Self-taught street crew Antics have made the grand final of Sky1's Got To Dance, despite being down a member for their semi-final performance!
The Birmingham lads had to tweak their choreography after Matthew Grieh broke his jaw in three places. But they pulled it off, with a cheeky routine that included a parody of Beyoncé's 'Sweet Dreams' video!
Judge Ashley Banjo said: "You are so inventive, nothing is generic, no generic flips. You've carved a really strong identity with two performances."

Well, it is
. Our economy is on the floor for ever and we risk getting kicked out of the euro. I wouldn't count on any significant sponsorship for a Dakar team.
I don't give much about national pride, but the point about nationality is a big one. If you are lucky enough to have a passport from a strong economic power I guess it makes it easier to find a sponsorship. If you're portuguese you represent a bankrupt economy of 10 million people, period. The fact that pilots like Ruben Faria, Helder Rodrigues and Paulo Gonçalves manage to find means to consistently place in the top 10 of Dakar speaks volumes about their value as pilots and about their determination.

Following this thread was an epic challenge for me this year. I was offline during the day and read every post every evening, starting usually more than 100 pages behind! I missed being able to follow the stages live, the best I could manage was a peek at Mischa's monitor on the iphone at lunch time (thank you thank you thank you, Mischa!). But I had a lot of fun reading everything later on, imagining the excitment live. Lots of great humour on the thread, thank you everyone for your contributions on that front as well as on the great info presented. It is great to share this passion with people from everywhere around the globe! I'll see you around at the Bivouac!

Democrats hold art sale fundraiser
Mark Anderson
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
The Hillsborough County Democratic Party hosted a fund raising event yesterday in Tampaâs Channel District. The event was an art sale, open to all interested residents, co-sponsored by U.S. Congressman Cathy Castor and City Council Member Mary Mulhearn.
Around 300 bay area democratic supporters were in attendance at the âArt of Politicsâ art sale. This was the first party event since Sen. Hillary Clinton suspended her campaign and announced her commitment to the campaign of Sen. Barack Obama. The group of party donors seemed quite unified in their support of the Obama campaign.
The party is now focusing on the November general election. Two principal issues were on the minds of elected official and party donors in attendance: Party unity and articulating the differences between Obama and John McCain.
U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor expressed confidence that the Clinton and Obama campaigns will rapidly coalesce.
There was broad agreement that Clinton will play a critical role in helping Democrats reclaim the White House in November.
As the Party transitions from the primaries to the general election, Democrats vowed to focus on clearly stating Party platform and how they differ from the Republicans' views.comments powered by Disqus

Day Trading
A well-defined strategy is essential in day trading. Without a specific system,
traders cannot be efficient in making profit. The strategy has to specify when
to get in and when to get out of a position. Every step that a trader must
take has to be spelled out because generalities in day trading are a disaster
waiting to happen.
The complete trading strategy involves the following three steps:
1. Entry and Exit Signal
2. Stop Loss Placement
3.Smart Money Managament
The strategy also
includes the following:
Always trade with the trend;
Cut losses short;
Never get emotionally involved with your trades.
Not all stock suits
Day trading. A day trader should never trade unlisted or thinly
traded (low volume) stocks. Some trade may make it hard for
you to exit your position quickly at a fair price. Trade only
high volume, well-known stocks.
The following are
the major Day Trading mistakes which if not avoided will lead
to failure in your trading:
1. Lack of a Trading Plan:
Many Day Traders start their trading without proper
plan. It is therefore essential to make out a complete plan befor entering into
trade. This includes the number of shares you will buy and at what price, the
price at which you will sell the shares (if they go up) and the price at which
you will sell the shares (if they go down) to cut your losses. You should also
decide, as part of your plan, how long you will hold the shares if the price
fails to move at all, and at what price you may want to add to or reduce your
position. After developing a plan stick on it and do not change as a result of
your emotions. Discipline is a vital key in Day Trading.
2. Failure to Control Emotions:
You should allow your emotions to control your trading
decisions to become a successful day trader. The most destructive emotions leading
to poor trading decisions are greed, fear and pride.
3.Failure to Accept and Limit Losses:
Another major contributing reason to day trading failure, is the reluctance of
many traders to exit from a losing position. Many traders hold on to losing positions
for far too long, in the hope that the share price will recover. Even worse is
the practice of adding to a losing position
so as to "average down". It is essential to limit (and accept) losses
in advance, in accordance with your trading plan, by pre-determining your exit
point if the stock price moves against you. Stop-loss orders provide a convenient
method of doing this.
4.Lack of Commitment :
Day traders who are unwilling to make a serious commitment
of time and effort to study and monitor the markets, engage in training and education
so as to enable them to learn about technical analysis, new trading systems and
methods, order routing software, etc., will almost always fail.
Many traders feel the need to hold positions in the
market at all times on every trading day. There are many occasions, however,
where it is best to stand aside and avoid holding any position in the markets
at all. Always conserve your trading capital for those trading days offering
good trading opportunities. It is better to avoid holding positions in too many
stocks at one time, as this complicates your trading plan and increases transaction
This is one of the most important personality trait of good Day trader. You won't
succeed at day trading unless you have a high measure of confidence in yourself.
Lack of self-confidence will result in doubt, indecision and second-guessing
which, in turn, will lead to missed trading opportunities and frequent losses.
You must believe in yourself to be a Day Trader.
In order to day trade successfully, you must develop a trading plan and consistently
stick to it. You must avoid changing your mind after decision has been
taken. Get out of the market when you have reached your objective and do
not let emotions like fear and greed influence your trading decisions.
Traders who are in the habit of being tentative or indecisive will never become
Most successful day traders have a true love or passion about their trading
activities. You should enjoy reading charts, dealing with numbers, reading
market news, interpreting quote screens, learning new trading strategies and
working independently in a fast-paced environment.
to Accept Failure:
In Day trading sometimes the trade will meet failures. So, for that they shouldn't
lose their confidence and they won't blame someone else for that lose. They
try to learn from the mistakes and move on to the next trade.
to Accept Risk:
You have to feel comfortable for the risk and should be prepared to lose money
sometimes. You shouldn't get afraid of the risk.
Good traders do not rush into trades. They take the time to select good trading
opportunities and do not place orders simply for the sake of holding a
position in the markets at all times. On some market days, where few good
trading opportunities exist, they are content to simply stand aside and
In day trading, a great deal of real-time information has to be absorbed, analyzed
and acted upon in intense bursts throughout the trading day. This requires
a great deal of concentration and stamina on the part of the trader, and
the ability to avoid distractions. Lack of concentration in Day trading
can doom a trader to failure.

