America's Favorite Vice
The Ex-Druggie Is Now a Devoted Dad, but There's Still An Irresistible Aura of Danger About Miami Vice's Don Johnson
When Philip Michael Thomas, 36, who plays detective Ricardo Tubbs, waves at the fans, there are shrieks. But the real object of their craning and contortions remains elusive. He is Don Johnson, 35, the show's paragon of sexy, sockless, unshaven charm as detective Sonny Crockett. With his Versace jackets, linen pants and pastel T-shirts, Johnson has become the dishiest clotheshorse since Travolta inspired even the paunchiest of would-be male peacocks to squeeze into white disco suits. And Johnson may have the edge on Travolta as an object of erotic fantasy. Recently Cybill Shepherd, who co-stars with Johnson on next week's NBC movie The Long Hot Summer, excitedly crossed her legs at the mention of his name. "Look at me," said Shepherd, swinging her top leg. "Body language, it's a dead giveaway."
The crowd agrees. Johnson's audience knows him well, down to his height (5'11"), weight (170) and notorious reputation. There's Don the loser (some half dozen flop flicks, at least four fizzled TV pilots); Don the lady-killer (three marriages, countless entanglements); Don the alcoholic and drug addict. This is old news, of course. Miami Wee and the rehabilitation of his four-year relationship with actress Patti D'Arbanville (mother of son Jesse, 2) have transformed Johnson into a prosperous, vitamin-enriched version of his former self. But the bad raps haven't stopped; they've merely been replaced with new ones. Now it's Don the egomaniac, a star said to be so flushed with success that he's high-handed with the press, fans and co-workers, determined to overshadow co-star Thomas, and given to throwing tantrums on the set when he doesn't get his way.
In the art gallery the atmosphere is noticeably tense. The tiny room, crammed with cables, lights and technicians, is stifling (they turn off the noisy air-conditioning every time the cameras roll). Johnson abrutly breaks off a scene he's doing with Thomas and guest star John (After Hours) Heard. "This just isn't playing," he snaps at Wee writer Craig Bolotin, who is making his debut as a director with this episode. "It isn't fast enough," says Johnson, rolling his eyes in exasperation. "Do it this way." They do. It's better. Is Mr. Miami Vice really not so nice? "Sure, Don has a serious ego," Thomas has said. "It sometimes causes bad vibes. But there is a lot of joy here." A drive to make the show better, Thomas says, is a quality he and Johnson share. "I told Don we were going to have to direct this one ourselves," says Thomas. "It's not a matter of conceit. We have the responsibility of making him [Bolotin] look good so he won't make us look bad."
Thomas flatly rejects the feud rumors. Of the Emmy nomination Don won and he didn't, Thomas says, "I'm so proud for him. I know how much a part of that I am." Still, Thomas—a divorced father—concedes that he and Johnson aren't as social this season as they were in the first. "We used to jog together and lift weights, but there isn't time now. We work 12 to 18 hours a day, five days a week, so when we do go home, we sleep."
But if Thomas and Johnson share work methods, their styles sharply diverge when the cameras stop rolling. When lunch break is called, Thomas—with bodyguard brother George at his side—ingratiates himself like a born romancer into the crowd of fans wilting in the hazy, 86°F sun.
Johnson's approach is, uh, different. Puffing on a Merit (he smokes about a pack and a half a day) and tense from a hard morning, he rushes out the door with Ron Russell, his 6'1", 240-pound bodyguard, in tow. "He's too busy," says Russell, gently sidetracking fans who get uncomfortably close. Johnson dashes for his 40-foot motor home—complete with kitchen, wall-to-wall bed, mirrored bathroom and VCR—parked on the street.
Like his new 500 SEL Mercedes, the trailer is silver gray. "The only color," says Don as he settles onto a gray couch and peers through the blinds at the crowd gathered outside. He starts by admitting, "I'm different than I used to be. You know that Cyndi Lauper song, Money Changes Everything?' It's true." NBC recently raised Johnson's weekly paycheck to about $30,000 (with his various other projects, Don will bag close to $1 million this year). But Johnson denies his head has swelled along with his wallet. "Sometimes I'm just awful on the show," he says. "It's very difficult to keep it fresh and new." To maintain his drive, Don takes "a hands-on attitude toward everything. I try to be diplomatic, but I know that I'm very demanding to work with." Says Vice producer John Nicolella: "If Don calls someone a boob-head, certainly I know where it's going and why. He doesn't want to accept mediocrity."
At first Johnson bristles about his press image as an egomaniac. "I'd rather be at home wrestling with my son than worrying about some bullshit they say about me." Later he admits, "It kind of hurts my feelings," especially digging up sins of the past. "How much are you going to use of that?" he challenges. The lies in the tabloids enrage him the most. "I'm amazed they can get away with that trash." A visitor jokes that one day he might even see an article headlined: Don Johnson Has Sex With Chickens. Don laughs loudly. "How'd they find out?" The laughter relieves the tension. "I'm having fun with my life," Don insists. "Hell, that's what it's all about."
Not always. The chasing mobs he attracts have cut into his time and freedom. "People basically want contact," says Johnson, who confesses that big crowds worry him. He has devised a method to deal with autograph seekers. "The kids I can never deny," he says, "but I give these to grown-ups." Johnson hands over a white business card on which the following words are printed in blue: Sorry you caught me at an inconvenient moment. Thank you for appreciating my work. If you would like an autographed picture, please write to: Don Johnson Fan Club, 2895 Biscayne Blvd., Suite 395, Miami, Florida 33137/Signed/Don Johnson. "Isn't that clever?" he asks.
