Number 5 is so important. It helps you spread your wings and see even your own ideas in a different light. And yes, being who you are is the mostest. "To Thine Own Self Be True," and you will get far.

Numbers 9 and 10 speak to me. Should I worry that I love lying? :)

These are excellent! I loved them all. It's so true to take your craft seriously but not too seriously.

These are all wonderful. I like #9... :)

I found all of these to be true and relevant, but the one that really struck me was #6. I'm in the process of editing my MS and I'm going to have to kill some scenes that I really like. But it's a necessity.

Excellent Commandments! I especially like 5, 8 & 10! Well done!

- SharleneT said...
Hello, Fellow Challenger. Love the Commandments. I can't think of when I wasn't writing, so it's hard to find a place I'm not! Even when I take time off. I need your prayers. I'm #424 from Rockin' Chair Reflections. Come visit when you can.

This is such a great post!! So clever an idea, and in your handling of it. Love how you tell us to violate all the usual commandments: Lie, Cheat, Kill! Well done :D

- Nicki Ivey said...
I know, I know! But it's so hard to not want to have JK Rowling's success or Stephen King's prolific fingers. *sigh* Who is ever going to know Nicki?
Great post! I look forward to coming back for more!

- Laura Marcella said...
Hello, everyone! Thank you for your comments. I'm glad many of these commandments were insightful for you! I also have to work on #3, heehee. Hello and welcome to Wavy Lines to my new visitors and thank you so much for stopping by and commenting!! Happy A to Z, Zigzaggers!!

- Angi said...
Great advice. I'd better go wander outside my office to see why my children are so quiet right this moment.
- April 4, 2012 at 6:34 PM
- Laura Marcella said...
Angi- Hello and welcome to Wavy Lines! That's probably a good idea! I don't have little ones, but I have a husband and sometimes I have to wander outside my office to check on him because, let's face it, men are just little boys trapped in an adult body, LoL. ;) Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

- Jennifer Wells said...
Great post! #6 is especially difficult for me, but I've started using a trick to make it a bit easier. Copy whatever you have to cut into a new document. It won't end up in the final novel, but it makes it easier to make those necessary cuts.
- April 6, 2012 at 1:31 PM
- R.A.Desilets said...
It took me forever to consider myself a "writer." I'm not an "author" yet, and I'm not "published" yet, but I am a writer.
And I think it took me a really long time to accept that.
This is a nice list :)
- April 10, 2012 at 3:27 PM
- Laura Marcella said...
Jennifer- Hello and welcome to Wavy Lines! That's a terrific trick. It's the best thing about cutting and rewriting: You can save the old stuff just in case! Thanks for stopping by and commenting and I appreciate the follow!
R.A.- Hello and welcome to Wavy Lines! I think of it this way: A writer is one who writes! Even if you don't seek publication, even if it's a hobby, then you're a writer because you write. When I'm published I'll also call myself an author, but I'll always be a writer! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

MARTINEZ -- The Alhambra High School principal is resigning at the end of the school year, and a veteran administrator has already left the Martinez Unified School District.
Principal Nermin Fraser came to Martinez in 2011 from the San Ramon Valley Unified School District, where she was assistant principal at San Ramon Valley High School.
Neither Fraser nor Superintendent Rami Muth returned calls seeking comment.
Fraser replaced Sue Mirkovich, who had spent most of her career in Martinez including posts as assistant principal at Alhambra and principal of Las Juntas Elementary. Apparently, it wasn't a smooth transition.
"The staff definitely had some issues with her," Dave Eliaser, Martinez Education Association president said of Fraser.
"There's definitely been some unhappiness there since the previous principal, Sue, left and Nermin came in," Eliaser said. "This was Nermin's first principalship and sometimes first-time principals make mistakes and fall into a few traps and I'm afraid that's what happened to her."
Eliaser declined to elaborate.
Within a month of Fraser's arrival at Alhambra, she had to deal with two unsettling incidents. First, a school employee received an email threatening harm to the high school. Police later determined the threat was a hoax. A week later, district administrators locked down Alhambra for more than two hours after a teacher found an empty handgun case on campus.
Last week, CJ Cammack left his position as assistant superintendent of the Martinez Unified School District to become director of certificated human resources of the San Ramon Valley Unified School District.
"It's a really exciting and new opportunity for me to work in the HR field in a large-scale district," Cammack said.
Cammack, who spent almost nine years in Martinez, began his career in the Mt. Diablo Unified School District as a fifth-grade teacher at El Monte Elementary School in Concord. He joined Martinez as the vice principal of the junior high school and served as principal at Las Juntas Elementary and Morello Park Elementary.
As director of student services, Cammack was responsible for the district's special education programs and oversaw enrollment, expulsions and the school attendance review board. When Rick Rubino left last year, Cammack was promoted to assistant superintendent and assumed responsibility for personnel matters.
Eliaser praised Cammack's commitment to working with employee unions to solve problems.
"That was very refreshing and I'm sorry that we didn't have him long enough," he said.

