Safety 'trumped profit', Pike directors say
Relevant offers
An attempt by former directors of Pike River Coal to shift blame onto their underlings by denying the Royal Commission's findings is "disgraceful", the union which represented workers at the now-defunct mine claims.
Engineering Printing and Manufacturing Union claimed the lack of accountability shown by the directors was evidence of the need for creating a corporate manslaughter law "to refocus their minds" on the consequences of their actions.
The commission's report released earlier this month said the company paid too little attention to safety in its drive to produce coal.
In a statement released through their lawyers today, former Pike River directors John Dow, Ray Meyer and Stuart Nattrass said they strongly disagreed with the commission's findings and its decision not to allow them the chance to reply to late-called witnesses at the hearings into the November 2010 disaster which claimed the lives of 29 men.
Health and safety issues criticised by the commissioners were operational matters that were not passed on to the board despite several opportunities, they said.
Engineering Printing and Manufacturing Union assistant national secretary Ged O'Connell claimed the directors were passing the buck and it showed the necessity of mine safety reform.
"For these three men to refuse to accept any responsibility for the 29 men who died under their watch and to then try to sheet home blame to the people below them is simply disgraceful," O'Connell said.
In his view there was no doubt the company put production ahead of safety with several concrete examples in the commission's report.
"The Pike River inquiry heard repeatedly how the company these men ran refused to listen to workers, excluded the union at every opportunity and created a culture where workers learned not to speak out for fear of being disciplined, O'Connell claimed.
The directors' "out-of-touch" comments were an example of why the country needed stronger mining regulations, and well-resourced independent inspectors, he said.
The directors' statement said the suggestion that profit was put ahead of safety at the mine was "conjecture" and clashed with the evidence put to the commission.
"Despite the considerable amount of evidence made available to it, its report does not identify any particular circumstances, or any documents, in which a safety requirement was not met for financial reasons or because it might have impacted on production."
Contrary to the commission's report, safety and training manager Neville Rockhouse, who was one of the first managers appointed by Pike River, started with a comprehensive health and safety manual, rather than "a blank sheet of paper", the directors said.
That appointment underscored the company's commitment to worker safety, they said, and the Rockhouse's experience gave them "considerable comfort" that safety was being adequately managed.
Parts of the safety regime criticised by the commission had been managerial matters that had not been taken to the board despite opportunities to do so, they said.

Nation-Building for Australian ProgressivesAffronted by the xenophobic nationalists who stalked the land during the Howard years, many progressive Australians have rejected a love of country, forgetting that there is a patriotism of the liberal left that at different times has advanced liberty, egalitarianism, and democratic citizenship.

