Needed: a post-Frieden CDC
Bloomberg's nanny-in-chief was never the right choice to lead the Centers for Disease Control, much less with an actual epidemic in sight, argues the New York Sun:
…it was the former mayor of New York City who gave the nation Thomas Frieden, who is one dangerous doctor and is the middle of the catastrophe. … Because of the government's blunders in the Ebola emergency, people are starting to look a harder look at Bloombergism.
… the CDC budget has soared more than 200% since 2000 to $7 billion. The Centers, moreover, are squandering this lucre (which was seized from the American public via taxes) on regulating motorcycle helmets, video games, and playground equipment, as if any of that has anything to do with diseases. No wonder that when Ebola hits, the CDC seems to be staggering….
Mr. Bloomberg is enormously invested in this through the school of public health at Johns Hopkins. Do Americans want a cabal of left-wing, government doctors in Atlanta engineering our playgrounds, motorcycle helmets, and video games? No one plays a video game or rides a motorcycle for his health….
It is important that the Ebola emergency is starting to get people thinking about the first principles of the Centers for Disease Control.

"Global stakeholders" getting more control over internet domain names

A "Stand Your Ground" backgrounder
Decent articles on Stand Your Ground in the general press are relatively few, being far outnumbered by those that are sensationalist, axe-grinding or simply uninformed. So it's nice to be able to recommend this one by Peter Jamison in the Tampa Bay Times [via Jacob Sullum].
In other news, a United Nations panel in Geneva monitoring compliance with international human rights law has questioned a wide range of United States domestic policies, including some states' adoption of Stand Your Ground as well as lack of gun control and other offenses. "The committee is charged with upholding the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), a UN treaty that the US ratified in 1992." Another reminder that treaties have consequences, and that ratification of other purported human rights treaties, such as the Convention on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities (CRPD), would not be without public consequences relating to many domestic policies. [Guardian]
Tales of NYC tenant-security law
Although we call it "rent control," the key thing it controls is often not so much what you can charge for a lodging as whether you can ever reclaim it. This recluse successfully held out for $17 million to relinquish his moldy, squalid rented lodging at what is now 15 Central Park West. [New York Post]
P.S. But at least the U.N. likes the idea. While on the subject of legal insanity in NYC real estate: Andrew Rice, New York mag, "Why Run a Slum If You Can Make More Money Housing the Homeless?" I wrote about the epic New York City homeless-rights litigation in Schools for Misrule, and more links are here.

Four more have come in since my last round of comments:
Anakin – Tinkle Bell A beautiful toning effort. Blue suits the scene. Nice pick on shutter speed, to still leave some definition of contours in the water flow. The tilt of the horizon is the only minor niggle I can note.
George Nova Scotia – Cobequid Bay Well, George, if this is what 35mm Tri X in HC-110 can look like, I should be shooting this combination a whole lot more often. Wow. The S shaped path your eye first takes as it navigates its way through the image's foreground is a real treat. Great eye or wonderful serendipity on that feature. My 11yo son claimed that the flattened grasses in the foreground looked like a 'couch'. To him I said it would be a seat that would leave you wet if you sat there. The curch on the far shore gives a great sense of scale. Nicely done.
Ignatiu5 – Spires A nice treat. I at first thought this would be an image captured on an eastern European holiday to Russia or Turkey. Good choice of contrast when printing. I think I see a hint of the moon in the corner at the top, This tiny detail gets me away from being concerned about the hint of converging verticals seen in the spire at the lhs.
Kevin Kehler – Frozen Flowers A very tasteful application of the use of an orange filter. I will have to try this more often myself. The almost IR effect this yields, without the graininess of IR is most welcome. If the tiny part of the petal coming into the top left corner had been burned out, I think it would be a stronger image. I am not advocating burning every postcard print, but with a larger print suited to be mounted and hung this I think would help.

