Cast, writing keep Peninsula Players' 'Tin Woman' compelling
Fish Creek — A miserable old man sits in a chair at center stage, opening his thermos and pouring coffee as though it's a chore, before gulping it down rather than savoring its taste. A thirtysomething woman wakes up in a hospital bed at stage right, only to pump herself full of morphine so that she can forget she's still alive.
That's how things begin in Sean Grennan's "The Tin Woman," a heartwarming comedy — yes, you read that correctly — receiving its world premiere at Peninsula Players Theatre in Door County. But there will be tears accompanying the laughter, as we watch the loved ones surrounding these two wounded, flatlining souls try to quicken their pulse. »Read Full Article

Introducing a new series
The word punk is usually rolled out somewhere in any capsule description of Patti Smith. But she is the only rocker I can think of who's won a National Book Award, been honored by the French Ministry of Culture and has reviewed Haruki Murakami in the New York Times Book Review. Can someone really both be a punk and so decorated by the gatekeepers of culture?
In Smith's case, yes. She may not have lived as far "outside society" as she suggests in one of her songs, but she has followed her own star through a lifetime of music, poetry and art. At 67, Smith more than merits the godmother status that younger performers and listeners have bestowed on her. »Read Full Article

Blogs Cliopatria Back from the Grave and Ready to PartyJun 3, 2010 6:03 pm
Back from the Grave and Ready to Party
The new blog Marxist Marginalia has a perceptive short discussion of Bryan Palmer's James P. Cannon and the Origins of the American Revolutionary Left, 1890-1928, the first of two volumes on an important but neglected figure. So little work has been done on the first decade of the American Communist movement that it would be nice to think the book will inspire imitators.
The blog post begins to think about connections between Palmer's book and the development of Marxist thinking on the African-American struggle. The blogger (a graduate student whose name isn't given so far as I can see) includes four scanned articles by Robert Minor -- only one of which is to be found in the collection Philip Foner and James Allen edited, American Communism and Black Americans: A Documentary History, 1919-1929. This is an encouraging sign.
Last year I spent some time talking with people in the marketing department for the University of Illinois Press making the case for why this book, of all things, should be made available in paperback in a timely manner -- as happily it now is, if not exactly in a cheap edition. And this, too, is encouraging. Just because something is specialized doesn't mean its interest is necessarily confined to specialists. A two-volume biography of James P. Cannon isn't going to climb any best-seller list but I would guess there are at least a few thousand people who will want to read it.
By the way, Palmer himself has a review-essay on the recent (and considerably less satisfying) biography of Ernst Mandel. Apart from touching on various topics that will be central to Palmer's account of the second part of Cannon's life, this essay is of interest for its reflections on the issues involved in writing the biography of such a figure. It also refers to"the species academicus supercilious," an expression that made at least one reader laugh out loud.

