Feminism and Position Envy
In Arena Magazine no. 1, feminist philosopher Marion Tapper criticized a feminist tendency to "ressentiment", hanging on to old grudges and self-definitions as victims, refusing to accept that desired reforms have taken place. In universities at least, Tapper proposed, feminists do exercise power in the form of moral censorship, determining limits to what is and is not sayable. Yet attainment of this moral legitimacy means that the tactics in what Joanna Russ called "the suppression of women's writing" have been partly superseded by what I am calling "the subsumption of feminism", efforts to contain and minimize the damage feminism might wreak on male-centred norms, especially in the academy. Feminist moral authority acts as a censoring super- ego, forcing resistance into devious and ambivalent forms. No longer sayable in policy, anti-feminism is marginalized, like the unconscious, into unofficial or disguised expressions - for example, what's said when feminists aren't in the room. What looks like feminist "ressentiment" may well be a response to covert and subtle forms of anti- feminism.
The subsumption of feminism relies partly on conventional tactics in the suppression of women's writing. As Russ notes, active bigotry is both rare and unnecessary in the "high culture" of academe, where sexism and racism can be maintained simply by acting "in the customary, ordinary, usual, even polite manner". This tactic simply comprises the unthinking conduct of business as usual for good-humoured, polite, and usually non-macho men like those who suggest to their university's governing body that "wives of academics" be employed as translators, or who schedule research seminars between the close of day care and the evening meal. Then there are the old standbys of tokenism and ghettoization: timetabling the feminist topics so near the end of term that they exert negligible influence on students' overall approach to the subject; assuming that what men do is of "universal interest" while women do "women's business", that men do "philosophy" while women do "applied philosophy", and so on.
The entrenched tradition of not acknowledging women authors continues, sometimes in combination with token recognition of a single woman author. Many academics and journalists - including, regrettably, some women - tend simply to refer to "feminists" without citing them by name. Perhaps they are only pretending to know about feminism. Perhaps feminist works are read but simply not cited. Or perhaps their knowledge comes from sources not considered citable within established masculine academic conventions: arguments with friends, lovers, wives, ex-wives; conversations with feminist colleagues, or from marking feminist students' writings - this last a convenient way to absorb feminism from the position of "one who is supposed to know". Non-specific references to "feminists" can go hand in hand with the subsuming attitude "We've heard it all before!", indicating a refusal to acknowledge the difference between merely registering that a feminist voice is nagging, and actually listening and responding to its specific claims, or even finding out about differences between feminisms.
Guy Rundle's editorial in Arena Magazine no. 1 exhibits some of these problems. It subsumes feminism in a list of "socialists, feminists, anarchists, environmentalists, and others" who are criticized for their superficial responses to "contemporary developments", whose attempts at coalition building are proclaimed as "doomed to failure" and who, supposedly, have not recognized that "underlying social conditions have radically changed" since the formulation of "dominant left analyses". Yet the second half of the editorial describes "the world of the cyborg" using ideas, analyses and terminology whose sources are not mentioned, but includes one immediately recognizable to readers of Donna Haraway, whose "Cyborg Manifesto" is a socialist-feminist account of identity in the information age, aimed at reformulating a leftist political agenda based on recognition of fundamental changes in the character of knowledge, work and subjectivity in postmodern cultures. The habit of suppressing or subsuming feminist work overrides the demand for conceptual and analytic coherence. Rundle covertly relies on the contributions of the very "socialists, feminists ... and others" he had ostensibly rejected.
The male academics who "privately" try to dissuade the wife of one from continuing a joint feminist research project, or the research group which meets off campus, accepting the drinks and childcare provided by a student wife but rejecting as "outrageous" her request for part of the consultancy fees: these men are self-interestedly maintaining the split between public and private while resisting or undermining feminist influence. It's much easier to accept the theory that structures of oppression and privilege permeate throughout the social body, including sites like the home and pub, than to apply it to one's own behaviour.
Men's refusal to engage personally with feminist analyses of sexual politics can be excused via a non-traditonal source: anti-humanism, based on the critique of falsely universal, psychologistic accounts of human subjectivity, and in favour of strong social constructionist accounts. The private is thought of as the realm of the intimate, the subjective, and the experiential - things women may value, but which anti- humanism derides. Anti-humanism justifies methodological critiques of feminism as merely "experiential", and can also be mobilized in dismissing caring styles of learning, teaching, and management: "She's a popular supervisor, especially with women, but that's just because she does all that touchy-feely therapy stuff". Yet feminist teachers who do the work of female ego-support recognize that women's seemingly "excessive" need for reassurance is not a problem of individual psychology but a legacy of centuries of female exclusion from higher education and leadership. We need not just equal opportunity, but also extra encouragement, to overcome that legacy.
The noli contendere defence is an increasingly common resistance to feminism. In the apparent opposite of subsumption, feminism is put on a pedestal, relegated to that safely distanced plateau known as "the high moral ground". Feminist statements about theory, method, and politics are recoded as incontestable "moral" claims and ruled outside the bounds of the more "secular" and pragmatic business of rational debate. Thus men can avoid openly contesting feminist claims and defer examination of the moral, emotional, and political commitments implicit in their own supposedly "impartial","objective" positions.
The noli contendere defence fits in with the tried and true ruse of exnomination, Roland Barthes' term for the failure to name one's own class or political position. Feminist ethnographer Bette Kaufman has recently taken postmodern ethnographers to task for this. She asks: "How does one argue with a text that resorts continuously to "just my (partial, biased) point of view" but does not account for the local politics of that point of view?" The ethnographer Rabinow, for example, categorizes feminists as "political subjects" but positions himself beyond local politics as the occupant of a "worldwide macrointerdependency". Not just in ethnography, but also in communcation and cultural studies, it is quite possible for white male theorists to preach "specificity" and "locatedness" from the very panoptic, pseudoQuniversal position their theories have supposedly deconstructed.
This same ruse works hand-in-glove with another new and invidious class of tactics in the subsumption of feminism: announcing the "post-political". The male academics who criticize feminism as pass in their comments on student essays which have drawn on feminist work, or the editor who claims that new social movements are already an "exhausted force" and takes for granted "the inevitable failure of the grandiose demands for liberation" of the 1960s (Rundle, Arena Magazine no. 3) are attempting to subsume feminism into the past, as something over and done with. They demonstrate profound ignorance of the character of feminist struggle, specifically, its multi-level strategies and its long-range view.
A related post-political move is to ignore feminist contributions to the theory and critique of postmodernism that affirm utopian thought, political commitment, and social responsibility. Instead, the white, male, often French writers who proclaim the end of liberationist meta- narratives, the outmodedness of political commitment, the collapse of "critical distance" are taken as authorities; local political histories are ignored. Or, as in Rundle's first Arena Magazine editorial, feminist alternative visions may be invoked without being cited.
In a variant tactic, the abandonment of feminist and leftist ideals is excused by malaise over the fall of European communism P an entirely unconvincing claim when made by Australian (ex-) leftist men, who, as historian Jill Matthews pointed out to me, were never famous for extolling the Soviet Union as the model socialist society.
It is particularly irksome that these post-political and exnominating tactics are frequently deployed by people ostensibly committed to theories which propound the impossibility of any single voice or standpoint having a privileged purchase on the truth of culture or history. Overt allegiance to such theories does not seem to prevent the "post-political white boys" (PPWBs) from smugly assuming their version of post-1960s social movement history is correct and incontestable, ignoring the quite different political realities experienced by the many feminists, indigenous people and environmental activists who have not abandoned hope of liberation from oppression and who are urgently working for a more habitable world.
What gives impetus to the subsumption of feminism? The traditional motives of misogyny, masculine supremacism, and fear and defensive trivialization of female collectivities of any kind persist, but newer motivations are at work amongst those who do not want to appear as the enemies of feminism.
For men of the Left, following careers in bureaucratic or academic institutions often means abandoning revolutionary commitments and settling into the niche prepared by scholarly father figures and old boys' networks. However, for women and other previously excluded groups (for example, Aboriginal people), entry into such institutions is not an abandonment but a continuation of political struggle as minorities within a white, androcentric work culture.
I hypothesize that post-political and exnominating tactics are often deployed from a very particular historical position: that of New Left men who believe "the Left" ended when they became politically inactive and/or institutionalized. Detached from social movements that evolved through the 1970s and '80s, they may downplay the historical and theoretical continuities between "the Left" and feminism (or environmentalism). This allows feminism to appear as something "other" to post-leftist men, something to be "taken account of" from some unnamed pseudoQuniversal perspective that neatly confines feminism within a list of pass "isms".
According to early psychoanalysts Mary Chadwick and Melanie Klein, there is a relationship between the masculine search for knowledge, the disparagement of women's intellect, and fertility fantasies. Boys initially identify with their mothers, and are disappointed to discover their lack of maternal reproductive organs, which they envy. This "womb- envy" is disavowed in identification with the phallic father, and sublimated into cultural productions and processes of discovery from which women are excluded, where men imagine themselves as generative parents giving birth to brainchildren and new bodies of knowledge.
Now that significant numbers of women have achieved tertiary education, it is less a question of denied organ envy than guilt-laden position envy. Aside from envy of jobs for women where affirmative action policies are in place, I also suspect envy of feminist political and moral positions. Those who consign feminism to the "high moral ground" or proclaim it finished may at another level be jealous. Feminists possess something post-leftist men want, but which their own solipsistic and defeatist theoretical narratives say is no longer fashionable or necessary to want, namely, a vital political and personal commitment to a community of affines in long-term struggle.
In both womb-envy and position-envy, masculine lack is recognized then disavowed in an ambivalent defensive strategy. On the one hand, what women possess is given excessive definitional importance: if women have fertility, define them as mothers and control them through the patriarchal family. Likewise, if feminists have moral legitimacy, define them as moralists and subsume them in a list of "isms". On the other hand, the desired feminine possession is disparaged, then covertly appropriated for the masculine side. Just as man's mental fertility was valued over the merely biological feats of motherhood, so the post- political masculine voice claims something superior to mere moral legitimacy: it occupies an even higher plane from whence it proclaims its particular experiences universal and incontestable truths (for example, "liberation narratives are pass"). Adrift from their own political origins, the PPWBs have ascended into an ethical and political "nozone" where they drift as free ex-radicals, ready to bond and stabilize at any theoretical sites that can excuse their lack of committed position, or offer a passage back into the comfortable tradition of exnominated and god-like authority.
How can genuine dialogue be renewed between male cultural critics and their feminist colleagues?
Male thinkers and writers may feel victims of feminist "bloody-mindedness", finding themselves criticized for not reading feminist works, and criticized when they do for getting it wrong. Admittedly, many feminists have been stingy with encouragement for men who attempt to engage with feminism. But many well-meaning men have made the mistake of approaching feminism like any other field of knowledge: a topic to "get on top of" and subsume in an efficient list of "isms" of which one claims knowledge. They can't understand why feminists aren't satisfied by their efforts.
Underlying the apparent bloody-mindedness is a demand for a different approach to acquiring knowledges, one reliant on negotiation rather than mastery. For feminism is not a terrain to be conquered or a position to adopt, but a process to which one commits oneself: shuttling between norms which are constitutive of one's very social "identity", and the emergent, utopian, and not always fully articulated spaces of feminist theory and cultural practice. Accommodations to, subsumptions of and pretences at mastery over feminism may well signify stoppages in this process of negotiating knowledge; open refutation might be a healthier sign. In her essay "Situated Knowledges", Donna Haraway outlines a model of knowledge not based on the "god-trick" of a self-identical subject claiming to oversee everywhere at once, but on negotiation between the multiple and partial subjects/objects of knowledge. This view of knowledge is associated with a politics of affinities and alliances forged across partial identifications.
The positionless subject remains committed to a model of objectivity as an overseeing mastery - even where its theories proclaim the contrary. It cannot negotiate affinities and alliances because it can't or won't recognize the partiality of its own identity and knowledges, nor admit dependence upon subjugated knowledges. The situated white male academic subject would have to negotiate the conflicts, dis-affinities, and potential alliances between those parts of his self that are committed to leftist and feminist goals and visions, and those which accord with traditional academic norms and privileges - one of those "personal", "psychological" tasks whose avoidance is readily justified by anti-humanism, not to mention "political correctness" panic.
Clear-sighted evaluation of one's gender, race, or class privileges ought not induce guilt-laden analysis, permanent moral impotence, or the utter renunciation of privilege. Rather, it can facilitate commitment to making morally responsible use of one's privileges and partial knowledges in alliance with other knowing subjects. Without commitment to this risky, painful, but ultimately empowering process of negotiation, the positionless subsumers of feminism will continue reviving the very tradition of authoritative mastery that their own theories proclaim is no longer credible, and so reproduce the conditions that give rise to their troubling "position-envy".

