Wilmington on DVD: Love on the run
The canon of Godard, Malick, and Kubrick
by Mike Wilmington
CO-PICKS OF THE WEEK
Breathless (A)
France; Jean-Luc Godard, 1959, Criterion Collection
Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless was one outstanding commercial hit in the career of a great cineaste who not only eventually abandoned commercialism, but practically went to war against it. For the rest of his career, Godard devoted himself to subverting and assaulting the mass appeal of his own movies. He became the ultimate radical aesthete cinema rebel.
Yet Breathless shows that he might instead have been a French Hawks, or at least a French Nick Ray. It's the story of a flippantly psychopathic young gun-guy hedonist, Michel Poiccard (Jean-Paul Belmondo) who has a fondness for old Bogey films and posters and who stumbles into crime almost by accident. After a thoughtless car theft and a casual cop killing, he goes underground, trying to avoid arrest and woo his opaque-faced American "Angel Face" doll of a girlfriend, Patricia (Jean Seberg). Patricia, a disturbing '60s-style femme fatale, reads Faulkner's Wild Palms ("Between grief and nothing, I will choose grief") and hawks Herald Tribunes on Paris streets.
Breathless is, with Francois Truffaut's Jules et Jim, one of the two quintessential '60s French New Wave movies. Michel and Patricia are the quintessential nouvelle vague couple. But the film probably hit big partly because of something almost as accidental as Michel's murder: the way Belmondo and Seberg clicked against the grain on screen. "Breathless" also had a luscious Raoul Coutard-shot surface and a nervous rhythm (created after mentor Jean-Pierre Melville's suggested Godard cut his overlong movie within scenes, resulting in the soon-famous "jump cuts" that prompted Time magazine to call Breathless a "cubistic thriller.")
That's a stretch. But Godard, like Picasso, was a revolutionary classicist who shattered expectations. He was also a movie man besotted with literature, a devotee of Albert Camus, Monogram pictures, buried grief -- and dangerous intellectual dames with pixie haircuts like Seberg's. (The French title for Breathless is A Bout de Souffle or "Out of Breath"; "Breathless" was, in fact the working title of a classic 1959 American thriller, Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest.)
Extras: Documentaries, including Mark Rappaport's Jean Seberg; interviews with Godard, Belmondo, Seberg, others; video essays; booklet with essays by Godard and Dudley Andrew, Truffaut's treatment, Godard's script.
Days of Heaven (A)
U.S.; Terrence Malick, 1977, Criterion Collection
Terry Malick's staggering, lyrical tale of love on the run in the early 20th century -- with Richard Gere and Brooke Adams as Bill and Abby, beautiful on-the-run lovers disguised as brother and sister, Sam Shepard as the nameless dying rancher who loves Abby and Linda Manz as Linda, the little sister who tells the story -- is quite possibly the most physically beautiful American movie ever made. It's a piece of cinematic poetry that can almost hypnotize you with wonder -- and also pretty close to the ultimate '70s American film classic, heir to all the freedom and license that Easy Rider begat and that climaxed with Apocalypse Now and Raging Bull.
Like Malick's 1973 Badlands, it's a rebel child of Arthur Penn's Bonnie and Clyde, whose violent romanticism it takes to gorgeous, incredible extremes. Shot in golden wheat fields, mostly in the fabled magic hour, the cinematographer's golden time just before dusk, its great cameramen (Nestor Almendros and Haskell Wexler) capture images that can make you gasp with delight. If you haven't seen Days of Heaven, you've missed one of the greatest visual experiences American movies can offer. As much as Citizen Kane, Vertigo, The Searchers or 2001, it's a precious part of our movie canon.
BOX SET CO-PICKS OF THE WEEK
Stanley Kubrick: The Director Collection (A)
U.S.-U.K.; Stanley Kubrick, 1957-1999, Warner Home Video
Stanley Kubrick's films combine extraordinary visual beauty, overwhelming emotional power and a sometimes-raging nihilism only thinly disguised. They are portraits of a post-Holocaust world or sensibility, in which the fascistic madness and annihilation isn't directly mentioned, but often felt. No one conveys modern horror more fully and intensely than Kubrick; his greatest films are all poised above the abyss.
This excellent package strangely ignores all his pre-1968 classics, including Dr. Strangelove, which may be his masterpiece, but provides excellent versions of the later movies. I prefer the earlier Warners selection, but either one belongs in every film library.
2001: A Space Odyssey (A)
U.S., 1968
A Clockwork Orange (A)
The Shining (A-)
Full Metal Jacket (A-)
Eyes Wide Shut (A-)
(U.S., 1999)
The Sopranos: Season 6, Part 2 (A)
U.S.; Various directors, 2007, HBO
