Researchers have discovered a new human disease in the Northeast transmitted by the same common deer tick that can infect people with Lyme disease.
The bacterial illness causes flu-like symptoms, researchers from Tufts, Yale, and other institutions reported Wednesday, but they also described the case of an 80-year-old woman who became confused and withdrawn, lost weight, and developed hearing difficulty and a wobbly gait. The woman, from New Jersey, recovered after receiving antibiotics.

|McElroy home for the holidays, new beginnings
|Monday, December 24, 2012 2:23 PM
At the age of 21, McElroy has experienced life-changing events than many of us could never comprehend.
His parents, Mark and Pauline McElroy Sr., had mixed emotions about their son's enlistment.
"I felt proud but sad and knew I would miss him," Pauline responded. "There was the possibility of him being killed. We are so glad he is home. We prayed hard."
"He did not have to prove anything [by joining]," Mark Sr. explained. "We worried about him."
In December 2011, McElroy was deployed to Afghanistan and served with the BCO 1-501st Airborne Infantry, US Army in Southern Afghanistan on the Pakistan border, where he was stationed on a combat outpost called "Chergowtaw." His tour consisted of over 300 combat patrols, which were exhaustive 24/7 defensive maneuvers that offered little rest. Whenever possible, he slept wherever he could — usually on rocks or stones.
The Third-World country is comprised of a terrain of mountains, rocks and stones. This was the environment he lived and fought in every day.
While in Afghanistan, McElroy longed for many of those amenities that are sometimes taken for granted — running water, home-cooked meals, cold drinks, perfume, walking in grass and on carpet. They had no way of washing their clothes or taking showers, all of their meals were MREs [freeze-dried meals], they had no way to refrigerate drinks and flooring was limited to sand, gravel and stones.
"When I would take my uniform off, it would literally stand on its own," McElroy further described life with no running water. "Imagine living with a squad of guys who had not taken showers in months."
That squad of guys he lived with and counted on became his family — a brotherhood of men that would do anything for each other.
"I trust every single one of them with my life," he said.
During his tour, McElroy experienced the feelings of being homesick and greatly missed his family and then-girlfriend Brittney Hawkey of Elida, whom he wed after returning home on leave in December.
Despite the fact that life in Afghanistan was hell for McElroy, there was one bright spot; an adopted mutt the unit named Scout.
"Scout followed us around everywhere," he spoke with a hint of affection. "He even went on patrols and ambushes with us."
In February during a dismount patrol, McElroy was hit by an IED [Improvised Explosive Device], which caused severe injuries and required airlifting him to the appropriate medical facility. The incident caused traumatic brain injury. He has post-traumatic stress disorder, which is a type of anxiety disorder and can occur after seeing or experiencing a traumatic event involving the threat of injury or death and suffers frequent memory loss.
McElroy was transferred from Afghanistan to Fort Richardson, Alaska, in September, where he will complete the remaining 15 months of his enlistment.
After his release from the Army, McElroy intends on pursuing a college degree in the medical field.

Not as good as we had heard. Have cruised several times from Carnival to Seabourn. Landed in Papeete 5:45 AM. Got to ship to leave luggage at 7:30AM. Brochure stated that as we were Penthouse level we could board at 11AM and our cabin would be ready for us then. WRONG.
Very tired and hung out on ship all day-couldn't buy anything as they wouldn't let us check in-had buffet lunch. Were permitted to check in at 4 PM - 5 hours from what they said in info pack and 8+ hours after being onboard. (They were NOT going to let us on ship till 1 but I insisted and got on at 10 or so
---concierge at ramp said early boarding did NOT apply to Papeete--where was it going to apply??? .
Cost of tours was outrageous and wine and liquor pricing more expensive than good restaurants on land.
Many passengers were on trip from alumni associations in Midwest universities. "Country Club Casual" went out the window as did feminine shapeliness other than moderately obese and above.
Seabourn is Seabourn.

At 99 years of age, the Honorable Judge Jean Murrell Capers speaks about her life, her work, and the importance of using one's mind. Capers always dresses for success. She carries herself and her briefcase with dignity. Jean Murrell Capers drove herself to Texas and back at the age of 95, and just recently retired in 2011.
Judge Capers believes "history is just what you do every day." She remembers many week days walking through what used to be Wade Park to Gordon Park and Rockefeller Park. To her, those sections were representative of what Clevelanders and others around the nation found to be highly cultural and educational parts of this city.
Judge Jean Capers age has no boundaries. At age 62 she was appointed a Cleveland Municipal Court judge, and she was elected to a full term. Jean retired from the bench because of Ohio's age restriction for judges.

Oak Creek - When your vehicle gets towed, it never ends well. But for one alert truck owner, a clandestine tow ended with the arrest of the tow truck driver.
According to the Oak Creek police report:
A man called police after he saw a tow truck, with no lights on, tow his truck away from the former Black Diamond grounds, 124 E. Rawson Ave., about 8:45 p.m. Feb. 21. When the tow truck left the lot, the caller followed it to the Mobil station at 13th Street and Rawson Avenue.
Police arrived at the gas station the same time as the drivers and questioned both. The caller provided police with proof of ownership of the truck.
The tow truck driver, a 26-year-old Waukesha man, gave the officer conflicting information about who had authorized the tow and could not provide any documentation that the tow was legitimate.
Police arrested the tow truck driver for theft, and he was taken into custody. He is scheduled to appear in the district attorney's office March 7.

