Under Director Maria Rosa Menocal, the Center and its Fellows expand the humanities.
The Fellows start to amble in at 12:15. As they enter, their eyes flit between the lunch buffet (roast potatoes, sautéed green beans, lightly browned tilapia filets) and the Fellows who have already arrived. They assemble in groups of twos and threes, discussing their latest research and their classes. Michelle Addington from the School of Architecture tells Kishwar Rivzi from Art History about her recent trip to Cairo. They swap war stories about corrupt Egyptian developers and urban growth in the United Arab Emirates. Two yards away, Justin Zaremby, CC '03, LAW '10, Whitney Humanities Center veteran, expounds on the virtues of Directed Studies to Richard ("Rick," here) Prum, the MacArthur-winning ornithologist. Meanwhile, Maria Rosa Menocal, director of the WHC and Sterling Professor of the Humanities, flutters around the room, making sure everything—from the curtains to the salad dressing—looks perfect.
A few minutes later, Menocal gently prods everyone towards the food so proceedings can begin.
I fill my plate and grab a Mango Açai Honest Tea (produced, naturally, by a Yale alum), then sit down next to Zaremby and Rob Nelson, chair of the Art History Department. Others continue to trickle in and grab food.
"I just absolutely love these," Nelson gushes. "My Fellowship is now over, but I still come. Once you're a Fellow, you can come for life."
Is that Dean Miller sitting across from Prum? That's definitely WGSS professor Maria Trumpler next to Philosophy chair Michael Della Rocca.
Nelson is a helpful guide. "Sitting over there," he says, indicating the table nearest the buffet, "is Jonathan Spence, who is the expert on China. He's technically retired now, but he's giving the Jefferson Lectures in Washington this year."
"That's pretty much the most prestigious thing you can be asked to do in the Humanities," Zaremby explains.
Minutes later, Menocal stops by our table and tells us to go to the buffet to get coffee and lemon squares. "This is the most important part of the meeting," she says, walking to the next table.
"She doesn't want people getting up in the middle of a talk to get dessert. That's gauche," Nelson says.
With everyone caffeinated and sugared up, Sarah Weiss stands at the front of the room to discuss her research on the authenticity of music with these 40-odd academic luminaries—with the Whitney Humanities Center Fellows.
The Whitney Humanities Center was founded in 1981 under the directorship of Peter Brooks, longtime—and hugely influential—Sterling Professor of Comparative Literature, who now teaches at Princeton. In 1976, with money donated by the Whitney family for two residential colleges that never got built, the University purchased the Parish House of the Trinity Church on the Green. The building, located at 53 Wall St., was to combine under one roof several academic programs and groups—along with a new venue for academic discourse.
"There was a lot of talk about the need for such a thing," Brooks said. "Geoffrey Hartman, Sterling Professor of English, was part of a group who argued that Yale faculty did a very good job teaching students but didn't do a very good job teaching each other."
From the beginning, the core of the WHC was its fellowship program. Fellows were appointed by the President, working with Brooks, to two-year terms (there are now some one- and three- year terms as well; the fellows are also now appointed by an executive committee headed by Menocal rather than President Levin). The Fellows were to "talk about research work they were doing, but also problems in the humanities in general," Brooks said. Since the program began, they have met each week for lunch and a talk from among their ranks. They came from across the University, often from the humanities, but also from the social and hard sciences.
Brooks was the WHC's director for 10 years. The Center then went through a period of upheaval, going through two directors in five years. Brooks was brought back in for another five-year term in 1996. Once this elapsed, President Levin had to appoint a successor.
Menocal, who was then head of Special Programs in the Humanities—comprising Directed Studies and the Humanities major—quickly became the clear choice.
One of the first things Menocal did when she assumed the directorship in 2002 was change the food.
Norma Thompson, DUS of the Humanities program and Associate Director of the WHC, said that before, Fellowship lunches consisted of "cold cuts and white bread for people to make their own sandwiches. It was decidedly not what you want when you come for a special lunch."
Menocal, universally described as a great foodie, brought in caterers from outside the University to rectify the situation. "I am a great believer in the importance of food," Menocal said, "and it doesn't even have to cost more to serve something nice."
Menocal's culinary finesse indicates a broader quality she brings to the Whitney Humanities Center: a kind of rigorous inclusiveness that allows her to bring together exciting people and ideas from around the university. Whenever I mentioned her name, people raved about her warmth and energy. She has a miraculous flair for getting people on her side; somehow, she seems supportive and encouraging even when voicing harsh criticism.
"She's always on the lookout for somebody who might be in some small department, who actually has broad interdisciplinary reach, who should be brought into this community," Thompson said. "She's great that way, and is such a dramatic and strong presence at the Whitney that people are happy to be here."
But if Menocal is a social butterfly (and she is), she is also a formidable scholar. Since getting her PhD in Romance Philology ("which practically doesn't exist any more," she says) at Penn, where Menocal was also an undergraduate, she has published widely acclaimed books on Islamic Spain and the influence of Dante on Western literature, among others. In 2006, she was named a Sterling Professor, the highest honor the Yale can bestow on faculty.
For these reasons, in recent years, whenever there has been a vacancy in University leadership, her name has been floated as a potential candidate. But Menocal dismisses such talk.
She said, "I'm not interested. I really think this is the best job in the entire University."
Menocal's job wasn't always so nice. When she became director of the WHC, the building was in a state of disrepair. The ceilings leaked and the rooms looked dingy. The physical grounds began to be renovated in 2001. But what was going on inside was just as remarkable.
Menocal had two priorities: to strengthen the relationship between the WHC and the other programs housed within the building, and to make the WHC a vital force for undergraduate—not just faculty—education.
"It used to be that no undergraduate set foot in this building, unless they had to for some bizarre reason," she said.
In hopes of attracting more students, Menocal has made the WHC a space for art. There had always been events at the Whitney—talks, conferences, symposia—but few of them had undergraduate appeal. Under Menocal's directorship, the WHC has added a broad profile of arts events. Music at the Whitney, a concert series organized with the help of former JE master Richard Lalli, showcases classical musicians from the university and beyond. The walls of the first-floor Fellows Lounge act as an art gallery that was recently host to an exhibition of paintings by faculty members who are not known as artists.
Arguably the Center's most visible artistic endeavor is its film series. The WHC Auditorium long housed the only 35mm projector on campus (there's now a second, but it's in a much smaller room). In 2005, a group of students approached Menocal with the idea for a weekly film series. She was enthusiastic, and helped bankroll the program using her own discretionary funds as director. Cinema at the Whitney was born.
But according to Mark Bauer, who joined the WHC as an associate director three years ago to head the Center's arts programs, Cinema at the Whitney became increasingly problematic over time.
"There were just too few people involved in, kind of, every sense," he said. "They did wonderful programming, but it wasn't going to be viable, especially once the budget crunch hit."
The spring 2009 semester was the Cinema at the Whitney's last. This year, Bauer has worked with Ron Gregg, senior lecturer and programming director in Film Studies, to collaborate with students and faculty on short film series, in a model they are calling Films at the Whitney.
"When people want excellent 35mm projection and sound, this is the obvious place to come, and we're really interested in having a diversity of presenters," Bauer said.
Often, the shows the Whitney puts on—in film, music, and visual art—support programming going on at the Center and across the university. Susan Cahan, the new Associate Dean for the Arts, who will be a Whitney Fellow next year, praised such an approach.
"The way in which they've gone about coordinating their programs with curricular needs is very smart, very productive, and very exciting," she said. "The WHC is like a candy store for art."
While teaching Directed Studies (DS) in the '90s, Menocal had become close friends with Thompson and Jane Levin, GRD '75, senior lecturer in the Humanities. When Menocal became director, one of her mandates was to integrate the Humanities major and Directed Studies more closely with the WHC—and because she for several years kept her post as Director of Special Programs in the Humanities, Menocal was in an ideal position to do so. Knowing they would be key allies, Menocal asked Levin to be DUS for Directed Studies, and Thompson to be DUS of the Humanities program—and associate director of the Whitney.
With this kind of pseudo-interlocking directorate in place, Menocal also worked to integrate the programs physically. Thompson's office is right across the hall from Menocal's on the first floor of the WHC; Levin's is directly above that on the second floor. More crucial still was the decision to locate DS within the Whitney Humanities Center.
"It was very much Professor Menocal's vision that Directed Studies, as part of the Humanities department, would have a home in the WHC," Levin said.
Each of Directed Studies' three weekly lectures and the thrice-semesterly Class of 1937 Colloquia for DS are given in the WHC auditorium, and some DS sections take place in the building's basement classrooms. Many of its faculty have their offices in the Whitney Humanities Center.
After freshman year, some DS students—along with some students who didn't do DS—choose to continue their study of Western civilization in the Humanities major, an interdisciplinary program that affords students the freedom to take classes across departments to create a cohesive, individually tailored academic trajectory. Humanities majors take a few required classes, but most of the credits in their major come from classes offered in other departments. The only requirement? Thompson has to approve.
"So if you were doing something like the philosophical ideas of Dostoevsky," she said, "I might accept, for credit in the Humanities major, philosophy courses, as well as other literature courses, as well as history courses that might pertain."
Perhaps as a result of this kind of interdisciplinary thinking, the Humanities major has attracted more students as others—foreign languages, the Classics—have seen their numbers decline.
R. Howard Bloch, Sterling Professor of French and Director of the Humanities program, said students have come to expect the kind of interdisciplinary work the major tends to encourage.
"Capacious-minded students have always wanted to work in more than one field at once," he said.
This is difficult, he explained, in traditional departments because most faculty are locked into one area of specialty. "Universities are organized along department lines: appointments are usually made in specific departments, funding is allocated by departments, and so forth. And departments can get pretty territorial," he said. "Which is good! You get people who are extremely accomplished in their field."
The belief that divisional adherence breeds technical expertise has led some to see interdisciplinality and accomplishment as somehow opposed.
But Zaremby sees such an argument as a straw man. He said, "A good scholar is a good scholar. If it's not rigorous, that's the scholar's fault, not the fault of interdisciplinarity."
Few demonstrate this principle as well as Richard Prum, the MacArthur Fellow sitting across from Dean Miller at the Fellows' lunch.
At this point, Prum's research is well-known even outside the Ornithology community—he was on the team that discovered the intricacies of female duck genitalia and the one that revealed the 3-D image of a multi-colored dinosaur-bird. But he says that the multi-disciplinary interests he had early in his career, which contributed to the groundbreaking advances he's made recently, hurt him in the academic job market.
"Even within science, my interests have always been really diverse," he said. "Early on in my career, it was a real problem, because sometimes I felt I was too evolutionary for that behavioral job—and too behavioral for that systematics and museum job. It wasn't a good fit."
But in 2004, Prum found a good fit at Yale, when he joined the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department. And it was here that he did much of the work for which he is so highly acclaimed—and for which he won the 500,000 dollar MacArthur Fellowship, often referred to as the "Genius Grant."
He said being chosen as a MacArthur Fellow was rewarding partially because it meant that "all that diversity, all that breadth of interest turned out to be recognized, by this institution, in this really fortunate and unexpected way. So that was fantastic. The notion that somebody was looking at the big picture, and how it all added up, was really gratifying."
More recently, the work Prum did with sexual selection and co-evolution in ducks has led him to the field of aesthetics. Most biologists, he explained, see sexual selection as indicative of underlying processes of basic natural selection—so that the peahen chooses a peacock mate with a beautiful tail because such a tail indicates fitness. But with his new research, he is trying to argue there is some element of "mere beauty" to the tail. He is arguing (against mainstream biology) that there is an element of pure aesthetic even a process as brutal as natural selection.
This line of reasoning has led Prum to explore what humanists say about aesthetics. And it was this research that has brought him to the WHC. Last summer, he met Maria Rosa Menocal at an administrative meeting. Soon after, the two shared a meal, and Menocal was so interested by the interdisciplinary aspect of Prum's work that she invited him to be a Whitney Fellow. He gave his Fellow's talk ("A Coevolutionary Aesthetic: Unifying the Natural Sciences and the Humanities") the week before he won the MacArthur.
Of his experience in the Whitney Fellowship, Prum said, "I find that I thrive on the kind of intellectual stimulation you get from the breadth of stuff that's going on in a university. I love it: good food, great people, and the talks are always great-to-amazing."
The Fellowship gave him the opportunity to participate in another WHC tradition. Next year, he'll be co-teaching (along with Jonathan Gilmore, Assistant Professor of Philosophy), the Shulman Seminar on Science and the Humanities, an endowed course and lecture series run by the WHC. The class will be called "Evolution and Aesthetics"—do you get much more interdisciplinary than that?

