By now you've hopefully read my previous piece on the problems with plastic bags and are ready to kick the habit. Thankfully your first step is going to be an easy one: Just say no. Now I know that seems a little bit simplistic, but you've got to start somewhere and the best place is to announce to yourself and to the world that you are never going to take another plastic bag again. Go ahead, I'll wait. Stand up from your computer (or lie down if that makes you feel better) and say "I'm never going to take another plastic bag again." Even better, pull a Network–open up your window and shout it out to the world (wouldn't that be cool if that happened?).
Now that you've done that, the next step is to keep on reminding yourself that No Means No. What I mean to say is that as you start to retrain yourself, and that is what you will be doing, for the first week or so you will invariably walk out of the house without a re-usable bag. If you remind yourself that No Means No, then when you get to that checkout stand and realize you don't have any bags, you're either going to be putting things back, making a few trips to your bike or car, or, if you're like me, looking pretty silly juggling all those boxes and bottles out of the store.
I'm not suggesting that this is going to become your normal routine from now on ("Mommy look, it's the funny man who's always dropping the eggs"), I'm just saying that if you agree that plastic bags are no longer an option, you'll learn pretty quickly that a little pre-planning will go a long way. Before long, you won't even realize you're doing it.
Two weeks from now we'll give this a trial run, but right now, your next step is to do some prep. For starters, you are going to need some reusable bags and your first stop will be around the house. If you are like me, over the years you have accumulated bags from vendors, fund-raisers, and all sorts of other places, and these work perfectly. Another option is to take an old T-shirt and sew it up into a bag like my friend Anna does. After all, why buy something new when you can reuse/repurpose something you already have?

Hacks by Anonymous discovers Ron Paul's ties to Neo-Nazis
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
Well this just got interesting.
The hacktivist collective Anonymous set out to take down the white supremacist American Third Party (A3P) in what they called Operation Blitzkrieg but they may have done much more.
In a document dump that includes private forum messages, emails, organization notes another other information the group found numerous connections between Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul and A3P. According to the documents, all hosted here, Paul himself regularly met with many A3P members, engaged in conference calls with their board of directors and engaged in a bridging tactic between A3P and the Ron Paul Revolution.
Other excerpts show A3P webmaster Jamie Kelso (whose email account was one hacked by the collective) coordinating meeting between Paul and other members of A3P such as corporate lawyer and chairman of the neo-Nazi group Paul. Im going to go to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) with Bill Johnson, reads an email to an A3P member dated January 2011. Bill and I will be meeting with Ron and Ran Paul. I have a teleconference call with Bill (and Ron Paul) tonight. Much more later. Things are starting to happen (thanks to folks like you).
In another passage, Kelso, a former Scientologist and account owner of other German Nazi forums, wrote: Ill be at CPAC from Feb. 9 to Feb. 12. Ill send back reports to you from personal meetings with Ron Paul, newly-elected Senator Rand Paul and many others. Itll be here on WhiteNewsNow, a place that is really starting to get interesting because of the presence of folks like you. Birds of a feather flock together, and we are really gathering some quality here.
Accusations of racism and ties to neo-Nazi interests have plagued Paul since the 1990s and have re-surfaced during this campaign. So far Paul has issued standard denials, claiming not to have been aware of the ties between his camp and the racist right and denied authorship of a series of racist newsletters, despite confirmation from his closest staff that Paul signed off on every detail.
So whats Pauls explanation now?

For more than 40 years, Mayo Clinic's Pain Rehabilitation Center (PRC) has helped people with chronic pain return to an active lifestyle. Mayo's pain rehabilitation program was one of the first in the world.
The Pain Rehabilitation Center offers four outpatient rehabilitation programs:
A team of health care professionals, including doctors trained in pain management, physical medicine and rehabilitation (physiatrists) and mental health conditions (psychologists); clinical nurse specialists; nurses; physical and occupational therapists; biofeedback therapists; pharmacists; nutrition specialists (dietitians); vocation rehabilitation psychologists; chaplains; and therapists trained in helping people to stop using tobacco (nicotine-cessation therapists), care for people in the Pain Rehabilitation Center.
