Price: $28.00
A giant in American journalism in the vanguard of "The Greatest Generation" reveals his World War II experiences in this National Geographic book. Walter Cronkite, an obscure 23-year-old United Press wire service reporter, married Betsy Maxwell on March 30, 1940, following a four-year courtship. She proved to be the love of his life, and their marriage lasted happily until her death in 2005. But before Walter and Betsy Cronkite celebrated their second anniversary, he became a credentialed war correspondent, preparing to leave her behind to go overseas. The couple spent months apart in the summer and fall of 1942, as Cronkite sailed on convoys to England and North Africa across the submarine-infested waters of the North Atlantic. After a brief December leave in New York City spent with his young wife, Cronkite left again on assignment for England. This time, the two would not be reunited until the end of the war in Europe. Cronkite would console himself during their absence by writing her long, detailed letterssometimes five in a weekdescribing his experiences as a war correspondent, his observations of life in wartime Europe, and his longing for her.
Betsy Cronkite carefully saved the letters, copying many to circulate among family and friends. (Regrettably she didn't save her own responses.) More than a hundred of Cronkite's letters from 1943-45 (plus a few earlier letters) survive. They reveal surprising and little known facts about this storied public figure in the vanguard of "The Greatest Generation" and a giant in American journalism, and about his World War II experiences. They chronicle both a great love story and a great war story, as told by the reporter who would go on to become anchorman for the CBS Evening News, with a reputation as "the most trusted man in America."
Illustrated with heartwarming photos of Walter and Betsy Cronkite during the war from the family collection, the book is edited by Cronkite's grandson, CBS associate producer Walter Cronkite IV, and esteemed historian Maurice Isserman.
Walter Cronkite IV is an associate producer with CBS News.
Maurice Isserman is the James L. Ferguson Professor of History at Hamilton College. His most recent book is the prize-winning Fallen Giants: A History of Himalayan Mountaineering from the Age of Empire to the Age of Extremes (Yale, 2008), co-written with Stewart Weaver, which the New York Times called "the book of a lifetime...an awe-inspiring work of history and storytelling.
Foreword by Tom Brokaw
By the end of the 20th century, Walter Cronkite was one of the most famous Americans of his time. He carried the coveted title "the Most Trusted Man in America," and to generations of younger viewers, he was known as Uncle Walter, the steady and wise man guiding the country through so much tumultuous change from his anchor desk on CBS Evening News.
To those of us who shared his profession, he was a role model as a journalist and also as a family man, a father and the husband of the incomparable Betsy, a winsome woman he met in the early stages of his career in Kansas City. To their many friends (and I was proud to be in that company), they were simply "Walter and Betsy," a matched pair with a zest for lifewhether it was a sailing vacation, an opening night on Broadway, box seats at the Kentucky Derby, or at a sing-along after a dinner party.
Their sense of adventure started early, for they were married in 1940, on the cusp of World War II, when the future of the free world was to be determined in what some military historians have called "the greatest single event in the history of mankind."
By 1942 Walter was headed for that war as a correspondent for the United Press. The next year he was based in London and covering the war on a daily basis, primarily by reporting on the dangerous bombing missions of the Eighth Air Force.
London, that most elegant of cities, was on a full-time war footing, blacked out at night to discourage German air strikes, living on reduced rations, and trying to accommodate the crush of newcomers who poured into the British capital to launch the counterattack against Nazi Germany.
In this remarkable collection of personal letters from Walter to Betsy, the reader is transported back to the pivotal years of 1943–45, when the push against Hitler's war machine was beginning to have its effect. Betsy was back in New York with their beloved cocker spaniel, Judy, for what would prove to be a long separation.
In the straight-ahead, honest prose he later became famous for as ananchorman, Walter mixed the momentous, the personal, and the ordinary in his dispatches to Betsy, worrying about how to make his meager salary cover room, meals, and wardrobe. War correspondents in those days wore special uniforms, which they had to purchase, and they drew rations such as one big Tootsie Roll, vanilla wafers, cheese niblets, a carton of cigarettes, and a box of razor blades. At one point he let her know that his share of a room was $18 a week, explaining that the price may seem exorbitant (!) but that space was scarce.
Walter's days and nights were long and irregular, and he often told Betsy of his exhaustion, brought on by working through the night to hammer out an account of a bombing raid and then to get it through the censors and onto the wires for transmission to the United Press (UP) newspaper clients in the U.S.
It wasn't all work and no play, however. Walter came to be a drinking pal with Clark Gable, the big Hollywood star who had enlisted and flew combat missions with the Eighth Air Force. He began a lifelong friendship with Andy Rooney, and his UP boss was Harrison Salisbury, a legendary journalist for my generation. A bar was always open somewhere, and it's plain that Uncle Walter enjoyed a nightcap.
His most famous assignment that year was also the most dangerous. The gifted young men who covered the Eighth Air Force persuaded Army brass that they should be able to accompany a bombing mission over Germany. Remember, this was at a time when casualty rates were high because the bombers didn't have adequate close-air support and the German homeland was laced with air defense weapons. Cronkite flew in the Plexiglas nose cone of a B-17 during the raid and later admitted that he manned the .50-caliber machine gun against German fighter planes when they were attacked over the target. His bomber made it back safely, but a plane carrying a New York Times reporter was shot down and his body never was recovered.
Cronkite's first-person account of the raidthe first ever written by a journalist along for the ridereceived wide play and high praise across the United States, but in his letters to Betsy he remained characteristically matter-of-fact in describing the stack of congratulatory messages he received.
As I read these letters, I longed to see Walter and Betsy again so that I could tell them how much I enjoyed them and how much I admired their unconditional love, which comes through after all these years.
The letters to Betsy also reminded me of how the two of them and all of their friends from that time kept up their enthusiasm for taking life head-on. Think about it: They were front and center for World War II. And yet, when it ended, they were on to the next big story, and the one after that, and the one after that, a gregarious couple from America's heartland who relished all their opportunities and loved each other deeply until the very end of their quintessential American story.
Finallyand I'm sorry, I can't help myself "That's the way it was."

