Antiprotons excel at cancer treatment
Nov 3, 2006
A beam of antiprotons should be four times better at destroying tumours than current proton-beam therapies, claim physicists at CERN. The discovery could lead to new cancer-treatment techniques that minimize the damage done to healthy tissue surrounding tumours (Radiother. Oncol. 2006 doi:10.1016/j.radonc.2006.09.012).
Proton-beam therapy is a very effective way of destroying tumour cells in the body because protons deposit most of their energy at a precise depth in human tissue. This depth is a function of proton energy, which can be set to minimize the energy absorbed by healthy tissue surrounding a tumour.
Antiprotons should deliver the same precision with an added benefit -- when an antiproton nears the end of its range, it will annihilate with a neutron or a proton, depositing additional energy and boosting the radiation dose delivered to the target area. Some of the fragments produced from this energy release could go on to destroy adjacent tumour cells.
Researchers working on CERN's Antiproton Cell Experiment (ACE) have confirmed this hypothesis by irradiating hamster cells suspended in gelatine with beams of protons or antiprotons. The researchers then measured the fraction of surviving cells after irradiation as a function of depth.
The team compared cell survival within the target region (the tumour) to cell survival in the area in front of the target region (healthy tissue). They concluded that antiproton annihilation kills nearly four times as many target cells than proton therapy, while inflicting the same damage on healthy tissue.
"We have taken the first step towards a novel treatment for cancer," said Michael Doser, who is a physicist at CERN. "The results show that antiprotons are four times as effective as protons at terminating live cells. Although it still has to be compared with other existing methods, it is a breakthrough in this area of investigation. "
ACE spokesperson Michael Holzscheiter of the US company Pbar Labs LLC explained: "To achieve the same level of damage to cells at the target area one needs four times fewer antiprotons than protons. This significantly reduces the damage to the cells along the entrance channel of the beam for antiprotons compared with protons."
While initial results are certainly favourable, the researchers admit that clinical applications are still a decade or more away. For starters, antiprotons can only be produced using high-energy particle accelerators. And currently, CERN's Antiproton Decelerator is the only facility in the world that can generate an antiproton beam of sufficiently low energy and high quality for this type of application.

Man dies after drive-by shooting outside Fort Worth nightclub
A man who was shot outside the Picante Sports Cantina in Fort Worth early Friday morning has died, police said.
The victim, who has not yet been identified, was shot about 1 a.m. outside the club, at 2108 E. Rosedale St. near U.S. Highway 287.
Police say the victim and another man were involved in an argument inside the club, which carried out into the parking lot. As the men were arguing, a white SUV with multiple people inside drove by firing several rounds.
The victim managed to walk away with a gun shot wound to his chest and leg, but then collapsed at a gas station just east of the club, where he was discovered by police.
He was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital in serious condition, where he later died.
Police located an SUV matching the description, but a spokeswoman for the Fort Worth Police Department said that at this point no arrests have been made and they do not know if the shooting is related to the initial argument.
Homicide detectives have taken over the investigation.

|Welsh: Rhosili

Coordinates: 51°34′07″N 4°17′13″W / 51.56856°N 4.28690°W
Rhossili (Welsh: Rhosili) is a small village and community on the southwestern tip of the Gower Peninsula[1] in Swansea. It is within an area designated as the first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the United Kingdom. The village has a community council and is part of the Gower parliamentary constituency, and the Gower electoral ward.
Origin of name[edit]
Rhossili probably gets its name in part from the Welsh word for moorland, rhos. The second element in the name may be a reference to a Saint Sulien or St. Sili, but details are not clear. Certainly the present Norman church is dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin. Inside there is a memorial to Edgar Evans who was the first to perish on the Terra Nova Expedition on the return from the South Pole.
There was a local tradition that there had been an earlier, pre medieval village complete with church closer to the sea which had been abandoned after "besanding" in the 14th century. A storm and subsequent excavation of newly exposed remains in the Warren (an area of sand dunes to the north of the present village) in 1980 helped to confirm the truth of this.
Despite its relatively remote position, Rhossili is a popular tourist destination: the views from the headland and the Down are panoramic; several pleasant walks begin, end, or pass through the village; Iron Age remains are found on Rhossili Down; and the 4 mile (6.4 km) long beach attracts surfers, particularly at the Llangennith (northern) end.
The prominent wreck of the Helvetia, which ran aground in Rhossili Bay in November 1887, bears witness to the challenging sea conditions.
Rhossili Bay[edit]
Rhossili Bay curves along an arc running northwards from the village. The sandy beach is three miles (5 km) long and is backed with sand dunes. Locals refer to the beach as Llangennith Sands. Behind the beach just north of the village is Rhossili Down with the highest point on the Gower Peninsula, the Beacon (193 metres), and a number of prehistoric remains. It is between Rhossili Down and the beach proper that the Warren is found.
At the southern end of the Bay is the small tidal island called Worm's Head. At the north is Burry Holms. These islands are accessible at low tide only. Also at low tide, it is possible to see the remains of several shipwrecks, wood from the wreck of the Helvetia being the most prominent when looking north from Rhossili. Worms Head consists of two islands, Inner and Outer Head. Outer Head reaches 56 metres in height (184 feet), Inner head 47 metres (154 feet).
