CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A quick Google search of 'how to induce labor naturally,' will fill your screen with answers like exercise, sex, acupuncture, and primrose oil.
But a group of friends in the Queen City say they've found the trick... and it's all in the sauce.
"I have a group of friends who have said for years now they believe that this one pizza has put several of them into labor," mother of two Henley Schmiedel says.
Two of Schmiedel's close friends have turned to what they aptly nicknamed "The Inducer," when they were more than ready to give birth. One mother's water broke as she ate the pizza, the other went into labor within hours.
Their aptly titled inducing trick is formally titled the Buffalo Wing Pizza and comes from Hawthorne's New York Pizza & Bar in uptown, Charlotte. The pizza is made up of Hawthorne's special medium-hot buffalo sauce with chicken and mozzarella cheese.So, when Schmiedel was 38 weeks pregnant with her second child and feeling more ready than ever to meet her little girl, she decided to give the pizza a try."I thought it was a wives' tale," Schmiedel admits. "I didn't think it would work, didn't think anything about it."Schmiedel says she ate the pizza at 7:30 p.m. and at 11:30 p.m. her water broke. The following morning, Schmiedel texted her friends who weren't yet aware she gave birth."I sent a picture of her and all I said was maybe her middle name should be Hawthorne's," Schmiedel says. "They said, 'We told you, we've been telling you for years this works!" Since the group of friends shared the story of social media, Hawthorne's has been a hot spot for pregnant women. The restaurant has been told of three births occurring in the last week alone after women ate the pizza."I had heard rumors of this happening over the years," says Hawthorne co-founder and owner John Adams. "I definitely think it's the sauce, the spiciness and content of the sauce... it's spicy, but not too spicy, probably just enough to induce a baby."The spicy pizza's inducing ways are catching fire among soon-to-be moms. Adams says the restaurant recently received a call from a woman as far away as Texas asking if they can ship the pizza. As for the Buffalo Wing Pizza's formal title, the restaurant plans on adding Schmiedel and her friends' nickname for the pizza on the menu."We've gotten together and decided to put a subtitle to it," Adams says. "Hawthorne's is all about families so if we can start a family or add to a family it's really a win-win."

SAN ANTONIO -- Sgt. 1st Class Mariela Richardson never meant to be the top Army Reserve recruiter, she just did what she was told. Her first sergeant instructed her to prepare to appear before a quarterly board. That eventually led to her appearance before a battalion, brigade and finally a command board.
"Every time the Army has thrown something at me I've embraced in a positive way," Richardson said. "And I have always learned from it. I take on a challenge because I know I'll learn from it if I make mistakes."
Making it to the final board at U.S. Army Recruiting Command headquarters meant she would be scrutinized by its most senior enlisted leaders and compete against the best in other brigades. None of that mattered as much as the fact that she had flown her daughter away so she could attend the final event at Fort Knox, Ky., because her Green Beret husband was deployed at the time.
"I always think of my daughter. It was my time away from my daughter. I better win this," Richardson said. "That was my motivation."
In spite of the prizes she earned along with the respected title, for her the most meaningful reward was the confidence she gained to overcome difficulties and that the stress of it all was not in vain.
Now as the command's Army Reserve Recruiter of the Year, Richardson has sat next to the USAREC commanding general and the chief of the Army Reserve during pregame activities leading toward the Army All-American Bowl. She has interacted with several All-Americans and met other distinguished youth.
"Coming to the All-American Bowl is a great opportunity," Richardson said. "A lot of Soldiers don't get to see this part of the Army."
She plans to take this experience and talk about it with her potential applicants in Thornton, Colo., where she serves as the assistant recruiting center commander. For her, the experience of the All-American Bowl is another example of how the Army is full of opportunities.
Richardson made that discovery after joining in 2001. She wanted to ensure nothing would complicate her plans to apply for police academy upon reaching age 20. But she grew to love the Army and stuck around longer.
Born in Zacatecas, Mexico, Richardson grew up in Alhambra, Calif., and joined the Army as a green card holder. She became a U.S. citizen in 2005. She has been recruiting young men and women for the past three years with the Los Angeles and Denver recruiting battalions.

Specifically designed with firefighters in mind, but also very desirable in those rare instances where a higher breakaway point is needed, the Handi Klip® device ball and socket connection can handle exposure to higher temperatures than the break-away strap used on the Glove Guard® and Utility Guard® products. Some firefighters have already tested the Handi Klip® device in brief flash temperatures of up to 800° F without it coming apart or melting. It will break away at approximately 50 pounds, which should not be considered a true safety break-away.
The Handi-Klip® device uses a ball and socket joint that allows both ends to rotate freely and features oversized jaws to fit even the largest gloves. Reduce hand injuries by keeping work gloves available to workers at all times and reducing lost glove replacement costs. The tough engineered grade material holds its memory with a tight grip in all types of weather.
The small end attaches to a belt loop or directly to clothing, including one piece overalls. The large end attaches to a variety of glove sizes and other articles such as cloth sleeve protectors, mechanic towels, ear muffs, utility bags holding ear plugs and safety glasses, water bottles, and much more. Handi Klip® holds just about anything it can get a grip on!
Other features include non-conductive material and resistance to flex fatigue. Custom imprinting is available on One Side in One or Two Colors. Available in Fire Red, High-Vis Pink, High-Vis Yellow, Black, Signal Green, and Blue. Made in the USA.

