The Best American Short Stories 1989by Margaret Atwood Shannon Ravenel
A compilation of the best American short stories from 1989.
The Blind Assassinby Margaret Atwood
"Ten days after the war ended, my sister Laura drove a car off a bridge." These words are spoken by Iris Chase Griffen, married at eighteen to a wealthy industrialist but now poor and eighty-two. Iris recalls her far from exemplary life, and the events leading up to her sister's death, gradually revealing the carefully guarded Chase family secrets. Among these is "The Blind Assassin," a novel that earned the dead Laura Chase not only notoriety but also a devoted cult following. Sexually explicit for its time, it was a pulp fantasy improvised by two unnamed lovers who meet secretly in rented rooms and seedy cafés. As this novel-within-a-novel twists and turns through love and jealousy, self-sacrifice and betrayal, so does the real narrative, as both move closer to war and catastrophe. Margaret Atwood's Booker Prize-winning sensation combines elements of gothic drama, romantic suspense, and science fiction fantasy in a spellbinding tale.<P><P> Man Booker Prize winner
Bluebeard's Eggby Margaret Atwood
With the publication of the best-selling The Handmaid's Tale in 1986, Margaret Atwood's place in North American letters was reconfirmed. Poet, short story writer, and novelist, she was acclaimed "one of the most intelligent and talented writers to set herself the task of deciphering life in the late twentieth century."* Of Atwood's first collection of short fiction, Dancing Girls, Anne Tyler wrote in the New York Times Book Review: "Her narrative style is as precise as cut glass; entire plots appear to balance upon a choice phrase, and clearly she writes with an ear cocked for the way her words will sound when read back." With Bluebeard's Egg, her second short story collection, Atwood covers a dramatic range of storytelling, her scope encompassing the many moods of her characters, from the desolate to the hilarious. The stories are set in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1980s and concern themselves with relationships of various sorts. There is the bond between a political activist and his kidnapped cat, a woman and her dead psychiatrist, a potter and the group of poets who live with her and mythologize her, an artist and the strange men she picks up to use as models. There is a man who finds himself surrounded by women who are literally shrinking, and a woman whose life is dominated by a fear of nuclear warfare; there are telling relationships among parents and children. By turns humorous and warm, stark and frightening, Bluebeard's Egg explores and illuminates both the outer world in which we all live and the inner world that each of us creates. *Le Anne Schreiber, Vogue
Bodily Harmby Margaret Atwood
Rennie Wilford is a freelance journalist who takes an assignment in the Caribbean in the hopes of recuperating from her recently shattered life. On the tiny island of St. Antoine, she tumbles into a corrupt world where no one is what they seem, where her rules for survival no longer apply. This is a thoroughly gripping novel of intrigue and betrayal, which explores human defensiveness, the lust for power both sexual and political, and the need for a compassion that goes beyond what we ordinarily mean by love. The enigma unfolds as it would for any innocent bystander swept up by events, bringing along the scruples, and the fears, of the past.From the Hardcover edition.
Cat's Eyeby Margaret Atwood
Controversial painter Elaine Risley returns from Vancouver for a retrospective of her work. Here, in Toronto, the city of her youth, she confronts the submerged layers of her past - her unconventional family, her eccentric and brilliant brother, the self-righteous Mrs. Smeath, and the two men Elaine later came to love in diverse and sometimes disastrous ways. But it is the enigmatic Cordelia, once her tormentor, then her best friend, whose elusive yet powerful presence in her life Elaine finally comes to understand. The realm of childhood and growing up, with its secrecies, cruelties, betrayals, and terrors, has never been so brilliantly evoked. By turns disquieting, humorous, compassionate, haunting and mordant, Cat's Eye is vintage Atwood.From the Hardcover edition.
Chockyby Margaret Atwood John Wyndham
In Chocky, pioneering science-fiction master John Wyndham confronts an enigma as strange as anything found in his classic works The Day of the Triffids or The Chrysalids--the mind of a child. It's not terribly unusual for a boy to have an imaginary friend, but Matthew's parents have to agree that his--nicknamed Chocky--is anything but ordinary. Why, Chocky demands to know, are there twenty-four hours in a day? Why are there two sexes? Why can't Matthew solve his math homework using a logical system like binary code? When the questions Chocky asks become too advanced and, frankly, too odd for teachers to answer, Matthew's parents start to wonder if Chocky might be something far stranger than a figment of their son's imagination. Chocky, the last novel Wyndham published during his life, is a playful investigation of what being human is all about, delving into such matters as child-rearing, marriage, learning, artistic inspiration--and ending with a surprising and impassioned plea for better human stewardship of the earth.
Dancing Girlsby Margaret Atwood
This splendid volume of short fiction testifies to Margaret Atwood's startlingly original voice, full of a rare intensity and exceptional intelligence. Her men and women still miscommunicate, still remain separate in different rooms, different houses, or even different worlds. With brilliant flashes of fantasy, humor, and unexpected violence, the stories reveal the complexities of human relationships and bring to life characters who touch us deeply, evoking terror and laughter, compassion and recognition--and dramatically demonstrate why Margaret Atwood is one of the most important writers in English today.
Dancing Girls and Other Storiesby Margaret Atwood
Dancing Girls is Margaret Atwood's highly praised first collection of short fiction. In it she explores the dark intricacies of the mind, the complexities of human relationships, and the clashes between cultures. In the stories, the mundane and the bizarre intersect in unexpected ways: ex-wives indulge in an odd feast at a psychiatrist's funeral; a young student is pursued by an obsessed immigrant; an old woman stores up supplies against an impending cataclysm. The fourteen stories range in setting from Canada to England, from Mexico to the United States, and portray characters who touch us and arouse in us compassion and understanding. In this astonishing collection, Margaret Atwood maps human motivation we scarcely know we have.From the Hardcover edition.
Dire Cartographiesby Margaret Atwood
In honor of the thirtieth anniversary of The Handmaid's Tale: Margaret Atwood describes how she came to write her utopian, dystopian works. The word "utopia" comes from Thomas More's book of the same name--meaning "no place" or "good place," or both. In "Dire Cartographies," from the essay collection In Other Worlds, Atwood coins the term "ustopia," which combines utopia and dystopia, the imagined perfect society and its opposite. Each contains latent versions of the other. Following her intellectual journey and growing familiarity with ustopias fictional and real, from Atlantis to Avatar and Beowulf to Berlin in 1984 (and 1984), Atwood explains how years after abandoning a PhD thesis with chapters on good and bad societies, she produced novel-length dystopias and ustopias of her own. "My rules for The Handmaid's Tale were simple," Atwood writes. "I would not put into this book anything that humankind had not already done, somewhere, sometime, or for which it did not already have the tools." With great wit and erudition, Atwood reveals the history behind her beloved creations.

