Joe Delia
, television and film composer extraordinaire, along with long-time collaborator, Paul Hipp, will be included in the Directors' Fortnight films premiering at the
Cannes Film Festival
. This is hardly a maiden festival for Delia, whose background in the music industry is legendary.
The film is a documentary about and by director Abel Ferrara entitled,
Alive in France,
and focuses on the music trio's (including Delia's wife PJ) Autumn 2016 tour of France. "The film is full of insights into the process as cameras constantly follow Abel, Joe, Paul and the others touring and encountering the unpredictable," reveals PJ.
Joe tells us, "The film,
Alive in France
, documents the friendship and musical collaboration between myself, Abel Ferrara and Paul Hipp. The film allows the audience a glimpse into our creative process as well as our mutual love of family, friends and music."
PJ and Joe Delia.
Joe's haunting and atmospheric film scores have entertained audiences for years, and he has two gold and one platinum records. His keyboards have kept many on their feet, and his prolific composing for both television and film have created an instantly recognizable Delia sound. Film and television credits include, among others, the
Award-winning ten-part series
Lost Civilizations
/Time Life; the History Channel's
Digging for the Truth,
National Lampoon
films to NOVA and
National Geographic
Series. His new band "Thieves" is well-known throughout the Hamptons and NYC metropolitan area.
Ferrara (a director whose career spans more than four decades, including cult favorite 1992's
Bad Lieutenant
starring Harvey Keitel) has used Delia to score his films for many years, including
Bad Lieutenant.
According to PJ, "
Alive in France
includes showing strategizing, scouting, traveling and performing with actresses, including Abel's wife, Christina Chiriac, Dounia Sichov (who is also in another film at the Festival)" and PJ herself (a Montauk native and former radio personality).
PJ continues, "It was a very natural experience for Joe and me to work onstage with Abel. He's a creative force wherever he goes. That dynamic completely translates on stage and, of course, Joe and Abel have worked closely together for decades. They have a rhythm."
Since 1969, the Directors' Fortnight films have been an important part of the prestigious film festival, and will continue on to Marseille, Paris, Geneva, Rome, Milan, Florence and Brussels.
The Directors' Fortnight runs from Thursday, May 18 through Sunday, May 28 in Cannes with the premiere of
Alive in France
scheduled for Saturday, May 20, and will be shown four times.
An added treat for attendees at the Festival will be a live performance by Ferrara, Hipp, the Delias, Chiriac and Sichov, and French drummer, Laurent Bechad. Joe Delia has premiered with Ferrara at many festivals, including numerous performances at both Cannes, as well as the Sundance Film Festival.

- butter
- 2⁄3 cup parmesan cheese

- Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
- Blend together the leeks, cheese, mayonnaise and whipping cream.
- Stir in the artichokes and pimentos.

cancer affects nearly 150,000 people annually. According
to the American Cancer Society, it is third most common
cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths
among American men and women. This often silent
killer has received tremendous attention in the media
in recent years as the medical community and celebrities
have joined together to remind the public of the importance
of undergoing preventive screening to detect colorectal
cancer in its earliest stages when it is most treatable. A
baseline colonoscopy is recommended for men and women
age fifty and older; however, individuals with a family
history of colorectal cancer, or who are at risk for
the disease due to other pre-existing conditions, should
be screened earlier. There is no single cause
of colorectal cancer, but it is thought that a high-fat,
low fiber diet, rich in red meat, may increase
risk. Cigarette smoking is a known risk factor
for this condition. Early detection is critical
to patient survival and the procurement of life insurance.
Is Colorectal Cancer?
Cancer that begins in the colon, the six foot intestinal
tract that connects the small intestine to the rectum, is
called colon cancer. Cancer
that begins in the rectum,
an eight inch length of intestine that connects the colon
to the anus, is called rectal
cancer. Cancers affecting either
of these organs may also be referred to as colorectal cancer.
Colorectal cancer occurs when cells on the lining of either
the colon or the rectum become abnormal, grow out of control
and become cancerous. Nearly all colorectal tumors begin
as non-cancerous (benign) polyps; certain types of precancerous
polyps. called adenomatous polyps, may develop into cancer
while hyperplastic polyps generally do not. Colorectal cancer
occurs when there are mutations or errors in the genetic
code that controls the growth and repair of the cells lining
the colon.
Other related medical conditions
(or medical terminology) include Colon Cancer,
Colorectal Cancer, and Bowel / Rectal Cancer. Learn more
information on receiving a term life insurance
quote with these medical conditions
from our life insurance specialists.
Your Risk for Colorectal Cancer
While anyone can develop colorectal
cancer, it is most common among people over the age of
fifty or in people who are at increased risk due to any
of these conditions:
Cancer Symptoms and Screening Methods
Colorectal cancer may strike without
telltale symptoms. For
this reason, it is imperative to know if you are at risk. If
you are at risk, your doctor will direct you to undergo screenings
at scheduled intervals dependent upon your risk factors even
if you are asymptomatic. Common symptoms of colorectal cancer
After a physical examination to palpate for tumors in the
abdomen or rectum, and blood work, the physician may order
additional diagnostic screening including:
and Treating Colorectal Cancer
Once a diagnosis of colorectal cancer
has been made, the cancer is "staged." The system most often
used is called the Dukes' Staging system. Dukes' Staging
classifies a tumor according to how deep it has penetrated
the colon or rectum lining and whether it has infiltrated
the lymph nodes. Dukes' staging classifications:
Colorectal cancer treatment will vary
depending upon tumor location, the level of infiltration
of the lining and lymph node involvement. Treatment
may include surgery, radiation therapy and / or chemotherapy.
Impact of Colorectal Cancer on Insurability
When reviewing applications for life insurance, insurers
will want clinical specifics, including Dukes' Staging,
from colorectal cancer applicants. Insurers are interested
in the stage and grade of the cancer; the time elapsed since
the date of the last cancer treatment; the type of treatment;
and the frequency of medical follow-up. With the exception
of diagnoses of colorectal carcinoma "in-situ",
which have favorable survival rates of 95 percent if treated
immediately, most other diagnoses will have contingencies
for acceptance – be it postponement for a period of
time or premium rates for several years post treatment –accept
in the cases of Dukes' Stage D cancers which are typically
incurable and options for insurance are limited to guaranteed
issue or survivorship policies.
Can MEG Financial Help?
At MEG Financial, we have worked with many
individuals across the country that have had related
histories and have helped many obtain fairly priced life
insurance. A number of these clients previously attempted
to buy life insurance elsewhere but were either turned down
or asked to pay a significantly higher rate. Our experience
helping others with related problems is invaluable
to you in identifying the insurance company that will treat
you most fairly.