KANSAS CITY � North Carolina, with its four-guard lineup, has become one of those teams that lives and dies by the 3-pointer.
For the first 13 minutes Friday, the eighth-seeded Tar Heels certainly lived by it as they rolled out to an impressive 20-point lead against No. 9 Villanova. Then, almost as suddenly, their season nearly died because of it. And not because they stopped hitting their perimeter jumpers.
UNC saw its once-comfortable margin turn into a stunning deficit midway through the second half because it got away from what it does best and stopped shooting them. It took an unexpected lineup change and some cool under pressure from gunners P.J. Hairston, Reggie Bullock and Marcus Paige, but the Tar Heels managed to get the job done � holding off the Wildcats of the Big East 78-71 to advance into a presumed matchup with top-seeded Kansas on Sunday.
The win extended coach Roy Williams� record of never having lost an opening-round NCAA tournament game.
Victory No. 23 in the streak, however, didn�t come as easily as it originally seemed it might. The Tar Heels (25-10) made eight straight field goals at one point early in the game, including four 3-pointers to roll out to a 32-12 with seven minutes left in the half. This shouldn�t have come as a surprise, considering that Villanova came into the game ranked 293rd nationally in 3-point field goal defense.
But then, inexplicably, UNC stopped taking advantage of its greatest strength and its opponent�s biggest weakness.
Maybe it�s because the Tar Heels still haven�t become completely indoctrinated to the style necessary to make their new four-guard lineup work. Old habits are hard to break, after all. Whatever the reason, UNC attempted only four 3-pointers over a 16-minute stretch wrapped around both halves, missing them all.
Not coincidentally, the Wildcats (24-11) rallied to take a 44-42 lead with 14� minutes to go.
�We shots some crazy shots, we rushed some shots and we turned the ball over, at the same time Villanova was getting tip-ins and easy baskets,� Hairston, who led all scorers with 23 points, said afterward. �At the same time, we still played with poise. We didn�t let it get to us.�
It sure didn�t look like it when Williams pulled a tried-and-true motivational tactic out of his bag of tricks by taking all five starters out of the game to send a message.
Surprisingly, though, the message wasn�t entirely punitive.
�It was a little bit of a game-plan change,� Paige said. �He wanted us to start doubling down on (Villanova�s 6-foot-7 forward JayVaughn) Pinkston, because he was killing us on low block. But then the second part of that conversation was that it�s gut-check time.�
Just as they did during the second half of the ACC schedule, after Williams scrapped everything he holds near-and-dear and completely changed the way his team plays, the Tar Heels rose to the occasion.
Surprisingly, it was the insertion of former walkon Jackson Simmons that helped turn the game back into UNC�s favor. Though Simmons contributed just one field goal and three rebounds in his 11 minutes of action, his screens helped spring Hairston and Bullock open for three consecutive 3-pointers during a 67-second stretch to give the Tar Heels the separation they needed to live to play another day.
UNC went 11 of 21 from 3-point range for a sizzling 52.4 percent to help offset a 37-28 deficit on the boards. The trio of Hairston, Bullock (15 points) and Paige (14) combined to make 10 of those long-range
�They came back from all the way down 20. That�s just March Madness basketball for you,� Paige said. �But we have guys that are confident, no matter what. P.J. has no conscience when it comes to threes. All three of us shooters live in the moment and just try to knock down the shots.�
As long as they keep making them the way they have been lately, the Tar Heels have at least a shooter�s chance to keep advancing in this tournament.

Actor David Arquette said he was "fine" but should have worn a seatbelt Friday after a car accident in West Hollywood reportedly landed him in the hospital.
"Luckily I have dragon's blood running through my veins," the "Scream" star tweeted. "Haha Thank you for all your concern."
According to TMZ, which first reported on the accident, a witness said Arquette experienced a head-on collision when the silver Cadillac he was driving dodged into oncoming traffic to avoid a car that had stopped suddenly in front of him.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
The gossip site posted photos that showed Arquette lying on a patch of grass off the side of a road, with two mangled vehicles nearby. Authorities told TMZ the drivers of both cars suffered "minor to moderate" injuries.
"Remember to wear your seatbelt-wish I was," Arquette tweeted afterward.
News of the crash comes about a month after Arquette last made headlines for having checked out of rehab. He'd reportedly sought treatment for dealing with alcohol addiction and emotional problems in the wake of his separation from wife Courteney Cox.

Justin Bieber has taken to Instagram to unload frustration over what he says are the "countless lies" being circulated about him.
In a passionate post Thursday, Bieber wrote that he's "tired of all the countless lies in the press right now," denying rumors that he's going to rehab. Bieber railed against those he perceives as against him, writing that "I'm 19 and it must be scary to some people to think that this is just the beginning."
The pop star originally ended the post with a jab at Lindsay Lohan, suggesting any comparison between the two was wrong. Before deleting the line, he wrote, "Look at her 2012 tax statements."
Bieber recently collapsed backstage during a London concert, tousled with paparazzi and canceled a performance in Portugal.

It wasn't meant to get any sort of attention, I just needed to come up with a disease name.
To my surprise, my stats have since shown a surprising number of people googling "Hufnagel's Syndrome" trying to find out what it was, then being directed back to the post. I've also received about 20 emails asking about it.
So here is the answer: There is no such disease.
The name idea is from a TV show I grew up watching, St. Elsewhere, set in a teaching hospital.
Florence Hufnagel (played by the mostly forgotten, but truly awesome, Florence Halop) was a recurring character. She was the classic patient-from-hell that we all encounter during our training (I didn't realize how accurate her portrayal was until I did my residency 10 years later). She was comically abusive and sarcastic, and made you realize how hard it could be to try and take care of someone you couldn't stand.
Her character made such an impression on a generation of TV watchers (and future doctors) that as recently as 2010 she was being cited in the news as an example.
In one of the most memorable scenes in TV history, Mrs. Hufnagel died from a bizarre combination of cardiac surgery complications and (more importantly) a malfunctioning adjustable hospital bed. It folded up into a V shape, bending her in half and suffocating her. Her death scene showed only one arm, sticking straight out the side of the folded bed.
In a bizarre postscript, it later turned out that she'd left her entire estate to one of the residents (Elliot Axelrod). When he met her lawyer it was (roughly) $50,000, but with taxes, funeral costs, and "an ongoing legal action with American Samoa" it left him with something like $18.73.
So, if you really want to think there's a disorder called "Hufnagel's Syndrome," I suppose it would be being killed by an electric adjustable bed.

