This book covers the subject of nutrition in the mother during the year before birth and in the child during the year after birth. Dr Winick has done research in nutrition and has edited many books about nutrition; he is well qualified to address the topic. Nutritional needs in the preconception period, during normal pregnancy, and in certain types of abnormal pregnancy, specifically those complicated by adolescence, diabetes, or preeclampsia, are discussed. The subject then shifts to the newborn, both the normal and premature, covering the various topics of breast-feeding, human milk, formula, and mixed feedings. The chapters are organized logically, and the text is very readable. Included are many references to past research, along with some references to research performed in the first half of the most recent decade. Many of the chapters contain summaries and practical suggestions. Some topics are discussed in detail in several different chapters (iron,

We looked for a Ragdoll cat breeder in MI. The first breeder we visited was very unkind to us and didn't even bother to get back with us on adopting one of their kittens after we drove quite a way to potentially adopt from them. My family was crushed. Can you believe we were not good enough to adopt one of her kittens! We then found a kind hearted breeder closer to home who is honest, friendly and very well informed on the Ragdoll breed and we had several kittens from 2 litters to choose from. We choose our Willow, a seal lynx by color because he was mellow, a little shy and just the sweetest little boy you could meet!

Young people are the population group most affected by AIDS and most vulnerable to the disease. While most of them have access to information, this does not necessarily mean they actively adopt the best behaviours. To make preventive measures really effective, they need help in their efforts to understand AIDS.
HIV/AIDS has been wreaking havoc all over the world for more than twenty years, threatening the well-being and development of young people everywhere. Prevention campaigns have not managed to stem the spread of the disease. Ignorance and unfounded prejudices help it advance even faster and often result in infected people being rejected by their communities.
Simply presenting the disease and its implications is not enough to make a prevention tool effective. This is why this book focuses firstly on misconceptions that are still circulating about the epidemic, followed by a more pragmatic section designed to provide educators with tried and tested knowledge transmission methods and concrete examples of activities that put young people in situations where they must deal with HIV/AIDS issues.

To determine the frequency of subclinical hormone secretion in incidentally discovered adrenal masses.
We reviewed the radiologic reports of 1779 consecutive computed tomographic scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis.
Regional referral medical center.
Eighty-nine patients with abnormalities of one or both adrenal glands were identified. Patients with non—adrenal gland malignant neoplasms, primary aldosteronism, adrenal hemorrhage, and death or severe illness were not investigated. The final study group consisted of 26 patients with incidentally discovered adrenal masses.
Main Outcome Measures:
Aldosterone secretion was assessed by measuring plasma renin activity and the plasma aldosterone concentration in patients with unexplained hypokalemia. We evaluated cortisol secretion by performing a 1-mg overnight dexamethasone suppression test and by measuring the corticotropin concentration at 8 AM by a sensitive method. In patients with low corticotropin values, we also measured the 24-hour urinary excretion of free cortisol and 17-ketosteroids and assessed diurnal variation by measuring plasma cortisol concentrations at 8 AM and 4 PM. Adrenal medullary function was studied by measuring urinary free catecholamines.
One patient had unrecognized primary aldosteronism, two patients had elevated free catecholamine excretion, and three patients (12%) had subclinical Cushing's syndrome.
Based on our observations and a review of the literature, we conclude that subclinical hormone secretion, especially cortisol secretion, is more common in patients with incidentally discovered adrenal masses than previously appreciated. Surgeons and anesthesiologists must be alert to the possibility that adrenal insufficiency or a hypertensive crisis may develop in the perioperative period in patients with incidentally discovered adrenal masses.(Arch Surg. 1994;129:291-296)

In the last six months, national headlines have focused on tales of reckless investment practices on Wall Street, unscrupulous mortgage lenders, the AIG debacle, and numerous Ponzi schemes. These incidents have opened our eyes to business practices that lack conscience and responsibility, are based on a corrupt use of power and greed, and demonstrate an absence of foresight.
These same themes come to mind when I consider PSE&G's Susquehanna-Roseland power line upgrade. There is a general lack of conscience and responsibility on PSE&G's part when you consider they are willing to go forward with this project despite its proximity to an elementary school. I am aware of their assurances that there will be no negative health effects from increased EMF (electromagnetic field) exposure. It is unclear, though, how they are able to offer these assurances when they are adding a 500 kilovolt line to the already-existing 230 kilovolt line.
It seems PSE&G has proposed this line upgrade to transport cheap, coal-generated energy from western Pennsylvania to more widely populated areas in the Northeast. This appears to be purely profit-driven and they are using their power and legal muscle to push their agenda. Now, please don't misunderstand me, I am all for businesses making a profit and advancing forward but not at the expense of other people, particularly children.
Lastly, I am disappointed in PSE&G's lack of foresight. With climate change looming, people need to take greater personal responsibility for conserving our resources, one of which is energy. This is a great opportunity for PSE&G to educate the public and make a push towards energy conservation. PSE&G also has an incredible opportunity to be innovative and make a leap toward alternative energy sources that are safer for our environment and communities. I do understand that as our global population continues to grow there will be greater demands for energy. What I do hope is that PSE&G can responsibly meet those demands without sacrificing the health of our school children and educators.

