There's an old racist joke that goes something like this: "What's the difference between an 'X' and a 'Y' who pisses in the sink? 'X' takes the dishes out first." I was reminded of it while watching Greg the Bunny, the nasty-but-clever new sitcom (Fox, Wednesdays) about the life of puppets (known as "Fabricated-Americans,") living in the United States. There's a scene in which we see the titular character, a fledgling puppet-actor on a children's TV show (a Sesame Street knockoff called Sweetknuckle Junction), bathing in the sudsy kitchen sink of his human roommate and pal, Jimmy (Seth Green). Potentially this is a cute scene, a quirky take on domesticity, and it makes sense that a puppet would bathe in a sink, since he'd probably drown in a bath. Then Greg deliberately lets rip with a loud fart. "Dude," protests Jimmy, "my dishes are in there!"
Here's the kind of thing that passes for wit on a show lovingly written up by The New York Times : "What do people see in [dogs], anyway? If I wanted someone to lick my face and poop on my lawn, I'd get back together with Farrah Fawcett." An old man (actually a puppet, Count Blah) talking about his testicles: "Mine hang so low I need a cold shower before I can get on an escalator." Two girls talking about not being invited to the office paintball game: "Guess they didn't invite anyone with boobs," says one. "Except Mickey, the fat grip," replies the other. This is what aging television reviewers, dancing frantically to the Zeitgeist, like to euphemize as "mature subject matter." Sweet, isn't it?
Greg the Bunny, which was created by two NYU film grads, Dan Milano and Spencer Chinoy, is undeniably smart and inventive in certain ways -- the puppets are brilliantly done, there are lots of deft, amusing send-ups of actors and the television world, and the writers know their way around plot and characterization -- but it's often staggeringly jaded and cynical. Lack of talent isn't the problem here; it's lack of soul. Like a lot of contemporary cutups, the writers think that the opposite of being P.C. is being gross. One episode, in which the friendship between Greg and Jimmy is threatened, centers on a vicious paintball game and the castration of a dog. But it all ends up sweetly enough, with Greg and Jimmy reunited at last. Even at its most rebellious, Hollywood won't forsake the happy ending: It'll just make you swim through a sewer to get there.
The best comedy is liberating, but the brand on display here is more like a pop-culture prison. Almost everything feels like joyless parody, almost everyone is condemned to being a jerk. Thus Gil Bender (Eugene Levy), Jimmy's father and the producer of Sweetknuckle Junction, is a pompous ass; Alison, a female executive (Sarah Silverman), is a conniving vixen; puppet Warren "The Ape" Demontague is a self-important thespian -- and so on. In one episode, the entire puppet race (or "Puppish community") functions as a caricature of Ebonics-spouting black nationalists, complete with a Puppish leader who's an obvious takeoff on Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. The result is demeaning to everyone. The creators of Greg the Bunny think they're satirizing television, but they're in love with its worst aspects.
As a cautionary tale about the folly of parents who prefer to befriend their children rather than act like boring old moms and dads, Small Town Ecstasy, the forthcoming documentary on HBO (Sunday, April 28, 10 p.m.), could hardly be bettered. Filmed in Northern California, it's the story of a once upright citizen (Scott) who, at the age of 40, leaves his wife and starts hanging out with his 18-year-old son (Craig), a college dropout with a crash pad in Sacramento and a taste for Ecstasy. In the throes of a midlife crisis, Scott imitates his son's lifestyle: He gets into Ecstasy, dyes his hair blond, attends raves and starts acting like a goofy teenager with an abnormal number of wrinkles.
If that were the extent of it, Scott's case would amount to no more than an unusually extreme version of middle-aged angst. What makes him so singular is that he enlists his other children (13-year-old Sam and 15-year-old Heather) into his new pill-popping lifestyle as well. Scott isn't a guy who just wants to break out of his marriage and live it up for a while; he actually wants to look, think and behave like his own kids, and he won't stop even when it's revealed that son Craig has already suffered significant brain damage from the drug. There's plenty of grisly stuff on television, but I've seen few images more weirdly disturbing than that of Scott, dressed in moronically bright yellow and wearing a backward sun visor, walking down the street with his similarly attired offspring on the way to a rave.
His actions may be evil, but Scott seems like a perfectly nice guy -- it's The Banality of E -- as do his wife and children and just about everybody else in this documentary, even if his wife is forced into playing the scold. Scott may not care about his wife, but he does seem to care about his children, and his children care about each other. (Eventually, they care about their mother as well, though they initially side with their dad -- hardly surprising, since he gives them money to buy drugs and encourages them to go to raves.) So, other than the fact that they're so willing to air their dirty laundry on TV -- a form of pathology in itself -- what's wrong with this family and how did this happen to them?

A group of residents from the Perth suburb of Nedlands were escorted from an area of bushland earmarked as part of an expansion at the QE 11 medical centre.
The protesters say they are angry that the State Government intends to clear the bushland for a car park.
Several people climbed a fence and vowed to stop the chainsaws.
Security staff warned the group they were trespassing and police arrived to escort them out of the area.
Public relations staff from the hospital also asked the media to move on.

B L O U S E is based out of a 6,000 square-foot warehouse in North Portland. The project started in the summer of 2010, after Los Angeles native Charlie Hilton met Patrick Adams in art school. They made a few home recordings and soon began spending nights at the warehouse recording with Jacob Portrait (Producer of Mint Chicks, Dandy Warhols, Starfucker). Having played music since their teens, the three found that there was something inexplicable in their coming together. After posting two demo tracks to Bandcamp's website, the group was picked up by Captured Tracks out of Brooklyn, NY. A 7" single of Into Black was released at the end of March '11 by Captured Tracks. Sub Pop Records will be releasing the second single for Shadow on May 31st.

