Jo Jo's Pizza & Pub will close and a new restaurant, tentatively named Blue Ribbon Pub, will open in its place.
Mark Zierath, owner of Molly Cool's Seafood Tavern in downtown Milwaukee, requested a transfer of Jo Jo's tavern license so he can serve drinks, as well as pizza, sandwiches, salads and a Friday fish fry, at the new business.
The city's Legislation, Licensing and Communications Committee on Tuesday unanimously supported the license transfer. It must go to the full Common Council for final approval next week.
The owner of Jo Jo's is getting out of the restaurant business due to health issues, and Zierath has entered into a lease agreement for the building, 11302 W. Blue Mound Road. He plans to open in mid-March and handle the day-to-day management of the establishment.
The menu will offer more variety and lunch will be served - right now Jo Jo's opens at 3 p.m. - in hope of driving more traffic to the location.
Zierath wants to add a patio for outdoor dining and has submitted plans for the Plan Commission to consider next month.
"Molly Cool's does have two very large patios so I do have experience with outdoor dining," Zierath said.
The committee could have recommended extending the liquor license to any future outdoor dining so Zierath would not have to return for additional approvals if the patio becomes a reality, City Attorney Alan Kesner said.
Alderman Tim Hanson, who represents the district, said he'd prefer to hold off on a blanket approval to give residents time to have a say on the outdoor dining component.
Next step
WHAT:Common Council vote on transferring a tavern license from Jo Jo's Pizza & Pub to a new eatery planned for the building
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Tuesday
WHERE: City Hall, 7725 W. North Ave.

Pierce Brosnan's latest film The November Man opened quietly on Wednesday at the box office, only managing to earn enough to hit the fifth spot.
The Relativity Media spy film grossed only $862,000 in its first day of release ahead of Labor Day weekend, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The studio hoped November Man, which also stars Olga Kurylenko and Luke Bracey, would start off a little stronger, despite opening in the middle of the week.
In the film, Brosnan plays an ex-CIA agent who is convinced to leave retirement in order to keep a witness safe and alive. Taking the mission ends up putting him in the crosshairs of his old CIA protege.
Relativity, who independently financed and released the film on its own, was eyeing a possible $12 million six-day opening, but the soft start suggests the film might be lucky to snag $10 million.
The weekend is expected to be a quiet one, with holdovers dominating the box office, Variety notes. Guardians of the Galaxy, which earned $1.5 million on Wednesday, is projected to top the box office once again and gross $13 million.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will follow with a projected $12 million weekend and grossed $1.1 million on Wednesday. If I Stay and Let's Be Cops followed just ahead of November Man.

OK, she's compulsively watchable and totally OTT, but Mortimer Wheeler wasn't exactly a wallflower, and he wasn't afraid to let his freak flag fly if it kept people watching. And now he's held up as the granddaddy of public archaeology.
In the same way that Tony Robinson acted as an archaeology-to-English translator, the emotions that so visibly passed over Philippa Langley's face were probably a mirror for what a lot of us watching were feeling, to a certain degree. Who can't relate to being so over-excited about something that it becomes impossible to manage your expectations, or control your reactions? Three words: HARRODS CHRISTMAS SALE.
In this age where 'transferable skills' and generalism is encouraged over specialisms, it's fantastic to see someone so single-mindedly obsessed with one topic. And does the fact she's not a "Dr" mean that her passion and obsessiveness is less approval-worthy?
Think about Dr Irving Finkel at the British Museum – one of the most intelligent and fascinating nutters/celebrated eccentrics out there. Who would he be, if he wasn't a world authority on his subject, and where would scholarship be without his depth of knowledge? What a shame it would be to live in a world that doesn't appreciate people like Irving and Philippa.
Best moment of the whole programme: Jo Appleby trying not to laugh when they were viewing the skellie. Hope she's not a poker player!
Always wanted to try archaeology?
Now's your chance! Our next dig is in October 2015

