"The bard of biological weapons captures
the drama of the front lines."
-Richard Danzig, former secretary of the navy
The first major bioterror event in the United States-the anthrax attacks in October 2001-was a clarion call for scientists who work with "hot" agents to find ways of protecting civilian populations against biological weapons. In The Demon in the Freezer, his first nonfiction book since The Hot Zone, a #1 New York Times bestseller, Richard Preston takes us into the heart of Usamriid, the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Maryland, once the headquarters of the U.S. biological weapons program and now the epicenter of national biodefense.
Peter Jahrling, the top scientist at Usamriid, a wry virologist who cut his teeth on Ebola, one of the world's most lethal emerging viruses, has ORCON security clearance that gives him access to top secret information on bioweapons. His most urgent priority is to develop a drug that will take on smallpox-and win. Eradicated from the planet in 1979 in one of the great triumphs of modern science, the smallpox virus now resides, officially, in only two high-security freezers-at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta and in Siberia, at a Russian virology institute called Vector. But the demon in the freezer has been set loose. It is almost certain that illegal stocks are in the possession of hostile states, including Iraq and North Korea. Jahrling is haunted by the thought that biologists in secret labs are using genetic engineering to create a new superpox virus, a smallpox resistant to all vaccines.
Usamriid went into a state of Delta Alert on September 11 and activated its emergency response teams when the first anthrax letters were opened in New York and Washington, D.C. Preston reports, in unprecedented detail, on the government's response to the attacks and takes us into the ongoing FBI investigation. His story is based on interviews with top-level FBI agents and with Dr. Steven Hatfill.
Jahrling is leading a team of scientists doing controversial experiments with live smallpox virus at CDC. Preston takes us into the lab where Jahrling is reawakening smallpox and explains, with cool and devastating precision, what may be at stake if his last bold experiment fails.
Editorial Reviews
"Richard Preston has brought us another book that reads like a top-notch thriller. Would that it were fiction. As the movie unfolds in your mind, remember this: It can happen here."
-Laurie Garrett, author of The Coming Plague
"The Demon in the Freezer is fascinating, frightening, and important. It reads like a thriller, but the demons are real. Richard Preston has a 'black patent' on this kind of reporting and storytelling. He is the only writer on the scene who can make the inside story of biological weapons so darkly entertaining.
Read this book and pray that its heroes can lock the demon back in the freezer."
-Jonathan Weiner, author of The Beak of the Finch
Praise for The Hot Zone
"One of the most horrifying things I've ever read in my whole life. What a remarkable piece of work. I devoured it in two or three sittings, and have a feeling the memories will linger a long time."
-Stephen King
"A tour de force . . . Preston uses the power of simple narrative to drive deep his story's urgent truths."
-Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Utterly engrossing . . . Will make your blood curdle."

