Identity Theft
A stolen identity is a powerful cloak of anonymity for criminals and terrorists…and a danger to national security and private citizens alike.
For the FBI, identity theft is nothing new. We've been dealing with criminals faking IDs for decades, from check forgers to fugitives on the run. But the threat is more pervasive and the scams more sophisticated than ever, including new online elements.
We use both our criminal and cyber resources—along with our intelligence capabilities—to identify and stop crime groups in their early stages and to root out the many types of perpetrators, which span our investigative priorities. We also tap into our investigative partnerships with federal, state, and local law enforcement (including dedicated task forces in major cities) as well as our information-sharing partnerships with every sector of business, government, and education. And we reach out with information and education to make sure identity theft doesn't happen to you.

This review is from Badge Holders - Neck Hanging Style 2922:
I used the Avery online design service to design name tags for a few employees. I was very happy with the result - the design was simple, clear and attractive. I was able to upload our logo into the design easily, and finding colors to match our theme wasn't difficult either. The finished product arrived yesterday and so far I am happy with the quality - we'll have to see how it holds up on construction sites (I'm doubting they'll withstand those rigors, but since I only needed two name cards and the minimum order is 24 badges, I have extras to replace them should anything happen).

This review is from Badge Holders - Landscape 2921:
I'm not sure why Avery keeps changing these badge holders. Now both sides of the pocket are the same height so you have to insert the paper name badge and then insert the clip. Or, in order to have a supply ready to go, I just inserted the clip into the one side so I can access the pocket to insert the paper badge. It isn't as clean or professional a look. A step down in my opinion - and very disappointing for what is supposed to be the industry leader.

Great product! I use this for all of our company meetings.

There'll be no scene if you don't support gay venues
It's up to gay punters to keep Sydney's gay scene alive, writes Penny Clifford.
I'm sure it was only a couple of months ago that the next big thing that was going to save drag and gay nightclubs was Unity. It seemed the whole gay scene was yelling, 'Bravo'. UNITY had no lockouts, good DJs and shows. But apart from opening night, the crowds dwindled. Why?
I also remember when Gay Bar got its fair share of applause too. This bar had amazing appearances by queens from RuPaul's Drag Race and a great atmosphere with a unique branding. It seemed Gay Bar was the hip spot to be. Well, for a minute anyway – how quickly those queens went quiet.
Then the Midnight Shift closed its doors a few nights a week and put itself up for sale, but after a short time with no offers, the owners decided to reopen the gay doors and they got a 'bravo' when it was announced that it was no longer up for sale and would reopen full time as a gay club. But how long will the bravo last?
But even before that, people were yelling 'bravo' at the Imperial Hotel for making a comeback with shows in the Cabaret Bar. Indeed, we had award winning casts, great shows, the best DJs. But with the costs of wages, costumes and running a venue, drag was not enough to keep the cabaret doors open. For the Imperial, large production drag shows were a thing of the past. Yes, drag shows have survived but only in the pub bar, six nights a week.
The Stonewall Hotel and Arq seem to be hanging in there with their shows and I hope they continue. But with both these clubs dealing with lockout issues and drink stopping at 3am, how long can they pay costs to keep the doors open?
There are some smaller boutique clubs like Palms and others that offer the odd gay event, but most venues will have to diversify to stay open.
The average punter does not realise the money it takes to run a venue. Apart from the obvious like rent, mortgage and staffing costs, there is insurance, OLGR fees, Apra fees, PPCA fees, venue maintenance, costumes, taxes – the list goes on and on and on.
I have been blasted myself for finding ways to keep the Imperial doors open such as bringing in bands and dance parties that are not gay-only events. But we are surviving now and this is through no help from the gay punter, although I am happy to still see gay parties at the Imperial like Woof Club, Harbour City Bears, Bake Off and Dykes on Bikes Ball.
Is this change because we have fought so hard to be accepted in everyday life that we now go to any venue and not feel the need to be isolated in gay venues alone? If this is the case, then it's great we finally have that much acceptance. Ironically, this acceptance is causing us to lose the clubs that have been our safe havens for decades.
Or is the reason less people are frequenting gay bars is due to dating apps like Grindr, Scruff and Tinder. Do people not need gay clubs anymore to meet others?
As for drag, is the drag scene in Sydney as we know it dying a slow death? Are people truly not interested anymore? You can see drag on TV in many shows and on YouTube too. And you can buy drag performers' albums on iTunes. All of this begs the questions: has this made the good old lip sync show a tired format?
But the one thing that remains constant is that unless YOU support your local gay venue and their shows, things will change and you will lose the shows and venues that you love.
In these tough times with lockout laws and alcohol restrictions, nothing is a given and venues are finding it tougher to survive.
Go to the venues and support them. If you don't, when they do close or not have the shows you love anymore, you forfeit the the right to complain.
Support, support, support.