Relates to the hours worked by nurses.
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the labor law and the education law, in relation to the hours worked by nurses
PURPOSE: To restrict consecutive hours of required work by nurses in the home care setting except in emergencies; does not prohibit a nurse from voluntarily working overtime.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: § 1 of the bill amends section 167 of the labor law to add a facility licensed or operated pursuant to article thirty six of the public health law to the definition of Employer. Adds Regularly scheduled home care visits to the definition of Regularly scheduled work Hours. Adds Home Care visits to the existing law that no health care employer shall require a nurse to work more than that nurse's regularly scheduled work hours or home care visits.
Adds a new paragraph 3-a to define the term "emergency" in the article thirty-six (Homecare) setting to also include a situation in which unforeseen events make it necessary for an employer to require a nurse to complete regularly scheduled home care visits in circumstances where the location of the pre-scheduled visits and lack of other staffing options for coverage make it impractical to reschedule the visitor to provide alternative coverage.
§ 2 of the bill amends section 6510-e of the education law to include home care visits to the terminology.
§ 3 is the effective date which shall take effect on the same date and in the same manner as section 3 of the chapter 493 of the laws of 2008 takes effect.
JUSTIFICATION: Homecare nurses work in a demanding, stressful environment where proper decision making is a critical function of the job. In 2008, legislation to limiting consecutive hours of work by nurses in other settings was passed and signed into law. That legislation did not include homecare settings (article thirty-six). Through consultation with the home care industry this language was developed to limit the consecutive hours of work by nurses in the home care setting. Understaffing has resulted in nurses working longer hours caring for sicker, more needy patients, and, in greater need of suitable rest unscheduled mandatory overtime is an unfair, additional burden placed on a workforce, primarily female, with their own family and child care responsibilities to address. This bill would not prohibit voluntary overtime assignment, but would allow
nurses to take care of their own family needs, and their own rest needs, without concerns for charges of patient abandonment or patient neglect. This bill is intended to improve the health care environment for patients, and the working environment for nurses and their families.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: S. 5154 referred to Senate Labor Committee
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS : The use of overtime to address staffing needs has resulted in increased overtime costs. This bill should result in additional new hires at more favorable rates.
EFFECTIVE DATE: Shall take effect on the ninetieth day after becoming law.
STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________ 1673 2013-2014 Regular Sessions IN SENATE (PREFILED) January 9, 2013 ___________Introduced by Sen. GRISANTI -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Labor AN ACT to amend the labor law and the education law, in relation to the hours worked by nurses THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Section 167 of the labor law, as added by chapter 493 of the laws of 2008, is amended to read as follows: S 167. Restrictions on consecutive hours of work for nurses. 1. When used in this section: a. "Health care employer" shall mean any individual, partnership, association, corporation, limited liability company or any person or group of persons acting directly or indirectly on behalf of or in the interest of the employer, which provides health care services (i) in a facility licensed or operated pursuant to article twenty-eight AND ARTI- CLE THIRTY-SIX of the public health law, including any facility operated by the state, a political subdivision or a public corporation as defined by section sixty-six of the general construction law, or (ii) in a facility operated by the state, a political subdivision or a public corporation as defined by section sixty-six of the general construction law, operated or licensed pursuant to the mental hygiene law, the educa- tion law or the correction law. b. "Nurse" shall mean a registered professional nurse or a licensed practical nurse as defined by article one hundred thirty-nine of the education law who provides direct patient care. c. "Regularly scheduled work hours", including REGULARLY SCHEDULED HOME CARE VISITS, pre-scheduled on-call time and the time spent for the purpose of communicating shift reports regarding patient status neces- sary to ensure patient safety, shall mean those hours AND HOME CARE VISITS a nurse has agreed to work and is normally scheduled to workEXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD02370-01-3 S. 1673 2
pursuant to the budgeted hours AND HOME CARE VISITS allocated to the nurse's position by the health care employer; and if no such allocation system exists, some other measure generally used by the health care employer to determine when an employee is minimally supposed to work, consistent with the collective bargaining agreement, if any. Nothing in this section shall be construed to permit an employer to use on-call time as a substitute for mandatory overtime. 2. a. Notwithstanding any other provision of law no health care employer shall require a nurse to work more than that nurse's regularly scheduled work hours OR HOME CARE VISITS, except pursuant to subdivision three of this section. b. Nothing in this section shall prohibit a nurse from voluntarily working overtime. 3. The limitations provided for in this section shall not apply in the case of: a. a health care disaster, such as a natural or other type of disaster that increases the need for health care personnel, unexpectedly affect- ing the county in which the nurse is employed or in a contiguous county; or b. a federal, state or county declaration of emergency in effect in the county in which the nurse is employed or in a contiguous county; or c. where a health care employer determines there is an emergency, necessary to provide safe patient care, in which case the health care provider shall, before requiring an on-duty employee to remain, make a good faith effort to have overtime covered on a voluntary basis, includ- ing, but not limited to, calling per diems, agency nurses, assigning floats, or requesting an additional day of work from off-duty employees, to the extent such staffing options exist. For the purposes of this paragraph, "emergency", including an unanticipated staffing emergency, is defined as an unforeseen event that could not be prudently planned for by an employer and does not regularly occur; or d. an ongoing medical or surgical procedure in which the nurse is actively engaged and whose continued presence through the completion of the procedure is needed to ensure the health and safety of the patient. 3-A. IN THE CASE OF A NURSE EMPLOYED BY AN EMPLOYER LICENSED PURSUANT TO ARTICLE THIRTY-SIX OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH LAW, THE TERM 'EMERGENCY' SHALL ALSO INCLUDE A SITUATION IN WHICH UNFORESEEN EVENTS MAKE IT NECES- SARY FOR AN EMPLOYER TO REQUIRE A NURSE TO COMPLETE REGULARLY SCHEDULED HOME CARE VISITS IN CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THE LOCATION OF THE PRE-SCHE- DULED VISITS AND LACK OF OTHER STAFFING OPTIONS FOR COVERAGE MAKE IT IMPRACTICAL TO RESCHEDULE THE VISIT OR TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE COVERAGE. 4. The provisions of this section are intended as a remedial measure to protect the public health and the quality of patient care, and shall not be construed to diminish or waive any rights of any nurse pursuant to any other law, regulation, or collective bargaining agreement. S 2. Section 6510-e of the education law, as added by chapter 493 of the laws of 2008, is amended to read as follows: S 6510-e. Nurses' refusal of overtime work. The refusal of a licensed practical nurse or a registered professional nurse to work beyond said nurse's regularly scheduled HOME CARE VISITS OR hours of work shall not solely constitute patient abandonment or neglect except under the circumstances provided for under subdivision three of section one hundred sixty-seven of the labor law. S 3. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall have become a law.

Painted wooden canopic jars
From Egypt
25th Dynasty, around 700 BC
The Sons of Horus were minor deities who protected the internal organs which were removed during the mummification process. These were embalmed in the same way as the body, wrapped and placed in stone or wooden jars, which were sometimes kept together in a canopic chest.
Initially, the jars had plain disc lids but human-headed lids later became more common. After the late Eighteenth Dynasty (about 1550-1295 BC), the stoppers often actually represent the four Sons of Horus. Here the god Qebhsenuef (intestines) is shown with a jackal head; Duamutef (the stomach) as a falcon head; Hapy as baboon-headed (the lungs), and Imsety (the liver) with a human head.
A change took place in the embalming practice during the Twenty-First Dynasty (about 1069-945 BC).The internal organs were returned to the body cavity after being wrapped, protected by wax or clay figures of the Sons of Horus. This made the canopic jars redundant, though they were still included in the tomb as they were viewed as an essential element of a good burial. The jars were often not hollowed out and were simply dummies, though as in these examples, they were decorated and inscribed as if they were intended for use.

Footsteps of Hillary
Got your trekking pants on? Good. Fly from Kathmandu to Phakding then start walkin'. Check out Namche Bazaar, have a lil' look at old Everest, bliss out in the coolest monastery in the world, eat cake, visit Everest Base Camp.
Thank you for choosing to visit Nepal. It is a decision you can be proud of because by visiting you are helping Nepal get back on its feet after the devastating earthquake of April this year. The following trip notes reflect our itineraries before the earthquake occurred. As Nepal rebuilds, there are likely to be changes. We may not be able to visit some destinations and sights, some accommodation may be closed and some activities may not be available. We are working closely with our operations team in Nepal to finalise as much as we can.
We will be able to let you know about some of these changes in advance before you travel. Others may need to be communicated to you by your tour leader once you are already in the country. We ask all our travellers to be flexible, patient and understanding both as you prepare for your travels and while on your trip in Nepal.
Click here to view updates about the Nepal Earthquake.
From 1st January 2016 this trip name will change to Everest Base Camp. As Nepal recovers from the earthquake some itinerary changes may be necessary.
Day 1 - Kathmandu (1360m)
- Namaste! Welcome to Nepal.
- Pre-departure meeting at the hotel tonight (check with reception for and an optional group dinner in the evening. Your leader will leave a note at reception telling you where and when this important meeting will take place. Please ask a member of reception for this information.
- Kathmandu, the colourful capital of Nepal, is a fascinating blend of traditional architecture and symbols of the 20th Century. Its rich artistic and cultural heritage is evident where ornately carved balconies mingle with beautiful shrines and temples. If you arrive early we recommend you check out Durbar Square with it's temples, markets and busy atmosphere. It is also worth the climb to visit the Swayambhunath - the 'monkey temple'. Explore the network of street markets and alley bazaars and Pashupatinath. For those with a few extra days in Kathmandu, the neighbouring towns of Patan and Bhaktapur are well worth a visit.