Rhossili Bay featured in the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games, a youth choir began a cappella performances of "Bread of Heaven" live on the beach with was broadcast at the Olympic Stadium.[2] The bay has been used as the setting of New Earth in the sci-fi show Doctor Who and the bay including the Old Rectory was used in Torchwood: Miracle Day. In 2014, it was voted the UK's number one beach, third best in Europe, and 9th best in the world, by TripAdvisor users.[3][4]
Fall Bay[edit]
Fall Bay is one of the most remote and hardest to reach beaches on the Gower. The beach is never crowded due to its remoteness. There is no beach visible at high tide. The beach is very popular with surfers. At very low tide, it is possible to walk over from the beach to Mewslade Bay. The beach is reachable via a path which passes Rhossili village hall. It continues over fields and many stiles and has a steep final descent. The cliff path leads east to Mewslade Bay or westwards towards the Worm's Head and Rhossili Bay.
Famous citizens[edit]
- Edgar Evans,[5] Antarctic explorer (a memorial tablet can be seen in the parish church)[6]
- Gary Ley, writer[7]
- Dylan Thomas the Welsh poet
National Trust[edit]
The National Trust owns and protects much land on the Gower Peninsula. The Trust operates a visitor centre near the Warren, the Down, Worm's Head, Rhossili beach and coastal cliffs. Scenes from Torchwood: Miracle Day were filmed at the National Trust's Old Rectory cottage in Rhossili Bay.[8][9][10]
Rhossili Bay is not normally appropriate for overnight stays by visiting boats as the bay is West facing, relatively shallow and renowned as a surfing beach. It may however offer good shelter for boats in Easterly and Southerly winds - for all other wind directions it should be regarded as a no-go area. It is probably one of the few beaches that offers good shelter from Easterly winds in the Bristol Channel.
At the appropriate time of the year, the areas of both Worm's Head and Burry Holms are renowned for the good Sea Bass fishing. Worm's Head can be seen to attract many small leisure fishing vessels during the summer months. Fishing from the shore is extremely popular along both the north and south sides of the Loughor estuary to the west of Burry Holms.
Skinny dipping[edit]
On 19 June 2011, almost four hundred people attempted to break the world record for the largest number of people skinny dipping at one time in the sea at Rhossili.[11]

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."
Interesting take...........and true.
The Fool is only doing well because of the 48% who vote color and hate the people who work to feed them!
The vote choice was:
Col A....sit home and collect
Col B....A Job
What about all those Republicans who lost their homes in the latest hurricane? A good deal of those who find themselves in dire circumstances (they certainly didn't CHOOSE to lose their homes/jobs/health) are Republicans.
How true it is, and Disney Corp is helping these fools

Episode 19 Transcript
[orchestral fanfare]
Coming up on "Life (Part 2)," can Baby Boomers make it cool to be a grandparent? And later, a visionary doctor reinvents medical care for Boomers and their aging parents. Plus, NPR's Juan Williams explores the mystery of the ages. Is he middle-aged or just old? All coming up on "Life (Part 2)."
(woman) Major funding for "Life (Part 2)" was provided by The Atlantic Philanthropies-engaging many to improve the lives of and achieve health and economic security for older adults. And by MetLife Foundation-- celebrating the wisdom, talent, and experience of older adults. MetLife Foundation proudly supports "Life (Part 2)."
[bass, & plucked strings play in playful rhythm; bright in tone]
Welcome to "Life (Part 2)," I'm Robert Lipsyte, and I'm still trying to figure out my role as a grandparent. So far it seems to be mostly grandiose parenting. You parachute in for quality time, make the little kids crazy with treats, then you slip off to let their parents, your kids, clean them up and calm them down. Cool! But the hard part is when you realize that your descendants are being raised by a different playbook than the one you used to raise their parents. There are new rules; meals are now on demand, and more elaborate explanations. You can't just say, "Because I said so." And certain words are verboten, like "no." So I gnash my teeth while biting my tongue and vent my frustration with my wife, Grandma Lois, who prefers to be called Granola. She seems more open to letting Generation X and Generation Next have it their way. But what's my role? The wise elder, dispensing advice whether invited or not? Or just shut up and lend a hand when called. I've talked to more experienced grandparents and they tell me it's like growing up. You have to just let it happen, but stay alert. I've had my moments though. When he was 4, Alfred said to me, "Gramps," that's my name for myself, the rough and ready codger, "Gramps, why are your teeth yellow?" And I said, "That's so they match my brown shirt." His parents didn't like that explanation. But Alfred and I loved it; we howled with laughter! I may be finding my role after all. And now I'm about to learn a lot more about that role. Iris Cornelius is a psychologist with years of experience helping families cope with inheritance and other thorny multigenerational issues, which must have come in handy when her mother, daughter and granddaughter, all moved into her house. What does Allan Zullo know about being a grandparent? Well, Allan and his wife wrote the book. "The Boomer's Guide to Grandparenting," which tells us, among other facts, that the average age of a first-time grandparent is 48. Joshua Coleman is a Senior Fellow with the Council on Contemporary Families and the author of... Welcome everyone, to "Life (Part 2)." The reason I have assembled you here today is to help me with my issues of being a grandparent. Josh, while I'm not having trouble with my grown children, I do feel that it's kind of a delicate dance that while physically grandparenting is easier, emotionally, it sometimes seems to take more finesse than parenting.
(Joshua Coleman) Well it's true, we have to understand that there's been a radical shift in the relationships, not only between grandparents and grandchildren, but between parents and children. So if we looked at what parents wanted from children in say the 1920's with the parenting surveys, what parents wanted from their children was that they wanted them to be respectful and not to fear them, they wanted them to be conforming, upstanding members of society. And what today's parents want from their children is that they want their love, and they don't necessarily assume that they're entitled to it, and they want them to be independent, autonomous thinkers. So the quality has radically changed and that strongly affects the way that parents relate to their adult children.
