First Contact
A freelance figure model seeking paying artistic nude assignments should use the same techniques as models in the fashion world, especially promotion techniques, in order to make first contact with photographers.
Any model seeking new assignments will be expected to promote and market herself just as a professional agencies' models are marketed. This includes sending out a composite card, a follow up phone call and sending a portfolio of images that will help book the assignment.
A good solid reference book on modeling is The Professional Model's Handbook by Linda A. Balhorn. Applying the ideas and concepts will not guarantee work but will place you heads above the rest in most photographer's minds.
When an assignment is accepted by a photographer, he will begin gathering the items needed to create the image. Part of his task involves model selection for the assignment. Factors that go into this decision may include type of model needed (fashion or glamour type?), physical characteristics such as hair color or height, and ethnicity can play a part as well.
A commercial assignment can also involve someone else making the final decision on model selection. A model's composite card and portfolio are crucial at this step in securing the assignment. Additional assignments can come from working with photographers on their personal projects. For those types of assignments, you will be expected to first e-mail the photographer before expending time and money mailing cards or phoning.If you have never worked with the photographer before then making a good first impression is crucial. Your first e-mail should state why you are emailing, what type of assignment you are seeking, where you are located, who you are and when you are free to shoot. Each photographer may have many projects in progress so explaining what you are interested in helps greatly. Two other important items are an e-composite card and a working e-mail address. The next step is to wait for a reply.
Don't expect an immediate reply as there may not be a rush to shoot or other things may have to be set in motion. If no reply is received in two weeks do a follow-up e-mail with the same information but with a different e-composite card. If still no reply after seven days, place the photographer on your mailing list for possible future bookings then move on to the next thing on your to-do list.
When you are hired to pose for a project, get as much information as you possibly can before the day of the shoot. Try to view previous images that the photographer has created to gain a better insight of the project and to prepare yourself. You should get enough information to physically and mentally prepare yourself for the shoot. With additional information you will be able to plan your day and week efficiently. If you have a shoot the day before and the day after, you know you will need extra rest and you will be able to collect the items needed to go in your totebag for each shoot.
If it is a nonpaying photo assignment, it should be taken just as seriously as if it were for a major ad campaign. If you are working hard during the shoot, as well as enjoying being in front of the camera, the photographer will pick up on that mood. He will know that your actions and posing is strictly for the camera and to help him achieve the needed results on film. By giving 100% during the shoot, you will forced the photographer to work harder to capture all of the wonderful looks you are providing. You both will have gained more respect for the hard days work provided. You also will have a positive opinion of each other should a recommendation be needed for a future paying assignment.
Remember that professionalism, hard work and a great attitude will make you stand out from hundreds of other models which will result in additional paid assignments and can generate referrals for new work.

Background:: Although dysplasia is thought to be the precursor lesion in the development of colitis‐associated colorectal cancer (CRC), a significant proportion of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and low‐grade (LGD) or indefinite (IND) dysplasia remain cancer‐free during endoscopic follow‐up. There is a need for biomarkers that predict neoplastic progression. We studied the value of a series of immunohistochemical markers in UC patients with flat LGD or IND with regard to neoplastic progression.
Methods:: Tissue samples were collected from 12 UC patients (six flat LGD, six IND) without progression and from 10 UC patients (eight flat LGD, two IND) with documented progression to HGD and/or CRC during a median of 25 and 23 months of colonoscopic follow‐up, respectively. Immunohistochemistry using monoclonal antibodies was performed for p53, CD44, Ki67, AMACR, β‐catenin, cyclin D1, p21, and ALDH. Positive and negative staining patterns were compared for progression to advanced neoplasia.
Results:: When patients showed coexpression of p53 and AMACR, 6/7 patients (86%) developed advanced neoplasia, compared to 4/15 patients (27%) without p53/AMACR coexpression (P = 0.02). Patients with p53/AMACR coexpression developed advanced neoplasia in a time period of 19 months (median, range 1–101) compared to 80 months (median, range 8–169) in patients without p53/AMACR coexpression (P = 0.14). Interestingly, in three patients with progression and previous dysplasia‐negative biopsies, two out of three biopsies were p53‐positive a median of 12 months (range 10–14) before the LGD/IND diagnosis.
Conclusions:: This study suggests a role for p53/AMACR coexpression as a potential marker of neoplastic progression in patients with UC. (Inflamm Bowel Dis 2012;)

