There isn't much I haven't seen from that deer in the headlights new hire. The experiences have ranged from the idiotic (one week into the job: stealing golf clubs) to the dumb (three months into the job: charging lunch on a stolen corporate account at the nearby deli) to the outright disturbing (six months into the job: getting caught on video as the culprit wiping feces on the stalls in the men's bathroom).
All of these clowns not only failed miserably in bathing in my company's office culture, but took their stupidity to an extreme that was deserving of a pink slip.
I will go out on a limb and say you would never, ever pull any of these stunts, and that's a fine start. However, there are countless nuances to how an office operates that you are not aware of on day one. Believe me, breaking unwritten rules could place you into the same camp as the dope who played a feces throwing chimp…on the unemployment line.
Follow this guide so that the gig that took three interviews and 22 butt-kissing "thank you" emails to land is not lost inside of a couple months.
How to Learn the Office Ropes in Less Than 3 Months
Make an intern feel like he or she is on salary
Don't be a resume-loving snob and ignore the fresh-faced, eager intern that your employer has hired because interns are free and willing to produce mass quantities of work. Use interns to your advantage, veteran. Especially in the current economy, they're likely studying the actions of people to a tee so that they make the best impression in their short window of opportunity (ton of college debt to be paid off!). Buy them a coffee and a sandwich so that they feel as cool as you, and then take advantage of their eagerness by learning more about the office.
Track down a real office mentor
I don't want you buddying up to any old person in the office. Their wrinkles may suggest mentor status, but their time on the job and litany of disappointments have made them bitter and angry. You need a Mr. Miyagi-type mentor. Observe how their desks/cubicles are set up. You are in search of in-your-face family portraits (pro family, pro mentor skills) plus company-themed memorabilia that displays team spirit.
Go undercover
This is what it means to become an undercover operative, CIA style, at your own office:
1) Watch how people act in the office kitchen at breakfast (do they clean the toaster after using it?) and lunch (where are the cliques, and which ones do you want to join)
2) Be the smiley, sober person at happy hour. You will score more office dirt from wasted veteran coworkers.
3) Take advantage of the discounted gym membership and join a group. People are very vulnerable when the sweat is dripping.
4) Be a buddy to the team's weakest link. He or she has no friends in the office, and befriending them could unlock all sorts of office culture nuggets.
Want a head start? Here's your short list of must-follow unwritten office rules.
Office Culture 101 for the Newly Employed
- Don't assume there are no cameras in strategic locations such as the supply room or kitchen. The tech department people are employees, and if you get caught on candid camera doing something dumb, word will spread.
- Treat the office kitchen as if it was your own. Clean up after yourself!
- It's 2012. The iPhone is on its fourth generation. Assume emails are read and answered on the weekend.
- Find out tasks coworkers are doing that aren't in their job description. They take pride in being overachievers, so don't step on their toes—for now.
- Is Friday Funday in full effect? If so, don't be a jerk and rock a suit and tie anyway. It'll show up your coworkers and impress nobody.
- Analyze an email chain to uncover mobile workers and their responsibilities. They may be mobile, but could have friends at the office.
- Assume there is no lunch break. Let an office veteran ask you to join their table.
- Does the company monitor personal calls?
- Who is the strongest person on the team who has your boss' ear? You don't want to challenge them in meetings…for now.

Internet Appliances with a Twist
Adomo (http://www.adomo.com) wants to fill your home with a network of low-cost, easy-to-use information appliances. Best of all, they'll each have Linux inside.
Adomo's plans are to transcend the boundaries of the PC revolution, making home information appliances as easy to use—and ubiquitous—as microwave ovens. To accomplish this, they chose to redefine the very nature of home information systems. They started out by asking, "What do family members really want?"
A "Back to the Future" architecture.
That quest led to a product architecture that runs counter, in many ways, to the current PC paradigm. Contrary to the popular notion of intelligent interconnected appliances as the wave of the future, Adomo's architecture is a lot like the "pre-PC" multi-user computers and dumb terminals of 25 years ago—but with some important differences.
Adomo's solution creates a home network that consists of two types of devices: a highly intelligent central device (the "server") which provides computing, information storage and Internet access resources; and multiple wirelessly linked user-interface devices ("clients") distributed throughout the home.
But there's an important twist: although the user-interface devices function like intelligent information appliances, they don't actually run any application software internally. They just pass data back and forth to the central server.
This approach can work—since today's high speed networks can provide near-instantaneous access to massive amounts of computing power and vast quantities of data. In other words, as Sun puts it, "the computer is the network". That being the case, the distinction between server and client becomes moot!
This way, the CPU within the appliance needn't be capable of running sophisticated programs. Its main purpose is managing input/output functions, which are mostly user-interface-related. Each appliance runs just one program: a reduced-footprint version of the X Window System. All the application programs run on the central server. Only display output (graphics, sound) and user input (keyboard, mouse, sound) travel back and forth between the server and the appliances.
By restricting their function to input/output only, Adomo's extremely "thin" information appliances become simplified to the point where they are mere interface terminals rather than computers (even though they do contain microprocessors). This has some interesting consequences.
One is that changes in context—between family members, or between OFF and ON—are nearly instantaneous. Since the appliance is just an interface to software running on the server, all appliances can be used interchangeably. Just sign on, and pick up where you left off. No need to wait around while the OS inside the user interface of a refrigerator or microwave logs out one user, and prepares itself for access by another.