Carla and Israel (the sequel/part 3)Mature
Between her open legs he felt himself still in face of all the hunger and passion this small women,his wife held in his heart.Her love was everything and so much more,from dawn to dusk,they were trully one.
"Isra." Her pet name for him never cease to cause him to smile,from day one Carla reffuse to acknowledge his stature and height in her world! Where she was concern from the moment their eyes crossed in the middle of the full room in the office he was hers and soon everyone also knew this as a fact.He stop fighting his loosing batle with the small women when he realised that being right all the time was less important than making her smile. And she had this big laughter that filled a room and brighten all around her as an energy power station,his wife was well loved by all who knew her,himself included but he knew she was hiding something,most likely something he would find later on,now her white thights slightly open embraced his own and her raising chest drew his attention once again and his fond memories grew back into space for later inquiring !
"Yes,beloved ?" A kiss was given on her exposed breast and the shivers that runned trough her skin fully aroused his.
"Isra,i have something to tell you." Another kiss is disposed on her skin,so fair and so smoothe he recalled buying her favourite body fragrance for her birthday last xmas and how applying had proved very interesting as the present itself ! He heard her and the slight tremor on the voice was not one of passion,he stilled yet again,passion refrained when he focus on her lovely face.
"What ? Something serious ? " He felt her regaining strenght over the passion that moments before had distracted they both.
"Yes and no,not really,not immediatly !"
His patience was quite high where others where concern,why for the life of him his wife seemed the only capable of creating such a devastating fear to his heart still cause him some growing fondness that he masquered by smiling into her green eyes.
"Tell me."
" How do you feel about being not just the two of us any more ?"
Slowly the facts added up in his brain and his look was centered not in the face but in her midrift section. " A baby ? We are pregnant ? "
Shock and hew registered in his face and all his joy for the unborned child showed in the way his hand slowly rested in her flat stomach.
"Yes,our baby in 8 months time."
He rested his arms in each side of her framed body keeping her locked in his own frame." I feel bloody happy,that is how I feel,and fertile."
Her huge laughter ecoed in the room until their lips once again united,and for now the expecting parents put the aspects of procreation yet again to test !

