The Material Unconscious: American Amusement, Stephen Crane, and the Economics of Playby William Brown

Within the ephemera of the everydayold photographs, circus posters, iron toyslies a challenge to America's dominant cultural memory.

As revealed in Crane
Within the ephemera of the everydayold photographs, circus posters, iron toyslies a challenge to America's dominant cultural memory. What this memory has left behind, Bill Brown recovers in the "material unconscious" of Stephen Crane's work, the textual residues of daily sensations that add up to a new history of the American 1890s. As revealed in Crane's disavowing appropriation of an emerging mass culturefrom football games and freak shows to roller coasters and early cinemathe decade reappears as an underexposed moment in the genealogy of modernism and modernity.
Brown's story begins on the Jersey Shore, in Asbury Park, where Crane became a writer in the shadow of his father, a grimly serious Methodist minister who vilified the popular amusements his son adored. The coastal resorts became the stage for debates about technology, about the body's visibility, about a black service class and the new mass access to leisure. From this snapshot of a recreational scene that would continue to inspire Crane's sensational modernism, Brown takes us to New York's Bowery. There, in the visual culture established by dime museums, minstrel shows, and the Kodak craze, he exhibits Crane dramatically obscuring the typology of race.
Along the way, Brown demonstrates how attitudes toward play transformed the image of war, the idea of childhood and nationhood, and the concept of culture itself. And by developing a new conceptual apparatus (with such notions as "recreational time," "abstract leisure," and the "amusement/knowledge system"), he provides the groundwork for a new politics of pleasure. A crucial theorization of how cultural studies can and should proceed, The Material Unconscious insists that in the very conjuncture of canonical literature and mass culture, we can best understand how proliferating and competing economies of play disrupt the so-called "logic" and "work" of culture.

CBNNews.com - GAZA STRIP - Middle East envoy and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was slated to visit the Gaza Strip this week. But he cancelled the visit after Israel's general security agency, the Shin Bet, warned of specific threats against him.
Though Blair didn't plan to meet with Hamas officials, the group planned to provide security for him during his visit.
Because Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by the US, EU, and Israel, Blair's decision stayed the US-course to boycott the group.
While in Gaza, Blair would have met with industry leaders in northern Gaza, including a waste-water project, in an attempt to bolster the Palestinian economy.
The trip would have marked Blair's first visit to the Strip since Hamas took control a year ago.
Blair last visited Gaza in 1998 while still prime minister. Blair is the envoy for the Middle East Quartet, which is comprised of the US, Russia, the EU and the UN.

Hi there,
Has anyone taken the Birth Arts Institute midwife's assistant class? Can you tell me how good it is and whether it's worth taking it? Thanks.
Bumping for input. Anyone?
I have done it. It is a great program. A lot of work, but really full of the skills and education I need to be a midwife's assistant.
Are you finding work as a MA because of your training in the program, or is it a stepping stone to pursuing a full CPM for you? Just curious, as I think that, at least for now, being a MA would be a better fit for me that going for the full CPM. TIA!

Diana F+ with different lenses on 35mm
Hello Everyone!
Tamas here. I got my astonishingly mind-blowing Hong Meow Diana F+ in a deluxe package with the different lenses and the 35mm back almost a week ago. I've been reading around among the tipsters and reviews about how different frames can be on 35mm when shot with a 'big' Diana.
Either I haven't looked thoroughly enough or there is no article dealing with how an image looks when photographed with the different lenses, so I thought I'd try giving you a detailed outline on what difference it makes, shooting on 35mm with the Diana F+'s different lenses. (Obviously there are articles giving you mathematical and practical equations about the 110mm Tele 'behaving' like a 200mm super tele but – to my best knowledge – there's no article dealing with this while giving illustrations.)
So this is going to be my first tipster, as soon as I finish shooting on the current roll of Lomography X-Pro Chrome, I'll get a normal pack of 35's and start shooting.
Till then, all the best,

