Digestive Disorders Health Center
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatogram (ERCP)
How It Is Done continued...
You will be asked to lie on your left side with your head tilted slightly forward. A mouth guard may be inserted to protect your teeth from the endoscope. The lubricated tip of the endoscope will be guided into your mouth while the doctor gently presses your tongue out of the way. You may be asked to swallow to help move the tube along. The instrument is no thicker than many foods you swallow. Once the endoscope is in your esophagus, your head will be tilted upright to help the scope slide down.
Your doctor will slowly move the endoscope into your stomach and duodenum. Your doctor looks at your esophagus, stomach, and duodenum as the scope moves forward. When the endoscope reaches your duodenum, you will be turned over to lie flat on your abdomen.
A small amount of air will be injected through the scope to make it easier for the doctor to see. The endoscope is moved forward until it reaches the point where the ducts from the pancreas and gallbladder drain into the duodenum (the papilla). A thin tube called a catheter is then passed through the endoscope into the papilla, and contrast material is injected into the bile or pancreatic ducts. Several X-rays are taken. You will remain on your abdomen while the X-rays are developed. If necessary, additional X-rays may be taken.
Surgical instruments, called biopsy forceps or brushes, may be inserted through the endoscope to collect samples. If a gallstone is seen during the test, the doctor can sometimes remove it. A narrowed bile duct can be held open by inserting a small wire-mesh or plastic tube called a stent through the endoscope and into the duct.
When the test is completed, the endoscope is slowly withdrawn.
After the test
After the ERCP is completed, you will be observed in a recovery room for 1 to 2 hours. If your throat was numbed before the test, you will not be allowed to eat or drink until your throat is no longer numb and you are able to swallow without choking. You can then resume eating and drinking normally.
Unless you are staying in the hospital, you will need to have someone drive you home after the test. You will not be allowed to drive or to return to work for 24 hours.
Your doctor will make sure you do not have any signs of complications before you go home. If your doctor removed a gallstone or placed a stent during the test, you may need to stay in the hospital overnight.

Originally written on Fox Sports Tennessee | Last updated 11/18/14
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee's Bernard Pollard isn't happy about his latest fine, and he isn't hiding his feelings. "It stinks," the Titans safety said of the 42,000 fine the NFL levied on him for his hit against Houston receiver Andre Johnson. Pollard said he has been fined so many times by the NFL that he has lost track. The veteran added that he would have been fined at least 100,000 or suspended if he leveled a receiver the way Texans cornerback Kareem Jackson did. "It would have been bad," Pollard said Wednesday. The NFL fined Pollard and Jackson the same 42,000, though Pollard said league officials told him he did everything right on the hit against Johnson. But Pollard was fined for hitting a defenseless receiver when a flag wasn't thrown. He said the NFL wants defenders playing "flag football." "I'm not going to allow them to change the way that I play football," Pollard said. "Like I said, it stinks. The bad part about us as players, for the fans, for the coaches, fo...

Riding the school bus was a way of life. It was a chance to �unwind� from the busy school day before getting home and starting the evening chores. You could also watch the year �unwind� from the deep greens of late summer to golds and browns then to the winter blues, and finally back to those brilliant greens of spring. The four seasons really take on a new meaning when you ride the rural school bus.

Rating: 5/5Good for the price [Especially for the bassheads]
This review is from: JVC Xtreme Xplosives HA-FX101 Earphone
Pros: Very good with bass..... If you are a basshead who has or likes much bass from Subwoofers or headphones then these are the PERFECT headphones for the price... I got mines for $15 & they are amazing.... They aren't studio headphones either so don't expect good sound.... I've had these before, but they broke after a year of daily use.... Good enough for me...
Cons: Kind of bad quality headphones, Very VERY VERY good when listening to bassy songs, like Riff Raff or Lil Wayne or Gucci Mane or whatever.... My other pair that broke on me that I ordered from a.m.a.z.o.n for $12 where Better sounding, so I can only blame the vendor for selling me a strange sounding pair....
Other Thoughts: My brother has 2 15's subwoofers in his trunk & it bumps hard & so my point was that I know how real & good bass sounds like.... If you use an EQ & play some rap music with these buds then ohh you will be pleased from $15, it like blasts your ear drums [Which is a good thing for the bassheads like me] & so thats how you know you got REALLY good bass.... If you are interested in a pair then order a pair from a.m.a.z.o.n, they are wayy cheaper & they don't take like 2 weeks to ship... I had a frustration from the vendor I bought it from here on newegg named Electronics Express... So just becarful with them...