Date — 18 January, 2010
The Portuguese Hand-Wound (Reference 5454) is a contemporary witness to IWC's Portuguese family of watches, which has been in existence since 1939. Often when the manufacturer celebrates a significant anniversary, it presents connoisseurs with an item that further extends that particular success story. That is once again the case with this unassuming beauty, which celebrates the family's eighth decade.
The story lives on and impresses through its exceptional levels of achievement. This was already the case in 1993, when the Schaffhausen manufacturer brought the Portuguese watch from 1939 back into the present day as an outstanding example of its skill and expertise to mark the 125th anniversary of its founding. This provided the initial spark for the establishment of the Portuguese family, the most important range of watches from IWC Schaffhausen. The "IWC Vintage Collection", issued to commemorate the manufacturer's 140th birthday, was also not complete without a contemporary interpretation of this horological classic.
In 2010, the manufacturer's "Year of the Portuguese", in which this horological celebrity enters its eighth decade, the Portuguese Hand-Wound once again builds a bridge between the past and the present and adds another chapter to the story of this historic model. The manufacturer thus delights all connoisseurs of this horological beauty with two unlimited steel models. For it was in a stainless steel case with an original pocket watch movement that the first pocket watch-style wristwatch made its appearance seventy years ago.
The puristic Portuguese line, which combined a timeless, elegant design language with an ultimate degree of horological perfection even when first created, is considered by experts and collectors to be one of the very few watches which epitomizes good taste regardless of prevailing trends. Because only true values endure. Its characteristic design elements – shape of the case, size and design of the dial – are non-negotiable. As a result, it is easier to explain what distinguishes this novelty from earlier Portuguese models than what they have in common.
The Portuguese Hand-Wound in stainless steel with a black dial, rhodium-plated Arabic numerals and the characteristic feuille hands is conspicuous by its silver-plated seconds subdial with the distinctive detail of a "60" in signal red. Its sibling model with a silver-plated dial and rose gold-plated indices and hands stands out with its seconds subdial in light grey, also with a small red "60". Features common to both are the typical chapter ring in the traditional railway-track style and, as the drive mechanism, the IWC-manufactured 98295 calibre with stylistic echoes of the first Jones movements, such as the nickel-silver three-quarter bridge and the elongated index to facilitate precision adjustment of the effective length of the spring.
The manufacturer recalls its roots with these two unassuming beauties – and once again pays a compliment to that very first Portuguese watch which approached so close to the ideal of a perfect mechanical watch such a long time ago.
Founded by IWC Watches and Mercedes-Benz Switzerland, the Swiss arm of the Laureus Sport for Good foundation will auction off an IWC Portugieser Tourbillon Mystère Rétrograde Laureus Charity Night 2015 Unique Piece during the 9th Laureus Charity Night in Dübendorf next Saturday 21th of November.

Andrew Cushman here. BlueHat is back in Redmond, as BlueHat v6: The Vuln Behind The Curtain opens September 27th and 28th. Once again we have two days of great security content that covers the spectrum of issues in security. The BlueHat speakers, both leading external security researchers and internal Microsoft engineers, will pierce the security veil of virtualization and process isolation. Plus, we've got a couple of talks on Windows Mobile and more about automated exploit creation – this time using Metasploit. There will also be a talk on a DNS pinning design issue that demonstrates how Internet Explorer can turn into a VPN concentrator. All this--and talks on Office, Binary Instrumentation, Visualization and the Economics of Security! And we're pretty sure there won't be any visa issues for our invited speakers. :-)
As we reflect back on the 10 years of evolution in security at Microsoft, it's fascinating to watch the deepening of relationships between Microsoft and the security ecosystem, and consider how these relationships tie into larger, longer term initiatives. Hearing from the people doing cutting edge research helps Microsofties understand the external research community's focus and motivations, and helps us build better products and offerings.
As I mentioned in my blog entry for BlueHat v5, the goals of BlueHat are:
- To expose senior product leaders and front line engineers to the threats and attack tools and methodologies used in the real world. Take the security threat from the theoretical/intellectual level of, "I understand what a buffer overflow is", to "OMG that's what it's like." BlueHat connects with execs and engineers at a visceral level and *really* brings the message home…
- To expose security researchers (and the security community) to Microsoft engineers and business leaders… BlueHat gives us a chance to open up on our home turf and gives the researchers an opportunity to interact with all levels of the organization. They too get to experience first-hand that Microsoft does have smart, passionate engineers that do care about security.
BlueHat is unique and still a closed door conference for MS product teams, but this year we will open up a little – with info about the conference before it starts and with more info made available during the conference. Please check the BlueHat blog for current info and updates.

"WHITEHORSE, Yukon Territory — In February 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave the Army Corps of Engineers an assignment: Build a road from British Columbia across the Yukon to Alaska — in eight months, before winter sets in."
"Damage done to wildlife and the environment by illegal marijuana growers is causing great concern, especially for officials with the state Department of Fish and Game."
"Thousands of people consume fish from Washington, D.C.'s highly polluted Anacostia River, despite safety warnings."
"For the better part of a decade, Rev. David Hudson has been fighting to uncover what's polluting the water in his home town."
"Hudson moved to DeBerry, Texas, a poor, predominantly black community straddling the Louisiana border in 2002.
DeBerry lies in the heart of the Haynesville Shale natural gas development. When Hudson moved in, the area was littered with injection wells used to deposit waste from oil and gas drilling deep beneath the earth.
"The Environmental Protection Agency announced on Friday afternoon that it would review its new standards for mercury, soot and other emissions for a handful of proposed new coal-burning power plants.
The review will delay the implementation of the regulation for the new plants for at least three months while experts determine whether the emissions limits may safely be relaxed.
"A government-appointed inquiry into Japan's Fukushima nuclear crisis raised doubts on Monday about whether other atomic plants were prepared for massive disasters despite new safety rules, and delivered a damning assessment of the regulators and the station's operator."
"WASHINGTON -- After an impasse with a South Carolina senator was broken, the Senate passed a historic bill Wednesday by unanimous consent that would help thousands of sick Marine veterans and their families who were exposed to contaminated water at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C."
"Back in the late 1700s, when Baltimoreans got their water from nearby streams, springs and wells, every household was ordered to keep two leather buckets filled to fight fires. That precaution might come in handy again, as the water main break Monday near the Inner Harbor delivered a disruptive reminder to downtown businesses and commuters of just how decrepit the regional system supplying the vital liquid has become."
"Perhaps the most unsung patch of heaven in New York City is a tiny sliver of riverfront parkland tucked between a metal-recycling yard and a giant wholesale produce market, on the far side of a six-lane highway and a pair of active freight train tracks. Hunts Point Riverside Park, a 1.4-acre speck in the South Bronx, opened a few years ago on what had been a filthy, weedy street end."
Politicians touted the use of tax credits to clean up the long-abandoned Carondelet Coke brownfields site site in St. Louis and turn it into an industrial park. But corner-cutting and lax oversight meant companies would benefit and taxpayers would get a raw deal, an investigation shows.
Researchers are studying whether the chytrid fungus -- which has decimated frog and salamander populations around the world -- is being spread among wild amphibians by the release of infected animals bought at pet stores. The fungus has devastated some 200 species globally, and may be responsible for the greatest known disease-caused loss of biodiversity in recorded history.
"BARROW, Alaska — When the United States Coast Guard arrived in this remote corner of the Arctic this month to begin its biggest patrol presence in the waters north of Alaska, only one helicopter hangar was available for rent, and it was not, to put it mildly, the Ritz."