CabanaCopa HostelRio de Janeiro, Brazil
The hostel was definitely a good place to meet young travelers, and in a perfect location. Other than a staff member named Leandro, the rest of the staff was not overly friendly or would not go out of their way to help. The place nickel and dimed for locks, towels, and DOESN'T let you use your Credit Card if under R$150 - a good thing to know before hand to know how much cash to bring. Breakfast isn't fantastic, but it does the job. Not 100%, but a good hostel nonetheless.

This is the perfect hostel if you are planning on going to see the Cataratas! It is no more than a 15 minute walk from the property, and the place is absolutely beautiful. The staff are extremely friendly and laid back, speak multiple languages, and will help you with anything. The whole facility is really nice, especially the bar that only closes "once everyone goes to sleep". The rooms are a perfect size, and every morning you get a top notch breakfast. Definitely exceeded my expectations!

By STEVEN NALLEY
Mississippi State University representatives confirmed that Noel Polk, a renowned literary scholar, journal editor and professor emeritus in MSU's English department, died Tuesday.
Polk was known around the world for his studies of William Faulkner, Eudora Welty and other Southern authors. During his career, he wrote more than 25 published books, taught at both MSU and the University of Southern Mississippi and served as editor for journals at both universities. He was 69.
Rich Raymond, head of the MSU Department of English, said Polk was not only an asset to MSU, but also to the community. He said he will dearly miss his colleague and friend.
"The last time I saw Noel was in November before I traveled to Kosovo. I was in Europe for six months. Noel wanted to have dinner with my wife and I," Raymond said. "I didn't know then that it would be the last time I saw him. While in Kosovo, I found myself praying for his recovery. We've all been grieving."
Born in Picayune in 1943, Polk earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from Mississippi College before earning his Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina.
Nancy Hargrove, a professor emeritus and lecturer in MSU's Shackouls Honors College, said she has known Polk since attending school with him in South Carolina.
"We actually retired the very same summer, just a few months apart," Hargrove said. "He was a very humorous person who had a wonderful, dry wit and a great sense of humor. He was a terrific Faulkner and Welty scholar and a brilliant person. As a colleague, he always did his part and more. He was really a perfect person."
Polk spent 27 years as an English professor at USM and editor of "The Southern Quarterly," a USM-published arts journal. Raymond said Polk then joined the MSU Department of English in fall 2004. Polk also became editor of MSU's own scholarly journal, "Mississippi Quarterly," maintaining the position after retiring from teaching.
"To get someone like Noel was absolutely amazing," Raymond said. "I was amazed at how widely known he is around the world."
In the summer before Polk came to MSU, he was the featured speaker at an international conference on William Faulkner sponsored by the Japanese William Faulkner Society in Tokyo. He was also named a Fulbright Senior Scholar at the University of Lodz, Poland in 2005, lecturing for five weeks on the works of Faulkner and Eudora Welty.
"He's lectured in many countries all over Europe and Asia, but he was very generous with his time here locally, including his time with Starkville Reads," Raymond said. "A lot of eminent scholars like that are not available for local folks, but that was not the case with Noel. He was a kind, unassuming man who didn't have an arrogant bone in his body. He was simply a great man."
Polk was a founder of the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters and a member of Starkville Reads' board together with Hargrove. She said Polk loved Starkville Reads, bringing in several different presenters.
"He was very much involved in the everyday life of his community and state," Hargrove said. "He always had something to say, and he wasn't a person who backed down from his beliefs. He was not afraid to take a stand for what was right and what he believed in, even if he knew it wasn't a popular stand to take. He had a lot of people who admired him for those qualities."
In 2006, Polk won the Richard Wright Literary Excellence Award for his body of work. Welty herself was a past Wright honoree, along with Willie Morris, John Grisham, Margaret Walker Alexander, Shelby Foote and retired MSU history professor John Marszalek.
Polk was also a co-editor of a recent Folio Society edition of Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury." Released in summer 2012, this limited edition uses color-coded text to track the book's shifts in time, a feature Faulkner wanted to implement in the book's original edition but could not due to publishing technology limitations.
Polk's published books include "Children of the Dark House: Text and Context in Faulkner" (1996), "Eudora Welty: A Bibliography of Her Work" (1993), "Outside the Southern Myth" (1997) and "Walking Safari or, The Hippo Highway and Other Poems" (2012), the last of which won the 2011 Texas Review Press's Southern Poetry Breakthrough Series: Mississippi.

