March Madness: Vote for the Evil Eight!
Posted March 28, 2008 by Ryan Huling
Just when you thought things couldn't get any crazier, the quest to find the cruelest college in the country has revved up a notch! All 16 of last week's contenders proved tough teams to beat, but only 8 could advance, and despite some powerful showings from Pittsburgh, KSU, Washington State, OSU, Purdue, Hopkins, Vanderbilt, and the University of Washington, only the nastiest can move forward … so without further delay let's get down to narrowing the field even further as we prepare to put these vivisectors on the national stage in the Fatal Four next week!
Just like last week, I'll be highlighting what I consider to be the key matchup in this exciting tournament, and you can consult the cheat sheet to help determine who else to vote into the next round. Use the voting form or leave a comment to cast a vote for this week's Vilest Vivisectors in the Evil Eight!
Duke University vs. Texas A&M
Michael Platt, Duke
Like 'em or hate 'em, Duke University always puts forward a strong team, and for the past decade, that's been largely due to the work of their MVP, Michael Platt, who drills metal screws into monkeys' skulls, pushes electrodes into their brains, and implants wire coils under their eyelids. A similar winning technique has been made popular by UConn's David Waitzman—another strong contender in this tournament, so if we're lucky, we may see a classic Big East/ACC showdown in the finals this year. The published results of Mr. Platt's cruel experiments include such timeless pieces of knowledge as the fact that one rhesus macaque monkey will often look in the same direction as another rhesus macaque monkey, so there's no question that Michael's earning his keep! To vote for Michael Platt, use the form or leave a comment below.
Michelle Hook, Texas A&M
Texas A&M might traditionally be the underdog in this matchup, but don't make the mistake of underestimating Michelle Hook of Texas A&M University's Department of Psychology. Her medium of choice is rats, and from the sounds of it, there's not much she hasn't done when it comes to slicing and dicing these animals. Michelle's preferred technique involves cutting up the animals' spinal cords, injecting them with chili pepper solution, pushing them into restraint tubes, and electroshocking their hind legs. Hook's world-beating conclusion speaks for itself: "These data suggest that peripheral inflammation, accompanying spinal cord injuries, might have an adverse effect on recovery." You heard it here first, folks: Giving electric shocks to torture victims might slow down their recovery time! To vote for Michelle Hook, use the form or leave a comment below.

There are countless charities and funds for humans. And even if there weren't, humans are still able to help themselves. Animals are captivated from their homes and strapped to a cold table for hours as the scientists abuse them by injecting them with products and forcing them to smoke. Only to later cut them up and see what the effects were. If the animal survives, their put in a filthy cage to suffer from neglect and depression until their taken out for more testing. Their treating these living creatures as if their tools. Can you imagine a sibling or your best friend being taken away from you to be captivated for merciless abuse and testing for a new hair product?
When charities for humans do succeed, what do you think happens?
They kill more living creatures and digest their abused bodies. They drive cars and pollute the environment, melt the polar ice caps, cut down trees, selfishly demolish habitats of other living things to make buildings, and use everything that doesn't fit their personal need as a personal stepping stone until there are none left.
"And the reason we do tests on animals is to protect human life. If a rat dies, its not going to go to heaven or hell, it doesn't have a soul, and it doesn't have family and friends that will miss it."
Never in my life would I have thought that someone could be this clueless. I can't even say anything. This dipshit's just demeaning itself. I just feel sorry for who ever wrote this to be this ignorant.

"maybe YOU should step up and offer to be tested on"
Why should we? Your the one who wants to protect the animals from, so you should do it. I bet you would feel differently about it after that. I am not one of those people who doesn't respect vegetarians for the beliefs, and the fact that they have the self control to hold to their beliefs, but I do not respect organizations like this. Everyone is different, if we want to eat meat then let us, we won't stop you from eating vegetables. And the reason we do tests on animals is to protect human life. If a rat dies, its not going to go to heaven or hell, it doesn't have a soul, and it doesn't have family and friends that will miss it.

Although there might be a few who treat animals unfairly, the vast majority of researchers are required to have protocols to minimize or eliminate animal suffering. In addition, most in the field could make more money and get more respect in industry or other careers in medicine but they choose research because they want to make a difference. Most researchers I've worked with are very good people. There may be a couple of bad folks out there but most are very good. Yes, they use animals for their work but there is simply no other way. How about you walk through a children's hospital and see the kids with genetic disorders and say that we should stop working to help these people even though we are currently on track to do so. This research, like many other areas, requires the use of transgenic mice to see how those genes are expressed in vivo and through the course of development. You have to test the alteration of genes in a living organism, there's just no other way.
Also, does anyone really buy PETA's description of a scientists work? The idea that a researcher wrote up a proposal, was approved, funded, and supported by his or her colleagues as a collaborator to carry out a bunch of meaningless work that egregiously tortures animals as its scientific aim seems a little bit suspect.
Lastly, why does PETA attack scientists like this? Why use so much time and effort to attack a group of people who are largely hard-working, well meaning that are underpaid for the long hours they work to identify maybe a few bad eggs who should be punished? There's no lobby for these people. Think about how animals are treated by factory farms in the United States. I'm not saying that eating meat is ethically wrong, but I'm sure most people would want to see the animals in these factories at least have better living standards. Its also a good idea to eat less meat given that overproduction leads to greater pollution. Factory farming is a much harder target so even though there is meaningful change to be made there, they go against easier targets like researchers and foie gras farms because even though there's not much work to be done there they can feel good about themselves with they make a little progress. PETA has good intentions, but the way they put those intentions into practice is crap. We should all work together to make sure animals are treated better but why go after the people who have to have protocols to make sure animals aren't mistreated?
If you're so upset about animal testing in medicine, then next time you're sick or at the hospital you should deny any medial treatment that was tested on animals and stick to prayer. Good luck.
PS. Most people don't get E. Coli infections from eating meat because meat is often cooked. People more often get E. Coli infections drinking infected water or eating vegetables that were sprayed with infected water (vegetables are less often cooked when eaten). The infected water could be polluted by feces from farms or people (sewers leaking into water supplies)

Why do any of you care that PETA is supporting animal rights instead of human rights? There are hundreds and hundreds of human rights charities and organizations, and few animal rights ones. Someone has to be looking out for animal cruelty. And what's the point of testing on animals first? These drugs are FOR humans, so why shouldn't they be tested on humans? Why should animals be tested when it's not even anything that will benefit them? Animals, and I know this will be shocking to you, were NOT put here on earth to be our personal lab rats. They feel pain like you and I, but unlike you and I, they will have a hard time connecting their pain to the greater good. If you want these drugs tested and people saved so badly, maybe YOU should step up and offer to be tested on.
Also, I am a vegetarian, but I am not "pretentious," as that last one claims. I feel that it is MY right to not eat animals, without YOUR judgment, and to not only not devour some animal that most likely suffered terribly its whole short life, but also to protect myself from the diseases running rampant in the cows slaughtered in inhumane and dirty conditions. One only need look at Hallmark Meat Company as just one of hundreds of examples of these dirty and disgusting conditions. I hope you like your E. Coli, kids.

