"To be really frank, I want to push this play and not talk about The Pill." The play in question is Insufficiency, which has its stage debut on 20 September at Riverside Studios. Like it or not, you are more likely to have heard of the play's author Carl Djerassi for his contribution to the development of oral contraceptives and the resulting social revolution than for his work as a novelist, poet and playwright.
[partner id="wireduk" align="right"]In 1951, aged 27, Djerassi achieved the first chemical synthesis of a contraceptive steroid, norethindrone, that wasn't broken down by the digestive system and could therefore be taken orally.
Now 89, Djerassi is a novelist and playwright, a career he has been pursuing for more than 25 years. It's understandable that he is a little tired of being referred to as the "inventor" or "father" of The Pill. "That was 60 years ago and I've done a lot more since then," he told Wired UK. "A lot more" refers to three more decades of research, with significant contributions to the application of physical measurements (such as optical dispersion and mass spectrometry) to organic chemistry. It also refers to five novels, a collection of short stories and numerous poems. Since 1997, Djerassi has focused on play-writing, honing a genre that he refers to as "science-in-fiction".
Insufficiency centres around a Polish chemist and bubbleologist Jerzy Krzyz, a new arrival at an American university chemistry department keen to secure tenure. Rivalry gets out of hand when he gives two colleagues trying to block his appointment some experimental champagne which turns out to be deadly. The whodunit examines the tribal behaviour of academics, xenophobia and fashion in science.
Wired UK caught up with Djerassi about the production, his struggle for acceptance among the literati, his reluctance to be considered the "father" of the contraceptive pill and the tensions between science and the arts.
Wired UK: Have you always had a creative outlet?
Carl Djerassi: I was an active scientist for half a century and moved to literature about 25 years ago. As a scientist I never did anything in the area of creative writing or never had any urge. However, I am an intellectual polygamist and have already been interested in music and theatre and art. I am not a cultural Neanderthal. But when it comes to writing I only started when I was 63 and a few years later decided to make this a new intellectual life.
Wired UK:You have developed a genre that you describe as science-in-fiction. Can you elaborate on what that is?
Djerassi: Science in fiction portrays the lives of real scientists. It's specifically differentiated from science fiction, which is a much more popular genre. When I first embarked on this career change, I had a didactic motive. If you can do it cleverly then that's what I do. I call myself an intellectual smuggler, where smuggling is a commendable activity not an illegal one. I am trying to do something about the enormous gulf between the scientific community and non-scientific one. I have to seduce readers or theatre-goers on my literary merits and not scientific ones. When they've sat through the whole thing they'll learn something whether they like it or not.
Wired UK: Why do you think there is such a gap between humanities and science?
Djerassi: The public or the media can do nothing for our reputation as a scientist. It's completely controlled, raised, demolished by our most important colleagues. If I'm an important organic chemists, it's only because 27 other organic chemists think so. The New York Times or the Times mean nothing and we get no brownie points for this.
Wired UK: What spurred you to trade academia for literature?
Djerassi: It's a bad motive, but it was revenge. I lived with [esteemed English professor] Diane Middlebrook for five years. It was my most important relationship emotionally. Then one day she told me she was in love with someone else. I had a typical male response — testosterone, cortical steroids and adrenaline — and asked her how she could not love me any more? I'd never met the man. I don't even know his name, but he was a literati. And I said "I'll show her". Suddenly there was an explosion of poems — 60 or so poems [recently released under the title A Diary of Pique]. Then I decided to write a novel about her, titled Middles. In that year I wrote a 300-page manuscript which I sent her. She was flabbergasted. An English professor who spent five years living with a chemist did not expect a novel. We got married a year later in 1985 and she made me promise that I didn't publish it. Two months later I was diagnosed with bowel cancer and I became very self-centred and depressed, thinking about death aged 63. That's when I decided to lead another intellectual life.
Wired UK: What keeps you writing plays?
Djerassi: It's an effective treatment for loneliness. I am an old widower. I am interested in younger people, not my contemporaries. I have a young brain and appearance. But an 89-year-old man isn't going to find many people who are thirty or forty years younger. With playwriting you have continuous conversations in your mind and that is extremely stimulating.
Wired UK: Many members of the scientific community are dismissive about the arts. As an organic chemist who has transitioned to the other side, how have you dealt with this?
Djerassi: I sit completely between two chairs. Important research scientists don't read books. They don't have that curiosity because they are completely and totally occupied in a very sophisticated way with their science. You have to read the scientific literature. If you don't keep up that's it. It's not that they are intellectual boors inherently, but they become that through being total workaholics. It's exciting but culturally limited. The vast majority of people think you are dabbling. "You can write a novel on the side," they say. Some are jealous, some admire, but vast majority think I'm wasting my time.
On the other side, it's the other way round. The arts have an almost pathological fear of science and technology. You see very few plays that deal with science of technology in an interesting way. They worry that science and technology are taking on the world and now they are going to come and take over the theatre as well. They will not accept me as a real member of that tribe.
Wired UK: There are lots of doctors (eg Chekhov) who have become playwrights, but not very many chemists. Why is this?
Djerassi: Because they deal with human beings; chemists deal with molecules. We don't speak the same language; we communicate in pictography of chemical structures.
Wired UK: Where did the idea for Insufficiency come from?
Djerassi: I decided that if I want to bring science to the public, talking about science is not what to do. Science journalists do that much better. Much more interesting is the behaviour and culture of scientists — it's a very tribal culture. Rather than describing science, describing a tribal behaviour requires an insider. Insiders don't write about it because they are not really aware of their own behaviour. People accused me of washing dirty lab coat in public and that's exactly what I'm doing and it should be done.
Wired UK: What is Insufficiency about?
Djerassi: I'm talking about a couple of issues. The first is fashion in science. Some topics are fashionable and others aren't and so are deemed not important. The second is the brutal tenure track and the xenophobia that exists in Europe and the US. My main character is a young Polish immigrant scientist working in an American university. I can comment on the tribal culture because I don't say "you stupid jerks", I say "we stupid jerks". I did exactly the same thing and I am now honest enough to address it whereas most people don't address it.
Wired UK: The lead character Jerzy Krzyz is mocked for being a bubbleologist…
Djerassi: It's a reasonable term. It's not used very frequently, but it's the science of bubbles. If you hear it you don't take seriously but it's very complicated and involves quantum form and physics. I have no question that anyone who sees the play will never drink a glass of champagne without thinking about it. Why do the bubbles when you boil water start at the side? These are questions that people don't pay attention to.
Wired UK: How do you feel about being referred to as the "inventor" of the pill?
Djerassi: I don't like the word inventor or the father of the pill, because there has to be a mother. Any chemist is the mother of a medicinal invention, the biologist is the father and the clinician is the midwife. You can't produce a baby just being the father or the mother. The inventor of the pill is a meaningless term. I was responsible for the first synthesis of an oral contraceptive. [The biologist was Gregory Pincus and the clinician was John Rock]. I am the co-inventor.
If you look at the many reviews of my plays or books, there isn't one that doesn't mention something like "Carl Djerassi, involved in the pill, has now started to write" [sorry, Carl]. I wish when I decided to change professions I had done it under a nom de plum.
Wired UK: But surely you can appreciate why people are interested in it?
Djerassi: It is in terms of societal consequences by far the most important things that I've done, but scientifically I'm much better known as a chemist for elements that have nothing to do with the pill. I've published over 1,000 papers and only a very small proportion of them have anything to do with oral contraceptives. Even as a chemist I am sensitive to this point.
Wired UK: As a chemist what are you most proud of?
Djerassi: As an organic chemist I think I played an important role in bringing physical methods to the structural elucidation of organic compound such as optical dispersion, circular dichroism and mass spectrometry. These methodologies have changed the conduct of structural elucidation in organic chemistry.
Wired UK: How does criticism within science compare to literary criticism?
Djerassi: In science you have no professional critics. The evaluation process is peer review. They are doing the same thing you are doing and it's anonymous. If you have misbehaviour, it is generally based on competition. You are in a position to say nasty things that you wouldn't dare say to their face. It is addressed to their editor and often don't know who has written it.
In literature most people who write reviews are professional critics and I don't mean this pejoratively. There are very few playwrights who review plays. Some professional critics have very sharp tongues, but many do it to prove that nastiness is the equivalent to cleverness and it is not. The trouble is that I'm very vulnerable to this. I have maximum another ten years. It's not like a 29-year-old Irish playwright. I'm not going to live until I'm 120.
Insufficiency runs from 20 September to 20 October at Riverside Studios in London. For more information visit riversidestudios.co.uk

