The 20-megapixel PureView auto-focus camera on the Lumia 1520 comes with a dual LED flash and protrudes just slightly on the back - not so much as to be in the way, but enough to make it clear to passers-by that it's a serious cameraphone you're holding. You can choose to capture full-res images along with smaller 5-megapixel images for quick social sharing. The handset ships with the Nokia Pro camera application that we first saw on the Lumia 1020 and it's the same neat interface with dials for easy adjustments for white balance, manual focus, ISO, shutter speed and exposure.
It's worth underlining that the Lumia 1520 is one of very few smartphones to support real lossless zooming. You can zoom in around 2x without actually compromising the image quality. Nokia has also promised bringing RAW image support for this handset so you can really get serious with your photoediting.
You also have plentiful options for video capture as you can pick between 1080p and 720p and supported framerates of 30, 25 and 24fps. How does it all look? Take a look at the images and video taken on the Lumia 1520 on a cloudy fall day. We've included both the full-res image as well as the lower-sized one, and that's why some images might take a longer time to load.

Frozen yogurt is used to delight taste buds, unlike boiling yogurt, which is used to stop invaders from scaling gingerbread castles. Harness the benefits of this powerful treat with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of frozen yogurt at Lemon Tree Yogurt Shoppe in Bryant.
Lemon Tree Yogurt Shoppe titillates sweet teeth with an armada of kosher-certified frozen-yogurt flavors sourced from local operation Honey Hills Yogurt in Russellville. Creamy desserts ($0.45/oz. including toppings) fill mouths with live cultures and a lineup of fresh flavors that, like your Chia pet's coif, changes week to week, such as a dreamy dark-chocolate blend of three cocoa powders to quench chocolate thirsts. The banana-pudding yogurt reminds eaters of classic homemade confections, and the cheesecake flavor satiates cake cravings. The island-coconut flavor totes eaters on an ambrosial Caribbean adventure. The Lemon Tree accommodates all eaters with a selection of no-sugar-added flavors and syrups. Guests can decorate their desserts with a handful of toppings and sauces to accent miniature, frosty busts of Abraham Lincoln.

Recipe by Bec6206
When I was younger, there was a type of pasta called Juniorettes. Using that type of pasta, my mom always made a favorite summer/weekend lunch- which we called Juniorettes. However, all of a sudden, the Creamette company decided to quit making that type of pasta. In response, we stocked up on it, but we were 'afraid' to use it, and eventually the 7 or 8 boxes of Juniorettes became old and we had to throw them away. Despite the tragedy of what happened, we found that a similar pasta- Rotini- could be used to make Juniorettes. Confused? I hope not! Basically, even though we use Rotini, they are still Juniorettes in our hearts...:) Anyways, this simple pasta dish is an alternative to the usual Macaroni and Cheese as well as a favorite summertime meal when we are low on time, or just don't have anything else to make. Everyone loves it- and the hot tomato sauce makes it very filling. I hope you enjoy!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (16 ounce) box rotini pasta
- 1 (29 ounce) canhunt tomato sauce
- water
Directions See How It's Made
- Bring a pot of water to a boil.
- Cook the Rotini pasta until"Al Dente" (approximately 8-9 minutes, or just test them until done) Drain the pasta.
- While they are draining, pour the can of tomato sauce into the pot in which the pasta was cooked (this will heat up the sauce) Then, add the pasta to the sauce and mix thoroughly (the pasta will also help to heat up the sauce) Serve, and enjoy!

Andrea Leadsom listens to local farmers' concerns
By GEM Staff Reporter in Farming
Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Andrea Leadsom MP, has met local NFU Cymru members on a farm in Wenvoe to discuss issues facing the Welsh agricultural industry.
She was joined by Secretary of State for Wales, Alun Cairns MP for the Vale.
The visit was followed by two meetings in Cardiff Bay. The first, led by Mr Cairns and the Welsh Office, was attended by NFU Cymru officeholders and staff. The second round table meeting, organised by the Welsh Government and headed by Lesley Griffiths AM, Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs, was attended by NFU Cymru president, Stephen James.
Mr James said: "The visit and subsequent meetings, which were extremely positive and constructive, gave us the opportunity to impress upon Ms Leadsom the importance of trade and export markets, particularly as 90 per cent of our food and drink exports and over a third of our lamb crop is exported to the EU.
"Losing access to those markets, even if it was for a short period, or being hindered by tariffs or non-tariff barriers would be extremely damaging to Wales.
"We also spoke about future support and the need for parity with our counterparts across the UK and the EU. Another key part of the discussion was over the subject of labour and access to a reliable workforce."