"The most expansive drought in more than a half century intensified this week and stretched further into major farm areas of the western Midwest where crops had largely been shielded from the harsh conditions that decimated yields further east."

Hi all,
I've really enjoyed the Let's Go guides in past travels elsewhere in the world, and in planning my upcoming trip found that the Let's Go Thailand book was most recently published in 2009. Given that the info for this was probably gathered in 2008 (or before), is it likely to be out of date for a trip in early 2012? I'm not sure how rapidly the dining and accommodation listings are likely to change in Thailand (i.e. businesses closing/opening). Thoughts on what to purchase?

No responses... bummer.
In case others are interested, I decided to buy Let's Go. Lonely Planet has a new version coming out soon, which will probably be everyone's go to given the updated information, but right now all the books are a few years old. I thought Rough Guide had more background info that would have been nice to bring along relative to Let's Go, but LG does a better job organizing the details about hostels/restaurants/sites that you actually need. For every listing, they have an italicized section after the description with hours, prices, transit, and other details, whereas I felt I had to work to find this info in RG. Also, the maps are slightly different in all 3 books, which I guess means there is no absolute standard map. I think all are fine choices, having spent too much time deciding. Hopefully will be a great trip!

I like Let's Go. Their books are well written. I also have a RG and a LP. The LG is whole of Thailand and the others are beaches and islands. They all have useful points but LG writing style is better. Less waffle and more to the point.

Lonely Planet is irritating. Written in an irritating style, painting a phony picture of Thailand anyway, using verbal images that would fit Thailand maybe 40 years ago but are now lost in a time warp. If I read Mukdahan again described as a "sleepy town" I'm going to puke. Yeah, 30 years ago it was a sleepy town. Time doesn't stand still though.