I Have Horrible Anxiety Attacks and Awful Thoughts About Murder
I'm 17 and ever since I was young I have always had anxious feelings about those around me, and that I'm going to be murdered. It's all I can think about. I feel that hearing about the vast number of horrific murders there are lately in society plays a big part in the way I feel. I have the constant feeling that in the night me and my family will be horribly killed, with a knife or an axe. I am terribly afraid of knives and freak out even when my father is holding one in the kitchen. It makes me feel out of control and that if somebody decided to stab me they could just do it so easily? Sometimes I will lie in bed at 2am trying to get to sleep, with the image of somebody coming up the stairs to kill me. I have to check around my room before I lie down, before and after turning off the lights! I can't be in the house alone even in the day time because I feel like being murdered is inevitable. I can't even have a shower without thinking about it. Lately it has kept me up at night and will bring me to tears, to the point where I will have to wake up my father to feel safe.
I feel like I'm going crazy. Even my heartbeat sounds like footsteps at night, and I freak out even more when I try to understand if I'm going mad or not. What I'm even more terrified about, is that if I lose control and lose my state of mind, I worry that I could sleepwalk and kill my family my sleep. Writing it out makes it feel even more ridiculous and pathetic than when I think about it, but I'm scared. What is wrong with me?
A: Thanks for writing in with your question. It sounds like your fears and obsessions are getting worse and you are becoming miserable. I cannot offer an official diagnosis without a formal evaluation, but it sounds like you might be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Especially since you mentioned that you have had anxious feelings since being very young.
The good news is that anxiety disorders are very, very treatable. The bad news is that they can get worse (as evidenced by your question) if they go untreated. I urge you to find a mental health professional soon so you can get your life back. You would most likely benefit from seeing both a therapist and a psychiatrist to get the most symptom relief.
Sometimes with anxiety disorders, small fears can eventually turn into obsessions. The more you try not to think about it, the more you think about it. It becomes a vicious cycle. However, most of the things we fear never really happen.
Please seek out professional help soon. Depending on your situation, you may need to ask your parents for help with this. In the meantime, you might find it helpful to develop a positive self-statement or mantra that you repeat to yourself when you are scared. It makes it even more powerful to also think of a place or image that brings up feelings of safety for you. Good luck.
All the best,
Dr. Holly Counts

