This Week's Reading
What We're Loving: Captain Kentucky, John Henry, PlaguesBy The Paris Review
I picked up Barbara Comyns's Who Was Changed and Who Was Dead when it was first reissued in 2010 but then had to put it aside. I began it again—and finished it—last week, and I'm so glad I did. The novel, originally published in England in 1954, concerns the Willoweed family and their reactions to an outbreak of madness and suicide in their small village. Its humor is by turns black and light, its characters morbid and delightful. An aberrant pastoral as smart as this one could only come from someone with a biography as nutty and wonderful as Comyns's. A painter by training—she exhibited with the London Group—Comyns married and had two children. To support them, "she dealt in antiques and vintage cars, renovated apartments, and bred poodles. She later lived in Spain for eighteen years." —Nicole Rudick
Brain still humming with Elaine Blair's brilliant essay on David Foster Wallace, I read his own long 1990 review of Wittgenstein's Mistress, now reprinted in Both Flesh and Not. So much has been written about Infinite Jest, but for me these two essays together do the best job of describing what's at stake in that novel—morally, philosophically, artistically. Among other things, Wallace reveals his debt to Stanley Cavell (a teacher whose influence he later played down) and his raw-nerved engagement with feminist criticism. At times, too, "The Empty Plenum" reads like a sort of preemptive rebuttal to Jonathan Franzen's elegy in The New Yorker. Wallace may not have been the sage we wished for, but as Blair writes, he "worked a reverse-Promethean theft, taking our humble spoken idioms and delivering them to the gods." —Lorin Stein

HUNDREDS of cannabis plants were seized following a raid on a home off the A127.
Police discovered 400 plants when they raided an outbuilding, near a bungalow, following tip-offs it was being used to grow the Class B drug.
Officers forced their way into the building where they found a purpose-built drugs growing factory.
Three rooms had been converted and were equipped with high-powered fans, to help get rid of the drug's tell-tale smell, as well as powerful hydroponic lights, used to help the drugs grow.
One of the rooms, which had the drugs hanging from the ceiling, had been turned into a drying room – which is the last stop for the cannabis before it hits the street.
Another room had mature cannabis plants, ready to be cropped, lined up in rows of plant pots.
Officers also found baby cannabis plants and seized an air rifle, following a search of the building, on Tuesday.
The haul, found at the back of the bungalow next to the Carlton Cafe, off the Southend-bound carriageway, is the largest to be found in the Basildon area in recent months.
Sgt Dave Darnell, of the Basildon East neighbourhood policing team, said: "I'm pleased a large quantity of drugs has been seized and will no longer be hitting the streets of this area.
"When we receive good information from the community, we will act.
"If you know who is involved in drugs, please contact us immediately so we can take robust action."
A 56-year-old man, from Wickford, was arrested on suspicion of cultivating cannabis with the intent to supply, while a 51-year-old woman, from Wickford, was arrested on suspicion of production of cannabis and abstracting electricity.
The man has been bailed and police are continuing to question the woman.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by 5Stars, Feb 2, 2013.
RG3 won it.
Congrats, Redskins.
I disagree, but I'm a bit biased.
Luck got robbed. Heck RGIII was not even the best rookie non his own team.
I would have voted for Luck . . . . but it will be interesting to see how Luck's and RGIII's respective careers progress.
Well said!
I think it should have gone to Wilson but likely would have gone to RG3 if he had remained healthy. Combined with his strong start, I can see why he got it but Wilson played tougher opponents, stepped his game up big time and ultimately went further.
He was 3rd on my list.
Should've been Luck, then Wilson, then Morris and then Griffin.
So many Redskins fans and they're so fanatical about Griffin (almost to a clinical psychological issue level) that they just voted over and over and over until he won when he wasn't even the best rookie on his team.
Redskin fans were plain desperate for him to win that award. It is entertaining really, looking from the outside in.
Bob's career is gonna be breif unfortunately. Two major knee reconstruction surgeries on the same knee within a 4yr span, that isn't good at all. I bet that knee goes out again on him in the near future. I'm not wishing bad luck on the guy, I just think that's too much on one knee.
Wilson should have won it IMO.
I would have understood Wilson but remember the vote was at the end of the regular season when Griffin had just led the Skins to the their first division title in 14 years. As for Morris being better, history is on Shanahans side of finding 6th round steals. I hope he is the next Terrell but Griffins abilities certainly took some of the defenses focus off him.
Posted from Cowboyszone.com App for Android
And likewise Morris took a ton of pressure and focus off of RG3 because they couldn't forget that Morris could run the hell out of the ball.
That's my take on his career as well.
Like you, I'm not wishing ill on the player.
Agreed. He wouldn't have been in my top 5 rookies this year. A horrible decision. It's a product of media hype.
True, but there are mic'd up moments like Jared Allens flabbergast at how to handle Griffin, and his 76 yd jaunt for the winning score.
I know its a Cowboys board, and that Griffin most probably not have the longest NFL career, but this year, what he did for the skins franchise, gave him the edge. All 3 QBs had some areas of stats that were, in a normal year, locks for the award. Griffin was the only one though that led his team to their 1st division title in 10+ years and revitalized a franchise that you all know has long been the doormat in the division.
Posted from Cowboyszone.com App for Android
Oh, you mean when he was throwing for 100 yards on a 50% completion percentage? That season defining game?
No. Not the playoff game. The week before too.
Yeah. Morris was actually relevant into winning the game. Griffin was carried there in probably the worst QB performance in the league this year. Only his playoff performance rivals it.
Luck was absolutely robbed. He had less to work with than the other 2. And Wilson had that nasty D. Give Luck that Seahawk squad and there's no doubt they'd be in the SB or at least the NFCC
We'll laugh at this voting result when it's all said and done...
luck has to be upset, got out done by this kid for the Heisman and now rookie of the year
Of course...RG3 was great for the NFL this year. This is his time. But Russell Wilson will be the real winner from this group. Luck is the most talented, RG3 is the flashiest and most marketable, Wilson just wins

