- How to Read a Study Record
This is an open-label study evaluating the efficacy and safety of lamotrigine (LTG) for the treatment of newly-diagnosed typical absence seizures. Subjects will be children and adolescents < 13 years of age. It will be conducted at multiple sites in the US. The study will consist of 4 phases: Screen Phase (up to 1 week), Baseline Phase (24 hours), Escalation Phase (up to 20 weeks) and Maintenance Phase (12 weeks). Subjects will receive increasing doses of LTG according to the dosing schedule until attaining seizure freedom as confirmed by hyperventilation (HV) for clinical signs and a 1-hr EEG at 2 consecutive weekly visits. At that point, subjects will move into the 12-week Maintenance Phase. Subjects who do not achieve seizure freedom upon reaching the maximum dose (10.2mg/kg/day) with the specified dose escalation will be discontinued from the study. During the Maintenance Phase, the investigators will use their best effort to maintain the subjects at the efficacious dose reached. If the subjects have unacceptable side effects or inadequate seizure control, the doses of study drug can be increased or decreased as specified in the dosing schedule. Safety will be assessed by monitoring adverse events, laboratory assessments, and serum lamotrigine levels. Health outcomes assessments will also be conducted.

Mafioso: Bring Back The Code
Page 2 of 2
Drugs are a dirty businessI know narcotics are a lucrative commodity, and if you take a wrong turn in the wrong neighborhood, you know there's a constant market for them. But just because there is green behind the white, doesn't mean every stunad should become a seller. Don Corleone says it best in The Godfather, "Drugs, that's a dirty business." But you don't have to take the word of a fictitious character, despite the fact that he's played by Brando. You have to measure the risk versus the reward. Ruining lives and serving life sentences doesn't seem worth the extra dollar. You really want to stay in the game? Apply for a job at Pfizer: It's just enough corruption, plus a 401K.
Slippery slopeI'm still not ready to book that Mayan Riviera cruise the wife has been bugging me about. But if the Mexican drug game self-destructs like it should, I figure I'll be giving the travel agent a call by 2020. Excuse my pessimism, but anytime the rules are thrown out the window, any sense of order gets thrown out with it. There's a code that must be followed, and although that code can be flexible in its interpretation, there's certainly a limit to how far you can stray. Any business has to instill some ethics, even if that business is regrettably the drug business. Hopefully, that gets through to the numb nuts out there making headlines on Telemundo. But if it doesn't, I might have to book that cruise sooner than later so I can tell them myself.
Mr. Mafioso answers your e-mail

You've been talking about the youth lately, basically saying that we're all a bunch of lazy, spoiled bastards. Are you really telling me we don't have one positive trait? David Manger
Austin, TX
Excuse me for being harsh; clearly you're a little offended. That's good, shows my constructive criticism isn't falling on deaf ears. There are plenty of good things coming out of your generation, but instead of telling you how great you are, I'd rather tell you how much better you could be. Wasted potential, it's a terrible thing.
Stata Buon,
Mr. Mafioso

A week ago a friend and I were shopping and she saw some Mardi Gras beads and said, "Oh today is Fat Tuesday." It had been years since I had heard anyone call the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday Fat Tuesday. My mind did not track to the Mardi Gras celebrations, it focus on Lent.
When I was growing up, Lent was a time to give up something. I know I have written about this before, but making a sacrifice during Lent is worth writing about again.
When I was a kid, the nuns at Holy Spirit Grade School had us promise to give up something we liked. Some kids gave up watching T.V., others gave up pop, others gave up candy. I tried to give up school and homework, but that didn't go over too well. So I usually gave up candy. My reward always game on Easter morning. Not only did I get a basket of candy from the Easter Bunny, but if I had kept my Lenten pledge, I always got a special present from my mom and dad.
I asked my sister Mary what she remembered about Lent. She said it was fasting and not eating meat during Lent.
It's been a long, long time since I made any sacrifices or fasted during Lent. Of course I still know why we make sacrifices and fast during Lent. It is to try to be more like Christ. After all, He made the ultimate sacrifice for us. He gave up His life to give us everlasting life.
But, I just haven't been able to tune into the idea of sacrifices and fasting during Lent for a long time, then I got an email from my cousin the other day. It basically had a new twist on Lent, at least the fasting aspect. The powerpoint recommended that we fast not from food, but from questionable habits and spend time in positive ways.
This Lent: fast from anger and hatred – give an extra dose of love to family and friends; fast from judging others – remember, Jesus overlooks our faults; fast from discouragement – Jesus has a perfect plan for our lives; fast from complaining – recall the little moments of joy Jesus has given us; fast from resentment or bitterness – work on forgiving those who have hurt you; fast from spending too much money – reduce spending by 10 percent and give the difference to the poor; and spend extra time on personal prayer.
I realize that saying that I should be fasting from complaining is pretty easy for me. After all, I spent my day today riding in a convertible up to the base of Superstition Mountain with my sister and a good friend. However, it is not so easy to fast from complaining for those of you who are digging out from yet another blizzard.
Page 2 of 2 - The type of fasting shared in the email is the type I think I can do and will help spread the love of Jesus to those that I come in contact with.