How to Reduce Creatinine Levels?
Creatinine is a chemical waste molecule that is generated from muscle metabolism. Creatinine is produced from creatine, a molecule of major importance for energy production in muscles. Approximately 2% of the body's creatine is converted to creatinine every day. Creatinine is transported through the bloodstream to the kidneys. The kidneys filter out most of the creatinine and dispose of it in the urine. Because the muscle mass in the body is relatively constant from day to day, the creatinine level in the blood normally remains fundamentally unchanged on a daily basis.
Muscular young or middle-aged adults may have more creatinine in their blood than the norm for the general population. Elderly persons, on the other hand, may have less creatinine in their blood than the norm. Infants have normal levels of about 0.2 or more, depending on their muscle development. In people with malnutrition, severe weight loss, and long standing illnesses the muscle mass tends to diminish over time and, therefore, their creatinine level may be lower than expected for their age.
Any condition that impairs the function of the kidneys will probably raise the creatinine level in the blood. It is important to recognize whether the process leading to kidney dysfunction (kidney failure, azotemia) is longstanding or recent. The most common causes of longstanding kidney disease in adults are high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus. Certain drugs can sometimes cause abnormally elevated creatinine levels. Serum creatinine can also transiently rise after ingestion of large amount of dietary meat.
Creatine supplements are available at most health food stores Creatine is essentially converted to Creatinine in the body and are said to increase energy levels and muscle mass. However, over use of creatine supplements or advanced diabetes can result in dangerously high levels of Creatinine. This can cause dangerous conditions such as damage to the heart and kidneys, dehydration and in extreme cases even death. This article will tell you how to lower the creatinine levels in your body as a preventative measure.

Security, Life and Death: Governmentality and Biopower in the Post-9/11 Era
CALL FOR PAPERS: For an edited collection of scholarly papers on the above topic to be published with de Sitter Publications.
Editor: Claudio Colaguori, PhD. York University
Theorizations of power through a Foucaultian conceptual paradigm continue to predominate analyses of the present geo-political order. With the fall of the Berlin wall the 1990s quickly became known as the post-communist era of a burgeoning civil society, while critical thought at the start of 21st Century took a new turn in its captivation by the September 11th terrorist attacks on American soil. The post 9/11 era which we are still firmly in brings with it a new political ontology based on security and control. The response to the problem of "terror" and "security" has since shifted much social thought to the question of political power, the normalization of authoritarian measures, and the precarious dialectic between security and liberty – with real consequences for life and death. Predating the rise of Foucaultism, these issues have long been the subjects of focus in the earlier works of Max Weber, Hannah Arendt, Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, Nicos Poulantzas, Ralph Miliband, Murray Bookchin and numerous others. Currently the analytic paradigm developed by Michel Foucault continues to demonstrate its utility as a mode of critical analysis through a number of concepts he mobilized such as: biopower, governmentality, discipline, and security. These concepts allow us to identify forms, trends, strategies and counter-strategies of power within the constitution of social life and the reformation of social order that include and yet go beyond repressive state power. The social effects identified in Foucault's concepts are reflected in material reality in numerous ways:
· on the bodies of subjects who are configured by and/or resist the project of domination
· through the reconfiguration of society towards increasing securitization and social control
· how biopower continues to change form, shift and adapt to influence human and other terrestrial life forms and social realities beyond the state form to include matters of human well-being from the politics of food to labour issues and other crucial elements of the life-world
We are seeking original papers that demonstrate the material manifestations of biopower and governmentality that are analytically rigorous yet grounded in real-world practices and social conditions of the post 9/11 era. The project also encourages papers that analyze the ideas and analyses of other critical thinkers in relation to Foucault's themes.
Relevant topics to consider may include but are not limited to:
Ř social action and state backlash
Ř the criminalization of dissent
Ř policing terrorism and its discontents
Ř race, culture and social control
Ř pharmaceutical biopower
Ř ecological domination and risks to life
Ř new forms of reification
Ř inefficiencies of warfare and real collateral damage
Ř human rights and biopower
Ř real threats and risks in the post 9/11 era
Ř surveillance society – transportation, communication and public spies
Ř security and business war
Ř borders and airports as spaces of lawlessness/lawfulness
Ř the globalization of death in the post 9/11 era
Ř critical sociologies of law and security
Ř law and order society and its new authoritarianisms
Ř weaponization, militarization and the culture of contest
Ř autocracy within democracy
Ř fundamentalisms of thought and discourse that give rise to repressive social structures
Please send abstracts or original drafts for consideration to the editor at email@example.com by July 30 2011. Please put 'security and life' in the subject line.
Kind Regards,
Claudio Colaguori

Official: Nuke launch officers tied to drug probe
F.E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE, Wyo. -- Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel made a rare visit Thursday to an Air Force nuclear missile base, hoping to boost morale among the men and women who operate and safeguard the nation's Minuteman 3 nuclear missiles. But his attempt to cheer the troops was tempered by news that launch officers at another base had been implicated in a narcotics investigation.
A U.S. defense official said two Air Force officers at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana were implicated but didn't provide more details.
Both are ICBM launch officers with responsibility for operating the Minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missiles and work for the 341st Missile Wing, said the official.
Hagel was scheduled to address the staff at the missile base after security lapses and discipline problems were revealed in a series of Associated Press stories in 2013. Officials have said service members are tired of working in what can seem like oblivion at the base.

