Irving's explanations for his errors
13.145 In the course of his cross-examination Irving was asked on numerous occasions to provide explanations for what he had written or said. Thus he was asked why he had omitted to make reference to apparently significant events; why he had relied on sources whose reliability there was good reason to doubt; what was the source of evidence for particular assertions. It seems to me that one way of testing whether Irving's errors were the product of innocent mistakes on his part is to look at his explanations.
13.146 In his answers Irving offered various explanations for his omission of apparently significant evidence. He gave as the reason why he did not refer to the evidence of Hofmann when dealing with the trial of Hitler in 1924 that it was too long to be included. But the records of Hofmann's testimony ran to no more than five pages. He sought to excuse his omission to include in his account of the shooting of Berlin Jews in Riga the claim made by Bruns that there had been a Hitler order by saying that it "would bore the pants off an audience". Asked to explain why he omitted to refer in the 1991 edition of Hitler's War to the sinister fate awaiting the 600,000 French Jews who were not well-to-do and so not to kept healthy and alive, Irving answered that the 1991 edition was an abridged version and the omission had to be made for editorial reasons. His explanation for not informing his readers of the reasons for supposing that the Schlegelberger note may have been concerned with the problem of the mischlinge was that he was writing a book which had to be kept within the confines of a single volume. Irving gave a similar explanation for his suppression (as the Defendants claim that it was) of material parts of Goebbels's diary entry of 27 March1942. Irving excused his inability to answers certain questions about Auschwitz (for example about cremations there and his reason for not having visited Auschwitz) by saying that he is not an expert on Auschwitz. Irving balmed his editor for the retention of his mistranslation of haben zu bleiben as "Jews are to stay" after he had been informed of his error. When he was asked to identify the eye-witness who told him about the telephone box-cum-gas chamber story, Irving replied that he could not recall but that he read about it or seen it some ten years ago. Earlier in this judgment I have cited other examples of Irving's explanations for his lapses.
13.147 I recognise that it is not always easy for Irving to cast his mind back over the years so as to explain why and how his mistakes were made. In my view, however, in many instances, including those set out in the preceding paragraph, the explanations which he offered were unconvincing. The absence of credible explanations lends further support to the Defendants' argument that Irving's misrepresentation of the historical record was not inadvertent.

7 Winter Diet Tips Nutritionists Swear By
Prevent unwanted padding this season with the diet tips experts rely on to save their own waistlines
Over the winter, most of us will gain anywhere from 1 to 5 pounds of weight, according to a study in "The New England Journal of Medicine." Instead of losing that bulk by bikini season (we know, you have the best intentions), research has found that winter weight tends to stick around for good and the pounds just keep piling up each year. Before you know it, those yummy muffins -- the ones you love to bake on snow days -- turn into an all-season muffin top. No one needs that kind of armor. With these diet tips, you can break the cycle of winter "expansion."
Skip ahead to see the 7 winter diet tips nutritionists swear by now.
By the way, these are not just the usual diet tips. We pumped top nutritionists for the tricks they personally rely on to avoid packing on winter pounds. Get the inside scoop on how these peeps with degrees in healthy eating handle comfort-food cravings and feel full without getting too many calories. You'll want to pounce on these trade secrets. After all, you won't be able to hide beneath that puffy jacket for much longer.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - Truckee football fans had seen this before - their team on the brink of elimination, just one win away from another state championship appearance.
The Wolverines did not let their faithful down a year ago, when they eked out a narrow comeback win over Fallon to earn a fourth consecutive state title berth. They did not let them down Saturday.
On a chilly day complete with occasional snow flurries, Truckee dialed up its intensity late in its state semifinal against visiting Cheyenne, forcing three fumbles in the fourth quarter and scoring 13 unanswered points to turn an 18-13 deficit into a 26-18 win.
"I think we kept everybody here," said Truckee head coach Bob Shaffer, speaking of the overflowing crowd packed into a snowy Surprise Stadium. "I don't think anyone left."
The comeback victory sends the Wolverines to their fifth straight Division I-A state championship, and a fifth consecutive state title showdown against Southern Nevada nemesis Moapa Valley. Truckee has won state the past three years, losing only one game along the way.
"I'm proud of the young men who made this happen," Shaffer said. "That was a good, athletic football team. But the kids and coaching staff, after making some adjustments, persevered and came through in the end. I thought we bent at times but didn't break. We only allowed the one big play."
The game was a barnburner from the start as the DI-A powers - Truckee an 11-time state champion, Cheyenne a Division I playoff team just a year ago - swapped leads on four occasions.
After an evenly matched first half that ended in a 13-12 Truckee advantage, the Desert Shields briefly seized the momentum late in the third quarter when senior running back Myloe Lewis ran into a pack of Wolverine defenders and somehow broke free for a 52-yard touchdown, giving the visitors a five-point edge entering the fourth quarter.
But the Wolverines refused to go down without a fight.
They forced Lewis into a fumble and recovered it at the Cheyenne 40-yard line, then scored 11 plays later when Jake Pettit punched the ball across the goal line from 4 yards out. With 6 minutes left in the game, Truckee had regained the lead, 20-18, after Louden Smith kicked through the PAT.
Four plays into Cheyenne's ensuing possession, Graham Christian applied a hit to Lewis that jarred the ball loose again, and senior quarterback and linebacker Erik Holmer picked it up and returned it 30 yards to the house, outrunning the pursuing Gale Pierce.
The extra point sailed wide left, leaving Truckee up by eight points with 4:21 left in the game.
Truckee put the skids on Cheyenne's comeback hopes four plays into its next drive when it forced quarterback Darrion Hammond into another fumble that Truckee recovered.
"It was a good game. We had our opportunities," said Cheyenne head coach David Cochran. "When you turn the ball over in this environment, it will hurt you every time. They capitalized on our mistakes. I give them credit. They've got a good culture here, and I wish them the best of luck."
The Desert Shields had one final chance after a Truckee three-and-out, starting at their own 23-yard line with 1:31 on the clock. But the prolific running team was forced to air it out, and Jake Pettit intercepted a deep pass by Hammond six plays into the drive to seal the Truckee win.
"That was definitely a team victory. We needed everybody on that," said Holmer, who finished 15-of-26 passing for 180 yards, with two interceptions and one touchdown. "I'm so emotionally exhausted. It was a fight for four quarters. They're the best team we've played all year. But we came through at the end."
"It's one of those things we always talk about that's kind of cliche, that you've gotta play four quarters," Shaffer said. "I thought it was a pretty even battle for three quarters, and then in the fourth quarter our kids found a little something extra in the reserve tank, dug a little deeper and responded with some big plays. The seniors didn't want to end the season here."
Holmer carried the Wolverines offensively with his arm and his legs, as he rushed for a team-high 71 yards on 18 attempts. He also helped pick up several big first downs with his play-making ability, including two crucial fourth-down conversions on Truckee's final go-ahead drive, both on completions to Adam Morgan.
"Their QB is pretty crafty," Cochran said. "He's their stud. He made plays. We tried to contain him, but you can only hold a kid like that back for so long."
Lewis was the workhorse for the Desert Shields, running the ball 36 times for 186 yards, with three touchdowns. The Wolverines, however, who pride themselves on their defense, managed to hold the senior to only the one big play late in the third.
The Wolverines opened the game with momentum on their side after Smith's short kickoff was mishandled, and Truckee's Javier Virrey recovered. Given a short field, Truckee marched 29 yards in five plays, capped by a 1-yard touchdown run by Tyler Curtis.
Cheyenne had an answer. The visitors proceeded to drive 62 yards on 11 plays, aided by a personal foul on Truckee, before Lewis found the end zone from the 1-inch line. All three of the Desert Shields' two-point conversions in the game failed, leaving them trailing 7-6 after their first score.
Cheyenne then forced a Truckee three-and-out before driving down the field again behind the running of Lewis, who steadily gained moderate chunks of yardage. Lewis scored from 3 yards out to end the 63-yard drive, which adjusted the score to 12-7, Cheyenne.
After Holmer was intercepted in the end zone by Martel Evans - the junior had both of Cheyenne's picks in the game - Truckee regained possession deep in Cheyenne territory following a poor snap on a punt attempt. Holmer then connected with Morgan on an 18-yard touchdown pass. The Desert Shields blocked the extra point as Truckee took a 13-12 lead into the half.
The Wolverines were never able to establish a consistent running game against the large Cheyenne defense. They finished with just 66 rushing yards on 30 attempts.
"Their D was pretty stout today," Holmer said. "We knew coming in that they were going to be good. But we found holes and made the big plays when we needed them."
Truckee improved to 10-1 with the win. Cheyenne finished 9-3 overall in its first year in the Division I-A.
Truckee and Moapa Valley, which defeated Lowry 43-0 in the other semifinal Saturday, will meet in the state championship Saturday, Nov. 17, at Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas. Kickoff is 6 p.m.

