Aggregation can be a problem even for established protein products, according to Tudor Arvinte, Ph.D., chairman and CEO of Therapeomic. "Proteins aggregate, degrade, bind to cell walls, and generate fibrils," he states. Because of their dynamic properties, the conventional analytical methods are not well suited to understand how a protein behaves when internalized.
Aggregation of protein therapeutic molecules can trigger a toxicity effect, compromising the effectiveness of the drug. Dr. Arvinte and his colleagues have monitored performance using dyes that specifically stain aggregates or other types of protein-degradation products. One method uses Nile Red, making aggregates visible for qualitative and quantitative analysis, allowing a fast screen of different solutions for their aggregation potential.
Protein aggregate analysis is demanding, requiring the use of various technologies including asymmetrical field flow fractionation, fluorescence spectroscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Some procedures are especially informative under particular conditions, so the investigator may need to pick and choose in order to develop an accurate picture of the changes that the molecules undergo.
Dr. Arvinte discussed the formulation problems associated with Herceptin, which is supplied as a lyophilized powder. Dr. Arvinte says that the formulation described in the patient information leaflet is unduly complex and employs a novel chemical entity, apparently required for the stabilization of the Herceptin antibody. His team's experience indicated that extremely subtle handling issues, down to the speed of injection, can create aggregates.
Following a warning on the label to refrain from the use of a dextrose diluent, Dr. Arvinte and his coworkers determined that dextrose-containing diluents caused the formation of aggregates and made the preparation clinically unacceptable.
Therapeomics has developed a set of guidelines that eliminate components that trigger aggregation and other sub-optimal formulation options. Because of the diversity of antibody molecules, a wide variety of individualized formulation options must be designed that take into account antibody flexibility and stability, and no two diluents solutions will be exactly the same.
Dr. Arvinte argues that companies that ignore a thorough investigation of formulation needs during product development do so at their peril. "Whereas the biology of most protein-based therapeutics may be well understood, the biophysical changes that they may undergo can constitute a profound unknown of critical significance to the success of the final product," he concluded.

