Q: How to configure swagger in netcore3.1 web application with an area? Im writing web service endpoints (as an area:'api') in my mvc web application(not webapi).
Is there somebody who can tell me how to config swagger with an area?
services.AddSwaggerGen();

app.UseSwagger();
app.UseSwaggerUI(c =>
{
    c.SwaggerEndpoint("api/swagger/v1/swagger.json", "MY API V1");
    c.RoutePrefix = "api";
});

A: First, you can write an extended class to get the AreaName, like this:
  public static class ApiDescriptionExtension
    {
        public static List<string> GetAreaName(this ApiDescription description)
        {
            string areaName = description.ActionDescriptor.RouteValues["Area"];
            List<string> areaList = new List<string>();
            areaList.Add(areaName);
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(areaName))
            {
                description.RelativePath = $"{description.RelativePath}";
            }
            return areaList;
        }
    }

Then in your StartUp(Add this code:c.TagActionsBy(apiDesc => apiDesc.GetAreaName());):
  services.AddSwaggerGen(c =>
        {
            c.SwaggerDoc("v1", new OpenApiInfo
            {
               //...
            });

            c.SwaggerDoc("v2", new OpenApiInfo
            {
               //...
            });
            c.TagActionsBy(apiDesc => apiDesc.GetAreaName());

        });

Remember to configure your Area routing:
  app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
        {
            endpoints.MapControllers();
            endpoints.MapControllerRoute(
            name: "Area",
            pattern: "{area:exists}/{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}"
            );
        });

In your ApiController in your Area:
Example:
[Area("Area")]
[Produces("application/json")]
[Route("v1/Area/api/[controller]")]
[ApiController]
public class TodoController : ControllerBase
{
    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult<List<TodoItem>> GetAll()
    {
        return Ok();
    }

Sweet Briar College: One More Stakeholder Revolt against an Out of Touch Board?
March 12, 2015;Washington Post
Anyone who is a regular reader of NPQ knows that we have covered stakeholder revolts against nonprofit (and for-profit) boards quite extensively. From Susan G. Komen, to the San Diego Opera, to the Market Basket grocery chain, the new communications environment allows diverse groups of stakeholders to organize for common cause much more quickly than might have been possible in the past. In this case, a reaction that started with alumnae now includes donors, faculty and legislators. When will boards understand that it is easier to engage stakeholders than to exclude them—in this century, at least?
Virginia State Senator Chap Petersen (D-Fairfax) has a grandmother who is an alumna of Sweet Briar College. As readers may remember, the board of the small women's college just voted to close, which has sparked a firestorm of protest from alumni. Some of those alumnae appealed to Petersen, who put some questions he had about the situation to Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring in a public letter.
Quoting from the Washington Post:
"'As I understand, the College has a ninety-four-million-dollar endowment and has been soliciting and collecting donations right up until a few weeks before the announced closing. I also understand that it owns a 3,200-acre campus with fixed assets, which is specially designated for the maintenance of a women's college,' as stipulated by the original landowner who founded the college. So, he asked:
'What are the rights of the donors who made gifts to the institution in the past year, i.e. after the plans for closing had apparently been decided but not disclosed? Do they have a right to seek a refund if the school continues with its plan for closing?
'What is the obligation of the school to its existing students, particularly those students who are within a year of achieving their degree?
'What will happen to the property if it is no longer operating as a women's college? Does it not revert to the donating party?
'What is the role of the Board of Visitors in this process? Does the Board have a fiduciary duty to protect the interests of donors and students, as well as the mission of the College?'"
One take on who has a call on donor money now parked at the $94 million Sweet Briar endowment can be found here.
Some faculty members have joined the alumnae in their fight to reverse the board's decision. They contend that some members of the faculty have had their severance pay threatened if they chose to join the protest, though Sweet Briar administration says this may be a misunderstanding.
"I want to go on record in saying there are so many faculty who really feel trapped, conflicted and fearful to speak for themselves," said Claudia Chang, a college faculty member for more than thirty years. "On behalf of those faculty, I am ready to stand up to the administration, join our alumnae and fight this closure tooth and nail."
"The college's decision to close Sweet Briar without giving alumnae, faculty and students the opportunity to help develop a viable plan is unconscionable," said John Ashbrook, another professor, in a statement:
"We knew the school was in trouble, but not to this degree. If the administration and board had been more forthcoming and told the alumnae and faculty we were in this much trouble, I am sure we would have seen the same level of engagement as the Save Sweet Briar movement, but with more time to turn us around.
"Many of us suspected the previous two presidents and the board were not innovative thinkers and made poor financial decisions. And some of us, not me personally, but some feel that if we speak out there will be repercussions. However, if the faculty and alums give up, there will be repercussions for traditional liberal arts schools across the country.
"It isn't just Sweet Briar's fight. It's a fight for liberal arts. Churchill said it best: 'Never surrender!' The students of Sweet Briar deserve better, as do the faculty, staff and alumnae."
Assistant professor Marcia Thom-Kaley said that "financial problems of this magnitude don't happen overnight," and she wishes that they had been engaged sooner. "The faculty was told that as of October 2014, the auditors had signed off on their audit of the financial state of the college without raising any alarm bells," Thom-Kaley said. "The administration should have involved faculty, staff, students and alumnae three years ago in the fight to save our beloved home. If someone is bleeding, you do not stand there and watch them die. You call an ambulance, you enlist everyone you see to help you stop the bleeding."—Ruth McCambridge