I would like to point out that Duke has the best primatology program in the country, possibly even in the world, and that although this Ryan person claims Dr. Platt is treating these animals completely inhumanely, Duke has actually been active in the protection of endangered species of primates and have been attempting to rejuvenate monkey populations that have been slowly dying. Ryan, I would like to nominate you for March Madness for the drowning of the polar bear, for the starvation of the cubs, for the melting of the ice caps, for the destruction of the Great Barrier Reef, for the acid rain that pollutes our waters and so detrimentally affects their pH levels, for the dry salmon runs, for the siltation, for the deforestation, for the erratic weather patterns that have caused such disasters as Hurricane Katrina, floods, typhoons, tornadoes, etc. Before you write someone else off as evil, look always to yourself. Sartre wrote how one man's actions are a reflection of all mankind's actions. Take responsibility for your own shit before blaming others. You want to talk animal cruelty? What about the idiots who were "animals rights activists" who burned down a facility for animal testing-with the animals all still inside? I'm thinking some of those animals would rather be living than burned to death. Ah, the irony and hypocrisy…

you guys are just a bunch of angry hiipies who probably sit around a fake camp fire eating tofu and singing dumb hippy music like dave matthews. just forget about all this animal rights crap, people will always eat meat because it tastes good!!!
2837 days ago
you people are rediculous. Although some researchers may not treat their animals in a humane manner, I am sure that you have not done all of the necessary backround work to say that these people whom you are naming are in fact "murderers". It is common protocol in science to test on animals before humans, and that should ALWAYS be the case in the event that some sort of horrible side effect shows up. Would you rather have other people be tested on or a common lab rat? If you think that people should be tested on then you should be the first ones in line volunteering. I know for a fact that many of today's life saving drugs were tested on animals first, and we all know that you use these medicines too. Why don't you use your efforts more constructively and raise money to aid the people in Myanmar who were ravaged so recently by a killer cyclone instead of worrying about animals. Hundreds of thousands of HUMANS are at risk of serious infection and death and all that you care about is the "evil eight". get real and get a life.

Snowball Recipe
I've been making these popular treats for 40 years, much to my family's delight. They look impressive with chocolate and coconut wrapped around a chewy marshmallow center, yet they're surprisingly simple to assemble.
- 1/2 cup butter, cubed
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons baking cocoa
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 32 squares)
- 3-1/2 cups flaked coconut, divided
- 32 to 35 large marshmallows
- 1. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside.
- 2. In a large saucepan, combine the butter, milk, cocoa and vanilla. Cook and stir over medium heat until butter is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat; stir in cracker crumbs and 1-1/2 cups coconut. Let stand until cool enough to handle.
- 3. Using moistened hands, wrap about 1 tablespoon of mixture around each marshmallow (dip hands in water often to prevent sticking). Roll in remaining coconut; place on prepared baking sheet. Cover and freeze until firm. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. May be frozen for up to 2 months. Yield: about 3 dozen.

If you're keeping score at home, in the past year ABC has killed All My Children, the soap synonymous with Susan Lucci. It cancelled producer Marc Cherry's epic show, Desperate Housewives and passed on the next series he developed for them, Devious Maids.
The network may regret all those moves because Lifetime has just picked up Cherry's Devious Maids, a saucy soap about five enterprising domestics who work in the palaces of the rich and famous in Beverly Hills. That of course is where LaLucci comes in with a starring role.
The large ensemble cast includes Roselyn Sanchez, Grant Show, Ana Ortiz, Tom Irwin, Judy Reyes, Brett Cullen, Dania Ramirez, Brianna Brown, Rebecca Wisocky and Drew Van Acker.

Renowned history and politics expert Douglas Brinkley talks conservationism at UCSC.
If you ever find yourself feeling cocky about all your achievements and accolades, contemplate Douglas Brinkley's life for a while. Among the Rice University history professor's accomplishments: He's CBS News' history commentator; he was selected as Rosa Parks' official biographer; he's Jack Kerouac's authorized biographer; he's the literary executor for Hunter S. Thompson; he's written several articles for Rolling Stone, including profiles on Ken Kesey, Norman Mailer and Kurt Vonnegut as well as a cover story on Bob Dylan; he's a contributing editor to Vanity Fair; his books include 1992's Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt Naval History Prize-winning "Driven Patriot," 1999's "The Unfinished Presidency" (believed by many to be largely responsible for Jimmy Carter's winning of the Nobel Peace prize) and 2006's Robert F. Kennedy Book Award winner "The Great Deluge"; he's a member of the Council on Foreign Relations; he was invited to the White House twice to discuss history with the president … and the list goes on.

Best Restaurant in Key Biscayne (2007)
Le Croisic French Bistro
Three memorable moments in Key Biscayne history:1. In 1513 Juan Ponce de Leon, poking around for the fountain of youth, discovered Key Biscayne instead. Confused, he named the island Santa Marta, filled his ships' barrels with water, and took off. 2. Some 450 years later Bebe Rebozo moved here. He was pals with Richard Nixon. 3. In 2001, Le Croisic, named after a small town in Brittany, opened its rustic café doors off Crandon Boulevard. It was mostly a crperie back then, and a wispy gold galette, filled with Mediterranean vegetables, is still prepared the Old World way with sarrasin, a Breton buckwheat that makes for an incomparably nutty batter. Nowadays, though, Croisic's menu goes way beyond crpes to encompass a wide vista of traditional bistro fare such as French onion soup, homemade foie gras terrine, crab quiche, a bouncy bouillabaise (only on Fridays), and a standout steak-frites the crisp, succulent, shoestring fries alone qualify Croisic for honors, especially when dunked into a supplemental side of tangy, tarragon-flecked béarnaise sauce. Nothing beats a Molire flambé of cognac and strawberries wrapped in a sweet crpe for dessert although the tarte tatin is exemplary too. Main courses are all kept below $30, service is friendly, the wine list is serviceable and unpretentious. As Molire would say: Ooh-la-la. Or was it Bebe Rebozo who said thatç

Foresters from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Michigan Technological University are examining more than 30,000 acres of state forest land for signs of the emerald ash borer and beech bark disease.
The state announced Monday that an ongoing process of harvesting ash and beech is an attempt to recover timber before trees are killed.
Emerald ash borer and beech bark disease are killing ash and beech in forests throughout the state. Each pest is specific to its host, only killing that particular tree species.
The emerald ash borer is an invasive pest.
Beech bark disease happens in two stages. It begins with tiny scale insects that feed on sap in the tree's thin bark. The scale injures the beeches, making them vulnerable to a fungus.