Emerging Technology Trends in the Practice of Law
by Brenda M. Clarke, Ronald L. Seigneur
This article will focus on control and use of mobile devices; information security; data retention and structure; and saving and making money with technology.
Regarding the first two issues, have you sufficiently tested your backup protocols and fully considered where your key data is located? Recently, a professional services firm was robbed by someone who gained entry with the cleaning crew. The thief stole about a dozen laptops, which no one noticed were missing until the next day. The laptops were not backed up and the firm lost sensitive and confidential audit client information.
Balancing accessibility with information security is a continuing challenge, as the incident at this firm highlights. It's also important to be aware of how much data we carrying on our PDAs, iPads, and other devices, notwithstanding that the advent of cloud-based technology solutions may render this type of data storage obsolete in many instances.
Recently, it was reported that the addition of a very small amount of salt during the manufacture of memory chips will increase the amount of data that can be stored roughly six-fold in the coming months.
Also, we have just seen the launch of the iCloud by Apple. A number of people are predicting that 2012 will see many of the software and utility applications we and our clients use migrate to cloud-based solutions. A recent study that was highlighted at the College of Law Practice Management's Futures 2011 conference noted that roughly 33 percent of law firms were moving to or considering cloud-based solutions for their technology plans. Decreasing concerns about secure, reliable Internet connections is a key driver in justifications for the cloud and all it appears to offer.
Many insightful issues also were covered at the Futures 2011 venue, an annual gathering of legal industry thought leaders (see colpm.org for more). Law firms are using the Internet more and more to compete for business, and one presenter made the comment that legal services access points, such as Direct Law, are to law firms what the website Open Table is to restaurants. For those that have used Open Table to find and reserve a table at a restaurant almost anywhere they travel within the U.S., think about the consumers of your services now having that level of access to alternative providers for the more routine services attorneys provide. It should make you sit up and pay attention to how you market and brand your firm online. Direct Law is by no means the only provider in this space, and do-it-yourself legal services are expected to approach a $1 billion market in the near term.
We are all in business of making a reasonable return on our investment of time and money, as well as on the risks we subject ourselves to every day we are open for business. Technology has long been touted as a way to increase efficiencies and profits, and we have been told this as part of the sales pitch for the new upgrade, new network, added monitors, Internet-based resources, and on and on and on. We still are not sure we will ever quite realize the enhanced efficiencies and profits we are promised, but we must continue to embrace and invest in evolving technologies to stay competitive. This is more evident today than at any other point in history.
In summary, here are just a few take-away points:
Invest in cutting edge—not bleeding edge—technology and listen to the younger folks in your firm to find out about their needs and preferences—they are the future of this profession. The way you were taught to do things to be successful still may work for you, but it might not be the most effective method for those who have grown up using computers. For example, our firm committed to two monitors for each professional a couple years ago, and now we are seeing the justification for more than two when the individuals in front of them can use them efficiently. Providing employees with tech support for tablet-based applications is probably a better example of where we are today.
• Identify who should be the champions within your practice to take the lead on assignable technology-related aspects of your practice, such as building and maintaining your electronic knowledge library, or being the lead person on the use and application of certain resources like searching databases, accessing online resources, or when and how to migrate applications to the cloud. It is not long before your firm's accounting; time and billing; and library resources will all be maintained in the cloud.
• Strive to find the balance necessary to maintain key relationships with staff, clients, and referral sources when it is so darn easy to just fire off an email to advance the ball. You might have the ball taken away from you when you do not also reach out, when appropriate, to communicate on the telephone or invest the time needed to arrange and have that face-to-face contact.
• Lastly, embrace the reality that Moore's Law remains in full bloom. Intel founder Gordon Moore predicted that with the advent of transistors, computing power would double roughly once every 12 to 18 months. That prediction was made in 1965, and our sense is we ain't seen nothing yet. Technology impacts just about everything we do today, but don't let it get in the way of maintaining balance in your life or interfere with the relationships that are most important to you. D

