Let Fn: X1 → X2 be a sequence of (multivalued) meromorphic maps between compact Kähler manifolds. We study the asymptotic distribution of preimages of points by Fn and, for multivalued self-maps of a compact Riemann surface, the asymptotic distribution of repelling fixed points.
Let (Zn) be a sequence of holomorphic images of ℙs in a projective manifold. We prove that the currents, defined by integration on Zn, properly normalized, converge to currents which satisfy some laminarity property. We also show this laminarity property for the Green currents, of suitable bidimensions, associated to a regular polynomial automorphism of ℂk or an automorphism of a projective manifold.

by Deborah Tutnauer, MEd, MSW
The women's liberation movement began over 40 years ago and still the majority of CEOs of major companies are men and the majority of Presidents and Prime Ministers of countries are men. Most of the wealth of the world is in the pockets of men. Women are still paid 75 cents on the dollar compared to men. Unfortunately women often unknowingly undervalue themselves as much as the marketplace undervalues them. The problem that we will explore is both an internal one and external one.
Because women historically have not been in control of the money, and because women's relationship with money is a relatively new phenomenal in the greater scheme of humankind, society has cultural expectations and biases about women and money built into our collective psychological DNA. In our collective Jungian consciousness there is no precedent for women valuing themselves from a financial perspective, nor women interacting consistently with money.
For many centuries money was used to enslave women – hurt women and have power over women. Now women must become comfortable with the notion of earning money and embracing power. In order for women to have power – the power to shift our world in a positive way – they have got to make friends with money on a very deep authentic level now and for generations to come.
We need women to step up and change the world. Our world is deeply disturbed and hurting on many levels. In order to become more feminine based in how it operates, and thus ultimately more balanced between the masculine and feminine, it's women who need to take action. It is women who must embrace the role of money in their lives. It is women who have to challenge their own fear and stereotypes, shifting internally while facilitating cultural and societal change as well.
Men must also shift in their relationship to money. While women must step up, men must re-think the meaning of money and the meaning of work. Men traditionally are caretakers of the family from a financial perspective. It is in their collective DNA and in the very makeup of their brain chemistry. It is a positive thing – this great depth of feeling of responsibility to support their family. Money is a huge part of this. The balance is the ability to hold that part high, while not de-valuing women who have a different family role and a different relationship to money.
Do you know that in the United States and probably most of the Western world, the most important services in our society are jobs that are filled with women and are almost the lowest paid on the professional spectrum?
Why is that?
There was a professor when I was in social work school who believed it is that way because women accept it. She postulated that women are teachers, nurses, social workers and elder care workers in a huge percentage over the number of men who take those jobs – because they accept the low pay.
It's a great thing. In fact society would cease to function otherwise. In our world, taking care of children – taking care of the elderly – taking care of those who are struggling is crucial.
But why do football players make more money than those jobs?
Why do stock brokers (highly male profession) make more money than those jobs?
I'm going to propose to you it's because they demand it, and they get it.
Why can't women demand it for themselves?
Why don't women demand it for other women?
It's because there are all those layers of history and culture and more recently skewed media portrayals of what it means to be a woman. There is a self-worth issue. There is generations of undervaluing women's worth layered into every aspect of life.
It's the voice of Grandma who pipes in, in a woman's mind, "Who do you think you are young lady to ask for that kind of money?!"
Internal self-worth challenges come up particularly among entrepreneurs, coaches, and people who are solo entrepreneurs and service providers. It is in this realm that women are forced to look at the product or service they provide and place value on it in the market. Though one would think this is a concrete and external process, in reality it's deeply tied to one's own sense of self-worth.
I coach a lot of business people. Rarely do I hear men undervaluing their services or expertise when they have to set a fee structure or price a product. I hear women do it all the time.
When men ask for more money they are perceived as self confident and powerful.
Women who ask for more money are often perceived as bitchy or masculine.
Interesting isn't it?
We absorb information and energy from the moment we are born from our families, from our culture, from our teachers, from the media and all of that forms the stories the live in our conscious and unconscious mind. Through that filter through which we see the world, things that might actually not be good or fine, appear to be OK. Our internal filter doesn't allow us to easily see the disconnect or ethical issues.
Women dominating underpaid professions appear to be fine because that's the way it is. But it's not fine. Women getting hired at an investment banking firm for 20% less salary than a man in the same position seems like the norm with all the old ingrained stories attached to it.
Change must begin somewhere and the change starts here, today.
We stop accepting 75 cents on the dollar as women, by understanding our relationship to money and by letting go of the negative connotations about money – those big old beliefs of what being a woman and being feminine mean. Women can be powerful and feminine. Women don't have to sacrifice their children to be wealthy. Women don't have to wonder if it's OK to ask for what they are worth when pricing their services. Instead we must become aware of and then dissect our own filters regarding money and value, making shifts as needed.
If you're heading down an entrepreneurial path, you must explore your consciousness around this topic. If you are a woman, it's important for you to learn how to be hard-driving, committed and powerful while also honoring your unique communication abilities, your rhythm and your intuitive nature. You must also learn how to price yourself well and with full value; and when you're in the workplace and find yourself possibly cowering inside around money issues, take the time to dig into that. See it. Recognize it. Work with it.
Experiment with this suggestion by Barbara Turley of Energise Wealth
Try and reflect on the money situation your family was in when you were about 6 years old and what your parents believed was true about money and making money. Our family's belief system is the strongest one we are exposed to because, as humans, we all have this sense of belonging and we don't want to be different from our family. This is how we are molded and these beliefs then form the basis of how we think and act as adults.
For thousands of years money, wealth and business have been seen in an extremely masculine light so this is unlikely to totally evolve overnight.
What we can do as women and men however is simply be conscious. Understand that learning good money habits is equally as important for kids of both genders, and foster the idea that, with the right practices in place, everyone has the opportunity, indeed the right, to become financially independent.
Change begins with awareness, moves through the challenge of stopping old patterns while creating new ones, and continues with the assimilation of the new way of being within oneself, along with facilitating shift in society by communication and action. As so well stated by Mahatma Gandhi — "Be the change that you wish to see in the world."