Another big advantage of extremely thin appliances is that they're smaller and cost less. Also, they generate less heat, and run longer on a battery charge.
An interesting side effect is that because the appliances don't contain their own application software, there is hardly anything to go wrong from a software perspective. All they need to do is be able to load their operating software from the server, across the wireless LAN. That, plus their accompanying electronic simplicity, means the appliances are likely to be completely free from the headaches of maintenance and administration—or at least that's the plan.
Even system administration is simplified, since all software for operating the entire home system is concentrated on the server, a Linux system. That should make remote maintenance and support a snap.
Of course, for the Adomo client/server scheme to work, the server had better be powerful enough to handle the activities of all the client devices located throughout the home. Also, the wireless LAN needs to have sufficient bandwidth to carry all the associated data transfers. Adomo claims the performance of their server will support the simultaneous activities of up to eight "typical" family members.
Does that include teenagers playing the latest video games? Probably not. For that reason, Adomo also lets you use one or more normal PCs on the network. In that case, the Adomo server provides connectivity, application sharing, file storage and backup for all devices—both PC or non-PC.
The Adomo server is functionally similar to a high-end PC running Linux. But, as you can see from the photo (see Figure 1), it looks more like an appliance (possibly an air conditioner) than a PC.
Inside, there's a custom motherboard based on an AMD mobile K6 processor. Adomo's engineers took advantage of laptop-like components in designing the server, to reduce power consumption and heat dissipation. This lessens the need for noisy fans, and should boost system reliability.
The server is a multi-tasking, multi-user computer system that provides a variety of shared resources and managerial functions, including those of Internet gateway, firewall, e-mail, file storage and system backup. And don't forget: all application programs for all client devices run on the server, not on the devices.
Although the server isn't promoted as such, you can add a monitor and keyboard and use it as an additional desktop system. In that case, it will run all the same application programs available to the client devices.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Filmmaker: Mahmoud Kaabour
Old age and a sense of life's ending cannot dampen the spirits of a feisty Beirut matriarch in this magical film about family, love and aging.Fatima or Teta (grandmother) Kaabour is an 83-year-old family matriarch and sharp-witted queen bee of an old Beiruti quarter. She has been gripped as of late by the silence of her once-buzzing household where she raised children and grandchildren. Resigned to argileh smoking and day-long coffee drinking on a now empty balcony, Teta invokes the deepest memories of her violinist husband who died 20 years ago. She claims a preparedness to re-unite with him.Filmmaker Mahmoud Kaabour, Teta's favourite grandson and the bearer of his grandfather's full name, has also been preoccupied for years with the memory of his grandfather. Prior to his death, the violinist had audio taped heart-wrenching violin improvisations in the privacy of his room in that same flat.The filmmaker's anguish is compounded at the thought that this personal and cultural heritage, as well as his grandma's own stories, rare recipes and naughty humour, will go with her when she parts this life.This award-winning film brings together grandfather, grandmother and grandson in a documentary that aims to defy a past death and a future one. It documents with great intimacy the larger-than-life character of Teta Kaabour, her telling of the trials of her violinist husband and his Beirut, as well as her imaginings of what awaits her beyond death.
Does Teta Fatima have any regrets?
Illiteracy is among the few regrets that a tough woman like grandma would admit to, other than grandpa's death of course.As she approaches her ninth decade, that dull sense of sorrow over her loss has been interestingly transforming into a yearning, almost like a teen passion getting rekindled. While Teta reminisces about her deceased violinist and re-tells his stories in the film, she sometimes addresses him passionately in the future tense, implying a conviction that she will re-unite with him in death. It is poignant and heart-wrenching at the same time, especially for her adoring family who wish her a long life.
What significant changes has she witnessed in her neighbourhood over the years?
Over the past 40 years, grandma has witnessed the rupture of the extended family unit in Beirut. The Lebanese civil war and globalisation in a broad sense pushed the sons and daughters of all her neighbours to seek better lives in other countries.My parents were among those who left; that is how my sisters and I were raised in Dubai with a deep sense of longing for Beirut. Grandma's neighbourhood, which boasted bustling households of multiple generations, has now become a place where the elderly wallow in loneliness.
But with that came unique social bonds. Those aging grandparents watched over each other and bonded from balconies where they resigned themselves to senility and reduced mobility. I am often amused by how grandma can name the families of every apartment visible from her favourite spot on her balcony. After stating the family name, she usually recounts the name of the sons and daughters, their own children and what country they migrated to and when.
How does the family remember the civil war?
The civil war translated into a delightful captivity in her house for us, her grandchildren. We often hid there when schools in Beirut shut down. She cooked for everybody, put little ones to sleep, and meshed every child's upbringing with her raw humour. That is how her house became a significant place which everyone gravitated to after years of living abroad. My cousins and I are often referring to her place rather than our parents' when we say "home".
What are your fondest memories of growing up with Teta?
The street life around her flat and our relation to it still lives with me. Growing up in Hamad neighbourhood in the 1980s, one had to interact with a buzzing pedestrian atmosphere that was tense due to scarce resources. I picked up haggling at a young age as I was entrusted with buying produce from the street vendors. I also remember clouds of flour and loud chatter at bakeries where I had to line up and buy bread for family whenever there was a ceasefire.The many alleys that connected my parent's home to grandma's are my favourite perhaps. When I migrated to Canada for seven years, I tried to walk a different alley to her house in my mind as I tried to sleep each night. By year seven, I could no longer remember the shops that stood at a certain turn. That was part of why I packed up and left Canada.