Corticosteroids' Effect on Fetal Lung Maturation (1972), by Sir Graham Collingwood Liggins and Ross Howie
In a clinical trial from 1969 to 1972, Sir Graham Collingwood Liggins and Ross Howie showed that if doctors treat pregnant women with corticosteroids before those women deliver prematurely, then those women's infants have fewer cases of respiratory distress syndrome than do similarly premature infants of women not treated with corticosteroids. Prior to the study, premature infants born before 32 weeks of gestation often died of respiratory distress syndrome, or the inability to inflate immature lungs.
Meselson, Stahl, and the Replication of DNA: A History of "The Most Beautiful Experiment in Biology" (2001), by Frederic Lawrence Holmes
In 2001, Yale University Press published Frederic Lawrence Holmes' book, Meselson, Stahl, and the Replication of DNA: A History of "The Most Beautiful Experiment in Biology" (Replication of DNA), which chronicles the 1950s debate about how DNA replicates. That experiment verified that DNA replicates semi-conservatively as originally proposed by Watson and Crick. Rather than focusing solely on experiments and findings, Holmes's book presents the investigative processes of scientists studying DNA replication.
The Pasteur Institute (1887- )
L'Institut Pasteur (The Pasteur Institute) is a non-profit private research institution founded by Louis Pasteur on 4 June 1887 in Paris, France. The Institute's research focuses on the study of infectious diseases, micro-organisms, viruses, and vaccines. As of 2014, ten scientists have received Nobel Prizes in physiology or medicine for the research they have done at the Pasteur Institute.
"Embryonic Stem Cell Lines Derived from Human Blastocytes" (1998), by James Thomson
After becoming chief pathologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Wisconsin Regional Primate Center in 1995, James A. Thomson began his pioneering work in deriving embryonic stem cells from isolated embryos. That same year, Thomson published his first paper, "Isolation of a Primate Embryonic Stem Cell Line," in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, detailing the first derivation of primate embryonic stem cells. In the following years, Thomson and his team of scientists - Joseph Itskovitz-Eldor, Sander S. Shapiro, Michelle A.

Epidermal Growth Factor
Epidermal growth factor is a signaling molecule that stimulates the growth of epidermal tissues during development and throughout life. Stanley Cohen discovered epidermal growth factor (EGF) during studies of nerve growth factor as a side effect of other experiments. EGF stimulates tissue growth by initiating a variety of cellular mechanisms. This work led to the 1986 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine awarded to Cohen and Rita Levi-Montalcini.
"The Effects of Wing Bud Extirpation on the Development of the Central Nervous System in Chick Embryos" (1934), by Viktor Hamburger
German embryologist Viktor Hamburger came to the US in 1932 with a fellowship provided by the Rockefeller Foundation. Hamburger started his research in Frank Rattray Lillie's laboratory at the University of Chicago. His two-year work on the development of the central nervous system (CNS) in chick embryos was crystallized in his 1934 paper, "The Effects of Wing Bud Extirpation on the Development of the Central Nervous System in Chick Embryos," published in The Journal of Experimental Zoology.
Golden Rice was engineered from normal rice by Ingo Potrykus and Peter Beyer in the 1990s to help improve human health. Golden Rice has an engineered multi-gene biochemical pathway in its genome. This pathway produces beta-carotene, a molecule that becomes vitamin A when metabolized by humans. Ingo Potrykus worked at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland, and Peter Beyer worked at University of Freiburg, in Freiburg, Germany. The US Rockefeller Foundation supported their collaboration.

Hwang Woo-suk's Use of Human Eggs for Research 2002-2005
Hwang Woo-suk, a geneticist in South Korea, claimed in Science magazine in 2004 and 2005 that he and a team of researchers had for the first time cloned a human embryo and that they had derived eleven stem cell lines from it. Hwang was a professor at Seoul National University in Seoul, South Korea. In the Science articles, Hwang stated that all of the women who donated eggs to his laboratory were volunteers who donated their eggs (oocytes) without receiving any compensation in return. In 2006, Hwang admitted that many of the results were fabricated.

"Altruism and the Origin of the Worker Caste" from The Ants (1990), by Bert Hölldobler and Edward Osborne Wilson
In 'Altruism and the Origin of the Worker Caste,' Bert Hölldobler and Edward Osborne Wilson explore the evolutionary origins of worker ants. 'Altruism and the Origin of the Worker Caste' is the fourth chapter of Hölldobler and Wilson's book, The Ants, which was published by The Belknap Press of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1990. In 'Altruism and the Origin of the Worker Caste,' Hölldobler and Wilson evaluate various explanations for how a non-reproductive caste of ant evolved.
Inducing Fertilization and Development in Sand Dollars
Sand dollars are common marine invertebrates in the phylum Echinodermata and share the same class (Echinoidea) as sea urchins. They have served as model laboratory organisms for such embryologists as Frank Rattray Lillie and Ernest Everett Just. Both Lillie and Just used Echinarachnius parma for their studies of egg cell membranes and embryo development at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, in the early 1900s.
"Predictors of Postpartum Depression: An Update" (2001), by Cheryl Tatano Beck
In her 2001 paper "Predictors of Postpartum Depression: An Update," researcher Cheryl Tatano Beck presents the most common risk factors associated with postpartum depression in women. Postpartum depression occurs when women experience symptoms such as tearfulness, extreme mood changes, and loss of appetite for a lengthened period after giving birth. At the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Connecticut, nursing professor Beck updated a previous study of hers by analyzing literature about postpartum depression published in the 1990s.
Hormone Releasing Intrauterine Devices
Hormone releasing intrauterine devices or hormonal IUDs are contraceptive devices placed in a woman's uterus to prevent pregnancy by continuously releasing a low dose of certain hormones. Jouri Valter Tapani Luukkainen, a medical researcher at the University of Helsinki, introduced the first hormonal IUD in 1976. Luukkainen's IUD was a plastic device shaped like a capital T.

