Four days and counting. But who's counting? President Barack Obama for one.
That's how long before government-wide budget cuts begin to hit home that will slash spending by roughly $85 billion over the next seven months.
And more are on the way if Congress and the president can't figure out how to replace Friday's indiscriminate autopilot cuts — called a "sequester" in government jargon — with more targeted measures.
Obama told the nation's governors on Monday, "Unfortunately, in just four days Congress is poised to allow serious and arbitrary automatic budget cuts to kick in that will slow our economy, eliminate good jobs and leave a lot of folks who are already pretty thinly stretched scrambling to figure out what to do."
The two parties remain far apart. Obama insists on both spending cuts and higher tax revenue through trimming deductions and loopholes used mostly by the wealthy. Republicans see that as a tax increase and are balking.
So Democrats and Republicans are hurling accusations at each other as Congress returns from a nine-day recess and members begin to focus on the next manufactured fiscal deadline — March 27, by which time lawmakers must pass legislation to keep the entire government operating.
Obama is painting as gloomy a picture as possible of the impending cuts, even though they represent a relatively small percentage of the government's $3.5 trillion budget.
Over the weekend, the White House put out lists of how the cuts would affect individual states.
Everybody hates the sequester — former Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Alan Blinder jokes "that's Latin for 'cutting federal spending stupidly'" — but nobody's yet figured how to make it go away.
And, actually, the cuts — together with other deficit-reducing steps by Obama and Congress over the past year and a slowly recovering economy — are contributing to an improvement in the government's budget picture.
For the first time in four years, the budget deficit is on course to sink below $1 trillion.

Watch Mad Men Reimagined As The O.C.
California, California, here we come.
[UPDATE: This video is no longer available.] At the end of this season of Mad Men, not everyone wanted to stay put among the skyscrapers of Manhattan. A few, in fact, were looking to head west: Don, Megan, Stan, and Ted each had his or her eyes set on California. What if they all went? What if they left the rest of SC&P behind and headed off? Maybe grabbed a surfboard or two, and decided to let the beachy vibes of Los Angeles take control? Then this would have to be the opening credits of the revamped show, channeling everyone's favorite Orange County–set series. California, California, here we come.

All in all? A curious preachment yarn for peace, one which makes you wonder if the filmmakers couldn't wait to get to the climactic aerial dogfights.

It's an unconventional premise: that aliens live in harmony and humans are the warmonger invaders. But it's not that simple.
Tentle, dreamy animated sci-fi tale.
The animation is splendid on what must have been, since this is not a studio film, a modest budget.
The animation is nicely stylized and the color palette well-chosen, although the humans are so square-jawed, they make Dick Tracy look like Andy Gump. The voice performances are persuasive. The obvious drawback is that the film is in 3-D. If you can find a theater showing it in 2-D, seek it out.

OK for kids 8+
Animated space adventure tackles war, complex themes.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that even though it's animated and targeted at kids, this sci-fi adventure deals with some very mature themes, including extinction, colonization, unprovoked war, and even a suicide bombing of sorts (the incident involves a main character and is presented as a noble sacrifice). The violence is more prominent than in most animated films and is similar to what you'd see in a movie like The Clone Wars -- animated, yes, but still disturbing. On the other hand, there are many positive lessons about environmental preservation, cross-cultural awareness, and peaceful negotiation, and there's no sex, language, or drinking to worry about. (Note: Some theaters are showing this movie in 3D, which adds an extra level of intensity.)
Messages: Good-guy characters model positive traits like courage, bravery, and sacrifice. Other messages include the importance of environmentalpreservation, cross-cultural awareness, and peaceful negotiation. The Terrians believe in being peaceful and close to nature, but they'll also defend themselves when attacked.
Violence and scariness: An Earth Force general wants to wipe out the Terrians so that humans can have their planet. His actions lead to many, many casualties on both sides. Opposing forces shoot at each other from battleships, and there are several explosions that result in deaths, as well as deaths from poison in the air. One main character's death is presented as an act of "noble suicide" -- but it also kills many people.
Sexy stuff: Best friends flirt and embrace.
Language: Very infrequent; one use of "damn" and one "God."
Consumerism: Not applicable
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Not applicable

AIDS Cases Down by 25 Percent in NYC
September 19, 2011
There is some good news about the AIDS epidemic.
Statistics released Sept. 16 show AIDS diagnoses in the Big Apple have decreased over the past eight years.
The number of adults newly diagnosed with AIDS dropped to 2,225 in the 2011 fiscal year, which ended June 30. That total was 25 percent lower than the total the year before (2,969 cases diagnosed), and 47 percent lower than in the 2003 fiscal year, when there were 4,164 new cases, according to the Mayor's Management Report, which was released Friday.
Sweeny also told the Times that new HIV infections in New York City were most common in men under 30, especially black and Latino MSM; black women; and to a lesser extent Latino women.

