It's all in your brain, girls
Update, 6/5/05: Mind Hacks points out other problems with newspaper coverage of this story, in that it misinterprets the study's findings.
The Independent UK published a story last month claiming, "Anorexia Linked to Brain Defect, Rather Than Social Pressures." "The full story leaves a considerably different impression than the headline. The professor who led the research, Bryan Lask says his research shows a genetic pre-disposition to anorexia; as he says, people aren't "born anorexic."
There may be a grain of truth to this. After all, a variant of anorexia preceded the rise of electronic media. But fixating on brain chemistry like this drives me nuts.
If any mental illness can be tied to socio-cultural causes, it is eating disorders; anorexia and bulemia are as scarce in societies without TV as societies before TV. Remember the Fiji Islands study [$ req.; see article below]: before TV, voluptuous female figures were the norm; after TV, a sudden rise in eating disorders. An internet seach for pro-ana sites will result in dozens (if not hundreds) of sites by anorexics, who post photos of Calista Flockhart and other rail-thin models for inspiration.
Among teens, an unhealthy focus on body image is kind of a national hazing rite; the vast majority of my girlfriends in high school worried about their weight. About half of my close girlfriends, I later found out, actually had full-blown eating disorders. I was a chronic dieter myself -- and I only weighed 120 lbs! It's pretty clear to me that most eating disorders go undiagnosed or untreated; many of us, who never saw ourselves as anorexics or bulemics, grew out of it.
Those who see anorexia as a biology-based disorder see it as a discrete problem: you either have anorexia or you don't. But the health effects of our obsession with thinness would be more accurately imagined as a continuum, with people who literally starve themselves to death on one end, and the girls who merely feel like crap about their bodies on the other. When you look at it this way, tracing the problem to a brain defect starts to look ridiculous.
Pointing to brain chemistry has obvious advantage, of course: it gives pharmaceutical companies a chance to offer drug treatments.

Study Finds TV Alters Fiji Girls' View of Body
By ERICA GOODE
"You've gained weight" is a traditional compliment in Fiji, anthropologists say.
In accordance with traditional culture in the South Pacific nation, dinner guests are expected to eat as much as possible. A robust, nicely rounded body is the norm for men and women. "Skinny legs" is a major insult. And "going thin," the Fijian term for losing a noticeable amount of weight, is considered a worrisome condition. But all that may be changing, now that Heather Locklear has arrived.
Just a few years after the introduction of television to a province of Fiji's main island, Viti Levu, eating disorders -- once virtually unheard of there -- are on the rise among girls, according to a study presented yesterday at the American Psychiatric Association meetings in Washington. Young girls dream of looking not like their mothers and aunts, but like the slender stars of "Melrose Place" and "Beverly Hills 90210."
"I'm very heavy," one Fijian adolescent lamented during an interview with researchers led by Dr. Anne E. Becker, director of research at the Harvard Eating Disorders Center of Harvard Medical School, who investigated shifts in body image and eating practices in Fiji over a three-year period.
The Fijian girl said her friends also tell her that she is too fat, "and sometimes I'm depressed because I always want to lose weight."
Epidemiological studies have shown that eating disorders are more prevalent in industrialized countries, suggesting that cultural factors play a role. But few studies have examined the effects of long-term cultural shifts on disordered eating in traditional societies.
Dr. Becker and her colleagues surveyed 63 Fijian secondary school girls, whose average age was 17. The work began in 1995, one month after satellites began beaming television signals to the region. In 1998, the researchers surveyed another group of 65 girls from the same schools, who were matched in age, weight and other characteristics with the subjects in the earlier group.
Fifteen percent in the 1998 survey reported that they had induced vomiting to control their weight, the researchers said, compared with 3 percent in the 1995 survey. And 29 percent scored highly on a test of eating-disorder risk, compared with 13 percent three years before.
Girls who said they watched television three or more nights a week in the 1998 survey were 50 percent more likely to describe themselves as "too big or fat" and 30 percent more likely to diet than girls who watched television less frequently.
Before 1995, Dr. Becker said, there was little talk of dieting in Fiji. "The idea of calories was very foreign to them." But in the 1998 survey, 69 percent said that at some time they had been on a diet. In fact, preliminary data suggest more teen-age girls in Fiji diet than their American counterparts.
The results of the study have not been published, but were reviewed by the psychiatric association's scientific program committee before being accepted for presentation at the meetings.
Several of the students told Dr. Becker and her colleagues that they wanted to look like the Western women they saw on television shows like "Beverly Hills 90210." One girl said that her friends "change their mood, their hairstyles, so that they can be like those characters." "So in order to be like them, I have to work on myself, exercising and my eating habits should change," she said.
But Dr. Marshall Sahlins, Charles F. Grey professor emeritus of Anthropology at the University of Chicago, said that he doubts that television was the only factor in the changes. "I think that television is a kind of metaphor of something more profound," he said.
In contrast to the solitary couch-potato viewing style displayed by many Americans, watching television is a communal activity in Fiji, Dr. Becker said. Fijians often gather in households with television sets, and sit together, drinking kava and talking about their day's activities, the TV on in the background.
"What we noticed in 1995 is that people had a sort of curiosity, but it was a dismissive curiosity," Dr. Becker said. "But over the years they have come to accept it as a form of entertainment."
Fiji residents have access to only one television channel, she said, which broadcasts a selection of programs from the United States, Britain and Australia. Among the most popular are "Seinfeld," "Melrose Place," which features Ms. Locklear, "E.R.," "Xena, Warrior Princess," and "Beverly Hills 90210."
Dr. Becker said that the increase in eating disorders like bulimia may be a signal that the culture is changing so quickly that Fijians are having difficulty keeping up. Island teen-agers, she said, "are acutely aware that the traditional culture doesn't equip them well to negotiate the kinds of conflicts" presented by a 1990's global economy.
In other Pacific societies, Dr. Becker said, similar cultural shifts have been accompanied by an increase in psychological problems among adolescents. Researchers speculated, for example, that rapid social change played a role in a rash of adolescent suicides in Micronesia in the 1980's.

