Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Clean Getaway
Vlad will give you this mission from the bar at the outset, but most of the instruction will come on the walk to his car, and in the car itself. Vlad has a bit of a drug problem, as you'll soon find out in the cutscene, but he'll give you a task totally unrelated to narcotics. This time around, instead of scaring store owners into paying him protection, he'll ask you to head to the ghetto to grab a car parked there. You can't drive there, either. No sir -- you have to take the subway.
Thankfully, the subway station (represented by a yellow dot on the HUD) is just up the street from the bar, so there's no need to jack a car to get there. Instead, simply walk or run there. Walk into the station and follow the on-screen prompts to the middle platform, where the train you seek is located. Once the train arrives, take it one stop over, which should bring you to the section of the borough called Steinway. It's here that the vehicle you are to steal, a silver Blista Compact, is located.
Nearby Yorktown Avenue is your destination. It's a dead end street due north from the station, and is easy enough to spot, especially with a turquoise blue blotch on your HUD representing its location. Approach the car, and you'll see a guy polishing it. As you get close to the car, Niko will talk to him automatically, and then he and his friend will go after you, even if you don't try to get into the car immediately. Your best bet here is to jump in the car as soon as you can and use it as a giant, several ton metal battering ram to eliminate the deadbeat and his friend. You might as well kill 'em with the very car they stole from Vlad.

concealed carry choice ?
Which would you choose between a Smith & Wesson 38 snub nose and a compact 45 acp or 9 mm auto ?

Way too general a question?
What are your carry preferences? IWB, pancake holster, paddle, crossdraw, 3:00, small of back, pocket, etc.? How compact a 9mm or .45?
For pocket carry I find lightweight snubs and very small .380 autos (like the Ruger LCP) to be the ideal combination of concealment and caliber. For IWB, an auto under 1.3" wide or a J-frame sized snub seems best because you want it to be narrow. Barrel length and butt height can be worked around, but I prefer a gun that is 5" or less tall and with a 4" or shorter barrel for IWB. For any kind of belt holster you can probably go bigger more comfortably, but concealment will be sacrificed the larger you go.
I have a number of carry guns to choose from when I am out of MD (I have a UT permit). I sometimes carry a S&W 1911SC (a lightweight Commander sized .45ACP 1911), a Taurus PT140 Millennium Pro (a compact .40S&W), a S&W 65LS (a 3" K-frame .357mag loaded with .38+P), or one of several snubs. I have just recently shot enough rounds through my Ruger LCP to be confident with that and it will likely replace my 442 as my pocket gun when used as a backup (I'll probably carry the .38spl 442 when the pocket gun will be the only gun). I've recently bought a SIG P290 (a subcompact 9mm) that has close to enough rounds through it for me to add it to my carry list, and I just bought a Kel Tec PF9 (another subcompact, pocketable 9mm) that I haven't shot yet. So, I have one of each (plus a few calibers you didn't mention).
Any will do the job. Find a gun and caliber combination that you like, that feels good in your hand, that will conceal how you want it to, and that you can handle well at the range (quick follow up shots, accurate shooting), and that should be your carry gun (or guns).

I prefer inside the waist band carry at about 3:00. As far as caliber is the 38 spl a good round or would a 9 MM be better ? How difficult is it to CC a commander size 45 acp ? I have a Colt gold cup and it is kind of big for CC.

I find a commander size easy to concealed carry. Of course I am a bigger guy and can concealed carry a full size 1911 without much of a problem.

I would choose whichever I shoot and handle best, if put to that kind of choice.
As it happens, I carry both a K-frame (3" HB Model 10), as well as two different compact-sized 9mm semi-autos. As well, I have a sub-compact sized 9mm semi-auto. I train and practice extensively with all three (the 9mm sub-compact is new to me - so I am not ready to carry that one yet). I feel equally at home with any of them - and equally protected.
The most important issue is training and preparation. That starts with familiarization with one's chosen carry gun.