All Good Things Must Come to an End: Top Chef All-Stars FinalePosted in Atlanta, TV on March 31st, 2011 by Betsy – 2 Comments
As you know, I love all things culinary and all things reality TV, so Bravo's Top Chef is the perfect combination for me. Last night's finale of Top Chef All-Stars involved a show down between Washington D.C.'s Mike Isabella and Atlanta's Richard Blais. My adult life flashed before my eyes as my two cities battled it out! Who was I rooting for? Well, Mike Isabella hasn't done himself any favors in the personality category (even once he and Antonia established their 'cousin' bond) and since Richard and I are basically BFF (ok, I've met him three times), I had to cheer for the home team. ATL!
Both Mike and Richard produced amazing 4-course dinners with the help of their sous-chefs (former All-Star conestants). I was particularly pleased by the 'simplicity' and elegance of this challenge, as I felt that most of this season involved buffet-style/too casual meals, involving crock pots, nachos, and comfort food, so I was happy to see these two really produce their most quality food.
Richard's mind games almost got the best of him, but he made the right decision to re-work the foie gras ice cream (yuck) for round two of judging. (Thank you, Spike!) I'm psyched to see how Richard will put his 200 G's to work, and happy to be in Atlanta so I can experience it for myself.
If you enjoy Top Chef, and all of its quirkiness, you must check out Jon Watson's Top Chef Finale Recap. He puts into words everything you're thinking while watching the show. After reading Watson's recap, I'm just sorry I didn't watch the after show. (I'm sure it will be on Bravo ten times this weekend.)
What a week! Top Chef finale AND the NCAA Final Four. A-Mazing.

This August's USA Pro Cycling Challenge individual time trial on the final day will begin and finish at Denver's Civic Center Park, the race announced Wednesday.
The routes of the seven-day, 680-mile stage race were announced, with the biggest news coming in the form of the final 9.5-mile time trial and one wrinkle on Stage 6 from Golden to Boulder.
"There's a lot of highlights in this year's race," race CEO Shawn Hunter said. "It's 150 miles longer, there are three uphill finishes, we've got the time trial and the way the stages lay out, it's possible you'll see the yellow jersey change hands almost every day. That was our main goal."
Unlike last year, when the final day was a stage race from Golden to Denver, this year's last day on Aug. 26 will be an individual time trial to keep the outcome up for grabs. From Civic Center Park near the State Capitol Building, the riders will take an up and back route along Speer Boulevard and Colfax Avenue similar to last year with a detour down Larimer Street.

I'll try to keep the history short, but with enough detail to be complete.
I ran in college, then did triathlon and marathons (3:00 PR) until adult life had me sitting at a desk and in the car for a long commute for a number of years. I admit to not doing regular stretching, like ever! When I decided to start running again, the first pain was at the bottom of my calves, and then it moved down to the heel where the Achilles attaches. So I'd back off, pain would decrease.
If I go slow, like 9:30 min/mile, I'm good. But if I surge to beat a light, or up he pace, the pain is back. I was fine during 2 half ironman events this year, since the pace is slow but even managed 8:20 pace in a 10k during an Olympic distance event.
This last Monday at Crossfit, we did 400m repeats and I knew I would be screwed. I did them all at 1:28, and on the third one I felt tightening. On the fourth, the last one, I pushed and moved into third place. 40m from the end, I felt the familiar *pop*, and just finished (in third). Gentle stretching etc and its only mildly tender at this point. It happens on both sides, but mostly the left.
The question is how to strengthen it while stretching so I can start improving w/o risking set backs. I'm 45, so no visions of setting PRs, but don't want to fade into a dreaded "jogger".
Wow, I just saw that the only time I've posted here was in 2008 with the same problem. I'd say that officially makes it "chronic"
This is the best advice I've found.
There are a several sources for this information online, some more comprehensive than this, including some youtube videos. Google eccentric treatment for achilles.
Not sure if it really is "chronic." Looking back at your 2008 post, it followed another period of prolonged sitting, this time in a car. I've noticed a tendency among those with sit-down jobs, such as drivers and desk jockeys (among whom I have been numbered at times), to make up for lost time with an aggressive training regimen during me-time.
There really is no lost time, because sit-down jobs are a form of training as well. They train the muscles to be immobile for prolonged periods of time, to be short, to be stiff. Combine that with endurance running, and a layer of cross-fit with more vigorous activity, and it's too much conflicting use of muscle. Something's gotta give.
If you were a professional athlete, this might be your breaking point - but still, it would be your job, and rehab is part of that job. Being a middle-aged endurance buff with a job and a life, and less time for proactive training, you need to resist the urge to cram. You need to find a way to fit all these pieces together in a less destructive way.
The article on eccentric exercise techniques for loosening the posterior calf muscle/tendon group is helpful, but the hidden message is that gentle and consistent use of this group is much healthier than letting it sit and stiffen up. Maybe you can put a step under your desk for frequent use, to counteract the sedentary job. I've often said that after doing well in school, they punish you with a desk job. It is very bad for you unless you can keep moving somehow.
Amidst all this, do not neglect the option of massage, especially regular self-massage, of the posterior calf to reduce muscle tone. It will reduce the pull on the achilles and its tendency to lock your stride. Damage comes from overuse, but also from under-preparedness. Plowing into workouts with stiff muscles is just asking for it.
I went through the same phase around your age, of wanting too much in too little time, and paid the price as you have. If you are not planning the PRs, it's ok to relax into the gentle rhythm of a "dreaded jogger." It brings helpful circulation without taxing the calves as much as those sprints, and may be one of your best rehab strategies until things have mended well enough to start pushing it again. Just take your time coming back.. patience is the best lesson of endurance sport. You will get over it as I did.
James, I didn't look back at the 2008 post, but basically considered them separate incidents because of the time between. In reading his post this time, the "pop" seemed to take precedence, thus a recommendation of slow, gentle recovery, based on the achilles. Your ideas are more comprehensive and should cover most of the bases.
Good point about the "pop." I wonder what it's about, but it didn't bother me too much because mpderksen calls it "familiar" (which could be a figure of speech, maybe meant "common"), and describes it as more of an annoyance than a game-ender. Says whatever it is happens on both sides, so it's possible some bones or other firm tissue are being pulled out of their normal path and making noise, or maybe it is only felt.
I once had an achilles tendinosis that was audible in a quiet room, but never had a popping sound in that area. It took months of inactivity to recover in my case, but this runner keeps chugging along. In any event, the eccentric training sounds like a winner if it works here. I'll trust that the data show better modeling of repair and diminished symptoms vs. rest alone. Wish I'd known about it back in the day.
If mpderksen ditches the athletic stride in favor of something flatter with less loft and quicker turnover, it might be therapeutic. Running is based, after all, on sustainable eccentric contractions, but the authors of the article no doubt had less repetitions in mind, lol. I wonder if the excess pronation mentioned in the article comes into play here? That could elevate this injury to "chronic" status...