BrendonIt's the music Penny. The music. Even the old warhorse Jukebox in the Impy front bar has drastically reduced the playlist to the most generic horrid 'what the gays like' doof music. And the filmclips (half the daggy fun) are interrupted with horrid ads.
I'll always love the Impy but that back room should be pumping with great DJ's who can actually read the crowd.
The Red Rattler is doing great stuff.
Craig MckellarThanks Brendon for your comment in regards to "The Music" - as one of the DJ's that used to play regularly in The Cabaret Room, I was interested to hear your comment & was wondering how the Jukebox had been received by patrons on Fri/Sat night's at the Imperial.... it was always fun keeping the crowd dancing till close after the Drag Shows were finished.... Hopefully DJ's will return to The Cabaret Room soon - hopefully a lot about our scene will change soon, you don't need to be a wizard to know the scene is under so much pressure at the moment, we all need to support these venues in order for our rich history to move forward to the next generation of the gay community. This will only happen if we show support.....at the end of the day, these venues are also a business & someones way to pay their bills & put food on their table, if the support is not there, ........ "you can't blood from a stone"... C x
Craig Mckellar*get blood from a stone.... sorry - it's late! C x
BrendonPS Kitty Glitter and the Matt Vaughan (Loose Ends) can read a crowd.
Where's the vinyl? The soul/disco? The mainstream AND indie 80's and 90's? The groove?
GDI agree with Mariah Fan that in comparison with other international cities that have a large and wealthy gay population, Sydney is really behind with respect to its gay bar culture. I agree that the scene needs to diversify - but I think it needs to diversify as from the inside - that is, it is great that Sydney's bar culture is transforming but there are no new, smaller establishments that cater specifically for a gay clientele. It's almost as though it is somehow politically incorrect for gay people to argue that there ought to be a gay "scene" separate to the straight scene. I wonder if straight people are talking about the same thing? Because, really, when we say a venue is "mixed" what this really means (or at least in Sydney) is that it is first and foremost straight. Gay people attend these establishments and hence make them "mixed". So what is so wrong about it being the other way around? I think there needs to be a shift in our ideas about what it means to be gay and that the only way to keep the scene from dying is to try and keep it gay.
jakeIts simple really. The music that is played in the clubs including in Melbourne is the issue. Stop putting on young djs who learn from a computer in their bedroom and lit on djs who can actually read the crowd. Gay clubs used to cater to all ages with djs who could play music from a large range of genres and tines to satisfiy 10-80, this created a party atmosphere. Look at the beat in qld, it still brings the crowd because the music is a good range of poo, dance, camo, r&b, house, well pretty much anything you want. I am 46, a dj of 31 years now living in Melbourne and ache to go to a club and dance, but there is nothing here with music to get me on a dance floor. Stop blaming apps, drags and venues, go back to basics and look at what people really want to do at a club - dance! Oh and stop with the 1 hr dj sets, all it does is creates a night where you heat the same crappy songs repeated every hour.
RebeccaBad drag shows, crappy, too-loud music, disproportionate cover charges, and overpriced drinks doesn't make for a fun night out, and yet the venues keep doing the same old thing and wondering why it fails.
Y'all need to diversify, stop intentionally overcharging compared to your competition, stop assuming that drag shows people have seen a hundred times before and music you can't dance to unless you're on drugs that's so loud you cant think will bring in the punters, and start appealing to more than a stereotype.
Indi Kelly EdwardsI kind of like whats happening at places like the Red Rattler where there is a new emerging alternative queer scene. I like to see more of that. Lots of live acts, reasonably priced drinks and "everyone" is welcome.
I just think the landscape is changing and some club owners don't have their fingers on the pulse. Think outside the box. Today's alternative queer scene is tomorrows mainstream.
GuestAgreed, we don't all want shitty bars with dated performances. Where is the class? The gay bars in Sydney are too gay.
dannyNew blood is what is needed - and to do that we need the government to lift the liquor freeze (for new venues) on Oxford Street. We live in a post-dance party, small bar era. Imagine if Oxford Street had half a dozen small gay bars, catering to different niches and age groups?
I remember when Stonewall first opened in the mid 90s and its main bar hasn't changed at all. That is frankly a disgrace when you consider how much money has flowed through that place.
No - the same old format won't bring back the gay community.. It's a new era and we need new ideas.
Respect to Penny for all her hard work @ Imperial - including some of the straight parties in the basement which offer better music than most gay parties.
dannyI am so with you on this
HamishI used to enjoy a Friday or Saturday night out at the Midnight Shift where it had a simple music video bar theme. Awesome! Today you are lucky to see the screens used, ordinary music and even live music in a scene that it does not suit with pricey drinks thrown in on top of a poor atmosphere. Why would you bother? I don't see a need to change instead returning to what they used to do which is where Palms has excelled in keeping it simple.
Jack LondonThe bars suck. they've always sucked. and they're expensive
Very few people actually like going to them and now they have an alternative.
either make it a more pleasant experience or shut down. the community doesn't need venues owned by heterosexual drug lords.
JohnnoYou don't do anything new and you continue to increase your drink prices. Why would I bother coming to your venue?
EsmeGrindr and Grindr like apps have destroyed the Gay community... it comes down to the rule of thirds, once you would go to a bar and find 3 types of people 1: People you want to sex with 2: People you want nothing to do with 3: People you don't want to have sex with but you would become friends with... that last third is where the true community was built from... Grindr removed that third category completely and as a consequence the Gay community is dying rapidly, it's nothing at all to do with venues or Oxford St...
BeauIn a way the article is correct that gays are not supporting these venues.
I don't think you can then say we don't support the gay community.
I think the people who run these clubs assume you create a gay club and people will come. Where is the business plan? I look to the very sucessfull Merivale group or Keystone group who have the best venues and events in town. They hire professionals to plan, design, build, cater and manage with an emphasis on design, hospitality and events. I think it is assumed that you have to be gay to run a gay venue, hire a popular dj and drag performers and people will come.
I don't think people feel they need to support something if they don't enjoy the night. We are more hedonistic by enjoying dinner with friends, cocktails at small bars and also concerned with being healthy, working out and not taking drugs.
How about adapt, change and meet the markets expectations.
Having seen venues that are not designed for performances trying to do production shows. I have seen clubs half ass hospitality (food and beverages) and then give up.
I always hear people say Gays don't spend money they do pre drinks and don't support venues.
Except for the young poor gays (mostly twinks) - The majority of the people in and around Darlinghurst & Surry Hills spend a lot on food and drinks at restaurants and trendy bars.
When I was studying business strategy at University I had this case study of a Mexican who opened a Mexican restaurant in a location where a lot of Mexicans lived. The owner had run his own company before but decided he would open this restaurant up. The opening was very busy and everyone thought the food was nice. The business failed in 5 months and closed. The owner said the Mexican community don't spend money, failed him and didn't support him,.
His mistake was he just assumed because he is Mexican and gives Mexicans Mexican food that the restaurant would be a slam dunk..
The truth was Mexicans did spend money. For example money at the new Japanese tepanyaki bar. That had no waiters.. you ordered off touch screens at your booth. They did family days and birthday parties, catering and every night someone won a prize from the gift store. . I see similarities the Sydney gay club scene.
Having been lucky enough to experience amazing clubs in places like New York and West Hollywood. Sydney disappoints. What they offer that we don't is hospitality. You can dance, or drink and talk, or smoke or eat (and stay in some) they offer customer service, the most successful venues are not run by random promoters offering themed nights as a gimmick. They tender out to who ever has the best business plan who has a long term vision. These people are successful business people (NOT failed self promoting egotistical entrepreneurs) they bring style, experience and money to they table.
What needs to be done.
1)Surround yourself with professionals with a history of success in hospitality.
2)Market research/strategise
3)Business plan
4)Investment based on business plan
5)Deliver something that exceeds expectations
Remember this is not a community but a business. If your not meeting the market needs and the business is failing..How about adapt, change and exceed the markets expectations. Look within, if you don't have the business acumen to run the business.. leave, don't blame the customer... (i.e. the gay community)
Mariah FANThe Sydney gay scene is not good at all... Having come here from the London Sydney gay bars are definitely behind the times. As someone who spent six months working in one of the bars on Oxford Street I can safely say EVERY customer I spoke to felt the same. The scene feels very dated, the venues aren't particularly appealing and the guys have a lot of attitude/are cliquey ... That doesn't bother me too much, but it I'd s comment I have heard often. Combined with that, there aren't any nice places to sit down and have a nice drink in a place with a nice atmosphere. In London I used to go out somewhere at least once a week, here I stopped going out after my first week here ... Its aweful... Shame really as Sydney is such as amazing place... I give it five years and most venues will be gone...
J.JoIt's not really fare to curse the gay community for not supporting venues.
These venues have been behind the 8 ball for years, and now crying fowl because people are taking their hard earned cash elsewhere.
If you look along Oxford St, why would you spend $8 for a beer at the Shift (a tired old venue) when you can go to any number of other venues that have ambience.
People are more interested in drag than ever, but the problem with Sydney is the "Maxi Shield effect".
People don't want to see the same talentless queens doing the same average shows!
Bring in some new blood and the people will follow!
michaeli think the problem is that venues haven't diversified. palms is a success because it offers handbag and retro. it has catered to its niche ( a very big one) and is always packed on a weekend. Perhaps all of the venues need to rethink the music, djs, shows and the overpricing. people want value for money. every gay venue on oxford st that opens looks so sterile and pretencious. u cant hear yourself speak and they all look like they were designed by the same guy. dark and pretencious altra modern. trying to win over fickle showy queens instead of the loyal pub goer.
RichardI don't know why the younger generation is not supporting the "scene". I'm 35, which frankly, in gay years is ancient. I've never been the clubbing type. Hard of hearing, chubby build guy, not traditionally oxford street clone style, I've always felt out of place at gay venues.
Maybe that's the problem, the scene has simply turned too many people off with it's usual bitchy ways. The internet would certainly have helped along the way, now you don't have to deal with rejection from a random drunk face to face.
People often lament, the scene is not the same since the closing of the Albury, however, the golden days of the gay scene, not just in Sydney, but around the world, are long gone.
For me, I just prefer to stay home. Cook a lovely meal, sit down, watch some brilliant documentaries and feed my brain, rather than piss money up against a wall, all in the vain home of getting a shag and having a "good time".

