This was in The Key West Citizen yesterday:
BY GWEN FILOSA Citizen Staff
A 35-year-old homeless man remained jailed Friday night on a felony rape charge, after deputies said he attacked a woman who had passed out drunk on a vacant Stock Island lot the day after Christmas. Daniel Potts, originally from New Orleans, was locked up on a $75,000 bond after deputies arrived to find him still trying to pull up his pants and zip them shut, according to the arrest report. Melissa Damis said she was crossing Maloney Avenue by the fire station about 6 p.m. Wednesday when she saw her friend being raped by Potts and rushed over to pull him off, deputies reported. Potts denied that he touched the woman, but then said he had only had oral sex with her, the arrest report said. "He then stated that the witness was a 'crackhead' and the victim was a drunk," Deputy Genine Hernandez wrote in the arrest report. "The suspect continued to change his story, contradicting himself in regards to his contact with the victim." The 49-year-old woman told deputies on the scene that she was drunk and did not give permission for Potts to have sex with her. "I am nice to these people; I share everything with them," she reportedly told deputies. "Why did he do this to me?" The woman, who was not identified by the Sheriff's Office, was extremely drunk when deputies questioned her. She was having difficulty pulling her pants up, and could not stand on her own or hold her bicycle, the report said. She did not want to go to the emergency room for an exam and did not want a victim's advocate to come to the scene, deputies said. She was also too drunk to make a complete written statement, other than accusing the man of trying to rape her while she was intoxicated. "She was unable to make a clear and complete thought or sentence," Hernandez reported. In Florida, a rape committed when the victim is unable to consent due to intoxication is felony sexual battery. In Monroe County, Potts has an Oct. 30 conviction for misdemeanor theft committed Oct. 13.
Some thoughts. Yes, if she was too intoxicated to consent, that would be rape even if she did consent. That aside, as drunk as she apparently was, how could she know if she went along with it, encouraged it, or was taken advantage of? Mayor Cates and the City Commission intend to force homeless people who want to turn their lives around into the new homeless shelter with with the likes of these two homeless people? I ask that question because that's what Mayor Cates and the City Commission are doing at KOTS. That's why I told them at a recent city commission meeting that they all need to sleep for a week at KOTS, so they know what it's like to live with and sleep next to drug addicts.
Yesterday's the baptism of Mary Magdalene Melchizedek and Jesus Christ post prompted this from Gloria Reiser of Quincy, Illinios, a psychic with an international clientelle, whom I have known since 1990.
With regard to your mention of Doreen Virtue, I'm familiar with some of her books and many of her angel card decks. What I've noted is that they are very much of a positive and light tone. A bit too much so most of the time for my tastes. The books are what I would term "fluffy," (which of course is just my personal opinion). Though there is one (title slips my mind at the moment) which is a book of short stories purported to be true reports of encounters with Angels. That one is somewhat interesting, but not so different from similar stories shared in many other varying places, such as perhaps Guideposts Magazine….. and/or simply from talking with ordinary people at a level where they come to feel comfortable sharing their experiences.
As for the Angels giving you a rough time and a friend/associate inferring this would be unusual or perhaps involving something else entirely… a perspective I've heard mentioned by Buddhist friends is that Real Dharma doesn't always Feel Good. It often involves deep change which is not generally comfortable, full (sometimes painful) honesty… in other words, major ongoing transformation… But this is not just a Buddhist thing. It comes, and can come for anyone, via connection with what some might call Angels, others The Deep Soul, or God, or Goddess, The Divine, the Universe…. just my three cents on the subject.
I replied:
Hi, Gloria. Thanks for your thoughtful mentations.
Basically, my sense is Doreen Virtue is very young in the spirit. Otherwise, she would have made a very different response to what I sent to her, than to send back to me promotions of her wares. I wore out between 1986 and 1989 chasing after the sort of stuff New Age prophets, healers, etc. sell. I also wore out chasing after other prophets, healers. I supposed I had to go through that to get in my stupid mind that I had to get help from God, if I was going to stay around. Not that later I did not wish many times that I had not stayed around.
Which brings me to the rough time I am having, and have been having since the angels showed up in early 1987, as I have written many times, as you well know. It took me a long time to understand that part of the rough time was karma for my own misdeeds, karma I very well might experience for as long as I breathe in this body, unless the angels lift it off of me. The other part of the rough time is the spirit work I take directly into and through my body like it's a sewerage treatment plant, which I suppose it is in the sprit shit sense. I do not do that consciously, it simply happens, like breathing simply happens. I can no more stop it than I can hold my breath and stop breathing.
Many people on a spiritual path, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, New Age, Arcane, Eastern, whatever, want it to be easy, love and light, warm and fuzzy, get what they want by visualizing it, whatever. This might work for a while, but it is nothing more than magic and sooner or later they run out of rope and are yanked rudely back toward the god, er, dog house. It was not to flap his gums that Jesus said in the gospels such as: many are called but few are chosen; steep is the way and narrow the gate; the work is great and the laborers are few. Rumi's poem, "The Chickpea," which is easy to google, gives a somewhat funny Sufi view of being broiled alive by God … for a long time
What continues to puzzle me is all the hooplah about Rumi, but almost total silence about his spiritual teacher Shams, who put the chickpea, Rumi, into God's cauldron. Rumi was considered pretty far along in his own right, and then Shams came along and turned Rumi upside down and inside out. Or so I heard it told. I also heard it told that eventually the people where Rumi lived got so pissed off at Shams, I suppose he told them plenty they didn't care to hear, that they killed him and perhaps put him out of his own misery
Further Facebook conversation with Erika Biddle of Key West, spawned by this in yesterday's post:
Sloan Bashinsky I imagine Jesus was the loneliness man in the history of this species, until he met Mary Magdalene. I received two transmissions about her, the first around 1991-92, from far, far away it seemed:
Melchizedek … Melchizedek is an order of angel that comes to a planet in trouble … Melchizedek comes to a planet to prepare it for the coming of the Christ … the Christ does not come to a planet without Melchizedek … Mary Magdalene was of the Order Melchizedek …
The second transmission came in late winter 2004:
Rosa Mystica
Sweet Mystery
Bride of Christ
Living water
without which God is dead
and there are no rainbows
I later came to understand, Bride of Christ was Blood of Christ
Erika Biddle That's your interpretation. I lean more towards the 'Jesus was gay' theory. According to many writings he lived most of his life with his mother. 12 close male friends of whom he picked 3 who he really loved…
Sloan Bashinsky It's not my interpretation. It was told to me by Jesus and Michael and Melchizedek, ie. Mary Magdalene. And it was told to some of my wives. And to one of my best male friends, who was Jewish. It also was reported in the book Holy Blood, Holy Grail. Gay is Christendom, with its all male Trinity.
Erika Biddle Sure so be it then…
Sloan Bashinsky The one Jesus loved most was who he first addressed after he came out of the tomb and told her to go to the disciples and tell them that she had seen him and he would be with them shortly, and Peter was really upset that a woman had been sent to tell them the "good news", the same woman who had washed Jesus' feet with her hair and tears, and with precious ointment she scarce could afford. Wonder what she annointed and washed him with when they were in private? Jesus sent the disciples a clear message when he sent Magdalene to tell them he was headed their way. Not that the men who reported it, and the men who later wrote it down, and the Rome church later created wanted to tell it like it really happened. That wasn't all they didn't want to tell like it really happened, but they left enough in to tell it anyway, perhaps intentionally, perhaps unwittingly.
Perhaps cosmic humor, Erika had written to me on Christmas Day:
Have you ever read Doreen Virtue's "angel therapy" ? I didn't but yesterday I overheard a conversation about clairaudient people like yourself ….
And then Erika got sent mucho transmissions I recieved past and present.
I imagine God has tried many more times than we know or have heard to try to reach humanity. In his so-called novel Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson, G.I. Gurdjieff, reputed to have been trained by a secret Sufi sect, tells the reader, through Beelzebub speaking to his grandson, of the many great saints who lived on this world and tried to help people in their geographic locality, the one whose teachings had the best chance of helping humanity was St. Jesus. I recall very well feeding that back to a Gurdjieff disciple (Gurdjieff was many years dead by then), who had told me I needed to read the book. I told her she needed to work out her beef with Jesus, instead of trying to replace him with Gurdjieff. She blanched. No way was that going to happen. I told many Americans raised as Christians, who didn't work it out with Jesus and went into the New Age, or into Wicca, or East to a yogi guru, or to Buddha, or to Lao Tzu (Taoism), or to Rumi and the Sufis, hoping to find Jesus there, that they needed to let go of all of that and work it out with Jesus. Not with Christianity, but with Jesus. They blanched. No way was that going to happen. Maybe if someone lives as Jesus in the Gospels said to live, that is working it out with Jesus. I don't see anywhere in the Gospels that Jesus charged people for helping them.