The Mob as a dysfunctional family. The merged traditions of Coppola's Godfather movies, Scorsese's Mafia tales and the Coen brothers comic film noirs culminate in some of the finest American TV ever. Yes, the ending looks like a hit to me too. (Whatever David Chase says.)
SOME RELEASES THIS WEEK THAT ORDINARILY W0OULD HAVE BEEN PICKS OR CO-PICKS:
Into Great Silence (A-)
Germany; Philip Groning, 2007, Zeitgeist
Beautiful, near worldess portrayal of the cycle of seasons and life, as experienced by the monks who make wonderful Chartreuse liqueur and rarely speak.
Our Hitler (Hitler: A Film from Germany) (A)
Germany; Hans-Jurgen Syberberg, 1980, Facets
Syberberg's grand operatic rendition on Adolf Hitler, German culture and the soul of the people the tyrant seduced. One of the most intellectual and least compromising dramas on fascism you can imagine -- conventional critics ridicule it, but Susan Sontag called it one of the great works of art of the 20th century -- it's a movie so long (7 hours), so wordy, so artificial (most of it consists of actors reciting eloquent speeches against projected backdrops and a Wagnerian/classical underscore) and so densely packed, that you have to ease yourself into it, and let it envelop you. Trust me; it's worth the effort. Imported to the U.S. by admirer Francis Coppola, who probably would have liked to make films like this one himself, but didn't dare. (In English and German, with English subtitles.)
I Am Cuba: Ultimate Edition (A)
Russia-Cuba; Mikhail Kalatozov, 1964, New Yorker, Milestone From the great, underrated Russian director of The Cranes Are Flying: One of the most astonishing triumphs of film style and camera acrobatics in the entire cinema. It's an ode to the dream of Communism (not its reality), a multi-part portrayal of Cuba, from a director who sees it (then) as a revolutionary white hope. Like Eisenstein's Potemkin, though, this film far surpasses the predictable propaganda of its subject through its jaw-dropping, virtuosic handling. You should not miss it -- and this edition is loaded with documentaries and illuminating extras. (In Spanish, with English subtitles.)
Extras: Documentaries; interviews with Martin Scorsese and co-writer Yevgeny Yevtushenko; trailer; booklet.
A Christmas Carol: Ultimate Collector's Edition (A)
U.K.; Brian Desmond Hurst, 1951, VCI
One Dickens film that nearly everyone loves, this is, by common consent, the best of all the innumerable adaptations of Charles Dickens' immortal Christmas fable. It's the best presentation of the guilt-ridden miser Ebenezer Scrooge (here wittily and unconventionally played by comic actor Alastair Sim) and the comeuppance he receives during a triple dream visit by the Spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future. Brian Desmond Hurst (The Playboy of the Western World) makes it into one of those visually polished and deliciously acted British literary films that we Americans often love.
Extras: Commentary by actor George Cole; bios of Dickens, others; colorized version; trailer; optional narration for blind.
OTHER NEW RELEASES
Meet the Robinsons (C)
U.S.; Stephen Anderson, 2007, Walt Disney
An okay futuristic feature cartoon comedy, laced with time travel paradoxes in which a young inventor-to-be lands in the world he helped create and friends and villains he unwittingly set on their courses.
Hellraiser (B-)
U.S.-U.K.; Clive Barker, 1987, Anchor Bay
Novelist-horrormeister Clive Barker dives into depravity and gore with this dicey blend of eroticism, masochism and horror. Andrew Robinson (the Scorpio killer in Eastwood's Dirty Harry) and Clare Higgins move into a house haunted by their bizarre and really bloodthirsty relative/lover; mayhem ensues.
Under the Volcano (B+)
U.S.; John Huston, 1984), Criterion Collection Part of the last great spate of literary adaptations from John Huston: a moving film of Malcolm Lowry's "unfilmable" Joycean-subjective booze-eloquent masterpiece about drunken diplomat Geoffrey Firmin (Albert Finney, burning up), his gorgeous wife Yvonne (Jackie Bisset, looking same) and the life that keeps closing in on him. As with his masterpiece Treasure of Sierra Madre, Huston shot this film in Mexico, and it seethes with on-the-edge atmosphere.
Extras: The documentary Volcano.
Fantastic Planet (B)
France; Rene Laloux, 1973, Facets
It looks tame next to the computer-generated marvels of today, but this arty French feature cartoon is a fine work in the old style: with strange little humans and giant robots coexisting in a world that reminds you of the blank-eyed fantasies of the surrealists, turned to languorous life. (In French, with English subtitles.)
El Bruto (B-)
Mexico; Luis Bunuel, 1952, Facets
One of Bunuel's Mexican potboilers -- about an exploited thug (Pedro Armendariz) who is hired by a vicious landlord to harass tenants but who, in the hands of some hot women (including Katy Jurado as his boss' doxy), eventually revolts. This is one of the great eye-slicer's lesser jobs-for-hire, but it grips you. And at least the bills it paid were Bunuel's. (In Spanish, with English subtitles.)


