In his fifth decade as Playboy's longest-running cartoonist, Gahan Wilson's unique idiom of cartooning has a loose and kinetic hatch line, with characters existing in an absurdist world of UFOs, ghouls, monsters, and – most often seen – werewolves.
"What Karloff and [director] James Whale did with Frankenstein (which was very clever), was that they were trying to sympathize with people who are a big flop socially. The Frankenstein Monster has a terrible problem dealing with society. He can't understand what he's doing wrong and asks [impersonates Karloff] 'Why? Why?' It's really good. Whale was very aware of its comical aspects. Fantastic humor is a marvelous way of approaching society."
"Circus freaks were also a big influence," he admits. "My father used to take me to the circus, and though I loved circuses, what I really wanted to see was the sideshow. I dug the sideshow. My father hated it but he would go along with it because I'd argue 'Dad! Dad' and drag him to it. I loved those people, because they were so brave. They took something awful, such as being crippled or horrible looking, and turned it into an advantage. They made it into a show and something to be proud of. They won the crowd over! I found it mighty encouraging that you could be like that, getting a lousy deal out of life, and miraculously turning it into something happy and positive."
Gahan Wilson's childhood in 1930s Evanston, Illinois was filtered through his cartoonist's eye in 'Nuts, the full-page comic for National Lampoon in the 1970s.
"National Lampoon was out to make fun of anything they disapproved of," Gahan remembers. "It was great fun, and I enjoyed it enormously. I did satirical spreads, mostly, and I also did something I'm very proud of, which is coming out in a book, which is my strip 'Nuts.
"They decided to call the comics pages in a Sunday strip format, and asked me to do something. I was toying around with ideas, and I fooled with classical formats. Some were promising, but somehow I flashed back to being a little kid. I remembered being a little kid and trying to make sense of society and why parents and the whole world tell you what to do. That's what it was about."
With 'Nuts, Gahan sympathized with the child by only showing the world at his level. Parents were always heard "off screen" and never seen, while thought balloons revealed the kid's real feelings about life.
"I tried to make it accurate," he reveals. "Parents, meaning well, try to help them fit into society, insist that the kids act in such and such a way. The parents mean well, but it's very hard for the kids to make sense out of anything."
While 'Nuts is mostly devoid of the crazy supernatural horror movie elements of his Playboy work, it's a pretty dark strip. In one of the early installments, the kid is stuck in bed, sick, and imagines himself dying and then rotting in his coffin. Another strip has him coming home with a bad report card, taking the slow way home while trying to find a way out.
"Maybe they'll both be dead!" he hopes about his parents. "Maybe Pop got killed in an auto accident and Mom's been electrocuted by the iron! I sure hope that's what happened! Oh, please, God – Let that be what happened!"
The kid's escape? His father comes home drunk and he's spared punishment. One of the following strips has him dreaming of zapping his parents with a death ray. Wilson then balances 'Nuts by throwing in a strip with the kid going to his favorite malt shop, feeling the comfort of the soda jerk remembering his favorite malt.
"I was just looking at what kids knew, and how they had to put up with all this stuff," Gahan sympathizes. "It sets out what do you do now? It's interesting to watch a little child as they get older and more clever. When you watch a baby getting carried around, the kid will try emotional gambits with the parents and start sobbing, and then you'll see them check the mother and see 'Is this working?' The thing that so many grown ups get wrong about kids is that they're people, and very conscious, very aware. It was great fun drawing it and I'm delighted a complete version of it is going to come out."
"They're all reporting," Gahan says of both 'Nuts and comics in general. "Most of them are actually ridiculous, because that's what cartoonists do: they point out the ridiculous. We do it affectionately."
Gahan made his way to Chicago for college, with the intent dream of becoming a cartoonist.
"I had gone to commercial art school in Chicago, during a summer when I was a high school student, and they really weren't teaching me what I was after," he says. "They didn't go into technique or anything like that, so I went to the Art Institute of Chicago and took a four-year fine arts course and, every so often, in their alumni things I would pop up there. It turned out I was the first caricaturist who took this fine arts course with the goal of being a cartoonist. They went along with it, and it was a very good period. One of the things that they had was to have different points of view, where most schools say there's only one way to do things, the Institute threw at you a bunch of different teachers, with a wide divergence of conflicting theories. They made you work, work, work very hard on different techniques that you might never use. You ground lithograph into stones, made etchings, and drew, drew, drew, and painted, painted, painted. It's what I was after."
With a strong foundation of the fine arts holding him up, Gahan did his damnedest to break into the magazine cartoon market. He made his way, like most aspiring cartoonists, to New York City.
"I moved to Greenwich Village, because that's where you moved to," he casually says. "It was a fascinating period. I had just finished college, which my parents had generously paid for.
"So, when I moved to the Village, the people that I knew mostly were artists. The thing about the Village was that you could live there for almost nothing. They had these dinky little apartments that you could get, and they were run-down places. They cost hardly anything at all, but they were great for artists.
"My favorite story from the whole Village experience: one of my painter friends was Japanese and very, very talented. We were planning to go out one evening and drink and do terrible things. In the apartment next door to his, we heard more and more of an audible argument between a man and woman. It accelerated and got very loud, and then there was this huge crash against the wall. I can still feel it. Then all was silent, and then the silence persisted. My friend looked thoughtfully at the wall, shook his head, and said 'It must be terrible, living like this, if you are ordinary people!'
"I thought he nailed the whole Bohemian thing. That was it. That's the line that divides. It didn't matter to artists, because they just wanted shelter and a placed to store their paintings. I persisted, and started selling cartoons, and that was it. I got started."
"I remember in the early days, when I was trying to break in, that there was the Saturday Evening Post. It was a family magazine, and they had some good cartoonists in it, but most of them were pretty awful," Wilson laughs.
"Once I visited my parents in Evanston, Illinois, and they had this stack of Posts. I asked if they'd mind if I went through them and tore them apart, and they said 'No.' I just went through them and analyzed their comics. It was very depressing: the humor was based off of the idea that everyone was dissatisfied and unhappy with things, and the jokes were all based off of that. You found that husbands and wives worked together only if the family is being a pain.
"I did a bunch of cartoons and sent them in. Up until then, I'd just been selling to oddball little magazines in New York. I was flabbergasted, because they didn't pay as much for it in that little market. In a few weeks, I noticed I was not happy and becoming more like a Saturday Evening Post cartoon character. I didn't sign my name on it, but put down 'G.W.', because I had no pride in them."
"He's one of the best editors I've ever worked with," Gahan beams. "I like him very much, and he's an extraordinary person. One thing about him is that he really enjoys life, he really does."
To maintain the eerie quality of Gahan's black and white work, Hefner had the cartoonist first start out with muted colors on the strips. Wilson's thin pen line popped with more dimension between the dull coloring and heavy stippling and hatchwork. A woman sweeps part of her own shadow away; a doctor who is determined to find out his patient's werewolf infatuation does not notice the man wolfed out behind him; a torturer makes shadow puppets on the dungeon wall; and Humpty Dumpty precariously sits next to a construction worker on a crossbeam overlooking the city.
Like every great single-panel cartoonist, Gahan let the action be pieced together from the results present in the illustration, or lets it be predicted by the reader. His balance of the horrible and otherworldly with the everyday brings out the absurdity in his world…and in real life.
"What my addled brain comes up with – all cartoonists have this sort of world we live in—that the audience should be able to follow, as well."
When Gahan Wilson sent in samples to Hugh Hefner's editorial office, he had no idea that it would be the start of a "swell association" that would last for over fifty. Gahan's evolution as a cartoonist is well documented in October's Fantagraphics collection, Gahan Wilson: Fifty Years of Playboy Cartoons, reprinting all of his cartoons and essays for the men's magazine. Hefner's open views of sexuality in America are on par with his views towards comics. Playboy isn't just good for the articles—the comics have consistently pushed boundaries, as well.
"One of the aspects of Playboy that made it totally different from other magazines that showed women in very little clothing, was that in all the other editors made it very obvious that they really didn't like women," Gahan elaborates. "They had these poor ladies, who were very pretty, but looked sad. They tried to make them as slutty as they could. Hef went out to sink all that, if he could. His pretty little girls are very sexy indeed, but they are also nice. You could take them home to Mama. They were all treated with respect.
"He's changed the country enormously; he formed the Playboy Foundation which, among other things, provides services for people in trouble, but not because they've committed any sort of crime or hurt anyone. The Foundation takes the complaints, get very expensive lawyers who look it over, and use their skills to help these people out.
"I think, historically, he's very important. He's done a lot of things through lawyers to help out people because their books might be deemed obscene. I think he's starting to get some credit for what he's accomplished."
Gahan Wilson continues his cartooning for Playboy, as well as a few other projects. Recently, a short film was animated from It was a Dark and Silly Night, a short story about a boy's bad horn playing that actually does wake the dead, with author Neil Gaiman. Also in the works is a documentary on Gahan by director Steven-Charles Jaffe; titled Born Dead, Still Weird, it has had limited screenings so far.
"It's gotten a very nice response from people who have seen it," Gahan notes. "I'm not sure when it's going to land, but it's good, and they did a swell job and I'm very pleased."