Warm 2nd time I come ..... In addition the sheets and towels ..... For me the top
Accueil chaleureux 2émes fois que je viens .....En plus les draps et linges.....Pour moi le top
Salvatore is a nice and helpful guy. The contact before we arrived was good and our early check-out was not a problem.
The appartment looks exactly like the pictures and was clean, but it is quite small and I would not recommend it for very tall people, more than 2 people or for a stay of more than 2-3 nights.
The location is great, next to the old town, 10 min. walk to the beach and with a nice view of the Garibaldi Square and the mountains outside Nice. The square has some traffic which starts very early in the morning so bring earplugs if you want to sleep with the windows open.
Very nice host and a very nice apartment. We were much satisfied with our stay here!
We stayed 5 days and everything was perfect! The studio had everything we needed, the location just great and Salvatore top! We are arriving late in Nice, 21:30, no worries, Salvatore was there to greet us. He advised us on all our questions and was a pleasure to answer. And more to finish the day of departure, our flight was late, we had to make the studio for 12:00 but we arranged with Salvatore to retrieve the luggage later. He does everything to help you. I advise anyone that studio for a stay in Nice.
Nous avons séjourné 5 jours et tout était parfait! Le studio avait tout se qu'il fallait, l'emplacement juste géniale et Salvatore top!
Nous somme arrivés tard à Nice, 21:30, pas de soucis, Salvatore était là pour nous accueillir. Il nous a conseillé sur toutes nos questions et se faisait une joie d'y répondre.
Et en plus pour finir, le jour de départ, notre vol était assez tard, nous avons dû rendre le studio pour les 12:00 mais on s'est arrangé avec Salvatore pour récuperer les bagages plus tard. Il fait tout pour vous rendre service.
Je conseille à n'importe qui ce studio pour un séjour à Nice.
The studio was perfectly clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Everything was new and in good condition. The studio is well situated near the tramway station and walking distance from the centre of Nice and Vieux Nice.
Salvatore was very friendly and flexible about our late night arrival and early departure which was much appreciated. I would recommend this accommodation for a visit to Nice.
We are satisfied! The apartment is minimal, the sofa bed is not very comfortable and there is noise of traffic and nightlife in the square outside. But the location is perfect. With earplugs and a little patience in the cramped space, it's good value for money!
Vi är nöjda! Lägenheten är minimal, bäddsoffan inte särskilt skön och det bullrar av trafik och nattliv på torget utanför. Men läget är perfekt. Med öronproppar och lite tålamod på det trånga utrymmet, är det bra valuta för pengarna!
Salvatore is very sympatic and well organized. There where no problems with the studio. Everything was clean and in good conditions. Check-in and check-out was very straightforward. Thanks again.
I've stayed there with my wife for 4 nights.
I'd LOVE to recommend this place for those who are under 180cm (because it is very small and the ceiling of the bathroom and the loft are quite low.)
We enjoyed cooking with some fresh ingredients from Marche or super market Monoprix that was very close to the place.
Salvatore was nice person. We hope seeing him and staying there again!!
Thank you.
Plus: Studio 2 steps from the Promenade des Anglais, close to all amenities, ideal for a weekend for two! Modern decor, no complaints about cleanliness! Very well equipped. Not the least of bed linen and towels provided and a little quilt just for two. But I recommend the studio again!
Le plus : Studio à 2 pas de la Promenade des Anglais, proches de ttes commodités, idéal pour un week-end à deux! Déco moderne, rien à redire sur la propreté! Très bien équipé.
Le moins pas de linge de lit et de toilette fournis et couette un peu juste pour deux.
Mais je recommande ce studio sans hésiter!
beautiful little studio clean tidy and well located close to the old town and all amenities Piazza Garibaldi very nice with all amenities Well received by Salvatore Good quality / price ratio
beau petit studio propre bien agencé et bien situé proche du vieux Nice et de toutes commodités
place Garibaldi très agréable avec toutes commodités
Bien reçue par Salvatore