Rumination disorder
Rumination disorder is a condition in which a person keeps bringing up food from the stomach into the mouth (regurgitation) and rechewing the food.
Rumination disorder usually starts after age 3 months, following a period of normal digestion. It occurs in infants and is rare in children and teenagers. The cause is often unknown. Certain problems, such as lack of stimulation of the infant, neglect, and high-stress family situations, have been associated with the disorder.
Rumination disorder may also occur in adults.
- Repeatedly bringing up (regurgitating) food
- Repeatedly rechewing food
Symptoms must go on for at least 1 month to fit the definition of rumination disorder.
People do not appear to be upset, retching, or disgusted when they bring up food. It may appear to cause pleasure.
Exams and Tests
The health care provider must first rule out physical causes, such as hiatal hernia, pyloric stenosis, and gastrointestinal system abnormalitiesthatare present from birth (congenital). These conditions can be mistaken for rumination disorder.
Rumination disorder can cause malnutrition. The following lab tests can measure how severe the malnutrition is and determine what nutrients need to be increased:
- Blood test for anemia
- Endocrine - hormone functions
- Serum electrolytes
Rumination disorder is treated with behavioral techniques. One treatment associates bad consequences with rumination and good consequences with more appropriate behavior (mild aversive training).
Other techniques include improving the environment (if there is abuse or neglect) and counseling the parents.
Outlook (Prognosis)
In some cases rumination disorder will disappear on its own, and the child will go back to eating normally without treatment. In other cases, treatment is necessary.
Possible Complications
- Failure to thrive
- Lowered resistance to disease
- Malnutrition
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if your baby appears to be repeatedly spitting up, vomiting, or rechewing food.
There is no known prevention. However, normal stimulation and healthy parent-child relationships may help reduce the odds of rumination disorder.

As manager of the Mets, Collins has long admired the Cards from afar -- particularly the way they have developed their homegrown core of players, including Yadier Molina, Matt Carpenter, Allen Craig and a host of young pitchers.
Collins would prefer to view from a distance. Instead his team has another date on Tuesday with the Cardinals, who will send ace right-hander Adam Wainwright to the mound at Citi Field.
"They've done a great job," said Collins, whose Mets beat the Cards, 2-0, in Monday's series opener.
"When you look at their club, obviously they've got some very, very good players that they signed and raised on their own. But they've gone out and done a nice job of adding some help. There's not one thing that really sticks out. They all are just good, solid players."
The Mets will counter with right-hander Dillon Gee, who rebounded from a tough start to the season to blank the D-backs over seven innings last week in Phoenix. Though Gee threw just 72 pitches in the game, Collins was unwilling to give him a chance to falter late, as had become Gee's habit earlier in the month.
Gee understood the decision, noting that he has to earn back his coaching staff's trust.
The upshot is that he should be plenty fresh when he takes the mound for Tuesday's game, perhaps giving him an advantage. But unlike Gee, Wainwright has been consistently sharp this season, pitching a shutout against the Nationals his last time out.
"Waino has been around for a long time," Molina said. "The other team has a pretty good idea what Waino brings to the table. That's what makes Waino good, because he can do different things in different at-bats.
One at-bat, he can get you out with a curveball. The other at-bat, he can get you out with a cutter. He's hard to hit that way."
Mets: Tejada looking to get rolling
The Mets are slowly starting to see returns from Chris Young, Travis d'Arnaud and other hitters who'd either slumped or endured injuries early this season. But they have not enjoyed much production from shortstop Ruben Tejada, who finally broke through with a big game -- mostly on the defensive side -- on Monday.
Tejada's early struggles opened the door to criticism of the front office, considering that the Mets declined to upgrade the position through free agency -- Stephen Drew is still available -- or trade over the winter. But Collins believes his shortstop is on the cusp of returning to his 2011-12 form, which saw him hit .287 with a .345 on-base percentage.
Since that time, Tejada has hit just .201 with a .266 OBP in 73 games, missing significant time due to injuries and a Minor League demotion. But he did make two fine plays on Monday, finishing 1-for-3 with an intentional walk.
"I don't feel upset about sticking with Ruben," Collins said. "He's put some good at-bats together. ... Would you like it to be better? Well we'd like everybody to be better. But right now he's the guy, and we've got to continue to try to get him to improve."
Cardinals: Ellis over Wong, but not forever
The Cardinals played veteran Mark Ellis over Kolten Wong at second base for Monday's series opener against the Mets, though that arrangement is far from permanent. Manager Mike Matheny feels that Wong is on the verge of breaking out despite a rough start to the season, which includes his current 2-for-18 funk.
"I think he is doing a better job than what we were seeing in Spring Training of not feeling good but not wearing it on his sleeve," Matheny said on Monday. "He is making good strides toward getting it remedied. I talked to him at length today about some of the things he is looking to do, and he has a real good approach to how to fix it. I am anxious to get him back out there."
Wong, who is historically better against right-handed pitching, is a good bet to return to the lineup on Tuesday versus Gee.
Worth noting
- Forty-year-old Bobby Abreu joined the Mets on Monday, and he could start in the outfield at some point this week. Abreu, who was hitting .395 in a short spell with Triple-A Las Vegas, will serve mostly as a left-handed pinch-hitter.
- Mets third baseman David Wright extended his hitting streak to 12 games with a broken-bat RBI single in the third inning on Monday. It is the franchise-record 18th double-digit hitting streak of Wright's career.
- Cardinals pitchers struck out at least seven batters in a game for the 15th time Monday. That mark is second only to Washington (16) in the National League.
- Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy has owned Wainwright throughout his career, going 6-for-11 with two doubles, a triple and a walk. Outfielder Lucas Duda has also seen plenty of success against Wainwright, with a double, a homer and six RBIs in eight at-bats. As a roster, the Mets sport a lifetime .301 batting average and .845 OPS against the Cardinals ace.