Raikou @ Shuca Berry
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 76 HP / 204 SAtk / 228 Spd
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Snarl
- Protect
It can counter Gyarados with Thunderbolt and deny the opponent's special attackers with Snarl. I gave it a Shuca Berry to endure super effective ground type moves. Shuca Berry allows my Raikou to beat Landorus and Garchomp. I gave it only 228 Speed EVs because I thought out-speeding Tornadus was enough.
Volcarona @ Lum Berry
Trait: Flame Body
EVs: 244 HP / 4 Def / 4 SAtk / 44 SDef / 212 Spd
Modest Nature
- Rage Powder
- Heat Wave
- Bug Buzz
- Protect
Rage Powder is a great move. It can make Fake Out useless and draws status attacks to Volcarona to cure with Lum Berry. Volcarona has great synergy with other teammates with Rage Powder. Also, Volcarona deals a lot damage to the Pokémon that most players use (for example: Cresselia, Tyranitar, Metagross, Hydregion, and Scizor).
Latias (F) @ Haban Berry
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 248 Spd / 80 SAtk / 156 HP / 20 Def / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Reflect
- Safeguard
I used Latias to counter the popular Pokémon that most players used. I gave her a Haban Berry to counter dragons like Kingdra, Latios and Hydregion. My Latias can endure a Dragon Gem boosted Draco Meteor from Timid Latios with 252 Special Attack EVs. Hidden Power Fire can deal crucial damage to Escavalier and Scizor (67.8 – 81.4% damage to 252 HP / 4 SDef Escavalier and 85.9 to 101.7% damage to 252 HP Scizor). Reflect makes my team hard to break through. I chose Safeguard to protect my team from status moves — especialy sleep. I spent a lot of time on Latias' EV spreads and moveset because she is a very important Pokémon for my team.
Gastrodon @ Sitrus Berry
Trait: Storm Drain
EVs: 60 SDef / 196 HP / 76 SAtk / 156 Def / 20 Spd
Calm Nature
- Ice Beam
- Earth Power
- Recover
- Protect
I was afraid of rain-boosted Hydro Pump spam, so I used this Storm Drain Gastrodon to make water moves useless. I used Bulky Gastrodon with Recover to stall. My Gastrodon is bulky enough to endure Swagger-boosted Metagross's Zen Headbutt and Gem-boosted Draco Meteor from dragons. With Reflect and Snarl, he can sponge almost any attack. I won my Top 8 battle with Gastrodon and thought bulky Gastrodon was a great choice.
Scizor @ Steel Gem
Trait: Technician
EVs: 164 Atk / 236 HP / 84 SDef / 20 Def / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Bug Bite
- Swords Dance
- Protect
My most used Pokémon after Raikou. Swords Dance Scizor is an awesome sweeper. Scizor can KO most Pokémon with Bullet Punch after a successful Swords Dance. I also love it when my Scizor steals a berry from my opponents with Bug Bite. Taking Sitrus Berry from Cresselia is the sweetest; I knock Cresselia down and recover my HP! My Scizor can endure Jolly 252 Attack Terrakion's Gem-boosted Close Combat and Timid 252 Special Attack Thundurus-T's Choice Specs Thunderbolt. Scizor becomes more bulky with Raikou's Snarl and Latias' Reflect, so it can get more chance to use Swords Dance or power STAB attacks. Scizor is a strong sweeper that I recommend, but beware of surprise HP Fire!
Garchomp @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Veil
EVs: 76 HP / 180 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Substitute
- Protect
Everyone's favorite Pokémon HAXchomp with HAXveil! I chose Substitute to threaten Sand teams. My Garchomp can 2HKO 252 HP Metagross with Earthquake and OHKO 4 HP Latios with Dragon Claw. Also, he can endure Ice Beam from Cresselia. My Garchomp is pretty bulky — 252 Attack Adamant Metagross can't break his Substitute. I used Garchomp to counter Heatran which threats its teammates.

I could see how someone might interpret that if they had no reading comprehension skills. I told you the artistic direction I was trying to go for ie the sort of stream of consciousness thought cloud as the character realises his last line of quixotic hopeful defence has been broken and now reality has taken its place, and I was specifically asking for advice on the delivery of such a piece. Your advice hasn't had anything to do with the advice I wanted because your advice was 'don't do that' ie you completely missed what I was trying to pull off stylistically, after god and I repeatedly explained it to you.
If you bothered to read the rest of the /lit/ thread you'd know how gracious I was with feedback and constructive criticism; I'm struggling to be so with you because you completely missed the point, several times over.

I made my mother a mother on Mother's Day.
Aww, mushy, mushy, right?
She always makes it sound so sweet when she tells the story.
But the part she kindly omits is how she's never gotten a Mother's Day to herself because I've always joinked it out from under her.
For years, I was content with guilting my mother into celebratory submission -- but then I became a mother, too. Two days after my mom's birthday. Officially joinking her last personal holiday,
to make her a grandmother. Now I feel as if I should relinquish my birthday. I don't
really want it anymore,
Of course, Mother Heckel has never complained. And I blind-side my poor husband with a mega-celebration that justifies an extra incredible birth-mothers-day dress.
After all, that's one of my "three things" that sustain me as a creature separate from my daughter. Actually, pretty dresses are all three of my happy things.
I learned about the three things from Katie Wise, the founder of Yo Mama yoga studio in Boulder. She also became a mother on Mother's Day. And to add to the fun, her birthday is on Father's Day.
Needless to say, Wise understands how to share. And as a doula who's helped deliver more than 150 babies, she also knows a thing or two about motherhood.
When Wise was pregnant with her second child, Boulder psychotherapist Kate Kripke with the Postpartum Wellness Center of Boulder asked her a life-changing question: What are the bottom-line three things you do that are your most important self-care? In other words, Wise says, what is your "non-medical prescription for health?"
Wise decided her three things were yoga, a nice protein-packed meal and sleep. (The third is a joke, right?)
Wise says she suffered mild postpartum depression after her first delivery, but identifying and seeking out her three things after her second child helped keep her feeling balanced -- and from hopping on the back of a stranger's motorcycle and running away to Mexico. Or farther. Into the sunset. There's always a sunset in these kinds of fantasies.
"Being a second-time mom is a whole different level. It's still the juggling, but now it's like juggling on a unicycle," she explains, reinforcing my choice to be one-and-done with children.
Whenever Wise felt as if she was about to lose her cool, she would ask herself which of her three things she could access ASAP. A hard-boiled egg? The next available yoga class?
"Sometimes, that reconnects us to who we were before," she says. "For me, one of the biggest indicators that I was not myself after my son was born was my sense of humor was gone."
Today, she says, she lavishes in the hilarity and absurdity of motherhood. Like breast-pumping. She recently pumped while teaching a prenatal yoga training course, and three of the mothers there pumped while learning.
She's adding a new feature to her website: "Where did you pump today?" As she sees it, motherhood is hard enough, without having to hide away certain parts of it.
"That's the new feminism," she says. "It's not about being a dude in the workplace. It's about being a woman who owns a business and brings motherhood right into the face of that business."

