Why Try to Re-Brand Israel?
It may be a waste of resources, 'Commentary' says
Jonathan Tobin at Commentary Magazine brings to light one of the biggest questions in Israel's history and politics: How to manage the image of a country whose raison d'etre is, in part, to convince the world of its necessity and validity, a goal that becomes increasingly elusive as factions from the Arab right to the American left stake their identities on criticism of the nation.
Tobin starts in on Maxim Magazine's spread of cheesecake photos of female Israeli soldiers last year, which was pitched as an effort "to promote Israel as a normal country." Never mind the disturbing implications of the equation of normality with the objectification of women, Tobin is more disturbed by what he sees as "a decision to 'accentuate the positive' rather than to invest more effort in speaking up for Israel's side of the story." He goes on to examine the merits of "rebranding" the nation versus facing political criticism head-on.
He contrasts Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's "ability to speak in short, coherent sound bites" with President Shimon Peres's conviction, when he was prime minister, that "the problem wasn't a matter of presentation but of wrong politics." He also contrasts two PR initiatives: Israel21c, which focuses on advocacy journalism in the form of features about technological advances and human interest stories, steering away from the conflict; and The Israel Project, committed to "debunking the notion that Israel sought war, but was instead consistently seeking peace." Of course, in both of these cases, the elephant in the think tank is "their own unwillingness to answer criticisms of settlement policies or the treatment of Palestinians that they may share."
Although he sees some merits to both tactics, Tobin does not keep it a secret that he believes the "lion's share" of advocacy resources should be directed toward "countering the evil arguments" of those who oppose Israel's existence. And while he makes a cogent case in favor of this point, he also plants the idea, at least in this reader's mind, that as long as there are people supporting a Jewish state that, however necessarily, relies heavily on its military and often acts first, defends itself later, there will be college kids, leftists, pacifists, self-serving politicians, and anti-Semites, who will oppose those actions. "Freedom fries" may not have done much to hurt a strong "French brand," but, as Tobin acknowledges, "Israel is not France."

Caroline is a whimsical dress that any girl will love! The bodice features a ruffled V neckline and a zipper closure. The skirt has plenty of twirl. The two tiers and double ruffles give it just the right bounce with weighing it down. We have finished it off with a beautiful attached sash.
The pattern includes instructions on how to mix and match fabrics to create a fun look all your own! Caroline evokes the essense of summer but she would be equally cute layered with long sleeves and boots for year round wear.

The season came to and end for the Chicago Bandits and local woman Andi Williamson.
The Bandits saw its National Professional Fastpitch season come to an end with last week's 1-0 loss to the Akron Racers in the league semifinal round series at Hoover Met Stadium in Hoover, Ala.
With the win, Akron won the best-of-three series two games to one and advanced to play the USSSA Pride in the best-of-three league championship series, known as the Cowles Cup.
Akron scored its only run of the game with a Jessica Garcia solo homer in the fourth inning.
Monica Abbott got the start for the second time in the three-game series, while Lisa Norris stepped in to the circle for the Racers.
Norris picked up the complete game shutout victory, allowing just three base runners on two hits by Amber Patton and Emily Allard and a walk given up to Tammy Williams.
Abbott pitched all seven innings in the loss for the Bandits allowing just one run on five hits while striking out nine batters.
Chicago failed to make it back to the NPF championship series. Last year, the Bandits lost two games to one in the best-of-three game finals.
Williamson did not pitch in the series with Akron.
This season, Williamson was 3-3 on the mound with a 2.84 ERA with the Bandits. She tossed 49.1 innings and allowed 20 earned runs on 53 hits with 24 strikeouts and 27 walks. She started 10 games and made three relief appearances.
Along with the Bandits, Williamson also plays in Japan for Team Toda and was expected to return to the team soon. Williamson played for Team Toda in their spring/summer series earlier this year.

High-rise deluxe living: Large PENTHOUSE flat in SOHO, in between MAYFAIR and COVENT GARDEN
Unrivaled PANORAMIC VIEWS: Located on the very TOP floor of a very well-kept modern high-rise in Soho, this penthouse flat offers SPECTACULAR VIEWS over London, while being in a very central location. This is not your average rental but our home away, from our Paris home, with contemporary furniture and fixtures (no Ikea here). There are 2 fast, good-sized passenger lifts to bring you to this highest floor in Soho. Many huge, ceiling high windows all-around the flat give lots of light and overlook the City of London, St. Paul's, House of Lords, the London Eye and Wembley stadium.
