Filling the Void II
Cicotello, David M, Literature/Film Quarterly
Filling the Void II William Kittredge and Steven M. Krauzer, Stories into Film. Harper and Row, 1979. 287 pp. $5.95
The purpose of Kittredge and Krauzer's Stories into Film is to "present good short stories that became good movies. "This modest claim is exceeded in a book which distinctly fills another void in the film and literature textbook industry. That gap, of course, is the paucity of texts that collect the literary sources of major films. The only other available collection of recent memory is the Dell edition of The American Short Story (1977) based on the PBS film series of the same name. But Stories into Film far outstrips the latter with a number of attractive features for the teacher planning a film and literature course.
Though not a primary textbook, Stories into Film is a source book which seeks to "suggest some ideas about the relationship of film to literature, and to encourage the reader to pursue the topic further." The nine stories/films include Freaks, Night Bus (It Happened one Night), Stage to Lordsburg (Stagecoach), Cyclist's Raid (The Wild One), Rear Window, The Hustler, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Blow-Up, and The Sentinel (2001: A Space Odyssey). This selection of stories/films insures a desired range of genre from western to science fiction, horror to suspense, main- stream to experimental. The films are representative of a number of auteurs including Capra, Hitchcock, Kubrick, Antonioni, and Ford (two films).
In the Introduction to the text, Kittredge and Krauzer deftly outline the distinguishing characteristics of film and fiction. The authors then argue that both writers and filmmakers "affirm the same goal: each one wants to make us see consciously and humanly instead of through a haze of sociological and psychological cliches; each wants us to perceive what is real and true, what has substance. …

DBZ Releases The Croc Skin Bolero Guitar
DBZ Guitars has announced a new addition to their Bolero series of guitars. In case you haven't been paying attention DBZ Guitars, a relatively new guitar manufacturer, was founded by legendary guitar designer Dean Zelinsky. Zelinsky, not to be confused with Ray Zalinsky the "auto-parts king", is well known for starting Dean Guitars in 1976. He launched DBZ Guitars at this past Winter NAMM show.
The new Croc Skin Bolero model has a very unique design. The guitar features a textured maple top that has been designed and painted to look like real reptile skin. Full story…
The DBZ Croc Skin Bolero has a thick solid maple body that lends itself to a brighter tonality along with custom-voiced DBZ pickups built to compliment the Croc Skin Bolero's design. DBZ also offers a pickup upgrade to EMG Pickups (81/85). The guitar also features a cool looking tailpiece that's been engraved with Dean Zelinsky's name.
The Croc Skin Bolero, a US-made guitar, also includes 22-fret set mahogany neck, an ebony fingerboard, graphite saddles and Sperzel tuners. DBZ Guitars has set the MSRP value at $6,220 and it has a minimum advertised price of $3,999.

I'm not sure if it's INSPIRING or DEPRESSING to hear about the little decisions that helped RICH PEOPLE get rich. Because maybe it means you were just one small tweak away from becoming a millionaire.
Here are the top six decisions wealthy people made in their lives that helped them get where they are today.
1. Keep an eye on the long-term goal. People have a tendency to get trapped in jobs just trying to pay the bills, and stop working toward their ultimate goal.
2. Stay in a smaller home instead of trading up when you make more money. Rather than tie up all your money and overextend yourself for a house, you can use the money for better investments.
3. Don't burn a bridge by telling off an employer on the way out of a job. When you're in an industry long enough, you cross paths with everyone again.
4. Smart salary negotiation. Since most raises are based on a percentage of your salary, make sure you get your starting salary as high as possible.
5. Smart networking. Meet successful people, listen to what they have to say, and stay in touch so they think of you when they have an opportunity.
6. Be smart . . . but not too smart. It's good to be the smartest person in the room, but the person who also praises other people's ideas and listens to what they have to say can last a lot longer.