(Robert Lipsyte) I mean, the Boomers are becoming grandparents now. Some of them at an earlier age than they are probably ready to think of themselves as old. They're going to be different.
(Allan Zullo) Oh yeah, in so many ways. First of, Boomer grandparents I think are more youthful looking and acting. They're wealthier, they're more educated. But also, one of the problems that they're having is all these generations that they've got to deal with. Oftentimes, this is the first generation of grandparents, where their parents are alive in many cases. So you've got the parents, then you've got your spouse, you've got your job, most Boomer grandparents are still working. Then you've got your adult children and then the grandchildren. Where are you going to put your time and effort. This is what all grandparents, regardless of age, has to consider. What role are you going to play?
(Joshua Coleman) That is a source of potential conflict between adult children and their parents, where the adult children want the grandparents to spend sometimes much more time with the grandkids than the grandparents may actually have to spend. And there is the potential source of conflict.
(Robert Lipsyte) Well, that's my problem, doctor, exactly. [all laugh] My son is a writer and a teacher and I'm projecting, I'm projecting, but I think of him saying, "Okay, Dad, you're over, your time's gone; I'm the one who's really got to make it now. I want you to come in and take care of Alfred and Squidge." Now this may be just my guilt, but I think it's out there.
(Joshua Coleman) Oh, it's completely out there. It's a very common tension and both generations have to be sensitive to the other. Our generation has to be sensitive to the enormous economic pressures that our kids are under, and they have to be sensitive to the fact that our children are largely raised, so this is the beginning of our having much more leisure time that we want to spend using that leisure time.
(Allan Zullo) But you've got to understand also, I think, my wife and I thought by the time we were 60, or we were in the late 50's, we would be traveling the world and enjoying all this other stuff. And we have found that all our free time that is spent traveling, involves the grandchildren. We are either going to see the grandchildren, or we're on a trip together. It's not what we thought it was going to be. And you know what, it's okay, we're having fun. Actually now, with my 12-year-old grandson and 10-year-old grandson, my jumpshot is getting better and better, and my curve ball is getting really good too!
(Robert Lipsyte) You're not going to be bigger than them for much longer!
(Allan Zullo) So it keeps us young and so much more vibrant.
(Iris Cornelius) Well and I think it's very exciting. My grandparents never played any games with me. With my grandmother, because both my grandfathers were deceased, I could help, I could help with whatever they were doing. And they would oversee what I was doing. But it was not the interactive kind of style, and I really like to be active and I like the interaction with the grandchildren as well as with the parents.
(Joshua Coleman) I think that's a really good point, and I think it brings up something that's really important, and that is that we're all probably a lot closer to our adult children than our parents may have been to us. And part of that is because of this democratic family forum that really took root in the '60's and has continued, where there isn't such a clear division between parent and child. When I was growing up in the '60's, my parents were foreign. They listened to Bing Crosby and Lawrence Welk, the way they dressed, I would never, ever look like them. Whereas my kids dress like I do, they listen to the same thing. My grandson was in the car the other day, he says, "I want to listen to Madonna." I'm like, "Madonna!" But his mother, my daughter, grew up listening to Madonna,
we listened to it in my car.
(Robert Lipsyte) Is all of this positive?
(Allan Zullo) Oh yeah.
(Robert Lipsyte) There must be issues of competing grandparents, financially, love, all the big ones.
(Allan Zullo) One person was complaining to me that the other set of grandparents are very wealthy, and were buying the kid everything and lived nearby. They live a thousand miles away, and they said, "How do you compete against that?" And I said, "You have to find something that is special, some connection with them that only you have with them." But with the other set of grandparents that we have, we wouldn't necessarily have been friends because we didn't have anything in common. And what we did, we would go out to dinner without the adult children or the grandchildren and just get to learn, know them, understand them, and over time...
(Robert Lipsyte) And plot against them.
(Allan Zullo) [laughs] Hey, I have a strategy, yeah. And over time, we've really developed a very good rapport.
(Robert Lipsyte) Ah, a kind of last-but-not-least thought, money. Iris, what you call the transition of wealth, if there is actual wealth, that's an interesting dynamic within a family.
(Iris Cornelius) It is a very interesting dynamic. Part of the work that I do is helping families make that transition from one generation to the next, with their business and also with their wealth. And it's an area in which control can be very strong, fear can be very strong, and people can feel very manipulated.
(Robert Lipsyte) Unpack control, the idea that you're dangling the promise of this money if you do this.
(Iris Cornelius) In order to get this money...
(Robert Lipsyte) I want access to the grandkid, I want this and that.
(Iris Cornelius) Yes, and here it's usually about how you behave. I want you to behave in such and such a way. These are the kinds of things I expect. And that in order to get this, this is what you have to do. Now I think within yourself you have to acknowledge that,
and then I think it makes sense, if you have overstepped your boundaries with them, to make some sort of statement to them about it.
(Robert Lipsyte) Do you have some do's and don't's for me?
(Allan Zullo) Don't give advice unless it's asked. And I know that's really hard, and we all fail at that, because you see something, and you say, "I made that same mistake when I was a young parent," and so you have to just start, just let it go. We encourage new grandparents, read what the adult children, the new parents are reading. There is so much information. When we were raising our kids, we had Dr. Spock, one book, hooray! Now, it's just overload, you OD on this stuff. So read what they're reading or find out what they're doing so you're at least on the same page. It doesn't mean you agree with it.