Ground breaking therapies, advances in technology, and increased access to data by patients are keys.
The number of new drugs approved for sale in United States and Europe has bounced back this year [so far], suggesting a marked slowdown in 2016 was an aberration rather than a sign of flagging research and development productivity.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has already cleared 21 new prescription medicines for sale against 22 in the whole of 2016 (read "New Drugs Approved by FDA in 2016 is Half the Number Approved in 2015"; http://sco.lt/55JaUb), and just nine at this stage last year.
The European Medicines Agency has recommended 42 compared with a 2016 total of 81, and 31 in the first five months of last year. Unlike the FDA, the EMA includes generic or non-patented drugs in its list.
John LaMattina, a former research head for Pfizer and a board member at PureTech Health, is unsurprised by the rebound and believes concerns raised at the end of 2016 about deteriorating drug pipelines were "far too dire".
Hilary Thomas, chief medical adviser at KPMG, said U.S. regulators in particular were showing an innovative approach that was helping to accelerate approvals - as highlighted by a novel decision to clear a cancer drug for the first time based on genetics, not tumor location.
Still, the targeted nature of many new medicines will limit the overall patient population getting the latest wave of novel drugs.
"What the data masks is that while there might be more approvals, the total number of people getting new drugs is probably not going to up hugely because these are more specific, personalized treatments," she said.
How Programmatic Benefits Healthcare
Incorporating programmatic advertising can benefit the healthcare industry in a number of ways. The first and most obvious benefit is that patients and potential consumers receive focused ads. Patients won't be bombarded with advertisements for services and products that are irrelevant to them, and providers can ensure that they are advertising only to the patients who will be interested in what they have to offer. Thus, programmatic can save both parties time and money.
Programmatic data is collected based on how consumers and demographics best receive information. Some are receptive to articles or direct links to a product page while others prefer content such as videos or downloadable educational materials. Targeted advertising can provide relevant content across all of these channels.
Perhaps one of the greatest advantages is the potential for social media to create significant marketing opportunities. Even many who are not technologically savvy have Facebook. This provides opportunities for healthcare products and services to use page advertisements and articles of potential interest.
What is Advertised and Who Benefits?
There are a wide variety of services and products that can be promoted using programmatic. Individual practitioners, medical centers, and hospitals can use it to make customers aware of their services and encourage them to participate in awareness campaigns. For instance, a consumer who previously searched for a pain management practitioner might see a social media advertisement for a local provider.
Health insurance companies can use targeted advertising to promote their services and offer customers coverage. A consumer interested in generalized health might be alerted to free health screenings or events in his current town. Manufacturers of consumer products generally used for preventative or focused care, such as walkers or bathtub lifts, can use it to promote these products with consumers who are most likely to use them. A patient in need of mental health services might receive alerts for practitioners.
Privacy guidelines are more strict in healthcare than in other industries which is a big reason the industry is one of the last to jump on board. Restrictions are placed on what can be advertised. For instance, consumers are not to be targeted for specific medications or known conditions. If a patient searches for information regarding a particular mental health concern, such as PTSD, he cannot be targeted with advertising for that condition.
Healthcare providers can benefit from programmatic to gain information concerning effective medications, treatment plans, and certifications. For instance, if a provider is due for PALS recertification, focused advertising based on automated electronic knowledge of search history and other online activity can alert him about available courses and times.
How Programmatic Can Be Used
It is true that some consumers are not happy with the concept of "smart" digital advertising as they feel it is a breach of privacy. However, the benefits seem to silence the naysayers. The obvious concerns about privacy can be laid to rest with one simple adjustment: allowing the patient to opt-in. For instance, it is difficult for a hospital to provide focused advertising without violating privacy laws. However, if the patient consents and opts into information from that entity, then focused advertising will be permitted. For this reason, it is almost unreasonable for health care centers, providers, and hospitals to not utilize programmatic advertising.
Basically, the concept for programmatic advertising remains the same whether it is being used in healthcare or other industries. In order for it to be effective, the right information has to reach the right people at the right time. Automated research and a basic knowledge of the target audience will ensure that advertising time and space is not wasted.
Programmatic must be utilized as a part of a whole marketing campaign. While it can be especially beneficial, it should not be the only marketing focus. A properly researched and implemented strategy will effectively utilize targeted digital marketing and ensure the highest opportunity for success.

The absence of pharma brands on social media creates a significant void of reputable healthcare information to aid patients, writes Dawn Lacallade, LiveWorld.
Social media permeates virtually every aspect of a person's digital life. Patients are using social media as a major source of information and an integral part of their healthcare research journey. It is therefore imperative that pharma companies be present on social media to provide full and balanced information to consumers.
When patients begin having symptoms, they will often begin a digital research journey, which includes searching social channels. Their initial discoveries often occur before or in parallel with a healthcare professional (HCP) visit. The subsequent HCP diagnosis then triggers a second wave of research. Newly-diagnosed patients go online to seek more information about their conditions from both credible sources, and from people like themselves — this patient's emotional story can attest to the healing power of social support.
Over the past 20 years, social media has played a significantly larger role in healthcare research and support. It is especially helpful for patients with chronic, recurrent disorders, such as psoriasis or arthritis. If patients continually vent their frustrations about their disorder to friends and family, they tend to fatigue their personal support system, which is why social media groups become a key source of patient support.
A patient's journey on social media to research and understand the afflictions, as well as connect to other patients.
As patients share their stories, they become a significant source of information to those actively seeking their perspective. But at times this information can be incorrect, unbalanced, and even irrelevant to someone whose condition is even just slightly different. While their symptoms may appear consistent, it's often difficult for an untrained patient to have a clear understanding of what is on-label and accurate for their particular condition.
With current FDA guidance, pharma companies aren't able to easily join the conversation to provide accurate, balanced information. Regulations mandate that, within a single social post, brands must provide accurate details on the benefits and risks associated with conditions and products. Given the character limits associated with many social communication channels, most pharma companies stay out of the conversation entirely. This means that when patients take to social media, the information they find may not necessarily be from reputable, accredited sources. It may be marginally inaccurate at best, significantly harmful at worst.
To illustrate the magnitude of unregulated misinformation in social channels, I was part of a recent review of comments on the drug Cialis on Twitter. We found that a full 49% of mentions were from illegal pharmacies that often include only benefit information, or incorrect information in their tweets. An additional 8% of comments were from individuals talking about Cialis and the benefits with no balance. This second group was highly concerning, because of the high instance of off-label or unlabeled secondary benefits they may have incorrectly attributed to Cialis. In addition, 11% of tweets were about negative perceptions that ranged from actual adverse events (2%) to negative effects of long-term use. In all, only 2% of the information about Cialis on Twitter was credible. (Note: 15% of the comments were not applicable.)
It is more important than ever to add to the sources of credible, high-quality information on health conditions, their treatments, and drugs available. It's crucial for pharma companies to provide balanced and credible information on social media, so they can take part in the patients' digital research journey.