Frank Rattray Lillie (1870-1947)
Frank R. Lillie was born in Toronto, Canada, on 27 June 1870. His mother was Emily Ann Rattray and his father was George Waddell Little, an accountant and co-owner of a wholesale drug company. While in high school Lillie took up interests in entomology and paleontology but went to the University of Toronto with the aim of studying ministry. He slowly became disillusioned with this career choice and decided to major in the natural sciences. It was during his senior year that he developed his lifelong interest in embryology.
Benjamin Harrison Willier (1890-1972)
Benjamin Harrison Willier is considered one of the most versatile embryologists to have ever practiced in the US. His research spanned most of the twentieth century, a time when the field of embryology evolved from being a purely descriptive pursuit to one of experimental research, to that of incorporating molecular biology into the research lab. Willier was born on 2 November 1890 near Weston, Ohio to Mary Alice Ricard. He spent his childhood doing farming chores and running the farm while his father, David Willier worked as a banker.
The Meckel-Serres Conception of Recapitulation
Johann Friedrich Meckel and Antoine Etienne Reynaud Augustin Serres developed in the early 1800s the basic principles of what later became called the Meckel-Serres Law. Meckel and Serres both argued that fetal deformities result when development prematurely stops, and they argued that these arrests characterized lower life forms, through which higher order organisms progress during normal development. The concept that the embryos of higher order organisms progress through successive stages in which they resemble lower level forms is called recapitulation.
Jane Marion Oppenheimer (1911-1966)
Jane Marion Oppenheimer, embryologist and historian of science and medicine, was born on 19 September 1911 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Sylvia Stern and James H. Oppenheimer. After studying zoology at Bryn Mawr College, Oppenheimer received her AB degree in 1932. Oppenheimer received her PhD in embryology at Yale University in 1935 and worked as a research fellow from 1935-1936. While at Yale she was influenced by the work of Ross Granville Harrison and John Spangler Nicholas, the latter of whom was Oppenheimer's PhD advisor.
Frank Rattray Lillie's Study of Freemartins (1914-1920)
Frank Rattray Lillie's research on freemartins from 1914 to 1920 in the US led to the theory that hormones partly caused for sex differentiation in mammals. Although sometimes applied to sheep, goats, and pigs, the term freemartin most often refers to a sterile cow that has external female genitalia and internal male gonads and was born with a normal male twin.
Ian Wilmut (1944- )
British embryologist Sir Ian Wilmut, best known for his work in the field of animal genetic engineering and the successful cloning of sheep, was born 7 July 1944 in Hampton Lucy, England. The family later moved to Scarborough, in the north of the country, to allow his father to accept a teaching position. There Wilmut met Gordon Whalley, head of the biology department at Scarborough High School for Boys, which Wilmut attended.
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519)
Leonardo da Vinci was born on 15 April 1452, the illegitimate son of a young peasant girl by the name of Caterina and Ser Piero da Vinci, a well-renowned Florentine notary. Leonardo lived in Italy in the town of Vinci until his late teens and received a simple education in reading and writing as well as some training in mathematics and engineering. Although he was socially excluded by birthright from almost every profession and prohibited from attending any formal university, Leonardo went on to become a celebrated scientist, artist, and engineer.
St. Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225-1274)
Widely known as a key contributor to the Roman Catholic Church's body of doctrine, St. Thomas Aquinas also published an opinion on the moral status of embryos and fetuses that seems contradictory to the Catholic Church's current standpoint on the matter. Born in Naples, Italy, around 1225 (scholars debate the exact year of many of his life events) to wealthy nobility, Thomas Aquinas quickly proved himself a pious and astute scholar with an insatiable desire for logic and understanding.

"RNA-Guided Human Genome Engineering via Cas 9" (2013), by Prashant Mali, Luhan Yang, Kevin M. Esvelt, John Aach, Marc Guell, James E. DiCarlo, Julie E. Norville, and George M. Church
In 2013, George Church and his colleagues at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts published RNA-Guided Human Genome Engineering via Cas 9, in which they detailed their use of RNA-guided Cas 9 to genetically modify genes in human cells. Researchers use RNA-guided Cas 9 technology to modify the genetic information of organisms, DNA, by targeting specific sequences of DNA and subsequently replacing those targeted sequences with different DNA sequences. Church and his team used RNA-guided Cas 9 technology to edit the genetic information in human cells.
"CRISPR /Cas9-mediated Gene Editing in Human Tripronuclear Zygotes" (2015), by Junjiu Huang et al.
In 2015, Junjiu Huang and his colleagues reported their attempt to enable CRISPR/cas 9-mediated gene editing in nonviable human zygotes for the first time at Sun Yat-Sen University in Guangzhou, China. Their article, CRISPR /Cas9-mediated Gene Editing in Human Tripronuclear Zygotes, was published in Protein and Cell. Nonviable zygotes are sperm-fertilized eggs that cannot develop into a fetus. Researchers previously developed the CRISPR/cas 9 gene editing tool, which is a system that originated from bacteria as a defense mechanism against viruses.

Q: USB-Battery load sharing circuit comparison I have found two different load-sharing circuits on Adafruit modules:

The 32u4 (left) only employs a schottky diode, while the nRF52 (right) uses an additional pull-down resistor as well as a transistor.
Since the 32u4 design is simpler, what are its drawbacks?
Does it also allow having VBUS and VBAT connected, or can VBAT damage VBUS?
Thanks in advance!

A: The nRF52 uses a more efficient system for running off of battery, since the transistor will have almost no voltage/power drop, where as the diode on the 32u4 will always drop 0.25V.
While this does not matter for power efficiency since your linear regulator will waste the power regardless, it does allow the nRF52 to operate at a lower battery voltage, since there is not an additional 0.25v drop infront of the regulator.
In summary (Rough Numbers due to load dependent):
The 32u4 will stop regulating at a Vbat ~ 3.65
The nRF52 will stop regulating at a Vbat ~ 3.4
All things the same, the nRF52 board will be able to fully drain the last ~10% out of a Lipo battery, while keeping a well regulated 3.3V line the whole time.

The substrate is manufactured from precision-sieved sand and sieved peat. Sand and peat are mixed to the desired ratio. The correct distribution of different fractions and the decomposition stage of peat have a major impact on the functioning of the substrate. Characteristics such as water permeability and moisture retention are important in the manufacturing of substrates.


Linden Lab has improved the processing of large Second Life groups (10K+) recently. We are glad to inform that SmartBots bots utilize these improvements now, making the group load and export routines reliable and much faster.
Contrary to the previous methods, even the large groups are loading almost immediately now (25,000 group completely loads in about 30 seconds). SmartBots utilize the new SL server calls to make group invitation, chat and notices, export routines more affective.


If all the debts are paid the trustee will annul the bankruptcy. Annulment takes place when the payment, or last payment, is made including interest on interest bearing debts [Bankruptcy Act 1966 (Cth) s 153A].
The court can also annul the bankruptcy if satisfied that a sequestration order ought not to have been made or where a debtor files their own petition (where the petition ought not to have been presented) is accepted by the Official Receiver [s 153B].
Legal advice should be sought from a private lawyer about options for annulment of bankruptcy.

Politico quotes Layli Miller-Muro,
I think it's a humanitarian tragedy that fails to recognize that vulnerable people from those countries are among the most persecuted and that protecting them is exactly what the refugee convention was designed to do.
I hope we come out of this with a sense of oneness, interconnectedness…Borders can't protect us. Viruses do not care.