I like both 9mm and .38spl. While the 9mm has more velocity and more power, the .38spl being a revolver round has the advantage of more efficient hollowpoint designs. The 9mm may be a little better overall for self-defense, and it is cheaper for practice ammo, but I am a big fan of both rounds.
As for the Commander sized 1911s (and other similar size and weight .45's), they are a great CCW weapon. I guess the question is if you want only one CCW gun or two. They are about 10oz lighter than a full-sized 1911. The height is the same. there is about a 3/4" difference in length. IMO they are good for about 75-85% of the time, but once in a while they may be a little big. If you want to buy a smaller gun for the once in a while that you need something smaller (maybe a lightweight J-frame or an LCP) it is a great CCW gun. If you want one gun that will work for about 90% of the time a smaller 9mm or .40 would be in order. Still, you'd need something smaller about 10% of the time. If you want one gun that you can always carry, something like a Kel Tec PF9, S&W Shield, SIG 290 or one of the small .380s are about as large as you can go.
We all know that any carry gun is a compromise. A gun small enough to carry all the time will either be in a lesser caliber (like .380) or it will be pushing the envelope on size for the caliber and be less pleasant to shoot. I think a Commander sized 1911 is a terrific carry gun, but it depends upon what compromises you are willing to make.

I would use whichever one I am the best with. Where you hit is the most important part of using a firearm for self defense.
Chaim: I would like to know what the more efficient hollow point designs are available for a .38 compared to what's available for a 9mm. Being as the .357 is my favorite round a more efficient hollow point is something that I would appreciate knowing about.

Thank you for the replies, I do carry a full size 1911 sometimes during the winter months when wearing bulkier clothing, but am looking for something smaller for summer months when wearing less clothing.

If you make some adjustments in clothing choice, you can carry a 1911 year round with little effort. I did it daily for the 20+ years I carried a 1911, and Im still doing it with a Glock 17 with no troubles.

I carry a full size M&P in jeans and a t-shirt. A commander size 1911 should be easy with a good IWB holster.

Depends on the dress situation and what you think you shoot well.
Shooting a snubby is not as easy as a semi. Some folks find 45s are harder to shoot.
If you own all, might be fun to try them in a IDPA match or the like.
Personally, I alternate between a 642 when pocket carry is the mode and a 9mm Glock for belt. I have a 1911 which I shoot in matches but it's touch to big for comfortable carry here. Yes, I know all the carry holster variants and have a closet box full of such.

I have a 642 and an LC9. Sometimes you feel like a 9 sometimes you don't.

I think Glenn has this right.
If my dress calls for pocket carry, then the j-frame gets the nod. Otherwise, inside the waistband with a full size.
I did look at the Kahr PM9, but found that the LONG trigger reset was problematic and awkward for me.

I carry a .38 snub in my right-hand pocket because it will not pull my pants down and the chances of actually having to use it very slight. Nevertheless, I never leave home without it.
Being a "revolver person", I have no idea what the others posting here mean by, "...Shooting a snubby is not as easy as a semi...". But then, I shoot one of my double-action revolvers nearly every day (I have a home range).

Would I choose???? Yes, I do all the time. Depending on where/when and how I want to carry at any particular time I carry either my S&W 638, Ruger SP-101 (.357) or SA 1911 Micro-Compact .45. Hell, Sometime I carry a Beretta .25. I'm just saying it's up to you to determine what and how many to carry.

Key players in Pakistan's upcoming election
President Asif Ali Zardari, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Nawaz Sharif and Imran Khan are the key players in Pakistan's upcoming national election that is expected in May.world Updated: May 07, 2013 13:03 IST
A look at several key players in Pakistan's upcoming national election that is expected in May:
President Asif Ali Zardari
The President rode to power on a wave of sympathy following the 2007 assassination of his wife, former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, but his tenure has been turbulent and he has long been plagued by allegations of corruption.
Zardari will not be participating in the upcoming election, but as co-head of the Pakistan People's Party, which led the last government, he will be a key figure. His unpopularity and anger over the performance of the government during its five-year term could damage the party's run in the upcoming election.
The economy is stuttering, energy shortages plague the country and Taliban militants continue to stage deadly attacks.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari
The only son of the president and his late wife, he is set to carry the torch for the Bhutto family political dynasty in Pakistan. His grandfather, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, founded the PPP and served as the country's president and prime minister.
He is too young to participate in the upcoming election - the minimum age is 25 - but will likely play a key role as co-head of the PPP with his father.
It remains to be seen how well the Oxford-educated youth can rally the party's largely poor, rural constituency in southern Sindh province since he has lived most of his life outside the country and is still working on his command of Urdu, the national language.
Nawaz Sharif
The head of the main opposition party, the Pakistan Muslim League-N, hopes to become prime minister for the third time. His party, which appeals to an industrialist base and is strongest in central Punjab province, is the PPP's main rival to form the next government.
Sharif was ousted as Prime Minister in a bloodless coup in 1999 by general Pervez Musharraf and was sent into exile the following year. He and Bhutto returned to Pakistan in 2007 to lead their parties in the 2008 elections. Bhutto was killed before the elections were held.
Imran Khan
Khan is a Pakistani cricket legend-turned-politician who could have a significant impact on the upcoming election. He founded Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, or the Movement for Justice Party, more than 15 years ago, but failed to gain much traction until 2011.
That year he marked his rise as a major political player with a rally that drew more than 100,000 people in Lahore, the capital of Punjab province. Khan has appealed to a largely young, urban constituency tired with the current crop of politicians and the corruption that plagues the system.
Analysts doubt his party can win enough seats to form the next government, but it could steal key votes away from the PML-N and the PPP, especially in Punjab, and that could affect who wins.