Ecologies: Relations of Culture, Matter, and Power
University of Utah, Salt Lake City
May 29-31, 2014
The Cultural Studies Association (CSA) invites proposals from its current and future members for participation in its twelfth annual meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Everyone cares about the environment these days, but what does it mean to speak of ecology? Network and systems theories suggest complex approaches to questions of culture and ecology. Assemblage theories explode stable conceptions of locality, sociality, and the human. We speak of programming environments, learning environments, media
ecologies, organizational ecologies, digital ecologies, ecologies of resistance, ecologies of play, flows of information, nodal points of power, and open-source ecologies of collaboration and collective action.
We mobilize ecological discourse as a means of understanding and challenging the material formations of power that discipline raced, gendered, sexed, and classed bodies. These discourses and processes create an ecology of meaning that informs how we talk about and understand our environments.
The theme of the 2014 Cultural Studies Association meeting, "Ecologies: Relations of Culture, Matter, and Power," prompts inquiries into how environmental factors and ecological discourses shape conceptions of culture, matter, and power, and how these factors and discourses are shaped by forces of history and globalization. The theme also invites us to re-imagine the gathering as an ecology in its own right: an assemblage of cultural critics and producers. This year's conference aims to provide spaces for the cross-pollination of art, activism, pedagogy, design, and research by bringing together participants from a variety of positions inside and outside the university. While formal
academic papers will be accepted, we encourage contributors to experiment with alternative formats that challenge traditional disciplinary formations or exclusionary conceptions of the academic.
Proposals from all areas and on all topics of relevance to cultural studies are welcome, but preference will be given to proposals that critically and creatively engage this year's theme. Proposal topics might include, but should not be limited to:
- The hybridization of ecology discourses: environmental activism, media ecology, organizational ecologies, social ecology, systems theories, spatial surveillance, etc.;
- The cultural ecology of textual production, consumption, and interpretation;
- Ecological perspectives on privatization, imperialism, racial hierarchies, global capitalism, etc.;
- Queer, indigenous, activist, anti-capitalist, transgender,
postcolonial and/or materialist perspectives on ecology;
- Post-humanist, object-oriented, or actor-network ontologies, epistemologies, methodologies, and case studies;
- Interpretive possibilities raised by ecology and the challenge of cultural materialism;
- The "greening" of specific disciplines, fields and institutions, its implications, and its continued silences;
- Pedagogical reflections, institutional ecologies, and ecologies of learning;
- "Natural" disasters, privatization, waste, environmental inequality, and the displacement of industrialism;
- Ecological foundations or justifications for new forms of
surveillance, management, and control;
- Collectives, nodes, networks, flows, vectors, circuits, and other models that de-center the autonomous individual;
- Proliferation of synergistic and ecological discourses as reactionary requirements of late capitalism;
- Sustainability and discourses of the future;
- Digital environments and built spaces;
- Invisible ecologies of information, discourse, and power;
- Bodily interactions with environmental elements (food, water, air, flows of energy);
- Food justice and the politics of ingestion;
- New modes of scholarship and activism that attempt to address questions of ecology;
- Analysis that reflects upon the context of its case study or studies; and
- Any other topic relevant to the theme.
All sessions run for 90 minutes and will have access to basic
audiovisual equipment (projector, speakers, and internet connection). Sessions that require additional space or technical equipment may request reasonable accommodations from the organizing committee, but accommodations are contingent upon the availability of resources and
equipment. Special requests should be included as a note in the body of the initial submission. Additionally, please note that all session organizers must be CSA members for the 2014 calendar year at the time of submission.
As at past CSA conferences, we welcome proposals from a range of disciplinary and topical positions, including literature, history, sociology, geography, politics, anthropology, communication(s), popular culture, cultural theory, queer studies, critical race studies, feminist
studies, post-colonial studies, legal studies, science studies, media and film studies, material cultural studies, platform studies, visual art and performance studies. We particularly encourage submissions from individuals working beyond the boundaries of the university: artists,
activists, independent scholars, professionals, community organizers, or K-12 and community college educators.
This year's conference is hosted by the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. Located on a beautiful 1,534 acre campus two miles east of downtown Salt Lake City, the University of Utah has been nationally recognized for its sustainability efforts, which include the installation of solar ivy panels and a commitment to renewable energy. The University currently houses the J. Willard Marriott Library, the Jon
M. Huntsman Center, the Utah Museum of Natural History, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts and Red Butte Garden and Arboretum, and was one of the original four ARPANET nodes. Recently named by The Advocate as the gayest city in America, Salt Lake City is home to the Sundance Film Festival, Utah Symphony and Opera, The Leonardo, Capitol Theatre, Temple
Square, Clark Planetarium, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, Olympic Cauldron Park, and a vibrant local art and music scene.
Submission Deadline and Process
All proposals should be submitted through the CSA online system, available at CulturalStudiesAssociation.org. Submission of proposals is limited to current CSA members. See the benefits of membership and become a member at CulturalStudiesAssociation.org.
The submission system will be open in November, 2013. Please prepare all the materials required to propose your session according to the given directions before you begin electronic submission.
Notification of acceptance will be given in February of 2014.
Conference Formats
We are open to formats not suggested below. If you have questions or suggestions for alternative formats, please be in touch with Robert Gehl (Rob AT RobertWGehl DOT org).
Pre-constituted panels allow a team of 3-4 individuals to present their research, work, and/or experiences, leaving 30-45 minutes of the session for questions and discussion. Panels should include 3-4 participants. Proposals for pre-constituted panels should include: the title of the
panel; the name, title, affiliation, and contact information of the panel organizer; the names, titles, affiliations, and email addresses of all panelists, and a chair and/or discussant; a description of the panel's topic (<500 words); and abstracts for each presentation (<150 words). Pre-constituted panels are preferred to individual paper
Successful papers will reach several constituencies of the organization and will connect analysis to social, political, economic, or ethical questions. Proposals for papers should include: the title of the paper; the name, title, affiliation, and email address of the author; and an
abstract of the 15-20 minute paper (<500 words). Pre-constituted panels are recommended over individual paper submissions, though we welcome both.
Roundtables allow a group of participants to convene with the goal of generating discussion around a shared concern. In contrast to panels, roundtables typically involve shorter position or dialogue statements (5-10 minutes) in response to questions distributed in advance by the organizer. The majority of roundtable sessions should be devoted to
discussion. Roundtables are limited to no more than five participants, including the organizer. We encourage roundtables involving participants from different institutions, centers, and organizations. Proposals for
roundtables should include: the title of the roundtable; the name, title, affiliation, and contact information of the roundtable organizer; the names, titles, affiliations, and email addresses of the proposed roundtable participants; and a description of the position statements, questions, or debates that will be under discussion (<500 words).
Praxis sessions allow a facilitator or facilitating team to set an agenda, pose opening questions, and/or organize hands-on participant activities, collaborations, or skill-shares. Successful praxis sessions will be organized around a specific objective, productively engage a
cultural studies audience, and orient itself towards participants with minimal knowledge of the subject matter. Sessions organized around the development of ongoing creative, artistic, and activist projects are highly encouraged. The facilitator or team is responsible for framing the session, gathering responses and results from participants, helping everyone digest them, and (where applicable) suggesting possible fora for extending the discussion. Proposals for praxis sessions should
include: the title of the session; the name, title, affiliation, and contact information of the (lead) facilitator and of any co-facilitators; a brief statement explaining the session's connection to the conference theme and describing the activities to be undertaken
(<500 words). Please direct any questions about praxis sessions to the Praxis Coordinator, Josen Diaz (JGDiaz AT ucsd DOT edu).
Seminars are small-group (maximum 15 individuals) discussion sessions for which participants prepare in advance of the conference. In previous years, preparation has involved shared readings, pre-circulated ''position papers'' by seminar leaders and/or participants, and other forms of pre-conference collaboration. We particularly invite proposals for seminars designed to advance emerging lines of inquiry and research/teaching initiatives within cultural studies broadly construed. We also invite seminars designed to generate future collaborations among conference attendees, particularly through the formation of working
groups. Once a limited number of seminar topics and leaders are chosen, the seminars will be announced through the CSA's various public email lists. Participants will contact the seminar leader(s) directly who will then inform the Program Committee who will participate in the seminar.
Seminars will be marked in the conference programs as either closed to non-participants or open to all conference attendees.
A limited number of seminars will be selected by the program committee, with a call for participants in the chosen seminars announced on the CSA webpage and listserv no later than 21 February 2014. Interested parties will apply directly to the seminar leader(s) for admission to the
session by 11 April 2014. Seminar leader(s) will be responsible for providing the program committee with a confirmed list of participants
(names, affiliations, and email addresses required) for inclusion in the conference program no later than 17 April 2014.
Proposals for seminars should include: the title of the seminar; the name, title, affiliation, and contact information of the seminar leader(s); and a description of the issues and questions that will be raised in discussion and an overview of the work to be completed by
participants in advance of the seminar (<500 words). Individuals interested in participating in (rather than leading) a seminar should consult the list of seminars and the instructions for signing up for them, available at the conference website after 21 February 2014. Please direct questions about seminars to Seminars AT CulturalStudiesAssociation DOT org.
Please note: To run at the conference, seminars accepted for inclusion by the program committee must garner a minimum of 8 participants, including the seminar leader(s).
All working groups have two sessions at their command. Working groups may elect to post calls on the CSA site for papers and internal submission procedures or handle the creation of their two working group sessions by other means. Working groups will facilitate the creation of two sessions drawing from, but not limited to, working group members.
Working groups should create their proposals according to the
specifications listed under their session format. When submitting to the conference website, working groups should select "Working Group" as their session format and include a note in the body of their submission designating the session as an official submission of the working group.
We are always in need of people to serve as panel chairs. To volunteer to do so please submit your name, title, affiliation, and email address, as well as a brief list of your research interests through the conference website.
Key Dates
Open for Submissions: November 2013 - 19 January 2014
Notification of Acceptance: February 2014
Early Conference Registration: 1 February 2014-18 April 2014

