The Essential Structure of Judgment Proofing
Lynn M. LoPucki
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - School of Law
Stanford Law Review, Vol. 50, No. 4, 1998
This article argues that substantially all judgment proofing can be described through a single model: a symbiotic relationship between two or more entities, in which one of the entities generates disproportionately high risks of liability while the other owns a disproportionately high level of assets. The two entities typically are joined by a contract that allocates the profits gained from externalization of the tort liability. Proof that the model is workable even in large businesses is made by demonstrating that a single business can be divided into two such entities without altering its components or its function. The courts cannot collapse the two entities into one because no principle exists for distinguishing them from each other or from their environment.

Home Water Softeners in Santa Clarita
Are You Dealing with Los Angeles Hard Water?
Most of Los Angeles County and Southern California, including Santa Clarita, have hard water. As water flows over rocks and soil, it picks up many naturally occurring elements as they dissolve. Many minerals end up in the water, making it "hard". The higher the concentration of minerals in the water, the harder the water is. While the hard water in Santa Clarita doesn't pose health threats, it does cause problems for common household activities like showering, washing clothing, and washing dishes.
Most times, hard water is visible through the results it creates. For example, hard water usually results in soap scum, film left on the body and hands, hair that is limp, dingy and short-lived clothing articles, increased scale in pipes and kitchen appliances like coffee pots or pasta pots, and clogged pipes due to this buildup. Hard water in Santa Clarita is no exception.
Water in Santa Clarita containing more than 1.0 grains per gallon of total hardness is considered "Hard Water". Removing the grains is the only way to get the hard water in Santa Clarita to be truly Soft Water.
Hard Water Solutions in Santa Clarita
We offer several different Home Water Softeners to effectively soften the hard water in Santa Clarita, for the benefit of your family and your home. Many people prefer water with less minerals because hard water leaves mineral deposits on pipes, appliances and dishes and requires more soap when cleaning. Soft Water also leaves your skin and hair feeling much cleaner and softer.
The FILTRAMAX™ is the ultimate solution for high quality water in Santa Clarita. It comes with the HYgene Bacteriostatic Filter Media which is technology used aboard the NASA Space Shuttle Orbiters. FILTRAMAX also comes with silver impregnated activated carbon which inhibits growth of bacteria within the filter media bed while refining your water. Puronics FILTRAMAX is backed by over 60 years of world-class innovation and expertise in household, commercial and industrial water treatment. The ultimate solution for the softest water in Santa Clarita.
The Puronics Defender water conditioner is the budget-minded solution to supply high quality water in Santa Clarita in an energy efficient manner. With the affordable Defender system, your family can enjoy the benefits of carbon filtered conditioned water without any worry of sinking under the cost.
The Puronics Hydronex whole-house water conditioner provides superior quality water. This cost-effective hi-tech system utilizes a computerized control valve to monitor your water usage and maintain optimal effectiveness of the filter media ensuring you always have the highest quality water in Santa Clarita.

Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant has signed a bill that allows prayers led by students over school intercoms, at graduations, or at sporting events.
The new law says all Mississippi school districts must adopt a policy that lets students express their religious beliefs at various school events.
"We believe that we're on firm ground here with our opportunity for religious expression in a limited forum within public schools," Bryant said Thursday. "That does not mean that they won't file a lawsuit, and we'll see how that comes out for us."
The policy must include a disclaimer that the student's views are not endorsed by the school district.
The American Civil Liberties Union said the measure is likely to prompt a lawsuit. The measure becomes law by July.

Ford has managed to stay strong through the tough economic times with a large part of its success attributed to the "One Ford" policy installed by boss Allan Mulally. But not all Ford enthusiasts are fans of this policy particularly with recent speculation, after Mulally's comments at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, that next Ford Falcon would be transferred to a front-wheel drive platform, shared with the American Taurus.
We love our RWD machines and most Falcon fans turn red at the thought of it going front drive, but new reports that comments by Mulally at the Paris Motor Show may calm those fears. The Ford CEO has now acknowledged that rear drive vehicles are still commercially viable, and continued that the automaker would continue to make vehicles that customers want.
While Mulally didn't exactly announce that the Mustang and Falcon would one day share a platform, he hinted that it's a possibility. Mulally said that rear-wheel drive platforms will be global in the future, adding "we love our rear-wheel drive platforms and we love Mustang, and they're global platforms."
This isn't the first time rumours about the Falcon and Mustang sharing a rear drive platform have surfaced. In January of this year it was revealed that the next Mustang would house an independent rear suspension set up. Making it even more likely that the Falcon and Mustang would share that platform.