(Joshua Coleman) I think the single most important thing to do is to have a strong relationship with your adult child. And that often means working on your relationship in ways that are often uncomfortable for most parents to work on. And part of that is going back and looking at the mistakes that you made with your own child and being honest about those. I was thinking, that authenticity goes a long way. It goes a huge way, particularly because I work with a lot of alienated parents, and it's often the hardest thing for parents to do is to say I really blew it with you as a kid, I really made this mistake, I was too harsh, I was too involved in my work, I was too critical. You get a lot of respect from a kid that way and it really strengthens your bond.
(Iris Cornelius) It opens up the conversations because then they can tell you how they're making mistakes. But sometimes the children are trying to impress you with how well they're doing. So I think that to be authentic is absolutely critical. I also think it's very important to give praise when you see it, absolutely called for. Too often, appreciation is not given in our society, not just in families, in any place.
(Allan Zullo) I think that's a really good point.
(Robert Lipsyte) I think the bottom line really is that grandparents and grandchildren can bond because they have a common enemy. [all laugh]. Thank you all so very much for joining us on "Life (Part 2)."
(Robert Lipsyte) Baby Boomers want to reinvent everything, from grandparenting to their relationship with the medical profession. So it makes sense that they're exploring new and empowering ways for older patients to make enlightened and humane decisions about healthcare late in life. That's good news for Baby Boomers and their parents. One of those leading the way is Dennis McCullough. He's a Harvard-trained medical doctor and the author of "My Mother, Your Mother, Embracing Slow Medicine, the Compassionate Approach to Caring for Your Aged Loved Ones." Dr. McCullough, welcome to "Life (Part 2)." At the heart of your vision is slow medicine. What is slow medicine?
(Dennis McCullough) Slow medicine is about relationships, time, and trust. And those are 3 elements of care that have been slowly squeezed out of the healthcare system over time, and yet it's exactly what older people need to wrestle with the kinds of complexities that they face, and their families need that too. So it's not simply time in the sense of every doctor's appointment being longer, but it's having things play out over a longer period of time, whether it's discussing where your mother might need to relocate to, when the driver's license should be curtailed in some way, or the complexities of a decision around let's say, chemotherapy or treatment of Alzheimer's or treatment of pneumonia in the context of advanced dementia. It's amazing how long I felt it took for me to begin to really understand the problems of older people as a physician. I think I really had to hit my-- almost 50. And I think that is one of the issues that we're going to face in terms of getting physicians who are going to be good physicians for older people and their families. But it doesn't happen quickly. You have to acquire a certain kind of experience, I think, in complex situations before you can do it reasonably well.
(Robert Lipsyte) What I don't understand is this dichotomy. On the one hand, these younger doctors, well, the old crock is going to be going anyway. Why knock yourself out? But on the other hand, so ready to do all the tests, do everything. Are they practicing on old people, or is it the culture of medicine to use technology instead of compassionate care?
(Dennis McCullough) Well, I think it's the culture of medicine to do that and part of it is the business of medicine too. It's not just the culture. So there are two very, very strong forces. And we've moved away from more reflective practice of medicine because technologies now can elucidate things so quickly in some instances, we tend not to think that spending time listening to patients and families and understanding what the actual environment and the dynamics of somebody's life are and what they contribute to our understanding of what might best be done.
(Robert Lipsyte) How do we crack through, I mean, trapped in this system, how does a nervous, caring family kind of crack through?
(Dennis McCullough) Well, I think you have to really learn to be assertive, because the power differential in the practice of medicine is very, very large. And even doctors who write about being patients point out how disempowered you feel as a patient dealing with the healthcare system. So I think one of the things that can be very useful, is recognizing that one way to right a power differential is to have more people on your side of the table, on the more side of the desk. So one of the simple things I say for families to do is to show up with an older parent. And it doesn't just have to be one child, but another pair of ears, another pair of eyes watching what's happening in a consultation, makes the doctor, I think, a better doctor.
(Robert Lipsyte) And also more people in the hospital room as well. I think that's very true.
(Dennis McCullough) It's a message that a family gives to the healthcare system that we care and love our parent enough to show up. And you can't handle it by telephone. There's a need to be there, to sort of express that, to be a part of it, to have your feelings engaged so that doctors, nurses realize that the consequences, the ripples of the effect of an illness, and the suddenness of, what do we do now? That you can sense the emotional part of that for the family, then you respond to that, I think, as a doctor.
(Robert Lipsyte) I was fascinated the way you took me through the stations of your mother, Bertha's decline, from stability to eventually at the other end, leaving and legacy. It seemed that one of the key moments was a station you called compromise, where we begin to really get the picture of what's happening to our mother.
(Dennis McCullough) And that's the station at which there's the most rebalancing of a relationship. The first station that I talk about is stability, where you feel as if you're intruding into a parent's life by saying well, maybe I should go to a doctor's visit with you, or maybe I should be involved with understanding what your medications are. When you get to compromise, the penny drops and you say my mother isn't going to be able to do this by herself, we have to figure out how to be supportive and present for her without undermining her autonomy. But this rebalancing is happening. We are now, as adult children, having to do some very delicate work in reordering the relationship and there's a kind of interdependency also that goes on, because if you're not doing that work well, it's harder for the parent.
(Robert Lipsyte) Is it fair to say that the key in so much of this according to this wonderful book your wrote is not to be rushed, sleeping on it, taking the opportunity to think about the decision you're going to be making-- but that's tough.
(Dennis McCullough) Well, that's the way we operate though. And older people operate that way even more as time goes by, that there's some really nice research showing that older people actually make very good decisions, but they need more time to make it because they have more things to run by to relate to the decision-- what happened to their friends, what happened to their parents. You see all of this reflected in the fullness of your life.