Brunswick County sheriff's deputies are seeking two men suspected of robbing on Thursday morning the Winners World sweepstakes parlor at 10200 Ocean Highway in Calabash.
The robbers were described as two black males, one heavy built and weighing approximately 270-300 pounds; the other slimmer at 170 pounds. The slimmer robber wore a mask over his face.
After robbing the parlor about 5:44 a.m. Thursday, the assailants fled in a car in an unknown direction, deputies say.
There was a death in the establishment around the same time as the robbery but it was not immediately clear whether it was connected to the crime. The Brunswick County Sheriff's Office is expected to release more information as the investigation unfolds.
The sheriff's office is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the robbers.

At a private school in Vermont for boys with learning disabilities, students are challenged to memorize and recite Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, reports a Ken Burns documentary.
Teachers, language specialists, speech pathologists and therapists work with the boys, often one on one. Greenwood's tuition for day students is $53,475, notes Linda Holmes on an NPR blog. For boarding students, it's $68,890. "The chilling part of the film is to think about how many kids would benefit from, but don't get, this kind of attention."

Michael Aish Steps Up - Page 2
Why did you decide to attempt Leadville? Was it a desire to return to serious competition at a different distance, or was it just the idea of a new challenge?
Living in Colorado, the Leadville 100 is like the race you've got to do. When you say you're a runner here, people ask if you've done Leadville. So it's always been on my bucket list.
After about six months of not really running, I grew itchy to compete. I didn't have a lot of goals. I was walking the dogs up in the hills one day and thought, I'm going to see if I can get into Leadville. I
What is different, or the same, as when you were training for shorter road and track races?
To be honest, I have no idea what I'm doing. Basically, I wanted to bring a little bit of marathon training into it and see what I could so. I had all these great plans, but working a lot at the running store got in the way sometimes. I've been running about five days a week, with one or two days that are a little bit longer. Sometimes I've run to work—it's about 30 road miles—at 6:30 or 6:45 pace the whole way, so close enough to a tempo run.
I probably average about 12 miles per day, and get in a three or three-and-a-half hour run once or twice a week. Some guys factor in hiking but what I'm doing is all running. The 50 was good enough to show me that I must be doing well.
Since Leadville is primarily on trails, have you incorporated more training on trails?
I've always run on the trails. It's nothing new to me. Now I'm just spending a little more time on them.
You said the 50 indicated your training was working—how did that race go?
My whole goal going in was just to take it very easy. I really had no idea, and I'm still kind of guessing at what I'm doing. The race went pretty well, and I got a little itchy in the middle and it took a lot to pull myself back, remind myself I had a long way to go and that it was still new territory for me. The last few miles I jogged, walked and tried to avoid blowing myself apart.
What are your expectations for the 100? Do you think being an elite marathoner will set you up well for this race?
To be honest, the marathon is one of my worst events. I've run about a 2:13, and I think my track times should have transitioned into something a lot better.
I'm a competitive person so I always go into a race with that mindset. At the same time, my main goal is to get to the finish line, in one piece, running. That last part is key. If I'm blown apart I probably won't be as happy.
I'll follow my personal view of racing, which is that I'm going to go out with the leaders and hold on as long as I can. I recognize this is supposed to be a great field, and this is what those guys do. I'm not under the impression I'm going to go out and boss them around. I'm just looking to hang on, and if I'm feeling good and in a good position late, sure I'll try and take it. But for now, I'm just going to see what I can do, beat as many people as I can and not beat myself to pieces. I'm looking forward to it … but I'm kind of scared.

Esther Duflo is one of those people who are taken seriously by the sort of people who eat up TED talks with a silver spoon. Her big number is how to help people in the Third World up from poverty, which is a surprisingly profitable branch of economics when you consider the sheer number of NGOs and billionaires interested in getting into the aid business.
But there's one particular billionaire at Duflo's back. Abdul Latif Jameel.
Esther Duflo is one of the co-founders of the Poverty Action Lab at MIT, more commonly known as J-PAL for the father of Abdul Latif Jameel aka Mohammed Abdul Latif Jameel, a Saudi billionaire with a net worth of approximately 5 billion dollars.
Mohammed Abdul Latif Jameel owns the world's largest Toyota dealership and sits on the board of Coexist as well as a number of other organizations. And Jameel provided 3 major endowments for J-PAL. Around the same time the Abdul Latif Jameel Group sued the Wall Street Journal for reporting its presence on the list of accounts monitored for funding terrorism.
Mohammed's brother was sued by victims of Al Qaeda on accusations that he helped fund its terrorist activities after his name was found on a list in the offices of Benevolence International Foundation, an Al Qaeda front group started by Bin Laden's brother-in-law.
Now Obama has chosen Duflo to serve on the President's Global Development Council which will shape American global development policy worldwide.
Is there any segment of the Obama administration that is not under Islamic influence?

Interesting back here. Isaiah Pead from UC is actually rated higher than James on most scouts lists.
I've heard some people arguing about James being a lot like James Brooks. This kid fits the bill more closely. In body type he's closer to Brooks and to LeSean McCoy. Washington's Chris Polk tomorrow.

Category: Claiming Dependents
Children of divorced or separated parents
In most cases, a child of divorced or separated parents is the qualifying child of the custodial parent. However, the child will be treated as the qualifying child of the noncustodial parent if all 4 of the following are true:
1. The parents (only one need apply):
* Are divorced or legally separated under a decree of divorce;
* Are separated under a written separation agreement; -OR-
* Lived apart at all times during the last 6 months of the year
2. The child received over half of his or her support for the year from the parents.
3. The child is in the custody of at least one parent for more than half of the year.
4. The custodial parent signs a written declaration that he or she will not claim the child as a dependent. Generally, this declaration is IRS Form 8332 and is included in the noncustodial parents return. For more information on this form, Click here. To view this form and its instructions, click here.
Definitions of "custodial" and "noncustodial" parents:
The "custodial" parent is the parent with whom the child lived for the greater part of the year. The other parent is the noncustodial parent.
If the parents divorced or separated during the year, and the child lived with both parents before the separation, the custodial parent is the one with whom the child lived for the greater part of the rest of the year.