The Doorby Margaret Atwood Phoebe Larmore
The Door, Margaret Atwood's first book of poetry since Morning in the Burned House, is a magnificent achievement. Here in paperback for the first time, these fifty lucid, urgent poems range in tone from lyric to ironic to mediative to prophetic, and in subject from the personal to the political, viewed in its broadest sense.

The Edible Womanby Margaret Atwood
Marian has a problem. A willing member of the consumer society in which she lives, she suddenly finds herself identifying with the things being consumed. She can cope with her tidy-minded fiancé, Peter, who likes shooting rabbits. She can cope with her job in market research, and the antics of her roommate. She can even cope with Duncan, a graduate student who seems to prefer laundromats to women. But not being able to eat is a different matter. Steak was the first to go. Then lamb, pork, and the rest. Next came her incapacity to face an egg. Vegetables were the final straw. But Marian has her reasons, and what happens next provides an unusual solution. Witty, subversive, hilarious, The Edible Woman is dazzling and utterly original. It is Margaret Atwood's brilliant first novel, and the book that introduced her as a consummate observer of the ironies and absurdities of modern life.
Foragers, Farmers, and Fossil Fuels: How Human Values Evolveby Margaret Atwood Jonathan D. Spence Stephen Macedo Christine M. Korsgaard Ian Morris Richard Seaford
Most people in the world today think democracy and gender equality are good, and that violence and wealth inequality are bad. But most people who lived during the 10,000 years before the nineteenth century thought just the opposite. Drawing on archaeology, anthropology, biology, and history, Ian Morris, author of the best-selling Why the West Rules--for Now, explains why. The result is a compelling new argument about the evolution of human values, one that has far-reaching implications for how we understand the past--and for what might happen next.Fundamental long-term changes in values, Morris argues, are driven by the most basic force of all: energy. Humans have found three main ways to get the energy they need--from foraging, farming, and fossil fuels. Each energy source sets strict limits on what kinds of societies can succeed, and each kind of society rewards specific values. In tiny forager bands, people who value equality but are ready to settle problems violently do better than those who aren't; in large farming societies, people who value hierarchy and are less willing to use violence do best; and in huge fossil-fuel societies, the pendulum has swung back toward equality but even further away from violence.But if our fossil-fuel world favors democratic, open societies, the ongoing revolution in energy capture means that our most cherished values are very likely to turn out--at some point fairly soon--not to be useful any more.Originating as the Tanner Lectures delivered at Princeton University, the book includes challenging responses by novelist Margaret Atwood, philosopher Christine Korsgaard, classicist Richard Seaford, and historian of China Jonathan Spence.
From Eve to Dawn, A History of Women in the Worldby Margaret Atwood Marilyn French
Analyzing feudalism in Europe and Japan and European expropriation of lands and peoples across the globe, Marilyn French poses a provocative question: how and why did women, with no power or independence, nourish and preserve the family unit and their own culture?Marilyn French's The Women's Room crystallized the issues that ignited the women's movement and was translated into twenty languages. She received her PhD from Harvard and taught English at Hofstra University, Harvard University, and Holy Cross College.Internationally acclaimed author and critic Margaret Atwood is the author of numerous works of fiction, including The Handmaid's Tale and The Blind Assassin.
Frozen in Timeby Margaret Atwood John Geiger Owen Beattie
The truth about what happened on Sir John Franklin's ill-fated Arctic expedition of 1845-48 has been shrouded in mystery for 165 years. Carrying the best equipment that the science and technology, Franklin and his men set out to "penetrate the icy fastness of the north, and to circumnavigate America." The expedition's two ships - HMS Erebus and HMS Terror - carrying 129 officers and men, disappeared without a trace. From 1846 to 1880 more than 20 major rescue parties were involved in the search for the missing men and ships. The disappearance of the expedition and absence of any substantial written accounts of the journey have left attempts at a reconstruction of events sketchy and inconclusive. In Frozen in Time, forensic anthropologist Owen Beattie and historian John Geiger tell the dramatic story of the excavation of three sailors from the Franklin Expeditions, buried for 138 years on the lonely headland of Beechey Island. This book contains the astonishing photographic record of the excavation, together with the maps and illustrations that accompany this riveting account of Franklin's fatal adventure. The unfolding of Dr. Beattie's unexpected findings is not only a significant document but also, in itself, a tale of high adventure.
Frozen in Timeby Margaret Atwood John Geiger Owen Beattie
The revised text of "Frozen in Time" expands on the history of nineteenth century British Arctic exploration and specifically the Franklin expedition, placing it in the context of other expeditions of the era, including those commanded by George Back and James Clark Ross.The Franklin expedition was not alone in suffering early and unexplained deaths. Indeed, the expeditions of both Back (1837) and Ross (1849) were forced to retreat because of the rapacious illness that stalked their ships. The authors make the case that this illness was due to the crews' overwhelming reliance on a new technology: tinned foods. This not only exposed the seamen to lead, an insidious poison, but also left them vulnerable to scurvy.The revised "Frozen in Time" will also update the research outlined in the original edition, and will introduce independent confirmation of Dr. Beattie's lead hypothesis, along with corroboration of his discovery of physical evidence for both scurvy and cannibalism. In addition, the book includes a new introduction written by Margaret Atwood, who has long been fascinated by the role of the Franklin Expedition in Canada's literary conscience.Includes never before seen photographs from the exhumations on Beechey Island and rarely seen historical illustrations.
Good Bonesby Margaret Atwood Rosemary Sullivan
In Good Bones, first published in 1992, Margaret Atwood has fashioned an enthralling collection of parable, monologue, mini-romance and mini-biography, speculative fiction, prose lyric, outrageous recipe and reconfigured fairy tale, demonstrating yet again the play of an unerring wit overseen by a panoramic intelligence. Good Bones is a cornucopia of good things -- precise, witty, wise, and sometimes offbeat Atwood writing, with the funny and the sidelong view of the world which her readers recognize at once.
Good Bones and Simple Murdersby Margaret Atwood
Margaret Atwood's Good Bones and Simple Murders (published originally as Murder in the Dark) are now available together in this beautiful one-volume collector's edition. This compilation is a concentrated burst of the trademark wit and virtuosity of Atwood's bestselling novels, brilliant stories, and insightful poetry. Among the miniatures gathered here are Gertrude offering Hamlet a piece of her mind, the real truth about the Little Red Hen, a reincarnated bat explaining how Bram Stoker got Dracula all wrong, and five home-economist methods of making a man. Atwood has fashioned an enthralling collection of parables, monologues, prose poems, condensed science fictions, reconfigured fairy tales, and other diminutive masterpieces, punctuated with charming illustrations by the author.A feast of comic entertainment, Good Bones and Simple Murders is Atwood at her wittiest, most thoughtful, and most provoking.From the Hardcover edition.
Gregorius: A Novelby Margaret Atwood Silvester Mazzarella Bengt Ohlsson
"Both a riveting novel on its own merits and an astonishing gloss on an earlier masterpiece."--Margaret Atwood Bengt Ohlsson, one of Sweden's most successful young writers, has responded to the classic Doctor Glas with Gregorius, which is the voice of Pastor Gregorius over the course of what could be his last and fateful summer. Gregorius is a rancorous, malodorous, and unattractive figure married to a girl young enough to be his granddaughter. But his sense of his own mortality, of his personal inadequacy, and his tenuous hold on happiness are uniquely absorbing and haunting. It is a compelling study of loneliness, longing, and the nature of love, the desires that bring people together and the fears that keep them apart.
The Handmaid's Taleby Margaret Atwood
The Handmaid's Tale is not only a radical and brilliant departure for Margaret Atwood, it is a novel of such power that the reader will be unable to forget its images and its forecast. Set in the near future, it describes life in what was once the United States, now called the Republic of Gilead, a monotheocracy that has reacted to social unrest and a sharply declining birthrate by reverting to, and going beyond, the repressive intolerance of the original Puritans. The regime takes the Book of Genesis absolutely at its word, with bizarre consequences for the women and men of its population. The story is told through the eyes of Offred, one of the unfortunate Handmaids under the new social order. In condensed but eloquent prose, by turns cool-eyed, tender, despairing, passionate, and wry, she reveals to us the dark corners behind the establishment's calm facade, as certain tendencies now in existence are carried to their logical conclusions. The Handmaid's Tale is funny, unexpected, horrifying, and altogether convincing. It is at once scathing satire, dire warning, and tour de force. It is Margaret Atwood at her best.
The Handmaid's Taleby Margaret Atwood
In this multi-award-winning, bestselling novel, Margaret Atwood has created a stunning Orwellian vision of the near future. This is the story of Offred, one of the unfortunate "Handmaids" under the new social order who have only one purpose: to breed. In Gilead, where women are prohibited from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships, Offred's persistent memories of life in the "time before" and her will to survive are acts of rebellion. Provocative, startling, prophetic, and with Margaret Atwood's devastating irony, wit, and acute perceptive powers in full force, The Handmaid's Tale is at once a mordant satire and a dire warning.From the Hardcover edition.
The Heart Goes Lastby Margaret Atwood
Imagining a world where citizens take turns as prisoners and jailers, the prophetic Margaret Atwood delivers a hilarious yet harrowing tale about liberty, power, and the irrepressibility of the human appetite. Several years after the world's brutal economic collapse, Stan and Charmaine, a married couple struggling to stay afloat, hear about the Positron Project in the town of Consilience, an experiment in cooperative living that appears to be the answer to their problems - to living in their car, to the lousy jobs, to the vandalism and the gangs, to their piled-up debt. There's just one drawback: once inside Consilience, you don't get out. After weighing their limited options, Stan and Charmaine sign up, and soon they find themselves involved in the town's strategy for economic stability: a pervasive prison system, whereby each citizen lives a double life, as a prisoner one month, and a guard or town functionary the next. At first, Stan and Charmaine enjoy their newfound prosperity. But when Charmaine becomes romantically involved with the man who shares her civilian house, her actions set off an unexpected chain of events that leave Stan running for his life. Brilliant, dark, and provocative, The Heart Goes Last is a compelling futuristic vision that will drive readers to the edge of their seats.From the Hardcover edition.
The Heart Goes Lastby Margaret Atwood
Margaret Atwood puts the human heart to the ultimate test in an utterly brilliant new novel that is as visionary as The Handmaid's Tale and as richly imagined as The Blind Assassin. Stan and Charmaine are a married couple trying to stay afloat in the midst of an economic and social collapse. Job loss has forced them to live in their car, leaving them vulnerable to roving gangs. They desperately need to turn their situation around--and fast. The Positron Project in the town of Consilience seems to be the answer to their prayers. No one is unemployed and everyone gets a comfortable, clean house to live in . . . for six months out of the year. On alternating months, residents of Consilience must leave their homes and function as inmates in the Positron prison system. Once their month of service in the prison is completed, they can return to their "civilian" homes. At first, this doesn't seem like too much of a sacrifice to make in order to have a roof over one's head and food to eat. But when Charmaine becomes romantically involved with the man who lives in their house during the months when she and Stan are in the prison, a series of troubling events unfolds, putting Stan's life in danger. With each passing day, Positron looks less like a prayer answered and more like a chilling prophecy fulfilled.From the Hardcover edition.