The team in the PRC uses a behavioral therapy approach to help restore physical activities and improve the quality of life for people with chronic pain conditions. The program emphasizes discontinuation of pain medications.
Mayo's pain rehabilitation program focuses on a comprehensive physical therapy program for people to improve overall physical strength and endurance to regain function.
People come to Mayo with many different types of chronic pain and conditions, including:
In addition to chronic pain, some people have depression or anxiety disorders. Doctors trained in mental health conditions (psychologists) assess people, provide cognitive behavioral treatment and help identify a trained therapist close to the person's home for care after program completion.
People ages 12 to 86 come to the PRC from across the United States and the world. Before coming to the PRC, people may have tried other pain interventions, medications, surgeries and physical therapy, with little improvement in their function or pain level.
Watch Mayo Clinic psychologist Barbara K. Bruce, Ph.D., L.P., discuss the Pain Rehabilitation Center.

PRLog - Sep. 6, 2011 - PRINCETOWN, U.K. -- Terry Waite CBE to Join the Storybook Dads Chain Gang on 28th September 2011
The Chain Gang will set off from Dousland at 2.30pm on Wednesday 28th of September and hike 5 miles across the moors, arriving at HMP Dartmoor prison gates about 4.30. The 'inmates' will consist of prison officers, Storybook Dads staff and volunteers chained together and dressed as prisoners.
Terry Waite spent five years as a hostage in Beirut and he is the patron and a long-time supporter of Storybook Dads charity. His time in captivity gives him a unique perspective into the trauma caused by separation encountered by prisoners and their families – and the enormous impact that Storybook Dads has on their lives and prospects. Mr Waite says;
"It is remarkable that such a simple idea can have such a profound effect on the lives of these children."
Storybook Dads enables imprisoned parents to read bedtime stories to their children so that, even though may be many miles apart, the children can still hear their parents voice whenever they need to. As well as bringing comfort to the children, it also helps with their literacy skills and helps to maintain family ties. Prisoners that can keep in contact with their families are up to 6 times less likely to reoffend upon release. The charity operates in over 100 UK prisons and provides a lifeline to hundreds of families every year.
Sharon Berry, the founder and Chief Executive of the charity recently received an OBE for her services to children and families. She says –
"We are just delighted that Terry has found the time to come along and be a part of the event. We had originally asked him to be part of the reception team to meet the walkers as they finished up at the prison gate. But he was determined to join the chain gang for the last leg of the walk from the outskirts of Princetown to the prison. He has always been really supportive but this is even better than we could have hoped for. I'd also like to thank all our chain gang walkers and other supporters for their hard work."
Storybook Dads relies entirely upon donations so if you would like more information or to make a much needed donation, please visit www.storybookdads.org.uk or find them on Facebook or Twitter

The National Fishermen's Federation (NFF) has expressed displeasure over the Coastal Regulation Zone Notification (CRZ), 2011, in its present form, and accused Union Minister for Environment and Forests (MoEF) Jairam Ramesh of having taken the organisation for a ride by not incorporating some of the provisions that had been agreed upon in the talks between the Ministry and NFF representatives.
Matanhy Saldanha, chairman of the NFF, on Monday addressed a letter to the Minister, expressing shock over some of the provisions of the CRZ 2011, when it was finally released on January 7.
He said the NFF might be compelled to rethink its decision to hold back an agitation if the Minister failed to respond to its queries and explain the lapses.
"After our meeting with you on December 29, and the subsequent discussions with Dr. Senthilvel to finalise all the agreed points, the NFF team went back with a sense of great achievement and the belief that [it could] work with the MoEF on the proper implementation of the CRZ as well as many other issues of mutual concern. However, the notification, when it came, has made us look foolish and given us a feeling that we have been taken for a ride," said Mr. Saldanha in the letter, a copy of which was made available to The Hindu.
The NFF leader said he was not talking about the provisions over which NFF had serious disagreements right from the beginning, related to nuclear power, FSI (floor space index) concessions for slum rehabilitation and renovation of old buildings.
"As suggested by you, we had agreed to disagree on [these provisions] and focus on provisions the Ministry itself was willing to negotiate. So, we are only talking about provisions that were agreed upon but not incorporated in the final notification," Mr. Saldanha stated.
