Welcome to Othergate Journal, an online literary journal featuring fantasy, science-fiction, and other speculative fiction. Our inaugural issue features interviews with two very different authors, editorials, and several previously unpublished stories which range from science fiction to noir to dystopic to fantasy and beyond. Othergate is run by students at the University of Mary Washington as a part of the Literary Journals class in the English Department.
Warren Rochelle is an English professor at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia. In this interview, Warren Rochelle defines and defends the science fiction and fantasy genres. He also describes his writing process and the intense work required for world building, even though "they all die in the end," according to him. He also talks about his last novel, Harvest of Changelings, and hints at things to come in the sequel, The Called, due out in September.
Aaron Reed is the author of Blue Lacuna, a groundbreaking work of interactive fiction released in 2009. Blue Lacuna is comprised of almost 400,000 words of prose and code. In this interview, Reed discusses topics such as the creation process of interactive fiction, his work on Blue Lacuna, the conventions of interactive fiction, and the future of interactive fiction as a storytelling medium. Also featured are three playable excerpts of Blue Lacuna, which are available here.
"The New Emotive" by Adam Hinshaw tells the story of Derek Thompson, a man living in an age when the existence of romantic love between two people is identified by an advanced brain scan. The only problem is that most couples receive a "negative" reading, increasing divorce rates and altering people's perception of their emotions. Derek struggles with the changes presented by this new science, including his own divorce, new sexual freedoms, and a world of increasing coldness.
The short story "Sphinx" by Rachel Blier is about a woman named Ellie who has a very important job interview at a company called ThebesWare. She is delayed by a mythical sphinx, who blocks her path from the elevator and demands that she answer a riddle for it. The riddle is a seemingly simple question, but brings to light the deeper riddle of her own uncertainty.