Chapter 1
Something in the Air Journey Inward
In the early nineteen seventies, a British photo retoucher named Robert Stevens arrived in south Florida to take a job at the National Enquirer, which is published in Palm Beach County. At the time, photo retouchers for supermarket tabloids used an airbrush (nowadays they use computers) to clarify news photographs of world leaders shaking hands with aliens or to give more punch to pictures of six-month-old babies who weigh three hundred pounds. Stevens was reputed to be one of the best photo retouchers in the business. The Enquirer was moving away from stories like "I Ate My Mother-in-Law's Head," and the editors recruited him to bring some class to the paper. They offered him much more than he made working for tabloids in Britain.
Stevens was in his early thirties when he moved to Florida. He bought a red Chevy pickup truck, and he put a CB radio in it and pasted an American-flag decal in the back window and installed a gun rack next to the flag. He didn't own a gun: the gun rack was for his fishing rods. Stevens spent a lot of time at lakes and canals around south Florida, where he would spin-cast for bass and panfish. He often stopped to drop a line in the water on his way to and from work. He became an American citizen. He would drink a Guinness or two in bars with his friends and explain the Constitution to them. "Bobby was the only English redneck I ever knew," Tom Wilbur, one of his best friends, said to me.
Stevens's best work tended to get the Enquirer sued. When the TV star Freddie Prinze shot himself to death, Stevens joined two photographs into a seamless image of Prinze and Raquel Welch at a party together. The implication was that they had been lovers, and this sparked a lawsuit. He enhanced a photograph of a woman with a long neck: "Giraffe Woman." Giraffe Woman sued. His most famous retouching job was on a photograph of Elvis lying dead in his coffin, which ran on the cover of the Enquirer. Elvis's bloated face looked a lot better in Stevens's version than it did in the handiwork of the mortician.
Robert Stevens was a kindhearted man. He filed the barbs off his fishing hooks so that he could release a lot of the fish he caught, and he took care of feral cats that lived in the swamps around his house. There was something boyish about him. Even when he was in his sixties, children in the neighborhood would knock on the door and ask his wife, Maureen, "Can Bobby come out and play?" Not long before he died, he began working for The Sun, a tabloid published by American Media, the company that also owns the National Enquirer. The two tabloids shared space in an office building in Boca Raton.
on thursday, September 27th, Robert Stevens and his wife drove to Charlotte, North Carolina, to visit their daughter Casey. They hiked at Chimney Rock Park, where each autumn brings the spectacular sight of five hundred or more migrating hawks soaring in the air at once, and Maureen took a photograph of her husband with the mountains behind him. By Sunday, Stevens was not feeling well. They left for Florida Sunday night, and he got sick to his stomach during the drive home. On Monday, he began running a high fever and became incoherent. At two o'clock on Tuesday morning, Maureen took him to the emergency room of the John F. Kennedy Medical Center in Palm Beach County. A doctor there thought he might have meningitis. Five hours later, Stevens started having convulsions.
The doctors performed a spinal tap on him, and the fluid came out cloudy. Dr. Larry Bush, an infectious-disease specialist, looked at slides of the fluid and saw that it was full of rod-shaped bacteria with flat ends, a little like slender macaroni. The bacteria were colored blue with Gram stain-they were Gram-positive. Dr. Bush thought, anthrax. Anthrax, or Bacillus anthracis, is a single-celled bacterial micro-organism that forms spores, and it grows explosively in lymph and blood. By Thursday, October 4th, a state lab had confirmed the diagnosis. Stevens's symptoms were consistent with inhalation anthrax, which is caused when a person breathes in the spores. The disease is extremely rare. There had been only eighteen cases of inhalation anthrax in the past hundred years in the United States, and the last reported case had been twenty-three years earlier. The fact that anthrax popped into Dr. Bush's mind had not a little to do with recent news reports about two of the September 11th hijackers casing airports around south Florida and inquiring about renting crop-dusting aircraft. Anthrax could be distributed from a small airplane.
Stevens went into a coma, and at around four o'clock in the afternoon of Friday, October 5th, he suffered a fatal breathing arrest. Minutes later, one of his doctors made a telephone call to the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-the CDC-in Atlanta, and spoke with Dr. Sherif Zaki, the chief of infectious-diseases pathology.
Sherif Zaki inhabits a tiny office on the second floor of Building 1 at the CDC. The hallway is made of white cinder block, and the floor is linoleum. The buildings of the CDC sit jammed together and joined by walkways on a tight little campus in a green and hilly neighborhood in northeast Atlanta. Building 1 is a brick oblong with aluminum-framed windows. It was built in the nineteen fifties, and the windows look as if they haven't been cleaned since then.
Sherif Zaki is a shy, quiet man in his late forties, with a gentle demeanor, a slight stoop in his posture, a round face, and pale green eyes distinguished by dazzling pupils, which give him a piercing gaze. He speaks precisely, in a low voice. Zaki went out into the hallway, where his pathology group often gathered to talk about ongoing cases. "Mr. Stevens has passed away," he said.
"Who's going to do the post?" someone asked. A post is a postmortem exam, an autopsy.
Zaki and his team were going to do the post.
early the next morning, on Saturday, October 6th, Sherif Zaki and his team of CDC pathologists arrived in West Palm Beach in a chartered jet, and a van took them to the Palm Beach County medical examiner's office, which takes up two modern, one-story buildings set under palm trees on a stretch of industrial land near the airport. They went straight to the autopsy suite, carrying bags of tools and gear. The autopsy suite is a large, open room in the center of one of the buildings. Two autopsies were in progress. Palm Beach medical examiners were bending over opened bodies on tables, and there was an odor of fecal matter in the air, which is the normal smell of an autopsy. The examiners stopped work when the CDC people entered.
"We're here to assist you," Zaki said in his quiet way.
The examiners were polite and helpful but did not make eye contact, and Zaki sensed that they were afraid. Stevens's body contained anthrax cells, although he had not been dead long enough for the cells to become large numbers of spores. In any case, any spores in his body were wet, and wet anthrax spores are nowhere near as dangerous as dry spores, which can float in the air like dandelion seeds, looking for fertile ground.
The CDC people opened a door in the morgue refrigerator and pulled out a tray. The body had been zipped up inside a Tyvek body bag. Without opening the bag, they lifted the body up by the shoulders and feet and placed it on a bare metal gurney. They rolled the gurney into a supply room and closed the door behind them. They would do the autopsy on the gurney in a closed room, to prevent the autopsy tables from being contaminated with spores.
The chief medical examiner of Palm Beach County, Dr. Lisa Flannagan, was going to do the primary incisions, while Zaki and his people would do the organ exams. Flannagan is a slender, self-assured woman, with a reputation as a top-notch examiner. Everybody gowned up, and they put on N-100 biohazard masks, clear plastic face shields, hair covers, rubber boots, and three layers of gloves. The middle glove was reinforced with Kevlar. Then they unzipped the bag.
The CDC team lifted the body up, gripping it beneath the shoulders and legs, and someone snatched the bag out from underneath it. They lowered the body back onto the bare metal deck of the gurney. Stevens had been a pleasant-looking man with a cheerful appearance. He was a bluish color now, and his eyes were half open.
Heraclitus said that when a man dies, a world passes away. The terribly human look on the face of the deceased man disturbed Sherif Zaki. It was so hard to picture this man in life and then to connect that picture with the body on the gurney. This was the toughest thing for a prosector, and you never got over it, really. Zaki did not want to connect the living man with the body. You had to put it aside, and you could not think about it. His duty now was to identify the exact type of disease that Stevens had, to learn if he had inhaled spores or perhaps had become infected some other way. This might help save lives. Yet cutting into an unfathomed body was difficult, and after a hard post, Sherif Zaki would not feel like himself for a week afterward. "It's not an uplifting process," Zaki said to me.
The team rolled Stevens onto his side and inspected his back under bright lights for signs of cutaneous anthrax-skin anthrax. They didn't find any, and they laid him back down.
Dr. Flannagan took up a scalpel and pressed the tip of the blade on the upper left part of the chest under the shoulder. She made a curving incision that went underneath the nipples, across the chest, and up to the opposite shoulder. Then, starting at the top of the sternum, she made a straight incision down to the solar plexus. This made a cut that looked like a Y, but with a curved top. She finished it with a short horizontal cut across the solar plexus. The opening incision looked rather like the profile of a wineglass.
Dr. Flannagan grasped the skin of the chest, and pulled it upward, peeling it off. She laid the blanket of skin around the neck. She pulled the skin away from the sides of the chest, revealing the ribs and sternum. She took up a pair of gardening shears and cut the ribs one by one, snipping them in a wide circle around the sternum. This was to free the chest plate, the front of the rib cage. When she had finished cutting the ribs, she pushed her fingertips underneath the chest plate and pried it upward, as if she were raising a lid from a box.
As Flannagan lifted the chest plate, a gush of bloody fluid poured out from under the ribs and ran down over the body and poured over the gurney and onto the floor.
The chest cavity was engorged with bloody liquid. No one in the room had ever done a post on a person who had died of anthrax. Zaki had studied photographs of autopsies that had been done on anthrax victims in the Soviet Union, in the spring of 1979, after a plume of finely ground anthrax dust had come out of a bioweapons manufacturing facility in Sverdlovsk (Yekaterinburg) and had killed at least sixty-six people downwind, but the photographs had not prepared him for the sight of the liquid that was pouring out of this man's chest. They were going to have quite a time cleaning up the room. The bloody liquid was saturated with anthrax cells, and the cells would quickly start turning into spores when they hit the air.
Dr. Flannagan stood back. It was the turn of the CDC team.
The CDC people wanted to look at the lymph nodes in the center of the chest. Working gently with his fingertips, Zaki separated the lungs and pulled them to either side, revealing the heart. The heart and lungs were drowned in red liquid. He couldn't see anything. Someone brought a ladle, and they started spooning the liquid from the chest. They poured it off into containers, and ultimately they had ladled out almost a gallon of it.
Zaki worked his way slowly down into the chest. Using a scalpel, he removed the heart and parts of the lungs, which revealed the lymph nodes of the chest, just below the fork of the bronchial tubes. The lymph nodes of a healthy person are pale nodules the size of peas. Stevens's lymph nodes were the size of plums, and they looked exactly like plums-they were large, shiny, and dark purple, verging on black. Zaki cut into a plum with his scalpel. It disintegrated at the touch of the blade, revealing a bloody interior, saturated with hemorrhage. This showed that the spores that had killed Stevens had gotten into his lungs through the air.
When they had finished the autopsy, the pathologists gathered up their tools and placed some of them inside the body cavity. The scalpels, the gardening shears, scissors, knives, the ladle-the prosection tools were now contaminated with anthrax. The team felt that the safest thing to do with them would be to destroy them. They packed the body cavity with absorbent batting, stuffing it in around the tools, and placed the body inside fresh double body bags. Then, using brushes and hand-pump sprayers filled with chemicals, they spent hours decontaminating the supply room, the bags, the gurney, the floor-everything that had come into contact with fluids from the autopsy. Robert Stevens was cremated. Sherif Zaki later recalled that when he was ladling the red liquid from Stevens's chest, the word murder never entered his mind.

