Second Chance producers on show changes, Frankenstein inspirations and more
By Natalie Abrams
Sergei Bachlakov/Fox
What would you do if you could cure cancer, stave off disease, or even live forever? That is the driving force behind Fox's new drama Second Chance (née Lookinglass, née The Frankenstein Code).
Inspired by Mary Shelley's classic novel Frankenstein, Second Chance is a modern-day series about a corrupt sheriff who is killed, then brought back to life in the body of a younger man (Rob Kazinsky) to fight crime. The magical remedy that facilitates Jimmy Pritchard's return, however, serves a higher purpose: Twin scientists Mary and Otto Goodwin (Dilshad Vadsaria and Adhir Kalyan), who head up a tech empire called Lookinglass, need his blood to keep Mary from dying from an aggressive form of cancer.
However, Pritchard is nobody's guinea pig and isn't pleased to discover his new and improved young body will basically fall apart every 24 hours lest he return to the Lookinglass fish tank that keeps him alive. (Kazinsky speaks at length about how Jimmy feels about this here.) Nevertheless, this new life provides Jimmy a blank slate, and he is faced with the age-old question: If you got a second chance, would you make the same mistakes over again?
EW sat down with executive producers Howard Gordon and Rand Ravich on the Vancouver-based set to discuss that question, among other ethical issues that come with playing God, and the dynamic between Pritchard and his highly suspicious son Duval (Tom DeKay). Plus: They address the evolution from the show's original concept of the Frankenstein story. [Editor's note: This interview took place before the series title was changed from Lookinglass to Second Chance.] Also, read our full interview with Kazinsky here.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Talk about where the idea for this story was born, because initially you were pulling a lot from the story of Frankenstein. How has that evolved since then?
RAND RAVICH: It was kind of two things at once. Howard and I are both men of a certain age, and we were thinking about what it would be like to get a second chance, to be young again. And then also, but independently, we were both talking about the Frankenstein myth, and is there a way to conflate those two things. And they came together in this.
Though the name of the show has changed, are there any aspects you're still pulling from the Frankenstein story — like, is he afraid of fire?
HOWARD GORDON: Well, the basic trope of playing God, and what are you doing when you interrupt the natural order of or when you intervene with nature, and the benefits and also the consequences of that is definitely a theme that comes back again and again.
RAVICH: Just because you can do it, should you do it? That's the one thing with technology, eavesdropping, and social media — just because you have the ability to do it doesn't mean you morally should or can you even control it, which is the Frankenstein thing. Can you control your creation?
GORDON: It's never been more real. The show lives at a heightened science-fiction place, but you just read the headlines [in October] and you realize that at Google, they changed it to [Alphabet] because they want to include life sciences and longevity projects. We are flirting with immortality, body parts replacement, artificial intelligence — all of those themes are potential grist for the mill.
RAVICH: Treating death as an illness that is curable. I mean, there is a lot of research and funding going into that, which sounds like such crazy talk. Do you want to live forever? What does it mean overturning the natural order of things? What happens to life when there is no death?
Talk about some of the other themes the series plans to explore.
GORDON: Everyone knows, in some ways, one is defined by how you are as a husband, how you are as a son, how you are as a father, as a friend, or as a boss. And at the center of it is a guy who kind of messed things up pretty profoundly with so many people.
RAVICH: At the center of it is [this idea that] you always think like, "If I went back to high school, I would do better in math." But would you? Or would you go back and not study all over again? Would you go back and make the same mistakes? Would you go back and make different mistakes? And if you try to correct the mistakes you made, it's like stepping off the path, and you could step on moth and then the dinosaurs are back and everyone's speaking German. When you try to fix things, the unintended consequences are enormously fascinating, especially as it has to do with relationships, when you try to repair a relationship.
Does Pritchard take advantage of this opportunity?
GORDON: His family, namely his son, his granddaughter and his daughter are there, and they've all been damaged in the wake of what his life was. Not necessarily the things that were always his fault, but they are who they are, and those relationships are so very profound and very deep, particularly the father-and-son relationship, Tim DeKay and Rob's relationship.
RAVICH: More than being young and being attracted to the opposite sex, or being young and being able to walk up a flight of stairs without being winded, going back and getting that time with your family, I could not imagine a wish that is more desired to be fulfilled than those moments that you missed because you were working or because you were not paying attention. To go back and to be able to do those again.
GORDON: Like, Otto and Mary, that interdependence has become grounded with prison for Mary in a way and for Otto an addiction. All those relationships are very interesting and very important. Mary's gotten a second chance, too, because of this guy. But I mean, just this pure fun with the father and son thing. [It] has become really rewarding. Every time you see scenes with them, they're very alive, the chemistry is fantastic and, in a way, he's Felix to his Oscar. I mean, it's a pretty classic relationship. You have a guy who's a little uptight, who follows the rules because his father didn't, and now his father's come back to help him, and he's not that receptive to that premise. He didn't ask for it.
As you say, the crux of the show is the dynamic between Pritchard and his son, Duval, who is as yet unaware of what's going on with his father.
RAVICH: We think Duval always emotionally knows the truth. Like, from the very moment he sees that guy there, it's there, even though he doesn't look the same, talk the same, act the same necessarily or dress the same, you know it when you see it. You look into that person's eyes, because that person is connected to me and emotionally I know it's deep and profound. He struggles through the first series of episodes to get to the fact of the truth, but he knows it right away emotionally. Then the fun of it is Duval was the little man of the house. He had to be a father, because his father was the child, and now he's older than his father. The challenge is reminding the audience that Pritchard is the father because Rob is so young and dynamic, and you need to find a way always to remind them that this man raised Duval. This man gave Duval his strength and his weaknesses.
Jimmy is tied to the Lookinglass. Can you talk about some of the side effects he's facing and how he's handling this newfound power?
RAVICH: The tank is his kryptonite. As amazing as it is to be young, healthy, strong and back, he is tied to it, and that's the Frankenstein. He is tied to his creator. He cannot travel further away than 12 or 24 hours at a time from the tank. And so, although you are free, everything comes at a cost, and his cost is he is physically tied to them. If he has to make decisions to go further than that, he puts his life and Mary's life in jeopardy.
GORDON: The idea that the physical process is ongoing and evolving, things are changing in their dynamics. It's not like, "Okay, I'm Spider-Man. I have my powers and that's what they are." They do evolve sometimes unexpectedly, and that can include certain behaviors too downstream. It really is an ongoing experiment. He is, after all, an experiment and anything is possible.
What's the dynamic like between creator, in this case Mary, and monster?
GORDON: It's hugely important.
RAVICH: Because they are tied by necessity. He is saving her life. He is tied to Lookinglass. But then what is their desire for each other? What is their relationship beyond those things is the important thing? And because they are tethered by blood, they have a very intimate relationship and their desire and their ongoing relationship grows out of that.
GORDON: That becomes increasingly threatening to Otto. He may have saved his sister, but he may have destroyed the relationship. It's the unintended consequences of saving his sister's life is losing his sister.
RAVICH: And the bizarre and fun of the writing it is that these two people would never have crossed circles if not for this experiment. They are so diametrically opposed in their worldview and where they come from and how they operate and how they think and how they eat, that to have them tethered together by blood is fantastic as a writer.
Is Pritchard driven to right his past wrongs?
RAVICH: Well, he has made a mess of Seattle in good ways and bad ways, and because you can never leave your past behind, those things do resurface. But also, he defined himself by his job, which is why he raised Duval to become an FBI agent. So, being the sheriff was how he saw himself. Now that he's back, he wants to be the sheriff again. He really finds his value in his work for better or worse. And so, now that he's back, he wants that more than ever.
GORDON: The show really soars when there is some reference point to something in his past. In one case, he rejected the daughter's boyfriend and did some damage to the daughter by never approving. Or some guy gets himself in a jam and Pritchard gets to undo that by helping out a guy who got himself in a situation. He gets to untangle some of the knots that he tied.
RAVICH: The fun of it, of course, is that they don't know him. I'm Jimmy Pritchard and I'm sitting with the kid who would be grown now, but when he was my daughter's boyfriend I threw him out of the house, and now we're working together.
GORDON: Right. In a way, it's like having invisibility without being invisible.
Because the episode order was trimmed before the show even debuted, Second Chance already has a notch against it in viewers' eyes. What do you say to them?
GORDON: First of all they're spending money on reshoots, which is great. You don't do that for [a show you don't believe in], but it's also put right after American Idol. We got the Empire slot. There is not a better slot on Fox, so if that's not a show of faith. … It really is a scheduling issue. They offered us 13 [episodes]. They said, "Do 13, but we only have 11 continuously." For storytelling purposes we said, "So, then let's not do it."
RAVICH: You have these two freaky little episodes hanging out there, what do you do with them?
GORDON: We begged them—
RAVICH: To reduce the order.
GORDON: We said, "Please, then give us a two-parter." They couldn't give us a two-parter for that reason and we said, "Fine." It was our choice to cut the order.
RAVICH: It was our choice to tell the story in the way it should be told and not have these two little episodes hanging out there that had no meaning.

