The Road, The Street and The Darkness
By stern on May 14, 2007
The Road is remarkably dark. It's depressing, but only until you reach the end and literally look back on the road traveled. My first thought upon finishing it was that it was a bad choice to bring on a 6-day business trip, because I wanted nothing more than to hug my own family at the end. My next thought was a reflection on a review written immediately after the release of Bruce Springsteen's Darkness on the Edge of Town. The critic's words appeared in the Asbury Park Press, not only the largest newspaper of central New Jersey but also the hometown voice of the true Boss of the Garden State. The reviewer, upset that Darkness lived up to its name, ended his review imploring "Bruce, turn on the lights." It's one of the few pieces of music critique I've remembered, now going on thirty years. At the end of the book, I wanted someone to turn the lights on, tell me it was a bad dream, and push away the darkness. But to do so would be to miss the point.
The Road is a dark love story. It's a darkness for which there's no savior light; it's just a dark world that is all too easily imagined. Everything about the book makes you uncomfortable, throws you off your cadence, from the inconsistent punctuation of contractions to the fact that only one character is given a name, something of permanence and memory. The persistent theme, through the pages and through time, is love, between a father and son, and of times and things possibly forgotten.
So I followed the conclusion of The Road with a listen to Darkness, all the way through, the way it was conceived and put on vinyl. After Racing in the Street I took an historical pause because that's where I would have flipped over the record. On the other end of that road is The Promised Land. The lights are on there, as they may be beyond McCarthy's road in the book.

CARBONDALE, Ill. -- The Southern Illinois softball team's three-game series Saturday and Sunday against Northern Iowa has been moved to Carbondale.
The two teams were scheduled to play the series at UNI, but an unfavorable weather forecast in Cedar Falls, Iowa, caused the move. The two teams will still play a doubleheader starting a noon Saturday with the series finale scheduled for noon Sunday.
SIU will still play as the away team and will bat first in each game.

August 5, 2009
Nadine Berenguier, associate professor of French, was one of two faculty members in 2008-09 who received a $1,500 CIE Faculty Development Grant, from funds provided by the vice president for academic affairs to do academic work abroad.
Berenguier spent the 2008-09 academic year on sabbatical leave in Aix-en-Provence, France, working on the manuscript of her book "Conduct Books in Eighteenth-Century France: Girls' Education and Enlightenment Discontent."
Her account follows.
I am very grateful to have received a CIE grant to help fund the trip that took me to France for a sabbatical during the academic year 2008/09. I lived in Aix-en-Provence where I had contacts at the university. I spent most of the year working on the manuscript of my book "Conduct Books in Eighteenth-Century France: Girls' Education and Enlightenment Discontents." This project investigates conduct books in eighteenth-century France, outlines the problematic status of a genre targeting a readership that was slowly acquiring the right to read, and also sheds light on the reception of such texts in periodicals of the time, on the status of their authors in early literary histories as well as on their legacy in the nineteenth century. It is under contract with Ashgate Publishing and will be published in the course of 2010.
Smaller projects also took up some of my time, especially contributions to two collaborative projects: "Dictionnaire des femmes créatrices"--spearheaded by Béatrice Didier and Antoinette Fouque and "Le Dictionnaire ds femmes des Lumières," edited by Huguette Krief (Université de Provence) and Valérie André (Université libre de Bruxelles). With Huguette Krief, faculty member emerita at the University of Provence, I have discussed my future participation in yet another collaborative project that she is coordinating: the publication of the correspondence of Constance de Salm, a female writer and poet who published at the end of the eighteenth century and early nineteenth century. This is very exciting for me, since Constance de Salm was a French writer who spent parts of her life in Germany. I have been looking for an opportunity to investigate the relationships between French and German cultures in the 18th century and this project will allow me to investigate this relationship.
I also seized the opportunity to meet with European colleagues. In the fall I attended a symposium in Paris organized by the SIEFAR (Société Internationale pour l'Étude des Femmes de l'Ancien Régime) and the IHMC (Institut d'histoire moderne et contemporaine, CNRS/ENS Paris) on "Les discours sur l'égalité/inégalité des femmes et des hommes de 1750 aux lendemains de la Révolution française" (The Discourse on the inequalities of women and men—1750-1804). It gave me a chance to meet or become reacquainted with a number of French scholars who work in a field that is closely related to mine.
In January I was invited to present my research at the faculty seminar at Cambridge University and it was a pleasure to have a seminal and informative discussion with colleagues and graduate students from the French department.
My time in France also enabled me to spend time at the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris where I went on a few research trips. Although more and more 18-century printed material appears on line, research trips to a major research library are not yet a thing of the past. Thanks to CIE for helping me fund my research during this memorable sabbatical year.
We welcome your story ideas, letters, photos,
notable events, achievements, obituaries and/or memorium.