Incoming UCLA freshmen Bronte Law and Alison Lee will represent opposite sides in the biennial Junior Solheim Cup next month at the Inverness Golf Club in Englewood, CO.
Lee, the top-ranked junior player in the United States, was named to the Solheim Cup Team earlier this week. Law, a member of Great Britain and Ireland's victorious 2012 Curtis Cup Team, was a wild card pick by Captain Janice Moodie.
In 2013, Lee, a Valencia HS graduate, won the Rolex Tournament of Champions, the Rolex Junior Girls Championship and the ClubCorp Mission Hills Desert Junior. In the latter tournament, she tied an AJGA record with a nine-under par score of 63 in the first round.
Law (left) helped lead Great Britain and Ireland to a 10.5-9.5 victory in the Curtis Cup at Nairn, Scotland last summer. The win was GB&I's first in 16 years. Last August at the U.S. Women's Amateur Championship, she advanced to the round of 32 after tying for 37th place in stroke play. This summer, Law won the French Under-18s Championship with a 4 & 3 victory over Sweden's Jessica Vasilic, another 2013 Junior Solheim Cup teammate.
The 2013 Junior Solheim Cup will take place August 12-14.

Don McCredie was a Professional firefighter and an active member of his local Surf Life Saving Club at Coogee Beach, NSW, Australia.He was also a strong swimmer who competed in many different sporting events and in 1983 won the title of the World Surf life Saving Bodysurfing Champion. Through these endeavors, and after several trips to Hawaii in the mid 80',s while competing regularly in Bodysurfing contests, he became interested in water flow and fluid dynamics. Don's idea was to design and create a type of swim propulsion fin that would revolutionize his chosen sport. The Hydro Fins were born.
Calls to an established high quality rubber company initiated the process of the fins intimate production. The rubber company produced molds and manufactured the product for export to Australia and the USA, Japan and Europe. Don travelled extensively to secure distributors for his one and only product – and due to its unique patented qualities and performance, gained sales and recognition worldwide. Since then over a million pairs of Hydro Fin products have been sold in over 20 countries in several different models of which have updated since the original design. Hydro Fins are now manufactured in the world's largest rubber swim fin factory.
The Hydro brand was sold and Don started Dmcswim.com. His swimming knowledge and product innovation has combined to create the DMC swim fins and a line of swimming products that would suit the new beginner through to the serious aquatic athlete. Don is now a qualified swim coach and trains local swimming athletes of all ages using his own unique methods and training aids born of the DMC Swim range. All around the world, top class swimmers are turning to DMC swim fins for their choice of training fins and training aids.

