The double helix is now emblematic of the programming language of life, and our understanding of DNA has grown by leaps and bounds over the past six decades. To commemorate such an important landmark in the history of man, let's take a look at some of the most recent developments in the field of genetic research, and maybe even get tested ourselves.

Minnesota May
Consider Atrazine Ban in 2005
At a committee hearing last Monday, Tyrone Hayes, Ph.D., a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, testified that low levels of atrazine "chemically castrate and feminize" male frogs, fish and other wildlife. Dr. Hayes, an internationally recognized expert on frog deformities and their link to pesticides, said that his latest unpublished research found that atrazine, when used in combination with other chemicals, may set the stage for frog deformities that have been found in Minnesota and elsewhere, that include missing or extra legs. Dr. Hayes explained that atrazine raises stress hormones and weakens immune systems, which in turn make young frogs more vulnerable to parasites that interfere with normal limb development.
The comments by
Minnesota's Senator Marty about a possible ban on atrazine come only
weeks after Dr. Hayes was uninvited by the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (MPCA) to be the keynote speaker at the agency's upcoming conference.
According to the Star Tribune on October 20, 2004, Dr. Hayes said that
he was asked by MPCA "if I would remove the words 'atrazine' and
'pesticide' from the title of my talk, and of course I refused to do
that because that's what I work on." (See Daily News story 10/25

Christian, thank you for your last minute accommodations, Cece was very welcoming and we really enjoyed our stay! I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the views at breakfast were incredible! I'll definitely plan on staying with you again.
We enjoyed the privacy of the boat and its ocean view. Only drawback is very low water pressure (OK for washing thin hair, but impossible for thick hair) and the accommodation could be cleaner. Breakfast was more than adequate. Christian is very knowledgeable and helpful. The rental car rate he got us beat any other I could find. He also got us a good deal on a half-day fishing trip, which he joined. The Rainbow Plantation is within easy hiking distance of Captain Cook monument, which has great snorkling. You can even swim with dolphins there! We had a wonderful stay.
What a lovely experience!
The Jungle Boat was great fun & the bed was so comfortable.
Christian is a gracious host & his banana pancakes are the best.
Everything was just as posted & we'll certainly stay here again if we get back to the Big Island.
Mahalo Christian.
The rainbow plantation was a magnificant place to stay on Big Island. Christian hosted us very well. If something has to be organized like the manta ray snorkling event he did it for us. The breakfast was great - cereals, fresh bread, jam, fresh fruits like mangos, passionfruit, avocados, bananas etc from the own garden. We really enjoy the self picking of the fruits. It was a quite area like in the jungle. Only the chickens make some noices in the morning but this was for us no big deal. The condo has a large bed, a bathroom and a small fridge. There is an open kitchen in the "jungle" which need some cleaning. Nevertheless we would stay again at this place.
Christian was very nice and knowledgable; more than happy to answer any question about the island. Even though I arrived late to the B&B, Christian quickly showed me the way and let me settled into the room. The room was awesome- a boat that has been remodeled into a suite with bathroom and living area. This is definitely a great place to stay!
Lovely place, gracious host. Excellent, very comfortable two night stay in the "Jungle Queen," a real boat now high and dry on a lush mountain slope with a sunset view from the back deck all the way down to the ocean.
Christian and his family live in the middle of the paradise. The rooms are very nice and clean next to the jungle with a large view all over the ocean. Breakfast was delicious. He made the banana pancakes with own grown bananas out of the yard next to the house where he lives. Eggs from the chickens around and fresh brewed coffee, also own bread and a lot of fruits from his yard. He knows everything of the island. We had just two full days for sightseeing but with his support we saw 8 of the 10 have to see in big island in just two days. I will stay here again when I will come back to Big Island. Thanks a lot for everything!

Long-Term Fiscal Outlook:
Action Is Needed to Avoid the Possibility of a Serious Economic Disruption in the Future

