14. The general term that describes an increase in the number of the white blood cells is leukopenia
F. The general termt hat describes a decrease in the number of whie blood cells is leukopenia
What is phagocytosis?
Phagocytosis (literally "cell-eating") is a form of endocytosis wherein large particles are enveloped by the cell membrane of a (usually larger) cell and internalized to form a phagosome, or "food vacuole
A pt's chart shows that eosinophils make up 8
% of his white blood cell count. What does this lead you to suspect?
Would your suspicions change if you learned tha thte pt had spent time as an anthropologist living among an African tribe?
Sweat glands in the armpits secrete perspiration with a pH close to neutral (7). How does this fact help explain body odor in this area as compared to other parts of the body?
Name 5 formites, but make them ones that could potentially be the riskier object for transmitting disease
A fomite is any object that can facilitate horizontal bacteria transmission of bacteria or virus (person to person). Almost every object on earth could theoretically act as a fomite.
(Food - someone sneezed on it and you ate it.)
railings - touch with disease and you touch it. Computers - touched by others & you use it.
Refridgerator doors - Others use and you touch it and rub your eye.
Infectious disease
Any disease caused by a microorganism that enters and mulitiples within tissues at the expense of its host is said to be infectious
Normal Microbiota
* Microbes adapted to the environment of the body, iehter in a symbiotic or synergistic relationship
ie: Bacteria, fungi and protozoa
How is normal microbiota acquired?
birthing process, breast or bottle feeding and exposure to family, health care workers, environments and food
What are the known sites to harbor normal flora
Skin, respiratory tract, digestive tract, outer portion of urethra, external genitalia, vagina
is when the microbe evades the body's external defenses, multiplies and becomes established in the body
Opportunisitc pathogens
cause disease when the host's immune defenses are compromised or when they become establised in a part of the body that is not natural to them.
ie: Yeast, Staph & E.coli bacteria
True pathogens
are capable of acusing disease in healthy individuals with normal immune defenses.
ie: Salmonella bacteria, influenza virus
Skin (portal of entry)
- some pathogens can enter through natural openings (hair follicles or sweat glands)
- Some enter through abrasions or cuts
- Some enter through bites or contaminated needles
- Other enter by burrowing into or digesting outer layers of skin
What are 3 mucous membranes for portal of entry of pathogens?
1) Respiratory (most common site of entry)
- entry through mouth,nose, or eyes
2) Gastrointestinal tract
- must survive the acidic pH of the stomach
3) urinary and reproductive tracts
Placents (portals of entry)
- Typically forms effective barrier to pathogens
- Pathogens may cross the placenta and infect the feus
* Can cause spontaneous abortion, birth defects, premature birth)
What are examples of pathogens that cross the placenta?
* Bacteria causing syphilis and listeriosis
* Viruses causing AIDS and German measles
* Protozoan causeing toxoplasmosis
Size of Inculum for infectius dose of organism
For most organisms, a minimum number (infectious dose) of organisms must enter the body to cause an active infection.
*Infectious dos (ID) can range from
- One organism (rickettsia, TB, Giardia)
- 1,000 for gonorrhea
- 10,000 for anthrax
- 100,000 for salmonella
- 1,000,000 for cholera
- 1,000,000,000 for E. coli
The role of adhesion in Infection
- Process by which microorganisms attach themselves to cells
- Required to successfully establish colonies with in the host
Adhesion factors
* Speicalized structures
- Adhesion disks (protozoa)
- Suckers or hooks (helminths)
* Attachment proteins or ligands (surface glycoproteins or lipoproteins)
- Fimbrae, flagella, glycocalyces (bacteria)
- Capsid or envelope (virus)
Virulence factors of Infectious Agents
* Ability of a microorganism to cause disease
* Degree of pathogenicity
* Virulence factors contribute to virulence
- Adhesion factors
- Extracellular enzymes
- Toxins (exo-and endotoxins)
- Antiphagocytic factors
Virulence FActors of Infectious Agents
Extracellular enzymes
- Secreted by the pathogen
- Dissolve structural chemicals in the body
- Help pathogen maintain infection, invade,a nd avoid body defenses
Virulence factors of Infectious Agenst (Toxins)
- Chemicals that harm tissues or trigger host immune responses that cause damage
- Toxemia refers to toxins in the bloodstream that are carried beyond the site of infection
- Two types (exotoxins and endotoxins)
Virulence Factors of Infectious Agents: Antiphagocytic factors
- Prevent phagocytosis by host's phagocytic cells
* Bacterial capsule
- Composed of chemicals not recognized
as foreign
- Slippery: difficult for phagocytes to engulf
* Antiphagocytic chemicals
- prevent fusion of lysosome and
phagocytic vesicles
- Leukocidins directly destroy phagocytic
white blood cells
The Manifestations of Disease: Symptoms, Signs, and Syndromes
What are symptoms ---
* Subjective characteristics of disease felt
only by the pt (pain, nausea, headache,
chills, fatique, itching)
*Objective manifestations of disease
observed or measured by others (swelling,
rash, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, anemia)
* Group of symptoms and signs that
characterize a disease or abnormal
Asymptomatic, or subclinical:
* Infections lack symptoms but may still
have signs of infection
objective manifestations of disease observed or measured by others (swelling, rash, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, anemia)
The manifestation of disease: Stages of Infectious disease
-The disease process occurs following infection
- Many infectious diseases have five stages
- Patients could be infectious at all stages
- Length of and intensity depends on virulence of pathogen, infective dose, health of pt, and site of infection.
What are the five stages that many infectious diseases have?
Incubation period
Prodromal period
body begins to return to normal as immune response or medical treatment destroys pathogens, sign and symptoms lessen
- declining signs and symptoms
patterns of infectious disease: types of infections
Mixed infection
microbe spreads to several sites, including blood
- septicemia, bacteremia, viremia, toxemia
Mixed infection (polymicrobial)
infection involves more than one microbe (wound infection, dental caries)
an infection that complicates the primary one (HIV-primary, yeast infection of pneumonia-secondary)
Classification of Infectious disease: Terms used to classify infectious disease
diseases the pathogen remains inactive for a long period of time before becoming active (herpes)
Portals of Exit (movement of Pathogens Out o fHosts)
- sites where pathogens leave host
- many portals of exit are the same as portals of entry
- pathogens often leave hosts in materials the body secretes or excretes
Ear (earwax), Broken skin (blood) Skin (flakes)Anus(feces) Seminal vesicles (semen and lubricatinig secretions
Urethra (urine), Vigina (secretions, blood), Mammary gland - female(milk, secretions), mouth(saliva, sputum), nose(secretions), eyes(tears)
Reservoirs of diseases in humans
Most pathogens cannot survive for long outside of their hosts.
-Reservoirs of infection: sites wehre pathogens are maintained as a source of infection
- Three types of resevoirs
* Animal reservoir
* Huma carriers
* Nonliving reservoir
Animal reservoirs
Zoonoses: Diseases naturally spread from animal host to human
- Acquire zoonoses through various routes
* Direct contact with animal or its waste
* eating animals
*Bloodsucking arthropods
- Humans are usually dead-end host to zoonotic pathogens
Examples: lyme disease, Salmonellosis, Rabies, West Nile virus and tapeworms
Human Carriers
- Infected individuals who are asaymptomatic but infective to others (carriers)
- People with no obvious symptoms before and after illness may also be infective
Examples: tuberculosis, sypilis, herpes, AIDS
(shows picture of Typhoid Mary)
Nonliving Reservoirs
-Soil, water, and food can be reservoirs of infection
*presence of microorganisms often due to contamination by feces or urine
Examples: botulism, tetnus, choler, dysentery, listeriosis
Modes of infectious disease transmission:
-Is from a reservoir or a portal of exit to another host's portal of entry:
- Three groups of transmission
* contact transmission (direct or indirect)
*Vehicle transmission (airborne, waterborne, foodborne
*Vector transmission(biological - or mechanical)
Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases: Nosocomial Infections
- Infections acquired by pts or health care workers while they are int he health care facilities