What is the most vivid memory you have of your grandparents?
The smell of orange peel. Grandma used to sit on her Ajami rugs and sit her grandchildren around her in winter. She used to peel oranges and feed each of us as it poured outside. That's childhood in a snapshot for me.
Are there any plans to publish your Grandpa Mahmoud's violin impressions?
"The Music of Mahmoud Kaabour Al-Rasheedi as featured in Grandma, a Thousand Times" was released last year. The seven improvisations that haunted me for years and were the impetus for this film are now available on iTunes, Amazon and in stores in Lebanon and the UAE. It feels like a load off my shoulders and an invitation for new obsessions.

Zülfü Livaneli, the Turkish writer, musician, singer, journalist and member of parliament, recently toured China to promote the launch of the mainland Chinese translation of his popular novel, Bliss (Mutluluk), or 伊斯坦布尔的幸福.
Now a movie as well, Bliss is a melodramatic tale of a young village woman who is raped by an elder relative. When she doesn't hang herself out of shame, as is expected, the task of restoring honor to the family (by ending her life) is assigned to another male relative. The novel takes us from Van in the southeast to Istanbul, touching on most every controversial aspect of "Turkishness," from honor killing to the Asia-Europe divide represented by schizophrenic Istanbul, and the guerrilla war waged by the Kurds against the Turkish state.
But how many Chinese readers will notice that this quintessentially Turkish novel has been translated from the . . . English?
Not many, I'd wager. The spine of the book features "Turkey" in brackets above the author's name, implying that the book and its author originated in that country, and cites the translator (贾文浩). The credits page gives the same information without identifying the source language. It should be noted that this is standard procedure in the People's Republic. Thus the only reference to the fact that this Chinese edition is a translation of the English translation is in the last line of the translator's Foreword.
I interviewed Shen Zhixing (沈志兴), the Chinese translator of Orhan Pamuk's My Name is Red, several years ago. He studied in Ankara in the 1980s and worked from the Turkish. The earlier Taiwan edition of the book was based on the American, and Pamuk—apparently very displeased with this approach—insisted that Shen translate from the Turkish original.
Shen told me that in his estimation, "only a dozen or so" translators in China had the background in Turkish and literary Chinese to translate a Turkish novel into Mandarin. In a country which has over ten million speakers of Turkic languages living in Xinjiang alone, that's a bit odd.
But there are several obvious reasons why China lacks Turkish translators. One is that many native speakers of related languages like Uighur have poor Chinese skills, and most Uighurs would find getting a passport valid for study in Turkey—seen as a haven for pro-splittest groups—next to impossible.
The other reason is a bit more worrisome: the intense focus on Chinese-English translation that leads Chinese students and scholars to ignore the study of what are referred to as "minor languages" (小语种). Turkic languages, spoken from Turkey through Central Asia to Xinjiang, count at least 100 million speakers; hardly minor, one might think. But outside of several West European languages, Russian and Japanese, in reality China has precious few high-quality translators, particularly for African and Middle Eastern languages. Several currently popular Israeli novels in China were translated from the English, not Hebrew, for example.
3 Responses to "Turkish Novels, Honor Killing and China's English-language Complex"
Vladimir Menkov Says:
May 27th, 2011 at 03:31With Polish, on the other hand, the situation apparently is not as bad as with Hebrew or other "minor" languages. At least one of Edward Kajdański's books about Michael Boym was translated to Chinese directly from Polish, by Zhang Zhenhui(张振辉), as part of a series where most interesting Western books about early Sino-European contacts are translated and published in China.
Poles appreciate the fact that Polish is studied by some people in China (mostly at the Polish Language Faculty of the Beijing Foreign Languages University), and they actually invited four prominent translators from Polish into Chinese – Professors Yi Lijun, Lin Hongliang, Zhang Zhenhui and Yuan Hanrong – to the first World Congress of Translators of Polish Literature (Krakow, 2005).
(And on the other side of the language barrier, Kajdański himself was probably one of the few modern Polish authors capable to work directly with Chinese sources. He was born in Harbin and later served as a Polish diplomat in China, so I assume he was fluent in Chinese.)
Bathrobe Says:
November 22nd, 2012 at 06:19The problem isn't confined to 'obscure' foreign languages. I once did a rough study to determine which of the many Chinese translations of The Little Prince (Saint-Exupery) were from French and which were via English. I found that roughly half were from English. (Moreover, the Inner Mongolian translation into Mongolian appears to be from Chinese, possibly based on a translation or translations from the English).
Bathrobe Says:
February 26th, 2013 at 18:51Another one:
Nabokov's 'Lolita' has two originals. One is in English, the other is in Russian. Both are by Nabokov himself.
The [Outer] Mongolian translation of Nabokov's 'Lolita' is from Russian. The Chinese one is from the English.

Volunteer of the Month for November- Katie Fennel
The time I spent volunteering in Cusco, Peru with Global Aware is something that shall forever be engrained in my memory as an unbelievably beautiful and eye opening experience. I was given the chance to understand a culture so very different from my own. I arrived at the Cusco airport slightly hesitant as I suddenly realized I had arrived in a country where I knew no one, nor spoke the language, but my worries quickly diminished as soon as I met Rocio at the Albergue. She greeted me with warmth and friendliness.
