IRS Revenge, Tiger's Best Strategy, What's a Gold Medal Worth?,
With the price of gold skyrocketing, what is one of those big, shiny medals worth anyway? It might be worth more, if it were actually made of gold! Plus, a troubling portrait of the Austin pilot who sought revenge on the IRS, Toyota's chief will testify after all, what Tiger should say today, how to survive your doctor, and NHL and Olympic Hockey great Mike Richter!
For Friday February 19, 2010…
4:23- The writings of Andrew Joseph Stack paint the picture of a man who clearly had vengeance on his mind when he flew a small plane into an IRS office in Austin yesterday.
8:03- WSJ's Kate Linebaugh tells us that Toyota's chief will indeed testify in front of Congress, albeit through a translator, in the hopes of explaining his company's recent safety problems.
13:29- WSJ's Brett Arends makes his triumphant return to the WSJTM show as he and Gordon discuss what one of those gold medals they hand out at the Olympics is really worth. One problem, as Brett details, is that those medals are actually mostly made of silver!
21:04 – It's been too long since we've heard a bland, controlled, scripted, Tiger Woods press conference, don't you think? Fortunately, your wait is almost over. Unfortunately, Media Expert TJ Walker doesn't think that Tiger will do what he needs to do to get our trust back.
28:51 – It's a question that is becoming increasingly common. How do we survive our doctors?
32:18 – New Jersey Devils fan Gordon cannot help but gush when New York Ranger great and Olympic medalist Mike Richter calls in to chat hockey, and about some environmental causes that are near and dear to his heart.
Make sure you join our ever-growing legion of followers on Twitter to get instant tweets when new podcasts and blogs are posted. We'd also love to have you as a fan of the show on Facebook. And, you can always email your questions and comments to Gordon and Gina at email@example.com.

Suicide By Rat Poison: Depressed Man Dies In Agony.

SOURCE: Pattaya People: September 9th 2007
Man Commits Suicide by Drinking Rat Poison
Just before the weekend a sad case was reported to the Banglamung Police that someone had committed suicide.
We went to the scene of the house where this incident was reported and found the body of 42 year old Mr. Songkran Rangsawai on the floor in the living room.
Apparently he had taken rat killer liquid and that killed him instantly and there was no time to give him any treatment.
Relatives stated that he had just recently separated with his wife and has low income, which left him in a state of depression.
The Sawang Rescuers took his body to Banglamung Hospital and his relatives will most probably go collect his body for religious proceedings.
Posted 2007-09-10 21:12:33
Yup. They most probably will. They most usually do.
Gawd, I love the "style" of news writing in Pattaya!

Depressed Man Dies In Agony
Apparently he had taken rat killer liquid and that killed him instantly
Which one is it?
Posted 2007-09-10 21:55:30
Good question.
And why is it 'horrific'?
Posted 2007-09-10 22:00:44
Got me!
Posted 2007-09-11 00:26:33
Good question.
It is not melodramatic to report the lone suicide of a human being, by self-administration of rat poison as 'horrific' is it?
Posted 2007-09-11 00:34:30
Rat poison whether ingested by liquid form or by solid form causes an agonising death within approximately three hours.
Strychnine, the alkaloid component of rat poison causes dreadful symptoms of poisoning in humans. If it is taken with a cocktail of benzodiazapines, then non-visible (yet equally horrific) suffering might have occurred.
I would warn you, and other readers of this T.V. thread, that suicide by rodent poison is not comfortable or wise.
Seek counselling if {you} are depressed and suicidal.
Thank you for your understanding.
Posted 2007-09-11 01:13:45
First of all, you say that he was killed instantly, now you say that it can take up to 3 hours - make your mind up!

The original story was:
I guess libya115 likes to spice up the headline a bit - would you have read the story if he hadn't?
Posted 2007-09-11 08:48:08
There was none of this information in your original post. So, in fact, you disagree with some statements in the story.
This wasn't clear before. Now I understand.

Jack Reacher - Trailer
The first trailer for Tom Cruise's debut as Lee Child's ex-MP rugged hero Jack Reacher gives us our first real sense of whether he can fill his sizeable combat boots.PT2M25S http://www.theage.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-27sii 620 349 October 18, 2012
TRADE journal Variety reports that the ever-busy Werner Herzog will be making a narrative feature based on Vernon God Little, the Booker Prize-winning novel by Australian author DBC Pierre about the aftermath of a high school shooting. It has already been adapted twice for the stage. The screenplay is by Andrew Birkin (brother of Jane), who wrote the scripts for Perfume, and In the Name of the Rose, as well as The Cement Garden (which he also directed),
Herzog can be seen on the big screen in the forthcoming Jack Reacher thriller, for which a trailer has been released. He appears as a villain pitted against the title character, played by Tom Cruise. Jai Courtney (Packed to the Rafters, Spartacus) is a Herzog henchman. Courtney will also be seen as John McClane Jnr (i.e. the son of Bruce Willis) in the new Die Hard movie, imaginatively titled A Good Day to Die Hard.