The only thing missing from the opening scenes of CBS' new program "Intelligence" was well, some intelligence. Opening scenes to the series "special premiere," which came running, literally, directly on the heels of the number one scripted show in America—"NCIS," were scenes of the primary character, (you guessed it) running, through the jungle, through brush, and into some highly unfriendly perps. Despite an easy berth for the premiere, Tues., Jan. 7, 2014, 8 p.m. in Houston (CST), "Intelligence" still bore the burden of introducing millions of viewers who stuck around (despite not having "NCIS: LA" to follow) to the primary characters and theme of the show known only as "that show that was going to follow the new "NCIS" tonight."
The only thing that was clear from the opening scenes was that you were already supposed to have known who everyone was. The show had some initial starts, one episode "Charming," airing Nov. 15, 2013 and then another had a trial balloon on a "Special Premiere Tuesday," Dec. 12, 2013. So tonight's "special premiere" was actually CBS' third time out of the box in hopes of drawing viewers. If you missed those first two previous premieres, visit cbs.com and watch them there.
To recap tonight's broadcast basics, actor Josh Holloway who plays Gabriel Vaughn, the Lee Majors-type character (the guy with a great microchip in his brain), is also a producer of the show and brings with him a large viewer following from his work on "Lost." Based on that show, CBS hoped that women would tune in and sigh loudly and men would think "Oh spy stuff, cool!" Except if you never saw "Lost" before, you just see another guy who reminds you of Lee Majors version 2.0. Veteran popular actress, Marg Helgenberger brings gravitas to a show on the world of research intelligence. She was strong enough in "CSI" to be believable as any agent who has a badge and belongs to a governmental crimefighting organization and this time she's Lillian Stringer, the top woman in charge of the U.S. Cyber Command mythical governmental agency.
The ultra-secret project "Clockwork" connects an information superhighway directly into a human brain for full access. Gabriel Vaughn is the military warrior superhero in real-life battle who is now the perfect candidate for the implanted chip. With it, he can call upon his sixth sense skills to be the connectivity between all online data anywhere, anyplace, anytime, and to have some far-reaching premonitions and superhearing.
Those skills flew into motion tonight, which allowed him to save the Secret Service agent who gets shot on the first op out of the office, when her job was to protect him. Meghan Ory plays the unwilling Secret Service agent, Riley Neal, who had been vetted for months for a job for which she never applied, as Helgenberger tells her character.
Gabriel broodingly laments, reflects and is still searching for his wife, a CIA agent, who may or may not be dead and who may or may not have been a traitor to the United States. Every vision he has of this wife shows an unhappy and unattractive lady holding a big, honking rifle with a snarl to match her personality. Sounds like love to me.
Ory's Riley Neal, or Gabriel's "handler," is a Secret Service agent whose personality is slightly like Teresa Lisbon from "The Mentalist," also now an FBI agent, and the banter between Lisbon and Jane is likely a pattern for the banter between Neal and Vaughn.
Or, to take it one better, perhaps Neal and Gabriel are destined to have a Tony-and-Ziva or Deeks-and-Kenzi-type partner banter with the slight romantic edge to it. All this to say that someone needs to come up with some original characters that don't all stem from Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, and they might actually draw an audience for a new show.
P. J. Byrne plays the hapless, hopeless, helpless son of the doctor who invented the chip implanted in Gabriel's brain. Oh, boo hoo. He's caught up in a plot to get daddy the neurosurgeon to plant his (maybe) defective second chip in the brain of a foreign agent candidate whose course for adventure is all planned out, if that chip makes it through initiation.
Michael Rady played Jameson, another Clockwork-worker who we'll see more of in future shows. Tonight he wore thick glasses and a Thomas Gibson as ("Criminal Minds") Aaron Hotchner-style super stare (yawn). And if that was not banal enough, Elden Henson played lab tech and torque twister for Gabriel Vaughn's chip brain, Amos Pembroke. Amos is a smart aleck with 1970s long hair (think Matthew Gray Gubler on "Criminal Minds" again here), overflowing atop a white lab coat. Pembroke's lines in the opening sequences are tiresome, because viewers already have one wunderkind genius in a lab coat character they really like, who reigns above all others, and that's Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette). And Amos is also a rat. Yawn. Again, it's like a bad remix of a great show.
U.S. Cyber Command in Angel's Bluff, VA looks much like the headquarters of the CIA offices, complete with seal on the rotunda floor. Marg Helgenberger plays Lillian Strand with a little too much intensity for this first showing but if anyone can pull an ensemble group together as a cast, she can, in time. So where did all this gobbledygook of a show come from?
Michael Seitzman created the series based very, very loosely on a book, "Phoenix Island," by John Dixon, set to be published Jan. 21, 2014, by Simon & Schuster (a division of CBS). After tonight, a read of the book might well be in order to see what the real intent of the storyline actually was.
As soon as the show began, CBS.com initiated a Twitter-based conversation and invited viewers to join. That portal did not see very much traffic, all things considered. In the course of the show on the air, some 368 posts were shared via Twitter, if the CBS stat counters were right. In fairness, there may have been far more than that simply not showing up in real time on the web site.
The end of tonight's premiere featured Amos, the corrupt lab technician, watching television on a couch, while next door, the foreign agent with the "defective chip" planted in her head was in a state of undetermined limbo, waiting to wake up. In the last scene of the show, the rogue human/robot agent lady wakes up, eyes wide open. Uh oh, that just set the premise for a revealing show arc. Yawn.
If the show doesn't do a serious revamp in tone, plot, and substance, it will be among the ruins of good ideas gone cancelled. CBS is moving "Intelligence" to its new regular night next week, Monday, Jan. 13, so just in case you were thinking it was going to replace "NCIS:LA" on Tuesday nights, it's not.
The plot is so formulaic, the actors so earnest and intense, that it is already wearisome. After all it's international espionage going on and the safety of the country, blah blah. It's just a show that's bound to be one world crisis after another, all to be resolved in 47 easy minutes of television and some ultra-self-promoting other CBS ads for shows they hope we'll also be watching.
The only thing worse than this show is "Person of Interest," which is the other part of the Tuesday night drama sandwich, featuring a superhuman intelligent machine that was designed by the nerdy human babysitter, and chased up and down evil and good with a rotating series of ugly characters (yawn) served up by CBS.
Best dialogue of the night came at the end.
Gabriel (to Lillian): "I want to say thank you."
Lillian (to Gabriel): "For what? This never happened."
One could only wish.
To the question on CBS's web site "What would you do with top-secret technology in your head?", based on tonight's premiere, the answer would be: Watch a rerun of "NCIS" instead or if you're a gamer, head over to the "real" Clockwork Games and Events in College Station and your time will be spent better.

Current events have evangelical Christians and their critics talking past each other. With high-profile legal cases involving traditional evangelical morality (like Burwell v. Hobby Lobby and Masterpiece Cakeshop) in the national news, evangelicals are under pressure to defend not only their beliefs, but their actions as well.
In a recent piece in The Atlantic, Alan Noble observes that disagreements over issues like abortion, contraception and homosexuality are increasingly rooted in fundamental differences in perspective about what the free exercise of religion is—or should be—really about. Specifically, how should a person's "private" religious beliefs play out in the public square?
Ron Clegg, pastor of Parkview Church (PCA) in the Atlanta suburb of Lilburn, Georgia, observes that people he encounters outside of conservative Christian circles think of religion differently than those inside. "To them, 'religion' is what you practice at church," he says. "It doesn't integrate with life or business or school. Whereas we evangelicals say that everything is integrated. We can't and shouldn't separate our faith from our work or play or interests."
One reason for this disconnect is that Christians themselves often subconsciously buy into the idea of keeping faith compartmentalized. In Clegg's view, many Christians live a secular life that is very much distinct from their sacred life, despite what the Bible may say. Being uncomfortable discussing matters of faith with friends or colleagues is one way this manifests itself. To non-evangelicals, this reinforces and perpetuates the notion of a distinction.
For the faithful, this mindset leads to conflict when they feel conscience-bound (as did the owners of Hobby Lobby and Masterpiece Cakeshop) to take a public stand. Thus, what they view merely as the free exercise of their religion is interpreted by others as an imposition of a moral standard on those who do not share the same beliefs. With various parties approaching moral and legal conflicts with such differing assumptions, it is hardly surprising that conversations about these issues often result in heated arguments rather than mutual understanding.
Coming soon: addressing the question of whether these conflicts constitute "persecution" of evangelicals.