20th Century Poetry
It's a wonderful list because it's diverse, personal, and would allow any reader to expand her or his reading. It also presumes the reader is experienced and curious; it's not a Poetry 101 list, so there are some obvious names missing (Williams, Pound) to make way for ones the list writer is particularly passionate about. And the selections are mostly of "difficult" poetry more than people like Mary Oliver or Billy Collins.
Of course, the list could be ten or a hundred times as long, but that would be much less helpful.
I'm resisting the temptation to offer my own idiosyncratic list, partly because I'm not a poet and am not nearly as familiar with contemporary poetry as Scott's friend, so my likes and dislikes among living poets are deeply idioscyncratic, full of holes and inconsistencies (although I will say, among recent discoveries, Jennifer Moxley and Donna Stonecipher make me happy to be able to read the English language). The only inconceivable lack on the list Scott posted that I see is Paul Celan, but that's just because Celan is, to me, the 20th century poet.
Maybe it's my teacherly inclinations, but I love these sorts of lists, where folks come up with obviously incomplete and personal guides to realms that can seem imposing to people less familiar with them. Modern and contemporary poetry are definitely such realms, so three cheers for Scott and his friend for creating and sharing the list.
3 comments:
Yes to Stonecipher!ReplyDelete
I'm throwing three cheers too: for Scott, his friend, and you. (You don't mention Jack Spicer on this entry, but your previous mentions of him were what got me hooked.)ReplyDelete
As for Celan, which translation do you recommend? Or which books?
Anyway, again, thanks!
It was the Michael Hamburger translations of Celan that made me fall in love with his work, and because those were my first, they still appeal to me a lot. Pierre Joris's translations of entire Celan books, though, are really useful -- not just because Joris is a poet in sympathy with some of Celan's ideas about language and poetry, but also because there's a difference between complete books and selections. But as a place to start, I don't think you can go wrong with either Hamburger's selection or the Joris selections that U. California Press released.ReplyDelete
And yes, Spicer is awesome!

Making the world a better place for women.
I am originally from Boston, MA and attended Melrose High School. I went to Middlebury College in Vermont where I was a dual major in American history and playwriting. The weekend after I graduated from Middlebury, I moved to NYC and worked as a M&A paralegal at Cravath.
After I graduated from Penn, I worked as an attorney on the food & drug team at Hunton & Williams. I also have a degree in bioethics from Penn, and several years ago I moved to the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues where I am currently Associate Director. I am still not sure what I want to be when I grow up, but I am particularly committed to making the world a better place for women–including most of all my beautiful new daughter.
I graduated from Penn with degrees in law and bioethics. When I worked as a lawyer, I was able to use my degree in bioethics to inform my work for pharmaceutical clients. Now that my work focuses on bioethics, I value the writing style and perspective my law degree gave me. I participated in the Child Advocacy Clinic with the late Prof. Alan Lerner whose commitment, outlook, and energy was an inspiration.
Creating an externship at HUP provided excellent training.
I summered at Healthcare For All in Boston which trained me in the nuances of our healthcare system. I also created an externship with the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania's Office of Legal Counsel where I received excellent training and focused on issues related to consent to reproduction.
I was also the Managing Director of Penn Law's Reproductive Rights student project. The law students involved in that project and I all worked hard but it was the little moments–like a thankful glance from a woman escorted safely into a health clinic–that were the power behind that program.
Heather Frattone from the Office of Career Planning & Professionalism helped me through the interviewing process and securing an excellent firm job. Arlene Rivera Finkelstein from the Toll Public Interest Center was the one who empowered me and supported me through my reproductive work at Penn and my return to public interest.
Penn Law is there for its students. In particular, the Senior Staff of the law school were present for me through every ambition, inspiration, and bump in the road. I would never be where I am today without the patience and guidance of some very excellent women on the Senior Staff of Penn Law.
My hands down best experience at Penn Law was directing the Vagina Monologues to a (more than) sold out crowd 3L year. Students, faculty, and staff seriously rocked Levy Conference Center.

