writer and a reader. The writer in me thrilled. Right on, Claire! Tell it like it is! As a debut author of a women's fiction novel, The Repeat Year, I find my characters are often judged based on "the friend factor"—would the reader want to be friends with Olive, Kerrigan, Sherry, and the others? Or as Tessa Hadley put it in The New Yorker, "If ever I go to talk to book groups when they're reading my book, this likeability issue is always what comes up—'Oh, I didn't like her', 'she's so selfish,' or 'I couldn't find anyone to like.' Or—more comforting for the author but, in the end, part of the same problem—'I really liked your character.'" Many readers review books based on how pleasant their time spent with the characters was and if they morally agree with the characters' choices, and this can be a problematic disconnect between readers and writers.
At the same time, the avid reader in me asked, What's so bad about likeable characters? I LIKE likeable characters! Readers tend to gravitate toward protagonists they can relate to, characters with sparkling personalities that they wish they could befriend in real life. (I would love to be best friends with Elizabeth Bennet, Jo March, Marisa de los Santos' Cornelia Brown or any of the main characters from The Help.) Jennifer Weiner maintained in Slate: "I will freely admit to reading books to find friends. I did it when I was young, and friendless; I do it now that I'm an adult…Sure, I'll stick with a compelling villain, or a warts-and-all portrayal of a real person…but I won't deny myself the pleasures of a funny, frank, intimate take on being a mother, a wife, a woman whose dreams have been thwarted by her real-world responsibilities." Weiner offers a vision where there is room for characters across the spectrum: "Ideally, our shelves, and even individual books, should contain the rainbow…for the lovable and the despicable, for Humbert Humbert and Hannibal Lecter, for Bridget Jones and even the poor, scorned Ya-Ya Sisterhood."
But the problem is female novelists are getting boxed in and pressured to write characters who are more likeable in order to have their books sell. And although writers of both genders can face the unlikeable character accusation, there does seem to be a strong double standard. As Rivka Galchen suggested, "we are well-trained to like 'unappealing' male characters—so much so that I would imagine anyone who wanted their male character to be truly and deeply unlikeable would face quite a challenge. Conversely, we are not well-trained to like anyone other than the basically virtuous and proficient female protagonist." But how do we go about this "training," especially if authors and their audience have different objectives?
As writers, we are taught that characters shouldn't be perfect people. In fact, they should be flawed human beings who come across as both realistic and believable. If our characters are flawless, there is no conflict, nothing interesting is happening, and the reader is probably bored. In the book I consider to be the Bible of writing, Janet Burroway and Elizabeth Stuckey-French's Writing Fiction, (from which I was taught as an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin and which I currently use to teach Creative Writing to my own college students), they make the distinction that "we must care about what happens to them [fictional characters]." It's one thing to like and care about a character because she is kind, generous, and selfless. It is quite another thing to care about a character even when she is arrogant, petty, and irresponsible: to believe in characters so much that we are invested in what happens to them in spite of their flaws.
The Repeat Year is a clever meditation on time travel. In Lochen's hands, it's far more than a plot gimmick —it's about the myriad ways we second-guess and sabotage ourselves in the name of finding happiness. Her characters must find ways to let go of regrets and cherish the small moments of love in life, right now. I enjoyed this a lot."
– Margaret Dilloway, author of How to Be An American Housewife and The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns
And this is the real challenge of fiction—rendering the most unlikable characters as lovable, flaws and all. The more we read, the more empathetic we become because we feel momentarily that we have inhabited their skin and understand what it is like to be them. When Vladimir Nabokov wrote Lolita, he knew what an uncomfortable and disturbing position he was putting his readers in, asking us to empathize with a child molester. And even while we despise Humbert Humbert, we can't help continuing to read the novel and wonder what will happen to both him and Lolita.
Of course, not all readers will appreciate these types of characters, and it is the reader's prerogative and right to choose. I think one of the reasons why J.K. Rowling's adult novel The Casual Vacancy was met with such mixed reviews was because the characters in the Harry Potter series are some of the most beloved, likeable characters ever written. Readers were therefore startled to encounter the residents of Pagford who seemed judgmental and self-absorbed. But more importantly, their motives were always clear, and at times as I read it, I was moved to pity because I felt I understood the culmination of all their choices, mistakes, secret hopes and fears. In my opinion, that is one of the most important gifts that good books offer us.
I read it as a sign of progress that writers like Claire Messud are pushing against these stereotypes. Maybe in the future this notion of female characters needing to be agreeable will be dispelled. Maybe their personalities will run the gamut, just like real-life women. But until then, my advice is to focus less on making your characters likeable and more on making them interesting and believable. And if you're like me, and you love your characters, even the truly flawed ones, hopefully that love will come through to your readers and they will enjoy the lesson in empathy.
As a reader, what do you expect from characters? Do you open a book hoping to find a friend within its pages, or is it more satisfying for you to discover flawed characters with whom you learn to empathize, despite themselves? As a writer, do you struggle with this dilemma? If so, how have you chosen to handle it?