|[jira] [Commented] (JCR-3170) Precompile JavaCC parsers in jackrabbit-spi-commons
|Tue, 06 Dec 2011 11:25:39 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3170?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13163529#comment-13163529 ] Michael Dürig commented on JCR-3170: ------------------------------------ > PS. For future reference: When changing the JavaCC sources, use "mvn clean install -Pjavacc" in jackrabbit-spi-commons and commit the updated files. I'm almost sure this will backfire since people will forget about this. At the very least we should put this note into the headers of all the JavaCC source files. However, is it really worth to trade correctness for convenience here? I feel the IDE pain too. In fact I felt it for the past couple of years. Why the sudden hurry now? > Precompile JavaCC parsers in jackrabbit-spi-commons > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JCR-3170 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3170 > Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: jackrabbit-spi-commons > Reporter: Jukka Zitting > Assignee: Jukka Zitting > Priority: Minor > Labels: javacc > Fix For: 2.3.5 > > > The JavaCC-generated Java source files in jackrabbit-spi-commons require special configuration when importing Jackrabbit sources to an IDE like Eclipse. To make IDE integration smoother it would be nice if precompiled copies of the Java files existed the src/main/java folder. > Precompiling the sources would also allow us to avoid the JavaCC processing step during each Jackrabbit build. Instead we could have a separate profile for explicitly recompiling the JavaCC sources when they have been modified. In the past three years that has happened only once (JCR-952), so I think a bit of extra complexity there is justified by the simplification we can achieve in normal builds and IDE integration. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

"My dad's a part of the VFW. Ive always helped put up flags," Stewart said. Comal County Veterans Service Officer Michaels Davis, a U.S. Air Force veteran, considers it her duty to help put up the flags on a day set aside to remember the sacrifices of men and women who have served in the armed forces. "Its to honor the veterans that have died," Davis said. She also said it was fun. Pointing to her 11 -year-old son. Mason, she said a project like this gets she and her children out of the house to work together on something of value. "I do this every year with VFW 11050 and with Post 35. It's just being patriotic,''said duan Tristan. He Herved in the U.S. Army in Vietnam (1908-09) with the 22nd Engineers. Konkel said the project could trace its beginnings to the early 1900s when some businesspeople got together and created a flag commit tee. Each business owner was charged $15 to display the flags. The idea did not catch on. The bank owning the note on the flags was preparing to sell them, so Post 35 bought t he 185 flags for the price of the debt. They've been displayed on every flag-flying day since then, Konkel said. ()ver the years, some of the flags have been stolen, Konkel said. Now there are just 135. That bothered Konkel. It also irked him that at athletic events people don't honor the flag. "When I see people scratching at football games when they're supposed to be respecting the flag, that's enough to make a veteran's blood boil," he said. When his country was at war in Korea, "We're proud of that flag," Konkel said "Every casket that comes hack bearing someone killed in a war comes back draped in the flag that a serviceman has sacrificed himself for." photos by DAVID INGRAM/Herald-Zeitung (Above) Taylor Davis is careful not to let Old Glory touch the ground while helping American Legion Post 35 members place flags Monday morning around Main Plaza for Memorial Day.

Severance Of The Feel.Mature
That strange, familiar feeling is creeping back again.
Breathing upon the windows.
'Let me in...'
I can't help but see the world empty once more.
Every opportunity ceases to mean something.
So I crank out more words, extrapolate creation from my nothing
to feed my hungry soul.
Why can't I feel anymore?
Nothing but anger and regret fill the room
Drown, damn it drown!
All the lifeboats take us to a emptypromise land.
A land so full of emptypromise it practically dribbles out of the ears of the dumb to listen.
I judge them, an empty shell with no remorse, fuck the world!
Cannot hide from myself.
Cannot run.
Help me.
Throw the lifeline to the fate-stream,
My outstretched hand awaits
With my other clasping the knife.

Also by the same author as my last post, this is worth your time to read.
The difference between a Dom and a Prick:
A Dom understands that submission is a gift.
A Prick thinks that submission is a weakness.
A Dom understands that Dominance is a gift.
A Prick thinks that Dominance is a right.
A Dom takes pride in his girl, because he knows she is of value.
A Prick takes pride in owning a girl, because he knows he deserves it.
A Dom tells his girl how proud he is of her when she does well, because he knows how hard she has worked.
A Prick congratulates himself for his training techniques, when his girl does well.
A Dom sets clear, achievable, consistent expectations.
A Prick sets arbitrary rules and changes them when he sees fit.
A Dom gives reasonable punishments, intended to improve his girl, or her behavior, or their relationship.
A Prick gives punishment because he enjoys it.
A Dom rewards his girl for pushing herself past her previous limits.
A Prick tells his girl "That's not good enough, let's move on to the next level."
A Dom understands that the balance of D/s is ongoing work, needing constant tending from both sides.
A Prick thinks that the work is done once the girl first accepts the collar.
A Dom understands that a submissive might be smart, capable, strong, but chooses to give her power, her decisions and worries to her Sir because it allows her to be free.
A Prick thinks that a submissive must be stupid and weak and unable to make decisions or think for herself, and he devalues her intelligence and self-will.
A Dom understands that his girl's time, possessions, faithfulness and love are hers to give and should be asked for.
A Prick assumes that anything his girl has belongs to him, simply because she is his girl, even though it has not been negotiated.
A Dom is able to say "I'm sorry."
A Prick never thinks that there is anything he needs to be sorry for.
A Dom earns respect from those around him because he shows respect to others when it is due.
A Prick demands respect from those around him by denying it to anybody else.
A Dom earns love by giving it.
A Prick demands love by withholding it.
Adding this one on 10/15, after putting it into the comments, and being told by more than one person, by PM fairly immediately, how important it actually is:
A Dom is somebody who makes a Prick mistake, grows from it, and does better next time.
A Prick is somebody who thinks that he can never make a mistake, and never needs to grow.
(This is written with Dom / Prick as "he" and sub as "girl" because, well, that's just how I did it. So there.)
(Also, to be fair, with the whole "It takes two to tango" thing, I've started working on "The difference between a sub and a manipulative bitch." Or something. That one is going to take me a while...because, well, it just is.)

