Our Recent Testimonials
I am almost in shock over the amount of good news I have received this week. I can't even describe to you how grateful I am for your program, and for always being there for me, thank you so much.
It was only when I started taking the cottage cheese mixture, that I saw results almost immediately and consistently.The pain disappeared and I felt better too. I am deeply grateful to Dr Budwig and all your work and support.
I have put your information about the Budwig Center on my facebook page in hopes that it can help others who are in need of healing or want to prevent diseases.
First of all I would like to thank you for everything you did for my mom. We had an amazing experience, we are very thankful for everything you all did. Everyone went above and beyond our expectations.
I was diagnosed with cancer 16 months ago and the hospital told me I only had 7 months to live. I wanted to be treated naturally, so I went to the Budwig Center in Spain. I am still here! I STRONGLY RECOMENED THEM!
TRICAN® - The Real Answer to Degenerative Diseases (and most Diseases) as well as Tumor Activity
1. Helping your body work at its very best!
2. Increase Cell Nutrition - Increased Energy
3. Balance Immunity
4. Anti Aging - on a cellular level
Research and countless testimonials indicate that all illnesses including serious degenerative diseases and tumor activity are the result of a nutritional deficiency. This nutritional deficiency causes structural changes in the amino acid, hormones, biofeedback communication, all cellular nutritional mechanisms, DNA instructions and replication, causing a change in cellular manufacturing instructions and supply.
The TRICAN® supplement was put together by an American bio-chemist who had pancreatic tumor activity and after talking with the doctors about traditional therapies, decided that it was illogical to use chemotherapy and other therapies that "killed" diseased cells but did not correct the "cause" which is the DNA producing the defective cells. The bio-chemist understood the body is somewhat like a "walking laboratory" with several different natural chemical, hormonal, mineral, etc components. He obtained a list of the entire basic chemical makeup of the body and then consumed ultra high amounts of nutrition containing all the 60 natural occurring chemicals, as well as the minerals, amino acids, etc that the body should have. Instead of dying in six months as is the case most often with pancreatic tumor activity, he turned the 'hands of the time clock' backwards and overcame the disease.
He has recovered his health for some 35 years now using his highly nutritional formula. In addition he was in the Twin Towers when they were hit by the terrorists and was in a wheel chair for over a year. He is back walking and he looks about 20 years younger than his actual age.
A regular consumption of white refined sugar, as in fizzy (soft) drinks (1 soft drink contains up to 10 teaspoons of white refined sugar), chips (crisps), store bought pastries, deep fried foods (French fries, donuts) is a major contributing factor to an unbalanced diet as well as prepared meats (hot dogs, sausages, bacon, ham) fast foods, food additives, etc. Most foods are cooked at 350 to 400 F, but whenever we cook our food over 105 F (40 Celsius) instead of steaming our foods, we destroy many of the important enzymes. As well as refined oils and processed foods, toxins, stress and other factors, our body suffers from a mineral deficiency which causes an unbalanced chemistry.
This in turn will alter the instructions of the DNA when producing new cells.
"KILLING" Diseased Cells is NOT the REAL answer!
There is no need to kill diseased cells nor any other "Incorrect" cells, they die as a natural occurrence, like algae in a swimming pool when the pH balance is corrected.
Most clinics and remedies are all about "killing" or "destroying" diseased cells. However the research shows that killing diseased cells is not the real answer. How can you kill a cell made by the body as per DNA instructions without expecting the body to manufacture more after you killed it????
We need to understand that the diseased cells are the result of the problem, not the cause. Therefore, upon killing the diseased cell, "the result of the cause", the cause was never addressed nor corrected. Therefore, the body continues to manufacture diseased cells uninterrupted. Over time, the body produces more diseased cells, the doctors then say, "Oh my goodness, the degenerative disease and tumor came back. How did that happen, I thought we got all of it out !!" They did not realize that they removed the "by-product" of the condition instead of correcting the real true "cause". Killing the diseased cells with harsh chemicals also weakens and kills normal cells and causes biochemical stress, including mineral chelation, taking minerals out of the body. If we keep in mind our body is somewhat like a 'chemical laboratory', the intelligent and effective approach is to supply the body with all the chemical elements, hormones, minerals, etc so it can reproduce cells properly. Here is a list of some 60 chemicals that are naturally present in the human body. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body
Dr. Budwig was not into 'killing' diseased cells and tumors. Her approach was to give the body adequate nutrition. The true remedy is proper nutritional restoration to the nervous system and cell nutrition throughout the body which in turn causes corrective domino - effect reactions. Upon nutritional correction, the body resumes correct DNA instructions leading to correct cell production.
When the body's environmental factors are correct, the body no longer manufactures the diseased cells, the existing diseased cells are no longer able to exist in the corrected environment and die in a natural manner and are eventually replaced by normal cells.
This change alters the DNA instructions, which causes the body to manufacture cells, hormones and chemistry differently, in a mass production method.
To illustrate this, imagine you are making thousands and millions of photocopies.
However the original document because of carelessness gets a mark on it from food or some other product. Now every copy that is produced will show up with that unsightly, horrible unwanted mark on it. That's what happens to our 'original' DNA that produces cells when harmful foods and lack of nutritional foods are not provided.
The cells now have damage to them and each day the body produces some an estimated 500 million new cells. These 'new cells' are a mirror image or 'photocopy' of the original cells.
If the original is damaged then the copy will be damaged or lacking as well. That is why we need to correct the 'original document', the DNA. Otherwise it will keep on producing millions and trillions of defective 'copies'.
Its an endless task as each day the body will produce another 500 million defective "photocopies". The TRICAN® supplement corrects the original "document" or DNA of the cells with a blast of ultra high nutrition. That way the DNA will now start producing healthy cells instead of distorted and diseased cells. That is the real solution to the problem.
When a doctor sees that "differently manufactured cell", they call it a tumor diseased cells, and remove it as though that is the disease. If hormones are made incorrectly, the results include diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc. In reality, these are not diseases because the body created them as a result of the incorrect chemistry. The only way to eliminate the problem is to correct the deficiency.
To correct this problem, the BUDWIG CENTER provides its patients with a highly nutritional powder mix called TRICAN® that literally shocks the body's autonomous nervous system with high doses of minerals, amino acids and Vitamin E and D.
This harmonizes with the approach of Dr. Budwig who would supply highly nutrition food such as the flaxseed oil and cottage cheese to her patients to restore the health of the cells.
Also she would apply flaxseed oil and Wheat Germ oil which is rich in Vitamin E to get that into the body and highly charge it with live energy and she encouraged sunbathing to cause the body to produce Vitamin D in great quantities.
Even normally healthy people that consume TRICAN® notice several benefits within a few weeks. Because TRICAN® is
correcting the actual cell reproduction on a DNA level this is perhaps one of the most effective anti aging natural
food products. Most experience more energy, increased or restoration of libido, increased stamina, stronger immune
system (fewer colds, flu and other common illnesses), general overall well-being.

