Clearwater, Florida -- Clearwater Police have released a sketch of who they believe is a suspect in the carjacking attempt at Westfield Countryside Mall on Feb. 2.
Police talked with a witness who believes she saw the man before he attempted to carjack a 24-year-old Largo mother, who was with her two kids, at gunpoint in the mall parking lot.
St. Petersburg, Florida -- Detectives are asking for the public's assistance in stopping a growing problem: the crime of auto burglary.
Since 2012, auto burglaries in the City have increased by 45 percent and detectives report that a vast majority of these incidents could have easily been prevented.
Chaleeta Green says her car was targeted in her own driveway.
"It was just like any other day: I picked my daughter up, dropped her at school, did some errands. I went to get my wallet and it was gone."
Clearwater, Florida -- A Largo man was arrested for DUI and child neglect outside a fast food restaurant Super Bowl Sunday after police found him intoxicated behind the wheel with his 4-year-old son in the back seat.
Shortly after the game, around 10:30 p.m., David Timothy Higgins pulled into the drive-thru at the Wendy's at 900 S. Missouri Ave. to order food. The manager noticed he was intoxicated and had a child in the back seat, so she asked him to pull his car over while she waited on his food to cook. Instead, she called Clearwater Police.
Clearwater, Florida -- Clearwater police are searching for a man who attempted to carjack a woman at gunpoint at Westfield Countryside Mall Sunday afternoon.
Police say the 24-year-old woman outside her car between Macy's and J.C. Penney with her two school-aged children when a man approached her. He then pulled out a silver or chrome handgun, pulled back the slide and demanded her vehicle.

Clearwater, Florida -- The Pasco doctor who spent time in jail after 10 Investigates allegations he had fondled several patients is back in jail again!
Dr. Gunwant Dhaliwal was convicted Thursday by a Pinellas jury on weapons charges.
Dhaliwal was sentenced to one-year probation but must serve 60 days of the probation in jail. He also has to undergo a psychiatric valuation, anger management training, forfeit the weapon involved and is not allowed to have a firearm during probation.
LARGO, Florida (AP) - A Tampa Bay area man has been sentenced to four years in prison for a fatal drunken driving crash.
The victim was Michael Graziano, whose brother John was left in a vegetative state following a crash involving the son of professional wrestler Hulk Hogan.
RELATED: John Graziano released from hospital
Pinellas Park, Florida -- A man who allegedly shot his mother's fiance and then himself New Year's Day died at Bayfront Hospital Thursday afternoon.
Pinellas Park Police say Anthony McClaney, 29, and his family were staying at the Town Place Suites Marriott Hotel after they were displaced from their Largo home due to a fire.

Culture Shock
By Steven Robert Allen
It's always encouraging to see struggling local artists take their creative destinies into their own hands. Case in point: I just received the debut issue of the Donkey Journal. Printed nine times per year, this attractive local contemporary arts periodical comes in the form of a simple folded poster. It's produced by David Leigh, Larry Bob Phillips and Sherlock Terry, three Albuquerque artists who recently opened the nonprofit Donkey Gallery (1415 Fourth Street SE) to exhibit their own art and that of other underrepresented artists.

The Dot of the Polka
Stacy Hawkinson's Solo Show at the Downtown Contemporary Art Center
By Steven Robert Allen
Stacy Hawkinson is a big fan of the polka dot. As you walk up the wide stairs just inside the entrance of the Downtown Contemporary Art Center (105 Fourth Street SW), the first thing you'll see are brightly painted Styrofoam balls floating above your head like strange interplanetary fruit. Once you get to the top of the stairs, you'll notice brightly colored dots bouncing through the entire exhibit.

Nickel and Dimed
Rodey Theatre
By Steven Robert Allen
Barbara Ehrenreich's bestselling 2001 book, Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Making It in America, chronicled the lives of the working poor in America in a highly effective way. Taking three low-wage jobs for a month each, Ehrenreich tried to make ends meet and soon discovered the task was impossible. Joan Holden has now translated Nickel and Dimed to the stage. A production of Holden's provocative play, directed by the very talented Eugene Douglas, will be staged at UNM's Rodey Theatre beginning this weekend. Oct. 8 to 9 and 21 to 23 at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 10 at 2 p.m. $12 general, $8 seniors, $6 students. 925-5858 or www.tickets.com.
Book Review
Review by Steven Robert Allen
The Inner Circle
Alfred Kinsey's studies of human sexuality were revolutionary when first published in the '40s and '50s. Even from the vantage of our own sexually sophisticated era, the information revealed in Kinsey's two famous volumes—Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948) and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (1953)—still have the power to shock the bejesus out of us. (Who knew, for example, that so many people had so much sex with so many barnyard animals?)

