Not such a nice host. There were no blankets. When i asked for that, the host tried to convince me to do without.
Appartment is tight and old. The shower wasnt working properly.
Nice not very big flat. Very small kitchen and bathroom. No view from the window.
But. Decoration is cool, design, which Maxime have made is very stylish!
It was a pleasant stay. Maxime is very good person, we have contact everytime we need a help.
I hope that new TV and wifi will wrok next time ! :)
The apartment has everything you need. But more important is the contact with Maxime. We didn't met, but the contact was good, personal. Thxs Maxime
It is a small apartment, but enough for one person or a couple who want to stay in the center of Paris. It is quite and in a fantastic condition. Maxime who is the owner is a great anfitrion, polite and good with tenors. If you are a reasonable person and take care of the staff as it was yours, then you will not have any problem with the deposit. I give him and his apartment 5 stars in this survey. Kind regards,
Everything perfect!
Very nice appartment in a amazing part of Paris.
Walk in a nice route to the most amazing streets, Notredamme, Opera.
Shops, Bakeries, Retaurants around the corner.
Maxime is a GREAT host! and deffinately a place to come back to!
Thanks Maxime!!
PERFECT LOCATION!! Maxims flat was perfect. We enjoyed the sourroundings as any other Parisienne. Boulangeries, boutiques, restaurants, bars, everything within 5 minutes walk. I personally recommend this flat to anyone who wants to experience the non typical tourist environment! Loved it!!
Maxime's cosy apartment for two was just that and so much more. Beautiful and stylish with everything needed for a chic Paris stay. The area was one of the best we could have stayed in, the locals in cafe and bars were so helpful, everyone in the area spoke to us in English when they realised our French was not so good. The food around here was excellent and not a lot of tourists , mainly very stylish locals . We walked to most placesas it was very central . The hosts went out of their way to be very helpful . I would highly recommend this apartment , we had a lovely time here
Nice studio close to the centre of Paris... You can have a nice walk to centre or take the tube. The studio is small but enought to visit Paris,and the decoration is so nice. Maxime was a great host, no problem in check in or check out. We recommend it.
Thank you for a very fine and problem free stay.
The apartment is overall a great experience and very recommendable! The arrangement with Maxime was perfect, no waiting time or problem at either "check in" or "check out".
The apartment looks exactly like the pictures and is very clean. Cozy place with fine facilities. Perfect location for walking to Montmartre and the surrounding areas + non noisy location. Especially close to the shopping district around Opéra.
We enjoyed our stay a lot and hope to come back some day.

Freedom camping legislation is being described as the moral panic of our time by the Greens.
The Government has labelled the Greens hypocrites for not supporting a bill which introduces fines and other measures to combat the freedom camping problem.
The tourism industry was already working on some changes so MP Kevin Hague believes the legislation is heavy-handed and unnecessary.
"I wonder if the freedom campers of today are the boyracers of yesterday," he told Newstalk ZB. "We know that there's a widespread concern about the issue and this bill gives Government the appearance of doing something about it."

Eco Homes & Green Living in the 21st Century
Welcome to the Green Town Revolution
In response to the Eco living challenges to individuals and businesses presented by global warming, the Trinity formed a project called Green Town Revolution to help businesses and individuals create and track change simply, with a measurable reward and offset system for reducing CO2 emissions and adopting a more green lifestyle.
This system is designed to raise the profile of those companies and individuals that are making a positive difference to the environment. The emphasis is placed on local offsetting and recognisable initiatives to create a clearly identifiable chain of responsibility and effect.
Green Town Revolution is scheduled for a prototype launch in St Leonards and Hastings and a roll out across the UK in 2011 .
"Ultimately we wish the world to go Carbon Reductive™. This means we offset more than our emissions, thus taking out excess CO2 from the air. Still any reduction via behaviour changes and offsetting is a step in the right direction. We want to get people excited about offsetting. Going green can actually be a lot of fun." Simon Hinton
"The evolving movement towards global solutions and sustainability inspires me. I'd like to make a difference and help others make a difference. "Danny Rampling
An application to trademark the term 'Carbon Reductive™' has proved successful.

There are many different solutions, and the problem is trivial
if we are allowed to repeat numbers; so the challenge is to
complete the square without using any number more than once (but
you will need to use negative numbers if the numbers in the top row
add to less than 34).

