Neha Vapiwala, MD
Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: June 24, 2003
Cancer can be defined on a cellular level as a derangement in the normal regulation of cell proliferation, death and differentiation. One can view normal cell growth as a series of states, collectively termed the "cell cycle", through which a cell passes as it grows, proliferates and reaches a differentiated level. These states are identified and distinguished according to various biochemical and morphologic criteria.
The stages of the cycle can be viewed as a continuum, and thus there are not strict "starting" or "ending" points, per se, but a series of phases.
During the S phase, new DNA is synthesized and the cellular DNA content is thus duplicated in anticipation of division. Following DNA replication is phase G2, a relatively brief period of final preparation for the next phase, mitosis (M). The M phase features four substages, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. These conclude with cytokinesis and result in two progeny cells for every one mother cell. The cell next enters either G0, which is a "resting phase" of variable duration during which the cell withdraws from proliferation via the cell cycle but maintains other basic functions, or G1, a "growth" phase also of variable duration but in which the cell can either exit into G0 remain within the cycle and prepare for DNA replication, depending on the input of regulatory factors.
Important regulation points that determine the rate of cellular proliferation occur in G1, before S, and between G0 and G1. These control points serve as the focus of much cancer research, as tumor growth is thought to result from the dysregulations that can occur here.
Various genes result in products responsible for overseeing cell cycle activity. Some of these products can be described as "pro-proliferation", as they enhance the rate of cell cycling or increase the rate of cellular entry into the cycle. In contrast, some gene products are considered "anti-proliferation", as they promote decreased cellular division and proliferation. Either excessive activity of the first group and/or decreased or absent activity of the second would therefore make cells behave "cancer-like" and contribute to a neoplastic phenotype.
The term "proto-oncogene" refers to a normal cellular gene that has the potential to cause neoplastic transformation when they are abnormally altered or mutated. Once "activated", ("gain of function") the gene is labeled an "oncogene". When an oncogene contributes to cellular neoplastic transformation even in the presence of normal copies of itself, it is considered to be genetically dominant, and thus called a "dominant oncogene".
Alternatively, cellular genes whose activities normally prevent neoplastic behavior are called "tumor suppressor genes". Rather than through "activation", it is their inactivity or absence ("loss of function") that these can contribute to oncogenic transformation, and hence they are called "recessive oncogenes".
The activity of "dominant oncogenes" has been known for decades, as they are readily detected in vitro. Up to 60 different members have been identified. However, the relevance of these genes to human cancers has only been defined for a small subset, notably ras, myc, bcl2, and bcr-abl. It is important to remember abnormal cellular accumulation can result not only from uncontrolled cellular proliferation, but also from abnormal cell removal. Hence, dominant oncogenes often encode for apoptosis-regulating proteins (proteins that help to regulate programmed cellular death) as well as extracellular growth and intranuclear transcription factors. Some examples of activation mechanisms of dominant oncogenes are:
Disease PhenotypeBurkitt's lymphoma Nodular B-cell lymphomas Chronic myelogenous leukemia |
Translocationt(8;14) (myc/Ig) t(14;18) (Ig/bcl2) t(9;22) (abl/bcr) |
Mechanismderegulated expression deregulated expression altered gene product |
Gene amplification
deregulated expression deregulated expression deregulated expression |
Point mutationVarious tumors(ras) |
altered gene product |
Proviral insertionMany animal models | deregulated expression |
Evidence for the presence of "tumor suppressor genes" has only recently emerged, with relatively few examples identified to date. This is mainly due to the inherent difficulty in detecting their activity in vitro, since detection requires loss of both copies of the gene (hence they are called "recessive oncogenes"). A single good copy of a tumor suppressor gene would usually be sufficient to suppress tumorigenesis. Some of these genes (p53 in particular) represent those most commonly mutated in up to 50% of human cancers, and many familial cancer predisposition syndromes and "inherited cancers" are clearly linked to germline loss of tumor suppessor genes, (the "double hit" hypothesis). Examples include:
Inherited predisposition |
Tumor suppressor gene |
Retinoblastoma (also osteosarcoma)
Li-Fraumeni syndrome (various carcinomas) Breast cancer (also ovarian) Melanoma Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) syndrome Hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) or Lynch syndrome |
Rb p53 BRCA1, BRCA2 p16INK4 APC MSH1 |
Many of these genes normally prevent cells from entering the cell cycle by binding and thus inactivating transcription factors needed for cell cycling. The Rb protein is a prime example. Other tumor suppressors do not block transcription directly, but are functionally linked to these blockers and thus act indirectly. An example of this would be kinase inhibitors like p16INK4, which prevent phosphorylation and inactivation of the blocking proteins described above. Another example is the p53 gene product, which leads to selective apoptosis (programmed cell-death) as well as arrest of cell proliferation when induced by DNA damaging agents such as radiation and certain drugs. Thus, loss of p53 activity means defective apoptosis and loss of cell cycle arrest following DNA damage, minimizing time for DNA repair and promoting genomic instability.
Advancements in our understanding and elucidation of the genetic and molecular pathogenesis of cancer are crucial to the advancement of clinical oncology. Research in this area is the key to improved detection, diagnosis and management of many cancers. Potential present and future applications of the knowledge such research provides include the following:

Swanstone Corporate Statement
For more than four decades, we have been a quiet leader in the kitchen and bath industry. Our high-quality products have always balanced durability, value and style. Innovation is one of our core values, and we have set a standard with our ability to invent. Now it's time to reinvent.
The Swan Story
For more than 40 years, we've been creating innovative and affordable solid surface products and materials for customers all over the world. It started in 1964, when we introduced the Swan Shell Shower, a doorless, shell-shaped shower that captured the spirit of its time.
The Shell Shower was the first in a long line of original kitchen and bath products from Swan, including the Circle Shower as well as the industry's first non-ceramic tile bathtub wall system.
In 1987, we introduced Swanstone to the world, first with a line of vanity tops and bowls. Swanstone quickly became known for its superior impact strength, heat resistance, and ability to resist scratches and stains. Consumers now had an elegant and durable solid surface material that was also affordable.
Since then, our Swanstone line has expanded to include a wide variety of kitchen sinks, countertops, tub and shower walls, and more. In 1994 we introduced the Swanstone 1/4" sheet program, offering even more flexibility to Swanstone customers. In 1997 we introduced a complete line of Swanstone products for the restaurant industry, including tabletops, countertops, vanity tops, mop service sinks and windowsills.
At Swan, we're committed to a policy of continuous improvement, to providing our customers with the highest quality products and most responsive customer service in the kitchen & bath industry. And we stand behind this commitment with some of the best warranties in the business.
Made in America

A cherry-licious ice cold treat on a hot summer day.
I've been playing around with my new ice cream maker and I'm having fun with all the possibilities, you should expect to see a lot more frozen treats in the weeks to come!
First on my list was sorbet. Cherry ice is my favorite summer flavor but I was really amazed at how much better cherry ice tastes when using real cherries and not the artificial cherry flavor we are all used to. The deep red color is all natural, no color added. Although pitting the cherries is a bit time consuming, it's well worth the end results.
These would make great tasting ice pops too if you don't have an ice cream maker. Use your sweetener of choice, Stevia of course could be used in place of the sugar or agave if that is what you prefer, without the sugar a serving is 2 points+.

Stem the cherries and remove the pits. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cherries with the water, sugar, and lemon juice, and cook until the cherries are very soft and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate to chill thoroughly.
Puree the cherries and their liquid and put the mixture through a fine sieve.
Once the cherry mixture is chilled, freeze according to your ice cream maker's instructions.
Makes 1 pint.

Thirty years ago Javier was admitted to ¨Lo Barnechea¨ a special-ed school in Santiago de Chile. Javier was the smallest of all his classmates, very disorganized yet always smiling. Lo Barnechea School participated frequently in Special Olympics' activities, and so he quickly began to practice athletics. Javier´s breakthrough came in 1988 during the first National Ski Games in Loquimay, to the south of Chile, where he achieved first place. Javier participated and was successful in many events to follow, becoming Special Olympics Chile´s best skier. In 1991 he obtained first place at the regional games in Bariloche, Argentina. He obtained a silver medal at his second international event in Austria in 1993. Finally, in 1997 he obtained three gold medals playing unified sports in Canada. In 1997 he was admitted to the Gardening Training school but he continued to work at the ski school as a coaches' assistant and a close collaborator to the sport activities for Special Olympics Chile. In 2006 after various coaches´ training sessions in Bocce, he travelled to serve as judge at the Regional Games in El Salvador. In 2012 Javier was named SO Chile´s Athlete Leader and as such, participated at the Regional Athlete Congress during the Central American Games in Panama. Most recently, he was selected to participate as a judge during Special Olympics' Winter Games in Korea. Thanks to Javier and his support with organizing the ski workshop, Special Olympics Chile can count on a workshop as part of the regular training offered in this sport which has resulted in making it possible to hold a national tournament every year. He serves at these tournaments as judge, accompanied by his coach and school professor Ms. Ximena Puelles. Javier´s work, perseverance, commitment to Special Olympics, his collaborative spirit which asks nothing in return, has allowed him, along with four others and his coach to participate as part of Chile´s delegation at the World Winter Games in Korea in the sport discipline of alpine ski.

