The Magazine
Ordinary Art
A new appreciation for the maestro of the commonplace.
Jul 27, 2009, Vol. 14, No. 42 • By MAUREEN MULLARKEY
To emphasize the poignance, two spice packets lie chastely side by side in the foreground, each twisted at the ends to suggest heads and feet. Or tail feathers. One lifeless pairing echoes another. On one level, Still Life with Fish, Bread, and a Knife (c. 1772) is a plainspoken inventory of the ingredients for a meatless Lenten meal. But in the land of Cervantes, luxuriantly devoted to soldiering, the position of that shining sea bream insinuates a fallen guerrero. Propped improbably on its tail, atop a knife and slumped against an overturned soup pot, the fish--mailed in lustrous scales--impersonates a wounded knight. The knife handle is visible on the fish's left; the blade shows on the right, a charade of impalement. A pink fin, dark red in shadow, mimics a bloody gash. The ensemble is a teasing blend of cultural emblem with genuine feeling for the thing-in-itself.
The vanitas theme threads through the exhibition just as it does through the history of still life. Meléndez's work is a theater of delight in organic form--that heart-stopping cauliflower! a bliss of figs!--but the shadow of memento mori passes over it nonetheless. References to mortality peek from behind the veil of natural description. What is that shattered watermelon, glistening red flesh spilling onto the ground of a darkling landscape, if not an intimation of death on the run? Elsewhere, decay is not far off in bruised, overripe apples and pears. The pity of maturation.
Sly tension between depiction and suggestion exists in several end-of-dinner motifs that include narrow boxes of sweets. Pictorially, these rectangular forms register lighting effects and provide counterpoint to rounded volumes. They also function metaphorically: Made of rough scrap wood, they resemble stacks of coffins. Visible at the corner of one is a bit of wrapper. A hint of winding cloth? Instead of the customary skull, worm, or hourglass, Meléndez features--in miniature--the plain pine box that beckons us all.
Viewed from the narrow angle of our own era, Luis Meléndez exhibits certain pictorial concerns similar to modernist ones. Here are those spatial ambiguities that our own eyes are conditioned to admire. (Is there really room for that bulk on such a narrow shelf?) Eager to show Meléndez in a modern light, the exhibition catalogue flourishes a Morandi still life for comparison. Yet it is precisely Meléndez's distance from modernity that is arresting. His sensibility thrived on the continuity of cultural memory. He worked, as did his contemporaries, in anticipation of discernible meaning and trustful of its reception. His produce medleys are loyal to the seasons; and his unifying theme of the four elements (earth, air, fire, water) assumes an audience whose cultural field extended back, however fitfully, to Empedocles.
Meléndez's repertory of enduring forms--the spoon, jar, bowl, and beaker, together with pantry stuffs--is still with us, triumphant over generational time. In the rhythms and transmitted rituals of meal preparation lies the divide between brute existence and civilized life. So much depends on fresh cauliflower and a loaf of bread.