By Bob Tourtellotte
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Peter Falk, an Emmy winning actor who played the absent-minded but shrewd police detective Columbo on hit 1970s television show "Columbo," has died, a family attorney said Friday.
"Peter Falk, 83 year-old Academy Award nominee and star of television series, Columbo, died peacefully at his Beverly Hills home in the evening of June 23, 2011," said a statement issued by the attorney.
Like many actors of his generation, Falk began his career on the stage, honing his craft in school, community theater and off Broadway. By the late 1950s he began to star in Broadway productions, and soon made his move to Hollywood.
Falk's breakout film role came with 1960's "Murder, Inc." in the supporting part of a killer among a gang of thugs, but it was his performance on the opposite side of the law -- as police lieutenant Columbo -- that earned Falk superstardom.
As a child, Falk's right eye had been surgically removed due to a malignant tumor, and it was replaced with a glass eye. That handicap became, perhaps, the actor's major asset and physical trademark as the star of "Columbo" because it only enhanced the detective's image as a disheveled and oddball crime sleuth.
But the homicide-chasing cop's probing questions always caused the murderer to reveal his true self and Columbo caught the villain. The show became a smash hit after its debut in 1971. It continued playing on TV for many years and even spawned several TV movies later in the actor's life.
Falk is survived by his wife, Shera, of 34 years and two daughters from a previous marriage.

Saturday – 4-mile Oktoberfest Relay
Brooke did great the whole day!
Burned about 400 calories in 40 minutes (the race took the girls about 34 minutes to finish, the other 6 minutes were warming up – aka walking/jogging to the start line, and running into the woods to pee before my leg).
Sunday – 3-mile walk/run
Took a walk with the family! It was so nice and cool yesterday that a walk was absolutely necessary. Robert and I wore our new Moov devices (I'll have a write up on these soon) to see how they worked out….it was a fun experiment!
Burned 505 calories in 75 minutes
Monday – CrossFit
Front Squat
7 x 2
@ 75% with Pause: 2 second – 75lbs
Jump rope, Squats, and Rowing
3 rounds:
75x Double-Unders – I did 20 kettlebell swings instead of DU's (several friends who have had the placenta previa urged me to not do jumping exercises, so I'm listening to their advice…better safe than sorry!)
40x Squats
25x Calorie Row
Finished in 19:26
Burned 546 calories in 68 minutes.
Tuesday – Rest Day
5 x 1
@ 90% of 1RM – used 55lbs

400m Run
6 rounds of:
10x Burpees
5x T2B
Finished in 17:51
Burned 552 in 70 minutes
Today was the first day I really had to modify the workout. Instead of burpees (which I tried but just found too uncomfortable), I did box step ups…I imagine this is just the first of many modified workouts 🙂
Wednesday – Rest Day
Thursday – CrossFit
400m Farmer's carry (53#/35#) – used a 16kg KB (35lbs)
20x SB Get-ups – used a 35lb sandbag
400m Farmer's carry (53#/35#)
20x Wall-balls (20#/14#) – used a 14lb wallball
400m Farmer's carry (53#/35#)
20x Box Jumps (24″/20″) – 20 inch box step-ups (no jumping)
Um holy forearm burn! Those farmer's carries were NO JOKE.
Finished in 24:25.
Burned 703 in 69 minutes
Friday – CrossFit
1 RM – I did 125lbs a few times
3 rounds of 30 seconds on, 30 seconds rest of:
1. KB Thrusters (35#/25#) – used 20lb dumbells
2. Hand release push-ups
3. Rope climbs – I did ground-to-feet climbs
4. Wall Walks – I did planks instead (no going upside down anymore!)
5. L-sit hold
I got 94 reps (in the L-sit hold and plank, 5 seconds = 1 rep, so 6 reps in 30 seconds if I did it unbroken). Not terrible.
Burned 477 in 67 minutes