Day 2 - Phakding (2652m)
Sitting at 8848 m Mt Everest, the highest peak in the world, is one of the greatest trekking destinations. Locally known as Sagarmatha, the mountain has long been revered as the home of the gods. First conquered by Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953, Everest has traditionally been the ultimate goal for mountaineers. On this trip you will take on the challenge of reaching the mountaineer's base camp and gain an insight into the world famous Sherpa culture. You will cross glaciers and broad plains, traverse valleys and climb high passes to reach the picturesque Everest Base Camp. Our accommodation comprises small, basic teahouses along the track. These basic but cosy remote houses are operated by the mountain Nepalese to cater for trekkers and also offer simple yet filling and delicious meals to sustain our efforts. This is a challenging trip and involves difficult trekking at high altitudes but the whole experience is simply awe-inspiring!
This is a trek that requires an excellent level of fitness as there are plenty of ascents and descents and the walking is very strenuous. The weather can be harsh in December and January, with a combination of snow and frosts.
This trip includes one or more overnight stays over 3500 metres/11500ft, where there is a genuine risk of being affected by Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). If left untreated AMS can be life-threatening. We would expect the majority of a group to notice the effects of being at high altitude, and while most will only feel discomfort, it is not uncommon for a small number of people to need extra care which will be provided by our leaders and local staff. All our trips that spend time at High Altitude follow our standard altitude safety measures.
A number of medical conditions or medications can also reduce your body's ability to acclimatise, and thus will affect your performance at altitude and make you more susceptible to AMS. If you are worried about any pre-existing condition (e.g. heart problems), or unsure of your physical ability, you must seek medical advice prior to booking. You may also wish to discuss medication such as Diamox that may help aid acclimatisation.
Please note that while we endeavour to assist all our clients in achieving their goals, there may be times your leader makes the decision to either delay or stop your ascent based on your medical conditions and AMS symptoms.
This trip is lead by an experienced English speaking local guide and two assistants who help with the daily logistics. Though you are expected to help carry your gear, there are porters provided to assist.
Details of the trip, which are subject to change due to weather conditions or any other factors outside of Gecko's control, are as follows (please note all trekking times are approximate).
Today we have a very early (approx. 6.30 am) flight from Kathmandu to Lukla (45 minutes). If the weather is good, the views of the Himalayas from the small plane are amazing! After breakfast in Lukla (2840 m), a short safety talk and an introduction to our porters, we gear up and commence our trek. Today is a fairly gentle introduction, following the milk-white Dudh Kosi River approximately three-hours to Phakding.
Overall Altitude gain between places we sleep is -190m.
(Walking time: approx 3 hours)trekking lodge or similar
Day 3-4 - Namche Bazaar (3446m)
Day 3: Today we trek 9 km to Namche (approx. 6 hours), the administrative centre of the Khumbu region. This will be your last chance to check your equipment and hire any additional gear for the high altitudes from Dingboche onwards. Namche Bazaar is also the last chance for a hot shower, yummy feast, to enjoy the local nightlife or to take to the pool hall and video parlours. Overall altitude gain between places we sleep is 830m.
Day 4: Today is an acclimatisation day where we will also visit the local museum and surrounding villages. The best way to acclimatise is to do a strenuous walk up to a high altitude then come back down to sleep. Remember - it doesn't matter how fit you are, anyone can be affected by altitude, so have a chat to your doctor before you leave to talk about the symptoms and what to expect.trekking lodge or similar
Day 5 - Khumjung (3970m)
You'll come to appreciate the tern "short walking day". Stop by the National Park Museum, Everest View Hotel and a hospital built by Sir Edmund Hilary on our way to Khumjung. Continue the ascent alongside Everest panoramas of towering Himalayan snow peaks. Perhaps visit the nearby small hospital run by Sir Edmund Hillary's Himalayan Trust. View a yeti skull at the Khumjung Monastery (if you're lucky!). Stay in a lodge in Khumjung.
(Walking time: approx 2 hours)trekking lodge or similar
Day 6 - Thyangboche (3875m)
As far as monasteries go, this one takes the cake. If you don't feel a sense of calm sitting at 3867m in Nepal's spiritual centre of Tibetan Buddhism while looking at Mt Everest, then you might be a robot. Perhaps stop off for a hard-earned coffee and cake from the Khumjung bakery. Rejoin the trail to Everest, keeping eyes peeled for Danphe Pheasant and Himalayan Thar. Enjoy views of Kantega, Ama Dablam and Everest. Stay overnight at Thyangboche.
(Walking time: approx 5 hours)trekking lodge or similar
Day 7-8 - Dingboche (4360m)
Everest is so close you could touch it. We know you're excited but pace yourself because altitude sickness can sneak up when you least expect it.
Day 6: Climb above the tree-line and trek approximately six hours covering the distance of 8 kms to Dingboche. Indulge in lunch at village of Pangboche, with the peak of Ama Dablam in the background. Overall altitude gain between places we sleep is 600m.
Day 7: Today is another acclimatisation day. Staying the night in Dingboche we take day hikes to Amadablam base camp, Nagarjun Hill or Chukkhung.
Explore the beautiful Imja Khola Valley and view the surrounding peaks.trekking lodge or similar
Day 9-11 - Kala Patar (5545m) - Base Camp (5364m)
Yes folks, it's the one you've all been waiting for - Everest Base Camp. Look out for expedition groups on their way to the summit. They're the rock stars of the climbing world (without all the groupies).
Day 9: The trek to Lobuche (4930m) is tough and covers 7 km, bringing us close to our ultimate goal! View the peaks of Taweche and Cholatse from the chorten atop the Pheriche Valley. Eat lunch at the foot of the huge terminal moraines of Khumbu Glacier. Visit a line of memorial cairns, built in memory of Sherpas and other climbers who have died on various Everest expeditions. Spectacular views of Pumori, Lingtren, Khumbutse, and, across the border in Tibet, Changtse. Overall Altitude gain between places we sleep is 490m.
(Walking time: approx 6 hours)
Day 10: Follow the broad valley that runs parallel to Khumbu Glacier. Ascend gradually to the moraines of Changri Nup Glacier. Experience the sensational sunset views from the amazing vantage point of Kala Patar. Gains views of Pumori, Nuptse, Changtse, Ama Dablam, Taweche, Kantega and Everest.
(Walking time: approx 3 hours)
Day 11: Wake early for the trek along the glacier to Everest Base Camp (5364 m). If trekking between March and May, you'll almost certainly encounter yaks and porters supplying food and equipment to expeditions. See the notorious Everest ice fall.
(Walking time: approx 7 hours)
Day 12-14 - Thyangboche (3875m) - Lukla (2827m)
Day 12: Head downhill to Dughla and enjoy a long tea break in Pheriche. Visit a trekkers' aid post. Great views of Imja Valley, Ama Dablam and Kantega. Re-trace your steps to Debuche and on to Thyangboche
(Walking time: approx 6 hours)
Day 13: Descend from Thyangboche to the suspension bridge at Phunkitenga. Cross the Dudh Kosi river and ascend to Trashinga. Grab lunch in Namche Bazaar and enjoy a final opportunity to visit the shops.
(Walking time: approx 7 hours)
Day 14: Set off on the last, steady 5 hours of the trek. Arrive back in Lukla and celebrate (or sleep off) what you've just achieved. Say goodbye to our Sherpa crew at Lukla. Get together with the rest of your group and pool your tips if you haven't already.
(Walking time: approx 5 hours)
Day 15-16 - Kathmandu (1360m)
Weather permitting we take a short early morning fight from Lukla to Kathmandu on day 15 (approx 45 minutes). We'll return to our accommodation and have free time during the afternoon for further sightseeing or shopping. Time to celebrate with a tongba (hot millet beer) and a plate of ziva (pastry fingers filled with cheese), while you relax your weary but incredibly toned legs. You've earned it.
The trip ends on Day 16, but Kathmandu has a lot more to offer those who wish to prolong their stay.
At the end of your tour please consider donating to the KEEP Porters Clothing Bank. As you will have come to realise on your tour, porters play a vital role in the tourism industry enabling tourists to visit Nepal's most picturesque and difficult terrain. The majority are subsistence farmers who travel from lower areas of Nepal to the higher elevated trekking routes to find employment. Contrary to the belief that porters are well-adjusted to the cold and altitude of the Himalayas, every year many porters suffer from a variety of illnesses such as altitude sickness, snow blindness, hypothermia and frostbite and some even die as a result. The Clothing Bank was set up in 2009 to provide ill-prepared porters with better clothing suitable for trekking in a mountain environment and reduce the number of unnecessary illnesses and fatalities which occur each year. Usually donations of used jackets and trousers/pants from Westerners do not fit Nepali porters who tend to be smaller. However donations of other clothing items such as socks, boots, sunglasses, warm gloves and sleeping bags are always welcome. Your leader can ensure that your donation is passed on. If you would like to make a financial contribution to KEEP please do so through the Intrepid Foundation and we will match your donation dollar for dollar.Hotel Shakti or similar