Today I finished my 9 week running program C25k! When I started this program I could barely run for 60 seconds and today I ran for 36 minutes without stopping! Now I just keep working to improve. Next on my list is to actually run a 5k race! I am not sure which one though. Komen "Race For The Cure" is in October but that is a huge race to do as a first one. In November the "Hear In The Mesa 5k" is being held right behind where I work. Decisions, decisions! I would love to hear about any other races anyone might know of around Mesa, AZ!
Hi there,
i just signed up so i could congratulate you on finishing the c25k program. I have just finished the first week myself and hope to be able to make a similar post in 9 weeks.
Good luck with your first 5k
I have a question I am into about 5 weeks now this yesterday was hard I did just as much walking as running very humid here in central FL not sure where you are did you stay by the book schedule or did you go beyond I am finding now I am just running as far as I can and then maybe walk 1-2 min and run again as long as I can doing about 40 min. with 3 miles do you suggest I get back on the schedule? did you ever find days were you were falling behind & not such good days? Just looking for a good advise for a newbie- thanks
Great job!! Why wait till October or November? Maybe you can find one in September and get your first race under your belt !!
Thank you andre. I am sure you will be making the same post. It is a great feeling. Good Luck.

Just looking for a good advise for a newbie- thanks
gogolegs...Week 5 is tough...physically and mentally. I am in Arizona and it is our monsoon season, so while it was humid for me (60 to 75%) it is nothing to what you get in Florida. My best advice is to stick with the program as it is written. I went by times rather than the distances. So if the program called for 20 minutes or 2 miles I ran for the 20 minutes. I am NO WHERE CLOSE to a 10 minute mile yet. It is designed to bring you along gradually to lessen soreness and injuries.
Instead of going above what the program called for, on a couple of the off days I started doing some light cross training to strengthen my core and give my legs a rest. You will most definitely have good days and bad days. I actually learned more on the bad days because while my body didn't feel like continuing I forced my mind to keep pushing. I wrote about htis on my blog http://zekerunning.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/some-days-im-just-mental/ I was fortunate in that I was able to complete the program without having to repeat any days or fall behind, but there is absolutely no problem in doing that. I did not appraoch this as a one and done program, I used it to launch what I hope will be a lifetime activity so if I had to repeat or start over in the grand scheme of things that would be okay.
Good luck with the program. It is nice to meet other new runners.

Thanks Longtallsallee! Well it is still 100 or more degrees here in AZ and this old, overweight and slow man doesn't want to embarass himself...yet.
By October it should be cooler and I will feel more comfortable and hopefully a little faster.
Zeke, congratulations on finishing C25K and good luck on that first 5K (the first of many). You are right on two important points. First, this is the beginning of what you want to become a lifetime activity. Second, cross-training with the emphasis on core strengthening is vital. Strengthening those muscles will help your posture and that in turn will let your entire body share the stresses of running.
Since I'm in Illinois, I can't help you pick that first race, but I'm sure there are lots from which to choose. Ask around at your local running stores to see which they recommend.
Completed in 2012:
The Qualifier HM, Midland MI, May 2012, 2:58, 80+ degrees
Dam to Dam 20K, Des Moines, IA, June 2012, 2:17, PR for this race
Garry Bjorklund HM, Duluth, MN, June 2012, 2:20
Fox Valley HM, St. Charles, IL, 9/16/12, 2:23
Des Moines HM, 10/21/12, 2:19
Tentative plans for 2013:
Wisconsin (Half) Marathon, Kenosha, WI 5/4/2013 (registered)
Dam To Dam 20K, Des Moines, 6/2/2013 (registration opens March 20th)
Grandma's (Half) Marathon, Duluth, MN, 6/22/2013 (if I get picked again in the lottery)
Des Moines HM, 10/20/2013 (registered)
Congrats! I finished on Thursday (September 6). I have signed up for three 5ks (one at the end of September, one at the end of October, and a Thanksgiving Day Gobble Wobble). Looking forward to what is hopefully going to be a lifetime activity!
Congratulations! I'm just starting W8 myself. If all goes well, I should be "graduating" at the end of next week and celebrating like you are now. Good luck in your first race!
Thank you KB & Laura. Congrats on Finishing (or soon finishing) the C25K program. Now the hard part is just to keep running and improving for all of us. I have to admit I NEVER thought I could ever enjoy running so much!
Congrats on graduation. I'm in Week 6 also in Arizona, San Tan Valley. I know the Hot Chocolate 15k/5k is coming up in December, I was thinking about that one for my first. There is also a great running store in Tempe called Sole Sports Running Zone which has a list of local races. They also have some really helpful staff there who sold me a great fitting pair of shoes. Good luck, I'm going to keep an eye on this thread and see if anyone else has good ideas about what's coming up.
Thanks DogCrazy! Nice to meet an AZ neighbor!
Funny you recommend Sole Sports because that is where I got my shoes from, and I have to agree they are the best! Melissa Davis was absolutely awesome, I can't say enough good things about them.
Thanks for the heads up on the run in December. I am still debating if I will do the Komen run in October as my first 5k,
but I am going to do the "Hear In Mesa" http://www.run4hearing.com/arizona#!__arizona run in November. Its at Superstition Springs Mall.
Good luck to you and keep running!