Considering the Priesthood? Consider the Diocese of Juneau.
The Diocese of Juneau encompasses the southeast Alaska panhandle, a narrow strip of North America's mainland, plus the more than 1,000 islands of the Alexander Archipelago. The Diocese is roughly the size and shape of the State of Florida. Our diocesan priests, and professed religious priests and sisters, serve a relatively small local Church, whose several thousands of members comprise fewer than 20 parishes and missions. Most of these parishes and missions are located in cities, towns, or villages which are accessible only by air or by sea. In most cases, there is but one parish or mission in any town; Juneau alone has two parishes.
A great advantage of serving in our small Catholic communities is the opportunity to know each parishioner or mission member by name. Here in the Diocese of Juneau, the Church's ministers share deeply in the lives of the people whom they serve, in a manner simply not available in larger, urban or suburban dioceses. Some of our smallest parishes have fewer than 100 members, and some missions have less than a dozen. Our priests and sisters truly get to know their people!
If you sense a call to serve God as a priest, sister, or brother in the Diocese of Juneau, then please contact us!
Vocation Posters
You can make reproductions of any or all of the following posters to raise awareness to vocations to the priesthood in any of the three dioceses in the state of Alaska.

Across the Nation, Runners Set Their Sights High - Page 2
In the small town of Hughesville, Pennsylvania, Bryce Gavitt, 16, has been building his promising talent from the ground up, running multiple races close to home. Last year at the age of 15, he competed in the 11-mile Dam Scramble and finished in 8th place, a significant feat for a runner of his age. Bryce is looking forward to the opportunities that may arise for him, as he keeps collecting more rewarding trail-running experiences.
How long have you been trail running, and how did you get into it?
I have been running for close to a year now and I first got into it with encouragement from my parents.
What are the struggles and benefits of being a younger racer?
Being this age and trail running helps because I have youth on my side and I can go through a little more wear and tear on the trail. As that might help a lot, it also has its cons: not having as much experience on the trail like all of the other trail runners.
What's your favorite thing about trail running?
My favorite thing about trail running is that it is really challenging and in every step there is a small obstacle yet running trails is also fun and rewarding.
Do you have plans to run other Trophy Series races this year?
Yes, I hope to complete the entire Central PA Trophy Series this year, which consists of five races.
Where are you hoping trail running will take you in the future?
As a sophomore going into the 11th grade I have started to consider my post high school options such as college and I hope to get a scholarship for cross-country or track. Also as trail running has become very popular, runners have been getting sponsored and a goal of mine is to also be a sponsored runner as well someday.
The epitome of determination, Melanie Peters, 29, of White Lake, Michigan, has been giving it her all—and then some—since she began setting school track records at the University of Miami from 2002 to 2006. While she grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida, Melanie was an avid road runner, but the tables turned as she took her speed to the trails in White Lake, Michigan. Now, as a diligent nursing student, you'd think Melanie would take a break, but she's already looking forward to the Kettle Moraine 100K this Saturday. Good luck, Melanie!
How did you discover trail running? Or maybe, how did it discover you?
In 2011 I moved from Florida to Michigan so my running naturally changed from road marathons - which I had done for years—to trail running. In 2012, I did my first trail ultra (a 60K in Kentucky) and from there on out I was hooked on the beauty and variety of courses that trail running offered.
Wow, you've placed 1st in the women's category for eight races in the past two years! What's specific to your training that helps you compete at such a high level?
I've just never been able to shake the competitiveness that road running instills in you. I think we're seeing it a lot lately as fast, young road racers cross over into trail running. They just don't know how to go slow and take in the view.
What are some of the biggest highlights in your racing career?
1. Setting track records in college. College is always fun; it's even better when you can spend your days racing competitively.
2. Going to the Olympic Trials in the marathon in 2008. It's nice to be in the company of so many great runners.
3. Qualifying for WS [Western States] last year (even though I eventually DNF'd due to hypothermia) and then qualifying again this year to go back and finish it up. Western is just a special race.
Do you have plans to run other Trophy Series races this year?
Kettle Moraine 100K this Saturday, perhaps Waugoshance Trail Marathon or The Legend, Dances with Dirt Hell 50M, and the Heritage Trail Marathon, but it's kind of up in the air with the busy nursing school schedule I have. As well as a few triathlons scattered here and there, and my longest races are not in the trail series, unfortunately.
What do you enjoy most about trail running?
Hands down, the company that I run with. I get to spend hours on end, running trails with the best friends anyone could ask for. It's not hard to get a group of people to agree to road trip across the country to do a trail run and, for me, that's as good as it gets.
Any words of wisdom you'd like to share with fellow racers out there?
I suppose don't ever think that anything is 'unattainable'. By chipping away steadily at it you are certain to surprise yourself. Trail running teaches you just how much you can do by being persistent and never giving up. Before you know it you've covered 30...50...100 miles!

