Le Guin talks to Michael Cunningham about genres, gender, and broadening fiction Andy Hunter August 7, 2014 Conversations, Conversations 33 Comments To celebrate this fantastic conversation between Hugo-and-Nebula award winner Ursula K. Le Guin and Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Cunningham about writing, freedom, and defying the limitations of genre, Diversion Books are offering Electric Literature readers the eBook of LeGuin's genre-busting novel The Lathe of Heaven for just $3.99: "The Lathe of Heaven" by Ursula K. Le Guin on Ganxy Michael Cunningham: Writers are always, pretty much by definition, writing within a historical period, though that period may not acquire a name until later. I don't believe the Victorians thought of themselves as the Victorians. OK, the Modernists thought of themselves as Modernists, but still… I wonder sometimes what period we're in, in 2014. I personally don't find "post-modernism" very satisfying. Although I don't have a name for it—I'll trust history to provide that—I feel like the most prominent aspect of this period is what I suppose I'll call "broadening." Broadening in the sense of a much larger collective conviction about who's entitled to tell stories, what stories are worth telling, and who among the storytellers gets taken seriously. I think of "broadening" not only in terms of race and gender, but in terms of what has long been labeled "genre" fiction. I believe that some of the most innovative, deep, and beautiful fiction being written today is shelved in bookstores in the Science Fiction section. I believe that some of the most innovative, deep, and beautiful fiction being written today is shelved in bookstores in the Science Fiction section. That that section probably contains more fascinating books than does the… what to call it?… mainstream fiction section… Could you talk about that? About the breaking-down of the barriers between "genre" books and the books that are generally piled on the front tables at Barnes & Noble? This is especially important to me, in that I'm always trying to talk readers into venturing into genre fiction, and still encounter a surprising degree of resistance. The line, "I don't read science fiction" emanates from a surprising number of well-educated, erudite mouths. Ursula K. Le Guin: Well, you've said much of what I'd have said, and I'm delighted to hear it said by a writer whose fame is not within a "genre" but in what is still called literary fiction. And that, of course, is the lingering problem: The maintenance of an arbitrary division between "literature" and "genre," the refusal to admit that every piece of fiction belongs to a genre, or several of genres. There are very real differences between science fiction and realistic fiction, between horror and fantasy, between romance and mystery. Differences in writing them, in reading them, in criticizing them. Vive les différences! They're what gives each genre its singular flavor and savor, its particular interest for the reader—and the writer. But when the characteristics of a genre are controlled, systematized, and insisted upon by publishers, or editors, or critics, they become limitations rather than possibilities. Salability, repeatability, expectability replace quality. A literary form degenerates into a formula. Hack writers get into the baloney factory production line, Hollywood devours and regurgitates the baloney, and the genre soon is judged by its lowest common denominator…. And we have the situation as it was from the 1940's to the turn of the century: "genre" used not as a useful descriptor, but as a negative judgment, a dismissal. "The genres" were ignored altogether and realistic fiction alone was left as literature, in the minds of the men who controlled criticism and teaching. Realism is of course a tremendous and wonderfully capacious literary genre, and it has dominated fiction since 1800 or before. But dominance isn't the same thing as superiority. Fantasy is at least as immense as realism and much older—essentially coeval with literature itself. Yet fantasy was relegated for fifty years or sixty years to the nursery. I love to remember Edmund Wilson, king of the realist bigots, squealing "Ooh those awful Orcs!" and believing he'd made a witty and cogent critical point These days, I love to remember Edmund Wilson, king of the realist bigots, squealing "Ooh those awful Orcs!" and believing he'd made a witty and cogent critical point. As you see, I bear some resentment and some scars from the years of anti-genre bigotry. My own fiction, which moves freely around among realism, magical realism, science fiction, fantasy of various kinds, historical fiction, young adult fiction, parable, and other subgenres, to the point where much of it is ungenrifiable, all got shoved into the Sci Fi wastebasket or labeled as kiddilit—subliterature. And the labels stick. As you say, a lot of people still maintain genre prejudice. I still meet matrons who tell me kindly that their children enjoyed my books but of course they never read them, and people who make sure I know they don't read that space-ship stuff. No, no, they read Literature—realism. Like The Help, or Fifty Shades of Grey. But the walls I hammered at so long are down. They're rubble. I like your term, "broadening," for what's going on. I agree that "postmodern" is a truly flabby word. But I guess I don't really want a label for the new place we're in. Labels turn into cages. I love to see people like Michael Chabon and Kij Johnson and David Mitchell and Jo Walton—and above all, old José Saramago!—waltzing around the literary landscape, freely using fragments of genres to build up their beautiful stories, finding unclassifiable forms for irresistible narratives. And to see the literary reputation of great nonrealists like Jorge Luis Borges and Italo Calvino holding steady or rising—along with the status of the Author of the Awful Orcs, and some obscure writers of that space-ship stuff, such as my Berkeley High School classmate, Philip K. Dick. Vive la Révolution! MC: It's been written of Samuel R. Delany's work that, "By imagining a new gender and resultant sexual orientation, the story allows readers to reflect on the real world while maintaining an estranging distance." The story in question was, "Aye, and Gomorrah," but it could be said of other work by Delany, and certainly of some of your own work, very much including The Left Hand of Darkness. You needn't focus specifically on the advantages of claiming the right, in fiction, to re-imagine genders, though that would of course be interesting. You could also talk a bit, if you like, about other freedoms offered when a writer releases herself/himself from what I suppose I'll call the "natural" world—that is, from the planet Earth, its denizens and conventions. UKLG: I think Delaney was using Darko Suvin's very useful concept of "cognitive estrangement" for what is perhaps the characteristic gesture of science fiction: Giving the reader a new place from which to look at the old world. Or, as Suvin said, a mirror in which you can see the back of your own head. Stendhal, that dour realist, boasted that his novels were "a mirror at the side of the road" reflecting reality. But such a mirror can't show you the world or yourself from a viewpoint you never saw it from before, as science fiction