I tend to think of nature more than what the names would look like on people. Here's what I see when I hear my favorite girl's names:
Angeline - A storm brewing on the open ocean: powerful and dark.
Adeline - Birds tweeting from tree to tree.
Savannah - Dense tropical greenery next to clear-blue waters in the Caribbean.
Paige - A light dusting of snow in the growing forest.
Skye - A drizzly day out in the country
Reverie - A calming path lined by huge sagging willow trees.
Genevieve - A huge New-Orleans-style mansion covered in crawling ivy.
Bryony - A babbling brook surrounded by lush, green ferns and huge birch trees with sunlight peeking through from between the leaves.
Evelina - A tulip field with electric pink color as far as the eye can see.
Delphine - An ancient redwood in the misty morning dew.
Juliet - A scorching summer day along the river.
Alexandra - A pebbly beach covered in a thick blanket of fog and the waves crashing upon the shore.~catalina~

Recipe by Chef John
"Thanks to the magic of brining, this really will almost guarantee a juicy, tasty piece of chicken."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 quart cold water
1/3 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup white sugar
1 (4 pound) whole chicken, cut into 4 pieces
1 pint cherry tomatoes
3 habanero peppers, seeded
4 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons prepared Thai sweet chili sauce
Absolutely amazing!!! I must admit I was scared of the habanero peppers so I substituted with jalapenos...BUT next time I am making exactly as the recipe says. Definitely making this again, and again, and again!!!! UPDATE: Remade with the habanero peppers, DELICIOUS!! Don't change a thing. Also, if you have questions watch Chef John's video on this recipe...it is extremely helpful!
The chicken was really moist but the flavor was not one of our favorites.

