Junior Seau's Death Ruled Suicide, His Brain Being Donated for Research
The San Diego County medical examiner ruled yesterday (May 4) that former NFL linebacker Junior Seau's death from a gunshot to the chest was suicide. There is still plenty of speculation behind why Seau took his life earlier this week, with family members completely caught off guard by the news of his death. When he was found, no note was left.

An FDA Arthritis Advisory Committee voted 13 to 2 in favor of approving Benlysta (belimumab), a lupus medication. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) Advisory Committee consists of 15 outside experts, their recommendations are not binding, however, the FDA nearly always goes along with what they recommend.

Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings has topped 200 yards rushing and beat his previous single-season best on a 52-yard gain in the fourth quarter against the St. Louis Rams.
Peterson had a season-high 212 yards on 24 carries and a touchdown late in the game.
For the season, he has 1,812 yards rushing, by far the best in the NFL, beating his previous best of 1,760 yards in 2007.
With two games to go, Peterson has a chance at the NFL single-season record of 2,105 yards by Eric Dickerson of the Los Angeles Rams in 1984.
Peterson has four career 200-yard games, including an NFL record of 296 yards against San Diego in 2007.

Well vet comes on Thursday, depending on what the x rays say I will be putting down my older retired gelding. A little back story: my TB gelding has been having soundness issues for a little under two years. It first started in his hocks, we injected them, then his stifles started acting up, so we injected his stifles.
Then he was fine for a little while. Then he started having lameness problems on the front, left front to be exact, but every time the vet would come he would flex fine. It was on and off lameness and he of course had to always be sound when the vet came. So the vet never wanted to do x rays. I'm pretty sure he thought I was crazy. And even when he was sound, he still seemed off. So I gave up on the vet, (I don't have a trailer and the only other good vet in the area doesn't do lameness evaluations on farm calls).
He's always been shod on the front, so we added pads. Then he was the best he'd ever been since the lameness has started, he was pasture sound. That's when I decided to retire him (though he had only been ridden about two times in the two years so he was pretty much already retired). And decided that as long as he was pasture sound I would continue to provide him the support he needed and I would keep him.
This horse had taught me to jump and we'd won a wall full of ribbons, so he deserved to be retired and taken care of. Well recently he's been lame again, my farrier was shoeing him yesterday and I mentioned how he was lame again. And he said he'd bet money it's ringbone, especially with the way the pads helped him. The vet is coming this Thursday, and I'm having him do x rays, I've decided that if he does have ringbone I am going to put him down. He already has arthritis in other places and even with bute he's not sound anymore, he gets better but not what I would consider sound (when he started going lame again I buted him).
Depending on where the ringbone is the joint can fuse, but that takes a few years and is very painful. He is only 18 (so I'm told), all I know is he came from a racing stable in California and since he didn't race or show promise he was never tattooed. Then he went to the slaughter house where a lady picked him up, then he's bounced around (and somehow made it to TX), so needless to say any papers, or anything at all is long gone. The dentist says he looks more earlier to mid twenties, so he could be older. I'm already dreading it, but I know it' the right thing to do, I can't take seeing him limp around the pasture, it's not fair to him.
Sorry for the long post, but needless to say I'm dreading Thursday, and already tearing up at the fact that sometime soon I may be driving home with his halter and no him. He was my first horse and I bought him myself in high school, he got me through some rough family times (abusive father) and made me the rider I am today.

