Morris and the Prince
Having just written a new guide to Kelmscott Manor, your diarist has a growing admiration for William Morris, whose country home this was. Morris was a true radical, and his ideas continue to reverberate, having now caused a rift between HRH The Prince of Wales and the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (the SPAB).
Morris founded the SPAB in 1877 to protect ancient buildings, like Kelmscott Manor, from over-restoration. The SPAB's manifesto, which every would-be member has to sign, is one of the best statements of conservation philosophy ever penned — remarkably, Morris scribbled it down on the back of an envelope as he travelled to Broadway with his family by horse-drawn carriage, angered at what he had just seen going on in the name of 'restoration' in Burford parish church.
Morris loved the accumulation of architecture from many periods that adds to the interest of so many churches. He firmly believed that additions to ancient buildings should be 'of their own time' and he deplored the mid-19th century habit of trying to copy the past, which he described as a 'kind of forgery'.
Prince Charles has equally strong views about architecture. In a foreword for the SPAB's Old House Handbook (a guide to repairing and caring for old buildings written by Roger Hunt and Marianne Suhr), he argued forcefully that historic buildings should be restored and extended using traditional styles, techniques and materials. The SPAB pointed out that this was inconsistent with its commitment to 'good, new design rather than reliance on past styles'. Prince Charles, believing that 'contemporary' is often synonymous with ugly and unsympathetic, took the view that he was being censored, withdrew the foreword and chose not to renew his Patronage of the SPAB when it expired last year.
Morris would have enjoyed this battle of ideas, and would be proud of his successors for sticking to his principles and theirs. Not for nothing are the trustees of the SPAB officially known as 'Guardians'.
The battle for the soul of Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square has become the setting for another clash of ideologies. National Gallery Director Nicholas Penny deplores the 'bloody awful' state of the square, and says that loud music and loutish behaviour are destroying the Gallery's tranquillity. Artist Antony Gormley, by contrast, relishes 'the clash of classical versus street culture' and says 'what you have in front of the gallery are the waves of real life washing against history'. He concedes, though, that Penny has a point in that 'silence and contemplation are necessary for engaging in beauty in all its forms: the livelier the street is, the more the silence of the National Gallery becomes precious'.
Which is precisely the problem: even more than the tide of litter and beer cans washing against the National Gallery's walls, and the people climbing the lions and the reliefs on Nelson's Column, Nicholas Penny deplores the way that amplified music from the square can be heard and felt in the galleries.
Stone on stone
The scene in the square was considerably calmer at 1:00 am in the morning of 29 July 2009 when archaeologist Mike Pitts (well know to CA readers as a former contributor and now editor of the CBA's British Archaeology magazine) became one of 2,400 'living artworks' to participate in Antony Gormley's One & Other project on the empty fourth plinth. As he was lifted on to the Aberdeen granite plinth, Mike used the opportunity to exhibit ten stone artefacts that represent key moments in British history. The earliest of Mike's symbolic stones was a flint flake from Pakefield, site of the earliest known occupation of Britain 700,000 years ago, and the most recent was 'Mia's stone', donated by Mike's two-year-old daughter and representing future generations. Read all about it (and listen to interviews that Mike gave to the BBC) on Mike Pitts' website (http://mikepitts.wordpress.com/the-plinth/).
And the fifth
Archaeologist Mark Horton reminds us that there was once a fifth plinth in Trafalgar Square, supporting a statue of Edward Jenner (1749—1823), the pioneer of smallpox vaccination and father of immunology, whose garden in Berkeley, Glos, Mark has been excavating for several summers looking for evidence of the Saxon royal minster. Mark is supporting a Downing Street petition (http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/Jenner2010/) calling for the statue of Jenner to be returned to the square from its exile in Kensington Gardens — it was moved there in the 1880s — in time for the 30th anniversary of the worldwide eradication of smallpox in 2010. 'Jenner,' says Mark, 'has saved more lives than anyone else in history.'
No more silly walks
Regular readers will know that your diarist relishes the excesses of Health and Safety and collects examples of their impact on all aspects of the heritage. Now 'Elfin Safety' has struck the very highest in the land: the centuries-old practice whereby ambassadors, servants and guests were expected to walk backwards when departing from a visit to the Queen has, to coin a phrase, hit the carpet, because royal aides fear that someone will fall over and sue Buckingham Palace for damages.
Your diarist rather assumed that someone who shows such deference to the Queen that they will risk tripping over a corgi or bumping into a table full of Sèvres porcelain, would also have the reverence to assume that any such accident was their own fault: to sue the palace does seem a might presumptuous. But, from now onwards, only two people will be expected to walk backwards as they exit the Queen's presence: the Marshal of the Diplomatic Corps and the Queen's Equerry — who will be given special training in 'walking backwards safely and discreetly' (and you thought the Ministry of Silly Walks was just a fiction).
An ancient falcon's nest and other tales of longevity
One of the great pleasures of the spring is the annual return of the swifts, swallows and martins whose remarkable navigational skills enable them to return to the same nesting sites generation after generation. Just how old some of these nesting sites can be was revealed when Kurt Burnham, of the University of Oxford, discovered a falcon's nest in Greenland that is 2,500-years-old. Three other nests, each over 1,000 years old, have been found on the same cliff-edge site, the evidence of their longevity coming from carbon dates obtained from a section of accumulated feathers and guano. Remarkably, these are not the oldest dated nests: carbon dating has also shown that snow petrels have returned to the same sites for 34,000 years, while Adélie Penguins have been hatching their eggs on the same rocky shores of the Antarctic's Ross Sea for 44,000 years.
By contrast, 'the world's oldest potted plant' is a mere stripling, at just 234 years of age. The Encephalartos altensteninii, a cycad native to southern Africa, was first planted at Kew in 1775 and has been growing at an average rate of 17mm a year. It has now reached some 4m in height and was recently moved because it had outgrown its pot. Kew staff said the long-lived plant is probably still only half way through its natural life.
In the same vein comes news of a 9,000-year-old beer from the Dogfish Brewery in Delaware. That's an awful long time to wait for your beer to brew, but in this case it is the recipe that is ancient, rather than the beer. Based on residues found by archaeologists in Neolithic jars at the village of Jiahu, in Henan province in central China, the beer is fermented for a month from a blend of rice, honey, grapes, hawthorn fruit and chrysanthemum flowers. Apparently the result is 'very smooth' and 'not too sweet'.
How many skulls did Oliver Cromwell possess?
Westminster Abbey suffered an infestation of carpet moths earlier this summer and so the rugs were moved into a deep freeze cabinet as an eradication measure. Their temporary removal produced an unexpected bonus for visitors who, for three months, were able to view the normally hidden slab that covers Oliver Cromwell's grave.
Cromwell was laid to rest in the abbey in September 1658, in a ceremony modelled on the funeral of James I. His perpetual rest was interrupted three years later when, after the Restoration, he was dug up and 'executed', then reburied in quicklime at the foot of the Tyburn gallows. But bits of Cromwell's body seem to have escaped the lime pit: an inventory entry records the donation of 'Cromwell's wart' to the Society of Antiquaries, though the wart itself has long since disappeared, as has a death mask and skull claimed as Cromwell's that was once part of the collection at the Ashmolean. According to tradition, his decapitated skull was stuck on a spike outside Westminster Hall for some 25 years after the 'execution' and was later retrieved by a sentry. This was later displayed for money in a London sideshow, but was probably not the skull that came to light in the 1990s in a family collection in Kent because here the skull had been pierced from above rather than impaled from within.
The skull with the best claim to be Cromwell's, according to former Ashmolean Keeper Arthur MacGregor, was exhibited at a meeting of the Society of Antiquaries in 1911, when it was said still to have part of a spike embedded in the bone. That skull was buried in 1960 in the courtyard of Cromwell's old college, Sidney Sussex at Cambridge, in an unmarked spot to dissuade souvenir hunters.

