Elder Scrolls composer launches social campaign for concert
The Elder Scrolls score composer Jeremy Soule has asked fans to help him convince Bethesda to license or launch a concert highlighting the RPG franchise's orchestral score. Soule asked New York-based fans to indicate their interest on a Facebook status update – at time of writing, he'd attracted 1,563 Likes, 169 comments and 312 shares. Presumably having allowed one concert Besthesda could be persuaded to license its scores to other concert halls and symphonies around the world, perhaps resulting in a tour series like those Final Fantasy and The Legend of Zelda have spawned. Soule is a prolific composer and has scored several games and movies.
Thanks, Destructoid.

Shirts available at savethetarpon.com. |
Approximately $30,000 was raised for the organization's coffers. Those funds will not only help pay the small internet and marketing fees needed right now to keep their website going, but will go toward research as well.
Tom and Jennifer McLaughlin, two of Save the Tarpon's most integral organizers, have been running on a shoestring budget for quite some time. The community of Boca Grande and beyond rallied, though, to make the event worthwhile and memorable. A fish and chowder cook-off (Ronica Davis was deemed the winner), T-shirt sales and a live and silent auction were some of the ways STT raised money on Sunday.
Several people who feel strongly about the organization's cause spoke on Sunday. One was Lew Hastings, executive director of the Boca Grande Area Chamber of Commerce. His words mirrored the thoughts of many in the crowd.
"This is not about a fish," he said. "There are millions of fish and species that deserve their day in the sun. That deserve attention. That deserve respect. This is about an ecosystem, Our ecosystem. Their ecosystem. And what is unique to our area. And the role we play in the entirety of the tarpon life cycle and its effect around the world. This is not about any one man, woman or group. There are plenty of people who think they know what is best for the environment. But some are really only concerned for themselves ... they like to hear themselves talk. They talk a big game but when it comes to actually doing something, they really don't deliver."
He continued.
"Community is what matters. Community working together. Grassroots up is powerful. When the community says, like ours has, enough is enough. We will no longer tolerate the abuse of our natural resources and the misrepresentation of our community. Someone – everyone HAS to listen. And that is what is happening today."
Tom McLaughlin was overwhelmed with the community's response to Sunday's event.
"This means so much to me and all of us at Save the Tarpon," he said. "This is a community event. It isn't about a bunch of fishermen who are angry about someone coming down and fishing their hole, it's not about privatizing the Pass. It's about taking it back for the good of the community and the good of people everywhere. "To us, this is the perfect place, and we want to keep it that way. This is about giving us the opportunity to showcase Boca Grande to the world."
There are several ways to donate to Save the Tarpon. Go to their web site, savethetarpon.com, to find out more.
Save the Tarpon will also be at the Blue and Green Bash at Cape Haze Marina on Monday, March 11 at 5 p.m. along with representatives from the World's Richest Tarpon Tournament committee. Call 698-1100 for more information.