The aim of the study is to help marketers refocus their digital efforts on what works and plan more effective multichannel campaigns.
Lead analyst Kelly Pinola comments, "Pharma needs to dial down the promotional messaging and lead with valuable educational resources in order to regain physician trust.

Primary Way in Which Their Company Defines Digital According to Business and IT Executives Worldwide, Nov 2016 (% of respondents)
Technology is the means to transformation, not an end in itself. Instead the focus should be on setting a clear goal for the future, then setting a strategy based on that vision.
According to eMarketer's latest report, "Digital Transformation 2017: Disrupting 'Business as Usual,'" most executives believe that digital transformation is necessary, although it is not always obvious what digital transformation is—or how to approach it.
In fact, many executives can't even agree on their company's definition of digital. "If you put 20 [executives] in a room and ask them to define 'digital,' you are guaranteed to get 20 different answers," said Anand Eswaran, corporate vice president of Microsoft Services and Microsoft Digital.
29% of respondents said digital is synonymous with the work of IT, 14% believe digital is about customer-facing technology activities and another 14% said digital refers to all investments the company makes to integrate technology across the business. The only thing clear from this survey is that there is no consensus.

Lead analyst Kelly Pinola comments, "Pharma needs to dial down the promotional messaging and lead with valuable educational resources in order to regain physician trust. The good news for pharmas is that there's an opportunity here for them to differentiate themselves as truly user-centered organizations, since this is a problem we're seeing across the industry."
Three key findings for marketers are highlighted in the infographic.
KEY TAKEAWAY: GWI Social examined the very latest figures for social media engagement, social behaviors and trends within the social space. Among the key findings…filling up spare time is the main reason for using social media among 16-24s, while older groups see these platforms as a way to keep up with friends and the news. But is social media right for pharma?
Almost every internet user can now be reached via social media – 94% of digital consumers aged 16-64 say they have an account on at least one social platform and 98% have visited/used one within the last month. So then, is social media a channel for pharma to reach patients?
Pfizer is using Facebook as an ad platform, but are men really going to click on the ad because Viagra now comes in individual dosage envelopes?
Facebook has become a media rich RSS feed with users following interests and participating in social media activism via the share button. We can easily express outrage by simply sharing content we agree with but as facebook seems to know where we have been on the web and what we have done will "suggested post" health content become too intrusive?
In research, earlier this year, a lot of older facebook users were surprised to have suggested content appear in their facebook feed. A number of older women said they were offended and shocked that facebook seemed to know what health content they were researching online.
So is social media right for pharma? In some cases, yes. At a minimum pharma should be listening to what patients are saying about their product as well as competitors' products and using the input for content that addresses questions/concerns.
As for advertising on social media there are opportunities, but rather than advertise "single packs" perhaps Pfizer would do better to talk about men's health as a way to engage the social media audience.