Improved feedstream titers are driving a demand for increased downstream processing productivity as manufacturers seek to lower the costs of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). The unique selectivity of Protein A has enabled platform technologies for MAb purification. Platform technologies and chromatography resin improvements can help manufacturers achieve rapid and economical process development and scale-up. A multiprong approach can enable downstream process scientists to enhance productivity.
To solve these multiple demands, several solutions have been developed, including, among others, the use of platform technologies and chromatography resin improvements.
A downstream platform technology is based on experience with purifying a class of products with similar properties. With more than 500 MAbs currently in preclinical studies, monoclonal antibodies represent the greatest number of biotechnology products to which similar purification processes can be applied. In particular, the unique selectivity of Protein A has enabled the development of platform technologies for the purification of monoclonal antibodies.
Monoclonal antibodies usually differ from one another in surface charge and glycosylation. By selecting and adjusting unit operations, selectivity is achieved for each MAb. Typically, the order of anion and cation exchange steps might be reversed, hydrophobic interaction chromatography might replace cation exchange chromatography, or hydroxyapatite columns might be used. Before adding or substituting a chromatography step, it is usually advisable first to try optimizing the process by evaluating column load, wash and elution buffers, and pH. Of particular importance is pH, as some proteins tend to aggregate when exposed to low pH. Downstream platform technologies thereby simplify development across the breadth of MAb products.

Mark Jackson will return to ESPN as an NBA game analyst beginning Sunday for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals, 12 days after the Warriors fired him as head coach.
ESPN announced Saturday that Jackson agreed to a multi-year deal at a time when Jackson is open to a return to coaching.
"I'm Back!," Jackson wrote on Instagram. "Praise God!".
Jackson, who is scheduled to call the Eastern Conference finals and NBA Finals, will rejoin broadcast partners Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy. That team worked together from 2006-2011 before Jackson left to become the Warriors' head coach.
Jackson was fired after leading the Warriors to back-to-back playoff appearances.
"We're thrilled to welcome Mark back to ESPN and for him to reunite with Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy -- a three-person booth that was very popular and successful for us for several years," ESPN executive vice president John Wildhack said in a statement. "Mark has an outstanding NBA mind, a tremendous on-air presence and he brings a wealth of knowledge both as a player and now as a head coach."

Speakeasy: Bryan Adams Gets 'Exposed'
The following first appeared on WSJ's Speakeasy blog.
By Aaron Rasmussen
Bryan Adams has long been known for his music, but he's increasingly garnering praise for his photography. "Any time you work in a creative field, it's going to inspire other things," says Adams, who has just released "Exposed," his first book of portraits that features shots of everyone from actresses Judi Dench and Lindsay Lohan to the now deceased singers Amy Winehouse and Michael Jackson. "For me photography has been a great outlet for creative energy."
Adams, who is currently performing on his Bare Bones Tour, first picked up the camera in the late nineties with the idea to shoot self-portraits that he could use on his album covers. It turns out he liked getting behind the camera as much as performing in front of it, and the 53-year-old now splits his time between the two.
"[Photography] certainly has inspired lots of music…" he says of his second career.
Still, Adams doesn't hesitate when asked which he would stick with if forced to choose one over the other. "I would pick music," he says. And in his sit-down interview with The Wall Street Journal he definitively answers the real burning question on everyone's mind: What was the song "Summer of '69″ really all about?

How do I love thee Cheesecake, let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and size
My thighs can reach.
The end. (Hey, I could have made it into a haiku. Would that have made it any better? Didn't think so.)
1 cup chocolate graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
4 Tbsp butter, melted
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Lightly spray two mini-cheesecake pans (each pan equals 12 mini-cheesecakes so we're going for a total of 24 with this recipe.) Combine above ingredients and press mixture into the wells of each pan. I used a shot glass to press the crust into the wells. Place cheesecake pans on a cookie sheet (to avoid any butter dripping into your oven.) Bake in oven for 5 minutes then remove to cool slightly.
Turtle layer:
24 caramels
1/4 cup heavy cream or half & half
1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
Combine the caramels and cream and melt until smooth on stove or in microwave. Top each crust with a small amount of caramel then with the chopped pecans. Place pans in freezer for 15 minutes to set this layer so it doesn't become part of the filling.
2 oz unsweetened chocolate
2 oz semi sweet chocolate
1 1/2 Tbsp butter
20 oz. cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 large eggs
1/3 cup sour cream
2 tsp vanilla
Melt chocolate and butter in microwave-safe bowl at 15-second increments, until chocolate is melted. Stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Cream together cream cheese, sugar, and cocoa with mixer until smooth. Add in eggs, one at a time, and blend until incorporated into batter. Stir in sour cream and vanilla then add the melted chocolate and combine well.
Distribute batter evenly amongst mini-cheesecake wells. Bake until filling is set, 20-25 minutes. Cool on wire rack, and then refrigerate at least three hours before unmolding.
Garnish (optional)
caramel topping (the kind you put on ice cream)
chopped pecans
mini chocolate chips

Communications, Culture & Society
Mainstream media and the communications sector are still largely male-dominated in management, ownership and representation. Women hold only 3 percent of leadership positions in the sector. And despite the parity of female and male graduates from journalism schools in the U.S., women reporters on average make $9,000 less per year than their male cohorts. New media and the internet are offering new opportunities for women's involvement, with an estimated 7.3 million more women online than men and 23 million women who use blogs, including the emerging "momosphere," or moms who blog. A vibrant feminist media is building alliances to combat sexism and amplify voices and critical viewpoints. Initiatives from our network, such as SheSource and the Women's Media Center, are aiming to address the absence of women as experts and opinion leaders in the public sphere.

- Memo from Chancellor Miller
- News Release (Wednesday, February 06, 2013)
- UNCW Athletics
After careful evaluation of the IARC's recommendations and close consultation with the Board of Trustees, Chancellor Miller today announced that UNCW's 19 sports programs will remain active as we examine ways to increase our financial and operational efficiency surrounding Athletics. The chancellor thanks the IARC for the important and difficult work they have done. Chancellor Miller also thanks everyone who engaged in this important dialogue and encourages those who made their voices heard over the past few weeks to continue to support UNCW Athletics financially as well whenever possible. We look forward to collaborating with this community to ensure the success of our athletic programs, and we are confident that if we work together toward that goal, the future is bright for current and future Seahawks.
Statement from the Committee Chair
"These recommendations reflect the IARC's critical analysis of UNCW's current athletic portfolio and its potential for long-term success. The report is meant to provide input for Chancellor Miller and Athletic Director Bass as they determine a future path for UNCW sports - one that offers those sports the best possible opportunity for fiscal, competitive, and organizational effectiveness. The committee took its charge very seriously, and was at every turn deeply cognizant of the impact these recommendations may ultimately have on UNCW's student-athletes and coaching personnel. Unfortunately, the committee saw no way for the athletics department to meet its fiscal goals without considering a reduction in the size of the portfolio. As heavy as our hearts have been as we finalized these recommendations, we realize nothing compares to how our student-athletes and coaches will feel at the possibility of their programs being eliminated. While these recommendations will surely invite disappointment and debate, inaction was not an option. The committee did its best to meet the chancellor's charge, and we submit this report with the greatest of hopes that by facing tough decisions now, UNCW Athletics will be able to strengthen its remaining programs and be even more competitive in all sports for years to come."