SIR ALEX Ferguson believes he is facing the modern day version of Wimbledon's Crazy Gang tonight.
And it could spell the end of David de Gea's brief return to the Manchester United first team.
The Spanish keeper's torrid start to his career in England continued on Saturday with another shaky display as United were bundled out of the FA Cup at Liverpool.
Tonight, United will try to keep the pressure on leaders Manchester City when they host Tony Pulis' no-nonsense Stoke.
And that could mean the axe again for Fergie's £18.9m stopper, who was only recalled to the starting line-up at Anfield after spending the whole of January on the bench.
In his absence Anders Lindegaard looked a far more able keeper than De Gea.
But whoever is in charge they can expect a battle in the box from set- piece specialists Stoke.
Fergie said: "You know what Tony Pulis' teams are like, they're always the same with 100 per cent commitment.
"They all get stuck in and you have to cope with that. I quite enjoy that.
"When we used to play Wimbledon, at the beginning when they first came into our division, nobody looked forward to playing against them.
"But then I started and my team started to enjoy it because it was a challenge, a physical challenge in the way they played and a physical challenge in terms of trying to take control of the possession and play your football.
"Stoke are a different team altogether from Wimbledon, obviously.
"But they still have the same quality of never giving in.
But despite the tricky start to his United career, Ferguson insists De Gea is the goalkeeping future for the club.
Fergie said: "Anders has been playing recently.
"But we know with David, it is about experiencing English football and adjusting to it.
"He's only 21 so it's a long-term project for David. We always knew that.