a few basic questions about sound recording and hardware..
Dear 64studio folks, I am a Debian Etch user.. I read about 64studio in Linux Format. I have some general questions about using a computer to make sound recordings. The LXF article suggests that you need a special soundcard to do recording work. Only certain ones were supported with drivers. THe one in their article was a Layla3G card... But I think it also functioned as a midi interface i.e. so I could hook up my guitar synthesiser tot it and drive a software synthesiser (yes??) and make files in Rosegarden (yes??)... How good is this Layla device? I rang up M-Audio and talked to them and they said that I needed a Delta 1010 device that would function (correct me if I am wrong here) as a midi interface and a 8 channel mixer.... Is that correct? The guy said it included microphone preamps... My notion of this at a dumb level is that I could mic up a drum kit and a guitar and bass through regular amps and some vocals and send each mic signal to its own recording channel (track) and vary the gain independently on it using this device... Is this correct? At a fairly dumb level, could I create a drum track with Hydrogen and us the guitar synthesiser in bass mode to drive the creation of a bass track in Hydrogen (or Rosegarden - please help me here) to accompany the drum track? Then I could make a CD out of it and use it as a backing track to play along to with my guitar for example..... I notice that most of the software used in 64 studio is present in synaptic in Debian Etch r0..... I thought about installing it on my machine here (I have an AMD 3200 64 bit box and am running the AMD64 version of Etch. But then I began reading the LXF article in more detail and I realised that the kernel had been optimised for real time applications and so the standard 2.6.18 kernel I have in Etch is probably not going to work properly with the music software.... The Debian illuminati thought it would be trivial to stick the patches in to the existing kernel bought I have seen emails with other people's attempts to this who failed so I think I will give that one a miss thanks but no thanks... What I plan to do is to get a SATA drive and put the 64studio on it..... I am used to having more than Linux distribution on my machine. I would appreciate recommendations of the best midi interface/preamp mixer/super soundcard beastie for my machine and activities........ Your comments are appreciated. regards Michael Fothergill
Subjectivity in audio
For all of you who are interested in what good gear is, keep this in mind. Audio is very subjective. Some people like high-fi digital production, some people like one cheap mic in a garage type sound. What you buy depends on the sound you are striving for. One thing you could do is consider bands/songs that you like the sound of, and try to find gear that was used to produce that sound. As far as studio equipment goes, a lot depends on what features you desire out of your equipment. Some people don't use midi, so there is no sense in buying an audio card with midi capabilities. Not all gear is created equally either. Really the best thing to do is to try out a lot of different gear at your local music shop. In my area we have a store called Guitar Center and you can test out the gear right there in the store. They will let you use a quiet room to compare microphones. You should buy what you like, not what someone tells you to buy. Keep in mind, sometimes you get what you pay for. Now I am in no way endorsing you to go out and buy a 3,000 dollar microphone, but I've learned that with guitars and amps, you generally get what you pay for. I broke down and bought a Gibson Les Paul and a Mesa Boogie F-30. I love my sound. I finally have the sound I've always wanted. It cost me 2,000 dollars to get that sound. That is my taste though, you may have a very different palette. If you take anything away from this, remember this, buy something because you like the way it sounds and it fits your needs, don't buy it because people tell you it's what you need. Daniel, I personally would like to thank you on behalf of the inquisitor as you have been more than helpful.
a few questions about microphones...
Dear folks and Daniel, I have been reading about microphones on the internet a bit and looking at prices. I do have some microphones but they rather old now I guess. What is odd is that there seem to be fairly cheap microphones like the Shure SM57 that are regarded as being excellent and others like the Neumann U87 or whatever it is that are unbelievably expensive that are also regarded as being very good. E.g. for recording a snare drum it seems that an SM57 is first rate. Recording vocals with an SM58 is also pretty good it would seem too. But better for vocals seems to be to get a microphone with a condenser and a dynamic function in it i.e. two microphones in one and blend them together in a mix and match fasion that I think you can control to some extent if it's a fancy enough microphone. If you are recording drums you are supposed to also have overhead microphones as well to get a stereo image and I guess some surround sound or whatever it's called. These ones I think are supposed to be condenser microphones. I occured to me that if combining the sound of a dynamic microphone with a condenser one is good for vocals why not buy an SM58 and a relatively cheap condenser microphone and then use both in parallel through separate channels or even tracks and then blend the sound yourself to get the apparently better result that is claimed for the combination..... There are some of these fancy double barrelled microphones that are sold by e.g. AKG and Audio Technica that seem to be cheaper alternatives to the Neumann U87. Do you have a favourite one here. Also which microphones do you think are good for the following: Vocal Acoustic guitar Bass Drum Tom Tom Crash/Ride Cymbal Hi Hat Piano Flute Saxophone Guitar Amp Bass Guitar Amop Trumpet Harp. I have a list of suggested mics for these applications but opinion varies on different web sites. I am not going to prejudice people's responses with these recommendations. I am interested in your opinions on reasonably economic choices. Another comment about recording drums in a home studio. I have been reading web pages on this. People recommend funny things like putting mics in an adjacent room to get ambience etc. When I was a kid my pals and I recorded the drums in a glass conservatory attached to the house. This got plenty of ambience and did not sound like it had been recorded in someone's living room. We used to put a towel over the snare to get a less rattly sound out of it. We also used to stick cushions and so on i the bass drum to fix that as well. We found that with various tricks and farting around we could get a cheap drum kit to sound quite alot better. The snare always took a good 40 minutes of messing with to get it sound OK. In those days I used to think that adding electronic reverb, echos and delay type effects seemed to be a good way of altering the drum sound so that you couldn't really tell that it had been recorded e.g. in a living room. Maybe that was a dumb idea. We used to make jokes about "mineshaft recordings", with too much reverb/delays, not enough close mics and general incompetence. Hints on ways to avoid the mineshaft recording problems especially recording drums at home with not too many microphones would be appreciated. There was also a tendency to get carried away with the vocals..... Comments appreciated. Regards Michael Fothergill
Choice of audio and MIDI interface
Hi Michael, It's not strictly neccessary to have a 'studio' soundcard in order to make music, any interface supported by the ALSA (PCI, USB) or ffado (FireWire) drivers will work. Having said that, many of the 'consumer' grade soundcards are poor quality, and lack features. Many of them have hardware which can only operate at 48KHz sample rates, which is a pain if you're trying to use the Jack sound server at 44.1KHz sample rate for CD production. Also, the A/D conversion tends to be poor and the analogue noise floor is high. The Delta 1010 is a good interface, but it doesn't have mic pre-amps - you'll also need an 8-buss mixer or an 8-channel pre-amp to make the most of it. It also has MIDI I/O, which you can use with your standard MIDI gear and apps like Hydrogen and Rosegarden. You can create a system like this yourself from Debian package repositories and a little source code building, but it's a great deal easier to use 64 Studio as a starting point. I'd suggest you try our distro first, then research the various audio/MIDI interfaces available and see what meets your needs.
mixers, preamps, linux audio user list....