Interaction Happens: Prototyping Techniques
See if this situation rigs a bell: a manager tells you to build
a proof of concept to test the look and feel of a new
application. You hack for a week straight, day and night, producing
some of the ugliest code you have ever seen to make the Big Demo.
After all of your hacking, the meeting is a huge success and
everyone loves your prototype. Then someone asks you how long until
the application is deployed. You respond with a reasonably worked
estimate of six to nine months. The feeling in the room quickly
changes like someone just stopped the music in a bad 80s show. No
one understands why its going to take nine months to build
something that they already see in front of them. No one is
happy anymore. Uh-oh.
What's really going on in this story is full-fledged,
high-fidelity prototyping (don't worry, I'll explain what the "high
fidelity" means in a bit). This approach to prototyping has some
dangers that were not mitigated and led to potentially dangerous
This article takes a high-level survey of some of the standard
prototyping methods. You'll learn a little about each of the
methods; where they work, and where they don't. Wherever possible,
I'll embellish this with examples of the different prototyping
methods, from my experience and others'.
Why Are You Prototyping?
First, it helps to figure out why you are prototyping
in the first place. You'll be more informed when choosing a
prototyping method the more you know about why you're prototyping.
Here are a few popular reasons as example (your actual reasons will
- Getting "buy-in" from stakeholders.
- Helping business analysts gather requirements.
- Running a usability test before full production.
- Testing an architecture.
- Testing a series of interaction widgets (a new text field, for
- Designing by tinkering with working code.
- Resolving flow issues when all you have are some screenshots of
what your application is supposed to look like.
Keep in mind that this article focuses on interaction design in
prototyping. So although testing an overall system architecture
code is a reasonable thing to do, we'll call that more of a
proof of concept rather than a prototype. With that in
mind, it's also important to consider your working environment.
Here are a few example questions to ask yourself.
- Are you working on an internal project or do you work for a
product vendor?
- Are you in a hostile work environment, or is there a fair
amount of trust?
- Are you working under very strenuous deadlines?
Keep all of this information in your mind as you read the rest
of the article. This is also a good time to decide whether or not
to prototype at all.
To Prototype or Not to Prototype
There is a recurring debate in software development about
whether or not to prototype. This is the same type of religious
argument that wages around which IDE you currently use, type-safe
versus non-type-safe languages, object-oriented versus functional
programming, native versus custom look and feel, and so on.
Proponents of prototyping make the point that prototyping helps
with upfront design, making development easier since everyone knows
what to build up front. In practice, I've found that analysts and
managers tend to like prototyping because it gives them something
tangible--however unreal--to latch on to. This can be a great
help in facilitating requirements-gathering from users. Prototyping
can also help analysts write requirements docs.
Opponents of prototyping are often realists who see too much
prototyping as a time drain, if not a complete waste of time. Full
upfront prototyping with complete specs before development fits the
waterfall development methodologies and is generally out of favor
these days. Things change during development, as preconceived usage
changes and corner cases are discovered, often rendering prototypes
irrelevant, or at least of less useful than previously thought.
Agile development avoids prototyping almost entirely by
iteratively honing in on a UI design with the code. This works well
for internal software development with understanding users. It's
more difficult for product vendors who don't really have the leeway
for iterative releases. Product vendors often have one real shot at
the market with an innovative product. It has to be right, or at
least really good, right out of the gate.
But there is a middle ground. There are many tools and
techniques for prototyping. The best thing to do is look at the
different prototyping methods, analyze them according to your
product and organizational goals, and use what you can.
Interaction designers and usability specialists often break down
prototyping in terms of fidelity, specifically high
and low fidelity. Fidelity refers to how responsive a
prototype is.
High fidelity prototypes are "working" applications--you press a button and something happens. I say "working" because high fidelity just refers to something happening. It doesn't
mean that it really works, functionality-wise. There is an assumed
majority of smoke and mirrors. False back ends and embedded
screenshots are all fair game. The goal is to give a realistic
taste of what your application is going to look and feel like.
Low fidelity prototypes, by contrast, are non-functioning.
Examples of low fidelity prototypes are screenshots and sketches.
An extreme form of low fidelity prototyping is paper prototyping.
Obviously if something is printed on paper, buttons aren't going to
work, at least not yet.
High Fidelity and Java
If anyone has ever asks you to do a screen mockup in Java, you
are building a high fidelity prototype. As a Java developer, you
probably tend to lean towards this approach, because it's what you
know. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
- Like the final product.
- Good for stakeholders, venture capital, etc.
- Give you a feel for the technology while designing.
- Lower design risk.
- Sometimes a good option for modification to a current
- False sense of completion.
- Time consuming.
- Difficult to change.
- False sense of security.
- Time sink! You can spend all your time tweaking the prototype.
It's hard to make a hard split.
If you decide to go with high fidelity Java prototypes, there
are a couple of things you can do to mitigate some of the larger
risks. Consider the false sense of completion as an example. First,
you could do a watermark with PROTOTYPE in big bold
letters plastered on your application. Watermarks and their
implementation are explained in detail in " "http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2005/07/12/visualizations.html">Interaction
Happens: Thinking Graphically." Figure 1 shows the Java Web
Start management application with a watermark indicating that it is
in development.
"A watermark to reinforce the prototype status" />
Figure 1. A watermark to reinforce the prototype status
Believe it or not, sometimes this kind of reinforcement alone
can remind your stakeholders and users that this simply isn't the
real deal yet. If that's not enough, you can go the extra mile and
give the Napkin look
and feel a shot. This is a Swing pluggable look and feel (PLAF)
that makes your applications look hand-drawn. Figure 2 shows a
screenshot of Sun's SwingSet demo in the Napkin look and feel.
HTML can be an interesting choice. It runs in the browser, so
all of your users, testers, and stakeholders can use the
application before you figure out how your installations are going
to work. Also, a lot of people in this day and age are familiar
with at least basic HTML, and therefore non-programmers at your
company could probably work on the prototype a bit. There are also
a number of tools for building websites at your disposal:
Dreamweaver, FrontPage, etc. If you're building a web client, this
can probably work. If you're building a rich standalone application,
you could run into some difficulties prototyping as a thin client
and building as a standalone application.
Another option would be to prototype in another high-level
language like C++ or .NET. The problems here are very similar to
prototyping in Java, except that you have the extra complexity of
managing a different development environment. That can be very
resource-expensive. Also, all you're really saving is the demand
that you turn your prototype into production code. At the same
time, you run the risk of someone doing that anyway, then all of
the sudden you end up writing your application in an entirely
different language. Stranger things have happened.
Low Fidelity
At its most simple, a low fidelity prototype is something that
doesn't run. This could be anything from a screenshot to a napkin
drawing. Low fidelity prototypes are great because they are faster
to develop than high fidelity prototypes. On the downside, they
sometimes leave a little to be desired in communicating the interaction
of your system. Also, your prototype idea might not be completely
finished, and that might be OK. You may have a few flows that are
yet to be analyzed. It's much harder to hide such issues with a
high fidelity prototype.
- Quick to make.
- Fast and easy to change.
- You can leave more design unfinished.
- Usability testing more difficult.
- Stakeholders may be less comfortable with this.
- Easy to miss flows that would be obvious with a high fidelity
Wireframes are the extreme form of low fidelity prototyping.
Simply put, wireframes are black and white outline sketches of an
application. On the upside, they are the quickest to make and
assume the least about the final application product. On the
downside, they can be hard for new users or application
stakeholders to wrap their heads around. Figure 3 shows a fictional
wireframe prototype of Java.net if the "Community" link were
replaced with a new "Blogs" link.
Figure 3. Java.net bloggers page prototype, wireframe style
Use wireframes when:
- You are brainstorming.
- You don't care about the finished look as much.
- You have visionary stakeholders that don't need to see the
finished look.
- You are doing rapid internal releases so you don't need all
design completed upfront.
Screen Capture Mockups
For lack of a better term, "screen capture mockups" refers to
making a realistic-looking picture of the final product using a
graphics application. This is a middle ground if you want a little
more realism than a wireframe prototype, without going to a
full-fledged high fidelity prototype. These often work well when
you're taking an existing system and making enhancements that don't
require high fidelity prototypes. Screen mockups might be a good
choice for the new blogs page prototype on Java.net, since it's
already live. This way, you can take a screen shot of the current
Java.net and use a graphics tool like Photoshop to add the new
page. Figure 4 shows a Photoshop-edited screenshot of Java.net with
the new fictitious "Blogs" page. Notice that all of the content is
in place. It looks exactly how it would look if it were real.
Remember that these techniques are not mutually exclusive.
Imagine a scenario where you plan on using wireframe prototypes for
a series of usability tests. Stakeholders are nervous and anxious
to see the final product. You could always run the usability tests
with wireframes and create a select few full screen mockups that
look as if they are screenshots from a finished product.
As with the high fidelity prototypes, I can't stress the
importance of reinforcement of the prototype status. If your screen
mockups are good, someone might think that your screen mockup is
actually a screenshot from a working product. I've gotten
in the habit of always using watermarks on screen mockups when they
leave my desk. This reminds people that it's not a finished
product. Notice the "prototype" watermark.
Use screen mockups when:
- You are testing your product for marketing purposes.
- You are testing with users that might be uncomfortable with the
unfinished look of wireframes.
- You are building a very graphics-intensive application (graphs,
diagrams, etc).
- Your management wants a better feel of the overall appearance
of the application.
Be aware that some don't make a distinction between what I'm
referring to as wireframes and screen mockups. I have often seen
realistic-looking screenshots referred to as wireframes. I think
it's important to make a distinction between these two types of low
fidelity prototyping, since they have different benefits and
Paper Prototyping
One of the common objections to low fidelity prototypes is
usability testing. Carolyn Snyder explains an interesting approach
in her book "http://www.paperprototyping.com/about.html">Paper Prototyping,
which is also the term for prototyping a working system with only
paper. Imagine you're testing the navigation of a website. There
are a finite number of pages in the site. You could then test the
navigation by asking them what they would click on, then replacing
the page printout in front of them with the page in the web site
that they would have navigated to if they had actually clicked a
button. This way, you can still test workflows and navigation
without building a high fidelity prototype, or even running a
computer in a usability test! This can be powerful, not only because
it gets people's heads out of the computer, but also because it
makes logistics easier--all you need is a couple of paper
printouts to run your test.
Fidelity Purgatory
There are a number of applications that ride the line between
high and low fidelity prototyping tools. These are mostly
applications that are built specifically for prototyping. A good
example of this is Visio's application builder. It puts a suite of
Windows components at your disposal: buttons, scrollbars, window
frames, and more. What's more, you can build multiple screens and
connect them together by assigning actions to the components. This
way, you click on a button and you actually move to another screen,
giving the impression of real functionality.
The upside of this is that you get some of the benefits of a
high fidelity prototype (realism, for example) while bypassing some
of the more serious problems like having a manager demand that you
put prototype code into a production application.
You can't build a real working application in Visio's
application builder, but you can make a semi-decent, semi-high-fidelity prototype for basic applications. In practice, I've always
shied away from this approach because of its inherent limitations.
These prototype builder applications usually work for basic
applications. But as soon as you want to do something out of the
norm (like a custom graphical data display, for example), these
applications can run into difficulty. And that doesn't even account
for the learning curve for a custom prototyping application that
doesn't have proven longevity. Even as I say that, I think this is
an interesting space to watch. There could be a great prototyping
tool developed in the future that'll solve all of our little
interaction designer woes.
The first step in prototyping is trying to figure out what you
want to accomplish. Are you just getting stakeholder buy-in?
Helping your analysts visualize the system to help them gather
requirements? Screen mockups or wireframes might do the trick here.
Then consider your corporate climate. Do you work at the type of
place that would make you put high fidelity prototype code into
production? If you do, stay away from high fidelity prototypes. Or
at least make it clear with a watermark or the Napkin PLAF that the
prototype is not a real application. Finally, consider the project
you're working on and what it needs. Are you testing website
navigation? You can do this pretty effectively with paper
prototyping (wireframes or screen mockups). Or are you testing
marketing strategies and overall effect? In that case, you might be
better off building a basic engine with several skins and testing
them once your project is getting closer to completion.
When choosing your strategy, just consider all that you want to accomplish with
prototyping, your corporate climate, and your specific project. Consider the strengths and weaknesses of
each approach. And then come up with a plan using one or more of these
strategies. In general, I always suggest leaning towards the least
work in your prototypes. Favor low fidelity over high fidelity, and
wireframes over screen mockups. You want to spend as little time
prototyping as possible. The more detailed you get in your
prototypes, the harder they are to make, the harder they are to
change, and the more expectations are created.