Please note this is a draft for discussion purposes, prior to review by the W3C Advisory Committee.
The mission of the Declarative 3D for the Web Architecture Community Group is to determine the requirements, options, and use cases for an integration of interactive 3D graphics capabilities into the W3C technology stack. This group is aimed to extract core features out of the requirements as foundation to propose feasible technical solutions. These should cover the majority of 3D use cases for the Web – but not necessarily all of them.
There are upcoming open (e.g. WebGL) and proprietary (e.g. Adobe) proposals for imperative graphics APIs in the Web context but we are missing an easy way to add interactive high-level declarative 3D objects to the HTML-DOM to allow anyone to easily create, share, and experience interactive 3D graphics – with possibly wide ranging effects similar to those caused by the broad availability of video on the Web.
The Community Group aims at creating the necessary technical and organizational prerequisites to eventually start a Working Group.

His parish, which sponsors an innovative cultural arts program, including several musical ensembles and a theater arts group, is setting a model for engaging young people in positive, creative pursuits, inspiring them on the road to meaningful and fulfilling lives. Hearing Father Bruce tell his story is both poignant and inspirational. Hearing the joyous music of young people who have become professional musicians under his guidance is to experience the sounds of hope.
Father Bruce Wellems is pastor of Holy Cross/Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in a community known as the Back of the Yards. The neighborhood owes it's name to the once world-renowned Chicago Stockyards. It is situated in a heavily industrialized location and has been populated by successive generations of immigrant people since the 1800's. American author Upton Sinclair used this neighborhood as the setting for his famous novel, "The Jungle," published in 1906. Today the Back of the Yards is a predominantly Mexican- American community with a 90-percent Catholic population.
Bob Herbert, in an article in the New York Times
on Jul 14, 2007, claims that the conditions of the boys and girls
growing up in Father Bruce's neighborhood "can fairly be compared to combat." He
writes, "Beyond the guns, apart from the horrifying fact that
they might meet up with a bullet at any time, poor youngsters are suffering
from a ruthless pattern of abuse and neglect that has lasted for many
Too few have been afforded the benefits of a quality education. Too many are left to their own devices because of an absence of after-school programs and other kinds of activities -- clubs, sports, art and music programs, summer camps -- that can enrich the lives of children and shield them from harm."
Recently, I've gotten to know Father Bruce, over the phone, interviewing him for articles promoting a concert I'm producing of the children's marimba group he is bringing to my rural mountain town in Colorado. He described his dramatic introduction to the marimba:
"I was in Guatemala in a small village on lake," he recalled. "This was a village that was very poor, full of malaria, oppressed, no doctor, no electricity with about 75 families. The priest came to say Mass only once a year. We got there by canoe; that's how remote this was.
"They had just brought the campesinos down from a farm to hear the Mass. It was at night and the priest was saying Mass in a small chapel when the army came. It scared the heck out of me. The priest was used to it, but I was just visiting and I had never seen sixteen year-olds with automatic weapons. I was afraid we were going to all get killed.
"When the army left, at about eleven o'clock at night, these kids brought out the marimbas. They started playing and it was the most beautiful sound I'd ever heard. They played until about two in the morning, the moon came out and it was an extremely powerful moment in my life. I thought, 'oh, thank God!'
"So, when I came to Chicago I determined in my heart that I was going to get a marimba and get the kids to play it at Mass. I saw it work in Guatemala and I felt it could work in Chicago."
That was in 1984. Father Bruce now has many children actively involved in marimba groups, playing not only for church services, but also averaging a hundred concert performance a year.
Father Bruce who was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He has been working in Chicago's Back of the Yards neighborhood since the 1984. I asked him how he developed his orientation towards community service. He explained that it evolved through his experiences in church work.
"I never considered myself as a social worker or social activist until I started to go out and get to know people," he said.
"I was asked by an eleven year-old kid to see his brother who was shot in the knee. His brother was fourteen. At first I didn't want to go. I had no interest in kids who didn't involve themselves in healthy activities of the church. I thought, 'this is a gang kid.' But the eleven year-old, who was a member of our children's choir, kept asking me to come to see his brother. Finally, I went to his house and there was his brother still on the couch from an operation on his knee. He said, 'Father, I want to go to school.' And that caught my heart.
"I thought if somebody wants to do good for themselves and they have a willingness to better their lives, I have to be interested. So I took this kid to a high school and I found out that he just couldn't go to any high school because there was a lot of gang activity. He'd been shot so he was afraid of other kids. I finally put him in a Catholic school."
The boy introduced Father Bruce to some of his friends who were had dropped out of school. "I found out that sixty-percent of our teenagers from age 14 to 18 drop out of school, most of them by the tenth grade. I saw how terrific a problem this was; that it created kids hanging out on the street, without jobs, with no direction, and no programs available to them. I thought this is a good mission for the church."
Father Bruce initiated a collaboration with the local park supervisor and together they formed groups that met regularly for athletic events. "We did basketball tournaments with them and we took them to see Michael Jordon. Out of that we started an alternative public high school and that's been my main project, getting these kids educated and into jobs that help them with life skills. When we began, the school district administrators called me into the office and said, 'You can't teach religion.' I said, 'No problem, that's the least of my concerns.'
Father Bruce's philosophy is inclusive and humanitarian. "The church, to me, is like the cement that holds the bricks together. We have to be in relationship with one another and that means with other churches as well; everybody trying to help these kids, and whatever resources we can bring to it, that's what we use."
Having spent most of my professional life involved
with public schools through musical assembly programs my wife, Carla,
and I perform, I was struck with Father Bruce's commitment
to collaborating with public schools.
"Our big push has been to form a coalition made up of the public school principals. The churches are involved, the businesses are involved and the park is involved, but the agenda is driven by the principals of the schools because they will always have an interest in kids. They're dealing with all the problems in school. They don't have a choice; the poorest of the poor go to public schools. That's why our parish in committed to working with the public school system."
In Herbert's article, he writes, "This should be a major national story, of course, and it would be if the slain children had come from more privileged backgrounds."