Dressed in beige suit and shirt and wearing no tie or socks (the man knows how to work a trademark when he creates one), Johnson arrives a mere three minutes late for dinner at Tulipano, his favorite local Italian restaurant. Released from the day's labors, he looks tan, rested. But up close the poster-boy face is weathered. "A lot of my friends are getting tucks and pinches and pulls," says Don. "I can't imagine that. I have lived my whole life waiting for character lines." Don's mood is expansive. He laughs at his Italian Vogue-ish trendy style of dress. "Here's the only look I ever liked and felt individual in, and now every guy, his brother and his dog are wearing it." Don even gives up his secret for maintaining a perpetual two-day stubble: "I shave with a sideburn trimmer."
Over a mozzarella and tomato salad and a bottle of San Pellegrino water("l never drink alcohol anymore"), he talks of filming The Long Hot Summer last spring in Louisiana with Cybill Shepherd, another reported handful on the set. "Cybill, Cybill, Cybill," he says, "she's the greatest. I could have a serious affair with Cybill. Most people don't get along with her. Not me. I would say, 'Knock that shit off.' I'd love to work with her as a director." Doing a Faulkner piece like Summer was a "stretch," for Johnson, and he'd like more. Believe it or not, he's just finished reading Richard Ill again. "I want to go back to the theater someday," he says. "Roots, babe, you've gotta stay on top of things."
For the moment, Johnson admits, his Miami Vice role is a long way from Shakespeare. "It's a real problem. I never wanted to be the sex god idol of the universe." Sometimes, Don adds, his fame embarrasses him, as at a recent charity auction that brought in $5,000 for one of his T-shirts (he'd used it to wipe his sweaty brow during the auction). But his popularity also has a plus side. Johnson earned high marks for an Emmy-nominated antidrug TV announcement, making up for the "land speed record" he previously set in booze and cocaine. "You use drugs," the message says in part. "I've been where you are."
Johnson had a troubled boyhood in Missouri (his birthplace) and later in Wichita, Kans. after his parents' divorce. The oldest child of a rancher and a housewife (he has two brothers, a sister and a stepsister), Don's exploits could make a new TV series: A car theft at 12, leaving home at 15 and later moving in with an older woman and her kids, a promising acting career in theater, TV and movies continually sidetracked by drugs and a lack of direction. "I was about as wild as they come," he admits.
Johnson says he sensed the role in Vice might be his last chance. "I fought, calculated and manipulated to get it," he says. The network knew his past history and resisted. But Don had reformed with the help of Patti, now 34, a two-time divorcee who also licked a drug and alcohol problem with the help of AA. "Patti is the dearest, most thoughtful person in the world," he says. "That's why I love her so much."
The White House, of all places, is the subject as assistant Lori Byers drives her boss home around midnight to his rented ($2,000 a month), high-security, three-bedroom condo. Don, Patti and Jesse were guests three weeks ago at a formal morning reception. Later Don and Patti attended a state dinner for the prime minister of Denmark. But there was another motive behind the Reagans' invitation. Nancy Reagan wanted to enlist Don for her national antidrug campaign (they're still discussing the form it will take). "We were treated like royalty," Don says proudly. "The President kept smiling and winking at Jesse [who'll be 3 on December 7]. Right at the place they do the security check, Jesse kept looking at the Secret Service guys. When he saw one of their guns, he turned around and said loudly, 'Daddy, did you bring your gun?' I said, 'Shuuush, shuuush.' The Secret Service guys were getting nervous, but the President and First Lady fell in love with him. Jesse had a ball."
So did Don and Patti. "I mean, let's face it," says Don. "There we were, all three of us, holding hands and playing one-two-three jump in the halls of the White House." He recalls, "President Reagan asked me to autograph the Miami Wee TIME cover." (The press spoiled the event a bit, implying that Johnson showed disrespect by not wearing socks to the reception. But Patti says he did wear a pair to dinner: "black Christian Diors.") Patti's most emotional memory of the visit was the after-dinner dancing. "Donny (as she calls him) and I looked around and into each other's eyes and said, 'I love you.' We had come so far."
Back in his condo, Johnson—for the moment—has only memories of Patti and Jesse. They are back in the three-bedroom, Studio City home they bought last March. (Patti videotaped each house she looked at and sent the tapes to Miami for Don's approval.) She must be near L.A. to work out her own career. "Patti is probably going to do a series, which should pretty much wrap up our relationship," says Don with a wry laugh. He knows that rumors persist they are splitting. "Ridiculous," says Don. Patti sees their living 2,339 miles apart as "an investment in the time where the dividends are enormous." She allows it's hard to explain to people accustomed to "conventional relationships." As for groupies, she's not jealous. "Don loves me and wouldn't do anything to jeopardize that."
Still, their long-distance love affair (nobody's talking marriage) creates a strain. Don's schedule permits him to spend only a few days at a time in L.A. "I miss Jesse so much," he says. "Jesse just spent two months with me this summer. He and his nanny came. Of course, the separation damned near killed Patti." The pace he keeps doubles the stress. Between rehearsals, filming and promotional and charity appearances, Johnson is planning an LP (singing and songwriting are early loves) that will grow into a long-form video and then an NBC special. "Just a little side thing I thought I'd throw together," he says with a laugh.
But there are nights like this when his schedule catches up with him and Johnson begins to measure things lost. "There's a lot more to me than a guy in a $3 T-shirt and Versace jacket," he says, "though that part is very difficult to nurture these days. I like who I am. I miss myself." Lately he's found a new method for cadging a bit of peace: a customized, $125,000, twin 400-horsepower Scarab motorboat named My Vice, now docked next to his condo. "It can go about 80 miles per, maybe faster," says Johnson. When things get too much, "I jump in, crank up the motor and scream out across the ocean. No phones. No obligations. It's like...freedom." Would he like to run away for good? "Naaah," says Johnson, who knows all too well by now that his overriding ambition would in no time send him, speeding, back to shore.