Discussion in 'Off-topic Zone' started by theogt, Jul 20, 2013.
We don't.
As long as they don't cast Ryan Gosling, I'm okay with that. Ironically, the only two actors I'll miss the most in a recast are Michael Caine's Alfred and Morgan Freeman's Fox.
I saw Idris Elba's name somewhere and I think he'd be a great, great Batman. I'm also pretty sure there would be riots in the streets if he were to get the part.
Bring back Michael Keaton if Batman needs to be older.
This shows one of the many key differences between Marvel and DC. Marvel changes with the times, DC is stuck in the 50's.
The concept of a secret identity was quaint up to about 30 years ago, but is now seen as mostly absurd. Marvel responded by virtually doing away with the concept of secret identities. Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, Daredevil, Hawkeye, Hulk all used to have secret alter-egos but now none of them do. But DC still holds on to the notion that a guy can put on a pair of glasses and completely fool everyone around him.
Ugh. You've got to be joking.
They're not going to make a movie adaptation of Dark Knight Returns, but if they did, then Bruce Willis would be the perfect Batman. Heck, he played a similar role already in Frank Miller's Sin City.
If they got a good writer, like Frank Miller, to put together a story, it would be a good movie. Unfortunately, however, I have no doubt whatsoever it will be a typical lame misunderstanding that leads the heroes to fight each other in the first half of the movie before teaming up to defeat the real enemy in the 2nd half.
That's probably the top reason why a Justice League movie would be an abysmal failure. DC's problem is that their most popular character, Batman, simply could never plausibly exist in the same arena as Superman. Then throw in another ridiculously overpowered character like Green Lantern, and now Batman is not even a boy among men, he's more like a flea among men.
OK except, using your analogy, how would Batman have helped fix that situation? Superman promised he would get the nuke headed for Hackensack and he threw it into space, so what's Batman going to do? Fly to California and throw that nuke into space also?
Look, it's not impossible, the Avengers balanced it quite well with Thor/Hulk and the useless Hawkeye. Maybe Clarke getting corrupted into the peanut flicking bad guy in 3 while Batman tries to stop him and talks him round could work, or maybe not. But at least they are trying. If they play Bats off a the psyco that has plan to beat all of the other memebers of the JLA that would be cool.
DC holds on to the notion that people don't expect a guy capable of flying around at super speeds, shooting lasers out of their eyes while being able to move mountains to even have an alter ego.
I think it can work, but it's going to be difficult.
I mean, even you mentioned Hawkeye was useless. Batman would essentially be Hawkeye, which is the problem. You can't have arguably your biggest name guy be rather useless.
Also the avengers tuned down how powerful Thor is. The first movie actually made him a bit weaker than he was in the comics (Thor is basically superman's equivalent), and then they tone him down even more for the Avengers. Outside of brawling with Banner, he didn't accomplish the same kind of feats in the Avengers as he did in 'Thor', became noticeably fatigued, and actually bled. Maybe they can do that with supes for this next film, but so far the bar was set pretty high.
I like Millers style, I just do not think it translates to big budget movies.
Sorry, but that's just weaksauce which does nothing to explain how people like Commissioner Gordon and Perry White are simply the biggest morons on the planet. (I'm not including Lois Lane in there because I've lost track of her relationship to Superman in the current iteration of the comic books)
I don't get why so many around here try and over think these things. It's stories and movies about superheros. They're not supposed to be plausible or make complete sense. Unless you believe that someone can actually have superhuman strength, can fly, and move faster than the speed of sound.
Also why wouldn't Batman work in a movie with superheros yet would in a comic or a cartoon? Is he less human and more powerful in written word and on cartoons? They played off very nicely in cartoons how Batman was an important part of the Justice League despite being the only one of the group that didn't have super powers.
I'm not sure how that would be any different in a movie form but to each their own I suppose.
For me personally the biggest reason I've always been a bigger fan of Batman than any of the others is the fact that he does what he does without the benefit of superpowers. I love the fact that everything he does, or accomplishes, is done from his own mind and with the help of the technology that is created by the money from his company. I like that he's a hero and does all those things without the benefit of knowing that he's stronger or faster than anyone else and without the safety net of knowing that the bad guys can't really kill him without some space rock.
To me the biggest thing that made Batman better than all the others was that he was actually risking himself in doing what is right while guys like Superman, with all their powers, aren't really taking any risks to their own well being. Hell he's faster, stronger, and invinsible so what exactly is heroic about what Superman does?
I'd personally love to see them make a movie with them where Batman is featured in a way that shows him off as good, or really better, than the rest because he accomplishes what he needs to without the aid of being a super being.
I'm not sure what you mean by that since he hasn't really had a big budget movie. He had a pair of low-to-medium budget movies which did quite well at the box office and were high quality films, each of which were stylistically a radical departure from the usual Hollywood nonsense.
Because in order for a movie to be good, it has to be internally consistent. People can handle the idea of a guy from another planet coming to Earth and having mind-blowingly incredible power since that's the premise of the film. What they cannot handle is establishing this supremely powerful individual and following it with the ridiculous inconsistency and plot hole that would accompany a storyline where a human being with no super powers whatsoever went toe to toe with him, even with all the gadgets at his disposal.
The Joker and Bane are great villains for a Batman film, but just wouldn't work in a Superman film, for what are hopefully obvious reasons.
I'm sorry but that's just being ridiculous. It's part of the storyline in the comics and I don't recall people crying about this notion. But if they put it in movie form they're going to have a hard time with it? I guess I just don't get that notion.
Sorry, but just because something works in comic books does not mean it will work on the big screen. A movie is going to be held to higher standards and is going to have to appeal to a wider audience than the comic fanboys.
Just because he's British doesn't mean people will throw a fit. I mean, Bale was British and people loved him as Batman!
In all seriousness though, Idris Elba is awesome, but I think there's been more speculation on whether he'd accept the role for John Stewart (Green Lantern) later on.
They could handle Hawkeye and the Black Widow in the Avengers.