Michelle Malkin writes about the double standard in today's column:
So far, the magical D after Sen. Sleaze-Bobs name has conferred supernatural immunity upon him. New Jersey Democrats are AWOL. Liberal columnists for the nations fishwraps of record remain uninterested. David Letterman was too busy trading fat jokes with donut-munching Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. And Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid stubbornly clung to his assertion this week that Menendez did nothing wrong.
But the mountains of Things Menendez Should Have Known But Conveniently Overlooked and Things Menendez Should Have Done But Conveniently Forgot just keep growing.

From 9/11/01, Osama bin Laden became public enemy number one for the United States and its then-president, George W. Bush. Here is a video compilation of Bushs comments on bin Laden, as well as a Democratic National Committee attack ad from 2006.
Bigger fish to fry?? Like who??
OBL is responsible for the 9-11 attacks, so who were the bigger fish, or are you just talking thru your ass again??
Thought so.
Bush failed at capturing OBL, just as he failed at the two wars he started.
And it still drives you crazy, thus the never ending excuses.

Menendezs cronies
Beyond senators prostitute woes
Put on your shocked faces: Since my bipartisan call last week for Democratic women to join the Ladies Against Sen. Sleaze-Bob movement, not a single Democratic woman in Washington has signed up. Heres the thing. The brewing scandal involving Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), the new chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is not just a sex scandal. Its a crony-corruption scandal of sordid, soap-operatic proportions.
Shady Menendez campaign contributor and best-friend-forever Salomon Melgen is the high-flying eye doctor at the center of the senators ills.
Melgen is owner of the Casa de Campo resort home, where he and Menendez reportedly engaged in sexual romps with a bevy of Dominican escorts, including at least one minor girl. In his latest statement on the matter Monday, Menendez repeated his blanket denials of any wrongdoing, recycled his attack on conservative media reporting the story and labeled accounts of the alleged island sex parties smears.
While his lips keep denying, his actions smack of lying. Last week, he sheepishly disclosed that hed just reimbursed Melgen in January of this year for nearly $60,000 in expenses tied to two of three private jet trips to the Dominican Republic in 2010 trips he had never admitted taking before.
Senate rules require prior approval of such private jet travel and luxury lodging. Senate rules also require financial disclosure of such gifts after approval.
Menendez ignored all the rules, blamed his staff and now wheedles that the matter simply fell through the cracks.
But you know what didnt fall through the cracks? A special multimillion-dollar port-security contract Melgen wanted with the Dominican Republic. The politically connected ophthalmologist who forked over $700,000 to help Menendez and other Democrats get re-elected last cycle has zero experience in port security. But Menendez used a Senate hearing last summer to lobby for enforcement of the contract Melgens company has with the Dominican government.
Menendez also met with officials from the Obama State and Commerce departments on the matter, though he was careful not to mention Melgen by name.
One of Menendezs longtime senior legislative aides, Pedro Pablo Permuy, will be in charge of operations, according to Melgens cousin and legal mouthpiece Vinicio Castillo Seman. The contract is estimated to be worth up to $1 billion over the next 20 years, according to The Miami Herald. How do you say crony government in Spanish?
Know-nothing Menendez denies any knowledge of his veteran aides involvement with the company, of course. Or rather, his lips have issued another in a long line of denials.
Wait, theres more. While Melgen shelled out millions to Menendez and the Democratic Party over the years, he is a serial tax evader. The jet-setting doc incurred liens of $1.3 million before 2002,$6.2 million in 2011, and a still outstanding $11.1 million lien between 2006 and 2009.
And the FBI and US Department of Health and Human Services are now sifting through boxes of documents they carted away during last weeks raid of Melgens offices as part of a Medicare fraud investigation.
The feds finally acted after a document shredding truck was spotted outside Melgens clinic. I think its safe to say a right-wing blog didnt send it.

Now, your tits... that's a horse of a different color... you call me whatever you want, honey, Debil don' lack fo' self-esteem. Here, he loan you some...
Debil remember his first trip to Sweden, it where he learn magic. He stayin' with this family an' they got two teen-age daughters who nearly 6 feet tall and blonde and tanned even in June when it still pretty cold up there. We eat dinner and hang around and then the whole family take me down in the basement and we undress completely an' get in the sauna. No fuss no muss.
Debil feel the col' leach out his bones an' then he notice how noce it is to sit aroun' talkin' with all these attractive naked people. in fact he prob'ly noticin' too much cause pretty soon ol' Willy's at half-mast an' risin'. Finally they can't ignore it anymore an' everybody start laughin' an' makin' fun of up-tight Americans when they first see naked Swedes - they don' eat so much shit as we do.
So we chuckle it off, I manage to sit casually with a towel over my lap an' then somebody jump up an' we all rush out the basement door to the back yard. Debil run right along with them but he notice pretty soon it 35 degrees out there, but he caught up in the spirit of the thing so he run down to the lake behind the two young women an' he notice now that he cain't take his eyes off they asses so he gettin' blasted with pine branches which draw blood much to the amusement of all who, apparently, had endured this sort of thing before.
Then the woods open up to the lake and everybody charge in in great merriment an' first thing debil notices is that he not in Kansas no more. He start screamin' an' everybody come hep' him out the water an' he looks down an' his penis is GONE m-fcker, it slap not there no mo'. It magic! He scream again an' his hosts assure him it'll be ok once we get back in the sauna.
We do this several mo' times, the same routine an' pretty soon, carol, your penis just sort of give up. He hang out there dejectedly an' stop runnin' up an' down the flagpole an' then you fully appreciate him they way you would a Labrador Retriever puppy.
Then, later on while you layin' in bed with a toddy feelin' like you about to die, Helga knocks on you door an' she got a prim little gown on an' without sayin' a word she climb in bed with you and hug you back to life and she smells like the sea. That when you discover how boring life would be without a Labrador Retriever puppy.