Nat, you reactionary putz. Zoning is an upscale name for something the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional five decades ago: segregation. What's next? Will you force some mountain users to sit at the back of the lift? Do you envision separate base lodges and water fountains? Come on. "Separate but equal" is anything but.
Yes, a revolution in equipment and massive increases in uphill capacity have fundamentally altered the skiing landscape. In the 21st century, we're looking at a rainbow of mountain users: teletubbies, snowboarders, shaped-ski carvers, long-boarders, ski-boarders and air-brained nitwits like you. It's a brave new world up there.
But that's not the problem. The real issue is attitude. Here's an idea: Instead of screaming for segregation, how about if we all show a little tolerance and take some personal responsibility? Instead of railing against that boarder for wanting to ride the same powder you did, how about heeding the Skier's Responsibility Code on the back of your lift ticket? It would have told you that you were overtaking her from above and that you were in the wrong. And the riders who hit your stepfather? The same code would probably have put them at fault, and they should have had their tickets pulled. Did you complain to mountain management that the patrol staff was doing a lousy job of enforcement? Of course not. You were probably too busy ranting about zoning.
There are rules on the books to keep the slopes safe and fun-if we choose to live by them. If every skier or rider who was hit went into the ticket office and demanded a refund because of poor skier-code enforcement, things would change fast. Sadly, too many mountain users and too many mountain managers are acting like they did in the last century, when skiers were a homogenous blend of stem turners and snowplowers.
Call it zoning, call it segregation, call it what you will. I call it a mistake. I have no interest in a half-baked policy that bans me from trails because I want to cruise fast on my old 205s, or forbids me to ski with my nephew because he's riding his Burton. I'll take personal responsibility over your head-in-the-snow regulations any day.

Abstract: A 68-year-old woman with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) had acute optic neuropathy associated with cerebrospinal fluid evidence of meningeal spread of CLL. There was no evidence of a hematologic relapse. After undergoing four weekly doses of intrathecal methotrexate, vision improved dramatically and spinal fluid became normal. Four years later, she has near normal vision in the affected eye and remains in hematologic remission. This is the first reported case of successful treatment of optic neuropathy in CLL with intrathecal methotrexate alone.
Central nervous system or meningeal involvement in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is uncommon (1-4). Its neurologic manifestations usually consist of neurocognitive dysfunction, cerebellar signs, and cranial nerve palsies (1,5,6). Optic neuropathy in CLL is rare and has been treated successfully with irradiation (2).
This is the first reported case of optic neuropathy in CLL to be successfully treated with intrathecal methotrexate alone.
A 68-year-old woman presented with a 10-week history of right periocular pain and reduced vision OD. She had stage A chronic lymphocytic leukemia diagnosed 10 years earlier that had progressed to stage C within 2 years. However, it had been in remission for 7 years.
At her first assessment by our Neuro-Ophthalmology Unit, visual acuity was counting fingers OD and 20/30 OS. The patient had a marked color deficit and a relative afferent pupil defect OD. The OS was normal. Goldmann visual field testing revealed a centrocecal scotoma OD (Fig. 1). Ophthalmoscopic examination and ultrasonography revealed normal optic discs.
Laboratory studies included hemoglobin 11 g/dL, white blood cell count 75.8 × 109/L, and platelets 89 × 109/L. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis revealed small lymphocytes and no evidence of organisms. Immunophenotyping of CSF revealed a predominance of lymphocytes, two-thirds of which belonged to a neoplastic clone of B cells that was positive for CD20, CD5, and lambda, a phenotype consistent with B-cell CLL.
After 3 days of treatment with intravenous methylprednisolone 1 g/d, there was no improvement in vision, so the patient was begun on chlorambucil 5 mg three times daily orally for 6 days and four weekly doses of methotrexate 12.5 mg intrathecally. At completion of treatment, visual acuity had improved to 20/80 OD. She had a persistent relative afferent pupil defect and temporal optic disc pallor OD. Repeat CSF analysis revealed no leukemic cells. Complete blood count showed hemoglobin 11.3 g/L, white blood cell count 6.7 × 109/L, and platelets 99 × 109/L.
Six months after treatment, visual acuity had improved to 20/30 OD. At 18 months, visual acuity remained 20/30 OD with a residual central scotoma OD (Fig. 2). Four years later, there has been no change in her ophthalmic status and hematological and CSF parameters remain normal.
Invasion of the brain, spinal cord, leptomeninges, and dura by B-cell CLL is found in 33% of autopsies of CLL patients but clinical cases are rare (3). Central nervous system and meningeal involvement is generally thought to be a manifestation of advanced CLL, but it may occur early in the disease and even as a presenting manifestation (2-5). From 16 autopsies of CLL patients with CNS involvement, Cramer et al (1) demonstrated that it may occur across all stages of the CLL. In one series of three cases, optic neuropathy was the first clinical manifestation of previously asymptomatic CLL and the precursor of worsening of the CLL (2).
Factors associated with central nervous system involvement include transformation to a more aggressive variant of CLL (Richter syndrome) (1), thrombocytopenia, and a T-cell variant, which is relatively aggressive (7). Our patient was noted to be consistently thrombocytopenic, although she was not symptomatic from this condition.
Optic nerve involvement is more commonly a feature of acute leukemia than of CLL. It is characteristically associated with hematological relapses (8), unlike our case. The optic neuropathy may occur with or without optic disc edema. Reduction in vision is postulated to result from distension of the optic nerve septae by leukemic cells, causing axonal compression and impairment of axoplasmic flow (9,10).
CSF analysis and immunophenotyping is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. It is critical in differentiating CLL infiltration from opportunistic infections caused by Herpes viruses, Candida, or Cryptococcus, which may cause a polyclonal B-cell response, and from radiation optic neuropathy. CSF phenotyping is also valuable in confirming the resolution of meningeal CLL after treatment (2).
Currie et al (2) described three cases of optic neuropathy as an early clinical manifestation of CLL and that responded favorably to optic nerve irradiation. Improvement of visual acuity and visual fields occurred at first with the use of high-dose corticosteroid therapy in two of these cases, but the effect diminished as the medication was tapered. All three patients underwent 24 to 30 Gy irradiation to the orbital area. Some visual improvement was noted within 2 weeks of treatment (2).
However, because of the many complications associated with brain and spinal cord x-irradiation, treatment with intrathecal methotrexate alone has its advantages (11-13). In one series of patients with central nervous system involvement in CLL, intrathecal chemotherapy alone produced longer survival than intrathecal chemotherapy combined with cranial irradiation (1). In that series, there were two long-term survivors who had been treated with cranial irradiation alone and had persistent disease localized to the optic nerve, suggesting that irradiation alone may not be effective for optic nerve infiltration (1).
In view of these facts, we elected to treat our patient with intrathecal methotrexate. She displayed a dramatic and sustained visual recovery without any systemic complications. After 4 years, she remains in hematologic remission. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of optic neuropathy in CLL to be successfully treated with intrathecal methotrexate without cranial irradiation.