Australian filmmaker Ben Lewin's The Sessions, which was a hit at Sundance this year and won many fans at its Melbourne International Film Festival screenings, has begun a slow-building release in the US, and will come to Australian cinemas on November 8.
Lewin's film explores the experience of Mark O'Brien, a man confined since childhood in an iron lung, who wrote a witty and moving article about his desire to lose his virginity, at 39, and how a sexual surrogate helped him to achieve this. It has a wonderful performance from John Hawkes, as O'Brien: he is widely tipped by most pundits for an Oscar nomination for best actor.
Industry site Indiewire also has The Sessions as a chance for other nominations, including one for Lewin for best adapted screenplay and William H. Macy for best supporting actor,
Lewin and his wife, producer Judi Levine, will be taking part in a Q & A, via Skype, at Cinema Nova on Sunday, November 4, following a screening of the film.
The Screen Producers Association of Australia has announced seven feature film projects that have been selected for the feature film market at the annual SPAA conference in November.
They are The Fear of Darkness (writer-director Chris Fitchett); CHA$ (writer Michael Harvey, director David Taft); The Diary of Jimmy Porter (writer Tony Morphett, director Nadia Tass); Straight on Til Morning (writers Sonia Whiteman and Pip Carmel, director Whiteman); Hard Option (writer Henry Tefay, director Paul Goldman); Music of My Life (writer Emma Vuletic, director Jennifer Leacey); and Resistance, (writer Chris Anastassiades, director Stephen Johnson).

Try our experts' tips for coping with hot flashes.
According to Christine Gerbstadt, MD, RD, swapping stories with other women who are experiencing the same symptoms can help you cope with weight gain, sleep problems, hot flashes, moodiness and lack of energy.
Yoga helps because it reduces stress, speculates Timothy McCall, MD, author of Yoga as Medicine. The ancient postures are known to kick-start the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for relaxation.
Identify and avoid your personal triggers such as smoking, spicy foods, hot foods or beverages, caffeine, and alcohol. And try to steer clear of diet pills, saunas, very hot showers, and emotional situations that cause intense stress or anxiety.
We've heard rave reviews of The Chillow, a soft, non-electric device designed to keep your pillow cool. It doesn't blow air or make noise. Sold here.
New research says that exercising consistently can shorten the time you experience menopausal symptoms. According to the first studies to follow a group of women for as long as their symptoms lasted, the researchers found that, on average, menopause-related annoyances persist over five years-and some women endure them for a decade or more. The good news is that you may have some control over the duration: "In our research, women who exercised four to six times a week had menopause symptoms for less time," says Nananda Col, MD, director of the Center for Outcomes Research and Evaluation, at Maine Medical Center Research Institute, in Portland.
A Baylor University study done with breast cancer survivors suggests that hypnosis can help reduce hot flashes-in most women. Twenty-six survivors who experienced severe hot flashes after being catapulted into menopause by their treatments underwent five sessions of hypnotherapy with a psychologist. Each session included relaxation exercises and suggestions for mental images that might make them feel cooler. At the end of five weeks, the women reported a 68 percent decrease in hot flashes, along with a reduction in anxiety and insomnia. Preliminary data suggests hypnosis works just as well for women experiencing natural menopause. The technique may reduce symptoms because it helps women manage stress, explains study author Gary Elkins, PhD.
Feel a hot flash coming on? Take off the blazer, and you'll still suffer in style. Dress in layers; wear cotton, linen, or rayon, and avoid wool, synthetic clothes, and silk. Stick to open-necked shirts. Wear cotton nightclothes, get a bigger bed if you and your partner are on different "heat planets," and take a cool shower before bed.
The idea is to keep your core body temperature low. Turn down the thermostat by using a ceiling fan or air conditioning. Keep a portable fan at work and by the bed.
Many women continue to try nonprescription remedies or natural solutions, such as soy foods and isoflavone supplements (from soy or red clover), black cohosh, vitamin E, and acupuncture. No data suggest these remedies are consistently effective, and some integrative medicine strategies are safer than others. Discuss your options with your doctor.
Hot flashes are more likely to occur in women who smoke. Just another reason to drop this habit!
Ongoing studies suggest that focused deep breathing may help reduce the frequency of hot flashes by lowering core body temperature. Think of it as Lamaze for hot flashes: As you feel on coming, slow your breathing rate by half and take deep-belly breaths.
HT, including the use of birth control pills, is an effective option for the relief of hot flashes. Learn about one woman's experience with non-hormonal and hormonal treatment options here.

The SCHS boys' cross-country team rested it's varsity runners for the regular season's final meet, and Coach Randall McDowell gave his junior varsity squad a chance to run against the top competition.
The younger runners fared well, finishing ninth Saturday out of 16 teams from Class 3A at the Kentucky Track and Cross County Coaches Association meet at Masterson Station Park in Lexington.
The SCHS girls' cross-country team looked strong Saturday despite missing their top runner.
Shelby County finished third out of nine teams in Class 3A, and placed three runners in the top 30 at the Kentucky Track and Cross County Coaches Association Meet of Champions at Masterson Station Park in Lexington.
Freshman Taylor Webb led the way, placing third overall out of 78 runners. Webb just missed the 20-minute mark with a time of 20 minutes, 4 seconds.
The folks around Tapp's Feed Store in Shelbyville were pretty excited watching the Breeders' Cup races this weekend, and it wasn't because of a wager pool.
Tapp's actually feeds two of the horses that won at Santa Anita in the spectacular event that culminates the year of Thoroughbred racing.
It's not pretty in there -- big guys exploding off the line into one another. It's not a place for the faint of heart or the timid.

With the boys' Class 3A, Region 4 cross country meet, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
For the past two years, Shelby County's Stacey Eden has taken the top individual honors and Trinity has taken the team title. And this weekend, when the region meet begins at 1:15 p.m. at E.P. "Tom" Sawyer Park, those rules may remain constant.
Individual favorites
The girls' Class 3A, Region 4 cross country meet will be a tight one.
Three teams – Assumption, Sacred Heart and Oldham County – have all been ranked in the state's top 6 all season. That leaves the other six teams fighting for one spot.

