Discussion in 'Junior League & Tournament Talk' started by sliderman365, Oct 1, 2009.
whose going to win it for boys 14s,16s and 18s?
when is it????
It is in Palm Desert, CA next weekend, use to be Wilson...now Dunlop is the main sponsor.
oooh ok thanks... some good talent will be there so it will be a great tourney...
for B16s Mackenzie Mcdonald or Corey Robinson
Corey Robinson? never heard of that kid whose is his best wins?
i have to say watch for Nolan bauer Cameron Tehrani and Dominic Patrick could make a run in the quaters
yeah he wasn't very good until recently but he's beaten anthony delcore 1 and 1, quinton vega in 3, mitchell polnet 3 and 2, trey daniel 2 and 2... I think he's improving very quickly and I mean he's also the 2 seed. Another very good player is Billa J
wow your right delcore and trey daniel wow has very good wins under his belt what about 18s
Yeah pretty much no one's heard of him though haha. For 18s my guess is Daniel Ho, what do you think?
Billy Pecor or Johnny Wang
i've never seen billy pecor play but i've heard the name before. I know johnny wang is a very good player
if your going to dunlop watch him play very solid player
good choices ,I like to add Arthur Karagezian,he's been playing some real good tennis lately.... .. I like Reo Asami,but his game isn't big enough to beat the 18 year's old yet... Arthur,D.Ho,Billy P,Gregory S. all have big games but all these guys seem to have ADD when pressed ,they can't put it together.. Johnny Wang took out Evan Song recently but it looks like he cannot win a tournament any more, he's dangerous taking out a high seed but that's all.. it'll be interesting to see the outcome of these 2nd tier players... no Marcos, Daniel K.,Clay T.,Zack L.,D.McCall.. I like to see some of these guys all battle it out...
there is no way that robinson kid wins the tourny if you check his record he chokes in nationals
well he's the number 2 seed so i dont think you can say there's no way he's going to win
Pecor pulled out.
i would say McDonald in 16s
I'd say he's the most likely person
whos gonna win the girls 16s and 18s? Who are the top rising players in the girls divisions nowadays?
I think the top three in the girls 18 are: Lorraine Guillermo, Lacy Smyth and Sarah Lee.
Though Lacy is the first seed, she has not been playing tournaments lately, so the finals should be Lorraine and Sarah, with Sarah winning.
Lorraine and Sarah were in the finals of "Northridge" which Sarah won.
Just for your info, Sarah Lee and Sabrina Santamaria both play for Cambell Hall high school. They both just lost to Alyssa Smith of Dana Hills last week. Big upset.
so many pulled out from the boys 18s.. the tournament host must be making tons of extra cash for entries who didn't show up..
When's the last time he's lost lol
Who's going to win the dunlop in girls 16s though?
Hmm arent all of those from southwest? I know 2 of them... Theres a new guy who is doing great.. He got to the semis.. His name is Thomas Pecor i think. Seems pretty good. I wish i coulda played but i missed the deadline by a week =ppp thought it was like 2 weeks ago but it was 3?
gage brymer owned the 14s and wade heerboth did well by taking out the 13th seed
Does anybody know off hand what Wyatt Mcoys Nat rank is?
you guys know McDonald is playing 18s right?
you know this thread is from last year right? lol
Wow, I'm stupid.
Separate names with a comma.

Big stakes in Calif. recall
LOS ANGELES – The effort to recall California Gov. Gray Davis involves more than the fate of a Democratic governor. At stake is the future political direction not only of California but our nation.
California recall has makings of coup
News analysis The attempted recall of California Democratic Gov. Gray Davis has all the markings of another Republican Florida-style ballot-box coup. The situation is very fluid and volatile, but the underlying class and social forces are shaping up for a mega-battle.

When running marathons I find myself always in the bathroom. I found a article that says that gel and gatoraide together causes problems. Does anyone know if it's true? If that is the case should I just use Gel and water. Is that enough carbs, or ahould I just drink gatoraide? If that's the case can you get dehydrated from drinking just gatraide? Someone help me I am so lost.
It is true that gels and sport drinks don't mix well so you should either go with water and gels or gatorade. You will want to experiment on your long training runs to see which option works best for you.
I totally agree with Jay. I found one difference in my experience with Gels (that's what I use to date)... With sport drinks, you get energy very soon (before the run if you drink sport drings before the run) and electrolytes (however, I don't suspect you need it for the first few miles). With gel packs, you typically don't get it until 45 minutes into the run. I personally have been fine without anything until my first gel pack.
I have a question about this though... during training, I don't eat gel before the run... and if it is an hour long or shorter, I don't use it at all. This is partially to keep my body burning as much fat as possible. Am I seeing this scenario correctly? Should I even start my training runs with a gel pack?
Another question about Gel vs. sportdrinks: sport drinks are higher content sugar than are the gel packs (according to the labels). Is that good? Which is better (to burn fat, or to train). THEN, which is better during a marathon? During the race, I take the suger... that's my guess. Although during this past April's marathon, I used gel packs exclusively until mile 15 when I ate a few Jolly Ranchers (hard sugar candy).
I would welcome any input on these issues.
Hi Mark,
I am a triathlete, so my needs might be a little different than yours because I have to get my nutrition on the bike and make sure I get enough for the run, but not too much where I get cramps on the run.
Any workout less than one hour I only consume water. Your body has plenty of stores for that workout. The exception to this rule is if you are doing one workout in the morning and another in the evening, especially if you can't eat within the 30min window after exercise.
I'm experimenting now as I build for a 1/2 iron distance and then an iron distance race this summer and fall. I find that I can tolerate small increments of carbs spaced over time better than larger lumps. So, for a long run, I will drink G2 until 1/4 of the way, then do 1/2 a gel. Again, if I'm just running the one session and it's 10 miles or so, this works for me. I also try to eat a small 200-250 calorie snack about 1 hour before the workout.
Hope this helps,
Diane Stokes
Thanks Diane. Yes, it helps.
Many runners have problems with gels; you are not the only one! Always be sure to experiment during training to figure out what products work for your body.
You can also fuel yourself without gels or sports drinks. The trick is to eat 200 to 500 calories (as tolerated) pre-run, and that should last you for about an hour or so. Then, you want to fuel during the run -- another 200 to 300 calories per hour, depending on your speed and body size and tolerance. Some runners like twizzlers or gummi bears, others' like dried fruit or sugar wafers, some like rice crispie treats. You just want easy-to-digest calories that settle well. My Food Guide for Marathoners: Tips for Everyday Championsoffers abundant information on how to fuel before, during and after runs, with or without engineered foods.
As for "burning fat during a run" -- you want to be fueled when runnnig, and lose fat at night when you are sleeping. My motto is "Fuel by day, diet by night." That is, plan to create a calorie deficit at the end of the day by eating fewer evening snacks, rather than dragging through workouts. Note: Burning fat does not translate into loss of body fat ... you have to create a caloire deficit for the whole day to lose fat....