Browns 27, Packers 24
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Jake Delhomme's Cleveland Browns debut was a smashing success. No one was happier than Josh Cribbs.
Delhomme led the Browns to a touchdown in his only drive and Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers threw one of his own in Cleveland's 27-24 win on Saturday night in the exhibition opener decided on Phil Dawson's field goal as time expired.
"It's preseason, it doesn't count. But hey, everybody has a smile on their face," Delhomme said.
Cribbs certainly did. At times last year, he seemed like Cleveland's only offensive weapon in a 5-11 season. Against the Packers, he didn't touch the ball.
"I wanted to sit back and put my hat on and watch," Cribbs said. "I was just amazed at how quick he picked up on the offense and how he just was boom-boom-boom through his reads. You see the veteran play in him. It's very promising."
Delhomme went 6 of 7 for 66 yards, including a fourth-and-1 flick to Mohamed Massaquoi for 12 yards that set up Jerome Harrison's 4-yard TD run. Backup Seneca Wallace added two touchdown passes.
"Everybody offensively did a great job. From what I saw last year on film, it's totally different. They're very eager to get better," Wallace said. "We're moving in the right direction and that's what you want, a lot of guys who want to get better."
Rodgers was similarly efficient, reading a corner blitz for a 25-yard TD pass to Greg Jennings. He finished 12 of 13 for 159 yards, but the Packers lost starting running back Ryan Grant after a hit to the head.
"When you can throw the ball to the kind of guys we can throw it to, it's going to be just on me to be accurate," Rodgers said. "We're always talking about rhythm on offense, and the play calling I really felt like got us into a good rhythm."
Rodgers completed his first 10 passes, beginning his streak after Grant left. Grant fumbled on his first touch that Cleveland converted for a touchdown before being hit hard on his third carry by Chris Gocong and Robaire Smith.
He stumbled badly getting to his feet and did not return.
"Did it look like I got stung a little bit?" Grant asked, laughing. "If it was the regular season, I definitely would've tried to get back in the game (even) with all the head stuff going on, how they handle that."
Cleveland's hopes to improve begin with the 35-year-old Delhomme, who signed after his release from Carolina. His last year with the Panthers was one to forget with 18 interceptions and three lost fumbles in 11 games.
New Browns president and former Packers coach Mike Holmgren watched the game in Cleveland while recovering from surgery on his right foot. No doubt he was pleased with Delhomme's play and that of Dawson, who nailed a 58-yarder with 1:27 left and the 46-yarder to end it.
The Packers have been embracing high expectations early this season despite their defensive questions. The unit allowed 45 points in a first-round playoff loss to Arizona and is missing key contributors like linebacker Clay Matthews (hamstring) and cornerback Al Harris (knee).
"We're not happy at all," Charles Woodson said.
The prolific offense keeps making up for it.
Rodgers found Jennings after changing the play when he correctly read a corner blitz and tossed a perfect pass over Browns safety T.J. Ward that made it 14-7. John Kuhn tied the game on a 3-yard TD run on Green Bay's next drive.
Browns third-string quarterback Colt McCoy, the former Texas star who won more games than any other quarterback in Division I history, began his pro career midway through the second quarter. His night ended like his college career did, a trip to the locker room for tests. This time it was after banging his hand on the back of a teammate's helmet.
Head coach Eric Mangini said he didn't believe McCoy's injury was serious, but they pulled him as a precaution.
That was the only downer for the Browns this night.
"Coach, in meetings he had, he had all the new guys stand up. It was almost the whole team," Cribbs said. "We're not the old Browns, we're a new team, refreshed -- new quarterback, new president, new everything and we're ready to play some football."
Game notes
McCoy finished 5 of 10 for 25 yards with two interceptions against the Packers. He added 25 yards scrambling from trouble. ... Browns backup NT Titus Adams (shoulder) left early in the second quarter. ... Browns WR Jonathan Haggerty (foot) left in the third quarter and did not return. ... Packers TE Tom Crabtree (hand) went in for X-rays. ... Neither coach had updates on any of the injuries.

Basic gamepad that does the job,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Logitech Precision Gamepad (Personal Computers)
I have to admit that I went for this item because it was cheap and I generally regret paying top dollar for game controllers that break within months of being purchased. I've had this gamepad for a couple of months now and it's taken a fair amount of abuse, but best of all it still works!
Don't be deceived by its flimsy look and feel, it seems to be well made and stands up to aggressive use.
As you'd expect for a USB controller, you simply plug it into an available USB port and it is detected by the operating system automatically. It's ready to be used within seconds.
For those that require a gazillion buttons then this is not for you, it just has the four shoulder buttons (which I need), a directional pad with four buttons and two extra control buttons in the middle (for pausing games, starting games etc). There are no analog sticks or throttle controls.
I have given this product four stars simply because I wasn't blown away by it. It does feel a bit lightweight, like it's about to break, although that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Most of all, it does the job for which it was intended without any fuss, and no more and no less.

