Dina Lohan Shocked By Lindsay's Jail Sentence
"This is so not fair to do this to my child," a flabbergasted Dina Lohan told PopEater exclusively shortly after Judge Marsha Revel made the announcement.
The 'Mean Girls' actress must begin serving her sentence on July 20, however she likely won't serve the entire 90 days. Many female inmates in Lohan's situation only serve about 25% of their sentence, meaning that the star will only spend about 23 days behind bars. Immediately after leaving jail, Lohan will spend another 90 days at an in-patient rehab facility.
Dina Lohan was not at the Beverly Hills courtroom for the hearing, but her ex-husband Michael was. While he declined to issue a comment following the sentencing (he saved his words for a 'Larry King Live' appearance), his spokeswoman baffled reporters when she urged Lohan to report to rehab immediately, apparently unaware the actress must first go to jail. When corrected by an onlooker, the unidentified rep said the rehab portion of the ruling was "a great victory" for the Lohan family.

Thank you! I agree with you 1 trillion times over. 'Not fair'? What's not fair is that she isn't getting a sentence like everyone else would. Non celebrity, you would get a long sentence for violating probation, and get told that you should know better. But if a celebrity does it, they get a short sentence, and basically told oh well you didn't do much harm anyways.

Well said. Her parents belong in jail with her.

I agree, her mother is so responsible for what happened to this "little girl lost". She was too busy living off her daughter's celebrity to be a mother.

"Not fair to my child?" Uh, is this her first offense? Has she been an angel the past 5 or so years? Grow up (like your daughter should) Mamma Lohan. Lidsay is an ADULT!!! 24. You are not defending an innocent 15 year old who messed up one time. She is a danger to herself and others and needs help. Obvioulsy you never cared for her when you were drinking with her and snorting up all her profits with her. I hope this does her some good. Doubt she'll serve the full sentence (like all other celeb's), but hope she learns something. I actually like Lindsay and hope she is set on the right path. Good luck and God bless!

Typical Hollywood soap opera! Give me a break, had it been any everyday average human we would have long since been incarcerated. Dina needs to do time as well as that tramp (no I don't like her) AND go through rehab as well. If not she will go right back to her old ways. Denial denial denial

Look at her hand in that picture. It is the hand of an addict. Poor skin quality, bad tats, old nail polish, discolored sickly nails. Get it together Lindsey. I don't know if she will last two weeks until she is locked up. She is going to run or die.

She needs this to dry out. Her mom is now worried because her meal ticket will be in the slammer for a while. Maybe this will make Lindsay she is not above the law, there are conquences for your actions, push and keep pushing the law and you will pay the price.

Not fair? When was the last time Dina pulled her head out of her a--, and took on the role of mother. If a non famous person had had the drug/alcohol/driving accidents as her daughter, they would have spent years in jail. She's still getting off easy.
- Tuesday 06 JulyBy Dee
Lindsay desperately needs a real mother. Unfortunately the court had to step in and take her place. Dina needs to start treating her daughter like her daughter and less like her ticket to fame and parties. It's so sad this kid is having to learn the hard way because no one gives a real damn about her.

Rehab cannot help anyone unless they want to be helped. She is still denying that she has a problem. Being Irish has nothing to do with it.
- Tuesday 06 JulyBy imawriter
Well Whatever. She still has 2 weeks to Over Dose on pills and booze! She Won't do the time needed to really turn herself around. She has some talent, but I doubt she will ever get back any respect she may have once had within her industry. Robert Downey Jr. did serious prison time, not just some secluded area within the LA county jail system.