Smoke bombs
I had a comment on what I saw on TV the other day. I don't do drugs. I don't even drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes, but it seems like some of the stuff that goes on around here just seems scripted and choreographed, like we all know it's election time so, when we go to the drug bust, let's throw some smoke bombs in there for drama, pull in some more voters. Plus it's good for the media. Hooray for the smoke bombs!
Ideas in a barrel
I got a good idea. Everybody should get a barrel and pieces of paper, write a bunch of stupid ideas down and, for a dollar, everybody gets to pick one out and present it to City Council. We can find out what we're going to do for the next year.
School traffic
I have a comment on the TalkBack about cars being parked in the road when school is let out. We have that problem on Pine Log Road. It is a serious problem. Somebody is going to get killed at one of these places one day, and that's when they'll decide to do something. This never used to happen. The schools are overcrowded, and the highway department doesn't know how to handle putting an extra lane there. A simple no parking sign would help. What is it going to take? How many deaths it going to take? When are they going to figure out what needs to be done?
I observed a man standing behind an office building hitting golf balls out into the cemetery onto graves. This is one of the most disrespectful things I have ever seen. I have family and friends buried in the cemetery, and I also have two grave sites in the cemetery. I think that this needs to be stopped immediately. Please let these folks rest in peace. Shame, shame.

Sad thing, but good for Raps.
Remember all the pre-draft talk coming from Sullinger's camp saying that there are no back problems to worry about?
Moral of the story: Never trust an agent to give you medical advice, lol.
"I don't lie. I willfully participate in a campaign of misinformation." - Fox Mulder
As if on cue theres that back problem Sullinger had dam get well soon rook that sucks big time!
They still have Pierce and KG. They'll be in the playoffs.
Nope, i think they're screwed. Its Raps vs Philly now

Summer Days Of Carmen Electra
Posted by Alina at 10:32 AM. Filed under: Carmen Electra
Carmen Electra Was a Vampire
Carmen Electra grew up near Cincinnati, Ohio, in the town of White Oak and got her first boost when a scout for Prince spotted her fronting for a rap group in Los Angeles. She released a self-titled album for Prince's Paisley Park label in 1992. Starting March 1997, she appears in cartoon form as the model for a character who's a singer and a vampire ("but a good vampire", says her publicist)…

TextMate Support
Making it easier for users of the popular Mac OS X editor to do the right thing
Project Description
A lot of Zope and Plone developers are using Mac OS X these days – and a growing number of those are using the (commercial) editor textmate. One of its (many) merits is its extensibility via bundles.
This product takes the form of such a bundle. It aims to enhance textmate's already existing support for Python, XML, (X)HTML, CSS and Restructured Text (for DocTests) by adding features aimed specifically at the modern day (i.e. z3-savvy) Zope and Plone developer.
Its features include: Doctest support (Restructured text with inline Python syntax and auto-indent of python code!), pdb support (TextMate can now follow your every move in pdb!), ZCML support (no more looking up directives with our handy and exhaustive snippets!) and a ZPT syntax that marries the best of both worlds: XML strictness with the goodness of TextMate's HTML support.
The bundle is no longer hosted on the collective, it now lives on github. This was done mainly so that it can be installed directly from inside TextMate using the GetBundles bundle.
Installation via GetBundles (recommended)
To install GetBundles do this:
mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles cd !$ svn co http://svn.textmate.org/trunk/Review/Bundles/GetBundles.tmbundle/ osascript -e 'tell app "TextMate" to reload bundles'
Open the GetBundles item in the Bundles menu, click on the 'All' tab, select the Zope bundle and click on "Install Bundles."
Installation via git
To install the bundle check it out into the bundles directory:
cd ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ git clone git://github.com/tomster/zope.tmbundle.git osascript -e 'tell app "TextMate" to reload bundles'
Create the directories if they don't exist.
Install via ZIP archive
If you don't want to muck around with git or GetBundles, you can also just download a snapshot we've created for your convenience:
- Expand the archive once it's downloaded
- Remove the trailing code from the expanded archive name, so that it ends with
- Double-click it.

