Winner of the 1999 Edgar Award for Best Biographical Work, this is "an excellent biography of the man who created Sherlock Holmes" (David Walton, The New York Times Book Review)
This fresh, compelling biography examines the extraordinary life and strange contrasts of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the struggling provincial doctor who became the most popular storyteller of his age. From his youthful exploits aboard a whaling ship to his often stormy friendships with such figures as Harry Houdini and George Bernard Shaw, Conan Doyle lived a life as gripping as one of his adventures. Exhaustively researched and elegantly written, Daniel Stashower's Teller of Tales sets aside many myths and misconceptions to present a vivid portrait of the man behind the legend of Baker Street, with a particular emphasis on the Psychic Crusade that dominated his final years--the work that Conan Doyle himself felt to be "the most important thing in the world."
Editorial Reviews
WQ: The Wilson Quarterly
National Review
To some extent, this was inevitable. As Daniel Stashower points out in his highly readable new biography of the writer, Conan Doyle was very much a product of the Victorian era: a bluff, hearty, stiff-upper-lip type who put his faith in the virtues of scientific progress, good sportsmanship, and the improving nature of Anglo-Saxon culture. When the optimism of the 19th century died bloodily on the battlefields of the First World War, he was to find himself increasingly out of step with the world around him. In addition, his devotion to the cause of spiritualism, which was to consume much of his time in his later years, further alienated him from his public, which for the most part considered his spiritual pursuits at best a quaint eccentricity, and at worst, evidence that the creator of one of fiction's great rationalists was getting a bit soft in the head.
Although this gives a rather melancholy portrait of Conan Doyle's declining years, it's also true that the enthusiasm with which he embraced spiritualism was characteristic of how he approached everything in his life. Born in Edinburgh in 1859, he grew up in modest circumstances. Irish in heritage, the Doyles were prominent in the arts; Arthur's grandfather was a famous political caricaturist, and an uncle was the director of the National Gallery of Ireland. Doyle's father, however, was somewhat of a black sheep: He was a talented artist himself, but also an alcoholic and an epileptic who was to spend the last decades of his life in an insane asylum, leaving Arthur to be raised by his mother. After getting a medical degree from Edinburgh University, Conan Doyle moved to Portsmouth in the south of England to set up a practice and began writing to supplement his income. He might have remained a provincial doctor with a profitable sideline in literature but for two things: an ill-advised attempt to move to London to set up an ophthalmology practice, the failure of which persuaded him to turn permanently to writing, and, of course, the rising popularity of Sherlock Holmes.
Inspired by Poe's pioneering detective stories, Conan Doyle based his hero on Joseph Bell, his former professor and a brilliant diagnostician who could deduce volumes about a person's background and habits through close observation of their bearing and appearance. To Conan Doyle's surprise, Holmes was to become a genuine phenomenon and, although he was later to weary of the character (most notoriously trying to kill him off in The Final Problem), the public never did.
Stashower, to his credit, doesn't let Holmes overwhelm Conan Doyle the way the character ultimately did in real life, but writing with a fan's enthusiasm and a novelist's sense of detail and pacing (he's a published mystery writer in his own right), he does a good job of evoking the lesser-known aspects of his subject's life. He describes how Conan Doyle helped free men wrongly convicted of crimes on two occasions, defended Roger Casement, the Irish nationalist, ran -- unsuccessfully -- for parliament twice, and served as an army surgeon during the Boer War, later defending the conduct of the British army during that engagement (for which he was later given his knighthood). Conan Doyle was also a indefatigable lecturer on a wide variety of subjects
The most notorious of those subjects was, of course, spiritualism. Although Conan Doyle's devotion to this cause is often written off as an old man's folly, borne of his grief over losing his son and brother in World War I, it's worth noting that this was a very popular movement during the last century -- a "scientific" religion that many people hoped would provide the evidence of life after death that traditional religion had thus far been unable to (future prime minister Arthur Balfour, philosopher William James, and scientists William Crookes and Oliver Lodge all flirted with spiritualism at one point or another). Stashower provides a lot information on both the movement itself and on Conan Doyle's tireless proselytizing for it, and although he admits the irony that the creator of the supremely skeptical Holmes was willing to accept even the flimsiest proof of the spirit world's existence, he also tries to put his beliefs in both the context of the times and of Sir Arthur's life -- a life that is invoked in this book with sympathy and an enthusiasm worthy of its subject.