Sadr followers storm into Baghdad's Green Zone, political crisis deepens
By Saif Hameed and Stephen Kalin BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Hundreds of supporters of Shi'ite Muslim cleric Moqtada al-Sadr stormed into Baghdad's Green Zone and entered parliament on Saturday after Sadr denounced politicians' failure to reform a political quota system blamed for rampant corruption. The protesters, who had gathered outside the heavily fortified district housing government buildings and many foreign embassies, crossed a bridge over the Tigris River chanting: "The cowards ran away!" in apparent reference to departing lawmakers. There were no reports of clashes with security forces.
Britain's Labour Party launches anti-semitism inquiry
By David Milliken LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's opposition Labour party has launched an inquiry into how to tackle anti-semitism after suspending former London mayor Ken Livingstone days before it contests elections in London, Scotland and Wales. Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn - a close ally of party veteran Livingstone - said in a statement that he would propose a new code of conduct explicitly banning anti-semitism and other forms of racism. "There is no place for anti-semitism or any form of racism in the Labour party, or anywhere in society," he said.

Hedge fund managers Crispin Odey and Paul Marshall say Brexit would help London
By William Schomberg and Guy Faulconbridge LONDON (Reuters) - More than 100 executives from Britain's financial services industry, including hedge fund managers Crispin Odey and Paul Marshall, have signed a letter backing Britain's withdrawal from the European Union, the main Brexit campaign group said on Friday. In a letter released by the Vote Leave group ahead of a June 23 referendum, the City bosses said getting out of the EU would help strengthen London's position as the only financial capital to rival New York. The investors said that while membership had been good for Britain and London since 1973, it no longer made sense as the EU had failed to support innovation and was now tied to a euro zone which many signatories feared was doomed.

How college students think they are more special than EVER: Study reveals rocketing sense of entitlement on U.S. campuses
Books aside, if you asked a college freshman today who the Greatest Generation is, they might respond by pointing in a mirror.
Young people's unprecedented level of self-infatuation was revealed in a new analysis of the American Freshman Survey, which has been asking students to rate themselves compared to their peers since 1966.
Roughly 9 million young people have taken the survey over the last 47 years.
Self-love: New data suggests students today are convinced of their own greatness regardless of whether they've accomplished anything
Up, up and away! Over the past 50 years American students have increasingly grown confident not only socially but also about their own writing and intellect skills and their confidence in leadership ability
Psychologist Jean Twenge and her colleagues compiled the data and found that over the last four decades there's been a dramatic rise in the number of students who describe themselves as being 'above average' in the areas of academic ability, drive to achieve, mathematical ability, and self-confidence.
But in appraising the traits that are considered less invidualistic - co-operativeness, understanding others, and spirituality - the numbers either stayed at slightly decreased over the same period.
Researchers also found a disconnect between the student's opinions of themselves and actual ability.
While students are much more likely to call themselves gifted in writing abilities, objective test scores actually show that their writing abilities are far less than those of their 1960s counterparts.
Also on the decline is the amount of time spent studying, with little more than a third of students saying they study for six or more hours a week compared to almost half of all students claiming the same in the late 1980s.
Important online: Trends like social media, celebrity culture, and easy credit contribute to students feeling as if they're more successful than they really are
Though they may work less, the number that said they had a drive to succeed rose sharply.
These young egotists can grow up to be depressed adults.
A 2006 study found that students suffer from 'ambition inflation' as their increased ambitions accompany increasingly unrealistic expectations.
'Since the 1960s and 1970s, when those expectations started to grow, there's been an increase in anxiety and depression,' Twenge said. 'There's going to be a lot more people who don't reach their goals.'
Twenge is the author of a separate study showing a 30 per cent increase towards narcissism in students since 1979.
Look out for No. 1: Narcissists often reach middle age and find their past full of failed relationships
'Our culture used to encourage modesty and humility and not bragging about yourself,' Twenge told BBC News. 'It was considered a bad thing to be seen as conceited or full of yourself.'
Just because someone has high self-esteem doesn't mean they're a narcissist. Positive self-assessments can not only be harmless but completely true.
However, one in four recent students responded to a questionnaire called the Narcissistic Personality Inventory with results pointing towards narcissistic self-assessments.
Narcissism is defined as excessive self-love or vanity; self-admiration, or being self-centered.
Twenge said that's a trait that is often negative and destructive, and blames its boom on several trends - including parenting styles, celebrity culture, social media, and easy credit - for allowing people to seem more successful than they really are.
Obsessed: Despite legions of self-help books advising belief in yourself, there's no evidence self-esteem causes success
'What's really become prevalent over the last two decades is the idea that being highly self-confident - loving yourself, believing in yourself - is the key to success,' Twenge said. 'Now the interesting thing about that belief is it's widely held, it's very deeply held, and it's also untrue.'
Despite a library's worth of self-help books promoting the idea we can achieve anything if we believe we can, there's very little evidence that raising self-esteem produces positive, real-world outcomes.
'If there is any effect at all, it is quite small,' said Roy
Baumeister of Florida State University, who authored a 2003 paper on self-esteem studies.
Baumeister found that while successful
people did have high-self esteem in many cases, it was unclear what
actual caused their success if the first place.
Both self-esteem and success were often influenced by another factor.
'Coming from a good family might lead to both high self-esteem and personal success.' Baumeister said. 'Self-control is much more powerful and well-supported as a cause of personal success. Despite my years invested in research on self-esteem, I reluctantly advise people to forget about it.'
Twenge compared it to a swimmer trying to learn a turn who needs to believe that learning the skill is possible but who won't actually be aided in acquiring that skill by their belief.
1 in a million: Roughly 9 million freshman have rated themselves in the American Freshman Survey since 1966
'You need to believe that you can go out and do something but that's not the same as thinking that you're great,' Twenge said.
Studies suggest weaker students actually perform worse if given encouragement at boosting their self-esteem.
'An intervention that encourages [students] to feel good about themselves, regardless of work, may remove the reason to work hard,' Baumeister found.
But if you found yourself bothered by a person always talking about how wonderful they are, remember that their future may not be bright.
'In the long-term, what tends to happen is that narcissistic people mess up their relationships, at home and at work,' Twenge said. Though narcissists may be charming at first, their selfish actions eventually damage relationships.
It's not until middle-age they may realize their lives have had a number of failed relationships.
And even if they recognize something is wrong they may have a hard time changing.
'It's a personality trait,' says Twenge. 'It's by definition very difficult to change. It's rooted in genetics and early environment and culture and things that aren't all that malleable.'