Dear Daniel, Thank you for your response. You mentioned that I would need either an 8 buss mixer or an 8 channel preamp. I looked into this a little. It seems that there are a wide variety of different kinds of mixers. Some are analogue, some digital, some are a kind of hybrid. It seems that if you use a preamp there is some way you can do mixing in the software at the PC terminal... But people seem to prefer a physical mixer apparently. I thought an 8 way preamp might be cheaper than an 8 way mixer but the 8 way preamp made by M-Audio seems to cost about the same amount of money as the Firewire Digital Audio Interface they sell (looks like a mixer to me) called the NRV10 at £449. This seems a bit expensive to me. I found a web site on mixers written by a person called tweaky or something. Good grief... I had no idea the mixing business has become so complex. What about a cheaper mixer? I searched the web and found an Alto L-8 live mixer that costs only £114.99. It says it is 8 channel 4 mono + 2 stereo and it has a digital effects processor in it.... Would this be OK? What mixer or preamp would you recommend to go with the Delta 1010? I tried to register with the linux audio user list but it seems to have produced no reply. I used my hotmail account as my email address. I am trying to avoid clogging up this forum with dumb questions..... I will download the 64 studio iso and burn a CD or DVD for it. I think I will buy a SATA drive for it to ensure fast data transfer. On my AMD 64 machine (AMD 3200 Sempron; AM2 board)I have an integrated 5.1 channel AC97 sound card made by ADI whoever they are as far as I know. How bad is this soundcard? Can I run 64studio a little bit with it to learn about it? At the moment I only have 500 MB of RAM. Should I buy another 1GB? Your comments are appreciated. Michael Fothergill
Analogue versus digital mixers
Hello Michael, Digital mixers have their own A/D convertors, so you wouldn't need a Delta 1010 to use one. Most digital mixer users go for something like an RME card with an ADAT interface, but that's an expensive option. There's no straight answer to the digital/analogue mixer question, it's just a personal preference. It's not about the budget; many high-end setups are still based on analogue mixing. I wouldn't recommend buying a really cheap analogue mixer, they are a false economy. A good mixer to go with the Delta 1010 would be something like an 8-buss analogue mixer from Mackie or Allen & Heath. You can buy these secondhand, but watch out for reliability problems caused by a lack of maintenance - crackly pots and noisy faders, for instance. John Rigg rates the DDA D series mixers, and Ron Parker still has his Soundtracs console, but these could be harder to find parts for. A lower cost option is a Seck 1282 desk, which were popular with small studio owners in the 1980s. I've made good recordings with one of these, but as with all discontinued and obsolete mixers, condition is everything because repairs would be expensive. A replacement Seck power supply costs more than the desk is worth! There are FireWire products that combine a multichannel pre-amp and A/D conversion, such as the Presonus Firepod. The main drawback to these is that they don't offer the hands-on control of an analogue mixer, so people often combine these with a 'control surface' to provide mixer-like knobs and faders. This combination effectively turns your PC into a digital mixer, with the benefit over an analogue mixer of fader automation. (You can recall the position of motorised faders using a saved setting, rather than having to remember where you put them). I would recommend trying 64 Studio with your AC97 card and existing hard disc first. PATA drives are plenty fast enough for some tests, and 512MB RAM is enough to get started with.
I installed 64 studio...
Dear Daniel, I bought myself a 250 GB SATA drive. It is fast. I have installed 64 studio on my AMD 64 box. The software titles are all there. I have a good drive and a not great sound card. I guess its a start. The software is there but I don't know what to do with it... Is there a general how to somewhere or do I read the docs on each application? By the way I found someone selling a Seck 1282 in London for £150. It had been in studio where people didn't smoke according to the guy selling it and it was in OK shape. Why do companies only sell 24 8 or 32 8 true 8 bus mixers and not e.g. a 12 8 device? Are they desperate to have a big price tag on them or is there no market for something like a 12 8 true 8 buss mixer? There are lots of much cheaper mixers that say they 8 channel in some way but not 8 buss i.e. I assume they ar not true 8 buss mixers. What do I know... I have only ever used simple mixers in my time. What can I do with what I have now? An AC 97 soundcard some relatively old but OK speakers, a sound head set I got for doing Skype with that I think might only be mono and ...... that's it I think. Suggestions welcome. I would like to create a drum backing track for the song Money by Pink Floyd. Drummers I have used in the past just can't play it to save themselves. It's in 7/8. I bought a Roland Guitar synth in the 1990s and tried to program the drum track into that but it was lousy. Real drummers are very spontaneous and can drive the band along. Computer drum tracks seem to follow rather than lead in my opinion and are somewhat hypnotic. But maybe there is a way to fight these problems with this software..... P.S. If you buy some music score can you scan it and OCR it in some exotic way and then stick the score into the software here and get it to play it? It would be fun to try it with a symphony or something to see how good it is. Regards Michael Fothergill
Caveat emptor :-)
Hello Michael, Regarding the Seck desk, unfortunately it's impossible to know if that particular one is a good choice until you've used it for a while, as I doubt you'd get any kind of warranty. Instead of the analogue desk and Delta 1010 combination, since you don't have a mixer already you might like to look at something like a Presonus Firepod, a FireWire interface with eight mic pre-amps on board. The Hydrogen drum sequencer/sampler has a Humanize control (on the right hand side of the mixer) which will insert some randomness into the playback, that might be what you're looking for. I've never tried to OCR a musical score, but you certainly can import MIDI files into Rosegarden. There are some music OCR programs for Windows, but I'm not aware of any free software or Linux-based direct equivalents. Gamera has been used for music OCR, but it's not really aimed at end users: http://ldp.library.jhu.edu/projects/gamera/ Cheers! Daniel
I got a different Seck desk......
Dear Daniel, I got a Seck 1282 desk for £114 including the courier charge. It needed some repair work that they did on it and then increased the price to £149. But they forgot to change the price advertised on the web from £99 to £149. So when I rang up they agreed to sell it at the advertised price on the web. I think they have to do this under the law. I need to figure out if it is working properly. They didn't seem to send a manual. I will root around in the packaging again but I don't think there is one in there. I guess one thing I can do is to connect the power supply and turn it on and check that at least the power is working OK. I am not sure if the machine is supposed to light up in some way when you turn it on. I guess I will find out. Any checks you can think of would be appreciated. It comes with 3 months warranty apparently but if something is wrong with it I have to detect it within 7 days and I have to get it back to the shop myself (it came from Bristol and I am in Lancashire). What is phantom power? People who have used the desk say it struggles a bit with quiet vocals because of noise. Some people say that they think the equalisation is odd in some way or other. They also thought that modern mic preamps would be superior for vocals. It has loads of buttons and switches on it and it will take me a while to figure out what they all do. I guess I need to find a mic with an XLR connector on it or whatever it is to test it. I don't have a mic to hand right now but I will have in week or two. Regards Michael Fothergill
Seck manual and phantom power
Hello Michael, Reprints of the Seck 1282 manual are available from GB Audio in Edinburgh: http://www.gbaudio.co.uk/data/seck.htm I'd strongly recommend ordering one if a manual wasn't supplied with your mixer. You should be able to test the channels using a line input on a 1/4" jack, and a pair of headphones. Quiet vocals are no problem with a good mic; the input channels shouldn't be noisy if the mixer is working correctly. There's nothing wrong with the design of the EQ, it's a standard British type three-band EQ with a swept midrange. And yes, there are better mic pre-amps available (for much more money), but the ones on the 1282 are plenty good enough to get started with. Phantom power is a way of powering a condenser microphone using the microphone cable itself (i.e. no batteries). Unless you have this kind of microphone, you should leave this switch off (it's on the front of the power supply). Cheers! Daniel