As the wind whipped through Tiger Stadium on Friday night, the Lady Tigers' soccer team fought its way upfield in an attempt to end a 2-2 tie with the Eagle Valley Devils.
Sophomore Claire MacMurray put herself back into fight mode after Eagle Valley scored its second goal with less than 20 minutes left in the game. She charged the net. The defense stepped it up. Still, strong winds and cooler temperatures than those in Steamboat's season opener on Thursday had chilled the pace of the game.
And so, tied at 2-2, the game went into two 5-minute, sudden-death overtimes.
Summit had a few opportunities, but none converted. Then, in the second overtime, the Devils took it up a notch. After a few failed attempts at cross-goal shots (goalie Tessa Winston made two saves; a defender made the third), Eagle Valley's Megan Asmasussen received a pass and pressed the ball into the net for the final 3-2 score.
"Tonight was a hard one," head coach Tommy Gogolen said. "The girls played last night. They were feeling good coming into this game. We were really short on numbers, really short, but it's definitely not an excuse. The girls know we should have won that game, I know we should have won that game. We just didn't play our best soccer. We dropped down to a little below our level and made it an even playing field."
Gogolen said wind had a lot to do with where play concentrated in both halves. Summit controlled the game in the first half, but Eagle Valley maintained possession in the second.
Eagle Valley's first goal came from a fast break up the middle, a goal Gogolen said should never have happened.
Meanwhile, Rachel Fitch scored Summit's two goals off of free kicks.
With low numbers, Summit dogged it in the second half, and Eagle Valley capitalized on the loss of momentum.
"(In the second overtime), they had the momentum. They were just feeling it. Their energy level was a little better. They also played last night, so it was an even playing field. They just outplayed us toward the end," Gogolen said.
Summit next faces Battle Mountain on March 14. Eagle Valley lost, 10-2, to the Huskies on Thursday.

News 12 at 6 o'clock, Wednesday October 6, 2010
AUGUSTA, Ga.---Kids fighting cancer and blood disorders often turn to Children's Medical Center at MCG and Wednesday that center is showing off a big makeover.
The Pediatric Cancer and Blood Disorder Clinic used to be called "The Cave," but not anymore.
The old clinic was described as dark and gloomy, not exactly where you might want to be fighting cancer, but now the patients and their families call the new clinic a home away from home.
Welcome to the new Pediatric Cancer and Blood Disorder Clinic.
"It's absolutely a family here, absolutely because you have something in common...which is cancer but it's not going to beat you down," says Christine Wilkie, her 9-year-old son Gabe is fighting Nueroblastoma.
It's where children like 16-year old Taylor Bedicheck come to get chemo. "They say that my tumor has shrunk 60 percent since I started," says Taylor, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma on her first day of 11th grade at Hephzibah High School.
"All the moms and families here can vouch for it, when this happens nothing in your life is the same anymore," adds Taylor's mom Suzanne Bedicheck.
Dr. Roger Vega has been waiting for a clinic face-lift for years. "It was dark and gloomy. I didn't believe it was conducive to being in a healing environment," says Dr. Vega, the Chief of Pediatric, Hematology and Oncology at The Children's Medical Center.
Now with state of the art features and a couple new coats of paint, it's better than ever.
"I love the new renovation, they've added a ton of color and a lot of light," says Christine.
"I usually bring my ipod and all and I'm usually texting and I'll bring DVD's for the DVD player," says Taylor.
And with hours and hours of treatment a day, it's definitely the little things that matter to these families.
"They each get their own TV so they can watch their own movie, their own TV show," adds Christine.
"I like it a lot, it's really comfy," says Taylor.
For the patients, like 9-year old Gabe Wilkie, it's just another day in a long fight. "He's a very tough little kid. All of the children here are tough. It's amazing. He teaches me a lot," Christine says about her son.
"I told her, I said, Margaret this is a battle we're having to fight and it's not going to be easy and it's not going to be fun but we'll win," says Jenifer Beckum, her 14-year old daughter Margaret was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in July.
"If you don't have a smile on your face you ain't gonna go anywhere," says Margaret.
Parents and patients helped to pick out the colors and decorate the new clinic. The renovation cost $1.2 million dollars, and was 100% funded with community donations.

An alarming increase in violent gang activity prompted law-enforcement officials from federal, state and local agencies to join forces in a sting operation dubbed Operation Family Feud, resulting in multiple arrests and weapons seizures Wednesday morning.
Warrants were served in 11 locations – including 10 in Stockton and one in Lathrop, police said. The total number of arrests was not available at 9:15 a.m. Wednesday.
The Stockton Police Department, San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office, Manteca Police Department, Lodi Police Department, California Highway Patrol, F.B.I.,U.S. Marshal's Office, State Department of Justice and the Parole and Corrections team all collaborated in the sting.
"Since 2011, we've seen an increase in violence involving the Norteno criminal street gang," said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department. "These gangs have been directly involved with or responsible for many crimes in the city. In June of this year, we launched an operation which was called Operation Family Feud because we've seen the Norteno street gangs mostly targeting each other in their criminal activities."