Rick Mercer comes out — again — after his rant goes viral
Rick Mercer went on CBC Radio's The Current Wednesday morning to discuss his sexual orientation after his rant on teen suicide went viral.

Rick Mercer went on The Current Wednesday morning to discuss his sexual orientation.
The appearance came after his rant against teen bullying and suicide went viral.
Mercer told host Anna Maria Tremonti that while he didn't come out in high school, he didn't feel especially afraid to share his sexuality.
"I always knew I was gay. I always knew that somehow it would work out."
However, he said it didn't occur to him to reveal his sexual orientation as a teenager.
"It's a brave new world. I'm 42 years old. I certainly wasn't out in high school. And in fact it wasn't even a notion. So the idea that these kids are out of the closet in high school are so foreign to me.
"But they're out and they need role models."
Mercer said although he wasn't bullied in high school he did have a flamboyant gay friend who was "teased mercilessly."
Mercer had ranted Tuesday night in a segment on his show in response to Jamie Hubley, the 15-year-old Ottawa boy who committed suicide earlier this month. The comedian said he first came out in his early 20s and told his family, friends and co-workers at the CBC.
The rant had many supporters, but also made people ask why Mercer didn't more explicitly come out during the rant.
"Great rant, but I always thought Rick Mercer was mum about being gay," tweeted @BalanceSusan.
In Tuesday's rant, Mercer said it wasn't enough to just tell young people who are bullied that it will get better. "We have to make it better now," he said, and suggested that LGBT adults should make themselves more visible.
"Certainly because of the reaction of this rant people have been saying, 'When are you going to come out of the closet, Mercer?'
"But I don't know how many times a guy can come out of the closet in this country," Mercer said on The Current.
Reaction on Twitter was mixed. Some tweeted in support of Mercer, while others tweeted about not knowing his sexual orientation before.
"I had no idea until he just said it on the Current that Rick Mercer was gay," tweeted @amyboughner.
Later in the interview Mercer said he eventually realized that if you are a public figure, might need to do more than simply telling the people you see on a daily basis. Now, he says: "I try to live my life as an out gay man."
He said young people have contacted him as a gay public figure.
He doesn't make it part of his shtick on the Rick Mercer Show, because that's not what the show is about.

