President Obama telling the American people there is one pledged that he will always keep.
Four years ago I served and I'm not a perfect man and I wouldn't be a perfect present and that's probably -- -- -- governor Romney things I've kept.
I also promised that -- fight every single day.
On behalf of the American people in the middle class and all those were striking -- the middle class I've kept that promise and if you -- forming.
Then I promise -- fight this is sort of a second term.
Now the Jen -- traveling Press Secretary Obama for America campaign good morning here and thank you for your time in Denver my -- I ask unedited as this -- -- long would give me four minutes.
The -- -- says that he was a clear winner on substance.
I you know I have to say -- Mitt Romney may have scored some style points during his theatrical well practice debate performance last night but.
At the end of the day he failed on the facts and I his credibility.
Really didn't pass -- bar I think the American people are looking for an.
As we shuffled through the debate transcript over the next few days and look at what he had to say I think what the American people are left with is his doubling down on that's rising Medicare.
His magic map using a magic calculator to pay for -- tax plan.
I he says he's going to -- up fight for education -- wants to cut the education budget by 20%.
And that just doesn't sit well with.
People who are making decisions across the country.
All right let me stop you there because you caught a theatrical magic map David Axelrod conceded today and MSNBC.
That for governor Romney this was -- were strong performance.
Do you concede the same.
I I conceded that after that after practicing more than any candidate in modern presidential history he delivered on his attack lines but I don't think you -- it was just -- Internet -- and see if it was just practiced that.
Brought a winner for governor Romney.
I think practicing and practicing obviously paid off for him but you know at the end of the day people are looking closely his policies -- double down.
On a number of the failed policies that have been.
A huge problem for that campaign and it's -- low Florida.
Unstoppable -- -- because whether it's practice or not you just concede to.
Romney won well at.

On CNN's say Romney won a snapple on CBS 46%.
Romney was a winner and there was another poll on CBS 56%.
People say that they like.
Mitt Romney now more than they did before what do you think about that.
Well I don't think that you can judge the long term impact of the debate by instant polls the night of the debate.
I think people are going to be looking closely at what Mitt Romney said last night what the president that last night.
The president made clear spoke directly to the people at home he's gonna fight for the middle class is going to.
The American people from -- Romney Ryan plans about tries Medicare is gonna make sure we don't overturn Wall Street reform.

The press didn't go into last night -- -- checklist of attack lines he was speaking directly to the people at home.
He went to speak to the American people like adults and lay out his economic policies.
Lay out his -- that wasn't my question did you want him to fight back harder last night than he did.
I think he thought -- pretty hard when Mitt Romney failed to give details on -- tax planning thought back pretty hard.
Against -- about tries Medicare and those are issues that people care about no one's looking for.
And attack dog in the White House they're looking for someone is going to be a steady leader.

-- about a health care law is obviously a polarizing issue in America now there is another law coming into play.
The one about unintended consequences.
Chief national correspondent Jim Angle tells us how it works in this Fox News exclusive.
A new survey a fortune 100 companies finds that the new health care law created some perverse incentives for employers to drop their insurance plans.
In a pure dollars and cents.
Standpoint it could not be more clear you save a lot of money hundreds of millions of dollars for some of these good company -- -- -- no longer providing coverage.
Republicans on the house Ways and Means Committee chaired by representative Dave Camp surveyed the fortune 100 companies about their health care cost 71 comedies with five point nine million employees responded.
Even after paying a penalty of 2000 dollars per employee that companies stand to save 28 point six billion dollars and 2014 alone by shifting employees to government exchanges and would say more than 422.
Billion over the first ten years -- all the.
-- penalties for the employers to drop coverage or very low.
And the subsidies for the workers in the exchanges are very high.
Some analysts though are you large companies would be reluctant to drop coverage.
I think competition for labor is still intense.
And to recruit and retain that talented workforce you've got to provide generous benefits the new exchanges Rudolph for several choices of plans and workers would get generous federal subsidies which only phase -- about 88000.
Dollars in income.
So the exchanges could be attractive to both employers and workers.
If -- large employers work with their low wage workers they can move many millions of them out of their plans.
And into the exchanges and both sides will win.
Though there's a debate over how many large companies might drop insurance there is little doubt about smaller companies small employers might very well say.
This is administratively.
Easier for us.
And our employees can get a very good deal on the state exchanges and give one company in an industry makes the change others may have to follow.
I think you'll see.
A lot of employers don't wanna be the first but they have slowly don't wanna be the last.
Can Florida drop coverage for one restaurant drops offering coverage they're competitors in the local community are likely to follow -- that could be a snowball effect.
Of course no one knows how many companies may drop insurance but they could pay the fine -- several thousand dollars per worker and offered this year part -- -- -- higher wages making it attractive to the workers as well.
The higher cost of subsidies though.
Would fall on taxpayers.
And -- some news today on that EPA official who had some controversial remarks to co workers that's right Al -- -- who compared EPA enforcement philosophy too early Romans crucified a few people to make an example of them resigned today saying his continued service would distract from the agency's work.
And senator James -- off of Oklahoma who brought the remarks -- said the resignation does nothing to solve the problem.
And noted that he quote was just being honest his choice of words reveal the truth about the war the EPA has been waging all American energy producers.
Another critic says -- and -- is trying to say the administration from the political fallout but that there's no indication the regulatory crucifixion is will stop.