Is anyone out there* using web2py?
- In production?
- With what database?
With Google Application Engine?
- by "out there" I mean at stackoverflow.
Is anyone out there* using web2py?
You are welcome to ask the same question on the google group. You will find more than 500 users there and some of them are development companies building projects for their clients.
My impression is that most of them use postgresql (that's what I do to) and some others use the Google App Engine. In fact web2py is the only framework that allows you to write code once and the same code will run on GAE, SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MSSQL and FireBird (with the limitations imposed by GAE).
You can find the Reddish (reddit clone) appliance with source code for GAE here
Here you can find links to some productions app. Some are running on GAE.
Nothing is wrong with Django or Pylons. They are excellent frameworks. I have used them before developing web2py. There are a few things you can do with web2py that you cannot with them. For example:
There are many things that web2py does better (using a more coherent API) and faster (processing templates and generating SQL for example). web2py is also very compact (all modules fit in 265K bytes) and therefore it is much easier to maintain than those competing projects.
You only have to learn Python and 81 new function/classes (50 of which have the same names and attributes as corresponding HTML tags,
Anyway, the most important issue is that web2py is easier than Django, Pylons, PHP and Rails.
You will also notice that web2py is hosted on both Google Code and Launchpad and there are not open tickets. All past issues have been resolved in less than 24 hours.
You can also check on the google mailing list that all threads (10056 messages today) ended up with an answer from me or one of the other developers within 24 hours.
You can find a book on web2py on Amazon.
Armin, I know you are the developer of Jinja. I like Jinja but have different design philosophies. Both Django and Jinja define their own template languages (and Jinja in particular has excellent documentation) but I do prefer to use pure Python in templates so that my users do no need to learn a template language at all. I am well aware of the pros and cons of each approach. Let's the users decide what they prefer. No need to criticize each other.
@Andre: db.table.field refers to the field object. 'table.field' is a field name. You can always pass a field object when a field name is required because str(db.table.field) is 'table.field'. The only case you are required to use a string instead of an object is when you need to reference by name a field that has not already been defined... perhaps we should move this discussion to the proper place. ;-)
I hope you will decide to give web2py a try and, whether you like it or not, I would love to hear your opinion.
I'm using web2py for a small web app. It's running the HITs on a Mechanical Turk project, and giving me an interface to control and visualize them. I started on Google App Engine, but then got sick of the little annoyances of not having direct database access and having to wait forever each time I want to upload my code, and moved to a local server with postgres. GAE makes most things harder in order to make a few scaling things easier... stay away from it unless you really need their scaling help.
I like web2py a lot. Compared to Django and Ruby on Rails, it's WAY easier to learn and get going. Everything is simple. You get stuff done fast. Massimo is everywhere solving your problems (even on this board haha).
I started using web2py about 6 month ago. I choose it, because I wanted to move from PHP to Python, to have a more object-oriented approch because of the language featrues of python.
The all-in-one approach of web2py is really amazing and makes the start very fast.
As a former symfony user I soon started to miss Components and Forms that aren't dependend on table structure.
Just with a simple registration form, I could not find a way to do the Form DRY. For me the real bugger was the form validation. I forgot the details, but I ended up with having form validation in the forms itself. Because some thing just didn't work else.
Also the naming concept of capitalised words with that lot of repeated chars is just not my thing.
Sometimes the names have to be in quotes, sometimes not ... and if I looked at the examples or sites already made with web2py, I really didn't see that big step forward from using php.
I recommend you: Look if web2py works for you. It would be nice, because the community and especially massimo (the creator) are very helpful and nice.
Also you have a much quicker start, than with django, easier deployment and less hassle if you change your database models.
As Massimo points out above, the team at tenthrow uses web2py for tenthrow.com
We did most of our development work during 2009. Our stack uses cherokee, web2py, postgresql, and amazon s3. We had done many python web implementations prior to this on a variety of frameworks and backends. To say that we simply could not have done tenthrow so quickly and easily without web2py is an understatement. It's the best kept secret in web development.
I am evaluating web frameworks for a long time now. I wrote my own (not open) frameworks in Perl and in PHP. Well, PHP has a builtin deadend and the whole infrastructure is still quite poor, but I did not want to go back to Perl, so I checked Python and the Python Web Frameworks like Django, Turbogears, Pylon and web2py. There are many things to think about, if you want to choose a codestack that is not your own and you will often scratch your head because there is still no "right way" to program things. However, web2py is my current favourite, because the author, despite beeing a "real programmer", keeps things easy! Just look at the comparison on web2py site - I was wondering why python frameworks like django or turbogears had to introduce such redundance and complicated syntax in their code - web2py shows, that it IS in fact possible to keep your syntax clean and easy!
@Armin: could you please specify you criticism? Where exactly do you see web2py "bypassing Python semantics"? I can not understand, what you mean. I must admit that I am not that deep into python right now, but I see no problem with the web2py code - in fact, I think it is brilliant and one of the best frameworks available today.
There are some users listed here: http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/who.
I'm starting to use it with Postgresql. But a long way off production... I've also played with Zope V2 and Ruby on Rails and really love the approach of web2py.
I vote for Web2py. I only have time to develop small but useful stuff for my own use.
Hopefully next month I will have an oppty to create an app that is perfect for Web2py and run on Google app engine.
Web2py = breath of fresh air!
I am not using web2py. But I had a look at the source code and it's horrible for so many reasons. For one the database definitions as well as the views and models and I don't know what, are evaluated against a global dictionary of values. It feels like PHP in that regard (it's bypassing Python semantics in name behaviour) and is very inefficient and I could imagine that it's hard to maintain.
I have no idea where all that fuzz about web2py is coming from lately, but I really can't see a reason why anyone would want to use it.
What's wrong with Django or Pylons? What does web2py do that you can't do with Django in a few lines of code with a better performance, code that's easier to read and on an established platform where tons of developers will jump in and fix problems in no time if they appear. (Well, there are exceptions I must admit, but in general the developers fix problems quickly)
We are using it with our website that teachers Chinese, www.dominochinese.com. Our host is pythonanywhere.com and we love the simplicity of it. I work on building stuff instead of wishing I could get stuff working. I worked with django for 1.5 years and I hated it. In a sense I feel web2py is the PHP but in python. It makes people quickly do stuff without going into object oriented programming, which can be really confusing for beginners to intermediate programmers.
I have been evaluating web frameworks for sometime now. I prefer web2py because it's easy to follow, compact yet powerful.
I like it because it is so tiny that I can easily distribute with my application.
I am using web2py for 2 years, this web frameworks is great and unique. Easy to use, accept a lot of DB's but the best DB supported is postgres. I have created 2 projects with web2py and a really like how easy it is. 1 project is a financial management and other a mail tracker, both in production systems (4 linux lpar with postgres) running fine. web2py is a good choice
[small application created with web2py 2.5.1] updated
I use web2py for academic purposes. About a year ago I published on pythonanywhere a digital text book for german grammar.
The resource requires authentication and looks like a little LMS with roles, activities and grades. It was my first experience of this kind. And it was a success because PHP was to difficult for me, and only web2py could provide a clear way to handle a database. With Python I could easily solve my problems as e. g. text analysis and downloading reports. As for database so SQLite was completely enough.
My students like the design and the way everything is functioning. So I am very satisfied with the results and going to develop other interesting applications for my university.
I think web2py is very good for applied linguists and L2 teachers, who are not as experienced in computer science as programmers. So that was my humble opinion.
Actually it's using MySQL, but it could switch to postgresql at a moments notice as web2py is so diverse :)
I am using web2py in production with postgres on webfaction, and also on the GAE.
I used web2py for small projects so far, but I hope to introduce it in my company. It's my favorite web framework.
My blog is running on GAE with web2py.
I also have a facebook apps running on top of web2py: My Top 10 Gift
We started to use Web2py 7 months ago. We already have one application in production in El Prado (National Museum in Spain). We developed a app to check and automate all the systems, to make servers statistics, access statistics, etc.
I use it in production on Google Appengine for www.crowdgrader.org. I store data as follows:
I am slowly migrating more storage to the Datastore, to get more write bandwidth for things that do not require complex queries and can deal with a bit of eventual consistency.
I am very happy about web2py + appengine + Google Cloud SQL + Datastore + Blobstore.
Well, I am using Web2Py professionally, with PostgreSQL, and on linux. I am working on my Social network named "Ourway". You may like some features of it like "Blog" part.
http://www.noobmusic.com is using the Google App Engine.
I am using web2py in production. Currently while in early production we are developing with SQLite because it is easy and it comes out of the box but later we will probably switch to MySQL. I don' think there are any plans to use Google App Engine.