A week after hosting five-stars Antonio Conner, Matthew Thomas, and Laremy Tunsil along with four-stars Jaynard Bostwick, Dee Liner, and Tim Williams, the Crimson Tide will have more elite talent on their campus this weekend.
Like a week ago, Alabama will host three five-star prospects for official visits. This week, former Alabama commitment Reuben Foster, Montravius Adams, and Vonn Bell will head this visitor list.
It doesn't stop there.
Alabama commitment Anthony Averett will be on campus and two UA targets will be there as well in four-star running back Alvin Kamara, one of the best in Tennessee Jason Carr, who is committed to Tennessee, and fast rising athlete Eddie Jackson. The Crimson Tide just offered Jackson, an athlete out of Lauderdale Lakes, Fla. last week as a cornerback.
Last week, Alabama picked up a commitment from Tim Williams a day after he returned from his trip to Tuscaloosa, so follow BamaMag.com for the latest.
A lot of talent will be one state over from Alabama in Mississippi this weekend too. Both Mississippi State and Ole Miss have some of their top targets scheduled to visit.
Starting with Ole Miss, they will have a four-star prospect scheduled to be on their campus and he is committed to another school.
Austin Golson is an offensive tackle that is committed to Florida State and he is scheduled to be in Oxford. Christian Morris is an offensive tackle that is committed to UCLA, and Jordan Wilkins is a running back that is committed to Auburn, both could visit this weekend or next weekend.
That group will be joined by plenty of other prospects including new Rebel Marcus Robinson a number of other Ole Miss commitments.
OMSpirit.com is the site to stay on for the latest Rebel recruiting news.
Most of Mississippi State's visitors this weekend will arrive as Bulldog commitments, but a duo from Immokalee, Fla. will likely receive a lot of attention.
Mackensie Alexnader is one of the top corners in the country and he will be at MSU along with his brother Mackenro Alexander. He is a safety. The two would like to play together, so getting on campus at the same time is big from the Mississippi State coaching staff.
To get all the updates on Mississippi State recruiting, go to Gene'sPage.com.
Another SEC school is having a big recruiting weekend and that is Florida.
They went to work on the top prospect in the country over the last month and they have done enough to get him on campus this weekend. Robert Nkediche confirmed with Scout earlier in the week that he is set to take an official visit to Florida. This will be his first official visit. LSU was the school he planned to visit on this date not too long ago, but they may get a visit from him on February 2.
After visiting Florida State a week ago, Auburn commitment Tashawn Bower will visit Florida this weekend. Since the coaching change at Auburn, Bower has taken a look at some other schools.
Two more prospects are scheduled to visit UF and they Florida commitment Antonio Riles, and former LSU commitment Kennard Swanson.
Keep it locked on FightinGators.com for the latest on these visits.
Three of Miami's top targets will be in Coral Gables, Fla. this weekend and they are running back Alex Collins, defensive tackle Keith Bryant, and offensive guard Denver Kirkland.
Collins is a five-star and he is considered the top running back in the Southeast by Scout and he is a former UM commitment. Bryant is also a former Hurricane commitment and this defensive tackle has always loved Miami.
Kirkland is from Miami, so he is right around the corner from the UM campus.
Some of the Miami commitments will join this trio on campus this weekend too.
Stay tuned to CanesTime.com for all Hurricane athletics and recruiting coverage.
AUTigers.com provides great coverage of the Auburn Tigers and you want to keep a close eye on that site this weekend and early next week because they have some top targets visiting.
Antonio Conner heads that list, he is a five-star safety out of Mississippi. He visited Alabama last weekend and he will visit Ole Miss next weekend.
A couple of four-stars out of the Sunshine State will be in town as well. Florida State commitment Ira Denson, an offensive tackle, will be there as well as wide receiver Taj Williams.
De'Runnya Wilson is a two-sport star out of Birmingham, Ala. that picked up an AU offer shortly after Gus Malzahn took over and he will be on campus as well.
A couple of four-star prospects out of Florida will be at Clemson. Quarterback Asiantii Woulard and wide receiver James Clark plan to check out the Tigers. Woulard is a former South Florida commitment. The No. 4 offensive guard in the country is Tyrone Crowder and he will be at Clemson this week as well. They are thought to be the frontrunner.
Plenty of other top prospects out of the south will be on the road visiting schools this weekend and Laremy Tunsil is one of those. The top offensive tackle in the country will be visiting Georgia this weekend.
Alabama commitment Altee Tenpenny will be at Arkansas this weekend. There has been a lot of chatter about his commitment to the Tide, so this is a big visit to the Arkansas coaching staff.
One of the best in Tennessee is Corn Elder and he will be in Nashville this weekend visiting Vanderbilt.
Oregon will host Zach Cunningham, a linebacker out of Alabama. He will likely choose Auburn or Oregon when all is said done.
Tight end Travis Johnson, a former Miami commitment will visit Missouri this weekend. He was at Cincinnati last weekend.
Florida Linebackers Jermaine Grace and Keith Kelsey will visit Louisville. The Cardinals has a lot of Florida talent on their roster and they'd love to add these two.
Lorenzo Woodley will take an official visit to Cincinnati.
Former Clemson commitment David Kamara originally planned to visit LSU this weekend, but he decided Wednesday that he would be visiting Kentucky.

Silent Treatment BackFired
Summary: There's this girl... She used me like a tool, I got perturbed, and shut her out. But I must have done it wrong. Cause I'm wanting to get back to funny, cocky, joking around with her. And I think she is quieter than ever.
Long Story: There's this girl... I've been hot for since the first class we had together. Since this is such a small school, we have a class together every semester.
Last semester we were rolling. We were laughing and joking around everyday, on IM or group project meetings or where ever.
Well at the end of the semester I felt tooled, like I do the end of every semester. And I usually forget about it over break, and start all over again the next semester. But this time I was pissed. So I shut her out. Over break, nothing.
Now this is probably where I began to go wrong. When school started, I set IM to be invisible to her. I figured that, if she couldn't see me, she couldn't ask me for anything. But sometimes she would chat to me anyway. And one girl from last semester's group project, we had all become somewhat friends, so I would invite her to go do stuff. But she would invite the girl I was pissed at. And the three of us hung out. And of course the girl I am pissed at and I have a class together, so we talk after class. But deep down, I was still pissed at this girl.
Now last weekend she had an apartment party. I went cause I wanted to see how she is with her other friends. After the party, she drove me home, and I thought this was a good time to talk. So I told her I was pissed at her. I felt like Shiite afterwards. But a couple days later, I felt relieved and wanting to chat and joke with her.
But now I feel like she is mad at me, or is giving me the silent treatment. And I am totally missing how we were joking around last semester, and wondering if we are ever going to get back to that.
Now see, isn't she supposed to have been feeling shut out from me? Wasn't she supposed to try to fix things with me?
Maybe she didnt figure out I was mad at her. Maybe I didnt let the shut out run long enough.