LOCATION: This is THE very heart of London, the so-called fashionable upscale West End (Westminster). You are in walking distance of the main London tourist attractions as well as the Thames river. The theatre district, Leicester and Trafalgar square, are right on your door step. Within one block are the major shopping areas of Oxford and Carnaby street, elegant Old Bond street, art galleries and trendy cafés of Old Compton's street, Berwick street food market,etc. (photos on our listing show views from the appartment and street views).
TRANSPORT: a 5 minute walk to various underground Stations: PICCADILLY or OXFORD Circus (from the latter, a 10 min. ride takes you to St Pancras station, where Eurostar train leaves for Paris). Leicester square and Covent garden metro stations are a 10 min walk.
• Desk with broadband internet hookup & WIFI, and telephone, stereo, Ipod player
• Luxury bathroom with ultra big modern shower room: big rain shower head, heated towelrack
• Fully equipped stylish open-plan kitchen: microwave-steam oven, induction plates, dishwasher, washer and dryer, cutlery, utensils, large fridge, all essentials for cooking
• Glass bar overlooking London, dining table for 4-6 in the living
• Spacious master bedroom: huge King-size bed with Tempur deluxe mattress, 30-inch TV screen
. Storage cupboards, deluxe cotton sheets, plenty of towel sets
Adjacent building is the Marshall Street Leisure Centre, with an Art Deco 30 yard long pool, sauna and fitness room; Acces costs less than 5£ per day. There is also a gardened terrace on 3d floor for use of residents only.
This flat offers upscale living in the most central part of London. It serves as owner's pied-à-terre when in London.
Refurbishment in 2013: Brand-new appliances, marble, leather furniture and other contemporary designer fixtures.
AREA: Soho is the area between Oxford St to the North, Regent St to the West, Leicester Sq to the South and Charring Cross to the East. The area to the West is Mayfair, to the North Fitzrovia, to the East St Giles's and Covent Garden and to the South St James's. Chinatown is sometimes considered part of Soho.
For personal and professional reasons we spend a few weeks per year in London. Just in between major metro stops of Picadilly and Oxford Circus, it also takes us 10 min to go to St Pancras train station where we hop on the eurostar train to Paris.
We love being in this flat, high up in the sky, bathing in light, having no noise while being in the center of dynamic London. We arranged the flat with all kinds of luxuries for our own comfort and yours. Also we have best food stores of London and trendy nightlife around the corner.
We really enjoyed our time here. The location is perfect, you can walk to all the tourist areas and it's close to the tube. The neighborhood is lively,Mitch cafes, bars and restaurants, plus terrific shopping within a block or two. The common areas of the building are not gorgeous, but the apartment itself is very comfortable with everything you need for a few days stay. It also is quiet despite the noisy neighborhood, maybe because it's so high up.
I have rented Paul's apartment since 2010 multiple times and spent more than 3 months time there.
To me this is the perfect spot for visit to London.
I spent wonderful hours just staring out of the huge windows overlooking London!
No better location imaginable in central London . You are in the middle of the theatres, stores, restaurants and sights, while being totally quiet . Because it's the top floor of one of the very rare high-rises of this part of central London. Two big elevators.
A fully equipped kitchen, coffee, juice makers; small extra's provided (tea, soap, cleanex, dishwasher soap etc) are nice.
I-pod station, hifi, large TV screen, dvd, fast broadband, beautiful furnitures. Awesome bathroom with a rain shower. The bedroom has one of the most comfortable mattresses I slept on. Perfectly clean, and the greeter was pleasant. He lives nearby and has been helpful also during my stay.
Do not hesitate to rent, things are as promised, hope this review helps
This upscale and exquisite 16th floor penthouse flat made our time in London absolutely magical. I can't say enough about the stunning views from this impeccable and contemporary high rise penthouse. You don't even need to go on the London Eye because you are staying in your own private London Eye - where coincidentally, you have a view of the London Eye. The location of this flat in the hip and trendy SOHO district of London couldn't be better. We walked everywhere and found the best shopping, coffee shops (try a flat white at Tap Coffee), and restaurants all within blocks of the flat. This penthouse is so stylish and the kitchen is fully equipped and has all the essentials needed for cooking. We also enjoyed having a dishwasher and full fridge. The view from the entire living room and glass bar adjacent to the kitchen is truly stunning. The bathroom is luxurious with its modern shower and heated towel racks. The bedroom's king size bed with Tempur mattress is incredibly comfortable and restful. At travel guru Rick Steve's advice, we watched some late night reality television (on 30" TV) from the comfort of the inviting king size bed to cure our jet lag (and the advice worked).