By Cheryl Rodewig, The BayonetApril 22, 2010
FORT BENNING, Ga. - For 94-year-old World War II veteran COL(R) Aaron Cohn, serving as guest speaker for the Days of Remembrance service helped fulfill a promise he made nearly 65 years ago to an Austrian who, like Cohn, was Jewish.
"In May 1945, he held my hand in a tight grasp ... and with a tearful plea he said to me, 'Major Cohn ... promise me you will tell the world what has happened here in this place, and that you will do all within your personal power to make sure this never shall happen in your great country.' I gave him my pledge," Cohn said.
The man was a survivor of the Ebensee, Austria, concentration camp - the camp that Cohn's unit, the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, liberated.
For the past several years, Cohn has kept his promise by sharing his memories of World War II. The Columbus native retold his history of the Holocaust to more than 250 Soldiers and civilians April 15 at Fort Benning's annual Holocaust commemorative service.
His goal, he said, was to pass on his firsthand experiences, so others could learn from the horrors of the Nazi-dictated genocide.
"I shall tell you this: Unless you saw it, smelled the death, saw the cadavers ... it was almost inconceivable for any person to believe that man could be so inhumane and monstrous," Cohn said. "Truly, it was a carnal death camp, structured by a government for the liquidation of its enemies."
"The Holocaust, at least in modern history, is probably the greatest tragedy the world has ever seen," said George Steuber, deputy garrison commander, who attended the service. "Six million Jews and almost a matching number of other ethnic groups is just a massive slaughter. And that's just what people estimate. It's almost impossible to document how many people were killed."
The theme for the commemorative service, "Stories of Freedom: What You Do Matters," underscored the importance of personal responsibility, he said.
"You're always in situations tempted to turn a blind eye," Steuber said. "What could the German guards have done in those prison camps' More importantly, what could those civilians surrounding the camp have done'"
Steuber said his father, a first generation German American who served as an artilleryman in GEN George Patton's Third Army, was shocked that no one near one of the camps seemed to know what was happening inside.
"It was so obvious - the stench from the camps, the absolute walking cadavers," Steuber said. "We can never forget that man is capable of horrendous inhumanity to his fellow man, and we, as the land of the free and home of the brave, should always have a leadership role in making sure those things don't happen again. It can happen anywhere, and we can't shy away from saying this is wrong and doing something about it. We need to always be on our guard."

Born Again
Coming Out of a 19-Year Coma, Terry Wallis Finds He Has a Lot to Learn About Life—Especially His Own
Still, for the next 19 years, Angilee, 55, hoped for a miracle, visiting her son twice a week at a rehab center near the family ranch in rural Round Mountain, Ark., to talk to him and hold his hand. But although Terry, now 39, could swallow food and open his eyes, he never uttered a word. That is, until June 11, when his mother showed up to see him and a nurse asked him who the visitor was. "Mom," he replied. Says Angilee: "I nearly fell over. Terry was grinning. I ran to him and hugged him. I said, 'Say it again!' "
He has—and more. Within five days of his awakening, Terry had begun speaking in simple sentences. Seeing his daughter, Amber, now 19 and married, for the first time, he declared, "I love you—you're so beautiful." Regaining consciousness after so many years is so rare that no statistics are kept, but experts believe Terry may hold the record for reviving after the longest period in a vegetative state. "It really is incredible," says Dr. James E. Zini, medical director of the Stone County Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Mountain View, Ark., where Terry has lived since 1985. "We don't know what happened. He has a restorative potential that we never dreamed he had."
No comeback can restore the world he left behind. At the time of the accident, Terry was a newlywed with a 2-month-old daughter, Amber. But his bride, Sandy, then 17, moved on. She gave birth to three more children with another man and later dated Terry's brother Perry. Still, Sandy, who didn't divorce her husband, says she never stopped pulling for his full recovery. "My life," she says, "always had to be waiting for this." She insisted Amber visit Terry in the nursing home—often over her daughter's objections. "When I was 12," recalls Amber Wallis Cassulis, who works in a nightclub, "I said I didn't want to see him like that anymore."
Angilee's commitment never wavered. After obtaining legal guardianship of her son nine years ago, she and husband Jerry, 59, a farmer, spent untold hours at the nursing home, 22 miles from their hardscrabble homestead, and brought Terry home every other weekend and for holidays. "It's been a long 19 years," says Angilee, who works at a shirt factory. "But whatever shape he was in, he was still Terry." A man of few words, Jerry broke down when his son said, "Dad," after two decades of silence, calling it "the best Father's Day present I ever had."
The oldest of four children, Terry grew up a country boy who preferred tinkering with cars to academics and quit school in the 11th grade. "He was a mechanical genius," recalls Perry, 37. "There wasn't anything he couldn't fix." The night of July 12, 1984, Terry rode off with two buddies and never returned. The next morning the pickup was found in a gully, 12 feet below a bridge. One of his friends was virtually unhurt; the other died a week later.
Asked today about the accident, Terry insists he never had one. He recognizes his parents and siblings and has memories of life before the fateful night, but cannot grasp all that has happened since. The extent of permanent brain damage he has suffered is still unknown. "Sometimes he says, 'You're my baby girl,' and sometimes he doesn't seem to know me," says Amber. Adds Angilee: "He doesn't really ask about anything." He did want to check out her cell phone though. "He asked me to call his grandmother," she says, "and rattled off her number from 1984."
Worried that bad news might slow his recovery, the family still hasn't told him that his grandmother died in 2000. For the same reason, relatives haven't mentioned his wife's past relationships. But while Terry's speech is slurred and his thoughts are often confused, he still has a sense of humor. "Are you good-looking?" asked his mother when PEOPLE visited. Answered Terry, with a laugh: "You can see that!"
He hasn't lost his determination either. "The other day, he told me, 'I can do anything I want to do,' " Angilee says. "Then I said, 'Well, don't you think it's about time you started wanting to walk?' And he said, 'Yes!' " So can he beat paralysis? "The clinical answer is no," says Dr. Zini. "But I never thought he would talk again, either."