The PERFECT bbq chicken! I had never tried to grill chicken before, so I was nervous. It turned out amazing, and all 3 people I made dinner for told me it was the best bbq chicken they had ever had! Next time I make it (which will be soon), I am thinking about adding some fresh pineapple to the brine. Amazing!
OMG OMG OMG - made this chicken yesterday and it was amazing. Can't stop thinking about it - may have to make it again today. Chef John I love you!
Delicious! I always brine my chicken. I usually just use beer and salt, but this adds extra flavor. UPDATE: I have made this a couple of times now, and the frist time I made as is and the second time I only used 3 1/2 TBSP of salt and marinated it over night, the flavor was much better and less salty as the original recipe. Do use gloves when handling the habanero peppers and make sure to dry the chicken well before grilling, that way the skin will crisp up.
The magic of brining is exactly right, well done Chef John. This is so moist and flavorful, the only change I made was to use a whole chicken split in half and weigh the chicken down with tinfoil covered bricks while grilling. The extra weight flattens the chicken for better grill marks and a more even cooking surface. Thanks for the Cherry BOMB Chicken, BTW...if you have leftovers, pull the chicken and add a little bbq sauce for an awesome bbq chicken on a bun meal completed with beans and slaw.
No need to repeat what's already been said. An excellent recipe for moist and delicious chicken. It was actually quite simple to make.
Just when I thought there wasn't another chicken recipes I could try............THIS is my absolute favorite above all others. My husband loved it, also. The only thing I think I'll try is doubling the glaze before grilling.......SO good - need even more! BRAVO!

JUST DON'T WATCH IT! Holy shit!
I don't know, while I feel like, yeah, more minorities need to be major players, I also don't feel like every show has to shoehorn characters into their story that wouldn't otherwise be there. (Regardless of race, gender, sexual preference, etc.)
It's a show about 4 white girls and their troubled little white girl lives. I'm not going to cry if those four white girls don't have a minority friend.
And again, yes, the show has only aired 2 episodes. It's silly. It's the whole "trying so hard to not be racist that it goes all the way around to being racist again" scenario that is also prevalent in our culture.
Too much is being made of this quote. I don't think the writers are trying to portray a character who is the voice of a generation, rather a character who in her youthful narcissism thinks she could be the voice of a generation.There's been a lot of pressure on Girls to be the voice of a generation — or "a voice of a generation," as Dunham's character Hannah puts it in the first episode. Its writers certainly seem to have captured my generation's awkwardness about race.

Cloud Seeding Could Cool Off Seas Where Hurricanes Form, Making Them Weaker
Hurricanes form in warm tropical waters, drawing strength from the heat of the ocean surface — that's why they are expected to worsen as sea surface temperatures increase. But if we could cool them off, they may chill out and decrease in strength. Cloud seeding the areas in front of their path might be a way to do this, a new study says.
The idea is to target marine stratocumulus clouds, which cover about a fourth of the world's oceans. Reflecting more light away from the sea surface would theoretically prevent it from getting as warm. "Then there will be less energy to feed the hurricanes," said Alan Gadian of the University of Leeds.
In this concept, a fleet of drones at or near the surface could spray sprinkles of seawater droplets, some of which would rise into the atmosphere. The increased droplet concentration would make the clouds thicker, causing them to last longer and reflect more sunlight, the Leeds scientists say. By the way, this is the same basic technique Beijing officials used to create rain during the 2008 Olympics.
The scientists ran calculations and found this cloud-brightening technique could decrease the sea surface's temperature by a few degrees, and thereby drop hurricanes' strength down an entire category.
One major downside: Cloud seeding interferes with the atmosphere's natural cycles, so laying a path for new clouds over the ocean would draw moisture away from nearby areas. Like, for instance, the Amazon rainforest. Any future cloud seeding efforts would have to be very careful.
The new study appears in Atmospheric Science Letters.