Bounty Lawsuit Filed
The complaint contains about the most succinct summary of the event I have seen yet:
Re: Bounty Lawsuit Filed
28 Attachment(s)
ohboy, here we go....
Re: Bounty Lawsuit Filed
I have downloaded the Complaint from the U.S. District Court in N.Y. and uploaded it to my Picasa/Google web page, if anyone wants to take a look at it:
Re: Bounty Lawsuit Filed
The gist of the matter for SailNet members, paragraphs 40 and 41:
"40. Not only was the decision to go to sea with this wooden boat – originally
built as a movie prop – reckless, but so too was the two hour notice given to the crew. There was
no time to allow them to grasp the full implications of the storm, or to confer with family, friends
or knowledgeable individuals. Nonetheless, and because the entire crew- excepting Mate
Svendsen - trusted Walbridge implicitly– all agreed to make the voyage. The crew, for the most
part, lacked adequate experience to comprehend the perils of the seas that awaited
as seen in Exhs. 2, 3 & 4 which show their maritime experiences:
a. Ten crewmembers (63%) had been aboard Bounty for less than 8 months,
b. Six of those had never been aboard any other tall ship -including 3rd mate Cleveland.
c. 2nd mate Sanders had one summer's experience as a summer intern, and no other tall ship
d. Nine crewmembers had never sailed on another tall ship.
e. The engineer, Barksdale, had a total of 4 days sea time on Bounty and had no experience
or training whatsoever on marine diesel engines or generators.
f. The average total tall-ship experience for a deckhand was 1 year. The average Bounty
experience for a deckhand was six months.
41. Captain Walbridge, who was focused on the rewards lying at St. Petersburg,
recklessly ignored SANDY'S size, scope and intensity. He also grossly overestimated, to the
point of recklessness, BOUNTY'S seaworthiness and overestimated his professional
seamanship and weather forecasting abilities to the point of arrogant hubris."
Re: Bounty Lawsuit Filed
...and more, paragraph 44, wherein counsel alleges Walbridge was "mentally detached from reality":
"44. Notwithstanding the extensive news and media coverage devoted to SANDY
and warnings provided by the NHC and Marine Advisories, neither HANSON nor BOUNTY
ORGANIZATION countermanded Walbridge's reckless sailing plan. More importantly,
HANSON and BOUNTY ORGANIZATON were on notice that Walbridge had made bizarre
public statements in a video interview which aired on television which directly pointed not
only to his lack of competence but to the threat he presented as master of BOUNTY.10 During
this interview, which was made aboard BOUNTY, Walbridge totally dismissed the dangers of
hurricanes and bad weather, stating" "there is no such thing as bad weather only different
kinds of weather". He also compared a hurricane as something similar to a thrilling
amusement ride; " we chase hurricanes" …. "you get a good ride out of it".
Notwithstanding the "red flags" and clear import of his opinions, HANSEN and BOUNTY
ORGANIZATION failed to remove Walbridge as master. Neither did they take any steps to
investigate the incident. Moreover, during the ill-fated voyage, emails and messages sent by
Walbridge, describing BOUNTY's rapidly deteriorating condition as she encountered
hurricane SANDY, showed that Walbridge continued to be mentally detached from reality."
Re: Bounty Lawsuit Filed
Walbridge's incompetence during the storm in paragraph 49:
"49. On October 27th, 08:00 , seas were 8-10 feet and winds were 20 kts. As the day
progressed, BOUNTY'S unseaworthiness began to manifest. At noon, Chris Barksdale, the only
engineer aboard, was hurled across the deck injuring his right hand. By 16:00 (4:00pm) sea water
was rising in the bilges faster than it could be pumped overboard. At 19:00 (7:00pm) seas were
15 feet and winds 30-40 kts. Walbridge ordered the hydraulic pumps to be put into operation.
They were found to be inoperative due to corrosion and lack of maintenance. By 20:00 (8:00pm)
crewmembers were needed constantly in the engine room to operate the bilge pumps. Violent
rolling of the vessel caused the pumps to lose suction and prime and debris in the bilges caused
clogging of strainers. Walbridge and other crewmembers attempted repairs of the back-up
hydraulic pumps. At that point in time, it was clear that BOUNTY was taking on water faster
than her deficient pumps could handle. She was flooding. Despite these events, Walbridge did not send out a "Mayday" or a "Pan Pan".13 Nor did Walbridge, HANSEN or BOUNTY
ORGANIZATION notify the USCG as required by 46 CFR 4.05-1."
Re: Bounty Lawsuit Filed
Despite one's opinion of events, this legal action is going to be a slam dunk, from the looks of it. If they have insurance, their carrier is undoubtedly negotiating a full payout of the policy limit right now. Sounded like the owner had deep pockets, so I'll bet they are going for the jugular and looking past the insurance.
I'm also going to forecast that many who felt the Captain didn't deserve quick judgement will be more likely to toss the owner to the lions immediately. Both should be in the pit, IMO (metaphorically, I fully realize the Captain's fate has been sealed)
Re: Bounty Lawsuit Filed
Yep, mom is asking for a cool $50 million, but I suspect she really wants recognition of the injustice done. I know I would...
The quick judgment was absolutely correct and warranted by the facts as they developed.
Re: Bounty Lawsuit Filed
As one who urged waiting until the facts came in before passing judgement (and took a lot of heat for it), I think I've heard enough true facts from the investigation testimony. In my opinion, it's game over. This lawsuit will be a slam dunk. The main question will be determining appropriate damages.
Re: Bounty Lawsuit Filed
A key issue was whether there was any communication between owner and Master. Admiralty law, as far as I know, protects the owner from decisions made by the Captain as long as there is no communication and the owner does not participate in the decision.
The legal defense will probably be:
1) The ship wasn't perfect but was legal and adequate for what she was doing aside from heading into a hurricane.
2) Wallbridge took off without consultation before the owner could do anything to stop him and recall was fruitless. The haste with which he left works in the owner's favor here.
Phone records are going to play a big role in this case which promises to be as interesting as the Arias trial to people more interested in marine events than KY Jelly.
Normally, I would expect a settlement in the blink of an eye but I suspect that the mother wants more than money from this. A settlement would almost certainly prevent her from ever speaking about it again.