Such a mind will therefore often mistaken fantasy for reality and miss its aim. A reader not sensitive to scientific accuracy may well fall into the trap of preoccupying their minds with matters that are superficially important yet wholly without grounding in reality. That is where excellent books like How to Build a Dinosaur by Desalle & Lindley come to our rescue.
While the book fits snugly in the genre of popular scientific literature, it serves a higher literary good. It is less a work of fiction than a very prolonged movie review that often takes the shape of Biology 101. Jurassic Park is doubtless a modern movie classic, or at the very least it is universally known in most of the civilized world. The film's popularity justifies the authors' decision to make it the subject of their book because they come not to praise the movie, but to bury it and erect a far more interesting tale for us: they relate the real scientific problems that would arise if ever an endeavor like the one in Jurassic Park were attempted.
I choose to write about the original book, its' full title being The Science of Jurassic Park and the Lost World or How to Build a Dinosaur rather than the new 2009 book of the same shorthand title by Horner and Gorman not only because I have yet to read the latter, but because I seek not to enter into the biological debate over the practicality of actually reconstituting dinosaur life, but merely to expound upon the virtues of this sort of book for the purpose of refining and improving literature in the strict sense of good writing.The goal here is not to venture a polemic with A Feathered Dinosaur Tail with Primitive Plumage Trapped in Mid-Cretaceous Amber, but to demonstrate what may not immediately be obvious to the oblivious literary humanist: that knowing the content of "Current Biology" will actually help us become more discerning readers and writers.
For when we were very young, we delighted in fantasy and fairy tale not because of a burning desire to escape reality, but out of a mischievous conviction that reality was escaping us. The impatient nature of youth is to yearn for serious ventures of the adult kind. The best children's fantasy and fairy tales introduce young minds to dramatic themes adequate to their age and temperament. As such minds mature, they require a food that is likewise more mature to feast upon. Eventually, when the first signs of real changes in character appear - changes that the young mind which is halfway honest with itself perceives in itself, boys and girls leave fantasy and fairy tale and embark upon the serious novel. The serious novel, of course, is often a perilous voyage because a young mind is either not entirely ready for it or the novel is not entirely as serious as it appears. Still, like a bird learning to fly, we are eventually tossed to the wind by, if not family, then time itself.
As sophomoric readers we tend to risk forgetting the precise definition of "sophomoric", especially if we have demonstrated a tendency towards the humanities which, lacking any perceptible concrete achievements have therefore built around them an aura of elitism best encompassed by the word intelligentsia. Armed with this sort of self-perception, admitted into this elite club by a simple act of self-congratulation, we risk stagnation - particularly when we convince ourselves that psychology is a hard science and therefore literature which takes account of human psychology is somehow the be all and end all of what a great book ought to be.
We might even further shield ourselves from any self-doubt by convincing ourselves that by not watching rubbish popular films and not reading rubbish pulp fiction we are therefore implicitly preoccupied with only the highest of the literary arts. This conceit, like all conceit, deserves to be shattered and much as Nietzsche instructs philosophers to please use a hammer, so the lovers of literature would do well to enjoy a bad movie from time to time. It is only a bad movie which can give rise to the question "why is it bad?" It is all well and good to watch a movie like Jurassic Park and opine that it is bad because it is unrealistic. But why is it unrealistic? And not why in general - why precisely?
The literary intellectual no less than the biologist should be able to venture a basic answer to this question. The biologist is obliged to do so by his science, the man of literature by his art. The obligation of the biologist is easily recognized, of the man of letters less so. Yet fiction, if there is to be any value in it whatsoever beyond the mere exploitation of fantasy and emotion, ought to relate to reality. Good fiction always mirrors some reality. Imagination, as the word implies, is an image of something. If the thing imagined is hardly accurate - the image itself will be all the less interesting.
As any good writer will tell you, the difference between poor fiction and good fiction is that to write good fiction one must build imaginary plot, setting and character almost with the same care and attention to detail as when one is building a real house. The science fiction writers know this principle best. Asimov made it clear on many an occasion: science fiction, to be really interesting, uses the hypothetical realm of the imagination as a field for exploring the very real problems extrapolated from scientific fact. Not even the most abstract or surrealistic of fiction is any good unless it leaves an impression that impacts our real state of being. High fiction which is so high as to get us nowhere is no better than low fiction which merely excites the passions or appeals to the vulgar.
In order to write (and hunt down) the kind of fiction that a man of literary tastes ought to focus on, it goes without saying that having some understanding of realities that imaginative literature ought to reflect upon would be a good idea. This is likely why a liberal education is by definition an education in the arts and sciences. This is also perhaps why the liberal arts in our time are often so tiresome. The shambles of a liberal arts torn from scientific understanding is omnipresent in the predominance of subjectivity in the arts. Self-expression is everywhere, self-refinement nowhere. Self-expression is extremely easy; the only training required is the step-by-step procession by which shame, timidity, conscience, intimacy and taboo are shed in favor of an open mind. Self-refinement is extremely difficult because it requires us to guard all of these ancient virtues so that our self-expression can be made worthwhile.
Books like How to Build a Dinosaur, because they are written by scientific minds for inquisitive minds, help the imaginative lover of literature immensely. They are the perfect medium between science and fiction, and their utility goes far beyond the obvious virtue of serving to make for better science fiction. Such books help us see the world as it really is, as well as demonstrating to us that the reality of biology is far - far - more interesting than the vast majority of fictional and nonsensical visions of reality developed by the scientifically untrained mind. The mind which understands basic biology is ready to imagine a fiction that aims - as fiction always does - to be even more interesting than reality. Given just how interesting biology is - this may be a very tall order for literature.

Article: Peace, Not Russia, Is Real Threat to US Power | OpEdNewsThe monstrous US military budget is a classic illustration of the proverb about not seeing the wood for the trees. It is such an overwhelming outgrowth, all too often it is misperceived.
In recent years, Washington's military expenditure averages around $600 billion a year. That's over half of the total discretionary spending by the US government, exceeding budgets for education, health and social security. It's well over a third of the total world military annual spend of $1.7 trillion.
The incipient military-industrial complex that President Dwight Eisenhower warned of in his farewell speech in 1961 has indeed become a central, defining feature of American society and economy. To talk of American free-market capitalism is a staggering oxymoron when so much of the country's economy is wholly dependent on government-funded militarism.
Or put it another way: if the US military budget were somehow drastically reduced in line with other nations, the all-powerful military-industrial complex and the American state as we know it would collapse. No doubt something better would evolve in time, but the impact on established power interests would be calamitous and therefore is trenchantly resisted.

