The Age of Miraclesby Karen Thompson Walker
Staff Pick
As if facing the everyday insecurities and turmoil of adolescence isn't enough, 11-year-old Julia lives within the reality of a post-apocalyptic situation as the earth's rotation begins slowing by measurable degrees each day. Relationships, personal and official, fracture, torn apart by the uncertainty of living in a world where time — night, day, schedules — no longer holds much meaning. In a tale that is as graceful as it is intelligent, as realistic as it is fantastic, this haunting debut creates a snapshot of a world changing beyond recognition. What effect will it have on you?
Synopses & Reviews
From Powells.com:
Publisher Comments:
With a voice as distinctive and original as that of The Lovely Bones, and for the fans of the speculative fiction of Margaret Atwood, Karen Thompson Walker's The Age of Miracles is a luminous, haunting, and unforgettable debut novel about coming of age set against the backdrop of an utterly altered world.
"It still amazes me how little we really knew....Maybe everything that happened to me and my family had nothing at all to do with the slowing. It's possible, I guess. But I doubt it. I doubt it very much."
On a seemingly ordinary Saturday in a California suburb, Julia and her family awake to discover, along with the rest of the world, that the rotation of the earth has suddenly begun to slow. The days and nights grow longer and longer, gravity is affected, the environment is thrown into disarray. Yet as she struggles to navigate an ever-shifting landscape, Julia is also coping with the normal disasters of everyday life — the fissures in her parents' marriage, the loss of old friends, the hopeful anguish of first love, the bizarre behavior of her grandfather who, convinced of a government conspiracy, spends his days obsessively cataloging his possessions. As Julia adjusts to the new normal, the slowing inexorably continues.
"In this gripping debut, 11-year-old Julia wakes one day to the news that the earth's rotation has started slowing. The immediate effects — no one at soccer practice; relentless broadcasts of the same bewildered scientists — soon feel banal compared to what unfolds. 'The slowing' is growing slower still, and soon both day and night are more than twice as long as they once were. When governments decide to stick to the 24-hour schedule (ignoring circadian rhythms), a subversive movement erupts, 'real-timers' who disregard the clock and appear to be weathering the slowing better than clock-timers — at first. Thompson's Julia is the perfect narrator. On the brink of adolescence, she's as concerned with buying her first bra as with the birds falling out of the sky. She wants to be popular as badly as she wants her world to remain familiar. While the apocalypse looms large — has in fact already arrived — the narrative remains fiercely grounded in the surreal and horrifying day-to-day and the personal decisions that persist even though no one knows what to do. A triumph of vision, language, and terrifying momentum, the story also feels eerily plausible, as if the problems we've been worrying about all along pale in comparison to what might actually bring our end. Agent: Eric Simonoff, WME Entertainment." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"[Walker's] voice turns what might have been just a clever mash-up of disaster epic with sensitive young-adult, coming-of-age story into a genuinely moving tale that mixes the real and surreal, the ordinary and the extraordinary with impressive fluency and flair." Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
"The Age of Miracles spins its glowing magic through incredibly lucid and honest prose, giving equal care and dignity to the small spheres and the large. It is at once a love letter to the world as we know it and an elegy." Aimee Bender, author of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake
"Gripping from first page to last, The Age of Miracles is itself a small, perfectly formed miracle: Written with the cadence and pitch of poetry, this gem of a novel is a wrenching and all-too-believable parable for our times, and one of the most original coming-of-age stories I have ever read. Karen Thompson Walker is the real deal." Dani Shapiro, author of Devotion
"Walker captures each moment, intimate and universal, with magical precision. Riveting, heartbreaking, profoundly moving." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"The Age of Miracles is pure magnificence. Deeply moving and beautifully executed, Karen Thompson Walker has written the perfect novel for the global-warming age." Nathan Englander, author of What We Talk About When We Talk about Anne Frank
"What a remarkable and beautifully wrought novel. In its depiction of a world at once utterly like and unlike our own, The Age of Miracles is so convincingly unsettling that it just might make you stockpile emergency supplies of batteries and bottled water. It also — thank goodness — provides great solace with its wisdom, its compassion, and the elegance of its storytelling." Curtis Sittenfeld, author of Prep
"'Miracles' indeed. Karen Thompson Walker's debut novel is a stunner from the first page — an end-of-the-world, coming-of-age tale of quiet majesty. I loved this novel and can't wait to see what this remarkable writer will do next." Justin Cronin, author of The Passage
"Is the end near? In Karen Thompson Walker's beautiful and frightening debut, sunsets are becoming rarities, 'real-timers' live in daylight colonies while mainstream America continues to operate on the moribund system of 'Clock Time,' and environmentalists rail against global dependence on crops that guzzle light. Against this apocalyptic backdrop, Walker sets the coming-of-age story of brave, bewildered Julia, who wonders at the 'malleable rhythms'of the increasingly erratic adults around her. Like master fabulists Steven Millhauser and Kevin Brockmeier, Karen Thompson Walker takes a fantastic premise and makes it feel thrillingly real. In precise, poetic language, she floods the California suburbs with shadows and a doomsday glow, and in this altered light shows us amazing things about how one family responds to a stunningly imagined global crisis." Karen Russell, author of Swamplandia!
"This is what imagination is. In The Age of Miracles, the earth's rotation slows, gravity alters, days are stretched out to fifty hours of sunlight. In the midst of this, a young girl falls in loves, sees things she shouldn't and suffers heartbreak of the most ordinary kind. Karen Thompson Walker has managed to combine fiction of the dystopian future with an incisive and powerful portrait of our personal present." Amy Bloom, author of Away
"The Age of Miracles is pure magnificence. Deeply moving and beautifully executed, Karen Thompson Walker has written the perfect novel for the global-warming age." Nathan Englander, author of For the Relief of Unbearable Urges
"Reading The Age of Miracles is like gazing into a sky of constellations and being mesmerized by the the strange yet familiar sensation of infinity. Beautifully written, the novel lets the readers see the world within us and the world without with an unforgettable freshness." Yiyun Li, author of Gold Boy, Emerald Girl
"The Age of Miracles is harrowing and beautiful on the ways in which those catastrophes already hidden about us in plain sight, once ratcheted up just a bit, provide us with a glimpse of the end of our species' run on earth: the uncanny distress of hundreds of beached whales, or the surreal unease of waves rolling across the rooftops of beachfront houses. And as it does it reminds us of all of the miracles of human regard that will have taken place before then: the way compassion will retain its resilience, and the way, for those of us in love, a string of afternoons will be as good as a year." Jim Shepard, author of Like You'd Understand, Anyway (National Book Award finalist)

