The Grand Dames of Succession Are Powerful—And All Over 60
The TV Issue
Last year just 3% of women on TV were aged 60 or above. But on Succession, they're dominating the screen.
By Samantha Leach
HBO's Succession is, at its core, about a very white, very patriarchal, family-run conservative media conglomerate, but in its second season a small sorority emerges within the belly of the beast. Much of the show's sophomore run focuses on Logan Roy's (Brian Cox) quest to purchase a rival liberal news empire, presumably based on CNN, that's diametrically opposed to everything he stands for. The fictional PGN—and the family behind it—isn't only left-wing but highly intellectual and women-run. Cherry Jones plays the matriarch of the Pierce family, Nan Pierce, with Holly Hunter starring as her right hand, Rhea Jarrell. The season also focuses on Cyd Peach (Jeannie Berlin) the head of the Roys' Fox News–esque TV station, and trusty family fixer Gerri Killman (J. Smith-Cameron), rounding out an impressive squad of veteran actresses. Between them they're Oscar, Emmy, Tony, and Golden Globe winners. And they all happen to be over the age of 60. Unlike with most other women of a certain age on television, their characters are not mothers or grandmothers. They're not retired. Their positions include general counsel, CEO, and head of a global network, and their concerns appear to be less about being aging women in demanding jobs and more about making money, wielding influence, and not getting fucked with. Basically, they're no different than the men on the show.
By Hollywood standards, this is pretty radical. During the 2018–19 television season, 56% of female characters were in their 20s and 30s. Just 3% of women were 60 and above. But female representation is something that's top of mind for Succession's creator, Jesse Armstrong. "We're aware that this world of media moguls and bankers is male-dominated, [but] when we have the opportunity to have more women on the show we gravitate towards it," he tells Glamour. "Jeannie, Holly, Cherry, and J. are a delight to write for. They're not straightforward 'women' [roles], there's a lot you get to sink your teeth into."
Gerri Killman (J. Smith-Cameron), the Roys' de facto "Michael Cohen."
When Smith-Cameron, 62, first auditioned to play Waystar Royco's general counsel, the role was written as a man. But after she read for it, Gerry became Gerri. What Smith-Cameron finds exceptional about her role, and the show's other female powerhouses is that they're like nothing you've ever seen before. "We're not generic. You could say that we're all middle-aged ball-busters, but we're quirkier than that," she says. "[We're] specifically drawn and that within itself is a very revolutionary thing on television." Initially Gerri was only slated to appear in a few episodes. But when Succession came back this summer, Gerri and her pithy retorts had become a mainstay of the series. Smith-Cameron also found herself with a shocking new plot line: a quasi affair with the youngest Roy, 30-something Roman (Kieran Culkin). While there'd always been a steady kinship between family jester Roman and his frequent ally, things hit a fever pitch when it morphed into a full-on dominant-and-submissive relationship. A twist as stunning to the actors as it was to the audience. "Roman and Gerri having any glimmer of a sexual relationship is itself rather radical," she says. "Sometimes it's sort of amusing, others it's disgusting, but what's so fun is you can't pigeonhole it. She's so snarky and he's so nasty—there's a kind of simpatico to it."
Along with giving her a meaty plotline, the second season reunited Smith-Cameron with old friends. The very first play she performed in in New York, Crimes of the Heart on Broadway, was alongside Hunter, 61. Then years later she starred in two different shows with her now-pal Jones. Jones and Hunter also have a special relationship. They were the only "Southern girls" during their mutual time at Carnegie Mellon, and after college Hunter stayed with Jones on 71st Street while going on auditions in New York City. "[On Succession] we'd work and then all go to the bar, have a drink, dinner, and practically tuck each other in at the end of the night, we were having so much fun," says Jones, 62. "Now that Holly, J., and I had that wonderful reunion, we're back in each other's lives for keeps. We're already making dates for lunch when they get back to New York. [It's been] a boon for our friendship."
Rhea Jarrell (Holly Hunter) and Nan Pierce (Cherry Jones) during their take-no-prisoners negotiation for the sale of PGN to Logan Roy.
Jones—who plays Logan's latest foil: the elite yet approachable, Shakespeare-worshipping Nan—modeled her character after Katherine Graham, the first woman to helm a Fortune 500 company, The Washington Post Co. Like Nan, Graham led her family's newspaper without any major male influence. (Graham inherited the Post when her husband died at 48 years old.) And the seemingly unmarried and childless Nan also doesn't keep any men in her counsel. She's a no-nonsense woman in a crisp white blouse and neck scarf. It's a part Jones delights in, and is thrilled she's of the age and time to play. "I can't tell you how grateful I am [this role] happens to be when I'm in my 60s. I have lucked out. The Me Too movement has had a tremendous impact, and that means that diversity really means diversity," she says. "I'm working more right now than I have in years. I know J.'s part was written for a man, and I just did a play on Broadway called The Lifespan of a Fact, where the editor I played was [originally] a man. In the last year I've played roles that were written for men that have gotten changed to not just a woman's role, but an older woman's role—and they're really fun."
A particularly fun scene for Jones came at the end of episode five, when after a long weekend at her character's New England estate, the Roy and Pierce families converge to discuss the sale of the latter's company. In their discussion of a $25 billion acquisition, the women outnumber the men 2:1. They also pull all the punches. It's not storied businessman Logan who tries to chisel them down on the price; rather, it's Rhea who asks for more money, and Nan who ups the ante on her demands. The power of appearing alongside Hunter, Jones, and Smith-Cameron during such a display of unabashed female ruthlessness wasn't lost on Sarah Snook, 32, who plays Logan's only daughter and would-be successor, Shiv. "It's so rewarding to do a scene where it's women with conflicting objectives, and they're talking business, instead of 'silly stuff.' They're complex women and unlikable as well," she says.
Cyd Peach (Jeannie Berlin) and Tom Wamsgans (Matthew Macfadyen), bitter business rivals at the Roys' conservative news network.
Another reward for Snook? Getting to soak up the wisdom of these women, who together nearly qualify for EGOT status. "If you're a female and you don't have any mentors to engage with in your day-to-day—because [your elders] aren't being offered the jobs they should be in the industry—then you can't expect to learn how you want to be as a person as you grow older. So it's been invaluable to have their knowledge passed down to me," she says.
But for fans, what's truly sublime about having these seasoned actresses in this ensemble, portraying women with actual seats at the table, isn't just that they're such beloved figures—but that they're worthy women with the career credentials to deserve those seats. Which is exactly what made casting director Avy Kaufman consider them in the first place. "I did [the 1989 movie] Miss Firecracker 100 years ago with Holly and she's always been this woman. She's always had something she was fighting for, or strongly believed in," she says. "Same with the rest of them. I don't think it was a huge surprise to see these women. Sometimes [an element of surprise] is necessary. Sometimes it's fun to see a weak person be strong. But in this case, it's fun to see strong women doing what they do best."

