Ibudilast, a drug compound developed by a pharmaceutical company in Japan and licensed to San Diego, Calif-based MediciNova, is being tested by UCLA addiction researchers as the first-ever pharmacotherapy for methamphetamine addiction.
A very few pharmaceutical firms have shown an interest in developing drugs to treat substance abuse. MediciNova is one of them.
MediciNova licensed ibudilast, or MN-166, from the Japanese firm Kyorin Pharmaceutical in 2004. MN-166 has been marketed in Japan and South Korea for the treatment of asthma and post-stroke diseases for decades. MediciNova scientists discovered independently ibudilast's modulation of the immune response, and suggested it had potential as a treatment for opioid and methamphetamine addiction.
Several addiction experts took notice, including scientists with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). So far, NIDA has awarded four grants to addiction researchers studying ibudilast's potential as a treatment for methamphetamine abuse.
There are an estimated 1.2 million methamphetamine users in the United States, according to a survey by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSA). But there's currently no approved medication for methamphetamine addiction.
Michael Coffee, chief business officer for MediciNova, says the drug was recently found safe in a Phase 1b trial of 12 methamphetamine-sing volunteers and will advance to a Phase 2 trial by UCLA researchers by early 2013. MediciNova, which holds patent rights to the drug through 2028, is providing the drug product, stability testing of the drug and regulatory oversight with the FDA, says Coffee.
Columbia University is studying the drug's impact on heroin users, and UCLA's Center for Behavior and Addiction is following its Phase 1b safety trial with a Phase 2 efficacy trial. The randomized, placebo-controlled trial will enroll 140 treatment-seeking methamphetamine users for a 12-week period. Researchers, led by principal investigator Keith Heinzerling, MD, an addiction specialist with the UCLA Medication Development Unit for Stimulant Abuse, will observe the impact the drug has on methamphetamine abstinence during the final two weeks of treatment.
"It's very rare for a pharma to work on medication for addiction," says Heinzerling. "For some reason they don't see the market potential." However, he said, ticking off some statistics,10 to 15 percent of Americans have a problem with drugs or alcohol. That's 1-out-of-10 Americans during their lifetime. Only about 25 percent of substance abusers are able to master their addictions through counseling and behavioral modification alone.
There's another reason drug companies might want to take a second look at addiction drug development. "Increasingly, insurance companies are more willing to pay for treatment for drug and alcohol problems," says Heinzerling. " There's a growing body of evidence that shows ending addiction potentially reduces health care costs. People who abuse substances often end up in the emergency room or hospital." Clearly, it's cheaper in the long run to help them get off the substances.
"It's critical that we have collaboration with companies and NIDA," says Heinzerling, but to date, few companies have shown an interest in developing medications that might help combat substance abuse. MediciNova has the understanding of the drug's mechanisms combined with "the vision and courage" needed to stay with the research and approval process, according to Heinzerling. "
A condition such as meth abuse could be considered similar to an orphan disease treatment since pharmaceutical companies don't want to devote resources to it.
With few exceptions, the private sector isn't investing in drug addiction research. Heinzerling's colleagues at the UCLA center are also studying Chantix's (varenicline) usefulness in helping methamphetamine dependent people. (Chantix is already FDA approved for smoking cessation. It is believed to work by blocking some of the brain's nicotine systems and stimulating the release of small amounts of dopamine.)
How Ibudilast Might Work on Methamphetamine Addiction
Methamphetamine and other stimulants cause an inflammatory reposes – they "ramp up" the immune system, says Heinzerling. Meth use use interferes with glial cell secretions associated with the inflammatory response. When glial cells are activated they secrete chemical messengers that disperse and affect neurons and other cells. Ibudilast interferes with the glial cell response and may help keep the inflammatory response in better balance.
In petri dishes, ibudilast increases the secretion of glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), a growth factor that the brain secretes in response to injury. Researchers believe GDNF could also help counteract the toxic affects of methamphetamine.
Unlike some other drugs used to replace one addictive drug for another (such as methadone for heroin) ibudilast shows no evidence of dependency or addiction, says Heizerling. There's no "high" associated with it.
When withdrawing from meth, users go into a "fog." They have a lower attention span and lack of focus that can last several months or a year while abstaining. Because ibudilast is believed to modulate the glial cell response, people withdrawing from meth may not feel the withdrawal effects quite so deeply. The goal is to help them feel good enough to stick with a course of therapy while their body returns to balance, says Heinzerling.
Heinzerling cautions that patients battling substance abuse will not find a medication that acts as a "silver bullet" for their treatment. Medication can help but does not do the work for the patient.

I understand we'll probably lose Butler, but we have Michael Johnson and Phillips, who should be at least a solid safety duo.
We have much bigger needs at WR (depending on Plax), SLB, TE and OL depth. Safety should rank below each of those.
Regarding the FA signings, it's not inconceivable that one of the D-lineman will go on IR during the pre season. It happened last year to Osi. Even if not, we'll have the 'freshest' D-line in football, and with the talent we have there, it's probably the best too.
But if a player has to be cut/traded, hopefully JR can trade him to at least get something in return. Would Robbins, a WR (Moss, Manningham, Smith) and our early 2nd rounder get Boldin?