A Better World by Design Expo Showcases Creative Innovation
Posted By Amanda Coen On October 7, 2011 @ 4:39 pm In Eco-Inspiration,Events,Green Products,Innovation,News | No Comments
What do the 1/2 Project, Easy Island, Zambikes and Design Global Change have to do with each other? All utilize good design as a tool for positive change. Besides offering a wide array of panels and workshops, the A Better World by Design annual conference gives students and budding professionals the chance to present their ideas, businesses and products to the public at their yearly Expo.
The conference is collaboratively organized by Brown University [1] and Rhode Island School of Design [2] students and brings together the world's leading minds in social entrepreneurship and design. At this year's Expo, Zambikes [3] presented their light-weight bamboo bicycle produced in Zambia. The company [4] has grown exponentially since its founding in 2007 and revenues have been re-invested in local, rural communities. The young company has produced the Zambulance [5] (bicycle ambulance trailer) and Zamcart [6] (cargo trailer). The Zambulance aids in transporting the sick from remote locations to hospitals and the Zamcart was designed for the farming community, marketeers and small businesses and can carry up to 250 kilograms.
Another innovative project with a social conscious is led by the creative think-tank Design Global Change [7]. The University of Hartford [8] based project is led by Natacha Poggio [9] and relies on student involvement in communities worldwide. On display at the Expo was a series of flashcards that form part of the Bringing Girls into Focus [10] project. They are meant to trigger conversation among youth about women's important roles in rural communities. In conjunction with the Navjyoti India Foundation [11] that serves over 12,000 people in northern India, the cards will be distributed throughout their service network.
Easy Island presented their newly released line of plates and bowls produced from Areca nuts [12] in South India. The material is produced through pressure washing and is then heat-pressed into various shapes. The light-weight, microwave safe products are completely biodegradable. After use they can be washed and re-used, fed to animals or composted along with food scraps. They support up to eight pounds of food and hold water for up to six hours. Already produced and sold in India, Easy Island is hoping to use college markets as an entry point into other United States markets.
Another international entry came from the 1/2 Project [13]. The South Korean team presented their social venture that teams business enterprises with NGOs. Most of us consume far more than we need and are overwhelmed when disaster strikes and we are asked to donate to charity. Rather than relating the idea of giving to disaster, the 1/2 Project aims to scale down and have it become an integral part of everyday purchasing decisions. Through their design of a variety of common containers such as milk cartons and plastic bottles that are physically halved, they hope to accomplish this goal. There are currently no corporations that have signed on, but with perseverance the design could potentially change the way we view giving and make us think twice about the amount we consume.
On a more local level, a series of Designer Journals [14] by Karl Heine are made from eco-friendly materials. The convenient 8.5″ x 5.5″ journals are filled with recycled Mohawk paper [15] that was manufactured using wind power. Customers [16] can chose between various covers made from up-cycled Italian leather, 97% Natural, Marmoleum Solid linoleum that comes in a range of textures and colors, Mohawk Loop Straw or a durable wetsuit like material. Even the packaging design keeps the earth in mind. The front panel becomes a bookmark and the back features a photograph by Heine that transforms into a postcard.
For kids or those with a more playful taste, a series of colorful, fun characters by kHyal [17] form the The Weather Skwirl [18] collection. The creatures are made of recycled plexiglass one at a time in Manhattan.
Lastly, a new part of this year's conference included the DCI [19] Consumer Product Challenge. This year's winner and runner-up had the chance to display their products at the Expo which will be manufactured as part of the DCI line of products. The winning design was the Trilife Ecotray by Angie Lee [20] and Queenie Fan [21] of RISD. The tray is made of bamboo fibers (60%) and plastic (40%). It fits snugly over the forearm and is FDA safe and biodegradable. Runner-up McKenzie Powers of the Art Institute of Boston presented her I Am a To Go Box which is modeled after the classic to-go box but instead of paper, silicon makes it re-usable, flexible and fun.
For those inspired by this year's conference, DCI will soon announce next year's challenge [22] so stay tuned!

Monday's Health Winners & Losers
(GSK - Get Report) said Monday that the Food and Drug Administration has more questions for the company regarding its cervical cancer vaccine Cervarix before the product can be approved.The agency's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research issued Glaxo a "complete response letter" to its Cervarix application, signaling that the review is complete but questions have to be answered before the drug can be approved. Glaxo said it will submit a response to the FDA letter on Cervarix, which is already approved in markets outside the U.S., as soon as possible. Glaxo shares fell $1.05, or 2%, to $51.95. The stock is a component of the Amex pharmaceutical index, which was down 3.57, or 1%, to 344.25. Meanwhile, the European Commission granted marketing authorization for Atripla, an HIV drug that was joint-filed by Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY - Get Report), Genentech (DNA) and Merck (MRK - Get Report) for commercialization in the 27 countries of the E.U., as well as in Norway and Iceland. The drug has been approved in the U.S. since 2006. Bristol was up just 3 cents at $28.11, Genentech was down $1.32, or 2%, at $67.11, and Merck was up 8 cents, or 0.1%, to $59.65. In other regulatory news, Medtronic (MDT - Get Report) said Monday that it received Japanese regulatory approval on Dec. 10 for its Sprint Quattro lead, a wire used with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) that detect and treat rapid and potentially lethal heart rhythms. The company said it hopes to receive reimbursement for the lead by Jan. 1, in which case it would immediately begin the commercial launch in Japan. In October, the company recalled its Fidelis leads, sparking a shift to the use of its Quattro leads, but Quattro lead product hadn't been approved in Japan. Medtronic shares were down 25 cents, or 0.5%, at $49.15.Health indices lacked luster Monday, while a few biotech stocks kicked off the week with a swath of regulatory news. GlaxoSmithKline

The county assessor is responsible for determining the real estate taxes for properties in our county. We need to elect someone with experience and integrity for this important position.
Gary Svanda has exhibited these qualities as city councilman and mayor of Madera, balancing the budget and leading our city in an open and transparent way. I know he will do a great job as our next assessor.
I urge voters to join my wife Joan and I in supporting Gary Svanda for county assessor.