Workshop Builds UN Country Team Capacity in Asia and the Pacific
29 July 2011: The UN Development Group (UNDG) Task Team on Environmental Sustainability, Climate Change and Rio+20, in collaboration with several partners, held an Asia-Pacific regional workshop to advance work on integrating and mainstreaming climate change adaptation, environmental sustainability and disaster risk reduction (DRR). The workshop was organized in recognition of the fact that integrating and mainstreaming these three areas can have profound linkages to poverty reduction and improved livelihoods.
The workshop, which was held from 25-29 July 2011, in Bangkok, Thailand, brought together participants from UN Country Teams who are embarking on the UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) roll-out process, and aimed at enabling them to identify opportunities and tools for mainstreaming environmental sustainability, climate change and DRR in country programming. The main objective of the workshop was to create an avenue for participants to share their experiences and identify good practices.
It included a series of "country clinics" that enabled participants to brainstorm to come up with concrete solutions for mainstreaming challenges for the UNDAF. Solutions identified include the early recognition of opportunities to offer evidence and build ownership for mainstreaming, and to identify 'champions' in both the UN Country Teams and amongst the 'power' ministries and commissions in government. Country participants also prepared work plans to engage the full UN Country Teams and guide their mainstreaming efforts.
The Asia-Pacific regional workshop was the last in the series of three regional workshops, which also covered the Africa and Arab, and the Latin America and the Caribbean regions. The workshops were organized by the UNDG Task Team in cooperation with Capacity for Disaster Reduction Initiative (CADRI), the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the UN Development Programme (UNDP), the UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN/ISDR), the UN Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and the UN System Staff College (UNSSC). The UNDG Task Team is now exploring ways to hold the regional workshops on an annual basis for UNDAF roll-out countries. [UN CC:Learn Press Release]

The production, "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," was presented at the CYO Center at the Mission of the Immaculate Virgin at Mount Loretto, Pleasant Plains, the venue that graciously donated their space.
Valerie goes on to explain that in total more than 2,000 toys were distributed and some 1,000 plush animals donated to children in need — in more than 200 families. What's more, Santa and Mrs. Claus were on hand to make it all the more realistic.
The children received popcorn, cotton candy and balloon animals, had their faces painted and were even presented with goodie bags.
Members of the Rise Dance Studio troupe performed four dance and three vocal routines, as well as musical theater numbers from their Annual Christmas Show.
As a point of interest, when the event drew to a close, all remaining gifts were collected by the National Guard and delivered directly to shelters, hospitals and churches throughout Staten Island, The Rockaways and Long Beach.
All involved are to be commended for their dedication and commitment and for countless hours of their time to help bring Christmas to children who lost their homes to Sandy. And inasmuch as the Christmas season 2012 is just a memory, the charitable program remains a positive message to promote giving back in the new season of resolutions.
In addition to Rise Dance Studios, supporters included: Catholic Charities, CYO at Mount Loretto, Eclipse Entertainment, FDNY E243 / L168, NYPD Retired Narcotics Division, Macy's Merchandising Group, Target, Amazon, Danny Boys, Capitol One, Passport Brands, Miami Jewish Health Systems, Bricks 4 Kidz, and the New York City Department of Education.
Heading the birthday list today is George Malliotakis, who turns 76 and just happens to be the dad of Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-East Shore/Brooklyn.)
George shares his birthday with Dolores Bray, Charles DeBiase Jr., Debbie Clinton, Scott Hansen, Bruce Bannick, Robert J. Roberts and twins Jeanna and Nicholas Como.
Belated birthday greetings go to Robert Hills, who celebrated his special day on Monday.

It's been more than a year since I've puked. Sucks every single time. I like what Bill Cosby said about it. "You wouldn't be surprised to see your SHOES come out of your mouth."
Really does feel that way.
I've made my kids cry when I puke. I sound like someone being transformed into a werewolf when I do. If my nails aren't trimmed, I'll leave marks in the flooring.

I haven't puked, other than binge-drinking related, in 44 years. Sometimes I wanted to, but couldn't. Very strange.
I puked about 6 months ago after an unfortunate run-in with a vodka bottle.... Boy my tolerance isn't what it used to be since going primal.
I'm right there with ya. haf a nasty bout with a stomach bug and got to see all sorts of new colors and textures come out of my mouth. Wasn't pleasant.

i hate sympathy puking
Okay, so I've spent most of the day in bed dreading the possibility of another voluminous expectoration. Didn't happen. Sweet relief!
Mind you, the gut-wrenching that's woken me up from my sleep isn't very cordial; it's as if someone has gripped my stomach in their fist and squeezed. Kind of like the WWII assassination technique the Japanese introduced enemy soldiers to. Quite painful.
Thank you for all the laughs, guys. I've quite enjoyed them, even though it hurts to laugh.
Bloodorchid: Yes, I can't stand that, either. Thankfully, nobody here is inclined to that. I've been able to avoid six possibilities of sympathy puking, and dodge the technicolour rainstorm that could've happened. Ick!
It happened to me at a hotel room in downtown San Diego about 15 years ago. It was the room I checked into after the company Christmas party. Now, I don't want to mention any names here. But the amount of money they charged me for that room you think they could keep it from spinning like that.
I haven't had Tequila in 15 years either. I am not saying these two are related . . .