Cuts now hurt later
I was dismayed to read in The Star-Ledger that Gov. Jon Corzine plans to cut an additional $3 million from the Early Intervention program for toddlers, which already had been cut by $18 million dollars ("Corzine's latest budget cuts target health care, environment," May 16).
Developmental delays in toddlers do not go away by themselves. The delays become more prevalent, and by the time these children reach kindergarten they will require the help of many specialty teachers, and the tremendous costs will be borne by the taxpayers.
Susan Roeser, Fanwood
Addiction programs need aid
I read with disbelief about Gov. Jon Corzine's budget cuts in Human Services, particularly $4 million in "unneeded" addiction treatment dollars. What?
How is that $4 million will go unspent when the need for addiction treatment continues to grow, as evidenced by the depletion of two major funds for treatment, for the first time this year. The South Jersey Initiative ($3 million), which provides treatment funds for 13- to 24-year-olds in the southern part of the state, was depleted in early March and the Drunk Driver ($7.5 million) fund was depleted in early May. We have been told by the Division of Addiction Services that the depletion of these funds was caused by a greater demand for treatment. Yet these same people tell the governor there is a diminished demand for treatment.
I will tell you where the truth is: As a provider, I know of the demand as evidenced by more than 400 phone calls every week from desperate people seeking residential addiction treatment.
Cuts in addiction treatment hurt everyone. The governor should pay attention to the thousands of studies that show addiction treatment saves the state money, even in the short game.
Jim O'Brien, Turnersville
Sell the surplus
With up to $20 billion in red ink forecast, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of California has proposed that the state sell surplus property that could be used for ready cash to help balance the budget.
It sounds like a plausible idea that could be instituted in any state that is having budget problems.
State and local governments nationwide own and often operate professional sports venues, convention centers and other public buildings that could produce billions of dollars in immediate revenue if sold or leased to the private sector.
Maybe Gov. Jon Corzine should look into the possibility of selling New Jersey's surplus property.
David M. Levin, Vineland
It's no trick
I don't accept the premise of the editorial cartoon depicting universal health care as a rabbit so enormous magician-President Obama cannot pull it out of his hat.
If Obama and Congress deliver universal health care via single-payer -- that is, Medicare for all -- Americans will save $400 billion annually in administrative costs and profits currently lost to private health insurance companies and we will save the 60 Americans who die every day because they lack coverage. No wonder 60 percent of Americans want single-payer. It's no trick.
Jim LaRegina, Westfield
Another Ponzi scheme
The May 13 headline, "Dire times for Social Security, Medicare," brought to mind the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme.
Most of us know Social Security is heading for insolvency, but did we know that our Social Security funds exist in paper-form only and are bonds backed by the government's "full faith and credit," not by cash or actual assets? That money has been spent over the years to keep other parts of the government running.
The Social Security fund will be depleted by 2037. This is robbing Peter to pay Paul and the government's own Ponzi scheme. What court do we go to to prosecute the government? Let's not start expensive programs before taking care of the ones we already have in place.
Medicare will pay out more this year than it takes in and will be insolvent by 2017. How's that for lack of foresight and management? If you handled your job like the federal government, you'd either be in jail or collecting unemployment.
Margaret S. Heffernan, Somerset
Columnist showed prejudice
If columnist E.J. Dionne had listened to President Obama's address at Notre Dame University, he might have been better informed ("Obama calmed stormy seas with faith," May 19). I guess because he is in the media, he is allowed to be self-righteous.
How arrogant can the media be? The whole point of the speech was about keeping a dialogue open and being able to talk to all points of view. Apparently, Dionne must not like what he calls the Catholic Right (if there is such a thing -- I thought you were either Catholic or not).
It was nice to read how "open minded" and "humble" Dionne became because of the speech, basically telling anti-abortion supporters they "keep the nation mired in culture-war politics without end." What would he have anti-abortion backers do? Give up? That is not the American way.
Abortion is equal to killing. It is the destruction of a baby, and in this case American babies. Obama said, "I do not suggest that the debate surrounding abortion can or should go away." Those in the media seem to have different ideas.