Described by the band as a combination of "adult contemporary progressive death metal", the album runs together as a 64-minute epic split up into 8 tracks. In its first week, it sold approximately 12,600 copies good for 57th on the Billboard 200 and marked the first time the band cracked the top 100 on that list.

Sen. Don Gaetz went after Gary Farmer during the trial lawyer's appearance before the budget committee taking testimony on an omnibus property insurance bill.
Farmer spoke in support of Sen. Mike Fasano's amendment that would require insurers to pay for replacement cost no matter how the property owner spends the money. Sometimes banks hold on to the funds without releasing them within 90 days, Farmer argued, setting Gaetz off.
Gaetz demanded the names of the banks and how often it happens.
"A lot of us sit on bank boards and know better," Gaetz, R-Niceville, said.
A flustered Farmer who could not immediately provide the information, but Fasano was prepared.
He read from a constituent's letter who could not get her mortgage holder to release funds for repairs she had on her home despite numerous attempts.
The amendment passed.

April 27, 2014
Overall thoughts on the day
"We were disappointed in our performance on Saturday and met this morning to remind ourselves of how we want to conduct ourselves as a team. Today saw a return to one of our guiding principles. We demonstrated a workman-like attitude in competing today and grinding out some tough wins in some wet and challenging weather. Two wins in one day will make the long ride home feel a little shorter."
On closing out the season with a pair of wins
"Anna Wruck and Amber Bennett finished their college sand volleyball careers today and I am very happy for them that their team won twice on their final day on the court. It is a nice way to finish the regular season. I am grateful for how hard Anna and Amber worked and for all the sacrifices they made to be on this team. They helped build this program as founding players three years ago and will always be a part of our history."
On the team's balance throughout today's matches
"We showed good balance again in our lineups with wins at four of the five flights and were able to pick up our teammates well when one or another pair didn't win. Our No. 1 pair of Tea and Jackie were able to get a great win against UAB with the dual on the line when we stumbled on the No. 3 court, and our No. 3 pair of Hannah and Anna were able to win for our team when our No. 1 faltered against ULM. That's the essence of a team sport. You compete for your teammates and to make a contribution to the whole knowing that everyone else is doing the same."
On winning at No. 4 and No. 5 in both contests
"The consistency we received from Courtney and Olivia on the No. 4 court and from Miah and Sarah on the No. 5 court was critical to our team's success. In each match, they got us out to 2-0 leads and allowed us some flexibility in our later matches knowing we needed to earn just one more point. By winning consistently, the No. 4 and No. 4 allow us to play a different style of volleyball for the rest of the dual - one where we can force the action without being so risk-averse."
On the 2014 season
"This season was a great experiment in learning and foundation building, and even still we were able to accomplish many of our goals, including having a winning season and getting Tulane University sand volleyball represented at the national championship. As students, we have excelled in the classroom. As athletes, we are tactically smarter than ever before. And as people, we have grown together in all of the ways that truly matter when the ball is not flying on the court. I am proud of that and proud of the players for accomplishing so much in so little time."