'80s soft rock songs may not be the decade's primary calling card, as the golden age of the form undoubtedly came during the mid to late '70s, when the sensitive singer-songwriter movement and the propensity of country rock and folk rock blends combined to forge a gentle pop/rock sound quite popular among mainstream music fans. However, this trend also extended successfully into the first few years of the '80s, in a brief period just before the lighter side of rock became dominated by either a more modern, smooth adult contemporary sound or the power ballads of arena rock and hair metal.
1. Little River Band - "Take It Easy on Me"
2. Ambrosia - "You're the Only Woman"
You may scoff, but it's genuinely difficult to choose between Ambrosia's pair of powerhouse 1980 hits for this list, so much so that I don't think I can talk about the charms of one without discussing the other. "Biggest Part of Me" came first, climbing to No. 3 on the pop charts on the crest of irresistible melodies and heartfelt romantic sentiments that could melt the callused heart of a felonious drifter if accompanied by the warm, soft glow of candlelight: "Make a wish, baby, and I will make it come true." Lead singer and songwriter David Pack scores in a big way as well on "You're the Only Woman," crooning out slowly building, reassuring verse lyrics that ultimately merge into an exhilaratingly convincing chorus of devotion.
3. Toto - "I Won't Hold You Back"
4. Jackson Browne - "Tender Is the Night"
5. Steve Forbert - "Romeo's Tune"
Part of my purpose in compiling this list is to try and remove the unshakable stigma that has always plagued music fans' impressions of soft rock. A good way to do that is to spotlight some of the most respected artists who have released brilliant songs within the genre, and that is certainly the case here. On the strength of a long career that has always been difficult to classify, Forbert has remained a vital member of the singer-songwriter fraternity. But this 1980 song, one of his only efforts to flirt with the Billboard pop Top 10, bears all the marks of the best soft rock in its delicate melody and tender lyrics: "Meet me in the middle of the day, let me hear you say everything's okay, bring me southern kisses from your room."
6. Don Henley - "Not Enough Love in the World"
7. Howard Jones - "No One Is to Blame"
8. America - "You Can Do Magic"
One of the most consistent and impressive soft rock artists of the '70s had its primary '80s moment in the sun with this song, a model example of the melodic pleasures and silky smooth production common to the form. However, whereas the version of America that defined the '70s specialized in a folky, earthy sort of soft rock, the '80s version as demonstrated on this track truly hit the jackpot by combining the synthesizer sounds of the new decade with electric guitar. The experiment could have been a disaster and doomed the group's comeback, but the nearly faultless Russ Ballard songwriting on display here (with the exception of the use of the word "darn" in the chorus) forces this tune to the very top of the heap of latter-day soft rock.
9. Glenn Frey - "The One You Love"
Even beyond this song's pitch-perfect use of one of soft rock's most ill-treated and overexposed instruments - the saxophone - it deserves ample credit for taking the concept of melodic and lovelorn pop to entirely new heights in 1982. There's something far more elegant about this tune than the similar but less moving adult contemporary that followed, and its tone simply perfects the early-'80s soft rock sound. As a writer of melodies, Frey is in top form here, but even better, his vocal performance and precise arrangement make a genuine claim of legitimacy for the often-maligned genre. A line like "When you remember those nights in his arms, you know you gotta make up your mind" has few peers in the history of rock-tinged easy listening.

Good Monday morning!
So I'm brand new to Field Gulls, but I'm a long time Twitter follower of Davis, Danny and the rest of the gang. I'm an aspiring blogger/writer myself, and this seems like a perfect place for me to help get jumpstarted.
Please check out my site at TheSeattleSlew.com , and let me know what you think. A season ticket holder since 07.... I'm debating whether to go super-analytical, a la Davis Hsu, or keep it pretty high level and light hearted. Right now I feel like kind of a tweener.
Anyway for my first fanpost, I thought I would just give a few quick hitters about my takeaways from the game. I've watched this game multiple times now, in slow-mo, and from the gift of God that is NFL Rewind....and here's some of my findings:
-Russell Wilson is just so damn good. Fantasy geeks be damned. Nuff said.
-If we had JJ Watt on our line, I might be buying tickets to New York already by now.
-Having said that-most underrated performance yesterday IMO, goes to Chris Clemons. I know our feeling after the game was that we didn't get enough pressure, but after reviewing the game in detail, CC was constantly in the backfield in Schaub's face. He officially had only one sack, but the pressures, hurries, and running assignments were second to none.
-Schaub will get a lot of blame, and the narrative might be the Hawks were "lucky" across the nation, but I would hope we all know the truth: Schaub was killing us the entire game, and while he had one ill advised throw, truth is he was a big reason they were up to begin with. Texans would be stupid to bench him now.
-If the Hawks go 3-3 on the road from here on out, we are 13-3 and likely looking at home field throughout the playoffs. Let's not undersell the importance of this win.
-Glad Bennett seems to be okay. He also kept the game from getting worse in the first half....he would be a big loss if he's seriously hurt.
-Seahawks need to dial up more blitzes IMO. I counted 7 blitzes in the game, and here are the results: Incomplete, short gain, short gain, incomplete, incomplete, incomplete, sack, and then of course the shoeless INT where Kam came off the edge. Let's not leave the LOB out to dry like that again.
-Sorry but I enjoy reading Niners Nation tweets just to see what they say about it. I love how it went from the Hawks are terrible on the road, to how big of a choke job the Texans are. If I'm them, I wouldn't downplay or disrespect the team that could very well come into their house and give them a beating. To me, the Texans looked damned good.
-We're halfway to Percy land.
All for now-again please check out my blog and let me know what you think. Go Hawks!

Jayson Werth: Not So Fabulous
The great Jeff Pearlman also has a long-standing history of speaking out against the whirlwind of dickishness that is Jayson Werth. In fact, his lede in this piece is "If you've read this blog before, you know Jayson Werth is one of my least-favorite professional athletes. He's one of those guys who, for some odd reason, thinks that holding an ill-fitting leather glove and wearing red-and-white pajamas to work gives him the right to crap on people" and goes from there.

Math Majoring, Career, and Insecurity
View Single Post
Feb23-05, 04:06 PM
Honestly, I have found all my university math classes to be a joke. They are simply way too easy. All the professors are too scared to give hard exams because of the student evaluation forms at the end of the year. The only challenging math classes I have taken are the independent study courses I have taken. My highschool AP calc class was BY FAR the hardest math class that I have taken that was taught by someone, the averages on the exams were 60 and below. My highschool calc teacher won awards from the white house for excellence in math teaching maybe thats why? I'm pretty sure that almost every single year my highschool calc teacher taught AP calc, everyone who took AP Calc scored 5 on the AP exam. I should post some of the questions from my highschool calc exams, then everyone would see what a real test on Calc I and Calc II looks like.