"After having what was my first ..."
About: Whipps Cross University Hospital Whipps Cross University Hospital London E11 1NR
Posted by Anonymous (as ),
What I liked
After having what was my first Asthma attack i arrived at the hospital around 930am by car with my husband. I was almost immediatley taken through to triage to see a nurse and within minutes taken to a bed, changed into a gown and put onto a nebulizer. The staff were so efficient that this has all happened in the time it took my husband to park the car and come and find me. My asthma stabilised and i was allowed to go home at about 2pm.
Later that day my asthma got worse again and i went back to A&E, and again was immedialty taken through to triage and saw a nurse and a doctor. Although i had to wait slightly longer after about an hour i was in a bed, and taken for my second x-ray of the day.
I was later moved to the EMU where i stayed for two days. The staff there were very helpful, but obviously rushed off their feet. there did not appear to be enough nurses working on any of the shifts that i saw whilst in the hospital. (not there fault at all and they worked wonderfully as a team.)
The food was good during my stay, and the catering and cleaning staff where friendly. I saw cleaners throughout my stay on the EMU, and felt that the EMU was as clean as i would expect it to be.
What could be improved
Initially put into a mixed room, although later moved in a room with three other women. I accept that i was moved as soon as I could be.
Doctors did not appear to clean their hands or use the antibac gel between patients at any time during my stay.
Anything else?
In the last ten years i have visited Whipps everytime that my father was a paitent on Elizabeth ward, in ITU, the EMU A&E and have always found the staff to be friendly and helpful. There are times where they appear to be understaffed, but this could probably be said of any hospital.
When my father died in the EMU the doctors were excellent and explained everything to myself and my family.
I would have no hesitation in going to Whipps or of telling others of all the good experiences that i have had.
Response from Whipps Cross University Hospital 7 years ago
Thank you for yoru feedback.
Hand hygiene is a top priority for Whipps Cross and reflected in the very low rates of Hospital Acquired Infections across the hospital and there are regular interna campaigns to remind all staff of the importance of hand washing.

Debuted earlier this month during the Art Basel Miami Beach events, Joris Laarman's Bone chair takes its inspiration from the efficient way that bones grow (adding material where strength is needed and taking away material where it's unnecessary). Made using a digital tool developed by GM that copies these methods of construction, Laarman says the ironic result of his biomimetic technique is "an almost historic elegancy" that is "far more efficient compared to modern geometric shapes."

But in Nigeria, acquaintances say they cannot believe he is at the centre of such an incident. For many who knew him, they say Abdulmutallab became radicalised when he left the country to study in Yemen and they strongly reject any links between his actions and his childhood upbringing in Nigeria.

James E. Holmes (Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office / September 20, 2012)
Judge William Sylvester OKs 13 new charges against movie theater shooting suspect James E. Holmes. He will rule on whether victims' names should be resealed.
...Lisa Teesch-Maguire, who is working with the prosecution on behalf of victims, argued that victims, their families and potential witnesses have been harassed by the media and feel intimidated by a group of Holmes' followers who have launched a campaign insisting that he is innocent. They call themselves "Holmsies."..

That's an "interesting" picture.
Guy looks completely normal.
This is just sick!!! I have some standing in this case. My Grandson was shot by this bastard. He's still recovering but this low life should have never been arrested alive.

