BeschreibungBrowse the course listings for most universities or colleges and chances are good that you will find a "History of Rock" class listed somewhere in their catalog. The study of rock music has become entrenched in higher learning. Yet as instructors encounter younger and younger students for whom rock's history is either a shadowy, distant phenomenon or, conversely, an entity that seems too familiar, the need for a book that illuminates rock's historical formation has become increasingly urgent. To be sure, there are numerous textbooks that supply a narrative of rock's general stylistic development. Still there exists no anthology of historically based readings that sufficiently brings to life the often contentious issues, arguments, conflicts and creative tensions that have defined rock's momentous rise and spread." The Rock History" "Reader "seeks to fill that gap.
"The Rock History Reader "is modeled after the types of annotated "source reading" collections that should be well familiar to any college classroom teacher in the Humanities. The Rock History Reader introduces students to rock as it has been received and explained as a social and musical practice during different historical eras. Arranged chronologically, this reader is perfect for the Introduction to Rock course, which usually proceeds from the roots of rock in the late '40s through today's latest trends. The editor has selected a variety of material--ranging from Chuck Berry's comments on the injustices of the music, Lester Bangs' influential style of rock criticism, Spiro Agnew's political speech on the dangers of drugs and rock music, Dick Hebdige's scholarly analysis of punk rock, or songwriter/performer JanisIan's nuanced consideration of the ramifications of online music sharing--which are designed to encourage reflection and discussion in the classroom.
Either as a primary textbook or as a supplement to a narrative history, "The Rock History Reader "promises to set a new standar

RE the Mitsubishi HC7000, your summary box at the top says $4995 MSRP, but in the body of your review you state: "Cost. At $3,995 MSRP, the cost of the HC7000 might be more than the average do-it-yourselfer would want to pay." Which is the correct MSRP?

Gay Rights and American Law
€ 34,49
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Juni 2003
BeschreibungDaniel Pinello's exhaustive study analyzes how federal and state appellate courts treated the civil rights claims of lesbians and gay men between 1981 and 2000. Pinello examines 1,439 votes by 849 appellate judges in 398 decisions and opinions from 87 courts in all federal jurisdictions and 47 states. His investigation reveals that legal variables; judges' personal attributes; environmental factors (juridical ideology, consensual sodomy statutes, and gay civil rights laws); institutional determinants (judicial selection method and term length); and time and interest group participation were significant forces in judicial policymaking.
Inhaltsverzeichnis1. Introduction; The context of the study; The cases; Case outcome variation by court system and subject matter; Geographic variation; Temporal variation; 2: Case narratives; Child custody, visitation, adoption, and foster care (CVAF); Lesbian and gay family issues not involving CVAF; Cases adjudicating sexual orientation discrimination claims not related to lesbian and gay family issues; Gays in the military; Cases adjudicating the constitutionality of consensual sodomy and related; Solicitation statutes and their Enforcement against gay people; Cases adjudicating the free speech and free association rights of gay people; Miscellaneous cases essential to lesbian and gay rights; Same-sex sexual harassment; Defamation involving homosexuality; Miscellaneous cases not essential to lesbian and gay rights; Conclusion; 3: The lesbian and gay rights claims models; The statistical analysis; Findings; Applying the models; Answers to questions posed in chapter 2; Model performance; Conclusion; 4: Judicial federalism and the 'myth of parity'; Judicial federalism variables; Findings; Conclusion; 5: A test of stare decisis; The legal literature; The political science literature; Lesbian and gay rights claims and precedent; Test one; Test two; Caveats; Conclusion; 6: Conclusion; Location, location, location; The promise of the states; The value of diversity on the bench; Time is on our side, Yes it is!; The vital role of interest groups; The power of precedent; Democrats, republicans, and gay rights; The forces motivating judicial decision making; The quantitative study of rights and of law; Epilogue.
Pressestimmen'This book provides not only an excellent survey of recent judicial developments in the law of gay rights but, even more importantly, a superb empirical study of the determinants of judicial decision making, using the context of gay rights cases. Unlike most research in this field, Pinello carefully considers the role played by the law and precedent in court opinions. His analysis is based on extensive data. I highly commend it to scholars interested in the factors involved in judicial policymaking, as well as those concerned about gay rights law. It is simply the single best study of judicial decision making of which I am aware.' Frank Cross, University of Texas, Austin 'Gay Rights and American Law makes an impressive contribution both to the contemporary debate over lesbian and gay civil rights and to the scholarly literature on the politics of judicial choice. This intriguing volume comprehensively describes critical federal and state appellate decisions adjudicating the rights claims of homosexuals. But perhaps more importantly, the book provides a scientifically rigorous analysis of judges' votes in those cases and then places its empirical findings in a framework informing extant theories of judicial choice. The work is systematic, creative, and insightful. Without question, Gay Rights and American Law is a 'must read' for anyone concerned with the fascinating politics of judicial policymaking or the struggle for civil rights in America.' Melinda Gann Hall, Michigan State University 'This marvellous, well-argued book by a political scientist rigorously tests various assumptions about when American courts and politicians advance, and when they retard, legal recognition of the human rights of gay and lesbian persons. No serious activist, scholar, or citizen can ignore its findings (for example, the crucial importance to gay and lesbian rights of both presidential judicial appointments and the diversity of judges).' David A. J. Richards, New York University 'Daniel R. Rinello provides a highly provocative empirical analysis pf how American appellate courts over the last twenty years have addressed lesbian and gay rights claims. The project is striking, not only in its scope, but also with respect to some of the conclusions Pinello draws.' Political Science Quarterly