Ok, might as well come out and say it:
I'm developing a song for the RBN that 4chan should be all over by the time this is posted. I feel as though I need some incentive and pressure to release this, so I've decided to formally announce it:
I contacted an Australian Artist named Morbicae back last year when the service was announced, and I've negotiated to release his song, Shoop Da Whoop (I'ma Firin Mah Lazor) on RBN for download.
I was inspired by a forum post about this song being made into a free song for release, and by the time that RBN was announced, I knew that this would be a perfect fit. He then re-recorded his song specifically for production in the RBN, and I began my work.
Now, I hope to release it by summer if given enough time between my college classes to chart it. I also need to get a full XNA premium membership, as I only have a student trial obtained from DreamSpark (it should be no problem; I'm planning on buying a 6-month package by April). What I need from the community is your support to invest my time to release this. I want to raise awareness so that Morbicae can see that this investment will pay off. I hope to charge 80 msp with all proceeds going to him.
So, I am aware that I've opened a can of worms in releasing this info, but I know that this will pump up support for the RBN in the Meme community.

SEE PASSION PLAY ATTEND FORUM TONIGHT The Loyola Maroon NO. 17 Vol. XXXII, X-259 Loyola University, New Orleans, La., March 25, 1955 Experiment In Liquefaction Of Helium Sets University, New Orleans Precedent Physics Department Furthers Research The University's physics department completed Saturday what is believed to be the first liquefaction of helium in New Orleans, according to the Rev. Francis A. Benedetto, S.J., chairman of the department. He explained that helium gas is being liquefied for use in a series of experiments studying the electrical properties of semi-conducting materials as possible replacements for vacuum tubes in many radio and electronic applications. I — Dr. Paul B. Pickar, research physicist and associate professor of physics at Loyola, is conducting this particular phase of the research program. He stated that liquid helium is used as a means of reaching temperatures near absolute zero since electrical measurements taken at this temperature give one a good correlation between the mechanism of what happens in nature and that which is predicted theoretically. Father Benedetto continued that "Since helium liquefies at minus 452 degrees F, or four degrees Kelvin, it is the best agent available for cooling to extremes. Water freezes at 32 degrees above ordinary zero, so it is evident how cold liquid helium is," the Jesuit added. "It is so cold that it will freeze air into blocks similar to ice." The physics professor credited the Cottrell Foundation of the Research Corporation in Chicago, and Rice Institute in Houston, with making it possible for Loyola to have obtained the helium liquefying apparatus. This grant of $3,810 from the Research Corporation is the second large grant received by the physics department in recent years. A similar grant of $4,500 from the Research Corporation enabled the department to construct their large electromagnet just over a year ago. This present grant was used to procure the large compressor required for this liquefier. The liquefier itself was made available to Loyola for a nominal fee through the generosity of Prof. Charles F. Squire of the Low Temperature Laboratory of Rice Institute. Prof. Squire sent his assistant, C. W. Belcher from Rice Institute to assist Prof. Pickar and Father Benedetto in setting up the equipment for its first run at Loyola. "Without the aid extended by the Research Corporation and by Rice Institute it would have cost I $25,000 to procure a comparable j liquefier commercially" the department head remarked. Fr. Benedetto outlined the process by which the machine produces the liquefied helium as follows: Prior to actual use of the machine, the machine is precooled to minus 321 degrees Fahrenheit by use of liquid nitrogen. The helium gas is then introduced in the liquefier, and by a six to eight hour series of compressions and expansions the temperature is lowered THE PHYSICS DEPARTMENT just completed an experiment, which is part of an over-all program. Here C. W. BELCHER, left, laboratory technician at Rice Institute, and the REV. FRANCIS A. BENEDETTO, S.J. chairman of the department of physics, watch helium gas being developed into liquid helium in an experiment with the electrical properties of semi-conducting materials. 'Man On Right' Slated For Holy Week Run Thespians, dramatic society, has scheduled an original passion play, "The Man on the Right," for the Monday through Friday of Holy Week, with performances at 8 :30 p.m. Written by Melvin Graziano, recent graduate in the college of business administration, the play revolves around the man crucified on Calvary at the right of Christ. During the last three seasons, the dramatic society has upneia me icemen liuuiliuii vi presenting a passion play during Holy Week. "Pilate," an original play by Leo C. Zinser, director of the group, was produced during these seasons. Cast in leading roles for the forthcoming production are Ted Pfister, A&S senior, as Dismas, the good thief; and Joan Gaulene, A&S sophomore, as Ruth, his betrothed. Others in the play include: Reginald Hendry, Esron; Myra Monahan, Rebecca; Graziano, Judas; George Piazza and Bill Lauree, Jewish priests; Bert Braud, Marcus; James Arceneaux, Titus; Ronald Fonseca, Cyrus; Wayne McWhorter, Peter; Allen Kibler, doubling in the roles of guard and criminal; and Maurice Clark, priest. "The play is unique in that it employs a surprise ending, uncommon to passion plays," Zinser said. In particular, "The Man on the Right" deals with the mental and emotional anguish of Dismas who is presented with the decision of choosing between a life of sin or death with Christ. Dismas is caught during one of his nightly forays and taken before the Roman tribunal at the same time that Christ is also to be judged and condemned. Dismas witnesses the scourging and crowning of Christ. It is then that he comes to the realization that he cannot bring himself to live in a world of such gross injustice. Staging and lighting will be handled by Ken Offan, Lee Freeland, and George Rhode. "Simplicity is the keynote of the setting. Dramatic effect is achieved primarily by lighting," Zinser affirmed. Mrs. Lillinette Hiller is in charge of costuming and make-up. There will be no advance sale of tickets. They may be purchased at the door. Admission is $1 for adults and 50 cents for students. A special matinee for the clergy and religious of the city will be presented Holy Thursday afternoon. All performances are scheduled for Marquette Auditorium. REHEARSING LINES for the forthcoming Thespian Passion Play, "The Man on the Right," are, from left, RONALD FONSECA, JOAN GAULENE, and WAYNE McWHORTER; inset, TED PFISTER. The production is scheduled for the Monday through Friday of Holy Week. Mid-Semesters Next Week Mid - semester examinations will be held next week on the campus. All regular classes will be cancelled. Students are requested to check their examination schedules on the bulletin boards of the registrar's office. In case of conflicts, they should report to the office of the dean no later than today. ROTC Rifle Contest Set For April 4 The Loyola ROTC unit will sponsor its annual small bore competition beginning April 4 and lasting through April 29, Lt. Col. Luther R. Barth, PMS&T, announced. He explained that only cadets in the University's unit are eligible to compete in the men's divir sion. The girls' division, however, is open to all coeds enrolled in the University. Medals will be presented to the first, second, and third place individuals in both divisions. The girls will fire 20 rounds in a prone position, 10 rounds at each of two official targets. In case of a tie, a shoulder-toshoulder shoot off between the persons deadlocked will decide the winner. In the men's division, the competition rules call for a total of 40 rounds, 10 each at prone, sitting, kneeling and standing. The highest score registered in the standing position will decide the winner in case of a tie. National Rifle Association rules will cover any case not covered by the above stipulated rules. Bishop Sheen To Speak Tonight Bstar of the television show, "Life Is Worth Livshop Fulton J. Sheen, will appear in the fourth ies of Loyola Forums for the 1954-55 year tonight p.m. at Municipal Auditorium, will mark his eleventh appearance on the Forum. is a rare occasion for Bishop Sheen to appear bei public," the Rev. John A. Toomey, S.J., Forum , said. "He has become so much in demand as a I public speaker that he has had to I turn down many offers. We are ! very fortunate to have him," he Besides hi* regular weekly television program on Tuesday nights, Bishop Sheen supervises the work of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith's 129 diocesan directors, edits two magazines, writes two nationally syndicated columns, and is constantly working on a new book. He also has religious instructions, lectures, and manages to keep in touch with many of the 100,000 missionaries of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. Zealous in his desire to win souls for Christ, the orator has dedicated his life to man's search for peace of soul. He is recognized as one of the great preachers of the twentieth century by peoples of all faiths and nationalities.It was always his ambition to become a priest. In his earlier life, Bishop Sheen studied at the University of Louvain in Belgium. While there, he merited the Cardinal Mercier award, which is given only every 10 years, for his philosophical treatise. Following his work there, he taught in a seminary in London until both Oxford and Columbia wanted him to teach philosophy, but only nine months later he was sent to Catholic University at Washington. In 1934 he was named a Papal Chamberlain of Pius XI, receiving the title of Very Reverend Monsignor. The very next year, he became a Domestic Prelate, with the title of Right Reverend Monsignor.•-♦ Judge To Speak •Judge Leo Blessing, Juvenile Court judge and member of the Evening Division faculty, will speak on "The Juvenile and the Community" to the Catholic Committee of the South. The meeting will be held Thursday, April 14, at 8 p.m. in Marquette Auditorium. NFCCS Plans Liturgy Sunday A Liturgy Sunday, sponsored by the Liturgy Commission of the Southeastern region of the National Federation of Catholic College Students, will be held Sunday at Sacred Heart College in Grand Coteau, La. Peter Duffy, campus affiliate of the Liturgy commission, said the public is invited to attend the program which will begin with registration at 11 a.m. Following registration there will be recitation of Prime of the Divine Office, dinner, a panel discussion on "The Use of English in the Liturgy," an illustration of the "new English ritual" in the baptism of an infant, a seminar on "Liturgy in Daily Life," a liturgical procession to the chapel, and a Mass at the closing. The Sunday is being promoted by Sacred Heart College with the co-operation of Xavier and Loyola Universities and Dominican College.Philosophy Club Plans Readings The Philosophy Club will devote the rest of its meetings during the year to reading and discussing several articles from outstanding philosophical journals, the Rev. Henry Montecino, S.J., moderator, said. The first article to be discussed will be "Causality in the Classroom," by the Rev. Francis C. Wade, S.J., which appeared in the January 1951 issue of The Modern Schoolman. The main question of this article is: "What precisely does any teacher do whenever he is exercising his art of teaching?" Fr. Wade shows the difference between teaching and indoctrination. The discussion of this article will begin at the April 6 meeting and will continue until the matter is covered. The second article for discussion will be "Act and Potency" by William A. Van Roo, S.J. "This article treats one of the most important and fundamental principles of scholastic metaphysics," Father Montecino added.