Senior Andrew Zelis and his Wheaton North boys basketball teammates were anxious to finally start their season Tuesday in Wheaton, but the first half didnt go so well offensively.
The Falcons trailed Hinsdale South by as many as 11 points. The 6-foot-11, Stetson University-bound Zelis, the Falcons top returning scorer, had 2 points on just two shot attempts.
That was a little frustrating, Zelis said. We all had little jitters, the first game out on the home floor, but in the second half we slowed down, we found where we were offensively and that really helped us out.
By the second half the Falcons were in midseason mode. They followed 22 first-half points with a 23-point third quarter, including a 10-0 run to take the lead for good, and they defeated the Hornets 75-61 in Dave Brackmanns debut as varsity coach.
Zelis scored 16 of his 18 points in the second half by hitting all six shots and four free throws. He had 12 in the third quarter with three straight baskets during the run to open a 41-34 lead.
We wanted to slow it down, get it in the post more and get into our offense and what weve been working on, Zelis said. To score 53 (points) in the second half, thats just our intensity on offense. And our defense created half of those points.
Zelis, Matt Biegalski and Jaylen Howze finished in double figures, Biegalski scoring 18 and Howze 16. The Falcons made 19 of 21 free throws. The Falcons led 45-38 entering the fourth quarter and 54-40 with 6:04 left before the Hornets (1-3) closed to 60-56 with 3:14 to play.
In a 35-second frenzy, Howze threw a full-court inbounds pass to Biegalski for a layup, and Zelis and Biegalski added layups to put the game away.
Everybody did really well, but (Zelis) kind of sparked us in that third quarter, Brackmann said. In the first half we played a little jittery. We challenged the kids a little bit at halftime to do what weve been working on. Andrew came out really aggressive in that third quarter.
The Hornets Marcel Phillips and Larry Motuzis each had 15 points, and Jerry Stoltz added 10.
Hinsdale South led 12-6 after one quarter and 19-8 two minutes into the second quarter. The momentum began to change after Biegalski had back-to-back 3s and a lay-in to cut the deficit to 3.
We were playing well. We could have really extended the lead, first-year Hinsdale South coach Tanner Mitchell said. We got real careless with the ball in the second half. We started to lose our defensive principles a little bit. They played well, but we helped them out, too.