Book Excerpt: Candlelight Christmas by Susan Wiggs
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR SUSAN WIGGS INVITES YOU TO AN UNFORGETTABLE CHRISTMAS IN THE CATSKILLS
A single father who yearns to be a family man, Logan O'Donnell is determined to create the perfect Christmas for his son, Charlie. The entire O'Donnell clan arrives to spend the holidays in Avalon, a postcard-pretty town on the shores of Willow Lake, a place for the family to reconnect and rediscover the special gifts of the season.
One of the guests is a newcomer to Willow Lake— Darcy Fitzgerald. Sharp-witted, independent and intent on guarding her heart, she's the last person Logan can see himself falling for. And Darcy is convinced that a relationship is the last thing she needs this Christmas.
Yet between the snowy silence of the winter woods, and toasty moments by a crackling fire, their two lonely hearts collide. The magic of the season brings them each a gift neither ever expected—a love to last a lifetime.
Logan O'Donnell stood on a platform one hundred feet in the air, preparing to shove his ten-year-old son off the edge. A light breeze shimmered through the canopy of trees, scattering leaves on the forest floor far below. A zip line cable, slender as a thread in a spider's web, hung between the tree platforms, waiting. Below, Meerskill Falls crashed down a rocky gorge.
"There's no way I'm going off this." Logan's son, Charlie, drew his shoulders up until they practically touched the edge of his helmet.
"Come on," Logan said. "You told me you'd do it. The other kids had a ball. They're all waiting for you on the other side, and I heard a rumor about a bag of Cheetos being passed around."
"I changed my mind." Charlie set his jaw in a way that was all too familiar to Logan. "No way. No W-A-Y-F."
Logan knew the shtick, but he went along with it. "There's no F in way, dude."
"That's right. There's no effin' way I'm going off this thing."
"Aw, Charlie. It's almost like flying. You like to fly, right?" Of course he did. Charlie's stepfather was a pilot, after all. Logan crushed the thought. There were few things more depressing than thinking about the fact that your kid had a stepfather, even if the stepfather was an okay guy. Fortunately for Charlie, he'd ended up with a good one. But it was still depressing.
Charlie spent every summer with Logan. During the school year, he lived with his mom and stepfather in Oklahoma, a million miles away from Logan's home in upstate New York. It sucked, living that far from his kid. Being without Charlie was like missing a limb.
When he did have his son with him, Logan tried to make the most of their time together. He planned the entire season around Charlie, and that included working as a volunteer counselor at Camp Kioga, helping out with the summer program for local kids and inner-city kids on scholarship. The zip line over Meerskill Falls was a new installation, and had already become everyone's favorite feature. Nearly everyone.
"Hey, it's the last day of camp. Your last chance to try the zip line."
Charlie dragged in a shaky breath. He eyed the harness, made of stout webbing and metal buckles. "It looked really fun until I started thinking about actually doing it."
"Remember how you used to be scared to jump off the dock into Willow Lake? And then you did it and it was awesome."
"Hel-Zo. The landing was a lot different," Charlie pointed out.
"You're going to love it. Trust me on this." Logan patted the top of Charlie's helmet. "Look at all the safety features on this thing. The harness, the clips, the secondary ropes. There's not one thing that can go wrong."
"Yo, Charlie," shouted a kid on the opposite platform. "Go for it!"
The encouragement came from Andre, Charlie's best friend. The two had been inseparable all summer long, and if anyone could talk Charlie into something, it was Andre. He was one of the city kids in the program. He lived in a low-income project in the Bronx, and for Andre, it had been a summer of firsts—his first train trip, his first visit upstate to Ulster County, where Camp Kioga nestled on the north shore of Willow Lake. His first time to sleep in a cabin, see wildlife up close, swim and paddle in a pristine lake…and tell ghost stories around a campfire with his buddies. Logan liked the fact that at camp, all the kids were equal, no matter what their background.
"I kind of want to do it," Charlie said.
"Up to you, buddy. You saw how it's done. You just stand on the edge and take one step forward."
Charlie fell silent. He stared at the waterfall cascading down the rocky gorge. The fine spray from the rushing cataract cooled the air.
"Hey, buddy," Logan said, wondering about his son's faraway expression. "What's on your mind?"
"I miss Blake," he said, his voice barely audible over the rush of the falls. "When I go back to Mom's, Blake won't be there anymore."
Logan's heart went out to the kid. Blake had been Charlie's beloved dog, a little brown terrier who had lived to a ripe old age. At the start of summer, she'd passed away. Apparently Charlie was dreading his return to his mom's dogless house.
"I don't blame you," Logan said, "but you were lucky to have Blake as your best friend for a long time."
Charlie stared at the planks of the platform. "Yeah." He didn't sound convinced.
"It sucks, losing a dog," Logan admitted. "No way around it. That's why we're not getting one. Hurts too bad when you have to say goodbye."
"Yeah," Charlie said again. "But I still like having a dog."
"Tell me something nice about Blake," Logan said.
"I never needed an alarm to get up for school in the morning. She'd just come into my room and burrow under the covers, like a rabbit, and she'd squirm until I got up." He smiled, just a little. "She got old and quiet and gentle. And then she couldn't jump up on the bed anymore, so I had to lift her."
"I bet you were really gentle with her."
He nodded. After another silence, he said, "Dad?"
"Yeah, bud?"
"I kinda want another dog."
Aw, jeez. Logan patted him on the shoulder. "You can talk to your mom about it tomorrow, when you see her." Yeah,, he thought. Let Charlie's mom deal with the mess and inconvenience of a dog.
"Okay," said Charlie. "But, Dad?"
"Yeah, buddy?"
"Kids were telling ghost stories in the cabin last night," he said, picking at a thread in the webbing of his harness.
"You're at summer camp. Kids are supposed to tell ghost stories."
"Andre told the one about these people who committed suicide by jumping off a cliff above the falls."
"I've heard that story. Goes way back to the 1920s."
"Yeah, well, the ghosts are still around."
"They won't mess with the zip line."
"How do you know?"
Logan pointed to the group of kids and counselors on the distant platform. "They all got across, no problem. You saw them." The other campers appeared to be having the time of their lives, eating Cheetos and acting like Tarzan.
"Show me again, Dad," said Charlie. "I want to see you do it."
"Sure, buddy." Logan clipped Charlie to the safety cable and himself to the pulleys. "You're gonna love it." With a grin, he stepped off the platform into thin air, giving Charlie the thumbs-up sign with his free hand.
His son stood on the platform, his arms folded, his face screwed into an expression of skepticism. Logan tipped himself upside down, a crazy perspective for watching the waterfall below, crashing against the rocks. How could any kid not like this?
When Logan was young, he would have loved having a dad who would take him zip-lining, a dad who knew the difference between fun and frivolity, a dad who encouraged rather than demanded.
He landed with an exaggerated flourish on the opposite platform. Paige Albertson, cocounselor of the group, pointed at Charlie. "Aren't you forgetting something?"
"Oh yeah, my only son. Oops."
"Why is he staying over there?" asked Rufus, one of the kids.
"I bet he's scared," said another kid.
Logan ignored them. On the opposite platform, Charlie looked very small and alone. Vulnerable.
"Everything all right?" Paige put her hand on Logan's arm.
Paige had a crush on him. Logan knew this. He even wished he felt the same way, because she was great. She was a kindergarten teacher during the school year and a Camp Kioga volunteer during the summer. She had the all-American cheerleader looks, the bubbly, uncomplicated personality that most guys couldn't resist. She was exactly the kind of girl his parents would want for him—pretty, stable, from a good family.
Could be that was the reason he wasn't feeling it for her.
"He's balking," said Logan. "And he feels really bad about it. I thought he'd love zip-lining."
"It's not for everybody," Paige pointed out. "And remember, if he doesn't go for it, the world won't come to an end."
"Good point." Logan saluted her and jumped off, crossing back to the platform on the other side, where Charlie waited. The zipping sound of the pulley and cable sang in his ears. Damn, this never got old.
"Just like Spider-Man," he said as he came in for a landing. "I swear, it's the coolest thing ever."
Charlie shuffled across the wooden planks of the platform. Logan reached for the clips to attach him to the pulley. "That's gonna be one small step for Charlie," he intoned, "one giant leap for—"
"Dad, hang on a second," Charlie said, shrinking back. "I changed my mind again."
Logan studied his son's posture: the hunched shoulders, the knees that were literally shaking. "Seriously?"
"Unhook me." Beneath the helmet, Charlie's face was pale, his green eyes haunted and wide.
"It's okay to change your mind," Logan said, "but I don't want you to have any regrets. Remember, we talked about regrets."
"When you have a chance to do something and then you don't do it and later on you wish you had," Charlie muttered.
Which pretty much summed up Logan's assessment of his marriage. "Yep," he said. "At the farewell dinner tonight, are you going to wish you'd done the zip line?"
Logan unhitched himself. Charlie studied the cables and pulleys with a look of yearning on his face. Okay, Logan admitted to himself, it bugged him that Charlie had conquered the jump off the dock with his mom, but Logan couldn't get him to push past his fear of the zip line. He had a flashing urge to grab the kid, strap him in and shove him off the platform, just to get him past his hesitation.
Then he remembered his own pushy father: get in there and fight. Don't be a chickenshit. Al O'Donnell had been a blustering, bossy, demanding dad. Logan had grown up resenting the hell out of him in a tense relationship that even now was full of turmoil.
The moment Charlie was born, Logan had made a vow. He would never be that dad.
"All right, buddy," he said, forcing cheerfulness into his tone. "Maybe another time. Let's climb down together."
The final dinner of summer at Camp Kioga was served banquet-style in the massive dining hall of the main pavilion. There was a spaghetti feed with all the trimmings—garlic bread, a salad bar, watermelon, ice cream. Awards would be given, songs sung, jokes told, tributes offered and farewells spoken.
The families of the campers were invited to the event. Parents arrived, eager to reunite with their kids and hear about their summer.
A sense of tradition hung like the painted paddles and colorful woven blankets on the walls. The old Catskills camp had been in operation since the 1920s. People as far back as Logan's grandparents remembered with nostalgia the childhood summers they'd spent in the draughty timber-and-stone cabins, swimming in the clear, cold waters of Willow Lake, boating in the summer sun each day, sitting around the campfire and telling stories at night. In a hundred years, the traditions had scarcely changed.
But the kids had. Back in the era of the Great Camps, places like Camp Kioga had been a playground for the ultrawealthy—Vanderbilts, Asters, Roosevelts. These days, the campers were a more diverse bunch. This summer's group included kids of Hollywood power brokers and Manhattan tycoons, recording artists and star athletes, alongside kids from the projects of the inner city and downriver industrial towns.
The organizers of the city kids program, Sonnet and Zach Alger, pulled out all the stops for the end of summer party. In addition to the banquet, there would be a performance by Jezebel, a hip-hop artist who had starred in a hit reality TV series. The show had been filmed at Camp Kioga, chronicling the efforts of the outspoken star to work with youngsters in the program.
Tonight, the only cameras present belonged to proud parents and grandparents.
Charlie was practically bouncing up and down with excitement, because he knew he was getting a swimming award. Andre was next to him as they took their seats at their assigned banquet table.
Paige, who stood nearby, handing out table assignments, leaned over and said, "Those two are such a great pair. I bet they're going to miss each other now that summer's over."
"Yeah, it'd be nice if they could stay in touch. Tricky, though, with Andre in the city and Charlie off to an air force base in Oklahoma."
"Must be hard for you, too."
"I can't even tell you. But…we deal. I'll see him at Thanksgiving, and he's mine—all mine—for Christmas."
At the moment, Christmas seemed light-years away. Logan wondered how the hell he'd keep himself busy after Charlie left. He had his work, a thriving insurance business he'd founded in the nearby town of Avalon. If he was being honest with himself, he was bored stiff with the work, even though he liked helping friends and neighbors and made a good living at it.
Initially, the whole point of setting up a business in Avalon had been to enable him to live close to Charlie.
Now that Charlie's mom had remarried and moved away, Logan was starting to think about making a change. A big change.
His sister India arrived to join in the festivities, and Logan excused himself to say hi. Her twin boys, Fisher and Goose, had spent the summer here. Charlie had had a great time with his two cousins, who lived on Long Island, where India and her husband ran an art gallery.
Red-haired like Logan and Charlie both, and dressed in flowing silks unlike anybody, India rushed over to her twin sons, practically in tears.
"I missed you guys so much," she said, gathering them against her. "Did you have a good time at camp?"
"The best," said Fisher.
"We made you some stuff," said Goose.
"Real ugly jewelry, and we're gonna make you wear it," Fisher told her.
"If you made it, then I'm sure it's beautiful," she said.
"Uncle Logan taught us how to light farts."
"That's my baby brother," India said. "Now, you need no introduction, but I'll introduce you, anyway." She indicated the woman behind her. "Darcy, this is my brother, who probably needs to be sent to the naughty corner, but instead, he's a volunteer counselor."
"And head fart lighter," said the woman, sticking out her hand. "I'm Darcy Fitzgerald."
He took her hand, liking her straightforward expression. She had dark hair done in a messy ponytail and a direct, brown-eyed gaze. Her hand felt small but firm, and she had a quirky smile. For no reason Logan could name, he felt a subtle nudge of interest.
"Are you here to pick up a kid?" he asked her. "Which one belongs to you?"
"None, thank God," she said with a shudder.
"Allergies?" Logan asked.
"Something like that."
"Then you came to the wrong place." He gestured around the dining hall, swarming with excited, hungry kids. To him, it was a vision of paradise. He liked kids. He liked big, loud, loving families. It was the tragedy of his life that he was restricted to summers and holidays with his only child.
"Except for one thing," said Darcy, turning toward the dais where the band was setting up. "I'm a huge Jezebel fan."
"You must be. We're a long way from anywhere."
She nodded. "I came along for the ride with India when she invited me to pick up her boys. Thought it would be nice to get out to the countryside for a weekend."
"So you live in the city?" he asked.
"In SoHo. I didn't have anything thing else going on this weekend. Yes, I'm that pathetic friend everybody feels sorry for, all alone and getting over a broken heart." She spoke lightly, but he detected a serious note in her tone.
"Oh, sorry. About the broken heart. Glad to hear you're getting over it."
"Thanks," she said. "It takes time. That's what people keep telling me. I keep looking for distractions. But hearts are funny that way. They don't let you lie, even to yourself."
"Not for long, anyway. Anything I can do to help?" He instantly regretted the offer. He had no idea what to do about someone else's broken heart.
"I'll spare you the details."