ON January 8, as the working class of the country was on its first day of a 48 hour strike against the anti people and anti worker policies of the Modi government, NESO, a platform of indigenous student organisations too called a strike in the states of Northeast opposing the citizenship amendment bill placed in the parliament by Modi government. A section of tribal youth resorted to picketing of the national highway at Madhabbari of Jirania subdivision, West Tripura. Police used force to vacate the road. They used water canon, charged baton and tear gas shells and finally opened fire at them. Twenty of the protesters were injured. A few of them are being treated at AGMC and one has been shifted to Kolkata. It is alleged that when an ambulance was taking the injured persons to Agartala, police stopped it and beat them up inside the ambulance itself. The videos of the incident are now viral in the social media. These videos suggest that the otherwise peaceful road blockade was provoked and attacked by the local BJP affiliated hoodlums which triggered this situation. As a result of the pitched battle between the two groups several shops belonging to both the communities were gutted. One might remember that in 2017, IPFT had blocked the rail and the national highway for 10 consecutive days. But the then Left Front government handled the situation with utmost patience and police didn't even touch any of the protesters despite all sorts of provocations. But with a change in government the police too was given a free hand. The CM till this report is being written has not visited the spot and merely ordered a magistrate level inquiry while his coalition partner IPFT has demanded a judicial inquiry. To hide their utter failure to control the situation the government on one hand suspended the mobile internet and sms services for an unprecedented 96 hours at a stretch while two of the ministers Sudip Ray Barman and Mevar Kumar Jamatia tried to put the blame on CPI(M), particularly on Manik Dey, a former MLA of the area and state secretariat member of CPI(M). The blanket ban on internet caused immense sufferings to the people. In banks, post offices, ration shops, services were severely affected.
CPI(M) leadership including Manik Sarkar, state secretary Gautam Das, CEM of TTAADC Radhacharan Debbarma and others visited the injured persons in the hospital in the night itself and Manik Sarkar demanded an impartial probe in to the incident of firing to find out if the firing could be avoided.
Tripura Left Front convener Bijan Dhar, in a press conference on January 11 termed the incident as a major state sponsored terror. He dared the two ministers to come out with proof in support of the allegations labeled by them against CPI(M). On January 13,Radhacharan Debbarma visited the area, talked to the local people. They came out to tell the CPI(M) leaders that it was the BJP hoodlums who ignited the situation.
On January 14 a delegation of CPI(M) led by Manik Sarkar visited the affected areas, talked to the common people and traders. They visited the house of Sumit Debbarma the youth injured by police bullet who is now being treated at Kolkata. Sumit's mother broke into tears in front of Manik Sarkar. Later talking to the members of the press, he said we must leave behind this atmosphere of unrest. Everyone including administration, police, political parties and well meaning people must come forward to return to an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
Jobs to RSS Cadres via Backdoor?
IT seems the BJP led government in Tripura is trying to convert the entire administration including the civil secretariat into an RSS shakha by giving backdoor entry to its cadres in government jobs. In these columns earlier we have mentioned how people from outside the state have been appointed to the posts of OSD to the CM without any proper interview. In the 10 months of the new government virtually the recruitment process in government services has been withheld. The government has issued circular strictly restricting new appointments. Thousands of posts for which the recruitment process was started during Left Front era through TPSC was cancelled. But from January 1, 10 persons joined the civil secretariat as IT personnel on purely ad-hoc basis. Daily Desher Katha has carried this news on its issue of January 14 . According to our information all these 10 are RSS and BJP workers, some of them were 'panna pramukhs' during the election and some were part of the BJP-IT cell. It is alleged that they were appointed by the department of ICA in December flouting all the norms. No advertisement, no interview, just the chosen 10 were appointed. Worst still, is, none of the 10 belongs to ST category which means even the reservation guidelines were not followed. So much for the promises made by BJP in its vision document where they talked of jobs in every household, 50,000 government jobs in one year and a "transparent employment policy". Till this report is filed, the government could not come up with any official contradiction giving satisfactory answers to the questions raised in the news report.

Blue Bloods season 13 episode 10 spoilers: A cop impersonator!
Blue Bloods December 24, 2022
We may be forced to wait until January 13 to see Blue Bloods season 13 episode 10 air on CBS, but that doesn't mean we'll wait on sharing details! This is a story titled "Fake It 'Til You Make It," and there are already a wide array of interesting things to say about it in advance.
So where do we start off within this piece? Well, it feels like sharing the Blue Bloods season 13 episode 10 synopsis makes the most overall sense:
"Fake It 'Til You Make It" – Jamie and his new intel team officer infiltrate a high-tech car smuggling ring. Also, Frank faces off against the city's transit chief over a new mayoral solo police patrol program that is causing officer injuries on the job; Eddie asks Danny to help her bust a cop impersonator; and Erin hires an image consultant to help with her D.A. campaign, on BLUE BLOODS, Friday, Jan. 13 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
The title here is, of course, a clear nod to what you are getting within the Eddie / Danny storyline — we've seen impersonators on the show before. Remember what we got with the fake Jimmy Buffett? Of course, this time it's a little bit different since we're talking about a cop! We're just happy to see Eddie and Danny getting a story like this, largely because this show is so much better when there are a number of different character pairings we can see. It livens things up, which is good given that sometimes on cop procedurals, it can be easy to get stuck in a sea of relative sameness.
Rest assured that throughout a lot of January, we're going to get some more news on the future! There is a lot to look forward to over the next few weeks…