Boogaard's four-year, $6.6 million contract seems wildly excessive and will challenge coach John Tortorella's familiar assertion that paychecks don't influence lineup decisions. It is a fact, however, that Edmonton actually offered Boogaard -- who is going to Russia this summer to train with Pavel Datsyuk --$7 million over four years.
not sure what is more mind bogging, Edmonton offering the Boogeyman $7 million over 4 years, or that the Boogeyman is going to train with Pasha in Russia this offseason.

DURING the first six months of 1980, I was involved in the Indo-Chinese refugee relief effort in Thailand as a volunteer physician at Ban Vinai camp. This camp is the principal refuge of the Laotian Hmong population, who are enemies of the Communist Pathet Lao and Vietnamese governments because of the Hmong's collaboration with the United States in the war with North Vietnam. After the war, the Hmong maintained a strong resistance to Vietnam's troops until 1979, when they were defeated at Phu Bia, Laos. Now most of the Hmong are either refugees or under control of the Vietnamese occupying force, although the resistance continues on a much reduced level.
Since 1976, there have been accounts by the Hmong of chemical-biological warfare activity against their fighters and their villages and in experimentation programs. Although this was not an issue at the time I was in Ban Vinai, I had evaluated

NEWBURGH, N.Y — A search of the Hudson River has failed to turn up the rifle prosecutors say a New York woman used to kill her ex-boyfriend before stabbing his girlfriend to death in New Jersey.
The Times Herald-Record of Middletown reports that state police divers spent seven hours Thursday searching the shoreline in the city of Newburgh.
Prosecutors in Bergen County say 49-year-old Monica Moog used a rifle to kill 52-year-old Arthur Noeldechan of Washingtonville, N.Y., at Jung Yi Kim's home in River Edge, N.J. on Oct. 30, then used a knife to kill the 42-year-old Kim.
Their bodies were found the next day. Moog was later arrested in Rocky Hill. Conn. She's charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
Moog is expected to make her first court appearance today in Bergen County.

