[The art of music, both vocal and instrumental,
occupies a high position in the Bible. Previous
to the time of David, the music of the Hebrews
seems to have been of the simplest character,
as direct efforts to cultivate music among them
appear first in connexion with the schools of the
prophets, founded by Samuel. Under David's
direction not less than four thousand musicians,
i.e. more than the tenth part of the tribe of Levi,
praised the Lord with "instruments" in the service
of the temple. A select body of two hundred and
eighty-eight trained musicians led this chorus of
voices, one person being placed as leader over a
section consisting of twelve singers.]
From a historical perspective, you will note
two parallel items; namely:
"efforts to cultivate music among them
appear first in connexion with the schools of the
prophets, founded by Samuel." AND "This
eastern princess was married to King
Herremon on condition, made by this notable
patriarch, that he should abandon his former
religion, and build a college for the prophets."
"David's direction [of] not less than four thousand
musicians" AND "that this royal party
brought with them many remarkable things.
Among these was the harp, . . ." To do an
intelligent, scholarly and critical review of this
connection would involve a thorough comparative
study of Irish records and [ the verses of
Hebrew Scripture (including the Psalm
titles and words such as " selah ")
[which] are annotated with . . .musical
The Law of Arms in Medieval England
suggests " Heraldry's origins are unclear.
Various authors have posited Roman
standards, Teutonic totems, and Frankish
imperial seals as heraldry's ancestors."
Others suggest that "Heraldry is not an
invention of the Middle Ages but a
continuation of identification used by the
Tribes [of Israel] during the exodus
from Egypt."
The discussion under hand suggests any
Irish "Coat of Arms" would have derived
from a combination of "Priesthood" plus
Royalty "Coat of Arms". [ The institution
of David and of Solomon continued till
the Babylonish captivity.] See:
Symbolism of the Priesthood/Mediation
Suggested ancient origins come from
The Pearl of Great Price "Book of Abraham"
[Fig. 1. . . . Abraham, sitting upon Pharaoh's
throne, had a crown upon his head,
representing the Priesthood, as emblematical
of the grand Presidency in Heaven;
with the scepter of justice and judgment
in his hand.]
[The use of symbols in battle, both
to assist identification and to inspire
awe, is ancient. The term "heraldry"
tends today to be used in a strict sense
for hereditary symbols displayed
primarily on shields and flags, probably
from around the end of the eleventh
century ~ but in its origins the system
may be readily recognised as dating
from biblical times. "Every man of
the children of Israel shall pitch by his
own standard, with the ensign of their
father's house." (The Book of Numbers,
Chapter ii, verse 34).
Later Herodotus wrote "And to them is
allowed the invention of three things,
which have come into use among the
Greeks: for the Carians seem to be the
first who put crests upon their helmets
and sculptured devices upon their shields."
(Clio § 171). . . .]

PSFK Social Media Week Panelist: Steve Greenwood On Contextual Relationships
An interview with a guest speaker at our Social Media Week event on the Future of Work.
PSFK Labs is excited to share an exclusive preview of our Future of Work report at Social Media Week NYC on Wednesday February 20th at 12pm. Piers Fawkes and the PSFK Labs team will be presenting cutting edge innovations as we discuss how Making Social Work in Collaborative Workplaces is the future of work. For more information click here.
Wednesday's discussion will feature a leading panel of experts about how social media is changing how we work. We recently spoke with one of the featured panelists, Steve Greenwood, Founder of Brewster (@sgreenwood), about his work on improving how we can keep track of business contacts. If you have any questions for him, you can tweet them with #SMWFutureOfWork before our discussion so that we can include them in the talk.
What is the problem you are trying to solve?
Relationships are complicated and they continue to grow in complexity as we know more people. On a basic level, we fix your address book by gathering all updated merged contact information in one place and making your phone/email apps work better. On top of that, Brewster helps people stay in touch with who they know and brings back a sense of serendipity in understanding how all of our relationships are interconnected.
How does your product solve this problem?
Brewster helps you remember the hundreds of people in your world, reminds you when you should reach out to them, and enables you to easily access all contact information in one place. Brewster also provides you with an incredible search engine that helps you search by interests, location, employment and much more, making it easy to search in a fun and quick way.
What forces are affecting change in the work force/workplace?
Today, personal relationships have taken over the traditional job search engine. The people we work with become friends, friends become colleagues and industries continue to become smaller and more connected. Brewster helps frame relationships and contacts in the larger context of how we work and play — grounding our understanding of our industry and workplace on insights into relationships and real-life interactions. Brewster also helps you surface mutual connections and ties you never knew existed, helping you see opportunities you never saw before.
What do you think are the biggest factors for people to adapt to in these changes?
As technology changes the way we interact, it is important for people to have tools that provide context around relationships. We created Brewster to fix my own personal problem — nothing existed out there that really met my needs. Brewster is the reinvented address book — one that understands relationships, helps you keep in touch and in the process, helps you better understand the world (and workplace) around you.
Thanks Steve!
To participate in this free presentation you must register by Tuesday afternoon, 24 hours in advance. Running from 12pm to 1:30 pm in the Bloomberg building at 731 Lexington Avenue, the Future of Work discussion is filling up quickly so we recommend that you show up early and be prepared to show ID.
If you are unable to attend, you can follow the Livestream here and get in on the conversation on Twitter with #SMWFutureOfWork.

Mine Safety and Health Administration
Contact: (703) 235-1452
January 31, 1995
Secretary of Labor Robert B. Reich today announced his intention to appoint an advisory committee to make recommendations for the elimination of black lung and silicosis among coal miners.
"In the 25 years that the federal government has regulated dust levels in coal mines, coal miners' dust exposure and the devastating toll of lung disease have declined sharply," Reich said. "However, despite the knowledge and technology now available to control this hazard, too many miners still run a risk of developing occupational lung disease. The time is right for industry, labor and government to join in a combined effort to bring this disease to an end."
Reich said he will select seven individuals for the committee: one representing labor, one representing industry, and five persons--including the chairman--with no economic interest in the mining industry. Once appointed, the advisory committee is expected to convene early this year and deliver its recommendations within 180 days.
"The committee will provide a collective expertise to address the complex issues involved in ending occupational lung disease among coal miners," Reich said.
Since the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 set limits for respirable dust in coal mines, average dust levels in underground coal mines have declined from 8.0 milligrams per cubic meter to the current standard of 2.0 milligrams per cubic meter.
However, recent medical evidence indicates that miners continue to develop the debilitating effects of black lung and silicosis. Black lung is a commonly used term for lung disease resulting from excessive exposure to respirable coal mine dust, while silicosis results specifically from quartz dust (respirable crystalline silica). In severe cases, both black lung and silicosis can be disabling.
"We will be asking the advisory committee to address the full range of respirable dust issues," said Davitt McAteer, assistant secretary of labor for mine safety and health. "That includes the available means to control the dust, improved dust monitoring, the exposure limits necessary to prevent disease, the role of the miner in dust monitoring and the adequacy of the programs under which mine operators take samples to determine the dust levels to which miners are exposed."
Under existing Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) rules, mine operators are required control the amount of dust in the mine atmosphere, to obtain MSHA approval of those measures, and to monitor through sampling the amount of hazardous coal mine dust in areas where miners work or travel. If samples by either the mine operator or MSHA show noncompliance with the dust standard, MSHA issues a citation and requires the mine operator to correct the problem.
The 1969 law also established a black lung disability benefits program to compensate coal miners and the dependents of miners who have been disabled by occupational dust exposure. In the 25 years since the program was established, federal black lung benefit payments have totaled more than $30 billion.
Currently, the annual cost to the federal government of black lung disability benefits exceeds $1.3 billion, with 75,000 former miners receiving benefits.
The U.S. coal mining industry today employs roughly 140,000 miners, of whom more than 50,000 work underground. In recent years, U.S. coal production has reached record levels, with the value of coal mined totaling nearly $19 billion in 1993. Coal provides over half of U.S. electric power nationwide.
Notice of the Secretary's intent to establish an advisory committee is in today's Federal Register. Comments from interested members of the public are requested by Feb. 15, 1995. Copies of the Federal Register notice may be obtained from MSHA's Office of Standards, Regulations, and Variances, telephone (703) 235-1910.