Myths of the Near Future
(Polydor; 2007)
By Alan Baban | 13 January 2008
If life has taught me one important lesson, it is that a piece of fried chicken is more reliable than my favourite bands. Playing favourites, as Clay pointed out in his tutelage of the last Jay Sizzle joint, can be a dangerous thing. Functioning supine and parasite-like on uber-fan message boards to wait for the latest leak news may be construed as a sign of dedication and/or anoxia, but, alas, is not yet universally acknowledged as a form of psychosocial health. Conversely, becoming too distant and bookish about the hype scene might help air a sense of cultivated cool, but, in its extremes, is conducive to even greater feats of dickishness, like hating on a perfectly good record because politicos kick back to it.
Enter Klaxons, the latest (and, by no means, the last) in a long line of acts whose musical achievement is ultimately stifled by the erupting media razzmatazz lampooned upon them. Whether Myths of the Near Future will be able to stand separate from the fog of the useless 'new-rave' label is something only time can tell: what can be ascertained now is that it is an accomplished, surprisingly traditional and altogether unsurprising effort that warrants little of its concomitant media storm.
Rather than being groundbreaking, the band, rather shrewdly, summarise the last four years of indie post-punk (read: throttling rhythm section, skewered guitar lines, superfluous synths), filter the patented style through a series of day-glo, bankable hooks and refract the whole through a sci-fi, literary-copping medium. And all credit to the group: more often than not, it works well. "As Above, So Below," with its serpentine synths and glassy-eyed glam draws favourable comparisons to Trompe le Monde (1991)-era Pixies, while the relaxed "Golden Skans" and ballistic "It's Not Over Yet" are hyperdosed on deft melodic turns and banner choruses. James Ford's panoramic production does well to expand on all frontiers of the song, not merely adding a commercially palatable sheen but providing the full-bodied thrust that lets the tidal grooves of the more raucous tracks resonate with a satisfying openness.
What sets Klaxons back is the same sense of formula that will probably prove their most profitable asset. Songs like "Gravity's Rainbow" and "Totem on the Timeline" follow titular noise rock with arch, anthemic breakdowns, not so much using shock tactics to construct some cheap sense of tension and release, but more so to pander to the non-discerning listener, as if to instruct them through conditioning and repetition: this, friend, is the part where a glow-stick comes in handy, and that, that is where you chillax. I guess this kind of dumbed down standard-bearing pizzazz could be really helpful is you're sweating, dehydrated and frazzled out on angel dust, but it inevitably becomes grating on record, to the point where you wish the band would lose the permutations and try their hand at something different, like reggaeton or stand-up.
But, I suppose, being adventurous is not part and partisan with the Klaxons schtick. As it stands, Myths of the Near Future is probably the most assured British debut since Franz Ferdinand's self-titled, whatever that's supposed to mean.


