Zoe Williams: Should wine lovers or women be more annoyed about Mancan? (The Guardian)
The problem with this attempt to rebrand wine for American blokes isn't masculinity trying to assert itself, it's putting wine in a can.


Harriet Gibsone and Tshepo Mokoena: "Someone like you: how Adele's broken-hearted ballads become blockbusters" (The Guardian)
As the singer's third album breaks all chart records, five experts discover why such sad, sparse songs spell success. Is it 'anti-marketing'? 'Emotional bridging'? Ancient Greek catharsis, or simple neuroscience?


Alexis Petridis: "Adele: 25 review - 'We've been here before,' she sings. And she's right" (The Guardian)
The year's biggest album reprises the themes of its predecessor - there's no sign of Adele using her commercial clout to buy herself room for adventure.

Personal Objects To Auction

Arthur Ashe

Items reflecting the public and private life of Arthur Ashe are going on the auction block. They include speech notes on AIDS awareness and the jacket he wore at an anti-apartheid protest - among the causes the tennis great and humanitarian championed during his lifetime.

The 16 manuscripts and personal objects are being offered as one lot on Dec. 8 at Christie's books and manuscript sale in New York. It's expected to sell for $80,000 to $120,000.

Ashe was the first African-American to win Wimbledon and the U.S. and Australian Opens. The Richmond, Virginia, native died in 1993 from AIDS-related pneumonia attributed to a blood transfusion following a heart operation.

Christie's says the items are being sold by a private collector. They include Ashe's notes for a Nov. 19, 1992, speech before the National Leadership Coalition on AIDS. It says in part: "We must be creative, even dogmatic, in the face of serious but unexaggerated medical evidence of a potential disaster . Let me tell you what my objectives are - to save lives."

Creationists Slam

Google Doodle

Google Doodles are meant to be fun and informative, but lately they've been cause for outrage.

Tuesday's Doodle is no exception. It features a primate, an Australopithecus (a close relative to humans) and a human, to celebrate the 41st anniversary of Lucy the Australopithecus' discovery. Lucy is thought to have walked upright and is considered to be an early human ancestor.

Forty-seven of Lucy's 206 bones were found in Ethiopia in 1974 - about 40% of her skeleton.

Evolution, of course, is an aggressively disputed topic (remember the Scopes trial, anyone?) and some creationists - and, probably, a few trolls too - have taken to the Internet to express their anger at Google for celebrating a historic scientific moment.

Probation

John Stamos

John Stamos has pleaded no contest to a charge of driving under the influence of a drug that was filed after his arrest earlier this year in Beverly Hills, California, and he has been sentenced to three years of probation.

Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Jane Godfrey ordered Stamos to attend 52 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and a counselling session.

Blair Berk, an attorney for the "Full House" star, entered the plea Tuesday on Stamos' behalf.

The 52-year-old actor was briefly hospitalized in June after Beverly Hills police arrested him on suspicion of driving under the influence. Police have not identified the substance they suspect Stamos had taken, and it was not addressed in court.

Call For A New Holiday

Abolition Day

A group of black U.S. lawmakers and other prominent figures on Tuesday called on the federal government to declare a national holiday to mark Abolition Day, the official end to the nation's use of slavery.

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus as well as a federal appeals judge and the NAACP released a petition asking for the holiday to fall on Dec. 6, which this year marks the 150th anniversary of the ratification of the 13th Amendment.

"(December 6, 1865) is arguably the most significant moment in African-American history," Judge James Wynn, a member of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, said in a conference call. "It isn't often we can look to a specific date and say, 'An evil institution ended that day.'"

Nearly half of the 1,000 Americans surveyed by Sachs Media Group earlier this month said they thought the Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Abraham Lincoln on Jan. 1, 1863 officially ended U.S. slavery. About 26 percent correctly identified the 13th Amendment, which resulted in four million slaves being freed and gaining U.S. citizenship.

As part of the Abolition Day campaign, some of those involved will hold events at federal buildings, including the National Archives Building in Washington and the Capitol Building, through the end of December.

Stonewall Deja Vu

GOP

Congressional Republicans hope a post-Thanksgiving drive to obliterate President Barack Obama's health care law and block Planned Parenthood's federal funds will spotlight their fierce support for top-tier conservative causes. The certain veto waiting at the White House will only help them sharpen their stance for voters, they say.

Yet even as GOP leaders express optimism that they'll push the bill through the Senate, the run-up to the debate reveals the tightrope they face to win the needed votes.

It also features the rare spectacle of prominent anti-abortion groups publicly pressuring two of their normally stalwart supporters who are battling for the Republican presidential nomination.