Here's a familiar story
'Canes season went much like Badgers'
Orlando, Fla. — Miami's 2009 football résumé has one achievement lacking on Wisconsin's:
A victory over a ranked foe.
The No. 14 Hurricanes (9-3), who face No. 24 UW (9-3) at 7 p.m. (Milwaukee time) Tuesday night in the Champs Sports Bowl, are 3-1 against ranked teams this season.
They beat then-No. 18 Florida State in the season opener, snapped a four-game losing streak against then-No. 14 Georgia Tech in Week 2 and edged then-No. 8 Oklahoma in Week 4. The loss came at then-No. 11 Virginia Tech in Week 3.
UW's record against ranked teams is 0-2, with consecutive losses to Ohio State and Iowa that all but eliminated the Badgers from contention for the Big Ten Conference title.
Yet digging beneath the surface reveals Miami's season has played out much like UW's: good but not great, thanks to three losses that varied from ugly to maddening.
The Hurricanes' 33-24 loss at North Carolina was similar to the Badgers' loss at Ohio State. Miami outgained the Tar Heels, 435-329, but quarterback Jacory Harris threw four interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns.
"He'll have his games when he has his turnovers, which is unacceptable," Miami coach Randy Shannon said of Harris, a sophomore who has 17 interceptions, though none in the last two games. "He understands those things.
"It comes from youngness . . . from relying on his receivers to make plays. And our receivers do make plays. But there comes a point in time that you can't rely on those guys to keep making big-time catches with three guys draped over them.
"You've got to take the tight ends or the running backs, which he has been doing a great job of the last two games."
After suffering a 40-37 overtime loss to visiting Clemson in Week 7, the Miami players believed they allowed victory to elude their grasp. It was the same feeling UW experienced after blowing an early lead against Iowa before falling, 20-10.
Miami held seven leads against Clemson. The Hurricanes allowed the Tigers to drive 47 yards in 10 plays, thanks to conversions on third and fourth down, to kick the tying field goal with five seconds left in regulation.
Then in the overtime, the Hurricanes settled for field goal after moving to a first and goal at the Clemson 6 and then allowed a 26-yard touchdown pass on third and 11.
"We fought so hard throughout the game and we didn't come out with a victory," said Harris, who threw three interceptions to account for three-fourths of the Hurricanes' turnovers. "We let Clemson outwork us and we turned the ball over too much."
The 31-7 loss at Virginia Tech was plain ugly because the Hurricanes were outplayed early and never recovered.
Miami surrendered 272 rushing yards, allowed a blocked punt for a touchdown and turned the ball over twice.
"They did a very nice job of executing what they wanted to get done offensively and defensively," Shannon said. "I told the players on the team, the last four out of five times that we've played Virginia Tech (that) whoever can stop the run and whoever doesn't turn the football over, that's usually who wins the game.
"They ran the football, we did not stop the run (and) we had turnovers."
UW rebounded from a galling 33-31 loss at Northwestern by crushing Hawaii to open the door for a 10-victory season.
Miami rebounded from the North Carolina loss to beat Duke and South Florida by a combined 39 points.
"The one thing about this team is that they learn from their mistakes," Shannon said. "When you have a team that understands those things and don't dwell on it, you can rebound quickly. And that is what they did."
The Hurricanes enter the bowl game with a chance to win at least 10 games for the first time since 2003.
"We need this win to solidify our team as a top-10 program and top-5 program going into next year," senior strong safety Randy Phillips told reporters Wednesday after the Hurricanes' final practice on campus. "We're ready to show the world that coming into next year we're going to be a great team.'"

In 2011 local businesses had approached Darlington Borough Council for guidance on their corporate social responsibility activity in relation to the community need of Darlington.
To meet the growing need, Darlington Cares was established in October 2012 as an employee supported volunteering and corporate social responsibility programme (CSR), offering a coordinated approach to CSR whilst supporting key areas of need in Darlington, such as, youth employability, poverty and community engagement.
The project works by centrally coordinating the skills, expertise, knowledge and resources of over 20 member businesses and their employees, and unites them to projects, community groups and local charities where they can have the most impact.
To date, we have nearly completed 10,000 hours of employee supported volunteering in less than three years, over 75 successful projects including, helping out schools, community groups, charities and young people.
Projects are delivered in a variety of ways including hands on community challenges, skills led projects, donation campaigns and a volunteering reading scheme based in schools.
Located at Teesside University's The Forge campus in Darlington, we are funded through a combination of public and private sector membership fees and grant funding.

Milwaukee designer Bree Rose puts blankets to good use
It's that time of the year when we're running for cover, huddling beneath the bright geometric shapes that have been knitted or crocheted by our matriarchs (and the occasional patriarch) and tucked into trunks and closets.
How great would it be if the blankets that keep us cozy on cold days could go with us out in to the world? Is there such a thing as comfy, cuddly couture? »Read Full Article

Eric Morel To Return at 118-pounds, Likely in August
By Rey Colon
Eric Morel (46-3, 23 KO's), coming off last Saturday's unanimous decision loss to undefeated Abner Mares, who fought for the vacant WBC super bantamweight championship, has been offered a ring return on a date in August. Eric plans to return to 118 pounds, according to his coach and father Cyril.
"Although we lost, Golden Boy Promotions liked the show and offered Eric a fight in August. And in that same month, Anselmo 'Chemito' Moreno, the WBA bantamweight champion, will also fight. We will stay at 118 pounds and hope to get another title fight. Eric showed that he still has a lot of gas in the tank," Cyril said.
he's@ he point, up or down he won't get a belt as @ 118 he can't beaat Yamanka or Moreno...a few $$ bouts & he shold be done...Comment by Evil Abed on 04-25-2012

The reign of William IV is often seen as an appendage to the Georgian and Regency eras, before the long and distinctive Victorian period. On the other hand, many of the pieces of legislation that shaped the Victorian period were passed during the seven-year reign of Victoria's uncle. William himself had never expected to become king. As the third son of George III, he only became heir apparent in 1817, after the death of the Prince Regent's only daughter in childbirth. The succession crisis this caused could most straightforwardly be solved, in Parliament's eyes, if William gave up his long-term mistress, the actress Mrs Jordan, and married a princess with whom he could produce legitimate heirs. He acquiesced in their proposals (…