They know your secrets
These people who look after our bodies reveal to Kawai Wong and Jacky Lee what they know about Hongkongers
Cantlie Chan
Gym manager and personal trainer, FitMax
Who are you? I started as an instructor at a local body training gym in 1991. I now manage most of Sun Hung Kai Properties' gyms including the Space at the ICC. I also own a personal training studio called Private Training Specialist.
What do you know? My second job was as a duty instructor at the Jockey Club gym. Unlike a personal trainer, an instructor merely teaches gym-goers how to operate the machines. Some of my colleagues moaned about me drafting training programmes for clients as it put pressure on them to do something out of their contractual duties. Eventually I quit what I enjoyed doing because I didn't want to feud.
One day Leslie Cheung (the late mega Cantopop star and award-winning film actor), who trained at the Jockey Club, phoned me and invited me for a meal. It was little me he called! We got chatting and I told him I just quit without really knowing what I wanted to do next. Cheung said: "Why don't you train me? I have an upcoming tour." Without doing any market research whatsoever, he offered me – on the spot – a monthly sum which was bigger than my previous salary. He eventually went on his world tour and was away from Hong Kong for months on end, and I just felt like I couldn't take his salary for doing nothing any more. I rang him and he said: "It's not your fault, is it? It's me who's away. It's me who's busy. It's not as if you're busy and can't train me. If that was the case then we have a problem. So – don't worry about it." It was very generous of him but I had moved on because I felt it was unfair to him.
I ended up doing my own thing – but I wouldn't forget that, when I was at my most lost, Cheung gave me this opportunity which projected my life in a different direction. After that he still invited me to his annual Christmas and New Year dinners and he always sat me next to him and called me 'instructor' in front of his friends, so they warmed to me too. Cheung's passion and generosity towards people was infectious. His attitude even extended to strangers. He has changed me profoundly. I understand the importance of giving opportunities to people and to just be a real person.
On a different note… Did you know that you can tell a gym-goer's personality just by looking at how he operates the treadmill? My experience tells me that those who run up close to the panel tend to be more aggressive and anxious in life. They don't want to lose a second – they want to be up in the front! Those who run near the end of the belt tend to be more laid-back and chilled – and those who run in the middle are usually quite normal. How you word your instructions to these personalities thus vary accordingly. While you can yell at those at the front as they can take more pressure, you've got to be more relaxed when coaching those who run at the back.
Saso Popovic
Boxing coach and personal trainer, Pure Fitness
Who are you? Kickboxing is my life. I started when I was a teenager and competed for my country, Slovenia. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2008 I was hired by Pure Fitness as a boxing trainer, who specialises in kickboxing.
What do you know? A lot of my clients have successful, high-flying careers. They are very committed and determined. Even when they have no time to train or exercise, they manage to find time. It can be 7am or late at night. This is very different from European countries, where you can just relax anytime of the day.
But, even though all of my clients are financially happy, they seem to have forgotten the simple pleasures of life – such as finding a minute in their daily routine to smell that flower by the road and, simply, appreciate life. Hongkongers can be angry but the right anger is good sometimes. A female client told me the other day she was groped from behind on the MTR and she gave the asshole a warning before she literally knocked the guy out cold. She wouldn't have been able to defend herself like many others in this city – but, with some basic self defence, more people can feel confident when going out at night.
Anna Treier
Facial therapist, Sense of Touch
Who are you? I moved to Hong Kong 11 years ago from Manila and I opened Sense of Touch in 1992. I worked as a facial therapist from 2002 to 2006 and I now focus more on management.
What do you know? Therapists are generally known to be kind and caring because when you touch a person intimately, you have this special connection with them and that alone needs a degree of trust. There have been clients who started crying when I put my hands on them because of the issues in their lives and their bottled-up feelings and stress. I remember a client who was engaged to her husband and, at first, we talked about pleasant stories like how they wanted the wedding to be perfect. But the topic gradually became upsetting for her. Eventually she began crying because her husband wasn't showing much support in the wedding planning. I mean, I'm also married, so I understand what she was going through. When she asked me what she should do, that was the only time I gave advice. I'm a person of no direct interest and we have no mutual friends, so that's why my clients open up to me. People don't tell their friends secrets because they don't want to be judged – or they want to maintain their reputation as 'a person who is way up there'. I think of myself as an unprofessional psychologist – but when a person walks into my spa, he/she may appear cheerful and strong. But you can never tell if their world is secretly crumbling inside.
John Mouzakis
Hairstylist, Private I
Who are you? I'm originally from Detroit and I trained at Vidal Sassoon. I have been cutting hair since I was 17.
What do you know? One day a client told me her daughter was coming in. She said the daughter was in her late 20s and she had been expecting her first child – but, a couple of days before her due day, the girl's body went into shock and she had a miscarriage. I was told she hadn't left her bed since – and wouldn't talk to anyone apart from her husband. When her family finally persuaded her to come in, she couldn't walk because her spine was all screwed up, and she just looked an extremely down person – imagine post-natal depression times a million. But, we just joked around and I treated her like a normal person. I became the first person she spoke to about the incident, apart from her husband, and she was crying after the cut because she hadn't felt like she'd possessed any quality which could make her feel beautiful any more. But getting rid of that old hair was like chopping off the old memory. The thing is, when something devastating happens, people who are close to the victim often tread on eggshells and don't know how to behave around them. Sometimes pity and sympathy are reminders of the tragic past, and if you want to help – just treat them like a normal person and move them on.
Martina Lee
Yoga teacher, Pure Fitness
Who are you? I've been a yoga teacher for eight years now.
What do you know? The majority of the students here are very stressed due to the amount of work they do. When they walk in here, their body postures are stiff, they breathe incorrectly and their shoulders are up to their ears. Their body rigidity probably reflects their mental attitudes. There's one student who I've got to know well, who doesn't ask for help at work and makes harsh demands from people. He gets upset when his colleagues don't meet his expectations. The thing is, if you maintain your posture and breathing, it's physically impossible to get angry. Generally people complain about how crappy their job is and how pissed off they are with their bosses and unreasonable customers. But I notice that they don't have a lot of courage to communicate better. There's a general culture where people just pretend. They put up with unreasonable requests and don't express their true thoughts for the fear of losing their job. But it's interesting to note that many of my other students decide to make changes to their lives eventually. They change jobs and they become happier.
Ashley McDonald
Masseuse, Sutherland-Chan Centre
Who are you? I moved to Hong Kong five years ago from Canada, where I was practicing medical massages.
What do you know? Where I'm from, massage is classified as an actual treatment. It comes included in your health insurance. In Hong Kong, my patients usually have chronic health problems which don't really have a quick fix. I've noticed that stress plays a big factor in their health. I know this patient who was going through a divorce and she mentioned how stressful it was. It was hard for her to deal with and she wanted to stay strong for the children. It literally took a big toll on her. But she came in here just to let go and get the treatment she physically needed. Hongkongers barely have any time for themselves. They spend more hours working here than in any other country – even when they don't need to. They just want to be more accomplished. Their posture from overworking shows and they forget to be themselves or to breathe and relax. These problems manifest into their daily lives. They become easily irritated – particularly in that moody atmosphere in the MTR.