Wendy Davis Releases New Ad: "A Texas Story"
State Sen. Wendy Davis, the newly minted Democratic candidate for governor, has released her first web ad. The four-and-a-half-minute spot, titled "A Texas Story," is heavy on biography. It features her daughter, Amber, speaking of Davis' rise from humble beginnings as the child of a single mom to her graduation from Harvard Law School and a life in elected office.
"You know they say everything's bigger in Texas? Well, that certainly wasn't the case for the trailer we lived in," Amber says in the ad.
The video shows a variety of iconic Texas images, from downtown skylines to cotton ...

When I was young and my family would get together at my grandparent's house the adults would stay upstairs and talk while the kids went downstairs to play. Every person knew their role and played their part, all except my Grandma Hall. As soon as we arrived Grandma said her hellos to all the adults and then followed us kids downstairs.
It was part of the magic of Grandma Hall's house. She always had a new activity or game for us to play and on the few times when there was no activity or game she was completely content simply to watch us play together. My brothers and sisters, my cousins and friends accepted Grandma Hall as one of our own.
One of our favorite of Grandma's games was one she called, "Why is it like me?" The game began by selecting one person to leave the room. Then, the remaining children would pick an object in the room that in some way or another reminded us of the person who had left. Once we had picked our object the person would come back in and begin searching for clues.
In their quest to find the object the rest of us had picked, they would go around to different people who had remained in the room and ask them, "Why is it like me?" As a person who knew what the object was you then had to find a way to describe the object while accentuating the positive.
For example, if the object that was picked was a light fixture and the person came to you and asked, "Why is it like me?" You would respond, "Because you are both so bright" or "You are useful." If the object was the television, maybe the description would be, "You are entertaining." Perhaps the object was a picture on the wall. The clue would become, "Because you are beautiful." This was the essence of the game. You would try to say as many things as possible about that person without giving them enough clues to guess the selected object.
As the game went on, creating the clues became more difficult. Not only did you have to find a new way to describe the object but the description had to accent something special about the person.
We enjoyed describing others' positive attributes but the real fun came as we were sent out of the room in order to return to hear clues about ourselves. We loved the affirmation that came when we learned why the selected object was "like me."
Although at the time we believed the game was about guessing the object, I understand today that it was about taking an opportunity to complement each other. I can truly say it is one of the only games in my life I've seen where everyone wins.
This Christmas, take the opportunity to think of positive personality traits of those around you. Then take it a step further and actually tell others why those attributes are "like them." Lets see we can't find ways this week and through the new year to tell others why they're bright or useful, beautiful or entertaining.
Our world is full of amazing inventions, beautiful pieces of art and innovative architecture. But, the most remarkable creations you'll ever see are the people who are already a part of your life.
Let's play "Why Is It Like Me?" This holiday season, choose an item in your space. Think of someone important in your life and tell me by leaving a comment (and then consider telling that person) why that object particular is like them. See if the same little moment of magic happens as it did in the basement of Grandma Hall's house when we shared positive attributes with each other.
Enjoy exploring the ordinary objects and extraordinary people around you. Merry Christmas,
I'll be back on the web Monday the 29th.

There is a gleeful pride in Scotland when one of our players or managers makes a great impact south of the border. It was pleasant to witness a Caledonian handover when David Moyes became the successor to Sir Alex Ferguson. His appointment to the Manchester United post felt entirely apt then, but that was before the crude matter of defending the Barclays Premier League title and pursuing other trophies had to be addressed.
That is proving to be quite a challenge for Moyes, particularly in a week when the semi-final of the Capital One Cup saw United beaten at Old

By Dave Sigworth, publicist of The Maritime Aquarium
Some good news from down on Coney Island was announced this week, when the Wildlife Conservation Society put out the word that the New York Aquarium will partially reopen this spring.
Like most everything down that way, the Aquarium was devastated by Hurricane Sandy on the night of Oct. 29.
As the WCS said in its statement: "Surge waters from the Atlantic Ocean came over and under the Coney Island Boardwalk, completely or partially flooding all buildings at the 14-acre park. The ocean flood waters destroyed or significantly damaged the facility's heating, air conditioning, and electrical power and distribution equipment and aquatic life support systems. Flooding damaged the interiors of most exhibit buildings. Losses in the collection were minimal and limited to fish and invertebrates housed in a few tanks. The damage was significant to the infrastructure and the facility has been closed since the night of the storm."
Estimates put damage to the aquarium at $65 million. Mayor Michael Bloomberg has proposed funds in the city's capital-improvements budget to repair it. And the WCS has been seeking private donations to help get the aquarium up and running.
Segments that will reopen late this spring – no specific date given – include: the outdoor Sea Cliffs with sea lions, seals, otters, penguins and walrus; the main hall exhibits; and the sea lion demonstration "Aquatheater."
This isn't the first time in recent years that a hurricane has taken out a public aquarium. In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina swamped the Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans (it was closed for nine months) and also washed away the Marine Life Oceanarium in Gulfport, Miss. (It never reopened. Here's a great story about how eight dolphins that were swept out to sea from the Oceanarium stayed together off shore, and were visited and fed several times a day by trainers who boated out to them and eventually rescued them: http://goo.gl/Bxz75 )
The Maritime Aquarium's brush with Sandy was nothing like the New York Aquarium's. Power was lost briefly, but our two big emergency generators took over. Water did surge up the Norwalk River outside onto our back courtyard, and rose up to – but not over – the top step of our loading dock. Several heroic members of the animal husbandry and maintenance departments spent two nights here, to care for the animals and handle any issues that came up.
We're thankful to have made it through Sandy unscathed and celebrate the New York Aquarium's coming return.

