Possible Humans: On Juan José Saer
The "historical" novels stand doubly apart because, though set in the familiar ambience of the Litoral region, they lack the other consistent feature of Saer's novels and stories, which is the recurrence of characters—a device also used by Piglia—to create depth and resonance while highlighting artificiality. There's Cat Garay and his twin brother, Pigeon, who like the author moved to Paris; there's Tomatis, the witty, jaundiced journo; Elisa and her painter husband, Héctor; Botón, the bigmouth, and Washington Noriega, the sagacious mentor (an older ex-leftie turned academic, writing a treatise on the very Colastiné Indians invented in The Witness), among assorted pals and hangers-on. In contrast to the prose-poetry of minutely charted sensation, Saer's dialogue records scraps of banter in colloquial santafesino rhythms. This is the world of The Sixty-Five Years of Washington (1985), henceforth Sixty-Five. (The title does no favors to Steve Dolph's translation, which is full of elegant, resourceful solutions to a most difficult text yet splotched by basic errors. Why not simply "Washington's Sixty-Fifth," as the phrase refers to a birthday?)
Each Saer novel fascinates with its unique machinery: Sixty-Five is wholly discursive. Someone must be speaking the text, because he keeps saying things like "as yours truly was saying, no?" But because this nameless someone knows what everyone thinks and remembers as well as says, he must be a personified omniscient narrator—that is, conventional third-person narrative dressed up as a literal "voice." Within this oral frame people are said to speak, or to report the words of others, or to claim to report what others claimed that yet others said or did, in a maddening feedback of echoes and distortions proposed as realism. The Spanish title is Glosa, meaning commentary, or variation on a theme: every utterance is provisional, a gloss on a gloss. As in Plato's Symposium, events reach us fourth- or fifth-hand—but here it's through layers of misapprehension, wishful thinking, false memory or bad faith. There is no lofty absolute Being, only Becoming.
It's 1960, or '61, "what's the difference"? Ángel Leto, a scruffy young intellectual in a stew about his parents, decides to skip work and runs into an acquaintance, a resplendent rationalist just back from Europe known as the Mathematician. Uneasy with each other, they somehow stick together for a walk of more than a dozen blocks. As they inch along this grid—a hymn to Argentina's ruled streets and beveled intersections—the text billows out in clouds and fractals of consciousness. The intermittent conversation concerns Washington's sixty-fifth birthday party, which neither man attended, but the Mathematician had heard all about it from Botón on a ferry and shares the juicy details with Leto. Since both agree on Botón's stupidity, one suspects that the Mathematician is largely making it up, but again, what's the difference? For Leto,
Washington's birthday, the mosquitoes, Noca's horse, the table set under the imaginary pavilion, at once persistent and inconstant, clicking along in a unique, complex order, now make up a carousel of memories more intense, significant, but nevertheless more enigmatic, you could say, than many others which, originating in his own experience, ought to be stronger and more immediately present in his memory.
The spiraling sentences and overabundance of ideas—punctured by the flippant tone—make this novel a tough read. Twice it leaps forward seventeen years, and both times the prose becomes transparent and the reader can breathe, as though surfacing from deep water. But only in retrospect did I realize how funny and touching Sixty-Five really is. Saer, of all people, would understand if I stick to the poignant bits that stand out in my memory.
Condemned to operate in a fog of conjecture, Leto and the Mathematician are constantly misreading each other's body language, or angsting over how some remark might have been taken. They are typical of the insecure males in Saer's fiction, who live in terror of losing face. Early in Sixty-Five, the Mathematician—outwardly a confident upper-class achiever—recalls what he has tried to pack away under the label "The Incident" (though even now, years later, the "emotions and feelings of humiliation and rage form several black-bordered, jagged holes" inside his head). A big-shot poet from Buenos Aires was in town; the Mathematician had been corresponding with him over a matter of versification, and he proudly looked forward to having a chat at an official dinner. But the Mathematician gets left behind, and a string of panting pursuits, slights and cock-ups ends at 2 am, as the chairs are piled up in the bar where the poet, fleetingly caught up with, had promised to join him. Foreshadowing the frustrated humiliation of the mentalist in The Event, the Mathematician's shame and anger are deepened by "the desperation we feel when we realize that the external world's plans do not bear our desires in mind, no matter their intensity."
* * *
Toward the end, Leto, hitherto torn between suspicion and awe of the gracious, white-clad Mathematician, realizes something about his companion that shifts the balance of power between them. After an unsettling encounter with Tomatis and his version of Washington's birthday, they are standing on the curb before a road (which will take seven pages to cross) where the traffic is stalled. "The Mathematician's gaze pauses anxiously on the thin spaces between the bumpers"—again the terrifying multiplicities surrounded by thin spaces—"and then turns toward his own pants. His pants, Leto thinks, following each phase of the Mathematician's desolation, The risk of staining his pants." Pretending kindly not to have noticed (of course, the other is mortified by knowing that he did), Leto steers him through the threat and out the other side. Then he indulges in some well-earned class resentment: "They would give humanity everything, just not their pants…. They're gentle as lambs except when their pants are in danger. They are not to be trusted, even when they've given up everything and claim that they've kept only their pants."
The final pages, told in a clipped future tense, impart what will happen to each character after General Videla takes over in 1976. It's a jolt to anyone who's read Nobody Nothing Never to learn that Cat and Elisa will be "disappeared" without a trace, what must be days after that novel ended on an optimistic note. The handsome, déclassé Mathematician falls in love with an ugly radical, who gets killed; he becomes an international academic. Leto will join the guerrillas, going underground and becoming ever more dulled and drained until he is cornered by soldiers and can bite the suicide pill that has become his reason for living. A dispiriting snapshot of the resistance, perhaps, but Saer never let his leftism distort his commitment to philosophical doubt.
The future section includes a sighting of Tomatis in the swamps of depression, presumably induced by the political situation. It's a relief to find him jaunty again in The Investigation, published in 1994 but set in the mid-1980s, after the democratic restoration. The structure interleaves Paris and Santa Fé, winter and summer, a whodunit and a whowroteit: neither mystery will, of course, be solved. Saer too is back in top form here, building intellectual labyrinths with splendidly carnal language. The novel opens in Paris, where the honest-loner cop, Morvan, is searching for a sadistic killer of old ladies. Evidence mounts that he might himself be the author of the crimes. All the conventions of detective fiction are rolled out, and we accept them unthinkingly—until it turns out, much later, that it's Pigeon, down from France on a visit, who is preposterously relating all this as a true story to Tomatis over a beer. Beyond the game with oral and literary conventions, The Investigation dramatizes the epistemological questions posed in Sixty-Five. Says who? How do they know? Does it matter?
In parallel, an unattributed "dactylogram," or typescript, has been found among the late Washington's papers, and his disciples would like to remove the material—literally, an unstructured chunk of fiction—for forensic and literary analysis. Pigeon is already sure it's not by Washington, though after the trap of the detective story, we could believe anything. This text, In the Greek Tents, is alleged to tackle the question of veracity from the perspective of one soldier who's been bogged down outside Troy for years, set against that of another, fresh from Sparta, who knows much more about every detail of the siege. Presence, Saer reminds us again, is no guarantee of truth.
It isn't even a guarantee of experience, as Pigeon discovers when this passionately anticipated trip home leaves him unmoved. In a bleak and beautiful passage, the exile "is at last an adult," who understands
that it is not in one's native land that one has been born, but in a larger, more neutral place, neither friend nor enemy, unknown, which no one could call his own and which does not give rise to affection but, rather, to strangeness, a home that is not spatial or geographical, or even verbal, but rather, and insofar as those words can continue to mean something, physical, chemical, biological, cosmic, and of which the invisible and the visible, from one's fingertips to the starry universe, or what can ultimately be known about the invisible and the visible, form a part, and that that whole which includes even the very limits of the inconceivable, is not in reality his homeland but his prison, itself abandoned and locked from the outside—the boundless darkness that wanders, at once glacial and igneous, beyond the reach not only of the senses, but also of emotion, of nostalgia and of thought.
Though The Investigation may be about elusive authorship, this passage could only have been written by Juan José Saer.