Buy These Large-Cap Stocks for Sustainable Income
Anh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Following the recent article relating to the search for large cap dividend stocks, which have a record of paying sustainable dividends with decent yields, this article will unveil three more stocks with the similar screening criteria but a bit lower standard in terms of growth and yield. The screen has been run with five main criteria: (1) a minimum 10 years of historical dividends, (2) market cap more than $10 billion, (3) dividend yield is at least 3%, (4) payout ratio is at maximum 50%, and (5) the 10-year dividend growth is at least 5%. We have discovered Intel, Lockheed Martin and AstraZeneca in the previous posts, and we will discover three more in this article. Interestingly, those 3 companies are based outside of the US.
Bank of Montreal (NYSE: BMO), or BMO Financial Group, has nearly two centuries of operation in the financial services area. It is considered to be the second largest Canadian bank in terms of number of branches in North America. As of fourth quarter 2012, BMO had a total $532 billion in total assets and $328.3 billion in total deposits, with 1,571 branches. The majority of BMO's net income was from personal and commercial banking, of $3.92 billion, accounting for 61% of the total net income. BMO is reported to have the longest dividend payment record in any company in Canada, of 184 years. In the last 10 years, the dividend payment has grown from $1.33 in 2003 to $2.86 in 2011, marking annualized growth of nearly 8% for the last 10 years. Currently, BMO is trading at $60.86 per share, with a total market capitalization of more than $39.6 billion. The current dividend yield is 4.6%, with the payout ratio of nearly 46%.
Royal Bank of Canada (NYSE: RY) is the largest bank in Canada with operations in 51 countries and 15 million clients worldwide. As of fourth quarter 2012, the bank had around $836 billion in assets and nearly $515 billion in deposits. Like BMO, the majority of its earnings were from personal and commercial banking, accounting for 56% of total earnings in 2012. The bank has reported that it has a target of payout ratio in the range of 40%-50%. Since 2010, it has had a payout ratio of less than 50%. The dividend has grown from $0.85 in 2003 to $2.31 in 2012, marking a growth of more than 10.5%. Currently, Royal Bank of Canada is trading at $59.82 per share, with the total market capitalization of $86.46 billion. The dividend yield is 3.8%, with the current payout ratio of 46%.
Total SA (NYSE: TOT) is a French oil and gas corporation with the operation in more than 130 countries, including the exploration and production operations in more than 40 countries. Total SA is considered to be the fifth largest publicly traded oil and gas company globally, with nearly $243 billion in revenue in 2011. As of December 2011, Total SA reported to have 11.4 billion BOE in its proved reserves. For the last 10 years, Total SA has paid consistent dividends, from $1 per share in 2002 to $2.51 per share in 2011, marking 10-year annualized growth of more than 9.6%. The current payout ratio is only 40.9%. The company is trading at $50.86 per share, with a total market capitalization of $114.82 billion. The dividend yield is quite decent at 5%.
Foolish Bottom Line
All those three companies mentioned above are having market-leading positions in the field they are operating in. In addition, they are paying sustainable dividends with reasonable payout ratios and decent yields to shareholders. Income investors might choose all three to be in their long-term income portfolios.
hoangquocanh has no positions in the stocks mentioned above. The Motley Fool has no positions in the stocks mentioned above. Motley Fool newsletter services recommend Total SA. (ADR).

Todd "MJ" Schnitt responds to lawsuit loss to Bubba the Love Sponge Clem
TAMPA - Radio personality Todd "MJ" Schnitt invited the bay area media into the WFLA studios Thursday afternoon to answer questions about his defamation lawsuit loss to Bubba the Love Sponge Clem.
Schnitt began with a defiant monologue on Wednesday's verdict.
"I've had better days. I was disappointed," he said. "I respect the jury's verdict. But, I'm still allowed to disagree with the verdict, and I do."
Schnitt claimed he would "do this all over again."
He said while he felt he was fair game for Bubba on all levels, his wife, Michelle, was not. He added he suffered most over the verbal attacks he said was aimed at her. He waved off claims that his wife was fair game.
Schnitt argued that Clem's comments "...went beyond free speech. It was defamation."
On Wednesday, alternate juror Alana Wilshire summed it up this way: "I don't think they were able to prove defamation, in my opinion," she said. "I think anybody that runs and cries and hides in their house because someone called them a name kind of needs to grow up, you know, develop a thicker skin."
After being asked to respond to a criticism that he needs to put his "big girl panties on and get over this," Schnitt intimated that it didn't bother him in the least and that he does have "thick skin."
ABC Action News Reporter Carson Chambers asked, "People have said this is a waste of tax payer money. How do you respond to that?"
Schnitt said that's what people have heard and that's what they believe.

I've decided that I'm a bit bored of the whole putting a beta tag on various versions of the Disruptor so I've decide to send forth Disruptor 3.0.0 into the world. The big challenges of this release were to clean up the code and come up with a better algorithm for handling multiple producers. If I was lucky, make it even faster. I went down a couple of dark alleys initially with this release, but have come up again for air with a version that is less different to the 2.x version, but still brings some nice benefits. I had wanted to implement a few more functional tests and improve the documentation, but I could be waiting forever to those aspects to a level where I was 100% satisfied.
Improved Support for Multiple Producers
No More Claim Strategies
Faster for the Single Producer Case
Improved EventTranslator API for the RingBuffer
Batch Producer Interface for the Sequencer
Special Mentions
- Jason Koch: Manned up and did a huge amount of JavaDoc. I've been trying to keep it up to date since I merged his pull request.
- Dalibor Novak and Danny Yates: Github and Gradle migration.
- Adrian Sutton: Further work on the DSL.
- Martin Thompson: For his many useful ideas, especially around the algorithm to support multiple producers.

By Ashley Conroy - email
RANKIN COUNTY (WLBT) - It was a proud day Thursday for 53men and women from all over Mississippi.
The Mississippi Law Enforcement Officer Training Academy (MLEOTA) held it's 230th graduation since 1967.
However, it was the first time the MLEOTA allowed "self-sponsored" recruits to enter the 10-week training course.
"I was unsure of what to expect when I came out here, but I am so thankful that they gave me the opportunity," said Sam Howard of Jackson.
Howard has a background as a fireman and was a criminal justice major in college, but he knew he always wanted to go into law enforcement.
"I have learned so much in the past 10 weeks, and I am very grateful for it," Howard said.
The other graduate, Donald Bryant of Byhalia, also has always had a passion for law enforcement.
He is currently an electrical engineer and has traveled all over the Middle East for work. When he first heard of this opportunity, he didn't want to pass it up.
"If you have a real passion for it, it's worth every penny. It's worth it," Bryant said.
Bryant also hopes to set an example for future "self-sponsored" recruits who choose to enter the program.
"Us self-sponsored graduates are setting the pace for other self-sponsored graduates that are coming in to the academy," he said.
Assistant Director Thomas Tuggle said they do plan to continue the self-sponsored status looking for new recruits.
"These two individuals were very successful, and that's something we're going to continue," said Thomas.
Tuggle said the reason MLEOTA decided to pursue this measure was because of the large strain on some departments to hire new officers.
"We decided to open up the doors for somebody who has the money, has the means to pay for an education," said Tuggle.
Additionally, this was the first class to have 15 females. Tuggle said he hopes this trend will continue as more and more women are signing up for law enforcement.
The program costs $3,000 and self-sponsored recruits are responsible for any workman's compensation claims that may result from the training.
The next training course starts in July, and another one will begin in September.
The number for the academy is (601) 933-2100 for those interested and its web site is under the Mississippi Department of Public Safety at www.dps.state.ms.us.