[SNPC/Magician] Sekimon Tomoe
Sekimon Tomoe
Adeptus402 "When death's doors open, I shall stride forward."
"I wonder, what expression will you make when you die?"
Adeptus402 "When death's doors open, I shall stride forward."
"I wonder, what expression will you make when you die?"
FULL NAME: Sekimon Tomoe
GENDER: Female
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: A schoolgirl with dark black hair and of an average stature, without any distinctive mannerisms or qualities. While she is normally quite unassuming, once she gets going she becomes absolutely terrifying. Without doubt, a monster wearing the skin of a lamb.
INFORMATION: In the beginning, Tomoe lived a perfectly normal life. She loved her family, enjoyed school, and looked forward to growing up in the same way all children do. But at the age of twelve, all that changed. While she was out of the house playing with friends, her parents had been killed by a robber who broke into the house. When she returned she discovered the bodies in the kitchen and simply stared in shock, with no idea how she should react. But the robber, who had yet to leave the house, had heard her open the door and went to investigate. When he found her, it was only due an extraordinarily lucky stab with a knife from the kitchen that she managed to avoid joining her family on the family on the floor. Up until this point, there hadn't been anything particularly odd about her reactions to these traumatic events. But as she stared at the bodies lying on the floor, questions came to her mind that no normal individual would have normally thought.
"What is it like to die?" She felt no fear over the dangerous situation she had just experienced, and not for a moment did the slightest of sorrows over the deaths of her family afflict her heart. All she felt was an intense sensation of curiosity, an intense desire to answer the question now that it had been asked. Perhaps this was the moment where she broke. If so, then one could say that she was not inherently evil, that she was not a monster since birth. However, the composition of the human known as Sekimon Tomoe was one such that, exposed to that stimulus, she would become such a thing. Where any of an uncountable number of reactions and transformations could have occurred, Tomoe became a monster.
In the aftermath of her family's death, custody was granted to her father's brother, who was a priest at a Buddhist temple in a different prefecture. Obsessed with the question she had asked on the day of the robbery, Tomoe had become quiet and withdrawn. Her uncle, mistaking it for depression and grief over her sudden loss, decided to give her something she could put effort into and hopefully allow her to distract herself from her sorrows. That something was magic. For the next four years, she devoted herself to her studies, and she made astounding leaps of progress. Whether it was due a latent talent or simply the result of her incredible efforts, there was no denying that her growth was astounding. The priests and her uncle, however, were happier that she seemed to have vacated the shell she had created after her family's deaths, completely unaware that this was actually because she saw hope in her study of magic that she could find her answer. If things had continued like that, then even broken as she was, a tragedy may not have occurred. But whether it was due to freak chance or if it was simply inevitable, one day she noticed something that caused an unimaginable change to occur.
It was nothing so significant that it would have compelled her to shout eureka. Rather, it was something incredibly simple that she hadn't thought to apply to her search, absorbed in studies as she was. Until then, she had simply thought, pondered, and meditated on the answer, like the philosophers of old. But if she really wanted an answer to the question, then there were several exceedingly simply methods that everyone born in a civilized country was taught at a young age. The scientific method. Trial and error. Experimentation. Practical testing. Upon noting that she had yet to try these methods, she began to plan their implementation. And with her question in mind, that implementation was terrifying indeed. Simply, she would observe deaths of all sorts and record any and all data she could. That alone was a morbid thought, but she did not stop there. Her inquisitiveness was not so weak that she would be satisfied with merely seeking out deaths to observe. Rather, she had every intention of creating deaths to observe.
Later, on her sixteenth birthday. All the priests had gathered in one place to celebrate. They ate cake, she received many presents, and it was all around a joyous event. But when it came time to open her gifts, instead of moving to tear the wrapping paper, she simply smiled. She smiled, and then she viciously, mercilessly, agonizingly slowly killed every single last one of them. Because of both her strength and the utter surprise of the assault, what little resistance they mustered was easily quashed. Throughout the entire ordeal, she carefully, meticulously recorded every last detail and asked countless questions of them. How did they feel? Were they in pain? Were they afraid? Sad? Did they just want to die? Her journal contained the answers to them all. And when the last one passed, she calmly cleaned up the mess she made, disposed of the bodies, raided their belongings for some supplies, and left town without care of whatever happened next.
Even today, she is wandering Japan, wondering what kind of death she wants to record next.
ABILITIES: The premise of the first of her two spells is simple. The first of the Four Noble Truths states that so long as one exists in the material plane, suffering is unavoidable and satisfaction impossible. Her spell, however, applies a twisted syllogistic logic to that truth. Continued existence in the material plane can be construed as, for a human being, life, and therefore 'life is suffering'. However, just as life is suffering, suffering is the proof of being alive. So, so long as you suffer, you cannot die, regardless of the state of your body. As a result of this spell, she has obtained powerful regenerative abilities whose potency correlate directly with the amount of pain she feels. If she is slowly crushed by a heavy boulder, then the intense pain and suffering would keep her alive and struggling even as the weight threatened to completely squash her. But if one were to swiftly snap her neck from behind, killing her before she even realized she had been attacked, then the lack of suffering would fail to trigger the activation of her spell. The spell is powerful enough that even if she were to be completely bisected, the amazing pain would allow her to heal even as her organs spilled from her stomach. As a truth is something that can be communicated to others, she can also apply this effect to others, though a laying of hands is required to sustain it.
Her second spell is based on the of the many Naraka of Buddhist mythology, which are the religion's rough equivalent of hell or purgatory. The Naraka that she bases her spell upon is the reviving Naraka, Sanjiva. There, whenever its inhabitants experience fear of being harmed by others, fiery hell guards appear and attack them with blazing weapons. Her spell has her assume the position of a hell guard, and dole out attacks of blazing fire whose heat is directly proportional to the amount of fear directed toward her. The intensity varies from the heat of matchstick at the very least to heat enough to rival the flames of Stiyl's Innocentius.