Frack Target: Marcellus Shale
Water Resources at Stake: Monongahela River, Ohio River, Elk River, Little Kanawha River, Sutton Lake, Summersville Lake, Tygart Lake, Bluestone Lake
West Virginians have seen their fair share of disastrous energy extraction techniques – like mountaintop removal coal mining - but as the fracking boom makes its way to their home state, residents face a whole new set of problems. The gas industry is taking advantage of lax regulations in West Virginia to pump the streams excessively, sometimes until they are dry. And fracking-related activity was the suspected culprit in a toxic algae bloom that wiped out thousands of fish, mussels and other aquatic life in 35 miles of Dunkard creek – one of the most biologically diverse creeks in the state.
Below is a map of some of the high profile incidents ("fraccidents") related to the country's gas drilling boom that have already occurred in and around West Virginia. Click on any fraccident to learn more.

Are Left-Handers More Romantic Than Right-Handers? With Valentine's Day Around the Corner, thelefthandstore.com Proves that Left-Handers Make Better Valentines
With Valentine's Day around the corner, those in the market for a Valentine should look for a lefty. Lefties tend to have looks, brains, creativity and empathy – very important qualities in a lover. The lefthandstore.com shows how lefties are more romantic, and make better Valentines.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 25, 2012
Anyone in the market for a Valentine should look for a lefty. Lefties tend to have looks, brains, creativity and empathy – very important qualities in a lover. Plus, they are romantic – more emotional than strictly rational. Warm and funny (many comedians are lefty), musical, and spatially perceptive, left-handers can provide the ideal complement to a less emotional, logical, right-handed mate.
Lefties can be very physical – from top left-handed athletes to left-handed performers and comedians, lefties communicate with and understand nuances of movement and gesture better than many right-handers. Often more visual than analytical, many lefties rely on facial and bodily cues to read what's going on around them, as well as what other people intend. Similarly, they communicate eloquently with body language – through expression, eye contact, even through musical instruments. The ranks of both comedians and psychiatrists, as well as baseball pitchers and tennis players, are famously loaded with lefties.
Even more crucial than physical attraction and enjoyable companionship, the most basic and ancient requirement in a mate is that they be a good provider. Its no accident that a great number of world leaders are now, and have been since the time of lefty Alexander the Great, left-handers. As Melissa Roth explains the The Left Stuff, left-handers have a spatio-temporal understanding rooted in a more developed right hemisphere of the brain, that has led to higher than average representation among world leaders. From Emperor Julius Caesar to President Barack Obama, Napoleon to Netanyahu, left-handers have literally ruled the world. These leaders can both see the results of strategies as they play out in the future, and project the vision needed to lead.
Film-makers and artists, performers and presidents, movie stars and geniuses (like Albert Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci), lefties are not often shy. Though their numbers are small, their influence is mighty. Right-handers especially look for a lefty to be their Valentine, and keep life interesting.
Lefties and their Valentines can find an extensive selection of Valentine's Day gifts for lefties at Lefty's in Pier 39, San Francisco, in the Marketplace at Downtown Disney, Walt Disney World Resorts, Orlando, and at Old Town Kissimmee, FL, and, of course, on-line at http://www.thelefthandstore.com.

PUD creating salmon habitat along Sultan River
Michael O'Leary / The Herald
A helicopter prepares to lower a log into place as to improve fish habitat in one of four side channels to Sultan River, a project being built by the Snohomish County PUD.