Paul Phillips
Both are difficult for me to believe to me, but a popular faith is clearly less crazy than an unusual, socially-debilitating one.
Claiming group membership among the people you hold in respect by believing the same things they do seems pretty normal (not completely rational, but not insane either). Humans seem programmed to create and join exclusive tribes, and claiming to believe the impossible is one way to accomplish this.
Believing something popular and socially accepted/encouraged gets you something, at a very low cost in most cases. That's a cheap (even profitable, by some calculations) false belief. Believing something unpopular that restricts your life by keeping you from leaving the house or whatnot is an expensive false belief. Clearly, the more expensive false belief is crazier.
epistemologically, primary evidence is king.
socially, primary evidence is a chimney sweep.
I have no problem with that explanation, although it's most interesting to me for what it says about how we should adjust our estimations. Undoubtedly there is more reason to give credence to the personally risky, socially ostracizing belief. So though it may be "less crazy" to swim with the current, it's vastly less believable.
Separately, I find this explanation very incomplete because it only provides motivation for professing false belief, not for holding it.
Last point first: signaling false belief is difficult, so the motivation for holding a false belief which gives you a social benefit is that you'll better be able to profess it. This is especially true for "cheap" beliefs, which are those that are difficult to test and truth has little relevance to one's success.
For personal self-auditing purposes, you're exactly right: you should be more suspicious of your "easy" beliefs. Fortunately, the habit of testing your predictions serves well to check both popular and unpopular beliefs.
The opposite works too: don't give much weight to beliefs which don't make testable predictions. Those aren't beliefs, they're "just" societal value signals.
signaling false belief is difficult, so the motivation for holding a false belief which gives you a social benefit is that you'll better be able to profess it.
I had never thought of it in quite those terms, possibly because the underlying motivation is so alien. What a depressing thought it is, that the more unfalsifiable a belief, the fewer are the (direct) consequences to holding it - and that the instinctive mechanism for resolving the difficulty in signaling false belief is to eliminate the perception of "false" rather than the perception of "belief".
The indirect consequence we can all share together while we die choking on phlegm after some true believer unleashes his bioengineered plague with its 100% fatality rate. But hey, as long as people enjoy their church socials.
I've seen and participated in some weird things. I'm not sure what to think about them, even though I saw them in clear light just a few feet from me, or was in control and making things happen (In 2003 I attended a weekend workshop where one of the things taught was hypnosis where I hypnotized a cop from chicago).
I've also been to 'magic' shows. Magicians are professionals who specialize in making things look as they are not really. Hundreds of people watch a magician saw a woman in half or something, and no one calls the police. If someone did, they would be made to look like an idiot.
I also don't believe the details about anything I see in the news or anything I see published. Have you ever been interviewed for an article or read an article with an interview of someone you know to be very well versed in the subject they are talking about? It's not really wrong, but it's also not right and you can tell. When you write articles for a living you don't have time to gain the understanding of what you're writing about, so you put it together as well as you can. You can't get it right, because you just don't know and can't spare the time to learn it well enough to do it right, so it is done not too wrong and that is called good enough.
I am in fact well versed in what I write about. That's why I write about it. So, if you're statement is that journalism is dead, then you are correct.
Your question kind of changes between the first and second part. The first part is comparing a friend's experience to an experience I've been told happened once upon a time many years ago, and the second part appears to be comparing personal experience to an experience I've been told about etc.
If I was watching a bridge game and each player was dealt all cards of one suit, it would be super-tremendously improbable but I would have seen it and I'd believe it happened (although I might be suspicious about some trickery with the deck). If my friend told me that he saw it yesterday, I probably wouldn't believe him, because it is super-tremendously improbable. If I read in a book that it happened once in 1790, I would still find it unlikely, but I'm a lot more willing to believe that it happened once somewhere than that it happened and it was just yesterday and my friend happened to be there.
maybe a better analogy: if my friend came to me and said he saw a two-headed calf in person yesterday, I'd want a lot of explanation about how and where that happened before I believed it; also, I'd expect there to be other sources of information about it that would independently confirm his story. if my friend told me that a two-headed calf was born a hundred years ago in India, I'd probably say "yeah, that could happen, I guess." and I wouldn't be so demanding of alternative sources of proof.