Set of tools for Flight Dynamics Mission Analysis
By Alain Lamy, CNES
Flight Dynamics mission analysis implies (at least) two kinds of activities:
- The use of existing and validated software for recurrent and everyday questions,
- The development of new tools (or the adaptation of existing ones) in order to solve new problems.
Managing reference software while enabling a high level of flexibility in the way they can be reused or modified has proved not easy at all in practice.
A solution based on Scilab has been developed. The presentation will explain the underlying principles that drive the solution and will demonstrate its effectiveness through typical examples.

They mainly fund travel, graduate study, or independent research abroad. Some, however, fund graduate study in the U.S.; one supports a research job at a major think tank; and another rewards candidates for excellent work in the STEM fields.

By Kathryn Kopchik
LEWISBURG, Pa. — Acclaimed Bharatanatyam dancer and choreographer Aparna Ramaswamy will present "Sannidhi (Sacred Space)" on Thursday, Sept. 19, at 7:30 p.m. in the Weis Center for the Performing Arts at Bucknell University.
In five sections, "Sannidhi" weaves together music and movement, rhythm and lyric, spirit and emotion, creating an invisible link between dancer, musicians and audience.
The performance will feature music played by four musicians: Ranee Ramaswamy on cymbals; Lalit Subramaniam, vocals; Rajna Swaminathan on two-headed south Indian drum; and Anjna Swaminathan, on violin.
In advance of the performance, Ramaswamy will give a free one-hour lecture and demonstration of the Bharatanatyam dance form and Indian music on Wednesday, Sept. 18, at noon in the Weis Center Lobby.
Bharatanatyam blends two distinct components: rhythmic dance, comprising various complex body movements and rhythmic compositions, and narrative dance, which utilizes the language of gesture and facial expression.
Ramaswamy has toured extensively, both as a soloist and as choreographer and principal dancer of Ragamala Dance, of which she is co-artistic director with her mother, Ranee Ramaswamy.
Her choreography and performance have been described as "a marvel of buoyant agility and sculptural clarity" (Dance Magazine), "thrillingly three-dimensional" and "an enchantingly beautiful dancer" (The New York Times).
In 2010, Ramaswamy was the first Bharatanatyam dancer/choreographer to be named one of Dance Magazine's "25 to Watch," in which was written, "At once iconic and explosive, Aparna Ramaswamy infuses the formal rigor of Bharatanatyam with fluid spontaneity and rock star allure."
Tickets for the performance are $20 for adults, $16 for seniors ages 62+, $10 for youth under 18, and $10 for all college students.
Tickets can be purchased online at http://www.bucknell.edu/BoxOffice or by calling the Campus Box Office at 570-577-1000.
Tickets are also available in person from several locations including the Weis Center lobby weekdays 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; the Barnes & Noble at Bucknell University bookstore in Lewisburg weekdays and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday, 12:30 to 4 p.m.; and the CAP Center Box Office, located on the ground floor of the Elaine Langone Center, weekdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The presentation of Aparna Ramaswamy, "Sannidhi (Sacred Space)" was made possible by the MetLife Community Connections Fund of the New England Foundation for the Arts' National Dance Project. Major support for NDP is also provided by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
For more information about this performance, contact Lisa Leighton, marketing and outreach director, at 570-577-3727 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The next performance in the Weis Center's 2013-14 Series is LEO, The Anti-Gravity Show on Sept. 24 at 7:30 p.m. at the Weis Center. Tickets for the performance are $20 for adults, $16 for seniors ages 62+, $10 for youth under 18, and $10 for all college students.