It's true that the horrors the children in Chicago and other inner cities are greatly under-reported. But besides the horrors, we also need to know more about the compassionate work of inspiring community servants like Father Bruce who are really doing something to make a positive difference in the lives of these children.
Rambo and the Dalai Lama:
The Compulsion to Win and
Its Threat to Human
A book by Gordon Fellman, Brandeis University
with a Foreword by the Dalai Lama
(Albany: SUNY Press, 1998)
Rambo and the Dalai Lama suggests that the assumption that human life is based on conflicts of interest, wars, and opposition of people to each other and to nature exists as a paradigm that supplies meaning and orientation to the world. An alternative paradigm sees cooperation, caring, nurturing, and loving as equally viable ways of organizing relationships of humans to each other and to nature. Fellman sees this shifting emphasis from adversarialism to mutuality as essential to the survival of our species and nature itself.
~~ introductory essay by the author ~~
This book builds from the proposition that until now most encounters have been organized so that the point of them is to overcome the other. This is true for the most part of relations between men and women, parents and children, whites and non-whites, leaders and publics, rich and poor, labor and management, athletic teams, business firms, advanced societies and developing societies, straight and gay, tall and short, well and ill, and so on.
I call this assumption that one must strive to overcome or submit to being overcome, the basis of the adversary paradigm. It also applies to humans' relations to nature which, like people, has been constructed as an enemy to be overcome.
The ultimate expression of the adversary tendency is murder, and that collectively is war. War has usually been fought with the maximum technology available. The use of atomic bombs in 1945 suddenly and drastically cast adversarialism in a new light. For the first time in the history of warfare, it became possible, indeed likely, that in using maximum technology in all-out confrontation, overcoming the other would necessarily also mean overcoming the self; i.e., homicide became inextricable from suicide.
The threat of massive destruction by nuclear devices was complemented by another form of technological assault, the industrial degradation of the environment to the point of numerous deaths and severely damaged systems of land, water, and air needed for survival. The human tendency toward adversarialism has become incarnated in objective processes which neither created nor defined adversarialism but rather came to represent it in stark, terrifying ways.
Historically, alongside the adversary paradigm and in secondary relation to it is the mutuality paradigm, based on the mutuality assumption that the other can be a friend, a colleague, an ally. Religious notions of community and love flow from this paradigm, even if they are ordinarily undercut by the adversary organization and practices of organized religion. Political systems idealize mutuality in official documents like constitutions and in politicians' rhetoric but contradict it in their behavior. The same is true in most if not all other institutions such as education and the family.
My claim is that in order to survive adversarial forms of onslaught, including the ethnic and religious strife which appears to be replacing the one over-arching conflict of the Cold War, mutuality will need to become the primary governing paradigm in human affairs and in humans' relations with the environment, inverting the historic and continuing condition where adversarialism is primary and mutuality, secondary.
My analysis attempts to provide a useful vocabulary for what I see as fundamental crises, indeed survival issues, on our planet today. It is a contemporary version of the timeless contrast between competition and cooperation. I find that in the speaking and teaching I do on this topic, people pick up the words and concepts I use and employ them immediately, and most effectively.
The central innovation of my presentation is my analysis of adversarialism and mutuality as coming in both normative and compulsive or pathological forms. By the adversary compulsion, I mean something beyond ordinary competition in sport, business, or any other social context. I mean an addiction, a drivenness that subordinates other considerations to a passion, indeed an obsession, with "winning." It is this compulsion that, for example, defines the destructiveness of political systems that forsake the political possibility of resolving real societal problems, in favor of destroying the other candidate, the other party, the other program, no matter what it may be.
I also identify a mutuality compulsion. Including in mutuality the ideas of empathy, recognition of the full humanness of the other, caring, nurturing, support, and love, I see mutuality that denies adversary inclinations as compulsive, just as I see adversarialism that denies mutuality inclinations as compulsive. Based on denial of essential parts of the self, each form of compulsion works against the possible reconciliation of humans and nature to each other in ways that can enhance human survival and well-being.
The book goes on to deconstruct both compulsions. I claim that people tend to project upon others qualities they have been taught they can not and must not face in themselves. Hence the other becomes the repository of the selfish, dirty, violent, lustful, failed, immoral parts of oneself that one denies, and as well, the nobler, communal, loving, caring parts of the self that extend beyond immediate friend and family relations and which most people feel are beyond their capacity to realize. In both cases one assumes that one ought not or can not achieve what is implied in one's desires.
Survival requires what I call reappropriation of the full range of qualities that the self is. In a chapter called "Reappropriation of the Self," I offer an analysis of the extent and nature of what can be reappropriated.
I also claim that a more fully mutualistic society is already at hand, but in minor form that is difficult to recognize until it is identified. Most people are familiar with mutuality in some contexts but so far fail to see their proliferation, their connections, and the possibility of a freer organization of society based on mutuality as its premise rather than adversarialism. In three chapters on "Seeds of Mutuality," I examine old seeds in old institutions, new seeds in old institutions, and new seeds in new institutions.
The book nears its end with an analysis of what I see as the major alternative to the destructiveness of the endless adversary relations with which we are currently saddled: globalism -- recognition of the globe as the primary unit of loyalty. I see a global culture already emerging in outline form in political values, language, economy, music, religion, and more. My goal is to analyze and to move beyond analysis in offering hope in the form of visions of mutuality and actions to help bring it about.
Believing that films speak to and reveal major concerns and phenomenological definitions of character, issues, and tendencies in a society, I illustrate many major points by way of interpretations of major motion pictures including High Noon, The Godfather, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, ET, Rambo, Silence of the Lambs, and Strangers in Good Company. This use of films is in the tradition of Erik Erikson's work on the films Wild Strawberries and The Childhood of Maxim Gorky and is an alternative to the more conventional analysis of literature in such contexts. Some popular music lyrics are used to illustrate points about adversarialism and mutuality in popular culture beyond film. Numerous contemporary issues and events, such as reproductive rights, criminal justice, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, also are examine closely to elucidate and extend the analysis.