Justine - Australia, 21 Jan, 2014
Great trip, placed together with another great couple. Despite the cold and the level of difficulty it was great. Only suggestion you need a high level of fitness to enjoy the trek, moderate is ok but not as enjoyable.

Vincent - Australia, 13 Feb, 2014
The Trip was great. Is definitely a place to visit before you die. The tour leader was also amazing - definitely recommending Indra Kumar Rai.

Writing Through Moments of Panic
Peter Carey's new novel is a fairy tale of sorts, a fable about a duck that turns into a swan. The duck is based on an actual historical curiosity: the 18th-century French inventor Jacques de Vaucanson's famous "digesting duck," a mechanical marvel that appeared to eat and excrete grain. In Carey's treatment, the duck becomes a metaphor for the industrial revolution and humankind's dangerous obsession with technology.
"The Chemistry of Tears," out next Tuesday, takes place in London in 2010. Catherine Gehrig, a museum conservator whose co-worker and lover has died, buries her grief and begins obsessively reconstructing a strange, 19th-century mechanical bird. Along with the gears and pieces she discovers the notebooks of Henry Brandling, an Englishman who traveled to a town of expert cuckoo clock makers in Germany, where he looked for a clockmaker to build a replica of Vaucanson's duck for his sick son. The rogue builder he hired delivered a swan instead. Catherine suspects that Henry was driven insane by the project, and worries about what the project is doing to her increasingly unstable assistant, Amanda.
Mr. Carey, an Australia-born novelist who has won the Man Booker Prize twice, often writes about oddball couples, obsessives and outlaws. In his New York apartment, he spoke about his creative process. Below is an edited transcript.
This novel, like much of your work, has a strange premise that you ground in historical reality. How did you come up with the idea?
I started out being obsessed with the notion of the internal-combustion engine. My family sold cars—my grandfather and my great-grandfather were totally devoted to the combustion engine. And this also seems to be the thing totally destroying our planet. I thought it might be interesting to look at all this bright invention and look at where it's led us, because we are a very clever species but we also seem to be killing ourselves with it. I started out setting this thing in Australia, in a town called Gippsland, where my father had sold Model T Fords to dairy farmers. Then I was looking at Henry Ford. I kept on noodling around and looking at things and then I found Vaucanson's duck and I thought, there's an interesting machine. And I thought, can I have a duck being a Trojan horse that will smuggle in the idea of the internal-combustion engine?
The narrative structure of this novel is interesting. You begin with alternating first-person narratives, Catherine describing her present-day experience and Henry describing his in his notebooks, then gradually their perspectives merge and we are reading Henry's notebooks through Catherine, so there is this double layer of narrative. How did you arrive at this structure?
I begin writing this thing—I'm such a moron—I've got these two characters who can never meet, and how could this possibly work? Except that I was obsessed with it and wanted to do it. In the end, with the book written, it's obvious. They're both engaged in the manufacture of a swan. They've both touched the same thing; they're both suffering from grief. So there's this other relationship, which is the reader's relationship—Catherine is his reader—a weird and intimate relationship we form with what we read.
You've said in the past that you try to do something new in each book. In what ways is this novel a departure?
I've been vaguely conceited in thinking that every book is different from the book before, which is certainly commercially foolish. This is the third book I've written with two voices. Clearly I've got to stop doing that for a bit. Um, well, I think this book may be the most emotionally engaging book I've written.
Do you tend to know where you are going as you write, or do you wander and discover the plot as you go?
There are moments of complete panic in each book. At some stage, you fall of a cliff and you have to sit down and remind yourself what it is and why it can work and why you're writing the book. And it wouldn't be worth it if it wasn't like that.
Does that kind of approach result in abandoned manuscripts?
No, I won't do it. I always think there's nothing that can't be solved. I used to sit and write to myself: "What is this book about?" "This is a book about this and this and this." "Can somebody write this book?" And I would write, "Yes." "So why don't you do it?"
What is the editing process like for you?
I have the great benefit of being married to [editor] Frances Coady, who's a fabulous editor, one of the best in the world. She'll read things; I'll read things to her. And because she's clever, she'll go, like, what about that? A light question in the middle of the book will make me think of something. And at the end she'll say, "What do you really want?" And I'll say, the truth. At that stage she would read it very seriously with a nightmarish number of yellow Post-its...
You left Australia in 1990 and have lived in New York ever since. Do you consider yourself a New Yorker now?
I really do. And then of course people listen to me and immediately assume I'm not. There's that constant, "Where are you from?" "Below 14th street." I feel of two worlds, and New York's a good place to have your heart in two places. I love New York. I go out and get bad tempered at the crowds on Broadway and start snarling at the taxis.
What do you like to do when you're not writing?
Sleep. Sleep. And we like to go and look at art a lot. We really like to walk around the city.
Have you seen anything good lately?
I saw the most amazing Anish Kapoor sculpture, which is like a sea urchin. It's the most gorgeous exploration of external space and internal space. You have a sense of darkness and depth and a scary lack of knowing where you are. And there's a great exhibition of Wooster Street of Rauschenberg lithographs. I've always loved his work so much, his quality of inspired recklessness. There's a Picasso show uptown. It's pretty thrilling to stand there, unless there's some a— talking on his f—cellphone.
You've been mistaken for novelist Ian McEwan on occasion at book parties and literary festivals. Do people ever think he's Peter Carey?
No, it never happens that way.
What books have you liked lately?
I'm reading Michael Chabon's new book ["Telegraph Avenue"]. It sings, it's smart, it's brave. He brings to the surface a lot to do with pop culture and movies and music and videogames. It's fabulous.
Do you read reviews of your work still?
I try not to. It's stupid. It's only driven by ambition and vanity, insecurity.
Nothing good comes from reading reviews. I'm 69, so I'm almost at the stage of being able to not read my reviews. All you ever remember are the bad ones. I can still remember the words of a review written of my first book by somebody I knew who I thought had been my friend. I've had thousands and thousands of words since, lots of really lovely reviews full of praise, I can still remember that review from 1974.
What did it say?
It said, "Broken-toothed, rhythmless prose."
Why don't you quit reading them?
It's hard. Never underestimate the self-absorption of a writer.