My fiance and i decided to go cheap on our wedding bands and then upgrade them on our anniversary. I bought this ring for myself and it is good quality for a great price if you are looking for a plain band.
I have a beautiful engagement ring and was looking for a simple wedding band that would not compete. The band was accurate in sizing and true to the image provided on the website. I found a similar ring at a local, respectable jewelry store for about $30 more. This ring is exactly what I was looking for. It is very lightweight and unnoticeable on the finger. The band is unimpressive if you wear it on its own.
I ordered this band for my wedding band after having tried on similar bands in jewelry stores that cost nearly twice as much. However, upon receiving this ring, I tired it on. It is NOT comfortable. In fact, it also feels like the sizing might run just a tad small and the size of the band seemed to be a little smaller than the other 2mm half round band that I had tried on. I have decided to return this as I cannot bear the thought of wearing this all the time since it just isn't comfortable.
This ring was the exact same as the ones we tried on in the store, but way cheaper.
Nice ring with an affordable price. Goes well with wedding set, just as an added shine
We got desperate to get a ring before our wedding this one worked fine... since we knew the size we needed and understand what the millimeter width measurement would look like.
I bought this band to go with my 3 stone engagement ring and am very happy. The band is thin and delicate and compliments my ring perfectly! Fits true to size and ships quickly. Cannot beat this price!
I knew it was gonna be a thin width, but this is VERY thin! I use it for work since I work with my hands. It's a nice and delicate-looking band. It does its purpose.
Ring was not true to size. I could not even get it on my finger, even though a few years ago I ordered the exact same ring and it fit fine. I even took this ring to a jewelry store and confirmed that it was more like size 5.2, not the 5:5 it was supposed to be. Very disappointing..and then I had to pay the shipping to send it bad! Overstock needs to work harder to ensure that products are as advertised, especially expensive jewelry where indeed, size matters!

Peavy heads back to mound to face Mets
Back spasms forced righty to miss a start; Hefner eyes repeat
Jake Peavy is finally ready to get back on the mound.
The White Sox right-hander returns to the hill Wednesday at Citi Field against the Mets after missing one start because of back spasms.
"It has been a tough few days, but I feel good," Peavy said. "Went out and just went through a normal day with the guys."
Peavy's normal day consisted of his regular training program. The 12-year veteran has dealt with his share of arm injuries in his career, but said he's never experienced anything quite like this.
"I always have my back worked on every now and then," Peavy said. "But I've never had any spasms to the point where my back spasmed up on that Wednesday night and truly for about two days, you guys saw me, I was in as bad of shape.
"You don't realize your back controls everything. You can't make a move without feeling it or feel like you are injuring it more."
Robin Ventura, two wins shy of his 100th victory as White Sox manager, admitted he'll be monitoring Peavy a bit closer Wednesday.
"You watch it a little bit," Ventura said. "I don't want to see weird body language or anything like that. He's told he can't go out there if he's not healthy enough to go."
Opposing Peavy will be Mets right-hander Jeremy Hefner, who was all but untouchable in his last start before exiting in the ninth. The 27-year-old tossed eight scoreless innings and struck out eight before opening the ninth by allowing a single and eventually losing a 2-1 decision to the Marlins.
White Sox: For starters
• Chicago starters have a 2.06 ERA and .218 opponents' average in their last six games.
The White Sox also have made a Major League-best 899 quality starts since 2003 and White Sox starters are a combined 29-22 with a 2.93 ERA all-time in Interleague Play.
• The White Sox have committed eight errors in their last nine games.
Mets: Collins likes Valdespin as a reserve
• The Mets are still looking for someone to step up in their crowded outfield. One player, Jordany Valdespin, has done so -- hitting .242 with two homers -- but manager Terry Collins believes the 25-year-old plays better as a reserve and has trouble maintaining his intensity as a starter.
That leads to a Catch-22 as the Mets try to find a way to both feed him steady playing time and leverage his best performance.
"We've got to get him playing time to make sure he's ready to hit when needed," Collins said Tuesday. "We sat here today and we talked about Jordany and where he fits best. Once in a while, when you put those guys out of position -- we've seen it in the past -- something happens, a mistake is made and they think they have to do so much more at the plate than what's needed from them."
• Saturday's rainout in Atlanta is rescheduled for June 18 at 1:10 p.m. ET as part of a split doubleheader, making the Braves' trip to New York a five-game series.
Worth noting
• This two-game series marks the South Siders' first trip to Flushing, N.Y. The clubs have met only once prior, in Chicago in 2002, with the White Sox taking two of three.