My daughter, Roxy and I boarded a plane to New York June 24th, returning to Los Angeles a little over a week ago … and it's nice to be back on blog. This was our fifth, summer Daddy/Daughter Back East Excursion, visiting some favorite places in my hometown area of Phoenixville, Pa. and also the Mennonite country in and around Allentown, Pa. where we attended the Kutztown Folk Festival and splashed around at the famous Dorney Waterpark. (I went to college at Franklin and Marshall, which is in Lancaster County, the heart of the Amish country.) Compared to the incredible handy men and women who bring their unique crafts to the Kutztown Folk Festival every year, I am but a mere amateur. We met a couple of men who have been recycling large tin cans for over thirty years, shaping and cutting out areas of the tin using an acetylene torch and other very individualized tools; then coloring the metal with various shades of polyurethane. The lanterns, planters and other handsome items they create are remarkable. At another booth, we met a woman who has spent the better part of her life hand-building high quality dolls which are truly made in America and much superior to the more ubiquitous American girl dolls which, by the way are made in China.
NEW YORK: The highlight of our journey was visiting the Eldridge Street Synagogue and Museum in what is now Chinatown, New York City. Until tourists learn about the history of this "breathtaking, historic National Landmark, " the big question is usually, "Why did they build such a beautiful synagogue in the middle of Chinatown?" Of course, when the synagogue was built in 1887, there were few Chinese immigrants living in the area. You'll read on the home page of the website:
The Eldridge Street Synagogue opened its doors at 12 Eldridge Street on September 4 1887, just in time for the Jewish High Holidays. Hundreds of newly arrived immigrants from Russia and Poland gathered here to pray, socialize and build a community. It was the first time in America the Jews of Eastern Europe had built a synagogue from the ground up." Copy and paste to learn all about the history of the synagogue and about the multi-million dollar restoration that began in 1983: http://www.eldridgestreet.org/
My own personal experience could not possibly be reflected in their website. I was acutely aware of the craftsmanship that went into the original building. The architecture is predominantly Moorish in style, complemented by Gothic and Romanesque elements especially on the exterior. Inside, I noticed how bits of the old knob and tube electrical system still remained as part of the "museum." Our tour guide pointed out that the magnificent chandeliers in the sanctuary that originally contained countless individual oil lamps were now turned upside down to house chandelier bulbs. The floors in the main sanctuary are original. What were those deep, convex bevels in areas behind the pews? Turns out, it was from decades of shuckling as the men davened three times a day, Shabbat and Yom Tov.
How I wanted to sing in this sanctuary. The hazzan's amud is right in front of and facing the Aron Kodesh. This from elsewhere on the website: "In the late 19th century, a Cantor Craze spread like wildfire through the tenements of the Lower East Side. In an effort to pack the house, the congregation hired Cantor Pinhas Minkowsky, the "Sweet Singer of Israel," stealing him away from his perch in Odessa, Ukraine." I stood where the great Minkowsky must have stood, and slowly began Zilbert's Birkat Hachodesh. The acoustics were amazing. I then sang the Shema. It was enough. It made my day… my week! A small Orthodox congregation, descended from the original kahal, still davens at the Eldridge Synagogue, downstairs in what was originally the Beit Midrash..
I loved this synagogue so much, I inquired if they had interest in hiring a hazzan (me) for the High Holy Days. I left a message for someone who never returned my call. It's not my fault my last name isn't Minkowsky! Shortly after Roxy and I returned from our trip, I received the good news that I will be the Hazzan for the High Holy Days at The New Shul for the Conejo in Agoura Hills. Here's a link to their High Holy Days information: http://www.tnsconejo.org/content/tns-high-holiday-schedule. We'll be adding some Handy Hazzan vocal clips. Give a listen early August and come join us at The New Shul! I'll be sharing the bimah with Rabbi Gershon Weissman, as well as my friend and colleague, Rabbi Michael Barclay. The evening of August 19th I'll be guest hazzan for Shabbat services. Check the website for details!
There's one tool that hasn't changed much since the creation of the Eldridge Street Synagogue … the block plane. This is a very handy tool that can connect a person to the art of woodworking in a way that no power tool can. Even if you're not a custom "woodworker," you may find situations around the house where a plane can be quite useful in performing simple repairs yourself. A couple of years ago, a custom carpenter and friend named Augusto put together a large cabinet for the back wall of our carport. I wanted something rustic to reflect the Craftsman period, and decided to use reclaimed (salvaged) wood. I found some old boards from a 1906 late, Victorian house that had (unfortunately) been demolished. It felt good to reclaim the wood, and it felt perfect for our needs. Augusto created three individual cabinets, using dovetail joinery and gluing the boards together wherever necessary. I found some suitable black, country hinges and matching handles, which I installed. To bolt the doors to the boxes on the inside, I installed some old slide bolts I found in a salvation …oops … I mean salvage yard. Finally, wherever there were holes or imperfections in the wood, I plugged them with wood filler.
With the warmer weather upon us, it's no wonder that the wooden doors to the cabinets have expanded to the point where it is sometimes difficult to close them. The easy solution is to use a block plane to shave off a small amount of wood on the vertical edges of the doors where they close. Take a look at the accompanying Youtube video for a demonstration on how I used a block plane in this instance, thus allowing the doors to close more easily. It might come in handy. Tikkun Olam starts at home. You can fix it! - HH

Wayne Rooney celebrates with Ander Herrera having scored a hattrick against Club Brugge
Yes, the white Pele has once again answered his critics. Wayne Rooney helped Manchester United to juggernaut past the helpless Club Brugge in some style to qualify for the Champions League. We now know that Rooney and company are in Group B and will do battle with PSV Eindhoven, CSKA Moscow and German side Wolfsburg – a much more challenging proposition than the qualifying match posed. Rooney is usually very quick to be criticised when he is below par – and it is fair to say that his early season form didn't look as if he would surpass the 249 goals set by Bobby Charlton and become the club's top goalscorer of all time.
Fast forward two weeks and he is only 17 goals off hitting 250 for the club; an absolutely monumental achieve. So was the criticism just and what heights can Wayne Rooney reach this season?