Michael O'Leary / The Herald
This is one of the four side channels to the Sultan River being created by the Snohomish County PUD. The project, northwest of downtown Sultan, will improve salmon habitat.
The bustle in the air and on the ground at Sultan's Osprey Park was part of a $3 million project by the Snohomish County Public Utility District. The work fulfills one of several promises the PUD made last year as part of a new, long-term license to operate a dam and hydropower plant upstream.
"When you see the finished project, it'll look very natural," PUD fish biologist Keith Binkley said. "You'll see lots of fish, you'll smell the rotting carcasses, you'll get the whole experience."
The habitat project began this summer. It involves carving nearly two miles of side channels along the river, where logs brought by air and ground will slow down the flow of water. That, it's hoped, will create an ideal place for fingerling salmon to grow to a healthy size before swimming out to the ocean.
There are four channels in all, plus eight log jams -- each basically a giant, tangled ball of 50 to 60 tree trunks. New pedestrian bridges and trails are going in, as well.
The channel work passes through woods at Sultan's Osprey and Reese parks. This fall, the utility plans to replant areas disturbed by the heavy construction work.
The fish habitat work stems directly from the PUD's new 45-year license to operate its Culmback Dam and the Henry M. Jackson Hydroelectric Project several miles upstream on the Sultan River.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission granted the new license in September 2011.
To reach that point, the PUD forged agreements over ways to minimize the dam and hydropower plant's impact on the natural river environment. Stakeholders included the tribes, environmental groups and the city of Sultan. The end result obligated the PUD to spend $21.4 million on projects to restore fish habitat and whitewater recreation.
"What we're trying to do here is mimic the conditions of a free-flowing river," Binkley said.
The cost will be financed with bonds backed by power bills that PUD customers pay.
Other items on the project list already are done. They include raising water temperature in the river slightly by releasing water from Spada Lake reservoir. The utility also has opened the top of the Culmback Dam to hikers.
An access trail for whitewater rafters should be ready in late 2013 or 2014.
The dam was built in 1965 to expand Spada Lake and increase the supply of drinking water. About 80 percent of the drinking water for Snohomish County now comes from Spada Lake, via Lake Chaplain, to the city of Everett.
In 1984, the PUD added the Henry M. Jackson Hydroelectric Project, which includes tunnels and pipelines to divert water from the lake to a pumphouse downstream. There, turbines generate about 5 percent of the PUD's power, enough for about 35,800 homes.
All of that has come at some expense to the environment, and the recreation it provided.
The low water flow caused by the dam and the pipeline made life tough for fish and took away what once was a prime whitewater rafting spot. Side channels to the river, like the ones now being carved through the woods, dried up. Accumulating debris and the occasional torrential flow of water have been other side effects.
The goal, Binkley said, is not just to increase the number of fish coming to spawn, but to encourage the healthier stocks by giving juvenile fish an optimal place to grow.
"What we're trying to do is be good stewards of the environment, to do what's best for fish," Binkley said.
The Sultan River is home to steelhead and four different types of salmon: pink, coho, chinook and chum.
PUD spokesman Neil Neroutsos said the fish population has increased and a monitoring effort is under way to keep better track of the number of spawning fish.

To be honest, i don't know what happened, it was working fine and now it doesn't i don't feel i have changed nothing.
I have the .desktop file in .local/share/launchers. Its code is:
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/usr/local/MATLAB/R2012a/bin/matlab -desktop
But i don't think the problem is related to this. Maybe some of the last updates? I don't know.
The point is that now, when i run matlab from its launcher a second icon will show up. Funny thing is that if i put the mouse on the new icon the text that appears onto it is not the one i have in my .desktop file, so my guess is that the launcher is launching the script but it is not capable of associating it with its icon, so it launches a secondary one.
So far it only happened with matlab. Any answer is welcome! Thanks!

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Mary L Bloomfield, BA RT (R) (M)(Froedtert Hospital)
Description: This basic positioning and related anatomy book is meant to be used as a textbook for first year radiologic technology students. It contains all the necessary information for students and the chapters are organized in a logical sequence. Each chapter contains a list of positions/projections that are covered, learning objectives, basic anatomy, and routine and alternative positions/projections. The first edition was published in 1998.
Purpose: The author has written this book to convey the "excitement and challenge of the subject" and to "facilitate the students' mastery" of the content. These are worthy objectives, but this book is not much different from other radiographic positioning and procedures that are available. I do not think this book is needed. It is very difficult for any book to meet these objectives. The many color illustrations make it more interesting to read, however, and the chapters are written in a concise manner.
Audience: According to the author, "the study of radiographic positioning and procedures is at the core of any radiography curriculum." This book contains the appropriate amount of material for radiologic technology students. This author is certainly a credible authority in the field.
Features: This book covers all the basic material necessary for first year radiologic technology students. It includes an introductory chapter, chapters on the chest and abdomen, and chapters on anatomy and positioning of the axial and appendicular skeleton. Sections cover the digestive and urinary systems. Trauma radiography of various parts of the body is presented and a section covers special radiography. This book covers an appropriate amount of material without going into too much detail, which is good for beginning radiographers. The color anatomy drawings are large and nicely labeled. The color drawings of the radiographs are not good, however, and it appears they were drawn by an artist who is not familiar with the anatomy shown. There are also several errors in the pictures such as the upside down radiograph and drawing of the esophagus on page 627, and the lateral lower leg radiograph labeled as an AP on page 274. These are very basic mistakes that make it very difficult for students to trust the information presented.
Assessment: The book is beautiful to look at and has many attractive features. However, in addition to the other shortcomings, the radiographs are not labeled with a right or left in many instances (page 124) and some of the pictures of positions are not good (page 160). These things are critical in a text for beginning students who need to learn the right way to do the exams. It also appears that the positioning portion is not entirely up to date. I use the positioning information presented in the 10th edition of Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positions and Radiologic Procedures (Elsevier, 2006). This book has a different centering point for the shoulder (page 178), and doesn't discuss angling the tube either cephalic or caudal on an AP knee (page 280) depending on the measurement from the ASIS of the patient to the tabletop.