Very interesting for anyone trying to get rights in the work place this is the guy who management hires to make sure it doesn't happen.
Unfortunately I think the book is out of print. Amazon has some in the twenty dollar range. It is well worth reading for anyone interested in the current labor battles in the midwest or in their own private fight in your work place.

1. Very very informative!
And everything he says is true. My son used to be an IBEW union steward He was a good one, too. Won 80% of his grievances against management about every year. He had the perfect temperament for the job, and studied the contract front to back. I could not have done what he did, because it truly would have driven me crazy. Mgmt was constantly doing everything they could to break the contract. Son was all "Cool-hand Luke", but meant business and they knew it. He had no fear. Thanks, geefloyd46, for posting these clips!

Hopefully they didn't undermine the union from within. That is a constant tactic with some companies who just won't except the union.

4. No...
...he did it about 10 years. But he got a better offer from another company closer to his home. But it took a toll on him, as for years he would come home from work and read and study the contract and write briefs on grievances, instead of going to bed. He got very little sleep. He was very devoted and went beyond the call of duty as a Union Steward AND employee. But he liked a challenge. He doesn't do anything half-way.

Installations occupy a special place within the overall body of video work produced. The ideas in a work are sometimes first explored in a single-channel core program that has a linear structure and that may use pseudo narrative or documentary devices.
The installations are open-ended and whilst derived from more formally-structured works they improvise with the existing material to explore non-linear spatial and temporal relationships in a different way.
Some examples of works that exist in different forms are: After Image, Plane Torque, Eye Contact, Sleep and Connected.

'Solid as a rock.' Have you heard someone say that before? Rocks have a reputation for being solid, hard, and indestructible. Rocks line river beds and jut above the landscape as mountain peaks; they are fun to collect and sometimes are very beautiful. Each rock is different - some are smooth and round, some are sharp and dangerous. They come in all colors: pink, green, orange, white, red. They are everywhere, and we take their presence for granted and assume that they are unchangeable.
But rocks are not unchangeable! Just like the water cycle, rocks undergo changes of form in a rock cycle. A metamorphic rock can become an igneous rock, or a sedimentary rock can become a metamorphic one. Unlike the water cycle, you can't see the process happening on a day-to-day basis. Rocks change very slowly under normal conditions, but sometimes catastrophic events like a volcanic eruption or a flood can speed up the process. So what are the three types of rocks, and how do they change into each other? Keep reading to find out!
Three types of rock:
Igneous rocks are formed when hot magma (melted rock) is rapidly cooled, either by hitting underground air pockets or by flowing from the mouth of a volcano as lava. Granite, obsidian, and pumice are all common examples of igneous rocks. Pumice is a very porous rock, because when the lava cooled, pockets of air were trapped inside. Because of all those air pockets, pumice can actually float!
Sedimentary rocks are formed by layers of sediment (dirt, rock particles, etc.) being mixed and compressed together for extended periods of time. Common examples of these rocks are limestone, sandstone, and shale. Sedimentary rocks often have lots of fossils in them because plants and animals get buried in the layers of sediment and turned into stone.
Metamorphic rocks are a combination of rock types, compressed together by high pressure and high heat. They usually have a more hard, grainy texture than the other two types. Schist, slate, and gneiss (pronounced like 'nice') are metamorphic rocks.
These rocks change over hundreds of years in the six steps of the rock cycle:
Weathering & Erosion. Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks on the surface of the earth are constantly being broken down by wind and water. Wind carrying sand wears particles off rock like sandpaper. Rushing river water and crashing surf rub off all the rough edges of rocks, leaving smooth river rocks or pebbles behind. Water seeps into the cracks in mountain rocks, then freezes, causing the rocks to break open. The result of all this: large rocks are worn down to small particles. When the particles are broken off a rock and stay in the same area, it is called weathering. When the particles are carried somewhere else, it is called erosion.
Transportation. Eroded rock particles are carried away by wind or by rain, streams, rivers, and oceans.
Deposition. As rivers get deeper or flow into the ocean, their current slows down, and the rock particles (mixed with soil) sink and become a layer of sediment. Often the sediment builds up faster than it can be washed away, creating little islands and forcing the river to break up into many channels in a delta. The Mississippi delta in Louisiana deposits lots of sediment in the Gulf of Mexico!
Compaction & Cementation. As the layers of sediment stack up (above water or below), the weight and pressure compacts the bottom layers. (Try making a stack of catalogs and watch how the bottom one gets squished as you add more on top - this is the same idea as the compaction of layers of sediment.) Dissolved minerals fill in the small gaps between particles and then solidify, acting as cement. After years of compaction and cementation, the sediment turns into sedimentary rock.
Metamorphism. Over very long periods of time, sedimentary or igneous rocks end up buried deep underground, usually because of the movement of tectonic plates. While underground, these rocks are exposed to high heat and pressure, which changes them into metamorphic rock. This tends to happen where tectonic plates come together: the pressure of the plates squish the rock that is heated from hot magma below. (Tectonic plates are large sections of the earth's crust that move separately from each other. Their movement often results in earthquakes.)
Rock Melting. Can you imagine 'rock hard' rocks melting? That's what they do in the depths of the earth! Metamorphic rocks underground melt to become magma. When a volcano erupts, magma flows out of it. (When magma is on the earth's surface, it is called lava.) As the lava cools it hardens and becomes igneous rock. As soon as new igneous rock is formed, the processes of weathering and erosion begin, starting the whole cycle over again!
See if you can find sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks where you live. As you study them, think about how they have undergone many slow changes to become what they are. Draw a picture of the rocks you find and then draw a diagram of the whole rock cycle. Next, do some rock cycle experiments.

The alfa-romeoEGR valve is usually an electrically operated pump fitted inside the water tank. The EGR valve applies a positive pressure helping the water travel to the engine along the water lines.
In most modern vehicles, the EGR valve is designed to provide a continuous flow of water to the engine and any excess water travels along a return line to the water tank.
Alfa Romeo Water-Injected Engines are monitored and controlled by an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) that can switch off the EGR valve if a collision is detected. This can also be achieved via an Inertia Switch
If the Alfa Romeo ECU detects a low oil pressure it may also switch off the EGR valve to prevent damage and the risk of fire
The water delivery system can be comprised of:

Leave Kid's Cereal Alone
It seems that experts have decided to once again tell us that sugary cereals are bad. It is part of the never ending quest by dieticians to take away everything that tastes good. Sugary cereals have always been bad but isn't that part of the fun? The Today Show's dietician say's NO, and offered tips on how to reduce the sugar intake. I wish they would focus on the real problem.
The real problem is kids don't play OUTSIDE. Parents won't make the kids play outside because parents today are too overprotective. The cereal's have ALWAYS had tons of sugar. Kids would then take that sugar rush and burn it playing games outdoors. The worse thing that would happen is the kid would get a cavity. Now with kids on video games all the time the risk is diabetes! Parents are now so afraid of their kid being bullied that they can only play if it's an organized game. Kids today don't even know how to play a game without a referee or parent supervising. Then when the kid balloons up in weight we blame the cereal. I ate cereal roughly every weekday from age 5 to 14. I was never overweight and the cereal never caused any harm. The reason . . . . I was playing outside burning off those calories.
These dieticians are just trying to validate their own existences. Adults need to watch what they eat. Kids are well oiled machines most times and just need to be active. Somebody needs to be a "parentician" and make these parents force their children to go get some air. Childhood obesity would be cut by 70% if kids played outside and all the ailments would drop with the weight. Let the kids enjoy breakfast. A rice cake NEVER made a kid smile. School is hard enough when you're a kid, don't insult them with rubbish food. Do you think we overreact to sugary cereal?