That's a whole 'nother topic.
Alaska makes oil companies companies pay Alaskans for the resources they took out of the ground. It's called royalty payments.
Yet the oil companies still made tremendous profits!!
Palin was all for it, too! So it should be part of the TP plank!!
The oil and ng belongs to all Americans, not oil companies.
They should be allowed to drill for it and sell it, but just as in Alaska, we the people should get a share of the money.
But the Rclowns don't even want to take away big oil's tax breaks and subsidies, much less make them pay royalties to Americans.

That reminds me of a Gahan Wilson cartoon I saw googling something else. It showed wolves howling at a moon and pondering the futility of their raucous actions. I suspected Wilson intended irony in the tone.
Maybe I credited him too much wit?

London, Feb 5 (ANI): A Brit footballer has revealed that sex orgies and sleeping with teamates' girlfriends are quite common in pro football.
Goalkeeper Ashley Timms, 24, who was jailed over a sleazy sex-tape blackmail, has disclosed that soccer stars often indulge in wild sex antics off the field.
"What has happened between John Terry and Wayne Bridge's ex is nothing new. It's happening all the time between players and team-mates' girlfriends," the Sun quoted him, as saying.
He continued: "In the dressing room, 99 per cent of the chat is about sex. None of it is about football. I've done it ten different times with women while other players were in the room. It's a different world.
"I was on decent money and I was more worried about partying than football. I once bought a 4,500-pound round of drinks in Marbella - at times I didn't give a f*** about football.
"Even if you're not the best looking guy, if you are physically fit and have status as a player, you can pull. I've seen players in nightclubs going off with someone to have sex in the toilet."
The former Manchester City youth trainee recollected: "I once went round to see a mate who is a famous Premier League footballer. I walked in and he was on a PlayStation while a girl was between his legs pleasuring him. He laughed and the girl didn't care."
Timms added: "When I was at City we all knew each other - players from City, Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal. If we saw each other on a night out, we would go back with each other and take some girls.
"You have parties of five or six players and three or four girls at once. If you're young and the girls are pretty, I challenge any bloke to refuse it.
"The rich and powerful players get away with it most of the time. It's all about status." (ANI)

Hybridization and introgression between the exotic Siberian elm, Ulmus pumila, and the native Field elm, U. minor, in Italy

In response to the first Dutch elm disease (DED) pandemic, Siberian elm, Ulmus pumila, was planted to replace the native elm, U. minor, in Italy. The potential for hybridization between these two species is high and repeated hybridization could result in the genetic swamping of the native species and facilitate the evolution of invasiveness in the introduced species. We used genetic markers to examine the extent of hybridization between these two species and to determine the pattern of introgression. We quantified and compared the level of genetic diversity between the hybrids and the two parental species. Hybrids between U. pumila and U. minor were common. The pattern of introgression was not as strongly biased towards U. pumila as was previously observed for hybrids between U. rubra and U. pumila in the United States. The levels of heterozygosity were similar between U. minor and the hybrids and both groups had higher levels of heterozygosity relative to U. pumila. The programs Structure and NewHybrids indicated the presence of first- (F1) and second- generation (F2) hybrids and of backcrosses in the hybrid population. The presence of healthy DED resistant U. minor individuals combined with the self-compatibility of U. minor could help explain the presence of F2 individuals in Italy. The presence of F2 individuals, where most of the variability present in the hybrids will be released, could facilitate rapid evolution and the potential evolution of invasiveness of U. pumila in Italy.

He is the cutest one-eyed, disfigured pirate cat you've ever seen.
Over the past few days, pictures of Sir Stuffington (pictured above) have been widely shared online, making him the latest in a rich tradition of feline internet obsession. But there's so much more to Sir Stuffington than his adorable and funny Facebook photos. His story is one of perseverance and love, as well as internet fame.
Earlier this month, the cat and his two brothers were taken into Multnomah County Animal Services, an open-door animal shelter in Troutdale, Oregon. Sir Stuffington wasn't in good shape—his damaged jaw, his missing eye, his upper respiratory infection, his heart murmur, his body covered in fleas and dirt. (All three were about six weeks old, and came in with calicivirus.) But even before the kittens had been taken to the shelter, local resident Blazer Schaffer had stumbled upon a Facebook photo of Sir Stuffington suffering in the street, and was determined to track him down. Schaffer, an animal lover who has worked with the shelter for a decade, soon found the three kitten there. She promptly took them home as their foster parent, and is taking care of them at least for a couple months until they're healthy enough for adoption.