Governments may raid savings accounts in Spain, Italy, and other countries in order to save the euro.
That's already happening in Cyprus. The government will be taking money out of savings accounts to help save the country's banking system.
Jeroen Dijsselbloem, Dutch chairman of the eurozone, said that could serve as a model for other countries.
If there is a risk in a bank, our first question should be, 'Okay, what are you in the bank going to do about that? What can you do to recapitalize yourself?'" he said.
The London Telegraph reports he believes the success of the move in Cyprus shows that it can be done elsewhere.

The Minnesota Wild have called up defenseman Jonas Brodin from the Houston Aeros, the club's American Hockey League affilliate.
Talking with reporters today, Brodin said he's "glad to be here" and "ready to go."
(His comments can be heard on the Wild's PONDcast podcast, right here.
Brodin, 19, was Minnesota's first-round selection in the 2011 NHL entry draft (10th overall). Last year, he played in Sweden's Elite League.
This year, he started with Houston — but underwent surgery in November to repair a broken collarbone.
Brodin is expected to make his NHL debut Friday when the Wild travel to Detroit to face the Red Wings.

Hi ptutty
I'm certainly no expert and I'm sure one of the much more knowledgeable people will be by soon to help, but I have a very bad feeling that you have fried your PS. Doing anything inside a computer, anything at all, it must be turned off and unplugged from the wall, and you should have at least a wrist strap to guard against static electricity, or ground yourself another way. I sure hope I'm wrong, as I said I'm no expert. Hang in there, someone will be around soon who knows more. LG

text: Tweet The Little Match Girl Published: Monday, December 30, 2013 No one had bought anything from her the whole day, nor had anyone given her even a penny. "The Little Match Girl" is a short story written in 1848 by the Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen. The story of the little girl who tries to sell matches to earn a little money, but who finally freezes to death on the last night of the year, has caused many people to stop and reflect throughout the years. We are reminded of Jesus' own words in Matthew 25:40: "Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me." Have you stopped to think how you can make Jesus happy? Tags:AdversityCareChildrenChristmasDeath

Duran vs Buchanan: Was Foul Cry a Hoax?
I have played this video (and others) in real time and slow motion repeatedly, and to this day I have yet to see the alleged low blow that felled Buchanan. I'm not suggesting the scot was faking it, but could he have simply succumbed to the cumulative effect of Duran's punches, rather than a single shot to the groin?
In knee-jerk reacting fashion, people first refered to the shot Ali decked Liston with as a "phantom punch." Well, it happened in such a flash, one could miss it while blinking, but in slow mo, the impact is clearly revealed. The same can't be said of Duran's alleged foul, which if seen by the ref could have disqualified him.
If anyone has or can find a video that clearly shows Duran's low blow landing, please post it.

It's gotta be somewhere. When I watched it on TV, you could clearly see it was low, but not exactly where he hit him. Buchanan got testicular surgery after the fight, so it was definitely real.

Somewhere, in some highlight vid, I saw an HD shot of the KO from the corner to the fighters' left. It caught him so flush in the balls I actually had to pause the video to laugh. It was like a Looney Toons KO man. I'll see if I can find the video.

The look on Buchannan's face says it all to me. I've always been convinced that he wasn't faking or exaggerating.

the injury was legit.
I was spoke to Ken about 3 years ago and he said he still feels the effects of the injury everytime he goes for a piss and even admitted similar to Duran at a public function they attended.
Buchanan ended up with a ruptured bollock.

Buchanan had testicular surgery; to suggest that it was a result of cumulative shots to the abdomen is absurd. It was a low-blow after the bell. Duran should have been disqualified.

AMID THE CHAOS AND SUFFERING OF South Florida, it was a small yet inspiring drama. Setting their own losses aside, 100 dedicated men and women were working frantically to save the dazed and helpless animals roaming through the wreckage of Miami's devastated Metrozoo. For some of the more exotic creatures whose habitat was destroyed by Hurricane Andrew, survival was a race against time. The three koalas lost their only source of food—a eucalyptus grove—and the roof of their airconditioned enclosure, leaving the delicate marsupials to suffer in dangerously high heat and humidity. "It was very important to get them to another facility immediately," says Ron McGill, Metrozoo's assistant curator and a driving force behind the zoo's restoration, which could take at least six months. "We called Busch Gardens in Tampa, the closest zoo that has koalas, but we had the problem of getting them there fast."
After he made a radio appeal, a private pilot came to the rescue. He got permission from the National Guard to have a runway cleared at the debris-littered Tamiami Airport, loaded the koalas into his small plane and flew them to their temporary new home. "You shouldn't have to wait for a natural catastrophe for these things to happen," says McGill. "But it shows that a lot of good will come of this."
In Andrew's aftermath, the hasty cleanup of Metrozoo has emerged as one of the brightest examples of public generosity in a disaster area beset by looting, food and water shortages and the misery of 250,000 people left homeless. With its soaring aviary and sleek monorail, Metrozoo had been a source of civic pride for Miamians. But despite preparations that included drastically trimming trees and sheltering all flamingos, storks and cranes in the zoo's concrete restrooms, Andrew would not be denied. Exhibit roofs peeled off while uprooted trees and trailers tore through the air like missiles, demolishing chain-link fences and freeing an antelope herd, a gibbon, a tapir, hundreds of birds and several 500-lb. Galápagos tortoises. "We had to get a forklift to put the tortoises back," says McGill.
Another casualty was the zoo's spectacular aviary, containing 320 birds of 80 different species. The 60-foot-high netting roof collapsed, crushing many of the birds and leaving others at the mercy of 150-m.p.h. winds. Fortunately, the rhino and giraffes—which surprisingly weathered the blast uninjured—stayed in their torn enclosures, probably because "they felt more secure in a familiar place," explains McGill. The animals that might have posed a threat to humans—lions, tigers, bears and gorillas—rode out Andrew's onslaught behind the steel grates and poured concrete of their night houses. The zoos fatality list was miraculously short: three antelope, an ostrich hit by fling debris, a small gibbon and many birds.
"When I first got here," says McGill, "I sat down and cried. I wondered if we would ever be able to rebuild." In the three days after the storm, because the zoo had no working phones, McGill's wife, Rita, fielded 422 calls at the couple's home in Kendall. Reacting to appeals, other zoos started sending specialized foods for the animals, veterinarians offered their services, and many people donated chain saws to cut fallen trees. Zoos also delivered meat for the big cats and fish for the birds. An hour after McGill appealed on TV for refrigeration help, a man lent the zoo two large refrigerated trucks. "We've gotten such an overwhelming response to our requests," McGill says. "I don't know it I got more emotional over the tragedy of the loss or over the outpouring of support." Still, he says, "while we all love animals, we need to take care of people first. I don't want anyone to bring us water if it takes away from a family that needs it."
McGill is optimistic about the animals' welfare, citing the story about the workers who came across a tiny miracle in a dry moat. There lay a baby yellow-backed duiker, a small, now motherless antelope born during the storm and still alive. They promptly dubbed it Andrew. "In the midst of the destruction, here was this new life," says McGill. "It was like a ray of hope. And we knew as long as we didn't lose hope, we'd be okay."