The Demon in the Freezer is a wonderful book. It is so interesting because it is a true story, and smallpox and anthrax are real demons. The way Richard Preston set up the story was easy to follow, but kept it interesting. I enjoyed this novel considerably. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. For anyone who is interested in smallpox, anthrax, or diseases in general, this is a must-read book. If you aren¿t interested in diseases or biological weapons at all, this may not be the best book for you, but I¿d advise you to give it a chance. I think that almost anyone could enjoy this story because smallpox and anthrax are real demons that can affect us in real life.
Truely terrifying in complextion. It's much like The Hot Zone, but The Hot Zone is another excellent book.
Better than any fiction thriller! Richard Preston's latest book is written to keep you turning the pages. With his chapters being rather brief in length, you'll have the opportunity to take a deep breath ocasionally. Small pox, killing over one billion people in the last one hundred years is the disease doctors call the most horrific and now I can see why. Richard Preston fleshs out the real people, that are working in hopes of protecting us all, at the CDC & USAMRID facilities. Unfortunately, there is only so much they can do. My family and I will be first in line should the day come when the small pox vacination becomes available again. Get a good nights sleep before you read this book; it'll be a while before you do after you read it.
I was kidnapped by this book and wasn't released until i had read it cover to cover. I especially liked the part about who is suspected, but that is all i am going to say, because i don't want to ruin it for anybody
Richard Preston, author of the acclaimed book: 'The Hot Zone', once again delivers an easy-to-read, page-turner on our unseen enemies: viruses. Medical jargon aside or merely minimised for the lay-person, Preston writes with a conviction and is convincing in his prose on the inevitable. One day, we will encounter another threat. It may not be World War III, but rather the threat may come from nature and Darwin's idea of 'survival of the fittest'. The fittest that survive may be the virus. It may be enhanced by a nation's enemy playing 'Frankenstein' with microbial fire in their labs. The potential for another virus 'like the flu or the plague' to unleash a judgement on us is not one of fairytales or science fiction. An outbreak of pandemic proportions is not unrealistic given our easy access to other countries and Richard Preston offers an educational look at what some of these viruses may be, while also making us aware that we are not the strongest of the species, but our existence may very well be temporary.
Richard Preston does an excellent job of tracing the demise of smallpox through the dedicated world-wide efforts of many. He then shows how some decisions were made that we might wish could be rethought, given the subsequent events. He also does a good job of putting together the story of the post 9/11 anthrax events in this country. Having read Preston's other biological books, I found this one to be a little bit disjointed, as though it needed one more editing process to knit it all together a bit more cleanly. But I still recommend it hightly for the content.
Richard Preston does it again with Demon in the Freezer. A true page turner with excitement in every new chapter. As with Hot Zone and Cobra Event Mr. Preston delivers a complex scientific topic to the lay reader and does it superbly. I am anxiously awaiting his next adventure. I just hope it does not take too long. Well Done and a GREAT read!
wow! one of the bast books ive ever read. I dont read a lot and this was so good i went out and got the other books hes written. wow wow wow wow wow !!!!!
It's just me i guess, tired of reading about pus and smallpox
The tacos
Very scary read but informative! Highly recommended!
Starts out a great read, but it drags on after a few chapters
Great easy read about smallpox and its history.only gave 4 stars because im not done reading it yet. Each chapter reveals new info on the topic from past to present. Stories of people who contracted the disease as well as detailed interesting epidemiology info. Im really loving this book so far!i love all kinds of books. Love stories are great and all but this book takes you back to the real world where real bad things exist
Was good but slow at some parts.