Jeffrey has a lovely conversation with Jungian psychoanalytic psychotherapist, birth teacher and writer Benig Mauger.
Benig was a presenter at the recent International Conference on Science and Consciousness and we were able to get together after the conference to have lunch and a great conversation about her work and her new book: Love in A Time of Broken Heart – Healing from Within.
This book looks into what happens when love breaks down in relationships. In this engaging and passionate book, Benig writes about the universal search for love and what happens when love breaks down by drawing on her life experience and work as a therapist.
Through deep psychological and spiritual explorations of the inner and outer dynamics of adult love relationships, Love in a Time of Broken Heart outlines what it means to be human and to seek love. Incorporating fresh insights drawn from the weaving of psychological and spiritual truths and using the power of myth to amplify our human journey, this book offers a unique perspective on love, relationships and the healing of love wounds.
Benig is a pioneer in pre and perinatal psychology, and she travels internationally to teach, lecture and run workshops. She maintains a private practice in Ireland from where she lectures and writes extensively on modern living from a psychological and spiritual point of view, and with her background in psychology and childbirth education, she founded the Holistic Birth Centre in London in the 1980's.
She also is a frequent speaker at National and International Congresses and her work has been published in Germany, Britain, the USA, and Ireland.
I think you will enjoy our conversation about these intensely personal and deep connections we all share in common as humans in the human experience.

Coronavirus Illinois: IL COVID-19 cases increase by 738 to over 142K
By ABC 7 Chicago Digital Team
Restore Illinois Phase 4: What is it?
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Illinois continues to report a downward trend in deaths from the novel coronavirus following the state's first weekend under Phase 4 of Gov. JB Pritzker's reopening plan.
The Illinois Department of Public Health reported 738 new COVID-19 cases and 14 additional deaths on Monday. That's the fewest deaths reported in a single day since the end of March.
There's now a total of 142,461 confirmed cases across the state, including 6,902 deaths.
Deaths from COVID-19 reported across Illinois include the following:
- Cook County: 1 female 30s, 2 males 40s, 1 female 60s, 1 male 60s, 1 male 70s, 2 females 80s, 2 males 80s, 1 unknown 80s, 1 female 90s
- DuPage County: 1 female 80s
- Perry County: 1 male 50s
Within the last 24 hours, Illinois performed 26,918 tests, bringing the state's total to more than 1.5 million.
On Friday, Illinois transitioned into the fourth phase of Gov. Pritzkier's reopening plan.
Under Phase 4, health and fitness centers, museums, zoos, movie theaters can reopen as well as indoor dining at restaurants. It also allows for up to 50 people to attend gatherings.
Illinois moves into Phase 4 of reopening June 26. What does that mean?
The governor said he will not hesitate to move Illinois back a phase, or to elements of a phase, if there's a similar rise in infections here.
"We can make adjustments along the way," Pritzker said. "If we start to see hospitalizations go up and are unmanageable, we would cut back on elective surgeries. That's one example of a change that we could make."
"The virus has not been eradicated. The virus persists, and we don't yet have a vaccine or a highly-effective treatment that's widely available," Illinois Public Health Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said last week.
The state has been making progress on hiring contact tracers, and officials continue to reiterate the importance of face coverings.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday that for every positive case, it's estimated that there are 10 positives that have gone unidentified, with many of those people non-symptomatic spreaders.
WATCH: Illinois making progress in COVID-19 fight as other states see surges
Gov. JB Pritzker is urging people to remain vigilant and keep taking measures to crush the curve as other states deal with a surge.
"I think it's a courtesy to other people when you wear a face covering," Pritzker said.
Starting this weekend, the city of Chicago expanded its outdoor dining program to five additional locations. The program closes streets and allows businesses to use the public way to set up tables for outdoor dining.
Across the country, some states are seeing a surge in cases.
The state of Florida set on Saturday another record in daily confirmed coronavirus cases.
Florida health officials reported more than 9,500 new COVID-19 cases, surpassing the previous day's total by more than 600 confirmed cases. The figures come as officials move to reclose beaches and discourage bar gatherings.
The daily number of confirmed infections in the U.S. surged to an all-time high of 45,300 on Friday, eclipsing the high of 40,000 set the previous day, according to Johns Hopkins.
The biggest spikes have been seen in the West and South.

Nearly 80 percent of Oregon voters supported a constitutional amendment allowing curbs on campaign contributions and spending.
Oregonians vote to end their era of free-flowing money in politics
Sara Swann
Tuesday's election yielded two wins and one probable loss for those who say that curbing the influence of money in politics is key to a better democracy.
By far the most significant victory for that cause was in Oregon, which voted overwhelmingly to allow the state to limit campaign contributions and spending — and reverse some of the nation's most permissive campaign financing rules. And a couple of symbolic new limits were approved Tuesday in Missouri. But a package including new curbs on gifts to campaigns was facing rejection in Alaska.

The Supreme Court's landmark Citizens United ruling a decade ago said corporations, nonprofits and unions have a First Amendment right to spend as much as they want to help elect or defeat candidates for Congress or president. But since then, more than a handful of states have moved to tighten the flow of cash coursing through their own campaigns for statewide, legislative and local offices.