Eating with Peace and Moderationby Mariel Hemingway
This selection from Mariel Hemingway's Healthy Living from the Inside Out presents a mind shift in our approach toward eating, creating a positive relationship with food that brings both pleasure and peace of mind. In Eating with Peace and Moderation, lifestyle expert Mariel Hemingway shares her ABCs of peaceful eating, using exercises and tips to guide us from self-inquiry, through self-acceptance, to self-awareness. Hemingway shows us how to understand the whys and hows of our approach to food and what steps we can take to form a healthy relationship with food to enjoy every meal as a positive, life-affirming experience. "The way you eat is just as important as what you eat. The act of eating should provide a moment of respite during your day. After all, eating is the most fundamental act of taking care of yourself. While choosing nutritious, whole foods is one aspect of eating well, learning how to treat food with the consideration and respect it deserves-creating a good eating experience, whether alone or with your family-is equally crucial. Only when your attitude toward eating changes can food truly become one of the cornerstones of the balanced life-something that positively affects your life and brings you not just health but also pleasure and peace of mind."-from Eating with Peace and Moderation
Finding My Balanceby Mariel Hemingway
Actress Mariel Hemingway uses the lessons and practices of yoga as a starting point for her own personal reflections and a larger-than-life family story. The result is a searingly honest memoir that is firmly practical, as well as a moving narrative of the author's struggle to deal with a complex and often stressful life. Mariel was the third daughter born to Jack Hemingway, Ernest Hemingway's son, and Byra Whittlesey. Her older sister, Muffet, suffered for years from instability, while middle sister Margaux, a celebrated actress and model who was caught up in the fast lane, eventually died of the effects of her driven lifestyle. Their mother, Byra, was darkly moody and emotionally quixotic, and made no secret of her disdain for her husband, while Jack, himself insecure in no small part because of his celebrated father, a man he never really felt he knew, was an indifferent parent at best. Even before she was a teenager, Mariel was forced to assume the role of stable center of her family. In just about every way, she never really had a childhood of her own, a situation that was exacerbated by her sudden thrust into celebrity when she was first cast in sister Margaux's film Lipstick, then in Woody Allen's Manhattan. Suddenly, Mariel was a movie star. Always an athletic person, Mariel turned to yoga and its meditative practice in an effort to maintain her center while much of her life threatened to spin out of control. As the title of this remarkable memoir suggests, much of her adult life has been directed toward finding and maintaining her balance in situations that have been heartbreakingly unsettling and emotionally disorienting. Throughout the book, Mariel uses her yoga training as a starting point for each chapter, carefully describing a particular position, then letting her mind wander into thoughts of the past and her rocky life. As each chapter begins with instruction, so does the book end in the same way, the exercises this time organized in a sequence that can be followed by anyone who wants to practice them. Included are photos of Mariel as she performs the various moves. Living the life now of wife and mother to two teenaged daughters while still pursuing a career in film, Mariel Hemingway has weathered some of the worst storms that life can bring. Certainly she has found her balance. And in this deeply inspiring, thoroughly fascinating memoir, she shares for the first time the story of that journey.
Invisible Girlby Mariel Hemingway Ben Greenman
What is it like to be a teen with depressed addicts for parents, a mentally ill sister, and a grandfather who killed himself? In this moving, compelling diary, Mariel Hemingway writes as her teen self to share her pain, heartache, and coping strategies with young readers."I open my eyes. The room is dark. I hear yelling, smashed plates, and wish it was all a terrible dream." Welcome to Mariel Hemingway's intimate diary of her years as a girl and teen. In this deeply moving, searingly honest young adult memoir, actress and mental health icon Mariel Hemingway shares in candid detail the story of her troubled childhood in a famous family haunted by depression, alcoholism, mental illness, and suicide. Born just a few months after her grandfather, Ernest Hemingway, shot himself, Mariel's mission as a girl was to escape the desperate cycles of debilitating mental health that had plagued generations of her family. In a voice that speaks to young readers everywhere, she recounts her childhood growing up in a family tortured by alcoholism (both parents), depression (her sister Margaux), suicide (her grandfather and four other members of her family), schizophrenia (her sister Muffet), and cancer (mother). It was all the young Mariel could do to keep her head. She reveals her painful struggle to stay sane as the youngest child in her family, and how she coped with the chaos by becoming OCD and obsessive about her food. Young readers who are sharing a similar painful childhood will see their lives and questions reflected on the pages of her diary--and they may even be inspired to start their own diary to channel their pain. Her voice will speak directly to teens across the world and tell them there is light at the end of the tunnel. * A hugely important subject for millions (around 10% of Americans suffer from depression) of young adults who are perhaps growing up in families with mental illness, suicide, depression, schizophrenia, alcoholism, and depression, or who themselves suffer from it. * Very few memoirs speak directly to YA readers about mental illness, depression, and what it is like growing up in a troubled family. * Mariel Hemingway speaks honestly about her own experiences with depression, eating disorders, and OCD, and how she learned to overcome these issues.

Out Came the Sunby Mariel Hemingway Ben Greenman
A moving, compelling memoir about growing up and escaping the tragic legacy of mental illness, suicide, addiction, and depression in one of America's most famous families: the Hemingways.She opens her eyes. The room is dark. She hears yelling, smashed plates, and wishes it was all a terrible dream. But it isn't. This is what it was like growing up as a Hemingway. In this deeply moving, searingly honest new memoir, actress and mental health icon Mariel Hemingway shares in candid detail the story of her troubled childhood in a famous family haunted by depression, alcoholism, illness, and suicide. Born just a few months after her grandfather, Ernest Hemingway, shot himself, it was Mariel's mission as a girl to escape the desperate cycles of severe mental health issues that had plagued generations of her family. Surrounded by a family tortured by alcoholism (both parents), depression (her sister Margaux), suicide (her grandfather and four other members of her family), schizophrenia (her sister Muffet), and cancer (mother), it was all the young Mariel could do to keep her head. In a compassionate voice she reveals her painful struggle to stay sane as the youngest child in her family, and how she coped with the chaos by becoming OCD and obsessive about her food, schedule, and organization. The twisted legacy of her family has never quite let go of Mariel, but now in this memoir she opens up about her claustrophobic marriage, her acting career, and turning to spiritual healers and charlatans for solace. Ultimately Mariel has written a story of triumph about learning to overcome her family's demons and developing love and deep compassion for them. At last, in this memoir she can finally tell the true story of the tragedies and troubles of the Hemingway family, and she delivers a book that beckons comparisons with Mary Karr and Jeanette Walls.

