Getting around the West Coast
The wild beauty of the West Coast is something every visitor to New Zealand should experience.
With everything from majestic mountain peaks to powerful surf beaches, lush native forest and gushing waterfalls, a journey along this remote part of the South Island is well worth the time.
Whether you're travelling north from Queenstown or south from Nelson, a trip along the West Coast takes in amazing sights and fascinating history.
Crossing the Southern Alps
Once you've travelled through the Haast Pass inside Mt Aspiring National Park, you're officially on the West Coast. Gone are the grassy plains and tranquil lakes of the Queenstown and Otago region. Now you're in a splendidly isolated world of dense native bush. The road follows the Haast River down to the sea and skirts the rocky coastline before returning inland.
Ancient Glaciers
This part of the West Coast is glacier country, home to two of the most accessible glaciers in the world: Fox Glacier and, further north, Franz Josef. Both offer the chance to hike on the glacier, with tours starting from the terminal face or heli-hiking options. Alternatively, choose a scenic glacier flight and soar above the Southern Alps for an awe-inspiring perspective of these ancient frozen rivers.
Not far from Franz Josef is the turn-off to Okarito, where nature lovers will find a lagoon with rare native birds. Take an Okarito nature tour and you might spot the Kotuku or white heron or even the rowi, the rarest of all New Zealand's kiwi species.
The Gold Rush
From here the road returns to the coast and enters gold rush territory. The township of Hokitika was first settled by Europeans in 1864 and is full of interesting historic spots. Today it's best known for its annual wild food festival.
Similarly, Greymouth was a gold mining town. It's also a great place to pick up a pounamu (jade or greenstone) carving. Māori tradition holds that it's bad luck to purchase pounamu yourself, so buy one as a gift or make sure someone else can get yours for you. Greymouth is also one end of the famous TranzAlpine scenic railway, which passes through the Southern Alps in a series of tunnels and high bridges, descending down through the tussocky Canterbury Plains to Christchurch on the other side.
Spectacular coastlines
Lonely Planet has named the Great Coast Road between Greymouth and Westport has been named one of the Top 10 Coastal Drives in the world. It passes through Barrytown (known for knife-making specialists) and one of New Zealand's most famous sights – the Pancake Rocks at Punakaiki.
Just south of the village of Punakaiki, the Pancake Rocks are a group of amazing limestone formations that the sea has eroded. The 'pancakes' are formed by different layers of sediment. Blowholes boom and burst through the rocks and the overall effect is wild and wondrous. The area has stairways and wheelchair-accessible paths so you can explore to your heart's content.
Towards the top of the West Coast, visit the town of Westport, at the mouth of the Buller River. While in Westport, try your hand at surfing the wild West Coast waves, visit the Denniston coal mine for a historic experience, or visit nearby Cape Foulwind, where a short walkway leads to a large fur seal colony at Tauranga Bay.
The end of the road
Further north, the Karamea Bight leads up to the top of the South Island, but State Highway 6 curves inland from Westport, bidding farewell to this unique part of New Zealand. From here, you'll travel through the Buller Gorge, with Kahurangi National Park on one side and Nelson Lakes National Park on the other, emerging in sunny Nelson.
InterCity operates daily buses along the West Coast in comfortable air-conditioned vehicles with free Wi-Fi. Along the way your driver guide will provide full commentary about the local history, geography and wildlife. Visit intercity.co.nz to book online.

Dynamic Symbolic Execution for Software AnalysisZeit: Thu 6.12.2018, 15:00, 90 Minuten
Ort: S3 218
ZusammenfassungSymbolic execution is a program analysis technique that can automatically explore and analyse paths through a program. While symbolic execution was initially introduced in the seventies, it has only received significant attention during the last decade, due to tremendous advances in constraint solving technology and effective blending of symbolic and concrete execution into what is often called dynamic symbolic execution. Dynamic symbolic execution is now a key ingredient in many computer science areas, such as software engineering, computer security, and software systems, to name just a few. In this talk, I will discuss recent advances and ongoing challenges in the area of dynamic symbolic execution, drawing upon our experience developing several symbolic execution tools for many different scenarios, such as high-coverage test input generation, bug and security vulnerability detection, patch testing and bounded verification, among many others.

AHL Game Night: 3-2-12 Falcons at Admirals
Dustin Tokarski allowed 2 goals on 21 shots for his 26th victory of the season. He's now 1 back of his career high of 27 wins. He remains locked in mortal combat with Ben Bishop of Binghamton, who also has 26 wins.
First Period
NOR Ouellet, (12) (Kostka, Devos), 12:13 (PP)
Second Period
NOR Angelidis, (13) (Picard, Ouellet), 4:15
NOR Ouellet, (13) (Panik, Johnson), 12:48 (PP)

SPR MacLeod, (6) (St. Pierre, Regner), 17:14 (PP)
NOR Devos, (5) (Neilson, Barberio), 18:52 (PP)
Michel Ouellet (pictured circa back-in-the-day), Alexandre Picard, and Mike Angelidis were the game's three stars.
Mark Barberio hit 50 points for the season with a late power play assist. He holds a 9 point edge on Brian Connolly of Abbotsford for the league lead amongst blueliners. With 33 points, Mike Kostka lurks in a tie for 5th in points in that category.
Jon Cooper just broke TheAHL.com. Evidently, they only show 10 game winning streaks on the website, as the standings are currently not properly registering the Admirals unbelievable 11 game streak. They've opened up an 8 point lead in the division on the idle Penguins and a 12 point lead on the idle Bears. Resetting their sights higher, they've also opened up a 6 point lead on St. John's for the conference's top spot, although St. John's has 5 games in hand. Nonetheless, they need to give Cooper the hardware.
P.S. Panik attack, y'all!
Norfolk finishes their week against Springfield tomorrow night. The normal warning about beating the same team on back-to-back nights when you paste them pretty good on the first night applies.

Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force Hosts Mortgage Fraud Summit in Detroit
WASHINGTON, DC – April 26, 2010 – (RealEstateRama) — Representatives of the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force met in Detroit today for the third of a series of Mortgage Fraud Summits. The task force, established by President Barack Obama in November 2009 to wage an aggressive, coordinated, and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes, is composed of representatives from a broad range of federal agencies, regulatory authorities, inspectors general, and state and local law enforcement.
The greater Detroit metropolitan area is ranked 10th in the nation for the number of local subjects named in Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) filed by depository institutions concerning suspected mortgage fraud, according to a recent study by the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). And according to FinCEN data, Michigan ranked eighth in the nation for mortgage fraud SARs. According to True Standings Loan Performance, Detroit also ranked ninth in metropolitan areas for serious delinquencies in conventional mortgages.
Today, the task force members met with Detroit community members, banking, mortgage, and real estate industry representatives and law enforcement officials to discuss the problem of mortgage fraud from a national, state, and local perspective. In the morning panels, attendees discussed the community impact of mortgage fraud and the evolution of the crisis. In the afternoon, task force representatives will meet privately with law enforcement officials involved in the investigation of mortgage fraud.
"Integrity in the mortgage lending business is crucial to protecting home owners, neighborhoods, and lending institutions," said U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan Barbara L. McQuade. "Mortgage fraud leads to foreclosures and vacant homes, which harm property values and create havens for criminal activity. Today's summit shows the commitment of the Department of Justice, along with our local law enforcement agencies and regulatory agencies, to combat the problem of mortgage fraud."
"The president created the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force to hold perpetrators of fraud accountable to the fullest extent of the law and to help families protect what they have worked so hard to build," said Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division Tony West. "In collaboration with our federal and state partners, we will prosecute those responsible for the corporate fraud that helped lead to our current financial crisis and bring to justice those who seek to use this crisis to take advantage of honest Americans for personal gain."
"Mortgage fraud and white collar crimes strike at the economic heart of the American system," said U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Inspector General Kenneth Donohue. "To the extent that we can uncover and prosecute these activities, it's to everyone's benefit. Accordingly, I am happy to lend the HUD Office of Inspector General's nationwide expertise to this exceptional group of law enforcement agencies."
"Mortgage fraud hurts borrowers, financial institutions, and legitimate homeowners," said FBI Special Agent in Charge Andrew G. Arena. "Working together with our federal, state and local partners on mortgage fraud task forces and working groups across the country, the FBI is committed to combating mortgage fraud to protect the American homeowner and the economy."
Also participating in the summit were U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of California Benjamin Wagner; Executive Director of the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force Robb Adkins; FinCEN Director James H. Freis Jr. and Division Chief David Tanay of the Criminal Division at the Michigan Attorney General's Office. The Detroit summit is the third of a series of mortgage fraud summits. The task force held its first Mortgage Fraud Summit in Miami on February 14 and the second in Phoenix on March 25.
The Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force is reaching out to communities through events like today's, and through efforts like StopFraud.gov, the task force's one-stop shop for the American people to learn how to protect themselves from fraud and to report it wherever—and however—it occurs.
The task force also partnered with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Lawyer's Committee and NeighborWorks America to launch a consumer-friendly website, www.PreventLoanScams.org, which supports national, state, and local law enforcement efforts. The website, launched today, provides an accessible complaint form that can be filled out online and then entered into a nation-wide database and serves as a nationwide clearinghouse and destination for loan modification scam information on complaints filed, laws and regulations, and enforcement actions.
Mortgage fraud is a key focus of the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force's efforts. The task force is working to improve efforts across the federal executive branch, and with state and local partners, to investigate and prosecute significant financial crimes, ensure just and effective punishment for those who perpetrate financial crimes, combat discrimination in the lending and financial markets, and recover proceeds for victims of financial crimes.

Get out of the landing craft! Cover yourself, call up your men, take them out of the beach, that´s the idea you can´t stop repeating to yourself. You shake off the sand of your face and take another peek of those bunkers up there in the crest, wondering again how to get out of it. The clock keeps ticking and time flies! The weak beachhead depends on your actions either to consolidate it or to be rejected by the enemy, tossed back to the sea, something that would make the Atlantikwall impregnable.
You have no support; your only option is to look for the faces of the junior officers who are eagerly awaiting for your orders and begging to yourself not to break their confidence making a mistake.
The moment you´ve been waiting so long has arrived:
Lead your troops in combat facing an utter motivated and implacable enemy.
Take your men from the sands of Omaha Beach to the outskirts of Saint-Lò in bloody combats that revive the main events that took place in the Normandy theater.
Achieve the objectives and tasks assigned, and trigger...
The Beginning of the End.
Normandy, The Beginning of the End is the 4th game on the Nico Eskubi & JC Cebrian's War Storm Series.
The previous games (Paths to Hell, La Bataille de France 1940, and A las Barricadas!) were published under Compass Games trademark. Now the serie has moved to Draco Ideas. At this new stage we will try to offer the same or better game components quality.
We can advance you that we are going to land on Kickstarter on January!

Backtrack 4: Information Gathering: Dradis – Effective Information Sharing
One of the biggest problems when conducting penetration tests and vulnerability assessments is the organization of all the information obtained on the test. I used to use a program called Leo to organize my information because it had a tree like interface and you well able to create a well mapped out report of all your information. A new tool was released last year which has expanded on this same method and added some other very cool features. Dradis is an open source framework to enable effective information sharing during penetration testing exercises. It provides a centralized repository of information to keep track of what has been done so far, and what is still ahead. Dradis is thus an ideal tool to help in the process of security assesments.Details

Cocktail hat Garden Party Green tweed button hat
Cocktail hat Garden Party Green tweed button hat
The Ladybug wears no disguises.
She is just what she advertises.
A speckled spectacle of spring,
A fashion statement on the wing....
A miniature orange kite.
A tiny dot-to-dot delight.
~J. Patrick Lewis, "The Little Buggers"
A pea green Harris tweed lawn with big spring flower offering shelter to a little glass ladybug. A perfect splash of colour to wash away the winter blues, the finishing piece to your garden party outfit.
Old school all the way, all my hats are made from scratch using heavy buckram & wire construction the same way that your Great Grandmas hats were made meaning they are tough enough to last a lifetime and become a family heirloom all of your own.
The frames are then covered in certified Harris Tweed and lined in recycled Kimono silk which I buy locally from the lovely ladies on Shibata Main Street.
This hat measures 12cm in diameter and is secured to the head with easy to hide hat elastic.
Postage from Japan takes 7-14 days. If you need your hat sooner I can send it EMS which is insured, tracked and takes 3-5 days. If you require EMS postage please convo me BEFORE you purchase the hat so postage costs can be amended. EMS costs US$20 to all destinations.
Orders that are shipped to countries outside Japan may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees levied by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are levied once a shipment reaches your country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by the recipient; Aka Tombo has no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for further information. When customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond my original delivery estimates.