Patents on Human Genes: An Analysis of Scope and Claims
Jordan Paradise
Seton Hall University - School of Law
Lori Andrews
Chicago-Kent College of Law
Timothy R. Holbrook
Emory University School of Law
Science, Vol. 307, 2005
There is significant domestic and international opposition to gene patents based on the fact that gene patents deter medical research and health care, as well as the policy position that genes are an inherent product of nature. Yet, equally troubling is the fact that gene patents have been issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office that are problematic with respect to existing federal patent law. The authors of this Policy Forum describe their study, which examined issued gene patents covering a variety of genetic diseases and described ways in which many claims fell short of USPTO patentability requirements.

Big challenge ahead
Wednesday, April 10, 2013
The biggest threat to my new lifestyle is right around the corner; my touring season is about to start. I work seasonally as a tour director, which means that I spend about three months of every year on other peoples' vacations. It's great work and I love to be able to travel, but it's REALLY HARD to stay on plan when I'm leading a tour. Imagine spending 2-3 consecutive weeks eating restaurant meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner with very little personal time for extra fitness...this is my immediate future.
My first tour this year is to Iran. I leave on Tuesday and I'll be there until May 1. Iran is actually one destination where I usually LOSE weight, because 1) I can't drink there (it's against the law!) and 2) I don't like their bread. So I usually lose 2-3 pounds without any effort just for cutting out the booze and the bread. This time, I will actually make an effort to continue losing beyond that, so I'm expecting good results. Here is my plan:
1) Eat lots of veg at breakfast. This will be easy to do because all the breakfast buffets at the hotels there have loads of cucumber and tomato slices. I can get a great start to my day by having a veggie-laden breakfast.
2) Enjoy rice with my lunch, but not with dinner. Skipping meals or doing my own thing is not an option (my job is like being on stage), but I can make my circumstances work better for me by managing my carbs. The rice is white and there's no getting around that, other than by limiting it to lunch and having a low-carb dinner.
3) Share meals. The people in my tour groups are usually older and their appetites aren't so big. Splitting a meal with one of my dining companions is a great way to avoid overeating. I usually have a willing sharer sitting near me, so this one should be easy to implement.
4) Only have dessert twice a week. I only go to Iran once a year and their sweets are AMAZING, so I would be really sad if I had to skip out on their awesome desserts altogether.
5) Wear my ankle weights whenever possible. And by "whenever possible," I mean whenever I'm out and about wearing pants, not a skirt (because that would look weird!).
6) Snack wisely. My job is demanding and sometimes I do need a snack to see me through to the next meal, but I will head off any weight gain by keeping the snacks small and smart.
7) Do some form of nightly fitness in my hotel room. Yes, there are gyms at some of the hotels, but sadly they are not available to women. Or if they are, the women's hours are in the middle of the day when I'm out on excursions with my groups. So I will do high intensity training workouts in my hotel room alternating with yoga, or sometimes both.
8) Bring my scale with me and weigh in daily. This may seem a bit extreme, but it was the dietary oblivion of touring that completely undid all my good efforts last year. I was off to a great start with my running and good fitness efforts, but by the time I finished all my tours and the year drew to a close, I was at my highest weight ever. Taking the scale with me will help keep me grounded in reality. Because it's not possible to say "what happens in Iran stays in Iran" if I'm bringing "what happens" back with me in the form of extra weight on my body.
I plan to lose five pounds in Iran. By sticking with the eight points of my plan, I think it's entirely possible. So that is my big April challenge. Whatever I weigh on Tuesday morning, I want to return home on May 1 five pounds lighter. And of course, I want to have a great time in Iran. It's a really lovely place full of amazing landscapes, architecture, (yes...) food and, most importantly, people. I plan to enjoy every minute while still keeping my goal in mind!

Swine Flu at Alert Phase 4: 'Mitigation,' Not 'Containment'
Based on the fact that swine flu has been reported in multiple locations in different countries and is clearly passing from human to human, it was perhaps a given that the World Health Organization would raise its pandemic alert level to Phase 4 from Phase 3. That means there are sustained outbreaks of the virus, though it doesn't mean that a pandemic is a forgone conclusion. (See what the phases mean.)
The WHO isn't taking major steps such as recommending border closures and travel restrictions, said Keiji Fukuda, the WHO's interim assistant director-general for health security and environment. Those steps won't really help, because the virus is already widespread. So the focus is on "mitigation," Fukuda said. "This virus is too widespread to make containment a feasible consideration."
The WHO is sending a "strong signal" to countries to "strengthen preparations" for a pandemic. And public-health officials are focused on protecting individuals — for instance making sure they have the information they need about the virus so they can avoid infection. And though there aren't travel restrictions, people who are sick would be prudent to delay travel; returning travelers who have become ill should seek medical attention, Fukuda said.
Work has also started on a vaccine for swine flu. It takes four to six months to concoct such a vaccine and make it available, and several more to produce enough for a lot of people, the WHO said.
Meanwhile, the acting head of the CDC said earlier today that a rise in the pandemic alert level to Phase 4 "would not change anything that we are currently doing."

Fungal infection is a common occurrence especially in terms of sexually transmitted infections. A sexually transmitted infection is commonly acquired through sexual contact, in all forms, with an infected individual. Of all fungal infections common in the STI parlance, yeast infection is a stand-out condition.
Yeast infection affects both genders but it is more commonly occurring among women, in their sexually active years, that is during early adulthood. Yeast infection is commonly caused by the fungus called Candida Albicans and other types of bacteria, too. This is the reason why yeast infection is medically termed as candidiasis or oftentimes moniliasis. Although it is true that Candida is present in the urinary tract in small amounts—it can grow exponentially and can be a cause of concern.
How do you get yeast infection? Here are the top causes of this condition:
Sexual Intercourse. Needless to say, yeast infection is caused by sexual intercourse with an infected person. The transfer of bodily fluids like semen, vaginal secretions and even saliva can pose a high risk in contracting a yeast infection. Thus, getting yourself protected during sexual intercourse is a must, most especially if you have multiple sexual partners.
Lowered Immune System- as mentioned earlier, candida is present in our body. Albeit a resident flora, it is only tolerable in small amounts. One reason why it multiplies exponentially is through our immune system. A normal immune system controls the growth and infestation of bacteria in our body, thus, when it tips down, certain infections will take the opportunity to progress and persist further into our system. One of those opportunistic infection is yeast infection.
Overusage of Antibiotics. You know the reason why antibiotics are prescribed for a short period of time, commonly only for one week? The reason for this is drug resistance. When a certain drug fails to cure an infection, it should not be used further for more than seven days because the organism causing infection may develop resistance. The same is true with candidiasis. As such, if you are a prone taker of antibiotics, this is the answer to the question "how do you get yeast infection".
Diabetes Mellitus or Hyperglycemia. Yeast's favorite food is sugar—and what other disease is known for a high blood sugar level but Diabetes Mellitus and frequent episodes of hyperglycemia? Glucose is the number one food not only of fungi but also other bacteria. This is one reason why plates used in the laboratory for breeding bacterial plates contain glucose and sugar. Therefore, controlling your sugar level is crucial. If it goes uncontrolled, focusing on practicing proper hygiene is best.
Hormonal Changes. In each month, a woman normally experiences a normal fluctuation of hormones like estrogen and progesterone. This occurrence actually potentiates the development of yeast infections. Apart from that, using birth control pills (COC) and even pregnancy predispose a woman in having yeast infection. As such, preventive measures need to be undertaken—that is through proper hygiene, nothing less.