House Of Dreams Benefit Pics And Stuff
by IsaChandra
Thanks to everyone who came out for the House Of Dreams benefit dinner Friday night! It went so well that we are going to make it a regular thing. We'll pick a different local animal organization each time. As Michelle and I were shopping for the tchotchkes for the tables we thought that that might be a good way to decide which cause to support. If we're going by animal figurines then pigs and bunnies are the front runners.
We'll be putting up a new site soon, specifically for the benefit dinners, but it won't stop there – we'll also give you all the info you need to set up dinners like these in your community. Because we're all knowledge spready like that.
Vegan Addict posted a review of sorts of the whole thing, so check that out, too!

Why We Knit
Dear Ann, I finished my second Riddari Icelandic pullover the other day. Today the Riddari girls got together, and I took some iPhone pictures in bad winter 6 p.m. light. Maggie and Carrie. When you're 16, getting matching, classic handknit sweaters is pretty exciting stuff. Yes it is. Honest! It so is! I promise you that I am going to make these girls braid their hair into odd shapes, put on sparkly makeup and run around in the woods...Read More

The Dialogic Imagination: Four Essaysby Caryl Emerson Mikhail M. Bakhtin Michael Holquist
These essays reveal Mikhail Bakhtin (1895-1975), known in the West largely through his studies of Rabelais and Dostoevsky as a philosopher of language, a cultural historian, and a major theoretician of the novel. The Dialogic Imagination presents, in superb English translation, four selections from Voprosy literatury i estetiki (Problems of literature and esthetics), published in Moscow in 1975. The volume also contains a lengthy introduction to Bakhtin and his thought and a glossary of terminology. Bakhtin uses the category "novel" in a highly idiosyncratic way, claiming for it vastly larger territory than has been traditionally accepted. For him, the novel is not so much a genre as it is a force, "novelness," which he discusses in "From the Prehistory of Novelistic Discourse. " Two essays, "Epic and Novel" and "Forms of Time and of the Chronotope in the Novel," deal with literary history in Bakhtin's own unorthodox way. In the final essay, he discusses literature and language in general, which he sees as stratified, constantly changing systems of subgenres, dialects, and fragmented "languages" in battle with one another.
The Letter Killers Clubby Caryl Emerson Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky
The Letter Killers Club is a secret society of self-described "conceivers" who, to preserve the purity of their conceptions, will commit nothing to paper. (What, after all, is your run-of-the-mill scribbler of stories if not an accomplished corruptor of conceptions?) The logic of the club is strict and uncompromising. Every Saturday, members meet in a firelit room filled with empty black bookshelves where they strive to top one another by developing ever unlikelier, ever more perfect conceptions: a rehearsal of Hamlet hijacked by an actor who vanishes with the role; the double life of a merry medieval cleric derailed by a costume change; a machine-run world that imprisons men's minds while conscripting their bodies; a dead Roman scribe stranded this side of the River Acheron. But in this book set in an ominous Soviet Moscow of the 1920s, the members of the club are strangely mistrustful of one another, while all are under the spell of its despotic President, and there is no telling, in the end, just how lethal the purely conceptual--or, for that matter, letters--may be.
Problems of Dostoevsky's Poeticsby Caryl Emerson Mikhail Bakhtin
This book is not only a major twentieth-century contribution to Dostoevsky's studies, but also one of the most important theories of the novel produced in our century. As a modern reinterpretation of poetics, it bears comparison with Aristotle.

The longer I go without posting, the more I want to be able to offer either a really good excuse or a really brilliant post to make up for it. Well, I don't have an excuse (other than the existence of February) and I don't have anything brilliant, so instead I'm just going to let you know what I have been thinking about the past couple of weeks and try to get back on track.
If you don't work in a library, you may not follow ebook news as rabidly as I do. It's no secret that I am not the world's biggest ebook fan, but they aren't going away, and libraries are kind of stuck with whatever scraps get thrown our way as publishers desperately try to figure out how to handle this new medium (and how to keep Amazon from taking over the entire world while they're at it). A couple of weeks ago Random House, the only publisher of the Big Six that was really playing nicely with libraries, announced an ebook price hike of about 300% to libraries. That ebook that costs you $15? Libraries are paying $40 or more for it now. For the exact same book. (We can still buy the print copy for the same price – actually, we tend to get a discount on print books, since we buy so many.)
Normally I encourage people to go to their libraries for books. I know I'd never be able to read as much as I do if I had to rely on books I could buy or get publishers to send me. But ebooks? You can't get any new Penguin titles from your library, although they might have some older ones. HarperCollins books only circulate 26 times before the library has to buy a new copy. (For what it's worth, our storage copy of Wicked, a HarperCollins book, has been out that many times and still sits happily on our shelf.) Your library probably can't afford to buy too many Random House books any more; maybe the top five or ten or twenty bestsellers, depending on their yearly budget. And the other Big Six publishers? Well, they won't sell ebooks to libraries at all.
Libraries have been trying to negotiate with publishers. Publishers just aren't having it. I'm getting sick of it – and I'm not the only one. There's been some discussion among the library blogosphere lately about libraries just dropping ebooks until there's a more viable system. I'm not in a position to make that kind of decision for my library (lucky me), but I don't think I'd argue against it. I can, however, use my little corner of the interwebs to increase awareness of the issue. Look for some changes in the footers to my reviews in the future.
I have finally – finally! – decided to stop checking out new books from the library so that I can get some work done on that giant to-read pile of mine. You know, the one I wrote the challenge for? Or rather, I've finally managed to stick to my resolution. So right now I'm working my way through the books I have checked out right now, discarding them at an alarming rate (I've never given up on mediocre books so quickly) and devouring the good ones. I'm developing a small fixation on Russian sf thanks to watching both Night Watch and Day Watch in the past couple of weeks and now reading The Scar by Sergey and Marina Dyachenko. When I finally free myself from my to-read pile of doom, I shall definitely be ordering more of this.
And the to-read pile itself? It's metastasizing all over the living room in exactly the way I was hoping to prevent. I got a preview copy of Chrysanthe from Tor, and my new roommate (also a book blogger) got a copy of Range of Ghosts, so those are at the top, closely followed by the armload of pirate books I got from Frugal Muse. On the other hand, at least I've used up all my book store gift certificates for now?
I am so far behind I can't even see caught up at this point. So rather than drive myself crazy with my backlog, I'm going to stop trying to post a review for every single book I read and focus on writing good reviews for the ones I have something to say about. This means that the recap is pretty much going away (possibly to be supplanted by an In My Mailbox to keep up with the ever-growing throng). If you're really curious about what I'm reading from one moment to the next, you can always follow me on Goodreads for instant gratification. (I like Goodreads friends!) Hopefully this will mean better reviews on a more regular schedule, which are more fun for me to write and more fun for you to read.
You'll see some design changes in the near future, too (including the dropping of those unbelievably pointless Google ads). I don't want to over-commit, though, so no deadlines, just a promise: I aten't dead, and things will be happening soon.