The Gospel Messenger--May 1884
Dear Brother Respess,
In order to give a correct history of Sandy Creek Church, I go back to Benedict's history of the Baptists. In second volume, page 37, we find Shubael Stearns was a native of Boston, Mass., and embraced the sentiments of the Baptists in the year 1751, and was ordained in Tolland, Conn., the same year.
Mr. Stearns and most of the separates had strong faith in the immediate teachings of the Spirit. They believed that, to those who sought him earnestly, God often gave evident tokens of his will; that such indications of the divine pleasure, partaking of the nature of inspiration, were above, though not contrary to reason, and that following these, still leaning in every step upon the same wisdom and power by which they were first actuated, they would inevitably be led to the accomplishment of the two great objects of a Christian's life—the glory of God and the salvation of men.
Mr. Stearns, listening to some of these instructions of heaven, as he esteemed them, conceived himself called upon by the Almighty to move far to the westward (not sent by a missionary board with his pocket full of money, mind you) to execute a great and extensive work. Incited by his impressions, in the year 1754 he and a few of his members took their leave of New England. He halted first at Opeckon, in Berkley county, Va., where he found a Baptist church. Here Mr. Stearns, not meeting with his expected success, felt restless. He and his party once more got underway, and, traveling about two hundred miles, came to Sandy Creek, in Guilford (now Randolph) county, N. C. Here he took up his permanent residence. The number of families in Stearns' company were eight, and the number of communicants sixteen. As soon as they arrived they built them a little meeting house, and these sixteen persons formed themselves into a church, and chose Shubael Stearns for their pastor. In process of time a powerful and extensive work commenced, and Sandy Creek Church swelled from 16 to 606 members, spreading its branches to Deep river and Abbott's creek.
Sandy Creek Church is the mother of' all the Separate Baptists. From this Zion went forth the word, and great was the company who published it. This church, in seventeen years, has spread her branches westward as far as the great river Mississippi, southward as far as Georgia, eastward to the sea, and northward to the waters of the Potomac; it, in seventeen years, has become mother, grandmother and great grand mother to 42 churches, from which sprang 125 ministers. The Revolutionary War and emigration in seventeen years reduced the church from 606 to 14 souls. Purifoy, in his history published since the great division of the Baptists, says, "and the 14 are there yet," but I am a little inclined to believe there were a few more than that, for I find a record made in the old church book, which is now in my possession, as follows: "The Church at Sandy Creek being determined to stand as they have been formally constituted, on the apostle's faith, as they believe, do this day, namely, the second Lord's day in August, 1835, protest against all the institutions of the day which they do believe are not founded on the scriptures, viz: the Baptist State Convention, the Missionary Society the Bible Society, the Tract Society, the Sunday School Society and the Temperance Society, and as such have with drawn from the Sandy Creek Association in consequence of said societies. We have this day appointed our brethren, Abraham Wright, Kingsbury Allred, and Henry Kivett, to hand in our letters and to represent our church in the Abbott's Creek Union Association, to be held in Davidson county, at Hunt's Fork Meeting House, on Saturday before the fourth Lord's day in August, and days following. Our delegates were received, and we now belong to the Abbott's Creek Union Association." Signed by 18 members.
So you see Sandy Creek Church is not a Missionary Church, nor never has been; but as long ago as I can remember I heard it talked that the Missionary Baptists were trying to collect money from the people to raise a great monument over "Old father Stearns" grave. (I forgot to say in its proper place that Shubael Stearns died November 20th, 1771, at Sandy Creek and was buried near his meeting house.) I suppose it has been twenty-five or thirty years since they have been trying for the money, but never succeeded in getting a sufficient amount until some six or eight years ago, and the monument was raised by his grave. And how high do you suppose it is? I imagine some will begin to say, "I think it must be some forty or fifty feet high, as it took them so long to get money enough to raise it," but no! no! it is just twenty-five inches (not feet) above the top of the ground; a plain tomb stone, I suppose cost about eight dollars, with the following inscription on it: "In memory of Rev. Shubael Stearns, who organized the Sandy Creek Missionary Baptist Church in the ye 1755, and departed this life November 20th, 1771." But that doesn't disturb his blessed rest, nor will it prevent his body from coming forth in the morning of the resurrection a spiritual body, all glorious, and perhaps to judge the world. "Know ye not that the saints shall judge the world;" "The queen of the south shall rise up in judgment with this generation to condemn it;" "The men of Nineva shall rise up in judgment with this generation to condemn it," and why not Shubael Stearns rise up in judgment with this generation?
Brother Respess, I have not given this sketch of the church half justice, but I feared I would weary your patience.
Your sister in hope, VANDELIA E. JONES.
P. S.—Henry Kivett, one of those brethren who were sent by the church to Abbott's Creek Association in 1835, is the same old brother I spoke of; our only male member.
Here is a brief history of Old Sandy Creek Primitive Baptist Church, located in the north eastern part of Randolph County, North Carolina, 20 miles southeast of Greensboro, North Carolina, four miles west of Liberty, North Carolina, off of 49-A. Morgan Edwards, the earliest historian, was at Sandy Creek in 1772, says that the work existing from Elder Shubal Stearns and fifteen other souls, 16 years early (November 22, 1755), spread so rapidly from Sandy Creek that by 1775, the church had spread her branches southward as far as Georgia, eastward to the sea and the Chesapeake Bay, and northward to the water of the Potomac. It, in 17 years, became a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother to 42 churches, from which sprang 125 ministers. Semple, next in age, 1810, says ... soon after Elder Stearns' arrival at Sandy Creek November 22, 1755, he and his companions to the number of 16 were constituted into a church called Sandy Creek and to which Elder Stearns was appointed pastor. In this little church in the wilderness, there were, besides the pastor, two other preachers, viz: Joseph Breed and Daniel Marshall, neither of whom was ordained. Thus organized, they began a work, kindling a fire which soon began to burn brightly indeed. Shubal Stearns came into Guilford County, not Randolph, at Sandy Creek and began a work that is almost without parallel. In 1829, Hassell wrote, as of now, more than a thousand churches existing which arose from this beginning. The first meeting house built in 1762 was 26 x 30. The present old log meeting house was build around 1802. the present frame house was build in 1946. The first deed to the property at Sandy Creek was made in 1822 by Wm. Welborn. It consisted of one acre or more of land and was filed for registration on December 29, 1885, before W. J. Teague, Register of Deeds. On the second Lord's day in August, 1835, our predecessor protested "against all the new institutions of the day which they do believe is not founded on the scripture, among which were the Baptist State Convention, the Missionary Society, the Sunday School, and other societies which had come into existence. As a result of the declaration, the church withdrew from the Sandy Creek Association and joined the Abbott's Creek Union Association: the church continued in this association for 124 years. The church now stands independent. In 1902, membership had dropped to only one member, a Vedelia E. Jones who died in 1909. From about 1904 till 1909, no services were held. It is said, however, that she refused to accept the closing of the church and continued to come and sit on the steps of the old building each meeting day and sang the old hymns she loved so well. In 1926, services were resumed and, in 1929, the church was reorganized back into a church body and has continued ever since. Elder Gurney E. Nance serves as our pastor. We were prone to agree with the statement "This is a church where time stands still."
In the early part of the church history, our records are lost, but we do have the first original deed. It was not lawful in North Carolina at the time Sandy Creek was organized for churches to own land. The old Log Meeting house once had a balcony which some say was used for slaves. There are two doors and two windows. The stand or pulpit is pinned together with wooden pegs. About 1905, the "Original" Head Rock of Elder Shubal Stearns was removed from his grave by a Missionary minister. The present stone is misleading. The Primitive Baptists, at this time, have been unable to find the original stone. Stearns' original head rock was native stone on which was carved "S.S. 1771". In 1951, the Department of Conservation and Development tried to establish Sandy Creek Baptist Church as a historical shrine, but the church refused to turn over to the state the old deed. The Old Baptists believed the old building is to be used for worship of the Lord only. In July, 1979, the State Professional Review Committee placed for study Old Sandy Creek Primitive Baptist Church for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. We have seventeen members. We hope each reader will pray that our endeavors walk in the old paths may continue. Hal Younts, Church ClerkClimax, North Carolina

According to Google Groups Stats, I'm the 7th most active poster of all time. That's still my old email address, BTW, I've switched provider several years ago. In fact, if you actually do an advanced search for my name, Google Groups says it found about 7300 posts by me — higher than their listed top poster! But as I'm not the only one changing email address now and then, the other people's count may be quite a bit higher, too. So I'll not jump to conclusions.
CPANI've got a CPAN directory, and I started with uploading stuff. A small step at first, but it'll grow, eventually.
I became the 192'nd saint on Friday May 16 2003, between 12:30 and 15:00 GMT. Actually I did that 6 times in a row — that's why it took so long...
192 is a quite a nice number actually, for geeks anyway: 192 == 3*64 :) (That's 3/4 of 256 for the slow ones out there ;)
My current XP oriented goal is to stick around on the 42nd position, something that's been succeeding pretty well over the last several months, until ysth overtook me, that is... on my birthday, no less. And less than a week later, brian_d_foy speeded past me... looks like I'll not get back to position 42 for a long time, I had got 1000XP to catch up for the next in line. Pooh.
Update May 2nd: I'm still at position 43, but it looks like I might be able to get there this month. The window to stay in 42nd position is rather small, though, only 500XP, and ysth is coming to catch up with me. Again.
Update May 6th: I did it! I'm number 42 again!