Mojave 2007
I am an elementary teacher at Victoria Magathan Elementary School, in Adelanto (Southern California). I am currently participating in a Dual Language Immersion Program, which means that I am teaching my students mainly in Spanish.
This is my thirteenth year as a teacher, and during all this time I have worked with students from 3 to 18 years old, and also adults. But this is only my second year in this country. I am from Madrid, Spain, where I got my BA in Elementary Education, and my MA in English. I'm really enjoying my experience here, because it is very enriching, both personally and professionally. Actually, I came for only one year and the next one is going to be my third one here.
Personally, I like sports, nature, reading, painting, music, hanging out with friends on the weekends, and especially traveling as much as possible.
As a teacher, I like to give my students (and myself) the opportunity to learn things that won't be found in textbooks, things that won't be useful only to pass an exam. That's why I love project-based lessons so much, and that's why I'm so excited about this experience in the desert. I'm sure both they and I are going to take advantage of it.

Hi and welcome! I have lots of family in Switzerland and I love Lindt!
i was reading here for quite a while now and its time to get myself together and keep it up with a primal diet.
iam not new to this, i have pcos and when my doctor told me about 6 years ago i started a low carb diet. later i started to read more and more books about low carbing and paleo diets and its definitely the only way for me to loose weight and stay healthy. i suffer of a lots of food intolerances and iam always tired and sick if i eat a "normal" diet.
i used to live in the u.k. and found it much easyer to stick to my diet, but back in switzerland i struggle a lots. in the last few months iam soo tired and feel sick all the time, iam not even able to workout anymore... and i crave chocolate and carbs all day... it is really frustrating.
so its time to change all this! now! i choosed to start with a small step, as goal i want to go grain, sugar and diary free (except butter and full fat cream for my tea) for 7 weeks. i start monday 15.8 (after my holiday) till 1.10, thats when my dear fiancé has a photo exhibition and i want to look absolutly stunning in my baby blue 50s dress
...thanks for having me here and thanks mark for all the great and motivating work!

Welcome to MDA. Sounds like you have a plan. I am on day #4, and have already dropped 8.5 pounds.
Welcome Bettie. Post a picture of yourself successfully wearing that dress.

I design websites and blogs for a living. If you would like a blog or website designed by someone who understands Primal, see my web page.
Primal Blueprint Explorer My blog for people who are not into the Grok thing. Since starting the blog, I have moved close to being Archevore instead of Primal. But Mark's Daily Apple is still the best source of information about living an ancestral lifestyle.
Hi all, and thanks for the warm welcome!
Bratch, wow you are doing great, thats such a motivation!
Hedonist, thanks, i will do! oh and how strange, i was reading in your blog almost all afternoon, before i have seen your post ;-)
iam just back from a doctors appointment. i had some tests done because i believed to have sleep apnea. iam really tired all day, and i could just fall asleep 6/7pm everyday. but the doc says my sleep is pretty normal. so my last hope is really switch 99% to a primal diet and go back into my gym routine (weights only, i hate cardio!)
tomorrow i have a 3th job interview and hopefully i start my new job in october. this could really change my life in a good way. 2x 30min. walks to the office instead of a 3h trainjourney every day. and more free time, more holiday, more money and much more interesting work! *fingerscrossed*

News Picks : Magnetic levitation and rotation of nonmagnetic objects
BBC: Delicate nonmagnetic objects with arbitrary shapes are hard to manipulate. Now, Anand Bala Subramaniam of Harvard University and his colleagues have developed a way to suspend and rotate such objects. They placed them in a paramagnetic liquid inside a chamber with magnets above and below it. Because the liquid is attracted to the magnets, its density increases near the top and bottom of the chamber. The object "floats" in the less dense area in the middle. Subramaniam and his colleagues found that by rotating the magnets, or by introducing an external magnet and moving it around the chamber, they could rotate the object within the fluid. The team's next step is to attempt to manipulate multiple objects and assemble them into a single piece.

They're from the city's new red-light cameras.
Earlier this month, WESH 2 told you that 88 percent of the tickets given out since January were for right-on-red turns.
Under state law, drivers turning right on red in a "careful and prudent manner," should not be ticketed.