Over the objections of developer Cesar Burgos, the City Council deferred action Thursday on a tax break that Burgos has said he needs to redevelop the mostly vacant site of the former Lake Forest Plaza mall in eastern New Orleans.
Burgos and co-developer Ashton Ryan have outlined plans for a $220 million development -- to be named the New Orleans East Marketplace -- that would include a Wal-Mart, several other stores, restaurants, a gas station, a movie theater, a parking garage and eventually an office tower, hotel and conference center.
Although district Councilwoman Cynthia Willard-Lewis repeated her strong support for the tax increment financing, or TIF, proposal that would let the developers keep nearly half of the sales tax revenue from the businesses at the site, she asked the council to postpone acting on the plan until Oct. 1.
Willard-Lewis said the city's proposed agreement with the developers needs to be made "tighter" to ensure that the city gets all the "deliverables" it deserves. A flurry of meetings in recent days revealed areas where amendments are needed, she said.
It was unclear whether she thought the amendments were necessary to win council approval of the plan.
Repeating developers' familiar warning that "time kills deals, " Burgos urged the council to act quickly. He said investors have made a $100 million commitment to his project but could withdraw it if there is more delay.
"We are a great American city that doesn't have a mall, " Burgos said. "Let's build one."
Besides Willard-Lewis, at least three other council members have expressed support for the basic idea of the Lake Forest Plaza TIF, though not necessarily for all details of the plan.
Despite postponing action on the Plaza TIF, the council voted to endorse an executive order outlining the city's overall policy on use of TIFs that Mayor Ray Nagin announced in July. A resolution endorsing the policy was approved 5-1, with Councilwoman Shelley Midura opposed and Stacy Head absent.
The basic idea of a TIF is that the city agrees to give up much of its tax revenue for several years from an area that currently is producing little or no revenue. Instead, the tax money goes into a fund to help pay for infrastructure or other improvements that will stimulate economic development at the site.
In the case of the proposed Plaza TIF, the city -- and, it is hoped, the state -- would each give up 2 cents of their sales tax revenue for 20 years from all stores and other businesses at the site, with the money being used instead to help finance construction of the Marketplace.
Overall, the city and state would each contribute $60 million through their tax revenue, and the developers would furnish the rest through a mix of cash, the value of the land and commercial loans.
Nagin's July order said the city would approve TIFs only for areas that are dormant or blighted and in which revitalization would not occur within the foreseeable future without approval of the tax break.
It said TIF districts, which require approval by the council, can involve either sales or property taxes and can be designed to stimulate either commercial or residential development. It said they can be used to finance public improvements, enhance infrastructure or "support investment needs that demonstrate clear public benefit."
The resolution the council adopted Thursday says the council "will endeavor to support city-initiated TIF districts and will take all necessary steps to approve tax increment financing" in areas that meet Nagin's basic criteria.
Council President Arnie Fielkow, who has prodded the administration for years to develop a comprehensive policy on TIFs, said Nagin's order put the city "light years ahead of where we were two years ago."
Midura, however, said she did not want to "rubber stamp" Nagin's order, which she said would remain in effect whether or not the council endorsed it. She objected to the procedures Nagin has put in place to monitor the performance of TIF districts. She also said the order would allow only the administration, not the council, to initiate TIF proposals.
The Bureau of Governmental Research has criticized both Nagin's executive order, saying it contains too many loopholes and allows too much discretion, and the proposed Plaza TIF, which it has said would give up public money to help the developers pay off private debts and would not obligate the developers to follow through on the ambitious plans they have outlined.

12 Ways College Prepared Us for MotherhoodLori Garcia
You think college: good times, stupid decisions, maybe a little learning. And then you think, "Hey, that kinda sounds like parenting!" Damn straight it does.
College is more than just beer bongs, cramming for finals and hazing; it's like boot camp for parenting!
Check out how college prepared us for the magical and maniacal world of motherhood:
Good Old Parental Concern 1 of 12Remember how the life choices you made in college made your parents' heads explode? From your belly piercing to your spring break tattoo to your infamous cameo on "Girls Gone Wild", you had your parents begging you for mercy. While things have calmed down in the party department, today the way you discipline (or don't discipline) your children has your parents concerned.
Arguing Roommates 2 of 12Instead of mediating your roommates' arguments over ramen noodles, you now ref arguments over who touched who first.
Group Projects 3 of 12In college, group projects meant someone wasn't going to pull their weight, leaving you to pick up the slack. Whataya know, you're still picking up the slack (and the Legos and the Barbie shoes).
High Drama 4 of 12College drama may have involved things like who slept with whose boyfriend, but in the land of parenthood, high drama involves pretty much everything else. And poop.
Being Broke-Ass Broke 5 of 12Once a starving college student, now a broke-ass mama. Kids are expensive, yo.
Suffering from a Hangover 6 of 12Instead of a hangover from a good time you wish you could remember, you now suffer a hangover from a rough night you wish you could forget.
Mad Vomit Skills 7 of 12You once played the part of the dutiful friend, holding your girlfriend's hair back while she puked out ridiculous amounts of Goldschläger. While party vomit may be a thing of the past, as a mom your ninja-like reflexes are no match for a little vomit.
Dealing with Distraction 8 of 12You once somehow managed to study while your roommates blasted music and partied all night long. As a parent you somehow manage to maintain a house while cooking, soothing, wiping, feeding and threatening. Multitask on mamas!
Changing Your Major 9 of 12You doubted your college major and then changed it at least three times. You've also majorly doubted parenthood more times than you care to admit.
Behold the Messy 10 of 12You never would have guessed that slob roommate would have prepared you for the messiness of motherhood.
Your Caffeine Addiction 11 of 12You caffeinated yourself through higher education and now that venti triple shot extra hot mocha cap is the only thing keeping you humming (and keeping that headache at bay).
The Freshman 15 12 of 12The 15 pounds you gained freshman year could only prepare you for the 15+ pounds left over from pregnancy.