Congratulations, Andrea, on the book release.
A wonderful and thought evoking post. It particularly struck a chord with me because just recently I've written a heroine who had run off with her sister's fiancé a week before the wedding, leaving the sister feeling hurt and betrayed. I write for Harlequin and in romantic fiction a heroine with negative shades is difficult to digest. It was a challenge going into her character and bringing out her reasons which I thoroughly enjoyed. We aren't always perfect so why should our characters (or heroines) be? Great post. Thanks!
Seems to me that if a reader doesn't "like" a character, the author has succeeded in bringing the character to life, given it enough dimension someone can come to a conclusion. Nobody gets along with everybody and characters reflect that fact. If authors attempt to create "likeable" characters, they are bound to be cardboard and flat. Comes down to a richness of life kind of thing which is what fiction is all about.
I love likable characters, and am fascinated by unlikable ones! Some twang your heart, some pinch your arm. Either way, I find that for me, wanting to know more, turn the page, finish the book, is not predicated on the likability but on the skill with which the author has imagined and written the character and the story.
Thanks for a thoughtful post, Andrea! xo
One of my favorite female protagonists (written by a male) is Dolores Price of "She's Come Undone." I hated her throughout the novel and then cried at the loss of her when the book was done. The key is your investment in the character's decisions that make you keep reading.
When I visit book clubs many women judge Angie, the mother in ALICE BLISS, very harshly. I have learned that we give moms almost no "margin of error" and expect them to perform perfectly no matter what the situation. This, of course, is ridiculous.
I would find myself talking about how much I love flawed characters as their eyes seemed to glaze over.
Now thanks to you, I will ask readers, Do you have to like a character to care about her and be invested in the choices she makes? It should make for some interesting discussion.
Thank you for teasing apart all of the strands of the "likability" issue.
Great insight, Laura–and helpful. In my experience, more "sophisticated" readers (for lack of a better word) have an easier time accepting "unlikeable" characters. It has to do with the motives for reading–whether for insight and understanding & to be challenged–to probe the world–or for the mental equivalent of a mall massage. I know that sounds judgmental–but I'm all for mall massages!
Of course, if you want readers to like your character and they don't, that bears investigating! (I know whereof I speak!)
It's really valuable to be able to adjust to your readers and to challenge them a bit (vis your question to book groups) and so deepen the dialogue.
This is actually quite fascinating to me. My editor's comments included a note which said that one of my characters should have more female friends because book clubs were by in large groups of women friends. I guess the comment went to making her relatable . I complied. Nevertheless I tend to like to isolate my characters. I'll have to think on this for a while. Great post.
I do not believe characters need to be likable, but I am disappointed when there is not a single character I would enjoy having a cup of coffee with. Some characters can and should be reprehensible, but the friend factor is crucial in series where the protagonist has to get readers to buy the next book.
When was growing up (I'm still growing up) I always wanted to be the main character, so if I didn't like the main character, I didn't like the book. Now that I'm older, I don't have to be the main character, but I do want to like them on some level. If I sort of like the MC, then I need to have a valuable, supporting character to like. I want good supporting character regardless though.
Male or female, it doesn't matter for this guy. She can be a jackass, promiscuous, selfish, brutal bitch (Vi Savori), or an intelligent, manipulating, selfish, masterminding bitch (G. Kirena), but if the character (male or female) has a meniscal measure of self-sacrifice, love, or any heart wrenching admirable quality coupled with other traits, like sarcasm, or a funny naiveté, then I can still like'em. Watching the characters change to those awesome traits is even better. By the way, the two female characters I was just referring are frickin awesome DIVAS. I love them to pieces. The character I liked least in that same story involving the awesome women was one of the purest characters of the story. It didn't make her very likeable for me.
So…….. What makes a likeable character? What makes an unappealing character? Which readers are skewing the standards, males or females? Are those fair questions?
I think Gillian Flynn's characters are perfect examples for this post.
I think?
I think, as writers, we need to write our characters honestly and bravely, with, as you said, warts and all. "Friendly" characters do well in popular fiction and I think the writer must be aware of the potential for readers to dislike their characters, but this should not stop them from being true to their characters. Agents and editors may disagree and the writer may be required to soften some of the sharper edges of personality, but you have to identify the reason you needed to write the character in the way that you did, and be true to that intention.
On a side note, I think the whole need for women writers and female characters to "be more likeable" stems from the underlying sexism still rampant in society (as well as the publishing industry). A powerful, no-nonsense businessman is rarrely called an asshole, even if he is one. A powerful, no-nonsense businesswoman is nearly always called a bitch, even if it's only behind her back.
Excellent post and great food for thought.
Hi Andrea, a few readers of my WIP have not liked some of my protagonist's behaviors and I've struggled with whether to change her. She's a crusader with a big heart and bad social skills. My decision was to let her be herself. Thanks for the timely blog and everyone's helpful comments. I feel better now.