Tomasz Gop provides a few details on Project RPG
Former CD Projekt man Tomasz Gop has announced the RPG he's working on contains a combat system inspired by Arkham City, Dark Souls and Kingdoms of Amalur. Developed by Deck13, the game – codenamed Project RPG – will take place 1000 years after the death of a God, whose corpse has turned into a mountain thus dividing the earth in twain. Each half adheres to its own belief system which means you will have to choose your side early on in the game. Enemies in it will also be recognizable by their behavior instead of how they appear. City Interactive is the publisher, and it is slated for release on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 sometime next year. Thanks, DigitalSpy.

PATNA, India (AP) -- A railway official says at least four people were killed when a passenger train collided with a freight train in northern India.
Local station master K.P. Singh says a freight train at the Karanpuratu railway station in the northern state of Jharkhand rolled backward onto a track just before a Delhi-bound passenger train pulled into the station on the same track.
He says the resulting collision at 5:40 a.m. Wednesday killed four people and injured five others.
Accidents are common on India's railroad network -- one of the world's largest, with some 14 million passengers daily.
Most collisions are blamed on poor maintenance and human error.

Canseco batted for Cone in Game 4, and it was an important at-bat in a close game. The Yankees led 3-2 with two on and two out when Jose did strike out looking, on a 2-2 pitch.
That's a detail most players wouldn't want to be fuzzy about.

On breaking through to the majors:
- I was very aware that baseball was closed to a young Latino like me ... Many talented young athletes were playing street baseball in Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Domincan Republic,
and many other Latin American countries, but the barriers to breaking
into the major leagues were almost impossible for most to get around.
-- p. 39
Here's how "closed" baseball was in 1982, the year which he is writing about: 29 Puerto Ricans and 33 Dominicans played in the majors that season. That's 62 players -- I stopped counting after that -- breaking the "impossible" barriers.
Among those 62: Jose Cruz, two-time All-Star; Sixto Lezcano, 1979 Gold Glover; Willie Hernandez, the 1984 AL MVP and Cy Young Award winner.

More on his rookie season:
- I was glad to get back to Oakland after the All-Star break ... I

Canseco did have an 0-for-40 run that began on Aug. 8, 108 games into the season, but coming back from the All-Star break, he went 2-for-4 in his first game, and 7-for-37 in the first 10 games following the break.

Hello again everyone, this is Pheng Xiong from AMA's BALL marketing team. Today, we learned about how to set up the lights, and the different a views of light in a shot. We also reviewed the role of a director while asking bystanders to do interviews for us, as well as other roles including the sound, camera, lights, and anchor. We shot ourselves in film as an example of what we will be doing this coming Saturday on the 11th.
Photographs and digitally edited art.
Hi, this is Choua Lo, and I will be blogging about what I did today with my team. First off, starting from this morning we set up the equipments for the video interviews. The video interview was practice for this upcoming Saturday. We basically did that for the whole day while switching departments from audio, camera, director, anchor, lighting, and bystander. We interviewed about Bicultural Healthy Living, and we asked two simple questions for the bystander.

Hello again, this is Pheng Xiong from AMA's BALL team. We are currently learning more into the camera features and the Zoom H6 audio recorder. We already learned how to use the camera automatically and played around with manually, along with how to apply the rule of thirds. We focus a lot on the Zoom H6 audio recorder and how to set it up and how to record properly. It's cool because when you learn about these things, you will want to play around with the equipments more!
Hello again everyone! I am Pheng Xiong. I learned a lot about BALL. It is about different cultures and how they can make a healthy living, and not just focusing on one culture. Turns out, cultures can be healthy in different ways, and we want to find a way to promote is in many or every ways.
Hi, this is Choua Lo, and today I learned more about how to use the Canon, and I also took pictures of my group while they were drawing and animating their pictures.

Today, we took some photos to make some more postcard for our obesity awareness project. We also took pictures of us holding on a sign for Bi-cultural Healthy living. Also, with all the picture taking, we work on videos for Bicultural Healthy Living. The filming was nerve wreaking but I had a lot of fun. I learn a lot of things about filming while they were video taping me and other interns. I had a lot of fun today.