She didn't feel the "freeze out" with you because she wasn't attracted to you. You say the two of you played around and joked and had fun, but you probably didn't build any sexual tension between the two of you.
Did you kino?
Did you qualify?
You ended up in the dreaded "friend zone". She most likely sees you as a creep now. She's not giving you the "silent treatment", she is simply not talking to you. You could move away and she would not care. You were overly reactional to her actions=beta male.
You can not be reactional to what she does, it means that she has control over you which=beta male. Try working on your kino escaltion and qualifying the target; those will build the sexual tension you will need to have her attracted to you.
Silent Treatment BackFired
I think she has been qualifying to me. Like last semester, the other girl in the group bought a new jacket. I was just showering her with compliments. The target was like, "my jacket has that too. See." And anytime the obstacle talks, the target would interrupt. Actually, anytime I walk by the target, and she is talking to someone else, she will stop talking to them, and start talking to me. And she won't go back to talking to them.
Silent Treatment BackFired
Sounds like she was interested. You could have rewarded her for her subtle ioi's.
Silent Treatment BackFired
any chances of turing it back around?
any ideas of how to get back what i threw away?

Dr. Elisabeth Merrill and Dr. Kim Tran: William F. Ross, M.D., Scholarship Award in Family Medicine
By Remekca Owens
Dr. Elisabeth Merrill and Dr. Kim Tran's commonalities do not end with them being dual recipients of the 2014 William F. Ross, M.D., Scholarship Award in Family Medicine. They have both made caring for others, especially those in dire need, a lifelong effort.
During their time at UT Southwestern Medical School, Dr. Merrill and Dr. Tran both have utilized their compassion and leadership skills to serve families in Dallas and in impoverished countries around the world.
The Ross Award, named after the Chair of Family and Community Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center from 1984 to 1993, includes a $1,000 scholarship from the Dallas chapter of the Texas Academy of Family Physicians Foundation.
Dr. Elisabeth Merrill
Dr. Merrill's journey to UT Southwestern has been a global one. Born in Alaska, Dr. Merrill spent her childhood in England, Colombia, and Kuwait, highlighted by annual family visits to Puerto Rico. She returned to the U.S. to earn her bachelor's degree in molecular biology from Princeton University, but she considers her stay in Dallas to be the most challenging and rewarding.
"I loved my time here at UT Southwestern," said Dr. Merrill. "Academically, it is very tough. But the faculty really takes care of the students. That's what makes the difference."
An only child, Dr. Merrill's travels were the result of her father's profession as an engineer in the oil production industry. Her mother retired as an immunology and microbiology researcher from UT M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
"I always knew I would end up in a science-related career because of my exposure to my parents' professions, and I quickly discovered that I enjoy the patient interaction that comes with being a doctor," Dr. Merrill said. Her childhood experiences gained from moving to a different country every four years also would serve as the source of her passion for global health care.
That interest was solidified after participating in UT Southwestern's one-year International Medical Exchange Program (IMEP) after her third year of medical school. Through a partnership with the Université de Paris Descartes, the IMEP allows students to train in Paris, as well as a developing country anywhere in the world. Dr. Merrill chose the West African countries of Senegal and Burkina Faso.
"My time in Africa was amazing," said Dr. Merrill. "I completed rotations in infectious diseases and Ob/Gyn while I was there, and I can't wait to go back."
This fall, Dr. Merrill will begin her residency in family medicine at Exempla Saint Joseph Hospital in Denver. She most enjoys the holistic approach of family medicine, which allows physicians the opportunity to provide a wide range of medical services to patients.
While at UT Southwestern, Dr. Merrill also volunteered in the Monday Clinic and completed the Community Action Research Track, a coordinated program of instruction, electives, ambulatory care rotations, and service-learning opportunities completed over four years.
Through these experiences, medical students contribute to improving health in the underserved communities where they train. In the future, she plans to utilize her experiences and clinical expertise in both a community-based and a global health care practice.
"Dr. Merrill's international experiences have solidified her belief in the importance of primary care and family medicine," said Dr. Dan Sepdham, Associate Professor of Family and Community Medicine. "She has shown remarkable resiliency and determination by stepping outside the normal comfort zone of most medical students."
In between traveling and her studies, Dr. Merrill makes time for reading and dancing – another reflection of her global roots. "I did ballet as a kid, some flamenco and belly dancing in undergrad, grew up Latin dancing with my family, and did Scottish country dancing abroad. Now, I try to make it to contra dances with friends," she said.
Dr. Kim Tran
Dr. Tran's love for science, lifelong willingness to serve others, and desire to empower underserved communities to take control of their health has led her to a career in family medicine.
A native of Vietnam, Dr. Tran and her family moved to Arlington, Texas, when she was 10 years old. During high school, she spent her free time volunteering for city clean-up and gardening projects, and later in college expanded her service to serving food at area homeless shelters. However, the most impactful experience was a two-part spring break mission trip to Nicaragua she embarked upon while earning her bachelor's degree in biology from Texas Christian University.
"I have always enjoyed volunteer work, but Nicaragua showed me that I could combine my love for medicine and science with opportunities to really change people's lives," Dr. Tran said. Upon returning to the U.S., she and her mission group raised funds for clean water projects, home building assistance, and school supplies for children living in the local villages.
After deciding to combine her medical knowledge with outreach, Dr. Tran ventured on several international health tours with the faith-based humanitarian organization Vietnam Village Health, as well as the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine. During her trips to Vietnam, El Salvador, and Cambodia, she served on a team providing medical care in churches that had been converted into makeshift medical clinics.
She found other opportunities to serve during her time as a student by participating in UT Southwestern-based community outreach projects such as United to Serve, DFW Hepatitis B Project, as well as the Family Medicine Interest Group and the American Medical Women's Association.
"Dr. Tran's leadership as co-president of the Family Medicine Interest Group has been key to its success this year," said Dr. Sepdham. "She is a tireless proponent of family medicine, and I have no doubt this enthusiasm will spill over to her patient care as a resident."
In her spare time, she is an avid cook. "I spend countless hours watching the Food Network, and I cook a lot when I get stressed," Dr. Tran said. "Of course, my roommate loves it when I'm stressed."
After completing her residency in family medicine at Methodist Charlton Medical Center in Dallas, she envisions a practice that allows her to work in the U.S. and travel abroad, continually providing an outlet for her global health care passion.