Visiting our scholars at home in Ethiopia is quite different from home visits elsewhere, since at each home there are 8-10 kids of all ages, all competing for our attention. But I think we managed pretty well! Of course, bringing glow sticks helped a lot here, too (as it did in Uganda!)
They even got a little creative with theirs — performing dances to Michael Jackson when the power went out (unfortunately, no photos to prove it), and coming up with creative places to keep them:
They also taught us a lot of games, including Injera Wot, a matching card game that every single kid I've met knows and loves to play. In exchange, we taught them slap jack — sorry, Moms.
Our hair was also a point of amusement with a lot of the students, especially the girls. In Hosanna house, we had our hair pulled into '60s-style ponytails, and then we each had a set of braids wrapping halfway around our heads before we were quite sure what was happening.
We also got to see what helps the households to run so smoothly, with so many kids. Each has his or her own set of responsibilities, including helping in the kitchen and cleaning around the house.
It's kind of unbelievable that harmony can exist in a setting with so many people, but they make it work and then some.

SCOTTSBORO, Alabama - Scottsboro High School was temporarily on lock down today as a precautionary measure as police and Jackson County officials searched for a man who fled authorities.
The man, Darrell Parker, age unavilable, was arrested before 4 p.m. today after he was found hiding in the trunk of a car, according to Jackson County Sheriff Chuck Phillips. Parker was in the process of being booked on a probation violation at 4 p.m. and no further information was available.
Phillips said a deputy saw Parker eating in a restaurant with his wife and child but Parker, who was wanted on outstanding warrants, ran out the back before he was arrested. The restaurant was in the vicinity of The Home Depot and Wal-Mart, which are near the school so the school was locked down as a precaution, he said.
Parker apparently attempted to come back to pick up his family and deputies began to chase him. Scottsboro Police officers joined the chase.

The Kid Kobe didn't want to wait for is off to a decent start for the Lakers. In the three games since opening night Bynum is averaging 12.3 points and 10.0 rebounds per game, and he's pulled down 12 rebounds in two of the Lakers last three games.
Kareen Abdul-Jabbar, who is basically Bynum's personal coach, was quoted in the Los Angeles Times in full support of the kid.
"He just turned 20 years old!" Abdul-Jabbar said. "To be 20 years old and to be in this position is really great. His level of play and his effectiveness can keep going on an upward grade. I think he has every chance of doing well. In a lot of ways, he's still a teenager, so you've got to give him an opportunity to get through that, but he's greatly improved. It's all good stuff."
Abdul-Jabbar also noted that Bynum still makes some "glaring" errors in positioning on the court, but said they would be "easily" corrected. It might have helped if Bynum had the chance to play three years for John Wooden bfore joining the Lakers.
J.R. Smith, Nuggets and St. Benedict's.
Not surprisingly, he's off to a slow start, shooting 4-for-14 in his first two game after a team-imposed three-game suspension. He's played 23 minutes off the bench in both games. It's going to take a little time.
We sat down with J.R. before the game against the Knicks and talked about his troubles, and you wish he sounded a lot more contrite about what's happened to him. He did answer every question and didn't run from the interview, and in every answer he does acknowledge his mistakes. But then he adds something to the end of the answers - like, "I've made mistakes, but everybody makes mistakes" -- in a way that makes you wonder if he believes it's not all his fault.
But there was one very encouraging answer about his on-the-court situation, which is dicey under coach George Karl. He' still very self-confident about his ability, but he also recognizes that the Nuggets could easily move on without him.
"I don't think this team necessarily needs me," he admitted. "But I know they want me here. I want to be here. As far as needing, we've got all the talent in the world, with or without me. It's not about me. It's about the team in general. We have all this talent. We probably have the best team on paper, but if we can't put it together, then it doesn't matter."
Smith also acknowledged that there are times he wishes he went to college instead of straight into the NBA out of high school.
"I think about it all the time," he said, "but at the same time I think I made a good decision. It takes a toll on me, thinking wise, especially with all the stuff I've been through since I've been in the league. I told my mother in Detroit how I wish I went to school, and she told me she thought I made the right decision. Today I think I made a great decision, so it goes back and forth."

Alexander the Greatby Philip Freeman
In the first authoritative biography of Alexander the Great written for a general audience in a generation, classicist and historian Philip Freeman tells the remarkable life of the great conqueror. The celebrated Macedonian king has been one of the most enduring figures in history. He was a general of such skill and renown that for two thousand years other great leaders studied his strategy and tactics, from Hannibal to Napoleon, with countless more in between. He flashed across the sky of history like a comet, glowing brightly and burning out quickly: crowned at age nineteen, dead by thirty-two. He established the greatest empire of the ancient world; Greek coins and statues are found as far east as Afghanistan. Our interest in him has never faded. Alexander was born into the royal family of Macedonia, the kingdom that would soon rule over Greece. Tutored as a boy by Aristotle, Alexander had an inquisitive mind that would serve him well when he faced formidable obstacles during his military campaigns. Shortly after taking command of the army, he launched an invasion of the Persian empire, and continued his conquests as far south as the deserts of Egypt and as far east as the mountains of present-day Pakistan and the plains of India. Alexander spent nearly all his adult life away from his homeland, and he and his men helped spread the Greek language throughout western Asia, where it would become the lingua franca of the ancient world. Within a short time after Alexander's death in Baghdad, his empire began to fracture. Best known among his successors are the Ptolemies of Egypt, whose empire lasted until Cleopatra. In his lively and authoritative biography of Alexander, classical scholar and historian Philip Freeman describes Alexander's astonishing achievements and provides insight into the mercurial character of the great conqueror. Alexander could be petty and magnanimous, cruel and merciful, impulsive and farsighted. Above all, he was ferociously, intensely competitive and could not tolerate losing--which he rarely did. As Freeman explains, without Alexander, the influence of Greece on the ancient world would surely not have been as great as it was, even if his motivation was not to spread Greek culture for beneficial purposes but instead to unify his empire. Only a handful of people have influenced history as Alexander did, which is why he continues to fascinate us.