Executive Compensation
|This article is part of WikiProject Definitions. Consider editing to improve it. View articles referencing this definition.
Executive Compensation (Pay), is financial compensation received by an officer of a firm. It is typically a mixture of salary, bonuses, shares of and/or call options on the company stock, benefits, and perquisites, ideally configured to take into account government regulations, tax law, the desires of the organization and the executive, and rewards for performance.Over the past three decades, executive pay has risen dramatically relative to that of an average worker's wage in the United States, and to a lesser extent in some other countries. Observers differ as to whether this rise is a natural and beneficial result of competition for scarce business talent that can add greatly to stockholder value in large companies, or a socially harmful phenomenon brought about by social and political changes that have given executives greater control over their own pay.Executive pay is an important part of corporate governance, and is often determined by a company's board of directors.
Levels of compensation
The levels of compensation in all countries has been rising dramatically over the past decades. Not only is it rising in absolute terms, but also in relative terms. In 2007, the world's highest paid chief executive officers and chief financial officers were American. They made 400 times more than average workers -- a gap 20 times bigger than it was in 1965.The U.S. has the world's highest CEO's compensation relative to manufacturing production workers. According to one 2005 estimate the U.S. ratio of CEO's to production worker pay is 39:1 compared to 31.8:1 in UK; 25.9:1 in Italy; 24.9:1 in New Zealand.
The explosion in executive pay has become controversial, criticized by not only leftists but conservative establishmentarians such as Ben Bernanke and George W. Bush
The idea that stock options and other alleged pay-for-performance are driven by economics has also been questioned.
Defenders of high executive pay say that the global war for talent and the rise of private equity firms can explain much of the increase in executive pay. For example, while in conservative Japan a senior executive has few alternatives to his current employer, in the United States it is acceptable and even admirable for a senior executive to jump to a competitor, to a private equity firm, or to a private equity portfolio company. Portfolio company executives take a pay cut but are routinely granted stock options for ownership of ten percent of the portfolio company, contingent on a successful tenure. Rather than signaling a conspiracy, defenders argue, the increase in executive pay is a mere byproduct of supply and demand for executive talent. However, U.S. executives make substantially more than their European and Asian counterparts.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has asked publicly traded companies to disclose more information explaining how their executives' compensation amounts are determined. The SEC has also posted compensation amounts on its website to make it easier for investors to compare compensation amounts paid by different companies. It is interesting to juxtapose SEC regulations related to executive compensation with Congressional efforts to address such compensation.
A company is required to file its annual proxy statement with the SEC no later than the date proxy materials are first sent or given to shareholders. You can see this filing by using the SEC's database, known as EDGAR. To access the EDGAR database, go to the SEC's web site - www.sec.gov - and find the section entitled "Filings and Forms (EDGAR)." Click on "Search for Company Filings." When you get to the screen entitled "Search EDGAR Database," click on "Companies and Other Filers." Then enter the name of the company and then click "Find Companies." Select the appropriate company to view its SEC filings.
Click Here: SEC Website [1]
To view the annual proxy statement, select the most recent filing that has the title "DEF 14A." It's called a "DEF 14A" because it's the "definitive," or final, proxy statement. "14A" refers to the fact that proxy statements are filed pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Department of Labor
Employment Standards Administration Wage and Hour Division Washington, D.C. 20210
June 23, 2006 Dear Name*:
This is in response to your request for an opinion on behalf of your client, a franchisee association. A number of association members have stated they have experienced problems with the application of the section 7(i) (copy enclosed) exemption of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The association maintains that this exemption eliminates the requirement to pay overtime to many of its members' service technicians. You are requesting clarification as to the application of the 7(i) retail and service exemption to association members if they can produce the appropriate supporting documentation of eligibility for this exemption. You state that the following facts are common to the majority of association members, unless otherwise noted: • Each association member has a franchise agreement with a corporation under which a member may use the corporate marks in connection with plumbing repair services and pipe inspection services, and may utilize licensed plumbers or secure licensing as plumbing contractors for the limited purpose of performing plumbing repair services; Association members do not install bathrooms, kitchens, or laundry rooms in new construction or remodeled construction; Most customers contact association members on an as-needed emergency or other basis, with no contract in place at the time of the call to the association member; Service technicians provide manual labor (such as opening clogged drains using specialized equipment) and sell corporate products (such as drain cleaners) to customers. The mix of sales/service varies on a job-to-job basis; Although the mix of customers served varies among association members, the bulk of the members' customers are residential customers, who are the final users of sewer, drain, and pipe cleaning services, as well as septic tank cleaning services, plumbing repair services, and pipe inspection services; Some association members also provide services to commercial locations such as restaurants or apartment buildings; By virtue of the nature of the sales and services provided, none of the sales and services by service technicians are for resale; Association members advertise their services to the general public in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, billboards, radio spots, telephone books, and participation in televised events such as the Tournament of Roses Parade; Service technicians are generally paid on a commission basis for service provided and for sales of product. More than one-half of their compensation comes from commission payments; The equivalent hourly rate of pay computed from such commission payments exceeds one and one-half times the minimum hourly wage of $5.15 per hour; and