That insane rant aside, the article only briefly mentions the problem with the plan:
They take large amounts of salt water and turn it fresh through evaporation and then deposit it on land in the form of rain.
Most of the east coast of the US depends on tropical systems to drive moisture up - otherwise dry summers would always be droughts.
A single hurricane system running up the Mississipi Valley would turn one of the worst droughts in a century into flooding.
The amazone depends not only on tropical moisture, but its ability to carry and drop mineral nutrients lifted from Africa to suppliment poor underlying soil.
Yes, hurricanes are bad for human structures, but solid building practices away from shorelines and the massive warning given by these storms make hurricanes one of the most passive of natural disasters.
I agree with Oak, that hurricanes are a good and natural part of our planet. All the environmentalists who go nuts if we harm the environment of a single desert tortoise should be outraged that we could consider upsetting the ecosystems of hundreds of billions of plants, animals, and bugs, just to avoid some extra work on our part.
And that's indeed what it is. We can build structures and entire cities that are pretty much hurricane-proof if we want to. Or we can choose to live in different places. But instead we want to have our cake and eat it too. We want to live in a hurricane zone without paying the extra time, work, and money to have a hurricane-resistant dwelling and area. We want to live in a tornado zone without building a tornado-resistant structure, etc. We take these risks of our own free will, and some people want everyone else to pay for a bazillion drones to change their environment? I don't think so.
I chose to move to an area that was free from all flooding concerns, all hurricane concerns, virtually all tornado concerns, and a slight earthquake risk. I then paid a little extra to have my house built to where it could stand through an 8.0 earthquake, and I pay for a separate earthquake insurance policy. I certainly don't expect others to work their tails off to prepare for me or to clean up after me.
Aside from all that, I doubt this technology is actually feasible. These storms are the size of entire countries. It's one thing to seed clouds over a large city like Beijing, but a hurricane area is much larger. The city Beijing is very large at 6,500 sq miles (which they had weeks to seed), but even an average hurricane will cover 72,500 sq miles every single day as it travels. And it changes direction! You'd have to do some extreme seeding to get any effect at all, and you'd have to do it in a very small window. Because of that direction changing ability, you'd probably have to cover a bit bigger area. So in essence you'd need to seed an area the size of the UK in a single day!
Now, as a practical matter, you'd have to have a vast airbase with serious and specialized heavy equipment that is able to fill with fuel and water tens of thousands of planes at once. Why so many? Well... you do need to cover an area the size of the UK, and do it within 24 hours. And that area is going to be many hundreds of miles away, requiring 3-5 hours flight time each way at a minimum. That also limits your payload. It's basically impossible to do it practically, regardless of how much money you throw at it. But economically, it would never be feasible.
And how much effect would it really have? Would knocking a hurricane down by 1 on the scale (say from a 4 to a 3) really make that much difference? Enough to justify the insane cost?
So let's just move on from the amateurish idea that we can somehow use our brains to control or defeat hurricanes. How about we instead use our brains to build smarter? In better places, with better materials, with better techniques, etc. While it is much more boring, and thus not as fun to read about, it's actually got a shot at working.
Okay, so someone somewhere wants to save lives and property by actively decreasing the severity of storms, I get it. But do all of you get the unintended consequences of doing so? I sincerely doubt it. I live in Oklahoma and the only times we receive rain during the summer is when a strong storm system sweeps our way. Generally this is a hurricane through Louisiana or Texas, or a severe storm front moving down off of the rockies. If someone starts playing God with their weather, it WILL affect my weather patterns. Furthermore, does anyone stop to think that life in these areas evolved with hurricanes as part of the natural cycle of life? What happens when you stop all hurricanes and there are no longer dead trees for that endangered owl to live in in the wild?
I'll stick with Dr. Michio Kaku's theory. We are a type 0 civilization, We will soon become a type 1 civilizition, and part of a type 1 civilization is indeed controling the weather... last time I checked a hurricane definately counts as weather.
That being said, Not sure cloud seeding is the way to go.
Dr. Kaku spoke of controling the weather, this is more of a crude slapping around of the weather. You havn't controlled her - she still has your money and is going to spend it, she is just going to spend it with a busted face.
Now, when we are putting the gentle rains of Spain on Oklahoma's burning plains, every Christmas is white, and the 4th of July is always sunny - THEN we are in that class 1 kind of world.
We could make New Orleans flood proof by landfilling it to 100' above sea level, but that doesn't mean we have done anything about the causes of flooding.
Cmon. This becomes weather as a weapon. We already see the effects of seeding on large scale, and ain't none of it good. Screwing with hurricanes that look like they are gonna hit land is insanity. Don't screw with the planetary evaporation process. Don't screw with our heat convection. What you do to ANY hurricane WILL have killer consequences somewhere else, it's a plain fact. Seeding should be classified an act of war.
Too late. Seeding has been used for peacetime weather alteration for over 50 years already. I just read this article that shows the industry: The Emerging Industry of Cloud Seeding.
It's worrisome. Cloud seeding is doing some good things, but at what cost? You all are right that messing with big projects like modifying hurricanes can cause problems, but you should see what China is doing! And they're not even touching hurricanes.

