Water for Elephantsby Sara Gruen
Staff Pick
Well, first, I am a sucker for any book set at the circus. But throw in the massive talent that Sara Gruen has and then tell me a love story? Far from the cliché book club pick, Water for Elephants will be read for your next club meeting and then you'll sneak time away to reread it. The highest praise that I can give this book is that I have never loaned it to anyone and can't even imagine giving it away. It's a keeper.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
An atmospheric, gritty, and compelling novel of star-crossed lovers, set in the circus world circa 1932, by the bestselling author of Riding Lessons.
When Jacob Jankowski, recently orphaned and suddenly adrift, jumps onto a passing train, he enters a world of freaks, grifters, and misfits, a second-rate circus struggling to survive during the Great Depression, making one-night stands in town after endless town. A veterinary student who almost earned his degree, Jacob is put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It is there that he meets Marlena, the beautiful young star of the equestrian act, who is married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. He also meets Rosie, an elephant who seems untrainable until he discovers a way to reach her.
Beautifully written, Water for Elephants is illuminated by a wonderful sense of time and place. It tells a story of a love between two people that overcomes incredible odds in a world in which even love is a luxury that few can afford.
"With a showman's expert timing, [Gruen] saves a terrific revelation for the final pages, transforming a glimpse of Americana into an enchanting escapist fairy tale." New York Times Book Review
"Gruen has done her homework...lively with historical detail and unexpected turns....[A] delightful gem springing from a fascinating footnote to history that absolutely deserved to be mined." Denver Post
"One of the many pleasures of this novel is the opportunity to enter a bizarrely coded and private world with its own laws, superstitions and vocabulary....The pleasures of that world were so compelling, so detailed and vivid, that I couldn't bear to be torn away from it for a single minute." Chicago Tribune
"Jankowski is waiting for the circus to come to town, and what happens when it finally arrives provides the book's punch line. Gruen's sympathy for this character and for the aging process in general is her strongest suit." Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Gruen sketches out character, events and the circus' special lingo with well-chosen words....She keeps the story moving like a speeding train." Charlotte Observer
"Old-fashioned and endearing, this is an enjoyable, fast-paced story." Library Journal
"The leisurely recreation of the circus's daily routine is lovely and mesmerizing." Kirkus Reviews
"The circus, the Great Depression, a complex elephant, equally complex love, the mists and twists of memory articulated in the utterly winning voice of a very old man who's seen it all: these are the irresistible elements of Water for Elephants. Sara Gruen has written an utterly transporting novel richly full of the stuff of life." Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain
"Gorgeous, brilliant, and superbly plotted, Water for Elephants swept me into the world of the circus during the Depression, and it did not let me go until the very end. I don't think it has let me go, even now. Sara Gruen has a voice to rival John Irving's and I am hopelessly, unabashedly in love with this book. Read it." Joshilyn Jackson, author of Gods in Alabama
"[A] well-researched adventure into the weird and charming universe of the Depression-era circus....If you are expecting a quick, straightforward story that still manages to give your imagination a meat-and-potatoes meal worthy of the circus cookhouse, Water for Elephants is an excellent candidate." Portland Oregonian
Though he may not speak of them, the memories still dwell inside Jacob Jankowski's ninety-something-year-old mind. Memories of himself as a young man, tossed by fate onto a rickety train that was home to the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. Memories of a world filled with freaks and clowns, with wonder and pain and anger and passion; a world with its own narrow, irrational rules, its own way of life, and its own way of death. The world of the circus: to Jacob it was both salvation and a living hell.
As a young man, Jacob Jankowski was tossed by fate onto a rickety train that was home to the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. It was the early part of the great Depression, and for Jacob, now ninety, the circus world he remembers was both his salvation and a living hell. A veterinary student just shy of a degree, he was put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It was there that he met Marlena, the beautiful equestrian star married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. And he met Rosie, an untrainable elephant who was the great gray hope for this third-rate traveling show. The bond that grew among this unlikely trio was one of love and trust, and, ultimately, it was their only hope for survival.
About the Author
Sara Gruen's first novel, Riding Lessons, was published in 2004. She is an animal lover who lives with her husband, three children, five cats, two goats, a dog, and a horse in an environmental community north of Chicago. Many of the characters and incidents in the novel are based on real people and true stories gleaned from her extensive research into the world of traveling circuses of the 1930s.