Consensus Report
America's Climate Choices (2011)Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
This final America's Climate Choices report is the conclusion of a five-report series that included:
Advancing the Science of Climate Change
Limiting the Magnitude of Climate Change
Adapting to the Impacts of Climate Change
Informing an Effective Response to Climate Change
Climate change is occurring, is very likely caused primarily by the emission of greenhouse gases from human activities, and poses significant risks for a range of human and natural systems. Emissions continue to increase, which will result in further change and greater risks. In the judgment of this report's authoring committee, the environmental, economic, and humanitarian risks posed by climate change indicate a pressing need for substantial action to limit the magnitude of climate change and to prepare for adapting to its impacts.
Although there is some uncertainty about future risk, there are many reasons why it is prudent to act now. The sooner that serious efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions proceed, the lower the risks posed by climate change, and the less pressure there will be to make larger, more rapid, and potentially more expensive reductions later. In addition, every day around the world, crucial investment decisions are made about equipment and infrastructure that can "lock in" commitments to greenhouse gas emissions for decades to come. Most actions taken to reduce vulnerability to climate change impacts are also common sense investments that will offer protection against natural climate variations and extreme events. Finally, while it may be possible to scale back or reverse many responses to climate change (if they somehow proved to be more stringent than actually needed), it is difficult or impossible to "undo" climate change, once manifested.
Current efforts of local, state, and private sector actors are important, but not likely to yield progress comparable to what could be achieved with the addition of strong federal policies that establish coherent national goals and incentives, and that promote strong U.S. engagement in international-level response efforts. The inherent complexities and uncertainties of climate change are best met by applying an iterative risk management framework and making efforts to: significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions; prepare for adapting to impacts; invest in scientific research, technology development, and information systems; and facilitate engagement between scientific and technical experts and the many types of stakeholders making America's climate choices.
For more, view this five-video series on the America's Climate Choices project.
Key Messages
Climate change is occurring, is very likely caused primarily by human activities, and poses significant risks to humans and the environment. These risks indicate a pressing need for substantial action to limit the magnitude of climate change and to prepare for adapting to its impacts.
Decisions about the exact magnitude and speed of response efforts will depend on how much risk society deems acceptable. But in the Committee's judgment there are numerous motivations for action, including for instance:
- The faster that greenhouse gas emissions are reduced, the lower the risks; and the less pressure there is to make steeper and potentially more expensive reductions later. - Investments currently being made in energy-related infrastructure and equipment will lock in emissions commitments for decades to come. Enacting relevant policies now will provide crucial guidance for those investment decisions. - The risks of continuing "business as usual" are greater than the risks associated with strong efforts to limit and adapt to climate change. Policy changes can potentially be reversed or scaled back if needed, whereas many adverse changes in the climate system would be difficult or impossible to "undo".
Uncertainties in projecting future greenhouse gas emissions and in estimating the sensitivity of the climate system to greenhouse gases make it difficult to project the exact severity, location and timing of climate change impacts. Uncertainty is not a reason for inaction, however; it is, in fact, a compelling reason for action, especially given the possibilities of abrupt, unanticipated, and severe impacts.
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions would reduce the need for adaptation but not eliminate it. There is a need to begin mobilizing now to reduce vulnerability to climate change impacts.
Emissions reductions and adaptation efforts should be guided by an iterative risk management approach, which emphasizes taking action to reduce risks while continuously incorporating new information and adjusting efforts accordingly.
Response efforts currently being advanced by state and local governments, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector are significant, but not likely to yield progress comparable to what could be achieved with strong national policies and leadership.
A comprehensive U.S. response to climate change includes efforts to:
- Substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions (ideally, through a national carbon pricing system and strategic complementary policies) - Begin mobilizing for adaptation at all levels - Invest in research and development, both to advance basic understanding and to improve/expand response options - Develop effective systems to inform and evaluate climate choices - Link scientific analysis with public deliberation - Actively engage in international response efforts - Coordinate the many related components of the nation's response efforts

"Our first few times burned so fiercely in my mind I could hardly recall them even as we were still lying together."
Critics have not been kind to the red, white, and purple prose in this memoir by the New Jersey "Luv Guv" who resigned after outing himself as a "gay American." Alas, they have a point. Those of us who live in New Jersey had hoped that while in office, McGreevey would keep his mind on big questions like: Why do we have the highest property tax rates in the nation? But we learn from The Confession (HarperCollins/Regan) that he kept getting distracted by thoughts like: "He greeted me in his briefs. 'Did anybody see you?' he asked, closing the door quickly" … "We undressed and he kissed me. It was the first time in my life that a kiss meant what it was supposed to mean – it sent me through the roof" … "I pulled him to the bed and we made love like I'd always dreamed … boastful, passionate, whispering …" Lines like these suggest that if McGreevey has no future in politics, he may yet have a career as the gay romance novelist.
Writing sample:
"Our first few times burned so fiercely in my mind I could hardly recall them even as we were still lying together. " Get out the fire hoses when politicians try to write about hot sex. If those trysts burned "fiercely" in McGreevey's mind, doesn't that mean he would remember them, not forget them?

text: In the UK, the 1958 Rank Organisation adaptation of A Tale of Two Cities, starring Dirk Bogarde, is probably better-remembered than the 1935 MGM version. The 1950s film is the one that's widely available here (there's even a special edition DVD), whereas the 1930s version has never been released on DVD in the UK at all and has to be specially ordered on import. I think it is a pity that the later version seems to have edged out the Ronald Colman film, which to me is by far the greater of the two, with its lavish production values and strong script. But, having said that, the 1950s version is well worth seeing in its own right, and Bogarde makes the role of Carton his own, giving a performance which is perhaps as moving as Colman's, though very different. I also like Dorothy Tutin as Lucie – I've seen her criticised as too sweet, but she does bring some humour to her quiet portrayal of a heroine who has to spend a lot of time waiting in the background.