In the beginning of his book, Why Small Groups?, C.J. Mahaney makes a bold statement:
"A church following a biblical model will not just have small groups. It will not merely "offer" small groups. Rather, it will be built with small groups."
Through the last several years, the Grace leadership became convinced that developing small groups was crucial to the health and growth of Grace Baptist Church. The goal of these small groups is to strengthen community, discover spiritual gifts, develop leaders, apply Biblical truth, and influence the neighboring world around us through living life together.
Grace Growth Groups (3G Network) are small groups scattered throughout Cape Coral and the surrounding cities where the Grace family gathers to study God's Word and fellowship together. The 3G Network reflects how the church is scattered throughout the region to reach into each others lives through genuine sharing and reach out through hospitality and the loving embrace of neighbors, friends, and coworkers.
Our groups are currently meeting at 6PM on all but the last Sunday of the month, in the folowing 7 locations across SW FL:
SE Cape Coral - 3713 SE 3rd Place, 33904 (Leader- Kyle Baker)
SW Cape Coral - 1136 42nd Street, 33991 (Leader- Brett Miller)
Central Cape Coral - 1710 SW 12th Lane, 33991 (Leader- Fred Catton)
NE Cape Coral - 1819 SE 8th Terrace, 33990 (Leader- Frankie Hamm)
NW Cape Coral - 2528 NW 20th Place, 33993 (Leader- Steve Tate)
North Fort Myers - 7880 Deni Drive, 33917 (Leader- John Swaska)
Punta Gorda - 26146 Stillwater Circle, 33955 (Leader- Don Kiah)
Hispanic Group - 250 SE 44th Street, 33904 (Leader- Marcos Perez)

Marilyn Roossinck, Ph.D.
- Ph.D., University of Colorado School of Medicine
Areas of Interest:
Our focus in the Roossinck lab is on virus-plant and virus-fungus-plant interactions in virus evolution and ecology.
We use Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) as a model virus for experimental evolution studies, including generation and maintenance of quasispecies, rates of recombination, and polymerase fidelity.
We are interested in how plants use viruses in adaptation to extreme environments. Fungal viruses are involved in plants adapting to geothermal soils in Yellowstone National Park, and acute plant viruses confer drought and cold tolerance to plants. We are studying the mechanisms of these interactions.
We are interested in the biodiversity of plant viruses. We are studying viruses in wild plants in Costa Rica using next-gen sequence analysis of viral RNA from individual plants. To date we have collected about 14,000 plants and have analyzed about half of them.
Dr. Roossinck is teaching a newly developed course in Virus Ecology in the Fall semester (PPEM 454)

Yet another new judge is assigned to the re-sentencing hearing of Stacey Rambold. District 13 Judge Mary Jane Knisely says District 14 Judge Randal Spaulding has now been assigned to the sentencing.
Judge George W. Huss was selected for Rambold's re-sentencing last week but Judge Knisely says he's now recused himself.
All the district judges in District 13 recused themselves from the re-sentencing last week. In April the Montana Supreme Court vacated the 30-day sentence Judge G. Todd Baugh gave Rambold for raping a 14-year old student. No date is set yet for the re-sentencing.

I was watching highlights of our confetti parade tonight on the news and saw a cool UCLA license plate, it said "SPANK SC" I have a couple myself, and it made me start thinking about the rest of you that may have UCLA personalized plates.
I'll start with my two:
On my car the license plate says "USC H8R"
On my dad's truck the license plate says "HATE USC"
Anybody else have any UCLA personalized plates?
Anyway, I need to fill out the 200 word minimum so I am just going to ramble on. I really think we have a chance this year, but then again I thought the same last year. All we can do is hope and pray (for the spiritual fans) that Karl Dorrell has our boys prepared and ready to go. SUCk is beatable, it was proven a few weeks ago by a team we beat. We can do this. I hope everyone wears blue on Saturday and everyone is louder than they have ever been in their entire lives. Booty can be rattled and it's up to us, the 12th man, this Saturday to get into his head early. Upset special on Saturday.

The serenity deck was conveniently located next to the ships horn and the annoying lido deck. So if your idea of relaxing is listening to a bad version of the macarena and bearing the 150 decimal horn be my guest. Then theirs Carl with a K, he'll come over the intercom every 30 minutes to tell you to come to one sales pitch or another or to remind you those overpriced excursions you can buy for half price right outside the ports are almost sold out. I felt like i was in a week long time share sells pitch.
the gym is staffed with more people then guest using the equipment, but try asking them for help or knowledge of the equipment, their useless. The room service is a crap shoot whither it will come or not. The guest services staff dont seem to speak or understand english very well. overall just lower your expectations, bring some beef jerky, and look forward to the destinations.. Because this thing is just like a greyhound bus. Transportation and thats it. Some advice.#1 The turtle tour in Barbados can be had for nothing, just bring a snorkel and grab a cab to the nearest beach, thats where they are feeding the turtles. #2 "self assist" your luggage in debarkation, or you'll be waiting till doomsday, otherwise you can be off before 8;30 am and see all of old San Juan before noon...#3 in st.kitts do not take the tour with DUke of Earl... Good luck and enjoy the "tater salad"

Uncertainty principle
my concern is, that there is a huge amount of equations that are somehow related to the uncertainty principle and it is not straightforwardly obvious to me, when i have to use which of them.
let me put it this way: as far as i see, there is this overall applicable equation that says
ΔxΔp ≥ h/(4π)
but for instance, my schoolbook proposes the relation ΔxΔp=h/2, when they talk about the uncertainty of a single slit diffraction pattern that is made with electrons, where they regard Δx as half the slit-width and Δp as the x-deflection of the electron in units of momentum, that it needs to reach the first minimum. it appears to me, that this approach is extremely arbitrary and now there are lots of excercises, where they e.g. say that by using light, Δx is half the coherence length of light and use the same relation.
and now i found an excercise, where they assume that the uncertainty of an electron in a hydrogen atom is about 10^(-10) m, and ask for the uncertainty in momentum.
the solution to this excercise is easily derived from the assumption that ΔxΔp≈h<---but where does this come from? how do i get this?
so my question is, how do i find the appropriate relation to the given problem?
sorry about my english...
Re: Uncertainty principle
english is great!!!
Some background here:
Your schoolbok equation appears as #2 (except with "h bar" instead of h):
The overall Wikipedia discussion is, I think, a good one.
If you care enough to see several in this forum argue check out this long discussion:(maybe look at the first page and last page for conclusions)
what is it about position and momentum that forbids knowing both quantities at once?
Re: Uncertainty principle
I agree that your English is fine!
In order to calculate the uncertainty exactly you must know the corresponding wavefunction. Not knowing the wavefunction for a given experiment, we make an educated guess by assuming that the uncertainty in position will be comparable to the size of the slit, or of the atom. That is what your textbook, like many others, does.
The true expression is [tex]\Delta x\Delta p \ge \hbar /2.[/tex].
Best wishes
Re: Uncertainty principle
okay, thanks to you two!
so, deciding whether one has to use an equation like ΔxΔp=h/2 or ΔxΔp=h, which are probably in most cases also inappropriate, is impossible, if the actual wavefunction of the underlying experiment is not known. thus, maybe the guys who wrote this book calculated the actual uncertainty by using this more elaborated structure of quantum mechanics and gave us these equations, so that we could get an impression of the dimension of uncertainty in these experiments? ergo, one would have to calculate the uncertainty by using the mathematical apparatus of quantum mechanics in order to get it right? is this what you meant?
Re: Uncertainty principle
What we call the quantum uncertainty is called the standard deviation in classical statistics. If we repeatedly measure the position in a given experiment we get a statistical distribution of all possible results. That statistical distribution of those results is given by [tex]\left| {\psi (x)} \right|^2 [/tex] and the position uncertainty is defined as
[tex]\Delta x = \sqrt {\left\langle \psi \right|\left. {\left. {x^2 } \right|\psi } \right\rangle - \left| {\left\langle \psi \right|\left. {\left. x \right|\psi } \right\rangle } \right|^2 } [/tex]. Thus, we must know the wavefunction in order to make these calculations.
Best wishes
Re: Uncertainty principle
thank you, that was exactly what i wanted to know.