The Bike Show and the cycle clothing company Rapha share a birthday, and while The Bike Show keeps on keeping on, Rapha has grown into a global brand and is toasting its success on the Champs-Élysées as suppliers of clothing to the Sky Pro Cycling Team. Jack checks in with Laura Bower and James Fairbank at Rapha to talk about Chris Froome's fishnets and what the company is doing to encourage more women to ride bikes. Summer is festival time and Jack chews over the Rapha Tempest and the Eroica Britannia with Howard Smith, author of The Jersey Pocket cycling blog.
Rapha at 10 and L'Eroica comes to Britain
Live from the V&A: Bike V Design
Contemporary bike culture is blossoming into a mesmerising kaleidoscope of bicycle-related art, craft and graphic design. Small artisans are leading the way while big brands try to cash in on the action. Alice Marsh of Bike V Design leads a discussion recorded in front of a live audience at the Victoria and Albert Museum, bringing together a panel that includes Tom Donhou, a former product designer turned bicycle frame-builder, the founders of The Ride Journal and Boneshaker magazine and James Greig, a graphic designer and bike blogger.
Happy Christmas from the Vulpine Christmas Fête
In a seasonal podcast special, Jack heads to Balham, Gateway to the South, for the Christmas Fête organised by Vulpine, the London-based cycle clothing company. Featuring The Ride Journal, Artcrank, Michaux Club, Pannier.cc, Marsh-Mallows Cycling Holidays, Fresh Tripe and Nick Hussey of Vulpine.
Podcast Special: The Gospel According to St Grant
Grant Petersen thinks most cyclists need to 'unrace themselves', that is to say, stop following what professional racing cyclists do. Instead we should all ride more comfortable bikes in more comfortable clothes and be more relaxed about the whole experience. He's written a book called Just Ride and, in an extended interview, he tells Jack Thurston exactly what he means. Grant Petersen is a highly regarded bicycle designer, formerly of Bridgestone USA and founder and owner of Rivendell Bicycle Works in northern California.
Spilling the Beans
Nick Larsen is founder and creative director at Charge Bikes of Frome in the west of England. Charge is a fairly new company, remarkable for many things and not least the fact that all its products are named after something you would normally find in the kitchen. There's the Juicer (a road bike), the Spoon (a saddle), the Bowl (a pair of handlebars) and of course The Plug, a simple single speed bicycle that launched the company into the big time a few years ago.
Nick talks candidly about the bike industry, his own motivations and inspirations, where future trends are coming from and the potential of the exciting new technology of '3D printing'.
This conversation was recorded live at last month's Bike V Design night at the Design Museum.
Live from Belgium House
In a live broadcast from Belgium House, a temporary Olympic Village and 'cycling paradise' in London's Middle Temple, Jack finds out about Flandrien cycling culture from Rik Vanwalleghem, director of the Tour of Flanders centre in Belgium. At the launch of the Rapha Cycle Club in Soho, Rapha founder Simon Mottram reflects on the eight years since the company was launched in 2004. London cyclist Nick Hussey of the recently launched Vulpine clothing brand talks about designing and making top quality, stylish apparel for the discerning cyclist. And Resonance FM engineer Chris Dixon rides up a virtual Koppenberg.
To Copenhagen, City of Cyclists
A trip to the Danish capital of Copenhagen, city of stylish cyclists, where Jack Thurston meets Mikael Colville-Andersen, the force behind Cycle Chic and Copenhagenize. We talk about how a single street photograph set him on a new path of bicycle advocacy, fashion and city planning consulting. And lots and lots of blogging.

Warm weekend
January 28, 2011
We are booked up for the entire weekend. Every biker in northern New Mexico seems to be taking advantage of this glorious weather. I don't blame them. If I had a bike, you can bet I'd be on it. We'll definitely be Mother Roading tomorrow when I finish the laundry….

Wintry feeling

"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring."
— Rogers Hornsby
Substitute "tourists" for "baseball," and you've pretty much got my take on Route 66 in winter. I know a girl who loves the offseason. Loves it. She drives 66 all year, every chance she gets, and she swears the best time to be on the road is in the winter, because that's when the crowds and the tourists are gone, and you can sit in a cafe and drink coffee and eat chili with extra hot sauce and listen to the regulars or check into a motel and have the whole place to yourself, absolute silence except for the buzz of the neon transformers, and look up at a cold, clear sky and catch your breath and think.
She obviously doesn't own a motel. That silence gets old when you've gotten spoiled to daily adventures with tourists from all over the world. A day or two is nice — you can catch your breath — but the charm wears off in a hurry. I need a project of some kind, stat.
Maybe I should use the winter to work with Joey more. I wonder how much he could learn if I gave him my undivided attention for the next four months or so?

November 11
November 11, 2010
November 11 is important around here for two reasons.
First, it's Veterans Day, which means Coldwater starts the morning with a sunrise presentation of the colors at Wallis Park — organized by our local VFW — and a prayer by Brother Jerry. All the schools hold assemblies to honor faculty, staff, and parents who have served in the military, and the kids spend the day learning the history of Armistice Day and writing thank-you letters to soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. I took Joey to the assembly at the grade school. The third-graders had made flags out of tissue paper and Elmer's glue. Joey insisted on making one for Grant when we got home from the assembly.
Second, it's the birthday of Route 66. Our guests this evening — a couple from Belgium and a photographer from Japan — were pretty excited about the fact that today was the 84th anniversary of the day Route 66 was commissioned as a federal highway.
I'm pretty excited about the fact that it's cold and rainy, which gave me a perfect excuse to make a big batch of posole for dinner this evening. If there's anything more wonderful than homemade posole with plenty of roasted green chiles, I'm sure I don't know what it is.
Hope you had a warm-posole-on-a-cold-evening sort of day, wherever you are.
— Sierra
October 23, 2010
I was expecting something a little more dramatic right about now, but the primary emotion flooding my mind at this moment — three hours after Brother Jerry pronounced us man and wife, and fifteen minutes after I broke out a four-way lug wrench and wowed Grant with my best impression of a NASCAR pit crew after he ran over a broken beer bottle in the middle of the interstate somewhere between Dilia and Starvation Peak — is relief.
Flat tire notwithstanding, the day went very smoothly, and if the rest of the evening goes according to plan, I'm less than an hour and a half away from a long, hot shower, a cold bottle of champagne, and a much-anticipated evening at the beautiful El Rey Inn in Santa Fe.
In case you are wondering, I will be out of pocket for the next few days….