vibe frame v2
Replacement frame for your vibe 2 buggy. This part includes the frame only - the wheels and bumper bar are sold separately.
This product has been discontinued - once we've sold the last, it's gone for good (we're sorry!).
PLEASE NOTE: This frame is a version 2 vibe frame and may not compatible with your current front wheel assembly if you own a vibe version 1 buggy. Version 2 is easily identified by a plastic protection around the holes on the front of the stroller frame where the bumper bar and double kit attaches to the front. Having this oval shaped protection on the frame indicates you have a version 2.
Customer service 10\10

Bought a second hand vibe on ebay, 3 months later after average use the aluminium frame snapped by the rear wheel. Contacted p&t and asked if they could help (a real long shot), amazingly they agreed to supply a brand new frame and front wheel at 80% discount from rrp. Absolutely delighted with the level of customer service they have provided in this case and will certainly continue to use p&t products in the future.
The vibe frame itself is made from aluminium and is a little stiff, hence the tendency to crack (research on the internet showed that mine was not an isolated case) so pl be aware. Vibe has now been discontinued which again could be an indication of problems with the model or maybe p&t are just slimming down what they offer.
Love the frame.

Vibe 2 frame

We bought the frame a month ago. It is the second frame we have to buy in less than 2 years...both broken!
After speaking with the customer service, we were offered a discount on the frame....but they got confused and gave us a discount in the verve frame. We tried for almost 10 days to order it as I could not be without a double pram and I was going on holidays on my own with both kids (28 and 12 months old). We finally got it,....too late for my trip though.
The customer service was not good this time and we are disappointed with the frames quality as it has broken twice and last time we had to pay around £100

3/5Replacement frame bought as original, which had seen light use over a period of 4 years and 2 babies broke ! One of the welds came apart on the frame. Had to buy a new front wheel too as the frame design had been updated. Was given a large discount as this pushchair broke but it was still an expensive repair.

They look pretty. It would be great to see a review of an abit core 2 duo mainboard.
Should be receiving the Abit AW9D-MAX shortly for Linux tests.August 16 th , 2006 ? Today Universal abit launched their much anticipated AW9D and AW9D-MAX motherboards based on the Intel 975X chipset. There has been much anticipation in the industry for this series and as far as looks go, these boards are built to please. The benchmarking has been exceptional in typical abit style and our tweakability and overclocking features have exceeded even our own expectations:
Mark, a bright new star in the abit engineering department, says: "I really like abit's ? Guru overclocking features on this board and playing with the engineering samples I've managed to OC to 470 FSB using a 6800XE Core? 2 Duo. The BIOS has plenty of options for adjusting FSB, tweaking voltages and controlling stability. It's truly an amazing overclocking motherboard ... I love it!"
They look pretty. It would be great to see a review of an abit core 2 duo mainboard.
That is a sweet looking board. I love it.
We have the Abit AW9D motherboard in for testing Look for an article in a few weeks.
Abit first discussed the AW9D with Phoronix well over a year ago, and I must say its design has changed quite a bit from the first conceptual diagrams that I had seen. It's good to finally see this motherboard out, if it is able to continue in the success of the AW8-MAX (and the unforgettable IC7-MAX3!).
WTF is i tblue? In norway it is black! :P
Maybe the vanilla one is blue, I dont have neither of them, awaiting one of them from my shop (www.komplett.co.uk), just thought because the AW8 and MAX was black both
The AW8 series is black, and I believe the AW9D-MAX is also black. However, the vanilla (plain) AW9D is blue at least in the US.
Ya, its blue here too. But the funny thing is that I can put on the end of the AW8-MXA cooler I got, because there are holes for it on the mainboard