The Empty Chair
I have learned never to ridicule any man's opinion, however strange it may seem.
As many as six thousand people crowded into London's Royal Albert Hall that night, while hundreds more were turned away at the doors. Inside the great hall, men in evening dress and ladies in long gowns found their seats and whispered excitedly to one another. They had come to see and hear Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, perhaps the most beloved author of his generation, and he was expected to deliver startling news.
In most respects, the gathering was no different from the hundreds of lectures Conan Doyle had given in such places as Paris, New York, Melbourne, and Capetown. On this particular night, however, the sense of anticipation was especially intense. The reason was simple: Conan Doyle had died five days earlier at his home in Crowborough.
Even so, expectations remained high. Conan Doyle's death, according to the beliefs he himself passionately espoused, would not necessarily prohibit his appearance on the lecture platform that evening. At the time of his passing on July 8, 1930, Conan Doyle had long been established as the world's best-known and most outspoken proponent of spiritualism, the belief that the dead communicate with the living through an earthly conduit, or medium. For fourteen years Conan Doyle had devoted the better part of his time, energy, and resources to this cause, which he often described as "the most important thing in the world." For those who found comfort and meaning in his beliefs, he was "the Saint Paul of spiritualism." For those who did not, he was a sad and deluded old man who had squandered his greatness. The Albert Hall memorial, many believed, would settle the issue once and for all.
Sir Arthur's widow, Lady Jean Conan Doyle, entered the hall accompanied by her sons, Denis and Adrian, her daughter, Jean, and her stepdaughter, Mary. Denis and Adrian wore evening dress and carried top hats. Lady Conan Doyle, in keeping with the beliefs she shared with her husband, had chosen a dress of gray lace rather than traditional mourning garb, to signify that Sir Arthur's "translation" to the other side was not an occasion for sorrow. "I know perfectly well that I am going to have conversations with my father," Adrian Conan Doyle had told the press at his father's funeral. "We shall miss his footsteps and his physical presence, but that is all. Otherwise he might have only gone to Australia."
At the edge of the lecture platform, a row of chairs was set out for the family. A square of cardboard held one of them in reserve. It read: "Sir Arthur Conan Doyle." Lady Conan Doyle sat to the left of her husband's chair, just as she had for twenty-three years at nearly all of the many lectures, meetings, and other assemblies to which her husband lent his name and influence. This gathering, she had confided to a friend, would be the last public demonstration she would ever attend with her husband.
Conan Doyle's chair would have been the only empty seat in the house. Some accounts estimated the size of the crowd at ten thousand, though this would have seriously strained the hall's capacity. Extra seats had been set up to accommodate some of the overflow.
As the audience settled, Mr. George Craze of the Marylebone Spiritualist Association stepped to the microphone to open the proceedings. He offered a few words of welcome, then read out a written statement from Lady Conan Doyle. "I want in my children's, and my own and my beloved husband's name, to thank you all from my heart for the love for him which brought you here tonight," her message stated. However, she continued, she wished to correct an erroneous impression that Sir Arthur's materialized form was expected to appear in the empty chair. "At every meeting all over the world I have sat at my beloved husband's side, and at this great meeting, where people have come with respect and love in their hearts to do him honour, his chair is placed, as I know that in psychic presence he will be close to me, although our earthly eyes cannot see beyond the earth's vibration. Only those with the God-given extra sight, called clairvoyance, will be able to see the dear form in our midst."
Ernest Hunt, a spiritualist colleague of Conan Doyle's, added a forceful elaboration. Pointing to the vacant chair, Hunt warned that it would be "a very trifling thing if any people here with hectic imagination were to persuade themselves imaginatively that they could see Sir Arthur's form there. Nor would it be to me of surprising worth that some gifted clairvoyant could see the form. But it would be a great thing for you to see in the vacant chair a symbol of God's call to you to qualify for being Doyle's successors."
