Edna Goldberg, who was the mainstay of The Baltimore Sun's Harford County bureau for nearly two decades, died Wednesday of cardiac arrest at Courtland Gardens Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Northwest Baltimore. The Bel Air resident was 91.
"Edna had no journalism experience and was the best natural reporter I've ever known. She was very aggressive, and I mean that in the best sense of the word," said James S. Keat, a retired Sun assistant managing editor.
"They weren't used to having someone like Edna in Harford County who didn't like being shut out of things," recalled Mr. Keat. "One time she followed a county official who had been avoiding her into the men's room. Nothing stood between Edna and a story."
"She was a real professional and knew how to dig up news in the area that she was covering," said John H. Plunkett, another retired Sun assistant managing editor. "Edna was a very conscientious reporter, and anyone who came in contact with her in Harford County had nothing but respect for her. She knew her beat and knew how to deal with people."
The daughter of Eastern European immigrants, Edna Green was born in the Bronx, N.Y., and was raised in Brooklyn, where she graduated from high school at 15.
Even though her parents, who owned a candy store, were uneducated, they placed a high emphasis on schooling.
"My mother completed 12 years of grades — one to 12 — in 10 years, so she graduated at 15," said a son, Mark Goldberg of Crystal Lake, Ill.
Mr. Goldberg said his mother often studied late into the night. "She kept this pattern of long hours of work when she went to work for The Sun," her son said.
After graduating from Brooklyn College in 1941 with a bachelor's degree in political science, she worked during World War II as a secretary in New York City and, after the war, for the Blackstone Advertising Agency.
In 1952, she married Solomon S. Goldberg, a lawyer. They moved to Bel Air in 1953 after her husband was named contract attorney adviser at the Army's Chemical Center at the former Edgewood Arsenal.
While raising her two sons, Mrs. Goldberg thought she might like to teach school, but after briefly attending college to gain a teaching certificate, abandoned that notion and immersed herself in public affairs in Harford County.
She was serving as president of the Harford County League of Women Voters when The Baltimore Sun hired her in 1969 to cover the county for the newspaper.
"At that time, the way we covered the counties was not too good, so we turned to Edna, who knew Harford County and its government," said Mr. Keat. "She was the kind of person who broached no nonsense from anyone, including her editors."
Mrs. Goldberg wrote extensively about the switch in 1972 from the county commissioner form of government to charter home rule, with Charles B. Anderson Jr. serving as Harford County's first county executive from 1974 to 1978.
"She was a great character, and I remember when Edna chased Charlie Anderson into the men's room," Habern W. Freeman, who served as county executive from 1982 to 1990, said with a laugh. "She was an incredible investigative reporter and often had my budget before I did."
Mr. Freeman said he had nothing but the "highest, highest respect" for Mrs. Goldberg. "She was the typical newspaper reporter who kept government honest. You didn't get away with anything with Edna," he said.
Mrs. Goldberg was fiercely competitive with her Evening Sun counterparts, who shared the office, and did not like being beaten on a story. Evening Sun staffers recalled Mrs. Goldberg calling her husband each afternoon and discussing her stories in Yiddish so she wouldn't tip off other reporters.
Lee Baylin, a former Evening Sun reporter who is now a Towson attorney, recalled interviewing the county's new public works director.
"He was giving me his recipe for fettuccine Alfredo when I saw Edna outside. I went over and closed the windowed door to his office and continued to write in my notebook," recalled Mr. Baylin. "Later, she demanded to know what he told me, and I only smiled and told the truth: 'It was a recipe.' She fumed for a week."
"Oh, my God, she was a pistol. She was a force to be reckoned with if you were not on the up and up," said Todd Holden, a former Aegis reporter. "When she came on the scene with the mighty Sunpapers, she wasn't the most cordial of reporters, but she made up for it with good writing which was thorough and fair."

TUBERCULOSIS is spreading rapidly in Africa alongside HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Two-thirds of tuberculosis patients tested in Uganda and Zambia have antibodies to the AIDS virus, researchers reported at the World Conference on Lung Health held last week in Boston.
The highly infectious tuberculosis bacillus can remain dormant in the body for years. It appears to become active when infection with HIV damages a person's immunity.
Last year, the World Health Organization* warned of serious health problems posed by the interaction between tuberculosis and AIDS, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where dormant TB is common. Researchers are only now learning the extent of the problem. Although drugs can control tuberculosis in most people infected with HIV, the medicine is seldom available in developing nations.
Few data are available, but the figures that are known are grim. Of the 17 million residents of Uganda, six per cent are infected with ...