Marjorie Perloff
Lawrence SchwartzwaldOne of the foremost critics of contemporary, modern, and avant-garde poetry and poetics now writing in English, Marjorie Perloff has published numerous books, articles, and essays on issues ranging from digital poetics to philosophy, and her work has been translated into many languages, including Portuguese, Spanish, Slovenian, German, and French. Her first three books dealt with individual poets—W.B. Yeats, in Rhyme and Meaning in the Poetry of Yeats (1970), The Poetic Art of Robert Lowell (1973), and Frank O'Hara, in Poet Among Painters (1977; new edition 1997). With the publication of The Poetics of Indeterminacy: Rimbaud to Cage (1981), a book that has gone through a number of editions, she began an extensive exploration of avant-garde art movements and their inheritors. Collections such as The Futurist Moment: Avant-Garde, Avant-Guerre, and the Language of Rupture (1986; new edition, 1994), and more than a dozen subsequent books, including Unoriginal Genius: Poetry by Other Means in the New Century (2011), offer probing accounts of the politics and aesthetics of the avant-garde as it has gone through modernist and postmodernist iterations. Radical Artifice: Writing Poetry in the Age of Media (1992) has been used in classrooms studying digital poetics, and 21st Century Modernism (2002) is a manifesto of Modernist Survival. Key interviews with Perloff have been published as Poetics in a New Key (2014).
Perloff's many other books include works on philosophy, in Wittgenstein's Ladder (1996); the poetics of sound and recording technologies in The Sound of Poetry/The Poetry of Sound (2009), which she coedited with Craig Dworkin; and the cultural memoir The Vienna Paradox (2004). Her forthcoming book is called On the Margins of the Habsburg Empire: The Great War and the Making of Austro-Modernism. Much less well-known than the writers of the Weimar Republic, the post-World War I writers of the defunct Austo-Hungarian Empire—Krauss, Joseph Roth, Robert Musil, Elias Canetti, Paul Celan—many of them from provinces far removed from the capital, produced a distinctive Modernism of their own.
Perloff was educated at Oberlin College, Barnard College, and the Catholic University of America in Washington D.C. Before her retirement, she was Sadie D. Patek Professor of Humanities at Stanford University. She is also Florence Scott Professor Emerita of English at the University of Southern California. In 2009, she was the Weidenfeld Professor of European Literature at Oxford University, and she was recently was named Honorary Foreign Professor at the Beijing Modern Languages University. She teaches courses and writes on 20th- and 21st-century poetry and poetics, both Anglo-American and from a Comparativist perspective, as well as on intermedia and the visual arts.
She has been a frequent reviewer for periodicals from the Times Literary Supplement and The Washington Post to all the major scholarly journals, and she has lectured at most major universities in the U.S. as well as at European, Asian, and Latin American universities and festivals.
Perloff's many honors and awards include fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Huntington Foundation. She has served on the Advisory Board of the Stanford Humanities Center, and was President of the Modern Language Association in 2006. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society. She received an honorary degree from Bard College in 2008, and the Kelly Writers House at the University of Pennsylvania honored her with a special symposium; a varied set of the individual contributions to that 2012 symposium appeared in the online journal Jacket 2.

David C. Carpenter
This chapter is a discussion of the ways in which some of our most distinguished writers have talked about men and women. Among our own settlement fiction, a few books are destined to stay with us long after their creators have passed on. But much of our settlement fiction is doomed to a very short life indeed. One of the reasons that enduring novels are praised by generations upon generations of readers is that the people in them live in the mind's eye and seem to bespeak certain realities that are contained in all of us. The Tom Joneses, the Sam Slicks, the Huck Finns, the Sara Mondays, Becky Sharps, and Uriah Heeps do more than satisfy the intellectual's demand for historical accuracy. They affect us.
Much of our own settlement fiction may be faithful to the region it describes. But if it is to affect us, it will do so in ways which transcend merely regional considerations. Grove's Settlers of the Marsh seems destined to be with us for a long time, for instance. But its success hardly seems to have much to do with Grove's knowledge of rural Manitoba settlement history, or his encyclopedic knowledge of farm machinery, or his agricultural background. Most of us would agree that it has much to do with his creation of people like Niels Lindstedt. In fact, it is likely that the book's enduring qualities reside in the often tragic and occasionally beautiful details of Lindstedt's relationships with Mrs. Lund, Clara, and Ellen. For instance, Grove's creation of Clara, the dark woman, and Ellen, the creature of light, as projections of Niels Lindstedt's love, is at times a fascinating account. The two women provide an illumination into Niels' conflict

The Directorate of Technical Support issues Hazard Information Bulletins (HIBs) in accordance with OSHA Instruction CPL 2.65 to provide relevant information regarding unrecognized or misunderstood safety and health hazards, and/or inadequacies of materials, devices, techniques and engineering controls. HIBs are initiated based on information provided by the field staff, studies, reports and concerns expressed by safety and health professionals, employers and the public. Information is compiled based on a comprehensive evaluation of available facts, literature and in coordination with appropriate parties. HIBs do not necessarily reflect OSHA policy.
Recently, it was brought to our attention that possible safety and health risks may arise with the practice of using polyethylene bottles to store and dispense corrosive chemicals over a long period of time. A U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) bulletin indicates that the normal life expectancy of a polyethylene bottle used for handling corrosive chemicals may be less than one year. According to the DOE bulletin, a chemist at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant (ICPP) suffered chemical burns while dispensing a concentrated corrosive chemical from a two year old polyethylene bottle. Fortunately, the employee was wearing protective clothing which limited the severity of injury.
Polyethylene bottles are readily available, convenient, and generally considered to be safer to use than their glass counterparts. They are extensively used for storage and dispensing most chemicals. Under normal conditions polyethylene bottles can be used almost indefinitely. However, based on DOE's findings precautions must be taken when using such bottles. The users of polyethylene bottles containing corrosive chemicals should follow the following minimum recommendations:

Rocket's Tail
That November night, looking up into the sky,
You said,
"Hey, wish that was me up there--
It's the biggest rocket I could find,
And it's holding the night in its arms
If only for a moment.
I can't see the look in its eyes,
But I'm sure it must be laughing."
But it seemed to me the saddest thing I'd ever seen,
And I thought you were crazy, wishing such a thing.
I saw only a stick on fire,
Alone on its journey
Home to the quickening ground,
With no one there to catch it.
I put on my pointed hat
And my black and silver suit,
And I check my gunpowder pack
And I strap the stick on my back.
And, dressed as a rocket on Waterloo Bridge--
Nobody seems to see me.
Then, with the fuse in my hand,
And now shooting into the night
And still as a rocket,
I land in the river.
Was it me said you were crazy?
I put on my cloudiest suit,
Size 5 lightning boots, too.
'Cause I am a rocket
On fire.
Look at me go, with my tail on fire,
With my tail on fire,
On fire.
Hey, look at me go, look at me...

Carrmen was being tutored because of her falling grades as a freshman in college. She was tasked to revise one of her papers and when her tutor, Danny, waltzed back into the room to check on her progress, he found her thumbing through a magazine and having an utter disregard for anything scholastic at all. She ignored him, treated him very rudely and was being a totally spoiled brat until Danny mentioned he would tell her father all about it and let him deal with it. He was sure her father would not be at all pleased and that could quite possible effect her weekly college allowance. Carrmen begged and pleaded for him to give her another chance but Danny would not relent. She finally offered him something he could not refuse. Danny not only made sure Carrmen hit the books hard, but also hit that ass hard and fast. She not only secured his silence but also got Danny to do all her homework as well.

And you know them smokin' bitches rolling reefer got me open
Lyric Meaning
A reefer is slang for a joint, which is smoked. Nice pun by A$AP, who blows the smoke inhaled from a reefer out of his mouth, and also gets "blown" by a lady friend. A$AP is hooked on the marijuana, much like he's got his bitch "open", or hooked, on him.

UCHealth's lung transplant program began in 1991 under the direction of Frederick L. Grover, MD and Martin Zamora, MD. Since then, we've helped hundreds of patients lead fuller lives through lung transplant surgery.
Our program is based at University of Colorado Hospital (UCH) in metro Denver, which is ranked among the top research hospitals in the nation.
Our transplant patients have access to the latest scientific and technological advancements that lead to better outcomes.
A lung transplant may be the only option for someone with lung disease who has not responded to conventional treatment and whose survival is predicted at less than two years.
Read story: UCH helps woman breathe easier with new set of lungs.
Before you receive a lung transplant, you'll have a series of tests to determine your current health. After these tests are performed, various members of the transplant medical team will conduct a thorough evaluation.
Following this, your case will be presented to the Lung Transplant Candidate Selection Committee. The committee is made up of transplant program doctors, surgeons, nurse coordinators, social workers, clergy, and psychiatrists. They determine whether lung transplant surgery is safe for you. They also will discuss an optimal plan of care for you after transplant. It will take approximately one to two weeks to review your case.
Your transplant coordinator will inform you of the committee's decision and plan.
Once you are accepted for transplant, your information is entered on the active lung transplant waiting list, and the search begins for a new lung(s) for you.
The UCH Transplant Program follows the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) system for prioritizing transplant candidates. UNOS is a nationwide network supervised by the federal government to help ensure that all patients receive healthy organs as soon as they become available. All transplant centers in the United States belong to UNOS.
For this system to work, it relies on organ procurement organizations, called OPOs. OPOs match and distribute donated organs, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The OPO in our region is Donor Alliance (DA). DA is responsible for the coordination, retrieval, and distribution of organs in Colorado and Wyoming.
If all candidates are of similar degrees of illness, the donor organ is offered to the person with the longest waiting time.
Donated organs are distributed locally first. If no suitable match exists in the local area, the organ is offered regionally and then nationally.
During the waiting period, you will begin a pulmonary rehabilitation program. A rehabilitation specialist and pulmonologist will design an exercise program to improve your muscle strength and endurance. This will help you to have a more successful recovery after your transplant. Your pulmonologist will keep the transplant surgeon and coordinator informed about changes in your condition.
If you live far away from UCH, your care may be managed by your primary care doctor. However, it's important that you see a transplant center cardiologist on a monthly basis. You will also will be given guidelines about diet and exercise.
Every patient on the waiting list may be randomly screened for drugs or alcohol at any time. The screening test may be done using a blood or urine sample. Anyone who tests positive for alcohol or illegal drugs will be removed from the waiting list.
After you receive a call to come to the hospital, do not drink or eat anything because your stomach should be empty for surgery. When you arrive, you'll be admitted to the transplant unit where preparation for surgery begins.
Surgery will not begin until the donor lung(s) arrives at the hospital and is examined by the transplant surgeon and determined to be acceptable. Once the decision to proceed with the surgery has been made, you will be given an anesthetic to put you to sleep during transplantation.
Single Lung Transplant
An incision is made on the side of your chest that will receive the transplant. Your diseased lung is removed and replaced with the new organ. During the transplant, you will breathe with only one lung.
If you cannot breathe well enough, you may be placed on a cardiopulmonary bypass machine. The bypass machine will take over the work of your lung by putting oxygen into your blood and removing carbon dioxide from your blood.
After the new lung is in place, chest tubes will be placed to remove any extra fluid from the area and your incision is closed. A single lung transplant lasts approximately four hours.
Bilateral (Double) Lung Transplant
An incision is made across your entire chest at the base of your breasts. Each lung is replaced separately. The most diseased lung is removed first and replaced with the new organ. During the first transplant, you will breathe with your other lung.
After first new lung is in place, the same process is used to replace your other disease lung. Cardiopulmonary bypass may be used during the second phase of the transplant to reduce stress on your heart and the new lung. Chest tubes will be placed to remove any extra fluid from the area and your incision closed. A bilateral lung transplant lasts approximately six to eight hours.
After surgery, you'll be taken to a private room in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for recovery. You'll have a breathing tube that's hooked up to a respirator to help you breathe and will remain on the respirator from 24 to 48 hours. You'll be given medication to keep you sleepy and unable to move.
Depending on your condition, your medication will be decreased, and you'll gradually be able to breathe on your own without the respirator. Once you can breathe on your own, the breathing tube will be removed.
A respiratory therapist will help you do breathing exercises and coughing to get you stronger and prevent pneumonia. Your stay in the ICU will usually last two to three days, but may be longer depending on your condition.
From the ICU, you'll go to a room in a specialized transplant unit where you'll begin a closely monitored recovery process. You'll work with the pulmonary rehabilitation specialist and physical therapist to improve your strength and conditioning.
You'll need Glanciclovir, an IV medication to prevent viral infections, for one month after surgery. Since you'll be at home for a portion of this time, a tube called a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC line) will be placed below your elbow so that you can administer the medication at home.
Your stay in the specialized transplant unit usually lasts three to 10 days depending on your condition.
Members of your medical team will monitor you closely for the first several months after you leave the hospital. You will not be allowed to drive for at least six weeks. Because most complications are seen in the first few months, we recommend you wait six months after transplant surgery before planning a vacation or long-distance trip.
If you are from out of town, we request that you stay in the Denver area for approximately three months after your surgery. After that time, your transplant coordinator will arrange for your long-term follow-up care to be managed by your local doctor and lab facility.
Your PICC line will remain in place until you have completed a one-month course of Glanciclovir. A nurse will visit your home to assist you with flushing and changing the dressing of your PICC line.
You'll be given the proper equipment and teaching for monitoring these items at home.
The two most common problems after a lung transplant are rejection and infection.
You will be prescribed important medications to help prevent these problems. Avoid large crowds for the first four-to-six weeks, always avoid people with infectious diseases, and wear a mask when in crowds or entering the hospital.
You'll receive a complete list of symptoms that may indicate a complication. Report any signs to your transplant team immediately.
Regular blood tests, biopsies, and examinations will help detect any problems early so your transplant team can correct or treat them. Initially, you will need to return for appointments and procedures twice a week for the first few weeks and then weekly for the next few months.
You'll also have a series of bronchoscopy procedures for the first year after transplant. In a bronchoscopy, a specialist removes small pieces of your lung, which are then examined by a pathologist for signs of rejection. The biopsies are not painful and only require numbing medication.
Long-term medical follow-up is extremely important so that any problems can be detected early.
Exercise for transplant patients has been shown to increase endurance and muscle strength, enhance bone remodeling, and reduce the need for anti-hypertension medication.
The pulmonary rehabilitation program will assist you in setting up an exercise program that is right for you. Initially, your exercise program will include walking as much as possible several times a day. Other activities can be added to your exercise program gradually as your doctor allows.
Proper nutrition is also critical for post-transplant patients. Certain medications you take will affect the way your body processes food. You will receive medication guidelines related to your diet.
Your dietitian at the hospital will help you create meal plans that are both nutritious and low in calories. Following your diet is important to the total rehabilitation process and to maintaining good health throughout your life.