The iconic playwright Rajiv Joseph (Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo) presents a different kind of tragic love story, in the Rogue Machine Theatre's current production of "Gruesome Playground Injuries." The story brings together two childhood friends, who first meet (not cute) in the school nurse's office, where wounded Doug (impeccably performed by Brad Fleischer), has just fallen from the roof on his bicycle and meets Kayleen ( the strikingly intense Jules Willcox), tormented by self imposed destruction (cutting), and a depressive streak.
Their characters develop profoundly, as they come to life onstage, (physical and emotional wounds and all), as they maneuver their gut wrenching journey of reuniting in various infirmaries, mental hospitals, and assorted hospital rooms. The set is quite cleverly self-contained, as the two performers themselves, rearrange the very same bed, in each set change, as well as change clothes and reapply wounds and dressings, and wash off blood from previous scenes. As each scene progresses, and the intensity of their conditions and illnesses escalate, each performer struggles to alleviate each other's pain, and as a result of commiseration, their inhibitions lessen and empathy increases.
The play showcases two extremely talented performers, who convincingly 'hold their own,' and the audience captive, throughout the entire 85 minute performance. Fleischer and Willcox maintain a natural chemistry and wide range of emotion, and the inherent ability to share the message of how truly precious life is, despite one tragic accident prone event after another. Each secret they share shed light on the darkness of their formative years.
With their emotions quite literally worn on their sleeves, and blood stained skin, the co-dependent love we witness in this drama is both sensitive and dysfunctional in one, with each character enveloped in drama and tragedy. As if love is not enough, this play poignantly explores how the intersection of bruises, scars, wounds, pain, and ultimately connection, bring two lives together, to ultimately share a lifelong bond; to gain one another's love through the cumulative effect of their damage.
Every single line of dialogue is intrinsic in delivering a play quite evocative and simply compelling.
Through July 14th, Saturdays, 5PM; Sundays 7PM; and Mondays 8PM