SE Asia continues.....
Well, i think i've mentioned Vietnam already, so here is the next installment. I travelled from Saigon by bus to Phnom Penh in the middle of september, cost $6 US. Spent a few days in Phnom Penh holed up in the hotel with a severe case of delhi belly. Then took the $25 boat trip up to Siem Reap. Spent 3 days exploring the fabulous temples of Angkor Wat. I then flew to BKK, had a couple of nights there, and then went by bus to Hua Hin. Hua Hin wasn't too inspiring really, mostly retired westerners and a few seedy bars (plau a few good ones). I'm assured the seedy bars have to be pulled down by next year, but that wouldn't entice me back to Hua Hin. I then moved on to Koh Tao. Koh Tao is a lovely little island near Koh Samui. The nicest feature on Koh Tao is the small island of Nang Yuan which has a pretty spectacular beach. Swam with black tip reef sharks at dawn one morning which was a great experience, also done some great snorkelling around Mango Bay. Sairee beach was a fairly decent place to stay, with bars taking turns to have parties into the early hours each night. I am now in the Philippines. Spent the first 3 nights in Manila. Visited the Taal volcano, which is an active volcano about 2 hours drive from Manila. Manila itself i wasn't so keen on as there seemed to be a lot of dodgy characters wanting to become your best friend in the world whilst you are just walking along the street, quite uncomfortable really. I have now been in Boracay for one week. It is a beautiful place and quite hard to drag yourself away from, but i am hoping to head for Palawan in the next few days....watch this space!!!!