Game after game after game, there's always a new front cover. Here is the official FIFA 13 front cover, revealed today! Take a look at it, you need to know what to look for when you run into the stores to buy the game!
FIFA 13 cover
Yup, you're looking at it – the official FIFA 13 cover with JUST Messi on it! As far as I am concerned, this is the first time there is only one player on the cover (correct me if I'm wrong). To be honest, the actual cover looks quite good, but I think it is too bias having just one player in there.
What do you think of it?

In 2002 she was the subject of Meine Schwester Maria (My Sister Maria), a poignant documentary film by her younger brother, actor-director Maximilian Schell.

I am a highly qualified teacher. I have an elementary certificate, a secondary certificate and a master's in guidance counseling (education). I taught elementary school for 11 years.
For six years I taught in an elementary school where most of my students were from other countries. Most of the students were Spanish speaking. This enabled me to use different strategies so that these students could learn. My ESL endorsement was very useful in helping me learn these strategies. My ESL endorsement is almost 30 hours.
After teaching first grade for four years you realize that phonics is very important in helping students learn to read. Phonics helps students analyze words so that they can read them. It is important for students to notice the silent e, short a or long a. Phonics is the key that helps students read.

OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso (WOMENSENEWS)--The little doll fits nicely into Miriam Koala's hand as she passes it over to a customer. The black body is offset by a white wedding dress; Koala made the little bride by hand.
It's just a small trinket--sold mostly to tourists--but it represents a growing initiative to combine environmental preservation with employment creation in the impoverished West African nation of Burkina Faso.
The doll is crocheted from a plastic yarn spun from black and white plastic bags that once littered the ground and are now finding their way to upscale U.S. boutiques.
The first shipment of products was shipped about a month ago and is expected to be on shelves and available at online stores by early fall.
Under the auspices of the Houet Women's Action Group for Economic Reliance, an umbrella organization of 117 women's groups in the southwest region of Burkina Faso, about 40 women work to collect and clean scores of plastic bags, then turn them into artistic creations for sale.
For many of the women working in the collective, craft-making has become the only source of money-making. Many of the women are widows and single mothers who have come together to find ways to support their families in a country where incomes average around $1,200 annually.
In a booth at an artisans' center on the outskirts of the capital city shoppers can watch the handicrafts being made; scissors in Christiane Lamizana's hand slice easily through black plastic.
Lamizana says members of the collective came up with the idea four years ago after seeing the litter-clogged streets of Bobo-Dioulasso, the Burkina town where the group is headquartered.
Goats Were Eating Plastic
Across Africa, women are becoming more involved in environmental initiatives, spurred on by role models such as Wangari Maathai's Green Belt Movement, which started in Kenya to encourage women to plant trees and expanded into other African countries.
In 2004, Maathai brought environmental activism in Africa to the forefront, winning the Nobel Prize for Peace and encouraging other women and girls to take the lead in environmental protection. She also created economic opportunity for women as she paid them to reforest Kenya.
Here, women were worried about the mysterious deaths of their goats. When they realized their animals were munching on the plastic bags and dying shortly after, they decided to do something to clean up the filth.
Traveling across West Africa, it's easy to tell when you're coming to a town or city: the spindly brown trees become decorated with plastic bags like Christmas tree tinsel. Caught in shrubs and on fences, the bags clog sewers and water sources. They are ubiquitous; simple plastic bags are handed out with practically every purchase at a market stall or container shop.
Unlike in the United States--where the same litter is often visible but where waste bins and recycling are common--streets in many West African cities are devoid of garbage bins and there are few street cleaning crews to collect the waste.