Globe Aware coordinates, organizes and leads volunteer vacations, service vacations, working holidays and service trips.
Volunteer vacations are called many things, you may see terms which generally mean the same thing, depending on the organization which uses the term, such as voluntourism, service vacations, international volunteering, volunteer travel, working vacations, gap year travel, volunteer travel, volunteering abroad.
Globe Aware volunteer vacation destinations are around the world, including to two Peru locations (Andes & Cusco/Machu Picchu), Costa Rica, Thailand, Cuba, Nepal, Brazil, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, India, Jamaica, Romania, Ghana, Mexico, and China. -
Globe Aware focuses on short term, one week volunteer vacations. These are specially formatted for working people with limited vacation time who want to volunteer abroad.
Volunteers help to empower the host communities in creating renewable, sustainable programs. While Globe Aware's financial assistance benefits the community economically, it is actually the involvement and collaboration between the volunteers and community that is the greatest mutual benefit. Globe Aware is not a foundation that focuses on giving out charity, but rather an organization which focuses on creating self reliance.Globe Aware Volunteer Vacations - Signup Now
Globe Aware is a public charity, a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt corporation under the U.S. Internal Revenue Service; it is not a private foundation. Not only is your entire minimum contribution fee tax-deductible (to U.S. tax payers), but all other expenses related to your Globe Aware volunteer work are also tax-deductible (such as your airfare, trip cancellation insurance, and other such expenses). These expenses are tax deductible because as a volunteer you are doing the work of Globe Aware.
Please see the relevant IRS publication for more details.

Globe Aware trips are professionally planned and lead. You do not need special skills or the ability to speak a foreign language. Globe Aware employees lay the ground work prior to your arrival; accompany you during your volunteer vacation, and assist with transfers and departures.
Every activity in which we engage is intended to accomplish one of two things: promote cultural awareness and/or promote sustainability. For us the concept of cultural awareness means to recognize and appreciate the real beauties and real challenges of a culture, but not to change it. The concept of sustainability is to help others stand on their own two feet; to teach skills rather than reliance.

Please join Bing Fischer this Sunday 5-7pm cst on our radio show "American By Design" as we talk to Rep. Joe Carr (R-TN) who will give us an update on his Senate bid against embattled incumbent and RINO Lamar Alexander! We also will talk with Stephen Krason, author of the book "The Transformation of the American Democratic Republic". This stimulating volume considers whether the Founding Fathers' vision of the American democratic republic has been transformed and if so, in what ways. Krason looks to the basic principles of the Founding Fathers, then discusses changes that resulted from evolving contemporary attitudes about and approaches to government. He considers how contemporary law and public policy might be reshaped in accordance with the religious principles and cultural norms of the eighteenth century and earlier. Krason's exploration of the possibilities of restoration is fashioned with reference to philosophical principles and the thought of great Western political thinkers. He offers a variety of modest proposals that could begin to forge a foundation for restoration. His analysis proceeds with full awareness that the American political order grew out of a heritage rather than being invented. An intense book for sure and well documented! So please share and tweet this show as you wont want to miss it!

Google Maps Smooth Zooming
A somewhat buggy implementation of smooth zooming has been buried in the Google Map js for sometime. I've poked around with this a bit and found that after the smooth zoom action completed, the map would jump back to its previous zoom level – quite worthless. Rather than attempt to fix the code, I just sat on my hands waiting for Google to do it. Well, it seems they have pulled it off in maps2.58.api.js. Check out the double click zoom and smooth zoom with the new API calls at http://www.propertymaps.com/maps/zoom.php. This only seems to work on a PC /IE and PC/FF at the moment (GRR).
I've noticed that the pushpins don't take to zooming too well and if you leave an info window open during zoom, it doesn't rejoin its pushpin correctly. Maybe this is just a problem with my implementation of custom infowindows.

Robiola di Capra in Foglie di Castagna - each - 12oz
Country of Origin: Italy
Region: Piedmont
Type of Milk: Goat
Cheese Style: Mold-ripened
Flavor Profile: Medium-strong
A pure goat's milk robiola from Piedmont wrapped and aged in chestnut leaves. When young, the cheese has a thick cakey texture similar to a young chevre, but with a beautiful density of flavor. As it ages, the cheese starts to mellow and through contact with the leaves, it develops an earthy strength in its aroma and flavor. This is one of our favorite party cheeses as the leaves can be opened up and used as a natural frame for the cheese.

NORFOLK, Neb. — In a sunlit hospital room the size of a school classroom, a handful of people sat quietly in tan recliners, covered with blankets and hooked up to IV bags.
The drugs coursing into their veins are powerful cancer killers.
They save lives, but they make food taste like a bitter penny, cause hair to fall out in handfuls and render some women unable to naturally bear children.
As Mike Flood walked into that room in January with his wife, Mandi, for her first chemotherapy treatment at their hometown hospital, their tears began to flow and reality took hold.
He looked around. His 36-year-old wife was a good 40 years younger than anyone else there. Suddenly it struck him: She's really sick.
"How did we get in this place?" he wondered.
The shock and fear triggered by a first visit to the chemotherapy suite is not unusual for those facing cancer treatment.
But Mandi Flood's case is an unusually public one. Her husband, a popular speaker of the Nebraska Legislature, had launched his campaign to run as a Republican candidate for governor the month before her diagnosis.
Mandi Flood introduced him at his November announcement, enthusiastically grabbing a microphone and telling an overflow crowd that her husband was a good man who deserved their votes.