The Writing Across the Curriculum program at the College of Staten Island is conducting a study on the challenges, motivations, and experiences that students at CSI have in regards to writing assignments in their coursework. The aim of this research project is to better understand students' relationship to writing and to use this knowledge to see how writing pedagogy can be effectively applied and best utilized as a learning tool throughout the college's many disciplines. We would like permission to interview you about your experiences with college-level writing.
The goal of this project is to see learn more about students' experiences with college writing. We are interested in hearing about students' writing process: how they prepare for assignments, how they feel while doing them, what they want/get from grades and comments, as well as what they think are the benefits and drawbacks of different kinds of writing assignments.
We will be presenting the results of this study later in the semester; please check your email for an announcement regarding the presentation date.

brand build up through innovation was epitomised through the tagline and the brand ambassador Aamir Khan further stemmed it in the Indian mindset.
In media we have covered all the verticals. We have taken dominant position in the online media where the buzz is enormous. In our retail establishment and distributionwhile we have increased our distribution width, have done large investment in branded and formatted retail investmentwe have our own set of stores which are exclusive. The Samsung Smartphone Cafes and Samsung Mobile Brand Store provide a differentiated end consumer experience.
These retail concepts provide an interactive experience for consumers looking to buy Samsung smartphones, tablets and portable PCs and get insights on the products. We also have well trained demonstrators for explaining the product features to the consumers, helping them to choose the right phone.
How has the market responded to the hybrid category such as Galaxy Note?
Consumer response was better than our expectations. A lot of existing smartphone consumers are adopting a converged device like Note as it is a beautiful blend of smartphone and tablet and hence got instant acceptance. Globally, we have sold more than three million Galaxy Note II smartphones in a little over a month after its launch.
How important is the Indian market for Samsung? What will be the strategy going forward for the Indian market?
India is one of the top strategic markets for Samsung. We have the largest R&D in India. India has a huge consumer base which is critical for Samsung. It is a large and open market where opportunity of proving and winning is immense and is therefore an exciting market to be in.
Over the last few years and future, the biggest mode to recognition is conforming and building a product and having a global line stem out of a lead market. In India, we have launched many products which were germinated out of India into many other global markets.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Kate Upton Split! How Long Were They Together?
In less than festive news Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Kate Upton have gone their separate ways, according to an Us Weekly report.
The buxom Sports Illustrated model and the Dancing With The Stars pro started dating six months ago and just confirmed their romance in the fall. Despite their split, the two remain friendly, a source tells Us.
"They are really good friends still and speak all the time, but their schedules just made it too difficult and it fell apart," the insider continues. "[Maksim] has a lot of respect for her, but it just wasn't working anymore." And the straight men of the universe thank you for that, Maksim. (His rep declined to comment on the matter of his client's personal life, adds Us.)
Back in October, Maksim told Us that 21-year-old Kate was "an amazing person" and that they had "an incredible time together." Although neither expected to hit it off so well (um okay), the almost 34-year-old dancer said "we enjoy each other's company very much." Just like we enjoyed betting on how beautiful a Maksim-Kate kidlet would be. Sigh. Guess that level of hotness would be just too much for the world to handle.
As sad as we are to see the up-and-coming power couple break up, we doubt either of them will be lonely under the mistletoe for long.

Recently I've been playing around with cross compiling using GCC and discovered what seems to be a complicated area, tool-chains.
I don't quite understand this as I was under the impression GCC can create binary machine code for most of the common architectures, and all that else really matters is what libraries you link with and what type of executable is created.
Can GCC not do all these things itself? With a single build of GCC, all the appropriate libraries and the correct flags sent to GCC, could I produce a PE executable for a Windows x86 machine, then create an ELF executable for an embedded Linux MIPS device and finally an executable for an OSX PowerPC machine? If not can someone explain how you would achieve this?

Relations between the granola heads and motor heads are thawing.
After spending the last half of 2009 attacking one another, conservationists promoting the Hidden Gems Wilderness Campaign and an umbrella organization for forest users who oppose the plan are now exploring compromise.
Representatives of Wilderness Workshop and other environmental groups have been meeting with representatives of the White River Forest Alliance for about six weeks. Neither side is making promises.
Even if it doesn't yield an agreement on a Wilderness proposal, the process has been valuable for building trust and opening communication, said Sloan Shoemaker, executive director of Wilderness Workshop and Jack Albright, vice president of the White River Forest Alliance.
"It's a great thawing of what was very polarizing before," Shoemaker said.
Wilderness Workshop and other environmental groups want to place Wilderness protection on additional public lands in Pitkin, Eagle, Garfield, Gunnison, Mesa and Summit counties. Wilderness prohibits mechanized uses, from four-wheel-drive vehicles to mountain bikes.
At one time, Hidden Gems planned targeted 400,000 additional acres. That has been whittled down by an undetermined amount through compromises with rock climbers, mountain bikers, ranchers and - as a result of the latest talks - snowmobilers.
Albright and Shoemaker said Hidden Gems is withdrawing land in the East Willow Creek area, southwest of Carbondale, from Hidden Gems. Shoemaker said the area, south of Thompson Creek, is "snowmobile heaven" so it was pulled out after one of the discussions with the forest alliance and a snowmobile group. Shoemaker said the acreage affected wasn't immediately available.
"It doesn't mean we're going to simply walk away from them," Shoemaker said of withdrawn areas. Alternative protection, but not Wilderness, will be sought for East Willow Creek.
Other meetings will be used to identify concerns of users groups over specific lands in the Hidden Gems proposal. Maps are marked with areas recreational users want excluded. Once all concerns have been identified, the Hidden Gems proponents will "evaluate how do we resolve some of these conflicts," Shoemaker said. There is no deadline for how long the talks will be held. As long as progress is made, the two sides will keep talking.
"I don't think we have any illusions that we'll have 100 percent agreement," Shoemaker said, adding they would be satisfied if the forest alliance didn't oppose the plan.
Albright stressed that the White River Forest Alliance "still stands in opposition" to the proposal. It will reserve judgment until the proponents make their final adjustments and a bill is introduced in U.S. Congress. The alliance may never support or endorse the proposal, he said.
Not all members of the forest alliance support the talks, or what Albright labeled "a collaborative process." Their position is "not a single acre more" of Wilderness. "That's a segment, not a majority," he said.
Regardless of whether a compromise occurs, Albright said the process is democracy at its finest. Citizens have a legal right to pursue the addition of Wilderness. "The people that live and recreate here have a right to oppose it," he said.
The political reality appears that Hidden Gems must try to eliminate conflict with as many user groups as possible. No member of Congress will want to introduce a bill if the issue seems particularly contentious.
However, Shoemaker insisted there has been no change of direction for Hidden Gems proponents. The intent all along was to reach out to forest stakeholders, he said. "This is precisely the process we were hoping to go through."
It didn't always appear that way. In August 2009, Shoemaker told The Aspen Times that only so much compromise was possible. "Everybody says, 'We like Wilderness, just don't do it where it affects my pursuit, my adrenaline rush, my activity.' I just ask people to look at higher values than our recreational pursuits," he said.
Shoemaker and Albright acknowledged there was plenty of rhetoric earlier in the Hidden Gems debate.

