Selfish, ignorant, dangerous: Europe's anger over Cameron speech
BERLIN/PARIS (Reuters) - Britain's European partners heaped scorn on Prime Minister David Cameron's demand for radical reform of the EU and promise of an "in-out" referendum on UK membership, calling it reckless and ignorant of EU decision making.
"If Britain wants to leave Europe we will roll out the red carpet for you," quipped French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, a barbed riposte to Cameron who last year used the same phrase to invite wealthy French tax exiles to Britain.
Demanding changes in the rules was as if Britain had joined a football club and then suddenly said "let's play rugby", said Fabius.
German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said Britain could not treat Europe like an "a la carte" menu from which it could pick and choose policies it liked.
"Cherry-picking is not an option," he said.
Martin Schulz, the head of the European Parliament which with the European Commission was the butt of Cameron's criticism of "sclerotic" EU decision-making, was just plain angry.
Britain was pointing the finger but was "overwhelmingly to blame for all the delays in Europe", said Schulz. "He just wants change in the single interest of Britain and that's not fair."
In Germany, where Angela Merkel's conservative sympathies for Cameron's party are overshadowed by anger at their exit from the centre-right EU bloc and his veto of her fiscal pact, the view is that the UK premier has painted himself into a corner.
German politicians face eurosceptic pressures of their own but say Cameron pays too much attention to a loud minority.
"Cameron is using EU membership as a tactical tool for domestic politics," said Manuel Sarrazin of the German Greens.
The response to Cameron's long-awaited speech was not uniformly negative. Among sympathisers was Czech Prime Minister Petr Necas, whose government was the only one other than Britain's not to sign the fiscal pact. He said he shared Cameron's wish for a "more flexible, more open" EU.
Mark Verheijen, a lawmaker from Dutch Premier Mark Rutte's Liberal Party which shares Cameron's concerns but does not want an opt-out, called it a "strong speech" with good reform ideas.
But such voices were largely drowned out by those who saw danger for the European project if countries were allowed to demand opt-outs from EU policies they did not like.
Carl Bildt, the Swedish foreign minister, said the idea of flexible membership floated by Cameron "sounds fine" but would lead to there being "no Europe at all. Just a mess."
PLAYING WITH FIRE
Even if opinion to Britain were warmer, it is far from clear how it could initiate and successfully pilot a treaty negotiation, EU officials said.
Guy Verhofstadt, former Belgian prime minister and now leader of the liberals in the European Parliament, said the British premier was "playing with fire" by trying to renegotiate EU membership and put it to the vote.
"His speech was full of inconsistencies, displaying a degree of ignorance about how the EU works," said Verhofstadt.
Verhofstadt said granting Britain wholesale opt-outs from common European rules and regulations risked precipitating an unravelling of the EU and its internal market.
The alarm is not confined to Europe. Britain has also been warned by the White House and a host of business leaders that it would lose global influence if it left the EU.
Joseph Nye, a former U.S. defence department official and professor at Harvard, said "Europe with Britain in it is much more powerful and important than without it". President Barack Obama "very much wants Britain to remain in the EU", Nye told a panel at the Davos World Economic Forum.
Among those defending Cameron were Austrian Eurosceptic Hans-Christian Strache of the far-right Freedom Party, who called the criticism of the British leader "hysterical".
Finland's Europe minister, Alex Stubb, said he did not think Cameron wanted to quit the EU.
"He wants to get this discussion done and clarify Britain's position in the EU once and for all. In that sense I do respect his line," he said.
Cameron gave EU leaders advance warning of his speech and some, even if they did not like what they heard, agreed with him that it was high time for an honest debate about reform.
"It is time, as Cameron said, for a more intense debate on democracy and transparency in the EU," said Sweden's EU Affairs Minister Birgitta Ohlsson. "But we can discuss these issues within the EU."
EU diplomats said plans for a referendum in 2015-2017, based on proposals that had not yet been proposed much less negotiated, allowed for far too much uncertainty.
"Basically it boiled down to: 'Let's re-elect me, let's then change our ties with Europe, and then let's have a referendum on something that's not defined yet'," said one EU diplomat.
Peter Mandelson, a former EU trade commissioner and veteran British government minister from Cameron's Labour opposition, called it a "schizophrenic" speech and said Europe would not respond positively to being treated as a "cafeteria service where you bring your own tray and leave with what you want".
Jolyon Howorth, a British scholar of European politics, said the EU might be better off without Britain as it would then be free to work towards the vision of a federal Europe, "unhampered by the brake-man on the caboose".