He alleged that the concession to fishing communities for expanding their housing into the 100-200 metre-zone of CRZ-III was diluted and distorted by having been reworded as 'applicable to traditional coastal communities including fishing communities'. The implications of this were serious for the coast and fishing communities.
"The provision of not less than three representatives of fishing community organisations in the NCZMA (National Coastal Zone Management Authority of India) and SCZMAs, personally agreed to by you, has not been incorporated," Mr. Saldanha pointed out. The agreement to rename CVCA (Critically Vulnerable Coastal Areas) as CMCR (Community Managed Coastal Reserve) and incorporate NFF suggestions on the CMCR was dropped. This was more than an issue of nomenclature.
"'Roads on stilts' is something that the MoEF had agreed to drop in the note presented to the NFF in their very first meeting in December It now finds a place in the notification, contrary to our agreement," he said.

Andy Starczewski has been playing hockey for 20 years, and he's only 22 years old. He now plays for the Army Black Knights. At West Point, he's combining his two loves: hockey and service.
Andy Starczewski has been playing hockey for 20 years, and he's only 22 years old. He's gone from the Whitestown Youth Association, to Whitesboro High School, to prep school hockey, to junior hockey, and now he plays for the Army Black Knights. At West Point, he's combining his two loves: hockey and service.Question: In your online profile for Army, it quotes you as saying, "I had aspirations as a child to serve my country and play Division I hockey." You're doing both. How's it going so far?Answer: Honestly, it is interesting, to say the least. I stay very busy. On top of a rigorous 20-credit hour academic schedule and military discipline, I have to balance being a Division I hockey player. I am comfortable at distinguishing the difference from when I am a cadet and when I am an Army hockey player, yet in many cases the two coincide, and that's the interesting part. It is a great honor to do both, and I enjoy the challenges that are presented.Q: How did your love of hockey begin?A: My father. Everything was hockey for me as long as I can remember. My dad played, not really at a competitive level but more of a social level at the Whitestown rink on Sunday nights, and it was the highlight of my life. Somewhere in that time I realized that hockey was all that I wanted to do.Q: What was it as a child that piqued your interest in serving your country?A: I was always in awe with the "American soldier," and aspired to be one. On Sept. 11, 2001, I was in eighth grade, sitting in Mrs. Donnelly's second-period American History class when Mr. Kuhn came in and said, "Turn on the TV ... any station." When I saw the first tower on fire and a second plane coming in, it was like a switch. If I was 18 years old that day, my life would have been much different.Q: I imagine going to college at the U.S. Military Academy might be a bit different than going to a typical university.A: Structure and discipline are the two features that set West Point apart from other institutions. Every day is regimented to maximize your time. Discipline in your time management is crucial for success here. Honestly, one's perception of West Point and one's perception of college are completely separate entities.Q: What's a typical day like for you at West Point?A: I wake up every day at 6 o'clock for breakfast formation. After breakfast I will have class until noon and then I report to lunch formation. After lunch, I will usually have a lab or briefing to attend until about 2 p.m. From there I will have another class hour, and then the fun begins. I head up to the rink, and practice usually starts at 3:30. After practice we will work out from 5 to 6:30. After lift, I will shower up, grab some dinner (at the rink) and head back down to my room. From 7:30 to 11:30 I will prepare for the next day of classes and/or study. Then it's lights out.Page 2 of 2 - Q: How did your time at Whitesboro High and playing prep hockey prepare you for this experience?A: I used each level as a stepping stone to get ready for the next level of play. Coach Mike Jeffery (Whitesboro coach) instilled work ethic and a passion to win that has stuck ever since. Coach Mark Morris (Northwood coach) taught me the finer parts of the game that would achieve success at the upper levels of the hockey world. At every level I was able to adapt and progress. I was lucky enough to have coaches that were second to none at that particular level and every level has challenged me to become better than the last.Q: You've been away from home a lot since your junior year at Whitesboro. In an article in January 2009, you said it was worth the sacrifice. Now, two years later, does it get any easier being away