Rating: 4/5A real GEM
This review is from: JVC Xtreme Xplosives HA-FX101 Earphone
Pros: I am not an audiophile, but I can spot good sound when I hear it. I initially compared this to my over the ear modded HTF600 and just as I expected the soundstage is no where as good. But it is no slouch either. You can still distinguish the center from the left and the right.
Cons: Construction leaves something to be desired. Cables are thin but I ran and sweated with these headphones on for the past month and they are still fine as day one. Also you need to let these burn for a long TIMEE. Initially the mids are garbage and highs are too harsh. so BURN em good!! Also, I noticed hissing when no audio is playing, fortunately my phone is smart enough not to play audio when there isnt any audio playing(lol obvious feature on my NEXUS 4 but nonexistent feature on laptops built in soundcard)
Other Thoughts: If you own an Android device, and you love bass you owe yourself to get NOOZY media player(check xda) and turn on the enhancements and turn up the bass slightly along with the lower highs(I LIKE BASS) and this headphone will blow your head off. Bassy when you need them to be and very clear highs when playing rock, alternative etc.

Press release from Marketwire
Rockhaven Resources Ltd. Announces Exploration Update Klaza Gold-Silver Project-Yukon
Monday, July 11, 2011
Rockhaven Resources Ltd. Announces Exploration Update Klaza Gold-Silver Project-Yukon15:30 EDT Monday, July 11, 2011VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 11, 2011) - Rockhaven Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:RK) (the "Company" or "Rockhaven") is pleased to announce that three drills and a large excavator are currently working at its wholly-owned, road accessible Klaza bulk tonnage gold-silver discovery in the Dawson Gold Belt, Yukon. The Klaza property hosts four parallel, 5 to 50 m wide, structural zones of epithermal-type gold-silver mineralization. All zones consist of quartz-sulphide veins, breccias and fracture networks that are spatially associated with quartz-feldspar porphyry dykes that intrude granitic country rocks. Four laterally contiguous zones have been defined within a 1500 m wide, northwesterly trending structural corridor. The area that has been explored by trenching and drilling represents less than 5% of the 60 sq km property. Geochemical and geophysical anomalies extend well beyond the area of trenching and drilling. Current work is focused on expanding the Klaza zone discovery which is the widest and most consistently mineralized zone. In late 2010, three drill holes tested below discovery surface trenches and returned grades of: From (m)To (m)Interval (m)Gold (g/t)Silver (g/t)KL-10-0362.08112.3650.281.1023.5Including86.93106.6819.752.2936.1KL-10-07128.00164.5036.503.23117.7Including134.00149.3015.307.20260.0KL-10-10137.00211.3074.300.708.3Including137.00146.309.301.517.4Including178.00211.3033.301.0414.7At present, two drills are concentrating on definition drilling the discovery along a confirmed 500 m strike length of the Klaza zone. A third drill and excavator are testing new targets along strike of the Klaza zone and the three other parallel zones (BRX, HERC and BYG). 20 drill holes (4,000 m) have been completed on the Klaza property to date. Detailed drilling has tested the Klaza zone at 50 m drill centres, along 250 m of strike and to a depth of 200 m down-dip from surface. Assays are pending.Mineralized intercepts appear similar in width to those seen in the 2010 drill program.Visual descriptions of mineralized intercepts appear consistent with the nearby 2010 drill holes.Surface trenching confirms the zone remains open along strike in both directions.Drill intercepts confirm the mineralized system is open for expansion to depth. A large drill may be brought in to define the down-dip extension below 200 m.Please note that assays are not yet available for any of the 2011 drill core. Those assays will be released in batches, after all samples from each group of holes passes QA/QC protocols.By fall 2011, Rockhaven expects to continue drilling at the current pace and complete more than 8,000 m of trenching on the Klaza property. A map showing completed and planned holes can be viewed on the Company's website.The 2011 program is being conducted by Archer, Cathro & Associates (1981) Limited. Technical information in this news release has been reviewed by Heather Smith, B.Sc., P.Geo., a qualified person for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101.Rockhaven Resources Ltd. is well funded and currently has approximately $9 million in its treasury. The company is focused on growth through exploration of its own projects and continues to work towards adding new advanced stage projects to its portfolio.For additional information concerning Rockhaven Resources Ltd. or its various exploration projects please visit the Company's website at www.rockhavenresources.com.FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: Matthew TurnerRockhaven Resources email@example.com the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