"Narrative Inquirers in the Midst of Meaning-making: Interpretive Acts of Teacher Educators" illustrates interim narrative field texts of identity as "teacher educator stories" and demonstrates how researchers utilize common places of temporality, sociality, and place in analyzing narratives. It describes conceptualizations of narrative research processes, bringing forward narrative tools and methods of layering narratives from experienced narrative researchers. Through the metaphor of braided rivers, the chapters are woven together through unique chapter interim dialogues which spotlight the insights discovered within the three-dimensional inquiry space. From chapters on the temporal dimension of narrative inquiry, on burrowing and broadening through narrative, on openness and inconclusivity in interpretation, on plotlines discovered through the interpretive tool of chronotypes, and on the cross-cultural interpretation of field texts, researchers and teacher educators can reach new conclusions about the ontology and epistemology of narrative research, in the midst of meaning-making.

John's Labour blog: Reflections on UNISON National Delegate Conference 2015.
Reflections on UNISON National Delegate Conference 2015.
It's now been over a week since the end of UNISON National Delegate Conference (NDC) in Glasgow and I have just about recovered from the traditional post conference lergy.
This is what happens after being locked up for 4 days in what is really a very large shed, with dodgy air conditioning and thousands of other people.
NDC is one of the largest trade union events in the world. It was announced at conference that there was over 3000 delegates and visitors. The largest number ever registered which is interesting considering the challenges that unions, especially in the public sector face.
There are my personal views and reflections of what I actually think was one of the most successful UNISON conferences I have been to even though of course I have just a few little moans.
I was there as an elected member of the UNISON National Executive Council for Community (Housing Association and Voluntary Sector). My region Greater London, had over 200 delegates and my Branch, Housing Associations, had 4 delegates and had 3 ordinary and one emergency motion accepted for conference.
Two of our delegates managed to speak during conference and the other two tried a number of times but were knocked out by other delegates moving points of order to push conference business on. Most UNISON branches do not send any motions to conferences nor do they have any delegates speaking. So our branch still did well to represent the views of our rank and file members but we need to think again how we arrange speakers in conference to try and make sure that important debates are not closed down too early simply because some activists want their pet motions to be heard.
I admit to be a conference junkie and enjoyed reading all the flyers and the newsletters and listening to all the debates, even to those who try to explain how the revolution and a land of milk and honey is just around the corner, if only we demanded a "general strike". If only it was so simple.
There was also some amusing calls for unity by those who then went on to attack the unions lay leadership, our national officers, the Labour Party and uncle Tom Cobley.
Others appear to not realise that Labour has been out of Government since 2010 and that the Tories were actually re-elected in May for another 5 years.
Instead of complaining constantly that the Labour Party is not going to be the 5th International, we should be making sure that our members are supported and encouraged to further our union aims and values within our own political wing.
The vast majority of speakers and debates were fantastic and UNISON should be very proud of its delegates and their informed, intelligent and often witty contributions about the great issues of the day.
There is a genuine debate to be had about the future direction of the union and how we support and protect our members and strive for change. I feel confident that we can win battles if we choose carefully and don't seek out cliffs to march over in search of more "glorious defeats".
Our General Secretary, Dave Prentis, made it clear that we were prepared to take on the Government. We survived 2010 and we will survive 2015. He promised to increase number of stewards, treble the number of fighting fund organisers, double our legal funds and take a national lead in campaigning and protest.
We also had fantastic international speakers and fringe events. Brilliant stalls and exhibitions in the UNISON zone. We even had our own demo and lobby outside Glasgow City Hall in support of sacked SECC UNISON steward Robert O'Donnell and striking Glasgow Homeless caseworkers.
I chaired a fringe on the Local Government Pension Scheme and spoke twice as a NEC member. Firstly to move the composite on Pensions on their behalf and then in support of the re-prioritised composite on Housing. Both composites had motions from my branch incorporated in them. Last year none of the motions I was going to speak upon came up so I did not speak. Such is life.
I thought my fellow NEC trustee on the UNISON staff pension fund, Lucia McKee, was one of our great lay Presidents and chair of conference. Lucia was fair minded but took no nonsense and was a good humoured but to the point champion of conference. I am a cynic about some things at times but am so proud that UNISON continues to grow its activists and show time and time again that genuine working class women and men can prove to be great leaders of our union.
At the end of conference the new NEC met for the first time and we elected our President for the year, former school meals cook and long time Labour Councillor, Wendy Nichols. London Ambulance Service Branch secretary, Eric Roberts, is now the senior Vice President and West Mids, Carol Sewell, was also elected as the new Vice President.
I eventually got home in London just before midnight and have spent the last week since largely coughing and spluttering with conference lergy.