|Written by Administrator
|Wednesday, 14 February 2007 11:02
In 2005, 74 children aged seven and younger were seriously injured in
motor vehicle crashes in North Carolina. 26 were killed. Police report
that at least 27 of those children were not in child safety restraints.
This week marks the beginning of National Child Passenger Safety Week.
Gov. Mike Easley urges motorists to remain diligent about properly
securing children in age and size-appropriate car seats and booster
seats. North Carolina Law requires that everyone in a vehicle be
buckled up. Children younger than age eight, or who weigh less than 80
pounds must be properly secured age and size appropriate seat. The
vehicle driver is considered by law to be responsible for whether the
children in their car are in proper seating, whether the driver is a
parent or not. If you have any question about whether you are using a
proper seat, or have your seat properly installed, Watauga County
Safekids can help you. They will be available at Boone Ford Lincoln
Mercury this Saturday from 10am to 2pm. Ashe County residents can take
advantage of Car Seat Checks every third Friday at Family Central

James Quantz Jr. Behind the Scenes, Hut Hut Hike!
When James Quantz Jr. was asked to create a number of promotional images for the University of South Carolina's 2013 football season, he approached the project from a fan's perspective. "If I think it would look cool on my wall," he says of the concept, "I'm hoping I'm hitting on where the fans are coming from."
In the behind the scenes video, you can see him working with Paul C. Buff Einstein lights with a variety of modifiers, including a large umbrella and a grid. The Paul C. Buff Einstein lights are being triggered by PocketWizard PowerMC2 Receivers. He shoots the athletes in a controlled environment and then composites them into background images of a full stadium that he had shot earlier.
And what's that on top of his camera? A PocketWizard Plus III! He says,
"During a photoshoot like this when I'm capturing athletes in motion, I rely on my PocketWizards to sync flawlessly so I don't miss any of the action. A lot of times these are day long events so one of my favorite features on the Plus III is a battery level indicator so I always know when power might be running low."