- How to Read a Study Record
The goal of this study is to collect preliminary data on the efficacy of a cognitive remediation program in improving the neurocognitive deficits in children with chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS). This study involves a two part approaching including a computerized cognitive remediation program (CCRP, Posit Science, CA) in combination with a Social Cognitive Training (SCT) program. The computer-based training program has shown encouraging results in improving learning deficits in individuals with schizophrenia and we now seek to adapt them to children with 22q11DS, who have unique needs due to their lower IQ and high risk of psychosis in late adolescence and adulthood. The SCT is a small-group intervention program based on cognitive enhancement therapy, which has been shown to improve social cognition and functionality in adults with schizophrenia. A preliminary study will be performed using this two-pronged approach, to establish the feasibility and gather preliminary data on neurocognition before and after the intervention in these children; these data would enable a larger randomized controlled study to assess the efficacy of this approach.

Flights to Palma from Europe
Flights from Palma
The fishing nets put out to dry on the quayside glisten brightly in Mediterranean blue. Behind the nets you can catch sight of the stock exchange building La Lonja, dating from 1388. During the Middle Ages, the place where local people are now drinking coffee was where most of the Mediterranean area's trade was handled. As early as 123 BC the Romans christened this town with the name Palmeria. Later, the name given to Palma by the Moors—Medina Mayurka—became the name for the whole island.Address: Palma

The inhabitants of Soller lived for centuries hidden in a valley behind a huge row of mountains. It was so hard to climb the mountain chain that people preferred to go to Palma by boat.

In 1911 a tunnel was dug through the mountains, so finally the people of Soller could get in touch with their own island. The wonderful little train is still there today.Address: Soller