|Project Management - a Short Course
|Table of Contents
What is a project
|What is a project?
To start with, it is helpful to try to define exactly what a project is – what makes it different from other activities such as running a repair service or maintaining the shop floor - and the distinguishing attributes of a project.
A strategic project is focused on expanding or changing your organization's objectives, capabilities, or direction in order to achieve a higher level of success. (e.g., build a new facility; reengineer a business process or workflow.)
A tactical project is designed to produce a specific deliverable (e.g., develop a new sales brochure; choose a replacement for an aging computer).
|What is a project lifecycle?
All projects can be described using a four-phase lifecycle.
In the first phase, a need is identified by the client, customer or other stakeholder. This results in a process to describe and define the needs and requirements, sometimes soliciting information or proposals from vendors, contractors or consultants. We can call this phase Initiation.
The second phase is characterized by the development of proposed solutions. This can be by a structured bid form which requests specific items of information related to project costs, staffing, timescales, description of the activities, compliance to technical standards and key deliverables.
The third phase is when the project is actually executed covering detailed planning and Implementation.
The final phase is terminating the project or Closure. In some cases this is marked with formal acceptance by the customer or client with signed documentation.
|Why should I learn about project management?
You cannot allow your organization to stay static and simply concentrate on doing the routine day to day work. Delivering most products and services has become very competitive driven by the economy and technological advances. To survive and thrive, you are going to have to compete by satisfying your "customers" better than your competition does.
One of the best ways of achieving that is to deliver traditional services better and new services quicker. Sometimes the way to do either of these will require adaptation and improvement of your business processes or information systems.
Sometimes a radical change in the way services are delivered affect many different workers, clients and possibly even vendors. Changing your operations, its structure, its information system are all examples of efforts that will justify a disciplined approach to planning and implementing change. And you and your staff will be undertaking many such projects if you want to be among the survivors. Project management provides such a disciplined approach.
Why use a disciplined approach to managing projects? Projects don't get done on time and within budget just by chance. Careful management is vital in any but the simplest project. Project failure may have some important short-term and long-term results. In the short term deadlines are missed, expected benefits aren't obtained, talent is wasted, customers get unhappy, costs go up, and your credibility as a leader goes down. In the long term your organization's ability to compete may be greatly impaired, your market position may drop, you may lose business and profitability, your organization may get overlooked when new opportunities arise, and staff morale and effectiveness may erode.
|Why do projects commonly fail? What can I do about it?
Projects can and do fail for many reasons that are predictable and avoidable. Projects failures fall into three broad categories: Project process-related factors, Project-related factors, and Uncontrollable factors.
Some common project process-related factors include:
Any project which transcends the historically stove-piped boundaries between departments is especially challenging and can test the mettle of even the most skilled administrator or manager.
Some common project-related factors that lead to projects going awry include:
Finally, there are factors that can't be controlled such as:
Attention to project management can help your project avoid many of the process and project-related problems. It can also help you adapt to and cope with those uncontrollable challenges and provide you at least a fighting chance to achieve success.
|What are the primary components of a project?
The primary components of most projects include:
|What are the main processes or steps used in project management?
The main processes of a project include the following:
|What should I know about the project planning process?
In order to achieve the objectives of any project it is essential to look at the details of the work required, which includes identifying specific tasks and estimating time to complete them, estimating associated costs, identifying who will perform the tasks and highlighting areas of risk together with devising appropriate contingency plans.
It is part of the responsibility of the project manager to create the project plan and to update it on a regular and frequent basis. This is an important point project plans are not made in tablets of stone! They are dynamic and must reflect the current situation. In most projects there are a number of "unexpected" challenges or events which may affect the timescales, costs and outcomes of the project. With good planning these unexpected events can be dealt with effectively and will not cause insoluble difficulties to the project team.
There are four planning concepts that you should be familiar with. The relevant questions are:
|What is the role and what are the components of a project description?
Planning begins during the pre-launch stage of a project and continues for the life of the project. The pre-launch stage of a project spans from conception to project approval. Essential for project approval usually is a project description which includes the following:
|How does one develop a comprehensive plan?
It is useful to begin the process by identifying all the tasks and elements of the project. The creation of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a systematic approach to scoping the project work in which a logical, hierarchical pattern is devised which may resemble an organizational chart. Each branch contains work items which are further broken down into work packages.
The level to which tasks are identified will depend on the size and nature of the project, the level at which a single individual or team can be assigned responsibility and the level at which costs are allocated. Not all branches of the WBS have to be broken down to the same level.
These steps are not necessarily done sequentially but are usually done iteratively. Typically two or more cycles of planning may be needed before a comprehensive plan emerges.
In summary, the work breakdown structure:
|What are some of the other elements of a comprehensive project plan?
Other elements depend on the nature, size, and complexity of the project. We won't even attempt to cover all the possibilities here. But, among them are:
Finally, developing and maintaining a project notebook can pay off in terms of helping you and your team learn from each project. Such a notebook depicts a standard framework for the project, serves as a repository for essential documents and working papers, and provides continuity over the project's life.
|What characterizes a sound project plan?
|How should I do project estimating?
Estimating is an important process in project management. The purpose of the estimation process is to get an approximation of the cost, personnel requirements, time frame and value of a project. It begins with a comprehensive project plan.
What are the key obstacles to realistic estimating? There are actually quite a few and among them are the following:
Sources of time delays that are commonly overlooked include:
|How is project scheduling done?
Scheduling is the process of assigning specific resources to tasks in relation to a specific calendar time. Key steps include:
A visual representation of this process is helpful and a Gantt Chart or bar chart is a valuable aid to planning and achieving this aim. Project milestones, time points that indicate completion of key phases, and deliverables, defined and tangible outcomes of the project, can also be marked.
|How should I go about reviewing progress?
Reviewing progress is another important process in project management. Of fundamental importance is knowing where you are in relation to your starting point.
A progress report that simply states what was accomplished and by whom is not of much value. Knowing where you are relative to where you want to be is a tougher question to answer, but an essential one. Frequent progress reviews and disciplined accountability for results are critical to the success of any project. Project reviews are meaningful only if they are based on sound plans against which progress can be assessed.
In progress review meetings it is best to focus on what remains to be done between now and the next deliverable date. Here are some progress review principles:
|Develop a PM methodology.
The purpose of using a common methodology for all projects is to provide a consistent vehicle for communication, management and reporting of project work. The principles and procedures introduced within your Project Management Methodology will help eliminate or reduce risk, ensure interaction and integration of various project efforts, improve quality and ensure customer satisfaction and business results.
Obtain the knowledge or expertise relevant to completing a project successfully. Outside consultants may be one way of acquiring this expertise quickly, especially for complex projects.
You and your team will be involved in many projects. If the experience from these various projects can be gathered and pooled in some way, this experience can be extended to subsequent project teams which can materially improve the productivity of the project team.
As mentioned before, developing and maintaining a project notebook can pay off in terms of helping you and your team learn from each project. Such a notebook depicts a standard framework for the project, serves as a repository for essential documents and working papers, and provides continuity over the current project's life and reference for future projects.