does. The thing to remember, however exotic or futuristic or alien the mirror seems, is that you are in fact looking at your world and yourself. Serious science fiction is just as much about the real world and human beings as realistic novels are. (Sometimes more so, I think when faced with yet another dreary story about a dysfunctional upper middle class East Coast urban family.) After all, the imagination can only take apart reality and recombine it. We aren't God, our word isn't the world. But our minds can learn a lot about the world by playing with it, and the imagination finds an infinite playing field in fiction. Serious science fiction is just as much about the real world and human beings as realistic novels are. Along in the sixties it became important to a lot of us, especially women and gays, to try to get a better idea what exactly "gender" consisted of. "Him Tarzan, Me Jane" no longer seemed quite adequate. The science-fiction mirror offered itself to me (and Theodore Sturgeon, and Samuel R. Delaney, Vonda McIntyre, Joanna Russ, and many others) as a great way to get a different angle on the whole thing. Cognitive estrangement can help you develop new cognitions, wider understanding. And that, as you say, offers a writer a desirable freedom. To me, though, it's not a release or escape from our world. My world is all I have to make my stories from, my people are the only people I know. But by making up worlds and peoples, I can recombine and play with what we have and are, can ask what if it were like this instead of like this—What if nobody had a fixed gender, as on the planet Gethen? What if marriages, instead of two people and one couple, consisted of four people and four homo- and heterosexual couples, as they do on the planet O? If nobody in a world had ever waged war, how would people and daily life in that world differ from ours, and in what ways? Much of my science fiction is, in this sense, anthropological. My father was an ethnologist, who learned from the Indians of California that California could be inhabited in a very different way from how we inhabit it—many different ways. I send imaginary people to imaginary planets to learn other ways in which we might inhabit our own. I feel some urgency in obtaining this information, since we're inhabiting our planet in an increasingly destructive and unwise way. MC: Are the distinctions between science fiction, speculative fiction, and fantasy still interesting to you? I've read interviews in which you discussed them in the past, and would be glad to have you comment on your current thinking in that area, unless of course you're no longer particularly concerned about it. UKLG: That is in fact the case, Michael. I felt obliged for so many years to protest, to rant about those distinctions—genuine and useful ones—being misused as value-judgments. Now the judgmentalism is dropping out of them, and that's great. I don't have to worry, I don't have to rant. Whew! MC: I teach an undergraduate course called Reading Fiction for Craft, and your short story, "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas," has been on the syllabus from the beginning. My students and I discuss that story relatively early in the semester, during a class meeting I call "The Rules." I remind them throughout the semester that there are no rules, there are at best a few general principles that seem to work, for fiction writers, some of the time. And, okay, sometimes to work more often than not. Your story is offered to them as an example of just how far a writer can stray from even the general principles, and still produce a remarkable, absorbing, moving story. I hope you won't mind my telling you that "The Ones Who Walk" is one of the few stories that's always a huge hit, with every student, every semester. We discuss many aspects of that story, prominent among them its disregard of what I suppose I'll call "writerly good behavior." You address the reader directly. You remind the reader that a story is an invention, and that the writer is usually trying to figure out what will be most effective to readers, although that effort is "supposed" to be concealed. You eschew central characters. And the story presents a genuine moral dilemma, a more or less insoluble one, in a medium in which writers are "supposed to" remain at least outwardly neutral, philosophically and politically. Or, rather, to be subvertly philosophical and political; to conceal the thinking under the characters and events. Would you talk about that story? About how you arrived at it, how you developed it, whether you had doubts about its unorthodoxy after you'd finished it? UKLG: Honestly, orthodoxy concerns me about as much as it concerns your average jackrabbit. I only follow rules that take me where I want to go. If there aren't any rules, I make up my own (and follow them strictly). Honestly, orthodoxy concerns me about as much as it concerns your average jackrabbit. I only follow rules that take me where I want to go. The two books I really worried about being too far outside critical and reader expectation were The Left Hand of Darkness (I was totally wrong, it flew from the start) and Lavinia (I was partly right, alas, but it seems to be finding its readers.) But I don't remember worrying about Omelas. While writing it I thoroughly enjoyed defying all the conventions, dancing little metafictional jigs on the grave of the Self-Concealed Writer. I sent it to my then agent, Virginia Kidd, who could have sold Das Kapital to a Texas Tea Party Congressman. She sold it right off and it's been reprinted steadily ever since. Teachers in all kinds of fields—literature, philosophy, sociology, economics—use it as a discussion-starter. It poses a frightening moral question (which William James and Dostoyevsky both asked, and which is directly relevant to our society) and offers no direct resolution. This makes some students so angry and unhappy and unsatisfied that they want to complain about it, and then other students want to explain it to them. . . . "Writerly good behavior" is a nice phrase. It makes me think about when I was an entering freshwoman at Radcliffe College (now subsumed in Harvard) in 1947. The President of the College paternally informed us girls that we were there to learn gracious living. Yeah. Uhhuh. A bunch of crazy, graceless, passionate, adolescent female intellectuals ravenous to learn everything Harvard would teach us—and we were there to learn good behavior? Ladylikeness? How set a pretty table and pour tea? Fortunately, Harvard gave us a superb education, which equipped some of us, at least, to begin to learn how and when to overturn the table and the tea urn. And why. MC: Is there any question you wish an interviewer would ask, and hasn't yet? UKLG: I don't think anyone has asked me about the relative importance of human beings and nonhuman beings in my fiction and poetry. For instance, the rather large place animals and trees occupy in my writing. Novels consist of human relationships, but I often extend those relationships to include other creatures, including forests, dragons, and rats. My poetry has a lot of geology in it—rocks. I seem to move easily out of the human-centered universe. Maybe I enjoy escaping from it? I don't know… Thank you, Michael Cunningham and Electric Literature, I have enjoyed this conversation.

