Calling Time-Out on the Culture of Over-Collaboration and Over-Commitment/
One of the striking differences between my life as a consultant and my career as an association executive is the amazing expanses of unscheduled time on my calendar. The culture of over-collaboration and over-commitment is so strong in associations that I almost feel guilty or defensive when I am scheduling conference calls and meetings with my association clients. They are overscheduled and I often have to admit how many of my days are "wide open".
Not "wide open" in the sense that I have nothing to do. Actually right now I have my largest roster of clients and complex, demanding projects since I launched this consulting business two years ago. I have even been so busy that I am working long hours and I have been remiss in my commitment to this blog. But I have the incredible luxury of working deeply and creatively on these complex projects.
Now I don't want to put myself out of business but I work with very smart association executives. Either they are very smart to reach out to consultants like me to deepen their capacity and keep moving at the pace they do.
Or they are simply too captive to this culture of over-commitment and over-collaboration to crack open the time to do what I can do for them. I feel like I am uttering heresy here because I am a great champion of this culture in almost all circumstances. Still, how can anyone do quality work racing from one staff meeting to the next conference call with a volunteer committee and on into the weekend for conferences and board meetings?
More association and nonprofit executives need to call time out and recognize the high cost of this behavior. Sure they do an amazing amount of good work in any given day. I admire their stamina and flexibility. Yet I am confident they need more wide open expanses of unscheduled time to do truly great work and lead breakthrough changes in their organizations.
If there's a secret to my business, this is it. I have the time and perspective to do the thinking and creating my clients do not have. I am not smarter or wiser than any of them. I should even confess that when I was an association executive, I too was consumed by this culture of over-collaboration and over-commitment. I just opted out and into a life where I have a better chance of balancing my need to serve and get results with my desire for serenity and meaningful work.
Countless leadership books and speakers caution executives to build some down time for reflection into their schedules. I would rather think of this as "up time". The only way any of us can work up to our full potential is when we open up the time to do our best and most significant work.

From left to right: Huang Chunming, Lin Mei-yin, Sylvia Lin and Howard Goldblatt

I'm no good at pinpointing dates, so I can't recall exactly when I first met the Taiwanese writer and cultural figure Huang Chunming. Nor am I sure of the circumstances surrounding that meeting or my first impression of a man who would one day become one of my dearest friends. I can, however, recreate in detail my first encounter with his work.
In the spring of 1974, during a Fulbright year in Japan, I took a break from my doctoral dissertation and traveled to Taipei, where I'd begun my study of Chinese a decade before. There I met Nancy Chang Ing, who edited and published The Chinese PEN, a quarterly magazine in which contemporary writing from Taiwan appeared in translation. Nancy offered to publish my translations of essays by Zhu Ziqing, a writer from the Republican era, in exchange for agreeing to translate an essay by a contemporary Taiwanese writer for her magazine. I agreed, and she soon sent me three short stories by writers I'd never heard of—no surprise there, since I'd never read any fiction by a Taiwanese writer.
Weeks or months later, Nancy mailed me a longer selection that changed everything. It was a story that presented me with a translation problem right off the bat: the title was "Sayonara*Zaijian," or "Good-bye, Good-bye," in Japanese and Chinese. The Japanese word was widely known; the Chinese—in whatever spelling—was not. I considered calling it "Sayonara*Good-bye," but ended up leaving it just as it was given; it remains one of my least satisfying titles in English, though, for obvious reasons, it works in Chinese. I sat down and read it immediately, and then had a moment of pause. Why? Well, it was a story about Japanese men who go to Taiwan on sex tours, a satire in which the "subaltern" does in fact speak. The protagonist, a young, Japanese-speaking Taiwanese, has been assigned interpreting duties for a group of contemporary "samurai" whose ideal it is to sleep with a thousand women and save one pubic hair from each. The young local displays considerable postcolonial angst as he carries out his distasteful task, but succeeds in befriending the prostitutes and, in an extended Socratic dialogue, making his foreign guests reflect on their country's 20th-century misdeeds and their own despicable behavior. The dilemma for me was that I had been the well-treated guest of a Japanese university, and felt somehow disloyal; but, of course, no one there could possibly know that I was translating a story that placed some of their countrymen—and not the best representatives—in a particularly bad light.
The story, written by Huang Chunming in 1973, the year before I visited Taiwan, was published to some acclaim in Nancy's quarterly and appeared soon thereafter in Japan in a Japanese translation, where it received much negative attention, especially from women's groups that condemned the organizers of and participants in the sex tours. It also sparked my interest in the author, who was a year away from seeing his first collection of stories in print and, like me, was in his 30s. While my dissertation kept me busy during the days that followed, I spent many nights reading everything I could by Huang Chunming, and discovered the anomalous nature of the story I'd translated. Nearly everything else I found was demonstrably different: stories of local Taiwanese, as opposed to transplanted Mainlanders; stories set in Taiwan's towns and villages, not in Taipei. Having done almost all my work on writers and writing from the Republican era, mainly the 1930s, Taiwanese writing was new to me, and I consider myself lucky to have been introduced to one of the leading voices of the "nativist" group of writers in my first encounter, a writer who had emerged as one of the participants in a prolonged literary polemic with the modernist school of writers associated with National Taiwan University (Huang had attended many schools, with decidedly mixed results, and definitely not the elite NTU). Martial Law was still in effect at the time—it would end in 1987, prior to the death of President Chiang Ching-kuo—and writers had to be careful of what they wrote. Of course, censors, being censors—zealous literalists—had no interest in stories of an oppressed populace struggling to get by, so long as those stories refrained from being openly rebellious and avoided certain terms and concepts. Huang took advantage of that by masking his accounts of repression with humor, folk wisdom, and other devices: a strategy that became his trademark.