Since the health overhaul became law in 2010, lawmakers have had dozens of votes, mostly in the House, on GOP efforts to scuttle all or part of it. With Republicans controlling Congress this year, each chamber has voted to halt the $450 million in annual federal payments to Planned Parenthood, the party's reaction to the group's role providing fetal tissue for research.

Democrats mock the repeated votes as time-wasting political posturing. But Republicans say there's value in forcing Obama to veto legislation crippling the health law and stopping Planned Parenthood's federal dollars.

Pulls Ads

Amazon

Amazon.com Inc on Monday agreed to pull advertisements for a new television show featuring Nazi-inspired imagery from New York City's subway system, a transit official said, hours after Mayor Bill de Blasio called on the company to do so.

The advertisements for "The Man in the High Castle" completely wrap the seats, walls and ceilings of one train on the heavily utilized shuttle line that connects Times Square and Grand Central Terminal in midtown Manhattan.

The show depicts an alternate reality in which Nazi Germany and Japan have divided control over the United States after winning World War Two.

The advertisements include a version of the American flag with a German eagle and iron cross in place of the stars, as well as a stylized flag inspired by imperial Japan.

The shuttle train ads had been scheduled to run until Dec. 6, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. In addition, Amazon has paid for 260 subway station posters to be displayed until Dec. 6.

Anb Inquisition For Our Times

Vatican

A controversial trial of two investigative journalists and three others involved in the latest Vatican leaks scandal began Tuesday with judges rejecting an appeal for the charges against one of the reporters to be dismissed.

Addressing the opening hearing in a rarely-used Vatican courtroom, journalist Emiliano Fittipaldi said he was "incredulous" at finding himself in the city state's court on charges that do not exist in Italy.

"I did not write anything false or defamatory," he told the court, arguing that his right to publish news based on material obtained from secret sources was protected by the Italian constitution and international human rights conventions.

Fellow journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi described the trial, in which all five defendants face up to eight years in prison, as "Kafkaesque and absurd."

Nuzzi, who was instrumental in breaking the first big Vatican leaks story in 2012, said that he had only met his court-appointed lawyer for the first time one hour before the trial began and had not had time to even read the indictment documents.

DNA Thieves

Water Bears

The eight-legged water bear -- a hardy, nearly microscopic animal resembling its mammal namesake -- gets a huge chunk of its DNA from foreign organisms such as bacteria and plants, scientists have revealed.

These genes, the researchers suggest, help the tiny animals, also known as moss piglets or tardigrades, survive in the harshest of environments.

Water bears, which live all over the world, are usually 0.020 inches (0.5 millimetres) long and move very slowly and clumsily on their multitude of legs.

Even after being stuck in a freezer at -112 degrees Fahrenheit (-80 Celsius) for 10 years, they can start moving around again about 20 minutes after thawing.

By sequencing these creatures' genome, researchers from the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill were surprised to find that 17.5 percent -- nearly a sixth -- of the genome came from foreign organisms.

In Memory

David Canary

David Canary, who for nearly three decades played the twin brothers Adam and Stuart Chandler on the ABC soap opera All My Children, has died. He was 77.

Canary, who earlier portrayed Candy Canaday, the ranch foreman of the Ponderosa, on the iconic NBC Western Bonanza, died Nov. 16 of natural causes at an assisted living facility in Wilton, Conn., his family announced.

The blue-eyed Canary first appeared on All My Children as Adam in 1984 and received five outstanding actor Emmy Awards and 16 nominations through 2001. He retired from acting in 2010 but returned to play the Chandler brothers for several days before the show's emotional September 2011 finale.

After two years in the U.S. Army, Canary came to Los Angeles and appeared in Hombre (1967) with Paul Newman, as a mobster in The St. Valentine's Day Massacre (1967) with Jason Robards and in Sharks' Treasure (1975) with Cornel Wilde. He also drew attention for playing Mia Farrow's physical therapist Russ Gehring in the hugely popular ABC nighttime soap Peyton Place.

When Leonard Nimoy and the producers of Star Trek were locked in a contract dispute of their own, Canary was one of the top candidates to play Mr. Spock, according to the 1996 book Inside Star Trek - The Real Story.

Canary also played shrewd businessman Steve Frame on the NBC soap opera Another World from 1981 until 1983, when his character was killed off in a car crash, before joining All My Children.

Canary also appeared on Broadway in 1980 in Tennessee Williams' final play, Clothes for a Summer Hotel, opposite Geraldine Page.

Survivors include his wife of more than 33 years, Maureen; children Christopher and Kathryn; brother John; and grandson Donovan.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Alzheimer's Association's David Canary Memorial Fund.