4 thoughts on "Return of the Book Blogger"
EBooks are definitely a sticky topic right now. I'm grateful that the academic publishers are reacting slightly better than the popular publishers, though they still don't make it the easiest thing in the world, and I'm afraid they will take cues from other publishers, there being a precedent now and everything. Yours is one of the better overall summaries I've read of the issue – concise and easy to understand.
I envy the fact that you have decided not to review each and every book that you read. I too have a lot many to review and don't know how to go about it. I feel kind of guilty if I don't review a book – as if I have left a work undone.

Singer Ne-Yo (inset), 28, sued the promoter of fellow R&B crooner R. Kelly's recent concert tour in L.A. Dec. 31, claiming that he was unjustly dismissed as an opening act in November for outshining Kelly. A rep for Kelly, 41, said, "The idea that R.

Kelly knows he is confident enough in his own abilities to be happy to share the stage with enormously talented people-the more talented, the better." ... New York Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens, 45, sued his former trainer Brian McNamee, 40, who claimed during a federal investigation to have injected the baseball player with performance-enhancing drugs several times between 1998 and 2001.

Although he lost some sense of taste during treatment, that all-too-important faculty has been restored.

Kingston microSD fakes prompt "ghost shift" investigation
Who would've thought memory cards could be so full of intrigue. Andrew "bunnie" Huang - whose name you might remember from inside the chumby One - was prompted to investigate an apparent bad batch of Kingston microSD cards when the touchscreen widget device (which stores its OS on a microSD) started acting up. He went on to discover that his dodgy batch was in fact the tip of a fake card iceberg, which seems to suggest Kingston's suppliers have been producing so-called "ghost shift" fakes during factory downtime, with Kingston's brand but serious quality shortcomings.

Electronic System-Level (ESL) Design
Keysight provides the most accurate communications system design tools which accelerate PHY development and verification time by reducing cross domain iterations. With Keysight, you'll be able bring real-world effects higher in the design validation process.
ESL Design Challenges
- Analog/RF and baseband/DSP/embedded teams often work in relative isolation in the design or HW validation phases, increasing the risk of time consuming and expensive iterations.
- Traditional single domain "point tools" have poor to no interaction with the real world and rely on mathematical models to capture real-world effects.
- Validating hardware after systems achieve hardware integration may mask critical design flaws and require complicated physical test benches for verification of final designs.

DBS Group to Expand Private Banking in China, Middle East
DBS Group Holdings Ltd. will invest S$250 million ($198 million) to expand private banking over five years, including hiring in China and setting up an international desk focusing on the Middle East and emerging markets.
The bank, Southeast Asia's largest, started a service targeting individuals with more than S$1.5 million of investable assets, it said in Singapore today. That is an extension of its private banking operation, which caters to customers with more than S$5 million each.
Singapore's importance as a wealth management center has been rising as Europe struggles with the sovereign debt crisis and the U.S. economic recovery weakens. Asia hasn't been immune to Europe's woes, with stocks in the region declining today after Italy's credit rating was lowered at Standard & Poor's.
"Notwithstanding the present market volatilities, Asia is experiencing rapid wealth creation and we remain optimistic about the long-term prospects of the region," DBS Chief Executive Officer Piyush Gupta said in a statement.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index dropped 0.8 percent as of 4:37 p.m. in Tokyo, extending a two-week decline.
Singapore is the fifth-largest offshore private banking center, with $512 billion in assets at the end of 2010, according to the Boston Consulting Group, which counted those with over $1 million in investable assets. Switzerland, the largest, had about $1.7 trillion.
Asia-Pacific millionaires outnumbered those in Europe for the first time in 2010, according to a survey by Capgemini SA and Bank of America Corp. DBS said it will set up its international desk by the end of the year, it said today.
"Over the next five, 10 years, the growth in high net worth will be structurally a much stronger story in Asia compared to other parts of the world," Amar Gill, head of special projects research at CLSA Ltd., said today at a conference in Hong Kong.