Here are the details on the three measures on the ballot this week:

Oregon

There was no organized opposition to the ballot referendum, which secured 79 percent support — ending decades of stalemate on the issue.

The measure adds language to the state Constitution making plain that restrictions on contributions and spending are permitted at all levels of government — as are rules requiring campaigns to be transparent about who is funding them.

Sign up for The Fulcrum newsletter

Its approval will make campaign finance legislation a high-profile topic in the Legislature next year. Proponents of the ballot measure say that, if strict new rules to curb big money and favor small-dollar donations are not produced fast, they will try to force Salem's hand with another referendum two years from now.

Oregon is one of just five states that sets no limits on how much money candidates can receive from donors, the result of a state Supreme Court decision in 1997 that political contributions are a form of free speech under the state Constitution. A proposal to change that was rejected by voters in 2006, but the campaign was revived two years ago after a not very competitive race for governor was fueled with more than $40 million in gifts.

The arguments over the measure were familiar. Advocates talked about the overdue need to combat potential corruption and reduce the power of the wealthy and special interests. The grassroots opponents said the result would stifle political debate.

Missouri

Two marginal curbs to political money in Jefferson City were appended to a ballot measure that was mainly focused on changing the rules for redistricting — by reversing the voters' 2018 demand that the lines be drawn to ensure partisan fairness. It was approved with just 51 percent of the vote.

The measure will ban even the token gifts from lobbyists that are now permitted — just $5 to buy legislators a soda or maybe a ticket to a pancake breakfast. It will also lower the limit on donations to candidates for the 34 state Senate seats — but by just $100, to $2,400. And the new curb does not touch the contribution ceiling for the 163 state House races.

Alaska

The outcome of the broadest democracy reform initiative on the ballot this year remained grim if uncertain Thursday, and will stay that way until next week. With votes cast in person early and on Election Day tallied — almost three-fifths the expected total -- the proposal was being rejected by 65 percent of Alaskans. The 55,000 vote gap could shift and potentially be reversed, however, when 152,000 mailed ballots are opened and counted starting Tuesday.

In addition to open primaries and ranked-choice voting, the initiative would also require advocacy groups that make contributions for or against candidates for state offices to disclose their donors. These types of "dark money" groups currently don't have to reveal their funding sources. And it would require disclaimers on campaign advertising by organizations funded by mostly out-of-state money.

Strengthening these disclosure requirements, proponents say, will help bolster transparency around the groups or individuals influencing Alaska's elections.

TCU Surprises With QB at Big 12 Media Day; Sooner Stays Home
Only four of the Big 12's 10 teams will be represented by a quarterback during the two-day event
By Stephen Hawkins - Associated Press	• Published July 16, 2018 • Updated on July 17, 2018 at 6:30 am
Only four of the 10 Big 12 schools brought a quarterback to the conference's media days in Frisco.
Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley said Kyler Murray, the first-round draft pick of baseball's Oakland A's, is not guaranteed to start.
West Virginia quarterback Will Grier is the most experienced Big 12 QB and the conference's preseason offensive player of the year.
TCU coach Gary Patterson didn't bring Shawn Robinson to Big 12 media days to declare the young quarterback a starter.
"Superstitious reasons," Patterson said Monday about having the sophomore with one career start as one of five players there for the Horned Frogs. "I kidded I didn't bring Kenny (Hill) the first year and we went 6-7, then you bring him and we went 11-3. So I didn't want to skip a year."
At least Patterson brought a quarterback. Oklahoma appeared without Kyler Murray, the first-round MLB draft pick and expected successor to Baker Mayfield, the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback who led the Sooners to the past three Big 12 titles.
Arlington 1 hour ago
"Kyler is not the quarterback yet," Sooners coach Lincoln Riley insisted. "There is good competition going on and Kyler is going to have to fight like crazy to win this job."
Only four of the league's 10 teams will be represented by quarterbacks during the two-day midsummer talkfest. That includes two from Kansas State on Tuesday, when West Virginia senior Will Grier is also featured. Grier is the preseason Big 12 offensive player of the year, and only returner from the league's top six passers last year.
The only Big 12 quarterback other than Robinson answering questions Monday was Kyle Kempt, the sixth-year Iowa State player whose first career start was a 38-31 win at then-No. 3 Oklahoma last season.
"It's been great, eye-opening," Robinson said. "I never expected to be here at this point in time in my career."
Kempt became an unlikely starter after Jacob Park's midseason departure from the Cyclones, then threw 15 touchdowns in nine games with a 66.3 percent completion rate that was a single-season school record. The NCAA granted an extra season of eligibility after circumstances surrounding his transfer from Oregon State and a community college.
"I've grown a lot as a person," said Kempt, who was 5-3 as a starter. "Just being able to take that, and that's more so with the sixth year of taking that leadership role and growing physically off the field, continuing those bonds with those guys and also being a role model for the young guys that come into our program."
Patterson didn't bring Hill to media days two years ago, and the Frogs went 6-7 with a loss to Georgia in the Liberty Bowl. It was only their third losing record for Patterson, now going into his 18th season.
Hill was there last summer before TCU went 10-2 in the regular season, including a late win at Texas Tech that Robinson started for an injured Hill. The Frogs lost to Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship game before beating Stanford in the Alamo Bowl.
So Robinson got the nod for media days.
"Obviously he's the guy that played the most games. He played in six and obviously he started, which was a hard place to play," Patterson said. "So obviously he's proven himself, he probably has the edge."
The other potential candidates are a fifth-year senior with no starts, a transfer from Penn and a freshman.
Murray, also a speedy outfielder, will play football as a junior at Oklahoma this fall after getting a $4.66 million signing bonus from the Oakland Athletics after they picked him ninth overall in the MLB draft last month.
The former Texas A&M transfer appeared in seven games last season, completing 18 of 21 passes for 359 yards and three TDs while running for 142 yards on 14 carries.
Austin Kendall, who redshirted last season after appearing in two games behind Mayfield in 2016, is a sophomore competing with Murray for the starting job.
"Both have been Baker's backups in the last two years and they've been in multiple years and they're both ready to be the starting quarterback at Oklahoma," Riley said. "We've got two guys that are more than capable of getting this team where we need to be."
Kliff Kingsbury, the former Texas Tech quarterback going into his sixth season as the Red Raiders head coach, hasn't decided who will be Nic Shimonek's successor this season. The options are junior McLane Carter, sophomore Jett Duffey or freshman Alan Bowman.
"This is the first fall camp I don't know who it's going to be so working with the quarterbacks, it's exciting, it's a challenge," Kingsbury said Monday. "All very talented, they're inexperienced players. ... Each athletic, can extend plays, can do what we want them to do. We just gotta figure out who is going to extend themselves and be the guy."