Pai: Spectrum auction yields will fall short
The auctions the Federal Communications Commission plans to hold to repurpose broadcast television spectrum licenses for wireless usage won't yield the revenue they're supposed to as currently designed, FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai said at a Dec. 12 House hearing.
In its September proposal, the FCC outlined how broadcasters would sell their spectrum in a reverse auction, and the government would then offer it to wireless carriers in a forward auction. The auctions are supposed to also generate revenue for the government to build a public safety network, known as FirstNet and, and to reduce the federal deficit. But, Pai said, under the proposed design, the revenue from the forward auction would only have to match the cost of the reverse auction, meaning there could be nothing left over.
Pai, an Obama administration-nominated Republican commissioner, spoke at a hearing of the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on communications and technology. The combination of the reverse and forward auctions is inherently complicated and participants on both ends may be reluctant to bid if they don't feel confident in their strategy, he said.
Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.), the subcommittee chairman, expressed skepticism that the FCC couldn't auction more of the spectrum it plans to set aside for guard bands, unlicensed swaths of spectrum meant to minimize cross-license interference.
In response, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said that the FCC's engineers used their expertise to decide the size of the bands, though the commission will take into account the comments it receives about the guard bands before it finalizes the auctions.
But, he added, the laws of physics only allow for so much tinkering, and the reality of interference will remain a factor.
Additionally, the guard bands will be available for unlicensed use, the type of spectrum that Wi-Fi emerged from. That innovation was unexpected, and Genachowski said he anticipates other major innovations on unlicensed spectrum that could produce hundreds of billions of dollars in economic value, plus related tax revenue.
The country will only benefit from that innovation if its licensed and unlicensed spectrum infrastructure is competitive with that of other countries, he also said.

