Collection Overview
The James T. Sears Papers span the dates 1918-2008, with the bulk of the material covering the period between 1950 and 2004, and are arranged in the following series: Audiovisual Material; Other Activities; Personal Papers; Photographic Material; Professional Papers; the largest series, Research and Writings; Jack Nichols Papers Series; and Oversize Material, which contains chiefly newspapers and other large-format serials. The Research and Writings series, the largest in the collection, is divided into subseries for each of Sears' major works; in addition, there are other large subseries for Sears' other writings and editorial work, research files, and a small set of writings by other individuals.
The collection documents the career and life of a gay rights activist, educator, and author who has performed ground-breaking research on gay, lesbian, and bisexual culture in the United States, and the teaching of human sexuality in the classroom. The evolution and publication of Sears' major book-length works, articles, and other editorial work is fully documented in this collection in the form of drafts, correspondence, recorded and transcribed oral histories, many research files, and a wide variety of images and recordings. Sears' professional papers contain teaching and course materials as well as files on publicity, speeches, and other activities. Sears also worked as a journal and book editor, thus the collection houses various iterations of authors' accepted work along with Sears' line edits and final publications. Many electronic files accompanied the research, writing, and teaching files; these have been archived on the library's server. An extensive collection of audiovisual materials includes videos, sound recordings, and other media either assembled through Sears' research and teaching activities, or acquired from other sources (note: original recordings are closed to use; unless otherwise noted, listening or viewing copies must be made for research access).
The collection also houses the personal papers of Hal Call (1917-2000) and Jack Nichols (1938-2005), authors and early activists for gay rights. These two large sub-collections contain writings, correspondence, research files, diaries, audiovisual material (separated and removed to the Audiovisual Series), and photographs.
Taken as a whole, the James T. Sears Papers offer a rich source of primary documents and information on gay, lesbian, and bisexual culture in the United States, especially in the South, and its representation in literature and in the press, both positive and negative. The collection also provides extensive documentation on the history of the gay rights movement in the U.S. and abroad, including the evolution of organizations such as the Mattachine Society and related gay movement publications; sexuality studies in the U.S. and teaching sexuality in primary and secondary classrooms; gays in the military; drag queen, lesbian, and bisexual communities; and many other topics relevant to sexual identity in society. The collection also include anthropological field notes of Sears' extensive research and travels in the Philippines related to sexualities and sex education.

