by Vaughn Ohlman from True Love Doesn't Wait - Raising a Son to be MarriedEditor's note: Would it not be a better thing for society in general if we all raised our sons to be well rounded individuals ready to contribute to society and life on this planet instead of raising them to marry and start spewing out children immediately? Whatever happened to helping your son mature, settle into a means to support himself, and eventually a family, ensure he's educated, knows how to take care of himself, instead of having him marry right out of the family home with zero life experience? Going from control by mommy and daddy to a marriage that daddy oversees with no personal autonomy? Learning … [Read more...]
Quoting Quiverfull: Make Cookies & Don't Stress Out Your Husband By Making Him Do Things
by Todd & Jessica Smartt from Smartter Each Day - 10 Things A Man Needs To Be HappyEditor's note: On the surface this sounds sort of sweet and charming, but it's the essence of what a patriarchal marriage looks like. Man works and uses his free time to go fishing and gets enough alone time not to be stressed out by the kids while the little woman makes sure there are meals, cookies, a clean house and kids trained enough not to stress poor poor Daddy out. This is what Christian Complementarianism looks like. … [Read more...]
Quoting Quiverfull: Feminism is the New 'Goliath'?
by Bethany Baird of Girl Defined - Feminism is Laughing at Our GodEditor's note: Have you ever noticed it is always the most harshly repressed women that do not want any women to have free agency or basic rights? This is a good example of that strange lack of self awareness in the more repressive forms of Quiverfull Christianity. Which is especially strange considering Jesus treated women as equals in the New Testament. How can they claim to be 'following Christ' when they are clearly in direct opposition to his actions? … [Read more...]
Quoting Quiverfull: Part 2 – Marriage is the Best Context For Human Development?
by Michael Pearl of No Greater Joy - Marriage is God's Finishing SchoolEditor's note: While I think it's a given that marriage does force you to mature and develop in ways you might not have as a single person it's unlikely that Michael Pearl and most everyone else have ideas even in the same wheelhouse about marriage. Does anyone really go into their marriage thinking that they will completely change everything about their spouse? Your thoughts? … [Read more...]
Quoting Quiverfull: Parents Need To Stop Minnesota From Ending Gender Distinctions In School Sports?
from Ladies Against Feminism - What's a Social Engineer to do When Parents Get in the Way? and the source piece they are citing from The Federalist - Minnesota Plans To Eliminate Gender Distinctions For High School SportsThe ladies of Ladies Against Feminism were largely silent during the month of November except for a few posts about stylish modest clothing. Too bad they aren't quiet now because they're joining in the gay fear mongering with Steven Anderson and the Duggars. Nothing like a little old-fashioned fear mongering along the lines of Michelle Duggar's trans-phobic robo calls. Ladies Against Feminism is freaking out over the same thing that Michelle Duggar was, the possibility … [Read more...]
Preparing To Be A Help Meet: Three Types of Woman Part 4
by Mel cross posted from her blog When Cows and Kids CollideNow, Debi moves on to the "Go-to Gal" which is supposed to be the female version of the King. "The Go-to GalMy son's wife, Zephyr, is a Go-to Gal, similar to the King type. That is not to say she is overtly bossy; she knows her place as a wife. But she is strong, capable, and gives a sense of taking care of the greater number of people. Go-to Gals ooze with confidence, have strong opinions, and do well organizing people. These types often have a queenly presence. Beware: Girls that are dominant can easily become Grabbers." Where does Debi's obsession with serving the "greater number" of people come from? I find that a str … [Read more...]

"Thus Male Headship" – Christianity and Gender Essentialism
by Kristen Rosser cross posted from her blog Wordgazer's WordsMy last two posts have involved the use of sociological studies by Christians, in support of the doctrine of male headship, known in its harsher and gentler forms, respectively, as "Christian patriarchy" or "complementarianism." Using science as a support for our premises is very characteristic of the culture of Western thought in which most of us have been steeped since birth. And of course, rebutting or debunking the science or scientific methodology behind premises we disagree with, comes from the same basic mindset.The problem, as I mentioned in my last post, is when we pounce on evidence that seems to support our own pos … [Read more...]
"Men Need Respect, Women Need Love" – Really?
by Kristen Rosser cross posted from her blog Wordgazer's WordsAn anonymous commenter on my last blog post told me this: God, in His wisdom, made man the head of the union between man and his wife. He has created a desire in the woman to be loved, and in the man to be respected, and there is no amount of social re-engineering that can change that. This seems to me to be a good opportunity to address the whole love-vs-respect idea that most male-headship proponents espouse. Where does this idea come from, that God made women to need love more than respect, and men to need respect more than love-- and that this is a basis for belief in male headship?The chief source of this idea … [Read more...]
News: Mark Driscoll – Too Rude and Brash or Guilty of Something Much Worse?
I'm sure many of you here have been keeping abreast of the hot water that Mark Driscoll keeps finding himself in. Charges of plagiarism, foul language, total control over his followers, and appropriating church funds for usages not for the church among other charges.The controversies that Mars Hill pastor Driscoll is embroiled in have become so awful that not only has he been removed from the Acts 29 ministry and Lifeway Christian store pulled all of his books from their shelves but now many are calling for him to step down from the pulpit. Former members of Mars Hill have ramped up their cries for him to leave Mars Hill leadership.Driscoll has been one of the leading voices pushing … [Read more...]