Dedicated by the Jacobs and Chill Families in Memory of Harold and Pearl JacobsDora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
Abdominal Fat
Rabbi Dr. Asher Meir
(It is worth noting that among the unkosher species there are also gradations. In particular the donkey has a higher level than other animals, as expressed in the requirement to redeem it, as we explained in a previous column (See SA YD 321). Another animal sometimes mentioned in Chasidic writings as having a somewhat higher nature than other forbidden species is the camel, which together with donkeys and kosher species formed part of Yaakov's gift to Esav in Bereshit 32. Both camels and donkeys extensively served the Patriarchs.)
Another prominent representative of the Breslav tradition, Rav Nachman Goldstein of Tcherin known as the Tcheriner Rav, gives a parallel explanation of the prohibition of abdominal fat, which applies to domesticated animals but not to wild ones or birds. (SA YD 64:1.)
We have often explained that the blood of animals embodies their lower, purely bestial nature. The Tcheriner Rav helps us refine this insight a little more: the blood represents one aspect of bestiality, namely cruelty, whereas the abdominal fat represents another aspect: stupidity and torpor.
Scripture often uses fat to signify these qualities, as in the verse: "And Yeshurun fattened and rebelled; you have become fat and thick and covered over; he has abandoned G-d his creator, and disgraced the Rock of his salvation" (Devarim 32:15).
This quality is particularly salient in the domesticated beasts, which as we pointed out are comparatively dumb and lacking in vitality and resourcefulness. We may also add that these animals are often intentionally fattened for slaughter. But the wild animals, called in Hebrew "chaya" meaning "lively", don't embody this kind of stupor and idleness. Thus their abdominal fat is permissible.
Rav Goldstein adds an additional reason wild animals and birds are less representative of our lower nature than domesticated ones: we can obtain them only with difficulty, by trapping them. Thus they embody vitality not only in their own resourceful existence but also in the fact that human effort and ingenuity are required in order to obtain them.