We are very pleased to announce that Blanton's Bourbon has been selected as our September 2013 Bourbon of the Month. Blanton's Bourbon is an excellent bourbon definitely worthy of this title. You can find our full rating & review below.
Name: Blanton's
Bottled By: Sazerac
Proof: 93
Age: No age statement
Our Rating: 96%
Notes: Blanton's will greet you with a nice warm scent of brown sugar and figs. This bourbon is very smooth and mild and has a very strong taste of vanilla, caramel, and oak. The finish is smooth and lengthy with a subtle butterscotch taste. Blanton's has a somewhat higher price tag, roughly $50 dollars, but it is well worth it in our opinion. Save this one for special occasions and without hesitation always enjoy this one neat. We highly recommend picking up a bottle of Blanton's if you haven't tried it already.
History: Blanton's was named after one of the distillery's early leaders, Albert B. Blanton, who the company claims spent most of his life preserving the tradition of handcrafted bourbon. Blanton worked at the distillery for around 55 years. He was born on a farm just outside of Frankfurt, Kentucky and began working at the distillery when he was 16 years old. Over the next few years he worked in every department, and in 1912 he was appointed superintendent of the distillery, its warehouse, and bottling shop. He became the president of the distillery in 1921 and died in 1959.

I'm not an ardent observer of Labor Day (and hey, I don't work on Mondays anyway), but this year, Labor Day marks the first full year of work for me (in my chosen profession). After 25 years of school, 4 years of teaching and several months of motherhood, it was a long journey to get here. And for the most part, I really love my work. I love what I do, I love where I work and I love my coworkers.
But even now, a year in, I still don't love leaving my baby. The daycare situation has improved tremendously, which definitely helps ease my mind, but just not being there with him, knowing that he's learning new things and trying new things without me makes me sad. I hate thinking that maybe he took his first steps there and not here, or that he started using words there instead of here (we have a great arrangement so that our daycare doesn't tell us when he does anything until after we've told them, that way we never have to find out it happened there first). It's just tough because I want to soak up every experience and every moment and so leaving Eli in someone else's care isn't easy.
We have a good schedule now of work/daycare, as opposed to last year's very crazy work schedule and though my work schedule is still often a bit of a living document, the days are well for all of us. I am incredibly fortunate that I'm able to be home part time and still make all the necessary ends meet (and for the skeptics, we even have a pretty impressive savings and are paying above the minimum payment on my loans, so) because I think it's really good for both of us. It doesn't mean that we wouldn't be fine if I worked full time or stayed home full time (all though, in either situation, one of us would lose our minds, I'm pretty sure), but this is working.
I remember shortly after Eli was born, thinking that there was no way I could ever leave that tiny infant with anyone else. That I wanted to be with him every second of every day. And I still, deep down, have that feeling every time I drop him off at daycare. Eli is the most incredible person and I love every fiber of his being in a way I never knew could even exist. But I think the last year of working has been a really great thing for both of us. It has given him independence that he really needs. It has given me independence that I really need. It has made our time together more precious and I think it's made us both happier, in the long run.
My job isn't perfect, Eli's daycare situation isn't perfect, but working is good for us. And I'm glad to finally be doing what I love and what's best for all of us. I can't help but realize on a regular basis how lucky we all are.
2 Responses to "Laboring"
I could have written this (except I work full-time). I feel exactly the same way. Being a mom is hard.
I haven't had as difficult a time transitioning back to work, since grandparents are our care providers. So leaving Viv isn't quite as bad. I just generally feel like a failure. I see my daughter for 2 hours a day during the week. I don't stay late at work to get what I need to get done, so I feel like a failure there, like I'm not pulling my weight. and then, on the weekends when I finally have precious time with her, I forgo any cleaning or projects to spend time with Viv. so I feel like a bad homeowner too. Ah, good old Mommy guilt.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
There was good news and bad news last week for the Carbon High football squad. The bad news was the Dinos lost 33-6 to Uintah on Friday night. The good news was they went from a 35-member squad to one fielding 52 players in one week.
With the new addititons, nothing was quite right about practice this week for the Dinos. It was like six steps backward as they tried to pull the new players up to speed quickly and work them into the routine of the existing squad.
"Practices were disjointed and unorganized this week and we played the same way." stated Coach Paur as he attempted to make sense of the loss. "We made so many mental mistakes that we didn't make the week before. Uintah has a good team and were looking to avenge their big loss the week before and we were not prepared."
The Dinos managed to put their first points of the season up on a long pass from Blake Najera to Tyson Stevens in the fourth. Paur noted Stevens was double teamed all night on the offense and they stayed away from him and ran to the Carbon weak side when he was in on defense. Stevens will return to play tight end after trying him at fullback.
Zach Rodriguez had several good rushing yards as he carried back the kick-offs and punts from Uintah. "He will break one soon," commented Paur.
Paur also noted the play again of Lance Deeter who he always gets great play from as well as Stevens. Mostly Paur notes that the biggest weakness of this year's team is the young inexperienced offensive line. They just can't open up a hole for the running game and that makes it hard to move the ball down field.
But even as disruptive as it is to have to keep teaching new players the ropes, Paur feels like this bodes well for the long term success of the program. He plans to keep the door open to encourage new players to come out for the team.
Despite the slow start, he is still ecouraged about the season. "The story isn't over yet. The kids are going to get better quickly. I have a good feeling about this."
Next week, Carbon is away at Altamont and won't return home until September 19 when they take on Ogden.

A+: St. Lucie Mets 5, @ Dunedin Blue Jays 3
Not much exciting here in the box score.
22-year-old LHP Alex Panteliodis was ok, but not special: 5.2 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, with 5 ground outs and six flyouts.
A pair of 24-year-olds – 2B TJ Rivera and RF Travis Taijeron -were both 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Taijeron is hitting .270/.385/.482 thanks to a big May (.323/.432/.613 with 9 2B and 3 HR) but he has major contact problems, for an offensively oriented position (LF), having struck out 44 times in 41 games. Rivera, a non-drafted free agent out of Troy is hitting .300/.362/.371. He's stretched at shortstop, but makes a fine second baseman in a-ball.
A: Charleston RiverDogs 2, @ Savannah Sand Gnats 0
This one, played in perfect weather – 77 degrees at first pitch – featured a really fun pitching matchup: NYY's Rafael De Paula and the Mets' Steven Matz (pictured).
Both Baseball Prospectus and Baseball America rated De Paula as the Yankees' #10 prospect coming into this year, and he has more than lived up to the billing, leading minor league baseball in strikeouts with 73. De Paula lied about his age and identity and MLB investigated him for 16 months before finally approving his contract last year (more background here). De Paula's line actually might understate how good he was: 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 5 K. He did not allow a runner to third. I didn't get gun readings on him during the game, but he was throwing damn hard (BP had him topping out at 99 entering the season and BA at 98). Gnats' hitters could not square up his stuff. He showed both a breaking ball and a changeup with a chance to be plus. I believe I described one change on air as "unfair." The one blemish on De Paula's game: control: he's walked 19 batters in 45.1 innings. For a guy making the jump from the DSL to the SAL, that's understandable. I think he's the top pitching prospect I've seen against the Gnats this year.
Steven Matz was almost as good: 6 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 9 K, and 93 pitches and first pitch strikes to 15 of 22 batters. Matz gave up a run in the first that should never have happened and a run in the fourth that should have happened. In the first, leadoff man Taylor Dugas slapped hard one-hop single past 3B Jeff Reynolds who was drawn in against his speed to begin the inning. I thought it was a ball Reynolds should have fielded. After Dugas stole second, Matz gave up a single the other way to light-hitting SS (bust) Cito Culver to put runners at the corners with no outs. He induced a double-play grounder, but the run scored three batters into the game. In the fourth, Matz gave up a pair of triples blasted up the right-center field gap for the 'Dogs' second run. After that, he set down the final eight batters he saw in the game.
Matz was sitting at 92 mph, was 90-93 and touched 95, according to those sitting behind home plate. He worked heavily off his fastball early, before working in more sliders and changeups as the night went on. He got back-to-back strikeouts off the slider in the fifth. Many of his other whiffs were on elevated heat. The good news is that he was 1. more comfortable throwing his slider in games and 2. getting swings and misses with it. The nine strikeouts were a new season-high, tying his career high from last year in Kingsport.
C Kevin Plawecki (.356/.441/.597 – 41 games) was 0-for-2 with two walks, and has now reached base safely in 31 straight games. I asked Mets' Special Assistant to the GM JP Ricciardi before the game what else Plawecki had to prove in the South Atlantic League. Not much, he conceded, saying it was "only a matter of time" until he earned his promotion to advanced-A. I had a scout praise Plawecki's "quick release" the other day to me and he was 1-for-2 throwing out runners Tuesday.