Long Story Short
Bad boy acts badly, then gets punished.
Who's Who?
The Commendatore is a retired old army general.
Donna Anna, the Commendatore's daughter, is a proud, beautiful noblewoman who has problems with men.
Don Ottavio is Donna Anna's fiancé. He's great at doubting, dreaming, and hesitating, but not much for taking decisive action.
Don Giovanni is a wealthy nobleman who adores women and their bodies but has little interest in human relationships. He is handsome, charming, bold, clever, fearless, and incredibly sexy; and at the same time he's a brute, a liar, and a killer.
Donna Elvira is a noblewoman of staunch religiosity whose love for God is only surpassed by her mad passion for Don Giovanni. Before the opera begins, he promised to marry her, slept with her, and then left town; so in the opera she pursues him with single-minded fury, hoping to get him to return to her, or, failing that, to spoil his attempts to be with any other women.
Zerlina is an attractive peasant girl who catches Don Giovanni's eye. She is a lot more practical about sex and emotions than Donna Anna or Donna Elvira, and is probably a bit happier than either of them as a result.
Masetto is a big, dumb peasant guy who wants to marry Zerlina.
Leporello is Don Giovanni's servant. A whiner, coward, and buffoon, Leporello is continually bullied and abused by Giovanni—yet he never leaves the master he loves and hates. He says he disapproves of the way Giovanni treats women, but he obviously admires and respects Giovanni as well.
Where and When?
Technically Seville, in the seventeenth or eighteenth centuries; but really Don Giovanni is a myth that takes place at all times and places.
What's Going On?
The subtitle of this opera tells you just about everything you need to know: Il dissoluto punito (The Dissolute Man Punished). There's this guy, Don Giovanni, who's dissolute, and he gets punished.
More specifically, the opera chronicles the final twenty-four hours of this notorious libertine's wicked life. It begins in the middle of the night, as he is trying to escape from Donna Anna's bedroom after either seducing or raping her (or attempting to do one of the above; the bedroom is offstage, so no one really knows what happened in there). Anna's father, the Commendatore, challenges Don Giovanni to a duel, and Giovanni kills him. Anna forces her fiancé Don Ottavio to swear an oath that he will avenge the murdered Commendatore.
That afternoon, Giovanni is attempting to escape from the clingy Donna Elvira, who thinks she's married to him, when he stumbles upon the wedding of Zerlina and Masetto. He invites them and their friends to a feast at his palace, that evening, where he attempts to rape Zerlina. Ottavio, Anna, and Elvira, who have joined the party wearing masks, protect her and confront Giovanni; but he manages to give them all the slip.
Giovanni continues playing pranks on people all night long, until he and Leporello happen upon the statue of the Commendatore out in the cemetery. Audaciously Giovanni invites the statue to join him for a very late dinner, and the statue says it will come. At dinner the statue offers Giovanni a last chance to repent. He refuses, and gets dragged down to hell. All the other characters rejoice at Giovanni's fitting punishment.

Loss of Pregnancy and Divorce
A new study from the University of Michigan Medical School provides interesting statistical evidence of the increased risk of divorce after a pregnancy loss:
The grief from the loss can strain even the best of relationships, and a new study from the University of Michigan Medical School has found that couples who experience miscarriage are 22% more likely to break up.
Those that experience stillbirth are at an even greater risk – couples were 40% more likely to divorce or separate after the tragedy.
Miscarriage is defined as a pregnancy loss before 20 weeks of gestation, and stillbirth is a loss of a fetus after this time.
Dr. Katherine Gold, assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at U-M, and colleagues published their findings in the May issue of the journal Pediatrics. After following 7,700 pregnant couples for 15 years, they found that most couples who ended up in divorce after pregnancy loss did so after about one-and-a-half to three years after the event; however the risk seemed to remain elevated even up to a decade later, particularly in parents that had lost a child due to stillbirth.