Bluewater Energy Services constructs and operates floating production and storage offshore vessels. The Akoa Mizu, measuring 42 m height and 248.12 m length, is mainly utilized as a secure and stable floating platform for gas and oil manufacturing activities. It is also employed for other offshore operations such as synthesizing and segregating incoming well effluent into gas, water and oil.
The seawater environment and the presence of hydrogen sulfide and CO2 in gaseous forms increase the hazard of corrosion on the Akoa Mizu. Hence, a thermal spray zinc coating was applied on the vessel's flare boom.
MTM Metalizing's General Manager, Bill Jordan commented that the zinc coating on the vessel's flare boom will offer superior and durable protection when compared to competitive anti-corrosion methods.
Jordan further said that although the initial expenditure of the thermal spray coating is higher, it reduces maintenance expenditure throughout the life of the project, ensuing savings for Bluewater Energy Services. As a floating production and offloading system, the Akoa Mizu needs to stay on the corrosive offshore environment for up to 10 years with no dry-docking for maintenance and hence demands MTM's zinc coating application, he added.

Wind energy is of increasing importance for a sustainable energy supply worldwide. At the same time, concerns about the number of birds and bats being killed at wind turbines have been growing. In this situation, methods for a reliable estimation of bird and bat fatality numbers are needed. To obtain an unbiased estimate of the number of fatalities from fatality searches, the probability to detect the carcass of an animal being killed at a turbine has to be assessed by considering carcass persistence rate, searcher efficiency and the probability that a killed animal falls into a searched area. Here, we describe a new formula to determine the detection probability of birds or bats that are killed at wind turbines and which can estimate the number of fatalities from the number of carcasses found. The formula was developed to analyse a large data set of bats killed at wind turbines in Germany. In simulations, we compared it to three other formulas used in this context. Our new formula seems to have unbiased results when searcher efficiency and carcass removal rate are constant over time. When searcher efficiency or carcass removal rate varied with time, all four formulas showed a similar bias. These comparative results can be used to choose between methods depending on the quality of information available. Our estimator can, for instance, be adapted to different situations including temporal changes of searcher efficiency or carcass removal rate because it is based on an explicit process model.

Grow Up!: Another Day, Another Fake Bigfoot Sighting
This is a presumably fake-ass video of a Bigfoot sighting in Provo Canyon, Utah. I'm not positive what the hell I was looking at, but I'm pretty confident it was either a bear, a dog burying some turds in a hole, or a person in a gorilla costume. And is it just a coincidence that the video came out during Halloween week, when gorilla costume rentals are at their peak? *banging gavel* Tarp and feather them! "That's not the saying." BURN THEM UP AS STEAK.
Hit the jump for the video but don't watch it because they really don't deserve the Youtube views.
Thanks to ChaosLex and rob, who don't always see Bigfoot, but when they do they collect proof-positive evidence that it was him because they're not spazzes like everyone else who sees him.

Barney Frank blames military… –
I hate to agree with this slobbering curmudgeon but he's right. Along with all of the entitlement spending, our troops should be pulled back from countries such as Germany and Japan who have existed nicely over the years while the US protected their interests. What Barney fails to acknowledge is that this fraction of our spending needs to be matched up with the lion share spending that is given away to the welfare state. That also needs to be scaled back. Sounds like an area that compromise would be a great play.