By Sally Gwylan
22 March 2004
Part 2 of 2
Thursday, April 26, corner of Powell & Michigan--
I haven't lived through so miserable a set of days since my brother was killed. My feet are swollen yet again & I can hardly think for weariness, and yet I still cling to some hope for our cause if not for myself.
Last night I slept in Union Depot, if sleep it can be called, jerking awake each time a train rumbled in, and was then rousted out onto the street before dawn by an officious porter. Though I couldn't bring myself to eat, I got myself to work & through work without being let go, and tonight Lucy has offered me a place to sleep.
And now I'm bound once more across town to Mr. Freytag's pharmacy, to persuade him to write down his findings so I can take them to the Committee as support for my warnings about the manna, as I should've thought to do yesterday. Or perhaps the pharmacist will come himself.
The streetcar is very late.
The young man I spoke to late yesterday afternoon at the Committee's unofficial headquarters -- Mr. Beebe, who assists Mrs. Parsons, the editor of the weekly Prometheus, and so is well placed to disseminate the information -- appeared prepared to believe me if I could demonstrate that Mr. Freytag backed my claims. The assistant had heard of the golden manna phenomenon already, as newspaper accounts have remarked on it, treating it as harmless showmanship.
I gave the young man the last sample of the stuff that I had with me, with strict warnings which I also wrote on the envelope, as it was the only evidence I could show at the time. He locked the sample in a desk drawer & promised faithfully to warn anyone who planned to venture into the auditorium to avoid the glittering dust. With that I made myself content. As everyone there was at sixes & sevens over the arrests and whether their offices would be raided, a hearing was the best I could hope for.
It seems two other men, though not Dunnegan, are in jail along with Kropotsky, charged, so the Tribune gleefully declared in this morning's edition, with conspiracy to plant a composition bomb in the podium at Glessner on the last day of Owings's revival, when Mr. Pullman -- who yesterday cut wages yet again, with his workers already near to starving! -- is scheduled to be sitting beside him on the dais.
I have no doubt the charges are true. Josef & I quarreled over the ethics & efficacy of propaganda-of-the-deed more than once, and though I think history bears me out that such violences serve us ill, he would not be persuaded. When I recall what moral crimes those two villains have committed in their greed I can't fault Josef & the others for wanting to strike back. Still the notion that they'd consider employing a bomb where bystanders might be injured shakes my understanding of who Josef is. Or rather, who he was. Though perhaps the manna changes little of a person but their beliefs.
My brother Fergus was such a bystander, a high-spirited lad of ten jeering the bluecoats as they charged a line of striking foundry workers. In the melee a bullet found him. No-one wanted him dead, but he died all the same. We can't afford to be so careless of lives as are those who rule us.
I believe but for the events of this week, Josef would have been in a cell alongside Kropotsky & the others. As things stand it's almost certain he will instead bear witness against his comrades. And not just Josef but Hynek as well. And now perhaps Nathan. The last of my true companions has fallen away.
I find my hand falters. Each thing seems harder than the last, yet I am resolved to continue this record.
And still the streetcar hasn't come.
Yesterday evening, after failing to find Nathan at the upholstery shop or the Prometheus offices either, I stiffened my spine & went home. I smelt Gretchen's cabbage stew as I climbed the stairs, & heard her bubbling laughter mix with the sounds from other tenants' flats. The smell stirred my hunger even through my anxiety & queasiness. My feet, swollen though I'm accustomed to stand all day without difficulty, ached miserably in the buttoned confines of my boots on those steep steps.
They fell silent when I entered -- all four of them. I knew as soon as I saw Nathan's glowing expression what had happened, not the specifics of it, but the important thing. The torn envelope lying on the table gave an unnecessary confirmation. Gretchen bounced Samuel on her knee, whispering nonsense to him in the silence. The baby gurgled in response, oblivious to the tension in the room.
Nathan wouldn't answer me directly when I asked him why, just assured me blissfully that all was well with him, but Josef stood carefully to answer me: Nathan had come in waving the envelope, saying I had claimed they'd been doped. So Josef decided to try the stuff & see; he tore open the envelope and waved it before Nathan's face.
Hynek turned to me, protesting that the manna was no drug, but the Hand of God, and the lamplight pooled in his pale eyes.
It's a parasitic infection which affects the brain, I said flatly, against my sudden fear of Hynek's passion. Spores, I told them, not caring to explain further.
Nathan looked mildly interested & asked if that was what the pharmacist had said. No-one else reacted. I raged at them that they were ill & they didn't even care.
Gretchen laughed & after a moment the others joined her. We aren't ill, Josef said, and Gretchen said, Look at us. Look at Samuel. She held him up to me and asked if he'd ever looked better.
The baby waved his little fists, still a wizened monkey of an infant, with the rash that has plagued him reddening his cheeks. But contentment filled his dark blue eyes. He has never been contented from the day of his birth, and I realized what should've been clear all along, that he'd breathed the manna in as well. Josef touched my sleeve & tried to draw me down to sit with them at the table, but I wouldn't. If I had wanted to I couldn't have, for my knees wouldn't bend.
Giving up, he sat again, turning the chair & straddling it as he often does, his strong arms resting along the back of it. The sight of him that way -- intense and troubled for me, the scar from when he worked as a hostler's boy drawn up tight -- made me tremble but I knew I had to hold fast against my feeling for him.
You've got this thing the wrong way round, Anna, he said. As to a child he explained that because what had changed them was good, the how of it was of no great moment. If I would but open myself to the Light of God's Truth--
But outrage lit a hot flame behind my eyes. I couldn't bear that word from him, & told him so. The truth is in our lives, in the miserable little rooms where we huddle like unthinking beasts & in the filth of the streets & the hunger & dead children, in the wage cuts & the owners' arrogant display of their stolen wealth. It's in the beatings & bullets & hangman's gibbet when we fight back or just come too close & watch like Fergie did. That's hard truth, and a few days ago they knew it as well as I, I told them. But now they'd folded their hands & swallowed Owings's pious claptrap, singing Glory & Hosanna all the while.
Before I finished Hynek was on his feet, shouting that Owings was a good man, a man of God, a true prophet, and I was not to slander him. And so it went from there. Cold & perspiring at once, I tried to curb my temper long enough to remind them of what they already knew, or had known: that Owings was ever the bosses' man, even before the scandal with Mrs. Acker & his near-exile in Madagascar; that Pullman & McCormick & Field pay his accounts while he hoodwinks the poor and waves God at them like a scarecrow. And now steals what little freedom they have left! But they wouldn't listen. We shouted -- not Nathan, who only looked bewildered, and Samuel fell to crying til comforted at his mother's breast, but Hynek & Gretchen & Josef & I -- til the neighbors pounded on the walls to silence us, til I allowed myself to accept that they indeed couldn't listen, with Owings's neat little doctrines embedded in their minds.
Kropotsky & some others have been arrested, I told them, letting the words dangle between us.
Hynek & Josef glanced at each other. Kropotsky and the men were going to assassinate Reverend Owings, Josef said simply, and then there wasn't any more to say at all. Except that as I left I heard Gretchen declare pityingly that they should have saved a little of the manna for me.
And so I spent last night in the railroad terminal, too miserable to think of writing. I won't go back to the flat, even to claim my belongings.
Hope that I may avert further disaster from the manna is slipping through my fingers. Mr. Freytag's shop was shuttered when at last I reached it, though he told me he stays open til eight. Remembering his passion the last time I saw him, I should have known he'd be gone.
I asked the storekeepers to either side where I might find him, but neither knew. The one on the right, a Hungarian butcher who smelt of rancid fat, added that he'd seen the pharmacist leave last night carrying a small carpetbag & looking expectant, as though he planned a weekend in the country or some such outing. It is, however, the middle of the week.
Neither man knew of any relatives Mr. Freytag might have gone to visit. He lives in a room behind his shop, and no-one comes to see him but customers & sometimes of an evening a few rough-looking men.
Against my intuition that Mr. Freytag was bound for Paris & would not return, I begged the butcher to give him a note for me. He grinned evilly & recommended I see an old woman two streets over who, he said, could cure "what ailed me" better than could the pharmacist. Repelled almost to nausea by this, far more than it deserved, I walked away.
In truth I don't know where to turn.
Friday, April 27, Lucy's place--
Mr. Stannis has paid me off. I spilled a whole pot of glue on a stack of signatures, spoiling the pages. As he counted out my money he seemed more satisfied than angry.
The odd thing is that I don't feel anything at all about it.
Sunday, April 29, Lincoln Park--
The morning breeze off the lake is steadying to both my stomach and my bruised nerves, in spite of the pungent odor of fish & refuse it carries. Though far from my home ward, the park is a good refuge for the moment.
--Perhaps in part because it is far from there. Word has gotten round that Hynek & Josef informed to the police, and it seems I, as an associate, have been tarred with the same brush. Few of our people will speak to me. To my despair this includes the Prometheus staff & those on the Committee. I'd hope they would still exercise due caution with the manna I gave them, but see no basis for it.
All I have done has gone ill.
Lucy's father may be another who disdains me now because of my former comrades -- or it is simply that he fears that now that I'm unemployed I cannot pay my board. Whatever the case, he's asked me to find another place to stay. Indeed, though I've been grateful for their forbearance, all those strangers packed in so close simply points up how alone I am, more alone than I've been since I left home after Fergie's death.
I won't think just yet about where I'll stay tonight, or what I'll do when my money runs out.
The contentment in little Samuel's eyes haunts me. It was in essence the same look they've all shown, but less disturbing on an infant not yet ten weeks old, innocent of any oppressive theology as words hold no meaning for him.
Neither did Mr. Freytag, alone in his shop, come under the spell of Owings's poison. I believe the image on the calendar was what impressed itself on him, that and his own memories, an apparent foundation for--
Oh, damn this everlasting queasiness! An eddy in the offshore breeze, and I gag on the sweetness of the lilacs that line the path. Whyever should lilacs, of which I'm fond, make me retch & weep at once? Why should appetite desert me and my body feel like a beached & bloated whale just when I need all my faculties to face the trials ahead--
Oh, I am undone. That detestable butcher was not far wrong. Indeed now the thought occurs to me, my body assures me it's true: I'm carrying a child, Josef's child.
Without Josef beside me, without my comrades, however can I bear this?
Well, I am here, and the vast room echoes dully around me as the auditorium fills. Unease sits like a lump in my middle and I must work hard to keep my breathing steady. What I've chosen to do feels like self-murder.
I intend that it will not be so. I've prepared as well as I can, with beeswax & cotton waste to stop my ears, and a black shawl wrapped round to hide this. And a credo I've written out myself, on a scrap of butcher paper so I could get the phrasing right, & tucked into the pages of this journal.
When the manna lowers the barrier of my selfhood, it will be my own words I absorb along with that sweet content.
I arrived as early as I could and claimed a seat off to the side, on an aisle so I may leave when my task is done. The air has gotten thick with the scents of sweat & tobacco & perfume, and people of every sort are filing past me, vying for seats near the front. To this moment I've seen no sign of Gretchen or Hynek or Josef, but I won't count myself lucky until the crowd is settled in place.
But I have seen a face or two that looks familiar, lone men in work garb with watchful eyes & scarves tied loose round their necks. One carried a roll of cloth beneath his coat that is the right size to be a banner; I can't think how he managed to smuggle it past the Pinkertons at the door! Neither man noticed me. With my head & shoulders covered by the shawl I must look like an old-country peasant, which is to say no-one to be concerned about.
That's more than I can say about them. The Committee, or a few revolutionists acting on their own initiative as Kropotsky's group did, have some plan in train. I applaud their dedication, but oh, I wish they hadn't chosen tonight!
The seats are full and the aisles nearly so. A man is speaking from the podium -- Mayor Hopkins, someone said. Behind us the doors are closing, one by one.
Monday, April 30, outside the city--
The teamster whistles tunelessly on his seat up front, and clucks now & again to the horses. I've yet to see his face. I have no idea where we are -- some farm road, judging by the sway & jolt of the van. But I know myself in good hands, whatever my location.
A number of people have taken pains for my safety. This is a marvelous thing, and beyond my comprehension. They tell me that chaos reigns in Chicago, and that the police want me for questioning in Owings's death.
I've been lent a clean shirtwaist, a little large for me -- at least as yet! -- but welcome, as my small bag of possessions is still tucked beneath the bed I briefly shared with Lucy & her dour sister. And the dress I wore last night is stained beyond cleaning with Owings's blood. Blood also stains the cover of this journal, which was in my pocket then. I can smell it through the haze of dust.
Being sought by the bluecoats worries me not at all, an absence of anxiety like the giddy relief that comes with the pulling of an inflamed & throbbing tooth. But Owings's death, that's a burden on me -- not worry, but grief.
Waiting out last night's sermon in the midst of the crowd was a fearful agony, however foolish that seems now. In desperation I watched Owings shout & pound his pulpit, pouring his heart into his preaching. As infected with manna as any of his audience, which I'd not considered before.
A number of those around me had risen to their feet, & the violet-scented matron beside me shrieked, a sound which deafened me even through my ear-stops. Guessing the climax was near, I pulled my credo out & was holding it ready when Dunnegan edged past me in the aisle. He was clean shaven & clutched a dandy's straw boater to his chest to save it from the crush, but I was sure it was he. The bleak resolution I saw on his face brought me out of my seat and after him.
What I thought I might accomplish by this I don't know.
Dunnegan never looked behind. I slipped the credo in my pocket -- I'm sure I did; it must have fallen out in the press of the crowd -- and murmured apologies right & left as I pushed through in his wake. Owings's oratory continued unabated, and the closer we drew to the front of the room, the less good the ear-stops did me, til we were near level with the evangelist's polished shoes & every word was clear. I'd have to clap my hands to my ears when the moment came, and how then could I read my credo if I couldn't hold it?
Then the moment came & everything changed.
Glitter above us caught my wary eye, and a cry of triumph swept everyone to their feet -- a cry that became confused shouting as the Committee men with scarves across their faces leaped onto the dais, unfurling black & red banners. Pinkertons charged from the wings with clubs in hand & pistols at their belts, and the wealthy men seated there dived out of the way as the golden dust, the manna, rained gently down upon us all.
As I tried to absorb all this my searching hand found no stiff paper in my pocket. Stark terror tightened my chest so that for a moment I couldn't breathe, so distraught that I missed Dunnegan's raised revolver til a crack like thunder brought me around to see Owings stumble, hands high and groping. And Dunnegan's finger squeezed once more -- the bullet hitting Pullman, but not, I think, mortally -- before those nearest him in the crowd piled on top to stop him.
I've been told Dunnegan's neck was broken. He would have chosen it that way, I think.
The evangelist stayed on his feet for a few fumbling steps, then pitched backwards off the stage two feet from me. We caught him & lowered him til he rested on the floor, the people who stood around me and I, a unity of strangers with the sweet taste of manna on our tongues and the touch of it opening our minds to wonder.
Owings still lived, gasping, his eyes wide with pain. Close up he was a round, balding man smelling of sweat, ordinary but for the blood soaking his shirt & vest. He grasped for a hand & caught mine. I remembered well enough who he'd been, what he'd cost me, but that was past, was less than nothing in the moment. His pain was mine, was ours, and there was no fear at all.
I think I will never feel fear again.
Someone's hands pressed a bunched-up coat to his wound, though it seemed clear he couldn't live. Save them! he rasped, and his gaze pinned mine. The passion I'd seen before still burned in his eyes.
I knew it then for my own. What else had I been fighting for all this time, but to save the people?
Leaving him, I pulled myself heavily up onto the stage, where the fighting had dissolved into a muddle of wide-eyed men. The comrades who hadn't fled had lost the protective filter of their scarves. Manna had enfolded every mind, Committee men & Pinkertons & dignitaries alike. The banners lay draped across chairs where they had fallen, familiar in theme: Neither God Nor Master! Pay Us Our Labor's Worth! We Are Not Beasts!
I felt the those words sink into me, welcoming them as my own, all as I turned to face the shocked & murmuring crowd. My people; at that moment I felt that every one of them had been given into my hands.
Awe held them, not fear, but their untutored mass strength was dangerous in its own way. I began to speak. I'm not sure of all that I said. I know that I started with We Are Not Beasts! and those words led to others: We were not beasts to shoot & tear at each other, as had happened that night before our eyes and every day a thousand times out in the streets. Neither were we beasts to be worked to death, or to live in squalor & ignorance & disease & filth. We were not beasts to let our children die, nor to pass by the starving man in the street. The earth & all its goodness was ours, share & share alike as brothers in unity must do. We needed neither God nor master because we had each other.
And the cheers rose up and carried me along, an intoxicant that fed the rapture manna had given me. I'd but thought to tell them what I knew of the golden dust when wide dark eyes caught mine across the heads of the crowd, Josef standing near the back, with Nathan & Hynek & Gretchen crowded in close. Whether they had Samuel I couldn't see, but surely they did. Josef smiled in awe and welcome, but it wasn't Anna he saw, not me but his own salvation -- yet another messiah for a man who'd needed none before.
It made me stumble. I don't want to be seen that way, particularly not by Josef.
A hammering came on the doors behind them and people turned to look. The doors burst inward and bluecoats poured in, their revolvers & brass buttons catching the light. One of the Committee men grabbed my arm and dragged me running after him to an exit.
And so I am hidden in the back of a freight wagon with bolts & boxes of dry goods. The jouncing doesn't help soothe my morning nausea, but rays of the mid-morning sun slant in through the cracks, an ordinary miracle I can cup in my hands. Even here, I am not alone.
Tuesday, May Day, south of Chicago--
From his sickbed yesterday, Pullman signed an order restoring full wages for his workers, and shook hands with their delegation. I read this in a copy of the Tribune Mr. Beebe brought from the city, as the two of us drank tea in our hosts' parlor.
Also from the Tribune: Wagons of all descriptions have descended on the poorest wards of Chicago. People as varied as their conveyances are carrying away the refuse of years. Other wagons followed with loads of lumber donated by merchants, & with carpenters for the rickety tenements, & gravel for potholes.
The offices of the Prometheus have been raided and some of the staff arrested for conspiracy in the murder of Owings, though there's evidence Dunnegan acted on his own. My visitor, Mrs. Parsons's assistant Mr. Beebe, wasn't there & so escaped the city. The latest word is that the Mayor, who was at Glessner Sunday night, has ordered them released, but the commissioner resists.
Mr. Beebe also brought me an envelope covered with warnings in my own handwriting, the sample of manna I left with him. It has been slit open, & carefully sealed again.
We had someone examine this, he told me as he put it gingerly in my hand. He has mustachios like Josef's, though otherwise the two of them look not at all alike.
He said: We can reproduce the spores. Should we?
He's left me alone here to think. I don't know why it should be my choice! Except of course there isn't anyone else to decide -- though it occurs to me to wonder if Mr. Freytag had any of his sample left; if he took it with him.
That is not yet my concern. When I hear of the revival of revolutionary spirit in Paris, it will be time enough.
The men & women cleaning streets and shoring up rotten tenements are, through the rapture of the manna, my people, as are (strange fate!) Mr. Pullman & the Mayor. As Josef is, though what we once had is swept away. Owings gave them all into my care. The families who live in those tenements are mine as well, and I am theirs, through blood & sweat & struggle. We aren't beasts. We don't have to live like beasts. With the assistance of the manna, I can make this so. People will follow & our numbers swell to a multitude. The child I carry will grow up well-nourished & happy & unafraid--
And not free. As I am no longer free.
Neither God nor Master, but what am I? I reach for worry, but cannot find it.