Atmel has announced maXStylus, an active stylus solution for tablets and smartphones. Combined with Atmel's maXTouch solutions, the maXStylus family offers simultaneous touch and stylus functionality.
Referred to as multiSense functionality, this feature enables advanced gesturing such as zooming in/out while writing and scrolling; page flipping while scrolling; and selecting a tool or content. The maXStylus family is designed to provide precise, high-resolution writing experience with a narrow 1mm tip, accuracy and linearity of +/- 0.25mm, advanced gesturing, palm rejection and pressure sensing capability with 256 pressure levels.
The family also supports dual mechanical buttons for customizable features tailored for the end customer. The Atmel mXTS100 is the first solution sampling in this family and works with the maXTouch E series and future maXTouch solutions, the vendor said.
Traditional solutions today require two separate sensors to enable both stylus and finger touch functionality. With Atmel maXStylus solutions, OEMs can use just one sensor to implement both a stylus and touch simultaneously to simplify system design and reduce overall system cost. The new family also reduces the overall time-to-market for adding touch and stylus features to a design using maXTouch technology.
The maXStylus family also leverages Atmel's eco-system and software partners. As a co-engineering partner to Microsoft, the mXTS100 supports Windows 8 and the recently launched Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
The Atmel mXTS100 is sampling to lead customers in November 2011. Production quantities are expected to ship in the first quarter of the company's fiscal 2012.

Have you ever found yourself frustrated with the AutoCorrect feature found in the MS Office suite programs?
Yeah, I'm sure you have.
Most of the time, they're helpful little changes in spelling or things like capitalization and we're thankful to have the program looking out for us.
But, what about the times when AutoCorrect is making changes that we really don't want or need?
Sometimes it's enough to make a person want to turn the AutoCorrect features off entirely.
Oh, but wait, don't panic and don't do anything that drastic just yet. (After all, there are a lot of helpful AutoCorrect things happening all the time. You'd really miss them if they were gone).
The next time AutoCorrect makes a change you don't want, stop where you are and Undo it.
Yes, I said undo. Your choices are to click the Undo button in the Standard toolbar, use Ctrl + Z or to select the word with the changes and use the AutoCorrect Options menu that opens to choose Undo.
Since the AutoCorrect changes are actions that happened after your information was entered, an immediate Undo will remove the correction and send you happily on your way!