from your family?A: Now, I am actually closer than I have ever been, and my parents make the three-hour trip for every game. It makes everything a lot easier when I can see the only faces that have been constant in my life on a weekly basis. Is it easier? No, but it is still undoubtedly worth the sacrifice.Q: Who has been the most inspirational figure in your life?A: I have been beyond blessed with inspirational figures in my life and it is hard to pick just one. My father has been my best friend my entire life and his influence has taught me selflessness that I will spend my lifetime trying to achieve. My mother is solid as a rock, and her influence will always keep my moral character in check. My grandfather, "Bubbo," embodies everything a man can be and gives me a character to strive for.Q: After you graduate West Point, you'll have to fulfill your military commitment. Do you plan to make the Army your career, and where does hockey fit in?A: Only time will tell. I wish I had an answer for this one and I wish I could say that I could choose both, but the answer is still ahead of me.Q: Complete this sentence: "If there is one thing that I didn't know before I came to West Point that I do know now, it's ...A: Wear a helmet. It's a rough ride.Contact Fran Perritano at email@example.com

For most of us, there's a clear line between a novel and an author. The most we ever experience of the person behind the book is the bio on the back cover and maybe a carefully posed headshot. Not so for John Freeman. He makes his living interviewing writers the world over, from Nobel laureates to New York Times Best Sellers. For his new book, How to Read a Novelist, he pulls together several dozen of his most interesting and illuminating interviews, ranging from Salman Rushdie to Margaret Atwood to David Foster Wallace. The book reveals that there is no one definition of the writer's life. Each author seems to have a focus and a process as unique as the works they create.
Savannah Magazine: I'm a little intimidated talking to someone who interviews authors for a living. I wonder if I should have you interview yourself for this.John Freeman: If that happens you'd have to charge me, and I'd just keep talking until we run out of time.
Savannah Magazine: Have you been to Savannah before?John Freeman: I've never been to Savannah. I've been to other parts of the state. You know, I think I drove through Savannah once, but I'm looking forward to going. I think I stopped in a Denny's, which is probably not the best way to experience it an hour.
Savannah Magazine: I hope that's not the best we have to offer. Your new book is a collection of interviews you've had with an astounding list of authors. How long have you been doing this type of interview?John Freeman: I guess I would say about 15 years. Out of college, I worked in publishing for two years, and then I quit my job and moved to New England and started cobbling together a life as a freelance book reviewer. After maybe a year or two of doing it, I just hit on the idea of interviewing an author I knew well enough that talking to her wasn't terribly terrifying. Her name was Allegra Goodman. She had four books out and had about four kids. A real prodigy of sorts. She had published her first book when she was a student at Harvard. I went and sat and talked with her about this new book she had coming out, which was full of scientific information and Jane Austen-like representations of the inner life of her characters. And it was so beautiful, and I thought there was a strange dissonance between sitting down with this person who was very straightforward and funny and kind of light and the intense seriousness and intellectual rigor of her book. I got such a hit of excitement talking to her. Not because I was meeting a celebrity or something, but because I felt for the first time that miraculous gap between who an author is and what they create, and how in the course of a conversation that gap can be slightly shrunk to some degree, and at the same time made more mysterious. From that moment on, if someone asked, I would do it again, but no one asked so I started asking if I could talk to authors. Within a year or two, I was starting to talk to the authors I really admired like John Updike, who I interviewed for the first time in about 2000. At that point I had moved back to New York, and writers come through New York often because a lot of their publishers are there and it's sometimes the start of their book tour. I was also writing for overseas newspapers, so suddenly, I went from occasionally interviewing an author to what felt like interviewing one a week. For about ten years there, I was meeting all kinds of people who I never expected to meet. And I was constantly traveling in a kind of comet trail of surreal appreciation for what a great job I had kind of meandered into.