NORMAN, Okla. -- Over the past year, Roy Finch has seen his chances to make an impact for No. 10 Oklahoma shrink to almost none.
The first chance he got to touch the ball on Saturday night, he made history.
Finch returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown, completing the first tandem in Sooners history to score on a punt and a kickoff in the same game during a 52-7 rout of Kansas.

"I'm not really in the rotation on offense a lot, but we have a lot of playmakers that can make plays and I feel like I'm one of those playmakers on the team," Finch said. "I just try to make the best of the opportunities I have.
"I was just so happy to take it back."
In the process, he won one lucky fan $20,000 and extended Oklahoma's lead to 45-0 just 13 seconds after halftime.
Justin Brown, a transfer from Penn State, provided the first half of the unique double dip by returning a punt 90 yards and diving at the pylon for the score on his first chance after fumbling away a previous punt.
The Brown-Finch combo marked the first time the Sooners (5-1, 3-1 Big 12) have had two plays at least 90 yards long in the same game.
"I want our OU team known as a very explosive team," Finch said. "Him taking back a punt return and me taking back a kickoff return just really shows that we have explosive players and we can play with the best of them."
After coasting through an easy one against the last-place Jayhawks (1-6, 0-4), the Sooners get their chance at another big test when No. 5 Notre Dame visits Owen Field next Saturday night.
There wasn't anything close to a letdown in between that showdown and last week's 63-21 Red River Rivalry romp over Texas.
Landry Jones threw for 291 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions as Oklahoma improved to 14-0 under coach Bob Stoops in games immediately after the Longhorns matchup.
"It wasn't hard to stay focused on Kansas. We know that Notre Dame's a great team but we're a great team also," Finch said. "So, we just wanted to close out Kansas and we know that the game ahead of us next Saturday is going to be a crazy game."
James Sims ran for 102 yards and a shutout-preventing touchdown run in the fourth quarter for Kansas, which lost its 16th straight conference game and 27th out of the last 28.
"It hurts because this is the first time this year that a game got away from us in the first half," said first-year coach Charlie Weis, who had found a way to keep his Jayhawks at least within 10 at halftime in the first six games this season.
"We haven't had a game get away from us like that one was."
At halftime of this one, Weis' challenge was entirely different: Encouraging his team to compete and avoid making "this one of the worst losses ever."
"It's 38-0 at halftime," Weis said. "What good could you say? What positive can you say when the score's 38-0, other than the fact, `Is this going to be 76-0?"'
The Jayhawks never could crack Oklahoma's first-team defense, which hasn't given up a point in two straight weeks.
For their part, Jones and the first-team offense scored on their first six possessions - settling for Michael Hunnicutt's 37-yard field goal on their first drive and then scoring touchdowns on the next five.
The streak was finally broken up in the third quarter, after Jones was called for intentional grounding to set up a second-and-26 hole that proved too much to overcome. That ended up being the final series for the starters, who left with a 52-0 lead after just 46 offensive snaps.
"Just the way we prepared this week for this game, knowing that people were overlooking it and looking to next week, just showed a lot of character for us," said Kenny Stills, who caught a 44-yard TD pass from Jones.
"I feel like we're really excited for that."
Kansas went with Michael Cummings as its starting quarterback, after he'd been at the helm as the Jayhawks rallied for 14 straight points and had the ball with a chance to go ahead in the fourth quarter of a 20-14 loss to Oklahoma State last week.
He and Dayne Crist, who'd been the starter the rest of the season, were equally ineffective.
Cummings went 10 for 21 for 111 yards with two interceptions. Crist was 3 of 6 for 13 yards and fumbled away an early opportunity for the Jayhawks to keep it interesting.
After Josh Ford scooped up Brown's fumble at the 11-yard line, Crist was off-target on a first-down swing pass to Tre' Parmalee, forcing him to fall down with no one around him in the flat. Then Cummings threw incomplete into the end zone before Tom Wort sacked Crist and knocked the ball free, with defensive tackle Casey Walker rumbling 45 yards on the return.
Instead of interrupting the Sooners' momentum, Oklahoma kept steamrolling toward the showdown with the Fighting Irish.
"We're excited for next week," Stills said. "We just hope to continue to keep things rolling, playing all together, firing on all cylinders and hopefully we'll have a great outcome next week."