Big Brother 11: A Look Back
September 13, 2009 06:50 PM by Ryan Haidet
It's been a drama-filled summer in the Big Brother house. After huge fights, big power plays and back-stabbing moments, we are now down to the final three contestants. Tonight's episode brought a look back at the major moments from earlier this summer with a few (trust me — very few) new segments scattered throughout.
While sharing dinner, Kevin, Natalie and Jordan started reminiscing about previous events in the house. They first relived the moment when Jessie joined the game. Natalie said it was nice to see he was a fun person. But Kevin and Jordan felt like he was extremely arrogant. That's when a video clip was shown of him bragging about himself and how he always wins competitions. No big surprise here.
Then they brought up Ronnie. Kevin said the first time they met him that Ronnie seemed like a nice, laid-back personality. Then more footage of stuff we already saw of Ronnie getting tormented by Russell filled the screen. Then there was a new moment shown where Kevin got into a fight with Ronnie. Kevin didn't take any of Ronnie's stuff and called him out as a liar in front of everybody. It got so heated very quickly, and Kevin rushed and bumped chests with The Rat. Then Ronnie moved on to Chima and sobbed about it saying his feelings were hurt. Thank goodness Ronnie isn't still in the game. Whew.
Then the discussion led to Jeff and Jordan's relationship. This brought us to a pair of segments that were far from interesting. One was a bit humorous when Jordan revealed that if she could be any animal in the world that she would be a squirrel. Then it cut to a clip we have already seen where Jeff "proposed" to Jordan.
Away from dinner and moving toward the Memory Wall, since Jeff was the topic, the final three relived the moment when he used the power of Coup D'Etat. They said it was the biggest move in the game and was by far one of the most memorable. Once again, we were treated to another clip of regurgitated content, which was filled with reaction to Jeff's use of the Mystery Power.
The only clip worth re-watching this entire episode was the one where Natalie, Chima and Lydia were sobbing over Jessie's eviction. That is still the most unbelievable moment of the season, and by far the funniest one to see again.
Of course they talked about Chima's removal from the game. Natalie kept on standing up for her saying she realized what Chima had been going through. Ready for the surprise of the night? We saw the clip of Chima tossing her microphone into the hot tub once again. Really? Let's actually see something new!
After a night of nothing new, Tuesday night's live two-hour finale should be extremely entertaining. Who will win?