Cheri Bustos is in a whirlwind these days. After getting elected to Congress on Nov. 6 in a surprisingly easy victory over Bobby Schilling, she's got to find office space in Peoria, the Quad Cities and Rockford. The 17th District's congresswoman-elect doesn't yet know where her office on Capitol Hill will be.
Cheri Bustos is in a whirlwind these days. After getting elected to Congress on Nov. 6 in a surprisingly easy victory over Bobby Schilling, she's got to find office space in Peoria, the Quad Cities and Rockford. The 17th District's congresswoman-elect doesn't yet know where her office on Capitol Hill will be.
Freshmen usually get the worst offices. In 1992, freshman Don Manzullo was assigned to the attic — the 5th floor of the Cannon Building, where, if I remember correctly, Don's office window looked out on a roof air conditioning unit.
She doesn't take office officially until Jan. 3, Bustos is already hard at work, having meetings in Washington and in the district. Saturday, she was at a meeting at The District bar and restaurant as part of a "listening tour."
Last week, while in Washington, Bustos met with the leaders of Amtrak and Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. She said "the folks at Amtrak are optimistic" about finishing the work on two passenger lines in her district, one between Chicago and the Quad cities and another from Chicago through Rockford, Freeport and Galena to Dubuque, Iowa.
"I let them know they'll have an ally with me," she said.
Bustos expects the Quad Cities train service to start in 2015, and the Rockford service the following year. The passenger cars for both routes will be built in Rochelle at the Nippon Sharyo factory.
Bustos is requesting to serve on the House Transportation Committee, a popular committee on which lots of congressmen want to serve.
She also has asked to serve on the House Armed Services Committee, also a popular panel. Bustos is particularly concerned for the long-term future of the Rock Island Arsenal, a huge employer in the district.
Bustos will serve in a freshman class that "is the most diverse in the history of Congress," she said. "That means women, African Americans, Latinos. It was a proud moment for me to be on stage with all the new members, to look around and see a portrait of America." There will be at least 61 Democratic women in the new House.
Bustos said she's met with some Republican colleagues and wants to get the Illinois delegation to work together on issues that affect Illinois. And, Bustos hopes against hope that the lame duck Congress can reach an agreement that prevents the government from "going off the fiscal cliff," making deep spending cuts while enacting punishing tax increases on all income groups on Jan. 2, the day before she's sworn in.
As she did in the campaign, Bustos doesn't go along with President Obama's definition of "taxing the wealthy." He says wealthiness starts at $250,000; Bustos says no, it's more like $1 million. So, a compromise with Republicans might be to leave current tax rates where they are for joint-filing couples and sub-chapter S corporations making up to $1 million, Bustos said.
Page 2 of 2 - Bustos credited her big win Nov. 6 not to a friendly map, but to superior organization.
"We knew our polling showed us with a slight lead. But we also had hundreds of people who helped, going door to door. They made 65,000 personal phone calls in one day," she said.
"Among all Democratic candidates in the Midwest, we were number one in the number of phone calls made, and number three in the number of doors knocked on."
The campaign was expensive, too. "This was the fourth most expensive race in terms of outside money coming in" she said. Each candidate spent about $2 million each, she said, while outside organizations dumped $8 million into the race.
A shout of congratulations goes to Mayor Darryl Lindberg of Loves Park, who has been elected first vice president of the Illinois Municipal League, which lobbies the state Legislature on behalf of municipalities around Illinois.
Lindberg was elected at the 99th Annual Conference of the league in Chicago, attended by more than 1,000 mayors and municipal leaders. The new president is Scott Eisenhauer, mayor of Danville. Traditionally, the first vice president becomes the president the following year. So look for Lindberg to head the influential group next year.
I asked Lindberg Wednesday how he intends to use his new position.
"I think probably the most important thing is that the municipal league represents nearly 1,100 communities, all facing similar challenges. This position will give me more access to others who are facing the same issues," Lindberg said.

City Council took a key and controversial step Tuesday in extending benefits to the partners of gay municipal employees.
The move followed pleas for and against the motion by gay and straight members of the Asheville Police Department, civic leaders, ministers and others. Passions ran high with police at one point removing a speaker from the council chambers, which was filled to capacity with 70 people.
The council voted 4-2 to have city staff report March 9 on how workers' same-sex domestic partners could get the same benefits as heterosexual employees' spouses, including health ...

Stuff is where it ought to be. The shutter is way too quiet. But the meter display goes off when it completes, so I use that as notice my shot is made. The lens is everything you'd expect. I have been overcome by family and have only those shots which I don't usually post. Next week I will be out working.

Sure, I'll bite. I work as a fire fighter/EMT. Here are some of my Peaves.
When I roll up in front of the Highrise building, with loud alarms coming from every corner of the building, and make my way to the 12th floor, Please don't poke your head out the door and ask me if there is a fire. The alarms are ringing......The Fire Dept. is there.....you should not be. Please evacuate your suite.
If there is a fire in a house and we are fighting it from the outside with a hose line. Please don't scream at me and point to where the fire is..........I have been doing this for 12yrs. I am a professional, I know what fire looks like.
If you call 911 and ask for help, don't be beligerant to the people there to help you. They really are there for your well being.
And my favorite. If you see a really large red truck truck in your rearview mirror. One that has 20 different strobe lights and a airhorn. And it is trying to get past you. Please pull over to the right and slow down. This may come as a surprise.......but the people we are on our way to see are more important than you being in the left lane to make your turn 4 blocks up.

Earth-touching articles from TricycleMara is tired and cranky. The demon tempter has tried everything in his power to prevent this sitting man from attaining his goal, and now he's finally out of tricks. In a desperate last hurrah to stop Siddhartha he sputters: So you think you're going to wake up, do you? Go on then, become a Buddha. Who cares? Who is here to vouch for your achievement? I demand to know, wise guy: who will be your witness? Siddhartha—under the Bodhi tree, who at this very moment is becoming the Buddha—says nothing. In what has got to be the best possible response to Mara's harassment (it gives me gooseflesh!), the Buddha silently reaches down and touches the earth with his fingertips. Boom. Rivers roar, flowers bloom, and the mountains walk. The earth bears witness. More »

Thich Nhat Hanh: Your Heart is like a FlowerAs the author of Living Buddha, Living Christ, Thich Nhat Hanh has always been adept at making his teachings familiar for a Western audience. In this recent dharma talk, given at Dharma Cloud Temple in Upper Hamlet, Plum Village, Thich Nhat Hanh speaks in depth about "the Kingdom of God." Rather than understanding the Kingdom as a place reached after death, Thich Nhat Hanh says that by opening our hearts to the moment we can "touch the Kingdom" here and now. From the talk: It's springtime now and if we observe we see that there are so many wonderful things manifesting. And if you look at these flowers and ask, where have they come from? They may tell you that they have come from the Kingdom of God. More »