Corpus black cotton v-neck pocket front cardigan
I love cardigans, and as summer draws to a close I'm already looking forward to my winter wardrobe. This cardigan has those geezer pockets more often found on heavier cable-knit sweaters on the front, a detail that adds maturity while still looking sharp. This one is light enough to be layered, but warm enough for the Southern California fall and winter. YMMV if you live somewhere that actually gets cold.


text: Last week I get a Toro snowthower come in with a no start problem. After going through it only thing I find wrong is, no spark. Put the coil on yesterday, button it all back up and nothing...no spark. Double and triple check everything and still no spark. Checked the magnets on the flywheel, very strong. Disconnect all the wiring , even the wire coming off the coil. Nothing.....So now I'm wondering if the new coil is defective ? Is there a way to test the coil and what I need to do it with ? B&S 190402 272001 830520 Coil 398811 024847 828061 Just wondering if this engine had points and it was switched over at some point ? Thanks

The company said the base station has the largest capacity of any LTE micro base station at 150Mbps with 2X10W transmit power and 2T4R modulation for a large footprint. ZTE said that the BS8920 also offers significantly lower total cost of ownership due to reduced hardware, power consumption and deployment costs. The micro base station is aimed at the growing market for urban and indoor hotspot coverage. It can reduce hardware costs by up to 50% and cut deployment costs by 30% compared with other distributed base stations, ZTE claimed.In a separate development, ZTE announced that it has completed the industry's first interoperability test between TD-LTE terminals and non-LTE 2G/3G networks including GSM, UMTS and CDMA EV-DO systems.'The test shows that devices for TD-LTE networks are close to market availability and that ZTE's extensive TS-LTE expertise ensures that our existing 2G and 3G networks are able to handle traffic from TD devices,' said Wang Shouchen, general manager of ZTE TD products.Wireless magazineLeave a CommentPlease write code to prove you're humanMore on...

To see him at the podium Tuesday at the news conference that officially introduced him as the most expensive centerpiece of the Los Angeles Dodgers' offseason spending spree was to miss the point. The dollars that Zack Greinke just pried away from the Dodgers should not be paramount in this story.
Yes, his six-year, $147-million contract made him the highest paid righthander in the history of baseball. And sure, 55 years after leaving Brooklyn, a sort of psychic loop seems to have closed for the Dodgers during the $600 million overall binge they've been on since ownership changed hands: It feels like they've finally returned to their New York roots, only this time as the Yankees of the West.
But that's still not the only story here. To say only that buries the most notable news about where Greinke finds himself now. The fact that he was confident enough to tweak Stan Kasten, one of his new bosses, at the news conference said a lot more.
Remember how as recently as last year there were still whispers were that there was no way Greinke could go to a big market like Los Angeles and thrive? Even at his news conference Tuesday, the reason for those doubts -- the fact that Greinke takes medication for the belatedly diagnosed social anxiety disorder and depression that nearly ended his career -- was hovering in the room. They finally surfaced when Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said he hadn't anticipated that Greinke would show up for his free-agent talk with team management with only his wife, Emily, in tow. No agent. No mouthpiece? Not a single wingman to make sure nothing went awry?
How many times had that ever happened to Colletti in such negotiations before?
"I can't remember one," he said.
If arriving alone was intended as a negotiating strategy, it was a masterstroke by Greinke and his agent, Casey Close. In his three hours of meetings with Colletti, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly and part-owners Magic Johnson and Kasten, Greinke came across as a man with so much confidence he has his disorder under control, and that he was willing to trust himself rather than some surrogates to prove he could be trusted with that historically rich contract he later signed.
Nobody in baseball is likely to tell you Greinke is the absolute best pitcher in the game. He was just the best available free agent pitcher this offseason.
By the time he arrived at their offices, the Dodgers still seemed to be looking for a sign that they weren't just seeing what they wanted to see after Milwaukee traded him to the Angels last season and, in his first big market go-around, he went 5-0 with a 2.04 ERA in his final eight starts during the Angels' playoff push. The Dodgers wanted to feel reassured they were getting the real deal: a 29-year-old pitcher in the prime of his career with the mindset, not just arsenal of pitches, to pair up with fellow Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw.
Colletti imagines them as a sort of updated version of the Randy Johnson-Curt Schilling lefty/righty duo that led Arizona to the World Series success the Dodgers are chasing.
So how did Greinke come across?
"It was probably the best free-agent meeting I've had in decades of doing this -- it was just pure," Colletti said Tuesday. "He was stunning.
"When he left that day, we all looked at each other and said: 'We've got to figure out a way to get this kid here.' "
This is a long way from 2006 when Greinke, then just four years removed from high school, nearly quit the game because of his still-undiagnosed condition. He has frequently said he "hated" baseball then. He felt depressed about merely going to the ballpark and found it painful to have to interact with his new teammates. One residue of his anxiety disorder is workaday social conventions the rest of us might take for granted -- idle chitchat, conversations that fill dead time in the clubhouse, the team's postgame caravans to dinner or a bar -- all left Greinke feeling anywhere from exhausted to disinterested to "annoyed," a description he uses a lot. Quite often, even now, he'll startle people by bluntly letting them know exactly what he feels.
On top of all that, Greinke was an accidental pitcher who was rushed to the big leagues. He really dreamed of being a shortstop and didn't seriously try pitching until his senior year of high school in Apopka, Fla. But he was so good so fast, and Kansas City made him the sixth overall pick in the 2002 draft after Tampa Bay took B.J. Upton, the other player the Royals were smitten with.
Greinke got his first taste of the majors by 2004, and looked like he could be the rising star of the Royals' rotation in 2005. But he was just 21. He wasn't pitching well. He was still feeling depressed and anxious, and though he often hid it well, that was draining, too. Is there anything in the world more exhausting than having to pretend you're someone you're not?
"People take their own interpretation of what would make me comfortable and what wouldn't, and that's not necessarily true," Greinke told an MLB.com reporter at his Dodgers news conference Tuesday. "This [attention] doesn't bother me. What bothers me is one at a time, and answering the same questions over again. The answers are just going to get worse each time you ask it."
It all caved in on Greinke at spring training in 2006. He had a bad bullpen throwing session one day, and when he came back for his next bullpen, all the feelings he had been tamping down finally came out. He started throwing hard, then harder, then harder yet, in sort of a blind rage that seemed so over the top that his catcher, John Buck, stopped everything. Manager Buddy Bell was quickly called. Then general manager Allard Baird, too.
Greinke broke down in a meeting with the two men. The date was Feb. 25, 2006, and something life-altering happened for him: Rather than have all the insensitive things that sometimes get said in sports thrown at him -- suck it up, pull yourself together, for God's sake, show a little spine, kid -- Baird and Bell told Greinke to take some time off. Seek help. See what he found out.
That's how Greinke came to be diagnosed. That's how he started this long climb back -- and then up. That's how he saved his career.
He returned to the Royals briefly in 2006 as a reliever (also his role for much of 2007). By 2008, he was a fixture in the rotation again. The next offseason he developed a changeup to offset his 95 mph fastball and devastating slider. He flummoxed hitters so much in 2009 that he rang up an American League-best ERA of 2.16 and finished 16-8 and made the All-Star team. To his astonishment, he also won the Cy Young Award in a landslide over runner-up Felix Hernandez, though Hernandez had three more wins.
Medication that Greinke takes helped make all of that doable. But so did his toughness and an epiphany he had back then when he contemplated quitting.
"I just want to make this clear -- I can't live without baseball," Greinke said when he returned to the Royals.
Looking forward now to Greinke's stay with the Dodgers, it can't hurt that Los Angeles bench coach Trey Hillman was Greinke's manager the season he won that Cy Young in Kansas City. If Greinke still comes across as a mixed bag to teammates -- aloof or abrupt one minute, enthusiastically willing to shoot the breeze about how he uses sophisticated sabermetrics to inform his pitching approach the next -- Hillman is someone who can put it in perspective.
In Kansas City, as one nod to Greinke's condition, he and Greinke used to have an agreement that they would speak only every three or four days. Hillman was astute enough to let Greinke be the only one to break the bargain by talking more. And he was thrilled when the kid did it on his own.
So it looks like yet another good sign of how far Greinke has come that after the Dodgers introduced him Tuesday and he began to take questions about why he chose the Dodgers over Texas, he made a crack about his new boss, Kasten, that also revolved around talking extra long.
"I don't want to make his head too big, but I thought Stan Kasten was like, the smartest guy I've ever talked to," Greinke volunteered with a laugh.
The TV cameras cut to Colletti and Magic just in time to catch how their eyes widened in surprise -- and then how they all broke up in shoulder-shaking laughter.
Kasten, whose affectionate nickname among the L.A. press is "Blowhard," would not seem to be the obvious choice to hit it off with Greinke.
Speaking to reporters later, Greinke answered a follow-up question about the Kasten remark with another allusion to his social anxiety disorder.
"Maybe I just haven't met a lot of people," Greinke joked, smiling again.
Perfect, right?
The Dodgers should feel good about the man they just signed.
The loneliest job in baseball is being on the mound and knowing a game, a pennant, a World Series can hinge on every ball that you throw. And more than ever, Zack Greinke looks like a pitcher in command of himself, not just all those pitches he throws.