This seems to go against the ELMO principle. Wouldn't cutting your calorie intake during the evening lower you blood sugar levels and slow down your metabolism at night?
If a person needs to create a calorie deficit to lose body fat, wouldn't it be better to create that deficit at night, when the person is not trying to think, work, be productive, exercise, and be pleasant -- in addition to having a slower daytime metabolism?

Wouldn't it be best to try and spread the calorie deficit out as close to evenly as possible throughout the day in order to avoid peaks and valleys?
Spreading it out evenly makes sense to me. Even when running, you're not replacing the same amount of calaries that you're burning, nor would you really want to attempt that (over 100 calaries per mile??? Whew! Way too much). If I go to bed feeling fine (not full, and not hungry) I sleep well. If I go to bed hungry, I do not sleep well and sometimes wake up because of being hungry. Admitedly, Nancy may not be thinking of the level of hunger that it's making me think.
For me, the only time I have trouble thinking well is when I am quite hungry... not when I'm mearly running a bit lean on the food. I keep snacks with me (in the "envelope" that I carry) so I avoid the starving feeling, but I operate well when slightly hungry or barely not hungry. If I eat more than I use during the day, I'm not so sure that I think any better, and sometimes think less clearly.
Gel or Gatorade is the best guide. I've asked several sports docs and they all agree on this also no need to use the gels until well into your run. I like dried cherries best for race day with a gel about the halfway mark but then, I'm a slow runner and probably don't need as much nutrition...
To God be the glory!
I have to say I agree with others and the gel not settling well. I actually quit using gel because of this reason. I have heard too many times from runners that they threw up after a gel and infact last time I used a gel I just about threw up when I ingested it. I switched to the Shot Bloks or Powerbar has those new gel blasts which are pretty cool.
There is an article in Running Times November 2008 issue about a scientific study about increasing the amount of carbs ingested by using a different ratio of sucrose to fructose (2:1). Before this study was even published Powerbar got wind of it and reformulated it's powerbars and gels to take advantage of this new finding. Very interesting article and worth reading. They claim that by ingesting more carbs an elite athletic can potentially shave 14 minuts off a full marathon.
I rarely drink pure Gatorade while running. Try mixing 1/2 water and 1/2 Gatorade on your next run to see if that makes it easier on your stomach. And you cannot get dehydrated from drinking Gatorade. I agree with the others that gels are not easy to stomach. Most gels also do not contain any fat or protein (which are necessarily bad to consume during a run) and have less than 1/2 the calories of a Clif bar. There are a lot more reasons to choose solid foods over gels. Just make sure you stick to whatever foods you eat during training on race day. Even changing to a different sports bar can have bad effects.
Theoretically, if you knock off 100 calories a day, you'll lose 10 pounds of fat a year. Knocking off 200 calories a day translates into 20 pounds of fat loss a year. I invite my clients to create this small calorie deficit at the end of the day (by having 4 fewer Oreos, a little less ice cream, 20 fewer potato chips). They are not "hungry"; they are just "not full" -- and they are able to both train hard, recover well, and sleep fine.
By creating a small calorie deficit, an athlete can function fully, sleep well, exercise hard, and successfully chip away at losing undesired body fat. An athlete can sustain a small calorie deficit for a long time. In contrast, an athlete cannot sustain a restrictive diet that leads to hunger (and likely backfires into a food binge, if not low energy).
My Sports Nutrition Guidebook has a strong section on how to lose weight and have energy to exercise. You might find it helpful.

Gel is primarily for CARB replacement and CARD loading and can be used before, after or during training.
Don't mistake Gatorade as electrolyte replacement formula. True Replacement of Electrolytes should come from pure source (devoid of sugar). Sugar actually inhibits the electrolyte "charge" that occurs when these key minerals are in one solution, then it can actually conduct an electrical charge. Most of these products are good for Card Replacement and thats IT.
Gatorade and smiliar drinks have potassium and sodium and TAUGHT themselves as "electrolyte replacement" and it's NOT TRUE.
They are missing several KEY ingredients like: Chloride, BiCarbonate, Sulfur, Phosphorus (as well as Sodium and Potassium).
There is ONLY ONE ELECTROLYTE DRINK on the market that provides balances electrolyte replacement:
If you are feeling RUN DOWN, you are missing electrolytes that are vital to your performance.
If you're dehyrdated you have already lost electrolytes and you can't just replace them by drinking water. Drinking water dilutes what electrolytes you have left.
This "burn out" thing with us runners usually happens because of electrolyte deficiency and yet there is only one product I've found that offers a true replacement.
Here is a great free report that explains the SITUATION for runners. Very cool.

SYSTEM OF A DOWN guitarist Daron Malakian will contribute a track to the upcoming full-length album from the STREET DRUM CORPS, the side project of THE USED frontman Bert McCracken. The CD, which will mostly feature found instruments, will have a whole lot of other guest stars."So far we've only used three drums on the whole recording. Everything else was stuff we found on the street: garbage cans and satellite dishes and big, heavy chains and propane tanks," McCracken told MTV.com. "And it turned out really well. We hoping to get a lot of different artists to be on it. Hopefully Daryl Palumbo from GLASSJAW will be on it, hopefully DJ Shadow is going to jump on it too. Daron from SYSTEM OF A DOWN said he's going to do a track. The STREET DRUM CORPS was pretty much the most punk-rock thing we saw on the Warped Tour, which kind of bums me out. But it's also encouraging that there are so many artists looking to help out with it." The STREET DRUM CORPS debut should be out in February, just around the time McCracken and the rest of THE USED are scheduled to get to work on a follow-up to last year's "In Love and Death".