Distinguished Feminist Award
The Distinguished Feminist Award, first presented in 2009, honors a person who, through his or her art, scholarship, or advocacy, has advanced the cause of equality for women in the arts. This award replaces the Annual Recognition Awards given by CAA's Committee on Women in the Arts (CWA) from 1996 to 2008 at a ceremony at the Annual Conference.
2013 Winners
CAA recognizes Harmony Hammond for her outstanding contributions to feminist and queer culture through art, writing, curating, teaching, and activism. Since the 1960s, she has created muscular, tactile paintings and sculptures that have redefined abstraction in contemporary art. Once at the forefront of the feminist reclamation of craft-based processes throughout the 1970s, Hammond has continued to innovate brilliantly with materials. Her most recent monochromes persistently grapple with the physical properties of paint and are intricately related to a feminist and queer politics of spectatorship. A founding member of A.I.R. Gallery and the Heresies Collective, Hammond has organized many exhibitions featuring women artists throughout her career. She has also been the leading light for promoting, documenting, and historicizing lesbian artists in the United States. Based in New Mexico, Hammond remains an active art critic and advocate for local art production and is a brilliant, generous teacher who energetically mentors students in their study of art making, art history, and aikido, a Japanese martial art.
For over forty years, Martha Rosler's pioneering work as an artist, activist, and educator has consistently put her at the leading edge of contemporary art. Since her groundbreaking Body Beautiful and Bringing the War Home collages of the late 1960s, she has been acknowledged as an incisive analyst of the myths and realities of contemporary culture and is recognized among the most influential artists of her generation. Rosler's prolific, boundary-shattering practice—including work in video, photo-text, performance, and installation—has taken on public space, systems of transportation, issues of war, surveillance, and information, and women's voices and experience regarding all of the above. She has also covered these subjects with her students at Rutgers University, where she taught for thirty years, in the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program, and most recently at the dozens of international lectures and workshops that have increasingly intersected with her often-collaborative studio practice. Rosler's critical writing is also recognized for the same, lucid perspectives on the ongoing, ever-evolving connections among consumerism, technology, politics, sexism, class divisions, and violence that are reflected in her artwork.
Past Winners
Read a list of all winners of the Distinguished Feminist Award. Recipients of the CWA Annual Recognition Awards have included Agnes Gund, Louise Bourgeouis, Linda Nochlin, Nancy Spero, Betye Saar, and Moira Roth, among others.
Award Nominations

In a group of no more than 16 travellers, gain a glimpse of this inscrutable country. While your Western tour leader takes care of logistics, Japanese guides will help to shed some light on the contradictions of a deeply traditional yet modern society. The small group size makes a big difference when travelling in such a reserved culture. Our respect for the local mores is rewarded with insights not accessible to larger groups: an authentic tea ceremony at Kenrokuen Garden, and a highly exclusive Geisha dinner and performance in Kyoto.
Sprawled over four mountainous, thickly-forested islands, Japan's diversity is showcased in our tours. From the world's largest fish market, Tsukiji in ultra-modern Tokyo, to an origami lesson among the thatched dwellings of UNESCO-preserved Shirakawago, our Japan small group tours are perfectly balanced.

BIG BAY -- Thursday is the big day. President Obama will be on the NMU campus to discuss the university's use of WiMax technology and the influence it has on the surrounding community.
But soon, other schools in the area will be installing WiMax systems to enhance the learning experience for students, such as Powell Township School.
Ben Wright has always been a math whiz. This Powell Township eighth grader takes high school level Algebra I online through Michigan Virtual University while his classmates take regular eighth grade math.
"I log in, go to the study resources for Algebra 1 Testing, and I go lesson by lesson through the whole semester," says Ben.
The school, which takes pride in its commitment to technology, works to incorporate online learning in every classroom. And soon, it will be using one of the strongest signals available. Within the next couple of weeks, a WiMax system will be installed at Powell Township School, then teachers will begin utilizing this tool in their classrooms.
Powell Township Principal Sam Oslund says WiMax technology will allow students at Powell to take virtual field trips and participate in long distance learning.
"It provides an opportunity for our children to reach out to the rest of the world, as I see it," says Oslund.
Powell's use of WiMax will serve as a model for what President Obama envisions for our future with his national wireless initiative.
In his State of the Union speech, the President said he's working to get wireless coverage for 98 percent of Americans including those in rural areas.
"We're 30 miles from any potential sites for field trips, but by having the ability to go online and off-site, we can literally go anywhere in the world," Oslund says.
Big Bay will receive NMU's WiMax signal from the town's water tower. Powell students are looking forward to receiving WiMax...and for the president's visit.

Flavor Flav has a date in court today after he was arrested yesterday for arguing with his fiancee and threatening her 17-year-old son.
His fiancee, Elizabeth Trujillo, told police her son stepped in when Flav threw her to the ground at her Las Vegas home when they argued about infidelity. She says Flav grabbed two knives and chased her son to a bedroom and kicked in the door.
Flav told police he scuffled with Trujillo and her son but denies making threats.
Flav faces a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon, which carries a penalty of up to six years in prison. He also faces a misdemeanor domestic violence charge that carries a penalty of up to six months in jail.
Flav is being held on $23,000 bail.

Brewing Signs of Housing Trouble We've all been wondering how home prices could be soaring when wages are so low and an estimated 10 million foreclosures have been completed. Now a wave of reports are pointing to more trouble in residential real estate. Read more about Brewing Signs of Housing TroubleAdd new comment3916 reads
Headlines Blare Americans Lose 40% of Their Wealth Yet Income Decline is the Real Horror Story The Federal Reserve released a report, the 2010 Survey of Consumer Finances. This is a report on household wealth from 2007-2010, removing effects of inflation. No surprise, median net worth declined by 38.8% from 2007 to 2010 and is down to 1992 levels. Why this should be no surprise is due to the housing bubble and declining home values. A home is the largest asset many people have.