29. July 03, IDG News Service — Beijing scores number one spot for malware. China is proving to be a mighty force not only economically, but also as the launching point for malicious software and spam. In June, some 40 percent of malicious software worldwide originated from Beijing, nearly doubling from 21 percent in May, said Simon Heron, managing director for security vendor Network Box. Spam from Beijing, however, dropped from 11 percent to five percent over the same time period, he said. Beijing kept the number one spot for malware, followed by Wattleup, Australia, at 3.7 percent, and Madrid, Spain, at 2.5 percent, according to Network Box. The percentage is calculated from event logs transmitted by about 700 customers using Network Box's security appliance. As more and more users come online in China, there's a good chance those computers are using pirated software without up−to−date security fixes, making them prime targets for hackers who are actually located elsewhere in the world, Heron said.

30. July 03, IDG News Service — Two days after iPhone launch, AT&T EDGE goes down. iPhone users across the U.S. were complaining Monday, June 2, that AT&T's wireless data network was down. The network was down primarily in the West and Midwest, but by 7 p.m. on the East Coast, service was restored, according to Warner May, an AT&T spokesperson. He said he didn't know when the problems started. AT&T had isolated the problem and was still working on it, he said. Voice and text messaging services remained fully functional but EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution) and 3G services were down, he said. While BlackBerry users had full service, users of other phones in addition to the iPhone were also affected, he said.

31. July 03, VNUNet — Eastern European Websites under renewed attack. A large number of online attacks have been reported in Russia against Websites deemed to be anti−President Putin. The sites are being crashed or slowed severely by distributed denial−of−service attacks similar to those directed against Estonia earlier in the year. The outlawed National Bolshevik Party claimed that it had been under attack between February and April when it was trying to organize anti−government protests. "They killed the entire U.S. server that hosted us," the party's online supervisor Alexei Sochnev told Associated Press. Meanwhile Pavel Chernikov, owner of news site Kommersant, reported that his site was attacked in early May after publishing a report on Russian exile Boris Berezovsky. On the same day radio station Ekho Moskvy was taken down by a denial−of−service attack.

32. July 02, eWeek — iPhone coughs up first bugs. Even as the iPhone drew its first breath, security researchers were squeezing it to make it cough up its first bugs. In a nutshell, the security quibbles, theoretical or otherwise, are that at least one Safari browser bug that was known prior to device launch is still on the phone, and that anyone can listen to users' voice mail because spoofing Caller ID is so easy with AT&T/Cingular service. Errata Security's Robert Graham said on Sunday, July 1, that, after waiting a day to get an iPhone activated, the security firm found a bug within a few minutes −− although it was familiar from being one of a group of bugs the company had found earlier in the Safari browser. Errata's Dave Maynor found multiple bugs in the beta of Safari for Windows within hours of the beta's June 11 release. Errata also found that its Bluetooth fuzzer locked up the iPhone −− a promising sign of further bugs to come after the firm has had time to dissect the reason for the crashes. Errata isn't handing over any of these vulnerability details to Apple until the company publishes "acceptable vulnerability handling guidelines," Graham said.

33. July 02, Information Week — iPhone used as bait for malicious Website. Hackers were quick to jump on the iPhone bandwagon, spamming out e−mails that lure users to malicious Websites that infect their machines and turn them into bots. Researchers at security company Secure Computing discovered a Website set up to exploit more than 10 ActiveX vulnerabilities in an attempt to install a malicious payload, which includes a rootkit. This piece of malware is designed to open up a back door in the computer and turn it into a bot that fills out the hackers' botnet. "This yet again confirms the expanding trend in Web−borne malware," Paul Henry, VP of technology evangelism for Secure Computing, said in a written statement. "This threat is particularly insidious in that scripts within the HTML code returned to the user contain exploit code for multiple vulnerabilities to improve the malicious hacker's chances of gaining the necessary access to install the rootkit/spam bot malware. While most organizations fully inspect the traffic directed to their Internet facing Web servers, many do not inspect the traffic that is returned to their internal users when visiting Internet Websites." Hackers set up the bot to send out spam, according to a Secure Computing advisory.

34. July 02, CNET News — Grand Theft Auto mod virus uses YouTube to spread. Although YouTube videos remain safe to view, that hasn't stopped criminals from finding new ways to entice YouTube viewers to get infected with the latest Trojan horse. The latest example is a Grand Theft Auto video for a mod called Hood Life. According to Chris Boyd, Director of Malware Research at FaceTime Security Labs, the images used in the video are circa 1986, crudely rendered, not up to the high standards of the GTA game itself, yet at least 54 people have nonetheless downloaded the game. Watching the You Tube video is safe. The danger comes at the end when the video displays a site where you can download the game mod itself. Boyd notes that he's seen other YouTube videos where the criminals teach you how to write and distribute viruses. In this case, the video acts only as a distribution for an already complete package of malware hosted somewhere else.

MSI's Big Bang series of motherboards is famous amongst gamers and enthusiasts. MSI had the Big Bang Marshall for Sandy Bridge, Big Bang XPower I for X58 and the Big Bang XPower II for X79. Now MSI is bringing out a Big Bang series board for the Ivy Bridge platform – to be named the Big Bang ZPower, with the Z being for Z77. This board will also support Sandy Bridge for those users who want the functionality of Z77 but prefer the "overclockability" of Sandy Bridge processors. The board has the model number "MS-7751 v 3.0", which doesn't give away much about the name of the board, hence the expectation that the board will be named the Big Bang ZPower is based on informed speculation only.
Although 4X may seem slightly inadequate for a triple SLI or CrossfireX solution you have to consider that this board will provide these speeds at PCIe generation 3 meaning 4X is actually generation 2 8X and so on. MSI's primary focus with the ZPower is overclocking. MSI will hide a very powerful VRM beneath those yellow and black heat sinks and their acclaimed Click BIOS is likely to be packed full of overclocking features to allow you to tweak power delivery and configuration options to squeeze the most out of your CPU, RAM and Graphics Cards. Sound is provided by THX TruStudioPro and MSI have also provided three PCIe Generation 2 1X slots for additional connectivity, these will be controlled by the Z77 PCH. Expect more about this board to arrive at Computex 2012.