Savannah Magazine: You talk about the task of telling stories and what compels authors to tell those stories. You felt something the first time you talked to an author. What made it compelling for you? Is it sort of your telling the story of the author's story?John Freeman: I always felt, as a reviewer, one of the hardest tasks is describing what it felt like to be inside a book. I think a reviewer doesn't describe a book, they describe their experience with it. That has a second layer when it comes to describing a person, because you have to describe them, what it feels like to meet them, and then you also have to, if you're a good journalist, compress and make the story dramatic. The story a writer tells when they explain how it is and what it is they do. For me, that seems really important, especially when it's an author whose life or work or both are kind of a form of bearing witness to the world and to history, to the way that literature, fiction in particular, can take large moments of history, whether it's America's past with slavery in Toni Morrison's book or Japan's kind of post-World War II world in the work of Haruki Murakami, and bring it down to a human level and make it specific, make it into a human narrative instead of a cultural or community narrative, which is what I think history is. As a journalist, to take that doubling moment and make it intense and coherent and as compelling as it is when the author describes it to you is a challenge, but it's a lot of fun, and it feels important.
Savannah Magazine: This is more of a personal question. Haruki Murakami is one of my big influences. How was it to interview him?John Freeman: He seemed really great. I was interviewing him when he had a book called What We Talk About When We Talk About Running, and it was about him leaving his jazz club, giving up smoking, and starting to become a runner at the same time. I was also a runner. I met him at a hotel, and he seemed monkish in the sense that every day he does the same thing. He gets up, goes for a run, writes for a couple hours, takes a break, has lunch, translates , spends his afternoons going over what he wrote and reading a bit. That's his day, every day, wherever he is. To find that all those books and their crazy flights of fancy and their spooky imagination—why making spaghetti seems so ominous—has come out of something so simple as a daily routine. It was kind of inspiring because as a guy from the suburbs, occasionally as a writer I was worried: what do I have to write about? It turns out you can write about anything if you go into the dark corners of your imagination, which is Murakami's way of approaching it. He talks about it like he's some kind of miner. He's just going into a dark space and excavating until something glints in the dark and then he keeps hammering away until he finds a vein, something precious and special. One of the reason I put the book together is that there are just so many different ways to be a writer, so many different approaches, so many different interactions between the writer's life and their work. Some write away from their life, but it's coded in their work, maybe unconsciously. And then some people like Updike write so autobiographically that if you read a biography of him, then you can see very clearly why he was writing certain books at the time he wrote them.
Savannah Magazine: That leads me to another question I had. How does interviewing an author change your experience of reading their work?John Freeman: I worried about this because I love reading more than meeting writers, but in all the best cases, all the interviews collected in this book, it really improved it. And also, when I sat down to read a new book by Murakami or Günter Grass, I wouldn't think about having met them. It was almost like it took place in a separate universe. My feeling is that reading is kind of like a controlled dream state. The author is the person who you interact with in waking life, but they don't come with you into the dream. They're the ones kind of creating the dream, but they're not there. They're not a voice-over, they're not a presence in the dream. Even like with Jonathan Safran Foer and Philip Roth, they write themselves as characters into the dream, but having met them, they don't come into that space. I was glad for that. I think there is something to be said for not treating writers like celebrities. They're not meant to be frontmen or frontwomen of their own work. They're there to write, and they have this job of sitting alone in a room or wherever it is they do their work, in solitary confinement of sorts, doing it. So to be out there and explaining it is an extra benefit, but it's not what they're there for. I worried sometimes that this culture of celebrity would carry over to the reading life but for me it never did, and this is after having interviewed hundreds of novelists.

Andrea Goto recaps her Food and Wine experience.