GAO has for many years warned that our nation is on an imprudent and unsustainable fiscal path. During the past 3 years, the Comptroller General has traveled to 25 states as part of the Fiscal Wake-Up Tour. Members of this diverse group of policy experts agree that finding solutions to the nation's long-term fiscal challenge will require bipartisan cooperation, a willingness to discuss all options, and the courage to make tough choices. At the request of Chairman Conrad and Senator Gregg, the Comptroller General discussed the long-term fiscal outlook, our nation's huge health care challenge, and the shrinking window of opportunity for action.
As we enter 2008, what we call the long-term fiscal challenge is not in the distant future. Already the first members of the baby boom generation have filed for early Social Security retirement benefits--and will be eligible for Medicare in only 3 years. Simulations by GAO, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), and others all show that despite a 3-year decline in the budget deficit, we still face large and growing structural deficits driven primarily by rising health care costs and known demographic trends. Under any plausible scenario, the federal budget is on an imprudent and unsustainable path. Rapidly rising health care costs are not simply a federal budget problem; they are our nation's number one fiscal challenge. Growth in health-related spending is the primary driver of the fiscal challenges facing the state and local governments. Unsustainable growth in health care spending is a systemwide challenge that also threatens to erode the ability of employers to provide coverage to their workers and undercut our ability to compete in a global marketplace. Addressing the unsustainability of health care costs is a societal challenge that calls for us as a nation to fundamentally rethink how we define, deliver, and finance health care in both the public and the private sectors. The passage of time has only worsened the situation: the size of the challenge has grown and the time to address it has shrunk. The longer we wait the more painful and difficult the choices will become, and the greater the risk of a very serious economic disruption. It is understandable that the Congress and the administration are focused on the need for a short-term fiscal stimulus. However, our long-term challenge increases the importance of careful design of any stimulus package--it should be timely, targeted, and temporary. At the same time, creating a capable and credible commission to make recommendations to the next Congress and the next president for action on our longer-range and looming fiscal imbalance is called for.

Society of St. Pius X at Center of Radical Traditionalist Catholic, Anti-Semitic Movement
Traditionalist Catholic groups are scattered around America and the world. But only a handful preach anti-Semitic hatred.
South Bend, Ind.
E. Michael Jones, a former hippie who says he spent his honeymoon stuck in traffic while trying to reach the 1969 Woodstock Festival, started down the road of radical traditionalism in 1981, when he founded Fidelity magazine after being fired as a professor at South Bend's Catholic women's college, St. Mary's. According to religion scholar Michael Cuneo, Fidelity was devoted to exposing wrongdoing in the church with a special emphasis on sex, a topic Jones seems obsessed with. Jones developed a reputation for his frequent clashes with other radical traditionalists, notably Father Nicholas Gruner. (For his part, Gruner told Cuneo that Jones was "secretly a Jew.") In 1996, Jones changed the name of his magazine to Culture Wars, and he has increasingly focused on the alleged evils of the Jews as he adds to his "continuing series on the Jews." The magazine's cover stories over the last year or so are instructive: "Judaizing: Then and Now," "John Huss and the Jews," "The Converso Problem: Then and Now," "The Judaism of Hitler," "Shylock Comes to Notre Dame" and so on. Jones runs through all the usual anti-Semitic canards -- the ideas that "Jewish media elites" run the country, that Jews are "major players" in pornography, and that Jews are behind Masonry and the French Revolution -- but that's only the start. He also accuses Jews of poisoning society with thinkers such as Karl Marx (a devotee of Satan, says Jones) and Sigmund Freud (who set off an epidemic of sexual sin, he says). And he describes the World War II Nazi genocide of the Jews as "a reaction to Jewish Messianism (in the form of Bolshevism)." Last April, in an article raging about a new president of Notre Dame University, Jones charged that anyone who went to a mainstream university would emerge "with a Jewish world view … and maybe a Jewish spouse." Jones, who has written nine books and hundreds of articles, regularly cites extremist sources, especially the American Free Press run by veteran anti-Semite Willis Carto. He also has taken up race, most obviously in his "Rooted Culture" conferences that include a trip to Germany. The 2005 trip theme would be familiar to any neo-Nazi -- "the continuing deracination in Germany." Jones has one other line of business that would be familiar to the racist right: the "neo-ethnic songs" he sells as part of a bid to create what he calls a true "Volk" music.
Constable, N.Y.
The International Fatima Rosary Crusade, known popularly as the Fatima Center, takes its name from Fatima, Portugal, the place where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to three peasant children in 1916 with a series of revelations. The center was founded in 1977 by Father Nicholas Gruner, a Canadian who became obsessed with Fatima after an Italian priest told him that he had a special calling to promote devotion to the Virgin Mary. The following year, Gruner launched The Fatima Crusader, a quarterly that Gruner claims now has some 1 million readers. The publication has carried anti-Semitic articles such as the 1992 piece, "The Program of Christ Against the Plans of Satan," which denounced what it saw as Jewish "naturalism" and blamed Jews for putting "the Christian state in danger." The Crusader also has staunchly defended the work of Father Denis Fahey, a hard-core anti-Semite whom it called "brilliant." In an interview with Catholic scholar Michael Cuneo, Gruner accused a fellow radical traditionalist, E. Michael Jones, of being "secretly a Jew" who was "planted in the American Church to confuse Catholics and sow hatred against people like myself." The Fatima Center heavily promotes a conspiracy theory about the Vatican allegedly working to hide the so-called "Third Secret of Fatima" from the faithful. (Among other things, the theory accuses Pope John XXIII of making a blasphemous pact with Moscow that prevented the Vatican from denouncing communism and has resulted in Satanism flourishing "inside … the Vatican itself.") In 1995, Gruner was ordered to report to his bishop in Italy, but did not; as a result, the Vatican suspended Gruner from his priestly duties in 2001 (a lesser sanction than excommunication). Gruner owns a share of Catholic Family News, helped publish the schismatic book We Resist You to the Face, and is a regular speaker on the radical traditionalist circuit. In 2005, for instance, Gruner told an audience at the annual St. Joseph's Forum conference that Masons -- by which he meant the Jews -- "sacrificed their babies to the pagan gods." Gruner also rubs shoulders with hard-line Holocaust deniers, selling his wares at a 2006 conference of the anti-Semitic Barnes Review.