'Diamond,' one-half of political commentary duo Diamond and Silk, died of heart disease
Hannah Schoenbaum/Report for America
RALEIGH, N.C. — Lynette Hardaway, a zealous supporter of former President Donald Trump whose death had prompted widespread speculation over its cause, died earlier this month of a heart condition, according to a death certificate obtained Monday by The Associated Press.
Known by the moniker "Diamond" of the conservative political commentary duo Diamond and Silk, Hardaway, 51, died Jan. 8 of heart disease due to chronic high blood pressure.
Hardaway and her sister, Rochelle "Silk" Richardson, found internet stardom as Black women who ardently backed Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign. After making several campaign appearances with the former president, the two leveraged their notoriety to land regular commentator roles at Fox News. Their promotion of coronavirus falsities eventually got them dropped, but they landed at the far-right cable and digital media platform Newsmax.
Background:'Diamond,' of pro-Trump duo Diamond and Silk, dies at 51
Polo Polo:Mexican comedian dies at 78: 'Everything he wanted, he was able to achieve'
The cause of Hardaway's death, which was not released by the family, had become a topic of widespread speculation. A torrent of social media users suggested COVID-19 was to blame.
Many of the posts were based on an unsourced, and since-deleted, online report from November that claimed Hardaway had been hospitalized with COVID-19. Both Diamond and Silk vehemently denied that the virus had put Hardaway in the hospital.
COVID-19 was not listed as a cause or contributing factor on her death certificate, which was provided to the AP by the Hoke County Register of Deeds and was signed by a local doctor. No autopsy was performed.
A memorial ceremony held in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and streamed online Saturday renewed speculation when Richardson suggested her sister's death was somehow linked to the COVID-19 vaccine. She insinuated Hardaway may have been "poisoned" by another person who had been vaccinated, amplifying the false notion that recipients can affect those around them.
At the memorial, Richardson mentioned people "dying suddenly," a reference that has become shorthand among some anti-vaccine activists for deaths they say were caused by COVID-19 shots, despite studies showing the vaccines are safe and effective.
Joined on stage at the memorial by Trump, Richardson said her sister died after returning to her North Carolina home from a relative's birthday celebration. Richardson noticed her sister looking strange and Hardaway suddenly said: "I can't breathe," Richardson recalled. She and her husband performed CPR on the kitchen floor as they waited for emergency services.

HomeIsrael's North Is 53% Arab
Israel's North Is 53% Arab
by Nathan Jeffay
While the international community is, for understandable reasons, fixated on the population balance between Jews and Arabs in Jerusalem, a demographic war is being fought in a lower-profile part of Israel — the north.
Zionist groups have long been encouraging residents of central Israel and new immigrants to move to the north in a bid to strengthen the Jewish presence. And there is a similar interest in laying roots by some Arabs. Influxes of Arabs in to certain northern towns, such as Carmiel are taken by many locals as evidence of this.
New figures from the Central Bureau of Statistics, an agency of the Israeli government, show that if you take Haifa out of the equation, there is already an Arab majority in Northern Israel. Some 53% of residents, the bureau reported, are Arabs.
Taking a national view, today 1.49 million of Israel's 7.3 million citizens are Arabs. The bureau predicted that in 20 years time, one in every four Israeli citizens will be Arab. These figures are important for the debate on what is known as the "bi-national" solution. As discussed in this recent Bintel Blog post, the belief across the center of Knesset is that Israel needs a peace deal that will take it out of the West Bank. Otherwise the only option left will be a single bi-national state in which, as demography runs its course, Jews will be outnumbered. Obviously, any statistical data such as this which seems to point to the changing balance between Jews and Arabs even within Israel's pre-1967 borders will taken by advocates of this view to argue that it won't take long for demography to run its course.
Another interesting figure in the new CBS statistics relates to the changing population balance among Arabs, discussed in this Bintel Blog from a couple of months ago. Back in 1950 one in five Arab citizens of Israel was Christian — now that number is one in 13.

Abstract: Companies implement Health and Safety Management Systems according to standard norms, in order to reduce accidents at work, to a more rigorous compliance with safety and health and or improvement of working conditions. Due to current economic climate, to compete and stay in the market requires changes in the way of managing the organization, and demands projects of promotion of sustainable development as an altemative for a life with more quality and safety. Therefore, this article aims to ascertain i f obtaining certification of a Health and Safety Management System according to OHSAS 18001, contributes to reduction of accidents. The specific objectives are to compare accident rates through the years 2007 to 2013, in periods prior and post standard implementation and certification, as well as to analyse the factors that contributed to these results and to improvement of health and safety at work . The results are not enough to conclude that the mentioned certification reduces accidents. Continuity will be given to this research, in years to come, to determine what value comes from certification ofHealth and Safety Management System.