I love this subject. I don't read to find friends. I love the statement "to find life" but I also read to be entertained. Some read to escape their own existence.
I think as long as we can relate to the character, it doesn't matter is we like her or not. I mean, look at Scarlet O'Hara. She was one selfish little brat. Yet … the whole world embraced her and championed her.
I love to see a protagonist with some not-so-nice qualities too. It makes me feel better to know I'm not alone. :)
Congrats on the publication of your debut novel, Andrea! Thank you for sharing this great post. Excellent topic. One I often grouse about. As readers, we have a much higher tolerance for deeply-flawed or unlikeable male protagonists. However, the bar is much higher for female protagonists. We often force them to pass the BFF test.
I love reading about flawed, broken characters. They are fascinating to me. Yet, as a writer, I sometimes find myself hesitant to make a character say or do a particular thing because I'm worried it will turn readers off.
The character in my debut novel coming out next month does pass the BFF test. The heroine of my second novel slated for later this year is edgier. She's often selfish and thoughtless. Says and does the wrong things. It will be interesting to see how readers respond to both characters.
"I would imagine anyone who wanted their male character to be truly and deeply unlikeable would face quite a challenge…"
I'd have to quite disagree with this quote. It may apply in some sense to bad boys in so-called chick lit, but what about Duddy Kravitz? Holden Caufield? The main male characters in On The Road and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?
Granted, the authors probably didn't set out to make their characters "truly and deeply unlikeable," as evidenced by the great numbers of readers who find something sympathetic about them. But I'm sure there are others besides myself who just couldn't find enough redeeming qualities to forgive the characters' failings.
As someone who is writing an ensemble female cast, female character variety is a must; I want a whole spectrum here! It makes for better interactions for one thing. For me, the real issue is not likability, but whether you elicit an emotional response, regardless of what that is. It draws you in. "The character you love to hate," yes? The likable characters you want to root for; the darker/unlikable characters you want to root for their demise or their reform when it's done right, in my opinion.
I also think there is a lot of cultural pressure to be the "good girl" and so when we write, that lens colors our writing (or we struggle against it) and then when reading, that same lens colors our impression. Maybe we are subconsciously looking for a character we can imitate? There was definitely an element of wanting friends when I read when I was child, and there are definitely characters I wish were real so we could be friends, (or characters I just wanted to "be" and who wants to be the bad guy?) but that's a side effect for me: my number one reason to read is to be entertained and/or taken in, taken away. Everyone's going to have their preference on what literary vehicle is taking them away (and who's driving it!) ;)
Perhaps, just perhaps, the "requirement" to write a nice, friendly protagonist, with an obligatory happy ending, is part of what creates the ghetto of Women's Fiction. If you like the ghetto, no worries. If you aspire to break out and grab for the gold ring of literary respect, consider Claire Messud's advice carefully.
Oh dear, I recently wrote a post on this. I completely agree, I think female characters have it a hundred times tougher than male characters, who can be likeable both as villains or "bad boys," but "bad girls" are simply those that sleep around, in the the stereotypical sense. I have absolutely no issues with girls that speak their mind, curse, or happen to be rude because that's who they are. I want to see them live, as Messud said. I also hope that this changes and drifts to readers having different expectations of female characters, or just enjoying them for who they are. Yes, I love loveable characters but I don't befriend every character I read. It's a rare and special event. If it happens, great, if not, I can still enjoy the story. If anything, I'm curious to see how and if they will grow and change their ways. Thanks for the epic post!
When I decided to create a female assassin, I knew I was treading on thin ice – my readers wouldn't be able to relate to her on a personal lever (I hoped!), but I had to give them enough about her to be willing to root for her as the novel progressed.
It was less about trying to create a "BFF" and more about creating someone who was a real person, with her own set of strengths and weaknesses, and situations in her past that had made her the woman she is. The feedback and reviews I've gotten suggest that it worked.
It's a tough call for sure.
I recently wrote an entry about the fact I have so few female protagonists in my writing. Which is weird because I AM female… it's a little harder for me because I don't have a lot of female friends and those I do have are like me in that we don't fit into the box of what girls are typically like.
We're not into make-up, dressing up or jewlery. I'm more of a nerd and a tomboy. And when I do write about female characters, I feel self-conscious that those reading my work will look beyond them and judge me because they're either selfish or too self-centered or a "take no prisoners" type of person.
As for writing likable characters, that's even harder to manage because finding the right balance is so difficult. How much should certain flaws be exploited for the sake of storytelling? Can their actions be forgiven if they're not quite what the story needs?
In TV and movies, unlikeable characters have won people over, but it's a little more difficult, I think. If you're writing for a mass audience for the first time, it might be easier to establish that trust with likeable characters unless you're REALLY good at making unlikeable characters as well as Don Draper or Gregory House have.