I came across this article while researching eating disorders, and I disagree with it. Quite a bit.
It's undeniable that eating disorders were less prevelant before the advent of television and other forms of super-invasive media. Honestly, who would argue that? But to stretch that fact and state that media are the primary causes of eating disorders turning causation into correlation.
Countless twin studies and adoption studies show a strong genetic link in patients with eating disorders. There is evidence that bulimics have different brain chemistry than non-bulimics. There are reports of rural African young women developing eating disorders -- in places that don't even get television! That last case is most striking. . . these aren't silly girls wanting to be thin for boys, or striving to look like Lindsay and Nicole. They're ill with a disorder that has a strong genetic and psychological basis.
Does culture have an effect on people's eating habits, on eating disorders? Of course. But to say culture or society or the ubiquitous "media" are the root cause is laughably simplistic, as well as terribly insulting to the millions of people who grapple with eating disorders.
"Nature loads the gun; society pulls the trigger." Culture, society, media -- these are forces that primarily affect those with preexisting psychological and genetic vulnerabilities in the first place. They're not the main causes -- I would venture to say they're not really causes at all, so much as impetuses.

text: To What Are You Committed? by Anne Bachrach In Business Blog 3 Comments Our greatest leaders and the most successful business people all share common belief systems – determination, strength of purpose and commitment. Being committed to yourself, your goals, your business and your relationships is what raises you above the mediocre, because people who honor their commitments stand out in the crowd. By honoring your commitments, you keep your promises and stay true to your word. Honoring your commitments also means that you promise to see them through to the very end, come what may. Not honoring your commitment destroys your credibility, dependability and trustworthiness. Success doesn't just happen. Success occurs when determination, a desire to succeed, strength of purpose and a commitment to achieve your goals are present. Successful people commit to achieving better than their best. For them, commitment becomes an instinctual habit they practice every day. Human beings are amazingly complex creatures, so the coming together of two complex creatures in an equally complex relationship can be fraught with mishaps, misunderstandings, doubt, deceipt, despair…the list goes on and on. In its most simplistic terms, committing to a relationship is no different from committing to a long term goal. To stay committed, you need to keep your focus on the vision and understand that the path to attain that vision may meander, twist, turn, convolute and lead you down a number of dead ends. What it takes is a shared desire to achieve the same vision and determination to succeed no matter what obstacles are placed in your path. Be Sociable, Share!