Turns out, robots have hobbies too.
Cast members of Texas A&M University's latest production of A Midsummer Night's Dream shared the stage with several robotic fairies that, during the production, buzzed around the actors and audience.
The robots took time off from their work at the Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue at Texas A&M–this is their first theatrical appearance. While they probably didn't go through the agony of auditioning, they did, in all fairness, only land non-speaking parts.

Bruce Springsteen Is A Rock And Roll Icon And Sometimes 'Almost Country'
Bruce Springsteen is a music icon, a legend in Rock and Roll music, one of the best selling and most respected artist's of the last half century.
One thing Bruce Springsteen isn't is Classic Country.
But he isn't that far away.
While I don't confess to be Springsteen's biggest fan, I do recognize his immense talent and i think the thing I admire most is his songwriting.
One of the things I've always admired about Classic Country music is…it often tells the truth, unvarnished and real, sometimes straight to the heart…sometimes right to the gut.
A lot of what 'The Boss' writes and sings does that too. And in the song and video below, Springsteen tells the truth in, what seems to me, an 'Almost Country' kind of way.
Is Bruce Springsteen Classic Country? No, of course not, he doesn't travel down the Classic Country Highway…but you can see the road he's on from here.

This production promises to class among the blue-winged

flitting among the gentle judges who may be disposed to bestow on
it the sunshine of their smiles. The language is always modest,

one or two deaths.

The ballots have been collected and counted, and graduate students across campus have chosen Dr. Diana Hulse as this year's Graduate Teacher of the Year. The award is sponsored by Alpha Sigma Nu, the Jesuit
Honor Society.
"It's the best honor in the world, because it comes from students," said Dr. Hulse, who arrived at Fairfield in 2007 to chair the Department of Counselor Education. Previously, she spent 13 years at the University of Maine and 11 at the University of New Orleans. Two years after she arrived, the Graduate School of Education and Allied Profession's master's degree counseling programs were accredited again by CACREP (Council for Accreditation for Counseling and Related Educational Programs) for an eight-year period. The department has recently begun two advanced training certificate programs in Spirituality and Religion in Counseling and in Substance Abuse Counseling.
"People learn best in an atmosphere which fosters mutual respect and allows for the expression of a wide range of ideas," Dr. Hulse once wrote in a statement outlining her teaching philosophy. "Good instruction means accepting people wherever they are in their intellectual and/or clinical development and at the same time challenging them to expand their horizons."
According to students who wrote in to cast their votes, Dr. Hulse does all that, and more.
"I've not had a professor, or teacher for that matter, in my schooling who better communicates the subject material through a unique, experiential approach," writes one. "To see her in a classroom setting is to see the material itself coming to life."
"She makes it clear to each student that they are an integral part of the learning experience, and encourages everyone to fully engage in the process," says Graduate Assistant Joe Graziano, who is also in the counselor education program. "Students' comprehension of the course material is enhanced through interpersonal learning and sharing of ideas and insight. Dr. Hulse is able to show students how what they have learned in class can be applied to work outside of the classroom."
Dr. Hulse was honored at a reception on Tuesday, March 27, in the Kelley Center.
When Dr. Hulse arrived at Fairfield, "She brought not only her scholarly expertise in group work but also an extensive experience as a teacher and mentor to graduate students in counselor education programs," said Dr. Susan Franzosa, dean of the College of Education and Allied Professions. "This award is a well deserved recognition of her contributions to the education graduate students receive here at Fairfield.
This is the second year in a row that a GSEAP faculty member has been so honored; Dr. Wendy Kohli was named Grad Teacher of the Year in 2010-11.