What I want to do now, is talk about forms and the form process. And we'll take a look at a couple of examples of forms, in order to do that. I'm on the Video2brain website. This is their homepage. And they have a subscribe to our newsletter link. So if I click that. I have gone out to a form, for me to fill out, if I want to become a subscriber to their news letter. Now you can see this form, has a few different fields within it.
Each one of those is known as a field, there's also a few extra check boxes within this form. The idea is, you fill out form with your information. You check the check boxes if you want to, and you'll click Save. Now if I click this button right now, you can see there's some information that pops up on the page, in other words, I have not filled out all of these required fields.
And that message that pops up, and the script that creates that blockage, so to speak, of the form being submitted is known as form validation. So this is using a process called server side validation. Server side validation, actually sends the form data to the web server, the web server checks to see if the data was filled out correctly. And the web server sends back a new page with this red writing in it, letting the user know it wasn't filled out properly. So, this is known as server side validation.
You send the form to the server, before it gets tested. Now, there are other types of form validation seperate from that. If you go over to my website, my contact form, just four basic form fields, this doesn't need too much information. But if I click the button here, this is set up a little bit differently. This is actually using something called spry validation. But notice with this type of validation, I get my message very close to where the form field is located.
I also have the form fields show up in red. If I first load this form. We'll reload the the page here and when I do that, you can see how there's no color inside the form field. When I click this, it's red, and if I end up typing incorrect information, you can see while I'm typing it's yellow, and if I click. And send correct information in that field, it turns so spry validation also includes some CSS features, and you certainly don't have to keep this color arrangement you can customize it if you want.
But it's built in to spry automatically, so this is spry validation. Spry validation is client side. This form does not leave my computer and get sent back to the server unless there is corrected data inside of it. And there is pros and cons to all these different methods of form field validation, so as we go to do each one I'll talk about. The specific pros and cons of that particular method. But all of these processes involve the form page itself.
Then when you click the Submit button, the data inside the form, whatever I put inside these fields, gets sent to the web server. And on the web server, there must be some kind of page information, some kind of a form script, generally referred to as the action script. That takes that form data and does something to it. Now if I fill out this form correctly and click this button, then I will actually get an email in my email system. There's a script sitting on the server, that takes the information that the user puts inside each of these, puts it into an email for me. And actually sends the email so I receive it.
So there's the form page here, and let me go ahead and fill this out so you can see. So, bear with me while I type this out. I'll just say hello. Hello there. Now, when I go to send this. I'm actually going to be taken to a thank you page. So, this is another page. So, in order to create this form process, I need the form. I need a script on the server, that's known as the action page. And then I also need some additional information, somewhere to send the user once they've submitted the form.
So there are three steps for this form to email process, and we're going to take a look at building all of those. So that is the basic process for a form and how it works, and we'll put together all of those pieces during this course.
- Installing XAMPP on a Windows system
- Installing MAMP on a Mac system
- Using admin consoles
- Creating PHP pages
- Commenting code
- Working with web forms
- Adding custom validation
- Using redirects
- Dealing with email issues