Jon Hardy & the Public to release 'A Hard Year'
Acclaimed purveyors of resonating Americana, Jon Hardy & the Public prepare for the January 25 release of a new stand-out EPA Hard Year - continuing their tradition of being St. Louis' "best kept secret" and announce a very special hometown show to celebrate!
Jon Hardy's voice is deep and true, expressing yearning, pain, and triumph all at the same time. The St. Louis singer/songwriter and his band, The Public, make music that has bowled over critics at outlets like NPR, No Depression and hometown weekly Riverfront Times. "I asked fellow music writer Roy Kasten to name a better song than Hardy's 'Cassius Clay' to come out of St. Louis since Uncle Tupelo's 'Gun,'" wrote that paper's Christian Schaefer. "He couldn't."
Indeed, the group's Americana-rooted sound often draws comparisons to Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar's early work, though it also incorporates horn-driven soul and stomping, anthemic rock a la Bruce Springsteen. Also featuring Glenn Labarre on lead guitar, Johnny Kidd on keyboards, Greg Shadwick on bass and Mike Schurk on drums, The Public are also influenced by Randy Newman, and released a four song cover EP of his tracks called Little Criminals. "There's something in his voice that gives me the impression that he's on the outside looking in, that he's not invited to the party," says Hardy. "His songs are comforting and troubling all at the same time."
This uneasy combination was recently featured as NPR's Song of the Day with the single "Worst I Ever Had". "Brilliantly capturing that desperate feeling lying somewhere between lust and fear," wrote NPR's Ben Westhoff, "the group shows why they probably won't be simply regional favorites for much longer."

S-Class Presented With Professional Driver Award
MILTON KEYNES, UNITED KINGDOM – Nov 9, 2012: The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has continued its positive momentum in what has been a very strong year, culminating in collecting the Professional Driver's Chauffeur Car of the Year award.
The handover took place at Mercedes-Benz World.
Mark Bursa, editor of Professional Driver and chairman of the judging panel, said of the most recent award win: "The S-Class received consistent scoring from all the judges who tested it, and it's a testament to its quality that a car toward the end of its product lifecycle can still outscore some newer rivals to win our Chauffeur Car of the Year category for 2012."
He continued: "Good customer support has also played a major part. Mercedes-Benz made major improvements to its chauffeur programme this year, with the S-Class now matching its competitors pound-for-pound, so it boils down to taste. And the three-pointed star still carries a lot of kudos in the chauffeur industry."
Throughout 2012, the S-Class has also been triumphant in the number of accolades it has received, with a total of four awards won this year alone, including Auto Express Best Luxury Car, What Car? Best Luxury Car, and The Sunday Times Best Executive and Prestige Model.
S-Class registrations are up 13.6% year to date (1,709). In the fleet sector specifically, registrations are enjoying a 27% increase YTD.
The S 350 BlueTEC L is equiped with one of the world's cleanest diesel engines, returning 41.5 mpg and 177 g/km of CO2 on the combined cycle. With its generous equipment levels, class-leading comfort and peerless safety standards, the S 350 BlueTEC L is priced at £64,610 on the road.