The Baltimore Report
As promised, here is my full report on Baltimore. Having traveled quite a bit in my short life, I have decided that there are about four things to do when visiting somewhere new: shopping, eating, sightseeing, and nightlife. Since I'm married and I don't drink, nightlife was out, but I did participate in the other three activities.
Sightseeing: Since I can't afford to spend a whole lot on museums or other tourist attractions, my version of sightseeing is pretty much just wandering around a city. I like to think of it as urban hiking. The first place I went on Wednesday night was the Inner Harbor, which quickly disappointed me. It is highly commercialized, basically just a big mall. So I kept walking, and got to explore a bit of the East Harbor and Fells Point before I had to call it a night.
Thursday, after I got the exhibit booth set up, was my main sightseeing day. Starting from the Convention Center, I walked north on Charles Street to the Washington Memorial, which is in the Mount Vernon cultural district. There were a couple of museums here -- the Walker Art Museum and the Contemporary Art Museum -- but the Contemporary hadn't opened yet and the Walker didn't seem quite as interesting, so I just kept wandering. From there, I went west, and eventually came to Lexington Market. Lexington Market reminded me quite a bit of the Farmer's Market in Los Angeles. It is a large market hall with stands selling just about every type of food you can imagine. And, since it was Baltimore, every other stand was a raw bar. Since I had already had breakfast and it was too early for lunch, I kept walking, this time heading east. A couple of hours of walking later, I found myself back in Fells Point, where I had been the night before. On Thursday, however, the sun was shining and I had more time, so I got to see more of this area. Fells Point was probably my favorite part of Baltimore, and it was the best shopping area (see below).
On Friday I did a bit more sightseeing early in the morning before the conference, heading back up to the Mount Vernon area and going a bit farther north than I had the day before. It looked like there was some good shopping up there, too, but it was 7:30am and nothing was open yet. After the conference, I headed south of the Inner Harbor to Federal Hill. My first stop was the American Visionary Art Museum, which I had heard about the day before. I feared they would already be closed when I got there, but I arrived an hour before closing and, because it was so late, they let me in for free. The museum was fantastic, though unfortunately I couldn't get up to the third floor because a wedding rehearsal was being held on the stairs. Not being able to go up to the third floor gave me some time to browse the gift shop, and I ended up buying an artwork: a piece of Shawn Theron's SOGH project. I had never bought real art before, and was super-excited to take it home and show David. After the museum, I explored Federal Hill, hoping to find some more shopping (again, see below), but all I really could find were bars and restaurants.
Shopping: Given that I'm not much of a shopper (I hadn't been shopping for clothes since September), this was about the last thing I expected to do in Baltimore but, as I said above, there is not much else to do while traveling. The best shopping was in Fells Point. I stumbled upon a consignment store and, before I knew it, had found about fifty garments I wanted to try on. Of the fifty, I ended up buying about ten, and was thrilled to have almost a whole new wardrobe (okay, I guess that is a bit of an exaggeration, since I mostly bought tops) for only $75. There were also some cute home furnishings stores in Fells Point, but after my clothing expedition I began to fear that my suitcase would be too full for anything else. I had hoped to find more shopping in Federal Hill because the Baltimore guide in my hotel room promised resale shops of all kinds, but the only one I found was a used book store.
Eating: Eating was probably the low point of the trip because the food in Baltimore was, surprisingly, just not that great. For the first time in my life, I sent back an entire restaurant meal! The food was also terribly uninspired, and very short on vegetables -- getting my daily 1.5 pounds was quite a challenge! There were, however, two highlights: 1) grits. I had forgotten I was in the South until I wandered into an espresso bar on Thursday morning and found they were serving grits. So I ended up having it every day for breakfast. 2) crab. I expected to eat quite a bit of crab while I was there because, after all, it was Baltimore, but I just couldn't find that much of it. So on Thursday night I went on a crab expedition and ended up at Phillips, where I got crab cocktail, which was quite good. Otherwise, the food in Baltimore was unremarkable. In addition to having trouble getting my vegetables, I also had quite a challenge getting my two daily glasses of milk. I expected to be able to just walk into a coffeehouse and get a cup of steamed milk, but there just weren't many coffeehouses, and the ones they do have close at five. I wandered all over Federal Hill on Friday night looking for a coffee house and couldn't find one. I finally ended up at the SoBo Cafe, thinking cafe=coffe, but I was wrong. It was just a regular restaurant and they didn't have coffee, but I was desperate for my milk, so I sat down at the bar. The bartender asked if I was there for dinner, and I replied, "no, just a glass of milk, if you have it." She looked at me like I had antennas and repeated, "a glass of milk?" But she poured it for me, and I drank it while eating some tangerines I had brought from Ann Arbor. Soon another bartender came out and asked how I liked the milk. I told him it was quite good and he responded that I should come back on Wednesday because Wednesday is their free all-you-can-drink milk night. I told him that I wouldn't miss it. When I finished my milk, I asked how much I owed him for it. Between the three bartenders, nobody knew how much to charge me because none of them had ever sold a glass of milk, so they just asked for a dollar. I gave them two and headed back out.
So that was Baltimore! Overall, I had a great time, though I would have loved to have shared the trip with David. Traveling alone is always really lonely.

I've loved this scent from the first time I smelled it. It's fresh and clean and soft. The only thing I can say negative about it is that it doesn't last very long. It's strong going on, but has a weak finish. I wish it lasted all day as some perfumes do. However, it's still a wonderful scent that I can use every day.

It's a beautiful scent. I fell in-love with it as soon as I sampled it in a magazine. I'm not typically a fragrance wearer, as I have cats and their noses are sensitive; however, this scent was perfect! After getting it, I wouldn't say it's perfect, but it's close. It's not a scent I would wear every day. It's a bit too strong and floral for my tastes.

Four years ago, on a train from Philadelphia to Washington, Sandra Bloom told me about the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study. I hadn't heard of it, and was astounded to learn about strong connections it found between exposure to trauma and toxic stress in childhood, and experiencing behavioral, social, emotional, and health problems as an adult. I told almost everyone I knew. I circulated the study's publications among my public health peers. Hardly any of them had heard of it in 2011, when I wrote the first of several related posts.
On Thursday, I sat with more than 350 Philadelphians at WHHY's studios as the study was discussed at a sold-out symposium entitled "Children and Toxic Stress: A Public Health Response for Philadelphia's Children and Families." Awareness about the ACE Study (first findgs were published in 1998) and its implications has spread rapidly over the past few years. And Philadelphia, in the words of Arthur Evans, commissioner of the city's Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services, has been the "epicenter" of knowledge dissemination. "Philadelphia is the only city where only a few hands pop up when I ask how many people have not heard of the ACE Study," said Martha Davis, a new program officer at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation who until recently headed the local Institute for Safe Families. A brief video of her remarks on building resilience is here.