Antarctic summer ice melting 10 times faster: Study
Published on Apr 15, 2013 10:31 AM
SYDNEY (AFP) - Summer ice in the Antarctic is melting 10 times quicker than it was 600 years ago, with the most rapid melt occurring in the last 50 years, a joint Australian-British study showed on Monday.
A research team from the Australian National University and the British Antarctic Survey drilled a 364-metre long ice core from James Ross Island in the continent's north to measure past temperatures in the area.
Visible layers in the ice core indicated periods when summer snow on the ice cap thawed and then refroze.
By measuring the thickness of these melt layers, the scientists were able to examine how the history of melting compared with changes in temperature at the ice core site over the last 1,000 years.

Apr 28, 2013I find this game to be a lot of fun. Gore and sexuality through the roof, and blood, blood, blood, blood, blood. The combat is more refined than it was in the first one and the graphics are a huge step in the right direction. The cheat codes spice things up, and this is just a fun hack-n-slash title to pick up and play every now and again. It's campy, it's gory, it's sexy, and it's very enjoyable.
It feels like a one-night brainstorming session came up with a whole bunch of random ideas thrown in a pot and clumsily stirred. There might be a good game in here somewhere, but it needs to cook a lot longer.
Everything the original should have been two years ago but wasn't: intense, gritty, ultra-violent, stylish and a lot of fun to play through... ONCE!
Out of nowhere, BloodRayne 2 ranks among PS2's best hack-n-slash titles. [Dec 2004, p.124]