"Two-headed calf" is major league bait and switch vs. "guy died and came back from dead a couple days later." The analogy becomes nonsensical. Equally invalid is "everyone gets dealt 13 cards of one suit" because "impossible" is not synonymous with "quite unlikely."
Basic bayeseanism: impossible may not be the same as "quite unlikely", but it _is_ interchangeable with "ludicrously unlikely". There are no 0s or 1s in a rational set of priors, though you may have some that require a lot of decimal places.
Anyone who sees that bridge deal, even with their own eyes, and thinks there's a measurable chance it's not a trick is innumerate. Likewise anyone who witnesses torture and execution and later sees the victim alive. Accepting it secondhand from a few sources isn't actually that much worse. Either way, smart money's many millions to one on a lie or a trick.
Two-headed calf is pretty likely compared to the other two events, and I have no trouble accepting such a report, or suspecting it to be real if I saw it in a sideshow.
your question assumes that rationality applies equally to evaluation of everyday real-world situations and to evaluation of religious beliefs. for you it does; for others it doesn't. their conclusions precede their reasoning, and the "calculus" is whatever gets them to the desired end to their own satisfaction, the specific form depending on the individual. "crazy" just isn't a concept that they can meaningfully apply to religious dogma.
Your karma ran over my dogma?
Because there's a potential punishment that comes with not believing in scenario two. If you believe in the potential for an afterlife, and someone gives you a scenario that could directly impact your existence in said afterlife, ones belief system could potentially be swayed.
What I don't understand is how you continue to find the subject of religion interesting. I find it sort of like most people being absolutely convinced in the existence of the easter bunny - depressing, yes, interesting, no. Talking someone into not believing in god is like talking them into not smoking, it's just a waste of time.
I put it to you then: what is appropriate use of time, if that is a waste of time?
I don't care for such strong assertions as what's "worth" discussing. There are many great men who believe that all discussions are worth having.
Three things I do not find interesting for their own sakes: politics, religion, and finance.
Three things I devote attention to anyway: ...
In all three cases the reason is the same, more so since I had kids and had to assume a longer time horizon. Perhaps it was best expressed in another context: "You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you."
On the off chance you haven't already read Jon Krakauer's "Under The Banner Of Heaven," I recommend it. As I recall it, he gets near the concept your opening post raised in the context of Mormonism, although I don't think he quite frames it that way -- in all events, I'm guessing you'll like the book.
"Why not just tell people I'm an alien from Mars. Tell them I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight. They'll believe anything you say, because you're a reporter. But if I, Michael Jackson, were to say, 'I'm an alien from Mars and I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight,' people would say, 'Oh, man, that Michael Jackson is nuts. He's cracked up. You can't believe a damn word that comes out of his mouth.'"
—Michael Jackson
It's more likely your analogy would happen the other way around....
In our country that is around 75% Christian, only 20% attend church on a given week.
If people REALLY believed in being slain and rising from the dead, don't you think the attendance would be higher? If I really believed that religion could immortalize me and jesus came back from the dead, i'd be in church every freakin' day!
The reason that their beliefs are unremarkable and not crazy is that most don't actually believe them literally.
(Ok, i lied. Personally i do believe that i can rise from the dead. It's just very improbable.)
and yet here we are. To draw the irony further, Jesus convinced some through witnessed "miracles" but was vastly more convincing after death, through the Bible. Judaism has survived for thousands of years based on written documents, stories and ceremonies. Isn't this a testament to the power of narrative over the human psyche? To some kind of societal logic of religion and group thinking?
I am not a believer, and am not drawn to group thinking (or so I like to think), but find it far more interesting to ask why? That men are sheep is too reductive and lacks imagination, imho. [not that it doesn't infuriate me when some use religion to oppose science, or worse, to justify killing/oppressing others]
"We're all individuals!"
Wish I had responded to this post in anything resembling real time, however, here we are, the day after Christmas, and for some reason I was drawn to your blog, Paul. Fact, or miracle? I don't know. Supposedly, a miracle has been defined mathematically as something that has less than a 1 in 10^-50 chance of happening. Your question seems to posit The Bible is a work of fiction, and as such, has already been proven otherwise. You can't use the same standards of proof today on an event that happened almost 2000 years ago.
Having stated that, had I been around at the time, I might not have become a follower of Jesus, simply because I don't know that I would've known anyone that witnessed the event firsthand, or seen it for myself.
So, I guess your question comes downto, what you should believe. Only you can answer that. Sounds like faith, actually.
I hope you and your family had a Merry Christmas, however, if you're not celebrating the birth of Christ, then what are you celebrating?

