unraveling my tapestry

Towleroad notes that the Victory Fund reports that Stanford Law School professor Kathleen Sullivan's name is being mentioned as a potential nominee to fill Souter's position on the SCOTUS: "Sullivan's name appears on lists compiled by the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and numerous law blogs. She is the founder and director of the Stanford Constitutional Law Center, and served as dean of Stanford Law School from 1999 to 2004. Sullivan has filed amicus curiae briefs in some of the most important Supreme Court cases involving LGBT rights including Bowers v. Hardwick and Lawrence v. Texas."

You can become a fan of Swine Flu on Facebook. I bet it has a lot more fans than H1N1.

Somehow, reading about the flu I remembered the picture of my grandson so I posted it today.

 
Speaking of Facebook, I just found out that, according to the quiz “Which Tim Burton Character Are You?” I am Sweeney Todd and I have had something happen in my past which makes me constantly long for revenge or justice. I am wise, have my own specific talent, which I use in more ways than one. I love adventure and take risks yet are careful and prepared for what happens. Thank God I wasn’t Pirelli.

 The New York Times notes that with the choice of Carol Ann Duffy as England’s poet laureate, the post held by such poets as Dryden, Tennyson, Wordsworth and Ted Hughes, the honor went to a woman for the first time. It only took 341 years.

 Various news outlets are reporting the VP Joe Biden will visit Bosnia, Serbia and Kosovo during the week of May 18. I wonder how he will get there,since he has recommended  not flying.

Harvard has closed the dental school’s treatment clinic and the university suspended classes at all three of its major schools on the Longwood medical campus as a precaution after a thirdyear dental student developed a “probable case” of swine flu.

 Miss California, Carrie Prejean, has appeared in a National Organization for Marriage ad, speaking against marriage equality. She also told "Today Show" host Matt Lauer that she was attacked for giving her opinion that she will do whatever it takes to [rptect marriage. The New York Daily News notes she feels “. . . the National Organization for Marriage basically just respects, yum, you know, marriages and people who support it.” The News has a poll asking what readers think of her cause and today the votes show the lead response was: “She just needs to stop talking and go away.” Meanwhile Miss USA pageant officials feel she has become an opportunist, releasing a statement: “In the entire history of the Miss USA, no reigning title holder has so readily committed her face and voice to a more divisive or polarizing issue.” The pageant officials also note that she seems to have forgotten her commitment to the Special Olympics as she speaks out against marriage equality. In other news reports, it has been noted that while she put truth over a tiara, she has not been totally content with her God-given attributes, as she accepted support from pageant officials who paid for breast implants just prior to the competition.

I work in marketing but sometimes I wonder about the profession: Wizmark is a a one-of-a-kind, fully functional interactive device for urinals that can talk, sing, or flash a string of lights around a promotional message when greeting a "visitor". The large anti-glare, water-proof viewing screen is strategically located just above the drain to ensure guaranteed viewing without interruptions. The Web site does not say if they are motion or moisture activated.