World War I was also known as "The War to End all Wars". The underlying cause was the increasing economic and military competition between Britain and Germany; the spark that ignited it was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, in Sarajevo, in June 1914; by the Black Hand, a Serbian nationalist secret society.
Austria-Hungary's reaction to the death was to demand Serbia not only bring the assassins to justice, but also renounce her sovereignty. Austria-Hungary's expectation was that Serbia would reject the demand, thus giving her a pretext for launching a limited war against Serbia, which it did in July 1914. However because of existing alliances, that single action brought virtually the entire western world to war.
The Serbians had a defense treaty with Russia, but The Entente Powers included Russia, France, and the United Kingdom. Japan, honoring a military agreement with Britain, declared war on Germany in August. Italy joined the allies in April 1915. The Central Powers, so named because of their central location on the European continent, consisted of Germany and Austria-Hungary. The Ottoman Empire joined the Central Powers in October, followed a year later by Bulgaria. By the end of the war, only The Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain and the Scandinavian nations remained officially neutral. The US also remained neutral until 1917 when German unrestricted submarine warfare seriously threatened America's commercial shipping and forced the U.S. to enter the war in April 1917.
The war took place on several fronts across the Europe. The Western Front was marked by a system of trenches, and breastworks stretching 475 miles and precipitated a style of fighting known as trench warfare.
By the autumn of 1918, with revolution imminent, Germany petitioned for an armistice. It took effect at 11am on November 11 – the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. The war was formally ended by several treaties, most notably the Treaty of Versailles, signed on 28 June 1919.
One of the striking outcomes of the war was the end of a world order which had existed since the Napoleonic Wars and the wholesale redrawing of the map of Europe. All of the Central Powers lost territory, and many new nations were created. The German Empire lost its colonial possessions. The Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires were completely dissolved. Austria-Hungary was carved up into several successor states including Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia. The Ottoman Empire disintegrated, and much of its non-Anatolian territory was awarded as protectorates of various Allied powers, while the remaining Turkish core was reorganized as the Republic of Turkey. The Russian Empire, which had withdrawn from the war in 1917, lost much of its western frontier as the newly independent nations of Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland were carved from it. After the war, the League of Nations was created as an international organization designed to avoid future wars by giving nations a means of solving their differences diplomatically.