A Postmodern Simulacrum
Rather than a mere expression of nostalgia, postmodernism may be seen as an attempt to recover the morphological continuity of specific culture. The use of past styles in this case is motivated not by a simple escapism, but by a desire to understand our culture and ourselves as products of previous codings.
James Collins, "Postmodernism and Cultural Practice"
Aside from its citation of Imitation, there are other reasons why Almodovar's film constitutes a postmodern remake. Its intertextual vision is highly parodic—filled with (which Hutcheon has termed) "self-conscious, self-contradictory, self-undermining statement" (1). In the Sirk film, melodramatic moments often border on comedy (as when the telephone rings for Lora with a job offer each time she is about to kiss her lover, Steve [John Gavin]). This nascent farce (just below the histrionic facade) was apparent to Rainer Werner Fassbinder—whose films were also modeled on Sirk's. Here is an excerpt from Fassbinder's tongue-in-cheek summary of Imitation (which he calls a "great, crazy movie about life and death . . . [a]nd . . . America"): "[The characters] are always making plans for happiness, for tenderness, and then the phone rings, a new part and Lana revives. The woman is a hopeless case. So is John Gavin. He should have caught on pretty soon that it won't work" (Fischer, 1991A, 244–45).
In High Heels the ironic and melodramatic modes are nearly indistinguishable. When Becky and Rebecca are first reunited, they embrace. At that heightened instant, Rebecca's earring becomes caught in Becky's hair. When Judge Dominguez asks Becky whether she has killed Manuel, she replies, "You don't do that before an [theatrical] opening." Later, as Becky is taken away in an ambulance, she tells her homicidal daughter, "Find another way to solve your problems with men."
Beyond its conjuration of Imitation, the film's cinematic references are quite extensive. With Almodovar's focus on maternal melodrama, there are intimations of Mildred Pierce (1945). That film also depicts an incestuous triangle in which a daughter kills her mother's lover. Like Becky, Mildred attempts to assume responsibility for her offspring's crime. (Interestingly, Roger Ebert sees the performance of Marisa Paredes in High Heels as "inspired . . . [or inhabited by] Joan Crawford" [44]). While Mildred Pierce is never mentioned in almodovar's film, Ingmar Bergman's Autumn Sonata (1978) is. That film (which concerns a woman's struggle with her renowned pianist-mother) is cited by Rebecca to explain how she is plagued by Becky's fame. Other quotations issue from Dominguez's pose as a female. As he sings in a nightclub, members of the audience duplicate his every gesture (like spectators of The Rocky Horror Picture Show [1975]). When Dominguez confesses his love to Rebecca and she rebuffs him for cross-dressing, he replies, "Nobody's perfect." That line replicates one spoken by Osgood (Joe E. Brown) in Some Like it Hot (1959) when he learns that the woman he adores is a man.
While High Heels circulates in elitist film markets, its citations often derive from mass culture—a fact that distinguishes postmodernist from modernist works. As Almodovar, himself, has stated: "I think you can look at genre . . . without making those 'exquisite' divisions of art cin-
ema [and] popular cinema" (Morgan, 28). That his quotations are often from American movies, testifies to the hegemony of Hollywood film in the world economy, as well as to America's more "egalitarian" vision of the arts.[3]
Aside from deconstructing the binaries of high and low culture, the postmodern work has been said to relax the boundaries between fact and fiction. Hutcheon sees the form as enacting a process of hybridization "where the borders are kept clear, even if they are frequently crossed" (37). High Heels slyly suggests the "real" in its invocation of a controversy that surrounded the making of Imitation: the fatal stabbing of Lana Turner's lover by her daughter, Cheryl Crane, in April of 1958 (Fischer, 1991A, 216–18). In High Heels, this fact reenters (with a vengeance) in Rebecca's twin murders: her childhood killing of her stepfather (by switching his medications) and her later shooting of Manuel.[4] While this subtext can be excavated from Imitation, it is on the surface in High Heels, which makes crime the central axis of the drama (Fischer, 1991A, 21–8). Thus, High Heels par-
takes in a dual homage: to the fictional narrative of Sirk's film and to the documented tragedy of Turner and Crane. As though to suggest the infamous 1958 tabloid expose, Almodovar makes Rebecca a newscaster who confesses her offense during a broadcast. He also has Becky write her memoirs, a fact that alludes to the autobiographies penned by Turner and Crane. If Marisa Paredes reminds us of Joan Crawford, thoughts of Mommie Dearest (1981) cannot be far behind.
While High Heels accesses the "real" of a Hollywood scandal, it relinquishes the theme of race so prominent in Imitation, figuring it only in a flashback of the "natives" who populate the island of Rebecca's childhood vacation. If "passing" is at issue in the film, it is devoid of racial overtones and attends to Judge Dominguez and his feminine disguise.[5]
As High Heels intermingles fact and fiction, so it crosses genres—much as Judge Dominguez crosses dress. (Almodovar himself states that he does not "respect the boundaries of . . . genre" but "mix[es] it with other things" [Kinder, 1987, 38]). Hence, High Heels is a "hybrid" of the melodramatic, satirical, and film noir modes. The film's myriad references to cinema, publishing, and television tap into another postmodern theme: the overwhelming presence of media within contemporary culture—producing a vision of existence as the transmission of synthetic images. For Jean Baudrillard, we live in an age in which "production and consumption" have given way to "networks" through which we experience an "ecstasy of communication" (1983, 127). Significantly, the life dramas in Almodovar's film are enacted on TV. Manuel is a network executive. Not only does Rebecca break down during a televised program but her mother and Judge Dominguez learn of her wrongdoing by watching the show. Likewise, it is by viewing TV that Rebecca discerns her mother is ill. Finally, a narrative twist arises when Rebecca claims the wrong set of prints from a photographic lab—as though to symbolize the rampant confusion of images in the world. Clearly, the issue of artificiality is already apparent in Imitation, whose title and theatrical setting unavoidably elicit the theme (Affron, Stern).
Other aspects of High Heels reveal a postmodern bent. At times, the drama suffers "lapses" at odds with its overall continuity. (David Kehr, for example, complains of the film's "strange displacements.") When Rebecca is jailed and sent to the prison courtyard, several inmates enact a bizarre, choreographed "production number" reminiscent of those in a Hollywood musical. On another occasion, when Rebecca reads the television news, she laughs as she reports the weekend traffic fatalities (as though to reference Jean-Luc Godard's Weekend [1968]). In both cases, the diegesis is ruptured through homage. At other times, the slippage is produced by an excess of emotion rather than by an ironic gap. As Becky sings in a theater (distraught over Rebecca's incarceration), she kisses the stage floor, whereupon a tear drop falls and lands on her bright red lip print. It is an unlikely
moment that functions as a pure icon of sentimentality (like a bird on a branch in a D. W. Griffith film).