This care includes preventative measures, the detection of abnormal conditions in mother and child, the procurement of medical assistance and the execution of emergency measures in the absence of medical help. She has an important task in health counselling and education, not only for the women, but also within the family and the community. The work work should involve antenatal education and preparation for parenthood and extends to certain areas of gynaecology, family planning and child care. She may practise in hospitals, clinics, health units, domiciliary conditions or in any other service.

Bonspiel results.
Ask any experienced curler to name their favorite aspect of the sport and they'll probably reply, "Bonspiels." Whether it's a social event or a competitive spiel with cash on the line, they bring out the best aspects of this beautiful game. If you're a new curler who hasn't been to a bonspiel yet and you'd like to play in one, make sure the experienced players at our club know you're interested. Every event has its own flavor and personality but all serve to remind us that the curling community is a rich one.
I'm going to be posting the results of PCC curlers on this site throughout the year. If you play in a bonspiel that's not in our club, send me an email and tell me how you did once you get back.
Here are some of the pre-Thanksgiving activities of our fellow club members.
Jason Valetutto and his rink of Mark Mooney, Brady Gould and Aaron Dubberley won the Fifth Event at The Achilles in Schenecatady. Bill Peskoff also played in this bonspiel as a member of the Scott Edie rink. Bill's seniors team, also with Scott Edie skipping, won the Inaugural Bonspiel at Potomac in mid-October.
Some of our junior curlers were in a bonspiel at Broomstones in Wayland, MA in mid-November. Thomas Howell, playing with Korey Dropkin, Andrew Glaser and David Wadsworth of Broomstones, won the First Event. The team of Brandon Folkes, Jeremy Ringler, Cameron Ross and Matt Ryklin — all from PCC — was runner-up in the Second Event. The PCC junior girls — Brandi Arsenault, Erica Seng, Julie Greenebaum and Rebecca Turlip — were eliminated in the second round of the Second Event.
Nina Reiniger is playing second on five-time U.S. Champion Erika Brown's team this season. They've had a terrific season on the Asham World Curling Tour, winning $10,000 and climbing to the #16 ranking. They qualified (in cash spiel lingo, that means they made the playoffs and won some money) at the Southwestern Ontario Women's Charity Cashspiel in London, losing 7-5 in the semi-finals to last year's world runner-up, Bingyu Wang of China. They had a hiccup in Duluth where they failed to qualify before qualifying again in the semi-finals of the very competitive Sun Life Financial event in Brantford, Ontario. In that one, they lost in the semi-final to eventual champ Marie-France Larouche of Quebec. Based on this year's World Curling Tour results, they are currently the top team in the United States.
At The Harvest in Philadelphia, John DeJong and his team of Karen DeJong, Peter DeJong (Ardsley) and Elizabeth DeJong won the Third Event. Bob Fox and his team of Andrea Stepnosky, Paul Graebener and Louisa Bartok, playing under the LBI banner, finished runner-up in the Second Event. PCC members Robin Kerr and Sue Lindsay were part of a team that won the Fourth Event.
Finally, I'm part of a team that qualified and lost in the semi-finals at the Money Concepts Skins in Ottawa in November. It's an Ontario Curling Tour event. Our team has Matt Hames of Buffalo at skip, former PCC member Matt Mielke at third, Ardsley's Bill Stopera at second and yours truly at lead.