Yuengling's Ice Cream about to hit grocery shelves
ORWIGSBURG -- An ice cream brand with a famous name in Pennsylvania is coming back to grocery store shelves in about a month.
The Intelligencer Journal/Lancaster New Era reported Thursday that Yuengling's Ice Cream will be on sale in six states after a 28-year hiatus.
It's being produced in Tamaqua with an initial run of 100,000 quarts in 10 flavors. The newspaper said interest in the product led the company to start production earlier than previously planned.
The ice cream company, based in Orwigsburg, isn't affiliated with the well-known Pottsville brewery that carries the same name, but it's owned by a branch of the same family.
The flavors include espresso chocolate chip, black and tan (chocolate and caramel ice cream), vanilla fudge chunk with pretzels and root beer float.

Earlier this week, Brittney Frankel '12 got a surprising call from her professor and research mentor, Dr. H. Gilbert Welch: His study about the efficacy of mammography screenings, which Frankel co-authored, was about to be featured in The New York Times.
"It was really weird and unexpected but also really exciting," Frankel said. "It's really nice to get recognition for something I worked really hard on and think is important."
The title of the research? "Likelihood That a Woman With Screen-Detected Breast Cancer Has Had Her 'Life Saved' by That Screening" Pretty self-explanatory.
Published on Oct. 24, the study was immediately picked up by the Times, the Daily Beast, and Newswise, among others.
Using national data on women with breast cancer, Welch and Frankel set out to investigate the truth behind survivor testimonials that tout the idea that early screening saves lives.
"We found that the largest possible chance that a woman's life has been saved is 25 percent, which I think is really surprising and counter-intuitive to what medical culture suggests," Frankel said.
Other probability estimates from the study indicate that mammography may only save lives in less than 10 percent of the cases detected.
According to Frankel, that number is small because there are three possible scenarios for each case of breast cancer: First, that early diagnosis and treatment actually did save the woman's life. Second, that catching the cancer earlier or later would have had no effect on treatment. And third, that the disease would have gone into remission anyway, meaning that the woman was over diagnosed and subject to potentially harmful treatment.
"I think mammography is every woman's individual choice," Frankel said. "This study is by no means saying you shouldn't get a mammogram, but that there are pros and cons to doing so and that you should know both … This is just suggesting that early diagnosis is good in some cases but not all and there are alternative scenarios."
A government major who is interested in public health, Frankel said she first learned about public health and evidence-based care when she read Welch's book "Should I Be Tested for Cancer?" in her writing 5 class freshman year. She got involved in his research in her junior spring after taking his public policy course the previous year.
"This project helped me realize that I loved government but I also wanted to study medicine," Frankel said. "I realized that this was where my interests lay — in the importance of communicating medical information clearly within the medical community and also in order to have regular people understand it."

Whenever you arrive across a game thatfeatures futuristic racing, it appears to create the assumption thatdrivers a hundred years from now will be bloodthirsty speed demonsmore concerned with covering the tarmac on their opponents brainsas compare to crossing the ending line in first place. As you mightcollect from the instead jolly title, Protoxide: Death Race mostdefinitely conforms to this viewpoint.
Characterizing animpressive line-up of anti-gravity racing ships, it watches youdashing about a series of grim industrial tracks whilst hurlingrockets, mortars, and bombs at your fellow competitors. Needless tosay, such unsporting behavior would be frowned upon in Formula One,but it does at least lead to slightly more exciting contests thanwere accustomed to witnessing these days.
Steering your ship is a matter oftilting your iPhone left and right. Acceleration is automatic, whilebraking is managed by an on-screen button. Nitro boosts are evenengaged via a touchscreen command, which can then be replenished bypicking up the canisters that are scattered around thecircuit.
Every weapon has its own characteristics: few arepowerful and will strike hard a rival out with one strike, whilethese are commonly slower and more tough to land successfully. Otherrockets are deployed in batches and have a less dramatic effect, butthey are swifter and commonly simpler to manage.
You have no control above when yourweapons fire. Rather, you must expect for a lock-with target to look.Later a few seconds of solid lock, your ship will free its mortalpayload, but you must certain that your foe's ship stays in yoursights or the lock will fail, and you have to begin all over again.Of course, your foes are not sitting ducks, they will avenge wheneverpotential. A warning sign seems when missiles are incoming, affordingyou plenteous time to activate your defensive shield.
While it just lasts for a shortalthough, it is strong enough to repel the unwanted care of yourfoes. Once applied, it brings a short time to renew, leaving youexposed. Protoxide: Death Race boasts a career mode that offers upobjective-based races on a very loose plot underpinning the action.These events are really rather demanding, forcing the player todestroy a sure number of rival racers and end over a specifiedposition.
While HeroCraft's racer characteristicsabove-average visuals and commonly engaging action, it is peculiarlydevoid of excitement. When playing against the computer, thelimitations of the Artifical intelligence are glaring. Should you lieat the rear of the grid, it is insultingly simple to acquire intofirst place, till when you are sat at the front of the pack, youalways have a rival right with your heels no matter how many introboosts you deploy.
This form of rubber band AI is notnovel to racing titles, but it looks cheap and leads to frustratingraces. Playing against human opponents above a local wi-fi connectiondeletes this specific trouble to a degree, but it does not createProtoxide: Death Races combat-heavy driving any more enthralling.There are better examples of the genre on the App Store, thus unlessyou are a die-hard fan, we would recommend you save your fuel formore worthy candidates.