Nominal New Home Prices Plunge Nominal new home prices plunge record -15.1% yr/yr to January yet sales plunge and inventories soar; durable goods orders also plunged in January. The key finding in today's Census Bureau report on new single-family home sales in January is that the median nominal price plunged -15.1% yr/yr, the worst decline on record back to 1963. New home prices were down -7.8% in the year ending December 2007. Also very important is that the inventory of unsold new homes soared to a 9.9 month supply in January, the worst glut of empty new homes since October 1981. Unsold inventories represented a 9.5 month supply in December and a 7.2 month supply in January 2007. Read more about Nominal New Home Prices Plunge4244 reads

Monitor For IP Traffic without SNMP
iptotal is yet another IP traffic monitor. It listens to a network interface in non-promiscuous mode, and measures IP bandwidth usage. After the specified number of seconds, the average throughput is printed at total, input and output usage.
The utility can be used to measure bandwidth usage without the need for an SNMP daemon. In combination with a simple script and rrdtool it can be used to present the measured data in graphical format e.g. through a web interface.
You could run this with a simple command iptotal eth1 -r 120 (120 is the number of seconds it will listen to packets before reporting)
or you also use the pomiscuous mode with high debug level which might look like this: iptotal eth1 -r 120 -d 3 -P

Well its July 27th and I finally gave up on them. 3-4 days ago I read an article about plants needing to be less than an inch away from the CFL's for optimum growth and I moved the plants close to them and went to bed. I was all worried they werent growing fast enough as I thought after two weeks the root ball should fill a 16oz cup. Woke up 5 hours later and all the leaves were pointing strait up and I knew they were baked. I tried to salvage them but they were too far gone. I'll never know how good those seeds would have been I ended up looking through pics of two week old plants and mine were right on target -- pointless killing.......
In other news, I got my hands on a pair of 100w 10k+ lumen CFL's with 6500k light for $25/each to be my seedling/clone lights in my setup. I also got 10 White Widow seeds from Nirvana on the way. This time around I'm going to play it by the books and be careful with what I do. I also think my soil mixture was way too rich and needed more perelite because my root structure was underdeveloped for a two week old plant. Anyways, I'm pretty discouraged but not too many people are good on their first grow so I'm not giving up.
I've also settled on a four room modular cabinet design; something stackable that can be disassembled and stacked in a closet when company is around. One seedling/clone area with CFL's, One Veg Area with metal halide, one flowering area with a sodium light, and a fourth very small room to house my main fan. Should be a pretty decent steady harvest. Right now im working out the square footage and debating 400w vs 600w. My main exaust is through a 4in dryer duct so cooling is the big question. The plants will be cooled via active fans venting into the surrounding area but the lighting is all sealed and venting only through the dryer duct. I have the plans in a CAD program, I just cant set a square footage and leave it.
I'll update when the seeds arrive or I get my plans for my cab finalized.

Hundreds of residents from Coney Island who were evacuated to a high school in Midwood, Brooklyn got a visit from the mayor on Sunday, and maybe who were there expressed gratitude for their shelter from the storm. NY1's Courtney Gross filed the following report.
At 2 p.m. on Saturday, about 500 other people who lived in Coney Island arrived at Roosevelt High School in Midwood, Brooklyn, one of the city's 90-plus evacuation centers set up to respond to Hurricane Irene's fearsome spin.
After the Bloomberg administration's botched blizzard preparation in December, many were bracing for what Irene would bring. But at Roosevelt, Coney Island residents found true refuge from the storm.
"We had nice meals here. It was very helpful. We had a good time here," said an evacuee.
The people at the shelter were fed meatballs for dinner, cereal for breakfast. Children ran up and down the halls and men played cards. Cots spilled into classrooms, each about a foot apart.
The biggest complaint was the heat and 40 fans were promptly dropped off by the Parks Department.
When the National Guard arrived at midnight, they were told they were not needed. The storm on the outside never penetrated the school house walls.
The shelter did run out of cots, but the overflow was quickly transported to a nearby school.
"It's even more wonderful to be out of harm's way. I am glad I am here," said a man at the shelter.
Overall, the Roosevelt experience was a success story, so much so that Mayor Michael Bloomberg made a surprise visit Sunday morning. He championed the scores of volunteers who manned the food lines and kept a constant stream of movies playing in the school auditorium.
"It gave me a great feeling about New Yorkers. The volunteers, the city employees that came to take care of people who didn't have a place to stay," said the mayor. "People here were very appreciative of everything that everybody was doing for them. They kept saying it was so wonderful."
After 24 hours and a little sleep deprivation, it seemed things ran relatively smoothly here at Roosevelt High. It might have been blustery outside, but it was calm on the inside.

Non-Strikers Who Have Outscored Fernando Torres and Andy Carroll
By (Correspondent) on April 19, 2012
1,106 reads
Jamie McDonald/Getty Images
Chelsea's Fernando Torres and Liverpool's Andy Carroll will forever be linked as the two big-money signings of the January 2011 transfer window. Sadly for them, they also share the distinction of not living up to expectations.
Torres was one of the Premier League's top-rated strikers during his four seasons with Liverpool. Between 2007 and 2011, he scored 65 goals in 102 appearances. Since his transfer to Chelsea for a fee of £50 million, Torres has been a major disappointment. He has scored just four league goals and has spent more time on the bench than the pitch.
The 23-year-old Carroll moved from Newcastle to Liverpool in a huge £35 million transfer deal. Carroll was brought in to be Torres' replacement and was immediately under the microscope. Whether fair or not, Carroll has been having a hard time living up to the expectations.
With just four games remaining in the 2011-2012 campaign, Torres has scored three goals and contributed four assists. Carroll sits at four goals with one assist.
Meanwhile, there are a number of midfield players and one defender who have outscored both of these big-name strikers. Here's a look at who they are:
Thomas Vermaelen
Thomas Vermaelen leads all defenders in goal scoring

Arsenal's Thomas Vermaelen has become a core part of the club's defensive unit. It doesn't hurt that he also has a knack for scoring as well. In 25 league appearances this season, Vermaelen has notched six goals and has one assist. Vermaelen scored game-winners in two consecutive matches versus Newcastle and Everton in March.
Clint Dempsey

Fulham's American midfielder Clint Dempsey is in the midst of a breakout season. Dempsey is currently the EPL's fourth-leading goal scorer with 16. He has also contributed five assists in 33 games.
Frank Lampard

It's no surprise that Chelsea's Frank Lampard is on this list. The club's long-serving midfielder has put the ball in the back of the net 11 times in 28 league matches. He has also provided five assists.
Gareth Bale

Tottenham's Gareth Bale has established himself as one of the Premier League's rising stars. The Welsh midfielder has nine goals and eight assists in 31 EPL matches.