|How to use an actual German Wolfsangel: (1) Sling the longer
piece over a tree branch. (2) Wrap meat around the z-shaped
hook hanging from the chain. (3) Wait for wolf to take the bait.
|List's Gibor
|Wolfsangel on cover of Rice's
Music, Martinis and Misanthropy
|After the interview, a leading runologist wrote to me
about the runic origins of the Wolfsangel symbol:
"The whole concept seems very much like 19th-20th-
century rune magic. Pure hogwash, in other words."
ML - It's a serious point you make, so I'm going to give it some serious attention – starting by telling you how the symbol ended up in the book and going on to discuss if its Nazi associations outside of the US and UK make it illegal or unusable.
The symbol appealed to me because it has three meanings – wolf trap, storm and werewolf, depending on the orientation. I have no idea where I got that information from – it's something I think I picked up as a kid. I was very interested in runes, in hieroglyphs and all sorts of magical symbols and used to scan the encyclopedia for references to them. So the symbol was in my unconscious, I think, and that's why it suddenly hopped out on to the page when I was writing.
|However, the Wolfsangel looks
much more like List's Gibor than
it does like heraldic symbols such
as this one from circa 1340
I was aware it may or may not have been a rune of the Viking Age but I incorporated it as a matter of artistic license. There is some suggestion that it is a version of the rune Eihwaz, which is a Viking rune, but I understood it emerged as a 13th-century Mason's mark. Had I thought that rune originated with the Nazis – which I don't think it did – then I would not have used it. I think it's just part of the Nazis' haul of symbols swiped from Norse mythology, Rome, Victorian and Edwardian pagan revivalists and other cultures. Some of those symbols are beyond redemption, clearly – the swastika is rightly outlawed in Germany. But some of the symbols had a life before Nazism, continue to have a life independently of Nazism, and their association with the ideology – certainly in my country – is weak or non-existent. And in fact, some symbols that actually did originate with the Nazis outgrew them and have an entirely different cultural resonance today. The Olympic torch, for instance, was invented for the 1936 Berlin Olympics, and the first lighting of the Olympic cauldron by a torch bearer was presided over by Hitler.
|Löns' The Warwolf
List was certainly an unsavory figure and a Nordicist, but he wasn't a Nazi and in fact was decried by the Nazi's chief occult cheerleader Karl Maria Wiligut. However, some of what he thought chimed with the Nazi philosophies. But, then again, ideas of racial superiority and anti-semitism were common in that era. We were only just out of the Victorian age, where racist prejudice had the status of scientific fact. And not everyone who held those views was a Nazi. Churchill, for instance, was a supporter of eugenics and wrote, "the unnatural and increasingly rapid growth of the Feeble-Minded and Insane classes, coupled as it is with a steady restriction among all the thrifty, energetic and superior stocks, constitutes a national and race danger which it is impossible to exaggerate." So, though it's tempting to put List into the box "proto-Nazi," that may be a historically-inaccurate way of viewing him. He certainly talked a great deal of bunk and some of it nasty bunk – just as Churchill did – but it's a long way from there to the Final Solution. He clearly had some horrible views, but they belonged more to the Victorian and Edwardian ages than they did to that of the horrors of Hitler's Germany.
|There really is evidence of a connection, including
the 1932 statement by a prominent member of the
Guido von List Society that Hitler is "one of our disciples"
|German Criminal Code actually does punish anyone
who "domestically distributes or publicly uses,
in a meeting or in writings disseminated by him,
symbols of one of the parties or organizations"
such as "a former National Socialist organization"
The second decider was that, in my primary market – US and the UK – the symbol has entirely lost any resonance it did have. Very few people would associate it with Nazism in the UK – and I believe very few in the US, too – outside of academic and specialist circles. I had no idea the book would sell in Germany, but we'll come to that later. I tested it on a wide audience, and no one had even heard of it.
|An obsession with wolves & the occult isn't unique to Germany.
Example 1: The symbol of Yale University's Wolf's Head Society
I was very pleased with the story, and it's as well written as anything I've ever done. However, I cut it, after a lot of thought. The reason was that I just wasn't convinced that an event as terrible as the Holocaust could be handled in what is, essentially, a fantasy story. I still don't know that I made the right decision, because it was powerful stuff that made valuable points about the uses of faith – independent of its truth – in directing correct moral action. I was concerned, though, that my intention would be misunderstood because historical fantasy is, primarily, a form of entertainment. If you incorporate the barbarities of the Nazis in that context, would people think I was presenting them for entertainment? That was not my purpose at all. So I cut all the stuff in Germany out, even though I thought I had come up with something affecting and worthwhile.
|Coventry Cathedral after the German bombing of November, 1940
|German edition of Wolfsangel
ML - Well, obviously, I don't want to upset or offend anyone, but I don't think I have! The symbol is used in Germany, as I said, entirely independently of fascist associations. I don't know if most Germans see it as fascist imagery. If any do, then they haven't mentioned it to me. The symbol is in the book in the German version. No one from the German publishers even raised it as an issue with me. So I don't know how strong the association is in Germany. I should imagine that it's stronger than it is in the UK, though. Sometimes books are retitled for no apparent reason. My book Lucky Dog was retitled When the Hound Came in German – not a title that gives the right impression in English at all! No one consulted me about that either. So I have no idea if the book was retitled out of concerns about the symbol's association or for other reasons. I have no idea if the German publisher even recognized the association.
Let's assume it was retitled out of concerns about the associations of the Wolfsangel – as seems likely. It was still left in the book, complete with an illustration of the symbol. I think this is because, when Germans read how I introduce the symbol in the context of the story, they can clearly see it is not used to support a fascist outlook, nor to make any political comment at all. I have had no comment from Germans on its use whatsoever, and it's only come up in one interview worldwide so far, other than this one – and then because the interviewer's flatmate was a military historian who recognized the sign. Thankfully, I have had no fascist idiots mistaking me for one of them either.
The important thing here is that the symbol is obscure in my country and in the US, and I am clearly not using it in a Nazi context, nor is there a crypto-fascist agenda in the book. Symbols are defined by context, and the context here is very obviously not one that supports Nazism or fascism. In fact, it very clearly points out the value of ordinary, fallible, humanity.
I would explain it to a German or Israeli audience by saying all of the above. There was certainly no intention to offend and, as far as I can see, no one has taken offense.
|The death of Wulf Sternhammer, 2000 AD's time-traveling Viking
|Surely somebody cares about poor Gollum!
Painting by Frank Frazetta (1973)
If there is a difference, it's because we British have a chip on our shoulders about happy endings. Somehow they don't seem very clever, and we have a chip on our shoulders about that too. We're the people making vomiting noises in the medal-giving ceremony in Star Wars. And was I the only one who felt sorry for the RDA Corporation in Avatar?
A writer needs to kill some of his characters occasionally to get taken seriously by the reader, to increase the dramatic charge. Otherwise, it's all too comfortable. I never liked James Bond as a kid, because I never thought he was ever in any serious trouble. Spider-Man, however, earned huge respect from me when the writers killed Gwen Stacey. Wow! That never happened to Lois Lane. However, Bond is English and Spider-Man is as NYC as a stand-bought hot dog. You need to get the reader's respect, and killing dearly loved characters is just one way to do it..
|English culture hero Basil Fawlty moonlighting as a Scottish wizard
If there is a difference, perhaps it's because US writers have an optimism that we lack in our country. We fell quite quickly from our role as the world's superpower, and perhaps that has an ongoing effect on the national psyche. I don't think modern British writers are harking back to the days of empire, but they are writing in a culture that still carries the invisible tremors of the aftershock of its collapse. It will be interesting to see, if the US loses its pre-eminent role in the world, how US writing changes.