Moderator Bob Schieffer's stance: The moderators of the first three debates — one vice presidential, two presidential — have emerged from the festivities as a story line in their own rights, and generally not in a good way. Given that, the final moderator, CBS veteran newsman Bob Schieffer, steps into something of a snake pit. How will Schieffer navigate the likelihood that both candidates will ignore (or at least stretch) the rules of engagement and repeatedly insist that the other guy isn't telling the truth? Interrupt? Tell them to stop speaking? Use humor? Cut off their mics? (Okay, that last one won't happen — but wouldn't it be great if it did?) Schieffer is a pro's pro, but the task he is faced with is close to impossible.
The vision thing: We've made no secret of our belief that the election won't be decided by matters of foreign policy — not even an issue as hot as Benghazi is at the moment. That said, people want and expect that a candidate has the knowledge and vision to represent the United States on the world stage — and Romney continues to struggle to convince voters that he does. Need evidence? The latest Washington Post-ABC News national poll gave Obama a 10-point lead on which candidate registered voters trusted more to handle international affairs. (The gap was seven points among likely voters.) Although Romney has made up some of that deficit over the past few months — he trailed Obama by 17 points among registered voters on that world-leader issue in February — he has not been able to narrow it nearly as much as most neutral observers expected he would. Monday's debate is Romney's best chance to close that gap; one of the announced topics is "America's role in the world."

John Edwards
by Will Graham, Wed May 06, 2009 at 03:25:32 AM EDT
Why is Newt Gingrich allowed to be all over my teevee and yet John Edwards is radioactive? Morally, what is the difference between the two men? They both cheated on sick wives.
Why is John Kennedy considered one of the greatest presidents of all time, yet John Edwards is radioactive? JFK screwed around with more women than Edwards could ever dream of, yet no one has any problem whatsoever with this.
Bill Clinton is a hero in the Democratic Party, and is treated like royalty, and yet John Edwards is radioactive. Why? When it came to adultery, the Big Dog was in a league of his own.
How is John Edwards any worse than Rudy Giuliani, Eliot Spitzer, David Vitter, or any of the countless other politicians who have cheated on their wives--and were allowed to continue their careers?
To be clear, I was never an Edwards supporter. I never voted for him or donated money to him. I just think that the way he is treated relative to other cheating politicians is a little unfair.

Calif. Sues Janitor Cos., Claims 'Flagrant' Independent Contractor Abuses
Posted Dec 19, 2007 8:35 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
In an apparent escalation of an ongoing effort to police companies that misclassify employees as independent contractors, two California agencies have announced joint litigation against two janitorial companies that send workers to restaurants in multiple counties.
In the first lawsuits resulting from a coordinated effort by Jerry Brown, the state attorney general, and the state Labor and Workforce Development Agency, the state has filed suit against Excell Cleaning and Building Services Inc. and MO Restaurant Cleaning Services of California Inc., alleging "flagrant" violation of labor laws requiring employees to be paid the minimum wage and overtime and provided with state-mandated breaks, among other issues. By coordinating on the cases, the two agencies can seek greater penalties against the defendant companies, if the suits are successful, according to the Los Angeles Times.
"In recent years, regulators in California and other states have stepped up oversight of companies that illegally classify delivery drivers, couriers, home care workers and other employees as independent contractors to dodge a number of workplace laws," the newspaper explains. "Switching to the independent contractor model can save employers 30 percent to 40 percent in labor costs, allowing them to undercut competitors with conventional employees."
As discussed in an earlier ABAJournal.com post about an unrelated case concerning delivery drivers, such cases can also pose significant issues for employers concerning the payment of social security taxes, unemployment and workers' compensation benefits.

Recipe by MamaMia72
"A hit with kids and those young at heart. My childhood neighbor made it our block party and now, even though I have moved far away, I still make it with fond memories...it just isn't Fourth of July without it! I have seen similar recipes where the white layer is made with sour cream or whipped topping, but this one uses sweetened condensed milk...easy and delicious!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (6 ounce) package
cherry flavored Jell-O® mix
2 (.25 ounce) envelopes
unflavored gelatin
2 cups
boiling water
4 (.25 ounce) envelopes
unflavored gelatin
1 cup
boiling water
1 (14 ounce) can
sweetened condensed milk
1 (6 ounce) package
blue raspberry flavored Jell-O® mix
I made this jello for the 4th of July and it turned out perfectly. I would give it 5 stars, except that I was concerned because the list of ingredients and the directions did not match up. The red and blue layer called for 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin in the list of ingredients, but the directions said to add 1 packet for each layer. What to do?? I went with the directions and used 2 packets for each of those layers and yes, it did turn out firm - but it looked perfect and served up beautifully like finger jello - the kids loved it - I would absolutely make it again - it may become a 4th of july standard in my home.
It looked great but was disappointed it had to much unflavored gelatin in it. It was chewy more like finger jello not what I was looking for. Next time I would leave out the unflavored gelatin or cut back on it.
4 Ratings
I made this tonight for 4th of July tomorrow. I love the way it looks but haven't tried it yet! I sprayed a little cooking oil on the glass dish so it should come out easier when I cut it into squares. I plan to use whip cream on the top with a strawberry just to make it pretty and festive. I used only half a pack of unflavored gelatin with the colored jello. I used one full pack with the white.
The taste was pretty good but it's just an okay dish. Jell-O is Jell-O, but this dish is not something I would want again.

Eastman to expand England plant capacity
According to the Associated Press, Eastman Chemical Co. said it plans to expand production of its Estron acetate tow, a synthetic fiber used in cigarette filters. Eastman said it plans to increase production at its Workington, England, factory belonging to subsidiary Eastman Chemical England Ltd. The company did not disclose the amount of its planned investment. The expansion will boost annual capacity at the plant from 15,000 metric tons to 24,000 metric tons per year and is expected to be finished in the first half of 2008. At its completion, Eastman said its total worldwide capacity for acetate tow will reach 180,000 metric tons annually. The company said it is considering adding capacity in Asia, where demand growth for acetate tow is high.