Passive Loss Rules
Tax rules require the farmer to classify income and losses into two categories: earned or passive. If the farmer's loss is from a passive farming activity, the use of any resulting farming loss is limited for tax purposes. A passive farming loss can generally only be claimed against other passive income. It cannot be claimed against the farmer's earned (or "active") income from other sources.
The degree of the farmer's participation in the farming activity determines whether the farming activity is active or passive. If the degree of a farmer's activity in the farming operation meets one of the several "material participation" tests under the applicable tax rules, the income or losses from the farming operation will not be categorized as passive.6The losses will therefore not be subject to the limitation of being used only against passive income but rather, can be used against active, or earned income.
A farmer having self-employment income from the farm operation, typically reported using Schedule F, will generally be considered to materially participate in that farming activity.7While leasing real estate is generally considered a passive activity, special rules exist for farmers that lease land that make it easier for the farmer to meet the material participation requirement. A landlord farmer is considered to be a material participant if that farmer performs any three of the following four activities:
- Pay at least half of the direct costs of producing the crop or livestock using cash or credit.
- Providing at least half of the tools, equipment and any livestock used in the production activities.
- Advise or consult with tenants.
- Periodically inspect the production activities.
Alternatively, if the landlord farmer does not perform three of the above tests, material participation still exists if the farmer does one of the following:
- Regularly and frequently makes (or takes an important part in making) management decisions that substantially contribute to the success of the arrangement
- Works at least 100 hours over a period of five weeks or more in activities connected with agricultural production, or
- Performs other activities that show material and significant involvement in the production of the farm commodities.8

Background and Data Source
The 1996 National Youth Gang Survey2 (NYGC, 1999a) asked respondents who reported the presence of a youth gang problem: "In approximately what year did gangs begin to pose a problem in your jurisdiction?" The average year of onset3 was 1989 for larger cities (populations of 25,000 or more), 1990 for suburban counties, 1992 for smaller cities, and 1993 for rural counties. Of course, a number of jurisdictions said their gang problem began much earlier—84 jurisdictions (including 63 larger cities) said their gang problem began before 1981, and 72 (including 54 larger cities) said their problem began between 1981 and 1985. Of all jurisdictions that responded to the year-of-onset question in 1996, 53 percent reported onset during 1991–96 (20 percent in 1991–92, 25 percent in 1993–94, and 8 percent in 1995–96), 33 percent during 1986– 90, 6 percent during 1981–85, and 8 percent before 1981.
The analysis reported in this Bulletin compares the characteristics of gangs and gang members in jurisdictions with later (1991–96) versus earlier (before 1991) onset of gang problems. Where appropriate, comparisons are also made between jurisdictions with latest (1995– 96) and earliest (before 1981) onset. All of the data are unweighted and thus do not represent national estimates.4