Portraying Kennedy as a supply-sider is just conservative mythology, right? They can claim that if they want, but they can't argue with the plain words and arguments made by Kennedy.
I remember in 1986, when I was a lot less politically savvy. When looking back at the
Reagan years up until that time, I thought to myself "At least they can never claim supply side economics didn't work." Then I remember January 2001, when Alan Greenspan was so spooked by the dark clouds of recession on the horizon, that he lowered the discount rate by 50 basis points twice that month, before George Bush had even gotten comfortable in the Whitehouse. Again, tax cuts by Bush soon had the unemployment rate below 5% after peaking at 6.4%. At that point I thought "Supply-side tax cuts to the rescue again–they can't say it doesn't work."
Well, they got amnesia. In fact they are saying supply-side economics have never worked. When they make this claim I always take them to J.F.K.'s arguments from the early 60's.
"It is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now … Cutting taxes now is not to incur a budget deficit, but to achieve the more prosperous, expanding economy which can bring a budget surplus." – John F. Kennedy, Nov. 20, 1962, president's news conference.
"Lower rates of taxation will stimulate economic activity and so raise the levels of personal and corporate income as to yield within a few years an increased – not a reduced – flow of revenues to the federal government." – John F. Kennedy, Jan. 17, 1963, annual budget message to the Congress, fiscal year 1964.
Oh, I know, this is perceived as an abuse of Kennedy. Portraying Kennedy as a supply-sider is just conservative mythology, right? They can claim that if they want, but they can't argue with the plain words and arguments made by Kennedy.
Of course, Kennedy didn't invent this economic policy or the results. The same thing was done in the 1920's by Presidents Coolidge and Harding, and it led to the Roaring 20's.
My question is when has Keynesian economics, or it's current iteration, Obamanomics ever worked?
During the Great Depression F.D.R. became a beloved god to many Americans for implementing the current social safety net and for his leadership in WWII. But it would be gratuitous to suggest his policies led us out of the Great Depression. The unemployment rate in 1938 was nearly 20%, more than five years after many of Roosevelt's policies had been implemented.
It strikes parallels to what is happening today, high unemployment despite obscene amounts of money spent to supposedly stimulate the economy. Obama apologists will say that this spending prevented another depression, but anyone that got elected could have made that same claim. The truth is that the TARP bailout is probably what prevented a total economic collapse, and much of that money was committed before Obama took office. Furthermore, the last recession officially ended in June of 2009, likely before any of the stimulus money would have had a chance to effect the economy.
The sad fact is that America has now become addicted to a paternalistic government that provides for their every want. Many years ago Norman Thomas prophetically observed that…
"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."
We inherited Fabian Socialism from Europe, and look where they are today–in worse financial condition than the U.S. even without the massive defense budget we have here.
Nearly 250 years ago, we fought a war for independence to free ourselves from backward Europeans ideas. Today we want embrace them without a fight.

Kevin Rudd becomes Australian PM after Gillard resigns
Julia Gillard quit as prime minister after losing vote of ruling Labor Party lawmakers to Rudd
Kevin Rudd was sworn in as Australian prime minister on Thursday three years and three days after he was ousted from the same job in an internal government showdown.
His office could not immediately confirm whether Rudd would replace his predecessor Julia Gillard in a visit to Indonesia that had been scheduled for next week. Gillard was dumped Wednesday by colleagues spooked by the party's dismal opinion polling.
Governor-General Quentin Bryce commissioned Rudd within half an hour of Parliament resuming for what is likely to be its last day before elections.
"I will do my absolute best," Rudd told Bryce, whom he appointed governor-general when he was last prime minister.
Anthony Albanese was sworn in as deputy prime minister and Chris Bowen was sworn in as treasurer during the same ceremony. Rudd has yet say when he will announce his complete cabinet after seven ministers resigned following Gillard's ouster.
Rudd faces a potential no-confidence vote in Parliament, which he will likely survive although a loss could trigger an election as early as Aug. 3.
Gillard tendered her resignation as prime minister Wednesday night after losing a ballot of ruling lawmakers to Rudd 57 votes to 45.
Rudd has given no indication of whether he would stick with an election date of Sept. 14 set under Gillard.
Bryce revealed she took late-night legal advice on whether she should swear in Rudd.
A minority government such as Gillard led has not been seen in Australian federal politics since World War II, and the ruling Labor Party's leadership change has raised unique constitutional questions.
While Rudd has the support of his party, he does not necessarily have the support of a majority of lawmakers in the 150-seat House of Representatives, which a prime minister must have.
Acting Solicitor-General Robert Orr wrote to Bryce that Rudd should be commissioned as prime minister.
Bryce's secretary Stephen Brady wrote that she wanted an assurance from Rudd "that he will announce his appointment at the first possible opportunity to the House of Representatives on order to give the House the opportunity for whatever, if any, action it chooses to take."
Rudd plans to make a statement on the subject to Parliament later Thursday.
Wednesday's leadership ballot was forced by government lawmakers hoping to avoid a huge defeat in upcoming elections.
Rudd had warned that Labor was facing its worst election defeat under Gillard's leadership in the 111-year history of the Australian federation.
Gillard lacked Rudd's charisma, and although many Labor lawmakers preferred her style, her deepening unpopularity among voters compelled a majority to seek a change ahead of looming elections.
Labor has depended on independents and a minor party for its fragile ruling coalition, but Rudd appeared capable of retaining it after two independent lawmakers who did not back Gillard's government said they would support his.
"In 2007, the Australian people elected me to be their prime minister and that is a task I resume today with humility, with honour and with an important sense of energy and purpose," he said Wednesday after he was elected Labor leader.

Shellac @ First Avenue
Shellac @ First Avenue Mainroom
September 1st, 2012
Saturday night was an evening of pulverizing rhythms and jagged atonality at First Avenue's Mainroom. Local quintet STNNNG began the night with abandon, channeling the Jesus Lizard in sound as well as attitude and stage presence. Their set ended with a surprising cover of AC/DC's "Have A Drink On Me". Bellini took the stage next, a group hailing from Catania, Sicily, Italy. Their only non-Italian member is Alexis Fleisig, better known as the drummer for Girls Against Boys. They had a presence like none other - middle-aged Italians playing noise rock that sounds like it's straight from New York in the 80's.
Shellac emerged promptly at 9 p.m. and swiftly ran through a set of songs that spanned practically their entire discography to a venue that was near capacity. I should backtrack to mention that the premise of this show is as a part of their "20th Anniversary Tour" - but since this is Shellac and they do it their way, the tour was composed of three dates in their hometown of Chicago and one date in Minneapolis (most likely because drummer Todd Trainer hails from here and the Twins are one of Steve Albini's favorite baseball teams). Despite the exclusive nature of the show, the ticket was still a mere $12. Between songs bassist Bob Weston would ask the audience if anyone had a question, creating some amusing and snappy banter including Albini obliging to tell his favorite joke (which I wouldn't dare reprint here) as well as ridiculing a fan for requesting a song by one of his previous endeavors. Albini and Weston had nearly identical gear rigs: each had an Electrical Guitar Company instrument, an amp composed of two cabs with a head that only had one knob. Albini had only two pedals. The stage lights stayed on the entire time; there was no light show to speak of. They didn't have a setlist, instead opting to convene at the center of the stage between songs to discuss what should be played next. It's easy to understand why they refer to themselves as a "minimalist rock trio". Their final song ended with Albini and Weston setting their instruments down and deconstructing Trainer's drumset as he played it until he was left with just his sticks. They then moved their gear off the stage and jumped down in to the gap between the crowd barrier and the stage to interact directly with fans. Albini personally handled the merchandise sales. They're cocky and snarky, sure, but there really isn't any rock star attitude going on here. In an era when indie bands with one album under their belt can charge over twice as much for a ticket, a show such as this one was surprisingly refreshing. It's just difficult not to admire their steadfast commitment to the DIY aesthetic that they've now maintained for two decades. Happy birthday, Shellac.