They're annoying, and as the women of Burkina's second-biggest city, Bobo-Dioulasso, were finding out, dangerous to their livestock.
A member of the collective heard about a woman in neighboring Benin who was using those plastic bags to crochet small trinkets. Creating another collective under the already-wide umbrella of the Houet Women's Action Group for Economic Reliance--the women started by learning the crocheting themselves, then took it a step further, Lamizana says.
Working at the Factory
The weavers gather at a small factory in Bobo-Dioulasso, where the plastic bags are brought and washed, cut into strips then twisted into tight yarn before being woven on looms to make purses, briefcases and clothing.
Lamizana also showed off a washing board, formed from melted plastic and molded into a typical, if old-fashioned, board. At their booth in the Village Artisanal de Ouagadougou, their main clientele are browsing tourists, who will pay a few dollars for the smaller items and $20 or more for a large bag.
Women at the collective's headquarters in Bobo-Dioulasso, where most of the products are made, have gotten the whole community involved in picking up the bags.
The group pays up to $1.25 for a large sack stuffed with plastic bags. Plenty of children and teens bring in the trash for the women, who then take it through a thorough cleaning and disinfecting process, Lamizana says.
Another group of women are responsible for cutting the plastic into strips, and each woman has their specialty area. Lamizana, for instance, weaves; Koala crochets.
Lamizana says since the recycling project started in 2003, it's made a noticeable dent in the amount of bags blowing around town as people save their bags and turn them into the collective's factory.
Their creations meanwhile caught the eye of the West Africa Trade Hub, a project funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development to open up trade opportunities for African businesses.
Exporting Dolls to the West
Last year seven product buyers mostly from the United States showed interest in the products, says Elitza Barzakova, the hub's export business development advisor based in Accra, Ghana.
Leslie Mittleberg, founder of the Oregon-based Swahili Imports, recently received an order of about $3,000 worth of products including dolls, change purses, passport holders and bracelets.
They will be offered to buyers at summer trade shows and will likely start appearing on shelves in the fall. Her usual buyers are about 2,000 boutiques, stores and museum shops in the United States, Canada and Japan, and Swahili's two stores in Eugene and Portland.
Mittleberg says there's a growing demand from younger consumers in their 20s and 30s for recycled products that are "funky and unusual."
"There's this big movement for recycling," she says. "Over the last two years people like to have a product that is natural fiber or (made from) recycled materials."
And artisans in Africa are starting to realize that.
"They're just being told it over and over again," she says.
Recycled plastic products are also being made in Kenya and Ghana's recycled glass products have grown in popularity too, Mittleberg says.
Mittleberg estimates a doll would retail for around $18.
Barzakova said online retailer The Hunger Site has put in an order, too.
The purses and other carriers--often basic black with colored highlights--are tapping into a small but growing niche market of products with a story behind them, Barzakova says.
Few artisans have yet discovered the potential profits in that sector. "I don't think they realize it to the full extent," she says. "They're getting there."

Judge Kaplan Dismisses Case Against 13 KPMGers
This just in: Judge Kaplan has dismissed the indictment of thirteen of the sixteen KPMG defendants. The case will proceed to trial on the charges against the three other KPMGers and two additional defendants who never were employed by KPMG (one of those is R.J. Ruble, a former tax partner at Sidley Austin). Here's the 68-page opinion.
Judge Kaplan had previously held that the government's interference with KPMG's payment of the legal fees of its employees and former employees violated the employees' constitutional rights. The government recently conceded that thirteen of the sixteen individuals formerly employed by KPMG are entitled to dismissal, assuming that this Court's previous ruling correct. Legal experts said the government's urging for dismissal was a strategic tactic designed to clear the way to appeal the judge's finding that the defendants' constitutional rights had been violated.