New legislative voting maps strike Democratic women
Posted February 9, 2012
Updated February 10, 2012
Raleigh, N.C. — Women Democrats in the General Assembly were hit hardest by new maps of legislative voting districts, but Republicans insisted Thursday that gender wasn't a factor in the way they drew the maps.
The maps placed two of the three Democratic women in the Senate in districts with other incumbents. The tactic is called "double-bunking," and it's often used to force lawmakers to retire.
So far, six female Democrats have announced plans to retire: Sen. Linda Garrou of Forsyth County and Reps. Jennifer Weiss of Wake County, Diane Parfitt of Cumberland County, Alice Bordsen of Alamance County, Edith Warren of Pitt County and Patsy Keever of Buncombe County.
Candidate filing opens next Monday, and more female lawmakers are expected to not seek re-election.
"Many of them were double-bunked. Many of them were drawn into districts that were so unwinnable that it began to be a real threat to this whole process of women in the legislature," said Sen. Ellie Kinnaird, D-Orange.
Kinnaird's redrawn district pits her against fellow Democrat Bob Atwater. She said she plans to run for re-election, but it's unclear whether Atwater will oppose her in the May 8 primary.
In the House, eight of the 22 Democratic women were double bunked, and the districts of four others were drawn in such a way to make them more difficult for a Democrat to win. GOP voting maps hit Dem women hardest
By comparison, only 24 percent of men in the House – Democrat or Republican – were double-bunked.
GOP voting maps hit Dem women hardest
No Republican women were double-bunked in the House.
Carol Teal, director of Lillian's List, a political group for Democratic women, said Republican mapmakers went out of their way to double-bunk women.
"Women were targeted. They were deliberately targeted," Teal said. "I can understand why they'd want to get rid of all these progressive women who were champions for education and women's reproductive rights. All the cuts that (the General Assembly) made disproportionately affected women."
Rep. David Lewis, the chairman of the House Redistricting Committee, said lawmakers were targeted in the maps because of their politics, not their gender.
"It's truly an absurd accusation that in any way women were targeted," said Lewis, R-Harnett. "There are elected members of the General Assembly who happen to be women who have constantly advocated for failed policies that are out of step with what North Carolina needs. The only explanation they can come up with is to try to play some kind of victim role."
Lillian's List is ready to field new female Democratic candidates in November, Teal said.
"Women are mad. They're angry, and they're ready to go," she said.

But the Kiwi was adamant he could just as easily have been talking about a Wales victory - if his side had sorted out their kicking errors.
On more than one occasion the home side inexplicably kicked away possession with the line in sight and Gatland believed that might have been the difference.
"We're disappointed because we felt there was an opportunity there but there were a couple of errors in the first half when we had England under pressure," said Gatland.
"I said to them afterwards that they need to look at themselves.
"I thought the effort was huge and I can't complain about the effort out there that was put in.
"But we still need to be very, very self-critical on areas that we can still improve in our game.
"We need to keep reminding the players about having the confidence to keep playing rugby and making sure we control our own destiny.
"Sometimes we don't do that because we keep making a few errors and those are the things from a coaching point of view that are frustrating."

The SM8SUB70 8" subwoofer system is perfect for restaurants, bars, and high-fashion retail outlets. The system utilizes a 8" woofer housed in a 915 cubic inch multi-angle, flyable, wood enclosure system to provide extended low frequency response with a wide variety of mounting options. (Not for outdoor use!).
Inserts are included for use with 1/4"-20 drop forge eyebolts, optional SM8CBKT-B /-W mounting bracket and OmniMount 30 series hardware.
An 18 dB/octave three-pole passive crossover eliminates the need for a separate electronic network or dedicated amplification to power the speaker. Its low crossover point (120Hz) nearly eliminates localization, allowing a designer to boundary-load the SM8SUB70-B near a wall or into a corner for maximum output, while maintaining even coverage throughout the space.
A premium 70.7V transformer allows the SM8SUB70 to be paralleled with any 70.7V commercial audio system to provide extended low frequency response and more overall audio impact for foreground music systems. (Unit is also 8ohm compatible). Perfect for use with other SM series full range loudspeakers. Available In black (SM8CXT-B) or White (SM8CXT-W)

PSY Gangnam Style - All in one App
Use this application for accessing to PSY Gangnam Style News, Facebook, Twitter and Videos.
Gangnam Style (강남 스타일) is a 2012 dance pop single written and performed by Korean pop singer Park Jae Sung, better known by his stage name PSY. Since the release of the song and its highly entertaining music video in mid-July 2012, the video has gained more than 8 million views in the span of two weeks and spawned numerous parodies and copycat dance videos on YouTube.
The song Gangnam Style"was written and recorded as the title single of the sixth studio album PSY 6 (Six Rules), Part 1 by Korean singer PSY, who is best known for his quick-witted sense of humor and comical dance moves. The song was released on July 15th, 2012, along with the music video which made its online debut via PSY's official YouTube channel on the same day.
Upon its release, the song took off on virtually all Korean billboard charts, portal search sites and online music stores, but it began garnering international attention after the music video went viral on YouTube during the third week of July 2012. The video continued gained viral momentum at an average rate of more than 9 million views per day in the span of two months, surpassing Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" to reach the number one position on the YouTube Top 100 Music Videos chart during the last week of August. By mid-September, PSY's "Gangnam Style" overtook LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" as the most liked video on the site with more than 1.6 million likes
The Horse Dance
The mass appeal of the music video has been attributed to its signature dance move known as "the horse-riding dance," which combines the stylistic elements of shuffle dancing and hand movements resembling the posture of a horseback rider. During its onset, speculations arose in the Korean internet communities that the dance may have been pioneered a year earlier by a Korean pop group Girls' Day in their 2011 debut single Tilting Head. However, PSY later revealed in interviews that he came up with the dance during a talent contest at a post-concert event in August 2011.
According to numerous sources close to the artist, PSY's "Gangnam Style" was written as a satire about South Koreans' materialist obsession with Seoul's Gangnam district, which has become a symbol of opulence and socioeconomic status, and everything else it stands for. On August 23rd, The Atlantic published an article titled "Gangnam Style, Dissected: The Subversive Message Within South Korea's Music Video Sensation," which shed a light on the meaning of the song's lyrics in the context of modern Korean pop culture.