dave.reeck says: Answered my own question by finding this good post: Posted 2 years ago |
josh.job says: I have tried both the smart list and static list approaches and here's what I have discovered: If you want to use only smarlists then you have to be committed to managing either a complicated text string or tag-based system, not to mention the upkeep on the smartlists themselves. Is it really that much harder to add a static list and move tasks than to add tags and text strings every time you want to jot down a to-do? I think that many of the efficiencies expected by using a "smart" system can be easily lost for very practical reasons. Personally, the harder it is to enter a task the less likely I am to record it. Also, as a visual person, writing tasks as I look at other tasks in the same focus area helps generate additional ideas. Conversely, it is difficult for me to focus on recording tasks for one particular project when the whole unsorted inbox is staring me in the face. Posted 2 years ago |
techlifeweb says: I agree. Smart lists are the key. Let RTM work for you not against you. I have 2 static lists. 1 called Central that most everything goes into. I never look at it as it is just a holding area for the smart lists to pull from. You could use inbox bot I don't like things in there. If there is something in In Box it is because I haven't tagged it. My other static list is Recurring which holds all my recurring tasks that get pulled into smartlists using the lazy tagging method (thats what I call it anyway. It's the zzz method rajjan wrote about long ago in a comment here https://www.rememberthemilk.com/forums/tips/590/). I could put them in Central but sometimes I need to find them and it's just easier then looking through the long list in central. Posted 2 years ago |
andrewski (Remember The Milk) says: Hi techlifeweb, Posted 2 years ago |
mikejd30 says: Interesting thread. I don't think it would be necessary to try static lists. I mean, I am new to RTM, but static lists are clear and the way most systems (including pen and paper) work. I think sometimes David Allen turns tried and tested principals into GTD concepts, which I am not keen on. Posted 2 years ago |

"Mixed Bag (but the good stories are really good)"
I am a fan of Rose Tremain and was really looking forward to this new collection of short stories, but for me, overall, it disappointed. I give her credit for focusing on a wide variety of characters, time periods, and settings, and for her very fine dialogue. But I've come to the conclusion that Tremain is at her best writing historical fiction. In fact, two of the stories that delve into that genre are perhaps the best in the collection. "The Jester of Astapovo" begins as the story of an unhappily married stationmaster's desire to have an affair with an older woman and ends telling the story of Leo Tolstoy's last days, dying in the stationmaster's cottage. It's by far the best of these stories. "The Housekeeper" is narrated by the woman who served as the model for Mrs. Danvers; she has a haunting affair with novelist Daphne du Maurier.
"The American Lover"--a woman looks back on a doomed love affair.
"Extra Geography"--Two schoolgirls decide to fall in love with someone. anyone, the next person they see: their female geography teacher, a middle-aged New Zealander.
"A View of Lake Superior in the Fall"--A Nashville couple retires to the North.
"Man in the Water"--A young woman swears she saw a man in the water that no one else saw.
"Juliet Greco's Black Dress"--a young woman models herself after Juliet Greco.
"Smithy"--An old man tried to move a stained mattress that has been thrown on the road.
"BlackBerry Winter"--A daughter deals with her ailing, cranky mother over the holidays.
"Lucy and Gaston"--Conversation between a long-married couple in which Gaston recalls his father's wartime death in a typhoon.
"The Closing Door"--After Worrld War II, widow Marjorie struggles with sending her daughter Patience to boarding school at her in-laws' insistence.
"21st Century Juliet"--Aristocratic Juliet records events in her diary, including her relations with her parents and her passionate affair with an Eastern European construction worker.
These are the kind of stories in which not a lot happens outside of the characters, but quite a lot goes on inside them and within their dialogue. If you care about the main character, this works; if you don't, it doesn't.
"Mediocre Collection of Essays"
Dylan Thomas has always been one of my favorite poets. As a teenager, I owned the whole Caedmon series of Thomas reading his own verse and that of others, and I played it over and over. Last year marked 100 years since his birth, and this collection of essays is in celebration.
Overall, I was disappointed in the book. Most of the essays covered familiar biographical territory, and none of them were what I would consider literary criticism that would shed light on any of Thomas's poems. I was mildly interested in one essay on plagiarism: when he was very young (12-18), Thomas apparently plagiarized a number of poems that have now been purged from his collected works. Most of them had been printed in children's magazines, and Thomas had made minor changes--the kind of thing my students do with their papers. A few reminiscences of Wales and Thomas's early life were a pleasure to walk through, like a familiar path. I can't, however, recommend the collection to anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of Thomas and his work, or to anyone coming newly to his poems.
"Guess I'm Still Not a Thriller Fan"
The Girl on the Train, a new thriller that has been getting a lot of buzz, is narrated by three women. Rachel Watson, the main character, is a divorced, childless alcoholic still clinging to her ex-husband, Tom. Afraid to tell her landlady that she has been fired, Rachel rides the train into London every day, pretending to go to work. The train just happens to go past her former house, where Tom now lives with his new wife and daughter. Rachel becomes obsessed with an attractive couple who live a few doors down the street; she watches them from the train, fantasizing about the perfect life she believes they have. Obviously an unreliable narrator (she has frequent blackouts), Rachel is the most intriguing of the women in the story. The other narrators are Tom's new wife, Anna, who fears that Rachel will do something crazy, and Megan Hipwell, the young woman idealized by Rachel. The crime line takes off when Megan goes missing, and Rachel thinks she may know something important . . . if only she could remember what. She becomes as obsessed with the case as she has been with Tom and the Hipwells, and the reader is left to guess what is real and what is imagined.
I don't usually read thrillers, but this one got a lot of hype, so I thought I'd give it a try. Initially, I was caught up in the story, but by the end, it seemed to drag on, driven by far too many coincidences.

