I'm 18 years old, and was wanting to join the Army. I went to MEPS and scored a 74 on my ASVAB, but when it came to my security clearance, my Juvinile record came back, and my recruiter told me it was a no go from there. I'm wanting to join the Guard now, but I'm confused because I was "adjudicated" not convicted, I have no criminal record. I know the military is governmental and they can see anything, but I was wondering if there is anything I can do? especially if it wasn't my fault.. I know you don't want to hear my whole life sob story, but long story short, I was adopted, adopted dad was abusive, CPS came multiple times (never called by me) but nothing happened, finally when I was 17 I hit him back after he punched me in the face and started choking me, It was their word against mine. (They didn't even have the same stories) in court the judge told me I could fight it, but that means i would have to deal with this for another several months, or since i was a juvenille i could plead guilty and get it over with. the only reason i did that is because he told me i would not have a record (I asked because the military has been my goal since i was a kid). please help!

Organic marijuana is illegal in Carbon County. Synthetic marijuana is not, at least not yet.
This "Frankendope" is marketed as incense and goes by the name Spice, packaged as Silver Spice, Diamond Spice, Yucatan Fire Spice, P.E.P. Spice or Fire 'n' Ice. The product ingredients list has more herbs and spices than Colonel Sanders, but nowhere on the label is there an indication that it can also be laced with a laboratory-made chemical that mimics the effect of ordinary grass but may be anywhere from 66 to 800 times more potent.
"Last week we had a kid arrested who was in pretty bad shape," said Price Police Sgt. Bill Barnes. The youth appeared to be having hallucinations, which is not standard with marijuana. "What we hear so far is that this is a psychotoxin but it is not illegal."
Barnes said he has been told that the potency of synthetic THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, the active ingredient in marijuana) has a "two-pronged effect." It can produce a high, but it can also cause hallucinations and other side effects. That assessment coincides with with a briefing on the subject by the U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service.
NCIS said that users report "feeling lightheaded, drowsy and happy." However, observers indicate that users seem "paranoid," have trouble keeping their balance and trash their rooms.
The NCIS says that German research has indicated "Spice may have adverse effects on the heart, circulation, and the nervous system, and in some cases could cause panic attacks and is potentially addictive."
"May have" is the key phrase in that quote, though. The same NCIS report also admits that there are no long-term studies of the use of Spice. The stuff is not even detectable in urinalysis. In researching this story, the Sun Advocate found statements from several agencies repeating the "no long-term studies" qualifier and citing a wide range on the potency of HU-210, which is considered the worst of the synthetic pot imitators.
Nevertheless, Spice has been banned in Sweden, Switzerland, South Korea, Chile, Germany and France as of 2009, and is under review in a handful of other countries.
The Navy itself has disciplined sailors or separated them outright under an existing code, which basically prohibits the abuse of any legal substance (glue, cough syrup) with the intent of "stupefaction of the central nervous system."
In Utah, the city of Ogden and Utah county have banned sale and possession of Spice.
Price City has not had any formal meetings or agenda items on the topic, but Price Councilwoman Jeanne McEvoy said several council members have been researching and discussing the matter informally. "We are concerned because it definitely alters the mind," she said.
At the legislature, the Judiciary, Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Interim Committee has had the synthetic marijuana on its list of items to consider.
There are hypotheses about what makes this latest designer drug potentially hallucinogenic. One is that the synthetics, as mimics of the cannabinoids in marijuana, do not contain any of the anti-psychotic properties of the organic crop. But again, there are no long-term studies to substantiate the conjecture.
Whatever research eventually determines about Spice, it will still remain a single item on a long list of drugs - legal and illegal - that plague society and law enforcement. And those drugs, according to Sgt. Barnes, are getting more powerful.
"Regular marijuana is getting more concentrated," the sergeant said. That is apparently the result of growers selectively breeding plants to satisfy demand. Cocaine, once legal in this country, has also become dangerously potent. And cocaine is being supplanted by methamphetamine, instantly addictive. "Meth is 100 percent drug," Barnes warned.

In this sequel to The Lost Gate, best-selling author Orson Scott Card continues his fantastic tale of the mages of Westil, who live in exile on Earth.
Here on Earth, Danny North is still in high school, yet he holds in his heart and mind all the stolen outselves of 13 centuries of gatemages. The Families still want to kill him if they can't control him - and they can't control him; he is far too powerful.
On Westil, Wad is now nearly powerless - he lost everything to Danny in their struggle. Even if he can survive the revenge of his enemies, he must still somehow make peace with the Gatemage Daniel North, for when Danny took that power from Loki, he also took responsibility for the Great Gates. And when he comes face-to-face with the mages who call themselves Bel and Ishtoreth, he will understand just why Loki closed the gates all those centuries ago.