Vaccinating children against rotavirus may indirectly protect adults too, study finds

[EMBARGOED FOR JAN. 24, 2013] Pediatric rotavirus vaccination also indirectly protects unvaccinated adults from the highly contagious cause of severe diarrhea and vomiting, suggests a new study published in Clinical Infectious Diseases and available online. The findings suggest pediatric immunization against the virus may be more cost effective than previously thought, given rotavirus-related health care costs among adults.
Before the vaccine, rotavirus caused an estimated 24 million outpatient visits, 2.4 million hospitalizations, and 453,000 deaths in infants and young children worldwide each year. Following the introduction of the pediatric rotavirus vaccine in the United States, declines in the disease have been seen in both vaccinated and unvaccinated children.
Evan J. Anderson, MD, now at Emory University, and a team of researchers at Northwestern Memorial and Children's Memorial Hospitals in Chicago looked into whether the vaccine's benefits extended to unvaccinated adults. They compared the prevalence and genotypes of rotavirus in stool samples collected from approximately 3,500 adults before widespread implementation of pediatric rotavirus vaccination (2006-2007) with the prevalence in samples collected from 2008 to 2010. The researchers found the number of unvaccinated adults who had rotavirus was almost halved in the years after the vaccine was introduced for use in children in the U.S.
"In adults with diarrhea who see the doctor and who have testing for bacterial infections, we noticed an almost 50 percent decrease in rotavirus," said Dr. Anderson. With previous research estimating $152 million in total adult inpatient hospital charges related to rotavirus each year in the U.S., this latest data may make pediatric vaccination "much more cost effective than previously believed."
Dramatic declines in rotavirus prevalence were evident in both adults admitted to the hospital and in those treated as outpatients. The findings suggest that "vaccinating children can protect adults from rotavirus by decreasing the amount of rotavirus circulating in the community," Dr. Anderson said. Because rotavirus genotypes change from year to year, the researchers also noted that "ongoing surveillance is needed to determine whether this impact is sustained."
The positive effect of pediatric rotavirus vaccination programs on the prevalence of disease among both young and old, vaccinated or not, underscores the need to support and encourage vaccination, Dr. Anderson said. "By improving the health of children, we indirectly improve the health of adults."

Iranian Guard asserts power over Strait of Hormuz
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) ? The top commander of Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard insists his force controls shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, gateway for one fifth of the world's oil.
Sanctions over Iran's nuclear program have battered its economy and collapsed its currency. The West believes Iran might move to make nuclear weapons. Iran denies that.
Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari said the Guard protects ships in the Gulf and the strait. His comments were posted on the Guard's website Wednesday.
Guard commanders in the past have threatened to block the waterway over Western sanctions.
Jafari's remarks were apparently aimed at highlighting the Guard's control of the strategic waterway.
Military officials say Iran has a plan to shut the strait but insist that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would make the final decision.

Self Improvement: Advice On Becoming Who You Were Meant To ...
Personal development is an important part of being the best that you can be. From developing a healthier lifestyle, to developing better spending habits. It?s always a good idea to improve different aspects of your life. You may never stop developing yourself personally, because there is always a way to improve in some area in your life. You are sure to have a much happier and healthier life if you find a way to develop and maintain good habits every day.
Keep in mind the well-known saying that you can?t please everybody all of the time. Your main concern should be yourself. This doesn?t mean you should place your own preferences above those of everyone else; however, you should take your happiness and your own opinion seriously and take good care of yourself. Stay true to who you are as well as your moral compass.
Avoid making a self improvement goal that is unnecessarily complicated, or not well defined. You should make your goal very specific. These are the kinds of goals that will get definite results.
If you find yourself consistently falling short of self-imposed goals and guidelines, step back and assess the possible problems. Look for resources related to your issues and ask your friends about their struggles. You may realize you have been unrealistic, not having given yourself the means necessary to achieve your goal, or that perhaps you have set too high a mark.
You cannot provide care for others unless you care for yourself. No matter your path, or whether you?re failing or thriving, take time out to restore and rest yourself.
It may become discouraging to begin developing better personal habits and lifestyles, but once you start noticing your life developing towards a better future, you will never want to stop. You can always develop better ways to do things and it?s important to always try hard towards any personal development goals you have.