Ohio family fights cemetery over Spongebob monuments
A soldier's family is battling a cemetery for the right to erect two unusual monuments in her honor.
Kimberly Walker loved the cartoon character Spongebob. So when the Army soldier died, police say at the hands of her ex-boyfriend, her family erected monuments of the animated character.
Her family says it is the perfect tribute, but the cemetery disagrees.
"We went through the channels to get these plots and also to get these monuments and then you just turn around and walk away like we're nothing," said Deborah Walker, Kimberly's mother.
Walker says what has taken place in her battle with Spring Grove Cemetery is bad business and disrespectful to her family and to her deceased daughter Army Sgt. Kimberly Walker.
"They had no compassion for what we were going through," said Deborah Walker.
In March, Walker purchased six plots and two unique monuments of Spongebob. Everyone says Kimberly adored the cartoon character. Each weighs 7,000 pounds, stands 6' 8" and four feet wide. Both have military uniforms on.
The Vermont granite monuments cost more than $13,000. The cemetery gave the go ahead for the design done by artist Tara Chambers.
"In the meetings that we attended it seemed like we had the acceptance of the staff and personnel there so it seemed like it was going to be a great project," she said.
But about a week and a half ago, the family was told Spongebob had to go because the monument does not fit with the historic cemetery's guidelines. The Spongebob monuments were removed one day after they were put in place.
Suggested Links
"I've received calls from a lot of friends because me and my sister both were in the military so a lot of military friends seen it knew about the whole SpongeBob I talked so much about it and was so excited," said Kara Walker, Kimberly's sister.
Spring Grove Cemetery acknowledges an employee initially approved the monument design, but the president modified his initial comments this week, saying the design "was not approved by senior management and cannot remain here."
"This is what Kimberly wanted this is what we wanted," said Deborah Walker.

"Another Girl, Another Planet" is a song by the English punk/New Wave group The Only Ones, the second track on their first album, The Only Ones, released in 1978. The song has since been covered by several other performers.
Background and content[edit source | edit]Edit
"Another Girl, Another Planet" is by far The Only Ones' best remembered song and has become something of a standard, covered by several notable artists. The Only Ones are often considered a one-hit wonder due to the popularity of "Another Girl, Another Planet" although the song was not actually a chart hit upon initial release in 1978. The track's first chart appearance was in July 1981, when it appeared at #44 for one week on the New Zealand charts, before dropping out of the top 50. More than a decade later, "Another Girl, Another Planet" appeared in the UK charts for two weeks in January 1992, peaking at #57.
The record is distinguished by soaring guitars, wounded vocals and Peter Perrett's elliptical lyrics framing a blasé, weary take on love and romance. Allmusic calls it "Arguably, the greatest rock single ever recorded".[1]
Recognition[edit source | edit]Edit
The song was placed at number 18 in John Peel's all-time Festive Fifty millennium edition and when playing it in 1980's Festive Fifty, he introduced it as an "artful little caprice".[2]
In March 2005, Q magazine placed the song at number 83 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks.
In popular culture[edit source | edit]Edit
The song's title was used as the name of a 1992 American independent movie directed by Michael Almereyda,[3] though the song does not appear in the film. It does appear, though, in two British films and the commercially released soundtracks - That Summer (1979) Me Without You (2001). It also appears in Different for Girls (1996),[4] and the song was also on the soundtrack of D.E.B.S. (2004). The Only Ones' version was used in the opening of the 2011 film Paul.
The Only Ones' original was in use for a Vodafone commercial in the UK in 2006, but was later replaced with a cover version by Bell X1. It is also the "on hold" music when Vodafone customers call in to discuss their accounts.
The lines: "You get under my skin but I don't find it irr-i-tating, you always play to win but I won't need reha-bil-itating, oh no, I think I'm on a-nother world with you... with you, I'm on another planet with you... with you-oo. another girl, another planet, another girls another planet": of the song's chorus were used in the novel 'Junk' by Melvin Burgess. The book was set roughly around the early and late 1980s. It was used to explain the mindset of the punk and anarchist characters care-free and criminalistic lifestyles.
Cover versions[edit source | edit]Edit
Possibly the first cover of the song was recorded in 1986 by Greg Kihn. Another early cover was recorded by The Replacements live in concert; it first appeared on the B-side of one of their final singles, "Achin' to Be", in 1989. The song also appeared as a B-side on The Lightning Seeds' single "Ready or Not". Another cover was recorded by The Mighty Lemon Drops. The Mushuganas had a cover on their self-titled album in 1998. More recent covers include those byBlink-182, Belle & Sebastian, Ex-Hefner member Jack Hayter and Babyshambles, though the last has not been commercially released. The Perrett family was invited on stage at a Libertines gig at The Rhythm Factory in 2004 to play the song which explains that link. A group called the London Punkharmonic Orchestra released Symphony Of Destruction: Punk Goes Classical, an album of late 1970s punk/new wave songs redone in classical arrangements, including "Another Girl, Another Planet". The Nutley Brass have also recorded an easy-listening, brass-band synthesiser version. Even the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain have covered it in their pseudo-twenties, seven-ukulele-and-voice style, as featured on their compilation album Top Notch.
Blink-182 cover[edit source | edit]Edit
|"Another Girl Another Planet"
|Song by Blink-182 from the album Greatest Hits
|December, 2004
|Pop punk
|Peter Perrett
In December 2004 Blink-182 recorded a cover of this song for the opening track of Travis Barker's MTV reality show Meet the Barkers. It was later released in 2005 on their Greatest Hitsalbum. The Blink-182 version features an alteration to Perrett's original lyric by way of "I could kill...." rather than "I look ill...", which is speculated to be because Blink 182 has used the Replacements' cover, and not the original. This was also the last song Blink-182 recorded until their 2011 album Neighborhoods. Although not an official single, it peaked at #99 on the U.S.Billboard Pop 100.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The cancer death rate for children in the United States has declined sharply -- down 20 percent from 1990 to 2004 -- thanks to better treatment of leukemia and other cancers, health officials said on Thursday.
Cancer stands as the leading disease-related cause of death for U.S. children, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a report. Better treatments are improving survival rates, the CDC said.
"It's not that we're having less cancer diagnosed. The incidence rates, the new-case rates are the same. It's just that we're getting better survival," the CDC's Dr. Lori Pollack said in a telephone interview.