A Mercedes-Benz for about the same price as a Jeep? Our instinct is to grab the Mercedes for the greater prestige, luxury and quality that it offers, though the 2013 Grand Cherokee deserves consideration in this faceoff for its performance and generous helping of luxury trappings.
The four-wheel-drive Grand Cherokee starts at $44,000 and can top $50,000 when loaded with features such as adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, a rear entertainment system and 5.7-liter V-8. It also is the roomier and more off-road capable SUV, plus it has some Mercedes-Benz genes because it was developed during the DaimlerChrysler era and is related to the Mercedes M-Class. A 2014 Grand Cherokee received a minor styling refresh and new eight-speed automatic transmission, said to increase highway gas mileage by 2 mpg on the V-6 and 1 mpg highway on the V-8; a diesel version is also new for 2014.
The four-wheel-drive GLK has an enticing base price of around $39,000, but that doesn't include leather seats. Adding leather and features such as a navigation system, blind spot monitoring, adaptive headlights and cruise control can boost the price to as high as $54,000.
Where Mercedes trumps Jeep is in quality and reliability. Both the Grand Cherokee and GLK were among SUVs with the fewest problems in their respective classes in the 2012 J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study, which measures things that go wrong in the first 90 days of ownership. As a brand, however, Mercedes had fewer problems than the industry average, and Jeep had more. Jeep ranked 30th out of 32 brands in Power's 2012 Vehicle Dependability Study, which measures problems in the third year of ownership, and Mercedes ranked sixth. Jeep ranked 33rd out of 34 brands in the 2011 VDS, and Mercedes was eighth.
To be fair, those low dependability ratings are from the 2008 and 2009 model years when Chrysler was owned by private-equity firm Cerberus Capital Management, which relentlessly cut costs at the expense of quality to squeeze more profit out of a struggling company. Under the current Fiat ownership, Chrysler's quality appears to be improving, so Jeep may well do better in future surveys.
However, if you're talking about roughly the same amount of money, we would rather spend it on a Mercedes than on a Jeep.

Ted Ts'o Named CTO of Linux Foundation
The foundation behind the free Linux OS has appointed kernel developer and IBM collaborator Theodore Ts'o as its Chief Technology Officer (CTO).
Ts'o will be replacing Markus Rex, who will return to his management position at Novell. Ts'o has been a fellow at the Linux Foundation since 2007, along with Steve Hemminger, Andrew Morton, Andrew Tridgell and Linux founder Linus Torvalds. Attorney Andy Updegrove of the foundation comments on the appointment with "Ted is a great choice for a variety of reasons, one of which is that few people have been knocking around the Linux world longer than Ted - he was the first North American kernel developer (in 1991)." Ts'o is recognized for his many achievements, including leadership of the Kerberos authentication project and developing the userspace utilities for the ext, ex3 and ext4 filesystems (the latter of which he currently maintains). He is also well known in other circles than Linux. In 2006 he was recognized by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) for his accomplishments in free software. He is founder and leader of the kernel developers' annual meetings and gives regular tutorials, such as last month at USENIX LISA in San Diego.
Among the tasks set for Ts'o at the Linux Foundation is supervising and leading technical projects such as the Linux Standard Base and the OpenPrinting workgroup. Ts'o recognizes the amount of work involved and the power of mass collaboration with "I'm looking forward to translating that power into concrete milestones for the LSB specifically, and for Linux overall, in the year ahead." As foundation CTO, he is also the prime technical contact for its members and kernel advisory board.
Ts'o has been at IBM since 2001, where he recently led an international team working on real-time solutions for Linux on an enterprise level. He will be returning to IBM after his two-year fellowship at the Linux Foundation.

The key to winning fantasy football is not drafting the biggest names; it's drafting the names no one yet knows but soon will.
Any numskull can pick Peyton Manning or Adrian Peterson with his first pick in a draft, but it takes a bit more to select rookie running back Zac Stacy in the last round.
Based on ESPN's standard scoring, rookies were major contributors to fantasy football in 2013.
For running back rankings based on total points scored, Eddie Lacy was No. 6, Le'Veon Bell was No. 15, Zac Stacy was No. 17, and Giovanni Bernard was No. 18.
For wide receivers, Keenan Allen was No. 17, Kendall Wright was No. 31, and Cordarrelle Patterson was No. 32.
For tight ends, Timothy Wright was No. 15, Jordan Reed was No. 20, and Zach Ertz was No. 21.
These are the players who make the difference in fantasy football. Every team will have a couple of star players, but the young guys you have filling the rest of your roster can put your team above the rest.
The 2014 NFL draft class has some big-time playmakers and a lot of potential. Unlike 2013, there are a few quarterbacks who could make big fantasy impacts in their first years. There are, however, fewer running backs who will likely be getting big playing time.
Overall, it seems that wide receiver will be the position with the biggest fantasy impact this year.
Now, let's get into who the top 10 rookies will be for fantasy football in 2014.

Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of oncology company Ariad Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARIA ) plummeted 17% today after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said that it's investigating its leukemia drug Iclusig.
So what: The stock plunged a whopping 66% on Wednesday after the FDA halted all new trials of Iclusig due to safety concerns, and today's announcement only raises more uncertainty among investors over the drug going forward. Specifically, the FDA is looking into the increasing number of reports of serious and life-threatening blood clots and severe narrowing of blood vessels in patients, prompting a few analysts to downgrade the stock on the risk of even more bad news ahead.
Now what: The FDA is urging doctors and patients to report side effects involving Iclusig.
"Data from clinical trials and postmarket adverse event reports show that serious adverse events have occurred in patients treated with Iclusig, including heart attacks resulting in death, worsening coronary artery disease, stroke, narrowing of large arteries of the brain, severe narrowing of blood vessels in the extremities, and the need for urgent surgical procedures to restore blood flow," the FDA said in a statement. "The FDA is providing this information to patients and health care professionals while it continues its investigation. We are actively working to further evaluate these adverse events and will notify the public when more information is available."
So while biotech-savvy investors might want to take a deeper look at this issue and Ariad's assets, average Fools would probably do well to maintain their distance.

Causes 1 out of 10 cases of ALS are due to a genetic defect. The cause is unknown in most other cases.In ALS, motor nerve cells (neurons) waste away or die, and can no longer send messages to muscles. This eventually leads to muscle weakening, twitching, and an inability to move the arms, legs, and body. The condition slowly gets worse. When the muscles in the chest area stop working, it becomes hard or impossible to breathe.ALS affects approximately 5 out of every 100,000 people worldwide.Having a family member who has a hereditary form of the disease is a risk factor for ALS. Other risks include military service. Some risk factors are controversial. Symptoms Symptoms usually do not develop until after age 50, but they can start in younger people. Persons with ALS have a loss of muscle strength and coordination that eventually gets worse and makes it impossible for them to do routine tasks such as going up steps, getting out of a chair, or swallowing.Weakness can first affect the arms or legs, or the ability to breathe or swallow. As the disease gets worse, more muscle groups develop problems.ALS does not affect the senses (sight, smell, taste, hearing, touch). Most patients are able to think normally, although a small number develop dementia, causing problems with memory. Symptoms include:Depression Difficulty breathing Difficulty swallowing -- choking easily, drooling, or gagging Head drop due to weakness of the neck muscles Muscle cramps Muscle crampsMuscle cramps are when a muscle gets tight (contracts) without you trying to tighten it, and it does not relax.