See our previous post on the Sarvis tents
The usual production delays, but Big Agnes seems close to getting the Sarvis tents to market. Big Agnes expects silnylon models in two weeks and the eVENT-paneled version in six weeks. We'll be testing the SL 2+ eVENT version in the near future!
They told us that they've made more than a few tweaks to improve the tents. The all silnylon version gets better ventilation with a cool, 3-point tieout to a single anchor point. The eVENT-paneled version has faster pitching and gets a price break: $299 from $359 for the 1+, and $399 from $469 for the 2+.
The all silnyon Sarvis: Better ventilation and a cool, 3-point tieout to a single anchor point. Each line has an adjustable tensioner to get things just right.

Conference or Workshop Item
Research Interests
Professor Coggon leads a programme of epidemiological research on the inter-relation of work and health, aimed at informing policy and clinical practice.
This currently includes studies on:
- Musculoskeletal disorders of the back, neck, upper limb and knee, and associated disability, including the impact of occupational physical activities and of psychological influences
- Clinical management of distal arm pain
- Infectious pneumonia and occupational exposure to metal fume
- Cancer risk from various industrial chemicals
- Risk factors for occupational injuries
- Patterns of occupational mortality nationally
- Skin disease in sheep farmers
- Endotoxins and risk of lung cancer
The four most important achievements of his research have been:
1. Demonstration of a major hazard of hip osteoarthritis in farmers, which appears to result from frequent heavy lifting. This has contributed to the classification of hip osteoarthritis as an occupational disease in farmers for the purposes of social security compensation.
2. Demonstration of a hazard of knee osteoarthritis in occupations that involve prolonged kneeling or squatting. This has contributed to the recognition of knee osteoarthritis as a compensable occupational disease in coal miners, both in the UK and in Germany.
3. Demonstration of an occupational hazard of infectious lobar pneumonia in welders and other occupations involving exposure to metal fume. This has led to a proposal that immunisation against pneumococcal infection should be recommended for welders.
4. Demonstration of major differences between countries in the prevalence of common musculoskeletal complaints and associated disability among workers carrying out similar physical activities.
Other significant achievements include:
5. Contributions to the development of job-exposure matrices as a research tool in occupational epidemiology and to the understanding of their strengths and limitations.
6. Demonstration of a link between stomach cancer and domestic crowding in early life. Subsequent research by other investigators showed that infection by H. Pylori is an important cause of stomach cancer and that domestic crowding promotes infection by the bacterium.
7. Establishing the descriptive epidemiology of low back pain in Britain, including an increase in its prevalence between the 1980s and 1990s.
8. Demonstration that reading in childhood is a risk factor for myopia.
9. Demonstration that a hazard of cutaneous warts in butchers is due largely if not completely to infection by HPV7, and that this appears to result from an effect on the pathogenicity of the virus rather than an increased rate of its transmission from person to person.
10. Generation of data on the risk of cancer from phenoxy herbicides, mineral acid mists, ethylene oxide, styrene, formaldehyde and other known or suspected occupational carcinogens. This research has contributed to risk assessment and policy internationally.
11. Demonstration that the excess mortality from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in coal miners has a markedly different geographical distribution from that of coal workers' pneumoconiosis. This led to a change in the rules governing social security compensation for COPD in miners.
12. Demonstration that the ranking of occupations by mortality from pleural mesothelioma is substantially different from that for peritoneal mesothelioma and asbestosis. This implies important differences in the exposure-response relationships for diseases caused by asbestos.
13. Demonstration that the descriptive epidemiology of aortic aneurysm differs importantly from that of coronary heart disease and peripheral vascular disease. This implies the existence of as yet unrecognised, distinctive causes.
14. Demonstration that the effects of occupational kneeling and squatting on risk of knee osteoarthritis are greatest in people who are obese. This suggests that avoidance of obesity would be particularly beneficial in people exposed to these occupational activities.
15. Demonstration that occupational kneeling and squatting are risk factors for degenerative knee cartilage injuries.
16. Demonstration in a case-control study that, after allowance for other risk factors, risk of hip fracture was not associated with exposure to fluoride in drinking water. This finding has contributed to the formulation of government policy on water fluoridation.
17. Validation of a method for retrospective measurement of exposure to depleted uranium, which was subsequently used successfully in a testing programme for Gulf War veterans.
18. Demonstration of the important contribution of somatising tendency to the incidence and prevalence of common musculoskeletal complaints.

Hopefully you'll show some of my Deuce from the 50s-60s – at least for comparison sake.
There is currently a photo on eBay of a 1971 concert at the Demille. Sid Bernstein presents Melanie. I don't remember concerts there. Does anyone recall other shows?
That shot is a great example of how the 42nd Street theaters had fun programming their double feature revivals….Kings Go Forth & Kings of the Sun. They frequently booked Man With The Gun & Man Without A Star.
Ross, Patrick, Ken, and Michael
Thanks for the fun, the education and the memories.
Jerry Kovar
We visited here yesterday and this is the kind of independent local theater we need to support. Paid $5.00 matinee admission ("up In the Air" and $4.00 concession – now that's refreshing – for popcorn and soda. I spoke with one of the employees who told me that 3 folks worked there and the two I met were very cordial – also refreshing. Among the on-screen ads were a 1940 photo of the theater and the opening Window Card from "Dust Be My Destiny". Screenwriter and local native Michael France ("Fantastic Four", "Hulk"…) purchased the theater in 2007. They do a free Saturday morning screening (yesterday was a Japanese sci-fi flic) and a troupe accompanies "The Rocky Horror Picture SHow' on Saturday evenings. Check it out when you are in the area.
ken mc – where did you find those great Daily News images?
Recent web posting on the history:
Scroll down a couple of articles.
Neville Brand grew up in Kewanee and must have attended this theater in the 30s before heading off to war
Not at all, since the writer is covering theaters functioning as movie theaters.
TCM's daily blog focuses today on the Oswald-Texas connection.
Here's the link:
NYT article on the re-opening.
Easy Mr. Harris. I probably did copy some of yours and I know that you will find many there that you do not "own".
Imagine me having the nerve to copy a posted image of my childhood theater. I'm disgraced.
Lighten up, we are all in this for one thing, to relive memories. Or so I thought.
Sorry for the confusion. Lost Memory's link will do it for you.
Hope to hear from folks with memories of the old RKO.
Here is a link to my photobucket album of RKO 23rd St images that I've accumulated.
Roxy….I'd be curious as to the Sneak Preview of the "Laugh Riot of 1956" (in Cinemascope), I'm thinking The Girl Can't Help It with Mansfield.
Thanks, Ross for this wonderful gift.
The gift that keeps on giving.
Heartbreaking photo of the fire in 1960. I was a young lad standing with my dad watching from this angle. The theater had already been shut down, tragic enough without this happening. Note the OPERA sign in the window.
Great post, Sontaran6, no need to apologize whatsoever.
I lived in Woodlawn and became familiar with your "fondly remembered neighborhood house" in the early 70s when it was a $1.00 for a double feature.
Other than the annoying green clock, that you couldn't help but keep checking, it was a nice, clean, safe theater with excellent programming as I posted earlier.
10 cents for a Kids Matinee in '45 would sound right. I remember paying a quarter in the late 50s at my beloved neighborhood house.
Great memories, have a happy one yourself.
Thanks, Dan
And if you headed West (to the left) on Greenwich Ave, across from The Sheridan was the Greenwich theater.
Anyone have any idea when the Terrace closed? I think it was before the RKO 23rd Street closed in 1960. We have AL's account of the pistol whipping in late '57. But nothing after that.
We can only hope it was something soapy.
and, saps, there was no extra charge for the "live" entertainment supplied by an audience on The Deuce.
I remember seeing the rerelease of "PSYCHO" there in '64 and the guy in front of me was scarier than Bates.
Weekend NYT article on architect Thomas Lang
The Sheridan in 1932:
This is not the appropriate site for the selling of your product. Cinema Treasures was designed to be a celebration of movie theaters, not the profiteering of theater suppliers. My two cents.