Mayor Ralph Van Brocklin at Thursday night's City Commission meeting.
That's Mayor Ralph Van Brocklin.
On a night when new city commissioners Jenny Brock and David Tomita familiarized themselves with their surroundings, Van Brocklin, who has now served a two-year apprenticeship, was unanimously elected to what some would say is mostly a symbolic position.
But he made very clear in a terse and determined manner that he had formulated specific priorities during that time. After acknowledging new Vice Mayor Clayton Stout and thanking commissioners, family members and Johnson City residents, he laid out what he strongly suggested commissioners focus on over the next two years.
"My priorities include an accelerated approach to downtown renovation, continued beautification efforts, a strengthened relationship with Johnson City Schools and a much more robust pool of money for economic development," he said.
"Kingsport and Bristol are making inroads into our tax base, and there is a huge gap there," he continued. "I also want to have consistent departmental reports. It may mean longer meetings. The big change I'd like to see — we have not had formal public input sessions. I want to see us set aside 30-40 minutes each meeting for that purpose."
The mayor's first act was to recommend Jenny Brock as the City Commission's representative on the Johnson City Power Board. Brock will retain her spot as board chairwoman. She had been serving as an at-large member after stepping down from the Board of Education,
Police Chief Mark Sirois followed with a school safety report. This came after commissioners approved the police department's submittal of an application for a COPS Hiring Program grant. If awarded, the grant would fund four additional school resource officers who would join the two that now rotate between the school system's elementary schools.
The proposal is for four entry-level officers' salary and benefits. The grant term is three years. The program is 75 percent funded at the federal level with a 25 percent local match, making the three-year total budget for the additional officers about $586,000. A $46,000 contribution will come from Johnson City Schools. The grant requires the city to retain these officers for at least an additional 12 months after the three-year period.
The school system faces a nearly $950,000 shortfall next fiscal year, not including the loss of its federal HEROES Grant — an $800,000 expenditure for which funding dries up this year. And, unless commissioners agree to pick up the tab for next year, the school system will lose a school messenger, mental health services and several additional positions.
"Our request for this amount is very important," said Richard Bales, superintendent of schools.
Board of Education Chairwoman Kathy Hall told commissioners that administrators had "cobbled together" a budget using about $1.8 million in one-time money. Hall also requested that all school employees next school year receive a raise at least equal to that of all other city employees.
The school system's estimated $68 million budget for the 2013-14 school year originally was about $2.2 million out of balance, but cuts, including funding for the Topper Tots program which will be paid for through self-sustaining methods next year, Southern Association of Colleges dues and mentor compensation lowered that amount. Still, the total financial needs for next year is more than $3.9 million.
The board also chose to use $240,000 in state funds for salary improvement to pay for part of the estimated $400,000 step increase for employees next year.
In other business, commissioners:
n Approved an ordinance to rezone property located at 71 Cherry St. from B-2 (central business) to B-3 (supporting central business). Petitioners, Marvin and Todd Carter want to construct a 15-unit multi-family development on the site. The property currently is vacant. City staff has calculated that the development would generate about 90 vehicle trips per day.
n Approved on second reading an ordinance to rezone about 2.5 acres at 2412 Knob Creek Road from MS-1 (medical services) to R-4 (medium density residential). The petitioner is Mitch Cox and Dominion Development Group. Cox wants to build a 40,000-square foot, 60-unit assisted living facility on the site, which adjoins the Towne Acres neighborhood. A required concept plan also was approved.