So my 22 year old boyfriend cancels dates on me after we had plan our dates for weeks , only because his mom needs help or wants to see him , yes he is a momma's boy. I understand that mothers need their sons help and it's sweet because right there it's shows that he loves and respects his mom , it's been said how a man treats his mom its the way he will treat his wife. But I dislike the fact that he always cancels on me just to spent time with mommy I mean come on this man is 22 years old , to old to be attached and crying for mommy. I DON'T LIKE HIS MOM. Obviously she hates me she always makes faces at me never says hi and she ask me to hand her the ketchup and she did not say thank you , one time my boyfriend had the brilliant idea for his mom , me and him to have lunch at Dennys , after lunch my boyfriend and I had plans to go to the movies after he had mentioned it to his mom about it , she was oh sweet but I tough you were going to Walmart with me to get groceries , That really bothered me bur I kept my mouth shut than my boyfriend was like will make it up for some other time. Then it was our anniversary we were goin to fridays and made reservasions and his mommy has the wonderful idea to like his 10 year old bro for my boyfriend to babysit honestly I had nough I am now thinking about breaking up with him. Now I understand why teresita so many wife's that hate there mother in laws. Man would you ditch your girlfriend for mommy? Would a mans mom come first before his family and wife?
Most Helpful Guy
LOL, totally agree with you! It also baffles me as why some guys puts their mom first. To a degree he should be, but there comes a time when your SO becomes more important. It becomes worse, like in your situation, when the mom also doesn't realize that one day the girlfriend will, "take over" looking after her son. Many moms feel threatened by this and have the attitude that you are "taking away her baby!" This is why she hates you for no good reason. For me personally, it is important to get along with the in-laws. Too much friction in your case and you would have to fight years of it should you stay together. I am not interested in friction, drama or stepping on egg shells to keep the peace. I would break up since he is obviously still putting mommy first and mommy would rather you not be there anyway!00|00|0

The right to give blood
Gay people face many challenges in society. Sometimes they have trouble adopting children or to get married. But these challenges also include their right to give blood. In fact, in some countries, gays are still not allowed to give blood. We may think that this happens in some far and developing country, but actually, it's happening in one of the most developed country: France. In France, since 1983 gays and bisexual are not allowed to give blood. They say, to justify this controversial la that gay people have sexual relationships, more often and more risky than other people, and that they are more at risk of transmitting AIDS. Every person that would go against this law can be subject to prosecution. This also applies to the lesbian community. The problem with this law is that it increases the risks. Sometimes gay people (maybe infected with AIDS) are going to hide the fact that they're having sexual relationships with other men. Many politicians thought this was an injustice but none of them actually did something. In 2007, the ex-minister of health Roselyne Bachelot-Narquin promess she would allow the gay community to give blood, but she never did it. In 2009, a survey showed that 76% of french people we're against this absurd law of not allowing gay people to give blood. The problem with this law is that it increases the risks. I personally think that this law is ridiculous. The risk is the practice, not the sexual orientation. Some heterosexuals are practicing risky sexual relationship, and they're still allowed to give blood. Without this exclusion, we would prevent risk, increase the number of blood give and the most important, we would save more lives!

But be sure your car doesn't have Onstar or a GPS transponder of any kind. And you might check with an auto-electronics shop to see what it'd take to get your onboard black box to stop recording your data for after-accident snooping by insurance and police dicks.
And don't insure the car with companies like Progressive that like to bug your car.