Gio Gonzalez Trade Rumors: Will NY Yankees Deal the Farm for A's Ace?December 10, 2011
Gio Gonzalez Trade Rumors: Will NY Yankees Deal the Farm for A's Ace?
Gio Gonzalez has long been the subject of trade rumors, and the New York Yankees have needed pitching depth for an even longer time.
Now that C.J. Wilson and Mark Buerhle are off the table, adding starting pitching through free agency isn't going to be easy or cheap. The same can be said for the trade market.
Teams are looking for a lot when it comes to their pitchers. The Oakland Athletics are asking for at least two high-level prospects when it comes to Gio Gonzalez, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Gonzalez finished with a 3.12 ERA, 16 wins, 197 SO, and a WHIP of 1.32. That's ace-like numbers if you ask me.
He has skills that any team would love to have, especially the Yankees, but they would have to give up a good amount to get him.
We'll take a look at the reasons why the Yankees should trade for him and why they shouldn't while also looking at who they can deal to get him.
The AL Landscape
Unless you've been frozen in carbonite a la Han Solo, you should have heard that the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have signed Albert Pujols to solve their power-numbers crisis while still ignoring the fact they don't know what city they're in.
You should've also heard that the pitching-deep Angels signed C.J. Wilson as well. Now the Angels have a legitimate bat in the middle of their lineup and another quality starter in their rotation.
Ladies and gentlemen, the American League just got tougher.
The Angels still have to battle the Texas Rangers for the AL West, but there's an extra wild-card spot for the playoffs now. Everyone knows how tough the AL East is, with three playoff contenders.
Therefore, the New York Yankees could very well end up fighting the Angels for that last wild card spot, should the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays prevail over them.
For some reason, as long as I can remember, the Angels have always had the Yankees' number without Albert Pujols. But now that they have him, the Yankees are going to need some help of their own.
And you can't forget the other playoff teams, of course. The Detroit Tigers are still going to be tough, as are the Rangers. The Red Sox and Rays figure to make playoff runs again next season.
Then there's always that surprise team that manages to put together wins which could end up being the Cleveland Indians or the Toronto Blue Jays.
Why They Should Deal for Gio Gonzalez
The New York Yankees need pitching depth like the Hulk needs anger-management classes.
As of now, the Yankees rotation looks to be CC Sabathia, Ivan Nova, Freddy Garcia, Phil Hughes and A.J. Burnett. Not a terrible rotation, but it isn't exactly reliable.
Nova was good this past season, but we've yet to see if he can repeat. Garcia was a miracle and it'll be another miracle if he pitches anywhere as well as he did.
Hughes and Burnett are the biggest question marks. No one knows if Hughes can stay healthy and live up to his potential, and A.J. Burnett is A.J. Burnett.
The rotation might be able to get you to the playoffs, but you won't win the World Series unless Alex Rodriguez starts blasting 50 homers again.
This is where Gio Gonzalez comes in. He can slide in behind Sabathia as a reliable No. 2 option. Sabathia, Gonzalez, and Nova would be one of the better trios in the AL. Only the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim's trio of Jered Weaver, C.J. Wilson, and Dan Haren would be better.
Gonzalez can level the playing field for the Yankees in terms of pitching. The offense can take care of the rest.
Why They Shouldn't Deal for Gio Gonzalez
The Oakland Athletics want a lot for Gio Gonzalez. The A's are interested in players with little big-league experience. They're currently asking for two high-level prospects as well as several mid-level prospects.
Might as well put on their Dr. Evil face and ask for 100 billion dollars, too.
The consensus is the A's might be trying to repeat the Dan Haren trade which got them Brett Anderson and Carlos Gonzalez, as well as others.
It's difficult to gauge how successful prospects will turn out, but prospects are still prospects.
Having to relinquish guys who could end up being better than the player you're getting has hung up many trades.
The New York Yankees have the prospects to pull off the trade. However, is giving up Jesus Montero, one of the Killer B's and more worth Gio Gonzalez and a win-now approach?
Montero could end up being the next Albert Pujols for all we know. Any one of the Killer B's could be as good, even better than Gonzalez.
Would you rather have the second coming of Albert Pujols and two Gio Gonzalezes or just Gio Gonzalez himself?
Jesus Montero Deal
The Oakland Athletics are obviously going to ask for Jesus Montero. In fact, just about every team would ask for Jesus Montero in a trade.
The New York Yankees don't seem too keen on moving him, especially after his stellar 2011 season. Instead, they look to hang on to him for a bit to see how he'll develop.
Montero fits what the A's are looking for: a player with little big-league experience but a high upside. He might have a glove made of iron but his bat is his biggest draw.
The A's are in need of offensive help and Montero would give them that. However, I also expect the A's to ask for a pitching prospect in return for Gio Gonzalez.
Here's the first trade package that could happen: Montero, Andrew Warren, Slade Heathcott and some other mid-level prospect.
Warren is a favorite of Cashman but isn't at the same level potential-wise as any of the Killer B's. Heathcott is a raw player who should develop into a decent center fielder.
The A's want two high-level prospects, but I think if they can get Montero, they'll take him along with a couple solid mid-level prospects.
Dellin Betances Deal
Dellin Betances is one of the New York Yankees' famous Killer B's. The Killer B's now consist of Betances and Manny Banuelos, since the Yankees have released Andrew Brackman.
Betances has an excellent curveball to go with his mid-90s fastball. Many scouts are projecting him to be a front-line starter somewhere down the road.
To replace Gio Gonzalez, the Oakland Athletics would want a high-level pitching prospect. Betances fits that requirement. Of course, the A's wouldn't stop there.
The offensively challenged A's would want some highly touted bats as well.
Therefore, here's the next package the Yankees could offer: Dellin Betances, Adam Warren, Gary Sanchez, Cito Culver and possibly another mid-level prospect.
Betances and Warren would fit the pitching requirement. Sanchez is pegged as the Yankees catcher of the future. He's only 18 and is still very raw, but he can hit for average and power.
Culver is a great defensive shortstop who has a strong arm. His offense is susceptible, but he has steadily improved in the minors.
Manny Banuelos Deal
As of right now, Manny Banuelos is the New York Yankees' best pitching prospect. He is projected to be an ace sometime in the future. Even the great Mariano Rivera praises this kid.
The Oakland Athletics can't do much better in terms of high-level pitching prospects in a trade with the New York Yankees.
I figure a package built around Banuelos would look something like this:
Banuelos, Austin Romine, David Phelps, Slade Heathcott and another mid-level prospect.
Romine has struggled in the bigs, but he's still a gifted fielder behind the plate. Phelps has had a pretty good minor-league career so far, but he projects to a back end of the rotation guy, maybe a No. 3 at best.
I already mentioned Heathcott before, as he's one of the Yankees' better position players in the minors.
The A's might be able to get better than this, but the lure of Banuelos could prove too strong to ignore.
The Killer B's Trade
The Oakland Athletics have made it very clear that they want two high-level prospects to headline any trade package. They want guys with little or no experience in the majors.
The Killer B's, Dellin Betances and Manny Banuelos, fit both of those requirements. They're young players with high potential and little to no big-league experience.
If I were Brian Cashman, I would do everything possible to avoid trading away both of them, but if he feels Gio Gonzalez is the pitcher they're looking for, then he'll probably move them.
The A's wouldn't be able to pass on a package of both Betances and Banuelos, despite who else is thrown in on the deal.
Here's the deal I envision: Betances, Banuelos, David Phelps, Mason Williams.
Mason Williams is the only one I haven't spoken of before. He's a mid-level prospect who had a pretty good 2011 season in the minors. Williams is a solid outfielder who can get on base and steal them as well.
Phelps' and Williams' potential is questionable, but Betances' and Banuelos' star potential isn't and could entice the A's to accept.
The Steal
Every once in a while, a team makes a deal but ends up on the losing side. Gio Gonzalez is a great pitcher and the Oakland Athletics are rightfully asking for a high price.
However, the growth of prospects is a difficult thing to predict accurately, so the guys the A's get in a trade can end up being busts (see the Johan Santana for a bag of chips trade).
Here is a trade package the New York Yankees can put together which could be consider a steal for the Yankees:
Hector Noesi, Gary Sanchez, David Phelps, Slade Heathcott, Cito Culver
Noesi can slide into the A's rotation instantly or help out from the bullpen as he's been doing.
Sanchez sorta, kinda fits the high-level prospect requirement but he's still 18 years old and rawer than sushi. Phelps pictures to be nothing more than a No. 3 starter at best.
Heathcott and Culver are both great defensive players who project to be everyday starters but not stars.
This package would make the Yankees the winners in the trade while giving the A's a bunch of good, but not great prospects.
Sure, the A's might scoff at this offer, but there have been worse deals made (again, see the Santana-for-IOU-coupon trade).
The All-In
Trades for highly-skilled and highly-valued players usually involve a couple of key players, whether they are prospects or everyday starters.
Thus, should the Yankees truly go after Gio Gonzalez, the Oakland Athletics are going to ask for a lot in return. The price the A's would ask for would likely be out of Brian Cashman's comfort zone.
This is what the A's will likely ask for:
Jesus Montero, either Dellin Betances or Manny Banuelos (hopefully not both), Adam Warren, Cito Culver and Slade Heathcott.
The A's would want Montero for his offensive prowess. They would also want one of the Killer B's to replace Gonzalez later down the road once he is big-league ready.
The rest of the guys are in the higher tier of Yankee prospects but aren't on the level of Montero or Banuelos. They figure to be solid, everyday players. They're interchangeable with any one of the Yankees' mid-level prospects the A's value.
The Yankees would and should laugh at that price. However, if one of the Steinbrenners goes over Cashman's head and demands Gonzalez, don't be surprised if a trade like this happens.
What the New York Yankees Will End Up Doing
After taking a look at what the New York Yankees can do to get Gio Gonzalez, I'm going to say that the Yankees won't end up trading for him.
The Yankees have dangled their prospects before, especially Jesus Montero. However, after seeing what he can do at the major-league level, the Yankees might be more inclined to keep him.
Yankees GM Brian Cashman has held onto his prospects, only offering them in the deal of deals. Gio Gonzalez is good, but I don't think he's two high-potential prospects and more good. At least not yet.
Cashman isn't the type of guy to sell the farm for one player.
The Yankees are good enough to compete with the way they're built now. Down the road, they'll make trades and adjustments as they see fit, but they shouldn't be trading guys or spending money blindly.
Each trade should be carefully calculated and thought out. I'd rather take the chance of losing now and winning later, especially if winning later means winning multiple times.