Some days you end up with an Overcast sky on a wedding day and you really glad it ended up that way, Now Komatipoort/Malelane really can be relatively hot even in winter months, but on their wedding day, which took place on both Eliska's dads Church that he is the minister of as well as the family farm bordering Marloth Park, the weather worked out perfectly. We had some great moody skies while shooting the groomsmen before the wedding as well as a general cool atmosphere throughout the ceremony. We got pretty lucky with the Couple shoot as well, In Komatipoort we had the creepy clouds edge closer as we got our spots and let the shutters loose, then traveling through the rain we saw the sun breaking through the clouds and started gunning it to our last spot of the day, and man, what amazing colors in the sky with an awesome red umbrella as a prop in a perfect landscaped field with that one lone tree that just sets the mood.
The other highlight was shooting the family Photos on the Kruger national park side of the fence and just as we finished off and the exact moment of us closer the gate a large Elephant made his way up the bank and made us Crap ourselves as it trumpeted about 10 meters away.

Christo and Maryke's wedding took place at Likweti Lodge between Nelspruit and White river relatively close to the Kruger Mpumalanga international Airport. The day really was decently warm for a winters day, with very little cloud cover throughout the day. This was a second wedding for the both of them but as with new beginnings, they too went the full wedding route and spent the time to create an amazing new marriage celebration together with Friends and Family. Christo got ready together with his Son and Maryke with her sister. so No massive bridal party on this one. The ceremony took place at fish eagle dam with a beautiful soft breeze blowing over the dam. as often as we do shoot here, its always great to be outside on a beautiful day. The couple shoot went super well, they were amazing fun to shoot, made them jump, pull faces and the whole lots and they just performed without fuss. Laughed our arses off! the reception was an amazing vibe to it, mostly due to the fact that they had a live performing artist playing nearly all kinds of instruments during reception with a voice that can mimic nearly all well known songs. well Hope you like the Images, we had great fun getting them.

The recovery in west continued today with a special fundraiser organized by a four-year-old boy.
Parker's Park Project was dreamed up by little Parker Pustjovsky, son of Joey Pustjovsky who was a West volunteer firefighter killed in the fertilizer plant explosion.
The West City Park was practically destroyed in the explosion.
Over the Memorial Day weekend, Parker decided that he wanted to do something to help bring it back to life. He got to work and put together a special benefit selling hot dogs, baked goods, and t-shirts.
Hundreds of people turned out today to show their support. Parker managed to raise more than $50,000 today.
Work to rebuild the city park is expected to begin very soon.

Hull and Humber Chamber of Commerce donate £1,000 to Teenage Cancer Trust
Posted: February 10, 2014|
The Hull and Humber Chamber of Commerce have donated more than £1,000 to the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Chamber president Dr Malcolm Joslin, presented the charity's regional fundraiser Abby Batchelor with a cheque of £1,107.60 at the Trust's specialist unit at Castle Hill Hospital.
The money was raised at the Chamber's annual dinner in December.
Ms Batchelor said: "Teenage Cancer Trust is extremely grateful for this wonderful support as we rely on donations to fund our vital work.
"The money raised will go towards the maintenance of the Teenage Cancer Trust unit at Castle Hill, as well as fund specialist staff and support the work of the charity's free cancer awareness sessions in schools, colleges and universities across Yorkshire and the Humber."
Castle Hill Hospital opened its first shared care unit in December 2011, which works in partnership with the Teenage Cancer Trust's specialist unit at St James's Hospital in Leeds.
The unit gives young people who have been diagnosed with cancer access to dedicated services close to their homes.

The LightBox site of TIME.com produced a video that speaks to the material dimension of Violentology, as a physical product printed on a heavy porous paper and sewn by hand.
Many thanks to Neil Harris and the team at TIME.com for such an elegant and careful work.
Violentology printed folio by folio
For both aesthetic and onceptual reasons, Violentology is printed on the rotary press of the legendary El Espectador newspaper, which is world-famous for having stood up to Pablo Escobar even after he blew up the newspaper offices in 1989. El Espectador has courageously worked over the years to expose the atrocities committed by guerrillas, paramilitaries and state forces against the civilian population.