We still don't know for sure who was — or is — the California serial killer known as the Zodiac, the name he used in a series of letters he sent to San Francisco newspapers in the late 1960's and early 1970's. This movie is not about some big payoff. There are no "eureka" WHO moments and we don't get to see someone solve the puzzle and get a handshake from the mayor and the thanks of a victim's family. We don't get an "aha" WHY moment as we find out that it all began when Zodiac was a little boy and suffered some major trauma.
A puzzle is what it is. Zodiac sent not just taunting letters to the press; he sent four cryptograms, only one of which has ever been solved. While San Francisco's investigation is inactive, the other jurisdictions' files are still open.
This is not the story of the Zodiac, what he did and why. It is the story of what happened to three men whose lives were taken up with their efforts to answer those questions. A superb cast and an absorbing script make a frustratingly complex story accessible and keep even the nearly three-hour running time moving quickly.
Paul Avery (Robert Downey, Jr.) is the chain-smoking hard-drinking newspaper reporter who covered the story. Downey vibrates like a tuning fork, his offbeat rhythms responding to tones only he can hear. It is is heartbreaking to see the sensitivity that makes him a meticulous observer of the world he writes about begin to implode. The movie doesn't ask or answer whether the stress of being a possible target of Zodiac is what finally causes him to unravel or whether working on the story kept his fragile spirit together with a sense of purpose. It just shows us the toll that the story took on the man who happened to have the crime beat when the first letter came in.
David Toschi (Mark Ruffalo) and William Armstrong were the cops assigned to the case in San Francisco. They coordinated with Jack Mulanax (Elias Koteas) and Ken Narlow (Donal Logue), the police officers in the other regions where there were killings tied to the Zodiac. With literally thousands of suspects and no certainty about which crimes were committed by the Zodiac and which by copy-cats or unrelated killers, they are looking for one deadly needle in a haystack that could fill what was then called Candlestick Park.
And then there is Robert Graysmith (Jake Gyllenhaal). He's the newspaper's political cartoonist. It isn't his job to write about the case and it isn't his job to investigate it. And yet, there is something that draws him into it so deeply he will ruin his marriage to devote himself to a story that is twisted and terrible, with an evil genius of a bad guy who is, well, right out of the movies.
Director David Fincher (Fight Club, Panic Room) wisely makes this story not about the monster, but about our fascination with monsters. Like Avery, Toschi, and Graysmith, we are pulled into the puzzle, horrified, but tantalized, stimulated, drawn to the edge of what separates us from a human being who could commit such atrocities and then taunt the people who try to stop him. In his letters, Zodiac may have referred to the classic film The Most Dangerous Game , about a hunter who uses humans as his game — in both senses of the word. He sees them as the only quarry worthy of him because they can truly test his skill. In a deeper sense, it is Avery, Toschi, and Graysmith who devote their lives to their own most dangerous game, tracking the Zodiac, who continues to elude them, searching for clues and patterns and meaning in a world where kids on lovers lane are killed by a man who dares the world to find him.
Parents should know that this is the story of a serial killer and there are graphic portrayals of some of the murders. Characters drink and smoke and one has some marijuana. A chain-smoking character also abuses alcohol. Characters use strong language and there are brief glimpses of pornography and references to child molestation. Some audience members will be disturbed by the themes of the story, which include serial killing and the impact on the lives and families of those who are involved in investigating the murders.
Families who see this movie should talk about why the story was so important to Graysmith and what he sacrificed in order to be able to pursue it.
Viewers who appreciate this movie will also like the classic Call Northside 777 starring Jimmy Stewart, also based on a real-life case of a reporter's investigation of a murder. And they will enjoy other movies about murders who communicate with journalists or policemen, including Dirty Harry (inspired by the Zodiac case and briefly glimpsed in this film), The Mean Season , and No Way to Treat a Lady . Viewers who would like to find out more about the Zodiac case (and perhaps try to solve some of the still-unsolved coded messages) should read Zodiac and "This Is the Zodiac Speaking": Into the Mind of a Serial Killer . And they might like to take a look at the classic movie that allegedly influenced or inspired the Zodiac killer, The Most Dangerous Game .

It was almost 40 years ago that Easy Rider made a motorcycle road trip the ultimate baby boomer emblem of freedom and adventure. Now John Travolta, William H. Macy, Martin Lawrence and Tim Allen play the uneasiest of riders in this uninspired and uninspiring formula comedy about four middle-aged friends who take their motorcycles on a road trip to find their sense of adventure.
Each of them is feeling that his life was not what he expected. Travolta is Woody, who has not told the others that he is broke and his supermodel wife has left him. Allen is Doug, a dentist, whose son doesn't think he's cool. Macy is Dudley, a shy geek who proudly sports a new tattoo — the Apple logo. And Lawrence is Bobby, a henpecked plumber. You know, born to be mild.
So, a bike trip from Cincinnati to California seems like just the thing to put them in touch with their inner burning man. Their droopy, mundane, and cheerless encounters include a flaming marshmallow, a cop who thinks they are a gay foursome and wants to join the fun, a bull who doesn't appreciate being slapped, a plastic bag filled with excrement, some mean bikers led by Ray Liotta, and the sweet little country town they terrorize. Guess who will have to ride to the rescue?
The film consistently wastes even the modest opportunities it presents. When Dudley is invited to dance with the pretty owner of the town diner (Marisa Tomei, another on the list of "What are THEY doing in this movie?" actors), he has to get a quick lesson from Mr. Saturday Night Fever himself, John Travolta. Not only does a one-minute lesson somehow turn the can't-even-speak-around-females Dudders into Arthur Murray, but the dance lesson itself is a complete waste of time, nothing more than another manliness joke.
There is no chemistry or even connection between the four co-stars, who look at each other as though they can't wait to get back to their trailers. A last-minute appearance by a surprise guest star may save the day for the four friends, but it comes nowhere near saving the movie. The reality-show parody over the credits merits a smile, but the chance to leave the movie behind will produce a bigger one.
Parents should know that the movie has crude humor, including strong language and sexual references. An entire section of the movie is intended to find comedy in the main characters being grossed out by being thought to be gay and in the portrayal of an enthusiastic gay character who believes he may have found some action. Characters drink and smoke. There are some crude sexual references and there is a good deal of potty humor. Characters are in comic peril and there is some violence, including characters being tossed on the horns of a bull and being beaten up. There is also a good deal of macho posturing and some misogynistic humor.
Families who see this movie should talk about when it can important not to feel "too safe." What did each of these character have to prove to himself or to someone else? Why were they friends?
Families who enjoy this movie will appreciate the better City Slickers .