September 26, 2010
Remember the old Burma-Shave ad campaign, which involved little poems written on carefully spaced signs placed along roadsides during heyday of Route 66?
Yeah, I don't remember them, either. Too young. But I've seen plenty of replicas along the road in recent years. They're really popular with Route 66 travelers.
Set of Burma-Shave-type signs that mysteriously appeared along westbound 66 in front of the Tumbleweed yesterday afternoon as I was coming back from a grocery run in Tucumcari:
Set of signs attached to the backs of those signs at some point between the time I went to bed last night and the time I slipped out for a jog this morning:
Set of hastily made cardboard signs currently taped over the westbound signs for Grant to see when he picks me up for church this morning:
Lil Miss
September 22, 2010
Grant sent a diminutive blonde teenager named Lillian into my lobby yesterday afternoon to inquire about a job.
Lillian, who hates her first name and just goes by "Lil," is an honor student and president of Coldwater High School's FFA chapter. Lil drives a '73 Ford pickup she inherited from her late grandfather, loves history and geography, and assures me that there is not a motel guest alive who can make a mess any nastier than anything she's cleaned up on her family's ranch.
A well-known Route 66 historian happened to check in while I was showing Lil how to run the credit-card machine this afternoon. Upon hearing her name, he told her about another Lillian with ties to a historic motel on the Mother Road, then announced that Lil should henceforth be known as "Lil Miss."
Lil Miss nodded. "I like that," she said, her eyes downcast and her voice soft. "I like that a lot."
After our guest headed off to his room, Lil Miss looked at me, tears brimming in her eyes. "Nobody's called me 'Lil Miss' since Grandpa died," she said. "That guy called me 'Lil Miss' because it reminded him of someone he obviously loved a lot, who also died. Isn't that odd?"
I glanced at the picture of St. Julian the Hospitaller pasted onto a jar candle above the fireplace and smiled.
"Around here, 'odd' is relative," I said, pressing a heart-shaped milagro into her open hand. "Welcome to the Tumbleweed."
Sunday Morning Coming Down
September 5, 2010
A quiet Sunday morning and a cup of coffee feel good after the day I had yesterday.
I went over to Tucumcari to pick up groceries and have breakfast at Kix on 66 while Grant and Joey were setting up for Coldwater's annual back-to-school carnival.
I didn't realize I'd forgotten my cell phone until I got to the grocery store and started to send Grant a text asking whether he wanted me to take advantage of a sale on his favorite cereal.
I was seven miles from home when the truck sputtered to a stop on the shoulder of Route 66.
Good thing I took up jogging this spring.
Hank Freed is on vacation this weekend, thanks to the holiday, but four miles into my unplanned jog, I heard the unmistakable beep of a Volkswagen's horn, and Skinny Rodriguez pulled up and asked if I needed a ride.
Skinny, as I think I've mentioned once before, is the biggest gearhead in Guadalupe County. If your truck breaks down, Skinny is probably the first guy you'd want to see pulling over to offer you a ride.
Fifteen minutes later, Skinny had diagnosed the problem as a leak in the fuel line. One of the ancient hoses had cracked, and I hadn't noticed that most of the gas had leaked out of the tank. Skinny took me to Teague's, where we picked up a can of gas and a roll of duct tape, and I crawled under the truck and patched the hose well enough to limp the old girl back home. Hank will have to fix her for real when he gets back next week.
I got cleaned up just in time to catch the end of the school festival and help the teachers take down tents and streamers and tables and chairs.
It's always something….
— Sierra
How do I get myself into these things?
August 7, 2010
The Chamber president came by this afternoon to ask if I'd be willing to chair a Route 66 festival in Coldwater this fall. She thought I'd be a good choice because I could coordinate with Grant and Dr. Scherer to get the schools involved.
Apparently I have taken complete leave of my senses, because I'd already said yes before it occurred to me that I have absolutely no experience and absolutely no business doing any such thing.
Something tells me this is going to be an unmitigated disaster.