There are many art designs available on eBay to cater the high demand in the UK. The nature of open edition prints means that their number on the market is potentially countless, meaning that they are readily attainable and therefore affordable for most art enthusiasts to buy.
This guide will look at some examples of contemporary works and how to go about buying open edition prints from eBay.
What Are Contemporary Open Edition Prints?
There are two ways in which a piece of art can be printed, either with a fixed or non-fixed amount of duplications possibly made. A fixed number is known as a limited edition; this is where an art piece is only reproduced a certain amount of times with the intention of no more ever being printed.
The alternative is an open edition, which are not restricted at all in the number which can be printed. Because of this, open editions are more accessible on the market for the average buyer and therefore tend to be less expensive.The term contemporary is defined as something existing within the present time period. In terms of classifying art, it is often described as something produced post 1970. The subject matter of contemporary art has a broad range of topics often inspired by modern events such as globalisation and multiculturalism.
Types of Open Edition Prints
The subject matter of contemporary prints can stretch to anything, from a portrayal of an old 19th century building to a 21st century fighter jet to a modern pop music album cover. When searching on eBay in the 'Contemporary – Open Edition' category and using the preference bar on the left-hand side of the results page, some of the main categories that open edition prints fall into include:
- People & Portraits
- Animals
- Landscape/ Cityscape
- Fantasy
- Abstract
A lot of open edition prints are not actually specified into a certain category by the seller however. This can make it harder to pin down a particular but will provide many more results to review overall. They will be listed in the non-specified category.
Art Styles
A good way to narrow down the listings to bring up more desired prints is to select the sort of art movement that the painting could fall into. For example, some of the prints could be listed into the following art genres:
Vintage –Vintage or retro art is often bold and with images that stand out from any background they are placed on.
Pop Art – Many of the topics that inspire pop art are based around modern popular culture and the birth of well-recognised franchises. It allows the artist to express themselves in a variety of ways.
Realism – The motivation for realist paintings are to depict the subject as closely as possible and not necessarily being distracted by creative or background elements.
Impressionist –Impressionism was a movement founded in 19th century Europe with the emphasis on small, controlled and colourful brushstrokes to make up the image.
Again there are many more styles of art that may interest you, many of which may not have been specified by the seller. Carry out more research into which sorts of prints will be most suitable and search accordingly.
Art Substance
On what surface the picture is another aspect to consider when making a purchase. There are a number of different mediums in which an open edition print can be made. This section will run through the main two of them that are commonly listed on eBay.
Giclėe – Prints that are made digitally using inkjet printers are known as giclėe prints, by and large made on paper. It is a process used regularly in the fine art printing industry due to its easy and low-cost nature. A number of finishes such as matte paper are available for this type of printing that enhance its appearance.
Lithograph –Lithography is a printing method which traditionally used stones but now uses smooth metal plates during the printing process. With the onset of technology, many prints can be made digitally on computers which have made lithographic prints popular and affordable for many people in the UK.
Other printing process mediums include etching, silkscreen or woodcut. Once again, the vast majority of printing mediums will have been not specified by the seller.
Buying Considerations for Open Edition Prints
When coming to make a final purchase of a contemporary open edition print then also consider a few buying basics which some people may overlook.
The cost of open edition doesn't have to break the bank, even if making more than one purchase. This is due to the widespread nature of some open edition prints that can be replicated freely. Although some prints can fetch into the thousands of pounds mark, plenty of them can be found for less than £10.The size of the print must be thought out in respect to where it will be positioned. Check the details of the print carefully and measure out if it will fit in the desired location. Consider the frame aswell for this which itself can come in a variety of designs.