©2013 Orson Scott Card (P)2013 Blackstone Audio, Inc
"Card weaves another in a chain of satisfying, teenager-pleasing fantasies…. Card has a grand old time romping around in the fields of comparative religion while letting a feud worthy of the Hatfields and the McCoys unfold, with much tongue-in-cheek humor but a touch of gore, too." (Kirkus Reviews)
"Familiarity with The Lost Gate is useful, but not essential, as Card gives readers enough background to have at least a partial understanding of the world he's created….Defined characters and a highly imaginative story. For the author's fans, a must-read." (Booklist)
Likes to listen while doing chores; likes to write reviews while he should be doing chores.
"Flashes of Great, Ok, and Bad. Overall: Meh."
What I liked:
Card manages to put together a fairly interesting structure of magic and how that creates the major conflict that drives the story. His exploration of the way magic works and the way that the characters discover it is quite interesting. His take on ancient pantheons as magic-wielding aliens come to earth is also insightful, forcing the reader to completely shift her thinking. The reader encounters plenty of unexpected actions and circumstances and that is all to the good. The book is unpredictable and that is enough to keep you listening.
The Ok:
The main character, Danny, is a retooling of the "super-powered teenager trying to lead a normal life" (as in My Secret Identity, Smallville, etc.) genre. Which goes ok, maybe even a little bit better than average with Danny's well-developed intellect, but complete ignorance of actual teenage interaction making for very appropriate awkwardness. Unfortunately, the high school friends he interacts with feel like they're made of cardboard. They seem developed only just enough that the story can move forward.
Also Wad's story line of protecting his world from incoming mages and looking for a way to get revenge on his former lover is not bad. Not great, but not bad; interesting, but haphazard. It's one notch above only existing to be the reflection of Danny's own magical discovery.
If the following things bother you, steer clear:
Rudniki should not be narrating this book. He has a less than versatile deep bass voice. This isn't particularly ideal for a coming of age novel where many of the characters are youths. Not to say that his voice is not pleasant, he just doesn't have the range to characterize teenagers and women. Rankin has a better range, but doesn't make bold characterizations.
This book bogs down around the various characters' banter. It is not witty, insightful, or entertaining. It will make you want to skip portions.
Some of the book's portrayal of teenagers is dissonant. I am not an expert on teenagers, and maybe some do think and talk the way they do in the book, but there are some things I think are a bit too out there. A teenage girl being loaded up on hormones, emotional and desirous of sex, I get. But one that needs her boyfriend's seed in her uterus and expresses it to him in those terms? The girls in the book are generally focused on procreation. Every time it comes up (often enough) you think, "seriously?"
Avid listener of Scifi and Fantasy. I've found so many great books with the help of member reviews. Hopefully I can return the favor.
"Series Has Lost Its Way..."
I don't know what happened to this story. I really enjoyed The Lost Gate and anxiously awaited book 2. Unfortunately The Gate Thief was a major let down.
This book really makes me wonder if OSC skipped over his teen years because it seems like he has no idea what teenagers are like. It's not as if his characters act like adults as some bad YA authors' protagonists do, they don't really act like any human being I've ever met. It's as if an android tried to write about human emotions based off of observations alone.
Danny North is obsessed with kissing girls, but also has some weird sexual repression/female purity issues going on. It doesn't help that all the teen girls in his life are walking wombs in waiting. They don't just want to have sex, they desperately want to get pregnant. Granted I'm no expert on the sex drives of teen girls, but I've never seen a single girl act like the girls in this novel do. It's just really weird, not exactly creepy just mind bogglingly odd and not normal. I don't know if he has strong religious beliefs about sex for procreation only that forces him to phrase teen sexual desire in this manner, but it's just strange and divorced from reality. To make it worse, the story spends an inordinately large amount of time exploring these feelings. It's true teens spend an inordinately large amount of time thinking about and discussing sex/relationships, but not like this.
Aside from poor representation of teen life, the rest of the story is lack luster compared to The Lost Gate. I lost interest in caring about Danny, Wad/Loki, and their version of the universe. The story does progress well enough, and OSC still knows how to tell a story with proper pacing. I just found myself struggling even to want the good characters to succeed. There were none of the endearing shenanigans of The Lost Gate(ie the Walmart scene). They talk about Danny being a trickster, but he doesn't do anything deserving of that title.
This story wasn't a wasted credit. The setting and magic system are interesting and fresh enough to keep me entertained. However I will have to carefully read reviews of book 3 before I decide to buy it.
Tangential, eclectic, avid listener... favorite book is the one currently in ear.
"Where is the magic?"
I grant that the first few minutes had my mouth watering to get back into this book. However, like the second book of Ruins I was left dissapointed. OSC books always have that teenage boy "moments of vulgarity." but they are usually easy to overlook. This one not so easy... I also felt like the plot really didn't go anywhere in the book, like you could skip to three and not miss much from two. OSC gives an interview at the end, talking about how hard it is to build the world and do the set up and have the plot move along at the same time. It almost felt like an apology for the book. Like I felt about Ruins, I'd probably wait to read this book until book three comes out and then read them together, for this alone didn't satisfy me like book one did.
"The more I listened to it the less I liked it."