Removed bullet was 'a few inches away from her brain,' mother of Falls girl, 2, says
Little J'raeona Moore has a long road to recovery, but she's lucky to be alive.
Doctors removed a bullet lodged in the right side of her face, after the 2-year-old was wounded in a drive-by shooting in Niagara Falls on Tuesday afternoon.
"Luckily, it was a few inches away from her brain," said ShaRonda Platt, J'raeona's mother. "She has no damage done to her brain, and I'm thankful for that."
Platt spoke to reporters about the shooting and her daughter's recovery Wednesday in Women & Children's Hospital, where J'raeona is in stable condition following surgery.
The Niagara Falls mother also had a message for her daughter's shooter: Turn yourself in.
"You did what you did. Now you have to do the time for this," Platt said. "I don't know who you are, but I will see you again face to face."
Police continue to search for the shooter and a four-door silver American-made car, likely a Pontiac or Taurus, with tinted windows and a rear spoiler.
Anyone with information should contact Niagara Falls police at 286-4711.
"We're looking for a person of interest at this time," said Niagara Falls Police Superintendent John R. Chella, "but we cannot call him the suspect."
J'raeona was in the back seat of their car when Platt and a male friend stopped at the Hometown Grocery at 17th Street and Pierce Avenue on Tuesday afternoon.
The 27-year-old single mother went into the store to pick up a few things, when she heard the gunshots coming from the parking lot. Platt turned around to see what had unfolded. She screamed as she ran from the store: "My baby in that car! My baby in that car!"
When Platt got to the bullet-riddled car, J'raeona was conscious but bleeding from two wounds to her face.
"She was on her knees, and I just grabbed my baby," Platt said Wednesday. "She was still in the back seat with the seat belt over her legs, so I undid the seat belt and I pulled her to the front and held her and just told him to get me to the hospital as quick as possible with my baby."
There's some speculation that the friend with Platt may have been the target of the shooters.
"We believe that someone had complications with the male, but we really don't know why," said Platt's pastor, Duane Thomas of Praise Temple in Niagara Falls. "They weren't shooting at [Platt]."
Capt. William M. Thomson, chief of detectives, said the man in the car fled after dropping Platt and the girl off at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center, but he was later found for questioning.
"He wasn't much help," Thomson said. Police have not publicly identified the man, and Platt refused to name him Wednesday.
"That doesn't matter," Platt said. "This is about my child."
Thomas said doctors removed the bullet near J'raeona's right cheek, as well as a bullet fragment on the left side of her face.
"It was the most devastating thing I've ever seen in my life," the pastor said.
A day after the shooting, Thomas was more hopeful.
"I went up there to see her today," Thomas said Wednesday. "The baby is doing well. She's doing so much better. She looks better – just a little swelling needs to come down."
Platt – who spoke to reporters while flanked by Thomas and her mother, Sandra Watson – was a little more guarded about her daughter's condition.
J'raeona suffered no brain damage, but she will need facial reconstructive surgery, and doctors are unsure how the injuries might affect her vision, Platt said.
"It's going to be a long way to recovery," Platt said. "There's a lot that's going on with her."
Thomas said his church plans to organize fundraisers to help the family.
Platt – who broke down in tears at one point – asked people to pray for J'raeona.
"She is very lovable," said Platt.
"She'll wake up in the morning and rub my head and rub my stomach," Platt said. "And if I'm crying, she'll wipe my tears and ask me if I'm OK."