Most association members meet the 75% of volume test, but acknowledge that individual members must provide appropriate documentation to prove they are meeting the test.
Section 7(i) of the FLSA provides an exemption from the overtime pay requirement for any employee of a retail or service establishment if: 1. The regular rate of pay of such employee is in excess of one and one-half times the minimum wage, $5.15 per hour; and, 2. more than half of the employee's compensation for a representative period (not less than one month) are from commissions on goods or services. A "retail or service establishment" is defined as "an establishment 75 per centum of whose annual dollar volume of sales of goods or services (or of both) is not for resale and is recognized as retail sales or services in the particular industry." 29 C.F.R. § 779.411. A retail or service establishment is one which sells goods or services to the general public and serves the everyday needs of the community in which it is located. See 29 C.F.R. § 719.318(a). It "performs a function in the business organization of the Nation which is at the very end of the stream of distribution, disposing in small quantities of the products and skills of such organization and does not take part in the manufacturing process . . . It provides the general public its repair services and other services for the comfort and convenience of such public in the course of its daily living." 29 C.F.R. § 779.318(a); see also Wage and Hour Opinion Letter November 9, 2004 (copy enclosed). Additionally, the regulations state: Certain business establishments engage in the retail sale to the general public, as goods are delivered to purchases at a stipulated price, of items such as certain plumbing and heating equipment, electrical fixtures and supplies and fencing and siding for residential installation. In addition to selling the goods they may also install, at an additional charge, the goods which are sold. Installation which is incidental to a retail sale (as distinguished from a construction or reconstruction contract to do a building alteration, or repair job at a contract price for materials and labor required...) is considered an exempt activity. By way of example, if the installation for the customer of such goods sold to him at retail requires only minor carpentry, plumbing or electrical work (as may be the case where ordinary plumbing fixtures, or household items such as stoves, garbage disposals, attic fans, or window air conditioners are being installed or replaced), or where only labor of the type required for the usual installation of chain link fences around a home or small business establishment is involved, will normally be considered as incidental to the retail sale of the goods involved (unless, of course, the transaction between the parties is for a construction job at an overall price for the job, involving no retail sales of goods as such). 29 C.F.R. § 779.321(d). Thus, while construction contractors, plumbing contractors, and other similar contractors lack a retail concept, companies that provide general repair services for the public (such as auto repair shops, household refrigerator repair shops and clock repair shops) can qualify as retail or service establishments. See 29 C.F.R. §§ 779.317-.321. Such repair services may qualify under section 7(i) even when they are sometimes performed for a commercial user rather than a homeowner, so long as the commercial repair services do not require the use of specialized facilities or equipment and the services are not different services than those provided for the general consuming public. See 29 C.F.R. §§ 779.318(b), .329; Wage and Hour Opinion Letters July 14, 1982 and October 19, 1981 (copies enclosed). The information you have provided indicates that many association members are service companies rather than plumbing contractors. The members are providing plumbing services that serve the everyday needs of the community. Plumbing contractors, on the other hand, are primarily
Page 2 of 3
U.S. Department of Labor
Employment Standards Administration Wage and Hour Division Washington, D.C. 20210
engaged in home construction and remodeling projects involving major structural or installation work. The types of services your members provide are more akin to a repair shop than a plumbing contractor. See 29 C.F.R § 779.314. Therefore, if 75% or more of a particular member's annual dollar volume of sales of goods and services is not for resale and constitutes retail sales or services, the member would meet the definition of retail or service establishment for purposes of the section 7(i) exemption. The section 7(i) exemption may thus be applied to employees of such members if the employee's regular rate of pay is in excess of one and one-half times the minimum wage, $5.15 per hour, and more than half of the employee's compensation for a representative period (not less than one month) represents commissions on goods or services. Whether the employee's earnings will, in fact, qualify as commissions within the meaning of section 7(i) of the FLSA will, of course, depend upon the details of the compensation plan, and an evaluation of the employee's compensation over a "representative period." This opinion is based exclusively on the facts and circumstances described in your request and is given based on your representation, express or implied, that you have provided a full and fair description of all the facts and circumstances that would be pertinent to our consideration of the question presented. Existence of any other factual or historical background not contained in your letter might require a conclusion different from the one expressed herein. You have represented that this opinion is not sought by a party to pending private litigation concerning the issue addressed herein. You have also represented that this opinion is not sought in connection with an investigation or litigation between a client or firm and the Wage and Hour Division or the Department of Labor. Sincerely,

MCKINNEY, Texas (AP) – Justin Bolli closed with a 6-under 65 on Sunday to win the Web.com Tour Championship, making him one of three players who moved into the top 25 on the money list to earn a PGA Tour card for next season.
Bolli was No. 44 on the money list going into the Web.com Tour's final event of the year. He earned $180,000 to move to No. 9 with his two-shot victory over James Hahn, who birdied the last hole for a 69. The top 25 on the money list earned PGA Tour cards.
Hahn was No. 13 and virtually a lock to secure a PGA Tour card going into the last round. But his final hole determined the fate of two players.
Adam Hadwin of Canada closed with a 65, getting up-and-down from behind the green on the par-5 18th at the TPC Craig Ranch for one last birdie. He was projected to go from No. 48 to No. 25 on the money list and earn his tour card if he stayed in a three-way tie for second with Hahn and Morgan Hoffman, who closed with a 64.
Hahn's second shot into the 18th went well right of the green and onto a cart path. He took a free drop, and then lofted a chip that stopped just inside 3 feet away. Hahn knocked in the short birdie putt to finish in second place by himself. Hadwin, who would have made $74,667 for a three-way tie for second, earned $58,000 for his two-way tie for third. The difference was enough to allow Jim Herman to finish 25th on the money list.
Hoffman, who started the year with no status on the Web.com Tour, was No. 31 on the money list and easily cracked the top 25 to graduate to the big leagues. Doug LaBelle was at No. 26 and tied for 13th to move into the top 25.
"I attacked very well today,'' Hoffman said after posting the lowest score Sunday. "It worked out great. I'm sitting here happy now. I feel like I have to go to a Monday qualifier, it's so ingrained what I've been doing the last year-and-a-half. It just feels great.''
Hudson Swafford (23), Joseph Bramlett (24) and Camilo Benedetti (25) fell out of the top 25. Their next stop will be Q-school for PGA Tour cards. Bendetti wound at No. 26, $940 behind Herman.
Bolli finished on 16-under 268.
Hadwin played bogey-free and knew where he stood after he finished. He went out to the 18th green to watch the finish and said, "I hate to wish a par for James, but I hope he does.'' That was the Canadian's only way to secure a card, only Hahn delivered a clutch chip for the birdie.
The birdie was meaningful for Hahn as he finished fifth on the money list, which will improve his priority ranking going into next year. Casey Wittenberg won the Web.com Tour money list, meaning he is eligible for The Players Championship and has guaranteed status all year.
This is the final year of the top 60 players from the Web.com Tour money list meeting in a Tour Championship to decide the 25 cards.
Next year, the top 25 on the Web.com Tour money list will be assured their PGA Tour cards, but they will join the next 50 players from the Web.com Tour money list and 75 players from the PGA who fail to qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Those players will compete in four tournaments called "The Finals,'' where 25 additional PGA Tour cards will be awarded. Those who already finished in the top 25 on the Web.com Tour money list will be playing the four-event series to determine only their ranking for the 2013-14 season that will start next October.
The final event of that series will be played on the Valley Course at the TPC Sawgrass.
DIVOTS: Hoffman, Luke Guthrie and Ben Kohles finished among the top 25 without having any status at the start of the year. The others to earn cards were Russell Henley, Luke List, Shawn Stefani, Robert Streb, David Lingmerth, Justin Hicks, Paul Haley II, Cameron Percy, Andres Gonzales, Scott Gardiner, Lee Williams, Darron Stiles, Brad Fritsch, Brian Stuard, Andrew Svoboda, Nicholas Thompson and Alistair Presnell.