The story did not flow very well, it was like each chapter was written by a different person who only loosely followed what happened in the previous chapters
The book is generally good but the thing i didn't like about it is the constant talk of 16yr olds wanting babies put their stomach or wanting to avoid babies put in their stomach. It comes across as very weird and disconcerting. The other thing is that there are a few tasteless descriptions eg someone says to another you look hungrier than a Jew in a concentration camp... really?? Because this book isn't meant to be a 'dark' book some conversations between charecters are in poor taste. Other than those two complaints, the book is really easy to follow and has an exciting storyline that will keep you hooked.
"Good story, not well paced- needed more editing"
I would not recommend this book unless it was on a great sale, as it was a few days ago. It is a good story, but the author gets bogged down over and over again discussing motives and inner narrative that doesn't advance the story that the book is rather tedious. The performers do a good job with the material- it would be worse reading it in paper form. It needed to be cut in half in terms of the content that is there, and more plot needs to be added. All in all, the editor dropped the ball on this book.
Yes- I love a lot of his other books, from Enchantment to Ender's Game. This one is weak tea in comparison.
I have read everything Card has written, this book is pure formula. I hope it isn't a warning bell of things to come. The performance was great, the book was not.
Probably - because he has written well in the past and I hope he will again.
I enjoyed the books beginning - the first two chapters drew you in. After that, it became predictable.
Lots of books lots of time. I love all things Star Wars and fantasy. The Bartimaeus trilogy (or quad) maybe the perfect series. Jonathan Stroud and Douglas Adams are my heroes.
"Not Ender"
To a friend, no because I keep my nerdery close to the vest. But to a fantasy fan, YES!
I like the coolness of Stone. He's a nice guy with a consistent personality. I also like Wad/Loki. Loki is a tragic, smart, awful creature...
When Danny drops the goons in the ocean. It was a glimpse into his potential abuse of power. I liked the emergence and abruptness of the act.
Yep, I bing listen when I have been waiting for the story to continue.
Whatever you think of OSC, his offbeat politics, etc. He's a great story teller. This series is well worth a listen.
"bearable to average"
the guy has written some amazing stories - I guess its hard to live up to your own best work - this certainly doesn't.
He seems to be losing the plot (in every way) between his first and second books - where the characters in the second books of his two latest series, are almost starting from scratch and often very different from the development in his first books. The second installment in the Pathfinder series really is a trainwreck, this isn't that bad, but he is certainly giving us a filler after doing a good job in the first book in the mithermage series.
Stefan Rudnicki is a great performer - Emily is ok, and next to stefan, comes across quite weak.
This book would be 1/3 the size if you cut out the unnecessary drivel - which, considering Orson boasts about only putting in dialogue that moves the story forward, is a big let down.
Orson really needs to sit down and create the entire story arc in one go, then go and write installments that fit to the arc - he is losing the plot between instalments.
I really hope this great writer can deliver to his earlier standard and doesn't finish his writing career slowly sputtering out
I'm actually a day old tart, filled with maple custard. Perhaps, this reads as a rational introduction to others, and you are deliberately misreading it, because, come on, maple custard.
"He didn't even turn into a golden swan."
I agree with the reviews that are put off by the infatuation of teenage pregnancy. Orson Scott Card's books often come across as a pedantically cyclical read, so when the topic get's brought up, suddenly all the teenage girls in the story are obsessed with it in the same very disturbing and stupefied way. Grabbing at men's waists and demanding men 'put their baby inside me,' was an approach my mother must have missed. It's incredibly insulting to young women that this is how their teenage interests are portrayed. Really think about your teenage experience, and try to count on one hand the number of girls in your school, who would do this, and throw themselves at boys like this.
The dialogue is all in the same kidney, this adds to the cycling feeling of the book. It could almost be one person arguing with them self. The sentence structure, word usage, lines of thought, etc. cohere so that there are some golden opportunities for OSC's brand of humor, but it's not often believable that you are listening to several people talk, just one man's interpretation of a conversation.
OSC tackles Christianity, and a lot of other religions, legends, and myths, in this book. I'm not religious, but if you are, fair warning, he reinterprets the big J into his canon. Neil Gaiman did this in American Gods, then went back and edited him out, and it probably saved him some angry readers.
Stefan Rudnicki has a super creaky deep voice, like someone is opening and shutting an old door. Emily Rankin tried to match his voice in this book, which made her voice croak and crack. And to get what they are saying, you can't just dim the volume until you can just barely hear the words. The croaking is still loud before the words fuzz out. It's okay in the short term, but after a few hours it starts to hurt. When I took my ear buds out, I couldn't hear all that well for a few days.
The storyline is original. The plot twists aren't too severe. The book ambles, but it stays pretty cut and dry sequential. It'll be great for a solid OSC fan, but it's not Ender's Game.
"Not as good but enjoyable"
This book was not equal to the first. It didn't gel quite as well for me but never the less I thoroughly enjoyed listening. I have become accustomed to the male readers voice which was less grating and that certainly helped. I see what other people are saying about the whole teen pregnancy vibe going on, it's a little weird but it doesn't take from the rest of the story of you don't fixate on it, and it certainly isn't one of the main themes so I don't see why you should. I will defiantly be listening to and reading the third and final part of this series.