It has spent a great deal of time in the fictional town of Storybrooke, Maine. We have visited Neverland and Oz this season. So what's left? Latin Times attempted to answer that question as it pertains to season 4.
During Paleyfest 2014, showrunners Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz talked about being big fans of Frozen" and would love to feature some aspect of it on the show. "We would be completely honored if Kristen Bell or Idina Menzel wanted to do our show," they said. When Kristen Bell heard that the showrunners might want her, she said "That would be unbelievable," she said. "I love that character of Anna so much. She is exactly who I wanted to see when I was five years old. She is really close to my heart." Perhaps we will visit Arandelle sometimes in season 4.
Following the cancellation of the series spin-off, "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland," news that Michael Socha, who played Will Scarlett/The Knave of Hearts, would make the leap to "Once Upon a Time" surfaced. Could this be a lead-in for us to visit Agrabah and finally meet Aladdin and the Jasmine?
We also have Dr. Whale, aka Dr. Frankenstein on the show from time to time. This could lend itself to a Transylvania storyline. Could there be a visit from Dracula in the not too distant future?
Another member of the series, Sir Lancelot, has had a brief role in the show. The gallant knight hales from Camelot, another epic and spellbinding kingdom. Even the lady of the lake has been introduced to some extent. How the writers would handle the Arthurian legends would be epic! Imagine meeting Merlin, seeing the Sword in the Stone and Lady Guinevere!
Ginnifer Goodwin who plays Mary Margaret/Snow White recently gave us a clue. The name of the new Charming baby will give it away.
"Yes, the baby's name is going to be significant, absolutely significant," Goodwin said. "In fact, every time I not only read the script but then every time we filmed it, I got very genuinely emotional. It was an excellent move -- and very unexpected."
The season 3 finale of "Once Upon a Time" airs Sunday, May 11 in a 2-hour, 2-segment finale titled "Snow Drifts" and "No Place Like Home." Tune in to see how the season ends and where we are going next!

Vintage Canadian Wedding
Real Weddings, Vintage Weddings
From England moving back to our continent, this Canadian wedding sent by Anna of Cineart Photography is just a glimpse of how great the weddings this Fall are looking to be. Elise's vintage inspired wedding dress is a heaven sent to vintage brides and is certainly going to our wedding dress hall of fame.
Kevin and I, like most readers of Ruffled, love all things vintage! We decided to channel the late 50s-early 60s specifically for the slim suits and the full, ballerina-length skirts. Overall, we wanted our day to be fun, light-hearted and basically a dance party with our family and friends.
The procession and recessional were the musical stylings of Brendan McGuigan. For our first dance we chose Hey Jude by the Beatles. It was a perfect choice because it allowed Kevin and I have our moment but then, part-way through the song, our friends and family rushed onto the dance floor and everyone danced and sang along loudly. It was such an amazing moment and it was the perfect way to kick off the dancing.
We didn't really have 'a colour' but more of a colour palette. After we decided on the 50s-60s as a reference, I started looking around for vintage-inspired fabric for table runners. My mom, my mother-in-law and I found some awesome material at Jo-Ann Crafts in Ontario, California with blue, green, brown, ivory and taupe tones. As all of the decorating was essentially DIY, having the fabric was very helpful as it informed all of my other décor choices. After selecting the fabric, Kevin and I started hitting up thrift stores, flea markets, garage sales, and antique stores for various vintage pieces to adorn the reception location (and later our home). Some of the items that we found were, a globe, a 50s food scale, suitcases, a fan, typewriter, and a rotary phone. The other major elements in our décor were birds and birdcages. Initially, we had only planned to have a few birdcages and a few birds here and there but there more we found- the more we had to rescue!
The seating board was made using a large wooden frame that was on sale at Michael's and vintage maps that I found in thrift stores. Kevin is from California and I am from Alberta, Canada so using old maps of our respective home state and province as the background was a fun way to reference where we grew up.
The centerpieces consisted of cut flowers in milk glass vases, various bird figurines, vintage books, and the Tolsby photo frames from IKEA which were featured on Ruffled earlier in the year.
For dessert we served a variety of cakes made by my lovely friend and bridesmaid, Nicole, who is a trained baker and pastry cook. We also served cupcakes made by my friend Ashley who just started culinary school.
One thing that was special about the desserts is that we had a small memorial cake for my grandmother, Bubba, who passed away in January. Bubba's big thing at weddings was making the traditional fruit cake with royal icing. My wedding was the first family wedding in which she wasn't there to make her cake so it was important to me to have her there in some way.
Any advice for brides planning their weddings now? When Kevin and I started planning our wedding, we sat down together and wrote a top 10 list of the most important things that we wanted for our day. I really recommend doing this because if your family is anything like mine (large, opinionated and likes to be involved) then you are likely to be bombarded with suggestions which can cause you to loose sight of your vision. By identifying what was the most important to us, Kevin and I were thankfully able to stick to our guns and not get pushed into every imaginable cheesy bridal cliché.