A word from Red Cat
This Old Chelsea food hall is a New York original. The Red Cat's combination of come-as-you-are sensibilities and straightforward, satisfying, and occasionally irreverent cuisine instantly establish the restaurant as a favorite with New York diners. Andy Xu runs the kitchen that's become famous for
such whimsical creations as Reuben Wontons with Red Cabbage Slaw and Pan Roasted Cod with Flageolets, Moroccan Olives, Oranges and Basil Oil. Such dishes only add to the restaurant's mystique as a place for all seasons, styles and spirits. As Frank Bruni wrote in the New York Times "The Red Cat feels vaguely colonial and tavern like, except when it feels downtown-gallery cool, and apart from those moments when it feels modestly and eclectically elegant."
If you are unable to book online, please call us directly and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Diner Reviews
We saw good reviews and decided to
give Red Cat a try after our walk on the Highline. What a nice surprise! The food was seasonal, fresh, and delicious. Our wait staff couldn't have been nicer. All in all, we had a wonderful dinner."
Dined on 8/24/2014
I guess it won't be hidden after
this but....nestled downstairs in a brownstone between 22nd and 23rd Street, one could easily pass it by. Don't. It's a lovely, exposed-brick design that feels warm and cozy. The wait staff is highly attentive but not intrusive. My shrimp tacos were great, and my friend's watermelon salad looked enticing. The bathroom is clean and lovely. What more can you ask?"
Dined on 8/24/2014
we were a group of 5 and had a
very nice experience there. it has the feeling of a small neighborhood restaurant. we enjoyed a drink at the bar and then had a good meal. three of us ordered the scallop special and while it was very good we all felt like we could have eaten a portion twice as large. the bib lettuce salad was good except the cherries (which we thought would be fresh cherries) were clearly pickled or seasoned in such a way that they had a very strong and unpleasant taste to me."
Dined on 8/23/2014
In many restaurants today, the
appetizers outshine the entrees. At redcat, the delicate appetizers are a perfect warmup to perfect prepared meats, fish and pastas - Pork chop was a standout, perfectly juicy chicken, excellent tilefish... and dont miss the fries"
Dined on 8/19/2014
Lunch was imaginative and
delicious. My salad was a combination of fresh vegetables and ripe, delicious fruit with dressing that complemented the ingredients. I had the best, freshest bibb lettuce and goat cheese salad with cherries and a roasted lemon vinaigrette. My friends were very happy with grilled chicken topped with salad and heirloom tomato salad. We shared green beans in a very light tempura with an amazing mustard dipping sauce. We were very happy and can't wait to return to Red Cat for lunch, dinner or brunch."
Dined on 8/19/2014
I always eat too much but am
always satisfied. Those tempura green beans are still the best."
Dined on 8/18/2014
I have been to the RC many many
times. This was the worst service I have ever had. We had to flag our waiter at least 6 times through the course of the meal. It was as if we were not there or invisible we had to ask him to take our dinner order. We ordered wine with dinner. He brought the glasses and we selected the wine, but he never returned to pour the wine for us. At one point even he admitted his service was terrible and apologized. This was inconsistent with the RC. But it needs to be mentioned. I don't know if they were short staffed on Sunday. It was not a good experience"
Dined on 8/17/2014
We had a great evening at The Red
Cat. Service was great, not pushy. They provided great food recommendations, and were very helpful with all of our questions. We weren't rushed, and will definitely return."
Dined on 8/16/2014
Red Cat continues to not
disappoint!!! Food was delicious. I had the oysters then skate - yum! Potatoe mash was delish. I've been eating here for 10+ years and have no plans to stop."