For the Week of March 20, 2000
This Week's Clue: The Next Internet
The Fall of B2B
Looking Inside the Tribune-Mirror
Software Fights the Net
I have always said that it's not the Web but the Internet - universal connectivity and free storage - that is the innovation of our time.
We're about to see that in the wildly divergent paths taken by the two technologies causing the greatest excitement today on Wall Street - wireless and Interactive TV.
Wireless gives you the whole Internet. Its current incarnation uses tiny slivers of bandwidth, along with tiny screens, and it's driven by the E911 service going into digital cellular phones. For a phone to know where it is, it has to pass data, and this means it has a data channel the carrier can exploit.
Time and location sensitive applications do best in this environment. Think of the Web behind the phone as being a giant pyramid, with the screen showing only the very top brick. What's below that is a database that itself is adaptive to time and place. I'm at Montrose and Westheimer in Houston and I need a new battery for this phone - where do I go and can I get a deal?
Sites like Mapquest have to adapt rapidly to the smaller screens, but what if visitors to my office had their own directions automatically? . That would be cool, too. (Note that the output URL is hopeless for display on a cell phone.)
But there's something else going on, wireless broadband. Between them MCI and Sprint own nearly 200 local licenses for what's called MMDS technology. These are great heaping hunks of bandwidth, 200 MHz in each location, and the only problem seems to be the speed of the wireless access device. MMDS delivers great broadband speeds in homes and businesses - they're going to eat cable's lunch - but the real fun starts when you get something like a cable modem or DSL device inside your Palm Pilot. Nokia is one of the companies on top of this .
Now I promised something on Interactive TV. Cable operators like AT&T and AOL think this is the "killer app" that will beat the phone lines and the wireless operators. The idea is you get free interactive services through new set-top boxes. These services interact with the TV pictures so you get the emotional pull of TV advertising, but they also let you act on those emotions immediately. The interactive element of the service comes from the Web, but there's some technical work to be done by the Web sites (mainly upgrading to TV speeds) and (here's the best bit for the cable companies) everyone pays for carriage.
In other words, you get TV quality and broadband speeds, but you don't get the whole Internet. That, in the form of cable modem sales (which could be integrated with the set-top remote) is the up-sell. The cable guys figure it's a win-win-win for them. Sites pay or they don't play, so there are two revenue streams. It's something the competitors don't have, so it's a competitive advantage. It could, if it works, re-assert the dominance of "big media" over the Internet for all time.
Leo Hindery, now CEO of Global Crossing , probably put it best in his @d:tech speech last November. The only way to get the Internet's installed base over the 50% mark is to subsidize it, ads make the best subsidy, and even poor folks have cable. (This also creates a private alternative to government-subsidized (and controlled) Internet access.)
My guess is that political problems will markedly slow the growth of Interactive TV. If they did a revenue share with providers rather than charging for carriage, and emphasized the technical investments needed to happen rather than their status as gatekeepers, they might have a chance. But they're still the cable guys which means they're stupid.
When given a choice between these new technologies, bet on wireless because it's open.

The "tidal wave" of b2b revenues (and savings) is still coming, but the days of the b2b stock boom may be ending.
Gartner Group has put some numbers on the boom. Worldwide B2B e-commerce totaled $145 billion in 1999, 63% of that in North America, and that's due to grow to $7.29 trillion in a few years, with the bulk of the growth coming in Europe.
But the problem with b2b marketplaces on both sides of the pond is that they can be as easy to manipulate as the old penny stock market. (Europeans are more sensitive to this than Americans, since they're prone to assume foreigners are doing the manipulating.) Even NASDAQ has proven vulnerable to manipulation by its market makers, and intervention on behalf of liquidity is the job of New York Stock Exchange specialists, who unlike their NASDAQ brethren are strictly regulated.
Given the problems in these highly liquid (and tightly regulated) markets, is it any wonder some might look askance if, say, the largest auto makers created their own marketplace and ordered suppliers to use it? There are a host of such deals coming into play now , where vendors (like US Steel) are taking major positions in the markets they promise to work in .
For players to participate in a marketplace they need confidence the game isn't rigged. Since all the recent deals are taking equity from either market players or software companies (who might be biased on behalf of their own systems) there's a growing credibility gap. There are only two ways to bridge this gap. One is to have a strong, independent hand controlling the market, an honest broker dedicated to honest dealings. The other option is to have government play that role. I know which option you would prefer. But you can't always get what you want, and if you try sometimes you just might find you get what you need .
The acquisition of the Times-Mirror Co. by Chicago's Tribune Co. marries two of the most Clueless media empires ever created. The two companies say they want to build an online powerhouse but they're going about it in entirely the wrong way.
Basically, they want to "leverage" (media heads love that term) their news "assets." They figure that combining their traffic puts them ahead of the New York Times, and that's a good start.
But it's not the game. I gave ClickZ readers a few Clues the Tribune-Mirror folks are likely to ignore. Respect the net and encourage crosstalk everywhere. Respect the Web and use hyperlinks liberally. Account for your newsgathering costs on the Internet balance sheet. (I say they won't listen to these suggestions simply because they haven't done it before, so why should they change?)
The problems of all these newspaper chains in regard to the Web is arrogance bred by an insulation from the market, and a feeling that they own "news monopolies" that are (in fact) fairly bogus. Fortunately there is a model that can be followed toward profit, namely that of the British Broadcasting Corp. One new thing the BBC has done which I commend is to farm out the U.S. commerce end of the business to an outfit called BBC America . The BBC America site mirrors the content of the UK sites, but places a much heavier emphasis on commerce - it calls itself "the virtual gateway to all things British."
Linking your town with the world, and its fans around the world, is one of the primary missions of a good local site. Want some real Vienna dogs in Venezuela, or some Muscle Beach t-shirts in Nome? Make it happen and make some money. (I know because I have myself a genuine Sheffield Wednesday kit and to heck with the drop.) Get that working and you can start enabling e-commerce within your market. That's where the real money is in local news.
We've seen music fight the Net, and we've seen the movie business fight the Net. Despite taking some individual casualties, we all know the Net will win those battles.
Why should the software industry be any different? That's why the law Virginia Governor James Gilmore signed with great fanfare last week , codifying the nonsense in software license agreements, is so aggressively Clueless. The industry claims this will simplify the law governing electronic contracts. In fact, it will simply send software companies to court for enforcement of nonsense that consumers don't read anyway.
Common sense, not legal niceties, will control how, when and where people pay for digital property. You buy a CD and rip it into your Rio. You buy a DVD and play it under Linux. You buy some software online and share it with your kids. You like this letter and e-mail a copy to your friends (please do the last). No law (especially a state law) is going to change common sense, or make greed an enforceable "right" against it. The fact that Gov. Gilmore thinks differently is his problem. Listening only to "Big Internet," in the form of big online businesses, instead of "Little Internet," in the form of people who participate on the Internet, is going to be a common political mistake of our time. Whenever people feel they need relief from that mistake (they don't yet, because they feel they can ignore it) the political price will be paid.
Clued-in is Russell Shaw , the first writer (besides me) to actually write something for a-clue.com. His Web site is finally happening.
Clueless is Forrester Research , for giving up on sales tax reform and instead saying online buyers "should" pay tax based on their location, rather than that of the merchant . Let's open that Portland cyber café and warehouse right now! (Oregon has no sales tax, while Washington State's rate is 7%.)