Bears RB Matt Forté has disappointed fantasy owners in the past, but he is worth a start in all formats against the Bills. Buffalo is ranked last in the league vs. the run, allowing an eye-popping 188.7 rushing yards per game. No team has rushed for less than 140 yards against the Bills this season. Offensive coordinator Mike Martz hasn't embraced the ground game this season, but he would be foolish not to in this game.
Another Bears player who has probably let some fantasy owners down — TE Greg Olsen — is also worth considering for a start in deep leagues against Buffalo. The Bills have allowed tight ends to score seven touchdowns in the five games they have played since Week Three, including two-TD days for Dustin Keller, Marcedes Lewis and Todd Heap. Owners have reason to be concerned about gambling on Olsen, who has made just three catches in the past three games, including two games without a catch, but it could be worth it if they don't have an option that's clearly better this week.

OTTAWA (AP) -- James Reimer posted his second straight shutout, and Phil Kessel and Tyler Bozak each had three points to lead the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 5-0 rout of the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night.
Kessel and Bozak each had a goal and two assists, while Dion Phaneuf, Luke Schenn and Cody Franson also scored for Toronto. Reimer stopped 49 shots for his third shutout of the season and has now made 74 saves in his last two games.
Craig Anderson, making his 17th straight start and 50th appearance, had little help from his teammates as he faced 40 shots.
Ottawa fell to 3-2-0 against Toronto this year.

Police appeal for information over Haverfordwest man missing following Wales v Ireland match

It is understood he was last seen at around 6.30pm at the Mocha Lounge on Mill Lane.
Ben is 5ft 9in tall, with short brown hair and blue eyes.

DOWNINGTOWN Ś FridayÆs District 1-Class AAAA championship may have been hopelessly out of reach, with Spring-Ford trailing juggernaut Coatesville by 38 points in the fourth quarter.
The clock may have been running out on the RamsÆ superb season.
Yet there was Spring-Ford quarterback Hank Coyne, still guiding his squad with guts and guile one last time at Downingtown WestÆs Kottmeyer Stadium.
A four-yard toss to Zameer McDowell to start it off. And later, back-to-back runs of 7 and 15 yards to set up a three-yard Yousef Lundi TD run with 3:48 left.
No, that final drive and resulting score didnÆt have a whole lot of impact in what wound up a 59-28 victory by a dynamite Red Raiders squad.
But it did provide perhaps an appropriate final chapter in what will go down as one of the top signal-calling careers in Spring-Ford Ś and Pioneer Athletic Conference Ś history.
Though he was thoroughly outgunned by Coatesville counterpart Emmett Hunt, Coyne battled the entire time he was on the field. To the bitter end.
Rams coach Chad Brubaker wouldnÆt expect anything less from Coyne, or for that matter his entire contingent of seniors.
Coyne wound up completing 14 of 28 passes for 143 yards while throwing two touchdowns and one interception. Along the way, he became The Mercury areaÆs all-time career leader in both completions and attempts, while finishing second in passing yardage.
ōHeÆs been great,ö said Rams tight end/defensive end R.J. Sheldon, one of the few Rams, like Coyne, to have seen quality time as a sophomore two years ago. ōHeÆs only gotten better over the past three years. HeÆs going to be really hard to replace.ö
As are the rest of the RamsÆ final-year players, who will graduate having put together a school-record 31-8 mark over the past three years highlighted by their first three postseason wins in program history.
Guys like fullback Yousef Lundi, who came up huge when junior tailback Jarred Jones went down with injury earlier in the season and wound up being a 1,000-yard rusher.
Like the bookend combo of Sheldon and Zameer McDowell, who composed a potent pass-catching tight end combo while each wreaking havoc on the defensive line.
Like offensive linemen Michael Gilmore, Montana OÆDaneill and Justin Meals, who paved the way for the RamsÆ three-pronged ground game.
Like linebackers Ian Hare and Kyle Hoffner; safety Travis Daywalt; and corner Ben Schein Ś key cogs in a team-oriented defense.
And like Coyne, their cool and composed leader on and off the field.
ōIÆm so proud of the way theyÆve played all year,ö Coyne said of his fellow seniors. ōSome of these guys didnÆt even start until this year, but they stepped in and made big plays. They played their hearts out from the snap to whistle on every down, and thatÆs all you can ask for.ö
ōThe motto for our seniors this year was, æRaise my performance; raise my expectations,Æ ö Brubaker said. ōAnd they certainly did that. They set the bar really high, and our future teams will have to step up their game because of this senior class.ö
Two years ago, in CoyneÆs first year as a starter and BrubakerÆs first year at the helm, the Rams went 9-3, a significant step up from the previous year.
Then last year, Spring-Ford went 10-2, bringing home their first PAC-10 title in more than a decade.
But that was only the appetizer for this fantastic fall, when the Rams took down the trio of Garnet Valley (43-27), Ridley (28-26) and Pennridge (35-24) to reach the district final.
ōItÆs been a tremendous year,ö Coyne said. ōItÆs been the best experience of my life. Something IÆll never forget. Something IÆll take to the grave with me.ö
And though CoatesvilleÆs high-powered offense buried the Rams for good (after they had hung within 28-21 late in the first half), the mood afterward was as much positive reflection as it was heartbreak.
ōThereÆs really no good way to go out unless you win the whole thing,ö Sheldon said. ōBut itÆs been a great journey.ö
ōFirst of all, (the seniors are) graduating with the most wins in Spring-Ford history,ö said Brubaker. ōTheyÆve had some good modeling (from previous classes) over the past two years, and now theyÆve done the same for our sophomores and juniors.
ōI canÆt say enough about them. We care about these kids so much. TheyÆve worked hard and done everything weÆve asked them to do.ö
And created a lasting legacy along the way.