« Complaints From a Fossil |
| The Tar Pit Beckons »
Posted by Derek
I wrote a brief wrap-up on the FDA's concerns about the new Bristol-Meyers Squibb / Merck diabetes drug Pargluva (muraglitazar). It's officially "approvable", but the FDA wants more cardiovascular safety data before it can be sold. But just this morning the JAMA web site has rushed out an article from a team at the Cleveland Clinic on the drug's clinical trial data. (Accompanying editorial here). It's very disturbing, in more ways than one.
At the time, I said that "By my reading, the cardiovascular event profile of the drug subjects looks slightly but noticeably worse than that of the placebo group. There are plenty of possible extenuating factors, and the number of patients involved is small, but I think that this is going to be a problem for the companies during the FDA hearing. Here's the list of questions the FDA has proposed for discussion (PDF again), and you can see that edema and cardiovascular safety loom large. . ." That's fine, as far as it goes, but I didn't dig far enough into the data, and I wonder if the advisory panel did, either.
What the authors of this new paper have noticed is the number of patients taking a low dose of muraglitazar - lower than the companies ended up seeking approval for. They didn't show enough beneficial effects for that dose to be worthwhile, but since muraglitazar's cardiovascular problems appear to be strongly correlated with dose, these patients also had no cardiovascular events at all. The problem is that these patients were included in the risk calculations, and that makes the drug look safer than it would be under real-world conditions.
The Cleveland group's recalculations now put the risk of cardiovascular events with clinically relevant doses of muraglitazar at 20% higher than the placebo group, and at 67% higher than the combined placebo-standard of care group. (That includes patients treated with pioglitazone, a PPAR-gamma compound that's been approved for some years now). Put that way, this sounds like a huge increase, but it's important to remember that both of these figures, though real, are pretty small. The placebo group had about 34 events per 1000 patient years, and the drug treatment group, in the new analysis, had around 40 events. So, back-of-the-envelope, for every thousand patients on muraglitazar, you might expect an extra 6 cardiovascular incidents per year. The similarities to the Vioxx data are not hard to spot, and in fact the authors of this paper have been very much involved in that controversy as well.
But I'm not going to push that comparison. This is a different case than Vioxx, a drug that (for many patients) really does seem to do more than existing compounds can. The problem here is that muraglitazar (and all the PPAR alpha-gamma compounds that have gone into development) was supposed to be better for cardiovascular outcomes than the plain PPAR-gamma compounds that are already out there. Needless to say, it was also supposed to be better than a damned placebo, which it isn't. The entire dual-PPAR-agonist idea is in trouble. The whole point of adding PPAR-alpha activity was to improve blood lipid profiles, and pretty much the whole point of doing that is to improve cardiovascular health. The first part is working, but the second part, the important part, just doesn't seem to be happening. Looking at the data, I find it hard to imagine why anyone would take muraglitazar over the exisiting therapies, when there's no evidence for what is supposed to be its main advantage.
As if that weren't bad enough, there's also a background worry about cancer rates with PPAR compounds. The muraglitazar data aren't totally reassuring on this front, either. Other compounds in this class died because of carcinogenicity in long-term rodent studies, and muraglitazar is the first compound to actually make it past such studies. But the data submitted to the FDA show that rats given the compound at high doses do indeed show bladder cancer - it just seems to be less of a problem than it was for the earlier compounds from Merck, Kyorin, Novo, Dr. Reddy's, et al. For a marginal compound, though, this is a real issue.
I don't necessarily think that the people at BMS (and Merck, a latecomer to this compound) were sitting around wondering about just how to snow the FDA. But it would certainly cheer me up if I could rule that out, wouldn't it, now? At the very least, the companies weren't being as critical of themselves as scientists have to be, and they've committed a mistake that would flunk a PhD candidate or get a paper tossed back from a well-refereed journal. Something has gone seriously wrong here. We're supposed to be better than this.
What on Earth were they thinking, submitting data in a way that makes it look like they were trying to pull a fast one with the cardiovascular risk factors? Now, of all times? Who knows, maybe people at BMS had just convinced themselves that things were fine, somehow - the capacity for human self-deception is limitless. But didn't anyone at Merck turn pale and have to sit down when they saw these numbers? I didn't realize how bad the situation was back in September, but even then I wondered about this, saying: "I can't predict which way this one is going to go, and neither can anyone else. But post-COX-2 is a bad time to be coming to the FDA with possible low-level cardiac risks in your clinical data. . ." Now that the risks look even worse, I'm baffled. You people want the sky to come down on your heads?

Absolutely nuts. For better or worse, the FDA has had a rather itchy trigger finger lately when it comes to clinical holds if cardiovascular safety is involved. I'll be very interested to see the followup on this, as will just about everybody else in the industry.

all you have to do is check the fda website. http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/ac/cder05.html#EndocrinologicMetabolic . both the company presentation is there as well as the fda review. there is no "cover up" here. the data is clearly presented and the death data is there for everyone to see: 18 deaths in the pargluva arm, 2 in actos arm, 1 with placebo, 9 cv deaths in pargluva, 0 with actos, 1 with placebo, 7 cancer deaths with pargluva, 1 with actos, 0 with placebo.