My media studies : the history and future of ideas
Hartley, John (2009) My media studies : the history and future of ideas. Television and New Media, 10(1), pp. 69-71.
In the context of a multi-paper special issue of TVNM on the future of media studies, this paper traces the tradition of 'active audience' theory in TV scholarship, arguing that it has much to offer in the study of new digital media, especially an approach to user-created content and dynamics of change. The paper argues for a 'cultural science' approach to 'active audiences' in order to analyse and understand how non-professionals and consumers contribute to the growth of knowledge in complex open media systems.

st: clustering at 2 levels

st: clustering at 2 levels
Wed, 23 Apr 2008 16:54:21 -0400 (EDT)
Hi Stata-listers,
Is there an easy way to introduce clustering at multiple levels when using
ivreg and ivtobit?
My two levels of clusters are village (vilid) and meteorological station
(id). Villages are randomly sampled from the population of villages. There
are 21 meteorological stations and I have matched one of these to each
village by minimum distance.
I tried to do 2-stage clustering using svyset <svyset id|| vilid> but got
the error "Note: stage 1 is sampled with replacement, all further stages
will be ignored".
I checked the Stata FAQ and apparently the solution to this problem is to
include a finite population correction for the highest level. But an FPC
on the met stations doesn't make sense, since these are not sampled. In
fact these are really more like strata (they cover mutually exclusive
territory). However these are not true strata and I think it would be
wrong to treat them as such.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sweet 16 Racing Nationals
I wanted to inform you that the sailing Nationals for the class of sailboats called Sweet 16''s is being held at Lake Jacomo in Blue Springs on September 6 & 7 of 2003. This is a rotating Regatta and this year it is in Missouri. I thought the community might like to know that such a prestigious sailing event is being held right in their backyard, so to speak. Additionally, several KU Students plan to participate. Plus this is a sport not usually covered and might make a good story for your audience, change of pace so to speak. The Commodore of the Sweet 16 fleet is Rick Blowers and his home phone number is (816) 228-2608 and cell phone is (816) 392-2878. The Vice Commodore is Leonard Hock and his email is firstname.lastname@example.com and home phone is (816) 942-2301. All the info I have is attached. Ricks email is rblowe! firstname.lastname@example.com. The Commodore is kind of like the president of our sailing association. Our website is www.s16.org if you would like more specifics about our boats and officers of the club. As I mentioned, we are looking for boats from NE, MO, KS, IA, OK and possibly TX and AR. Thank you for your interest and support for Kansas City Sailing.

More Bend-La Pine students plugging in for class
Online school program quadruples in two years
BEND, Ore. - Forget the bus stop -- the Stilson kids get ready for school by piling into mom's big bed.
Nicole Stilson's three school-aged kids are part of growing number of home-schooled families in Central Oregon choosing public school for the first time -- through an online platform.
"It's interactive and fun, and they send you everything," Stilson said. "This pallet shows up with science beakers, and rocks and minerals, and seeds. Free."
Only in its second year of offering online classes to each grade level, "our enrollments have really almost quadrupled from where they were from a year before," Shay Mikalson, Bend-La Pine Schools' executive director of curriculum and technology, said Tuesday.
The district has offered some online classes to high school students for nearly a decade.
But now, even 7 1/2-year-old Drew Stilson can take history classes online.
"You learn about the Greek gods, ancient Rome and a lot of fun stuff like that," Drew said.
Last year, the district launched a program through an online school called K-12, offering a variety of free online classes and school options for every grade.
This year, school officials said about 15 percent of Bend La-Pine students will take some sort of online course.
"We anticipate to serve over 2,000 students," Mikalson said. "The vast majority of those take most of their schooling in one of our buildings, so they might want to do math in their building, but also stretch themselves to the next level of math online."
Mikalson calls it the best of both worlds -- and for home-school families, it's a program going beyond the computer and books.
"They can participate in the field trips or the athletics, or those other things that we know make school really special for students," he said.
And Stilson likes exposing her kids to outside instruction.
"They put on a little headset, and the teacher pops up and they just kind of dialogue to make sure they're on track," Stilson said.
A program challenging Drew while allowing him to do schoolwork with his favorite people.
"I like that we always stay together and read books about what we're supposed to be learning about," he said.
Mikalson said the district does get money from the state for each online student. However, he said that money goes right back into the program.
He said the school district does not save money by offering online classes.