Chip Prince, Julia Hartman, Zara Lawler, and Wayne Batcheler gathered at Julia's apartment on Valentine's Day to record the 2013 CDNY Playford Ball practice CD. Zara said "What a fun and creative way to spend the day! It was so interesting to get to plan and talk about each tune, a luxury that we normally don't have time for at the dances themselves." We hope you will enjoy it, and find it helpful in preparing for the Ball.

Thursday, December 18, 2008The Lipscomb University Men's and Women's Track & Field programs have added Buford Williams as an assistant coach. He will work with the jumps and sprints at Lipscomb.
"Buford is a great guy with extensive first hand experience in the jumps and sprints," says head coach Bill Taylor. "He is a terrific addition to our coaching staff. In particular, Steven Lindsey, our freshman high jumper, is really benefiting from Buford's knowledge."
Williams graduated from Tennessee State University in 2007 with a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science. As a standout jumper and sprinter for TSU, Williams won Ohio Valley Conference titles in the long jump or high jump five times.
He placed third or better in the long jump, high jump, triple jump or 100m eleven times, was named the OVC Male Athlete of the Championships in 2006 and was awarded as the Tennessee State University Male Athlete of the Year in 2007.
Williams also qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Regional Championships three times and served as team captain from 2007 to 2008.

Orioles lineup:
2B Roberts
RF Markakis
3B Wigginton
1B Scott
LF Pie
CF Jones
C Wieters
DH Patterson
SS Izturis
P Bergesen
-Roberts is back in the lineup after needing just a day off to rest his leg, it was sore after being hit 2 days ago, but says it is fine now
-Per Brittany Ghiroli and other Orioles sources, Jake Arrieta is expected to be shut down for the season following last night's 6 inning 4 hit shutout performance. No official announcement yet, just strong speculation.
-Julio Lugo is still day-to-day with headaches, saying that after seeing a doctor, he has an infection in his sinuses. His status for coming off the bench tonight is unknown.
-Brian Matusz will make his next start, but it may be pushed back a day or two just to let him fully heal and rest after being hit on his arm and getting a left triceps contusion on Monday.
-Don't expect Buck to use Pedro Viola more than once or twice more this season. He was just God-awful.

Calvin Pace Clearly Not Fond of Wildcat
Last night, after the Jets got bested time and again by Chad Henne and the Wildcat, here's what Calvin Pace, fresh off his four game suspension, had to say about the Dolphins.
Calvin Pace on Henne: "Against a second-year clown quarterback, we didn't affect him enough. I guess you have to give him credit. The defense lost the game today."
Calvin Pace on the Wildcat: "I can't respect that stuff, all that Wildcat. We're in the N.F.L. Don't come here with that nonsense."
Don't come here? Pace is in their house, and it worked almost every time … so why is he calling his opponent's QB a "clown" and big-timing a scheme that just embarrassed him?
I like Pace a lot, but that's just being childish.
If I was a Miami player, I'd tell him "check out the nametag, you're in my world now, grandma."
Oh dear.