Didier Reynders meets with South African counterpart Maite Nkoana-Mashabane
On 11 June, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders met in Brussels with Ms Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, Minister of International Relations and Co-operation of the Republic of South Africa. Didier Reynders enquired about the health of President Mandela and told Minister Mashabane that he hoped he gets well soon.
They discussed the bilateral relations and were satisfied with the increased trade between both countries. The ministers were satisfied with the preparations for the economic and trade mission, which will be lead by HRH Prince Philippe in October. They expect that this mission will increase trade between the countries.
The situation in the Great Lakes was also discussed. The two ministers want to support the planned peace efforts laid down in the framework agreement signed in Addis Ababa. They emphasised that a sustainable solution must be found for the conflict in the eastern part of the DRC, a conflict that is causing disastrous amounts of human suffering. The ministers agreed that talks about this issue will continue between Belgium and South Africa, including during the framework agreement monitoring meetings.
Moreover, the ministers insisted on stabilisation in Mali, and they hope that the elections through the entire territory will take place under the best possible conditions. They discussed the situation in Zimbabwe and applauded the success of the referendum and the ratification of the new constitution. This will open up the way for the elections. The ministers were satisfied about the role that the South African Development Community, and especially South Africa, have played in this regard.
Didier Reynders and Maite Nkoana-Mashabane are concerned about the situation in Syria. They are hoping that a political solution can be found during the conference that Washington, D.C., Moscow and the United Nations are organising. Minister Reynders spoke about the Belgian initiative in Geneva, which reiterates the obligations of all parties to respect international humanitarian rights and the access to healthcare.
Finally, the two ministers discussed South Africa's situation in the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) and in IBSA (India, Brazil and South Africa). These alliances confirm South Africa's place among the up-and-coming countries.

A fire in a vacant house in Leipsic March 13 has been declared arson by the Delaware State Fire Marshal's Office.
The fire occurred in the unit block of West Street in the town limits of Leipsic, said Chief Deputy State Fire Marshal B. Scott Bullock. The fire was reported by a neighbor at 8:50 p.m.

Opinion: Boris Johnson wins London mayoral election but victory is hollow
16:47 06 May 2012
© Nigel Sutton email firstname.lastname@example.com
So London has a new Mayor. Or rather it has the same Mayor after Boris Johnson unsurprisingly won a second term at City Hall.
The election proved to be a largely underwhelming affair, and personally I'm glad it's finally all over.
The campaigns by the two leading candidates were long and tedious as well as generally uninspiring and excessively negative.
Each seemed more concerned with bashing the other than actually putting forward many positive policies to shape the future of the capital.
The final result of the election was similarly mundane, with most people predicting a Boris win long before polling day.
Even the delay to the result announcement which dragged things out until the early hours of Saturday failed to add any proper tension.
Really, the only momentous events were Ken Livingstone declaring it to be his political swan song and the Green Party's Jenny Jones finishing in third place.
The eventual scale of Boris Johnson's victory typified the whole election.
While the Mayor himself and Prime Minister David Cameron may revel in the Conservative Party's success in the City Hall race, it can hardly be described as a convincing outcome - at least not accurately.
Firstly, turnout was a dismal 38 per cent, which means nearly two thirds of eligible Londoners couldn't even be bothered to vote. Boris along with the other candidates failed miserably, it seems, to arouse much – if any – interest in the election among Londoners.
Of this small percentage who turned out, more than half of them chose someone other than Boris as their first preference for Mayor.
This is not exactly a strong platform of support to build on for the next four years.
It seems to be as much a case of the other candidates and parties losing the election as Boris winning it with any commanding style.
Let's be pleased the election is done and let's salute Boris Johnson's victory but let's keep things in perspective and not get carried away.
Finally, let's watch with interest whether the Mayor fulfils his promises to Londoners and goes on to justify the trust that at least some of the capital's residents have put in him by giving him that second term.

Respiratory care program earns national recognition
Published: Monday, October 8, 2012 at 5:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 8, 2012 at 5:38 p.m.
Wake Forest Baptist Health — Lexington Medical Center has earned Quality Respiratory Care Recognition under a national program aimed at helping patients and families make informed decisions about the quality of the respiratory care services available in hospitals.
Respiratory Care Services at Wake Forest Baptist Health in Winston-Salem also received the QRCR recognition.
Only 15 percent of the hospitals in the United States have applied for and received this award. This is the sixth year that Lexington Medical Center has earned the national recognition. The two Wake Forest Baptist programs join a group of only 700 hospitals nationwide with this designation.
The QRCR program was started by the American Association for Respiratory Care to help consumers identify those facilities using qualified respiratory therapists to provide respiratory care. Hospitals earning the QRCR designation ensure patient safety by agreeing to adhere to a strict set of criteria governing their respiratory care services.
The AARC's QRCR program grew out of growing concerns among health care leaders and the general public regarding the safety and quality of health care services provided to patients. Hospitals that meet the QRCR requirements provide a level of respiratory care consistent with national standards and guidelines and demonstrate an ongoing commitment to quality care.
Respiratory therapists are specially trained health care professionals who work under physician's orders to provide a wide range of breathing treatments and other services to people with asthma, chronic pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, lung cancer, AIDS and other lung or lung-related conditions. They also care for premature infants and are key members of lifesaving response teams charged with handling medical emergencies.
A list of QRCR hospitals is maintained at the association's website for consumers at www.yourlunghealth.org.