"Very Entertaining Bio"
'My Life in Pieces' is not your typical autobiography. It's a compilation of "pieces" written by the actor Simon Callow for various newspapers, books, programs, memorials, etc. Most of them, of course, revolve around Callow's work in the theatre and on film. If his name isn't familiar to you, his face probably will be, from movies if not the stage: he played the Rev. Mr. Beebe in 'A Room with a View,' Schikaneder/Papageno in 'Amadeus,' and Gareth, the gay man who dies of a heart attack at one of the receptions in 'Four Weddings and a Funeral.' He's also well-known for his one-man show on Charles Dickens, which was televised in the UK and is available on DVD here in the US. Callow presents insightful essays on many of the great actors of the twentieth century, most of whom he has acted with, including Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson, Alec Guinness, Paul Scofield, Orson Welles, Vanessa Redgrave, Michael Redgrave, Ian McKellan, and more. In addition, he writes about several directors and playwrights, classic 'schools' and 'methods' of acting, and his own views on the status of acting on today's stage.
Callow is a wonderful writer and a great storyteller. He can be funny, charming, reverent, and insightful--sometimes in the same piece. The stories he tells of working in the theatre are delightful, but they also give one an appreciation for the true art of acting. I listened to this book on audio, and with Callow himself as reader, it was a wonderful experience. I've always thought he was a fine, underrated character actor, and my admiration of his work has grown after reading/listening to these 'pieces.'
Recommended for anyone interested theatre arts.
"Clever and Witty"
If she was alive today, I'd be writing to thank Muriel Spark for adding a useful phrase to my repertoire: pisseur de copie. It's a phrase that gets Mrs. Hawkins (later known as Nancy) into a good deal of trouble, but she never takes it back. Mrs. Hawkins, a large-boned and hefty 28-year-old war widow, works in the world of publishing, and she lives in a boarding house full of eccentric characters, including a Polish seamstress, a pampered daddy's girl, a clever lower class medical student, and others. It's her connection to Hector Bartlett, the pisseur de copie, that shapes the novel. Mrs. Hawkins takes an immediate dislike to the pretentious would-be author, who tries repeatedly to use his 'friendship' with popular novelist Emma Loy as an entry ticket. (Nancy suspects a sexual liaison, but Emma's revelation that Hector can quote from all of her novels--wrongly--suggests something a bit more egotistical.) When tragedy strikes the boarding house community, Mrs. Hawkins launches an investigation of her own.
'A Far Cry from Kensington' is a delightful trek into the world of publishing, ca. 1950s, and a wonderfully droll study of character. I've read only one other novel by Spark, but I'll definitely be seeking out more.
"Sad but Lovely Story"
McLaverty's novel of "the troubles" in Northern Ireland, first published in 1983, has become a classic. Young Cal McCluskey is haunted by the role he played in the murder of a policeman yet struggles to detach from the IRA. Matters get worse when Cal falls for the local librarian who, he later learns, is the policeman's widow. As their romance heats up, he is saddened by the knowledge that their relationship is doomed: both of them have stated their belief in 100% honesty between partners, but Cal knows that 100% honesty will destroy them.
'Cal' depicts the horrors of the continuing conflict betwen Catholics and Protestants: beatings, fire-bombings, land minds, shattered families and shattered psyches. Overall, a finely written and very moving novel. David Threlfall is a very reader.
"Very Enjoyable!"
Hundreds of novels have been written about Elizabeth I, so one wonders, what could be written about her life that hasn't been covered before? Margaret George takes as her subject a less familiar period of Elizabeth's life, the last 15 years or so, from the approach of the Spanish Armada to her death in 1603. It's a daring decision, since what we generally think of as the most exciting events in her reign--her imprisonment by her half-sister Mary, her dalliance Thomas Seymour, her ascendance to the throne, the string of foreign suitors and her 'affair' with Robert Dudley, the arrest of her cousin Mary of Scotland, etc.--have already occurred. So what could there be in the life of an aging queen that is worthy of another massive tome?
Plenty--especially if you are a reader who is more interested in characters than action. And George starts us off with plenty of action as the English troops prepare to meet the Armada. We're introduced to some of the major players of the period: Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, the leader of Elizabeth's troops; her spymaster Frances Walsingham (incongruously clad in armor); Sir Walter Raleigh; Secretary Burleigh; Leicester's stepson, the Earl of Essex;--the list goes on.
But characters drive this novel. By focusing on an aging queen with aging advisors who are often in conflict with the younger members of the council, George finds a reason to explore relationships, the changes wrought by maturity and experience, and a growing generation gap that affects both court and country. The effect is enhanced by dividing the novel between two narrators, Elizabeth and her cousin Lettice Knollys. The ten years younger, more beautiful, and thrice-married Lettice is the granddaughter of Mary Boleyn, sister of the queen's doomed mother. A third Boleyn cousin, Catherine Knollys, enters the picture as one of Elizabeth's foremost ladies in waiting. It is Catherine who observes near the end of the book that together they represent the three paths of womanhood: one a life-long virgin, one thrice widowed, and one happily married to the same man since her youth.