COLUMBUS — As the region continues to experience one of the coldest, snowiest winters in recent years, growers and producers can take measures to ensure their safety in increasingly hazardous outdoor conditions, said a safety specialist with the Ohio AgrAbility Program at Ohio State University's College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences.
While snowy, icy conditions can be a hazard for anyone, growers and producers in many instances have a greater risk for injuries from slips and falls because they work in areas that have a variety of walking and working surfaces, including sloped and uneven terrain, said Kent McGuire, Ohio AgrAbility coordinator for Ohio State University Extension.
Farmers have an increased risk of injury from falling because of the variety of surfaces and changes in elevation they encounter on a regular basis, he said.
Livestock barns, haylofts, feedlots, wash down areas, farm equipment steps, ladders and work platforms can all pose a potential fall hazard, McGuire said.
"Typically farmers aren't working in controlled environments and throughout the course of the day will often work on several different work surfaces and different terrain types," he said.
"You add an element of cold weather, ice and snow, and that increases the potential for injury from slips, trips and falls.
"If we get any significant amount of snowfall, it can reduce your perception of changes in elevation. You don't see that small change in elevation because it is hidden under the snow. It looks like a smooth surface because the snow that is giving you that perception."
In fact, nearly all slips or falls are caused by substandard walking surfaces, surface contaminants such as oil or grease, wearing the wrong footwear, or a person's walking style, McGuire said.
To help prevent work-related injuries on farms, proper housekeeping and lighting of travel paths and working surfaces is key, he said.
Also, choosing the proper footwear for weather or work conditions can lessen the potential for injury and even reduce fatigue, which is also an important factor, McGuire said.
"Vision can also be an issue of concern with falls," he said. "Extreme changes in light can intensify in the winter, which can impact your vision.
"This is especially true when you walk into dimly lit barns or buildings from the brightness of the snow-covered outdoors. In this case, the new environment will appear very dark or black — so you need to stop walking and take a few seconds for your eyes to adjust before moving on."
Other tips to prevent injuries include:

Posted on December 17, 2013
Opeth's Mikael Åkerfeldt has been awarded a SKAP (Swedish composers and lyricists) scholarship and diploma at an intimate event in the south side of Stockholm. SKAP deliver scholarships to Swedish musicians who they feel have contributed to Swedish music and culture. This year Mikael was awarded an exclusive scholarship for his services to the Swedish and international music scene.
The Opeth frontman had this to say about the recognition, "I'm quite honoured to receive this. Apparently you can't apply for this scholarship, a board of legendary musicians decide that you're the right person for this award. I had never even heard of SKAP before they contacted me. I'm happy and surprised there's some focus on heavy Swedish music and genuinely chuffed that they focused in on me. Through time I've been handed some awards and whatnot, but this one resonates more in me personally. No glitz and glamour, just some appreciation for what we and I do musically. It's well appreciated!"

[Hello all. A small group of us have been having the occasional post-screening discussion in response to the Jarman retrospective now on. As I noted yesterday, none of us have been quite sure how to gauge our encounter with Derek Jarman. Weighing in below are Brecht Andersch, our projectionist, and Stephen Hartman, film-loving psychoanalyst! (You may remember them from our summer of Alexanderplatz). If you have thoughts, we'd love to hear them.]
So fond of techno am I that I have always refused to listen to—I'm sure I've even said "hated"—opera without knowing much about it. Then, recently, a dear friend set out to convert me. We spent a wonderful evening listening and comparing. As I write now, my new heroine Régine Crespin is belting out Verdi. Alas, me…a convert?
Unfortunately, diving back into Derek Jarman after many years had the opposite effect. Where I was once an Act Up boy overwhelmed by the poetry of The Garden... More

Merchants Shift To Mobile Payments [Infographic]Source: Cayan
This infographic from Merchant Warehouse provides a look at how businesses get paid in America. Cash flow is what turns a hobby into a business and payments in any form are the most necessary part of commerce. Payment methods have changed dramatically over time, moving from barter systems of the past to mobile payment systems of today.
This infographic explains how past and present payment methods have worked throughout history and where they currently stand now. It begins with the barter system, moving to commodity money, then to coins, paper dollars, credit cards, and finally mobile payments.