Chapter 14.2Mature
Beth smiled and looked up at him. Robert smiled back at her and took her hand. She walked beside Robert, looking around the neighbourhood. She didn't remember ever being in this part of town. Were they even still in town?
"We are," Robert said, as if she'd said the question aloud. She made a mental note to ask him about it later.
Beth followed Robert to a house that seemed to be empty and they went around to the back. Robert stepped over the low fence and lifted Beth over it, leaving her sides tingling where he'd touched her.
Robert crouched down in front of the back door of the large house, tapping at the lock.
"What do you think, stellina? Shall we break the lock?" he asked, looking up at her from where he was kneeling.
"Won't that be a bit obvious?" Beth pointed out.
"Hm. We'll have to pick the lock then. Never been a man of patience," he whispered to himself.
He pulled something out of his pocket and set it down beside him. It was a little box. Robert opened it and when Beth saw its contents, she knew exactly what it was.
"Why exactly do you have a set of lock picks?" she asked.
"You never know when you might need to break into a house," he murmured. "Now, zitto, tesorina."
She assumed that meant 'be quiet'. She watched Robert pick the lock. It didn't take long and within five minutes, the door was open.
Robert gestured for her to enter first. Beth walked in but stopped when she realised Robert wasn't following her.
"Care to invite me in?" he asked, his old smirk on his lips.
"But... why can't you come in?"
"Well, clearly, someone lives here, carissima. Two someones in fact," he said.
"Come in," she said.
Then Robert was gone and it took her a moment to realise he was silently rifling through pieces of paper on the desk behind her.
"Whose house are we in, exactly?" she asked, turning around.
"Zitto," he murmured again. "The house of Miranda and Liam Perry."
"The people you've been stalking?"
"Spying on, not stalking. There is a difference, my love."
"Ooh," he said quietly, straightening up.
"Found something?" Beth asked.
"Indeed I have. This might interest you." He handed her the sheet of paper.
Whatever it was had been handwritten. And whoever wrote had either copied it, or knew Latin. Beth began to read through whatever it was.
"It talks about vampires," she said to Robert, who was still looking through documents. "And a hidden room, somewhere in the house. But, I don't know what this word means."
Suddenly, the piece of paper was plucked from her hands.
"It means most evil, or evillest. Whichever you prefer," Robert said, handing it back to her.
"You know Latin?" she asked him as he walked back to the desk.
"Every aristocratic young man did. I studied it for the last eleven years of my life. Wrote a book in Latin too."
"What about?"
"Demons, Hell, the Devil, that sort of thing. Got into trouble over it."
"Why?" Beth asked, continuing with her translation.
"A young Catholic boy writing a book that was considered Satanic in nature, I should think not. Fifty lashes and locked in the pantry for a week. I wished I'd never bothered. Still have it somewhere."

Kohlrabi is King
Every year the Whitman Report, a restaurant and dining trends report from New York consulting group Baum and Whiteman, tracks the foodie trends we'll be seeing more of, including many with a direct impact on what we grow in our gardens and what we then whip up in our kitchens. One hot trend: lots and lots more veggies. Step aside kale, there's a new sheriff in town! Root veggies will be big says the Whitman Report, with celery root, parsnips and kohlrabi pushing aside fave chef veggies like Brussels sprouts. Try our recipe for kohlrabi fries >>
Savory Yogurts
Veggie-flavored yogurts incorporating beets and other savory flavors are a big food trend.
Savory-Infused Honey
Infused honeys have been popular for some time. But now, driven by adventurous chefs, honeys infused with peppers and other piquant flavors are big: think chili honey, habanero honey, jalapeno honey, ghost chili honey and ginger-citrus honey. Learn how to make honey infused with rosemary, citrus and other delicious flavors >>
Hummus Is Hot
Step aside salsa, and make way for America's newest favorite dip, hummus. This Mediterranean chick-pea based dip has been gaining ground, and Google reports it is now more popular than our beloved salsa. Look for ever-more exotic varieties, like this Sweet Potato hummus recipe, and flavors like beet, pumpkin, spinach-artichoke, edamame and guacamole hummus.
Seaweed Soars in Sea-to-Table
Seaweed is an emerging food trend, beyond its familiar use in sushi. This kale of the sea obviously won't be grown in gardens anytime soon, but foragers who search the wild for mushrooms, berries, nuts and other edible resources, can add seaweed to their list of harvest-able ingredients. Chefs love the savory flavor seaweed brings to soups and risottos.
Garden-Infused Beer
In Mexico, they're known as Micheladas or cerveza preparada: beer infused with a variety of flavors from corn powder to ponzu, hot sauce to tomato juice. One more way for gardeners to put their produce to new, novel use. Try this Food Network recipe for a Michelada doused with hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce or this tasty flavor featuring salt and fresh lime juice.
Herbal Liqueurs or How to Infuse Your Booze
Botanical ingredients, from herbs to citrus peel, and flowers to spices, are adding interest—and garden chops—to cocktails. Learn how to infuse your booze with garden ingredients >>
Flavored Salt
Flavored salts will be big in 2015. Salt with eau de bacon, saffron, vanilla, porcini and smoked paprika, among other flavors are already hot stuff. Put a garden spin on your flavored salt by adding herbs or citrus to sea salt with this tutorial.
Flavored Waters
Cucumber and coconut water have had their day in the sun. But get ready, say the folks at the Whiteman Report, for ever more exotic flavored waters, as in coffee, mango, maple and even birch sap waters. Find our recipe for delicious aguas frescas sparkling waters here >>
Insect Protein
Most gardeners are probably more concerned with keeping grasshoppers and other insects out of the garden. But according to the food trend experts at the Whiteman Report, bugs are becoming the hottest thing in the food world since sliced bread. The ultimate renewable resource, bugs have already yielded all manner of interesting eats, from protein bars to ladybug flour to grasshopper pasta.
Pistachio Tree
Pistachios are a rising food trend say the experts at the Whiteman Report. Get our recipe for pistachio pesto >>
Pimm's Cup
The perfect garden cocktail: the herbacious and delicious Pimm's Cup trending big time. Make your own with this easy recipe from Food Network.
Fermented Food
From sauerkraut to kimchi, fermented food has been trending big time in the garden and homesteading worlds. Now it's also making big waves in the rest of the world, called one of the biggest recent food trends by the experts at the Whiteman Report. Shown above, our recipe for Fermented Bean Paste Stew With Sweet Potato Leaves is delicious way to try this food trend at home.
Bitter Greens
Bitter greens—kale, collards, rabe, mustard, dandelions—hold some major sway. The toothsome texture of these substantial greens makes them ideal for a variety of cooking techniques—chips, sauces, soups—which is why chefs love them. Start the new year right with this recipe for braised greens and black-eyed peas >>
Plant-Based Proteins
As Americans become more and more concerned with health (and more and more likely to have a vegetable garden in their front or backyard), legumes, greens and other quality proteins are moving to the front of the menu, replacing the typical steak or chicken breast.

