Saint Valentine's Day is also International Book Giving Day. The point of the new holiday is to give a book to a child. According to the Web site, "International Book Giving Day is a day dedicated to getting new, used and borrowed books in the hands of as many children as possible."
There are three ways to celebrate. The first is to give a children's book to a child who's a friend or relative.
The second is to leave a in a place where children are likely to get bored and look for something to read such as the waiting room of a doctor's office or a lobby. The third is to donate a book to a library, second-hand shop, hospital, or homeless shelter or to a charity that sends books to Third World countries.
The founder of International Book Day is Amy Broadmoore, a library science student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign who aspires to become a children's librarian. She developed the idea in 2012.
Last year, International Book Giving Day was celebrated by people in Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Macedonia, Malawi, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Nigeria, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Thailand, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States, and South Africa. Ms. Broadmoore states on the International Book Giving Day Web site that "Most children in developing countries do not own books," one-third of the children in the United Kingdom do not own books, and in the United States "two-thirds of children living in poverty do not own books."
In a 2012 interview with Dan McCue, Ms. Broadmoore wrote, "While we are encouraging individuals to engage in small acts of giving (e.g. give a book to a niece, give a box of books to your local Goodwill), if you feel up for it organize a book drive. Set out a book box at your local school, church, or coffee shop, and collect books to give to a good cause. While I am waiting for final approval, it sounds like we will be having a book drive at the church to collect books to donate to Books for Africa."
In addition to the Minnesota-based charity Books for Africa, which has sent more than 28,000,000 books to forty-nine different African countries since 1988, Ms. Broadmoore encourages people to donate books to Room to Read, Book Aid International, The Book Bus, First Book, Reading is Fundamental, Reach Out and Read, Prantham Books, Indigenous Literacy Foundation, Footpath Library, Nal'ibali, and Duffy Books in Homes.
Room to Read sends books to ten countries in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. It has established 16,060 school libraries, built 1,752 schools, published 885 books, and distributed 13,387,051 books. The organization also provides material goods and services to support the education of girls, such as school fees, school uniforms, and transportation. Book Aid International has sent over 30,000,000 books to African libraries since 1954.
The British charity The Book Bus sends books to India, Ecuador, Zambia, and Malawi. The Book Bus First Book has distributed over 100,000,000 books to schools and programs that serve poor children in the United States and Canada.
Reading is Fundamental has provided 35,000,000 poor American children with 400,000,000 new books since 1966. Each year, doctors and nurses at the nearly 5,000 Reach Out and Read program sites throughout the U.S. distribute 6,500,000 books to children and invaluable literacy advice to parents.
The Indian non-profit publisher Prantham Books has published over 11,000,000 books and 10,000,000 story cards. The Indigenous Literacy Foundation gives books to children in the remote communities of Australian Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders. Footpath Library, another Australian charity, provides books to the homeless and other very poor people.
Nal'ibali is a South African literary campaign. The Alan Duff Charitable Foundation, which is better known as Duffy Books in Homes, provides over 100,000 children in New Zealand with books three times a year.
Todd Parr and Priya Kuriyan designed bookplates one should print out and place in the book or books one gives away. Hungarian designer and illustrator Mariann Maray designed the 2014 International Book Giving Day poster, which libraries, bookshops, and other supporters can display.
Zazzle is selling International Book Giving Day bookplates, stickers, and t-shirts. The company states, "We are selling International Book Giving Day stickers and bookplates for you to affix to books that you give to children for International Book Giving Day. We are keeping the prices of these items as low as Zazzle allows. Any profits we make, we will donate in equal amounts to Books for Africa, Room to Read and Book Aid International."
Australian children's book writers Professor Mem Fox and Jackie French are among the writers who made commitments to give away copies of their books. Mr. French, who is the Australian National Children's Laureate for 2014-15, wrote on the International Book Giving Day Web site:
February 14 is International Book Giving Day. It's not recognised by the United Nations, but it is an idea that is catching on around the world since it was begun by American book blogger, Amy Broadmore, in 2012.
Why give a book on what's also St Valentine's Day?
A book lasts longer than a box of chocolates or a bunch of roses. It is calorie free, cholesterol free, guilt free and does not provoke allergic reactions. But it can also be so powerful that tyrants like Pol Pot felt they had to massacre book readers. A book can lead you to paradise or rebellion.
What do you give someone who has everything? A book.
What do you give someone who has nothing? A book. A book can give them hope, the power to dream of what life might be.
Give your best friend a book you've enjoyed. Give your local school a book you think will inspire kids, or just make them laugh. If you want your kids to be intelligent, give them books: reading creates new neural connections in a child's brain, by stimulating the growth of new neurons as they imagine the world the writer has put on paper. If you want your kids to be more intelligent, give them more books.
A book is a small, transportable, delightful universe you can keep in your pocket, handbag, glove box or desk drawer, and take out to vanish into when the world is not as you would like it to be.
But mostly, a book is shared. Give a new book. Share an old book. (I love the ones with crabby comments in the margins and chocolate stains – or maybe they are bloodstains – on the pages.)
This Valentine's Day, give books.
Jackie French
This is the way Ms. Broadmoore describes herself on her Web site Delightful Children's Books, "My name is Amy Broadmoore. I am a mother, library science graduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Chapaign, aspiring children's librarian, former attorney, Cybils judge and founder/instigator of International Book Giving Day. (International Book Giving Day – February 14th – Give a book to a child!) I have three children ages eight, six, and three. I spend my time studying, hangin' with kids, running, and searching for great picture books."
Emily Drabble wrote about International Book Giving Day for The Guardian a few days ago. "Imagine sitting bored in a doctor's waiting room, stumbling upon the book of your dreams and being allowed to take it home! This is the vision behind International Book Giving Day, which is celebrated this year on 14 February to give all you book-lovers the perfect alternative to Valentine's Day giving."
Your mission, should you accept it, is to give a book to another child – either a friend, someone you know or a complete stranger – and hopefully you'll receive or find one too!
How you go about it is up to you. You could leave a book in the playground, on the seat of a bus, in the classroom or a waiting room; you could pop one into the bag of a friend or donate a book to charity... The only limit is your imagination!
On the International Book Giving Day Facebook page, Ms. Broadmoore reports, "Random House Children's Publishers UK have been gifting copies of Wonder to celebrate International Book Giving Day."