Lawyerless Divorces...
...might sound good to many. According to Catherine Jun of the Detroit News:
Breaking up is hard to do — especially in a recession.
With depressed home values and a dicey job market, divorces in Metro Detroit are down, as unhappy couples ride out the financial storm, the theory goes.
But of those who do file for divorce, more are financially strapped and duking it out without attorneys, according to courts. These do-it-yourself divorces are crowding legal aid offices and court dockets and slowing proceedings with incomplete paperwork and tutorials judges must deliver from the bench. And as more couples represent themselves, many are losing out on property and custody claims that are legally theirs, judges and attorneys say.

Marrying Young as the #1 Predictor of Divorce?
The Wall Street Journal recently ran a piece on "early marriage," which some interesting statistics about divorce rates:
First, let's take a closer look at that term "early marriage." While it's true that teenage marriages are a significant predictor of divorce, it turns out that marriages of people in their early to mid-20s are not nearly as much at risk. According to a 2002 report from the Centers for Disease Control, 48% of people who enter marriage when under age 18, and 40% of 18- and 19-year-olds, will eventually divorce. But only 29% of those who get married at age 20 to 24 will eventually divorce—very similar to the 24% of the 25-and-older cohort. In fact, Hispanics who marry between the ages of 20 and 24 actually have a greater likelihood of marital success (31% chance of divorce) than those who first marry at age 25 and older (36% chance of divorce).
Further, a recent study by family scholars at the University of Texas finds that people who wed between the ages of 22 and 25, and remained married to those spouses, went on to experience the happiest marriages. While the authors caution against suggesting that 22 to 25 is the optimal marrying age for everyone, their finding does suggest that "little or nothing is likely to be gained by deliberately delaying marriage beyond the mid twenties."

Sexless Year as Grounds for Divorce?
A Maryland lawmaker is backing legislation that would allow couples who have lived together but have not had sex for a year to skirt the state's one-year waiting period for no-fault divorce. Yes, you read that correctly. I thought it was a joke too until I read the bill.
Simmons said it would ease the initial financial burden for couples -- especially those with children -- because they could remain in the same house during the year-long waiting period.
Read the bill here, more news coverage here, or humorous blog commentary on this "hump or dump" legislation here.

Norwegian Study Shows No Significant Correlation Between Divorce Rate and Parenting a Child with Cancer
Using data on nearly 978,000 married couples in Norway, researchers found that divorce rates between 1974 and 2001 were no higher among couples with a child suffering from cancer compared with other parents.
When other factors were considered, such as parents' age and family income, couples who had a child with cancer were 4 percent more likely to get divorced than other parents -- a difference that was not significant in statistical terms.
Few studies have looked at divorce among parents of children with cancer. But there is often a "general perception" -- whether at cancer clinics or in support groups -- that the strain of having a child or a spouse with cancer puts couples at risk of divorce, noted Dr. Astri Syse of the Cancer Registry of Norway in Oslo, the lead researcher on the new study.
These perceptions, she told Reuters Health in an email, are "unsubstantiated myths that may add another burden to the people afflicted by cancer or afflicted family members, and thus important to highlight as incorrect."
"In general, our study ought to reassure parents of children with cancer," Syse said.
She added, however, that the study was conducted in a country with an extensive welfare system that includes free healthcare, and that may shield couples from some of the economic hardships and other stresses that can affect families dealing with a child's cancer.
That, according to Syse, leaves the question of whether the findings extend to countries with different health and welfare systems, including the U.S.