Wikipaella aims to help 'police' paella around the world. Snails and artichoke are all right, but chorizo is a no-no. - Filepic
Valencian trio hopes their Wikipaella site will bring traditional recipes to masses and rescue paella from further bastardisation.
HORRIFIED by chefs making paella with ingredients including poached eggs and avocados, three men from Spain's Valencian region have banded together to fight what they call the increasing "prostitution" of one of the country's most emblematic dishes.
Wikipaella aims to help "police" paella around the world, said co-founder Guillermo Navarro. "It's a dish that's really trendy these days. And there's lots of people taking advantage of it and selling what they call authentic, traditional or Spanish paella."
Time spent in Britain and the US gave Navarro a first-hand experience of how a dish treasured by his family for generations was losing its identity. "It's like no, amigo, no," he said, recalling some of the paellas he had eaten outside of Spain.
Particularly egregious to him was the slew of British chefs who add chorizo to their recipes. "If Jamie Oliver wants to make his own version of paella, well that's good," Navarro said. "But don't present as something authentic or traditional, because it's not. Imagine if we said that we were making typical British fish and chips and we were putting oranges in it?"
Navarro had thought that it was just a matter of misinformation outside of Spain. But the problem persisted when he moved to Madrid. "In Madrid, 90% of the paellas that you eat can't be compared to real paella."
It was from this frustration – shared by many from Spain's Valencian region – that Wikipaella was born. "It's a citizen's response to this problem," said Navarro. "They're pulling the wool over our eyes, we're going to try and tell the people this."
The site aims to be a portal into the world of authentic paella and other traditional rice dishes of the region; whether through certifying restaurants that serve the real deal, sharing recipes or answering the public's questions.
One of Wikipaella's first steps was to create a definitive list of what can be allowed in an authentic Valencian paella, some feat considering that each community in the region has their own take on the rice dish. After analysis of 170 traditional recipes, it was decided: yes to ingredients ranging from snails to rabbit and artichokes; but no to everything else – especially the artificial food colouring often used instead of saffron.
The site will be a place where paella fans – Spaniards and foreigners alike – can come together and share their thoughts on what makes the dish authentic, said Navarro. He is hoping to have the English version of the site up and running by Feb 28. "Our objective is to have the majority of people know what an authentic paella from our region is," he said. "We want it to be like pizza – where people can add in whatever ingredients they want, but that they know what a traditional pizza is."
His team is not alone in taking paella seriously. In Benidorm, the Saint Anthony Catholic University recently announced it would be launching what it said was the world's first Masters in rice and paella dishes of the Mediterranean. – Guardian News & Media

The July 15, 2013 edition of WWE Monday Night Raw was one of the top-to-bottom most enjoyable three-hour programs since they switched to 3 hours last summer. There were two big reasons for that. The first was because they were in front of a hot, enthusiastic crowd. New York is considered the "home market" for WWE and they were in the new Barclays Center (home of the Brooklyn Nets) for only the second time. It was the first time for Monday Night Raw.

I've wanted to do some type of awards article for the longest time now.

Then the idea got away from me until I realized what just passed: WrestleMania NY/NJ (XXIX!).
The Howitzer & Buzz-Saw Show – The Ides Of Madness
Madness. One word says it all. For some boring fools, March just means spring and warmer weather (or so they say). For the rest of us, it means the most madness filled sports month of the year. Professional athletes take a backseat to college kids. It's the NCAA Tournament. It's the place dreams come true, eternal memories are formed, hearts are broken, a nation unifies, and Davids and Goliaths are on an equal stage.
Mike "the Buzz-Saw" Asti and George "the Howitzer" Gerbo do what the rest of the country is doing, they fill out their brackets. Your favorite sports genius' go through the entire field and give their picks. Based on Mike's high winning percentage in competitions against George, can the Howitzer pull off a sports pick'em equivalent to a 16 over a 1 seed? On second thought, we'll be nice, 15 over a 2… At least that's been accomplished before.
What's their Final Four look like? Do elite programs like Louisville and Indiana have enough to go the distance? Will a year of improbable upsets continue? Can Gonzaga, now with expectations, finally get the job done and make a deep run? Is Duke vulnerable by carrying several disappointing losses? Is Miami (FL.) poised to prove themselves? Does the Michigan bandwagon have any room left? Which low seeded teams have that dark horse potential?
George always knows he's risking unbearable bragging and bravado any time he enters into a competitive venue against the Buzz-Saw.
We now all prepare for that one shining moment. You know what? Screw the corny stuff. Let the games begin!
The Howitzer and Buzz-Saw conquer madness and sports radio, one day, at a time…

We will have at least that many in 2013.
Have a super weekend and I will see you next week.
The Voodoo Blues Krewe's two acts performed in the quater finals Wednesday and last night. Very late last night we found out the results. Our solo act Kenny Acosta did not advance to the semi-finals while our band, Jonathon 'Boogie' Long and Blues Revolution will advance to the finals.
I have not heard yet where or when Jonathon will perform tonight but we will be there to support him.

Moritz Daniel Oppenheim (German, 1800–1882), Portrait of Fanny Hensel, 1842, oil on canvas, 42 x 32.5 cm. Private collection, New York.
The exhibition examines representative salons from Berlin, Vienna, Paris, London, New York, and Milan, their hosts, participants, and the art that flourished as a result of the contacts and conversations that took place there.
The Power of Conversation: Jewish Women and Their Salons examines the significant role played by the salons of Jewish women in the development of art, literature, music, theater, philosophy, and politics in Europe and America from the late 18th century through the 1940s.
The salon was an important and radical vehicle for the "democratization of the public sphere," providing a context in which nobility, artists and thinkers exchanged ideas across barriers of class, gender, nationality, economic standing, and religion, while society was rigidly defined along these lines. Salons enabled women and Jews—whose participation in official public life was restricted—to play a prominent role.
The exhibition probes the role that private conversations had in fostering the careers and fame of such celebrities as Felix Mendelssohn, Marcel Proust, Oscar Wilde, Gustav Klimt, Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Greta Garbo, and others. Henriette Herz, the first Jewish woman to host a salon; Ada Leverson, who welcomed Oscar Wilde to her salon even after his controversial arrest; Anna Kuliscioff, an activist ardently opposed to the oppression of women; and Margherita Sarfatti, who acted as Mussolini's political partner, are just a few of the engaging cast of characters to be introduced in the exhibition. A total of 197 objects are on view including portraits of the salonières and their guests, as well as letters, manuscripts, musical scores, political treatises, sculpture, paintings, plays, novels, poems, photographs, furniture, fashion, and film. The exhibition examines representative salons from Berlin, Vienna, Paris, London, Milan, New York, and Los Angeles.
The Power of Conversation focuses on 14 of the most powerful women who hosted these salons. Included are: the first Jewish salonières, Henriette Herz and Rahel Levin Varnhagen in 1780s Berlin; Fanny von Arnstein and her sister Cäcilie von Eskeles in Vienna; the famed music salons of Amalie Beer and Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel (the sister of Felix) in Berlin; the 1890s literary salons of Ada Leverson in London and Geneviève Straus in Paris; the subversive political salon of Anna Kuliscioff in Milan; the modernist art salons of Berta Szeps Zuckerkandl in Vienna and Margherita Sarfatti in Milan; the avant-garde gatherings of Gertrude Stein in Paris and Florine Stettheimer in New York; and the salon of Salka Viertel in 1930s Los Angeles.
Conversation, literature and music play an integral part in the experience of the exhibition through a specially created audio guide/audio theater. Visitors hear conversations, memoirs, letters and performances of the hostesses and their salon guests. Produced by the Jewish Museum in association with Antenna Audio, the audio theater will be available to exhibition visitors for free.