Bal Harbour, Fla—A patient with high
blood pressure arrives at his annual checkup after another sedentary year.
His physician, who has sketchy knowledge about hypertension, sees that the
patient has gained 12 lbs and that his blood pressure remains high. She lectures
the patient about the importance of willpower in overcoming his life-threatening
shortcomings. Without a thought about prescribing one of the several effective
antihypertensives, she dismisses the patient, shakes her head, and murmurs
to herself about the seemingly hopeless plight of "those hypertensives."

The Night Before Christmas
"What's that story? You know, the one that goes 'T'was the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring. Not even a mouse'" I asked, snuggling deeper into the blanket Max had wrapped around me.
"I know that one. The next bit is: the stocking were hung by the chimney with care, in hope that Saint Nicholas soon would be there" Abbie smiled.
"Hmm... The children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads" Max continued. "And Mamma in her 'kerchief..."
"And I in my cap, had just settled down for a long winters nap" I grinned. "When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter..."
"I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter!" I jumped up at the same time as Abbie, letting the blanket fall to the ground. We both laughed and fell back to the floor.
"Away to the windows I flew like a flash, tore open the shutters and threw up the sash" Max smiled.
"The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow,gave the lustre of midday to objects below" I smiled back "When what to my wondering eye should appear? But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer"
"With a little old driver, so lively and quick. I knew it a moment it must be Saint Nick! More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came. He whistled and shouted and called them by name"
"Now, Dasher" I interrupted loudly "Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Donder and Blitzen! To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall. Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!"
Abbie and Max laughed.
"Can we skip a bit?" I yawned "I'm really tired"
"Sure." Max said. "Let's see... He spoke not one more word, but went straight to his work. And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk."
"And laying a finger aside of his nose, and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose. He sprang to is sleigh, to his team gave a whistle. And away they all flew like the down of a thistle"
"But I heard him exclaim... as he drove out of sight" I yawned again and closed my eyes. "Merry Christmas too all and to all a good night"

text: Hi there, Been suffering with this problem for months and can't seem to remedy it. When I first boot my system, or resume it from sleep, my PC will randomly freeze for about 30 seconds, then go back to normal. This happens anywhere from 4-6 times within the first 20 minutes, and then stops. I can usually then use it as normal (in fact when it works it works very smoothly) until I reboot/rewake. I'm not sure if it's related, but I do get the occasional BSOD too. This seems to be becoming more frequent, but it is still relatively rare and there is no apparent pattern to it. It is difficult to identify when exactly the problem started, but it seems to be sometime after I rebuilt the machine (new chassis, SSD, Memory). I now have a 128GB SSD as my system drive, a 500GB user drive, and another 500GB drive for other storage. All drives have clean SMART data and chkdsk reports no issues. I suppose I am suspicious because this is my first SSD system and the first time I've experienced the issue. Installed are 2x2GB DDR2 sticks of RAM. I've tested them with the windows utility and Memtest86, no issues. The only other two changes were that I installed a 64bit version of windows and housed everything in a new case, but I can't see how either of those would be a problem? I've updated all drivers, scanned with Windows Defender and Malware Bytes, removed external devices and swapped the PSU, all to no avail. It's a bit worrying as I'm working on a few theses for tight deadlines and do not want to rely on Word's autosaves! Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I have used the 7 Forums Diagnostics tool and attached the zip file to the post. Thanks in advance [EDIT: Read the post here: http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-support/52249-temporary-unresponsiveness-after-startup.html . Booted in diagnostic start up and all was fine - so I'm guessing it's service/startup program related? Set to skeleton boot with only essential programs and services (but including things that diagnostic doesn't, so as to enable wifi etc), problem returned. How to go about identifying the boot service or program that leads to the hangs??]

Cold Metal Bars
In the security of my room, I listened to their screaming.
"Why am I the one who's always wrong!?" my mom yelled.
"That's not what I said!" Dad shouted back.
"Well say it again and set me straight... I'm always wrong, aren't I?" Mom screamed.
I heard something shatter. Their fight raged on for another twenty minutes when a light tap on my window startled me back into the real world. I slid open my window for the boy outside who I recognized to be Sam.
"What?" I asked rudely.
"Are you okay? I heard yelling, and I wanted to make sure you're alright."
"Well, I'm not. So can I join you out here?"
Without the glare from my window, I could see Sam clearly. I was very used to him now, with his blond hair and finely sculpted muscles. Sam was undeniably attractive, and what was more, he didn't flaunt it. But in the midst of all my drama, and with everything that happened with Gill, I couldn't think about anyone like that.
"So, where are you from?" I asked, just to keep the conversation going. It was the only thing I could think of.
"Just around..." I smirked and looked down at the street. "What?" he asked.
"Nothing, it's fine... You don't have to tell me."
"Good, I won't tell you."
"Good." I replied.
"GET OUT!" My mom screamed. A dog across the street began barking. My smile melted away, and I buried my face in my hands.
"I wish I knew what I could say, but I'm not sure. I can understand what you're going through, though," he tried, but his attempt at comforting me failed miserably.
After a few minutes of awkward silence, Sam got up to leave, but I stopped him. "Can you stay?" I pleaded. He looked back at his window and nodded.
"Yeah, I can stay." He gave me a weak smile.
"Thanks... You must think--"
"I don't think anything except that you have extremely long hair." He interrupted me. Laughing, I sat down.
"You're too sweet for your own good. Thanks for coming to check on me, though. I... " I let the sentence drop with a sigh.
He didn't say anything, only sat down next to me.
I leaned my head against the cold metal bars of the fire escape. After a few minutes, I must have fallen asleep, because I couldn't remember anything else.