Ryan Villopoto, at his young age, is already an icon. The three-time AMA World Supercross Champion (2011, 2012, 2013) and two-time AMA Motocross Champion (450 Class) is also the only rider in the history of the sport to clinch a series crown four races early.
Bursting onto the scene in 2006 with an AMA Motocross Lites Championship and the AMA Supercross/Motocross Rookie of the Year title, he's elevated himself and his overall program to unrivaled heights – demonstrating consistency that few programs can match.
A true legend in the making, RV2's seven overall championship titles has propelled him into the pages of history as one of the World's most elite – following in the footsteps of fellow iconic Oakley greats whose stories live on through decades of MX greatness.
His name is now penned alongside Supercross legends Bob Hannah, Jeremy McGrath and Ricky Carmichael as the only riders to win three consecutive titles. Villopoto however, has the unique distinction of being the only rider in the history of the sport to clinch a series crown four races early.

SAN JOSE -- Santa Clara County is the best-performing metro economy in the nation -- and has a good shot at staying at or near the top for years to come, analysts said Thursday.
For the first time since 2001, the South Bay claimed the top spot in a closely watched annual survey of the nation's best-performing metro regions conducted by the Santa Monica-based Milken Institute.
"Silicon Valley Is Back" is the title of the report, which was released Thursday.
The San Francisco-San Mateo-Marin region was No. 36, up from No. 57 in 2011. The East Bay was ranked No. 155, up from 168 in 2011. The survey ranked 200 major metro areas in the United States.
San Jose and its surrounding regions returned to the top of the pack because of the income and wealth creation of Silicon Valley's remarkable technology sector, according to the report.
"The San Jose metro area is the leading innovation and technology ecosystem in the world," said Ross DeVol, chief research officer with the Milken Institute, a nonprofit financial think tank.
The South Bay's top ranking for 2012 contrasts sharply with its position in 2011, when it was placed No. 51.
"You would expect the South Bay to top the list," said Jordan Levine, director of economic research with Beacon Economics. "The South Bay has led the recovery in the nation."
Santa Clara County has consistently been at or near the top in recent monthly reports by the U.S. Labor Department on the rates of job growth in the nation's major metro regions.
"The economy is impressive in the South Bay," said Jeffrey Michael, director of the Stockton-based Business Forecasting Center at University of the Pacific. "You not only have strong job growth, but you also have income growth in the South Bay."
Silicon Valley may not produce as much tech equipment as it once did, but much of the world's output is envisioned and designed there, the report determined.
The latest technology wave is powered by social media, mobile devices, clean tech, and "big-data analytics," the report stated. "Silicon Valley is still a powerhouse in Internet search, communications, networking, semiconductor and computer design, medical technology, telecom services, and data processing."
Analysts believe Santa Clara County has a good chance to remain at or near the top in coming surveys.
"I would expect the South Bay to remain strong," said Michael Yoshikami, CEO of Walnut Creek-based Destination Wealth Management.
The Silicon Valley economic rebound driven by the tech sector is lifting all of the proverbial boats in the South Bay.
"San Jose's recovery has spread throughout the regional economy, thanks to the high multipliers associated with the tech industry," according to the report. For each job added to the technology industry, two professional positions and three nonprofessional jobs are created, it stated.
Cupertino-based Apple (AAPL), for example, which is believed to employ 34,000 in its hometown, has indirectly created an additional 170,000 jobs throughout the South Bay, the report estimated.
Underscoring how technology is driving economic recovery nationwide, 12 of the top 25 metro areas were tech-oriented geographic regions.
Other locations in the top 10 include the metro regions of Austin, Texas; Raleigh, N.C.; Washington, D.C.-Northern Virginia; Salt Lake City; and Cambridge, Mass.
"Technology has bounced back very strongly," Yoshikami said. "Tech is an industry whose strength is spreading to other markets. Tech has a huge impact on a local community in terms of job creation, wages and retail activity."

Here are the top 10 metro regions for 2012 in the Milken Institute report:
1. San Jose
2. Austin, Texas
3. Raleigh, N.C.
4. Houston
5. Washington, D.C.
6. Salt Lake City
7. Provo, Utah

Reel 202, Item 1
The Galveston Flood
Come, listen to my story I'm now a-going to tell,
It's of a noted city you all remember well,
'Twas on a southern island where the tide and waves
rolled high,
A fine commercial seaport with beautiful sunny skies.
On the eighth day of September, one awful stormy night,
A storm swept o'er the country with a dreadful power
and might,
It blew the waves all over the city everywhere,
And many a people sink nevermore to appear.
The tide came o'er the island and hit it from our side,
And man a father and mother were drownded t he night
And buried in the ocean beneath the briny deep,
Remained until the angels awaked them from their sleep.
The storm was waging dreadful, the waves were dashing
And many of the people thought they surely must die,
But they couldn't leave the island, for there was no
The flood was raging angry, and water in every street.
The storm was drifting northward, and struck a southern
And spread death and destruction on every street and
It shook the very island on which the city stood,
Reaching from coast to country with a dreadful raging
Some places in the city the people all were drowned,
And not a trace of some of them evermore be found,
Until the great archangel comes from the other shore
And says in thundering trumpet that time shall come no
Reel 202, Item 1, con't.
It fills my heart with sadness while thinking of that
While many a thousand of people in a fine southern
Were swept from earth forever and buried in the deep,
And some poor child and mother are left on earth to
And so for poor Galveston, the storm that laid her low
And many of her people this place will ne'er more know
They've gone from earth forever, their graves are in
the deep,
Where thousands of her people in the ocean waters
This fine commercial city, the pride of a great state,
Will evermore remember its sad and awful fate,
When rolling waves were dashing and houses falling
The city (cries?) of many a people were heard throughout
the town.
The story now is finished, I've told you all I know
About the storm of Galveston, where the dreadful winds
did blow,
The dashing of water with the awful overflow
And drowned so many people in the Gulf of Mexico.

Czech Republic, 2012, 113 Minute Running Time
Additional Countries: Poland
Genre/Subjects: Comedy, Dark ComedyLanguage: Czech, Polish English Sub-Titles
The gentle hilarity of this absurdist film, directed by Marek Najbrt (Protektor), harks back to the classic Czech comedies of that country's 1960s artistic renaissance (before it was crushed by the Russians in 1968). Four actors in their 40s who went to university together decide to make a film. There's baggage between them, which they try to deal with. But finally they just throw in their lot together—the ups and downs of their careers have made this idea irresistibly appealing to their vanity.
The leader of this little cabal exploits a tabloid's "exposé" to gain attention and sympathy for the film. They bring in an inexperienced, video-blog-addicted director, and secure financing from a Polish "suit," who insists they cast his beautiful girlfriend as the star. The suit hires his own "expert on Czech comedy," and moves the production from Brno to Krakow. This is only the start of their troubles, as their own problems come into play—financial, marital, sexual, and religious. They wrestle with one another's volatility and the sweeping changes to the script mandated by their benefactor, who has decided the humor in the film is insufficiently Polish. But when everything goes awry, they rally and somehow come through for one another—in an absurdist way, of course.
Starring Pavel Liška, Tomáš Matonoha, Josef Polášek, and Marek Daniel as themselves, this faux documentary (à la Christopher Guest) expertly plays the thin line between reality and farce.