Swedish carmaker Volvo has unveiled the S90 Excellence Edition, a long Wheelbase variant version of the S90 with only three seats.
The S90 is based on the the long wheelbase version of the S90 which is called the S90 L. The Volvo S90 L was unveiled alongside the Excellence Edition in Shanghai.
Both the S90 L and the S90 Excellence Edition are 120mm longer than the normal S90 sedan.
The S90 Excellence Edition, which will only be made available in China, replaces the the front passenger seat with an infotainment system along with more space for the passenger sitting on the back seat diagonally opposite to the driver.
The seat replacement module is what Volvo calls the Lounge Console. The Lounge console includes the aforementioned infotainment system along with a small space for the passenger to store items like shoes.
Volvo has made use of a lot of high quality material for the interiors of the car to ensure that owners get a more luxurious experience.
In addition, Volvo has also made numerous accessories available for the China exclusive car including folding tables, a heating/cooling cup holder, refrigerator with bottle and glass holders, and handmade crystal glasses from Swedish glass design firm Orrefors.
The S90 Excellence is powered by Volvo's T8 Twin engine hybrid powertrain which combines a 2.0-litre supercharged and turbocharged four-cylinder engine with an electric motor to produce 401bhp. Volvo's T4 & T5 engines are the options available.
Volvo has thrown its whole host of safety features into the car including its Large Animal Detection system, which can spot animals such as deer and cows and apply the brakes to avoid an accident.
Volvo has also added its semi autonomous Pilot Assist to the car which allows the car to drive itself at speed up to at speeds of up to 130km/h.

Chevy Chase's 'Community' Boss Apologizes for His "Unclassy Move"
On March 31, Community fans experienced a communal panic attack when a story hit about series creator Dan Harmon's and star Chevy Chase's allegedly explosive feud. After an array of contentious behavior by both parties, Harmon is finally taking steps to mend this trauma — and to help his beloved series' fans rest a bit more easily: the creator/show runner has published an apology on his Tumblr.
The fight began after Chase walked off set during taping of an episode; Harmon responded by insulting Chase in front of the cast and crew and Chase's wife and daughter, which provoked an angry voicemail by Chase — which Harmon publicized at a comedy show at Meltdown Comics in Hollywood. The recording eventually reached the Internet, inspiring some interviews with Chase that suggested he might not return to Community if it gets a fourth season. Thus: widespread paranoia and depression on behalf of the Community-addicted populace.
But this is the first piece of promising news in the development. Last night, April 3, Harmon took to his Tumblr to an apology and explanation for his behaviors:
"The people that I really want to apologize to are the fans of the show. If you want to know what's on my mind that I consider worth the attention of five million people, that's the place to look, Thursdays at 8 on TV. Those are the stories and the jokes and observations about life and personal confessions that I intend for that large a venue."
There is also a monthly show I do in the back of a comic book store in Los Angeles in which I say things that I intend for 150 people to hear … It was in that venue, months ago, that I made the horrible, childish, self-obsessed, unaware, naive and unprofessional decision to play someone's voicemail to me … I was thinking about myself and I was thinking about making people laugh. I was airing my dirty laundry for a chuckle … That was a dumb, unclassy, inconsiderate move on my part. I'm very sorry it's reflecting poorly on the show."
You can read the complete statement on Harmon's Tumblr. Considering the fact that Harmon's apologies are not specifically directed at Chase, fans might wonder if the actor will consider this enough of an effort to make amends with his show runner. Either way, it's a step in the right direction — hopefully, both (historically difficult) men will be able to settle their differences and continue making television's best sitcom for, as Harmon pledges, "six seasons and a movie."
Community airs Thursday nights at 8 PM ET/PT on NBC.

Cornmeal Chicken Parmesan
Recipe by Lainey39
The cornmeal really gives this chicken parmesan a Southern twist. Recipe is from Paula Deen.
Top Review by Mandy
I normally buy already breaded fillets to make chicken parmigiana but decided to do it this way for a change. The dressing mix gives a lovely flavour to the coating & the corn meal is great, makes the chicken look amazing. I also added some sliced tomato on top of the sauce, I usually add ham too but didn't have any. This was lovely, DH & toddler DD gobbled this up, oh & me! Thanks Lainey!!

The extension will also allow the committee to advise DOD in its planning of a potential second phase of U.S.-Russian collaborative research on dangerous pathogens. I commend you for your superb work of the past year and for your fine report, Controlling Dangerous Pathogens. You have given the U.S. government a thoughtful and effective framework for continued U.S.-Russian engagement in collaborative research on pathogens of BW concern. If you have any questions about your appointment or other matters relating to the committee, I suggest that you contact Dr. John Boright, Executive Director of the Office of International Affairs; his number is 202-334-2800.