Akst, Daniel
Daniel Akst St. Burl's Obituary
Akst is an American novelist.
Akst's first novel, St. Burl's Obituary (1996), focuses on Burl Bennett, a reporter who writes obituaries for The New York Tribune. An obese man who enjoys lavish meals and takes immense pleasure in eating, Burl's life is changed when he enters a restaurant and witnesses a murderer attempting to escape a mob hit. After several threats from the Mafia, Burl flees west, where he works on an epic poem about the life and death of Mormon leader Joseph Smith. In Utah, Burl finds acceptance with Engel, a man who manages a laundromat and whose culture worships people of great weight; Burl leaves Utah, however, when he discovers Engel's interest in him is sexual. After losing a large amount of weight, Burl returns to Utah and wins the heart of a waitress, only to learn that, like Engel's, her interest in him is purely sexual. A member of a cult whose main purpose is procreation, she uses Burl to father a child and then throws him out. Burl finally returns to New York and faces the truth behind his weight problem. Akst was nominated for the PEN/Faulkner Award for fiction for St. Burl's Obituary, which drew comparisions to Dante and The Divine Comedy. Charles Monaghan stated, "With its delicately handled echoes of Dante, and its unblinking look at contemporary America, St. Burl's Obituary is ingenious and thought provoking…. Bizarre and ambitious the plot may be, but Akst tells his tale in no-nonsense, journalistic prose that keeps the story moving at a swift clip." Most critics commented on Akst's unusual and extended descriptions of food. A Publishers Weekly reviewer asserted that "Akst handles the labyrinthian plot twists deftly, employing a style that is at once literate and funny as he explores contemporary links among food, sex, identity and death."
Dean James (review date 1 February 1996)
SOURCE: A review of St. Burl's Obituary, in Library Journal, February 1, 1996, p. 96.
[In the following review, James asserts that "Akst offers an amusing story" in his St. Burl's Obituary.]
[In St. Burl's Obituary] Burl Bennett is an overweight obituary writer for a New York paper who stumbles into the aftermath of a mob killing in the restaurant he co-owns with an uncle. Eventually, intimidated by threats against his life, Burl leaves New York and heads out West on a bizarre odyssey. He winds up in Salt Lake City, where his weight continues to increase, until he literally gets stuck in the door of his hotel room. Burl has various adventures as his girth expands and contracts along with his economic status, and he explores every nuance of his own identity and what it means to be fat in contemporary America. The story comes full circle when Burl, having assumed someone else's identity, returns to New York, where he finally faces the issue of who he really is. Akst offers an amusing story; he writes lovingly about food, but Burl is by turns an engaging and repulsive hero. It's hard to predict what kind of audience this quirky novel will attract. Recommended for large fiction collections.
Publishers Weekly (review date 1 April 1996)
SOURCE: A review of St. Burl's Obituary, in Publishers Weekly, April 1, 1996, p. 58.
[In the following review, the critic states that "Akst handles the labyrinthian plot twists deftly, employing a style that is at once literate and funny as he explores contemporary links among food, sex, identity and death."]
Transcending both the usual boundaries of the genre and the standard flaws of first novels, Akst's comic debut [St. Burl's Obituary] begins as a thriller about a journalist who witnesses a mob killing, then slowly evolves into an exploration of identity as experienced by a delightful protagonist who will invite comparisons to John Kennedy Toole's Ignatius Reilly. Burl Bennett is the 300-pound journalistic force of nature who's been banished to the obituary desk at the New York Tribune because of his cantankerous response to being edited. En route to a typically gourmet meal, Burl stumbles into a gangland-style slaying. After a brief period of enduring mob threats—and suffering through a failed stab at romance with fellow Trib reporter Norma Ruifelen—Burl vanishes, heading west to Las Vegas and then to Utah, where he hopes to research his epic poem about the life of Mormon leader Joe Smith. Instead, he becomes the object of affection for a gay Salt Lake City laundromat owner with a fat fetish. Alarmed at his rapidly expanding girth, Burl undergoes stomach reduction surgery, then engages in a spirited affair with a female cultist. When that romance fails, he takes on a new identity and returns to New York, where he attends his own funeral and begins anew his affair with Norma, who remains unaware that her lover is, in fact, Burl. Los Angeles Times reporter Akst handles the labyrinthian plot twists deftly, employing a style that is at once literate and funny as he explores contemporary links among food, sex, identity and death. But the true star here is Burl, whose appetites, charm, intellect and Houdini-like ability to get himself in and out of tight situations will win readers' minds and hearts.
Charles Monaghan (review date 26 May 1996)
SOURCE: "The Weight of the Matter," in Washington Post Book World, May 26, 1996, p. 5.
[In the following review, Monaghan praises Akst's St. Burl's Obituary as "ingenious and thought-provoking."]
St. Burl's Obituary starts out like a thriller. The hero, Burl Bennett, savoring his approaching meal, enters a New York Italian restaurant where he brushes by a small, intense man who looks as if "he must have just killed somebody." And indeed he has. In the dining room are three bodies, victims of a Mafia rubout. The staff is in the kitchen, cowering face down on the floor.
But despite this opening, the novel is only tangentially a thriller. Rather, it is a map of the contemporary world, a black comedy that carries Burl, fearfully fleeing the Mafia, into the belly of the American beast. A newspaperman specializing in thoughtful obituaries, Burl is also a writer who has been working on an epic poem, in Dantesque terza rima, about the killing of Mormon leader Joseph Smith in Illinois. (There are echoes throughout the novel of Dante and The Divine Comedy). Burl's descent into Hell retraces Smith's journey from Palmyra, N.Y., where Mormonism was founded, to Nauvoo, Ill. Then Burl pushes on, as the Mormons did, to Utah, the American utopia.
But neither is this picaresque journey the main business of Akst's book. At its core is Burl's personal Purgatory, a feverish wrestling match with his immense appetite, a mystery in its own right because his parents are so thin and abstemious. The novel lavishes continuous loving detail on Burl's prodigious meals at restaurants and at home. Fat drips, sugar abounds, the scale groans. Burl is the American consumer par excellence.
In Utah, Burl discovers his own utopias. The first is friendship with Engel, the son of Mormon immigrants from the island of Tonga. In Tonga, the royal family is admired for its fatness. Engel, derided by a relative as "Mr. Tongan Culture, the Franz Fanon of the islands," is deeply unhappy because he himself weighs only 150 pounds (his German...

Phoebe-Lou Adams (review date June 1996)
SOURCE: A review of St. Burl's Obituary, in The Atlantic Monthly, June, 1996, p. 126.
[In the following review, Adams complains that Akst's St. Burl's Obituary is "ultimately disappointing."]
Mr. Akst's novel starts with a provocative problem: how does a spectacularly obese man disappear? Burleigh Bennett, an obituary writer for a New York newspaper, lumbers out for a late dinner at the restaurant he has inherited and walks into a gangland execution. Unfortunately, he gets a good face-to-face look at the hit man. It becomes advisable to vanish. His adventures on the run are grotesque, elaborately gastronomic, and ultimately disappointing—at least for the reader. After all the ingeniously contrived to-do, one expects something more than a picnic in a graveyard.
Stewart M. Lindh (review date 11 August 1996)
SOURCE: "Shedding the Weight of the Past," in Los Angeles Times Book Review, August 11, 1996, p. 8.
[In the following review, Lindh lauds Akst's St. Burl's Obituary as "a remarkable novel."]
In St. Burl's Obituary, Daniel Akst has crafted a remarkable novel that gives life to Cyril Connolly's adage that "imprisoned in every fat man, a thin one is wildly signaling to be let out."
The protagonist, Burl Bennett, is marooned inside a morbid obesity. A prolonged celibate, his only joy occurs with fork in hand. Burl, 35, writes obituaries for a New York newspaper, and he ascribes all sensations to taste. On the way to repast, he imagines the...