Winchester care home voted one of the top in the South East
12:00pm Saturday 31st May 2014 in News By Lauren Howard, Reporter
A CARE home in Winchester has been commended as one of the top homes in the South East.
Tegfield House, on Chilbolton Avenue, came 16th of 3,304 homes according to online recommendations registered on the website carehome.co.uk.
Director of carehome.co.uk Davina Ludlow said: "We felt the best people to rate a care home were the people who really know its ins and outs, its residents and their families.
"Tegfield House care home has proved that it provides a great service and we'd like to congratulate them on being a top recommended home in the South East. It's a brilliant achievement to be recognised for your hard work but particularly from the people who you work hard for.
"The care home will be recognised on our website as a top rated home and will receive a certificate from us."
Manager of Tegfield House, Shirely Bartlett, said: "Having just celebrated our 10th anniversary of being part of the Hartford Care Group this really is the icing on the cake. It is particularly special as the award is based on personal recommendations from our residents and their friends and families.
"It is heart-warming to read the many honest and touching reviews about the care we provide at Tegfield, it's a real morale boost for staff and we are all very proud."

20-inch Freestanding Barrier 300 328
Dog Gate Excellent! Love it. May 1, 2014
Best Gate you will ever buy This gate is wonderful. It is made very sturdy and I absolutely love that you can walk through it. I was able to put it together in about 20 min. The gate does not stay open on its own so I went to the hardware store and got a black hook that I tied on to the door and when I want to keep the door open I just hook it to the side. The best thing about this gate is the way it looks. Every person that comes in my house comments about how expensive looking the gate is. May 21, 2014
The best gate out there This gate was my umpteenth try at a sturdy but nice looking pet gate for my Shih Tzu...and it was a homerun! I tried tension mounts (from other brands), accordion-style free-standing and walk-through gates. This one is the sturdiest and nicest looking. It is worth every $. March 26, 2014
A Gate that Works I have been looking for a year for a good looking iron gate to block our young English setters from going down our very wide open staircase. We didn't want to have to attach anything to the stairs. When the pups grow up we can remove the gate. It works great and is easy for us to go through if we need to go downstairs. Definitely fits the bill. May 1, 2014
Great gate! This gate is pretty and functions perfectly - that is, it keeps our dogs confined to one area. The gate that opens is heavy and a little difficult to open, but it certainly works and serves the purpose. I'm glad the quality matches the price! April 30, 2014
doggie gate This gate is awesome. I have 2 small dogs but one of them can really jump. It keeps them secure while they can still see everything and be a part of the action. The gate opens easily and it looks super. It was also easy to assemble. April 28, 2014
Best gate for very large dogs This is the 2nd gate like this that I have purchased as I now need the 2nd gate to keep my 3 extra large dogs (St Bernard, Great Pyrennees, and Aussie/German Shep Mix) out of other areas of the house. The 1st barrier/gate was purchased 4 yrs ago and still looks/works great. I have purchased other barriers in the past, and this is the best one so far. Price is completely worth it. These look nice too. April 21, 2014
Quality quality quality Since I needed a pet gate for a wide opening I was prepared to spend over $100. I was quite pleased when I realized I could get this nice iron gate for the same or less than some of the wooden gates I was considering at other sites. I placed my order on Sunday and it was delivered on Thursday. I was extremely impressed with how well it was packaged. It was well wrapped and padded so it arrived in perfect condition. It is even nicer than I was expecting and is an attractive solution to to keeping my grandpup out of my dining room thus saving my expensive carpet! February 6, 2014

News: 50 Cent Jabs Lupe Fiasco W/ New SK Record, "Kick, Push, Get The F*ck Outta Here" [Audio]
Monday, Oct 10, 2011 11:15AM
G-Unit general 50 Cent appears focused on keeping the Internet heads happy by releasing more new music via his Street King energy shot series.
On the latest track, "50's My Favorite", the controversial rapper appears to take a shot toward Lupe Fiasco and his 2006 hit single, "Kick, Push".
But on this latest promotional track for his Street King energy shot, you hear a reference to/shot at Lupe Fiasco's 2005 single, "Kick Push." I mean, would 50 really be saying that sh*t now, some six years later? Hmm. "I could fit your house inside my house," Fif raps, "Then your neighbors and your yard/Oh my God/This sh*t ain't about sh*t, so I ain't gonna go hard/Now 'Kick, Push, Kick Push'/Get the f*ck outta here/'Kick, Push'/You are now being hypnotized, close your eyes and say/50's my favorite." ("Prefix Mag")
Fif used his Twitter account to unleash the new track online.
"There goes the track i was telling you about its called 50 MY FAVORITE #SK 11 http://ning.it/nOvVPb -- @StreetKing," he tweeted October 10th. (50 Cent's Twitter)
In late September, 50 dropped his "Love, Hate, Love" SK track going at Lil Wayne and Game.
The track starts off slow with a stirring soul vocal sample serving as the backdrop. When the track gets going, 50 sounds sinister after he lyrically launches a salvo in the direction of Young Money captain Lil Wayne. "Acting like a white boy bored, now you wanna jump a flight of stairs on a skateboard/Ni---, why the f--- ya pants so tight?/You trying to show ni---- your ass, your alternative life" - Ouch, 50! But Wayne wasn't the only rapper to catch a stray from Mr. Jackson as former ally Game catches some pretty tough shots too. "I touched more p---- than maxipads/Now Detox can be your little rap rehab/Bi---, just a second visit from the repo man/And you can't afford your monthlys, I mean God D---." (RapFix)
Following its release, former G-Unit member Game promised to lash back at 50.
"@50cent I'm on tour doin shows but soon as @avanterose find a studio for me I'm killin yo "Planet Of The Apes" face havin ass n*gga #MEunit," he tweeted September 29th. (Game's Twitter)