(Robert Lipsyte) How do you balance quality of life versus quantity of life?
(Dennis McCullough) By looking very carefully and talking with and listening to a person to find out what it means for that individual. And for some people who seem to be markedly disabled when they're old, they still have things that they love so much during the day, you have to find that. Maybe it's the contact with the nursing staff, maybe it's the telephone call that comes from a daughter or a son once a day. So quality of life we can't easily define for somebody else. They have to define it for us. And what that takes is sort of probing and listening.
(Robert Lipsyte) But I mean, very often this is going to be a family choice as well as yours, I mean the ugly term of pulling the plug, it's something that the family, the stereotypical Boomer son or daughter is going to have to talk to you about.
(Dennis McCullough) And families can't do it on their own entirely, because the depth of a family's experience around aging and loss is for all of us, that's so, it's sort of so special and intense. You need to be talking with people who have been there before. What's tough for a family, I think, is to be told, well it's all your decision. Without a physician or somebody who can say we've been here before many times; we know what likely is going to evolve from this. We can't predict everything, but we can be fairly sure that we're on the way toward the end of the trajectory.
(Robert Lipsyte) Do you have any tips, any specific things that I should be thinking about right now, not only to help aged relatives, but for myself?
(Dennis McCullough) Hang around a little bit with people who are older who you spot and say there's a kind of person I'd like to get a sense of what they think about, how they're addressing the sort of complexities that are coming in their own life, the medical problems they're having. I had some just wonderful mentors who were patient friends that I hung around with and sort of listened to, and I think and much of my book comes from those stories.
(Robert Lipsyte) Again, within this insurance-driven, with all due respect, greedy doctor, demanding patient, business model, industrial medical complex, how does the individual crack through without all this help?
(Dennis McCullough) You have to join up somehow with other people. I don't think you can take this part of the journey on your own. And the simplest thing is really having some intimates, people who you trust to share the questions that you're wrestling with at a particular time. And I think that's the difficult transition for all of us, to go from being very, very independent and autonomous and learn how to be intimate and sharing as we get older, because we're going to need those advocates who understand us when we can't function on our own.
(Robert Lipsyte) Once I get to do that, I'm going to make sure I have an over-50-year-old geriatrician who has read your book. Thank you so much for joining us on "Life (Part 2)."
(Dennis McCullough) Thank you, Bob.
(Robert Lipsyte) Juan Williams is a Senior Correspondent at National Public Radio and a regular contributor to Fox News. He won an Emmy for TV documentary writing and is author of the best-selling book, "Eyes on the Prize." But he still has no clear idea of whether in his 6th decade, he's middle-aged or just plain old.
(Juan Williams) Here's the delusion from my youth. When I was say 14 and I met someone who was 20, I considered them really old. Today at 54, I can tell you that's crazy. Anybody 20 is very young! So now I have a new problem. I'm trying to figure out how old is really and truly old. As you can guess, there's a strong personal investment in this question. I want to know if I'm already old. So when I go to a Tina Turner or Paul Simon concert and notice all the graybeards in the crowd, I wonder to myself, how come all these old people are here? And are they looking at me and wondering the same thing? Sometimes, when I first meet people, I ask them, "How old are you?" Women hate this-- they think I'm saying they are old. Actually, it has nothing to do with them. I'm trying to figure this out. Is this what I look like to strangers? You know the joke, and it is a joke, about 50 being the new 30. Well yes, we have better healthcare, but at 50, a twisted ankle takes forever to heal, and you still can't find your damn reading glasses, no matter how many you buy. But what is old in an era when American men and women regularly live into their 70's and 80's? So am I middle-aged, or am I old? At 54, I know this: there are lots of hot women, even after menopause-- no joke. And here's my delusion-free conclusion about whether I'm middle-aged or just old. I am older, but I'm a young old man. Not until I'm 75 will I happily agree with any 14 year-old who says, "Hey Juan, you're old!"
(Robert Lipsyte) Actually Juan, I think 54-year-olds are still a little wet behind the ears. For now, that's it for "Life (Part 2)." Thanks for joining us. I'm Robert Lipsyte. See you next time, older and better.

West Des Moines Police are investigating whether criminal charges are warranted in the case of a Farm Bureau employee behaving badly.
Officers were called to the organization's 5400 University Drive office Monday to respond to a criminal mischief compliant.
A Farm Bureau vice president told authorities that one of the agency's employees had been caught on video camera urinating on the office chairs of four female co-workers. The suspect, a 59-year-old man from Des Moines, was fired the same day police were informed of the incident.
The man had worked in the organization's information technology department and had access to all the company's computers and the employee database, Farm Bureau officials told the police.
According to police documents, the man would look up employee photos in the agency's database. He "would pick out the attractive females and then on off-hours, he would come into work, go to their desk, and urinate on their chairs."
Employees first started complaining about stains on their chairs in October 2011. Surveillance cameras were installed in February.
The value of the damaged chairs was estimated at $4,500.

Game preview: Lightning @ Canadiens
CANADIENS (9-8-1) vs. LIGHTNING (12-5-0)
The Canadiens go in search of a second consecutive victory when they square off against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night at the Bell Centre.
On Sunday evening, the Habs snapped a four-game winless streak by handily defeating the New York Islanders 4-2. The Galchenyuk-Eller-Gallagher line combined for three goals and eight points, while Carey Price made 24 saves.
Gallagher's team-leading eighth goal of the season came when the Edmonton, AB native beat Isles goaltender Kevin Poulin on a partial breakaway. Lars Eller, meanwhile, scored for the first time in 12 games. P.K. Subban added an assist on the play to up his point tally to 17 on the season. The reigning Norris Trophy winner also logged a team-leading 25:34 of ice time over the course of 26 shifts.