A largely-scrappy contest saw Cope take three of his five frames on the final two balls, and the last four in a row after a 49 break from Selby had levelled the match at 1-1.
Selby had clocked up runs worth 33, 43 and 21 in those scrappy frames, the highest breaks of each, only to lose to Cope on the final colour trail.
The 27-year-old Cope then racked up a 71 break, the highest of the match, to seal victory in the sixth frame.
Either Stuart Bingham or Tom Ford will serve as Cope's second-round opponent when the last-16 stage gets underway on Thursday, with Bingham and Ford in action on Wednesday morning.
Also in the day's opening session, Stephen Maguire advanced at the expense of Peter Ebdon in a mammoth opening round match which the Scot won 5-3.
2002 World champion Ebdon twice took the lead only to be pegged back by breaks of 78 and 49.
An Ebdon 69 and a Maguire 73 kept the two level at three frames apiece before Maguire seized control with a run to 58 before fighting off Ebdon's attempts at salvaging frame seven with snookers.
And with the Englishman needing frame eight to stay alive, the notorious grinder put up a stubborn resistance and capitalised on several unforced errors by Maguire in his efforts to force a decider.
But after over an hour of play in the frame, Ebdon finally saw his chances of winning the necessary snookers disappear and Maguire will now meet Ali Carter who won a final-frame play-off against Robert Milkins.
The final two wild card qualifiers for a spot in round one were also completed, with Chen Feilong seeing off Fergal O'Brien 5-2 to secure a Wednesday fixture against 2010 Crucible champion Neil Robertson.
Compatriot Jin Long, meanwhile, defeated Jimmy Robertson 5-4 in the longest match of the session to set up a meeting with 2006's World Championship winner Graeme Dott.

Our house went paper napkin/towel free last year so I was looking for basic napkins that would wash up nicely. These were a great price and I don't think they are treated with chemicals (some napkins are water resistant, wrinkle resistant etc..) These are great simple napkins, that still look elegant enough to use in a dinning room :)
Well made napkins that look just as pictured. Price is great.

I just read on another site where a lady froze it, thawed it in the fridge, then put it into the blender and it came out fine and didn't separate again after that. I think it's worth a try. I wanted to do it because there's only my husband and I which means most of the time what's left of even a small container of sour cream gets thrown away since we can't possibly finish it.
I haven't tried it YET but like some of the other posts here say "it comes out lumpy" and also looking kinda like cottage cheese BUT one person said to let it thaw in the fridge and that they put it in a blender to remix it, then back in the fridge overnight and it looked just like "new". I'll try it tonight and let y'all know tomorrow!

A teenager sent more than 11,400 unwanted text messages to a Driffield girl he fancied – then threatened violence when she wanted nothing more to do with him.
Scott Kinsey, 19, harassed Katie Hawkins by sending 7,791 text messages to her mobile telephone and 3,619 messages to her Facebook site.
It was the equivalent of 300 messages a day for 38 days.
When police became involved and told him to stop he used a third party to short-circuit a ban sending her friend 44 texts because he knew Miss Hawkins would see them. He threatened her granddad would be raped.
Kinsey of High Street, Flamborough, appeared in custody at Hull Crown Court for sentence on Wednesday May 28 after pleaded guilty to two charges of harassment. The text offences were committed between August 4 and September 11 last year. He also admitted two separate charges of attempted witness intimidation and intimidation.
Crown barrister Michelle Stuart-Lofthouse said Kinsey and Hawkins met via Facebook in May 2013 and he got her mobile number.
"They began messaging each other," said Mrs Stuart-Lofthouse. "Over a period of time, Scott Kinsey wanted to pursue a relationship. Miss Hawkins said she did not and wanted to be friends. At that stage his messages became more sexually abusive and threatening. He sent her 7,791 text messages. Between August 4 and September 11 he sent her 3,619 messages via a Facebook application. They are clearly sexual, threatening and very worrying. The final straw came on September 11 when he sent Miss Hawkins a picture message of a dead body, an axe and some swords. He told her he was travelling down to Driffield to kill her and her boyfriend. She was so frightened she left the town and called the police." Police traced Kinsey by his phone and at his home seized an axe and three Samaria swords. Kinsey was bailed but breached that by sending 44 messages on December 22 telling Ms Hawkins: "I will come back from hell and kill you. And when I come back from hell I am going to rape your granddad."
He tried to intimidate a witness by telling one to withdraw her statement to the police. He texted a male friend of hers saying: "I will get level with her one day. Mark my words. You can tell her I am getting more p***ed off. I will see her. I will do something I will regret. She had best keep her house alarm on. I will kill her! She is mine!" The court heard he had a convictions for harassing a woman which included approaching her and touching her bottom. He also punched a girl at a college knocking her mobile phone to the floor.
Defence barrister John Thackray said Kinsey had been in prison for five months since he was refused bail for intimidating a witness which was the equivalent of a 10-month sentence – a long time for a 19-year-old. He urged the judge not to jail him for any longer.
Sentencing, Judge Michael Mettyear told Kinsey: "You have a record for not accepting people will not do what you want. You harass them to make them change their minds. In this case it was not going to make her more inclined to like you by threatening to rape her granddad. On the one hand it was childlike and naive. On the other it was frightening and disgusting."
He ordered Kinsey should be given a 12-months suspended sentence in a young offenders' institution -leaving it hanging over him for 24 months. He also banned him from contacting the complainants for three years.
He warned Kinsey: "You have got to get this completely out of your life. Even the odd text to this young woman will mean you will be sent to prison."