The Report of the Officer Development Board
Maj-Gen Roger Rowley and the Education of the Canadian Forces
Paper 370 pp.
Release Date:
Online discount: 25%
$49.95 $37.46
This volume presents the original text of a groundbreaking study on professional education for the Canadian officer corpsThe Report of the Officer Development Board, from 1969, is commonly called the Rowley Report after its primary author, Maj. Gen. Roger Rowley, and its analysis and recommendations have been used extensively over the last forty years to help define learning needs and education strategies for officers of the Canadian Forces. Also included are three new essays that provide context for the report.
The Rowley Report begins by describing the complex state of international relations and global trends, and then lays out the cognitive competencies and knowledge requirements as well as the ethos needed by officers to perform effectively. The supplementary essays examine the lasting impact of the report and the development of intellectual ideas, more commonly referred to as "doctrine," within the Canadian Army. The final essay is an account by Rowley himself in which he discusses the challenges he faced in producing the report.
The Rowley Report has been lauded by leaders from other militaries and by civilian educators in Canada. With the addition of these essays, this volume offers unique cultural and pedagogical insights to Canada's military leadership.
Colonel Randall Wakelam is a former air force officer and military educator who has commanded a helicopter squadron and taught senior military leaders and executives. His is currently a research associate at the Laurier Centre for Military Strategic and Disarmament Studies and is the author of The Science of Bombing: Operational Research in RAF Bomber Command>/i> (2009).
Howard G. Coombs is an Assistant Professor of the Royal Military College of Canada currently with the Directorate of Learning Innovation at the Canadian Defence Academy. He is also a part-time reserve officer affiliated with the Princess of Wales' Own Regiment, an infantry unit based in Kingston, and currently serving as the programme director for distance learning at the Canadian Forces College, Toronto, Ontario.

I wonder if someone could help with this problem.
I have 3 dns servers sitting behind a foundry serveriron hardware load
balancer. They are all running bind 9.4.2-p1 with identical config files.
By default the servers have recursion switched on i.e there's no recursion
command in the config file
One of our users is having problems with 2 out of 3 web servers he's trying
to get to - our squid cash claims that it can't resolve the addresses.
Training.in-tend.co.uk - resolves on all the servers making up the hunt
In-tendhost.co.uk doesn't resolve on any of the servers making up the hunt
In-tendorganiser.co.uk doesn't resolve on any of the servers making up the
hunt group
I then removed one of the servers from the load balancing config and added
the recursion off option to the config.
Training.in-tend.co.uk doesn't resolve on this server
In-tendhost.co.uk does
In-tendorganiser does
Any idea how i might resolve this?

Justice in Many Rooms Since Galanter: De-Romanticizing Legal Pluralism Through the Cultural Defense
Mitra J. Sharafi
University of Wisconsin Law School
Law and Contemporary Problems, Vol. 71, pp. 139-146, Spring 2008
University of Wisconsin Legal Studies Research Paper No. 1095
Marc Galanter's article, 'Justice in Many Rooms' (1981) was prescient in recognizing that nonstate law was not necessarily kinder and gentler than state law. While many writing in the 1970s and 80s celebrated nonstate law as more egalitarian and less coercive than state law, Galanter held back. Post-1980s critiques of the cultural defense, particularly by Asian American feminist lawyers, have also contributed to a shift in the scholarly perception of nonstate law. In the spirit of Galanter's piece, the cultural defense debate should be read not just as a discussion about multicultural tolerance, but also as an integral part of the legal pluralism literature.

A number of serious medical conditions present with a sign that can only be detected visually. Reiss et al,1 in their excellent article, point out that color blindness impairs recognition of blood in body fluids and thus can delay the recognition and diagnosis of an important diagnosis, such as a genitourinary or bronchogenic neoplasm. They state that physicians should be aware of this possibility in their color-blind patients and that regular laboratory testing of body fluids might be in order. Imagine then the plight of visually impaired individuals who not only may have difficulty with color vision, but also cannot perceive fine detail. Indeed, we have heard blind persons express their deep-seated fear of not being able to identify such a sign of morbidity, and they even cite examples of the serious consequences of late diagnosis among their visually impaired acquaintances.

Featured Golf News
Maryland Course Sold at Auction
The 27-hole Hunters Oak Golf Club in Queenstown, Md., has been sold at auction. The 448-acre facility, which includes an 18-hole links-style course, a nine-hole Parkland layout, a clubhouse, Scottish pub and grill, pro shop, Olympic-size pool, tennis courts and maintenance building, was bought by Charles and Vivian Shih of McLean, Va.
The Shihs paid $2.3 million for the property. According to the Shihs' realtor, James Flaherty of Long & Foster in Stevensville, there won't be any changes to the facility or its operations.
"The intent is there will be no change in operation. It will remain as a golf club under the same management and with all the same employees," Flaherty told reporter Shauna Thompson of CecilWhig.com.
"Mr. Shih asked me to tell the auctioneer to tell (previous owner) Mr. (Louis) Schaefer that he is retaining all current employees and will hire back seasonal employees this spring . . . They will be contacting members and introducing themselves very soon and invite all perspective new members as well," said Flaherty.
"(Shih) is a very good businessman, a lover of nature and a lover of golf," Flaherty added.
Hunters Oak is part of River Plantation, a 1,000-acre resort off Carmichael Road. The facility also has shooting and hunting activities, two bed and breakfasts, and the golf course and country club.

Earth Hour is a global event first started by the World Wide Fund for Nature or WWF. The event urges people across different counties to turn their off their lights and go dark for one hour in order to raise awareness on the effects climate change—a problem that has become more pronounced than ever. This year, Earth Hour was celebrated on March 31 2012, starting form 8:30 pm till 9:30 pm, local time.
As people turn their lights off, it's important to keep the whole point of the activity in mind. In today's busy and fast lifestyle, having an hour of our daily schedule committed to not using any electricity will need discipline. We need to take the whole point of the activity outside the hour and fit it to our lifestyle. There are those who will quickly point out that an hour of being 'off the grid' is insignificant in terms of saving energy, but we at LiquidLEDs believe that Earth Hour is more of a symbolic event.
It is inspirational that more than 1.3 billion people worldwide got together and participated in the event. It symbolizes the need for us to become more aware of the changes caused by overusing our resources and the damages it is causing. Many people are now inspired to take the message of Earth Hour to their everyday routines by simply changing the bulbs they use at home to more eco-friendly and energy-saving lights, such as LEDs.
Solid-state LEDs have the potential of playing a big role in reducing the energy consumption in our homes and offices. These lights can save more than 80% of the total energy a traditional lighting system consumes. These bulbs also last much longer and can save big on operating costs. According to new studies, if these efficient lights where used globally, the whole world could gain 40% in power savings. This is equal to about 1.5 million containers of oil or 555 million tons worth of CO2 a year.
The advantage of using LEDs goes past lighting functionality and power efficiency. They provide good lighting for public areas, which enable people to conduct activities until the late hours of nighttime in safety. Well lighted public places also minimizes crime rate. LED lights are able to make landmarks appear more astonishing and beautiful, thereby increasing the pride of the residents.
Earth Hour may have already come and gone, but that doesn't mean you can't take its message to heart. Switch to LEDs and go beyond the hour.