text: MISCELLANEOUS I Not all of the best letters to the Times in the 1880s dealt with major issues or drew forth responses from other readers. Scattered throughout the decade were isolated gems that displayed the writer's humor or cleverness or commented on concerns that were not significant enough to arouse a general public outcry. One such submission came in the form of a poem about Frank Ey, an Anaheim resident whose name appeared for a time on the editorial page as the Times' representative in that area. Those with the same surname rhyme it with "fry." Since Editor Otis and his wife Eliza had joined the paper's staff a few days before they published the poem and they were unlikely to have known the Anaheim agent, and since Eliza frequently contributed poetry to the paper, both the reply and the original inquiry may have been written by Mrs. Otis. {Times, Aug. 5, 1882, p. 4} A Poetical Eytem. To the Editor of The Times: You have an agent 'mongst the lime and lemon groves of Anaheim. Now humbly ask I, if I may, Pronounceth he, his surname Ey? Perchance those spelling would imply That he pronounceth himself Ey. Or, haply, it may neither be, But calleth himself simply Ey. Whatever's right, ye must perceive, To ease these doubts will much relieve. Tecolote. Los Angeles, Aug. 4, 1882. - - - ABLE REPLY TO THE ABOVE. Now, why should you weary the heavenly muse, And dam for a moment the channels of news, To ask without reason, and only in rhymes, The name of an agent unknown to the Times? Suppose we should tell you: to find out the key To the proper pronouncing of such name as Ey, Go search for the person, and thus to him say, "Is your name rightly Ey, or better as Ey?" Or again, should we warn you, in mannerly way, That the Times has no time to devote to your Ey. You might hence in all haste to that agent's friends fly, And ask as an item the history of Ey. 'Tis discretion's best part in this instance, think we, To know well our own names and let other names be. In the 'eighties Santa Monica was the ocean resort for Los Angeles. Rail passenger traffic to the beach opened in 1875 and until other seaside communities developed during the boom of the 1880s Santa Monica enjoyed a near monopoly on shoreline recreation. While the visitors were welcome, at least one resident was concerned that inconsiderate bathers violated accepted standards of decency. While no law was apparently passed at that time, forty years later similar concerns would result in enactment of a Long Beach city ordinance strictly regulating the size and shape of bathing suits that could be worn in public. {Times, Aug. 5, 1882, p. 4} Concerning Bathers in Scant Garments. To the Editor of The Times: Will you permit me in the name of our mothers, wives and sisters, to protest against the very unbecoming, not to say indecent garb in which some of our bathers appear day after day? We have laws against men and women appearing in our streets and at our public gatherings in immodest apparel, and why should not the same laws apply to our public watering places and theaters? If the parties who daily make a parade here of their supposed physical attractions and charms would make so shameless an exhibition of themselves upon your streets, they no doubt would be arrested and fined. The moral status of those who come here and leave their modesty at home is very fairly illustrated by the anecdote of the little girl who closed her evening prayer with, "Good bye, Lord; I'm going to Boston in the morning and won't be back for three weeks." And so some people think that because they are going to a fashionable watering place they will have no need of modesty. Again, there is now and then one who takes especial pains to "show off". We witnessed an exhibition of this kind yesterday. A being in the form of a man dressed himself in a suit seemingly two or three sizes too small for his bulky body, and then stepped out of the bathroom right into the midst of a score of ladies and children, and stood there at least ten minutes, looking around him every few minutes to see how much the fair sex were admiring him. Could he but have heard the expressions of universal disgust from their lips, and could he have interpreted the almost irresistible upward movement of the right foot of some of them, he perhaps would have postponed his bath. But no, I'm mistaken. Such characters are strangers to modesty and even glory in their shame. These comments may seem severe. Well, that is what I intend them to be, for it is no use to waste time in moralizing with such people. Congress would confer a very great blessing on society, the home and family, if it would make an appropriation of $3,000,000 to purchase one of the South Sea Islands for bathing purposes, solely for this class, and furnish them free transportation there and back annually. There they might enjoy, in their seclusion, each others' society and enchanting charms without having blushes to mantle their cheeks because of the gaze of the impolite bystanders. Poor, persecuted souls! How much they suffer from a cold, heartless, unsympathising, falsely-educated public! Nothing in dress nor conduct should be found at our public places of resort that would not be proper in the family circle and home society. No doubt some will accuse the writer of "mock modesty." Well, so be it. Even so-called "mock modesty" is certainly to be preferred to the absence of all modesty. While the conduct of such people is open to the severest criticism, and most deservedly so, we challange all of them to produce a single argument in justification of their semi- nude condition. M. V. W. Santa Monica, Cal., Aug. 3, 1882. Harris Newmark described the fire alarm system that Los Angeles utilized upon his arrival in 1853. Instead of fire-bells announcing to the people that a conflagration was in progress, the discharging of pistols in rapid succession gave the alarm and was the signal for a general fusillade throughout the neighboring streets. Indeed, this method of sounding a fire-alarm was used as late as the eighties. By 1882 "H" thought the time had come to change that system, but it was 1886 before the old method gave way to a modern one. {Times, Oct. 14, 1882, p. 4} CAN'T IT BE STOPPED? The Regulation Alarm--Something Better Needed. To the Editor: Is it not possible to stop the indiscriminate sounding of a fire alarm similar to that of last night? It does seem as though there ought to be a fire alarm system in a city of the size of Los Angeles; but we must not expect too much all at once. Last evening the foundry of the Messrs. O'Donnell & Sutliff, on Aliso street, was delayed in taking off a heat, and at about seven o'clock the light reflected very brightly from the furnace cupola. Some individual standing in plain sight of the furnace, after it had been flaming up for full fifteen minutes, commenced giving the Los Angeles regulation alarm, by firing a revolver. That was enough; every revolver within hearing distance was immediately brought out and a fusilade commenced, and in the usual time the whole fire department was called out and went tearing down the street to squelch the great conflagration. In vain a gentleman ran up to one of the hose companies and yelled to the leaders that it was only a cupola blast; as well attempt to dam Niagara with straws--they were bound to quell that conflagration. This little episode will cost the city $25 for calling out the fire department. Can't something be done to prevent this kind of a lunatic from unnecessarily causing such excitement and the attendant expense? H. While alcohol drew a large number of letters from readers advocating temperance or prohibition, only a handful of critics bothered to condemn tobacco. G. A. Millard raised the issue of patches, a century early, as a method to stop smoking although the patches he cited differed considerably from the ones that would become popular later. As noted by "R. T.," educators, too, denounced tobacco, although its continued use would became a prime source of revenue for the public schools through the cigarette tax. "C. H. S." pioneered the attack on what would become known as "second hand smoke." {Times, Aug. 7, 1883, p. 3} Can We Not Save the Boys? To the Editor of the Times--Sir: This seems to me to be an important question and there seems to be but little thought given the subject, at least in regard to devising a remedy for this growing evil. There is need of a measure to protect our boys. The great evil of the use of tobacco, especially cigarette smoking, is asuming enormous proportions, particularly on this coast. It is dragging our rising generation down, creating a race poisoned by the use of this vile stuff. Our army of cigarette smokers is largely made up of young boys. And when we stop and think of the tender age at which they begin, it is fearful to think of. Little boys seven and eight years of age, just at the time they are most susceptible of forming habits and most susceptible to the evil effects of the tobacco. The younger one is at the time of beginning the longer he has to follow it, if he lives, and the longer one follows the habit the more completely is he under its power, and the more completely is his nervous system affected by it. Now, considering the age of the majority of beginners, and that they are not as likely to form the habit after reaching manhood, this gives us a point to begin on. Where is the father, although using tobacco himself, who wishes his son to form the same habit? I think he would be hard to find. Fathers have the right to say, "Sir, you shall not furnish my son with this poison, I forbid it." And they can successfully forbid it. If they will unite they have the power to make it unlawful for anyone to furnish the boys with tobacco. This vice is closely allied to strong drink, and while the temperance question is being agitated why not make a move in this direction for the benefit of our sons and brothers? But before leaving this question let us look at another connected with it. The announcement is made that there is a hundred cases on this coast of leprous patches on mouth and lips, believed to have been started by smoking cigarettes made by Chinese. This is one of the best mediums for scattering this loathsome disease. Can we do nothing to check it? The first reason given is enough cause for us to prohibit the furnishing tobacco to minors, but this last reason is one that should attract the attention of every one. All who are interested in the young, the coming men, our little boys, should wield their influence to stop this curse. Shall this fair land be allowed to become a leprous hotbed? It will be if we allow it to go on at the present rate. Our boys are thoughtless and do not realize their danger. After they are older they will be able to form better opinions, will not be as likely to fall into the habit of cigarette smoking. Let us protect them in their youth and they will bless us in our old age. Is there any one besides myself interested in this subject? G. A. MILLARD, Pomona, Cal. {Times, April 14, 1886, p. 2} The Teachers' Resolutions Against the Use of Tobacco. To the Editor of the Times--Sir: I was greatly pleased to read in the Times a resolution adopted by the teachers at their recent institute, which reads as follows: Resolved, That the teachers should use all means at their command to prevent the use of profanity, tobacco, and alcoholic beverages. It is hoped that the teachers will do something more against these vices than merely pass a resolution. There is, perhaps, no other vice so prevalent among the boys of our public schools as that of cigarette smoking, and no other so disastrous in its effects on the youthful mind and body. I have no doubt that every observant teacher can point out boys in the schools whose moral and physical natures have been poisoned and whose mental faculties have been benumbed by long-continued use of tobacco in the form of cigars and cigarettes. From the very beginning of her crusade against this evil the conscientious teacher will have to combat the influence of example over precept. The father smokes and the son will follow his example. How discouraging to such a teacher, after she has labored to impress upon her pupils the evil effects of tobacco, to be told by some forward boy, "Why, our County Superintendent smokes cigars; Principal A chews tobacco; Principal B drinks whisky"; and as vice is more alluring than virtue, and example is more potent than precept, the urchin continues to imitate the vicious example of these educational worthies. I believe that the teachers should have gone a step further in their resolution, and in view of the terrible and widespread ruin that tobacco using is working, among the boys of our land, they should have resolved that every teacher, superintendent, principal or what not who promenades our streets with a cigar or pipe in his mouth, poisoning our boys by his example, should have his certificate revoked for immoral conduct. A few applications of such a disinfectant would purify the pedagogical atmosphere of tobacco smoke at least. I hope to live to see the day when the control and management of our schools shall pass into the hands of women. Then, and not till then, can we hope to see a vigorous crusade against the trinity of vices named in the resolution. R. T. {Times, Sept. 8, 1888, p. 2} Personal vs Property Rights. Los Angeles, Sept. 5.--[To the Editor of The Times.] In view of the generally-acknowledged fact that the fire at the Masonic Temple Monday morning was the result of the carelessness of some smoker, is it not about time for the adoption by the Legislature of a law prohibiting a man from smoking anywhere except in his own house? Hundreds of other mysterious fires have been traced to a similar origin. Have property-owners no rights that the smoker is bound to observe? If not, then some such rights ought to be established, to say nothing about the personal right that a man should have of going about the streets or into public halls or buildings without being compelled to breathe the smoke from other mouths, which, times without number, is very disagreeable. The tobacco habit is the most selfish one in existence today, and is not only destroying valuable property by the natural carelessness of its users, but is poisoning the free air of heaven, compelling men and women to inhale the unhealthy fumes whether they will or no, and entailing weakness and disease upon the rising generation. In view of these undisputed facts would it not be a good idea for the daily press to attack the filthy habit, and urge legislation to restrict as above suggested. C. H. S. In a 1941 Times article dealing with the sixtieth anniversary of the paper's founding, Glendale resident John C. Sherer was listed as one of the handful of Times subscribers still living who had been readers of the paper at its birth. Not only had Sherer read the Times in the 'eighties but he had also been a Times reporter in 1887. Furthermore, he was a significant contributor of letters to the editor during that early decade. In the summer of 1885 he offered this delightful response to an Otis editorial that had suggested the use of occupational titles that clearly indicated the gender of an individual: Doctor or Dr. meant a male physician; Doctrix or Dx. stood for a "lady physician." These were designations Sherer was unwilling to use. {Times, July 11, 1885, p. 3} Concerning Doctrix Mary Smith. To the Editor of the Times--Sir: In reply to your editorial article in Thursday's issue, regarding the "Shortcomings of the English Language," in respect to titles, permit me to express an opinion in which I hope you will eventually agree. With its many defects in the shape of incongruities which we hope some time to get rid of, {illegible} English is a very good language, which can scarcely be improved by the addition of new words, but should, when changed at all, be made more simple and stronger by lopping off such superfluities as have gradually crept into it. This certainly will not be done by borrowing any of the cumbrous and ridiculous tautological forms which are the peculiar feature of English law. In the fond hope that English will be the universal language of the future (as we have good reasons for believing it will) we should be very careful to add to it no unnecessary words or phrases, but to simplify it as much as possible, so that its use may be the more readily acquired by the foreigner. When a woman has been appointed by the court the executor of an estate does the law describe her any more fully or explicitly by alluding to her as the "Executrix Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Smith," than if it should refer to her as "the Executor Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Smith?" I think not. Neither would you convey to the public any additional information in alluding to the lady as "Doctrix Mary Smith," more than by referring to her as "Dr. Mary Smith." As long as women are given certain recognized "Christian" feminine names, and men have bestowed upon them masculine cognomens, there is no necessity for making feminine and masculine distinctions in their titles. The highest authorities and the usages of the best society have decreed, quite wisely, that a woman is a poet if she writes poetry, and not a poetess; that she is a painter if she follows that particular branch of art, and not a paintress, and any attempt to make such titles, or names of professions, vary so as to designate the gender is liable to be rejected by English-speaking people as over-nice and unnecessary. J. C. SHERER. [Here is a deep, diabolical and insidious effort to overthrow, in its very incipiency, the able reform which the Times was about to institute in the manipulation of the mother tongue as applied to pill peddlers of the off gender. We are so completely set back, broke up, and done for by the check administered with such cold-blooded previousness by our esteemed correspondent, that we have no heart to go on with the great work of reform begun yesterday with hopes so high, and ambition so agile. We venture, however, to fire one pertinent conundrum at the daring head of our iconoclastic correspondent. What are you going to do when it is not desirable to write the Christian name of the fair medica, or when initials only are used? How will you designate sex when, for instance, the name is written "Dr. M. Smith," instead of "Dr. Mary Smith?" Or, take another case: How distinguish sex in a list of physicians comprising both sexes, when the initials are not used? It can't be done! Go to! We intend to stand by our philological child, the new-born Doctrix, and, if need be, see it die on the threshold of "Doctrix Mary Smith."] In early 1886 a touring theatrical company sought to increase its attendance by offering to Los Angeles school children a monetary prize for the solution to a word puzzle, to be awarded during the final matinee performance at the Grand Opera House. The winner would be the student who composed "the largest number of English words out of the letters spelling FANTASMA," which happened to be the name of the performance. Answers were to be delivered to George McLain and Martin Lehman, operators of the Opera House. The contest had been badly thought out and the judges were forced to set up rules after the entries had been turned in. George A. Dobinson, a Shakespearean scholar and schoolmaster, chaired the committee of judges who determined that the ten dollar prize should be divided equally between a boy and girl who had each submitted solutions with 27 words and who just happened to attend private schools. Mary Graham and Wyndham Brain, public school students, challenged the judges' decision in letters that were especially well written for such young students and that, in the case of Graham, reflected the anti-immigrant feeling that became more pronounced toward the end of the 19th century. {Times, Mar. 27, 1886, p. 2} The Word Contest. LETTER FROM A LITTLE GIRL. To the Editor of the Times--Sir: You are kind to all. Will you favor a little girl, and publish this? I exerted myself to find all the words possible in the one word "Fantasma," and I sent to the committee the result of my labors. I had all the words in the