If everything goes according to plan, look for Canadiens forward Daniel Briere to return to active duty against the Lightning after being sidelined with a concussion since October 19. Travis Moen has the flu and is listed as day-to-day.
The Lightning had won four games in a row before dropping a 3-0 decision to the Bruins on Monday afternoon. Head coach Jon Cooper's team is off to a stellar 12-5-0 start and currently lead the atlantic division. Tampa Bay will, however, have to overcome serious leg injuries to Brian Lee (knee, out indefinitely), Mattias Ohlund (knee, out for the season) and Steven Stamkos (broken right tibia, out indefinitely). The former Rocket Richard Trophy winner crashed into the net during the tilt against the Bruins and was carried off the ice on a stretcher.
Without their leading scorer, the Lightning's other key forwards will need to step up. Veteran Martin St-Louis has 16 points in 16 games, while Alex Killorn is having a solid sophomore campaign with 12 points during that span. Sami Salo anchors Tampa Bay's defense corps alongside Matt Carle and Victor Hedman. Goaltender Ben Bishop, who is off to a career-best 11-2 start to the season, will likely be in goal for the visitors.
Tuesday's game will be the first of four this season between the Canadiens and the Lightning. The Habs have won the last four tilts against Tampa Bay dating back to February 2012.
Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EST.

MRAs: Most inept propagandists ever?
Someone posted this image in the comments at A Voice for Men. As far as I can figure it, it depicts brave MRAs pulling down the allegedly evil Violence Against Women Act, which for some reason is represented by the Venus of Willendorf. Because women are fat? Or is just feminists who are fat? Or battered women?
Is every supposed MRA cause really just an excuse to talk shit about women?

No, NWOslave is right. A woman legally killed me a little while ago. That's why I haven't been around much.
Sorry about that. I really should go reverse it but instead I will eat some peanuts. Dieting sucks by the way.
I am forced to conclude that Holly is in some sort of quantum state, where she both is and is not falsely accusing someone of rape.
I'm in the quantum state of:
"I can attack this woman for being a false rape accuser!"
"I can attack this woman for being a rape survivor!"
Too NWO, both of those possibilities are so juicy he couldn't pick just one.
Uh, emotional abuse ISN'T A GENDER THING, NWO. There is no statistical difference between the number of men and the number of women emotionally abused.
And, yes, EVERYONE should refrain from, say, using the fear of your disapproval and anger and having one's identity outed to manipulate someone into doing whatever you say and never disagreeing with you.
Also, I don't think sodomy should be taught in schools. Being cruel to poor people and rude to guests, while probably making you successful in life, would make a TERRIBLE lesson plan.
"Maybe that's why you advocate sodomy being taught in schools. Breaking the will of young boys will surely make them more docile when they reach adulthood."
See, here, 'sodomy' breaks the will of young boys. Elsewhere NWO will argue that being gay makes you a pedophile rapist.
Stay tuned to the NWOshow for more magical properties of buttsex. Where 'coherency' is a dirty word.
I wanna see what he thinks sodomy is! Hint: not what it is in the Bible.
I don't think he'd ever come out and say it, but I'm starting to suspect that the only thing NWO sees as rape is when dudes have sex with each other. Even if it's consensual.
Yeah, he'd still blame women for THAT too. Under the reasoning that women force men to have together to humiliate them or something.
Seriously, NWO? Fucking seriously?
I would say more but I am on my breaking point already (my roommate's latest bullshit of the day is claiming that "[My] talking about [her] while [she's] not in the room" is somehow far worse and "more personal" than the racism my other roommate faced at work yesterday ("Could that nice white boy in the kitchen [not my roommate] make my sandwich?")) and I'm sure the shit I would like to say to you would earn me a banning of my own.
Eat shit.
The "shit I say about her while she's not in the room," for reference, was asking if she was home. Apparently I have also talked shit about her behind her back about her not washing her hands after using the bathroom, even though I haven't, and if I had, it would have been MONTHS ago.
Wow, Lauralot, you really are in an unenviable housing situation.
It doesn't help that the good roommate, for some reason, decided to show me the horrible one's Skype rant about me. The highlights was, and I quote: " I seriously want to punch her so hard in the mouth everything about her makes me want to punch her including the sound of her voice."
Yeah, fucking try it.
Damn Lauralot. These people suck.
It's so nice to see that our trolls are still the hairy assholes of humanity. I'm glad David's not in the mood for your bullshit today, NWO.
Lord knows I'm not. We had to put our big old Tobycat down today, so please do send cat videos.
Damn, Lauralot, that's really shitty. *hug*
…and I seriously don't know how a man like NWO can live for so long without, like, exploding.
Poor old Tobycat.😦 *hugs*
I'm sorry to hear that hellkell. It is hard to lose a pet, no matter how it happens.
Hellkell – I'm sorry about your kitty.
Lauralot – Wow. Is the "Throw this jerk out the house." option available at all? No one should have to put up with that shit.
Lauralot, I am sorry to hear that. I hope you can get out of there soon, or get rid of the gross roommate.
Kitties vs. Daleks
David, thanks and I hope your cat is OK. Toby went fast–we didn't know there was a problem until Tuesday, when we noticed that his normal not doing much was taking place in a different spot and that he wasn't eating. The vet told us not to beat ourselves up, because cats are really, really good at compensating for and hiding any illness.
I hope your kitty feels better, David.😦
Unfortunately, there's no way of throwing her out. But I am graduating/leaving the apartment in May, and the other roommate is my best friend, so it's not completely awful.