What's for "hot lunch" at school is big news in our family every morning.
The little ones want to know if they're having a favorite food during lunchtime at school, or if its something gross.
With a reasonable pricetag for school lunch, I often hope for hot lunch -- not because it's more economical, because it isn't, or because it's more nutritious, because it's probably not, but because I don't have to make cold lunch.
If you're like me, you'd much rather sip coffee and harangue the teen-aged kids about their hair, clothes, cell phones, and personal hygiene habits than pack a sack lunch.
From there, it's a peck on the cheek, a hug, and, with my 7-year-old daughter, a "secret handshake," that is now mandatory before my weekday can begin.
However, I'm quite sure that while I may inquire as to what my children are eating at lunchtime, you probably could care less.
Armed with that knowledge, I was incredulous last week when I saw and read major news organizations report not only what the children of President-elect Barack Obama were wearing to school -- not to mention the color of the backpacks -- but I also saw one television network display a graphic of Sasha and Malia's lunch menus.
The Obama daughters began a new semester in Washington D.C. schools in advance of her father's inauguration next week, and the press pool covered it like it was Middle East peace talks.
It's ridiculous.
As a person who works in the industry, I tried to imagine myself as a pretty high-ranking reporter with a prestitious news organization being asked by an assignment editor to double-check to make sure those were organic peaches on the menu or just regular ones.
Should I do that before or after I talk with the Palestinian ambassador?
There is a preoccupation with anything celebrity in this country, but I think this type of reporting around grade-school aged children is too much.
Michelle Obama has expressed her wish to make the experience as normal as possible, because she knows they're living in the White House fish bowl.
It's got to be uncomfortable sending the kids off to school with armed security, knowing they need the armed security. And parenting is difficult enough without knowing that someone is watching every move, and reporting on their every public utterance.
However, while I've yet to see the Obama children behaving badly, I cannot say the same for some of my media brethren.
What Sasha and Malia may choose for lunch is hardly worth the newsprint or the airtime that could be used for a myriad of other more important topics.

Skip to comments.Romneys Sit Down for Interview With Oprah Winfrey
Posted on 07/15/2012 12:07:32 AM PDT by tsowellfan
Republican Mitt Romney is talking about his presidential campaign with Oprah Winfrey.
The presumptive GOP nominee and his wife, Ann, met with Winfrey on Friday for an interview that will be published in O, The Oprah Magazine. Romney aides late Saturday said the conversation took place as the Romneys were ready to begin a leisurely weekend at their lakefront house in Wolfeboro, N.H.
The aides would not discuss the interview topics or tone before its publication.
Winfrey in 2007 broke her long-standing rule against supporting politicians and came out for Barack Obama. She became one his strongest advocates and helped him win over female voters...
(Excerpt) Read more at newsmax.com ...
Romney never did return Mark Levin's call, did he?
Big mistake. Her empty headed audience would never walk away from Omama. Why can't these guys just go where they're welcome?
Winfrey in 2007, broke wind and her long-standing rule against supporting politicians and out came Barack Obama. He became one his strongest smelling advocates and helped her whine to over whelm female voters.
This seems more like a move to needle Obama with Oprah.
No one needles like Romney.
In fact, he needles some of us so much we will be voting down ticket only.
Grave error!
Next question: What did Obama promise China in return?
Sorry, I posted in the wrong thread
ummm.... flexibility after the election?
dittoes, lol
According to ulsterman, oprah is pissed off at Obama because of valerie jarret. This could be Oprah getting "even" with Obama, not barack, but michelle Obama.
It was a good response though
What audience? Oprah did well when North Shore Liberal housewives supported her but that's gone.
Who in the heck is running Romney's campaign? If soupy Sales was still alive he would have a decent audience.
Who's going to see it? It's on OWN.
"Whos going to see it? Its on OWN."
It's for the magazine.
First of all, when will she decide to publish it, and second, who will decide to buy it? Lets see, in these times and prices rising on food items like crazy, a struggling mom is going to opt for a disgraced narcissists magazine over food for her kids.
Romney was better off with the etch-a-sketch guy running the show. Talk about tone deaf. Obamas bunch of 99ers never take a day off and the Romneys retreat to their lake house for a quiet weekend?
I suppose that is his way of saying we have nothing to fear from an Obama Presidency.
It says a LOT that coward, pussy Mr. ROmneyCARE
AGAIN needed his wife to protect him as a 'wing man'.
Mr. RomneyCARE was CHOSEN to lose — after "winning"
against conservatives by cheating, backstabbing,
and changing the rules.
Mr. RomneyCARE has NO interest in winning, just
making more money by running for Obama and Soros (his
partner and friend in JET BLUE, again).
Ha! I've done that before! Actually, I think I've done it several times.
Meeting with a slow witted member of the black klan. What is the point?
Lots of Bo supporters are screeching the same message. It is called, divide and conquer, split the opposition. Do we really want 4 more years of the leader of the black klan?
I dunno, but I sure did get a good chuckle out of it.
Why even talk with that cow?
She has no audience now..
This is like Obama going for an interview with David Duke.
Is Oprah still on the air? I thought viewers tired of this empty headed bore.
Yet another stupid mistake, after the idiotic demand of an "apology" for the Bain attacks. White ABANDONED Oprah after she endorsed Obama in 2008, and her show was destroyed. Blacks will NEVER vote for Romney. The best he can hope for is a Zimmerman hearing on Election Day to distract them and keep them home. There is NOTHING to be gained by this crap, and only things to lose, as Oprah will no doubt bring up the past racism of the LDS, and why didn't Mittens speak up; the NAACP "provocation", etc. IDIOTS! Go on Mark Levin and Michael Savage's shows instead! BUILD THE BASE!
"In fact, he needles some of us so much we will be voting down ticket only."
And just what do you plan to do for the next four years as our country disappears? Do you actually still think a Republican House and Senate can or will do anything to stop this dictator??? He's already proven (much more than what's coming to the public's attention) that he'll bypass both Congress and the Courts to accomplish all he intends to bring the Republic down as swiftly as possible and hand it to our most dangerous enemies.
Yeah, down ticket only, that'll keep BHO at bay - NOT.
"O" magazine has been around for a long time. Women buy it.
I agree, our candidate is tone deaf, but what do we expect? Neither one of these guys have a clue what life is like for the average American, or the real fear and anger that we feel. He needs someone from the middle class advising him, that's for sure. I have sent emails, but I don't think they read them.
Her magazine does well. Women buy it. Not just black women, women of all races. Being interviewed for it is risky, (a risk that I wouldn't take, considering how liberals cut and paste, and take things out of context) but Oprah has reportedly been feuding with the Obamas, so who knows.
You are absolutely right. While I share the "down ticket" feelings, and have considered doing this myself, I know I must hold my nose and vote for him in order to try to save the country.
Yes, I know - and at the rate he's going, he'll need every vote we can cough up and then some.