list published--and which got the prize--and three more, which I think are legitimate, as follows: Snat, the snuff of a candle; sanat, an Indian calico, and asta, a rock or cliff. I do not care for the money value of the prize, but I do care for the reputation of the public schools, of which I am a member and pupil. I do not like to be beaten by a girl who is but six months from Europe, and who cannot speak English. The committee did not see my words, or I would have got the prize. A LITTLE GIRL. (Mary Graham.) [In reference to the foregoing communication which was referred to the committee, that body through Mr. Dobinson, reply that all the solutions of the "Fantasma" puzzle were handed to them by McLain & Lehman, sealed up as received. No solutions came direct to the committee. The committee saw no paper from Mary Graham, and even if, as she says, her solution contained all the words in the list as published, she would not have won the prize, as there was a printer's error in the newspaper list, the word "naft" being printed "Maft," and Mary's other three words were disallowed in all the lists in which they occurred. No rules had been issued for the contest, and the committee had, in making their award, to frame such rules as would admit the smallest girls on some kind of equality with the rest of the children. Yes, it is a fact that limiting the contest to the main body of Webster's dictionary, only twenty-seven words won the prize, and those twenty-seven words were found in but two lists of the large number sent in. If, says Mr. Dobinson, the reputation of the public schools depends upon the result of a contest of this kind, the pupils must wake up and do better next time.] {Times, April 1, 1886, p. 2} Letter from a Little Boy. To the Editor of the Times--Sir: I see you have been kind enough to print in your paper a letter from a little school girl about the "Fantasma" prize, and I am encouraged to think you will allow me, too, to say that I think the prize was not given according to merit. I was also one who made a good searching for the greatest number of words to be made out of the letters, and I found thirty-eight, which I delivered at the Grand Opera House as directed. Now, as the prize has been divided between two giving only twenty-seven words each, was it not unfair? And I would like to know why twenty seven words were considered to be more deserving than thirty-eight. Your love of fair play, I think, will make you find a place in your paper for my letter, for which I will give you many thanks; and, apologizing for troubling you, I am yours, respectfully, WYNDHAM B. BRAIN, A 12 year-old school boy at Chavez Street School. Los Angeles, March 28. Perceived injustices took on all forms, from a relatively minor squabble over a word contest to the more serious charge of extortion for access to a public road. Mary Graham thought she had a better right to the prize than a girl only six months from Europe and unable to speak English. "M. J.," on the other hand, believed that new citizens unable to read English ought to be protected from the "hawks and vultures" who preyed upon them. {Times, Aug. 7, 1886, p. 2} A Hard Case. To the Editor of the Times--Sir: I want to state a case--a recent fact--and ask a few questions, in the interest of truth and justice: In this county, seven years ago, a man (a citizen, though he cannot read the English language) bought a few acres of land for a home, near an irrigating ditch, but not on the highway. The seller contracted with him for the right of way to the public road, and the buyer enjoyed and used that way for over six years. He understood that it was deeded with his home; but, as he did not think his American neighbor would be guilty of either wrong or negligence, he did not carry his deed to anyone to have it read to him, for a special lookout against harm. Lately the seller has died; the widow put the property in the hands of a lawyer to settle and sell, and since the sale, this buyer--the owner of his own vines and orange trees, and nice little home, the creation of his own industry--finds himself shut in by the new neighbor--right of way to a public road utterly denied; and he, with his wife and little girls, are compelled to be torn from the home they love, to give up to this rich extortionist, who has bought up all around him, at such nominal price as said person chooses to offer, or pay an enormous price, clear beyond his means for the "right of way" that he supposed secured by his deed--that he had bought once honorably, and used for years! And a lawyer tells him he has no redress! Question: Are laws designed for the protection of those who need protection, or are they framed in the interest of hawks and vultures? Are there not men who can devise "ways and means" to send somebody to the Legislature who will bring forward measures to secure simple, natural rights in such cases as the above? We have many citizens--and more are coming--who do not read our language, even when they speak it, and must they be exposed to such wrongs? Must we set ourselves before the world as a people who, under color of law, "devour" whomsoever may accidentally fall within reach of our talons? I am only a neighbor to the person being devoured in this case, but my soul is stirred by the wretched laws that cover such wrongs, and compel the wife and little girls to lose their home. Oh, Solon, let thy shadow fall upon us! M. J. Complaints about postal service were not frequently aired in the letters column although residents were disturbed when the post office was moved to a location several blocks south of what was then the center of town. That complacency changed when the boom of 1887 brought to the city such a large number of new arrivals that the ability of the system to meet customers' demands was badly strained. {Times, Jan. 22, 1887, p. 3} A FRAUD UPON THE PEOPLE. Los Angeles, Jan. 21.--[To the Editor of The Times.] The condition of the postoffice in the city of Los Angeles is an outrage upon the citizens of all parts of the country, and a disgrace to the powers that be in Washington, who persist in allowing such a state of things to continue! Can language make it stronger? If so, supply and I will gladly use it. All day long, and every day, three long strings of people stand before the windows of the general delivery waiting to hear from friends, and often on important business matters. Each person must wait from twenty minutes to an hour before receiving his letters and papers, and then perhaps after waiting so long and getting within two or three places of the window have it closed in his face, and he must come back again to try the whole thing over. There is no sense in it; no reason for it; these waiting people are citizens of the United States, they pay taxes enough, God knows, to have a sufficient number of officials to serve them decently. They come from all parts of the country and neither Postmaster- General Vilas nor President Grover Cleveland will receive any credit for the parsimony exhibited here. Postmaster Green and his assistants do all in their power, but even they cannot compass impossibilities. People come here, not knowing where they may be able to domicile themselves, and when they do succeed in obtaining an abiding place it is weeks before the officials can possibly fix and follow the thousands of changes being made all the time. If our respected President could only be shipped out here and be compelled to stand on his rheumatic legs at one of those windows for one single time, we would have the two or three additional clerks needed quicker than one could say "Jack Robinson." And the best prayer that pious and impious people can offer for Mr. Vilas is that he may come to his ordinary horse sense, or "go dead" very, very quickly; so that in the former case he will give the citizens their rights, or in the latter case that some better man than he is will have some respect for his fellow-men. INDIGNANT AND UNHAPPY CITIZEN. There were other complaints. The newly enacted Interstate Commerce Act brought a cry of protest from one writer while another criticized the treatment of state and county taxpayers, for which the Times blamed the lack of proper management in the tax collector's office. {Times, April 14, 1887, p. 6} Ruined by the Interstate Commerce Law. Los Angeles, April 11.--[To the Editor of The Times.] I have a grievance which I wish to ventilate in The Times. I am a horny-handed son of toil, earning my bread by the sweat of my face. I came to this land of flowers, sunshine and climate some months ago, and my enthusiasm and delight over the situation has been continually on the increase, and I "whooped it up" so energetically that some of my friends seriously contemplated hooping me up, lest there might be an explosion. But I have met with a serious setback. My hopes are dashed, and I fear I shall have to return to the land of cyclones, blizzards, snow, ice, 40 degrees below zero and things! All on account of the Interstate Commerce Law. I was in San Pedro Saturday. I entered a saloon to imbibe a glass of beer. To my utter amazement I was requested to pocket the nickel which I rather ostentatiously slapped upon the counter. A dime was demanded. Crestfallen, I demanded the reason of this exorbitant charge. The gentlemanly usher in charge of the spigot informed me that the extra swindle for the refreshing fluid was necessitated by the rapacity of those giant monopolies, the trunk-line railroads, incited thereto by the onerous provisions of the long and short haul clauses of the Interstate Commerce Law. "Beer had riz!" Sadly I wended my way from his inhospitable door, and hied me to a cigar store, to invest in a five-cent cigar to soothe my agitated nerves. Again I was destined to receive a shock. There were no longer any "stinkers!" "Everything is 10 cents," said the polite vender of the weed, and he repeated almost word for word the explanation of the beer-jerker aforesaid: "Cigars had riz," because of the provisions of the iniquitous law of Congress--the I. C. L. To this complexion has it come at last! A prohibitory tariff is levied upon the poor man's beer and cigar. The ruinous effect of "Chinese cheap labor" is thrown in the shade, and the very necessities of life dashed from the poor man's lips! If this fiendish law--to wit, the Interstate Commerce Law--has not carried the price of a third-class ticket to New York or Philadelphia to heights utterly beyond my finances, I shall return to the East, where they manufacture beer and cigars, and thus be able to indulge in these staple articles of modern civilization. That is to say, if the Angelenos who dispense them do not "catch on" to this San Pedro infection. Is there any way in which we can quarantine, San Francisco fashion, against this destroyer of the poor man's privileges and depleter of his purse? Isn't it possible to vaccinate as a preventive against its spread in this community? Yours for a reply, A TENDERFOOT. {Times, Jan. 4, 1889, p. 6} An Infamous Outrage. Los Angeles, Jan. 2.--[To the Editor of The Times.] Day before yesterday being the last opportunity for paying the State and county taxes without the addition of the 5 per cent. penalty, the writer, in company with hundreds of other unfortunates of all ages, sexes, colors and previous conditions of servitude, danced, or rather stood, attendance at the court of the great mogul who condescends, with the aid of his eunuchs and satraps, to receive our hard-earned shekels and give us a receipt for the same when it pleases them to do so. Having received a paper which entitled him to approach the august presence of the custodian of book 7, he tremblingly did so, and for four weary and patient hours sought in vain for recognition and the privilege of paying over the amount of the penalty inflicted upon him for never infringing the laws, or seeking office, and minding his own business generally. But let us drop the third and speak in the first person singular. At 12 o'clock most of the crowd in front of me, who appeared to be small taxpayers, had secured the coveted receipts, and as I secured a position at the rail, directly in front of the big volume and its custodian, I fondly imagined I could soon have the pleasure of having my "surplus" reduced, and a receipt in my pocket for the same. Vain delusion! About the noon hour most of the deputies appeared to have urgent calls elsewhere; probably to the banquet halls, and a siesta afterward, for there was a great thinning out of the force during about two hours, and when one occasionally flitted about the volume in front of me, and I ventured to wave my little tag and respectfully ask for a receipt, was either met by a cold, insolent, silent stare, or not the slightest notice whatever was taken of the appeal, with one or two somewhat gentlemanly exceptions, who deigned to explain that they could not possibly attend to me then; were themselves "awful tired," etc., which was doubtless true. Ladies and occasionally some apparently favored male friend or acquaintance of the deputies obtained receipts beside and behind me, although I had been waiting more than twice as long, and at last, utterly tired out and exhausted, about 8 o'clock p. m., with no earthly show of recognition, I had to give up my position and retire. While indulging in some indignant remarks regarding my treatment while getting out of the crowd, a young man unknown to me tapped me lightly on the arm to attract my attention and informed me in a low tone that if I would accompany him he would show me the place where upon the payment of $2 my application would be received and receipt made out, but this I indignantly refused to do. It is the first time in my experience of 40 years' taxpaying in Los Angeles and elsewhere that an attempt was ever made to "hold me up." Let the public draw their own inferences. In the meantime I hope that other taxpayers who have been treated in like manner will let the public hear from them. The Tax Collector has given bonds, and taken an obligation to faithfully perform the duties of his office, and the main duty is to receive taxes when tendered and give receipts for the same. If he fails or neglects, through any cause whatever, to do his duty, my belief is that he and his bondsmen are liable for damages and costs, and the 5-per cent. penalty that we may have to pay, and I propose for one to see what we can do about it. I also trust that every voter and taxpayer who has been treated in this manner will make out a list of these tithe-gatherers for future use and reference whenever they have any political aspirations, regardless of party. A MAD TAXPAYER. Many Angelenos correctly foretold the future, as noted in earlier chapters. "Old Settler" saw the city reaching out to distant mountains for its water supply. "Caminos Buenos" pictured a grand boulevard stretching from downtown to the sea. Frederick M. Shaw {later in this volume} envisioned the day when man would fly. But the view of others was badly flawed. Responding to an editorial that welcomed experiments in the expanded use of electric motors and foreshadowed the passing of the horse, Horatio N. Rust could not conceive of a love affair between men and steam locomotives. {Times, Feb. 6, 1887, p. 6} The Horse and the Electric Motor. South Pasadena, Feb. 4.--[To the Editor of The Times.] "Will electric motors oust the horse" is asked in yesterday's issue. I well remember when the Boston and Albany Railroad was built (as my father contracted to do the ironwork for the bridge at Sprinfield, Mass., the first railroad bridge which spanned the Connecticut River). There was great anxiety among the farmers, as the impression was general that the locomotive would displace the horse and a source of revenue would be lost to the farmers. Many locomotives have been built and still we must use the horse more than ever. The same will be true if the electric motor is successful. Man's love for the noble animal will never be lavished upon an iron horse. This brings to mind the report of the projectors of the Boston and Albany Railroad, said report having been made about 1830. The expenses of building and running the road were based upon horse-power, and in closing the report the committee said: "It is possible that the time may come when this road may be operated by locomotives, as we have heard of some very successful experiments in England." That committee lived to laugh on this report and see the locomotive make that road a great success, making a greater demand for horses than the farmer ever dreamed of. H. N. RUST. In Dec., 1881, shortly after the Times began publication, Editor Cole ran the amusing letter about the dog nuisance, printed in the introduction to this volume, that was written in the style of Mark Twain. Near the end of 1889 another Twain-like contribution, this one even carrying a variation of Twain's real surname, told the story of a stranger's Thanksgiving dinner in Los Angeles. {Times, Nov. 30, 1889, p. 5} "It's Home-made, You Know." TENDERFOOT'S TALE OF WOE-- THEY HORNSWOGGLED HIS TURKEY. Los Angeles, Nov. 29.--Temple Street.--[To the Editor of The Times.] I passed through a sad experience yesterday, which I wish to publish in order to warn other unwary strangers of the dangers that lurk in the most harmless appearing placards. Thanksgiving Day dawned as beautiful as a May morning, and I, being a stranger, sallied from my boardinghouse to "view the landscape o'er." Suddenly I beheld what thrilled my heart with joy. There loomed up before me a telegraph pole and tacked thereon was a small placard announcing that for the small sum of 50 cents a certain church would furnish a "Bountiful and Oldfashioned Thanksgiving Dinner." Visions of roast turkey and pumpkin pies came up before my mind's eye, and at the time mentioned on the placard I presented myself before the doors of the place where the dinner was to be served. A gentleman standing in the door demanded 50 cents, which I gave him; and then handed me over to a bevy of ladies who wore red badges with the word "Reception" emblazoned there, on in white letters. They seized upon me and bore me off to a long, lonely table. No other diners were in sight. As soon as I was seated a swarm of ladies from the back of the room came down in a body, and many and unsophisticated were the inquiries as to whether I liked turkey, and "which part" would I take. After a great deal of fuss, I succeeded in obtaining a liberal supply of the above-mentioned fowl, and attempted to taste it, but was prevented by having a plate of bread thrust under my nose, with the words: "It's home-made, you know." I accepted the bread, and again attempted to convey the coveted morsel of turkey to my lips. A hand interposed between my fork and my lips with a plate of rolls. "Now I think the gentleman would prefer some of these home- made rolls to that bread." I declined the rolls, and again thrust my fork into the meat, but waitress No. 3 rushed up with a plate of sauce. "Now do try some of these cranberries. It's all home-cooking, you know. I accepted the sauce, and again essayed to lift my fork to my lips, but "There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip," as I found to my sorrow, for just then a very large lady bore down upon us, and as the little crowd around my chair separated, she cried: "Now I'm sure the gentleman is ready for pie," and she commenced naming the various kinds at hand, ever and anon putting in: "The're all home-made, you know." Just then another unfortunate lured to his doom probably by the same seductive placard that attracted me, was seated by the "Reception" Committee, and the attention of my tormentors was turned for a moment. I hastily gulped that bit of turkey, and seizing my hat, fairly took to my heels. One of the waitresses followed me to the door, and called out: "Do wait and have some pie; it is home-made, you know." Thus I escaped. Now, Saints, deliver us from church Thanksgiving dinners, where waitresses abound and every thing is "home- made, you know." Respectfully, S. C. CLEMONS Formerly of Middlebury, Vt. P. S.--I sign my name and former place of abode, "not as necessary to publication, but as a guarantee of good faith." However, you may publish both.