As municipal elections approach again in Beit Shemesh, tensions are once more rising to boiling point in the troubled city Posters in the haredi neighborhoods tell residents that to defend their lives they must vote on March 11 for the haredi candidate, and current mayor, Moshe Abutbul, while his opponents campaign vigorously against renewed ultra-Orthodox control of the city.In the midst of this maelstrom is Eli Cohen, the independent candidate who contested the original elections results and won the right for a second bite at the cherry after the courts annuled the result of last October's poll due to voter fraud.In conversation with The Jerusalem Post, Cohen insisted, as he has so often, that the intercommunal problems experienced in the city have been generated by haredi politicians seeking control, and not by a deeper inability for coexistence between haredi and non-haredi communities.

Emissions test fees may be capped
$25 cap specified in bill would remove free-market pricing
Stuart Johnson, Deseret Morning News
Free market forces could no longer drive the price of emissions tests in Salt Lake and Utah counties if a proposed $25 cap is approved by the Legislature.
The cap, which is part of HB196, would effectively remove the prerogative of shop owners to charge any fee for the test in the two counties, ensuring that everyone who is required to take the test will pay the same amount, said sponsor Rep. Wayne Harper, R-West Jordan. The cap is designed to restore the original intent of setting a fee to cover the costs of the tests and equipment for stations.
"All I'm doing is putting it back to where it was before, so everybody is operating under the same fee system," Harper said. "This way, every taxpayer knows they're being treated the same."
The bill would also eliminate the ability of counties to incrementally increase the fee by $2.50 a year to reimburse stations for lost revenue because of a change to state law, made last year, that required cars five years old and newer to only tested every other year.
Currently, both Salt Lake and Utah counties do not regulate the fees, choosing instead to allow the free market system to determine the price. While Harper said he favors unregulated pricing when it's possible, it can never be considered free market when it is required by the government.
"How do you have a free market system what it is something that is federally and state mandated? It doesn't breed a free market if it's mandated," he said.
Salt Lake County Councilman Russell Skousen, however, said that the unregulated price structure has already worked in two counties, and should be allowed to continue. In August, the Salt Lake County Council removed any caps on the test fee, modeling their approach to Utah County, which already had unregulated prices.
"You either trust the free market or you don't," Skousen said. "In Utah County, for years they've gone with the free market and never had a problem."
Prices in Utah County hover between $20 and $30, primarily because customers will not pay much more, Provo's J&A Emissions owner Jose Guerra said.
"You've got to compete," he said. "If I charged $100, nobody would come here."
Michael Duncan, co-owner of Midvale-based Just Emissions, said that his shops are proof that the free market system is working in Salt Lake County where prices, since becoming unregulated, range from the $17 to $35. Even though his shops charge one of the higher fees in the county, customers still come because they prefer a shop that is only emissions and safety inspections, he said.
"You can get any price you want," he said. "We can take of our business, and we know how to run it. They just need to stay the hell out of it."
During the Salt Lake County Council debates, both Sen. Chris Buttars, R-West Valley, and Sen. Dan Eastman, R-Bountiful, spoke in favor of letting the owners set the prices, allies that Duncan hopes to recruit if the bill reaches the Senate. Buttars doubted that it would get through the Senate, and said that the system is working just fine."I'm totally in favor of the free market," he said. "I'd like him to show me one place where it's not working."