Thoughts on Taste: Jeremy Renner
Jeremy Renner is no stranger to on-screen danger. In The Hurt Locker, he played Sergeant First Class William James, the leader of an Iraq-based American Explosive Ordnance Disposal squad; in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, he played Agent Brandt, Ethan Hunt's fearless and skilled partner; in The Town, he played blue-collar bank robber James Coughlin; and in The Bourne Legacy, he played black ops CIA agent Aaron Cross. But this is just a sampling of the edgy, fearless characters that Renner has brought to life on the silver screen.
When not on a Hollywood set, Renner might be seen speeding around the streets of L.A. on his BMW S 1000RR sport bike, or he could have a gun in his hands, working to improve his marksmanship on the firing range. We tracked down the 42-year-old actor—not always an easy task in itself—and asked him to divulge his favorite pursuits for living dangerously and for just living the good life.
Out of all the characters that you've played that have embraced dangerous lifestyles, is there one that you connected with the most?
"With every character, I identify with some part of me to them, otherwise I couldn't play them. The one that was the closest had to be Sergeant First Class William James in The Hurt Locker. The main thing was his tenacity and perseverance to do one thing really well, and the sacrifices that you have to make to attempt to do one thing great. I connected to him for my own sacrifices to want to be an actor. That blurred the lines."
What's the most dangerous thing that you've done off-camera?
"I've raced Ferraris at pretty high speeds on the track at Mont Tremblant; and I like to shoot weapons on a range. It's live ammo, and there are a lot of people around, so any jerk who doesn't know what he's doing can make it pretty dangerous. Of course, any time you get on a motorcycle in L.A. is pretty dangerous."
How do you approach dangerous activities?
"Things that I'm afraid of, I try to embrace. Most fears exist because of ignorance; fear and ignorance go hand and hand. Once you embrace something and learn about something, the fear dissipates. I'm not afraid of guns or weapons anymore, and it's because I'm very knowledgeable about them."
Are there any dangerous activities on your bucket list?
"I don't really have a bucket list necessarily, but there are things that I've wanted to do that I haven't done yet. To fly a helicopter was always a boyhood dream, or to go skydiving. Those are things that I guess you could consider dangerous, but they're not life-threatening in my mind.
I've always had fantasies of wanting to climb Everest for Christ's sake; but I think I'm getting too old to do that, and I don't know that I have the time to train for it either. But as a young man, I always thought it would be really cool to do that."
How do you like to unwind at the end of a day? What's your ideal indulgence?
"I smoke a pipe a couple of times a week with a nice cocktail. I love the smell of a pipe, and I love the idea of it; it's a very Zen thing for me. My grandfather used to smoke a pipe; it's a smell that brings back very good memories.
Cigar smoke is very offensive, I think, even though I like the taste of it. But pipe smoke is really woodsy-sweet. It's almost a leathery cologne. It smells like a sugary wood fire, and that's what I love about it."
What's your ideal cocktail?
"I do have a bar at my house, but I don't make frou-frou drinks. The one cocktail that I'll make is Hendricks gin with a splash of soda, a little cucumber, and lime. That's a very fine cocktail, whatever somebody might call it. But it has to be Hendricks gin."
Why Hendricks?
"Some gin tastes like turpentine. Hendricks tastes the best, and it isn't so harsh on the palate. Different spirits create different buzzes, if you will, and some gin makes people crazy. Hendricks doesn't make people too crazy, I don't think."
What's the most important element of your home bar?
"The most important thing to me is a nice cube of ice—the largest ice cube that will fit in the glass. If you have a really fine spirit, why dilute it with a bunch of crap? A cube of ice is the main thing that I'll dilute a fine booze with, if anything at all."
What's your philosophy on being the host for a party?
"It depends on the type of party that you're throwing, but you always want kick-ass cocktails or really fine spirits or good beer and good quality wines. A good playlist, too, because music is huge. If there are any duties that you need to do, give them to somebody else so that you can be with people and have a good time.
You don't want to be running around throwing trays of cheese at people, you want to be with the people. So as long as you have good drinks and good music, you can't go wrong. Delegate those other responsibilities to someone else. Otherwise, it's just work; it's not fun. Enjoy yourself."

Zimbabwe claimed the first upset of the World T20 when they beat Australia by five wickets at Newlands.
Needing 139 to win, the minnows got home with a ball to spare. Brendan Taylor was the man of the moment, finishing on 60*.
Australia now need to beat England on Friday to progress to the Super Eights.
To be fair, Australia have only just returned from a long break and were rusty. Adam Gilchrist, Matthew Hayden and Ricky Ponting all failed to get into double figures, and while Andrew Symonds (33) and Brad Hodge (35) got going, 138-9 was a disappointing total.
Timothy Sibanda got the Zimbabwe reply off to a confident start by hitting 23 off 15 balls. While a flurry of wickets reduced the Africans to 55-3 and then 70-4, Taylor stood firm, playing the perfect anchor innings.
Rain then briefly stopped play, with Australia ahead by six runs on the D/L Method. However, the bad weather soon passed much to Zimbabwe's relief.
They calmly edged towards the target, with Hamilton Masakadze chipping in with a valuable 27 before being dismissed with the score on 123.
While Zimbabwe always looked in control, an excellent penultimate over by Brett Lee meant they needed 12 off the last six balls. A boundary from Taylor off the first relieved the pressure and he sent the fifth ball down to the fine leg boundary, albeit off the pads.
That sparked a massive celebration, both on the field and in the crowd, as the shell-shocked Aussies sheepishly shook hands with their opponents.
Australia 138-9 (20 overs)
Brad Hodge 35, Andrew Symonds 33
Zimbabwe 139-5 (19.5 overs)
Brendan Taylor 60*, Hamilton Masakadze 27
Zimbabwe won by 5 wickets