on September 12, 2011 - 12:01 AM
On Dec. 8, 1951, the day after the 10th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, the New York Times' front page made a one-paragraph mention of commemorations the day before, when the paper's page had not mentioned the anniversary. The Dec. 8 Washington Post's front page noted no commemorations the previous day. On Dec. 7, the page had featured a familiar 10-year-old photograph of the burning battleships. It seems to have been published because a new process made possible printing it for the first time in color. At the bottom of the page, a six-paragraph story began: "Greater Washington today will mark the tenth anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack by testing its air raid defenses."
The story explained that "the sirens are part of a 'paper bombing' of Washington" that would include "mock attacks by atom bombs and high explosives."
The most interesting question is not how America in 2011 is unlike America in 2001, but how it is unlike it was in 1951. The intensity of today's focus on the 10th anniversary of 9/1 1 testifies to more than the multiplication of media ravenous for content, and to more than today's unhistorical and self-dramatizing tendency to think that eruptions of evil are violations of a natural entitlement to happiness. It also represents the search for refuge from a decade defined by unsatisfactory responses to 9/1 1.
The 10th anniversary of 9/1 1 coincides with concerns about whether, after more than eight years of war, just 3,000 American troops can be left in Iraq without jeopardizing U.S. gains. Which, whatever they are, have nothing to do with the stated primary reason for the war -- eliminating weapons of mass destruction.
As the war in Afghanistan -- the most important immediate consequence of 9/1 1 -- enters its second decade, success there, too, is fragile. And it is defined with reference to a nation-building objective not articulated at the outset.
The depleted armed forces that have been fighting these wars for a nation not conscripted into any notable inconvenience will eventually recuperate. For mostly oblivious civilians, the only recurring and most visible reminder of the post- 9/1 1 world is shoeless participation in the security theater at airports. It thus seems wildly incongruous that some Americans rushed to proclaim that 9/1 1 "changed everything."
The dozen years between the fall of the Berlin Wall and of the Twin Towers featured complacent, self-congratulatory speculation about "the end of history." The end, that is, of a grand politics of clashes about fundamental questions of social organization. By the time 9/1 1 awakened the nation from such reveries, some Americans seemed to be suffering "1930s envy," a longing for the vast drama of global conflict with a huge ideological enemy.
Ten years on from 9/1 1, national unity, usually a compensation for the rigors of war, has been a casualty of wars of dubious choices. Ten years after 1941, and in more recent decades, the nation, having lost 400,000 in the unavoidable war that Pearl Harbor announced, preferred to remember more inspiriting dates, such as D-Day.
Today, for reasons having little to do with 9/1 1 and policy responses to it, the nation is more demoralized than at any time since the late 1970s, when, as now, feelings of impotence, vulnerability and decline were pervasive. Of all the sadness surrounding this anniversary, the most aching is the palpable and futile hope that commemoration can somehow help heal self-inflicted wounds.

The fact that Hussein turned out to be bluffing about WMD isn't a mark against Bush's decision. If you're a cop and a man pulls out a gun and points it at you, you're within your rights to shoot him, particularly if the man in question is a known criminal who's shot people before. If it turns out afterward that the gun wasn't loaded, that's not the cop's fault. Read it at the LA Times, it'll piss off Barbra Streisand.