A dull moment
July 26, 2010
Nothing happened today.
There were no disturbing revelations. No ghosts from anybody's past. No mysterious shamanistic visitors. No aging hippie raconteurs. No relatives. No cartoon characters come to life. No socially conscious drag queens. No reggae singers. No stray animals. No job seekers. No pogo-stick photo ops. No pyrotechnics.
Absolutely nothing happened today.
Do I need to tell you how completely, utterly, blissfully OK I am with that?

Curiouser and curiouser
July 17, 2010
Let's see … since I closed on this motel in February, I've sheltered travelers from four continents; partied with French bikers; bought a truck; roofed two buildings; rescued a wolf that turned out to be a dog; fostered four kittens (and kept two of them); entertained a stranded Irishman after a volcano, of all things, disrupted air travel; watched a man hop down Route 66 on a pogo stick; celebrated Independence Day with a Japanese rockabilly band; reunited with an old friend I hadn't seen in 18 years; and made friends with a big-hearted drag queen.
Just when I thought I'd seen it all, a perfectly ordinary-looking Ford Explorer pulled up in front of the Tumbleweed this afternoon and disgorged Alice in Wonderland, the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Dormouse, and the Cheshire Cat.
The White Rabbit came into the lobby and asked if there was a fee for using the Tumbleweed as a backdrop for some family photographs. I assured him that there wasn't, so he set up a tripod, and he and Alice organized their brood — tweenie Mad Hatter, 3-year-old Cheshire Cat, and 6-month-old Dormouse — in various poses front of the motel, including one that involved Alice holding a plastic lawn flamingo like a croquet mallet.
They spent about 30 minutes out there, came in and bought some bottled water and postcards in the lobby, shot a few more pictures inside, and headed off toward Tucumcari, where they were planning to spend the night.
Curiouser and curiouser….