Minnesota 101, Clippers 87
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sun, 01/28/07, 08:06am:
But here we are at 6:20 in the 4th, with the Clippers leading 81-80. An outline of the final six minutes or so:
- Corey, on the right wing, trying to kick it back to Cassell, throws it into the backcourt. Just when you think Maggette has fully exhausted his eclectic range of turnovers, he develops something new.
[1 turnover]
- Elton draws a foul by pushing off Garnett way out on the wing. For all the awful officiating tonight, they got this one right.
[2 turnovers]
- The Clippers space the floor nicely on this possession, and Minnesota is rotating well - one of the few instances in the game in which both squads are playing quality basketball. Brand is just off the right block. When Livingston penetrates, Mark Blount - who had rotated onto Elton - collapses on Shaun. Shaun deftly finds EB for a shot Elton generally hits. Not this time.
[2 turnovers, 0-1 Brand]
- Again, nice spacing. When James rotates back onto Shaun, leaving Corey alone way out on the wing, Corey moves inside, cutting quickly into the paint. He gets a good entry pass from Cassell, then does his thing, earning a trip to the line. It's that old chestnut that, when a guy moves off the ball, good things happen.
[2 turnovers, 0-1 Brand, 1-1 Maggette[3]]
- In transition, Cassell gets it ahead to Maggette on the left side. Corey dribbles past Hassell, gets into the lane and puts up an off-balanced jumper from about 13 feet.
[2 turnovers, 1-2 Maggette, 0-1 Brand]
- Down nine now, the Clips run a S/R up top from Brand for Cassell. When Blount leaves Brand to double-team the penetrating Cassell, Sam dishes back over to Brand. This is the kind of set that we beg the Clippers to do more of. Another open jumper from the right side[4] from Brand. Another miss.
[2 turnovers, 1-2 Maggette, 0-2 Brand]
- An awful entry pass from Mobley into Brand. Off EB, out of bounds.
[3 turnovers, 1-2 Maggette, 0-2 Brand]
- Moving pick by Brand out on the right wing. Let's give the Clippers this - they're turnover it over quickly, not allowing too much time to run off the clock.
[4 turnovers, 1-2 Maggette, 0-2 Brand]
- Maggette posts on the right block against Hassell. Mobley gets the ball into Corey. Maggette spins baseline, heaves up a fall-back 16-foot jumper. No good, but Brand grabs the rebound and kicks it out to Thomas. His 3FGA is no good, but Maggette secures the rebound on the weak side glass. He goes back up with it and earns another trip to the line.
[4 turnovers, 2-4 Maggette, 0-2 Brand, 0-1 Thomas]
- Down 11, Shaun doesn't waste any time. He quickly backs James down and hits the turnaround 11 footer.
[4 turnovers, 2-4 Maggette, 0-2 Brand, 1-1 Livingston, 0-1 Thomas]
At this point, we're under a minute and the Clips still trail by 11. Thomas throws up another 3FGA, and, appropriately, Cassell turns it over the final seconds.
If you take out the two offensive rebounds that yielded a Thomas shot, and a Maggette trip to the line, it looks like this:
- Maggette - 3
- Brand - 2
- Livingston - 1
The Clippers get the shots they want. Obviously, it's easier to spread the shots around when you don't turn the ball over five times in the final six minutes. But Elton gets two good shots; Maggette's aren't as smart, but he's done worse. When you let your opponent score almost every time down, it's hard to get anything in transition, and you end up having to grind in the halfcourt. So you've got that. On top of which, it's tough to get quick shots, so it's harder to eat into the lead.
The Clippers give back their win in Minneapolis and tonight play at Seattle against one of the NBA's worst defensive teams in recent memory. Because the Sonics work almost everything on the perimeter, the Clips will have to rotate quickly and proficiently - something they've been doing a little better in recent weeks.
[1]You know those games when you almost root against your team just so you can express your disappointment and ire at the way they're playing? Tonight was one of those games.
[2] To be fair, the Clips went to the line 7,420 times. NBA Basketball - it's fan-tastic!
[3] For the sake of this exercise, let's call a 2-2 trip to the line 1-1. A trip to the line that yields a 1-2, is worth .5 FGs. I know it sounds confusing, but bear with me because I'm trying to break down the Clips' shot selections, not so much their proficiency from the field.
[4] Interesting that Brand sets up right again. Just interesting, that's all.

Wilpons are 'exploring' possibility of strategic partnership
According to the New York Times, a person involved in the Madoff cases said it was possible that lawyers could seek as much as $1 billion from Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz, since they are considered "net winners" in Madoff's Ponzi scheme.
"I think he has a very serious problem," the source said of Wilpon. "If that's true, he might have to sell the Mets."
Of course, as @antiglib pointed out to me on Twitter, "Remember, they can seek out any figure they want. Could ask for $3 billion. Doesn't mean Wilpons have it or trustee gets it."