I still remember when I began to hear about Richard Davidson's work. More to the point, I remember the warmth and excitement with which the immunologist Esther Sternberg first told me about him. He inspired her courage to align her insights from science and life. Later I would pick up the esteem and affection in which many wise people hold "Richie," as they all call him — including Matthieu Ricard, the French-born Tibetan Buddhist monk, who brought the notion of happiness alive for me in a whole new way.
Richard Davidson has studied Matthieu Ricard's brain. His body of work in brain imaging has helped shape the young field of neuroscience. And it shines a new light on elemental understandings of human character, mental and emotional health, and moral development across the life span.
As he tells it, he had a fascination with the mind — its mysterious power to define our very lives — from childhood on. And he was always scientifically-oriented, interested in exploring the mind in terms of biology. But as a young scientist, he also became aware of the limits of the tools at hand. As I was preparing to interview him, I found an academic work he edited in 1980 on the "psychobiology of consciousness." And it was striking to realize that even thirty years ago, EEG biofeedback was the best researchers could do in monitoring what was happening inside the brain. This was the world before the widespread use of MRI and other technologies that have unlocked frontiers.
In this same period, Richard Davidson had also become interested in meditation. As a graduate student, he traveled to India and attended his first meditation retreat there in the 1970s. To this day he doesn't call himself Buddhist, but he does have a daily contemplative practice. He experienced this as personally and spiritually gratifying, and the scientist in him was intrigued by this ancient discipline of observing one's own mind, as it were, from the inside.
He was "in the closet" with this interest for a long time, as he tells it, because Western medicine cast a wary eye on anything that might be deemed spiritual and therefore unscientific. But one day in 1992, he received a fax from the Dalai Lama, inviting him Dharamsala, India to probe the scientific causes of human happiness and compassion. Davidson eventually brought Tibetan Buddhist monks into the laboratory that he directs at the University of Wisconsin, to see whether their meditation practices might alter the very physiology of the brain.
The answer, as it turned out, was yes. Some of the most dramatic observable findings are not yet explainable. For example, these monks have a much higher rate of gamma wave oscillations than has ever been captured before. It is not precisely known how such oscillations correlate to life, behavior, and consciousness. But high gamma wave oscillations do correlate generally with clarity of mental perception — to synthesize and sort among multiple inputs, and to attend to granular aspects of experience.
These results from Richard Davidson's laboratory provided a new and solid piece of evidence that our brains are open to change across the lifespan. We don't reach a stage in adolescence or young adulthood where our minds have finished forming. There is a far more fluid, lifelong interplay between emotions, behaviors, biology and even genetics than was previously suspected. The name for this — "neuroplasticity" — masks the very hopeful and practical power it puts back in the realm of human choice.
Richard Davidson is now aspiring to understand this more deeply and channel it more broadly at the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds, which he founded in 2008. He knows that practicing meditation, and cultivating positive qualities like compassion and kindness, can actually rewire us physically. So might this, he is asking and testing, reveal new avenues of approach to conditions like ADHD, autism, even asthma? Might it show us elemental ways to equip children and adolescents to be more self-aware and compassionate in their interactions with others?
I'm also intrigued by how this work might challenge and enrich basic tenets of Western psychology. Richard Davidson tells of an early encounter with Buddhist practitioners seeking — and failing — to understand why Western psychology's basic definition of the human emotional range is overwhelmingly focused on disorder. Is it really the best we can do, Davidson himself began to ask, to have a sophisticated understanding of anxiety and psychosis but only a primitive grasp of compassion?
I'm left wondering how this science might reframe and enrich things like therapy, child-rearing, education, and treatment of mental disorders in the years to come. I think it will be transformative. And as Richard Davidson says near the end of our conversation, the notion of transformation is compatible with the heart of science he has always known and revered. People like Richard Davidson recall us to this, and open a larger sense of what it might mean, to our common edification.

Hi Norma,Interesting...what do you suppose that we are eating I took a look at the nutritional content and all that was listed was 2 g of carb??? Kind of neat concept. Are you thinking about doing this for your pies at the farmer's market?

When are the industrial leaders going to realize that shooting for a higher profit margin will be the demise of US production as is already evidenced?
Just throwing this out there. Anyone notice it's a bitch to repair things anymore because it wasn't designed by the guy the used to fix them?

Over the span of ten years being a Girl Scout, I have many special memories dedicated to selling and of course eating Girl Scout cookies!
My all-time favorite cookies are the Peanut Butter Patties. My reason being, not only because of its soft chocolaty outside and its peanut butter covered crispy vanilla cookie on the inside, but also the experiences associated with this one cookie. The first campouts with my troop, our cookie selling booths at the flea market, the fun nights associated to "trying the products" with Mrs. Libby's delicious pink lemonade to find our favorites during our meetings, and the telling of my experiences to younger girls now that I am a senior.
Ever since the 1930's when the first cookies were sold, Girl Scouts across the world can now take pride, leadership, and dedication not just to win a cool beach towel or an MP3 player but to spread the happiness and joy of being a Girl Scout through a small box of scrumptious Peanut Butter Patties.