BYU's two-game losing streak in the West Coast Conference tournament is over.
Kyle Collinsworth turned in a monster performance with career highs in points (23) and rebounds (16) and the Cougars held off Loyola Marymount 85-74 in front of a partisan BYU crowd of 7,688 at Orleans Arena.
It was BYU's fifth-straight win and ninth in its last 10 outings.
Up next for BYU is San Francisco on Monday; The Dons beat San Diego 69-60 in the first quarterfinal.
The story of Saturday's game was Collinsworth, who had his first double-double since Jan. 23, that triple-overtime loss at Portland.<

Stain of military thuggery spreads as net widens
Page Tools
United States Army authorities are investigating at least 24 cases in which their soldiers are accused of assaulting Iraqi civilians or stealing their money, jewellery and other property during raids, patrols and house-to-house searches, defence officials said.
In some instances, investigators say, soldiers were reported to have stolen cash from Iraqis they stopped at roadside checkpoints.
The army's Criminal Investigation Command is also examining at least six cases in which soldiers reportedly kicked or beat civilian Iraqis, or fired weapons to intimidate them.
These cases are included in an internal summary prepared last month by the investigation command at the request of army officials who are struggling to understand the scope of mistreatment and alleged crimes committed by US soldiers in Iraq in addition to the torture and abuse at Abu Ghraib prison and other army-run jails.
While military officials in Washington and in Iraq say the reports of thievery and lawlessness are isolated cases among more than 135,000 US troops, others say the official numbers probably underestimate the actual offences because most Iraqis are too frightened to file formal complaints.
The army has acknowledged it is investigating 37 deaths of prisoners in US custody in Iraq and Afghanistan. Other confidential army documents have chronicled a widespread pattern of abuse involving prisoners in US custody in Iraq and Afghanistan that implicates more military units than previously known.
A spokesman for the investigation command did not respond to several phone calls and email messages over the weekend.
In another development, 20 death certificates for Afghan and Iraqi prisoners who died in US custody were completed in a 10-day rush only after the investigation into the abuses at Abu Ghraib became public last month, even though some of the deaths occurred months - many months - before.
The handling of the death certificates suggests that many of the known investigations into abuses against Afghan and Iraqi detainees moved glacially, at least until the photographs of hooded, shackled and naked Iraqi prisoners appeared last month.
According to military officials and a review of army documents, the investigations have been complicated by factors, including austere and violent conditions in Iraq and Afghanistan, cultural and language barriers and a convoluted and sluggish military bureaucracy.

Barry White, 9/12/1944 - 7/4/2003
 Barry White's larger than life frame was only eclipsed by his larger than life talent. "The Maestro of Love" was at home on "Soul Train", guesting on "The Today Show", playing a showcase on "The Dinah Shore Show" in the 70s, as well as appearing in cartoon form on "The Simpsons". Photo: WireImage Born in Galveston, TX, Barry White grew up singing gospel songs with his mother and taught himself to play piano. Shortly after moving from Texas to South Central Los Angeles, White made his recording debut at the tender age of 11, playing piano on Jesse Belvin's "Goodnight My Love." He made his first record, "Little Girl", when he was 16 with a group called the Upfronts. Photo: WireImage Prior to his recording career, Barry White worked for various indie labels as an A&R man, working with the Bobby Fuller Four and the 5th Dimension. When the primary label he worked for went under, he started writing songs for other artists, including an unknown girl group who White christened Love Unlimited. Next, White decided he wanted to write for a male artist but was convinced to record this own material. He made his debut with 1973's I've Got So Much to Give featuring "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby". Can't Get Enough followed in 1974 with single "You're the First, the Last, My Everything". White's other major hits include "Can't Get Enough of Your Love", "Let the Music Play", "Never Gonna Give You Up", "Your Sweetness Is My Weakness" and "It's Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next to Me". Barry White pictured in 1974 with the Love Unlimited, the vocal trio who contributed the cooing background vocals to his million-selling hits and sold-out concerts. The group included White's future wife Glodean James. Photo: WireImage The Love Unlimited's Under the Influence Of... album includes the smash hit "Love's Theme". The 40-piece Love Unlimited Orchestra's lush, string-laden sound helped set the stage for the emergence of disco. Barry White's classic single "You're the First, the Last, My Everything" was released in 1974 on the Can't Get Enough album. Barry White's studio band included such luminaries as Ray Parker Jr., Lee Ritenour, and bassist Wilton Felder of The Crusaders. Barry White on the cover of Jet in August 22, 1974 with wife Glodean.

After a decade with eight Barry White albums, four Love Unlimited albums, four Love Unlimited Orchestra albums, constant touring, dealing with the rigors of the music industry and declining sales entering the 80s, White would soon take an extended break from music.

He revived his career with 1992's The Icon Is Love, the biggest selling album of his career since the 70s, and won two Grammys in 1999 with Staying Power.

Apparently Ohio Pain Clinics do not accept out of state workman's comp. He has chronic back pain caused by a botched up fusion surgery from 1988. He has had 7 back surgeries and 2 neck surgeries; several of them fusions.
His WC case is open with a case manager. Now we have moved to Ohio and no one will accept him as a patient. He is unable to work without pain management so we don't have other health insurance.
I don't know where to turn. He is at his wits end. It is dead end after dead end whenever he gets a referral.
He is in his 50's and not an abuser. Just in pain and needs help. Does anyone know if this is a law in Ohio to not accept out of state WC? I am thinking of maybe going to Pennslyvania since it is less than an hour away.
Anyone living in this area know anything about Ohio and Workman's Comp?

They fielded just eight fit players, were belted by 37 points at Bendigo the night before and were rank $9 outsiders with the bookies.
But only a desperate buzzer-beater from Bulleen star Tess Madgen stopped a determined Canberra Capitals from pulling off a huge upset in Melbourne on Sunday.
Minus suspended forward Brigitte Ardossi and regular starter Michelle Cosier (broken nose), the Capitals looked set for another hammering when down 22 points early in the second quarter.
Canberra responded with a 19-4 run to finish the second quarter within just seven points at half-time. The Boomers rallied to build a 12-point lead with less than three minutes left, but a three-pointer from Capitals guard Nicole Hunt levelled scores with six seconds left.
However, Canberra was left shattered when Madgen (25 points, six rebounds) nailed a two-point bank shot on the buzzer to seal victory for the hosts.
Capitals skipper Jess Bibby, outstanding with 25 points from 9-12 shooting, said it would have ranked as one of the gutsiest wins in her 16 seasons in the league.
''It'd be right up there if we were able to, I can't remember too many times over the years having to play with eight fit players,'' Bibby said.
''We were down 20-odd early and it's tough to lose the way we did, but we showed a lot of character to get back into it. I'm pretty sure she [Madgen] wasn't planning on banking it in, there was a little bit of luck on their side and that sums up our season a little bit.''
Without Ardossi and Lauren Jackson, the Capitals were outsized against one of the biggest teams in the WNBL. Bulleen were on fire early from the perimeter, but Canberra used its greater mobility to find easy baskets in the back end.
Young centre Alex Bunton (13 points, 10 rebounds) finished with a double-double in her best performance in a Capitals singlet.
Bulleen were carried over the line by Madgen and Alice Kunek, who had a monster game with 28 points and 10 rebounds.
''We played a fair bit of zone [defence] and they were hitting shots early, that dried up and we were able to use our smaller [players] to our advantage by running at them,'' Bibby said.
''We were mixing up between man and zone and we probably lost Kunek a little bit at times. But we didn't win, it just goes down as a disappointing loss but the girls can hold their heads up.'' Canberra host West Coast on Friday.
BULLEEN BOOMERS 77 (A Kunek 28, T Madgen 25, R Jarry 13) bt CANBERRA CAPITALS 75 (J Bibby 25, N Hunt 16, A Bunton 13) at the Veneto Club.