Triumph Spitfire
Triumph Spitfire Tyres
Here is what Longstone Tyres recommends based on your Triumph Spitfire tyre needs:
- 145TR13 Vredestein for a Triumph Spitfire MK I & MK II
- 155HR13 Michelin XAS for a Triumph Spitfire 1500 with the XAS, Michelin made more progress by differentiating the many elements that form the tyre, leading to the creation of the Michelin XAS which was the first tyre with an asymmetrical tread pattern. The Michelin XAS was constructed taking into account the different kinds of work done by the shoulders, sidewalls and different parts of the crown, depending on whether they are on the inside or outside relative to the car. Just like a person's foot is asymmetrical, the inside and outside of a tyre work differently to give the car good balance and sure handling, ideal for the later Triumph Spitfire.

America's electric grid is undergoing unprecedented changes that could threaten reliability in discrete markets. The challenges facing the grid are many. This was the take-away lesson from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's annual reliability conference in Washington, D.C. Tuesday. Into this milieu will be thrust FERC's next chair to succeed Jon Wellinghoff, whose term ended last November. The President's first pick for the job was Ron Binz, whose nomination was scuttled by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources (ENR) Committee when it became apparent that he was an opponent of all forms of conventional energy. For his second pick, the President chose Norman Bay. I want to highlight Bay's evident absence of experience and also his apparent willingness to buy into EPA's flawed reliability analyses. These qualities would serve poorly any FERC chair. Yet they are especially inappropriate characteristics for a FERC chair in the midst of unprecedented change within the electric sector. > Read more See also: Either Norman Bay or a Former FERC General Counsel Is Lying, and the Senate Should Find Out before It Proceeds with Bay's Nomination to Chair FERC >Interview William Yeatman REFORMING REGULATION - RYAN YOUNG Regulatory Improvement CommissionOne of my favorite regulatory reform ideas is an independent commission tasked with combing the 175,000-page Code of Federal Regulations and giving Congress a package of obsolete, redundant, or harmful regulations to repeal in one fell swoop.

Having met James "Bonecrusher" Smith this past weekend at a Ring 10 fundraiser to aid impoverished fighters, Boxing 101 features his upset victory over WBA heavyweight champion Tim Witherspoon on December 12, 1986 at New York's Madison Square Garden in this installment of VHS Classic Rewind.
Bonecrusher Smith (18-5, 13 KO's) initially crushed his way into relevance with a knockout in the final two minutes of a 10-round fight in May 1984 against then undefeated British prospect Frank Bruno in London. This victory set him up for a title shot in November 1984 against the mighty Larry Holmes who had successfully defended his crown 18 times and was undefeated in 45 fights. Although he rocked Holmes, Smith was unable to keep his foot on the gas and suffered a cut that forced the fight to be stopped in the tenth round.
This would be Smith's second time facing Witherspoon, losing the first meeting by unanimous decision in June 1985 for the NABF belt. While preparing for a non-title bout with Mitch "Blood" Green, Smith was given only a week's notice by promoter Don King in December 1986 to fight Witherspoon for the WBA championship when originally scheduled opponent Tony Tubbs suddenly withdrew at the last minute. Recognizing that he might not get such an opportunity again, Smith accepted the fight.
Witherspoon (25-2, 17 KO's), who briefly held the WBC belt before losing it to Pinklon Thomas by majority decision in August 1984, captured the WBA strap when he defeated Tubbs by majority decision in January 1986. Instead of facing Tubbs in a rematch after successfully defending the title against Frank Bruno in July 1986, Witherspoon would be fighting the 31-year old, last minute substitute Smith. The champion Witherspoon was heavily favored, especially coming off of an eleventh round TKO victory over Bruno in London.
The #9 WBA ranked Smith immediately jumped on the bone dry and somewhat soft Witherspoon, landing an overhand right at the opening bell. From that point forward, Smith did not let up. He continued to pressure Witherspoon with combinations that put the champion in full defense mode covering up and trying to duck punches.
Smith countered one of Witherspoon's few punches with a big right hand that knocked the 28-year old champion to his knee. Witherspoon immediately got back up and continued retreating even though it should have been ruled a knockdown. However, there would be more where that came from given Smith's persistent and unanswered right hand that kept chopping away at his opponent.
The first official knockdown came when Smith followed up a big left hook with a right hand to drop Witherspoon. A second knockdown came courtesy of a chopping right hand that landed on the side of Witherspoon's head. Smith continued to thump away after his weary opponent reluctantly rose to his feet, dropping the uninspired champion for the third and final time with another right hand.
Since the three knockdown rule was in effect, referee Luis Rivera stopped the fight at 2:12 of the first round amidst confusion by the HBO broadcasters as to whether the rule was, in fact, in place. It was an irrelevant point since it was clear Witherspoon did not come to fight.
Smith, on the other hand, came not only to fight, but to win. In so doing, he became the first college graduate to win the heavyweight championship of the world.
His championship reign was brief, however. Smith lost the title in his next fight three months later to Mike Tyson in lackluster fashion. Although Smith continued to fight rather frequently into the late 1990's, he never fought for another world title again. At the age of 46, Smith lost his last fight by eighth round TKO against an even older Larry Holmes in June 1999. Bonecrusher retired with a record of 44-17-1 (32 KO's).
Witherspoon was embroiled in a legal battle with promoter Don King for several years. Like Smith, Witherspoon never reached championship heights again, although he did win the USBA title with a split decision victory over Carl "The Truth" Williams in March 1991. He continued to fight into his 40's, retiring in 2003 at the age of 45 with a record of 55-13-1 (38 KO's).
Many have pointed to Witherspoon's lack of mental and physical conditioning as a major contributing factor in the outcome of this fight. While that may very well be the case, Smith took full advantage of the opportunity and overcame his own disadvantages to get the startling win. At 31 years old and with only a week to prepare for the fight, the manner in which Bonecrusher decimated Witherspoon was admirable.
Following the fight, HBO analyst Larry Merchant called Smith's victory a "monumental upset".