How is RSV infection diagnosed?
The diagnosis of RSV infection can be made by a number of different laboratory tests, including isolation of the virus, detection of viral antigens, detection of viral RNA, demonstration of a rise in serum antibodies, or a combination of these approaches. Most clinical laboratories today use nasal swab tests based on antigen detection to diagnose RSV infection. This technique is 80%-90% reliable. A newer test protocol (RT-PCR) is more reliable and is replacing the antigen-detecting test in many hospitals and community laboratories.
What is the treatment for an RSV infection?
Reader Stories
For children with mild RSV disease, no specific treatment is necessary other than the treatment of symptoms (such as acetaminophen [Tylenol] to reduce fever).
Children with more severe disease may require oxygen therapy and sometimes mechanical ventilation. Ribavirin aerosol (Virazole) may be used in the treatment of some patients with severe disease. Some investigators have used a combination of intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) with high titers of neutralizing RSV antibody (RSV-IVIG) and ribavirin to treat patients with compromised immune systems.
How can RSV infection be prevented?
Frequent hand washing and not sharing items such as cups, glasses, and utensils with people who have RSV illness should decrease the spread of virus to others.
Excluding children with colds or other respiratory illnesses (without fever) who are well enough to attend child care or school settings will probably not decrease the transmission of RSV, since it is often spread in the early stages of illness prior to the development of more severe symptoms.
In a hospital setting, RSV transmission can and should be prevented by strict attention to contact precautions, such as hand washing and wearing gowns and gloves.
In 1998, a new product called palivizumab (Synagis) was licensed to help prevent severe RSV disease in certain high-risk infants with predisposing factors such as moderate/severe prematurity, chronic lung disease, congenital heart disease, etc. Palivizumab is not a treatment for RSV but rather a tool to help prevent RSV infection. Those receiving Synagis receive a monthly injection during the RSV season.

Holy Week was one of the richest sources of inspiration for many of Europe's Renaissance composers. As the tension mounted in the approach to the crucifixion and resurrection, the music accompanying the liturgy would become more emotional and highly wrought. The greatest drama was found in the candlelit service of Tenebrae held at sunset; the shadows lengthening as the candles were extinguished one by one.
In this candlelit programme on the eve of Maundy Thursday Chapelle du Roi performs music from the three great days.

Comment: Getting fit. (Score 1) 635
I would suggest changing you focus from 'staying fit at work' to 'get fit in general.' Work is not making you out of shape. Once you make up your mind to get fit, it isn't difficult.
1. Log everything the goes in your mouth. Everything. Gum. Coffee. Water. Cough drops. Vitamins. Get a very accurate count on calories. Alter the foods you eat to drop the calories to a normal level.
2. Ate lunch at your desk, then go for a walk for your lunch break. If you can't walk during lunch, walk for an hour before or after work. After awhile, you can change the walking to jogging. Take it slow to start.
3. Make the food you eat from ingredients/cut out processed stuff.
After a while, maybe start lifting weights. Squat, deadlift, pull ups, push ups, rows. Lot of compound exercises with weights. Start with an olympic bar and add weight when it is manageable. Look up from 5x5 program. They are easy to follow for people new to lifting.
I've dropped from 300 pounds to 190 in the last year. 3 days of lifting and 3 days of lift cardio per week, alternating weights and cardio. Rest 1 day a week.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
SNELLVILLE -- Gwinnett County Public Schools Superintendent J. Alvin Wilbanks met with teachers, staff, parents and community members Monday evening at Anderson-Livsey Elementary School to gather input on the school's direction.
As the school ends its first year, the district is searching for a new principal to take the helm in the 2011-12 year. Principal Lawanna Owens-Twaites has resigned for personal reasons, spokeswoman Sloan Roach said.
At Monday's meeting, several people alluded to problems at the school, but the conversation focused on what the community wanted for the future.
"I want nothing more than a successful principal to work with what I believe is already a successful staff here at the school," Wilbanks told the gathering of about 30 people.
Dorethia Livsey, who is part of one of the families from Gwinnett's Promised Land community for which the school is named, said she was shocked to learn that evaluations showed the teachers were unhappy with the school's administration.
"I'm saddened, because from where I sat out there (in the school lobby, where she greets visitors), I thought things were going well," Livsey said.
Livsey said she's optimistic about the future, adding, "We must go forward."
Several staff members at the meeting indicated they were unhappy with the administration, with one exception. Many spoke in favor of assistant principal Tarsha Foye.
"She was always that light when things seemed really dark for us," said Hannika Cooper, a kindergarten paraprofessional at the school.
Cooper said that Foye has been terminated from her current position. Many at the meeting asked Wilbanks if Foye was returning to the school for the upcoming school year and expressed frustration when they did not receive a clear answer.
Parents and staff members praised Foye during the meeting. Cooper said many have flooded Wilbanks' email with messages in support of the administrator and signed a petition fighting to keep Foye as an administrator at the school.
Terri Lenair, a parent whose children were in kindergarten and fifth grade this year, also lauded Foye.
As for the future, Lenair said she wants to see a principal in the school who is open and creative and is a good listener and communicator.
"We need a person who is really aware of the community in which we live so you can effectively interact with parents and students," she said.
Wilbanks said the district hopes to name a principal soon, and a decision could come as early as Thursday, when the school board meets.