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) — HBO's decision to renew its deal to carry movies distributed by Universal Pictures is a shot across the bow at online-video provider Netflix Inc., an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. said Monday.
Financial terms of the deal announced Sunday were not disclosed, but published reports said Time Warner Inc.'s US:TWX HBO cable network is paying about $200 million a year to retain the right to air Universal films through 2022. The previous agreement was locked in through 2016.
The main attraction for HBO lies in its original programming, including shows such as "True Blood," "Boardwalk Empire," "Game of Thrones" and "Girls."
"So why does HBO feel it needs to invest so heavily in movies? We believe it's a defensive move, aimed at keeping Netflix from becoming a legitimate movie service," Bernstein's Todd Juenger wrote in a research note.
Last month, Netflix NFLX, -1.69% forged a deal with Walt Disney Co. DIS, -1.95% to offer movies from Disney, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, Marvel Studios and Disneynature across all devices as soon as they are made available for pay TV, beginning in 2016. Under the multiyear pact, Netflix will also gain access to classic films from the Disney library.
Combined with the movies Netflix currently carries from Viacom Inc.'s VIAB, -2.96% VIA, -1.29% Epix service, the Disney content means it "will once again become something approaching a legitimate movie service," Juenger remarked. "If Netflix had grabbed Universal as well, it would have indisputably become a strong movie player."
In the same way that owners of television shows such as CBS Corp. CBS, -2.94%, News Corp. NWSA, -2.61%, NWS, -2.21% NWS, +1.22% and Disney limit Netflix's access to their most popular episodes, HBO has moved to protect itself in this instance.
However, Juenger noted that HBO is subject to the same forces that are buffeting other premium channels. "We believe HBO will find it hard to grow [subscribers] or pricing in a world that includes multiple SVOD [subscription video-on-demand] entrants at significantly lower price points, while cost pressures will also intensify."
Sony Pictures SNE, -1.20% 6758, +0.89% is another major studio with an exclusive agreement set to expire in 2016, one with Starz US:LINTA US:LMCA. Now that Starz is set to lose access to Disney films at that point, it could try to renew with Sony, Juenger pointed out. But Netflix is likely be a formidable bidder for the studio's films, especially with Universal off the board.
In the analyst's view, this will force Starz, which is in the process of a spinoff, to decide whether it wants to get into a bidding war with Netflix or focus on original programming. CBS's Showtime made the latter decision a few years ago.
Meanwhile, Netflix said Monday that it has entered into an exclusive agreement with Warner Bros. Television Group that will let its subscribers see Warner-produced serialized dramas, including NBC's "Revolution," USA's "Political Animals" and "666 Park Avenue," which airs on ABC. The deal also covers shows that have yet to debut, including the Fox midseason drama "The Following," as well as library shows including "The West Wing."
Though Time Warner owns both HBO and Warner Bros. Television, the two divisions are run separately, so that one of them can see Netflix as a rival while the other can see the advantage of collaboration. "We continue to adapt our business models to include SVOD when it makes sense for the long-term value of each show, and are thrilled to have Netflix as one of our distribution partners," said Bruce Rosenblum, the president of Warner Bros. TV, in a statement.

USC strongly in mix with Bronson
WR Ryeshene Bronson of Fort Myers, FL has named a new top five. They are USC, Clemson, Tennessee, South Florida and LSU in no order. Bronson said he likes the Tigers and Gamecocks because "both schools like to toss it around."
The Gamecocks have a slight lead over Clemson because of their conference affiliation. "If I had to choose between the ACC and the SEC, I would choose the SEC," said Bronson. "I want to play big boy football."
Bronson was previously committed to Florida but has reconsidered saying he wants to get away from the Sunshine State. He plans to visit Ole Miss, Mississippi State, South Florida, Florida State and Alabama this summer.
"I know for a fact I'll take one of my official visits to South Carolina," he said. "I haven't (a date) but I know I'm going there." Clemson is another official visit Bronson wants to take. He does not have a time frame for a decision.

German Muesli Bread
Yet another short post. I made this mini loaf of bread earlier this month during my team's teambuilding at Malaysian Institute of Baking. Have fun with the recipe =)
Preparing the Sponge
- 385g bread flour
- 4g instant active dry yeast
- 231ml cold water
1. To prepare the sponge, mix flour, yeast and water for 3 minutes on slow speed. The sponge should be cool, feels dry and slightly firm.
2. Ferment the sponge by placing in an air-tight container for 3 to 4 hours. The sponge should raise three times its original volume.
Preparing the Dough
- 9g instant active dry yeast
- 127g cold water
- 110g multigrain
- 55g wheat bran/oat bran
- 11g salt
- 44g sugar
- 8g bread improver
- 17g wheat gluten
- 44g butter
- 138g chopped walnuts
- 165g raisin
1. Add all the dry ingredients except butter, walnuts and raisins into the mixing bowl.
2. Add cold water, the sponge and knead (low speed if using machine) for about 5 minutes. The mixture should form a lump.
3. Continue mixing, knead harder. (Medium speed if using machine) Knead for another 15 minutes or until you feel that the yeast have started fermenting.
4. Add butter and continue to knead until you are able to stretch the bread dough into a thin film.
5. Fold in walnuts and raisins. Knead for a minute.
6. Quarter the dough and mould the dough round. Leave it aside, covered, for 15 minutes.
To bake
1. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin (powder the roiling pin and dough a little to make sure the dough don't stick). Fold the dough into three. Turn the dough 90 degrees and roll it out again.
2. Roll the dough inwards towards you, pressing the dough slightly down to stick to the bottom. Wet the top of the dough with water and sprinkle some extra multigrain.
3. Put aside (or in a proofer) for an hour or until the dough rise double the original size.
4. Bake at 200C for about 25 minutes.