Linebackser Kyle Griffith will hold a roster spot for West Virginia team in the 19th Annual Battle Against Cystic Fibrosis Football Classic. The game pits West Virginia against Ohio players as all proceeds benefit a worthy charity. The game will take place June 8.
Griffith finished third on the 2012 Red Devil football team in tackles with 72 and also notched four sacks, three PBU's and a fumble recovery.
"I was really excited when I heard that I was chosen. I am excited to get the chance to go out and represent my school and state. It's for a great cause," said Griffith.
The 5-9 205 lbs linebacker plans to walk on at Marshall University this fall for the Thundering Herd football team.
"I am going to have to add 15 pounds to my frame and work very hard. I visited with the coaches and toured the school and it just felt like the place for me to be. It will be a challenge but I'm up for it," said Griffith.
Griffith will join teammates Dustin Derito, Jeremy Lawrence, Zack Martin, Chad Burroughs, Jeremy Burgess, Tyler Miller, Jordan Yencha and Brandon Cunningham. on the BACF Classic squad.
Ravenswood initially tied Parkersburg with the most West Virginia players on the roster with six before three more Devils were invited earlier this week due to a light West Virginia roster. Mike Dawson is the head coach at Richie County High and will lead the West Virginia squad.

Simmonds continues to shine in London
3rd September 2012
Ellie Simmonds continued her blistering form at London 2012 with an SM6 200m Individual Medley world records in the heats on day five.
Having defended her S6 400m Freestyle title in a world record earlier in the Games, the 17-year old starred again in the Aquatics Centre as she knocked more than 1.5 seconds off her old marker to lead qualifiers in 3:06.97.
I wasn't actually going for a world record this morning, I was going for the Paralympic record.
Simmonds was lying second through the first 150m but stormed past Ukraine's Oksana Khrul in the final freestyle leg to take the touch.
But the Brit was adamant she hadn't gone out to chase the world record in the heats.
"I wasn't actually going for a world record this morning, I was going for the Paralympic record which was 3:13," said Simmonds.
"I was just going out to get a feel for it all again but the crowd definitely gives you a big buzz and I can't wait to race again tonight in front of the crowd.
"I'm quite shocked with that time though. I couldn't quite see what time it was and I had to ask someone but I'm really pleased with such a big PB in the heats."
Natalie Jones and Liz Johnson will join Simmonds in the final after qualifying second and seventh fastest respectively.
As long as I'm in the final, that's fine and if I can get on the medal podium tonight I'll be more than happy.
Competing in her first event of the Games, Paralympic SB6 100m Breaststroke champion Johnson was just 0.02 off her season's best as she finished in 3:29.22.
Meanwhile, former world and Paralympic champion Jones impressed with a 3:16.41 effort and insisted she is capable of going faster in tonight's final.
"I was hoping to do about that time this morning, maybe slightly quicker," said Jones.
"As long as I'm in the final, that's fine and if I can get on the medal podium tonight I'll be more than happy."
Sascha Kindred will go for a fourth consecutive SM6 200m Individual Medley gold after qualifying fastest from the heats.
I was a bit disappointed with Saturday so I had to focus on picking myself up to be strong for today.
The world record holder eased through his heat in 2:44.29 to book lane four for the final.
And while he missed out on the defence of his SB7 100m Breaststroke title earlier in the week, Kindred admitted the support he had received after had inspired him to bounce back today.
"I was a bit disappointed with Saturday so I had to focus on picking myself up to be strong for today," said Kindred.
"I had lots of good luck messages from parents of kids with my disability who have said I'm a role model for them.
"And those kind of messages have really helped me pick myself back up again and helped me perform today."
Having won S6 400m Freestyle bronze on day two in London, Matt Whorwood joined Kindred in the final as he set a personal best 2:53.82 to finish third in his heat and qualify fifth fastest.
I wasn't thinking about medalling but qualifying second is pretty good and I can't complain about a two second PB.
Jonathan Fox will compete for a second medal of the Games after qualifying second fastest in the S7 100m Freestyle.
The European champion, who won ParalympicsGB's first gold in the pool in the S7 100m Backstroke, sliced more than a second off his personal best as he came home in 1:02.47.
"The 50m and 100 Free aren't really my main events so I want to go out and enjoy them," said Fox.
"So I wasn't thinking about medalling in either of them but qualifying second is pretty good and I can't complain about a two second PB."
Competing in his first event of his Paralympic debut, 15-year old Josef Craig was just 0.07 seconds shy of his personal best as he clocked 1:04.00 to progress fourth fastest to join Fox in the S7 100m Freestyle final.
Susie Rodgers booked a spot in her third final of the Games as she finished second fastest from the heats of the S7 100m Freestyle.
The European champion won her heat in 1:12.86, touching just 0.76 seconds off her British record to progress.
James Anderson also reached the final in his first event of his sixth consecutive Paralympic Games.
The 17-time Paralympic medallist was less than a second shy of his season's best as he clocked a morning swim of 2:27.43 to go through seventh fastest in the S2 100m Freestyle.
Finally, Thomas Young continued his record-breaking form in London as he clocked a one-second personal best to make the S8 50m Freestyle final.
The 21-year old ducked under Sean Fraser's British record to finish in 27.81 and progress joint seventh into his third individual final of the Games.
Fraser clocked a season's best 28.20 but missed out on the final, finishing 11th overall.

Often that means advisers end up targeting the same 1% of high-income earners, and overlook the middle class. For me, the middle-class retiree is someone who has worked for IBM for 30 years, who has at most $500,000 of retirement benefits and who doesn't meet that account minimum. But it's extremely profitable, both emotionally and financially, to work with this underserved population.
Most advisers think you have to work with clients who have a net worth of $1 or $2 million. They think larger amounts of money equal greater revenue. In reality that often isn't the case because you have to compress fees so far when working with high-net-worth individuals.
Early on in my practice, I realized I could set my own business apart by providing the same level of service high-net-worth individuals received without having to compete for the same $1 million accounts. There are strong financial rewards for doing so. In our own case, the revenue we generate is considered high — out of the 13,000 firms my broker-dealer works with, my practice has placed in the top 100 revenue producers since 2006.
The way we stumbled into this segment of the market was by starting to manage 401(k) plans for a corporation. That rapidly built relationships with 1,500 employees. If we did a good job with their 401(k)s, they came to us for help managing their other investments.While I'm not suggesting high-net-worth clients don't have their value, they often want something "different." They want an exclusive investment product. They are always asking: "What can you do for me?" As a result, advisers are constantly trying to one up each other to compete for the same clients. That's why you see high-net-worth clients move from adviser to adviser all the time. By comparison, our retirees are extremely loyal.
If you do retool your practice so you're working with middle-class individuals, you have to ask yourself how do I manage double or triple the relationships by having a lower account minimum? You may have to limit your number of clients so you don't end up overstretched.
A lot of advisors see catering to middle-class clients as more work for less reward, but I see it as reaping the benefits of economies of scale. You provide the same services, the same way, for lots of different people, and your efficiency increases. You make more in fees for less work — and the work you do is much more emotionally enriching.