These words, however heartfelt, did little to quell the mood of charged expectancy. Since the first reports of Conan Doyle's death there had been a wave of heated speculation about his possible return. "Widow Indicates Hope of Message," declared a front-page headline in the New York Times. "Return of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Spirit Awaited by Widow and Sons," reported the New York American. London's Daily Herald gave details of a secret code word Conan Doyle had left with his wife, to prove the veracity of any spirit contact.
If Lady Conan Doyle clung to the hope of a message, however, she believed that such communication could only come through a "spirit sensitive." The notion that her husband's materialized form would suddenly pop into view arose from a series of ambiguous statements made by Conan Doyle's spiritualist colleagues. "I should imagine that he would be quite capable of demonstrating already," declared one of the organizers of the Albert Hall event. "He was quite prepared for his passing."
After five days of such statements, the attempt to inject a note of moderation had come too late. Throughout the hall eyes were kept trained on the empty chair beside Lady Conan Doyle, hoping for some telltale indication of an otherworldly presence.
For a time, the evening proceeded like any other memorial service. Friends and colleagues rose to pay tribute, hymns were sung, and passages of Scripture were read. A telegram from the prominent physicist Sir Oliver Lodge, who shared Conan Doyle's spiritualist beliefs, praised the author's unwavering dedication: "Our great-hearted champion will soon be continuing his campaign on the other side with added wisdom and knowledge," adding, "Sursum corda!" — lift up your hearts.
After nearly an hour, the more conventional portion of the service drew to a close. George Craze returned to the microphone and asked the audience to stand for two minutes of silent reflection. "The completeness of the silence," wrote one journalist, "was unforgettable."
As the congregants took their seats, Craze stepped forward once again. "This evening," he began, "we are going to make a very daring experiment with the courage implanted in us by our late leader. We have with us a spirit sensitive who is going to try to give impressions from this platform. One reason why we hesitate to do it in such a colossal meeting as this is that it is a terrific strain on the sensitive. In an assembly of ten thousand people a tremendous force is centered upon the medium. Tonight, Mrs. Roberts will try to describe some particular friends, but it will be the first time this has been attempted in such a tremendous gathering. You can help with your vibrations as you sing the next hymn, 'Open My Eyes.'"
Mrs. Estelle Roberts stepped to the front of the platform as the last notes of the hymn faded. A slimly built, fluttery woman with dark hair and large brown eyes, Mrs. Roberts stood at the microphone for several moments wringing her hands. Her anxious, dithery appearance belied a canny flair for the dramatic. She had been a favorite medium of Conan Doyle's before his departure for the spirit plane, and he had remarked more than once on her "mesmerizing presence."
In one sense, George Craze had been correct to call the evening a daring experiment. Mrs. Roberts had been called upon to make contact with departed souls — Conan Doyle's among them. In so doing, she would also attempt to make believers out of skeptics. Though spiritualism was by no means uncommon in 1930, it was generally practiced in the darkened confines of the séance room. There, under conditions set by the medium, one might expect to see tambourines floating in the air, or ghostly messages appearing on chalk slates, or any number of other discarnate effects taken to signify spirit contact. Under the bright lights of the Albert Hall, there would be no floating tambourines. Instead, Mrs. Roberts would be expected to stand before the microphone and pluck spirit messages out of the ether, apparently at random, and deliver them to individuals in the crowd. Any evidence of otherworldly phenomena, then, would show itself solely in the force of her spoken testimony.
The mesmerizing presence that had so impressed Conan Doyle was not immediately apparent. For some time, Mrs. Roberts did nothing more than rock back and forth on her heels, and soon the sounds of coughing and restless movement could be heard from the audience. At this, she appeared to gather her resolve. Shielding her eyes like a sailor on lookout, Mrs. Roberts swept her eyes over the gallery, tiers, and boxes. Her attention fixed not on the faces of the expectant crowd, but on the empty space above their heads. "There are vast numbers of spirits here with us," she announced. "They are pushing me like anything."
With that, she launched into a long unbroken monologue, apparently describing a series of spirits whom only she could see. "All around was a great concourse of spirit people anxious to communicate with their friends," she would later write. "For half an hour, by means of clairvoyance, I relayed their messages to individuals among the mass of people in the hall."