Vancouver, Canada (SPX) May 28, 2013
A University of British Columbia engineer and a team of U.S. researchers have made a breakthrough utilizing spray-on technology that could revolutionize the way optical lenses are made and used.
Kenneth Chau, an assistant professor in the School of Engineering at UBC's Okanagan campus, is a key investigator among colleagues at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Maryland. Their work - the development of a flat lens - is published in the May 23 issue of the journal Nature.
Nearly all lenses - whether in an eye, a camera, or a microscope - are presently curved, which limits the aperture, or amount of light that enters.
"The idea of a flat lens goes way back to the 1960s when a Russian physicist came up with the theory," Chau says. "The challenge is that there are no naturally occurring materials to make that type of flat lens. Through trial and error, and years of research, we have come up with a fairly simple recipe for a spray-on material that can act as that flat lens."
The research team has developed a substance that can be affixed to surfaces like a glass slide and turn them into flat lenses for ultraviolet light imaging of biological specimens.
"Curved lenses always have a limited aperture," he explains. "With a flat lens, suddenly you can make lenses with an arbitrary aperture size - perhaps as big as a football field."
While the spray-on, flat lens represents a significant advancement in technology, it is only an important first step, Chau says.
"This is the closest validation we have of the original flat lens theory," he says. "The recipe, now that we've got it working, is simple and cost-effective. Our next step is to extrapolate this technique further, explore the effect to the fullest, and advance it as far as we can take it."
The technology could change the way imaging devices like cameras and scanners are designed.

My family spent the day at a barbeque. Maybe yours did, too. But if you live anywhere along the Gulf Coast, I wonder, does it feel right to go to the beach on this Memorial Day weekend? Is it even safe? Kerry Sanders reports that people did get out to the shore today, but beaches were closed in the area nearest the spill. Kerry is going to tell us tonight about the potential health risks-- not just for all those crews on cleanup duty (who did not get a day off today), but for everyone living near the site. And when does it end? Anne Thompson will help us understand exactly what BP will do next to try and stop the flow and why it could mean even more oil gushing into the Gulf in the short term.
If you have been out grilling, we'll try to catch you up on another big story today. We woke up to news that Israeli commandos had boarded a flotilla filled with activists bound for Gaza. There were statements of condemnation from pro-Palestinian governments. The White House expressed "deep regret" over the loss of life but stressed the need to learn all the facts.
Of course we haven't lost sight of what this day is all about. Last night my kids (ages four and seven) asked me what "memorial" meant. We had a nice talk about service to our nation and the people we honor today. They understood when they saw the little flags in front of the graves at Arlington National Cemetery on the Today show. And tonight I'm going to make sure they see the piece by Jim Miklaszewski about the mementos families leave behind in Section 60 and a group trying to make sure those items are preserved.
I'm very happy to join the NBC family officially tonight. I hope you'll join us for the broadcast. Brian will be back again tomorrow, reporting live from the Gulf Coast.

UPDATE 5:02 ET to correct Mr Bean's Mille Miglia ride.
British comic actor Mr. Bean -- real name Rowan Atkinson -- escaped serious injury in a crack-up last night but his rare and nearly priceless McLaren F1 supercar was not so lucky.
The Guardian newspaper in the U.K. reports that Atkinson, a car nut and car collector, was released from the hospital today after treatment for a minor shoulder injury, but that the maroon McLaren is headed to the factory for rebuilding.
It may take a while for the wounds to Atkinson's pride to heal -- he apparently spun out on a wet road last night and hit a tree and lamp post, the Guardian reported.
His McLaren is one of the just 106 F1's built by McLaren from 1993-98. It was the first production road car built with a carbon fiber monocoque chassis and was the brainchild of engineer Gordon Murray. It also remains one of the fastest production cars, with a top speed of more than 240 mph and a 3.2-second 0-to-60 acceleration. The F1 was the last road car built by McLaren, which has just unveiled a new one, the MP4-12C.
And it was a costly crack-up for Atkinson if the car can't be fixed -- an F1 sold at auction in London in 2008 for more than $4 million.
The Guardian reported that Atkinson bought the McLaren in 1997 for a reported 650,000 British pounds (we've no clue how much this would be in today's dollars) as a reward for the success of his Mr Bean film. It said that a few weeks ago, after topping the celebrity (in a reasonably priced car) leader board on BBC's Top Gear, he defended the F1 to cranky host Jeremy Clarkson, saying: "You've got to live with it. I have lived with it for 14 years, I've done a lot of miles in it, I've done 37,000 miles – which for a McLaren is a lot."
The paper said Atkinson, who drove a 1939 BMW 328 in this year's Mille Miglia, also races cars from his collection, which includes a 1964 Ford Falcon (that U.K. Falcon is the nostalgic equivalent there of a 1960s GTO in the U.S.), a 1980s Aston Martin V8 Zagato, an Audi A8, a 1958 AC Bristol and -- a Honda Civic Hybrid.