How to Grow Old: Ancient Wisdom for the Second Half of Lifeby Marcus Tullius Cicero Philip Freeman
Worried that old age will inevitably mean losing your libido, your health, and possibly your marbles too? Well, Cicero has some good news for you. In How to Grow Old, the great Roman orator and statesman eloquently describes how you can make the second half of life the best part of all--and why you might discover that reading and gardening are actually far more pleasurable than sex ever was.

 Filled with timeless wisdom and practical guidance, Cicero's brief, charming classic--written in 44 BC and originally titled On Old Age--has delighted and inspired readers, from Saint Augustine to Thomas Jefferson, for more than two thousand years. Presented here in a lively new translation with an informative new introduction and the original Latin on facing pages, the book directly addresses the greatest fears of growing older and persuasively argues why these worries are greatly exaggerated--or altogether mistaken.
 Montaigne said Cicero's book "gives one an appetite for growing old." The American founding father John Adams read it repeatedly in his later years. And today its lessons are more relevant than ever in a world obsessed with the futile pursuit of youth.
How to Run a Country: An Ancient Guide for Modern Leadersby Philip Freeman Quintus Tullius Cicero
Marcus Cicero, Rome's greatest statesman and orator, was elected to the Roman Republic's highest office at a time when his beloved country was threatened by power-hungry politicians, dire economic troubles, foreign turmoil, and political parties that refused to work together. Sound familiar? Cicero's letters, speeches, and other writings are filled with timeless wisdom and practical insight about how to solve these and other problems of leadership and politics. How to Run a Country collects the best of these writings to provide an entertaining, common sense guide for modern leaders and citizens. This brief book, a sequel to How to Win an Election, gathers Cicero's most perceptive thoughts on topics such as leadership, corruption, the balance of power, taxes, war, immigration, and the importance of compromise. These writings have influenced great leaders--including America's Founding Fathers--for two thousand years, and they are just as instructive today as when they were first written. Organized by topic and featuring lively new translations, the book also includes an introduction, headnotes, a glossary, suggestions for further reading, and an appendix containing the original Latin texts. The result is an enlightening introduction to some of the most enduring political wisdom of all time.
How to Win an Electionby Philip Freeman Quintus Tullius Cicero
How to Win an Election is an ancient Roman guide for campaigning that is as up-to-date as tomorrow's headlines. In 64 BC when idealist Marcus Cicero, Rome's greatest orator, ran for consul (the highest office in the Republic), his practical brother Quintus decided he needed some no-nonsense advice on running a successful campaign. What follows in his short letter are timeless bits of political wisdom, from the importance of promising everything to everybody and reminding voters about the sexual scandals of your opponents to being a chameleon, putting on a good show for the masses, and constantly surrounding yourself with rabid supporters. Presented here in a lively and colorful new translation, with the Latin text on facing pages, this unashamedly pragmatic primer on the humble art of personal politicking is dead-on (Cicero won)--and as relevant today as when it was written.A little-known classic in the spirit of Machiavelli's Prince, How to Win an Election is required reading for politicians and everyone who enjoys watching them try to manipulate their way into office.
Ireland and the Classical Worldby Philip Freeman
On the boundary of what the ancient Greeks and Romans considered the habitable world, Ireland was a land of myth and mystery in classical times.

 Classical authors frequently portrayed its people as savages--even as cannibals and devotees of incest--and evinced occasional uncertainty as to the island's shape, size, and actual location. Unlike neighboring Britain, Ireland never knew Roman occupation, yet literary and archaeological evidence prove that Iuverna was more than simply terra incognita in classical antiquity.
 In this book, Philip Freeman explores the relations between ancient Ireland and the classical world through a comprehensive survey of all Greek and Latin literary sources that mention Ireland. He analyzes passages (given in both the original language and English) from over thirty authors, including Julius Caesar, Strabo, Tacitus, Ptolemy, and St. Jerome. To amplify the literary sources, he also briefly reviews the archaeological and linguistic evidence for contact between Ireland and the Mediterranean world.
 Freeman's analysis of all these sources reveals that Ireland was known to the Greeks and Romans for hundreds of years and that Mediterranean goods and even travelers found their way to Ireland, while the Irish at least occasionally visited, traded, and raided in Roman lands. Everyone interested in ancient Irish history or Classics, whether scholar or enthusiast, will learn much from this pioneering book.
Julius Caesarby Philip Freeman
More than two thousand years after his death, Julius Caesar remains one of the great figures of history. He shaped Rome for generations, and his name became a synonym for "emperor" -- not only in Rome but as far away as Germany and Russia. He is best known as the general who defeated the Gauls and doubled the size of Rome's territories. But, as Philip Freeman describes in this fascinating new biography, Caesar was also a brilliant orator, an accomplished writer, a skilled politician, and much more. Julius Caesar was a complex man, both hero and villain. He possessed great courage, ambition, honor, and vanity. Born into a noble family that had long been in decline, he advanced his career cunningly, beginning as a priest and eventually becoming Rome's leading general. He made alliances with his rivals and then discarded them when it suited him. He was a spokesman for the ordinary people of Rome, who rallied around him time and again, but he profited enormously from his conquests and lived opulently. Eventually he was murdered in one of the most famous assassinations in history. Caesar's contemporaries included some of Rome's most famous figures, from the generals Marius, Sulla, and Pompey to the orator and legislator Cicero as well as the young politicians Mark Antony and Octavius (later Caesar Augustus). Caesar's legendary romance with the Egyptian queen Cleopatra still fascinates us today. In this splendid biography, Freeman presents Caesar in all his dimensions and contradictions. With remarkable clarity and brevity, Freeman shows how Caesar dominated a newly powerful Rome and shaped its destiny. This book will captivate readers discovering Caesar and ancient Rome for the first time as well as those who have a deep interest in the classical world.