Original Post at 12:25 pm:
According to Michele Steele from Bloomberg Sports, "The Wilpons say team may add one or more "strategic partners,'" though Sterling will continue to be the primary owner of the team.
Here is the official press release, on Mets.com – READ IT!
The key word here is: 'Exploring.' It's not like they've already taken on a partner, but that they're looking in to what it means and – I assume – how that can keep them supporting the baseball team – given how it needs to be supported in the New York market – while considering the 'air of uncertainty' dealing with the Maddoff situation.
To most fans, I don't think this is terribly surprising, though I don't know how any of us can truly qualify that opinion. Nevertheless, from a business point of view, as it stands, the Mets are one of the few sports organizations to still have one family own so much of the team. For instance, the Steinbrenners own around 70 % of the Yankees. Meanwhile, the Wilpon family owns like 99 % of the Mets, which, in this day and age of big corporations and media conglomerates, is actually pretty rare. So, the idea of bringing on a strategic partner shouldn't be that big of a change.
In the end, to me, as a fan, this isn't that big of a deal, simply because the big problem for the Mets these last few years hasn't been how much money they've spent, it's been how they've spent it. This news today still does nothing to fix that, nor does it make David Wright strike out less, or make Johan Santana come back from injury quicker. That said, it's interesting, and something obviously worth keeping an eye on.
Updated at 1:58 pm:
Craig Calcaterra has a thought-provoking post up at NBC's Hardball Talk, in which he figures, based on what happened with the Texas Rangers, the Wilpons are likely to get an offer they can't refuse.
Updated at 1:35 pm:
Updated at 1:35 pm:
Mike Francesa said on WFAN that he has made multiple attempts to get Jeff Wilpon on as a guest to talk about this, as soon as the conference call is over, adding:
"The Mets have stated they will NOT sell the team under any circumstances. I have asked, 'Even if you get blown away with an offer?' They say they will NOT sell the team. That's what they're saying right now. Does that change? I don't know. If somebody offers them a fortune, who knows. They say the team is not in play, they're just looking for an infusion of capital and looking for a partner. Why would a minority partner come in under those grounds? Two fold: 1) To get their foot in the door. … the other thing is, maybe if you come in and buy 10, 20 %, you could get a right-of-first-of-refusal so if the team is ever sold it's yours at the right price. Is that possible? I don't know."

Mises on women and feminism
This whole debate recently led Mike Konczal, a blogger at the Roosevelt Institute, back to Ludwig von Mises' classic 1922 text Socialism. Mises was a pioneering economist of the Austrian School, whose political writings have inspired multiple generations of libertarian activists in the US and elsewhere.
Obama birth control plan angers church
Mike took a special interest in the fourth chapter of Socialism, "The Social Order and the Family", in which Mises has some retrograde things to say about women and feminism. This led Mike to conclude - prematurely, it turns out - that Mises was against birth control, which he wasn't, but as I made clear in the comments thread to Mike's post, Mike's larger point - that Mises was neither in favour of women's sexual autonomy nor was he in favour of other kinds of autonomy that would free women from the dominion of their husbands - still stands.
All this back and forth about the text prompted Brian Doherty, author of a wonderful History of Libertarianism, to waspishly comment that, well, who really cares what Mises may or may not have thought about women and birth control. Libertarians care about liberty; all the rest is commentary.
Mises does go on to address "natural barriers" that socialists want to overturn, and doubtless some of his own personal opinions about what those natural barriers might be would differ from moderns, liberal or conservative, which is exactly why [Konczal's] entire implied point doesn't make any sense to begin with.
Those concerns are far more matters of opinion, not political philosophy, and in no sense should bind even those who have sworn fealty to Mises' general views on economics and liberty.
(For example, I'm quite the Misesian in most questions of politics and economics, but can imagine an intelligent conservative argument that the "rationalisation of the sexual passions" is in some sense harmed by birth control, though not in the specific procreational sense he is addressing specifically.)
But let's address the larger point, if there is one, besides that atop all of our heads for even talking about this: That polemical points can rightly be earned laying some judgment, whether real or imagined, of an intellectual founding father or influence on a political movement or tendency on to the backs of its younger followers - either to mock them or to insist that, no, this is really what their intellectual mission is: not to promote liberty, but to work for whatever Ludwig Von Mises liked or didn't like.
It is interesting, for those interested in intellectual history, that Mises saw free love as part of some larger socialist mission to destroy the family. But for the libertarian the relevant question is, is this voluntary or not, does this infringe on anyone's life, liberty, or property or not? "Anything that's peaceful," baby, as Leonard Read, one of Mises' great popular disciples in America, wrote.
Thus, there's a libertarian case to be made against forcing anyone to cover any specific medical care, birth control or whatever, in the insurance deals they make with their clients. But it has nothing to do with whether Ludwig von Mises was comfortable with free love, or birth control, or with catheters, or blood transfusions, or any other specific medical procedure that might or might not become a political controversy when the government tried to force people to sell insurance only on the condition that that insurance cover that procedure or medication's use.