Blast the Human Flower (1990)
|Martin Johnson & the spoils of victory
The rest, I don't really have a solid picture of what they look like – Authun aside. I have a verbal imagination, not a visual one. I get glimpses of the characters, but they don't sit still long enough for me to get a very clear look at them. One thing is certain, though, I wouldn't like the corn-fed look of some of the Twilight actors. Nothing wrong with Twilight, but its actors look like what they are – affluent teenagers. My actors would have to appear a bit more starved, hungry and sharp looking.
|Mads Mikkelsen in Valhalla Rising (2009)
KS - There's a wonderfully atmospheric video trailer out for Fenrir – the second book in the series – that hints at the power that a film version of the series could have. How far forward in history does this book move the story?
ML - It begins at the Viking siege of Paris in 885, so only about 60 or so years. This actually occurred and was one of the steps on the way to the foundation of Normandy. The trailer is good, isn't it? The soundtrack is by Jonathan Harvey – Mortuos Plango. Sends shivers down the spine.
KS - What's your planned schedule of writing and publishing the rest of the series? Has the whole process tilted more towards the exciting or to the daunting?
ML - The third is done, and the fourth will be written early in 2012. The third is set in Constantinople in about 969 and features the beginnings of the Varangian Guard – the Byzantine emperor's Viking bodyguard.
KS - Thank you for being so gracious and patient during the interview process!
ML - Well, thanks for such an in-depth and challenging interview. It's amazing to be questioned by someone with such a detailed knowledge of the book's background. I'm aware that I've answered some questions as, "Dunno, just came out that way," but – as I noted several times – this is the prerogative of the creative writer rather than the academic. Thanks a lot, Karl. Much appreciated.

Doug Otto is an attorney and president of the Long Beach City College Board of Trustees.
Question: I never stop working. I'm in San Clemente right now on vacation.
Answer: I love San Clemente. My mother used to live there. I was down visiting her on the day in 1974 that Nixon resigned as President and I remember the helicopter coming in taking him to his San Clemente house that day.
Q: Let's keep this light and breezy. We can talk about the future of higher education or your struggle with cancer. Which one is more terrifying?
A: They're horrors of a different ilk. Cancer speaks for itself, but what's going on in higher education, particularly with community colleges, is particularly scary. I'm trying to understand what the pathways are to continue to make LBCC a great institution, but I worry about its very survival.
Q: It's that bad?
A: It is. I was in Sacramento last week for meetings on community colleges and the tone among people involved with the future of community colleges is very, very bleak. I think that how we finance community colleges in the future is going to have to change. There are models on how to get this done, but no one has the wherewithal to do anything right now the way the economy is.
Q: I know how much LBCC means to you. You attended the college, you're in its hall of fame, you mention it more than you mention Stanford University as a formative place. When the trustees laid off dozens of staff members recently, people were practically throwing rotten tomatoes at you and saying you're causing the death of education. What was that like?
A: It's hard, but it goes with the territory. It's an educational institution and we have to educate people that the problems are caused by a severe lack of funding and not by the actions of the trustees and the administration. They didn't cause the problems, and we're working hard to solve them.
Q: Let's talk about something more cheerful. How's the cancer thing going?
A: I was in Houston about a month ago and got another clean bill of health, and told to come back in six months instead of every three months like I've been doing. So knock on wood. I was saying to my wife, Freda ... that it's almost like it didn't happen. I have no physical limitations, my strength and endurance are back to where they were before it happened.
Q: It was looking real bad there for a while.
A: It was. I was so naive about cancer. I remember when I was first diagnosed, the doctor told me I had Stage 4 cancer and I said, "well, at least I don't have Stage 5." He said, "There is no Stage 5."
Q: Why did you go all the way to Houston (the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center) for your treatment?
A: Well, for one, it's a great place to be treated. And I was so involved in so many things in town, that I thought if we didn't leave town, we would be risking my health. My kids came to visit, but we were there to get rid of my cancer and nothing else.
Q: That's where the writer Christopher Hitchens was being treated when he died last year. Did you run into him at all?
A: No. He was there after I was. I read his stuff about his cancer and I was very interested in what he had to say. He was a great writer; a great contrarian.
Q: You are a Pac-12 family. Your wife went to USC after Cal State Long Beach and you went to Stanford and your daughter went to Cal Berkeley ...
A: We have three daughters and they all either attended or will attend Cal.
My youngest daughter just graduated from high school and she'll be going up in a little more than a month. I don't remember a lot about Stanford, but I know it was a four-year course in hating Berkeley and USC.
Q: So it must be interesting on game day.
A: When my daughters were little, Freda was working in the USC Alumni office and she would get us tickets to the Trojans games. I would sit there all through the game making snide remarks to my daughters about USC. It would infuriate my wife. It later came back to bite me, though. Because Freda was working for USC, we could get free tuition for our daughters, but by then I had poisoned them so much about the school that they refused to go there.
Q: You've been involved in everything: a founder of Long Beach Heritage, St. Mary (Medical Center's) Board of Trustees, every single commission in Long Beach - and by the way, how come I can't get on any commissions?
A: If someone offered you a seat on a commission, would you take it?
Q: No, but that's not the point.
A: I have been involved in a lot, but the thing I'm most involved with is the Aquarium of the Pacific. I've been on the board there for something like 16 years. I've chaired its long- range planning committee since the beginning. I have great affection for the aquarium and I believe it's the preeminent cultural institution in Long Beach.
Q: How so?
A: It's the facilitator of conversation of not only the Pacific Ocean, but of Long Beach's association with the ocean. They have lectures in which some of the smartest people in the world come to talk about the issues that confront us. Long Beach needs to have more opportunities to have those conversations. It's a little surprising that the aquarium would be the place where they occur now, but it is. There's just no other place in town that I think does that. And there's also the incredibly progressive work that goes on with the animals there.
Q: Do you even want to monkey around with the dog-or-cat question? It's totally optional. It's starting to make some readers randomly vicious, I think.
A: I'm going to stay on the fence with that one. We have one cat and one dog, and I don't want to encourage either one of them to take out revenge on our carpet.