'Parenthood' Finale: Season 4 Ending Will Be 'Very Satisfying,' Says Jason Katims (VIDEO)
It's been a very emotional fourth season of "Parenthood," but when the finale airs tonight (Tuesday, January 22 at 10 p.m. EST on NBC), fans will be satisfied, says the show's creator, Jason Katims.
"There are definitely some emotional moments and there's a lot of resolution in the season finale," Katims told The Hollywood Reporter. "I think the way the show ends has a very beautiful montage at the end, which came out really great. I think it'll be very satisfying. I can't predict the amount of Kleenex, but I'm proud of the episode."
As you prepare your Kleenex, watch two sneak peeks of the "Parenthood" Season 4 finale below.
In the first, Sydney (Savannah Paige Rae) gets brutally honest with her parents Joel (Sam Jaeger) and Julia (Erika Christensen) about how she feels about her potential new step-brother Victor (Xolo Mariduena).
"I don't think it's a good idea for Victor to be adopted," Sydney says in the clip below. "He's not truly a part of this family and some stupid ceremony isn't going to change that."
Katims said Victor's storyline will be resolved in the "Parenthood" finale. "[Julia's] decision seems to be in the direction of moving forward with this adoption on the faith that she will forge this emotional connection with Victor," he told THR. "The final episode is watching how she goes about doing that."
Also in the "Parenthood" finale, Drew (Miles Heizer) gets some good news -- as you'll see in the clip below -- but it may not all be happy tears for him. "The journey for Drew over the course of the series has been a real coming-of-age story," Katims told THR. "Certainly having to deal with something so big like [Amy's abortion] is something that's going to really have an influence on what happens with him next."
For more on the season finale of "Parenthood," click over to The Hollywood Reporter.
Tune in for the Season 4 finale of "Parenthood" on Tuesday, January 22 at 10 p.m. EST on NBC.

France: 1,000 African troops now in Mali
SEGOU, Mali (AP) ? France says there are now about 1,000 African troops in Mali to take part in the military intervention to dislodge Islamic militants from power.
Col. Thierry Burkhard, the French military spokesman, says the soldiers come from Nigeria, Togo, Benin, Niger and Chad.
France has 2,150 forces in Mali, and has received logistical support from Western allies and intelligence from the United States.
But the French ultimately hope that West African soldiers will take the lead alongside Malian troops in securing the country, a former French colony.
Neighboring African countries are expected to contribute around 3,000 troops but concerns about the mission have delayed some from sending their promised troops.
France launched its operation Jan. 11, a day after the Islamists ventured south from their strongholds and seized a town.