Canadian Committee on Women's History (CCWH)
Newsletter, 2005-6
The goal of the Canadian Committee on Women's History (CCWH) is to support and encourage women's history within Canada. This newsletter aims to give readers a snapshot of that activity. It begins with reports from this year's CCWH executive. Reports from graduate students (this time focusing on a particular conference) and the independent scholars representative follow. The next report is of special interest – here we see the important results of the Committee on the future of the CCWH. Reports from the regional representatives follow, starting west and working our way east. Thanks to Lesley Cowan for her help in preparing this newsletter, and to Christophe Horguelin for the translation.
Adele Perry, University of Manitoba,
Associate Chair, CCWH
Report from the Chair
The year kicked off with the 30th Anniversary bash and a strong representation of panels on women's history at the CHA at University of Western Ontario. The three anniversary sessions - "Race and Gender in the Making of the Canadian Historical Profession", "Great Books in Women's History", and "Reflections: 30 Years of the Canadian Committee on Women's History" – were extremely popular and members asked that we continue to put together special panels at the CHA. This year at York University a CCWH-organized panel picks up on the theme of the Congress – The City – focusing on the twentieth anniversary of the publication of Christine Stansell's City of Women. Beyond this panel our members are well represented throughout the program.
This past year was a fantastic one for women's history conferences beginning with the Berkshire Conference on the History of Women in June and continuing with the Labouring Feminisms Conference at University of Toronto in September. We supported graduate students attending the latter conference and we also heard from those attending the Berks for the first time. Inspired by their words, this years graduate student report focuses on that conference.
Perennial questions and challenges concerning our role, purpose, and identity persist. Issues of inclusion/exclusion remain and we need to address questions of relevance. Last year Catherine Carstairs and Lisa Chilton designed a survey of the membership to explore some of these issues. I thank them for their dedication and look forward to discussions emanating from their findings.
One area of immediate concern is the CCWH website. It is my opinion that we need to devote more funds to ensure that the web is kept up-to-date and searchable. For those of us familiar with it and Diana Pedersen's annual bibliographies we know it is a valuable resource but as Diana pointed out, one is hard pressed to find the bibliography from cyberspace. I would like to propose that we dedicate more money to the website/webspinner and move toward making a more pertinent site along the lines of H-Women. I thank Christine Ferguson for her webspinning over the last few years and welcome our new webspinner, Amanda Shaw from SFU.
Many thanks are in order from the chair's seat. First I wish to acknowledge the efforts of Lara Campbell (Treasurer), Adele Perry (Associate Chair), and the executive this past year. The University of Winnipeg, under the direction of Dean of Arts Neil Besner, made a generous donation of $1000 to the CCWH. Thanks to all.
Tamara Myers, University of Winnipeg
Report from the Secretary- Treasurer
I am currently working with our new webspinner, Amanda Shaw, to update the CCWH website. By the CHA meeting in May, we plan to have an updated membership directory, membership form, and minutes. Look for this easier to navigate website, which will also highlight the wonderful bibliographies done by Diana Pedersen, by early May.
At last spring's reception, CCWH members raised over $900 for the Barbara Roberts Scholarship fund, administered by CRIAW. Please donate generously again this year, as the success of this scholarship depends on your generous contributions.
Last year, many full time, employed members of the CCWH sponsored membership for graduate students. I would encourage everyone to think about doing the same this year-it's a wonderful way to introduce new historians to the work and activities of the CCWH.
Lara Campbell, Secretary-Treasurer, Simon Fraser University
Independent scholars are neither professors nor students but make up an important group of dynamic women's historians. They have been active across Canada, pursuing research, writing, publishing, teaching part-time, and working in a variety of positions as well as settings. While many independent scholars are attached to a variety of institutions, others are without any affiliation. Consequently, this diverse group does not regularly communicate amongst each other and with the CCWH.
Clearly a need exists to encourage better links amongst independent scholars so that on one hand their successes can be celebrated and on the other hand some of the difficulties associated with an independent status may be addressed. This is a call to independent scholars to have a voice in the CCHW. Perhaps a round table on this subject at next year's meeting of the CHA could be organized.
Mary Anne Poutanen
Report on the Committee on the Future of the CCWH
The committee circulated a survey at the 2005 CHA, and then re-circulated it by e-mail this fall. In total, 36 people responded to the survey. Ontarians were vastly over-represented, perhaps because the CHA was held in Ontario this past year. 19 respondents (53%) were from ON, 5 respondents (14%) were from PQ, 4 respondents (11%) were from the Maritime Provinces, and 4 respondents (11%) were from the Prairie Provinces. 2 respondents (6%) were living abroad. All but 3 respondents were members of the CCWH, or had been members in the recent past. 16 (44%) had been members for less than 5 years, 9 (25%) had been members for 5-15 years, 4 (11%) had been members for 15-25 years and 4 (11%) had been members for more than 25 years. The majority of respondents (56%) were working as professors, while 36% were PhD students, and 8% were working as sessional instructors.
Purpose of the CCWH
Respondents were asked "Which of the following functions do you feel should be considered central to the mandate of the CCWH:
a) Provide Mentoring for New Scholars
b) Provide a social/professional network for people interested in similar areas of
c) Provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and resources regarding the study
of women's history
d) Provide a vehicle for feminist organization and action.
Respondents were allowed to check off more than one answer. 86% of people felt that B and C were central functions. 53% thought that A was central, and 50% thought that D was central. With respect to D, a number of respondents expressed concern about the decline of women's history at the high school level. Two felt that it was better to restrict our efforts within the world of academe.
Recruitment of New Members
Respondents suggested a number of different ways of recruiting new members including making more extensive use of the Web, as well as personal invitations. A number of respondents suggest that we make links with various ethnic studies groups to recruit new members. Others suggested additional events, especially ones outside of the Congress.
Services of the CCWH
By far the most popular services are the listserve, with 72% saying that they made use of it, and the newsletter with 75% of people making use of it. Somewhat less popular were the bibliography, with 53% of people saying that they made use of it, and the membership book, with 39% of people saying that they made use of it.
Two respondents suggested that Changing Women/Changing History needed to be updated, and that this was a really valuable resource. Quite a few people said that they would like the listserve to be used more extensively, particularly for announcing regional events. One person suggested that an on-line membership directory, perhaps members only, might be more useful.
Reception vs. Dinner at the CHA
Most people (64%) said that they preferred a reception over dinner. Only 17% said that they preferred dinner. Many people indicated that they could not attend. All of the people who said that they preferred dinner (6 people in total) had been members for more than 10 years. 81% of the people who had been members for less than 5 years said that they preferred the reception. The other 19% could not attend the reception this year. In short, it seems as if newer members find the reception easier than the sit-down dinner, while some longer-standing members enjoy the opportunity to sit down and eat with colleagues. Some people liked the idea of doing both.
Special Sessions
The special sessions at this year's CHA were hugely popular. Nearly everyone wanted to see more of them. Suggested topics included in rough order of popularity: the changing nature of women's history, women and colonialism/imperialism, women and First Nations history, teaching women's history, diversity of women and their experiences, women and racism, recent books in women's history, the importance of region, a panel on younger scholars and the future of the CCWH, women and religion, women and peace, women's history vs. gender history, women and addictions, technology.
Changing Our Name
The survey asked if the CCWH should maintain its women's history title or if the title incorporate gender. 24 people, (67%) wanted to keep women's history in the title. 4 people (11%) did not. Others were unsure or didn't answer. Seven people (19%) wanted to include gender in the title, while 17 (53%) did not want to see it included. Again, many others were unsure or didn't answer.
Many people felt torn about this issue, and several commented that it was a difficult question to answer. One respondent commented that "I am grappling with this. Women&gender? Language is important – but so are women-centered spaces." She added that providing a women-centered space was one of the key aspects of the CCWH. One person expressed the view that gender was a separate category, "if it were tied together then the women's angle might be pushed aside," while another said that "Because many of us research in areas that include analysis of gender ideology more broadly…the organization's title should be, I think, the Canadian Committee on Women's and Gender History…The inclusion of "gender" in the title would in no way diminish our commitment to women's history."
Annual Business Meetings
Those who commented on the annual meetings seemed to regard them as a necessary evil. One person said that they thought that the meetings created an insider/outsider atmosphere, with too many older historians sharing memories and anecdotes; another person added that they could be more professional while a third suggested that child care be provided.
The Most Useful Aspect of the CCWH
Overall, the survey showed that there was considerable enthusiasm for the CCWH and the services it provides. When people were asked which aspects were the most useful they responded: networking, mentoring, sense of community, and a forum for the exchange of ideas.
Costs of the Survey
A student at Guelph was hired at $15/hour to create a database, and type out all of the comments. It took her 10 hours, for a total of $150.