Daniels delivers big minutes
Credit: Stuart Cahill
Marquis Daniels remained on the Celtics practice floor after the team's shootaround yesterday morning, working on his game as he has done throughout the playoffs. Daniels put in the work, not because he knew he'd play in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals, but because he knew he had to be ready in case he did.
Daniels got the call from Celtics coach Doc Rivers late in the first quarter last night and immediately delivered one of his patented cutting layups. It was the start of a game-changing run engineered by the Celtics that helped turn an early six-point deficit into a 101-91 win over the Miami Heat.
"They sparked the game with their energy and defensive effort," Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said of the C's bench. "That's probably when the game turned, when the reserves came in."
The Celtics bench has been an offensive albatross for most of the postseason, scoring just seven points in a 115-111 overtime loss in Game 2 on Wednesday. Rivers said before last night's game that he only expects great defense from his second unit, and didn't worry about its offense.
The coach got both last night, led by Daniels. In addition to passably guarding LeBron James for stretches, the ninth-year veteran scored nine points and grabbed five rebounds in 17 minutes. In the Celtics first 15 playoff games, Daniels had totaled just 12 points and four rebounds in 48 minutes, mostly in cameo defensive appearances and mop-up duty.
The last time Daniels logged more than three minutes was Game 4 of the first round, which was nearly a full month ago. Still, he put the work in every day.
"I just have to stay ready regardless," Daniels said. "I stay in every day at the shootaround, come in early and keep working out because you never know when your number is going to be called. So you have to be ready for whenever it is."
Rivers has a way of keeping even little-used reserves engaged. He's almost never publicly critical of a bench player, instead building them up. He insists that every player will help the team win a game at some point in the postseason, and Daniels fortified that belief last night.
"Marquis was phenomenal," Rivers said. "I thought what the second unit did was they came in with a defensive energy that changed the game and they scored off the defense. They got stops, they ran the floor, Marquis cut and got to the basket."
Daniels knows that last night's success guarantees him nothing. If Paul Pierce is in a groove or Mickael Pietrus comes off the bench and makes an impact, there might not be an opportunity for Daniels in Game 4 tomorrow night.
None of that bothers Daniels, who will be in the gym preparing as if Rivers is going to give him the nod — even if Daniels has learned not to buy everything his coach tells him before games.
"He told me the last two games, 'Be ready. You're going to play tonight,' " Daniels said of the first two games when he logged less than two minutes combined. "He didn't say nothing to me (last night). Hopefully he doesn't say anything to me next game."

Importance of feuilleton novels Popular literature of the XIX century has influenced strongly all modern forms of popular and narratives (literature, cinema, comics, TV serials) Popular literature and narratives are always influenced by commercial interest, the reader's expectative, ideological drives Aristotle: Poetics, Rhetoric Poetics (Greek: Περὶ ποιητικῆς, c. 335 BCE) is the earliest-surviving work of dramatic theory and the first extant philosophical treatise to focus on literary theory Aristotle wrote mostly about theatre The spectator should be able to identify itself with the characters, even if they are heroes Plot: surprises, from happiness to tragedy - from danger to solution The tension should touch his hyperboles Resolution of the drama: prodigy, divine intervention, revelation, punishment Catharsis: the spectator is deeply touched and his emotion purify his soul Ancient theatre is clearly different from modern popular narrative Ancient theatre was a religious experience (Dionysus), extremely popular (a city festival: Dionysia) The plot were mythological The heroes were often imperfect and they commit sins of hybris – act of extreme haughtiness or arrogance, generally against Gods The sins are herded (grandfather-father-son) The heroes are punished, often with death The end is problematic, often unclear The tragedy is about the mystery of existence, Fate The tragedy includes deep elements of self-reflection Popular narrativity The hero is mostly positive, a super-human with exceptional capacities and some weak points (identification) The opposition Good-Evil is quite clear The Evil characters (Villains) are ugly and well characterized Some women are victims, saved by the hero Other women are femme-fatales (beautiful, lustful, dangerous, lethal) There is tension, surprising plots, dramas, killings There is often a happy end (the hero won the villain, save the lady or the victim) Another possibility is some solution of the tension: the crime mystery is solved, the lost son is found Pop narrative: idelogy Ideology of consolation The society is full of Evil, dangerous. But there are always exceptional individuals that could resolve some acute situations in simple ways (violence, clear solutions) There is a flame of hope in the darkness: the catharsis should be optimistic Heroes are reformers or policemen, not revolutionaries The heroes aren't resolving all the problems of society, the status-quo remain untouched: they fix only particular situations The current morality is defended ideology by the hero, even using unconventional ways Dostoyevsky: The Idiot This novel is quite the opposite of typical popular literature The characters are complex, there aren't "heroes" quite all the character failed in a real, total denounce of society There is no happy end or easy solution of mysteries : the question are opened to self reflection More similar to Ancient Tragedy Anagnorisis Aristotle (Poetics): Theory of Anagnorisis or "recognition", "identification": valid for tragedy… but also for popular literature Is a revelation, relevant in the plot: the hero recognize his lost daughter, the true identity of someone is revealed Popular narrative is obsessed by secrets: secret identities, dark dungeons, secret services, masked heroes, secret sons, secret treasures Feuilleton was originally a supplement attached to the political pages of French newspapers, consisting chiefly of non-political news and gossip, literature and art criticism In English newspapers, the term "feuilleton" instead came to refer to an installment of a serial story printed in one part of a newspaper New readers: middle class, proletarians, women In contemporary French, feuilleton means also TV soap opera Democratic phase of feuilleton-narrative Dumas and Sue The serial novels were also interested to denounce social problems, but the ideology is often paternalistic and pathetic … The plots are clearly commercial The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas First serial novel in 1844 The Musketeers are typical pop heroes: they have an elementary sense of justice and democracy ("all for one, one for all" ("tous pour un, un pour tous") but they true love is the freedom and pure adventure The Evil is represented by Cardinal Richelieu The Cardinal represent the cold State authority, the Reason of state The paradox is that he is the real protagonist of the novels, the one that has the most complex psychology Sometimes in popular literature the Villains are at the very centre of the attention The Three Musketeers (1993): D'Artagnan Meets the Cardinal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuKudT1bM68 The Three Musketeers (1993) Final Battle 1/3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6mWnsIpJMs The Count of Monte Cristo by Dumas Typical vindicator: he search for revenge against his enemies Again, we found a personal concept of justice The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRy5SEXUgtA&feature=related Les Mystères de Paris The Mysteries of Paris (French: Les Mystères de Paris) serial novel by Eugène Sue which was published serially in Journal des débats from June 19, 1842 until October 15, 1843. Eugene Sue (1804 –1857) Originally a dandy: exhibitionist gentlemen, scandal lover Later strongly affected by the Socialist ideas of the day, and these prompted his most famous works: Les Mystères de Paris (10 vols., 1842-1843) Le Juif errant (tr. "The Wandering Jew") (10 vols., 1844-1845) Les Mystères du peuple The Mystères de Paris has a Christian-Socialist "reformist" attitude: injustice can be solved by charity and reforms Even so, it was considered "dangerous" by conservatives, especially after the revolution of 1848 Sue was exiled in consequence of his protest against the coup d'état of 2 December 1851 Les Mystères du peuple was more revolutionary and was suppressed by the censor in 1857 The Mysteries of Paris The Mysteries of Paris entranced thousands of readers for more than a year … even illiterates who had episodes read to them The hero: the mysterious and distinguished Rodolphe He is really the Grand Duke of Gérolstein but is disguised as a Parisian worker (mask, secret identity) Strong fighter, intelligent, compassionate for poor people He understand the problems of all social classes The good ones in the Mysteries Generally are poor, but honest proletarians Or even ex-villains or sinners Are regularly saved or helped by Rodolphe and even joined together in a "model farm" Pietism and charity are the solution of social problems Villains in the Mysteries Are regularly punished by Rodoplhe The Schoolmaster, brutal and dangerous, who hides a terrible secret, is punished by Rodolphe by blinding It's a "democratic" reform: it was considered better than the death penalty Prison reform: separate cells (more useful for self-reflection and redemption) Some typical Villains La Chouette (The Owl), an old woman with diabolical schemes Polidori, an abbot with a dark past Cecily, mulatta: beautiful but dangerous Bras-Rouge (Red-Arm), an underworld boss The revelation of the secret: Fleur-de-Marie Rodolphe is searching for his lost daughter He met and save a prostitute: Fleur-de-Marie After various adventures, Sue declared: "Well, at this point the reader had understood that Fleur-de-Marie is the lost daughter …" Extremely weak revelation of the secret, declared without any tension or pathos Fleur-de-Marie "became" what she should be by birth: a princess But she died, stressed by the weight of her previous sins The death of Fleur-de-Marie Fleur-de-Marie died because the morality of the time couldn't accept a prostitute-princess She was however marked Notes The novel is full of notes: reminders of past events or anticipation of future events That's typical of serial narrative and comics (superheroes) A "weak" return home Dumas considered the novel's ending quite strange Rodolphe goes back to Gérolstein to take on the role to which he was destined by birth, rather than staying in Paris to help the lower classes Riancey Amendment 1850 Riancey Amendment set out to impose a stamp tax on all newspapers that published the type of roman-feuilleton, or serial number It had killed the democratic serial-novel, that was considered socially dangerous by the new conservative government After the democratic period the popular novel become more conservative After 1850 More attention focused on heroes and villains or pure adventure Typical example: Rocambole by Pierre-Alexis Ponson Fast action, 26 identity revelation in 300 pages No social critics Gothic novel: the fashion of the Monster Dracula 1897 In Gothic Novels (Dracula) there is a clear division Good-Evil and at the end the Good Hero win But the central figure is the Monster itself, that is clearly terrible, but interesting and fascinating As in Stoker's Dracula The female vampires (sensual-deadly) become more and more popular DRACULA's films Bram Stoker's DRACULA (Coppola) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw2-ZMhxTUs&feature=related Horror Of Dracula (1958) Trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZUlClqrTjA&feature=related Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle The Hero is a genial, but also strange and complicated, antisocial and drug-addicted Holmes is the grandfather of the detectives of the noir novels and films The Arch-Enemy Moriarty is a real second Hero, genial as Holmes New drive: Evil is the Hero Gothic and Dedtctive novels influenced popular literature in which the real hero is the Bad guy: Lupin and Fantomas Here the reader is interested to know how the Villain succeed in the crime Arsène Lupin The character of Lupin was first introduced in a series of short stories serialized in the magazine Je Sais Tout, starting in No. 6, dated 15 July 1905. Lupin is egocentric, interested in fame and power Is a criminal, but not a killer He met Sherlock Holmes He was originally called Arsène Lopin, until a local politician of the same name protested, resulting in the name change.