Monumental tributes to pop culture icons
A celebrated six-some from popular culture, some immortalized in bronze, one fixed in fiberglass, remind us that our country is full of wonderful surprises, if you know where to look.
Orville Redenbacher
Central Park Plaza
Valparaiso, Indiana
Orville Clarence Redenbacher, a Purdue University alumnus, developed his famous popcorn in Valparaiso, Indiana. It's no surprise, then, that a bronze likeness popped up in the town's Central Park Plaza in 2012. Orville (the statue) and gathered dignitaries all wore red bow-ties to the unveiling.
The popcorn king's approachable likeness sits at the end of a black steel bench. His broad, toothy grin, and casual cross-legged pose invites visitors to take a seat beside him.
Sculptor Lou Cella captured the wavy, center-parted hair and familiar horn-rimmed glasses, as well as the red bow-tie and suspenders that Redenbacher always wore in ads and on the label of his popcorn.
But Cella had other reference material to work from. Redenbacher's daughter provided clips of TV commercials and Hee Haw segments, including valuable outtakes.
"Because Redenbacher turned his back to the cameras when he made mistakes, I was able to see the back of his head, which isn't normal when your subject isn't alive and you're working from photos,"Cella recalls.
"My most difficult task was matching Redenbacher's glasses. To get the correct size, I blew up photos and shopped for lookalikes. The sculpture was great fun to work on; he had a terrific face," says Cella.
The Redenbacher statue has a Twitter account (@orvillestatue), with 700+ followers.
Colonel Sanders/Pete Harman
World's first Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise
Salt Lake City, Utah
You might expect to see a statue of the dapper, white-haired gentleman known as Colonel Sanders in Kentucky. After all, Harland Sanders, famous for his secret fried chicken recipe, made with 11 spices, was a Kentuckian. But it was a chance meeting with Leon W. "Pete" Harman, a Salt Lake City restaurateur, at a 1951 restaurant convention that started a mighty big piece of "finger-lickin' good" history.
And so "The Gentlemen's Handshake," a life-size bronze of the pair, stands outside Harman's Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) in Salt Lake City, Utah, the world's first KFC franchise. The sculpture depicts the duo's agreement that closed with a handshake and launched something of a chicken empire.
Sculptor Stan Watts posed the pair in matching outfits —the legendary white suit and black string bow-tie, though Harman wears a single-breasted version. Supported by his trademark cane, Sanders' free hand rests on Harman's shoulder.
Harman sat for Watts, but the sculptor never met the already-deceased Sanders. Still, Watts has vivid childhood memories of the larger-than-life man, who often visited Salt Lake City, and rode in its annual Days of '47 parade.
"Because he looked exactly like his photos, I didn't think he was real — until he would wave his hand," Watts recalls.
Harman's original KFC restaurant building was demolished in 2004 and replaced by a new restaurant/museum. Artifacts include one of Sanders' suits and an early pressure cooker.
Jolly Green Giant
Green Giant Statue Park
Blue Earth, Minnesota
Ho-Ho-Ho! After Ronald McDonald and the Marlboro Man, the Jolly Green Giant is the third-most recognized advertising icon of the 20th century, according to Advertising Age magazine. The Giant, who first appeared in advertising as the face of Minnesota Valley Canning Company in 1928, proved so popular that, in the 1950s, the company renamed itself Green Giant.
In 1978, with I-90 under construction and set to bypass Blue Earth, local radio station owner Paul Hedberg suggested building a monumental, "what-in-the-heck-is that?" Green Giant statue right off the interstate that would lure drivers into town. He raised enough money to erect the statue, just in time for the interstate's 1979 dedication.
At 55.5 feet tall, the toga-sheathed fiberglass trademark appears to have thrived on vegetables, as he surveys some of America's richest farmland from atop a lofty pedestal. The Giant attracts 10,000 visitors annually, many garbed in "Giant" costumes. Climb the pedestal's stairs for a photo-op beneath the statue and take a gander at those size-78 elf boots.
Yoda & Indiana Jones
Imagination Park
San Anselmo, California
It would be hard to find two more beloved movie franchises than Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Two characters from those films are now permanently receiving fan adulation in San Anselmo, California.
The man behind the movies, producer George Lucas, unveiled sculptor Lawrence Noble's depictions of Yoda, the Jedi master, remembered for his delightfully off-kilter speech pattern, and the heroic Indiana Jones at the opening of Imagination Park, in June 2013. The two icons are positioned near each other, but not together.
Lucas conceived both blockbuster films at his home near San Anselmo and donated the land for the park. Sculptor Lawrence Noble worked for Lucasfilms when The Empire Strikes Back came out in 1980. Enamored by Yoda at the time, he made a small clay sculpture of him, never dreaming that one day he'd be tapped to do a life-size statue.
Posed with hands folded across his gimer stick cane, Yoda gazes toward San Anselmo Town Hall from the top tier of the park's centerpiece basalt-boulder fountain. Noble says that he hoped to capture "the wise kind of mind that brought us all those ideas about the Force."
Harrison Ford, as Indiana Jones, is on the tier below, overlooking the park's lawn.
"To me, Indy is a person who looks at the world in a particular way," says Noble. "His pose depicts that iconic silhouette of a person who's ready for whatever life throws at him."