•Tony Adamo - "What Is Hip"
Thursday, Apr 14, 2011 2:50AM / Press Release
Tony Adamo's video "What Is Hip" brings both old school and new music together as it provides us with an Interesting view of the group Tower of Power performing their original hit "What Is Hip," and showcasing an incredibly impressive rhythm section in the process. Adamo does a great job speaking about the group and explaining the history of 70's music and the Oakland, California groove, and it's obvious that he has much respect for both. The video then segways to scenes of Adamo performing his version of "What Is Hip". It's always great to see today's musicians giving respect to those who came before them, and Adamo is deep in the groove with a new conception of voice n' funk with an infectious slice of soul. This track is a fantastic mid-tempo blending of jazz and funk, keeping you in its grasp from beginning to end. There are no computer tricks here – only real music from real musicians that will make you move to the bass, guitar, piano, trumpet, drums, sax and background vocals. Many props go out to both Tower Of Power and Tony Adamo on this one!

Mysterious quasar sequence explained10 Sep 2014, 15:10 UTC Pasadena, CA—Quasars are supermassive black holes that live at the center of distant massive galaxies. They shine as the most luminous beacons in the sky across the entire electromagnetic spectrum by rapidly accreting matter into their gravitationally inescapable centers. New work from Carnegie's Hubble Fellow Yue Shen and Luis Ho of the Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics (KIAA) at Peking University solves a quasar mystery that astronomers have been puzzling over for 20 years. Their work, published in the September 11 issue of Nature, shows that most observed quasar phenomena can be unified with two simple quantities: one that describes how efficiently the hole is being fed, and the other that reflects the viewing orientation of the astronomer. Quasars display a broad range of outward appearances when viewed by astronomers, reflecting the diversity in the conditions of the regions close to their centers. But despite this variety, quasars have a surprising amount of regularity in their quantifiable physical properties, which follow well-defined trends (referred to as the "main sequence" of quasars) discovered more than 20 years ago. Shen and Ho solved a two-decade puzzle in quasar research: What unifies these properties into this main sequence? Using the largest and ...

Upgrade for SKA precursor telescope in Australia10 Sep 2014, 11:13 UTC The white-coated 2nd generation Phase Array Feed receiver on ASKAP's antenna 29. On September 4, the first full-size second generation (Mk II) phased array feed (PAF) receiver was installed on an antenna at the Australian SKA site – the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory in Western Australia. This marked a new milestone in the development of CSIRO's Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope, one of three SKA precursor telescopes. PAFs are a new technology being developed at CSIRO equivalent to "radio cameras", providing a uniquely large field-of-view to image large swaths of the sky at the same time. The development of the second generation PAF system builds on many of the lessons learnt with the design, development, construction and testing of the Mk I receiver. Six Mk I PAFs and their associated electronics, were installed on ASKAP antennas in 2013 and are already producing early science results. The design of the Mk II now also incorporates novel components and assembly techniques such as the use of marine composites technology in the PAF casing to manage structural loading, thermal insulation, environmental protection and RFI shielding, as well as specially-designed ground planes that ensure a low and stable operating temperature for increased system reliability.

This Star Cluster Is Not What It Seems10 Sep 2014, 10:00 UTC This new image from the VLT Survey Telescope at ESO's Paranal Observatory in northern Chile shows a vast collection of stars, the globular cluster Messier 54. This cluster looks very similar to many others but it has a secret. Messier 54 doesn't belong to the Milky Way, but is part of a small satellite galaxy, the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy. This unusual parentage has now allowed astronomers to use the Very Large Telescope (VLT) to test whether there are also unexpectedly low levels of the element lithium in stars outside the Milky Way.