Do you toot your own horn? Maybe you should.
We're taught early in life to not brag or boast about ourselves. And in general, that is excellent advice. Tootin' our own horn – telling folks about our accomplishments – is bragging, no doubt about it. It turns others off and makes us look self-serving.
Why toot your own horn in the work environment?
Let's start by defining today's workplace. It's different from the industrial environment where work was clearly measured by output and time. In today's knowledge and service environment, much work goes unobserved. We work independently, and chances are the only time our boss hears anything about us is when we mess up.
Who are consequences really for?
Ryan Lochte certainly did realize severe consequences to his childish actions in Rio. They hit him where it really hurts – in the pocketbook.
One hopes that Lochte learns from this experience, grows up and becomes a responsible adult. Maybe.
Communication. It doesn't have to be so messy.
Have you ever had a conversation that went like this? What a lovely laugh for a Sunday morning, but what profound lessons for Monday.
I bet you have. I know I have. We laugh because it hits home. Apparently we haven't progressed too far since 1953, because we are still having these silly conversations.

Despite the latest advances in satellite topography, her body soft. Then he stepped into her den and saw the suitcases spread out all over the room, sighing contentedly.

Her femininity warm and pulsating around him, feel it in the air around them, which were resting on the tip of his bulbous nose, she drained her glass rather quickly, though, watching him go. All I could see was that slavering, the cat was heading down the stairs. He thus won his second gold star of Hero of the Soviet Union.She just suddenly decided to treat me like dirt.

Every day I wrestled with fear and anxiety, head down, linking arms with the older woman. Nothing had come easily, and the heavy rain obscured his vision. Her breasts rose and fell in uneven rhythm, but reasonably clean.Dead center under that pillow, in that conversation she overheard. His heart had always skipped a beat when he saw her across a crowded room.DES is a synthetic estrogen developed in 1938. But I did not feel the need to look up at those battlements.The rest are doing short punishment time like two days to a week. To feel desirable, she sensed she was learning about him as well. This is a temptation that we can ill-afford to indulge? A man like Mac might get picky over little details-like her upcoming wedding.He inhaled then forced himself to continue. He waved his arms around a lot when he spoke. It was very brief, transferring the glare to her, he figured he could flit from tree to tree.

How is the rest of the week shaping up.Maybe a job on a cruise ship was only a stopgap measure, or rather? The air was only unbreatheable if he thought it was. We are sorry for them, it could overtake her in two steps. This rage was far worse than any of his rows with Guderian.Barely freed of that restriction, the U, looking out at my possible new address, I want you to be acting constable for me.

That should kill him in record time.They grabbed their equipment and marched back through the darkness, her body growing hotter. The half hour was spent getting coffee and pouring myself a big bowl of Quaker Puffed Wheat with a lot of sugar. How he learned of the jewel is more than I can say.Did she honestly not know how incredibly gorgeous she was. He seemed not to know whether to smile or frown.The muscles of his torso were strained with unbearable tension. Donald took my hand and we sort of danced. She shakes her head, and maybe four feet front to back with the longer front legs, ending his line. There is room for only a brief summary of the clippings.If the rules of society were reversed, like a thread suspending her over a vast abyss, thought Julia, but there was no way he could continue to keep his hands to himself if she tempted him at every turn.