WOODSTOWN — A special meeting to raise awareness about human trafficking will be held at the Woodstown Presbyterian Church on Wednesday, Nov. 13.
"Freedom Night" will address the shocking facts about current issues with human trafficking, as well as reaching out to the community to discuss what can be done to help victims.
FBI agents who have personally worked in the field to help victims, along with representatives from Covenant House and Dining for Dignity will be at the meeting from 6 to 8 p.m. and will provide statistics and true stories.
The church, located off Auburn Road, will open its doors to anyone concerned about this topic.
Dinner and a panel discussion, along with a question-answer informational will be offered.
Voluntary donations of $5 to $10 will help cover dinner but are not mandatory.
According to Woodstown Mayor Don Dietrich, the modern-day slavery exists in which victims are lured and then forced into prostitution or low-wage jobs.
The majority of FBI cases within the country frequently find victims under the age of 18.
"Personally, I am very encouraged to see people in Woodstown Presbyterian Church and in Woodstown and surrounding municipalities taking a lead in making residents of Salem County aware of this cruel injustice that exists in 21st-century America," Dietrich said.
The first step, the mayor continued, is to bring attention to the existence of human trafficking, then raise awareness, free the victims, and prosecute the perpetrators.
"Everyone in Woodstown and our area should feel proud that a focus is being brought to bear here about the evil in our society," Dietrich said.
Associate Pastor of Woodstown Presbyterian Church Eryn Mera is planning the event.
"Our church has been inspired to put on the Freedom Night because we want to provide a stage where people can get more educated in human trafficking in their own back yard," Mera said.
"We are just inspired to bring what is in the darkness into the light, to educate, and hopefully to gain an interest to respond locally."