Graduate Student Report: The `Berks'
In June of 2005, we were fortunate enough to attend the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians at Scripps College in Claremont, California. The theme of the conference was 'Sin Fronteras: Women's Histories, Global Conversations' and – once everyone made it past US Customs – the over 1,400 participants from around the world forged a number of important connections. As graduate students working on Canadian topics, we were excited to see so many scholars moving beyond 'the nation,' a historiographical frontier that has kept too many of us from talking to each other for too long. We saw several non-Canadianists refer to Canada in their own work, and heard a number of papers showing that the Canadian past can only be understood in a global context. Another highlight of the conference was an international roundtable in which the Canadian historical profession was represented by Franca Iacovetta. The transnational conversations that took place in both formal and informal settings throughout the conference continue to affect our own thinking, teaching, and writing.
Intellectual connections aside, the Berks conference was a really fun and inspiring experience for those of us who are just beginning our academic careers. Meeting other graduate students from across Canada and around the world was an enriching experience, and we're already looking forward to seeing many of these new friends at the next Berks. Especially exciting to junior scholars like us was the chance to listen to and meet more senior historians whose writing we were already familiar with. We heard Alice Kessler-Harris speak about the first Berkshire conference in the early 1970s, and it was great watching scholars who had been there at the beginning greeting each other and catching up. Even more exciting was the conference dance ("from 9 pm til whenever!"), where the sizeable contingent of graduate students and professors from Canada spent most of the night dancing together. It would be great to have see more Canadians (graduate students especially) at the next Berks conference in Minneapolis in 2008.