Maravilla: "The other don't ask, don't tell: adultery under the Uniform Code of Military Justice after Lawrence v. Texas"
Christopher Maravilla has published "The other don't ask, don't tell: adultery under the Uniform Code of Military Justice after Lawrence v. Texas," 37 Cap. U. L. Rev. 659-680 (2009). Here is an excerpt:
The U.S. military has a long standing prohibition, punishable by court martial, against adultery committed by service members whether it is between service members of the same rank, different ranks, or with civilians. [FN1] While the armed forces are a unique body in terms of constitutional jurisprudence and not necessarily subject to the same protections as civilians (generally with regard to the First Amendment right to free speech), [FN2] this doctrine is not absolute. The Supreme Court's decision in Lawrence v. Texas opened the issue whether consensual sexual activity between two adults is protected under the Constitution, specifically in homosexual relationships. [FN3] The Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces in United States v. Marcum sidestepped the issue by finding that Lawrence did not apply to the specific facts in that case. [FN4] Subsequent military courts have misread Marcum in holding that Lawrence either: (1) is applied only on a case by case basis, [FN5] or (2) does not apply in the military context at all. [FN6]
Adultery covers a wide range of conduct from one night stands, relationships with a co-worker, to long-term romantic entanglements. [FN7] Adultery among members of the Armed Forces is considered common. [FN8] For example, condoms have been made available for both married and unmarried sailors going ashore. [FN9] There are no statistics available for the rate of adultery among members of the armed forces. There is, however, what is considered to be an informal amendment to the prohibition of adultery: "[D]o what you want, but don't do it blatantly and don't get caught." [FN10] In other words, the policy is another form of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." [FN11]
In interviews with soldiers stationed at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, the New York Times found one soldier who said, "But everyone is human. It's going to happen." [FN12] Another married soldier spent forty dollars to spend five minutes with a prostitute in a Mexican brothel. [FN13] To prosecute any one of these individuals for their conduct becomes almost arbitrary. Critics also argue that the military prosecutors' willingness to pursue charges against adulterers varies depending on the service and the commanders. [FN14] Lawrence J. Korb of the Brookings Institute also argues that these prosecutions when they do occur are more aimed at a member of the Armed Forces already in trouble for something else. [FN15] He likens it to "getting Al Capone on income tax evasion." [FN16]
However, as this article argues, Lawrence applies to the military, and the crime of adultery in and of itself should no longer be barred by the military because it serves to merely enforce a moral code. Rather, adultery between service members of different ranks should be brought under the *661 prohibition against fraternization. [FN17] While this article does not reach "Don't ask, Don't tell," many of the arguments presented resonate with that issue. This article will: (1) discuss the military's criminalization of adultery in light of Lawrence and Marcum, (2) argue that this prohibition serves only to enforce a moral code, and (3) that such prosecutions should be brought as fraternization, not adultery.
The abstract is also on SSRN.

Delaying Divorce During Recession
The Washington Times reports on the growing phenomenon of decisions to delay divorce until the recession ends.
In the reality of this recession, even couples who both want a divorce can get stuck in a dead marriage.
Take Sheryl Schelin of Myrtle Beach, S.C. She and her estranged husband wanted to get a divorce two years ago but because of financially tough times that included job loss, they couldn't afford to maintain separate residences — a prerequisite to file for divorce in that state, she says.
So, Ms. Schelin now lives with the couple's 10-year-old daughter and her estranged husband lives with his new girlfriend and neither can completely move on emotionally.
"It's totally draining," she says, adding it feels like she's in limbo, neither going backward or forward. "I want my maiden name back, but that's not going to happen until the divorce goes through."
Which will be next summer at the earliest, she says.
So, in the end, can anything good come out of this temporary drop in divorce rates? A permanent reduction, perhaps?

New York Court Rejects "Social Abandonment" as Ground for Divorce
A New York court of appeals has rejected a wife's claim for divorce on grounds of "constructive abandonment" on grounds that "the husband refused to engage in social interaction with the wife by refusing to celebrate with her or acknowledge Valentine's Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and the wife's birthday, by refusing to eat meals together, by refusing to attend family functions or accompany the wife to movies, shopping, restaurants, and church services, by leaving her once at a hospital emergency room, by removing the wife's belongings from the marital bedroom, and by otherwise ignoring her." Such "social abandonment," the court held, does not rise to the level of constructive abandonment, which New York courts have held requires constant refusal to engage in sexual relations despite repeated requests.
The opinion details the history of constructive abandonment, and is a very interesting read. See it in full here.

No Legislative Revival of Causes of Action in Illinois
The Illinois Supreme Court has determined that the legislature cannot amend a statute of limitations so as to revive causes of action that had expired under a previous version of the legislature. This will no doubt impede the litigation of childhood sexual abuse claims, as it has in this particular case.

Kraft: Empirical Study of "Effect of Labor Division between Wife and Husband on the Risk of Divorce: Evidence from German Data"
Kornelius Kraft (University of Dortmund, Department of Economics) and Stefanie Neimann have posted "Effect of Labor Division between Wife and Husband on the Risk of Divorce: Evidence from German Data" on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
Using German panel data from 1984 to 2007, we analyze the impact of labor division between husband and wife on the risk of divorce. Gary Becker's theory of marriage predicts that specialization in domestic and market work, respectively, reduces the risk of separation. Traditionally, the breadwinner role is assigned to the husband, however, female labor force participation and their wages have risen substantially. Our results suggest that there are gender-specific differences, e.g. female breadwinner-couples have a substantially higher risk of divorce than male breadwinner-couples. In contrast, the equal division does not significantly alter the probability of separation.

Divorce After a Cancer Diagnosis
New research suggests that women receiving a diagnosis of a life-threatening illness are six times more likely to become divorced than their male counterparts receiving the same news.
The study included diagnoses of both cancer and multiple sclerosis and found an overall divorce rate of nearly 12 percent, which is similar to that found in the normal population.
But when the researchers looked at gender differences, they found the rate was nearly 21 percent when women were the patients compared with about 3 percent when men got the life-threatening diagnosis.