Press conference by Ambassador Peter Wittig, Chair of the Security Council, presenting the program of work for the month of July
(near verbatim transcript)
New York, July 5, 2011
Thank you for your interest. I see you have the programme of the Council for the month of July in front of you.
Let me try and lead you through it. And let me highlight especially those issues that are of a higher political significance. All the issues are important but some might stick out as far as attention is concerned.
I guess number one will be Sudan, already in the coming days. You know we are heading for the independence of South Sudan on the 9th of July in Juba. Then the mechanics are that the government of South Sudan transmits to the Secretary-General a request for membership and the Council will take that up. We will most probably adopt a resolution on the 13th of July to recommend membership of this new state to the General Assembly which then - as it is envisaged - acts back to back on the following day on the 14th. This action on the 13th by the Council will be followed by a debate on the larger issues involved, on the perspectives and challenges and opportunities of the new situation in Sudan and the region and beyond. That debate will be chaired by the German Foreign Minister and other Foreign Ministers and ministers will be present.
As we speak, Council members are discussing, on an expert level, a resolution that is supposed to mandate a new mission in Southern Sudan, and here the timeline is once again the 9th. There will be intensive consultations on this resolution - on the form and shape and purpose of that new mission - in the coming days and we most probably will see a decision before - 1 or 2 days before - the 9th.
Other issues are outstanding. As you know a couple of CPA issues. The situation in South Kordofan and the Blue Nile will also be very much monitored by the Security Council and we will not forget the situation in Darfur. We have scheduled a briefing by the Head of UNAMID, Mr Gambari, and he is poised to brief us on 22nd of July on the latest situation in Sudan and the various processes, namely the Doha process and the Darfur based process.
Next issue I want to highlight is Afghanistan. This will keep us busy as early as tomorrow. You know the context: it's the transition, the incremental and condition-based transfer of security tasks and responsibilities from the ISAF forces to the Afghan security forces. That is the context of our debate tomorrow. The transition will start in July. We will have also some thoughts looking to the future - medium-term future - on the future design and assignment of UNAMA. And of course this will also be set into the context of not only the transition but also reconciliation: the Afghan led political process that is going on in Afghanistan. Stephan de Mistura will brief us tomorrow and we will have a debate following that briefing.
Libya, once again - how can it be otherwise - will be high on the agenda of the Council this month with two occasions to debate it. In consultations on the 11th, the Envoy of the Secretary-General, Mr. al Khatib, will be here and brief us on his efforts regarding a meaningful and sustainable cease-fire and regarding the political process. That will be on the 11th in the morning. And then we have a regular briefing scheduled and mandated by Security Council resolution 1973 by the Secretariat, the monthly briefings and I take it that it will be - once again - Mr. Pascoe who will take this upon him.
Syria. I think discussions on the draft resolution that is on the table - presented by the European Council members including Germany - will continue. We don't know the result yet but there will be continuing discussions on that initiative.
Let me highlight one further issue, which goes back to a German initiative. That is the LRA problem - the Lord's Resistance Army - and their activities in various countries of the region, pernicious activity including not only lot of loses of life but recruitment of child soldiers - and in general inflicting great harm on the civilian population. We want to hear a briefing - once again - by the Secretariat on their joint mission they had to the region. We hope that this can - once again - arouse some interest in this scourge that the LRA is presenting to countries of the region, not least to this new - soon to be new - member state of the UN, South Sudan.
Before I give the floor to you for questions, let me highlight two thematic issues we deem important and which constitute a German initiative, so to speak.
One is on Children and Armed Conflict. I had the honour and it's also really a commitment to chair a working group, the Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict of the Security Council. It is a little bit a "one of a kind working group", because it is the only working group that addresses a humanitarian issue. We will strive to adopt a resolution on the 12th of this month to further enhance the protection agenda to protect children better from recruitment and killing and maiming, and then in this instance in particular from attacks on their schools. This adoption and the ensuing debate, which is an open debate, will also be chaired by my Foreign Minister. There is a huge interest by not only member states but by a very active civil society with whom we have worked very very closely in the process to prepare that resolution. A very good partnership.
Last point, an issue that is very close to our heart: climate security. We undertook the initiative to put this on the agenda on the 20th within the framework of an open debate. We want to focus on security issues of climate change. We do not want to replicate all of the various fora in which climate change is being discussed, i.e. UNFCCC and other fora. No, we want to specifically highlight the security-related challenges of climate change, namely two. That is the threat to - the existential threat - to especially small island states and low lying states by the sea level rise. Of course that affects a lot of member states of the UN. And secondly, the effects that climate change has on food security and risks it entails for the maintenance of peace and security.
There is a huge interest within the rank and file of the member states for that issue and as you can imagine especially by the small island states, who addressed a letter a couple of months ago to the Security Council with the plea to take this up on the agenda of the Council. This is what we are doing this month.
Let me stop here and give room to questions, if there are any.
Q: Mr Ambassador, on behalf of the United Nations Correspondents Association, welcome to this press conference. [inaudible] I have a question to Afghanistan: the de-listing process, is it speeding-up? How many names can be dropped soon and when?
A: Well you have taken note that there was a regime reform lately. The previous Al-Qaeda Taliban Sanction regime was split into two. The philosophy of that was - and by the way I was chairing this one committee and now I am chairing the two committees, one Al-Qaeda and one Taliban - the philosophy of this split was to highlight the fact that those two groups were operating with two different agendas and would have to be treated separately. We expected some more flexibility for the Taliban regime in the de-listing process. This is your question: more Afghan ownership and also a message that in case Taliban would be de-listed that could contribute to the Afghan-led political process. Of course there are strings attached, in that de-listing member states of the Council have to agree and they have to fulfil the three conditions: the renunciation of violence, acceptance of the framework of the Afghan constitution and severing ties with international terrorist groups.
Now the de-listing process is moving forward. We have various de-listing requests by the Afghan government and by others. We are currently in the process of reviewing the information and my expectation is that we will some de-listing decisions - notwithstanding of course that this is the prerogative of the member states and the members of this committee - but I think it is fair to say that we expect some de-listings in the coming weeks.
Q: This item "briefing by the IAEA" on the 14th. Is that with regards to Syria?
A: Yes. You might know that the IAEA reported on the situation in Syria and referred this to the Security Council and now the Security Council is taking it up and consultations are envisaged for the 14th of this month.
Q: Regarding Libya, there are now reports that there are some sort of agreements between rebels and Ghaddfi-forces [inaudible]. Do you have any information of any agreement reached here and also about this position that Russia has taken on this [inaudible] arms by France?
A: Well let me say this. We'll hear a briefing by Mr. Al-Khatib next Monday on the 11th. I think this is the occasion to get an update from him on the contacts that exist. So I would not preclude the briefing of Mr. al Khatib at this point and time.
Q: A follow-up on Libya. There was a discussion this morning after the programme of work about the delivery of arms by France. And I wanted to know: is it your understanding that the request of the sanctions committee to meet on this date or is this just floating out there. And on Sudan. I see that you have UNISFA on July 27th. Is there someone talking to the South Kordofans. Is it the idea of the Council currently that the Ethiopian troops authorized to be in Abyei would somehow be spread over a larger area and what is the status of human rights monitoring by UNISFA. Has there been further thinking of how they will actually monitor the situation of human rights situation in Abyei?
A: This morning we had a short discussion on the issue of the arms embargo or the arms delivery in Libya. There was no agreement on this issue.
And on UNISFA and South Kordofan I would say it is still very much a moving target. We have a mandate for UNISFA in place and the situation in South Kordofan is still volatile. There are thoughts whether a UN presence is further needed in other areas beyond a Abyei. But I would not venture to say where it is going. You might also know that there is an interim agreement - or framework agreement whatever it is called - on a border mission but that also has to be set into a broader framework and discussion on those issues are continuing in the Council.
Q: [Question about Security Council reform]
A: Can I make a suggestion to you? Since I am briefing on this upcoming presidency in the Council - that we speak to each other after this briefing. Because this is not a matter of the Council. This is a matter of the General Assembly and you refer to an initiative of the G4. So I'd rather discuss this separately with you.
Q: [inaudible]
A: Well thank you. Both issues are under consideration as we speak. On climate change, as I said there is a huge urge of member states to be forthcoming. There are many, especially, smaller islands or low lying countries, that urge the Council to have a follow-up. And we are discussing what kind of follow-up we will have. I don't exclude anything here.
On Children and Armed Conflict you are right, the resolution revolves around not only protection agenda that already exists but we want an enlargement of the trigger mechanism for the name and shame list. And we also want the possibility, the avenue so to speak, that persistent perpetrators could be sanctioned within - and if possible beyond - the existing sanctions regimes of the UN. That is still under discussion and expert consultations are ongoing and I would not want preclude them at this point and time.
Q: Still any effort by the Security Council or the P5 to try and get the Khartoum government to agree to some kind of a UN presence or a UN monitoring on the northern side of the border after 9th of July? On Afghanistan, is there going to be any paper outcome?
A: To start with the second issue. Yes, it's a regular debate. Just the context is new, with the start of the transition, but it is one of those three-monthly debates that we are having in the Council. As I said, in a slightly new context that sheds a new light on our challenges.
Now on Sudan I refer to that agreement, this provisional agreement negotiated under the guidance of the high-level panel of the AU, under President Mbeki and also ssisted by the SRSG Menkerios, by the two sides on future border monitoring mission. Now it's not yet clear and not yet finally decided what will be the set up and the framing of that mission. I think that is one of the homeworks we've got to do in the coming days and weeks.
Q: [inaudible]
A: I don't have any information on that point and I don't think that it will be raised in the Council during this month.
Q: Will Germany raise that?
A: As I said I have no information at that point and I don't want to comment on this. Since I haven't any information it would not be wise for me to comment. As I said its not likely that this issue - which is absolutely new to me – will be part of the Council agenda this month.
Q: Do you expect anything from the Palestinian side? They said they are going to push for their application of membership to the United Nations. Is it true that they have a July 5 deadline. And what are you going to do with the Syrian draft resolution?
A: Well on the Palestinian issue you mentioned the open debate that will take place on the 26th, so far scheduled. That will - I think - be an occasion to explore the various options that might exist on the Palestinian side. We have not been approached as presidency by the Palestinian side, so it would be absolutely beyond my mandate to speculate what will be happening in the month. I just might indicate to you that according to information there is a meeting of the quartet envisaged for the middle of this month in Washington and that might also to be watched when one is speculating about or what the Palestinian side will be doing in the course of this month or beyond.
Syria, yes I just mentioned that there is this resolution - this draft resolution – on the table. I told you that the European countries took this initiative and they have support by other members of the Council. We want to broaden our support. The situation in Syria is a great concern to us and to others. Consultations will be ongoing. And I am not speaking here as presidency but national capacity: we hope that we enlist the support of countries to support that resolution in the course of the next days and weeks.
Q: Some other countries mentioned that if you accepted to downgrade this draft resolution to a PRST, they might accept to go along with you. Would you do that during this month?
A: Once again in my national capacity, the idea is to have resolution.
Q: [inaudible]
A: We take up a referral, a report of the IAEA emanating in the month of June. We are going to do this in the month of July and there will most probably be a briefer that we have from the IAEA - and that's it for the moment. I would not want to go beyond that. That is scheduled and we don't know what the outcome will be at this point in time and it's too early to tell.
Q: The recently agreed new mission in Abyei was very unique because it has such offensive arms, as artillery and tanks. Do you think the new mission in South Sudan should be as robust as the mission in Abyei?
A: As I said this moving target will be busy in the days until the end of the week, where we have a certain cut-off date, that is the 9th. We will be very busy to discuss the details of that resolution and of the force that is being mandated. I can tell you there are three components: military - this will be the bulk -, civilian personal for the various peace building functions – not withstanding the various organisations of the UN family who will be present – and the third component will be a police force. Those are the three components of the mission, the three essential components. Now as to the balance of those elements that is still subject to consultations and negotiations in the course of that week.
Q: What is the outcome to be expected from the LRA meeting? What is the exact purpose of it? What should we expect from this meeting?
A: Yes, the purpose is to put this issue once again on the agenda. We think it is an important issue. There might be an outcome. It is, I think, in the realm of the possible to have a PRST if member states agree to a presidential statement. And then we take it from there. Of course we also want to highlight the importance of the regional efforts, being undertaken by the AU and the member states that are affected. So this is an important date and hopefully it can trigger more interest and more action to follow.
Thank you for your interest.