Update, 11/10/2008: These tests have been superseded by a new set of updated tests which use the latest Vista service pack and a single hard drive. The hardware: My test system has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor running at 3.16GHz with 4GB of RAM. The only difference between XP, Vista, and the Windows 7 Preview is that Win7 is installed on an IDE hard drive, and XP and Vista are booting from SATA drives. That puts Win7 at a slight disadvantage because IDE drives are not as performant as SATA. Also: the version of Windows 7 that I'm using is the Preview release from last month's PDC conference, an incomplete, earlier-than-beta, for-testers-only edition. One can only assume it will get better (read:faster) in the final release. The test: Since I'm triple-booting the three operating systems, I used a simple handheld timer to get my numbers, starting at the "Choose your operating system" screen (which comes after the BIOS startup) and ending at the user login screen. These tests do not include the amount of time it takes to load the user's desktop, because that depends entirely on what's in your Windows startup. This is simple, pure, operating system boot here—no desktop or BIOS involved.
Here are my final numbers from starting the three operating systems on the same box and timing them:
Update, 11/10/2008: These tests have been superseded by a new set of updated tests which use the latest Vista service pack and a single hard drive.
Final result: The Windows 7 Preview boots 20.6% faster than Windows Vista, but in exactly the same amount of time as Windows XP. Because of the slower IDE drive on my test system, and the preview status of Windows 7, it's very probable that Win7 will be even faster than XP in its final releases. On a related note, only 23% of you said your computer boots up in under 30 seconds, so it sounds like "faster boot time" might be one of the less sexy but much-appreciated features coming in Windows 7.

19. Trish Adams
Senior vice president of merchandising of Target
Hiring boldface fashion designers to do lines for big-box retailers was an innovation born when Trish Adams signed on Mossimo for Target in 2001. Since 2006, she has lured the likes of Proenza Schouler, Luella Bartley, and Behnaz Sarafpour for the Go International cheap-chic lines, which are estimated to pull in $100 million in annual sales. This March, the 26-year Target vet helped launch a new initiative called Designer Collaborations—collections inspired by a designer's muse. The first: Alexander McQueen's take on a punkish British rock band, the Duke Spirit. — by Kate Rockwood

This GREAT 5-STAR episode is another of my personal favorites. Sara Worlock(Warlock?) as played by Virginia Payne sounds like such a sweet, pink-cheeked grandmotherly type-(the kind we all wished we HAD as our grandmothers but, we RARELY ever get!) Robert Dryden is GREAT as her husband,Jason. His voice sounds so crackly and aged. You would never guess from the way Sara and Jason sound that they were up anything sinister. I've heard Robert Dryden on other radio programs from the 40's & 50's and he could sound like an really old man even then. What a great voice talent! I always enjoy his roles on the episodes that I have heard so far on CBSRMT.

A coven needs the blood of a virgin to concoct a potion of health.
Lamont, 2012-12-12 14:41:56
A kindly old couple, Mr. and Mrs. Warlock, seek a border to whom they will rent a room after the departure of their previous guest. Of course, they have some standards to which their border will be held, but any young pure female virgin will do. The Warlocks want to do everything in their power to keep their guest happy and satisfied, for their plans go far beyond mere pleasant accommodations, as their name might suggest!
Houston Delovino, 2013-01-17 11:26:21
This episode struck me as a well-rounded story. The witches have a problem, the girl has a problem, they solve it for each other then it gets complicated and there is a solution. And the girl gets out alive! I enjoyed it for the story. Also, this one did seem more timeless. There weren't any glaring 1970's sayings or opinions in it, unlike the episode I had listened to right before it "The Plastic Man". I have to admit, the title is also intriguing. That has pull for me sometimes. So, I didn't suggest this as the best episode ever, it was very listenable and entertaining. Glad folks liked this episode!
S. Sanders, 2013-03-06 15:50:56
This episode had a lot of possibilities. The old witch couple, Sara and Jason, truly were, as mentioned at least twice, "ghouls." Well-acted on their parts (Dryden and Rowland, I assume). Their performances make this episode well worth a listen. I thought The actress who played Kathy was way overboard on the virginal personality, though. I do like humor in the mysteries, but this went from being spooky to a farce. The ending was just a bit too corny. I was a bit chilled by the lines the old lady used when she was giving Kathy the "medicine" near the end. "It'll settle your stomach!" This was he peak of the suspense for me; a few minutes later, the reporter/boyfriend is on the phone calling Kathy "honey" already like they'd been together for weeks. And how far out in the burbs did these folks live that they had a blacksmith foundry pouring out smoke, but the city cop can come over and bust them? Oh well.... the stolen wallet idea was clever, I'll give Ian Martin that one. This might be, IMHO, an average to slightly above average episode. Like nearly all of them, I enjoyed it and was unsure of how it would end. I liked the diversion of making the boyfriend seem somehow sinister at first. I was thinking that maybe Kathy was going be seduced and lose her virginity in NYC, after having drinks for the first time in her life, and that night, the old man would draw her blood for the elixir and wind up poisoning all the witches. Something like that.
Sue N., 2013-03-06 15:50:59
I'd not heard this one, and at the end it leaves no doubt, again, what apparently some of (in this case, Ian Martin and possibly E.G.) the RMT folks thought about witchcraft. This one had the earmarks of a program with an ending like "The real printer's devil" (which also featured Jada Rowland, as this one did) or "The summer people", but I always thought the heroine (or at least one could call her "the nice girl") in this story wasn't going to meet a similar fate. Glad scriptwriter Martin didn't disappoint.
Jesse, 2013-03-06 15:53:06
Thanks for a great pick! I enjoyed this one, though I thought at first I had heard it before... turns out it was similarly styled to The Summer People, if memory serves.
My favorite thing in the show was the clock. It had twenty-four numbers on it, like a military clock, and the young girl just happens to arrive on the scene at exactly one o'clock - which, of course, is the thirteenth hour. The clock chimes thirteen times... very nice.
While the show really didn't "grab" me in a headlock for very long (the beginning was great, but once Kathy met the reporter, it was all downhill for me), I found great excitement in the production of this tale, specifically the attention to the sound effects: the clock, the hammering out of the iron, the bubbling of the elixir, etc.
These little details paint a wonderful landscape behind the talented craftspeople who are performing. Their art is enhanced by the effects which alone often boost the image in the mind's eye.
I must admit though, that the show had an extreme jump in Act 2, where the writing became somewhat predictable and droll. Comments like "I'm going to sleep like the dead" and "it'll settle your stomach" were a bit over the top. We got it without needing to be told. Lastly, I find it interesting that here we have another episode which seems to put the religious norm in the minority. When Aunt Sarah gasps because Unlce Jason says the word "mass", I nodded lightly with a smirk on my face... typical for the CBSRMT. Of course, it IS a tale of witchcraft, so I suppose the whole Satan versus God thing is justified.
I don't like to admit it, but part of me wishes Kathy had never gone to New York. I would have found it interesting to see how the coven of witches faired with their new-found supply of virgin blood. :twisted:
All in all, a very enjoyable show. I gave this one a 4.3. Thanks again and best wishes!
Dennis Austria, 2013-03-24 19:26:22
I liked this story although nowadays the writer would probably get sued for slandering a "legitimate religion." I liked the story as is, but I think Sue had a cleverer idea for the ending.
Roger Huggett Jr., 2013-04-28 09:12:14
I agree with Dennis about the sound effects painting a good picture on this one and I had thought of Sue's ending as well. However, I had thought I had heard that Satanists (or whatever they may be called) attended a Black Mass, so I was surprised by the idea that Mass was a bad word (especially when discussing the body's resistance to being accelerated by a force and the strength of its mutual gravitational attraction with other bodies - physics). This was an okay episode, but not the best.
Alec, 2014-11-13 12:57:04
The Witchs Almanac is my favorite.