CATEGORIES MoviesBen Stiller, who can seem indiscriminate in his choice of projects to work on (one minute he'll be doing 'Greenberg,' the next 'Little Fockers') may have lined up his next project. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he's circling 'Neighborhood Watch,' a 20th Century Fox sci-fi comedy that was recently rewritten by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.
Akiva Schaffer, who directed 'Hot Rod' and whose work has been featured on 'Saturday Night Live,' has been tapped by Fox to direct after Pete Segal ('Tommy Boy,' '50 First dates') dropped out.
Since finishing 'Tower Heist' for director Brett Ratner, Stiller has been looking for his next project and initially had 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' in his sights. But after seeing the Rogen/Goldberg rewrite of 'Neighborhood Watch,' Stiller decided on that production.
'Neighborhood Watch' revolves around a suburban "neighborhood watch" group that serves as a front for dads to get some male-bonding time away from their families. The group finds itself in over its head when it uncovers a plot to destroy the world.

Dozens of types of pain killers, antibiotics and other drugs are being recalled because they might be contaminated with mold.
The drugs were all made by "Med Prep," a compounding pharmacy in New Jersey that mixes drugs according to doctor's specifications.
The potentially contaminated drugs were distributed in infusion bags, plastic syringes and glass vials to hospitals on the east coast.
No one has been hurt but last year, a tainted steroid distributed by a Massachusetts-based compounding pharmacy killed 50 people.

Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chair Barbara Boxer (D-CA) convened an opening meeting of House and Senate conferees on the surface transportation bill. Senator Boxer and Ranking Member James Inhofe (R-OK) worked together with their committee colleagues to develop a two-year surface transportation bill, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21), which maintains funding at current levels. On March 14, 2012, the Senate passed the bill with overwhelming bipartisan support. close

Moore discusses the dynamics of transposing between books, theatre, movies, and TV.
LIVE from the NYPL: Lorrie Moore, "Watching Television"The Stephen A. Schwarzman Building (NYPL) (455 5th Avenue, New York, NY) Map it $25
Lorrie Moore presents the annual Robert B. Silvers lecture, entitled "Watching Television."
Moore examines some of the connections and disconnections from stage to page to theatre to screen to small screen -- with an emphasis on what seems to be happening currently with narrative on the small screen. Expect a free-wheeling and highly personal contemplation of storytelling and how it has landed with a certain success onto the screens of cable TV, while remaining literary and serving as a reminder that we will still always go to books for what only the written word can deliver.
Lorrie Moore is the author of the story collections Birds of America, Like Life, and Self-Help and the novels Who Will Run the Frog Hospital? and Anagrams. Her work has won honors from the Lannan Foundation and the American Academy of Arts and Letters, as well as the Irish Times International Prize for Fiction, the Rea Award for the Short Story, and the PEN/Malamud Award. She is a professor of English at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
The Robert B. Silvers Lecture is an annual series created by Max Palevsky in recognition of the work of Robert B. Silvers, editor of the New York Review of Books.

Java is Pass by Value and Not Pass by Reference
There has been a good amount of debate on whether "Java is pass by value or pass by reference?". Well, lets conclude it last time, Java is pass by value and not pass by reference. If it had been pass by reference, we should have been able to C like swaping of objects, but we can't do that in java. We know it already, right? When you pass a instance to a method, its memory address are copied bit by bit to new reference variable, thus both pointing to same instance. But if you change the reference inside method, original reference will not get chnage. If it was pass by reference, then it would have got changed also.
To prove it, lets see how memory allocations happen in runtime. It should solve the slightest doubts, if any. I am using following program for demonstration of the concept.
public class Foo { private String attribute; public Foo (String a){ this.attribute = a; } public String getAttribute() { return attribute; } public void setAttribute(String attribute) { this.attribute = attribute; } } public class Main { public static void main(String[] args){ Foo f = new Foo("f"); changeReference(f); // It won't change the reference! modifyReference(f); // It will change the object that the reference variable "f" refers to! } public static void changeReference(Foo a) { Foo b = new Foo("b"); a = b; } public static void modifyReference(Foo c) { c.setAttribute("c"); } }
Lets see what happen on runtime step by step :
1) Foo f = new Foo("f");
This statement will create a instance of class Foo, with 'attribute' initialized to 'f'. The reference to this created instance is assigned to variable f;
2) public static void changeReference(Foo a)
When this executes then a reference of type Foo with a name a is declared
and it's initially assigned to null.
3) changeReference(f);
As you call the method changeReference, the reference a will be assigned to the object which is passed as an argument.
4) Foo b = new Foo("b"); inside first method
This will do exactly the same as in fisrt step, and will create a new instance of Foo, and assign it to b;
5) a = b;
This is the important point. Here, we have three reference variables and when statement executes, a and b will point to same instance created inside the method. Note: f is unchanged and it continuely pointing to instance, it was pointing originally. NO CHANGE !!
6) modifyReference(Foo c);
Now when this statement executed a reference, c is created and assigned to the object with attribute "f".
7) c.setAttribute("c");
This will change the attribute of the object that reference c points to it, and it's same object that reference f points to it.
I hope that this explanation was enough clear to make your understanding better, if it was not already.
Happy Learning !!