"Just when Jay Garrick is considering retiring as the Flash, he is forced into his most heroic role yet. A meta-terrorist attack threatens downtown Monument Point, and the JSA responds in force. Six hours of fighting later, the city's core has been destroyed, the JSA's been beaten down...and the Green Lantern's neck is broken! Even with the life of his best friend hanging by a thread in the hospital, the Flash realizes that his place is with the people of Monument Point, rebuilding and protecting the city.

He's got wicked plans ahead of him and a trail of dead behind him and he's bringing the man that broke the Green Lantern with him."--P. [4] of cover.… (more)

More than one million people across the UK will visit their GP practice today. Yet we GPs are being portrayed as lazy, uncaring doctors who spend all day twiddling our thumbs and abandoning our patients at 5pm sharp. This is not true and it is doing a great disservice to general practice and to our patients.
GPs are used to being scapegoated, but I cannot sit back and allow my profession to be held responsible for the problems in A&E as a result of opting out of out-of-hours care nearly 10 years ago. There are numerous reasons why our colleagues working in emergency departments (ED) are currently under pressure – but GPs are not one of them. Indeed, the Department of Health's own data has shown that ED attendances have actually been relatively stable over the last few years, and in fact in London have decreased slightly. Overall, ED has experienced around a 1 per cent increase year-on-year in attendances, in line with population increases.
There was a sharp jump in recorded attendances before the 2004 contractual changes, and this continued immediately afterwards. But this was due to changes in recording, and to less serious work being carried out in minor injury services and GP-led services located in the emergency department (yet coded as an ED attendance). This accounts for the "massive" increase in ED attendances.
There is no evidence to suggest that access to GP out-of-hours services is poor. Nearly 80 per cent of patients responding to the GP Patient Satisfaction Survey (GPPS) rated the "ease of contacting the out-of-hours GP service by telephone" as "very easy" or "fairly easy". Some 82 per cent of patients said that they "definitely" or "to some extent" had confidence and trust in their out of hours clinician.
Of course improvements can be made and we must look at ways of doing so. But GPs have continued to provide out-of-hours care, and changes to our contracts have meant that most practices now offer extended hours while continuing to provide out-of-hours care through GP cooperatives, walk-in clinics and, more recently, urgent care centres. Today over 90 per cent of all activity – in and out of hours, urgent and routine care – is undertaken by GPs and their teams.
Throughout the A&E debate, GPs have also been constantly criticised for being "overpaid and not working hard enough", and I think it's important here to bust a few myths once and for all. General practice is becoming increasingly challenging and complex – we have an ageing population and patients who present with more complex and multiple conditions. It is this epidemic of chronic and complex diseases that is placing the biggest pressure on our health service, and management of such conditions for their patients is what GPs do best.
GPs have seen consultation rates explode in recent years and family doctors are now facing ballooning workloads with record hours being worked in surgeries. We routinely see up to 60 patients on a daily basis whereas even 10 years ago this would happen only in exceptional circumstances, such as a flu outbreak.
GPs make the NHS safe and effective and we represent incredible value for money. Our patients still trust us more than any other professionals in the NHS. A year of care by a GP practice for one patient is around £100 to £150 – equivalent to one or two attendances at the local emergency department and less than one 999 ambulance call out.
So, what's the answer? Going back to 2004 when GPs were working unsustainably long hours, often to the detriment of their own health, is simply not an option. It is neither affordable, nor logistically feasible and there is no evidence to suggest that it will improve care for patients. Patient needs have changed and the challenges we face are different. Patients do not want tired GPs doing night shifts and then not being available for consultations the next day.
We need to find a way of addressing the problems of continuity of care, in and out of hours, and in and out of hospital while ensuring that we provide accessible urgent care for all. A mixed model is needed to provide this, with GPs and other practitioners playing their equal part. A fully functional and properly funded NHS 111 service will help address the confusion about which service to call out of hours and should provide a single point of contact that sits between GP in-hours services and A&E.
We need to ensure the system works smoothly for individual episodes of care, where patient access to appropriate services generally takes priority. But at the same time, we need to ensure the growing number of people with long term conditions – who need on-going support rather than single episodes of care – are able to rely on a joined up system that delivers continuity of care. At the moment there is a lack of integration and continuity, with many different access points for urgent care. What we need to do is to simplify access and ensure that there are bespoke solutions to special populations, such as the frail elderly and those at the end of the lives.
I am thick-skinned but it has been really difficult to witness the vilification in the media and elsewhere of hard-working GPs who are doing their best for their patients. With greater investment and support – including more doctors – we can do even more. GPs are the solution to problems in the NHS, not the cause.