Skip Heather Nedohin was accompanied by third Beth Iskiw, second Jessica Mair and lead Laine Peters as they won at the Enmax Centre to capture a medal.
Canada had lost to the same Korean team in Saturday's three-four play-off.
It is Nedohin's second career bronze, having played as a third for Cathy King's team at the 1998 World Championships.
"This has been an amazing experience," she said. "We're just really glad that we worked together as a unit - it's been a strong week, a hard week, we've learned a lot about our team in adversity.
"And we're really proud to have worn the maple leaf here in Lethbridge."
Korean skip Ji-Sun Kim said: "We did not win today and we're sad that we lost, but Canada played a good game.
"Nobody really knows about curling in Korea, today's game was being broadcast in Korea, so more people will be watching and learning about curling now, and hopefully we'll have more support in the future."
Teams earn Olympic qualifying points at these and the 2013 Worlds, with the top seven - hosts Russia receive an automatic entry and are therefore ignored - competing at Sochi 2014. Scotland's points are taken by Britain.
An additional two nations will compete in Russia at an Olympic qualifying event to be held in December 2013. All nations that competed at the 2011, 2012 and 2013 Worlds are eligible for this if they have not already secured their spot.

1995, by the American College of Chest Physicians
The contribution of body fat distribution to sleep-disordered breathing in women has not been examined in detail (to our knowledge). Fifty women under 65 years of age were diagnosed as having obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by all-night polysomnography in a 6-month period. Twenty-five women underwent body fat measurements of skin folds and circumferences. The 12 premenopausal and 13 postmenopausal women did not differ in regard to apnea hypopnea index (AHI), SaO2 nadir, body mass index (BMI), or anthropometric measurements. The AHI for these 25 patients was related to the severity of obesity assessed by triceps and subscapular skin folds, the sum of the skin folds, waist circumference, and BMI. The SaO2 nadir correlated with triceps and subscapular skin folds, the sum of the skin folds, and neck skin fold. Clinical features of this same group of 25 women were then compared with those of 45 men with OSA previously described by our laboratory. The women, despite similar age, had less severe OSA than the men (AHI of 34.4±5.4 vs 51.1±4.9, p<0.05). Despite similar BMIs and waist circumference, the men had evidence of a greater degree of upper body obesity with a larger subscapular skin fold thickness, waist-hip ratio, and neck circumference. In addition, for a given degree of upper-body obesity, men had more severe sleep apnea. These findings may explain, at least in part, the greater severity of OSA in the men.

Salvatore is so polite and helpful, answers all the questions
Within minutes.
The only bad thing you have to leave for home.
Thank you so much, Salvatore
Great apartment with the best view of the ocean and a friendly staff welcoming their guests. The only downside was that they don't have a system to take care of guests luggage after checkout time at 10am. If your flight is later but still want to have a relaxed day before the flight, you must find lockers for a fee in the city or the airport (14 euros per bag in Terminal 2 or 1 euro per hour in the city). It should be included for the money spent. Other than that, great place.
Thrilled with these past three days in Nice: we appreciated the quality of this apartment, bright, quiet, immaculate sharpness, and offers free Wi-Fi and air conditioning; the sea and the bus stop nearby, and many shops at the foot of the building, and parking in a congested city where parking is complicated, it is appreciated!
Enchantés de ces 3 jours passés à Nice : nous avons apprécié la qualité de cet appartement, clair, calme, d'une netteté impeccable, et doté de la Wi-Fi et air conditionné ; la mer et l'arrêt de bus à deux pas, et de nombreux commerces au pied de l'immeuble, ainsi qu'un parking dans une ville engorgée où le stationnement est compliqué, c'est appréciable !
The location was perfect, the apartment was clean, modern and excellently located. There are many restaurants in the area and the beach is just 2 minutes away from the apartment.
Unfortunately the apartment wasn't prepared (even though he asked me how many people I would travel with) - the bedding had to be done by us, which was quite annoying because that way we couldn't lay down, we were too exhausted from our trip to Nice. There is NO Air Condition, even though it was listed in the facilities-list. It tends to get really hot during the day, but at night it's quite okay if you leave the windows open and the fans running all the night.
Nice place for a family witht 4 people