We had the most incredible time in London and this marvelous flat and its location was a significant factor in our complete contentment with our vacation. After a busy day seeing the sights of London, coming back to this distinctive, quiet and safe flat with its marvelous views and modern comforts was wondrous. I absolutely recommend this penthouse and would stay here again and again. I hope you will consider it too. I assure you that you will not be disappointed.
We just concluded a week stay at the Penthouse. We have been traveling to London for 25 years, first business and since retirement for pleasure. More recently we have rented flats because the upscale hotels have become very costly. The Penthouse met all our expections and was exactually as described and depicted on the Internet with an outstanding view of the skyline of London at night. It is very comfortable, secure, and great location. We use taxies and they are always available closer to the flat, although be ready to explain the flat location on returning since even the London Cabies are not knowledgeable of the flat street. There are many great restaurants near by, a liquor/wine store accross the street and a limited grocery store within 3 blocks. The TV is high tech and the wifi is high speed and fully dependable. When we come back to London we will stay at the Penthouse.
I very much enjoyed staying at the Dufours Place flat during my wonderful recent visit to London. The flat--its layout, its amenities, its central location and, certainly, the great views it offers of London--completely satisfied my needs during my stay there. As a single traveler the one bedroom flat, with its comfortable double bed, modern shower, wireless connection, washer/dryer and fully equipped kitchen, was perfect for me. There is no question I will be a return guest.
After staying at expensive hotels in Victoria on previous trips to London, I decided to try renting a more centrally located flat for my recent three-week stay, and am extremely glad I found this place.
The biggest impact was the incredible view to the east, of the City, St. Paul's, and Canary Wharf out the large windows from high up on the 15th floor. Views like this are rare in London, and whenever friends stopped by for drinks they were blown away. Even looking out while sipping my morning coffee was a thrill I never got tired of.
The flat is exactly as described, well appointed with everything you need for a pleasant stay. Having a washer/dryer was really convenient during my longer stay. The location is excellent, convenient to all sorts of attractions in central London, and yet the flat has a secluded feel due to being on a small court and high up. It was a pleasure dealing with the owner Paul, and the local caretaker Nick was very responsive to the few questions I had (he also went out of his way to get the place ready for an early arrival).
The flat has a sleek cooktop and also a microwave oven, but no conventional oven so you won't be cooking roasts; but with with so many restaurants in the area (including a tapas place used in the filming of an episode of "Sherlock"!), who cares? Also, right now there is a building going up two blocks away, creating some noise during the day. London is a dynamic place, and you'll see construction cranes all over.
All in all, I was very pleased to stay here, and hope to again on my next trip to London.

Restoring the
Glory ... Tennessee
The second in a series
analyzing what went wrong for some of the former superpowers
Pete Fiutak
to Fix ...
Florida State
The Tennessee
is a place that's always fancied itself as one of the elite superstars
of college football, and from time to time, it has been.
The Vols were the 1951 national champions, back when the title was given
before the bowl games, despite losing to Maryland in the Sugar Bowl. In
1997, before the BCS became the BCS as we know it now, the Vols, in
Peyton Manning's final game, got drilled in the Orange Bowl by Nebraska
in what was sort of a national title game, but wasn't, considering the
Rose Bowl wasn't on board yet. And then came 1998.
Tennessee had always been decent, winning 12 SEC titles before the 1998
season and being in the thick of the hunt in several other years, but it
hadn't been able to put together a wire-to-wire undefeated campaign like
it did it went on its fantastic national title run. Under the guidance
of QB Tee Martin, the Vols went 13-0, beating Florida State 23-16 in the
1999 Fiesta Bowl, and it seemed like the program was about to take off
and be a yearly powerhouse under head coach Phil Fulmer. This was
supposed to be the start of a run of national titles, or at least
championship appearances.
When it came to bringing in NFL talent, Tennessee was peerless, and
Peerless, with players like Peerless Price, Al Wilson, Jamal Lewis,
Shaun Ellis, and of course, Peyton Manning, just a few of the star
talents from the 1990s talent factory. 71 players Tennessee players were
drafted from 1990 to 2000, and with some great recruiting classes, the
haul of next-level players was going to keep Tennessee rolling after
going 45-5 from 1995 to 1998. The fan base believes its team should be
at a national title level every year, so ...