She may walk in beauty, like the night…but don't text it
Technology is no stranger to alternative forms of procreation, see here and here, but now neither is it a stranger in the courtroom. Although this stranger is not tall, dark, and handsome, it is landing people in hot water nonetheless. Family lawyers are now using incriminating phone text messages as evidence of marital infidelity or bad parenting to achieve favorable settlement or court outcomes, instead of hiring private investigators or decoys.

Fun for your Monday morning - Will California Soon Ban Divorce?
The Los Angeles Times reports on a proposed constitutional amendment to ban divorce.
California Secretary of State Debra Bowen today authorized the backer of an initiative that would ban divorce to begin collecting signatures to put the proposed constitutional amendment before voters.
John Marcotte now has until March 22, 2010, to collect 694,354 signatures of registered voters in order to get the measure on the ballot next year. The proposal would change the California Constitution to "eliminate the ability of married couples to get divorced in California."
Couples could still get their marriages annulled under the proposal.

The Dallas Morning News reported yesterday a case in which a son is seeking a guardianship for his 87-year-old father and to bring a divorce action on his behalf. The news report provides plenty of details on the facts of the case and would make a fine case study of divorce dynamics on its own, but it is especially useful for calling student attention to the increasing intersections of elder law and divorce law.
For a summary of the specific legal issues raised by this case, see the comment by UMKC Law Student Diane Snow Mills, "But I Love What's-His-Name": Inherent Dangers in the Changing Role of the Guardian in Divorce Actions on Behalf of Incompetents, 16 J. Am. Acad. Matrimonial Law. 527 (2000). That article reviews the state laws on the issue and notes that, at the time of the article, only eight states had statutes or rules which specifically provided for divorce actions brought by the guardian of an incompetent ward. In the remainder of the states, "the overwhelming majority of jurisdictions with no express statutory authority had held that the decision of whether or not to bring a dissolution action was such a highly personal one and could not be made by anyone other than the aggrieved spouse." The article does note a minority trend in the states to increasingly allow these actions and reviews the legal issues.
Recent cases on the subject have reflected this increasing willingness to allow these actions. In August of this year, the Ohio Court of Appeals held that a guardian could bring a divorce action on behalf of an incompetent ward. The court distinguished prior precedent that had prohibited such actions on the basis that those cases predated the adoption of the current Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure, which allow guardians "to sue or defend" on behalf of a ward. Broach v. Broach, 177 Ohio App.3d 664, 2008-Ohio-4132. (opinion online) Likewise, last month the New Hampshire Supreme Court issued a decision in a case raising a related issue: whether a guardian could continue an action for divorce that a husband had brought before he became incapacitated by stroke. While the court noted that the majority rule continues to be that guardians may not initiate divorces on behalf of their incompetent wards, the case before it was exceptional in that the intent of the ward was clear given his action of bringing the divorce petition before he had become incapacitated.

Why People Divorce
A commissioned poll by an online divorce site (Divorce360.com) examines the reasons people divorce. The number one reason people gave for divorce is abuse. More than one in three (36%) divorced Americans cited either verbal or physical abuse as the main cause of divorce. Money, at 22%, is a distant second. Women are more than twice as likely as men (48% vs. 21%) to divorce because of verbal or physical abuse. Men, in turn, are more than twice as likely as women (22% vs. 11%) to cite sex as the cause for their failed marriage.

Case Law Development: Divorce Courts may not Prohibit Oral Testimony
The California Supreme Court has invalidated a county court rule that required divorce trials be submitted on written declarations and prohibited oral testimony except in "unusual
circumstances." The rule also required parties to establish in their pretrial declarations the admissibility of all exhibits they sought to introduce at trial. A divorce litigant whose evidence was excluded because he had failed to establish its admissibility in the pretrial stage challenged both sets of rules.
The court acknowledged that local courts have rulemaking authority, however, "local courts may not create their own rules of evidence and procedure in conflict with statewide statutes." Avoiding the constitutional issues presented by the case, the court analyzed the statewide evidence and procedure statutes, the caselaw concerning hearsay admissibility, and the history of trial procedure in the state, concluding that the local rule conflicted with these statewide evidence rules regarding hearsay.
The Supreme Court acknowledged that the local rules were designed in response to increasing case loads and limited judicial resources. However, on balance, that did not justify the violation of basic trial procedures.
That a procedure is efficient and moves cases through the system is admirable, but even more important is for the courts to provide fair and accessible justice. In the absence of a legislative decision to create a system by which a judgment may be rendered in a contested marital dissolution case without a trial conducted pursuant to the usual rules of evidence, we do not view respondent's curtailment of the rights of family law litigants as justified by the goal of efficiency. ... While the speedy disposition of cases is desirable, speed is not always compatible with justice. Actually, in its use of courtroom time the present judicial process seems to have its priorities confused. Domestic relations litigation, one of the most important and sensitive tasks a judge faces, too often is given the low-man-on-thetotem-pole treatment."
Regarding the court's sanction of excluding evidence for failure to establish admissibility in pretrial proceedings, the court concluded that "The trial court abused its discretion ... by excluding the bulk of his evidence simply because he failed, prior to trial, to file a declaration establishing the admissibility of his trial evidence.... The sanction was disproportionate and inconsistent with the policy favoring determination of cases on their merits."