McDonald, C L; Steinbach, K; Kern, F; Schweigreiter, R; Martin, R; Bandtlow, C E; Reindl, M (2011). Nogo receptor is involved in the adhesion of dendritic cells to myelin. Journal of Neuroinflammation, 8:113.
|Published Version
View at publisher
Nogo-66 receptor NgR1 and its structural homologue NgR2 are binding proteins for a number of myelin-associated inhibitory factors. After neuronal injury, these inhibitory factors are responsible for preventing axonal outgrowth via their interactions with NgR1 and NgR2 expressed on neurons. In vitro, cells expressing NgR1/2 are inhibited from adhering to and spreading on a myelin substrate. Neuronal injury also results in the presence of dendritic cells (DCs) in the central nervous system, where they can come into contact with myelin debris. The exact mechanisms of interaction of immune cells with CNS myelin are, however, poorly understood.
Human DCs were differentiated from peripheral blood monocytes and mouse DCs were differentiated from wild type and NgR1/NgR2 double knockout bone marrow precursors. NgR1 and NgR2 expression were determined with quantitative real time PCR and immunoblot, and adhesion of cells to myelin was quantified.
We demonstrate that human immature myeloid DCs express NgR1 and NgR2, which are then down-regulated upon maturation. Human mature DCs also adhere to a much higher extent to a myelin substrate than immature DCs. We observe the same effect when the cells are plated on Nogo-66-His (binding peptide for NgR1), but not on control proteins. Mature DCs taken from Ngr1/2 knockout mice adhere to a much higher extent to myelin compared to wild type mouse DCs. In addition, Ngr1/2 knockout had no effect on in vitro DC differentiation or phenotype.
These results indicate that a lack of NgR1/2 expression promotes the adhesion of DCs to myelin. This interaction could be important in neuroinflammatory disorders such as multiple sclerosis in which peripheral immune cells come into contact with myelin debris.

The American Public Works Association (APWA) has launched its third professional certification program at the 2008 International Public Works Congress & Exposition in New Orleans. The Certified Stormwater Manager (CSM) is the latest in a series of professional development initiatives administered by the APWA.
"We are supporting public works professionals to gain recognition as experts in their chosen field," says Noel Thompson, APWA president. "The new stormwater certification program will recognize the knowledge and credentials of those who deal with stormwater on a day-to-day basis."
The CSM program is geared toward experts who coordinate and implement stormwater management programs for municipal, county, and state agencies. They likely assist in administering drainage, flood control, and water quality programs, which may require management of public education, illicit discharges, erosion control, post-development runoff BMPs, system maintenance, water quality monitoring, and data analysis. They also may be involved with a variety of other planning and policy development.
Participation is voluntary and open to anyone meeting the eligibility requirements. The CSM includes an eligibility application process, an examination and a recertification process.

In the 1950s, Hollywood cranked out many so-called 'B-movies', featuring aliens from other planets attacking the earth. Some of the most memorable were War of the Worlds, based on the story by H.G. Wells, and Invaders from Mars, a surrealistic story of an invasion by creatures from Mars who came to earth in a flying saucer. Now, in what may be an example of life imitating art, these films may be on the verge of becoming reality, but with a twist. Instead of the Earth being attacked by flying saucers from Mars, Mars may soon be attacked by flying saucers from the planet Earth.
Maybe attacked is too strong a word. When sending a spacecraft to Mars or any other planetary body, the first thing that must be done is accelerate to a speed of at least 25,000 miles per hour, so it can escape the gravity of the Earth. But equally important is slowing it down when it reaches its destination; otherwise, it would just be smashed into a million pieces. This can also be done with rockets, but rockets need fuel, so scientists at NASA are searching for more economical ways to do so. One way that is currently being developed looks remarkably like a flying saucer (see photo), but is actually more like a balloon (sorry, Roswell fans). As part of Low Density Supersonic (LDSD) project, which is being run by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, this device will use atmospheric drag to help slow down a spacecraft so that parachutes or rockets can be used to lower it to the surface. This has actually already been done with the Galileo spacecraft that was sent to explore Jupiter, so scientists know that it's feasible. Even though the atmosphere of Mars is far thinner than the atmosphere of Jupiter (thinner even than the earth's atmosphere at the summit of Mount Everest), it is still thick enough to help slow down the spacecraft.
Testing of the LDSD is due to begin in Hawaii in June of this year, and if all goes well, it may be used on unmanned missions to Mars as early as 2018, and eventually, for manned missions as well. As for what the martians, if there are any, will think of this, one can only hope that there is no martian Orson Welles to scare them as the people of planet Earth were scared by that famous radio broadcast of 1938.

Rice, Charlie
Rice, Charlie, drummer; b. Philadelphia, PA, 1 March 1920.
Rice was a mainstay of the Philadelphia scene in the 1940s and 1950s. He had an extended stay with Jimmy Oliver's house band at the Downbeat opposite visiting stars such as Parker, Gillespie, Bud Powell and Hank Jones during 1945 and probably into 1946 or even 1947. Then he led the first house band in Club 421 with Vance Wilson, Red Garland, bassist Bob Bushnell, and trumpeter Johnny Hughes. Around this time he played rehearsals with Jimmy Heath's big band but he was not available to do gigs with them. He was on a USO tour to the South Pacific in (1951) with J.J. Johnson and Howard McGhee, played with Sonny Stitt and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, and Leo Parker. He toured and recorded with Chet Baker in 1964 and 1965, then left full-time performing to teach music in the public schools. He lives in Camden, N.J.