Inventing Polymer Science: Staudinger, Carothers, and the Emergence of Macromolecular Chemistry. Yasu Furukawa. 416 pp. University of Pennsylvania Press, 1998. $49.95.
Today we take for granted the existence of enormously long polymer molecules, which can be many millions of times larger than water, carbon dioxide and other so-called ordinary molecules. Yet as recently as the 1920s, the chemical community regarded with derision the idea that a single molecule could be so huge. This resistance to polymers had always been an enigma to me—until I read Yasu Furukawa's meticulously researched historiography.
Emil Fischer, the great organic chemist and 1902 Nobelist in chemistry, said around 1913 that organic compounds having a molecular weight greater than 5,000 grams per mole might not exist. Such was his influence that this dictum was almost unquestioningly and universally accepted by chemists. Adherents of the nascent discipline of physical chemistry, notably Wolfgang Ostwald, further muddied the waters by postulating that polymers we now know to be long-chain molecules (starch, cellulose, silk, rubber) were merely physical aggregates of smaller molecules united by vague "partial valences," not true giant molecules held together by chemical bonds. X-ray crystallography of polymer fibers revealed unit cells no bigger than those of ordinary molecules. This was taken as evidence supporting the aggregate theory. By the late 1910s, this theory was firmly entrenched in the academy.
Onto this scene burst—there can be no other word—Hermann Staudinger, the German chemist who in 1917 first proposed the idea that polymers were giant molecules whose small-molecule constituents were linked together in long chains by chemical bonds no different from chemical bonds in ordinary organic compounds. His idea, postulated not as much from empirical evidence as from a deep belief in August Kekulé's organic-structural view of chemistry, met with immediate scorn from the scientific community. Staudinger, "not exactly a gentle and compromising protagonist of his work," as one of his contemporaries put it, promptly embarked on a campaign to refute the aggregate theory while vigorously and vociferously promoting his macromolecular theory—entirely on his own. In 1926, Fritz Haber helped arrange what was later to be viewed as a landmark symposium on polymers, held in Düsseldorf. Besides his Nobel Prize-winning synthesis of ammonia, Haber had also played an important role in Germany's development of poison gas during World War I, a role that Staudinger, a staunch pacifist, had criticized quite openly. Haber never forgot the insult, and took his revenge at the 1926 symposium by packing the roster with several leading advocates of the aggregate theory, pitting them against Staudinger as the lone voice for the macromolecular view.
Haber's plans backfired somewhat, as Staudinger's vehement defense of his theory convinced conference chairman Richard Willstätter, who nevertheless said he found "the concept that a molecule can have a molecular weight of 100,000 [grams per mole] . . . somewhat terrifying." Another chemist is said to have remarked, "We are shocked like zoologists would be if they were told that somewhere in Africa an elephant was found who was 1,500 feet long and 300 feet high." Staudinger, however, had held his own at the meeting, and the tide of scientific opinion was soon to turn in his favor.
X-ray crystallography now appeared to be the last remaining refuge of the aggregate theorists, who were still convinced that the small size of polymer unit cells, unequivocally established some years earlier, necessarily implied the small size of polymer molecules. This incorrect assumption was addressed in the years following the Düsseldorf conference by several physicists working in the field, who concluded that small unit-cell sizes corresponding to the size of the monomers were perfectly compatible with long chain polymers and that the molecular size of polymeric substances could not be inferred from x-ray diffraction results.
Just as Staudinger was beginning to win over his opponents, Wallace Carothers, a continent away in America, nailed the coffin's lid on the aggregate theory with his brilliant synthesis in the late 1920s of a series of polymers through organic condensation reactions using bifunctional starting compounds. By the 1930s, the existence of long-chain giant molecules was no longer seriously in doubt, and, in 1953, Staudinger was awarded the Nobel prize in chemistry "for his discoveries in the field of macromolecular chemistry," becoming the first polymer scientist in history to receive this honor.
In Inventing Polymer Science, Furukawa sets out to provide an analysis of the formative period of macromolecular chemistry in its intellectual and social setting. He succeeds in doing so and highlights the industrial setting of the emergence of this discipline as well.
The two scientists, Staudinger and Carothers, on whose work and lives this book is primarily focused, may rightly be viewed as the founders of polymer chemistry. Furukawa examines their few similarities and contrasts their different scientific objectives, work environments, personalities and cultures, shedding light on a great many details of the development of polymer chemistry from the concept of a macromolecule in 1917 to the mature multifaceted discipline it is today. Some of these details are already widely known, such as that Carothers took his own life, yet the author handles these well-known facts adroitly. In Furukawa's account, Carothers's suicide comes on the reader like a thunderclap, as shattering now as it was then. Other details are in turn illuminating and inspiring, such as the accounts of Staudinger's lone defense of his macromolecular theory and his prodigious research efforts during the height of Nazi oppression. (More than half of his papers were published between 1933 and 1945, while he was a victim of Nazi antipathy, Gestapo investigations and professional back-stabbing.) Nevertheless, the picture painted of these giants shows their all too human side as well—for instance, depicting unflinchingly Staudinger's abandonment of his family and pacifist principles to obtain a job at Freiburg in 1926. The author treats the maturing of polymer chemistry beyond the 1940s rather sketchily, sticking with the book's title and stated focus.
Inventing Polymer Science suffers from a few shortcomings, notably a somewhat cumbersome reference system consisting of separate "Notes" and "Bibliography" sections that could have been combined. Notwithstanding these venial flaws, this book will doubtless serve as a useful reference that provides a sound historical examination of the early years of polymer chemistry.