From the EditorIf marriage is the consummation of love, we townies are the ultimate tourists. After all, what is a love affair that lasts a week compared to one that endures for a lifetime? To riff on the old chastity saw, our 12 million annual visitors may drink the milk—but we Savannahians bought the sacred cow. Sure, we're attracted by the Hostess City's public image—lush gardens, living history and colorful characters—but we treasure her candid expressions more. We love her unexpected awkwardness (37th Street, anyone?) and her sleepy morning face (a bewilderment of birds and walking hangovers). Because we're in a relationship, we're not content to admire Savannah. We want to know her. That's why we don't just tour; we explore. Our storied city has not one but more than 139,180 faces (U.S. Census 2011), and we at Savannah magazine enjoy the privilege of meeting many of them. In this issue, we took apart the icons that put our city on the map and sought out the individuals who give life here meaning. Behind the ubiquitous smiling face of Paula Deen, for example, we found chicken "golden-alizer" Michael McCollough and kitchen muse "Jelly Roll" Jones. In the shadow of Supreme Court Justice and Savannah son Clarence Thomas, we found his cousin, the "Mayor of Pin Point," and his whole historic community of delightful, disarming neighbors. Beneath the glitzy, bawdy stage face of The Lady Chablis, we discovered a sensitive and nurturing friend. We hunted ghosts but found an even eerier entourage. We peeled away the sweet layers of the Vidalia onion and met the locals who live for its brief spring harvest. We had cocktails with a comedic concierge and took a Slow Ride with a seriously silly pirate. We discovered and debriefed 21 rising stars who hold the city's future in their talented hands. We dug up Savannah founder Gen. James Oglethorpe's experimental garden, alive and well miles away at the Historic Bamboo Farm. In short, we're discovering Savannah, again and again. Whether you drink the milk or buy the cow, we invite you to explore with us. Warmly, Annabelle Carr, Editor

Lyn Gregory and Susanna Sonnenberg, author of She Matters, discuss the importance of female friendships.Susanna Sonnenberg has written two memoirs--the first about the fraught relationship with her mother. Her latest book tackles the nuances and complexities of women's friendship with an honest, raw look at the ones she's enjoyed, survived and endured since childhood. The stories of these friendships paint portraits full of passion, inspiration, love and betrayal and are a testament to the importance of female friendships in shaping the lives of women. Susanna was born in London but grew up in New York and now lives in Montana with her husband and two sons. Savannah Magazine: This is your second memoir. What about this genre inspires your writing? Susanna Sonnenberg: In my first book, Her Last Death, about my pathological mother, I needed rigorous honesty as a counterpoint to all the lying I was raised with. The form demands honesty and authenticity. It's what makes for good writing for me. SM: You focused on your relationships with women, not men, in this book. What made you decide to restrict yourself to female relationships? Susanna: When we tell the story of our lives, we discuss jobs, college boyfriends and other elements as the events in our lives, but our female friendships aren't billed as prominent markers in telling our stories. I was interested in what was not getting said, the underlying bones of our lives, those dramatic relationships that don't get talked about. SM: Some of the friendships you recount in your memoir are short lived and others extend over long periods of time. Are these "bursts" of friendship as important in shaping our lives as the long term ones? Susanna: I do. I write memoir listening to the nagging, little voices, memories that never leave you. If you are still thinking about that person years later, something happened. There's a reason they come back to you. I was trying to look as the ways every experience makes us who we are; in the development of self, I wanted to use friendship as the lens. SM: Some of the most painful and honest sections of your book, recount fractured friendships such as Nina and Claire. These must have been hard to write about so openly. Susanna: It did help me understand these relationships at a deeper level and the process brought me a lot of compassion for the women involved and also for myself. There is a myth that all women's friendships are happy and supportive but they are always more complex and challenging than that simple description. SM: Did you lose any friendships over the publication of your book? Susanna: Either I cleared it with a friend before I included specific information or I changed some details to obscure the identity of the relationship. SM: As a result of analyzing your friendships, can you share with us what are the most important characteristics of enduring relationships? Susanna: Forgiveness and the ability to repair damage done. We all mess up; we all disappoint. Most often it happens in ways that have nothing to do with the friendship but one's own history. We have to be brave enough, strong enough to find ways through. And sometimes, in spite of great love, it just isn't possible to make it work. SM: Have you ever been to the South before? What do you imagine Savannah to be like? Susann: I've spent time in Virginia and New Orleans but not Georgia, even though one of the important friendships in the book is with a woman from Georgia. I picture it as very proper and beautiful. It does take three planes to get there though!