Intellectual histories of libertarianism
Let's set aside the strangeness of someone who's written - for what were obviously more than antiquarian reasons - one of the best intellectual histories of libertarianism, in which Mises plays a not insignificant role, telling us that intellectual history, and Mises' role in it, doesn't much matter.
"Libertarianism is not about liberty at all, or at least not about liberty for everyone. In fact, it's the opposite."
Let's also set aside Doherty's declaration by fiat that Mises' views on women are just "matters of opinion", which can be discarded as so much ancient prejudice, rather than genuine "political philosophy".
(This chapter on Robert Nozick in Susan Okin's Justice, Gender, and the Family should make any reasonably literate political writer leery of the notion that a libertarian's views on women are somehow contingent or incidental and separable from their larger worldview. In Mises' case, it's doubly important to remember that he saw his chapter on women as one part of his campaign against socialism, an effort in which he styled himself the lonely leader of a small, heterodox band.
Socialism is the watchword and the catchword of our day. The socialist idea dominates the modern spirit. The masses prove of it. It expresses the thoughts and feelings of all; it has set its seal upon our time. When history comes to tell our story it will write above the chapter "The Epoch of Socialism".
Mises did not think his views on women were refractions of the age; he thought they were the dissonant wisdom of someone who had thought long and hard, against the dominant view, about such issues. And given that many socialists were making feminist arguments and gaining ground across Europe - Remember Red Vienna? It wasn't all economics, you know - I'm not sure Mises was entirely wrong in his self-understanding.)
The real reason Mises' arguments about women are so relevant, it seems to me, is that in the course of making them, he reveals something larger about the libertarian worldview: Libertarianism is not about liberty at all, or at least not about liberty for everyone. In fact, it's the opposite.
Here's Mises describing the socialist programme of "free love":
Free love is the socialists' radical solution for sexual problems. The socialistic society abolishes the economic dependence of woman which results from the fact that woman is dependent on the income of her husband. Man and woman have the same economic rights and the same duties, as far as motherhood does not demand special consideration for the women.
Public funds provide for the maintenance and education of the children, which are no longer the affairs of the parents but of society. Thus the relations between the sexes are no longer influenced by social and economic conditions… The family disappears and society is confronted with separate individuals only. Choice in love becomes completely free.
Paternalistic assumptions
Sounds like a libertarian paradise, right? Society is dissolved into atomistic individuals, obstacles to our free choices are removed, everyone has the same rights and duties. But Mises is not celebrating this ideal; he's criticising it. Not because it makes people unfree, but because it makes people - specifically, women - free. The problem with liberating women from the constraints of "social and economic conditions" is that... women are liberated from the constraints of social and economic conditions.
Obama revises birth control policy amid backlash
Now Doherty will reply, well, that's just Mises' view of feminism, who cares, we libertarians stand for freedom. But the underlying logic of Mises' argument - in which the redistributive state is criticised not for making men and women slaves or equals but for making them free - cannot be so easily contained.
It can easily be applied to other realms of social policy - labour unions, universal healthcare, robust public schools, unemployment benefits, and the like, which the left has always seen as the vital prerequisites of universal freedom - suggesting that the real target of the libertarian critique may be the proposition that Mises articulates here so well: That all men - not just the rich or the well born - and all women will in fact be liberated from the constraints of their "social and economic conditions".
What's more, Mises' views haven't gone away.
Responding to legislative proposal in Virginia that would have required all women seeking an abortion to get an ultrasound - as Slate writer Dahlia Lithwick pointed out, because most abortions occur in the first 12 weeks of a pregnancy, most of the women affected by this bill would be forced to have a probe stuck up their vaginas, as that's how ultrasounds in the first trimester are done - libertarian luminary Tyler Cowen tweeted the following: All of a sudden requiring consumers to be informed is extremely unpopular on the "pro-regulation side".
Was Cowen serious? Hard to say. If he was, he's radically uninformed about the basic facts of biology and women. It's not like women don't know what's going on inside of their uteruses; they are, after all, getting an abortion. Or perhaps, Cowen, like many in the anti-abortion movement, thinks women don't know what they're doing when they abort their foetuses. Either way, it was a paternalistic comment.
But ah, my libertarian friends will say, that's the point - we on the left make similar paternalistic assumptions about consumers all the time. Cowen's just making a joke to point out our hypocrisy.
"The notion 'once-probed, always-probed' sounds an awful lot like the notion of implicit sexual consent that dates back to the 18th century and that justified marital rape in this country until the 1980s."
But if that's the joke, it doesn't quite work. Even if we assume that informing consumers is the purpose of the legislation - all the evidence, as Lithwick points out, suggests that women don't need the information and their choices influenced by the information when they get it - there's the tricky matter of the "instruments": Is the left really in the business of forcing consumers to get information by sticking probes up their various orifices?