I finally met Chunming not long after I began teaching at San Francisco State University. Huang, a free spirit like his father (who had come to the US without knowing English and opened a Chinese restaurant somewhere in the Midwest), was traveling around the States in a beat-up, uninsured car he would later abandon when it crapped out on him. We had corresponded briefly, through the good offices of Nancy Ing, so he simply showed up at my flat one day, and that was the beginning of our friendship. I don't know what we talked about, other than his stories, several of which I had read and was interested in translating; I'm sure he regaled me with his storytelling talent. He would pepper his Mandarin, which I understood, with Taiwanese, which I didn't, and yet I would always know what he was saying. That talent has stayed with him over the years, and he has become, in my view, the archetype of a speaker of the hybrid language—a mixture of the two languages, with a smattering of English or Japanese—that is contemporary Taiwan's lingua franca.
Over the years that followed, I made a point of seeing Chunming (whom I called Ah-ming; he called me Ah-lui, the Taiwanese pronunciation of a word in my first Chinese name. I'm now known by a name I like better, though Ah-lui retains its charm) each time I visited Taiwan. On one of those occasions, he and I set out on a hair-raising motor scooter ride to the north of Taipei and up into the mountains to see some important sights, including the building that housed the brothel in "Sayonara*Zaijian." Though I'd done some traveling around the island over the years, this was my first intimate view of the Taiwan with which he most closely identified, and the people and places that populated most of his stories. The trip ended at a sidewalk teashop—run by local Taiwanese, of course—where I caught my breath and we smoked some cheap cigarettes and drank tea with the proprietor. On our way back down the mountain road, he pointed out scattered packets of spirit money someone had released for a relative who had died on the twisting, dangerous road. I returned to Taipei with mixed feelings, still somewhat shaky after the nerve-racking ride. I haven't been on a scooter since.
In 1980, Indiana University Press published my collection of Huang's stories, The Drowning of an Old Cat, which included, in addition to "Sayonara*Zaijian," some of the finest stories ever written in Chinese, and one, "Fish," that I consider virtually perfect, on par with Raymond Carver's "A Small, Good Thing," Alice Munro's "The Runaway" , Lu Xun's "Kong Yiji," and a bunch of stories by William Trevor. It did not include the raucous novella "I Love Mary," a dust-up of the slavish attitude of many Taiwanese toward the US, which was published soon after Taiwan was kicked out of the UN and President Carter shifted recognition from Taiwan to the PRC. Ah-ming and I never talked about "Mary," but he did sound off when he heard that I had translated the brilliant comic satire Rose, Rose, I Love You (1994) by his friend Wang Zhenhe, which dealt with a similar topic—prostitutes in an eastern Taiwan seaport who are subjected to the idiocies of a so-called teacher in order to learn enough English to entertain GIs on R & R from Vietnam. "I did that long before Zhenhe," he complained, "in my novella The Little Widows (1975). Why didn't you translate that?" Gulp! Actually, I'd been commissioned to do the Wang novel by Columbia University Press, which would publish Ah-ming's second collection of stories, The Taste of Apples, in 2001. He forgave me, in part because there already was a translation of "Mary" available; I considered retranslating it, to which he reacted enthusiastically. I still haven't gotten around to it.
Ah-ming and I have not spent a lot of time discussing either his stories or my translation of them. Lamentably, I have only once had the opportunity to work closely with a writer who is proficient in English, Pai Hsien-yung (Bai Xianyong), and he was mostly proficient in English gay slang. While I have read complaints from translators that authors who know the second language can be difficult to work with (notably Carlos Fuentes and Milan Kundera), having the good fortune to hammer out nuanced language with the author would be welcome; other than Pai, none of "my authors" have afforded me that opportunity. The most common substance of my exchanges with Ah-ming, who understands more English than he'll admit to, has been the use and spelling of Taiwanese words, phrases, and names. Taiwanese is a language I have gained some modest proficiency in, but I missed the opportunity to really learn it when I had both the capacity and the time to do so. That had something to do both with my need to learn "Chinese" (Mandarin) and to the official discrimination at the time against the "local dialect."