Wow, let me tell you, looking for a job is not fun. No one ever promised me that the process of writing cover letters and getting recommendations from long gone managers and revising resume after resume would be fun. I just thought I should remind all of you how not fun it is. It's a truism that no one enjoys this process. If they do, they are sociopaths, and I suggest not being there friends (unless they will write you a bomb resume). Still, I did get the impression that it might be a little, just a little, easier than it actually is. After all, I worked several jobs throughout college and until recently, I had a job that I thought I would be at for the next two years.
So here I am living back at home, with no job, a bunch of insubstantial goals, and a brief moment of clarity before the inevitable darkness that is unemployment once again envelopes me. It follows that I share a few thoughts of my "job search" experience. It's not over, so who knows? This could be an ongoing series updated weekly. Maybe there is an unsaturated market niche that I can tap into and make a buck or two?
- When faced with unemployment, many college graduates seem to prefer financial decay over returning to their high school jobs at Hershey Park. I feel that, but I also feel the lightness that is my wallet. Such is my current dilemma.
- At what point in my life do I get to go by Mr. Umberger in a non-demeaning sense? This really has nothing to do with the theme of this post, but for some reason I kept hearing Agent Smith from The Matrix say my name real demeaning-like as I typed this up.
- There is a huge discrepancy between looking for a job and actually searching for a job. Looking entails the behavior that is glancing at "We're Hiring" signs when walking out of your local Starbucks. Searching is the soul-crushing, demoralizing reality that every where you want to work expects at least two years of prior experience leading the known free world.
- Seriously, why does every job, even self-proclaimed entry level jobs, think someone with a master's degree who can speak three languages and has worked at a major global corporation would want to suddenly start over? Take me, the pliable and the desperate!
- I thoroughly hate job search websites. It is a never-ending list of possible jobs that I am always over qualified or under qualified for, with a surprising lack of jobs that I could actually get.
- Talking to friends and family that have a job or career just makes you sad and feel completely underwhelmed with where you are at in life. My advice is to stop talking to people in general and make friends with those inner voices.
- Getting a job with a liberal arts background was never realistic, and I should have stuck with all those science and math kids in high school when I had the chance. Once upon a time, I got a 5 on my AP Calc exam.
- There is not enough time in the day to do everything I want, so the job search naturally takes a back seat to catching up on "How to Get Away with Murder" and eating my weight in those crunchy potato sticks my dad buys.
- Alcohol is socially acceptable when you are employed, but the minute you are not employed it suddenly turns into a problem (no mom, I am not an alcoholic).
- In the end, if by some miracle and my right testicle, that I do get a job I will be blind from the number of hours I spent staring at my computer screen in the dark scrolling through the lives of more successful people like celebrities and my sister.
On the bright side of the job search, though, is that five years from now you might have a comfy chair with lumbar support!
Keep on keeping on,
P.S. I am also currently looking for apartments (cough, hint hint), and I hate it. Even the apartment the size of a broom closet requires a year of indentured servitude and proof of employment…
*This in no way should suggest that I will not enjoy the eventuality of getting a job. If I have to go through a couple of weeks, months even, of the job search in order to get a job it will have all been worth it, even the crying in the shower.

As digital businesses become the norm, many HR departments have begun exploring cloud solutions to bring about their transition to digital HR. This transition, however, goes far beyond the implementation of a cloud solution — it's a journey that needs to be carefully thought out beforehand. This journey begins at the planning stages and does not end until the technology has been fully integrated into business processes. Read on to learn about the five phases of this journey and how you can make each phase a success.
Moving to the cloud is not a single event; it's a journey that goes well beyond implementation. This is certainly true in HR, where many companies are moving from legacy on-premise systems to more agile, user-friendly, cloud-based SAP SuccessFactors solutions. The transformation journey required to move HR to the cloud goes beyond the mere implementation of software and requires carefully plotting your course for near-term and long-term benefits with the help of a trusted strategic partner.
The first step in taking this journey is actually identifying where your company currently is in the process. We typically find that organizations are in one of five phases: surviving, standardizing, automating, integrating, or transforming (see Figure 1).
Figure 1 — The five phases of an HR digital transformation
Failing to assess your current technological and process landscape may mean spending unnecessary time, money, or resources when moving to the cloud, thus undermining the entire project. If you ever want to get to the transforming phase — where you achieve a talent-based advantage over competitors aided by a full human capital management (HCM) deployment — you need to know what point you are starting from. From there, you need to progress through the project from start to support — not just consider the implementation itself a success. Successful companies recognize that they need a partner that can lead them through the entire process, including:
However thorough your planning process, you are unlikely to successfully complete your journey without a trusted partner by your side. HRIZONS can empower organizations to implement the SAP SuccessFactors solution that best aligns with the business needs that matter most, including extensibility through SAP HANA Cloud Platform applications and SAP HANA Cloud Integration solutions.