Wednesday was supposed to be a day off for Crew Homegrown midfielder Wil Trapp. After spending the past eight days in Puebla, Mexico at United States U-20 National Team where he also played all 90 minutes in two friendlies against Panama, a day of rest made sense for the 20-year-old MLS rookie upon returning to Columbus Tuesday evening.
"It's been a quick turnaround, but it's nice to get in with the team before we head down to Florida," Trapp said. "It's nice, I'm excited to get going.
"The layovers weren't the best and whenever you travel there's a little jetlag involved, but luckily the time difference wasn't too bad. I'm still young. I can handle it."
There was no pressure on Trapp from Technical Director Brian Bliss to attend Wednesday's training session in Lewis Center, who was surprised to see Trapp in the mix when he arrived.
"Anytime a National Team player returns from a camp and he's been taxed as they usually are with travel, training and games, you usually like to give them some time off," Bliss said. "Wil was eager to get after it and acclimate to his new teammates. He wanted to get right in there and mix it up with our guys and decided not to take that extra day off. With all the travel and the games he looked pretty sharp today."
Trapp will likely return to Puebla with the U-20s in February in preparation for the CONCACAF U-20 Championship in an effort to qualify for the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey this summer.
"It was good to get used to the altitude down there because it's going to be the same for Qualifying," Trapp said. "We accomplished what we wanted to accomplish [in team camp]. The results weren't the best, but it happens.
"I think we're doing well. We have a few injuries, but I think everyone will be healthy to qualify and move on to the World Cup."
Trapp and the Crew will travel to Brandenton, Fla. on Thursday for their first preseason camp.

Myths and Facts About Your Immune System
In this article
Fact: What you eat has an effect on your immune system.
While no single food will upgrade your immune system, poor nutrition can have a negative effect on the immune system. What counts is having a balanced diet.
Just about everyone could stand to eat more fruits and vegetables. They're rich in vitamins and minerals that are good for you. If you're thinking about getting supplements to cover your nutritional needs, check with your doctor or a dietitian. Chances are, you're getting what you need from food, unless you're on a strict diet, are pregnant, or have certain medical conditions.
Fact: Your immune system probably gets weaker as you grow older.
As you age, your body has a harder time fighting off infections. Older adults are more likely to get sick from infections. And those infections, especially flu and pneumonia, are more likely to be fatal, compared with younger people.
Why it happens isn't clear. It may be about your immune system slowing down. Or it could be partly linked to nutrition, since seniors often eat less and don't always get the nutrients they need to keep their immune systems strong. So eat lots of fruits and vegetables. It's good for you at any age.
Myth: Running a fever when you're sick weakens your immune system.
A fever can help your immune system fight infections in two ways. A higher temperature in the body speeds up the functioning of cells, including the ones that fight illness. They can respond to invading germs faster.
If you've had a fever for more than several days, or if you have fever and other symptoms such as severe vomiting, diarrhea or confusion, it's a good idea to call your doctor.
Always call a doctor for unexplained fever in infants and children, and in people with a suppressed immune system (such as those with HIV, organ transplants, or certain medications or chemotherapy).
Fact: Seasonal Allergies are caused by an abnormal response by the immune system.
Allergy symptoms happen when your immune system reacts to something harmless, like pollen, pet dander, or mold. Your body sees the allergen as an invader and attacks it, giving you a runny nose and itchy eyes.
People can inherit a tendency toward allergies; if you have allergies, your children have a greater chance of also having allergies, although they may be allergic to different things.
Allergies are treated by avoiding your allergy triggers and taking medication to control symptoms. For some people, allergy shots may be an option. Over a period of time, usually several years, allergy shots may help your immune system get used to the allergen, so that it doesn't produce the bothersome allergy symptoms.

William Gross Magee Goes Underground
William Gross Magee contacted us with details about an exciting project he's working on. What follows is the text he submitted. We will be featuring him in detail as he gets closer to the completion of this photographic endeavor.
I am doing a research project with the permission from the National Parks Service to duplicate the first underground photos in America. They were done by Charles Waldack in 1866. Waldack burned magnesium to light the cave. To compare and contrast the changes in the cave and photographic technology, I am using the latest in photographic technology including speedlights with wireless control.

LYNDON– A late official and ensuing darkness combined to cheat the North Country Field hockey team out of a chance at win number two on Friday.
"We could have had the game," said Coach Bouchard, "We dominated the second half."
With only one official at the field for the start of the game the J/V teams got the chance at an early start time, delaying the start of the varsity match.
When the game finally got under way, Molly Manning put North Country ahead just 3 minutes into the contest.
Tasha Seymor tied the game for Lyndon on a penalty stroke with just two minutes left to play in the game.
After fifteen minutes of play in the second, the refs called the game on an account of darkness, leaving the teams knotted at one.
Now, like everyone else heading to the post-season, the Falcons await the results of the pairings to find out where they will be heading to start the play-offs.