A new report issued by the London School of Economics claims that Pakistan's intelligence agency is not only funding and training Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan but also holds sway in the insurgency's leadership council.
A series of deadly bombings in Baghdad and elsewhere in Iraq struck a party headquarters, two mosques and other sites, in apparent retaliation for a U.S.-Iraqi raid five days earlier that killed the two top leaders of the country's insurgency.

Seemingly taking a cue from Iraqi anti-insurgency manuals, U.S. border agents opened fire on a man as he attempted to drive through the border checkpoint at the Tijuana-San Ysidro crossing, fleeing officials after he failed to present legal identification.

One of the most criticized decisions made by the U.S. back in 2003 when it stumbled into Iraq like a drunk Mel Gibson at a bar mitzvah was the disbanding of the Iraqi army. All these years later, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is reinstating 20,000 of Saddam Hussein's officers. (continued)

The most idiotic thing being said about America's involvement in Afghanistan is that the best way to protect the 68,000 U.S. troops there now is by putting an additional 40,000 in harm's way.
There are already about 62,000 American troops in Afghanistan, and more may be sent to combat the Taliban and contain insurgent violence, according to Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who said Tuesday that the next couple of weeks could be telling in terms of how many more troops the U.S. might deploy.

After an initial bulk-up in the number of troops in Afghanistan earlier this year, the commander of NATO forces in that country is preparing to ask for 20,000 more international troops as part of the ongoing war against the perpetually resurgent Taliban.

President Barack Obama and his Pakistani counterpart, Asif Ali Zardari, will have a lot to talk about when Zardari visits the White House on Wednesday, what with al-Qaida and the Taliban stirring up trouble of late and sparking concerns over the security of Pakistan's nuclear arsenal.

Arriving soon after the deadliest suicide bombings in the last year, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made her first visit to Iraq in her new position, assuring Iraqis in Baghdad that they have the United States' continued support despite the Obama administration's focus on Afghanistan and talk of troop withdrawal.
President Barack Obama met recently with the prime ministers of Canada and Britain, two NATO allies looking for a way out of Afghanistan even as the U.S. is talking escalation.
We seem to have spent our way—to the tune of $864 billion—into allowing our friends the Pakistanis to enter into a peace treaty, or something that looks like it, with the Taliban.

Victory in Afghanistan? That's "neither feasible nor supportable," according to the outgoing commander of British forces there, who tells The Times of London that the Taliban "seems relatively impervious to losses." The Afghan government must instead reach some political settlement with more moderate insurgents, concluded Brigadier Mark Carleton-Smith.

Gen. Petraeus' oft-declared uncertainty about the future stability of Iraq is genuine. It is the Shiites and their Iranian backers, not the Americans, who are the true victors in the Iraqi war.
An attack on the U.S. Embassy in Yemen killed 16 Wednesday, though it failed to breach the inner walls of the building complex. The act, which has been claimed by the group Islamic Jihad, is probably a response to both an internal Yemeni crackdown against insurgent groups and the U.S. global "war on terror."

Pakistan will have a new president, Asif Ali Zardari. The widower of slain Pakistani politician Benazir Bhutto has successfully continued along his wife's path, drawing upon the support of her allies to emerge the victor by a wide margin in the election held to replace Pervez Musharraf, who stepped down as president in mid-August.

Many Iraqis struggle every day to find work, but a shortage of jobs, superimposed on a tradition of using personal connections to do business, has led to what Iraqis complain is an explosion in corruption and graft among their nation's officials.

The demise of Manuel "Sureshot" Marulanda has been rumored many times before, but this time the Colombian army has announced that the long-time leader of the rebel group FARC is dead and has challenged FARC to disprove the report. Sources close to Marulanda have yet to confirm the news.