FRIDAY, Jan. 31, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Along with football,
food is a major part of the Super Bowl Sunday experience -- but
it's a good idea to choose what you eat wisely and avoid

"Fats, spices and carbonated beverages are likely to wreak havoc on the gastrointestinal tract, if not at the time of ingestion, then in the hours that follow," Dr. Christine Frissora, a gastroenterologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City, said in a hospital news release.
"Pass on the junk food at the Super Bowl party and your body will thank you later," she said.

GM Cans Buick PHEV
- Aug 20, 2009 2:02 PM EST
- [num] Comments
We're all hoping GM has emerged from bankruptcy a leaner, meaner company in many ways. GM is keeping four core brands--Chevy, Cadillac, Buick, and GMC--which is why it's surprising that the automaker has suddenly decided to can the upcoming Buick PHEV crossover.
As Autoblog reports, the upcoming vehicle wasn't much more than a rebadged Saturn Vue; apparently Buick has decided that it won't fit in with the company's retooled image going forward. (Maybe GM really is paying attention now.)
The good news: GM will take the plug-in hybrid drivetrain that was going to be a part of the Buick crossover and transfer it to another upcoming vehicle. Plus, they're even planning to meet the same projected 2011 launch date as before, and will let us know "very soon" what the next step is.

No Place in Football
I feel compelled to write about the horror tackles that have been high-lighted in the opening two games of the Premiership. Namely,
1. The Stamp on Ryan Giggs last weekend, and
2. The elbow by Ben Thatcher on Pedro Mendes last night.
The stamp on Giggs was bad enough, could have easily broken his leg! However the elbow by Thatcher left Mendes Knocked out cold and in hospital. It was an absolute disgrace! The likes of which not seen since Keano chopped down Haaland(I think it was him) and ended his career. Horrible Horrible Tackles or whatever you want to call them, as a tackle actually involves going for the ball and not the player!!
So what should be done?...
1. The referees in both case's (Giggs and Mendes) only gave yellow cards, yet another disgrace! These referees should be demoted to referee lower leagues and should not be given Premiership matches!
2. The police should investigate and bring charges against the players concerned. Why should they get away with it just because they are on a football pitch?
3. The FA should use the video evidence to bring further disciplinary sanctions. I think there are special circumstances when it should be deemed an incompetent referee did not deal with it properly i.e. yellow cards not red.
4. We, the fans, should make our feeling known to these players that we dont want to see that kind of thing on the pitch. I for one will be booing Ben Thatcher when City visit Old Trafford, and I think fans of other clubs in other stadiums should do the same!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Well the first one of your request has come true, old Dermott has been banished to the Championship in his final year as a ref.
You need to be cautious about getting the Police involved as you could well see a player just walking (although not in Mendes case) up to a copper on the side line telling him he wants to make a complaint then waiting for the copper to step on to the pitch and arrest him then and there in the middle of the game!

Thatcher deserves a ban for the rest of the season if you ask me...sorry to any City fans but he does have a bit of previous

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. The warm springtime weather has the bees buzzing all over the Grand Valley as they begin to make their pollenation rounds.
We all know them for their honey, but bees are actually an agricultural lifeline here on the Western Slope.
Without their pollenation efforts, many farmers would not be able to grow many of the fruits and vegetables characteristic of the Grand Valley.
As a result, starting and maintaining bee boxes is on the rise.
"A lot of people showed interest about keeping bees, wanting to have bees. why? just to have them, for pollenation, for their gardens," says beekeeper, Anthony Fronczek.
Although many people fear bees, beekeepers encourage us to give these insects a chance.
Having lots of bees around only benefits our food and our gardens, and experts insist they add a calm and refreshing presence to the environment.

Bad Seed or Bad Science?
By SCOTT CHRISTIANSON
Published: February 8, 2003
BINNEWATER, N.Y.— For more than a century, the Jukes clan has been presented as America's most despised family. Social science researchers long believed they were a case study of dysfunction, a bunch of genetically linked paupers, criminals, harlots, epileptics and mental defectives, whose care had placed a huge financial burden on taxpayers. The family's pedigree was used for decades as a textbook example of how heredity shaped human behavior and helped lead to calls for compulsory sterilization, segregation, lobotomies and even euthanasia against the ''unfit.''
Over the years, several historians and biologists have criticized the methodology of two Jukes studies as flawed and have said that many of their conclusions were fabricated. But the true identity of the family -- who were dubbed the ''Jukeses'' by researchers -- has remained a mystery, their names hidden by a code devised by the original investigators.
But now new information about the Jukeses has been found in archives at the State University of New York at Albany and in records of a forgotten Ulster County poorhouse. It turns out that many family members were neither criminals nor misfits, and that quite a few were even prominent members of Ulster County society.
This is a ''major discovery because it provides closure to a badly flawed error in the interpretation of human behavior,'' said Elof Axel Carlson, professor of biochemistry and cell biology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, who is an expert on the Jukes case. ''In fact, they were not biologically flawed and doomed -- they were simply poor scapegoats.''
Investigations into the records began after a poorhouse graveyard the size of a football field was discovered in 2001 beneath a new fairground and swimming pool in New Paltz, which is in Ulster County. Some of the 2,300 unmarked graves from the poorhouse turned out to belong to members of the so-called Jukes family.
Garland E. Allen III, a professor of biology at Washington University in St. Louis, said that the Jukes episode was an example of how scientists have distorted research results for ideological and political reasons. ''The whole study was done to bolster the eugenicists' preconceived notions,'' he said.
The Jukes story started in July 1874, when Richard L. Dugdale, a gentleman-sociologist, visited the Ulster County jail as a volunteer inspector for the New York Prison Association. He learned that six people being held there under four family names were blood relatives. Digging further, he found that of 29 males who were their ''immediate blood relations,'' 17 had been arrested and 15 convicted of crimes.
After culling data from the records of local poorhouses, courts and jails, Dugdale produced a book, ''The Jukes: A Study in Crime, Pauperism, Disease and Heredity,'' in 1877.
In it he claimed to have traced the family's Hudson Valley roots back seven generations to a colonial frontiersman named Max, whom he described as having been born between 1720 and 1740, a descendant of early Dutch settlers, who lived in the backwoods as a ''hunter and fisher, a hard drinker, jolly and companionable, averse to steady toil.'' He traced the branch that had produced so many criminals back to a woman he called ''Margaret, the Mother of Criminals,'' who had married one of Max's sons.
Presenting detailed genealogical charts with capsule descriptions of each member, whom he identified only by first name or code, Dugdale concluded that the family was chronically beset with all kinds of social ills. He estimated that their care had cost the taxpayers, through relief, medical care, police arrests and imprisonment, a total of $1.3 million (about $20.9 million in today's dollars).
In his analysis, he pondered whether heredity or environment was responsible for the family's habitually degraded state.
His study was hailed as a landmark work in social science, in part because it employed extensive field research to try to address the question of whether hereditary or environmental factors were more responsible for crime, poverty and other social ills.
For decades, many scholars overlooked the study's faults, for example, the fact that Dugdale didn't adequately specify his sources or explain his methodology.
Nicole Hahn Rafter, a professor of criminology at Northeastern University and an expert on the eugenics movement, pointed out in an interview that, to be fair, Dugdale himself had acknowledged in his book that the Jukeses were not a single clan, but rather a composite of 42 families. He had also noted that only 540 of his 709 subjects were apparently related by blood.
Professor Carlson contended in his book ''The Unfit: A History of a Bad Idea'' (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2001), that Dugdale had ''really claimed that what was inherited was a bad environment rather than a bad physiology.''
Nevertheless, Dugdale's work was often misrepresented as being solidly hereditary. Eventually, it helped furnish some of the basis for the new scientific and social movement of eugenics that started in 1880's and achieved the status of a craze in the early 20th century.