Gun control in the United States is among the most polarizing issues we face. Strong feelings prevail, with few areas of agreement on either side of the issues. But blocking a physician's opportunity to counsel a family against leaving a gun and ammunition where curious hands can cause terrible tragedies is in no one's interest. Unfortunately, that's exactly what at least one state is trying to do.
It's widely understood that physicians play an essential role in counseling patients to reduce their risk of death, illness or injury, whether from smoking, alcohol abuse, unhealthy eating or unsafe sex. Doctors routinely counsel families about car seats, bike helmets, and how to store medicines and cleaning supplies to keep children safe.
The National Rifle Association sponsors the Eagle Eddie Gun Safe Program to promote the protection and safety of children in schools and community groups across the country. According to the NRA website, "The purpose of the Eddie Eagle Program isn't to teach whether guns are good or bad, but rather to promote the protection and safety of children. Like swimming pools, electrical outlets, matchbooks and household poison, they're treated simply as a fact of everyday life. With firearms found in about half of all American households, it's a stance that makes sense."

It's not just military veterans who develop post-traumatic stress disorder. As described in a previous post, what's known today as PTSD has been observed in people who experienced traumatic events for centuries if not millennia. One relatively common event that can cause PTSD is a serious injury, like from a car accident or a gunshot wound. There are a lot of those. A study of 2,707 surgical trauma patients from across the United States several years ago found that more than a fifth had PTSD one year after their injury.
So why isn't PTSD screening and referral to treatment the standard of care in trauma centers? Lois Beckett and colleagues have set out to answer just that question. In a group of articles for ProPublica, the nonprofit investigative journalism site, they examine why trauma centers, of which there are quite a few locally, don't sufficiently address the mental health consequences of traumatic injuries and the burden of PTSD among civilian populations – with a detailed look at the issue in Philadelphia (deep into the piece).
Their work, which is part of a larger series on guns, includes a survey of personnel at 21 trauma centers across the country that asks what, if anything, they do to address PTSD among their patients. The responses – Temple University Hospital said it is developing a program – are posted.

The outbreak of polio in the Syrian Arab Republic announced by the World Health Organization a few weeks ago is a troubling reminder that global conflicts threaten the public's health. Violence, like the 2-1/2-year-old civil war in Syria, can lead to significant disruption and/or long term damage to the public health infrastructure, including basic sanitation efforts, maintenance of a safe water supply, basic nutritional needs, and disease monitoring and prevention.
Because of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, this latest outbreak is especially troubling. But it should not be surprising. The displacement of so many Syrians fleeing the fighting has devastated the county's once robust public health infrastructure and stymied immunization efforts. Syria had been polio-free for a decade. Ten polio cases, with many more likely to be reported, are now confirmed.
Polio, technically known as poliomyelitis, is a viral disease that can lead to full or partial paralysis, and sometimes death. The United States experienced periodic local polio epidemics until the development of the Salk and Sabin vaccines, introduced in 1955 and 1963 respectively. Before the vaccines were introduced, tens of thousands of Americans contracted the virus, which could leave them either partially or completely paralyzed. Dr. Jonah Salk's birthday, Oct. 24, is now celebrated as World Polio Day.

June is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) awareness month. Sure, there are months for almost every medical condition imaginable. But this month's designation, which came about after Congress named June 27th national PTSD awareness day just last year, is a symbolic milestone in the mental health condition's history and struggle for legitimacy. The cluster of symptoms now known as PTSD—which can include having nightmares and flashbacks about a traumatic event, avoiding things that remind one of the event, feeling emotionally numb, easily startled, or "on edge," and others—has gone by many different names over the past 150 years.
In the mid-19th century, surgeon John Eric Erichsen coined the term railway spine to describe the symptoms he observed among people who survived or witnessed train accidents. American Civil War surgeon Jacob Mendez Da Costa described similar symptoms among soldiers he treated on the battlefield—a condition he called soldier's heart. Psychoanalysts Pierre Janet and Sigmund Freud documented the hysteria caused by childhood sexual abuse among their female patients. British military psychiatrist Charles Samuel Myers referred to the shell shock experienced by World War I soldiers after they returned from combat.
Time and time again, symptoms of PTSD were observed among people exposed to traumatic events, but were not recognized as "real" given social and political circumstances of the times. Things changed, however, when the forces of the women's liberation and anti-Vietnam War movements converged and PTSD was added to the Third Edition of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III) in 1980. The addition legitimized PTSD as a medical condition and provided a shared language and framework to study and ameliorate the effects of overwhelming human experiences.

Injuries are the leading cause of death among people age 44 and younger in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Center for Injury Prevention and Control is the federal entity charged with reducing this burden. Visit the Center's website and you'll find guidance on how to prevent pretty much every type of injury imaginable—such as those resulting from motor vehicle accidents, dog bites, fireworks, and playgrounds just to name a few.
When it comes to preventing injuries caused by nail guns, which are responsible for an estimated 37,000 emergency department visits annually, the CDC is "Nailing Down the Need for Nail Gun Safety." But when it comes to real guns, which were responsible for an estimated 73,883 injuries and 31,672 deaths in 2012, you won't find a bullet of guidance about preventing firearm-related injuries on the CDC website. Seem strange?