Bad times ... hard living ... heartache.
Washington politics? Maybe.
Country music -- definitely.
In the latest edition of the White House music series, President Obama paid tribute to country music last night by saying it has "helped to shape our nation" by "giving voice to the emotions of everyday life."
"Country music can be about love," Obama said. "It can be about heartache. It can sing sad times, or it can yell out that I'm just here having a good time. And it can remind us, especially when lots of our friends and neighbors are going through tough times, of what we've got to fight for and who we have to be."
Obama also said, "As we look forward to celebrating this holiday season, let's take the time to appreciate the things that matter most in our lives: country, family and community."
From the Associated Press:
Cowboy hats and bolo ties mixed with the majestic chandeliers of the East Room for a toe-tapping series of performances by Dierks Bentley, Alison Krauss, Lyle Lovett, Kris Kristofferson, Darius Rucker, James Taylor, The Band Perry, Lauren Alaina and Micky.
"Tonight, we are turning the East Room into a bona fide country music hall," Obama said. Only days after wrapping up a nine-day trip through Hawaii, Australia and Indonesia, the president told guests that Johnny Cash "was really singing our song when he sang, 'I've been everywhere, man.' "
Obama said country music tied together many threads of the nation's immigrant heritage, from the Irish fiddle, the German dulcimer, the Italian mandolin, the Spanish guitar and the West African banjo. "At its most pure, that's what country music is all about -- life in America. It's about storytelling -- giving voice to the emotions of everyday life."
Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, wearing a pink silk pantsuit, watched from the front row to a set list of country music past and present.
Bentley opened the concert by telling the audience that his thoughts were with members of the military and their families and then broke into a stirring rendition of "Home," his current hit.
Taylor, wearing a tan Stetson hat with his blue suit, sang his 1970s hit "Riding on the Railroads," and performed a version of Glen Campbell's "Wichita Lineman." Krauss performed an acoustic version of "When You Say Nothing At All," her 1995 hit song. Lovett reprised his 1994 hit, "Funny How Time Slips Away."
Country star Willie Nelson's influence loomed large over the show. Kristofferson and Rucker performed "Pancho and Lefty," a 1983 hit by Nelson and Merle Haggard, while Alaina did a rendition of Elvis Presley's "You Were Always on My Mind," which Nelson turned into a Grammy winner, also in 1983.
Some of the most recognizable country standards were featured, with Alaina covering Loretta Lynn's "Coal Miner's Daughter," and The Band Perry performing Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You."
Rucker, the former front man for Hootie and the Blowfish, got a shout-out from Obama -- "Hootie's in the house," Obama told the audience -- and later performed his contemporary hit, "I Got Nothin'."
By the end of the night, the entire ensemble was on stage as Kristofferson led them in an uplifting version of "Me and Bobby McGee," the song Kristofferson co-wrote with Fred Foster and was later sung memorably by Janis Joplin.
Obama said the concert was a fitting tribute to the impact of country music on American life. Since first running for president, Obama said, "I've hopped on planes to big cities. I've ridden buses through small towns. And along the way, I've gained an appreciation for just how much country music means to so many Americans."
In 2009, Mrs. Obama created a White House music series that has celebrated jazz, country, classical, Motown and Latin music. She has also arranged salutes to Broadway, the music of the civil rights movement, and Judith Jamison, an Alvin Ailey dancer and artistic director.
"Country Music: In Performance at the White House" will be broadcast Wednesday at 8 p.m. EST on PBS stations and shown at a later date on the American Forces Network to military service personnel around the world.