Enjoyed a wonderful anniversary
dinner with my fiance at Red Cat. Service was absolutely outstanding and the food was excellent. It's a beautiful space - great for couples or a group. And I really just cannot say enough about the service. All of the waiters, bartenders and hostesses were terrific. A very special place that I plan on going back to, and suggesting all friends and family go as well!"
Dined on 8/15/2014
We came for the Restaurant Week
specials, unsure what to expect, and were quite pleasantly surprised. The drinks were imaginative and potent--never had a white Negroni--and the service was attentive without being obsequious. Though we arrived early, we were ushered to a table as soon as one became available. Though the restaurant was clearly quite busy, our waiter gave us prompt attention. The filet mignon steak tartare was succulent; the bluefish one of the best pieces I've had in years. The yogurt panna cotta was refreshingly tart. I intend to come back here."
Dined on 8/15/2014
This is one of my favorite
restaurants in Chelsea. It was a hot spot with a consistent, inventive chef well before the Highline sprung up out front. Standards like zucchini with fresh pecorino outshine it's seemingly simple ingredients. My Restaurant Week bluefish was perfectly cooked and generously portioned. The exquisite ice cream sandwich again impressed despite its simple name."
Dined on 8/15/2014
We went for lunch and ate odd the
restaurant week menu. The food was really good and our waiter was super nice."
Dined on 8/14/2014
First time at Red Cat for lunch,
usually it's dinner. Lovely summer lunch menu, the freshest ingredients presented artistically. Everyone seems to know how good dinner is here; lunch should be added to anyone's list."
Dined on 8/13/2014
Went to Red Cat for restaurant
week. I ordered off the restaurant week menu (corn soup, blue fish, cherry ice cream sandwich). All courses were fantastic. My date ordered off the regular menu and had the Cavatelli app, pork chop main. He loved the cavatelli but though the pork was seasoned nicely the piece of meat he got was a bit too fatty, may also have been due to ordering it done medium per the chef's recommenation. Aside from that the dish was great. The service was great all around. Very attentive staff from the sommelier to the manager to the hostess, bread guy etc.he sommelier in training/hostess were friendly welcoming and offered some great tips on the wine menu without pressure to buy. cocktails/wine list superb."
Dined on 8/8/2014
Great food and service. Our waiter
was outstanding, terrific personality, knowledgeable and very friendly!"
Dined on 8/8/2014
Appealing menu on the whole, with
specials that will catch your ear. My party went with the restaurant week menu and all were pleased, especially with the cherry vanilla ice cream sandwich- Ben and Jerry can't touch that. Wine list is also very approachable with regards to both price and variety. I would definitely recommend to visitors and New Yorkers alike."
Dined on 8/7/2014
Had a lovely meal yet again. Good
choices on menu..started with the filet mignon tartare, was a bit surprised when ii arrived because I read tartare but was thinking carpacchio! Have ever only had beef tartare in Europe, nicely spiced and tasty for first USA tartare! Next was beautifully prepamed blue fish with good mashed potatoes and succotash. The dessert, cherry vanilla ice cream sandwich, was simply divine..only sorry I could not finish! Wish there was a Red Cat type place on the UES!"
Dined on 8/7/2014
We had the Restaurant Week menu
and drinks. Good cocktails. Food was well prepared and tasty but not amazing hence 4 stars. Service was cordial and well paced."
Dined on 8/4/2014
It has been some years since I ate
at the Red Cat but it remains as excellent a dining experience as I remembered. Ate during Restaurant Week and truly enjoyed the chilled corn soup and the blue fish. Attentive service and quiet room make it a terrific spot for a business lunch."
Dined on 8/4/2014
Went for the first time. The only
criticism was that the service was a little rushed and the noise level was high. Food was fabulous, staff was great. Would definitely go again."
Dined on 8/2/2014
Ate here during restaurant week
but opted to order off the regular menu. The zucchini appetizer was different and delicious. Steak was amazing but a little over cooked. The tempura green beans are a must if you dine here. Enjoyed this restaurant because they serve dishes that I can't make myself. Wait staff was on efficient and very knowledge about the food and wine."
Dined on 8/1/2014
I went during Restaurant Week but
would definitely go back. It looks like they try to do different things with their food and the wait staff was excellent. A great dining experience."
Dined on 8/1/2014
Everything is so so, not as good
as before. We ordered from both the Restaurant Week specials and the regular menu. Food is very ordinary, presentation is better than diner food. But taste is not, for most dished. There are very few exceptionally dishes. Not worth a special trip."
Dined on 8/1/2014
Went for restaurant week, but
ended up ordering from regular menu since the RW menu didn't look so good. There were four of us, with each ordering different app, entrees and desserts. We all thought it was just ok and a bit underwhelming given the rave reviews."
Dined on 7/31/2014
The Red Cat's cozy dining room is
lively, yet quiet enough for conversation. The service is warm and attentive and the food is terrific."
Dined on 7/30/2014
Two of us had restaurant week
specials. The apps and desserts were very good but the chicken salad was dry and tasteless. The maître d offered to replace them. We declined so $20 was taken off the bill. The 2 a la carte dishes were good. But it's too noisy there."
Dined on 7/29/2014
Great for a working lunch! Food
and service was exceptional and managed to eat a 3-course lunch (restaurant week menu) in under an hour."

I have been coming to Red Cat now
for over three years. Every time I come to New York, I make it a point to reserve a table. This place has a fantastic wait staff with full knowledge of the food and wine. You will not go wrong by coming to dine here for any occasion. Bon appetite!"
Dined on 7/23/2014
Had dinner here. Food is terrific
(corn soup, fluke appetizer, bluefish and salmon were standouts). But dessert was so so--we had the Cherries Garcia ice cream sandwich--only modest flavor, especially the chocolate cookie, but the fresh cherry & hot fudge garnish were great-should have been the whole dessert! Service was excellent--our server was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, though it was busy and she sometimes did not appear as quickly as we'd have liked. Decor is fun with art on the walls and old-style gas lamp heads as overhead lights. As other note, the tables are a bit too close together & the banquettes too soft (so you sink a bit). Worst is the noise. It's painfully loud when the place is full--they really should add dampers!"

The fish and soup were unique and
inspired. Thoroughly enjoyed the gourmet lunch."

Good to find a place with creative
but excellent food combinations, not heavy and blend well together. Excellent friendly service and none of the typical American pushiness. Only downside is the noise level but that seems typical in any place in NYC"

Not that Red Cat isn't also a
great destination spot. Always reliable, excellent food and very hospitable staff. Can't say enough good things about this place.)"

The food was good and the menu was
inventive but $11 for a glass of wine was a bit mean. In honor of restaurant week perhaps an appropriate discount on the wine selection would be welcome."

Their restaurant week menu was
excellent and gave a good intro to the rest of their menu. For that reason I would go back. Our goal was to spend time on the High line and visit galleries and the restaurant is perfectly situated. The service was wonderful and didn't discriminate against us even tho we were there for the special restaurant week menu."
Dined on 7/22/2014
Four of us dined at the Red Cat on
Monday evening. We were seated promptly at our reservation time. The food couldn't have been better, fresher or more creative in terms of side dishes. The bordeaux wine we ordered was wonderful, reasonably priced, and went perfectly with the food. We had several fruit-based desserts--all were outstanding, with everyone wanting to taste each dessert. Red Cat has two specialty coffees, but even the basic house coffee was rich and strong. The service was friendly and professional, the wine poured out unobtrusively when glasses had emptied. How many times can you say this--a joy from beginning to end!"