Consider the colour scheme and feel of the room the print will be placed in and whether the print is suitable. Remember that many low-cost contemporary prints can be bought to try out to see if they are suitable.
Are there any certain interests that you have which a print could represent? Music lovers may look for an album cover for example, football fans can do the same whilst iconic stars such as Marilyn Monroe can be sought after as well.
Using eBay to Buy a Contemporary Open Edition Print
Buying on eBay is easy and quick if the type of open edition print is known. Typing a relevant term such as "contemporary open edition print" will bring up many listings of this nature. It is also possible to review all the prints in the 'Contemporary (1980-Now)' section and all the 'Open Editions' within this category.Remember to review the print as carefully as possible and check all the items details. Be sure to ask the seller a question if unsure about any aspect of the prints quality or size. eBay offers the chance to buy either via the auction or buy it now facilities and a number of payment methods of which PayPal is considered to be the wisest to use.
The next section will look at how to make a payment for the print and also ensure its safe delivery to your door.
Postage and Payment
One of the main considerations for buying a contemporary print is how long it will take to be delivered and in what condition it will arrive in. Of course buying online brings the advantage of having an item shipped to the front door, saving time and effort in the process. However, an extra long delivery service or damaged print is obviously not preferable.
When reviewing an item, don't only read the description but also examine the 'Postage and Payment' details also. Below are a few tips on how to pay for the open edition print in question after it has been won and also some delivery advice:
First of all check out what payment methods the seller is accepting. Initially in the first few years of eBay's existence personal cheques or even cash were the normal means of paying. Since then, Paypal has emerged as the most traditional accepted form of completing a transaction. Be wary of sellers who don't offer Paypal as a payment method. For new eBay users planning to use the site often, it is best to look into signing up for its safe and secure service.It may sound an obvious aspect to consider, but will there be enough money in your account to actually cover the cost of the open edition print. Only bid or pay as much as can be afforded.
In regards to the delivery of the print, consider if it is needed for a specific time and whether the postage options offered by the seller are suitable. On the item's description page, details should be present of what service the seller is providing in terms of the courier method and also an estimated delivery date.
Look at the location of them item. An open edition print being delivered from hundreds of miles away will potentially cost more and also take longer to arrive. Also, in respect to delicate art works, the longer the distance it has to be delivered from, the higher the chance of damage. If the print is local or within driving distance, then asking to pick it up first hand is always an option too.
The cost of delivery is another basic element to have in mind. Remember to add this to the budget set out for the print in the first place. Some items on eBay may seem cheaper than others, but will actually end up costing more due to the increased postage costs.
Does the seller post to the location you are in. Some sellers may exclude delivery to certain areas, especially if the print is coming from overseas. Residents of the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Isle of Wight and similar areas of the UK may find this is a common problem.
Review the history of the seller and feedback comments in relation to their delivery record in particular. Look out for remarks such as "quick delivery" or "item didn't arrive in specified time" to get a better idea of who is selling the item.Finally, if the print is arriving via recorded delivery then make sure someone is in the house to sign for the item. Ask for further details on the postage from the seller if unsure of any detail.
Consider which style of print is needed and where about in the house it will be positioned before making a purchase. Using eBay to perform an open edition print search is advisable as there are many different types of print available along with the chance to purchase one at an affordable rate.