Comcast Corp.'s David L. Cohen will testify in Washington on Wednesday for the third time regarding the cable-TV giant's proposed $45.2 billion purchase of Time Warner Cable Inc., this time before the Senate Commerce Committee.
The hearing, titled "At a Tipping Point: Consumer Choice, Consolidation and the Future Video Marketplace," is to include testimony by AT&T Inc. executive John Stankey.
AT&T operates one of the nation's largest wireless phone networks and offers U-Verse TV and Internet. It has proposed acquiring DirecTV for $48.5 billion.
DirecTV is the nation's largest satellite-TV operator.
This will be the first time that Comcast and AT&T will testify to lawmakers at the same hearing, scheduled for 2:30 p.m. in the Russell Senate Office Building.

Whoever designed the Franklin Mills mall must have been trying to thwart pickets and protests. The covered entrances become wind tunnels, and even day-old rain leaks water on those daring to pace around passing out pamphlets.
Despite the bitter conditions, none of the activists gathered outside the Aqua entrance Sunday wanted to come inside and warm up in Spencer's Gifts. Members of the Irish Anti-Defamation Federation (IADF) can't stomach the vulgar variations on "Kiss Me I'm Irish" trucker hats. They have no need for a St. Patrick's Day beer hookah.
"Spencer's thinks this stuff is cool and funny," sniffs Irish historian Clare McManus as she hands out neon-green fliers alerting shoppers to crimes against Irish culture.

The summary below is from the full report titled "A Model-Based Estimate of Cumulative Excess Mortality in Survivors of Childhood Cancer." It is in the 6 April 2010 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 152, pages 409-417). The authors are J.M. Yeh, L. Nekhlyudov, S.J. Goldie, A.C. Mertens, and L. Diller.
In the United States, more than 10 000 children each year receive a diagnosis of cancer. Fortunately, cancer treatments have improved. More than 80% of children who receive a diagnosis of cancer survive at least 5 years after the diagnosis, and many live to adulthood. However, cancer treatments have side effects that cause serious health problems, such as heart conditions or secondary cancer. As more children survive cancer, more information is needed about their health over their lifetimes.
To estimate the life expectancy of childhood cancer survivors.
The researchers studied a hypothetical group of patients aged 15 years who were still alive after receiving a diagnosis of cancer and treatment when they were aged 10 years. They used hypothetical patients because information on real long-term childhood cancer survivors is limited.
The researchers developed a computer model to estimate what would happen over the lifetimes of this hypothetical group of patients. They based the computer model on information from real patients who were followed for shorter periods to predict what would happen over the survivors' lifetimes. They looked at health outcomes, such as the likelihood of dying of the original cancer, secondary cancer, or other health conditions related to treatment of the original cancer. They compared the life expectancy of childhood cancer survivors with those in the general population (persons without childhood cancer).
The researchers estimated that patients aged 15 years who had survived cancer diagnosed at aged 10 years lived, on average, about 10 years less than the general population. The loss in life expectancy was different for different types of cancer. Survivors of kidney cancer died about 4 years earlier than the general population, whereas survivors of bone and brain cancer died about 18 years earlier.
The computer model was based on information from patients who were treated 20 to 40 years ago. The results may not apply to people who receive more modern childhood cancer treatments.
People who have survived childhood cancer have a shorter life expectancy than the general population. We need to develop better treatments for both the original cancer and for treatment-related health problems.

Interview with Paul N. Ylvisaker
The people who are rebelling, were they the poorest people?
I think if you took a look at who broke the windows in the first round, who threw the first brick, it would be mostly poor adolescents, but also, you can't quite determine whether they're also looking for excitement. But if you get caught in looking for who through the first brick, and for what immediate reason, you lose sight of where the basic causes and angers are and how to deal with them. You can't get preoccupied with the violence.

Orlando, The City Beautiful
Orlando is located in central Florida and nicknamed 'The City Beautiful'. It's also known as the theme park capital of the world, with seven of the ten most visited theme parks in North America. However, the city has a lot more to offer than amusement and water parks. The local music scene is alive with hip hop, metal, rock, reggae and Latino influences. As far as alternative activities go, there are numerous professional playhouses, the Orlando Ballet, world-class spas, sophisticated shopping and premiere golfing greens.
Water parks to fast cars
While theme parks are far from being the only drawcard to Orlando, they are abundant and make for a fun-filled visit. Walt Disney World resort, Universal Orlando resort, Wet 'n Wild water park, SeaWorld Orlando, Aquatica and Discovery Cove form the backbone of the tourist economy and have been delighting adults and children alike for many years. A lesser known fact about Orlando is that it is home to the largest collection of Tiffany glass in the world, which can be viewed in the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art. Also on the cultural side, the Orlando Shakespeare theatre provides a regular program of entertainment for more highbrow tastes.
As far as sports go, the offering in Orlando is fairly unique. Get a thrill from indoor skydiving or driving an authentic NASCAR-style stock car. Follow in the footsteps of Tiger Woods and play a few rounds of golf on some of the impressive greens. Jump in a kayak for a self-powered tour of the headwaters of the Everglades where you may spot alligators, bald eagles and other native fauna. You can also experience this swampy wilderness in classic style from the open deck of an airboat. In season, the 50-acre Harry P. Leu Botanical Gardens boast enough rose bushes and camellias to satisfy any green thumb. Shopping in Orlando shouldn't be overlooked, with two upscale malls containing a roster of luxury brands and two outlet centres for bargain hunters. At the end of a long day of sightseeing or shopping, relax at one of Orlando's world-class spas or wellness retreats.
Where to stay in the hotel capital of the USA
Orlando has the most hotels of any city in the USA and is one of the most frequented by conference goers. Given the slant towards family holidays, much of the accommodation caters to the budget conscious and few luxury hotels exist outside Walt Disney World resort. However, there are a number of four star hotels that provide a more than comfortable stay. Most major attractions in the city are based along International Drive, so for proximity to theme parks, booking a hotel in this area is the best best. Both Downtown Orlando and International Drive are serviced by an extensive bus network and as a result are popular and convenient locations to stay.