FORT WORTH Fort Worth officially unveiled its plans for a memorial to President John F. Kennedy in downtown's General Worth Square on Tuesday.
Kennedy spent the final night of his presidency at a Fort Worth hotel. Then the president gave a speech to the Chamber of Commerce in Fort Worth.
They were a part of the extended Fort Worth family, said Fort Worth Mayor Mike Moncrief. The way we treat anyone who comes to our city, while they are here, they are a member of our extended family.
Immediately after his Fort Worth stop, the president headed to Dallas, where he was gunned down during a downtown motorcade on November 23, 1963.
To mark Fort Worth's place in history, an eight-foot bronze sculpture of JFK is being built, as well as visuals and audio recordings.
I think this is more than a tribute; it's a statement of our city, Moncrief said.
The project is the work of Downtown Fort Worth Initiatives, Inc.
We are halfway to our goal of a million dollars for construction, said Andy Taft of Downtown Fort Worth.
The group needs $500,000 to create the surrounding plaza, and another $500,000 to maintain it. Now it's up to public donations to make that happen.
The monument is scheduled to open in May of next year.

BlueKai, a marketplace for marketing data, has raised a $3.2 million first round from Redpoint Ventures, according peHUB. The company's exact plans are a bit vague, as the site just says they're building a marketplace out of their passion for polite and relevant marketing data. The Bellevue, WA-based company was started by Omar Tawakol, formerly of mobile searcher Medio and Revenue Science, according to John Cook at Seattle PI. Further adding to the confusion about what they've got going on, Medio says it will have some sort of business relationship with BlueKai, which should be announced soon.

Richard Silvestri: Second Amendment: Leave protection of citizens to military
Recently I sent messages to my congressman and two U.S. senators. While I did not receive what I consider to be gutsy responses in the face of the National Rifle Association, I received the following from Sen. Marco Rubio:
"Thank you for writing me regarding the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I understand this is an important issue and I appreciate hearing your thoughts.
"The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states 'the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' I hold the fundamental belief the Second Amendment should not be altered. At the same time, I have always been open to measures that would keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill.
"In light of the recent tragedies, some have suggested restricting gun ownership and have suggested ways to curb gun violence. I am always open to ideas on how to stop violent crimes, however I have concerns when these suggestions are solely directed toward restricting gun ownership. Given the Constitution's clear stance on gun ownership, I will continue to support an individual's right to own firearms.
"It is an honor and a privilege to serve you as your United States Senator. I appreciate you offering your opinion on this issue. If I can ever be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me."
To this my response is:
The Second Amendment states: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
As in all sentences, citing only one phrase can completely alter the meaning. In Rubio's case, citing only half the sentence that comprises the entire Second Amendment gives completely false information. In addition, the Second Amendment is an amendment to the Constitution. Amendments — even the Constitution entirely — can be nullified just as the 21st Amendment nullified the 18th Amendment and no one's Constitutional rights were infringed.
To cite the second part only makes no more sense than to cite the first part only. If the second part was the entire thought of the writers/framers, then they would have left out the first part. Therefore, it appears quite reasonable to infer that the first part is a proviso of the second part.
In other words, militias were creatures of each state to be manned by the citizenry. In those days the quickest way to do this was to provide each citizen to right to keep a gun.
Furthermore, there was no way the framers of this amendment could have foreseen that the smoothbore, single-shot, slow, inaccurate, short-range, muzzleloader available then to all would give rise to semi-automatic, supersonic-bullet firing, long range, extremely accurate weapons with the ability to fire continuously from 100-plus-round magazines.
I think Rubio would agree, then, it is time to bring the Constitution into the 21st century and replace this amendment with one that makes sense in light of today's society in which innocents are slaughtered at will. Meanwhile let's leave the protection of the citizenry to the military and the police and arm only them with these modern weapons.

RICHMOND (AP) -- Carnival Cruise Lines is returning to Norfolk.
Gov. Terry McAuliffe announced the news in his first State of the Commonwealth speech Monday.
18 months after announcing it was ceasing operations in Virginia, Carnival will sail from Norfolk in the spring and fall of 2015.
'I am pleased that Carnival Cruise Lines will be returning to Virginia next year, which will further bolster our strong tourism industry and usher in a new wave of economic growth in Hampton Roads,' said Governor McAuliffe. 'Carnival's transition back to Virginia shows the strength of the region's assets, from the infrastructure support the Port provides to the nearby passenger amenities, and is a major step forward in encouraging more ship calls and regular homeport service to the Commonwealth,' he said.
McAuliffe said this will not only generate tourism revenue but will be a catalyst for job growth.
'Norfolk is thrilled to welcome the world's largest cruise line back in 2015,' said Norfolk Mayor Paul D. Fraim. 'Carnival's decision confirms Norfolk serves an important role in the competitive cruise industry. The seasonal voyages will complement our already robust schedule of stop-over cruises.'
Carnival will release the itinerary in the spring, City spokeswoman Lori Crouch told WVEC.com.
McAuliffe said his goal is to encourage Carnival to bring more ship calls and, ultimately, regular homeport service to downtown Norfolk.
According to a 2013 study by the Virginia Tourism Corporation, an estimated 8.1 million adults within a five-hour drive of Norfolk are likely to take a cruise over the next three years, making Norfolk a prime location to bring in more cruise line activity, McAuliffe noted.