Black History
Students of Black History studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! Black History textbooks – for example Lincoln: How Abraham Lincoln Ended Slavery in America: A Companion Book for Young Readers to the Steven Spielberg Film by [Harold Holzer], and Gettysburg (Landmark Books) by [MacKinlay Kantor] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Black History is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Black History books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Black History classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

New Trick
Bali likes to hang out on the dining-room table while Gary and I eat dinner. Sometimes he tries to mooch food, but I really think he mainly does it for the company. He always wants to be where we are. The cats are very different that way; Figaro demands an intense lap session every day or two, but otherwise prefers his space. (And yes, I know, we're very indulgent to allow Bali on the table; if you disapprove, you don't have to eat at our house, but then you'll miss Gary's wonderful cooking.)
Tonight he was kind of pacing around at the far end of the table. "Bali," I said, "lie down!"
To my amazement, he did.
A few minutes later, after he'd gotten up again, I gave the same command, and again he obeyed it.
Of course, since he's a cat, he only obeyed because he felt like it. Still, he understood what I wanted. (Naturally, I praised him lavishly for his intelligence.) This just goes to prove that he's still our puppy-cat.
He's going to be distraught when we're gone next week, poor baby. But I know our cat-sitter will spoil him rotten.

What a smart cat!ReplyDelete
Wtg, Bali! Yes, cats are so smart. When I was a kid and had a siamese he learned (at age 15) that "double knit" meant that he couldn't sit on Dad's lab and be backscratched. He proved this by freezing mid step into Dad's lap when Dad asked Mom if the pants were double knit. Aren't kitties wonderful! :-)ReplyDelete

Newspapers In A Museum?
The Rocky Mountain News closed shop. The LA Times is shrinking as we speak. The only paper that seems to be holding its own is the Wall Street Journal. Guess we need the Journal to keep reminding us about our sinking economy.

OctoMom's PR Firm Resigns
Guess Nadya Suleman will have to represent herself, which means she will be out of the spotlight. We all are winners.