This was a great tour. I would highly recommend Sonny Liston tours. The views from MountainTop were beautiful. We ended with a trip to Sapphire beach - definitely a great choice. Sonny made it all a lot of fun with the lively music and his singing, as well as being very informative.
We had a wonderful time. The guide was great. He told us so much about the island and was very helpful. The only thing is that I would have liked to have seen the town of Case as it said instead of Orient Beach.
You can't go pass St. Thomas without taking an excursion with Sunny Liston. Highly recommendable, very knowledgeable tour guide.
The Tour operator - Sunny Liston - what a great time we had - Sunny made this tour a great experience -
We sang, laughed, were educated about the island and took us to a beautiful beach called sapphire beach -
The sand was white and the views amazing. Every time we came along side another tour bus all their eyes were on us and you could see they were wishing they were on our tour. We would definitely choose Sunny Liston Tours again and recommend our friends and family . A GREAT DAY - THANK YOU AGAIN SUNNY!!!!!
We really enjoyed this tour. Elvis, our guide, was excellent. He made us laugh and was really knowledge about the island and its history. We highly recommend this tour.
Excellent tour highly recommended your guide Elvis is great
Our was awesome!! Our tour guide was the best; besides giving us an insight on St. Thomas, he had music on, made us sing and laugh the whole time! We were first dropped off for an hour to shop in all these pretty little stores which are quite close to each other. After that, we stopped in some places to have a glance at an amazing view of St. Thomas. Last but not least, we were taken to the beautiful Sapphire beach and had two hours to spend there.I highly recommend this tour (and the Banana Daiquiri, and the Rum Punch in Sapphire Beach )
We took Sunny Tours and our driver known as Sunny was amazing. Very full of life and plenty of island jokes. He informed you of all the sights and the history behind them. He is not afraid to grab your camera and take family photos for you like most tour guides! This excursion was very worth taking!
This was an excellent excursion in a newer open-air Ford pickup truck that is converted to hold about 18 passengers (these are the most common form of transportation of tourist on the island-- you see them everywhere). We got to learn the history and see the sights of pretty much the entire island of St. Thomas. Our driver Elvis was very knowledgably and made the trip fun by adding music and singing songs. We took several short stops of 5-10 minutes each, a stop of 45 minutes at Mountain Top, and a two hour stop at Sapphire Beach, which was less crowed, more scenic, more coral, and no extra admission cost than the more famous Magens Beach (Elvis let us do a bus vote on which beach to visit-- Sapphire won unanimously). The excursion lasted a bit over six hours total. Since we had about 9 hours in this port, this tour and beach experience made for a perfect day in St. Thomas!
We had a great time - laughed the whole time - our driver was really made our trip fun - as we pasted by other buses you could tell they wished they were on our bus. Loved our driver!!!
This was lots of fun. We shopped for 2 hours, which went very fast. Then we did a bit of sightseeing as we drove to Mountaintop, which had beautiful views. Had a yummy banana daiquiri at the wonderful gift shop (wish we had more time there) and then went to BEAUTIFUL Meagan's beach. Great day. LOVED Elvis our guide.
I would highly recommend Viator. We used Viator for two excursions and Carnival for one. We enjoyed the excursions with Viator much more than the Carnival excursion in St. Marteen. I liked the option of choosing the amount of time for shopping on this excursion. Magens Bay was beautiful. It is worth the $4 admission fee.
Our driver was helpful and informative
Elvis is great! He knows well about the island, history and the beautiful places we need to see. I highly recommend him to everybody. Your experience in St Thomas will be perfect with him. Thanks Elvis! You were great indeed.
Sunny was our guide, he was friendly, informative and fun! Loved the music on the bus, he got everyone pumped up!
The tour group that hosted our tour was called Sunny Liston. Our driver was awesome! He was very knowledgeable and made the trip a lot of fun. He sang and had us singing. We had to hang on because at times it felt like we were on an amusement park ride. We definitely got our money's worth. The only suggestion I would have would be if you are not into jewelry shopping, shorten the trip a little. All we found for shopping in St. Thomas were jewelry stores. We spent our shopping time sitting in the park waiting for the island part of the tour to begin. I was hesitant to book with Viator never having heard of them, but I would book with them again. It was definitely worth the money and it was a blast!
'Sunny Liston' made our tour group the envy of all the other tours. He had us singing along with him and as we passed other tours they would check us out and see the fun we were having.
Sunny was great provides very detail information and entertain you on the trip.
Excellent day, knowledgeable driver and beautiful scenery. Highly recommend this tour.
Our driver was very nice and funny! He had the bus pumping with his music and singing. He encouraged everyone to join in the singing. He was very informative and shared lots of information about the island. I enjoyed being able to get off of the bus and walk around and see the different shops on my own.
Our tour was GREAT!!!! We had the best time, will tour with him again on our next visit.
We took the shore excursion on Feb 6 2013. Elvis was our driver and tour guide. He is very informative, and lots of fun. You definitely get your moneys worth and would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the island.
Sonny was our tour guide, driver, and Disc Jockey.... Greatest fun was had. The tour ran on time for all segments; shopping in Charlotte Amalie; then given our choice of beaches. We choose Magen's beach and it was beautiful, not crowded. Sonny was very informative and shared his island knowledge. Thanks Viator
Sonny Liston tour was great tour guide,we enjoyed his commends and sing while going from place to place.Highly recommend this tour!
Loved it

Dick and Jane Song of the Week: "Meant To Be"
By Jamie Eubanks
I've been hurt before. There are scars on my heart. I put all my faith in you, praying you wouldn't tear me apart. You seemed different in every way. You never ever ran from me. You never played those stupid games. It was easy to fall for you.
I think you knew why I looked at you that way. I tried to hide and make it go away. I tried to stop and put on the brakes. But my heart wasn't listening. You stopped my heart and I couldn't breathe. And I was left wondering. Do you feel it too? Or is it just me? Or maybe you and I are meant to be.
I tried to tell you before, but I couldn't find the words. I was too afraid and always just let it go. But I won't hide it anymore. No, it's time for you to know.