Hitting the beach is always a fun, refreshing way to spend the day, but it's even better when you get to venture under the sea for an Ombre Mermaid Party by the amazing Paige of Paiges of Style! What little mermaid wouldn't want to be part of this world with all these yummy treats & buried treasures? And after one look at these pics… I'm pretty sure grown-up mermaids would love to be part of this world too! ;)
PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:
– Mermaid Fin & Ombre Aqua Ruffle Cake Pops
– Home sewn Ombre Ruffle Tablecloth
– Insanely gorgeous Ombre Ruffle Cake from Hey there, Cupcake!
– Vintage teal "Mermaid Bar" cool colored party drinks
– Ombre Mermaid Party Printables (with red hair to match the adorable birthday girl!)
PARTY DETAILS, as told by Paige…
Our little Quinne was born with red hair and I knew right away that a mermaid party would be in the near future for her! We invited all of our friends and family to a nearby beach to celebrate with sun, sand and lots of sugar!
The dessert table was the highlight. I sewed the ruffled ombre tablecloth and set out an amazing display that would delight any mermaid. The ombre mermaid scale cake with edible gold kelp by Hey There, Cupcake was so gorgeous. Mermaid tail cake pops by K'Creative and the the ombre ruffle cake pops by Cake Ball Love were the favorites of all the kids. Mermaid cookies by Hayley Cakes were made to match the invitation exactly and wowed all of the guests, big and small. And last but certainly not least, the ombre aqua and purple macaroni towers by Baked were stunning. Edible sea glass, "kelp" mini cakes and sea salt cupcakes completed the dessert table.
All of the drinks were served at the "mermaid bar" that I bought for $50 and put a little elbow grease into painting teal. The children's lunches were served in beach buckets which served as the party favors to take home. They loved eating their goldfish crackers while watching the real goldfish that were set up on the kids lunch table. Each child also took home some bubbles and a gumball "pearl" necklace as a party favor. Most importantly, all of the kids had a wonderful, fun day at the beach!
I have to add an extra note about using goldfish at a mermaid party. Prior to the party, I emailed our friends and neighbors and asked if anybody would be interested in having a pet goldfish after the party. I only bought as many goldfish as had been requested (plus our 2) to use at the party. I don't believe that it's fair to give out fish as a party favor because some parents may not want the pets and might dispose of them. I can happily report that our goldfish are still happily swimming around 2 months later! :)

Eastman Kodak (NYSE: KODK ) and its largest bankruptcy creditor, the U.K. Kodak Pension Plan (KPP), have agreed to a deal in which KPP will provide Kodak $650 million in cash and non-cash consideration for its Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging businesses, the company announced today.
In addition to the sale of the business unit, the two sides have agreed to void approximately $2.8 billion in outstanding legal claims KPP had brought against Kodak as part of its ongoing bankruptcy proceedings.
The U.K. Pension Regulator has signed off on the arrangement, and Kodak intends to submit paperwork to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on or around April 30 in an effort to gain the court's approval of its deal with KPP. Kodak intends to use part of the proceeds from the sale to fund its efforts to emerge from bankruptcy protection.
Kodak CEO Antonio Perez said, "The KPP transaction moves us past several key hurdles in our reorganization, resolving all potential claims worldwide." Perez added the deal will provide Kodak with, "the remaining liquidity we require to emerge from Chapter 11."
A KPP spokesman was quoted as saying: "The businesses that we are acquiring will deliver long-term cash flows to support the plan's obligations. The financial stability that KPP will provide for the Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging businesses will be beneficial to those businesses' employees, customers and partners."
The KPP is a defined-benefit pension plan which was closed to new members on July 1, 2006. It has assets of about 1 billion pounds and a deficit on a buy out basis of about 1.9 billion pounds.

After four bouts, it looked like a typical Goose Creek-Hanahan wrestling matchup.
It was tied 12-12, with each team recording a pair of pins.
Then the Gators youth showed and Hanahans experienced lineup took over. The Hawks won seven straight matches, including six by pin, en route to a 57-24 victory on Friday night at HHS.
This feels good for our kids, especially after we made some mistakes against Waccamaw, Hanahan coach Ray Adkins said. They were the better team that night. It felt good to rebound, coming off that loss.
The Hawks also defeated Baptist Hill on Friday, improving to 3-1. Goose Creek knocked off the Bobcats too and the Gators improved to 2-1.
Hanahan hosts Wando and Beaufort on Wednesday, Dec. 12, while Goose Creek travels to Berkeley to take on the Stags and Georgetown.
Both teams will compete in the Cane Bay Duals on Saturday at CBHS.
Hanahan began to pull away from Goose Creek beginning with the 145-pound match. Haven Horlback recorded a pin to give the Hawks an 18-12 lead. After Hanahans Brian Joseph won 9-4 in the 152-pound match, Dariell Flores (160), Brett Maddox (170), Dennis Flores (182), Lyndon Young (195) and Jacob Garibay (220) won on pins to make it 51-12 for the Hawks.
Goose Creeks Rico Blanding won by forfeit at heavyweight to snap Hanahans string of wins, followed by teammate Allen Morans pin at 106 pounds.
Hanahans Tyler Tolacko then won by forfeit at 113 pounds to end the match.
In the first four matches, Dylan Wheat and DeMichael Whaley had pins for Goose Creek, while Dalton Coker and J.J. Johnson had pins for Hanahan.
(Goose Creek) Coach Covington does such a great job with those kids, Adkins said. Theyre strong, athletic and knowledgeable guys. Any time Im able to one-up coaching Covington, it feels good.

SOMEWHERE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN – When Samantha Hanson patrols the engine room of the State of Maine, there's a good chance she's the only female around.
Similarly, Heather Swan usually finds herself in a similar scenario, outnumbered when she's on the bridge of the Maine Maritime Academy training vessel.
Neither seems to mind.
"I don't get treated any differently," Hanson said Thursday while transferring oily waste from the engine into a holding tank. "Everyone treats me like just another person trying to learn."
"I'm used to it," Swan said from the chart room off the bridge. "I actually prefer the company of sailors."
Hanson, of Rockland, and Swan, of Washington, D.C., are two of only nine female students aboard the State of Maine this year, one of the lowest numbers in recent memory, according to Commandant Jeff Loustaunau.
"Ideally, we'd like to have 15 to 20, so there's more of a critical mass. That way, they are less likely to stand out," he said.
While the maritime industry historically has been a man's world, the women on this particular ship blend in like camouflage in a jungle.
Margaret Brandon, a deck training officer and the highest-ranking female on board, said that after more than 25 years in the field she doesn't even notice the discrepancy anymore.
"It's always been an industry that's not full of women and I recognize that, but I don't ever think of it that way," she said. "I don't find it difficult. I've had a blast and I've just been sort of following my nose."
In 1976, MMA became the first maritime school to have a woman cadet graduate from its licensing program, so the school has always been a trailblazer in that regard.
But while the school has seen its general enrollment – about 15 percent female – go up significantly over the last 10 years, the integration hasn't necessarily translated to students who are seeking a 3rd mate or 3rd assistant engineer license.
Aside from Swan, who was technically a junior before she joined MMA last year and is in an accelerated program, there are only three female junior cadets.
Vanessa McPhail of Perry is the only junior deck major on board.
"I don't really worry about that," she said Thursday from the cadet navigation lab, where a group of students was preparing the ship's navigational course from its next port, Split, Croatia, to the Strait of Gibraltar. "The thing about being with all these guys is you have to know how to give it back. And I've learned."
"Are you kidding? She's better than all of us," Tyler Eads, a junior from Belfast, interjected from across the room.
The male cadets in her company even gave McPhail a nickname, and although it's not appropriate for print, it's a sign she has earned their trust.
Alex Butler, a deck training officer, said that, all kidding aside, McPhail is one of the hardest workers he has seen.
"You can always tell who the workers are, and she's a worker," he said.
While the women on board said they feel at home, they do notice subtleties from time to time.
"I get treated OK," said Jennifer Maffioli, a freshman deck major from Puerto Rico. "Sometimes they talk behind my back, I think, but I just ignore it."
"Any curiosity or doubt doesn't come from other students. I think they look up to me," Swan said. "But some of the older school officers think a woman should be barefoot in the kitchen. I would say they are accepting, but biased."
Brandon said she has seen a shift in attitudes among old-school types, but that there will always be some reluctance.
"It's interesting. The industry is cutting-edge on one hand but it's very traditional at the same time, and I think that's where women get singled out," she said.
Aside from the living arrangements, women aboard the State of Maine don't get any special treatment.
"The only time we feel isolated is when we're assigned to different living quarters," Hanson said. "Then all the guys will tell us how easy we get it, but that's not our choice."
The segregated living environment allows the women to bond, though, and Hanson said that has been crucial.
"We're all very close, but we really don't have a choice. We've been through everything together," she said. "It takes a certain type of person to make it here. You have to be persistent. You have to be willing to work hard."
Some of the cadets' friends outside MMA may find that attitude hard to understand.
"They think I'm crazy," McPhail said. "But at least I won't be stuck in an office when I graduate."
"All my friends will be laughing when I end up working half the year and making more money than they do," Hanson added.