While param a is local, it is not undefined and it does have a value. Its value is a reference to the Foo object created in the main method. Confusion is caused because the 'value' in the pass by value is a reference to the Foo object, but not the same reference as the one created in the main method.
Robert Saulnier replied on Thu, 2013/03/07 - 3:30pm
I didn't say it doesn't get a value, it gets assigned a value in step 3. I said in step 2, it is not assigned null. Step 2 should read:
2) public static void changeReference(Foo a)
When this executes then a reference of type Foo with a name a is declared
and it's initially assigned to null.
When a method is called, a new Frame is created with an array of local variables. There is no mention of default values for those variables:

Mr. Gupta has drawn some nice diagrams that may help out any Java beginner who is confused about how parameter passing works. However, this whole never-ending debate about whether Java is "pass by value" or "pass by reference" is ultimately rather vacuous.
Primitives are of course passed by value in Java, copied exactly as they are by an assignment statement. Object instances are likewise passed through to method parameters exactly as if there had been an assignment of each actual argument to the corresponding parameter, that is, by creating a new reference to the same object instance.
Thus we see that Java parameter passing is quite easily understood as "pass (in) by assignment," a simple concept that follows straightforwardly from an understanding of how assignment works in the language. The argument over "by value" versus "by reference" is a tedious exercise in semantics that attempts to shoehorn the language into either of two basic models commonly taught in a Programming Languages 101 class, neither of which is precisely applicable to Java.

Roger Persson replied on Fri, 2013/03/15 - 6:04am
rehashing this old worn subject once again? :)
As someone already pointed out, C is just a much call-by-value as Java is. Thats why you need the ampersand -- to pass a reference... BY VALUE.
The confusion comes from java's object implementation which is an implementation-by-pointers/references. Because of this implementation, to be TRULY call-by-value it would need to DEEP-COPY all parameters in method-calls.

Zlatan Kadragic replied on Fri, 2013/03/15 - 1:42pm
You can swap in C using exactly the same trick as in Java: do the "swapping" using reference/pointer to the value you are "swapping". C just lets you do that easier because you can get the pointer from the value. In Java there is no such operator, so you need to make your own wrapper or use org.apache.commons.lang3.mutable
You just can't swap directly arguments in Java and C, that's why it can't be called pass by reference. For example Pascal has pass by reference if you use VAR keyword in formal parameter of procedure.
Robert Saulnier replied on Fri, 2013/03/15 - 2:23pm in response to: Zlatan Kadragic
You don't need any tricks to swap pointers in C, but in Java it can't be done. Apache Commons won't help you here.
Can you implement the method swap below so that the main method will print?
public class Swap { public static void main(String[] args) { String one = "One"; String two = "Two"; swap(one, two); System.out.println(one); System.out.println(two); } private static void swap(String a, String b) { //? } }
Zlatan Kadragic replied on Sat, 2013/03/16 - 3:04am in response to: Robert Saulnier
It is not possible to implement such direct swap, as I have already written. But try to do the same in C:
#include <stdio.h> void swap(char* stringA, char* stringB); int main() { char* one = "One"; char* two = "Two"; swap(one, two); printf("%s\n", one); printf("%s\n", two); return 0; } void swap(char* stringA, char* stringB) { // ? }
Robert Saulnier replied on Sat, 2013/03/16 - 8:59am in response to: Zlatan Kadragic
The swap method needs to take a pointer to a char*.
#include <stdio.h> void swap(char** a, char** b) { char* t = *a; *a = *b; *b = t; } int main(int argc, char** argv) { char* one = "One"; char* two = "Two"; swap(&one, &two); printf("%s\n", one); printf("%s\n", two); return 0; }
Zlatan Kadragic replied on Sat, 2013/03/16 - 4:41pm in response to: Robert Saulnier
Pointer to pointer, so that the target pointer could be changed. So then why I am not allowed to use reference to reference, so that the target reference could be changed? But you refused that kind implementation (the easiest is by using commons wrapper classes). So let me use my knowledge of Logic. I can use reductio ad absurdum. So you are telling that in C it is OK to use pointer indirection and you call that pass by reference , but for Java you are telling that indirection is not pass by reference. So the same statement is in one case true, in other false which is absurdum.
Simply telling you are cheating by using more "*" than it is allowed :) But officially it is known as Straw Man argument, and it is very popular in politics.
It last my Logic study has applicability, thanks to my good continental high school education (grammar/gymnasium).
Robert Saulnier replied on Mon, 2013/03/18 - 9:52am in response to: Zlatan Kadragic
You initially stated:
In C swapping is not possible to do directly.
I demonstrated that swapping is possible. How is this a straw man? Of course I used pointers, because C has them. If Java had pointers, swapping would probably be possible too.
And now let's check your logic. I never mentioned "pass by reference", you did :) I avoid using the term "pass by reference" since its meaning in Java gets confused.
The reason I dismissed wrapper classes is because we're no longer talking about the same thing. Wrapper classes can swap fields, but this discussion is about swapping local variables.
Roger Persson replied on Wed, 2013/03/20 - 4:11am in response to: Robert Saulnier
"...You don't need any tricks to swap pointers in C..."
Yes you do, the "trick" is the "address" operator (&).
But that has nothing to do with calling conventions. They are essentially the same.
In Java, you can use e.g. the Holder<T> datatype to achieve similar effect as the address operator.
Robert Saulnier replied on Wed, 2013/03/20 - 8:57am in response to: Roger Persson
I rarely do C programming, but I didn't think using "&" a trick. If it is a trick, I think it's a trick that's used a lot.
And again, I'm not discussing using wrappers or holders. The equivalent example of using a Holder in Java would be a struct in C. I'm not talking about swapping fields.
Just about every class in Java is a holder/wrapper of other fields. You don't need anything special to implement a wrapper in Java. All JavaBeans are wrappers of other fields, Date is a wrapper of a long, String is a wrapper around a char[]. The Atomic classes are wrappers. A 1-length array is a wrapper for a reference, and so on.
A "trick" in Java would be to swap the String's char[] using reflection. But this is still swapping a field, not the Java reference.
Mujahid Masood replied on Tue, 2013/07/02 - 9:06am
class Animal1 {
String name = "animal";
class Dog2 extends Animal1{
String name = "Dog";
class Main2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Animal1 animal = new Dog2();
Dog2 dog = new Dog2();
// Dog2 dog2 = (Dog2) new Animal1();
System.out.println("Animal name :"+animal.name);
System.out.println("Dog name :"+dog.name);
//System.out.println("Dog2 name: "+dog2.name);
Can anyone please elaborate pass by value and pass by reference concept here. Because from this piece of code I see its pass by reference?