Ask Grover: What's Your Favorite Breakfast Fruit?
May 28, 2015
Interferon beta, the most commonly prescribed drug to treat M.S., helps reduce the development of brain lesions and limit the frequency of relapses.
After decades of research, a rapid rollout of sophisticated treatments is changing how the disease is managed.
Diane Kessler, 54, is unable to walk down the stairs from her second-floor apartment, though she manages the trip up, pulling herself along the railing.
Acorda Therapeutics won the backing of European Union regulators for a drug it makes with Biogen Idec to improve walking in multiple sclerosis patients, setting off a 14 percent gain in its share price.
Agency backing had largely been expected after a unanimous recommendation by an advisory panel in June for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis.
An Italian doctor suggests widening veins to ease symptoms of multiple sclerosis, and his theory has caught on with patients and some doctors, too.
For a woman with multiple sclerosis, a gift-giving plan changed her outlook and improved her health — and science appears to back her up.
Biogen says its partner, Elan, has violated their deal to share ownership of the drug Tysabri. Elan says it has not.
The results could lead to approval of the first drug to treat a specific symptom of the disease.
Genentech and Biogen Idec's cancer drug Rituxan did not slow the disabling effects of the most difficult form of multiple sclerosis in a large clinical trial.

Research on public attitudes to inequality has tended to focus more on revealing attitudes than exploring what motivates them. This study aims to fill some of the gaps in existing research to provide useful insights for practitioners and policy-makers.
This episode of Radio 4's Thinking Allowed series includes a segment on gangs and looks at what happens when a violent gang tries to refashion itself as a political movement. David Brotherton, Associate Professor of Sociology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice is co-author of 'The Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation: Street Politics and the Transformation of a New York City Gang', an account of his experience of the notorious New York branch of an American super gang and its decision to go straight. He joins Laurie Taylor to discuss. The segment is first in the audio clip.
The first programme in the series looks at the American social psychologist Solomon Asch and his studies on conformity in the 1950s. Claudia Hammond investigates the reasons for conformity and asks whether we're more or less likely to conform today.
In a contribution to the JRF's 'social evils' series, Chris Creegan focuses on the social evils of British society experienced by people whose voices are not usually heard. The research used workshops/discussion groups with lone parents, ex-offenders, unemployed and other vulnerable and socially excluded people to explore their personal experiences of living and coping with social evils. Suggestions for overcoming them point to both individual and collective responsibility.
This episode of Radio 4's Thinking Allowed series includes a segment on the history of the housewife. Laurie Taylor talks to Dr Justine Lloyd, Visiting Fellow in the School of Sociology at the University of Lancaster and co-author of 'Sentenced to Everyday Life - Feminism and the Housewife' which examines the history of the housewife in the 1940's and 1950's, and asks whether she was really more of a feminist than we might think. The segment is second in the audio clip after a discussion on cricket.
Reviews recent literature on how early years experiences may impact on life chances for different groups of the population. Life chances can cover a range of opportunities that people can experience as they become adults and into their later life. These opportunities include, for example, the likelihood of being in employment over individuals' lifetimes, the chances of obtaining educational qualifications and the chances of good physical and mental health.
This report asks what a focus on severe child poverty adds to our understanding of child poverty and what it may suggest in terms of future strategic approaches and policy solutions With the government committed to their goal of ending child poverty by 2020 there are concerns that policy has not reached those families in the most severe poverty.
This report examines the extent to which work can contribute to the eradication of child poverty, and identifies a number of issues that necessarily arise if work is seen as the best route out of poverty. The government has repeatedly stated that work is the best route out of poverty. This implies that work is not the only route, but is the preferred or main route in tackling child poverty. This report examines the extent to which there is underemployment among parents and a desire to work among parents who are not currently working.
Bullying does not only happen in normal school hours, it can happen anywhere. Children who are badly bullied in school are more likely than others to be bullied outside of it too. This guidance is aimed at managers, staff and volunteers in youth activities, clubs and groups – including local authority and third sector providers, and voluntary management committees. It outlines the possible bullying that might occur in youth activities and describes steps to prevent it and respond to it effectively.
This guide is an introduction to setting up groups for young refugees and provides information on why there is a need to establish groups across the UK; the substantial benefits groups can provide to young refugees; practical tips on setting up a group; group membership; group leadership and support; and key contacts and further reading.