The pituitary is an important gland near the base of the brain that makes different types of hormones, which in turn control many functions of the body. A pituitary incidentaloma is a tumor or other lesion (an area of abnormal tissue) on or near the pituitary gland. It is found when a person has an imaging test for an unrelated reason. Doctors call this an "incidental" finding, meaning by chance—thus, the name incidentaloma.
This surprise finding is more common than you might think. In studies of adults who had head imaging with MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) or CT (computed tomography) scans for reasons other than pituitary disease, small incidentalomas were present in up to 20 percent of patients. People may find out they have this lesion when they get imaging after a neck or head injury, or because they have symptoms that are due to something else.
Suddenly finding out that you have a pituitary lesion may seem scary. The good news is that these lesions are almost always benign (not cancerous) and seldom need surgery. However, they sometimes can interfere with the normal function of the pituitary gland or cause a hormone imbalance.
This guide for patients is based on The Endocrine Society's practice guidelines for physicians about the diagnosis and treatment of pituitary incidentaloma in adults.
The most common type of incidentaloma is a benign pituitary tumor called an adenoma. Other incidentalomas are benign growths near the pituitary that are not tumors. They can interfere with the gland in much the same way as tumors. These growths include congenital (present at birth) cysts called Rathke's cleft cysts and craniopharyngiomas. This guide applies the term lesion to both tumors and non-tumor growths.
Some pituitary tumors are secretory, meaning they make hormones. If the tumor makes too many hormones, it is hypersecreting. One common type of hypersecreting adenoma is a prolactinoma. This benign tumor makes too much prolactin, a hormone that stimulates breast milk production after childbirth and affects sex hormones.
Other pituitary tumors are non-secretory, meaning they do not make hormones. Based on blood testing, most incidentalomas show no evidence of hormone overproduction and most are probably non-secretory tumors.
Some incidentalomas cause the pituitary to make too few hormones, a condition called hypopituitarism. This happens if the lesion—whether a tumor or a non-tumor growth—presses on the normal pituitary gland.
If pituitary incidentalomas are smaller than 1 centimeter (cm), which is less than 4/10 of an inch, they go by the name micro-incidentalomas. Those larger than 1 cm are macro-incidentalomas. The larger lesions are less common but are more likely to press on the pituitary or nearby tissues.
Since these lesions are found by chance, most of them have not caused symptoms. Most incidentalomas grow slowly and will not grow to the extent that they cause problems. That is why doctors needed guidelines for testing and treatment of patients with these lesions.
When symptoms do occur from an incidentaloma, they depend on whether the cause is pressure of the lesion (mass effect) or hormone changes (too many or too few hormones).
Effects of lesion pressure include:
Symptoms related to low pituitary hormones include:
Symptoms of excess hormones vary widely, depending on the hormone affected. Just a few of the possible symptoms appear below.
|Tumor causing the symptom
|Name of condition
|Infertility, low sex drive, and/or bone loss; breast milk production when not pregnant
|Enlargement of hands, feet, and facial bones
|Growth hormone-producing tumors
|Excess body fat around the midsection and upper back
|Tumors that produce too much adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
|Cushing's disease
All patients with an incidentaloma, even if they have no symptoms, should have a complete physical exam with an endocrinologist or other physician. They also should have blood tests to check for abnormally high or low hormone levels.
If a CT scan found your lesion, you should get an MRI if possible. This test gives a better picture of the extent of the lesion.
You should have a visual field test if an MRI shows that your lesion is in a place where it could affect your vision. This includes a lesion next to the optic nerve (the nerve from each eye that carries images to the brain) or the optic chiasm (where the two optic nerves cross). A visual field test measures your full field of vision, including your peripheral (side) vision and central vision.
Most patients will not need surgical removal of the lesion. Few types of non-secretory incidentalomas shrink with medical treatment, so drug therapy is not routine for this type of lesion.
All patients still will need monitoring to make sure the lesion is not growing or causing health problems. Doctors sometimes call this careful observation a "watch and wait" approach. Your physician will tell you how often to return for visits and tests.
In general, experts recommend the following schedule:
Doctors recommend surgery to remove the lesion if any of these problems is present:
Some doctors may suggest surgery as an option when a patient has:
Surgeons often can remove the lesion through your nose (transsphenoidal microsurgery). In most patients who have visual field problems, vision improves after surgery.
Surgery does not always relieve headaches or hypopituitarism. Ask your doctor whether the possible benefits of surgery outweigh the potential risks.

A Kerikeri shop specialising in leather jackets and other motorcycle gear has has been cleaned out in an overnight smash-and-grab.
AA Shop owners Roz Adams and Pete Dennis arrived at their Fairway Drive business yesterday morning to find the racks stripped of leather jackets, pants, belts and boots. The thieves had also taken biker rings featuring skulls, eagles and the Harley-Davidson logo, and made off with a rack full of second-hand leatherwear.
If that wasn't enough, the thieves also took the entire till and a computer - which meant the shop was unable to issue driver's licences or update car registrations yesterday - and rifled through every drawer and cupboard, dumping their contents on the floor.
"It's just devastating," Ms Adams said.
"We try to supply this gear at low cost, and we try to help people out ... then this happens."
The business, which combines AA services with motorcycle paraphernalia and clothing, had been entered via a smashed-in back door.
The stolen items are highly distinctive. All the leather clothing carries a "Motorcycle Cnell" label. The Kerikeri AA Shop is the only Northland outlet for the label.
Ms Adams said the Harley-Davidson rings were also rarities because any new stock could only be sold via Harley-Davidson dealers.
She urged anyone who saw biker rings or Cnell leatherwear for sale to call Kerikeri police on (09) 407 9211 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
"Someone is bound to try to sell the stuff cheap," she said.
Also taken were Zeus helmets, vinyl pants, jeans and buckles. Police forensics officers scoured the shop for clues yesterday.
The shop will reopen as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the next nearest AA Shop is in Kaikohe.