Report from Ontario
At conferences, in new publications and films, during international women's week, and through awards, scholars of women and gender have continued to be busy this year. I am pleased to report that Catherine Carstairs, who was nominated by the CCWH for the International Federation for Research, has been elected to the board. Next year you will be hearing from Lisa Helps (email@example.com), our new Ontario representative. These reports are far more interesting to read (and to write) when many people contribute news about events in their area. Please share!
The Labouring Feminism Conference held at the Munk Centre for International Studies, University of Toronto, in September was a roaring success. The weekend united scholars from across the globe for lively and engaged discussions on exciting new research and developments in labour history. Together, these scholars well demonstrated that much important work is being done that can enlarge the parameters of working-class history. Topics included the cultural history of racialized, sexualized, diseased and disabled bodies; the history of sex tourism and transnational sex-trade workers; and the cross-border nature of labour feminist ideologies in the Americas. Many of the conference papers have been submitted to co-sponsoring journals. The meeting also inspired a new publication with New York University Press, which will draw on conference plenary sessions and papers in its exploration of culture and labor in North American history. Please see the most recent issue of Left History, for Franca Iacovetta's reflection on the conference and its feminist objectives.
Described as brilliant by Dionne Brand and enthralling by Natalie Zemon Davis, Afua Cooper's new book, The Hanging of Angelique: Canada, slavery, and the burning of Montreal, provides a window into a little explored topic in Canadian History, slavery. Catherine Carstairs' forthcoming book, Jailed for Possession: Illegal Drug use, Regulation, and Power in Canada,1920-1961, also promises to change the way we think about gender, race/ethnicity, and drug use in Canada. Reviewers describe
Jailed for Possession as "extremely well written", "timely", and "intriguing". Along with Katie Pickles, Myra Rutherdale of York University published their edited collection, Contact Zones: Aboriginal and Settler Women in Canada's Past (Vancouver, UBC Press, 2005), which includes essays by Rutherdale and historians from across the country. Ruth Sandwell from OISE published Contesting Rural Space Land Policy and Practices of Resettlement on Saltspring Island,1859-1891 (Montreal and Kingston, McGill Queen's Press, 2005)
International Women's Week generated all kinds of activity across the province in March. Nipissing University adopted the theme "Women, Religion and Spirituality" and hosted a series of events: a film about women in Islam; workshops devoted to the exploration of religious traditions and spiritual practices; and a keynote address by Dr Norma Baumel Joseph on the connections between food, gender, and religious authority. In Toronto, the Columbus Centre hosted an International Women's Day event, which focused on the exciting new film, Looking for Angelina. Karen Dubinsky and Franca Iacovetta, along with the movie's filmmakers discussed the complexities of translating historical research into art and domestic violence into film.
Finally, many congratulations to Joan Sangster who recently received a prestigious Killam Research Fellowship for her new project, Transforming Labour: Women and Paid Work in Post World War II Canada.
Katrina Srigley, Nippising University, Ontario representative
Report from Québec
The Quebec section of the CCWH organized three meetings at a downtown Montreal restaurant. Our informal meetings allow faculty members and graduate students to discuss selected themes. This year's themes were 1) consumption; 2) recent books by two members, Magda Fahrni and Susan Mann; and 3) the uses of, and connections between, the history of sensibilities and women's history.
The 2006 conference of the Institut d'histoire de l'Amérique française (IHAF) will meet in October at the Université du Québec à Montréal. This year's theme, "L'histoire au quotidien," is an important concern in women's history. The call for papers (and soon the conference programme) can be found at the following address: http://www.cam.org/~ihaf/ . Recent Publications :
Bettina Bradbury and Tamara Myers, eds. Negotiating Identities in Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Montreal (Vancouver: UBC Press, 2005). — With contributions by Denyse Baillargeon, Marie-Ève Harbec, Karine Hébert, Darcy Ingram, Suzanne Morton et Anna Shea, Mary Anne Poutanen, Jarrett Rudy, Sylvie Taschereau, and Brian Young.
Magda Fahrni, Household Politics: Montreal Families and Postwar Reconstruction (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2005).
Andrée Lévesque, ed. Madeleine Parent Activist, trans. by the author (Toronto: Sumach Press, 2005). First published as Madeleine Parent, militante.
Susan Mann, Margaret Macdonald: Imperial Daughter (Montreal: McGill-Queen's University Press, 2005). Susan Mann, Lionel Groulx et l'Action française. Le nationalisme canadien-français dans les années 1920, trans. Manon Leroux (Montréal: VLB, 2005). First published as Action française: French Canadian Nationalism in the 1920s (1975).
Finally, three prestigious prizes were awarded to Dominique Deslandres and Denyse Baillargeon. In June 2005, the CHA gave Dominique Deslandres the Sir John A. MacDonald Prize for her book Croire et faire croire. Les missions françaises au XVIIe siècle (1600-1650) (Paris: Fayard, 2003). On the same occasion, Denyse Baillargeon received the Clio Prize (Québec) for Un Québec en mal d'enfants. La médicalisation de la maternité,1910-1970 (Montréal, Remue-ménage, 2004). In October, that same book received the Prix Lionel-Groulx–Yves Saint-Germain, awarded by the Institut d'histoire de l'Amérique française for the best book on the history of French America.