Past the point of the blade: Gillian Philip
You could have knocked me down with a very small feather. (Fortunately I was sitting down at the time.)
I had my first ever Edinburgh Book Festival event this year, and I loved every minute, even the fear and trembling in the yurt beforehand (none of which was necessary, since my audience was terrific).
So there I was signing books after the event, and a friendly teacher told me she knew of schools that won't have my novel Crossing The Line on the premises, because it 'encourages knife crime.'
Now, I think there's a lot to be said for the unofficial 'filtering' system that exists for children's and young adult fiction. I was asked to write a piece just the other day on a nearby topic, namely the constraints on sex and profanity in YA books. And on the whole, I think this one of the (many!) areas where YA writing actually has the advantage on adult writing.
I've lost count of the adult books I've read where the curse-count becomes yawnsome (and believe me, I'm not averse to some choice language myself). Or where a profanity sounds awkward and giggle-inducing in a character's mouth, like that buttock-clenching bit at Live 8 when Madonna tried to be Bob Geldof.
And when it comes to book sex, we've all bumped into those explicit episodes where you get the feeling the author was asked to up the word count (and again, I'm not averse to a sex scene. Mind you, I don't think there's a single profanity that should be banned, but the word 'manhood' definitely should. It always makes me imagine it's wearing a little cape.)
Writers for children and teenagers always have to have, in the back of their mind, the limits of what their publisher will accept – and beyond them, the teachers, parents and librarians who often buy or recommend this fiction. That's a good thing. I do believe we have to take particular care in our writing.
(And then I read this in Tuesday's Guardian online: 'Alison Waller, senior lecturer at the National Centre for Research in Children's Literature at Roehampton University, says: "As a children's writer, Anne Fine has a very strong sense of a pastoral obligation to her readers... But many writers for children and young people don't feel like that. They believe they should just write what they want and leave it up to the reader to interpret."' Hmm. Perhaps Alison Waller has been misquoted? Because if not, that's an astonishing, unfair and inaccurate assertion. But I digress, and maybe Ms Waller's reported statement doesn't deserve the digression.)
When you meet a choice bit of swearing in a YA book, or some underage sex, you know that thought and care has gone into that moment. We don't chuck this stuff around lightly. And the same applies to violence.
I have some violence in my books, and that includes descriptions of how violence feels for the perpetrator. To avoid the kick of brutality, to pretend it doesn't exist, is not only to patronise your audience, it's to lie about humanity and how we got here.
What you do, then, when you're a YA writer, is you follow it up. You follow your line of sight past the point of the blade and you take a hard look at what came next. For everyone.
I think hard about every blow. I don't wallow in violence-porn; I'm not an 'adult' writer. But YA writers don't give moral lectures, either. We look at the evil that men and women do – even the young ones – and what comes after. And personally speaking, I look for some hope.
So given the thought that goes into our work, is it honestly too much to expect that the gatekeepers – much as we appreciate and value them – take a moment to read a book before they denounce it?

There was also this very telling comment in the Guardian article, from a teacher : 'Before I Die is apparently about a teenager who does lots of things like have sex with various people because she knows she is about to die.'
Apparently? So she's prepared to condemn a book without having read it?
Great post Gillian and I agree completely about 'manhood'. Will now never be able to read it without imagining the little cape.
- 2 September 2009 at 07:06
- Stroppy Author said...
Hear, hear! We're both prone to a little violence :-) I find there's more hostility to injury and death. Maybe because we don't have to see the suffering of the victim for long. (Latest editorial comment - 'why don't they just kill him'?) That's going the sanitisation route, I feel - and we justify the violence we write by NOT sanitising. It has to have nasty consequences which we confront head on.
It is horrendous that people will condemn books without reading them. Keren's example is rather chilling.
- 2 September 2009 at 07:37
So shall we deduce that this whole sorry state of affairs is down to one person who has now written a couple of dubious 'quotation' articles for the Guardian? Or is there more?
I'm too busy blogging about it to complain to the Guardian. is anyone actually complaining officially?
Maybe we don't need to get worked up. Maybe no one said any of these things?
And then we can go into detail with what does happen, or not, in Before I Die. Like, yes she did have sex with more than one person, but on the list was simply to have sex. (Teachers don't read books, much, so will need to guess at what apparently happens in lots of them.)

I find this astonishing. Before I Die is an exquisite book about humanity, heart-breaking and joyous, full of life in the shadow of death. Crossing the Line is an honest book about the devastating effects of violent crime - even the structure says 'this is a book about what happens when....' It must address the reasons why violence happens, and it does, with blunt honesty - anything less would be deceptive. It's like telling kids 'don't take drugs, they're bad for you'. The first question any astute kid will ask is 'why do people do it then' and you better be ready to answer because our kids aren't stupid.
It's all very well for people to take the moral high ground - meanwhile, in real life, our kids are having sex, drinking too much and brushing with violence ALL THE TIME. Wake up Guardian - writers aren't encouraging this - they are responding to it.

Something I find most amusing is that sex is more taboo than violence and murder. You can have blood and guts galore in a book for 10 year olds, but sex is off limits. That says a lot about what's wrong with us as a society, or as a species - I'm not sure which.
In my first book, I had cruelty to animals, domestic violence, child imprisonment and vivisection, and murder (well, nearly), and my agent didn't flinch. In my second book I have an oblique reference to abortion, and my agent got uneasy. As they say in the US, 'Go figure...'

Completely agree, Gillian. A very common topic of conversation in school libraries - why we can or can't have a certian book on our shelves. But it's most often because they're very understandably worried about "what parents will say" because parents so often do. And I guess whether a librarian can face dealing with that will depend on how supportive management are. I had a librarian saying she couldn't have Monday are Red "because of the swearing" - there's PISS OFF (nothing worse!) but she happened to have opened it at that page and she thought parents would complain. God. Better keep kids out of the playground then.
And the idea that a story that features knife-crime/drugs/sex/murder is therefore going to encourage those activities is so absurd and utterly depends on the story and context. Gah.

But it's true! Books have a pernicious effect!
For instance, I read Lord of the Flies recently, and next thing I knew, I'd abandoned my children on a desert island with a fat kid and a boys' choir.
Then I read Oliver Twist, and found myself inspired to entice orphans off the street and train them into a gang of pickpockets.
And then I read A Clockwork Orange, and was gripped with an irresistible desire to listen to some classical music.
And you don't want to know what happened after I read Watership Down...