OctoMom Defies Media Traditions
But surprisingly, the media have taken a hard line position on the story. Who is going to pay the bills has been a huge story, and there haven't been many, if any, cuddly stories on the babies.
Kudos to the LA Times for actually cutting loose some investigative reporters and doing their job.
When A PR Firm Becomes The Story
That was before the world heard the details.
By all accounts, OctoMom has turned into a PR nightmare for Killeen Furtney Group. The more they do, the more the press and public turn against them and their client. What Killeen Furtney Group probably didn't realize was that OctoMom would become the poster child for everything wrong with the California economy. Not only has her giving birth to eight more kids come into scrutiny, the fact that California taxpayers will be footing the bill has made much of the public rage.
All PR firms like high profile clients. They are fun, exciting and often lucrative. But in this case, I bet Killeen Furtney Group would like to turn back the clock when they signed OctoMom.

When our leaders don't have a clue
As I watched the former Senator turned most powerful man in the world passionately talk about his $800 billion plus bill, I couldn't help but feel that he, nor anyone at the White House or Congress, has a clue how to counter our free falling economy. They are doing something, but do you think they really have a clue whether it will work, or is it more a PR move to make us all think it will work.
By the same token, elections were held today in Israel for the next government. As of this writing, centrist Kadima party candidate Tzipi Livni is edging past Bibi Natenyahu, the favorite. Bibi was prime minister once before and Tzipi has been in the current government for a number of years. Both talk about how they will being peace to Israel. Do you believe either knows?
Leaders need to make their flock feel good. Too bad it is more PR than substance.

Mom of 14 Hires PR Firm
Mother Nadya Suleman reportedly hired publicists Michael Furtney and Joann Killeen to field media inquiries and offers.
My sense is they are doing it for the PR themselves and are spinning the story to make Suleman the most famous and wonderful mom in the world. But they will have their work cut out for them as many reporters openly wonder how the mother of 14 can raise all those kids, especially since she has been living on workers comp for the past 10 years.
Stay tuned.
SuperGraphics Overtake L.A.
Companies are taking ordinary office buildings and turning them into super advertisements by placing huge ads on them. One building even covered up the windows with a super ad for Tropicana, much to the dismay of tenants.
I support advertising. It is my business. But there is a limit. When companies lease space, they should not have their windows covered up and offices darkened. There is something wrong with that.
On the other hand, the supergraphics bring building owners incredible sums of money. So for some they would rather turn their buildings into an ad than have tenants, and some indeed are telling tenants to take a hike if they don't like it.
Obama Puts Worst Foot Forward
First Richardson drops out because of shady bond deals in Arizona. Then Geithner reveals he oops forgot to pay his taxes, but coughed up the money and all is forgiven. Now Daschle seems to have the same problem with tax amnesia and has dropped out.
Yesterday the president sat down with five networks to say he "screwed up." A brilliant PR move on his part, admitting he was wrong and promising to set things right. Other presidents would have made excuses and stonewalled.
Regardless of what you think of Obama, he has a good sense of portraying an honest and decent image -- until the next screw up at least.

What Voters Really Want
But presidents are not selected by committees, they are voted in by the American public, and the American public is not as discerning as a committee of professionals.
We as Americans often vote charm, charisma, looks and personality over intellect, experience and values. That's why people like George Bush (the father) who was perhaps the most qualified person to assume the presidency, gets booted out of office by a charismatic Governor of one of the poorest states in the country. That's why a good-looking upstart like John Kennedy could beat incumbent vice-president Richard Nixon.
It's not about experience, talent, intellect or ability.
We are a nation of starry-eyed celebrity watchers. Our heroes are sports figures, movie stars, recording artists and the super-rich. We don't care for what a person has accomplished, rather, we care how someone looks on camera.
And that's why we always get what we deserve.

CandyKirby.com Debuts
If you like funny, you got to read CandyKirby.com
I am excited to announce the debut of my (sorta) new celebrity and pop culture Web site, CandyKirby.com, which takes the place of the now-defunct Holy Candy and Circus Hour. (R.I.P.)
Clearly, I commit to blogs like Clooney commits to women.
However, CandyKirby.com, which is undergoing a style makeover in a couple of weeks, is now my home for good. For those who are wondering, I didn't return to Holy Candy because I'm expanding my creative wings beyond the "altar of the superficial." So now in additon to the daily celebrity craziness, I'm also writing about wacky news (such as porn camp and Hello Kitty tombstones), live blogging TV shows (like "Talk Sex with Sue Johanson") and life in Los Angeles.
And I hope that, as someone who has previously visited Holy Candy, you'll pull up a chair and join me for the fun. Because just as I don't like drinking alone (but I will), I don't like blogging alone (but I will... while drowning my loneliness with margaritas).
With fondness and laughter,
The Revolving Door At The LA Times Keeps Turning
L.A. Times editor Russ Stanton takes great pains in his memo to make it sound like current managing editor John Arthur will still have a crucial post, but the real winner is new managing editor Davan Maharaj. He is the current business editor (succeeding Stanton) and is seen inside as part of Stanton's team — "the titan from Trinidad," Stanton calls him. Arthur got his post under the old Jim O'Shea regime — and not that long ago — and was a rival for the job that Stanton got. Memo follows, as posted on the LAT website. (Story on the Times site.) Separately: Rebecca Trounson is the new higher education editor in Metro, and Eryn Brown takes over as letters editor on the opinion staff.
If You Want A Boy, Eat Tons Of Cheeseburgers, I Guess
How much a mother eats at the time of conception may influence whether she gives birth to a boy or a girl, a new report shows.
The report, from researchers at Oxford and the University of Exeter in England, is said to be the first evidence that a child's sex is associated with a mother's diet. Although sex is genetically determined by whether sperm from the father supplies an X or Y chromosome, it appears that a mother's body can favor the successful development of a male or female
Only Someone From Britian Would Use the Word Imprudent
LONDON (AFP) — A British foreign minister said Wednesday that US Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton's threat to "totally obliterate" Iran if it attacked Israel with nuclear weapons was imprudent.
Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, a former United Nations deputy secretary-general and the foreign office minister responsible for Asia, questioned the comments by the New York senator, made in an interview broadcast Tuesday.
"While it is reasonable to warn Iran of the consequence of it continuing to develop nuclear weapons and what those real consequences bring to its security, it is not probably prudent... in today's world to threaten to obliterate any other country and in many cases civilians resident in such a country," he said.