After nearly ten years of drawing a blank in Serie A, Milan are closer than ever to a Scudetto trophy that is seen as the bread and butter of success for Italian teams. The last time Milan lifted the trophy, HD T.V. did not exist, (not to be confused with Rai International, which still has no clue about the existence of HD in the year 2011) Shevchenko was still alive, and Favalli was only 49 years old.
A 1-0 win over Brescia, made possible by the improbably finish of Robinho, who made good on one of his 4,391 chances throughout the past few weeks, and basically sealed the scudetto as Milan are now +8 over Inter. (+9 actually considering we'd win in a tiebreaker.)
Whenever I write a column I usually tend to focus on one particular player who has stood out in recent weeks. What we've witnessed recently is the emergence of one of the old horsemen. Although it looks as if he's running in Birkenstock sandals when he plays, The Clarence has rolled back the years and given us a taste of the sort of vintage that has seen him manage to lift the Champions League trophy with a staggering three different teams.
The Clarence - despite being immobile, he is absolute class.
A recognizable haze surrounded the San Siro as the most anticipated game in recent times awaited Milan. Years have passed since a derby of this magnitude took place. Only two points separated Milan from the second place Argentinian side. Moratti's yellow toothed grin cackled in delight at the prospect of going +1 with a handful of games remaining in the season.
Inter, spearheaded by the one who shall not be named, was completely undressed by the forces of Allegri. Simply put, Leonardo is not a coach who fires up his players in the most crucial games. We saw it last year when Milan was embarrassed by Inter twice, and by Manchester United in the Champions League.

Editor's note: This article first appeared in The Oregonian on May 27, 1997, after reporter Dana Tims and photographer Robert Kaiser interviewed Lance Armstrong in Medford.
"Lance is the only one I would ever call that,'' said Nathan, wearing a smile even brighter than his yellow race leader's jersey. ``I want to be just like him.''
A lot of other children and teen-agers, not to mention their beaming parents, said the same thing Monday as they lined up for a chance to chat with Lance Armstrong, America's top professional bicycle racer.
Armstrong, smiling behind his sleek Oakley sunglasses, signed autographs, acted as official starter and handed out trophies as the Best of the West Junior Olympic Stage Race ended with a series of high-speed races around downtown Medford.
The 25-year-old Texan, who has become as well known in recent months for his battle against testicular cancer as for his racing exploits, has long supported a Junior Olympic development racing program aimed at nurturing the next generation of American cyclists.
Despite a schedule slowed by medical demands and jammed with business appointments, Armstrong said he never wavered in his commitment to help what has become the nation's largest stage bicycle race for junior riders.
"The one thing this sport lacks in this country is tradition,'' he said. "I felt like I could make a contribution there, maybe give something back to the sport that has given me so much.''
Armstrong has felt the glory of three stage wins in the Tour de France and his stunning 1993 world championship. But on hold, for now, is any consideration of a serious cycling future.
Perhaps, he said, forever.
"My fight against cancer is the number one No. 1 priority in my life right now,'' said Armstrong, who abandoned a promising triathlete's career in 1988 to take up cycling full time. "Everything else pales in comparison.''
The cocky brashness that initially offended some seasoned European pros and sparked Armstrong's famous feud with Italian star Claudio Chiappucci seems to have abated. In its place, he has a more subtle and subdued outlook. has taken hold.
"Financially and personally, I don't need to ride again,'' he said. "I'm very happy with what I've done. To be honest, I never thought I would be as successful as I have been.''
His newfound serenity, however, didn't stop Armstrong from noting that America's other cycling legend, Greg LeMond, has recently taken up auto racing. LeMond's latest passion followed a stint where he raced not on the rode road bikes that made him famous, but on mountain bikes.
"What he ought to do is get his butt out of the car and do more for cycling,'' Armstrong said. ``He needs to remember that the Tour de France is a road event and that the reason he's Greg LeMond is the Tour de France.''
Armstrong, who competed in three of those Tours before dropping out last year because of bronchitis, said he dreams of returning to the grueling event. Only this time, perhaps, as a team owner.rather than competitor.
"One of my biggest goals is putting together an American team,'' he said, referring to Motorola's decision to drop the team it had sponsored for six years. "Not necessarily on the racing end of things, but just to give this country its own pro cycling team.''
Before anyone relegates Armstrong permanently to the sidelines, however, they had better take note that he is training at a moderate level. When he's not hanging out with rock star bands such as the Wallflowers for a week at a time, he 's still harboring has notions of returning to the roads.
Clark Natwick, a regional U.S. Cycling Federation coach, found out the hard way that Armstrong is not ready to concede anything. During an easy training ride outside Medford on Sunday evening, Natwick saw a city-limits sign and challenged Armstrong to a race.
Bad decision. By the time Natwick had found a big enough gear, Armstrong was halfway to the line.
Adults might be amazed at his resilience, but the kids who clustered around Armstrong on Monday were just as happy to see the man whose posters dot their bedrooms and garage training areas.
"I had heard of him from my brothers, but to see him in person was awesome,'' said Kylie Siemens of Port Angeles, Wash., a division winner for 11- and 12-year-old girls. "Meeting him will make me want to come back next year.''
Told of her comment, Armstrong said: "That's great. Nothing could make me happier.''