Question 1: Must a notice be given before each test or will a general notice given to drivers suffice?
Guidance: A driver must be notified before submitting to each test that it is required by part 382. This notification can be provided to the driver either verbally or in writing. In addition, the FHWA believes that the use of the DOT Breath Alcohol Testing Form, OMB No. 2105-0529, and the Drug Testing Custody and Control Form, 49 CFR part 40, appendix A, will support the verbal or written notice that the test is being conducted in accordance with Part 382.

Gartner trims 2010 IT spending forecast
IT spending is still expected to rise this year over 2009, but Gartner believes that European debt problems may put a damper on its previous expectations for growth.
The market researcher said Thursday it has trimmed its estimate for IT spending for 2010 to $3.35 trillion, a gain of 3.9 percent over last year's $3.23 trillion. That marks a lower forecast than the 5.3 percent rise Gartner projected in the first quarter. The company attributed the new outlook to the effects of the devaluation of the euro versus the U.S. dollar.

Gaining the Freshman 15 is an overall fear for all college students. Instead of 15 pounds, it is more likely to be 30 or 40, simply because all of the food off campus is more delectable. Every student has difficulty choosing one particular favorite place to eat. It is much simpler to choose one favorite per genre. Because SMU is located in a posh and hip area, dining off campus can definitely become a bit pricey. Luckily, there are places like Snuffer's, Café Brazil, Chipotle, Chuy's, Campisi's, and several others to balance out the more expensive places. Many students have dined at the Mansion at least once (mainly with their parents or credit card), as well as Nick and Sam's, Three Forks, or Bob's Chop House (for excellent steak).
Dallas is known to have the best shopping in the country. Normally, if a city features superb shopping, it also showcases dining. Dallas happens to be the home of the best restaurants in the nation. Every type of food can be found here in the heart of Texas. Due to its location, Dallas features exquisite and authentic Mexican cuisine, as well as delicious Tex Mex. Most students eat Mexican at least once a week because of this phenomenon. The possibilities are endless. If there is any hesitation as to where to dine, it will be spurred by an overwhelming list of restaurants. It is easy to become accustomed to a certain taste and specific restaurant, but if you are ever feeling adventurous, Dallas is an immense city to explore.

U.S. Department of Transportation Office of Public Affairs Washington, DCwww.dot.gov/affairs/briefing.htm
FMCSA 1-00 Thursday, March 8, 2000 Contact: Dave Longo Tel.: (202) 366-5580
U.S. Transportation Secretary Rodney E. Slater today marked an historic moment in American transportation safety by formally inaugurating the new Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Secretary Slater called on the newest agency of the U.S. Department of Transportation to provide the leadership, direction and action necessary to continue to improve motor carrier safety, save lives and guide the nation to reduce by 50 percent truck- and bus-related fatalities by 2010.
"Safety is President Clinton's and Vice President Gore's highest transportation priority, and America is depending on this new agency to bring about a renewed will to reduce deaths in truck and bus crashes," Secretary Slater said. "This is a fresh start, and we will take bold and aggressive action to create change. We enthusiastically embrace this challenge."
On May 25, 1999, Secretary Slater announced a long-range goal of reducing fatalities associated with truck and bus crashes by 50 percent by 2010. There were 5,374 such fatalities in 1998, the latest year for which data is available.
Secretary Slater emphasized that the bipartisan leadership of President Clinton and Vice President Gore, and key authorizers -- U.S. Senators John McCain and Ernest F. Hollings, and U.S. Representatives Bud Shuster and James L. Oberstar -- was instrumental in achieving passage of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999, which created the FMCSA. He added that U.S. Representative Frank Wolf also helped focus attention on enhancing motor carrier safety. The Secretary extended his appreciation to the safety community, organized labor, law enforcement representatives, and the truck and bus industries for their vision in helping to shape the new oversight agency.
"This new agency, like the Federal Aviation Administration, will hold the assignment and maintenance of safety as its highest priority," said Representative Oberstar, Ranking Member on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and an original co-sponsor of the bill. "Every year, crashes involving large trucks kill more than 5,300 people and injure about 130,000. These numbers are unacceptable. Today we are taking a major step toward reducing them."
"The size and stature of the trucking industry justifies the creation of an agency with a clear, preeminent mission to focus on truck and bus safety and economic issues," said U.S. Representative Thomas E. Petri, Chairman of the House Ground Transportation Subcommittee.
Secretary Slater was joined at the inauguration event by members of Congress and senior officials representing many organizations.
"We are in the business of saving lives," said Acting Deputy FMCSA Administrator Julie Anna Cirillo. "All our efforts, our activities and our projects have been, and continue to be directed toward this end."
In addition to recognizing the new administration, the Secretary provided a copy of the new agency's organizational chart, an update on progress made toward achieving the stretch goals established in May 1999, and information on additional steps and actions that will be taken to improve motor carrier safety.
These steps include making improvements to the commercial driver's license program to more effectively identify problem drivers, taking remedial action and getting high-risk drivers off the road, ensuring the safety fitness of newly-formed motor carrier companies, levying strong sanctions on foreign carriers who operate illegally in the United States, denying entry to carriers who are not properly registered and imposing stiff penalties on violators including fines and, where warranted, shutdowns.
In addition, new FMCSA funding under the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act will provide resources to help states conduct more inspections of vehicles, drivers and carriers. Also funded will be a major study of causes of crashes as well as a new system for collecting crash data.

Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
William Gibson was born in the Bronx, New York City, on November 13, 1914. His father, a mailroom clerk and a talented amateur pianist, died during Gibson's childhood, and his Irish Catholic mother had to work as a scrubwoman to support the family. A Mass for the Dead (1968) is a heartfelt chronicle of Gibson's childhood and adolescence. Emulating his father, Gibson learned to play the piano as a child and in his early writing days worked as a piano teacher and as a performer to supplement his income. His lifelong interest in music is reflected in his work on the libretto for the operetta The Ruby (1955) and the text for the 1964 musical Golden Boy. By the time he was sixteen, Gibson had graduated from Townsend Harris Hall, a Manhattan public high school for gifted boys, and had begun work at what later became known as City College of the City University of New York. Gibson did not like college, however, and dropped out after two years.
In 1940, at twenty-six, Gibson married Margaret Brenman, a psychoanalyst, whose work with the Menninger Clinic had led them to Topeka, Kansas. At the Topeka Civic Theatre, Gibson had his first plays performed, a one-act verse drama about the Apostle Peter, I Lay in Zion (1943), Dinny and the Witches (1945), and A Cry of Players (1948). Dinny and the Witches was revised and produced Off-Broadway in 1959 but was panned by critics and closed after only twenty-nine performances. A Cry of Players was also produced in New York City at Lincoln Center in 1968 but enjoyed only moderate success.
In the 1940's, however, Gibson had not settled on being a playwright. He was also writing short stories and poems and won the Harriet Monroe Memorial Prize for a group of poems published in Poetry in 1945. He also published, through Oxford University Press, a collection of poems titled Winter Crook in 1948. Eventually, he wrote a novel, The Cobweb (1954), which he sold to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film studios, earning enough to buy a home in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where his wife had taken a new job.
In Massachusetts, Gibson turned...