This article appeared in our Spring 2013 Update publication.
A year ago Bill Brainard of Bethel was in so much back pain he visited his doctor, Milt Fowler at Gifford in Randolph, for help.
"I've got a high tolerance for pain, but the day I was at this office, it was so bad it would almost bring tears to your eyes," says Bill, who worked in excavation and trucking. "It hurt like heck."
Bill had an MRI to determine the cause of his back pain. The MRI revealed a cyst in the spinal canal, which was pushing on the nerve roots that serve the legs. Surgery was an option, but is fairly invasive. A non-surgical interventional radiology procedure at Gifford – a
percutaneous rupture of the synovial cyst – seemed like a better option.
Using CT image guidance, radiologist Dr. John McIntyre accessed the cyst through the facet joint – the joint causing the cyst – and injected sterile saline, causing the cyst to fill and burst. Bill was awake for the procedure, which he called fairly painless.
When the cyst ruptured, he felt immediate relief.
"I don't think I was in there a total of two hours," Bill recalls. "I went right back to doing everything. It was amazing."
Bill, 69, is now retired from the excavation business, but keeps busy logging. A year later, he is still pain-free.

SAN JOSE -- Seven people were arrested Wednesday on suspicion of either buying or selling several thousand pounds of stolen copper wire during the past few months, police said.
The identities of those arrested were not released, but San Jose Police Department spokesman Officer Albert Morales said all arrests took place at either San Jose Metals Recycling Center, on North 10th Street, Elite Recycling Services, on Tully Road, or Patricia's Salon, on Southside Drive.
In addition to the stolen copper wire that was seized during the arrests, officers also found a large amount of cash, a loaded handgun and a small amount of methamphetamine. Morales said officers did not know how far-reaching the theft operation was. The value of the recovered copper was also not available.
"Copper theft is something that has been a problem for quite some time," he said. "It's becoming out of control. It's starting to affect schools, where kids can't turn on lights or their computers. It's affecting traffic signals and street lighting. It sets everyone back."
All seven people who were taken into custody were arrested on suspicion of possession of stolen copper wire, purchasing copper wire without identification and paying for recycled material without the state-required three-day waiting period for paying for scrap metal purchases.
The Santa Clara County Special Enforcement Team, the Department of Transportation, the California Highway Patrol, Cal Recycle, the Department of Weights and Measures, San Jose's Code Enforcement Unit and the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office also helped with the arrests.

A relief fund set up to help residents of a southwestern North Dakota town devastated by a wildfire has surpassed $100,000.
Lemmon, S.D.-based Dakota Plains Federal Credit Union set up the fund after the Oct. 17 fire swept through Bucyrus. The blaze destroyed four homes in the town of 27 people. Some families still are displaced.
The credit union is continuing to accept donations.

A few days ago I posted about Microsoft's efforts to curb unauthorized distribution of its products by misrepresenting a piece of malware as a "critical security update". However, Microsoft's also arousing ire by refusing to offer a patch to fix a critical security flaw in Windows ME and 98. In short, unless you want to risk exposing your computer to criminals, you need to either (a) pony up $100+ for XP or (b) switch to GNU. Now, of course I offer the second choice seriously, but Ed Bott has another idea: Microsoft should offer a "starter edition" of XP and price it around $30. The starter edition would be crippled to the point of near inoperability, but, tongue-in-cheek, that means the it should work as well as 98 or ME.
Here's almost a textbook example of where FOSS triumphs over proprietary ware. If ME and 98 were FOSS, then other programmers could patch the flaw (assuming there was sufficient demand). However, it's not in Microsoft's interests to do so, so they leave their users with little choice: Buy or die.
I really think that this poses a golden opportunity for GNU. What we have here is so incredibly fortunate, I suspect divine intervention. Here's my plan—let's reach out now, in a powerful and unified way, to Windows 98 and ME users. Let's explain to them the danger of continuing to use their OS, why the development model is the cause of their being in this situation, and help them make the switch to GNU.
I would like to see a special distro, perhaps a version of Ubuntu, specifically designed to help ME/98 users make the switch. Let's strike while the iron is hot!
The big problem
Well I am a strong advocate of FOSS, but let's face it:
Most (Win)users don't know about these "critical security flaws" and even if they do most just don't care. Even if the system breaks there is always a nice boy/girl in the family or neighbourhood who will happily fix(=reinstall) it and most users take this as normal.
I just recently had to learn, that some folks do indeed use www.google.com (their starting page) to punch in the addresses they wanna surf too (Phone call "I' am in google now." Me: "You mean you are running firefox!?" He: "What? I am in Google!" Me: "Then Internet Explorer?!" He: "No Google". Me "Google is a web-page, it is not a program. You are viewing it in a so called browser" He "No, no I am running Google ..." Me (giving up)
"Now punsh in the adress in the address bar" He: "What bar?" Me: "Where you punch in the address you wanna surf to. It is somewhere at the top" He: "I always use Google"....)
Desktop Linux (or *BSD etc) looks different and most users I met look for a couple of buttons they are most familiar with and they now look different or are located elsewhere.
Security, stability, freedom of choice is NOT an argument for them to switch.
The situation is somewhat different in companies. They mostly have the money to pay for Windows and thus - unless a FOSS-infected admin pushes them (mostly with little support from the administration as they are familiar with Windows too (and have their admin for fixing the problems) - will upgrade, as the switch to FOSS-based OSes will not pay off immediately.
We need to target the opinion leaders in small and large companies. If they switch successfully, the "normal" users will soon follow.
It would be even better if we could have a seamless upgrade
It would be even better if we could have a seamless upgrade. I mean, a simple windows application they can run, that will make a new partition on their hard drive, save their settings to it, then reboot the pc, install the new GNU/Linux distribution and then restore all those backed up files (perhaps even importing IE favorites to FireFox, mail to thunderbird, etc).
If it could be a point-and-click operation, you can bet a lot more people would do it.
Sounds Ideal!
Your solution sounds ideal, Robin. I'm not skilled enough to do what you're suggesting here, but it's the way to go. It really does need to be that simple. I figure most people using ME or 98 are, for the most part, users with pretty simple needs: Email, web, word processor, maybe editing digital photos and printing. If we could show them how easy it is to do all of these things with GNU/Linux, I'm certain we could get them to switch.
Or you could just wait...
I agree that a system like that would be terrific, and I'd cheer loudly for anyone working on it, but it's a huge job directed at a moving target which is aware and taking evasive action. And to acheive your goal you pretty much need total success -- a partial conversion may even get more flak than a system that makes no such promises.
That said, there are companies that make products along those lines. There is, for example, a boxed MEPIS GNU/Linux that contains a crossover product (I'm sorry I've forgotten what they called it, but it was a major selling point).
These are commercial proprietary applications -- but so what? So is Windows, and if the whole point of the application is weaning you off of Windows and proprietary software, then it's not so bad. It's like a nicotine patch -- it's still drugging you, but if you actually do quit smoking because of it, then it was probably worth it. And from a practical perspective, a proprietary development environment is better suited for this kind of 'moving target + limited horizon' product (sort of like tax preparation software).
But in the end it will not be 'interoperability with Windows' or 'ease of conversion from Windows' that makes the difference. It will be 'how many people started out with Linux in the first place' and 'how many of my friends are already using Linux?'. Despite all these complaints about the difficulty of switching, Linux use has been slowly growing. There are now just about as many people using Linux on the desktop as Macintosh, IIRC. Eventually, that number will start to tick up faster because the growth is intrinsically non-linear -- more users mean more opportunities for growth, which means more users, etc.
At that point, Microsoft-style 'lock-in' becomes 'lock-out' -- Windows, due to its engineered incompatibility with other platforms will start to lose big when users and developers no longer believe "it's what 90% of the market uses, so it's all we have to support".
Also, it's becoming clearer and clearer that Microsoft can't keep up. How long has Vista been in development? People are starting to lose patience with huge delays, terrible security, low performance, and buggy software -- yet that's what Microsoft gets, because they are stuck in the proprietary development regime, which has a complexity ceiling. Yet the demand for more and more capable O/S software means that it's impossible to stay below that ceiling. Above it, only free software bazaar-developed software has much of a chance of being maintained.
So that means that as time goes on, Windows will go on being slower and slower to deliver and worse and worse in what it delivers, while Linux just keeps on sailing more or less like it does now. Proprietary development is, by its nature, a sprinting activity -- it doesn't do well in a marathon.
Of course, this could take another decade, but I'm not sure if it matters. I think we're already past the point where Linux could be easily killed by proprietary pressure, so that it's now just a matter of time. It's not like we have to 'take over' from Windows, we just need to keep growing.
I'd really prefer to see Linux developers continue to work on making Linux better without reference to Windows. All this 'ease of conversion' and 'MS compatibility' work seems too much like 'chasing taillights' to me. I'd rather see us sail into unknown waters and let others do the following.