Three Gwinnett County Public Schools students have received college financial assistance from a corporation, as they were recently named National Corporate-sponsored Merit Scholarship winners by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.The three seniors from Collins Hill High and Norcross High are part of a group of 1,000 students nationwide selected as recipients of the national honor. This year's winners are: · Jerry Fong of Norcross High, National Merit Accenture Scholarship · Adam C. Kellar of Collins Hill High, National Merit Southern Company Scholarship · Rebecca Leo of Norcross High, National Merit McKesson Scholarship These students were selected from a pool of finalists in the 2009 National Merit Scholarship Program who met the criteria of their scholarship sponsors. Corporate organizations generally provide awards for finalists who are children of their employees, residents of communities the company serves, or have plans to pursue majors or careers the grantor wishes to encourage. About 200 companies, foundations, and other business organizations finance these scholarships. Most of the awards are renewable for up to four years of college undergraduate study and provide annual stipends that range from $500 to $10,000 per year. More than 1.5 million students entered the competition last school year as juniors by taking the 2007 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which served as the initial screening for program entrants. As the highest scoring entrants in each state, these academically talented students were then invited to apply for a finalist spot. That level was determined by looking at the student's academic record throughout high school, an endorsement or recommendation by the school principal, and a self-descriptive essay and information about their participation and leadership in school and community activities. The scholarship recipients can use their award at any regionally accredited U.S. college or university of their choice. Hundreds visit Taste of Berkmar Hundreds of people visited Berkmar High School last month for the sixth annual Taste of Berkmar and fifth annual Berkmar Jazz Festival and Car Show. For $10, participants received 10 tickets to sample fares from several area restaurants, including Baradari Catering and Banquet, Carino's Italian Grill, Joes to Goes, and Little Gardens. The Tres Leches cake from Taqueria Los Hermanos was one of the most popular items. The Jazz Festival featured free performances from the Berkmar High School Jazz Band and Choir, Jazz Strings Orchestra and Jazz Band. The Jazz Guardians Army Big Band from Fort McPherson headlined the entertainment, and principal Ken Johnson played with his group, The Large Principal Quartet featuring Chris Enghauser. The event was a fund-raiser for the school's fine arts programs. Heather Darenberg writes about education. Good News From Schools appears in the Sunday edition of the Gwinnett Daily Post.