Tonight's Screen Actors Guild Awards were not as tipsy-casual as the Golden Globes nor as formal as the Oscars almost certainly will be, but they were still chock full of funny, touching quotes from everyone from Amy Poehler to Tina Fey to Dick Van Dyke. And while it technically was not "out loud" and therefore does not count as a quote, did everyone see Bryan Cranston's adorable daughter mouth "I love you, Dad" while he was onstage? After we finished dying over how cute that was, we rounded up all our favorite bon mots from tonight's ceremony for your reading pleasure:
Shia LaBeouf Drops Acid, And 10 Other Extreme Things Actors Have Done For Roles
Shia LaBeouf might not get an Oscar for taking LSD for his role in the upcoming film The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman, but he might get us to consider buying a ticket. "I'd never done acid before. I remember sending Evan tapes. I remember trying to conjure this and sending tapes. And Evan being like 'That's good, but that's not but, that is,'" LaBeouf told MTV about dropping acid to prepare for his character's drug trip. "You reach out to friends and gauge where you're at. I was sending tapes around and I'd get 50 percents from people and that just starts creeping me out. I was getting really nervous toward the end. Not cause I wanted to be on drugs — I'm not trying to mess with the set or anything like that. It's really just fear that propels people." Maybe it was fear, but we're betting Oscar gold played at least a tiny part in the other extreme things actors have done for roles…
"Stay Away From Michael J. Fox's Son": The 17 Best Quotes From Tonight's Golden Globes
We feel like we just ate a hearty meal…of celebrity zingers! Much like the food that bares their name, sometimes zingers are all you need to feel satisfied. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler certainly know what we're talking about, what with all the A-list riffing they served up at tonight's Golden Globes. Of course, plenty of other celebs got in on the action, too: Sacha Baron Cohen ripped on Russell Crowe, Aziz Ansari cracked wise about Downton Abbey, Jodie Foster, um, went after Honey Boo Boo. Really. Seriously. If you like the sound of that, you're going to love our 17 Best Golden Globes quotes (in addition to our 7 Best Zingers from the Golden Globes opener!):
Denzel, De Niro, Daniel Day-Lewis: Let Us Handicap The Oscar Nominated Dudes For 2013
The nominations for the 2013 Oscars were announced bright and early this morning, and that brings with it another time-honored tradition: The Oscar betting pool! It's the time of the year when suddenly everyone is a regular Siskel and Ebert, passionately weighing in on a bunch of films that we (probably) haven't seen, guessing who's going to take home the little gold bald dude. Normally we just bet on the thespian who has won the most accolades in the past, but this year it gets a little more tricky: ALL of the Best Supporting Actors have won Oscars before! The track record is fairly similar in the Best Leading Actor category too, with Academy honored legends like Daniel Day-Lewis, Denzel Washington and Joaquin Phoenix going head to head. Ahh, clash of the Titans! What are we going to do!?
Well, never fear, folks, because we've taken the time to handicap all of the actors for you, in basically the least-expert way possible. We went through their cinematic performances broken down into all the pros and cons that you need to make an informed decision for your Oscar night scorecard. Don't worry, we've got one for the actresses too! Read on…
Best Actors
Daniel Day-Lewis: Abraham Lincoln in Lincoln
Why He Has A Good Shot: Not only did the master craftsman give the performance of his career by bringing back the controversial president, but he also grew his own beard, you guys.
What Might Hold Him Back: The Academy forgets that his last name has a hyphen, accidentally awards an Oscar to a "Daniel Day Lewis."
Bradley Cooper: Pat Solitano in Silver Linings Playbook
Why He Has A Good Shot: Brad really showed that he was much more than a pretty face/funny guy in David O. Russell's alt- dramedy.
What Might Hold Him Back: People are still pissed at him for beating out Ryan Gosling as People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive back in 2011.