Oh My Godsby Philip Freeman
The Greek and Roman myths have never died out; in fact they are as relevant today as ever. For thousands of years these myths have inspired plays, operas, paintings, movies, and television programs. They are fascinating tales that tell us about ourselves--about our hopes, fears, and desires, which are as ancient as mankind. Many of these myths are deeply disturbing; others are sublimely beautiful. All of them move us still, as they did the Greeks and Romans hundreds of generations ago. Oh My Gods is a retelling of some of the most popular myths by a gifted scholar and writer. These tales of errant gods, fantastic creatures, and human heroes are brought to life in fresh and contemporary versions. Have there ever been stories to rival the myths about the creation of the universe and the wars among the earliest gods? Or about the Olympian gods themselves: powerful Zeus, king of the gods, possessed of a wandering eye; his wife, Hera, queen of marriage and childbirth, perpetually outraged by her husband's many affairs; Poseidon, god of the sea, brother of Zeus; their other brother, Hades, god of the underworld; and all the other gods and goddesses--talented Apollo, beautiful Aphrodite, fierce Athena, swift Hermes, and many more. And the dauntless heroes Theseus and Hercules, the doomed lovers Hero and Leander or Orpheus and Eurydice, whose stories can still break our hearts. From the astonishing tales of the Argonauts to the immortal narrative of the Battle of Troy, these ancient myths have inspired writers from Shakespeare to J. K. Rowling. Philip Freeman's vibrant, contemporary retelling makes us appreciate again why these wonderful tales have lasted thousands of years and charmed young and old readers alike.

The Philosopher and the Druids: A Journey Among the Ancient Celtsby Philip Freeman
Early in the first century B. C. a Greek philosopher named Posidonius began an ambitious and dangerous journey into the little-known lands of the Celts. A man of great intellectual curiosity and considerable daring, Posidonius traveled from his home on the island of Rhodes to Rome, the capital of the expanding empire that had begun to dominate the Mediterranean. From there Posidonius planned to investigate for himself the mysterious Celts, reputed to be cannibals and savages. His journey would be one of the great adventures of the ancient world. Posidonius journeyed deep into the heart of the Celtic lands in Gaul. There he discovered that the Celts were not barbarians but a sophisticated people who studied the stars, composed beautiful poetry, and venerated a priestly caste known as the Druids. Celtic warriors painted their bodies, wore pants, and decapitated their foes. Posidonius was amazed at the Celtic women, who enjoyed greater freedoms than the women of Rome, and was astonished to discover that women could even become Druids. Posidonius returned home and wrote a book about his travels among the Celts, which became one of the most popular books of ancient times. His work influenced Julius Caesar, who would eventually conquer the people of Gaul and bring the Celts into the Roman Empire, ending forever their ancient way of life. Thanks to Posidonius, who could not have known that he was recording a way of life soon to disappear, we have an objective, eyewitness account of the lives and customs of the ancient Celts.
Sacrifice: A Celtic Adventureby Philip Freeman
In a time when Celtic druids roamed ancient Ireland, young Sister Deirdre rushes to hunt down the brutal serial killer targeting her beloved monastery. Someone is killing the nuns of Ireland. The grisly discovery of an elderly sister of Saint Brigid's monastery strangled, bled dry, and thrown into a bog is just the beginning. Soon a beautiful young nun is found decapitated and hung from a barren tree. It doesn't take long before the members of the struggling monastic community of Kildare realize that not only are the nuns being hunted by a serial killer, but the murderer is preforming the gruesome slayings in the manner of the ancient druid sacrifices. Set in the turmoil of sixth-century Ireland, where ruthless tribal kings wage constant war for survival and the powerful religious order of the druids is threatened by the newly-arrived Christian church, the desperate task of finding the killer falls to Sister Deirdre, a young women torn between the world of the monastery and her own druidic heritage. Unless Deirdre can find the killer before the cycle of sacrifices is complete, more of her friends will die, the monastery will face destruction, and the whole of Ireland may be plunged into civil war.
Saint Brigid's Bones: A Celtic Adventureby Philip Freeman
In an evocative Celtic novel set in a time when druids roamed the land, lively young sister Deirdre embarks on a mission to find the stolen bones of her convent's patron saint In ancient Ireland, an island ruled by kings and druids, the nuns of Saint Brigid are fighting to keep their monastery alive. When the bones of Brigid go missing from their church, the theft threatens to destroy all they have worked for. No one knows the danger they face better than Sister Deirdre, a young nun torn between two worlds. Trained as a bard and raised by a druid grandmother, she must draw upon all of her skills, both as a bard and as a nun, to find the bones before the convent begins to lose faith.
St. Patrick of Irelandby Philip Freeman
Ireland's patron saint has long been shrouded in legend: he drove the snakes out of Ireland; he triumphed over Druids and their supernatural powers; he used a shamrock to explain the Christian mystery of the Trinity. But his true story is more fascinating than the myths. We have no surviving image of Patrick, but we do have two remarkable letters that he wrote about himself and his beliefs -- letters that tell us more about the heart and soul of this man than we know about almost any of his contemporaries. In St. Patrick of Ireland Philip Freeman brings the historic Patrick and his world vividly to life. Born in Britain late in the fourth century to an aristocratic family, Patrick was raised as a Roman citizen and a nominal Christian, destined for the privileged life of the nobility. But just before his sixteenth birthday, he was kidnapped by Irish pirates and abducted to Ireland, where he spent six lonely years as a slave, tending sheep. Trapped in a foreign land, despondent, and at the mercy of his master, Patrick's ordeal turned him from an atheist to a true believer. After a vision in which God told him he would go home, Patrick escaped captivity and, following a perilous journey, returned to his astonished parents. Even more astonishing was his announcement that he intended to go back to Ireland and devote the rest of his life to ministering to the people who had once enslaved him. One of Patrick's two surviving letters is a declaration written to jealous British bishops in defense of his activities in Ireland; the other is a stinging condemnation of a ruthless warlord who attacked and killed some of Patrick's Irish followers. Both are powerful statements remarkable for their passion and candor. Freeman includes them in full in new translations of his own. Combining Patrick's own heartfelt account of his life as he revealed it himself with the turbulent history of the British Isles in the last years of the Roman Empire, St. Patrick of Ireland brilliantly brings to life the real Patrick, shorn of legend, and shows how he helped to change Irish history and culture.
War, Women, and Druids: Eyewitness Reports and Early Accounts of the Ancient Celtsby Philip Freeman
"The ancient Celts capture the modern imagination as do few other people of classical times. Naked barbarians charging the Roman legions, Druids performing sacrifices of unspeakable horror, women fighting beside their men and even leading armies-these, along with stunning works of art, are the images most of us call to mind when we think of the Celts," observes Philip Freeman. "And for the most part, these images are firmly based in the descriptions handed down to us by the Greek and Roman writers. " This book draws on the firsthand observations and early accounts of classical writers to piece together a detailed portrait of the ancient Celtic peoples of Europe and the British Isles. Philip Freeman groups the selections (ranging from short statements to longer treatises) by themes-war, feasting, poetry, religion, women, and the Western Isles. He also presents inscriptions written by the ancient Celts themselves. This wealth of material, introduced and translated by Freeman to be especially accessible to students and general readers, makes this book essential reading for everyone fascinated by the ancient Celts.