In fact, she did more than relay messages. She described the features of the departed spirits, along with their characteristics, their method of speech, and even their clothes. The audience sat in rapt attention as she related tales of whole families reunited in the spirit world, then pointed out their loved ones in the crowd. "There was something uncanny," one journalist noted, "in the sight of ten thousand people sitting in the Albert Hall, half afraid, yet half hoping that they might be singled out."
"There is a gentleman over there with hardly any hair," said Mrs. Roberts, pointing to a man in the gallery. "Yes, there! That's right. I see standing there in front of you, a spirit form of a young soldier." She peered into the lights, as if for a better view.
"He looks to be about twenty-four. In khaki uniform. Upright. Well-built. Mouth droops a little at the corners. He passed suddenly." Mrs. Roberts angled her head, as though listening to a soft voice.
"He gives me 1916 as the year of passing. He distinctly calls you 'Uncle.' 'Uncle Fred.'"
The man in the gallery stiffened, and nodded that the details were correct.
"He speaks of a brother Charles," she continued. "Is that correct? He wants to know if you have Aunty Lillian with you. Do you understand?"
From his seat, the man nodded more vigorously.
"The boy tells me that there is a little anxiety going on, and wants me to tell you he is helping you. He —" Abruptly, as if pushed by unseen hands, Mrs. Roberts broke off her discourse and took a few lurching steps across the stage. She turned to an empty space on the platform behind her. "All right," she said, as though addressing a large and unruly knot of people. "All right."
She turned back to the audience and pointed to a woman seated in one of the boxes. "There is a gentleman here, John Martin. He says he is looking for his daughter Jane. Correct?"
The woman in the box confirmed that her name was Jane, and that her late father's name had been John Martin. Mrs. Roberts continued. "He has got her mother, Mary Martin, with him. Little Willie is with them. Also your sister Mary. Your sister-in-law Elizabeth is with him. You understand?" Mrs. Roberts opened her mouth to continue, then pitched forward as though shoved by invisible hands. "All right!" she said, glaring at the empty space behind her. "Just a minute!" She turned to the front of the platform, gathered herself, and carried on.
Then as now, opinions differed sharply as to whether such revelations were produced by psychic means or by more earthbound contrivances such as audience confederates and careful vetting of potential contacts. The crowd at the Albert Hall consisted mostly of those sympathetic to spiritualist phenomena, and at least one of those who received a message was himself a practicing medium. To a large extent, it seems fair to say, Mrs. Roberts was preaching to the converted.
But the audience also held a fair number of nonbelievers who had come only to pay tribute to Conan Doyle. "It was either an amazing proof of communication with the dead," said one skeptic, "or it was the most cold-blooded and cruel fraud." A reporter from the Saturday Review was more blunt: "I should like to have heard Sherlock Holmes examining the medium at the Albert Hall last Sunday, for the methods that were employed were hardly reminiscent of Baker Street. Indeed, far from satisfying Holmes, I doubt if the evidence would even have been good enough for Watson."
After half an hour or so, the nonbelievers could no longer suppress their irritation. From various parts of the hall, some forty or fifty people rose from their seats and headed for the exits. From the platform, Mrs. Roberts registered her distress: "I can't go on with all these people walking out," she announced. A blast of organ music rang out to cover the confusion, and for a few moments it appeared the memorial might come to a premature end.
At that moment, however, just as the meeting threatened to disband in an atmosphere of disarray, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle made his appearance. "He is here!" Mrs. Roberts shouted. "He is here!" The skeptics stopped in their tracks. All eyes locked on the empty chair.
Later, Mrs. Roberts would claim that Conan Doyle had been on the platform all along: "I saw him first during the two minutes' silence," she would recall. "Then when I was giving my messages I saw him again. He was wearing evening dress. He walked across the platform and sat in the empty chair. He was behind me, encouraging me while I was doing my work. I recognized once more that fine, clear voice of his, which could not be mistaken."
Whatever one's opinion of her psychic abilities, Mrs. Roberts's timing could not be faulted. Her announcement galvanized the audience. From the farthest reaches of the house, people strained for a better view of the empty chair.
A serene smile spread across Lady Conan Doyle's features. Mrs. Roberts stepped over to her side. "I have a message for you, dear, from Arthur," she said. Lady Conan Doyle gave a nod.