Tommy Vercetti
|Dex: 05
|Str: 03
|Bod: 05
|Motivation: Mercenary
|Int: 06
|Wil: 07
|Min: 06
|Occupation: Drug Baron
|Inf: 06
|Aur: 06
|Spi: 07
|Resources {or Wealth}: 012
|Init: 021
Skills: Acrobatics (Athletics, Dodging): 04, Martial Artist (no Techniques): 05, Thief (Concealment)*: 05, Vehicles (Land, Sea): 08, Vehicles (Air): 06, Weaponry (Firearms, Heavy): 08, Weaponry (Melee, Missile): 06
Advantages: Area Knowledge (East Side of Vice City), Attractive, Confidant (Ken Rosenberg, Attorney at Law), Confined Headquarters (Ocean View Motel), Expansive Headquarters (Hyman Condo, Vercetti Estate), Expertise (Business Management, Vice City Underworld), Familiarity (Printing Presses), Gift of Gab, Iron Nerves, Lightning Reflexes, Schtick (Wheelman, see description below for details)
Note: Exile has been bought off at this point, as Tommy's plans to make Vice City his new home are coming to fruition and returning to Liberty City is no longer an issue. He has also effectively severed his Connection to the Forelli Family at this point, though both sides are still going through the pretense of a partnership.
Connections: Avery Carrington, real estate magnate (Low), Colonel Juan Garcia Cortez, smuggler (Low, would be High but Cortez is currently in hiding and cannot provide much in the way of assistance), Kent Paul, music industry slimeball (Low), Vice City Underworld (Low). See the "Rising Star" section for more.
Drawbacks: Miscellaneous (Being a city boy, Tommy never learned to swim and will immediately start drowning if he falls in water any deeper than his head)
Equipment: Thanks to his various personal armories and business associates, Tommy already owns or can quickly acquire any small-arms he needs all the way up to special military gear such as flamethrowers and miniguns. Land, sea, or air vehicles are also very easy for Vercetti to lay his hands on, other than armed military vehicles and big-ticket items like passenger jetliners. He almost always has the following items on hand, unless he has just gotten out of jail or a hospital:
- BRASS KNUCKLES [BODY: 06, EV: 03 (04 w/ STR, 06 w/ Martial Artist)]
- .357 Magnum [BODY 04, Projectile weapons: 05, Ammo: 06, R#02]
- CONCEALED BALLISTIC VEST [BODY 04, Flame Immunity: 01, Invulnerability: 04, Skin Armor: 02, Limitations : Invulnerability and Skin armor only vs bullets ; Partial Coverage (Can bypass protection with a +1 OV Trick Shot) ; Real Armor]
As his resources improved, Tommy picked up an upgraded protective vest with heavier armor as well as flame retardant properties. The new vest is still light enough to be relatively inconspicuous while being worn under loose clothing. As with many such vests in the Vice City time period (1986) this vest offers no protection against piercing and slashing attacks, a design flaw corrected in modern-day ballistic armor.
- INFERNUS [STR 05, BODY 05, Running: 07]
While Ricardo Diaz was the "Mr. Coke" of Vice City, he used his connections to ensure that a new Infernus sports car was available at his mansion at all times. When Tommy took over Diaz's business and estate, he continued that arrangement though he specified that the cars should always be white to keep his partner Lance Vance happy as this was Lance's ride of choice. These stats will also do for any of the other sports cars that Tommy either had parked at safe houses or preferentially jacked when looking for a ride.
- SEA SPARROW [STR 05, BODY 06, Flight: 07, Projectile Weapons: 07]
In addition to standard helicopters on rooftop helipads at both the Vercetti Estate and the Hyman Condo, Tommy also had this special chopper parked in the back of the Vercetti Estate. This Sea Sparrow had a bubble cockpit for convenient aerial observation, pontoons mounted on its landing rails so it could land on the ground or on water, and was modified with a .30-caliber machine gun mounted under the body. The latter was a fixed emplacement and could only fire forward.
- Adrenaline Pill [Power Reserve (STR, Weaponry): 04, Superspeed: 07, Bonus: Multiple Actions are allowed ; Limitations: All APs of Power Reserve must be allocated to the same target (no splitting of APs allowed) but the allocation can be changed at the start of each phase if desired ; Superspeed APs do not replace movement speed ; Drawback: When the pill is taken both Powers immediately activate and remain active for 8 phases, after which the pill's effects wear off]
One of the perks of being a drug lord was access to some amazing chemicals. These pills slowed down the user's perceptions, greatly increasing the speed and accuracy of attacks, and increased his strength, giving him sufficient might to send opponents flying a couple of dozen feet with a single punch or to easily push aside cars and wreck them with his bare hands. These pills were in short supply; Representing their rarity, Tommy has to spend 10 HPs to use one and he cannot use more than one per "scene."
Technical notes
Safe as Houses II: Now Even Safer
As previously noted, Vercetti has acquired numerous hotel rooms, apartments, and condominiums all over Vice City. Some of these locations act as basic safe houses, while others have weapons and/or vehicles available (the latter usually in a small garage on-site). Three to four favored sites should have established locations in play. If Tommy is desperate for a hiding place and is far away from any of those places, he can spend some HPs to access a new place (it can be assumed that said location was actually purchased previously and simply not needed until now).
Spending 2 HPs gets him a basic apartment where Tommy can hide out for a while and switch clothes to disguise himself, while 5 HPs provides a condo or house which, in addition to the above, has a garaged vehicle or two, a few small arms, and spare body armor. The favored sites mentioned above are the equivalent of a 5 AP safe house. When Vercetti spends HPs to "find" a safe house, it will usually be a quarter- to half-mile away (8-9 APs).
The Ocean View Hotel on the East Side (Tommy's first home when arriving in Vice City), the Hyman Condo on the West Side, and the Vercetti Estate on Starfish Island in the middle of town are even better equiped. All three locations have wardrobes (including replacement ballistic vests), a small armory of weapons including pistols, assault rifles, and heavy artillery such as flamethrowers and miniguns, as well as vehicles; Tony's old Oceanic sedan is always parked in front of the Ocean View, and the other two locations always have at least one sports car and a helicopter.
Untouchable II: Above the Law
Vercetti's rapid movement up the Vice City economic ladder (both illegitimately and legitimately) has made him an even harder target to prosecute than he was before. Tommy still manages to get out of jail quickly after arrests and without any danger of prosecution even when the acts involved have attracted attention at highest levels of government law enforcement.
In game terms, when Vercetti is busted Ken Rosenberg will get him out without charges within twelve hours (14 APs). If someone attempts legal action or persuasion of some kind to get a prosecutor (at either the local or federal level) to actually press charges, they will be facing an OV/RV of 12. Results of such an effort can be measured against the following table:
|1-5 RAPs
|Vercetti is not charged with any crime, but a full investigation will be started.
|Vercetti is charged but is able to make bail.
|Vercetti is charged and held without bail.
Gettin' Around Town
See the Tommy Vercetti (Enforcer) writeup.
This Schtick represents the extraordinary bond that some drivers seem to have with any vehicle they use. Those vehicles can suddenly withstand a great deal more damage than they would normally and can make extraordinary leaps even when there seems to be no ramp or other feature that would allow them to get the necessary lift. In game terms, when this character is behind the wheel the vehicle has +2 APs of BODY, Hardened Defenses, and Jumping: 01 (Usable by itself, combined with a normal jump by the vehicle, or added to any pre-existing Jump Power the vehicle already had). When the character leaves the vehicle these benefits immediately disappear and if the loss of the extra BODY drives the Current BODY Condition below 0, the vehicle falls apart or explodes.
The exact depiction of this Schtick varies by Genre. In a Humor Genre, one might see the durability represented by a car that takes an amazing amount of damage and suddenly falls to pieces when the driver finally ditches it. A more serious or realistic approach might have the driver use careful maneuvering to minimize impact damage and such and have a badly damaged abandoned vehicle explode dramatically. Likewise, the jump may simply get ridiculous height and air-time despite a seeming lack of the necessary speed or ramps to jump with, while a more realistic setting might have the driver use a convenient bit of sloped scenery that just happens to be there when needed, such as an angled barrier or wall edge.
Characters that have had this Schtick include "Joliet" Jake Blues of The Blues Brothers, Frank Martin from The Transporter movies, and Tommy Vercetti from GTA: Vice City.
Tommy Vercetti, Metahuman II: More Than Human
The above stats assume that Tommy's superior capabilities compared to other characters in GTA: Vice City simply reflect above-average talents and the computer game's particular mechanics. However, in a superheroic universe some of the more outrageous special abilities Tommy acquires in the course of the game might be superpowers manifesting themselves, in particular superhuman durability and healing.
In this case his powers at this stage include:
- BODY 07 and Skin Armor: 01 (combining his in-game armor and health point totals, raised by completing the Ambulance and Vigilante Missions respectively, and dropping the BALLISTIC VEST from his equipment)
- Flame Immunity: 04 (Fireproof due to finishing the Firetruck Missions)
- Regeneration: 06 (due to the copiously placed Heart and Body Armor Icons throughout the game)
- Running: 05 (Infinite Sprint due to finishing the Pizza Delivery Missions)
- Invulnerability(DL): 14
Bonuses & Limitations:
- Invulnerability can only be used 12 hours (14 APs) after reaching negative APs of Current BODY Condition
- Invulnerability Checks can be made even if Vercetti has died prior to the check (i.e. reached -07 APs or lower Current BODY Condition), with success indicating that he has returned to life.