Report from the Atlantic region
The second Symposium on Teaching Women's History at Atlantic Canadian Universities was hosted by the History and Classics Department at Acadia University, Wolfville, NS, on 17 September 2005 (special thanks to Gillian Poulter and Leigh Whaley for their hard work on this event!). Despite dire storm and wind warnings, faculty and graduate students representing most of the Atlantic area universities gathered at Acadia for a symposium on the theme of "Teaching Women's/Gender History: Problems, Methods and Sources." The meeting included a session of three papers on this theme (presented by Elaine Naylor (Mount Allison), Marie Hammond
Callaghan (Mount Allison), and Lisa Chilton (UPEI)), small group discussions, dinner, and a presentation of a series of short films useful for the teaching of women's history. Participants enjoyed the opportunity of sharing their expertise and debating problems and methods.
Margaret Conrad (UNB) is a co-investigator in a team that just received a $983,218 CURA grant from SSHRC (2006-2011) to explore aspects of Canadian history and identity. The funded study will probe how gender, income, culture, region, and language influence the way people engage the past, while several case studies (e.g., Aboriginal, Acadian, immigrant, Newfoundland, and Labrador) will offer a more in depth analysis of the impact of historical consciousness on notions of individual and group identity.
Several new hires in the region are of interest to historians of women and gender. Dalhousie University recently hired three specialists in the history of music, all of whom study women and gender in music: in the Music Department, Jacqueline Wright and Steven Baur; in the History Department, Jolanta Pekacz. Dalhousie's History Department has also recently hired Todd McCallum, who is now teaching a senior seminar course in history of sexuality. Wendy Churchill will be joining the History Department at the University of New Brunswick, and Sasha Mullally will take up a Hannah Post-Doctoral Fellowship at the Gorsebrook Institute at Saint Mary's University in July 2006.
Gillian Thompson has been awarded a "Distinguished Service Award" by the University of New Brunswick. The award "honours outstanding research, teaching and administrative contributions." Among other things, Gillian's service as Secretary to the Task Force on the Status of Women (1975-78), her work as Adviser to the President on Matters Pertaining to the Status of Women (1980s), and her position as one of four Founders of UNB's Women's Studies Programme (1985) is being recognised. Gillian retired from the Department of History at UNB in 2005, after 33 years of service at the university.
Lisa Chilton (UPEI), Atlantic Region Representative.

Two Police Officers are on adiminstrative leave after the pepper spraying of non-violent protestors on the UC Davis Quad Friday afternoon. A press conference was held yesterday to address the events and was announced early Sunday afternoon. Hundreds of protestors used SMS, twitter, and facebook to gather with only an hour's or so notice.
Yesterday, Chancellor Linda Katehi and UC Davis Police Chief Annette Spicuzza held a press conference to announce their response to Friday's events. At the press conference, Chancellor Katehi issued a statement before answering questions with Chief Spicuzza. Meanwhile, protestors gathered outside of the building after being denied entrance to the small room in which the press conference took place.
From inside the press conference, protestors could be heard banging on the building and chanting. 20 minutes into the press conference, protestors entered the building and the press conference ended early. After demanding that the conference move to the SciLec so that that students could participate, the protestors moved out of the building and surrounded Surge II, where the conference was held.

If a product chose not to promote itself through any popular media and restrain its ad-spend to zero, the only means it would have to connect with the buyer would be its packaging. This makes packaging a basic and impressive facet of brand creation besides other reasons. Take Maggi noodles for example. The primary aspect of the pack, which is yellow, has cleverly remained to stay the same all these years. Millions of consumers in India would vouch for having experienced nostalgia every time they lay eyes on that pack. This brand connect is one of the most basic and most powerful tools a marketer can hope to have while addressing gigantic markets and competing with numerous copy-cats. At the shop counter, packaging presents the final opportunity to convince a consumer to make his purchase decision.
Quality guarantee is one of the manifold ways where packaging comes into play. Tetra Pak, for example, is amongIndia's premier packaging companies that has campaigned its credo, 'Protects What's Good.' Its advertisements on television displayed all the brands available in Tetra Pak and assure consumers of the safety of consuming these.
Yet, packaging is more than a mode of distinction; it is in fact, the ability to jog the consumer's memory at the point of purchase. This is proven by the new range of Mirinda soft drinks packaged in outlandish but memorable styles, enabling it to create much more recall than its competitors. In the same beverage category, Appy Fizz brought Bollywood heartthrob Saif Ali Khan on board along with a distinctive positioning proposition
In order to appeal to children, even beyond metros, Kissan Jams created low-priced and attractive tube packs. Similarly, to convince audiences that coffee will not lose its aroma on multiple use, BRU Coffee came up with its aroma-lock packaging.to etch its unique place in the fizzy drinks hierarchy. In fact, the bottle which has been shaped to resemble a champagne bottle has earmarked it as a premium beverage.
In addition to consumables, packaging of beauty and hygiene products is another significant area. HUL's Lifebuoy has existed in the Indian market for more than 112 years. It has always been the brand associated to germicidal properties and had a masculine appeal. However, with the entrance of several me-toos that guaranteed the same advantages, Lifebuoy was forced to reposition itself through a change in product characteristics and packaging. In 2002, the soap took on an evolved avatar, and so did its new pink packaging. It did this to become a family product that offered hygiene as well as beauty.
Several personal care brands have re-launched their products in smaller packet sizes to make their products more affordable for rural target groups. HUL and Revlon are said to have fired up this trend. Revlon was the first to offer 8 ml packs of nail polishes and lipsticks.
These instances indicate that by making a simple change in packaging, the products mentioned above were able to create a direct improvement in brand appeal and sales. Evincing the importance of packaging in current market conditions, an Indian design service provider Desmania organised Packinnova 2011, a unique competition for innovative packaging ideas. It was held under the aegis of Procter & Gamble, where the company invited students from the country's design institutes to submit their concepts on packaging for tiny volumes. With so much significance accorded to packaging, especially by FMCG companies, much optimism is in store for rural consumers who will now choose products that suit their requirements better and more easily. Manufacturers need to gear up to match their requirements with innovative and attractive packaging time and again.