Kidney/Pancreas Transplant Process
Phase One: Referral & Evaluation
A transplant nurse coordinator will collect the appropriate medical records and schedule a transplant evaluation. Each patient is assigned a transplant nurse coordinator to facilitate communication through the entire transplant process.
The patient will have a comprehensive evaluation by all members of our transplant team, including the transplant physicians, transplant surgeons, transplant nurse coordinators, and may include dietitians, anesthesiologists, psychologists, social workers and financial coordinators. Appropriate testing also will be performed. Based on a thorough evaluation, the team will determine if the patient is a candidate for transplant.
Phase II: Patient Listed & Awaiting Transplant
Transplant candidates are placed on a transplant waiting list through the
United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS)
UNOS assists with the matching and sharing of organs throughout the U.S. This national list prioritizes organ allocation on the basis of the severity of illness, length of stay, blood type and geographic location. A patient on a transplant waiting list may be called at any time when a donor organ becomes available.
Phase III: Transplantation
Once an organ is available for transplantation, the patient is notified by one of the transplant coordinators. The patient goes to Barnes-Jewish Hospital and is admitted to the transplant floor. After the transplant, the transplant team will follow the patient closely during recovery. In the first few weeks after being discharged from the hospital, the patient will be seen frequently in our outpatient clinic. The patient will need to stay near the hospital for the first few weeks of observation.
Phase IV: Follow-up after Transplantation
Once the patient is home, there will be regular contact with the nurse coordinator, and the patient will return periodically to Barnes-Jewish Hospital for follow-up exams. Over time, more routine care will be transitioned to the primary care physician. For continuity of care and to ensure the best outcomes, we follow our patients for the life of their transplant.