There was one issue we needed to deal with together in the finely structured and heartbreaking story, "His Son's Big Doll." Kunshu, the protagonist, ekes out a living as a sandwich-board adman, dressed in clownish military attire. He eventually takes on a more "respectable" job that doesn't require him to dress up. When his son rejects him the first time he sees him without his makeup, Kunshu begins re-applying face paint. Asked by his wife what he's doing, he responds ambiguously: "I . . . I . . ." In a later version, however, the ending has been clarified: "I . . . I want him to recognize me." While I personally preferred the earlier version, either Ah-ming or the publisher talked me into using the fuller ending. I still wonder if I made the right choice.
I returned to Taiwan in the summer of 1980, after giving an invited talk in Hong Kong. I planned to spend most of the summer there, and was living in a rented flat. While there, I received a telegram that had been sent to San Francisco inviting me to visit the Northeast Chinese author Xiao Jun in Beijing. I was ecstatic; it would be my first trip to China. I flew immediately to Hong Kong―after being sent off by Ah-ming, who reminded me to take lots of pictures―where I was issued a Chinese visa. I went first to Beijing, staying the better part of a week, meeting writers, critics, publishers, and translators, and being stared at—a lot. I begged my hosts to be allowed into Northeast China (Manchuria), the topic of so much of my research, but still an area that had not been opened up to foreigners. I either wowed them with unassailable logic or earned their pity, for I was granted permission to visit the major cities in the three provinces of Manchuria and to stop briefly in the town where my favorite author was born. It was the highlight of the trip and is still one of my fondest memories. I took lots of pictures. Then it was on to Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, before I re-emerged in Hong Kong, where I gathered my thoughts, tamped down my emotions, and bought books.
A couple of weeks later, I was back in Taipei. The powers that be were not terribly pleased that I had visited Red China. But for Ah-ming, the excitement of seeing how those damned Communists lived and what they looked like was overwhelming. He bombarded me with questions, dragged me to a photo shop to develop many rolls of film, and, I think, began planning his own visit to the Mainland somewhere down the line. He eventually made it, of course, but by then it was part of a larger travel itinerary; nonetheless, he is someone who never does anything by halves, and he got as much out of me and out of his later trips as humanly possible. I don't know if he's ever written about his travels in China, but if he has, I'm sure his recollections of his travels are more insightful than mine.
Ah-ming all but stopped writing short stories in 1974; for years he talked about the novel he was planning—I still remember parts of it, and have to laugh whenever I think about them—but he never ended up writing it. I think it would be, or would have been, a terrific read, but I guess he couldn't sit still long enough to get it done, and that is our loss. Over the next decade, diverse collections of his early fiction appeared, as did films of some of his stories, involving many of the big names in cinema—Wu Nianzhen and Hou Hsiao-Hsien, among others. Ah-ming himself wrote the film script for at least one of the film adaptations. Over that period, his energies took him in several directions, some cultural (children's books and plays, sponsoring events in his hometown of Yilan) and some not (marketing bottled spring water). We met, briefly, from time to time.
Then in 1986, he was back, with three stories published over six weeks in the United Daily News (Lianhe bao). Once they were out and had been discussed by others, the poet Ya Xian, longtime editor of the paper's literary page, invited the two of us to lunch at a café on Dunhua South Road for an on-the-record conversation about Ah-ming's new "nativist" stories: "Blind Ah-mu," "Mr. Nowadays," and "Swatting Flies." To my eternal discredit, I was cruelly candid, saying that while I enjoyed all three, I thought they fell short of the brilliant stories of the 60s and 70s. At one point, I went so far as to remark that their author, my friend, seemed sort of rusty. You don't tell a woman she's put on a few pounds, you don't tell an athlete he's slowing down, and you never tell a writer his works don't measure up (although, interestingly, people do that all the time with translators).
Needless to say, the conversation did not make it onto the literary page, and a friendship that had developed over more than a decade hit a road bump. Ah-ming was understandably frosty toward me after that, and our meetings grew less frequent. A couple of years later, I was asked by Nie Hualing, co-director, with her husband, poet Paul Engle, of the Iowa Writer's Workshop, to edit a volume of Huang Chunming's stories in Chinese for a Hong Kong publisher. I saw this both as a chance to make his work more easily available to Chinese readers outside Taiwan and to ease the strain I'd created in our friendship. I asked Ah-ming for a list of his favorite stories, to which I added some of my own favorite stories of his to make an even ten. He did not include the sensitive three that we had fought over, but I made sure they were in the book, along with a reprint of a long essay I'd written about his fiction and a short but glowing introduction; he supplied photographs. Happily, we were back on track, and though we were both crazily busy with all sorts of things, we managed to stay in touch, sharing a meal whenever we could manage.