"Michael Jackson ONE," Cirque du Soleil's tribute to the late King of Pop that's currently in previews, will make its debut June 29 at Mandalay Bay.
The numbers alone tell an interesting story. To wit:
— 5,412 seat speakers, three for each of the 1,804 seats.
— 234 moving lights
— 28 strobe lights
— 587 lighting fixtures
— 295 custom-built LEDs in various set pieces
— 2,200 Swarovski crystals lighting performers' faces
— 26 video projectors that help fill the room with images and the music of Jackson (who, by the way, sings every song through the magic of audio and video).
— 63 performers from 17 countries including the U.S., Britain, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Israel, Kenya, Russia and South Korea.
— A 26-member creative team that includes 11 dance and acrobatic choreographers.
But does it have any soul? Based on a preview I saw, yes. It was easy to channel my inner Jackson.
"Many of the choreographers have worked with Michael in the past, starting with the director of the show, Jamie King, but also Travis Payne and the Talauega brothers, Rich and Tone," says Welby Altidor, the show's director of creation, who oversees the logistics of the creative process. "Much of the choreography includes Michael's iconic moves including the 'Moonwalk,' 'Lean In' from 'Smooth Criminal,' and 'Thriller.'"
Tickets cost $69 to $180 (excluding taxes and fees). Previews before June 28: $62.10 to $162. Performances are Saturdays-Wednesdays.
Info: "Michael Jackson ONE," (877) 632-7400.
[For the Record, 1:11 p.m. June 18: A previous version of this post incorrectly reported the opening day as June 28. It is June 29. Also, the last name of brothers Rich and Tone is Talauega, not Talega.]

Genetic liver diseases
Genetic mutations can lead to conditions that affect the liver. These are relatively rare diseases.
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is a protein that helps protect the lungs. It is produced in the liver at the direction of two copies of a protease inhibitor (SERPINA1) gene. If there is a change or mutation in one or both of the gene copies, then less AAT and/or dysfunctional AAT is produced. If AAT production is 30% of normal or less, then the affected person will experience alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and be at an increased risk of developing emphysema. If the AAT produced is dysfunctional, it tends to accumulate in the liver, forming abnormal protein chains and damaging the liver. About 10% of those affected with AAT deficiency will be jaundiced as a newborn. AAT deficiency is currently the most common genetic cause of liver disease in the pediatric population.

Celebrations after Somerset couple scoop £1.8million on Lottery
Updated 4:04pm Friday 4th October 2013 in News By Newsdesk
This live event has finished
- Couple from Stogursey won £1.8million share of Lottery jackpot
- Winners are meeting the media at a venue in North Petherton
- Roger and Kath Whitehouse from Somerset won £1million in January
THE couple celebrate their win.
THE couple celebrating in Somerset this afternoon.
DIONE and Richard Buss.
THE couple's total win was £1,888,630.
The pair, who have a daughter, bought their ticket in Cornwall but were back home in Stogursey, near Bridgwater, when Saturday's draw was made.
The couple told the media this afternoon that they almost threw away their winning ticket thinking that it was for a previous draw.
Dione said: "Richard had put the ticket out for the recycling and to remind me to buy the next one.
"Fortunately I double-checked it and realized we still had another draw to go.
"We actually found out we'd won on Sunday night but it was really late and we couldn't speak to anyone from Camelot until 9am on the Monday.
"I didn't sleep a wink that night – I watched the TV and did the ironing instead."
Following their win the couple plan to buy their dream home, climb the Great Wall of China and devote their time to fundraising for a number of charitable causes close to their hearts.
Dione, who has MS, hopes to help raise money for the Brahms Unit at Frenchay Hospital in Bristol, the Children's Heart Unit at the Bristol Royal Infirmary and for cancer charities who helped her father in his recent battle with prostate cancer.
She said: "We still haven't actually bought anything with our winnings yet but the main thing that our jackpot win will give us is quality time together and it will enable us to treat our nearest and dearest."
Their lucky numbers were 10, 12, 14, 25, 46 and 48.
The cost of playing the Lottery goes up to £2 from tomorrow's draw.
THE win for Mr and Mrs Buss follows that of Roger and Kathleen Whitehouse, from Minehead, who scooped £1,000,000 on the EuroMillions in January.
A COUPLE from Somerset are celebrating after scooping a £1.8million jackpot on the National Lottery.
Dione and Richard Buss, from Stogursey, landed the prize on Saturday while on holiday in St Ives, Cornwall.
Dione, 47, works for Bristol City Council while 48-year-old Richard is a self-employed property restorer.
The couple are meeting the media at a press conference in North Petherton this afternoon - stay tuned to this live article for photographs and video updates.