Now Mike Flood was out of the race, abandoning it quickly after learning his wife's diagnosis. Instead of a political battle, the couple were standing at the threshold of a life-altering fight with cancer.
"There was this unknown. What's this going to be like?" Mandi Flood said. "You know you have to get started. But it's hard."
The part-time schoolteacher and mother of two spirited boys was diagnosed in December with a fast-growing form of breast cancer.
She wasn't, of course, the first to face the daunting diagnosis. It is estimated that one out of eight women nationally will get breast cancer, and 180,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. The rate of breast cancer is even higher in Nebraska, which ranks among the top 10 states in the incidence of breast cancer.
Mandi Flood's very public case has prompted an outpouring of support for the couple and their sons, Brenden, 6, and Blake, 3.
While breast cancer typically attacks older women, cases are increasing among women younger than 40.
To open a window into how a young couple deals with cancer, The World-Herald asked the Floods to share their story. It's a story of tears, hope, support from a legion of friends and strangers, and the forging of bonds through a shared struggle.
The Floods are far from alone.
To illustrate, Dr. Ken Cowan, head of the Eppley Cancer Institute at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, performs a drill annually at the Cattlemen's Ball, a fundraiser for the cancer center held in a big-top tent on the pastures of a host ranch.
He asks those in the crowd who have had cancer to stand up. Then those who have had a spouse or child with cancer. Then those who have been touched in any way. By then, everyone is standing — all 4,000.
"Cancer touches everyone," Cowan said. "One out of two Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes. There's no family who hasn't been touched by this."
But only 5 percent of new breast cancer cases occur in women younger than 40, according to the American Cancer Society. It's a number so low that yearly mammograms are not recommended.
Breast cancer rates for younger women are rising, though, while numbers have remained steady among other age groups.
It's a puzzling trend, said Cowan, who has treated patients as young as 21. Breast cancer is harder to detect and spreads more rapidly in younger women, making it more dangerous.
Younger families also face different challenges: They aren't as established in life, may have young kids to raise and may not be as financially secure.
"All of a sudden, things get complicated. You have this big blip on the future," said Peggy Jarrell, a certified oncology social worker at Omaha Methodist Hospital's Estabrook Cancer Center. "Your mortality hits you in the face. ... When you're 20 or 30 or 40, it's something that maybe you've never thought of."
Mike and Mandi Flood were living their dreams last fall.
Mike, who owns two radio stations in Norfolk and had served eight years in the Legislature, had thrown himself "1,000 percent" into his run for governor. He was traveling 300 miles a week, visiting communities across the state, asking for votes, telling people what he would do if elected.
"People were responding to him," Mandi said. "He was at the top of his game. He's good at it."
Mandi had also realized a longtime dream: a new house. The couple, married for nine years, had just moved in. The brick home sits atop a tall bluff and has a commanding view of Norfolk, a northeast Nebraska community of 24,000 that's fueled by farming and a huge steel mill.
The Floods are widely known: he as a community leader, she as a local teacher.
Mandi found her cancer fairly early. In October, she felt a small lump in her breast but didn't think much about it. Then, a day after her husband's campaign announcement, she felt it again. A pea-size lump. Strange.
Mike Flood admits to being something of a hypochondriac. As a child, he had seen his mother survive two bouts with breast cancer. He remembers her violent illness after treatments and the days when she couldn't get out of bed.
So he immediately called a friend who is a doctor. Eight out of 10 times, the doctor told them, such lumps are harmless fibroid cysts. Two weeks later, on Nov. 30, the lump was surgically removed.
"I really thought we were done," Mike Flood said. "The surgeon even said, 'It looks like a cyst.'"
For a breast cancer patient, the three most trying days are when you are diagnosed, when you first see the chemotherapy suite and when you lose your hair.
Mike Flood remembers that first hurdle well. He was driving back from the state capital and was already north of Seward, on Highway 15. He called Mandi's surgeon.
"Hey, is my patient going to live?" Flood joked.
"She's going to live," the doctor replied, "but it's cancer."
Tears flowed that night in the house on the bluff. Mandi held her boys tightly. It was "the worst of the worst," Mike Flood said.
He knew Mandi couldn't do this alone. She had stage 2B breast cancer, and it had spread to one lymph node, which was enlarged. Not the worst, at stage 4, but not the best.
After announcing the end of Mike's run for governor, the family took a hastily arranged trip to Disney World. The Floods hadn't had a family vacation in a long time, and the need to get away was strong.
As they walked through the airport terminal to board their flight to Orlando, Fla., Mike Flood glanced at the front-page World-Herald story about his exodus from the race. The article noted that the five-year survival rate for women like his wife — diagnosed with breast cancer before age 40 — was 84 percent.
"Eighty-four percent," he thought soberly. "That seems low."
The trip was a blur. Mandi couldn't stop thinking about the lump.
A week earlier she was taking spinning classes at the YMCA and could wrangle two rambunctious boys and an ambitious husband; now she was bracing for weeks of chemo, more surgery, maybe radiation.
While Mandi napped with the boys at Disney World, Mike sneaked phone calls to friends who had experienced cancer. What's ahead? What can I expect?
After they returned home, they consulted with Dr. Cowan, who had been recommended by a friend and whom they'd met at a Cattlemen's Ball. His specialty is breast cancer.
He told them that treatments for breast cancer have improved, and so have survival rates. There are 12�million cancer survivors in America. Because Mandi is young, the cancer is more aggressive, but it can be beat.