Searching for the Disappeared in Coahuila
A new piece I wrote for Warscapes.
August 8, 2015
This Mother's Day, Hortensia Rívas Rodriguez wasn't at home enjoying brunch with her family. Instead, she traveled from her home in Piedras Negras to join thousands of other mothers searching for their disappeared children in Mexico. Rivas Rodriguez, a retired police officer, founded a group called the Association of Families United in Searching and Finding Disappeared People in August, 2013, just over a month after her son Víctor Manuel Guajardo disappeared.
Since its founding, the group has gone from representing eleven families to including over 160 cases of forced disappearances in a region directly across the border from Eagle Pass, Texas, that includes the city of Piedras Negras, and the towns of Allende, Morelos, Nava, Villa Unión, and Zaragoza. Rivas claims that in less than two years, her group has managed to find around eighty of those disappeared. Some were found dead. Others were tracked down to police stations, army bases, and prisons where they were found alive, but tortured and beaten by government officials.
Rivas Rodriguez' son Víctor was taken from his house while his wife and children watched. The kidnappers were members of Coahuila's elite SWAT team (Special Weapons and Tactics Group-GATE), which was formed in 2009. When Rivas went to the GATE's headquarters in Piedras Negras, she was received by one of the men who participated in the disappearance of her son. She managed to catch a glimpse of Víctor in one of their vehicles, but has never heard anything since.
"I know, we all know, it's an open secret what is happening in Coahuila," said Rivas in an interview in Mexico City, and it has to do with the SWAT team operating in the state. The GATEs "are a group that the governor allowed to operate in Coahuila, to increase security, he said. But in reality, what they're doing is disappearing. They are the criminals, because it is them who took my son, all of our disappeared, the majority, were taken by [the GATEs]. It is the authorities, that's what is happening in Coahuila." (more…)
Tlatlaya, Ayotzinapa, Apatzingán: State Terror in Mexico
Dear friends,
Here's a recent piece I did about events in Tlatlaya, Ayotzinapa, Apatzingán and what they might mean in the context of the War on Drugs in Mexico.
Tlatlaya, Ayotzinapa, Apatzingán: State Terror in Mexico
Dawn Paley, Warscapes
May 13, 2015
The first attack came at 2:30am on January 6, 2015. Federal Police opened fire on members of the Fuerzas Rurales, who were protesting in the central square of Apatzingán, in Michoacán. The Fuerzas Rurales were born of the co-optation of part of the autodefensa movement, the armed uprising in rural Michoacan that caught the world's attention last January. The men were protesting the fact that they hadn't been paid.
According to a report by journalist Laura Castellanos, eyewitnesses heard a shout from the Federal Police before they opened fire: "Kill them like dogs." An unknown number of people were killed, some with their hands up, down on their knees.
Six hours later Federal Police attacked again just down the street from City Hall, this time opening fire on trucks carrying members of the Fuerzas Rurales and their families.
An anonymously posted YouTube video shows the carnage. One man in a red-striped shirt lays face-up on the road. A pool of blood connects him with two other men. He moves his left arm as if scratching his head. The other two lay completely still. All three are on the driver's side of a bullet-ridden white pick-up. Behind the truck lay two other men, one on his stomach, the other on his back.
Between the two attacks that day, at least sixteen people were murdered by Federal Police in Apatzingán. Dozens more were injured. In a macabre twist, two of the wounded men were dumped on the sidewalk in front of a hospital by bystanders who rescued them. Neither has been seen since.
The official version of events claimed that there were nine deaths in total, and that the killings resulted from "friendly fire" or "crossfire" between Fuerzas Rurales and police. That version held nationally for over three months, until Castellanos released her investigative piece in late April which blew through the government's line.
Events in Apatzingán mark the third time since last June that federal forces in Mexico are known to have participated in massacres and mass disappearances. (more…)
Drug War Capitalism in 3 Minutes
Couple of updates linked to some media coverage of Drug War Capitalism.
The talented folks at AJ+ just put out a short video interview with me about recent events.
I can't get it to embed here, but you can watch it on YouTube by clicking here.
I also did a Q&A with the folks at the UBC School of Journalism, where I studied before embarking on the book project.
Next week I go on tour on the east coast… Check here for details.
Update on Drug War Capitalism & Don't Just Decriminalize, Demilitarize
Hey folks!
It's been a busy time, but I thought I'd write up a short update. I am less than 10 days away from putting the last touches on the manuscript for Drug War Capitalism before it goes to the printer. Right now myself and the lovely folks at AK Press are in the excruciatingly tedious and yet crucially important proofing stage. The book will be printed by November, and I'll do the first launch at the Howard Zinn Memorial Bookfair in San Francisco. After that I plan to tour with the book on the west coast, in December I'll visit the east coast, and in January, Arizona and south Texas. If you have tips or ideas for the tour you can email me at (all together) dawn paley at gmail dot com.
A couple days ago I did a short interview with teleSUR English about the new Global Commission report on drugs, folks might be interested in checking that out, which you can do here. Below, a short excerpt from the article:
"We should use a new metric to understand the success of Plan Colombia, one that examines how it benefits transnational capital," Paley told teleSUR English. "If we were to examine the results of Plan Colombia based on how it deepened neoliberalism in Colombia, we would have to recognize that it was a success. This was exactly what inspired the Merida Initiative in Mexico and other, similar drug war policies elsewhere."
On top of finishing the book and so on I also recently started a PhD program in Mexico, during which I plan to work on a second book that deals with clandestine mass graves and exhumation in Mexico from 2007 to present. But more on that another time!
Thanks everyone for your ongoing support and patience,
Review: Border Patrol Nation
I did this review recently for Upside Down World.
Todd Miller. Border Patrol Nation: Dispatches from the Front Lines of Homeland Security. City Lights Books, 2013.
These are wild times to be a border cop. They have big salaries, new toys, and all kinds of powers to roam the country racially profiling people, and detaining those without proof that they crossed the border legally. An increasing number of agents are returned combat vets who fought in Afghanistan or Iraq, who bring warlike attitudes to their work in the U.S. But this (mostly) boy's club is not without its drawbacks: it is also a place permeated by a culture of militaristic racism where having a different opinion can get you blacklisted.
Border Patrol Nation, Todd Miller's first book, is an in-depth look at how border enforcement has expanded drastically following 9-11. Since then, he reports, the government has spent $791 billion on Homeland Security, the agency responsible for border control. Miller convincingly argues that the expanding phenomenon of militarized border control is something that should concern all of us. He reports that in 2012, "The $18 billion spent on border and immigration enforcement outdoes all other federal law enforcement bodies combined including the FBI, Secret Service, Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Marshal Service, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives." The money is also flowing outside of the U.S., to agents and client states in order to tighten their borders and prevent migration north.
The statistics are staggering. Border Patrol Nation details that prior to 1986, there were rarely more than 2,000 people deported each year. "By the late 1990s, the U.S. government was deporting more than 40,000 people annually, still only a fraction of what we see today. By the early 2010s, Homeland Security was expelling well over 400,000 people per year from the United States." This drastic increase in deportations has taken place just as a variety of U.S. states, most famously Arizona, but also Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina, and Utah have passed laws obliging local and state police to enforce immigration law.