Sam Zell Is Looking For Success In All The Wrong Places
From the day he bought Tribune, he rallied the troops by telling them that they are the future of the company, and the company's success will be their success. He then challenged and encouraged each and every employee to email him comments, complaints and ideas. His latest employee feel-good project is to set up an employee suggestion box. He recently touted the wonderful suggestions that have come from employees, many of which, he says, have been implemented.
If I worked there, the only suggestion I'd have is, "I suggest you don't fire me."
It appears the biggest project at the company, and certainly at the LA Times, is to get as many employees as possible, especially in the editorial department, out. Zell is offering a buy-out deal which is a nice corporate way of saying, "I'll pay you a bit more if you leave quietly, and leave now."
How can someone as successful as Sam Zell be so clueless?
I am an outsider and not privy to the long-range strategic planning of his empire. But doesn't he know that the problem is not with his product -- newspapers, TV and radio stations -- but rather that the market has and is changing? People are different today. People today don't want to read newspapers; they want their news electronically and they want it on video and they want it in 8 seconds or less.
This is tragic and doesn't speak well for our future, but reality is reality. Yes the LA Times and all major print media have websites and they are struggling to find a way to capture the young electronic news consumer. But hitting reporters and editors over the head isn't going to make more people read newspapers or watch the evening news. Reporters and editors report and edit. That's what they do. If they were corporate tycoons, reporters would be writing about them.
Zell, you should have the brilliant ideas. You were smart enough to buy Tribune with the employees' money. So now you want them to figure out how to make it profitable for you? That's your job. Let them do their's.
Stop with the emails and start figuring out your own business.

Construction Workers Beware
Two construction workers died and five were injured Tuesday when a seven-ton section of crane fell 30 stories onto a Miami home made famous by the film "There's Something About Mary."
Fire and rescue officials said the collapse occurred about 1:45 p.m. as a construction crew tried to lengthen the crane for work on a 46-story luxury high-rise overlooking Biscayne Bay. The 20-foot section dangled, witnesses said, before dropping through the roof of a Spanish-style home that the contractors used as an office.
A More Dangerous Job Than We Thought
The data was included in a study by police psychologists who are in the process of retooling the agency's suicide prevention program.
The report said 19 Los Angeles police officers killed themselves between 1998 and 2007, while only seven died in the line of duty during that time.

Subprime Pioneer Roland Arnall Dies as 68
Arnall gave me my first job while I was still in graduate school. He was both the most brilliant and brutal businessperson I have ever met. Working for him had to be 100 times worse than attending military boot camp. I lasted almost five years and learned more than any MBA program could teach me. But I also learned to treat people ethically and with kindness, something I saw lacking in Arnall.
Despite his cutthroat work ethic, Arnall was beyond generous. During his lifetime, he gave away literally tens of millions of dollars to worthy causes, usually with no fanfare. He also gave to individuals in need who found their way to his office and were never turned away empty handed.
Not surprisingly, every obituary of Arnall includes discussion of Ameriquest, his subprime mortgage company that was targeted several times by the U.S. government for unscrupulous lending practices, and fined to the tune of $325 million dollars. Most obits brushed over his philanthropy while focusing on his subprime industry involvement.
I knew Roland when he was a mere millionaire and not a billionaire. Back then, he lived very well being worth $300 million or so. But I guess it wasn't enough. He aspired to amass a true fortune of $1.5 billion and succeeded when he got involved in the sleazy subprime lending business.
As a result, his legacy is one of greed and not deed, despite all the good he did in his lifetime.
Was it worth it Roland?

Virus of Hatred Spreads Again
Hamas claimed responsibility Friday for a militant attack on a Jerusalem rabbinical seminary that killed eight Israelis.
A Hamas radio presenter said the group's military wing had "promised a jolting response" to this week's violence in the Gaza Strip in which more than 120 Palestinians were killed by the Israeli military, many of them in the northern Gaza town Jebaliya.
The radio referred to the Jerusalem attack as "the fruits of what happened in Jebaliya" and called on believers to "celebrate this victory against the brutal enemy."

News Releases Are Subject to Deceptive Advertising Laws
Colbert's letter to Blue Cross says the statements "appear intended to burnish the corporate image of Blue Cross of California, and of its insurance affiliate, in the eyes of consumers."
It advises Blue Cross that the California Supreme Court has held that "such statements are a form of commercial speech subject to the prohibitions against deceptive advertising" under two state laws.

What Job Is Villaraigosa Going For In A Clinton Administration? Cast Your Vote
ON THE ROAD AGAIN: Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa supports Sen. Hillary Clinton during a rally in Fort Worth, Texas. He has spent 18 of the last 65 days out of town campaigning for her.
For more than 2 1/2 years, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has been the public face of Los Angeles, appearing in one neighborhood after the next and often leading the nightly news.
But over the last two months, he has devoted noticeable time and energy to a cause outside the city. By today, the mayor will have spent 18 of the last 65 days on the road for presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) -- visiting Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and Texas as the primary election season has intensified.