Tibet Earthquake Emergency ReliefFrom Tibetfund.org, We are very sad to report that hundreds have died and an estimated 10,000 mostly ethnic Tibetans were injured and left homeless in near-freezing temperatures in the aftermath of the earthquake that struck a sparsely populated region of Tibet in the early hours of April 14. More than 85 percent of the houses in Jiegu, a town of 100,000 people nearest the epicenter, were destroyed. Because solid information is still emerging from officials working in the area, it is difficult to know how many remain buried in the rubble. Most of the people in the region are Tibetan herders and farmers who are in immediate need of shelter, medicine, clothing and other necessities. More »

My dad left when I was 1, and contacted me all or a sudden when I was 15. We met and after that I never saw him again. A couple of years back, when my name started to be known in Venezuela, he asked to be my friend on facebook. I grew up with my mother, and we never had any money for more than rent and food. She was working hard and I was also working when I wasn't in school. Together we gained about 150$ USD per month. My weight when I was 16 was 97lbs and it wasn't because I wanted to stay slim. No, I loved food! It was simply because we could barely afford any food just to stay alive! 6 GLAM JAM JANUARY 2013 GLAMJAMMAG.COM COVER GIRL COVER GIRL 8 GLAM JAM JANUARY 2013 GLAMJAMMAG.COM ' ' PLAYBOY VENEZUELA WAS AFTER ME FOR TWO YEARS. I HAD TO REFUSE. THE MAIN REASON WAS THAT I DIDN´T LIKE THEIR PHOTOGRAPHERS. I THOUGHT THE PICTURES IN THE MAGAZINE WERE OF VERY BAD QUALITY SO THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GONNA LET THEM PUBLISH NUDE PHOTOS OF ME. GLAM JAM JANUARY 2013 GLAMJAMMAG.COM 9 COVER GIRL THE MODELING EXPERIENCE I did have some hopes for a modelling career already back then. I participated in a competition, one out of many in Venezuela. I did pretty good I think, but to get to the second round, there was a fee of 20$ USD. That was too much for me, so that was the end for my modeling career and I decided to never try modeling again. I graduated and started working, my economy got better. Finally I could afford to eat meat and chicken, I went to the gym and I started to get a body to be proud of. Still I didn't think I was anything special, but at a beach party a photographer offered me a free test shoot. I was not interested but after a while I decided to go for it. About 3 months later, I was on the cover of one of Venezuela's biggest magazine. That was a quite strange feeling. I took more photos with more photographers of good or bad quality, but I managed to get more printed. So I decided to leave Venezuela to try more international. So until now, I have been living and modelling in Spain, Sweden, Italy and USA. This is my 13th cover and feel I have just started. The myth says it´s a dirty business, and it for sure is. It´s pretty impresive to see how many scams there are out there. I have been contacted by many agents and photographers stating they have contacts here and there and they need photos, preferably nudes, to pass forward to important people. So rule number one: if someone contacts you from a hotmail or Gmail and claims to be working for a big company, it´s something strange. The worst trick was before I did the Playboy cover. A guy writes to me from a playboy.com address, saying he has seen me and can get me into Playboy. Playboy is big, so I considered it. And I thought: Why not? So pushed reply and attached a few nudes. But, right before I pushed send, I saw that when I pushed reply, his playboy.com address changed to a yahoo.com address. Still today I have no idea how he did that. I contacted Playboy to see if they had anyone working there by his name, and they did not. Many times I have been contacted to do 2 hours shooting for lingerie or fashion for 500USD/hour. Now, as a new model these types of jobs don´t exist. Remember: if it seems to good to be true, it is. 10 GLAM JAM JANUARY 2013 GLAMJAMMAG.COM I have also been offered to be in a music video of one of the biggest, award winning male artists in the world. His manager contacted me, and seemed pretty serious. But before the video, the artist wanted to see me, and to send some more private mobile photos. I have not, and never will, go the dirty way so I bailed out. You will for sure get many suggestions to pose nude, and it´s all up to you. I did it once for Playboy only, but that was the last time. I will ever pose nude again. Why you might ask? Well, just because I feel I don´t need to. You have to think a little bit about what you actually want with your carrer. Also, if you pose nude and post it on pages like ModelMayhem.com, 95% of the photographers contacting you are doing it just to take nudes. Once nude, always nude. I have made very clear that I don´t do it anymore. Well, implied works, but not more than that. FITNESS & DIET As I said before, my weight was down to 97 lbs. And I hated my body. I was so very thin, I felt like a walking skeleton. I never wore high heels because it made my already thin legs look even thinner. And the ideal in Venezuela is the more curves, the better. But with slightly better economy, I could eat and go to the gym and I got happier with my body. I went