Ben Affleck, Bradley Cooper, More Help Decide The Most Important Movie Award: Best Facial Hair
Forget the Golden Globes; put aside your hopes and wishes for tonight's People's Choice Awards; sleep in and skip tomorrow's Oscar nominations announcement, because we here at VH1 Celebrity have a much more important title to hand out this awards season: Best Facial Hair Performance in a Motion Picture. You know we're not alone in pointing out how important beards, mutton chops, mustaches and scruff have been to 2012's most critically acclaimed films: Can you even imagine Lincoln, Django Unchained, Argo, Les Miserables, Bernie or (god forbid) The Hobbit with clean-shaven stars?
VH1 News polled the heavy hitters at the National Board of Review Awards on Tuesday night to see who the stars would nominate and the answers were predictably enthusiastic.
"I'm not worried about awards season, but I have been going for best beard," Ben Affleck told us. "[Leonardo DiCaprio's] got the best, probably, and Bradley [Cooper's] got, like, the scruff, which doesn't look like a beard-beard but you can't discredit because it's carefully calibrated." Read more…
From Snakes On A Plane To Gigli: The Least Award-Worthy Roles Of The 2013 Golden Globe Nominees
The nominees for the 2013 Golden Globes were announced bright and early this morning, and the list didn't feature a ton of surprises. Perhaps the most surprising part is that these men and women have all kept truckin' with their acting careers despite having made some hilariously bad role choices in the past. Congrats guys, you're an illustration of the enduring human spirit! Or maybe you all just got better agents…
To be fair, folks like Leonardo DiCaprio, Helen Hunt and Joaquin Phoenix when they made their turkeys, so they didn't know any better. But not everyone in this list has that excuse! Ben Affleck might have a GG nod for best director with Argo, but it still doesn't excuse the fact that he helped bring Gigli to life. And why have we all forgotten that The Good Wife's Julianna Margulies was in Snakes On A Plane, or that Alec Baldwin appeared as Mr. Conductor in the children's train movie Thomas And The Magic Track? It's pretty priceless!
Let's dive deep into the IMDB page of these acclaimed thespians and pull out some truly amazing forgotten films. It's like cinematic naked baby photos! And always remember: You too can still rise to the top, even if you've made a movie as bad as She-Devil.

Daniel Day-Lewis Knows His Memes: Lincoln Star Tries His Hand At "Eastwooding"
With the election over, you might think it's finally time to put away the "Binders Full of Women" jokes and store those horses and bayonets in the closet, and you'd be right. But we'll make one exception for political memes, only because it's coming from the most unlikely of places: Daniel Day-Lewis. The actor renowned for such comic films as There Will Be Blood, In the Name of the Father and the upcoming Lincoln accepted the Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award for Excellence in Film at the BAFTA L.A. Britannia Awards gala last night and had the audience in stitches with a little gag. He brought a chair up onstage with him, and subtly made a shushing gesture at the empty seat after mentioning that he stayed up late on Tuesday night to watch the election results. Read more…
FABLife's DVD Pick Of The Week
A musical based on 8 ½, the impenetrable Federico Fellini film from 50 years ago? God knows what anybody was thinking–aside from hoping that maybe this tuner would repeat the success of the Oscar-winning Chicago. The songs are pretty unmemorable and the story is as underpowered as an Audi on bricks, but there are some good things here. Daniel Day-Lewis plays the genius movie director who has run out ideas. Seeking refuge from his producers and the press at a seaside spa, he is both tormented and delighted by visions of the women in his life. Day-Lewis is as watchable as ever; Penelope Cruz does a pole dance, and Fergie is an unexpected surprise as a prostitute singing "Be Italian" like her next plate of pasta depended on it. Judi Dench warbling in a basque, however, is enough to make one drive nails through their eyes.
Extras: Commentary track, three music videos and plenty of "making of" featurettes.

Celebrity Doppelgangers
Common folk eat up comparisons to their famous look-a-like, but what about celebrities themselves? Via makeup, plastic surgery, and sheer coincidence, duplicates of our beloved stars are running rampant all over Hollywood, or in Lady Gaga's case, gracing our currency. Here are 20 of our favorite, unrelated, doppelgangin' celebs. [Photos: Getty Images]
Nine NYC Premiere Brings Out All The Ladies
Madonna and Lourdes were only two of the women strutting their stuff at the NYC premiere of Nine last night. For the first time, all the Critics' Choice Movie Award nominee's female stars were in attendance on the red carpet: Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Kate Hudson (who skipped out on the LA premiere), Fergie (who missed the London one), Marion Cotillard and Judi Dench. Also present were Daniel Day-Lewis, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Tobey Maguire, Kimora Lee Simmons, Goldie Hawn (supporting daughter Kate) and Naomi Watts (who should have helped pal Kidman with her support). Check out their ensembles in the gallery below.

My one problem with our education system is the way we test. Children learn in different ways, and if one child scores alittle lower on a test does not indicate much. The problem is we can not afford to have a staff of that size. Class sizes are normally atleast 25 children and well one teacher can not measure the progress of each child. If the system was overhauled and we had more bodies, we could measure the progress of each child thus taking the importance off of one test.