Biography (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
William Gibson was born in New York on November 13, 1914, the son of lower-middle-class parents. The families of both parents were musical. Several of Gibson's maternal uncles belonged to the most famous banjo band of the early 1900's, and his mother's family operated a music school, where Gibson's mother had met his father, a talented popular pianist. Gibson himself mastered the piano and, in his late teens and early twenties, he tried to become a professional musician. This background explains his lifelong attraction to music, an interest reflected in his writing of pieces such as the libretto for the operetta The Ruby (which he wrote under the name of William Mass) and the text for the 1964 musical Golden Boy, a project that he finished for Clifford Odets, who died before it was completed.
Although Gibson was graduated at age sixteen from Townsend Harris Hall, a high school for academically talented boys that was affiliated with the City College of New York, he found college stultifying. He took his most rewarding classes at City College of New York from English professor Theodore Goodman, who encouraged his writing. After attending college sporadically for about two years, Gibson dropped out to educate himself, to become a musician, and to launch his writing career. During his years in college and immediately after, he became a Depression-era communist and lectured on street corners to support this cause.
In 1940, Gibson married Margaret Brenman, a psychoanalyst, whom he had followed first to her graduate school and then to her psychiatric positions in Topeka, Kansas (where they married), and later in Stockbridge, Massachusetts where he lived until his death in 2008. His first literary success came with the recognition he gained from his 1945 Harriet Monroe Memorial Prize. In 1954, he published a best-selling novel, The Cobweb, which he sold to Hollywood. The movie of the same name starred Lauren Bacall, Charles Boyer, and Richard Widmark and appeared in 1955 after Gibson helped rewrite the screenplay.
Gibson became interested in drama early in his career. After dropping out of college, he acted at the Barter Theatre in Abingdon, Virginia, where he wrote several unproduced plays. While in Topeka, Kansas, he...

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
The dramatist William Gibson, who is best known for writing The Miracle Worker, was born to lower middle-class parents. His mother's family were vaudevillians. His father worked for the post office and later in the mail room of a major bank. Both of Gibson's parents were musical. His mother played the mandolin and his father the piano. Gibson's father was a Protestant, but Gibson and his sister were brought up in the Roman Catholic religion of their mother, even though she was not able to take communion for thirty years, having been married in a civil ceremony. Gibson writes about his family, childhood, and early adulthood in A Mass for the Dead.
From 1930 to 1932, Gibson attended City College of New York, but he did not take a degree. He became a communist for a short time. Gibson sold his first writing, a short story, in the mid-1930's. After his first marriage ended in divorce, he married the psychiatrist Margaret Brenman in 1940; they had two sons. Until he was able to support himself through his writing, he taught music and literature, gave piano lessons, worked in community theaters, and sold an occasional story or poem.
Gibson first won recognition as a poet. In 1945, he won the Harriet Monroe Memorial Prize for a group of his poems. In 1950, he attended a playwrights' seminar held by Clifford Odets, whom Gibson later cited as a major influence. His novel The Cobweb, which is set in a psychiatric hospital, was a best-seller in 1954; he also wrote the screenplay for the film adaptation.
In 1958, Gibson had a...

Biography (Drama for Students)
William Gibson was born in the Bronx, New York, on November 13,1914, the son of George Irving, a bank clerk, and Florence (Dore) Gibson. Gibson spent his childhood in New York City and eventually attended the City College of New York, where he studied from 1930 until 1932. After graduation, Gibson moved to Kansas, supporting himself as a piano teacher while pursuing his interest in theatre. It was in Topeka, Kansas, that Gibson had his earliest plays produced. Most of these early works were light comedies; two of them were later revised and restaged: A Cry Of The Players and Dinny and the Witches, both in 1948. Shortly after his time in Kansas, Gibson met a psychoanalyst named Margaret Brenman; the two were married on September 6, 1940, and eventually had two sons, Thomas and David.
Gibson's first major critical and popular success in New York was Two for The Seesaw, which opened on Broadway in 1958. He was praised for the play's brisk dialogue and the compassion with which he endowed the characters. However, it is Gibson's second Broadway production, The Miracle Worker, for which he is best known.
Gibson first became fascinated with Anne Sullivan and her triumph as Helen Keller's teacher while reading the letters that Anne Sullivan wrote in 1887 describing her experiences in the Keller household. It was these letters and also Nella Brady's biography, Anne Sullivan Macy, that inspired Gibson to write about Anne Sullivan's accomplishments. Gibson first attempted to write The Miracle Worker as a solo dance piece but wrote it as a television play for the series Playhouse 90, which was produced by CBS. After The Miracle Worker was warmly received when it aired on CBS on February 7,1957, Gibson received offers to adapt it for stage and film. He decided to write it for the stage because he wished to have more artistic control over the production. Although it opened to mixed reviews, positive press and word-of-mouth led to The Miracle Worker's success on Broadway.
The Miracle Worker was adapted as a feature-length film starring Anne Bancroft as Annie and Patty Duke as Helen in 1962, and was again produced for television in 1979 with Patty Duke playing the role of Annie and Melissa Gilbert as Helen. After The Miracle Worker, Gibson continued to write for the theatre and became a member of the Dramatists Guild. However, after Golden Boy (1964), which was a musical adaptation of Clifford Odets's play of the same name, Gibson largely withdrew from the New York theatre scene. It was during this time in the 1960s and 1970s that he founded and became president of the Berkshire Theatre Festival in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Gibson did return to the New York stage, however, during the 1980s; The Monday after the Miracle, his sequel to The Miracle Worker opened on Broadway on December 14,1982, at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre. The Monday after The Miracle was a much darker piece than its predecessor and garnered poor reviews and attendance; it closed after a short run. The Miracle Worker continues to be Gibson's best known work and is the drama on which his reputation rests.
Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
William Ford Gibson was born on March 17, 1948, in Conway, South Carolina. His father was in construction and helped build the Oak Ridge, Tennessee, facilities where the first atomic bomb was built. In 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War, Gibson fled to Canada to avoid the draft. He attended the University of British Columbia, earning a bachelor's degree in English. Settling in Vancouver, Gibson began publishing science-fiction stories with "Fragments of a Hologram Rose" in 1977.
In 1984 Gibson's first novel, Neuromancer, a noir thriller about cyberspace and artificial intelligence, became an...

Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Science fiction is not so much a fantasy of the future as a heightened reflection of contemporary concerns. Gibson, understanding this, built a body of fiction which captures the most immediate fears and ambitions of cutting-edge technology in modern life.
While Gibson imagines horrific consequences of technology's abuse—especially by organizations whose size and influence allow them to abandon moral codes with ease—he also sees technology as a source of redemption and self-definition. It not only redefines a society in mechanical ways, Gibson claims, but it also creates new cultures (such as cyberspace) and reinterprets the body's relationship to human identity. In this way, technology is a means to discover...

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
William Ford Gibson was born on March 17, 1948, in Conway, South Carolina, to William Ford Gibson and Otey Williams. That he was born around the same time as the publication of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) is auspicious, given Gibson's contributions to utopic and dystopic literature. Gibson's father was a civilian contractor who helped build the Oak Ridge atomic bomb facility during World War II. After his father died in Gibson's early childhood, Gibson and his mother moved to Virginia, where he spent his youth until he attended boarding school in Arizona as a teenager. To avoid the draft for the Vietnam War, Gibson dropped out of high school in 1967 and left the United States at the age of nineteen....

Biography (Critical Survey of Long Fiction, Fourth Edition)
William Gibson was born in Conway, South Carolina, on March 17, 1948. He moved to a small town in Virginia at the age of eight following the death of his father. His mother died while he was in his teens. He was expelled from the boarding school in Tucson, Arizona, to which he had been sent for smoking marijuana. He went to Canada in 1968—to avoid the military draft, according to most sources (some sources allege that he had actually been rejected by the draft board). He subsequently traveled through Europe and the Near East, but moved to Vancouver, Canada, following his marriage to Deborah Thompson in 1972.
Thompson began studying for a master's degree at the University of British Columbia (UBC), inspiring Gibson...

William Gibson might be a postmodern renaissance man. First of all, he is known as the father of cyberpunk, and he is even credited with inventing the term cyberspace in 1982. Gibson wrote the wildly successful sci-fi book Neuromancer in 1984; it was the first novel to win the three most prestigious science fiction awards: The Nebula, The Philip K. Dick Award, and the Hugo. In addition to sci-fi books, Gibson has also collaborated on an alternate history novel, cowritten two episodes of the X-Files, guest starred in the miniseries Wild Palms, written lyrics for Yellow Magic Orchestra and Deborah Harry, and contributed to several magazines (Wired in particular). Gibson's work has also been brought to life on the big screen in the films Johnny Mnemonic and New Rose Hotel.Essential Facts
- Gibson ran away to Canada in the late 1960s to avoid the draft during the Vietnam War, but he was never actually drafted. He has remained in Canada since then, despite keeping his United States citizenship.
- Gibson has written several works that have been used as performance art pieces across the globe.
- The films Hackers and The Matrix were both inspired by Gibson's work. In fact, the computer that gets broken into in Hackers is called "the Gibson."
- The band U2 is featured on the audiobook of Neuromancer, and members of U2 also appear in the biographical documentary about Gibson called No Maps for These Territories.
- Despite writing futuristic cyber sci-fi, Gibson composed Neuromancer on a manual typewriter.