truth prevails
1 866 MediaNet

is a subject highly interesting and significant in various aspects.
Particularly in perspective of that misunderstanding which exists in
the minds of our Western brothers. Those who have not studied Islam
through its original sources or have seen it through some wrong
The word
Islam is derived from the word "Salama", which means
Peace, Safety, Security and Submission. When we look at some of the
fundamental aspects of the Islamic culture, we can easily understand
that the nature of Islam is peace.
example: When two Muslims meet, they greet each other with the words
"Assalam O Alaikum", (May peace be upon you). The
concluding words of the Islamic prayer are: "Assalam O Alaikum
Warah Matullah", (May peace and blessings of Almighty God be
upon you). The welcoming words in the life hereafter for every
believer as well as the name for paradise as stated in the Holy
Quran are the words of peace. The words that Holy Prophet Muhammad
(peace and blessing be upon him) recommended to recite after every
prayer are: "O Lord You are The Peace, and peace originates
from You, and peace returns to You, O our Lord we want a life of
peace, And give us permission to enter into the house of
peace." These are just few of the many examples to substantiate
the nature of Islam.
are 3 basic things in connection of Islam to be understood. The
first is faith, the second is Practice and the third is the higher
stage of excellence (spiritual perfection). Faith is known as Iman,
which means peace. Practice is known as Islam, which also means
peace. Spiritual excellence is known as Ahsan, which translates to
peace and mercy.
The Holy
Prophet (pbuh), while defining a Muslim as a believer stated:
"A believer is a one who is so peaceful for others that he is
known to be trustworthy as far as their lives, holdings and
properties are concerned. He should be a peaceful and trustworthy
man among the society. Only he deserves to be declared as a
Again it
is stated, Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) vowed: "By God he is
not a believer, he is not a believer, he is not a believer, the one
who could not provide peace and security to his neighbours."
Not a Relgion: In order to understand the relevance and the link
between Islam and Politics we must first understand that Islam is
not a religion. It is rather a "Deen". The Arabic word
"Deen" maybe translated into "Religion" in the
English dictionaries, but it is quite different from the English
connotation "Religion".
deals with the spiritual, moral, ethical, ritualistic and
theological aspects, along with the acts of faith and with the
reckoning of the Day of Judgment. Its primary concern is placed on
how the spiritual link and relationship is to be established between
a man and his Creator.
Deen is quite different. It is concerned with the whole entire
conduct of life. Whether spiritual or temporal, religious or
secular, domestic or societal, moral or material, social or
cultural, economic or political, individual or collective, rather
national or international. Hence, Deen is a totality whereas
religion is a part-and-parcel of Deen.
non-Islamic societies, there are different sources for Law,
different sources for Morality and different sources for Religion.
But as far as Islam is concerned, its morality, its laws, its
culture, its politics, its economic affairs, its domestic affairs,
its civil affairs, its social matters, its matrimonial matters, all
originate from the same source, and this comprehensiveness of the
source converts Islam into a Deen.
can a 1400 Year old system solve the problems of Today?
question arises that if Islam is a totality dealing with all the
aspects of human life, how can it be possible for it to keep up with
constant changes, whether social, political, environmental,
demographical, scientific, intellectual, legal or economic, going on
all over the world? How is it possible that a Deen be sufficient in
fulfilling the needs and requirements of today? How can a Deen which
was revealed 1400 years before fulfill the developing changes in the
modern era?
In order to meet with the changing requirements of the human life at
social and global levels, Islam provides a process of dynamics and
evolution. A developmental and re-constructive process in its
teachings. This is technically known as "Ijtihad" and
"Ijmah". Ijtihad is a deductive and re-constructive
process of reasoning and interpretation. Ijmah is the collective
aspect of the deductive and interpretative process. So through Ijmah
and Ijtihad the dynamics of Islam is regulated. This is how it
competes with the developmental requirements of contemporary eras
and meets with the changing contemporary situations of the world.
Islam is a totality, it covers the whole conduct of human life and
undertakes the responsibility to fulfill all of the needs of the
human personality. All of the below requirements must be fulfilled
inorder to bring up a balanced personality.
2. Socio-Biological
3. Socio-Economic
4. Psychological
5. Sytical
6. Intellectual
is the basis of the link between Islam and Politics?
needs the establishment of a proper and just socio-economic and
political order in the society so that a complete environment is
provided for the upbringing of a balanced personality in the
society. This is why Islam is not only a charter of divine spiritual
guidance for individuals, it is a well coordinated system of beliefs
and practices. Islam at the same time is a fully integrated
philosophy of spiritual and secular aspects of the needs. It is at
the same time a comprehensive code of human conduct, and a profound
basis of a just socio-economic and political order of the society.
Life of Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh):
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)"s life can be divided into two
i) Meccan Period,
ii) Medinan Period
Meccan Period
In the 13 years of his Meccan period he concentrated on the
religious and spiritual activities.
Medinan Period
After migration to Medina he started his political life
accompanied with the religious and spiritual activities.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had established this link between Islam and
Politics during his lifetime.
first step Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) took in linking Islam and
Politics was that he gave the constitution of Medina and established
the very first Islamic state in the form of a federation. This was
the first written, regular constitution on which a state was
practically regularized and various portions of the state regulated.
In this sense, this was "The First" practical, written
constitution of the world. This was the constitution, which provided
the guarantee of fundamental human rights in our history.
concept of fundamental human rights was introduced to the West at
the time of French Revolution and achieved its final perfection in
the form of a charter of human rights through UNO. However, the
basic charter of human rights was systematically provided by Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) through the charter of Medina, the constitution of
Medina and latterly through his last sermon of his last Hajj, which
became the charter of human rights and obligations. After
establishing a federation, he established the first Islamic state of
Medina through that constitution.
he entered into a political alliance with other communities and
political entities, which existed in those days in the form of
tribes, including them in this political community known as "Ummah",
"The Society".
Third step taken by Holy Prophet (pbuh) was the introduction of a
welfare state. He created a welfare based society through
establishing an order of social brotherhood. Holy Prophet (pbuh)
established a social brotherhood system in the form of "Moakhaat"
in order to resolve the economic deadlock of the needy and the poor
in the society. For the first time in the history of mankind, an
idea of sharing of the poor and the wealthy was introduced along
with the idea of circulation of wealth.
fourth step taken by Holy Prophet (pbuh) was the legislation and the
systemization of the political order.
the divine law protected each and every section of the human
society. A full fledged system and a constitution was given by Holy
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
are specific fundamental, political and constitutional principles,
which were provided by Islam. The Islamic political system exists
without rigidity. It consists of dynamics, evolution, adjustments
and adaptability from time to time, in order to meet with the
changing circumstances of the society. Islam is a dynamical process
and an evolutionary system.
of Islamic Teachings:
There is absolutely no room for dictatorship, no place for monarchy
or martial law in Islam. If a martial law dictator claims that he
will present an Islamic martial law - he is nothing but fraud.
Islamic system is based on nothing else but democracy.
Prescribing and promoting of the democratic political system and
democratic culture.
Establishment of a parliament. Not the nominated "Shoorah"
as it used to be in Pakistan some years before. It must be an
elected and chosen parliament representing the people. In the days
of Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) there existed both a house of
commons and a house of experts known as "Mujlisay Aam" and
"Mujlisay Khaas".
Abolition of prerogatives. The Islamic political system does not
find any place for special or privileged classes. Each and every
person is equal in the eyes of the law.
Guarantee of fundamental human rights. The rights for the protection
of life, property, business, honour, reputation, freedom of

It would
be a good aspect of mentioning that up till the time of Holy Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) the international law that existed in those days
asked for decapitation and beheading of the prisoners of war. It was
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) who declared the killing and beheading of
the prisoners of war to be prohibited. He gave them rights and
liberated them.
Guarantee of human dignity and equality with discouragement of
slavery and forced labour. There is no difference of race or colour
or language in the eyes of Islam. Now, in our modern society we are
fighting against distinctions of race and colour and facing many
problems with this issue. Islam provided this progressive
revolutionary idea of equality of mankind 1400 years ago. He himself
was an Arab but Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) declared:
is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab, or of a non-Arab over
an Arab, of white over a black or black over a white. All are

Guaranteed protection of rights of minorities and their religious

has always condemned it.
is not the case of religion, it is neither Islamic nor Jewish nor

Hi Gary,
I'll bite on this one. How well it scales depends more on how many
documents rather than sites. For example, my site has something like
25,000 pages and htdig does a great job. I know others are indexing much
more than that, I don't know what kind of hardware they are using.
When indexing, it is possible to merge separate digs into one large
database. It's all a matter of planning and reading the fine print in the
documentation (which is excellent).
Building a scaling solution is always very iffy and challenging, but I
think with htdig you've got a great start.