Desperation Strikes Hillary's Campaign
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton met her match while appearing on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" to deliver the show's trademark opening line and provide an "editorial response" to a mock presidential debate.
During the opening sketch -- which featured SNL actors playing Clinton, rival candidate Barack Obama and the debate moderators -- Clinton complimented the performance of Amy Poehler, who regularly lampoons Clinton with her impersonation of the senator from New York.
Leave Israel Alone!
Strange Bedfellows
After meeting Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, right,
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, left,
visited with other Iraqi officials.
BAGHDAD (AP) — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Sunday his landmark visit to Iraq opened a new chapter in "brotherly" relations between the two countries, which were once bitter enemies.
Ahmadinejad is the first Iranian president to visit Iraq. He went from Baghdad's airport straight to a meeting with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, who gave him a red-carpet welcome. The two kissed four times on the cheek in the traditional fashion and a band played the two countries' national anthems.
Is Oscar On Life Support?
For years, the brahmins of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences have viewed the Oscarcast as a sacred tradition.
However, with viewership of the kudocast hitting an all-time low last week, it's clear that Oscar, now 80, is showing his age. Many members of the Academy -- even conservative types that aren't your typical squawkers -- are grumbling that it's time for a change.
With an average of 32 million viewers, the kudocast only barely topped the regular Tuesday airing of "American Idol," which reeled in 29 million. (Oscar's ratings are likely to inch up some next week when delayed viewing via DVRs is factored in by Nielsen.) In the demographic that matters most to advertisers, adults 18-49, "Idol" had the edge with an average of 14.7 million to Oscar's 14 million.
Life Is Not A Breeze For Local Journalists
I'm told by a staffer that the positions of publisher and managing editor were eliminated today at the Long Beach Press-Telegram, along with the copy desk and most of the production jobs. Those functions will now be handled at the Daily Breeze, located in Torrance.
Laid-off P-T production staffers were told they could apply for a fewer number jobs at the Breeze. Two reporters and a photographer had already resigned this week. Online reports in the District Weekly and LB Report, which together pretty much make a skeletal Singleton newspaper in Long Beach unnecessary.
You're Reading This, Aren't You
Leonard S. Riggio and wife
Leonard S. Riggio, the founder and chairman of Barnes & Noble, thinks that Steven P. Jobs is wrong, at least when it comes to the reading habits of Americans.
In January, Mr. Jobs, the chairman of Apple, declared that a new electronic book reader introduced by Amazon.com was unlikely to be a commercial success because of a fundamental problem. "It doesn't matter how good or bad the product is," Mr. Jobs said. "People don't read anymore."
In a telephone interview last week, Mr. Riggio — who has based a long and profitable career on the proposition that people love to read — said that Mr. Jobs's perception "is off by a lot."
While Mr. Riggio said he could not comment on Amazon's device, the Kindle, he said that at Barnes & Noble, "our business in general is fairly sound." And while the book industry as a whole is "fairly flattish" now, Mr. Riggio said, "it has had periods of flattish growth in the past."
"I'm still very optimistic," he added.

"We are running a new generation of centrifuges," said Javad Vaidi, deputy secretary of the Supreme National Security Council. Vaidi's announcement confirmed reports earlier this month that Iran is using centrifuges that can enrich uranium at more than twice the speed of the machines that now form the backbone of its illicit nuclear program.

Media Barred from Covering Rove Speech at Prep School
WALLINGFORD, Conn. - The media have been barred from covering a speech by former presidential adviser Karl Rove to students at a prestigious prep school on Monday.
Mary Verselli, spokeswoman for Choate Rosemary Hall, said Headmaster Edward Shanahan and Rove decided mutually to exclude the media. The prep school, which is the alma mater of President John F. Kennedy and two-time Democratic presidential nominee Adlai Stevenson, is limiting attendance to students and staff due to space restrictions in the auditorium, she said.

Ronnie Screwvala, owner of Pro Kabaddi League franchise U Mumba, supported the League taking place twice in a calendar year, saying it's the right way to promote the game.
"Kabaddi cannot become popular if we have a six-week event and then a break of 11 months. Now it's being held for six weeks with a gap of six months," said Screwvala.
Team captain Anup Kumar clarified his views on the league being held twice in a calendar year. "All I said was that kabaddi is a game in which injuries happen. But having two seasons is good for the game," said Kumar.