Lygus is the single worst insect when it comes to unraveling an alfalfa seed grower's profit potential. In California's San Joaquin Valley, it's a season-long pest, moving between crops as plants become unsuitable hosts due to maturity or harvest.
"Lygus is the key insect pest, and by far the most difficult to manage, in alfalfa seed fields," according to University of California Cooperative Extension Farm Advisor Shannon Mueller of Fresno County. "When present in high numbers, lygus can completely destroy the crop."
Two lygus species threaten seed alfalfa — Lygus herperus and Lygus elisus. Adults and nymphs feed on the alfalfa plant by attacking reproductive parts, causing the premature drop of buds and flowers (stripping), seed deformation, and reduced seed viability.
Mueller addressed "Managing Lygus in Seed Alfalfa" at the Second International Lygus Bug Symposium at Pacific Grove, Calif. She and UC Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program Interim Director Peter Goodell compiled the presentation.
"What we really do is climb on to the carnival ride at the beginning of the season and just hang on until it's over — there's not very much management of lygus involved," Mueller quipped. Then she laid out the framework of chemical, cultural, and biological management strategies that can help reduce growers' lygus losses.
Chemical strategies
Chemical control is the most often-used and effective lygus control strategy in seed alfalfa; unfortunately, limited materials are available.
"If you're not growing corn, cotton, wheat, or soybeans, it's hard to get the attention of many chemical companies for seed alfalfa," Mueller said. "The companies can't justify spending the money needed to register a product for such a small commodity nationwide. Plus, trying to get a product registered in California is even more difficult."
Since chemicals are limited and a high potential for resistance exists, it's critical to maintain and preserve the efficacy of current registered chemicals, she noted.
Lygus are more resistance-prone due to their short life cycle, with many generations per year, a wide host range, and the exposure to many insecticide applications annually in seed alfalfa and other crops.
"The best insurance against insecticide resistance is rotating chemical controls and maintaining the insect's natural enemies in the field," Mueller said.
Biological strategies
"The most common biological control strategies are degree day models to forecast lygus development," she said. "Models utilize weather averages to predict the beginning of lygus hatch or migration."
Most models have been used to increase lygus-scouting efficiencies in strawberries and safflower in the Pacific Northwest. But Mueller said, similar efforts by several growers in California's San Joaquin Valley to predict first hatch and first emergence of lygus has yielded minimal success.
"If there's going to be success, it will be early in the season," she explained. "After that, we have multiple overlapping generations and models will not provide help in forecasting or predicting damage."
Naturally-occurring or released predators and parasites also offer biological control.
"Seed alfalfa growers should not assume this will solve their lygus problems, but it is something to be incorporated into an overall pest management strategy," Mueller said.
"Perhaps parasites or predators released in the foothills or some other unmanaged or uncultivated areas may allow the population of parasites and predators to build up and possibly prevent mass or early season migrations into crops."
Some California alfalfa seed growers have heard success stories from the Pacific Northwest and the Northeast with the parasite Peristenus, which attacks the lygus nymph and prevents the egg from developing into an adult.
Is the Peristenus located in the SJV? Unfortunately not, Mueller said. Millions of parasite samples taken in the valley have not confirmed a single positive find.
Cultural strategies
"In cultural control, we're hedging our bets on host plant resistance," she said. "The Seed Board for many years has funded the research work of UC Davis Alfalfa Geneticist Larry Teuber.
"It appears progress is being made toward developing alfalfa with resistance to damage from lygus feeding. We feel this is a direction that may benefit the seed industry."
A successful cultural strategy occasionally used in the SJV involves planting crops in large blocks.
"The growers separate alfalfa seed production from other crops with a wheat or small grain planting and put cotton elsewhere."
But Mueller said, few growers in the valley have that type of production system.
Strip or trap cropping won't work, since seed alfalfa is the most preferred crop for lygus, and this would attract lygus into the field. It's a good idea for seed alfalfa growers to be aware of the impact neighboring crops can have on lygus, she said.
Historically California has been the major seed producer in the U.S., but in recent years, production has shifted to the Pacific Northwest and to other countries.
Today, California's two major production areas are Fresno and Kings Counties in the central SJV and the Imperial Valley.
California farmers grow about 35,600 acres of seed alfalfa annually, yielding about 1.5 million pounds. Most is non-dormant seed and is exported, Mueller noted.
The seed alfalfa industry follows a general trend — a good year followed by an oversupply of seed, with price and acreage reductions, and then the cycle is repeated.
Lygus is a pest throughout the seed alfalfa season. "Once we clip back fields in early April to start the season, we start looking for lygus, and from May until the August harvest the pest is found," Mueller said.
In seed alfalfa, lygus adults and nymphs feeding on the plants affects the reproductive structure. When the plant is in the bud stage and early bloom stage, lygus can cause bud blasting or bud abortion.
"They also feed when the plants are in bloom, creating a stripping effect," Mueller said. The damage continues throughout the season.
"Even at the seed pod stage, the lygus probe through the developing seed pod into the seed and suck out the juices. The end result is a shriveled, dried seed. The grower may not even initially realize the extent of the damage."
Pesticide applications should coincide with the hatching of lygus broods. Treatment can be delayed until the egg hatch is complete, but shouldn't occur before the nymphs reach the fourth or fifth instar. Older instars and adults are more difficult to control with insecticides than younger instars, Mueller said.
Sponsors of the lygus symposium included the University of California Statewide Pest Management Program, the Arizona Pest Management Center, FMC, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Risk Avoidance and Mitigation Program.