Hellkell, I'm so sorry about your cat. And David, best wishes to you and your kitty.
After the blood tests came back, turns out she has hyperthyroidism, which thankfully is treatable.
That's what my kitty had. She did well with medication for a good long while, but then she developed severe anemia, which may or may not have been related.
I hope your kitty does okay.😦
When my cat wasn't eating, the vet recommended chicken baby food. Toward the end it was the only thing she'd eat.
Lauralot and hellkell, so sorry about your respective situations. And David, hope the kitty does better and starts eating. My own sick kitten is now on the road to recovery, thanks to antibiotics! (And they will only eat the stinkiest of stinky fish-based foods!)
More roomba fun
Thank you all for the condolences and videos. Now I have a burning need to get a Roomba, just to see what the remaining cats would do.
And just one more (no Roomba!):
Lauralot:😦. What a terrible, unfair roommate situation. My support and sympathies.
hellkell: I'm so sorry you had to say goodbye to your cat. I hope you and the other kitties are doing okay.
David: I'm glad it's treatable. It breaks your heart when they won't eat, but I'm sure you'll find something kitty will take. She's lucky you're taking such good care of her.
Sorry to hear about Toby, hellkell. *hugs*
David, have you tried Weruva in the pouches (the tuna in pumpkin one seems to appeal to almost all cats), or the Fancy Feast appetisers? Those were the only foods my cat would eat towards the end, and they're both very wet too so that helps with the dehydration issue.
If kitty likes stinky fish foods you might want to try Tiki Cat too if you haven't already.
Wow, it's like NWO was saving up all the bile and just couldn't hang onto it anymore. Ugly, ugly.
Hellkell, belated condolences, and David, I hope your kitty gets well.
I don't know about all cats, but my roommate's cat loooves vanilla ice cream. Likes it more than tuna. (It's a little gross sometimes–I'll set a cup of ice cream on the counter, turn around for a second, and then the cat will have her face buried in my ice cream. Which is sorta cute, but man, that's the same tongue she licks her butt with.)
It might just be that cat's weird quirk, and I'm sure it's not at all nutritionally appropriate for a cat diet, but it's something to consider if the cat won't touch fishy foods, just to get its appetite going again?
Cassandra, we tried the Tiki cat for Meg, because Lilly would bully her out of the dry food bowl, and we were both repulsed by that mess. She wouldn't eat it, and now I know what Jello with fish chunks looks like.
Yeah, David, if there some kind of treat your cat likes, might be worth a shot.
David; having 13 cats we adopted all within a year or two 15 years ago, means we've been having a number who fail to eat for various health reasons–one of the BEST products we've found to get them to eat is Purina's Fancy Feast Appetizers —
chunks of fish or meat, and gravy they love (we also have to have one of our elderly gentlemen in regularly for subcutaneous fluids which helps as well).
Good luck!
Sorry to hear about your cat, Hellkell.
And good luck with yours David, I hope she starts eating again.
My old cat's favorite thing in the world was cookies and cream ice cream. I know cats aren't supposed to be able to taste sweet things, but I don't actually believe it because, in addition to the ice cream, that cat would come running from the other side of the house any time I opened a bar of chocolate.
What the hell? They came out of a Big Little Book* to collectively hang a Venus of Willendorf cozy?
It really drives misogynists nuts that rape is starting to be taken seriously as a crime, isn't it? Even if they aren't rapists themselves, they love the idea of being able to threaten a woman with rape if she gets out of line.
Ding ding ding
NWO is a malevolent pile of rabid bat guano and I don't think he should be allowed to post anything besides kitten videos ever again.
It really drives misogynists nuts that rape is starting to be taken seriously as a crime, isn't it?
Starting to? I've seen lynching photos which suggest rape was taken seriously for quite some time.
I haven't been able to find a brand of food my kitty likes, including the grain-free ones. Does anyone have suggestions that I could try?
@IR: Not only misogynist as all get out, but racist as fuck and stone ignorant of history.
If you think lynching was solely about rape, you're supporting the KKK terrorist ideology
But why am I not surprised.
Yep, ithiliana, it's also worth noting just who was making the accusations and how they were happening even in rape accusation cases. It wasn't all that uncommon for the purported "victim" to explicitly say they were not raped and had consented, or for a person who had consented to go along only to prevent being raped and murdered themselves in addition to their lover being murdered. Rape and murder of white women who admitted to sleeping with black men as a form of social punishment is historically common in the KKK, though these de facto lynchings and gang rapes tended to be a lot less public than those perpetrated against black people and immigrants. Likewise, KKK murders of queer people and rapes of queer women tended to be fairly common but less public. Because of the way USians tend to view power relations and public-private divides, the more public lynchings tend to get counted more than the more "private" assaults and violations (including numerous assaults, rapes, and murders of black people and immigrants as well)
I realize that in my sick snotty state, I really did phrase that last paragraph poorly in a lot of ways, I apologize for that. What the bulk of it should have said was something to the affect of "there were large amounts of both public and private violence against people of color and immigrants, and there was also not an insignificant amount of private violence in regards to sexism and homophobia as well." I did not mean that the private sexist and homophobic violence outweighed either the public or private violence against people of color and immigrants. I apologize for phrasing it in a way that might have implied that.
I fully expect everyone who's criticizing Rush Limbaugh for being fat and possibly gay to now criticize Rosie O'Donnell for being fat and actually gay.
IR: I am pretty sure the KKK also objected to consensual black man/white woman sex.
Wait, first sentence was on wrong thread. >.>
katz, mine eats Wellness.