Christina Heestand considers her son to be a miracle. Heestand became pregnant when she was 16, after her very first time being sexually active. Six months after her son was born, Heestand was called back after a routine checkup because some abnormal cells were discovered on her cervix in a pap test.
"I tell him that all the time -- he's my miracle baby -- and he knows it," Heestand said.
Further testing confirmed that Heestand had cervical dysplasia cells on her cervix. Human papilloma virus (HPV) causes cervical dysplasia. Unchecked, the abnormal cells can spread and turn into full-blown cancer, moving to other organs, such as the bladder and kidneys, eventually leading to death.
"It's always on my mind. It is my biggest fear that it's going to turn into cervix cancer," Heestand said.
In Heestand's case, the cells were discovered early and have thus far prevented cancer from popping up. Every six months to a year, she must take another pap test. Sometimes, those tests results reveal more abnormal cells.
"I just know that when I get that phone call telling me 'You need to come back,' I come back," she said.
Heestand said she was lucky that the cells were discovered as early as they were. Most young women do not know the importance of getting a pap test. During January's Cervical Health Awareness Month, Heestand and Tina White, chapter leader of the Alliance-area National Cervical Cancer Coalition and Celebrating Stephanie, hope to spread awareness and encourage women to be proactive with their cervical health and regularly get pap tests.
"The norm is 21 (years old) where we live. There is a lot of places it's 25, and by the time it's caught, it's just too late for some women," White said of pap tests. "We're seeing women dying a lot sooner of cervical cancer, which is just senseless, because it's the one cancer we know what causes it, we can treat it, we can cure it, but we just have to be really proactive like Christina's been."
When Heestand was a teenager, the new Gardasil shot was not an option available to young women. Had it been around when she was younger, it is something she would have considered so she never would have had to be in the situation she is now.
White knows that there's controversy surrounding the shot, but considers it to be no different than any other new vaccine.
"They talk about how a million people are helped and maybe one person has a reaction to it," White said. "It's just like anything else that's new and being researched."
White believes that everyone should have the information about the shot and make their own decisions.
The lack of awareness of cervical health issues seems to be related to a stigma surrounding the virus that causes cervical cancer in most cases, though there are a small number of cases of cervical cancer that are not caused by HPV.
HPV is a sexually transmitted disease, and for that reason, Heestand and White consider it a taboo subject among some.
"When people don't understand it, they just think, 'Oh, it's this sexual thing,'" White said.
The virus is carried by a male and is passed to women during intercourse. It can lay dormant for 10 to 20 years in some instances and can arise later on in a marriage.
For a while, Heestand wasn't comfortable talking about it.
"I also thought, it's my own fault. I did it. I was the one that was stupid and had sex at 16 and got pregnant. I caused it myself," Heestand said. "I didn't look at it as coming from the male partner. Even the men, they should have a test where they can go and find out if they have it because it shouldn't just be put on us."
Recently though, Heestand became more comfortable discussing cervical dysplasia and HPV with the aid of Celebrating Stephanie, a nonprofit formed to help women, family members and caregivers with the personal issues related to cervical cancer and HPV and promote prevention through education while honoring the memory of Stephanie Bryant, a young mother who lost her battle with cervical cancer in October 2012.
Heestand encourages more young women to take cervical health seriously and to get pap tests often.
"Girls do need to know. This is not something to play around with," Heestand said. "At any point in time, mine could change and there would be nothing I could really do."
White added that cervical cancer is preventable, if only people know to take extra care. She noted that some women get busy with family and write off symptoms as normal, but she encourages women to take the time and get their pap tests to be sure.
Heestand has had the cells on her cervix frozen and part of her cervix removed in an effort to stop the spreading. For some women, initial treatment is enough and the cancer will not continue to spread, but for others, like Heestand, it does come back.
She stays on top of it and is sure to do whatever she needs to in order to prevent spreading. For her, the motivation to take care of her cervical health is her children. "My babies are my life, and if I'm not here to take care of them, who's going to?" Heestand said.
Just like every woman is, I was shocked when I found out that I had HPV and Cervical Dysplasia. If someone had told me this when I was diagnosed, my life and healing process would have been so much easier and less stressful!
When I got the news, I did research every day until my eyes hurt. I read blogs, books and talked to everyone. Even with the incredible support of my family, friends and boyfriend, I was so lost about what to do. The standard medical protocol, as you probably know, is to do a Leep procedure. This did not feel right to me; I did not like the idea of having the end of my cervix shaved off. What I didn't know is that just like the standard MEDICAL protocol (Leep), there is also a standard treatment with Cervugid Ovules (vaginal suppository). Of course you should choose what feels right to YOU, but for me, this was the answer, and what a relief it was to find the answer! This is the treatment that gynecologists all over the Europe and USA are recommending to their patients with cervical dysplasia and HPV high risk and they have been for years. In fact, shortly after I discovered this treatment option, I spoke to my aunt who said she had it done this treatment with Cervugid Ovules few years ago and she was cured of Cervical HPV.
Immediately following this news, I underwent treatment with Cervugid Ovules recommended by my obgyn. First I took 3 boxes of Cervugid Ovules with break between them 7 days and after 6 months another 3 boxes. This treatment is designed to treat Cervical HPV and many vaginal infections.
After finishing treatment I did again all medical tests and were negative for HPV. My message for women is to not take your health for granted, and take steps to prevent cervical HPV from happening. Don't wait! Go for your regular physician check-ups, and pay attention to what you can do to control and manage your health, especially if you have a young family depending upon you.