I do not know the answer, but I have a very similar trouble, perhaps due
to the very same same problem at some level: With FC1 I had no trouble
using the same type of command (the server was an OS/2 lanserver at the
other end of an IPSEC tunnel), and everything was working just fine.
I have upgraded to FC3 and now this does not work anymore. The strange
thing is that the command "smbclient //there/goodies -U dude" works
just fine on the same machine, so I know the server is alive and the
tunnel is not plugged. It's got to be something goofy with FC3, but
after 2 months I still don't know what it could be.
any clue would be appreciated. Thanks.

James Murdoch to Leave Glaxo Board
LONDON—As he grapples with the fallout from News Corp.'s phone-hacking scandal, Deputy Chief Operating Officer James Murdoch is resigning from the board of GlaxoSmithKline GSK -1.76 % PLC, the drug maker said Friday.
Mr. Murdoch "has decided not to stand for re-election to the board at GSK's [annual general meeting] in 2012," Glaxo said in a statement. "James has taken this decision to focus on his current duties as nonexecutive chairman of BSkyB, and following his decision to relocate to the United States" for his News Corp. job, the statement said. Satellite-TV operator British Sky Broadcasting Group PLC is partly owned by News Corp.
Mr. Murdoch's 2009 appointment to the board of one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies was seen as a prestigious move for the News Corp. scion and a way for the 39-year-old to broaden his management experience.
A Glaxo spokesman stressed that the decision to resign was Mr. Murdoch's and that the company didn't ask him to leave. On the phone-hacking matter, "our position hasn't changed," the spokesman said. Glaxo believes "the full facts" need to be established "and investigations allowed to take place and come to conclusion," he said.
Mr. Murdoch has faced scrutiny from lawmakers in the U.K. over his handling of the phone-hacking scandal, which has led to the closure of the News of the World tabloid and three ongoing criminal investigations into the paper's news-gathering tactics. News Corp. has apologized for the behavior of the tabloid, where journalists routinely intercepted voicemails of those in the public eye in a relentless search for scoops.
A News Corp. spokeswoman declined to comment beyond the Glaxo statement. News Corp. owns The Wall Street Journal.
In November, Mr. Murdoch left the boards of operating companies overseeing News Corp.'s U.K. newspapers the Sun, the Times and the Sunday Times. A spokesman for News International called this move a tidying-up operation related to Mr. Murdoch's move to New York and to the appointment of Tom Mockridge as chief executive of News International.
Mr. Mockridge is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the British newspapers; he reports to Mr. Murdoch, who has continued to oversee the U.K. newspaper unit as chairman. Mr. Mockridge joined the boards Mr. Murdoch left.
At Glaxo, Mr. Murdoch has served on the board's corporate-responsibility and remuneration committees, the Glaxo spokesman said.
Meanwhile, News Corp. said Friday that Matthew Anderson, one of Mr. Murdoch's chief aides, will step down from his position at the company at the end of March. Mr. Anderson, who was News Corp.'s group director of strategy and corporate affairs in Europe and Asia, plans to leave London for San Francisco to "pursue new opportunities," the company said, though he will remain a senior adviser to the company.