How would you rank David Beckham?
What other guys thought:
Why is David Beckham influential?
After an incredibly storied 20-year career, 2013 marked the year that Golden Balls finally hung up his famous boots. Asked about how he'd like to be remembered, Becks replied, "I just want people to see me as a hardworking footballer, someone that's passionate about the game." We don't think we're alone in saying he'll be sorely missed. The world now looks forward to Miami Becks: Soccer Franchise Owner.

Take a cue from the Spring 2012 runways and opt for soft and luminous skin by wearing natural-looking bronzer and radiant blushes. Healthy-looking color, whether achieved by rosy cheeks or a sun-kissed glow, wakes up skin in the most beautiful way. Here are the most coveted makeup looks seen on the runway and the products that will help you create the same healthy complexion. Follow this tutorial and your soft cheeks will give you another reason to blush.
Jill Stuart's Doll Cheeks
Models at the Jill Stuart Spring 2012 show looked like modern-day dolls in feminine frilly dresses, disheveled hair, and healthy-looking cheeks. However, there was nothing fake looking about their complexions, as they were highlighted with baby-doll pink and dewy peaches that made for a soft and natural look. The soft blush tones perfectly complemented the clothing, which consisted of several pastels and coral shades. Perfect for spring's pastels, baby-doll pink hues and peachy blushes look great on all skin tones. Soft cheeks give us another reason to blush.

Baby Doll Pink
To achieve the pink flush seen at Jill Stuart, dust a pale pink blush on the apples of your cheeks. Use a sheer pressed blush like Fresh's petal-pink, which will give you a healthy natural flushed look. Since this pot is highly pigmented, you only need a tiny bit to go a long way. To further highlight your cheeks, opt for a medium pink lipstick and bright eye makeup.
Dewy Peach Glow
An alternative hue to pale pink is a subtle peach with hints of tangerine. To get this dewy look, try a velvety base like Sephora + Patone Universe's Prisma Chrome blush in apricot brandy. This limited-edition blush is inspired by Pantone's Color of the Year, Tangerine Tango, one of the hottest colors of the season. Don't be fooled by the pot's super-orange hue, as once applied, it becomes a muted peach with goldish pink tones. To create a modern monochromatic look, choose a lipstick in the same color family.
Sephora +Pantone Universe Prisma Chrome Blush in Apricot Brandy $16
Loewe's Stained Beauty
The beautiful stained lips and cheeks seen at the Loewe Spring 2012 show offered a natural and mature look that complemented the polished and feminine clothing. The berry-stained hue also paired well with the collection's color scheme, filled with gold and blue shades, two of the most prominent colors this spring season. Just-pinched cheeks give you a natural flush that is both fresh and flirty. Not only are stained cheeks a great look on all skin tones, it's a look that is very easy and quick to achieve. Perfect for those who only have 5 minutes of makeup time before heading to work.

Flush Stain
To get an instant cheek flush, look for a gel-based stain in berry tones. Tart's cheek stain in flush is lightweight and comes in a pretty raspberry hue. This water-based gel stain will keep your cheeks looking naturally flushed and your skin hydrated with moisturizing properties. Double the use of this stain by applying it to your lips as well. Further reasons to purchase this flush? It smells amazing and comes in an adorable packaged tube.
Anna Sui's Sculpted Cheeks
For Spring 2012, the models at Anna Sui mimicked the 1950s glam beauties with retro-inspired hair, feminine frocks, and sculpted scarlet cheeks. The crimson blush used on the models was dusted all over the cheek bones to create a defined look. While this scarlet color is both seductive and mysterious, it also looks very feminine and fresh on a bare face. To further highlight this radiant color, swipe your lips with a cream poppy red lipstick.

The Scarlet Cheek
Make Up Forever's powder blush in scarlet might look like a matte red inside the compact, but goes on luminously when applied. As this powder is highly pigmented, lightly dust your cheeks with this shade, or else risk looking like a clown. This powder is great for the busy-bee who doesn't have time to reapply during the day, as this shade will last until you take it off.
Blumarine's Healthy Glow
Nothing says healthy-looking skin like a sun-kissed glow. For Blumarine's Spring 2012 collection, models sported such golden complexions with the help of light-reflecting bronzers. The natural look was perfected with mauve lipstick and groomed eyebrows.
Image: IMAXtree
The Natural Bronzer
Bobbi Brown's Illuminating Bronzing Powder in Aruba-light glides on evenly and smoothly to create a seamless complexion. This pressed powder goes on lightly, so make sure to use a dense brush when contouring your cheek bones. The perfect medium between a bronzer and blush, this powder is the only product you will need to give your face both color and glow. Apply this sheer bronzer all of over your face to create the perfect summer glow, sans the sun-damage.

The University will hold its first Spanish worship event April 14 in Mabee Theater at 6 p.m.
"Noche de Alabanza" is sponsored by the Spiritual Life department and organized by junior Nick Bostic. The purpose of the event is to reach out to the Hispanic community on campus.
"Some students' parents do not understand English and might feel isolated from the University," Bostic said. "This is a way to make them feel comfortable and invited."
The event will begin with praise and worship led by junior Monica Gauna singing contemporary Spanish worship songs. Junior Obed Gauna, pastor at Casa de Dios, will give a small sermon. At the end of the event, attendees will have the opportunity to speak with members of a spiritual team if they need prayer or have questions in regards to their spiritual life.
"When I was considered to be a speaker, I was humbled that I was even on the list," Gauna said.
Graduate student Natalie Arevalo is helping Bostic organize the event.
"When I first got here, all the worship services were in English and unfamiliar," Arevalo said. "You want people to feel comfortable."
All students are invited to the event regardless of a Spanish-speaking background. Bostic said he hopes this will encourage students from different cultures to embrace their heritage.
"We are all serving one God," Bostic said. "There is no language barrier with God."