Democrats Looking Past Charlie Crist for 2014
A group of prominent Democrats alarmed by a potential gubernatorial bid by a recent convert to the party -- former Republican Gov. Charlie Crist -- is trying to draft former Miami Mayor Manny Diaz into the race.
Here's one interesting twist: Diaz, an ex-Democrat who won elections in 2001 and 2005 as an independent, would have to change his own party affiliation to run in the 2014 primary.
The pro-Diaz contingent sees Crist as a political opportunist whose betrayal of the GOP would unify Republican voters behind the unpopular incumbent, Rick Scott. Crist once touted himself as a conservative but left the party to avoid losing to Marco Rubio in the 2010 Republican Senate primary. The former governor went on to campaign for President Obama in 2012, speak at his national convention and most recently, change his voter registration from independent to Democratic.
But the politically remodeled Crist stands out in a state where the Democratic bench has thinned in the face of Republican domination for more than a decade. The Democratic nominee in 2010, Alex Sink, narrowly lost to Scott but has been criticized for running a lackluster campaign. The only major candidate, state Sen. Nan Rich, is a little-known liberal Democrat who faces an uphill battle in the nation?s largest swing state.
So some Democrats are turning to the less partisan Diaz, who left City Hall in 2009 with a legacy of downtown revitalization, despite some blemishes. The Cuban-born lawyer would have obvious appeal in a state where 14 percent of the registered voters are Hispanic. He also has national fundraising connections through his one-time leadership of the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
Among the Democrats who have talked to Diaz about a potential campaign is former U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek of Miami, whose own Senate bid in 2010 was doomed when Crist became an independent and siphoned away support from liberals and moderates. Rubio trounced them both, ending two long political careers.
?Manny Diaz is a successful, proven leader, a friend to Democrats and a moderate with the ability to raise the resources to run,? said Meek on Friday. ?I think he?s beyond seriously considering it. He is calling people and testing the waters.?
Diaz recently published a book recapping his political career with a foreword from his fellow independent and political ally, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He did not return calls from National Journal on Friday.?
Democratic strategist Steve Schale, who helped Obama win Florida in 2008 and 2012, said he?s not convinced Diaz would be a stronger candidate than Crist. President Obama mentioned Crist's name in a press conference this week while criticizing Republicans for being excessively partisan.
?The former governor is a well-known quantity from the beginning, and that?s an advantage he has over any other Democratic candidate," Schale said. "He?s in a better place in the polls and can raise more cash. Democrats also like him despite the fact that they all know he used to be a Republican.?
A survey released this week by the Democratic robo-calling firm Public Policy Polling found that 70 percent of Democrats view Crist favorably and more than half prefer him as a candidate for governor over Sink, Rich, former Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio and Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer. By contrast, only one out of three voters approve of Scott. He even faces hurdles among Republicans, who approve of him by only 49 percent. In a potential matchup between Crist and Scott, the former governor has a double-digit edge.
?Rick Scott continues to be one of the most unpopular governors in the country and most Democrats are embracing Charlie Crist now that he?s officially joined the party,? said Dean Debnam, president of Public Policy Polling, in a press release about the poll. ?It?s early, but Crist looks like the favorite if he tries to get his old office back next year.?

Review: Rust and Bone | Film Reviews | Gambit New Orleans News ...
"I'm hungry," are the first words spoken in French director Jacques Audiard's tough-as-nails love story Rust and Bone. The line comes from a little boy named Sam whose apparently homeless father Ali (Matthias Schoenaerts) proceeds to feed him from scraps he finds on a passenger train. It's a fitting start for a film that chooses personal tragedy as its real starting point and goes on to depict the modern world as a relentlessly harsh and pitiless place. Everyone's hungry in Rust and Bone, but it's only through raw physicality that any of the movie's characters find meaning and rise above pain and emptiness.
??On paper, Rust and Bone is the sort of melodrama few people find appealing. It stars Marion Cotillard, the immensely talented Oscar-winning French actress (for La Vie En Rose) who recently expanded her American audience with key roles in Inception and The Dark Knight Rises. She plays Stephanie, an unhappy orca trainer at a cheesy marine park who loses her legs below the knees in a freak accident. Former boxer Ali becomes a nightclub bouncer, then begins fighting in dangerous bare-knuckle bouts designed to separate violence-hungry gamblers from their cash. His straightforward, almost childlike view of the world keeps him free of emotional entanglements and provides Stephanie with the perspective she needs to overcome post-accident depression. Will these two damaged souls wind up together? Is that a movie anyone really wants to see?
??Audiard manages to make Rust and Bone interesting, first by refusing to indulge in the sentiment that lesser directors would extract from such a story. The film is set in the idyllic and sun-drenched south of France, but Audiard reveals the same strip malls, big-box stores and tourist traps that blight similar stateside locales. Stephanie and Ali inhabit a working-class world where happy endings are few. (Ali moonlights as an installer of hidden cameras used to spy on employees and bust unions.) The visual style is stark but impressionistic. When Stephanie emerges back into a largely indifferent world, the beaches are lush, but the light is harsh and glaring.
??Both Cotillard and Schoenaerts deliver emotionally dry performances that support Audiard's organic realism. They give their characters' epic struggles the weight of authenticity, and the intimacy they build feels earned. Remarkably, Cotillard's especially moving turn was abetted by computer-generated imagery ? the illusion of her physical loss was created digitally in post-production, leaving her free to focus on her character's inner life. The results are completely convincing. Rust and Bone isn't always easy to watch, but Cotillard makes the tradeoff worthwhile. ? KEN KORMAN