Evan Dorkin On The (Final) Return Of 'The Eltingville Club' [NYCC 2013]
Back in those happy days before you could turn on the TV and hear a canned laughtrack echoing around some angular goofball in a Flash t-shirt, Evan Dorkin's The Eltingville Club was delivering the funniest and most brutally sharp portrayal of the dregs of fandom that you could find. Now, after 20 years of comics stories and an animated pilot in 2002, it looks like a new two-issue miniseries from Dark Horse finally is the end of the Eltingville Club!
At New York Comic-Con, we talked about the origins of the series in hate mail from Justice League fans, what the reaction is, and Dorkin's feelings on the animated pilot.
ComicsAlliance: Let's talk about Welcome to Eltingville.
Evan Dorkin: Welcome to Eltingville is the name of the failed pilot. We thought if we called it The Eltingville Club, people would think that it was going to be a show about comics, that it would literally be a fan club type of show, like a G4 show about the medium rather than a show with stories and characters, so we called it Welcome to Eltingville. We're doing two issues, calling it The Eltingville Club, because there's never been an Eltingville comic. There's just been a bunch of short stories over the last 20 years.
Basically, it's a tragic story of four older teenagers who are fans, and they're possibly some of the worst fans who have ever lived.
CA: They're the people that everyone who has ever worked at a comic book store hates.
ED: Well, they're also the people at the comic book store that everyone hates. They're the angry fans, they're the battling fans. They're not the nice, poor little geeky, bullied old stereotype of fans. I worked in a store and I've been doing this for a whlie. The characters came around because my then-publisher Dan Vado was writing for DC Comics and he was getting death threats and hate mail.
CA: Was this when he was writing Extreme Justice?
ED: He was doing the Justice League or something like that, and a character was bumped off, and lunatics and people who hold fake, fictional characters who can never die because they'll never allow the copyright to go out so there's no reason to get upset, your fake ghost character will show up again, were sending him death threats. I was so angry and pissed off about the stuff he was reading to me. It just didn't make any sense. People don't get this passionate about the government, but they're going to be upset about a comic book.
So I was doing an anthology called Instant Piano for Dark Horse, I guess this was '93, and I decided to write a story about four horrible fans. It was supposed to be a one-shot, but I got into it and people liked it, and I kept going with it.
CA: It's interesting that you had that good response. I love those stories, but it seems like it's a tough sell for comics fans on a book that's about hating comics fans.
ED: Well, here's the thing. Yeah, I understand that. It is very negative, it is, of course, exaggerated. I have gotten hate mail. I did have a retailer freak out on me once at San Diego about my remarks at the Eisners once that came out of this stuff. The book is for fans that get it, and retailers that get it, and professionals that get it and live it. I'm a fan. People don't like the book because they think that I shouldn't be so negative or that I portray stereotypes or pile on fandom, because even with the acceptance now, people still make fun of fandom. There's different levels of fans fighting each other now, it's just not going to change.
But this could've been about sports. This could've been about guys who paint themselves blue, get drunk and scream at everybody, who love a team but call for the death of the manager and hate all the players. They hate the team but they love the team, they think they could do a better job, f**k each other over for collectibles. It could be about card nuts, but I know this. I know comics, I know science fiction, I know this pop culture and junk culture.
CA: I think that's obvious to anyone who reads your work. I mean, World's Funnest is not written by a guy who doesn't love those comics.
ED: That's what people didn't get. If you can make jokes about the Melter, or about K-9 before Doctor Who blew up — who the hell ever thought that would happen? — if you know this crap… that's like thinking there are fake girl fans. You're demented if you think that people are going to go to conventions dressed as characters for… whatever reason, I don't know what people were saying. Social cachet? Money? Sex? I don't think so. I think maybe they wanted to do it, and if they buy a ticket to a show, they're allowed to do whatever the f**k they want that's legal. You buy the ticket, you go to the show.
But it's about people who complain about that. It's about the worst aspects of fandom. Four people who hate themselves, hate each other and live through their hobby. And it's a comedy.
CA: I got into Eltingville when the pilot came out. I read the stories after I saw the cartoon.
ED: Oh, really? That's cool.
CA: I was excited to see it because I knew you from Milk & Cheese and Dork and World's Funnest, and I was working at a comic book store at the time, so I really identified with it.
ED: I worked in a comic store for six years, off and on. I got fired a few times. But the store was in Eltingville, that's where Eltingville comes from. I just needed a name. If I'd remembered Drew Friedman did The Lord oF Eltingville in his old comics, I wouldn't have done it. You ever see that movie Albert Brooks did, Modern Romance? There's a part where the director gets crazy because Alien had a scene where someone says "he's in the bowels of the ship" and we have a "bowels of the ship" so maybe we should change it to "the basement of the ship?" You can't get too crazy like that. I have.
So yeah, Eltingivlle was a comic shop, Jim Hanley's Universe in Eltingville. I'd been fired from the fantastic store, and he rehired me, and all this came out of my experiences as a retailer, a manager, a fan, a cartoonist, a kid going to conventions when I was 13 by myself. I mean, I love this stuff, but that doesn't mean you can't criticize the worst aspects of it.
I love superheroes, but people don't seem to know that. You make a joke about Batman on a panel, and some guy doesn't understand that I'm on the panel because I did a comic book about Batman and Superman. I don't do that thing where I say I hate superheroes and keep getting superhero work like some people seem to. I love superheroes, I just don't like all the comics, and that's the way it should be. People should just make choices! Eltingville is about people who make insane choices.
In one of the stories, the mother hires two interventionists to break her son of the habit, and he ends up destroying them and getting them back into fandom after 15 hours of being tied up and screamed at. All of the stories are about mania, they're about abnormal psyches. It's not about any one fan. People actually take it personally, like I know Frank X in Boise and I'm making fun of him. If you see yourself in here, and I get letters from people who see themselves in here — "I see my friends in here, but not me! When we're at the D&D game beating each other over the head, they're crazy, and I'm just trying to settle a fight about beholders!" But this is me and my friends, this is my life, you know? I didn't go to my prom, I was rolling dice that night.
The industry responded really well to it, maybe because they, I don't know, don't want to say some of these things, or don't feel there's a need? But there's been like six stories, seven stories, I've won three Eisners, but we've never finished it up.
CA: So this is the last Eltingville Club story?
ED: This'll be the end. I used to always say "Is this the end of the Eltingville Club?" because it was supposed to be a one-shot. A lot of my stuff is just a one-shot that gets out of control. Milk & Cheese was a cocktail napkin drawing. Beasts of Burden was one eight-page story. Murder Family was done for a book called Epic Life that nobody ever read, probably the lowest selling Marvel book other than Street Poet Ray. I just come up with more ideas, and if people respond, I'll try another one. So we did a second strip, "Bring Me the Head of Boba Fett," which was about an epic trivia contest to win the right to spend too much money on a Boba Fett doll.
That's the one we adapted into a pilot, which was probably a mistake on my part. I think it made people think that it was just going to be four guys yelling trivia questions. I still to this day don't know why the pilot failed. I have ideas, but I don't know what they didn't like about it.
CA: I feel like if it would've come out two years later, it would've been huge.
ED: It's really funny to see people talk about Eltingville, they'll throw a page online or mention it on Twitter, and invariably someone will say "He's ripping off KC Green! He's ripping off Big Bang Theory!" I don't think anybody's ripping off anybody, although actually, I think KC Green has acknowledged that he's an Eltingville reader. He's doing a totally different thing, though. He's walking a different walk. I've read it, I'm going "his characters don't act like my characters." I don't have a problem with it, it's fandom.
I think it's great that more people are doing things about fandom. People ask "why do you write about comics so much," but it's okay if you're writing about novels or music or movies. On the one hand, we love comics, but on the other, it's not worth satirizing? People said it was childish. I don't mind if they find the work childish, that's their opinion, but the idea of writing about comics, a medium we love and that people spend their lives in and buy stuff from and now is being adapted to every movie in the cineplex? Why shouldn't we write about comics? Movies about movies are cool, comics about comics are foolish.
But we'll see. We're going to collect it. We're doing two one-shots, black and white, one is about the death of the group, the final nail in the coffin. There was a zombie story in Dark Horse Presents about a year ago, the first full-color story, with a zombie crawl that they destroyed.
They're purists, they hate fast-moving zombies, so they end up sabotaging the fast-moving zombies, and they've been fighting so long. The first book is about the dissolution of the group, and in the second, they all run into each other ten years later at San Diego, and basically try to come to terms together and hash things out. Because it's one of my comics, things do not go well.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
Thank you very much for getting back to me. I will now address your concerns. If i filed bankruptcy would i be able to keep my investment property? I am trying to figure out what would be better to get rid of all the credit card debt (by filing bk) or walking away from the investment property... Response: Unfortunately, you cannot keep your rental property if you file for bankruptcy relief unless you make payments on the mortgage and keep the mortgage payments current. Since the mortgage is upside down--you owe more on it than the property securing it is worth, it may not be such a good idea to keep paying on it--pouring money down the drain. If you walk away and the property is foreclosed the lender may come after you for the deficiency after the foreclosure sale depending on the type of foreclosure method used: judicial or non judicial foreclosure. In a judicial foreclosure, the foreclosure sale is accomplished through the Courts and the lender may file for deficiency judgment. On the other hand, in a non judicial foreclosure the lender relies on the power of sale contained in the mortgage or deed of trust for authority to foreclose. In this type of foreclosure, the lender cannot come after you for deficiency after the foreclosure sale. You may also consider bankruptcy to get rid off your credit card debts.
You might be eligible to file for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy relief if you meet the income guidelines for your household size in your state. If your income is equal to or less than the current income guidelines for your household size in your state, you may be eligible to file for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy all things being equal. In Chapter 7, if the Court grants you a discharge your debts will be wiped out. You would get a clean state, a fresh start.
These are the current income guidelines for the State of California: Household of one person $49,182.00 Household of two persons $65,097.00 Household of three persons $70,684.00 Household of four persons $79,971.00 Add $6,900.00 for each additional individual
If you are not eligible for a Chapter 7, you may be able to file a Chapter 13 if you have disposable income —extra income after your necessary expenses every month to fund a Chapter 13 plan and you must also meet the debt limit requirement. You may able to file for Chapter 13 if your unsecured debts are less than $336,900.00 and secured debts are less than $1,010,650.00. In Chapter 13, you prepare a payment plan and make payments to your creditors on 3 or 5-year plan. If your income is equal to or less than the current income guidelines for your household size in your state, you would do a 3 year plan. However, if your income is more than the current income guidelines for your household size in your state, you would do a 5 year plan.
You must receive budget and credit counseling from an approved credit counseling agency within 180 days before your bankruptcy case is filed. This means that if you are filing your bankruptcy case on Monday, you need to do the credit counseling on Sunday, the day before, not on Monday the day that you are filing for bankruptcy relief, and if you are filing your bankruptcy on Tuesday, you need to do your credit counseling by Monday and not on Tuesday, which is the day that you are for the bankruptcy relief. You cannot do the credit counseling the same day that you are filing for bankruptcy protection. The agency will review possible options available to you in credit counseling and assist you in reviewing your budget. Different agencies provide the counseling in-person, by telephone, or over the Internet.
It is usually a good idea for you to meet with an attorney before you receive the required credit counseling. Unlike a credit counselor, who cannot give legal advice, an attorney can provide counseling on whether bankruptcy is the best option. If bankruptcy is not the right answer for you, a good attorney will offer a range of other suggestions. The attorney can also provide you with a list of approved credit counseling agencies, or you can check the website for the United States Trustee Program office at http://www.usdoj.gov/ust/eo/bapcpa/ccde/cc_approved.htm
After your case is filed, you must complete an approved course in personal finances. This course will take approximately two hours to complete. Your attorney can give you a list of organizations that provide approved courses, or you can check the website for the United States Trustee Program office at http://www.usdoj.gov/ust/eo/bapcpa/ccde/de_approved.htm
Consult a local bankruptcy attorney for further explanations of your rights and responsibilities.