`They've Made It A Manhood Issue Now'David Woodruff
Late last year, General Motors Corp. asked the United Auto Workers to have its members bunch part of their vacations into two weeks in July. That would let GM shut its plants--and save $200 million. Stephen P. Yokich, who heads the UAW's GM department, told the company to get his local unions' O.K. Then, GM goofed: It mailed its plea directly to workers, asking each, "as an individual," to grantthe company's wish. On Feb. 12, miffed that the union had been sidestepped, Yokich told GM: Nodice.
It's a small spat that reflects a big problem. After two decades of improving relations between the UAW and the company that employs roughly 25% of its members, the two are suddenly on the worst terms in years. The reasons aren't hard to find. Tensions over GM's anticipated downsizing had been rising before the company's Dec. 18 announcement that it would close 21 plants and eliminate 74,000 hourly and salaried jobs by 1995. Anxiety in the plants had risen to a fever pitch by Feb. 24, when the company finally named 12 of the 21 doomed sites. Frustrated with all that is happening, Yokich is threatening GM with "guerrilla warfare."
"In the long term," says Thomas M. Fricano, director of UAW Region 9 in New Jersey, "everyone will be hurt." GM lost $4.5 billion last year, including a $1.8 billion onetime charge to cover the plant closings. Its core North American auto operations lost more than $7 billion. To climb out of this hole, GM has to bring its capacity and costs into line with its market share, which shrank 10 points in the 1980s, to 35%. But it will also need cooperative workers to boost plant-floor efforts to lift quality and productivity.
Today's assemblers do much more than tighten nuts and bolts. Increasingly, for instance, they help design new products to make them easier to assemble. "If GM can't get its labor relations in order, it's not going to get what it wants out of its plants," says Harley Shaiken, professor of work and technology at the University of California, San Diego.
If that happens, the UAW will suffer, too. Since 1985, it has lost 127,000 jobs at GM. If the company scraps 54,000 more hourly jobs by 1995, as it currently plans, the UAW's ranks there will shrink to 250,000 workers--a 43% reduction in 10 years. The union's overall membership will slip below 800,000, vs. a million in the mid-1980s. "They're losing more members than the total at many labor unions in the U.S.," says Sean Maclinden, a labor expert at the University of Michigan.
SLIM HAUL. To offset such losses, the UAW would have to spend millions on organizing drives. Over the past decade, it has been aggressively branching into service industries, where it has netted 125,000 new members. Still, the UAW's continued shrinkage will erode its considerable political clout. That could make it a less effective lobbyist against such proposals as the U.S.-Mexican free-trade pact, whose enactment could entice employers into sending thousands of UAW jobs south of the border.
The UAW-GM tensions sharply reverse a long-term warming of relations. In the early 1970s, UAW leaders urged GM to combat the boredom and alienation of its workers by giving them more say over their work. By the 1980s, GM was getting religion. In some plants, it set up semiautonomous work teams of the type that had given Japanese auto makers an edge. But even the noblest experiment could not offset the effect of GM's decline in market share. And in the past several months, that effect has been severe.
The friction started with job security. During the 1980s, GM paid for the UAW's cooperation with some of the most sweeping provisions in any industry. Jobs could disappear, but workers had to be kept on the payroll, sometimes for years. As the recession deepened, however, GM continued to shift UAW work to outside suppliers, even though the current labor contract calls for slowing the trend. The politically aware Yokich reacted.
DIVISIVE TACTICS. Since last fall, the UAW has threatened nine local strikes and mounted three--as it has the right to over issues such as contracting out. One stand-off, at two Dayton parts plants, ended in a three-day walkout that disrupted work at other factories. Then, in January, UAW President Owen F. Bieber rejected GM's informal request to reopen the 1990 contract, which set up a $4 billion fund to pay the wages of almost all laid-off workers. GM, which hadn't anticipated spending much of this money, wanted to stop its cash drain. The rejection nearly coincided with the vacation fiasco. "They have challenged Yokich to see if he can lead his people," says a Ford executive. "They've made it a manhood issue now."
Yokich is also angry over the way GM has handled its layoff announcements. By not saying in December which plants would close, it pitted locals against each other. Those at underused plants scrambled to offer concessions. GM Chairman Robert C. Stempel heightened the whipsawing on Feb. 24, when he made it clear that some plants are staying open partly because of such deals.
A case in point: GM will shut its assembly plant in Ypsilanti, Mich., and leave open a plant in Arlington, Tex., that makes the same cars. Arlington workers agreed to discuss working three shifts instead of two, while Ypsilanti workers didn't. Speaking of a different plant that had accepted such changes, Stempel said: "That and some other innovations will make the plant very productive and really helps its future outlook."
The souring labor relations have been exacerbated by a personality clash between Yokich and Richard F. O'Brien, GM's vice-president for industrial relations. The two never hit it off after O'Brien took office a year ago. Insiders say Yokich hasn't visited GM's headquarters in more than six months, in stark contrast with the friendship he forged with O'Brien's predecessor, Alfred S. Warren. O'Brien has been distracted by the need to care for a son who was badly hurt in a car accident. But Yokich's combative rhetoric doesn't help. "I'm willing to take a little of the blame," he says.
ELECTION HISTRIONICS? Meanwhile, union politics is adding fuel to the fire. The UAW's top officers face reelection at the union's national convention in June. There's no real chance that they'll be unseated, but a dissident, Jerry Tucker, is running against Bieber (box). And Yokich, who aspires to the presidency when Bieber retires in 1995, is playing to members more than usual.
Stempel will find it hard to repair the rift. In recent years, GM has repeatedly changed plans for which models to produce where. And workers have learned that accepting more flexible work rules to keep a plant going doesn't mean the plant will stay open.
"This sure as hell sets back our ability to work together," fumes Bruce Lee, director of UAW Region 6 in California and a strong advocate of cooperation. And that pattern may continue for the foreseeable future: Stempel has seven more closings to announce. He said on Feb. 24 that some may not be disclosed until next year.
A HISTORY OF COOPERATION 1973 The United Auto Workers win a new Quality of Worklife program that gives workers more voice in factory-floor decisions 1981 GM's Shreveport (La.) plant opens, starting the company's first experiment with multiskilled teams of workers who have direct input into control of the production process 1983 Two champions of cooperation take charge: Donald Ephlin at the UAW's GM unit and Alfred Warren, GM's vice-president for human relations 1984 GM and Toyota form a joint venture in Fremont, Calif. Toyota institutes a team system that nearly doubles productivity and becomes a model for GM 1985 Led by Ephlin and Warren, GM and the UAW forge a revolutionary labor agreement for Saturn's small-car plant in Spring Hill, Tenn. Union members gain a voice in nearly every management decision 1988 New Directions, a UAW dissident group headed by Jerry Tucker, lashes out at cooperation. Tucker argues that it undermines the UAW's strength 1989 GM closes four assembly plants, skirting a contractual prohibition. Ephlin retires under pressure. He's replaced by the more combative Stephen Yokich 1990 GM signs a three-year deal to pay many workers even if their plants close 1991 GM, battered by the recession, announces 21 plant closings and says it will eliminate 54,000 union jobs by 1995. UAW leaders accuse GM of playing to Wall Street and pitting local unions against each other DATA: BW