Following a successful UK tour of Porgy & Bess in 2012, Cape Town Opera come to The Lowry for the first time with their adaptation of the 1927 Broadway musical, Show Boat.

With all the glamour of the old American-style big family musical and a cast of over 50 talented performers, Cape Town Opera lovingly bring this classic musical back to life alongside the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra.

Incorporating spatial autocorrelation in species distribution models
|This is an ongoing project.
Contact DetailsJennifer Miller
The main outcome of this project will be a framework that can be used to guide all aspects of model conceptualization and development (sampling strategy, statistical method(s) used, appropriate spatial scale) when using binary data with spatial autocorrelation. This research will make an important contribution to a greater understanding of how spatial autocorrelation affects inductive models used with binary response data. Beyond predicting species distributions, these models have become an important and widely used decision-making tool for a variety of biogeographical applications, such as studying the effects of climate change, identifying potential protected areas, determining locations potentially susceptible to invasion, and mapping vector-borne disease spread and risk. Outside of biogeography, similar binary response models are used in medical/health applications (e.g., diagnostic tests) and economic and social sciences (e.g. labor market status, credit scoring, voting behavior).

Book synopsis
This study explores the field of EFL (English as a foreign language) classroom learning within a formal learning institution. Drawing on theories and methods from various disciplines, this book explores the question which has been frustrating language teachers: why do so many students remain reticent and anxious in language class?
Based on a large-scale survey and a more focused case study, the book argues persuasively that reticence and anxiety in formal EFL classrooms are important factors in determining the outcome of language learning. By means of a triangulated research method, this book examines various aspects of reticence and anxiety in EFL classroom learning situations. The author analyses causes and consequences, differences in terms of gender and proficiency level, and coping strategies.
Contents: EFL classroom – Oral English Lessons – Participation and Anxiety in Formal Classroom Learning Situation – A Triangulated Method of Collecting and Analyzing Data – A Communication Model in Formal Classroom Learning Situation – A Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Model in Formal Classroom Learning Situation.
About the author(s)/editor(s)
The Author: Meihua Liu teaches English at Tsinghua University in Beijing. Born in Mainland China, she has a Ph.D. in English Applied Linguistics from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. She lives in Beijing.

Colts coach Pagano diagnosed with leukemia
Updated: October 1, 2012, 5:30 PM ETAssociated Press
INDIANAPOLIS -- It took Chuck Pagano less than nine months to instill his fighter's mentality and hopeful spirit in the Indianapolis Colts.
He will need both to survive the biggest battle of his life -- leukemia.
In a somber news conference Monday, the Colts announced that their new coach had been hospitalized for cancer treatment and probably would not return to full coaching duties this season. He will be replaced on an interim basis by offensive coordinator Bruce Arians.