Anon, that's true, and those are the numbers I was looking at in September when I thought that there might be trouble. But even those don't match up with the JAMA paper's re-analysis. I quote, with emphasis added:
Table 3 illustrates the adverse events occurring in the 5 reviewed clinical trials conducted in diabetic patients with muraglitazar dosages of 5 mg/d or less. Table 4 illustrates the event rates, RRs, and P values for muraglitazar compared with pioglitazone or placebo. The primary outcome measure (all-cause mortality, nonfatal MI, or nonfatal stroke) occurred in 35 of 2374 muraglitazar-treated patients (1.47%) vs 9 of 1351 control patients (0.67%) (RR, 2.23; 95% CI, 1.07- 4.66; P = .03). A more specific outcome measure, substituting cardiovascular death for all-cause mortality, occurred in 27 of 2374 muraglitazar-treated patients (1.14%) vs 7 of 1351 control patients (0.52%) (RR, 2.21; 95% CI, 0.96-5.08; P = .06). A more comprehensive outcome measure adding CHF and TIA events to the composite yielded an incidence of 50 of 2374 for muraglitazar-treated patients (2.11%) vs 11 of 1351 control patients (0.81%) (RR, 2.62; 95% CI, 1.36-5.05; P = .004).

The CV issue may not be real. I havent heard of anyone coming up with a good mechanism why it should cause more CV events/deaths, and the numbers are pretty small. the JAMA paper was data culled from the FDA website, so they really dont have all the relevant data, timelines, etc. I think more data will tell the real story.

ON THE TOPIC OF AE CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP: MONOTHERAPY VS CONCOMMITANT THERAPY (An obvious Nissenian observation minimized.)
This comment acknowledges the huge shortcoming a diabetic agent would have if only afforded a monotherapy or severely restricted combination therapy indication(s). None the less, I found Dr. S. Nissen's commentary lacking in missing the "obvious" that he is want to see as he was in casual observation of the muraglitizar CV AE data.
>>>>JAMA excerpt form discussion with my comments in ( ) >>>
The possibility of an interaction between muraglitazar and other antidiabetic therapies must also be considered. Most adverse cardiovascular events occurred in studies in which muraglitazar was combined with glyburide or metformin. .....(No, essentially ALL the adverse events occurred with a metformin or glyburide addition. Very interesting, how Dr. Nissen seems to minimize this as he magnifies surrogate markers, ala IVUS when it serves him yet minimizes them in conventional diabetes study design here. There appear with this PARTIAL DATA SET to be only 2 TIAs - one at 1.5mg (~250 pts.)and one with a 5mg dose (~250 pts) and 1 Stroke in the muraglitizar monotherapy arms 0f ~ 500 pts total. The subtherapeutic 0.5mg dose had zero events. Interestingly, there were 1 MI and 1 Stroke in the pioglitazone 15m arm of ~ 25o pts total. Review the Cardiovascular events table.)However, the number of events in any single study is too few to draw definitive conclusions about the RRs of muraglitazar with or without concomitant therapy with other agents. (This statement appears to be INCORRECT with regard to WITHOUT concomitant therapy. HOW could someone like Dr. Nissen miss this? I don't believe he could have overlooked anything. Do you?) Other dual-PPARs in development may or may not exhibit similar hazards. (I don't think he has DEFINITIVELY identified a HAZARD. Has he? And given the genetic – efficacy complexities known with PPARs/PARs, isn't it reasonable to look closely at monotherapy events, alone and in comparison to combination? They have simply applied what statistical tools were suitable to a partial data set...and choose the words of "exhibiting...hazard." The most obvious statement in the world for a researcher to say is ...more study is needed. But VIGOROUS STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF ALL DATA, including data since NDA submission to present is what is needed. If that analysis is not enough to guide the FDA with a safety first mindset, THEN I can buy Dr. Nissen's "saving" grace. I see many sides to the players involved, including political complexity being applied to this 'situation' from CCF to the FDA. I wish it were pure science, a 'high road', on ALL sides. Time may not tell.

Still reeling from fathers death, UFCs Jake Shields struggles to find his way
I really hope Jake is able to come back and get his career on track. He's always been one of my favorites
Whoever reads the whole thing deserves some serious praise.
I read it all
Actually had a lot more respect once I heard what happened awhile ago. Most fighters would have taken a sabbatical, but Shields soldiered on. He lost and didn't use it as an excuse even though it was a valid one.
You know as I grow older I realize we have to deal with grown up problems. One of em is death. I've counted at least six deaths over the last several years I've had to deal with. You just sit there in a state of deep contemplation.
Jake gets a lot of flak but this guy is the only person since Anderson to beat Hendo. I think he's a top contender at both 185 and 170 and if his striking wasn't so poor I'd give him a chance against Anderson. Don't think he can beat GSP at all though.