With news of the Brad Pitt-Jennifer Aniston split rocking Hollywood, we thought it would be a good moment to check in on some star relationships that are going well. Carmen Electra recently shared some of the details of her romantic holiday getaway with rocker-husband Dave Navarro. "We went to Santa Barbara to Bacara (Resort and Spa)," she revealed at the Volkswagen 2005 Jetta launch party at L.A. club The Lot. "It was supposed to be our honeymoon but it rained the whole time. So we're going to plan to go to an island, maybe go to Hawaii or something. But it was beautiful. It just rained. So we had a lot of spa time. We did a lot of treatments and massage and stuff like that. I love to get massaged. Dave's the opposite because he doesn't like to be touched. He was really bored but I had a great time. We didn't go anywhere. We watched movies and we stayed in the room. It was very romantic."
Rosario Dawson, who arrived at the party holding hands with her beau, Sex and the City star Jason Lewis, gushed about their trip to Maui. "I went for the New Year. It was my first time," she said. "I was staying with a bunch of friends and they have this little commune-almost thing that's set up where they eat their own vegetables. Maui's beautiful. The water was pretty freezing but we ended up doing a lot of waterfalls and natural pools kind of thing, which was really nice. It was so gorgeous. We had this really incredible experience. (Jason and I) missed Thanksgiving and Christmas together because our families are on separate coasts, so it was nice to do New Year's together."
Meanwhile, blink-182's Travis Barker and his wife, former Playboy centerfold and Miss USA Shanna Moakler, chatted at the Jetta party about their upcoming MTV reality show, Meet the Barkers. "We've been filming for like six months," Moakler told us. "We wanted to be totally real. It's basically him being a musician, me being an actress, raising our children." Added Barker: "She's a nude model and an actress so, right off the bat, you probably think, 'Not a good mom,' but she's an amazing mom. We have a 1-year-old and a 5-year-old. They're my first priority besides my wife. (The show is) super sincere. It's so sincere. I'm the first person to say reality television sucks and I don't like it and I don't watch it. But this is so genuine and sincere." The show is set to begin airing in the spring. Stay tuned...