The End of Nothing
The End of Men:
And the Rise of Women
By Hanna Rosin
Riverhead, 320 pages
Hanna Rosin's The End of Men: And the Rise of Women, based on a much-ballyhooed article she wrote for the Atlantic two years ago, purports to describe an "unprecedented moment" in which "women are no longer merely gaining on men; they have pulled decisively ahead by almost every measure." (Note that "almost." Though the pay gap persists, "women overall are doing better than guys, even if one woman makes less than the man sitting next to her," Rosin told Glamour.) The book has been widely discussed in the press and online; Rosin has been lauded both for her "thorough research and engaging writing" (Minneapolis Star Tribune), and for the book's "substance and scholarship" (the Wall Street Journal). The Huffington Post calls The End of Men "one of the most anticipated books of the year," and the Smithsonian praises its "nimble, fluid style," calling it "one of those books that make all the puzzle pieces come together—academic studies, news stories, TV shows, novels, that strange Super Bowl commercial with the evocative undertones."
Those who fear that her assertion of a whole gender's imminent demise might actually be true need not despair; the empress has no clothes.
The End of Men, which ranges widely over the economic, sexual, marital, and social landscape of America (and, incongruously, South Korea), posits a dull truism: Women are doing better than men in the "new economy" because women are by nature better suited to it. Rosin's description of the truism offers a sense of the vulgarity of her perspective. Industries "deeply identified with macho" were the hardest hit in the Great Recession; now, because the "postindustrial economy is indifferent to brawn," those millions of men left jobless must change their very personalities if they want to bounce back. Nothing but recalcitrance prevents them from excelling. "Theoretically, they can be anything these days; secretary, seamstress, PTA president. But moving into these new roles…requires certain traits: flexibility, hustle, and an expansive sense of identity." Unfortunately for men, these traits, Rosin says, are at present the near-exclusive province of women.
Rosin has names for the new breed of woman and her brawny, immutable counterpart: "Plastic Woman" and "Cardboard Man." Plastic Woman is voracious, ambitious, and (above all) flexible. In her most extreme form, she is "the mutant creature our society now rewards the most—the one who can simultaneously handle the old male and female responsibilities without missing a beat." Cardboard Man, on the other hand, clings to outmoded ways. He's a ball and chain for any woman who deigns to marry him (which she does, if she does, later and with more reluctance than ever before). In school, at home, and at work (if he works), he suffers the indignity of being outmaneuvered, outsmarted, and outearned by women. (And it is, by Rosin's logic, always an indignity to place second.) Some families with ambitious, breadwinner wives may claim (and appear) to be happy, but Rosin knows better; these "see-saw marriages" inevitably have "tensions under the surface." Ultimately, Rosin insists, men are simply "not so quick or eager to inhabit these new flexible roles as women are."
Plastic Woman is easy to locate (she's everywhere!). Cardboard Man proves more difficult to track down. Eventually, Rosin finds him in Alexander City, Alabama, former home of Russell Corporation, an athletic-wear manufacturer. When Russell moved headquarters, 8,000 of Alexander City's 15,000 inhabitants lost their jobs. After 23 years at the plant, Charles Gettys suddenly found himself jobless; meanwhile, his wife Sarah Beth's career at Russell Medical Center is thriving. "Probably no one has had their wife move up the ladder as far as I've moved down," Charles, poignantly, says. But even if Charles and Sarah Beth are coping with a shakeup that is playing out all over the country (or, as Rosin would have it, all over the world), their trajectories are not explicitly linked. Sarah Beth's rise did not cause Charles's fall, even if the two occurred at roughly the same time.
There is no question that women are, as Rosin says, moving into the workforce in unprecedented numbers, while many men are losing their jobs. But women have not displaced men; formerly secure male careers such as "coal miner" and "rigger" are not under siege by an invasion of burly women bent on usurping "a complete identity, connecting a man to a long lineage of men." Rather, women have stepped up at a time when many male jobs have evaporated, and men—as is typical with anyone accustomed to having the upper hand—have proven reluctant to step down. A closer look at the cultural fallout could indeed yield a fascinating book. But Rosin has not written that book. Instead, she has taken a complicated, multilayered situation and reduced it to absurd generalities. Instead of teasing out the intricacies of a complicated cultural phenomenon, she oversimplifies. And by constantly sighting along the axis of gender, she fails to make anything resembling a point.
Any formerly disenfranchised group will leap at the opportunity to remake itself, even if it means starting at square one. But established workers whose livelihoods evaporate are not "cardboard" if they balk at switching careers. When Rosin claims that men "could move quickly into new roles now open to them—college graduate, nurse, teacher, full-time father," she misses the point entirely. First, these roles have always been available to men. The same cultural issues that made them undesirable or unachievable to men in the first place will certainly make them unachievable or undesirable now. Second, the fact that "men do a tiny bit more housework and childcare than they did 40 years ago, while women do vastly more paid work," is not a sign of women's inherent versatility. It simply shows that housework and childcare are less valued financially and less well paid.
The real issue has to do with loss of power. All jobs are not equal; if Marissa Mayer, Julie Gerberding, Sallie Krawcheck, or any of the other high-profile, high-earning, high-status women Rosin profiles in her chapter "The Top" suddenly saw their jobs (and the industries that produced them) evaporate, would they be "plastic" enough to begin at the bottom in unfamiliar, lower-paying, less prestigious, and less glamorous fields? Would they cheerfully adapt to full-time child-rearing and housekeeping? Would Rosin herself?
In chapter after chapter, Rosin willfully ignores everything but the supposed battle between the sexes; as a result, her conclusions are inevitably facile and repetitive. "Pharm Girls," which describes the rapidly "feminizing" pharmaceutical industry, is a bit of a dodge; what Rosin really wants to write about is the feminization of clerical jobs, which unfortunately occurred too early in the century to suit her hypothesis. "Degrees of Difference" makes a halfhearted attempt to uncover a plot to privilege white male college applicants as a new minority in need of assistance. (The evidence proves uninteresting and peters out.) "Hearts of Steel," Rosin's attention-getting take on the "hook-up culture" (also published in the Atlantic), is at best tangentially relevant, while "The Gold Misses: Asian Women Take Over the World" is her desperate attempt to extend her theory worldwide. "I chose South Korea to visit because it's so blatantly on this collision course," she writes, "but I could have chosen any number of countries in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and probably, in a generation or so, Africa."
The above sentence is characteristic of Rosin's writing, which evinces less a style than a collection of nervous tics. Signifiers of vagueness abound: The phrases "sort of," "almost as if," "kind of," "at this point at least," "something like," "not all that much different," "may be similar to," and "might just be the case at this particular moment" pepper her prose. She dissembles when she talks about time, referring to "eras past," "these modern times," and "the future," often without any further clarification. And she leans heavily on the lazy journalist's favorite crutch: the unattributed "studies show…" When she does bother with citations, her sources are often jaw-droppingly bizarre. A quotation from "historian Elliott Gorn" that she uses to shore up the idea that office life undermines virility ("Where would a sense of maleness come from for the worker who sat at a desk all day?") comes, it turns out, from a book called The Manly Art: Bare-Knuckle Prize Fighting in America.
Her attempts to incorporate cultural examples are flat-footed at best and embarrassing at worst. In the "Pharm Girls" chapter, she claims that the 1999 movie Office Space "was maybe the first to capture how alien and dispiriting this new feminized office park can be for men, and how resistant they are to adapting." But there is no such message in Office Space, a satirical update of the soulless-workplace theme already evident in the 1950s in The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit, in the 1960s in The Apartment, and in the 1980s and onward in Dilbert cartoons. We also get, at baffling intervals, tidbits from novels by Gustave Flaubert, Sinclair Lewis, George Eliot, Shirley Jackson, Sherwood Anderson, and Bret Easton Ellis, whose characters Rosin treats as if they were living examples of whatever point she's trying to make. It is unclear how a fictional male pharmacist from the pages of Madame Bovary—a novel published in France in 1857—helps further our understanding of women in the present-day American pharmaceutical industry, but that doesn't hamper Rosin at all.
She seems neither to care nor to notice when a specially chosen anecdote directly undermines her point. In "A More Perfect Poison," her chapter on female aggression, she watches a video in which several young black girls take turns shoving a middle-aged white man at a metro stop. Rosin wants to prove the existence of "the new style of female violence," which she ultimately equates with empowerment; with this in mind, she refuses to consider other, more antiquated, motives behind the attack. "I suppose there is some larger sociocultural argument to be made about class and race oppression and limited means of expression, but even that is a stretch," she sniffs, before quoting in the same paragraph an inner-city girl who, when asked why she fights, makes precisely this sociocultural argument succinctly and well. ("I know I don't rule the world, but I can feel like I do, make you think I do.")
Humor, alas, escapes her. She describes a bitingly brilliant 2005 Los Angeles Times column by Michael Lewis called "How to Put Your Wife Out of Business" as "not quite satire"; rather, it's the perfect articulation of the "underlying tragedy" that has befallen talented women who now stay home. Conceivably, Rosin could argue that the ostensible frame of "satire" allows the writer to vent secret resentments he would otherwise never dare to voice. She could suggest that soi-disant enlightened males such as Michael Lewis harbor scarcely repressed anxieties about their powerful wives. She could even hint that a reader's complicity in the joke means that she, too, is uncomfortable with female power. But Rosin does nothing of the sort. Instead, she rants: "To feminists this should be an outrage: countless potential future female CEOs sacrificed to their husbands' greed and selfish demands. Women who would be king would do well to heed this advice: if you meet a man in business school and suspect he might strike gold, don't marry him. Go for the middle manager instead." How on earth can she be serious?
Throughout the book, Rosin frets about marriage. She links falling marriage rates to rising female autonomy and repeatedly opines that single mothers have more freedom, more power, and fewer demands to hinder their ambition than their married peers do. (That the ability to "make important decisions" about one's life might be offset by even a marginally helpful, wage-earning adult seems not to occur to her; neither does the fact that children demolish a woman's freedom much more effectively than a husband.) The specter of "early dead-end marriage" is raised again and again, as when Rosin bizarrely states, "Today's college girl likens a serious suitor to an accidental pregnancy in the nineteenth century: a danger to be avoided at all costs, lest it thwart a promising future." This assertion, which is comical in its broadness, seems both paranoid and overwrought; surely "today's college girl" can manage to keep her goals in sight and have a relationship or two while maintaining her GPA? But here, once again, Rosin reduces gender relations to a zero-sum game. For women to rise, men must be kept in their place and at a distance; there is no middle ground.
Rosin's disdain for educated women who choose childrearing over careers is palpable throughout; with that in mind, her book's soft-focus fadeout on a bunch of happy daddies in the park with the kids has a slightly sinister feel. So: Let women rise, and let men push strollers and take care of the kids. "In the future—perhaps after his own long spell as underdog and chief caretaker for children—Cardboard Man may become more plastic, too," she writes, a perfect conclusion to an inane, condescending, and ultimately simpleminded book whose author believes there is much to be learned from dividing humanity in all its gloriously and frustratingly messy complexity into the categories of Cardboard and Plastic.