Mandi said she could see the doctor's lips moving but didn't hear the words.
Said Cowan: "It's kind of like stepping into a roller coaster for the first time and not knowing what you're in for."
Mandi decided to undergo chemotherapy before having surgery. She would receive the treatments in Norfolk, at the Carson Cancer Center, funded by Johnny Carson, the late talk show host who grew up in Norfolk.
She decided to start chemo after Christmas and take treatments every other week, so she would have more time when she was feeling well, for her boys.
She's at the chemo ward for half-day stays every other Wednesday. Two days later, she's hit hard. The treatments, she said, leave her feeling drained and also achy, as if she has the flu.
By the following Monday or Tuesday, she's OK again.
"Your whole world revolves around chemo and non-chemo weeks," Mandi said. "But I'm not clinging to the toilet. It's not so bad."
Donations of meals and pizza gift cards arrived from friends, neighbors, fellow teachers and "the Legislative Ladies," a group of legislators' spouses. State Sens. Chris Langemeier and Beau McCoy delivered a bigger freezer to store all the food.
Cards, letters, emails and texts poured in from people they knew and didn't know.
The Floods devised a routine to deal with the chemo treatments, which will stretch into April.
Mike's parents take the boys for a couple of days after the treatments.
Brenden gets more visits with friends. Mandi's parents also help. And Mike, who used to juggle two or three jobs at a time (radio station owner, lawyer, state senator, political candidate), got more involved at home.
The boys now sometimes ask for him in the middle of the night instead of mommy. He's driving them to dance class and wrestling practices. When Mandi needs to lie down and rest, he and the boys head out.
"We go bowling," he said. "A lot."
Mike said he hit bottom when he had to cut off his wife's hair.
Mandi knew she was going to lose her brown hair because of the chemotherapy and had bought a wig early on, during a shopping trip to Omaha with girlfriends.
The plan was to have her sister cut off her hair when the time came. But after she emerged from the shower in early January, her hair filled a comb.
They decided they couldn't wait. Mike used scissors, then a three-blade razor, then a two-blade razor, then a single-blade razor.
"It is bad," Mandi Flood said. "But it's a relief. It's another step."
They told the boys that mommy was going to "take some medicine" and lose her hair but that it would "kill the cancer."
Six-year-old Brenden smiled when he first saw his bald mommy. Toddler Blake said she looked like Brenden, who has a crew cut.
Mandi said that her older son has some understanding of what she's going through. Blake, at 3, not as much.
"Brenden had a stomachache the other day and threw up," she said.
He told her: "Mommy, now I know what it's like to have cancer."
A tremendous bond forms when you go through chemotherapy.
The Floods said friends, family, nurses, doctors and strangers have helped them through their battle with cancer.
Mandi Flood, who didn't have much history of cancer in her family, said she was shocked at how many people have dealt with the disease. One friend, a teacher, just had her first chemo treatment. Another just had her last.
Friends have come to sit with Mandi and Mike during her treatments.
Now Mandi is making those trips, helping others through the anxious hours.
She took two bottles of sparkling grape juice to the chemo ward one day to "toast" the end of treatments for a former teaching colleague, Lorri Porn of Norfolk.
Mandi shot a video of her friend ringing a bell at the cancer center, signaling she'd just had her last dose of chemo.
"You are almost in a sisterhood," said Porn. "You just have so many of the same shared feelings and questions, knowing what a person is going to experience."
Porn said she barely knew Mandi before they met at the cancer center. Now they get together on Mandi's chemo weeks, on the day after Mandi's treatments, when the kids are gone.
They go out to eat and they talk about everything: what foods might taste good despite the women's metallic taste buds; how many treatments are left.
Mandi Flood said several of her friends have undergone breast cancer tests because of her case. If something good is coming of her illness, that's it, she said.
The Floods said they have been overwhelmed by the emails, texts and Facebook messages of encouragement.
"You don't know how strong you can be until your only choice is to be strong," one says.
"Praying for you," says another.
Mandi says it's now her turn. She is sending the same messages to others undergoing treatment.
She's counseling and consoling new cancer patients. Telling them about the hot flashes — a side effect. Sharing her story.
"There are so many people who have gone through this," she said, wiping away tears. "You just feel a need to help them through it, to pass it on."
The Floods received good news two weeks ago: The first four chemo treatments were working. The enlarged lymph node had shrunk and was back to normal.
"I'm through five of eight," Mandi said of her chemo treatments.
She's looking forward to ringing that bell at the cancer center.
She has decided to have a double mastectomy May 2, after the chemo treatments end.
She could have chosen less radical surgery.
"I want to do everything I can so I don't have to do this again," Mandi said.
After the surgery, a biopsy will tell the Floods if the chemo and surgery got all the cancer.
The good news has lit up the political rumor mill with conjecture that Flood will get back into the 2014 governor's race.
"I don't even want to go there," the 38-year-old said last week.
Time will tell, Mandi said.
"Maybe there is a little hope, and we can start again," she said. "Everything happens for a reason."
But on this afternoon there are other things to focus on. Blake is fussy and won't take a nap.
"It's Blake one and mommy zero," said Mandi, who was looking forward to some quiet time to catch up with Facebook messages.
The boys, she said, bring her back to reality. There's this horrible disease to fight, but life moves on, and you just have to keep going.
She's already marking down the landmarks.