"Sir Arthur told me that one of you went into the hut this morning," Mrs. Roberts said, referring to a building on the family's Crowborough estate. "Is that correct?"
"Why, yes," said Lady Conan Doyle. "I did."
Mrs. Roberts nodded, and leaned forward. "The message is this: Tell Mary —"
Just then a second blast from the pipe organ drowned out the medium's voice, so that only those sitting nearby could hear. Mrs. Roberts spoke for some moments, while Conan Doyle's family listened intently. Occasionally one of his sons would lean forward to add a word of explanation or clarification. Lady Conan Doyle simply sat and listened.
For the rest of her life, Lady Conan Doyle would decline to discuss the contents of the message, saying only that she was perfectly convinced it had come from her husband. "I am as sure of that," she told a reporter that night, "and of the fact that he has been here, as I am that I am speaking to you."
Her sincerity was evident as she sat listening to the words of the medium. For several moments she sat perfectly still, her features radiant, her eyes fixed on a point at the far end of the hall. She held her gaze for several moments, then brushed her cheek and looked away.

Achievement guide
Single Player Achievements
Here are the single player achievements.. you can obtain these in either FPB or Standard Bomberman play. While it's true that there is no save feature in this game, getting to the end isn't as hard it seems. I was able to do it on my third try, and have beaten the game three times since then just for the heck of it.
If you are going to attempt it, make sure you allocate two hours game time. This is a Bomberman endurance test.
I suggest using Standard play. This way you can see the entire level at all times. Hearts are worth much more in Standard then they are in FPB mode and you will be getting plenty of those on your way to the end.
Make sure you try to get as many hearts and power-ups as you can in the beginning. Once you get to level 30, you should have Bombthru, Wallthru, Infinite Bomb and Linebomb. With that combination you can completely destroy any level in a matter of seconds. In the end you should have the following achievements:
Clear Round 10!
You have cleared 10 screens in Single Battle mode.
Clear Round 20!
You have cleared 20 screens in Single Battle mode.
Clear Round 30!
You have cleared 30 screens in Single Battle mode.
Clear Round 40!
You have cleared 40 screens in Single Battle mode.
Clear Round 50!
You have cleared 50 screens in Single Battle mode.
Clear Round 60!
You have cleared 60 screens in Single Battle mode.
Clear Round 70!
You have cleared 70 screens in Single Battle mode.
Clear Round 80!
You have cleared 80 screens in Single Battle mode.
Clear Round 90!
You have cleared 90 screens in Single Battle mode.
You reached the Land of Despair
Single Battle mode is all clear! Get back to the surface!
You should also have the following Survival achievements:
Survival Time 200
You have cleared Single Battle mode within 200 minutes.
Survival Time 150
You have cleared Single Battle mode within 150 minutes.
Survival Time 100
You have cleared Single Battle mode within 100 minutes.
It should not take you more then 100 minutes to beat it. This is 100 in-game minutes, and does not account for load times in between levels.. which brings the actual game time much higher in real life.
General Bomberman Achievements
Here are some general achievements that you will obtain over time.. these account for both offline and online play:
1,000 Bombs
You have set 1,000 bombs.
10,000 Bombs
You have set 10,000 bombs.
100,000 Bombs
You have set 100,000 bombs.
1,000,000 Bombs
You have set 1,000,000 bombs.
Simple enough? Any time you place a bomb in the game, it will count towards this achievement. Getting Linebomb and Infinite Bomb power-ups together will make this much easier to obtain.
Block Break 1,000
You Have Destroyed 1,000 Soft Blocks.
Block Break 10,000
You Have Destroyed 10,000 Soft Blocks.
Block Break 100,000
You Have Destroyed 100,000 Soft Blocks.
Block Break 1,000,000
You Have Destroyed 1,000,000 Soft Blocks.
Like the bomb achievements, any time you break a soft block it will count towards these. The number one hardest acheivement in Act Zero is Block Break 1,000,000. Doing this would take years of grinding the game, because there are only so many soft blocks per level and you cannot create more with power-ups like you can for the bomb achievements. No one in the world has this achievement yet.
Kill Achievements
Kill 100
You have defeated 100 opponents
Kill 500
You have defeated 500 opponents.