Stuff to Read
June 21, 2011
In the current issue of Film Comment, the distinguished film scholar David Bordwell offers a vital piece called "Never the Twain Shall Meet: Why Can't Cinephiles and Academics Just Get Along?" In it, Bordwell points out that cinema, to a far greater extent than more rarified art forms (literature, visual arts, music, architecture), has inspired popular and scholarly traditions of criticism that rarely overlap. In fact, the approaches of popular film critics (or "cinephiles," as Bordwell calls them) and university scholars are so far apart that their members are often actively hostile toward one another. Bordwell, a career academic at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and also a blogger widely respected among unaffiliated movie buffs, is an ideal figure of compromise to broach the subject, and he concludes that a "hands across the aisle" rapprochement between the two camps could be brokered via the internet.
Sorry, but I'm not ready to surrender my arms just yet.
Bordwell's topic might seem like a pointless exercise in inside baseball, and one not particularly germane to this blog (although I will connect it to the subject of television, if you'll bear with me). But most of the other film critics and enthusiasts of my personal acquaintance hold strong opinions on the subject, and it has certainly colored my own fifteen years as a semi-professional media historian.
Bordwell's article resonated with me because it brought back a lot of memories from my own undergraduate education, which was perpetrated during the late nineties in the University of Southern California's cinema-television program. At the time, the program was dominated by scholars huddled under the umbrella of "Grand Theory" – a collection of cultural-studies disciplines (semiotics, reception studies, psychoanalysis, feminism & queer theory) which connected only tangentially to art appreciation and aesthetics. In practice, this meant reading a lot of essays about movies in which no individual film was discussed or even named. Bordwell uses the phrase "smother living work under a blanket of Grand Theory," and that accurately describes the dispiriting attitude I encountered all too often. Instead of embodying a broad curiosity about film as a medium, these cultural scholars tended to cherry-pick texts and trends that supported whatever specialty they had staked out on the Grand Theory map. (Bordwell: "the habit of interpreting films as charade-like enactments of theoretical doctrines.")
The few USC faculty to whom I was able to relate – like Rick Jewell, a rigorous historian of Hollywood production methods – seemed to exist on the margins of this not-really-about-films film school in which I found myself mired. I took what I could from teachers like Jewell, but on the whole I emerged from USC with a sense of resentment towards a curriculum that often seemed to condescend to the material I went there to learn about. A big part of that problem was the basic indifference or even contempt toward the craft of writing that I encountered in the critical literature I read. The impenetrability of academic writing is an old joke, but it bears repeating that, as Chris Fujiwara puts it in a response to Bordwell's article, "there is probably no professional sphere in which the lack of desire to write and the lack of interest in writing are more endemic than academia." My own formal education therefore had the effect of alienating me from its auspices: although I've occasionally written pieces that drew in part on some cultural-theory notions gleaned from college (for instance, this post-feminist reading of The Donna Reed Show), I've made a conscious decision to place my work on the popular side of cinephilia (or telephilia, as the case may be) because I want to reach an audience who will read about East Side / West Side or The Patty Duke Show because they want to, not because they have to. (Fujiwara: "The system of 'publish or perish,' together with the reliable assurance that what gets published will remain unread (not infrequently, I imagine, even by those who get paid to edit and review it), guarantees an abundance of terrible academic writing.")
One quibble I have with Bordwell's piece is that, perhaps for reasons of space, he uses the term "research" a lot without ever defining it precisely. For Bordwell, research seems to represent the serious work of scholars; whenever non-academics produce valuable research, it's a happy accident. (Bordwell writes that Joseph McBride's heavily footnoted Spielberg biography "is academic in the best sense.") Of course, Bordwell's own work is prodigiously detailed and specific (see, for instance, his blog post about flashbacks-within-flashbacks), so I suspect he would be surprised and disappointed by how infrequently I encountered the same breadth of curiosity and rigor among the faculty and grad students in my USC program. Bordwell suggests that "academic research is less geared to evaluation" but I often found that academics were highly evaluative. It's just that they were quick to judge texts based on their usefulness to a particular scholarly discipline or approach rather than on their value as art.
I hit my breaking point with this form of myopia when Jeff Kisseloff published his pioneering work The Box: An Oral History of Television 1920-1961 during my USC years. Kisseloff's book gave me more insight into understanding how television was made than anything I've read before or since. And yet, when I recommended it to one of my television professors, not only did she have no interest in teaching the book, but she wouldn't even read it. It was inconceivable to her that oral history could teach her anything useful about television. I encountered that attitude – that the work of the scholar should be abstract and contemplative rather than nuts-and-bolts – all the time, and it's why I take exception to Bordwell's non-definition of "research."
My own definition of research, then, would be along the lines of investigative journalism: perusal of archival records, excavation of contemporary publications, viewings of obscure works, and yes, actually talking to people who created the objects of one's study. Bordwell's implication that the success of non-academic scholar like McBride in this area was somehow exceptional offended me slightly because, in my view, McBride is the rule, not the exception. Much of the best movie and television history (if not always the best criticism, which is Bordwell's primary focus) is the work of outsiders, not of academics. Of course, that's the opposite of how it ought to be.
I promised to apply some of these thoughts to television, and I think the best way to do that is to question another generalization of Bordwell's: that mainstream or cinephile critics are mainly auteurists. I guess there's a broad tradition, perhaps more among editors than writers, of following the DGA's possessory-credit lead and referring to most films as the work of their directors, without any investigation of who actually did what; but I also think that many good mainstream critics are equally likely to come at movies from a context of national cinemas, movie star personas, zeitgeist notions, or any of a dozen other frameworks.
Anyway, it occurs to me that the idea of an auteurist approach breaks down completely when you try to apply it to television.
That's because the episodic director is rarely the primary creative force in television (except for cases where a Michael Mann or a Martin Scorsese directs an HBO pilot), and understanding the process of who fills that power vacuum is work that few mainstream (and academic?) critics have attempted. The "showrunner," a relatively new term and a relatively modern conception, has become a sort of default auteurist figure among television critics, but it's often misunderstood and selectively applied. Most critics probably don't realize that a showrunner may or may not be the same thing as an executive producer or a head writer (for instance, Dick Wolf's Law & Order shows and Jerry Bruckheimer's C.S.I. franchises all have their own showrunners, and yet more strongly reflect the sensibilities of Wolf and Bruckheimer). And I don't understand why Mad Men and Deadwood are widely understood as the singular visions of their particular creators, and yet I've never read any auteurist criticism devoted to, say, John Wells or Ryan Murphy (even though ER and The West Wing, once it passed from Aaron Sorkin's to Wells's control, have a great deal in common, and Murphy's superficially very different Nip/Tuck and Glee are of a philosophical piece). There are also cases where actors, cinematographers, executives, and other less-than-obvious figures who set the tone in television – not to mention exceptional television directors who really are auteurs but whose work is so spread out that they haven't been recognized as such – but I've seen little work that tries to grasp any of that.
The popular/academic schism in film culture in film culture may be bad, but at least it's indicative that some approaches have been codified. In the television realm, I sense that the academics are still chasing their trends instead of doing serious research (can I tell you how many Buffy-loving hipsters I ran afoul of during my USC sojourn?) and most popular critics are just trying to keep up with the screeners that land on their desks, without looking hard enough at the bigger picture.
Speaking of academics: Lynn Reed is a graduate student at Skidmore College who has been exploring ideas related to her master's thesis in a good blog. Her starting point is Mad Men, which she follows into tangents as inevitable as feminism and as unlikely as Remington Steele. Reed has a fascinating piece up about a Mary Tyler Moore-like sitcom that Sex and the Single Girl author Helen Gurley Brown pitched to Warner Bros. and ABC – in 1962. Needless to say, this proposed show that envisioned a female protagonist with a sometime boyfriend she "had no plans to marry" was a bit ahead of its time. I'd love to read what, if anything, resides in the Warner Bros. Archives at USC to document the reaction of the studio's television executives (at that time a typically cigar-chomping, old-school bunch) to Brown's salvo of premature feminism.
Speaking of journalists: My pal Tom Lisanti has a fine three–part interview with sultry France Nuyen on his blog. He doesn't say why it was omitted, but evidently the Nuyen profile is a leftover from one of his worthwhile books about sixties ingenues. Nuyen was Eurasian and hard to cast, but I always thought she was a subtle, wistful actress, with a sexy, marbly voice. Nuyen is pretty frank but Lisanti didn't get the one quote I was looking for – a response to the strange, cryptic, misogynistic barbs about his brief marriage to Nuyen that Robert Culp delivered on his I Spy audio commentaries. Culp evidently had some unresolved issues on the subject, and didn't mind telling the world about them.
And blogger Mel Neuhaus has another amazing three–parter, this one with child actress turned sixties ingenue Sherry Jackson. Jackson is forthright about her entire career, but the really eye-popping revelations come in the first installment, during which she reveals the truly toxic environment on the set of the happy-family sitcom Make Room For Daddy. The whole series (including part two and part three) is a must-read. There is equal room in my philosophy, I'm proud to say, for both thoughtful criticism of shows like Mad Men and salacious gossip about Danny "Plate Man" Thomas's kinky sexual proclivities.