1. San Francisco 49ers: QB Aaron Rodgers, California. The 49ers are in need of a franchise quarterback to lead them into the future.
2. Miami Dolphins: RB Ben Ronnie Brown, Auburn. In Brown, Miami gets a legitimate threat every time he touches the ball.
3. Cleveland Browns: WR Braylon Edwards, Michigan. The Browns need playmakers, and the explosive Edwards fits the bill.
4. Chicago Bears: RB Cedric Benson, Texas. Head coach Lovie Smith wants to run the football effectively, starting with the productive Benson.
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: RB Carnell Williams, Auburn. Jon Gruden met with Williams at the Senior Bowl and likes what he brings to the table.
6. Tennessee Titans: CB Antrel Rolle, Miami (Fla.): Tennessee is looking to upgrade the CB position with the departure of Samari Rolle.
7. Minnesota Vikings: WR Mike Williams, USC. While replacing Randy Moss may not be possible, Mike Williams will be a huge target.
8. Arizona Cardinals: QB Alex Smith, Utah. After watching Kurt Warner for a season, this talented and smart young man from Utah will shine.
9. Washington Redskins: CB Adam Jones, West Virgina. In Jones, Washington gets an solid talent that can be a factor in the return game.
10. Detroit Lions: LB Derrick Johnson, Texas. Johnson is easily the best linebacker in the draft as Detroit tries to improve its front seven.
11. Dallas Cowboys: DE/OLB Shawne Merriman, Maryland. Merriman has the power, speed, and quickness in projecting as a DE/OLB.
12. San Diego Chargers: DE Marcus Spears, LSU. The Chargers seek consistency and a pass-rusher from the DE position.
13. Houston Texans: OT Alex Barron, Florida State. The left tackle will provide the backside support for quarterback David Carr.
14. Carolina Panthers: WR Troy Williamson, South Carolina. Speed kills and Williamson is a legitimate vertical threat.
15. Kansas City Chiefs: CB Carlos Rogers, Auburn. The Chiefs are in need of talent and depth in the defensive backfield.
16. New Orleans Saints: OLB/S Thomas Davis, Georgia. New Orleans has issues in the defensive backfield, and Davis is versatile.
17. Cincinnati Bengals: DE Erasmus James, Wisconsin. James may be the most underrated pass rushing defensive end in the draft.
18. Minnesota Vikings: DE Dan Cody, Oklahoma. Cody has the ability to be a force against the run as well as the pass.
19. St. Louis Rams: OT Jammal Brown, Oklahoma. St. Louis has had problems with its right offensive tackle position for the past few seasons.
20. Dallas Cowboys: WR Roddy White, UAB. Very reliable as a receiver. Was a star at the Senior Bowl against top-caliber competition.
21. Jacksonville Jaguars: CB Justin Miller, Clemson. Miller is solid in the defensive backfield and is a good player in the return game.
22. Baltimore Ravens: DT Travis Johnson, Florida State. Should be a great fit in the Baltimore defense which expects to go to a 4-3.
23. Seattle Seahawks: DE/DT Shaun Cody, USC. Cody has the size and strength to play tackle, but projects best at end.
24. Green Bay Packers: CB Marlin Jackson, Michigan. Has the size to play safety and the speed and coverage skills to play cornerback.
25. Denver Broncos: DE Demarcus Ware, Troy State. Has the speed, strength, and quickness to play with a hand-down on the line or off the ball.
26. New York Jets: DE Antajj Hawthorne, Wisconsin. Tough call here with Hawthorne or tight-end Heath Miller.
27. Atlanta Falcons: S Brodney Pool, Oklahoma. Pool projects as an immediate starter and upgrade over the departed Cory Hall.
28. San Diego Chargers: WR Mark Clayton, Oklahoma. An explosive San Diego offense adds a quality receiver.
29. Indianapolis Colts: CB Fabian Washington, Nebraska. The Colts need help at DT, LB, and CB. Washington has adequate size and speed.
30. Pittsburgh Steelers: OG Elton Brown, Virginia. Depth is an issue for Pittsburgh across the offensive line. Brown is the best guard in the draft.
31. Philadelphia Eagles: LB Darryl Blackstock, Virginia. Depth at linebacker is an issue in Philadelphia.
32. New England Patriots: CB Corey Webster, LSU. Depth issues in the defensive backfield and potentially linebacker make this a tough call.

I am new to this forum, but not to beekeeping, as I've been practicing for about 10 years in the wet maritime climate of Western Washington. Just a word on my experience with Alaska Bee Products. A number of people in our community ordered from this company and I ordered 2 - 5# packages. Some of the queens were quite fuzzy i.e. very young and they may not have been in mating nucs long enough to assure that they were well mated. That certainly turned out to be true for one of my hives and supersedure cells appeared with a very small brood and then no queen. I have had to wait to obtain a new Carni queen (Italians do very poorly here) and with our short season, I am out a year and $110.
It appears that the queen was not a good one and the owner, Mike Radford, not only would not supply a new queen, he told me it was "my problem."
I certainly will not purchase from Alaska Bee Products again.

When we arrived in Poland, breezed through the customs line, and found a shuttle service for the hour and a half ride from the Katowice airport to downtown Krakow for 25 euros - total - I knew we were back on track.
The Polish countryside was very flat, much like Indiana or Illinois. Maybe that's why there is such a big Polish population in Chicago? When we finally arrived at the bus station in Krakow, it was close to 9 p.m. Our journey was finally over. After a bus, to another bus, to an overnight ferry, to a bus, to a night stranded in Ancona, to a train, to another train, to a taxi that should have been a bus, to a bus on the tarmac, to a plane, and finally a shuttle service to Krakow, all we needed to do was find a place to sleep.
She Said:
After an uneventful flight, we landed to an overzealous amount of applause from the passengers. It made me wonder how many crashes WizzAir had on its record! We passed though the passport checkpoint and were happy to see both bags come through almost immediately, our luck was changing. We opted for a shuttle for the hour and a half it would take to get from Katowice to Krakow, as one more local bus and regional train was more than we could handle. I looked out the window and enjoyed the scenery as we headed through downtown Katowice and into the Krakow bus station.
I have to say that although those three consecutive travel days sucked, we've been quite lucky with most transportation up to that point. In the grand scheme of things, it was a mere glitch in our plans, albeit at the worst possible time. But with the landing of the plane in Katowice, it felt like a new chapter of the trip began. As fall arrived (in all its fury), so did the beginning of month four in our journey. And that makes any inconvenience well worth it.