WINFIELD � The Newton High School boys' golf team ended the regular season with a fifth-place team finish Thursday at the Winfield Invitational at the Winfield Country Club. Bishop Carroll won the meet at 314, followed by Arkansas City, Coffeyville and Derby all at 329. Newton had a 333. Newton claimed three medals. Travis House of Winfield was top medalist at 75, followed by Nate Chadd of Bishop Carroll and Braden Page of Labette County each at 76. Newton was led by Cole Rother, who tied for fifth at 78, followed by Dalton Ayers, who tied for ninth at 79 and Lane Pauls, who tied for 15th at 82. "We had three players medal individually," Newton coach Joanie Pauls said. "Cole had a great round and tied for fifth. He is gaining confidence in his game and his scores are showing it. Dalton tied for ninth. He had a slow start, bogeying his first three holes, but finished strong. Lane tied for 15th. He had a bad hole on 10 that kept him from shooting in the 70s." Omar Ramos-Thaw and Avery Anderson each shot a 94. Jared Gihring shot a 97. "Putting and chipping on Winfield's small, sloping greens was difficult for all three of them," Joanie Pauls said. "We are still having a hard time putting four good scores together for our team score. Having to take a 94 really hurt us today." Newton competes at the Class 5A regionals Monday at the Terradyne Country Club in Wichita. "Our Regional field is extremely strong," Joanie Pauls said. "For us to qualify as a team for state, we will have to post a season low score. Everyone will need to step up."
Winfield Invitational Thursday Winfield CC Team scores � Bishop Carroll 314, Derby 329-88, Coffeyville 329-103, Arkansas City 329-open, Newton 333, Independence 337, Winfield 341, McPherson 342, Labette County 343, El Dorado 350, Hutchinson 373, Chanute 387, Parsons 419.

Just got a notice on one of the security mailing lists (Full Disclosure I think) about this article. What's nice is that it explains how to do this without the use of chkrootkit. This is a rather important factor, IMO, since some "rootkit tools" may not be known and/or are "custom-built" jobs. I haven't personally used gdb that often (not being much of a programmer) but it definately is a tool that can help with forensics of a compromised system.