I suspect Alison Waller may have been quoted out of context. She has also said, 'In a society that worries about its own infantilism there is a general atmosphere of uncertainty surrounding the concept of adolescence. These anxieties are crucial to understanding modern subjectivity and they result in extreme - often nostalgic - attempts to fix adolescence as a separate state' (Constructing Adolescence In Fantastic Realism).
- 2 September 2009 at 11:38
Alison Waller has been quoted out of context. As has Anne Fine. And yes, it is much too much to ask teachers and librarians to read books before they comment, because something like 20,000 YA books are published every year. I figure if we have the right to write what we like (which we do), librarians or parents have the right to disapprove with whatever prejudice they can bother to dredge up. It won't necessarily make a blind bit of difference in terms of what their kids read in any case.
I do sometimes wish YA authors (and I'm not particularly singling you out, Gillian, promise) would direct their outrage at something slightly more socially useful than so called restrictions on what they/we write.
It's an open marketplace -- as long as you can find someone to publish and read your books, you can do and say whatever you like. Which is more than you can say for the vast number of countries in which extreme censorship is the standard.

- Keren David said...
It's reasonable to expect thazt they won't comment on one particular book if they haven't read it, surely? No one's expecting them to comment on or read 20,000, just to limit their opinions to things they've read.

John, you'd better hope that the CRB haven't worked out how to surf the internet yet, or it's no more school visits for you.
And Meg's right I suppose - we can write more or less what we like. We have that right, in this country, and we can always get around so-called restrictions by a few cunning disguises. 'Piss off!' is in Watership Down, incidentally - but no-one notices because a seagull says it.

EEEEK! Ed, it's satire, honest! I didn't really!
And, Kehaar! Yes! I remember being taken aback by that 'Piss off!' because, I think, it had never occurred to me before that you could put a 'rude word' in a book. I suppose I'd always imagined that 'they' would stop you.
It didn't turn me into a foul-mouthed little urchin, though.

- Gillian Philip said...
First off, chaps, nothing in my post is about Anne Fine - she was mentioned in passing in a quote I used. That quote may well be out of context (or indeed misreported - nothing in the Guardian would surprise me now), but if it IS accurate, the context is rather beside the point. Alison Waller, if she (a) said and (b) means what is reported in this quote, is being unfair and pretty insulting.
Meg, I hope you noticed that I used the word 'denounce', not 'ban'. Everybody's shelf space is limited and everybody can choose what they put on it. What I have a right (indeed an obligation) to complain about is being accused of 'encouraging knife crime'. It's absurd, it's untrue, and it's based, presumably, on looking at a book cover. No teacher or librarian has a right to accuse me of that, any more than anyone would have a right to accuse you of encouraging incestuous underage sex. Seriously, do these people understand the meaning of fiction? And how are they defining it to children?
Besides, I can direct my anger and energies in many directions at once (I often do). It's like walking and chewing gum - not that hard. I must say I find it an odd argument that because there's censorship in other countries, we should be timidly grateful for whatever state of affairs exists here...
John, you shock me. You haven't started burrowing, have you? Overdoing the silflay?

- Nicola Morgan said...
Good answer, G - I also felt that the main point of your indignation was being accused of encouraging knife crime just because your novel told a story in which it featured. I still haven't read C the L (on my pile ...) so I'm only ASUMMING (slap on wrist) but I'm assuming you didn't say your readers should go and knife people. If you did, you're a very bad person indeed.
I too can get indignant about many things simultaneously.
- 2 September 2009 at 23:04
- Nick Green said...
Out of interest I wonder how one WOULD glamorise knife crime in a work of fiction?
I suppose 'A Clockwork Orange' comes closest. But the weird thing is, no matter how much we sympathise with Alex, we still instinctively know that what he does is wrong.
I don't think anyone sensitive or empathic enough to get involved in a work of fiction would seriously start to think that knives were a Good Thing just because a sympathetic character uses them. We're capable of that doublethink, of liking the character while deploring them - the 'Magnificent Bastard' type. (Am I allowed to write that?).
- 3 September 2009 at 09:21
- Meg Harper said...
Excellent post Gillian and I'm with Nick on this. I get the same weirdness in complaints from parents about the youth theatre I produce. We once wanted to feature a paedophile. Complaints, complaints. But when we turned the character into a murderer that was OK. ??? And then in 'Fur' my editor got very worried because my female lead's dad noticed that she wasn't a little girl any more when she was wearing her swimsuit - she thought he was having incestuous thoughts!!! But in 'Piper' my male lead set fire to someone and small children were enslaved - no problem! It's all bonkers!

- Alison Waller said...
I realise I'm a little late in joining this conversation, but I would like to try and address your concern about my quotation, Gillian. The words attributed to me in the Guardian piece don't quite sound like those I remember saying (and I am extremely grateful to Brian Keaney for extracting some of my actual published sentences!). However, I am not an expert on journalism and don't particularly want to engage with the whole debate about accuracy here. What I did worry about when I first saw the piece some days after it was published was the fact that the quotation is pretty ambiguous without the context of my much longer conversation with the journalist. It looks as though I am suggesting we pit authors like Anne Fine – who care about their readers and the effect their writing might have on them – against other YA authors – who don't give a damn. Of course not. In fact, I think there are certain writers who have an acknowledged sense of responsibility towards their young readers and craft stories very much with an awareness of a young sensibility and a sense of social responsibilty: Fine is one of these authors, although this does not mean she avoids difficult topics or open endings (as she says herself on Anne Cassidy's blog post, Tulip Touch is hardly easy reading or simplistic). I think there are other authors who prefer to focus on the technical business of creating involving narratives without necessarily being constantly aware of the psychological needs of any particular child reader. Not all authors fit into one category or the other at all times (although books probably do) and I definitely admire both types!
Anyway, I said much more interesting things that might have been quoted if the original article was really concerned with ways that children's and adolescent literature can include sex, violence and all kinds of difficult stuff and still offer more than nihilism (was that what it was about?). Most importantly, I think much recent children's and YA literature has explicitly explored difficult and contentious issues but has done this using a range of formal and stylistic devices that demand an active and questioning kind of reading (and I think this relates to your point about the creative potential of restraints in writing for YA). Patrick Ness's The Knife of Never Letting Go is a good example in this respect, since it uses fantasy to build a world of horror and asks the reader to consider 'is this really how things would be?' That novel is also incredibly inventive in its use of language, so that a reader alert to sound and pattern might become more aware of the power we all have to describe and create reality. Other writers are playful and comic in their telling of troublesome things. Melvin Burgess is a master of toying, mischievously, with his hard-hitting subjects, for example. There also seems to be a rich seam of fiction for children – such as David Almond's lyrical narratives – that presents young protagonists in the face of trauma turning to forms of imagination as possible solace or sources of strength (Nicola Morgan's fab Mondays are Red can be read as an interesting commentary on this trend, I think). Books that imply that the answer to life's challenges is always found in artistic fulfilment can appear rather self-validating I suppose, but at least young people and those of us who love their literature are not floundering in a mire of hopelessness. Not that anyone with any sense ever thought we were.