Tina Packer's intriguing five-part survey of William Shakespeare's female characters, "Women of Will," combines an amiable and thoughtful lecture with scenes from the canon.
And the gang is all here, along with the men who loved or loathed them, embraced or betrayed them: Juliet and Romeo, Cleopatra and Antony, Beatrice and Benedick, Margaret and the doomed Duke of York.
The outcome, at least for the first two installments I saw at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, can be amorous or violent, didactic or mesmerizing, funny or infuriating.
To borrow a potent phrase, "Women of Will," directed by Eric Tucker, is a comely beast with two backs.
For the past month, the summer festival has been staging the work's parts. On Saturday, "Part 5: The Maiden Phoenix: the Daughter Redeems the Father" has its penultimate performance. There's one final chance to see all five when the full cycle is performed over a marathon weekend (Aug. 10-12).
Conceived and developed over the span of 15 years by Packer, who founded Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, Mass.,"Women of Will" is also a meeting of the masculine and the feminine, though Packer is quick to remind the audience that each aspect resides in men and women.
When she portrays Cleopatra in "Part II: The Sexual Merges With the Spiritual: New Knowledge," you'll know that Packer's surest subject is power: who has it, who resents it, where it resides, how to move beyond its brutality, how to discover more humane versions of it.
Most enjoyable of all, "Women of Will" is the supercharged interplay of two fine actors, Packer and Gore. The pair have an often astonishing chemistry as they inhabit Shakespeare's creations.
In an effort to show the various and disconcerting ways Kate from "The Taming of the Shrew" can be played, Gore's Petruchio wraps a belt around Kate's neck like a sado-masochism collar. Already shorter than her counterpart, Packer is made even more diminutive because Gore's on a riser. It's ugly and powerful. They are differently winning when playing soon-to-be-lovers Benedick and Beatrice of "Much Ado About Nothing."
Yet the duo also offers audiences a tweaked version of themselves. She plays the Shakespearean expert laying out an argument about the playwright's arc as a human being. It is a trajectory revealed in his relationship to his female characters, Packer believes.
Gore plays the guy, but also the everyman, and even at times, the ombudsman for the audience when Packer asserts an idea that seems muddy.
"I come bearing testosterone," says Gore as he strides onto the University Theatre's stage in "Part 1: The Warrior Women, from Violence to Negotiation." It is an amusing salvo, and the tall, lean actor with the cropped hair proves to be quick with the quip and smart with the smirk.
If Parts 1 and 2 are any indication, all the installments come bearing entertaining anomalies. Gore will consult his iPad on occasion, looking up a poem by Galway Kinnell to make a point about love.
Packer will slam the brakes on a Kate monologue: "I can't say this. I can't," she insists in a mildly graveled voice. She can't go on, at least for the moment, because Kate is a hard character to rescue if, as Packer says, you're a "21st-century feminist."
But she and Gore do go on — and they argue well the case that the Bard's women were instrumental in making the playwright profoundly human, if not quite a 16th-century feminist.

French Connection Customer Reviews
It's easy to get in touch with my French roots
Half my family is French, so I really like being able to get fashions from the continent whilst living here in England. I've found that French Connection offers really cool clothes, only there isn't one close to my house. So I've turned to the website and have been hooked ever since. I tend to only shop here now. It's really easy to find what I want, and shipping is only £4, no matter how much I order.
Online shop offers so many great ideas
I like shopping in the stores as well, but this site is great because it can tell me the latest trends and the best sellers. It's like a barometer on what's hot this season. I just ordered a crinkle Clara dress from the best sellers section, and I got it at less than half the original price. I also like ordering online because they have better stock online than in any one store. I wanted one of the really cool pencil skirts this season, but they were out of it at my local store. So I hopped online and got it without any problem.
Took advantage of the after Christmas sale
Since I had some money to burn after the holidays (thanks Gran!) I thought I'd have a look at the French Connection sale. Wound up buying some lovely jumpers and a new lace dress, and very happy with what I paid. Also was pleased to see the preview for spring/summer 12 and looks like they have some nice things lined up - although I can't even think about wearing a sundress in this chilly weather!
I love the inexpensive shipping, although most sites usually offer it free if you spend a certain amount, and I certainly spend enough here! Whilst their clothes aren't cheap, at least the quality is high, and they last through repeated washings and wears.
Spring sale was a nice 20% off for me
I love shopping FCUK but sometimes they can be pricey. I was thrilled to look on their site and see a sale, and I used the 20% off code. I'd been looking at the Empress orchid dress for ages, and now that I could use the discount, I was able to afford it. I can't wait to wear the dress and unfortunately I didn't browse any of the other items on sale since I really could not spend more! Overall brilliant shopping experience and I'll continue to shop with FCUK when my purse allows.

yet another reason to go to a responsible breeder
I have a co-worker who just in the last 2 weeks got a golden puppy.
When he mentioned it to me, I told him about reputable breeders vs backyard breeders and clearances etc...
But, they'd already seen and fallen in love with the puppy, so they went ahead with that. I can't really blame them, I know I'd have a hard time walking away after seeing the pups!
I did tell them to at least get the puppy to a vet within the first day or so after they got her home.
Puppy has a heart murmur, more than just a puppy murmur.
They took her to a specialist for an ultrasound and are waiting on the results now.
I guess they had a few conversations with the "breeder" and in one of the conversations they got the impression that the breeder know about the heart murmur but didn't mention it to them.
The breeder did tell them that if they wanted to return the puppy to do it soon so they could sell it to someone else before it go too old

What a disgusting individual (the "breeder). I hope your friends get a good prognosis. Heart murmurs can be managed and the dog can have a normal life.

What in the... That just makes me so mad! I really hope the news your coworker gets is good and able to be managed and no way would I be giving that pup back..ever.
As far as walking away from a bad breeder..i have done it. It was hard but I couldnt support a bad breeder nor have the means to afford a badly bred dog. It was when I was looking for my Jack Russell. Went to a very scary place.. Pretty much told them I had to make a phone call to my hubby and hauled my butt outta there!

I know, I'm hoping they get a good prognosis.
I don't think the place was that scary! I get the impression its your typical, I have a dog and you have a dog, lets get them together.
I just can't believe how unscrupulous they seem to be! They'll just resell her!!!
I don't think I could give her back regardless of the prognosis. They have a 7yr old though and are concerned about a really bad prognosis. Unfortunately before they got the dog and I was trying to explain clearances I told them about some people that I know that had a dog with PAS (I don't think it was SAS) that had it die while playing at 6 months old. They are hesitant to have that situation with a small child.
I just heard from my co-worker.
The puppy was diagnosed with mild SAS.
The vets don't expect it to progress any further.
They are keeping her!

PAS, which I believe was actually PS (its been a long time since this happened) had to do with the pulmonary valve I believe.
upon a bit more research, this is what my other friends puppy died of, I remember there was an extra shunt involved (patent ductus arteriosis PDA)
I'm just disgusted the breeder told them to bring the puppy back to be re-sold!
Is that common practice - if a buyer returns a puppy for any reason to re-sell it at some point?
But very, very glad to hear that the murmur is mild and that they will be keeping the puppy
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm. As you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others. (Audrey Hepburn)
I think if people return a puppy that is a healthy happy puppy there is no reason not to resell it.
This is obviously not a good breeder. They sold a puppy that they knew had some sort of heart murmur without telling the buyers!

At long last, we have our four-team College Football Playoff selections. Agree or disagree with the picks, there are issues with how we got there.
After the first week of College Football Playoff rankings left a bit to be desired, we found out Tuesday whether the committee learned anything.
A couple decades ago, few in college football would have dreamed of placing Virginia Tech in the same elite class as Michigan.