Dumbness is a profitable commodity these days: Just ask the producers of Forrest Gump or Jim Carrey's agent. Or just ask Paul Rosa, the Colorado stand-up comic who managed to get a publisher for this collection of sophomoric letters to U.S. corporations. In the epistolary equivalent of the Jerky Boys' prank phone calls, Rosa pestered companies with inane questions like, "Is it okay to use your deodorant on my forehead?" and "Do the souls of exterminated rodents go to heaven?"
Amazingly, more than 150 companies wrote back. Most sent corporate-speak brush-offs, but some of Rosa's sillier letters drew ridiculously serious replies. His suggestion to a Maytag executive that the lonely repairman on TV be fired is met with, "It's a good cost-savings idea," while his complaint to the telephone company U.S. West that white pages are racist and should be issued in other skin tones elicits, "We pride ourselves on having a diverse employment body."
Rosa asks Oprah to give him 18 minutes' worth of her salary so he can travel ("Oprah wishes you the best"), suggests major league baseball spice up the game by coating random areas of the field with slippery Pam cooking spray ("Your proposal is interesting"), and tries to get into the Guinness Book of World Records by reporting that he carried around his cat for a year ("Peculiarities are not necessarily records"). Some of this is clever, though not nearly as inspired as the Jerky Boys' outrageous calls. Which is to say, Idiot Letters isn't dumb enough. (Doubleday, $7.95)

I invite scholars to write entries for an encyclopedia I am editing, Colonization and Settlement (1585-1763). It is the second of a 10-volume encyclopedia of American history. Gary Nash is the series editor, and Facts on File is the publisher.
Of the original 500 terms, approximately 100 still need to be defined. At 2.5 cents per word, the pay is unfortunately very modest, for which I apologize. But it is a chance to pollute, er, shape young minds of the future (like my 9-yr-old daughter, Sage). And it also can help build a vita since the author's name will appear at the end of her/his entry as well as in a List of Contributors.
I would prefer to have authors complete their entries by June 1, although a Summer deadline would also be possible if necessary to fit your schedule. I expect to finish project by the end of this year, meaning that the volume should appear in a timely fashion, both in print and on the internet.
If you are interested, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will email you a file with the terms. Also, please attach a file with a brief vita and/or explain a bit about your qualifications in your email.
A brief description of the volume: Colonization and Settlement (1585-1763) defines the most important events, people, and forces in America between the time of the first English efforts at colonization in Roanoke and the conclusion of the Seven Years' War in which Great Britain became the dominant European power in North America. This encyclopedia reflects the major trends in historical interpretation during the past few decades in that it focuses not only on rich and politically powerful Americans but also on poorer whites, immigrants, women, Native Americans, African Americans, and the French and Spanish colonies. Thus, Benjamin Franklin,John Smith, and John Winthrop are included in addition to the Seminole Indians, Olaudah Equiano, Hannah Duston, and Spanish, French, and Russian explorers and settlers. Short histories of each of the original thirteen colonies will be incorporated, and broader terms like poverty, art, gender, race, and science will be defined. The series is designed primarily for
use by college and advanced high school students. It will be made available in libraries as well as on the Internet.
Please let me know if you have any questions (or jokes; humor is always lacking in encyclopedias). I hope you decide to participate in this project.
Happy trails and be to good to your horse.
Your Humble Servant,
Billy G. Smith

It's not automatic, but YES, you should buy a wireless router. You should have bought a router (even just a wired one) before now. Otherwise, you're PC's are not secure (don't trust software firewalls).
Once you get the router configured (make sure to change the router's admin password, change the SSID, Don't broadcast the SSID, enable WPA (and assign a key), then you'll need to go into the Wii's settings and manually enter the router's SSID, set the Wii for WPA and enter the key. At that point the Wii will be able to SECURELY access the router and you'll have Internet. More importantly, no one else will be able to get to the net through your connection, do illegal things and let you take the blame.

US airline closes 4bn dollars deal with Brazil's Embraer for 40 commuter aircraft
United Airlines partner SkyWest Inc. agreed to buy more than 4 billion dollars of Brazil's Embraer jets as new pilot contracts at the largest carriers allow commuter operators to fly bigger planes.
The accord comprises 40 firm orders for 76-seat E175 jets with two-class cabins that will be flown for United for 12 years, St. George, Utah-based SkyWest said in a statement.
The aircraft will be the first 76-seat regional jets in United Express's fleet after parent company United Continental Holdings Inc. joined AMR Corp. American Airlines and Delta Air Lines Inc. in crafting labor agreements allowing the larger jets to be used that way. Regional airlines pay less, which reduces costs for the carriers.
"In this very competitive business of operating regional jet aircraft, we are appreciative to have been given the opportunity and we are committed to providing an outstanding level of service to United" SkyWest President Bradford Rich said in the statement.
The order also marks another win for Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil-based Embraer after United agreed to buy 30 of the E175s in April and American and its regional partner Republic Airways Holdings Inc. agreed on an order of 47 Embraer E175 jets earlier this year.
Big airlines are seeking 76-seat jets as they retire aging single-class 50-seaters that guzzle fuel. The larger aircraft let them lower operating expenses and charge higher fares for business class tickets.
SkyWest also has a conditional purchase agreement for 60 more of the E175 jets pending operating agreements with other airlines, plus options for 100 more, Embraer said in a separate statement. That gives the whole order a value of 8.3 billion at list prices, though airlines typically get a discount.
The firm deliveries for United Express will begin in next year's second quarter and run through mid-2015, SkyWest said.

How did this growing Black consciousness begin to be reflected in the literary magazine for example?
Well, I remember in 1966, I began to edit, in '66, '67 year, I began to edit the literary magazine. And I inherited the magazine called the Promethean, named after the god, the greek god of fire. And the work in it was, it was, some very important work in it. We had also, ah, ah, essays and poems from professors like.
Please start over again.
OK, OK--would you ask the question again.
How did the growing by consciousness movement begin to be reflected in the literary magazine?
I was the editor of the literary magazine in 1966, '67. And I inherited a magazine called The Promethean, named after the greek god of fire. And there were some very good things in the Promethean but there, it was not yet reflective of the racial militancy that was happening. Remember '66 is Black Power, '67 we're talking about separation. Ah, and in '66 there was very important work in it, Sterling Brown for example, his poem Confessions of Nat Turner, Remembering Nat Turner it was called. Arthur Davis had a piece in it. Some other people did. We had a print of Henry O'Tanner in it, which is kind of benign, of course a fine artist. By '67 you saw the changes. By '67 we called it the Afro American Review. And I remember the introduction by the president of the liberal arts student council is Louis Myers, who talked about the liberation struggle. And this is really a stark contrast just to the year before. Ah, talked about the role of writers, now in that struggle. And this was something rather new that we were all beginning to talk about. Certainly in 1967 was a very important year in that that was the year of the famous Fisk Writers Conference that really launches the new Black poetry movement as a movement. At that conference where the people, they call the young Tur--Turks like Nicky Giovani who was then a student a Fisk, Sonya Sanchez had come into that meeting. Haki Madhubuti, then Don Lee, come to the meeting. And there were also older writers like GwenGwendolyn Brooks and Margaret Walker and Dudley Randall. And what had happened was a kind of a passing of the torch in certain ways. Of the younger people demanding that the role of writers be different and that their poetry was different. I remember Gwen(dolyn) Brooks, ah, later on, writing that she felt like a negro being coldly respected at that conference. Ah, Hakai, in fact created the rural press in that same year.
We're not going to be able to do this.
OK, that's too much. All right. All right. Rolling and speed. Mark it.
Where are we starting from?