Resurfacing on Rectory Park
07/08/2019 17:36:00.......Posted by Tim Pollard
The ward team have today had notification of works to resurface Rectory Park. Details from the letter are pasted below.
I am writing to inform you that FMCONWAY , on behalf of Croydon Council, will shortly be commencing resurfacing at the location/s and date/s below:
Date: 22nd to 24th August 2019 between 20:00-05:00
Location: Rectory Park
To enable the Contractor to undertake the works, on-street parking will be suspended during works hours. We also kindly ask that with forward planning vehicular access to and from properties adjacent to the road are reduced to a minimum during the works hours. Pedestrian access will not be affected.
Advance driver / resident information boards will be in place before the works commence, advising of the precise dates and times of the road closure.
Please however note that unforeseen circumstances (e.g. inclement weather conditions) may necessitate a change to the scheduled dates and information on road signs will be changed accordingly. Please check the road signs regularly for any updates
The resurfacing works will take place between Westfield Avenue and Sanderstead Hill .
Due to the nature of these works it is inevitable that some disruption will occur. For this reason it is recommended that where possible you use alternative routes, or allow extra time to complete your journey.
The on-street parking suspensions that will be in place within the works area are 19:30-05:00 on 22nd to 24th August 2019 . No parking for residents on the highway in the areas covered by the enforcement signs.
Please note that penalty charge notices (PCN's) will be applied to vehicles parked within the suspended areas during the works hours and/or vehicles relocated.
Due to the above we would urge all residents to ensure that their vehicles are moved from the suspended areas in order to avoid any delays to the works as well as incurring any charges.
If your vehicle is relocated please contact the LBC on 020 8726 6000 Ext 52816, who will provide you with an exact location of your vehicle.
We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience this may cause residents; however we want to ensure that all works carried out on the Croydon network are to the highest standards to ensure value for our residents.

Hamsey Green Pond - Work by the Downland Volunteers
01/08/2019 15:08:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
I was pleased to see that a number of improvements have been made to Hamsey Green pond. Dead trees have been cut back and much of the ground around the pond has been cleared. Some attempt has been made to soften the banks but this has not really been successful as a concrete base forms part of the pond on one side and a rockery leads into a four foot drop on the otherside. Due to the extensive neglect over many years it is going to take some effort to return this important place of tranquility and biodiversity into a place for young children and elderly can enjoy. The new benches are great and I am extremely grateful for all the efforts of the Dowland Trust who have worked so hard this week.

As you will all know I have spent a great deal of time working with members of the council to improve the pond which has been somewhat neglected. I am still hoping that the banks can be improved so it has an educational purpose as well as its important biodiversity and ecological aspect.

Taste Test: Semisweet Cooking Chocolate
Don't be fooled by price tags, fancy labels, or country of origin when buying chocolate for cooking. Our results surprised us.
Selecting chocolate―with percentages of cacao, country-of-origin labels, or organic designations―is about as confusing as choosing a good German wine. And if you're looking for chocolate that performs well in baking, the ante is upped again. Because of labeling laws, any chocolate with at least 35 percent cacao―the portion of weight contributed by the cacao bean, such as cocoa powder and cocoa butter―can be bittersweet, semisweet, or dark. We evaluated chocolates with a cacao percentage between 52 and 62 percent, and the results were surprising. Some had waxy textures and thin flavor, while one was campfire smoky. Here are the standouts.
OUR TOP PICK: E. Guittard Tsaratana Semisweet Chocolate (61% cacao)
Price: $2.50 (2.9 ounces)
Testers said: This option is sour and bitter, balanced by nice sweetness and a creamy mouthfeel. Raters noted its smooth cocoa flavor in the brownie. Bars easily break into 1-ounce portions, and they chop with little effort because they're on the thin side. Use in a chocolate soufflé, ganache, chocolate pudding, or fondue.
GREAT VALUE: Baker's Semi-Sweet Baking Bars (54% cacao)
Price: $3 (8 ounces)
Testers said: We loved this choice for its rich, good, clean chocolate flavor; smooth mouthfeel; and nice, dry finish. The brownies were rich and full-flavored. This slightly less-nuanced chocolate would be dependable in brownies, chocolate chunk cookies, chocolate cake, s'mores, mole sauce, or ice cream.
SPLURGE WORTHY: Valrhona 61% Dark Chocolate
Price: $11 (8.8 ounces)
Testers said: Raters enjoyed this chocolate's round, bright, intense flavor that gives way to a pleasing dryness on the palate. We liked the brownie, too, but save this choice for baking applications where the premium quality shines through, as in a chocolate soufflé with chocolate sauce, gourmet hot chocolate, or truffles.
From the Test Kitchen: Tips for working with chocolate
- Keep it real. In our recipes―and on our palates―small amounts of genuine chocolate always trump fat-free or sugar-free substitutes.
- Choose Wisely. To obtain optimal flavor and texture for baking, don't use chocolates higher than 62 percent cacao for recipes calling for semisweet chocolate; results could be dry, chalky, or bitter.
- Watch the bloom. A gray, dusty coating known as "bloom" may develop on chocolate stored in warm or humid conditions. It doesn't always affect quality, but taste your chocolate before baking.
- Bake with care. Check a chocolate dessert 5 minutes before the recipe directs because oven temperatures can vary, and low-fat baked goods dry out easily.
Method: We held a blind tasting of 10 room-temperature chocolates. To see how the samples fared in baking applications, brownies were made from and served with each chocolate sample. Seven food editors and chefs rated.
Nutritional considerations: A higher cacao percentage means more cacao bean elements (cocoa butter, cocoa powder, cocoa liquor) per ounce. But the amount of fat varies from chocolate to chocolate, even if the cacao percentage is the same: The balance of cacao elements is key to the crafting of chocolate. Sugar supplies the remaining portion of the candy's weight, with a fraction of that from vanilla and emulsifiers. These chocolates range from 140 to 163 calories and 2.5 to 6 grams saturated fat.