MPAA Rating: Rated R for sexual content, nudity, crude humor, language and drug use.
Profanity: Very strong and crude language, n-word

Violence/ Scariness: Comic peril and violence, characters and animals injured and killed

Silly cops have been a staple of comedy since Shakespeare created the character of Dogberry in Much Ado About Nothing. They've been a staple of movie comedy from the Keystone Kops of the silent era through the Police Academy and The Naked Gun series and Super Troopers. There's something enticing and reassuring about taking the police — the source of so many of our fears about powerlessness and shame — and making them into subjects for humor by exposing them as foolish, incompetent, and utterly humiliated.
And that brings us to the popular television series Reno 911 , now a movie. True to form, it is the story of a group of bumbling, egotistical, petty, foolish, cowardly cops who triumph despite their own best — or worst — efforts.
The Reno sheriff's department gets invited to a law enforcement convention in Miami, and when everyone there is quarantined due to a biohazard attack, they are assigned to handle 911 calls and other police responsibilities until an antidote is found. They have to deal with an alligator in a swimming pool and a beached whale on a topless beach, with the expected results. Bright spots include cameos from the Rock as a SWAT commander and Paul Rudd as a Scarface-style drug lord.
Fans of the television series will feel right at home, but the movie does not make much of an effort to introduce newcomers to the characters and situations. The movie derives much of its plot, energy, and humor from casual references to outrageous events and behavior ("Reno's just like Mayberry on TV except for the crystal meth and prostitution"), from unrequited (and occasionally but briefly and awkwardly requited) romantic and sexual feelings between and among the cast, from a combination of preening self-regard, utter cluelessness, and insecure anxiety of its characters, and good old-fashioned slapstick. And it just manages to get by on its unpretentious silliness and, most important, its speedy running time.
Parents should know that this is a very raunchy and intentionally offensive comedy with extremely crude humor. Characters use strong and vulgar language, including the n-word, and there are explicit and graphic sexual references and situations, including nudity. There is drug humor, including an overdose, and comic violence with humans and animals injured and killed. Although the television series was given an award by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, some viewers may find the jokes about homosexuality to be offensive.
Families who see this movie should talk about how the portrayal of comic cops has changed over the centuries and what has stayed the same.
Families who enjoy this movie will also enjoy the (uncensored) series , Police Squad! The Complete Series , Police Academy , and The Naked Gun .

There are 23 things wrong with this movie.
Or maybe there are 24. Or 165. To be honest, I lost count. Despite this film's best efforts, it never persuaded me that there was anything special about the number 23.
It began a moody but nicely stylish little thriller with some striking visuals, strong performances, and a provocative premise. Animal control officer Walter Sparrow (Jim Carrey) is late meeting his wife Agatha (Virginia Madsen) on his birthday, February 3 (2/3, get it?). While she waits, she wanders into a small used bookshop and begins reading a novel about a man obsessed with the number 23. She buys it as a birthday gift for Walter, and he gets caught up in the book and its parallels to his own life. He begins to be haunted by the book, envisioning himself as its main character, a detective. He dreams that he is committing crimes.
And he begins to see 23's everywhere. Everything adds up to 23. But nothing adds up.
Perhaps that is in part because it's never clear whether 23 is a good number or a bad number, a blessing or a curse. And then there's the fact that it's something of a stretch to tie everything to the number 23. It seems to count if it just connects to 2 and 3 or 32 or to some other number that — gasp! — has some relationship with the number 23, even if it's not much more than the fact that they are both numbers. There's reason number one. It's hard to make something so vague feel menacing. Reason number two: the obviousness of the fake-outs. Reason number three: the you've-got-to-be-kidding-ness of the characters' decisions in trying to track down the mystery. Have these people never heard of Google? Or the public library? And don't they know that you're not supposed to investigate creepy places at night by yourself? Reason number four: there are several major logical flaws in the big reveal. Reasons number five through twenty-three: if you take the first two reasons and the last three reasons and put the numbers next to each other, it will say 23. This makes as much sense as anything in the story.
In other words, 23 is an unlucky number for Jim Carrey, Virginia Madsen, and anyone who goes to this movie.
Parents should know that there are a number of disturbing themes and images in the movie, including graphic, bloody suicides, murders and mental illness. Characters and a dog are in peril and some are injured and killed. There is brief strong language, and there are some sexual references and situations, including some bondage and masochistic fantasies.
Families who see this movie should talk about their own superstitions and the idea of apophenia, the experience of seeing patterns or connections in random or meaningless data, for which human brains are hard-wired.

"Ghost Rider" needs a new ghost writer.
Well, it needs something. You might not think that a movie based on a comic book about a flaming skeleton in a leather outfit who rides a (literally) hot motorcycle and has a (literally) penetrating stare would be dull, but this one is.
Johnny Blaze has a motorcycle carny act with his father, riding through fire. The night before Johnny is to run away with his true love, Roxanne, a stranger (Peter Fonda) appears, telling Johnny that he can cure his father's lung cancer if Johnny is willing to trade his soul.
Johnny does not believe and does not exactly agree, but he spills his blood on the contract, and that is good enough for the stranger, who turns out to be none other than Mephistopheles. Meph, a master of the loophole, cures the cancer, but Johnny's father dies anyway. And now he belongs to the devil, who tells him he'll be back when he needs a rider.
Flash forward a couple of decades and Johnny (now Nicolas Cage) is a sort of Evil Kneivel with a bit of Tony Hawk, and a touch of rock star. He performs daredevil stunts in front of huge arenas, his latest a plan to jump the length of a football field. And who should show up to interview him for television but his old friend Roxanne (now Eva Mendes), last seen as he left her standing in the rain.
He persuades her to meet him for dinner, but before he can get there, another old friend shows up, that mysterious stranger again. It turns out that it is now time for Johnny to become "the devil's bounty hunter" and chase down Blackheart (American Beauty's Wes Bentley) before he can beat Meph to a missing list of promised souls.
It just doesn't work. Writer/director Mark Steven Johnson showed with Elektra and Daredevil that he has no feel for comic book stories. The pacing is sluggish and the action scenes are static and repetitious. There are some nice special effects as GR uses a chain like a flaming lasso and Blackheart's henchmen exert their power over air and water. But the movie violates its own rules so frequently that it removes any real sense of involvement or meaning. Blackheart and his thugs seem like weak attempts to recreate Kevin Smith's clever street punk demons in Dogma. And as Blackheart himself, Bentley smolders less persuasively than he did as the drug-dealing, video-taking teenager in American Beauty. When the poor guy is called upon to make sarcastic clapping work in a key confrontation, it teeters on the brink of parody.
A hero with a skull face is a cool idea in a comic, but in a movie the inability to show any kind of expression makes it difficult for it to seem menacing or sympathetic, and it is impossible to take advantage of all Cage (a comic book fan whose very stage name is a tribute to another comic book character) can do. Since he can't play a skull, he is limited to a few expressions of agonizing isolation, longing, and painful transformation. If Ghost Rider wanted to fetch something of value, he should have been out there looking for a better script.
Parents should know that this film has a number of disturbing images, including a flaming skull and other grotesque characters and graphic violence and injuries. Characters drink and smoke and use brief bad language. The issue of selling a soul to the devil and damnation may be upsetting to some audience members.
Families who see this movie should talk about some of the other stories about characters who sell their souls to the devil and what they think about Johnny's decision at the end of the movie.
Fans of this movie will enjoy reading the graphic novels, starting with Essential Ghost Rider, Vol. 1 .