President Obama's speech and executive orders were an important step forward to address gun violence. The president affirmed both his support for the Second Amendment and his commitment to quickly reduce gun violence in the wake of the national tragedies in Newtown, Aurora, Oak Creek, and Tucson.
As we've written here before, gun violence is a public health problem, and the president's proposal — ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines, improve mental health services, close background check loopholes, and make schools safer — treats it as such.

For some neoconservative pundits and GOP hardliners, it's always 1938.
The provisional agreement with Iran concluded recently — freezing uranium enrichment above 5 percent, committing the Islamic state to neutralizing its stockpile of 20 percent uranium, and allowing weapons inspectors ready access to suspect sites (in exchange for unfreezing some $6 billion in Iranian assets) — is merely the latest to provoke cries of "Munich" and "appeasement."
But there aren't a lot of great choices when it comes to preventing a nuclear-armed Iran. The Washington Post's Max Fisher runs through the unappealing menu of "four bad options," which include bomb Iran, invade it, take covert action to topple the regime or continue the status quo in the hopes that Iran will finally cry "uncle." There's one OK option — try to negotiate a deal.

i am totally captivated by these pictures by ariko inaoka. her project is to photograph these twins from iceland every year from the ages of 9-16.
"My intention for this project is to capture the very precious period of their growth from child to teenager, physically as well as psychologically. The relationship between identical twins is an interesting subject matter. I often hear that identical twins have telepathic connections between them. This is true with Erna and Hrefna. They are always together. They almost never fight each other. Spending time with them I feel such comfort in their companionship but at the same time I feel strange because I have never seen such a powerful connection between any two human beings. They say to me, "We dream same dreams sometimes"".

If you live in Framingham, Massachusetts, you probably will be interested in the following message I received from Dave Robertson:
I wanted to let you know that I'm having a new genealogy show on cable here in Framingham called "Genealogy Today with Dave Robertson" which can be viewed by anyone in Framingham. Also you can ask you local Public Access TV to show it on your town's station.
It's not going to be a how-to show, but we will be giving advice to help people do their genealogy better and we will be commenting on Issues in the news and from time to time we will interview guests on the show. The show is in production now and they won't give me an air date till four shows are in the can. I hope to be able to complete that this month and go on-air in November. It is to be available on FPAC-TV, Framingham's Public Access Television.
We are going to ask viewers to write in and tell us what things they are researching or if something is giving them a problem. The first four shows are "The Premier;" Proof; An interview with the author of a Genealogy of the Wampanoag Tribe; and a take off from one of your columns "The Mother of all Genealogy Databases," where we examine access to records and the privacy question.
I think it's going to be great fun and I'm really excited about it.
David T. Robertson, host
Genealogy Today
Great news! That sounds like a great service for local genealogists, and I suspect you will enjoy producing it. Good luck with the show, Dave.
Question: does anyone else have a genealogy program on local cable TV, regular TV or on radio stations? If so, please let me know, and I'll make a list and publish it in this newsletter.