After my meltdown a couple of weeks ago, I buckled down and kept reading The Sound and the Fury. It wasn't entirely to prove to myself I could read a challenging book, though that did play a small part. I kept reading because as I progressed through the novel, it became easier to understand. Did I understand all of it? No. But, I understood enough to be glad I finished it. Will I read more Faulkner? Maybe. This time, however, I will know what I'm getting into.
As far as a review goes, there isn't much to say and I am sure whatever I say will be wrong or shallow or ignorant. The Sound and the Fury (★★★) is about the dissolution of a Southern aristocratic family, told in stream of consciousness from multiple points of view. The characters are equal parts fascinating and frustrating. I would love to see it filmed. It would be difficult but if handled correctly could be a great film, or a great mini-series on HBO or AMC.

Good for you!
))Happy dance((
Good for you!
do you mean that they've faded from purple or they are totally and completely gone? how long have you had them? how extensive were they?
my primal journal:
Hopefully mine go away too. I'm trying to build muscle to fill out the skin - worked great for my arms but my gut will need some more time and core conditioning :P
I'm a guy though and I'm okay with carrying around these "battle scars" - just hoping I don't end up with a pouch of skin over my gut!
Omg I hope this happens to me as well! How long have you been primal for? I have really bad marks across my entire belly thanks to 3 kids. Not sure I'll ever be bikini-ready with all these battle-scars.
I would look alittle harder. Stretch marks are stretched skin so they can fade but never go away. Sorry to burst anyones bubble.
It was never really bad, nothing like three times pregnant. But still something I was ashamed of as a young (24yr old) male. I've had them for 6 years or so. And you guys are right, if I feel they are still there (though significantly less present). But there's nothing to see anymore.
I've been primal for 10 months.
I think not being able to see them is as good as gone. I hope one day I can say the same!!!! Good for you!!!
it seems for nearly all of us they go back to regular skin tone .... mine have which is as good as gone til i really look, and im GREAT with that!

This was my husband's and my first B&B experience, and it was lovely! Mrs. Lesko was warm, kind and helpful, and it was a great experience. We felt comfortable and taken care of. The service was wonderful, and not suffocating in any way (which is what I feared the B&B experience might be like!). The house is pretty and homey, and our room was simple and full of country charm. The breakfast was delicious, with a spotlight on rhubarb which is in season right now. This was a very charming and pleasant experience, and we will stay again, and recommend to others.

My husband and I spent a night at the Knoll this past February and loved it. The house is gorgeous and the breakfast was delicious - and included homemade strawberry jam! The hostess couldn't have been nicer, and we'd stay again in a heartbeat.

IN THE last chapter of his book, The Effective Investor, Franco Busetti asks local fund managers for the best advice they can give an investor. Here is a sample of their responses:
Buy shares on the most attractive valuation multiples, that is the highest dividend yields, lowest price:earnings ratios and price-to- book multiples. Don't bother with macroeconomic forecasts.
Remember, there are no new paradigms. Beware of advice accompanied by the words "this time it's different". All investments revert to the mean in the long term. John Biccard, Investec Value Fund manager, Investec Asset Management.
Successful investing requires accepting four basic tenets. First, investing is simple. If investors stick with quality and generous yields ... they are more than likely to succeed. However, simplicity should never be confused with being easy. Secondly, be realistic.
Beating indices or fellow investors by huge margins is not possible for most of us. Be content with doing slightly better than most. Thirdly, do not follow the herd. Most investors lack the perspective and emotional detachment to invest well.
Finally, the common advice of investing for the long term is sound. Almost all unpredictability occurs over the short term. In the long run, risk is substantially reduced. Charles Booth, former chief investment officer, RMB Asset Management .
Never let emotions rule your investment decisions. Always believe in mean-reversion and buy when no one else wants to. Be patient ... be humble, there are many clever people trying to win this game. Be diversified, it's the only free lunch you'll ever get! Simon Hudson-Peacock, head of Specialist Equity, Cadiz African Harvest Asset Management .
Firstly, what's the definition of a stock that's down 90%? It's one that was down 80% . and then halved! Remember this to avoid thinking a stock is cheap. It was more likely just unreasonably priced before. Secondly, keep a long-term focus. Many investors are short term in their outlook.
Various interest groups (including the media) have a vested interest in short-term activity. These groups also tend either to have preferential access to information or to play a major role in its distribution. As a result their influence tends to drive the behaviour of investors. By taking a long-term view that focuses on sustainable real changes to trends, one can avoid this noise, reduce costs and stay above the madding crowd. Matthew Kreeve, head of quants and portfolio manager, Frater Asset Management.
A stock is cheap when the investor understands why it is cheap. Just as you know a person is fat when they walk into a room without knowing their exact weight, you will know a stock is cheap. The corollary to this is that a stock is not cheap based on other people's forecasts. All these provide is comfort, and it is in the sphere of extreme discomfort that the stock picker's best work is done. Piet Viljoen, RE-CM .