Recuerdos represivos: terror, insurgencia y la guerra del narco
Aquí la traducción de un articulo que escribi por Occupied London el año pasado. Para ver más fotos, visita la página de SubVersiones. Por Dawn Paley. Traducción: Nicolás Olucha Sánchez. Fotografías: Heriberto Paredes.
En 2010 y en 2011 varias granadas de mano explotaron en los ayuntamientos de Reynosa, Matamoros, Nuevo Laredo y Ciudad Victoria, cuatro localidades fronterizas mexicanas en el estado de Tamaulipas.
Se señaló al crimen organizado como autor de las explosiones, concretamente a miembros de los Zetas o del Cártel del Golfo. Visité la zona a comienzos de 2011, intentando averiguar qué podría estar conduciendo a grupos de delincuentes a enfrentarse a los gobiernos locales que, a efectos, están bajo su control.
Las piezas no comenzaron a encajar hasta que conocí a Francisco Chavira Martínez en 2011. La primera vez que quedamos propuso que fuéramos a comer a un restaurante de Reynosa conocido por sus huéspedes de altos vuelos. Camareros con esmoquin a lo pingüino iban y venían con bandejas mientras las demás mesas estaban, en su mayoría, ocupadas por hombres mayores. Chavira hablaba en voz alta y sin miedo. Entrevisté al menos a doce personas más, pero Chavira fue el único de todos los entrevistados que permitió que su nombre real fuera utilizado.
Los gobiernos locales "utilizan lo que es los roba-carros para todo aquel que esta en contra de ellos, les mandan a robar su carro, los ladrones de casa, los ladrones domiciliarios que le llaman, entran a robar tu casa para espantarte, los narcotraficantes, que los utilizan ellos como una forma de que la gente tenga miedo, para que no participes, para que no alces la voz, para que no estés en contra del gobierno, incluso se mandan ellos mismos a tirar granadas a las presidencias municipales", relató Chavira.[1]
Quizá vio mi incredulidad reflejada en el rostro. Todavía no había captado la mecánica del terror y los intereses a los que sirve. "¿Por qué?" Se preguntó a sí mismo, para hacer una pausa acto seguido. "Para que la gente se asuste y no vaya a exigir a la presidencia, ni exijas transparencia de las cuentas publicas, en qué se gastan el dinero, por que si no, si lo hago, me van a matar, me van a meter una granada." Meses después de nuestra entrevista, Chavira, candidato del Partido Revolucionario Democrático (RPD), presuntamente de carácter izquierdista, fue arrestado bajo falsas acusaciones y encarcelado hasta que pasaron las elecciones, un episodio que él describió como un "secuestro legalizado" por parte del Estado.
La segunda vez que me reuní con Chavira fue dos años después, en 2013. Nos encontramos casualmente frente a la puerta de la embajada estadounidense en México D. F. en una manifestación organizada por familiares y amigos de migrantes que trabajan en los Estados Unidos sin papeles. Nos dirigimos a una cafetería cercana y le hice una pequeña entrevista. Mientras íbamos de camino se maravillaba de poder caminar tranquilamente por la calle sin miedo, algo impensable en su ciudad de origen.
Las palabras que Chavira me brindó en aquel encuentro requieren una pequeña introducción. La versión oficial de la guerra del narco o guerra contra las drogas, la cual, los gobiernos y los medios de comunicación no paran de repetir una y otra vez, es que la guerra que hay en México es entre los malos (los traficantes de drogas) y los buenos (la policía y el ejército, que cuentan con el apoyo de Estados Unidos, Canadá y países de la Unión Europea). Según esta versión de los hechos, los "malos" siguen la siguiente estructura jerárquica: en lo alto de la pirámide están los capos o señores de la droga, luego vienen los generales o jefes de seguridad, los cuales protegen al jefe y sus zonas; después vienen los jefes de plaza, jefes locales que se encargan de una zona fronteriza en particular o de una zona de distribución concreta.
Esta versión (que es la principal) es lo que yo llamo el discurso sobre la guerra entre cárteles. Este discurso posee unos rasgos reseñables: confianza casi exclusiva en las fuentes de información gubernamentales y/o estatales, creencia en que todos son culpables hasta que se demuestre lo contrario y que hay víctimas que se ven envueltas en tráfico de drogas y una amplia percepción de que los policías implicados en actividades delictivas son la excepción y no la norma, y que más presencia policial aumenta la seguridad.[2]
Hace algo más de dos años que comencé a informar e investigar sobre las diferentes facetas de la transformación que vive México, que en mi opinión es una especie de contrarrevolución y una prolongación del Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte que se lleva a cabo mediante un intenso proceso de militarización. Una vez que uno analiza las consecuencias sociales y económicas de la "guerra del narco", las versiones oficiales de lo que sucede dejan de tener sentido casi por completo. Dichas versiones tratan de oscurecer la dinámica real en lugar de arrojar luz. Lo que aprendo de gente como Chavira es lo que me permite conocer lo que realmente sucede en este México en guerra.