Writing for the End Times
Giacomo Sartori's novel "I Am God" narrates the ultimate existential crisis.
The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun, by William Blake / Shutterstock
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God." So reads the opening verse in the Gospel of John—the fourth, deviant gospel—which was probably composed 70 years after the crucifixion of Jesus. According to Giacomo Sartori, John the Apostle got it way wrong. The Word comes toward the end of days, these days, our days, when the earth is already melting, when exodus or exile marks most of the world's population, when God finally sits down (does a god sit?) and starts a "diary," where he records his fumbling attempts to think, to write, to fall in and out of love. To become more human, if you will, to know what a mistake feels like, and to try to make it right.
I AM GOD by Giacomo Sartori, translated by Frederika Randall
Restless Books, 224 pp., $17.99
It's a kind of memoir, this novel, in which God recounts his obsession with a tall, lanky, promiscuous lab rat, a young woman who's smart enough to enlist bacteria in the production of clean energy, but who just can't find the right man. "Could it be me?" That's God asking, knowing, like any other man, that even if He became a human being and sought her out, he might fail to charm her, or even to speak a complete sentence in her presence.
The line the author, God or Man, crosses in criticizing the human species is this: We humans are the only creatures who know that death waits for us. We acquire that knowledge around the same time we're born into language. Knowing that we'll die makes us neurotic—fearful, fretful, self-conscious—and this is also what makes us human, this is what makes us tell stories, about ourselves among others. And so Sartori's God becomes human, and knows it, insofar as He writes. It's terrifying.
Is Giacomo Sartori, a soil scientist (for real) and the author of seven novels, just another "new atheist," making fun of religion because it's irrational? God, no. This novel is an utterly serious and wildly comic test of the strange idea we take for granted in reading prose fiction—the pretense of the omniscient narrator. Here he is, God-like in his knowledge of past, present, and future, and yet he's also explaining his very particular needs, desires, urges, trying on an imagined embodiment, what would come of being a man rather than a god. All good writing, fiction or non-fiction, makes this move by placing us in a world elsewhere, taking us out of ourselves, letting us live another's life. By speaking in the voice of God, Sartori has simplified the premise and complicated the result of writing as such. This "diary" teaches its author that perfection of any kind is inconceivable. And so he finds he's condemned to keep revising his own creation.
Sartori's God has good reason to doubt himself. The woman he has fallen for is a serious scientist as well as an atheist and an anti-Catholic activist (she steals crucifixes and burns them for fun). Her day jobs include the artificial insemination of cows, which requires anal penetration up to her shoulders and gentle manipulation of bovine cervixes. We know this because God keeps a close eye on her day and night—no, of course, He doesn't sleep, He has better things to do.
Like what? Like, coast carefree between galaxies, watching them mate, or be swallowed, individually, by black holes. (He loves every one of his creations except snakes and languages, both of which, the reptiles and the metaphors, make Him deeply anxious.) Or, cause Giovanni the seducer to shatter his elbow on his way to a tryst with the tall one, Ms. Einstein as He calls her. He's a jealous God. Or, find ways to mend the broken life of the beanpole, as He also calls her, a victim of both sexual harassment and discrimination in her workplaces. He believes, as do most of us human beings, that everybody is equal in the eyes of God, and that sometimes we can bend that fabled arc of history toward justice.
This God, the brilliant, hilarious, and utterly believable creation of Sartori, has some trouble with Jesus. He was probably a bastard son, and God knows he said some crazy shit in his short span on earth. The formal complaint is clear. If God is a man—he called himself the "Son of Man," for God's sake!—what's the point of having a monotheistic deity hovering over the earth, giving providence a good name? Church or no church, Holy Roman Catholic or otherwise, Jesus is at best a nuisance, at worst an atheist, either way a heretic. He shows up mainly in exasperated footnotes. "If I were ever to try incarnation, I certainly wouldn't imitate my self-proclaimed offspring. I wouldn't go around proselytizing barefoot, or pronouncing shamanistic phrases, as often as not false, or perform miracles."
Sartori is, I believe, retracing the two itineraries that still claim our literary imaginations whether we know it or not, those biblical epics we call the Old Testament and the New. The God of the Old Testament was as obsessed with Job as Sartori's God is with Ms. Einstein. As Jack Miles demonstrated in his wondrous biography of God, the chastened deity retreated from His providential role on earth when He understood the huge mistake He made in torturing his faithful servant, the observant and obsequious Job. God eventually delivered His own son as compensation, as substitution, as a sacrificial offering to His own creation, for having failed it once again. (Remember Noah.)
And then the Son of Man, sent on an impossible errand into this earthly wilderness, learned what it's like to be a human being—nervous, fragile, unhappy, always looking for a way out, charged as a criminal, tortured, and executed in disgrace. Sartori combines Father and Son in the comical reach and tone of His voice. His? The Father, the Son, and the Holy What? They're all gathered here in the sight of God.
Sartori's God knows that our neurotic condition delivers us unto narrative, religion, art, and every activity that involves symbols and metaphors, which are just fancy words for big mistakes—a sail for a ship, a skirt for a woman, a man for a god, some paint for a person, a word for a thing. This writer, a garrulous god, worries over every word, footnotes included. "You write," He says, "and the more you write the dizzier you become, and you end up with a headful of foolishness."
We, the animals who claim to be human, name things—children, pets, places, times—because we know they'll pass, just as we will. There's no point in naming anything that won't die. The name itself is already a commemoration: the desolation of time is built into the designation. That's why it takes God so long to name the object of His desire, Daphne. He doesn't get around to it until He's exactly halfway through His "diary" (p. 99 of 206), when her life falls apart and He must repair it. For His desire has changed her world.
If you're immortal, you can't care much about what should endure because you know that none of it will, except you. If you're not immortal, you can, and you do, and you try to find the words to make it significant. You want the words, the names, the memories, to last. So the fear of death and the urge to write are pretty much the same thing. But here, in this antic novel, God Himself fears death, or, what is the same thing, the extinction of His desire for Daphne. He wants to be embodied, but He knows that if He tries, he's sooner or later a dead man. He hedges that bet.
We don't have that choice. We have perfected the correlation between dying and writing by making big mistakes, and calling them myths, or novels, or poems. The memoir now competes with these genres because the real world has become unbelievable—the news reads like science fiction. Also, because we know that everyone has a story worth telling, and that he or she can tell it.
Still, the urge to write about this world, whatever the genre, remains a fundamental error—it mistakes the words for the things (or the events) and is, therefore, a fiction. When it works, the error itself is incorporated in the real world, and lets us behave accordingly, as if mere ideas might organize the future, as if the writer's mistakes could become truths, or already are. Suddenly we believe in the world the writer has created, and we go from there. We're transported, but not literally. Sartori's God knows this in His bones (if gods have bones).
This urge to err and therefore to create is the human condition. The writer succeeds and the reader believes, no matter the genre, insofar as both know that they're collaborating in making something that exceeds the present—it isn't yet true—and thus permits a future that didn't exist before the writing and the reading. Under Sartori's verbal spell, made new by Frederika Randall's translation, God now joins us in wondering where his big words, his big mistakes, will take him.
Other species know the fear of death, of course, but only at the hour, when they've made their only mistake and have been hunted down—they don't anticipate it, they experience it. We instead remember death before it happens by building cemeteries, celebrating the dead, enclosing huge spaces that have no function except to console us, and to remind us that we're headed for the same place. We remember what hasn't yet happened by writing about it, by conjuring what we have lost before we even know what that is, or will be. What better definition of omniscience could there be? No wonder Sartori's God is a writer.
He has seen what he loves disappear, and, like any other writer, equipped with mere words, he tries to make it reappear. As the world he made melts down, he creates another atmosphere, this one made of remembrance, but it's the present, only now, only here.

Former CBS and PBS host Charlie Rose was the biggest name this week, as additional allegations were lodged against Al Franken and Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore.
Sexual harassment allegations are coming so fast and furious it is hard to keep up: Former CBS and PBS host Charlie Rose , Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota and Rep. John Conyers of Michigan are among the latest public figures to face accusations.
But we in the media must not only keep up, we need to stay strong, focused and intellectually honest even as we report from within the eye of this cultural storm and revolutionary moment. This is history in the making, and we need to help create a climate in which victims feel their testimony will be heard and they will not be punished for speaking truth about powerful men.
If we are serious about trying to change society away from the oppression of patriarchy, we need to understand that now is not the time to start making excuses or applying double standards when we see someone we know, like or even admire characterized as a sexual predator. Change of this magnitude in which power is wrested from a group that has long held control is never smooth or easy. Now is not the time to lose our nerve because things are getting ugly.
Four women who co-host major morning TV shows have recently shown the kind of resolve it takes to change the culture: Gayle King, Norah O'Donnell, Mika Brzezinski and Alisyn Camerota. I hope others will take their cues for future coverage from them.
On Tuesday, King spoke to viewers of "CBS This Morning" about her reaction to a Washington Post article the day before that chronicled the allegations of sexual harassment by eight women against Rose. Her words seemed heartfelt, but more importantly, she seemed to understand the responsibility media figures like her have to this moment in history — a responsibility to be an agent of change for the better, no matter how painful it might be personally.
She went on to talk about her relationship with Rose at the CBS morning anchor desk, explaining that she was not going to let that get in the way of denouncing what he did.
"You know, I've enjoyed a friendship and a partnership with Charlie for the past five years. I've held him in such high regard and I'm really struggling because ... what do you say when someone that you deeply care about has done something that is so horrible?" she asked.
Kudos for King for saying that any man who uses his position of power to violate the privacy, spirit or body of another person needs to pay. And instead of thinking about him, we should be focused on the victims and the price they paid with their careers and lives.
Co-host Norah O'Donnell was just as clear and strong.
Brzezinski, co-host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," did something just as important to the moment in calling out Hillary Clinton on Monday.
Then, speaking to the camera as if addressing Bill Clinton, she continued.
I applaud her clarity and courage. And if you don't think it still takes courage to call out the Clintons, check out the blowback to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a New York Democrat, after she said in a recent New York Times interview that she thought Bill Clinton should have resigned as president after having a relationship with intern Monica Lewinsky.
The other impressive aspect of Brzezinski's saying it on MSNBC is that it runs against the way cable news has gone tribal the past few weeks in reaction to the allegations of sexual harassment and assault. On the one hand, you have Fox News programming almost entire shows devoted to the allegations against Bill Clinton, while MSNBC and CNN extend the current news of the allegations against Moore with replays of the allegations against Trump. Given that he is president, it is hard to criticize that kind of Trump coverage. But it is striking to cut from channel to channel and see allegations against Trump on one channel and allegations against Clinton on the other. As if we need an even more politically polarized media.
Her guests included Gillibrand, former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson and Brandeis University Professor Anita Hill, who testified in 1991 to a Senate committee on the ways in which then-nominee to the Supreme Court Clarence Thomas allegedly harassed her when he was her supervisor at the Department of Education and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Each of them expanded the conversation in original ways. The words that stuck with me were from Carlson, who said that instead of worrying about the men who are accused and what's going to happen to their careers, we should think about the several generations of women over the decades who have tried to blow the whistle on sexual harassers and have had their careers ruined. Let's go out, she said, and try to bring some of them back into the workforce instead of feeling bad about the harassers being kicked out of it.
God bless her for momentarily giving voice to all the women who were silenced by the power of patriarchy — labeled and blacklisted as problem employees, troublemakers or just plain crazy by the old-boy network that controlled hiring in mainstream media for far too long.
Women like Camerota, King, O'Donnell, Brzezinski, Carlson, Hill and Gillibrand showed us what moral authority looks and sounds like this month. Let's support it and not lose the momentum of this historic moment by trying to make excuses for or defend those offenders whom we made the mistake of liking or trusting because they seemed to be members of our tribe. Let's help make that reckoning O'Donnell spoke of happen.