Skip to comments.FLASH - Fidel Castro is DEAD (Unconfirmed, perhaps he's just pining for the fjords)
Posted on 12/28/2011 7:22:52 AM PST by mkleesma
Buddy of mine just heard it on a Dominican radio station Can anyone confirm this?
Feast of Fools
[ Personally, I'll miss Cheetah a lot more. :-) ]
Cheetah was a good chimp, never ripped off anyone's face/arms or any other body parts...
Dictatorial countries require people to show up as mourners. It is their way of showing how great their dead dictator was.
The same will happen when Chavez dies, when Castro dies, etc.
I did ask the question about Fidel on Twitter.. I hope for some confirmation shortly..
Kim Il Sung's death was a blow to him he just couldn't take. Has anybody seen Barbara Walters? She be unconsolable.
He's dead, nope, he's alive.
He's dead, nope, he's alive.
He's dead, finally.
Reports coming in from several different locations and reports (more than one report), according to source multiple reports, though all could be fool's game according to source. Still monitoring.
Can you elaborate on your post? You have seen reports coming in, or you have heard that multiple reports have come in? Specifics? thanks.
Report on web names Pundit Press and see there is a blogmiami on Main Page. All are monitoring ... all state no confirmation.
one can hope that Fidel and Kim are merrily roasting in hell right now.... forever
meanwhile their countries remain mired in desperate squalor and poverty, demented oppression, and chokehold military dictatorships....
Me too. Wired all our copper window screens up, and could pull in Radio Albania (at the time the "voice' of the chicoms). The hallicrafters are still around in places- you gotta look, and have some tubes handy.
I remember Radio Albania, and also the familiar faux-Midwestern news anchor voices at Radio Moscow, pitching the latest agriculture report, telling of America's latest setback in Vietnam, or introducing the evening Jazz program. But back in the good old days of the Cold War, there was nothing quite like Radio Tirana: it was like taking a graduate class in Propaganda 101. I suspect Obama has the old air check tapes in a drawer somewhere.
Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Hussein Obama is going to try to take the credit for this one too.
He's got to shore up the Cuban refugee vote.
Oh, no — not again!
Must have gotten jealous of seeing all the "heart-felt" weeping in North Korea over their Dear Leader's demise.
Thanks for the truth.
I wonder how many Americans fall for the staging?
That is why I have kept every Ham radio I ever owned someday soon they will be worth more than gold. I still listen to a lot of this even today.
A lot of people didnt know a lot more came over those carriers than just voice and music, like pictures and even slow scan TV.
That will be the best gift to the long suffering Cuban People. The Commies will limp along for a while but—its doomed—soon we can all go to Habana and enjoy the Copacabana! Cuba Libre!
2011 has been a bad year for commies and dictators.
2011 has been a bad year for commies and dictators.
LOL, brilliant! If I wasnt at work I'd try to piece together a "Hell looks a lot like Cuba" pic, a la Bon Jovi.
No one where I am knows this and we have it BEFORE CNN...!
Why watch news anywhere else EVAR...?!
is it on CNN now?
If true BO will take credit for killing him.
checking Twitter (for the record I never wish death on anybody)
They do come in threes though
On Tweet by @joelpollak says:
"Internet rumor, psbl false alarm, too good to check? Aprntly Dominican rdio reports Fidel Castro dead acc. to Cuban foreign ministry source?"
Radio Havana's website seems very slow to update. I wouldn't depend on it.
According to several different radio and news reports, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro is dead. However, Pundit Press has not been able to independently verify these reports.
With Castro's advanced age, it is not out of the realm of possibilities that he has died. Yet, with exuberance over the death of Kim Jong Il, it is possible that reports of Castro's death could have been made up.
We will continue to monitor the situation.
Maybe Jimmy Carter will follow Hugo?
It'll be an idiot quintfecta this year if Fidel goes too.
Strange how this year is shaping up. All the old time tyrants and terrible leaders are dropping this year, including maybe Putin.
I don't know if anyone posted anything on this yet—I didn't check all the posts. But "El Día de los Santos Inocentes" (today, Dec 28th) apparently is the Latin equivalent of our April Fool's Day.
"The 28th of December is "Innocents' Day" [in Spanish "El Día de los Santos Inocentes"], similar in spirit to the American April Fools' Day. On this day, people play "inocentadas" (pranks or practical jokes) on friends and relatives: people make jokes hoping that the victim believes the false thing. When people get caught, the joker says: "Inocente, inocente!" ("Innocent, innocent!"). The newspapers and other media are in on the joke as well, reporting false news for the people to figure out. ..."
La Prensa de Cuba, Granma, Radio Habana, all nada.
Probably false alarm.
Also, informed sources in Miami will know long before it is officially announced.
You're not. Many made the same wish for him the last time he died.
Oh brother, here we go again...
I'll believe it when Dr. McCoy grips his wrist, peers at the tricorder, and looks up with that serious look on his face, "He's dead, Jim."
There apparently have been several reports of Castro's death in recent years. Nothing has been confirmed.
Best radio ad, ever. :)
My father gave me a cigarette sized shortwave radio for Christmas and I was tuning around and heard Radio Habana Cuba. I got a big kick about their description of the Isle of Youth how it was renamed from the Isle of Pines. They said it was discovered by Christopher Columbus but they backtracked to the PC story of where the Indians were there first so Columbus did not really discover it. I just busted out laughing and shook my head on how they tiptoe the PC line. I keep firing up one of several SW radios I have to see if Castro is still here or went to his final reward.
I made an Obama version of this somewhere. BTW, heard Radio Habana Cuba many times. They were even on the AM band for a while and sometimes they would "walk over" WTAM (then WWWE) on 1100 kc in Cleveland (I'm near Pittsburgh). Every once in a while when I cannot pick up "Coast to Coast AM" on 104.7 FM (Quinn and Rose's flagship station), I go to 570, WKBN out of Youngstown, OH and I hear "Radio Reloj" (Radio Clock, like Cuba's version of CNN that broadcasts "RR" in CW (.-. .-.) in the background. In winter, sometimes they would "walk over" WKBN.