I know exactly what GCD is, and have worked with it. I just am under this strange belief that there's no magic in software and that computers still succumb to the laws of physics. Better power management comes primarily from hardware... and while GCD is a very good framework for controlling that hardware it's not a magical route to better battery life. Software can help with coordination but you still need the hardware.
While I won't argue the concept and implementation of this framework are good, most of the magical gains you'll hear about because of GCD are marketing numbers and not real-world.

Georgia Research Alliance
The Georgia Research Alliance is an Atlanta, Georgia-based nonprofit organization that coordinates research efforts between Georgia's public and private sectors. While GRA receives a state appropriation for investment in university-based research opportunities, its operations are funded through foundation and industry contributions. In its first 19 years, GRA leveraged $525 million in state funding into $2.6 billion of additional federal and private investment.
The Alliance has played a key role in building a reputation for Georgia as a center of discovery and invention, as evidenced by several major advances in science, medicine and technology. In 2007, GRA coalesced the strengths of several universities into a focused research effort built around new types of vaccines and therapeutics. As a result, Georgia is now leveraging these strengths and embarking on a major initiative to explore new ways to marshal the human immune system to fight disease.[1]

What's the long-term plan for Dodger Stadium?
Oct 12, 2012, 3:00 PM EDT
Steve Dilbek talked to Stan Kasten about the plan for renovating Dodger Stadium. In the short term — meaning this offseason — there are a lot of things that are going to get done: upgrades to the electrical system and water pipes. A sound system tweak. Addition of more gathering areas. That sort of thing.
But when asked about larger, more long-term plans, Kasten says that he and his partners haven't thought about it yet:
"I know what we need in this ballpark for now, that I can do now in this off-season. Now if I also knew I was going to be here for the next 50 years like Wrigley and Fenway, then we'd also be doing probably other 50-year things," he said. "I would be announcing a five-year building program. That may yet happen. I haven't had my time to think about the second step … I know those are fair questions, and there will be time for me and us to think about that. We just haven't had that time yet. My guess is we'll be here, long term, permanent."
And, as Dilbek notes, it is just a guess, as there are a lot of possibilities involving Chavez Ravine, AEG — which the Guggenheim Group which owns the Dodgers may buy — and AEG's plans to build an NFL stadium. Which could be downtown. Or could be at Chavez Ravine. As could a ballpark for that matter.
My instincts as a fan would be to go with a Fenway-style renovation, keeping the beauty, view, and the most apparent and wonderful elements of Dodger Stadium intact, while modernizing the place. Ultimately, though, it's gonna be about the money. Because it's always about the money.

Classic Stan-speak. The man drove me nuts with his interviews when he was with the Nationals. He says so much without really saying much of anything at all.
He could have condensed that into "We just took over the team a couple months ago. Up until two weeks ago we were focusing on the playoffs. Now we will focus on the stadium and come up with a plan of action."

Wow…I remember when the Oakland Coliseum used to look surprisingly like that.

If they're going to preserve the old place, I hope they're smart about it. They certainly have a great example of how to ruin a once beautiful stadium from their neighbors to the north.

Metal detectors for all the gang bangers smuggling weapons into the venue. How about an official stadium police force? An in-house courtroom and strip of jail cells. An extensive LE computer database for background checks on the many criminals in attendance to see which gangs in Mexico or South America they can be traced to.