While the Green Bay Packers haven't been too active in free agency, there have been some moves that will certainly affect their starting lineup once the 2014 regular season rolls around.
For example, the Packers will now need to find a replacement for wide receiver James Jones, who is now a member of the Oakland Raiders. There's also the issue of finding out where to play Julius Peppers. Will he continue to be a defensive end or is he best suited as an outside linebacker?
Today we'll navigate through the losses, signings and re-signings to let you know what the Packers starting lineup looks like through the first wave of free agency.

Hundreds of young singers and dancers are coming to our area this weekend.
24 show choirs are competing in the annual Onalaska Show Choir Classic.
Choirs from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois will show off their best singing and choreography with the hopes of being called the best. "The kids really love it, they can be active, they can express themselves, and then they can get scores, so kids always like to know where am I? Am I number one, am I number four, whatever," said Onalaska's Choral Dir. Richard Moses.
The Show choir competition gets underway at 8:00 a.m. Saturday morning and will go until about 10:00 p.m. that night. It's at the Onalaska H.S. Field House.
If choral music is more your style, there's also a Concert Choir Competition at First Lutheran Church Friday. That starts at 4:00 p.m.
There is a cost to get into both performances.

I just snagged a copy of Good to the Grain and boy do I feel like I need to start experimenting! Sand cookies made with kamut flour! And poppy seed wafers! There are also so many flours I haven't tried before. I've seen these cookies everywhere and I loved Molly's post about them. Having the capability to bake off a few cookies whenever you feel like seems really smart! You're right about not thinking these are super healthy. I've tried and failed many times to make cookies 'healthier' but have come to find out, you really need butter…and sugar….and let's just leave it at that. I've made some very dry cookies without those two key components! haha….I will have to give these a try. You are my reminder! Thank you! I want to be part of the club too!
WOAH. you have "one year ago" links. crazy.
also really want these bitte bitte bitte
These look so yummy! Really, as common as chocolate chip cookies are, I think it's actually really hard to find a perfect recipe for them. These look promising and I think I'll need to try them!
Look, people who haven't yet made these magical cookies yet! Thank goodness you posted the recipe again! Phew! I LOVE THESE COOKIES, they are my happy place. It's a rare cookie baking day when I don't make these cookies. They've traveled with me everywhere, and are always my hostess gift. People love them, they are loveable. And I'm so glad you decided to spread the love!
I looooove those finding the perfect chocolate chip cookie experiments (im a BIG chocolate chip cookie fan, in case you didn't know…). I also think you should definitely bring home some of that free ice cream (most probably vanilla, although caramel would also work…). You should then sandwich it between two of these cookies and call it an 'I deserve a special dessert day'.
These look great! I'll have to try them – Thanks!
By the way, have you tried Thomas Keller's chocolate chip cookies? They're my favorite chocolate chip cookies so far, and I've tried countless recipes. They're nicely crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. I cut each sugar down, and use all semi-sweet chocolate.
Hi Amy!
I know this comment is rather late but I was wondering if you could help me out? I was planning to make these cookies but I'm just a tad bit short of whole wheat flour! Probably about slightly less than 1/2 cup? Do you think I should do without that flour or sub it with AP?
Thanks! :) Fabulous blog by the way!
[…] that her two favorite chocolate chip cookie recipes happen to be identical to mine (this one and this one, by the way), I knew I should trust her […]