Alumni from our MSc/MRes in Biomedical and Molecular Sciences Research have been very successful in securing UK or international PhD positions after graduation. The vast majority have remained in Science or enrolled on a PhD, medical or dental programme. This is largely due to the extended experimental research project in world-leading research laboratories. Our external examiner noted that "This MSc course provides an ideal training for biomedical students hoping to pursue a career in research and sets a gold standard nationally in this area".
The Biomedical and Molecular Sciences Research MSc has lived up to my expectations and gone beyond them. I have learnt a lot, not only from planning and doing my own experiments but also in all the lab meetings and centre's seminars.
The MSc in Biomedical and Molecular Sciences Research was everything I hoped it would be - I can confidently say that this course has made me a far better and more well-rounded student and without it I doubt I would be going on to start my PhD.
The Biomedical and Molecular Sciences Research MSc allowed me to realise my full potential and I am certain that everyone on this course benefitted in some way from the wonderful teaching environment.
"The BMSR course is an absolutely great opportunity to expand your knowledge and experience in a range of scientific fields. It provides the ideal environment to hone one's skills in the laboratory surrounded by excellent and experienced staff who are leading researchers in their field."
"I have gained new theoretical knowledge about biomedical research through the lectures and tutorials, and the practical aspects of the course have enabled me to develop my laboratory skills further. I am now much more confident when working in a research laboratory."
"I gained insight into a broad variety of scientific subjects, not only regarding theoretical knowledge, but also practical work. I experienced amazing teaching on this course with well-chosen and organised modules. All this contributed to the awesome time I've had at King's over the past year."
Gladio Joel Giannitelli
"King's has repaid all my wishes and expectations, as I have been immersed in a stimulating, enthusiastic and positively challenging environment. The highlight is the six-month research project, where you can dive into laboratory life, working with a supervisor and a team of scientists."
"The best part was the 6 month research project where I devised my own experiments and became progressively independent in the lab. This course has provided me with skills and experience I need to pursue a career in research and I would definitely recommend it."
"The quality of teaching has been extraordinary, and students can expect excellent support and professional guidance throughout the course. The MSc at King's has been a deeply rewarding experience, enabling me to develop in a personal capacity and further enhancing my scientific and professional skills."
"The programme provides a lot of practical knowledge. There is ample help and guidance available from the professors who are always ready to help. The coursework, despite being intense, helps a lot in terms of practice and acquiring new skills."
"The MSc propelled me into the world of the most advanced technologies. The supervision and guidance from the course coordinators and the support I received from my project supervisor was the highlight of the MSc course - their scientific aptitude and rigorous scholarship was inspirational!"

Dunbar's parents lived at Strood near Rochester in Kent and this picture is a record of their garden. Between 1929 and 1933 the artist attended Rochester Art School, Chelsea School of Art and the Royal College of Art in London and remembered that this painting was begun before arriving in London as an art student and finished off around 1937. In that same year Dunbar wrote and illustrated the book 'Gardeners' Choice', along with the painter Charles Mahoney, who had been her teacher at the Royal College. Dunbar also executed murals at Brockley School, near Lewisham in the mid 1930s and was an Official War Artist during the Second World War.