The dramatic effect of poverty on death rates in the US
Debra Watson
A research team from Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health in New York City has estimated that 875,000 deaths in the US in 2000 could be attributed to a cluster of social factors bound up with poverty and income inequality.
According to US government statistics, some 2.45 million Americans died in 2000. Thus, the researchers' estimate means that social deprivation was responsible for some 36 percent of total US deaths that year, a staggering total.
There is no reason to believe, after a decade that has seen sustained attacks on social programs and consistently high unemployment rates, that the social mortality rate has declined. On the contrary, it has likely risen.
The social causes considered by the research team surpass in their deadly consequences heart disease and lung cancer, accidents and factors often categorized as lifestyle-related, such as smoking and obesity (which, of course, in many cases, are also associated with social conditions).
"The number of deaths the researchers calculated as attributable to low education―245,000―is comparable to the number caused by heart attacks―192,898―which was the leading cause of US deaths in 2000," principal investigator Dr. Sandro Galea, chair of Mailman's Department of Epidemiology, told the New York Times. Galea is a distinguished epidemiologist, with more than 250 scientific journal articles, 50 chapters and commentaries, and five books to his credit.
For purposes of the Columbia study, a low level of education was defined as not having graduated from high school. Researchers also found large numbers of deaths linked to other social factors, including 176,000 due to racial segregation, 162,000 to low social support, 133,000 to individual-level poverty, 119,000 to income inequality, and 39,000 to area-level poverty. By comparison, 119,000 people in the United States die from accidents each year, and 156,000 from lung cancer.
Dr. Galea continued, "If you say that 193,000 deaths are due to heart attack, then heart attack matters. If you say 300,000 deaths are due to obesity, then obesity matters. Well, if 291,000 deaths are due to poverty and income inequality, then those things matter too." However, while considerable effort is made to raise money for research into methods of eradicating heart disease, the Obama administration and the Republicans in Congress are currently considering how best to decimate the programs that have historically alleviated poverty and income inequality.
The research appears in the June edition of the American Journal of Public Health. It is based on a meta-analysis of "all English-language articles published between 1980 and 2007 with estimates of the relation between social factors and adult all-cause mortality," write the researchers in their abstract. The studies were generally based on large national surveys, such as those conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Using the pooled data, notes the Times, "the researchers calculated the 'population-attributable fraction' of deaths―that is, the number of deaths caused by living with a given social disadvantage. Finally, they multiplied that fraction by the total number of deaths in the year 2000 to come up with a number of deaths caused by each of the six social conditions. The researchers then separated the contribution of each social factor."
Dr. Galea noted that "any time you try to say that death is attributable to a single cause, there's a problem―all deaths are attributable to many causes. But what we did is just as valid as what was done to establish smoking as a cause of death."
One finding of the researchers underscores the importance of entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare. The risks associated with both poverty and low education were higher for individuals age 25-64 than for those 65 or older who qualified for Social Security and Medicare. In this connection entitlement takes on a significant meaning―literally being entitled not to die.
Poverty in the US has increased markedly in the last decade. Only this week, for example, Childstats.gov, the US government clearing house for children and family statistics noted a sharp rise in child poverty since 2000. By 2009, 21 percent of all children ages 0–17 (15.5 million) lived in families below the official (and derisory) US poverty line. This was up from 16 percent in 2000, the year that Galea's team looked at.
"This trend is consistent with expectations related to the recent economic downturn," says a note on the Childstats page. Some have looked at this trend and predicted one in four children in the US will soon be living below the official poverty level.
As low-income families sink to or below the poverty line, $22,350 for a family of four, they will be added to the ranks of those who face death from one or more factor of social deprivation.
The discussion around how to approach public health has reached the bizarre. In a July release from the National Bureau of Economic Research, Amy Finkelstein and others compared health outcomes between winners and losers in the ghoulish 2008 Oregon Medicaid lottery.
In 2002 there were 110,000 people in the state of Oregon with Medicaid insurance. Budget cuts reduced that number to just 19,000 by 2008. Rather than return eligibility to the roughly 90,000 who lost coverage, the state decided to add only 10,000 to its rolls. Since nearly 90,000 applied for the coverage, the state resorted to a lottery to pick the 10,000 who would be offered insurance.
Katherine Baicker, professor of health economics at the Harvard School of Public Health and former economics advisor to the George W. Bush administration, joined Finkelstein, also an economist. They noted, "In the year after random assignment, the treatment group selected by the lottery was about 25 percentage points more likely to have insurance than the control group that was not selected. We find that in this first year, the treatment group had substantively and statistically significantly higher health care utilization (including primary and preventive care as well as hospitalizations,) lower out-of-pocket medical expenditures and medical debt (including fewer bills sent to collection) and better self-reported physical and mental health than the control group."
Dr. Galea and other medical and social researchers have made an important contribution to social and medical science in bringing to light the link between social factors and mortality. Ultimately, it is up to the population to draw the necessary political conclusions.