A bit disappointing but freeviriel | Jan. 9, 2014 | See all viriel's reviews »
After enjoying the first Guild Wars and all of it's expansions I decided to give Guild Wars 2 a try on the advice of a friend. All of the promotional material seemed really promising so I went with the digital deluxe version. Years down the road from it's launch I can say I was overall disappointed with the game and my decision to get the deluxe edition, I feel it wasn't worth the extra money. I enjoyed it for awhile but it just sank into the normal MMO routines and any innovations it brought seemed lost in the pool of sameness. Sure the quest system was nice but only because it seemed to be a convenience, I never did mind having to goto the quest giver and having them be happy with what I'd done. The system in GW2 seems designed to make players a bit lazier and my rating reflects that.
Overall I'd say for only the cost of initial investment it may be worth your time, however I enjoyed Star Trek Online and TOR more than GW2. This may put me in a minority of people reviewing this game especially with TOR being crippling unless you pay but that is my opinion.
A fun MMO experience well worth the priceLexanderion | Dec. 17, 2013 | See all Lexanderion's reviews »
It's rare to see a subscription-free MMO be any good. They either turn out badly, or become pay2win. Guild Wars 2 does not suffer from either of those flaws, and is a fantastic game well worth the buy in investment. There are many different classes and races, the questing system has you instigated and involved and it doesn't feel like you are idle waiting around some mob to respawn. There is just so much to do, it can be a bit of a time sink. Crafting is awesome in this as well, just be careful not to spend all your gold in getting materials. All in all it's a great game. It CAN be a bit challenging for newcomers of the MMO Experience however, as both pve and pvp require good understanding of the gameplay mechanics. So grab a few friends and level together, you're better off with company that will have your back and save you from trouble!
I would buy this now. It only gets better from here.EggsBenedict | Nov. 3, 2013 | See all EggsBenedict's reviews »
The game has been getting patches constantly, and the patches don't just consist of profession tweaks and nerfs. No, they add NEW CONTENT all the time, to a new jumping puzzle, to a new dungeon, even to a whole new area on the map. But what about the game? It has the most fun leveling that I have ever experienced in an MMO. Most MMO's make it seem almost grindy, and you feel like you are just playing with the only fun goal in mind of making it to the highest level, where the game really starts. I can tell you, this game fixes that error flawlessly. From 1-80 you will feel engaged in the game, and more than likely fixated on the story. After buying this game (you will buy this game) go ahead and read up on some GW2 lore. The story is amazing, better than that of any other single play fantasy game on the market (yes, even skyrim); and imagine that every two weeks or so new content involving that amazing story line gets pushed out for you two play, free of extra charge. You will save so much money buying this game, its unfair to the developers.
Good Game - Great Valueredmangamerx311 | Nov. 2, 2013 | See all redmangamerx311's reviews »
Guild Wars 2 has a lot to offer for what it costs. There is structured PvP that you can play as soon as you finish the new character tutorial, world versus world which is also immediately accessible (although better experienced at 80 with friends), several five man PvE dungeons, world events from small tasks that can be solo'd to dragons that require a raid, Guild events, jump puzzles, a personal(ized) story, a home instance, and activities (crab toss, belcher's bluff, and a few more).
Guild Wars 2 has no dedicated healers or tanks and its combat is action oriented requiring players to constantly position and dodge.
I think Guild Wars 2's biggest downfall is a lack of communication from the dev team, a lack of consistent direction for the game's development, and the inability to address player concerns in a timely manner. It took a full year to develop the looking for group tool and it will be some time longer before we have a customizable game client, never mind the often blinding overuse of particle effects that make timing your dodge or even finding the rear side of a monster often impossible.
Guild Wars 2 is well worth the money despite a few nagging issues but misses the mark of feeling like a true MMO. Instant travel makes the world feel small and insignificant. Lack of EQ style factions make your actions feel meaningless. Being able to do almost anything either with or without direct cooperation and coordination of other players is both positive in that you never feel like you have to schedule your real life around the game but negative in that you never feel truly needed by the other players.
I gave Guild Wars 2 an A- (90/100) rating due to the extreme value as a game even though it misses the mark of being a great MMO.
Much better than TERAmoxxon | Oct. 24, 2013 | See all moxxon's reviews »
I've played quite a few mmos in the past, and GW2 does remind me abit of TERA as having played the latter first instead of GW2.
It had me convinced and I took a leap of faith after looking at its numerous awards and feedback coupled with that GMG was the only one offering it on sale. I entered with really low expectations thinking it was just your average mmo and a time filler and exploration sorta mmo, something I'd chuck away in a month or two after levelling one or two characters...
I have never been so wrong...I was expecting grinds and real effort to be put into levelling to get to at least end game....this game really wants to get you to end game fast...you level at everything, be it crafting, questing or exploring the maps...I had a few friends join me in getting the game and was a little worried that the levels i had in advance might hinder our partying...the game mechanics are so awesome that it scales you to the map content almost immediately which is really good when you're say...a level 60 but your friend has just started....
I'd really recommend this well polished game and they literally come out with updates and events and contents every fortnight.
Tired of WoW Pandas? Diablo 3 not working? LOTRO seems to loreish to swallow? Get this game even if the above hasn't hit you yet...and GMG is offering it on sale.
Get It!