Paula Gunn Allen
SOURCE: "Bringing Home the Fact: Tradition and Continuity in the Imagination," in Recovering the Word: Essays on Native American Literature, edited by Brian Swann and Arnold Krupat, University of California Press, 1987, pp. 570-78.
Allen is a Pueblo Laguna and Sioux poet, critic, essayist, novelist, and editor. In the following excerpt, she discusses the inclusion of Navajo and Pueblo beliefs in House Made of Dawn, arguing that Momaday's focus in the novel is sickness, healing, and harmony.
As familiarity with the Bible makes Western culture accessible to the understanding, the basic texts of the Pueblo or the Navajo make their cultures, especially their literature, accessible to scholarly interpretation. It is a nearly hopeless task to explicate House Made of Dawn without such a familiarity, though an understanding of historical processes in the Southwest and of Western attitudes and lore is also important to this task. The basic meanings important to these American Indian systems are carried over into the book. To be unaware of the meanings of these symbols and their accompanying structures is to miss the greater part of the significance of the novel.
It is not impossible to read this novel when one is not conversant with the underlying symbolic structure, but the reading will result in confusion and distortion of what the writer was up to. It will also probably result in political distortions that will have an ultimately disastrous effect socially, for such is the power of the imagination over our more conscious activities. The symbols are there; the deep meanings are there. It is necessary to bring these factors into consciousness when studying the novel in order for them to have the ultimate curative or restorative effect which is the basic purpose of that book. For if elements improperly understood are imagined with sufficient care, a distortion will occur in our relationships with those misimagined persons. If House Made of Dawn is seen only as the chronicle of a man "fallen between two chairs," the impact on Indian men and women will continue to be that of victimization. For as we perceive, so we behave; and as we behave, so we create.
In order to imagine Abel as he is, the symbol-structure of the novel must be carefully examined. The underlying assumptions about the nature of reality and of the human being's place within it must be imagined truly; for Abel is not so much a man caught between two cultures and two orientations to reality as he is a medicine person who does not understand the nature of his being or of his proper function. The novel, in its structure and in its symbolic content, carefully makes this clear, though the meaning of Abel's experience is not evident unless the beliefs of the Pueblo and Navajo are taken into account. Momaday makes this point through the eyes of Angela St. John, through the eyes of Benally, and through the peculiar character of Tosamah as it contrasts with that of Abel. The identity of the protagonist is drawn through the author's personal history, through the history of the Bahkyush and through the journals of Fray Nicolás; it is apparent in the peculiar interweaving of names and places and, especially, in the sequence of events as they occur in the novel.
House Made of Dawn is an act of the imagination designed to heal; it is about the relationship between good and evil, and the proper place of a certain human being within that relationship. It is not about redemption, for redemption is not a Pueblo (indeed, not an American Indian) notion; it is not about a fall from grace. It is about sickness and disharmony, and about health and harmony. The title is the clue: "House Made of Dawn" is the first line of the chant sung on the third day of the Navajo healing ceremony called the Night Chant. It is the first prayer of the third morning ritual; the third day is designated the Day of the West. The prayer appears in the third chapter of the novel. Narrated by the Navajo friend of Abel, Ben Benally, this chapter is concerned with Abel's sojourn in Los Angeles, the major relocation center for southwestern Indians on the west coast. The prayer is sung in the Night Chant as part of the Purification section of the ceremony, and is accompanied by a rite in which a set of eight prayer offerings "sacred to gods of the shrine known as the House Made of Dawn (in the distant canyon of Tségihi)" are used to bless or purify the patient and are then sacrificed or offered to the sun. Tségihi is an ancient Pueblo ruin, and the controlling metaphor of the book can be said to be the relationship of the sun to Abel. The sun forms the central issue of life at Walatowa. It is the race which is performed each year at spring equinox as an offering of the strength of the people to the sun and as a source of strength and power among them for the coming planting season which frames the book. The peyote ceremony in Los Angeles is a sun rite, and so is one of the purification rituals which Abel must go through. It is also significant that a patient participating in a Night Chant offers himself on the last morning of his healing to the rising sun, singing these words:
Thus will it be beautiful.
Thus walk in beauty, my grandchild.
As these words are sung, the patient faces east and breathes in the breath of dawn.
In addition to these clues, Momaday has structured his novel in ways that are directly analogous to the major Chantway structure. The events of twelve days are chronicled, and each of these is divided into subsections that consist of flashbacks, events of that day in the past, and events surrounding the main action on that day.
According to Leland C. Wyman [in his 1975 Beautyway: A Navajo Ceremonial], there are ten or twelve more-or-less standard rituals within a major Chantway. These can vary with circumstances and the particular Chantway selected for healing the particular illness troubling the patient. The major variants which appear in House Made of Dawn include the consecration of the hogan (which does not appear in the novel until Abel returns home), a short singing, a setting-out of prayer offerings, a purification, an offering ceremony (to attract the Holy People), a cleansing, an all-night singing, a shock rite, blackening and ash-blowing, and the final dawn procedure. A feature of a healing is that various ceremonies may be tried experimentally; it seems that this may be the case with Abel. Another practice of note is the fact that the completion of a ceremonial healing may be delayed for years. Not surprisingly within a Native American framework seven years pass as Abel seeks his appropriate ceremonial and is finally healed.