With the announcement of the Camaro Z/28 it brought up a question I have been pondering for some time.
Why did Cadillac / GM decide to develop a custom hand built Supercharged N* instead of using the the small block 427 LS-7 they were developing for the Z06?
They were being developed at the same time.
They were both ready for production for the 2006 model year.
They were both hand built at Wixom.
The LS-7 is physically smaller than the LC3 so it should fit in the engine bay of both Vs.
Sharing the engine between vehicles should have reduced development and manufacturing costs and reduced the price of the Vs. Making them more powerful and less expensive options to people cross shopping with the AMGs and Ms
Do you think the XLR-V and STS-V would have sold better if they had the LS-7 under the hood?

I have 2 balls of sock yarn that I just don't want to use for socks. I thought I could make a hat for each of my sons instead, using the sock yarn. Anyone know of a basic hat pattern using fingering weight yarn?
You could find a pattern and then just adjust for gauge. You know, multiply the number of inches around in the pattern and then cast on however many stitches it would take in the fingering yarn to get that many inches.
Thanks! I'm winging it. My first time trying a hat from the top down. Wish me luck!!
This is my fave 'made to fit' hat pattern! I use it for all hats
Oops...I didn't see that you were doing a top down hat, my selection won't work (I don't think!)...but it's a good tool to have on hand for making hats to fit anyone
Rebecca, I actually saw that link you gave in another post and took a look at it. It looked to complicated to me at that moment so I figured it was easier to just wing it. haha :lol:
The hat is going well. I think it will have a bit of a flat top but that's okay. It will be an original!

Conservative think tank the Institute of Public Affairs has warned the Abbott government it risks breaking an election promise if it abandons plans to repeal and rewrite race hate laws.
But ethnic groups and community leaders have welcomed signals from Attorney-General George Brandis that proposed changes to the Racial Discrimination Act - including section 18C, which makes it unlawful to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate someone based on their race or ethnicity - will be watered down after public consultation.
Before the election, the Coalition promised to reform section 18C of the act to strengthen free speech protections. In March, it revealed a plan to remove ''offend, insult, humiliate'' from the act and make it unlawful to intimidate or racially vilify someone.
But a broad exemption for ''words, sounds, images or writing spoken, broadcast, published or otherwise communicated in the course of participating in the public discussion of any political, social, cultural, religious, artistic, academic or scientific matter'' provoked a storm of protest from the backbench and community leaders.
Senator Brandis, who personally drafted the draft laws, was rolled in the cabinet and forced to open up the proposed changes to community consultation, with 5557 submissions received in just over a month.
IPA executive director John Roskam said on Wednesday the government, led by Senator Brandis, had ''not made the case for freedom of speech in Australia''.
"The IPA view is that this was an election promise and that the government should keep its commitments,'' he said. ''The draft bill should be presented to the Senate as is. While not perfect, it is a significant improvement on current legislation. If they water it down, they would be better not to proceed at all.''
Executive Council of Australian Jewry executive director Peter Wertheim said rather than watering down the changes, the exposure draft should be ''abandoned entirely''.
''We don't think the case has been made to amend the existing legislation, that's not just our view, it's the view of the Law Council, the Human Rights Commission and many others,'' he said.
He said members of the indigenous, Greek, Jewish, Chinese, Arab and Korean communities lobbied 80 MPs from all parties in Canberra on Monday and Tuesday and ''the opposition that was expressed to the government's proposals was even stronger than we had heard previously. Most of the Coalition MPs we met with expressed disapproval of the … draft''.
Under pressure from Labor Senator Lisa Singh during a Senate estimates hearing, Senator Brandis claimed a report that he would water down exposure draft legislation was inaccurate. But he did not detail a single inaccuracy. He conceded his draft may not have got the balance right. ''It may well be that there are better ways of expressing the basic concepts,'' he said.
He also confirmed the government was looking to redraft the proposed laws.
Senator Brandis said the government would reform - not abolish - section 18C.