sediment. In some portions of the river system, sediment is overly abundant and for that reason can be considered a contaminant. In other places it is considered a natural resource in deficient supply.
At the scale of the entire Mississippi River, including its effects that extend into the northern Gulf of Mexico, nutrients and sediment are the two primary water quality problems. Nutrients are causing significant water quality problems within the Mississippi River itself and in the northern Gulf of Mexico. With regard to sediment, many areas of the upper Mississippi River main channel and its backwaters are experiencing excess sediment loads and deposition, while limited sediment replenishment is a crucial problem along the lower Mississippi River and into the northern Gulf of Mexico. Nutrients and sediments from nonpoint sources are the primary water quality problems focused on in this report. With respect to nutrients and sediments (and some toxic substances), water quality in the lower Mississippi River is determined largely by inputs in the upper Mississippi River basin, with different portions of the upper river basin having a dominant influence for particular constituents. For example, sediment loads are determined largely by the Missouri River contributions, and nutrient contributions are primarily from the upper Mississippi River.
In addition to nutrient and sediment issues, the Mississippi River has a variety of other water quality challenges. Toxic substances, including PCBs, metals, and pesticides, have important human health implications and are related primarily to legacy inputs. Their concentrations, fortunately, have been decreasing with time, in large part due to reductions in point source contributions as a result of the Clean Water Act. Similarly, the Clean Water Act has been useful in substantially reducing fecal coliform levels in the Mississippi River. The Clean Water Act was designed to remediate some of the impacts of human activities and has been effective in reducing many impacts attributable to point sources. Many of today's water quality problems, however, are nonpoint in nature.
Whereas the Clean Water Act has been successful in reducing many point source pollution problems along the Mississippi River, it has not been as successful in reducing nonpoint source pollutants. Both the source and the scale of Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico nonpoint source water quality problems pose significant Clean Water Act-related management challenges. The following chapters describe the Clean Water Act and discuss challenges in its administration to achieve its goals of attaining fishable and swimmable water quality and restoring the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of water resources as these goals apply to the Mississippi River.

Lapsang Souchong Loose Tea
£6.50£6.50 Was: £6.50£6.50 - £6.50
November's Tea of the MonthOrigin: Fujian Province, ChinaLeaf Type: Black TeaTaste: Smooth, with a distinctive smokinessDrink: Best without milkBrew: 3-5 minutes according to tasteWhen to drink: During a mid-morning brunchGrown solely in China's Fujian Province, this iconic smoky tea has been dried over fires of resin- sweet pinewood, a technique discovered by accident way back in the 16th century. After a travelling army decided to spend the night in the tea warehouses, there was only one thing to save the tea from the stench: smoking it over wood from the local pine forests. European merchants soon developed a taste for the astonishingly aromatic brew – and the rest is history…
100% Black Tea Packed in an environment where nuts are handled.
Brew a Perfect Cup
Ideally warm the pot first with a splash of hot water. Use one teaspoon (around 2g) per cup and always use freshly drawn and boiled water. Allow to brew for 3-5 minutes according to taste. Can be drunk with or without milk.

An Impressive lapsang souchong tea a complex smoke aroma in smell and taste a high quality tea for the bold tea lover
Personal Blend
20th April 2015 Posted by marina
I blend it with English Breakfast or Russian Caravan in order to have a more delicate flavour: it's really wonderful
Lapsang Souchong
13th April 2015 Posted by David Hately
This is a very complex Lapsang Souchong and can provide very different drinks when changing only the brew time. Short brewing gives a more smoky, thinner tea (along the lines of a Pu-erh, but very smoky) - while longer brewing releases the oily mouth-feel and reduced smoky flavours. I drink it either with or without milk. A long brew, quite strong, with a dash of milk reminds me of steam locomotive workshops!
Normally a non tea drinker.
29th July 2014 Posted by Ed Hart
Coffee is normally my drink. I always refuse tea as a drink. However my wife suggested I gave this blend a try. The flavour is nothing like I was expecting. To my a lovely earthy flavour and I am now hooked. It's a refreshing change from my normal coffee. Love it.
Not for me
25th July 2014 Posted by Martin Frost
I tried this and was not a fan, Tasted like burnt food, :( You know.. you burn something and think, Oh well I can eat around it, But then find out the food has that burnt taste to it..
Brilliant and rich
19th July 2014 Posted by HS
Out of all the lapsang souchongs I've tried this definitely has the richest, most intriguing flavour. Rather than a plain smoky aroma the smoke has a hint of sweetness on an overall savoury flavour reminscient of a grilled meal, almost like a pu-erh. Lovely with milk too; the flavour isn't lost at all.

Take what life gives you if there is no more than a second chance.
Take your hands out of your pocket, because life may push you hardly at any time!
Take your life in your own hands and what happens A terrible thing no one to blame.
Take your life in your own hands and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame.
Talent develops in tranquillity, character in the full current of human life.
Tangled web of deceit is the most dangerous situation to be in. Never begin to fall into that trap, no matter how attractive it may be. Truth will always set you free. Truth always triumphs in the end. Lead the life with Truth, Honesty and Integrity.
Tears are sometimes an inappropriate response to death. When a life has been lived completely honestly, completely successfully, or just completely, the correct response to death's perfect punctuation mark is a smile.
Technology is a gift of God. After the gift of life it is perhaps the greatest of God's gifts. It is the mother of civilizations, of arts and of sciences.
Tell me not, in mournful numbers,Life is but an empty dreamFor the soul is dead that slumbers,and things are not what they seem.Life is real Life is earnestAnd the grave is not its goalDust thou art to dust returnest,Was not spoken of the soul.
Tell me what gives a man or woman their greatest pleasure and I'll tell you their philosophy of life.
Tests and exams do not determine who is in the right standing. Tests and exams only determine who is left standing. However even if you are knocked down you can still rise again. How far you go in life does not depend on tests and exams but on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the old, sympathetic and tolerant with others who are not as strong as yourself.
Thank God, for your life is an act of his grace i.e. your life is a privilege which shouldn't be taken for granted. I mean, you're specially blessed.
Thanks to his constant habit of shaking the bottle in which life handed him the wine of experience, he presently found the taste of the lees rising as usual into his draught.
That best portion of a good man's life, His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.
That family glaze of common references, jokes, events, calamities-that sense of a family being like a kitchen midden layer upon layer of the things daily life is made of. The edifice that lovers build is by comparison delicate and one-dimensional.
That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you've understood all your life, but in a new way.
That is what marriage really means helping one another to reach the full status of being persons, responsible and autonomous beings who do not run away from life.
That is what marriage really means: helping one another to reach the full status of being persons, responsible and autonomous beings who do not run away from life.
That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet.
That it will never come again is what makes life sweet.
That life is worth living is the most necessary of assumptions, and, were it not assumed, the most impossible of conclusions.
That man can destroy life is just as miraculous a feat as that he can create it, for life is the miracle, the inexplicable. In the act of destruction, man sets himself above life he transcends himself as a creature. Thus, the ultimate choice for a man, inasmuch as he is driven to transcend himself, is to create or to destroy, to love or to hate.
That was and still is the great disaster of my life-that lovely, lovely little boy.
That young girl is one of the least benightedly unintelligent organic life forms it has been my profound lack of pleasure not to be able to avoid meeting.
– Marvin, _Life, the Universe, and Everything_ by Douglas Adams
That's the secret to life... replace one worry with another....