Ana Leza (m. 1987–96)
José Antonio Domínguez Banderas (born 10 August 1960), better known as Antonio Banderas, is a Spanish film actor, film director, film producer and singer. He began his acting career with a series of films by director Pedro Almodóvar and then appeared in high-profile Hollywood movies, especially in the 1990s, including Assassins, Evita, Interview with the Vampire, Philadelphia, Desperado, The Mask of Zorro and Spy Kids. Banderas is also a voice artist, portraying the voice of Puss in Boots in the Shrek sequels and Puss in Boots as well as the bee in the US Nasonex commercials.
Early life[edit]
Banderas was born José Antonio Domínguez Banderas in Benalmádena, Málaga, Andalucía, Spain, on 10 August 1960, to Ana Banderas, a school teacher, and José Domínguez, a police officer in the Guardia Civil.[1] He has a younger brother, Javier. Although the family name is Domínguez, he took his mother's last name as his stage name.[2] As a child, he wanted to become a professional football player until a broken foot sidelined his dreams at the age of fourteen. He went on to enroll in some drama classes, eventually joining a theater troupe that toured all over Spain. His work in the theater, and his performances on the streets, eventually landed him a spot with the National Theatre of Spain.[3] He earned his G.E.D in 1990.
Early work, 1982–90[edit]
Banderas began working in small theatres during Spain's post-dictatorial cultural movement known as the 'Movida'.[4] While performing with the theatre, Banderas caught the attention of Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar, who cast the young actor in his 1982 movie debut Labyrinth of Passion. 5 years later, he went on to appear in the director's Law of Desire, making headlines with his performance as a gay man, which required him to engage in his first male-to-male onscreen kiss. After Banderas appeared in Almodóvar's 1986 Matador, the director cast him in his internationally acclaimed 1988 film, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. The recognition Banderas gained for his role increased two years later when he starred in Almodóvar's controversial Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! as a mental patient who kidnaps a porn star (Victoria Abril) and keeps her tied up until she returns his love.[3] It was his breakthrough role in Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, that helped spur him on to Hollywood.[5] Banderas' having become a regular feature of Almodóvar's movies all throughout the 1980s, Almodóvar is credited for helping launch Banderas's international career.[6]
Breakthrough, 1991–94[edit]
In 1991, Madonna introduced Banderas to Hollywood in Madonna: Truth or Dare. In the movie, Madonna says that she wants to seduce Banderas, even though she knows he is married.
The following year, still speaking minimal English, he began acting in U.S. films. Despite having to learn all his lines phonetically, Banderas still managed to turn in a critically praised performance as a struggling musician in his first American drama film, The Mambo Kings (1992).
Banderas then broke through to mainstream American audiences in the film, Philadelphia (1993), as the gay lover of AIDS-afflicted lawyer Andrew Beckett (Tom Hanks). The film's success earned Banderas wide recognition, and the following year was given a role in Neil Jordan's high-profile adaptation of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, which allowed him to share the screen with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.[3]
Worldwide recognition, 1995–present[edit]
He appeared in several major Hollywood releases in 1995, including a starring role in the Robert Rodriguez-directed film Desperado and the antagonist on the action film Assassins, co-starred with Sylvester Stallone. In 1996, he starred alongside Madonna in Evita, an adaptation of the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice in which he played the narrator, Che, a role played by David Essex in the original 1978 West End production. He also made success with his role as the legendary masked swordsman Zorro in the 1998 film The Mask of Zorro.
In 2001, he collaborated with Robert Rodriguez who cast him in the Spy Kids film trilogy. He also starred in Michael Cristofer's Original Sin alongside Angelina Jolie the same year. In 2002, he starred in Brian De Palma's Femme Fatale opposite Rebecca Romijn-Stamos and in Julie Taymor's Frida with Salma Hayek. In 2003, he starred in the last installment of the trilogy Once Upon A Time In Mexico (in which he appeared with Johnny Depp and Salma Hayek). Banderas' debut as a director was the poorly received Crazy in Alabama (1999), starring his wife Melanie Griffith.[7]
In 2003, he returned to the musical genre, appearing to great acclaim in the Broadway revival of Maury Yeston's musical Nine, based on the film 8½, playing the prime role originated by the late Raúl Juliá. Banderas won both the Outer Critics Circle and Drama Desk awards, and won the Tony Award for best actor in a musical.[8] His performance is preserved on the Broadway cast recording released by PS Classics. The following year (2004), he received the Rita Moreno HOLA Award for Excellence from the Hispanic Organization of Latin Actors (HOLA).
His voice role as Puss in Boots in Shrek 2, Shrek the Third and the last film in the Shrek franchise, Shrek Forever After, helped make the character popular on the family film circuit. In 2005, he reprised his role as Zorro in The Legend of Zorro, though this was not as successful as The Mask of Zorro. In 2006, he starred in Take the Lead, a high-set movie in which he played a ballroom dancing teacher. That year, he directed his second film El camino de los ingleses (English title: Summer Rain), and also received the L.A. Latino International Film Festival's "Gabi" Lifetime Achievement Award on 14 October.[9] He hosted the 600th episode of Saturday Night Live (during season 31).
He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on 6801 Hollywood Blvd. in 2005.
In 2011, the horror thriller The Skin I Live In marked the return of Banderas to Pedro Almodóvar, the Spanish director who launched his international career. The two had not worked together since 1990 (Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!). In The Skin I Live In he breaks out of the "Latin Lover" mold from his Hollywood work and stars as a calculating revenge-seeking plastic surgeon following the rape of his daughter. According to the Associated Press Banderas' performance is among his strongest in recent memory.[6] He again lent his voice to Puss in Boots, this time as the protagonist of the Shrek spin-off family film, Puss in Boots. This film reunited Banderas with Salma Hayek for the sixth time.[10]
Business activities[edit]
He has invested some of his film earnings in Andalusian products, which he promotes in Spain and the US. He owns 50% of a winery in Villalba de Duero, Burgos, Spain, called Anta Banderas, which produces red and rosé wines.[11]
He performed a voice-over for a computer-animated bee which can be seen in the United States in television commercials for Nasonex,[12] an allergy medication, and was seen in the 2007 Christmas advertising campaign for Marks & Spencer, a British retailer.[13]
He is a veteran of the perfume industry. The actor has been working with fragrance and beauty multinational company Puig for over ten years becoming one of the brand's most successful representatives. Banderas and Puig have successfully promoted a number of fragrances so far – Diavolo, Diavolo for Women, Mediterraneo, Spirit, and Spirit for Women. After the success of Antonio for Men and Blue Seduction for Men in 2007, launched his latest Blue Seduction for Women the following year.[14]
Personal life[edit]
Banderas married his first wife, Ana Leza, on 27 July 1987. They separated in May 1995 when he began a relationship with actress Melanie Griffith while shooting Two Much.[4][15] Banderas and Leza divorced in April 1996, and one month later, on 14 May 1996, he married Griffith in a private, low-key ceremony in London.[4] They have a daughter, Stella Banderas, who appeared onscreen with Griffith in Banderas' directorial debut, Crazy in Alabama (1999). In 2002, the couple's dedication to philanthropy was recognized when they received the 'Stella Adler Angel Award' for their extensive charity work.[4] Griffith has a tattoo of Banderas' first name encircled in a heart on her right shoulder.[16]
In 1996, Banderas appeared among other figures of Spanish culture in a video supporting the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party lists in the general election.[17] In 2013, he called on Europe and the United States to emulate Hugo Chávez in Venezuela and nationalize big corporations as a solution to the global economic crisis.[18]
He is a longtime supporter of Málaga CF.[19]
He is an officer (mayordomo de trono) of a Roman Catholic religious brotherhood in Málaga and travels, with his wife and daughter, during Holy Week to take part in the processions,[20] although in an interview with People magazine, Banderas had once described himself as an agnostic.[21] In May 2010, Banderas received his honorary doctorate from the University of Málaga in the city where he was born.[5]