The Wednesday Recruiting Column is back. This week we analyze No. 1 Junior Matt Rambo's commitment to Maryland, look at the top free agents in the junior class, check in with Duxbury's lax-centric football team and chat about player surveys in the recruiting process.
While I was on vacation last week, high atop mountains communing with nature, intrepid IL reporter Ty Xanders nailed the big news that Inside Lacrosse's No. 1 junior recruit, attackman/midfielder Matt Rambo (La Salle College, Pa.), has verbally committed to Maryland. With Rambo in the fold, here's another look at the Terps' Class of 2013:
No. 1 Matt Rambo, A/M, La Salle (Pa.)
No. 9 Connor Cannizzaro, A, Cazenovia (N.Y.)
No. 19 Mac Pons, D, Boys' L atin (Md.)
John Belz, M, Calvert Hall (Md.)
Jake Clise, A, Loyola-Blakefield (Md.)
Dan Morris, G, Dallas Jesuit (Tex.)
Alec Dunn, D, Westminster School (Conn.)
Isaiah Davis-Allen, M, St. Stephen's & St. Agnes (Va.)
Rambo and Cannizzaro should be a fantastic 1-2 punch on offense for the Terps once they arrive. Just looking at the recruit timing mechanisms, the goal here would be for these young shooters to supplement a peaking Class of 2011, ranked No. 1 by Inside Lacrosse in our most recent Recruiting Issue and featuring strong offensive players like Kevin Forster and David Solomon. That formula —talented freshmen helping juniors ready to explode— has won championships for other programs in the past. This should be a fine baseline for continued success for Maryland.
Two other notes about this class. 1) The Terps have a nice core of defensive talent in this class and 2) the Terps are going after some tough hotbed talent, hopefully firmly establishing their roots as the Free State's flagship program.
Rambo's commitment is another feather in the cap for Maryland head coach John Tillman, who continues to build his resume as a top recruiter. He had his hand in two major classes that hit campus in 2011 —No. 1 Maryland, No. 3 Harvard— and is keeping pace among his top 10 peers in attracting quality recruits.
Eyeballing the numbers, the current Class of 2013 verbal comment count sits at 83 recruits.
Among the Top 50 Young Gun Juniors, 35 have made verbal commitments. Among those, here are the "Top 5 Free Agents" still on the table:
No. 3 Sean Coleman, M, La Salle College (Pa.)
No. 8 Matt Ryan, LSM, Phillips Exeter (N.H.)
No. 11 Tim Rotanz, A, Shoreham-Wading River (N.Y.)
No. 12 Zed Williams, M, Silver Creek (N.Y.)
No. 15 Austin Pifani, D, Abington (Pa.)
Hearing rumblings on many of these players. Check with the Recruiting Roundup for more news and notes as they come in.
Our New Column (If you have a name suggestions shoot one over) will feature more generic recruiting questions for those involved in the process. Soon, we're going to debut a more specific "Where's XX Recruit looking at? What schools are on this recruit? etc." type Mailbag. But, if you have a recruiting process specific question please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
I recently received an email/questionnaire from two Division I coaches, both about my son. Are these mass mailings/emails? Both were addressed to my son and said basically the same thing; that they couldn't make contact but we could call them. What should we do? -New York
Talking with recruiters, player surveys (and to a lesser extent, team camp invitations) are one of the few ways teams can start the recruiting process prior to the Sept. 1 rising junior date. They are a doorway to open communication between program and player. Filling out a survey, and making calls (coaches can not initiate communication with players before their rising senior season, but they can respond to younger recruits who contact them directly) are good first steps to opening the recruiting process. As always, talk to experienced hands, such as a high school coach, club coach or other families who have gone through the process, for more information.

Our friends with Adrenaline Lacrosse are prepping for their fall recruiting lineup. Adrenaline High Rollers kicks off Nov. 19-20, with over 300 of the West's top players descending on San Diego for two days of play and festivities. Here's this year's lineup of players attending the event.
Adrenaline also announced this week details on their January recruiting event, the Adrenaline Challenge. The two day event hits Del Mar Jan. 7-8, just outside San Diego. This year's event include a post high school men's division.
Here's another event to keep an eye out for, Jake Reed's Nike Blue Chip Camp fall edition. It's set for Nov. 19-20 in North Carolina, and will feature rising sophomores and some rising juniors. We'll preview this event a bit more indepth soon, but follow the Nike Blue Chip site for updates.
In my last column I wrote that I wanted to hear from lacrosse recruits playing fall sports. Thanks to a loyal reader my attention was pointed to the Duxbury football team. This year's squad is currently ranked No. 2 by ESPN Boston after starting the season 3-0 in Division 2, most recently beating New Bedford 42-19 (here's a nice photo gallery of that victory). The core of the team is made of of highly recruited lacrosse players who last year won the Massachusetts Division 1 lacrosse title in the spring.
Quarterback Matt O'Keefe, who threw for 220 yards and three touchdowns in the New Bedford game, is a Johns Hopkins recruit. Other lacrosse recruits include tight end Seamus Connolly (Duke), free safety James Burke (Penn State), strong safety Reilly Naton (Yale), linebacker Jay McDermott (Syracuse), linebacker Max Randall (Dartmouth), running back Henry Buonagurio (Drexel) and wide receiver Andrew Buron (Stony Brook). The team also features several other uncommitted seniors, junior and sophomore lacrosse players.

Speaking of some Maryland recruits, here's a look back at last summer's Warrior 40 event, held at Harvard Stadium. Mac Pons, mentioned above among Maryland's 2013 recruits, earned Defensive Player of the Game honors in the contest.

What Does Your Brother In Law Think of the Downing Street Minutes?
If you speak face-to-face or by phone or Email with your family members, neighbors, and friends, we would love to hear what they think of the Downing Street Minutes, especially if you convince someone that a congressional investigation is needed. How did you persuade them? What did they start out thinking? What did they learn from you? What did you learn from them? Please open this article and post Comments at the bottom.

The news, quite frankly, was no surprise to myself in that the bush administration had been tracking the terrorists for years, yet...and the fact that our air force was not airborne immediately as protocol dictates, only flights with saudis. These are questions that need to be addressed...our press is truly not free from the influence of big business and government. So no, the downing street memo is not a surprise, only disconcerting in the fact that clinton was almost impeached on laughable charges when compared with the mortgaging of america's future by the war mongers currently at the helm.
Funny you should ask.
I returned a phone call of my pal up in Oregon (my being in LosAngeles): My politically-minded ex-Brother-in-Law in Oregon was at first at a loss as to what the DowningStreetMemo was/is. When I briefly described it to him, he said, "Oh yes...something about that , let's see, a little article a few pages in, in the Portland Oregonian. Now what was that about, again?"
I told him the gist w/some details. His rx: "Migod, that's TREASON!"
We discussed treason and Bush the rest of the conversation. He was very excited to hear the news. He's followed most all else about BushJr. prior... Now it's no longer "prior"; it's "after" DowningStreet, righto!
He'll check out things at his office Internet..and spread the goodword.
My brother in law is a Republican! He does not agree at all with me. What worries me is the rest of Americans!
Concerned Americans are speaking out, but half of Americans still are not paying attention to our Government! So many of us have asked,