PROVIDENCE — A small, sly grin quickly formed on Ed Cooley's face upon being asked about reaching out to members of the coaching fraternity with firsthand knowledge of Robert Morris University.
Venturing a guess based on his facial expression, the Providence head coach set some time aside over the weekend to put feelers out. If undertaking the quest of learning more about the Colonials is Cooley's pleasure, a valuable resource is located just up the road.
PROVIDENCE — A small, sly grin quickly formed on Ed Cooley's face upon being asked about reaching out to members of the coaching fraternity with firsthand knowledge of Robert Morris University.
Venturing a guess based on his facial expression, the Providence head coach set some time aside over the weekend to put feelers out. If undertaking the quest of learning more about the Colonials is Cooley's pleasure, a valuable resource is located just up the road.
Sharing insider information does come with a price, meaning it wouldn't come as a great shock to learn that Bryant University head man Tim O'Shea hit up Cooley for tickets for Monday night's second-round NIT contest at The Dunk between PC and Robert Morris. Call it a case of "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" between two basketball lifers who cut their coaching teeth on the same Boston College staff for four seasons (1997-2001).
"We call our friends," was as far as Cooley wished to go about tapping resources regarding Robert Morris. "We call the people we love."
O'Shea knows exactly what's in store for Cooley's Friars. Bryant and Robert Morris are Northeast Conference brethren and staged two very entertaining contests during the regular season. Home-court advantage was a moot point with each side winning on the other's floor. Bryant ruled the Jan. 3 meeting in Pittsburgh by an 84-77 count, while Robert Morris returned the favor 3 ½ weeks ago in Smithfield with a hard-fought 77-75 verdict that secured the NEC regular-season title.
Two items of note that jump out when analyzing RMU is that the team's bread-and-butter is the three-point shot. The Colonials made 284 treys during the regular season, good for a fourth-place tie among Division I schools, and were on target 38 percent of the time. In two games against Bryant, Robert Morris converted 23-of-65 shots from beyond the arc.
While it's easy to say that the Colonials are prolific marksmen and leave it at that, O'Shea noted that what allows coach Andy Toole's club the freedom to fire away at a high rate is a hoops trait that is vastly coveted.
"They have really good quickness, which I think is the most important factor in basketball. You have quickness and three-point shooting, that's a deadly combination," notes O'Shea.
The Colonials feature incredible offensive balance with six players averaging between eight and 12 points. Five of the six key players in Toole's rotation have the green light to shoot with those within the select company making between 34 and 78 3-balls.
Karvel Anderson tops the Colonials in scoring (12.3 ppg) and 3-pointers (78-for-180, good for 43.3 percent). Velton Jones is another backcourt piece who can score (10.8 ppg), facilitate (team-leading 5.9 assists) and defend (51 steals in 30 games).
"I think I voted Jones MVP of the league ahead of our own guys," O'Shea said. "I like their team. They play really hard."
Holding up against Providence's frontcourt figures to pose a challenge for Robert Morris, which grabs 31.9 rebounds per outing with foes grabbing 33.2 boards. Then again, it should be noted that the Colonials are a respectable 13-9 when outrebounded.
"Any Big East school is going to present a school from the NEC with problems inside. Guys like (PC's Kadeem Batts and LaDontae Henton) are a load to deal with," O'Shea expressed. "(Robert Morris) contests the passing lanes and is very good in rotating and taking charges. They are well coached with a lot of athletic ability."
In O'Shea's eyes, Robert Morris has distinguished itself as a team that doesn't unravel when the time comes to hit the road. The Colonials overcame a hostile and sold-out Chace Athletic Center on Bryant's campus and went into a SEC barn on Dec. 20 and provided host Arkansas with fits before falling by five points. Likewise, RMU stayed by Xavier's side for much of the way with late free throws paving the way in the Musketeers' 61-59 home win back on Nov. 17.
Undoubtedly, RMU will venture into Providence armed with a swagger of uncanny proportions following last week's 59-57 first-round NIT stunner of defending national champion Kentucky. The Colonials plan to make themselves feel quite at home as space at the Dunkin' Donuts Center has been set aside for two busloads of fans along with the school's band and cheerleaders.
"They've played a lot of teams like Providence and have done very well. They are not going to be intimidated when they walk into The Dunk and that's why I think it should be an entertaining game," said O'Shea. "One thing about the NEC is that you have to be tough. The travel we do and the venues we play in, it's a super competitive league and usually you're not playing before a packed house. You have to be mentally tough and Robert Morris is."
Kris Dunn came to PC armed with the reputation as a silky smooth point guard with a knack of breaking down defenses and creating prime scoring opportunities for his teammates. Very quietly, the New Haven, Conn. product has emerged as a high-volume shiner of glass.
The nine rebounds snatched by the freshman Dunn in last Wednesday's NIT win against Charlotte marked the fourth time in five games that he's snared seven or more rebounds. Listed at 6-foot-3, the shifty Dunn has been asked to play closer to the rim where he can use his long arms to snare the pumpkin and trigger the Friars when they break in the opposite direction.
Given the size of 6-foot-1 Bryce Cotton and 6-foot-2 Vincent Council, Dunn understands why he's being asked to get physical down low. For someone who is less than a year removed from major shoulder surgery, he's answered the bell to average 4.8 boards, good for third most on the Friars.
"The coaches tell me to crash the boards, so they must think I'm one of the better rebounders," said Dunn. "They're always telling me to do the things that I do best, which is rebounding and bringing good energy. My natural ability to score will come with time, they say, but I just have to learn the game more."
Amidst the glow of the Big East's well-compensated television deal with Fox Sports, the question was raised regarding what happens to games that don't appear on a Fox affiliate. Is the local market granted permission to televise, which in turn would pave the way for PC Friar conference games to remain in the hands of Cox Communications?
"I never got into the details of the sublicensing stuff, but I think every game except 20 will be aired on some Fox platform," stated the Rev. Brian J. Shanley, the president of PC. "Potentially, those games could come to local television and we want to keep it in the local market, but I'm not sure if it's going to affect the Cox deal."
Under the "old" Big East's TV agreement with ESPN, every league contest appeared on one of the network's headlining channels (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU) or on ESPN-Plus, which is the feed Cox picked up.
"Cox has always been a tremendous supporter of all of our programs, so we're going to do whatever we can to keep that relationship alive," stated Bob Driscoll, PC's athletic director.
RIM RATTLERS: The date for Monday's PC-Robert Morris NIT clash is March 25. Season-wise, the last time the Friars played at such a late juncture was March 24, 2003. … The turnaround for Monday's victor is a swift one with Wednesday marking an "Elite Eight" matchup at Baylor.