NEW MATAMORAS—In the 19th century those unfortunate enough to have contracted smallpox may have ended up in a "pox house," sometimes referred to as a "pest house....

For a classic party dish that's popular at today's gatherings, choose charcuterie a platter of cooked and dry-cured meats, sausages and smooth p tŽs accompanied by crusty baguettes, pungent mustards, enticing cornichons, pickles and other savory morsels. It can make a great appetizer, entrŽe, picnic staple or the main attraction at a tailgating party. What's more, it's easy to create and readily transported to tailgating events and holiday parties.
There are a few elements to consider when assembling a charcuterie platter.
Textures: Select foods with a variety of textures firm sausages, soft p tŽs, crusty baguettes, artisan breads and crackers.
Flavors: The smoky, spicy and salty flavors of sausages and cured meats harmonize well with the buttery-smooth flavors of soft and semi-firm cheeses and the acidity from pickles or cornichons. Leave the smoky cheeses for another occasion as such flavors are too similar to the smoked meats and sausages. Also, select unflavored cheeses, none of the herb or garlic varieties. A classic French charcuterie presentation might include fruit such as figs, dates or dried apricots.
Colors: Pair green olives and cornichons with dark cured meats, white baguette slices and pale yellow cheese selections.
Shapes: Fold some of the paper-thin sliced sausages into quarters, forming a small triangle. Roll a few of the sausage slices into cylinders.
Here's an interesting way to present bread and sausages:
Prosciutto breadsticks
Makes five to six servings
10 pencil-thin crisp breadsticks
10 paper-thin slices prosciutto
No more than 30 minutes before serving, tightly wrap one prosciutto slice around the top half of one breadstick. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cover loosely with waxed paper and keep at room temperature.
Drinks: Hearty, earthy-toned red wines are a natural flavor mix for the blend of charcuterie platter flavors.
Signs: Your guests may appreciate small labels that identify the meats, sausages and cheeses, especially the spicy, hot varieties.

FireEye Looks to Cash In on Red-Hot Shares
FireEye is livening up an otherwise quiet week for corporate stock sales as it looks to cash in on the massive rally in its shares since its IPO.
The Milpitas, Calif.-based cybersecurity software provider and insiders such as venture capital firm Sequoia Capital plan to sell 14 million shares, according to a regulatory filing Monday morning, a stake valued at $1.2 billion as of FireEye's latest close. The deal is slated to price late Thursday, according to a person familiar with the offering.
FireEye's shares eased in recent trading, as stock offerings dilute existing holders and give large investors such as mutual funds and hedge funds reasons to save any buying they had planned to do until the offering itself.
The stock is up fourfold since its September IPO—which, by the way, raised just $349 million—so it's no surprise the company and its financial backers are looking to tap investor demand to raise cash.
Among companies that went public in the U.S. last year, FireEye has seen the second-biggest share rally since its IPO, trailing only pharmaceutical company Insys Therapeutics
If the deal goes well, it will offer the latest evidence that investor demand for fast-growing, technology-oriented companies is giving these firms a wide-open window to raise cash by selling stock.
The start of the year saw a spate of similar offerings, including equity sales by advertising-technology firm Rocket Fuel, data-analysis firm Splunk and human-resources software maker Workday Inc.
FireEye is using the offering to pad its coffers and increase its public float—the number of shares available to investors. The company, led by former McAfee Inc. chief executive David DeWalt, saw its revenue surge 94% in 2013, though it posted a significantly higher loss than a year earlier.
Key to prospective investors in this deal will be whether that performance is already priced into the stock. The rally in FireEye's shares has them trading at an eye-popping 71 times sales, according to FactSet.
Update: FireEye reported a loss in 2013. An earlier version of this post incorrectly said it posted a profit in 2013 and 2012.