What Went Wrong?
Ever since winning the 1999 Fiesta Bowl, Tennessee not only hasn't
been to a national championship, but it hasn't won an SEC title. It had
its chance in 2001, having upset Florida in Gainesville to win the East
for the right to play LSU for the SEC Championship. Despite facing a
backup quarterback, the Vols lost 31-20, went on to throttle Michigan in
the Citrus Bowl, instead of facing Miami in the Rose Bowl for the whole
ball of wax, and hasn't been close to national title status since. Three
things contributed to the slide.
1) A slight talent drop
No one cranks out pro prospects on a consistent basis like Tennessee
does. Since 1980, the Vols have had at least four players taken in 21
drafts, keeping the pro shelves stocked for several years. When
Tennessee was humming in the late 1990s, and was a true national title
contender every year, it had Manning guiding the way, won the national
title the first year after he left for the NFL, and then the recruiting
fell off slightly. Tennessee was still getting a ton of talent, but
instead of getting the best of the best recruiting classes, it began to
be ranked in the middle of the top 25 pack. For example, the 2002
recruiting class, which should've hit its stride in 2005, was
highlighted by James Banks and Gerald Riggs Jr. There was just enough of
a slip to be the difference between being an elite team, and being a
very good SEC squad.
2) The SEC got a whole bunch better
In the mid-to-late 1990s, Georgia was mediocre, Alabama was
inconsistent, LSU turned into a punching bag, and Auburn fell off the
map until 2000. The overall improvement in the league over the last
seven years has made it that much tougher to dominate on a consistent
basis, and it showed, as Tennessee (after the weekend of October 6th and
the win over Georgia) had gone 9-9 in its last 18 SEC games.
3) The loss of David Cutcliffe
Coach Cut was the offensive coordinator in 1992 to 1998, and was a main
reason for the national title, and the development of Peyton Manning. He
left for Ole Miss in 1998, and while the offense continued to be fine
under Randy Sanders, it started to struggle in 2005 (helped by injury
issues). Fired by Ole Miss, Cutcliffe joined back up as the offensive
head man, and last year, the attack started to shine again.
How To Fix It
First of all, there's one simple fact missing here: Outside of an
amazing 50-game stretch, Tennessee was never quite the juggernaut it's
been made out to be. Of course, winning the national title was a big
deal, and of course, there were several great seasons over the last 25
years to keep the program in the spotlight, but before the back-to-back
SEC championship years of 1997 and 1998, the previous SEC championship
was 1989. That means it's important to ...
1) Realize that things aren't as bad as they appear to be
If we can all agree that the SEC is the best conference in America on a
consistent basis, and if we can all agree that it's a nasty league full
of major landmines to negotiate through, then winning 70 games over an
eight year span since winning the national title (averaging 8.75 per
season) isn't anything to scoff at. Last year's team went 9-4, losing to
eventual national champion Florida by one, to a powerhouse of an LSU
team by four, and on a late fumble in the Outback Bowl to Penn State.
Even the disastrous 2005 season wasn't as bad as it appeared, losing to
two teams that finished with ten wins, a Florida team that finished 9-3,
and a Notre Dame team that went to the BCS. That's why it's always
important to for Tennessee to ...
2) Wait their turn
It's next to impossible to be at a national title level, or even a
league title level, every single year playing in a conference like the
SEC. It's easy to forget that LSU, for as good as it's been in recent
years, has only won two SEC titles since 1986. Auburn has been amazing
under Tommy Tuberville, but it's only won one SEC title since the league
came up with its championship game. It's hard to win the SEC title year
in and year out, and as long as there's some consistency in the talent
level, eventually, the turn comes up when everything breaks the right
way. That might be this year. If this isn't an SEC championship season,
then it might be time to ...
3) Start with a fresh coaching staff
Fulmer is in his 30th year at Tennessee, and is in his 16th year as the
head man. In SEC shelf-life, that's almost unheard of. He's never quite
been able to attain the status of a Steve Spurrier, Mark Richt, or Nick
Saban as a beloved head coach, occasionally getting hit with the Mack
Brown-like tag of being a great recruiter who doesn't do enough with the
talent. It's unfair. Going 140-43 (after the October 6th game) at a
place like Tennessee should earn god-like acclaim, but it hasn't been
there, and he's had to endure unnecessary criticisms over recent years.