Definition of trachea in English:
noun (plural tracheae /-kēˌē/ or tracheas)Anatomy
1A large membranous tube reinforced by rings of cartilage, extending from the larynx to the bronchial tubes and conveying air to and from the lungs; the windpipe.
Example sentences
- The conducting portion of the respiratory system includes the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi.
- If symptoms aren't improving in that time, see your doctor to make sure you don't have a bacterial infection in your lungs, larynx, trachea, sinuses or ears.
- The larynx, trachea, and bronchi exhibited extensive squamous metaplasia of the mucosa with reactive atypia.
1.1 Entomology Each of a number of fine chitinous tubes in the body of an insect, conveying air directly to the tissues.
Example sentences
- Breathing is by special gas exchange organs along the side of the body called tracheae and malpighian tubules.
- This was a pretty far out idea, since blood-based gas exchange is what other arthropods use (including aquatic ones) but was previously thought to be completely absent in insects, which deliver air directly to their tissues via tracheae.
- Although tracheae appear to be compressed synchronously, the shape and direction of compression varies within local tracheal segments, and to a lesser extent, between beetles.
1.2 Botany Any duct or vessel in a plant, providing support and conveying water and salts.
Example sentences
- The formation of nodules of vascular tissue has been described as consisting of tracheas and islands of sieve elements in callus tissue grown in vitro.
- Example sentences
- The receptors have long fused rhabdoms and are surrounded by a tracheal tapetum.
- The aquatic larvae or nymphs possess respiratory abdominal tracheal gills.
- The air sacs leading into and out of the lungs hold a large volume of fresh air, so in general, the respiratory costs of tracheal elongation are probably not high.
- Example sentences
- Myriapods have been traditionally considered the closest relatives of hexapods, thus implying only one origin of terrestriality for the tracheate lineage, but this view is now challenged by molecular evidence.
- The insects are tracheate.
- Insects are tracheate arthropods and employ direct transfer of respiratory gases to and from their sites of use and generation via the tracheal system.

SAN JOSE -- To better understand how a Sharks team that looked lost on the ice for much of the season became the first NHL franchise to reach the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, go back to mid-March.
General manager Doug Wilson, who does not usually tip his hand before making any moves, let it be known that he was taking an unconventional approach to the NHL's April 3 trade deadline.
"We're both buyers and sellers," he said. And he had a phrase for the moves he was about to make that fit his team's Silicon Valley home: "Refresh and reset."
It was his way of indicating trades that would send veterans Ryane Clowe to the New York Rangers, Douglas Murray to the Pittsburgh Penguins and Michal Handzus to the Chicago Blackhawks for draft picks were not a sign he was giving up on the season, even if it appeared that way from a distance.
The buying followed -- first Scott Hannan from the Nashville Predators as insurance for the blue line, then Raffi Torres from the Phoenix Coyotes just minutes before the noon cutoff point.
The transactions had the desired impact. San Jose qualified for the playoffs after a 12-3-1 run, completed a historic first-round sweep of Vancouver and will learn Sunday night whether they will next face the Chicago Blackhawks or Los Angeles Kings.
The key to the turnaround: speed.
"It's like anything. If you're faster, you're a fraction ahead," Coach Todd McLellan said. "There's more of a tempo to our game right now. It's not always how fast you can skate. It's placing pucks in the right area, it's passing and execution, it's believing you can get it done that makes you a little bit quicker."
Patrick Marleau, 33, seconds the notion that speed isn't about racing up and down the rink.
"You line guys up on a blue line and blow a whistle, everybody's going to be pretty close," he said. "Obviously, one thing is moving your legs, but you've got to have the puck with you as well. When our passing is on, that's when we look fast and that's when we play fast."
Business considerations were key to trading Clowe, Murray and Handzus, all of whom become unrestricted free agents on July 1. But the three were also among the slower Sharks on the ice. Not that they didn't contribute other ways, but when it came to speed, their departure was addition by subtraction.
Still, there was more to it than that.
Torres's reputation was limited to his hard-hitting, occasionally dirty, style of play, yet he also flies up and down the ice. And that has rubbed off on his new teammates.
"Without a doubt," said forward Tommy Wingels, a linemate of Torres's until the injury to Marty Havlat forced McLellan to rearrange things. "When you see someone else doing it who's very eager to get in there on the forecheck and then play the body and then create a turnover, it's contagious."
Ultimately, the Sharks simply now are more suited to the "north-south" approach to hockey — think of one goal as north, the other as south -- that the organization prized. Less zigzagging down the ice, less slowing things down.
The March 25 trade that sent Murray to Pittsburgh was the first of Wilson's moves and it had an impact in the locker room, as well as on the ice, where San Jose beat Anaheim 5-3 that same night. "We were in a position where we were probably a few games away from a blowup," defenseman Dan Boyle said. "Some of us, myself included, it's just not a comfortable situation to be in and maybe it just kind of brought the team together."
Though the Sharks' core remains intact, the team has a noticeably different look and feel.
"I don't know whether it's because Clowe is gone and Murray is gone and Burns is up front, but there's a freshness about them," Ray Ferraro, a former NHL player and current TV analyst, said. "And you haven't been able to say that about San Jose in a long time."