Air travelers could face continued delays around California airports on Monday, even as San Francisco International Airport officials planned to re-open one of its two shuttered runways on Sunday.
Mineta San Jose International Airport received another 12 flights on Sunday that had been diverted from San Francisco International Airport and passengers should expect heavier-than-normal traffic on Monday.
While not as chaotic as Saturday, San Jose International also saw an unusually high number of passengers who presumably were returning from the Fourth of July weekend, airport spokeswoman Vicki Day said.
Airport officials were unsure whether to expect more SFO-diverted flights on Monday, but plan on seeing even more post-Fourth of July travelers, Day said.
Passengers flying into and out of San Jose on Monday should check with their airlines, she said.
Brian Kidd, spokesman for Oakland International Airport, said on Monday the airport will "definitely be ramping up again. You've got to check airline by airline."
Oakland did not receive any diverted flights from SFO on Sunday. But JetBlue airline decided to fly two flights out of Oakland instead of San Francisco, which required the airline to shuttle passengers across the Bay, Kidd said.
At Los Angeles International Airport, several SFO-bound flights again were canceled on Sunday and harried and tired passengers sometimes ran through the airport trying to get a flight out.
Natalie Alund, a reporter for this newspaper, said the scene was even more chaotic than Saturday, when Alund's flight to SFO was canceled.
On Sunday, she was stuck on the tarmac inside an SFO-bound flight for nearly an hour because the pilot said air traffic controllers in San Francisco would not let the plane take off as scheduled.
Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crashed Saturday on Runway 28L, which remained littered with debris and closed on Sunday.
But Runway 28R -- one of SFO's four runways -- will reopen by day's end, airport officials said.
In both the domestic and international San Francisco terminals, passengers who were served with cancellations and delays scrambled to find alternative ways home.
Passengers saw delays several hours long, and in some cases, they will have been at the airport for more than 24 hours by the time they fly out. Many were taking the delays in stride, noting the perspective provided by the crash that killed two and injured more than 100 others, some critically.
"You have to roll with it," said Amber Wood, an Illinois resident trying to fly to Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
That's a tall order for Wood, who is traveling with three children after vacationing in the Bay Area for the past week. She arrived at the airport expecting that at worst they would have to deal with a two-and-a-half hour delay.
Try two days. And that's after looking for a flight on another airline; her original carrier didn't have anything home-bound for a week.
"It impacts us greatly, trying to get back to jobs and things like that," Wood said. "But (the crash) instantly puts things into perspective."
James Truesdale came to the airport for a Saturday evening flight after his carrier told him that his plane would take off as scheduled, perhaps with a slight delay.
He and his girlfriend ended up taxiing and then parking, stranded on a London-bound plane for nearly eight hours before they were let back into the international terminal. A fuel leak was partly to blame, he was told.
"They kept saying in 15 to 20 minutes we'll be ready," Truesdale said, adding that promise was made ad nauseam. "We weren't allowed to move for two solid hours."
By the time he was to leave Sunday, he will have spent a full day lounging in the terminal. Like the others, he was tired and exasperated, but still remarkably patient given what had transpired Saturday.
"These things happen, and there's nothing you can do," Truesdale said. "I just want to get home."

This week's column is a continuation of last week's theme -- celebrating the January birthdays of Jack London and Julia Morgan. Here are some suggestions for ways to channel your inner Jack or Julia.
For Jack London (born Jan. 12, 1876) head down to Jack London Square in Oakland. The website www.jacklondonsquare.com pinpoints the Sunday farmers market, which happens every week from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. along Water Street. between Franklin and Harrison streets. There are free yoga classes at 9:30 a.m., cooking demonstrations and activities for kids. You'll want to pause at the Jack London Cabin, partially reconstructed with logs from the Yukon Territory where a 19-year-old Jack wintered in 1895. He was hoping to strike it rich, and his adventures there are the basis for many of his stories and novels.
Also stop in at Heinold's First and Last Chance Saloon (www.heinolds.com) where time has stood still, thanks to the efforts of Carol Brookman, the proprietor. Brookman keeps the 130-year-old former bunkhouse -- built by original owner Johnny Heinold from planks from a whaling ship -- just as Jack would have known it when he used to frequent it. Heinolds is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is also a National Literary Landmark. Be sure to look at the colorful mural about the author's life, on the side of the building.
Jack London Square was established as a destination in 1950 to attract tourists to the waterfront. A self-guided trail through the area, marked by wolf track pavers, tells the story.
Oakland Restaurant Week runs through next Sunday, so you can choose from participating restaurants in the square -- Bocanova, Kincaid's, Scott's, or Yoshi's -- for their special offerings. For more, go to www.visitoakland.org. Movies are $5 all day on Sundays at the Jack London Regal Cinema.
For Julia Morgan (born Jan. 20, 1872), you'll find a variety of choices as well. Sunday marks the first scheduled jazz concert for the year at the Chapel of the Chimes, 4499 Piedmont Ave. The chapel is a Romanesque and Gothic-inspired columbarium designed by Morgan in the 1920s. Go to www.jazzat thechimes.com for a list of upcoming concerts to be held every other month on the third Sunday. Sunday's headliner is Larry Vuckovich. The free concert begins at 2 p.m.
A former church designed by Morgan in Berkeley's Elmwood District is home to Berkeley Playhouse, a professional theater for all ages that presents musicals featuring child performers. The Arts and Crafts wood venue is known as the Julia Morgan Theatre. The current production is "Disney's Peter Pan Jr." More info is at www.berkeleyplayhouse.org. Performance dates are Jan. 19 to 21 and Jan. 25 to 27.
Perhaps one of Julia Morgan's best known landmark buildings is the Berkeley City Club, 2315 Durant Ave., built in 1928. According to the website http://landmarkheritagefoundation.org, there are many public events and many opportunities to see the grand interior spaces of the city club. Guided tours are offered on the fourth Sunday of the month from 1 to 4 p.m. Check the website for details.
To learn more about Jack London, schedule a tour with the Oakland Tours Program, at 510-238-3234. The Tours Program will also be featuring Julia Morgan's life on a downtown walk in March, for Women's History Month. Leave a message if you would like to receive the March tour announcement.

LOS ANGELES -- Hours before Game 5 against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Warriors had an audio recording controversy of their own to address.
ESPN reported Tuesday assistant coach Darren Erman was fired earlier this month for secretly recording conversations in coaches' meetings, meetings between coaches and players and informal discussions in the coaches' room.
The Warriors had announced a violation of company policy led to the termination of Erman, who has since been rehired by the Boston Celtics as their director of NBA scouting, according to Yahoo! Sports.
"There was no dysfunction," Warriors head coach Mark Jackson said before the team's shootaround. "I had a great staff. It's been a great year, and we are 2-2 with an opportunity to win Game 5 against this Clippers team. It's been a great year for us on the court, and we are together as a staff and as a team. Nothing has changed.
"You can make a mistake. That don't mean that's my dysfunction. It's documented."
Jackson said of the report on the secret recordings, "Obviously, Erman no longer works for us, and we've made a statement as an organization, and we move forward. This is old news."
Erman was fired the week after another assistant, Brian Scalabrine, was reassigned to a player development coaching position for Santa Cruz after what Jackson called a "difference in philosophies."
Because of those late-season departures the Warriors have been left with three assistant coaches on the bench during the playoffs.
Jackson had said after Erman's firing that he was "pulling for him to make a comeback" and at Staples Center again praised the 37-year-old as "an outstanding coach who did a great job."
General manager Bob Myers declined to comment, referring to a statement released by the Warriors.
"We were unaware of the violation, and when made aware, we took immediate action," the statement read. "We will have no further comment at this time."
"I look at the things that we did wrong, that if we take care of, we'll be in great position moving forward," Jackson said. "We were down five at halftime and we missed six free throws. We probably gave away 10 points in the first half on our lack of game-plan discipline."
"If we tighten up the mistakes we made, we're like the Clippers. We are one," Jackson said. "We are one win way from forcing Game 7."
Correspondent Eugene Fields contributed to this report.