Contract research organization ReSearch Pharmaceutical Services (RPS) and Japanese CRO Asklep are creating a joint venture company (JVC) that will aim to deliver leading-edge R&D outsourcing solutions in Japan to the biopharmaceutical and medical device industries.
The RPS-Asklep collaboration will leverage RPS' structures and global footprint to deliver customized solutions across large, mid-size and small and virtual organizations. According to the firms, options ranging from embedded, hybrid, and full-service solutions will be available to clients using best-in-class standard operating procedures, processes, and systems. Alan Morgan, RPS' COO, will assume the role of CEO of the JVC, in addition to his current responsibilities.
"By combining RPS' innovative approaches to meeting the industry's needs with Asklep's excellent reputation, significant size, and local infrastructure, RPS will be positioned to meet current and future needs across the biopharmaceutical and medical device industries," Daniel Perlman, CEO and founder of RPS, said. "Japan is an important market for clinical development, and this JVC brings ownership and accountability with mutual success and long-term stability to the benefit of customers."

Asklep, which was founded in Tokyo in 1992, has been expanding over the past year, establishing local subsidiaries in Korea and Taiwan, and merging with clinical trial management company PPCJ last April. Of the merger, they said in a press release, "The environment surrounding this business has become harsh, so we have determined that it is important to further streamline and increase pace of operations for the enhancement of the marketing expertise and promotion of efficiency of management by integrating management resources of Asklep and PPCJ through this merger."

Michael Vick finally admitted his role in the Dog fighting scandal-no news there -the real news is he himself killed underperforming dogs -rather than give them away he would hang, electrocute , shoot and in one instance picked up a dog and repeatedly slammed it onto the ground breaking the dog's neck and back .
Vick is pleading guilty and is supposed to receive a suspended sentence . This is a sick SOB and I wish only the very worst for this scumbag - not just losing his money -I hope far worse things for this CREATURE.
Something along the lines of throwing him into a pit of Gators ,of course , I would have the decency to give the man a baseball bat .

Northeast, Midwest Weather to Start Warm for May
April 26 (Bloomberg) -- May weather will probably start out warm for the Midwest and Northeast, including New York City and Chicago, according to forecasters.
Average temperatures from Colorado to Massachusetts may reach 6 degrees Fahrenheit (3.3 Celsius) above normal from May 2 to May 6, said David Salmon, owner of Weather Derivatives in Belton, Missouri.
Salmon forecasts even warmer weather around the Great Lakes, including Chicago, where average temperatures may be 10 degrees above normal.
Commodities traders watch temperature outlooks and heating-degree days forecasts to gauge energy use and demand. About 51 percent of U.S. households use gas for heating, according to the Energy Department, while demand from electricity generators peaks in the summer months to meet air conditioning needs.
"The models are in good agreement on moderate to much-above-normal temperatures spreading across the Midwest and East next week," said Matt Rogers, president of Commodity Weather Group LLC in Bethesda, Maryland.
The warmer air may shift to the west over the Rocky Mountains from May 6 to May 10, while more seasonal temperatures take hold in the Great Lakes and Northeast, Rogers said.
The normal average temperature for April 28 in New York is about 57, according to MDA EarthSat Weather in Gaithersburg, Maryland. It's 53 in Boston, 54 in Chicago, 62 in St. Louis, 66 in Atlanta, 72 in Dallas, 74 in Houston, 53 in Seattle and 64 in Burbank, California.

it looks very interesting lets see how this goes. i hope you keep the project alive it does sound really interesting.
Abode in the Crown is a Third Person Single/Multiplayer Online RPG. The real time action based combat mixed with adventure, and the collection of resources to create things like Tools, Buildings, Weapons, and Armor is merely a stepping stone towards the regenerative atonement of The First Born of Light.
The starting world in which the character can explore and build within is called The Abode. The Abode is an area of land surrounded by an expanse of water. Encircling The Abode, out over the sea, an ominous dense fog called The Cloud of Unknowing obscures the view of anything that lies beyond it.
By traversing the sea the character will be able to leave The Abode, venture through The Cloud of Unknowing and into the first of the ten emanations of creation originating from, limitless infinity, The Ens of I. Khutlam (tentative name) is the first emanation out of ten that the character has access to (only seven of them are actually explorable). Khutlam is the overall form of the state, or condition, of all the other emanations. The player's goal is to release Khutlam and the remaining emanations from the influence of the opposing Qipuloth (demonic orders of entities) that surround each emanation.