(Jun 19, 2012) On June 7, 2012, the State Council issued for public comment the revised draft Measures on the Management of Internet Information Services (Hulianwang xinxi fuwu guanli banfa (xiuding cao'an zhengqiu yijian gao), State Council Information Office of the People's Republic of China (PRC) website (June 7, 2012).) According to a circular published on the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's website, to which the text of the measures as well as an explanation of them are attached, citizens have until July 6, 2012, to submit their opinions on the draft provisions. (Text of circular [in Chinese] (June 7, 2012).)
The original Measures were adopted by the State Council on September 20, 2000, and promulgated on September 25 of that year in 27 articles; the revised draft text has 40 articles. (Hulianwang xinxi fuwu guanli banfa (Sept. 25, 2000), China Internet Network Information Center website.)
As one commentator stated, the new draft Measures "are explicitly aimed at microblog platforms and related social media following a week after the much-publicized Weibo User Pact took effect," but do not represent "a sea change" from the old rules. (New Draft Internet Regulations: The Empire Strikes Back?, CHINA COPYRIGHT AND MEDIA (June 8, 2012).) Sina Weibo, "the most popular local equivalent of Twitter in China," implemented the new management system on May 28, under the rubric of three documents – the Sina Weibo Community Pact (Trial), the Sina Weibo Community Management Regulations (Trial), and the Sina Weibo Community Committee System (Trial) (all at CHINA COPYRIGHT AND MEDIA (May 8, 2012) – whereby content requirements for Weibo posts are established and a "community committee" structure set up to assess cases of violation of the requirements. (Sina Weibo Introduces New Standards for Acceptable Content, WANT CHINA TIMES (May 31, 2012); Time for Weibo Community Service?, CHINA COPYRIGHT AND MEDIA (May 31, 2012).)
Some highlights of the revised draft Measures are:
- inclusion among the stated objectives, set forth in article 1, of "protecting national security and the public interest" and of "protecting the public and Internet information service providers' lawful rights and interests," in addition to the original two objectives of "promoting the healthy and orderly development of Internet information services" (now listed first) and "regulating Internet information service activities" (art. 1);
- reinforcement of the stated objective of protecting security by stipulating that Internet information service providers (ISPs) and access providers establish systems of Internet security and information security management, public information inspection, emergency response, and user information security management and also be equipped with security awareness measures (art. 14);
- attempted limitation of Internet users' ability "to post anonymous comments on micro-blogs and forums" by proposing that they "be required to register on certain sites using their real identity" (new art. 15; Rebecca DiLeonardo, China Government Proposes New Regulations Restricting Internet Use, PAPER CHASE NEWSBURST (June 7, 2012));
- tightened control over ISPs by expanding the licensing requirements for ISPs (arts. 7-8), adding a requirement that access providers verify the qualifications of ISPs (art. 11); extending the period for ISP record-keeping of publicized information to six months (vs. the current 60 days) (art. 16); requiring ISPs and access providers to keep a log for 12 months and also provide technical assistance to police and state security organs in their conducting of investigations (art. 16);
- demarcation of supervisory bodies in charge of Internet content: the national Internet content management authority (presumably the new State Internet Information Office established in May 2011), the state telecommunications department (i.e., the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology), the Ministry of Public Security, and other relevant departments (new art. 3);
- expansion of cooperation among the Internet information management authorities and the telecommunications, public security, and other related authorities (new arts. 23-25);
- explicit encouragement of self regulation by Internet service providers and of supervision by the public of Internet information services (new art. 5);
- prohibition of the same nine categories of content prohibited under the original Measures, but expansion of the ban on content that propagates "obscenity, pornography, gambling, violence, murder or fear or incites the commission of crimes" to include content that propagates the trade or manufacture of illegal, prohibited, or regulated products (art. 7), and expansion of the ban on content that "insults or slanders a third party or infringes upon the lawful rights and interests of a third party" to include content that counterfeits or makes use under false pretenses of the name of national agencies, social groups, or other legal persons;
- inclusion of a provision on the obligation to keep personal data confidential, and not to "sell, modify, intentionally disclose, or illegally use it" (art. 17); and
- expansion of penalty provisions (arts. 26-37).
(Management Measures on Internet Information Service: Comparison Between Existing Version and Exposure Draft, BRIDGE IP LAW COMMENTARY (June 12, 2012); see also General Office of the State Council Circular Establishes State Internet Information Office, Wang Chenren Director [in Chinese], Central People's Government of the PRC website (May 4, 2011).)

Buzz: Minaya Interested in Hiring Towers and Ricciardi
Joel Sherman of the New York Post believes that Omar Minaya is interested in hiring former Padres GM Kevin Towers and former Blue Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi, both of whom were fired by their respective teams this past weekend.
Sherman believes this could be a 'nervy move,' in that they would be arriving at a time when Minaya is on shaky ground with his own team, and could be hiring his eventual replacement.
…i think towers is a good baseball guy to have around, but why would he want to accept a lower position than he previously had… i have to think it would need to be a highly influential role and, if he eventually doesn't succeed minaya, the marriage would be shortlived…
Minaya worked with Towers on the deal that sent Heath Bell to San Diego for Jon Adkins and Ben Johnson in 2006.