This way they do not have to take off the seat or try to get clamps to the battery... just plug in and jump start. So the reason for this little adapter is so that they can connect the charger directly to the 8 gauge harness and charge the battery if needed. It just eliminates having to have an SAE harness AND our seperate 8 gauge harness.... Cleans it up a bit.
A normal SAE cable would burn up trying to jump start through it.... so we will have the 8 gauge wire and they can put this tip on the charger to charge through the 8 gauge wire.... Hope I made sense... I will try to post the harness also...
That is very slick. Is your source for those adapters capable of producing some SAE gender changers for me? I used to have a bunch of them but can no longer find a source.
I make 8 gauge heavy duty SAE jumper cables for friends of mine. And a gender changer would surely come in handy for me.
So my place burned down, any advice or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Any lawyers in the house?

Remote sensing instruments are of two primary types—passive and active. Passive sensors detect natural energy (radiation) that is emitted or reflected by the object or scene being observed. Reflected sunlight is the most common source of radiation measured by passive sensors. Active sensors, on the other hand, provide their own source of energy to illuminate the objects they observe. An active sensor emits radiation in the direction of the target to be investigated. The sensor then detects and measures the radiation that is reflected or backscattered from the target.
Passive Sensors
Passive sensors include different types of radiometers and spectrometers. Most passive systems used in remote sensing applications operate in the visible, infrared, thermal infrared, and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Passive remote sensors include the following:
The following table lists and describes many of the passive sensors whose data are supported by EOSDIS. Some of these sensors may overlap categories.
Active Sensors
The majority of active sensors operate in the microwave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which makes them able to penetrate the atmosphere under most conditions. An active technique views the target from either end of a baseline of known length. The change in apparent view direction (parallax) is related to the absolute distance between the instrument and target.
The following table lists and describes many of the active sensors whose data are supported by EOSDIS. Some of these sensors may overlap categories.

Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
Lt. Colonel Victor Fehrenbach in an MSNBC interview.
On September 20, 2011, the U.S. military policy that prohibited the service of openly gay men and women officially ended. In effect since 1993, Don't Ask, Don't Tell was responsible for curtailing the military careers of more than 14,000 American servicemembers and causing psychological damage to many more. The policy forced gay men and lesbians in the military to live in constant fear of exposure as they served under the threat of losing their jobs should their sexual orientation become known.
The cost to American taxpayers of discharging openly gay servicemembers under DADT is estimated at some half a billion dollars. But the cost to military effectiveness and governmental integrity was probably even more staggering.
As proponents of ending DADT pointed out, the ban promoted a hostile working environment, wasted crucial resources on unnecessary investigations, and forced many qualified service members to leave the military, depriving the military of many needed talents.
Moreover, by officially enforcing discrimination, the policy contradicted the democratic values the military is supposed to protect.
In addition, as Admiral Michael Mullen, former Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, observed, the policy forced members of the military to violate the honor code by lying: "I cannot escape being troubled by the fact that we have in place a policy which forces young men and women to lie about who they are in order to defend their fellow citizens," he said in 2010, adding, "For me, personally, it comes down to integrity--theirs as individuals, ours as an institution."
The struggle to end the odious policy has been a long one. Crucial to its success have been organizations such as the Palm Center and Servicemembers Legal Defense Fund; military activists such as Colonel Margarethe Cammermeyer, Lieutenant Dan Choi, Captain Jim Pietrangelo, Captain Tanya Domi, Captain Mike Almy, Sergeant Justin Elzie, Major Margaret Witt, Lt. Colonel Victor Fehrenbach, and Servicemembers United Executive Director Alexander Nicholson, among many others; as well as such politicians as Representative Patrick Murphy and Senators Joseph Lieberman and Carl Levin.
Log Cabin Republicans deserves special credit for pressing on with its lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the policy. The ruling by Judge Virginia Phillips in Log Cabin Republicans v. U.S.A. placed significant pressure on the military to end the policy at a pivotal moment.
The strange history of Don't Ask, Don't Tell is told in a documentary by veteran filmmakers Fenton Bailey and Rocky Barbato, which debuts on HBO on Tuesday.
In the clip below, MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts interviews Lt. Colonel Fehrenbach and Fenton Bailey about the documentary and the end of DADT:

Luis Suarez rejoined Uruguay's World Cup preparations on Monday, 11 days after knee cartilage surgery threatened to dash the striker's hopes of playing at the Brazil finals. Suarez, injured in Liverpool's last match of his and their brilliant season in the Premier League, had keyhole surgery on damage to the outer meniscus in his left knee but was included in Uruguay's tournament squad at the weekend.
"He's doing muscle work and treadmill, he's walking without pain," team doctor Alberto Pan told a news conference.
Suarez remains doubtful for Uruguay's opening Group D match against Costa Rica in Fortaleza on June 14 but they hope he will be fit to face England in Sao Paulo on June 19 and Italy in Natal on June 24.