In 2004, the sad news reached me that Ah-ming's younger son, a talented writer in his own right, had taken his own life. There was, of course, nothing I could do or say to lessen the grief that he and his wife, Lin Mei-yin, whom everyone calls Yumi, suffered then and for years to come. Being designated a National Literary Treasure (Wenxue guobao) didn't help much, but it did acknowledge the central role Ah-ming has played in Taiwanese culture for half a century. In recent years, he has kept busy with his children's theater and with a literary journal named Jiuqu shibawan (Nine Twists and Eighteen Turns) in his hometown of I-lan (Yilan), traveling back and forth from Taipei every week. Having spent much of his time in the early years at the Mingxing (Astoria) coffee shop and salon in Taipei, he has decided to recapture the atmosphere by opening his own coffee shop and salon across from the Yilan Train Station. During our last meeting with Ah-Ming and Yumi, in July of last year, my wife and I were invited to drop by the coffee shop the next time we were in Taiwan. Not long ago, I broached the subject of a new collection of stories with him and the Chinese University of Hong Kong Research Center for Translation. I selected a number of translated stories that had never been anthologized and translated others, including one of his latest, which he forwarded to me. I'm hoping that some of his fine artwork, including his paper-cut silhouettes, will find its way into the collection, which will be published in late spring under the title Stories.
Ah-ming and I are now in our seventies, but neither of us is about to slow down; while it's not a competition, we're both eager to show the other how much is left to do and how we're going to go about doing it. And when that novel is finally written, I stand ready to translate it, in part to help burnish an already enviable reputation, but also to remind me how enjoyable collaborating with him has been through the years.

Traits Of Interior Space
By way of 4 design and style projects of varied scale and escalating complexity, students will address basic lessons of geometry, proportion, scale, formal organization, spatial definition, light, sequence and movement. A Great Architectural Design and style should be simply adapted to the various surroundings of different landmarks about and the ground circumstances. In the courses, you will study critical study approaches, style theory, strategic considering, and historical and contemporary design practices—all within the broader context of urban and architectural design and style studies.
Right after the project, I have gained a deeper appreciation and understanding behind the designs of buildings, as I have had a glimpse in the trials and tribulations of coming up with a superior style. There is no improved way for you to gain encounter in your field than actually functioning in it. The internship is a opportunity for you to function onsite for a firm or style studio in your field of interest—while applying all the approaches you discovered in the classroom and in workshops. Without the lag, I really feel that I would have been to full my style significantly more quickly, and more efficiently.
The influence that every single style value has had on design movements and person designers has varied all through history. Master's applications are open to students with a degree or diploma in an unrelated field if the applicant has completed or will full further research in the subject location.

ACCORD helps not-for-profit organizations realize their potential – their visions of what they want to become. And ACCORD strengthens organizations by providing them with the management and governance strategies they need to respond to the rapid and dramatic changes in today's environment.
Strategic Planning
ACCORD's strategic planning counsel can be as comprehensive as the client desires, i.e., beginning with information gathering and proceeding through implementation. Or, consultants can offer targeted planning interventions on specific issues, such as new program or service development.
- Assess the internal and external environments;
- Understand their constituents' needs;
- Confirm or update their mission and vision;
- Develop goals and objectives to achieve their mission;
ACCORD believes that the process of strategic planning is as important as the plan. Through participation in the process, stakeholders "buy in" to the changes that result and resistance to the plan is reduced, if not eliminated. For these reasons, ACCORD ensures a "team approach" to strategic planning through:
- Meaningfully involving an organization's key stakeholders: board, staff, funders, donors, and other relevant parties;
- Eliciting board and executive staff input into the planning process;
- Creating a workable, flexible plan with clear accountability for implementation.
Through these participative processes, clients identify their mission and core values, a vision for the longer-term future, measurable goals, and short-term objectives.
In any case, ACCORD's approach is collaborative, working with the client's data, expertise, and staff, thus minimizing the cost to the client and increasing the likelihood of successful implementation due to the active participation of key stakeholders in the process.
Organizational Diagnosis & Change
ACCORD provides in-depth analysis of organizational and management structures and can help executive staffs manage significant change in organizations through:
- Evaluating an organization's structure, reporting relationships, decision-making processes, and communications channels;
- Presenting structured feedback, conclusions, and recommendations; and
- Assisting with change implementation.
Specifically, ACCORD provides the following types of consultation.
- Mission Assessment
- Team Effectiveness
- Aligning Structure With Strategy
Board Development
One of ACCORD's major areas of expertise is board development. ACCORD provides a wide range of assistance, from a one-time board retreat to a comprehensive assessment of governance structure and functioning, including the following:
- Comprehensive Governance Assessment
- Board Orientation and Education
- Board Retreats
- Board Evaluation and Development

He could not imagine any greater joy than to go away into the woods for months on end, to break off this chaga, crumble it, boil it up on a campfire, drink it and feel well like an animal.To walk through the forest for months, to know no other care than to get better! Just as a dog goes to search for some mysterious grass that will save him.
From " The Cancer Ward"
By Alexander Solzenicyn
Chaga - the priceless gold of russia.
The endless birch groves, small birch groves on the banks of the numerous rivers and streams, delicate white and green spaces of ligature of birches... No country in the world has such an abundance of birch trees. And chaga fungus that grows on birch trunks appears to be one of the most enigmatic health supporting miracles of Russian nature. Due to unique properties of the wild chaga it is gaining popularity in many countries and is especially sought after by Chinese, Japanese, Korean and American people. Chaga mushroom has very distinctive features and looks like a black cracked mass in appearance. Unlike any other mushroom, chaga is not actually growing on the bark of a tree but it is developing from the inside of a trunk outwards. It is very easy to distinguish chaga from any other tree fungus. There is a large article about it here.