text: There is an issue with the NumPy 1.7 release that we all need to understand. Doesn't including the missing-data attributes in the NumPy structure in a released version of NumPy basically commit to including those attributes in NumPy 1.8? I'm not comfortable with that, is everyone else? One possibility is to move those attributes to a C-level sub-class of NumPy. I have heard from a few people that they are not excited by the growth of the NumPy data-structure by the 3 pointers needed to hold the masked-array storage. This is especially true when there is talk to potentially add additional attributes to the NumPy array (for labels and other meta-information). If you are willing to let us know how you feel about this, please speak up. Mark Wiebe will be in Austin for about 3 months. He and I will be hashing some of this out in the first week or two. We will present any proposal and ask questions to this list before acting. We will be using some phone calls and face-to-face communications to increase the bandwidth and speed of the conversations (not to exclude anyone). If you would like to be part of the in-person discussions let me know -- or just make your views known here --- they will be taken seriously. The goal is consensus for any major change in NumPy. If we can't get consensus, then we vote on this list and use a super-majority. If we can't get a super-majority, then except in rare circumstances we can't move forward. Heavy users of NumPy get higher voting privileges. My perspective is that we don't have consensus on the current additions to the NumPy data-structure to have the current additional attributes on the NumPy data-structure be included for long-term release.

I just installed WPBook in a vain (as in "in vain") effort to allow my Facebook friends to continue to read my blog.
My blog posts are now forwarded to my Facebook Wall.
I used Wordbook for about a year but it recently broke :-(. I'm sure the Facebook people don't like this functionality because it sucks people away from their one-website-internet plan. So we'll see how long WPBook lasts!
In the continuing effort to fight comment spam, I installed the Bad Behavior plugin on the blog. If this accidentally stops your legitimate comment, please email me at Lee at Lee dat org.

Infinite Scroll looks like a fun plugin. It almost worked perfectly right out of the box (see my note about WP-FancyZoom). I found it on the Balsaman blog.
Just scroll down to the bottom of the page and the next page should load up automatically. :-)
To make the WP FancyZoom WordPress Plugin work well with Infinite Scroll, I figured out that I have to add the following to the "Javascript to be called" section:
Please tell me what you think of this change!
I've been using the NoSpamNX anti comment spam plugin for the last few months. It works very well. The best part is that it reduces the number of comment spams in my Akismet spam folder so dramatically that I'm able to look through the folder and rescue false positives.
Take a look at the image below. Spam comments are down from 300/day to 5/day. And now I rescue the occasional false positive.
Of course, as it becomes more popular, spammers will adapt. But it's worked well for several months. I have noted that the Akismet chart above doesn't track the number of false positives correctly. I've rescued more than the number of false positives that the chart claims.