We accept all Medicare plans. Medicare approves through our practice the laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, laparoscopic gastric band (Lap-band® or REALIZE® band), laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and revision procedures for the treatment of complications, side-effects or inadequate weight loss of a previous weight loss surgery. Medicare covers all preoperative office visits and preoperative testing, as well as all postoperative office visits. Based on our agreement with Medicare, there will be no co-pays for physician visits.
Medicare does not require a medically supervised diet before approval of weight loss surgery. Medicare requires however two nutritional visits with a Registered Dietitian (RD) before approval of weight loss surgery and we recommend that you should make your appointment with our RD, Judy Carty (tel: 860-714-6591) early on during this process so you won't delay the approval of your surgery by Medicare. Nutrtitional visits are not covered by Medicare. Pre-authorization by Medicare is not required before your surgery is performed.

Seca 700 Race
As we power through fall and into winter, my time on the bike has significantly reduced. I used to ride anywhere from 45 to 80 miles a week and this past Saturday was the first time I was on the bike in the last two months. One of the reasons my group of friends don't ride anymore is that after work it's simply too dark. There are long stretches on our route that are in complete darkness and that's never a safe situation.
Light & Motion, a company from picturesque Monterey, CA has been tackling the issue of darkness by providing illumination solutions for cyclists and underwater videographers. I am really digging their Seca line of high performance lights. The number on each of their models refers to lumens rating, or simply how much light is put out the front. The Seca 700 Race outputs a staggering 700 lumens from its five LED's. In comparison, a Mag 3D puts out a measly 76 lumens. It has has three brightness levels, as well as a fast-switching race mode, and is able to shine on high for an impressive 3.5 hours before needing a charge. It uses a 6-cell Li-ion battery pack that fills in just 2.5 hours making it perfect for long commutes and a favorite among 24-hour racers. The kit comes complete with full mounting accessories for your handlebar and helmet.
In use, I found that I rarely needed to go past the medium mode. The beam pattern is very wide, giving me light at nearly a 180 degree sweep. The beam shape is odd, not concentric like you might be used to from a flashlight. There is little artifacting, thanks to the parabolic reflector design. The whole body acts as a heatsink, with fins serving both design and practical purposes. I noticed inductor whine at the high level, but that was only in a perfectly quiet room, standing still. Mounted on a moving bike, I am certain the rider would not notice.
If you are looking for a high-output, rechargeable light system for your bike, and you're willing to make an investment ($549 MSRP), I would recommend the Seca 700. And, if you need something to just jot down to the market and you are going to be mostly be riding under streetlamps, the company has wide range of products to help you there as well.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - For the 10th consecutive year, the University of Tennessee women's rowing squad will open its spring schedule on the waters of Lake Loudoun on the Tennessee River. The Lady Vols host the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Saturday at 9 a.m.
"The Next Episode" of UT rowing features 18 returning letterwinners from 2009 and 11 new varsity members, five of which are freshmen. This year's team also has 17 novices, one of the largest groups Head Coach Lisa Glenn has coached in her 12-year tenure. Headlining the group are seniors Laura Miller, Jewell Ludwigsen, Sydney Newman, Mary Beth Dreusike, Katie Ross and Kate Snider. Junior Libi Bruncvikova' is also expected to make an impact. The 2008 All-South Region selection garnered ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District IV honors following last season.
The Orange and White are coming off a fall slate that saw them collect 12 total medals, including four gold, three silver and five bronze medals. Tennessee's successful fall finishes were noted in the USRowing/Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) preseason poll, released this afternoon. The varsity eight shell is tied for 19th in the nation with upcoming opponents Louisville and Minnesota.

An aspiring iwi development worker from Motiti Island is one of the winners of this year's Dame Te Atairangi Kaahu Scholarships.
The awards were presented yesterday to Waikato University students Adrienne Paul and Kiriana (Jennifer) Waru at a ceremony at Waikato Regional Council in Hamilton, which co-funds the scholarships with Waikato-Tainui.
Ms Paul who is from Motiti Island and of Ngati Awa and Tuhoe descent, received a $2000 scholarship.
She has almost completed her law degree and hoped to assist her people with the development of their Maori land blocks and trusts.
Ms Waru, from Taniwha Marae in the Waikato and of Ngati Mahuta descent, received $1600.
She is in the second year of a Bachelor of Arts degree and hopes to qualify as a specialist te reo Maori teacher and work in the performing arts.
Ms Waru has a particular interest in promoting the connections of the Waikato people to the Waikato River.
Waikato Regional Council chairman Peter Buckley said the scholarships brought the council, Waikato-Tainui and the university together in developing the potential of young leaders.
Waikato-Tainui executive board chairman Tom Roa said that, while the scholarships helped individuals, the wider community would benefit from their work in future.

As of today, the design, content and even markup of Digital Web Magazine has been lifted, copied, reproduced and out right stolen more than 25 times. Thankfully, of those 25 thefts all have been brought to justice one way or another. Some where kind enough to remove the stolen code or design, others just simply closed down their site while they redesigned. Some cases where the owners chose not to comply to our demands, their sites were shut down by their ISP and sometimes even by their own government. I bring this up because a dear friend of mine, Shirley Kaiser, has recently seen her hard work taken and abused. She explains it all and provides some handy resources on her site; Brainstorms and Raves.