I am liking fvwm more and more. Rather I went ahead to get the themes and icons for fvwm and am quite happy with the amount of customization I can do with the WM. So, I found the themes page for the fvwm which gives about 27 themes and all of them look quite cool.
You can choose to have the gnome and the KDE menu in your fvwm menu which is built dynamically. Decide on when the window should become active and things like Animation, Auto Raise, Banner and the list continues and you dont have to search anything to do any of those. The FAQ is a good resource to start.
And then you can go to the sites to get your theme:
For now I am trying the various themes to see which one suites my mood. Oh BTW the one thing that I did not like is that the time to change the theme is on the upper side.
Heres a screenshot of my desktop with one of the themes:

Hero Arms releases MK46 AEG! (2006-07-14)
Venturing beyond just making high quality auto-winding magazines, Hero Arms is about to release their first complete AEG (Hero Arms designers were originally custom gun-smiths!). This new MK46 has been sought after by many airsoft enthusiasts and we've received countless requests from players in the past to convince a manufacturer to build one. Well, we're glad that Hero Arms listened.
This new MK46 sports a STAR type mechbox that is capable of delivering 400fps - 500fps of power. However, Hero Arms will tune down the power on the final production version to about 350fps to keep the gun reliable and within game limits of most fields. Players can opt to upgrade the power as needed. The entire gun is built from high grade (light weight) aluminum. The gun is fed by a synchronized auto-winding box magazine that is mounted to the underside of the gun. Pull the trigger and the magazine winds automatically so you don't have to stop! The battery is concealed in the foregrip for a clean and tidy look. A rail on the top cover allows you to install a scope of your choice for more precise aiming. The full metal extendable stock is sturdy and easy to pull out and lock and in place.
In our in-house tests of this prototype, the gun fired flawlessly and very rapidly, pumping out about 15 rounds a second to completely destroy our cardboard target. Accuracy is quite good too! Without a semi-auto switch, this gun only works in full auto, and those with nimble fingers can work the trigger quickly enough to fire off one or two rounds at a time. The gun is also surprising light given that it is completely metal, which will appeal to players who plan to take this gun out for a day of skirmishing. But while it's relatively light for it's size, you'll still need some big muscles and endurance to lug this beast around for a full day. Sure you'll be tired, but who cares? You'll cast envy on all those around you for this limited edition masterpiece, which will only amount to 100 units worldwide.
And for those of you who frown upon the small caliber 5.56mm MK46, Hero Arms may consider making the 7.62mm MK48 for those die-hard enthusiasts who just yearn to have the biggest and most powerful heavy machine gun used by today's elite military forces!
Retail pricing for this beauty has not been set yet, but Hero Arms hinted that it will be in line with STAR's 100% plastic M249. That sounds like a steal to us!
Please check the detailed pictures below for more closeups!

The first steps were modest. Blyth, a pilot project in Northumberland, became the UK's first offshore wind installation when its two Vestas 2MW turbines started generating electricity in 2000. A year earlier, the trade body representing the embryonic wind energy industry at the time, the British Wind Energy Association, had initiated discussions with the government on guidelines for negotiating use of the seabed with the Crown Estate, the independent body that owns almost all the waters up to 22.2 kilometres from the UK coastline.
The resulting process for site allocation and leasing from the Crown Estate began in December 2000 and attracted an enthusiastic response from developers. With potential sites announced in April the following year, the stage was set for the push into the sea in the form of the 18 so-called Round 1 projects.
Soon after the start of Round 1, a series of capital grants for offshore wind farms was announced via the new opportunities fund. This gave consented projects up to £10 million (EUR12 million) each, representing around 10% of the project costs. By 2006, five operational wind farms were generating electricity in UK waters - Blyth, North Hoyle, Scroby Sands, Kentish Flats and Barrow, totalling 304MW. Round 1, when completed, added up to 1.3GW capacity.
Strategic framework
In 2003 the government concluded its Future Offshore Consultation to develop a strategic framework for the industry, which included the establishment of strategic environmental assessments (SEAs) and the need for the required transmission infrastructure. This led directly to the next phase of development, Round 2. The same year, the Crown Estate asked for expressions of interest and 29 companies registered interest in 70 locations comprising more than 20GW of generation.
Today, Round 2 is well under way, with three completed, operational wind farms and five under construction. A further three projects are consented and seven are still going through the permitting process. All this adds up to 9.6GW. Round 2 projects include Thanet in the Thames estuary, at 300MW the largest offshore wind farm currently operating in the world, and the 1GW London Array, set to take over as the world's largest offshore wind farm when completed in 2015.
The then Labour government's 2004 Energy Act was also "pro-wind" and created a legal framework for development outside UK territorial waters. The goal was to put Britain in the lead in addressing climate change and CO2 emissions and to begin to reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels as oil and gas reserves in the North Sea began to decline.
Now the industry is ratcheting up development with Round 3. These projects are a magnitude larger again and with Scottish territorial waters projects amount to a project pipeline of 40GW. The nine Round 3 zones allocated are in the Moray Firth, Firth of Forth, Hornsea, Dogger Bank, East Anglia, Hastings, West Isle of Wight, Bristol Channel and Irish Sea. UK Round 3 has a potential generating capacity of 32.2GW.
The key landmark date is 2020, when European obligations on carbon emissions, energy efficiency and renewables generation come into force. At the current rate, the UK should have 18GW of offshore wind generating by that date - around 17% of the UK's electricity needs, compared with just under 2% today.
So progress to date in the seas around the UK has been rapid, sustained by a political desire to embrace the carbon-emissions agenda and security of supply. The latter has been pushed up the agenda by the imminent closure of a number of coal-fired power stations to comply with European emissions regulations and the looming obsolescence of most of the country's nuclear plant.
With this political will has come a series of helpful financial mechanisms - such as the renewable obligation that requires electricity retailers to source a proportion of their power from renewables by buying renewables obligation certificates - which have facilitated what is an expensive and difficult-to-build form of electricity generation. Practical considerations have helped too, inclucing the decades of experience built up in the hostile waters of the North Sea through the oil and gas sector.
So what might derail this march towards projects such as the giant Dogger Bank generating large-scale electricity by 2020? Perhaps the biggest challenge is making offshore competitive in terms of cost with other generation technologies, particularly low-carbon nuclear power. Offshore wind costs around £150/MWh, and the current UK coalition government at the end of 2011 convened an offshore wind cost reduction task force with a target of £100/MWh, to compete with nuclear, which costs £97/MWh (see page 10).
Innovative finance
Bringing costs down will make the industry more attractive to investors, although financing challenges will remain as wind moves further offshore into deeper, more hostile waters. More innovative forms of financing and ownership involving project finance and consortia could be the way forward, as is being shown in Germany. Farook Khan, partner at international law firm Pinsent Masons believes that equity and sovereign wealth funds could be the answer. "The sheer demand for capital means funding is more constrained and is going to have to come from new equity sponsors," he says, but warns that "developers will have to accept a lower rate of return".
Technology must play its part too. Far-shore wind farms need to be bigger, but also more robust and reliable as they face extreme conditions and are harder to access when they go wrong. The supply chain and logistics could also stunt offshore growth. Without sufficient cables, ships and foundations, projects cannot be built and connected. Competition for the limited supply from other growing markets such as Germany, with stronger manufacturing bases, could pose a threat.
Political will is key to the UK continuing to exploit its wind assets. Far-shore Round 3 will present challenges as different to Round 1 as Round 1 did to onshore. As offshore insurance and risk specialist Jatin Sharma of GCube puts it: "Describing the UK today as a mature offshore wind market is only partly true. It is about to become innovative again with Round 3 as it's further, deeper and bigger. Added to that, most of the UK's own supply chain market was lost in Round 2."
Denmark, already a pioneer in onshore wind, was also a first mover in the offshore sector and today its market is the second-biggest after the UK, and ahead of Germany and the Netherlands.
As a small country with relatively modest wind resources, offshore wind was attractive early on, given the advantage of relatively shallow waters and greater wind resource in the eastern North Sea, Skagerrak waterway and the western Baltic.
The government was one of the first to provide financial incentives to develop renewable energy, first in the form of a grant for 30% of initial costs, and latterly through a feed-in tariff (FIT). So encouraged, Denmark went on to build the world's first offshore wind farm in 1991, Dong's 5MW 11-turbine Vindeby project, sited 1.5 kilometres from shore.
Connectivity advantage
A key advantage to integrating offshore wind into Denmark's energy mix as the sector has developed has been the connectivity of the country to neighbouring Germany, Norway and Sweden. Connection to the latter two countries via the Cross-Skagerrak link means Denmark's offshore wind generation can be balanced with Scandinavia's hydropower output. Denmark therefore has no need for non-renewable balancing projects to deal with periods of low wind, and can export wind to be stored in hydro-pump storage when excess power is generated.
Denmark's early-mover status means it has been able to create a robust offshore supply chain, which has led to it being home to offshore turbine pioneers such as Vestas.
Danish waters currently host 12 offshore wind farms, the largest being Dong's 209MW 91-turbine Horns Rev II, 30 kilometres off Jutland. Development offshore continues, with Denmark's biggest project to date - Dong's 400MW Anholt project, due to come on stream in 2013, when it will generate 4% of the country's electricity. Wind onand offshore now accounts for 24% the country's generation capacity.