With less than 200 days to go before the 2012 London Olympics opens with a star-studded ceremony, many of the preparations for the athletes and the organising committees are now into the final stages. Over 205 different nations from across the globe will be represented by athletes at the Games, as well as a large flotilla of coaches, nutritionists and support teams taking part in the Games.
This year isn't just one of the biggest in the lives of the Athletes and Londoners – it is set to be a massive year for linguists and language service providers (ALS link) of all disciplines, as they communicate the greatest show on Earth to a watching audience.
It is predicted that 3.5 billion people are set to watch the games on television during the month of August, with an estimated 350,000 people visiting London to see events unfold at the Olympic park, on the London Docklands.
With the event providing such a high level of international interest, the demand for top quality linguists is huge. In Beijing in 2008, every official document, rulebook, and instruction was produced in over 55 languages . Not to mention the amount of interviews with athletes, coaches and VIPs that need to be interpreted for transmission to the watching global audience.
While all the eyes in the UK will be on the growing hopes of a talented Team GB, UK-based linguists could be the unsung heroes of the games.
Following the Beijing Olympics in 2008, the Chinese State honoured more than 1,700 linguists for their work and 'outstanding contributions' during the games. The following passage demonstrates what a fantastic opportunity it is for a Linguist to become established in the industry, gaining a valuable once-in-a-lifetime experience.
"A team of more than 1,700 translators and interpreters, including 400 professionals and 1,300 volunteers, provided simultaneous interpretation, consecutive interpretation and written translation for some 2,000 international conferences and press conferences in up to 44 languages during the games, said Zhao Huimin, an official with the committee.
"They helped more than 11,000 athletes and some 25,000 registered media workers from some 200 nations and regions, he said."
In addition, besides the events at Olympic Park, there is also the Festival of Britain with over 300 cultural events running alongside the main attractions, while British tourism experts are expecting a further influx of tourists to see the Queen's jubilee in before the Olympics in June 2012.
Although it may not feel like it on these gloomy mornings in January, for UK-based linguists there is much to look forward to in the summer of 2012.

ATLANTA -- The annual Taste of Atlanta took its 11th anniversary festival to downtown Atlanta on Saturday and Sunday, October 6, 7.
Over 90 Atlanta Metropolitan eateries set up in Tech Square to share local favorites with thousands of food lovers from Atlanta, and other areas. Each vendor provided smaller portions, just a couple bites as samples for everyone to try.
There were also local wines and craft beers, demonstrations from local celebrity chefs, and entertainment for families. While there was plenty to do over the weekend, the food was the star of the show.

Atlanta local Nan Fischer came to Taste of Atlanta with two friends to explore what food choices would be offered at the fest from various parts of the city.
"I wanted to see if there's anything new that I have missed around town, then I can sample it and see if I would like to go to that restaurant," Fischer said. "The restaurant owners can talk with us about their restaurant, Local Free was fun."
Many Atlanta area restaurants and food vendors have some secret ingredients that they share at Taste of Atlanta. Scott Dault moved to Atlanta from Florida in 1996. He brought his family-owned Sweetwater Growers company to the festival.
"We use a hydroponic farm, meaning that we use all water to grow herbs in greenhouses, so everything is environmentally controlled and pesticide free. That way, we can get fresh herbs around the southeast all year," Dault said.
A secret ingredient used by one local chef required some convincing for people at Taste of Atlanta to try. Host of The Sportsman Channel's "Dead Meet" Chef Scott Leysath presented his Rabbit Rattlesnake Sausage dish.
"People hear rattlesnake and they flinch," he said. "I promise everyone has had worse things in their sausage than rattlesnake."
The way Leysath sees it, people will remember the dish because of the rattlesnake he adds to it, although the dish also contains pork and jalapeno.
Other than trying some new foods, people enjoy learning of new restaurants that come out to Taste of Atlanta. Here, restaurant owners can spread word of new dining that Atlanta residents may have not yet discovered.
Buckhead Bottle Bar, according to Executive Chef Jason Ellis, has been known as a hot nightlife spot on weekends in the Buckhead community.
Ellis comes to Buckhead Bottle Bar with experience as a contestant on the seventh season of the "Hell's Kitchen" television show.
"When they brought me on, we added a dining element. We want people to know we have great food, like sea bass and lobster," Ellis said.
Along with dishes from restaurants like Buckhead Bottle Bar, people at Taste of Atlanta spent the afternoon trying food samples off all kinds with family and friends.
Atlanta native Mike Hesler appreciates the variety of food options he has within the city.
"Taste of Atlanta is the best way to see what Atlanta has to offer in one afternoon," he said. "The environment is casual and relaxed, and the day is a preview of what I'm going to eat for the next year."
Taste of Atlanta has dozens of volunteers on site to help the crowd. Dwight Hughes moved to Atlanta from New York 22 years ago, and has volunteered at the festival since it started.
"Besides the food, I enjoy providing people with a smile and information so they're happy all day."