two to tree times per week and I just did legs. In the beginning, I could not load a single disc in the leg press. I could hardly do a set of ten without any weight, and my legs felt like spaghetti. But slowly my butt got bigger, my thighs and calves got better shaped... I felt great! I started to gain some weight. And I did just legs because that was my only goal, and I felt that if I start working out my upper body I will look like the masculine ladies at the bodybuilding competitions. I started to hang out with one guy from the gym, and he became like my personal trainer. He showed me how to work out the whole body, made me a complete program, and told me what to eat and not to eat. It was some boring weeks, but after a while I saw result in the mirror and it became fun! Nowadays I have developed the upper body very much compared to before, and I´m trying to match my big legs, but it´s hard. Today I need 650lbs in the legpress to even feel the slightest soreness the day after. I have become a happier person, I love the life dedicated to fitness and my goal was the cover of Playboy... Now when that´s done, my goal is to compete in IFBB. GLAM JAM JANUARY 2013 GLAMJAMMAG.COM 11 COVER GIRL 12 GLAM JAM JANUARY 2013 GLAMJAMMAG.COM COVER GIRL Photo: Moises Uriarte (Moezart Photography) GLAM JAM JUNE 2012 GLAMJAMMAG.COM 13 COVER GIRL PLAYBOY COVER Playboy Venezuela was after me for two years. I had to refuse. The main reason was that I didn't like their photographers. I thought the pictures in the magazine were of very bad quality so there was no way I was going to let them publish nude photos of me. So when I was in Italy, I started thinking. If I´m going to be in Playboy, I want to feel proud of it. It has to be something I can show my future grandchildren! So I decided to take a risk. I made it to my own production. I invited the best photographer I had worked with to Italy, and we took some amazing shots. A couple of months later, I went to the main office of Playboy, gave them a pen-drive with the photos and told them that this is what I can offer, but this can only be published if you can guarantee me the cover. It took him more or less 3 seconds, then he handed me the contract and wrote a surprisingly big cheque. Unfortunately I was not in Venezuela at the time of the release so I never saw myself in the news stand. I was actually in Disneyland, a dream I have had since I was a kid, so when I was walking in one of the parks, Playboy sent me the cover to my iPhone and I saw it for the very first time there. That must have been the happiest day of my life. The bottom line is, dreams can come true if you are willing to work very hard to achieve them. e l l e h c i M oxo x STATISTICS AGE: 27 HOME: Miami, FL (US) ETHNICITY: Venezuelan, Colombian, and Italian HEIGHT: 5' 7" MEASURMENTS: 38-25-36 14 WEIGHT: 116 lbs OCCUPATIONS: Model GLAM JAM JANUARY 2013 GLAMJAMMAG.COM GLAM JAM JANUARY 2013 GLAMJAMMAG.COM 15 STATISTICS VIAGE: 24 HOME: Seattle, WA (U.S) HEIGHT: 5' 4" WEIGHT: 125 lbs OCCUPATIONS: Student/Receptionist 16 16 GLAM JAM JAM JANUARY APRIL 2012 GLAM 2013 glamjammag.com GLAMJAMMAG.COM T T E L R A C S E E N E R PHOTOGRAPHY: SAM RAMBO, RON IN PHOTO AND DESIGN ' ' I LIKE A MAN WITH CONFIDENCE, HUMOR, STRONG ARMS… AND A FEW TATTOOS NEVER HURT 18 GLAM JAM JANUARY 2013 GLAMJAMMAG.COM QA & WITH SCARLETT HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED WITH GLAMOUR MODELING ? A little by accident, to be honest. When I went to my first shoot, I was never planning on being a model or pursuing it in any fashion. I was curious and looking for a hobby to fill my down time. My first shoot was not good, and I was gun shy about doing sexy shoots for a long time. Eventually I started shooting sexier themes and meeting some great photographers, and it's continued from there into something that I'm very passionate about. WHO INSPIRED YOU IN BECOMING A GLAMOUR MODELING ? Various photographers, with whom I've consistently made great glamour sets with, have been key in giving that confidence I needed to keep putting myself out there. HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN SUCH AN INCREDIBLY SEXY BODY? I've always been small, but I've also always lived a fairly active lifestyle. I'm no gym rat or health nut but I do what I need to do to stay fit. I don't snack or drink sugar drinks like soda and energy drinks on a regular basis. I do a lot of cardio and prefer to work with medicine and exercise balls in the gym. I also love to hike in the summer months. WHAT PART OF THAT SEXY BODY ARE YOU THE MOST PROUD OF? My legs. I'm not the tallest person on the world but I keep them toned and lean which can help me look taller in photos. TELL US ONE UNUSUAL OR UNIQUE THING ABOUT YOURSELF THAT OTHERS MAY NOT KNOW. I dump the water out of ramen noodles and mix them with mayonnaise. Apparently this is a gross habit, so my friends tell me. WHAT IS THE MOST ADVENTUROUS THING YOU HAVE DONE? Working in East Africa, by far, has been an incredible adventure, albeit difficult at times. WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE GOALS IN THE GLAMOUR INDUSTRY? I would love to make the cover of a print magazine, become a brand model, and I hope to do a lot of events like liquor promotions when I come back to the states.