Should I buy or lease? What's the difference?
You should carefully compare the costs of leasing and buying. Leasing is almost always more expensive in the long term. Usually, it takes longer to get full ownership of a car through a leasing agreement than by getting a loan to buy the car. If you buy a car with a loan, it might take five years to pay off. However, if you decide to purchase a leased car at the end of the lease, it might take seven or eight years to pay for the car.
Paying for a purchase after a lease takes longer because leases typically last three years, but then you have to make a very large payment – called a balloon payment – at the end of those three years if you want to buy the car under the purchase option. You may have to take out a four- or five- year loan to make that payment, which makes the total time until you're finished paying for the car seven or eight years.
If you choose to lease a car and then decide to return it, you will be responsible for any excess wear and tear and any excess mileage charges. If you have to return a leased car early, you may be charged thousands of dollars in unpaid lease fees.
Also, bear in mind that if you make a habit of always turning in your leased car at the end of the lease and then leasing another car, you are putting yourself in the position of paying lease payments into the indefinite future. This will nearly always be more expensive than taking out a loan to buy a car. If you buy a car, you will pay off the loan at the end of the loan term (typically four to five years), and then you will own the car outright. Today, many new cars last more than 10 years before they need to be replaced.

Think of a savings account like a loan to a bank. Banks borrow the money from you to loan it to someone else. Your goal should be to maximize the rate you charge banks to borrow your money. Fortunately, the top choices are simple: online banks and credit unions offer the best returns. We've looked looked at hundreds of offers to find the best for you.
5 things to know
Make sure your deposit is FDIC insured.
All US bank deposits are insured up to $250,000; if you deposit more, then open accounts at multiple banks.
Don't withdraw more than six times per month.
Regulation D limits the number of times you can take money out of a savings account to six.
Make sure the interest compounds daily.
Earn interest every day, so the next day you earn interest on a higher balance, which includes the interest already earned.
You don't need a traditional branch bank for a savings account.
If you have big cash deposits or write lots of cashiers checks, then okay. But the rate difference between online banks and traditional banks is huge!
If you open a Certificate of Deposit (CD), understand how much interest you forfeit for early breakage.
The amount can be up to 6 months, by law.

Spring 2016 Forum Series Overview
The Spring Forum Series continues to focus on our overarching question about the role of the arts in an interdisciplinary curriculum while focuing on how the practices of teaching arts and non-arts disciplines inform one another.
Thursday, Februrary 25th, 2016, ArtsBuild, 5:30pm-7:30pm
What does the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) mean for arts education? Jeff M. Poulin, Arts Education Program Manager from Americans for the Arts, provides an overview of the new legislation and implications for arts education.
Friday, February 26th, 9:00am- 5:00pm, UTC Fine Arts Center
9:00am-9:30am: Breakfast and Welcome, FAC, Jim Lewis Studio Theatre
9:30am-10:45am: Curriculum Experience
Participants will consider the relationship between practices in arts and non-arts instruction as they engage together in learning experiences that target skills and knowledge in the arts.
Visual Art, FAC 339
How do living things adapt to the circumstances they live in? In this unit, fourth grade students explore animals' adaptation to their environments. They learn about the field of scientific illustration and create informational illustrations of imaginary animals focused on their adaptations. Facilitated by Joel Baxley, Director of Visual Art Education, Southeast Center for Education in the Arts
Drama, FAC, Jim Lewis Studio Theatre
What makes a community change? This second grade arts integrated unit of study in drama and social studies challenges students to consider how rules develop and evolve as new communities emerge. Students will step in role as community members attending a public forum about building a new school that best serves their needs while honoring their dreams. Facilitated by Laurie Melnik, Executive Director, Southeast Center for Education in the Arts; Michele Mummert, Arts Education Consultant and Teaching Artist.
11:00am-11:30am: Reflection, FAC, Jim Lewis Studio Theatre
Those who engaged in visual art and drama experiences will come together to share their thoughts on the experiences and discuss questions, concerns, and opportunities that arise as they consider their own teaching and learning contexts.