The town of Oak Bluffs closed two Lagoon Pond beaches Wednesday morning to swimming. Samples of saltwater taken on Monday tested positive for high counts of a bacteria known as enterococci, a bacteria that can indicate the presence of fecal contamination.
The town closed Medeiros Cove off the Sailing Camp Park and the drawbridge beach at Eastville. A harborside Eastville beach remains open.
A dozen volunteers gathered at the Lagoon Pond last Saturday morning to do something no one could recall being done on the Vineyard. They came to harvest floating mats of algae in Mud Creek in Vineyard Haven. It was both an experiment and a beginning for an expanding effort to manage and improve the water quality in coastal ponds.
A plan for a large oyster farm in Lagoon Pond spurred debate in Oak Bluffs this week, with town officials weighing concerns about the location and effects of the proposed farm with the potential benefits of aquaculture. Brothers Dan and Greg Martino applied for an aquaculture license to start a four-acre oyster farm at the southern end of Lagoon Pond.
A pair of quahauggers stood waist-deep in Sengekontacket Pond early Thursday morning, the late August sun glinting off the calm water as they raked hardshell clams, perhaps a basketful for their dinner. The pond has been open to summer shellfishing this year for the first time since 2007.
Lagoon Woes Seen Years Ago
1987 Report on Water Quality Found Problems 'Particularly During the Summer Months'; Recommended Dredging
A comprehensive study documented water quality problems in the Lagoon Pond 16 years ago, but the recommendations from the study - including a dredging program - were never carried out because of a lack of funding.
The final Massachusetts Estuaries Project report on the health of Lagoon Pond was unveiled this week in Oak Bluffs, and the blunt diagnosis was summed up in two words: "significantly impaired."
Dr. Brian Howes, technical director for the project, a joint venture of the state Department of Environmental Protection and the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, said that almost all of the 89 estuaries in southeastern Massachusetts are impaired. Lagoon Pond is no exception.
Cochlodinium, the rust-colored algae bloom that has turned up in Cape Pogue and Sengekontacket Ponds, has now invaded Lagoon Pond, Martha's Vineyard Shellfish Group director Rick Karney confirmed this week. The algae was found in the west arm of the Lagoon.

A printing job requires a 72x72" image. I shoot with a D700. Is there any way to get a quality print at that size from a D700?
It depends on a few factors - primarily the print technology that is going to be used, and secondly what the print is to be used for. The D700 shoots at 4256 × 2832 (12.1 MP), so the largest Square frame you can print at 1:1 pixel ratio would be 2832 x 2832 pixels. Lets say the print is to be at 600 DPI, which is a fairly standard high quality signage dpi, that would equate to only a 4.72 inch square print. at 300DPI a 9.44 inch print. so the immediately the answer "No" comes to mind... However... If you were to print a 2832 pixel width image at 72", each pixel would be printed at 0.645mm width, which is perfectly good for viewing at anything over a couple of meters away. I would suggest that the image is up-scaled 2x or 3x before printing - this will not increase quality but will smooth out the pixels (by making them smaller at print time) | |||||||||||||||||||||

Our outbound flight from Gatwick was a little delayed owing to the plane being parked in the wrong place or something.
We enjoyed the flight due to a large part to the immensely entertaining camp double act of two of the cabin crew:" Ooooh if he had a brain he'd be dangerous!".And "we're going on to Barbados.I'm going straight to the bar and won't be fit to take anyone home tonight."
Then our one hour stop on Grenada turned into two and a half hours because someone who was destined for Tobago decided to get off at Grenada instead and disappeared leaving their luggage on the plane which then had to be offloaded. If there had been a bomb it had had plenty of time to go off!
However, the pilot put his welly down and made up much of the lost time.
The inward flight left on time and landed 45 minutes EARLY. Hooray!
There was a problem with the sound on the entertainment in our row, so we we were given one of those portable systems.
My tray kept getting stuck down and they ran out of the vegetarian meals. Hard luck on the vegetarians!
The food was edible and the hot meal was hot, even if the amount was tiny, but what else would you expect from a budget airline?
All in all we wouldn't be concerned about flying with them again.