Indie Publisher Raises Funds for Punk Cookbook
The forthcoming No Picnic cookbook uses light-hearted humor and punk rock imagery to present an array of delicious vegan dishes.
Portland-based independent publisher, Microcosm Publishing has taken to Kickstarter to raise money for the release of This Ain't No Picnic: Your Punk Rock Vegan Cookbook, a 192-page, full-color collection of 80 original recipes created by punk musician Joshua Ploeg. "[This] is the first cookbook featuring creative and delicious recipes that match the quality and presentation of a five star restaurant with the self-parody and humor of punk rock culture and history," writes Microcosm on its Kickstarter page. The publishing house is looking to raise $3,000 by November 25; the money will go toward printing the book in a worker-owned print shop in Illinois. Donors who contribute $30 or more will get a copy of the finished book plus a copy of Ploeg's previous cookbook Fire & Ice, while those who donate $50 or more will get five copies of This Ain't No Picnic.

John Satana (m. 1951–52)
Tura Satana (July 10, 1938[1] – February 4, 2011) was an American actress and former exotic dancer. She was best known for her role as "Varla" in Russ Meyer's 1965 cult film, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!.
Early life[edit]
Satana was born Tura Luna Pascual Yamaguchi in Hokkaidō, Japan.[2] Her father was a silent movie actor of Japanese and Filipino descent, and her mother was a circus performer of American Indian (Cheyenne) and Scots-Irish background.[2] After the end of World War II and a stint in the Manzanar internment camp in Lone Pine, California, she and her family moved to Chicago. Walking home from school just before her 10th birthday she was reportedly gang raped by five men.[2] According to Satana, her attackers were never prosecuted and it was rumored that the judge had been paid off.[3]
She tells how this prompted her to learn martial arts, such as aikido and karate. Over the next 15 years, she tracked down each rapist and exacted revenge.[4] "I made a vow to myself that I would someday, somehow get even with all of them", she said years later. "They never knew who I was until I told them."[4] Around this time, she formed a gang, "the Angeles", with Italian, Jewish, and Polish girls from her neighborhood.[5] In an interview with Psychotronic Video,[where?] she said, "We had leather motorcycle jackets, jeans and boots and we kicked butt." Because of frequent delinquency, she was sent to reform school.[2] When she was 13, her parents arranged her marriage to 17-year-old John Satana in Hernando, Mississippi, which lasted nine months.[2]
Satana moved to Los Angeles and by 15, using fake identification to hide the fact she was a minor, began burlesque dancing. She was hired to perform at the Trocadero nightclub on the Sunset Strip, and became a photographic model for, among others, silent screen comic Harold Lloyd, whose photos of her appear in Harold Lloyd's Hollywood Nudes in 3-D.[5]
She returned to Chicago to live with her parents and started dancing at the Club Rendevouz in Calumet City, Illinois, where she was known as Galatea, the Statue that Came to Life. She was offered a raise to become a stripper.[citation needed] After singer Elvis Presley saw her perform at Chicago's Follies Theater, the two began a romantic relationship that some reports say ended in a marriage proposal she declined.[5] She eventually became a successful exotic dancer, traveling from city to city. She credited Lloyd with giving her the confidence to pursue a career in show business: "I saw myself as an ugly child. Mr. Lloyd said, 'You have such a symmetrical face, the camera loves your face ... you should be seen.'"[6]
Acting career[edit]
During her early career, Satana appeared on such television shows as Burke's Law, The Greatest Show On Earth, Hawaiian Eye, and The Man From U.N.C.L.E.. She appeared as a dancer in Who's Been Sleeping in My Bed?, which starred Dean Martin and Elizabeth Montgomery. That same year, she had a cameo as Suzette Wong, a Parisian prostitute in the film Irma la Douce, which starred Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine.[7][8] After starring in Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, she worked mainly with cult film director Ted V. Mikels in such films as The Astro-Zombies (1968), The Doll Squad (1973) and Mark of the Astro-Zombies (2002). She appeared as herself in various documentaries and TV shows.[citation needed]
Faster Pussycat! Kill Kill![edit]
Satana's most noted screen role was as "Varla" in the 1965 film Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!—a very aggressive and sexual female character for which she did all of her own stunts and fight scenes.[9] Renowned film critic Richard Corliss called her performance "...the most honest, maybe the one honest portrayal in the Meyer canon and certainly the scariest".[10] Originally titled The Leather Girls, the film is an ode to female violence, based on a concept created by Russ Meyer and screenwriter Jack Moran. Both felt at her first audition that Satana was "definitely Varla." The film was shot on location in the desert outside Los Angeles during days when the weather was more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit and freezing nights, with Satana clashing regularly with teenage co-star Susan Bernard due to Bernard's mother's reportedly disruptive behavior on the set. Meyer said Satana was "extremely capable. She knew how to handle herself. Don't fuck with her! And if you have to fuck her, do it well! She might turn on you!"[10]
Satana was responsible for adding key elements to the visual style and energy of the production, including her costume, makeup, usage of martial arts, dialogue and the use of spinning tires in the death scene of the main male character.[11] She came up with many of the film's best lines. At one point the gas station attendant was ogling her extraordinary cleavage while confessing to a desire to see America. Varla replied "You won't find it down there, Columbus!"[1] Meyer cited Satana as the primary reason for the film's lasting fame. "She and I made the movie", said Meyer.[12] Meyer reportedly later regretted not using Satana in subsequent productions.[13]
Later years[edit]
After making Ted V. Mikels' The Doll Squad in 1973, Satana was shot by a former lover. She later found employment in a hospital, a position she kept for four years. She had studied nursing at Firmin Desloge Hospital. She was then briefly employed as a dispatcher for the Los Angeles Police Department. In 1981, her back was broken in a car accident. She spent the next two years in and out of hospitals, having two major operations and approximately fifteen others.[2]
Personal life[edit]
Satana dated Elvis Presley but turned down his marriage proposal,[14] although she did keep the ring.[15] Satana married a retired Los Angeles police officer in 1981, and remained married until her husband died in October 2000. She had two daughters from a previous relationship.[citation needed]
Satana died on February 4, 2011, in Reno, Nevada.[16] Her long-time manager, Siouxzan Perry, gave the cause of death as heart failure.[17]