Carl Mays: "Good Riddance Day" is a good idea
In the celebration and observance of Christmas followed by the flurry of activities that paced the entry into 2014, you may have missed Good Riddance Day. I did. Just yesterday I got around to seeing something about it. I really can't remember if I've noticed it in years past, but I do know now that the Seventh Annual Good Riddance Day was observed in New York City on Dec. 28.
Participants at the event shared their "good riddance" stories with the crowd gathered in Times Square. To help participants get rid of evidences of the bad memories, a secure mobile shredding truck, sledge hammer, rubber mallet and dumpster were on hand to destroy and discard any distasteful, embarrassing or downright depressing memories from 2013. Participants destroyed their written accounts, pink slips, traffic tickets, credit cards, electronic devices and other evidences of negative happenings. They said they wanted to put it behind them and move on into the new year and new opportunities.
The event, along with the recent weather we have been experiencing, made me think of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. In previous columns I have mentioned that Dr. Peale, who passed away on Christmas Eve 1993, was one of my early mentors, and he holds a special place in my heart and mind. His wife Ruth was a great partner and carried on the work the two of them had shared until she passed away in February 2008. Short in stature, she was huge in actions. Having heard her speak, I also know she was dynamic on the platform.
Dr. Peale told of the time Ruth was invited to speak at a convention in North Dakota, where farmers were having a rough go of things. A tremendous number of these famers came from hundreds of miles to hear this small lady with huge inspiration. At a luncheon preceding her talk, Ruth was sitting across from an older, rugged, deeply tanned and wrinkled farmer with large gnarled hands. Ruth said he was shy, but had a look of serenity about him. Hoping to develop some line of communication, she asked, "Sir, how are the crops this year?" The man answered, "Well Ma'am, we ain't got no crops this year." Ruth responded, "You have no crops?"
"No, Ma'am," the farmer told her. "You see, what happened was there was a dust storm that destroyed 70 percent of my crops. Then, after the dust storm we had a plague of grasshoppers and the grasshoppers ate up all the rest. So, we ain't got no crops this year."
Dr. Peale said Ruth was really taken back by the farmer's plight. She said, "Isn't that terrible! What are you going to do about it?"
The farmer just looked at her and responded, "Do? Ma'am, I'm not going to do anything – except I aim to forget it and move on. Through the grace of God, I put it all behind me. I've been farming out here for nigh onto 40 years. And when you deal with the elements, with the earth and with the storm and with the sky and with the rain and with the snow, you learn to take things as they come. You can't destroy your peace of mind by saying 'if' – if it hadn't happened, if the dust storm hadn't come, if the grasshoppers hadn't come – if – if – if. I just aim to forget it and move on."
Dr. Peale said Ruth got a lot of material that day – and so did he. He also said the man might be considered to be just a simple farmer by some people, but he has a message and a faith that should be shared with many. It is a message that proclaims, "Rather than thinking 'if,' think 'how?' – how do I accept this, learn from it, build on it and move forward?" Does the farmer also have a good message for you? He certainly does for me.

It will hardly do anything because of its 60 base attack AND the flame orb lowers attack .It needs the ability guts and a good attack to make a flame orb worth it.