I'm Spasticus Autisticus!
All I wish is for people to think twice - when they see someone who looks too "young" to be disabled, or who isn't using a mobility aid but still needs a blue badge, to be aware of hidden impairments.
These include issues with balance, mobility, stamina... or heart or lung problems... or autism... or epilepsy...
So my brief message is to encourage people to think twice and not to make assumptions about people. If someone identifies as being disabled, or even just takes a little longer to get out of your way, it's probably for a reason.

We have a fantasy that Don Draper is a Lothario who can go out and get any woman that he wants.
Later, his turn as a Lothario in the box office hit Crazy Stupid Love made him even more swoon-worthy.
masc. proper name, Italian form of Old High German Hlothari, Hludher (whence German Luther, French Lothaire), literally "famous warrior," from Old High German lut (see loud) + heri "host, army" (see harry (v.)). As a characteristic name for a lady-killer, 1756, from the name of the principal male character of Nicholas Rowe's "The Fair Penitent" (1703).

Jag XKR-S GT vs SRT Viper TA
542bhp Brit brawls with 631bhp of American muscle. But which will come out on top?
Posted: 03 Apr 2014
Already a rare piece of exotica, the most exclusive bit of the Viper TA is its TA Orange paint. Ninety-three will be available in this colour, with 33 each in Venom Black or Bright White. All of the other bits that go into turning a regular SRT Viper into a TA are available in the configurator - you just need to know which ones to pick.
So, for the record, these are the key items: Sidewinder II wheels - 14kg lighter a set than standard; 355mm-wide Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres - which generate the biggest contact patch of any production car on sale today; solid front and rear anti-roll bars - 30 per cent stiffer than standad; two-piece Brembo brakes - lighter and with a bigger braking surface; two-stage Bilstein dampers - with Race and Road modes; and also an aero package that increases downforce at 150mph by 700 per cent. (The V10 engine stays in standard 631bhp form.)
Much simpler to just buy the TA, but if they've run out, those are the bits you need to add. Because they turn the Viper into the car it always wanted to be.

I like it
Erik from Portland, OR – Verified Buyer
I like a lot. It's nice and sturdy and there's a lot of room to work and draw with. As a comic book artist and this is perfect for me. And if any of your employeesat Wayfair read comics be sure to look out for my upcoming book called Until We Sleep from Shot in the Dark Comics. Inked by me with Joe Tolliver on pencils and created and written by Bob Garr!
Nice And great for working
Kris from West Deptford, NJ – Verified Buyer
I like the quality of this product and it is exactly what I expected. It is durable and looks like it will hold up well.
Great art table and very sturdy and true to the picture.
rodney stovall from Saint Louis, MO – Verified Buyer
I have no complaints assembly was easy and the quality of this table is far superior than i anticipated!
Not bad for the money.
Ismael from Brooklyn, NY – Verified Buyer
It's a very nice drafting table and great if you are on a small budget. It SHOULD come with a stool but doesn't. Once assembled it's great. The small compartments are a nice attachment but the other holding handle divice is really worthless. If I could order it again I would get the more advance model for a couple of dollars more. Over all its great if you are starting out in art or drafting but NOT for an advanced artist or draftsman.