The Best Guide When It Comes To Having A Home Based Business ...
TIP! Talk to an accountant and go over business expenses that you should be able to write off on your taxes. Make sure you have this information before beginning your business so you can track the expenses.
The idea of creating and running your home based business may be exciting; however, there will still be obstacles to surmount. Anyone who is dedicated can use this article as a springboard to better business practices.
TIP! Are you selling old or used books from your home business? Many sites allow you to sell books online. It may be smart to use several of these sites at once.
Try to involve your family in the business, as it helps them understand your working needs. If your sister creates websites, maybe she can donate her time to the cause. Your wife may be able to help cater your special events. Children are great at stuffing envelopes or even sorting mail.
TIP! Know that you must learn how to accept people?s opinions. Just because an opinion is not agreed with, does not make it a silly idea.
You need to determine if you need a business partner to help. Having a partner can have some advantages, including the knowledge your partner brings as well as the money the partner can provide. That said, choose someone you work well with.
Cash Flow
TIP! Be sure to keep your residential phone line and business phone line separate. You do not want to take the risk of your business phone being answered unprofessionally and it should have a business specific message on the voice mail.
Your cash flow management must be efficient. Take pains to carefully manage your cash flow, as it is critical to your success. Be aware of who needs immediate payment and who is prepared to wait a while. Keep funds available for emergency situations and borrow only if the money can be repaid.
TIP! Keep a close eye on competitors and trends in your field of business. You want to make sure you are constantly providing customers with what they need.
You will find a lot of good advice about home business ownership on the Internet. Be careful, though, of the online scams. Many website sell guides to information already available for free, and other information is mostly worthless. Some scams lure their victims into paying for access to high-quality work that does not really exist while others may provide fake online classes. Remember, if it seems like too good of a deal, it probably is.
TIP! Working at home requires an office. Your office doesn?t need to be huge, but it does need to be inviting.
A online business is going to mean long hours spent on the job, but you must find time to leave the suit and tie behind. Take personal time for your family and friends so that you can decompress and relax. If you?re trying to keep yourself busy every day all day, you may become burnt out and have trouble starting up again. Have a schedule set for business and home hours. Only break this schedule if you must.
TIP! You should let all your friends and relatives know about your business venture. Make sure there is a freebie or some type of discount offered when you start your business.
Start your business on the basis of an area which you already know plenty about. A lot of people who want to start home businesses think they can learn on the job. While this can be done, there will be fewer mistakes made if you learn what you can first. Figure out everything that you consider a strength, and then make your business revolve around that.
TIP! Begin a business only if you know it can make money. Research the market to see if it is saturated.
Follow all of the laws in regards to your work from home business. Fines may result if you do not abide by the regulations in place. Aside from reading and rereading laws to follow them correctly, don?t make enemies with anyone else. Keep a low profile. That translates into limitations on signs you can post and the amount of traffic noise that will be tolerated. In this situation, reduced visibility in your surroundings is a good thing.
TIP! Starting a home business does not have to be a difficult process. There are many businesses you can start without a lot of cost involved.
Register your company by setting up a DBA license. Options for doing so can be researched through your bank or local Chamber of Commerce. You will find this to be inexpensive and allows for separation of business and personal accounts.
TIP! Keep your work area safe. You should definitely have a fire extinguisher and active smoke detectors.
Take a tax deduction for your home business enterprise Internet connection. A portion of the service cost may be deductible, but this may be reduced if your family uses it for personal things too.
Mailing List
TIP! You should be prepared to give a soundbite that can simply explain your business. If you can succinctly explain what you business does in a few words, you will likely impress clients in a meeting and attract customers.
Make a mailing list. Maintain healthy communications, but avoid becoming ?spammy? and losing the customer. Some people use a mailing list to promote things such as a sale or a certain promotion. Another approach is to schedule regular newsletters, coupons, or product information emails. Add a signup area on your website for people to join your list.
TIP! Make sure your website it memorable and eye catching. Don?t choose something long or hard to spell.
Websites are key to operating your own work from home business. These days, business almost always need their own web presence in order to succeed. Make sure that your domain name is relevant and that your content is organized well.
TIP! Make a list of everything you need to start your home business. Once you have a list, do some research to find the best deals for your business needs.
Promoting your business can be quick and easy once you know how to do it. A great idea is to create a site online for your business. A website can be created in just a day. You can often either register your business domain for free or a small fee. When your profits increase, you?ll see the benefits firsthand.
TIP! If you aren?t a fan of people, you might want to consider a home business. Yes, it?s true.
People want to work from home as they can be their own boss or set a flexible schedule. By taking the information from this article to heart, you can get yourself on the road to success.
Share and Enjoy