This post is made up of two separate but related narratives--one told with words and one with pictures and signs. We need words to find out how we misread signs: How Sarah Palin misread the sign of the gun crosshairs on a map targeting campaigning Democrats. How the Catholic League and the Smithsonian Institute misread David Wojnarowicz's video crucifix overrun by ants. As for the story told with pictures, it seems we might gain some perspective on both the Palin and the Wojnarowicz affairs by acquainting ourselves with the diverse ways the cross and the crosshairs have been portrayed throughout history. For the history of signage is so rife with appropriations, co-optings, and erasures of meaning, we cannot help but see that signs rarely remain in the possession of any one social milieu or culture. Signs can change their meaning and value within one generation--shifitng from benefic to malefic and back at alarming speeds. We may resist and protest the re-appropriation and redefinition of signage all we want; with the facility of signs so open to new meaning, there is little we can do to ensure the fidelity of signs to any one, universal symbolism or iconography.
It's arguable that all conflicts begin with miscommunication. In speech and writing it breaks down to a matter of semantics, but in visual communication, it's all about knowing how to read the signs, symbols, and icons with which we come in physical contact. We're all aware of the problems of illiteracy. But, sadly, few of us have ever heard of visual illiteracy, which most of us suffer acutely.
A misreading of signs is so common it's never news, though the effects of our misreadings--accidents, financial crises, even wars--fill the headlines. Which is why the news in the past few weeks of the misreadings of two of our culture's most recognizable and potently affecting signs--the Christian cross and the target sight crosshairs--unleashed deeply entrenched political tensions across America. In both cases it was a visually literate artist who imbued the signs with a sensitive political charge. And what ultimately set off the conflict over each was the cultural disconnect between the artist and public officials that stems from visual illiteracy. Unless, of course, it wasn't visual illiteracy, but callous intent that underpins each offense. But bereft of the evidence of malfeasance, why be miserly in our assumption?
Visual illiteracy does seem to lie at the heart of the more devastating of the controversies, that over the target crosshairs, which arose in the wake of this month's assassination attempt on House Representative Gabrielle Giffords that left six people dead. With the media seizing on every alleged provocation for the killings, television news began airing a video interview with Giffords last summer, in which the Congresswoman expresses concern over a map of the continental United States commissioned by Sarah Palin as part of her campaign endorsements in the November 2010 congressional elections. Of concern are the twenty graphically seductive yet ominous target crosshairs overlain the districts of twenty Democratic congressional representatives seeking reelection.
Since Giffords' was one of the districts targeted, in the wake of her shooting pundits grappled with how responsible Palin and her team was in connoting that Democrats be singled out by Republicans and Tea Partiers to be "eliminated." In the end, few believe that Palin's crosshairs map was any more than the bravada of a tough-talking narcissist who revels in high profile partisan politics and suffers a chronic illiteracy of signs and their effect on the public. And, anyway, no one has so far been able to link Palin's crosshairs map to the gunman's deranged targeting of Gifford. Yet history tells us that within a population obsessed with media signage, there are enough armed and paranoid schizophrenics awaiting signs heralding Armageddon to make the randomly deranged catastrophe a certainty upon sight of the "right" sign.
By comparison to the Tucson shootings, the controversy arising over a work of art removed from an exhibit at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. has remained relatively civil. The sign of contention is a crucifix that appears in the 1987 video A Fire In My Belly, by David Wojnarowicz, a gay artist who died in 1992 of AIDS. And really it is the image of a plaster Jesus overrun by an army of large black ants that ignites the flames. Shortly after the video was included in the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery's temporary exhibit Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture, the work was deemed offensive by the Catholic League, prompting incoming House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and House Republican Leader John Boehner to put pressure on the museum to remove the video from the show. Seven weeks in, the controversy has yet to be resolved as the censorship remains in effect and the protests are ongoing. But if the new Republican House of Representatives has its way, the censorship and the protests may yet prove to have consequences for other cultural institutions both in terms of withholding government funding and censorship of the art exhibited.
At heart, the overwrought response to the Wojnarowicz video raises the question whether it was the artist, the curators, the censors, or all concerned who took liberties with our First Amendment right to free speech and its separation from religion. And, relatedly, the fire hot issue at the heart of the Palin crosshairs map burns around the question of when artistic license seriously endangers lives. Of course the tempests over both works have arisen largely because both the cross and the crosshairs aren't just signs in the hands of artists. They are international symbols and icons with diversely interpreted meanings, most of which are highly charged with references to life and death. To a cadre of militant extremists, the crosshairs on the Palin map may read as an invitation. And no one needs reminding the Smithsonian's censorship of Wojnarowicz echos the Nazi purge of "degenerate" art; though Wojnarowicz himself must have known the kind of bloodlust that was unleashed in centuries past by the sight of the cross desecrated by the enemies of Christianity.
Even if the artists deliberately sought to unleash a political flash fire as we are led to believe from the level of sophistication in both the renderings of the crosshairs map and the crucifix video, the real problem arises in the disconnect between the artists and the public regarding their work. The artists were working on the abstract and ironic levels of signage. Whether or not it was mischief or serious dissent that motivated them, it's the public's interpretation of their art that bares the consequences. And herein lies the problem: the artists may have been working with the abstract and ironic features of signs, but the public generally receives the work on the more emotionally charged (revered or reviled) levels of symbolism and iconography.
Another part of the problem arises from history. The signage of both the cross and the crosshairs can be traced back to common roots tens of thousands of years past, and at various locales around the world. In their various forms, they venerated deities before Christ and after, including the sun and the stars that, as an effect of a four-point crepuscular refraction of light, seem to form crosses and crosshairs in the sky. It's the kind of crosscultural lineage that inspires artists to scavenge from art and archeology as well as project their own meanings onto the signs, which in turn antagonizes traditionalists who see them as living symbols and icons. But the disconnect between the artists and their audiences is more than willful on the part of artists. At heart, it is the wide variance of culture and ideology that determines the multiple interpretations of signs among audiences relatively removed from the knowledge and backgrounds of artists.
Notice the word "crotch" phonetically reflects the body's natural cruciformity.
Then, too, artists and their apologists in this age of relativism and global expansion justify the gap between artist and public on the grounds that subjectivity and cultural difference together deem it unlikely that the interpretations of signs will ever produce anything resembling consensus. But does all this necessarily mean that artists can't do more to narrow the gap between the intent of their signage and the audience's understanding of it? Do artists even want to do more, considering that ambiguity and irony are often the desired effects of art? And even if they want to, is narrowing the gap in the best interests of the rapidly growing audience for art around the world? Art is, after all, sought after because it doesn't provide the easy formulas and pat answers of entertainment.
It's hard to imagine the artists depicted in the photographs of this post making the radical innovations they have if they were to concern themselves with the slippages between the intentions of their art and the interpretation of an audience. In reflecting the times and politics contemporary to their lives, significant artists by necessity remove themselves from the traditions that audiences cling to, and as such their signage is widely misread until the culture catches up with it. Yet the progression of art evolves in stages. Notice how the modernist painters in the early 20th century develop a new compositional cruciformity derived from Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox cross and crucifixion paintings of earlier centuries. We find both the earliest Christian and anti-Christian representations in the Roman catacombs and on sarcophaghi borrowing from the Classical, Neolithic, and ultimately the Paleolithic deity worship that employed cruciform signs as focal intersections signifying the converging power and continuity of life and death. Even the images associating the cross with the nude body, sexuality, and body fluids have precedents in ancient societies. The difference being that they signified the power bestowed by fertility and body cleansing that, as aspects of nature, were culturally void of the scandals that accompany the misreadings of the Wojnarowicz, Serrano, and Mapplethorpe representations of crosses seen on this post.
Freud believed that everyone is an artist when dreaming. But if that were true, we'd all be intuitively armed with an artist's knowledge of signs that might mitigate the human propensity for misreading the signs we receive from one another every day--misreadings that too often accumulate into wholesale misunderstandings with time. The most valuable knowledge we can possess is a simple understanding that we communicate with one another on three basic but ascending levels. Signs, symbols, and icons are widely thought to compose the three primary levels in the perception and reception of information. With the first level, that of the simple signification of signs, we learn as early as infancy to read signs whose meanings we begin to recognize before we can read and write. The second level builds on signs as we grow toward adolescence, but now we begin to invest in symbolic meanings that require long-term emotional investment and have long-term life consequences.
This is the realm in which ideas anchor us to individual experiences and identities. It's also the level at which the advertising moguls and political candidates can't reach us without demonstrating deep commitment to our sacred causes. Whereas signage is two-dimensional (flat), symbolism is multi-dimensional (deep). Symbolism is the meaning we bring to the center of our being and to the centers of our loved ones, and with every intention of its centering lasting for the better part of our lives. It is upon mastering symbolism that we are ready to engage the third level of visual meaning--that of iconography. This is the level on which society works collectively and historically to build cultural identities and myths. Here we commune with the legacies of ancestors while leaving behind legacies for those who follow us--all from and to people whose names we largely can't fathom but whose every lasting contribution shapes the cognition and values of those alert to them.
At the primary level of signs, we always distinguish among the world's diversity by marking out the differences we observe in the world. The sign of the cross, or the cruciform, for example, is recognized by the simple and abstract signifier of two intersecting lines or movements (three or four in Eastern Orthodox representations), which pictorially is conventionally a vertical and horizontal pairing. In the sign of the crosshairs the intersecting lines are encircled by either forming a circumference through the four outermost points equidistant from the center, or at some interval within. (See the Celtic crosses depicted). The ideas of the 'cross' and the 'crosshairs' in our minds psychologically merge with the cruciform lines and circumferences drawn on a surface, screen or sculpturally embodied. As for the signification we attach to the sign, we already know from experience that both the cross and the crosshairs are associated with choices between life and death. The result, what we call the sign of the "crosshairs," becomes associated with the balance and focus of life and death. The cruciform (the intersecting lines), by contrast, are made analogous with the concept of sacrifical death and resurrection. It is this process of conflating the form with the concept by which we disseminate all meaning. And because we disseminate all meaning with signs, including that meaning we care little or nothing about, we rarely become attached to signs alone. As such, signs alone don't generally arouse our anger or enthusiasm, since they aren't things in the world but abstractions of things. When signs are widely shared they compose language. When they are clandestine, they operate as cyphers intended to convey meaning only to initiates. In either cases, signs are the basic building blocks of more affecting visual communication.
It's only when we promote signs to the level of meaningful events in our lives that we invest signs with the charged contents that effect emotion through symbolism. We change the meaning of a sign as frequently as the culture at large requires it. But we carry the meaning of a symbol around with us, often without changing it or trading it in even over the course of a lifetime. That's because, unlike signs, symbols intensify their hold over us, becoming more psychically charged, taking on greater and greater personal significance, as time passes. The full range of this significance is not fully understood by psychologists and sociologists even after rigorous study of control groups and analysis in the field because the process of meaning investment in the symbol is largely subjective. But we do know that symbols influence, shape, even compel behavior in all aspects of life. It is symbols, not signs, that inspire our goals and become object to our obsessions. Whereas we share signs with the public without discrimination, we share symbols with only those we perceive to value what we value--people we deem to be like us. When our beloved symbols do become embroiled in a crisis imposed on by people who don't share our symbolism (think of the Star of David in the hands of Germans during the rise of the Third Reich), we often choose to endure severe tests of faith rather than surrender the symbols that are the keys to our ideology and identity
By contrast, iconography is the level of meaning that takes into account the collectivity of history and culture in full array. Icons are symbols that operate culturally, appropriating symbolism that has evolved into a widely shared or recognized history. Icons are signs and symbols that transcend the detached status of signs and the subjective and local status of symbolism by reaching for the ideal of universality. Needless to say, in a world marked chronically by difference and relativity, the icon always falls short of universality for the simple reason that universality evades the interests that cement tribes, ethnic groups, even nations. If globalism seemingly holds out the promise of universal signage, symbolism, and iconography, it's only because in its search of universality the greater diversity is radically diminished. In a world of converging signs, symbols, and iconographies, an imagined common global culture composed of a dominant and shared language can only attain universality by authorial enforcement from above, and thereby impoverishing the world by depriving it of its teeming diversity. We can only hope this imagined authoritarian achievement strikes all heads of state as untenable before they attempt implementation.
I wrote that there are three widely recognized levels of meaning. But I personally find there to be a fourth level as well, one that isn't so well understood for being largely neglected until recently by science, despite its ancient, perhaps even animal lineage. I am speaking now of the largely unconscious habit, but in singular cases wholly conscious and willful discipline, of humans living as signs, symbols, and icons. This is the level of meaning-experience integration attained only by the true believer, the patriot, the mystic, the martyr for a cause, the individual who has met the extreme test of her own beliefs. This is the level on which the individual strives to become a living embodiment and fulfillment of the icon. It is the psychological sublimation of the sign, symbol, and icon to a level of obsessive compulsion, or in romantic terms, the striving for and attainment of transcendence and completion. More mundanely, it's the response to the world that gives basis to the presumed spiritual impetus, the drive to become one with the individual's image of God, Nature, or the Whole--one reason why science has largely shunned its study. This is the level of meaning-identification (of becoming what we mean) that distinguishes the "true believer" from the greater mass of pragmatic and political humanity who see themselves as separate and distinct from signs, symbols, and icons. It is a level we have good reason to doubt and to fear, considering that in this age of the suicide bomber, the fourth level of meaning-self integration is clearly a state of being capable of fatally conflating sign, symbol, icon, and life in some tragically warped misreading of the cosmological "completion in annihilation," the kind modelled on destroyer gods (Shiva/Kali) and the death of stars. And yet meaning-self integration also stirs the heroism of the soldier, first responder, and selfless care worker who saves lives, and thereby cannot be affordably disposed of or disparaged.
In light of these different levels of meaning, it appears no small irony that the graphic signs of the cross and the crosshairs currently being debated in and around the media won't be resolved so long as the advocates on either side unwittingly pit signage against symbologies and iconographies that are by their structure and function disproportionately opposed. The Smithsonian's censorship of the Wojnarowicz crucifix video and Sarah Palin's cavalier choice of employing gun crosshairs are literally shortsighted in assigning disproportionate stature to the signs in question. By "assigning disproportionate stature to the signs" I mean that people not trained in signage, symbolism, and iconography don't see that they are pitting the detached signage of an artist against the charged values of life-sustaining symbolism and iconography. As the platitude goes, the matter of comparing signs, symbols and icons is as viable as comparing apples, oranges, and pears. All they have in common are their categories of language and fruit.
As for the charge of some pundits that the graphic artist(s) and Palin strategists behind the crosshairs map purposefully courted political controversy to focus and amplify the tenor of fear already associated with Democratic control of Congress: We would do well to remember that artists and advertisers often work with highly charged symbols and icons while treating them as if they were no more than abstract, formal components of a picture or object, the signage that can be altered and transferred at will. Artists by their craft must remove themselves to some degree from the people who invest signs with deeply personal symbolism and cultural iconography, people who would never dream of thrusting their revered symbols and icons into contexts foreign to their ideology and faith. The problem becomes one of recognizing when a sign is only a sign and when it is a more deeply significant symbol or icon.
One way to distinguish a sign from a symbol or icon is to determine if it indulges irony or ambiguity. In being deeply personal, a symbol must be genuine and committed to specific meaning and values. An icon must be able to unify a collective mindset. Neither the symbol nor the icon concern themselves with a conscious mirroring, appropriation, conflation, or inversion of the visual features of a symbol or icon, nor do they point to or critique aspects of the symbol or icon that reside outside their vaunted ideologies. Irony mimics the meaning and value of a symbol or icon to tell us something about them that can't be contained in the symbol and icon itself--perhaps because it opposes, undermines, or simply objectifies the context in which symbols and icons are presented. We recognize that Wojnarowicz appropriates the symbol and icon of the crucifix, but operates solely within the sign so that he can project it with what he perceived to be his own death sentence (and that of his lover, the artist Peter Hujar) by a society that in the 1980s was still indifferent to and fearful of anyone with HIV. The artist isn't commenting on the theology of the godhead or the salvation that the Christian public attaches to the sign of the cross, though he knew fully that his appropriation would stir controversy on these grounds. Wojnarowicz focused entirely on the sign of the martyred Christ as embodiment of selfless charity, a sign he contrasts with the reality of social disenfranchisement to which some influential Christians hypocritically condemned the AIDS patient. In this respect, Wojnarowicz is neither desecrating the religious symbolism and iconography of Christianity and its God nor its theological socialism. He is merely borrowing the central sign of Christianity to remind Christians they've veered away from their own higher ideals.
It always strikes me as oddly incongruent that it's the conservatives who so often reveal themselves to be bereft of the knowledge of ironic signs in the hands of visual artists in the manner that Palin, Cantor, Boehner, and the Smithsonian officials display. It's incongruent because, ever since Ronald Reagan was in office, Republicans displayed an acute acumen for the art of verbal disinformation. For the last thirty years, Republicans have been living vindication for Plato's banishment of the poets from the Republic, such has been their talent at euphemizing greed and usurpation as economic stimulus.
In recent decades psychologists have been made well aware that the signs of religion and country activate meaning centers in the brain that few other signs come close to stimulating. If artists at times seem to break the circuitry of our exalted belief systems--scandalize us with art we perceive as breeding heresy or treason--it's because they by habit and the nature of their intimacy with the media and structure of visual and spatial forms, are more inclined to privilege the manipulation of signs at the expense of the symbols and iconography the larger culture holds dear. Then, too, artists are frequently motivated by the political and moral aim of striving to change the social order. If they more often than not fail in their efforts to effect social change, it's because even artists don't always fully understand that, unlike the surfaces of signs, the entrenchments of symbolism and iconography can't be disinterred by art alone. Art may penetrate the levels of personal symbolism and social iconography, but only when the artist shares in them. An art of signs alone, by contrast, takes decades, even centuries, to entrench its own ideological symbols and icons.
Ironically, where the sign of the cross is concerned, we have evidence that the early Christians seemed to possess an intuitive understanding that signs have the potential to become symbolic and iconic over time. It's an understanding that may account for why, in the first four centuries of the Christian faith, the cross was rejected by Christians in favor of the symbol of the lamb, representing Christ as "shepherd to his flock," or the fish, with Christ as the "fisher of men." They did so because they wished not to promote their faith as a moribund commemoration of death and crucifixion, but as the celebration of the renewal of life in resurrection.
Such control over the selection of signs can be secured within groups sharing a common identity, ideology, and aim, but is untenable in democratic nations that afford signs the protection of free speech. Were we to begin prosecuting the promoters of provocative signage in art, entertainment and advertising for acts of manslaughter modeled after a television crime show or a film about Sadian sexual transgressions, how could we hope to persuade nations such as Iran, China, North Korea, and Algeria to free artists imprisoned for the graver offense of provoking civil and national unrest? Freedom of speech and artistic license means we have to distinguish offensive and irresponsible use of signage by artists, market strategists, and politicians distributed to the public from the direct, specific, and motivated imperilment and termination of individual lives. There is simply no way to reduce the general risk of signs to the specific atrocity inspired by signs without curtailing the right of free speech and artistic license--an act tantamount to declaring war on the U.S. Constitution.