PERTH AMBOY—Cadet Jasmil Rivas graduated from the New Jersey National Guard ChalleNGe Youth Program on Aug. 29. Rivas, of Perth Amboy, is one of the 105 New Jersey teens in the program's 30th graduating class.
National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Youth Program, located at Fort Fix, began in 1992 with the goal of identifying at-risk teenagers who have dropped out of high school and turning their lives around with a combination of military-based training, community service, and mentorship. These teens receiving a second chance must be legal New Jersey residents between the ages of 16 and 18 years old, drug free, and have no pending legal issues.
Cadets who successfully complete the program are eligible to receive a State of New Jersey High School Diploma. The graduation ceremony took place at the Trenton War Memorial with a special key-note speaker and honorary guest, Admiral Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Dmitri's Choice
Nabokov wanted his final, unfinished work destroyed. Should his son get out the matches?
Here is your chance to weigh in on one of the most troubling dilemmas in contemporary literary culture. I know I'm hopelessly conflicted about it. It's the question of whether the last unpublished work of Vladimir Nabokov, which is now reposing unread in a Swiss bank vault, should be destroyed—as Nabokov explicitly requested before he died.
It's a decision that has fallen to his sole surviving heir (and translator), Dmitri Nabokov, now 73. Dmitri has been torn for years between his father's unequivocal request and the demands of the literary world to view the final fragment of his father's genius, a manuscript known as The Original of Laura. Should Dmitri defy his father's wishes for the sake of "posterity"?
For the past two years I've involved myself in this question in print and in e-mail correspondence with Dmitri Nabokov, but a recent communication from Dmitri to me suggests that a decision may be near. And so the time seems right to share with Slate readers my own deeply divided feelings about Dmitri's choice and to see what they make of his dilemma.
What I'd like to do is convey to Dmitri the best of your responses to this (literally) burning question, since he deserves to know the sentiments of the intelligent reading public as well as those of the close-knit coterie of Nabokovians greedy to view the body of Laura's text.
Dmitri's predicament goes beyond Laura. It's one that raises the difficult issue of who "owns" a work of art, particularly an unfinished work of art by a dead author who did not want anything but his finished work to become public. Who controls its fate? The dead hand from the grave? Or the eager, perhaps overeager, readers, scholars, and biographers who want to get their hands on it no matter what state it's in?
To burn or not to burn? It's not a question we can argue over forever. Time is running out, and the stakes are high: Dmitri's past pronouncements suggest that Laura is not merely another scrap of paper. At one point he called it "the most concentrated distillation of [my father's] creativity."
Think of that: the final "distillation" of the work of perhaps the greatest, certainly the most complex, writer of the past century. Is it the "key to all mythologies"? The Jamesian "figure in the carpet"? The lens through which—should it survive—we might retrospectively refocus our vision of Nabokov's art?
On the other hand, Dmitri has also said Laura "would have been a brilliant, original, and potentially totally radical book, in the literary sense very different from the rest of his oeuvre." Which is not the same as saying that it is a "distillation" in the conventional meaning of the term. It suggests a new revelation.
Or perhaps Laura is both, since V.N.'s "distillation" might be an unexpected revelation as well.
As things stand, there's a chance we may never know. What we do know is that the Laura manuscript consists of approximately 50 index cards covered in V.N.'s handwriting. Dmitri has said in the past that the text amounts to some 30 conventional manuscript pages. (To those familiar with what is perhaps Nabokov's greatest work, Pale Fire, the use of index cards as a draft medium will not seem strange. Indeed the parallels to Pale Fire's account of a struggle over the disposition of an index-card manuscript border on the uncanny.) But in any case, before he died in 1977, Nabokov made clear that he wanted those cardsdestroyed.
At the time, the task fell to V.N.'s adored and devoted wife, Véra, but for one reason or another, by the time she died in 1991, she had not gotten around to putting a match to Laura. The grim task then fell to Dmitri, who has long been an assiduous and acerbic defender of his father's literary legacy from those he regards as egregious misinterpreters—and it now appears that such "misinterpretations" may prove to be a factor in swaying his sentiments on the fate of Laura.
And so this is Dmitri's choice: become the means of transmission of his father's last words and—against his wishes—allow the manuscript to be disclosed to the world. Or be the instrument of its destruction, and take the knowledge of its content to the grave.
It is, alas, an either/or, one or zero decision. And now comes news—via an e-mail to me from Dmitri—of a new twist in the case. Via a mutual friend, Dmitri sent me some comments on the nature and fate of Laura that he made in a forthcoming interview he expects will be published in a journal called Nabokov Online Journal. Comments he shared with me out of courtesy since he goes to some lengths to gently refute some previous speculations of mine on the identity of Laura's Laura. The new pronouncement makes it seem like, once again, he is inclined toward putting a match to Laura.
When I say, "once again," it's because he's zigged and zagged on the question over the past two years since I first provoked comment from him that he would "probably destroy" Laura.
He made that statement in an e-mail exchange we had about an essay I'd written on the "ur-Lolita" problem: the discovery by a German professor of an obscure novella published in Berlin in 1916 that seemed to prefigure some features of V.N.'s later Lolita. The "ur-Lolita" disclosure was mistakenly characterized as a "plagiarism" scandal by some of the less acute members of the European press, although the German professor, Michael Maar, explicitly said the parallels were not plagiarism and suggested instead a case of "cryptomnesia"—the technical term for, say, reading something in 1916 and not having a conscious memory of it 20 years later, so that one isn't aware of the source when elements of it surface in one's own later work.
In any case, when I asked Dmitri about Laura—this was two years ago—he said he was inclined to burn it because of the lamentable state of what he called "Lolitology."
At the time I assumed he was referring to the ur-Lolita controversy, and in a column in the New York Observer, thinking only of myself, the vast pleasure and mystery Nabokov's work offers, and the thrilling prospect of reading his final manuscript, I penned a public plea to Dmitri not to burn Laura.
The attention this brought to Dmitri's dilemma caused something of a stir, with headlines around the world blaring variations of NABOKOV SON TO DESTROY FATHER'S LAST WORDS, when in fact what he actually said in his e-mail to me was that he would "probably destroy it." In the aftermath of this brouhaha, Dmitri announced that he hadn't yet made an irrevocable decision about burning Laura. At the time, I counted it a victory in helping him move back from the brink.