Always Free Shipping. No Minimum Order.
From Kelly at Delicious Reads: I'm a huge reader. Always have been. I grew up begging to go to the library instead of the pool and loved living a thousand different lives through the stories I read. Reading has become a passion of mine and when I got married and moved into our home 10 years ago I decided to start a book club to share my passion with others. I originally designed this t-shirt for my book club members as a fun and unique way to bring reading to life for people who think, "I don't have time to read", but recently I've been feeling it was time to expand my passion for literacy and reading beyond my book club. I've been looking into two different book programs and charities called "Milk and Bookies" and "Project Night Night." I'd love to find a way to donate to their great cause and share my love of books with those who may not have access to them.
This shirt was a finalist in our first annual Design the Good T-shirt design contest.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
For many couples, flowers play a big role in nuptials. Bridesmaids clutch bouquets as they walk down the aisle, while flower girls throw petals to the floor. Groomsmen, dads, moms and grandparents have boutonnieres pinned on their person. And, most importantly, the couple adorn themselves with flowers. If this plant plays an important role in your big day, you may want to incorporate it in as many details as you are able to. You can find Claire Pettibone wedding invitations with floral patterns to better fit your theme. How else can you use flowers?
Many brides and grooms use flowers to decorate their ceremony and reception venues. Centerpieces on the tables, garland around pews and even a floral archway are common enough decorations. You don't have to stop using blooming plants there.
If you really want to make a statement, you can create an entire wall of flowers. Putting this decorative wall behind the head table at your reception could be a classy way to draw even more attention to the front. A floral wall could also serve well as a backdrop for fun pictures.
Most guests expect to see flowers on tables, chairs and stands, but you can really surprise the crowd by hanging your flowers. You can use this trick for both indoor and outdoor weddings. Whether you hang floral strands from a big tree or the ceiling, the effect will likely be breathtaking.
As you plan your decorations, you can't forget about your wedding cake. Make your cake, or any other dessert, really standout by decorating it with the bloom of your choice. If using flowers to decorate your food makes you nervous, you can always simply put a bouquet on the dessert table.
Whether you want floral, pink, purple or blue stationery for your wedding day, you can customize your own enclosure and reception cards. Because of the customization possibilities available from Wedding Paper Divas, Claire Pettibone wedding invitations are a great choice for many bridal couples.
"Beautiful design! We love everything about this invitation. It fits our theme of "Backwoods Boy and a Fairy Tale Princess" The best part of this process was the free designer who edited our customization and made it perfect and the great email communication. Two thumbs up!"
"We fell in love with the design. The floral design was elegant and beautiful. The colors on the wedding invitations were soft. The foil design made the invitation more formal but not over the top. The quality of paper was perfect. The wedding invitation tells your guests what kind of wedding it will be. We were going for a garden themed wedding and the invitations totally met our expectations."
"I ordered the entire suite of this design. The paper was soft and had a great weight. I customized it so that it read on top " [My parents] invite you to the marriage of their daughter [My name] to [Grooms name]." Even though the template didn't allow me to change the plus sign between our names to "to", the design team followed my requests in the comment box to perfection. The colors were bright and beautiful, and in no way fuzzy or pixelated. They looked custom painted. All the texts that were "too big" the design team fixed so it looked perfect. Have recommended and will use again for a different occasion."
"Earthly paradise the design was so elegant and beautiful! I chose the light blue background and the colors were so beautiful .. I'm having a spring wedding and down to the colors and design was perfect! I chose the regular paper texture .. I didnt want the evelope with everything put into it cost more postsge anyway the regular is thick enough! Will be back for my thank you cards!"
"As soon as I saw this invite I fell in love with it but it would not let me order a sample of the wedding invite. So, I opted to order a sample of the same design in a thank you card. It was everything I expected and more! I ended up ordering the wedding invite on pearl paper and bronze envelopes... wow stunning, dreamy, ethereal :) perfect for my garden wedding!"

e-pal: Argentina
Connecting with teens around the world
Name Alexander Ezequiel Cardenas
Age 17
City Santiago del Estero
Star sign Scorpio
Argentina has a mix of weather - the south is very cold and the north is very hot. In my hometown, which is in northern Argentina, it can be around 40 to 50 degrees Celsius in the summer.
But unlike Hong Kong, Santiago del Estero is dry, so you don't sweat much. I study economics, philosophy, psychology, methodology of investigation, religion, physical education, Spanish literature, political sciences, French, Latin, Greek literature and global culture.
I spend about one and a half hours each day on my homework.
My first language is Spanish and I can also speak English, French, Arabic and Italian. Now, since I have joined the AFS exchange programme and live with my host family in Sha Tin, I can speak a little bit of Cantonese. I just started my studies at PLK Vicwood K. T. Chong Sixth Form College.
In Argentina, I have a great relationship with my classmates and teachers and I can share all sorts of things with them. I hope school life in Hong Kong will be as enjoyable.
I don't have to cook because my mum does it. But I clean and tidy the house and sometimes do the washing-up. I also have to look after my pets - I love animals, and I keep a lot of pet birds. My friends and I go to parties at each other's houses, or sometimes eat out at restaurants.
We like listening to music, eating, talking a lot and dancing.
I don't really follow fashion. I like casual wear, such as T-shirts, jeans, tennis shoes or sandals.
My idol is my father, because he taught me everything I know and the way I should deal with life.
I want to be a graduate in international relationships and travel around the world in the future. The most important festival in Argentina is Independence Day on July 9. We celebrate with ceremonies in parks and national buildings.
I had never been overseas before I came to Hong Kong.
I think it's a wonderful place, where you can find a great mix of east and west.