"Inside Llewyn Davis" Star Sings Gorgeous Acoustic Version Of "Roar" With Jimmy Fallon
Cue the jam sesh.
James Thomas "Jimmy" Fallon, born September 19, 1974, is an American television host, comedian, actor, singer, musician and producer. He currently hosts Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, a late-night talk show that airs on NBC. Prior to that, he appeared in several films, and was best known as a cast...
more on Wikipedia ›Cue the jam sesh.
They even found a way to incorporate Miley's crying kitten.
The "Live Every Week Like It's Shark Week" master also has some thoughts on Turkey Day.
It was about Miley Cyrus, naturally.
This clip is a little tough to watch.
Who knew they were stars on a sitcom way back in the day?
It's an "Alan Rickman-off," and the subject matter is old-school rap songs. Oh yes.
Because we've always wanted to hear Snape read hip-hop lyrics.
Ylvis performed their viral hit "The Fox" on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and it was peeer-per-per-per-per-per-per-perperperfect.
Ah, the old bump-into-each-other-and-switch-voices trick. It'll get you every time.
Courtesy of Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake.
#They #Are #Making #Fun #Of #You. But it's funny anyway!
Of course she is.
A jam-packed opener filled with interruptions and Kevin Spacey's menacing grin. Where was the dancing?!
Because that's just the kind of thing guys did at summer camp in the '90s.
The actor — and new Batman — stopped by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to talk about his once-ugly kids and his toughness when it comes to the Batman critics (aka the internet).
Two beloved people play the beloved party game.
These guys can do no wrong together. But where is the Victor Cruz Salsa? C'mon!
Just in time for football season.
Rap music has never sounded so glorious.

Your right to toss objects from balconies with reckless abandon has been upheld.
A jury in Galveston has acquitted a man accused of hitting a woman — Ingrid Gonzalez – with a cantaloupe-size bag of Mardi Gras beads dropped from a second-story balcony.
The alleged tosser, Larry Dean Wiseman of Houston, was acquitted of assault causing bodily injury. Apparently, lawyers couldn't agree on whether or not Mr. Wiseman was actually the correct defendant. His lawyer maintains he never threw the beads, while counsel for the victim disagrees. Who cares???!! They was an argument that "allegedly involving a threat and use of profanity." Under those circumstances, one can understand their confusion. It's hard to both swear AND toss beads at the same time. Takes some skill.
One thing we can all agree on: Ms. Gonzalez was looking for a melon-sized bag of cash.
Her treasure hunt will have to wait.

Olly Murs plots appearance on dating TV show Take Me OutOlly Murs has joked that he is interested in appearing on TV dating show Take Me Out. The UK series, which is hosted by Paddy McGuinness, sees a host of single women judge budding Lotharios who are attempting to impress one of the girls and get a date. Murs is reported to have joked on stage at Lytham Proms on Sunday (August 5) that he is in talks with the show to get one of his band members on the programme. However, Murs said that he's first in line to take a crack at the dating show. He said: "We are in talks with Paddy McGuinness to get him on Take Me Out. Obviously he's got to join the queue - I'm already at the front." Murs has often admitted that he is somewhat unlucky in love, with the 28-year-old revealing that he was wanting to look to One Direction for some relationship advice when he supported them in North America earlier in the year.

Jessica Harris, health information manager at Cancer Research UK, said: "These statistics remind us it's more important than ever to invest in ways to reduce the number of people that develop and die of cancer across the world.

Fred Hayes, Director of Utah's Division of Parks and Recreation told ABC 4 News, "Certainly for us it's a big deal. We're coming into our busy season and Willard Bay is an incredibly popular destination. It's got great fishing, great camping; it's a great place for people to come play on the beach."
But that beach is now contaminated with thousands of gallons of diesel fuel. The Department of Water Quality estimates of the 20,000 gallons spilled, about 3,000 gallons have yet to be cleaned up, and now they've learned some of it is now seeping into the ground water.
Walt Baker, Director of Utah's Division of Water Quality explained, "There's product making its way out to the bay. We're seeing hits out beyond the booms and although they're low levels they're still there."
Once they stop the seepage into the ground water and get the water cleaned up, then they'll clean up the contaminated soil, but that could take weeks even months to complete.
"We don't know when the park will be open," said Hayes. "We've heard all sorts of estimates. We've talked about a couple of weeks, now it's a couple of months."
Hayes says the state would rather the clean up take a little longer than have the park open up early and have the job not done properly.
"We are going to be sure it's done right and that the place is safe and healthy again for families to come out and play," said Hayes.

Sunshine and bright skies are starting to break out across north Norfolk as the stormy weather moves out across the North Sea.
Cromer, Sheringham, Holt, North Walsham, Aylsham and numerous villages were hammered by heavy downpours and blustery gusts of wind earlier this morning.
By 11.30am however, the skies began to brighten and the sun started to come out.
But the stormy weather has caused some disruption.
In Sheringham a tree came down across Cromer Road, blocking the road and entrance to the fire station. Staff from the newly opened Tesco store, which sits opposite the station, rallied together to move it.
Store manager Simon Nellis, said: "One of my team members alerted me to the fallen tree. There was nobody in at the fire or police station so we were quite concerned that if there was an emergency, they wouldn't have easy access in and out of the building."
The staff moved the tree onto a path, where it remains, and have coned off the area.
Further south, staff at Blicking Hall have made the decision to shut the gardens due to concerns about some older trees. Extra activities are being laid on in the house and the closure will be reviewed later this afternoon.
The Bure Valley Railway in Aylsham is not operating a service due to the forecast high winds. Trains are expected to run as normal tomorrow.
Sheringham Park and Felbrigg Hall are open as usual.
A spokesman for North Norfolk District Council said bin collection services went ahead as normal this morning. A couple of trees were reported to have blown down in the west of the district but crews had managed to circumnavigate them.
Street cleaners had been asked to ensure gulleys were free of leaves to prevent surface water accumulating where possible.