Damages could be substantial to the capital of the US wine industry after Sunday's 6.0-magnitude quake in Napa Valley, California, experts say.
Blessed by prime weather for growing wine grapes, Napa is a centre for production and bottling of top-value cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir and merlot from some 1600 local vineyards, and is a hugely popular destination for tourists as well.
Watch: Strong California quake causes injuries, damage
Sitting just north of San Francisco, the valley stretches 50 kilometres over some of the most geologically active faultlines in North America. It is an important contributor to the economy of the richest US state.
The farms, some 500 wineries and associated businesses employ about 46,000 people and generate more than 300,000 jobs nationally, according to the local trade association Napa Valley Vintners.
In 2011, according to research house Stonebridge, Napa shipped nearly 50 million cases, one-fifth of all the bottles produced in the United States, contributing US$26 billion (NZ$31.1b) to the California economy.
Sunday's earthquake, the worst since 1989, damaged scores of buildings and shook vineyards preparing for what was predicted to be a generous harvest.
Pictures from the area showed storage rooms with wine barrels and wine bottles shaken from storage racks onto the ground, though reports suggested not a large amount of wine was lost.
Yet the quake, which also tore up roads, came one week before the Labor Day holiday weekend, which would normally send many thousands of visitors cruising through Napa for vineyard tours and tastings.
Watch: Napa Valley cleaning up after quake
It was too early to make a clear assessment of the damage, but according to the catastrophe insurance estimator Eqecat, the total impact, for immediate costs and longer-term fallout for California's economy, could be US$500 million to US$1 billion (NZ$599m to NZ$1.2b).
"The greatest damage has been to the historic buildings. Several buildings in the downtown core of Napa have sustained bricks falling off buildings and some partially collapsed or leaning walls," Eqecat said.
"At this time, it is not known how much of the structural damage is major and how much is cosmetic."
As for the wine industry, Eqecat said there were unclear levels of losses. "At this point in time the Napa Valley wine harvest had already begun. Had this event occurred pre-harvest these losses would have been less."
Napa Valley Vintners said it was still collecting information on the damage to the industry, saying it expected to know more within a few days.

By SGT. 1ST CLASS CHRISTOPHER BUSHWAY, U.S. Army Mountain Warfare School, Jericho, Vt.October 3, 2011
Dehydration is a leading cause of injury for Soldiers. To keep them in the fight, it's essential they remain properly hydrated -- even during the winter.
The average adult loses 1½ to 2 liters of water each day. Being in a cold-weather climate can add to this water loss through the increased excretion by the kidneys, perspiration and evaporation from the lungs (the breath you see on a cold day). To make matters worse, Soldiers may be less interested in drinking water during cold weather and, as a result, become dehydrated. This can lead to inadequate blood flow to the extremities, which can contribute to a Soldier developing a cold injury such as frostbite or trench foot.
According to the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine, Soldiers should take the following steps to maintain adequate hydration during cold-weather operations:
•Soldiers must drink even when they are not thirsty. Leaders should establish a program of regularly scheduled hydration.
-- Soldiers should drink at least two to six canteens of water each day.
-- Cold suppresses thirst, so schedule drinking at regular intervals. Actual fluid requirements are dependent upon the level of physical work performed, the temperature and what Soldiers are wearing and carrying.
•Eating snow or ice for moisture is inefficient, may irritate the lining of the mouth and may lower body temperature. It is better to melt snow or ice and purify it before consuming.
•A cup of hot coffee or tea can be a welcome "pick-me-up" in the cold, but excessive caffeine consumption leads to difficulty sleeping, depending upon individual tolerances. Soldiers should be cautious to avoid sudden withdrawal from caffeine, however, as this can cause adverse symptoms such as severe headaches and nausea. Hot cocoa is generally a better beverage than coffee in the cold. Cocoa is warming, much lower in caffeine and high in needed carbohydrates.
•Alcoholic beverages can give a false feeling of warmth and impair judgment, which may be detrimental in the harsh cold.
•Avoid consuming excess salt (more than the amount normally provided in military rations).
First sergeants and support personnel bringing water to line units can usually tell if Soldiers are hydrating properly by their daily consumption. During winter, it's not unusual for Soldiers to drink a gallon of water or more each day when moving extended distances in mountainous terrain. Buddy teams must also be trained so Soldiers can encourage each other to drink plenty of water. Soldiers must understand the importance of pushing fluids before, during and after exertion.
Staying hydrated in cold weather also takes more effort than in warmer temperatures because canteens sometimes freeze. To prevent this, Soldiers should carry at least one canteen in the front chest pocket of their Gore-Tex jacket to allow body heat to keep the water from freezing. Because water freezes from the top down, the canteen should be placed upside down in the pocket. The simple act of positioning the canteen properly will ensure there is at least a quart of water always available.
For Soldiers, working and training outdoors is part of the job -- no matter how extreme the temperature. Enforcing proper hydration during cold weather is one of the easiest ways to ensure Soldiers stay healthy and arrive ready to fight.
The adequacy of fluid intake can also be judged by urine color and volume. Dark-colored urine -- orange snow instead of light yellow snow -- and not needing to urinate upon awakening from a night's sleep are indicators of significant dehydration. Be aware, however, that this technique may not work for Soldiers who take vitamins, supplements or medications that discolor the urine.