The following is really long, and I apologize. Short version of my idea -- owners of teams that never make the playoffs should be forced to sell their teams at auction. For the truly committed, my proposed method of doing do is presented below. Some things need to be updated, but I do note that the teams that would have been auctioned off (the Bills, 49ers, Texans, Browns and Lions) would still be auctioned now, and the Rams would be joining them.
Here We Go:
I'm a pro football fan. Not a Fantasy League playing, Direct Ticket watching obsessive, season ticket holding obsessive, but a fan. I've been to regular season and playoff games, even a Superbowl, and most weekends I watch at least one game. On a scale of 1 (no interest, can't name more than two teams) to a 10 (at the game or in a sports bar, preferably a sports book in Vegas every weekend while being Commissioner of my fantasy league), I'd rate myself a solid 5, maybe even a 6.
What I hate is incompetence. In game incompetence -- stupid penalties, lousy play calling, killer turnovers, and bad clock management, is bad enough. What is even worse is on-going, franchise-wide incompetence. Repeated bad draft choices, poor trades, over-priced free agent pickups, and inexplicable coach/GM hiring and firing decisions that result in consistent losing year after year.
I think I have a solution to the latter problem. Make bad owners sell their teams. I know, that begs the question "what is bad?" My answer is easy. Bad is the opposite of good. Good in the NFL is winning, or even more narrowly, playoff success. Each year, 12 teams make the playoffs. With 32 teams, that gives each team a 37.5 percent chance of making the playoffs. A bad owner is an owner whose team consistently fails to make the playoffs.
Let's take the idea one step further by stealing an idea from the PGA Tour (on the 1 to 10 fan scale, peg me as an 8 or 9 for golf). Professional golfers earn eligibility to play on the PGA Tour through successful play. There are essentially three ways established professional players can continue to play on the PGA tour. Those in the top 125 in tour earnings are exempt to play for the following year (those between 126 and 150 on the money list can play in events whose fields are not full or who are given an exemption by a tournament's sponsor). Winners of tour events are exempt for two years. Winners of the four major championships or several other top events (e.g., the Players Championship) receive 5 year exemptions. Everyone else isn't safe and has to qualify in some other way.1 Exemptions also do not cumulate. For example, a player winning two tour events receives a two year exemption, not two two-year exemptions. Players also only get to use their best exemption. If a player wins a major championship one year and a regular tour event the following year, he must use the longest lasting exemption (in this case, the four remaining years from his 5 year major event exemption).
I propose a similar system, modestly entitled the "Coleman System" for the NFL. Exemptions are earned as follows:
All playoff teams receive a 4 year exemption
Teams reaching the divisional playoffs either by winning a playoff game during wild card weekend or earning a bye receive a 5 year exemption
The four teams reaching the conference championship games receive 6 year exemptions
The two Super Bowl teams receive 8 year exemptions
The winner of the Super Bowl receives a 10 year exemption
Like the PGA tour, exemptions do not cumulate, and each owner can only use his or her best exemption. Owners that run out of exemptions will be forced to sell their teams to a new owner selected from a set of qualified bidders vetted by the NFL League Office in a secret auction -- highest bidder wins.
How do current teams stack up? I have gone back ten years (starting with the 1999-2000 season) to determine exemptions in each year, and then determined how years remain for each each team/owner's longest exemption. I only need to go back 10 years because all exemptions that are more than 10 years old expire (even the 10 year Super Bowl winner exemptions).
The following teams have exemptions of 6 years or more (the current 2009-10 season using up one exemption year):
Arizona Cardinals -- sorry to fellow Bidwell detractors, but they did earn an 8 year exemption for reaching the Super Bowl last year
Baltimore Ravens -- reached the 2008 AFC Conference Championship game
Chicago Bears -- six remaining years from reaching Super Bowl XLI
Indianapolis Colts -- eight years left from winning Super Bowl XLI
New England Patriots -- take your pick -- seven years remain from the Super Bowl XXXIX win or reaching Super Bowl XLII
New York Giants -- have nine years left for their Super Bowl XLII win
Philadelphia Eagles -- six years for reaching the 2008-09 NFC Championship game
Pittsburgh Steelers -- have the 10 year exemption for their Super Bowl XLIII win
The only big surprise here is the Arizona Cardinals. All the other teams with six year+ exemptions are elite teams, with the possible exception of the Chicago Bears. More on that later.
Here is the list of teams with no exemptions left (these teams would have been up for auction before the 2009-10 season started):
Buffalo Bills -- Ralph Wilson may be a great guy, but the Jim Kelly/Thurman Thomas/Andre Reed/Bruce Smith glory days are long gone
Cleveland Browns -- Version 2.0 under Al Lerner has been a disaster
Detroit Lions -- I don't have the heart for a cheap shot here
Houston Texans -- I toyed with granting expansion teams an 8 year exemption -- this would be their last year
San Francisco 49ers -- the Raiders get all the bad Bay Area press, but the Niners recent playoff history is even worse -- Al Davis and the boys still have two years left from the eight year exemption they earned by reaching Super Bowl XXXVII
Two other teams are on life support with exemptions due to expire at the end of the year -- the Cincinnati Bengals (who look likely to earn a exemption) and the St. Louis Rams (who are probably only a few weeks away from being eliminated from the playoffs and any more exemptions).
Finally, I would give owners of teams that lost their exemptions a five year exemption to give them time to rebuild (and perhaps eight year exemptions to owners of any new expansion teams).
How would my system work out? I don't know. I suspect owners with expiring exemptions might shape up. Egomaniacs like Jerry Jones (the Cowboys have a four years left for earning a bye in the 2007-08 playoffs) and Daniel Snyder (three years remain for earning a wild card spot after the 2007-08 season) might actually turn their teams over to strong and independent GMs and coaches. The pressure on cheapskate owners with cap space to retain their best players and acquire new talent in the draft or through free agency would be intense. We might even see more player movement at the trade deadline or more old-fashioned trades in the off-season. I'm guessing most fans would like this, or at least find it entertaining.