The first National Senior Olympic Games were held in 1987 with 2,500 competitors. Now, the Games have over 10,000 competitors each year.
The Senior Games offers a variety of sports from which to challenge yourself, whether you are an archer or a triathlete. The games are held every 2 years in different cities around the US. If you want to compete, you must be at least 50 years old and qualify in a state competition in the year prior to the national competition. You can qualify in your home state or a state that allows outside participants.
Some, like John, 80, of Florida, and Lynne, 60, of California, have never competed nationally before. Others, including Richard Davies, 64, of Tennessee, are prior medal winners in the international arena.
"When you participate in the Senior Games, you get a feeling from year to year that you really aren't getting older," says Davies, who brought home gold from the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo. "Senior Games gives me an opportunity to compete again on a national level and maybe one of these days on an international level."
John began his athletic career in 1992 after watching seniors compete in an event near Orlando, Florida.
"I said, 'I can run as good as those guys and probably beat them,'" John recalls. And he has, winning more than 140 medals, including 125 gold. "I work hard at this, and I'm dedicated to the running. I feel that I'm a senior athlete as opposed to a senior games participant."
John alternates workouts—running and sprinting one day; lifting weights, rowing, and doing push-ups, sit-ups, leg-pulls, shot put, and long jumps the next. He participates in 6-10 track meets every year and feels his newfound fitness has improved his cardiovascular health.
After leaving amateur athletics and launching a successful career at Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., Davies stayed in shape and played tennis. When he retired and moved to the mountains, he learned about the Senior Games. A bout with prostate cancer motivated him to begin competing again.
"If I could keep some distance or times or improve upon them, that meant I wasn't going downhill but progressing," Davies says. He has surpassed his expectations, throwing the javelin farther than he has since college.
Like many older athletes, Davies competes in several events: basketball, tennis, badminton, and track and field. Although competition stays intense and winning medals is important, for most of the athletes, the games offer more than a chance to prove they are the best.
"There's an interesting camaraderie that I never experienced in college or international competition," says Davies.
If it were not for people like Davies, Lynne may never have become an international champion.
"One of the reasons I was able to go back in the pool after my first swim meet and do a second one a year later was that everybody was so positive," Lynne explains. Lynne has competed in the Senior Olympics and Masters Swimming.
Lynne's husband, Harry, fueled the family interest in the games when he began playing basketball.
"I hadn't even been in a pool for two-and-a-half years," she explains. "I started working out and swimming a half mile twice a week, and I got a couple of my friends doing it."
She now spends 4 or more hours a day, Sunday through Friday, in the gym and pool at Loma Linda University. The hard work has paid off, in medals and personal satisfaction. Her current times surpass those she had in high school. She holds a gold medal from a world Masters' event.
"I'm pleased with what has happened with my body," she says. "There's a thing called endorphins, and they work. It's a high you get from exercise, and it sticks with you."
Lynne says competing in the Senior Games has enriched her life in other ways. She and Harry have met several new friends who share their love of exercise and sports. Even when shoulder surgery temporarily forced Lynne from the pool, people she had met through swimming gave her a needed boost.
"I was surprised how many calls or messages I got from people I had met around the country and the world," Lynne says. "That recognition and acceptance is probably the strongest I have ever had in my life."
Information and registration for the 19 available sports can be found at the Senior Games website. National and state qualifying dates are available on the website as well.