Man pinned by massive oak tree talks to 17-year old neighbor during ordeal
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
It's an incident officials are calling a tragic accident after a massive tree falls in Hanahan killing a man inside his home. It was a young neighbor who helped William Klein during the tragic event while the debris, which eventually caused his death, covered him from the wasted down.
It was massive willow oak tree estimated to weigh a about of 10-tons that smashed into 72-year old William Klein's house.
Responders say Klein was sitting in a chair in an upstairs den when the tree fell pinning him between the first floor and the upstairs ceiling. He was transported to Trident Medical Center where the Berkeley County Coroner said Klein was pronounced dead.
In the hours before that as crews worked to safely stabilize the area and remove Klein, those on scene say he was communicating and he told them his legs were broken below the knee. Another person who tried to calm him down was the daughter of his next door neighbor her mother, Kim Davidson spoke on her behalf.
"She kept him very calm and asked him immediately if she could pray with him and the last thing I heard her say to him was 'oh you were in the Navy for three years?', she was trying to keep in calm. He was in pain I mean it was like somebody-- get me out of here."
Responders and witnesses say it took a couple hours to get the area inside the home stable enough to get crews inside the home to remove Klein.
It's believed the recent heavy rains over the weekend caused the soil under the oak to weaken and topple the tree.

If the police give you a ticket for violating traffic laws (quite often for speeding), you may require the services of a traffic ticket lawyer (sometimes called a speeding ticket lawyer) to help you through traffic court. Traffic ticket lawyers know which people to talk to at court and the kind of deals they are willing to make. The traffic ticket lawyer will also know the specific types of proof the officer must submit to the court and when there is not enough information to support the traffic ticket.

On FOX, Michael Reagan and Peggy Noonan wrong on Texas redistricting
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
Wall Street Journal contributing editor Peggy Noonan and nationally syndicated conservative radio host Michael Reagan falsely defended the Texas redistricting plan engineered by U.S. House Majority leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) and ratified this year that resulted in Republicans gaining four seats in the U.S. House of Representatives in the November 2 election. Appearing separately on the November 3 edition of FOX News Channel's Hannity & Colmes, Noonan erroneously asserted that the Texas redistricting action was common, while Reagan falsely claimed that the Democrats always do the same thing when they are in power in California.
Noonan falsely suggested that the type of redistricting that occurred in Texas "always happens." But, as Reuters noted on October 18, DeLay's 2003 decision to redraw Texas -- after a court-drawn plan was adopted to conform with 2000 census data -- is very unusual: "Congressional districts usually are drawn once, early in the decade, right after the release of new U.S. census data." On May 14, 2003, Talking Points Memo blogger and journalist Joshua Micah Marshall noted that redistricting only immediately following a census has become a "firm political precedent."
Later on Hannity & Colmes, Democratic strategist Steve Murphy remarked that the Texas redistricting plan was a "scam." In response, Reagan incorrectly claimed: "The scam you're talking about goes on -- any time the Democrats control the state of California, as they do now, they do the same thing." Yet prior to the 2002 midterm elections, as the Associated Press reported on September 15, 2002, Democrats did not use redistricting to gain seats from Republican incumbents as Republicans did to Democrats in Texas in 2004: "When it came time for redistricting, they [California Democrats] decided to push for new boundaries that would allow them to hold onto their 32 seats and pick up the new seat awarded to California as a result of its population growth, rather than try to pick off more Republican incumbents."
As The Washington Post reported on October 19, the U.S. Supreme Court "order[ed] a three-judge district court to reexamine its January decision upholding the [Texas redistricting] plan," but "[t]he court's action will not affect the 2004 elections in Texas."