New York, NY-On the very last Friday night SmackDown before the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, the night would end on a Rated-R note, as Edge would build momentum before his big match on Sunday night.
Before we can get to how the Ultimate Opportunist was able to build momentum to the Rumble we need to start the Friday night show which was broadcasted from Cincinnati, Ohio with Vickie 'Excuse Me' Guerrero becoming the 'Acting' General Manager.
Thankfully for the WWE Universe Guerrero would be interrupted by 'The Viper' Randy Orton come out to cut a great 'Excuse Me' promo, saying how 'The Miz' will have to excuse Orton for taking the title back at the pay-per-view.
Just when you thought it was safe young lion Dolph Ziggler comes out and cuts a very good promo saying that soon enough not only Orton, but the rest of the WWE will have to respect Ziggler. As the master of the Zig Zag hopes to have the Worlds heavyweight strap around his waist after the pay-per-view on Sunday.
Orton would cut in saying how respect needs to be in before laying out a vicious RKO on Ziggler, putting the young lion face first into the mat, while also building up to the night's man event Challengers-versus-Champions match.
Laycool def. Kelly Kelly/Kaitlyn: In what was a fluff Divas bout, which the only purpose of this match was to show the dominance of the tag-team known as Laycool before their bout with Natalya on Sunday. This one writer wishes that instead of having Michelle McCool picking up a win over no one cares about, they will actually have her picking up momentum against a Melina or Beth Phoenix. Maybe one day WWE Creative-maybe one day.
Drew McIntyre def. JTG: In again what was a waste of the WWE Universes minds and times, McIntyre picks up a filler victory over JTG to continue the storyline of he and Kelly Kelly. Hey WWE creative this is supposed to be 'The Chosen One' isn't it. Stop having him pick up victories over jobbers and start to have him feuding with people that will get his name noticed on SmackDown. Or even on Raw-a feud with King Sheamus would make for an interesting once since the Sinister Scotsman and Irish Born 'King' would make natural enemies.
In what was a night of a lot of talk we would have a segment with another solid promo by the former 'Dashing' Cody Rhodes, who supposedly broke his nose last week in is bout with Rey Mysterio. According to Rhodes, he will now have to have drastic surgery to fix his face, and now is dreams of participating in the Rumble along with his nose have been broken. This one journalist hopes that this will lead to a feud with Rhodes and the Masked wonder after the Rumble.
Edge cuts interesting promo, but a memo to WWE Creative you could have had less promos and more action on this night. I mean we are trying to build up to the Rumble aren't we. And you are going to have to think of either new feuds or reignite the old feuds you do have after the pay-per-view is over. But all things considering they haven't even thought of how the Rumble is going to end, I guess we should be glad for a good promo filled SmackDown to begin with.
Alberto Del Rio then came to the ring to show why it would be his destiny to win the Rumble on Sunday. The Mexican Aristocrat quickly got rid of two jobbers before the monster known as Kane comes out. Before SmackDown's hottest heel could build up any momentum on Kane, Kofi Kingston would come out and made both superstars look like chumps eliminating both men in one move.
Just as Del Rio and Kane were about to double-team Kingston, backup came in the name of Mysterio. Before utter chaos can break loose Vickie 'Excuse Me' Guerrero comes out to book a tag team match.
Mysterio/Kofi Kingston def. Del Rio/Kane : With this bout the WWE Creative was essentially trying to encourage the fans to believe that a 'fresh' face was going to win the Rumble this year, while creating the debate…is it better to team up or every man for himself leading to success this Sunday.
Big Show comes out cuts a promo on how he is angry at 'The Corre' before the 'Worlds Largest Athlete' could get going the new SmackDown heel stable comes out and surrounds the Giant. The Blue version of the Nexus begins their beat down, but before the finishing moves could occur the locker room would empty. The muscle of the group Ezekiel Jackson would prove his worth, but in the end the Blue Brand would take over the ring.
Oh and by the way you do know that Sunday is the pay-per-view right, well in true WWE Creative shoving their next project down the Universe's throat they would cut to their yearly 'All about the numbers' Royal Rumble promo.
Finally we can now get back to how the Rated-R Superstar was able to build momentum before Sunday. As he and former Rated-RKO partner picked up a victory over 'The Miz' and Dolph Ziggler in the Champion vs. Challengers Main Event bout.
Edge was able to unleash a vicious spear on young lion Ziggler for the 1-2-3 victory, but would have the cards stacked against him in the pay-per-view re-match on Sunday. In true heel fashion Vickie Guerrero banned the finishing move, saying that if it were used that Edge would not only be disqualified but the championship would automatically change hands.
Fans of Edge don't know the 10-time champ as the Ultimate opportunist for nothing, as The Rated-R Superstar unleashed several more spears, building that positive momentum that he needed before Sunday. SmackDown would end with Edge proudly holding the championship up in the air with the fans cheering wildly.
But will that be in fact the scene on Sunday, as Ziggler has picked up a lot of positive momentum of his own. Is the Blue Brand really going to go the way of the young lion, or will they allow the veteran Edge more time with the strap.
There will be many other questions that WWE Creative has to answer before Sunday rolls around. Will the Viper Regain his WWE Championship. Will the Divas title change hands, and who will win the Rumble? Stay tuned loyal readers as we will all find out together the answers to these questions.
Prediction: John Cena will win the Royal Rumble-yes you may booo me now, but Cena has not been in the spot light for quite some time and the Rumble will be in his hometown of Massachusetts, so yes ladies and gents the Champ will win the Royal Rumble.
Interesting rumors to watch for at the Rumble: former TNA 'Knockout' Awesome Kong and Triple H will both participate in the 40-Superstar Rumble on Sunday.