Last chemo treatment: April 12.
Surgery: May 2.
Two weeks to recover.
Four to five months before her hair grows back.
What will her first meal be when her taste buds return? Lobster.
"It's morning again in America," said Mike Flood, quoting one of his political heroes, Ronald Reagan.
There's no guarantee the cancer won't come back.
But the doctors tell the Floods that Mandi should live into her 90s.
"In my mind, I've done everything," she said. "By June, we'd like to look back and say 'It was bad, but it's over.'"

As a Chinese citizen who went missing last year and was deprived of the right to a lawyer, I think the U.S. attacking Chinese human rights is messed up. It's really "a poor performance". I believe with all my heart what the officials say; the human rights condition in China is five times better than in the U.S.
U.S. State Department's spokeperson Victoria Nuland's statement about Chen Guangcheng: "Today the Chinese government said that Chen Guangcheng enjoys the same right to travel abroad as any other citizens of China. An American university has offered Mr. Chen a fellowship and he can be accompanied by his wife and two children". Ai Weiwei, Lu Qing, Liu Xiaoyuan, Mo Da etc. don't have this right.
If we haven't heard anything in 24 hours, I'll go look for her. RT //liu_xiaoyuan: I just called Liu Yanping's phone which was turned off. I remember when I was summoned to Panjiayuan police station last year, [I think] the police forgot to demand that I turn off my phone. I was able to send a lot of messages and tweets. //aiww Why don't you go and look for her?
Lovable Liu RT //dishikun This...Liu lawyer is very naïve... RT //liu_xiaoyuan Pearl helped Chen Guangcheng to escape illegal house arrest, the behaviour of one standing up bravely for a just cause. I could never have imagined that the police, rather than commending her heroic act, instead arrested her. Could it be that the police do not have a sense of right or wrong, or the rule of law? I really don't know what reason the police could have for seizing Pearl.
Liu Xiaoyuan: In two days it's the 14th of April. That's the anniversary of the day I also went missing. This case didn't just violate my personal freedom, it also put my family in distress and had a serious impact on my lawyer practice. Now the annual lawyer inspection for 2012 has started, but our 2011 inspection is still in the pipeline.
Within 100 meters of our door, there are 13 video cameras with various functions all facing 258 Caochangdi. Liu Xiaoyuan has seen them too.
Don't know why Liu Xiaoyuan leaving the country would endanger national safety, what we know is that the nation is getting less and less safe.
I took Liu Xiaoyuan back, sigh, blame his name for resembling Super Liu too much.

Out of the parkBucharest Grill | |
Phone: | 313-965-3111 |
Address: | 2040 Park Ave. Detroit, MI 48226 |
More on Bucharest Grill. |
Published 3/24/2010
Like blossoms in the wasteland, Park Bar and Bucharest Grill, and their next door neighbor, Cliff Bell's, are bringing dining and entertainment traffic back to the section of Park Avenue near Grand Circus Park. But more than a just a beacon of hope in a downtown historic district that badly needs more redevelopment, Park Bar and Bucharest Grill simply make a fine place to grab a glass of draft Michigan beer and eat pork.
The minimal and inexpensive menu is a loose blend of Eastern European and Middle Eastern, with an emphasis on ground pork dishes. In fact, more than half of the menu items contain ground pork in some form or another. It's not exactly the lightest fare in town, but if you're looking to set a substantial base to pour drinks over or fill your belly before a game, it will do quite well.
For starters, dip your pita into an eggplant dip garnished with fresh tomato and onion or a bowl of hummus. Get cheese breaded and fried or stuffed into a pastry crust. Ground pork shows up in the form of skinless sausage or packed into four fat and moist grape leaf rolls glistening with a tomato-based sauce and resting alongside a liberal dollop of sour cream. Bean and chicken are the two soup choices.
For $7.75, you can get about 12 inches of house-specialty charred and pepper-spiced Romanian sausage with a side of refreshing cabbage salad in a mild vinegar dressing. Though not particularly groundbreaking, the sausage dish is notable for being served atop a mound of enough curly fries to satiate a defensive lineman, of which one or two are rumored to actually show up and play for the Lions this year.
Other house specialties include stuffed green peppers that look to be a larger version of the grape leaves. Grilled and marinated pork steak and pan-fried chicken schnitzel are served beside fries and a small salad.
If you're looking to go meatless, only one of four salads, the house salad, will work. There is a salad topped with ground pork meatballs and a hefty potato salad full of pickles, carrots and diced chicken. With its green pepper, tomato, cucumber and pita chips, the chicken shawarma salad might as well be called a fattoush.
For a little more than $4, order chicken, beef or vegetarian shawarma wrapped in a pita. A few cents more buy you the enormous Bucharest shawarma, swollen with chicken, cabbage, pickles, tomato and fries, dripping with a delicious garlic sauce. It's a triple-napkin wrap. Bring a pocketful of breath mints if you're club-hopping afterward. An extra $2 gets you that mound of fries.
One section of the menu is dedicated to "gourmet dogs." It's Bucharest Grill's exploration of sausage culture, ranging from the local Detroiter, a knockwurst with coney chili sauce, grilled onions and cheese, to the Berliner, a bratwurst covered in sauerkraut, onions and your choice of mild or spicy mustard. The Hamtramck is kielbasa with bacon and red cabbage. The Chicago comes with the requisite relish, dill pickle, tomato, sport pepper and celery salt. (We'll overlook the lack of poppy-seed bun.)