Pullman, Wash. - Despite owning a 29-8 advantage in shots, the fifth-ranked UCLA women's soccer team had to settle for a 0-0 draw with No. 25 Washington State on Friday afternoon at the Lower Soccer Field in Pullman, Wash. It marks the third tie of the season for the Bruins, who move to 10-1-3 overall and 3-1-2 in the Pac-12. The Cougars, who were able to snap a five-match losing streak against UCLA, move to 10-4-2 and 4-1-1 in conference play.
Senior forward Sydney Leroux came within inches of giving UCLA the win on Friday, however her shot in the third minute of overtime hit off the crossbar and out of harm's way. She and teammate Sam Mewis each had a game-high five shots on the afternoon.
UCLA dominated both overtime periods, owning a 9-1 advantage in shots. Freshman goalkeeper Katelyn Rowland played the entire 110 minutes in goal, making one save on the day.
The Bruins have now posted nine shutouts in 14 matches this season. UCLA has also surrendered just eight goals all year.
The Bruins will be in action again on Friday, Oct. 21, as they host Arizona at Drake Stadium beginning at 7:00 p.m.

ZF-4181: Logging after Zend_Controller_Front dispath() has completed
In some cases it is useful to log to Firebug after the front controller has finished dispatching.
This should be possible by buffering the output, logging the usual way and then flushing the headers again with:
At the moment this does not work as the Wildfire Protocol Message Index gets reset after the flush causing a previously sent header to be over-written.
The index needs to be kept for the entire duration of the page request.
Maybe we could add a method to the Front Controller and Response class to delay sending of headers until shutdown. This would start output buffering and register a shutdown function.
We would also need the ability to add a listener to the sendHeaders() method in the Response class. The same listener may be required for ZF-4134.
Bulk change of all issues last updated before 1st January 2010 as "Won't Fix".
Feel free to re-open and provide a patch if you want to fix this issue.

Kanye West pleads no contest on Monday and gets two years probation for his altercation with a photographer at the Los Angeles International Airport last year.
The rapper/producer did not attend the hearing, however; his attorney entered the plea on his behalf. The 'Yeezus' star has been instructed to attend 24 anger management sessions, complete 250 hours of community service and pay restitution.
The altercation was caught on camera which may have meant jail-time for West if he didn't accept the plea deal from the prosecutors.
According to fuse.tv, Daniel Ramos, the paparazzo assaulted by West, attended the hearing and told the court:
"I feel Kanye west should be sent to jail for his attack on me at LAX airport," Ramos told the court. "I was only doing my job… In fact, I gave him a compliment and told him he was cool… I'm still suffering from taking medication as the result of the attack [and suffering] pain on right hip area, and suffering mentally and emotionally."
He goes on to say:
"Kanye used me to promote his Yeezus album and Yeezus concert," Ramos said. "Kanye needs to be stopped before he can seriously hurt someone else."
Kanye has a restraining order and cannot be within 100 yards of Ramos. Since Ramos is a celebrity photographer, how will this be possible?

In 1758 as a preface to Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack, The Way of Wealth was first published. The Way of Wealth was a collection of all his previously published thoughts and quotes on how to be successful in business. This collection of verses and dialect contains some of the most popular quotes and sayings still used to this day. This publication is still just as widely used and true to date as it was in the 1700's. It has been rewritten and translated in hundreds of literary work for almost every language and culture. Our rendition of the story is set at the beginning of the Great Depression of the 1930's at a farmer's market in a small town called Jackson, Louisiana. The characters are turn of the century African-Americans living in the Deep South. The values and proverbs shared in this tale cross all racial, ethnic, social, and financial barriers. No matter the background or demographics of the individual the lessons expressed in this story will change your life and increase your opportunities for prosperity.

On Discovery, Tyranny, and Captivity, by Pilgrim's Wilderness Author Tom Kizzia
Editor's Note: Tom Kizzia has traveled widely in rural Alaska for the Anchorage Daily News, and his work has appeared in the Washington Post and been featured on CNN. His first book, The Wake of the Unseen Object, was named one of the best all-time nonfiction books about Alaska by the state's historical society. His most recent book, Pilgrim's Wilderness, uncovers the story of Papa Pilgrim and his seemingly ideal family, exposing the situation for what it really was -- as well as its ties to J. Edgar Hoover, Jack Nicholson, and more.
When I first heard from friends about some guy who drove his bulldozer through Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, I wasn't thinking about a book. I sensed a good news story. As a reporter for the Anchorage Daily News, I'd been writing about Alaska wilderness issues for years. This seemed an interesting variation on a familiar Alaska theme: the nineteenth-century renegade in conflict with modern conservation ethics.
I interviewed Papa Pilgrim over the phone and got the story, but something about his pious self-presentation intrigued me further. Was he an innocent and sincere pioneer throwback, maybe a bubble off level as my wife liked to say? Or was he trying to put something over on everyone? I knew I'd have to talk my way into his mountain hideaway to be able to write about him as a character.
My newspaper wasn't interested in funding a trip to that remote part of the state, but the editors agreed to let me take a few work days when we visited our small family cabin in that same part of Alaska later in the summer. Papa Pilgrim's oldest kids led me on horseback to the abandoned copper mine they called home. From that point, the story got deeper and stranger everywhere I looked.
Papa Pilgrim's bulldozer trail was an old, washed-out wagon road from before the park's creation, so maybe it was a legitimate part of the park's human history. That was what his many supporters claimed. The government, outraged and on the verge of sending in an armed team, was playing the heavy hand. And the kids, growing up apart from the world, insisted they loved their unusual lives.
But the clammy isolation in which Papa was raising his fifteen children made the homestead feel like a creepy cult. And then, following clues he'd dropped, I found myself tumbling down a rabbit hole into a past that touched on Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, John Connally, J. Edgar Hoover, Seymour Hersh, Jack Nicholson, and on and on.
When I wrote about all this in the newspaper, friends asked me if I was planning a book. I said I was not -- not until I found out what the last chapter was going to be. Because something more was going to be revealed, I was sure.
When it came out, two years later, when we learned a bit of what had been going on at the family compound, I still didn't think I would write a book. It was almost too dark. The story of a religious charlatan could be rather fun to write, I'll admit. But a story of desperate captivity and depraved tyranny seemed awfully trying for the soul.
But then I finally got to know the Pilgrim Family kids, and I learned the story of how they found the personal strength to escape, and to begin new lives, and even to achieve a measure of forgiveness and grace. I realized I had found a surprise ending, and a book-length story worth telling.