Prioritizing Rental Property Repairs and Maintenance
Whenever a repair request or complaint crosses a landlord?s desk, they need to assign a level of urgency to the task.? Like any business, rental property doesn?t automatically dispense monthly cash like an ATM.? Tenants and the property itself require constant care and attention.
Here are the four levels of priority we assign to rental property issues and opportunities as they become known.
1.??? Health and Safety.? Any conditions that pose a risk to the health and safety of tenants, residents* and visitors must be addressed immediately.? In addition to a list of plumbers, electricians and other service providers who offer 24 hour emergency services, most landlords keep an emergency fund or line of credit available to cover these costs.
2.??? Lease Compliance. If the landlord doesn?t provide every property feature and service stated in the lease, their non-compliance could result in tenant complaints and high vacancy rates - even civil litigation.? Examples might be the number of parking places allocated to a tenant or repair of laundry facilities within a reasonable period of time.
3.??? Regulatory Compliance.? Municipalities often provide a checklist for landlords to conduct their own regulatory compliance inspections of their property.? Most inspection items relate to health and safety, but not all.? Check with the governing authority where the property is located for a list of laws and regulations applicable to rental property.? When appropriate, have experts conduct inspections of the structure and systems.
4.??? Value Improvement. Re-investing to improve rental property not only supports future rent increases, but it also lowers turnover.? Both drive a better number to the owner?s bottom line.? Keep a list of projects that will increase the value of the property whenever there are resources available to complete them.
Questions?? Please drop me a line:? john@jsrealproperty.com
* A resident resides on the property and is registered with the landlord, but is not a party to the lease.? An example is a tenant?s minor child.

Nashville, Season 1
Quiet, soulful hottie Gunnar Jon LeMay/ABC
Talking to David Plotz about Wednesday?s episode of Nashville got me ponderin? a mess of things, like why the show is so unsentimental about what music can and can?t do and whether Scarlett is a secret narcissist. After the chat, though, commenters fixated on a very specific Plotzian claim, which I feel obligated to address here before the ghosts of Betty Friedan and Mae West swoop down to revoke my feminism card.
Basically, Plotz believes that the male characters on Nashville are far fresher and dewier and prettier than the female characters. With the exception of Scarlett, he says, the women are either intimidatingly tough (Juliette) or, you know, old (Rayna, sister Tandy, Peggy, hot reporter, cougar agent). Meanwhile, the guys read as young, soft, and uncomplicatedly attractive, from stubbly Avery to baby-faced Gunnar to Teddy to Liam to Sean. ?It seems like the idea is to make a show that women in their 40s will like, with women who are attainably beautiful and age appropriate, and then male arm candy,? Plotz concludes.?
To which I said at first (with all the respect I could muster, given that David is my boss), pshaw. Because, obviously, Rayna and Juliette are gorgeous, light years away from ?attainably? so, with their toned bodies and luminous skin and hair tousled by invisible winds of pure sex appeal. If Scarlett is an exception, she is a huge one, and Gunnar?s one-time girlfriend Hailey has dark tresses, a lovely complexion (probably all that yogurt), and flashing, bottomless eyes. Furthermore, though the male side of Nashville abounds with older dad-types (Glenn, Coleman), gross, dried-up rockers (the Revel Kings), unremarkable-looking producers (Randy, Marshall Evans), and humans who resemble bulldogs (Lamar), I cannot name any equivalently average-looking women. If pressed, I would have guessed that Nashville expected slightly more, in the looks department, from the women than from the guys?and that in that respect it joined the ranks of probably every network television show, ever.
But now I?m wondering whether there might be something to Plotz?s thesis. Not the part about the women being ?attainably attractive? (though I can understand how Rayna comes across as more hardworking and decent than sexy, even as Deacon, her counterpart, is pure smolder), but the part about the guys being unusually objectified. Nashville does boast an alarming number of extremely good-looking male characters. They fit very specific archetypes of hotness: indie rock hottie (Liam), young ambitious hottie (Avery), quiet soulful hottie (Gunnar), seasoned/wounded hottie (Deacon), jailbird hottie (Jason), choirboy/quarterback hottie (Sean).??
Perhaps the show?s aesthetic of young, pretty men reveals its debt to the soap opera genre. (Aren?t daytime soaps always producing gorgeous pool boys and surgeons from their sleeves, Houdini-like, to titillate female viewers? Prototype: Josh Duhamel.) Television in general could be growing more equitable, or more interested in appealing to 100 percent of its audience, rather than 50 percent. Or maybe the explanation lies with country music: the brawny physicality of its sound, the adoration of the cowboy, something else in the genre?s mythology that makes us think of guys as sex objects.
Or maybe, just maybe, it has to do with Callie Khouri herself. Don?t forget that in Thelma & Louise, she wrote two attainably beautiful, early-middle-aged women, and one cartoonishly sexy archetypal bad boy ? played by unknown, fresh-faced Brad Pitt. Remember his abs in that movie? Yes, you do.
Whatever the reason, I applaud Nashville?s commitment to XY eye candy. There?s nothing wrong with using your TV as a portal to fantasies of flawless male beauty, especially if doing so makes you contemplate a privilege straight guys have enjoyed for time immemorial.
Or as a Nashvillian might say, yee-haw.??????