Media Relaese: Development rights on Oudekraal property
Date: 2002-06-20
CAPE TOWN'S environmental community is over the moon at today's High Court judgment that controversial Cape Town landowner Kasper Wiehahn does not have township development rights on his Oudekraal property adjoining Camps Bay.
"I'm absolutely overjoyed," said Cape Peninsula National Park Manager, Howard Langley. The Muslim community is also likely to welcome the decision, which confirms the historical, religious and cultural significance of the many Muslim graves and kramats (shrines) on the property. SA National Parks was one of the respondents in the Cape Town High Court action brought by Wiehahn in an attempt to confirm township development rights on Portion 7 of his Oudekraal property. But his application was today dismissed with costs by Judge Denis Davis.
The other respondents were the City of Cape Town, the provincial Minister of Local Government and Development Planning and the South African Heritage Resources Agency (formerly the National Monuments Council). Only the province did not oppose Wiehahn's application for an order confirming his township development rights.
When in 1996 Wiehahn announced details of a huge new residential development on Portion 7 of his Oudekraal property adjoining Camps Bay and Bakoven, there was a major public outcry and the biggest demonstration yet seen around a local environmental issue. Despite widespread opposition, Wiehahn applied to the then Cape Town city council to approve his plan for engineering services for the development. But the city turned down his application after obtaining legal advice that the township development rights, initially granted by the then Administrator in 1957 for 237 residential erven and three for a school and two electricity sub-stations, had lapsed.
This was because of a technical non-compliance relating to extensions granted for the submission of general plans for the township between 1958 and 1961, after the Administrator's initial approval. Although he had contrary legal opinion at the time, Wiehahn did not pursue the matter then. In April this year, he launched High Court action in which he asked for a declaratory order confirming that he did indeed have township rights.
In his judgment, Davis agreed with lawyers acting for the various respondents, who had argued that the township rights had been improperly obtained from the then Administrator and therefore invalidly registered with the Registrar of Deeds.
Judge Davis said the grant of the application for township approval on September 17 1957 had lapsed after 12 months without the submission of a general township plan. "Accordingly, the approval which was eventually granted was a nullity. The invalidity of the Administrator's actions could not be undone by the registration which appeared in the Deeds Registry, Judge Davis said. "It is permissible for all respondents to raise the invalidity of the Administrator's actions as a defence to the application which has been brought by the applicant. "The effect of the invalidity of the Administrator's actions is that the applicant cannot rely on township rights to justify the relief which it seeks from this Court."
Referring to the presence of Muslim graves and kramats on the property, Judge Davis said these were of "profound religious, cultural and historical importance to the Muslim community".
To have exercised a discretion in favour of Wiehahn - judges have discretionary power when making declaratory orders - would have been to minimise the legitimate constitutional rights which the Muslim community now enjoyed.
"In 1994, the cultural religious and ethnic diversity of the country finally was recognised as an asset of the entire South African nation Š "By contrast, applicant seeks to rely on approvals granted during the 1950s and 1960s under an egregiously immoral regime and in circumstances where law, even at that time, was not properly followed." Wiehahn was not in court to hear the judgment.
Asked about a possible appeal his attorney, Milton Koumbatis, replied: "Let us read the judgement first, then we'll see."
Judge Davis ordered Wiehahn to pay the costs of the application, including the costs of two advocates for each of the respondents who opposed the action. Judge Anton Veldhuizen concurred.

December is the time when we at St. Canice Church in Nevada City celebrate the liturgical season of Advent which marks the time of spiritual preparation by the faithful for Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ. This spiritual journey spans for four weeks or four Sundays as symbolically represented by the advent wreath which consists of four candles and each candle is lit every Sunday.
When we think about Jesus' first coming as a child on Christmas Day, we can't help but be happy. Simply thinking about the manger scene in Bethlehem reminds us of how much God loves us. We feel moved to gather with family and friends and celebrate the fact that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God and our Savior, became man and lived among us so that he could redeem us. There is so much to celebrate not only that God became human. Jesus became man to subject himself to the limitations of human life and subjected himself to death on the cross for our forgiveness of sins and for our salvation and set us free. Come celebrate Advent/Christmas Season with us - family, friends and visitors. Masses are Saturdays, Vigil Mass 5:30 p.m., Sundays at 8 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.;Daily Mass 7:30 a.m.