Manchester United's Nani continues to be a contributor to the club's run of success. The midfielder is responsible for eight goals and eight assists in 26 league appearances this season.

Mikel Arteta

When Cesc Fabregas left Arsenal for Barcelona this past summer, the club turned to another Spaniard to work the midfield.

Sebastian Larsson

Adam Johnson

French midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa has been a major contributor to Newcastle's successful season. In 21 EPL appearances, Ben Arfa has five goals along with five assists.

By BRETT BARROUQUERE, Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A condemned killer's fight to receive surgery for agonizing hip pain pushed Kentucky officials into an uncomfortable debate over security, politics and even the possibility of inviting scorn from Fox News pundits.
Emails and memos obtained by The Associated Press show corrections officials struggling for a year to reconcile their duty to provide medical care with the political ramifications of spending tens of thousands of dollars for surgery on a man they plan to execute. A key problem would turn out to be security issues that led several hospitals to balk at treating inmate Robert Foley, who still hasn't had the surgery.
"Hip replacement for an inmate who has exhausted all appeals and will soon be executed?" Kentucky State Penitentiary warden Phil Parker wrote in an email on Nov. 22, 2010. "I can see this making Fox News on a slow news day, maybe even on a busy news day. In fact, I bet (Fox News host Bill O'Reilly) would love to put this in his 'Pinheads' commentary. Just a thought to consider before it goes too much further."
Prison officials also made contingency plans to call off the surgery if Gov. Steve Beshear set an execution date, and they considered whether to consult with him about the procedure.
"I think it is that important and all this may have political consequences," Parker wrote a year before Beshear's re-election. Ultimately, Beshear's spokeswoman said he wasn't contacted about it.
Foley, 55, was convicted of killing six people in eastern Kentucky in 1989 and 1991, making him the most prolific killer on the state's death row. His status as an extremely dangerous prisoner was a key factor in the state's difficulty finding a surgeon and hospital, according to the documents obtained through a public records request and a lawsuit filed by Foley.
Foley still hasn't had the surgery, with Parker lamenting in an email they had no options after an exhaustive search.
State officials deny that politics played a role, and there's no evidence in the documents that political considerations prevented the surgery.
A spokeswoman for the Kentucky Justice Cabinet — which oversees corrections and law enforcement — declined to comment because of the pending lawsuit.
Foley's attorney, Jamesa Drake, said the state needs a way to care for condemned inmates, even those with complex needs. Foley, who has been on death row since 1993, is unable to get around without help because he's at risk of a dangerous fall, Drake said.
"If you're on death row, it's just like anybody else," Drake said. "If you need a new hip, you need a new hip. It hurts."
The Department of Corrections acknowledged his degenerative hip in a response to the lawsuit, but also said he has been receiving adequate care. The federal lawsuit filed in March is pending.
Corrections Department attorney Brenn Combs wrote to Drake that the Department of Corrections couldn't enter into a legal agreement about the hip surgery because it would impose requirements exceeding "our legal duty regarding inmate health care."
"The Department is not interested in doing that and, like me, nobody else here can see a way that it would help inmate Foley," Combs said in a Nov. 14 email.
It's not unusual for inmates to receive treatment outside of prison, and Foley has twice left death row for other surgical procedures.
Foley first complained to prison officials about the persistent pain in his right hip in September 2010, saying his leg sometimes "gives out on him," according to the lawsuit.
Foley initially didn't want the surgery and tried to fashion his own hip brace out of "flip flops and other everyday items." Foley said the brace helped with the pain in an affidavit signed in February, but prison officials confiscated it.
After Foley agreed to the surgery, officials searched for a doctor to perform the $56,000 operation. At the time, Foley was under a death warrant signed by Beshear.
"If and when an order is received to execute Foley, I will contact (then-prison medical director Dr. Scott Haas) to try to stop all medical procedures related to his hip replacement," Parker wrote.

Looks like fatherhood has turned Diego Luna from shy and evasive to downright gregarious. The Mexican actor and his wife Camila Sodi welcomed their son Jerónimo on August 9, and Diego can't help himself from gushing about the experience:
"We're really enjoying this moment and we're so grateful to everyone who's been here to share this with us over the past few days," said the actor in a statement released by his film production company, Canana Films.

Eva Longoria Parker is so charged by the success of her L.A. eatery Beso and plans for the similarly-themed nightclub in Las Vegas, she's ready to expand her empire across the pond—to Europe.
She may have a body that makes 20-somethings jealous and a charm that has made her the top earning actress in Hollywood, but even Cameron Diaz can't count on job security. The 35-year-old actress, whose films have grossed close to $3 billion over the years, admits that she's feeling the effects of ageism in Hollywood.
Gaby Bo, the ex-wife of Mexican pop singer Christian Castro claims Daisy Fuentes was behind some of their marital problems. She told Escandalo TV that she caught her then husband chatting up Daisy at a Los Angeles mall. When she approached him, he continued his misbehavior, telling the Cuban American beauty that he loved her and she was really important to him. Gaby slapped her husband in front of Daisy and eventually they divorced as Christian became more and more of a scumbag. Nothing shocking there, but how did
Defying the odds, Cameron Diaz and her model-boyfriend Paul Sculfor (of Jennifer Aniston-dating fame) are still together, and looking forward to turning their summer fling into a serious relationship.