Great Compass...problem with suction cup
By Melissa

About Me Educator

Comments about Learning Resources Bullseye® Demonstration Compass:
This is a great product and a much easier compass to use than many board compasses, but the suction cup that holds it to the board was so strong that it started tearing apart after only about a week of use.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

We work to provide you with a multidisciplinary team approach to address any medical, social, emotional and physical conditions. We have physicians who specialize in sports medicine, as well as variety of general pediatric orthopaedic conditions including:
Cerebral palsy is basically defined as a movement disorder. Children with this noncommunicable disease have typically sustained a brain injury that prevents them from using some of their muscles in a normal way. This can lead to muscle tightness and spasm, involuntary movement, disrupted mobility and impaired sight, hearing or speech. Causes of the disease include a lack of oxygen before, during or after birth, bleeding in the brain or a head trauma resulting from a birth injury.
An estimated 500,000 people in the United States have some degree of cerebral palsy, making it the top developmental disability disease in the nation. There is no cure for cerebral palsy, but physicians and specialists work with children to help them gain as much physical control of their bodies as they can to help them lead productive lives.
Our physicians work with speech, physical and occupational therapists. An orthotist is available to prepare and adjust wheelchairs and other adaptive equipment while you wait.
The goal of treatment of clubfoot is to reduce or eliminate all of the components of the deformity so the child will have a functional, mobile, and painless foot in normal position. To achieve that goal, treatment consists of serial casting on a weekly basis, surgery, and splinting. The casting is done for approximately six weeks. Immediately before casting, the foot is massaged and manipulated to stretch the contractures.
In about 90 percent of babies with clubfoot, the Achilles tendon needs to be cut. This procedure is done before the last casting. It is called a tenotomy and is done in the clinic, under a local anesthetic with a thin scalpel. Consequently, you may see a few drops of blood on the plaster. The tendon reattaches in two to three weeks as it heals.
Following surgery please notify your doctor of any of the following:
A healthy spine supports the body, protects the spinal cord, allows flexibility and movement, and provides points of attachment for muscles and ligaments. The spine has three normal curves that form a natural "S" shape of the vertebral column. There are 33 total vertebrae that form five regions of a spinal column: seven cervical, 12 thoracic, five lumbar, five fused vertebrae (sacrum), and four smaller fused vertebrae (coccyx). The "S" shape occurs as a child develops into an upright position. During growth and development, the cervical and lumbar vertebrae form a posterior curved-in appearance, while developing thoracic vertebrae form a posterior curved-out appearance.
When the spine develops in an abnormal lateral position, the curve is termed scoliosis. True scoliosis is diagnosed when the lateral curve is greater than 10 degrees. Four types are identified:
Treatment options include observation, bracing and surgery.
Skeletal dysplasias are a group of genetic disorders characterized by short stature and frequently associated with a range of orthopaedic problems. Many children with skeletal dysplasias have a variety of medical and social concerns that cannot adequately be addressed by single visits with a pediatrician or internist. To meet their more complex needs, these children require ongoing coordinated treatment by specialists in the field. For this reason, the Missouri Skeletal Dysplasia Clinic at MU Children's Hospital offers patients a unique opportunity to have a comprehensive assessment performed by a variety of specialists.
Our multidisciplinary approach provides a forum for diagnosis, prevention and treatment. Most patients who attend the Missouri Skeletal Dysplasia Clinic will be seen on a regular basis, depending on individual needs.
Children are seen by health-care providers from a variety of disciplines, such as genetics, orthopaedics, radiology, nutrition, nursing, physical therapy and occupational therapy.

Pacific Partnership 2012, anchored near the North Sulawesi island of Talaud in Indonesia as I write this early on June 13, has suffered a minor setback but enjoyed great success. The sea rose up unexpectedly around two o'clock on the morning of June 12 while we were sleeping, and badly damaged the ramp and platform we use to access our small utility boats, which carry us to and from shore. Though we lost our primary means of getting off and on the USNS Mercy, all the months of contingency planning paid off, and every affected group on the ship responded brilliantly. Since this year's schedule in Indonesia requires Mercy to move constantly from location to location, all of our medical and engineering teams were in their island locations when the waves struck. None of us, either shipboard personnel or the local people on shore, were able to meet and participate in ribbon cuttings and closing celebrations on the island of Sangihe, but thankfully all mission projects and clinics remained on schedule.
Since all our surgeries are taking place on board Mercy, patients and their escorts weren't impacted by the circumstances. As mentioned in a previous DipNote piece, all surgical patients, accompanied by an escorting family member or friend, boarded Mercy in the city of Manado, North Sulawesi, on either June 1-2, or June 6-7, and remained on board for their surgeries during the four to seven-day transit period while Mercy visited other islands. A fair number of those patients are children, such as the four-month-old girl pictured above (following cleft palate surgery). In a more demanding case, a team of surgeons joined with Indonesian doctors to remove a growth from a small boy's face which threatened his sight and possibly his life. It is impossible to be part of Pacific Partnership and not marvel at the priorities and events that have produced this particular opportunity in the lives of these individuals. These children's futures will be far less traumatic, potentially much brighter as a result of their surgeries.
I must make particular mention of the surgeons who operated in these cases. Even though Mercy is three football-fields long, the winds and waves tossed the ship around on the ocean, so the surgeons had to contend with a moving platform. Their skills are to be applauded.
Our planning team is also adeptly addressing their own challenges. In a long meeting the morning of June 13, the team determined a method to move all patients and sponsors, about 250 people, from the ship in Manado on June 14 and 15 in preparation for departure to the Philippines. Since Mercy no longer has a sea platform, one of her ten lifeboats will become an elevator, which will lower patients and others to the surface of the water, where they can transfer to a utility boat and be taken to the pier. Unfortunately, this is a one-way elevator, and anyone returning to Mercy from shore will need to enter the ship via a rope ladder. Our PP12 advance team in Calbayog, Samar, Philippines, has leased a barge to be in place upon our arrival there on June 18 so we can walk on and off the ship normally.
I'll continue to keep readers posted of Pacific Partnership's journey, and am grateful for your feedback and comments.

Labor Day is right around the corner, and according to AAA Travel, 34.1 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home during the upcoming holiday. This is a 4.2 percent increase from the 32.7 million people who traveled last year. Holiday air travel is expected to increase as well by nearly three percent to 2.61 million.
What is the cause of this increase in Labor Day travel? AAA predicts it's due to higher consumer spending and the improving housing market. The Labor Day holiday travel period, defined as Thursday, Aug. 29 to Monday, Sept. 2, is a popular time for travelers to take off because of the long weekend and typically nice weather.
How much do travelers usually spend on their long-weekend vacations? AAA reports the average traveler is expected to spend $804 and travel a round-trip distance of 594 miles.
In fact, more than 2.61 million leisure travelers will arrive at their destination by air. If those passengers experience flight delays or cancellations, or their luggage is damaged, lost or stolen, travel insurance can provide coverage.
If you're one of these travelers heading out for Labor Day, make sure you're protected against the unexpected of travel. It is important add travel insurance to your travel package because it protects your travel investment, provides medical coverage and can make the difference between a disaster and a great vacation.
If you have questions about how travel insurance can protect you and your family on your next vacation, please call us at 888-885-7233 or leave a comment below. We'd be happy to answer your questions.