RIAs line up behind Greg Smith as Goldman Sachs reels from exec's New York Times op-ed grenade
The advisory community indulges in a bit of schadenfreude as a departing executive director slams the wirehouse culture
Brooke's Note: If you're a young student coming from an elite institution of higher learning and you want to practice medicine, you can honorably work at Johns Hopkins. If you're a young lawyer coming out of Harvard Law, you probably can't go wrong at Davis Polk & Wardwell. But if you're a bright kid coming out of Stanford University or Yale looking for the bluest chip in finance, you might be faced with a dilemma as you consider Goldman Sachs. You could say that Greg Smith's revelations yesterday in the New York Times were the exception that proves the rule of Goldman being an upstanding institution — and Goldman makes a good case for that in the response letter it issued. But people in the RIA business, especially ones with prior exposure to Wall Street…they're not buying it, as you'll see in this article.
The financial advisory community was transfixed yesterday by an incendiary New York Times op-ed from a wirehouse executive who chose to launch a final salvo at Goldman Sachs on his way out the door. See: Reformed Broker' and blogger 'Downtown' Josh Brown joins BrightScope's advisory board.
"Today is my last day at Goldman Sachs," wrote Greg Smith, 33, who was an executive director and head of the firm's United States equity derivatives business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
"After almost 12 years at the firm — first as a summer intern while at Stanford, then in New York for 10 years, and now in London — I believe I have worked here long enough to understand the trajectory of its culture, its people and its identity. And I can honestly say that the environment now is as toxic and destructive as I have ever seen it." See: One-Man Think Tank: Inside the legal issues of the Goldman Sachs hearings.
The kiss-off, even better than Jerry Maguire's famous "I quit" speech because it was real, hit the financial titan where it hurts: Shares of Goldman fell 3.4% yesterday, even as those of some other well-capitalized banks that, like Goldman, had passed the Fed's stress test yesterday — like Bank of America — rose.
For RIAs, some of whom walked away from that environment years ago, the op-ed piece and the ensuing media furor present an opportunity to point out to clients the difference between Goldman's business model and theirs. Some industry observers say that Smith was only putting into words what has long been evident — words that can only aid the cause of RIAs.
"The more things change, the more they stay the same," says Jeffrey Spears, co-founder and CEO of Sanctuary Wealth Services LLC in San Francisco. "Over the last five years, 10 years, the drivers of profitability on Wall Street have been very client-unfriendly."
Even though Smith's clients were institutions as opposed to individual clients, Spears continues, "the RIABiz reader will relate to this story, because the RIABiz reader does not compromise clients, because their business model is unconflicted. This op-ed validates the conflicts of interest that we knew existed before and during the financial crisis, but that shockingly, it's just 'business as usual.' 'Business as usual' is a huge opportunity for independent wealth advisors." See: What is the value proposition of a financial advisor — and how is a budding RIA culture upping the ante?.
Spears suggests that advisors point the piece out to clients subtly, perhaps using social media like Twitter or Facebook, and be ready to answer questions about different business models in the financial services industry. See: Why compliance experts are apt to dislike Facebook.
Steve Barimo, chief marketing officer at GenSpring Family Offices LLC, a Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., RIA with $20 billion under advisement, says that there's a teaching opportunity to be gleaned from the hullaballoo.
"It definitely gets the industry talking, and clients, or prospective clients certainly read these articles. It can reinforce certain ideas, or raise questions in their minds."
What they should take away from it, Barimo continued, is that "Goldman Sachs offers something different. I'm not calling it better or worse, but it's different. Clients should understand what hat people are wearing, and how they're compensated. Articles like this one help advisors emphasize their offering, so clients can fully understand what option they're choosing."
Blogger and consultant Danny Sarch, of Leitner Sarch Consultants Ltd., praised Smith's article, saying, "It was a brave, ballsy thing for him to say. You must applaud him for that."
He adds, "We're moving into a world where we no longer tolerate undisclosed conflicts of interest; we're going to this
transparent world. That's what Greg Smith is talking about in this letter. It fits with the evolution of the financial services industry.
RIAs are on that cutting edge. We need to be conflict free and fully disclosed in a way that the brokerages are having a slower time coming to."
Morale buster
The screed has the potential to do real damage to morale at Goldman, coming from Smith, who was actively involved in recruitment and mentoring at the firm.
"When the history books are written about Goldman Sachs, they may reflect that the current chief executive officer, Lloyd C. Blankfein, and the president, Gary D. Cohn, lost hold of the firm's culture on their watch," Smith wrote. "I truly believe that this decline in the firm's moral fiber represents the single most serious threat to its long-run survival."
Providing a rare behind-the-scenes look at the testosterone-fueled world of brokers, Smith wrote that one of his problems with the firm is that there is only one way to get ahead there — contribute to the bottom line, and don't spare the clients (aka the "Muppets.") That entails, as Smith explained, pushing low-profit "axes," "hurt[ing] elephants" (getting them to trade the high-profit stuff), and trading complex derivatives.
Shooting back
Blankfein and Cohn responded, in turn, with a missive to current and former employees that was widely circulated in the media and on the Web.
"Needless to say, we were disappointed to read the assertions made by this individual that do not reflect our values, our culture and how the vast majority of people at Goldman Sachs think about the firm and the work it does on behalf of our clients," they wrote.
They also countered with some research, citing a recent survey of 85% of employees at Goldman Sachs who responded to a recent employee survey that asked how respondents felt about how the firm served clients. Eighty-nine percent of the respondents felt the company provided "exceptional service," making Smith one of the 11%.
"We are far from perfect, but where the firm has seen a problem, we've responded to it seriously and substantively. And we have demonstrated that fact," the letter continued. "It is unfortunate that all of you who worked so hard through a difficult environment over the last few years now have to respond to this. But, our response is best demonstrated in how we really work with and help our clients through our commitment to their long-term interests. That priority has distinguished us in the past, through the financial crisis and today."
Career killer?
The op-ed drew a furious media and online response. In a Bloomberg article, a headhunter made a caustic remark about how Smith has committed de facto career suicide by calling out Goldman Sachs. "Maybe he's made a sufficient amount of money in his life that he isn't particularly bothered if he isn't employed in financial services again and works in a completely different world like teaching," John Purcell, founder of London-based executive search firm Purcell & Co., said in the article.
Jeff McClure, an advisor with The Personal Wealth Coach, an RIA firm in Salado, Texas, questioned that presumption.
"Actually, while he will definitely be persona non grata in the investment banking and possibly the brokerage world, his stated integrity and courage makes him an ideal pick for any company willing to be scrutinized and lends credence to any claim that company might have to integrity."