County postpones Walmart grocery hearing
Published: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 1:22 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 1:22 p.m.
Sarasota County commissioners postponed a public hearing Wednesday on Walmart's proposal to build a grocery store on Bee Ridge Road because Commission Chairwoman Carolyn Mason was out sick.
Commissioners said they were concerned about the potential for a tie vote on Walmart's rezoning proposal with one of the five board members absent.
About 40 people who attended the hearing were told to return for the rescheduled hearing April 24. Walmart is seeking to change the site's zoning from office and other lower intensity uses to a commercial general designation.
Commissioner Charles Hines apologized for the "abrupt change.
"But this is a unique circumstance," he said.
A few people who live near the four-acre parcel Walmart wants to rezone at Bee Ridge and Beneva roads decided to voice their concerns anyway.
"This is a bad spot for more traffic," said Richard Moran.
Sharon Whalen gave commissioners a petition with 318 signatures from residents opposing the 41,180-square-foot Neighborhood Market.
"We don't want to see our neighborhood slowly dissolve into nothing but commercial properties," she said.
Walmart Spokesman Bill Wertz said in an email Tuesday that the grocery store will provide 90 jobs and "meet the needs of area customers, giving them convenience and more affordable grocery options."

Adding Billions to the Debt
Published: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 12:03 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 12:03 a.m.
Congress is again faced with the problem of the national debt. The money must be provided to pay for what the Congress has already passed.
The main argument has to do with where the money would come from. Some want new taxes. Some want it to come from cuts in government programs. Congress could find the money needed if they would stop the practice of passing bills with all kinds of amendments attached. Many of these amendments add billions to the debt. In most cases the amendments are not germane to the bills.
They should have to have a vote for each one of the amendments. That way I could know that my congressman voted to give a special break to a certain business.
The recent fiscal cliff tax package had $78 billion in tax breaks to individuals and businesses. Would your lawmaker have voted in a separate bill for each one of these tax breaks?
We might be able to get along without a tax increase if we changed the way amendments are handled.

Next Week's Tape: Jobs Report Caps Heavy Dose of Data
By Kathleen Madigan and Ben Fox Rubin
The always-in-spotlight employment report will have to share some of the financial markets' attention next week. The packed calendar has important reports scheduled every day of the week.
According to a survey of economists compiled by Dow Jones Newswires, the numbers should show business activity in January wasn't much different than the pace seen in December.
Take job growth as detailed in the employment report next Friday. Economists expect nonfarm payrolls increased by 168,000 this month, only a bit faster than the 155,000 gain in December. The jobless rate is forecast to remain at 7.8%.
Also on Friday will be the factory survey done by the Institute for Supply Management. The median forecast calls for the purchasing managers' index to come in 51.0 in January, little changed from 50.7 in December and indicating a factory sector stuck in neutral.
Another January number will be consumer confidence, scheduled for release Tuesday. The index is expected to stand at 64.8, not much different from 65.1 in December.
The first look at fourth-quarter gross domestic product will be reported Wednesday, and it's expected to look quite weak.
The median forecast thinks real GDP grew at an annual rate of just 1.0%, down sharply from 3.1% in the third quarter. Slower inventory growth, defense cutbacks, and a wider net export deficit probably dragged down growth.
One economic indicator projected for a big gain will be December personal income, scheduled for Thursday. Income is expected to jump 0.8% in December. But the gain mainly reflects bonus payments and dividends paid out earlier than usual so that recipients could avoid the higher tax rates of 2013.
As earnings season continues, a big set of technology and energy companies are scheduled to report results. Additionally, several data reports, including the always important jobs numbers, are expected, along with an initial public offering from Zoetis Inc.
A handful of big technology companies are expected to report earnings next week, with Amazon.com (AMZN) scheduled for Tuesday and Facebook (FB) for Wednesday.
Amazon's shares took a hit three months ago after the Internet retail giant posted its first quarterly loss in nearly a decade, as its aggressive and expensive expansion plans kept weighing down results. Revenue should continue rising, but the bottom line is expected to be weak again.
Meanwhile, Facebook's stock has been gaining ground since November amid some encouraging data on its progress to make money from its mobile phone app. Still, the social site's stock remains below its May initial public offering price of $38 a share. Growth in mobile is sure to take center stage again for the
upcoming quarterly release.
Other tech companies weighing in next week are Yahoo (YHOO) Seagate Technology (STX) Broadcom (BRCM) Qualcomm (QCOM) and EMC (EMC).
Several major coal, oil and gas companies are slated to report quarterly results, with Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) rounding out the week with its report on Friday.
While the entire oil industry has suffered from unstable prices for crude and natural gas in recent quarters, Exxon's production woes underscore how challenging it is for the biggest oil companies to grow production in a meaningful way despite massive investments. The Texas oil giant's profit in the third quarter declined as its production slid to the lowest level in three years. Earnings are expected to improve this time around.
Additionally ConocoPhillips (COP) Marathon Petroleum (MPC) Murphy Oil (MUR) Occidental Petroleum (OXY) National Oilwell Varco (NOV) Hess (HES) Peabody Energy (BTU) and Consol Energy (CNX) will be reporting.
More major names will be reporting throughout a busy week for equities. They include Boeing (BA) Ford Motor (F) United Parcel Service (UPS) Caterpillar (CAT) Aetna (AET) Nasdaq OMX Group (NDAQ), and Pfizer (PFE).