A Record Crowd Watches Men's Hockey Defeat No. 8 Dartmouth
PRINCETON, N.J. (1/5/13) - It was only fitting that on the 90th anniversary of the first game at Hobey Baker Rink that a record crowd would attend Princeton's game versus No. 8 Dartmouth. A record 2,711 people watched as the Tigers defeated No. 8 Dartmouth 2-1 and swept the weekend after a 3-2 overtime win over Harvard yesterday.
Senior Mike Condon was the MVP of the night, making 34 saves for the Tigers.
"This crowd is a testament to the guys," head coach Bob Prier said. "They are out in the community, in the schools and are great with kids at events like Skate with the Tigers. They are tremendous characters and role models and people want them to succeed and want to come and support them."
Dartmouth came out on fire in the first period and had an 11-3 shot differential that helped it take a 1-0 lead. Matt Lindblad back handed a pass to Eric Neiely in the slot and he fired top shelf for the goal at 6:18.
Princeton's second period woes were a thing of the past as the Tigers put together a dominating second that gave them the lead.
"They have pride in this place, in each other and in the Princeton Tiger tradition," Prier said about his team after the game. "They played with a ton of emotion and passion, but not to the point of desperation where they thought they had to sway from their responsibilities."
A penalty on Neiley that carried over from the previous period gave the No. 5-ranked power play a chance to tie the game and it did just that. Senior Michael Sdao fired a shot from in front of the Princeton bench that banked off a defender's skate and into the net behind netminder Charles Grant. Freshman Mike Ambrosia and junior Andrew Calof earned assists on the goal that came just eight seconds into the period.
Junior defender Jeremy Goodwin fought hard for Princeton's second goal just two minutes later at 2:38. Goodwin had two shots get saved by Grant before he was finally able to get his third shot over the goal line. Sophomore Tyler Maugeri and freshman Kyle Rankin helped set up the play. The goal marked Goodwin's first of the season and his first in 43 games.
Dartmouth battled to get back out ahead and had a 13-2 edge in shots in the third period. Condon was unstoppable in goal, throwing himself all over the ice, as he kept his team in front.
The Big Green pulled Grant with 1:20 remaining but the Tigers were up to the task, limiting them to just one shot on goal.
Grant finished the game with 14 saves as the Big Green fall to 8-5-2 overall and 4-3-1 in the ECAC.
Princeton improves to 5-7-4 overall and 4-3-3 in the league to remain in second place in the league standings. The Tigers host Union next Friday, Jan. 11 at 7:30 p.m., live on NBC Sports.

Organic and natural candies are getting more and more popular as the days go by. Enter one of the newest candies to fit into this niche: Zootons. They're jelly candies that are organic, vegan and tasty too! Bold black boxes adorned with cute monsters hold these treats, along with the tag line of "Organic Candy With Out Of This World Taste". Kind of a funny idea; extraterrestrial monsters that deliver candy that's healthy for our planet and bodies.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the generosity of a fellow candy friend, I wouldn't have gotten my hands on these. Their website is still extremely vague on where you can buy them, and unless you can pick up samples on the trade show circuit, I don't know where you can buy them. I am pretty frustrated by this, because I know there's many of you out there searching for more friendly candy vices, and these certainly fit the bill.
Organic Gummis: They come in crescent moon shapes and use all natural colors. The flavors are described as black currant, orange, pineapple and raspberry. Despite all natural color, they are easily distinguishable. Or at least thought so, until I realized there were four flavors and three colors. Hmm
I'm fascinated with the funny texture, as it feels like dried fruit. Soft, yet hard on the outside.
Pineapple: Very light and sweet. There's no zest or tartness at all which I find disappointing.
Raspberry: I thought this was orange at first. Very floral with generic berry notes and a bit of pear in there. It reads more fruity than raspberry to me.
Black Currant: I am assuming that this is the right flavor since it's the darkest color. Yet, it doesn't taste of black currant to me. It's fruity with bits of apple, pear, and grape but it lacks that piny hit like real black currants have.
Orange(?): I didn't get anything orange flavored in this pack. Saddness.
Organic Cola: These are star shaped and so cute! The texture is harder and denser than the gummis. The color is perfect for cola.
The flavor is a beautiful mild cola: sweet, fruity, with notes of herbs and spices. They're refreshing in their honest simplicity.
Organic Sours These are also crescent moon shaped, but have a dusting of granulated sugar unlike the gummis. Also listing as having strawberry, lemon, orange and raspberry flavors, yet there's only three colors in my box. I am once again confused.
Lemon: Wowza, beautifully tart and zesty. It has a nice sourness and authentic flavor.
Raspberry: Very floral and slightly tart with flavors of pear. Why don't other companies take a hint? So much better than that nasty fake blue raspberry sour stuff.
Orange: Oh, this one is awesome. The flavor is so juicy and fresh with the tartness is just a littler stronger than a real orange.
Strawberry: Again, wow, this is really juicy and not too sour to destroy the strawberry flavor. It's just tart enough so it fits into the mix.
Organic Jellies: Stared shaped with a sugar coating that makes a great crunchy texture. The jelly part is soft with a subtle chew.
Black Currant: Tastes more like raspberry jam than it does black currant. Again, it's lacking those piney notes I'm used to and expect.
Strawberry: Awesome, just like strawberry jam: juicy, sweet, and full of flavor.
Lemon: Fresh, sweet, slightly zesty. My favorite of the bunch.
Pineapple: Faint flavor with an authentic essence to it. There's a light tang, but not as much as I'd expect from a pineapple flavor. This one comes in second.
I just loved these. If only I could buy more in stores! They are worth searching out and waiting patiently for.