You're totally right. Stay positive and hold it together there. One reason that you could say that you learn a lot from losing is that if I'm in that same situation a month from now or a year from now, I'll remember what I did wrong last time and won't make the same mistake twice.
I also have got to stop with the negativity. It's just getting ridiculous. The yelling at myself, the insulting myself, the sarcastic comments about myself--all out loud. Hitting balls into the fence; kicking the fence. All of it has to stop. I should try to model myself after Federer. One never knows what the heck that guy is thinking.

S-T slides by Hebbronville
ALICE -- Skidmore-Tynan erased an eight-point, first-half deficit to post its first playoff win in two years Saturday night.
The Bobcats outscored Hebbronville 25-7 through the second and third quarters to erase a 14-6 deficit en route to a 31-23 Class 2A bi-district football playoff victory over the Longhorns at Memorial Stadium.
The District 31-2A third place Bobcats (9-2 overall) -- who have won three straight games -- advance to play Stockdale (9-2) in the Class 2A area playoffs later this week. Stockdale clipped San Antonio Cole, 40-34 in its bi-district game.
The District 32-2A runner-up Longhorns (6-5) -- who had won six of their past eight games coming into Saturday's matchup after starting the season 0-2 -- fell in the first round of the playoffs for the second straight season.
Skidmore-Tynan senior quarterback Darby House had three touchdown passes to offset Hebbronville running back Joseph Maldonado's three rushing touchdowns in a game which also featured four lead changes.
Hebbronville -- which committed three first-half turnovers itself -- used Longhorns senior linebacker Jorge Gonzalez's fumble recovery to overcome a six point, second-quarter deficit.
Maldonado (who finished with 190 yards rushing on 22 carries) broke free for a 58-yard scoring run on the next play after the turnover to knot the game at 6. Senior kicker C.J. Garza added the extra point to give the Longhorns a 7-6 lead with 7:29 remaining in the second quarter.
Maldonado also scored on a 3-yard run on Hebbronville's next drive, as his 31-yard halfback pass helped set up the score. Garza's extra point pushed the Longhorns' lead to 14-6 with a little more than three minutes remaining in the second quarter.
Skidmore-Tynan responded on the ensuing possession, as Bobcats senior quarterback Darby House threw his second touchdown pass of the first half to bring his team within 14-12. S-T junior Cody Chambers' 44-yard kickoff return led to House's 8-yard scoring pass to sophomore fullback Alex Gonzales. The 2-point conversion run failed, however to keep it a two-point game going into the half.
House also threw a 40-yard scoring pass to Chambers in the first quarter, as the Bobcats took advantage of three-first half fumbles -- recovered by CB House, S-T senior linebacker Cory Markham and senior cornerback Logan Dade respectively -- by Hebbronville. S-T missed the extra point kick, however.
S-T running back Jordan Carter (who finished with 102 yards rushing) added a 46-yard run later in the frame to help the Bobcats reclaim the lead 24-21, although they missed the extra point kick again.
Carter also had a key 25-yard run on S-T's next possession, which led to senior running back Noel Solis' 1-yard scoring run. House kicked the extra point to push the Bobcats' lead to 31-21 with 5:17 remaining in the third quarter.

To ensure free and fair elections
The Election Commission on Wednesday ordered the Union Ministry of Personnel not to give effect to the December 22, 2011 office memorandum, providing a 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities within the 27 per cent reservation for the Other Backward Classes in Central government jobs and educational institutions, in the five poll-bound States.
The direction will be applicable until after the completion of the Assembly election process in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Goa and Manipur.
The EC took into account the fact that the decision on sub-quota was announced by the Centre on December 22, before the model code came into force, i.e. on December 24, when the poll schedule was announced.
The EC said it was brought to its notice that the order had been issued in violation of the model code, and that it took the decision to ensure a free and fair poll.
Model code
Sources in the EC drew attention to the Sections in the model code relating to parties, candidates and the State/Central governments. Para 1(3): There shall be no appeal to caste or communal feelings for securing votes.
Para VII: The party in power, whether at the Centre or in the State or States concerned, shall ensure that no cause is given for any complaint that it has used its official position for purposes of its campaign.
Para VII (vi): From the time elections are announced, Ministries and other authorities shall not announce any financial grants in any form or promises thereof ......, which may have the effect of influencing voters in favour of the party in power.
Many parties, particularly the BJP, had strongly opposed the Cabinet decision and said the announcement was made as an inducement to Muslims, who are in sizable numbers in Uttar Pradesh. The decision would benefit Muslims more than other minorities as there were many Muslim communities designated as OBCs, the parties said.