I remember so well, the sound from my boyhood of the phrase espoused today, "It's too early;" and it hasn't changed a bit. "They aren't ready yet" was good enough to withstand a century of the 14th Amendment. Death in an unjust nation is the lot of all mankind, but here we have hypocrisy to endure, in an articulate Constitution.ReplyDelete

There is still a huge void in Deonte Burton's college basketball career.
"I had goals coming in and I've reached some of them," the Nevada Wolf Pack senior point guard said this week. "But there is still one I haven't reached and that's the NCAA Tournament."
Burton and the Wolf Pack must win three games in three days this week in the Mountain West tournament in Las Vegas to reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007. The third-seeded Wolf Pack, 15-16, will face sixth-seeded Boise State (20-12) on Thursday night (8:30 p.m.) at the Thomas & Mack Center.
Boise State destroyed San Jose State 83-52 on Wednesday in the first round of the tournament, racing out to a 25-0 lead nine minutes into the game.
"I'd feel like something was missing my whole career if I didn't get to the NCAA Tournament," said Burton, who was named to the Mountain West All-Conference First Team this week. "I'd be heartbroken."
The Wolf Pack will likely have to upset two Top 25 teams this week -- No. 8 San Diego State (27-3) and No. 20 New Mexico (24-6) -- to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. San Diego State (27-3) is the top seed in this week's tournament followed by New Mexico (24-6). They are the only teams in the Mountain West with fewer than a dozen losses and the only teams that likely do not have to win this week's tournament to earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
The Wolf Pack, which has not beaten a Top 25 team since it beat No. 2 Gonzaga in the 2004 NCAA Tournament, insists it will play each game this week like it will be its last of the season.
"Each game can be your last," Wolf Pack senior Jerry Evans said. "Teams are going to put their best foot forward and give it all they have."
"Tournament play is so crazy," Burton said. "Anything can happen. I know the season is winding down. It's going to be tough for me to say I'm done, that I'm never going to play for the University of Nevada anymore."
Burton is hoping to join Nick Fazekas and Marcelus Kemp as the only Pack players (out of 10) who have scored 1,500 or more career points and played in at least one NCAA Tournament. Burton, who has 2,080 points, is second in scoring in Pack history behind only Fazekas (2,464).
"There's no pressure," said Evans, who needs just 22 points to become the 25th player in school history with 1,000 or more points. "We just have to go out and play. I feel we're all on the right page. We can do something special. We've shown we can play with the best of the best."
The Wolf Pack, which beat UNLV, 76-72, on Saturday at Lawlor Events Center to close out the regular season, has never won a Mountain West tournament game. They lost to Wyoming, 85-81, in last year's tournament in their first year in the league.
"It's totally different this year," sophomore Cole Huff said. "Last year we were on a losing streak (eight straight to finish the year). This year we have momentum on our side."
The Wolf Pack has won its last two games and three of its last four. Only San Diego State, which has won four in a row, is hotter than the Wolf Pack right now.
"There's a different feeling than last year," Evans said.
The Wolf Pack has played in 30 conference tournaments over the last 32 seasons and has won just four of them. The Pack, which has a 32-26 record in conference tournament play, won the Big Sky Tournament in 1984 and 1985 and won the Western Athletic Conference Tournament in 2004 and 2006.
The 1983-84 season, when the Pack won the Big Sky tourney title under coach Sonny Allen, seems to have the most similarities to this season. The Pack went into that tournament with just a 14-13 record. They started that season 1-5 and 8-10 and ended up going to the school's first NCAA Tournament. This year's Wolf Pack team started 5-8, was still struggling at 12-15 just two weeks ago and is still a game under .500. The 1983-84 team lost to Montana on Feb. 18, 1984 for its third loss in a row and then didn't lose again until the NCAA Tournament (to Washington).
This year's Pack team was beaten by San Jose State (66-64), also on Feb. 18, and seems to have turned its season around since that stunning loss.
"This shows the team chemistry we have," Evans said. "We let a few games slip away but we kept fighting. We took all the criticism and used it as fuel."
San Jose State finished 1-18 in conference play, including its loss to Boise in the tournament.
"Everyone thought we had given up after that loss (to San Jose State)," Burton said. "Everyone thought we were putting our heads down. It wasn't the case. We regrouped and figured out what we have to do."
Carter, who is 3-4 in conference tournaments as Pack head coach and has never won more than one tournament game in any one year, called the loss to San Jose State the defining moment of the season.
"We could have gone in the tank," Carter said. "That game was embarrassing."
Utah State (18-13) eliminated Colorado State (16-16), 73-69, and Fresno State (17-15) beat Air Force (12-18), 61-59, on Wednesday. San Diego State, which features Mountain West Player of the Year Xavier Thames and Coach of the Year Steve Fisher, will meet Utah State on Thursday at noon followed by UNLV (19-12) against Wyoming (18-13) at 2:30 p.m. New Mexico, which placed forward Cameron Bairstow and guard Kendall Williams on the Mountain West First Team, takes on Fresno State at 6 p.m. on Thursday followed by the Wolf Pack against Boise State.
San Diego State won the Mountain West regular season title on Saturday by rallying from a 41-25 deficit with 12 minutes to go to beat New Mexico 51-48. Thames had 23 points and five steals. The Mountain West Tournament has been won by either the No. 1 or No. 2 seed 10 times in the last 14 years.
A No. 3 seed has won the Mountain West Tournament just once (Utah in 2004) and has gotten to the title game three other times (UNLV in 2002, 2010, 2013). New Mexico, which could face the Wolf Pack on Friday at 8:30 p.m., has won the last two tournaments. Just six different schools have won the previous 14 Mountain West tournaments. San Diego State has four championships, UNLV and New Mexico have three each, Utah has two and Colorado State and BYU each won one.
The Wolf Pack, which is 0-7 against San Diego State and New Mexico the last two seasons combined, has won as many as three games in a row just once this year when they won four in a row Jan. 1-11. The Pack is just 7-7 in conference tournament games since winning the 2006 WAC title.
The Wolf Pack split its two regular season games against Boise State. The Pack beat the Broncos in Boise, 83-81, in double overtime on March 5 and lost to Boise State at Lawlor Events Center, 74-65, on Jan. 14.
"We went in there and spoiled their Senior Night," Huff said. "I'm sure they are going to want to get even with us for doing that."
Huff said Boise's offense is a big challenge for the Pack.
"They are a tough team to guard," Huff said. "They missed a lot of open threes the last time we played them and I'm sure they won't miss them this time."
"It's going to be a challenge to win three games in three nights," Carter said. "But I have a lot of confidence no matter who we play. We're a better team than our record shows."