Repressive Memories: terror, insurgency, and the drug war
Here's a short essay I wrote for Occupied London's fifth issue…
Repressive Memories: terror, insurgency, and the drug war
Published October 24, 2013
In 2010 and 2011, grenades exploded at city hall buildings in Reynosa, Matamoros, Nuevo Laredo and Ciudad Victoria, four cities in the Mexican border state of Tamaulipas.
Organized crime was blamed for the explosions, particularly members of the Zetas or of the Gulf Cartel. I visited the region in early 2011, at a loss for what could be driving criminal groups to fight against local governments that are, for all intents and purposes, under their control.
It wasn't until I met Francisco Chavira Martínez in early 2011 that things began to become clear. The first time we met, he suggested we eat together at the back of a Reynosa restaurant that caters to well-heeled locals. Waiters dressed like penguins bowed in and out, while other tables were occupied mostly by older men. Chavira spoke loudly, unafraid. He was the only person out of over a dozen I interviewed in the city who agreed to let me use his real name.
Local governments "use car thieves to steal the cars of anyone who opposes them; house thieves who will rob your house to frighten you; narcotraffickers, who they use as a way to create fear in the people, so that you don't participate, so that you don't raise your voice or go against the government; they even send their own to throw grenades at city halls," Chavira explained.1
Maybe he noticed the quizzical look on my face. I didn't yet grasp how terror works, and the purposes it serves. "Why?" he asked himself, pausing for a moment. "So that the people are scared and don't go to City Hall to make demands; they won't go and demand that public accounts be transparent, or [ask] what the money is being spent on." Months after our interview, Chavira, a candidate for the left-leaning Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD), was arrested on trumped up charges and held in jail until after the elections, in what he referred to as a "legalised kidnapping" by the state.
The second time I met with Chavira was two years later, in early 2013. We ran into each other in front of the US embassy in Mexico City at a demonstration organized by families and friends of people who are working without papers in the US. I took him to a nearby café where we did a short interview. While we walked he marveled at how wonderful it felt to be able to walk down the street without fear, something no longer possible in his hometown.
Chavira's comments to me that afternoon need some introduction. (more…)
Stay Solid! A Radical Handbook for Youth
I recently had the good fortune to contribute a short essay to Stay Solid! A Radical Handbook for Youth, edited by Matt Hern and the Purple Thistle Collective and published by AK Press. My piece is really short and regular readers of my work will be familiar with the thrust of it. Stay Solid is a big book with nice large print, filled with insightful essays, images, letters, and short pieces like mine, which I'm reposting below. Highly recommended if you're out looking for a little something for a teenager or young adult in your life.
Maybe you've heard of something called the war on drugs. Maybe not. Either way, here's a sketch: words "war on drugs" were first uttered disgraced U.S. President Richard Nixon in 1969. The logic of the war on drugs is based around the idea of prohibition, or that making certain narcotics illegal protects the population.
Prohibition is based on moral and social panics, and not based on science or medical research, which has generally pointed to the fact that drug addiction is a medical issue and not a criminal issue.
Z-40 is a product of the US drug war
Hey folks, click here to read my latest article, which is an analysis of the take-down of Z-40 published in Vice Magazine. Pueden leer una versión publicada en español aquí.
Last week's capture of Miguel Ángel Treviño Morales made news all over the world, and was celebrated in the mainstream press as a blow against Los Zetas and a decimation of their leadership. The New York Times went so far as to claim his capture could represent a "crossroads" in the four-decade war on drugs.
These media reports are mainly based on anonymous official sources and analysts who spend too much time on YouTube. Thankfully, there are still some people out there whose bullshit detectors work. These are the folks who can help us get beyond the official line and understand the on-the-ground impact of apprehending a guy nicknamed Z-40 and putting him in jail.
First, it's important to have a sense of Treviño's true role in the organization, a nuance that seems to escape even the most hardened stay-at-home keyboard warrior analysts. I asked Guadalupe Correa Cabrera, who teaches in the governance department at the University of Texas in Brownsville, across the river from Matamoros, Tamaulipas, if the mainstream media has oversold the importance of men like Treviño Morales and the role of hired killers within Los Zetas.
"The problem is the media is looking at the lil sicario as if he were the whole organization," said Cabrera. She's writing a book titled Zetas Inc., where she compares their structure and operations to that of a corporation. The way she sees it, the assassins who work for the Zetas are basically like a marketing department, and, far from a cartel overseer, Treviño Morales was more like a top salesman. (more…)
Scahill's 'Dirty Wars' Offers Lessons for Latin America
My review of Dirty Wars, published by Upside Down World.
Scahill, Jeremy. Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield. Perseus Books, 2013. (Epub edition).
Though Jeremy Scahill's latest book, Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield, is firmly rooted in the Arab world, it is a valuable volume for those wishing to better understand how current and past events in Mexico and Central and South America connect to the so-called war on terror.
A must-read for anyone wanting to learn more about the US drone wars and targeted kill programs, Dirty Wars is a bit slow going off the top, but before long, Scahill introduces compelling characters and provides readers with access to entire families who have been adversely impacted by US war policies in Yemen and elsewhere.
Dirty Wars also contains a number of items of specific interest to folks whose interests lie south of the US border.
Using carefully gathered evidence, Dirty Wars makes it clear that American military campaigns do little more than exacerbate existing situations. Sadly, this is as true in the Western hemisphere as it is in the Middle East.
Scahill carefully documents how the militaristic approach taken by the US government towards perceived terror threats in Somalia, Yemen and elsewhere has served to drive up the influence of local armed groups.
"By 2004, the [CIA's] outsourced Somalia campaign was laying the groundwork for a spectacular series of events that would lead to an almost unthinkable rise in the influence of al Qaeda in the Horn of Africa," writes Scahill. He later describes how Ethiopian and US special forces intensified their attacks on members of Somalia's Islamic Courts Union, in January 2007. This aggression created a welcoming climate for al Qaeda: "With the Somali ICU leaders on the run, al Qaeda saw Somalia as an ideal front line for jihad and began increasing its support for al Shabab."
Reading from Mexico, one cannot help but be reminded of how the US campaigns against drug traffickers in one region inevitably result in a strengthening of the same groups in another part of the same region. (more…)

Sitting at the Atlanta airport yesterday afternoon, I got such a call from a reporter for the Daily Beast asking me to compare Sarah Palin's appearances in the run-up to Tuesday's elections with those of Mitt Romney.
I said that was the wrong question. The correct question, I said, was to compare Sarah Palin's appearances with those of Barack Obama.
MY DEAR Mr. Mullings:
How DARE you mention Sarah Palin and Barack Obama in the same sentence, much less as equals.
The National Association to Protect the Obama Myth (NAPOM)
Yeah. Well …
Obama is bringing out huge crowds in places where people aren't going to vote. Notably college campuses. Makes for great TV, but crappy politics as we pointed out the other day.
The White House press shop breathlessly reports to an adoring press corps the size of the crowd by counting every person in the hall, every person registered to vote as a Democrat in the county, and maybe every person in the ZIP code.
The press corps, in turn, suspends disbelief and reports the number that the White House press shop gave them so that the American public can marvel about just how popular President Obama continues to be.
This is called: Intellectual Garbage Recycling.
It is no secret that Sarah Palin is a personality with enormous public appeal. Forget about the stories that show she is hard to work with because she doesn't have a huge staff helping to figure out her scheduling logistics three months in advance.
If she did have an large staff, there would be story after story about how she has surrounded herself with a posse of disciples, able and willing to react to her every whim and desire.
Sort of like the President's staff.
Because there is no Secret Service and no taxpayer-funded political advance men and women running around with ear-pieces and radios at a Palin event, it is far more difficult to judge how many people are packed into a high-school gym, or a community auditorium.
One of the reasons the Palin coverage has been reduced is because it became obvious that she was not living up to her reputation (nor expectations) of being a scatterbrained embarrassment to the Republican Party. It became much more useful for the press corps to press its case against the Tea Party movement by switching its focus from Palin to Christine O'Donnell.
You don't think there's an agenda? Let's pretend O'Donnell doesn't have a very good chance of winning the race for U.S. Senator in Delaware next Tuesday; just for the sake of my making this point.

Not because it steers clear of what looks like a crush-triangle. But because it looks like it's injected some horror sensibilities into the...

Chairman and Commissioner, Indian Premier League
Brash and ambitious, Lalit Modi took daylong games of cricket and squeezed them into three hours. Then he added music, cheerleaders, and Bollywood stars. The result: the billion-dollar Indian Premier League, with players from all around the world competing for a chance to play against each other. With just one season behind it, the wildly successful IPL had to shift to South Africa this year because the Indian government couldn't guarantee security for both the elections and the league. Modi doesn't mind; he planned to take the league international anyway.