Microsoft to Develop Agile Platform for Intelligent Systems
Published: November 07, 2012 at 1:37 pm
In every industry, companies are as unique as individuals. Their processes are their secret sauce. And finding the right software to support those processes can create a huge competitive advantage.
Michael Beck, director of program management for Windows Embedded at Microsoft, says this approach can allow customers to build solutions that drive customer loyalty by offering personalized experiences, help deliver superior patient care, identify opportunities for heightened production efficiencies or suit just about any other business scenario. Examples have already started appearing within the retail, healthcare, manufacturing and automotive industries.
Kevin Dallas, general manager of Windows Embedded
"Connecting devices into an intelligent system results in an end-to-end business solution that generates data, analyzes it in real time and transforms it into business insight," Beck says. "For partners and enterprise customers, this operational intelligence opens up a whole new range of business opportunities."
To help companies keep up with the pace of change and build exactly the intelligent systems they need, Windows Embedded general manager Kevin Dallas spoke at length last year about Microsoft's focus on shortening its own development cycles and releasing new updates and versions at a faster cadence. Communication with embedded developers would be more frequent and clearer. Visibility into the platform and processes would increase. Feedback would be incorporated much more quickly.
But how would the team deliver on this promise?
Behind the discussion was an internal shift in process and culture. The Windows Embedded team was moving from the traditional "waterfall" big batch development model to embrace the lightweight programming paradigm known as agile.
It was a change that would speed up the group's release cycles and greatly improve the developer community's ability to provide feedback. It would also require the entire team — program management, development and testing — to come together as a single unit focused on delivering business value.

Make sure your severance agreements don't require employees to waive their rights to file a discrimination charge with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
Why? As opposed to a private lawsuit, an EEOC charge is meant to help the EEOC serve the "public interest" of enforcing anti-discrimination laws. Because the public's interest outweighs an employer's interest in settling the charges, employers can't require employees to waive this right.
Recent case: A speech pathologist was fired and offered two weeks' severance pay in exchange for signing a waiver that barred her from filing claims "in any administrative, judicial or other forum whatsoever."
She refused to sign and, instead, filed an EEOC charge. The EEOC sided with her, saying, "An employer and an employee cannot agree to deny to the EEOC the information that it needs to advance this public interest [of eradicating discrimination]." (EEOC v. Sundance Rehabilitation Corp., No. 1:01 CV 1867, N.D. Ohio, 2004)

The Immortal Prince - Jennifer Fallon Horror Book Review
Horror books Review
When a routine hanging goes wrong and a murderer somehow survives the noose, the man announces he is an immortal. And not just any immortal, but Cayal, the Immortal Prince, hero of legend, thought to be only a fictional character. To most he is a figure out of the Tide Lord Tarot, the only record left on Amyrantha of the mythical beings whom fable tells created the race of half-human, half-animal Crasii, a race of slaves.
Arkady Desean is an expert on the legends of the Tide Lords so at the request of the King's Spymaster, she is sent to interrogate this would-be immortal, hoping to prove he is a spy, or at the very least, a madman.
Though she is set the task of proving Cayal a liar, Arkady finds herself believing him, against her own good sense. And as she begins to truly believe in the Tide Lords, her own web of lies begins to unravel…