In Russia chaga is known also under the names "black birch mushroom" or "birch lip" or "shulta". Its present name "Chaga" had probably originated from the Old Slavonic word "Gaga" which means "a lip". The Siberians call chaga a "shulta".
In Russia, birch tree has always been considered as a symbol of Russia and was believed to be one of the most curative trees. In local folk medicine every part of birch tree ( juice, leaves, buds, wood, bark, chaga mushroom) is used for health-supporting purposes and health-related applications. Chaga and birch tree are strongly interlinked with each other.
Because of natural symbiose between birch tree and chaga fungus, the age of the tree plays an important role in aquisition and accumulation of health-supportive properties by chaga mushroom. Chaga mushroom draws its nutrients out of a living birch tree rather than from the ground. Thus the older is the tree the more biologically active substances have been accumulated in chaga mushroom over time.
The best hosts for chaga mushroom are Betula pendula and Betula pubescens. Sometimes chaga mushroom can destroy birch tree on which it grows. However it happens mostly to the very old trees which become exhausted by chaga mushroom, especially if there are several chaga mushrooms on one trunk. The above picture illustrates exactly this case.
HEALTH supporting propereties belong to wild chaga.
All artificially grown "chaga" is nothing but useless stuff comparing to wildcrafted natural mushroom. Cultivated chaga can be called "fake chaga" because it has totally different chemical composition and properties. Moreover, it doesn't posses any chromogenic complex compound found in wildgrown species. And this complex of chaga acids and melanin is the key factor for health benefits attributed to chaga mushroom.
Below pictures may help you to distinguish wildcrafted chaga mushroom from cultivated chaga mushroom.
Wild chaga mushroom consists of three parts: the black outermost layer called "sclerotium", the second part called "fruiting body" and the third one without name which appears as porous and soft part of chaga.
More than 80% of all biologically active substances of chaga mushroom are concentrated in chaga parts called sclerotium and fruiting body. Artificially grown chaga doesn't have any "fruiting body" part and its sclerotium layer is extremely thin.
Chaga mushroom conk is comprised mostly of this yellowish, useless layer, so it is worth to remember when checking the quality.
CROSS SECTION OF CHAGA mushroom.
Three layers of wild chaga are clearly visible. The sclerotium is the oldest layer and most beneficial for people. Whereas the light brown layer is "transitional", all juices and phytonutrients from a birch tree are being transported through this layer without leaving much traces and eventually landed in the fruiting body and sclerotium parts. Phytonutrients, trace elements, chaga acids and other biologically active compounds accumulate themselves inside of these two layers within the whole life of the birch tree. Therefore an old chaga mushroom is potentially more powerful than the young chaga mushroom.
Chaga on the right picture perhaps has never been growing on a birch tree. Most probably it has been grown artificially on a farm by fermentation. Its sclerotium layer is very thin and there is no fruiting body to see - just yellow porous stuff.
One of the reasons why our premium quality chaga extract is famous for its extraordinary high content of antioxidans is that we are removing the "useless layer" from every single chunk of chaga before it goes to manufacturing floor. The process of removal is done manually. As a result, our freeze-fried chaga extract is almost black in color, because it's been made only from chaga layers reach in antioxidants and melanin. Below picture illustrates chaga mushroom chunk ready for production of chaga extract.
raw chaga and chaga extract.
These are two different products. Chaga extract powder is much more potent than raw chaga (chaga tea). This is important to know if you would like to get maximum benefits from chaga mushroom. Information about the difference between raw chaga mushroom and chaga mushroom extract powder is avalaible here. For ordering freeze-dried chaga extract powder you are welcome to our chagastore.
it has an amazing God-given powers!

text: In the Jan/Feb issue, the article "In Fine Detail" discussed how the owners love the quartersawn oak trim in their house. Now, knowing full well how popular quartersawn oak was at the time of their home's construction, I'm looking at the trim I can see on the pages and wondering if it's really flat grain fir, which was one of the standard wood types at the time and really looks like their trim. Our house has trim that looks an awful lot like theirs; we originally thought it was qtrsawn oak but as we did more research we now think it's flatgrain fir - there are no flake/ray patterns like oak, and it's not heavy or hard enough to he oak. It also looks a lot like the few pieces of fir we've bought new to replace a couple missing pieces. Anyone know for sure what their wood trim is? And how can I be sure what ours is?

Sidney and Miriam had been married if 52 years when Sidney passed.
He knew that he was dying, and was had resigned himself to the fact. He had battled with Miriam for most of the 52 years. He was tired. They were battling until the end. On July 24, 2005, Sidney died. Miriam lived almost two more years and died on May 23, 2007.
Sidney was not a particularly religious man. He wasn't convinced that there was an afterlife.
Strangely at the funeral he was aware of his surroundings. He could hear his daughter sobbing. He could hear his twin sons fighting over who gets to keep his Cadillac. He knew that he should have given it away. He heard a frail voice. It sounded like Miriam, but without the shrillness.