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Gloria Negrete McLeod, a freshman Democrat, announced Tuesday that she will run for San Bernardino County supervisor rather than Congress, becoming the sixth California House member to head for the exits and potentially creating yet another competitive race.
"My heart is here in the district," she said in a written statement.
After agonizing over whether to run for reelection to Congress or a seat on the Board of Supervisors, "my desire to represent this community locally, where I have lived for more than 40 years, and where I have long served as an elected official, won out," she said.
Negrete McLeod, 72, a former state lawmaker, defeated a fellow Democrat, then-Rep. Joe Baca of Rialto, to win election to the House in 2012.
Baca said by telephone Tuesday that he was still planning to run for the seat being vacated by retiring Rep. Gary Miller (R-Rancho Cucamonga) but added that he was keeping his options open.
Democrats Henry A. Waxman of Beverly Hills and George Miller of Martinez and Republicans Howard "Buck" McKeon of Santa Clarita and John Campbell of Irvine have announced they are retiring when their terms end.
Filing for the June 3 primary is open until March 12 in races without an incumbent.

The University of Minnesota must set up independent inquiry to examine what happened in clinical trial that led to the 2004 death of Dan Markingson, say scholars
Over one hundred seventy leading scholars in health law, bioethics and medical research have called on the University of Minnesota to investigate the 2004 death of a psychiatric research subject, charging that university administrators have "refused to publicly engage in a transparent, open, and critical assessment of what went wrong in this study." The letter, led by Trudo Lemmens, the Scholl Chair of Health Law and Policy at the University of Toronto, and five colleagues from leading U.S. institutions, urges the Faculty Senate of the University of Minnesota to request an immediate, public inquiry into the troubled study.
Dan Markingson was acutely psychotic when University of Minnesota psychiatrists enrolled him into an AstraZeneca-sponsored study of antipsychotic drugs. He had been repeatedly judged incompetent to make his own medical decisions and was also under an involuntary commitment order that legally required him to obey the recommendations of the psychiatrists. His mother, Mary Weiss, attempted to get her son out of the study for months, warning that he was in danger of killing himself, but her warnings were ignored. On May 8, 2004, Markingson committed a violent suicide.
A 2009 investigation of Markingson's death by the St. Paul Pioneer Press found that the university psychiatrists had received large payments from antipsychotic drug manufacturers, including the study sponsor. "There was an overt conflict of interest, and there is reason to believe that the boy's death was an indirect consequence of the financial inducements of the study," says Dr. Jerome Kassirer, a former editor of The England Journal of Medicine and a signatory of the letter. In 2012, an investigation by the Minnesota Board of Social Work found that the study coordinator overseeing Markingson's care, who was working under the supervision of senior faculty members of the University of Minnesota, had committed an alarming number of professional violations, including fraudulently initialing for physicians on study charts and dispensing drugs without a license.
An inquiry is crucial, the scholars argue, because the Markingson study raises serious and ongoing concerns about the enrollment of vulnerable patients in research, the impact of conflicts of interest on the behavior of clinical investigators and university administrators, the qualifications of research personnel, and the integrity of medical research at major medical schools.
In addition to Lemmens, the letter was organized by Alice Dreger of Northwestern University, Raymond De Vries of the University of Michigan, Lois Shepherd of the University of Virginia, Susan Reverby of Wellesley College, and Jerome Kassirer of Tufts University. Reverby, a historian, uncovered the notorious Guatemala syphilis studies that led to a formal apology by President Obama in 2010. Other notable signatories include Marcia Angell of Harvard University, also a former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine; Richard Smith, a former editor of the British Medical Journal; Virginia Barbour, a former editor of PLoS Medicine; George Annas, a leading Health Law and Human Rights Professor from Boston University; and Daniel Callahan, the co-founder of The Hastings Center.
To schedule an interview contact Trudo Lemmens, by phone at 416 978 4201 or 647-878 6752; or e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com; or Lois Shepherd, by phone at 434-249-4489 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com

There isn't much time between sessions and usually someone is right there trying to talk to me. I did a spur of the moment interview with Annelies van den Belt that I will be able to post part of what I asked dealt with records from Australia. I thought my friends in Australia needed a mention. I also still need to to report the breakfast meeting with Ancestry.com and many other visits.
I had a nice discussion with the developers of Find-A-Record. I will have to talk about this also. I have a lot more but it is time to get back in the classes.

text: Humans have been on this planet for so long that you'd think we'd have already come up with every possible combination of objects with which to hurt each other—and yet we continue to create new and ever more bizarre weapons. The latest innovation comes courtesy of a man in Barnstable, Massachusetts, who got mad at his girlfriend—after she committed the imaginary sin of receiving a text message from another guy while they were together—and whomped her in the face with "a pair of designer jeans he had doused in wasabi sauce." She got the wasabi in her eyes, and then he poured even more of the spicy sauce in her car. Double ouch. I think I can speak for everyone when I say that the term Masshole has never been more appropriate. The 22-year-old, whose name is John McGuiness, has been charged with domestic assault and battery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. Let's hope that he is punished with the full force of the law, and it certainly wouldn't hurt if the judge ruled that McGuiness had to rub a slice of habanero pepper all over his fingers every time before he pees.