If the Vols don't end up winning the SEC Championship, it might be time
for a fresh start all the way around, just to shake things up a bit, and
it might not come with Fulmer being fired. There's a chance he could
simply end up saying he's had enough if things get sour.
This is Tennessee. It's an elite program with all the pieces in place to
win a national title again in a big hurry if the right coach comes
along. If Alabama, with all the problems it had in its search, could get
Saban, then Tennessee should also be able to get a superstar to take
over, if this actually is the end of Fulmer's run.

Conservative wins critical Cyprus presidency vote
Christofias was widely believed to have waited too long to respond to the crisis and to curb spending. He was also seen as dragging out negotiations with international creditors and missing the opportunity to secure a bailout earlier.
Anastasiades, who leads the main opposition Democratic Rally party, has boasted of his connections with Europe's center-right leaders and seeks to spend political capital he's built up over the years to convince Europe that Cyprus deserves help.
"When facing great challenges, we want Europe by our side," Anastasiades said.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso congratulated Anastasiades, saying Cypriots had given him "a strong mandate to implement his program of reform and to do what it takes to ensure fiscal and financial sustainability."
Barroso said he spoke to Anastasiades "and I have assured him that he can count on the continued commitment of the European Commission to assist Cyprus to overcome the challenges it faces."
Last year, Cyprus sought financial assistance of up to (EURO)17 billion ($22.7 billion), a sum roughly equivalent to its annual gross domestic product, which has raised concerns about whether the country would be able to pay back any loan. The country has been unable to borrow from international markets since mid-2011, and turned to long-time ally Russia for a (EURO)2.5 billion ($3.3 billion) loan to keep it afloat in 2012.
But Anastasiades' won't have an easy time negotiating a bailout without possibly more austerity pain for Cypriots, analysts said.
"It will be difficult to resist ... calls for privatizations and he will probably have to agree to sell a stake - ideally for him, not a controlling stake - in profitable government enterprises," Cyprus University political science professor Antonis Ellinas said. "The question is whether lenders think that this would be enough to make the debt sustainable.
"The risk Anastasiades - and foreign creditors - face, is that the new president will quickly lose political capital and become a lame duck long before recovery is in sight."
Cyprus, a divided island of around 1 million people in the far eastern end of the Mediterranean, is one of the smallest members of the 27-nation European Union. Cyprus was divided into a breakaway Turkish-Cypriot north and an internationally-recognized Greek-Cypriot south after a 1974 Turkish invasion triggered by a coup whose leaders wanted to unite the island with Greece. Nicosia is the world's last divided capital.
Anastasiades sent "a message of peace" to Turkish Cypriots, expressing a "sincere intention" to achieve a reunification deal with the support of the EU and "other friendly countries."

The following excerpt from Richard Beck's blog post today http://experimentaltheology.blogspot.com/2014/08/eccentric-christianity-part-6-eccentric.html is a real eye opener for me. He reveals a truth concerning our churches that I have sensed but have been unable to define. I am convicted.
Success in America is to need nothing. To never need help. Your job in America is to be fine. Autonomous and self-sufficient. To be anything less–to need the help of others–is to be a failure. A drag on society. A loser.
This shaming is killing our churches as it shuts down the economy of love, the ways in which we share and respond to the needs of others and how they respond to our needs. The theologian Arthur McGill calls this economy of love a community of neediness.
But the flow of this economy shuts down if everyone in the church is neurotically shamed into hiding their needs from others. We all would rather play the hero, we all want to be the helper, the one who serves. But we don't ever want to be the one being rescued, or the one needing help, or the one who is being served. Standing in that location–being the needy one among us–is very, very uncomfortable.
Churches tend to hide their fear of loving each other by serving strangers outside the community of faith. The church gives food at the food pantry. The youth group builds a house for a poor family on a mission trip. We send money overseas to the Third World.
Those people are the needy people. We'll help them. But me? I'm fine. I'm good. No, I don't need anything. Can I help you?
It's not that those people at the food pantry or in the Third World don't need anything. It's that the church is responding to these needs in a state of denial. The church is denying its own need, weakness and vulnerability. Thus, the church comes to see itself as a hero, riding in on a white horse to save others. Since we don't need anything from the people we are helping there is no reciprocity, no economy, no relationship, no giving and sharing back and forth.