How much the preferences of Russians about passenger cars have changed - it became the topic of the next research of the analytical agency "AUTOSTAT" and the portal AVITO Auto. In May of 2018, a joint online survey "Dream Car" was held, in which more than 10,000 car owners participated.
What is known about the limousine, on which Vladimir Putin came to the inauguration?
May 7th, in the inauguration ceremony of the Russian president, the Russian limousine "Cortege", which will replace the current presidential car Mercedes-Maybach S-Class Pullman, is involved.
Analytical agency "AUTOSTAT" conducted a study of the terms of ownership of cars in Russia, which changed their owners in 2017. According to the results of the study, the average period of ownership of a bought new car reached 57 months (or 4 years and 9 months) in the last year.
For the first month of spring, sales of passenger cars and LCV in our country, according to the AEB, were 157.3 thousand units - almost 14% more than in March of 2017. According to the results of the first quarter, positive dynamics is also observed (+ 21.7% to 392.9 thousand cars).

January 11, 2021 FLM Doug Pederson, Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles fired coach Doug Pederson on Monday, three years after leading the team to a title in Super Bowl LII.
The move came after Pederson met with team owner Jeffrey Lurie on Monday to discuss his future.
Despite missing the playoffs, Pederson had expressed confidence he'd return to coach the Eagles in 2021. But ESPN said Pederson's scheduled meeting last Tuesday with Lurie "did not go well."

The Eagles' offense ranked 24th in the NFL in yards per game (334.6), 26th in scoring (20.9 points) and 28th in passing yards (207.9). Pederson removed Carson Wentz as the starting quarterback after 12 games and replaced him with rookie Jalen Hurts.
Eagles Have Struggled Since Super Bowl
Pederson led the Eagles to their only Super Bowl win in franchise history after the 2017 season, and he has a record of 42-37-1 in five seasons with the Eagles. Since the win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII, however, the Eagles are 22-25-1.
Before the season-ending loss to the Washington Football Team that featured questionable coaching moves, Pederson said that he was sure he'd be back.
"I feel fully confident to be the head coach of the Eagles in 2021," Pederson said. "The thing I'm most proud of this football team, we have been in the postseason three of the last five years since I've been here and that's pretty good."

The Great American Crack Up
by Peter Venetoklis | Aug 24, 2021 | Opinion, Politics | 1 comment
If we've learned one thing from the first seven months of Joe Biden's presidency, it's that there seems to be no "bottom" to incompetence in American politics. Eight years of Obama-induced malaise and divisiveness ushered in the bull-in-a-china shop that was Trump, and the increasingly binary partisanship that sorted us like a magnet pulling iron filings. Many hoped that there'd be some sort of return to normalcy by installing a career Beltway type in the White House, even if his political leanings were those of the "other team." They eschewed the more radical candidates in favor of the most moderate alternative offered them.
Boy, what a surprise he turned out to be. Ranging far to the left of his former boss, Biden and his cohorts on Capitol Hill have embarked on a massive left-ward transformation of the American economic, social, and political landscape. Spend, tax, spend and tax some more, give money away to everyone they figure can be bought (or will give some of it back in the form of donations), and violate the rights of anyone they don't figure can be drawn to Team Blue. Biden's been a great big fuck you to half the country, and resentment is boiling over.
Still, the wheels of government turn slowly, and many (including myself) have been hoping that the hair-thin majority the Democrats hold coupled with the sharp differences between the moderates and the progressives would keep the damage they do to a manageable level ahead of the 2022 mid-terms (which will assuredly put the nation into gridlock – which would be a welcome relief).
Then, Biden one-upped every one of his predecessors with a stunningly incompetent extrication of America from Afghanistan. Tens of thousands who should have been extricated from the country prior to our troops' departure are stranded there. Who knows how many who assisted us across the past 20 years have been butchered by the Taliban already? Our civilian and military leaders have just about thrown their hands up in the air over the crisis they perpetuated. The magnitude of this cluster-fuck is almost beyond reckoning. What's worse, he's lying through his teeth about it.
And far too many of his supporters, apologists, and whataboutists are squirming all over the place trying to wave away their dissonance.
The right-leaning press is all over this, as it should be. The left-leaning press? Not so much. As I write this, MSNBC's front page is all about right wing extremism, America's vaccine selfishness, the "sexist, toxic, distinctive-as-white-bread" Jeopardy host, and how Republicans suck in general. Two small Afghanistan op-ed headlines on the lower part of the page, among several dozen other links. CNN? Lots and lots about vaccinations, a bit about Biden and Europe, some smaller print Afghanistan coverage that offers nary a peep about Biden's screwups. At least the Times is bannering Afghanistan, but theirs is neutral language about Biden "addressing" the crisis. All these outlets were screaming bloody murder about Israel's human rights violations, but go mostly mum when it comes to the Taliban's treatment of women, by the way.
Biden's strategy after the fact? Wait for the outrage to fade away.
Meanwhile, our cultural establishment is teaching us to hate either ourselves or each other, based on the color of our skin, and flat-out lying about the true intent of the various Critical Theories that are being inculcated as unchallengeable truth in both our educational system and Corporate America. This is obviously also contributing to the partisan divide. While some liberals are starting to reject the rise of the totalitarian Left, I fully expect they'd rather chew hot asphalt than not vote for their team next election, no matter who the other side runs.
Oh, and lest I forget, we have an unimpeded wave of, well, whomever, streaming across our Southern border, creating a humanitarian crisis on our home turf to bookend the one in Afghanistan.
In the face of all this, the #1 with-a-bullet debate in our political sandbox is over mask mandates. Not masks themselves – but the mandate to wear them vs prohibitions against their being mandated. I haven't heard any bans against mask-wearing itself, and I doubt there are many Americans who'd look to rip masks off others' faces (or have the government punish people for doing so).
But, mask mandates (with vaccination mandates catching up) are this moment's litmus-test differentiator of people's political alignments.
As such, they displace the long string of previous binary differentiators – everything from Black Lives Matter to Trump himself. Lost in the absolutist noise is any sort of nuance, or qualified position, or "yes… but" or "no… but" suggestions that it's not as stark as Blue or Red.
The "a pox upon both their houses" viewpoint seems to be losing some ground as well. This evolution, I'd argue, has some merit. As regular readers know, I actually broke my decades-long habit of voting for Libertarian presidential candidates, and actually voted for the Untethered Orange Id this past election. Or, more accurately, signaled my rejection of the Left's plans by voting symbolically for the primary opponent. When D and R appear as two different bites out of the same rancid sandwich, not much is lost in choosing not to partake. But, when Team Blue appears to be abandoning the very fundamentals of Western liberalism, it's a bit harder to equate the parties as "equally bad."
Of course, the same has been argued about the Republicans' embrace of the Untethered Orange Id, a man that some found so personally loathsome that expulsion via "vote for his opponent" was the route many took. I've taken a more transactional view of Trump and his tenure, focusing more on policy rather than personality. I do this not only because policy decisions survive the departure of personalities, but also because I'm convinced that most politicians, especially those of a statist stripe, are lousy people. They just hide it better.
That personal opinion aside, it's increasingly clear that we are coalescing around two opposite poles, rather than remaining distributed across a political spectrum. As I've blogged ad nauseam, I believe social media is a huge player in this polarization, as it has depersonalized us, rewarded the loudest and most obnoxious, and killed nuance, comity, and compromise. Orwell predicted this, via the sheep of Animal Farm that endlessly bleated empty, binary mantras in order to drown out dissenting voices.
Igor Panarin, a Russian professor and former KGB analyst, predicted the fracture of the US back in 1998. This disintegration would follow "a civil war triggered by mass immigration, economic decline, and moral degradation." Clearly, it didn't happen… yet. But, the factors he pointed at are looming again, with the party in power actively supporting mass unchecked immigration, an ever-increasing economic burden on the nation's most productive citizens, and inflation caused by massive borrowing/printing of dollars to support obscenely bloated spending and handout programs. As for moral degradation? While I don't subscribe to the "morality" of the social conservatives, I do believe that there is a gross immorality in the socialistic tendencies of today's younger Americans. When one believes that he or she is entitled to control or take the fruit of another's labor, when individual rights are subordinated to the collective will, there's an immoral foundation that mirrors the monstrously callous disregard for people that was at the core of the brutal totalitarian regimes of the 20th century.
Is America heading down a road to fracture? It's not as inconceivable today as it was a couple decades ago, I'm sad to say. Too many of us loathe their fellow citizens of the opposite political stripe, and politics has devolved to power and dominance plays – especially from leftists. The de mode political philosophies: the "critical theories," reinforce all this by teaching that everything is about zero-sum power. If you don't have power over others, that means that others have power over you, and your only path forward is to take it from them. Either by convincing them to give it to you or to simply seize it via government coercion.
Can we steer off that road? If something hasn't happened, there's usually a chance it can be avoided. Those driving us in that direction are suffering defections from their ranks, with some prominent liberals rejecting the censorious and totalitarian Left, but when the terrible tetrad that's running the country is hell-bent on spending trillions we don't have, imposing massive new entitlement programs we can't afford, ignoring a tidal wave of bodies crossing our southern border, destroying the energy sector in pursuit of a quixotic and useless "green" agenda, writing laws that deprive many of their rights in order to favor others, and treating the economically productive as mosquitoes treat cattle, minor defections from the ranks of the insane Left may not be enough. A loud and ruthless minority is dominating the political landscape right now, and while I expect its worst proclivities will be stanched by loss of power in the mid-term elections, the damage it can inflict in the next 16 months may be fatal.