Several commercial titania photocatalyst powders were formed into thin (ca. 350 μm), 25 mm diameter ceramic wafers, sputter deposited with Pt on one side. The activities of each of the ceramic wafers were tested for hydrogen and oxygen evolution from aqueous sacrificial systems. The commercial sample PC50 (Millennium Chemicals, UK) yielded reproducible ceramic wafers with high activity for water photoreduction. Many of the ceramic wafers displayed low water photo-oxidation activities; however, these were greatly increased with addition of a NiO co-catalyst. In a selected case, hydrogen evolution activity was compared between a PC50 wafer and an identical weight of platinised PC50 powder suspension. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Not now, according to the appellate panel's order, via Above the Law:
Appellants' motion for a stay of the district court's order of August 4, 2010 pending appeal is GRANTED. The court sua sponte orders that this appeal be expedited pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 2. The provisions of Ninth Circuit Rule 31-2.2(a) (pertaining to grants of time extensions) shall not apply to this appeal. This appeal shall be calendared during the week of December 6, 2010, at The James R. Browning Courthouse in San Francisco, California.

I've sat and lain in bed for months
This is a life-size antique tuberculosis cure bed - rescued from the town dump in Saranac Lake. It has sewn into it the stories of girls and women who spent their days "curing" in tuberculosis sanatoriums across America, including Alice James in the late 1880's to Isabel Smith in the mid 1940's.
The stories of 16 year old Evelyn Bellak are told through her diary, whose entries are embroidered throughout the bed coverings as well as images of her diary pages that are printed on the mattress and pillow. Evelyn was at the Ray Brook Sanitarium in Ray Brook, NY (in the Adirondacks).
This piece also includes text from an Adirondack Porch Reclining Chair advertisement, as well as using vintage Burnitol sputum cups and a Bullseye Brand shot bag.
The Bed Project:
Because women have always been associated with the home, hearth and all the domestic duties that belong to them, this project is about memories and moments that are attached to specific objects within our homes − specifically beds. Historically our life cycle begins and ends in the bed. It used to be that all of our life cycles (birth, sickness, death) occurred in our beds, in the family home. In the second half of the 20th century so much of our lives have been taken out of the home and moved to places where we become handled by specialists i.e. the hospital bed or any other specialized institution.
It is because of these domestic associations, that in order to read these intimate stories the reader must unmake each bed, pulling back the covers to "turn the pages." In order to close the book, one must re-make the bed, mimicking the actions of women's housework that have been done for centuries.