Des Moines police officials still aren't saying how an 18-year-old woman died but said obvious and visible injuries led detectives to call the case a homicide.
Authorities responded to the 600 block of Boyd Street just before 9:30 p.m. after a family member of VanLo called 911 to report she wasn't breathing.
Judy VanLo was pronounced dead at the scene. Detectives are still working to determine when she died.
Detectives continue to investigate the case and interview friends and family, authorities said, but have not yet pointed to a suspect.
They are not releasing the nature of the injuries at this point to preserve the integrity of their investigation.
Des Moines Police Sgt. Chris Scott said he was not aware of a trip history to the home where VanLo lived with other family members. Neither VanLo nor the homeowners have been convicted of a crime in Iowa, according to online court records.
This is Des Moines' fourth homicide of 2012.

Kirk Nelson of Kihei has received a berth in next week's U.S. Senior Open, claiming a spot from his position as an alternate qualifier after Allen Doyle withdrew Wednesday.
"I thought my buddies were pranking me, but then I got an email from the USGA, and I saw it was real," said the 53-year-old Nelson, a professional at Elleair Maui Golf Club.
Nelson was a first alternate after losing on the second hole of a playoff with Kevin Hayashi of the Big Island during a qualifier at Honolulu Country Club on June 18.

"After the qualifier, I thought, 'Well, I tied for medalist, and at least the medalist, tying gets a silver medal, and that was pretty cool," Nelson said. "This is just a great bonus, so unexpected."
The tournament is scheduled for July 11-14 at Omaha Country Club in Nebraska.
"I'm already trying to get into that (competition) mode," Nelson said. "I guarantee that I'm going to try not to be a tourist. I'm going to be hitting balls next to guys I've been watching on TV. I have to greet them with aloha, and not say, 'Oh, can I have your autograph?' "
Nelson teamed with Justin Newsome to finish fourth in last month's Kaanapali Pro-Pro Championship, an Aloha PGA event. Nelson was also the senior flight champion at the Maui Open in August, and the medalist in a local qualifier for the U.S. Open a year ago.
The USGA said on its website that Doyle, who won the Senior Open in 2005 and 2006, withdrew because of a medical condition.

Expecting more than 3,000 people at this year's Thanksgiving feast in Newhall, the couple who started the holiday tradition have aligned with the South Valley Church as a way of dealing with the hundreds of donations they expect to receive.
Last week Roger and Shannon Hasper met with Pastor Kevin Pisano at the Newhall church on Valley Street to iron out how they're going to handle the anticipated flood of donations.
About 3,000 people showed up for last year's "feast" on Main Street between Market Street and William S. Hart Park. The outpouring of generosity from the community has drawn a bigger crowd every year; the more people have shown up to partake, the more they've contributed to the event.
At the center of it all has been the Haspers, who started it all by opening up the doors of their home to the public eight years ago, and who have watched the event grow exponentially every year since.
But since they closed the doors of their Newhall bicycle repair business thispast year, there's no actual location for people to drop off their donations.
"We no longer have a brick-and-mortar physical place where people can drop off food or clothing," Roger Hasper said Wednesday. "The South Valley Church is now that brick and mortar."
Anyone wishing to donate to the annual street party is asked to drop off donations of non-perishable food, clothing, toys and other items at the South Valley Church at 24551 Valley Street in Newhall, south of Lyons Avenue.
"We have the space here, so we're willing to have people drop off clothing and food," said Marc Botello, the church's outreach coordinator. "We will be the drop-off point."
As the Haspers learned last year, preparing donated kids' clothes is right up there with preparing the turkey and preparing the stuffing when prepping for the Thanksgiving feast itself, scheduled for Nov. 28.
"Helping out and lending a hand is what it's all about," said Pastor Kevin Pisano. "We are just thankful the Lord is blessing us and the church."
On the day of the "feast," volunteers plan to transfer all the donated items to the street party site, he said.
The Haspers said they want to make sure that anyone who wants to donate can do so and, at the same time, make sure there's enough food on the day of the "feast."

Nashville, Tenn. - The Stetson women's soccer team's hopes for qualifying for a ninth consecutive Atlantic Sun Conference tournament were dealt a serious blow with Friday's 1-0 loss at Belmont. The Hatters dropped to 3-11-2 overall and 2-5-1 in the A-Sun with one match to play while the Bruins improved to 7-7-1 (4-3-1 A-Sun) and clinched their own place in the postseason.
Senior goalkeeper Grace Turner (Fort Myers, Fla.), who made four saves, and the Stetson defense did their best to keep the Hatters in it all night. The match was scoreless at halftime, but Dani Stolt eventually put home her third goal of the season 2:43 into the second period for what would prove to be the only score of the match. Rachel Schmidt had the assist on Stolt's goal; Nicole Berner made five saves to preserve the shutout for Belmont.
Even worse than the loss for Stetson was the news that Kennesaw State had held on for a 1-1 draw with ETSU 284 miles to the east in Johnson City; as a result, the Hatters now only have one way into the A-Sun tournament with just Sunday's match at Lipscomb left on the schedule. Stetson must beat the Lady Bisons and hope for ETSU to defeat Mercer and for USC Upstate to tie or beat Kennesaw State.
Furthermore, Stetson must make up a -3 goal differential with Mercer (e.g. Stetson wins by 2, Mercer loses by 1; Stetson wins by 1, Mercer loses by 2; etc.) Those results would allow the Hatters to win the tiebreaker for the #6 seed with Mercer at 13 points in the league. Any other scenario would leave Stetson on the sidelines for the postseason for the first time since 2002.
Stetson visits Lipscomb at 2:00 pm ET (1:00 pm local CT) Sunday; the match is slated for broadcast on ASun.TV with a link to Live Stats available at GoHatters.com.