The cases covered in this review fall into two classifications
-- acute colitis as found in a one-month-old child and a six-and-a-half-year
old boy; and the other, more common, mucous colitis, often called spastic
colitis, more frequent in the adult.
There is a basic etiologic relationship between all
cases of colitis, as seen in the readings. They seem to be preceded
by a cold or a congestion or what might be called intestinal flu.
This acts as a precipitating factor, although occasionally an injury might
set the stage for subsequent events. The development of the disease
process from that point onward varies to some extent with the individual.
Colitis always occurs in conjunction with lymphatic
disturbances. The lacteal ducts throughout the intestinal tract,
the lymphatic vessels, the lymph nodes and the Peyer's patches are all
involved in a sometimes inflammatory condition. Because of the inflammation
in the walls of the intestine, the lymph fluid itself often becomes toxic
to the entire body, particularly the liver. Because of the toxic
effect on the Peyer's patches and the lacteal ducts that are closely related
to the assimilatory process, the food that is ingested no longer can be
properly assimilated and made ready to participate in the rebuilding of
body tissues.
"... the disturbances with the physical forces of the body.
These have to do with the assimilations in the system. Hence that
tenseness as is seen in the system through the building or replenishing
forces, and tendency toward anemic forces in the general system."
The combination of inflammation in the walls of the
intestine, the lack of assimilation of needed elements in the Peyer's
patch area, the toxins flowing through the lymphatics, and the strains
and stresses which are imposed upon the resistances, which should be a
portion of the body forces - with all this, the vital energies of the
body are consumed, in a sense. As a result the body suffers.
Because of the disorders found in the lymphatics and
emunctory centers of the intestinal system, mucus is often formed as a
byproduct and the nerve forces throughout this portion of the body become
depressed in their energies. Although the statement is never clear
in those cases reviewed for this commentary, yet it must be assumed that
the body is in a state of excessive acidity when an individual has colitis.
In the young individual afflicted with this condition,
the lymph areas become inflamed. With the subsequent disturbance
of the assimilation in the lacteal ducts and the Peyer's patches, and
usually because of the inflammation present, the liver becomes distressed.
This often produces fever, nausea, and a resultant series of lesions in
the ganglia and the autonomic nervous system, these not being usually
of major significance. Inflammatory centers might then develop in
the lymph nodes throughout the body and may create greater disturbances
as in [3886].
II. Rationale of Therapy
In approaching therapy, we should remember that the
body has a capability of normal function:
"Thus, we would administer those activities which would bring a normal
reaction through these portions, stimulating them to an activity from
the body itself, rather than the body becoming dependent upon supplies
that are robbing portions of the system to produce activity in other portions,
or the system receiving elements or chemical reactions being supplied
without arousing the activity of the system itself for a more normal condition."
Since colitis is basically a major disturbance of
the lymphatics, then the therapy must be directed at restoring proper
function through this portion of the body. This should probably
be attempted through the following six measures:
It is important in achieving the aims just mentioned
to be persistent when the individual is an adult and has had the colitis
for a period of time. Therapy for the child with an acute colitis
would necessarily be directed in a different manner.
III. Suggested Therapeutic Regimen
Children respond rather dramatically, just as they
become ill rather precipitously. This was the case with one-month-old
[2892], who had acute colitis. He recovered in just a few hours
when he was put on a rigid regimen of underfeeding; Glyco-Thymoline packs
across the abdomen, put on hot as can be stood and left on until cool
- which is 15 to 20 minutes - twice or three times daily; Glyco-Thymoline
two drops in water two or three times a day; daily enemas with some Glyco-Thymoline
in the enema water or olive oil used first; Castoria one or two drops
each hour until movement is obtained every two or three days; and yellow
saffron tea sipped in minute quantities during the day, made fresh each
day. This combination of substances brought about an immediate response
with this infant.
With the six-and-a-half-year-old boy, [3886], the
routine of therapy was somewhat different. The enemas and Glyco-Thymoline
internally as an antiseptic of an alkaline-reacting nature were used here,
as well as underfeeding - in this instance using vegetable and citrus
fruit juices and goat's milk. Quiet and rest were insisted upon
and beef juice was added to strengthen the body. In addition to
the osteopathic manipulations, massage was given daily along the spine
with a mixture of equal parts of olive oil, myrrh, and sassafras oil;
and a gentle massage over the body with spiritus frumenti (with the alcohol
burned off, when fever needed to be controlled.
Chronic mucous colitis or spastic colitis - and I'm
sure ulcerative colitis was included occasionally in these - in the older
person is approached somewhat differently. The readings sometimes
emphasized tuberous vegetables, other times a regular diet and at times
a suggestion such as the following:
"In the diets, keep away from meats. Only fish or fowl may be
taken, and these never fried. No fried foods of any kind Take rather
the body-building and strength-giving foods - especially a great deal
Of fruits, fruit juices including citrus fruit juices, of course.
Combine a little lemon with the orange juice. Plenty of prunes,
prune whip. Plenty of pineapple and the like. All of these
would be the principals, though not all of the diet. Refrain from
a great deal of pastries. Malted milks and those of such natures
may be in the diet. Not too much of candies or sweets, though occasionally
milk in chocolate or cocoa or the like may be taken." (2085-1)
An inch-thick grape poultice - made of crushed grapes
and laid on the abdomen for one-and-a-half to four hours until dry - was
suggested in many readings apparently for its effect on the lymph centers
and the lymph fluid as a cleansing type of preparation. The grapes
should preferably be Concord. A wild ginseng fusion is suggested
just as frequently. Rest, mild exercise in the open air, alum fusion,
massage with camphorated oil to the abdomen and to the spine (especially
after the grape poultice is used) are other suggestions. Colonic
irrigation is frequently suggested to cleanse the colon and remove toxic
products, and osteopathic treatments were recommended to balance the nerve
forces and impulses and to remove the lesions which have been formed during
the development of the disease process.
Following is a list of various combinations of substances
suggested for use in colitis. They are helpful as a reference.
1. First therapy in mucous colitis where there is an excess of lymph
activity and a jujunitis (not specified here what function it will perform):
"First make a good strong fusion of wild ginseng; not so strong as
to be a tincture, to be sure, but: When the wild ginseng is well broken,
put an ounce of this in distilled water and boil for at least twenty minutes,
until it has produced a good fusion; not using the pulverized ginseng,
but broken up; using sufficient water to make two-and-one-half ounces
of the fusion. Strain.
Then to the 21/2 ounces of the fusion of wild ginseng add, in the
order named:
Tincture of wild ginger, 1/4 ounce
Tincture of valerian, 1/2 ounce
Grain alcohol (90 proof), I ounce (2846-1)
2. After colitis - to rebuild the system:
The greater distresses associated with acute colitis
quieted down during the eight days prior to this six-and-a-half-year-old
boy's second reading. At that point, it was felt necessary to build
up the system more. The following is an extract from his second
"Yes, we find the body here, and the conditions show somewhat of the
improvements and the reduction of those forces as cause the greater distress.
Those that will be more of the general building, now, we would add for
the system. Those that add iron and the sodas to the system, or
it may be in a stimul[us] as this. These we would add considerably
to the stimuli, but would of necessity be given in very small quantities
and should be gradually increased until there would be given what would
be the division of the whole quantity into thirty pellets. We would
Camphor gum, 20 grains
Muriated iron, 20 grains
Sulphate of morphia, 1/4 grain
Mix this thoroughly together. Begin with one grain of same,
as a stimulus, see? Then add those in the food values. These
will rest, and those will also build the body. Do that." (3886-2)
3. Grape poultice for lymphatic disturbances:
Apparently, from readings 5023-1 and 5280-1, grape
poultices were used to restore more normal functioning of lymph centers
and emunctories throughout the intestinal tract. In the former reading,
there was a nerve exhaustion brought on by an injury to the liver area
and an amoebic dysentery had developed. Apparently injuries of one
sort or another or depression of the lymphatic centers had developed with
this excess lymph circulation. In 5280-1 fever from inflammation
in the colon had produced disorders of all the lymph centers and emunctories
throughout the alimentary canal.
"Do apply over the whole abdomen, at least once a week, crushed grapes.
These should be used with the hull and the seed. The pack should
be at least one inch thick and let this remain on until it has almost
dried out from the body heat, which would require four to four-and-one-half
hours. Make this pack sufficiently large to cover the whole abdomen.
Put the grapes on gauze." (5057-1)
4. Alum fusion
"Prepare this also in a fusion: Put 1/2 ounce of alum root in 4 ounces
of distilled water, and let come to a boil, then strain. Be sure
the alum root is crushed. Add to this, 1/2 ounce of simple syrup
and take 1 ounce of grain alcohol or rye whiskey and add. This is
only to be taken one teaspoon when there is cramping through the alimentary
canal or colon." (5057-1)
5. Wild ginseng prescription
"To two ounces of distilled water add a tablespoonful of pure honey
(not synthetic, but pure honey). Let this come to a boil, skimming
off the dross or sediment as it rises to the top. Then add to this
1/4 ounce of grain alcohol. Then add, in the order named:
Elixir (or fusion) of wild ginseng, 1/4 ounce
Wild ginger (essence or fusion), 1/4 ounce
Tincture of stillingia, 1/4 ounce
Elixir of lactated pepsin, 1/4 ounce
The dose would be half a teaspoonful in half a glass of water twice
each day - morning and evening.
This compound taken internally as a stimulant to the activities through
the alimentary canal, with the osteopathic corrections given, will gradually
make for not only the correcting of the condition but the eliminating
of the causes of same; and thus bring about a near normal or equal balance
in the functioning of the organs, as well as the glandular forces, and
clearing gradually the disturbance wherein the activities through the
whole of the alimentary canal may be eliminated and eradicated entirely
from the system." (2085-1)
6. Fusion of wild ginseng:
"Preparation: Put 5 drams of wild ginseng in a pint of distilled water.
Let this come to a boil, and boil until, when this is strained, there
is only 1/2 pint. This will be rather strong, but is needed in this
particular case.
Then make a fusion of this: Use 2 drams of wild ginger in 4 ounces
of distilled water. Let this come to a boil, and boil until there
[are] only 2 ounces left when strained.
Add these together and then add 4 ounces essence of lactated pepsin,
and I ounce of grain alcohol.
This should be taken in the beginning, one teaspoon every four hours
for two days. Of course don't arise at night to take this, but if
awake during the night take a dose, but not oftener than four hours apart."
7. Wild ginseng prescription from 5280-1:
"Fusion or essence of wild ginseng, 1 ounce
Essence of wild ginger, 1/2 ounce
Then add sufficient elixir of lactated pepsin to make 6 ounces.
Directions: Shake and take one teaspoonful twice a day or at about
9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m."
8. Pure beef juice:
Beef juice was referred to "as medicine" (5374-1)
or "almost as medicine" (II 00- 10). (See Appendix.) Instructions for
taking were explicit:
"Take at least a tablespoon during a day, or two tablespoonfuls.
But not as spoonfuls; rather sips of same. This, sipped in this
manner, will work towards producing the gastric flow through the intestinal
system..." (1100-10)
Should we not attempt to awaken the inner forces to
God's presence?
"For, all healing comes from the one source. And whether there
is the application of foods, exercise, medicine, or even the knife, it
is to bring the consciousness of the forces within the body that aid in
reproducing themselves - the awareness of creative or God forces." (2696-1)