In addition to the ceremonial structure, there is a layer-structure that is Pueblo at the deepest layer, Christian at the next layer, and modern Anglo at the topmost layer. Or, to phrase it another way, the book at its most superficial layer is about a displaced Indian caught between the old and the new; it is, in that sense, a sociological novel. In its middle layer it is concerned with religious conflict, that conflict which began with the first Franciscan missionaries in the Southwest and continues on to the present in the person of John Big Bluff Tosamah, missionary and Priest of the Sun. Its deepest layer is Indian: the tradition, the knowledge, the deep values of the Indian on a continent whose land and creatures are also Indian, but whose surface has been overlaid with a thin epidermis of European society. In its branching and circularity, the novel operates structurally in a way similar to the Navajo Chantway system, and in its careful divisioning it follows the number structure of 4-7-6 and 12, which are the major ceremonial numbers of the American Indian and are the classic divisions of a major chantway….
As the mythic structure of Moby Dick is the Bible, so the mythic structure of House Made of Dawn is Beautyway and Night Chant. As there are departures from the source in the former, so there are departures from the text in the latter. This is the nature of continuity: to bring those structures and symbols which retain their essential meaning forward into a changed context in such a way that the metaphysical point remains true, in spite of apparently changed circumstances. It is, perhaps, a manifestation of that law which demands that literature have a quality that appeals to humankind universally: Surely there is no more universal a theme than that of the play between good and evil, and no more universal a plot than the part humanity plays in the balance between them. There are those laws of our being which are always true; there are those processes common to humankind which always occur. It is this fact of commonality which allows a Kiowa to read and understand Moby Dick, given appropriate references, and which allows a New Englander, also appropriately guided, to read and understand House Made of Dawn.
The exchange between good and evil is not to be understood in the context of House Made of Dawn as it is understood in the context of Christian cosmology. It is the understanding that evil is an unavoidable aspect of the universe which finally allows Abel to begin his return to wholeness and to his proper place in things. It is the way of the Christian to oppose evil, and this Abel attempts to do. But it wounds him, like the arms of the dying witch, "only in proportion as Abel resisted."
Abel had thought that he could leave the pueblo and get a job, but he did not reckon with universal processes. Angela St. John was to help him get a job, but then, according to what he'd told Benally, "he got himself in trouble." The dream of the modern world was not for Abel, for it was his part to be Monster Slayer and, in his own time, to bring the people to a new world. The story, in its mythic dimension, began with Francisco—perhaps it began before Francisco, with the coming of the Bahkyush to Walatowa. Perhaps it began with the European invasion. But it was Francisco who slept with the daughter of a witch, and who abandoned her after their child was still-born. And because of his perfidy and fear, Porcingula's mother (the old Pecos bruja) cursed Abel. In the pueblo, witches traditionally transform themselves into snakes (or snakes turn themselves into humans for the purpose of witchcraft), and after the little boy is cursed by the Bahkyush bruja known as Nicolás teah-qhau, and runs, he hears a certain sound: the wind whistling around a snake hole, "and it filled him with dread. For the rest of his life it would be for him the particular sound of anguish." Indeed, for the rest of his life, as it is known to us through the novel, he would bear that curse; he would kill a snake and in turn be mortally wounded by another, the culebra Martinez in Los Angeles. Yet, had it not been for the curse and for his encounters with evil, had it not been that within his own person, perhaps because of that curse, he contained the contrary principles of light and darkness, Abel could not have made that final run and delivered that final blessing to himself and his people. Abel, like his grandfather Francisco, is a brujo himself, and so he recognizes evil. He is Snake Man and he is Bear Man. At some level, he is also Monster Slayer, prototypical hero of the Navajo. He is, like his grandfather, kin to those spirits who must run forever, keeping evil in its place. In order to do this he must first come to terms with the enormity of the thing; he must, like his grandfather, acknowledge that "evil had long since found him out and knew who he was."
The idea embodied here is perhaps strange to the Westerner. It is presumed that the forces of good are separate from the forces of evil, and the universe is conceived as a dualistic structure forever at war with itself. And so Abel perceives it, or tries to, and Tosamah perceives it so as well. But the point that is being made is that such a concept is not so: The old priest learns this, and through his journals, so does Father Olguin, who considers Fray Nicolás a saint—perhaps because the old priest was more like Francisco than like those with pious fantasies of sanctity being that condition untainted by any form of sin or evil.
The interplay between the dual forces of good and evil in this system must be recognized. It is not for human beings to attempt to annihilate either force; it might be said that it is our destiny to be forever manifesting one or the other, until we can locate the balance between them. This balance is located for Pueblos in the House of the Sun, at the mid-point of the northern and southern poles of its journey. "Just there at the saddle, where the sky is lower and brighter than elsewhere on the high black land" is the position that signals the time to clear the ditches and the "long race of the black men at dawn." The House of the Sun, which is a feature of every pueblo, is the calendar which allows the people to locate their own equilibrium in the continuous interplay of the forces of the universe; it is the ceremonial timepiece which allows a person to know "who and what and that they are."