While Elizabeth and Lettice would seem to be polar opposites (and Lettice had incurred the queen's lifelong enmity for seducing away and marrying Leicester), George's narrative subtly reveals the similarities between them as well. For one thing, both have learned the value of patience; for another, both reflect on the mistakes and lessons of the past and on the process of aging. Whatever else she may be, Lettice is also a devoted mother; and George depicts Elizabeth as a mother much devoted to her "children," the people of England, as well as to her many godchildren. In the case of Elizabeth, George attempts to dig below the myths and give us a closer look at the woman behind the face paint and the crown. The double narratives remind us of how difficult it was to be a woman in those days, especially for a woman who had to remind the world that she was a prince as well.
Now, don't get the impression that this book is all thought and no action. After all, we are talking about a period that encompassed the invasion of the Armada and the continued threat from Spain, the Lopez 'plot,' the Irish wars, the Essex rebellion, the problem of the succession, and more. And for good measure, George imagines a dalliance between Lettice and that upstart playwright William Shakespeare. (Both women comment on his work and ponder its relevance--and John Donne makes two appearances as well.) In short, George gives us a brimming picture of life, both public and private, in late Elizabethan England.
"Finally Got Around to This One"
Initially, I was totally captivated by this story of Jean Padgett, a young English woman working in Malaya who became a Japanese prisoner of war. The hardships that the women and children endured during their trek to one nonexistent prison camp after another and the alternating kindness and inhumanity of their captors kept me reading (well, listening; this was an audiobook) at a rapid pace. Under such an unlikely circumstances, one wouldn't expect to fall in love, but we do sense that it is happening to Jean when she means a resourceful Australian named Joe Harmon. But the war intervenes . . .
The novel opens with the narrator, a solicitor, tracking down Jean to tell her that she has just come into an inheritance, and it is to Noah that Jean tells her story. After hearing all she endured, he could hardly be more surprised when Jean tells him her plans for the money: to return to Malaya.
I won't spoil the book by telling what happens next, but there are quite a few surprises in store. I have to admit that the last third of the novel--the part that reflects the title--was somewhat less interesting to me. Still, this is one of those books whose title was familiar but about which I knew nothing, and overall, it was worthwhile.
"Starts Well, Ends "Meh""
This is one of those books that really hooked me in at first but fell off a bit towards the end. It's 1922, and Cora Carlisle, a respectable Wichita wife in her late thirties, is hired to accompany 15-year old Louise Brooks to New York City. Louise, who became a silent film star a few years later, had been accepted by the exclusive dance school run by Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn. Despite their age difference, it quickly becomes clear that it's Cora, not Louise, who is the more naive. Wherever they go, the beautiful Louise attracts male attention--and seems to know just what to do with it.
The story is more that of Cora than of Louise. The main reason that she wants to go to New York is to find out about her birth parents. She vaguely remembers a dark-haired woman holding her and singing in a foreign language, but her earliest clear memories are of the Catholic orphanage where she was raised to about age seven. Cora was one of thousands of orphaned children who were put on trains and shipped to potential parents in the plains states. Fortunately, her adoptive parents were loving and kind, but as she grew, Cora's life was not untouched by tragedy. In a day when adoption records were sealed, Cora attempts to find out who where she came from, who she really is.
The confrontations between Cora and Louise are exactly what one would expect, Cora constantly reminding her charge that she mustn't allow herself to be "compromised," Louise scoffing at Cora's old-fashioned Christian morality. This leads to a lot of self-examination on the chaperone's part, including the revelation of family secrets. But it isn't long before Louise is invited to join the Denis-Shawn company, and Cora heads back to Wichita--but not exactly to the same life.
The last quarter of the novel rushes through 50+ years of Cora's life, with occasional mentions and sightings of Louise. Overall, it seems rushed, and rather formulaic, all the 'surprises' too anticipated: hence the 3.5 rating. The rush is even more pronounced because the section on Louise seems rather dragged out. Think about the balance: 3/4 of the book focused on a few months in 1922 (plus Cora's memories), 1/3 covering the next 50+ years.
Overall, it's not a bad read, just slightly disappointing in the end. One thing I did get out of it was a renewed interest in Louise Brooks, one of the most distinctively stunning and most controversial actresses of the silent film era.