Attending Physician, Academic Urology Prostate Center
Treatment Focus
Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT); Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT); Prostate Brachytherapy
Treatment Philosophy
From the onset of my medical career, my priority has been to provide high quality oncologic patient-focused care, individualizing treatment recommendations for my patients' specific diagnoses, goals, lifestyles and psychosocial needs in an emotionally supportive environment.
Knowing that the diagnosis of cancer can be a life-changing and overwhelming moment in one's life, I approach each new patient with a commitment to his well-being. The patient and his physician will embark on a journey which begins at diagnosis and continues through the many phases of treatment and subsequent follow-up. Each patient's response to the diagnosis of cancer is different and personal, as is his treatment plan. Having been involved in the management of prostate cancer over the past three decades, I have participated in its many clinical and technologic advances. Today we see improved outcomes with fewer side effects. I use a multi-disciplinary approach to counsel patients regarding the various treatment options. This enables the patient to best evaluate the many aspects of each treatment modality.

Let's start from the beginning, shall we?
We spent the weekend in Glen Rose to celebrate Molly and Brett's wedding. Had I known I was going into labor on Sunday, I probably wouldn't have been out on the dance floor until 1 a.m....but I didn't know...and the band was amazing. I, also, would have slept in since I was going to be awake, more or less, for the next 36 hours.
We drove back to Dallas on Sunday. And then....nesting mode began: Unpacking from the weekend, re-packing hospital bags, laundry, grocery store, Northhaven Gardens to pick out pumpkins, and planted 5 pots. After my planting frenzy, I sat down and had a glass of water. Oh, how I wished I had savored every last bit of that water. I wouldn't get to drink anything for the next 14 hours. Covered in dirt, I decided to take a quick shower.
It's 6:30 p.m. and all of a sudden my water breaks. How lucky to have my water break in the shower. Actually, I was just relieved I didn't have to do the whole timing-of-contractions thing. I honestly didn't pay close enough attention in our LaMaze class during that part. I yelled for Mark, who of course couldn't here me...and then decided to finish my shower. I was suprisingly calm until more water came...and then I got nervous. Don't ask me why the first one didn't throw me into action. I hopped out and told Mark to get ready to go to the hospital. And boy do I wish I had taped him running around the house. After throwing some clothes in our hospital bag and doing a bit of pacing, he came to me and said..."Okay, I'm at a loss of what to do." Lucky for us, I had a little checklist on our Baby Binder of who to call. He called the hospital, they told us to come right in. Mark said we would be there in 5 minutes. But my hair was wet and I didn't have any makeup on!!! I settled for partially drying my hair because as the water continued "breaking", I was starting to freak out a bit.
We got to the hospital and for some reason, Mark didn't make the right turn which sent us on a little detour. Now, between doctor appointments and classes we had been up to the hospital at least 25 times in the last 9 months....it was rather funny. We get parked and walk up to the front desk where Mark loudly announces, "Her water broke! I think she's going into labor!" Unfortunately these ladies did not reciprocate Mark's enthusiasm, told us they were both admitting other patients, and sent us to the waiting room to fill out a form. Ha...again...I needed a video camera.
We were soon admitted, got to skip triage (I was VERY excited about this!), and got situated in the labor and delivery room. We were very blessed to have such an amazing nurse and since they work 7 to 7 shifts we would most likely have her with us through the whole labor. (She ended up staying after her shift...even had her kids' carpool changed, so she could stay with us through the delivery. Amazing.) My doctor was not on-call, but sure enough, he showed up Sunday night and stayed through the night with us. I have the most caring and wonderful doctor in the whole world and he was such a strong support and encouragement for Mark and I throughout our pregnancy.
Well, in a nutshell I received my epidural around 10:30 p.m., was 5 cm at midnight, 9 cm at 2:20 a.m. and 10 cm around 4 a.m. Then, we pushed for 3 hours. Honestly, it didn't feel like 3 hours because I was falling asleep inbetween contractions. (This is the girl that goes to bed at 9:30 p.m....and who has never been able to pull an all-nighter.) Ryan finally joined us at 7:20 a.m. It was crazy...you really can't describe how you feel or what is going on through your mind when you first see this little baby who has been inside of you for 9 months. The Lord is truly amazing!