This week, I decided to talk a little about the Higgs Boson, which was inspired by this link and discussion that Joe is having with Eric Sotnak:
In the comments, something that Eric said caught my eye:
According to the best models we have of Quantum Mechanics, events in the very early universe were truly random.
I asked Joe about this, and he said something about how they can have causes even if they are random, and about how you can't look at sub-atomic particles and say if they are un-caused or not.
This brought be back to the Higgs Boson concept that I heard about before:
The Higgs Boson is an elementary particle in the Standard Model of particle physics. It is the quantum excitation of the Higgs Field -- a fundamental field of crucial importance to particle physics theory.
In the last few years, Joe and Joel from Evolution by Design did blog entries on this concept, and what it means as far as God is concerned:
Check in the comments section of the second link for some good discussion. I especially found the ramblings of a one Bill Walker very hilarious and sad at the same time.
Joel also made some good points in the first link, especially about how those scientists seem to "urgently need" an answer that leaves God out of the picture.

Pinsent Masons has ended its recession-driven flexible working scheme, having saved approximately £2m and around 50 jobs from the initiative.
A total of 204 staff, largely corporate and property lawyers, signed up to the one-year scheme, which saw them receive a minimum of 80 per cent of their salaries. In return they received 13 weeks' additional annual leave at nominal pay. Pinsents launched one major redundancy programme, resulting in 19 job losses.
In a further sign that the firm has emerged from the recession, Pinsents paid its non-partner bonus as normal this year. In 2009 bonuses were scaled back by a third because the firm failed to hit budget.
In addition, Pinsents recently completed a support staff pay review, which gave staff the option of receiving their annual pay raise in the form of a lump sum rather than having the increase spread throughout the year.

The Three Mucketeers
When I was in full form, I trotted over to a puddle, admiring my eyes in the water. Instead of glowing gold, mine were silver. They could never explain that. but I could care less. It made me different, like I knew I was.
I am a natural white haired blond, but as a wolf, my head was black thanks to the dye, and everywhere else I was white. Well, except for my shoulder blades and chest, there it was gray, from the blending of the black and white.
I stomped threw the water, and ran.
I put all of my frustrations, passion, irritation, and feelings in my running. My paws beat against my dirt, leaving prints and echoes through the forest.
I don't know how long I ran, but I ran long enough that the rain became heavier. Soaking my fur, and the mud. I slipped more than once, sinking myself into muck.
It only took more than a few minutes of running for the rain to wash the worst of it off, and another few minutes for me to make it muddy again.
My paws were turning around when I hit some piles of rocks. I was about to turn around and run back when a deep growl sounded above me. I looked up, backing up slowly.
"Look what we have here, Mildew." Snarled a groveling voice in my mind.
Werewolves can send each other messages and images, and sadly, I am more attuned than most. I can hear a lot of messages sent to other werewolves that I am not supposed to hear.
Example: Like this.
When I backed up far enough, I could see a black wolf, with a gray and brown one to his left and right.
The gray one was the one with the groveling voice, a grin with lots of teeth, yellow, of course.
"Down, pup." What I suspect was Mildew said. The gray one whimpered and closed his trap. He stayed alert, his ears bending back every now and then.
"What do you want to be done with her, boss?" I growled, a deep throat wrenching one that had the gray one backing up until Mildew barked for him to stop being a pansy.
"Calm down, girly, we just want to know what you're doing on our land. Not hunting, I hope." Mildew said calmly, a warning in there that if I ran, they would chase. His voice sounded gruff, deep, and threatening even though he sounded like he was trying to sound playful.
"Just out for a run," I said testily, my ears bending back.
"Well these are our parks, and what is on our territory, is our territory." The brown one said, southern accent.
I barked at him, backing up from the rocks.
"How about we all run, together?" The black one said, swinging his head from the brown one and to the gray one. "Sound good, boys?"
They didn't answer, but kept watching me. Mildew looked at me, his tong out of the corner of his mouth. "Sound good, little girl?"
"You know very well that they aren't just thinking about running." I snarled. The brown one growled a warning.
"You gonna let her talk to ya' like that Mildew?"
"Shut the hell up, Ash!" He barked. Ash whimpered, when Mildew took a step toward him. While he was turned I ran.
"Mildew, she getting' away!" I ran on the adrenaline of being chased by Night Watchers, staying alert at the idea that they would kill me, but not until they did what they wanted to me before death.
I ran quickly, the night flying by at the corner of my eyes, I leaped over some trees. The rain was coming down hard, and thunder rumbled the air.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Mildew to the right of me, running at the same pace.
"What are you waiting for? Jump her, Ash." He growled, no playful tone now, but he didn't know I could hear him. My ears bent back, and I located Ash's position and ran to the left.
A few seconds after I moved, Ash's body landed where I was. His body hit the ground with such a heavy impact it echoed in the forest, but could easily be mistaken for thunder.
He slipped in the mud, but caught himself before he fell.
He shot me a scowl, and moved to his left, closer to me. I sped up, going under a tree when lightning struck it. I kept running, and didn't look back.
I was coming to the end of the forest, the trees decreasing as I ran. I wasn't about to slow down, quite the opposite. I sped up until I couldn't run any faster. I was almost out when something ran at me from my right, ramming into my side. I went flying, my back smacking against a tree trunk. I whimpered, and my vision blurred. I blinked back stars, to see Mildew walking toward me, his black fur wet and a doggy grin on his face.