Table Manners
A few basis differences between French and British table manners...
Eating Soup
Many dinners start with a soup course. Note that in the UK, the soup spoon is rounder than in France.
In the UK:
- Spoon the soup away from yourself towards the opposite side of the bowl.
- Sip the soup quietly from the side of the spoon
- Tip the bowl away from you to spoon thelast spoonful or two of soup.
Hand(s) on the Table
- In the UK, always have one hand on your lap whilst the other is on show. This is just the opposite of French Table manners when both hands always have to be on the table but not the elbows.
When you have finished Eating
- Place your knife and fork - with the tines facing upwards - together on your plate. In England people put them both in their plate at 6h30 whilst in France people tend to put them on the side of their plate at 3h15. Whatever you do, do not cross your knife and fork on your plate.
Avoid any word that is too close to French. Instead use:
Napkin instead of serviette
Pudding instead of dessert
If you must, Loo instead toilet
In French, in a formal setting, avoid saying Bon Appétit.

Note etiquette is a French word! "Good table manners" is the nearest English equivalent.
So we have adopted teh French word in the UK.
I always like the George W. Bush quote "Do you realsie the French do not have a translation for the word 'entrepreneur'!"
Sacre' Yankies!

County-wide one half cent sales tax now in effect
EUREKA- Humboldt County residents and visitors will now be paying more at the check out, all in the name of safety. Measure Z, the county's new one-half cent sales tax, went into effect Wednesday.
The tax applies to all goods, excluding prescription medicine and food purchased as groceries. It is estimated to bring in $8.8 million.
A Measure Z Citizens Advisory Committee is currently in the process of reviewing 47 applications for funding, totaling more than $18 million. The committee will make their selections by May 6 and present them to the Board of Supervisors.
"Rest assured the majority of that money will be directly into public safety, be it police, Sheriff's in this case, fire departments, Mental Health, as well as the D.A. and Probation," Measure Z Citizens Advisory Committee Chair Mike Newman said. "There may be some auxiliary things, small things that could be coming out of that but that I can only speculate."

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Hello. This is a decision that only you can decide and there is not necessarily a right or wrong answer. However, research is beginning to show that preserving the ovaries when it is safe to do so is the best course of action (only your doctor can decide if it is safe to do so and since he has left this decision up to you, then it stands to reason that he believes it is so). Removal of the ovaries raises the risk of death from heart disease and the risk of hip fracture and brings up the issues of hormone replacement therapy. It is also being shown that removing ovaries increases dementia risk in later life (see articles here http://ww3.komotv.com/Global/story.asp?S=4739230 and here http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/6045.html )Removing the ovaries does however take away the risk of ovarian cancer (which is a very rare cancer but is deadly) and is usually recommended when the doctor believes that cancer may spread to the ovaries. I will provide you an article that you may want to read that supports preserving the ovaries here http://www.latimes.com/features/health/la-he-hysterectomy15aug15,0,2963288.column?coll=la-home-health
Only you can make the decision that is right for you. It is important to be well informed of the risks and pros and make the decision that makes you comfortable. I hope this is helpful to you; please remember to press accept and feel free to contact me if you have anything to add.

PC Recommended System Accessories
Flash Memory:
USB "thumbdrives" are an inexpensive and effective way to backup and carry files. They have high capacities and are compatible with the UC computer labs.
NOTE: Anything you save on portable media should also be saved on a hard drive of a computer you have readily available to you, as any portable media is susceptible to physical damage or data loss.
Lockdown Kit
If you own a laptop, it is in your best interest to buy a lockdown kit to secure it. Laptops are easily stolen, and while theft is not endemic at UC, it is a good idea to protect your investment.
25' Cat5 Cable
We recommend 25 feet of Category 5 (Cat5) cable for use in your room. 25 feet ensures that if necessary, you can run the cable around the room comfortably.