'Once-probed, always-probed'
Whether he was serious or not, Cowen's tweet suggests that when it comes to the specifics of women's autonomy - not generic autonomy, but women's autonomy - he doesn't quite get it. And in not getting it, he shows that his is not a project of universal liberty. (Also check out Scott Lemieux's take on libertarian blogger Megan McArdle; you'll find a similar pattern.)
One final note on this Virginia legislation and how it fits with a larger pattern on the right. As Lithwick noted in her piece:
During the floor debate on Tuesday, Delegate C Todd Gilbert announced that "in the vast majority of these cases, these [abortions] are matters of lifestyle convenience." (He has since apologised.) Virginia Democrat Delegate David Englin, who opposes the bill, has said Gilbert's statement "is in line with previous Republican comments on the issue", recalling one conversation with a GOP lawmaker who told him that women had already made the decision to be "vaginally penetrated when they got pregnant". (I confirmed with Englin that this quote was accurate.)
The notion "once-probed, always-probed" sounds an awful lot like the notion of implicit sexual consent that dates back to the 18th century and that justified marital rape in this country until the 1980s. As I write in The Reactionary Mind:
Until 1980, for example, it was legal in every state in the union for a husband to rape his wife. The justification for this dates back to a 1736 treatise by English jurist Matthew Hale. When a woman marries, Hale argued, she implicitly agrees to give "up herself in this kind [sexually] unto her husband". Hers is a tacit, if unknowing, consent "which she cannot retract" for the duration of their union. Having once said yes, she can never say no.
As late as 1957 - during the era of the Warren Court - a standard legal treatise could state, "A man does not commit rape by having sexual intercourse with his lawful wife, even if he does so by force and against her will". If a woman (or man) tried to write into the marriage contract a requirement that express consent had to be given in order for sex to proceed, judges were bound by common law to ignore or override it.
Implicit consent was a structural feature of the contract that neither party could alter. With the exit option of divorce not widely available until the second half of the twentieth century, the marriage contract doomed women to be the sexual servants of their husbands.
Resonances like these are why I sometimes suggest that modern conservatism is just a neoliberal gloss on medieval domination.

Can I Survive Hodgkin Disease? What Is My Prognosis?
A prognosis is a statement about the prospect of surviving and recovering from a disease. It may sound hard to ask, "Can I survive this?" But it's a question most people have when they learn they have Hodgkin disease. Unfortunately, there isn't an easy answer.
Your chance of recovery depends on these things:
Type and location of the Hodgkin disease
Stage of the disease
Whether or not you have certain symptoms (known as 'B symptoms')
Size of the tumor (whether it is bulky or not)
Your age (younger people tend to do better)
Your gender (female patients tend to have better outcomes)
Results of certain blood tests
Your general health
How your disease responds to treatment
Before discussing your prognosis with you, your doctor will consider all the things that could affect your disease and treatment. Your doctor will then predict what seems likely to happen. To do that, the doctor will look at what researchers have found out over many years about thousands of people with cancer. When possible, the doctor will use statistics for groups of people whose situations are most like yours to make a prediction.
If your Hodgkin disease is likely to respond well to treatment, your doctor will say you have a favorable prognosis. If the Hodgkin disease is likely to be hard to control, your prognosis may be unfavorable. It is important to keep in mind, though, that a prognosis states what is probable. It is not a prediction of what will happen. No doctor can be absolutely certain about the outcome.
Some people find it easier to cope when they know their prognosis and the statistics for how well a treatment might work. Other people find statistical information confusing and frightening. Or they might think it is too general to be useful. The doctor who is most familiar with your situation is in the best position to discuss your prognosis with you and explain what the statistics may mean for you. At the same time, you should keep in mind that a person's prognosis may change. A favorable prognosis can change if the cancer progresses. An unfavorable one can change if treatment is successful. The decision to ask about your prognosis is a personal one. It is up to you to decide how much you want to know.
What does the 5-year survival rate for Hodgkin disease mean?
Survival rates show the percentage of people who live for a specific length of time after being told they have Hodgkin disease. The rates are specific to people with a certain stage of Hodgkin disease. Often, statistics refer to the 5-year survival rate. That's the percentage of people who live at least 5 years after diagnosis. The 5-year rate includes people who:
Are free of disease
Have few or no signs or symptoms of the disease
Are being treated for the disease
Here are the 5-year survival rates based on the stage of Hodgkin disease, according to the American Cancer Society:
For stage I and II Hodgkin disease, the 5-year survival rate is about 90%.
For stage III disease, the 5-year survival rate is about 80%.
For stage IV disease, the 5-year survival rate is about 65%.
These numbers are adjusted to account for the fact that some people may die of causes other than Hodgkin disease. As noted above, factors other than the stage of the disease can also affect your prognosis.
Because the statistics we have for 5-year rates are based on people whose doctors diagnosed and treated them more than 5 years ago, it's possible that the outlook could be better today. Recently diagnosed people often have a better outlook because of improvements in treatment. (According to the ACS, the 10-year survival rate for Hodgkin disease is about 80%.)
Survival rates are based on large groups of people. They cannot be used to predict what will happen to a particular person. No two people are exactly alike, and treatment and responses to treatment vary greatly.