96: The Clot (Al-Aqat)
Science and History
Previous | Next
Science and History
Previous | Next
Surah 96, The Clot: Introduction"The Clot" (Al-Alaq) was the first surah that Muhammad (I'll just call him "Mo") claimed to receive from Allah. Mo was about 40 years old at the time (ca. 610 CE).
Here's the story from the Hadith (Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith - 6.478), as told by Aisha, who twelve years later became Mo's favorite wife. (Since Aisha was only nine years old when her marriage to the 52-year-old Mo was consummated, she wouldn't have yet been born when this story supposedly took place.)
While Mo was sleepting in the cave of Hira, an angel appeared to him in a dream and told him to read. Mo replied that he didn't know how to read. Then the angel forced him hard to the ground, so hard he could hardly stand it.
The commencement (of the Divine Inspiration) to Allah's Apostle was in the form of true dreams in his sleep, for he never had a dream but it turned out to be true and clear as the bright daylight. Then he began to like seclusions, so he used to go in seclusion in the cave of Hira where ... one day he received the Guidance while he was in the cave of Hira.
The angel released him and again told him to read. And Mo again told him that he didn't know how to read.
Then he released me and again asked me to read, and I replied, 'I do not know how to read.' Thereupon he held me again and pressed me for the second time till I felt distressed. He then released me and asked me to read, but again I replied, 'I do not know how to read.'
So the angel knocked him down a third time, pressing him so hard he could hardly stand it.
Thereupon he held me for the third time and pressed me till I got distressed, and then he released me and said, 'Read, in the Name of your Lord Who has created (all that exists), has created man out of a clot, Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous. Who has taught (the writing) by the pen, has taught man that which he knew not.'
And the words in bold became the first five verses in the Quran. (96:1-5)
Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth,
When Mo woke up from his dream, he was afraid he was either a poet or possessed. (He hoped he was possessed, though, because he really hated poets.) He was so upset that he decided to commit suicide by throwing himself off a cliff. (Ibn Ishaq, 106-7)
And I awoke from my sleep, and it was as though these words were written on my heart. (Now none of God's creatures was more hateful to me than an (ecstatic) poet or a man possessed: I could not even look at them. I thought, Woe is me, poet or possessed ... I will go to the top of the mountain and throw myself down that I may kill myself and gain rest.
So he went off to do that, but while he was climbing the mountain he heard a voice from the sky saying, "O Muhammad! Thou art the apostle of God and I am Gabriel."
So I went forth to do so and then when I was midway on the mountain, I heard a voice from heaven saying, "O Muhammad! thou art the apostle of God and I am Gabriel."
When he looked up he saw the angel Gabriel with one foot on each horizon. And no matter what direction Mo looked, there was Gabriel standing in front of him, with a foot on each horizon.
I raised my head towards heaven to see (who was speaking), and Lo, Gabriel in the form of a man with feet astride the horizon ... then I began to turn my face away from him, but towards whatever region of the sky I looked, I saw him as before.
After the vision, Mo returned to Mecca, but he still wasn't sure whether the horizon-straddling sky guy was Gabriel or a satan. Luckily, Khadija (Mo's first wife) knew how to find out.
She told him that the next time Gabe comes to visit, he should sit by her left thigh. So the next time he saw Gabe he sat by her left thigh. Then she asked Mo if he could see him. He said that he could.
Next Khadija told Mo to turn around and sit on her right thigh. He did that, and she asked him, "Can you see him?" He said, "Yes, I can still see him."
Then she told him to sit on her lap. When he did that, she asked if he could still see him. And, once again, Mo said, "Yes."
Finally, Khadija threw off her veil and "disclosed her form" while Mo was sitting in her lap, and said, "Can you still see him?" This time Mo said, "No."
From this test, Khadija knew for sure that Mo's imaginary friend was an angel and not a a satan.
She [Khadija] said to the apostle of God, 'O son of my uncle, are you able to tell me about your visitant, when he comes to you?' He replied that he could, and she asked him to tell her when he came. So when Gabriel came to him, as he was wont, the apostle said to Khadija, 'This is Gabriel who has just come to me.' 'Get up, O son of my uncle, she said, 'and sit by my left thigh'. The apostle did so, and she said, 'Can you see him?' 'Yes,' he said. She said, 'Then turn round and sit on my right thigh.' He did so, and she said, 'Can you see him?' When he said that he could she asked him to move and sit in her lap. When he had done this she again asked if he could see him, and when he said yes, she disclosed her form and cast aside her veil whil the apostle was sitting in her lap. Then she said, 'Can you see him?' And he replied, 'No.' She said, 'O son of my uncle, rejoice and be of good heart, by God he is an angel and not a satan.'
Now those of you who have been corrupted by Western influences may not understand this test. So let me explain it to you.
You see, if Mo's friend was a satan, he wouldn't mind hanging around when a woman took off her veil and started messing around with a man. In fact, he'd enjoy it. But not an angel. The sight of an unveiled woman would be so disgusting to an angel, that he'd be forced to leave -- which is what Mo's friend did. Therefore, Mo's mysterious imaginary friend must be an angel. QED.
So now we know for sure that the Quran (or at least the first five verses) was revealed by an angel and not a satan.
And yet, strangely, for all of Allah, Gabriel, and Mo's shenanigans, there's not much in this surah.
Here's a summary:
Humans were created from a clot.
Thy Lord ... createth man from a clot. 96:1-2
If you deny Allah, he'll grab you by the forelock and throw you in hell.
If he denieth (Allah's guidance) ... We will seize him by the forelock - The lying, sinful forelock - [and] We will call the guards of hell. 96:13-18
That's it. That's all Allah had to say in Surah 96.
Maybe he'll do better in his next revelation.

A man was shot Saturday when he tried to intervene in a robbery in Salt Lake City.
About 8:30 p.m., a man went into El Rey Del Pollo restaurant at 1320 S. Swaner Road and demanded money, said Salt Lake City police Lt. Josh Scharman. He apparently took some cash and fled, Scharman said.
An employee chased the man out of the door and enlisted the help of some patrons pulling into the parking lot, Scharman said. They joined in the foot chase.
North of the restaurant, the robber pulled out a gun and fired at his pursuers, Scharman said. One man was struck in the leg, and the others lost sight of the robber, Scharman said. A car was heard from behind a building nearby but wasn't seen.
The victim was taken to a hospital and was expected to survive.
The robber was described as a Latino in his early 20s, wearing a white jersey with black lettering or numbers, Scharman said.

Women and Gender Studies
Academic Year: 2009 – 2010
Women and Gender Studies is an interdisciplinary department that combines the substance and methodologies of many disciplines such as history, anthropology, sociology, communications, psychology, literature, and law, in the study of sex, gender, and sexuality with an emphasis on women and sexual minorities. Sex is the biological difference between male and female; gender is the meaning of biological difference — the stereotypes, assumptions, and expectations society attaches to difference. The study of sexuality includes identity, cultural practices, and institutions. To fully understand the complexity of human experience, sex, gender and sexuality must be analyzed together with race/ethnicity, class, culture, and nationality. With increasingly global perspectives, the goal of the WGS curriculum is to introduce students to basic approaches in a variety of fields so that they will be prepared for the challenges of working in coalition in the 21st century. Most WGS courses are interdisciplinary, cross-listed with other departments.
In the classroom, WGS faculty are committed to creating participatory learning environments. They emphasize student-centered and cooperative learning, critical thinking, openness to ideas and discussion, and respect for others. Students are encouraged to make connections between thought and action, the academy and the community, theory and practice. The department will provide interested students with opportunities for internships, community-based projects, and research.
Minor and Certificate Opportunities
Students in all programs may take WGS courses as electives or they may pursue a minor as defined below. We also offer a graduate certificate, which may be incorporated into a graduate degree or taken as a free standing certificate. See the Graduate Certificate section of this Guide for more information.
Graduate students enrolled in 400-level WGS courses will be expected to demonstrate graduate-level competencies (especially in communication, research, analysis, and integrative skills) and to complete extended and advanced projects and/or readings.
WGS minor and graduate certificate students must select an adviser from among the department faculty.
WOMEN and GENDER STUDIES MINOR
To earn a minor in Women and Gender Studies, students must complete a minimum of 15 semester hours. The program may approve the transfer of no more than two lower-division courses, and at least 7 hours must be upper-division course work taken at the University of Illinois at Springfield. Students must take at least one course in each area.
Subject Area
Course Choices
* WGS 133 Women and Gender in Mexico and the US (3 hr; Comparative Societies)
* WGS 301 ECCE: Women, Gender and Society (4 hr; US Communities)
Diverse Voices
* WGS 353 ECCE: Women Across Cultures (4 hr; Global Awareness)
* WGS 403 Women of Color and Minority Women (4 hr)
* WGS 466 Multicultural American Women's Literature (4 hr)
WGS 411: Feminist Theories (4 hr)