When the song of the snowmachine had faded down the valley, the sisters got ready to go. Elishaba moved quickly through the morning cold and snow in heavy boots, insulated pants beneath her prairie skirt, ferrying provisions from the cabin - raisins, sleeping bags, two white sheets. Jerusalem and Hosanna tore through the tool shed looking for a spark plug. The plugs had been pulled from the old Ski-Doo Tundras that morning to prevent escape.
It was late in the third month and the days in Alaska were growing longer. The overcast was high, the temperature holding above zero. They knew they didn't have much time.
Mountains squeezed the sky above the old mining cabin. Behind, a glacial cirque climbed to God's white throne. For weeks, Elishaba had been looking up, praying at the summits and calculating the odds. But she knew there was only one way out. The only trail, the one that had brought their family the attention they used to shun, ran thirteen miles down the canyon, slicing through avalanche zones and criss-crossing the frozen creek until it reached a ghost town.
McCarthy was once a boom town of bootleggers and prostitutes. These days it was the only place in the Wrangell Mountains that could still be called a community, though a mere handful of settlers remained all winter. At first that isolation had been the attraction. The Pilgrim Family had traveled thousands of miles to reach the end of the road in Alaska. They had parked their trucks at the river and crossed a footbridge into town and continued on horseback and snowmachine and bulldozer and foot to their new home.
Now McCarthy burned in the girls' imaginations not as the end of the road but as a beginning.
Psalms and Lamb and Abraham looked on in horror. Their big sisters weren't even supposed to be speaking out loud. They had been put on silence. Yet here was Elishaba, calling out as she moved to and from the cabin, as if she no longer cared that they would report her.
Elishaba was the oldest of the fifteen brothers and sisters, a pretty, dark-eyed, dark-haired young woman, strong from a lifetime of homestead chores, from wrangling horses and hunting game - not a girl at all, at twenty-nine years, though she had never lived away from her family, never whispered secrets at a friend's house or flirted with a boy. She had been raised in isolation, sheltered from the evil world - no television, no newspapers, no books, schooled only in survival and a dark exegesis of God's portents. She was the special daughter, chosen according to the Bible's solemn instruction. Her legal name was Butterfly Sunstar.
She gave the children a brave and reassuring smile. They could see now that she was weeping and frightened and that she did indeed still care. She cared about what would happen if she were caught. She was pretty sure she would not survive her punishment. But she also cared about how angry God might be if she succeeded and escaped into the world. all her life she had been taught that leaving would be the most forbidden sin. The punishment for that could turn out to be something infinitely worse.
Her sisters looked happy, though. Hosanna had found a spark plug. Perhaps their enterprise was favored after all. Jerusalem - short, blond and cherub-cheeked, at sixteen the second-oldest girl - had declared she would not let Elishaba go alone.
Elishaba and Jerusalem said swift goodbyes and climbed together on the little Tundra and lurched down the trail.
They made it no farther than the open snow in the first muskeg swamp. The snowmachine lurched to a stop. The fanbelt had snapped. Jerusalem used a wrench to pull the plug and started post-holing back up the frozen trail to the cabin. Elishaba tried to mend the belt with wire and pliers but gave up.
She looked about for an escape route. The snow was too deep to flounder through, the trees too far away. It felt like one of those dreams where she tried to run for her life and she couldn't move. She sat listening for the sound of a snowmachine returning up the valley from town.
Instead she heard Jerusalem coming on the other Tundra.
They reloaded their gear and started off again. A pinhole in the fuel line was spewing gasoline but if this too was a sign it went unseen. They flew too fast around a curve and nearly hit a tree and slowed down.
Jerusalem, holding on in back, started crying now too. She was thinking about all they were leaving behind. In modern Alaska, with its four-lane highways and shopping malls, her family was famous, recognized wherever they went. People cheered when the Pilgrim Family Minstrels performed on stage. They always made a beautiful picture.
The sisters prayed out loud. Where the snow-packed trail turned uphill, they stopped and listened. The world was heavy with silence. They started again and worked hard climbing. At the top they discovered the family's other new snowmachine, hidden in trees too far from the cabin for anyone on foot to find it. The sisters hesitated. They talked about switching but the old Tundra was running well so they decided to continue but right there the engine died and that's when they discovered the fuel leak. Maybe the Lord was indeed helping them, they said. They felt a surge of hope as they transferred their gear and continued on the third snowmachine.
There was so much about the world the sisters did not know. Only lately had they realized how difficult the future would be because of this. But there were things they knew about the world as it once was and these were skills they needed now. Where the trail climbed over the riverbank, Elishaba veered away behind the snowy berm, so that someone coming the other way might not notice their track. She drove into the spruce trees and shut down. They could see the trail through the boughs. The telltale smell of two-cycle exhaust lingered in the still cold air. They pulled the two white sheets over themselves in the snow.
The faint whine of a snowmachine, growing louder, was coming up the valley.