Sarah Fay
Hi! My name is Sarah. I'm a second year graduate student in MechE. My research is about sports technology. I'm finishing up a project about rackets and am starting one about running shoes. Extracurricularly, I also spend a lot of time with sports. I assistant coach the field hockey team, and I play club water polo. I spend the rest of my free time cooking, watching silly TV shows, and doing puzzles. I'm from Western Massachusetts, and I did my undergrad at MIT. This will be my 5th summer with WTP. I was a student on the EECS track and have been a residential tutor for ME twice. This will be my second summer as an ME instructor. I'm super excited to spend the summer getting to know all of you and showing you the awesome curriculum and activities the program has to offer!
Andie Lehn Hello, there! I am a PhD student in MechE at MIT. My research focuses on biological fluid dynamics, particularly the hydrodynamics of aquatic locomotion. My work currently includes pointing lasers at fish (pew! pew!). In 2015, I graduated with a BS in Biomedical Engineering and a minor in Philosophy from The George Washington University in Washington, DC. I also studied abroad at The University of Melbourne in Melbourne, Australia. My hobbies include running, drinking coffee (these are perhaps related) and, my favorite, practicing hot yoga. I'm originally from Orlando, FL, which may explain why I enjoy yoga in a humid room heated to 105 degrees Fahrenheit. I am ecstatic to teach, learn and grow with the WTP team!
Kristi Oki Hello! My name is Kristi and I am a second year Master's student in Mechanical Engineering. In my research I am investigating interdisciplinary experience and creative abilities of engineering students. I also have experience with product design and medical device design. I'm originally from Connecticut and I enjoy teaching, design, and crafting. I'm really looking forward to meeting all of you this summer!