Keith Thibodeaux
Little Ricky Ricardo
Born on December 1, 1950, in Lafayette, La., Keith Thibodeaux is arguably the most famous child actor in television history. A prodigy drummer, he was discovered at age 3 by bandleader Horace Heidt and was cast as Little Ricky Ricardo in 1956.
Thibodeaux continued to act after
I Love Lucy
went off the air, appearing in other sitcoms and playing Opie's friend Johnny Paul Jason on
The Andy Griffith Show
. In 1966 Thibodeaux's parents divorced and the young drummer-actor moved back to Louisiana with his mother and siblings. He graduated from Lafayette High School in 1968 and attended the University of Southwestern Louisiana.
As many former child actors seem to, Thibodeaux struggled with alcohol and drugs, and his abuse escalated when he joined David and the Giants -- a popular rock band that played mostly in the South. Two events eventually turned his life around: In 1976 he met Kathy Denton at a concert in Jackson, Miss. The couple married after a short whirlwind courtship, and Thibodeaux left the band. In 1978, Thibodeaux was baptized as a Christian. Separately, the leader of David and the Giants, David Huff, and his twin brothers, Clayborn and Rayborn, also became Christians. In 1979, David and the Giants reformed and went on to become one of the nation's top contemporary Christian music groups.
Thibodeaux has been the executive director of Ballet Magnificat!, a Christian ballet company, since 1993. His wife, Kathy, a ballet dancer, is the founder and artistic director of the company. They have a daughter named Tara. In 1994, Thibodeaux published his autobiography, Life After Lucy.
Character Bio
The son of Lucy and Ricky Ricardo, Little Ricky is an accomplished drummer like his father. He occasionally performs in his dad's club act, and of course, stars in a school play. He also has a dog named Fred after his landlord, Fred Mertz.

The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead Season 5: Abraham, Rosita Relationship to Be Explored
It was casually mentioned in The Walking Dead Season 4 that Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz) and Rosita Espinosa (Christian Serratos) were in a relationship, but we haven't really seen the dynamic between them. We don't know much about the two at all, but that should change in TWD Season 5.
"They are together and we will be exploring more of that," Michael Cudlitz told USA Today at Comic-Con, but he didn't quite define the characters' relationship as "love." As he put it, "I don't know what love looks like in an post-apocalyptic world. So ... maybe." It looks like Gleggie, sir!
Comic book writer/executive producer Robert Kirkman recently told AMC, "There are a couple of characters in particular coming up in Season 5 that will get very big chunks of their backstory revealed in a very cool way. Some of that is from the comic and, like always, some of it is not."
It seems like a safe bet that the Washington, D.C. mission trio will have some backstory shared, presumably after they get out of Terminus and work with Rick Grimes's (Andrew Lincoln) group on what to do next. Eugene Porter (Josh McDermitt) said he had answers on a cure, and the Comic-Con trailer suggests that knowledge will be put to the test. The trailer also shows Abraham falling to the ground for a dramatic cry. What could lead him to fall apart like that — a mission failure, or perhaps losing a loved one (like Rosita)? Or maybe that's part of his own backstory?
Are you glad we'll be seeing more of the Abraham/Rosita relationship in Season 5?
The Walking Dead Season 5 premieres Sunday, October 12 on AMC.

AboutThinking Things takes the relationship between art and the activity of thinking as its subject, exploring thinking's ambivalent entanglement with sculptural and visual forms through the practices of a number of contemporary artists, among them Richard Bevan, Vanessa Billy, Emilie Pitoiset and Zin Taylor, as well as through the work of the writer, film-maker and educator Fernand Deligny (1913-1996). The exhibition takes its name from an essay by literary theorist Steven Connor entitled Thinking Things, in which he writes thinking, which is properly nothing and nowhere, can only lay hold of itself in the form of a thing. But not just any thing will do, for it seems that it needs to be a special kind of thing, a thing apt to embody thought a thinking thing."

|By: Dr. John Ankerberg; ©2005
|Are there any "absolute" truths today? YES! In this article Dr. Ankerberg gives five FACTS about Jesus that are absolutely true—He lived; we have accurate information about Him; He claimed to be God; this claim was verified by His resurrection; and He is the only way to God!
A. Encyclopedia Britannica, 15th edition, devotes 20,000 words to the person of Jesus Christ and never once hints that He didn't exist.
B. Non-Christian sources mention Jesus:
A. There are 8 writers who claimed to be either eyewitnesses or to have had contact with eyewitnesses of Jesus' life: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, Peter, James and the writer of Hebrews.
B. These men claim to have written carefully researched accounts of their testimony:
C. These accounts were written in the 1st century—well within the lifetime of eyewitnesses:
D. Four things missing from the book of Acts prove it was written prior to 70 A.D.:
Why didn't Luke (the author) say anything about these major events and leaders? Because these events happened after he wrote his book. That's why many scholars date Acts around 64 A.D. If Acts was Luke's second book (Acts 1:1), then Luke was written before that. Matthew came before Luke, and almost all believe Mark came before either Luke or Matthew.
A. Mark 14:61-62—But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?" "I am," said Jesus. "And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."
B. Jesus said:
There are not 5 or 6 different ways to God. In fact, there are not even 2 different ways. Jesus says He is it! You won't get there without Him.
A. There are 4 facts that have forced even skeptics to accept that Jesus rose from the dead:
Paul said, in 55 A.D.:

According to reports from both The Wrap and Deadline, Steven Spielberg is trying to resurrect Minority Report as a TV series. The original movie was a science-fiction styled thriller set in the near-future – and its ideas on gesture-based interfaces have been referenced ever since. Fast Company even elaborated on seven crime-fighting technologies featured in the movie that had inspired real-life techniques. Other tech referenced in the 2002 movie included e-paper, retina scanners and advertising with facial recognition built-in. Spielberg wants the show to be produced by his company Amblin Entertainment and is looking to hook Godzilla writer Max Borenstein to pen it. Deadline adds that the project remains at the "very early stages of development." And in case you forgot, the movie itself was (pretty loosely) based on a short story by Philip K. Dick. If the TV series does happen, maybe it'll get a novelization — and the circle will be complete.