Family History, Not Genes, Predicts Divorce
Forbes magazine reports on an Australian twin study indicating that family history is more predictive of divorce than genetic history. "Adults whose own parents had split had nearly twice the risk of going through a divorce themselves, the researchers found. But there is no "gene" for divorce, so to speak, said lead researcher Robert M. D'Onofrio, an Indiana University psychologist. "Genetic factors that influence both generations do not [significantly] account for that increased risk," he said. The findings are published in the August issue of the Journal of Marriage and Family."

Divorce Rate Lowest Since 1970
The New York Times reports that the national per capita divorce rate has declined steadily since its peak in 1981 and is now at its lowest level since 1970. The article points out that experts disagree asto the cause. Some experts say relationships are as unstable as ever -- and divorces are down primarily because more couples live together without marrying. Other researchers have documented what they call ''the divorce divide,'' contending that divorce rates are indeed falling substantively among college-educated couples but not among less-affluent, less-educated couples.

A note on sending me queries
I'm getting an awful lot of queries from folks who start off by saying something along the lines of "I'm an avid reader of your blog..." These query writers then go on to demonstrate that they haven't actually read the most important part of my blog: my submission guidelines. And in every other place online where you may find my name listed as literary agent, you'll also find those very same submission guidelines posted, submission guidelines that ask for the first five or six pages of your manuscript cut and pasted into the body of your email query.
I ask for the first few pages of your manuscript for a really good reason: I want to see a sample of your writing. When you send me a query that doesn't include a sample of your writing, you're wasting my time and doing yourself a great disservice.
It doesn't matter which agent you decide to query; you should always take the time to research that agent's submission guidelines first.
We all have a limited amount of time that we can spend on each query letter; make that time count for something when we're reading yours, okay?

I've got a semi-related question I've been meaning to ask you for a while: what do we (ie, your clients) do if we have someone we want to send your way? I've got a couple of friends I want to point in your direction when they're ready. Do you want a heads-up ahead of time? Should they just say, "XX sent me," in the query? Would you prefer that clients not send friends to you in order to avoid potential drama? Inquiring minds want to know!

I made the mistake of sending my query when you were having e-mail problems, and I have a suspicion that cyberspace swallowed it up.
This is a good thing since your post on Kelly Gay's query allowed me to see where I could make improvements.
I know how hard you work, and I don't want to overburden you with double submissions. However, if my query really is lost, would it be alright to do a resend?
Thank you for your time.

hi Colleen-- i have a question about manuscript formatting. I've heard/read different opinions regarding italics used in manuscripts. Do you prefer words to be underlined or in italics? I really want to make sure that my manuscript is perfect, but I keep hearing different suggestions about italics/underlining, that I feel lost. I'd appreciate your answer. Thank you!
- August 20, 2008 at 11:00 AM

Brown Trash Punk -
I don't mind italics if kept to a minimum. Most agents are not going to want heavy formatting. If a point of dialogue needs italics, you can underline it; that's generally the accepted way.
I do get a lot of queries that are filled with different colors, bold, italics. It's maddening. And since I load all of these onto an electronic reader, much of the formatting is stripped away anyway.

Equine Body Worker Certification
- Jul 28 - Aug 05
- Location: Petaluma, CA, USA
Petaluma, CA with Debranne Pattillo, MEEBW with Cyndi Saling, EEBWII. The Equinology® Approach was developed by Debranne Pattillo, MEEBW, founder of Equinology Inc. and co-founder of the International Equine Body Worker Association. She has used this approach successfully for her own client base for over 25 years, and has shared it with thousands of students, many of them already equine professionals, all over the world. This unique hands-on system addresses the whole body, implementing specific manual palpation methods to assess soft tissue and symmetry of muscle and structure, and utilizing detailed static and dynamic evaluation to inform the practitioner. Different bodywork techniques — including sports massage, soft tissue mobilization, stretching, range of motion and positioning exercises, as well as "focal" point work (stress and trigger points) — are combined to provide optimal support for horses working in every discipline. Reflecting Debranne's passion for academic precision with regard to equine musculoskeletal anatomy, the Equinology® Approach stands out because it is comprehensively anatomically referenced. The Equinology® Approach continues to evolve from Debranne's extensive experience and ongoing learning from her colleagues and mentors — both human and equine.