Prisoners is one of the year's finest films. It's a riveting and superbly acted two-and-a-half hours, carefully and smartly crafted by director Denis Villeneuve and screenwriter Aaron Guzikowski.
The film focuses on the Thanksgiving kidnapping of two daughters, one from the Dover family and one from the Birches. Hugh Jackman commands the screen as Keller Dover, a father who abducts and terrorizes Alex Jones (played by Paul Dano), a mentally impaired young man who Keller is convinced took the girls and knows where they're being held. The police investigation is led by the ultra-dedicated Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal). The movie scores high marks as a gripping mystery, and as a terrifying human drama. It's also the best argument against torture that has emerged from the film industry in a long time.
Last year, a lengthy debate began regarding Zero Dark Thirty's depiction of the United States' use of torture during the Bush administration. Some anti-torture commentators were rather generous. "It is an exposure of torture," Andrew Sullivan wrote. "It removes any doubt that war criminals ran this country for seven years and remain at large, while they scapegoated the grunts at Abu Ghraib who were, yes, merely following their superior's own orders." This point, made by Sullivan and many others at the time, is (to put it politely) excessively generous, given that ZDT offers a severe mangling of recent history that gives the viewer the impression that torture was crucial in tracking down Osama bin Laden. (It simply wasn't.) With Prisoners, however, there is no hedging on the matter. The film has nothing to do with politics or the abuses of the War on Terror, but it does depict the prolonged, illegal, and sloppy interrogation of someone for vital information.
Very quickly, Keller (Jackman) looks more like a villain than a determined and sympathetic family man. Alex's face is swollen and bloodied beyond recognition. Shards of glass protrude from his flesh. He's been drenched in streams of scalding water. There are serious doubts about whether Alex had anything to do with the abduction, and Keller's "hurt him until he talks" policy grows increasingly unsuccessful and problematic.
It is an ugly, frightening, and self-defeating act that is committed out of love and desperation. And it's a punishing depiction handled responsibly and masterfully by Villeneuve, and his cast and crew. It addresses a question we've heard many times before. For instance, in a 2006 episode of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, the panel discussed the issue of Bush-era torture and "enhanced interrogation." Actor Jason Alexander stated that if a prisoner had information on the location of his kidnapped child, he would without hesitation go "Quentin Tarantino" on him. That seems like something many parents would say, and it's not hard to understand why. But Prisoners intelligently explores the failings of that logic. What if you have the wrong person? Is this undermining effective police work? What do you lose of yourself if you go down this road? Prisoners strips any hint of heroism or romanticism from the notion of doing "whatever it takes" to save your family. Take that, Jack Bauer.
Here's a trailer for the powerful film:
Prisoners gets a release on Friday, September 20. The film is rated R for disturbing violent content including torture, and language throughout. Click here for local showtimes and tickets.

If you were born after 1970, there's a good chance that a man responsible for much of the fun in your childhood and adolescence has just died.
Hiroshi Yamauchi—who passed away Thursday from complications of pneumonia at the age of 85—may not be a household name in America; but he played a huge role (one that is hard to overstate) in shaping the video game industry. Yamauchi was born in Kyoto, Japan in 1927, and worked in a military factory as a teenager during World War II. He became president of Nintendo in 1949 (at the age of 22), succeeding his grandfather.
When he assumed power, it was a playing-card company. Over the next decades of his tenure—through his "notoriously imperialistic style" of management and doing business—Yamauchi orchestrated Nintendo's transformation into Japan's first major video game company. One of his many pivotal business decision was hiring Shigeru Miyamoto, the "father of modern video gaming" who created The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros., and Donkey Kong. Before stepping down as president of his multi-billion-dollar operation in 2002, Yamauchi had overseen the launch of Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, GameCube, and the ubiquitous Game Boy. And he decided which games Nintendo would release.
Not bad for a businessman who never played a video game and never showed any interest in enjoying them himself. But what he had was a clear vision for where the global electronic entertainment market was headed, and an eye for talent and what people craved. He was a visionary and revolutionary in the video game business in the same way that David Geffen was a visionary in modern show biz. So if you ever spent hours upon hours as a kid playing GoldenEye, then by all means raise a glass.
Now here's an old clip of him on Japanese TV news:

I felt terrible for Nina Davuluri this week after she was crowned Miss America 2013, because I knew what was coming. Davuluri is the first Indian-American woman to win the pageant. The moment that special tiara was lowered onto her fabulously coiffed head, a barrage of hateful, outraged, resentful, and predictably inaccurate tweets and posts came hurtling her way, hundreds at a time.
And my personal favorite: "WHEN WILL A WHITE WOMAN WIN #MISSAMERICA? Ever??!!" (The first nonwhite pageant winner was Norma Smallwood, of Cherokee descent, in 1926. It wouldn't happen again until 1984, when Vanessa Williams became the first black Miss America. Not a bad streak!)
Davuluri, whose parents are a software engineer and an OB/GYN from the north Indian state Andhra Pradesh, grew up in Oklahoma, and wants to become a cardiologist, went on Fox News this morning to talk about the hostility over her "race. . . and ethnicity. . . and everything," as Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy put it.
"It was an unfortunate experience, but for [each] negative tweet, there were dozens of positive remarks and support," said Davuluri. "A lot of that stemmed from ignorance, and that's why my platform is so timely right now."
Like presidents, Miss America candidates run on platforms. Davuluri's is "celebrating diversity through cultural competency." Cultural competency is that idea that everyone's responsible for sorting through their own cultural biases and trying harder when it comes to interacting with different sorts of folks. It comes up a lot in conversations about public education and health care, places where people from different backgrounds cross paths regularly and have to (or should) make it work.
"I have always viewed Miss America as the girl next door, but for me the girl next door's evolving as the diversity in America evolves," said Davuluri on Fox & Friends. "It's not who she was ten years ago, and she's not going to be the same person ten years down the road."
I cringe at the "girl next door" trope. I can't stand the Miss America contest for that matter, for reasons many, many, many smart people have articulated well elsewhere. But if someone's gonna go on Fox News and talk about being "Miss America," I prefer Nina Davuluri at the podium.
This was hardly the first time the racist side of Twitter flipped its presumably ultrablonde wig over a person of color showing up in a familiar media space. When the character of Rue from The Hunger Games, described as "dark skinned" in the book, was played by the young black actress Amandla Stenberg, angry viewers took to Twitter to complain the movie had been "ruined." When Cheerios released a commercial in which a little girl adorably pours cereal all over her (black) sleeping dad's chest because her (white) mom said Cheerios is "heart healthy," the company had to disable YouTube comments because thousands of Americans think it's still 1966.
But all this trembling at the mere sight of little brown girls hasn't stopped the rapid colorization of our country. So why bother bringing Davuluri's attackers up at all? Because of the class-act performance she's been delivering in the face of so much ugliness. She's handling the ugly backlash with grace and poise, and working in some teachable moments along the way.
A few years ago, I made a promise to myself. I'd never again eat at an Indian restaurant where scenes of "traditional" Indian women were hung on the walls, rows and rows of doe-eyed women coyly hiding their smiles beneath gauzy scarves while performing traditional Indian activities such as pouring water from jugs and strumming wooden harps. I wouldn't have held it against Nina Davuluri if she'd stuck to the high road, refusing to dignify ugly attacks with a forceful response. But it means a lot to me that she's talking back.