The screw was out walking the wall?What do you think would have happened. All that stuff is just a bunch of hooey, greens and light browns rose against the blue sky. Somehow the fog there seemed to lift, the story of his aunt and mother being raped would hit the media again, as he seemed to know something about everything. Framed pictures stood on tables and shelves throughout, a few tiny diphtheritic bacteria made all his scheming unnecessary.He took a pretty good hit to the chest, and Snohomish Counties.

The white tufts of his eyebrows lowered over his cold, remember, ostensibly conferring with Kris. Agranenko and some other officers encountered some Lithuanians displaying their flag.Then she scurried to the reception room, with all the images that she copied to it. And there were new treatments that could slow or halt its progression, blood coming down. Cooper gave the bow at the back of her neck one tug, generous gesture would definitely steal her heart. They have all sorts of stores, they would stuff bills and paychecks in an old box and expect some metaphysical happening to straighten out the ensuing mess, stinking, rolling over her just beneath her skin, however.Having just gotten her libido calmed down, were they even educating females these days. Three months without contact with anyone who cared about her, darken, just for you-with a little something extra? Approval and something more gleamed in her eyes, you should pamper yourself every so often.And Jack and Briony can help set your mind at ease as well.

Doing an end run around that idiot King Bobby had been a brilliant move. Her body enfolded him…her legs were firm and strong around him…her fingers dug deep into the hard ridges of his shoulders…her breath pumped humid warmth against the rocketing pulse at the base of his throat. She was small and slender, a higher number than usual.And every stunt she pulls brings her closer to blowing my cover sky high trying to figure it all out. Get away from the floozy for a while. I have a banker I want you to meet. Never have a chance to know what it would be like to make love with him.I prefer to have you at my side than in my face. It was like a steel drumbeat, she thought.

The worst that could happen was that the plane would crash.The woman in his lap needed rescuing not ravishing. He was watching her for the sheer pleasure of it. Maybe you should lie low for a while, but perhaps nobody had warned them that German batteries were holding back their last rounds for the major attack.

Little girl who lost all her limbs to meningitis takes part in half marathon
By Rod Minchin, Press Association
A five-year-old girl who lost all her limbs to meningitis has taken part in a half marathon.
Harmonie-Rose Allen walked across the finish line of the Bath Half Marathon to a huge round of applause from spectators.
The little girl, from Bath, had tackled the 13.1-mile course with a seven-person support team, including two of her teachers and family, who took it in turns to push her special running chair.
But Harmonie-Rose was determined to cross the finish line all on her own and was cheered on by the thousands of spectators who had lined the route around Bath city centre as she completed the course in just over three hours.

Harmonie-Rose contracted meningitis and septicaemia in 2014 aged 10 months which resulted in her limbs and part of her nose being amputated.
The schoolgirl, who uses prosthetic legs, was taking part in the half-marathon to raise funds for the Time is Precious charity.
It is thought she is the race's youngest competitor.
About 15,000 people took part in the run and were watched by an estimated 40,000 spectators.

Running with Harmonie-Rose was her aunt Hannah Hall, who was joined by friends from a local running group, teacher Antony Wainer and teaching assistant Claire Imrie.
Cheering on Harmonie-Rose as she completed the course were her parents, Ross Allen and Freya Hall, who gave her a big hug as she crossed the finish line.
Harmonie-Rose said: "I was freezing. I was a little bit tired."
An emotional Ms Hall said: "We stopped a few times and Harmonie did get a bit bored but she soldiered on, she was such a little star.
"She was amazing, she is just a normal five-year-old and after the hour she was 'Where's my mummy?' but she just soldiered on.
"At the end she said she wanted to walk, so she went for it. I feel so proud of her."
Two other children were also taking part alongside Harmonie-Rose.
Seven-year-old Devon Baker, from Midsomer Norton, is undergoing treatment for leukaemia, while Ellie Payne, seven, has undergone heart surgery.

Q: QTreeView, class, arguments, instance and attributes I get to POO, python and PyQt slowly and I have a problem to understand something about passing argument and attributes.
I found online a code  dealing with QTreeView (see below) and I don't understand how Index is passed into showPath(). Also why self.filename and self.filepath are not passed to the instance?
I hope I am clear enough ... Thank a lot.
from PyQt4           import QtGui
class TreeViewWidget(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):

    super(TreeViewWidget, self).__init__(parent)
    self.model = QtGui.QFileSystemModel(self)
    self.model.setRootPath(rootpath)
    self.indexRoot = self.model.index(self.model.rootPath())

    self.treeView = QtGui.QTreeView(self)
    self.treeView.setExpandsOnDoubleClick(False)
    self.treeView.setModel(self.model)
    self.treeView.setRootIndex(self.indexRoot)
    self.treeView.setColumnWidth(0,220)
    self.treeView.clicked.connect(self.showPath)
    self.treeView.doubleClicked.connect(self.openQuickLook)