VIDEO: Baby owls being nursed at rescue centre after falling from their nests
Updated 4:55pm Tuesday 10th June 2014 in News By Gayle McDonald
A BROOD of baby owls are regaining their strength at an animal rescue centre in Dorset after falling from their nests and becoming separated from their mothers.
The five tawny owls are undergoing flying lessons and learning how to break up food at the Dorset Wildlife Rescue Centre in Lytchett Matravers.
Sarah Boswell, who runs the centre with her partner Chris Easton, said: "This year, along with the usual influx of fox cubs, hedgehogs and ducklings, we have had our first tawny owlets in four years.
"We're not sure if this is due to high winds or just a coincidence but four arrived to us within a week."
At around 20 days old owls start hopping between branches and testing their wings, known as branching, but sometimes the chicks fall and are unable to get back to their nests.
It's thought most of the owlets were branching when they fell and became separated from their mothers.
Ms Boswell said: "We try to encourage people to leave them if they can because sometimes they can climb up the tree or the mothers come and feed them but this isn't always the case."
When the owls are strong enough and able to catch food for themselves they will be released back into the wild.
In preparation for their release Eric, Nell, Callan, Sam and Nate have been learning how to fly and fend for themselves.
Mrs Boswell said: "Chris is teaching them how to fly in our hallway.
"Initially we were feeding them all by hand with cut up mice, but after 24 hours they were taking them whole.
"Within five days, all the owlets preferred us to leave the mice for them to eat on their own."

Guys & Girls:
Many students come from privileged and sheltered backgrounds; their first priority certainly isn't school
Guys & Girls:
Guys are very attractive, very preppy, and very athletic. They party and drink a lot, and there is a huge hook-up culture. Less than 5% of the student body is in a relationship. There is a "work hard play hard" mindset - people party hard but they also care about their grades.
Guys & Girls:
People generally seem to stick with their own crowd here. I love getting to know new people, but when I came to college I found those from different backgrounds didn't branch out as much, so I feel like i rarely find friends that are different from me, which means I never really get to learn anything new.
Guys & Girls:
Bucknell is known for having a beautiful student body. Most students are very preppy, and you'll never go a day without seeing something from Patagonia or Vineyard Vines. There are of course some stuck up people, especially when you take into account the greek life, but it's rare.
Guys & Girls:
The people are great, but as a freshman guy things can get complicated. It's a normal occurrence for the older guys to try to push around younger guys.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Jen Adams
It's no secret—Bucknell has an unnatural amount of "really, really, ridiculously good-looking" people. (There was actually a Bucknell T-shirt made with that line on the back!) Most students are very conscious about health and fashion and care about their physical appearance, but they also seem to have a certain amount of natural hotness that can't come from the gym or make-up or the right clothes. Even if every girl or guy at Bucknell is not gorgeous, many still are able to project the idea that they are. The downside to having a good-looking student body is that some students, specifically girls, are overly confident in the fact that they are attractive, which makes them appear stuck-up. Also, the fact that Bucknellians are attractive and care about their appearance can have a negative impact on students, such as girls who frequently feel the need to go tanning and/or engage in unhealthy dieting. As with many college campuses around the country, the issue of eating disorders is prevalent.
There was a rumor that Playboy once ranked Bucknell third on a list of college campuses with the hottest girls, but Bucknell women have much more going for them than that. Girls and guys at Bucknell worked hard to get where they are and continue to work hard to stay where they are. Even though a guy may sometimes act like a frat guy from Animal House or a girl may display behavior reminiscent of Girls Gone Wild, everybody is an intellectual with ambitions and passions outside of the party scene. Come Monday morning, the guy you saw funneling three beers before he smashed the empty cans flat against his forehead raises his hand in politics class to share his views. The typical Bucknellian truly does lead a balanced life between the academic and the social. And if they don't, they eventually experience the consequences.

Britney Spears will reportedly not be returning to X Factor USA for the next season according to reports in the US, as she wants to concentrate on re-building her music career.
The blonde was a huge hit on the second season of the show alongside fellow newbie Demi Lovato, but the former teen idol wants out as is putting all her efforts instead into her eighth album, TMZ reports.
While many X Factor exits have reportedly been down to judges clashing with each other or with producers, it seems Britter's choice has been purely professional and there are no bad feelings between her and Simon Cowell.
An insider allegedly told the website: "Britney loves Simon, she likes Demi Lovato but her thing is music."
Best of Friends! Britney with fellow judges L.A. Reid and Demi Lovato (WENN)
As well as a new album, which she has been working on with Will.i.am, the 'Slave 4 U' star may also go on tour afterwards if it is successful, the insider revealed. The news comes following L.A. Reid's announcement that he was quitting as a judge on the talent show.
Reid was the only mentor to survive the first season, with Britney and Demi replacing Paula Abdul and Pussy Cat Doll star Nicole Scherzinger, who moved to the UK version.
With an all new line up for the third season in a row, we wonder who will be taking a seat next to Simon later this year?

Predicted Snowfall on Long Island Increased, More to Come Tomorrow
Nature & Weather, Local News, Seasonal & Current Events
Many schools closed after the NWS increased its original prediction of 4-6 inches, and even more snow could come tomorrow.
Update – February 4, 2014 – For information on the second snowstorm of the week, click here.
Original Story
The National Weather Service issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook yesterday and has since upgraded the region from a Winter Weather Advisory to a Winter Storm Warning. The watch remains in effect from 5 AM this morning until 7 PM tonight.
Long Island will bear the brunt of the storm alongside New York City, with the worst of it coming before 9 AM. Up to two inches of snow could fall per hour this morning, with visibility as poor as a quarter mile at times.
A mix of light rain and snow changed to a heavier snowfall before daybreak. Between 4-8 inches are expected to accumulate today, as temperatures are unlikely to peak above 32° and winds will blow between 10-13 mph. Temperatures will dip down around 24° overnight, and an additional 1-3 inches of snow could fall on Tuesday.
The National Weather Service has also issued a Winter Storm Watch for tomorrow night heading into Wednesday afternoon. Presently the watch is only in place for Nassau County, which might receive an extra inch more than Suffolk as well as ice accretion of one tenth to a quarter-inch.
"A Winter Storm Warning for heavy snow means severe winter weather conditions are expected or occurring," the NWS said. "Significant amounts of snow are forecast that will make travel dangerous. Only travel in an emergency."
Many schools have already closed, and you can get the latest updates on School Closures for Long Island right here.

text: Mineral County Sheriff's officials said a Montana Highway Patrol trooper shot and killed a man in St. Regis Wednesday night, after the man raised his rifle and pointed it at officers. The Mineral County Sheriff's Office received a call from a resident at 76 Monte Circle in St. Regis reporting a family disturbance around 6 p.m. Deputies heard a gunshot come from the residence when they arrived, and requested backup from highway patrol.They discovered the suspect had left on foot and was armed with a rifle. About two hours later, officers located the suspect one block from the residence, still armed. Investigators learned the suspect would not follow commands to drop the rifle, and raised the weapon towards officers, before the MHP trooper shot him.The trooper is on leave, pending an investigation by the Montana Department of Justice. The name of the man who was shot has not yet been released.