Can we completely classify the simply-connected surfaces (with or without boundary) in $\mathbb R^3$ up to homeomorphism?

The classification of surfaces is well-known. Every surface is homeomorphic to either $mT+nD$ or $mP+nD$ where $T$ is a torus, $P$ is a projective plane, $D$ is a disk, $m,n$ are non-negative integers, and $+$ is connected sum.
Now you want the surfaces to be in ${\bf R}^3$, so that rules out $mP$ for $m\ge1$.
You also want them simply-connected. That rules out $mT+nD$ for $m\ge1$ and $mP+nD$ for $m\ge1$ and $nD$ for $n\ge2$, leaving only two surfaces: the sphere, and the disk.

Mommar here.
On some servers it was a barren wasteland as players ran to get the first few hits on their new gaming drug.
Others who weren't as fortunate to get beta invites tolled around the old world waiting for their new chance to get into the hallowed portal and take a wack at new content.
Everytime a new beta expansion is announced, there is a great shakeup with the Auction House. It is the unofficial announcement that an expansion is slowly coming to an end. Players start to drop out of their normal routines, sales begin to dry up (as if they haven't already done this) and grinding out gold becomes a little bit more difficult.
There are still some great opportunities to sell items on the AH for profit. But it takes a process of being selected not just on what you buy, but also what is crafted and sold. PVP gear is pretty much a dead business on many servers. High Ticket crafted raiding gear is stumbling along at deep discounted prices.
So keep this in mind as you start to gear your mind towards the next two months of living la vida beta. Look at your long term investments (raw materials from the different expansions) and the changes that are occurring as you look to square your books at the end of the expansion.
A couple of things were announced over the weekend that could affect how guilds are bought and sold. Good money was on the table to buy/sell level 25 guilds. With Warlords of Draenor there will no longer be guild leveling, and many of the advantages of level 25 guilds will be already built into a guild. So don't be surprised if you see guilds being sold in an attempt to profit on these changes.
Keep your head above water and look for those deals as players start to once again empty out their inventory. Especially players who want to take a long hiatus from the game till the next expansion. When purchasing a players 'guild inventory' keep in mind what you can sell now, what can be sold later. Before when buying a guild you also calculated the benefits of the level perks the guild has. No longer is this really a consideration in buying the guild. It ends up being a straight inventory swap for gold. So don't be fooled by 'well you get all of these perks'.
Information is power and now is the time to flex those muscles you have learned over the past year.
Good Luck and Good Profit Hunting

Landfall, UNCW cooperate in women's collegiate golf tournament
Published: Tuesday, October 22, 2013 at 11:39 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 22, 2013 at 11:39 p.m.
My story is about the Landfall Tradition collegiate women's golf tournament, which takes place Friday through Sunday, Oct. 25-27.
Landfall Tradition
What: National collegiate golf championship tournament.
When: Round one is Friday, Oct. 25, tee times from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m., on Dye Course #1 and #10 tees. Round two is Saturday, Oct. 26, tee times from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m., on Dye Course #1 and #10 tees. Round three is Sunday, Oct. 27, with an 8:45 a.m. shotgun start on the Dye Course.
Where: Dye Clubhouse, 1550 Landfall Drive.
More info: Print a parking pass and get directions under "Parking and Maps" at Landfalltradition.org. General admittance is free and will be through all three gates at Landfall. Call 962-3236 for more information.
Although it's about golf, this is not a sports story. Rather, it is a story about a sustainable and mutually beneficial community/university partnership.
Planning for the Tradition began in 2000 as a dream of entrepreneur and Landfall resident Pete Hexter and the men's and women's golf coaches at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. Their goals were to create a unique college golf tournament, raise money for the golf scholarship program, and host a second national collegiate golf championship at Landfall, which occurred in 2010.
The first NCAA National Women's Collegiate Golf Championship was held in 1995 at Landfall.
Along the way, the Country Club of Landfall became the home course for UNCW women's golf teams, with access up to six times a week.
Now in its 12th year, the Tradition boasts a stellar lineup playing the Dye Course. Among this year's 18 teams, nine are ranked in the top 25, including second-ranked Duke and third-ranked University of Alabama.
Also featured will be the No. 1 player, Alabama's Stephanie Meadow, and No. 5 S. Ashlan Ramsey of Clemson.
No. 7 Purdue, No. 8 Arizona, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina State, Wake Forest, Virginia, South Carolina, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Michigan, Ohio State, Mississippi, Notre Dame, Clemson, Oklahoma State, Iowa State and host UNCW round out the field.
As a member of the Tradition's marketing committee for about 10 years, I believe the Tradition is significant for Landfall, UNCW and New Hanover County.
In terms of economic benefits, the Tradition has raised more than $250,000 for scholarships and golf team support. According to William "Woody" Hall, senior economist at UNCW's Swain Center for Business and Economic Services at the Cameron School of Business, it also generates an annual economic impact to New Hanover County of nearly a quarter of a million dollars.
With 1,100 golfers representing 86 different teams from 31 states playing in the Tradition to date, the tournament provides national exposure for co-hosts UNCW and the Country Club of Landfall, as well as Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach. It builds community as some 300 Landfall residents volunteer as scorers, spotters, and food and beverage helpers.
Finally, the partnership is synergistic. Once the relationship was built and nurtured, it expanded beyond golf.
As Chancellor Gary Miller said, "UNCW deeply values its longstanding partnership with the Landfall community. Our students and our university benefit greatly from Landfall residents' significant support for arts and cultural events, scholarships, academic programs and athletics."
Come on out this weekend to watch future LPGA players in action. Admission is free. For more information, visit landfalltradition.com.
A resident of Landfall, Mimi Cunningham retired
in 2008 after 26 years as
UNCW's chief spokeswoman and executive director of community relations.