One venue where he has really dominated in recent years is the Dirt Track at Lowes Motor Speedway. His accomplishments have included wins in 2005, 2006, and 2007, along with runner-up finishes in 2007 and this year. "I love that track because of its high speeds," he says. "It's not really that high banked, but we can really get around it. It's actually the shape of a big circle.
"It's really great going there because of the many Cup guys that come over to watch us race. I really think because of the increasing involvement of Cup guys with dirt teams that you could see some Dirt Late Model drivers really getting a shot at Cup. If I thought I could get good equipment and somebody wanted to give me a shot at Cup, I would probably give it a shot. But with the purses we have, I feel very comfortable in this kind of racing."
Madden will tell you that he thinks the biggest change in the Dirt Late Models over the course of his career has been in the suspension systems. "There have been tremendous changes in the shock and spring locations, along with different front ends, and a huge improvement in shock design. Of course, the engines have also improved greatly, now making well over 800 hp.
"As far as the current rules in the sport, I really object to inversions in the front of the field. I really think that it promotes sand-bagging during qualifications. You end up being penalized for your accomplishments."
Dirt Late Model Pointers From Chris MaddenA DrivingIf you are a young driver who is thinking about getting into a Dirt Late Model, the place to start would be in either a Crate Late Model or a Modified. The Modified has narrow tires and is an excellent vehicle to learn how to apply power. With the Crate Late Model, you can learn the handling characteristics of a Dirt Late Model because you are using a Dirt Late Model chassis, only with a less-powerful engine. One important thing to recall, do not stick to the same track all the time. You need to experience different tracks and learn which driving style applies to different track surfaces. Watch the good drivers on the track and the grooves they take. It's very important to keep up with the track. Remember, the driver is still very important.
A TechnologyIf you don't understand how a Dirt Late Model works, you really don't need to be driving one of these cars. I really believe that you have to have that knowledge to win races. Hey, I know how everything works on my cars.

Looking for the perfect family pet? Look no further than your local animal shelter. Belleville Area Humane Society, along with many other animal shelters and rescue groups, have made it easier than ever to rescue the perfect pet for your home.
If you visit your local shelter's website and don't see the right match among their adoptable pets, don't give up on adopting. Just add your name to the shelter's 'wish list' for the specific breed(s), age and gender you need. Many shelters, like Belleville Area Humane Society in Belleville, Ill. have integrated their wish list with their websites so you can browse from the comfort of your own home.
Your next family member may well be waiting for you just around the corner, under the loving care of shelter staff who have dedicated themselves to finding forever homes for all the homeless pets who pass through their doors.
If you're not ready yet to commit to pet ownership, you can still help. Consider the following opportunities:
- Donate pet care supplies. Most animal shelters post a supply list on their websites to make it quick and easy to provide the supplies that are in the greatest demand.
- Volunteer your time. Contact your local shelter and find a time that works for you and put your hands and feet where your heart is. Even 30 minutes of play time with a group of adoptable dogs in an outdoor area can make a huge difference.
- Remind pet seekers to check the shelters first. If you or a friend are ready for a new pet, remind them of all the amazing dogs at the local shelter and encourage them to consider adoption as their first option.
If you put yourself in a shelter pet's paws for a moment, it's not hard to feel their loneliness and desperate longing for a place to call home.

Perhaps the best fiction book of the year: The Hurricane Sisters (William Morrow, $26.99). Bestselling author Dorothea Benton Frank first enchanted readers with her tales of lifei n South Carolina with the publication of her first book in 2000. In her new novel, Frank once again takes us deep in the heart of the magical Lowcountry—a sultry land of ancient magic, glorious sunsets, and soothing coastal breezes, where three generations of strong women wrestle with the expectations of family while struggling to understand their complicated relationships with each other.
Best friends since the first day of class at The College of Charleston, Ashley Anne Waters and Mary Beth Smythe, now 23 years old, live in Ashley's parents' beach house rent-free. Ashley is a gallery assistant who aspires to become an artist. Mary Beth, a gifted cook from Tennessee, works for a caterer while searching for a good teaching job. Though they both know what they want out of life, their parents barely support their dreams and worry for their precarious finances.
While they don't make much money, the girls do have a million-dollar view that comes with living in that fabulous house on Sullivan's Island. Sipping wine on the porch and watching a blood-red sunset, Ashley and Mary Beth hit on a brilliant and lucrative idea. With a new coat of paint, the first floor would be a perfect place for soirées for paying guests. Knowing her parents would be horrified at the idea of common strangers trampling through their home, Ashley won't tell them. Besides, Clayton and Liz Waters have enough problems of their own.
A successful investment banker, Clayton is too often found in his pied-à-terre in Manhattan—which Liz is sure he uses to have an affair. And when will Ashley and her brother, Ivy, a gay man with a very wealthy Asian life partner—ever grow up?Then there is Maisie, Liz's mother, the family matriarch who has just turned eighty and who never lets Liz forget that she's not her perfect dead sister, Juliet.
For these Lowcountry women, an emotional hurricane is about to blow through their lives, wreaking havoc that will test them in unexpected ways, ultimately transforming the bonds they share
In the tradition of the best-loved Victorian drawing room comedies, Paisley Mischief (February Books, $15.95) is a contemporary comedy of manners set among the white shoe bankers and lawyers of Park Avenue. The Avenue Club is older than the Century, friendlier than the Brook, richer than The Metropolitan, and unlike the University Club, it's not choc-a-bloc with women and foreigners. At The Avenue, it's not enough to be successful, you have to be the right sort of person. And no one wears trunks in the pool because when you're the right sort of person, you're supposed to have nothing to hide.
When an anonymously-written roman à clef titled Paisley Mischief begins making the rounds at the club and a reporter starts digging into the secrets of its influential members and their wives, long-simmering tensions at The Avenue rise to a boil and Max's application becomes ammunition in the feud between the club's most prominent members. It's up to Dante Penfield, the club president's feckless nephew, and his clever roommate Audrey to uncover the truth. As the story unravels, this tightly plotted comedy rolls like a freight train towards a hysterical and ingenious conclusion.
When Marlon Brando arrived in Manhattan in the spring of 1943, he was a Nebraskan by way of Illinois with a knack for mimicry. Just four years later, he would transform himself into one of the most important American artists of the twentieth century, originating the role of Stanley Kowalski in Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire. In the prolific career, and very public personal life, that followed, Brando would be commended for his "innate skill" and condemned for his "fair-weather activism." Both charges underestimate his intellect, and in doing so, promote the popular myth of Brando as the hyper-sexed beacon of inarticulate masculinity.
In Brando's Smile: His Life, Thought and Work (W.W. Norton & Company,$27.950), renowned cultural scholar and Boston University professor Susan L. Mizruchi explores the Brando that was not visible to the world in order to better understand the one that was—a Brando that was independent of the public persona and often at odds with it. Why would a man so publicly dismissive of his craft privately preserve all evidence of it? Why did this same man, so consistently critical of Hollywood, continue to make films until the very end? This extraordinary biography will help to explain what has until now seemed contradictory, confusing, or accidental in the life and work of one of our greatest actors.
Mizruchi, with the support of the Brando Estate and numerous private collectors (including Brando's co-star and good friend Johnny Depp), is the first to examine his impressive 4,000-volume library in its entirety. The library includes some 700 books on American Indians—many of which he annotated—a collection rivaling those of authorities in the field. Dozens of conversation and grammar books and nearly 100 books on Japan track his personal and professional travels. Jazz and bird-watching titles allow us to see the man in themovie star. Among the most heavily represented subjects in Brando's library were religion, spirituality, and myth.
Brando's bookshelves, readers will experience the intellectual maturation of a man who lived a rich life beyond the margins, often feeling as if they were peeking over his shoulder. They will meet an actor they might not entirely recognize: a boy recalled to military school by his classmates' votes; a son sobered by his parents' alcoholism; a man whose bed was as often filled with books as women. They will learn about the studio system at its apex, both cosmopolitan and cruel, and witness the destruction wrought by McCarthyism. Readers will come to understand Brando's complex relationship with the media that, while uniformly tenuous, evolved significantly over the course of his career, and was most often used as an asset for his activism. From the beginning of his career to the end, Brando treated his celebrity as a means to public ends.