Justice Kennedy On Choosing Cases, 'Empathy,' And Diversity
Justice Anthony Kennedy sat down with The Wall Street Journal's Jess Bravin for a discussion on the Supreme Court before a student audience at University of California Washington Center. Here is the second allotment of edited highlights from Monday's conversation.
Q: Some 9,000 or 10,000 appeals typically are filed each year at the Supreme Court, fewer than 100 usually are accepted. Can you explain the process?
A: Of the 9,000 we mark about 500 for discussion. From the 500 we discuss, we should take about 100, 120. Lately we've been taking only 80. There's not a lot of emotional or intellectual capital expended arguing over whether we should take the case. If it's a really important case and we feel badly that it wasn't taken, there will be another one [sooner or later] on the same issue.
Q: What kind of interaction do you have with your colleagues?
A: We do not talk to each other about the cases before oral argument. We don't want cliques and cabals. Then oral argument occurs. We sometimes behave badly, interrupting the attorneys, interrupting each other, although it's a good dynamic. After the case is argued, within 48, 72 hours we'll have a conference [to hold a tentative vote on the case].
Q: How are opinions assigned?
A: If there's a division, the senior judge in the majority assigns the opinion and the senior judge in dissent assigns the dissent. And we try to keep the workload even so that one judge doesn't get all the railroad reorganization cases. Most of us, the first thing you write, it's no good, you throw it in the waste basket and start again and then you circulate this draft and hope you that you get four other votes.
Q: You are in the majority more than any other justice, meaning that you cast the deciding in vote in most of the controversial cases. How do you view that responsibility?
A: When you take that vote and it's a difficult case and, say you're in the majority, 5-4 or 6-3, there are not a lot of high fives and backslaps. It's a moment of silence as you realize that in a difficult case, you are going to have to write an opinion that commands the allegiance of the polity. We are judged by what we write. We don't go around giving speeches about how great our opinion was. If it is a difficult opinion where half of the country is going to be in strong disagreement, sometimes more than half the country, we draw down on the capital of trust.
Q: President Obama has said that judges should possess "empathy," and that in the toughest cases, "the critical ingredient is supplied by what is in the judge's heart." Do you agree?
A: Sometimes people are cautious about that. You see the poor person hurt and the defendant is rich so you think maybe they should have the money. And if that's how the word "empathy" plays out in your mind then there is a problem with it. But I sometimes ask my grandkids, what do you think are in all those books that are on my walls? Those are cases. Those are stories about real people, and their hopes and their aspirations, their disappointments, their mistakes. Real people are going to be bound by what you do.
Q: You've said that it is difficult to recognize injustice in one's own time. But can you see others waiting redress?
A: I'm really concerned about the criminal system [and its emphasis on harsh sentences.] It isn't working [and it is too costly]. I think you have to look at rehabilitation and alternative punishments.
Q: The Supreme Court for the first time includes three women and black and Hispanic members. Is that new diversity benefiting the court?
A: Sure, I think it's helpful that we have different points of view. I'm not sure that rigid categories of gender and ethnic background are always proxies for diversity, but it gives legitimacy to what the court does. [Still], it used to be that diversity was geographical. [Nowadays], I'm the only justice from west of the Mississippi, [while four justices come from New York City].

Perhaps the most epic finish in this sport was given to us by Nicola Spirig of Switzerland and Lisa Norden of Sweden, who put out a photo finish to kickstart the Olympic event.
Despite both contestants clocking at 1:59.48, Spirig was given the gold as she crossed the tape with her foot before Norden leaned her head towards the tape, attempting a minimal lead.
Both women dropped to their knees immediately after crossing the tape, with Australia's Erin Densham finishing a close third.
In the men's competition, Great Britain's Alistair Brownlee notched the gold, finishing with an impressive 1:46 25 mark before teammate Javier Gomez of Spain and little brother Jonathan Brownlee.
All three men run for the same team in France. The Brownlee brothers set the pace for the field, going full throttle in each of the triathlon's sections and ultimately bringing Great Britain's its first ever medals in the sport.

1954 SE Division St., Portland, Oregon 97202
New Seasons 7 Corners – Here we take a moment to remember Old Times. Crossfit Portland used to be located at SE 21st and Powell. We used to meet up with other Crossfitters for lunch or late dinner at the New Seasons' Hot Case. New Seasons became, and still is, a staple for our diet needs. After turning Paleo, they provided the first meal "out" where we were completely satisfied in our stomachs and our wallets! However, after moving to North Portland, we were disappointed to find out that the other locations do NOT have the Hot Case special there! Then we default to the great Wok Bowl. For now, we'll focus on the Hot Case Special.
What we ordered: The Hot Case Special. Their Hot Case has several items and they change daily. The best dish and is pretty much what makes this deal awesome is the Dragon Thighs. We only get the special if they have Dragon Thighs. What are they? Click to find out!
How we ordered it: Straight out of the Hot Case. No subs or elims.
What we got: The reason why the Hot Case Special is so great is the quantity. If you can, go after the dinner rush and they may just give you extra so they can get rid of the rest of their food.
If you go, here's a KEY to let you know if you're being served well on your meat.
If they give you:
2 pieces = you just got JACKED!
3 pieces = about right, pretty good size.
4 pieces = Score!
5 pieces = you best be goin' across the street to buy a lottery ticket! Thasalotta meat!
Nice size plate! 3 pieces of chicken, half a dozen brussell sprouts and about 2 yams.
If you look closely, there's a small pool of drool about to fall.
Cost: CHEAP!! $6.99 for entree and two sides.
Quality: Local meat, very tasty, flavorful and moist.
Quantity: Great! Was satisfied at the end of the meal. If you can, try not to let their manager dish you your food, they weigh out exactly how much you're supposed to get. Usually they'll just eye it out for you and it's more than enough food.
MEAT-O-METER says!

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Analysis: Steaminess Rating
Exactly how steamy is this story?
"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is pure family-friendly fun. The closest we get to sex is the absolutely adorable description of heart-pounding first love about halfway through the story: "Benjamin started; an almost chemical change seemed to dissolve and recompose the very elements of his body. A rigor passed over him, blood rose into his cheeks, his forehead, and there was a steady thumping in his ears. It was first love" (1.5.6).