Iron County eyes office consolidation
By NIKKI YOUNK
Staff Writer
CRYSTAL FALLS – Iron County is continuing to research the possibility of consolidating its clerk and register of deeds positions in time for the 2016 general election.
At a public hearing on Wednesday, the current clerk and register of deeds voiced their concerns about the issue to the Iron County Board of Commissioners.
Iron County Clerk Joan Luhtanen said that even with technological advances, her staff's work load has increased over the years.
"The state and federal election agencies are demanding more and more layers of reporting, and also requiring the county clerks to do more work than in the past," she explained.
Newer duties include teaching election inspector classes, reporting election results in a timeline specified by the state, and implementing an election finance program that tracks finances of local candidates.
Luhtanen worried that adding the register of deeds' duties to the clerk's office might cause staff to have less time to help residents.
In addition, she asked the board where it plans to locate a consolidated clerk/register of deeds office. The current offices are not near each other.
"So I believe, prior to the board deciding if consolidation should occur, it would be prudent and beneficial to research how consolidation will be accomplished," said Luhtanen.
Iron County Register of Deeds Joetta Grieg asked the board why it was considering consolidation now, since a future board could easily reverse the decision before it would take effect at the beginning of 2017.
The next county board elections will be in November 2014.
Civil counsel Steve Tinti confirmed that a new board in 2015 could change the current board's decision. However, the new board would have to go through the same process to do so.
That process involves holding at least one public hearing, making a decision on the issue between 10 and 30 days after the final public hearing, and requiring a supermajority approval of the board.
Tinti and Iron County Administrator Sue Clisch pointed out some arguments in favor of consolidation. They noted that Iron County's population is decreasing, and that most counties in the Upper Peninsula already have consolidated clerk/register of deeds offices.
Commissioner Jim Brennan was also in favor of consolidation. He said that if a decision is made now, there will be more time to prepare for the change.
Board Chair Carl Lind said that if consolidation does occur, he hopes the board in charge will not lay off any employees.
The board approved to adjourn the public hearing without making a decision on the issue.

very good hemp seeds
Manitoba Harvest, Shelled Hemp Seed
Posted by Reviewer3303340 on Jan 24, 2012
From what I've read about hemp hearts, or hemp seed, I believe it is a healthy food, and I feel alert and energetic after I eat it. However, it seems to have some inedible stuff in it. Maybe it's pieces of the hulls -- I don't know, but I'm eating it anyway because I don't have time to find it and remove it. So I end up finding it when my teeth bite down into some hard, gritty stuff, which I estimate to be around 3% of the contents.
I recommend it

First time

It is the first time I bought shelled hemp seeds so I really do not have a comparison yet. They taste nice and there is no other seed in there (does happen sometimes). The only drawback is that the zip lock came off the bag after a few days. Not really a problem though, just to mention.
as expected

In our newest sporting series, palmbeachillustrated.com has called on golf pros from some of the area's top clubs, resorts, courses and schools to give aspiring players a better handle on their golf game. Teeing off with our first bit of golfing advice, we enlisted the help of Matt Denzer, director of instruction for the David Leadbetter Golf Academy at PGA National Resort & Spa. Denzer speaks to the finer points of bunker basics and being a better wind player below.
♦ ♦ ♦
DENZER: This year, the annual PGA Championship will be held at The Ocean Course on Kiawah Island Golf Resort. While the course has a tremendous history and will be stretched out to more than 7,600 yards, this will not be the only test for the players. Two areas of the game that will prove to be a huge test will be the players' ability to control the trajectory of the golf ball in wind and their bunker play. Here are a few things you can do to improve your game in these areas:
Bunker basics: The most common fault I see with players in the bunkers is the tendency to try and lift the ball out. This often results in thin or fat bunker shots. For more consistency, set at least 60 percent of your weight on your front side at address, open up the clubface and swing to a full follow through. This should provide you with a more reliable, consistent shot.
Trajectory control: It's surprising how often players tend to under-club in the wind. One key fact to understand when playing in the wind is the harder you swing, the more the ball spins—thus, the shorter it travels. To become a good wind player, try these two changes: First, start by grabbing three or four higher clubs then normal (with no or slight wind). Then swing with a shorter back swing and follow through. As you get better with these two changes, you will be surprised how well the ball pierces the wind.
If you have a golf question you would like answered by Matt Denzer, email the online editor.
About Matt
Having joined the Leadbetter team in 2003, Matt Denzer is helping improve Palm Beach County's golf game one golfer at a time. As director of instruction at the David Leadbetter Academy, located at PGA National Resort & Spa, Denzer is not only responsible for the day-to-day operations of the academy but also leads lessons and classes for students, from weekend warriors to aspiring pros. The academy is all encompassing, with lessons and classes on topics such as physical conditioning, practice technique, course management, equipment selection, the mechanics of the game, using V1 Pro Software and video analysis and a full swing analysis and instruction. "The most gratifying part of my job is when that light-bulb moment happens with a student, when it just clicks after working so hard," Denzer says.
As a member of the South Florida PGA Section, when not on the links teaching a class, Denzer can be found knocking a few around area courses playing PGA events—a chance to "dust off the clubs," he says, and hit the links with area professionals and test each others' game.
What's in the bag?
Sponsored by Callaway Golf, Denzer has a full bag of tricks from one of the giants of the game. Totting the RAZR series, these clubs play as good as they look:
- Callaway RAZR Fit Driver, 8.5 degree
- Callaway RAZR Fit 3wood, 15 degree
- Callaway RAZR X hybrid, 21 degree
- Callaway RAZR X, tour irons 4-pw
- Callaway Forged Wedges: 60, 55 and 50
- Odyssey Black Series, # 2 putter