GQ tells where to find the best cocktails
NEW YORK - Whether you're summering in New England or on a business trip to Louisville, sometimes you feel like having a cocktail. GQ's August issue tells you where to find the best drinks in America, and the results might surprise you, from margaritas in Maine to Manhattans in Kentucky.
The magazine says the Louisville restaurant called 610 Magnolia is the best place to get a Manhattan, while fine margaritas reside at El Camino in Brunswick, Maine. Less surprising perhaps is the award for best mai tai going to House Without a Key, a bar at the Halekulani hotel in Waikiki, Hawaii.,
Region celebrates its bridge's 70th birthday
COLLINS LANDING, N.Y. - The Thousand Islands International Bridge is marking 70 years since its opening with a celebration planned for Aug. 16.
More than 85 million vehicles are estimated to have passed over the bridge system since President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King cut the ribbon on Aug. 18, 1938, before a crowd of 25,000 people.
The bridge was built in 16 months and cost $3 million. Car rates have only doubled since the opening fee of $1.25 each way.

Hotel's pricing policy helps weak dollar
NEW YORK - Here's a bright spot in the sad traveler's tale of the ever-weak dollar. One hotel company in Europe is accepting dollars in a one-to-one exchange with euros, when a euro is actually worth well over $1.50.
The "Stay in Europe, Pay in Dollars" promotion from WorldHotels includes 41 hotels in Germany, Italy, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Poland, Luxembourg, Austria, Spain and the Czech Republic, according to Patti Winger, a publicist for the hotel company.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some feedback on a model I'm building to explain the complexity of experience design. My theory is that in the communication business, we're all experience designers and that we come at that from different disciplines. To build the best experiences, we have to have time and space for collaboration. Nothing groundbreaking, but I'd like to bring some different teams together around a common goal.
I've got some feedback from people outside the field, but I'd really like to know what you think. The diagram and comments I've recieved so far are here:
Thanks in advance!

* 12 Team Keeper League - Up to 8 keepers, each taking the place of your initial round picks. Keep 8 players, you start drafting in Round 9.
* Start QB, 3xWR, 2xRB, TE, WR/TE Flex, WR/RB Flex, K, DEF
I'm keeping:
* QB: Matt Ryan
* RB: McCoy, Mendenhall
* WR: Roddy White, Wes Welker, Dwayne Bowe
KUBIAK has Colston pretty high by my league's scoring, ahead of Welker and Bowe. The only better ranked WR draft option would be Steve Johnson if he lasts until Round 7.
Worth keeping Colston despite the injury risk?
2 replies , Last at 18 Aug 2011, 5:13pm by widderslainte
So keep Colston and draft in round 9 or drop him and pick in round 8, with Colston and Johnson as the best to available WRs? I'd say keep him under those terms.
Basically. I'd drop him and get my first pick in Round 7 or keep and my first pick would be in Round 8.
It's a heavy WR league. I traded him to get to early round 6, and swap spots elsewhere. I need some keepers for the future.

Type 1 Gold Dollars
The California Gold Rush brought changes to the American coinage system. Originally three gold denominations had been authorized comprising the quarter eagle ($2.50), half eagle ($5), and eagle ($10). To deal with the large influx of gold, new denominations were created. These were the gold dollar and the double eagle ($20), expanding the range or denominations at both the upper and lower thresholds.

Bartender Jason McGrady of Seattle's Sazerac Restaurant, inside the Hotel Monaco, was so inspired by the series, he mixed up a handful of specialty drinks inspired by Stephanie Meyer's series.
And there's a local connection.
McGrady's restaurant is located in the closest major city to Forks, Wash., where the Twilight series is set, and fans pass through Seattle when they come to take Twilight-themed tours in Forks, he says.
"One of the most important parts of my job as a bartender is keeping up with what's current and what's hot," McGrady tells PEOPLE. "And in this part of the world, Twilight is definitely hot."
The bespoke cocktails range from the vodka-based "New Moon" to the gin and lemon-infused "Edward" cocktail, created by bartender Kelly McGilvray, which is pale and sparkly like the skin of the character played by Robert Pattinson.
Says McGrady: "As a longtime bartender I know it's really about taste. If they didn't taste good no one would order seconds. So after careful research – and tastings – I came up with a few I think might hit the mark for the most avid Twilight fans.
Interested in tippling some of McGrady's Twilight-themed drinks? Find the recipes below:
New Moon(pictured above) 1 oz. vodka
1 oz. triple sec
1 oz. creme de violette
Stir contents in a shaker and serve up in a martini glass. Garnish with a piece of citrus cut out with a star-shaped cookie cutter.

STATE COLLEGE - Nyeem Wartman went from playmaker in Penn State's opener last season to the scout team by November.
The linebacker hurt his knee in his second career game and did not return to the playing field. Though Wartman's health improved toward the end of the season, he remained on the sideline and was granted a medical redshirt.
There were obvious cons for Wartman in 2012, but the Philadelphia native's patience paid off. He will be a starter at "Linebacker U" this season, and very well could maintain that spot for the next 4 years.

For this contest I got a lot of "iphone", "iphones", "epiphany" and "epiphanies" but the correct one was happiness.
I'm preparing for a new contest to run, hopefully, on January so stay tuned.
Zookoda is dead long live FeedBurner !
Ok I saw it happening but I just ignored it, Zookoda is dead it is official !
Zookoda is the service I've been using here at adidap to deliver the newsletter by emails ever since August 2006, and now I am compelled to move to another provider.
Since FeedBurner was recently bought by Google, I am already using it for RSS, and it is free, I have decided to move adidap mailing list there.
Feedburner problem is that they do not allow me to import the current 450 subscribers list (what a shame) so I just have to build that list over again.
Want to be featured on ADIDAP 2009 calendar ?
Yes it is 2009 I'm not mistaken !!!
The Idea
Here is what I am thinking of, I am posting every Sunday an Adidap Flickr Round so why not preparing an ADIDAP calendar for 2009 with the best pictures posted on Adidap Flickr Group ?
How it will happen
Calling for advice: 80 Pictures for €400
I wont be long here but I really need your thoughts on that…
A few month ago my wife and I went in a photography trip to Plitvice lakes in Croatia, during the trip I had a corruption in my Lexar 1gb and lost about 80 pictures !
I tried a lot of recovery softwares but none were able to do anything, I sent the card to a friend in France and he gave it to a specialized company for review. To make a long story short they contacted him saying that can give the recovery a try but, IF they succeed, it can cost me up to €400.