Kill 1000
You have defeated 1000 opponents.
For these, you have to kill people online with your own bomb. You must get the kill, and if an opponent kills himseft by a pressure block or his own bomb it will not count.
Battle and Room Achievements
Battle 100
You have had 100 battles.
Battle 1000
You have had 1000 battles.
Battle 10,000
You have had 10,000 battles.
Room Master
You have created a room and fought a battle.
Room Master 10
You have created rooms and fought 10 battles.
Room Master 100
You have created rooms and fought 100 battles.
These are also pretty simple to understand.. you just have to join a room or create a room to get these. If a match is mutliple rounds, all of the rounds only count for one battle.. so host Battle Royal (1 match) rooms to get these achievements faster.
Battle Score Achievements
Battle Score 5,000
You have reached a Battle Score of 5,000 points.
Battle Score 10,000
You have reached a Battle Score of 10,000 points.
Battle Score 50,000
You have reached a Battle Score of 50,000 points.
Battle Score 100,000
You have reached a Battle Score of 100,000 points.
Battle Score 1,000,000
You have reached a Battle Score of 1,000,000 points.
Another simple one, this is your ranked score. Raise your score and you'll get these in time. Try Battle Royal matches, you get more points for the more people you kill in a row!
Battle Royal Achievements
Battle Royal - Kill 10
You have defeated 10 people in Battle Royal.
Battle Royal - Kill 30
You have defeated 30 people in Battle Royal.
Battle Royal - Kill 50
You have defeated 50 people in Battle Royal.
Battle Royal - Kill 100
You have defeated 100 people in Battle Royal.
You get these by both killing people and winning Battle Royal matches in a row. Every person you kill in a Battle Royal goes towards this total (which you can see next to your name as you play the match) but if you get killed even once while in a Battle Royal.. the number will reset. This makes them very difficult to obtain legitimately.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A broad spectrum of evangelicals has issued a renewed call for immigration reform.
Groups ranging from the Southern Baptists and Focus on the Family to Hispanic and liberal evangelicals are calling for legislation that secures borders while offering illegal immigrants a path toward citizenship.
At a Washington news conference, they pledged to both lobby political leaders and rally church members.
The ministry leaders said respect for the rule of law must be balanced with compassion so that deportations don't divide families.
The Southern Baptist Convention's ethics chief, the Rev. Richard Land, said a national solution is needed because state laws cracking down on illegal immigrants are doing "real harm to the social fabric of the nation."

7 years on, Waterbury Center man is still missing
WAITSFIELD Seven years after the disappearance of a Waterbury Center man, law enforcement is renewing its call for help from the public in solving the mystery.
Donald Messier, who was 34 when he went missing, was last seen at a party in Waitsfield on Oct. 15, 2006. Messier reportedly left the party in his red Ford F-150 and hasnt been heard from since. His truck has not been located.
Messier is described as a white male, 6 feet tall, weighing between 230 and 275 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes.
According to National Cold Case Missing Persons of Mullica Hill, N.J., Messier may have been injured and unable to get out of a ravine, the woods, a quarry or lake. With hunters soon to be out in the woods, its hoped someone may come upon information leading to his whereabouts.
Anyone with information about Messier or the truck is asked to contact Vermont State Police at 229-9191.MORE IN This Just InPHILADELPHIA Many delegates from Vermont arrived at the Democratic National Convention this...

Dear Fellow North Carolinians,
Our theme for this year's SBTDC Annual Report is "Proven Expertise and Results for North Carolina's Growing Companies". This is well reflected in both our strategic approach to services and our commitment to continuous self-assessment and improvement.
A decade ago, we thoroughly considered the question of what was the most impactful role of the SBTDC in the small business development landscape of North Carolina. From this we concluded that our highest and best value was as expert business advisors providing in-depth counseling and guidance to existing businesses.
Effectively serving existing businesses, particularly those with growth potential, has required a strong commitment to continuous enhancement of our professional skills and competencies.
We addressed this through our requirement that all of our professionals maintain and enhance their counseling skills and technical competencies through continuing professional education. To accomplish this, we have remained committed to providing ongoing opportunities and financial support for staff professional development.