When a stable plaque in a heart artery breaks open it causes a heart attack. When the rupture occurs, a clot suddenly forms in the lumen (channel) of the artery at the site of the rupture. Bleeding into the plaque often accompanies the rupture. The clot then blocks (occludes) the artery and thereby decreases the blood flow to the heart. This sequence of events in the coronary arteries is the basic problem in more than 75% of people who suffer a heart attack. In some patients, more often women, there is just an erosion or ulceration of the plaque surface, rather than a full rupture that leads to clot formation in the coronary artery.
According to medical studies, 50% to 75% of people survive their first heart attack. The others die during the heart attack because the decreased coronary blood flow causes a severe abnormal heart rhythm or extensive death of heart muscle. The image below shows the heart of a patient who died 5 days after a heart attack. The photos show his myocardial infarction as it appears on the surface of the left ventricle and when the heart is sliced to view the muscle wall. About 90% of myocardial infarctions involve only the left ventricle (LV), which pumps oxygen-rich blood that comes from the lungs to the entire body. The other 10% also involve the right ventricle (RV), which pumps the blood to the lungs.
If a person survives a heart attack, the heart muscle may return to normal or become a region of dead heart muscle (the myocardial infarction). The amount and health of the remaining heart muscle is the major determinant of the future quality of life and longevity for a patient after a heart attack. A heart attack can interrupt the normal electrical wiring of the heart, leading to abnormal heart rhythms. The heart attack can also weaken the pumping action of the heart causing shortness of breath due to heart failure. Each of these complications of a heart attack can occur at any time during the recovery period as a result of dead, dying, or scarring heart muscle.

Fat City Recordings is set to release the much-anticipated album In The Red, by the Mancunian wunderkind Trus'Me featuring collaborations with Dam-Funk, Amp Fiddler, and Paul Randolph. His debut album Working Nights is regularly held up as "one of the finest deep house and disco albums to come out of the U.K in years", but this was just the beginning of the Trus'me sound. Since then he has become increasingly adept and inventive at taking on the sound system roots of reggae, soul, and disco, blending them with house and techno, to create a hypnotically radical sound.
Dam-Funk, Stones Throw recording artist and LA's rising star of the nu-boogie scene collaborates on a low slung interpretation of the WasNotWas disco epic "Wheel Me Out". Also on board is the jazzy Detroit innovator Amp Fiddler who features on two tracks including a bass & rhodes heavy cover of Bill Withers' bittersweet classic "Can We Pretend". Paul Randolph, Jazzanova's current front-man, provides vocals for a house'd up version of West Phillips' boogie favorite "Sucker for a Pretty Face" and Mahogani Music's longtime collaborator Pirahnahead lends his vocal skills to the title track "In the Red".
Also look for a limited edition one-sided red vinyl 7″ pressing of "Bail Me Out," coming soon from Fat City Recordings.

Sigma® Life Science, Sigma-Aldrich's biological products and services business, signed an agreement to distribute worldwide Olink Bioscience's Duolink® In Situ products, which present a new method for imaging and measuring protein-protein interactions in unmodified cells.
The Duolink In Situ products work in tandem with Sigma Life Science's antibody portfolio and will allow researchers to target the precise protein of interest and enable analyses and imaging. The technology, among other applications, can be used in combination with CompoZr® Zinc Finger Nuclease-mediated gene editing to track knocked-out or knocked-in genes and with MISSION® RNA interference technologies to track protein expression following gene knockdown.
"The ability to visualize these protein-protein interactions in unmodified cells under endogenous expression and at very low levels is a fundamental advance that allows greater insight into basic biology, pathways, spatial phenomena, and potential therapeutic targets in those pathways," said Josef Zihlmann, vice president at Sigma Life Science.
According to the company, the PLA® technology allows Olink's Duolink In Situ products to quickly image the locations of single protein-protein interactions regardless of strength, measure protein expression levels, and identify relative changes in post-translational modification events. The technique relies upon two target-specific primary antibodies, a plus and minus pair of species-specific PLA probes conjugated to DNA oligos that—when a target pair of proteins are in close proximity—can hybridize to trigger a rolling circle amplification reaction. Fluorescent detection probes bind the several hundred-fold amplified DNA at high density, allowing visualization of single protein–protein interactions inside an intact cell using a standard fluorescence microscope.

SIS Professor Honored for Online Innovation
SIS Professor and COTELCO/IDPP (Center for Research on Collaboratories and Technology Enhanced Learning Communities/Institute on Disability and Public Policy) Executive Director Derrick L. Cogburn has been named the recipient of the 2013 Blackboard Collaborate Hall of Fame Catalyst Award.
The Catalyst Awards recognize the positive impact of eLearning professionals, institution staff and system administrators around the world on the organization's evolution and growth. Cogburn has worked with Blackboard Collaborate as a member of its Accessibility Taskforce for a number of years, contributing to the platform's development and assisting the software developer and user community to influence the interface design and accessibility features of Blackboard Collaborate.
"It is an honor to receive the 2013 Blackboard Collaborate Hall of Fame Catalyst Award," said Cogburn. "I have enjoyed the company's continued focus on making the product as solid, feature-rich, accessible, and user friendly as it has become."
Blackboard Collaborate allows web and audio conferencing and mobile collaboration, and has been instrumental to the IDPP in facilitating the Comparative and International Disability Policy (CIDP) degree at SIS. CIDP is AU's first all-online degree and the world's first virtual master's program in disability policy. The program allows faculty to teach and students to learn from anywhere around the world through its accessible virtual classroom. This accessibility to students and faculty who are blind or visually impaired; deaf or hard of hearing; and mobility impaired is a result of COTELCO/IDPP's collaboration with and innovative configuration of Blackboard Collaborate features.
Born as an initiative of The Nippon Foundation (TNF), the IDPP has been fully funded by TNF since its launch in 2011. The IDPP is a network of university and outreach partners that contributes to an inclusive, barrier-free and rights-based society focused on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region.
"The Institute on Disability and Public Policy has achieved the honored distinction of being among a select group of winners in the Blackboard community to receive this award," said Blackboard president Maurice Heiblum. "This award program is designed to enhance the visibility of the innovation taking place at [American University] and to recognize the efforts your staff is making that directly and positively impact online teaching and learning programs."
Cogburn and his co-winner, IDPP faculty member Jennifer Ellis, will receive the award at the Blackboard awards luncheon on July 11 in Las Vegas at the annual user conference, Blackboard World 2013.