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries would like to make big changes to the way whitetail deer are harvested in the state, and most hunters seem to be fine with that.
At Thursday's meeting of the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission, biologist Steve Smith updated commissioners on the response from hunters. So far, it's been little more than a yawn.
To date, the department has received 55 comments -- 48 via email and only seven from public meetings. Of those comments, 34 hunters have favored the changes, while 21 have opposed them.
In addition to placing many portions of the state into new management areas, the department's plan would also bring back doe days. In recent years, hunters in most parts of the state have been allowed to harvest does at their convenience, provided they still had doe tags.
Hunters wishing to make official comment may do so by emailing Deer Study Leader Scott Durham at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 225-765-2800.

Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Marquez V: Nacho Will Leave Decision To Juan
BoxingScene.com reported earlier that Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum has scheduled a Wednesday meeting with Juan Manuel Marquez to discuss a fifth fight with Manny Pacquiao. Last week, Marquez's trainer Nacho Beristain explained that he doesn't see a reason for a fifth fight with Pacquiao, and similar comments have been made by Juan Manuel in several interviews.
Even though there have been four battles, with the last one being won by Marquez with a sixth round knockout, Nacho says there is still a lot of interest in a fifth meeting. While he doesn't like the idea of a fifth fight, he will leave the final decision in the hands of Juan Manuel.

Fight the Dubai guy! 15million tax free for an easy win??!!? No Brainer! too bad he is likely under contract with Arum, and Bob will likely not allow that fight to be made.
People can argue all day about Pac v Marquez 1-3 about who won, got robbed, etc. but no one can argue the 4th installment. if you can make equal or similar money elsewhere, then DO IT!

As a fan of PAC I really think there's no point to a 5th fight. And I'm not saying this in fear of PAC might lose or what not. I say this because marquez knocked PAC out. When u get knocked out In a rivalry match then that's it. Suck it up and take it as a lost and move forward. If a 5th fight was to be made and PAC was to get the win then its just gonna repeat itself again. So as a PAC fan I think PAC should just move on. Maybe a last retirement fight at the end If both fighters are still game but at this moment I don't feel like a 5th fight will do neither fighter any good except make their bank account bigger.

Glossitis with atrophy of the lingual papillae to ultimate baldness constitutes a conspicuous manifestation of a number of diseases. Recent occasion1 has been taken to review this subject. Among the conditions in which the atrophic tongue has been described are pernicious anemia, achlorhydric anemia, anemia of pregnancy, pellagra, sprue, Plummer-Vinson syndrome, malnutrition attended by dysentery and anemia, intestinal stricture, pyloroplasty complicated by peritonitis, Dibothriocephalus latus infestation and achlorhydria. In the quest of an explanation for this interesting phenomenon such an array of conditions may be confusing; yet it offers certain points of logical attack on the problem of pathogenesis.
For a long period the infectious background of the glossitis of pernicious anemia was accepted on the basis of the work of Hunter2 and of Schneider and Carey.3 Later, Wilkinson and Oliver4 and Oatway and Middleton5 observed a definite relationship between the incidence of achlorhydria and

I promise, I'm thankful. Just...not so much around the end of November.
I hate Thanksgiving.
It seems popular to hate Christmas. Lots of people hate Christmas, which is a holiday I love, despite family baggage. But last week the Internet was full of posts of thankfulness and joy. It's a holiday of family and food and more food and who doesn't like that?
I just couldn't muster it. And you sound like an ingrate and an asshole hating thankfulness, right?
The thing is, I used to think it was about weight paranoia and fear of pie and everything food-related. But it isn't.
Honestly, holidays in our house were very stressful. You never knew how my dad might behave on any given day, but Thanksgiving and Christmas tended to be bad ones for him. And consequently for us.
He might drink and be belligerent. He'd certainly be moody. He'd pick on my mom. I'd fight with him because she wouldn't. I can't remember a winter holiday that wasn't stressful and fraught with emotional peril.
The best Thanksgiving I ever had was when I traipsed off to Cancun with Jen just before I started dating Nick. It was so much fun. Nothing but fun. And Latin porn.
Now we go to Nick's family in New Jersey for Thanksgiving. Even when nobody is being an asshole, there's nothing relaxing about it. Typically we drink our faces off. Self-medication, I know, I know. It wasn't an option for me this year.
And fall and winter are not my friends. The lack of light sucks out my soul. I am never at my personal best this season. And pregnancy is its own mindfuck.
Truthfully, I'm kind of struggling. Which is a whole nother post. I'm currently working on the illustrations.
So the Sunday before the holiday, Nick called his mother. He had us all on speakerphone.
Wait, let me back up. Nick has never liked her cooking. So the last several years we ordered a honey baked turkey sent to her house. So we could have delicious turkey and she wouldn't have to do a lot of work.
Turns out she hates turkey. Last year we bought turkey AND ham. They love the pork products. We figured that would make everyone happy.
This year we were told NO MEAT. She wanted to make pork roast. We could bring dessert.
And so on this call, Nick asked, as I mentally clapped my hand over his mouth, "So, mom, what should we bring?"
Before I could give her a chance to say something like "suet pudding" or "lard tart" I said, "We're bringing pumpkin and pecan pies."
Normal, traditional, delicious. No? I love pecan pie.
To which she responded, "Don't bring pumpkin pie. I HATE pumpkin pie. Nobody likes pumpkin pie."
I'm not proud of my behavior, but I will say that for me right now the line between rational and able to bite my tongue and raving batshit crazy is not so much in existence.
And so I said, "That's right! Let's just never fucking have turkey or pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving again!"
She snapped, "It's MY house and I get to have things the way I want them."
She may have said more, but I stormed upstairs, slamming doors and such. Like I said, I'm not proud of any of this.
I raged around. I threatened to stay home with Jordan so Nick would have to go and be miserable all by himself. I was very Very VERY angry. She's unreasonable and immature, yes. But I was fantasizing about fiery car crashes and the like.
Not good at all.
Nick asked me, in the interest of family harmony, to please go, and to behave nicely. We were talking in the kitchen. I was standing at the sink when he said, "We make compromises in marriage. We both do things we don't want to because they're the right thing to do. I'm asking you to do this. Do you agree that it's fair?"
I agreed it was fair, and the right thing to do. And in a small voice added petulantly, "But I just don't want to!"
We went...and most of Thanksgiving evening was incredibly uncomfortable. His mother didn't speak to or look at me except when absolutely necessary. It got better as the night went on, and later in the evening, she invited me to go shopping on Friday.
I got up the next morning, found his mother alone, and apologized for the outburst on the phone. All I could say was that I'm really emotional and irrational right now. And I don't really care about the pie.
She said that the pumpkin pie (because we brought three) turned out to be very popular. She'd had no idea.
And then we were fine.
But I fucking hate Thanksgiving.