SEC Hits Rights Abusers in the Wallet
Friday, 11 May 2001 12:00 AM
These changes are chronicled in a front-page article by Ted Alden in Friday's Financial Times titled "SEC Seeks Closer Watch on Overseas Groups" and additional reporting inside the paper. Reduced to its essence, the Times concludes, "The move [to evaluate these new categories of 'political risk'] ... marks an unprecedented mixing of capital markets regulation with U.S. foreign policy concerns."
Much of the impetus for this breakthrough in nonfinancial risk assessment in the markets was catalyzed by one of our nation's most inspired and tenacious advocate of human rights, religious freedom and a quick end to the genocidal catastrophe in Sudan, Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va. Wolf was among the first lawmakers to recognize the substantial policy leverage offered by selective action on the U.S. capital markets. In so doing, he relied heavily on the prodigious five-year effort of the William J. Casey Institute - and its chairman, Roger Robinson, and Senior Analyst Adam Pener - to strengthen SEC disclosure and transparency requirements with respect to known or prospective global "bad actors" seeking to raise funds in our debt and equity markets.
Regrettably, these prudent, market-oriented initiatives were staunchly resisted by former SEC chairman Arthur Levitt for more than three years. His departure, however, allowed the commission's staff and interim leadership to take a more rigorous - and conscientious - approach to the oversight of potentially problematic foreign offerings.
Just how problematic such offerings might be was recently presented by the Casey Institute to board members of leading American pension funds. As noted in this memorandum: "We believe the public pension funds have a fiduciary responsibility to determine whether a company's - or a country's - domestic or overseas activities will negatively affect the value of the fund's investments. Indeed, there is abundant evidence to assert that national security and human rights concerns have emerged as new risk factors in the markets."
In its correspondence, the Casey Institute recommended that "Pension funds can and should include [national security, human rights and religious freedom] considerations in their risk assessment of overseas companies." Happily, this view has now been adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which has explicitly called for such new risk elements to be incorporated into the due diligence processes of fund managers. As Alden noted, "the decision will also put new pressure on mutual funds and pension funds to expand their assessments of the political risks of investing in certain companies."
The Casey Institute applauds Acting SEC Chairman Laura Unger and David Martin, director of corporation finance, for their vision and leadership in addressing these new areas of potential market peril for largely unwitting American and other investors. It is to be hoped that Harvey L. Pitt, President Bush's newly announced choice for the SEC chairmanship, will strongly support the detailed adjustments recommended by the SEC staff to assure needed transparency and discipline with respect to foreign offerings on the U.S. debt and equity markets, as outlined in Unger's letter to Rep. Wolf of May 8. Pitt's views on this emerging issue area - and especially their consistency with the Unger standards - should feature prominently in his upcoming confirmation hearings.
By Edward Alden
The US Securities and Exchange Commission is planning to demand sharply increased disclosure from overseas companies listed in the US that are doing business with countries under U.S. embargo.
The move, which comes as the Bush administration on Thursday announced plans to nominate Harvey L. Pitt as SEC chairman, marks an unprecedented mixing of capital markets regulation with US foreign policy concerns.
It is spelt out in a May 8 letter from Laura Unger, acting SEC chairman, to Frank Wolf, the Republican who chairs the House of Representatives appropriations sub-committee responsible for the SEC.
In the letter, obtained by the Financial Times, Ms Unger says the SEC will now require overseas companies to disclose if they are doing business in any country where US companies would be prohibited from investing. These include Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, North Korea, Burma and Cuba. The embargo also embraces some companies targeted for weapons proliferation.
Ms Unger wrote: "Our aim is to make available to investors additional information about situations in which the material proceeds of an offering could - however indirectly - benefit countries, governments, or entities that, as a matter of US foreign policy, are off-limits to US companies."
The commitments are spelt out as initiatives to be carried out by the SEC staff, and are accompanied by a detailed staff memorandum. Except for a small change requiring electronic filing by overseas companies, the move does not demand a formal rule but can be implemented under existing SEC authority.
The SEC action responds to a growing campaign by human rights groups aimed at restricting the ability of companies doing business in war-racked Sudan to raise money on US markets.
Mr Wolf demanded last month that the SEC suspend trading in the stock of PetroChina and Talisman Energy, the Chinese and Canadian oil companies. PetroChina's parent company is the largest investor in a consortium extracting oil in Sudan. Talisman holds a smaller share.
Mr Wolf claimed both companies had failed to disclose to investors the risks of their involvement in Sudan.
Ms Unger said the SEC had no authority to deny US listings because of a company's involvement with any particular foreign country, but would require fuller disclosure of these investments.
The SEC, which normally does only selective reviews of disclosure filings, said it would attempt to review all registration statements filed by overseas companies with business in embargoed countries.
The SEC would work closely on the issue with the Office of Foreign Assets Control, the Treasury agency that administers US economic sanctions. The SEC "fully supports duly imposed economic sanctions and will co-operate with appropriate US governmental agencies to help ensure that those sanctions are enforced", the letter said.
Laura Unger, the acting chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, has handed a bombshell to her successor Harvey L. Pitt.
Mr Pitt, who was nominated yesterday by President George W. Bush to head the SEC, will be given the task of implementing a decision that significantly expands the SEC's role in ensuring that foreign companies listing in the US do not run foul of US sanctions policy.
The decision was conveyed in a letter this week from Ms Unger to Rep. Frank Wolf, who chairs the House appropriations subcommittee with authority over the SEC and is co-chair of the House human rights caucus. The SEC, under its existing authority to require full disclosure, has declared that investments in countries under US sanctions are a significant material risk to investors.
While the US government has never been shy about using sanctions as a foreign policy tool, there has been great reluctance, particularly from the US Treasury, to link these measures in any way to the US capital markets. The fear is that companies could choose to list elsewhere if they believe US markets are tainted by political considerations.
The SEC's move "could represent a sea change in the way in which foreign registrants access the US capital markets," said Roger W Robinson Jr, chairman of the William J Casey Institute, a Washington policy group with close ties to conservative groups and human rights activists.
"National security, human rights and religious freedom concerns are now regarded as potential material risks to investors," said Mr Robinson, who was a senior National Security Council official in the Reagan administration.
While companies are already required in general terms to disclose political risks, the new requirements are much more targeted. US-listed companies must now spell out their dealings in places such as Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Burma and Cuba, and the SEC has promised aggressive oversight to ensure that US investors are fully aware of the risks they are taking in buying stocks or bonds in such companies.
In a memorandum from David Martin, the director of corporate finance, the SEC says that such risks are not limited to the possibility that US sanctions could directly hurt the company. In addition, "if it is reasonably likely that public opposition to the company would have a materially adverse effect on the operations of the company, this risk would also need to be disclosed."
The decision is a big victory for human rights groups that have been trying to influence share prices by urging investors to avoid companies doing business in countries that violate human rights or religious freedoms. In effect, the SEC has said that the campaigns are hurting the stock prices of controversial companies.
The US focus has been on Sudan, where a civil war has claimed more than 2m lives. Mr Wolf has urged that PetroChina and Talisman Energy, two of the groups involved in developing the Sudanese oil fields, be barred from trading in the US.
The campaign scored its biggest success last year when it put pressure on public pension funds and other investors to boycott a New York share offering by PetroChina. The offering eventually yielded $2.9bn, a fraction of the $10bn the company had been seeking.
Sudan activists, with the Casey Institute doing the research legwork, have also been calling for broader restrictions on the ability of these companies to raise funds in the US.
However, Ms Unger said in the letter that she had no authority to take such a drastic step. But she said "we take very seriously" the charge made by Mr Wolf that the two companies "may have failed to disclose material information" with respect to their operations in Sudan. She would not say whether the two companies are under investigation, but said the matter had been referred to the SEC's enforcement division.
While the pressure has been focused on Sudan, Ms Unger's decision will have much broader ramifications. Many foreign companies listing in the US, particularly energy companies, have operations in countries under US embargo and will be affected by the new requirements. The disclosure requirement affects any company or entity that is covered by sanctions administered by the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control.
Michael Mann, former director of international affairs for the SEC, said that while the decision pushes disclosure requirements into new areas, it appears broadly consistent with past practices. The SEC, he said, has often updated its assessment of what constitutes material risk for investors, beginning with new environmental criteria following the Love Canal toxic dump scandal of the late 1970s.
The decision will also put new pressure on mutual funds and pension funds to expand their assessments of the political risks of investing in certain companies.
These changes are chronicled in a front-page article by Ted Alden in Friday's Financial Times titled SEC Seeks Closer Watch on Overseas Groups and additional reporting inside the paper. Reduced to its essence, the Times concludes, The move [to evaluate these new...