I was pulled over a few months ago and received a ticket for Driving with an expired sticker, License not in my possesion, and a Car Seat Violation. I was giving a warning for all but the Car Seat Violation My 4 year old daughter was in a booster seat(not the high back type).
According to the officer she had to be 5 to be in a booster seat. Her Doctor as well as my hometown Police Department said she was fine in a booster seat because her height and weight were over the minimum requirements for such. (I was pulled over by state police).I explained this to the officer that was told by Town Police and her Pediatrician that she was OK for it, and he told me it didn't matter she had to be 5 years old. I have filed for a appeal for the ticket, am I in the right, that regardless of age if my daughters height and weight are over the limits for her high back, but fit in the regulations for a booster then it's legal? or does she have to be 5 years regardless of height and weight?
Editor's Response
My understanding of the new child safety seat law is that it requires all children to use a federally approved car seat or booster seat until they reach the age of eight or attain a height of 4 feet 9 inches. For more information, see Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 90, Section 7AA. Section 7AA states: "A passenger in a motor vehicle on any way who is under the age of 8 shall be fastened and secured by a child passenger restraint, unless such passenger measures more than 57 inches in height. The child passenger restraint shall be properly fastened and secured according to the manufacturer's instructions."
I'm not an expert on this issue (and, frankly, I'm a bit confused by the information I found on government sites), but I don't believe the law makes a distinction between car seats and booster seats and has been interpreted to require parents to move the child to a booster seat when the child reaches the weight limit on their forward facing child safety seat. Here is a link to the state Office of Public Safety site regarding child safety seats. Perhaps you should try calling that office for some clarification. Please let our readers know what you discover by updating this thread.
Child Booster seat laws MA
The law does state facts about a child's age, however if you check with your insurance company or your local DMV they will give information based upon what state you live in. In researching this for my sister because her children are overweight, I found that that it's not age that determines when a child no longer has to ride in a child safety seat, it's weight. Also you should always appeal any traffic citation you recieve if you feel it's in error. If you do any research or have any notes from the child's doctor pertaining to the child's weight or disability bring them to the hearing.

The Tribeca Awards were given out on May 1 at the Target Tribeca Filmmakers Lounge. The awards are all juried and recognize excellence in a variety of categories. It couldn't have been an easy task to pick the best out of so many films.
I was particularly pleased that one of the recipients was Let the Right One In the Swedish film based on the novel by John Ajvide Lindquist.
It was the first film I saw at the festival and it's extraordinary. The film was awarded "The Founders Award for Best Narrative Feature". Director Tomas Alfredson wins a $25,000 cash prize for his film that is a reinvention of the vampire myth.
The Cadillac award has not yet been presented. This is the audience choice for best film of the festival and it will be announced on Saturday.
I'm surprised not to see an award for best animated short film and feature. There were quite a few at the festival. One was the hilarious short Zombie Gets a Date by Leetal Platt and the full length feature by the great animator Bill Plympton Idiots and Angels.
The awards categories give a good idea of the variety of different films from all over the world. I learned one thing about Tribeca and that it's a film lover's dream.
I'm impressed that all the films I viewed were good to great. Not something you get to experience these days when so many films fail to live up to their hype.
These films, none of which had much hype got their chance to shine because of the Tribeca Film Festival.
And now some of them not only have the reward of being seen but have the honor of receiving an award from the jury.
Highlights of the awards and the announcement of the Cadillac Award can be seen on WNBC at 7:30 on Saturday night.
Full list of Winners:
The Founders Award for Best Narrative Feature – Let The Right One In (Lat den rätte komma in), directed by Tomas Alfredson (Sweden). Winner receives $25,000 cash and the art award Maternal Nocture: Clearing Storm, created by Stephen Hannock.
Jury Comments: "For its mesmerizing exploration of loneliness and alienation through masterful reexamination of the vampire myth."

Jury Comments: "For its skillful blending of documentary style with a classic love story and ultimate creation of a truly modern and unlikely international heroine."
Best Actor in a Narrative Feature Film – Thomas Turgoose and Piotr Jagiello in Somers Town, directed by Shane Meadows (UK). Sponsored by Delta Air Lines. Each winner receives a business elite ticket voucher for anywhere Delta travels.
Jury Comments: "For an extraordinary and exhilarating rendering of a friendship found, the Narrative Feature Jury is awarding the Best Actor prize to this magical team."
Best Actress in a Narrative Feature Film – Eileen Walsh in Eden, directed by Declan Recks (Ireland). Sponsored by Delta Air Lines. Winner receives two business elite ticket vouchers for anywhere Delta travels.
Jury Comments: "For her exquisite rendering of a lonely wife aching to be seen and heard."
Best Documentary Feature – Pray the Devil Back to Hell, directed by Gini Reticker (USA). Winner receives $25,000 cash and the art award Liza Minnelli, created by Timothy White.
Jury Comments: "In a relentless pursuit of peace, the women of Liberia show us how community, motherly love, and perseverance can change the fate of a society. Pray the Devil Back to Hell is a reminder that we have the power to say 'Enough!' to the atrocities of our world."
Best New Documentary Filmmaker – Old Man Bebo, directed by Carlos Carcas (Spain). Winner receives $25,000 cash, sponsored by American Express, and the art award Maquette for Primary Compass, created by Don Gummer.
Jury Comments: "We the jury feel that Carlos Carcas showed us that if you truly have art in your body and soul it will find its way out into the world. We applaud the filmmaker for bringing Old Man Bebo into our consciousness."
New York State LOVES Film Best Documentary – Zoned In, directed by Daniela Zanzotto (USA,UK). Winner receives $5,000 cash, sponsored by New York State Governor's Office for Motion Picture and Television Development, and the art award Table Odeon, created by Donna Ferrato.
Special Mention: Hotel Gramercy Park, directed by Douglas Keeve (USA).
Jury Comments: "This was a challenging and spirited discussion with two clear favorites: both films are very different and the jury felt that both should get equal mention even though only one gets the prize. We thought Hotel Gramercy Park was a highly entertaining and moving story about a New York family and a New York institution coming to terms with a changing city, but in the end we felt Zoned In deserved the prize for having the bravery to tell a seemingly typical story that ends up revealing bold and difficult truths."
Made In NY Narrative – The Caller, directed by Richard Ledes (USA). Winner receives $5,000 cash, sponsored by The City of New York Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting, and the art award Nude on Guitar, created by Ralph Gibson.
Jury Comments: "The Caller superbly uses its New York locations, from the sleek mid-town high-rises to the desolate Brooklyn Bridge piers, to create a chilling and finally stirring suspense movie: an unusual thriller whose mysterious plot finally exposes the mysteries of the heart."
Best Narrative Short – New Boy, directed by Steph Green. Sponsored by Edelman Studios. Winner receives $5,000 cash and the art award Air, created by Francesco Clemente.
Jury Comments: "New Boy took us on a complete emotional journey. It was moving, funny, and powerful."
Best Documentary Short –Mandatory Service, directed by Jessica Habie. Sponsored by Edelman Studios. Winner receives $5,000 cash and the art award The Screamer, created by John Alexander.
Jury Comments: "Mandatory Service, a perspective of war and conflict from participants themselves. The Israeli's empathy for the Palestinians is not a perspective we glimpse too often in Western media."
Student Visionary Award – Elephant Garden, directed by Sasie Sealy. Sponsored by Apple. Winner receives an Apple Mac Pro Desktop with a 15″ Display, Final Cut Studio 2, and the art award Harmonium, created by Clifford Ross.
Jury Comments: "Elephant Garden captured the inner life of a beautiful young girl and her confusion as she becomes a young adult. Wonderful visual storytelling, and the performance of Kelley Mack is stellar."