Your browser does not support iframes. Alex Gordon nearly had the catch of the year after climbing the wall in an attempt to rob Dayan Viciedo of a home run Wednesday. Viciedo was up with a runner on first, two outs, and his Chicago White Sox up 2-1 in the fourth when he belted a tailing fastball to left. Gordon was already playing deep and decided to climb the wall. He hopped on the top of the padding and reached a few feet over the fence to nearly rob the homer. He was so close to making the catch that even White Sox TV announcer Hawk Harrelson was fooled. Unfortunately for Kansas City, the ball went off the edge of Gordon's glove to give Viciedo the dinger. The White Sox won the game 5-2 over the Royals. Check out how close Gordon was to making the catch: Last season Josh Reddick climbed a fence to make a catch. That one was great. But nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever come close to matching this catch from the Japanese League.

James Harden took it back to the playground against the Sixers on Saturday. The Rockets guard went behind his back and then between his legs on a crossover dribble to shake Jrue Holiday on a fastbreak in the fourth quarter. That's the kind of move you expect to see in some And 1 game, not during an NBA contest. Who even thinks of doing that on the fly? Harden finished with 29 points in Houston's 107-100 loss to Philly. He is fourth in the NBA in scoring. Despite getting fooled on that play, Holiday had 30 points and nine assists as he continues to play at an All-Star level.

WE ARE surrounded by waves. They pass through us, they allow us to hear and see, they move us and we could not live without them. They are everywhere, yet most we do not even notice.
Gavin Pretor-Pinney did something wonderful with his first book, The Cloudspotter's Guide, creating a community of cloud obsessives. Can he do the same with this more nebulous subject? While clouds were easy to get started on - just lie back and observe - waves are a bit harder. We think we know about waves, but the beach is just the beginning.
A measure of the success of this quietly informative book is how readily the information is absorbed while you are busy having fun. Stories and science meld, and Pretor-Pinney manages to effortlessly segue from whip-cracking cowboys to Einstein and photons and on to the art of bodysurfing Hawaii's north shore. I sense a ...

Research among 1200 employees found that one- third would rather just make themselves a drink and get back to work.
Many of those polled by older people's charity the Royal Voluntary Service admitted they made excuses for not making a round of drinks, such as waiting until colleagues left the office, or deliberately making a poor brew so they were not asked again.
Two out of five workers said their boss never made them a cup of tea or coffee, even though on average they have five hot drinks a day.
The charity called on companies to help save the tea round as part of its Great Brew Break fundraising event from April 28 to May 4.
Chief executive David McCullough said: "We know first-hand how important a cup of tea and a little bit of shared time can be to a person's life, whether that's a happy workplace or cheering up on older person who might not have seen anyone else all week.
"Taking that small amount of time to talk and share a cup of tea is beneficial to everyone's day. I want to encourage the nation's bosses to do their bit to save the humble tea break by pledging to make tea for their colleagues and raise funds for Great Brew Break."

Football players are supposed to be some of the toughest guys on the planet. Rashad Johnson took that perception to a whole new level on Sunday. The Arizona Cardinals safety lost part of his middle finger during Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Saints, according to Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic. Johnson discovered the injury only after taking the glove off of his right hand and realizing that part of the finger was still in it. He underwent surgery on his right middle finger on Sunday night, with doctors shaving the finger down to about the first knuckle. The most amazing part of Johnson's gruesome injury, though, is not that he lost part of a finger in the game — because, he lost part of a finger! — but rather that he kept playing through the pain. Johnson isn't exactly sure when the injury occurred, although he thinks it was on a Darren Sproles punt return during the game, but the 27-year-old safety stayed out on the field anyway not realizing the brutal truth until later. There is not yet a timetable for his return, although doctors are concerned about the finger becoming infected, according to Somers. Johnson finished the game with three tackles, giving him 13 total on the season. Have a question for Luke Hughes? Send it to him via Twitter at @LukeFHughes or send it here.