Bernal hits Sundance to share tragic border story

PARK CITY, Utah (AP) ? Gael Garcia Bernal has journeyed north to the Sundance Film Festival to share the tragic story of another traveler.
The Mexican actor is a producer on the immigration documentary "Who Is Dayani Cristal?", in which Bernal also appears on-screen to dramatize the path that the film's subject took to the United States.
Bernal and director Marc Silver sought to unravel the mystery of a body found rotting in the Arizona desert in August 2010. The man bore the tattoo "Dayani Cristal" across his chest.
The films blends interviews and conventional documentary segments with Bernal's travels through Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico to reveal the circumstances that led the man on a 2,000-mile trek that ended in the desert. And it provides a tearful answer for its title when it reveals the identity of Dayani Cristal.
Bernal and Silver said the intent was to put a human face on one of the anonymous hundreds who have died in the Arizona desert seeking better lives in the United States.
Americans often think the trail of illegal immigration begins in Mexico just south of the border, but the film recounts a perilous journey on rafts, along remote trails and on the top of trains. Migrants can fall asleep and tumble off train cars to their deaths. Gangs might rob, abduct or kill them. And they face the constant chance of being caught and sent back home ? where, as one migrant along the way tells Bernal, they simply start all over again.
"We hear about this or we see it from a distance, but it's very rare you get to see it from firsthand experience," Bernal told the film's audience after a Friday screening, the day after it premiered as part of the 11-day festival's opening-night lineup.
The film reveals the story of a man with a wife and three young children, a hard worker who toiled in corn and bean fields but had made repeated trips across the border to find better work to support his family.
The documentary also captures a cruel irony: once it's been identified, the body is sent by plane back home at the Honduran government's expense, a trip of a few hours compared to the 58-day trek it took to reach Arizona.
"Who Is Dayani Cristal?" is one of 16 entries in the 11-day festival's world documentary competition.

Colombia: Canadian, Peruvian gold miners kidnapped
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) ? Colombia's military chief says the country's second-largest rebel band has kidnapped five gold mining workers in a northern province. They include a Canadian, two Peruvians and two Colombians.
Gen. Alejandro Navas tells The Associated Press that the five were seized Friday morning by two dozen rebels of the leftist National Liberation Army in the Bolivar state municipality of Norosi.
The rebel band known as the ELN has an estimated 1,500 figthers is far smaller than the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, which is currently engaged in peace talks with the government in Cuba.
The ELN has been seeking to join those talks but without success.
Unlike the larger group, the ELN has not renounced ransom kidnappings.