How Emory University Is Getting Students To Ask The Big Questions
"We want to help students better understand themselves and the world that they are in."
By Jaweed Kaleem
Each year, dozens of undergraduate and graduate students arrive at Emory University to think about the big questions as they study under faculty members in the Department of Religious Studies. By looking at topics ranging from Greek and Roman philosophy, to ancient Hinduism and contemporary Islam, professors aim not only to equip students with the right credits for a degree and skills for the workplace, but also to help them ask and think about the cosmic questions any emerging adult encounters. What is a life well-lived? What is purpose? How do you define success, joy and happiness?
With regularly offered courses like Death and Dying; Religion and Sexuality; and Religion and Healing, among more traditional topics, the department tries to "help students better understand themselves" and their outlook on life, says department chairman Gary Laderman.
What is a life well-lived? What is purpose? How do you define success, joy and happiness?
That quest follows a trend at American universities. Many have increasingly attempted, as New York Times columnist David Brooks recently noted, "to stem the careerist tide and to widen the system's narrow definition of achievement" and "cultivate the whole student: the emotional, spiritual and moral sides and not just the intellectual." At Amherst College, that has included a campus dialogue called "Ask Big Questions," while at Brown University, it has meant a relatively new concentration in Contemplative Studies and a campus series on Ethical Inquiry. Since 2009, the National Endowment for the Humanities has distributed $3.2 million in grants to fund college and university courses that tackle the "enduring questions."
In an interview with HuffPost, Laderman, who has spent his 23-year career at Emory studying the ways humans create meaning, shared how he and his colleagues are helping students explore their life journeys. This interview has been edited for clarity and length.
Gary Laderman
What's the mission for religious studies at Emory?
It's a big question. We might have answered that differently 20 years ago. We want to help students better understand themselves and the world that they are in. In doing that we look at several topics, but it's also got to be done in the world of pre-professionalism. Not that we are giving ourselves away to that mentality, but we have to figure out a way to meet halfway so that college doesn't become a one-track pre-career experience, but also one of larger exploration.
Sooner or later these questions will come up for these young kids. It's part of our jobs to help them get to a place where they can ask them.
It's all about finding a way, especially at that transition from youth to adulthood, for reflection and contemplation of the biggest questions and the purpose of life. Sooner or later these questions will come up for these young kids. It's part of our jobs to help them get to a place where they can ask them.
Religion has a special dilemma. Most people don't get it, in that they assume you are being religious or advocating a religion or going into a vocation. We are arguing, "No, there is knowledge you can gain here that you can draw from in a career as a doctor, a lawyer, a politician."
You offer several nontraditional courses, such as Death and Dying as well as Religion and Healing. Can you share more about these?
Like other departments, we offer more traditional introduction to religion courses like the history of Christianity and the history of Buddhism, but some of our biggest courses are those that are more thematic and unconventional. This semester I'm teaching on Religion and Sexuality. The enrollment is 220 students, which is unprecedented for humanities. I teach Death and Dying once a year, and that is another course that gets over 100 students.
We also have courses on religion and ecology, religion and the body. These all address some of the themes we are getting at, in terms of getting students to think about the meaning of life and purpose. You can find some hooks that really draw students into larger modes of thinking, whether it's sex or the body or popular culture.
Emory University, where the Department of Religious Studies tries to teach students to address the big questions of life.
What attracts so many people to want to learn about death and dying?
I think it has to do with the age people are at, and an intellectual curiosity into certain areas of our life that we don't talk openly about or that we are only are able to speak about under certain constraints, whether it's in the church or with doctors. It can be a little more confined in those contexts, in terms of really being able to speak openly and freely and emotionally.
In general, students are interested in finding a space to talk about things that they don't get to intellectualize about. Then there are the specific reasons they come in. I know some that have come in in the midst of grief. It's also a course that students hear about when they are deciding between economics and organic chemistry and want a relief in their schedule. But they realize it's not exactly a relief!
It's a luxury students don't always have today, to feel the life of the mind and follow your own passion. It's part of an older model of education, but I hope students can pursue more in that way as time goes on.
What was your own journey in becoming someone who thinks of the big questions as a central part of your career?
I was a psychology major at California State University, Northridge. From early on I was interested in death and was thinking of going into psychology and becoming a therapist. I became interested in psychoanalysis and started reading a lot about existentialism. It was through those courses that I started taking religion courses. Then I went to graduate school at U.C., Santa Barbara. I started out in the psychology of religion, but got waylaid from that and went more in the direction of history and culture.
I got my B.A. in '86 and my Ph.D. in '94. Working at Emory is the first and only job I've had in the field. I was following my own intellectual interests. It's a luxury students don't always have today, to feel the life of the mind and follow your own passion. It's part of an older model of education, but I hope students can pursue more in that way as time goes on.

Paulie Crying After His 'Big Brother 18' Nomination Highlights A Fundamental Problem With The House
By Allie Gemmill
It has been a seriously emotional time in the Big Brother 18 house with tensions hitting a boiling point during double eviction week. Now, with Paulie and Corey on the block, it feels like anything could happen in the house. From the moment Paulie was nominated for eviction on Big Brother 18 , he seemed to be intuiting his inevitable eviction. Over the course of the last week or two of the game, it seems that all of the simmering drama has finally turned into the kind of juicy, melodramatic gameplay that is part and parcel to the very nature of Big Brother. This is the kind of gameplay we've been waiting to see all summer and it all came to a head when Paulie cried after being nominated for eviction.
This was perhaps the most sensitive and charged moment of the season so far. As the credits rolled on the June 14 episode, Paulie was seen in the DR letting the tears roll as he expressed his frustration at being nominated. What seemed to have been the breaking point was Victor saying that he nominated Paulie because he had back-doored Victor early in the game. After the ceremony, Paulie immediately went to Corey and opened up about his feelings and how to strategize. It was a major moment in how viewers saw Paulie, because watching him give in to a sensitivity he hadn't exhibited before actually highlighted a major issue with they way nominations have been chosen recently.
In a game that's all about strategy, the last few weeks of nominations have become muddled by an "emotion vs. logic" kind of elimination process. The house coming together to get Frank and Bridgette out? Methodical in every way. But for Michelle and Tiffany, their tendency to become "emotional" made their fellow houseguests take a step back and immediately peg them as ticking time bombs. This is just confusing because aren't we all human? Wouldn't a game like Big Brother start to have an effect on you and cause you to express your feelings to the only people you're allowed to interact with? In Paulie's case, are men not allowed to cry now?
It always felt a bit odd watching those who got emotional suddenly become negatively targeted for their actions in the house. The need to separate the weak from the strong, however absurdly Darwinist that is on a reality TV show, can be done in plenty of ways that have nothing to do with who is most likely to cry or break down. What the Big Brother 18 houseguests should be doing is figuring out who poses the biggest actual threat to their own games, and that has nothing to do with who expresses emotions. Paulie should have felt comfortable expressing his feelings before being nominated for eviction, but the atmosphere of this Big Brother house may have made that impossible.