THE DISORDER IS CHARACTERIZED BY A SERIES OF OBSESSIONS, WHICH ARE REOCCURRING THOUGHTS, OR FEARS, THAT CONSTANTLY PERSIST THROUGHOUT A SINGLE DAY. COMPULSIONS ARE ACTIONS, OR THOUGHTS, THAT THE INDIVIDUAL PERFORMS TO BRIEFLY RELIEVE THEIR OBSESSIONS. Obsessions are thoughts that recur and persist despite efforts to ignore or confront them. People with OCB frequently perform tasks, or compulsions, to seek relief from obsession-related anxiety. OBSESSION ABOUT YOUR BODY When it comes to any type of modeling the first sign of compulsive behavior relates to a model's body. I can't even begin to count the number of models I have met over the last ten years who have all displayed some type of Obsessive behavior about their look. As an example, I have met numerous fitness models who have this problem. While to most common women they will look in shape and perfect, some of these models still see themselves as being overweight or having problem areas, when they clearly don't. They are very obsessed with how their body will look and most of the decisions taken will revolve around this obsession. Their diet and training regimen may seem very obsessive to some as everything they do is micromanaged and repetitive. This is clearly not an enjoyable way to live the only life you have. In many cases, this obsession of the body will prevent an individual from doing something they always wanted. When it come to modeling, you need to be realistic. It doesn't only revolve around the look anyway, as your personality is just as important. Being obsessed about your body actually is a negative aspect of that personality. OBSESSION FOR SUCCESS Other instances of OCB can arise when a model is obsessed with obtaining success at all costs. What happens in this form is that the model will seek out success by any means necessary. Some of these being negative. For instance, talking behind the back of people, bringing others down in order to increase one's own reputation, can all be signs of obsessive behavior in the attempt to achieve success. UNDERSTANDING THE BUSINESS The glamour modeling industry is not exactly like you would expect from the fashion industry. It is highly competitive and compulsive behavior is more common. Everything revolves around beauty and sex appeal. You need to know if you are really up for it Psychologically. ACCEPTING REJECTION This is probably one of the most important aspects of OCB. Everyone dislikes being rejected from something they wish to accomplish, but at times reality of one's lack of talent needs to set in. Being obsessed about being a cover model is unhealthy if you do not have what it takes. It is a sad reality that needs to be accepted with a positive light. The best way to see rejection is to look at it as this - Hey, at least I tried and gave it my best. Move on!

I was pretty shy and unconfident those days...Never thought I´d get involved with glamour but there´re very strict rules in Europe with fashion modeling so I had to find some other genre that suited me. HOW DO YOU MANAGE TO MAINTAIN SUCH AN INCREDIBLY SEXY BODY? I try my best to maintain this figure mostly with outdoor physical activities. WHAT PART OF THAT SEXY BODY ARE YOU THE MOST PROUD OF? I love my whole body…but I prefer my legs, butt and breast. Especially my eyes on whose my brand has been built (one smaller eye) and used along with my name "Claire Muzik - music for the eyes". I´m grateful even though I was able to start my modeling career despite my weakest link. TELL US ONE UNIQUE THING ABOUT YOURSELF THAT OTHERS MAY NOT KNOW. My eyes I guess which have came through many obsticles during my life and I´m really grateful for that I´m still able to see the world properly. Also my webbed toes the same like Ashton Kutcher.

Walking into the heart of the Grand Canyon spending a night in there without any gear with me just laying on the ground around all those venoumous snakes, scorpions, wolves and big frogs.o) Best adventure ever! WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE GOALS IN THE GLAMOUR INDUSTRY? To become one of the most seen models worldwide. There´re still plenty of goals left I wouldn´t have been motivated without.

Royce Reed Returns To "Basketball Wives"
Despite stating that she will not be returning to Basketball Wives for its fourth season, Royce Reed is hightailing it back to the bright reality TV lights. The mother of Dwight Howard's son announced her change of heart via Twitter and promised to portray "a different side of me." Maybe we'll get a peak at Royce's acting career or maybe even see her acting like a mom? Either way, hopefully Shaunie O'Neal had those "several conversations" with all the cast members in order to clean up the overly-dramatic series. We shall see.

Considering it was his wife, I think slack should be cut. Even Sisko said he would have done the same thing. I can't imagine a man, unless he were some psychopath, abandoning his wife and letting her die.
I understand why he did it, but thinking about the number of deaths is still staggering.
Reminds me of when Riker DIDN'T abandon the planet the Enterprise was trying to save in "Final Mission", to search for Picard and Wesley's crashed shuttlecraft. He wasn't even ordered to help the planet.
But Starfleet were idiots sending a husband a wife together on such an important mission. Even real life military today doesn't do it because it is such a bad idea.