But after things died down, I began to think of the matter from Dmitri's perspective: It was a Hamlet-like dilemma he faced. His stern regal father, like the ghost in Hamlet, demanding posthumous fulfillment of a blood-chilling pledge. Dmitri has been enjoined with carrying out the last act of one of the most demanding purists in literary history, a man who would have, his son must know, felt pain at the release of a maimed or not fully formed version of his last words.
Indeed a Nabokov specialist at Oberlin College, professor Abraham P. Socher, drew my attention to a quote in V.N.'s first English-language novel, The Real Life of Sebastian Knight. V.N. describes a Nabokov-like writer figure as "that rare type of writer who knows that nothing ought to remain except for the perfect achievement."
Does it matter what V.N. would feel, since he's long dead? Do we owe no respect to his last wishes because we greedily want some "key" to his work, or just more of it for our own selfish reasons? Does the lust for aesthetic beauty always allow us to rationalize trampling on the artist's grave? Does the greatness of an artist diminish his right to dispose of his own unfinished work?
It is in this context that the new Dmitri pronouncement figures. Shortly after the New Year, I received an e-mail from a mutual friend saying, "Dmitri asked me to send this…something about yr article being the reason for this interview…Dmitri said he wanted you to have it before it came out."
It was a transcript labeled, "Final draft; small changes made after transmission … on Dec. 29, 2007. Interview with Dmitri Nabokov for Nabokov online, No. 1, 2008."
I reached Dmitri by phone just to make sure he had not changed his views since the interview, but he reaffirmed the substance of his sentiments on Laura and—though he asked that I not quote him directly until the interview appears—he agreed that I could share some of his thoughts on the Laura question with you.
In the interview, Dmitri initially says that he is reserving judgment as to whether to preserve or destroy the manuscript, but he subsequently admits to feeling protective about Laura, especially in light of the treatment of his father's works by certain writers he regards as deeply misguided in their "psychological" analyses of Lolita and other works, analyses he characterizes as virtually criminal idiocy. In particular, he singles out critics who have used close readings of Nabokov's work to suggest that V.N. himself was molested or abused.
And though Dmitri hasn't made a final decision, he says the desire to spare Laura similar molestation by the "Lolitologists" inclines him to obey his father's wishes and consign the manuscript to oblivion.
Dmitri also spends time in the interview refuting some public speculations I've made about the nature of Laura. I had suggested that Laura might owe something to Otto Preminger's classic obsessive detective film of the same name, which features a portrait, an "original," of a Laura. And then, delving deeper into the matter at the suggestion of some readers, I investigated Petrarch's famous sonnets to Laura, the 14th-century "Canzonieres," which are credited with initiating the Renaissance sonnet tradition and which a littérateur like Nabokov could not have been ignorant of. Given Dmitri's dismissal of the Lolitologists, I approached his comments on my theories with some trepidation. But he found an extremely generous way of saying I was wrong on just about every point:
He rules out the influence of either Otto Preminger's Laura or Petrarch's Canzoniere 141. He denies the similarity I'd felt I'd found between Petrarch's image of a butterfly flying into a woman's eyes, mistaking their blue for the sky, and the image in the opening stanza of Pale Fire's poem in which a bird mistakenly flies into "the false azure" reflected in a window's pane, citing his father's punctiliousness about differentiating classes of winged creatures.
I must admit I have never found a critique more flattering—in the interview he calls my theories "intelligent" and seems to particularly appreciate my comparison of his difficult position vis a vis his father to Hamlet's—nor more mystifying. At the end of his discussion of Laura, he informs us that "Laura" is not even the original's name in The Original of Laura.
When I asked him, in an e-mail, to explain this apparent paradox, he declined to respond. He did add that he has copied out into more conventional manuscript pages the contents of the index cards—whose number he told me on the phone he could not remember precisely.
Well, I will set aside for the moment both my gratitude for being refuted in such a fashion—and my continued disagreement with Dmitri about the parallelism of the Petrarchan image of a butterfly (an iconic Nabokov figure) flying into the beautiful blue of a woman's eyes and the image of a bird flying into "the false azure" of Pale Fire's windowpane. I think the resemblance trumps the animal-class difference. (See if you agree with me or Dmitri; you can find both passages here.) More significant perhaps is that disputing my Laura speculations provoked Dmitri into calling into question the identity—or at least the name—of the "original" in Laura.
What then can the title mean? There are just too many unanswered questions, which multiply every time Dmitri speaks. This may be his intention; it certainly focuses our suspenseful attention on him and his decision, potentially one of the most consequential decisions in contemporary literary history. But I think it's time to end the suspense.
Dmitri, with all due respect, I think the time has come to make a decision. Tell us what you want to tell us about Laura (including the "real" name of the original). Tell us why you think it's the "distillation of [your] father's art." Tell us, please, what that can mean. Or explain why Laura is such a "radical" departure from his previous work. Or give us Laura and let us tie ourselves into knots deciding. Or put us out of our misery, and tell us that you intend to preserve the mystery forever by destroying Laura. But please don't continue to tease us.
You could also, I suppose, tell us that you have decided to find some third solution, by offering limited access to Laura for scholars, or by placing the decision in trusted hands to be made after your death, thus relieving you of an almost impossible burden.
I could understand such a compromise, but somehow I think the decision should be a deliberate one by a Nabokov heir rather than one made by fate or committee. When we spoke (by e-mail) two years ago, Dmitri revealed there were two keys to the safe deposit vault in Switzerland containing Laura. Who has the other one? What are his or her responsibilities? When I asked again this time about this mysterious secret-sharer, he declined to respond.
And the typescript version of Laura you mention in the interview. Where is that and what will its fate be? It's time to lay your cards on the table, Dmitri. Where is that and what will its fate be? It's time to lay your cards on the table, Dmitri.
And Slate readers: You're a literate bunch. Even if you're not Nabokov aficionados, you must have an opinion on the larger issue raised about the final wishes of an artist for an unfinished work of art he didn't want the world to see: Should Dmitri burn Laura? Record your advice here.
I still can't make up my mind. Part of me desperately wants to read Laura. But I have a superstitious dread of violating V.N.'s wishes. Maybe you can help me—as well as Dmitri—choose. But I think it's time to decide one way or another: The suspense is killing me.