A lakh, my friend, is a hundred thousand rupees, say twelve thousand pounds.
A lakh—that is, reckoned at the present rate of exchange, 6,500 pounds sterling.
I thought that she was saved, and felt more happy than if I had received a lakh of rupees.
Not personally, but it cost the Bank close upon a quarter of a lakh.
As the king had promised to give a lakh of rupees to the detective, that sum was placed before the son of the younger thief.
If your Majesty leaves behind you the lakh and a half demanded by my partner I shall at least say that which is true.
Proclamation was made in the city to the effect that whoever caught the thief would get the reward of a lakh of rupees.
The king then hawks himself about, "Will any one buy me with half a lakh of gold coins, and deliver me from an ocean of sorrows."
Unless you can show me your lakh of rupees, you cannot become my beloved son-in-law.
Sahib, you will hardly believe it when I tell you, that the whole amounted to very nearly a lakh of rupees.

"And frankly, Utah has a lot to offer in terms of economic growth and healthcare reform. I am eager to discuss some of these successes with other governors and learn from them as well."
Governor Herbert will also join other governors in a meeting with Governor Romney and his presidential campaign.
"I look forward to meeting with Governor Romney and discussing how Republican Governors can help the fight to turn the national economy around," Governor Herbert said.
The Governor will attend numerous panels and discussions led by various Republican Governors.

A bill to let the National Institutes of Health keep supporting federal chimpanzees retired to the national sanctuary in northwest Louisiana has passed the U.S. Senate.
The Senate passed it by voice vote Wednesday, the same day it was approved by the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
It would let the secretary of Health and Human Services override a $30 million cap on federal money for Chimp Haven if that would cut the cost of maintaining chimpanzees owned by the National Institutes of Health, which decided this year to end most medical research on humans' closest relative.
"We're very close to spending the full $30 million," said Cathy Willis Spraetz, Chimp Haven's president and CEO. The sanctuary will probably hit the cap in mid-November, she said.
A study commissioned by The Humane Society of the United States has estimated annual costs of housing alone for research chimpanzees at $21,900 per animal. Chimp Haven spends about $13,000 per animal; NIH covers 75 percent of that — about $9,750 — for each one it owns.
The government owns 149 of the 163 chimpanzees at Chimp Haven, which foots the entire bill for 14 privately owned great apes.
Sixty more are expected by March from a lab owned by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, which did not renew its federal contract to study them. About 20 are scheduled during the first week in January, Spraetz said in a telephone interview.
"Moving these chimps to sanctuary care is not only the right thing to do, but doing so would also be more cost-efficient for NIH and for taxpayers," the bill's sponsor, Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, said in a release. "Now that the Senate has acted, I hope that the House of Representatives will quickly take up this important bill to ensure that NIH can use resources it already has on hand to ensure these chimps' well-being now and in the future."
The bill was co-sponsored by two Republicans — Sens. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and Richard Burr of North Carolina.
"This is fantastic news — one step closer to giving chimpanzees the life they deserve! Now on to the next steps," Kathleen Conlee, the humane society's vice president for animal research issues, wrote in an email after the Senate voted.
The bill would run through fiscal 2023.
"At least it gives us another 10 years to figure out our next steps," Spraetz said.

London (Jun. 14)
Dr. J. H. Hertz, chief rabbi of England today issued a statement deploring participation by Jews in attempts to disrupt Fascist meetings.
Such action, he declared, has been interpreted by the Fascists and other anti-Semites as proof that the Jews are a body against one special political party.
"This is a fantastic falsehood," he declared, "but is capable of greatly harming British Jewry. Irresponsible Jews, interrupting the meetings, make possible the broadcasting such falsehoods, discrediting their faith and undermining the position of the Jews."

Let 1st Contact introduce you to Siobhan Cassidy – a world traveler of note, she shares her experiences with us. Siobhan is the editor of www.leavingsa.com and www.backtosa.com.
Siobhan, tell us a bit about yourself. Where are you from, what do you do for a living and for fun and what was your passion growing up?
I was born in Zambia, but my family moved to Zimbabwe (where my Mum is from; my Dad is Irish) when I was a baby. We lived in Zim until I was eight, when we moved to Johannesburg. I went to a local junior school, but was sent to high school in Natal. I think I was set up from an early age to want to keep moving. Since leaving school I have lived in various parts of SA (East London, Durban, Pietermaritzburg, Jo'burg, Pretoria, Cape Town) as well as doing two stints in the UK (a year and 9.5 years).
I am a journalist, which is very well suited to my lifestyle. I feel like I am always tapping into new experiences and interesting stories.
What do I do for fun? …. mmmmm … I would say, live a full and exciting life.
I see you've done a lot of traveling in South Africa. If there's a place, that's off-the-map – a hidden gem of sorts, what is it, and why is it so great?
Just before I left SA at the beginning of this month I did a 5000km road trip around the country, saying goodbye to family, friends and places. South Africa is made for road trips! It is difficult to pick a gem but read about my trip on www.BacktoSA.com and you'll see that there was at least a gem a day, lots of them rough diamonds, the best kind of gems.
You've recently decided to pack your belongings and travel across the Americas and Europe. What's that been like so far? What's has been the biggest challenge?
This journey started with me losing my job in the recession, which was a bit challenging. Once I had been chucked off the treadmill, though, I decided it would be better to stay off it until it started starts moving again properly. Hence the sabbatical, starting with doing a TEFL course in Costa Rica. The course has been extremely hard work, which I had not expected. It has been fascinating too, and Costa Rica is so interesting! Read about out adventures on www.LeavingSA.com.
Skipping across so many countries, how do you manage your money? Do you find your bank(s) easy to work with?
I think it takes a while to 'train' your bank, to get them used to the fact that you don't have an ordinary life. They like to put people in one of two boxes: ordinary worker bees (vanilla, stable, predictable) or fabulously rich (do whatever you like). I am neither.
I have had my bank in the UK put a stop on my account a few times because they see what they think in 'suspicious activity'. Sorry, but that's me. I wish I was an account holder in a truly international bank.
I have a property in the UK and one in SA (I have tenants in both), but am not (yet) cash rich. There are times when I need to move money between my SA and UK accounts and you would think I was trying to buy a nuclear missile.
I am with Standard Bank in SA and have a personal banker there, which makes life so much easier. I am moving to Spain at the end of April for at least 6 months, probably longer. If I settle there, a personal banker will be one of the first things on my list of things I must acquire.
Where do you say, you've found the locals the most welcoming? Why do you think so?
I have found people pretty welcoming everywhere. Right now, I can't think of a place that was unwelcoming, although the Japanese can be pretty difficult to read.
As we all know, it makes a huge difference if you try to speak the language a little, just a few apologetic words in their language and you are away (in yours). If not, there will probably be an Aussie or a Nigerian nearby to help translate.
Have you lived in London for more than 3 months? Where did you stay? Do you miss it?
I spent a year in London when I was in my early 20s, and then went back 'for a year or so' later in my 20s and stayed for 9.5 years.
I lived all over: East Finchley, Muswell Hill, Earlsfield, Fulham, Hackney, Wood Green and, finally, Raynes Park. Raynes Park, or Van Raynes Park as it is affectionately known to the many SAfricans who live there, it is a fantastic village-like suburb 18 minutes by train from Waterloo and a 15 minute walk from Wimblefontein, home of the All England Lawn Tennis Club.
Have you had any hassles with getting your visas? What's been your experience with home affairs in the various countries?
No visa problems so far as I am one of the lucky ones, with SA and Irish citizenship. One comment about SA Home Affairs, though, like the SA Receiver of Revenue, Home Affairs (in Cape Town at least) has really got their stuff sorted. Now if only SA can get the driver licensing disaster sorted out ordinary South Africans might all be able to get the right papers for everything.
Travelling as a woman, do you have any advice or tips for other ladies travelling alone or in a small group? Any hair-raising tales?
A simple strategy has worked for me so far: Don't be afraid and don't be a fool.
Do you have any parting words for people migrating back to SA or leaving South Africa in search of work, fun or adventure?
Get out there and live life! Pile up those experiences and taste everything you can, but be sure to come back home and share it with us. There is so much to experience out there and there are so many lessons to be learned by taking the road less travelled (and taking off you training wheels), but there is also nothing like home.
I will be back. I have not visited a single city that comes anywhere near Cape Town.