Ellen Mulé
Hi! I am a rising senior studying Mechanical and Ocean Engineering. I'm from Northern Virginia and I am a huge DC sports fan (especially Capitals/Nationals). Outside of academics, I am a member of the MIT Varsity Field Hockey team. I am also in the Navy ROTC program, so after graduation I will become an officer in the United States Navy. I am hoping to either serve on submarines or become a pilot! In my free time I love playing sports, reading, and doing crossword puzzles. I am so excited for this summer and I cannot wait to meet all of you!
Heather Soukup Hi, I'm Heather and I'll be graduating in Mechanical Engineering this year! In the Fall I'll be going to Spain to work abroad and after that probably Mexico, though I am originally from Wisconsin. I really like to paint and art and talk about painting and drawing and arting. I'm pretty into Ultimate Frisbee and running if you ever want a buddy to do this stuff with :) . It'll be great to hang with you all and get to learn about Mechanical Engineering together!
Residential Assistant
Ginny Rosenberger
Hi, I'm Ginny! I'm a rising sophomore at MIT studying brain and cognitive sciences. I was a WTP-ME student two summers ago, which was an amazing experience. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone while exploring engineering and Boston together! In my free time, I enjoy singing (usually Disney and musical theater songs) and creative writing (science fiction and fantasy are my favorites). I also love animals (cats!), coffee (we're probably all going to need the caffeine), laughing at really silly/bad jokes (often made by me), and baking yummy things (I hope you guys don't mind if I make a lot of food). Can't wait to meet you all!