Friends share frustration of garbage collection
My friend Gene and I share a lot of things.
We both like golf, and we buy memberships each year to a local course where we play in a Wednesday night league.
We both like old things and hunting them down at garage sales, auctions and the like.
We both like bargains. See above.
And each winter, we both share the frustration of having spotty garbage service.
Gene and I both have alleys running behind our houses. The alleys are where we place our garbage for pickup each week.
Gene has been placing his trash along his alley for as long as he has lived in his house. It's the way it has always been collected, he says.
I used to haul my trash from the back of my property to the front of the house, to be collected with trash put out by my neighbors. But I got wise a few years ago.
My neighbor, Jeanne, who lives behind me, puts her garbage on the alley. So does another neighbor. The garbage man would back his truck down the alley and grab their stuff with no problem.
I decided a few years ago that I, too, would put my trash there. The alley is only a few steps from the carriage house, where I keep my trash cans. And there is no through traffic to worry about, if my trash cans should happen to roll into the street after the garbage man throws the empties back onto the curb lawn.
Things worked out perfectly for a while. Then problems surfaced last winter.
The garbage man would occasionally skip our pickups. Then our untouched cans would get knocked over, or buried, by the plow drivers who cleared the alley.
I'd call the borough to complain, and the trash would eventually get picked up.
The problem went away in the spring, and regular collection occurred over the summer and fall.
Then, over Christmas, the garbage man skipped us one week. Then the next week.
I called the borough again.
The borough, and the garbage company, came up with a solution. It's a gigantic green garbage bin, with wheels.
Jeanne and I are to put our garbage in it each week. The garbage man will walk down the alley, wheel it up to the cross street, empty it and wheel it back, I was told.
Jeanne was skeptical. I was hopeful.
On Monday, the big bin was emptied and returned behind the carriage house.
I called Gene to tell him about it. He told me he got a big green bin, too, after experiencing his own problems of having his garbage left untouched.
Then the similarities ended.
The garbage man drove down his alley to empty his bin.

Bungee from the iconic bridge with UK Bungee.
Work to improve trackside facilities and disabled access at Middlesbrough's Clairville Stadium has been completed.
The upgrade work at the popular athletics venue included the installation of a trackside shelter for all athletes and spectators and improved access to the track from the main building for disabled people.
Outdated bench seating in the main stand has also been replaced as part of the project.
The interior of the stadium was refurbished in 2006 to improve accessibility but access to the track and grandstand remained limited for many disabled athletes and visitors. Funding from Middlesbrough Council was allocated this year as access for all was identified as a high priority.
The completed work was officially unveiled at a Tees Valley Sport athlete assessment day for disabled athletes as part of the national Playground to Podium (P2P) initiative.
P2P is designed to identify and nurture young disabled people with the potential to become elite athletes and performers.
The scheme is a collaboration between Youth Sport Trust, Sport England, Paralympics GB and UK Sport and is aimed at young disabled people aged between 12 and 18 years who have previously been identified as having talent by their schools
They are given the opportunity to test their skills and abilities in four sports - wheelchair basketball, football, table tennis and athletics – with the athletics session taking place at Clairville.
Those with the potential to become elite performers will be identified, while others will be referred to high quality coaching opportunities and community sport to ensure that they can reach their potential and continue to enjoy sport.
Jean Lordon, Executive Director of Tees Valley Sport, said: "This scheme improves access which then brings the facility up to the 21st century in terms of people being able to participate in athletics and as well as being spectators.
"It also enables more young people with disabilities to engage in sport."
Councillor Brenda Thompson, Middlesbrough Council's Executive Member for Public Health and Sport, added: "Clairville has been the home of athletics in Middlesbrough for many years, and I'm delighted that this work will see that continue for some time to come.
"The facilities are already excellent, and this can only improve the experience of those taking part in sport, and those who have come to watch."

Safety bond receives overwhelming approval
Bremerton residents voted overwhelmingly to support the public safety bond, Proposition 1, at the Sept. 17 primary.
The bond allows residents to contribute to the citys revitalization efforts by paying property taxes for police and fire upgrades, Mayor Cary Bozeman said.
What theyre saying is were important enough for them to reach into their wallets and support us, said assistant Fire Chief Mick McKinley.
Their quality of life is increased and insured by a well-prepared police and fire department, he added.
The public safety measure, which needed a 60 percent majority to pass, was approved by just over 65 percent of voters.
Out of Bremertons 14,668 who are registered, 4,342 voted on the measure.
Now that the bond has passed, the city can purchase, remodel and equip the US Bank Building on Pacific Avenue for the police department, purchase six new patrol cars, construct a new fire station and purchase three new fire trucks and a ladder truck.
The total on the bond, generated by about $4.90 a month in property taxes for each homeowner, will be $12,979,000.
The Police and Fire Department should be moved in to their new location by spring of 2004 at the earliest and September 2004 at the latest, McKinley predicted.
Since the bond was first presented at City Council, Police Chief Rob Forbes, Fire Chief Al Duke and Mayor Cary Bozeman have made public appearances answering questions and explaining why the upgrades are necessary.
Currently, the fire and police buildings are old and cramped, and manufacturers have vowed not to repair the citys 30-year old ladder truck because of liability concerns.
The bond guarantees funding for public safety in a time that city and county governments have sizeable budget shortfalls.
In a city-conducted telephone survey of over 4,000 residents July 15, 71 percent agreed that we need to do whatever we can to support police and fire services, even if it means paying higher taxes.