Preserving Oz — its legacy is great and powerful
With Disney's Oz the Great and Powerful taking the box-office lead upon opening last weekend, we have proof once again that the "Oz" legacy remains great and powerful. From a story written in 1900, the words of author L. Frank Baum have leapt from the pages onto the stage, from small theaters to Broadway, and to the silver screen, including the MGM film of 1939 — which has been seen worldwide more than any other film ever made — and also the earliest surviving film version of the tale, dated 1910.
In the case of the two classic film versions, they are preserved at George Eastman House, and have been for decades — the only original print of the 1910 version and the original camera negatives from the Judy Garland fave, The Wizard of Oz.
The 13-minute early screen version was influenced by a stage musical directed by Baum himself and features young Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, Lion, Toto, and a glamorous good witch and a scary bad witch … plus random characters like a costumed cow and dancing girls. The early film's influence on the Technicolor classic created three decades later are detectable, from scary-faced trees to the Scarecrow's costuming and mannerisms.
The cultural significance of the "Oz" films is obvious, but the importance of the preservation may not be so obvious. The 1910 silent film is the only existing copy in the world and its proper archiving and inspection has allowed for it to be stable enough to be digitized and shared — 103 years later — and also for the original film to be around for generations to come.
In the case of MGM's The Wizard of Oz, the camera negatives at Eastman House have been the original source material for every print, every video, every DVD, and every Blu-ray copy ever made. To make the 70th anniversary Blu-ray in 2009, Warner Bros Studio borrowed the 1939 negatives to create high-res scan, because the original film material is still the best source from which to garner the highest quality imaging and sound.
The studio did not use, mind you, the previous digital copy made a few years back, but the well-preserved YCM negatives (separate reels for yellow, cyane, and magenta, as these colors were layered to create the color-separations for the Technicolor classic).
These negatives were the actual film in the camera when the movie was shot, just feet away from Judy Garland, as she declared "There's no place like home." And Eastman House is proud to be the home for her on-screen persona for many, many years to come. Click, Click.

Experimental: Early palliative care consultation
Early palliative care consultation for ED patients with advanced cancer.
Other: Early palliative care consultation
Patients will have symptoms assessed, have goals of care discussion with family and team present, and surrogate designated, as well as coordination of care and home services.
Care as usual
Care as usual, may or may not receive palliative care consultation
Other: Care as usual
Standard care as usual which may or may not include palliative care consultation
Detailed Description:
As the population ages, the number of individual living with cancer will continue to rise, and the number of Emergency Department (ED) visits for this population will continue to increase. Cancer patients visit EDs because symptoms, such as pain or vomiting, can't be controlled at home, in an assisted living facility, or in their provider's office. The ED is often the only place that can provide the necessary treatments as well as immediate access to technologically advanced testing for those with cancer. However, palliative care (PC) services, such as relief of burdensome symptoms), attention to spiritual or social concerns, and establishing goals of care, is not standard care in the ED outside of a few medical centers. Most patients do not have well-defined goals of care, and are often subjected to painful and marginally effective tests and procedures, not because they are consistent with their goals but because it is less time-consuming than discussing other options and has less perceived legal risk. Until recently little emphasis has been placed on education, research, or guidelines for the delivery of PC services in this important setting. While emergency providers could provide some of these services themselves, knowledge and skills regarding PC as well as staffing are currently inadequate to provide comprehensive services. In addition to further decreasing days spent in the hospital and health care costs, consultation by a PC team for ED cancer patients might also reduce pain and other symptoms, aid in complex medical decision-making regarding testing and treatments, and facilitate transfer to hospice or home with visiting nurse services. To enable PC consultation for ED cancer patients, the investigators will first determine who could benefit from emergent consultation, what services they need, and what characteristics of emergency providers and hospitals are preventing them from being offered. To determine what affect PC consultation for patients with advanced cancer has on symptoms, discussions with patients and families about goals of care, and how long patients spend in the ED, the investigators will then randomly assign 200 ED cancer patients to targeted PC consultation versus usual or standard care.