I hate Thanksgiving. Really I hate the whole holiday season and all the family crap that comes with it. So, you know. Solidarity. And I can't even blame pregnancy for my crankiness.ReplyDelete
I have to say, I love that you stand up to that woman. That woman sounds so mean -- sorry Nick -- I don't mean it that way, really. But I LOVE that you don't take any of her guff.ReplyDelete
That kind of sounds mean, too. Sorry Nick.
I meant "that woman," not that woman. Sorry Nick.ReplyDelete
I was just going to say, I would have brought, oh...a dozen or so pumpkin pies. Just to make a point.ReplyDelete
But no turkey? no pumpkin pie? That's borderline criminal...
Thanksgiving sucks. It's like going to yearly high school reunion except everyone is family instead. And family expectations and all the extra bullshit are even harder to live up to and deal with.ReplyDelete
I liked your reaction to her rudeness. I would have done the same. How selfish for her to tell you to bring dessert and then specifically what kind of pies you could and couldn't bring! (So glad that backfired in her face!)
Hi 5 for you for taking one for the marriage team and going to the in-laws for dinner. You are a greater lady than I...
You and I must be cut from the same kind of cloth, because I swear to you, as soon as I got knocked up, my edit button flew right out the window.ReplyDelete
But seriously. She sounds like she was just being belligerent and mean spirited. She may not like pumpkin pie, but it doesn't mean that you don't. I host holidays all the time, and just because I don't like rolls doesn't mean I'm going to be all Grinchface about someone bringing them. JFC!
I hate all the holidays mostly too. I'm a little ashamed that every year I have a contingency plan in the back of my mind that I'm just going to avoid everyone and stay home alone. My family is beyond dysfunctional though. I totally would have made the compromise like you did, but I would have also made Nick make a compromise on his end... next year Thanksgiving's at your house on your terms, and if she has a problem with it, you get to give her a dose of her own medicine "It's MY house and I get to have things the way I want them." Unbelievable that anyone old enough to be Nick's mother would say something so stupidly selfish, childish and unmotherly. I hope that doesn't offend Nick... but really I would have told my own mother that she was being unreasonable after something ridiculous like that.ReplyDelete
Perhaps Nick lets Lisa's mother live with them year round, and so one weekend trip a year to the other in-laws isn't so out of balance.ReplyDelete
You have a huge heart, dont ever doubt that. Glad you were able to be with family for Thanksgiving, especially since it was important to Nick.ReplyDelete
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade...or add vodka and throw a party...or squeeze the lemons in life's face and say 'Take that!' Sounds like you did all 3 this thanksgiving, well done. Hugs!
No turkey?!?! No pumpkin pie!?!? Bryan is allergic to poultry, and even he doesn't ask people to not make turkey! Your MIL sounds like a real piece of work. We should put her in the same room with my MIL and let the crappy MILs entertain each other while we avoid having to do anything with them! :)ReplyDelete
- Jocelyn11/28/2011 8:21 PM
My 2 favorite Thanksgivings were the ones that I had to work. One I split a bottle of Wild Turkey (in honor of the holiday) with a co-worker and the other I went and gambled at the casino next door to the casino I worked at by myself. It was absolutely wonderful! This year I spent as much time hiding from my family at the barn drinking beer and pretending I was working on fences.ReplyDelete
bahaha! you make me laugh.ReplyDelete
You have every right to hate Thanksgiving. Families can be so toxic. And families, more than any other relationship, force us to keep learning the lesson (over and over and over) that sometimes we have to do things we really don't want to do. Good for you for being a big girl about it because you love Nick. And I'm glad your MIL was big enough to admit she was wrong too.ReplyDelete
Julie - Thank you for the solidarity. I've hated most Thanksgivings I can remember, and I can only blame pregnancy twice.ReplyDelete
freckledk - She can be very mean. She has a kind heart, and I can recognize that when I'm not enraged. But she can definitely be mean. And so can I. It's not helpful.
Tempest - I had a lot of revenge fantasies. The truth is, she didn't say a thing when she pulled out the pies. If I hadn't made a big deal out of it, she wouldn't have either.
K-Tee - Yes, you are right - so much family expectation and bullshit. My father would have reacted the same way if we were bringing something he didn't like, I'm pretty sure. It's very narcissistic and infuriating. And it wasn't worth jeopardizing my marriage just because I was angry. Nick does a lot lot lot for me and my mom and this was really important to him. Marriage is a fuckload of compromise. I had no idea.