Tennis can be funny.
Tennis can be funny.
Rafael Nadal, playing at a tournament he's won eight times, took on fellow Spaniard David Ferrer, someone he's owned, in the quarterfinals of the Monte Carlo Masters. Nadal, the world #1, lost in straight sets.
Novak Djokovic, coming off two matches in which he dropped a total of two games, lost the first set to Gael Garcia-Lopez, a dangerous unseeded player. Garcia-Lopez had a break chance in the second, lost it, and with it, essentially, the match. He would win one game in the third set. In the third, he was in a similar position to where he was in the second – one set away from the upset – but the mind sometimes does not work that way when the body has been so close to sealing the deal earlier.
And Roger Federer, playing his quarterfinal against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, appeared to be down and out in the second set. He was down a set and, though he had a dozen chances, simply could not break Tsonga. It was sometimes painful to watch. And of course it was painful for Federer, as he showed an angrier side, yelling at himself often. But he won the tiebreaker. And then it was over in a hurry, as he quickly broke Tsonga twice in the third.
Maybe it's time for Federer to win his first Monte Carlo title? Too bad he's got to go through Djokovic first.

Lamar University joins St. Elizabeth and St. Mary to host Nightingale Experience
Thirty-five students from 18 area high schools will visit Lamar University and CHRISTUS Hospitals St. Elizabeth and St. Mary Friday and Saturday, June 10 and 11, to gain first-hand experience in the nursing and medical professions.
The JoAnne Gay Dishman Department of Nursing will team up with the two hospitals to host the Nightingale Experience, whose goal is to introduce local high school students to job opportunities in the nursing profession as well as to attract them to Lamar's nursing program, said Eileen Curl, professor and chair of the Dishman Department of Nursing.
Participating high schools include Bridge City, Buna, Beaumont Central Medical Magnet, Beaumont Community Christian, Evadale, Hamshire-Fannett, Kirbyville, Little-Cypress Mauriceville, Lumberton, Port Arthur Memorial, Nederland, Beaumont Ozen, Port Neches-Groves, Silsbee, Vidor, Warren, Beaumont West Brook and Woodville.
"We are encouraging teens to select nursing as a career," Curl said. Now in its ninth year, the Nightingale Experience gives students a first-hand look at nursing and the hospital setting, Curl said. "The goal is to showcase nursing while students are still making career decisions."
The experience allows students to discuss career opportunities, visit area hospitals and work in simulated hospital settings with Lamar nursing students, faculty and those already in the profession. They will practice nursing techniques such as injections and naso-gastric tube insertion and simulations like delivering a baby. In addition, students will participate in a blindfold bed-making and nursing uniform design contests. While attending the two-day event, the students will stay in Cardinal Village to get a feel for campus life.
Participants will practice nursing skills from 9:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Friday in the McFaddin Ward Health Sciences Building at Lamar. They will be at St. Mary from 2 to 6 p.m. Friday and back on campus for games and contests from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the McFaddin Ward Health Sciences Building and 7:30 to 10 p.m. in Cardinal Village. The group will visit St. Elizabeth from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.
Students will learn about nursing through discussions with faculty and by practicing skills in Lamar's Edna Horn Gay Learning Center, Curl said. There, for example, students can assist an obstetric mannequin in delivering a baby – and help resuscitate a high-tech mannequin that is experiencing a heart attack, she said.
"Nursing has many more career options than what is portrayed on TV," Curl said. "Students don't realize how many options there are. By visiting both St. Elizabeth and St. Mary campuses of CHRISTUS, students obtain insights about a wide range of clinical specialty areas students can pursue in the nursing profession."
Lamar nursing instructors work closely with area school counselors to identify high school sophomores who are interested in nursing and want to learn more about job opportunities within the field, Curl said. Students are identified and nominated by their counselors, then Lamar nursing instructors select the Nightingale candidates, she said.
Health care professionals predict the nursing shortage in the United States will intensify within the next 10 years. Local hospitals have recruiters who seek out qualified nurses. Curl said nursing offers good pay, flexible hours and job opportunities anywhere in the U.S. because nurses are in high demand.
Lamar University offers both a four-year bachelor's degree and a two-year associate degree in nursing, as well as graduate degrees in nursing.
For information about Lamar's nursing opportunities, contact Eileen Deges Curl, department chair, at firstname.lastname@example.com or call the nursing advisor at (409) 880-8868.