With over 40 individual exhibitions, a traveling museum retrospective (organized by SITE, Santa Fe) and presence in many major museum shows and collections, Charlesworth is one of the seminal figures whose work has been instrumental in bridging the gap between fine art and a critical practice of photography. Charlesworth's photo-based artwork explores the language of photography in contemporary culture and the ways in which it orders values and perceptions. She has taught photography for several years in the graduate programs at both the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence and the School of Visual Arts in New York. Charlesworth's work appears in numerous museum collections including the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MOCA, Los Angeles and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, amongst many others. She is the recipient of two National Endowment for the Arts grants and a Guggenheim fellowship. She lives and works in New York.
Feminist Artist Statement
Contemporary art is inseparable from its history as an exploratory and expressive practice, one that seeks to know and to redefine the ways in which we experience the world. The work of women artists has had a primary role in giving form to that inquiry. The critical dynamic of feminism, which sought to disrupt the fixity of inherited patriarchal and colonial assumptions, has been a radical and energizing force in every aspect of culture, but none more so than art. In photography, painting, video, and sculpture, the critical and self assertive dialectic of deconstruction and re-articulation which has been fundamental to feminist practice has likewise advanced a politics of inclusion which has valued the contributions of minorities in America as well as non-Western sensibilities in an expanded field of art practice.
In my work I have been concerned with the ways in which public imagery forms a horizon of possibility, informing our sense of ourselves and of the world and shaping our experience and expectations. The overall aim of my project as an artist has been to explore and address the many ways in which photography, as a specific form of shared visual language, articulates values and beliefs, both formally and in terms of content, within the culture at large. I have, through my various series, examined the role of photography within popular culture as it serves to articulate models of sexuality, gender, and political perspective, as well as, conceptions of psychology and spirituality. I have, through these many projects, addressed the ways in which visual meaning is created, while exploring and re-orienting specific models of self and world. My emphasis has always been active in terms of both drawing attention to and reformulating the visual models by which we picture the world. My work has stressed the importance of making, rather than merely reflecting, the values that define our lives. I see this endeavor as firmly rooted within a broader feminist project within the cultural sphere, in which women have played a truly significant role over the last two decades.

Wisconsin's Water Library brings you AquaLog - a place the library will share information and news about water science.
This guide was developed for use by UW-Madison faculty, staff, and students to assist in their pursuit of water research. Water is a cross-disciplinary topic so many types of resources are provided in the fields and departments of Agriculture, Biochemistry, Ecology, Food Science, Education, Chemical Engineering, Biological Engineering, Environmental Science and more.
This Water Research Guide was developed with the help of Jennifer Champoux, Amy De Simone and Peter Rudrud.
What's Eating Freshwater Ports?
Research Leads to Answer and to National Award
By Moira Harrington
It's a mystery to set a coastal engineer's heart aflame. Why are the steel piers, cofferdams, pilings and walls that form the bones of the largest port on the Great Lakes—the Duluth-Superior Port—corroding at an accelerated rate? The plot thickens when you consider that the corrosion levels were significantly higher than typically seen in fresh water and that other Great Lakes ports had not yet seen evidence of this in their own structures.
In fact, this mystery has set Gene Clark's ticker racing as he teamed with colleagues to get to the bottom of this premature, extensive and costly infrastructure failure mechanism. Pits and holes, some as large as a softball, dot the harbor structures. The first assessments identified 13 miles of corroded steel sheet piling and structures requiring replacement, estimated at $1,500 per lineal foot or $120 million in all.
The Duluth-Superior Port annually moves more tonnage than any other Great Lakes port. The projected value is $12.6 billion, supplying 73,719 jobs and representing $3.2 billion in personal income (figures from a 2011 study by Martin Associates). Something had to be done!
Aquatic Invaders Backpack
The Aquatic Invaders Attack Pack is a rucksack filled with materials to help teach students and other groups about Great Lakes aquatic invasive species (AIS), the problems they cause and what can be done about them. Each pack includes preserved specimens of some of the most problematic AIS in the Great Lakes, rugged plastic fact sheets, a classroom guide and a USB flash drive containing 10 lesson plans created by the Great Lakes Sea Grant Network. The packs are designed to complement the Nab the Aquatic Invaders! website hosted by Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant.
Wisconsin residents can borrow an Attack Pack for free from Wisconsin's Water Library. The Pack will be delivered to your local library via the Library Delivery Network of Wisconsin.
The Attack Packs were created by the UW Sea Grant Institute as part of a Great Lakes Sea Grant Network grant from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
These sites have many links to water-related information.
Water information is found in several libraries on campus. You may find useful resources and expert help at:

Recipes Booklet - German, Karl Muffler, 1913 Reg. No: HT 18653
- Summary:
- This booklet belonging to Karl Muffler documents 'Special Recipes' of the Konditoren-Fachschule A. Heckmann Koln/Rhein', 1913. It would have formed part of his accumulated tools of trade. Karl Muffler brought this recipe book with him when he migrated to Australia in 1930.
This item relates to Karl Friedrich Muffler, qualified pastry chef and confectioner, born in 1900, who migrated to Melbourne from Germany in 1930, aboard the passenger liner 'Balranald'. Muffler quickly established himself in Melbourne, commencing employment with Bill Ikinger (who had recruited and sponsored him) at his cake shop in Brunswick, as well as joining the long-running German establishment 'Club Tivoli'. Muffler went on to establish his own business, 'The Embassy' in Malvern, and in 1939 married fellow German migrant Mathilde 'Hilde' Mayer. At this time they were members of the 'German Labour Front' of which Adolf Mayer (Hilde's father) was president. On 4th September, 1939 Karl Muffler, along with dozens of other German residents (including his father-in-law), was placed into police custody as an enemy alien. He was transferred to Tatura internment camp in northern Victoria and while there undertook woodcarving and drafting classes and worked as a cake decorator. He was transferred to a Forestry Commission camp in Broadford, and finally released in 1945. With no family left in Germany he decided to stay in Australia and became naturalised in 1947. He and Hilde had two daughters. After the war, Muffler accepted a position at William Angliss Food Trades School in Melbourne teaching ex-servicemen new skills in cake decoration. He also worked at Paterson's cake shop in Windsor until well into the 1970s. He maintained a connection to the German community though Club Tivoli and died in 1996.

Sunday, September 6, 2009
© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
In honor of this weekend's Decatur Book Festival (which is still going on) I'd like to recommend some of my favorite reads. Other than this fine newspaper, I mean.What these books have in common is that, regardless of when they were written, they all have special application to our day. Call them "Titles for Our Time," and here are my top five: "Gulliver's Travels," by Jonathan Swift. Perhaps the greatest satirist ever, Swift is at his best enumerating the follies of human society. Though sometimes classified as a political commentator, Swift is no partisan; instead, he has an admirable ability to lampoon all sides at once. The theme of "Gulliver's Travels," with its senseless squabbles, arbitrary pronouncements, and out-of-touch intellectuals, is that claims to rule based on moral superiority are just as arbitrary as claims based on physical superiority. If that isn't a message for our time, I don't know what is. "Neither Five Nor Three," by Helen MacInnes. Not as famous as the other books on the list, but a fascinating read nonetheless. Set during the 1950s "Red scare," the novel occasionally borders on hysteria. Still, it offers a great deal of insight into how the far Left has subverted so many of our country's great institutions, including higher education, the entertainment industry, and the Democrat Party. "That Hideous Strength," by C.S. Lewis. The final installment of his adult science-fiction trilogy (the first two books are "Out of the Silent Planet" and "Perelandra"), this novel can also be read independently. Like "Neither Five Nor Three," it sometimes seems a bit dated, in that it's set in a "modern" world that is not our modern world. It is also, however, a fascinating and insightful treatise on the nature of evil, particularly that sort of evil that cloaks itself in high-sounding slogans and pseudo-scientific jargon. You know, the kind of evil we read about in the newspapers every day. "Animal Farm," by George Orwell. I could just as easily have chosen "Nineteen Eighty-Four" here, but I decided to go with something that will appeal to adolescents, including those age 25 and over. That's because children of all ages need to understand how quickly a "people's movement" can become totalitarianism. Orwell's fable clearly demonstrates that sentient beings can be rigidly controlled "for their own good" only through physical force - and only for so long. "The Lord of the Rings," by J.R.R. Tolkien. Really three books, so I guess I'm cheating. But taken together, this trilogy constitutes perhaps the most comprehensive discourse on evil - and the response required of good - ever consigned to literature. Early in the first book, when Frodo asks Gandalf why such horrible things had to happen during his lifetime, Gandalf replies "That is not for [us] to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