Law Alert!
California Supreme Court Holds CC&Rs May Bind Owners and Association to Arbitrate Construction Defect Claims
(Posted October 22, 2012)
On August 16, 2012, the California Supreme Court held that in a common interest development, a developer (and the individual owners) may bind an association to an arbitration covenant in a recorded declaration of CC&Rs. In Pinnacle Museum Tower Ass'n v Pinnacle Market Dev. (US), LLC (2012) 55 C4th 223, the developer of a common interest community drafted and recorded CC&Rs that provided for the creation of an owners association to manage and maintain the property. The CC&Rs contained an arbitration clause under which the association and the individual owners agreed to resolve any construction disputes with the developer by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) (9 USC §§1-16). The association sued the developer for construction defects, and the trial court denied the developer's motion to compel arbitration.
Applying state contract law to determine the rights of parties to enforce the arbitration agreement, while giving due regard to the federal policy favoring arbitration, the supreme court analyzed the contractual nature of the terms in the recorded declaration of CC&Rs under the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act. Under CC §1352, a condominium development is created when a developer records a declaration of CC&Rs and other documents and then sells one of the individual units. Once the first owner accepts the covenants and restrictions in the declaration by purchasing a unit, all the terms become enforceable equitable servitudes, unless they are unreasonable. Actual notice is not required for enforcement of a recorded declaration's terms against subsequent purchasers. The recording provides sufficient notice to allow enforcement of the CC&Rs, and various statutory protections ensure that prospective buyers are informed of the terms of the CC&Rs.
The owners association and its members must comply with the terms of a recorded declaration. The owners should be able to rely on the association to abide by the agreed-on covenants in the declaration, including any covenant to use binding arbitration to resolve a construction dispute, in the absence of unreasonableness. It is reasonable and important that a developer and the individual owners be able to bind an association to an arbitration covenant in a recorded declaration because (1) the Davis-Stirling Act confers standing on an association to bring construction damage claims in its own name without joining the individual condominium owners (CC §1368.3) and (2) it is the members who pay the assessments that cover the expenses of resolving construction disputes. The court concluded that, even though the association did not bargain with the developer over the terms of the CC&Rs or participate in their drafting, under the statutory and decisional law pertaining to common interest developments, the covenants and terms in the recorded declaration reflect written promises and agreements that are enforceable against the association.
For further discussion of this topic, see California Construction Contracts, Defects, and Litigation (Cal CEB 2008) and Advising California Common Interest Communities (Cal CEB 2003).

Mostly everyone has seen neon signs from time to time. They appear across a wide range of businesses from diners to car washes. They also advertise movies and storefronts. Some places, like Times Square and Las Vegas, are famous for the enormous amount of neon signs displayed in close quarters. Neon signs come in an array of bright and vibrant colors. Small signs are sometimes available for sale as novelty items that can be used to decorate a child's room or given as presents. Artist Dan Flavin (1933-1996) made a career by crafting abstract artwork using neon lighting. Although neon signs are ingrained into culture and are sometimes seen every single day, few people know about the history of neon lighting and how they came to become so iconic of consumerism and entertainment culture.
Neon lighting is a direct result of the evolution of the Geissler tube, an electrified glass tube that contained "rarified" gas (gas below atmospheric pressure). When voltage was applied to electrodes inserted through the glass it produced a glowing discharge. Geissler tubes were very popular in the late 1800s due to the selection of colors they could produce. In 1900, the "Moore tube" was invented. It worked much like the Geissler tube but the gases inside could last much longer. The 1898 discovery of the chemical element "neon" enabled the Moore tubes to use the chemical in their lighting tubes. By 1910, bright and bold neon signs (usually in the color red) were being displayed at large-scale events like the Paris Motor Show.
In 1926, neon lighting's technology was improved by way of fluorescent tube coating. During the 1920s, neon lights were filled with an argon/mercury gas mixture which produced ultraviolet light. When the fluorescent coating absorbed this ultraviolet light it glowed its own color. Thus fluorescent coatings broadened the overall scope of color capabilities. After the Second World War extensive research was conducted focusing on phosphor materials (useful in neon lights). By the 1960s, approximately two dozen colors were available by way of neon lighting—a fact that the public regarded as breathtaking.
Today over 100 colors are available in neon lighting so two dozen colors hardly seems very impressive at all. However, lights that offered a range of more than 20 colors was absolutely astounding to most Americans living in the 1960s. Neon signs became iconic Americana and, even today, many storefronts still use neon signs to attract attention. However, advances in technology have slowed the use of neon signs in the past decade. Therefore, many people who own vintage neon signs are now making sure that they are kept in top shape since some can be worth a great deal of money.
Neon lights are interesting to study for proposes of history, science, consumerism and marketing. Although they are not quite as widely used today as they once were, they are still fascinating contributions to history and remain undeniably beautiful ways to illuminate locations.