Our approach has proven effective. Clients routinely comment on the professionalism and expertise of our staff. They also view our counselors as trusted advisors with a deep interest in their business and their success.
Nothing says this better than a picture – in this case, a brief video from a client about their experience with the SBTDC. To hear from two co-founders of North State Aviation, click here.
We welcome your comments and inquiries about the SBTDC.
Scott Daugherty

SEOUL, Jan. 19 (Yonhap) -- The United States will brief South Korea on the recently announced reforms of the scandal-hit National Security Agency (NSA), including a likely ban on eavesdropping on South Korean President Park Geun-hye, a South Korean government official said Sunday.
On Friday, U.S. President Barack Obama pledged to limit the NSA's eavesdropping on leaders of U.S. allies amid international outrage over revelations that the intelligence agency wiretapped the conversations of the leaders of 35 nations.
Seoul filed several requests with Washington to verify the reports, but received no specific reply, according to South Korean government officials.
"I understand that the U.S. government plans to provide further explanations on the background of the NSA reforms and their follow-up measures to each country through their embassies (in the U.S.)," one government official said, asking that he not be identified.
Citing Obama's pledge not to monitor the communications of heads of state of "close friends and allies," the official indicated that Park would be among them.
"Of course, South Korea is one of the U.S.' close allies," he said.

Evidence (low-dose rate vs. high-dose rate intracavitary radiation therapy):
- Although low-dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy, typically with cesium Cs 137, has been the traditional approach, the use of high-dose rate (HDR) therapy, typically with iridium Ir 192, is rapidly increasing. HDR brachytherapy provides the advantage of eliminating radiation exposure to medical personnel, a shorter treatment time, patient convenience, and improved outpatient management. The American Brachytherapy Society has published guidelines for the use of LDR and HDR brachytherapy as a component of cervical cancer treatment.[14,15]
- In three randomized trials, HDR brachytherapy was comparable with LDR brachytherapy in terms of local-regional control and complication rates.[16,17,18][Level of evidence: 1iiDii]
- In an attempt to improve upon standard chemoradiation, a phase III randomized trial compared concurrent gemcitabine plus cisplatin and radiation therapy followed by adjuvant gemcitabine and cisplatin (experimental arm) with concurrent cisplatin plus radiation (standard chemoradiation) in patients with stages IIB to IVA cervical cancer.[19][Level of evidence: 1iiA] A total of 515 patients from nine countries were enrolled. The schedule for the experimental arm was cisplatin (40 mg/m2) and gemcitabine (125 mg/m2) weekly for 6 weeks with concurrent EBRT (50.4 Gy in 28 fractions) followed by brachytherapy (30-35 Gy in 96 hours) and then two adjuvant 21-day cycles of cisplatin (50 mg/m2) on day 1 plus gemcitabine (1,000 mg/m2) on days 1 and 8. The standard arm was cisplatin (40 mg/m2) weekly for 6 weeks with concurrent EBRT and brachytherapy as described for the experimental arm.
- The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) at 3 years; however, the study found improvement in the experimental arm for PFS at 3 years (74.4%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 68%-79.8% vs. 65.0%; 95% CI, 58.5%-70.7%); overall PFS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.68; 95% CI, 0.49-0.95); and OS (HR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.49-0.95). Patients in the experimental arm had increased hematologic and nonhematologic grade 3 or 4 toxic effects, and two deaths in the experimental arm were possibly related to treatment.
A subgroup analysis showed an increased benefit in patients with a higher stage of disease (stages III-IVA vs. stage IIB), which suggested that the increased toxic effects of the experimental protocol may be justified for these patients.[20] Additional investigation is needed to determine which aspect of the experimental arm led to improved survival (i.e., the addition of the weekly gemcitabine, the adjuvant chemotherapy, or both) and to determine quality of life during and after treatment, a condition that was omitted from the protocol.

Enjoying baking once again!
By Joyhiker
from Longmont CO
Comments about GE 30" Single Electric Wall Oven - Black:
Basically, I am fairly happy with this product - still trying to adjust to oven temps and timing, especially for baking. Takes a long time to heat up to set temperature and the convection fan is a little noisy. I use the steam cleaning feature frequently and it works great.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great, even baking with multi racks!