Railroad Days a happy memory
Diana Jorgenson
Portola Editor
Railroad Days organizers have no doubt collapsed in a heap after their duties were completed, but they can congratulate themselves on a job well done.
Railroad Days went regional this year, extending to Nakoma, Graeagle and Blairsden and bringing in 500 visitors by train, many of whom had never been in the area before. Railroad Days chairperson Donna Mills and treasurer Cindy Wood appeared at the Aug. 25 city council meeting to review the event.
Mills said, "It was very well received. The businesses did well, the visitors enjoyed themselves, and the vendors did well. I really want to thank the city and the council members who fronted us the money so we could do a really good job promoting this."
She and Wood agreed, while all the figures were not tallied, they believed they would end in the black financially for the first time - maybe ever.
Mayor John Larrieu said he spent time listening to comments of those riding the buses between events, most of whom came on the train, and found the comments positive and heartening. The people, he said, came from all over the country and even overseas and most had never been to this area before.
Council member Bill Kennedy said, "It's the first time it has come to my attention that it was not just Portola but area-wide. I can't think of anything better for this whole end of the county than to have everyone working together."
City Manager Jim Murphy agreed and added he believed that the Community Kick-off Picnic was very successful. The city had fed nearly 700 people, which was much more effective than a dinner at Memorial Hall that only fed about 70 people.
Railroad Days is an opportunity for area social groups and service organizations to raise funds. Most of them take the opportunity and have booths or events like the Rotary breakfast to add to the mix, but Wood pointed out that the youth groups, who manned the bounce house and provided service during many of the events, also made money by receiving a percentage of the money collected.
She had paid out checks to Catholic Youth Group, the high school cheerleaders, Youth on Fire, "S" Club and Feather River College students.
There are also many competitions and drawings held during Railroad Days. This year's parade-winning float was Portola High School boys' soccer, which received $100. Rotary Club won the traveling trophy and second place in the float division; Sierra Cascade Street Rodders came in third.
Brightwater Music and Fine Arts took first place in traveling bands. Kim Hillyard Dance took first place in unmounted novelty groups, and Portola Preschool took second.
Faith Henderson took first in individual novelty junior division while Curt McBride, the stiltman, took first in the senior division.
PHS cheerleaders took first place in the junior walking group, while the Soroptimists took first in the senior walking groups, with Feather River softball team taking second.
Oregano drove off with first place honors in the auto category, White Sierra Station's 1930 Rat Rod came in second, and Bristow Family's 1927 Model T came in third.
In the Special Interest vehicle category, the 1941 Storrie Retreat fire engine came in first and the Portola Fire Department in second, and the Beckwourth Fire Department took third.
The Bi-State Propane truck painted pink for breast cancer awareness took first in the commercial category.
American Valley Speedway took first in the motorcycle category. Joy Engineering took first and second in the horse-drawn category for its stagecoach and covered wagon, respectively.
Last but not least, Terry Swofford and his pooper-scooper took first in the candidate category.
The third annual Iron Man Spike Driving Contest attracted eight professional railroaders and one amateur. The Union Pacific employees shone and walked away with all the honors.
First-place Jeff Instness drove in his spike in 18.95 seconds, with 22 seconds by Sal Soriano (who won last year's contest at 14.25 seconds) placing second; third place was occupied by Shawn Norden.
The Willie A. Tate Memorial Run produced 85 runners and a long list of winners, which can be found in the Sports & Recreation section of this issue.
Even more winners came out of the button drawing, and at press time at least 30 drawing prizes were unclaimed. Check at city hall for your button number and claim your prize.
The first-place winner in the Lucky Duck Race down the Feather River was Preston Wilson, who won $500. Little Preston is less than a year old so he is off to a great start, thanks to his doting great-aunt Linda Johnson who bought the ticket.
Second, $200, went to Sue Miller, and Marsha Albright went home $100 richer with her third-place winnings.
This year's Railroad Days was arguably the best ever; certainly it was the most diverse. The Feather River Express brought a host of new people to the area (see the front of Regional) and the Stars in the Barn performance was a dazzler unlike anything seen in this area before. (See next week's issue for pictures and report of that performance.)