Take a few notions from The Invasion of the Body Snatchers, a couple more from Close Encounters of the Third Kind and add a touch or two of Hitchcock paranoia—from, say, The Thirty-Nine Steps. That, in effect, is what director Michael (Strange Behavior) Laughlin and writer William Condon did in concocting this amiable if pointless movie about aliens from space who take over a small Illinois town. Though the film's gimmicks are hardly novel, it does have a likable cast. Paul (Melvin and Howard) LeMat plays an entomology professor whose ex-wife and daughter are threatened by the creatures. Nancy (Blow Out) Allen, offhandedly funny and charming, is a sensationalist tabloid reporter who has made up a story that's too close to the truth. Louise (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) Fletcher is a government official from an agency that made some sort of pact with the aliens when they first landed 25 years ago. Kenneth Tobey, a hero in such '50s space monster films as The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, plays one of the creatures. Nobody is likely to dress up as a strange invader for Halloween, and you don't care whether they phone home. But as a breezy diversion, this film should hover around for a little while. (PG)

Elkins resident Rob Thompson crossed the finish line of the Boston Marathon Monday in an unofficial time of 4 hours and 4 minutes - just about two minutes before the first of two explosions erupted near the end of the renowned 26.2-mile race.
"I had just crossed the finish line and within a minute or two, I heard it and I turned around and looked and saw smoke," Thomas told The Inter-Mountain via phone from Newton, Mass., Monday evening. "They give you water and a PowerBar at the end of the race, and I was proceeding through that area when the second explosion went off."
At the time, Thompson had no idea that he had narrowly escaped suffering injuries or death in what federal law enforcement agents would later label a terrorist attack.

"I didn't know what happened exactly," Thompson said. "Now I'm very thankful that I was where I was. I could have very easily slowed down or stopped and been right in the middle of it."
Thankfully, Thompson's wife and daughter - who were waiting for him at the finish line - followed a crowd of fellow fans away from the area of the explosion, reunited with Thompson and then began to look for a way back to their hotel in Newton.
Thompson, who was one of 46 West Virginians to compete in the iconic race, said the entire subway system, known locally as the MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority), was shut down in the wake of the explosions.
"A couple really nice ladies who were race volunteers drove us to our hotel," Thompson said.
"I'm very thankful," Thompson added. "Tell everyone (in Elkins) I'm fine and thank you for your concern. We're driving home tomorrow."
Back in central West Virginia, local runners were in shock.
Matt Lewis, track and field and cross-country coach for Elkins High School, said he'd previously viewed running events such as the Boston race as unlikely targets.
"It certainly makes you think," Lewis said. "Of all the events and landmarks such as the White House, you never think, 'Oh, they're going to target a running event.' You think more along the lines of a football stadium or a basketball arena. To have it at a running event makes you think, 'Am I going to take my guys to a meet and have that happen?'"
Sid Gillespie, chief executive officer of the Elkins-Randolph County YMCA, ran the Boston Marathon in 2001 and 2002.
"I was shocked actually," Gillespie said of the news. "People were calling and texting and asking me if I was running Boston." He wasn't, but he does remember the glory of qualifying - but most importantly, completing - the race. It was a glory that was marred by today's explosive devices, he said.
"It's probably the most famous, the pinnacle event for marathon runners," Gillespie said. "It's terrible - there's 27,000 people that run and another 13,000 still on the course. As a runner, when you get to that last 500 yards, it's exciting."
Parsons native Jessica Gutshall, who is now a Morgantown resident, was outraged by the attack.
"I've run several half-marathons, yet to do a full, and I am horrified that this happened!" Gutshall exclaimed in a Facebook post. "How dare someone horrifically sabotage an event that celebrates those runners' dedication and perseverance to the sport? Qualifying for Boston is an honor that is not easily achieved. Shame on them for tarnishing it. Many prayers go out to those affected."
West Virginia's two senators, Joe Manchin and Jay Rockefeller, both offered their prayers for the victims of Monday's explosions.
"I'm deeply saddened about the explosions today during the Boston marathon," Rockefeller said in a press statement. "Sharon's and my thoughts and prayers are with the runners, volunteers, spectators, and their families and friends.
"While all the details of the explosions are not yet available, we can be clear that this was an absolutely senseless act, and those behind it will be brought to justice. In the face of such fright, we know that our nation once again comes together to support those in need - whether for those who lost a family member or friend, for those who are injured, or for those in shock from this terrible event. We will always stand together."
"Gayle and I join all West Virginians and Americans in praying for the victims of the horrific explosions in Boston," Manchin said in a press release. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Boston community, Massachusetts and our nation as we cope with the terrifying incidents at the Boston Marathon.
"Once again, in the midst of chaos in an American city, we saw heroism from our brave first responders and volunteers. We don't know all the details yet, but it appears this was a senseless act of violence aimed at innocent people who come from all over the world, including dozens from West Virginia, for this special sporting event. We cannot allow cowardice to go unchallenged." We will not allow it to go unpunished."

BeauSoleil was pretty darn good. Apparently there were issues with Iris DeMent's microphone, however, which is made it difficult to understand her lyrics. Unfortunate, as I wasn't familiar with her.