No Evidence of Injury Required: Spokeo Loses Appeal in FCRA Claim
March 26, 2014
You may already know that Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) litigation has picked up some steam over the past year. While recent class actions continue to grab the headlines, an appellate ruling in a four-year-old case is causing a buzz.
Injury In Fact?
Spokeo makes an encore appearance here in BTW as the defendant in a case that has been festering in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. It's an FCRA case, and the issue is damages.
The last time we checked in with Spokeo, the company was losing the battle with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over whether or not it was a consumer reporting agency that could be held accountable for providing employment reports under the FCRA. The company paid a substantial fine ($800K) for its trouble, and was sued for allegedly reporting misinformation to employers and recruiters on its website.
A complaint, originally brought by Thomas Robins on behalf of a class of similarly situated individuals, alleged that inaccurate information on Spokeo's website was a "willful" violation of the FCRA. Spokeo was initially successful in arguing that the plaintiff's claims were without merit since Robins, while admittedly unemployed, had not suffered any "actual or imminent harm"—a required element of a cause of action under the statute. Read more about that decision almost two years ago here.
At long last we have a decision on the appeal. In a surprising decision, the appellate court overturned the decision, lowering the threshold of actual damages for future FCRA claims.
How low, you ask?
How about NO damages? Zero. Zip. It doesn't get much lower than that.
The Facts About Mr. Robins
Robins alleged that his Spokeo profile included a laundry list of inaccuracies: wrong age, wrong marital status, and wrong photo. Not all of the information was negative or even unflattering. Interestingly, the website reported that he had a graduate degree (he did not), that his economic health was "very strong" and that his "wealth level" was in the "top 10%"—all false, according to the plaintiff.
Call me crazy, but if I found out that a website was misleading the world into thinking I was a member of the highly paid, elite, upper echelon of society, I might not complain. But Robins made a good point—while being financially stable is not considered a negative (at least by most people), it doesn't exactly help your job prospects to have a web site touting your great wealth. The unemployed Robins claimed that the inaccurate information was costing him jobs, "causing actual harm to Plaintiff's employment prospects" as well as "anxiety, stress, concern and/or worry about his diminished employment prospects."
The Appellate Decision
Spokeo argued throughout the litigation that Robins had no claim under the FCRA because he made no showing of actual harm. But the Appellate court found otherwise. It held that because the allegations were for willful violations and statutory damages, and statutory causes of action do not require a showing of actual harm when a plaintiff sues for willful violations, no actual harm was needed.
The court cited the statute's language at 15 U.S.C. § 1681n(a):
Any person who willfully fails to comply with any requirement imposed under this subchapter with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to . . . damages of not less than $100 and not more than $1,000 . . . .").[i]
The court's decision hinged on the claim of willful violations and a claim for statutory damages only. It completely sidestepped the issue of whether Robin's alleged harm to his employment prospects or related anxiety could be sufficient injuries in fact. Robins and Spokeo now go back to the drawing board—in district court.
Word to the wise: This case is sure to add fuel to the fire for FCRA claims, opening the door for additional plaintiffs making claims for willful violations without having suffered any actual harm or injury in fact.