"I'm going to miss him." Said Miriam. "He was my whole life."
Sidney wanted to jump out of the coffin. Was this the woman that harangued him for all those years? Who never was satisfied by the money that he made.
"He was such a good provider." Said Miriam "He kept me warm for 52 years."
Bullshit!, thought Sidney. She threw out of the bed in 1982. Would you throw the dirt on me already, so that I can finally rid myself of this shrew!
Even in the ground Sidney could hear voices. Mr. And Mrs, Rabinowitz, who were buried a few plots over, discussing how nice it was that their grandchildren came that day. Mr. Levine telling Mrs. Levine how much he misses her stuffed cabbage.
Sidney thought, at last I'm at peace. I don't have to listen to that woman anymore.
One day he heard his children's and grandchildren's voices. He didn't hear Miriam's voice. He heard the Rabbi speaking of the wonderful Miriam Klugman. Then he suddenly heard what he feared most.
"Sidney are you awake? Couldn't you leave me with any money? You couldn't pay the credit card."
Sidney suddenly realized that this was his final reward!

A vaccine that could free patients with genital herpes from lifelong drug treatment to control outbreaks has shown promise in a phase II trial.
The vaccine - called GEN-003 and developed by Genocea Biosciences - is a T cell-enabled therapeutic vaccine designed to reduce the duration and severity of clinical symptoms associated with genital herpes and control transmission of the causative organism Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2).
At the moment, there is no vaccine available for HSV-2, which affects an estimated 400m people worldwide between the ages of 15 and 49. If approved, GEN-003 would be the first therapeutic vaccine to address genital herpes - or indeed any infectious disease - and Genocoa has previously predicted that it could become a $1bn product if brought to market.
Genital herpes is a recurrent, lifelong viral infection and while symptoms can be managed with antiviral drugs such as valaciclovir or famciclovir, patients tend to suffer recurrent outbreaks, in some cases several times a year. HSV is spread when patients have symptoms, so a key goal is to prevent outbreaks occurring.
However, efforts to develop an effective vaccine for HSV-2 have resulted in a string of failures. Last year, Vical reported that two versions of its experimental vaccine failed to show efficacy in a phase III trial, while in 2012 GlaxoSmithKline dropped its Simplirix candidate on disappointing data.
In the phase II trial reported at the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) in Washington DC this week, 310 patients with HSV-2 infection were treated with placebo or three doses of the GEN-003 vaccine (at varying doses) given three weeks apart.
After the six months follow-up, there was an average 58% reduction in viral shedding. According to Zeena Nawas of the Center for Clinical Studies in Houston, Texas, who presented the results at the AAD meeting, this was a clinically relevant reduction and should reduce transmission of the virus.
At the six-month time point all the participants in the study reported reductions in lesions - including those in the placebo group - and it was not possible to show a difference between the vaccine and control. Reductions ranged from 43% to 69%, according to the presentation.
Nevertheless, the investigators suggest that a difference between the vaccine and placebo may become apparent at a later time point; 12-month data is due for publication in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, virologic and clinical efficacy data from a phase IIb study is expected in the middle and second half of 2016, respectively.
Analysts responded positively to news of the phase II data presented at the AAD meeting, with UBS and Citigroup both starting coverage of the company with a 'buy' rating.
Other companies working on HSV-2 vaccines include Sanofi/Immune Design, Agenus, Tomegavax and Australian company Admedus, which has also just reported preliminary phase II data on its candidate.
Data from the first 20 patients enrolled into the 44-patient study revealed a 90% reduction in monthly disease outbreaks and a reduction in average number of days HSV-2 was detected in patients compared to baseline. The trial is due to complete later this year.

The Bridge
by David Cain
I had spent the evening with Jake at a bar. When we left, he said, "I need to go over there," he motioned to a small park beyond the last restaurant. "It will only take a few minutes."
I looked the other way, toward my car but I couldn't quite bring myself to refuse him. He'd been going through some rough times and down inside, I knew I could turn around and leave him if he was being unreasonable. There was a good chance he was on a stupid path to trouble, so I was always considering turning around.
We approached a small foot bridge between a mass of trees. As we reached the trees, he told me to wait there, that he'd be right back, keep a look out.
"What am I looking for?" I asked as he ran to the bridge, knowing I'd know when I saw it; a jealous husband or the cops. Lovely.
"I didn't think you'd come," said a woman behind me.
"Nonsense. When have I ever let you down?"
"Not you, I'm just … never mind."
"Happy to see me, then?"
"So happy," she exclaimed. "I almost couldn't make it myself."
"I'm glad you did."
"He was drunk all night but he only just passed out."
"Forget about him. I'm here now."
"Yes, you are."
After that the smack of lips and the rustle of clothes washed over the soft whispered inaudible words that followed. I didn't turn around, being a good look out, now aware that I was looking for an angry drunk guy, not really wanting to see my friend get it on with a married woman.