Guacaholic - That's a great way to put it. I have no edit button. None.
And yes, I agree, she was being belligerent and mean spirited. I don't know why Nick asked, because if we'd just turned up with them, it would've been fine. And if I hadn't said anything, and she'd expressed a preference that we then ignored, it would've been fine too. But I just couldn't keep my mouth shut.
Megan - I would LOVE to avoid Thanksgiving completely. If I could stay home alone and watch movies, I would be delighted. The problem is that his sisters and their families are up there as well, and it is the one time a year that we go up and see everyone. It would be ridiculous to ask them to travel, and frankly, we don't have the space in our house for them all to come stay here. Nor do I have the generosity of spirit. The problem is that she has always gotten away with it when she behaves badly. Nobody tells her to cut it the fuck out. And so if you think your behavior is fine, why change?
Fromage - Nobody but me actually suggested NOT seeing them. They're simply commenting on my MIL's admittedly bad behavior.
HK - Thank you, my friend. I do want to have a decent relationship with them, because it is important to Nick.
And you are so cute! Hugs to you!
Tia - You know, the thing is I don't even love pumpkin pie. I do, however, really like turkey. Next year, we are bringing turkey. Not in an antagonistic way. She can cook whatever she wants. But I want turkey.
Jocelyn - I bet those were fun. As I said above, I'd be delighted to be all by myself. I know people get horrified at the idea of anyone alone for Thanksgiving...but I'd be great with it.
stacy - Thanks. :)
Keenie Beanie - Yes. Families can be more toxic than anyone. And you're just supposed to suck it up and take it in the spirit of family togetherness for the holidays. It really did wind up being fine. It's still stressful though, even when things are calm and fine.
I'm apathetic about thanksgiving. Truth be told, if I hate something atleast I know I feel some sort of an emotion towards it, however violent. But thanksgiving.ReplyDelete
I. Simply. Don't. Care.
Not that I'm not thankful for things at different times, but yeah....
I love that you brought 3 pumpkin pies!ReplyDelete
If you want to find out why she's being a bitch ask her what Thanksgiving was like when she was a child. EVERYBODY has baggage. Some people have steamer trunks.
I'm right there with you with the holiday stress. My brother is the one that we have to wonder about every year. When will he go off? How bad will it be? Ugh. (Mental illness sucks)ReplyDelete
I'm proud to say that this year we all had a great time at Thanksgiving and my brother didn't ruin it!!! (I'm 40 and this is a FIRST). I guess both my mom and my brother's wife thanked him afterward. True to form, he was totally confused at why he was being thanked. My mom, god bless her, said "Well, honey, we're thanking you because you usually make us fucking miserable on holidays!"
And I am SO PROUD of you for bringing 3 pumpkin pies!
That gentleman's lady - I think that's fine. The only one I get excited about is Christmas, but even that one, I'd never had a tree till last year and I don't decorate.ReplyDelete
lacochran - She's British, so no Thanksgiving, but yes, I am certain this behavior goes back to childhood. It always does with all of us.
And there was only one pumpkin. One pecan and one apple. Three pumpkin pies makes me laugh. That would've been harsh.
cla517 - Yes, mental illness is terrible, and everyone else winds up working around that person. I'm sorry about that.
And I LOVE that your mom said that! She graciously thanked him, and then when asked, explained why! Awesome!
I'm so sorry the holidays stink for you. Perhaps, years from now, after you've created rituals with Jordan and #2, they'll take on an entirely different feel.ReplyDelete
I love the holidays and christmas etc but thats probably because I dont have any family to contend with. Dynamo guys family are all really nice so it's easy to spend time with them.ReplyDelete
I love Thanksgiving, but I had the good fortune to be born into a totally, happy, nauseatingly loving family that I love spending time with. It's a bummer you don't enjoy it, but maybe you guys could start your own Thanksgiving tradition -- instead of being miserable up in NJ every year, I think you should just blow town and take an annual Thanksgiving trip to some warm beach where your Thanksgiving dinner consists of conch fritters and fruity umbrella drinks. Marriage is about compromise, but it doesn't really seem like Nick has such a great time at his parents' house either, so who is benefitting from this compromise? Seems like a lose/lose.ReplyDelete