STUART SHERMAN: Nothing Up My Sleeveby Jen Schwarting
Participant, Inc.,
November 8 – December 20, 2009
The comedian Andy Kaufman famously quipped "What's real? What's not?" in describing his own challenging, ingenious, and highly subjective form of comedy. "That's what I do in my act, test how other people deal with reality." Testing reality and the limits of public understanding through humor, performance, illusion, and spectacle is the subject of a magnificent group show at Participant Inc. Jonathan Berger, who organized the exhibition, includes the work of Andy Kaufman and a number of ground-breaking performers, entertainers, collectives, and artists in a multi-disciplinary exhibition, Stuart Sherman: Nothing Up My Sleeve.
Stuart Sherman was an under-recognized, New York-based artist who experimented in film, video, and performance for three decades until his death in 2001. The photographs and videos on view, dated primarily from the late 1970s, chronicle Sherman's "Spectacles"— ironically-named performances that mimicked the design and set-up of a small magic show without the show-stopping delivery. He performed on a portable tabletop, propped open on the sidewalk—or in the park, or someone's apartment—displaying an array of everyday household items, like plastic cups and rolls of masking tape. Sherman arranged, stacked, and manipulated the objects, creating his own system of logic and timing without any punch line, sleight-of-hand, disappearance, or conclusion. His performances were non-sensical, driven in part by the artist's desire to show, even when there was nothing spectacular to see.
The most transparent part of Sherman's act was his dedication to his practice, creating his own visual language and pushing its form, working for an audience with little concern for popularity or acceptance. His attitude is echoed by the other performers and artists in the exhibition. Andy Kaufman is a fascinating case in point, an artist who turned a successful TV sitcom career into a series of intellectually disarming, frustrating, offensive, and widely misunderstood appearances and events. He mined literature and gender politics, reading from F. Scott Fitzgerald and wrestling women, acts that made him deeply unpopular, even shunned, until his sudden death from lung cancer in 1984. Items from his personal archive are displayed in the show—photographs, notebooks, transcendental meditation materials, and a box of 45" records that includes late-1950s teen pop stars like Fabian and Brenda Lee—demonstrating Kaufman's genuinely idiosyncratic personal vision, far outside of taste or fashion.
The combination of music and gender politics is overtly addressed in the work of Vaginal Davis, whose drag-queen performances humorously and aggressively attacked racial and sexual taboos. "The History of Vaginal Davis" is a series of framed photographs and letters spanning two decades, from 1980 to the present, documenting Davis in elaborate get-ups, wigs, ball-gowns, and Army fatigues, personifying outrageously polarizing figures, like white supremacists. Here the "history" of her career is complicated and contested in letters written by the leaders of the 90s underground music scene, notably riot grrrl Kathleen Hanna, who weigh-in on Davis's hilarious fake-band Black Fag. It is impossible to discern "what's real" through multiple layers of fiction and parody, yet questions of identity are broached through the act of erasing all traces of the self.
Spectacle and performance serve as a path to the self, and an escape from it. The greatest escape-artist of all time, Harry Houdini, makes an appearance in black-and-white photographs on loan from the Library of Congress. The images capture the beloved entertainer defying death, dangling straight-jacketed from a window, or shackled in a crate floating in the New York Bay. On the opposing wall, a jacket and trousers complete a luxurious, gold-spun suit—an outfit that the artist James Lee Byars wore to practice his own death. It is a smart juxtaposition of two performers separated by generation and genre, equally dedicated to craftsmanship, skill, and aura, perfecting the art of disappearance.
As just one of many masterful surprises in the show, humor and illusion pop up in architecture. Three different "BEST" department stores, designed and built in the 1970s by the collective SITE Projects, are documented in color photographs. The buildings' elaborate designs were commissioned by the chain's wealthy, enterprising, and art-collecting owners. SITE created facades that, amazingly, simulated each store in a state of entropy—crumbling, peeling or with a cracked foundation. The story of BEST owners and their unquestioning support of their architects is described in the pages of the exhibition catalog, a significant document containing essays contributed by Molly McGarry, Bérénice Reynaud and Mark Bradford. Additional works by Carol Bove, Matthew Brannon, and many others are summarized in Jonathan Berger's thoughtful, well-researched, and intermittently personal accounts of each artist's practice. Nothing Up My Sleeve reveals an esoteric visual and cultural history, and is nothing short of extraordinary.