As the U.S. government is learning much too late, democracy is not a one-size-fits-all application that can be lifted from one culture and grafted onto another. Here, UK reporter Ian Black from the Guardian Unlimited takes a look at what's really going on politically and culturally in Iraq according to a prominent historian and his Iraqi contacts.
Harry Harrison, The South China Morning Post
Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf has criticized the tough talk coming out of Washington and the presidential campaign as counterproductive. President Bush and Barack Obama, among others, have recently raised the possibility of attacking targets in Pakistan without necessarily consulting that nation's government.
Vice President Dick Cheney is on a tear these days, standing up for his pal Alberto Gonzales, the Bush administration's failed Iraq policy and his place in the executive branch (or not). But just when you thought you'd heard it all, Cheney came out with a shocking admission: He now knows he was wrong about the insurgency being in its "last throes."
Imagine if helicopters were firing on civilians in downtown Omaha or Manhattan, and that might come close to the scene in a busy section of downtown Baghdad on Tuesday, when Black Hawk and Apache helicopters zoomed in and battled insurgent forces.
Anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr ordered his militia to redouble efforts to oust U.S. forces and called on Iraq's army and police to join him. The U.S. military, meantime, said 10 American troops were killed over the weekend, including six on Sunday.
As if the Iraqi insurgency situation wasn't bad enough, now an al-Qaida chapter based in Iraq is causing additional trouble with homegrown rebel groups—and calling on Osama bin Laden for assistance.
Yet another deadly attack on Iraqi pilgrims underscored the importance of this weekend's talks between international officials about insurgent violence in Iraq. A suicide bomber in Baghdad on Sunday targeted a truck carrying Shiites going home from a pilgrimage, leaving 19 dead and 25 wounded.
More American troops are being deployed to hot spots of insurgent activity near Baghdad, Gen. David Petraeus announced Thursday. Petraeus, just beginning his tenure as U.S. military commander in Iraq, called for future negotiations with anti-government groups as well as those in support of the new Iraqi regime.
The week's deadly trend of sectarian aggression accelerated Friday and Saturday. Yet another car bomb claimed 12 lives Saturday in Ramadi. Meanwhile, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki pledged to avenge the deaths of 14 police officers found slain in Baquba on Friday.
The proliferation of conflicting, even contradictory, media accounts of Tuesday's explosion in Ramadi is reaching head-spinning proportions. The mystery deepened Wednesday, a full day after the BBC and other news outlets originally reported that 18 children were killed and 20 others injured by a car bomb as they gathered to play football in the western Iraqi city.
Breaking story: The BBC originally reported the deaths of at least 18 Iraqi boys who were lining up to play football today in Ramadi. However, the BBC story has apparently changed: The headline now reads "Confusion over Iraq soccer blast," and the article cites an American official who claims that U.S. troops carried out a "controlled explosion" near a football field in the volatile western city.
Private Saudi Arabians have allegedly donated millions of dollars to Sunni insurgents in Iraq, according to the Iraq Study Group and Iraqi officials. It's an open secret that Iran has supported Shiite militants, causing some to worry that Iraq's sectarian strife could develop into a regional quagmire.
A classified U.S. government report leaked to The New York Times says the insurgency in Iraq has funds to sustain itself annually, thanks to oil smuggling, kidnapping and other nefarious activities. What's more, the report finds insurgents may have enough money left over to finance terrorist activity outside Iraq—all while spending less in a year than the U.S. spends per day.
Opium production in Afghanistan is at the highest level ever recorded and shows an increase of 50 percent from last year. The increase in opium cultivation is a result of the resurgence of Taliban rebels. The head of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Antonio Maria Costa, said in a statement: ?The southern part of Afghanistan was displaying the ominous hallmarks of incipient collapse, with large-scale drug cultivation and trafficking, insurgency and terrorism, crime and corruption.?
Baghdad's morgue received 1,595 bodies last month, 16% more than in May, showing that the pace of killing has actually increased since the death of terrorist mastermind Abu Musab al Zarqawi.
Joao Silva / The N.Y. Times
The city of Ramadi, epicenter of the Iraqi insurgency, has already been reduced to such ruins that constantly under-fire American forces are planning to bulldoze three blocks in the center of the city and create a mini Green Zone in an attempt to gain the upper hand on the insurgents.
The acclaimed journalist (and Truthdig contributor), who has spent the last three years in Iraq, explains how his street smarts, Arabic skills and Middle Eastern looks afforded him a view of the Iraqi insurgency almost unparalleled among Western journalists. Check out the Buzzflash interview.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai is proving unable to control the insurgency that is terrorizing large swaths of the country.
The Times (U.K.) reports that the Iraqi government is ready to announce a sweeping peace plan that includes amnesty for legitimate resistance fighters. Under the plan, there would be a U.N.-approved timeline for withdrawal of foreign troops; a halt to U.S. operations against insurgents; and compensation for attack victims….
Speaking at a press conference today about the Iraqi uprising, the vice president said, "I don't think anybody anticipated the level of violence that we've encountered…."Problem is, Cheney's statement seems patently false…
Beheading videos were the favored means of propaganda of Abu Musab al Zarqawi, and this new one was clearly made to quash hopes his death would hamper the insurgency.
The death of the Al Qaeda leader is likely to downgrade sectarianism in the medium term, an expert on terrorism tells the Washington Post. "But," he added, "the dynamic of sectarian violence is probably past the point of no return."
From Interventionmag.com
Just 12 days into April, 33 soldiers have been killed—a figure that surpasses American military deaths for all of March. For several months, U.S. soldiers' deaths had been on the wane, but they now are rising quickly, especially in the heart of the Sunni Arab insurgency.
The sectarian violence continues unabated.
Also, a N.Y. Times reporter returns to Iraq after a year away and immediately sizes up the difference between an anti-U.S. insurgency and a civil war (although he doesn't use that word).
From the NY Times
The New York Times uncovers the story of a top-secret detention center in Baghdad where American jailers "used detainees for target practice in a game of jailer paintball."
The Iraqi army now has ZERO battalions capable of fighting the insurgency without U.S. support. (The one battle-worthy battalion that the White House was so proud of has been downgraded.)
I do hope this is responsible criticism that aims for cures, not defeatism that refuses to acknowledge anything but failure.

During his collegiate baseball career as a player, assistant coach and head coach at Western Carolina University and East Carolina, Keith LeClair was a part of 13 NCAA Tournament teams and earned five conference coach-of-the-year awards.
He officially relinquished his coaching duties June 19, 2002, two weeks after leading the Pirates to their fourth consecutive NCAA Regional appearance before finishing with a 43-20-1 record. LeClair remained with the ECU Department of Athletics as a special assistant to the director of athletics until the time of his death.
LeClair became the second-winningest baseball coach in school history in just five seasons at East Carolina, compiling a 212-96-1 (.688) record. He also led the Pirates to four straight NCAA Regional appearances, three Colonial Athletic Association championships and one Conference USA title. His 2001 club advanced to the NCAA Super Regionals and finished with a No. 11 national ranking after registering a 47-13 mark.

Police are asking for the public's help in locating Ellendale resident Louis A. Tunnell who is wanted after a domestic dispute turned violent earlier this year.
Tunnell, 31, is wanted by Delaware State Police on two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and one count of offensive touching.
The charges stem from a domestic incident on Feb. 12 when Tunnell and his 33-year-old girlfriend were involved in a physical altercation outside their home in the 13000 block of South Old State Road in Ellendale, said Delaware State Police spokesman Master Cpl. Gary Fournier.
Tunnell reportedly punched the woman in the face and then fled, Fournier said.
He is also wanted out of the Milford Police Department on charges stemming from a September 2013 incident, and has active warrants out of Sussex County Court of Common Pleas and Kent County Family Court.
If anyone has any information regarding Tunnell's whereabouts, they are asked to call (302) 644-5020, Delaware Crime Stoppers at (800) TIP-3333, online at tipsubmit.com, through the Delaware State Police Mobile Crime Tip Application available at Delaware.gov/apps or by sending an anonymous tip by text to 274637 (CRIMES), starting with the keyword "DSP."

I have had issues with the format of school probably since early on when it was apparent Noah would not so easily conform. But as long as the school was working with us, I figured lets go with the flow and take the best we can from it, as long as we can.
As long as we can seems to have ended.
I received my son's 5th grade schedule in the mail at the end of the school year, and probably spent a good week really trying to understand it. Eventually I passed it on to him, maybe he would know better. Though I kind of thought that if I didn't get it, he sure wouldn't.
And he didn't.
Last year he had a homeroom teacher, who was also his Science, and Social Studies teacher, and Spanish part of the year. He also had a separate teacher for Language and Math; these were "pull out" classes with a special education teacher and aide with a small class of no more than 12 kids. And like all students separate teachers for Music, Art, Gym and Computers. The latter 4 classes are also confusingly scheduled on a 6 day cycle, meaning they are taking the 5 days of the week and making it into 6, so if art is a day 1, you will have that the first day of school if it's on a Monday, but you won't have it next Monday, you will have it on Tuesday. This system has been confusing to me, I think I would better respect it if it was only one or 2 classes like this, maybe making music 3 days and art 3 because of being strapped, but personally, here at home I would just work those classes into the other ones. Frankly there is always time for music. I also don't see why computers aren't every day, this is 2014.
But this crazy 6 days out of 5 isn't the issue, it's just one part. This year the idea is to have him go to homeroom, then to language who is a different teacher, then to the "special" class of art or music or gym, then Math (different teacher, this makes the 4th teacher of the day and it's not even lunch) then it is lunch, then back to math, then science, but only half of the year, the other half of the year its social studies, except on day 6 when its Spanish (also a different teacher for science and social studies, but I think the same one teaches Spanish)
Not confusing at all.
So why is Science and Social Studies only important to be studied half of the year? And how will he retain any Spanish when it comes every 6 days, well don't forget the weekends, so really it's longer. My sister said Well he won't, I don't think learning has anything to do with it. And as far as I can tell it doesn't. The fact is in NJ we don't use standardized testing for social studies at all, and we don't test science in 5th grade. But aren't these classes important? Heck, you learn math and language in these classes as well, you have to write, sometimes add. But most importantly how can future citizens ever legitimately complain or fix things if they don't' understand our history? Won't that make for a lot of confusion and conjecture out there where people constantly blame the wrong thing? Oh wait, like now.
I really wonder if parents read the schedules, or are they ok with this. Because I am not ok with any of this. I do understand for some kids, this may be fine or they will adapt. But it isn't for kids with IEP's and special needs, especially since this is why you have an IEP. (if you have no idea what an IEP is, then your child is not this type. IEP is Individual Education Plan a legal contract/plan for kids who have different abilities and disabilites)
But most importantly, how can a kid who has trouble transitioning (due mostly to anxiety and sensory issues) be expected to transition over 8 times in a 5 hour period and be totally complainant? Transitions are a typical problem for kids on the spectrum, it really seems this is not setting him or any kid like him up to succeed, let alone be a joy when he gets home. I can imagine the added anxiety will continue to add to the problem of being able to remember his homework and of course where he has to go…and do it in three minutes. I suppose we can't expect much, if you add water to a bucket with a hole in it, it doesn't matter how much you practice putting that water in, it is going to leak.

According to Friday's publication of the Denver Post, a man in Denver, Colo., claims that the police threatened to arrest him for trying to help a dog who was dying on the street after being struck by a vehicle on Wednesday night.
Ross Knapp wanted to comfort and assist the dog who had been hit by a car, but he told 7 News that his efforts were thwarted by the local police who responded.
Knapp stated:
I had one of the officers tell me I had to leave and couldn't be near it. I tried a couple of times to go back, and he just finally said I'm impeding on an investigation and if I came back I'd be arrested,
The dog was obviously gravely injured - he could not stand and was laying on the pavement, gasping for air. The end did not come quickly for the mortally wounded dog who laid on the ground for an agonizing 90 minutes before finally succumbing to the injuries.
Animal control finally arrived moments after the dog passed away.
According to 7 News, a spokesperson for the Denver Police stated that the officers were following policy.
Sonny Jackson, with the Denver Police, stated:
It's always about the personal safety of that individual. It's not trying to be cruel to the animal or cruel to the individual. It's best if we get the Animal Control people in there, let them do what they do as experts and let them take the actions,"
Knapp wants whoever owned the dog to know that he tried to comfort their dog in its final moments...

The stereotypical portrayal of pimps luring underage girls into prostitution and forcing girls to be prostitutes by intimidation or addicting the girls to drugs is not representative of reality. This is the conclusion drawn from three separate studies of underage prostitution and sex workers in News York City and Atlantic City, New Jersey. The research was published in the April 15, 2014, edition of the journal The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science.
The study is based on interviews with pimps, underage prostitutes, and customers of the underage prostitutes. The results of the interviews indicate that minors were initiated into the sex trade by girls of their age 47 percent of the time. Customers accounted for 23 percent of girls becoming underage prostitutes. Pimps accounted for 8.1 percent of the girls that became involved in the sex trade.
The majority of the girls involved in the sex trade (47 percent) claimed to have never known a pimp. The vast majority (87 percent) of girls involved in the underage sex trade wished to leave prostitution. The reasons the girls gave for becoming involved in prostitution were homelessness, need for income, the lack of jobs, lack of job skills, and lack of education. The majority (61 percent) of girls involved in the sex trade described themselves as homeless.
The researchers conclude that underage prostitution is more complex than the sexual naiveté of law enforcement, government, or those attempting to prevent underage prostitution can accept. The pimp forcing an underage girl into prostitution is a convenient but unrealistic scenario that is propagated by the media according to the researchers. The realities of underage prostitution need more intuitive and realistically thoughtful solutions the researchers claim. One can scarcely expect a religion dominated approach to be capable of producing a proactive solution to the problems of underage prostitution when blaming a pimp is such an easy choice.

The Plague
by Albert Camus
The Plague Mortality Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph). We used Stuart Gilbert's translation.
Quote #28
Tarrou agreed that he'd predicated a disaster, but reminded him that the event predicted by him was an earthquake. To which the old fellow replied: "Ah, if only it had been an earthquake! A good bad shock, and there you are! You count the dead and living, and that's an end of it. But this here damned disease—even them who haven't got it can't think of anything else. (2.6.8)
It looks like the mental defeat caused by the plague is worse than the physical defeat (i.e., death).
Quote #29
"And I, too, am no different. But what matter? Death means nothing to men like me. It is the event that proves them right." (2.6.31)
Tarrou declares that death is meaningless, but that that very conclusion is only confirmed by the act of dying, which is not so great, especially since you can't gloat about your victory (because you're dead). Not only does this eventually prove true in Tarrou's own death, but Rieux recognizes and comments on that fact at the end of the novel.
Quote #30
"And then I had to see people die. Do you know that there are some people who refuse to die? Have you ever witnessed a woman scream "Never!" with her last gasp? Well, I have. And then I saw that I could never get hardened to it." (2.7.63)
Interestingly, it is the determination of man in his struggle against death that hits home for Rieux.

So, last night (early this morning) my wife and I are asleep in our bed. Little one staying at grandma's house. 3:43 AM, (I checked twice) the doorbell rings. Condition Red. Pull on pants, throw a shirt over my head and SR9c is in my hand as I approach the front door as I hear some soft knocking. Through the stained glass, on the well lit porch, I notice a lone man. Closer to the door, I notice a uniform, a badge and a two way radio. Its a local policeman. So, I pocket the Ruger, and slowly open the door.
Is there something wrong officer?
We had a 911 call from this address, is everything ok?
Well, only myself and my wife are home, and we are both sleeping, add to that, my two house phones are both cordless, and have not been plugged in for weeks. (they always come unplugged, and NOONE calls here but telemarketers and people looking for donations. We are strictly a cell phone family, but I plan to go pick up a couple of cheap-o corded phones now)
LEO calls dispatch, and has her read back the phone number that called, sure enough it was mine. He said they tried to call back and got static.
We scratch our heads for a minute about how the heck it happened, and he asks again if everything is ok, then apologizes a few times for waking us up. I let him know not to be sorry, I'm very glad he came by.
He canceled the second car from coming to back him up. My wife and I spend the next hour and a half trying to calm our imaginations to get back to sleep.
Would you have done anything differently? Would you have had him clear the house? (I would have known if someone had broke in, probably, and IFFFF someone had broke in, why would they have then CALLED THE COPS!!?)
Anyone out there able to shine any light on HOW this could have happened? The phone company lady was confused and had never heard of this. She checked around with her co-workers and decided to tell me that somehow the phone modem had dialed out, and just happened to randomly pick 911 to call. Said to unplug modem and replug it in. Sounds like a "we have no idea what happened" answer.
Your thoughts?

Special Collections
University of California, Berkeley
The Bancroft Library
by Hudaya Kandahjaya
Evaluated & Revised by Professor Peter Skilling
December 2005
Lloyd Wesley Swift, a 1930 graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, donated a collection of 16 sets of palm leaf manuscripts and one paper manuscript. This gift is generally known as The Swift Family Collection. Some of this collection of Buddhist palm leaf manuscripts from the mainland Southeast Asia figured prominently in "The Written Word Remains". This exhibition was a display of manuscripts and rare printed books from South and Southeast Asia assembled from libraries, faculty and private collectors. The exhibition was carried out in the Main Library from March to June 1977. After the exhibition, the collection of totally 23 manuscripts was eventually stored at the South and Southeast Asia Library. In 1997, some of them were displayed again in "A Hundred Harvests: The History of Asian Studies at Berkeley" Exhibition. The whole collection was sent to the Library Preservation Department in 2001 to be individually treated and boxed. The process of identification of each manuscript for the purpose of cataloging started in October 2002 and the results are presented here. I. The Origin of Swift Family Collection The manuscripts were originally in the estate of Josephine Hall Bishop (1841?-1917) of San Francisco, wife of Thomas Benton Bishop (1840-1906), a well known and very successful attorney. Mrs. Bishop, a world traveler, collected and maintained her own private museum on Washington Street in San Francisco. Her father, Professor James Hall (1811-1898), an outstanding geologist and paleontologist, directed the New York Geological Survey and was the first director of the New York State Museum at Albany. After his death, Mrs. Bishop brought much of his papers and personal property to San Francisco. In due time part of the Hall and Bishop material went to Mrs. Edward Bishop (1887-1951), widow of Edward Bishop, son of Josephine and Thomas, and then to Clara Bishop Swift (1905-1964), wife of Lloyd Wesley Swift, and upon Mrs. Swift's death to Lloyd Wesley Swift. It is likely that Rev. Samuel R. House sent several manuscripts to Professor James Hall directly from Siam, via his friend Rev. Stephen Bush when the latter went back to New York in 1853. Rev. Samuel R. House (1817-1899) himself was a native of Saratoga, New York and was one of the founders of Christian missionary to Siam and Laos. He went to Siam in 1847 and worked there for thirty years. In any event, it appears that Josephine Hall Bishop handled, and perhaps displayed, the manuscripts. The small, red-bordered labels found on some are in her handwriting. Parts of the manuscripts are wrapped in attractively colored handmade mats. Some brown wrapping paper with notes was together with the manuscripts. Descriptive notes on white paper appear on the inside of the panels of some manuscripts. Lloyd Wesley Swift was unable to identify the writer, but the writing in ink on some of the exterior wrapping paper he credited to a scholarly nun in San Francisco, who saw the manuscripts and, apparently, could read the text. II. General Description of the Collection From all 23 manuscripts, four manuscripts are written in folded paper. The rest are written in palm leaves. Their complete physical description is yet to be measured and described. Some of those manuscripts have a wooden title marker. This bookmark may or may not have the name or the date of the manuscript. There are 15 manuscripts written in a variant of scripts belonged to the family of Laos Tham or Northern Thai scripts. Three manuscripts are written in Devanagari script, two in Khmer, and one each in Burmese, Tamil, and Thai. Those written in Laos Tham or Northern Thai scripts are likely collected from different regions, as their numeric characters belonged to a range of script variants, e.g., Mon, Yuan, and Lu. The scripts are often not easily identified, because they do not exactly match with the regular Northern Thai or Laos Tham scripts available in todays' publications. These scripts frequently follow some characteristics akin to the Mon script. Some of those manuscripts have a date in their colophons. The earliest identified so far is dated 1782 CE (1144 Culla Sakka) and the latest one is dated 1898 CE (1260 Culla Sakka). However, the provenance and some titles of these manuscripts are yet to be identified. The collections have a wide range of textual samples from the Buddhist Tripitaka as well as from the Hindu scriptures. A number of manuscripts from the Abhidhamma Pitaka and the Vinaya (the Mahavagga and Cullavagga sections) as well as Sutta Pitaka (Majjhima-nikaya, Anguttara-nikaya, and Jatakas) represent the Buddhist canonical texts. The Hindu title scriptures are represented by, for example, the Visnupurana. III. Individual Description The following gives a physical description of each manuscript.

NIU Head Coach Dave Doeren
Opening Statement
"I thought our game with Ball State was a great football game. I kind of knew it was going to be that way. Like I said going into the game, we have a lot of respect for their football team and their coaching staff. I thought there were a lot of good players making a lot of good plays on both sides of the field. I was very proud of the way we finished that game as I am with many of our games this year. I think we are an extremely tough nosed, mentally tough, physical, fourth quarter team. Obviously our goal as a staff is to not have to be behind in a game, but to know that we can come back when we do get in that situation and never panic, never flinch says a lot about our winning attitude, resiliency, and belief that our football team and coaching staff has.
"I think defensively, we did some things that kept us in that game. As our offense struggled and Ball State's defense made some plays. Being able to be in the red zone and hold them [Ball State] to the number of points they had, a couple of times to held them to zero points down there, I think that says a lot about the mental toughness our defensive kids have. The way they were able to have two goal-line stands and create two takeaways that were key in that football game. Two of the stops coming after us getting stopped on a QB sneak and then us fumbling, were huge momentum swings. It could've gone in their direction, but didn't.
"Keith Wenning is a great player at Ball State. He threw 71 passes and completed only 40, which was under his completion ratio. The week before, I think we had three of what we consider `touchdown plays' from Central Michigan that were the result of missed tackles. In this game, their big plays, we tackled and stopped them. None of their big plays resulted in touchdowns, which was a goal of ours in the game. You know that the other team, especially if they run 100 plays, is going to make some plays. If you can get it where you tackle them and live to fight another down, I think that's an improvement we made as a football team. I think we need to be able to throw and catch the ball a little better than we did in that football game.
"I was disappointed in the interior part of our run game. I think we did a really nice job of finding some things there in the third and fourth quarters outside with our power read game. Once we got that going, it loosened up and opened up some things inside for Jordan [Lynch]. "Our tailbacks, their numbers weren't great, but if you watch the film, you're going to see a bunch of guys blocking really hard. I thought Leighton Settle and Akeem Daniels did a really nice job of blocking for our quarterback and protecting our quarterback throughout the football game. Akeem had his most complete game in terms of the things we ask. The catch Akeem made there at the end was a huge play to get us in the lead.
"This week we come home, and we're happy to be back in Huskie Stadium. We play a good Buffalo team. On film, they sure don't look like a 1-4 team. They're a team that has a very talented roster. When you look at them as an offense, they're averaged 225 yards per game rushing which is second in the MAC as a rushing team. They've gone of 300 yards rushing three times in the last seven games. I think that says a lot about their commitment to running the football. Their quarterback is similar to ours in how he can run. He can get north and south, and he's a guy that can run through some people. They have a receiver, No. 19 [Alex Neutz], that leads the MAC in touchdowns, averages 17 yards per catch. He has 25 catches. He was good against us last year. He had a really nice game against us in the second half last year. They've averaged close to 500 yards in a lot of their contests offensively.
"Defensively, in my opinion, they have one of the best players that I've seen in a long time on the defensive side of the ball. I think Kahlil Mack, No. 46, is a great football player. He leads the nation in tackles for loss. He's long armed. He's tough. He's on kickoff coverage. He's blocking punts on their punt block team. The guy plays football the right way. I really like watching him, but I'm not going to like playing against him. I think he's a great football player, and I have a lot of respect for him.
"Defensively, they're fifth in the nation in sacks with 18 sacks, so they're an aggressive defense. Lou Tepper is their defensive coordinator that a lot of people know. He does a very nice job. Their middle linebacker, Lee Skinner, No. 36, is playing extremely well and leads them in tackles. I knew him out of high school, and I thought a lot of him. Their free safety, No. 10, [Witney] Sherry, is a really good open field tackler. Those are three guys that we have to be alert for. They're a little bit different schematically on defense. They're a Bear defense. They cover up the offensive line and they get everybody there where their linebackers can really play without offensive linemen on them. We know it's going to be a challenge.
"Coach Quinn is a Chicagoland native. I know this is probably a personal game for him. It was a great game last year where they came back and obviously missed a kick that could have put it into overtime. We look forward to what Buffalo is going to bring, and we know that we've got to play our best like we always do to win this game. We look forward to the opportunity."
On NIU's fourth quarter success
"I think the first thing is mental toughness. I think we're well conditioned. Part of that could be depth, but part of it isn't. There are certain positions that we rotate more than others, and I'm sure that helps those kids. There are other positions, Jimmie Ward played 100 snaps and was playing just as good in the fourth quarter as he was in the first. The linebacker position didn't rotate a lot. Our line of scrimmage rotates. That is one area where we have good depth. At receiver we were depleted going into that game, and we didn't rotate a lot at receiver. I think our depth helps us, there's no doubt. I think the tempo we play at and practice at helps us, and there is the belief that our team has. Obviously our coaching staff and players have seen that it works. Last year we had five come from behinds and this year we have three. I'd love to stop doing that, but if that's what we have to do to win, I don't care. We'll do it. I know Buffalo is a team that plays four quarters, so we were going to have to continue to play that way to keep winning."
On what NIU can do to start as well as they are finishing
"Well, we started well against Ball State. We came out and we were up 14-0. I don't think that's the problem. I'd like to play four quarters the way we finish, but that's not real. I think the other team makes plays too. Part of football is those momentum swings that take place, and they're going to happen. You're not going to go out in the MAC and just series after series punish somebody and never have them have a good play. It doesn't happen that way. I think you've got to endure the momentum changes throughout the game, make the corrections with your players, and then outlast them. That's what we've been able to do and this is a really good conference.
"Like I said in Detroit, I think it's as balanced as it's ever been, anybody can win on a Saturday and you're seeing that. This Buffalo team had Ohio on the ropes, and Ohio is undefeated. Ohio beat Penn State and they had them on the ropes. They (Buffalo) should have won the football game if you look at the numbers from the game. They had way more yards. It was like 500 to 300 in total yardage. They made a few costly mistakes. They blocked a punt. Ohio tried to fake a field goal and Buffalo sniffed that out. They played really well and lost on the road. I think with anyone that we play, it's going to be a four quarter game."
On possible concerns with a letdown against Buffalo
"I'm always concerned about losing. I think you have to be as a coach. I think you have to prepare your guys to win. As a competitor you work you butt off so that you don't put yourself in a position to lose. Just like Buffalo, we haven't had bye weeks. Their guys are beat up. Our guys are beat up. That's just the way college football is until you get a break in the schedule. We don't get one until November. It's a war of attrition, and the next man in has to play his best to keep everything going. The guys that aren't hurt have to continue to improve each week."
On if he thought Jordan Lynch was going to be this good
"I actually did. I had really high expectations for him. I wasn't as concerned about him as I was about what was going to be around him. I knew he was going to be really good. I didn't know if it would be this year or next year because of the youth of our offensive line and just the unknowns at that position. I had really high expectations for where his career could go."
On the focus that Jordan Lynch is receiving from defenses
"I think that they have to, but I also think that we have good skill. You have to be concerned about the skill we have on the perimeter. As long as we can throw and catch, that helps. At Army, we were able to throw the football and they took away a lot of our run game because of the numbers they had. We had to throw to win and we did. As long as we can be balanced, that helps. If we end up being a one-dimensional quarterback run team, then it's a lot easier on the defense. I think Eastern Michigan, a year ago, was in that situation where they were really good running their quarterback and didn't throw the ball very well. It caught up to them in some games. If you can figure out a way to stop the QB run game, then they've got a problem. We've just got to continue to fight to be balanced with what we do."
On NIU's Huskie Stadium winning streak
"Players talk about it and it gets mentioned. We'll talk more about Buffalo and ourselves than we will that. I'm a big believer if we want to keep those kinds of things we have to focus on how to win the game. Every team you play from this point on that's going to be brought up. I don't know where it sits in college football as far as other people but that number is impressive and we would like to keep it going. I'm not going to spend a lot of time on it."
On if he expects to see a lot of running from Buffalo this week
"Being a college defense right now is interesting. One week we see 95 runs and then we see 71 passes. It's just the myriad of things you have to defend now. It's tough. Your systems have to be so diverse and flexible and your players, you just can't do about with them any more. I guess you can, but if you want to not re invent the wheel every week if you want to have some consistency in what you do you just got to be really flexible and focus on the fundamentals and recruit your scheme. Try to put guys in it that fit what you do. I think these guys throw the ball well too. I mean I know a lot is said about their running but No. 19 scares you. I mean that guy's a good football player. I know last year we stopped the run against them in the third and fourth quarter. I mean their quarterback was like Houdini we could not get the guy on the ground. We kind of have two plans. If they are running the ball here is what we have to do and if gets to a situation were they start chucking it the whole game then we got to make some other defensive schemes to play the pass game."
On Buffalo being a dangerous team
"I think they are really dangerous. I told our coaching staff, turn on the film; this is not a 1-4 football team. It's just a team that for whatever reason hasn't found a way to win. I think they are really good. I think Coach Quinn is a good football coach that's recruited good players and they are tough, he's tough. I like their style on both sides of the ball and their special teams play hard. There is zero signs of the program doesn't believe they can win."
On what the come-from-behind wins do to the players mentally
"I wish I could put a finger on it. I just think we have a lot of confidence as coaches and as players. Our resolve, the fact that we don't quit we don't flinch we don't panic and the belief like I said and I think our guys are mentally tough. A lot of our players have a chip on their shoulder and as soon as you put them in a corner you are going to get them chest out and chin up ready to go. We put them in those situations as much as we can as a staff. In the offseason mentally and physically with our offseason program and it's definitely paying dividends. I think the leadership on out team helps. We got some tremendous leaders that aren't just seniors but our juniors' leadership in our junior class is really special right now."
On the comfort of coming from behind on a regular basis
"There is no doubt. I don't remember the score at halftime but one of the things I talked about is you have been in a lot worse situations then this. Even though it wasn't at the time, I didn't think we were playing well. I knew if we flipped the switch that it could go our way fast and that is something we talked about."
On Victor Jacques' return
"Victor has got a lot of control over our front. I think the way he gets our defense lined up quickly. I thought he shocked and shed and played well off of blocks. He's still got to tackle a little better. I think that was kind of expected with the absence he had. Having him in there and having a senior presence in the middle, he was physical in some of his re routes in coverage and just rotate him to keep him fresh with Santa was a good thing. I didn't put too much on him in the first game. I think they both played around 40 snaps, which is a good thing. I think from a longevity for him being able to maintain where he is at."
On if there are certain situations he would use Santacaterina
"Not necessarily. Santa understands the pass game really well so when we get into those scenarios we will use him at times but we will rotate. You'll see Tyrone at times playing in the middle and in our dime packages. Jamal will get in out nickel and it just depends what we are doing. More of it was Coach Kane just making sure Victor didn't have too many plays in a row."
Akeem Daniels, Tailback
On the confidence level of the offense
"I have a lot of confidence with out offense. We practice 100-plus plays each day and you know we do a lot to get better. When things don't go our way, we don't sit there and pout or get down on ourselves. We always find a way to get back up."
On why the team is so successful in the second half
"I think it all starts in the offseason. We are running sprints and instead of people letting up before the line, we are actually finishing through the line. When we think we can bench press five reps we try and get six and go ahead and get that sixth rep. I think the culture is here and the players and everybody else does a good job coaching each other up and helping each other out."
On if coming from behind to win games is a positive or negative
"I try not to take it as a boost because I don't want to get to big-headed and the next game it could slip by and we may end up losing. I just try to take everything one day at a time."
Victor Jacques, Linebacker
On if coming from behind to win games is a positive or negative
"We know football isn't just a one half. We know it is a two half four quarter game so we know we just have to go out there with the goal in mind of what we need to accomplish and just go out their and finish it through all four quarters."
On going up against Jordan Lynch in practice
From the beginning knowing the type of work ethic he had I really had no other expectations for him to do this. Going against him every day makes us better. He runs a quick tempo offense. He is a great athlete so you always got to be playing at your best even in practice so you don't look bad in film. He gives you that competitive edge that you need to maintain throughout the week so when game day come it's a lot easier.
On the Buffalo QB being similar to Jordan
"It definitely prepares you for all aspects that come out of Jordan and out of the Buffalo quarterback whether it is running the ball or throwing the ball. You have to be specific in you skill set in your reads to where you got to find out specifically if it is a run or a pass so having that mixture every day in practice makes the game easier coming from Jordan."
Marckie Hayes, Cornerback
On if coming from behind to win games is a positive or negative
"The biggest thing is to just being able to take mistakes that we would have made throughout the game and being able to fix them so we can come back in the following weeks to come back and be able to perform at even a higher level. I think the ability for us to be able to pull out a win like that is a win in the win column and I think when we go on to the practice field today that we can go and fix out mistakes and continue to play at a higher level."
On going up against Jordan Lynch in practice
"Jordan is an incredible athlete and a great leader in my opinion. Just going up against the offense as a whole week in and week out really prepares the defense because out offense is capable of doing many different things whether it is through the air or on the run game. We are going against some of the better players in the MAC every single week till game day. So I really think it helps prepare us every week going into a game."

Ever wish your sweet tooth could benefit something other than the dental industry?
Well, with Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer, a program run in partnership with Boston magazine, Fox 25 news, and Charles River Partnership, you can do just that. For the week of May 3-May 9th, 100% of the proceeds from special desserts at area bakeries, restaurants, and chocolatiers will go to breast cancer care and research at the Dana Farber institute.
With over 150 restaurants and bakeries slated to participate this year, including everyone from local favorites Flour and Finale to national giant Ben and Jerry's, it should be easy to find a spot to drop in for dessert. A list of all participating restaurants can be found here, and some of them are already posting their planned desserts - the better to plan the order in which to hit up your top 10-15 choices.
Though dedicating the proceeds from a single dish may seem modest, the program has raised over $374,000 in the last 10 years, a number the organization hopes to bring to over $400,000 after this year's week-long event.
So indulge this May (or take mom out for Mother's day) in a way that will make you feel good long after the sugar buzz has worn off.
For more info, visit the Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer website. Event runs May 3-May 9 at Boston area restaurants.