It has a vast selection of tapas restaurants and bars, and there's a nice culture of serving tapas with drinks as a sort of pre-dinner treat. The city is home to many religious structures such as Leon Cathedral, the Basilica San Isidoro and Royal Pantheon, which plays host to many pilgrims. Many people utilise car hire in Leon to explore the outlying areas, and by doing so you'll not only enjoy the delights of this important provincial capital, you'll also discover places like the Caverns of Valporquero.

My question is on off days do we still use the off day macros from the calculators or the above calculation.

If ruger, get a -Six model. No complaints.
If Smith......which I recommend.....
My S&W 620 is a 4" bbl, and balances perfectly; recoil is very controllable one handed through all 7 rounds, DA-ing .357. 6" would be more accurate, but throw the balance off ever-so-slightly. That being said, I"m still looking for a 6", but my .357 appetite has been throroughly satiated by my 620.:D . And, it has a trigger bested only by custom jobbies or Pythons.
August 23, 2006, 06:56 PM
Ruger or S&W, 4" or 6"
Ford or Chevy? Six foot bed or 8 foot bed?
For general use I'd go with Ruger GP-100 or a Pre-Lock S&W 686, both with 4" bbls. For hunting I'd lean toward the same revolvers with 6" Bbbls. General use I'd go with the S&W, hunting I'd go with the Ruger; overall my preference would be a pre-lock 4" 686. That's all personal preference. Decide what you like and go with it, there is no wrong choice here.
August 23, 2006, 07:01 PM
An L Frame Smith or a Ruger GP100 with a four inch barrel each have a very nice balanced feel.
If you are target shooting or hunting a longer barrel is always easier to aim.
Go and hold one of each and see how they feel in your hand. I have always found the 6 inch and longer barrels to be a bit heavy. I have a GP 100 with a four inch barrel and it handles very nice. There is also plenty of weight to keep the .357 rounds under control.
August 23, 2006, 08:52 PM
Strictly for home defence, I'd recomment 6" - less flash, easier to aim. Same for hunting or defence against animals.
If you plan to carry it around for self-defence against humans, especially concealed, 4" is much more manageable.
I have 4 S&Ws - including a 4-inch 7-round 686-Plus but I have never heard people being dissappointed in a Ruger.
August 23, 2006, 09:40 PM
I'd keep an SP-101 handy at all times (including carry) and a .357 lever-action carbine, for when I have more time.
August 23, 2006, 10:00 PM
I'd go 6-inches on this one. The .357 Max is a long cartridge and likes to throw out lots of gas, so the longer the barrel, the more bang for the buck. It also eats forcing cones, so go for modest loads.
August 23, 2006, 10:11 PM
I went with a post lock 686+ 4". I wanted new for what I consider one of the best handguns out there.
August 23, 2006, 11:26 PM
The .357 Max is a long cartridge and likes to throw out lots of gas, so the longer the barrel, the more bang for the buck. It also eats forcing cones, so go for modest loads.Are you sure you're in the right thread? This is .357 Mag, not .357 Maximum, like the other thread floating around here.
Get an L-Frame Smith. Wonderful balance.
August 24, 2006, 10:21 AM
You're right. Me eyes were playin' tricks on me.
Never mind. Change me vote to 4-inch.... :confused:

Marquez vs Peterson Could Fall on July 14th at Cowboys
by Rick Reeno
Top Rank's CEO, Bob Arum, advised BoxingScene.com that July 14th is a tentative date for a possible junior welterweight bout between IBF/WBA champion Lamont Peterson (30-1, 15KOs) and former three division beltholder Juan Manuel Marquez (53-6-1, 39KOs).
Marquez is already on board with the fight, but Peterson is still considering his options - which include a rematch with Amir Khan.
Before they collide in July, Arum would like to have the two of them take part in separate fights, possibly on March 17th, in a newly constructed venue in Mexico City.
Provided both of them win in March, Arum would place the July fight in Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
"That's my goal. That's what I would like to see, but we'll see if we can do it," Arum told BoxingScene.com.

Does JWP Really Have a "Take Me to Parkland" Tattoo? Be Cooler If He Did.
The "Vote for Parkland" bond campaign kicked off today in front of the Doctor's Office in Old City Park -- where we particularly enjoyed the aroma from the donkeys, Nip and Tuck, kept behind wooden fence next door. Becky Mayad, handling media relations for the Vote for Parkland campaign, told Unfair Park the scene was chosen to juxtapose the nostalgia of the old doc's office originally on Jefferson Street with the sad-sack Parkland Hospital on Harry Hines, which the county desperately wants to replace at the cost of $747 million to the taxpayers come November's election..
The campaign urges voters to approve the $1.2-billion dollar project, 40 percent of which will be funded through cash reserves, philanthropic efforts and private donations -- many of which were announced last week during a morning wingding at the original Parkland Hospital on Maple Avenue. The public's contribution will come in the form of property taxes, at 20 dollars per year per $100,000 in property value; it goes up to $25 in 2012, and then to $35 after 2014.
Dallas County residents will vote on the bond on November 4, prompting Dallas city council Member Elba Garcia to say that "of course it's going to be at the end of the ballot -- all the important things are always at the end of the ballot."
Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price urged folks to vote because, he says, he already has a tattoo that reads, "Take Me to Parkland" -- and "I don't want 'em to be confused ... just in case something happens," he said. Big laughs.
Dr. Ron Anderson, Parkland's CEO, said the county could go about getting the funding a different way, rather than by taxing the taxpayers. "But we think this is something so important that the voters should vote for it," he said. "But do we need to do it regardless? We need to do it regardless." --Courtney Clenney