WEC's Bi-Monthly Commentary on Energy Issues, 15 June 2008
We announced in an earlier EnergyFax that the website for the 2008 Executive Assembly in Mexico City would open on 1 March so that WEC members could register to attend. Apparently, some members have experienced problems accessing the registration page on the site. This problem has now been resolved, and all members should be able to register, book hotels, see the EA meeting schedule, view the accompanying person and social programmes, select technical tours, etc.
The general EA website address is: http://wec2008mexico.com, and the link to the registration page is http://wec2008mexico.com/index.php?leng=eng&link=registration. Both pages may be accessed via the WEC website. On the homepage, click on "News and Events" at the top; the first item under "WEC News" on the following page is the link to the 2008 EA website.
As I mentioned at the Rome EA, our Chairman, Mr. Gadonneix, proposed an additional study for the 2008-2010 work programme - a periodic report assessing practises, by country and by selected policy or programme, which achieve results in terms of WEC's three As. The objective of this study is to ensure WEC's impact on the Bali process culminating in COP-15 in Copenhagen in December 2009. Mr. Gadonneix believes WEC can play a strong role in this debate and occupy a landscape which no other organisation currently occupies.
The Studies Committee discussed Mr. Gadonneix' proposal at length and agreed that, although the EA had already approved the 2008-2010 Business Plan in Rome, this new study is important and can be integrated into WEC's existing studies for 2008-2010. The Studies Committee agreed there is synergy between the already approved Vulnerabilities work and this Assessment and that the skill shortages, manufacturing bottlenecks, water and logistics proposed as sub-topics for the vulnerabilities work can be incorporated into the metrics for the Assessment. While Vulnerabilities will now be folded into the Assessment work, it is possible that special reports on certain Vulnerabilities aspects could be published as stand alone reports.
The Studies Committee also agreed that the Assessment study must be a WEC study which fully involves WEC members. Thulani Gcabasche, who previously agreed to chair Vulnerabilities, will play a prominent role in the Assessment and will sit on its Steering Committee. The 70+ WEC members who were nominated to the Vulnerabilities Study Group will now become the Study Group for the Assessment, while a Committee of Experts selected from among global leaders will review the Assessment results.
At the 16 May meeting of the Officers Council, Studies Committee Chair C.P. Jain presented the summary of the Studies Committee's deliberations and recommended that the Officers authorise incorporating the Assessment into a revised 2008-2010 Business Plan which the Executive Assembly will be asked to approve in Mexico City. A copy of the revised Business Plan is available on GEIS but will also be distributed as part of the printed EA agenda in September.
Plans are to prepare an Assessment White Paper for the FT-WEC Energy Leaders Forum in September that lays out the methodology. A preliminary report would drafted for the COP-14 meeting in Poland in December, with a full report for COP-15 in Copenhagen in 2009 and a presentation and discussion at the 2010 Montreal Congress. After the EA this November, the Studies Committee will assess this plan and the work to date.
I had the pleasure of moderating a session on 4 June in Canada on "Challenging Our Vision of Tomorrow," with the largest utilities in the G8 countries, which collaborate under the E8 nomenclature.
E8 attracts the CEOs of AEP and Duke from the US (along with EPRI and EEI for good measure), Hydro Québec and Ontario Power Corporation from Canada, EdF from France, ENEL from Italy, RWE from Germany, RusHydro from Russia (one of the five spin-off companies from the unbundling of RAO UES) and TEPCO and KANSAI from Japan. They finance and work together on a series of access and carbon mitigation projects in a dozen or so developing countries.
All E8 utilities are members of WEC, and several are also WEC Patrons. About half of these utilities are state-owned, while the others are partially or wholly privatised. The contrast of views on climate change technologies is remarkable, but they seem to agree with the WEC view that:
" carbon emissions will worsen to roughly 2030 before they get better;
" we are in a major adaptation phase which could be more important in the long run than mitigation. An increase in nuclear power and large hydro will help, but it will also be necessary to get serious regulatory recognition for energy efficiency measures that allow a benefit to the cost base of the companies which achieve demand-side reductions;
" we have moved from a cheaper energy world into a world which, not only for primary production such as oil and gas but also for electricity, will experience higher and more volatile prices;
" generally speaking, the targets of governments, such as the EU 20-20-20 programme to cut CO2 by 20% by 2030 while raising renewables' share of electricity generation to 20% and cutting demand by 20%, are simply unrealistic;
" there are best practise energy policies and programmes around the world which need to be evaluated and applied in a wide range of countries. The new WEC study on "Assessment of Energy Policies and Practises" was well received when Pierre Gadonneix described it as a critical means of influencing both the COP work in Poland in December and the post-Bali debate of the UNFCCC culminating in the Copenhagen meeting in December 2009.
Marie-José Nadeau and Hydro Québec did a fine job of organising this E8 encounter on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the founding of Québec City by Samuel de Champlain. Ms. Nadeau and the Montreal 2010 Congress organising team are very experienced and well on target with sponsors, exhibition space and the programme, which we hope to present to you at the EA in November.
The Second South East European Energy Dialogue was held in Thessaloniki, Greece, on 21-22 May. This annual event, held for the second consecutive year, brought together major regional policy and industry leaders to discuss the agenda of long-term energy strategy for the South East European region. The Dialogue was organised by the Greek Energy Institute for South East Europe (IENE) and WEC, with the support of the Hellenic Ministry of Development and WEC's Greek Committee. Minister Christos Folias and Ministry Secretary General Constantinos Mousouroulis inaugurated the event.
The Dialogue aims to identify key regional energy issues and suggest reliable solutions to policy-makers and market players, focusing on improvements to the regional energy infrastructure and new projects for supplying hydrocarbons from the Caspian Basin and from Russia to Europe. Over 70 speakers and panellists from twenty countries took part, along with representatives from seven international organisations including the European Commission, the World Bank, the International Energy Agency and the Energy Charter Treaty Organization.
WEC held a separate Round Table to present the global studies and the European regional studies which were produced for the 2005-2007 work cycle. The Round Table was chaired by WEC's Regional Manager for Europe, Slav Slavov.