Conservation with Justice: A Rights Based Approach
23 October 2009 | News story
The term 'rights-based approach' (RBA) has been used in various contexts and defined in different ways. The newest IUCN publication "Conservation with Justice: A Rights-based Approach" aims at informing all actors (governments, the private sector, local communities, non-governmental organizations) about the RBA and its potential contribution to guiding activities that, if unrestrained, may have a detrimental impact on nature conservation.
The publication introduces the concept of RBA and examines how it is currently being applied (or not) and how it may be applied to develop law and policy on three specific topics where activities conducted by numerous actors have had particularly negative impacts on conservation and livelihoods, and where introducing a RBA might be significantly positive for both. It is expected that implementing a RBA in relation to the three topics - forests, protected areas, and climate change – will serve to facilitate cooperation among the many relevant actors to shape projects towards conservation, while ensuring justice among the various stakeholders.

America's Next Top Model fans were understandably puzzled when the show's creator, Tyra Banks got rid of the long-time judges and co-hosts, Nigel Barker, Miss J. Alexander, and Jay Manuel. Tyra is seeking new ways to get the show's ratings back up, after viewers have started to get bored with the same old format.
The three men seemed to have been there from the beginning. One of the former judges who doesn't seem to be taking too big of a fall from the ousting is Nigel Barker, the photographer and author of "Nigel Barker's Beauty Equation." He'll be joining the team for Oxygen's new show, "The Face," another inside look inside the world of modeling.
He's joining the Naomi Campbell, and supermodels Karolina Kurkova, Coco Rocha who will serve as coaches for the models. Barker, will serve as the show's host. We have to wonder if Campbell's temper will present itself on the show. She is known for being difficult to work with and has been sued by a former assistant for throwing her phone at her.
"The Face" is scheduled to air in 2013 and casting for the aspiring models is currently underway. The winner will earn a contract with some yet-to-be-disclosed brand. It sounds like they are working to compete with Tyra's show, as the market for reality shows like this one has proven to be quite lucrative for television networks and advertisers.
Oxygen describes the show as "a new reality competition series that features aspiring female models in their quest to win the opportunity of becoming 'the face' for a well-known brand."
The supermodel coaches will scout and choose their teams from aspiring young models nationwide before guiding them through "assignments"and eliminating them until one model wins the coveted contract.

Mooney Steps Into Leadership Role At IGPA
University of Illinois Springfield political scientist Chris Mooney will take over next month as the head of U of I's Institute of Government and Public Affairs.
WUIS listeners know Mooney as a frequent panelist on State Week in Review.
Mooney says the Institute's researchers and professors can bring together the university's resources to help lawmakers deal with the state's problems.
"That provides a longer view, a broader view, sort of a different take than they're going to get from their staff, from lobbyists and so forth. So it's a unique contribution."
The IGPA's workers have, for example, helped to draft one proposal legislators are considering as they look to reduce the state's pension costs.
Mooney is a nationally recognized expert in state politics. He helped found the academic journal "State Politics and Policy Quarterly." He's also the author of a commonly used undergraduate textbook "State and Local Politics: Institutions and Reform."
Mooney is the past director of the Institute for Legislative Studies at UIS, where he's been on the faculty since 1999. He's been part of the IGPA faculty since 2004.
The Institute's previous director, Robert Rich, retired last summer citing personal reasons. Professor Fred Giertz has been in charge in the interim.
Mooney - who will make $201,000 a year in his new capacity - takes over August 16th, though his appointment is subject to the Board of Trustee's approval at its September meeting.