Boston, Mass. -- The Miller Company, Inc. of Meriden, Conn. has agreed to spend $25,000 to purchase and provide emergency response equipment for the Meriden Fire Department under a settlement with EPA for claims that the company violated the Clean Water Act and federal regulations designed to prevent oil spills from reaching waterways.
The "supplemental environmental project" will improve the fire department's ability to respond to oil spills and other releases, which will help protect the environment and public health as well as enhance the safety of first responders. As part of the settlement, the company will also pay $7,500.
The Miller Company manufactures copper base alloys at its Meriden facility. According to the EPA complaint, the facility has a total oil storage capacity of over 50,000 gallons. On Dec. 21, 2010, an oil sheen was discovered in Harbor Brook, approximately 1.25 miles from the company's facility. Subsequent investigations by the company, the Conn. Dept. of Energy & Environmental Protection, and by EPA identified the source of the oil spill as an overfilled tank at the company's facility.
EPA's complaint asserts that the company violated the Clean Water Act by discharging a harmful quantity of oil into Harbor Brook, and for failing to fully maintain and implement a Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plan, as required by the Clean Water Act and Oil Pollution Prevention regulations.
The oil spill prevention regulations require that specific preventative measures be taken at facilities that store more than 1,320 gallons of oil, and which could reasonably be anticipated to release oil products into nearby surface waters or shorelines. These regulations help ensure that tank failures or accidental spills do not lead to oil contamination of surface waters, such as rivers or streams, which could harm human and ecological health.