Dracula: Guys, I think I may have figured out where NWO comes up with this bullshit. He doesn't believe in equality. Not only does he not think it's desirable, he doesn't think it's possible. Like, it goes against the laws of nature or some shit.
Hate to rain on your parade, but NWO has said precisely that. One group must have it's foot on the throat of the other, and he wants the stomping gender to be male.
His "theory of escalation" is how he thinks it should be brought about. He isn't as "in the future some men will rise up if women don't bend the knee to men." He's more, "Men have to beat women into submission, because if they don't, men will themselves be beaten into submission."
He's delusional.
NWO: Ever gonna cite the passages you are so adamant about existing? The one's where yelling at women is defined as abuse, but yelling at men is made legal?
Or the section which says it's legal for women to murder men?
Didn't think so. Must be nice to go to church on a Sunday and think of all the false witness you've borne.
And I see that my trip to Calif. co-incided with the banning of another dirtbag. I"m going to miss him less than I don't miss Brandon.
Yeah, I know he's said that. I was just trying to illustrate my point, that this belief of his is the only reasonable explanation for where he gets his "facts" about the VAWA.

AVON PARK — In two county commission meetings, Dale Pflug has asked if the U.S. Air Force is flying drones outside the Avon Park Air Force Bombing Range.
"Four people have told me that they have seen drones flying over their houses. The colonel didn't debunk it, so I'm assuming it has to be somewhat of possibility," said Pflug, a former U.S. Air Force radar operator in Japan between the Korean and Vietnam conflicts.
The answer is no, Buck MacLaughlin said Thursday. Military training partners may bring drones, but they don't fly over civilian airspace.
"There are no — what the Air Force calls — remotely piloted aircraft assigned to the installation. They are not allowed in the national airspace system." MacLaughlin said.
As a lieutenant colonel, MacLaughlin was the former base commander. Now a civilian, he is the director of operations for training missions conducted at the bombing range.
Pflug asked the question last month with MacLaughlin in the audience and got no response. On Tuesday, Pflug rose again from the audience. He told MacLaughlin and current base commander Lt. Col. Paul Nielander that four citizens spotted drones near their homes in northeast Highlands County, flying noisily and low to ground.
Although he didn't inquire how high they were flying, Pflug said Thursday the drones were full-sized aircraft.
Neither MacLaughlin nor Nielander replied in the meeting, but Pflug asked the same question in the hall. He said MacLaughlin replied that training partners can use drones there. "He said they wouldn't be leaving the footprint of the bombing range itself, but there could be drones coming across from Cape Canaveral."
"I don't have any direct knowledge of operations out of Cape Canaveral," MacLaughlin said Thursday. However, Federal Aviation Administration rules prohibit drone flights. Model aircraft flights are allowed with a 400-foot ceiling, if they are away from populated areas and full-scale aircraft, and are not for business purposes.
"Many of the units that do their training here utilize those systems," MacLaughlin said. "They're mostly hand launched or shoulder launched, but as with the manned aircraft, they are required by the FAA to stay inside our restricted airspace." Drones are trucked, not flown to the base, he added, and Predator drones don't come to Avon Park.
Some drones are as small as model airplanes; some are large military aircraft. Most drones aren't shaped like civilian or military aircraft, they look experimental: the rear-engine Predator has a bulbous cabin, no windows, and tail fins under the body.
If the military isn't flying drones in civilian areas of Avon Park, what did those four people see?
"I personally don't want to cast any doubts on what people claim to see," MacLaughlin said. "There are a number of radio-controlled aircraft you can buy on Amazon like a quad copter. I do know that there is a little landing field just north of Avon Park. It may be off of County Road 17, where local radio-control airplane group flies. I've never been out there."
There are more possibilities, Pflug said: NATO training missions at the base, the National Security Agency, Homeland Security, the CIA and the county sheriff's offices.
On Thursday, Chief Deputy Mark Schrader said Highlands County Sheriff's Office doesn't have a drone.
Polk County detectives have the sort of quad-motor helicopter that can be bought at Best Buy but rarely use it, said spokeswoman Carrie Horstman.
Pflug said he doesn't have a problem with the military mission or the sheriff's office using drones.
"Not if they use them for the purpose of tracking criminals. But if they're flying over Tanglewood for no reason, now they're invading my private airspace. I have an objection to governmental surveillance of public areas."
Drones over civilian areas, Pflug said, "Represent an invasion of privacy. I'm uncomfortable, based on my own experience in the military and what I know about Homeland Security."
"If any of the local citizens have noise complaints or other concerns about military aircraft activity, they should feel free to contact the MacDill Public Affairs Office at 813-828-2215," MacLaughlin said.
What is a drone?
An airplane or helicopter and the control station, data links, telemetry, communications and navigation equipment.
The unmanned aerial vehicle is flown by a pilot with a ground control system, or self-guided through an on-board computer and communication links.
Drones are usually deployed for military operations, but also used for policing, firefighting, and nonmilitary security work such as surveillance of pipelines.
UAVs should perform missions which are too dull, dirty and dangerous for manned aircraft, Brian P. Tice wrote in 1991 for Airpower Journal.
The history of drones dates back to the mid-1800s when Austrians floated unmanned balloons with bombs to attack Venice.
In World War I, the Dayton-Wright Airplane Company developed a pilotless aerial torpedo that would drop and explode at a preset time.
The first full-sized remotely piloted vehicle was developed by film star and model airplane enthusiast Reginald Denny in 1935.
In World War II, drones were used to train antiaircraft gunners, and Nazi Germany produced drone missiles.