WINE OF THE WEEK: 2009 Carpe Diem Cabernet Sauvignon; from California's Napa Valley; costs about $25; serve with prime rib, roasts, wild mushrooms and cheese.
Christian Moueix and his winemaking team knock it out of the park with this moderately priced Napa Valley cabernet. Made with just a touch (4 percent) of petit verdot, the 2009 Carpe Diem has impeccable balance; a silky texture; soft, rounded tannins; and, underneath it all, beautiful Napa Valley fruit. This is a cabernet built not to dominate but to go with food.
The quality may not be such a surprise from the owner of Chateau Petrus in Bordeaux and Dominus in Napa Valley, but the price, about $25, certainly is. This one could hold its own against some of the valley's most lauded $100 bottles. Classic and elegant.

Every aspiring celebrity has to start somewhere, and for certain stars that somewhere was the world of fake eyelashes, makeup and spray tans known as beauty pageants. Take a look at which stars were beauty queens first.
While a student at La Jolla High School, Raquel Tejada won the Fairest of the Fair beauty pageant at the San Diego County Fair in 1958. She later gained fame as actress Raquel Welch, but not before winning the Miss San Diego contest and placing second in the Miss Southern California pageant.

Family, and friends and their families, that together create an interconnected system through which alliances are formed, help is obtained, information is transmitted, and strings are pulled.

Use social network in a sentence
A key ability of modern businesses is a good social network presence in order to engage with customers at a more personal level.
I like using a social network to talk with my friends because it is really quick and easy and they have the most funny stickers to send.
There is an ongoing debate about the effects social media has on communication, but it is clear that for people who are isolated or housebound, there can be much to gain from being part of a social network

Early 17th century (sense 2): from French, from Gascon dialect capdet, a diminutive based on Latin caput 'head'. The notion "little head" or "inferior head" gave rise to that of 'younger, junior'.
cad from late 18th century:
This is a dated term to describe a man who behaves dishonourably towards a woman, and appears to have arisen at the universities as a colloquial insult for a 'man of low, vulgar manners'. It may have originated at Oxford in a contemptuous application to townsmen in the 'town-and-gown' rivalry. Cad, however, once referred to any passenger picked up by the driver of a horse-drawn coach for his personal profit. It is an abbreviation of Scottish caddie or its more standard form cadet. This term for a younger son comes from French Gascon dialect capdet, 'little head' hence 'junior' from Latin caput 'head'.

History as entertainment: H.W. Brands and Mark Updegrove in Dallas
How I wish that everyone who thinks history is boring could have been at the Dallas Museum of Art on Wednesday to hear H.W. Brands and Mark Updegrove.
(And how happy I am that the people at Arts & Letters Live invited me to do introductions for the event, or I might have missed it.)
Brands, of course, is the historian/one man book factory from Austin whose latest is The Heartbreak of Aaron Burr. (Chris Vognar profiled him here.) I'd seen him speak once before, at the Texas Book Festival, and remembered him as being dynamic and engaging. He didn't disappoint here — he was part history teacher, part celebrity author, and part evangelist for both history and good writing. He spoke animatedly, with great swooping gestures and wide-eyed intensity that made me think that if this writing gig ever fails to pan out for him, he has a bright career ahead as a cult leader.
His speech/lecture/sermon was punctuated with zingers. In analyzing why many people's eyes glaze over at the idea of reading about history — when those same people get excited when he talks about biography — he said: These people can never remember the first name of their high school history teacher, but they're pretty sure his first name was "Coach."
It was also full of wisdom. Not just the wisdom you get from being immersed in history, but the kind you get from a person who obviously has spent a lot of time thinking about his writing. A writer, he noted, has to decide whether he's writing for people who have to read your books, or whether he's writing for people who don't have to read them.
He talked about breaking the whole of American history down into small stories — a process he says was aided by the undergraduate classes he teaches. There, he said, he has to tell the entire story of World War II in one lecture, when others get to discuss it in an entire semester. The lesson, he tells his students: You can write on any subject, at any length. You can tell the story of the world in 800 words, or 8 million.
He talked about writing history in the present tense, to give it urgency, and he talked about how his latest book was an attempt to tell history that was "as close to the experience of a novel as a reader can get in nonfiction."
Bottom line: Next time you get a chance to hear him speak, go. You won't be disappointed.
I wondered how Mark Updegrove would follow that act. The head of the Lyndon B. Johnson Library and Museum was there to talk about his oral history, Indomitable Will. Could he compete with such a great performance?
I shouldn't have worried, because he had an ace up his sleeve: LBJ himself. Updegrove, who acknowledges wanting to correct some of the impressions of the president made by that other LBJ biography people are talking about, punctuated his remarks with recordings of the president's phone conversations. Some, like his conversation with Martin Luther King Jr. days after John F. Kennedy's death, were profound. I have to admit, though, that the recording of him ordering some custom slacks was not something I will easily forget, no matter how hard I may try.
And speaking of LBJ, and that other book — neither man is a big fan of Robert Caro (our review is here.)
During the Q&A time, when they fielded some insightful questions from the audience, Updegrove said, "I have great respect for Robert Caro and think he's a brilliant writer, but I don't think it's a balanced view. The more I talk to folks who knew LBJ, those who were supporters of LBJ and those who were opponents of LBJ, they didn't see it as a balanced portrait. I relayed a quote from John Connolly, who told Caro himself, 'Every time you could put a dark twist into something that LBJ did, you did it.' You never see the … the compassion, or the nobility, or the well-intended LBJ." He added that he thought that although Caro's was "a legitimate view," it was "unduly skewed."
Brands' view: "I think that when the work is finished — assuming it is eventually will be finished — it's going to be a landmark of American literature. I'm not so sure it's going to be a landmark of American history." He said that Caro sees things "like things are clear and true. And one of the things I am continually impressed with regarding history is how messy it is."
He elaborated, "This will sound paradoxical, but in all the thousand of pages that Robert Caro has written on Lyndon Johnson, he has not written enough. Because he has written — well, as Mark suggests, sort of half the story — and the half of the story that suits his literary purposes at a particular time." He suspects that in the end, there will be a redemption of Johnson of sorts. But Brands suggested that he can't imagine recommending the series to a student who is interested in LBJ — until the final series is abridged into one succinct story. Which, he said, given Caro's reputation for completeness and meticulousness, he sees as unlikely.
So, there you have it: History as theater, drama and erudite trash-talk. Couldn't ask for a better evening. I'm glad I was there.