All substitutions must be approved by your WGS faculty advisor.
Degree Opportunities
Students can design their own degrees focusing on sex, gender and sexuality through the Liberal Studies Department (B.A.) or the Liberal and Integrative Studies Department (M.A.). Students create their own curriculum by working with a degree committee that includes WGS, LIS, LNT and other faculty and peers. Students have designed degrees combining the study of gender and sexuality in areas such as media, arts, social services, law, criminal justice, and mental health.

EGRP News Flash - May 21, 2012
Proposals Invited To Use Biospecimens from Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial
The Steering Committee for the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial's Etiologic and Early Marker Studies (EEMS) Program has announced a request for proposals from investigators who are interested in using biospecimens from the PLCO Trial for their research. The deadline for receipt of proposals is July 16, 2012.
The PLCO Cancer Screening Trial is sponsored and run by the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Division of Cancer Prevention (DCP), in collaboration with the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG).
What is PLCO?
The Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial is a large randomized controlled trial evaluating screening programs for these cancers. The PLCO Biorepository contains approximately 2.7 million biologic specimens, including blood specimens collected from intervention participants during their six trial screening years and buccal cell specimens collected from control participants.
How can I access PLCO biospecimens and what is 'EEMS'?
PLCO biospecimens are available to the entire scientific community. Access to the biospecimens is administered through The Etiologic and Early Marker Studies (EEMS) Program, a component of the PLCO Trial established to facilitate etiologic and early marker research using PLCO biospecimens. EEMS accepts proposal applications twice a year in June/July and December/January. More details about PLCO EEMS are available on the PLCO Web site. (You can request an account if you do not already have one.)
Does PLCO EEMS have tissue samples in addition to blood and buccal cell specimens?
Recent additions to the PLCO Biorepository include tissue microarrays (TMAs) created from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded pathology tissues. TMAs are currently available for colon cancer, colorectal adenoma, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and lung cancer. Ideally, TMA slides should be cut close to the time of laboratory analysis to preserve antigenicity. To minimize material loss, PLCO seeks multiple proposal applications so that slides can be cut for multiple projects at once. For additional information regarding the PLCO study, PLCO biospecimens, and TMAs, please log-in to the PLCO STaRS Web site.
Is funding provided?
PLCO biospecimens and associated data are provided upon approval of the proposal application. However, funding is not provided via the PLCO EEMS review process.
What is the PLCO EEMS application process?
Proposals will be accepted for the PLCO EEMS Winter review cycle between June 1, 2012 and July 16, 2012. Applications will be accepted until July 16, 2012. The EEMS application materials (the EEMS application forms, instructions, NIH biosketch template, confidentiality disclosure agreement (CDA), and the EEMS policy document), as well as general information regarding the EEMS review process can be found on the PLCO STaRS home page. Individuals who do not already have access to PLCO STaRS can self-register by clicking the Login button located on the upper right corner of the page. If you have any questions about registration or the PLCO STaRS Web site, you should contact the PAR PLCO Helpdesk or call (240) 314-2313.
Once your proposal is received, the EEMS Coordinating Center (Westat) will verify that all components are completed and forward the completed proposal packet to the EEMS Principal Investigators, the PLCO Project Officers, and Chief Statistician for an initial suitability review. This initial review will be completed by mid-August 2012; applicants will then be notified of the results of the suitability review. The EEMS Review Panel will then review and provide comments on all suitable proposals based on the study's significance, approach, innovation, compliance to PLCO priorities and policies, proposed statistical approach, proposed laboratory assays, and the qualifications of the investigator team. It is anticipated that this review will be completed by late-September 2012, contingent upon the quantity of proposals received. The EEMS Principal Investigators and the PLCO Project Officers will then make the final decision regarding all acceptable proposals based on input from the EEMS Review Panel.
EEMS proposals and additional materials must be submitted electronically through the online application form found on the PLCO STaRS Web site.
Confidentiality Agreements (CDA) should be sent to the following address:Bob Wagner
Technology Transfer Specialist
NCI Technology Transfer Branch
6120 Executive Boulevard, Suite 450
Rockville, Maryland 20852
Phone: (301) 496-0477
Fax: (301) 402-2117
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
What happens after my proposal is approved?
If your proposal is approved, you will have up to three years from the date of approval to request the shipment of samples and commence activities on your study; please note that an Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval letter, as well as an executed PLCO EEMS Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) will be required in most cases prior to the release of samples. If you are unable to request shipment of samples within this time frame due to lack of funding or other issues, please inform us. Otherwise, your application will be considered withdrawn and these samples will be released, allowing other investigators to submit proposals to use them. Similarly, you will be required to re-apply should you still wish to use these samples. Additionally, once you receive samples, you have two years to submit laboratory analysis results to IMS.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email or call, (301) 212-3723. Thank you for your time, and we wish you success in your PLCO-related studies.