"The secret to world peace is... pistachios," says Simpsons guest star/retired NBA player Dennis Rodman, in a new "Get Crackin'" ad for Wonderful Pistachios. He is then murdered by explosion by a Kim Jong Un lookalike. Next, the narrator declares, "Dennis Rodman does it because he's nuts."
North Korea is the worst place in the world to live. To put it generously, it's a human rights catastrophe ruled by a 31-year-old binge-drinking, roller-coaster riding, nuclear-armed Kobe Bryant fan. Torture, forced labor, gruesome execution, and starvation are widespread. Earlier this month, the regime was suspected of restarting a plutonium-producing nuclear reactor, which would constitute a violation of UN Security Council resolutions. Rodman is an avowed sympathizer and admirer of the North Korean dictator, and has recently made controversial, faux-diplomatic trips to the country.
"Wonderful Pistachios is proud to be celebrating the fifth year of the Get Crackin' campaign," Marc Seguin, vice president of global sales and marketing at Paramount Farms (which makes Wonderful Pistachios), said in a statement on Monday. "Our brand is known for leveraging pop culture icons, internet memes and YouTube sensations, and this year will be no different. We know what type of entertainment our audience wants and there's definitely something for everyone with this year's cast." (The press release also describes Rodman as a "peace advocate.")
The Get Crackin' commercials tap into hot pop-culture news, and sometimes they get political. South Korean singer Psy (of "Gangnam Style" fame) did one for the 2013 Super Bowl. Comedian Lewis Black has starred in one. Another Get Crackin' commercial pokes fun at the 2012 Secret Service Colombia prostitution scandal, and another stars former Bristol Palin fiancé Levi Johnston. (Other examples of Wonderful Pistachios edginess include an ad featuring a whip-brandishing dominatrix.)
But this is the first time they've done one about a totalitarian mass murderer killing a celebrity with (presumably) a nuclear weapon. And some people are predictably raising their eyebrows. "Dennis Rodman's weird, terrible, un-Wonderful pistachios commercial," wrote the Washington Post's Alexandra Petri. Paramount Farms (which has been pushing the Rodman ad hard) did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But according to Wonderful Pistachios Twitter page, Rodman had a "blast" shooting the commercial.

Square dancing at the 2012 Berkeley Old Time Music Convention
When I catch fiddler Suzy Thompson on the phone, she's pretty amped to tell me about the 10th annual Old Time Music Convention in Berkeley, California. As BOTMC's director and founder, Thompson has coaxed old-time musicians from around the world to not only perform at the small annual festival, but to lead its square dances and workshops with eager local participants and amateurs. The outdoor string band contest, held at the park near the Berkeley Farmers' Market, often takes center stage: jug bands, Italian tarantellas, a Greek band complete with undulating belly dancer—"anything goes as long as it's unplugged," the program reads. The result is a gathering modeled after Appalachian fiddle and banjo conventions that emphasize "doing rather than just watching." There's not much separation between the stars and the regular folk who take part.
That attitude is what attracted Foghorn Stringband fiddler Sammy Lind to old-time music in the first place. "I was really drawn to the social aspect of it," he tells me during a break from his current tour in Washington. "I loved getting together; it felt great to be part of a crew of people like that."

Emilíana Torrini
Rough Trade
The daughter of an Italian father and Icelandic mother, Emilíana Torrini has quietly compiled a lengthy and varied resume. Formerly a member of Iceland's GusGus, she recorded "Gollum's Song" for The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, co-wrote tunes for diva Kylie Minogue, worked with Thievery Corporation and has released mind-stretching solo albums that suggest a more-grounded counterpart to space queen Bjork, including Love in the Time of Science, co-produced by Tears for Fears' Roland Orzabal.
Tookah, Torrini's first outing in five years, blends a host of influences into a single hypnotic pulse that sounds like nothing but herself, encompassing folk, soft pop, trance music, New Age and electronica. Many of the nine tracks are engagingly understated confections, but "Fever Breaks," the woozy closing song, is a deceptively brash, seven-minute tour de force that feels alternately sinister and reassuring. Prepare to be swept away, gently.