Seam is an exciting new application framework based on the Java EE platform that you can use to build rich, web-based business applications. Seam is rapidly capturing the interest of Java enterprise developers because of its focus on simplicity, ease of use, transparent integration, scalability, and developer choice.
Seam in Action offers a practical and in-depth look at Seam from outside the walls of RedHat/JBoss. The book puts Seam head-to-head with the complexities in the Java EE architecture. It discusses the shortcomings of JSF, the challenges of using Java persistence in the web environment, and other common development roadblocks, then shows how Seam makes these problems just melt away. In covering Seam, the author doesn't just ask you to sprinkle annotations on your code and expect that you understand how it works. Instead, the author lays down the facts, shows you the steps, reveals the logic, and diagrams the flow, so that by the end of the book, you will not only have gained a deep understanding of Seam, but will also come away ready to teach the material to others.
All too often, developers spend a majority of their time integrating disparate technologies, manually tracking state, struggling to understand JSF, wrestling with Hibernate exceptions, and constantly redeploying applications, rather than on the logic pertaining to the business at hand. Seam in Action dives deep into thorough explanations of how Seam eliminates these non-core tasks by leveraging configuration by exception, Java 5 annotations, and aspect-oriented programming.
To start off, you will see a working Java EE-compliant application come together by the end of the second chapter. As you progress through the book, you will discover how Seam eliminates unnecessary layers and configurations and uses an inversion of control technical known as bijection supplemented by a liberal use of the Unified Expression Language (EL) to establish the missing link between JSF, EJB 3 and JavaBean components. You also witness how Seam opens doors for you to incorporate technologies you previously have not had time to learn, such as business processes and stateful page flows (jBPM), rule-based security, Ajax remoting, PDF generation, Spring integration, and more.
- Get started with Seam using seam-gen
- Clarifies the inner workings of bijection
- Breaks down all the Seam annotations
- Covers integration with Spring 2.0
- Shows how to make your applications rich (and hopefully you too!)
- Depth beyond what is found in the reference documentation