Fat cat 'Skinny' drops weight, down to 37 pounds
Published: Monday, November 5, 2012 at 1:56 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 5, 2012 at 1:56 p.m.
DALLAS (AP) — An overweight stray cat found nearly two months ago in North Texas has slimmed down to 37 pounds but is still too fat to be adopted.
A Dallas veterinarian on Monday said Skinny seems healthy, is on special food and gets exercise.
Dr. Brittney Barton says Skinny, who topped out at about 41 pounds, probably needs to reach 30 pounds before being considered for adoption.
The orange tabby was discovered Sept. 13 in Richardson. The creature was dubbed Skinny by shelter officials, who at first said the cat was male, then female.
Skinny was taken to East Lake Pet Orphanage, where Barton determined he's a neutered male. Barton says Skinny didn't tolerate much handling due to muscle soreness associated with his size so it was difficult to confirm his gender.

Tech Tip 09
Low Neutral Voltages Reduce Stray Voltage Problems
- Farm Animals Acting Like They Are Shocked From Stanchions or Water Fountains.
- Shocks While Touching Metal Objects.
- Shock Sensations in Swimming Pools.
- High Resistance Neutral Connections.
- Customer Wiring or Equipment Problems.
- High Neutral Currents.
- High Resistance Grounds.
- Repair Neutral Connections.
- Correct Wiring and Equipment Problems.
- Reduce Neutral Current.
- Lower Resistance to Ground.
Electrically grounded equipment normally has a small voltage with respect to earth even with proper wiring and grounding. Sometimes the voltage is high enough to cause shock sensations for animals and people. This only occurs when the animal or person becomes part of an electrical path between the grounded object and "remote" earth.
Outdoor electric distribution systems typically use neutral wires that are grounded, connected to the earth, in many locations. The many connections to earth allow some neutral current to flow through the earth instead of the neutral wire. This causes a voltage difference between the neutral and "remote" earth a few feet away. Neutral to Earth Voltage, or NEV, appears at pole grounds and customers' main panels. Some voltage appears at grounded equipment because equipment grounding wires are bonded to the neutral in the main panel. Figure 1 shows a voltmeter measuring NEV and the electrical path to an animal.
An animal touching the earth and an electrically grounded object will have some of the voltage across their body when they touch it. The voltage across the animal is an example of Stray Voltage. Just one volt may cause a slight shock sensation for animals and people in certain situations.
Stray Voltage can make farm animals reluctant to drink from grounded water fountains. Dairy production may be affected if cattle feel shocks from metal stanchions at milking time. People may feel a shock if they touch a metal object while also touching wet concrete, soil, or other metal objects. Swimming pools and water lines are two examples.
Figure 1: Neutral and Ground Path
It is desirable to keep NEV below perception levels when practical. Stray Voltages above one volt should be reduced especially when it causes problems. Two to four volts of NEV should be reduced where practical. Urgency to reduce the voltage increases rapidly with higher voltages.
High resistance neutral connections can cause high NEV and should be replaced. A clamp-on amp meter will show if current is not flowing through poor connections. A digital volt meter directly across connections or adjacent pole grounds is another good way to detect bad connections.
Phase current balance is important. Balanced circuits have less neutral current. Lower neutral current means lower NEV. This works on three phase and on single phase circuits. Converting 120 volt single phase loads to 240 volts help reduce NEV caused by secondary neutral current.
Additional ground rods reduce NEV by lowering the net resistance to neutral currents. Customer wiring problems and equipment grounding errors are also important factors. Even wiring problems or short circuits on nearby customers can cause problems.
NEV and stray voltage problems can be difficult to identify, diagnose and solve. Additional information, USDA Handbook 696 for example, is available. Consult with Technical Services for help preventing, identifying and solving stray voltage problems.
The information and diagrams presented herein are for general educational purposes only, and should not be relied upon as instructions for customer self-wiring. Customers should at all times seek the assistance of qualified electricians or utility personnel for all wiring projects.