A Patriotic Left?
It was not so very long ago that the standard view of America on the Left was of a racist, sexist, and imperialist society with an essentially evil past: in short, to use a favored term of opprobrium from the 1960's, "Amerika."
Today, America-bashing has not altogether disappeared on the Left, but it has come to be supplemented, and in some quarters even replaced, by something new, and something very surprising. In fact, one of the more unexpected cultural developments of recent years is the number of prominent leftists who have stopped cursing the United States and have starting praising it—and praising it in unabashedly patriotic terms.
In his new book, Achieving Our Country1 the philosopher Richard Rorty exhorts his fellow leftists and academics to embrace "national pride" and to tell "inspiring stories about episodes and figures in the nation's past." Todd Gitlin, once the president of Students for a Democratic Society and still a leading American "progressive," sounds a similar note in The Twilight of Common Dreams (1995), where he writes with admiration about the founding fathers and proclaims his hopes for a revival of "democratic Americanism." The political scientist Benjamin Barber, who has long denounced the undemocratic arrangements of our society, now opines that "to be an American" is "to be enmeshed in a unique story of freedom," while Alexander Alienikoff, a former top Clinton appointee at the Immigration and Naturalization Service, has unfurled the banner of a "progressive American nationalism," declaring that "the idea of . . . the American nation" is "worth defending."
This newfound patriotism in precincts where the United States was once routinely portrayed as a cross between Nazi Germany and the Ku Klux Klan is startling, to say the least. What is going on?
At least one thing that is going on, as some of the new patriots frankly admit, is a simple shift of tactics. Having spent years in the political wilderness, they have decided to accommodate what appears to be a permanent disposition in American public life. In the words of the philosopher Martha Nussbaum, "Appeals to patriotism can be strategically valuable. . . . [W]e frequently have no choice but to mobilize people at this level." Or as Rorty puts it, "an unpatriotic Left never achieved anything."
But what is it that the patriotic Left means to achieve? Substantively, the notion at the heart of the new rhetoric is that there is a "true" America to which the Left should pledge its allegiance; but it is not the America of the here and now. Rather, the true America lies somewhere on the horizon. Rorty and others commonly refer to the U.S. as an "unfinished" nation. Gitlin sees the American project as an offshoot of Enlightenment thought and in that sense "an aspiration, an invitation, a commitment . . . to bring about understandings that do not yet exist." Lawrence Levine, in The Opening of the American Mind (1996), speaks of the country as an example of "dynamic becoming." Barber cites a couplet by the poet Langston Hughes: "O, let America be America again /The land that never has been yet."
From this starting point, different writers go off in different directions. Some, harking back to the themes and slogans of the Old Left, suggest that the way to attain the "land that never has been yet" is to emphasize goals like material equality, or the responsibility of society for developing the capacities of every individual. In articulating this position, Rorty, patriotically enough, cites not a hoary European like Karl Marx but authorities out of the American past: specifically, the poet Walt Whitman (1819-1892) and the philosopher John Dewey (1859-1952). Both, he contends, "wanted the struggle for social justice"—that is, the redistribution of society's wealth and benefits—"to be the country's animating principle," and both can thus guide us to the America that can and ought to be.
But equality of condition is not really the dominant theme on the Left today. What really brings its factions together, even including the flagging social-democratic remnant, is the idea of a multicultural, or "transnational," America.
According to the new patriots, America needs more, not less, group-consciousness. American citizenship itself, writes Alexander Alienikoff, is a deal struck among "mutually respecting" ethnic and cultural groups, and should be understood as a "contract under constant renegotiation." Nor is there any need for immigrants to assimilate to some historically-defined "American Idea." Their sense of their own ethnicity, far from being, as conservatives fear, a solvent of our larger national identity, will actually strengthen it.
In a similar vein, James Banks of the University of Washington, the author of a leading social-studies textbook, contends that if we are "to create an authentically democratic unum, the pluribus (diverse peoples) must negotiate and share power." For Benjamin Barber, the reason diversity will prevail in the end is that it alone is "capable of securing an American future in a world that . . . is not going to be exclusively American, white, or male."
Such talk on the part of academic leftists provides a kind of ideological window-dressing for a movement—multdculturalism—that has already exercised a powerful effect on our nation's classrooms at every level, and has changed the very vocabulary in which the history and character of America are discussed by our children and their teachers. The National History Standards, a federal guide for state school boards promulgated in 1994, goes so far as to eschew the notion of an American people, preferring instead to speak of the country's "peoples." Other authorities, out of respect for the hemisphere's natives, instruct students that Europeans did not in fact "discover" the Americas, and encourage them to view "historical events and situations in ways that are fair and sensitive to all cultural groups affected." And so forth.
It may be pertinent to ask in this connection whether, as the new patriots assert, multicultural education does in fact strengthen the sense of national identity. In fact, it does the opposite. In San Diego, for example, over 5,000 students were asked about their view of themselves as they progressed from the ninth to the twelfth grade. At the beginning of the study, in the early 1990's, 43 percent considered themselves either simple or hyphenated Americans. Four years later, thanks to the ministrations of the multiculturalism, only 30 percent did. As for the number strongly identifying with another nation (like Mexico or the Philippines), it rose from 32 percent in the ninth grade to almost half after four years of high school. The only thing bolstered by the teaching of group-consciousness, in other words, is group-consciousness.
To the leftist intellectuals who speak of the "unfinished" American project, however, that may be all to the good. On the very first page of Achieving Our Country, Richard Rorty declares that, though a believer in the need for national pride, he hopes the U.S. "will someday yield up sovereignty to what Tennyson called 'the Parliament of Man, the Federation of the World.' " What this suggests is that, for at least some of the new patriots, the only way America can truly complete its "unfinished" project is to disappear.
In the 30 years that have passed since the late 1960's, the Left has moved from a dark emphasis on radical American evil to a buoyant emphasis on radical American possibility. There can be no question but that its new rhetoric of reconstruction, under which it seems prepared to march into the next century, is more appealing than its old rhetoric of deconstruction. And it has already proved more successful: behind the friendly face of diversity and multiculturalism, the prospects are bright for imposing the Left's new vision on whole generations of Americans. Which makes it all the more important to understand that, rhetoric aside, this vision remains as hostile as ever to America as it is, and as it was conceived to be. Today's new patriotism is hardly a cause for flag-waving.