TC TO JOSEPH NEUBERG ; 25 April 1859; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18590425-TC-JN-01; CL 35: 82-83
Chelsea, 25 April, 1859—
Dear Neuberg,
Here is the Portrait-Catalogue1 (goes by this same Post) in a final conditn: I did not get it fairly re-examined till last night: A distinct cross (X) stands agt all the articles I now want out of it; the "?" marks, where negative, are (unless by omission) crossed out:—and for more distinctness, I enclose you the list as marked in pencil while I went on.— Several of those others I shd have liked to have: but they are extremely difficult to dispose of when got;—Borck, for example, my beautiful Borck, I am looking out for somebody to take it off my hand gratis: to me it is rather a minus quantity, tho' so superior otherwise. Whisper nothing abt that, or the like, to the good Magnus!— I find there are just 2 Portraits (unless Ziethen's be excellt, and form a 3d) in the list now sent that are essential: Belling (the Anti-Swedish Genl), and Brühl of the many tailors;2 the latter especially, of whom I cd never see any Print whatever.——And now we will leave the chase of Frh-Soldier Prints:3 es geht nicht [it's impossible]; clearly enough there are none attainable to us; on this side, as on so many others, the answer is, "You must do without"!— "Blessed are they who can do without; for their talent will not be kept sleeping."4
We are a little better here; my Wife very considerably, tho' still in bed and as weak as water,—in fact I do not remember to have seen her in such a fit of overwhelming pain and weakness as had come over her on this occasion. I have gone about on my usual rounds, tho' more as a shadow than a substance: seldom was there a more ineffectual heavy-laden week appointed me than last. I think my Cough is going, however; and I feel determined to have another bit of duel with my Evil Genius (namely my Prussian Problem, and be hanged to it!)—file, file steadily with the poorest implement upon your accursed slave-chain, you will get thro' it at last, and out of the nasty degrading Galley where you have sat among the pots, and rowed, and been whipt, so long. Oh Heaven, Oh Heaven!
Come next sunday Evg if you hear nothing to the contrary.— Some day in the week, you might call at Wms & Norgate's (to whom I have sent a new message, with new "Yes, surely Yes!" for ansr), and try to ascertain what chance there is for the exquisite Adelung & his 10 quartos?5— Yours always truly T. Carlyle

We like integrity. We think integrity is important. We believe that integrity should be a crucial factor when public officials are doing the work of the people. And yet, in their own unique way, Clark County commissioners last week managed to turn the notion of integrity into a clownish escapade that wasted valuable time and resources.
Actually, before we go any further, allow us to amend that previous statement. In their own unique way, Commissioners David Madore and Tom Mielke managed to turn several commission meetings into a sort of governmental circus. To lump fellow Commissioner Steve Stuart with Madore and Mielke would be unfair to Stuart; he argued against and voted against the resolution.
But Madore and Mielke went ahead and passed a 13-page resolution that began life as an "integrity resolution" designed to proclaim that the C-Tran board broke faith with the community when it approved a potential light-rail funding plan in September. Containing 31 "whereas" statements, 97 references linking mostly to government websites, and links to four videos starring Madore and produced by his media company, the document was the subject of several commission meetings and more than a month of acrimony.
Along the way, Madore took it upon himself to include a definition of "integrity." This was a curious inclusion, considering that the Clark County Human Resources Policy Manual already contains such a definition. That's where things get messy for the commissioners, because the county's definition specifies: "As an example, a person with integrity follows a job application rating system, even when it screens out a friend." Given the manner in which Madore and Mielke hired state Sen. Don Benton as the county's director of environmental services earlier this year, it's no wonder they wished to redefine "integrity" so it was more to their liking.
Yet we needn't rehash the Benton hiring in order to find fault with the commissioners' proclamation of integrity. There are plenty of other reasons:
• The resolution is nonbinding, which means that much staff time and money was spent producing a whole lot of hot air.
• While the county commissioners are members of the C-Tran board, this essentially was one governmental agency picking a sandbox fight with another agency over which it has no control. Madore and Mielke had their say on the C-Tran board; they lost the vote regarding light-rail funding.
• Commissioners spent three meetings debating the resolution, which suggests they have far too much time on their hands. It would seem there are more productive ways for commissioners to spend their weekly meetings.
• Five residents gave testimony regarding the resolution, all in opposition. Madore often has championed the importance of adhering to the will of the people, but that apparently applies only when it suits his purposes.
In the end, the debate over the "integrity resolution" obfuscates valid questions about the C-Tran board's passage of a light-rail funding plan. By bringing the issue into a realm that has no input on the matter, Madore has invited ridicule rather than discussion. The resolution comes across as nothing more than a hypocritical exercise in megalomania.
As mentioned, we think integrity is important. But we really aren't that interested in county commissioners wasting a lot of time passing a 13-page resolution that does little more than chastise another government agency. They can define "integrity" as often as they like, but we'll be more impressed when Madore and Mielke act with integrity rather than talk about it.