Basically, this is a very self-expressive piece of writing for me but please do not judge me for it!
"I swear, there's no-one else but you baby. Trust me" I can hear him. He's telling his girlfriend that he isn't cheating on her. The "perfect" Jayson Christian Carter is telling his "soul mate", Beth Roberts, that it's her and no-one else forever.
He's lying: again.
Allow me to explain because, right now, you must be pretty confused as to just how I know he's both a liar and a cheat. Here's the excruciatingly painful truth; I'm the one he's been seeing behind her back. Well, kinda seeing.
Yeah, the truth hurts; a lot. Believe me; I know I shouldn't be helping him be unfaithful with full knowledge of just how much chaos will be unleashed when Beth finds out our secret. But what can I do when he shamelessly flirts with me? He's totally irresistible. 1000% irresistible. And no; that wasn't a typo. I'm actually being completely and utterly serious about how talented he is at flirting and about how alluring he is to every girl within a mile of where his size-8 feet are standing.
But, come on. If some 6 foot 2, tanned, muscular guy with gorgeous, eternally deep bright green eyes came up to you and flirted shamelessly with you, what would you do? He's perfect. With his flawless skin, perfectly straight and blindingly white teeth and his casually clingy clothes that are perfect for showing off his perfectly sculpted abs. It's probably helps that he's from a fairly rich background since his dad'stheDouglas Carter: successful entrepreneur. This obviously means he has money. He can do whatever he wants with it; this probably includes paying someone professional to tutor him and either having a membership to a great gym or having a great gym in his house.
My point is that he's perfect. Nothing ever goes wrong for him because, if it does, he can justbuyhis way out! And another thing is I know for a fact he's cheated before. I know this because I've seen him. All the time; he's constantly flirting with girls and kissing them! And sometimes … sometimes even more. Urgh! He's … he's … he just doesn't seem to realise the problem with flirting and being in a relationship at the same time!
I'm broken out of my thoughts by the sound of her heels clicking on the hard linoleum floor. She was heading in my direction! As I panic about her finding out the truth, she doesn't even acknowledge my existence and walks straight past me.This is it;I think to myself,this is my chance to stop it all.

From the margins
History teaches that marginalizing people does not generate more agreement and peaceful results (Harper Needs To Stay The Course – Jan. 14). The marginalized become ever more desperate to have their views heard; militancy quickly emerges as their only option and desperate people care little for public opinion.
Ethics teaches that governments have moral responsibilities to all citizens, not simply to their base or to a general public opinion. Even if the public finds something futile, or even opposes it, it may still be the government's moral duty to press forward. Public opinion once opposed civil rights and the vote for women.
The government has a moral obligation to see to it that smaller, vulnerable groups be heard, and not simply dismissed in the name of "staying the course" – a euphemism for "clinging to power."
Richard Feist, ethics professor, Saint Paul University, Ottawa
Idle No More has brought a virulent racism into the open. Reading online comments can be very disturbing, with many of the remarks fed by ignorance.
Graham Watt, Sackville, N.B.
Kudos to the indigenous leaders who chose to meet with the Prime Minister to make life tangibly better for their people (Better To Be Inside Than Outside – editorial, Jan. 12). Indigenous Canadians need leaders, not divas. They don't need the self-serving antics of Chief Theresa Spence and the bitter losers from the last Assembly of First Nations election. They don't need blockade-loving populists who preach a phony veto over government action.
The Crown today is the federal government. Admitting that reality, and working with Ottawa in a useful way, separates the real leaders from the pretenders.
Derek Smith, Toronto
Chief Theresa Spence is fulfilling a necessary and heroic function for Canada. With her insistence on the presence of the Governor-General as the Queen's representative, she is demonstrating the truth that the first peoples of this land, through the Royal Proclamation of 1763 and pre-Confederation treaties, have a nation-to-nation relationship with the Crown and not with Canada.
Instead of partnership in Canadian Confederation, first peoples were handed the Indian Act as the ultimate colonial control of first people by Canada. How tragically ironic that Canada achieves self-rule, then acts as a colonizer to the first peoples of this land.
Carol Vignale, Tsawwassen, B.C.
Just wondering
Efforts are being made to "refloat" the Costa Concordia (The Largest Salvage Operation In History – Jan. 12). Is the Liberal Party of Canada following this story?
Farley Helfant, Toronto
Barriers are many
I am glad you concluded that just because the treatment of suicidal teens is not perfect, it should still be pursued (Long Way To Go – editorial, Jan. 14). Fully 45 per cent of suicidal teens in the study did not receive treatment. That is a sobering statistic, and raises the question: Why didn't they?
As you note, one big reason is lack of resources – in all of Canada, there are only about 450 child psychiatrists. Waiting lists are prohibitively long. Psychologists and social workers are not covered by medicare. Other professionals on the front line – teachers, police officers, pediatricians and family doctors – get woefully inadequate training in the area of recognizing and triaging mental illness in adolescents. So the barriers are many.
Let's use this study as a wake-up call for improving the quantity, quality and accessibility of treatment for troubled teens.
Marshall Korenblum, chief psychiatrist, Hincks-Dellcrest Centre for Children and Families, Toronto
Only in Victoria …
The review of the book written by Stephen Reid – "Canada's most infamous bank robber" – reminded me of an unusual school field trip (Hard Time, Strong Words – Books, Jan. 12).
In 2000, while I was working in a Victoria elementary school, it was decided that our Grade 7 students would try lawn bowling. After a presentation by two lively septuagenarians, we set off for Victoria Lawn Bowling Club.
We got off the bus and were crossing the road when we heard loud bangs and saw a small car speeding away with police cruisers in pursuit. The student beside me asked, "Was that a gun shot?"
"Surely not," I said, hurrying the students into the pavilion. It turned out that the driver of the car was Stephen Reid, hours before his arrest.
To those who would never place "Victoria" and "excitement" in the same sentence, I say: Only in Victoria could Grade 7 students go lawn bowling and get involved in a bank robbery.
Jennifer Ferris, Victoria
Where's the logic?
Some distinguished Canadian educators, members of the Facts in Education panel, write to say "there is no evidence that strong teacher unions are inconsistent with high quality education" (Union Impact – letters to the editor, Jan. 14).
We're left to infer that teacher unions are related to high achievement, based on the fact that "virtually all of the high performing countries" have "strong teacher unions." Of course, there is no logical basis for inferring that strong teacher unions cause high student achievement, as there are many other factors that affect achievement.
Malkin Dare, president, Society for Quality Education, Waterloo, Ont.
The taste of home
Europeans have only themselves to blame for a glut of illegal Chinese garlic ('Big Money' In Illegal Garlic – Jan. 10). Consumers buy the stuff, and dealers – both honest and unscrupulous – will always try to meet the demand.
Here in Canada, grocery shoppers complain all the way to the cash register about the quality of cheap imported garlic, but never about price. There are dozens of excellent varieties of garlic being cultivated here, from porcelains and rocamboles to purple stripes and silverskins, but in quantities too small to compete. It's only when consumers in this country insist on top-quality Canadian garlic, and are willing to pay the price, that the dominance of flavourless imported garlic will end.
Les Bowser, Omemee, Ont.
Singular relief
As someone living alone, I am interested in reading about the increasing number of Canadians who choose to live solo (The Rise Of The Single Life – Focus, Jan. 12).
You write that "independent living has come a long way from the stereotypes of spinsters hoarding cats and feckless eternal bachelors." Like the woman featured in your article, I'm no stranger to the "lonely spinster" stereotype. I was relieved to know, however, that unlike some of my cohort, I have never hoarded feckless bachelors.