After all the scrutiny directed at Pius XII in the past decade, two things might justify another book about his actions during and after the Holocaust: new historical sources or a new historical vision. Michael Phayer, author of the indispensable The Catholic Church and the Holocaust (2001), claims to have both: newly declassified documents from American intelligence officials and diplomats operating in Europe in the 1940s, and a comprehensive view that accounts for Pius XII's controversial behavior—anti-Communism. Phayer portrays Pius as the "first cold warrior" with an "obsession with Communism" that overpowered every other consideration when it came to Hitler's Germany. This book invites two questions from the reader. First, did U.S. intelligence officers operating outside the Vatican gain insights that might advance our understanding of what was happening inside the Vatican? Second, does anti-Communism, undoubtedly central to Pius's mindset, provide a key that will finally unlock the mystery of why he acted as he did in the 1940s?
As far as the war years are concerned, Phayer actually adds to the mystery. We know that Pius never openly condemned Nazi genocide of the Jews. But what did he say when fellow Catholics became victims of mass murder? The answer is: not much. From the fall of...

What's So Good About Suffering?
A few weeks ago, my father was hospitalized for heart attack symptoms that might have been stroke symptoms that then turned out to be symptoms of something utterly inexplicable. My father, who suffered a massive heart attack in January 2009, and, against all odds and by the grace of God (he flat-lined twice), went on to survive subsequent surgeries and procedures and scares — always against all odds and by God's grace. Though my father continues to survive and in many ways thrive, every hospitalization is a reminder that life is precious and short and tomorrow is not guaranteed to us.
This development has left me crying out to God, "Why? I know you don't have to answer that, but … why?" This question reveals my heart: despite having known real and intense suffering in my life, I still live under the illusion that it is not normal. It's been commonly reported, discussed, and parodied that those of us in the west, particularly in America, have no concept of how to deal with suffering. For many of us, even minor inconveniences — those "first world problems" like slow Internet access or traffic — feel like suffering in a relatively peaceful and easy world.
But as a Christian, I'm confronted by Scripture that reminds me that suffering will be part of our lives. And I'm confronted by the tendency — which I am sure that I share with many of my sisters and brothers — to shun it, preferring Gospels without suffering instead.

Grammy, can you PING your prayer warriors?
You have my prayers frogjerk. They have made remarkable progress in heart defects over the years. My one year old grandson was born with major heart defects and had two heart surgeries by the time he was 3 months old. He has one more surgery to go when he's about 3 ... but ... to see this child you would never know that he has gone through this in life. He is a bundle of joy and motion. Praying for the Lord's blessings for you and your family.

By greater coincidence, that daughter gave birth to a daughter on Wednesday also! The mother is about 23 now.
Both are doing fine, as I'm sure your niece will!
Maybe the parents will enjoy the parallels.
Prayers for the little one and her parents.

Prayers for your precious niece and family!

James Murphy's the Four Horsemen Offers Natural Wine, Rare Beer, and Serious Snacks
It's now open in Williamsburg.
It's now open in Williamsburg.
It's going to be called the Four Horsemen and it's scheduled to open in a couple of weeks.
The guys have some feelings about happiness and success.
The LCD Soundsystem polymath has just debuted his first coffee-bean blend.
He's also finally selling James Murphy's personal coffee line.
"The pretzel roll is my weakness. It's like a warm roll and a pretzel. Together. With butter. Let me know if you hear what I'm saying."
A rep for the company says a song in a new ad is an original work.
The ad's soundtrack sure does sound a lot like "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House."
"I love that we're here and talking about a film, but I'm like, 'I can't really talk about the coffee.'"
Including Wylie's root-beer ribs, Sondre Lerche, and the pervasive smell of wood smoke.
The French celebration of food-world enfants terribles is back.
Mayhem at the Paper nightlife awards.
Both are owned by rockers, but one is an Italian restaurant in the West Village and the other is a downtown dance den.
James Murphy reveals on the message board of his label, DFA, that he'll be doing a little something there called Special Disco Version at Andrew WK's new party pad.

The drag is that they're all very short. Some are over before they begin.
As a masturbatory aid, one can see where this might be a problem.
However, if sheer quantity and variety is your bag, this might fit the bill quite nicely.

why insiders bought high and sold at the lowest prices? That does not sound good. Any input?
new insider sold shares this week
sold 10,120 shares @ $ 3.8742 on April 11th
HUSA will go to $3 by end of next week
You may be the dumbest short of all.
The footnote says:
( 1 )Pledged shares sold pursuant to margin requirements of lender.
it was nothing more than a margin call. who knew the shortholes would drive this down so hard?
Don't blame on the shorts. He should know his own company before bought on margin. Looks like it's going down hill from here.
He got a MARGIN call !! Read the fine print:
"Pledged shares sold pursuant to margin requirements of lender."
Take advantage of this and BUY at these levels.
A margin call - laughable. Only a total moron would be on margin with this turd. But sure says a lot about the quality of management - even they were part of the cabal propping up this over valued turd. And now he (and all the other pumpers) are getting their hat handed to them.
Will be interested to see how low this turd collapses when the well results are released. HUSA isn't worth $2 share based on better funded comparables like PetroDorado (who also have better concessions).
And what happens when this hits $2? Yup, that's right. They have to go hat in hand to the market to try and raise enough cash to drill the next wells - but that's what happens when your bank accounts are almost empty. As such, get ready for massive dilution...
Yeah, tawes sold over 400,000 shares since last week of March, all the way up to yesterday. that kind of says a lot, eh? Based on what I see the stock price is doing, it looks like he is pretty smart. He has been selling since a couple of bucks ago.
could you have forecasted the damage these naked shorts have/are/and will do?
what are you talking about??
no insiders have willingly (Key word) sold, the only sales have been forced margin calls and they have been minimal.
just look at the insider transaction since a couple days ago