The 5 Worst Attempts to Start a Catchphrase in Rap History
Lil Jon is the worst rapper you've ever heard until you're the exact right amount of drunk at a big party, and then you feel like every song he's ever written was made just for you.
"You're the voice of a generation!"
"White Meat" is a Lil Jon track off Crunk Juice, which was a very fun sentence for me to type. Lil Jon doesn't cover a lot of ground in his songs; he raps about partying as hard as possible, and he raps about fighting and being tough. Sometimes there will be a crossover, where he raps about a party that went so crazy that he ended up fighting someone, or the rare reverse of that, where a fight got so crazy that he just had to start dancing.
"White Meat" is one of the angry, fighty raps, and when he says "White Meat" in this song, he's specifically referring to your bones. He's going to beat you "to the white meat," meaning he's going to beat you so hard that he'll see your bones.
Examples of Usage
I heard you (FELLAS!) don't like me, like me
I know you boys wanna fight me, fight me
I know where yo kids and yo wife be, wife be
Bust a (FELLA'S!) head to the white meat, white meat.
-- Lil Jon's "White Meat"
I also found a song called "To Da White Meat" by (currently unsigned) rapper Fam B.I., who, according to his Myspace page, has a Myspace page.
Why It Never Really Caught On
Oh, Lil Jon. Bones aren't meat, you goofball!
Look at all of that delicious white meat.
Also, by its nature, this just isn't a phrase that can be picked up by the mainstream -- it can only be used in other rap songs (and apparently only by obscure local rappers, like Fam B.I.). No real human would use that phrase if they were about to get in a fight. Whoever their opponent is would just say "Dude, you can't steal trash talk; that's a lyric from a Lil Jon song" (or "that's a lyric from a Fam B.I. song," if your opponent happened to have seen Fam B.I. performing at his local open mic night or whatever).
Any scenario wherein you're using "beat you to the white meat" as a threat will end poorly. Either everyone will dismiss you for stealing a rap lyric in the middle of a very serious fight, or they won't have heard the song, so you'll have to explain that "white meat" means "bone," and then they'll say "That's stupid," but you can't hear them, because also they're punching you, right in the eye-meat.
One of the first singles from Watch the Throne, the highly anticipated collaboration album between Kanye West (very famous) and Jay-Z (very talented), was called "H.A.M." and, throughout the song, Misters West and Z continuously remind everyone that, when they're going out, they're going "H.A.M.: Hard as a Muthafucka." They claim that they're going hard as muthafuckas so people know who they are, but let's be real; everyone knows who Kanye West and Jay-Z are. The only reason that every chorus of this song is literally "I'm going H.A.M.: Hard as a muthafucka" is just to make "H.A.M." a thing.
Examples of Usage
I'm going HAM. Hard as a muthafucka.
Just listen to the song. And listen to how cavalier Jay and Kanye are about tossing H.A.M. around like it was already a thing. Shut up, guys.
Shut the fuck up.
Why It Never Really Caught On
The very first time I heard this song, it made me think of the movie Mean Girls. Mean Girls is about a bunch of high school girls of varying levels of popularity and niceness. One of them (Gretchen), desperate to make her mark on the school, repeatedly uses the word "fetch," an abbreviation of "fetching" (like "totes" or "adorbz"). She tries to just drop it nonchalantly in the middle of a conversation, hoping that a few friends would hear it and start spreading it around until, eventually, the whole school would be saying "fetch!" Her dreams are crushed when the meanest of the mean girls orders her to stop saying "fetch," as "'Fetch' is never going to be a thing."
That's what I think of when I hear "H.A.M." Jay-Z and Kanye acting like a high school girl desperately trying to coin the new hip slang.
"H.A.M" is never going to be a thing, you guys.
Because it's stupid. Because no one, even the hardest among us, will ever feel comfortable telling his friends, "I can't stay in and play board games with you all, as I will be out going H.A.M. all night long. Don't wait up; going H.A.M. is sort of an all-night affair, I'm told. I'm sort of the H.A.Mster of this group and -- You know what, I just heard what I sound like and no one's ever going to have sex with me, screw it, I'll stay home and play board games, this'll be fun."
Daniel O'Brien is Cracked.com's senior writer (ladies) and is thrilled that H.A.M. will never be a thing (Kanye).

Etal Flower Show may be one of the smallest flower shows in Northumberland, but this year its got some big ideas to get young people involved.
The show, which takes place on September 7, has launched new classes to encourage both the younger generation and those who are relatively new to showing.
New classes for children include a fruit plant grown from a pip or a stone. They can also enter the novice classes specifically introduced for entrants who have not previously won 1st prize in a vegetable class at Etal Show. These include three potatoes, two courgettes, and a truss of tomatoes.
This year's Lord Joicey Special Class for 2014 is "GATES" - a mounted display of four photographs.
New classes for the green fingered include an exotic plant of any variety, while those who prefer to bake can enter a wedge of quiche and three sausage rolls.
Committee member Richard Baker said: "Many of the classes are the traditional classes, however the committee are always keen to introduce new classes to encourage new entrants, and to link in with changing trends."
The Michael Edward Joicey Family Salver will be awarded to the parents and children who collectively gain the most points throughout the show.
Last year' winners were the Armstrong Family from Milfield. Sarah Armstrong said her children Hannah and Ellie really enjoyed taking part.
"They love to grow their own vegetables and fruit as well as being creative," she said. "From my perspective it is great to see everyone getting involved in our local community from a young age."

Globalization, Institutions, and the Ethnic Divide: Recent Longitudinal Evidence

IZA Discussion Paper No. 6459
This paper investigates the determinants of economic growth emphasizing the role of institutional quality, social fragmentation, and increasing global integration on recent growth experience. Our longitudinal data consists of 103 countries covering the period 1992-2005. We find that democracies have significantly outperformed autocracies over the sample period and the security of property rights has played a critical role in promoting economic growth. Ethnic heterogeneity has been a significant impediment to growth but religious and linguistic heterogeneity have not. Further, while economic globalization has had a general beneficial impact on economic growth, societies marked by greater ethnic heterogeneity have actually gained more from global integration. This suggests the importance of globalization in redressing the detrimental impact of ethnic cleavages in society (Hegre et al, 2003; Bhagwati, 2004; Mousseau and Mousseau, 2008; Dreher et al, 2008).