Macedonia complicit in CIA torture, unlawful detention, European court says
Macedonia shares responsibility for the torture and unlawful detention of a German man the country turned over to the CIA in a case of mistaken identity, the the European Court of Human Rights ruled Dec. 13.
Khaled el-Masri was traveling to Macedonia in 2003 for vacation; when his bus arrived at the Serbia-Macedonia border, Macedonian authorities mistook him for an al Qaeda suspect and detained him for 23 days. They then passed him over to a CIA team that beat and brutalized him, treatment that the court says (.pdf) "amounted to torture."
The CIA then flew him to Afghanistan, where he was unlawfully detained for 4 months.
"Although the investigation of terrorist offences undoubtedly presents the authorities with special problems, that does not mean that the authorities have carte blanche...to arrest suspects and detain them in police custody, free from effective control by the domestic courts," the ruling says.
It also says the Macedonian authorities knew or should have known what kind of treatment el-Masri would endure in CIA custody. The authorities knew the CIA would take him to Afghanistan, the court says.
Macedonia must pay el-Masri €60,000, about $78,000, in damages.
This was the first time a court had ruled in favor of el-Masri, according to The New York Times.
The American Civil Liberties Union says the decision "is a stark reminder of America's utter failure to hold its officials accountable for serious violations of both U.S. and international law."
The ACLU previously filed a lawsuit on el-Masri's behalf that a federal judge dismissed in 2006 after the Bush administration argued that it would jeopardize state secrets.
The European Court of Human Rights ruling says that "the concept of 'State secrets' has often been invoked to obstruct the search for the truth" and that governments must investigate human rights allegations to maintain public confidence that the rule of law is in force.

-stated in the first few mins, the video is for recreational cyclists and doesn't apply to racing
-then proceeds to compare high end racing bikes to recreational cyclist needs
major fallacy right there, pulling examples from outside the stated context/pretence
no, I'm not sitting thru 30 mins more when there's already an obvious issue with the argument

That is the point. 99 percent of the people out there spending their HARD earned money on bikes and equipment don't need most of what is thrown at them just because some weight weenie roadie salesman says so. Nuf Said.

A rider that does 4000 miles per year, and a 17 mph average, rides 235 hours per year. After 4 years, that's 940 hours. So, writing off the whole cost of a $6000 bike in just 4 years, it's costing $6.38 per hour. Is that worth it to you? Go buy the bike. If not, keep riding your other bike.
Are there posts on car forums about not needing the $5000 package of leather seats, fancy wheels, upgraded sound system, and LED headlights?

Get the same in Korea. Somehow to be 'serious' you must have a 5000 dollar bike. I disagree. Past 1500-2000 the differences aren't worth it.
Who said purchases are - or should be - purely about "need" anyway?
For some reason this reminds me of the high cost of an education and the increasing divide between the haves and the have nots...
"We are privileged simply because we can afford to be privileged"..."Let them eat cake..."
Oh boy, here we go again!
It's true, bicycles come in a price range that's enormously wide. Everybody gets to choose where in that price range they are comfortable. What I don't get are the skoffers who feel the need to criticize others for their bike price range choice as being either too high or too low. I'd think that if you were really comfortable with your own choice you wouldn't feel compelled to do that.
My greatest fear is all of my kids standing around my coffin and talking about "how sensible" dad was.
Sure, we would all like to have the best bike at the top of the line, just like we'd all prefer to eat steak and drink Mango juice, as opposed to just bread and water. The problem lies in the fact that thus far, humans have proven themselves to be far too ignorant, greedy, and corrupt, to address the essential needs of the world's human problems.
It's still a dog eat dog world, where only a minority will thrive.

Class Envy?
Just because the pros ride a $10K bike doesn't mean you have to .. just like there is a VW and a Porsche, car buyer ..
My first bike was a $99 Huffy [admittedly I was younger].
My second bike was a ~$400 Trek Hybrid that I still ride and love.
Looking at maybe getting a cyclocross or a higher end hybrid mostly for the upgraded brakes/wheels/frame but it's certainly not necessary - I will get by just fine on my Trek I have now but I have some money and I really like the way the newer bikes look and the upgraded brakes are a big one for me - the rest is just nice to have.
If you think a bike is too expensive the solution is simple -> don't buy it .
Please, no one say they actually watched that whole video? I gave it 5minutes-- mostly because I got distracted picking my toes for a moment-- but nonetheless, 5 minutes, and now I'm angry about it. That narrator was a bore and a nerd. Very unappealing and uninteresting, and I'll tell you what, I'd spend thousands on bike just to be sure no one confuses me with a loser like that.