There will be no end to the War on Terror and the targeting of "suspected militants" will continue and become more sophisticated, according to an article published in the Washington Post on October 23.
In the piece, Greg Miller describes a project the Obama administration has been developing for a couple of years called — in true Orwellian fashion — the "disposition matrix."
Glen Greenwald at the Guardian (U.K.) describes the matrix's chain of command:
The "disposition matrix" has been developed and will be overseen by the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC). One of its purposes is "to augment" the "separate but overlapping kill lists" maintained by the CIA and the Pentagon: to serve, in other words, as the centralized clearinghouse for determining who will be executed without due process based upon how one fits into the executive branch's "matrix".
According to reports, the plans for perpetuating and perfecting the death-by-drone program "contains the names of terrorism suspects arrayed against an accounting of the resources being marshaled to track them down, including sealed indictments and clandestine operations."
The article quotes "U.S. officials" saying that the matrix will improve the existing pair of kill lists (one maintained by the President, the other kept by the CIA) by "mapping plans for the 'disposition' of suspects beyond the reach of American drones."

Findings of 2004 Amendment
Pub. L. 108–377, § 2,Oct. 30, 2004, 118 Stat. 2202, provided that: "The Congress finds the following:
"(1) Asthma is a chronic condition requiring lifetime, ongoing medical intervention.
"(2) In 1980, 6,700,000 Americans had asthma.
"(3) In 2001, 20,300,000 Americans had asthma; 6,300,000 children under age 18 had asthma.
"(4) The prevalence of asthma among African-American children was 40 percent greater than among Caucasian children, and more than 26 percent of all asthma deaths are in the African-American population.
"(5) In 2000, there were 1,800,000 asthma-related visits to emergency departments (more than 728,000 of these involved children under 18 years of age).
"(6) In 2000, there were 465,000 asthma-related hospitalizations (214,000 of these involved children under 18 years of age).
"(7) In 2000, 4,487 people died from asthma, and of these 223 were children.
"(8) According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, asthma is a common cause of missed school days, accounting for approximately 14,000,000 missed school days annually.
"(9) According to the New England Journal of Medicine, working parents of children with asthma lose an estimated $1,000,000,000 a year in productivity.
"(10) At least 30 States have legislation protecting the rights of children to carry and self-administer asthma metered-dose inhalers, and at least 18 States expand this protection to epinephrine auto-injectors.
"(11) Tragic refusals of schools to permit students to carry their inhalers and auto-injectable epinephrine have occurred, some resulting in death and spawning litigation.
"(12) School district medication policies must be developed with the safety of all students in mind. The immediate and correct use of asthma inhalers and auto-injectable epinephrine are necessary to avoid serious respiratory complications and improve health care outcomes.
"(13) No school should interfere with the patient-physician relationship.
"(14) Anaphylaxis, or anaphylactic shock, is a systemic allergic reaction that can kill within minutes. Anaphylaxis occurs in some asthma patients. According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, people who have experienced symptoms of anaphylaxis previously are at risk for subsequent reactions and should carry an epinephrine auto-injector with them at all times, if prescribed.
"(15) An increasing number of students and school staff have life-threatening allergies. Exposure to the affecting allergen can trigger anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis requires prompt medical intervention with an injection of epinephrine."

Jasper Morrison
The Jasper Morrison Story
One of today's most influential industrial designers, Jasper Morrison has designed everything from forks to a tram system. As described by critic Charles Arthur Boyer, Morrison's design ethos is "to produce everyday objects for everyone's use, make things lighter not heavier, softer not harder, inclusive rather than exclusive, and generate energy, light and space." This philosophy of universal style and functionality was formed within Morrison at an early age.

Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, was one of 126 members of the House of Representatives to sign a letter requesting Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to rethink planned civilian furloughs linked to sequestration.
The letter, written by Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., the ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, argues that the furloughs would affect mission readiness and, if done uniformly, would punish organizations that have streamlined their operations.
Current plans are for civilians to have 14 furlough days to be distributed until the end of September, down from the original count of 22.
The full letter, which was sent April 23, can be found online at www.bit.ly/143iNPt.

Sherrie Johnson is growing her tomatoes in containers this year. This allows her to move them around and place them where there is the most sun in her yard, the driveway.
Beautiful, tasty tomatoes are grown in Florida. Choose a spot with sun for at least 6 to 8 hours and well-drained soil.
Periwinkles are old garden favorites in Florida. They are drought tolerant and salt tolerant, and bloom continuously. There are many new varieties on the market of which some are more compact and bushy than older selections and come in new colors like this Cora Lavender.
Classic Growers of Stuart grow and bring in a wide selection of annual and perennial flowers for the fall and winter planting season.
Newly planted trees and shrubs require more water than most automatic irrigation systems can supply without overwatering the rest of the landscape. A water ring built of mulch or soil is a good thing. It facilitates capturing and directing water to the root ball.

Most Americans associate May Day with the hanging of flower baskets or the National Day of Prayer. With the Cold War now a distant memory, we seem to have forgotten that May 1, or May Day, while traditionally representing the coming of spring, has been for over a century the most important calendar day of the year for communists, socialists, and anarchists. This was the traditional day in the Soviet Union and the communist bloc countries for massive parades, replete with missiles, tanks, rank upon rank of goose-stepping troops, red flags, and huge posters of Marx and Lenin. This has not changed in countries that are still officially communist, such as China, North Korea, Cuba, and Vietnam. In non-communist countries of the world, the communist and socialist parties have continued to hold May Day celebrations, usually under the banner of International Workers Solidarity Day.
According to The Great Soviet Encyclopedia, communist countries and communist parties celebrate May Day "by mobilizing the working people in the struggle to build socialism and communism." The same source goes on to report: "On May Day the working people of the Soviet Union show their solidarity with the revolutionary struggles of the working people in capitalist countries and with national liberation movements. They express their determination to use all their power for the struggle for peace and building of a communist society."

Both sides of the Interstate 98 debate heard pieces of what they wanted from Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Tuesday in Potsdam.
Gov. Cuomo said the government does not have enough money to pay for an interstate linking Watertown to Plattsburgh and told supporters to get an economic reality check. But he also allowed that the proposed limited-access highway might be a good idea that should be studied.
I think its positive, said Wade A. Davis, chairman of the Northern Corridor Transportation Group, which favors construction of I-98. It says exactly whats out there. The state doesnt have a lot of money. He left the door open. Were pleased the governor thinks the highway may be a good idea. Theres more than adequate justification for a highway in Northern New York.
John W. Danis, a spokesman for YESeleven, a grass-roots organization that prefers improvements to Route 11 before determining whether an interstate is needed, took Gov. Cuomos comments differently.
Im glad to hear the governor shut it down, Mr. Danis said.
Mr. Danis said he thought Gov. Cuomo walked a fine line, using a lack of money to construct an interstate as a way of avoiding full support or opposition. It was a well-reasoned calculation on Cuomos part, Mr. Danis said.
The comments were a victory of sorts for I-98 supporters, Mr. Danis said.
They have finally got the governors attention, he said.
I-98 supporter Mark J. Bellardini agreed with Mr. Danis on that point.
Its obviously on the governors mind, he said. Thats what I got out of it. He said were constrained but its a good idea.
The project sometimes called the rooftop highway has been kicked around for years but has taken on a recent resurgence because it would bring construction jobs to a bad economy and help attract industry for the long term, Mr. Davis said.
We need highway infrastructure to do its part, he said.
Meanwhile, the $6.3 million in federal money I-98 supporters thought was earmarked for the interstate is instead being used to plan improvements to Route 11, but there is no date for construction.
We dont have the money for things we need to do, state Department of Transportation spokesman Michael R. Flick said.
A lack of money for I-98 will not put an end to the discussion of the need for an interstate, Mr. Danis predicted.
Its always risen and fallen, he said. Itll probably quiet things down for a little while.