North edges Liggett in title game
Bob St. John Sports Editor

January 03, 2013
For the first time in four years, Grosse Pointe North's girls' hockey team won the University Liggett Holiday Invitational.
North beat host Liggett 3-0 in the title game played Saturday, Dec. 22. It was the first time these city rivals played for the championship.
"Our girls were focused in both games and it showed with some excellent play at both ends of the ice," North head coach Joe Lucchese said. "We haven't won the trophy in four years, so it's nice to win it back with a nice win."
Above, Grosse Pointe North coaches and players celebrate after the girlsâ hockey team won the University Liggett Holiday Invitational. Below, University Liggettâs Chandler Warren played well in the Knightsâ semifi nal win over Bloomfi eld Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood.
North has played in this tournament championship game the past several years, but the past four were lost by a goal to nemesis Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood.
"We have played some tough luck games the past few years with Cranbrook, but we had the fortune of playing Liggett in this year's final," Lucchese said. "It was a good game for both teams."
The Norsemen scored a goal in each period and senior goalkeeper Sarah Richardson posted her second straight shutout against the Knights.
Senior Julia Henderson scored a goal at the 9:38 mark of the first period with seniors Katie Bowles and Bryn Moody drawing assists.
In the second period, freshman Lindsay Gallagher tallied, with senior Natalie Skorupski and sophomore Karina Lucchese netting assists.
The Norsemen iced the game when senior Sara Villani scored a power-play goal at the 6:16 mark of the third period as freshman Elizabeth Gallagher had the lone assist.
Head coach Cassie Jaeckle and her Knights had ample chances to score goals as freshman Jennifer Kusch, freshman Grace Scarfone, freshman Allison Stapleton, senior Hannah Mason and junior Hannah Hodges had solid scoring chances.
Richardson came up with some big saves to preserve the shutout and Knights' freshman goalkeeper Olivia Portillo faced nearly 70 shots, stopping all but three.
Making the All-Tournament team for North were Skorupski, Moody and Richardson, and for the Knights it was junior Ania Dow, senior Aria Ganz-Waple and Portillo.
"We could have scored a few more goals if it wasn't for Liggett's goalie stepping up with a nice game," Lucchese said. "Both goalies played well."
In the semifinals, Grosse Pointe North had little trouble beating Northville 8-0 and the shocker came when Liggett defeated Cranbrook-Kingswood 3-2. It was Liggett's first win over CK in several years.
"The girls played very well and it was a big win for our program," Jaeckle said. "Our girls played very well, especially down the stretch when we had the one-goal lead."
Grosse Pointe North improved to 6-1 overall, while Liggett is 4-4 overall.

Dr. W. David Hardy to Lead ARA as New Chairman of the BoardReturn to The Insider: News & Views
September 30 2013
AIDS Research Alliance is pleased to announce that Dr. W. David Hardy, Clinical Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and formerly the Director of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, has officially accepted the role of Chairman of the Board of AIDS Research Alliance.
In this capacity, Dr. Hardy will bring considerable expertise, borne of a long and distinguished career in HIV/AIDS research and treatment, to ARA. He will work closely with ARA Medical Director Dr. Stephen Brown and ARA CEO Carolyn Carlburg to harness the scientific knowledge and financial support necessary to advance the development of prostratin, ARA's HIV cure research strategy, to clinical trials.
Early in the AIDS epidemic, Dr. Hardy completed a fellowship in infectious diseases/clinical immunology at the UCLA School of Medicine, mentored by Michael Gottlieb, MD, also a long-time friend to ARA, and the physician who first identified and reported AIDS as a new disease. Fifteen years later, Dr. Hardy returned to UCLA and completed post-doctoral training in HIV laboratory research with Irvin Chen, PhD at the UCLA School of Medicine. Since completing his medical training, Dr. Hardy has devoted his entire career to HIV/AIDS research and treatment.
"I have known, respected, and supported AIDS Research Alliance for over 20 years," said Dr. Hardy. "I was involved with the organization back in the late 1980s as part of its Medical Advisory Committee. Joining the Board and assuming the role of Chairman is an enhancement of my involvement. It provides me with a way to help support what I consider the greatest challenge in HIV research: Curing HIV"
Dr. Hardy will succeed Cary Stevens, who chaired the Board for the previous six years. Under Mr. Stevens' leadership, ARA weathered the Great Recession, the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. He also oversaw ARA's relocation from West Hollywood to Metro Los Angeles, the new ground zero for the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
"Cary Stevens worked tirelessly as the Board Chairman, leading AIDS Research Alliance through some very challenging times," explained ARA CEO Carolyn Carlburg. "Without his leadership, generosity and foresight, ARA may not have made it through our relocation, which required extensive financial and logistical planning."
"We are very pleased that Cary will remain on our Board, and we look forward to working with Dr. Hardy as ARA charts a future that involves crafting a new strategic plan, advancing our cure research targeting the HIV reservoirs, and finding ever new ways to fund our important work."
Meet the rest of ARA's Board of Directors.

Find our top 7 picks for the best American cookbooks of the past 25 years.
One Big Table
One Big Table By Molly O'Neill, Simon & Schuster, 2010. Hardcover. $50; 864 pages
Most recipes in this opus are named after a single person from a singular place: Meryam's Preserved Lemons (Astoria, N.Y.); William Fiorino's Modiga Steak with Peppermint Sauce (St. Louis). The book is deeply impressive, an ode to heirloom recipes and the passing of food traditions across cultural boundaries. Replete with tidbits (concerning the origin of the doughnut hole, for example), the book is packed with nostalgia and history but reads as a testament to our culinary future. We've come this far, O'Neill seems to say: Stay tuned!
GIVE THIS TO: Anyone hungry for food history and folkways. —Sidney Fry