John Krasinski's Peter is charming and witty, but his one-liners can't save him from the devastatingly difficult realities of marriage, commitment and family life. Allison Brooks offers advice.Peter (John Krasinski) heads a seemingly nuclear Silver Lake family in this predictable boy-meets-girl, boy-likes-girl, things-don't-work-out film—although there is a bit of a twist from the age-old story. When Martine (Olivia Thirlby), a 23-year-old film student working on her thesis, moves to California to finish the sound direction for her project, Peter agrees to help her as a favor to his wife, Julie (Rosemarie DeWitt). Slowly—and I mean slowly—director Russo-Young reveals that nobody's perfect in this film: Peter can't fight his attraction to Martine, Julie invites her ex-husband (Dylan McDermott) over for family dinner, and Martine can't seem to ever say no to sex. The most refreshing part of the film comes unexpectedly: a side story focusing on Kolt (India Ennenga), Julie's daughter from her first marriage. Kolt so effortlessly portrays how it feels to be a teenage girl in love with a man she can't have. Poetically delusional, she tells her friends she and David (Rhys Wakefield), Peter's assistant, have a complicated relationship due to their age difference. When she sees David making out with Martine in his car, we feel her heart break. While Russo-Young fails to grip her audience with a strong plot and general character formation, she does capture the complications of sexuality quite well. Apart from Peter and Martine, she explores Julie's relationship with one of her patients (Justin Kirk) who describes his fantasies about her in detail, and Kolt's much older Italian tutor (Emanuele Secci) suggests uncomfortable sexual undertones throughout the story. With no solid conclusion, the film doesn't earn the audience's devotion. Nobody Walks has less staying power than the characters intwined in the film's relationships. As I left Trustees Theater, I heard a group of 20-somethings discussing the film: "I understood the point but none of the characters were likable enough for me to care about them."

Prison inmate pleads not guilty to shooting 2 teens
As they were walking along San Jacinto Drive near Groveland Drive, they were confronted by two gunmen. One opened fire, hitting both teens.
Cruz is the third person to be charged in connection with the shooting. Authorities said Derelle Oliver, 20, and James Tyler, 21, were waving guns at the party. Another man, believed to have been with Cruz at the time of the shooting, remains at large.
Tyler is awaiting trial. Oliver pleaded guilty to assault by means likely to cause great bodily injury and was sentenced to nine years in prison.
Oliver, who prosecutors said was a documented gang member, was originally accused of murder, but two judges dismissed those charges, ruling that little evidence existed that linked him directly to the fatal shootings.
His attorney said previously that Oliver had a pellet gun that night.
Family members said after Monday's arraignment that they wondered what would happen with Oliver's case now that the suspected shooter had been charged.
"He was accused of something he didn't do," said Robin Roy, Oliver's aunt. "I want to know what they're going to do about that."
Still said he didn't believe Cruz's arrest would have any effect on Oliver's conviction. The prosecutor said he considers Oliver's conduct outside the party to be "a separate incident."

FDA Approves the SynCardia Total Artificial Heart With SynHall Valves
SynCardia Systems, Inc., now controls last key component in heart manufacturing.
TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — SynCardia Systems, Inc. received approval July 2, 2014 from the United States Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for the SynCardia temporary Total Artificial Heart with SynHall(TM) valves, giving the company control over the last key component to manufacture the Total Artificial Heart.
FDA approval follows SynCardia's receipt of the CE Mark for European use of the SynHall valves only in the SynCardia Total Artificial Heart on April 17, 2014. Health Canada approval was received for the same purpose on July 28, 2014.
The SynHall valves only for use in the SynCardia Heart are of the same design, materials and nearly identical manufacturing processes as the tilting-disk valves that have always been used in the Total Artificial Heart.
Made of titanium and pyrolytic carbon, these robust valves have never failed in more than 1,300 implants of the SynCardia Total Artificial Heart, accounting for well over 5,000 valves and over 30 years of use.
"We're delighted that the SynHall valves passed the FDA's rigorous approval process," says Michael P. Garippa, SynCardia CEO and President.
The company also controls manufacture of segmented polyurethane solution (SPUS), which is used in the SynCardia Total Artificial Heart's housings, diaphragms and connectors. SynCardia is the only source of SPUS in the world.

About the SynCardia temporary Total Artificial Heart
SynCardia Systems, Inc. in Tucson, Arizona is the privately-held owner and manufacturer of the world's first and only FDA, Health Canada and CE approved Total Artificial Heart.
Originally used as a permanent replacement heart, the SynCardia Total Artificial Heart is currently approved as a bridge to transplant for people suffering from end-stage biventricular heart failure in which both ventricles can no longer pump enough blood for a person to survive.