Connecticut E85 Gas Stations
Currently, there are no public E85 gas stations in the State of Connecticut.
But in NY
there are a few that are not on the site...
But your gas MPG's will go down about 30-40% So no big deal...
06-01-2011, 02:45 PM #5yeah... there's no E85 here in CT...
not worth it anyway unless you're running forced induction, then you can get more performance from it...
but otherwise, you'll just be losing mileage...06MonteSS

6/28/2009: Access Denied. Why is India afraid of a US commission on religious freedom? - Outlook India |
http://outlookindia.com/full.asp?fodname=20090706&fname=Religious+Freedom+(F)&sid=1&pn=1 Felice Gaer is pretty accustomed to India's stonewalling tactics. From 2001, the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), of which Gaer is the chairperson, has been regularly applying for visas for its members to travel to India and report on the state of religious freedom of its minorities. On each occasion, New Delhi has turned down the request. Buoyed by optimistic declarations from State Department officials and promises of help from the US embassy in New Delhi, Gaer thought 2009 would be different. She even decided to postpone a report on India as she hoped to travel there with other commission members on June 12. Tags: |

When I wrote my first completed novel, I had a goal of 10 long-hand pages a day. When I wrote my second novel (my first NaNoWriMo), I had a goal of 1667 words a day. Continuing on through several other novels, I had daily word count goals, and most days I met or exceeded them. I participated in word-count challenges with fellow writers and I had fun.
But then I stopped making my word count goals. I tried again, on and off, but it didn't stick.
What happened? I've been thinking about this for years, trying to find the answer, and I think that I've finally found it–the fuel ran out.
Daily word counts are a tool–and whether a good or bad one depends on the writer. They are a measuring stick designed to get us to make progress. We like quantifying and numbers and charts. We see them all the time, and in something like writing a story, it's nice to be able to quantify it, isn't it?
It is, but at the same time, I think setting word count goals need to be combined with other motivations. In my past prolific novelist life, when I could write nearly as long as you'd let me, it gave me a stopping mark. A place to say, "Okay, I've done it. Time to fold the laundry." However, without the fuel of passion, word counts became a grind. During past NaNoWriMos, I'd heard people telling others that if they got stuck on their words to (literally) throw non-sequitor ninjas into the story or an explosion. And if that works, that's fabulous. But it also impressed on me that when you're doing that, you might just be writing for the numbers, not the story. In that case, I think it's more valuable to not worry about your word count and spend some time figuring out what happens next, or why you've hit the stumbling block you have.
Storytelling is an art, and art can be difficult to formulate into numbers because numbers are far easier to grasp and understand than your imagination. Word counts are made with good intentions–a goal post to make deadlines–a sign of progress–but they aren't the end all of storytelling.
So if you aren't writing to word count, what is the alternatives?
1) Writing until you feel done (or you run out of time).
2) Writing to the end of the scene.
3) Writing until the end of the chapter.
4) Writing until you reach the end of the event in the story (which may or may not fall under 2 or 3).
5) Timed writing.
Options 2-5 still have a feeling of "word count" goal writing, and while Option 1 is my preference, I recognize that it's vague. Yet I still think of the days when I set 1,000-word goals, and regularly got 2,000-3,000 words in a sitting–on those days, I simply wrote until I was done, and I was satisfied–and satisfied with what I got. Nothing felt forced or invented just to keep the words coming.
Not all parts of storytelling are activities we look forward to–revising seems to cause a common procrastination malady and needing to set goals to gain progress (which I also found hard–if I do 10 pages a day and those 10 pages are clean, does that mean I get the day off?). At the same time, many of us are telling stories simply because we want to tell stories. I want to believe that if we are truly excited enough about this story that's in our minds, we won't need number goals to get us through the story. Idealistic? Yes. I'm not saying that word count goals are, in themselves, terrible, but they can be a crutch to be aware of. In recent years, a hard goal of X words a day hasn't worked, and neither has something vague like "write when I want to."
Yet, I remember those days–those days when I had word counts, but they weren't the point. Telling the story was. I haven't found the path back there yet, but maybe when the right idea steals me away again….

Opel became yet another another manufacturer to begin preparing for the next era of mobility today when it was learned that the General Motors subsidiary will show the "RAD e", a 250 W pedelec with an electrically-supported range of between 60 and 145 kilometers.
Opel will present the "RAD e" design study at next month's Geneva International Auto Show and is clearly intended to become a future part of the range, with the company announcing that it will be the first e-bike to be built around automotive construction and production principles, plus that it carries much of Opel's typical design language such as the boomerang shaped features associated with the Ampera and the RAK e concept car.