Tribute to Nelson Mandela and His Legacy
January 29, 2014
Wednesday. January 29, 2014, at 6:30pm
New York City Bar Association
42 W 44th St
New York, NY 10036
The New York City Bar's Committee on African Affairs is hosting a tribute to Nelson Mandela and a discussion of his legacy, with a presentation by Advocate Tembile Joyini, Legal Advisor to the Mission of South Africa to the United Nations.
A hero has passed. Nelson Mandela was the father of South African democracy, which he created by leading the struggle for justice with fortitude and a commitment to equal rights for all. During his presidency, the South African Constitution, one of the most progressive documents of its kind, was adopted, as were other laws protecting fundamental rights.
This program seeks to both honor Madiba's accomplishments, and also reflect on the legacy of his achievements now that his successors govern. Experts on economics, business and human rights will join the discussion to consider how Mandela's hopes for a "Rainbow Nation" have been realized.

Ambience: III Forks has a sophisticated setting, with dark woods, vaulted ceilings and glass-enclosed wine rooms showcasing 1,500 bottles, from a $28 Chateau St. Michelle reisling to a $1,900 Screaming Eagle cabernet. The sprawling space, which opened Feb. 11, is divided into five dining rooms, a patio and bar. The coziest might be the Legends Room, with beaded chandeliers and black-and-white photos of icons like President Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra.

International Crisis Group
The International Crisis Group is a private agency which attempts to improve the response to international disasters by working out a strategy and providing detailed recommendations to policymakers. Their website is full of reports on crises around the world; here's what they have to say about Darfur, Afghanistan, Iraq, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, Islamism. For the rationale behind the ICG, see William Shawcross's tribute to humanitarian aid worker Fred Cuny, who disappeared in Chechnya.
Do-it-yourself terrorism
Why terror financing is so tough to track down. "Five years ago, we had large movement of funds which went through the international financial system. ... Now we are just talking about four friends who raise £1,000 to stage an attack. The unit cost of terrorist financing has crashed to the floor." WINEP dissents.

Breaking into the computers of a sewage plant
"[Vitek] Boden had waged a three-month war against the Scada (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system of Maroochy Water Services in Australia beginning in January 2000, which saw millions of gallons of sewage spill into waterways, hotel grounds and canals around the Sunshine Coast suburb." A 2002 Washington Post story on possible al-Qaeda attacks also mentions the Boden case: "Specialists in cyber-terrorism have studied Boden's case because it is the only one known in which someone used a digital control system deliberately to cause harm."

Workers at Middleton Site to be Protected
MADISON, Wis. -- The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), through its Madison, Wis. Area Office, has entered into a partnership with Kraemer Brothers Construction and RED Development to ensure the safety and health of current and future workers at the shopping center complex currently under construction in Middleton, Wis.
Joining in the partnership covering workers at the Deming Way-Greenway Cross construction site are the Wisconsin Safety and Health Consultation Services. More than 400 workers will be employed during the months the project is under construction.
"This partnership will help improve safety and health for workers at all levels," said OSHA Area Director Kimberly Stille, Madison. "It demonstrates OSHA's commitment to work cooperatively with employers and employee representatives who make every effort to eliminate hazards and reduce injuries." Kraemer Brothers recently received an award for safety excellence from the Wisconsin Associated Builders and Contractors.
Under the terms of the partnership, contractors must meet stringent safety guidelines that include: maintaining a site-specific safety and health program that ensures employee involvement; providing all new employees a comprehensive safety orientation, and providing training for employees on hazards and regulations applicable to their work, prior to commencing work as well as weekly tool box talks. Additionally, the NIOSH Fall Safe Program will be implemented by Kraemer Brothers and referrals to the State Health Consultation Service will be made when the potential for health issues such as carbon monoxide, silica, or large-scale use of chemicals in the building interior arise.
In return for meeting these criteria, OSHA will not target the job site for planned or programmed inspections. One announced inspection of the work site would be conducted by OSHA during the course of the construction project, which is expected to last one year. OSHA will still conduct inspections in response to reports of imminent danger, a fatality or catastrophic accident.
OSHA's Madison Area Office can be reached at (608) 441-5388 and Information on OSHA's safety and health standards is available at the agency's web site at www.osha.gov.
The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format upon request (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office. Please specify which news release when placing your request. Call (202) 693-7773 or TTY (202)693-7755.