More than 1,300 implants of the SynCardia Total Artificial Heart accounts for over 400 patient years of life on the device. Since January 2011 more than 400 SynCardia Hearts have been implanted.
SynCardia Systems also manufactures the Freedom® portable driver, which powers the SynCardia Heart while allowing clinically stable patients to leave the hospital to live at home and in their communities. The wearable Freedom driver has been used by 175 patients, accounting for over 100 years of support.

Why Northern Michigan University?
Why NMU should be your choice for appraisal continuing education
What is a webinar?
Webinars are a convenient, enjoyable, and easy way to meet your continuing education requirements and stay current on important and timely appraisal-related issues.
There's a video on the Webinar tab, called "Webinars Made Easy" that explains what a webinar is in more detail. Briefly, webinars create a virtual classroom that allows our instructors to conduct "live," real-time seminars, delivered to you over the web. You can "text chat" questions and comments to the instructors for prompt responses and be part of a "live" event, rather than just sitting at your computer, reading the lesson and taking quizzes.
What is Northern Michigan University?
Northern Michigan University (NMU) is a public university located in Marquette, Michigan. NMU first opened its doors in 1899 with 32 students and 6 faculty members. It has since become a dynamic, four-year, public, comprehensive university that offers a total of 180 degree programs to nearly 10,000 undergraduate and graduate students.
Does NMU offer online distance education today?
Yes. NMU is one of the largest computer campuses in the United States and has received national and international awards for its innovative work in the area of technology for higher education. But what's really of interest for appraisers is the University's education program for appraisers.
How long has NMU offered appraisal-related education?
NMU has been active in providing off-campus education to real estate appraisers for nearly 20 years in traditional classroom settings mostly in Michigan, as well as Wisconsin, Florida and Nevada. This is how the University's association with our instructors, Richard Heyn, SRA and Dawn Molitor-Gennrich, SRA, began.
Dawn and Rich have co-authored a number of the classroom continuing education seminars offered by NMU. Rich has been an appraisal seminar instructor for NMU for about 15 years.
How does this educational partnership work?
Northern Michigan University has extensive experience in delivering distance education in a number of other disciplines. Consequently, when our instructors, Richard Heyn, SRA and Dawn Molitor-Gennrich, SRA created a business venture that uses web conferencing technology or "webinars" to deliver education to appraisers, NMU was a natural fit. The University is the sponsoring entity; Dawn and Rich are the developers and instructors. It's a great match because, just like the University, Dawn and Rich view education as a cause, not just a business.
Is anyone else offering appraisal-related continuing education webinars?
Northern Michigan University is the first entity in the United States to use web conferencing technology to deliver appraiser continuing education (CE) that qualifies for State CE credit. We began in our home state of Michigan but are now expanding the program. The "Webinar Schedule" tab on this website identifies which states have approved specific webinars and the University is in the process of obtaining approvals in additional states. NMU objectives for course development include compliance with the Appraiser Qualification Board's Real Property Appraiser Qualification Criteria for distance education.
What is NMU's goal for appraisal-related webinar continuing education?
At NMU, meaningful and practical education comes first. Our webinars meet the University's objectives by creating a "live," interactive educational environment that's also enjoyable. We incorporate useful and practical knowledge you can directly apply to your appraisal practice. You acquire this useful information by actively participating in a dynamic environment that allows you to directly interact with the instructors and learn from the questions, comments and experiences of other appraisers. Just like in the classroom.

A.J. Foyt agrees to drive Indy 500 pace car
When Foyt finishes the honorary pace laps, he will likely get out of the car, walk back to his spot on pit row and put on his headset so he can talk to his two drivers - Vitor Meira and Bruno Junqueira, both Brazilians.
By picking Foyt, race organizers are also bringing back the tradition of using former winners in the pace car.
While Foyt joked Friday that he still expected to be racing 50 years after his first Indy win, there was no question one of the most recognizable people in motorsports took the job seriously.
"I'll be leading the race again is all I can say," he said. "It'll probably be pretty nerve-racking. I'm just very honored I can do something back for the speedway because the speedway is what made A.J. Foyt and my whole racing career."