Policies for using materials in Special Collections & Archives
The Special Collections & Archives reading room is for materials that do not circulate because of their rarity, fragility or unusual format. Both staff and users have the obligation of preserving these materials for future use. Persons using Special Collections & Archives materials must abide by these guidelines for the protection of the materials. Please leave coats, bags, knapsacks, briefcases and other possessions not essential to your work in the coat closet or lockers. Sign in on the Daily Register of Researchers.
Obtaining materials
Materials in the department's care are brought to users by staff members; this is not a self-service or browsing department, except for reference works. All materials must be used in Special Collections and in many cases, they must be requested in advance. Fill out the library's 2-part request form for printed books and single items; discuss archival or uncataloged materials needs with the staff. Non-Wesleyan users must also fill out a User Registration Form and show photo identification.
About 90% of the rare books are included in CALEB, Wesleyan's online catalog. In addition, some of the archival collections have online finding aids on the SC&A website. We also have various card files and other finding aids. Please feel free to consult the staff about your informational needs or about any problems or difficulties you have in making use of Special Collections & Archives materials.
All materials should be handled with extra care:
- Use pencils only; no ballpoints or fountain pens, please.
- Your hands should be clean; preferably freshly washed.
- Keep materials flat on a reading table or in a foam cradle. Do not lean on them, mark them, or take notes on top of them.
- Turn pages or leaves gently.
- Keep any loose material in the order in which you find it.
- Report any mis-arrangements, mutilations or unopened leaves.
Materials are issued for the exclusive use of the person requesting them. Drinking, eating, chewing gum, and smoking are not permitted in the Special Collections area.
When you leave, please return your materials to a staff member. Let us know whether you have finished using them. If not, we will keep them on hold for as long as you request. For the security of our materials, we reserve the right to examine your notes or personal property upon departure.
Reproductions (Photocopies)
Requests should be made in writing on the Request for Reproduction form. Markers are available for keeping your place. Copies will be made as expeditiously as possible within the context of other departmental operations, subject to the needs noted below.
Photocopying is ordinarily done for you by staff members, usually within one or two working days of the request submission. The charge for Wesleyan community members is .10 per copy. The fee for non-community members is .50 per copy. The fee for off-campus orders above 10 pages is .50 per copy plus 3.50 for shipping.
Digital Scans
Digital scans may be made of materials that will not be harmed in the scanning process. The fee for digital scanning is $2.00 per image for Wesleyan community members and $5.00 per image for non-community members. If images cannot be transferred electronically, there is a charge of $2.00 to burn items to a CD.
Photographic reproductions are done outside the library. Staff will make special arrangements with fees arranged depending on the material and the process. The usual fee for an 8"x10" glossy black & white print is $10 for a new photograph and $5 for a reproduction from an existing negative.
The library may refuse requests for reproduction when the condition of the original will not permit it or when the originals were received with gift, purchase or legal restrictions on reproduction. The library may limit the number of copies made at any one time or for any one user because of limitations of staff or facilities. The library reserves the right to retain negatives made in producing copies.
Personal Digital Camera Policy
Use of personal digital cameras is permitted in the reading room on a case-by-case basis. Images of materials photographed in the reading room should not be used for publication or on a website without permission from the Head of Special Collections.
Items to be photographed must be examined by the staff of Special Collections and evaluated for physical condition, copyright issues, and donor restrictions. The staff of Special Collections reserves the right to deny any request for reproduction that may damage the material to be copied or may constitute a violation of copyright law.
Once approved, an appointment will be made for the researcher to take the digital photo in the presence of a Special Collections staff member. The staff member will provide a target sheet that must be photographed with each digital image to identify the material as being housed in Special Collections & Archives at Wesleyan University.
Access to manuscripts and other original materials
Permission to examine original materials will be granted to researchers for specific purposes, upon completion of a user registration form and an introductory interview with a librarian. This permission is dependent upon the materials, the amount of processing, in some cases the staffing available, and any restrictions imposed by donors or depositors. We recommend that you contact us in advance. Permission to consult does not carry with it permission to publish, which must be requested separately in writing.
Copyright and other laws
Users of materials at Wesleyan accept full legal responsibility for observing the copyright law, as well as the laws of libel and invasion of privacy and property rights.

Comments about Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra CS WP Shoe (Women's):
Love these shoes! I got these as a gift, probably would not have purchased them otherwise, and boy oh boy are they awesome. They have a big toe box, which I had never experienced and absolutely love! It keeps my toes from getting smushed when running down hills. They are completely waterproof, I've been running through all sorts of streams and can't even tell! However, once the water comes over the top and seeps in that way they squish until they dry out (and with the goretex that takes a while). My only negative thing to say about these shoes is that they do squeak a little bit, but I've only noticed it the one time I wore them to work and was walking down a quiet hall. Other than that, they are superb. I feel very secure and sturdy, great ankle support, and I love the lacing (though most trail runners are laced the same way). These shoes have even stood up to puppy chewing!