The Carnal Critic
Pauline Kael and the primacy of pleasure.
Pauline Kael stood only 4 feet 9 inches tall, but a decade after her death (and two decades after she published her last New Yorker review), her shadow still towers over the landscape of film criticism. Like it or lump it, if you write about movies in America today (and in the age of the Internet, who doesn't?), you define yourself at least in part in relation to Kael. In fact, you probably channel her from time to time without realizing it. Even the second-person "you" in those sentences echoes Kael's chummy yet bullying voice: To read her is to be grabbed by the lapels and yanked down into the theater seat next to her. "She'd have liked you," a colleague said to me, shortly after Kael's death and my start as a critic. It was a curiously heady, almost hubristic thought to entertain. For the nearly quarter of a century that she reigned as the New Yorker's doyenne of film criticism and one of the country's most visible public intellectuals, there were few cultural dispensations that conferred as much power as being liked by Pauline Kael. Her approbation could make a director's or writer's career, and her antipathy could sink it.
Only now, after reading Pauline Kael: A Life in the Dark, Brian Kellow's new biography of this movie-mad daughter of an immigrant Jewish chicken farmer from Petaluma, Calif., do I realize what a double-edged sword it would have been to be liked by Pauline Kael. Maybe it's just as well we never met, though she does sound like wonderfully lively company. The woman whose 82-year-long life Kellow chronicles in this meticulously researched, sympathetic book was a real piece of work: self-assured to the point of arrogance, boundlessly energetic and brashly combative, capable of generously nurturing talent in the filmmakers and journalists she admired and then, just as brusquely, abandoning or betraying them.
In her personal life Kael could wear heavy armor; one friend describes her as a lover of vigorous debate who almost never changed her mind about anything. On the page, though, she was capable of extraordinary self-exposure. Her diaristic asides, for which there was ample room in reviews that sometimes ran up to 9,000 words, became a trademark beloved by her fans and mocked by her detractors. Kael's deepest self seems to have poured out in her film criticism, as she acknowledged late in life when asked why she didn't write a memoir: "I think I have." In her review of the 1963 Paul Newman Western Hud, a semiautobiographical description of the long summer nights on Western ranches segues into a vivid childhood memory of playing alone in a barn while her father paid a visit to his mistress. Kael's sudden bursts of self-revelation, the way she moves seamlessly from a discussion of the images onscreen to a glimpse of her internal life, recall a performer who only truly comes alive on stage. (Judy Garland, another pop artist with an uncanny ability to connect with her public, comes to mind.)
Taken as a whole, Kael's work stands as a sprawling, proudly ramshackle monument to the primacy of pleasure as a critical principle. Kael's body—the carnal instrument through which she apprehended and responded to what she saw onscreen—tended to be present in her reviews to a degree that made some readers uncomfortable. In a celebrated broadside against Kael in the New York Review of Books, Renata Adler deplored her frequent use of images of "sexual conduct, deviance, impotence, masturbation; also of indigestion, elimination, excrement." Three decades later, Adler's white-gloved queasiness reads as prissy. The critical voice that has prevailed is Kael's sensuous, earthy, often bawdy one, present even in the coyly naughty titles of her collected reviews: I Lost It At the Movies, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Going Steady, Deeper Into Movies.
Rhapsodizing about Robert Altman's Nashville (in a review that irked many of her fellow critics, who complained that she had been shown an unfinished version far in advance of the film's opening), Kael wrote that "Altman, from a Catholic background, has what Joyce had: a love of the supreme juices of everyday life." Those "supreme juices" were what Kael went to the movies for as well. Praising Barbra Streisand's vitality in Funny Girl, she noted approvingly, "She simply drips." John Travolta's "thick, raw sensuality" in Saturday Night Fever inspired a similarly erotic reaction; his "pent-up physicality," Kael wrote, left the audience in a state of "pop rapture."
Kael's review of Bernardo Bertolucci's taboo-shattering Last Tango in Paris is one long frisson of pleasure at the film's "thrusting, jabbing eroticism"—a pleasure that's only intensified by being mixed with disgust. She concludes on a note of open-ended wonderment: "I've tried to describe the impact of a film that has made the strongest impact on me in almost twenty years of reviewing. … I don't believe there's anyone whose feelings can be totally resolved about the sex scenes and the social attitudes in this film." Kael loved movies that left her somehow off balance, overwhelmed by the intensity of her response, and some of her most powerful writing occurs at these moments of vulnerability.
It's no accident that Kael's golden age as a writer—the late '60s through the late '70s, when she shared the New Yorker critic post with Penelope Gilliatt, each reviewing movies for half the year—coincided with the great flowering of American independent cinema (Coppola, Scorsese, Altman). Kael's voice was perfectly suited to the new cinematic style of the time—coarsely vernacular and formally imperfect but raw, bold, and inventive. She was something of an easy rider herself, a wisecracking iconoclast like one of the anti-authoritarian Army surgeons in Altman's M*A*S*H.
And like Walt Whitman—another great American runner-off-at-the-mouth—if she contradicted herself, very well then, she contradicted herself.