I've been told by several financial aid people (when asking about what scholarships are specific to the campus, since there are a few) that loans would be a 'quicker, better option.' Despite knowing that it's my intention to graduate debt-free, they continued to dodge my questions on programs that help with financial aid, and about how quickly the process would be resolved. Luckily, after doing my research, I discovered the "Wolf Pack Advantage" program, which covers a substantial amount of costs if you're enrolled in at least 15 credits (usually, that means five classes). The financial aid has come in and luckily I haven't taken out any loans, but remember to do research on the programs available to those in your position.
I already have interested accruing on my loans and I have only completed two years. Absolutely insane.
I got nothing at all and I am a deans list student
I think they do a good job of providing each student with the financial aid they need, however this year they did not offer me enough.
The student workers don't know what they are doing.

Mitigating Factors to the Loss of Self-Esteem
Although research paints a rather bleak picture of the adolescent years for young women, it should be noted that there seem to be mitigating factors to this loss of self-esteem. In research done by Michael Resnick, Director of Research at the University of Minnesota Adolescent Health Program, four factors have been identified as key for an adolescent to weather attacks on self-esteem (Flansburg 1991, p. 4). While they apply to all adolescents, they have particular implications for young women when taken with other information known about the female developmental process. Therefore, it becomes the responsibility of the juvenile justice system to build these issues into its established treatment programs for young women.
The first key factor is a connection to at least one adult in a nonexploitive relationship (Flansburg 1991, p. 4). It has been said that relationships are the glue that hold young women's lives together. As Jean Baker Miller explains,
"We all begin life deeply attached to the people around us. Men, or boys, are encourages to move out of this
The implication of Baker Miller's statement is that the importance young women place on their relationships often means that service providers have to redefine their basic models of treatment. While it is in the context of a relationship with an adult treatment provider that many young women begin their process of healing and make necessary behavioral changes, the juvenile justice system has historically down-played the role of the adult treatment provider while encouraging the use of peer-based methodologies (Maniglia 1996, p. 98; Maniglia and Albrecht 1995). This critical role for the adult significantly alters the role that staff will play in juvenile justice programs, because in order to build professional, yet personal, relationships with young women, staff need to be open to ongoing dialogue (Maniglia and Albrecht 1995).
A young woman's need for positive relationships also affects her very sense of justice. Typically, young women will place their relationships with others above abstract rules or regulations under which they may find themselves (Gilligan 1982, p. 73). For instance, a young woman on probation will often violate a rule about curfew because she is "needed" or even wanted by a friend, a parent, her child, or a boyfriend. In her mind, she is simply weighing the overall value of a relationship versus an abstract rule placed on her by someone else. When her probation officer responds with questions and concerns about "breaking the rules" and "suffering the consequences," what he or she may not realize is that it is rule and regulation language they are using. This type of dialogue can mean very little to a young woman who feels she has made the correct choice by valuing and, therefore, being loyal to the relationship. It is only when the probation officer or another key treatment provider has a relationship with the young woman and speaks in a language that reflects this relationship -- "I know it isn't easy to see that curfew is important, but I have confidence in your ability to make good choices. I am depending on you and have told others I believe you can do this" -- that the choice the girl is faced with becomes more difficult as she is forced to balance one relationship against another (Maniglia 1996, p. 98; Maniglia and Albrecht 1995).
Finally, the role relationships play in the lives of young women means that service providers must reevaluate what is meant by achieving self-sufficiency and independence. Because of the role relationships play in their lives, young women often see achievement and independence as being synonymous with isolation. Many young women know firsthand that accomplishment in school and in a program often mean jealousy from one's peer or cultural group, and this envy can result in separation and isolation. Furthermore, especially in juvenile justice, the goal of program accomplishment is appropriate social behavior and a healthy dose of self-sufficiency.
The second mitigating factor identified by Resnick is achieving a certain measure of school success (Flansburg 1991, p. 4). For young women this means confronting the environment of gender bias that still exists in many public schools today. It also means being willing to modify traditional juvenile justice school programs to reflect the specific needs of young women. Young women need to see themselves reflected in the materials they study, and in classroom discussions. They need to be encouraged to pursue nontraditional subject matters such as, math, science, and engineering, and need to be allowed to do so in an atmosphere of respect (AAUW 1992; Sadker and Sadker 1994). Classroom teachers and others need to make sure that classroom techniques and teaching methodologies reflect what is known about the relational, in-context learning styles of young women (Belenky et al. 1986). Finally, attention needs to be paid to creating an atmosphere free of sexual bantering and harassment where clear policies exist and enforcement is consistent (AAUW 1993).
Resnick identifies having a personal form of spiritual connectedness as the third mitigating factor (Flansburg 1991, p. 4). Young women need to be involved spiritually, either through contact with organized religion or through other activities that encourage them to develop spiritually. Specifically, for young women placed away from their families and those in long-term secure placements, practitioners need to discover ways to encourage this spiritual connectedness through formal and informal programming. For example, formal programming would allow young women opportunities to participate in worship services of their choice while informal programming would provide alternative forms of spirituality such as gardening, keeping a journal, or meditating (Maniglia and Albrecht 1995).
Finally, the fourth mitigating factor identified by Resnick is living in a family environment where there are low levels of family stress (Flansburg 1991, p. 4). Although this is not usually possible for the young women who come to the attention of the juvenile justice system, it does stress the importance of programming that works with the entire family and not just the individual offender.
In order to incorporate the four mitigating factors mentioned above into juvenile justice treatment programming, it is critical that practitioners educate themselves on the special implications these issues have for young women. Strategies to consider are the following:

The Secret War In Italy : Special Forces, Partisans and Covert Operations 1943-45
The war in Italy was characterised by a host of special forces actions. The fact that the Italians had formed two governments, one backing the Allies and one a puppet German government, meant that the secret war was vital to the Allies conventional forces and partisans, the SAS, SOE, the US OSS (precursor to the CIA) all played important roles.
On the night of 20/21 April 1945 the last operational jump of World War 2 took place - Operation Herring. The airborne action was undertaken by No 1 Italian SAS, trained by British SOE (Special Operations Executive) forces who were dropped by the USAAF, in support of the 8th Army attack into the Po Valley. Operation Herring lasted over 72 hours instead of the 36 initially foreseen, but it turned out to be a success. With some help on the part of the local partisan groups, according to some sources 481 German soldiers were killed, 1,083 surrendered, 44 vehicles were destroyed and many captured including some tanks, armored cars and guns, 77 telephone lines severed, three bridges taken intact, and an ammunition storage site blown up. The price the Italians paid for the success was 31 dead (including a British paratroops sergeant) and 10-12 wounded. An Italian lieutenant and a private were posthumously awarded the Gold Medal for Valor.
The action did presage the end of the Italian campaign and the war in Italy, but until now little has been written about this, and other secret operations, on the Italian front. It will be an essential reference for students of World War 2.

Acute diseases of the mouth are more common in infants and children than in adults. Most prevalent in the neonatal period, thrush is seldom seen after the teeth begin to erupt. During the second year another oral disease, characterized primarily by intense inflammation of the gums, oral fetor, fever and acute swelling of the regional lymph nodes, begins to appear with rapidly increasing frequency, reaching a peak in the third year, when it becomes the commonest of the acute diseases of the mouth which occur at any age. The purpose of this paper is to report the results of a clinical and microscopic study of 69 cases of this disease, which is variously known as Vincent's stomatitis, Vincent's angina, ulcerative or ulceromembranous stomatitis, necrotic stomatitis, fusospirochetal stomatitis, aphthous or aphthoulcerative stomatitis, trench mouth, etc. There are in all over thirty synonyms.1