Castro: Elian's Dad Is Coming
In his first national TV interview, Elian Gonzalez, 6, told Diane Sawyer on "Good Morning America" on Wednesday that he does not want to be visited by his father from Cuba, "because he'll take me to Cuba, and I don't want to go to Cuba." Today, Elian's father is preparing to come to Miami to reclaim his motherless child, according to an announcement made last night by Cuban President Fidel Castro. Castro, appearing on Cuban TV, said that Juan Miguel Gonzalez is "ready to immediately" go to Florida if the U.S. government -- which has said that the boy must be returned to his father -- would commit itself to turning the boy over to him. A State Department official told The New York Times that Elian's father had yet to ask for permission to enter the U.S. Family members of Elian in Miami are defying the federal decision to send the boy home.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Sirtex Medical signed an agreement with SingHealth under which researchers from Singapore General Hospital (SGH) and National Cancer Center Singapore (NCCS) will explore the potential of a new technology known as carbon-cage nanoparticles toward the development of a new generation of cancer therapies.
According to the Australian National University, carbon-cage nanoparticles carry a high internal payload of radioactive material while the outer carbon shell is chemically inert and possesses properties for the attachment of cancer-targeting agents or coatings that can impart stealth-like properties to the nanoparticles. Such properties can enhance their ability to evade detection by the immune system, thus improving their ability to target specific cancers.
Carbon-cage nanoparticles are sub-micron size particles of graphitic carbon that encapsulate a metallic core. The technology had its start in Technegas, which was originally invented by Bill Burch, Ph.D., at the Royal Canberra Hospital and the Australian National University in 1984. Technegas has been used in nuclear medicine as an inhalable aerosol of carbon-cage nanoparticles containing a radiologically detectable radioisotope for the diagnosis of blood clots in the lungs.
The agreement will comprise several research projects. The first will evaluate the technology's use in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer that has spread within the abdominal and pelvic cavities. A range of other gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, and female genitourinary cancers may potentially benefit from the new treatment approach.
"Over the past six years Sirtex has been working with the Australian National University to develop a leading position in nanoparticle IP that may be developed for the treatment of human cancers in areas of unmet clinical need," Gilman Wong, Sirtex' CEO, said. "This master research collaboration agreement with SingHealth is a milestone in the development of Sirtex' carbon-cage nanoparticle technology and brings together a leading group of physician scientists from the National Cancer Center of Singapore with a strong track record of transitioning new technologies into the clinic."
In June of 2010, Sirtex signed an agreement with SGH to determine which of two drugs, sorafenib or SIR-Spheres (a medical device used in interventional oncology to deliver Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) to the liver), should be the first-line drug and which the second-line for patients with inoperable liver cancers. The trial was fueled by about $10.2 million—a lump-sum gift of $8.5 million from Sirtex Medical, and $1.65 million to be disbursed over five years from the National Medical Research Council.
Sirtex has also been busy expanding its manufacturing capabilities. In November, they announced plans to establish and commission a manufacturing facility in Germany, which would be completed over the next two years at a cost of $4.5 million. Also, back in August, Sirtex began tripling its manufacturing capacity of SIR-Spheres at its Willmington, MA facility. The company invested approximately $4 million to install two hot cells together with ancillary equipment over 18 months.

Objective: To analyze the potential effects of preoperative age on postoperative weight loss in patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) with long-term follow-up data.
Background: The reasons for individual differences in surgically induced weight loss are not completely understood. To date, there are no available studies specifically aimed at analyzing the effects of age on weight loss in patients undergoing the same operation and with long-term follow-up data.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data for all patients who underwent RYGBP between 2006 and 2010. To evaluate weight loss, we used preoperative and follow-up body mass index (BMI), analyzed by the mixed-effects linear model for repeated measures. To evaluate age effects, patients were classified in quartiles (≤35 years, 36–42 years, 43–51 years, ≥52 years).
Results: A total of 489 patients entered the study; preoperatively, the younger group showed a significantly higher BMI (mean BMI: 48.2 in patients aged ≤35 years, 46.9 in 36–42 years, 45.5 in 43–51 years, 45.7 in ≥52 years, P = 0.014) and a higher percentage of super-obesity (41.6% among patients aged ≤35 years, 28.1% among 36–42 years, 27.6% among 43–51 years, 28.3% among ≥ 52 years, P = 0.047). In spite of this, younger patients experienced a significantly greater and prolonged BMI decrease during the entire follow-up period and the BMI trend over time resulted significantly modified according to age quartiles (P = 0.036).
Conclusions: This study provides a new prognostic factor in bariatric surgery: patient age. Because advanced age represents a risk factor for complications and mortality, and given that bariatric surgery may not be as effective in older patients compared to younger subjects, we believe that surgical indications in patients older than 50 years should be carefully weighed up.

Rimmonim are placed above the mantle that covers the sacred Torah scroll. Their bells ring when the Torah set is processed in ceremony. The word rimmonim means 'pomegranates' in Hebrew and the shape of this pair in particular is reminiscent of the fruit. These rimmonim were made by renowned goldsmith Gerald Benney as part of a miniature Torah set.
Judaica has always reflected the artistic styles of its time. In the late 19th century it was available through large companies such as Joseph & Horace Savory and cherished pieces were brought into England by the Jews who had fled the pogroms in Eastern Europe. Later, the two world wars and the Holocaust meant that little Jewish silver was produced. It was not until Jewish communities had become more established that synagogues began to commission new work. Many of the designers, including Gerald Benney, are non-Jewish but their work has enabled traditional Jewish religious customs and practices to be fulfilled in a modern style.