New Canaan girls hockey team shuts out Greenwich in state tournament quarterfinals
DARIEN -- The New Canaan High School girls ice hockey team knew it couldn't afford to spend too much time reflecting on Saturday's heartbreaking loss against rival Darien in the championship game of the FCIAC Tournament.
The Rams were well aware that they had to turn the page quickly to make their mark in the state high school tournament -- a competition that began just two days after their only defeat of the season.
Relentless from the drop of the puck, the Rams showed the fire of a team on a mission.
Olivia Hompe, Madzie Carroll and Corbett Ripley scored two goals apiece to power top-seeded New Canaan to a 7-0 win over eighth-seeded Greenwich in the quarterfinal round of the state tournament Monday night at Darien Ice Rink.
The Rams (22-1) advanced to Wednesday's 6 p.m. semifinals at Darien Ice Rink, where they faced Simsbury, but the result was not available at press time. New Canaan had edged Simsbury by one goal twice this season.
"Our team is a resilient group," New Canaan coach Rich Bulan said. "Losing to Darien in the FCIAC finals Saturday was tough on the seniors, but they all understand that we have a second chance in the state tournament. We came out focused and played with a lot of energy from the start."
Greenwich finished its season at 11-11 with four of its losses coming against their main nemesis New Canaan.
More InformationFact box
"New Canaan was coming off a tough loss to Darien, so we knew they were going to come out fired up," GHS coach Brett Farson said. "We didn't make mistakes that caused them to score, they just made the plays to put the puck in the net. They had to work pretty hard for their goals."
It didn't take long for New Canaan to strike first in this fourth matchup between the two teams. Finding open ice, Hompe, who also registered two assists, scored off a backhand shot, giving New Canaan a 1-0 lead 59 seconds into the first period.
The Rams continued to score early and often. Carroll put a wrist shot in from the left-wing 3:14 into the period, then snapped a shot that hit the padding of the goal, putting the Rams in front, 3-0 with 8:58 to go in the opening period.
"Just because one game didn't go our way we weren't going to let that prevent us from going after the state title," said Hompe,who played a lot of defense Monday. "A lot of things didn't go our way against Darien Saturday, but we know if we play to our potential we can win the state title. We're excited about playing Simsbury in the semifinals."
On a power play, the Rams kept their relentless attack in the Cards' zone going. Senior forward Corbett Ripley tallied off a one-timer after receiving a cross ice pass from Hompe, making it a 4-0 game with 7:05 still left in the first period.
"Tonight, our puck movement helped us create a lot of scoring opportunities," Ripley said. "Our last game we were too stationary out there, but today we had great puck movement."
Taking a 4-0 lead into the second period, the Rams threatened to extend their lead, but were held off the scoreboard the first 10 minutes, thanks to the play of Cardinals freshman Lisa Lewis in goal. With the Rams on a 5-on-3 power play, Lewis made three saves during a one- minute stretch.
Greenwich generated some chances during the second and third period, with junior Erin Ferguson leading the way, but the Cards couldn't get the puck past Rams goalie Nathalie Deney (11 saves).
"The last time we played them we played real well during the second and third period and we came out and played our hardest tonight," Ferguson said. "We tried to step it up on offense tonight, but they're such a tough team."
New Canaan's fifth goal came when Ripley tipped in Carroll's snapshot taken just inside the blue line with 4:40 left in the second period.
"We didn't have a let down at all after Saturday's game," Carroll said. "We came out with the goal of not letting up a goal and we accomplished that. Now we're ready for the semifinals."

We take elder abuse seriously and want to assist in preventing it. Our Sr. VP of Franchise Development, Robert Pratt, is an active member of Maricopa Elder Abuse and Prevention Alliance, MEAPA, participating on the Financial Exploitation Committee. The senior community is under siege from the internet, phone, direct mail, and direct confrontation from individuals whether in their homes or out in the community.
We at Golden Heart Senior Care are committed to preventing elder abuse.
- Financial Elder Abuse alone steals in excess of 24 Billion dollars from the senior community every year through foreign lottery scams, identity theft, and direct theft of property, cash and jewelry.
- Forms of Elder Abuse include but are not limited to financial, physical, emotional, neglect, hording, and abandonment.
- Sadly in many cases it is the immediate or extended family that takes advantage; or, the family lives far away and is not present to protect their loved ones.
- Good agencies like Adult Protective Services still have limited powers. It is up to front-line Caregivers like us to proactively protect/advocate for our valued seniors.
- It is imperative that those in need of a caregiver seek out a reputable company like Golden Heart Senior Care (licensed, bonded and insured), where you can be assured that all Caregivers who come into your home are drug-tested and nationally background-checked for their driving, criminal, and sexual assault records.
- There are agencies that are not licensed, bonded, or insured, hiring unlicensed caregivers without thorough background checks. There are also numerous independent caregivers that are not licensed or background screened.
- Some of these caregivers have been known to befriend the client, gain their trust, and sadly convince the client to give cash, jewelry, and more – some even steal or forge checks. Since so many of the elderly suffer from various forms of dementia these crimes often go unreported.

Catholic over Howard anyday... esp. w/$$. If you wouldn't mind going to Cleveland I'd take Case over both of them... but if you really want DC then Catholic has a much better rep.
awww. Cleveland's not that bad. I live in the DC area now, so you can definitely take that into account, but its not crappy. there are things to do and see and cool people esp. if you get to know the neighborhoods. little italy is nice and nearby. i lived on the east side and there are places to hang out. i think anyone of them would be a good choice. i heard that case is not necessarily a good place for black men. but if you talked to black students and they seemed happy, then I would take that into strong consideration. the only thing about i know for sure is that the school is mostly tech nerds, so you might have to leave campus to find parties and stuff.

The NFL's effort to maintain an independent media presence constantly will be undermined by suspicions that the league expressly and/or implicitly shapes the content and the message in a way that makes the effort anything but independent.
Folks who work for the conglomerate known as NFL Media understandably are sensitive about that perception. How do they feel, we wonder, when that perception becomes reality?
It happened most recently last week, when the league office completely removed from Rich Eisen's Thanksgiving special an interview with Bradley Cooper, who stars in the new film Silver Linings Playbook.
King believes the move makes the league "look small and paranoid." It also makes the league look stupid.
Surely, someone at 345 Park Avenue knew in advance that Cooper had been booked for the show. Surely, someone at 345 Park Avenue knew in advance that Cooper starred in a movie that "included content related to gambling on NFL games." Surely, someone at 345 Park Avenue knew the film also includes Eagles colors and jerseys and logos, something that the league would have had to approve at some point. Surely, someone at 345 Park Avenue approved — or failed to block — the production of the special and the ensuing promotion of it.
As part of the promotional push, the league sent out on November 19 a mass email touting Cooper as a guest, and pointing out that he stars in Silver Linings Playbook. When the show debuted, however, Bradley Cooper was as visible as his distant cousin D.B.
So with the league willing to engage in such an obvious and clumsy effort to censor Eisen's show on such petty and irrational grounds, an important question arises.
How else is the NFL directing, in less obvious and clumsy fashion, the content and the message disseminated by NFL Media?