Boehringer Ingelheim's Afatinib Extends PFS in EGFR Mutation-Positive NSCLC
Boehringer Ingelheim reported positive data from a Phase III trial evaluating afatinib as first-line therapy in patients with EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The open-label LUX-Lung 3 study is comparing once-daily oral afatinib with pemetrexed/cisplatin chemotherapy in 345 patients with stage IIIb or IV disease. The results showed that in the overall patient population afatinib therapy was associated with a PFS of 11.1 months, compared with 6.9 months for patients treated using chemotherapy.
About 90% of patients in the study harbor the most common Del19 or L858R EGFR mutations. In this subset of patients afatinib therapy was associated with a median PFS of 13.6 months, compared with 6.9 months for patients in the chemotherapy arm.
Afatinib is an irreversible ERbB family blocker that targets EGFR (ErbB1), Her2 (ErbB2), and ErbB4. The drug is currently undergoing Phase III development as a treatment for NSCLC, head and neck cancer, and breast cancer. The LUX-Lung program includes eight studies evaluating afatinib in the treatment of advanced NSCLC.

Suzan McCorry directed another sensational production at Lafayette High School. The Wizard of Oz was superb in every way. The cast, crew, and almost 100 student musicians put together four performances April 21 - 23 that thrilled and enthralled packed audiences.
The acting, the singing (inspired by Lisa Stone, Vocal Director), and dancing (directed by Arianna Heck, Choreographer) were electrifying and inspiring. Toto, Dorothy's little dog, tugged at the hearts of admiring audiences as did the host of pre-school Munchkins, budding performers of tomorrow, from pre-school, elementary and middle schools. The costumes, acquired, assembled and sewn by Dede Landis and Sonia Paolucci, were fabulous. The sets, designed by Master Carpenter Steven Mares and constructed under his supervision, were the finest. The much traveled yellow brick road was an elevated path of clear Plexiglas floating above an illuminated yellow base structure that arched from the ends of the stage to the center front row seats. Scene Artist Barbara Henry's talent was evident in all of the many scenes and set changes.
The outstanding Pit Orchestra conducted by T. Jonathan Hargis accompanied by pianist Matt Rapach performed flawlessly before packed audiences.
A standing ovation is well deserved for the entire drama team at Lafayette High School that brings perfection in performances that make us very proud.

Kozlov - Inflammation and Cancer: Methods and Protocols: Volume 2, Molecular Analysis and Pathways Published: 2009-05-26 | ISBN: 1603275290, 1617379050 | PDF | 408 pages | 4.89 MB According to the most recent clinical oncology data, one out of seven newly diagnosed malignancies worldwide result from infection and chronic inflammation in conjunction with cancer. In Inflammation and Cancer: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers deliver a systematic guide to techniques addressing various aspects of experimental cancer biology, selectively focused on inflammation-mediated tumorigenesis, while promoting improvisations on a per-case basis. Volume 2, Molecular Analysis and Pathways is devoted to an extensive description of experimental strategies aimed at investigating the molecular cross-talks between components of cell signaling chains and their ramifications in diagnostic development and drug target discovery. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series format, chapters include brief introductions to their subjects, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step laboratory protocols, and a notes section, which examines tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Comprehensive and cutting-edge, Inflammation and Cancer: Methods and Protocols promises to serve as a vital guide and resource for investigators and clinicians working toward the goal of combatting the estimated 2, 200 inflammation-related oncogenesis fatalities occurring every day.