Hi, my name is David, I'm 22 and a Law Graduate from Manchester.
I enjoy reading and writing and I am a big fan of Charlie Brooker and Ray Bradbury.
I have published on this site so that people can see my short stories and offer feedback. My aim is to try and improve my writing style so any criticism will be greatly appreciated.


So, you've taken the plunge and started your small business, now what? It's important to make sure you set yourself up for success. One of the ways to do that is to make sure you have a budget that will keep your finances in order.
Check out these seven budgeting basics for small business owners.
This one is huge! Co-mingling business and personal money may seem easier, but it can lead to complications down the road. Keep a record of your business expenses to take advantage of available tax benefits. It also can be risky to use personal money to fund your business as it increases your personal liability. Personal and business finances are equally important for success, and keeping them separate will help.
Next, you'll need to know exactly how much your business is going to cost to run daily and monthly. List out all your expenses, rent, employees, supplies, services, etc. Make short-term and long-term projections with your income.
If you're planning ways to improve your business, be sure to budget for them, and save until you can afford them. If they are not necessary for your business to run well, there's no need for you to go into debt.
Relying on your business to provide for your family takes some planning and knowing exactly how much money to expect each month.If you have no idea how much money will come in, then there's no way to budget and allocate your money to certain things.
Start a savings plan for your business. In order to expand, hire more people, and provide security for your family, it's important for small business owners to set aside small amounts of money to have long-term financial health. Small business owners often face difficulty saving money, since many have very tight budgets when they start. Saving from the beginning will help ensure you have some cushion in tough months.
Efficiency and frugality will help your small business succeed. I recommend taking inventory of your expenses every month and considering areas where you can cut costs, not with cutting quality. I'm not advising cutting corners, but there are ways to save money and run your business efficiently without affecting quality of your product or service.
Make sure you have realistic expectations for your income and your expenses. Do your research, and don't expand too quickly.
Budgeting is essential for your small business success. It's important to keep your personal finances separate from your business finances so that you know exactly where your money is going and are able to easily provide documentation for your business taxes.
If you are struggling to make ends meet and would like help creating a budget, look for a nonprofit small business coach, reach out to a SCORE Mentor, or check out these budgeting tools. Creating a plan and a workable budget will get you on the right track financially.