Then there is the ground pork patty sandwich served open-faced over a fried egg and Muenster cheese. (That ought to soak up some booze.) The sliders also seem to have some proportion of ground pork in them. Texturally, they feel like a breakfast biscuit sandwich but the taste is all-slider. House-made crêpes with chocolate or strawberry filling and an apple pastry finish the menu.
Though occupying its own small space under a neon sign, Bucharest Grill is integrated into the Park Bar. If you're not getting carry-out or the limited delivery service they offer, the bartender will take your order and deliver it next to your drink. With more than 20 taps, a good portion of which are Michigan brews, and a mellow vibe, it's a nice place to relax and take a meal.
Surrounding the circular bar, which is well-stocked with standard liquor, are unique tables and booths of padded wood. Built by local artisans, most of the fixtures are distinct. A few plants grow around the far edges. The soundtrack swings between hard and soft but is never annoying. There's even a touch of crunchy earth-hugger in the men's room where a flushless urinal with a painted-on housefly target hangs on the wall. Tall windows look out upon Park Avenue and an arresting Hygienic Dress League mural pasted on the street level façade of the old Charlevoix Hotel. One day the success of the Park Bar and Bucharest Grill may spread in that direction.
Open 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Friday-Saturday. Carry-out, limited delivery.

That's a great question
I will have to need some more time on that one.... interesting
As we know, elvis recorded 10's of songs over the years. Every recording session had it's own sound characteristics, not to mention Elvis' voice changing over the years. My question is: If We could switch sessins that particular songs were recorded what would be your preferences. Example I would have loved to hear "Bridge Over Troubled Water" come from the Memphis '69 sessions, or "A Fool Such As I" moved to the 1960 Elvis Is Back sessions. I would love to hear a sax on that!
That's a great question
I will have to need some more time on that one.... interesting
wow that is a great question. i will give it some seriose thought
Elvis doing Chuck Berry's 'Promised Land' in '68 or '69?
Or how about a studio cut of 'I Really Don't Want To Know' in '76 instead of '70. Or: 'I Believe' in '76.. Would have been interesting..!

March 10, 2014
PITTSBURGH -- Paul Maholm fired a quick three-hitter to lead Pittsburgh's 3-to-0 shutout of Houston.
Maholm gave up just three singles and threw only 99 pitches in a
game that lasted one hour and 57 minutes. Maholm's first career
complete game helped the Pirates avoid their first 0-and-5 home
start in 109 years.
Jason Bay provided an R-B-I double in the first inning and a
run-scoring single in the third. In between, Ronny Paulino hit a
solo shot in the second.
All three runs were charged to Woody Williams, who is 0-and-3
after giving up nine hits in seven innings.

Lesson Plan
Technological Grand Conversations
- Grades: 9–12
- Unit Plan:
Students will:
- Write a short entry about a character, event, or other aspect of the novel.
- Respond to other entries in a written "conversation" about the book.
- Respect the opinions and thoughts of others.
- Computer lab or classroom computers.
Set Up and Prepare
- Create a folder on your computers or network for each novel read in the Literature Circle unit where students can post their responses.
- Brainstorm some possible prompts to begin literature responses, such as:
- Write about a character in the novel. What kind of person is this character? Did the character change during the book?
- Comment on the author's use of description or other author's craft in this novel. Are there things a student writer could learn from this author?
- How would you feel to be in the situation that the main character was in? Would you make the same decisions?
Step 1:Assign each student to write a response to some aspect of the novel read in their Literature Circle. Save and sign only with initials or class number. Suggest starter prompts such as those above, if desired. Students may either write this on the computer if there is access to a lab or could save to a disc. I have six computers in my classroom, so I designate one computer for each novel and have students rotate out of whole class work to their station throughout the class period.
Step 2:
Allow another of your class hours to read the responses that match the novel they have read and respond, ask questions, or comment on the topics raised. Again, save and sign by initials or number.
Step 3:
Allow the tech conversations to go through all your classes a few times and then announce a deadline for a final entry. Print all the entries for each novel and allow students to reread as desired.
Supporting All Learners
Every student can offer an opinion, ask a question, or comment on a portion of the novel, so all learners succeed.
Lesson Extensions
Have students check the book reviews on Scholastic's Share What You're Reading. Students can also post a review on this site.
Home Connection
Invite parents to read the Literature Circle books (they could borrow a copy from the local library). Parents could be involved with the book conversations via email comments or questions.
Each student is required to write and respond to book comments for the Technological Grand Conversation on their Literature Circle novel.
Look over the printed transcripts of the conversations. Did everyone participate? Is there a mix of questions, comments, and opinions that keep the conversation going? Were students able to go beyond the superficial chat about the book and discuss the deeper issues and themes?
Assess Students
- Subjects:Reading Response, Literary Response, Educational Technology
- Skills:Writing
- Duration:3 Days

My mother is moving into a condo apartment and I am going to try my best to turn it into something very cosy and inviting. Hard to do in highrises after she has lived in old homes with character her entire life. The carpeting is light gray and the living room has a west facing patio door to the balcony and has a great view of the Ottawa River and their is always lots of light. Her only furniture piece she is bringing is her white leather couch. I am planning on painting the bathroom BM Norwester Tan with BM Silver Half Dollar colour accents. I think something not as bold and that goes well with the carpet and her white couch is in order. Can someone suggest a colour? TIA