Tributes have been paid to a "truly special" undertaker who famously drove the flower-covered hearse carrying Princess Diana's coffin to her final resting place.
Sidney Clarke, 75, of Falkland Avenue, New Southgate, was well-loved in the community and enjoyed chatting to everyone he met.
He started out as an electrician in Camden before becoming an undertaker in 1995 and moving to Barnet in 2000.
Over the years he drove the hearses of many famous people including the politician Enoch Powell and the comedian Spike Milligan. But the job everyone remembered him for was in 1997 when he was asked to take part in Princess Diana's funeral.
His daughter Julie Sparkes, 51, said: "Before he did it he had to sign the Official Secrets Act so he couldn't give us any details about where he was taking the coffin. He didn't tell us anything.
"But for years after he absolutely loved talking about it and if people recognised him they'd be stuck for an hour speaking to him.
"He was always saying how proud he was that he was chosen to take Princess Diana to her final place of rest."
Mr Clarke was awarded the Royal Victorian Medal at Buckingham Palace for his service to the Royal Family.
He continued to work as a freelance undertaker for Arthur W Luck & Sons in East Finchley until his death on Tuesday, March 12, and was a keen fisherman. Mr Clarke had two daughters with his wife Patricia, 73, and the couple had five grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.
Every day he would visit his daughter Jackie Salmon, 55, at her hairdressing salon JJ's in Alston Road, Barnet.
Mrs Sparkes said: "He liked the ladies and would chat to everyone telling them their hair looked wonderful – even if they hadn't had it done.
"He was such a popular man, he knew so many people in the community.
"He was totally unselfish and would do anything for anyone, he had old-fashioned values and was a truly special man. And he was an absolutely wonderful dad – the best dad you could get."
More than 70 people have confirmed their attendance at Mr Clarke's funeral, but anyone who knew him is invited to attend the service at New Southgate Crematorium in Oakleigh Road North at 12.45pm tomorrow.

An evening with Colette Mann and Deborah Kennedy
(from Alan Bennett's Talking Heads)
Moonee Ponds Clocktower Centre, October 3-4,
CUB Malthouse October 30, then a national tour
We spend this evening with two wonderful actors, Colette Mann and Deborah Kennedy who perform two of Alan Bennett's monologues written for BBC television in 1987. In Her Big Chance, Mann is Lesley, a hopeful actress who fails to see that her career is taking her into murky places. In Bed Among the Lentils, Kennedy takes us to the bleak world of Susan, the vicar's wife with a drinking problem.
What Lesley lacks in intellectual power she makes up for with a sunny nature that is irresistibly optimistic. She's not the good-time girl she usually plays on screen, she tells us, but her waking up each morning in a different man's bed suggests otherwise - it certainly confirms her generous good nature. A persistent smiler, delivering cliche after cliche as if new-minted, her girlish manners aim at respectability, but her naive account of her filming experience, on board a yacht, describes a soft-porn venture of astonishing banality.
Susan, on the other hand, has too much intelligence for her own good. Her sotto voce comments on the Anglican Church, her husband, the bishop, her husband's parishioner acolytes, and even the deity himself, are sharp, acerbic and funny. But the darker side of her life, where real pain lies, is revealed in her drinking habits.
Mann's performance as Lesley is a wonderful mixture of charm and self-delusion, where she creates a character who seems cheerfully headed for disaster. Kennedy gives a superb performance as Susan. Every cutting, satiric, funny line is shadowed with the tragedy of a woman trapped in a living hell, unable, in the end, even to take enjoyment in her own wit.

Steal of the Day: Deluxe Potting Bench
I have been coveting a real potting bench for years now, but have never gotten around to investing in one. Instead, I make do by swaddling our teak deck table with a layer of newspapers. Even when I'm at my most diligent, though, this method always makes a huge mess. What I'd really love is this Deluxe Potting Bench ($399, regularly $499). It would keep me organized and keep our deck from suffering under its semipermanent residue of potting soil. With places for everything from your seeds to your gloves to your potting soil and starter pots, as well a removable potting tray that can easily be washed, you'll be the picture of organizational perfection with this potting bench. It's also crafted from sustainably-harvested white cedar, and since it has two wheeled feet, you can cart this bench wherever it needs to go. Hmm . . . I might just have to add this to my wedding registry.

Pulitzer Prize winner Sheri Fink's landmark investigation of patient deaths at a New Orleans hospital ravaged by
Hurricane Katrina – and her suspenseful portrayal of the quest for truth and justice
In the tradition of the best investigative journalism, physician and reporter Sheri Fink reconstructs 5 days at Memorial
Medical Center and draws the reader into the lives of those who struggled mightily to survive and to maintain life amid
After Katrina struck and the floodwaters rose, the power failed, and the heat climbed, exhausted caregivers chose to
designate certain patients last for rescue. Months later, several health professionals faced criminal allegations that
they deliberately injected numerous patients with drugs to hasten their deaths.
Five Days at Memorial, the culmination of six years of reporting, unspools the mystery of what happened in those days,
bringing the reader into a hospital fighting for its life and into a conversation about the most terrifying form of
health care rationing.
In a voice at once involving and fair, masterful and intimate, Fink exposes the hidden dilemmas of end-of-life care and
reveals just how ill-prepared we are in America for the impact of large-scale disasters—and how we can do better. A
remarkable book, engrossing from start to finish, Five Days at Memorial radically transforms your understanding of human
nature in crisis.