As a veteran of World War II and the Korean Conflict, I am writing to thank all of those who helped provide excellent programs to honor veterans on Tuesday, Nov. 9 at Campbellsville Middle School and on Thursday, Nov. 11 at Taylor County High School and at the Taylor County Courthouse. On Tuesday, Nov. 16, we veterans were again honored at Campbellsville High School. All participants did an excellent job, especially the CMS Eagle Choir whose members sang beautifully from memory all of the military hymns on Tuesday at CMS and on Thursday at the courthouse square.
Recently, the Courier-Journal reported that Dr. Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville, wrote at length to instruct Christians not to do yoga. He says, "The embrace of yoga is a symptom of our postmodern spiritual confusion, and, to our shame, this confusion reaches into the church."
On behalf of all of the volunteers, participants and sponsors, I would like to extend a huge thank you to all who made this year's event possible. Once again we had a wonderful day outside in the great outdoors enjoying the beautiful resources that God has given us.
I am writing this letter as a public endorsement of the re-election of Mayor Brenda Allen. Allen has been a wonderful mayor for this community for the last eight years and she certainly has earned an additional term of office.
During her time as mayor, she has dealt with difficult personnel issues with tact and with firmness; she has down-sized the administration of the Water Co. without losing any effectiveness of the job that the Water Co. is doing in our community; and she has maintained emergency community services through times of economic uncertainty.
I am writing to express my support for Eddie "Hack" Marcum as candidate for Taylor County jailer. I have known Marcum for many years, both professionally and personally. He is a hard worker who strives to do the best job in whatever endeavor he chooses.
I believe his prior law enforcement and business management experience make him the best candidate for jailer of Taylor County.
Russ Mobley
This letter is to endorse Allen Newton for Taylor County sheriff.
Newton is a hard-working Taylor County boy who has many years of experience in the Taylor County Sheriff's Department. More importantly, he can relate to people and doesn't look down on people.
I have worked close to the courthouse for 30 years, and I know Newton will operate the sheriff's office with fairness and common sense. We don't have to guess and wonder about that. We know him and he knows us.
Rodger Cox
This letter is to add our voice of support to Judge Eddie Rodgers in his re-election campaign because we lived, first hand, the dedication and hard work he does for Taylor County. As a young business that wished to locate in Taylor County, Rogers was our constant help and support. He used his relationships in Frankfort to bring our company and the jobs we had hoped to provide for the people of Taylor County to the attention of everyone from the governor of your great state to the Kentucky State Economic Development Division, all of whom worked on our behalf.
We are writing this letter in support of Joey Wasson, PVA candidate. We feel Wasson is the right man for this job. He is honest, intelligent, hard working, positive and above all certainly a great person.
With the upcoming election and the strong desire for change that is sweeping across the nation, I wish to voice my concerns. While I too desire a drastic change in the political realm throughout this nation, we have a local office that I feel at this time does not need change. I am speaking of our mayor's office.
At this time of economic hardship, now more than ever, we need experience in this office to handle our tax money, not someone with no experience or knowledge of this job.
My name is Patricia Murphy. I have a criminal justice degree and I have worked at the Marion Adjustment Center, Marion County Detention Center and Northpoint Training Center.
I read Hack Marcum's piece in the CKNJ and I commend his idea of having the inmates prepare their own meals and maintain a kitchen. An inmate needs that responsibility to maintain a productive jail at the lowest cost possible. I was shocked when I found out that the canteen and kitchen at the Taylor County Detention Center was contracted out.

"Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work." – Stephen King
As we pick up again, lots has happened. A&E in their "infinite wisdom" has decided not to renew "Breakout Kings" for a third season. Instead, Nick has signed an overall deal with CBS to develop new series with them. His first assignment will be as co-executive on "Vegas."
Nick has also supplied us with a video of a scene he produced and directed that will give you a taste of how he envisions Fifteen Digits.
Neely: What are you reading right now?
Nick: I'm writing right now.
Neely: So what's the last book you read?
Nick: I'm a big fan of the author John Fante. He was from LA and has been dead for quite some time now, but I'm reading his biography, which is really dense and really thick. He's a guy who no one really appreciated when he was alive…
Neely: …there seems to be a big resurgence in John Fante right now.
Nick: Yes, there is. And Full of Life by Fante was given to me as a gift by the actor Michael Rappaport. He said, "If anyone's going to like this book, it's going to be you. Read it." I read it and all I could think was, "Where has this guy been all my life?" It's an Italian American story, which is obviously something that is dear to my heart. And it's a story of an Italian artist. I wish I were as good an artist as John Fante.
Neely: Who are some of your other favorite authors?
Nick: Lorenzo Carcaterra – I really liked Sleepers. He's also a pal. I enjoy reading non-fiction… (Stephen) Ambrose.
Neely: My current favorite in the non-fiction category is In the Garden of the Beasts by Erik Larsen. He also wrote Devil in the White City.
Nick: Oh. Yeah! Everyone talks about Devil in the White City.
Neely: Devil in the White City is spectacular, but In the Garden of the Beasts has more resonance in terms of time, because it's about the Nazis. It's one of the most frightening books I've ever read, even though it's already 70 years past and you know the outcome. You still want to say, "Stop them!"
Nick: The time doesn't matter. I can't bear it… I don't know if you saw "X-Men: First Class," but the beginning of the film shows the young boy being separated from his parents as the Nazis are loading the trains. And I literally have to go like this (shields his eyes). I know there are cameras there; I know it's an actor. The problem is that I know that it actually happened at one point…
Neely: … it's like a movie or a book where a kid gets killed. As a parent I can't take it.
Nick: I have trouble with that too, but I am able to realize it was made up. But the reason I can't watch or read Nazi stuff is because I know that it actually happened. My grandfather was in World War II; he stormed the beaches; he served under Patton and so did both of his brothers, my great Uncles Frank and Joe. All three came home, amazingly.
Afterwards the soldiers were sent to some of the camps to help… a humanitarian mission. And my grandfather saw stuff that he wouldn't talk about. It's unbelievable that it happened. And I think it's important to show those things in films so that people don't forget it happened but I still have trouble watching it. I know that's sissy. I should be able to watch it.
Nick: No. I understand that completely. My grandfather was in a camp. Luckily my grandmother was smart enough to leave with my mother before they were taken. I had lunch yesterday with a good friend who had been sent to Auschwitz as a child and the Nazis had tried to separate her from her mother and she successfully clung to her mother without getting them both killed on the spot, which is what they were doing. So I understand that completely. I can't watch Holocaust movies.
Nick: I've never seen "Schindler's List." I've seen bits and pieces but I have to turn it off. I know it's acting and performing, but to me it's a recreation of something that was real and it freaks me out and upsets me and it angers me because I know… Well there's a great joke by a black comedian who said, "I getta kick outta my friends today who say, 'I'd like to see someone try to put me on a slave ship…' 'Really? They would have cracked the whip once and you would have said 'Where do you want me to go, sir?'" It's so easy for people to say, "Oh. I would never let that happen today." But when men with machine guns show up at your door and say, "Walk outside." You walk outside. Because all it is is about living another second.
It's terrifying and I can't get through those movies because to me they're re-creations of what really happened. Just can't get through them. My grandfather kept a Nazi flag that he tore down and brought to America. It was in the trunk of his basement. When I was a teenager and we were down there for something and he took it out and he showed it to me. And I said, "Grandpa, why do you have that?" And he said, "Because if people in this country ever forget, I will run it up the flagpole and say 'This could have been flying over every country in the world.' So don't forget what happened." People who went over there really know the evil. And people who had to live in those camps, really know the evil. We're safe now and we forget it, but I can't watch them.
Neely: As they say, You Must Never Forget.
Nick: No. No. That was Satan on earth.
Neely: Well, that's In the Garden of the Beasts. It is about… it's always about what they did to the Jews and what they did to everyone else. I guess what's still frightening about it is that even though it took place in the early to mid 30s, we knew. We were being informed about what was happening by a very hapless ambassador to Berlin. And yet we did nothing. But I can understand why that might not be top on your list.
What about movies? What have you been to see in the recent past?
Nick: I just saw "Jeff Who Lives at Home" and I thought it was absolutely delightful. I liked it. You didn't like it?
Neely: Not so much.
Nick: I thought it was delightful; I thought it was cute. I thought it was what it was supposed to be – a fun movie.
Neely: I had actually been looking forward to it; I thought it had potential. My problem with it was that the characters, other than the character of Jeff… Jason Segal is amazing. That face is one of the most expressive out there.
Nick: I'm a huge Jason Segal fan.
Neely: The difficulty for me was that there was absolutely no character development. None of it is situational. Ed Helms' character transforms from a pretty bad guy to all of a sudden, essentially without motivation or interim movement, to a good guy with "aha I get it." That doesn't happen.
Nick: It was formulaic.
Neely: It was formulaic, but it didn't hook me. I had to look at it critically because I reviewed it, but I was really disappointed…
Nick: …really!
Neely: …yes. Because it was full of possibilities and character was missing. There was no organic character development whatsoever.
Nick: It's funny but I went in and didn't even know what the movie was about. We had a babysitter and we were out, and that was good enough for us… we never go out. It was playing at a little Indie theater near our house. I love it; it's two theaters. When you leave, these high school students hand you a bowl of mints. It's like living back in the 1950s (not that I was alive back then). I went in, not even knowing what it was about; I just knew it was Jason Segal and Ed Helms and I like them so much. I didn't even know that Sarandon was in it and I love her. But it entertained me for an hour and a half. I wasn't expecting much…
Neely: I'm sure more people agree with you than agree with me. I did love "Five-Year Engagement" (note: check the review link under "Neely Uncensored").
Nick: I did recently see "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo."
Neely: The American one or the Swedish?
Nick: The American one with Rooney Mara and I did enjoy it although I felt like some of the investigative beats were a little too simple.
Neely: See the Swedish one.
Nick: I remember thinking at one point, "I don't think that would have gotten out of my writers' room – okay he tracked the photos to find this piece of information and he tracked other photos to something else. It was a little too easy. But I did really love Rooney Mara's performance. But the brutality in some of the scenes… I had to look away.
Neely: OMG, they soften some of that for the American version.
Nick: Yeah. I wouldn't want to see that.
Neely: It's one of those things where, yeah, they softened it but they also softened all the characters edges. It may not seem that way, but compared to the original, they softened the characters' edges and that wasn't a good thing. But I was surprised. I expected not to like the American version because I loved the original, but I found the American version to be well done, just disappointing. The assumption is always that an American audience can't take the hard edges.
Nick: Right. But you know what, it may very likely have been noted that way.
Neely: I'm sure. But in any case, it was pretty good. And anything that has Stellan Skarsgard in it…
Nick: What else have I seen recently? I saw "The Artist." I've seen all the kids' movies. I've got a 3-year old.
Neely: So you saw "Hugo."
Nick: I saw "Hugo" with my 8-year old. She was 7 at the time and it was a little over her head. I thought it was absolutely visually stunning. We also saw "The Lorax" recently. I see a lot of the kids' movies.