We show up, do our good deeds and then pack up and leave. Why? Because we don't need anything from those people. They need us. We don't need them.
But we do need them. And we need each other.

Seems to be a verry nice and seducing tool. But unfortunately it doesn't work correctly on my PC (Windows 7 64 Bit, ATI Radeon HD 5450). The only files I am able to load are PNGs. All others cause the message "Cannot load". And if I change any adjustment to the loaded PNGs or just draw the selection, they turn into grey surfaces or the Programm freezes. Even if I only save the loaded PNGs. And I don't know what the GUI normaly looks like, but in my case there are no Icons visible, only blank fields. Not easy for me to rate this project, because it might be that I'm the only one with this problems. But in fact it's unusable to me at the moment.
Simple to use.
Works, very small, no complaints.

Digital Quantum Simulator Realized
Almost two years ago Rainer Blatt's and Christan Roos' research groups from the University of Innsbruck recreated the properties of a particle moving close to speed of light in a quantum system. They encoded the state of the particle into a highly cooled calcium atom and used lasers to manipulate it according to equations proposed by the famous quantum physicist Paul Dirac. Thereby, the scientists were able to simulate so called Zitterbewegung (quivering motion) of relativistic particles, which had never been observed directly in nature before. In the current work, the physicists use a digital approach instead of the previous analogue approach, and this universal digital quantum simulator can potentially be programmed to simulate any physical system efficiently. "We show in our experiment that our method works and that we can virtually recreate and investigate many systems," explains Benjamin Lanyon from the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. "When we want to study another phenomenon, we only need to reprogram our simulator."
The quantum computer at its best
The Innsbruck physicists use the building blocks of a quantum computer for the simulation. The mathematical description of the phenomenon to be investigated is programmed by using a series of laser pulses to perform a quantum calculation with atoms. Laser-cooled and electrically trapped calcium atoms are used as carriers of quantum bits (qubits). "We encode the desired initial state of the system to be investigated in these qubits and implement the operation sets by laser pulses," explains Christian Roos. He and his colleagues have demonstrated this method in two experiments at the IQOQI and the University of Innsbruck using up to 100 gates and 6 qubits. "One of the new scientific results is that interactions and dynamics can be simulated that are not even present in the quantum computer," says the enthused Benjamin Lanyon. He is convinced that this will be one of the most promising applications of a future quantum computer. "However, we still need a considerably higher number of quantum bits. This means that we need to be able to control and manipulate considerably more atoms — up to 40 — in the same exact way as we did in our experiment," says Lanyon.
First confirmation of approach
Physical phenomena are often described by equations, which may be too complicated to solve. In this case, researchers use computer simulations as a model to investigate open questions. Because this strategy is not feasible even for relatively small quantum systems due to the lack of the processing power of classical computers, the American physicist Richard Feynman proposed to simulate these phenomena in quantum systems experimentally. In 1996 the theorist Seth Lloyd confirmed the feasibility of this approach: Quantum computers can be programmed to efficiently simulate any physical system. A precondition for this approach is to have complete control over the technology and set-up of the simulator. This has already been achieved by Rainer Blatt's successful research group working on quantum computers over the last few years. Based on this groundwork, the physicists have now been the first to experimentally realize a quantum simulator.
The scientific work published in Science has been supported by the Austrian Science Fund, the European Commission and the Federation of Austrian Industries Tyrol.

The highest court in the United States has refused to review the case of a former Boston University student who was hit with a $675,000 penalty for illegally downloading music and sharing it on the Internet.
A Boston PhD student, who was found guilty in 2009 of illegally downloading and sharing songs published by the world's top record companies, has had his penalty reduced by a US judge on Friday.
A Boston University student says he is disappointed he has been ordered to pay $675,000 for illegally downloading and sharing 30 copyright songs. The Boston Globe reported Saturday a U.S.
A federal appeals court ruled on Thursday that oral arguments in a music-downloading lawsuit filed by the recording industry against a Boston University student can't be streamed online.

editors & contributors

The works of García Lorca, internationally recognized as Spain's most prominent lyric poet and dramatist of the twentieth century, are filled with thinly veiled homosexual motifs and themes.
There has always been homosexual involvement in American musical theatre and a homosexual sensibility even in straight musicals, and recently the Broadway musical has welcomed openly homosexual themes and situations.
Best known for his genius in art and architecture, Michelangelo was also an accomplished author of homoerotic poetry.