But I couldn't help but wonder how far they would take it, given the place they had chosen. They could lean against the rail or they could rut on the dirty ground. Fingering and rubbing would be relatively easy. They might figure out some way to get his cock out so she could suck on it. On the bridge, she could lean against the railing and he could slip it in from behind, although that would be pretty impersonal given the situation. She wasn't a whore trying to get him off. She was a married woman cheating on her husband out of love for him.
A woman loved Jake. I guess anything can happen.
So I was lost in thought, listening to their slobbering and trying to guess what position they had worked themselves into. A dark figure started crossing the field.
"Shit," I hissed. "Jake! Bogie at twelve o'clock."
The rustling and whispering grew louder with added sounds of people struggling to stay balanced. The man, for I could by then see it was a man, came closer. The rustling continued as he reached me.
"What's going on?" an old drunk said. Clearly not their old drunk.
"Just enjoying the night."
"Can I bum a smoke?" he asked.
"I got nothing."
"Cool," he said. "They fucking back there?"
"Yeah. Probably."
"You didn't look."
"There are things I don't want to see."
"That's wisdom for you."
As Jake emerged, still adjusting his shirt, he said, "who was that?"
"The future."
"Some old drunk."
"Let's get out of here?"
"Have a good time?"
"Yeah. I've got to stop doing that."
"As if you could."

Religious minorities rant and rave over the provoking speech by PML-N leader retired Captain Muhammad Safdar. On Tuesday, October 10, he lashed out against Ahmadi community during his speech in the National Assembly. Capt. Safdar accused that Ahmadis were acting against Pakistan's interests and said that stern action against Ahmadi community.
"These people [Ahmadis] are a threat to this country, its Constitution and ideology. This situation is heading towards a dangerous point," he said during his speech. He said that he wanted to introduce a resolution in the National Assembly calling for a "ban on recruitment of Qadianis [Ahmadis] in the armed forces". He asserted that "Because theirs is a false religion, in which there is no concept of jihad for Allah."
The former military serviceman, Capt. Safdar also said that members of Ahmadi community are appointed and promoted to higher military positions and "could not be trusted" with the responsibility of guarding Pakistan's borders. He demanded that all government servants should be obliged to sign a declaration that they swear by the idea of Khatam-e-Naboowat.
Moreover, Capt Safdar also objected to renaming of Quaid-i-Azam University's (QAU) physics center after Professor Dr. Abdus Salam- Pakistan's first Nobel laureate. He referred to Dr. Salam as "a controversial figure that has been termed an infidel in light of the Constitution." He demanded that Dr. Abdus Salam's name should be delinked from Quaid-i-Azam University's physics department.
Capt. Safdar's speech has incited nationwide anger as members of religious minorities along with the civil society are pouring condemnation upon the hatred drive being carried out against minorities.

Obama gains in fast-growing counties
The broad sweep of Barack Obama's victory included significant gains in some of the unlikeliest places — the nation's fastest-growing counties.
Four years after George W. Bush underscored the Republican dominance of these places by winning 97 of the 100 fastest-growing counties, Obama won 15 of them in 2008 and dramatically scaled back the GOP's margin of victory in many more, according to a Politico analysis of unofficial election results in the Census Bureau's 100 counties that grew the fastest between April 2000 and July 2007.
Story Continued Below
Obama won the three largest of these high-growth counties: Riverside County in Southern California, Las Vegas' Clark County and the Research Triangle's Wake County, N.C.
Obama ran ahead of Democrat John Kerry's 2004 performance in 94 of the counties and grew the Democratic share by 8 or more percentage points in 29 of them. His improved performance over John Kerry in these high-growth places probably provided his margin of victory in at least two closely contested states: Indiana and North Carolina.
The counties on the Census Bureau list cover 31 states, and their growth rates range from 77.5 percent in Kendall County, Ill., to 27.9 percent in Burnet County, Texas. The largest is Riverside County, with an estimated population of just over 2 million; the smallest is Spencer County, Ky., outside of Louisville.
The nation's fastest-growing counties, many of them exurbs on the outskirts of metropolitan areas, have been killing fields for Democratic candidates in recent elections. In 2000, Bush carried 91 of the 100 fastest-growing counties at the time — and in nearly half, he won by landslide margins of more than 2-to-1.
But beginning in 2005, Democrats began to show signs of life on the exurban frontier. In Virginia, Tim Kaine won six of the state's 10 fastest-growing counties, including Loudoun and Prince William counties, both of which backed Bush twice and both of which are currently among the nation's 100 fastest-growing counties.
"Things are different in the exurbs than they were in 2004. Think about commuting, energy costs, the economy, home foreclosures and housing values," said Robert Lang, co-director of the Metropolitan Institute at Virginia Tech University. "And there have been changes in the character of the exurbs. They were happier four years ago and slightly less diverse and slightly less tied into the cosmopolitan atmosphere of the cities."
While the economic and political environment has changed significantly from 2004, the improved Democratic performance in counties experiencing the most explosive population growth can also be traced to the Obama campaign's aggressive outreach efforts.
"Obama said he'd run directly at these places. Where was his last stop? Manassas," noted Lang, referring to the county seat of Virginia's Prince William County. Obama won the county 56 percent to 43 percent.