FLA Finds Overtime/Pay/Safety Violations at Apple's Foxconn Plants in China

Tim Cook visits a Foxconn factory in China
(Source: cultofmac.com)
The FLA is working to fix these issues with reduced overtime, better compensation and elected employee representatives
Apple has been in some hot water since January when
The New York Times
published an article about the unfair treatment of workers
in the company's suppliers' factories in China, but Apple's voluntary submission to the Fair Labor Association's (FLA) rigorous inspections is beginning to turn the situation around.
The FLA recently investigated three different Foxconn factories in China where Apple products are made. After spending 3,000 staff hours watching 35,000 workers, the FLA found that there were indeed some violations that needed to be addressed. Among those violations were
overtime, pay and health-related issues
The FLA discovered that Foxconn employees were working beyond the Chinese legal limits of 40 hours per week and 36 hours maximum overtime per month over the last year. Many employees worked over 60 hours per week (especially during peak production periods), and worked more than seven days in a row without the 24 hours off that is required.
Both Apple and Foxconn have agreed to comply with the FLA's changes, which will be to decrease working hours to 49 per week (including overtime) and reducing monthly overtime hours from 80 to 36. Also, overtime payment, which is typically paid in 30-minute increments, will change for the better. Traditionally, a worker had to work 30 minutes for overtime, but if they worked 29 minutes, they wouldn't receive the overtime payment. IF they worked 59 minutes, they only received 30 minutes of overtime payment. Workers will now be compensated for the time they work, not just in 30-minute increments.
For those employees that depend on the income that came from extended overtime, Foxconn will offer a compensation package to prevent workers from losing income due to decreased overtime.
Aside from overtime, 64 percent of Foxconn workers said their general pay did not meet basic needs, such as the cost of living in their respective cities. The FLA is now investigating if that is the case.
The FLA also interviewed employees about their working conditions, and 43 percent said they have witnessed or experienced an accident. Accidents ranged from minor injuries to factory vehicle accidents, and safety issues like missing permits and blocked exits were taken care of during the investigation. The FLA also requires supervisors and workers to report all injuries now; not just those that end in a production stoppage.
In addition, the FLA found that workers were being represented strictly by management, but changed this by electing worker representatives to speak for the others.
"If implemented, these commitments will significantly improve the lives of more than 1.2 million Foxconn employees and set a new standard for Chinese factories," said Auret van Heerden, FLA president and CEO.
The investigation came after
Apple voluntarily joined the FLA
, following the negative
report that cited poor working conditions for Foxconn employees who made Apple products. Apple CEO
Tim Cook was outraged by the
, which accused his company of not caring about its supplier's employees overseas.
After joining the FLA, van Heerden initially reported in February that Apple's Foxconn plants were not so bad after all. In fact, he said
they were "first class,"
and that the workers were just bored with the monotony of their jobs, which led to the accidents in the factories. Now, it seems the opposite is true and the workers were in fact pushed to their limits.
However, Apple has made a valid effort to check out the situation in China. Just this week, Cook visited its
latest iPhone factory in Zhengzhou, China
, where 120,000 employees work.
Apple and Foxconn agreed to meet FLA working standards/Chinese legal limits by July 2013.

Jenkins to lead strong lineup for ABC broadcasts
Page to call race coverage with Goodyear; Gerould joins Arute, Welch on pit road
INDIANAPOLIS, Monday, Jan. 14, 2002 - ABC Sports, the network of the Indy Racing League and home of the prestigious Indianapolis 500, announced Jan. 14 that veteran broadcaster Bob Jenkins has been promoted to host of its coverage of the Indianapolis 500 and the IRL.
Jenkins will lead the strongest broadcast lineup in televised motorsports, with longtime ABC announcer Paul Page calling the race action, former Indy Racing driver Scott Goodyear offering race analysis, and Gary Gerould joining Jack Arute and Vince Welch as pit reporters.
"I am very pleased to promote Bob (Jenkins) to the host position because he is the pre-eminent voice in auto racing," said Howard Katz, president, ABC Sports. "Paul adds years of experience to the team, while Scott will provide us with a very unique perspective as a former IRL driver. Along with top pit reporters Jack Arute, Gary Gerould and Vince Welch, we have assembled one of the most talented and experienced broadcast teams in the industry."
The versatile Jenkins has served as host and/or anchor for a wide variety of auto racing circuits, including the Indianapolis 500, IRL and IROC on ABC, NASCAR Winston Cup and Busch Grand National telecasts on ABC and ESPN, and Formula One and IMSA.
Page, one of the most recognizable voices in motorsports, has covered a variety of series during his 25-year career, including the Indianapolis 500, IRL, IROC and the NASCAR Winston Cup Series.
As a member of ABC's IRL team, two-time Indianapolis 500 runner-up Goodyear will return to the Brickyard. He placed second to Al Unser Jr. in 1992 at Indianapolis by .043 of a second, the closest finish in Indy history. Goodyear recorded three victories during his Indy Racing League career with 17 top-five finishes in 39 starts.
Gerould is a veteran pit reporter who also has done play by play for the National Football League, among others. Arute, who joined ABC in 1984, is the network's top auto racing pit reporter and one of its top college football sideline reporters. Welch, who is also an accomplished play-by-play announcer in the Midwest, has emerged as one of television's top pit reporters in just a few short seasons with ABC.
ABC Sports will broadcast 10 Indy Racing events this season, beginning at 1 p.m. (EST) Saturday, March 2 from Homestead-Miami Speedway. The network's schedule is highlighted by the prestigious Indianapolis 500, which airs from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. (EDT) Sunday, May 26.