Or not. Yesterday Professor Mankiw posted this on his blog:
Tax Fact of The Day
"The U.S. effective corporate tax rate on new investment was 34.6 percent in 2010, which was the highest rate in the OECD and the fifth-highest rate among 83 countries. The average OECD rate was 18.6 percent, and the average rate for 83 countries was 17.7 percent."
Okay. He chose not to add any commentary, but he's obviously implying that he believes the rate is too high based solely upon the fact that other countries have lower rates. I suppose that's a reasonable starting point for a discussion. But his data is extremely misleading. Because the correct way to measure the tax burden on U.S. corporations is to look at what they actually pay, after accounting for all additional provisions in the tax law (i.e., loopholes). The effective tax rate.
So let's take a look at that. From the New York Times:
So now the tax rate only seems to be unreasonable for a few select industries. What about corporate taxes paid as a percentage of GDP (i.e., the corporate tax burden relative to the size of the economy)? This is probably the best way to compare our effective tax policy with the policies of other OECD countries. Luckily, Ezra Klein had a great post answering this exact question late last year:
Consider this graph, which shows corporate tax rates against the OECD average. As you can see, we're on the high side:
That's the evidence for the conservative view. Our rate is about one standard deviation higher than the OECD average. But here's the thing:
This confirms Mankiw's data that the U.S. has higher tax rates. Ezra continues:
If you actually look at the amount of money our corporate tax raises, we're about one standard deviation beneath the OECD average:
The reason is simple enough: Our corporate tax code is complicated. A lot of businesses, like S-corporations and partnerships, don't pay corporate taxes. Others use loopholes and exemptions and deductions to push their actual rate way down. We could have a simpler code with lower rates that would raise more money.
So U.S. corporations actually pay 1 standard deviation below the OECD average, while U.S. tax rates are 1 standard deviation above the average. There seem to be two take aways from this. First, it's obvious that we probably need either better tax laws, better tax collectors, or both. And second, maybe we should consider raising the rates (or lowering rates and eliminating loopholes, resulting in a higher effective rate).
Regardless, the conclusion is the opposite from what Professor Mankiw's "Tax Fact of the Day" would have you imply. If anything, U.S. corporations don't pay nearly as much as other OECD countries, and the advantage seems to be unfairly skewed by industry. As Ezra says: "We could have a simpler code with lower rates that would raise more money." And then everyone wins.

oakley baseball sunglasses A study published Wednesday in the scientific journal PLOS ONE found that neutered male cats gained weight not because they became lazy and expended less energy, but because they ate more food after the surgery. Scientists at the University of California Davis set out to determine why cats tend to put on weight after neutering. They carefully controlled the diets of a small group of adult male domestic shorthair cats for a couple of weeks before the cats were neutered. The procedure, which the study authors refer to as a gonadectomy, involves surgical removal of the animals' testicles under general anesthesia. Body composition and weight were monitored both before and after the procedure. From about two weeks post-surgery until 6 months after the procedure, scientists monitored the cats' activities to track how much energy they expended. The cats did what most house cats do - roamed around their climate-controlled abode, eating as much food as they desired. After 6 months, the cats' body weight increased by about 20 percent, though their activity levels remained similar to what they were prior to neutering. According to the authors, an estimated 35 percent of pet cats are overweight, and, they say, "Neutering is recognized as one of the major factors contributing to obesity in male cats, although the mechanisms that promote weight gain following this procedure are not well understood." The scientists concluded that male cats gain weight after neutering due to increased food intake, which they say could be partially due to elevated blood levels of ghrelin, a hormone believed to stimulate hunger and make high-calorie foods look more appealing. The authors note that the study only examined weight gain during the first six months after surgery, and that cats' food intake needs to be moderated long term to prevent excessive weight gain. The ASPCA recommends neutering of male cats before they reach 6 months of age to prevent the start of spraying, roaming and other undesirable behavior common to intact male cats. Cats should also be sterilized, the organization says, to avoid contributing to pet overpopulation, because "even a cat who lives indoors may escape and produce kittens if not sterilized. Each year, millions of homeless cats are euthanized or end up in shelters due to a lack of good homes."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Ben McDonald, RSCVA

RENO, Nev. (January 22, 2014) � The Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority announced today that 2013 was the most successful year for Reno Tahoe tourism since 2008, showing the first significant performance improvement since 2007.
�After five years of little growth, Reno Tahoe hotels and resorts enjoyed considerable improvements in taxable revenues, average hotel rates and occupancy for calendar year 2013,� said Reno Tahoe USA President and CEO Christopher Baum. �This growth was driven largely by our hotel partners� individual efforts to bring nightly room rates closer to the national industry average, while still maintaining a desirable level of value for tourists and convention attendees.�
The 2013 average daily rate of $83.66 for all Washoe County hotels, a 9.6% increase from calendar year 2012, showed the largest increase since 2007, when nightly hotel rates increased 9.3%. Increased room rates contributed to more than $25 million of additional Taxable Room Revenues than in 2012, realizing year-over-year growth of 12.1%, the only double-digit percentage increase in Taxable Room Revenues in more than a decade. In addition, hotel occupancy was 66.6% for the 12 months ended December 31, 2013, versus 63.7% in calendar 2012; an increase of more than 60,000 taxable room nights over the previous year.
�Sporting and convention business, along with the addition of the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction to Hot August Nights, all helped drive nightly hotel rates in 2013, leading to more than $234 million in Taxable Room Revenues,� said Baum. �The United States Bowling Congress, which is bringing back both their Open and Women�s Championships this year, as well as Boys Junior Nationals Volleyball and the Elks convention, had significant impacts on the local economy in 2013, and we are hopeful that we can continue the region�s momentum into 2014.�
About the RSCVA:
The RSCVA is the primary agency supporting the promotion of meeting, convention and tourism business for the Reno/Sparks/North Lake Tahoe region.

text: SINGAPORE, Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- With South Korea introducing a regulatory pathway for manufacturing biologics in 2009, the Government has raised its stakes in the biosimilars market. It is providing both financial and institutional support to help the market emerge as a global leader by 2020. The market is expected to come into its own in 2013-2016, when new products and segments will be launched. New analysis from Frost & Sullivan ( http://www.lifesciences.frost.com), Opportunity Analysis for Biosimilars - South Korea , finds that the market earned revenues of $62.3 million in 2011 and estimates this to reach $89.8 million in 2017, with erythropoietin expected to be the biggest revenue generator. "The South Korean Government considers biosimilars drug development significantly cheaper than new drug development," said Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Poornima Srinivasan. "Moreover, biosimilars' time-to-market is half of new drugs', making them attractive investment options." However, biosimilars' requirements of huge upfront investments and infrastructure dissuade potential investors. More importantly, biosimilars need to prove that their clinical efficacy is as robust as biologic innovator drugs'. Currently, physicians and doctors are reluctant to prescribe biosimilars because they may not be as familiar with the biosimilar developer's capabilities and expertise, as they are with the credentials of innovator drug manufacturing companies. Further, by 2020, the market will be facing a familiar challenge of dwindling pipeline, as newer and more complex originator molecules need to be identified as target markets. With many domestic companies attempting to establish a foothold, the biosimilars market will also witness changing business models. High costs associated with biosimilar development will necessitate partnerships with full-service contract research organization (CRO) providers. Aggressive merger and acquisitions encourage more pharmaceuticals to work together to expand their therapeutic products line and bolster their market prospects.