Can Tech Ruin the Kim Pham Murder Trial?
By Charles Lam
Murray called Hubbard as a key witness, but she hired a lawyer to fight testifying. She threatened that she would exert her Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination if questioned. Murray trumped her. He forced her to the witness stand by granting her immunity from prosecution.
During a prior, secret grand-jury hearing, Hubbard had first denied, then admitted to, having a sexual relationship with Smith. But she contradicted that testimony when she took the witness stand late last month. Murray asked her to describe her relationship with Smith. "He's my brother," said Hubbard, who is not related to the defendant.
Murray asked if she had had a sexual relationship with Smith. Hubbard's face grew animated as if stung. "No," she declared.
This exchange followed:
Murray: Do you recall your grand-jury testimony?
Hubbard: Yes
You testified that you did have sex with him?
What's the truth?
Keller' who had failed in pretrial motions to bar the prosecution from raising infidelity issues'Äîobjected for the jury, but Superior Court Judge Daniel B. McNerney ordered Hubbard to answer.
"I'm not sure of your definition [of sex]," Hubbard said to Murray. "Can you explain?"
Hubbard had resisted Murray's question at this point for more than five minutes, and he'd grown testy. She'd taken seven, eight or nine seconds to answer simple "yes'" or "no'" questions. Murray stood upright, shook his head, pointed both hands in her direction and said slowly, "Did you ever have any sex with Mr. Smith?"
"No," said Hubbard, who then babbled incoherently, without a question pending, about her mother, her father, her own husband and a 2001 trip to the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas. She finished with a declaration that made several jurors go bug-eyed: "It [Smith's penis] wouldn't penetrate!"
To impeach Hubbard, Murray subpoenaed Wendy Davis, another one of Smith's mistresses. Davis testified that Hubbard and Smith had a sexual relationship. Murray asked her how she knows. "'Cause I seen them having sex," Davis replied. "I walked in on them in 2000. . . . The lower parts of their clothes were off, and they was engaged in sex."* * *
During the same encounter when he stood coolly in his dead wife's dried blood, Marvin Smith gave McShane the following account of his return home the evening of the day of the murder:
At 6:30 p.m., Smith parked in the driveway. He usually entered the house through the internal garage entrance. However, on this night, he said, he walked to the front door. The claim is critical in the case because Smith's story would disintegrate if he'd seen his wife's white 1999 Lexus sedan parked in the garage.
At the front door, he said, he noticed the shade down. "It comes down automatically at 2 p.m. in the afternoon, and it goes back up at 8 o'clock in the evening," Smith told McShane. "So if my wife is home, uh, then the shade is up. . . . So when I pulled up and I saw the shade down, I knew she wasn't home."
"Okay," McShane said.
"When I get here [the front porch], if, if my wife is home, there's a light on in the family room. The TV's usually on when my wife is home. . . . So I know she's not home. Well, I put my, my key in there. I, I know it's locked. I know. I know. I, I think it's locked. I didn't even try. I just put my key in there and turned it, and I just knew she wasn't home."
"Okay," McShane said.
"When I walk in, I notice the burglar alarm's not on. It's dark. No lights in here . . . I went directly to the kitchen, turned the light on, and then I saw a drawer was out, half-open. So I'm wondering why she left that drawer open, and so I knew she left in a hurry or something like that. . . . I saw the clay pot. Now, what in the world is that pot turned over. Then I saw the [breakfast nook] window open. I, I, oh, oh, somebody's been here. Somebody's in here! I said, I got to get out of here.' I said, I, I got to get out of here 'cause somebody's in here,' and so I turned around, and I said, Let me get out of here.' I turn around. I go back out this way same way [to the front entrance] I came in. I saw a light flash upstairs, and I made about four steps up. Then I heard somebody talking. When I heard somebody talking, I knew somebody was in here, I got to get out of here. I went back down and went out the door and called, called the police."
Smith ran to his GMC truck, and, though he claimed he believed a burglar was in his second-story bedroom, he grabbed a cell phone to report a burglary, but not the .45-caliber handgun that was also in the truck's center console. He didn't call his wife while he waited for police to arrive.
Later, Smith's pre-arrest recounting of events gave McShane and Murray plenty of fodder: If Smith saw flashes of light and heard voices when he began to flee through the front door, why hadn't he seen those same conditions when he entered at the same spot in the dark house?

Selling cars isn't what I thought I'd be doing at this juucrnte in my life, but that is nonetheless where I find myself, and art is one of the things that makes it a pleasure. The cars I sell (being from Europe where the art comes from) happen to be beautiful. The clients I sell them to love them for that, the way I do, and it gives us something to come together over. Conversely, the clients I don't sell them to can't see it, and I take pleasure in that too. It's not that I'm an elitist (or maybe I am). It's just that it's nice to know that a beautiful object can exist in this world as its creator wanted to, and continue to exist in defiance of mass taste. The Rothko painting doesn't burst into flames because of some idiot's snickering, and the cars I love don't vanish from the market just because so some people can't see beauty in simplicity. In its obstinate omnipresence and durability, art reassures me that truth is always present, even in the most absurd of circumstances.