New implantable lenses put high-tech devices within reach, UT Southwestern eye surgeons say
DALLAS — March 3, 2009 — If you're having trouble reading or sending text messages on your new cell phone, UT Southwestern Medical Center eye surgeons may have a remedy.
Intraocular lenses, the next generation of implantable lenses, are designed to correct cataracts and presbyopia, the blurry eyesight that commonly occurs around age 40. They focus on improving middle and near distances, which include viewing reading materials on computer screens, reading print materials and viewing text-enabled cell phones.
IOLs or permanent lenses have become an increasingly popular solution for people with presbyopia with or without cataracts who want to permanently rid themselves of glasses. Implantable lenses can correct vision at near, middle and far distances by replacing the eye's natural or damaged lens.
A new generation of ReSTOR lenses now available offers better clarity for many high-tech gadgetry demands, with tweaks to near vision, which is increasingly used for viewing data on cell phones and PDAs, and intermediate vision, used for computer screens or GPS devices, explained Dr. James McCulley, chairman of ophthalmology at UT Southwestern.
"A person is four times as likely to have 20/20 distant, intermediate and near vision with this new lens as with the previous lens. Previously, that 20/20 equivalence often was not attained in the intermediate distance," said Dr. McCulley, who directs the Jean H. & John T. Walter Jr. Center for Research in Age-Related Macular Degeneration.
"The near power is now a little bit farther away, which puts it in the more typical normal reading distance, and the intermediate distance vision, which would be a computer screen, grocery store shelf, GPS or the dashboard on a motor vehicle is significantly improved," Dr. McCulley noted.
The new RESTOR lens's design gathers and spreads light in a unique way, using an outer edge to focus distant images, the thicker center to focus on nearer objects and layered surfaces that help with the in-between distances.
"The remarkable thing with it is that by moving the images in effect closer together, it did not increase any problems with overlap of images," Dr. McCulley said.
Aging causes the eye's natural lens to become more opaque, scattering light and clouding vision. More than half of Americans 65 and older have cataracts, which can be hastened by diabetes, smoking, poor nutrition and other factors.
Eye surgeons can correct the cataract problem and presbyopia simultaneously by removing the clouded lens and replacing it with a multifocal artificial IOL lens. Younger patients with presbyopia, in which near vision becomes blurry, also may eliminate the need for glasses with a multifocal IOL, a procedure called refractive lens exchange that is typically not covered by insurance.
"Our commitment to patients who want this done is to get them as close to glasses-free as technology allows, and this latest lens gets us that much closer," Dr. McCulley said. "We are gaining on the long-term goal to completely eliminate the need for glasses."
In clinical studies, 80 percent of patients with the AcrySof ReSTOR lenses reported never wearing glasses after cataract surgery in both eyes, compared to only 10 percent of those with monofocal lenses, which was the highest level of freedom from glasses ever demonstrated in an IOL clinical trial, according to Fort-Worth based Alcon, which makes the lenses. Even people who do still need glasses with the ReSTOR lens need them less often. Potential side effects of IOLs may include visual aberrations like halos or diminished night vision.