The sartorius muscles of normal and dystrophic chicken at different ages were compared by histochemical and electron microscopic techniques. In the normal muscle type I and type II fibers with three subtypes of the latter were present at the adult stage. At hatching the two main fiber types could be differentiated; the subtypes, however, did not differentiate until about three weeks. In the sartorius of adult dystrophic chicken, though some fibers appeared atrophic, the striking change was hypertrophy of type II fibers. The reactions of fiber types were normal except for some increase of succinic dehydrogenase staining. The pattern of fiber type differentiation was also unaltered; the earliest change in the dystrophic sartorius appeared to be increased production of muscle fibers.

InfosysEric PaternosterLife Sciences Business Unit head
How has your company adapted and responded to the changing economic climate in the past five years when so many others companies did not?
We have reacted to world economic changes in the last five years in two ways. First, since we are focused primarily in professional services, developing a robust people strategy involves building our capabilities in multiple geographies. Over the last five years we have developed alternative personnel sourcing locations in China, Eastern Europe, and Canada to supplement our historical sourcing base in India. We are hiring a portion of our systems engineers directly from U.S. campuses and will be rolling this initiative to Europe next year.
Second, we have grown our service mix to be able to serve our clients better with a greater number of capabilities. Over half of our growth now comes from service lines we did not have five years ago, such as infrastructure management and BPO. Over three years ago we invested in starting up a business consulting operation based in the U.S. and Europe to add to supplement our core strength in technology.
These changes have been implemented within a streamlined management structure, which has allowed us to react more quickly as macro economic changes occur. Our goal is to continue to supplement our traditional focus on outstanding client service with an increased flexibility to react to changes in the business environment faced by our clients and us.
What is your vision for the future of the life sciences market over the next several years?
New mindsets, technologies and business models will increasingly shape the market. The newer 'biology-based' discovery firms will grow faster than the traditional 'chemistry-based' ones, and as always, organizations that innovate and adapt quickly will be the winners. In order to make drugs safer and get them to market faster, life sciences organizations will need to focus even more on reducing clinical trial durations, and on cross-functional use of critical clinical data. Increasing concerns about patient safety will make pharmacovigilance an imperative rather than a "nice to have." There will be a continued emphasis on cost reduction and product integration due to pricing pressures from both regulators and consumers.
To remain competitive in the face of such challenges, life sciences companies will need to use the vast amounts of information they gather differently. Better collaboration and breaking down of silos will become critical. There will be a blurring of boundaries between life sciences and healthcare companies as we know them today.
Naturally, these trends will force the IT industry servicing the life sciences market to focus more on interoperable platforms that make use of distributed data sets, rather than silo-applications servicing a specific operational area. We think life sciences organizations will increase their use of strategic outsourcing to improve competitiveness, outsourcing not just the development and maintainance of IT applications, but also business processes such as safety management and submissions. We also believe that emerging software delivery models such as SaaS (software as a service) will change the way the life sciences industry uses IT. More and more IT related tasks will be outsourced as an integrated hosted service.
Partnerships are an effective way to track life science advances and ensure that your company delivers timely products and services. Which life sciences companies or organizations have you partnered with or invested in and why?
Alliances and partnerships with industry leaders as well as niche product organizations are an important part of Infosys' overall business strategy and apply just as much to our life sciences practice. Our alliance strategy is usually driven by the correlation of functionality gaps in available product spectrum and industry pain points.
Currently, we partner with the following companies to service our life sciences clients:
What are your most exciting products and initiatives in development, and how will they improve life science research?
Infosys offers a set of targeted solutions that address pain points across the life sciences value chain. Some of these solutions are narrowly focused on small yet critical operational areas such as NPI incorporation, and some are quite broad in scope such as a centralized health exchange to provide one-stop-shopping for EHR/PHR.
We are very excited about our clinical trials solution that has the potential to significantly alter the drug development process. Not only does the solution allows a reduction in discovery timeframe through use of components such as EDC, phased DMR and eSubmission, but it can also act as a global cross-referential repository of compounds and subjects. The solution also improves cross-functional efficiencies across R&D and manufacturing organizations in the LS industry.
The SaaS-based pharmacovigilance solution brings together our domain, technology, and process expertise to significantly ease the burden of continual post-market monitoring and reporting. The solution can enable the drug-safety group of the organization to directly interact with the FDA and can establish trends using not only drug or organization specific data but also de-identified communal data.
Where do you see your company in five years?
Infosys' vision is "to be a globally respected corporation that provides best-of-breed business solutions, leveraging technology, delivered by best-in-class people". We expect to make this vision a reality for our life sciences practice as well, by developing and implementing a repertoire of targeted solutions, and by assisting at least 60 percent of the top pharmaceutical companies in elevating their outsourcing capabilities to a more strategic plane.

Football Selects Honorary Coaches for Spring Game
Ball State head football coach Pete Lembo has announced football alums Blaine Bishop and Mike Neu will serve as honorary coaches for the April 20 Spring Game.
"We are thrilled to welcome two of Ball State's legendary players back to campus for the spring game,"Lembo says. "In 2011, we were honored to have Coach Paul Schudel and Coach Bill Lynch back on the sidelines. Now, we have two of the great players those head coaches had a chance to influence in a positive way. It is important our current players get to know important alumni like Mike and Blaine, because we want them to be engaged with the football program long after they graduate as well."
Bishop, who lettered for the Cardinals from 1990-92 as a defensive back, went on to play 10 years in the National Football League and was a four-time Pro Bowl selection. A member the Ball State Athletics Hall of Fame, Bishop captained the Cardinals during his senior season in 1992, finishing his collegiate career with an appearance in the annual Blue-Gray All-Star Classic. The 1992 All-Mid-American Conference Second Team choice was selected by the Houston Oilers in the eighth round of the 1993 NFL Draft. The Sporting News named Bishop one of the NFL's Top 100 Players in 1998. While on the Titans' roster, Bishop also played in the 2000 Super Bowl, won by the St. Louis Rams. He retired from the league in 2002 after a single season with the Philadelphia Eagles but maintains his interest in the game through his work as a radio and television co-host and analyst in Nashville, Tenn.
Neu lettered at quarterback for Ball State from 1990-93 and led the Cardinals to the 1993 MAC Championship and a berth in the Las Vegas Bowl. The 1993 MAC Most Valuable Player and Offensive Player of the Year, Neu completed his career as Ball State's all-time leader with 6,221 passing yards and 43 touchdown passes. He played professionally in the Canadian Football League and Arena Football League before beginning a coaching career. Neu was the head coach of the AFL's Carolina Cobras and New Orleans VooDoo and was named the AFL Coach of the Year in 2004. He also coached the Arena Football League 2's Augusta Stallions to a conference title in 2000 with a 14-4 record and was named the AF2 Coach of the Year. Neu spent 2009-11 as a college scout for the New Orleans Saints and was a part of the team's Super Bowl Championship in 2009. This past season, Neu returned to the college ranks as the quarterbacks coach for the Tulane Green Wave.
In addition to the Spring Game, Lembo will also conduct a career development night where six former Ball State football lettermen for different careers will speak to the team.
At noon on game day, Lembo will make a presentation on the state of the program to any former players interested in attending at the Alumni Center.
Ball State's Spring Game will kick off at 3 p.m. and admission is free for all interested fans. The Cardinals will open the 2013 regular season with a Thurs., Aug. 29, home game vs. Illinois State.

I believe part of this is to inspire each other. I made this 15 years ago from an old atlas. The map was about 4 cm and the resizing was done by hand - making a grid over the map.