About two weeks ago, I found a video on Facebook -- it explained human rights. What made it interesting to me were a few things:
First, it started asking people on the street WHAT ARE human rights? People were better able to explain what they weren't -- but not what they were. No one seemed aware of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights spearheaded by Eleanor Roosevelt in 1948 after the vast devastation of WW2.
Second, once I'd visited the site, I found a bunch of very small videos -- that dealt with each right. I was intrigued how they had captured what I might call more 'minor infractions' -- in everyday life. For example, a cell phone goes missing and a stereotype based on race comes into play -- assumptions of theft are made... this is used as an everyday example of "innocent until proven guilty".
I'm not going to pretend, I certainly didn't know all 30 -- I just knew how to recognize their violations.
I reached out to the group, and they sent me a kit -- it has two booklets, a DVD, and some really useful information. They encourage you to educate yourself and others, start a chapter -- a good DIY, enabling approach.
As I was reading, I found they offer a free teacher's kit. It comes with about 50 booklets, a lesson plan, and 30 posters -- one for each right.
To make me smile even more? They ship it for no charge, even internationally. Needless to say, I ordered it. I'm having it sent to India -- and I want to take it to the different NGOs. Human Rights is a massive topic -- and to have free access to concise clear information is really important. It's available in multiple languages as well.
In McLeod Ganj, conversation classes are popular with the different NGOs. Students (all of whom are Tibetan refugees) attend these classes to improve their English, and learn more about different cultures. The Hope Center, where I frequently volunteer, had noticed that the students were very proficient in English as it pertained to some topics -- namely, "How did you come to India?" So, they began to have a "topic of the day" -- to make sure there were diverse discussions. I think these articles may make fascinating subject matter and a great cultural exchange.
You can learn more at their Web site: www.HumanRights.com and www.YouthForHumanRights.org.
The only downside -- if you want to share their videos with your friends, you cannot do it from their site -- but they are easy to find on YouTube.

Book review: "Three Girls and Their Brother" by Theresa Rebeck
Thursday, April 10, 2008
In her first novel, playwright and screenwriter Theresa Rebeck skewers paparazzi culture and our national obsession with the hookups and breakdowns of the young and the beautiful.
In "Three Girls and Their Brother," three gorgeous redheads are thrown into the celebrity machine when a photographer takes their portrait for The New Yorker magazine. The media attention becomes a firestorm after a run-in between rebellious, 14-year-old Amelia and a lecherous movie star.
Suddenly, the Heller sisters are New York City's "It girls," their every move stalked and scrutinized by legions of paparazzi and press.
Ambitious 18-year-old Daria and wild 17-year-old Polly welcome the attention, but Amelia wants to go back to the real world of high school. But she soon discovers that casting off her celebrity status won't be as easy as it seems.
It doesn't help that the girls' mother, a former beauty queen, is willing to sacrifice her daughters to feed the demands of agents, publicists, stylists and reporters.
Rebeck breaks the story into four sections, one narrated by each Heller sibling — the girls and Philip, the brother of the title.
Heightening the authenticity, Rebeck peppers the novel with real-life people and places. The girls appear on "Live With Regis and Kelly," mingle with movie stars at the W Hotel and model lingerie for GQ magazine. The true-to-life references add to the illlusion that we are getting a behind-the-scenes peek at the lives of New York celebrities.
When Amelia is cast in an off-Broadway play, Rebeck takes the opportunity to also gently mock the pretensions and insecurities of the New York theater scene. But Rebeck — the playwright behind "Spike Heels," "Bad Dates" and her 2007 Broadway debut, "Mauritius" — treats stage actors with more affection than models and movie stars.
The book could have been little more than a frothy beach read, but Rebeck undercuts the fun with darker points about celebrity culture — particularly the damage caused by the media's sexualization of young girls.

ViiV a-la ASUS, Core Duo N4L-VM DH Motherboard
MPEG-4 Encoding
For this test we used Cyberlink Power Producer in conjunction with DIVX 6.0Pro to encode "The Matrix" MPEG2 down to a MPEG-4 high resolution video file.
The Cyberlink software comes with its own time clock to indicate the time taken to encode the movie as well as average CPU usage and average FPS during the encode. We used DIVX 6.0 due to its support for Dual Core CPUs as well as Intel SSE3 and Hyper Threading.
Core Duo has managed to outperform the most impressive Multimedia Encoding CPU we have ever seen by quite a bit. It's good to see that the performance has lived up to expectation for the Core Duo and Multimedia tasks.