Many marketers of OTC drugs and devices, cosmetics, foods and dietary supplements make claims with regard to the content of their products and/or the packaging for their products. and their fate in or effect on the environment.

City and county officials are looking to bring a new weather and emergency notification system to residents in the community. The Code Red system is a mass information system designed to enable local government officials to record, send and track personalized messages to residents within minutes.
Clay County Emergency Management Director Kerrie Gentry-Blissard said officials in the county wanted to institute a new notification system, and looked at three different vendors: Code Red, CivicReady and Everbridge Unified Critial Communication Suite.
"Everbridge is not in Mississippi and CivicReady has very few systems in Mississippi," Blissard said. "Code Red is well-represented in the state and partners with the National Weather Service in Jackson, plus other regions in Mississippi have utilized its services."
She said Code Red has a contract with the NWS to intercept its notifications, and sends the information to residents who are in the path of the storm via phone or email, depending on which service the individual opted in to.
"In addition to weather notifications, Code Red also sends out warnings for Hazmat situations," Blissard said. "They can plot the affected area and notify anyone in that area whether or not they need to evacuate, stay indoors or just to let them know there's been an incident."
Blissard said Clay County EMA took the prospect of using Code Red to the Golden Triangle Planning and Development District as a way of sharing the cost of the program.

When I'm home in CT visiting my parents, my favorite pastime is poking around the two basement refrigerators, the home of all sorts of treats my mother has been preparing — soups, spanakopita, Grand Marnier chocolate truffles — and stocking up on — smoked mussels, white anchovies, enough cheeses to feed the neighborhood — for weeks. It's a little gourmet paradise inside those boxes, and it's impossible not to sneak a peak (and a truffle) with every trip down to the basement.
The only hard part about being home for the holidays is refraining from eating all day long. From the first bite of homemade cinnamon oatmeal bread in the morning to the last bite of flourless chocolate-almond torte in the evening, my stomach barely gets a rest. There is goodness at every turn, and none so much (if you ask me) as at lunch, which hasn't changed (during the holidays at least) in about a decade: a bowl of soup, a square of spanakopita and a slice or two of homemade bread. On this most recent visit, we feasted on Vermont cheddar cheese soup — my favorite — and rosemary butternut squash bisque with slices of toasted buttered rye bread on the side. It was heaven.
Five days of this soup-and-bread routine made me miss it dearly upon returning home to my all-but-bare refrigerator. But when a large head of cabbage and a few carrots sitting in my vegetable drawer caught my eye, my spirits lifted. With the exception of fresh dill, I had everything on hand to make another favorite soup of my mother's, one she has been making since the early 80's: Paul Steindler's cabbage soup with caraway seeds, a recipe Craig Claiborne wrote about many years ago in The New York Times Magazine and eventually published in The Essential New York Times Cookbook. Loaded with vegetables — carrots, potatoes, onions and cabbage — a little bacon and a touch of cream, this is definitely a hearty soup, best served on a cold winter day with crusty bread and nothing more. For me, it's the dill and caraway seeds that make it unlike any other I have tasted, the caraway seeds in particular imparting a lovely yet subtle flavor. [Read more…]

The way the scene ended, the implication was that Sisko and Mirror Jadzia did the deed.
Can't say I blame him.
She is beautiful.
If it did end that way, then I'm sure he had to in order to keep his cover.
Keeping his cover. Is that why he was "doing the deed" with mirror Kira 10 minutes later in the episode?
Can't say I blame him either, but dang.. 2 girls in 45 minutes. Some argue three with mirror Jennifer too, but that's a stretch. Either way, James Bond has NOTHING on the Sisko.
I don't think he ever had sex with Kira, but I'll watch the episode again when I have the time. I don't think he did anything with Jennifer either--She didn't even like him at first, and they didn't have the time, arguably.
. Hot damn, I can dig it.
The history of men's opposition to women's emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.