What would you like to do?
Can you have more than 1 retirement account - for example both a Roth IRA and a 401K?
Can you have both a Simple Ira and Roth Ira?
Yes, the limitation does not apply between a SIMPLE IRA and a Roth/Traditional. However, because a SIMPLE IRA is a "qualified retirement plan" offered by your employer, yo…u may not be able to get a traditional IRA deduction- all depends on your income situation.
What types of retirement plans 401ks or IRAs might be best for retirement?
The right answer is, It Depends. I like a ROTH IRA. Here we pay tax on our contributons. Qualified distributions from a ROTH IRA are tax free. The ROTH IRA also allows us to t…ake our Annual Contributions out of the IRA at any time without tax or without penalty for any reason, even to make a trip to Vegas and put it all on red. A Traditional IRA is OK too. Here we do not pay tax on our annual contributions giving us a tax advantage now. All distributions from a Traditional IRA are subject to income tax, and if taken before age 59.5 years, there is a 10% penalty. There are a few items that qualify for avoiding the 10% penalty. Everyone can contribute to a Traditional. Not everyone can take the tax deduction. This is called an after tax Traditional IRA. The earnings are tax deferred. When you take a distribution from this IRA part of the distribution is subject to income tax and part of the distribution is tax free. These amounts are based on the ratio of your after tax contributions to the total amount of the IRA. Both IRAs will provide you with more investment choices when you use a discount broker as the IRA custodian. IRAs typically are afforded $1,000,000 of bankruptcy protection. This may vary from state to state. The 401k contribution is taken from our pay each pay day. Some employer's offer a matching contribution. The Traditional 401k is not taxed when we contribute. It is taxed when we take a qualified distribution. Investment choices are usually limited to a set of mutual funds and savings accounts. Some 401k plans offer a loan feature. I do not recommend you ever take a loan from your 401k account. Some employers offer a ROTH 401k. Your contributions are taxed as you make the contribution. When you take the qualified distribution from the plan your money comes out tax free. When the employer makes a matching contribution to this IRA, it is a tax deferred contribution. You will pay ordinary income taxes on distributions of the employer's contribution. When you start contributing to a 401k plan, READ the Summary Plan Description. You will be given a copy, read it. The big advantage of a 401k plan is for 2008 you can contribute up to $15,500. And if you are over age 50, you can contribute an additional $5,000. This "Catch-up" contribution can be made even if your 401k limits you to an amount lower than the $15,500. Which is better? It Depends.
Can you have Both A Sep Ira and a Roth Ira?
Yes. Your ability to have a personal or spousal Roth IRA is a separate questions from whether you can have a SEP IRA. Anyone with earned income can contribute up to $4,000 (or… $5,000 if your are 50 or over) in 2007 and $5,000 (or $6,000 in 2008) if they meet the income requirements. You must have earned income of under $99,000 for 2007 and $101,000 for 2008 for singles or $156,000 for 2007 and $159,000 for 2008 for married filing jointly. For a SEP IRA, you must have business income to contribute. You can contribute up to 25% of your business income with a limit of $45,000 in 2007 and $50,000 in 2008 (those 50 years or older may contribute $5,000 more). Thus, if you have business income, you can contribute to your ROTH IRA if you are eligible and a SEP IRA. If your SEP IRA is likely to become substantial or you have funds in a 401(k) from a previous employer and you are an one person (or one person with a spouse) business, you should look into individual 401(k)s. All of the major financial institution and self-directed trust companies offer them. They work like a corporate 401(k) but you have complete control. They may be better than a SEP since: 1. The contribution limits are higher 2. You can borrow in a 401k but not a SEP 3. You can have a Roth 401(k) but you cannot make Roth contributions to a SEP 4. You can buy life insurance or invest in a S corporationin a 401(k)
Can you put money in both a Roth IRA and a Traditional IRA?
Yes, you can contribute to both a Traditional and a Roth IRA account but contribution limits apply across both accounts. For example, if your contribution limit is $5,00…0 then you could contribute $2,500 in each account. You can not contribute $5,000 into each account.
Can you pay off a 401k loan with another IRA account?
First, Never borrow from your 401k plan. You can pay off your 401k loan with money form any legal source. The money does not need to be deducted from your pay check. That… is the most convient method. To use money from an IRA, it would be necessary to take an UNQUALIFIED DISTRIBUTON from your IRA. If this is a Traditional IRA, the mney would be subject to income tax. And if you are not yet at the age of 59.5 years, a 10% penalty would be assessed on the amount taken from the IRA. This 10% would need to be paid when you file your income tax return. If this is a ROTH IRA, there are some different rules. Distributions from a ROTH IRA come out in an ordered fashion. - First to come out is our annual contribution amounts.

A 10% penalty may apply if the conversion is less than 5 years old. Each Conversion has it's own 5 year clock. - Last to come out is earnings. If the ROTH IRA owner is younger than 59.5 years, the earnings will be taxed and the 10% penalty will apply.