Lyft, the car-sharing business vying with Uber Technologies for customers hailing rides with smartphones, agreed to further delay its start in New York City, thwarting city and state officials' bid for a restraining order against the company.
A state court judge Monday didn't issue the order as requested by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman after Lyft's lawyers said the service won't start until the 'i's are dotted and 't's are crossed.''
"I'm extending what is essentially a status quo," Justice Kathryn Freed in Manhattan said at the conclusion of Monday's hearing.
San Francisco-based Lyft hasn't complied with state and local regulations, including insurance laws, state officials argued in a complaint filed July 11. Lyft filed its own suit against the officials, seeking to block a subpoena for operational documents.
Lyft doesn't require drivers to hold commercial licenses, conduct vehicle safety inspections or take defensive-driving courses, the state officials claimed. The company also doesn't conduct drug tests on drivers, state officials said.
Lyft has a "shoot first, ask questions later, attitude," Jane Azia, chief of the Bureau of Consumer Frauds and Protection, said at Monday's hearing.
The attorney general is engaging in a "smear campaign to shut down this business before it even starts operating" in New York City, Martin Jackson, a lawyer for Lyft, told the judge.
Lyft has agreed to use only licensed drivers and vehicles, the way the taxi licensing commission and the city should want, said Alan Sclar, another of Lyft's lawyers.
Lyft said on July 9 that it would start offering services in New York with 500 drivers, bringing more competition to Uber, which was valued at $17 billion in its latest financing round. Lyft started operating in two other New York cities, Buffalo and Rochester, on April 24, without approval or authorization, according to the state's complaint.
The complaint was also filed by the office of Benjamin Lawsky, superintendent of the New York Department of Financial Services whose office regulates insurers in the state.

Hell-bent on a kidney drug
24.04.2012 - AstraZeneca offers Ardea Biosciences' stock owners in total $1.26bn. A successful merger would add a kidney drug to its portfolio.
Stockholm – Swedish-British pharma giant AstraZeneca plc wants to buy Californian biotech company Ardea Biosciences Inc. On April 23, the companies entered into a definitive merger agreement. According to AstraZeneca's offer, Ardea stock owners would receive $32 for each share certificate – a 54% increase when compared with last Friday's closing call. This means a total cash value of $1.26bn. The transaction will be accomplished in Q2 or Q3. Ardea's Board has recommended its stock owners to approve the deal.
Ardea, from San Diego, is a specialist in small-molecule therapeutics. AstraZeneca is especially keen on an Ardea development currently in Phase III – the inhibitor of the URAT1 transporter lesinurad (RDEA594). It is a remedy against hyperuricaemia in patients with gout. In the ongoing clinical trials, lesinurad is tested for its potential as add-on treatment to both allopurinol and febuxostat – plus as monotherapy for patients intolerant to these two off-the-shelf drugs. However, the filings for a New Drug Application in the US and a Marketing Authorisation Application in the EU are only planned for the first half of 2014.
Lesinurad is a first-in-class selective inhibitor of URAT1, a uric acid transporter in the proximal tubules of the kidney. In exchange for anions, URAT1 transports uric acid molecules back into the blood. Inhibiting the transporter leads to reduced reabsorption and alleviated hyperuricaemiahttp://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-02/hell-bent-on-a-kidney-drug-merger.html