Radioactive Champagne in our future?
Champagne should be fizzy, not fissionable.
Champagne region, France
— Ahhh, a fine Champagne. A delicate nose. Full body. Great colour. And
that indescribable sensation when you raise your glass of having your
tongue tickled by …. TRITIUM???
Raise a toast to the French
nuclear industry, whose low-level radioactive waste is leaking into
groundwater less than 10 kilometres (6 miles) from the famous Champagne
at a radioactive waste dumpsite in Soulaine were reported by its
operator, ANDRA, to the French nuclear safety authority on May 24th,
2006. According to their report "the wall of a storage cell fissured"
while concrete was being added to a recent layer of waste.
in the 1980′s, ANDRA stated categorically that their dumpsite would not
release any radioactivity into the environment. But that was when they
were seeking planning permission. Today, the French nuclear authority
is saying "This event revealed a flaw in the conception of the storage
cells of the site."
waste dump, Centre Stockage l'Aube (CSA) in Soulaine, contains nuclear
waste both from France and abroad. More waste is trucked into the site
every week. Once full, the dumpsite will be one of the world's largest
with over 1 million cubic meters of waste, including plutonium.
research released last week showed levels of radioactivity leaking from
another dumpsite run by ANDRA in Normandy — at up to 90 times above
European safety limits. That waste has seeped into underground water
used by farmers, with contamination spreading into the countryside and
threatening dairy production.
The Champagne site will receive
a total of 4 thousand terabequerels of tritium — more than three times
the amount of tritium waste as the dumpsite in Normandy.
A nuclear waste crisis out of control
have been told for decades that nuclear dumpsites will not leak and
that the best standards are being applied. In reality the dumpsite in
Normandy is a disaster, and radioactivity is already leaking from the
dumpsite in Champagne," says Shaun Burnie, nuclear campaigner at
Greenpeace International. "The authorities know they have a problem in
Champagne already, with mistakes in the design. This is only the
beginning of the problem, the bigger picture is that France has a
nuclear waste crisis out of control that is threatening not only the
environment and public health but also the economy of the Champagne
In addition to the low and intermediate waste site in
Soulaine, a new high-level waste dumpsite is being planned in Bure –
also in the Champagne region — in which the most radioactive material
in France would be deposited. Plans to build a high level waste
facility in the Rhone Valley were scrapped a few years ago after strong
opposition by wine producers due to the threat to their vines and wine
"The Champagne producers are facing two nuclear time
bombs – one already leaking at Soulaine, and one planned at Bure. The
wine producers in the Rhone region stood up to the nuclear state in
France and won. The Champagne region needs to act fast before it's too
late," said Fred Marillier of Greenpeace France.
"The French
Government must stop this madness. The new facility must not accept any
more waste, and an immediate investigation launched into how to stop
further contamination of ground water."
1,200 tons each year and no place to go
having a nuclear waste crisis the French electricity providers
Electricite de France (EdF) are seeking approval to build a new reactor
at Flamanville, which will increase the amount of high-level waste.
EdF's nuclear reactors produce 1,200 tonnes of highly radioactive waste
every year. The waste expected from the new reactor would be the most
hazardous waste ever produced in a French nuclear power reactor.
France needs to end its love affair with nuclear power, and raise a glass to safe, clean, renewable energy.

|Mirumoto Akohime
|Sensei of the Victory of the Living Blade Dojo
Mirumoto Akohime was the sensei of the Victory of the Living Blade Dojo, but you would not think it to look at her. Akohime was short, stooped with limbs wizened with age. Despite her appearances she had lost little of the fire and strength of her youth. She spoke little of her past, but it was known that she was a skilled warrior, and fought at the Battle of Oblivion's Gate in 1133, and a dozen prominent battles since. She was always recognized for her bravery, but cared little for glory, and the knowledge that her sword seved justice was enough. This humility and skill made her Mirumoto Daimyo Mirumoto Uso's choice for the position as sensei of the dojo. [1]

Magellan Petroleum Corporation has concluded that the CO2-enhanced oil recovery ('CO2-EOR') pilot project at Poplar has been a technical success, and demonstrates that the CO2-EOR technique is a technically viable tertiary recovery method in the Charles formation at Poplar Dome. The Company reached this conclusion on the basis of the oil production response observed in, and other injection and pressure data gathered from, the Pilot.
CO2 injection into the Pilot's single injector well began in August 2014. In October, the Pilot's four producer wells were opened for production. Since then, oil production has increased in three of the four producer wells in response to CO2 injection, and the Company expects the fourth well will demonstrate an oil production response soon. The current run-rate of production from the three producing wells together is between 50 and 75 bopd and is expected to increase gradually through the summer.

2017 Cheiron Book Prize Citation: Susanna L. Blumenthal
Cheiron awards the 2017 Cheiron Book Prize to Susanna L. Blumenthal (Julius E. Davis Professor of Law and Associate Professor of History at the University of Minnesota) for Law and the Modern Mind: Consciousness and Responsibility in American Culture (Harvard University Press, 2016). Dr. Blumenthal's book contributes much to our understanding of the quandaries that lawyers and jurists faced and explored as they considered the appropriate legal relations between human activity and culpability, particularly over the course of the nineteenth century.
During the early years of the American republic, as the precedents following from inherited position fell away, jurists found themselves having to consider matters of standing, evidence, and responsibility in new ways. In doing so, they found that human subjectivity took on new consequences. Well into this process, Associate Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. wrote in 1894, "In a proper sense the state of a man's consciousness always is material to his liability." Relying on extensive knowledge of the primary sources (including routine civil and criminal cases), Blumenthal provides historians, psychologists, anthropologists, and other readers with an invigorated understanding of the emergence of refined notions of the individual (generally white men, at that time): they became singular legal persons, and there were circumstances by which such legal persons could be held culpable for their actions or culpability might be limited due to mental impairments of various sorts.
Blumenthal's prose is lucid and subtle. Her exposition is both magisterial and thought-provoking. For example, the historical examination of the jurisprudence of insanity illuminates contemporary attitudes toward 'others'—children, women, and slaves.
Members of the 2017 Cheiron Book Prize Committee: Jennifer Bazar, Elissa Rodkey, Gerald Sullivan (Chair), and Phyllis Wentworth.
The 2017 Cheiron Book Prize will be formally presented at the annual meeting of Cheiron, June 22-25, at Mississippi State University, Starkville.
Cheiron heartily thanks the Prize Committee and everyone who submitted books for consideration this year!