The republicans control the house, there is a mid-term on the horizon, and not all democrats are from California. So there is hope that nothing will get past the house. That being said, make your voice heard by your rep, and keep your fingers crossed.
I suspect Obama and the DNC also want to use this as an opportunity to vilify republicans if gun control does not pass. So be it.

Amado, Jorge 1912–
Amado, a renowned Brazilian novelist, playwright, scriptwriter, and editor, writes about the people of his native region, Bahia. He portrays them as impoverished and socially repressed but not without hope, and his concern for their future is evident throughout his work. Marxist ideology pervades his early work and critics agree that structure and characterization often seem less important than the promotion of his political theories. His early work was often censored and Amado has frequently been imprisoned or exiled because of his views. His later work, characterized by more emphasis on the individual and on stylistic techniques, is referred to as lyrical and precise in detail. Always active politically, Amado helped draft the current Brazilian constitution. (See also Contemporary Authors, Vols. 77-80.)
Nancy Flagg
["The Violent Land" should be successful] with the many readers who like their adventure, romance, crime, seduction and social injustice in exotic fancy dress, peeping through veils of literary language.
It isn't likely that this book has lost very much in translation. Too much is left: too much style for style's sake, too much indignation with the powerful and pity for the poor, too many excited, shadowy characters, too much love and lust and greed and arson and killing. (p. 8)
Nancy Flagg, in The New York Times Book Review (© 1945 by The New York Times Company; reprinted by permission), June 24, 1945.
Anthony West
["Home Is the Sailor" is] a deftly written, lighthearted, and genuinely funny comic novel. Its hero is an old gentleman who enjoys years of tranquil happiness late in life by masquerading as a retired sea captain and telling the most outrageous lies…. Amado's humor is fresh, innocent, and inventive, and his altogether delightful comedy … has some profound things to say, in passing, about the human desire for importance…. (pp. 89-90)
Anthony West, in The New Yorker (© 1964 by The New Yorker Magazine, Inc.), August 8, 1964.
Donald A. Yates
Brazilian novelist Jorge Amado has returned to his beloved Bahia, that tropical coastal city of whites, mulattos, and blacks, to lay the scene for another adventure of the human spirit. And his message, presented more vehemently [in Tent of Miracles] than in his two most successful earlier novels, Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon (1962) and Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands (1969), is again the need to love and have tolerance towards one's fellow man.
Buttressed by delightful ribaldry and exotic trimmings, along with detailed observations of black culture and religion, Tent of Miracles is basically a propagandistic work that advocates miscegenation…. For a novel with such didactic purpose, Tent of Miracles reads exceptionally well…. (pp. 26-7)
Bahia surely has no greater poet than Jorge Amado. (p. 27)
Donald A. Yates in Saturday Review (© 1971 by Saturday Review Inc., reprinted with permission), August 28, 1971.
North American readers have precious few chances to look at the dynamic giant of the New World's southern half through the eyes of a gifted novelist. "Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon" … offers one of the most precious. Jorge Amado builds his long "chronicle of a city of the interior" around two superbly alive characters: Gabriela, the mulatto girl with the cinnamon thighs and clove in her hair, and Mundinho Falcao…. The other characters and the background reveal the tensions that developed during the 1920's as a new bourgeois society cropped up where great landowners were once all-powerful. An "exciting and enjoyable romp of a book," Juan de Onis called it, in an "elegant and ingenious translation."… (p. 34)
The New York Times Book Review (© 1974 by The New York Times Company; reprinted by permission), May 12, 1974.
William Kennedy
If we were back in the 1940s [Tereza Batista: Home From The Wars] would be a great vehicle for Dorothy Dandridge, or maybe Rita Hayworth in brownface. [Amado's] heroine, Tereza Batista, is a lithe and loving, copper-colored saint, a glorious nonesuch from the subcontinent, a fantastic beauty with a bod of bods, a prism of strength, a champion prostitute, a magnificent concubine, the personification of selflessness, a martyr to charity, a paradigm of virtue and fidelity, a cop-kicker and leper-licker, but also, sad to say, rather a bore, and a literary joke.