TxDOT Begins Eagle Ford Traffic Safety Effort
The Texas Department of Transportation is launching a major campaign to try to cut down on the scourge of traffic accidents in the Eagle Ford oil fields, 1200 WOAI's Berit Mason reports.
There were 3400 traffic accidents in the Eagle Ford in 2013 alone. Every sheriff's department in the region says the surge in traffic accidents is beyond their capacity to handle, and is a major problem for the oil fields. Just last month, three oilfield workers were killed when the van taking them back from a 16 hour shift rear ended a school bus.
"Drive the speed limit, stop at all traffic signs and red lights, pass carefully, and don't drive if you're drowsy, TxDOT's Laura Lopez says of the campaign.
The explosive growth of the Eagle Ford, which now has massive oilfield rigs clogging county and Farm to Market roads which were built to handle the occasional pickup truck has caused significant problems for people in the region, whether they work in the oil fields or not.
Another problem, Lopez says, is that the sheer pressure of the major build up of oilfield operations has caused speeding, reckless driving, and, particularly dangerous, drowsy driving.
"We do have a lot of roadways which are not designed specifically for the heavy traffic in that area," Lopez said.
TxDOT counts 236 fatalities due to traffic related incidents in the Eagle Ford in 2013.
"We know that many folks work all different hours," Lopez said. "Please pull over if you need to rest."
The campaign will be promoted through traditional media, social media, and community events across the Eagle Ford over the coming several months.

Police concerned after man falls from rocks
Police concerned after man falls from rocks
Eastern Waikato Police are trying to locate a person who fell off the rocks at Whiritoa at approximately 5 pm on Sunday 12 January 2014. A witness observed a male fall off rocks at the south end of the beach. The informant did not observe the male resurface and left the beach to call for help.
Senior Sergeant Gael Mockford of the Hamilton Police said the male was on the rocks for an hour prior to entering the water and was described as wearing a white shirt.
"Due to the witness needing to leave the beach to call for assistance, Police are unsure if the male that entered the water is still missing.
"Police are appealing for members of the public with information about this incident to phone their local Police Station.
If anyone is aware of a male entering the water from the rocks at Whiritoa, who is now safely at home; or if anyone has information about a missing person in Whiritoa, please contact the Police."

Rebel Wilson: Fat is funny
Rebel Wilson feels comfortable making jibes at her large figure.
The Australian actress insists she has the right to share her weight-related humour due to her own larger figure. After being slammed by Forbes magazine for the "fat women" jokes she used while hosting the MTV Movie Awards earlier this year, Rebel has argued all comedians criticise themselves in some way.
"As long as I look like this I'm going to make fat jokes," she told Hunger magazine. "All comedians have to use their physicality, so I use my size."
Rebel had her breakthrough role in 2011 comedy Bridesmaids playing the sister of British comedian Matt Lucas. Since then she has gone on to star in other comedies such as Pitch Perfect, in which her character was referred to as Fat Amy.
Despite receiving comments about her figure, the blonde star hopes her look will inspire bigger young women to feel comfortable in their own skin.
"Before, it was all glamorous types like Kate Hudson who served as, like, the female equivalent of a 'straight man'. Now it's turning, and it's really good," she smiled.
The 27-year-old actress has a new American sitcom called Super Fun Night being aired on TV soon. Rebel wanted her onscreen alter ego Kimmie to deliberately wear unflattering clothing as she knows it will hold more comedy value for viewers.
"In the pilot, I was deliberately wearing a very tight white dress with horrible crisscross black stripes that is way too short, and I'm holding a clutch purse that is so tiny that it accentuates my size," she recently told vulture.com. "The women from wardrobe are lovely, but they don't get that I want to dress as Kimmie, and Kimmie does not have the best taste. The girls in the show are at the bottom of the social pole, and it's hard to communicate that to the network. It's important they understand that comedy is not about looking good."

A Flushing woman was shocked when she lost an envelope containing nearly $3,000 last month, but she was even more surprised when it was returned to her without a dollar missing.
On July 16, Barbara Fitzpatrick, a 65-year-old retired teacher, went to the bank and withdrew $2,900 and placed it into a white envelope. She was going to use the money to buy a new computer after running some errands.
But while she was walking through the parking lot of the Whitestone Pathmark near Ulmer Street and 31st Avenue, the envelope somehow wormed its way out of her pocket. She noticed the missing cash when she got back in her car to drive home before heading to Best Buy.
"I was thinking how do I replace this? I'm a retired teacher. I don't have this kind of money," Fitzpatrick said. "How could I be this careless? I was crazy to put that kind of money in my pocket."
She stopped back at Mar-Pat Liquors where she had earlier purchased a bottle of wine. The owner checked security camera footage that showed the white envelope peeking out of her pocket. She drove around the parking lot to no avail. Little did she know that just after the envelope fell to the pavement, a man named Nino Lercara was leaving a nearby shop with some newspapers in his arm.
As the 64-year-old retired mason was walking back to his car, he noticed the envelope on the ground and picked it up without thinking, placing it on top of the newspapers he then stacked in the passenger seat.
Curious, he took a peek inside the package on the way home and could not believe what he saw.
"When I opened the envelope, I pulled off on the side. I saw 20s," he said. "It was $2,900."
He immediately called his wife of 43 years, Nina, who told a stunned Lercara to turn around and see if he could locate the owner of the envelope.
"I wouldn't have slept that night if I would have kept the money," said Lercara, who was born in Sicily but moved to America on his 10th birthday.
And with a twist of the steering wheel, Lercara also turned the tables for Fitzpatrick.
He pulled into the parking lot just as Marco Vukosa, an employee of the liquor store, was on his hands and knees looking in the lot. Fitzpatrick had given up hope and was slowly driving away, giving the ground a final scan.
When Lercara learned that she had lost something, he told Vukosa to chase her down.
"Me, being the 300-pound guy I am, took off down the block," Vukosa said.
Fitzpatrick could not believe her eyes when she returned to the parking lot and saw Lercara waving the envelope in the air.
"He's a hero. He is just an amazing guy," she said. "I was in shock for a few days. I tried to give him money but he wouldn't accept it."
Lercara refused cash several times before Fitzpatrick convinced him to give some money to his grandchildren, but the retired Sicilian refused a dime from himself.
He chalks up his honesty to his mother, who took care of Lercara and his nine siblings while working at a factory in Manhattan.
"For me, it comes naturally," he said.
For now Fitzpatrick, still in disbelief about the incident, decided to give her old computer a little more time.

As the first step in updating the nursing center, a 16-bed neighborhood addition facilitates person-centered care for seniors needing nursing care and dementia support. The next phase will renovate and update the existing skilled care unit. The compact plan was carefully positioned within a tight site area at the end of one wing of the existing healthcare center. The arts and crafts style addition wraps around a newly created secure courtyard space to provide appealing views from the resident rooms and offer opportunities for outdoor programming.
Inside, the traditional care base is replaced with a simple wooden desk overlooking a sitting area with a large stone fireplace, dining room and serving counter to accommodate resident choice and flexibility. Every suite includes a bathroom with roll-in shower to eliminate the need for a central bathing area.