The England international finally returned to full training on Thursday after a niggling ankle injury sidelined him for the whole of last season, also ruling him out of contention for Euro 2012.
Wenger, though, will take no chances with the 20-year-old, who is likely to have a few reserve outings before being considered for first-team action.
The Gunners boss understands Wilshere has been through a testing spell of "highs and lows" during his 14-month rehabilitation, a spell which saw him need further surgery just when a recovery appeared on the horizon.
"When you are so young and out for 14 months that is a good test for your mental strength," said Wenger. "On that front he has been absolutely brilliant because he had not only ankle surgery, but when he thought that was over he had knee surgery. He handled that very well, I must say.
"I refused to give up, because he is a 19-year-old boy, so I always thought he would come back.
"I am not medically expert enough to know how big the damage was in his ankle. It never crossed my mind. Has it crossed his mind? Only he can answer that - I think, yes. Jack, though, has always been with a good level of confidence. I believe what he has gone through will make him even stronger."

On the Erskine River, surrounded on three sides by forest ranges, and to the south by the spectacular Southern Ocean, it was the first place declared an area of 'special significance and natural beauty' by the Victorian Government.
On a bay named after Captain Louttit, who sought shelter there around 1840 while retrieving cargo from a ship-wreck, it was first settled by William Lindsay, a timber-cutter who began felling the area. Subdivision began in 1869 and the town was named after the Marquis of Lorne. Much of its colourful history is preserved in the gracious homes which remain.

Great memories here of family holidays in my teens - must get back one day. leyle
Wow, it looks incredible! I would love to visit Australia one day, but it's so far away!
We only recently came back to Brissy from a trip on the Great Ocean Road. Have to say, after a couple of hours, I was very carsick!! :( Beautiful photos and great information! Greetings from hot and sunny Brissy! Trina
Lorne Beach looks just amazing, great photos. Well worth visiting this place it seems.
it looks lovely here, your waterfall picture is beautiful ! l keep finding so many lovely pages on Australia, l think we`ll need 6 months, not 6 weeks for our trip
I was drawn in by the beautiful picture on the home page! All of the pictures on this page are gorgeous!!!
It sure is a beautiful area. Surfed along that stretch of the west coast (of Vic) too many years ago & promised myself ever since I would go back. You've convinced me, it's time to plan for that.
This page brings me back a very nice memories. Very nice Susie, thanks!
What an absolutely beautiful place! I've never been to Australia but am now more motivated than ever to see your country!
Thxs for refreshing my memory on Lorne - we had gastronomic meals while we were there. But it is difficult to get around to the Erskine falls without a private transport - nevertheless I did enjoy Lorne

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
I should start a website called Zoo Review and travel to every zoo in the world and review them all. I'll do whatever it takes to raise the money for this project, and that includes selling my husband's tools and his boat and his canning supplies and his shiny new red truck.

We got two of those things for a dollar at Silver Springs this summer...lots of cash dropped there, let me tell you! It was fun, though, and my little brothers had a blast.

The Purdue Boilermakers and the Missouri Tigers have scheduled a 2017-18 home-and-home football series, Purdue director of athletics Morgan Burke has confirmed to FBSchedules.com.
In the first game of the series in 2017, Purdue will travel to face Missouri at Faurot Field in Columbia. The second and final game of the series will be played in 2018 at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette. Burke said that both games will be played in early September.
Purdue and Missouri last met in the 1980 Liberty Bowl in Memphis. The Boilermakers won that game 28-25 to extend their lead in the overall series to 6-2.
News of the Purdue-Missouri series was first reported on Twitter Friday by Mike Carmin of the Lafayette (Ind.) Journal and Courier. Carmin also reported that Purdue is close to signing a home-and-home series with the Nevada Wolf Pack.
Both Purdue and Missouri now have two non-conference games each for the 2017 and 2018 seasons. Purdue is slated to host Notre Dame in 2017 and travel to face the Irish in 2018. Mizzou has a home-and-home series with Wyoming on the books which has the Cowboys visiting Columbia in 2017 and the Tigers returning the trip in 2018.
Football Schedules
And if Missouri would have just waited one more year (or if the Big 10 hadn't been so pompous), this could have been a conference matchup.
Maybe…maybe not – never know w/ Jim Delany. Not sure why B1G passed on Missouri. Even as a Purdue fan gotta say that from a FB standpoint it probably worked out better for them that they ended up with the SEC.

Molecules that undergo both homophilic and heterophilic recognition processes could be incorporated into molecular electronic devices, solar cells, and other integrated devices. Examples of π-electronic organic molecules that exhibit both hetero- and homophilic recognition are rare.
The diazaperopyrenium cation (MP2+) is one such chameleonic molecule, that is, it can undergo both heterophilic and homophilic recognition processes. Researchers led by J. Fraser Stoddart, Northwestern University, USA, and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Daejon, have shown that the solid-state superstructure of this planar aromatic molecule comprises a continuous π stack of MP2+ units and can form single needlelike crystals on surfaces. This type of π−π stacking is common for radical cations but rare for dications.
Having established the homophilic recognition properties of MP2+, Stoddart and his team then investigated its heterophilic recognition behavior and found that it is bound by electron-rich polyether macrocycles. They then took advantage of this heterophilic templating effect to prepare a series of rotaxanes with MP2+ cores, including a rare example of two donor rings threaded through one MP2+ receptor (pictured).