The African-American gay male literary tradition consists of a substantial body of texts and includes some of the most gifted writers of the twentieth century.
Combining elements of incongruity, theatricality, and exaggeration, camp is a form of humor that helps homosexuals cope with a hostile environment.
Langston Hughes, whose literary legacy is enormous and varied, was closeted, but homosexuality was an important influence on his literary imagination, and many of his poems may be read as gay texts.
James Baldwin, a pioneering figure in twentieth-century literature, wrote sustained and articulate challenges to American racism and mandatory heterosexuality.
Oscar Wilde is important both as an accomplished writer and as a symbolic figure who exemplified a way of being homosexual at a pivotal moment in the emergence of gay consciousness.
A promotional image for "Barbara Hammer: The Fearless Frame."
In February 2012, London's Tate Modern presents a major survey of the films of Barbara Hammer. "Barbara Hammer: The Fearless Frame" will include screenings of early, rarely seen Super-8 films, an evening of free expanded cinema performances in the Turbine Hall, an event in response to Hammer's work by artist Emily Roysdon, and several events featuring artists and speakers drawn from across Europe and North America, who testify to the powerful creative community Hammer has inspired.
The survey will be launched with a premiere of Hammer's new short film, Maya Deren's Sink (2011), a tribute to Deren's longstanding influence on the artist.
"Barbara Hammer: The Fearless Frame" opens on February 3, 2012 and concludes on February 26.
Hammer, who was born in Hollywood, California, in 1939, is the most prolific lesbian feminist filmmaker in the history of cinema.
She created her first film in 1967, Schizy, about her own coming-out process. She is best known for her experimental, nonlinear narratives, which are often lyrical and erotic.
As Gary Morris has noted in his glbtq.com entry on her, Hammer "can be said to have constructed, in what she has called her 'alternative autobiographies,' an alternative lesbian gaze."
Her most famous work is probably Nitrate Kisses (1992), which may be seen as an attempt to restore a lost queer history by intermingling images of lesbian and gay male lovemaking with aural and visual collages of concentration camps, the Hollywood Hays Code that banned "perversion," and snippets from what is often regarded as the first queer film made in the United States, Lot in Sodom (1933) by James Watson and Melville Weber.
Here is a brief clip from Nitrate Kisses.
Hammer's films are of crucial importance to a new generation of artists exploring new modes of experimenting with the moving image.

Celebrity Business Analyst Releases Weekend Box Office Report
Celebrity Business Analyst announces the release of its weekly box office report after a record-breaking weekend at the movies. The report comes on the back of a July 4 piece from The Inquisitr entitled "'Despicable Me 2' Breaks Records at the Box Office."
Austin, TX (PRWEB) July 12, 2013
Celebrity Business Analyst released its weekly box office analysis today following a July 4 piece from The Inquisitr that touted the instant success of Despicable Me 2. Along with the number one sequel, Celebrity Business Analyst discusses the box office performances of the weekend's other two runners-up.
1. Despicable Me 2: Families have enjoyed watching the first film of this series through satellite tv promotions, and fans everywhere have waited for this movie for three years. The sequel to the 2010 film has been so popular that it has broken records on its very first day in theaters. Despicable Me 2 reportedly made $34.3 million, making it Universal Pictures' biggest Wednesday opening ever. Not only did the film enjoy the number one spot at the box office, but it now comes in third place on the list of animated feature openings. Its total domestic gross for the weekend was $88.5 million.
2. The Lone Ranger: Less successful this weekend was Disney's revival of The Lone Ranger, starring Johnny Depp. Celebrity Business Analyst thinks that younger crowds will probably not remember the classic television series, and that could be one reason the movie spin-off didn't have an impressive opening. It grossed just over $29 million, which puts it far off track from its $215 million budget. Celebrity Business Analyst's senior writer still has hopes for the film, saying, "Depp is even more popular overseas than at home, so there's still a chance the movie will do well worldwide and pull in enough to cover its production budget."
3. The Heat: In its second week, Fox's comedy The Heat, starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy, got bumped down one spot. The movie made $24.7 million this weekend. Its total domestic gross after ten days in theaters is $86.4 million.
Celebrity Business Analyst summed up its box office analysis by stating that its forecast for the weekend's number one movie was spot on. The site did express surprise that The Lone Ranger didn't do as well as they had predicted, but all in all, the weekend report matched most industry-wide predictions.
About Celebrity Business Analyst:
