Red Lemonade Gymnasium - Forty Sentences Challenge [40sent]
40 Sentences Challenge Overview
Once a year for the past several years, I have taken a few weeks break from other creative projects to write a "Forty Sentences Challenge" ("40sent"). What initially began as an urgent, frustrated note to myself to "Write forty goddamn decent sentences that don't make me vomit" scrawled at the top of a legal pad has evolved a bit over the years as I continue to fold in other friends and colleagues into the challenge, and take their feedback.
The basic structure for 40sent is as follows. A writer is tasked to write forty brand new sentences with the only requirement that each sentence must be from a different project/story/character/voice. It is the large number of sentences that provide the difficulty, and the value, to the exercise -- it should be enough to get beyond any at-hand material and force the writer to stretch a bit to make the count. A sentence is finished when the writer feels it is finished.
Then the writer (with a little help from fellow participants and other editorial suggestions) selects twenty of these sentences to extend into "bites" -- a small bite size portion of sentences the length of a paragraph that give each of the selected sentences a context, a first glimpse into the shape of the developing project. Twenty "bites" then become ten one page stories ("One-pagers"), and then five of the "One-pagers" are built out into five to ten page short stories. At the end of the exercise, five separate, brand new, unplanned stories now exist.
Now, there are many, many writing exercises floating around from MFA curriculum to writers workshops to sidebars in writing magazines, and this is at heart just another one of those. However, where this activity differs a bit from writing exercises I have participated in previously rests somewhere between its barebones, unobtrusive structure and the unexpected results that other participants and I have seen: new stories emerging from an attentiveness to language rather than an attempt to build a story from character, plot or conceit. The new stories might have devious, intricate plots, fleshed out characters, and clear messages, but the rudder directing the writer is to be located somewhere there in the teasing out of language, phrasing, word choice rather than any pre-existing plan for the story.
Not to raise anyone's expectations too high, but to date everyone who has participated has come back from 40sent with something lively and worth following up, which is a pretty good batting average for a writing exercise. You might slip your stories into the drawer at the end of the process, but I have a feeling you will come away at the very least creatively re-invigorated as I do each year. That is, after all, one of the primary reasons for participating.
How to Participate
Participating in 40sent is less a stunt-writing sprint (such as NaNoWriMo or 1k 1hr), and more like joining a jogging group for writers to take a couple of laps along a well-worn running path. In truth, you set your own pace, roll your own rules, and deliver when you are done: the goal of jogging is to jog, the goal of 40sent is to get the stages written.
To participate, you need to request to become a writer at Red Lemonade if you aren't one already. Then create a first chapter with the 40sent description below, starting with Part One, and a declaration of your deadlines. Include the marker [40sent] in your title so that other writers can recognize what sort of project you are starting -- this will invite them to check out your work! Then create a new chapter with your 40 Sentences.
I will be creating a new "book" here at Red Lemonade for my 40sent challenge, with the following chapters:
- Chapter 1: 40sent Challenge description / Declaration of Deadlines
- Chapter 2: 40 Sentences
- Chapter 3: 20 Bites
- Chapter 4: 10 One-Pagers
- Chapter 5: First Story
- Chapter 6: Second Story
- Chapter 7: Third Story
- Chapter 8: Fourth Story
- Chapter 9: Fifth Story
- Chapter 10: Wrap Up
I have been wanting to bring this activity to Red Lemonade for a while now -- I feel its mix of challenging the individual to complete each stage and inviting feedback/encouragement from other participants and observers as to which threads to follow is a perfect match for how things work here, and I very much look forward to seeing what experiences others have here as well as participating myself.
It helps with this exercise to announce the deadlines before you start. Here's the schedule I intend to follow:
- Week 1: 40 Sentences
- Week 2-5: 20 Bites (one per weekday)
- Week 6-7: 10 One-Pagers (one per weekday)
- Week 8: 5 Stories - First story
- Week 9: Second story
- Week 10: Third story
- Week 11: Fourth
- Week 12: Fifth story
My old schedule for accompishing each stage in just one week demands rigorous 4 hours a day -- not possible for all of us who have demanding jobs or other project deadlines. My new twelve week schedule allows me to fit this in with limited time to commit, around other writing projects. Race through that first 40 sentences within one week and then divide the part two into 1 bite per day until you are done (four weeks) and part three into 1 one-pager per day (2 weeks). If you are just stumbling on this now and want to give 40sent a go yourself, set a schedule and get started at the beginning.
Part One: Forty Sentences
Write forty sentences (sentence pairs permitted) each for "separate stories" (however you interpret this). They can range broadly in style/purpose, but in each case the writer attends to phrasing, word choice, and structure of languge as means to suggest an unexplored potential narrative space.
These are not "first sentences"; these are not "last sentences"; these need not be "turns" in the narrative. The more important condition in each case must be: judging by your own ear, is each sentence as long/short, concise/expansive, elevated/plainspoken as suits the new story that it initiates? What is vigorous, lively writing to you? My original name for this stage was, simply, "write forty goddamn decent sentences that don't make me vomit."
Hint One: start with #40 and count down. Half of the difficulty of the activity is in completing it. Remember that sentences that at first glance appear "unsuccessful" may open up to you upon consideration between this stage and the next. Keep going.
Hint Two: If forty sentences doesn't exhaust you creatively, then you may be writing them too slowly or too quickly. If this description applies to you, your Stage One challenge is eighty sentences. (And if eighty sentences is too easy….) Cut your double (quadruple) list back down to forty before moving on to the next stage.
Moving to the second round, the writer chooses twenty of the original forty sentences to re-work as "bites." (I'll get to what that means below.) While the selection of sentences to carry forward to the next stage rests with the writer, those editorially inclined (including writers building their own 40sent project) are encouraged to participate by commenting on the posted forty sentence list and indicating personal favorites. What sentences are grabbing your ear? Which suggest a narrative that you want to hear out of this writer?
Part Two: Twenty Bites
By "bites" I refer to the smallest digestible unit of a piece of writing. Could be longer or shorter than a paragraph, and typically the writer has a sense of where to stop without formal guidelines. (Gertrude Stein: "A sentence is not emotional a paragraph is".)
Why not say paragraph and be done with it? Well, think of that portion of paragraph that emerges from that sentence from the first stage -- and stabs out in a single direction suggesting the world of the story. The key thing is being forced to go from the initial sentence (which can be pretty abstract) to the suggestion of something more explicit and tangible: narrative or character, for example.
Hint One: Think about that portion that you swallow after chewing a bite of food. More, and you might choke, less and peristalsis fails to pipe the food to your stomach. Another way to think of this: a riff, the cluster of musical gestures heading off in a direction.
Hint Two: these are the units for a single moment/idea, rather than how the final text will be integrated into larger context of the story. In actual usage, you would likely join another image to this one or interrupt it with another element (dialogue, description, thought, etc.). These are the basic tiles might require scoring and breaking to fit the available space in the overall design.
Part Three: Ten One-Pagers
Choose the "most promising" (or at worst, chosen by chance) ten of the bites generated by the previous stage. The task is now to expand/revise each selected bite into a "one-pager" length story/fragment (roughly 300w-450w). The writer may attempt to complete the story within one page or break the story at an arbitrary word length.
Hint One: Unlike the Bites stage, these pieces are to be written much closer in shape to their intended use. This is also the opportunity for you to suggest the larger context of the potential story that will include this page, open lots of doors and windows.
Hint Two: If writing ten one-pagers doesn't leave you sweating, write one-pagers for each of the twenty bites. Or else write an alternative to each of the ten selected thought parcels that departs as radically as possible from the previous use of the text. Cull your list down to the best ten before moving on to the next stage.
Part Four: Five Stories
Choose five of the one-pagers. I suggest you choose the ones that would please you the most to write — writing five stories is challenging enough as it is, no additional "stunts" should be necessary. Make it happen. It is your contract with those who have read along with you to get you here that you continue this project to its end.
These are five new stories originating from felicitous sentences: little gifts from the strangeness that is the human imagination, crystalized into form by the activity of language.
Hint: Do your best to wrap up the narrative as fast as possible. I suggest you try to wrap them up in five to ten pages each before chasing any of the narratives into major projects, but if you are really on a roll, heaven forbid I try to stop you! If you take more than a week for each story, you are probably reducing the chances that you will complete all five.

A lot of people think the heavens opened for your family and dropped fame and fortune into your laps.
I wish it were that easy. I've been working nonstop for 20 years. When I married Bruce, it was sort of hit the ground running. I married a guy who was really talented and had been doing motivational speeches for Fortune 500 companies—and this is a guy who didn't have a business card or a press kit. People who were in his business had all these marketing tools, and Bruce was just winging it. I knew he could be much bigger.
In his book Finding the Champion Within, he says that when he met you, he was $500,000 in debt and living in a one-room apartment.
He was at a place where he had really low self-esteem and thought, Now what do I do with my life? I think I was probably a breath of fresh air. But he brought the goods. Managing isn't a magic show. You don't work with somebody and instill talent in them. I am blessed to have these children who have the most amazing work ethic. I have a 13-year-old and a 15-year-old [Kylie and Kendall Jenner], who were at a meeting at 8:30 this morning with Ryan Seacrest Productions to talk about their careers. They were at this crazy-long conference table with executives, who are fascinated by what the girls have to say. That's better than any education I could offer them.
You started as a flight attendant and then became a housewife. Were you prepared to become a business manager?
I was the Brownie leader and the soccer coach and room mother and car pool driver. Being a mom gave me great knowledge of how to be a professional multitasker. I see a problem, and I fix it. To me, Bruce was a problem that needed to be fixed.
Did you have professional ambitions during your first marriage?
Oh God, no. I was working 24 hours a day trying to raise four babies. I didn't want to be anything but a mom for a very long time.
So after you married Bruce Jenner, how did you know the right way to package and market him?
I just figured it all out. [I used] gorgeous folders for his press kits. I made stickers of him crossing the finish line, and that was his logo. To me, it's all about the details. I think everything wrapped in a beautiful bow makes it that much more attractive.
When I wanted to get Bruce into the Sherwood Country Club [with the idea of making business contacts], I had his press kits on everybody's deskalong with little Hasbro Bruce Jenner dolls and his Wheaties boxes. I had thrown the most amazing parties for so many years [while married to Robert Kardashian]. It's like, "OK, these are your party favors." You have to figure out a way to communicate with people.
What's the secret to becoming self-made?
If someone says no, you're asking the wrong person. Don't get discouraged, and don't be afraid to try new things. Get organized.
What's been your biggest success since you became an entrepreneur?
The thing I'm most proud of right now is our relationship with Sears. I've been working on getting the girls a lifestyle line—apparel, shoes, bags—for the last three years. When I came upon the Sears opportunity, it was perfect. My grandmother took me there all the time; it's one of my favorite memories. Who knew that all these years later, my girls would have their own line at Sears?
How do you know a business opportunity is right for the brand?
I use my intuition. When something starts to feel really forced or not natural or doesn't resonate with my family, I know it's time to walk away.

Grooming and Care Advice
30 April 2012 10:54
Research has shown that, over a certain temperature tendon cells in horses' lower legs are prone to damage. In short, the hotter your horse's legs become the greater the risk of killing tendon cells and risking inflammation. As exercise will inevitably cause your horse's lower legs heat up, especially in hot weather, it's important to take care to cool them down after hard work.
To avoid over heating during hard work and to cool legs down after work bear the following in mind:
- If your horse wears boots when working, consider the material and structure of the boot – if the material is thick and foamy it's less likely to be able to release heat
- If your horse's legs are hot after work try cold hosing to bring down the temperature
- Remove boots immediately after work in order to allow heat to escape from the leg
Research by Alan Wilson and Allen Goodship (1994) at the University of Bristol indicated that the temperature inside tendons of horses in gallop (without boots on) could reach 45°C - further research has shown that at this temperature a percentage of tendon cells will die.

|"Frank Frazetta's Dark Kingdom" #2 on sale October 14
Sea monsters, ocean-dwelling witches, bloodsucking thorns, and the ever-menacing Death Dealer – these are just a few of the awful obstacles in store for Red Morden in October's "Dark Kingdom" #2, the first of three new issues from Frazetta Comics and Image Comics. Continuing where the April 2008-released "Dark Kingdom" #1 left off, series writer Mark Kidwell and artist Tim Vigil return to tell more sword and sorcery tales with the Red Reaver, who remains devastated and blood-hungry following the death of his family in the first one-shot. This time, however, there might be a way to restore Morden's wife to life… but can Morden himself be saved?
CBR News checked in with writer Kidwell for the answer to that question and many more.
"Dark Kingdom" #1 told the tale of Red Morden, a hardened warrior with softness only for his family. "In the first book, Morden was a pirate, a berserker bent on the destruction of his and his clan's enemies and the capture of stolen booty and treasure to support his family," Kidwell told CBR. "His rages and battle lust were controlled only by the existence and love of his wife, Brynna. She was completely opposite in nature, with a peaceful, strong will and a loving soul. She was the core of Red Morden's life and the key to calming him, allowing him to live a life other than that of the bloody sea raider. Then she was gone, murdered by a beast along with her children."
By the end of the first issue, Morden is able to avenge Brynna's death – but Kidwell said the loss of Morden's moral center changes the hero forever, creating an even more brutal warrior that teeters on the edge of sanity. But if nothing else, Morden has his eye on the prize: there is a fabled artifact that could very well resurrect his wife.
"[The second issue] picks up right where the first issue left off – with Morden sailing the icy Brumal Sea in search of a mysterious, whispered legend," Kidwell said. "The legend speaks of a magic talisman that has the power to return life to the bodies of the dead. Obsessed with using this magic to breathe life back into his dead wife, Morden is prepared to face all odds to get what he wants. He's nearly suicidal in his quest to get her back."
From there, "Dark Kingdom" proceeds exactly as you'd expect it to: a whole lot of steel and a whole lot of revenge, with some mythical opponents peppered in for good measure. "This is Swords and Sorcery 101," Kidwell said of the book's tone. "The single best thing about writing Morden's saga is that he's a barbarian. I can do away with all the polite trappings of any sort of medieval society or civilization and concentrate on raw life. These characters are motivated by their own primal wants and desires. They're hard and savage enough to take on anything in their path, but they pay the price in doing so. Morden doesn't worry about how his actions are seen by others; he only worries about the strength in his axe-arm and the frailties of his own flesh. His world is designed to be as harsh as the man himself. It's brutal, unforgiving and wild. There aren't any cities or taverns to get drunk in and lick your wounds – it's a world that will take and keep taking from you if you let your guard down."
|"Frank Frazetta's Dark Kingdom" #2 on sale October 14
One creature that Morden will have to keep his eye on is the Death Dealer, fresh off the pages of Joshua Ortega's "Death Dealer" miniseries. "In bringing Death Dealer to 'Dark Kingdom,' we obviously wanted to give the Death Dealer fans more of the character to enjoy; what we didn't want was a trite, contrived way of joining the stories of these two characters, so we hammered at it until it made sense," Kidwell explained. "Death Dealer is a creature inspired to take corporeal form at any disturbance of life's natural balance. Thus, he comes roaring out in times of war and brutality to level the playing field between armies and show them the error of their violent ways, taking no one's side, just swinging that black axe and dealing slaughter on all fronts. When Morden gets close to changing the whim of fate by cheating death and raising Brynna from the dead, Death Dealer's natural sensibilities are aroused. He basically comes forth to stand between Morden and his goal, attempting to preserve life's natural balance and show the Vikavian berserker the folly of continuing."
The battle between Morden and the Death Dealer will occur in the paneled pages of issue #4, but the two books leading up to that climactic collision will take a different form. "Dark Kingdom" #2 and #3 are written in prose format with accompanying illustrations by Tim Vigil, offering a unique glimpse into the Frazetta universe than what's already been seen. "I originally approached [Frazetta Comics overseer] Jay Fotos about pitching a full-blown 'Dark Kingdom' novel to the Frazettas," Kidwell said of the format's origin. "He decided to think about it for a bit and in the interim had lunch at a show with Tim Vigil, who also pitched the idea of illustrated prose. The result was Jay calling me and asking if I'd be interested in keeping the stuff in comic-size serialized format and doing it as a text story with spot and splash illustrations. I agreed immediately."
The result is what Kidwell described as a comic book Oreo – issues #1 and #4 are in standard paneled format, sandwiching two illustrated prose stories in issues #2 and #3. "Two tasty standard cookies on either end and a load of amazing, fattening prose goodness in the center," explained the writer. "We had a ton of story to tell and the limitations of three issues of panel-to-panel storytelling were too strict. The prose stuff lets us tell a much broader story without a lot of uncomfortable scene jumps and smoother, chapter-like transitions. There's a lot of entertainment in 'Dark Kingdom,' and I think readers are gonna be amazed at the bang they'll get for their comics buck."
A big part of that bang comes from series artist Tim Vigil, who Kidwell can't describe without a good measure of glee. "Man, Tim hates it when I go all fanboy on his work, but I do it anyway," he said. "I've been a huge Vigil fan since I was in high school. I even snuck copies of 'Faust' and 'EO' into geometry to read behind my textbook. That was risking expulsion if you've seen those books! But it beat geometry all to hell. Tim's stuff on 'Dark Kingdom' is, in a word, amazing. You think you like his work now? Wait until you see some of the splash pages in this series. They are simply masterpieces. Every time he e-mails me a new batch, I just stare at his ink and line work and shake my head. He's that good."
|"Frank Frazetta's Dark Kingdom" #2 on sale October 14
No matter how good Vigil's artwork is, even the illustrator can't save Morden from his ultimate fate. In the first pages of "Dark Kingdom" #1, readers were treated to a glimpse of Red Morden's skeleton, though his exact cause of death remains unknown. "The miniseries is pretty much self-contained and will show you by issue #4 how the Red Reaver met his end," Kidwell said. "[But] Morden's book will never be closed as far as I'm concerned. I've got story ideas for tons of new stuff and a plot line that will allow the tales to span time before the events of the current series and after. After his death, you ask? Yeah, post-mortem! Popularity and reader demand will always determine how much of it you'll see and how much of it will just play out over and over in my imagination."
Whether or not Red Morden fights another day past "Dark Kingdom" #4, Kidwell is at the very least proud of this miniseries and the Frazetta line in general. "Everyone involved has really gone above and beyond expectations to present something rare and different in the realm of fantasy comics," he said. "It's a reading experience that, while it has roots in a format from the past, turns a new light on within the medium. It's a return and a progression, blended and fine-tuned to give the reader an action-packed but in-depth look at Morden's grim saga and his savage corner of the Frazetta-verse. But above all, it's sword and sorcery, heroic fantasy done the way it should be. It's pure escapism with a heart and iron-hard first full of steel. I urge all fans of this genre to give it a spin – I think you'll dig the ride."
"Dark Kingdom" #2 hits stores on October 14 from Frazetta Comics and Image Comics.

News: Waka Flocka Flame On Nicki Minaj Grammy Awards Criticism, "That's Bullsh*t" [Video]
Monday, Feb 20, 2012 12:06PM
A week after rap star Nicki Minaj raised eyebrows with her controversial Grammy Awards performance, Atlanta's Waka Flocka Flame has come to his mother's ex-client's defense.
Along with backing up Nicki, Flocka killed speculation suggesting she may be down with the Illuminati (devil worshipping).
"I ain't got no thoughts on that, that's bullsh*t. Honeslty, — n*ggas just make up names 'cause they don't know people's business," Flocka said in an interview. "So they create business for people's business. Like, if people stop being so nosy and stay out of people's business, maybe the name Illuminati won't be created. Honestly, they're just making a lot of money off of that sh*t because they selling books to people that's buying it, and that money is generating millions. I don't believe in that sh*t. Salute to Nicki, I loved her performance. I love everything she does. Squad." (Toronto Rappers)
A few days ago, Young Money's Lil Twist also stood up for Minaj.
"I loved Nicki's song and performance," Twist beamed to XXLMag.com in New York City recently. "I love Nicki's whole swagger. She doesn't care what anyone else thinks. That's what I really love about my sister and how she goes about herself. That performance was Nicki. That's all I can, say–it was so Nicki." (XXL Mag)
Catholic League president Bill Donohue recently aired out the self-proclaimed Barbie's religious-themed set.
"Nicki Minaj, fresh off looking like a fool with Madonna at the Super Bowl, showed up last night (February 12) on the red carpet at the Grammys with a guy dressed like the pope. This was just a prelude of what was to come. Minaj's performance began on stage with a mock confessional skit. This was followed by a taped video depicting a mock exorcism. With stained glass in the background, she appeared on stage again with choir boys and monks dancing. Perhaps the most vulgar part was the sexual statement that showed a scantily clad female dancer stretching backwards while an altar boy knelt between her legs in prayer. Finally, "Come All Ye Faithful" was sung while a man posing as a bishop walked on stage; Minaj was shown levitating." (Catholic League)
Back in 2010, rap veteran Uncle Luke defended hip-hop mogul Jay-Z in light of his devil worshipping accusations.
"I don't know any devil worshippers. And who knows, maybe Jay-Z and other rappers have some devil worshipers as fans. But that doesn't mean entertainers are sacrificing virgins for Beelzebub. I didn't even know who the Illuminati were until the Internet started buzzing that Jay-Z was one of them. It's ridiculous. Jay-Z is a cool cat. He ain't Hollywood. He is a regular guy. He is so f*cking grounded. It is a shame people want to link him to this conspiracy." (The 305)

Nov. 18, 2012
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - Bucknell and Navy both made sure their season-opening skids were short lived as each picked up their first wins of the season, giving the Patriot League a 2-1 Saturday.
Alyssa Dunn netted a career-high 22 points as Bucknell (1-2) picked up the first victory of the Aaron Roussell era with a 59-50 triumph at Canisius. It's the Bison's first non-League road win since Jan. 6, 2010. Felicia Mgbada pitched in 11 points and six rebounds in 18 quality minutes off the bench, while Lindsay Horbatuck dragged down a game-high 13 rebounds and Shelby Romine dished eight assists. Bucknell led by as many as 14 early in the second half before Canisius clawed back within 38-36 just past the midway point and 41-40 a little after that. But the Bison never relinquished the lead, using a 12-2 run to regain control late.
Navy (1-2) shot over 40 percent for the game and sank eight 3-pointers to defeat St. Peter's 64-53 in its home opener Saturday night. Jade Geif scored a game-high 17 points on 7-of-9 from the field with five rebounds and a block, while Kara Pollinger added in 15 points with five assists. Pollinger sank four of Navy's eight treys, while the Mids outrebounded the Peahens 39-35. Navy grew the lead to as many as 17 points late in the second half.
Cari Reed's 3-pointer with three seconds left was the dagger as New Hampshire outlasted Holy Cross (1-2) 68-65 at the Hart Center in Worcester, Mass. The Crusaders led 54-43 midway through the second half, but the Wildcats scored 14 of the next 16 points, which gave them a 57-56 lead with under five minutes remaining. Emily Parker scored four straight points with less than a minute left to tie the game at 65, setting up Reed's trey in the final seconds. Alex Smith led Holy Cross with 16 points, while Brisje Malone added 12.
Two contests are on the Sunday slate. Army welcomes Penn to West Point for a 1 p.m. tip, while Lafayette hits the road to take on No. 9/9 Penn State at 2 p.m.
Bucknell 59, at Canisius 50
at Navy 64, St. Peter's 53
New Hampshire 68, at Holy Cross 65

Yesterday, a lunch truck exploded into a wall of fire in the city's Feltonville section when around 5:30 p.m. the rear left propane tank ignited. The truck parked outside an automotive repair shop, and it is believed to be an accidental explosion of the truck's propane tank, used for cooking, but police are investigating. As the fireball engulfed the truck a mother, 42, and her teen daughter who worked on the food truck were severely injured. According to Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small the two were rushed to area hospitals and are in critical condition with burns across a substantial part of their body. The explosion also injured 9 others who were treated at area hospitals.
According to the Philadelphia police, the La Parrillada Chapina food truck was parked along 3rd Street near Wyoming Avenue in the city's Feltonville section when around 5:30 p.m. the rear left propane tank ignited. According to reports the force of the blast sent the metal tank flying 50 feet into the backyard of a home as flames shot 200 feet into the air. Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small stated that ""We want to ensure that this was an accidental explosion. We want to ensure this wasn't anything criminal." He continued and said, "The bomb squad is investigating to see if there is any foul play. That will be the result of a completed investigation."
The explosion sent neighbors running and caused damage to other buildings in the vicinity. According to reports today, the 42-year-old mother and her 17-year-old daughter are both in critical condition at Temple University Hospital. The 23-year-old woman and 13-year-old were both upgraded from critical to stable. Police say the 23-year-old suffered second and third-degree burns to her entire body. The eight other victims were treated and released.
The explosion, which could be heard for miles, was caught on video on surveillance cameras. The explosion was so intense that one of two that fuels the food truck, was found about 150 feet away in a residential backyard and that a telephone pole across the street caught fire, but the fire did not reach any of the homes across the street or businesses that were next to the truck. Two cars driving by the explosion caught fire briefly.
The investigation continues into the explosion.

Linda E. Fischer, CEED, Benton County
Problem Statement:
Continual heavy rains and flooding in the spring and early summer of 2008 prevented timely planting for Benton County crop producers. Crop producers needed help making replanting decisions and decisions related to crop insurance with delayed or no planting. A local producer called requesting a meeting for local producers.
Programmatic Response:
One of ISU Extension's strengths has been to respond in time of crisis. The flooding of 2008 was a crisis for many Benton County crop producers. At the request of a crop producer a meeting was organized, promoted, and held within four days on June 12th. Local news papers, flyers faxed to all Ag businesses, and radio advertising on WMT were used to promote the meeting held in Vinton. On June 10 and 11 Vinton would be devastated by the worst flood in history. The North part of the county would be cut off from Vinton as Highway 150 was washed out. When Vinton lost its power generation plant June 11th in the flood, the meeting still went on as scheduled in a darkened church sanctuary. Forty two crop producers and one crop insurance agent attended the meeting.
Jim Fawcett, Iowa State University Extension Field Agronomist discussed potential yields with delayed planting, replanting options, and cover crops for unplanted fields. Jim Jensen, ISU Extension Farm Management Specialist talked about crop insurance concerns related to prevented planting, replanting, or changing crop plans. Farm Service Agency shared what information they had regarding the disaster.
Following the meeting Farm Service Agency and Natural Resource Conservation Service both requested that the information presented at the meeting be mailed to all farm operators in the county, especially the ISU Ag Decision Maker bulletin, File A1-57, Delayed and Prevented Planting Provisions. A mailing to all 1087 farm operators in Benton County was completed with volunteer help and generated power the day after the meeting. In addition, an ISU Extension news release on the topic was published in local news papers.
Verbal communication indicated the meeting and mailing had impacts. One local crop insurance agent said the Ag Decision Maker piece was the best she had seen that explained how crop insurance coverage works with late, prevented, or replanting decisions. At least three farmers told me that the information at the meeting and the mailings helped them make their decisions on replanting and whether to even plant. For one producer it made his decision to plant his soybeans on July 1st rather than take prevented planting.

The Oxford Handbook of the History of Medicine

Oxford University Press

What is included with this book?
- The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any CDs, lab manuals, study guides, etc.
The Oxford Handbook of the History of Medicine celebrates the richness and variety of medical history around the world. In recent decades, the history of medicine has emerged as a rich and mature sub-discipline within history, but the strength of the field has not precluded vigorous debatesabout methods, themes, and sources. Bringing together over thirty international scholars, this handbook provides a constructive overview of the current state of these debates, and offers new directions for future scholarship. There are three sections: the first explores the methodological challenges and historiographical debates generated by working in particular historical ages; the second explores the history of medicine in specific regions of the world and their medical traditions, and includes discussion of the'global history of medicine'; the final section analyses, from broad chronological and geographical perspectives, both established and emerging historical themes and methodological debates in the history of medicine.

Dr. Melissa Sundermann is a wife and mother of two, she recently started her own business, and as if that isn't enough, she's also a doctor who sees patients at Midwest Internal Medicine Associates and at Botsford Hospital. Oh, and she's an accomplished marathon runner and triathlon competitor, recently finishing as the fastest female over age 40 from Michigan in the Boston Marathon (third fastest female from Michigan overall). People like Dr. Sundermann and their ability to accomplish so much in any given day amaze us. Most of us can't seem to find the time to fit in just a little exercise!
Dr. Sundermann has the same amount of time in the day as the rest of us, so how does she manage family, essentially three jobs, and the rigorous training required to participate — and place well — in marathons? Better yet, how can we fit simple exercise into our own busy lives?
First of all, you don't have to be a tri-athlete to lead a healthy lifestyle. Second, Dr. Sundermann is practically a pro who has honed her fitness habits and time management skills for years. So you don't have to make drastic changes to get healthier. Instead, start slowly so you can create habits. Dr. Sundermann offers these 7 tips to fit exercise into a busy life:
- Time management is key. First of all you have to find the time to get some exercise. Take a look at your life to find where you can fit in 30 minutes for yourself. Most of us can find 30 minutes of unproductive time in our day. You know, that time spent on Facebook, watching TV, on the computer, or waiting around while the kids are at practice. It might take some tough choices and sacrificing some things that we like to do, but once you try replacing them with a physical activity that you enjoy you won't miss them at all.
- Set a goal – any goal – and make it reasonable. For example, to walk in a 5K race or simply to establish a regular exercise program.
- Take baby steps to getting to your goal. Walk only five minutes at a time every day this week and next week increase it to 10 minutes.
- Find a partner. Having someone to exercise with can hold you accountable to your goals. If someone is waiting for you to meet them for a morning jog, you'll be less likely to hit the snooze button.
- Do something you like. Don't force it. If you make yourself do something just because it's healthy, you're not going to stick to it or you'll procrastinate and waste time. Do something you enjoy so it's more like you're doing something for you, not because it is something you have to do. Of all the physical activities Dr. Sundermann participates in, her favorite activity is running. She's even created a network of friends around it—people in running groups and marathons she's entered, even co-workers and friends who share the same love of running. These are people who she can now socialize with while she's getting a great workout, which makes the activity even more enjoyable.
- Establish a routine – and make it in the morning. Dr. Sundermann says if she doesn't fit it in the morning, it won't get done. Life will get in the way. Chores, work, family obligations and tons of other things all have to get done. And by the time you do them you're too tired. Getting exercise in the morning not only makes sure it gets done, but it will also give you the energy you need to tackle your day. Set your alarm an hour earlier (or start with baby steps and set it 15 minutes, then 30 and so on). It will be hard to get out of bed, but once you're up and moving you'll be fine.
- Add physical activity to your family's life. Get the kids and spouse involved in fun family activities. They don't have to know it's good for them, just that it's fun! Get the kids on a soccer team and offer to coach it. Play a family game of touch football on the weekend or go for hikes or bike rides.
How have you fit exercise into your or your family's busy life? We'd love to hear your tips in the comments below!

Barrow County man snags $1M Mega Millions prize
ATLANTA – Jesse Whitley, 30, of Bethlehem matched the first five numbers from the Dec. 17 Mega Millions drawing to win a $1 million prize.
Whitley, an air conditioning and heating repairman, set a reminder on his phone to purchase a ticket for Tuesday night's drawing.
He checked his numbers online Wednesday morning and realized he had a winning ticket. He shared the good news with his wife.

Whitley purchased his lucky Quik Pik ticket at CITGO Food Mart, 529 Patrick Mill Road S.W. in Winder.
Whitley, a married father of one with a second child on the way, says he and his wife have not yet decided what they will do with the big win.

North Carolina agrees to new rules restricting gill nets
Published: Thursday, May 13, 2010 at 2:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 13, 2010 at 5:28 p.m.
State fishery officials have agreed to new restrictions on gill nets to settle a lawsuit by the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center on Topsail Island.
New rules
Highlights of the new gill net regulations:
• Nets can be set only one hour before sunset on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and retrieved no later than one hour after sunrise the following morning.
• No more than 15 meshes in height.
• Fishing operations south of the N.C. 58 bridge in Emerald Isle may use only a total of 1,000 yards of net in any combination at any one time. Net amount is 2,000 yards north of the bridge.
• No more than 100 yards of net may be set in a continuous line.
• There must be at least 25 yards between separate lengths of net.
Source: N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries
The turtle hospital sued the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries and state Marine Fisheries Commission in February over the lack of adequate protections to keep endangered sea turtles from getting caught in gill nets used in inshore waters.
The federal government also has been pressing North Carolina to do something to reduce the increasing number of "interactions" between the fishermen and the turtles, which are federally protected.
But previous efforts to limit the nets struck a nerve, with the state's commercial fishermen contending the fishing practice is part of their heritage and the only way to make some fishing – especially in the state's extensive sounds and other inland waterways – economically viable.
Mississippi is the only other coastal state that still allows gill nets.
The revised regulations, which were unanimously approved by the commission on Thursday and go into effect on Saturday, include restrictions on the size of gill nets and when they can be used.
It also calls for an enhanced "observer" program, where volunteers accompany fishermen when they go out to check their nets, and the establishment of a new committee to advise state officials on sea turtle protection.
But the science-based agreement takes the state into uncharted waters. It also isn't known how fishermen will react to the new regulations or whether they go far enough to satisfy federal regulators.
The state is negotiating with National Marine Fisheries on a new statewide permit proposal that would allow the "incidental take" of sea turtles in gill nets all along the coast rather than just in portions of Pamlico Sound.
But Jean Beasley, executive director of the turtle hospital, said the agreement offered a real-world, research-based opportunity to try and find a solution to a problem that has been brewing for years.
"The goal was always to preserve the fishing industry in North Carolina and at the same time give sea turtles and other wildlife greater protection," she said. "We feel this agreement does that."
Beasley added that many of the new initiatives are based on research into fish and turtle behavior that has been gathered over the years, both in the wild and – in the case of sea turtles – from animals receiving treatment at the turtle hospital.
They include rules only allowing gill nets to be "soaked" overnight, when turtles are least active.
Nets also will no longer be allowed to stretch all the way through the water column. Instead, they'll end a few feet below the surface to allow turtles and waterfowl to swim or travel over them.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has raised concerns about waterfowl and shorebirds getting caught up in the nets.
Michelle Nowlin, supervising attorney for the Duke Environmental Law and Policy Clinic, which represents the turtle hospital, said officials on both sides worked hard to develop a settlement that's fair and balanced.
"I think it signals a new day for fisheries management in North Carolina," she said, referring to the science-based approach taken in the settlement. "This is something that represents a bona fide compromise that we really worked hard in order to find a middle ground that protects sea turtles, but also protects a viable fishing industry in North Carolina."
Sean McKeon, president of the N.C. Fisheries Association, couldn't be reached for comment late Thursday afternoon.

The bus dropped us off at the Summit County police station, a single-cell facility five miles from Keystone. We didn't know where else to go after learning from the HR department that all summer jobs at Keystone were filled. Perhaps we should have called ahead.
Scraggly and tired after a 12-hour train ride and a treacherous bus ride up the mountain, we stared speechless at one other.
"I don't even have enough money for a ticket home," I told my travel-mates.
Surrounded by suitcases, we sat on the lobby bench, dejected and searching for our next move.
"What about that piece of paper your mom stuck in your pocket?" Alicia asked.
"Oh yeah," I said, remembering Mom's last gesture before we departed Union Station.
"If you run into any trouble, call this number," she told us, as she hugged me goodbye.
I pulled the number out my pocket and headed to the pay phone.
Forty minutes later, Father John, a young dark-haired priest dressed in jeans and a flannel shirt, pulled up to the station, his black Jeep churning dust from the unpaved road.
"Hop in girls," he said, in a matter-of fact voice. "You'll be staying at St. Mary's rectory tonight."
Elated by this happy turn of events and the kindness of this stranger, we hoisted our luggage in the back trunk and crowded in for a bumpy ride down the mountain.
# # #
At first, they look like two red dots on a white cloud, but soon I can see the stretcher sled that connects them. Relieved by the sight of my saviors, I sit up and slip on my gloves.
Before long, with an expert hockey stop, the athletic blonde sprays snow in front of me.
"You must be Mary Ann?"
I nod sheepishly. "Boy, am I glad to see you."
"Sorry, for the delay. My name is Jennifer, and this is my partner Sean. The dispatcher told us you were under Gondola 18. We had a hard time finding you. Are you hurt?"
"No, I'm fine."
"How did you end up here?"
Shading my eyes from the sun, I look up at Jennifer.
"Do you mind if I tell you that later?"
"Not at all. Let's focus on getting you down."
She surveys the scene with her partner and confers on our options.
"Are you able to stand and walk?"
"I can stand, but walk where?"
She points down the steep drop off in front of us.
"No way! I'm sure I would tumble straight down."
She nods and confers again with Sean.
"Okay, we're going to have to ski it then," she says. "Let's get you on the stretcher."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"Let me get this straight. You are going to ski off this cliff down that steep drop with me on a stretcher?"
"Don't worry," Sean says. "This is what we train for. It's going to be fun. You've made our day!"
This is not the kind of "fun" I had in mind when I booked this vacation last year. But I have no choice.
"Okay. Let's do it."
# # #
It was later afternoon, when Father John showed us to the rectory's guest room, a tidy, somewhat sterile room with three bunk beds, a desk and a lone crucifix hanging on a white wall.
"You three look awfully tired. You'll find some snacks in the kitchen. Feel free to eat or sleep. We'll get to work tomorrow."
I immediately took a top bunk and was soon in a deep and heavy sleep.
We stayed with Father John for three days, earning our keep by cleaning the rectory and helping prepare meals. As the de facto Catholic priest for the resort — Father John offered Sunday Mass at Keystone's quaint chapel — our host was able to secure jobs for us on campus: two dishwashers and a janitor. As thanks, we promised to attend his Mass during our stay and visit him often.
I found a box of stick matches in the kitchen cabinet, pulled out three, broke one in half and handed them to Father John.

Looking elegant but a bit bulky, Lieutenant Gilbert L. Meyers of the 35th Pursuit Squadron models his government issued flying ensemble: an A-8 oxygen mask, B-6 goggles, B-3 winter jacket, A-3 trousers, B-5 helmet, A-9 gloves, A-6 shoes, and S-1 harness. He's standing next to the tail of a Curtiss P-40 Warhawk.
The photograph was taken by one of the great aviation photographers, Rudy Arnold (1902-1966). Arnold took up a specialty in aviation photography while working for the New York Graphic newspaper. In 1928, he began his own business, working out of New York City airports. Arnold's photographs appeared in both aviation and in mass circulation magazines, and in the house publications of the major aircraft manufacturers; he also made movies for Universal and Paramount. Arnold captured an exciting period of aviation history in his pictures – but it wasn't easy work, as he later explained:
"All through the early days of flying, I worked as an aerial news photographer, and today I've got the gray hair, scars, and shaky nerves to prove it…"
The Rudy Arnold Photo Collection is held by the National Air and Space Museum's Archives Division – browse though a selection of Arnold's photographs, or have a look at the collection's finding aid.

The following is a reprint from Friction Zone Magazine and we thank them.
Mr. Motorcycle. Nearly everyone in Canada knew Frederick Trevor (Trev) Deeley by that nickname. After all, by the time he passed away at age 82 in March of 2002, he had six solid and very successful decades behind him of racing, selling, collecting, customizing, designing, and well, just generally promoting all things motorcycle. Trev Deeley was one of those individuals who managed to combine his birthright with passion, shrewd business acumen, fearlessness, and intelligence so spectacularly that he left behind not only an empire, but also a hefty legacy. In his case, the empire he built rests on Fred Deeley Ltd., which is the sole Canadian distributor (and the only one in the world not partially or wholly owned by the factory) of Harley Davidson motorcycles and branded merchandise. On the legacy side, Deeley also left behind Canada's largest private collection of motorcycles—a 280-strong (and still growing) dream garage of machines that ranges across 60 marques and illustrates the long history of the Deeley's involvement in the industry.

Question: Please provide an update on the detention situation of prisoners of Sub-Saharan descent in Libya.
Answer: We remain concerned that sub-Saharan migrants are still being detained based apparently on their skin color and an assumption that they have supported Qadhafi. Moreover, we remain troubled by reports of their treatment while in detention. We urge the TNC to honor its stated commitment to the rule of law and respect for the universal human rights of all people in Libya. We will continue to engage the TNC on this issue moving forward.
Additionally, we remain very concerned about the fate of the civilians, non-combatants and detainees in Sirte. We call on all parties to avoid civilian casualties, to treat prisoners in accordance with International Humanitarian Law, and to refrain from all acts of retribution.

Bacon, Steak, Potato & Cheese Kabobs
This is a fun dinnertime shortcut - it uses inexpensive ingredients like tator tots, but in a unique new way! Layer all of the goodies on skewers, and have the perfect dinner to please picky kiddos, since every kid loves food on a stick. Or, add sides of gourmet dipping sauces for a great party food that's easy to eat while mingling.

Southwestern Style Chicken Tortilla Soup
This soup packs an amazing set of flavors, and is really simple and inexpensive to make! Add some canned tomatoes, frozen veggies, and frozen chicken breasts, (I recommend Zaycon foods, order online.) A few hours in the crock pot and dinner is served!