I have a web-server where the default installation of mysql places all its database files in
/var/lib/mysql. The partition where
/var is mounted has only 2GB of space, so after running in space problems, I decided to relocate mysql's data directory.
My naive approach was to copy the
/var/lib/mysql directory completely to
/web/dbs/mysql, and change
/etc/mysql/my.cnf so that it reads
datadir = /web/dbs/mysql
However, after restarting, I get the following errors in the mysql error log, and the server won't start up.
130130 9:59:23 [Note] Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled.
/usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/plugin.frm' (errno: 13)
130130 9:59:23 [ERROR] Can't open the mysql.plugin table. Please run mysql_upgrade to create it.
130130 9:59:23 InnoDB: Initializing buffer pool, size = 8.0M
130130 9:59:23 InnoDB: Completed initialization of buffer pool
130130 9:59:23 InnoDB: Operating system error number 13 in a file operation.
InnoDB: The error means mysqld does not have the access rights to
InnoDB: the directory.
InnoDB: File name ./ibdata1
InnoDB: File operation call: 'open'.
InnoDB: Cannot continue operation.
All files and directories belong to
mysql:mysql. For testing, I even changed the access rights for
/web/dbs/mysql are
rwxrwxrwx for now.
And yes,
/web/dbs/mysql/mysql/plugin.frm does exist.
What could be the problem here? Am I missing something? Is there a more verbose output log available?
Some more information:
I retried everything with the following commands:
- I shut down the server
stop mysql
- I removed the old data
rm -r /web/dbs/mysql
- I copied using
cp -p -r /var/lib/mysql/ /web/dbs/
- I set the datadir in my.cnf to
datadir = /web/dbs/mysql
- I restarted the server. Same error
drwxr-xr-x 4 mysql mysql 34 2013-01-30 15:55 /web/dbs
drwx------ 19 mysql mysql 4096 2013-01-30 15:44 /web/dbs/mysql
drwx------ 2 mysql mysql 4096 2012-10-11 11:25 /web/dbs/mysql/mysql
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 8586 2012-08-14 19:15 /web/dbs/mysql/mysql/plugin.frm
When I reset the datadir to
datadir = /var/lib/mysql, the server starts without problems.
Tried the following:
root:/# su - mysql
mysql:~$ /usr/sbin/mysqld --verbose
130130 16:01:05 [Warning] Can't create test file /web/dbs/mysql/s15800994.lower-test
130130 16:01:05 [Warning] Can't create test file /web/dbs/mysql/s15800994.lower-test
mysql:~$ touch /web/dbs/mysql/s15800994.lower-test
mysql:~$ ls -l /web/dbs/mysql/s15800994.lower-test
-rw-r--r-- 1 mysql mysql 0 2013-01-30 16:01 /web/dbs/mysql/s15800994.lower-test
So the data directory is set correclty. The mysql user has write access, but the mysql process can't create the files.
What could be wrong?

DD started K on August 20th. I met the teacher at orientation and she was all smiles the whole time. She was so thankful for the supplies I bought and I left feeling really self-assured that DD would like her since she seemed so happy and eager to teach again. She has been teaching K for 15 years.
However, now I feel like DD's teacher is a little off, as in something feels not right. First, she never smiles. Whenever I see her she has a straight face on. Everytime I tell her or ask her something I feel like I am bothering her and I feel like she rushes me.
I volunteered one day this week (and plan to every week) and when it was time for me to go, her teachers aid said a quick 'thanks' but nothing from the teacher at all. She was busy but then nothing the day after either. I also told her I could volunteer more than one day a week or if anyone called in sick I could come in on short notice. All she said was "I will call you if I need you." When I volunteered at DD's preschool everyone was so appreciative and thankful, especially the teachers.
I asked her how DD did and told her I would most likely ask everyday and she said (kind of coldly) "I will tell you if there's a problem." Needles to say I still check. She has a 'star' board that the kids get erased from if they aren't behaving so I go in now and check that without bothering to ask her how DD did, unless I sense something happened.
Today I went in to talk to her because DD was acting out of character and she said that DD got her name erased off the star board for not listening but then helped the teacher clean up something and got put back on. She said DD seemed tired (with that look that says I must be one of those parents that puts her kid to bed late) and out-of-character.
It just seems that everything she says to me is cold and quick. I see her talking and laughing with other parents of kids in our class but the minute I get close all that changes. (Heck I even bought $50 worth of classroom supplies and took them to orientation so she would have them BEFORE school started).
I don't feel like I have given her any reason to be so cross with me. I have only known her for 10 days. DD says she likes her but I can't help but wonder if she treats DD the same way she treats me? I don't understand why it seems to be just with me. I buy things, offer to help, and make sure DD is polite and respectful to her, which she is.
What's up? How can I make things easier between us? I guess she formed an opinion of me before she really got to know me. I try to do everything I can to make sure that teachers are appreciated and respected.
(This teacher also has school aged kids).

I am having a hard time understanding how the ident protocol works. I came across a summary of how it works at Wikipedia however don't quite follow what it means
The Ident Protocol is designed to work as a server daemon, on a user's computer, where it receives requests to a specified port, generally 113. In a query, a client specifies a pair of ports (a local and a remote port). The server will then send a specially designed response that identifies the username of the user who runs the program that uses the specified pair of ports.
For example I assume that every OS has an ident server running. If so where does it receive an ident request to a specified port? In that query it states the client specifies a part of ports? Which is the client and which is the server?