Mike Doughty first came to prominence as the leader of the band Soul Coughing, then did an abrupt sonic left turn, much to the surprise of his audience, transforming into a solo performer of stark, dusky, but strangely hopeful tunes. He battled addiction, gave up fame when his old band was at the height of its popularity, and drove thousands of miles, alone, across America, with just an acoustic guitar.
His candid, hilarious, self-lacerating memoir, The Book of Drugs - featuring cameos by Redman, Ani DiFranco, the late Jeff Buckley, and others - is the story of his band's rise and bitter collapse, the haunted and darkly comical life of addiction, and the perhaps even weirder world of recovery.
©2012 Mike Doughty (P)2011 Audible, Inc.
"Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll have never been deconstructed with such literary elegance and self-deprecating honesty. I was riveted by Mike's evolution, through relentless hard work, from a neophyte with great musical insights, to a master musician. Most of all, I felt Mike's spirit: his humility, courage and power, and his remarkable transformation from imminent self-destruction to prolific, spiritually transparent artist. This is a tremendously brave and rigorously honest book; funny, sad, jarring and achingly true. He had me from the first page." (Rosanne Cash, author of Composed)
"Hardly your typical rock star memoir. Doughty is brutally honest about life as an addict.... Bringing the writing skill that he has crafted to his underground poetry, magazine articles, and songs, Doughty conveys his message with both despair and humor.... A compelling look at one man's struggle to come to terms with the much-discussed connection between addiction and art." (Publishers Weekly )
"Doughty's life, as chronicled in these pages, is not so much a revelation for its narrative arc (kid makes the big time, starts in with the dope, the band breaks up, kid is redeemed), as it is for the astonishingly vital, energized, and natural voice contained in its pages, one which never once had a ghost writer presiding over it, likewise its acerbic and sometimes lacerating honesty." (Rick Moody)
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"I Got on an Emotional Rollercoaster w. M. Doughty"
You know how it feels to find out a person you've exalted is, well, only human? When you actually make their acquaintance, the air of mystery is dissolved and the unique, impossibly cool person you imagined is really kind of a jerk? I had that exact reaction listening to this book...
I consider myself equally a fan of Soul Coughing (I'm not supposed to say that, Doughty HATES it) and Doughty's solo work. I found both of them at roughly the same time, so I gave the music equal consideration and was not put off by the vast differences. Regardless, you do not have to be a fan of either to enjoy this book, which is a bunch of raw, exposed nerves I found impossible to put down. This biography is equal parts maddening frustration (repeated self-imposed torture at the hands of others & himself) and pure entertainment - I loved it.
Super glad Doughty decided to read it himself, because he reads in succinct defiant bursts, which really lends itself well to the overall experience.
So while I'll probably never make Doughty's real acquaintance, this was enough of a glimpse into his life for me to know we're not meant to be friends (I feel he hurts people's feelings too easily and I'm just a sensitive girl). I still admire his talent, intelligence, determination and ability to save his own life. Sad to find out about the horrific dysfunction of the band during its 7 year life (and sad to learn what a bunch of DBs the guys in the band were to each other), but most marriages end in divorce too... even though Soul Coughing never even had a honeymoon.
A great audio book, and probably an equally good conventional read. Doughty tells his fascinating story passionately and honestly. He has talent as a writer--the whole book is well written. If he writes a second, I'll read that one too.
"Great piece. Can't stop listening."
Like the band and never knew the back story. What a wild ride. Has a HST-esque feel. Great read.
"Starts great, Ends on another person"
I LOVED how this book began. The way he weaves information about his life as a child and now was great.
However, as the book goes on it becomes VERY repetitive on how he didn't remember things. I do think that's just the honest truth, that through these addictions he really doesn't remember things but listening to ''I can't remember'' a lot becomes frustrating after a while.
The part that really bothered me though was the very end, he doesn't end the book on himself. He talks about a girl he got to go to an addiction meeting. It ends on him saying she can start her life over. I understand the point of it, that he's passing on the torch but the book not ending about Mike Doughty, or having anything to do with him just kind of left things in the air. I felt like he took me on this journey with him and he just left me in the dust all the sudden.

Two rabbis in the making swore to themselves the same sensible vow: They would never fall in love with a fellow rabbi, bli neder – without making a formal commitment.
In the fall of 2006, Erin Glazer, 26, started her third year at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in New York (HUC-JIR). She made friends with two new arrivals, second-year students who had spent the first year studying in Jerusalem.
"From the beginning, we were good friends," says Erin. "Actually, we were a threesome." It was Erin, Joe and Matt.
As the year progressed, the dynamics began to change, and Matt noticed a chemistry between Erin and and his good friend Joe Skloot. He suspected how each really felt about the other, and decided to nudge them into action. He had never played matchmaker. "When the thought dawned on me to set them up, I thought, of course, it will work."
He invited Joe for a Friday night dinner. Then he called Erin, told her that Joe was coming, and gave her Joe's phone number so they could come together.
It worked out nicely. Joe and Erin, who at the time both lived on the Upper West Side met at the 96th Street subway stop and rode the train together to Brooklyn. By the end of the evening, on the train ride back, Joe asked Erin out on a date.
"I'm batting a thousand," says Matt, aka today as Rabbi Matthew D. Soffer of Temple Israel in Boston.
A 2010 study, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, titled "The Rise of the Internet as a Social Intermediary," found that just under 30 percent of couples in the survey met their partners online. But one old-fashioned source beats the Net in making introductions: friends.
"We connect on an intellectual level," says Erin. Joe received his A.B., cum laude, from Princeton University in modern European cultural and intellectual history.
"We connect on a spiritual level," says Joe. Both Erin and Joe are ordained rabbis from HUC-JIR.
"And we complement each other," says Erin. Joe does all the cooking and though he's a vegetarian, he cooks meat for Erin.
"Our friends at HUC were delighted to see us together," says Joe. As a matter of fact, he adds: "It's not uncommon for two Reform rabbinical students to become a couple."
"I never thought I'd be interested in a guy younger than myself," says Erin. "But our one year difference in age never became an issue."
Joe had planned his proposal for January 2009, and his cat helped the action along. The cat broke a light fixture in his apartment, and Joe took Erin out ostensibly to buy a new fixture. On the way the couple stopped under the arch at Washington Square Park. Joe bent down on one knee and proposed.
Eight of their friends were waiting for them that night to celebrate. And the celebration continued in Richmond, Virginia with Erin's parents and with Joe's parents in Durham, North Carolina.
The couple now lives in Westfield, New Jersey. Joe commutes to Columbia University, where he is a Ph.D. candidate in Jewish history and recipient of the Jacob K. Javitz Graduate Fellowship. Erin is assistant rabbi of Temple Emanu-El in Westfield, which has more than 1,000 member families.
Rabbi Erin Ruth Glazer and Rabbi Joseph Aaron Skloot were married on May 30, 2010. Mazal tov!