"Our research indicates that this is the first paediatric cancer that can be prevented through maternal diet," said Dr. Gideon Koren, the study's principal investigator, director of HSC's Motherisk Program, a senior scientist in the HSC Research Institute, and a professor of Paediatrics, Pharmacology, Pharmacy and Medicine and Medical Genetics at U of T. "The role of folic acid in preventing neural tube defects such as spina bifida was already known. This study also suggests a link between folic acid and neuroblastoma."
Neuroblastoma is the second most common paediatric tumour and the most prevalent solid tumour that occurs outside of the brain in children under the age of five, affecting one in every 6,000 to 7,000 children in North America. Because this cancer develops in utero, neuroblastoma is the most commonly diagnosed malignant tumour of infancy. The aggressive nature of this tumour also makes it the most common cause of cancer-related death among children one to four years old.
When a number of Sick Kids oncologists noticed a decline in new neuroblastoma diagnoses, they sought to investigate the cause. In this study, the researchers looked at the incidence of neuroblastoma in Ontario, using the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO) registry, before and after the mandatory folic acid food fortification program. In 1997, Canada began fortifying flour with folic acid to aid in the prevention of neural tube defects. The POGO registry is a database that captures information on 95 per cent of all paediatric cancers in Ontario, which is submitted by the five major paediatric oncology centres in the province.
"This study shows the benefit of a population-based approach to studying childhood cancer, as we can look at trends and possible prevention strategies," said Dr. Mark Greenberg, a senior staff oncologist at Sick Kids, holder of the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO) Chair in Childhood Cancer Control, and a professor of Paediatrics and Surgery at U of T.
The research team also looked at the effect maternal folic acid intake had on infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia and hepablastoma, two childhood cancers that also have embryonal origins. However, no decline in these cancers was noted after the folic acid food fortification program was introduced.
"We need to investigate further the role of metabolism in the formation and prevention of neuroblastoma and other cancers that develop in utero. We will also look at whether folic acid has an impact on neuroblastoma after the cancer has already developed," added Dr. Koren.
Other members of the research team included Amy French, the study's lead author, a U of T graduate student, and the recipient of a National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada scholarship and the ASCPT Presidential Student Award, Drs. Ron Grant, Sheila Weitzman, and Lillian Sung, all from The Hospital for Sick Children, and Dr. Joel Ray and Marian Vermeulen from Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Sciences Centre.
This research was supported by The Hospital for Sick Children Foundation.
The Hospital for Sick Children, affiliated with the University of Toronto, is Canada's most research-intensive hospital and the largest centre dedicated to improving children's health in the country. Its mission is to provide the best in family-centred, compassionate care, to lead in scientific and clinical advancement, and to prepare the next generation of leaders in child health.

My friend Peter Musolf has written a marvelous review of a book entitled "Dashi and Umami: the Heart of Japanese Cuisine." His review appears in the current issue of the Journal of Wine Economics, and includes a thought-provoking discussion of the relationship between umami and wine, and some reflections on how it impacts wine palates and preferences in Japan. I have posted a link to the entire article at the end of this excerpt:
"Umami and wine is a connection alluring to oenophilist gourmets. Experts say amino acids of several kinds are on hand in fermented grapes, the decay of yeast proteins after fermentation also contributing aminos to the finished product. Still, many tasters have a hard time picking out the subtle umami swirling within their Musigny and Krug.
Not so the Japanese, in my view, whose diet gives them a rigorous umami sensitivity training and can easily differentiate not just between dashi types but also, mindbogglingly, between the grades of bonito or shiitake used or the source of the kombu. A Japanese chef, for instance, will tell you what sets apart his clear soup is that he only uses the rishiri kelp variety and only that taken from the bed off Rebun Island's Funadomari beach, the kombu equivalent of a grand cru vineyard in the Côtes de Nuits.
Japanese wine tasters, consequently, use the relative amount of umami they sense as a handy means of categorizing. Dashi-kei wines ("dashi family") are those with much umami, ones an American taster might say, a little vaguely, have "minerality," or as a French tasting friend of mine will flare his nostrils and remark: "mushroom!" Dashi-kei zya nai wines ("not dashi family"), on the other hand, are wines a Westerner might praise for "well-extracted fruit." In Japan, this last category is also known as "Parker type."
Within the dashi broth palate in Japan there is a division between "light taste" and "dark." The first of these, a complimentary term, is used to describe the tendency in Kyoto cuisine and that of the surrounding region to season less with salt and oil (and never with sugar), relying mainly on the umami of highly concentrated dashi. Dark taste is typical of Tokyo and northern Japan, where the same dish would include more salt and soy sauce, oil (for example, pork fat), sugar, and a weaker dashi than the Kyoto version. This division parallels the "dashi family"—"not dashi family" dichotomy in wine.
Hence wines like fine champagne, with which Japan is fairly obsessed, and first-rate Riesling are felt to pair best with light taste cooking. "Parker type" wines go better with Tokyo seasoning. At the same time, a wine like an Henri Bonneau Châteauneuf-du-Pape stands with a foot in both camps, and it would be wrong to suggest all Japanese tasters think of their wines in black and white, or to imply that Robert Parker can't see the dashi for the fruit."
[From Peter Musolf review of "Dashi and Umami: the Heart of Japanese Cuisine" in the Journal of Wine Economics, Volume 4, Issue 1, Spring 2009]
ooh, mommy!
My friend Peter Musolf has written a marvelous review of a book entitled "Dashi and Umami: the Heart of Japanese Cuisine." His review appears in the current issue of the Journal of Wine Economics, and includes a thought-provoking discussion of the relationship between umami and wine, and some reflections on how it impacts wine palates and preferences in Japan. I have posted a link to the entire article at the end of this excerpt:
2 comments:
The average Japanese citizen does not drink wine, so to think they possess a discrete taste for 'umami' in wine is, well, reaching at best. I do agree there are different grades of seaweed (nori) that are easily discernible as well as regional distinctions in cuisine that are too easily defined here. Dashi (soup base) and even rice can be scrutinized down to its prefectural origins. However, the fact remains that Japan is a sake-drinking nation ("rice wine") with beer a close second.
The foods of Japan do not pair well with ultra-premium red wines simply because beef is not a staple in their diet. Don't expect wine to make serious inroads in this country, even with the new generation of Japanese. Orca International has some success due to its Tokyo location, but go out to the smaller cities and wine bottles basically do not exist.
Just my personal experience...but another fascinating topic you've exposed!