The most beloved scene from the movie FAME is what we now call a FLASH MOB DANCE OFF! It was uncommon back then and magical. I watched in awe. I have never had a desire to be a dancer, but love watching people who are really good at what they do. Leaping from car to car, unafraid of traffic or bad dance steps…. ahhh the good old days.
NOW FAME means Forever-Announcing – ME -Everywhere
It's a way to get your message out and lot's of people use it poorly. Read more

Angel Pass- Where the Fashion Industry Comes Together
December 27, 2012 by Dr. Letitia Wright
Filed under A Note for You, Featured Articles, Front Page, Media Training
Recently a group of designers and other professionals in the fashion industry came together. After many long discussions and sharing of our experiences, we saw a change was needed not only in the fashion industry, but in the whole of society. And so the idea of Angelpass was born.
We share the common vision of a just, harmonious society: equality, individual dignity, fairness and honesty in business and social interactions; cooperation rather than adversarial relationships. We want to see our fellow man uplifted, rather than exploited. Especially, we want to see the new generation of professionals in the creative arts freed from the pitfalls of unscrupulous business dealings. We want you to have other options to make your way in your careers.
We are not just idealistic dreamers: we are highly experienced professionals who know our way around the fashion design world. We know exactly what help and opportunities you, as the younger generation, need to find your way in the fashion industry and related creative fields. And we are convinced the negative aspects of the current system can be circumvented by mutual cooperation and networking — networking through Angelpass. Read more