VTE Risk assessment – a prognostic Model: BATER Cohort Study of young women

- and
Materials and methods
A 10-year observation period of the Bavarian Thromboembolic Risk (BATER) study, a cohort study of 4337 women (18–55 years), was used to develop a predictive model of VTE based on clinical and genetic variables at baseline (1993). The objective was to prepare a probabilistic scheme that discriminates women with virtually no VTE risk from those at higher levels of absolute VTE risk in the foreseeable future. A multivariate analysis determined which variables at baseline were the best predictors of a future VTE event, provided a ranking according to the predictive power, and permitted to design a simple graphic scheme to assess the individual VTE risk using five predictor variables.
Thirty-four new confirmed VTEs occurred during the observation period of over 32,000 women-years (WYs). A model was developed mainly based on clinical information (personal history of previous VTE and family history of VTE, age, BMI) and one composite genetic risk markers (combining Factor V Leiden and Prothrombin G20210A Mutation). Four levels of increasing VTE risk were arbitrarily defined to map the prevalence in the study population: No/low risk of VTE (61.3%), moderate risk (21.1%), high risk (6.0%), very high risk of future VTE (0.9%). In 10.6% of the population the risk assessment was not possible due to lacking VTE cases. The average incidence rates for VTE in these four levels were: 4.1, 12.3, 47.2, and 170.5 per 104 WYs for no, moderate, high, and very high risk, respectively.
Our prognostic tool – containing clinical information (and if available also genetic data) – seems to be worthwhile testing in medical practice in order to confirm or refute the positive findings of this study. Our cohort study will be continued to include more VTE cases and to increase predictive value of the model.

We cannot explain how excited we were when we received a press release detailing the launch of Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen's flawless line, The Row's new e-commerce site.
From the press release:
Reflecting designers Ashley Olsen's and Mary-Kate Olsen's interest in fashion, film, and art, the site's interactive shopping portal creates a virtual home for The Row's customers to experience and explore each season's collection in an intimate online setting. "We focused on The Row's e-commerce experience to be engaging, effortless, and as user friendly as possible," says Ashley, "It's a natural extension and next step to building The Row's lifestyle brand."
The website, which went live today, was designed by Sweden Unlimited. In an interview with Style.com, Mary Kate said of the site:
"We looked at a lot of different Web sites before we started working on our own, and we thought most of them were too loud. We wanted The Row Web site to be subdued and very direct. I think that has been a philosophy behind The Row ever since we started the line. All of the background visuals are high-res images of actual fabric swatches from our collections. We wanted the viewer to really see all of the details of the beautiful fabrics we use—washed red silk charmeuse, the scales of our python skins, our cashmere modals. We wanted it to feel like you could reach out and touch everything."
Tto be honest, we were more captivated by the beauty of the site itself then by our ability to snag our favorite high priced tee shirts online — which is good, since we have to wait until 12:00PM PST / 3:00PM EST for that portion of the site to launch. Thankfully, they're also offering up a couple sweet deals:
1. Enter the promocode SHOPTHEROW and take 15% off entire purchase. Offer expires on 8/20 at 12 Noon PST.
2. Registering your email on The Row's online store automatically enters you to win a pair of The Row leather Motorcycle Pants. Contest ends on 8/20/2010 at 11:00 AM PST.
While you wait for the shop to launch, you can browse through the collections, read more about the background of the brand, watch exclusive videos from Fall/Winter 2010 Runway, and read up on the company's up to the moment news bits. And if that's just on day one, imagine what's to come.

Five greatest GOB moments (season one) - VIDEOS
It's gonna be good times after the jump!
Here's something to start us off... Club Sauce
1. The Aztec Tomb
Michael: "So this is the magic trick huh?"
GOB: "Illusion, Michael. A trick is something a whore does for money...or candy."
We first met GOB aboard a yacht at George, Sr.'s retirement party. Of course, he couldn't help Michael pay for the party because he spent $18,000 on his new trick, er, illusion called The Aztec Tomb. Later on in the pilot, GOB tries to hide his father in the Tomb when the police crash the soiree.
2. I've Made a Huge Mistake
"Life, Dad. I killed a guy." --GOB to his father when George, Sr. asks him what the heck he's doing in prison.
But GOB's not serving a life sentence in "Key Decisions," which aired on November 23, 2003. In an effort to upstage his girlfriend Marta, an actress on a Spanish language soap opera called El Amor Prohibido, GOB stands up during her interview and announces that he'll be escaping from prison: "No shackles can hold these hands. Say that for them in Spanish."
After many attempts, GOB finally swallows the key but realizes once inside that he can't pass the key. He needs a private bathroom to do so. This marks the first time GOB says, "I've made a huge mistake." He says it again later on in the episode after he recommits himself to Marta.
3. Hermano
"You're a good man, mon frere. I don't know why I know that. I took four years of Spanish." --GOB to Michael, thanking him for helping uncover the true identity of "Hermano."
This joke about Marta's secret lover started with "Marta Complex" and was continued on in "Beef Consumme." After hearing his girlfriend on the phone with her mother, GOB realizes that she might be interested in another man. His only clue? The man's name is "Hermano." Michael, who is in love with Marta, agrees to track down Hermano and follows Marta to the set of El Amor Prohibido.
In the following episode, Buster also falls for Marta after breaking things off with Lucille Austero. Looks like three hermanos are in love with one girl. Buster also tells his hermanos that he's always wanted to get hit in the face.
GOB: "Wait, you know hermano?"
Buster: "Hermano is brother in Spanish. As in, 'Hey, hermano.'"
GOB: "Hermano means brother? Well, sounds like Hermano is about to get his ass kicked."
Buster: "Well, that's exactly what I wanted. Alright Let's get it over with."
4. The Chicken Dance
The first chicken dance! I'm including it as one of GOB's greatest moments because the chicken dance provided much laughter over the three seasons. In "Staff Infection," aired on March 14th, 2004, the siblings all wanted their paychecks and Michael started cracking down. Lindsay had to answer the phones. Buster had to work in the copy room, but since confined spaces scare him, he was moved to construction. GOB joined him at the site but then got the rest of the workers riled up and tried to lead a mutiny. Buster disagreed with his brother, saying that work is fun. GOB called him a chicken and... so was born the chicken dance. The threat ended with the brothers facing off in a real battle of chicken... not with hot rod cars, but with slow-moving construction vehicles.
5. The Disappearing Yacht
"Any magician can make a Queen of Diamonds disappear. What about a whole BOAT?" --GOB during Spring Break, "Missing Kitty"
This illusion wasn't an illusion at all. After announcing that he'll make the yacht disappear at a Girls with Low Self-Esteem filming the year prior, GOB sinks the yacht. Hey, disappearing is disappearing, right? Michael, needless to say, is appalled that GOB sunk a $700,000 yacht. He's even further scared when he finds out the George Michael could've been on the yacht. Thankfully, George Michael is safe. But poor Kitty isn't. George, Sr.'s secretary and the cooler marked "H. MADDAS" was on the yacht.