Get to Know Tobago
Warm breezes and calypso music offer a dose of therapy to all who travel to Tobago. Spending time near Scarborough offers you the option to visit Fort King George or hop on a ferry to Trinidad. You should keep in mind that many Tobago all inclusive hotels are situated on the shores of Crown Point, Pigeon Point, Buccoo Reef, and Store Bay. You can head to Pirate's Bay on the island's northwest corner to experience fewer tourists and rougher waves. The large coral communities off its coast make Tobago one of the Caribbean's top spots for scuba diving. Don't be surprised to see tropical fish and turtles swirling at your ankles when you submerge your body in the blue magic that surrounds the island.
The Terrific Weather of Tobago
It's nearly always warm and sunny on this Caribbean island. Tobago's consistent warm weather means a great vacation is waiting for you whenever you have some free time in your year. Booking a room at one of the Tobago hotels near airport makes it even easier to plan a quick and easy vacation during a break from work or school.
Amazing Things to Do in Tobago
You'll love surrounding yourself with celestial tiers of water and harmonious crickets at the Argyle Waterfall. Add an excursion to Nylon Pool to your agenda. Many of the tour boats headed to this popular swimming spot feature glass bottoms for your viewing pleasure. When you're ready to spread your wings and fly from the beach, Genesis Nature Park offers the chance to interact with tropical birds of every feather.

Scott Walker misses deadline for appointing mental health board members
Gov. Scott Walker missed the deadline Monday to name all members to a new board to oversee mental health care in Milwaukee County.
Walker named seven of his 11 appointments but needs more information before he can name the other four, according to Laurel Patrick, his spokeswoman.
Patrick said in an email Monday that two more members — a substance abuse specialist and a consumer of mental health services — would be named later this week, once they are vetted. The final two — a lawyer and a consumer — will be named once all candidates for those slots submit their paperwork.
Mary Neubauer, who will serve on the board by virtue of her position as co-chair of the Milwaukee Mental Health Task Force, said she was bothered by Walker's failure to name the full board by Monday's deadline.
"It's not like they didn't have the names," Neubauer said.
Patrick said the nine members were enough for the board to be "operational and function."
But, Neubauer said, without all members named, they would not be able to meet.
"It's very frustrating," she said.
The Milwaukee County Board, which recommends five of the nine appointees, voted on its roster May 7. County Executive Chris Abele, who recommends the other four, submitted his list to Walker on May 16.
The board was established by a law passed in March and published April 9. Walker is required to name board members within 60 days of the law's publication.
The new board will replace the County Board in overseeing funding decisions for public mental health care in Milwaukee County.
The bill was sparked by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's "Chronic Crisis" investigation, which found that patients continued to die of abuse and neglect as politicians ignored decades of calls for reform.
Those named by Walker on Monday are:
■ Robert Chayer, psychiatrist and medical director of the department of psychiatry at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.
■ Maria Perez, a psychologist and the behavioral health director at the Community Health Center.
■ Jeffrey Miller, mental health nurse and an assistant professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
■ Peter Carlson, president of Aurora Psychiatric Hospital in Milwaukee.
■ Thomas Lutzow, finance and administration, president and CEO of the Independent Care Health Plan.
The two non-voting members appointed by Walker are Jon Lehrmann, a psychiatrist, representing the Medical College of Wisconsin, and Ron Diamond, a psychiatrist representing the University of Wisconsin.
The two remaining voting members by virtue of their position are Neubauer from the Mental Health Task Force and Mike Kreuser, former chief financial officer for Milwaukee County's Behavioral Health Division, now a member of the County Community Programs Board.

Success Stories
Each month the "Farm to School" task force will feature a Madison County farm in the school news. This month's featured farm is "Cooper Farms", a 93 acre farm, owned and operated by Chris & Patty Cooper for the last 15 years. With the help of their 4 sons: Blake, Chase, Logan, & Austin, they raise beef cattle, chickens (for the eggs), and hay. The latest premium product they raise is lettuce. The Coopers grow hydroponic lettuce. Hydroponic is a method of growing plants using water without soil. They are raising three types of lettuce in a greenhouse: Butterhead Bib, Romaine Leaf, and Red & Green Oak Leaf lettuces. Someone needs to transplant and reseed once every week.
The Coopers have taken lettuce to 15 different Madison County schools since the start of school this year! The Coopers sell their lettuce at the Madison County Farmers Market on Saturdays from 8-12am; they also sell to local groceries and restaurants. Many foods travel an average of 1500 miles to get to the schools or groceries in our community. Fresh local grown foods are much tastier and have more nutrition. Lettuce can be a good source of fiber and many essential vitamins and minerals. Try using lettuce in salads, sandwiches, hamburger, tacos, and other foods. In Chinese foods, the stem is used just as much as the leaf. Let's support our farmers by eating fresh healthy foods grown in Kentucky! Special thanks to Cooper Farms.