The essential nature of pueblo life is its mysteriousness. The central issue of pueblo belief is growth and transformation; the belief in spirit is strong among them, and their life is a matter of locating the mortal being in spirit. This is not a factor of historicity, nor is it a matter of linear chronology. There is, for each individual, a perfect moment when the balance of mortal and spirit is achieved, though this moment occurs at a different point in the life of each person. Francisco achieved his perfect moment when he was a young man. He played the drum during the clan dance for the first time; he changed drums without missing a beat: "there had been nothing of time lost, no miss in the motion or the mind … and it was perfect." Afterward, the women came out and distributed food among the assembled people "in celebration of his perfect act. And from then on he had a voice in the clan, and the next year he healed a child who had been sick from birth."
In some sense, all the stories of the pueblo are about the ways in which that perfect act is achieved. The ways are different as the individuals are different; in that sense, House Made of Dawn is in the long tradition of the people, for it is a story about how a modern Indian locates his being within the center of all things, and achieves that equilibrium which is beyond words and thought.
But Abel is sick, disequilibrated; in order for him to discover himself balanced in the universe of being, he must be healed. The Navajo elements of the story are the healing elements, and the events which Abel experiences are analogous to those commonly experienced by those who have been wounded or cursed as they make their journey toward wholeness. For wholeness is the essential nature of healing: One who is whole is healed; one who is whole is holy.
Abel's trials are in the nature of the testing which the protagonist of the Chantway undergoes. Abel is subjected to at least eight such tests, and … he disobeys prohibitions established by the Holy People and gets himself into trouble. But, by this disobedience, Abel, like the Chantway protagonists, is taught the ceremonial which will be brought back to the people item by item.
What penetrates Abel's consciousness during those final brutal weeks in Los Angeles is the song Benally sings. For him, thoughts of home, the music, the stories, are the only comfort he finds; not even Milly can reach across the barriers of his isolation after he has been wounded by Tosamah, and by Martinez. Benally narrates his account: "House made of dawn. I used to tell him about those old ways, the stories and the sings, Beautyway and Night Chant. I sang some of those things, and I told him what they meant, what I thought they were about."
The prime feature of Navajo life is the healing. Singers devote many years to learning one Chantway perfectly. The ceremonies are handed down in the traditional way, but must be learned and paid for by the apprentice before he can practice independently. The Navajo may be the finest healers in the world; certainly, their Chantway system is one of the more complex metaphysical systems, made even more so by its relationship to Pueblo ceremonialism. The two are related, vaguely, as are Abel and Benally, who says "We're related somehow, I think. The Navajos have a clan they call by the name of that place." This relationship is an old one. It goes way back in time, beyond the coming of the Spaniards, and is as complicated in its inter-workings as the Chantway system itself. The relationship is important, for clansmen have a tighter bond than might be supposed, and this bond is of more Spirit than of earth. For clanspeople derive from the same mythic, the same archetypal source; their power and their consciousness are more closely attuned, because of their common source, than are those of many blood relatives. Then, too, Benally is a deeply traditional person himself; he'd have to be since he is able to sing parts of the Chantways and talk about what they mean. Benally is not a singer, but he is as much of one as Abel is of a priest when they meet—he is as much of one as many modern Indians will ever be, and it is enough. For through the power of his song, Abel survives the worst beating Benally has ever seen and returns to Walatowa to spend the seven days of Francisco's dying with him. After preparing the old man for burial. Abel takes up his place; running into the dawn, he performs his own perfect act of pure balance, and learns the true meaning of the songs:
He was alone and running on. All of his being was concentrated in the sheer motion of running on, and he was past caring about the pain. Pure exhaustion laid hold of his mind, and he could see at last without having to think…. He was running, and under his breath he began to sing. There was no sound, and he had no voice; he had only the words of a song. And he went running on the rise of the song. House made of pollen, house made of dawn.
So Abel finds himself healed, and in the recovery of his primal completeness he sings the chant to the sun, in the dawn light, which is sung by one who is healed.
The ceremonial is the means of achieving wholeness of being; it is the vehicle of the imagination which allows the human being to imagine himself fully—outside the bounds of social concerns, and beyond the constraints of physical imperatives. It is that part or function of consciousness where the Spirit and the Human meet and merge and become one, and it is beyond history or time as it is far from the narrow confines of pure reason…. The narrative concerning his journey toward the center of his being is analogous to the narratives connected to the Chantways and the ceremonial narratives of the Pueblo, in which the significance of events is embodied and transmitted. It is this process of working events into meaning which makes them true—more true, perhaps, than they would have been otherwise.