INSTRUCTIONAL TECH COACHING
Instructional Technology Coaching
By Moss PikeSeptember 7, 2018All
Knowing Technologies was founded in 2008 to provide network technology services and infrastructure support for independent schools in California, including wifi, firewalls, information security, and backup and disaster recovery plans. As we helped clients build more robust and reliable network systems, we discovered that many of our schools also had a need for more meaningful instructional support.
Traditional professional development for educators typically consists of off-site workshops and conferences offering little, if any, follow-up training, dialogue, or in-classroom support. In the weeks and months following these sorts of "one-size-fits-all" learning experiences, newfound ideas, skills, and tools lose context and relevance, leading to stagnation and disinterest.
We launched our instructional technology program to solve these problems. Led by a versatile and experienced coaching team, we created a flexible and personalized instructional coaching model that meets schools and their teachers where they are. Our program begins with the school's mission and educational philosophy, based on the belief that instruction should drive technology use—not the other way around. We then work with our schools to select teachers who have volunteered to become a part of their school's cohort for the academic year. With them, we develop a customized action plan with measurable goals and instructional objectives that are informed by current trends in educational technology, as well as nationally and state-recognized technology standards.
KT Instructional Coaching Team
In weekly face-to-face meetings with individual cohort members, their goals drive collaboration with coaches to develop new and engaging learning experiences for students. In turn, cohort members lead their own quarterly demonstrations for their communities that showcase what they have learned in the program. At the end of the year, participants collect their work in professional digital portfolios for reflection on their growth experiences.
Our coaches are former distinguished classroom teachers and administrators who have participated in the Apple Distinguished Educator, CUE Rockstar Teacher, and Google Certified Educator and Innovator programs. And all of them have ample experience working with other educators.
In the 2018-19 academic year, Knowing Technologies will launch its fourth round of instructional coaching cohorts and now supports more than a dozen schools and over 100 alumni within the program (including the Santa Catalina school above). Many of them have also become mentors to subsequent cohorts and even the next instructional technology leaders within their schools.
Follow us here on our blog or on Twitter at @KnowingTechK12, and please let us know if you'd like to learn more about the work we do with schools. We're always happy to talk technology and learning!

For many years, Spice was only a problem on the streets in the UK, but as the "legal highs" addicted a down-and-out population, a drug problem of epidemic proportions hit the streets. Now, cannabinoid drugs are outlawed, and it appears the synthetic drug crisis has infiltrated the prison system as well.
Soon, there was a problem with the prisons overflowing, with many people pointing at drugs like K2 and Spice, which both contain cathinone, a type of cannabinoid that's much stronger and more dangerous than marijuana.
Before 2010, in England and Wales, cathinones could be bought in "head shops." Their use on the street quickly became a crisis, and the Parliament acted quickly to reclassify drugs like K2 and Spice as Class B drugs. Around the same time, "monkey dust", a drug that Americans know as "bath salts" became popular in the UK as well. Monkey Dust sold for as little as two pounds for a package. Spice, since outlawed, costs about twenty-five pounds.
And just like in America, both synthetic marijuana and bath salts were causing devastating effects. Small towns and cities dealt with dozens of overdoses in 2017, and people on the street are addicted. Some commit crimes that send them to jail or prison. Headlines tell raw tales of hallucinations and gruesome crimes that have been committed by Spice users.
Now, the Acting Prisons and Probation Ombudsman (PPO), Elizabeth Moody, says that the crisis that put so many in jail has found its way behind bars as well. Inmates are dying from the synthetic drugs that are widespread on the street.
Moody told the media at a press conference the specific: "It's completely out of control now in prisons – it's so readily available. Prisons are struggling with the consequences of bad batches of psychoactive substances, which can result in simultaneous multiple collapses of prisoners, unsustainable demand on prison resources, ambulances queuing up at the prison gate and, all too often, death." She also called for a national strategy to tackle the problem. She ways that prisons are struggling to stop the flow of contraband. The drugs are in high demand. People overdose accidentally but sometimes on purpose, too. Most of the overdoses result in death, which is unnecessary. Narcan has been found to reverse some synthetic drug overdoses, but often can take more than one bottle.
The ombudsman worries that there are drug problems in institutions that are outside the justice system as well, such as immigration removal centers. Her report offered ideas for better handling of the synthetic drug crisis within the justice system.