South west of Jaipur, Ajmer is an oasis wrapped in the green hills. The city was founded by Raja Ajay Pal Chauhan in the 7th Century A.D. and continued to be a major centre of the Chauhan power till 1193 A.D. When Prithviraj Chauhan lost it to Mohammed Ghauri. Today, Ajmer is a popular pilgrimage centre for the Hindus (Pushkar) as well as Muslims(Ajmer Sharif - Hazart Khawaja Moinuddin Hasan Chisty).
PushkarPushkar is a town in the state of Rajasthan in India near Ajmer. Pushkar is famous for Pushkar Holy Lake and the temple to Brahma, the Hindu god of creation. It is also famous for its annual Pushkar Camel Fair.The presence of as many as 400 big and small temples and 52 ghats makes Pushkar a popular hindu pilgrimage.
Ajmer SharifDargah Shrief, a place where wishes and desires come true. Devotees from all over the world visit this Dargah to be blessed by Khawaja Baba and to fulfill their desires. More often than not their wishes do come true and the wish fulfillment is usually followed by devotees offering flowers, gilaf (velvet cloth), ittar (non-alcoholic perfume) and sandal wood powder. Besides these offerings they also recite Quran, Nafal Namaz, Milad and Aayat-e-Karima and Khatam Khawajgan.
Lying in the north of the desert state, the city is dotted with scores of sand dunes. Bikaner retains the medieval grandeur that permeates the city's lifestyle. More readily called the camel country, the city is distinguished for the best riding camels in the world and hence boasts of having one of the largest Camel research and breeading farm in the world.
Bundi is the undiscovered splendour, 36 Kms from Kota ruled by the Hada Chauhans. First destination is HADOTI. Set in a narrow inclining gorge. The palaces and forts have fairy tale quality about them. Isolated and independent, this picturesque location has much to offer. Rajput architecture shines and in the intricately carved brackets, pillars etc. Interesting places are Diwan-e- aam, Hati Pol and Naubat Khana.
Chittorgarh is the epitome of Rajput pride, romance and spirit. It reverberates with history of heroism and sacrifice, which is evident as it echoes with the tales sung by the Bards of Rajasthan. The main tourist attraction of the town of Chittorgarh is its fort, which is located on a steep hill beside the modern township.

Ghana Bird Century
This magnificent bird haven in actual came into being paradoxically as a duck shooting preserve for Maharaja Suraj Mull of Bharatpur. He transformed the shallow depression formed by the confluence of River Gambhir and River Banganga into a reservoir by damming the rainwater in monsoons. Flooding of water created shallow wetland ecosystem causing it to be a perfect habitat for an astounding variety of birds.
It a bustling capital city and a business centre with all the trapping of modern metropolis but yet flavoured strongly with an age-old charm that never fails to surprise a traveller. The old Jaipur painted in Pink can grip any visitor with admiration. Stunning backdrop of ancient forts Nahargarh, Amer, Jagarh and Moti Dungri are dramatic testimonials of the bygone era and a reminder of their lingering romance.
Its like straight out of an Arabian Nights fable. The name Jaisalmer induces a dramatic picture of utter magic and brilliance of the desert. The hostile terrain not with standing the warmth and colour of people is simply over whelming. One of the main draws is the daunting 12th century Jaisalmer Fort. The beautiful havelis which were built by wealthy merchants of Jaisalmer are yet another interesting aspect of the desert city.
This bustling desert city is the second largest city in Rajasthan after Jaipur and has landscape dominated by the massive Meherangarh Fort topping a sheer rocky ridge.
The old city is fenced by 10 km long wall with eight Gates leading out of it. The new city is outside the walled city. Rao Jodha, a chief of the Rathore clan, founded the city in 1459 and it is named after him.
Located 64 kms north of Udaipur in the wilderness, Kumbhalgarh is the second most important citadel after Chittorgarh in the Mewar region. Cradled in the Aravali Ranges the fort was built in the 15th century by Rana Kumbha. Because of its inaccessibility and hostile topography the fort had remained un-conquered.
Mount Abu
The Raj period approached it as a relaxation place to rewind along with the royalties and semi royalties. The place sways in an interesting contrast of British style bungalows, the holiday lodges of the royals (Thikhana) along with the presence of the various communities of the tribals located amidst the thick lush of the forest on the hills surrounding the region.
Ranthambhor National Park, before a princely game conserve is the scene where the celebrated Indian Tiger is best seen. Ranthambhor Tiger Reserve lies on the junction of Aravali and Vindhyas just 14 Kms from Sawai Madhopur in Eastern Rajasthan. It sprawls over a varying and undulating landscape. The scenery changes dramatically from gentle and steep slopes of the Vindhyas and sharp and conical hills of the Aravali.
Beautiful sculptured Jain temples mark the glory of this renowned place. Marked as one of the five holy places for the Jain community, these were created in the 15 the century. The central Chaumukha [four faced temple] is dedicated to Adinathji the temple is an astounding creation with 29 halls and 1,444 pillars all distinctly carved and no two being alike is a amazing evidence of the genius sense of architecture that enhances the charm of the place.
Udaipur is known as the Venice of the east. It is also called the city of lakes. The Lake Palace on Jag Niwas Island in the middle of Pichola Lakes is the finest example of its architectural and cultural explosion. Udaipur is also the centre for performing arts, craft and its famed miniature paintings.The Shilp Gram festival is a center of attraction during the season.
Nathdwara lies 48 kms from Udaipur and literally means the gateway to the Lord. This great Vaishnavite shrine was built in the 17th century on spot exactly defined by the Lord himself. The legends have it that the image of the Lord Krishna was being transferred to safer place from Vrindaban to protect it from the destructive wrath of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.

Waterproof-breathable Tricks and Tips:
All waterproof breathable fabrics should be seam sealed to ensure that garment is waterproof. We offer liquid seam sealers and Melco(r) iron-on seam tape just for this purpose!
Pattern Tricks and Tips:
When using a pattern, you can save your pattern by making a master copy using Do-Sew pattern tracing polyester. This comes in a 5 yard roll for $5.49
Binding Tricks and Tips:
Use Lycra or Stretch Fleece for your cuffs and waistbands!
Most fleece garments use Lycra for the cuffs and waistbands. It is usually applied in thinner strips than conventional ribbing, giving a neat appearance. Stretch fleece is not the most traditional cuff or waistband material but it gives a very snug and comfortable fit. Apply in the same manner as you would with regular Rib Knit.
Zipper Tricks and Tips:
How To Shorten A Zipper
Zippers are easy to shorten. If you cannot find a zipper that is the right length but can find the right zipper that is longer than you need, it is simple to make it work! Measure from the bottom, up to the length that you need and mark with chalk. If you have a separating zipper do not alter the bottom end or it will no longer separate.
To Shorten a Vislon Molded Tooth Zipper: Grip the teeth above the mark with a pair of pliers and give it a yank! The teeth come off fairly easily. Repeat until you have removed a little more than an inch of teeth on both sides. Take your top stop and squeeze it in place above the last tooth on each side. Top stops cost 5 cents each.
To Shorten A Coil Self-Mending Zipper: Since a continuous coil zipper is like a coiled spring, it has to be treated differently than a Vislon zipper. The teeth cannot just be pulled out, they have to be cut. Clip only the front part of the coil in half, being careful not to cut into the zipper tape. You will be left with "U" shaped pieces that will still be woven into the tape and are easily removed. Remove a little more than an inch of teeth on both sides. Take your top stop and squeeze it into place above the last tooth on each side making sure that the last piece of coil is crimped under the top stop. Top stops costs 5 cents each.
Putting on Sliders: First, open up an inch or two of zipper tape on one end. Second, feed the individual sides through the funnel end (the wider end) of the slider at the same time. When putting on vislon or other locking sliders (including coil locking and water resistant sliders) remember that the pull tab must be in the upright position. When the pull tab is down, it locks the slider into place, disallowing movement on the tape. See info on water resistant zipper sliders bellow.
Water Resistant Zipper Tape: When putting on a slider onto your water resistant zipper tape, remember that the zipper tape is inside out in comparison to normal zipper tapes. The shiny side is your outside, while the teeth side are sewn into the inside of your garment. Water resistant zipper tape require a special slider because of the tape being reversed.