One of our favorite finds at the SLC Farmers Market is GingerMade with its sustainable body products.
GingerMade makes artisan soaps and bath and body products that are organic, sustainable and made-with-local-ingredients including locally-brewed beer from Epic Brewing. Soaps are made from scratch and use no animal tallows. Their base ingredient is olive oil with other skin nourishing oils, like organic fair trade shea butter, avocado oil and organic coconut oil.
Two GingerMade products worth checking out are the Organic Whipped Shea Butter, which is made with organic fair trade shea butter, organic virgin coconut oil, organic jojoba, vitamin E oil and rosemary oleresin all whipped together, and the amazing Carrot Face Complexion soap. This soap has a great story behind it: Mieke Okamura, the shop owner, decided to play around with a bag of organic carrots and put them through a juicer. She added some carrot seed essential oil, carrot extract, neem oil, and lots of skin loving oils that help with inflammation, anti aging and moisturizing. Voilà! The Carrot Face Complexion soap was born.
"I was hesitant to use this on my own face at first since I didn't consider my skin type to need a moisturizing bar, but I was and am still amazed. It somehow seems to balance out the over active oil glands on my face," Okamura says. "I use this daily during the winter here in Utah, where we have a very dry climate. I'm 40 years old now and I love when people ask me what I use on my skin and comment on me not looking my age. When I tell them I have just been using this soap on my face and nothing else they are a bit shocked. It leaves my skin feeling soft and I don't get as oily through out the day."
Come by to Farmers Market every Saturday morning this summer to check out these amazing body products. Prepare yourself because you'll probably leave the market with lots of cool bar soaps on your bag.

The influence of the Velvet Underground on rock greatly exceeds their sales figures and chart numbers. They are one of the most important rock and roll bands of all time, laying the groundwork in the Sixties for many tangents rock music would take in ensuing decades. Yet just two of their four original studio albums ever even made Billboard's Top 200, and that pair – The Velvet Underground and Nico (#171) and White Light/White Heat (#199) – only barely did so. If ever a band was "ahead of its time," it was the Velvet Underground. Brian Eno, cofounder of Roxy Music and producer of U2 and others, put it best when he said that although the Velvet Underground didn't sell many albums, everyone who bought one went on to form a band. The New York Dolls, Patti Smith, the Sex Pistols, Talking Heads, U2, R.E.M., Roxy Music and Sonic Youth have all cited the Velvet Underground as a major influence.
The Velvets' addressed such taboo subjects as sexual deviancy ("Venus in Furs"), drug addiction ("Heroin," "White Light/White Heat"), paranoia ("Sunday Morning") and the urban demimonde ("All Tomorrow's Parties"). In so doing, they brought rock and roll into theretofore unexplored experiential realms with a literary and unabashedly adult voice. Musically, the group ranged from droning, avant-garde improvisations ("Sister Ray") to songs built upon time-tested rock and R&B foundations ("I'm Waiting for the Man"). The Velvet Underground managed to be both arty and earthy, reflecting the duality within the college-educated but streetwise Lou Reed, who wrote most of the material.
The group—vocalist/guitarist Reed, keyboardist and viola player John Cale, guitarist Sterling Morrison, and drummer Maureen "Moe" Tucker - played their first show together in 1965. The following year they were taken under the wing of artist Andy Warhol, who saw them perform at Cafe Bizarre in Greenwich Village. The Velvets soon became the house band at Warhol's studio, the Factory, and the centerpiece of his multimedia extravaganza, the "Exploding Plastic Inevitable." Their debut album, The Velvet Underground and Nico, featured a classic Warhol-designed pop-art jacket that depicted a big yellow banana. Inside were 11 songs that radically revised the rock and roll sensibility - especially two songs about drug addiction, one despondent and sobering ("Heroin") and another a ribald slice of Harlem street life ("I'm Waiting for the Man"). Several songs, notably "Femme Fatale" and "All Tomorrow's Parties," featured the heavily accented vocals of cool German chanteuse Nico.
The Velvet Underground's second album, White Light/White Heat was more sonically radical. Filled with leakage and distortion, its chaotic centerpiece was the 17-minute "Sister Ray." The group's self-titled third album was, by comparison, quiet and introspective, defined more by cautious optimism ("Beginning to See the Light") and soul-searching ("Jesus"). By then, John Cale had left at the insistence of Reed, with whom he clashed, and was replaced by Doug Yule. Between the releases of The Velvet Underground and Loaded – officially, their fourth album – the group recorded enough unreleased material to fill two albums. Indeed, two albums of archival unearthings from 1969 were issued in the mid-Eighties as VU and Another View.
When Loaded appeared in late 1970, only Reed and Morrison remained from the original lineup. The group had switched record labels, from MGM/Verve to Atlantic/Cotillion, and adapted a more pop-oriented approach. Loaded contained some of Lou Reed's most accessible compositions, many of them sung by the pop-voiced Doug Yule. Yet though Reed felt the album was "loaded" with hits, it was their second in a row not to chart at all. That seems inconceivable today, given its high quality and enduring influence. The album's ten tracks were hooky and melodic, yet informed by Reed's literary intellect, and two of them – "Sweet Jane" and "Rock and Roll" – have become acknowledged classics. Of Loaded's anthem to the power of popular music, Reed explained, "'Rock and Roll' is about me. If I hadn't heard rock and roll on the radio, I would have had no idea there was life on this planet."
Prior to the release of Loaded, Reed left the Velvet Underground to embark on a solo career. And though a Yule-led Velvet Underground briefly kept the name alive, that was essentially the end of the story: four brilliant albums that formed a blueprint for the next three decades of rock and roll. The founding members reunited in 1993 for a brief European tour; it had been 25 years since they'd shared a stage. A double-disc documentary, Live MCMXCIII, appeared later that year. There was talk of a new studio album, but the reunion turned out to be short-lived. A new wave of interest in the Velvet Underground was stirred by the 1995 release of Peel Slowly & See, a five-CD box set that included their first four albums and numerous rarities. At their 1996 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Velvet Underground sang a new song, "Last Night I Said Goodbye to My Friend," a tribute to guitarist Sterling Morrison, who'd died of cancer the previous year.