Amado has written a sensual, comic work this time out, again about Bahia in Brazil, again with all the lavish detail of life as it is lived in the torrential spew of his imagination….
Perhaps also, in his own language, the book is different from the product at hand. The translation … is fine English. Yet it has the same quality to be found in the translations of Isaac Babel, another regionalist whose dialect and slang are not entirely lost in translation but arrive here like a package that has been too long at the bottom of the parcel post truck. It's not the same as it started out. Babel is a masterful writer, a giant of concision and meaning. Amado is logerrheic, repititious and in quite another literary dimension from the Russian maestro. Yet their language comes at us from the funhouse mirror, and that distortion—once the art is missing—may be at the heart of why Amado makes it in Portuguese but not English.
Or is it simply that the art is clearly missing, even in Portuguese? Amado believes not only in repeating himself four, five, six times, but also in summarizing each of Tereza's adventures in advance, so that we not only drown in verbosity but we are also denied the surprise that even rotten fiction usually dangles before us. (p. 26)
Amado has made his book dense with superficiality, and in doughty Tereza he has created an affectionate, affronting literary icon for these times of multi-angular sexuality: a composite of Wonder Woman, Mary Magdalene, Lola Montes, Lupe Velez, Melina Mercouri, Clara Barton, Foxy Brown and Little Annie Fanny. Ms. magazine will probably not print an excerpt. (p. 27)
William Kennedy, in The New Republic (reprinted by permission of The New Republic; © 1975 by The New Republic, Inc.), June 28, 1975.
Malcolm Silverman
Although Jorge Amado is undisputably Brazil's greatest living writer, his sixteen previous novels are of varying quality. Perhaps best remembered from Amado's earlier years are Jubiabá (1935), Mar Morto (1936) and Terras do Sem Fim (1942), while Gabriela, Cravo e Canela (1958) and Dona Flor e Seus Dois Maridos (1966) highlight his more recent successes. In Tieta do Agreste, as in all his post-1958 works, the author continues with his brand of humorous satire, lambasting bourgeois shortcomings in an atmosphere of picaresque adventures and contagious optimism.
Happily, his present narrative has none of the excesses common to his previous two novels; and the development of both plot an content seems to signal a reactivated desire to consolidate rather than experiment—a tendency also echoed in the work's theme. (p. 573)
Amado presents his tragicomic story through the eyes of an obtrusive narrator whose humorous interjections serve to enhance further the light-hearted tone evident throughout the narrative. Long, chronicled headings, which precede both the book's six sections as well as its endless chapters, inform as well as entertain, summarizing what immediately follows. Amid almost continuous action, tongue in cheek suspense and profuse dialogue, Tieta and Agreste's colorful personae get to know each other on several fronts. Subplots center around the usual gamut of small town sexual mores, which Amado realistically portrays with appropriate (and often comical) language. While colloquialisms abound, however, the infusion of cosmopolitan Paulista ways into Agreste's provincialism clearly makes for a story of national appeal—and universal undercurrents.
Jorge Amado has always been at his novelistic best in recreating Bahian life with its mixture of poetry, mystery and telluric regionalism. For almost half a century, this focus has been evolving from one of violent conflict to increasing if imperfect harmony; and Tieta do Agreste, a sort of updated Gabriela, Cravo e Canela (the present heroine is neither innocent nor naive), follows nobly in this tradition. (pp. 573-74)
Malcolm Silverman, in Hispania (© 1978 The American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese, Inc.), September, 1978.
John Sturrock
Mr. Amado is Brazil's most illustrious and venerable novelist, and a veteran rhapsodist of its native assets. He has also taken a radical line politically, and spoken up emotively for the poor and disfavored. In "Tieta" he has gone soft, celebrating the goodness and vitality of his home province of Bahia, more from memory than conviction, and at crushing length. This is a slow, explicit, sentimental novel with a theme that might have made a short, sharp fable….
[Tieta herself] is, as they say, a catalyst, an agent of change who herself knows of only one way to behave, warmly and openly; she is the original golden-hearted whore. Her goings-on would be more entertaining if they didn't go on so. Mr....