Why China's Mad at the U.S.
Thomas Barnett waxes incredulous:
This is the state of our discussion: the world's biggest and by-far strongest military regularly getting up into the grill of the second-biggest economy on the planet and letting it know--in no uncertain terms--that it will not countenance China exercising military power in its own region! Why? Despite being intensely overdrawn militarily around the planet and facing military resource shortages in the very same regions where Chinese economic interests are skyrocketing, it's in our best interest to deny China's rise with all our might. Safely buttressed by the vast security resources of our NATO allies, it's clear that we don't need any new friends and--instead--must do everything possible to deny their emergence, because more Chinese security means less U.S. security; it is a completely zero-sum game.
Brilliant stuff. I can't imagine why the Chinese look upon us as anything but the best of friends. I am flabbergasted at our naivete in hoping for something better to emerge.
The U.S. position toward China does seem to swerve between patronizing platitudes (they'll be a "stakeholder") and wary hedging.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Less than a month remains in the abbreviated season, but the situation remains heated. Plenty of divisions remain up for grabs. The playoff chases for #9 and below, especially in the East, remain open. The Southeast Division is starting to look like you either win the division or stay home in May. And of course the seeding of the 16 teams is almost completely on shaky ground. With everyone on edge in the home stretch, let's look at what would happen if the playoffs started as of Saturday, April 6 at 8:15pm:
Three straight wins have the Blues with a three-point cushion on the final spot. Still, the Blackhawks have both scored the most goals and given up the least in the West. This remains Chicago's conference to lose.
The Ducks are just 4-5-1 in their last 10; one of those was an OT loss in Columbus and four were home regulation losses (including three straight home losses). Two of those home losses were in consecutive games to Detroit, but even so, Anaheim remains 14-5-0 at home on the season. Detroit knows they can take the series, and very well might, but Anaheim hasn't gotten to this point and remained there for no reason.
Minnesota remains just two points behind Vancouver, but has lost three in a row. Against Vancouver's veteran strike force, Minnesota will have a difficult time if they can't get their feet under them.
The Kings continue their march up the standings to #4 (good luck passing Anaheim for #2), but San Jose has quietly won seven straight games and are just a point behind LA with a game in hand. Los Angeles has the better offensive production, but San Jose has netted 23 goals during their streak, and in the end, winning is what matters.
Yes, the Islanders have actually worked their way into the playoff seeding. Too bad for them they're in line to face Pittsburgh.
With 89 goals, New York is tied for New Jersey and Colorado for least goals scored in the NHL. They still have a good defense, but Montreal won't let them get away with that kind of poor production.
Winnipeg is fortunate they're still in the Southeast Division. The Senators have lost their last three, but Winnipeg is just 3-7-0 in their last 10, including a five-game losing streak. With Craig Anderson back in the fold, Ottawa is in a good position to move forward.
The Bruins have won their last three games, and now have veteran Jaromir Jagr in the fold. We'll see if all of this improves their chances, but for now, it should at least give them the edge they need over Toronto.

Britney-watch-watch: Let's get this out of the way: I like Britney Spears. Not in a Chris Crocker/"Leave Britney Alone" kind of way. Just likes me my pop music. And so, not one to join in with the baying mob of Britney-Pointing Loons cluttering up the gossipular rim of the interweb, I have of late averted my eyes from the sad wobbling spiral of Spears and attempted to sensibly carry on with life, letting her do the same.
But, with the comeback single out, I found myself on a search for the newly-released official video, so that I may say charitable things about it and perhaps in some small way contribute to the resuscitation of her once-spangly career. But frankly, she's not making it easy.
Not only is there no sign of the comeback single or video on her official site, but the whole holding text that does live there, is so touched with the wand of "Sorry, wtf?"-ness that it would pain me not to show it to at least someone.
And then, in search of more information wandering around her official store, I can't help but note that though there is no sign of comeback single or video, there is mention of her fragrance 'In Control', which in a moment of lip-bleeding irony is, sadly for Brit, completely out of stock.
Then again, it was quite nice to see the other side of the celeb-pap relationship floating about the net. When a celebrity life goes into meltdown, there's always the handy fallback position of 'blame the paps', isn't there? Which is why Britney getting a flat tyre and having it mended by her constant following of rabid paparazzi is somehow quite a touching sight. There's clearly some level of affection between the much-maligned cut-throat lens-bunnies and the vague popstrel as she wanders around, having her photo taken with them, serenading them with snatches of 'Santa Claus is Comin' To Town' and, eventually, climbing back in the car with a cheery and reciprocated "Love you guys!".
And it's all very sweet, and a bit bizarre, and then you eventually can't help but return to the fact that, in early October, it's Christmas songs that are rocking the unconscious inner-jukebox of Miss Britney, and this frankly isn't going to do much to fan the flames of that fabulously successful comeback that could still be within grasp if we all just pull together.
And then we found the video. Sigh.
I am trying to be on your side, woman. Help me out.

What to serve with the best wines of 2009? Sunset wine editor Sara Schneider has the matches
With Abeja Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
Special Occasion Red of the Year (Columbia Valley, $43; available to winery mailing list)
Perfect pairing: Salt- and Herb-crusted Prime Rib with Fresh Horseradish Sauce
Why it works: The firm structure of a great Walla Walla Cabernet thrives in partnership with a well-marbled cut of beef to cushion the tannins just a little. Think of it as a feathertop on a firm mattress.
We've added earthy herbs to this beef to lock into Cabernet's foresty quality. And fresh horseradish punches up its mint factor. Christmas menu solved.