In Indiana, the attention may have been enough to deliver the state's 11 electoral votes. In heavily Republican Hamilton County, which grew by 43 percent between 2000 and 2007, the Obama effort included a visit from Michelle Obama, two storefront campaign offices, a local Republicans for Obama organization and aggressive canvassing operations.
After two consecutive elections in which Bush won 74 percent, Hamilton County gave John McCain a considerably diminished 61 percent to 39 percent win.
In Hendricks County, Indiana's only other entrant among the fastest-growing 100, the story was the same: a 74 percent Bush county where McCain managed only 61 percent. Between the two, GOP presidential margins were down more than 32,000 votes from 2004 in a state that Obama won by less than 26,000 votes.
North Carolina's Wake County, one of the 13 fast-growing Bush counties that Obama picked off, proved even more decisive. In 2004, Bush carried Wake by 51 percent to 49 percent, with a winning margin of 7,415 votes. Four years later, Obama won 57 percent to 42 percent there, with a winning margin of 63,370 votes in a state Obama won by less than 14,000 votes.
"Democrats in general are beginning to change their tune about these areas. There's a conscious effort to compete in these areas and not concede them," said Ruy Teixeira, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress who has written extensively about the suburbs and exurbs. "Ninety percent of life is showing up, and the fact that Obama showed up in these areas made a real difference."

Enid Kruckeberg said it's the largest public art in the City of Shoreline. (Yes, larger than the Ponies!) Sketched May 6, 2014 Here's a unique place I would take my mom for Mother's Day if she didn't live on another continent: The Kruckeberg Botanic Garden in Shoreline. Mareen and Art Kruckeberg, a local horticulturist-botanist couple, moved to this 4-acre property in 1958 and transformed their grassy backyard into a world-class garden home to more than 2,000 plant species and some cool art installations. Their daughter, Enid Kruckeberg, got a bit misty reminiscing. She showed me the nursery where her late mom spent countless hours propagating plant cuttings that the family would collect during field trips around the region. Enid recalled that so many people would call Mareen to buy her plants, that she started an annual Mother's Day plant sale in 1987 so everyone "could come to the garden and make a day of it." (The event now goes Friday through Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.) Enid's mom passed away before the property was purchased by the city of Shoreline and preserved for future generations. If she saw it today, "she would love it," said Enid. "To have the space saved was what she'd always wanted." Turns out Mareen Kruckeberg wasn't just a horticulturist. She also relished illustrating the plants she worked so hard to nurture. Enid showed me some prints signed with her mom's distinctive rendering of her initials: MsK. The artwork instantly inspired me to do some close-up sketches of plants myself. Drawing every single leaf, you sure realize how unique every plant is. No wonder they give them all those Latin names to differentiate one from another. North Seattle College instructor Lynne Hull and her students created this temporary art installation for the garden. Isn't it cool? It's one of several "Talking Tree Stops" where you can dial a phone number for more information. A highlight of my visit to the garden was meeting Art Kruckeberg, who is 94. A native of Los Angeles, Kruckeberg said the love for plants and agriculture runs in his family. His grandfather published agricultural journals and had a 2-acre garden in Pasadena. Art and Mareen met at the University of Washington, where he taught botany for many years. He remembered exactly how they met: "She was in my field class."

Email, Skype, and the phone only go so far; you need to make plans to see each other... and not just because you miss each other (which is important), but also because your relationship depends on it.
To really know if you are compatible in the long-term, you need to be around each other and share the same physical space. And time together doesn't mean an endless honeymoon; not everything needs to be over-the-top perfect every time. Dinners and mini-vacations are great... but sometimes normal couples just sit on the couch and watch a movie, talk over coffee, and share the same area. Make it special and make it normal.

The SENTINEL project was supported by Innovate UK (formerly the Technology Strategy Board (TSB)). Its roots lie in an earlier TSB-supported project, GAARDIAN. SENTINEL set out to examine various aspects of the emerging threat from low-cost commercially-available GPS jammers. Whilst those who have been close to the project now take the threat from such jammers almost for granted, this was not the case when the work began in 2008. Matters that now seem clear were then emerging unknowns still requiring corroboration, expert knowledge, testing and trials.
This report brings together diverse aspects of SENTINEL. These include: the SENTINEL platform; long-term test results from it; descriptions of jammers and identification of their provenance; descriptions of trials using jammers; videos and press articles arising from SENTINEL exploitation and dissemination activities; and a review of areas in which research would be justifiable in future.
The project found that the problem is clearly getting worse with some locations detecting 5 to 10 events per day; over 50 web sites selling jammers and law enforcement seizing much more powerful jammers with much greater ranges and coverage. Whereas GPS was the only satellite PNT system under threat in 2008, now it is all the GNSS frequencies including Galileo.
One important conclusion that became evident from the work on GAARDIAN and SENTINEL; the GPS jamming threat is getting worse; most people don't yet 'get it'; and a 'Black Swan' event will happen in the UK, just as it did in South Korea.