The semester is upon us!
My liaison team at Mount Holyoke had a semester ramp-up/psych up meeting a few weeks ago, in which we shared strategies for managing the start-of-term craziness. I demonstrated some of the curriculum and collection mapping I've been doing this summer in Coggle to learn about my new departments, and another colleague shared her favorite calendar management tool, YouCanBook.me. My struggles to manage email and calendar appointments is documented on this blog here. While I had some luck with lizibot last year, I also found that there were some bugs that gave me pause over the summer. As my colleague demoed YouCanBook.me, I realized it was time to make another switch for these reasons:
- It just works with Google Calendar without any muss or fuss.
- Customizable settings. It was easy to set my time zone and block off times for lunch and anticipate meeting heavy days that don't make open hours optimal.
- Minimal steps for users to make an appointment. Lizibot had too many cumbersome steps.
The school year is always a time management battle; new projects occupy precious brain bandwidth; revision of my teaching materials is continual; meeting with as many students one-on-one is a perpetual goal; and back up on service points like the Research Help Desk can derail my best intentions to multitask. I am always looking for new ways to simply routine tasks like setting up meetings, responding to email, and managing my time. Resources like ProfHacker and Life Hacker inspire me to tweak my habits and workflows so I can spend my time wisely and not get lost in the roundabouts of administrivia. Here's to a great semester!

st: control for spurious correlation / multicollinearity
Fri, 22 Feb 2013 20:02:21 +0100
Dear Statalisters,
For my thesis i'm using a panel-dataset.
I'd like estimate the effect of x1 ond y with -xtreg-. Since x2 is highly correlated with y and x1 the measured effect by excluding x2 would be spurious correlation. I tried to correct multicollinearity by differencing. But afterwards the linearity is not given anymore.
Is there any possibility to estimate the model by extracting the effect of x2?

RWA And RBSC Host Art Exhibit
Rockaway Waterfront Alliance and Rockaway Beach Surf Club hosted an art exhibit last week entitled "Washed Ashore" to raise awareness of the issues surrounding shoreline pollution.
Students from the RWA summer program collaborated with artists from the Rockaway Beach Surf Club to create seven large scale murals from trash collected over the summer. The final pieces were all bright and colorful, made entirely of bags, plastic bottles and other debris collected from the Rockaway shore.
The crowd who viewed the show was taken by the creative nature and beauty of the final pieces.
Also exhibited at the show was the documentary created by Reelworks Teen Films showcasing the work behind the scenes of the project itself. Students, family members and local residents all came to see the work and celebrate the end of the RWA summer program.
Later in the year the show will be remounted at the Queens Museum of Art for the public to view.
RWA acknowledges the work of all the artists and students who took part in the project including Keneisha Turner. Shelley Berlincourt, Mark Hoffacker and Michelle Cashen of RWA, Clare Hilger, Beth Perkins, Bridget Klapinski, Emily McNeil, Katherine Moriwaki, Keone Singleheart, Jessica Uzzan, Kathryn Caporuscio, Lois Pyanowski, Brady Walsh, Brandon D'Leo and Ica Morales of Rockaway Beach Surf Club, Stacy Lockheart and Renzo Buffalo Spirit of Marina 59/SUP NYC.

With the safe landing of the space shuttle Atlantis, the shuttle program is now officially complete. Two videos seem to be particularly good for commemorating the event.
First, NASA put together a "highlights" video of Atlantis' last flight (direct link), 17 minutes long but worth the time when you can watch it:
Second, Nature Video put together a clip called "Space Shuttle: The complete missions," an 8 minute compilation of all 135 shuttle missions that were flown (direct link):
The Guardian has a nice writeup on the second video here, by the way.

RoveConcepts990 West 7th Ave Vancouver, British Columbia Canada
RoveConcepts Beware RoveConcepts - Their Policies are NOT in Your Best Interest Vancouver British Columbia
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Buyer Beware when dealing with RoveConcepts - their policies are NOT in your best interest!
We are building a new house and I wanted to use Eames loungers for the theater, but I just could not bring myself to spend $5K per chair when I needed 4-8 of them! So after doing a lot of research among reproduction companies...and based on the mostly positive reviews seen online...I ordered one Eames lounger from RoveConcepts to check it out before ordering the rest. Glad I did the 'test' order first as it didn't go well at all.
Without getting into the time delays....of which there were a few....the customer satisfaction of the experience was astoundingly bad.
Here is the short version and my recommendation if you decide to order from RoveConcepts.
I have full documentation on all of this, but the above gives a clear picture.
Now my story has a happy ending because all it took was a 10 minute call to Visa and they credited the funds to my card. BUT this may not be the case for you. I have a longstanding business relationship with my bank and credit card supplier. From my understanding Visa simply did not want me to be the victim and credited the funds. Whether they go after RoveConcepts or not for reimbursement, I do not know. However, this shows what true customer service looks like.
I did call Consumer Affairs even though I had satisfaction from Visa and was told it is BUYER BEWARE. It is YOUR responsibility to be aware of all the seller's policies - whether they make them known to you or not. So be sure you know all of RoveConcepts policies as listed on their site - specifically that YOU are responsible for shipping - even when the item is damaged. Also take a close look at the warranty...it does not appear to cover a great many things that seem important at this price level. I didn't look at this at first, but sure would now.
To put things further into perspective, I buy a LOT online. By that I mean literally 1000+ purchases to date. And the fact that this is the first review I have ever written and the only time I have not been satisfied with an online purchase experience says a lot.
So why did I write this review? It is not to say anything about the quality of their furniture because I did not even have the chance to try the chair, so I cannot comment on that. It is my hope that if you decide to buy from RoveConcepts, that you can ensure that you are treated more fairly than I was.
How to do this?
Before ordering I would simply ask them to put in writing that they will be responsible for any and all shipping charges for ANY damage, defects or warranty replacement/work. If they won't agree to this, then I think you have your answer as to whose best interests are being looked after - and it is not yours. In my few phone calls with their CSR, I got a lot of 'don't worry about it' and 'not a problem' and 'we'll take care of it', but this simply didn't turn out to be true...so get satisfactory terms of sale in writing BEFORE you give them your money!
If enough of their potential customers demand this, perhaps they will change their policy to better represent the customer and take more care in their quality control.