I thought Nancy Bond's pictures of the eagle were very cool. Imagine looking out your front door to photograph a bald eagle! And all I get are gold finches and cardinals!
Gail's post resonated with me this week because of the sentiment she expressed. Much of my garden isn't looking like I want it to because of various factors - and often all I see are the bad things. Gail reminds us to not forget about the good things that make our gardens special to ourselves.
Meems in NYC wrote a post thinking about starting her own garden shed! Of course since I've been working on a similar project I thought her upcoming project is definitely worth following.
And if you would like to catch up on The Home Garden Posts this week here's the weekend wrap up!
Last weekend I tackled a couple projects. One was a plant holding bin/raised bed and the other a birdhouse. The plant holding bin took some time to complete but having a place to put extra plants and the results of my home plant propagating will be very helpful. Another project completed this week was a second raised bed made for housing my strawberry plants. It's a raised bed garden that is built into the slope to give the garden a tiered effect.
Another post mentioned layering as a plant propagation method. Two plants in my garden layered this week to provide me with a couple more free!
I also announced the winner of the organic weed killer products and told you about some little tulip poplars that need new homes.

Arianna Huffington Addresses The Future of AOL (VIDEO)
Huffington and AOL CEO Tim Armstrong appeared on 'Piers Morgan Tonight' (Weeknights, 9PM ET on CNN), where they spoke about the deal, and the future of AOL.
Morgan wanted to know if AOL was going to start charging for content, noting that his ex-boss, News Corp's Rupert Murdoch, believes that charging readers to access online content is the only way forward.
Huffington disagreed, saying that, "People are used to getting their news for free. The only thing people are willing to pay for on the Internet are specific financial information that they can monetize and, don't ask me why, but they are willing to pay for weird porn."
So, you can rest easy: This means that TV Squad won't be charging for content any time soon. (And we won't be featuring any weird porn, either.)

A Debian user complained that if you use a wildcard as input file name, and the wildcard unexpectedly expands to two names, then rst2html will overwrite your files:
Would if be possible to add an option for not overwriting output files, that you could add to your configuration file, and later override from command line if needed?
David Goodger
I'm inclined to answer "won't fix" or "not a bug" here.
If we did add a --no-clobber option, I very much doubt anyone would use it before it's too late.
David Goodger
engelbert gruber
no-clobber is ok, but
is ...
David Goodger
Sure, --no-clobber & --clobber-ok/--go-ahead-and-clobber/--overwrite or something like that. But my opinion is YAGNI: you ain't gonna need it. Anybody who clobbers their input files using wildcards is not likely to know about or use such options. (PEBKAC)
Even if we did implement such an option, I would not make it the default.
We have better things to spend our time on. Unless somebody champions this issue, I vote to close/reject it.

exactly what a "no_clobber" config setting would do.
However, I would also like an "interactive" option, where it is possible to
just tell Docutils to continue if a system message results in a halt.