Gender Expression Policy
Source: Gay & Lesbian Fund for Colorado.
What is gender expression?
"Gender expression" refers to the ways in which we each manifest masculinity or femininity. It is usually an extension of our "gender identity," our innate sense of being male or female. Each of us expresses a particular gender every day – by the way we style our hair, select our clothing, or even the way we stand. Our appearance, speech, behavior, movement, and other factors signal that we feel – and wish to be understood – as masculine or feminine, or as a man or a woman.
For some of us, our gender expression may not match our biological sex. That is, while other people see us as being male or female, we may or may not fit their expectations of masculinity or femininity because of the way we look, act, or dress.
People whose gender expression is not what we might expect represent many different backgrounds – their age, sex, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation has no bearing on their gender expression.
Why do employees need our help?
Employees who express gender outside of societal stereotypes struggle with a number of conflicting decisions at work on a daily basis: which restroom to use, which uniform to wear, when, how, or even whether to inform employers that they are transgender. Additionally, they face verbal abuse, such as name-calling and taunting; denials of promotions; punishment for expressing a gender identity outside an employer's expectation; requirements to wear the uniform of their non-preferred gender; and in rare cases, physical abuse by co-workers. Also, despite legislation in many states designed to protect employees from such harassment, only six of the thirty-one Employment Nondiscrimination Acts (ENDAs) currently in place include gender expression and a few ENDAs allow certain types of employer's exemptions from the law.

Hell's Kitchen Talent Gets Married
August 04, 2008 10:00 AM by Christine McDow
Well she came in third during the last season of Hell's Kitchen, Corey Earling is number one to her new husband Carlos.
Three weeks ago the bride and her true love exchanged vows in Maryland in a beautiful outdoor wedding on a local estate with the ocean in the background.
The happy couple met a year ago, at a restaraunt of course(!), and as Corey told us, "The rest is history." The couple love to travel and plan on heading to South America in the next year which is where Carlos was raised. Other than that their only plans are to enjoy wedded bliss and to live happily ever after…hopefully, while Corey continues to make fabulous meals.
Congratulations Corey and Carlos from Reality TV Magazine! We hope that you have at least 50 glorious years together.

Attorney General Patrick Morrisey Alerts Students To Be Cautious When Opening Credit Accounts
Attorney General Patrick Morrisey Alerts Students To Be Cautious When Opening Credit Accounts
Page Content
CHARLESTON — Attorney General Patrick Morrisey is urging students to be vigilant about protecting their personal information when signing up for credit and debit cards as they return to school.
Every year, hundreds of consumers apply for and receive new debit or credit cards. Paying with a credit or debit card is convenient and has become second nature to many consumers. However, the resulting credit card debt can become a problem, and that type of debt is growing fastest among young adult consumers.
"Many students will start college with at least one credit or debit card in their wallet," Attorney General Morrisey said. "We encourage students to read the fine print and remain cautious when using their cards. It's also important to not simply sign up for a credit card because the company is offering you a free gift for enrolling."
Students should research the bank or company offering the card to ensure it is reputable. Before enrolling, consumers also should make sure they understand the rates and fees associated with the card, including whether fees are imposed if no purchases are made. Additionally, students should keep their credit card information secure to protect themselves from scammers.
"Young consumers should spend the next few years enjoying college and focusing on their education," Morrisey said. "Students should remain cautious when using their cards so they do not have to worry about credit card debt the rest of their lives."
If you believe you have been involved in a credit card scam, please call the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division at 800-368-8808 or go online to

Saw this link on velonews' tour coverage-
Marcus Burghardt nails a dog that ran on to the course. Nothing like a few days of bad luck after a stage win to knock a team down a few pegs! T-Mobile isn't getting any breaks...
BTW - looks like the dog is ok. Look at how that wheel breaks...insanity.
edit: mods, I didn't post this fast enough...someone already linked to it in the Stage 9 discussion thread. Sorry!