If coverage of the CIA operative whose intel was instructive in capturing Osama Bin Laden reminded you of a certain Emmy-winning TV show, you're not alone. Maureen Dowd has written a piece for the New York Times comparing the real-life operative, known in Kathryn Bigelow's upcoming movie as "Maya" and Clare Danes' character from Homeland.
"Like Carrie, she's a talented analyst but not, according to colleagues, Miss Congeniality," writes Dowd, referencing a profile of the agent written by The Washington Post's Greg Miller, in which Miller reveals "Maya" was passed over for promotion following the successful operation.
Interestingly, Dowd also points out there is a third controversial, powerful woman at the centre of this story: Kathryn Bigelow, the 61-year-old director of Bin Laden movie Zero Dark Thirty and - as late as 2009 - the first ever woman to win an Academy Award for Best Director. "Bigelow, too, sets off waves of envy in her insular community," says Down. "The glamorous 61-year-old, the first woman to win a best director Oscar, for The Hurt Locker, has become Hollywood's unsentimental premier chronicler of war. After worrying about criticism of their CIA access from the right, Bigelow and Boal are now the toasts of the right."

Which is Which?Mature
A set of twins, Justin and Anthony, are really close and have been by each others side since they were born. But what happens when someone gets in between the two? This is a BL so if you don't like it, don't read it.
It all started out as an accident. I never meant for any of this to happen. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
My twin brother, Justin, and I went to the bar today. He always goes to the bar after he gets into a fight with his lover. Apparently, Justin had kicked his lover out after he supposedly 'cheated' on him. If you didn't know my brother, you would think he did the right thing. But really, he's a tease. Once he gets what he wants from you, he throws you away like nothing.
"God! I hate that bastard!" Justin yells. Here he goes on one of his dumb rants. "Why would someone cheat on a person like me? I mean, look at me, I'm amazing!" I rolled my eyes, knowing that his egotistical tirade was about to start.
"Shut up, you always get all high and mighty when your drunk," I stated. But hell, even when you're sober your like this. I finished the last of my beer and took out my wallet. "Come on, lets get your drunk ass home." I grabbed Justin's arm and dragged him outside after paying for our drinks. Justin continued on with his drunk rant.
"Why do I always pick a jerk for a partner? Forget it, from now on," he wrapped his arms around my neck, "you're gonna be the only man in my life, bro." I laughed at his stupidity, prying his arms from my neck.
"Okay, whatever little brother. Just don't crawl into my bed at night." I know what you might be thinking, but our relationship isn't like that. We are just really close brothers. We even work in the same company. I love him in a brotherly way. We have a bond that is unbreakable, I mean, we're twins after all.
We walked out of the bar and out onto the crowded street. The snowy, smoke drenched air was refreshing compared to the musty, drunk smell of the bar. We walked for no more than half before Justin rushed into an ally and threw up. I leaned onto a bike rail while waiting for the pitiful fool to finish throwing up the money I spent for his eight beers. Looking up to the sky, I looked for the stars but couldn't find any. I guess the city lights are too bright for the night sky.
"Justin!" yelled a guy running down the street. I turned to find a guy who was about 6 foot 4. He had shaggy black hair and was wearing a long brown coat with a red scarf. I don't blame him, it's cold with all this snow. The guy ran right up to me and bent over, gasping for air. "Justin, there you are!" the man heaved, trying to catch his breath," I've been looking all over for you." Oh crap, I've been mistaken for Justin… again.
"Look man, you've got the wrong-"
"No, just listen to what I have to say," he interrupted, "It's not what you thought. The man I was having lunch with was my boss. He wanted me to help him with a huge business deal. I love only one person and that's you." This must be the one Justin kicked out. I knew he was over reacting about this guy who was supposedly cheating on him.
"Look man, I said you-" Before I could finish, he grabbed my shoulders and pressed his lips passionately against mine. I tried to push him away but he had a strong grip. He moved his hands to the back of my neck and continued to kiss me. He is getting way too into this. The worst thing of all was that I started to feel his passion. I grabbed his wrists and tried to pull him off. Another failed attempt.
The guy finally let go and I glanced over my shoulder and saw Justin standing right in front of us. It seemed like he was about to cry. I have never seen him like that, and to know that I'm a part of the cause makes me want to jump off a cliff.
"Anthony? Wait, Justin," The man looked at me and pointed to Justin, "Why are there two of you? And why is he calling you Anthony?" He seemed even more confused than Justin.
"You dumb ass, I'm Justin!" he yelled, "That is my twin brother Anthony! Why are you kissing him?" Justin looked so angry he could melt the snow falling around us.
"Justin, it's not what it looks like. He just came up to me thinking I was you. I didn't do this on purpose," I explained hurriedly, distancing myself from the man. "Listen, lets just think about-" Justin right hooked me straight in the jaw. I was completely shocked. Never once has he ever hit me.