Clinical Reasoning for Licensed Pros
- Aug 11 - Apr 14
- Location: Petaluma, CA, USA
Petaluma, CA. Dr. Kerry Ridgway, DVM presents this unique clinic which has been developed specifically for the advanced equine health care provider. This four day course focuses on the musculoskeletal system; a system often overlooked in the well being of the horse. Dr. Ridgway has had repeatable successful results using acupoints and advanced soft tissue mobilization techniques to investigate musculoskeletal issues on horses especially the performance horse. In this 4 day course, a portion of the course will focus on equine laterality, from the perspective of the treating veterinary clinician; the focus will be on the manifestations and pathology that the syndrome creates. Gait aberrations, muscle and myofascial patterns, tendonitis, desmitis, foot balance, saddle fit, degenerative joint disease, including facet joint pathology are all critical aspects of the "non-straightened" horse. The lectures will discuss therapies that best address the root causes of this condition. As always, Dr. Ridgway and his wife, Christine share insights and latest soft tissue techniques with the participants.

From the Playbill:
When I first saw a performance
of The Knight of the Burning Pestle back in university, I thought it was a complete hoot,
undoubtedly freely adapted by some of my peers in
the spirit of the 1960's. A 2003 production by Shenandoah
Shakespeare at the glorious Blackfriars Theatre in
Staunton, Virginia reminded me of this rarely produced
gem which, again, seemed highly contemporized. Upon
finding the script in a dusty tome of "Elizabethan
and Jacobean Plays," I was amazed to discover that
both productions I had seen were surprisingly true
to both the spirit and the words of the text.
Our production is true to the spirit of 17th Century
theatre in its use of contemporary popular songs
and locally referential in-jokes. The bulk of what
you will hear tonight was, however, actually written
during Shakespeare's lifetime. As you can see, it's
not dead yet.

Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info
|Director John Woo's Red Cliff is a big-budget ("the most expensive Asian film production of all time," says a press release) historical war epic set in China in the year 208 A.D. But Taro Iwashiro's score, performed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, suggests the influence of Hollywood (and European classical music) more than Chinese history. The orchestra is joined by Michiko Akao on solo Japanese transverse bamboo flute and Tan Jianping on ancient Chinese harp (plus MIDI programming by Hide Fukasawa), but right from the start, with "The Battle of Red Cliff," this is the music of the Hollywood epic, with engaging, uplifting themes played on massed strings. Iwashiro makes much of use of timpani to give things a martial air, but that seems not so much Chinese as military in flavor. He finally introduces a Chinese theme in "Shooooot!," one of the soundtrack album's shortest cues. And Chinese J-pop star alan gets a couple of gentle vocal performances toward the end. But for the most part, Iwashiro has composed a score that might have accompanied a Biblical epic in Cinerama in the 1950s or one of the space operas of the 1970s. Much of this score could have been composed by, say, Jerry Goldsmith or John Williams, implying that the language of film music, when it comes to movies made on a grand scale, has long since become universal.

El Poblenou
El Poblenou (Catalan pronunciation: [əɫ ˌpɔbːɫəˈnɔw], Catalan for new village) is an extensive neighborhood of Barcelona (Sant Martí district) that borders the Mediterranean sea to the south, Sant Adrià del Besòs to the east, Parc de la Ciutadella in Ciutat Vella to the west, and Horta-Guinardó and Sant Andreu to the north. It is technically part of the Eixample, its layout having been drafted by Ildefons Cerdà, although the historic center of the neighborhood (which was once a town entirely separated from Barcelona) predates the grid.
During the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century, Poblenou was the epicenter of Catalan and Iberian industry, earning it its sobriquet of the Catalonian Manchester. Surrounding the extensive cluster of factories stood mostly working class residential areas. After a period of decay, the neighborhood has undergone a dramatic transformation. Many of the areas that have been developed—including the Vila Olímpica, the Diagonal Mar area, and the Fòrum area—arguably comprise their own neighborhoods. Completing its original, unfinished plan, The Avinguda Diagonal now stretches from Plaça de les Glòries to the sea. The massive 22@ plan sets to convert Poblenou into the city's technological and innovation district, as well as to increase leisure and residential spaces.
Alongside the newly built, upscale Vila Olímpica and Diagonal Mar areas, many artists and young professionals have converted the former factories and warehouses into lofts, galleries, and shops. Art & Design schools and studios have also opened, making the area known for its creative outlook. The leafy Rambla de Poblenou, which stretches from Avinguda Diagonal to the beach, is the main commercial street.
Notable buildings of Poblenou include the Torre Agbar (Jean Nouvel), Herzog & de Meuron's Forum Building (which houses Europe's largest scale model of a city), and the ME Barcelona Hotel (former Habitat Sky Hotel) (Dominique Perrault). Major public spaces include the Parc de Diagonal Mar (Enric Miralles), the Plaça de les Glòries Catalanes, the Parc Central del Poblenou (Jean Nouvel), the beachfront Parc del Poblenou, the vast Parc del Forum, Oficines Diagonal 197 (David Chipperfield), the Media-Tic Building (Enric Ruiz Geli - CLOUD 9) (the historic Poblenou Cemetery as well as many kilometres of beaches.
In popular culture[edit]
The 1994 Catalan language TV3 soap opera Poblenou was chiefly set in this area of the city.
Public transport[edit]