This group of folders contains a mix of documents that were produced by individual chapters as well as national conventions of the Society, w/some individual folders containing items from multiple sources; all are interfiled chronologically.
[Some items removed to Hal Call Papers, Oversize Materials.]
Consists of thirty years of Hal Call's yearbooks and appointment books in forty-five volumes, plus an undated World War II era notebook. Items contain a mix of appointments, lists of contacts, and brief day-to-day record-keeping for various financial transactions of the Mattachine Society.
[Processing note: Photographs and slides relating to Hal Call are filed in the box for all photographic materials in this subseries.]
A mix of individual and organizational correspondence relating to the history of gay rights, the history of the Mattachine Society and its various chapters, and to Sears's research for his book. Individuals prominently represented, mainly in the early years, include Henry Gerber, Frank McCourt, and Manuel boyFrank. Organizational correspondence, heavily concentrated in the 1950s and early 1960s, includes: material about the early history of the Mattachine in San Francisco; some material from the New York chapter; and correspondence with other organizations such as ONE, Inc. and the Atheneum Society of American, Inc., the Florida activist group founded by Richard Inman. Finally, Sears's research correspondence, including some email, is filed at the end of this file set. Arranged chronogically.
Contains a variety of autobiographical documents for Jim Kepner and Prescott Townsend. Although the Kepner folders, as received, are labeled as diaries, they actually appear to be a typescript memoir written in the late 1980s or early 1990s. Arranged by author, then chronologically.
Consists mainly of multiple drafts in typescript of various chapters of Behind the Mask of the Mattachine. At the beginning of these is a folder for Sears's 1999 proposal for the book, originally to be known as "Calling Shots" . At the end of the group are several folders of visual materials for the book, including photographs, clippings, and other printed materials. Since these items were numbered and thus possibly keyed to one or more drafts of the book, they were left in the current folder group rather than separated by format. Filed chronologically to the extent possible, but folder contents vary: most contain multiple drafts of a single chapter, but others contain a single draft of multiple chapters.
Contains transcripts of interviews with over forty individuals that Sears conducted or gathered as part of his research for Behind the Mask of the Mattachine. Interviews conducted by Sears took place in the late 1990s and early 2000s, while those by other researchers took place as much as thirty years earlier up through the 1990s; other interviewers include Paul Cain, Martin Meeker, and Frank Prager. For most transcripts there are release forms signed by the interviewees; these are usually filed at the front of the folder containing the transcripts, but others were also left as received, in a separate folder at the beginning of the folder group. In addition to transcripts and release forms, folders also contain associated correspondence and e-mail between Sears, other researchers, and the interviewees; printed material; research notes; and a few photographs. Some folders contain only these supporting materials and no transcripts; they often appear to be preparatory work for interviews that did not take place. Interviews are mainly concerned with the Mattachine Society in San Francisco in the 1950s-1970s, but also cover chapters in other cities. Interviewees prominently cited in the book include: Martin Block, Ken Burns, Frank Kameny, Jim Kepner, Hal Lawson, Dorr Legg, Don Lucas, Phyllis Lyon, Del Martin, Jack Nichols, and Randy Wicker. Transcripts for several interviews with Hal Call are all housed in the Hal Call folder group in this subseries. Arranged alphabetically.
Contains 187 black-and-white prints, 25 color prints, 44 negatives, and circa 150 slides documenting three topics: the life of Hal Call; materials which may have been assembled by Call relating to an unidentified project on the history of gay erotica; and the early history of the Mattachine Society. The bulk of the materials relate to Hal Call and document his childhood, family, military service in World War II, work history, and include a variety of professional portraits and personal snapshots taken at different periods of his life. Separated by format, then arranged alphabetically by topic.
A variety of clippings, flyers, legal case histories, newsletters, photocopied articles, research about the history of erotica, and other printed materials. Consists mainly of documents generated by or about various chapters of the Mattachine Society in the 1960s and 1970s, but also includes research that Sears gathered in preparing his book. Newsletters from Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco form the largest category, comprising about a third of the materials gathered here. The Randy Wicker folders contain materials by and about Wicker. Arranged alphabetically, with folder titles derived from topical subjects, publication titles, and people's names.

While the political climate and need for action are often discussed in letters in this series, correspondence also covers topics of a more personal nature, including health, jobs, and Nichols' efforts to publish his literary work. Letters to and from friends and lovers, particularly Clarke and Logan Carter, are included as well. Additional major correspondents with Nichols include his mother Mary Finlayson Lund, Leo Skir, Bob Kunst, and James T. Sears.

FAIRFIELD — Fructose – it seems as if it's in everything we eat and drink today.
It's in our energy drinks, cereals, desserts and sodas.
Fructose itself is a naturally occurring monosaccharide, or, simple sugar, found in many plants. It's a nutritionally important carbohydrate, yet in recent years researchers have argued that fructose is one of the leading causes of diabetes.
Researchers and dietitians dispute that it isn't necessarily the fructose found in fruits and other plants that are harmful – with the exception of people with diabetes – it's the added sweeteners such as high fructose corn syrup that are cheaply produced and provide little nutritional value.
A recent study by Yale School of Medicine researchers now argues that consumption of fructose may cause overeating.
The study finds that when another monosaccharide glucose is consumed, it suppresses brain activity that promotes a desire to eat. Fructose, by contrast, is allegedly found unable to suppress that desire.
Dr. Jean-Marc Schwarz, a researcher and professor at Touro University in Vallejo, has been studying the effects of fructose for the past 20 years. While he's skeptical to accept the Yale study point-blank, he acknowledges that it has merit.
Schwarz studied the metabolic effect of fructose and how it differs from glucose.
The way they are metabolized is a key difference, Schwarz said. Most glucose remains in the bloodstream as energy, while excess glucose is stored in the liver as glycogen, or stored energy. When there is excess fructose, the liver converts it and stores it as fat.
This is why, Schwarz said, drinking a large sugary soda, for example, creates a "tsunami effect" in the liver.
"The liver is very overwhelmed and has to break down the fructose," he said.
With the popularity of the ingredient, Schwarz focused much of his research on the effect of high fructose corn syrup. He compared the consumption of high fructose drinks to that of force feeding a duck to fatten it for foie gras.
Whether or not fructose intake actually causes overeating, Schwarz said limiting fructose intake is essential either way.
"Reducing sugar consumption is a good idea," he said. "It stays in the liver . . . it may not be perceived by the brain . . . We do not have a full understanding yet."
The threat of fructose and overeating may be plausible, but Sharon Martin, a dietitian with NorthBay Medical Center, is more worried that Americans are regularly substituting high-fructose foods over whole, nutritious foods.
"By consuming a processed beverage or food, we miss out on many vitamins, minerals, fiber and other components important in maintaining our health," she said.
There are some ways people can reduce fructose consumption without going hungry, Martin said.
Replacing sweetened beverages and drinks with unsweetened or naturally sweet foods and drinks is one simple way to cut sugar intake. Choosing water over soda or fruit over cake can save hundreds of calories.
Martin also suggests reading the ingredients label, in addition to the Nutrition Facts Label, carefully before buying. The ingredients are listed in order of amount, the first being the most plentiful ingredient.
And if you're eating out, ask for nutrition information on the meals.
"If you don't see it, ask," she said.