Adventurous students at Lansdowne Elementary who sampled sweet potatoes with brown sugar and cinnamon got an animal sticker in return for trying a new food. The taste test was the first district-sponsored activity under the national Farm to School network, which Fayette County Public Schools is piloting at Lansdowne. Other possible avenues are school gardens, composting programs and farm tours ? all of which help youngsters understand where their food comes from and how their choices affect their health, environment and community.
The aim is to improve students' diets with fresh, appetizing foods picked at the peak of their flavor and to reinforce classroom lessons with tangible examples in the cafeteria. "We're just trying to get the kids to connect the progression with how food gets from the farm to the table and that there's a person behind this. There is food grown locally ? it doesn't just magically appear," said Marty Flynn, the district's Child Nutrition program coordinator. She, colleague Diane Seale and two dietitians from the county health department visited Lansdowne on Wednesday to encourage the children to try a new food, handing out small cups of sweet potatoes as classes filled the cafeteria tables.
The reaction among some of the youngest? "It's really sweet!" and "It tasted like pie." FCPS is receiving broad community support for Farm to School. The steering committee also includes representatives from the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department, the University of Kentucky, the Fayette County Cooperative Extension, the Arboretum and the Lexington Farmers Market. As those resources filter down to the school level, teachers and students will benefit greatly. "With the Farm to School program, Lansdowne students are going to have a chance to connect their science curriculum (plant growth) and social studies curriculum (economics) to studies about healthy bodies," said first-grade teacher Jennifer Rodabaugh.
"In my classroom, we will be learning about how foods are grouped according to the nutrition pyramid and how the foods affect our bodies. We will also be working on making sure the students are aware of good food choices versus poor food choices. During lunchtime, we will begin to track how many healthy choices we are making daily. I hope this will raise nutritional awareness." Cafeteria manager Linda Stewart and her staff do their part, too. For instance, they displayed a basket of uncut sweet potatoes so the children could see the original produce. And in the spring, Lansdowne will kick off what Stewart called the "dot" program, which is all about putting a rainbow on every child's plate. Her staff will wear the colors of each food group to encourage students to ask questions about different choices.
"They'll be more informed on what it takes to make a balanced diet," Stewart said. Lansdowne was selected to pilot the Farm to School initiative in part because of such efforts. "Our excellent cafeteria staff does a great job of offering our students varied choices of fruits and vegetables. A point is made to ask the students not just what foods they want for lunch, but more specifically, what fruit or vegetable would you like to have," Rodabaugh said. "At Lansdowne we want our students to be the best that they can be, inside and out. Farm to School will just be another tool we will use to make that happen."
Boyle County
Hello Wyatt's,
Your lettuce was a hit! It not only looked and tasted good, we have had teachers especially comment and generate interest among themselves and with students. It has been one of the most positive things we have done this year. I am interested in continuing on with the product until the end of the school year. Now, that said, we have to work out a delivery schedule.
With the way my menus run, I use some weekly at the High School, Middle School level and every other week at the elementary level.
Also, please let me know when your tomatoes are ready. Thanks so much.