New Delhi: Before going to bed, Shakun Anand, 24, likes to curl up in front of the TV and watch her favourite sitcom Are We There Yet? on Comedy Central. Keeping her company is a large bowlful of ice-cream—Mother Diary's Cookies and Cream usually or anything chocolaty—a treat that she reserves for one day in a week, since she's also counting calories.
The frozen desserts department of Anand's favourite department store offers a bewildering array of choices. An "out-of-home" product about a decade ago, in-home consumption of ice cream has been climbing over the years. For one of India's top dairy brands, Amul, the split is now down the middle—half outside the home and half within.
As summer sets in over India with the promise of scorching temperatures in excess of 40 degrees Celsius, a combination of circumstances has made manufacturers realize that they could be at an inflection point, that home consumption may soon form the bulk of their business, in line with how the business works in developed markets.
The change has been made possible by more households having the ability to keep the ice-cream from melting—the penetration of refrigerators in urban India rose to 41.0% in 2012 from 32.9% in 2009. Overall refrigerator penetration, in urban and rural areas, rose to 18.8% from 13.7% in the same period. Power back-up in urban areas and the advent of double-door refrigerators with larger freezing compartments are also aiding growth in the category.
In-home consumption of frozen desserts has been rising 25-30% annually, compared with 20% for the out-of-home variety. Ice-cream manufacturers are also pushing larger pack sizes and a variety of flavours into the Rs.2,500 crore organized ice-cream market. Buyers seem to be lapping everything up.
Swati Sethi, who works at a New Delhi-based business process outsourcing firm, spends Rs.1,000-1,500 at a time when she's stocking up on ice-creams for a family of five.
"It's almost a part of the daily meal now," she says. The household's stocks need to be replenished at least once a week, she says, especially since there are children involved—three in the case of the Sethi family.
New Delhi-based Devyani Food Industries Pvt. Ltd, which launched the Cream Bell ice-cream brand in 2003, said its in-home share has risen to 16% from 10% four years ago.
Consumption of larger pack sizes will grow in the the next decade, said Nitin Arora, chief executive officer at Cream Bell.
"It definitely expands the basket of purchases being made by housewives at modern trade stores indicating that the propensity to buy as well as incidence of consumption is going up," said Arora.
The increased penetration of refrigerators in the country is driving in-home consumption of ice creams, said R.S. Sodhi, managing director of the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd, which sells its products under the Amul brand.
Amul says its sales contribution of take home packs has increased to 50% from 30% few years back. This summer, the company has rolled out a dozen new products and flavours in the family pack size.
Better cold chain infrastructure is enabling wider distribution, said Subhashis Basu, business head of dairy products at Mother Dairy Fruit and Vegetable Pvt. Ltd, part of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) of India.
"The overall strengthening of cold chain infrastructure has made ice-creams, including the take home/family packs, reach out to a larger set of consumers," Basu said.
Apart from the mainstream flavours, Mother Diary freshened its line-up with its Western Classics range, which offers flavours such as Strawberry Crush, Cookie Crumbs and Choco-Amonds among others.
For Kwality Wall's, the ice-cream brand owned by India's biggest consumer goods company Hindustan Unilever Ltd, the in-home segment is significant and "our focus is on growing the market and consumption of the category" a company spokesperson said.
According to experts, more ice-cream is also being eaten at home because, oddly enough, Indians are increasingly venturing to eat out.
Ice-creams replicate the dining-out experience at home, explained B. Narayanaswamy, consultant at Ipsos Research.
Apart from ice-creams, acceptance of frozen foods is also on the rise, said Shoeab Salim, managing director at Honeybee Amusements Pvt. Ltd, which last week announced a deal to make and sell American Mini Melts ice-creams in India that come in the form of popcorn-style pellets. At-home consumption is "a growing trend. It's not just restricted to ice-creams, it's happening across frozen desserts".
Meanwhile, it helps that consumers are seeking new flavours outside of plain vanilla (or even butterscotch).
"Consumers expect new flavours and SKUs (stock-keeping units), hence trials are generated through impulse packs which afterwards converts to economy family packs," said Sodhi of Amul, which is debuting Morroccan Dry Fruits, Chocolate Brownie and Roasted Almonds this summer. They will be joined by Mother Dairy's Tender Coconut, Caramel Croquant and Sheer-e-Khaas.

Some may be destined for the veto pen
By T.W. Budig, ECM Capitol Reporter
Republicans sent a fistful of lawsuit reform bills to the desk of DFL Gov. Mark Dayton Wednesday, Feb. 8.
"The hungry lion has been fed," quipped Senate Majority Leader Dave Senjem, R-Rochester, noting the bipartisan support for some bills.
Democrats expect Dayton to veto at least some of the legislation that House and Senate Republicans herald as common sense and good for the state's business climate.
Some Democrats see it differently.
"There's a rank hypocrisy here," said Rep. Steve Simon, DFL-St. Louis Park, an attorney, arguing Republicans seem at peace with corporations suing corporations but object to suits filed by individuals against corporations.
The proposed changes to state law would do a number of things.
For one thing, the statute of limitations on filing a suit would be decreased by from six to four years.
"It makes sense," said Rep. Doug Wardlow, R-Eagan, author of two House bills.
Republicans argue the six year statute of limitations was put into effect in the days when legal documents were sent by Pony Express.
Another bill would have judges weighing the size of attorney fees in a lawsuit in relation to the size of the award to the plaintiff.
Sen. Ron Latz, DFL-St. Louis Park, an attorney, styled ramifications from the legislation as an "unprecedented intrusion" into attorney/client privilege.
Republican argue the bill is common sense.
Another bill dealing with class-action lawsuits — suits in which a large number of people bring a claim to court — would allow defendants to appeal the class-action suit earlier in the legal process. In doing so, the discovery process of the suit, the collection of facts and testimony, would be halted until the court of appeals rendered a ruling.
Sen. Julianne Ortman, R-Chanhassen, an attorney, argued the discovery process for defendants can be extremely expensive and the sooner courts are allowed to make decisions on the merits of lawsuits "the better off we all are," she said.
But Latz countered by arguing that it makes no sense for attorneys to take on baseless lawsuits. Legal practices can be destroyed because too much time and money have been sunk into cases ultimately dismissed, he explained.
Although Democrats charge that the Republicans legislation will serve to block entry into the courts for people with good claims but small pocketbooks, Republicans dismiss the charge.
"The exact opposite (is true)," Ortman said.
Republicans propose increasing the threshold amount of claims obtainable in conciliation court from $7,500 to $10,000.
On the Senate floor, Ortman said she personally wished the amount had been higher.
Ortman styled conciliation court as less formal, less expensive for people to pursue claims.
Under the Republican bill, claims in excess of $10,000 would have to be sought in regular court. "I'm hoping he (Dayton) will sign it," Ortman said of the legislation.
Simon and Latz argued the legislation should be viewed in the broader context of a national effort by big insurance companies to subdue the courts.
One bastion of business, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, already ranks the Minnesota courts as pretty good.
In the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Institute for Legal Reform 2010 survey ranking of the states with the best and worst legal climates in the country, Minnesota was ranked 11th.
The states with the worst legal climates, according to the survey, were California (46th), Alabama (47th), Mississippi (48th), Louisiana (49th), and West Virginia (50th).
The states with the best legal climates were Delaware (1st), North Dakota (2nd), Nebraska (3rd), Indiana (4th) and Iowa (5th).