What an excellent article. Heather---keep writing articles like this!!! Diet is a major contributing factor in health outcomes and great articles like this help get the word out about what people can do for their own benefit. I hate soda drinks and I won't allow my kids to drink them. Same with energy drinks and HFCS laden sports drinks. I make my kids dilute their fruit juice with 50% water. I purchase fruit juice with no sugar or HFCS in it. I use honey as a sweetner in tea or in fruit salads or breakfast cereal. Check the ingrediants in the foods you buy. Both shredded wheat and grape nuts don't have sugar in them. Kids diet's are critical to their development and advancement and there are too many parents who allow this kids to eat sugary cereals, foods and soda / sports drinks. I don't believe in banning sugar or HFCS. Education, knowledge and responsible free choice is the answer.

This was take about a minute later than the shot I posted earlier this month, and as you can see, his attention was starting to wander by this point :)
On a related note ...
If you missed my previous post, I'm going to be running a new class with PPSOP: The Art of Black and White Photography. If you click the previous link you'll see that the course covers: black and white conversion techniques; working with portraits; combining conversion techniques and selectively altering tonal range and contrast; and toning and colorizing your black and white images – all of which are techniques that I used to create today's image. Specifically, I blended a Channel Mixer conversion with a Hue/Saturation adjustment (to even out the tonal balance for the image as a whole), added a few masked curves (to lighten his eyes and alter the global contrast), and then used a Curve to add a very slight warm tone to the highlights.
And while I'll be discussing all of these techniques in The Art of Black and White Photography>, I've also covered them in my own tutorials, specifically: Portraits: part one, Black and White: part one and part two, and Toning Colour Images.

btw the 150mbps on their website is a LIE/mistake they only go up to 75mbps but otherwise seem pretty good
Wow in my area in Belleville I can get 60 down. Did not even know that was possible. I guess they are with Rogers since Rogers in my area has the highest down.
It would appear that they also offer unlimited plans on Cogeco
Who else resells cogeco?
I am actually considering them too. They also have IPTV service which I may take if (and if..) Internet service is good and reliable. So far customer service has not been top notch when talking with them.If I dont like their service I will cancel and switch but keep the modem. I dont know why Teksavvy doesnt have DCW775 on their supported modem list ?
The speeds in that offer are for Rogers cable speeds available through aggregated POI. Based on the limited information we have available here on the forums it looks like they are dis-aggregated. We know all of the TPIA have to switch but perhaps these folks already have and we just don't know it yet?
yes saw that on start website. I can tell you they are losing customers just because they have lower data usage/bandwidth for the same price as other ISPs. Why 150GB instead of 300GB and lose customers ? I dont get that.
Here is my speedtest: On DSL 25/10. .we're talking about cable for ciktel, my area, bolton ontario, the highest dsl we can get is 6meg, i see from your stats ur not getting ur full upload though
