Arizona Governor, Obama in 'tense' Exchange over Her Book


Haraz N. Ghanbari / AP
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer points at President Barack Obama after he arrived at the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, Wednesday. Brewer greeted Obama and what she got was a book critique.



Politics aside, this is a great picture.

Dominance is shown by the Governor by pointing at the President, and we see the President dismissing her show of aggression by patting her other arm (a gesture that says, okay, okay now.) We also see the President bending into her personal space.

I heard the President simply walked away as she continued to talk.◦

Body Language MUST SEE MOVIE: The Artist

I was just able to see a screener copy of this movie (it has been movie weekends as I try to get through all the notable movies before award season) and if you care anything about body language and facial expressions this is a must see movie.

Another 20 Month Old Child Goes Missing in the Night



Is this another case of the father attempting a staging of an abduction to cover up the death of his child due to abuse?!?! Too many things point that way, broken arm, mother seeking full custody...

Emotionally I find the Mother's behavior odd, she is not totally overcome by the misery that is often seen from parents of missing children... they do not talk fast... they are tired and drained.  Here we see she is actually excited that her ex husband is now seen as the bad guy to the whole world...◦

Poetry: If Truth Is the Lure, Humans Are Fishes by Jane Hirshfield

It has been really slow lately, which is a great thing.  It means there are not high profile lies and cheats on the loose.  I found this peom on the web that seems to speak to the content of the website.  She will be appearing along with Ekman and others at the Being Human 2012 on March 24, 2012, between 9:00 am - 5:30 pm.



 If Truth Is the Lure, Humans Are Fishes


Under each station of the real,



another glimmers.



And so the love of false-bottomed drawers



and the salt mines outside Kraków,



going down and down without drowning.



A man harms his wife, his child.



He says, “Here is the reason.”



She says, “Here is the reason.”



The child says nothing,



watching him led away.



If truth is the lure, humans are fishes.



All the fine bones of that eaten-up story,



think about them.



Their salt-cod whiteness on whiteness.