Mickey Mouse has got to be pissed.
The trailer (posted above) for first-time director Randy Moore's black-and-white horror flick Escape From Tomorrow was released online Wednesday. A hit at this year's Sundance Film Festival, the film has been riding a steady wave of publicity for the past nine months, not only for its noir-ish artistic merits, but also for the fact that it might be a heaving pile of illegality.
Escape From Tomorrow tells the story of a troubled family's trip to a Disney theme park. Their day of fun unravels into maelstrom of "paranoid visions, bizarre encounters, and an obsessive pursuit of a pair of sexy teenage Parisians," according to the film's synopsis. There is also a scene in which the lead character is vomiting and defecating simultaneously at the theme park. The movie was shot on location at both Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, and Disneyland in Anaheim, California—without the permission of the Walt Disney Company. This is an example of "guerrilla filmmaking." (Moore also reportedly edited it in South Korea to try to keep it a secret from Disney.)
Filmmakers are generally required to negotiate and secure legal access to filming locations, so it wouldn't be an enormous shock if (the famously litigious) Disney were to take legal action against the movie, particularly with its October theatrical release around the corner. One prime example of Mickey Mouse getting his litigation on was the nearly decadelong 1970s court battle Walt Disney Productions v. Air Pirates, in which a group of countercultural cartoonists published two issues of the alt-comic Air Pirates Funnies. The issues showed beloved Disney characters indulging in sex, narcotics, and naughty language. The underground artists were sued by Disney for copyright and trademark infringement, among other things. The rebel cartoonists lost every case and appeal in the eight-year saga, which ended with a whimper: Disney decided not to try to have them thrown in jail and ended up dropping the lawsuit.
So of course a large part of the film's publicity revolves around whether or not Disney will do anything to suppress it. "The following motion picture has not been approved for all audiences by the Walt Disney Company," reads a title card at the start of the trailer. The "first trailer for Escape From Tomorrow will seriously make you wonder how Disney is not suing," declares Indiewire. When asked in January if he was concerned about Disney's potential response to his film, Moore said, "Yes."
"Constantly in the back of my head there are legal things, like, 'What could happen if I say this or that?'" Moore said.
There are a lot of things you could say about Disney. It's an unsettling corporate and entertainment empire bearing the name of a far-right reactionary that manages rides that are possibly covered in dead people. But Disney executives aren't stupid, and they've been keeping very, very quiet about the film since January—already knowing that waging a legal war on a small horror movie would likely generate exponentially more attention for the filmmakers and create a situation in which Disney looks like a multibillion-dollar bully. For instance, Disney declined to sic their armada of lawyers on the people behind Exit Through the Gift Shop, a 2010 documentary that also included some rogue filming at Disneyland. Neither Disney nor Moore have responded to Mother Jones' requests for comment, and Producers Distribution Agency—which is distributing the film—did not confirm whether or not Disney has pursued any recent legal action.
Now, to drive home the point of merging Disney theme parks with surreal psychological and physical horror, here's the poster for Escape From Tomorrow:
And here's a clip from the film:

"The Gang" is back for its ninth season of dedicated nihilism and political incorrectness.
The new season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia premiered last Wednesday, this time on FX's newly launched spin-off channel FXX. The series—starring Charlie Day as Charlie, Glenn Howerton as Dennis, Rob McElhenney as Mac, Kaitlin Olson as Dee, and Danny DeVito as Frank—has a much-deserved reputation for outrageous and low-brow comedy ("Seinfeld on crack," it's been called). During a blind date with a beautiful woman, a nervous, sweat-drenched Charlie lies about his job by telling her he's a philanthropist, but mispronounces it as "full-on rapist." When Dennis visits his old frat house, the brothers are torturing a pledge with a stun gun to the genitals. You know, stuff like that. But the copious layers of crude humor mask one of the show's less appreciated virtues: Oftentimes, it gets damn political—and on a wide range of issues, from foreign policy to welfare.

"If this was only the start of the darkest part of his life, Timkin marveled at what he'd already been able to make of it."
Thus concludes Balloon Night, one of the sad yet joyous stories in Stay Up With Me, a new collection out this week from Tom Barbash, former small town reporter turned fiction writer.
Timkin, the protagonist of Balloon Night, faces an onslaught of holiday revelers streaming into his Manhattan apartment for the Thanksgiving blowout party he hosts with his wife every year. Except she left him for good two days ago, with no way to cancel the festivities on such short notice. So he endeavors to drown her absence in booze and friends until, at the climax of the night, the desperate realization that she isn't coming back sets in with an inexplicable wave of euphoria. "To Amy!" he calls out, toasting the poignancy of his pain.
The characters that populate Barbash's stories are all hurting—some of them quite badly. But it doesn't diminish their capacity for wonder. They collide with life, losing siblings and spouses, parents and children. They suffer bad stepfathers and endure the exploits of their sexually active offspring. The magic of the stories comes in the small, transcendent moments when the world crushing in doesn't seem so bad.
Barbash has published two books previously: the award-winning novel The Last Good Chance, based on the years he spent reporting in upstate New York, and the New York Times bestseller On Top of the World: Cantor Fitzgerald, Howard Lutnick, and 9/11, a nonfiction account of the revival of the financial services firm after it lost nearly seven hundred employees in the Twin Towers. He teaches in the MFA program at California College of the Arts and lives in Marin County, Calif.
I caught up with Barbash to ask about class, clueless New Yorkers, and JD Salinger's lost works.

While declaring a profit fall of 79% in its first quarter, ahead of the liquidity crisis that led to the investment bank's purchase by JPMorgan Chase, the firm said it had also received a notice from the SEC "in connection with the bidding for various financial instruments associated with municipal securities".
Bear Stearns expects to respond to the charges before the SEC makes a formal recommendation.
Net profits fell to $115 million (£58.3 million) from $554 million a year earlier. Net revenue, after interest costs, declined 40% to $1.48 billion. Results included about $600 million of writedowns tied to mortgages and leveraged finance that contributed to a 94% drop in revenue from fixed income, a traditional Bear speciality.
Meanwhile, Wachovia, the fourth-largest US bank, as expected sold $7 billion of stock and cut the dividend after bad home loans in California triggered a first-quarter loss of $393 million compared with a profit of $2.3 billion a year earlier.
Wachovia stock fell the most since the 1987 crash in New York trading after it disclosed plans to sell shares at a 14% discount to last week's closing price. It later recovered slightly to end the day down 8.1%.Reuse content

Bring a small saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus tips and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, 1 to 2 minutes, depending on size. Drain asparagus and set aside.
If using fresh peas, cook them in another small saucepan of salted boiling water until tender but still firm to the bite, 5 to 10 minutes, depending on size. Drain peas and set aside. (Asparagus and peas may be cooked several hours ahead.)
Heat the stock in a medium saucepan, and keep warm over low heat.
Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When the butter foams, add the onion and cook, stirring, until onion begins to color, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the rice and stir until it is well coated with the butter and onion, about 1 minute. Add the wine and stir until it is almost all reduced. Add about 1/2 cup of the hot stock, or just enough to barely cover the rice. Cook, stirring, until the stock has been almost completely absorbed. Continue cooking and stirring the rice in this manner, adding 1/2 cup stock at a time, for about 15 minutes. At this point the rice should be tender but still a bit firm to the bite.
Stir the artichokes, asparagus, and peas into the rice, and season lightly with salt. Add the remaining tablespoon butter and the Parmigiano. Mix quickly for 1 to 2 minutes until the butter and the cheese have melted and the rice has a moist, creamy consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning; serve immediately with additional cheese sprinkled over the top, if desired.