Neely: That one did not get a good review from me.
Nick: I'm a huge fan of "The Incredibles" which I think is one of the coolest films I've seen in a long time. I almost wish it could have been made live-action with the same look. I love "Monsters, Inc."
Neely: Those films had good scripts. "Lorax" didn't know what it wanted to be.
Nick: At the end of the day, "Lorax" felt to me like a really long public service announcement.
Neely: (laughing loudly) …with a High School Musical dance number and Danny DeVito miscast as a soft furry creature.
Nick: I'm a huge DeVito fan because one of my favorite shows ever is "Taxi" and I love "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." Louie DePalma in "Taxi" is one of the best characters ever. And I'm addicted to "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." I watch it every night when I get home. I go to sleep to it… I wind up watching five episodes before I fall asleep.
My favorite movie of all time is a film called "Mac." It was co-written and directed by John Turturro. It's just fantastic and beautiful. It's a love letter to the working man.
Neely: What do you watch on TV?
Nick: No dramas except for "Boardwalk Empire." Even if it wasn't incredibly well written, I could watch it just to look at it. The production values are so great. I think Terry Winter is one of the best TV writers ever. And also one of the nicest human beings you'd ever want to meet in your life. A total gentleman.
I love "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia;" I love "The League." I watch "The Office," I watch "30 Rock." I love the show "American Pickers" on the History Channel (Neely starts laughing). I tell my wife that I swear I'm going to quit this life and become a picker because when I was a little kid I used to collect garbage from the neighbors' garbage cans. I took an old ironing board once and put wheels on it. My dad came home from work one day and saw me riding down the street in New York on an ironing board with my friend Tracy Martin, a girl from the neighborhood, sitting behind me. I had a rope on the wheels and I was trying to steer it down the street. Think my father was going to kill me. But I love "American Pickers." I don't know if you've ever seen it; it's a great show. I also watch "Workaholics" on Comedy Central.
I don't like to watch dramas because I know the tricks. You can see them coming from a mile away. You'll know just based on who they cast who the bad guy is because you know he's not going to do a small part.
Neely: What about past favorites? What shows were influential?
Nick: "The Sopranos," obviously. It was the first produced credit I ever had. David Chase changed my life. That wouldn't happen today. It was ten years ago. A guy with no credits – I had no credits. I was working in a personal injury law firm in Brooklyn and he read a script that I wrote that won a film festival and said, basically, "I like the cut of your jib, kid. Write an episode." And it was ridiculous. Haven't spoken to him since, haven't seen him since. The guy changes my life, like a little magical fairy who sprinkled fairy dust on me and flew away. I'll always be appreciative.
I loved the first few seasons of "The Practice" so much because it really showed how hard it was to be a lawyer. When they started getting really successful on the show, it was like, "Oh no! Don't become those guys! I hate those guys." I was Jimmy the Grunt. I went from a giant corporate massive law firm to a guy on a billboard with my arms folded, looking tough. I was on a billboard in the Bronx with a phone number underneath it that said 1-888-I Can Sue. I swear to god.
Neely: (choking) I believe you. I do.
Nick: That number still exists. You can call it tomorrow. As a matter of fact, if any of your readers call it, tell them you were referred by Nick Santora. I'll get a piece of the case. (Neely giggling) I'm still licensed.
Anyway, I loved those first few seasons. I loved the last seasons too, but the first few seasons really spoke to me.
What other shows? "The Wire." And I watched every episode of "6 Feet Under," though I did enjoy the first seasons a little bit more. But people say that all the time. People said that about "Prison Break." They said the show lost its way. And I want to say to them, "You know what? It's hard to get a hundred episodes out of a show. It's hard to get six seasons out of a show. It really really is. And things come up that you don't know about. Like, "How come you wrote this character out?" "The actress was pregnant, buddy. We didn't have her for six months. What do you want us to do?" And they get mad at you for all of these reasons. People don't understand why "quote unquote" creative decisions are made.
I'm not a huge unscripted person, even though I created "Beauty and the Geek." I do like "So You Think You Can Dance." Not "Dancing with the Stars." I like "So You Think You Can Dance" because to me it's like watching incredible storytelling through dance. It's not like "American Idol," which I hate because it's bad Karaoke. Some of those people are very good singers, most are mediocre at best. You can pick up any backup singer on "Madonna's" tour or anyone who sings in Vegas backing up Gladys Knight and they're better than anyone on "American Idol." But "So You Think You Can Dance," those are some of the best dancers in the world. They are phenomenal; they're telling stories; and they're incredible athletes. It's like watching art and sports. It's unreal what these people can do with their bodies and I love that show.
Neely: I actually agree with you. It's one of the only reality shows I've ever watched. When Ken Miller, a great casting director on so many of the Kelley shows (and all of Chuck Lorre's) told me that he had been a dancer (a Broadway gypsy) and that he loved the show, it inspired me to watch it. I did, however, quit watching when they decided to expand it.
Nick: They contracted again. They're not going to do those huge results shows.
Neely: I want dance; I don't want to listen to those judges. I just want to see them dance. And I know a lot of dancers who feel the same way.
Nick: Yes. I couldn't agree with you more.
Neely: It's pure dance. Dance is my favorite art form because it incorporates the movement, the storytelling and the music. It's a 3-in-1 bonanza.
Nick: It's wonderful dance and the choreography is phenomenal. I feel the same exact way. And last season I stopped watching because it was just like a results show. They give less coverage to the Presidential primary. Election night doesn't drag on as long as the result shows. I stopped watching because it was annoying; but supposedly they're contracting it this year.
Neely: What have you got coming up that you can talk about?
Nick: I have my pilot called "Raiding Party," which did not get picked up at FBC (again). But it's the best thing I've ever written, honestly. We've already gotten some incoming calls from a few places that might be interested in it – nothing I can talk about.
Neely: …CBS, it you're reading this…
Nick: (laughing) I absolutely love this pilot and I know what the first 5 years will be. I sincerely hope it goes somewhere.
I have something else I'm very excited about – I just sold my first comedy feature that I'm writing with Adam Carolla called "The Professional Loser." I probably violated stalking statutes and just harassed the CEO of the Harlem Globetrotters, a really nice man named Kurt Schneider, until he agreed to let us have the rights to the Globetrotters so we could make this film. It's a comedy that really highlights the Globetrotters and the incredible family entertainment they provide, but tells it from the point of view of the Captain of the Washington Generals. So it's called "The Professional Loser" and it's really funny and I'm writing and producing it with Adam Carolla, who I just think is a comic genius.
Neely: Well, I'm no less of a fan-atic than I've ever been about you and your writing. Thanks for spending the time and know that I'll read whatever you throw my way.
Nick: I'm glad we finally met. I think it's hysterical that you read something I wrote 10 years ago and that we're finally sitting down. It's cool.

Yamaha DX9
The DX9 was a not-so-special spin off of the aggressively popular DX7. The DX9 wasn't a great synth, it had all of the headache problems associated with its DX7 relative. Difficult programming and limited MIDI implementation to name a few. Still, it is a 4-operator FM synth like the other DX synths and is capable of interesting sounds.
In the mid eighties when the DX9 appeared it was a welcome cheap alternative to the DX7. But current DX7 prices have nearly hurled the DX9 into obsoletion. Also, unlike the DX100 which is famous now for its gritty house-bass sound, the DX9 doesn't have any particular sounds that set it apart from other synths like it.
Any sound you can make with a DX100 you can make on the DX9 using the same parameters, etc. The DX7 has a different architecture (it's a 6 op synth for one) and it IS capable of sounds the DX9 is not. There are also differences sound structure and keyboard (velocity, etc). Finally there are different DX7 versions but all are 6op. Unlike the DX9/27/100/etc.
I have a dx9 and I would like to make those sounds.... can I download those sounds somewhere? thanks