"I was always tired. From the moment I would wake up in the morning until the time I went to bed I would have a lack of energy. It did not make sense for me to feel always tired yet I did. I have not ever led an extravagant lifestyle, I do not make it a habit of being on the run all the time, and I certainly do not have the stress level of other folks the way a single parent does."
That quote was from a patient suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, but needless to say there are many causes of illness which have similar effects. Sadly doctors frequently have difficulty differentiating the ultimate causes and aren't always able to provide relief from fatigue.
Common symptoms include (but are not limited to):
continuous low grade fever
joint pain
difficulties with short term memory
waking up tired on a daily basis
While any and all of these symptoms are attributable to a number of potential causes what should throw up a red flag for individuals suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is the continuous (hence: Chronic) nature of any or all of the aforementioned symptoms - the leading among them being always tired.
Sufferers Often Don't Know What's Going Wrong... or Even If Anything Is Wrong
As an example consider this patient quote: "Yet there I was, waking every day feeling lousy and being always tired. It just wasn't any way to live but I had been to the doctor numerous times, probably an average of three or four times a year for various ailments and just general malaise. It finally cam to a head one day this year when I had simply had enough. I was fed up with being always tired. I went to my doctor on a day I was feeling normal and said, 'Listen, today is like any other day for me, and I feel just plain lousy. I felt lousy yesterday, I feel bad today, and odds are pretty good tomorrow is going to be the same. I've had it!'"
Chronic Illness Comes from a Variety of Potential Culprits
Comments like these are common for people suffering from long term illnesses, whether it is an ingrained pitched battle with something like sinusitis, or perhaps continuing viral or strep infections. Inevitably what happens with these people feeling always tired is that something has got to give. Usually what gives ends up being the patient's spirit. Their desire to live life fully dwindles until they become a shell of their former selves. Sometimes it gets to the point where their own family members don't recognize the personality of their ill relatives anymore because they've become so withdrawn.
Diagnosis Perplexes Doctors
Diagnosis of chronic symptoms like these is extremely difficult for doctors because they are used to reacting to and treating short term issues, such as a cold or flu. Rest and relief medication are the normal prescription for short term sickness. Unfortunately many sufferers of longer term disease do not go back to their doctors after a few days when their being always tired has not subsided. Patients who trust their doctors too much and don't express the nature of continuing symptoms run the risk of not ever feeling better. Being always tired is just no way to go through life.