Gartner recently released their 2013 report on ADLM. I'm very pleased to see that, once again, they've placed us in the leaders quadrant. And this placement doesn't even consider the new capabilities we delivered in 2013 – it's based on the 2012 wave of products.
While any assessment like this has to be carefully evaluated with your own requirements in mind, it's very satisfying to be recognized for the hard work we do to try to create a great product for development organizations. At the same time, I always feel like we've barely scratched the surface on everything there is to do. We recently met with our Microsoft MVP group to review our plans for the next year and the primary reaction I got from them was that they were blown away by the amount of new value we have in the pipeline. The fun never stops.

September 03, 2014 // 3:30pm — 5:00pm
On September 18th, Scottish voters will decide whether their country will be the first to secede from a Western-European state in recent history. After two years of campaigning it would seem that politicians, academics, and journalists would have a good understanding of the public sentiment. Using very recent data from the only large-scale, representative, and comprehensive attitudes surveys in Scotland, however, this talk will highlight where the general "wisdom" about Scots' attitudes towards the referendum may be empirically wrong. The talk will also identify issues that may still move people, in either direction, before casting their vote.

"They Can Live in the Desert but Nowhere Else: A History of the Armenian Genocide"
August 14, 2014 // 3:00pm — 4:30pm
Starting in early 1915, the Ottoman Turks began deporting and killing hundreds of thousands of Armenians in the first major genocide of the twentieth century. By the end of the First World War, the number of Armenians in what would become Turkey had been reduced by ninety percent—more than a million people. A century later, the Armenian Genocide remains controversial but relatively unknown, overshadowed by later slaughters and the chasm separating Turkish and Armenian versions of events. In this definitive narrative history, Ronald Suny cuts through nationalist myths, propaganda, and denial to provide an unmatched account of when, how, and why the atrocities of 1915–1916 were committed.

At a time of political and economic crisis some European political forces have become particularly receptive to Russia's new conservative, increasingly nationalist message. PCI Director Peter Kreko will discuss the changing perception of Russia on the political fringes of European politics and the new challenges it poses for Euro-Atlantic integration at both the national and the EU level.

National League Game Summary - New York at Pittsburgh
(Sunday, June 29)
Final Score: Pittsburgh 5, New York 2
Pittsburgh, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Pedro Alvarez belted a two-run homer and Edinson Volquez struck out seven, leading the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 5-2 win over the New York Mets on Sunday in the finale of a four-game series.
Alvarez finished with three RBI for the Pirates, who won three of four in the series to improve to 7-2 in their last nine games.
Volquez (6-6) gave up eight hits and a walk in six scoreless innings.
Bartolo Colon (8-6) had an eight-start unbeaten streak snapped after allowing five runs on seven hits and a walk in six innings.
"I don't think he had his A game," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said of the 41-year-old right-hander. "He can still compete without it. The difference is when he left balls over the plate we put good swings on them."
The Mets, losers in four of their last five, out-hit the Pirates 13-8 but went 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position over the first eight innings.
"We left a lot of guys at third base," said Mets manager Terry Collins. "It was just one of those games. We didn't get the runs in."
That was, until the Mets scored twice and brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth after being shut out by Justin Wilson and Tony Watson in the seventh and eighth.
Juan Lagares hit a leadoff single off Jared Hughes, went to third on Travis d'Arnaud's double and scored on Chris Young's groundout.
Ruben Tejada added a two-out RBI bloop single to chase Hughes from the game. Mark Melancon came in and gave up a single to Daniel Murphy, his third hit of the game, but retired Curtis Granderson on a fly ball to end the game and earn his 15th save.
The Pirates sent seven players to the plate against Colon in the first inning and took a 3-0 lead on Ike Davis' sliced two-run single to left field and Alvarez's RBI double into the right-field corner.
Josh Harrison led off the fourth inning with a double and Alvarez followed by teeing off on an 88 mph fastball, knocking it into the right-field seats for his 13th homer of the season and a 5-0 Pittsburgh lead.
Game Notes
Colon had been 6-0 with a 1.58 ERA in his previous seven starts. His last loss before Sunday came May 6 at Miami ... The Pirates went 4-3 against the Mets this season ... The Mets start a three-game series in Atlanta on Monday ... The Pirates will host Arizona in a three-game series beginning Tuesday.

Pizarro and the Incas
Which was more important in helping
the Spanish conquistadors defeat the Incas: Spanish
weapons, the Inca civil war, or the smallpox epidemic?
The technology of Spanish crossbows
and horses against Inca spear-throwers and cotton armor,
the five-year civil war in the Inca Empire, and the
devastating effects of the smallpox epidemic all played
a part in the Spanish Conquest of the Incas.
Author: Brad
Date: 11-17-00 17:57
You've got to wonder...if smallpox hadn't killed Emperor
Huayna Capac, would there have been a civil war between his
sons? Would Peru have been so vulnerable to the handful of
Spanish invaders? Food for thought.