Palm Chief Says WebOS 2.0 On Target for Later This Year

Replying to: No Really by bluecoyote
Re: No Really
I was with you blue on the pre. Software is phenomenal and if the hardware catches up I'll move back to it. But the evo is a great phone. I've tested it against several iphones in real life and the evo is always faster. At everything. the browser loads flash and its still done faster. I'll grant that the iPhone is a better gaming platform but I've never cared about that. Plus ios seems dated to me at this point. Now I have no problem with people preferring the iPhone. It is after all a great phone but to call the evo, or the iPhone, inferior is just looking for a fight. Just like the dude who started this thread by insulting webos.

Gameloft updated a game! That's the real news.
NOVA gets Retina Display and Gyroscope support
Gameloft's NOVA has just received one awesome update; high-res retina display support and the ability to use the gyroscope (looks like Gun Range proved useful after all) for iPhone 4. First let's talk graphics...
This game looks absolutely amazing. Color. Crispness. It's all there. No aliasing problems, things just look great. Now for the not so great news, the Gyroscope.
I have been playing with the NOVA update for the last couple of days and for the life of me, I can't seem to feel comfortable using the gyroscope in conjunction with the traditional controls. Sure, the gyroscope is precise. Sure you can pivot in a circle and the game will rotate with you. But when it comes to playing in a firefight with aliens, it is hard to be using the traditional controls to pan while using the gyroscope to aim. Perhaps I just don't have the reflexes of my youth, but I found the experience frustrating. Thankfully you can turn the gyroscope controls off.
This was just my experience, how are you liking the update? Let us know in the comments!
Video after the break.

NOVA gets Retina Display and Gyroscope support
what a nerd throw ur dickphone away
haha and you said in one of the last Podcasts that Gameloft will not update their games.
Personally, I don't like EgoShooters on this kind of device, but looks great and I hope more games with iOS4/iPhone4 using features are coming :)
I hope my phone comes somewhen the next days :)
Keep on with great podcast.
I'm not brainwashed. I'm 15 years old and have turned my family over to apple because of quality products. Everybody is just jumping on apple now because they made a mistake. That never happens. Apples products are always perfect and Windows/Droid users alike kick themselves for it. And I have to agree on the iphone 4 reception issue some people are having. I know that it doesn't affect me at all. Plus apple is giving out free bumpers because of it and refunding users who bought them. Even with the bumper the iPhone 4 is thinner then any smartphone on the planet. So you can have your time to make fun of apple because they messed up once. And I'm proud you have that opportunity. But there's no need to go to a blog about apple products and just talk down about them. There's a time and place to share you thoughts, and we'd like to hear them. Just not here. -Royce
Thread cleaned. Let's try to keep the trolling and counter-trolling to a zero. Thanks!
the game is AMAZING
If Arch type got gryo controls, maybe i would buy it. it's a night and day difference.
I bought the game today on my iPhone 4, but the gyro support doesn't seem to work for me? Is it on for default setting? Or do I have to change something? I've digged around both game and phone settings, can't seem to find anything. I've tried another app which uses the gyro, and it works perfectly fine. So def. Something within the game? Help?

At the base of a brush-covered hill in South Africas Northern Cape province, a massive stone outcropping marks the entrance to one of humanitys oldest known dwelling places. Humans and our apelike ancestors have lived in Wonderwerk Cave for 2 million years most recently in the early 1900s, when a farm couple and their 14 children called it home. Wonderwerk holds another distinction as well: The cave contains the earliest solid evidence that our ancient human forebears (probably Homo erectus) were using fire.

Welcome to The Blessed Seed, specialist producers of the highest quality Black Seed products.
We are trained in healing therapies. Mr Antoine Pouget is a fully qualified Medical Herbalist and Daniel Goodwin is a trained masseur with diplomas in Full body massage and Indian head massage.
With the huge amount of healing capabilities found in black seed oil they were both interested in supplying this remarkable product to help heal illnesses.
Over their 10 years of producing black seed oil they noticed that the strength in the oil can vary considerably. It was Mr Antoine Pouget who recognised that this strength would come from the content of volatile oil. Most research papers had concentrated on the volatile components in their studies.
On analysis they found that the volatile oil may vary from 0% to 4.6% of the actual fixed oil. We are therefore now able to offer 3 different strengths of black seed oil and offer the strongest black seed oil available on the market.
Our strong oil has been analysed for thymoquinone and has a content of over 2%. Thymoquinone have been the centre of many of the studies done on black seed.
2% is the highest content of thymoquinone you can find in a natural product, that is 100% pure without any additives.
Black Seed oil is a wonderful product but it is not a new product. It has been used for 1000′s of years and was created for our good health. Not only is black seed used as a natural home remedy by millions of people, it is also applied by Practitioners in the Ayurvedic system of medicine and in the Islamic Unani Tibbb system of medicine.
Money Back Guarantee
We believe our products are the highest quality and offer a full money back guarantee when the product is returned within 40 days of purchase. Simply send the bottle back, even if it's empty, no questions asked and we will even pay the shipping cost of sending it back. Our oil is checked by Medical Herbalist, Mr Antoine Pouget, who analyses the samples we receive and advises us which seed produces the most beneficial oil.
The Blessed Seed Company's aim is to produce the highest quality and affordable cold pressed Blackseed oil so it retains its vital healing components (which are destroyed or damaged when pressed too fast or using chemicals). We take care to use only the best quality seeds that are available on the market.
We are specialists in black seed oil and believe we are surpassing the boundaries of other companies. All other companies are selling and claiming to have the best quality black seed oil.
However there is no company that actually emphasizes the importance of the content of volatile oil which makes black seed oil so unique.
We have 1.5% volatile/aromatic oil content in our regular black seed oil. Many of the studies have concentrated on the volatile oil. It is the aromatic oils that contain most of the anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and microbial /anti-fungal, anti-tumour and immune enhancing activity.
Black seed oil normally contains between 0.5% to 1.5% so as you will note our oil has the maximum. This does not occur to adding any additives. Our oil is 100% pure virgin quality cold pressed black seed oil.
We also have a stronger black seed oil that is unique to the market which has a content of 4.6% volatile oil. This makes the oil potentially 3-4 times stronger than most of the oil in the market. This oil is not recommended for beginners.
At the same time as maintaining the highest quality, we are trying to produce this wonderful product at a price you can afford. This oil can work quickly on certain ailments, such as stomach upsets and minor skin irritations, indeed, some allergy sufferers have noticed quite quickly how it calms their allergic reactions.
However, if the problems are deep rooted then the oil needs to be taken over a continual period. We have produced this Blackseed oil, at a price, we hope will make it available for most people to use properly. We offer a very good wholesale package that brings the price down for 6 bottles. Also our bottles come with a special pourer cap leaving no oil running down the side of the bottle.
Our Blackseed oil is a very high quality we have worked on for years. Also, the feedback we have had from our customers of how well the oil has worked for them has encouraged us and our hope is to improve our quality in the future, if it is possible and we welcome any suggestions you may have.
We pray that our brand will give benefit and help to our customers and give people the confidence that God Almighty created everything for our benefit. The holistic capability of Blackseed oil is a clear sign that Nigella Sativa is created for our optimum good health and to relieve us in our ailments.

Is the movie any good? Arch Campbell has a full review.