In Their Own Words – When Going Downhill is a Good Thing…
This "In Their Own Words" is by Suzanne Lanthier, the Executive Director for Autism Speaks Canada.
When you live in Canada, there are a few things that are a 'safe bet'. First, any news about hockey will make the first page of our national newspaper (case in point last June when the front page story of the Globe and Mail showcased the winners of the Stanley Cup – which incidentally was side by side with the latest findings in autism genetics research .. the closest Dr. Steven Scherer will ever get to a Stanley Cup!!).
Second safe bet – there will be snow.
This past weekend, Toronto got its first real winter snowfall. My 11-year old son, Scotty, loves the snow. He is mesmerized by the sight of flakes reflecting in the streetlights and can sit and watch this wonder of nature for hours. I keep telling him that if he was out there shoveling it with me, he wouldn't think it was so fantastic but I'll let him have his fun… for now.
Scotty's autism coupled with his clubfoot makes skating really difficult and painful. His grasp of the rules surrounding team sports is limited at best, so hockey is not an activity that I have pushed too hard. But he's a Canadian and with that comes the need to find an outdoor winter activity that he can embrace. Tobogganing or sledding was something up until a few years ago Scotty quite enjoyed. Until, that is, we had "crash day" – which really just amounted to a minor collision with another younger boy on our local sledding hill. But with "crash day," Scotty's love of tobogganing all came to a crashing halt.
From that moment on, anytime tobogganing was mentioned it was met with significant anxiety and "no sled, no sled, no sled, no crash, no crash, no crash" – red face, panic look, heart racing – you get the picture. He still really liked going to the hill and watching the other kids go down the hill and he especially enjoyed pushing his mother down on the sled (oh my aching you-know-what!!), but to get him to go down was a lost cause. Every once in a while, he'd sit on the "boat" – his word for the sled – but that was about all I could get out of him. The slightest move forward was met with him springing off the sled faster than a slapshot coming off of Crosby's stick.
Until, that is, this past Sunday. We gave it another shot. It was late – about 5 PM – so only a few die-hards left on the hill. I put the "boat" at the top of the smallest incline and waited. It was a spectacular evening – clear, calm, not too cold. The moon (another of Scotty's favourite things to gaze at in the sky) was out and a beautiful crescent shape. He climbed in and sat down. He saw some kids at the bottom of the hill and promptly rolled out with the same "no crash, no sled" that I've heard before. "Oh well, guess its not going to happen" I thought. So I sat and waited for him to push me down as per our usual routine.
Instead, after a few minutes, he got in the "boat" and said "just mom and Scotty" and down we went. It's hard to know how to react sometimes. Do I cheer and make a big deal about it or just act 'natural?' I went with playing it cool. "OK," I said, "let's do it again." And we did – again and again and again.
Scotty is an observer, and he could see that the other kids were going down on their own. So just when I was about to call it a night, he looked up at me from the "boat" and said "just Scotty." Really?? I made him repeat it a few times until the tone of his voice pretty much said "Listen lady, I'm ready to go down on my own .. don't make me think about it anymore or I won't."
So, down he went – just Scotty – on his own. I admit that I didn't play it cool after that. I cheered like he scored the overtime goal in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup playoffs. He may as well have.
After a few more runs with "just Scotty" it was really getting dark and we were the only ones left on the hill. We both could have stayed all night but I had to be the 'mom' and call it a night.
We went back on Monday night. I got to go down once with him – just once. I may have to buy my own "boat."

That is beautiful. I act the same way when my 5yr old, who has high func autism, does little things that i think others take for granted with their kids. Good luck and god bless.
January 15, 2011 at 12:41 pm
This was wonderful. Go Scotty (and Mom)!!!!!!!!!
January 15, 2011 at 2:06 pm
Why would we want a cure. We are all gifted and not ill just missunderstood
Autism like most so called illness of the mind are gifts that hold the keys
January 16, 2011 at 10:31 am
Those are fighting words Lanthier! Future generation Scherer (and/or Wise) progeny will someday bring the Cup back to Toronto.
Seriously, I enjoyed reading your posting and am glad that Scotty got back on his proverbial bike (or boat/toboggan). Canada is in greater need of next-generation Olympic bobsledders/lugers than hockey players, so keep him going!
Steve Scherer (having just returned from a 7:00AM Sunday morning hockey practice)
January 18, 2011 at 10:55 am
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful story…can't believe how big he's getting…remember him just being a little guy.
January 19, 2011 at 9:26 am
Scotty's the man!We are so proud of him…too bad we are so far away, cuz his cousin would be right there with him! great writing Suzanne…

A woman accused of killing two men in a Carthage home has died.
Dawn McFadden's aggravated murder trial was to begin Monday in the deaths of Corey Coleman, 42, and Laroy Coleman, 21. Both were shot to death in October 2011.
But a judge ordered a clinical evaluation of McFadden, and the trial was delayed.
The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office said that later Monday, McFadden was taken from the Hamilton County Justice Center to University Hospital for treatment of what appeared to be an overdose of over-the-counter medication.
McFadden died early Wednesday, the sheriff's office said.
The incident remains under investigation.