By sagelutz
from FL
GE was the only oven I found that had all the features I wanted: 30", convection- (the one I had was 24", non-convection),3 porcelain coated racks, it would fit under my cook top and black (and didn't cost a fortune!). With 3 racks, I can get a triple batch of cupcakes in at the same time, and they come out perfectly!
works very well

Super Oven
By Augie_1
from St. Louis, MO, United States
We had a GE in the wall oven/microwave combo for 25 years and it finally gave up the ghost. After searching and reading we chose GE once again. Our original oven was small, this oven is huge. We have been very happy with everything we have cooked in it for the last several months. We really like the feature where it beeps when there is a minute left in the cooking cycle. This is really a great oven and I would highly recommend it. We also bought a GE microwave with the trim kit that allows it to be installed into the wall. We placed that over the oven and are very happy.

Hey, look at that! I made a comic really fast and forgot to put it up! Heehhh.. woops. This one has a little more cussing than normal because that's just the kinda guy that Negan is. I think I've only had one f-bomb in Same Apt, but I could be wrong. Anyway, John came up with this upon seeing the.. let's say controversial season finale to The Walking Dead. We don't read the comics, but I know what happens in this scene and how it plays out, and it was a bit of a let down to get the cliffhanger as you can see from the first panel. Still I'm looking forward to the upcoming season. Don't fuck it up Gimple.

Vallecito, CA...Multi-instrumentalist David Lindley performs music that redefines the word "eclectic." Lindley, well known for his many years as the featured accompanist with Jackson Browne, and leader of his own band El Rayo-X, has long championed the concept of world music. The David Lindley electro-acoustic performance effortlessly combines American folk, blues, and bluegrass traditions with elements from African, Arabic, Asian, Celtic, Malagasy, and Turkish musical sources. Lindley incorporates an incredible array of stringed instruments including but not limited to Kona and Weissenborn Hawaiian lap steel guitar, Turkish saz and chumbus, Middle Eastern oud, and Irish bouzouki. The eye-poppingly clad "Mr. Dave's" uncanny vocal mimicry and demented sense of humor make his onstage banter a highlight of the show.

Sensational thanks FT. I made these tonight with a couple of tiny alterations-I don't much like nutmeg, so used fennel seed (which loves pork) and added a good pinch of chilli flakes. I made a double mix, but only added in 3 eggs (more than enough I reckon). As a note to myself; next time, fry a tablespoon of mix before forming to check for seasoning (I think I could have added more salt), and after passing the meat through the coarse disc of my mincer, pass it trough the fine one. The mixture was super tasty, but a little coarse and loose for a sausage. My mincer has a sausage making attachment but I didn't have any skins-I formed the sausages by hand.
First post and I didn't catch the review stars input. An easy 5.
We really liked the flavor of these sausages. I think the pork belly was pretty meaty, so they turned out fairly lean, which we enjoyed. The flour gave them a bit of a crust, and helped to hold them together while cooking. This time I used the food processor to mince the meat and grate the onion. I'd love to get a meat grinder and sausage stuffer so I can make them like regular sausages. I also want to experiment with different herbs, too. Thanks so much for posting this recipe, so we could try some bangers and mash!
I've just made this up as a filling for sausage rolls. OK it's not to the letter, I had no belly pork so just used minced shoulder. I did add the fennel as suggested by a reviewer, but I overdid it a bit and the fennel flavour came over too much. I also found that the mixture was a bit too wet. So what to do? Well I added a bit of ginger and some cumin as well as some more nutmeg, and I threw in a couple of tablespoons of cous-cous and left it in the fridge to firm up for half an hour. I've fried a sample to test it, and the result is a really excellent sausage. Meaty, flavoursome. A Real Man's Sausage. My rough puff pastry is resting in the fridge and I can't wait to eat it all. Thank you for posting this. I used to be able to buy really good sausages at my local butcher's but, after 113 years, he has just gone bust. The supermarket ones are not worth buying. This has inspired me to have a go at making my own.
Great recipe! Used the recommended sage, thyme and marjoram and 1 ts each would not be too much. The lemon zest really shines through, so depending on what the bangers are served with, I might choose to leave it out sometimes.