Party Time! Pizza Wonton Cups
With the Super Bowl coming up in a few days there are lots of parties being planned. I pinned this recipe from Taste of Home. The Pizza Wonton cup appetizer recipe can be added to your list.
Back in July I posted a Sausage Wonton Cup recipe that is very similar just using some different ingredients in the filling. The step for baking the wonton is the same. It calls for turkey sausage, but you can use whatever kind you like. I happened to have leftover fresh pork sausage in the refrigerator so I used that. And I always use what I have on hand or is left in the refrigerator.
Let's take a look at how to make this recipe – and at the end, you can find even more links to great party-friendly foods perfect for Super Bowl Sunday.
Here are the ingredients I used: fresh pork sausage, spaghetti sauce, garlic powder, dried oregano, wonton wrappers and shredded cheese.
Press 24 wonton wrappers into a greased mini muffin pan. Bake at 350 for 6-7 minutes or until just starting to brown.
In a skillet brown sausage over medium heat until no longer pink. Stir in about 1/2 a jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce, garlic powder and dried oregano. Stir and simmer for about 8 minutes until thickened.
Spoon sausage mixture into the wonton cups. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake about 5-6 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- 1 pound of sausage out of the casings (any kind you like)
- ½ a jar of spagetti sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 cup of shredded cheese
- In a skillet brown sausage over medium heat until no longer pink.
- Add the spagetti sauce, garlic powder and dried oregano and stir.
- Simmer for about 8 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Press wonton wrappers into a greased mini muffin pan and bake at 350 for 6-7 minutes.
- Spoon sausage mixture into the cups.
- Sprinkle on shredded cheese.
- Bake 5-6 minutes or until cheese is melted.
I tried these out when I had some family friends over for dinner. They really liked them, and the kids especially gobbled them up! Since it's pizza-flavored, these are a real crown pleaser.
Here are some other party foods you can make this weekend if you're hosting or attending a Super Bowl party:

PERU — A fire late Thursday night destroyed a home here.
Around 11:10 p.m., Keeseville Volunteer Fire Department rushed to 29 Haven Lane, after the homeowner called to report the blaze there, Keeseville Fire Chief David Perky said.
According to Perky, the fire had burst through the roof by the time firefighters arrived.
Assisting Keeseville was a tanker task force consisting of departments from AuSable Forks, Peru, South Plattsburgh and Willsboro.
Firefighting was focused on the interior of the home, which is owned by James Diskin III.
"The interior crew made a pretty good knockdown, but then it was a pretty extensive overhaul because they had insulation and everything everywhere," Perky said.
Putting out the fire went smoothly, he said, with a temperature of 25 degrees easing the recent challenge from bitter cold.
The structure was a total loss, the chief said, with the attic destroyed by the fire and the lower level of the home suffering extensive water damage.
No injuries were reported.
Diskin declined Red Cross assistance, Perky said, but does have homeowners insurance.
Keeseville firefighters were back in service by 2:30 a.m.
The cause of the fire was still under investigation Friday night, the chief said.

Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity by Julia Serano
A provocative manifesto, Whipping Girl asserts the powerful observations of Julia Serano, a transsexual woman whose supremely intelligent writing reflects her diverse background as a lesbian transgender activist and professional biologist. Serano shares her experiences and observations—both pre- and post-transition—to reveal the ways in which fear, suspicion, and dismissiveness toward femininity shape our societal attitudes toward trans women, as well as gender and sexuality as a whole.Serano's well-honed arguments stem from her ability to bridge the gap between the often-disparate biological and social perspectives on gender. She exposes how deep-rooted the cultural belief is that femininity is frivolous, weak, and passive, and how this "feminine" weakness exists only to attract and appease male desire.In addition to debunking popular misconceptions about transsexuality, Serano makes the case that today's feminists and transgender activists must work to embrace and empower femininity. This book should appeal to those with an interest in gender studies, as well as to anyone who ever wondered why feminism sees femininity as a problem.
Kissing Dead Girls is a kisstorical romangling that investigates myth, history, gender and states of being. Beginning with the province of legend, "Kissing Dead Girls" uses poetic inappropriacies to touch historical paragons and examine what touches us in them in vignettes casting the narrator as the lover of Josephine Baker, Amelia Earhart, Anne Frank, Frida Kahlo, Jonbenet Ramsey, Sharon Tate and Karen Carpenter. The "real" world fuses with the mundane as a liver is received in the mail by an unexpecting recipient; a woman replaces the moon with her heart; and a man finds himself a woman too dead to love. Gertrude Stein's work is co-opted and re-seen in an attempt to unpack the relationship between love and war; Walt Whitman makes a command performance in dismembered bits of forced formal verse; and "The Exorcist" and "The Devil in Miss Jones" are sutured together in an attempt to locate the true horror of desire. These poems and stories reach off the page in search of what it is to be known, both to the masses and to the Other, even just one.
In this memoir about being married to a transgender partner—a topic some people might find difficult to relate to—Helen Boyd takes the reader on a surprising journey into self-reflection about the limits that traditional gender roles place on us all. Her inquiries into contemporary feminist gender theory are both groundbreaking and accessible.
"Like a tightrope walker, Helen Boyd performs several amazing feats simultaneously in her impressive book,She's Not the Man I Married. She provides a postmodern reflection on transness; she writes a feminist critique of gender and culture. Above all, she gives her readers a sense of the deep love she shares with her husband Betty, a love we see in all its complex, messy wonder. Through its author's honest, lucid prose, She's Not the Man I Married is brilliant, unsettling, and sweet." - Jennifer Finney Boylan, author of She's Not There: A Life in Two Genders

Get to Work: A Manifesto for Women of the World by Linda Hirshman.
Linda Hirshman is a retired philosophy professor, and her new book has generated rich discussion, tense debate, and even outrage from some sectors of society. She argues, in the tradition of Betty Freidan's The Feminine Mystique, that women have a moral imperative to be part of the working world instead of "opting out" of the work world in order to stay home and raise their children. You may agree or disagree with her, but one thing is certain: her book will provoke strong reactions in you, one way or another. The debate over "women's work" continues to be a central concern of contemporary feminism, and I invite you to join in the conversation.
The Spring 2007 selection for Feminism in Hardcover was a memoir by Nancy Venable Raine called After Silence: Rape and My Journey Back. It was chosen for its incredibly smart and theoretically informed reflections on sexual assault and because of its critically acclaimed literary quality. The focus of the book is on the symptoms of post-traumatic stress syndrome that the author experiences after the assault, the cultural pressures to suppress the story of trauma, and the uses and limitations of existing feminist discourse on rape.
Two discussion dates were held, and there were approximately 20 participants.