2 Taiwan museums listed in world's top 20 for attendance
June 12, 2014, 12:00 am TWN
TAIPEI -- The National Palace Museum in Taipei and National Museum of Natural Science in Taichung have been ranked among the world's 20 most popular museums in 2013 by a U.S. business association.
The California-based Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) released the ranking of global museums and theme parks by attendance last week.
The National Palace Museum, home to one of the world's largest collections of imperial Chinese artwork and artifacts, came in 13th for attendance last year with 4.41 million visits, an increase of 1.2 percent from the previous year. It ranked second in Asia, behind only the National Museum of China in Beijing.
The National Museum of Natural Science in Taichung came in at 18th with just short of 3.4 million visits, a 15 percent increase from 2012.
Unsurprisingly, the Louvre in Paris, France was the world's most popular museum by attendance, attracting more than 9.3 million visits. It was followed by the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. in second place with 8 million visits and the National Museum of China in third place.
The Beijing museum, which welcomed 7.45 million visitors, recorded the greatest growth of any museum on the list at 38.7 percent.
Rounding out the top five were the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. with nearly 7 million visits and the British Museum in London with 6.7 million visits.
The largest decline on the list was seen at the Tate Modern art gallery in London (ranked 12th), where attendance dropped 8.2 percent from the previous year.
Despite the fall, the report concluded that museums had a strong year in 2013 with overall attendance growing over 7 percent annually.
"The U.K. again performed well with a number of museums up 15 to 20 percent (in attendance)," the report noted. "The Asian museums were notably up also."

Album Summary
- Christine Simonin (Ondes Martenot)
Notes & Reviews:
"Gloriously rich and natural recorded sound... one of the most suprising and rewarding releases of this or any other year." - ClassicsToday
Gramophone Classical Music Guide
Much of Koechlin's highly individual orchestral music remains unexplored: indeed, both works here are premiere recordings. Before he became a composer, Koechlin wanted to be an astronomer and his fascination with the 'starry firmament', and the dream-world it evoked, is sensuously created in the arch-like structure of Vers la voûteétoilée ('Towards the vault of stars'). Written in the early 1920s and revised in 1939, this demonstrates the composer's exotic sound-world in a nocturnal piece that doesn't outstay its welcome.
The stars in the heavens return in Le DocteurFabricius, written 1941-4, a more ambitious, large-scale symphonic poem with a philosophical underlay, based on a short story by the composer's uncle. The narrative describes a visit to the mysterious house in which the nihilistic Doctor Fabricius has cut himself off from the world.
After an austere opening, dolorous chorales symbolise the philosophical disillusion, interrupted by a strident, fugal revolt and interwoven with moments of sadness. A powerfully scored chorale suggests that human hope always re-emerges.
The visitor looks out to the starry firmament (the ondes martenot-rich scoring suggests Messiaen) and then, in a passage of radiant exultation, the spirit of Ravel hovers over the music to evoke the consolation of Nature. After an explosion of joy the music returns to the serene, withdrawn evocation of the opening.
Koechlin's powers as an orchestrator ensure his vision is powerfully communicated. Heinz Holliger is very much at home here, and the Stuttgart Radio orchestra play most responsively.
The recording is full and atmospheric, though one ideally needs a more voluptuous ambience. But this is well worth trying.

We evaluated the frequency, nature and severity of language, speech, reading and writing impairments in 30 adults with NF1. Spontaneous speech was recorded and selective language tasks were administered, as well as oral reading, written picture description, the NART and verbal ¯uency tasks. A distinctive pro®le of speech impairment was identi®ed, with hypernasality and abnormal rate, volume, pitch and articulation. Language function was relatively preserved but we detected a range of di�culties in the production of written language including spelling, dysgraphia, formation of cursive writing and lack of punctuation. Verbal fluency was markedly reduced in phonemic as opposed to semantic category generation. The cause of these patients' speech and writing disorders has not been determined but they may be due to a combination of impaired motor coordination and an inability to plan and sequence complex tasks.