This lovely cabin in a private setting is spacious yet has a warm rustic feeling. Built in the 1940s, it has a stone fireplace, maple hardwood floors, pine walls, a cathedral ceiling in the living room with a cozy sleeping loft on the mezzanine, plus two bedrooms on the main level with queen beds. There is a separate dining room that seats 6 and a breakfast room off of the kitchen. The wraparound porch has chairs and a large round table for dining or just sipping coffee.It is surrounded by a very large open lawn with mature trees and looks out at a riding stables. You can sit on the large wraparound porch or walk over to the stables and take a trail ride or riding lesson in the large indoor arena. Pony rides are also available for children. The beach is a short walk, or drive for 1 minute, park in our private spot, and walk around the corner to the beach.
The decor has been thoughtfully created by a Chicago designer and builder to be unique yet comfortable.
This home has a new 95% efficiency furnace and central air, newer appliances and is very well maintained. Pets are welcome. Email for details.
The surroundings : This home sits on a large lot and is surrounded by trees. You can see the riding stables across from the private drive. Guests can take trail rides, children can have pony rides, or just visit and bring them carrots. They are very people friendly. The beach is a short walk from the cabin, and we provide private pkg around the corner from the stairs to the water if you choose to drive for the two minutes it takes to get there.
Restaurants and shopping: There is a very nice grocery store down highway 12, which takes all of 10 minutes to get to by car. If you drive another 5 minutes, you will arrive at Light House Mall, a very large discount mall with national retailers. You can also shop and dine in New Buffalo, Michigan, which is 10 minutes in the other direction on highway 12. There are boutiques and Chicago quality restaurants in town and further up along 12, or you can head into the quaint restored town of Three Oaks to see theater, art galleries, shop, or dine.
My husband and I had stayed the previous year in the fall, so knowing how great it was, my friends and I booked this cabin during the summer for a girl's weekend. We cooked our own meals as well as went out to close by towns, such a Michigan City. We spent a few days at the beach; which someone had asked me if a picture I showed them was from Florida! The beach was beautiful though the water was slightly colder since it is on the lake. We also took a full day in Chicago since it is only an hour's drive. Price was great, cabin was clean and it was only a five hour drive from where we live. Overall a wonderful and fun experience!
We stayed through the week of Thanksgiving. We enjoyed this cabin, because it is just that a cabin. Relaxing, a fireplace insert wood stove, we used it with the door open so that we could hear the wood crackle. We asked to stay an additional night, Claudia was accommodating, thank you for that Claudia. If you are looking to relax, this is the place. All the amenities of home, better than booking a hotel for that long. A place to do your laundry, watch TV at the end of the day or just enjoy the fire.
We had perfect fall weather the weekend we stayed, with the trees at peak color. The cabin is lovely, charming and comfortable. Our boys (5 and 2 1/2) loved running to the porch each morning to see the horses in the paddock, just steps from the cabin. The parking spot for the beach was very easy to find, beach access very convenient. The kids enjoyed roasting hot dogs in the fire pit, we adults enjoyed long evenings with a big fire in the wood stove. Stop 50 Pizza delicious as usual. Took the kids to Boo at the Zoo, which they loved, we went trail riding at the stables, and took a trip over to La Porte to the Hesston Steam Train Museum for a "Ghost Train" ride. The Galien River walk was gorgeous with all the fall foliage, kids loved collecting acorns. The cabin is very well maintained with lots of attention to the small details. It DOES have a great shower as another guest pointed out. Very peaceful and secluded, but also with very easy access to just about everything the area has to offer. The only bummer is that the kids didn't really want to leave, and our 2 1/2 year old seems to think it's "our" cabin. I think he's making plans to return…we will definitely be back. Thank you Claudia, for your hospitality.
Cabin was very clean and well maintained. We loved seeing
the horses and feeding them carrots. Great walks with our
dogs on the back roads. Manager provided great details and
info about the rental. Enjoyed great restaurants, wine tasting
and the beautiful fall colors.
We were so pleased with our stay. The cottage has just the right amount of old charm, the decor is very pretty. It was so nice to have parking a block away from the beach. Close to town yet we felt really "away from it all". It was fun to watch the horses at the stable. Thanks for welcoming us and our dog, Roscoe. I think he had more fun than we did!! We will be back!
This was our second stay and we look forward to the next one. This Cozy cabin is an amazing retreat. Just a short jaunt from Chicago and you are in a calm and tranquil setting.
First, you wake up and enjoy your coffee while watching wild deer graze in the back yard, eat lunch on the porch that overlooks the serene horse farm, spend the afternoon playing on an amazing beach (just a short drive away), and then enjoy your evening dining and drinking wine at the fire-oven pizzeria just a short walk down the street.
This cabin is just great. Clean amenities, secluded, quiet, a nicely stocked kitchen which makes cooking and food preparation a pleasure. The cabin comes with WIFI and TV (if you want), but we recommend you unplug both and take advantage of reconnecting with family, enjoying the natural surroundings, and enjoying the blessing of being away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
There is plenty to keep young ones entertained as well - Northern Indiana has many treasures to discover that are short drives from the cabin. Train museums, Old mills, Parks, old lighthouses, fun restaurants, and eclectic ice cream shops (just to list a few our 6 and 3 year old's enjoyed).
After unwinding for a week vacation at this cabin, we think you will leave with a smile, tell all your friends about the wonderful time you had, and look forward anxiously to your next opportunity.
This cabin is on the grounds of a riding stable and a short walk to the beach on Lake Michigan. Close to shopping and great restaurants, parks, etc.
Other Activities: mini golf, boating, shopping
Ski: There is a 4.5 mile trail for cross country skiing, or head to our 40 acre meadow just down the road.