The biggest Broadway touring show to hit South Florida this season was born of the mutual admiration that South Parks Trey Parker and Matt Stone and Avenue Q creators Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx had for each others work.
The Book of Mormon, which kicks off a four-week run at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts Tuesday, might never have happened if Parker and Stone hadnt decided to go to a performance of the red-hot Avenue Q one night in 2003. At the time, they were toiling on their satirical 2004 marionette movie Team America: World Police.
Flipping through the shows Playbill, they discovered Lopez and Marx had thanked them by name. Weird, since the men had never met or communicated.
Turns out, Parker and Stones 1999 animated movie musical South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut (with its Oscar-nominated song Blame Canada) helped inspire Lopez and Marx to create their no-holds-barred, people-and-puppets show, an affectionate if sometimes raunchy sendup of Sesame Street.
Lopez, who happened to be at the performance that night, introduced himself though he wasnt exactly nonchalant about meeting the hugely successful duo.
When you meet someone whose work you admire a lot, you sort of stammer and think, This is not going anywhere, Lopez says by phone from New York. But we went out for drinks and found these like-minded artists. They were responding to what we had done, telling us we were inspiring them and making them want to do a Broadway show.
Through the Book of Mormon press agent, Parker and Stone, in production with the current season of South Park, declined an interview request. So did co-director and choreographer Casey Nicholaw, citing his workload. But in a Frequently Asked Questions handout with the shows publicity materials, Parker (who co-directed with Nicholaw) suggests why he and Stone jumped into the years-long collaboration that results in a Broadway musical.
Theres just nothing more perfect in the universe to me than a good musical. And a bad musical makes you want to kill yourself, Parker explains. A good musical is to me so much more moving and powerful than a great movie or a great book, or anything.
In that first late-night conversation, Parker, Stone and Lopez discovered they all had thought about doing a musical centered around Joseph Smith, the founder and first prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, aka the Mormon church. (Marx was initially involved but later left the project.)
Religion is something Ive always wanted to write about, as the subject of satire or maybe a sequel to Avenue Q or even a religious epic, Lopez says. We discovered we were looking at religion from the same angle, especially with the idea of Mormons and their wholesomeness ... [but] we didnt realize we were creating something solid enough to appeal to a mainstream musical audience.
Did they ever. The Book of Mormon, running at Broadways Eugene ONeill Theatre since February 2011, has chalked up more than 1,000 performances, winning a slew of Tony Awards and often playing (thanks to standing room) to more than 100 percent of the ONeills capacity. Yet given the shows tone and style the uncensored and potentially offensive humor of South Park meets a classic uplifting (and, yes, ultimately sweet) musical that success wasnt a sure thing.
In brief, The Book of Mormon follows the misadventures of an Odd Couple of missionaries who, despite their dreams of getting sent to someplace cool like Paris or Orlando, are dispatched to Uganda. Good-looking, by-the-book Elder Price is dismayed at being paired with chubby, slovenly Elder Cunningham, an imaginative guy with a short attention span and a woeful lack of detailed knowledge about his own religion. The two swiftly discover that their would-be recruits are dealing with rampant AIDS, famine and the terrorizing attacks of the local warlord, a general with an unprintable last name. Orlando it isnt.
Against all odds, what Parker, Stone and Lopez created manages to be shockingly raunchy, an affirmation of the power of faith, and insanely hilarious.
The show is the funniest thing Ive ever seen. Period, says Larry Hochman, who won a Tony for co-orchestrating the stylistically varied score of The Book of Mormon with Stephen Oremus. There are so many parts where you cant believe your ears ... [but] as much as you believe at first that its bashing a religion, it turns around, and you feel its affirming the purpose of religion.
In the touring company coming to Fort Lauderdale, British actor Mark Evans plays Elder Price opposite Christopher John ONeill as Elder Cunningham. Evans says that though he and ONeill are the only starring pair who never auditioned together, their chemistry works.
It really does come down to the partnership, Evans says. They have to have that natural chemistry. You want to feel the actors really get on well offstage too, even though you dont see that.
Of the shows style, Evans observes, You can get away with being vulgar and crass and shocking if theres a purpose for it. The things you see in the show are really happening in Uganda. ... We mock Mormonism and religion in general, but the end of the show is a real celebration of faith.
ONeill is a comedian who was doing The Chris and Paul Show with performing partner Paul Valenti at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe when a Book of Mormon casting director caught his act. (It was in a cave, ONeill marvels.) Now, hes playing his first professional musical theater role a lead, no less in one of the hottest shows on tour. No one seems more surprised than he is.
I went back to New York and auditioned for it, and I thought that was very surreal. My mom called and asked me, Do you think youll get a callback? I said, No!, ONeill recalls, laughing. I didnt even have an agent or a head shot, so my fiancee took a picture of me on the roof of our apartment building in Queens. I went into the audition with my ghetto head shot, and they kept calling me back.
ONeill describes Elder Cunningham as a train wreck of a Mormon missionary. Hes a guy with ADHD, pudgy, a goofball. But audiences do respond to the shows coming-of-age story and to the delicate balancing act the shows creators pull off.
People are surprised by how much heart this has. But these guys know how to write comedy and shocking humor, and they know how to make it sweet, he says.
Lopez, who composed two of the most successful musicals of the last decade in Avenue Q and The Book of Mormon, says that writing a musical that is purely raunchy or shocking or funny was never what he, Parker and Stone intended to do.
There has to be something to care about for a full-length musical. There has to be a real emotional arc, he says. Weaving it all together with craft and making an audience care thats the hardest part.