"How could you do this to me? You knew I was upset about Walter cheating on me," Justin cried, "If you think I'll forgive you, you have another thing coming. Don't talk to me, ever!" He started to walk away when the man, apparently named Walter, grabbed his arm.
"Wait, I didn't know that you had a twin," he said, still utterly confused, "I'm so sorry. I had no idea." Justin yanked his arm away from his grasp.
"Don't touch me ass hole! I never want to see you again either." Walter was taken aback. It looked like Justin had shot him in the chest. Justin stomped away, called a cab and left. People who stopped and watched the incident walked away as well. But me? I just stood there, still shocked and surprised. I had lost my brother in such a short amount of time because of this buffoon, Walter.
Speaking of which, he stood in his spot as well. But instead of staring after Justin, he stared at me. This disgusted me. After all that had happened he still had the nerve to look at me with eyes of passion. I'm not Justin!
"This is all your fault," I muttered. Frustrated, I started off to my car and took another glance back at Walter, his eyes still on me. I huffed and continued walking down the street to my car, driving away in rage. I have to get Justin back, I thought to myself, I just have too.

New Snag in Folk Art Museum's Hunt for a Home
By DAVID W. DUNLAP
Published: June 5, 1993
On and off again for a dozen years, the plan to build a permanent home for the Museum of American Folk Art at the base of a new office tower in mid-Manhattan now seems to be unraveling.
An affiliate of Investcorp, the international investment bank that was once a partner in the development project, has moved to foreclose the mortgage on four of six vacant brownstones owned by the museum on West 53d Street, said Ralph Esmerian, the president of the museum's board.
If there is a foreclosure, Mr. Esmerian said, it will be impossible to build what was envisioned as a three-story cube with a 40,000-square-foot museum and a 31-story office building rising behind it, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. 'More Elusive Than Ever'
"Our permanent home on 53d Street, where the museum started in the 1960's, is now more elusive than ever," Mr. Esmerian said yesterday in a telephone interview.
About two-thirds of the new building would have been used as exhibition space for the permanent collection, "most of which we don't see all at once," Mr. Esmerian noted. The collection, some 5,000 objects, includes folk-art paintings and sculpture, furniture, ceramics, weather vanes and quilts dating from the 18th to the late 20th centuries.
Until 1986, the museum was at 49 West 53d Street, one of the six brownstones in question, between the Avenue of the Americas and Fifth Avenue, near the Museum of Modern Art. Today, its gallery is at Two Lincoln Square, on Columbus Avenue, between 65th and 66th Streets. This was intended to be the satellite of the new 53d Street building. A Contingency Plan
Although the museum still hopes to strike a new deal with Investcorp, Mr. Esmerian said, there is a contingency plan to replace the two brownstones it owns free and clear. But that would yield a much more vertical building not nearly as desirable for exhibitions. And it would require a $15 million to $20 million fund-raising effort.
Mr. Esmerian said the mortgage was originally $9.5 million but that, with interest, the indebtedness probably amounted now to $12 million, on property that might be worth only $3 million to $4 million.
"No cultural institution, no nonprofit institution can afford that kind of buyback at this point," he said. But he added that there was no way to negotiate because Investcorp "shut the door right in our face." Controls Saks and Carvel
Investcorp, which is based in Bahrain, London and New York, controls Saks Fifth Avenue, the Carvel Corporation and Dellwood Foods; has a 50 percent stake in Gucci and once owned Tiffany & Company.
"An institution like Investcorp should find a way to work out something for the benefit of New York City, from which they've obtained terrific benefits," said Robert W. Gottlieb of Rosenman & Colin, a lawyer for the museum.
A spokesman for Investcorp, who asked not to be named, emphasized that Investcorp itself was no longer directly involved in the matter, having dropped out because "the property market and the capital market conditions were so depressed." The affiliate pursuing the foreclosure is A.I.B.C. Investcorp Finance, whose office is in Amsterdam.
The spokesman said there were no current plans for the 53d Street property, other than A.I.B.C.'s trying to obtain title.
The other partner in the original project was Lionel R. Kustow, of London & New York Estates. Began Buying Buildings in 1979
The museum bought the first two brownstones, Nos. 45 and 47, in 1979, and four more in 1982. Mr. Esmerian said the mortgage was taken out on Nos. 49 through 55 to get a "fresh source of monies" to buy out 24 tenants who remained in the buildings, pay off an existing mortgage and pay legal and architectural fees.
The idea, Mr. Esmerian said, had been that Investcorp and London & New York Estates would pay for the site the museum had assembled, as well as for the construction of the new museum's shell and core. The mortgage payment would have been deducted from that.
A foreclosure motion begun last year was withdrawn, Mr. Gottlieb said, after it was disclosed that A.I.B.C. Investcorp Finance was not authorized to do business in New York State and therefore did not have the standing to sue.
Since then, A.I.B.C. Investcorp Finance has registered with the New York State Department of State to do business as a foreign corporation.