I see two potential downsides. The first is collusion and outright cheating. Teams either with safe playoff spots and seedings or teams with no chance of reaching the playoffs might tank games to help teams with short or expiring exemptions to reach the playoffs. Hopefully, such instances would be rare. I have a hard time seeing a team tank a game to save a traditional hated rival. With luck, allegations of tanking would be no more common than now, where teams assured of their playoff positions rest players down the stretch, or when lousy teams start thinking about their draft positions.
The second downside is revolving ownership. In the current rough economy, there are .only so many billionaire sports fans to serve as new team owners. Just like mediocre or poor choices get second and even third chances to coach teams (do the names Norv Turner and Eric Mangini ring any bells), an owner forced to sell a team might turn around and buy another team at one of these forced auctions. An Admittedly scary prospect, but all hope is not lost. One solution would be an outright ban on owners who were forced to sell one team from buying another. A less severe rule would be a waiting period -- maybe three to five years, for owners who were forced to sell have to meet before becoming qualified bidders for new teams. The NFL could also relax its rules on partnership groups, allow corporate owners, or go the Green Bay route and allow a team's fans to buy shares in a team. Let the lawyers and accountants earn their money and figure out a compromise here.
Is my system fair? I think it is. Owners fire coaches and GMs that don't perform. Underperforming players get cut or traded. I see no reason owners should be exempt from performance standards.
One niggling concern that occurred to me and may have occurred to you are teams with a long history of success hitting a rough patch. Who wants to see a team that reached the playoffs four or five years in a row lose their exemption by missing the playoffs for the next four or five years. How often does this happen? One answer to this question is to go back to the ten year period (1999-2000 to 2008-09) that is the subject of this article. In any year, there are 66 total years of exemptions available:
4*4 years for the losers of the Wild Card Round
4*5 years for the losers in the Divisional Playoffs
2*6 years for the two Conference Championship game losers
1*8 years for the Super Bowl loser
1*10 years for the Super Bowl winner
or 16 + 20 + 12 + 8 +10 = 66 exemption years for each year's playoffs. Over 10 years, there are 10*66 = 660 exemption years NFL teams can earn. Divided across the 32 teams (31 for 1999-2000 to 2001-02), the average number of exemption years teams could earn for the 10 years is 20.8 exemption years. "Above average" teams earn 21 or more exemption years each decade, and "Below average" teams earn 20 or fewer exemption years.
The following are the above average teams (21+ exemption years):
New England Patriots -- 49 exemption years
Indianapolis Colts -- 48 exemption years
Philadelphia Eagles -- 42 exemption years
Pittsburgh Steelers -- 41 exemption years
New York Giants -- 35 exemption years
Tennessee Titans -- 33 exemption years
Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- 32 exemption years
St. Louis Rams -- 32 exemption years
Baltimore Ravens -- 30 exemption years
Seattle Seahawks -- 30 exemption years
Carolina Panthers -- 23 exemption years
Three other teams -- the Packers, Vikings, and Chargers -- just miss the 21+ threshold with 20 exemption years each. The top six teams in exemptions years (the Patriots, Colts, Eagles, Steelers, Giants, and Titans) earned a total of 248 of the 660 possible exemption years for the past decade (37.6 percent).2 These same top six exemption year earners for the past decade each have a minimum current exemption of five years. Of all 11 above average exemption year earners for the past decade, only one (St. Louis) has an exemption expiring after this year. Everyone else has at least a four year exemption.
So with the one exception of St. Louis, there are no above average exemption year earners over the past decade in danger of losing their exemption to continue playing under their current owners. I'm okay with an owner/team being given a one-time four year exemption if the team earned 30 or more exemption years in the past decade. So St. Louis has four years after this year to turn things around. Problem solved.
I leave it up to others to come up with an test similar systems for other sports. Having an average of around two exemption years per team available for each year feels about right (the Coleman System for the NFL -- 66 exemption years for 32 teams equals an average of 2.06 exemption years per team). Leagues with more playoff teams like the 16 available in the NBA and NHL would earn shorter playoff exemptions. One system that might work for the NBA and NHL would award 3 three year exemptions to first round losers, 4 year exemptions to second round losers, 5 year exemptions to losers in the conference championship, six years to the Finals loser, and an 8 year exemption for the champion (that would be 64 exemption exemptions each year for the 30 teams, and average of 2.13 exemption years per team -- trust me). The issue could be revisited if teams fold or contract.
Baseball is harder. With eight teams making it each year, seven year exemptions for first round losers, eight years for League Championship series losers, nine years for the World Series loser and 10 years for the World Series winner would be one option (63 exemption years across the 30 years would yield 2.10 exemption years per team). I see two problems. First, the spread between a first round loser (seven years) and a World Series winner (10 years) is only three years. I'd like to see a system with a larger range of awards, but I don't want to see champions get more than a 10 year exemption. The second problem would be the 16 National League teams bitching that the 14 American League teams have it easier.
I see a way around each problem. With the thousands of baseball statistical geeks out there, someone should be able to come up with a solution to widening the exemption year range without exceeding ten years for the World Series Champion. Another option would be to expand the playoffs -- more teams means fewer exemption years for early round losers. With regards to the National League/American League problem -- re-alignment. Pick one National League Central Division team (say the Pirates or Reds), and stick them in the American League Central. Two leagues with six divisions of five teams each -- all with equal chances to earn exemptions. If the Pirates or Reds balk at moving -- force another auction, or more mildly, point out that large market teams, especially large market American League teams (Yankees and Red Sox, anyone) have been carrying you guys for years between the luxury tax/revenue sharing and by having their fans show up in your stadiums to watch their teams play.