Every now and again you read a story at the right time in your life. Stuff was going on around me, and this story gave me perspective. It's wonderful when SciFi can help and inspire in the non-fiction world.
I am avoiding talking about the plot or the characters, because I don't want to give anything away.
The world building that takes place in this novel is astounding. It fully fleshes out a universe where sustainable economic systems work... sometimes you run into stories where planets only have one theme or purposes, like in Star Trek TNG - Risa the pleasure planet full of vacation resorts. This book actually makes sense.
I wouldn't have thought a story full of psychologists would be worth while, but Cherryh does an outstanding job.
This novel is definitely worth finishing.
When Ariane Emory (the first), head of Reseune genetic facilities, is murdered by Jordon Warrick, the next generation at Reseune has their shackles weakened just enough that they might be able to make a difference. Ariane Emory (the second), a replicate of Ariane Emory (the first), grows up in a tightly controlled environment with the hope that she will be just like her predecessor, but things don't work exactly as they hoped, she's starting where Ariane 1 left off, with the skill, instincts, and knowledge, but with the determination to improve upon the legacy of Ariane 1. In particular Ariane 2 wants to make sure that Justin Warrick, Jordon's son and Ariane 1's victim, has the opportunity to achieve his potential and realize his dreams...under her benevolent leadership, of course. When politics don't stop and wait for Ariane 2 to grow up, she must walk a fine line between controlling and being controlled.
In some ways Cyteen is the story of the murder of Ariane Emory, as the cover promises, but it is also much more than that. It is more the story of the ripples in the lives of a handful of people as her death creates a large empty space in the world. It's a story about power: The power that elder's have over youngers; that leaders have over successors; that mentally flexible people have over mentally rigid people; the power that love both gives and takes away.
If all of that sounds like it is complicated and wide-ranging, you'd be correct. It isn't that this couldn't be boiled down to a Hollywood movie plot, it's more that Cherryh builds a level of intrigue and detail that would be ill-served when boiled down.
I highly recommend this book for those that enjoy the complications of space operas, but wish they had a smaller cast.
I'm generally not a reader of sci-fi, but murder and intrigue set 3 thousand years in the future caught my attention. The detail of the story is extraordinary. What a marvelous imagination this author has! I want to hear more, but this is the only one of Ms. Cherryh's books currently available.
Where does Cyteen rank among all the audiobooks you've listened to so far?
What was one of the most memorable moments of Cyteen?
What does Gabra Zackman and Jonathan Davis bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you just read the book?
I read this story many years ago shortly after reading Downbelow Station and a few of the other, related novels in the Alliance Space universe. The world depicted in Cyteen made a nice contrast with the other societies created by Cherryh. But listening to it by itself, I found the story excrutiatingly slow with very little plot. If you are an Asimov fan, this book will put you to sleep. If you prefer Heinlein, you might like the introspective nature of the book. I recently purchased the sequel to this book (Regenesis), and I doubt I will give it a try. Of the related novels, I most enjoyed Merchanter's Luck.
I first read Cyteen 25 years ago; nothing dates faster than imaginings of future technology (talk of fiche and faxes for example), but the core ideas behind Cyteen remain intriguing. The slower first part begins with an ageing Ariane Emory in charge of a sprawling business and scientific empire, the main product of which is gene-manipulated humans, the azi. From the moment azi are born from artificial wombs, they are trained and conditioned by carefully designed drug assisted ''tape' learning to be perfect workers, soldiers, or whatever. There's probably a bit much overview info on the political and scientific history and situation (the sort of stuff easily skim-read in a written novel), but there's also a murder mystery, a sinister security system, political terrorists and plenty of intrigue - all picking up pace as the story goes along.
I'm not sure I've ever read science fiction quite like it. The depth of political analysis is astounding and well-balanced by masterful storytelling that vacillates the reader through ever increasing levels of tension and surprise.
Very much enjoyed. I am not used to stories of this length and thought it would be hard to follow, it was the complete opposite I could not stop. Left me wanting more.
Would you listen to Cyteen again? Why?
Yes, I will as new ones are brought to audio books. I've listened to most that are already available in audio format. There are several classics that I would love to see recorded. Can't remember titles after a number of years but she had written a series many years ago about a female warrior and her companion. Great series.
The many things that I like about all of Cherryh's writings. A believable futuristic society; well-developed, sympathetic characters and interesting aliens.
What about Gabra Zackman and Jonathan Davis 's performance did you like?
If a narrator is good you are caught up in the story and not derailed by the narrator's voice or speech characteristics. Both of these narrators had me listening to the tale without thinking about their voices.
Cyteen is an excellent title for a movie as well as the book.
Cyteen won multiple award when it came out because it explored the future of a humanity that could shape itself and how the limits of the universe, time, and distance would change humanity. It is a great and DEEP novel.
Having said this, I don't consider it her best work. The book lumbers through detail and the first third of the book has not real main character, until the woman who dies at the beginning starts to grow up. To me Cyteen is not as tightly written as Cherryh's later work. But Cyteen does a good job of exploring the effects of genetics, environmental control, and human evolutional limitations.
This book is not among my top 10 audio books, though it was an thought provoking book. I am glad I listened to it.
I love C. J. Cherryh books. I wish they had started with any of her other series like the Chanur and Foreigner series. I love her exploration of human/alien relations.
When you realize the Hindu religion may have been truly started with control of human genetics and rebuild of a life.
I liked the use of the male voice in a dry archivist manner. Those passages were a more academic exposure to the books underlying theme. However, the author and original editors should have shortened and tightened these passages. BUT Jonathan's voice acting went well with the material.
Gabra did better with the women's voices. The main male character sounded too whiney in the voice she gave him. It portrayed him more as a childish whiner than as a troubled "special". But I liked her voice very much and would love to here it in other strong female lead sci fi. I loved her portrayal of the main female older self.
No. It was too slow in the first third and too long at 36 hours.
If you are not one to explore deep subjects, then avoid this book. If you want to hear thoughts on a very deep subject we are just starting into, this is a good listen, not a great one, but solid.
Although well read, this book sent me to sleep within fifteen minutes or so, I tried several times to listen to it.
The start of the book was so boring! I like at least a little interesting action at the beginning of a book to keep my interest.
I realise a foundation must be set out to give the story structure, but if it make you sleepy then it's not for me. I guess some would love the political type boring banter it starts with.
I wouldn't class this as a murder mystery at all and it never really gets to where you want it to go. Some of the more fascinating aspects are never explored while others get way too much attention.


T-I-R-I-N-G. No. You were not. You were tirED.
The thing is, the students aren't the only ones to get this wrong. I have had teachers admit that the whole -ing or -ed vocabulary is confusing and just plain weird. In response to this, I tried to think of what is wrong with how the students are using these different words, and made a bulletin board.
Hopefully the students find this board as useful as the teachers do!
Yes, this will also be in the dropbox under English Boards. There was really one main rule. People use -ed, and things use -ing. Wait, wait, wait. Don't start yelling at me. I know that's not the actual rule. I know. I speak English. Sometimes. But it's a good first rule for our students. Baseball is never tirED. Baseball is a thing. And really, you aren't tirING… I hope. The thing is, think about what your students are going to be trying to say. MOST of the time, they want to use the adjective with the -ed ending for themselves or their friends.
In this board, I also included a list of potential words the students use and practice sentences. Recently, I added an equation portion. For example, "I am boring. = I am not fun." and "I am bored. = This class is not fun." When I have used these equation sentences with students, it seems to help them understand the difference between using -ed and -ing words.
Hopefully you'll be able to help your students too!

Q: User specific data in Solr index Our solr index needs to have user specific status information for about 20 000 records. Each user (about 30 000) can have a status on each of this items. The status information is something like "started, success, failed).
Its required to filter based on status and also facet on those status.
Is using Dynamic fields (like "userStatus_1234" the way to go or is it a better id to have a multi value field and add "userStatus_1234:started" in there?

A: The latter. Having a large number of dynamic fields can overload your cache, as each field will have its own. It's usually better to structure it through a single field and query for a special value.
As the number of documents changes increase it might however be more suitable to have a separate index to search for (doc, status, user) and process that, but your solution will probably work just fine. As the number of fields increase (if every user has a status for a document, you're getting close to 30k entries for a single document), you'll want to evaluate the performance with a separate core.