Amazing instructors with extensive knowledge and background in the medical field. I took the ACLS, PALS, TNCC, ENPC and BLS course. Each one was taught well, and I felt I learned so much.
The instructors were phenomenal! They actually cared about us and wanted us to succeed! They made things helpful and easy to remember over the long term.
The EMT Exam Prep was extremely helpful. The instructors all taught for the National Registry, and the main instructor taught us what we needed to know. The class had great take home resourses.

A lot of people ask me when I do a stunt,
'Jackie, are you scared?'
Of course I'm scared. I'm not Superman.

"The ads all call me fearless, but that's just publicity. Anyone who thinks I'm not scared out of my mind whenever I do one of my stunts is crazier than I am"
"I'm crazy, but I'm not stupid"
In the act of performing his own stunts, he has broken his nose three times, his ankle once, most of the fingers in his hand, both cheekbones and his skull!
He has a permanent hole in his head from a stunt accident!
Jackie Chan once shot over 2900 reakes for one scene!
He is known to most people in Hong Kong as 'Big Brother'. Sammo Hung, his "brother", is known as 'Big Big Brother' as a sign of respect in the film industry.

text: Two Bangor-area physicians have joined forces to offer a unique cosmetic surgery procedure.It's called "Smart Lipo"…it uses lasers to remove unwanted fat cells.And as Amy Erickson reports, the doctors are the first in Maine to be doing it.This is laser liposuction.And while it may look a lot like traditional lipo…there are some big differences.The patient behind the drape is wide awake…talking and listening to music."The procedure's done in an outpatient setting. No general anesthesia. So the patient is anesthetized with a topical anesthesia and given a mild sedative."Doctors Stephen Nightingale and Richard Mazzei have teamed up to form "Contours."It's a Bangor practice devoted to laser lipo…it's the only one of its kind in Maine."It's for people who are not grossly overweight but have an area of fat deposition that's been difficult to get rid of with dieting and exercising…traditional means."Here's how it works.The doctors use a laser to heat up and melt away the fat cells…they're then suctioned out through a canula.The heat from the laser also helps with the look of the skin after the procedure."That causes, over the course of a couple months, some really nice tissue tightening. So you get a better aesthetic contouring result."So why would a patient choose laser over traditional lipo done in a hospital?"You get less complications, no need for general anesthesia…it's a way of taking the fat cells out without having to put the patient to sleep.""with the use of the laser, we can reduce bruising, swelling and as a result, the patient can get back to work within just a couple of days."The doctors estimate the cost is about half of traditional lipo…since there's no hospital stay or anesthesiologist to pay for.Right now, the belly and thigh areas are the most popular with patients…but there are other options."Areas that classically need more tightening as opposed to fat removal such as the chin area or underarm area are also very popular."

Eye of the Storm
This image has been running through my head for years and I finally got it onto page *kinda*
Sitting here in a run down diner off the motorway, a frozen beer and the rain thundering down. I sat in tune to the vibrations of the radio behind the bar. The background so dim as cigarettes give out their last breath in ash trays. My skin creeps from the breeze of the world outside, occasionally a flash would light up scenery. The atmosphere felt like a living grave. Like God had forgot this place and we unfortunate souls had drift in from the storm. I watch as the liquid in my bottle vibrated out of fear from Thors wright. But then I noticed, something I had not excepted. Everything seemed... perfect. In the middle of nowhere, a storm raging outside, and here I am in a diner only lit by dim light. I found myself in what I can only describe as the eye of the storm.

Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, who is the spiritual leader of 77 million Anglicans worldwide, said Pope Benedict had been right to apologise for the offence caused and said his comments should be taken in context.
Williams comments come after a notorious Muslim extremist told a demonstration in London yesterday that the Pope should face execution.
More here...
• The Pope must die, says Muslim
• Halloween party masks 'promote evil and fear', says bishop
• Children are suffering under 'climate of fear', says Archbishop
"The Pope has already issued an apology and I think his views on this need to be judged against his entire record, where he has spoken very positively about dialogue," Williams said.
Pope Benedict, the head of the world's 1.1 billion Roman Catholics, sparked worldwide Muslim anger last week with comments which were seen as portraying Islam as a religion tainted by violence.
On Sunday the German-born Pope, elected in April last year, said he was "deeply sorry" about the reaction to his comments, which he said were "a quotation from a medieval text, which do not in any way express my personal thought".
Williams told the BBC that all faiths could be distorted, and the Pope was simply giving an example of that.
"There are elements in Islam that can be used to justify violence, just as there are in Christianity and Judaism," Williams said.
"These religious faiths, because they are held by human beings who are very fallible, can be distorted in these ways and we all need to recognise that."
The Archbishop also said he understood Muslim sensitivity to comments which appear to misunderstand the nature of Islam.
"There is a sense that Islam in Western eyes generally is written off, is regarded as wholly unreasonable and violent," he said. "There is a sense of frustration among the most moderate and educated Muslims that they don't really get a fair hearing. It goes quite deep."