I think you put too much emphasis on post-season success, when it's largely luck based. Also, what about teams like the 2005 Chiefs who missed the playoffs with a 10-6 record, or the 08 Patriots who missed with an 11-5 record?

Maui Land & Pineapple Co. CEO David Cole's compensation package for 2007 included more than $1.5 million in cash and $1.4 million in stocks.
Including stock options, Cole's total package was worth about $4.1 million, according to a proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. That made him the second-highest-paid executive among the eight largest companies in Hawaii after Allen Doane of Alexander & Baldwin Inc., with $8.6 million.
It was also the largest compensation package Cole has received during his five years at ML&P, compared to a package worth $1.6 million in 2006.
Cole's pay in 2007 was boosted by a one-time $1 million payment to compensate him for a loss of value in stock options when the exercise price was raised to comply with a new IRS rule.
Cole's pay was based on performance measures, including meeting a "net income threshold" and achieving specific "value accelerator transactions."
The company made an $8 million profit in 2007, which did not meet the "net income threshold." But Cole did achieve two out of seven "value accelerator transactions," according to the proxy statement.
Walter Dods, chairman of the board of directors' compensation committee, cited two actions.
One was the company's success in raising $15 million through a private placement of stock with companies owned by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar and former AOL executive Miles Gilburne. Since the investment was made without intermediaries, the company saved on investment banking fees, Dods noted.
Cole's second achievement was a "joint venture with a global luxury brand." The deal, which the company has not announced, "has the potential to vastly increase shareholder value," Dods said.
Cole received a bonus of 16,000 shares worth $500,000 for accomplishing the two deals, Dods said.
He noted that other factors affected Cole's compensation, including receiving a bonus early in 2007 for the company's financial performance in 2006.
Cole called his compensation "relatively small," and noted that much of it is in stock options that he has not exercised. The company's current stock price is well below the exercise price on his options.
Cole also noted that he had to forfeit 30 percent of his stock awards because he had not met certain performance goals.
"At the end of the day, the cash involved is not that large," he said.
Other ML&P executive pay packages for 2007 included:
* CFO Robert Webber: $381,538 cash, $278,642 in stocks and $133,546 in stock options.
* Vice President/Treasurer Fred Rickert: $195,000 cash, $294,687 in stocks and $60,953 in stock options.
* Senior Vice President Ryan Churchill: $240,000 cash, $158,650 in stocks and $45,115 in stock options.
* Maui Pine General Manager Gerard Watts: $209,423 cash, $95,660 in stocks and $56,154 in stock options. Watts left the company earlier this year.
* Executive Vice President for Community Development Bob McNatt: $319,208 cash, $261,029 in stock options. McNatt left the company at the end of 2007.
Kahului stock analyst Irwin Yamamoto said Cole's stock-heavy compensation plan was "very typical" for a CEO of a public company.
The plan is meant as an incentive for the CEO to increase the value of the company, because he would benefit as the stock price goes up. But it can also have negative consequences, he said.
"It shouldn't be, but it's based on short-term moves," he said. "Get the earnings up fast, no matter if it's good for long term."
Former ML&P Board Member Claire Sanford said the company had previously rewarded executives with stock, but nothing close to the amount Cole received.
She said when Cole arrived, the former AOL executive said he thought his base salary of $450,000 was "low," and asked for what she considered a "ridiculous" number of shares.
"I felt what was being asked was just obscene," Sanford said. "I felt it was not in the best interest of the company."
Sanford thought it was wrong that Cole would get such a large stake in the company so quickly, when people who'd been with ML&P for decades didn't have the same opportunity. She questioned why he needed such generous incentives.
"I had watched a group of people work really hard for Maui Pine who didn't have those same incentives, and I think they'd worked as hard as they could," she said.

Leifsdottir Ruched Neck Jersey Top
(Nordstrom Style# 273605)
(Nordstrom Style# 273605)
I thought this top would be a great layering piece, and usually Leifsdottir uses the best of materials. But the reality is most girls will find that the sleeves are actually huge and the collar is too wide to be flattering. Also the material was very thin, though if that were the only issue I'd probably be willing to just layer a cami underneath to solve it.
Verdict: The clown look wasn't cool. I returned mine. Most likely you will too.

GOODRICH, Michigan — Goodrich officials are looking to conduct an implement an independent study to hopefully save some money.
Council President Patty Wartella has said the study — which likely will cost about $15,000 — will let the village know if there are any areas where it needs to cut spending or where it can eliminate expenditures.