By day, I use .NET languages and SQL Server --- a Microsoft technology stack. By night, I move to the open-source world: Python, MySQL, SQLite, Scheme, Common Lisp, and a little Lua. I enjoy my nights! I've been learning two much-maligned languages, Object Pascal and JavaScript, and have been surprised to find virtues to both.

text: I have a site that's running the infocus theme with three widgets in the sidebar. The widgets are sub navigation, blogroll and archives. I'd like to remove the blogroll and archives from all pages but the ones that the blog itself is on. Is it possible to do this with the current theme we have or do we have to install another theme and hack it that way? Thanks for the help!

I've got a handful of Plesk machines of various versions and operating systems, each hosting mail as well as web sites. Anyone who has dealt with Plesk knows that it can be pain to keep locked down. Between qmail's tendency to support backscatter spam and insecure contact forms published by users in PHP and ASP, there is a lot of potential for spamming and getting listed in RBLs.
In addition to locking down these machines as tightly as possible, I want to funnel all outbound mail to one or more outbound-only mail relays that have the ability to scan the mail for spam before sending it on its way.
I'd prefer Postfix, but I'm open to just about any open source solution. There are many, many tutorials for filtering inbound spam, but very few that even address the outbound spam problem, and most of those have little useful info.
Even a method to have Postfix sequester all outbound mail into a special queue that I could scan with home-rolled scripts and then re-inject into the outbound queue would be an option.
Any and all ideas and suggestions welcome.

I used to have a blogger account and it was easy to change the ONE template... so I don;t know where to look for what I want to do.
I want to add a single, small image
<img src="images/black.gif" width="4" height="4"> that will appear about two ems after the very last word or punctuation mark of each blog entry, on the same line, without having to enter an image tag in my actual posting every time. I just want it to "be there" when I view my site.
Where would I enter such code so that it is included as I have described?

I'd suggest that you honor the location that the servlet spec suggests for webapp configuration files, which is WEB-INF or - for resources loaded from the classpath as OJB does - WEB-INF/classes. If you put your files in there, OJB will find the files automatically (when using the default configuration), and it will be guaranteed to be portable across servlet containers.

Critical conversations the norm at diversity conference
Partnership recognized for reductions in bullying
As co-creator of the anti-bullying program, WITS, (Walk Away, Ignore, Talk it Out, Seek Help) Dr. Bonnie Leadbeater has worked tirelessly with community partners, police officers, school staff and administrators, and parents to protect children from peer violence and victimization. On December 2, 2013 Leadbeater was presented with the CIHR Partnership Award by the Governor General of Canada in recognition of her leadership of the WITS programs.
The lasting value of "sense of place"
People often have a place that holds special meaning for them. Whether it's somewhere childhood memories were made or a serene spot that soothes their soul, place can have a profound impact on people's lives.
WWI and Victoria: A city goes to war
The Empress Hotel opened its doors in 1908, less than 10 years before the start of World War One (1914-1918). Can you imagine the scenes over teacups in the recently built hotel when news of war broke out? Did the Inner Harbour look much different then, when Victoria residents strolling along the water first heard news their country was going to war?
Your art space, now Legacy Art Galleries
The University of Victoria's art collection inspires creativity, engages curiosity and fosters research and learning through art. Now its new name, Legacy Art Galleries, celebrates the legacy of the past and what is still to come.
United Way campaign nears midway mark
The 2013 UVic United Way campaign kicked off on Oct. 7 with a popcorn social at the Welcome Centre. UVic staff from across campus stopped by to drop off pledge forms and meet representatives from United Way Greater Victoria.
Advocating in the community interest
More than 35 years after it began operating in the downtown core, the UVic Law Centre continues to improve access to justice in the community, moving to shared space with the new Victoria Justice Access Centre in the Victoria courthouse late last month.
Open Doors (Nov. 9-18, 2013)

Scaling CARSA
What will take thousands of pairs of hands to climb? Imagine an 18-metre tower, rising up near UVic's McKinnon Building. In less than two years, community members can belt into harnesses and scale UVic's new climbing wall themselves.
Be an agent of change for United Way
Are you ready to be an agent of change? United Way Greater Victoria is once again counting on the support of UVic staff, faculty and students to help meet its 2013 fundraising goal of $6 million.
Follow your nose to the UVic campaign kick-off on Monday, Oct. 7 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the University Centre. Everyone is invited to drop in to the Welcome Centre to enjoy popcorn snacks and talk to representatives from United Way and UVic's campaign steering committee.

Rumor – First Saints Row 3 images show up
It looks as though the first image of Saints Row 3 has appeared over on NeoGAF.
Apparently, this is what the cover of the next Game Informer is going to look like.
It shows Johnny Gat with a gun, shades, a cool suit, and a bottle of bubbly.
Go have a look, and make it quick in case THQ gets busy with the lawyers.
A second image turned up after the fact, pasted in full glory below.
Saints Row 3 is slated for this fall, and may be related to a "big announcement" coming from THQ during the second week in March.
Thanks, Aha.

Age at first childbirth affects mothers' economic and psychological well-being later in life. Using a gender and power framework, two studies examined the associations among age at first childbirth, employment status, perceived choice, and race/ethnicity as predictors of economic and psychological well-being in a sample of middle class, married mothers (Study 1) and a nationally representative sample of married mothers (Study 2). Results indicated younger age at first childbirth is associated with less choice; lower educational attainment; lower SES; greater household labor; greater perceived chore discrepancy; lower self-esteem; less life, work, and relationship satisfaction; but is unrelated to depression or work stress. There were differences by employment status and minimal differences by race/ethnicity. The findings suggest that negative economic and psychological outcomes later in life are related to having one's first child at a younger age.