Is it possible to get pregnant with pre-ejaculatory fluid?
Q: Hello, I am worried if i am pregnant. My last period came on 8th of may.Me and my boyfriend had some sex on the 15th of may. first he wore a condom and rubbed with his penis on top of my vagina for 30 mins, but in between we dont know when the condom slipped. then we had penetration to, till it reached the hymen. again we dont know when the condom slipped during this penetration. There was no ejaculation near my body of any sort, but we are worried about pre-ejaculation. I am late with my period for 7 days now. i had backache a few days ago. Yesterday he fingered me and when i reached home i saw there was blood. But it was very less. Now i am worried if its implantation bleeding, and that i am pregnant. in the country i live in, i cant go to a doctor for this. we can take home pregnancy tests, but i am not sure when to take it. Please in ur medical opinion, say what is most likely happening
A: Using condoms (even if it does not break) is only ~98% effective to prevent pregnancy. The mere fact that the condom broke greatly increases the chance of conceiving. Any seminal fluid, pre-ejaculation, ejaculation or post ejaculation, contains sperms cells. Even if he did not ejaculate inside you there is still a significant chance of getting pregnant. Sperm cells can live up to 3-5 days inside the vagina as well. You may do a home pregnancy test now. Better do this in the morning (first morning urine upon waking up) because during this time, the urine has the highest amount of detectable hormones. Repeating the home pregnancy test 1-2 weeks from now is also an option. The bleeding you had could be due to trauma (fingering) or yes, implantation bleeding. If you find out you are not pregnant, please practice safe sex always; use condoms AND birth control pills or patch. This way you will not be thrown in jail and unwanted pregnancy can be avoided. I hope this helps.

A recent article titled "NSA posts secrets to writing secure code" caught my eye in part because the words "writing secure code" always get my attention! But also because anything that can advance the science of securing software is of interest to me.
There is another reason why the article got my attention; my manager, Steve Lipner, is one of the few people to have designed and built a TCSEC A1 assured system and lived to tell the tale. None were sold, but they built one!
The NSA-directed project, the Tokeneer ID Station (TIS), involved building a low-defect system that conforms "to the Common Criteria requirements for Evaluation Assurance Level 5 (EAL5)" in a "cost effective manner." I'm all for this, because building high-assurance solutions is not cheap.
There's a paper with more technical detail about the project that is worth a read.
In my opinion, the project is only a science project, an experiment, for the following reasons:
- It's tiny. Weighing in at a little under 10 KLOC.
- It's only a very small portion of a much larger solution which has not been developed using the same rigor. This bit of context makes the solution as a whole moot. Call me cynical, but my question is "can the entire solution be built with same rigor in a 'cost effective manner'?" Perhaps it can, but that is not what is presented.
- It sits on top of many operating systems (Windows, Mac OS X and Linux) that are not EAL5 certified. So it would be a little like having an EAL5 certified CharMap application running on EAL4 Windows Vista.
- It's written in a subset of Ada called SPARK, and SPARK skills are not common in the marketplace. Interestingly, SPARK makes use of annotations to help drive the static analysis process. While not a total analog, we also recommend Microsoft development teams use annotations (SAL) to help drive the required static analysis process.
- The application has a large number of dependencies that are not part of the project:

In the SDL we call these files 'giblets' because they are components needed for your application to operate, but they do not belong to your team. Some of the files look old and highly vulnerable, such as libpng-3.dll from 2001! OSVDB lists 23 vulnerabilities since 2002 in libpng!
In summary, the TIS project is very interesting to a small number of important but specialized customers, such as the NSA, for whom this kind of research is critical. I too found it interesting, but the process is far from a set of "secrets to writing secure code" and the tools are certainly not within reach of day-to-day applications and not applicable to developing complete solutions.

Honor the Life and Accomplishments of Professor Jim Crow with a Donation to The Crow Professorship
Save the date for honoring the life of Jim Crow, September 23rd.
Over the next year, The Laboratory of Genetics will honor Professor Jim Crow in anticipation of what would have been his 100th birthday. A birthday celebration will take place in Fall 2016 in the form of a symposium and dinner. In preparation for the fall celebration, the department is focused on reaching a $1 million goal to have a professorship in Prof. Crow's honor. If the Crow Professorship fund reaches $50,000 in gifts and pledges by June 8, the new gifts and pledges will be matched dollar for dollar.

Welcome to the University of Wisconsin-Madison Laboratory of Genetics. The Laboratory of Genetics is comprised of two sister departments that function as one. The Department of Genetics in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences was founded in 1910 and is the oldest genetics department in the country. The Department of Medical Genetics, which recently celebrated its fiftieth anniversary, is housed within the School of Medicine and Public Health. Our mission is to address fundamental problems in genetics as they relate to medicine, agriculture, and basic knowledge of biology.
The Laboratory of Genetics is also home to the Genetics Training Program, with over 80 faculty trainers from diverse departments on campus that together provide graduate students diverse opportunities in modern genetics research. Please visit our pages to find out more about us.