Archie tells Kate the Secret
"Instrument case."
"Where was it? Why is it still on the train? You don't have any right to sneak into it." Kate said. "Anything of interest in it?"
"Guns, were in it," Archie said. "two Colts and a Derringer."
Kate said, "Maybe he sells them. Were they new?"
"They weren't new and they were loaded."
They were interrupted by white coated waiter, bringing his coffee and her tea, and a plate of scones. After the waiter left, Kate asked, "Where are they now?"
"Back in the compartment, where I found them."
"Archie, you can't leave them there," Kate said. "What if someone steals them, then we'll get the blame."
They sat in silence for a couple of minutes.
Archie placed his linen napkin on the table, then slid out of his seat. "I'll get it."
It was several long minutes before Kate spotted Archie winding his way through the morning diners. He leaned into the table and deposited the case next to the outside wall.
"This thing is heavy," Archie said, sitting down.
Leaning across the table, their heads almost touching, they spoke in whispers. Archie said, "Do you think he could be an outlaw?"
"Oh, no silly. He looks as much an outlaw as you do. If you didn't have that ugly mustache you two would look like brothers."
"Besides, outlaws don't dress in suits and ties. What we'll do is wait until uncle Herold picks us up this afternoon and tell him about it. He'll know what to do."
Their appetite gone, they made their way back to the compartment. Kate wanted to see the guns. After locking the door, Archie opened up the case, and removed the top panel. Kate reached for a pistol and Archie pushed her hand away. He said, "I told you they are loaded. Don't touch."
Kate said, "I know as much about guns as you, and I have as much right as you."
"Ok," Archie said, "Here." He handed her the Derringer.
She handled it cautiously. "It looks new.These are pearl handles, I think."
Archie held out his hand for the gun.
Kate pouted, but returned the Derringer to Archie. At that moment there was a sharp rap on the door. Archie stuffed the pistol into his waist band, as Kate slammed the case closed and snapped it.
Archie answered the knock. It was the conductor telling them that there would be a delay of a few hours at Dawson, due to a lightening storm that had knocked down one or more trees across the tracks. He said they would be allowed to leave the train, but to stay within the sound of the whistle.
Within minutes, after the conductor departed, they felt the train start to slow. Kate rushed to the WC to apply make-up. She always tried to look her best when there were young men around. Archie sat, trying to decide what to do with Doc's guns. The case was too heavy to carry around, but he didn't dare leave the guns in the compartment. In the end he left the top tray with the actual instruments in the compartment and took the guns with him.
Kate and Archie make a charming couple as they stepped from the train

Bats as Role Models
Siemens presents fascinating material from ultrasound technology at the Expo in Japan
Bats use acoustic signals for their orientation and hunting. Human beings have learned quite a bit from bats. For example, the use of acoustic signals above the audible range of human beings that detect diseases and can be implemented for healthcare. Completely in tune with the motto for Expo 2005 "The Wisdom of Nature", ultrasound technology has learned from nature. For years now, ultrasound uses sound waves for the purpose of medical diagnostics. Siemens shows a fascinating simulation at the German Pavilion at the World Exhibition in Aichi/Japan. The keyword: Bionics, the teachings of using natural principles for technical applications.
While the sonic waves of bats move in a frequency range between 40 to 80 kilohertz (kHz), ultrasound systems used in medicine work with considerably higher frequencies in the megahertz range. The results are higher image resolution and consequently higher image quality enabling physicians to reach solid medical diagnoses. Modern ultrasound diagnostics are able to display inner organs in four dimensions - that is, in real time. As a non-invasive and patient-sparing examination method it is suitable for a wide range of clinical applications, especially in the area of prenatal care.
Between March 25 and September 25, Siemens Medical Solutions will be presenting Expo visitors a film discussing the principles of ultrasound technology. An ultrasound system (Sonoline Antares) will be at the site as well. At the push of a button, the system will be simulating the results of an ultrasound examination at a separate test configuration. Following the principle of orientation used by bats, the visitor will be able to observe the generation of an ultrasound image.
Background information: ultrasound diagnostics in medicine
Ultrasound waves are acoustic waves from a frequency range not audible to the human ear. Ultrasound diagnostics (also known as sonography) use the fact that high-frequency sound waves are partially reflected at tissue boundaries of various densities. The echoes separated in time are received during transmit pauses by the same crystals of the transducers and processed into brilliant images with special signal and high-performance processors. The frame rate is so high that even rapidly moving organs such as the heart can be displayed in real time. Echocardiography (ultrasound examination of the heart) uses frequencies from 1 to 15 megahertz (MHz). From the first use of ultrasound technology for medicine in 1926 up to viewing the heart with an ultrasound transducer in the year 2001, Siemens was involved in the research and development of this technology.
Ultrasound examinations spare the patient during various clinical scenarios. In addition to examining the fetus during pregnancy, the method is used for organ, soft tissue and vessel diagnostics. Another application is the acquisition of lymph nodes. Siemens is one of the largest international providers of ultrasound systems in medicine.