How can our curriculum shape and be shaped by the messages we share with students, parents, and the community at large? Jeff M. Poulin, of Americans for the Arts, will guide participants to develop succinct statements about what our arts or non-arts programs are for. Participants will compare and discuss their ideas about their own work to come to a clearer understanding of the shared endeavor that we pursue and how (or to what extent) interdisciplinary instruction addresses shared learning outcomes.
3:00pm-4:30pm: Making Challenging Work Accessible, FAC, Jim Lewis Studio Theatre
How can great works from the past still be relevant to students today? How can text complexity create an opportunity to expose students to classical literature? How can we find the time to still teach challenging works while taking care of student needs? George Bernard Shaw infuses classical, rhetorical devices into his plays, creating speeches that are at once strikingly modern and yet textually rigorous. Though not as complex as Shakespeare, Shaw's ability to craft passionate, fun speeches on nuanced issues and relationships provides a wonderful bridge to studying Shakespeare. Participants will be guided through exercises in text analysis and performance that help make challenging work accessible to students. This workshop will model the process of inculcating Shavian passion and feeding forward into Shakespeare scene and soliloquy study. Facilitated by Gaye Jeffers, Associate Professor of Theatre, The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga; Evans Jarnefeldt, Assistant Professor of Theatre, Chattanooga State Community College, Professional Actor Training Program.
4:45pm-5:00pm: Recap and Dismiss

RUR and War with the Newts by Karel Capek
Published by Gollancz, October 2011 as part of the SF Masterworks series
Introduction by Adam Roberts
352 pages
Review by Mark Yon
Karel Capek's name may not be known that well outside the Czech Republic, though he has the distinction of being the originator of one of SF's most endearing tropes – the word 'robot'.
In this re-release we have two tales: the first is a script for Capek's play which introduced us to that term, Rossum's Universal Robots, or R.U.R., first published in 1920.
The second is a traditional novel. The War of the Newts was written in 1936, and though it may seem quite different to R.U.R., does have some common themes.
To be honest, RUR's reputation beyond that of creating and using the word 'robot' is fairly unimpressive. What is interesting though is the fact that the robots in the play are not metal nor manufactured, as you would perhaps expect these days (and the cover rather misleadingly portrays), but are rather what we would these days call bio-engineered: that is, they are biological, created by biotechnology and, unlike R2-D2 or C-3PO, can be seen as human in appearance, even mistaken for human.
There are debates, as in Shelley's Frankenstein, on the morality of such creatures and Science versus God along the way.
Other than that, the tale is one that is typical of its time, that of robots revolting in order to escape their slave-like existence whilst advocating freedom and independence. This was a common story-trope with the metal robots in the early days of pulp SF, as people felt intimidated by new technology. Asimov wrote his Robot stories as an alternate response to this idea of robots running amok.
Echoes of Metropolis (film, released 1927) are here.
War of the Newts follows a similar theme in that there is a revolution against oppression. This time the tale deals with an alien subspecies, an intelligent sea-dwelling race of newts, who rebel against slavery and exploitation and end up in a global war against the humans.
Though the book is titled War with the Newts, most of it deals with how the Newts were first met, how they became servile to humans and what led to the war, which actually only take up the last thirty-five pages or so. However when it does happen the war is both sad and weirdly affecting in that such catastrophic events are recounted in such a matter-of-fact manner. The last two sentences of the novel describes what must have been a common feeling at the time of writing: "And then?" "…Then I don't know what comes next." (page 349.)
The interesting thing for me here were the alien newts, who actually come across as tolerant, rational and quite sympathetic, perhaps even more so than the overbearing humans. The newts are clearly put into a situation that they feel is intolerable and the ensuing consequences are unfortunate but necessary. It may be that there are parallels here to Capek's own life situation at the time. As a citizen of the Czech Republic in the mid-thirties they were experiencing the threat of Nazi occupation (which did occur in 1939.) It may not be that far-fetched to see the allegorical similarity between the Czech 'newts' and the Nazi 'humans' in this dystopian satire. Capek sadly died on December 25, 1938, of double pneumonia, shortly after part of Czechoslovakia was annexed by Nazi Germany.
All in all, an interesting read, though a book definitely of two halves. Capek is often ranked with Aldous Huxley and George Orwell. Though much less well known, on the strength of this it's not hard to see why.