I'm no expert in Japan, so cannot comment on your comments, other than to mention that Japan is the leading foreign market for Washington wines, according to the Washington Wine Commission. I'm sure that the sales are in the big cities, and mostly in hotels and restaurants that cater to a business clientele, including non-natives. But still, someone is drinking wine over there!

Plans are afoot to move a statue, the Triumph of Civic Virtue by Frederick MacMonnies, from its home on Queens Boulevard to Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.
The statue should stay put.
The Triumph of Civic Virtue has spent its history at the center of controversy. First situated in City Hall Park, the statue was so despised by then-mayor Fiorello LaGuardia that he ordered it banished to Queens in 1941.
More recently, the statue has come under fire for being "sexist" because it depicts a nude Hercules standing on top of two female-like figures representing Vice and Corruption.
Now, it's at the center of a battle between the city and the borough's historic preservationists, who have long been calling on the city to restore the statue, which has deteriorated over the years.
The city has long said that it doesn't have the money to restore the statue. Step in the descendants of Frederick MacMonnies, who have said that they will pay to have the statue restored with one caveat: that it be moved to Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery, where several family members of the sculptor are buried.
Kudos to the MacMonnies family for stepping up and doing what the city should have done a long time ago, namely caring for this great work of public art.
And Green-Wood Cemetery – if the city has to move it – would be a fitting place for the statue, not only because it is the final resting place of members of the MacMonnies family, but because it is home to so many other great works of art. The Triumph of Civic Virtue would be right at home.
You know a place that doesn't have so many great works of art? Queens.
Sure, Flushing Meadows Corona Park has several notable objects left over from the World's Fair, but the history of Queens is slowly disappearing. The city even took its bridge away.
And it's not like this only became an issue when the city decided to move the statue; people in the borough have been advocating on behalf of the Triumph of Civic Virtue and calling for its restoration for years.
And the people who live in the statue's shadow don't take offense to it. The local community board has given its full support to restoring the sculpture and keeping it right where it is.
Since it was finished in 1920, the Triumph of Civic Virtue has stood at the center of so many different controversies, which makes its history all the more rich.
It should also continue to stand on Queens Boulevard.

The overnight event honored those whose lives have been affected by cancer. It featured music, food, entertainment and activities, while also raising money to support American Cancer Society's programs.
Survivors and caregivers were celebrated at the event with their own lap around the park's track, followed by numerous relay teams.
"It goes to show that no matter what, rain or shine, we have to be strong," said Josephine Luizzi. "We will come out and support each other because we have to save ourselves."
Luizzi, who is a breast cancer survivor, said it was amazing to see people involved and that it shows the community's unity and strength.
"We are survivors, we're caregivers, and we have to help each other rise above this damn disease," she said.
At night, dozens of bags were illuminated around the track to honor those who passed away from cancer, survivors, and those still fighting the disease as part of the Luminaria Ceremony.
"It really brings it home," said Sean O'Melia, who attended the event with his relay team.
O'Melia, who lost his aunt and a couple of close family friends this past year, said the event brings people together as they get to know one another and learn how to help others battling cancer, all while also keeping the memory of their loved ones alive.
"It's nice to see everyone together because you see how much of a wide impact cancer really does have on everybody," he said, "and how much it affects not just one person but the whole world."

A fantastic opportunity to see the tall ships Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain in Eureka, California.
Owned by Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority, the tall ships Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain operate to both promote and preserve maritime history and traditions by providing hands-on Sail Training and educational opportunities for adults and children alike.
Whilst the design of Hawaiian Chieftain was influenced by early colonial passenger and Atlantic coast packet service vessels, Lady Washington is a replica of her namesake 18th Century brig, which was the first US flagged vessel to visit Japan, Honolulu and Hong Kong, pioneering the pan-pacific trade.
Whilst in Eureka these beautiful tall ships will likely be offering a unique historical experience - battle sails. A family-friendly experience of tall ships sailing, complete with plenty of rope handling, shanty singing and perhaps even some cannon fire!
For details of the public opening hours and the battle sail schedule please refer to the official website as both are ticketed events that may require booking in advance.
Please note all dates may be subject to change and that in certain cases not all vessels may be visiting for the full date range given. Make sure to check official channels for updates and further details.

I'm not sure anyone really cares where Deadline's Nikki Finke lives, so when American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis tweeted that they lived in the same building, the world collectively shrugged and went back to its hoagie. Everyone except Nikki Finke, who reportedly called Bret Easton Ellis's agent at ICM and screamed at her assistant like she was in an Aaron Sorkin movie. Now ICM, according to the Hollywood Reporter (who, again, it should be noted, are arch enemies of Deadline), has hired "top litigators" to defend ICM, after Finke allegedly "told agents she will reveal their addresses, schools of their children, unless they cut ties with the star author."
Multiple sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that ICM Partners, the talent agency that represents Ellis, has hired litigation attorneys Howard Weitzman and Lawrence Iser to represent it in legal matters related to Finke, and the lawyers have fired off two separate letters to her website's owner demanding that she stop harassing agency employees.
The letters, according to sources who have seen them, claim Finke has been calling various ICM partners demanding that the agency sever ties with Ellis and provide his contact information. Sources who have seen the cease-and-desist letters say the letters also claim that Finke has told top ICM employees she would reveal their home addresses and where their children go to school. Finke also is alleged in the letters to have told at least one agent that she would write things damaging to the agency on the Deadline blog that the agency's executives believe to be false.
NIKKI FINKE IS DRUNK WITH POWER! THE POWER OF HAUGHTY BLOGS! I love the idea that she thinks she's got the ultimate ace in the hole, the ability to reveal the addresses of a bunch of people that no one gives a sh*t about except Nikki Finke and like three other people. They're celebrities' flunkies, they're not in the CIA.
"MWAHAHA! The DEADLINE is up! The reckoning is at hand! I shall now reveal the addresses of mine enemies!"
"What? Leave me alone, lady, I'm trying to pee. How did you even get in here?"
Also: ICM is one of the world's largest talent agencies. You really think they have to "hire litigators?" That's all they do. That's like the custodial company hiring someone who cleans toilets. No need to brag about doing something you were already supposed to have been doing.