SARASOTA, Fla. -- In just two months, the new Mall at University Town Center will open, and two local businesses will be setting up shop at UTC to be among some of the most the well-known brands in retail.
At 24 years old, Sarasota High graduate Jackie Zumba opened her first fashion boutique in downtown. It was just the start of her vision to own boutiques throughout the U.S. "From the day I opened this one, I always knew that i wanted to have multiple stores. I just didn't think it would happen so quickly."
Three years later, Jackie's moving her store to the new luxury Mall at University Town Center and opening a second boutique in St. Petersburg.
She credits much of her success to customer loyalty and the opportunities available to women on the Suncoast. "There is more opportunity here in Sarasota for women than there is in other places. I mean just myself, you know, being proof of that. We've been able to grow and expand. And people really support the fact that I'm a 27 year old girl, doing this, trying to build it and make a good life for my family," says Zumba.
Also three years ago, a 23-year-old Sarasota native decided to put his passion for baking to good use and opened Sweet Doctors, a cupcake and cake ball shop tucked away in a small shopping center on U.S. 41. "We feel like a lot of people still don't know who we are, so in the new mall we figure we'll bring our brand out there, get the people to try the stuff," says owner Michael Stinson.
The new Sweet Doctors will have a prime spot next to Macy's in the new mall.
But while Sweet Doctor will keep their south Sarasota location, Jackie Z Style Co. is ending their lease downtown. A major reason being the effect the new mall may have on current Sarasota shopping destinations. "We had been talking about the fact that this new mall, we think it's really going to slow down the foot traffic down here," says Zumba.
The two new stores will be open in the new mall during its grand opening on October 16th.

I wish I had become more involved in genealogy when I was your age. Younger researchers frequently have more commitments (school, work, significant others, children and social life) then those of us in the retirement years and that was my problem. Learn all you can now.
Three technologies that I have found helpful are Facebook, Blogger (ok there are others but parallelism is important) and Twitter. Many respected researchers post in Facebook. It's also a way to become more connected with the community and to hear about what is happening when it happens. As you respond to posts or post your own, others will get to know you. Having a blog can also serve this function. Twitter can get intrusive but can also be fun.
There are many of you out there. Welcome.

If You Have Blue-and-White China…
Create French-country enchantment, pairing casual glasses with fancy dishes around a glitzy centerpiece. Alternating two complementary china patterns promotes a loose but still pulled-together vibe. A nubby linen cloth in chocolate brown is unexpected against fine china and feels relaxed—no one has to worry about spilling gravy. Soft napkins (they almost look like chambray) host everyday stainless flatware. Goblets are chunky and homey, making this setup sweet and inviting, and not the least bit intimidating. And gold-leaf fruit inspires oohs and aahs.
How to Gild Fruit
1. Clean and dry fruit. If you're using fresh fruit, the firmer the better. You can get the same look with fake fruit, if you want it to last.
2. With a disposable paintbrush, apply a thin, even coat of water-based gilding adhesive like Rolco Aquasize ($16, freestylephoto.biz). Let dry until tacky (about 15 minutes).
3. Press sheets of faux gold leaf (available at crafts stores) onto the fruit with a soft cotton cloth. Overlap sheets slightly, and remove any loose pieces.
4. To give the fruit an antiqued look, use another soft cotton cloth to apply brown or black shoe polish. Buff to a high shine.
To buy: Taste Blue Flat dinner plates by Reichenbach, $125 each (hatch marks) and $145 each (blue fade), 888-535-6590; Taste Blue oval platter, $295, tabulatua.com; and Taste Blue Candlestick bowl, $50: tabulatua.com. Reed & Barton flatware. Festival dinner napkins (similar to those shown), $55 for four, sferra.com. Pottery Barn water goblets. Bess wineglasses, $55 each, williamyeowardcrystal.com for stores.

Uruguay coach's wife in acid attack
The wife of Uruguay's football coach was covered with acid in a mystery attack near her home in Montevideo.
Silvia Martinez, the 61-year-old wife of Oscar Tabarez, was walking home through the city's Carrasco district on Saturday afternoon when the attack happened. A motorbike came speeding up to her, slowed down to allow the pillion passenger to throw what police described as a "corrosive liquid" over her, then sped away.
Martinez ran back home where Tabarez called an ambulance. She was admitted to hospital with burns to 25 per cent of her body, including her face and arms.
Tabarez, who led fourth-ranked Uruguay to the World Cup semi-finals last year, reported the attack to the police, but the motive remains unknown - though Martinez had previously complained about receiving death threats.
"They didn't steal anything. They threw the liquid while slowing down and then sped off," said Montevideo police spokesman Jose Luis Rondan. "They didn't shove her, or insult her, nothing."

Avon and Somerset police have released a series of CCTV images to the public to help them catch a man who spat on a woman in Bristol.
The victim, a 36-year-old Muslim woman, was walking through Cabot Circus at about 8.40pm on Monday, July 21, when the man spat at her and verbally abused her.
Investigating officer PC Hannah King said: "We are issuing several images of a man we want to speak to about this incident, which we are treating as a hate crime.
"The victim was left shaken and distressed by the ordeal and we hope by releasing these images, someone will come forward with information which will help us identify who this man is."
If you have any information about the incident, or recognise the man in the images, please contact PC Hannah King by calling 101 and quote reference 74214/14.

Gulf disaster could lead to more limited supply of oil
The oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico could prove to be a "supply-side game changer" by restricting deep-sea drilling, delaying projects and boosting costs, in turn curtailing supplies, the International Energy Agency warned in a new report today. The adviser to almost 30 countries said in its Oil Market Report that projects representing between 100,000 and 300,000 barrels a day could be delayed over five years if there is a lengthy moratorium on new projects. "Costs are going to go up, projects are going to be delayed and some sort of regulatory overhaul is likely in the United States in the aftermath of this terrible accident," David Fyfe, the chief of the agency's oil industry and markets division, told Reuters television.
BP bloodied but unbowed
The empire that once was is striking back. BP PLC , one of the giants of the energy industry and a company steeped in more than a century of history, suffered another rout on overseas markets today, though it saw a sharp rebound in New York. Pressure continues to build on BP by the day over the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico from the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in April. The company is being held to account by the U.S. government and markets don't like what they see, wiping billions from its market value. There is also pressure on the company to suspend its dividend as it faces mounting costs, which now stand at $1.43-billion (U.S.).
BP responded to market pressure in a statement this morning: "BP faces this situation as a strong company. In March, we indicated that the company's cash inflows and outflows were balanced at an oil price of around $60/barrel. This was before the costs of the incident." The company added that it has "significant capacity and flexibility in dealing with the cost of responding to the incident, the environmental remediation and the payment of legitimate claims."
And in a memo to employees, The Globe and Mail's European correspondent Eric Reguly reports, chief executive officer Tony Hayward noted the "undeniably difficult times" but said that "we are in this for the long run - we will do the right thing in our response, and we will emerge a stronger and safer company when we come through the other side."

Soros sees Act II
Renowned investor George Soros says Europe's financial troubles means the world has "just entered Act II" of the financial crisis. "The collapse of the financial system as we know it is real, and the crisis is far from over," Mr. Soros told a conference in Vienna, according to Bloomberg News. "... When the financial markets started losing confidence in the credibility of sovereign debt, Greece and the euro have taken centre stage, but the effects are liable to be felt worldwide."
Markets, dollar rally
The markets didn't necessarily agree with Mr. Soros today, though investors have certainly had bouts of fear related to Europe's debt crisis. Today, global markets rallied on fresh signs that the economic recovery continues apace. Numbers from the United States, Japan, China and Australia all pointed to a rebounding economy. In the U.S., new claims for jobless benefits dipped, though still showing a labour market in crisis, while Chinese trade numbers showed the world's economic engine is not showing signs of slowing. Japan's freshest reading of economic growth, meanwhile, showed GDP expanded at a 5-per-cent annualized pace in the first quarter.
As expected, the Bank of England and the European Central Bank held interest rates steady.
The Canadian dollar also surged, jumping more than 1.3 cents to pop above 97 cents U.S., though it later dipped below that mark. And strategists at BNP Paribas advised investors to buy into the loonie given the country's better prospects. "The divergence between the recovering Canadian economy and [European monetary union]" which needs a weaker currency to ensure fiscal sustainability, will only increase going forward," they wrote.Report Typo/Error