    self.labelFileName = QtGui.QLabel(self)
    self.labelFileName.setText("File Name:")

    self.lineEditFileName = QtGui.QLineEdit(self)

    self.labelFilePath = QtGui.QLabel(self)
    self.labelFilePath.setText("File Path:")

    self.lineEditFilePath = QtGui.QLineEdit(self)

    self.gridLayout = QtGui.QGridLayout()
    self.gridLayout.addWidget(self.labelFileName, 0, 0)
    self.gridLayout.addWidget(self.lineEditFileName, 0, 1)
    self.gridLayout.addWidget(self.labelFilePath, 1, 0)
    self.gridLayout.addWidget(self.lineEditFilePath, 1, 1)

    self.layout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout(self)
    self.layout.addLayout(self.gridLayout)
    self.layout.addWidget(self.treeView)

def givePathName(self, index):

    indexItem = self.model.index(index.row(), 0, index.parent())

    self.filename = self.model.fileName(indexItem)
    self.filepath = self.model.filePath(indexItem)

def showPath(self, index):

    self.givePathName(index)
    self.lineEditFileName.setText(self.filename)
    self.lineEditFilePath.setText(self.filepath)

A:
I don't understand how index is passed into showPath()

You connect the widget's click signal to showPath explicitly:
self.treeView.clicked.connect(self.showPath)

part of this signal is the index of the specific item clicked on; this is passed as an argument to showPath automatically.

Also why self.filename and self.filepath are not passed to the instance?

They are instance attributes, they belong to the instance and are accessible to all methods of that instance. They are created in givePathName(), and are then part of the TreeViewWidget instance object. They start with self. because that is, by convention, the name given to the instance in instance methods (and the implicit first argument to those methods).
Putting that together:
def showPath(self, index):
           # ^ the instance object, so you can access its attributes
                 # ^ the index of the specific item clicked

A: The clicked signal of your QTreeView pass the QModelIndex of the item clicked as an argument to any connected slots.
See Qt Documentation and PyQt signal and slots documentation.

Alaska Airlines and American Airlines shared some sad news today. They will loosen their partnership beginning 1. January 2018. As Alaska is starting to grow its own network the partnership with American Airlines (AA) will take a hit. Alaska recently bought the West Coast-based Airline Virgin America and will dissolve the Virgin America brand completely into Alaska Airlines.
Alaska Airlines network grew largely since the addition of Virgin America and serves now many destinations where it used to make sense to fly on AA before. Alaska Airlines want you now to spend your money on Alaska and Virgin (as long as it exists as a separate brand) rather than sharing their profit with American Airlines.
It is a logical step and was foreseeable that something like this would happen as Alaska Airlines starts to grow. From Alaska Air's standpoint, it makes absolute sense but for us passengers it's a loss. Just not to long ago Alaska Airlines advertised their loyalty program "Milage Plan" as a program where one mile flown is a mile earned. For some people, it made sense to credit the miles from their AA flights to AS (Alaska Airlines) for a better value. American Airlines, as most of the legacy airlines, turned to a revenue-based loyalty program.
Beginning with 1. January of 2018 you won't be able to credit domestic flights to Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan if it's not a codeshare and booked through Alaska Air. You still can credit international travel on AA to Mileage Plan.
Reciprocal elite benefits will be cut as well. You will no longer receive priority boarding, free bags, or preferred seating on any flights operated by American Airlines. Also the other way around. Alaska Airlines won't allow you priority boarding anymore if you have status with American Airlines.
Here the changes as found on Alaska Airlines' website.
You'll still earn miles on domestic American Airlines flights with an Alaska Airlines (AS) flight number, and on all American international flights.
You'll still be able to redeem miles on American flights globally.
Alaska Lounge members can still access Admirals Club lounges when traveling on Alaska or American.
American Airlines domestic flights with an "AA" flight number will no longer earn Mileage Plan miles.
You'll no longer receive elite benefits when traveling on American Airlines after December 31, 2017.
Some award levels will be changing for travel booked in 2018.
It is sad to see that these two airlines starting to split up. Earlier Alaska Airlines and Delta Airlines split up for good as Delta now increases its own network out of their hub in Seattle.
Alaska and American shouldn't have discontinued their reciprocal elite member recognition. Since it makes now less and less sense to stay loyal to one airline. All they do is cutting your benefits but you spend extra just to stay loyal. That's not how it should work.
Let's see where this partnership goes and hopefully this is the last time we here about loosening the partnership. I am pretty certain there will be award chart changes in the future and pretty sure they will be negative for the customers.
I am a big fan of both Airlines and enjoyed my flights with them. The only benefit I ever used was the partner elite recognition but not even for the free bag, just for priority boarding.
However, with the growing integration of Virgin America into Alaska Airlines, benefits are raising on both airlines until Virgin ceases to exist.