Noah: "PG-13" (2 Hour, 18 min)
Starring: Russell Crowe, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, Jennifer Connelly, Anthony Hopkins
Directed by: Darren Aronofsky
OK, let's put this out there right up front. We all know the story of Noah. He was a man who spoke to God, gathered two of every kind of animal in the world, put them on a large ark, and weathered a flood that lasted 40 days and 40 nights, in order to cleanse the world of evil and restart mankind in a newly fresh world. Yep, that's all of it, in a world ravaged by human sin, Noah is given a divine mission: to build an Ark to save creation from the coming flood.
And while this film is essentially that story, it is told from a perspective that we've never quite seen prior to now. Starting from the beginning when we learn that Adam and Eve had three sons, Cain, Able, and Seth (yeah, we never heard of him either). After Can killed Able he and his descendants went off (essentially to become the godless evil ones that were eventually whipped out by the flood), while the children of Seth followed in the footsteps of goodness and righteousness to become the ancestors of Noah (Crowe). Meanwhile, Noah, with the help of the Nephilim (fallen angels), Noah constructs this massive ship to rescue the animals.
Leading the eventual hoard of humanity against Noah is Tubal-cain (Ray Winstone), a descendent of Cain (who actually killed Noah's father, Lamech (Marton Csokas) and is now the king of the hoard). Again, this is not quite the tale that we learned in Sunday school (interestingly no one ever refers to "God" but they talk about "The Creator" a point we found interesting). Needless to say, the fact that it isn't quite what we recall is truthfully a tad off-putting (the Nephilim, or "Watchers") look like stone-age Transformers, and then there is the whole interpersonal drama between Noah and his middle son, Ham. Still, if you can get past the fact that while this basis of this story is something you know, the film itself is actually quite good, and needs to be experienced as its own thing. Still, after all of that the film — like scripture itself — never quite explains how either Adam and Eve, or Noah's decedents came to meet their eventual spouses and (re)populate the world. Ah well.

Reviews for Spinach Lasagna Roll-Ups
"Great recipe! However I did a few things to change it.First off, I made a little less of the cheese mixture, lower all the amounts including the egg except I higher-ed the amount of mozzarella in the mixture. I also cooked the spinach beforehand with garlic. I am a huge fan of garlic so I also added garlic to the mixture and omitted the nutmeg.Then when layering I actually put both the cheese mixture and sauce on each before rolling.I followed the directions regarding the sauce on the bottom then the rolled lasagna and then sauce again. However I added mozzarella cheese on top of the rolls. Came out wonderful."
"Unbelievable this spinach lasagna was great. Friends birthday was yesterday had a dinner at work for her i made the spinach rolls and everyone loved the dish. I will be making this dish again soon."
"amazing!!! easy, quick, and super fun to make. my entire dinner party was impressed."
"5-Stars, for sure!!! Making these for a family dinner of 20, so I doubled the recipe. Waaaay too much filling! But after everyone ate, it wasn't hard to send some home with my daughter! These are easy and tasty; have made the roll-up style before but couldn't find the recipe. I followed the recipe exactly (not sure the nutmeg belongs) and can't think how I would change it ... the next time!"
"This is a great receipe full of flavor. I did make a few changes (as I always do) I don't know why, maybe I'm a rebel but I just can't follow orders or directions for that matter without adding my own twist haha. With that said... What I did is omitted the nutmeg and added garlic and onion powder, basil leaves and a little bit of fennel seed oh and I didn't use a jar of spaghetti sauce, I used a little bit of leftover spaghetti sauce (I always make from scratch and freeze) and added a can of tomato sauce to that with some crushed fresh garlic and more basil and of course salt and pepper. Everything else I followed the receipe well the ingredients part and it turned out delicious! Definitely will be on our menu again!"

RS Freshman
Fresno State football redshirt freshman Davante Adams has been named the Sysco Student-Athlete of the Week.
Redshirt freshman Davante Adams had one of the best receiving games in school history last weekend in a 49-32 win at New Mexico. Adams caught nine passes for 198 yards and two touchdowns. His 198 yards was the 12th most in a game in Fresno State history. Adams has now caught a TD in four-straight games and his nine total TDs on the year are the most ever by a Bulldog freshman. He needs one more TD to become the seventh Bulldog to catch 10 or more touchdowns in a season. With 814 yards receiving, he is also closing in on what would be the 10th 1,000-yard receiving season in program history. No freshman ever at Fresno State has gone for over 1,000 yards receiving in a season.