Seriously though, who could have truly beieved THIS? "They eschewed the more radical candidates in favor of the most moderate alternative offered them.
Boy, what a surprise he turned out to be. " Only those who political ideology was already too far left of center, or those who believe what they want to believe, or the completely uninformed. I believe the answer is mostly "b" and "c".

Let's send some marketers to a treeless planet.
100 million trees are cut down every year so that you can receive junk mail. Who exactly does this help?
The statistics are staggering: 100 million trees are destroyed each year to create the 4.5MM tons of junk mail in the US alone. 28 billion gallons of water go into the production of US junk mail annually. Each American adult spends approximately 70 hours per year dealing with the handling of the junk mail that comes into our mailboxes.
How, how, HOW can marketers contribute to this waste in good conscience?
I'd love to ask the marketers working for Capital One, coupon printers, the people who flood magazines with blow cards, and anyone else involved with this waste and destruction how they feel pulling in their average paychecks, knowing they've contributed to deforestation, water waste and time waste by millions of Americans.
Want to do something about this? Check out Greendimes.
Direct mail that wastes time, money and resources is irresponsible.
Does it make sense from an ROI standpoint? Sometimes, yes.
But the bar is being raised.
Marketing should absolutely be socially and environmentally responsible. But it also must be responsible from strategy to execution, it must respect its audiences and it must provide some ROI.
There are ways to make direct mail more responsible (offer opt-out on every piece; target lists better, etc.), but sometimes the most responsible form of direct marketing is to not do it at all.


At Community Life on December 10th, students and faculty were treated to presentations of exceptional student work.
Middle and Upper School students, nominated by their teachers for their creativity, strong understanding, thorough execution and attention to detail presented projects from a variety of disciplines. Two 7th-grade Life Science students demonstrated interactive dichotomous key projects, AP photography students explained the themes of their ongoing portfolios, a senior student recited poetry, two AP United States History students read fictional letters between John and Abigail Adams, and a Modern World History student presented a film condensing hundreds of years of history into a short photo and video montage.

May 2022 \ Cover Story \ COVER STORY—THE GREAT REAL ESTATE LET DOWN
How SC stood by Amrapali homebuyers
In 2015, real estate firm Amrapali Group was at its peak—with around 50 projects spread across 24 cities. Also, former Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was one of its brand ambassadors
Mr Anil Sharma
New Delhi: In 2015, real estate firm Amrapali Group was at its peak—with around 50 projects spread across 24 cities. Also, former Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was one of its brand ambassadors. However, the spell of opulence did not last long for the firm's top management. On February 28, 2019, the Supreme Court sent the group's CMD Anil Sharma and two directors to police custody for siphoning off money invested by the homebuyers. They continue to remain behind bars. However, their incarceration has not lessened the worries of thousands of homebuyers, who had invested their life savings in the company's projects. The Amrapali Group had created an intricate mesh of deception, which included no customer data for thousands of homebuyers, profile funding etc.
In July 2019, the Supreme Court cracked the whip on the real estate firm for breaching the trust of the homebuyers. The verdict gave relief to over 42,000 homebuyers. The top court ordered the cancellation of the registration of the Amrapali group under real estate law RERA and took it upon itself to ensure construction of the stalled housing projects. The apex court appointed a court-receiver, senior advocate R. Venkataramani, to oversee construction and directed the state-run National Building Construction Corporation (NBCC) to complete the housing projects. The court's receiver faced a herculean task to secure funds for the unfinished projects, against the backdrop that the real estate company had created a complex web of sham transactions.