970 E Interstate 30
Directions Rockwall, TX 75087
The Jeep Wrangler is authentic and unique, with capability that keeps getting enhanced at the same time this intentionally crude vehicle gets more comfortable and civilized. By intentionally crude, we point to the wonderfully exposed hinges on the removable doors and a windshield that flips down for a less-impeded view off road.
After all these years, the Wrangler can still make you feel like General Patton. And this is not an outdated product.
Wrangler uses a smooth and fancy Chrysler Pentastar 3.6-liter V6, and a 5-speed automatic transmission designed by Mercedes-Benz with an available 6-speed manual. The engine makes 285 horsepower with 260 pound-feet of torque, scooting a two-door to 60 mph in 7.7 seconds, with the heavier four-door Wrangler Unlimited trailing behind, in 8.4 seconds.
There's surprisingly good acceleration at relatively low rpm. The old-school steering is dull and the ride not great, and it only gets 17 miles per gallon, but all of that becomes less important in rugged terrain where the Wrangler shines.
Wrangler features a rugged chassis with high ground clearance and skid plates, and solid axles front and rear. It is an amazing machine when it comes to scrambling over boulders. New tricks by the Rubicon model, in pursuit of bigger boulders, include electronic disconnection of the sway bar to allow extreme wheel articulation and stability in extreme situations.
And General Patton would be blown away by the refinement in the cabin. Air conditioning and Alpine speakers.
The two-door Jeep Wrangler and four-door Wrangler Unlimited come with a hard top, soft top, or both. The Freedom hardtop is like a T-top, with easily removable roof panels. The soft top is easier to get down than it used to be, but the T-top is the easiest to manage.
New for 2016 is a Black Bear edition with rock-resistant rails and a soft top.

Clea are a band (now reduced to a duo) formed on Popstars: The Rivals. They are the girls who didn't made it to be on the winner band, Girls Aloud. They have released 4 singles, and they all were big flops (Download It #21, Stuck In The Middle #23, We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off #35 and Lucky Like That #55) but they managed to release 2 albums. Actually, i love their music, it's so cheesy and old-fashioned pop that reminds me of the late 90's.