Men's Basketball Adds Six To 2010 Class
May 6, 2010
CHICAGO- The UIC men's basketball program announced on Thursday, May 6 that the following six student-athletes will join the Flames beginning in 2010-11:
Paul Carter (6-8, Forward, Little Rock, Ark./Mills H.S./Minnesota)
Daniel Barnes (6-2, Guard, Oak Park, Ill./Oak Park-River Forest H.S./Kaskaskia College)
Paris Carter (6-7, Forward, Lansing, Ill./T.F. South H.S./Lake Land College)
Shawn King (6-4, Guard, Gilbert, Ariz./Gilbert H.S.)
Dorian Tyler (6-9, Center, Chicago, Ill./Marshall H.S./Morton College)
Darrin Williams (6-9, Center, Louisville, Ky./Eastern H.S./Wallace State CC)
"This class greatly enhances the program in the areas of depth, athleticism and toughness, particularly on the inside," said UIC head coach Jimmy Collins.
"This is a class that features a very high level of skill," said associate head coach and recruiting coordinator Tracy Dildy. "We have a great mix of guys with experience and success at the collegiate level, yet they are also young, talented players that are tough, physically strong and explosive athletically. Our depth improves significantly with this group.
"Most importantly, all of these guys come from winning programs," said Dildy. "Each one of these guys brings a winning mentality that will greatly enhance our program."
Paul Carter is a versatile 6-8, 203-pound forward who played a key role as the sixth man for Tubby Smith at Minnesota the past two seasons, helping the Golden Gophers reach a pair of NCAA Tournament berths by averaging 5.8 ppg and 4.0 rpg in 15.5 minutes in 63 games. He is transferring to UIC with one year of eligibility remaining for family reasons.
Watch Paul Carter highlights here.
"Paul can play the 1-4 positions and just knows how to win," said Dildy. "He had an outstanding junior college career before becoming a big part of Minnesota's resurgence under coach Smith and helping them go to the postseason twice. He brings experience and leadership."
Barnes is a 6-foot-2, 180-pound guard who played on the same high school team as current Georgia Tech standout Iman Shumpert. Barnes was a reserve as a freshman for Eastern Michigan before transferring to Kaskaskia in Centralia, Ill., where he averaged a team-high 14.9 ppg and 2.8 apg as a sophomore.
"Daniel wanted to prove that he could carry the scoring load for a team, and he went the junior college route and did just that," said Dildy. "He is quick, he's a lefty who can shoot, and he can see the entire court and create. He is hungry to prove he can succeed at the Division I level."
Paris Carter, a power forward, is 6-7 and 230 pounds and played prep ball at T.F. South. As a sophomore at Lake Land in Mattoon, Ill., he averaged 15.7 ppg and 7.6 rpg in 29 games.
"Paris is extremely athletic and explosive," said Dildy. "He was one of the top players in the state coming out of high school. He is all muscle and athleticism personified."
King, 6-4 and 200 pounds, is considered one of the top shooting guards in the state of Arizona after averaging 23.8 ppg and 7.2 rebounds while shooting 52.0 percent from the field as a senior at Gilbert. He was named the 5A-1 Central Region Player of the Year.
"Shawn is a big guard who can do it all," said assistant coach Bryant Lowe. "He can score, he can rebound and he can pass. His size, athleticism and scoring ability at three positions will be a major asset in the Horizon League."
The 6-9, 230-pound Tyler was a cog in Marshall High School's 2007-08 Class 3A state championship team. The center moved on to play two seasons at Morton College in Cicero, Ill., garnering 2009-10 Illinois Skyway Collegiate Conference Player of the Year honors after leading Morton in both scoring (16.1 ppg) and rebounding (9.7 rpg).
"Dorian is a beast on the blocks and can score at will," said Dildy. "He is a high-low player who can post up and face up, and his range even extends past the three-point arc. Dorian comes from winning programs and provides a boost to our frontcourt from the first day he steps on the floor."
Williams is a 6-9, 270-pound center who just finished an abbreviated season due to transfer rules at Wallace State Community College in Hanceville, Ala., where he averaged 6.0 ppg, 3.8 rpg and 1.0 bpg while shooting 58 percent for the No. 5 team in the NJCAA. He started his college career at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where averaged 6.8 ppg and 3.6 rpg in 16.9 mpg off the bench to earn Sunshine State Conference All-Freshman accolades in 2008-09.
"Darrin has great post moves," said Dildy. "He has a high skill level in the post and has a really high skill level as a basketball player in general, especially for a man his size.
"We wanted to bring in the right mix of players who can help us immediately while simultaneously laying a foundation for the future," said Dildy. "Our philosophy was to bring in players from the area, particularly from the Chicago Public League, while also getting athletes with size, versatility and a winning background. These young men fit that bill."
"I want to compliment Tracy for his outstanding work in identifying and bringing in a crop of tough, skilled young men to this program," said Collins. "I must also commend Bryant for doing a great job in finding Shawn and recruiting him to attend UIC. The entire staff worked extremely hard to secure this class, which is a class that I truly believe will make an immediate impact and shore up numerous areas of need heading into next season."

Stanford recorded the highest team score on five-of-six events and saw six different Cardinal gymnasts earn individual first-place finishes.
Despite the victory and spread of individual honors, the Cardinal had difficulty getting going early. Head coach Thom Glielmi felt the team started slow and expects his team to perform better mentally in future meets.
"We definitely started slow," Glielmi said. "Being the first meet, that's understandable to some extent but we really have to work on our mental approach a bit more."
The Cardinal began its season on pommel horse and was led by All-Americans junior Chris Turner and senior John Martin with scores of 14.400. Energized by the second of the back-to-back meet high routines, the entire Cardinal team left its bench to congratulate Martin after his performance.
The Cardinal had difficulty on floor with just two athletes hitting their routines. Stanford was led by 2012 NCAA floor champion and Eddie Penev who anchored the Cardinal with a meet high score of 15.650. It was just what Stanford needed to get the momentum moving in its favor heading to vault.
Stanford began to find its rhythm with a series of consistent vault performances capped by All-American Sean Senters' team high vault of 15.050. Freshman Kevin Baker, making his collegiate debut at the meet, also delivered on vault, sticking his landing clean and recording a score of 14.600.
On rings, Senior James Fosco led the way with a delivering an impressive performance in which he was in complete control throughout the duration of the routine and scored a meet high 15.300. Senior Jordan Nolff finished second and was the only other gymnast in the meet to record at least a 15.000.
Baker continued to impress on vault, delivering a solid performance and scoring 14.200.
Stanford started strong on high bar with a clean routine from sophomore Brian Knott scoring a meet high 14.450. Senior Paul Hichwa finished second with strong performance recording a 14.300. Knott and Hichwa were the only gymnasts to score above 14.000 in the meet.
The Cardinal finished on a high note, recording three consecutive scores of 14.700 on parallel bars by Knott, Penev and Cameron Foreman.
Glielmi was happy with how his team overcame the slow start and finished the meet on a strong note.
"Finishing up on [parallel bars] with four solid sets from Foreman, Penev, Knott and Turner was one of today's highlights," Glielmi said. "The last event can be a bit of a lull but they brought the focus up and did a nice job."
Penev and Senters finished first and second in the all-around with scores of 85.200 and 80.200, respectively.
The Cardinal returns to The Farm next week for its first home meet of the season, hosting No. 6 California, No. 9 Nebraska and No. 3 Oklahoma.