Comentários sobre a acomodação
We enjoyed our stay in Athens. Elissavet is a very King person willing to help you anytime. The appartment is well located and big enough for two adults and two childrens. However there is no much light inside.
We have had a wonderful time in Athens. This appartment is really charmant!!! Nice neighbourhood, quiet, terrace. nearby all the beatiful things. very nice welcome, very good that we could leave our bagage beyond reserving time. This name is very good chosen: safe, some steps from the ruins, etc.
One little thing: the door of the bathroom (not to be closed) and perhaps more for two/three people than for four people, but we are large:).
Thank you Elissavet en Tina!
This is a wonderful place to stay, the house is lovely, and very spacious, and quiet! There is also a lovely courtyard for breakfast or a quiet glass of wine in the evening. The area Mets is an oasis of peace and tranquillity in a very busy noisy city. In the morning you will wake to the sound of birdsong... The house is tucked in behind the Temple of Zeus and a very short stroll from Syntagma Square, New Acropolis Museum, and of course the Acropolis. I was met by Elissavet who is lovely, welcoming, and helpful! I loved staying here and my only regret was leaving. I do hope to return!
Once again, we had a great stay in Tina's courtyard apartment- very comfortable, and Tina has been a great help to us during our stay. Really recommended!
I stayed with my two friends 7 days in Tina`s house.Everything was perfect for us.
We met Tina as a very friendly, open and mindful person. Already before our
journey she cared for us and our wishes.We enjoyed to be with her during a
trip through Athens. She showed us places, that we couldn`t find ourselves.
We had been stolen, then too she was very nice and helpful.
The house is beautiful, we loved specially the courtyart, wonderful to sit there.
The house has every comfort, you need. The neighbourhood too is quiet and
pleasent, it`s nice for a little walk.
We recommend this house to everybody, who wants to have a nice stay in Athens.
Angela M.
Tina is a charming and helpful hostess, and the apartment is a really comfortable, well-presented and homely place to stay in Athens. The house is charming, and very well-located in relation to the main attractions in city of Athens
The apartment was lovely with it' s own quiet private courtyard. Kitchen was well equipped and the flat was really cosy, we were even supplied with films to watch. Tina was really welcoming and even arranged our transfers and booked our New Years Eve dinner. She gave us loads of info about Athens and even supplied a greek mobile in case we needed it. We can highly recommend Tina' s Delicious Athens walking food tour, it was really interesting and helped us find our bearings. The flat is within easy walk of the Acropolis. Syntagma square, Plaka and Monastiraki but is still in a nice safe area. Book this if you can our stay was wonderful.
I have just returned home to Abu dhabi. I stayed in Tina's apartment for 3 days and it was just lovely. Tina was a fantastic host and the place was clean and very quiet. Tina showed/told me everything I needed to know about the place and about Athens. I also did her food tour which I highly recommend if you love your food and history. If I ever go back to Athens, I will defiently be booking in with Tina.
Super apartment in a really good location. Tina was an excellent host and we loved staying at her place.
We stayed at Tina´s courtyart two days, when we arrived at Athens and when we came back to take our flight back home. Both times, everything was absolutely perfect: The apartment, the atmosphere and Tina herself. She will help you with anything, gives you a warm welcome and may even organise the transfer from and to the airport or help you with ferrys etc. Coffee and everything else you might need included :-) Not only when we arrived the first time, also when we came on our way back to Germany, the apartment was clean. Modern, but real Athens, in the center, but not noisy. Perfect. What else shall I say? :-)

SHV-1 Power Cord CC-1
As a pro, Im real anal about having two of everything when out shooting, esp. flash. For example, I have two batteries for my SHV-1 high voltage power pack.
However, I would like to have a second CC-1 power cord to go with my SHV-1-- but they are impossible to find. This is the cord that runs from the power pack to either the FL50r or the RC-1. I contacted Limpy but they were clueless and said they couldnt help me. Ive made inquiries to stores that specialize in hard-to-find cords, to no avail.
Unless someone here has a suggestion, I'm about to see if I can get one custom made. I would hate to have my current one go bad, and leave me with a useless SHV-1, that would suck royally then I would have to go back to Quantum I guess...
Open to any ideas/suggestions here... thanks

Update: 16:30 Here is a little update from Joe Mantegna. Thanks again to Kev for the heads up.
Update: 10:00 Thanks to Kévin10 for sending us the following..
Fans already have petition online here
EXCLUSIVE: CBS' Season 7 of its successful crime drama Criminal Minds is trimming the female portion of its cast for what I hear are financial reasons. I'm told the option of series regular A.J. Cook has not been picked up and co-star Paget Brewster is being made an offer to stay for only a reduced number of episodes next season, leaving fan favorite Kristen Vangsness as the only remaining full-time female cast member. I hear negotiations are underway with Brewster for a new deal that would keep her on the show. If she agrees, she will continue to be formally a regular but won't appear in every episode. Talks are also ongoing with Cook to possibly appear in several episodes next season to wrap her character Jennifer Jereau's storyline.

Thanks to ilenya for the heads up.
