As most of you probably know, on the morning of Jan. 22 my daughter was in a horrific car accident. She had left, as she did every morning, wondering if I liked her shirt, if her hair looked OK and could I grab her a snack for breakfast. In less than five minutes after she left, a friend of hers called me and said, "Katey has been in an accident." It took me seconds to be out the door and to her.
For the last month I have been living two very different lives. One as a newspaper reporter and the other as a student at Lexington Theological Seminary. I have realized I cannot do both and do them both well.
It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to leave the staff of the News-Herald. While I am looking forward to this new path in my life, it is sad to see my time as a reporter come to an end.
A few thoughts ...
When a local person is invited to participate in a beauty pageant, it's usually pretty big news.
If one of our local ladies was asked to strut her stuff in an important competition, the News-Herald would devote a lot of ink to it – pictures, a nice story, reaction from mom and dad – stuff like that.
Well, one Owen County resident was recently asked to take their place among dozens of beautiful, smart, ambitious young women.
But other than this mention, the News-Herald won't be covering the event.
Can there be anything more heart-breaking than having a sick or injured child?
Over the past couple of weeks, I've had two people I know endure that special pain.
The News-Herald Office Manager, Sherry Lyons, is dealing with her daughter's accident. Sherry is a very strong woman and seems to be handling things as well as possible.
Things haven't been so good for another friend of mine.
A tumor was recently found on the kidney of a dear friend's 3-year-old son, Seth.
I once took a trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in early March. I was broadcasting basketball on the radio at the time for Northern Kentucky University and the team headed north to play Lake Superior State University.
The team lost and the next morning on the bus outside the hotel I was listening to a local disc jockey who said with much enthusiasm that the current temperature was -2 degrees. He then went on to say that spring was just around the corner.
While I appreciated his optimism, I've never quite understood it.
Boy, last week stunk.
I'm sure it stunk for thousands of other Owen countians stuck in the dark.
When I was a kid, I was a big fan of winter – snow storms meant no school; sleigh riding down the steep hill in front of my mom's house in Cynthiana; snowball fights with the 14 other kids who lived in my neighborhood; or chasing my dog Radar through the snow drifts.
For a kid, heavy snow is just another opportunity to have fun.
I am independent and usually self-sufficient, but the second total hip-replacement surgery in four years and the recent snowstorm left my driveway and my porch inches deep in snow and me unable to clean it.
First, Brett Inman who was here installing a new bathroom heater, took the time to shovel part of the drive and to clean the snow off the porch. I didn't ask him to do it.
It all started on a very cold day in February at Elk Creek Lodge and ended where it began on a very warm day in October.
A group of people ranging in age and occupation set out on a journey to learn more about education, health care, child services, government, agriculture, entrepreneurship and industry relating to our community.
February was the kickoff to it all as we learn things about the people in the group and each other's view and perceptions of what to expect of the leadership class.
Gracious people and our Gracious Lord Jesus were there when our van went over the edge of Highway 22, Dec. 23.
It was "black ice night." I made the mistake of tapping my brake, preparing for a curve, past the high school. Sapling trees prevented me from rolling. The seat belt held. The air bag did not even open.
Mike W. was at my window in less than one minute. "I'll call 911," he encouraged after he found I was unharmed.
Music has always been an integral part of my life. The amount of money I have invested in my CD and record collection would more than likely seem foolish to most. My collection spans many genres including country, western swing, blues, classical, jazz and so on.
Back when I was the editor of a paper in Corbin, I had a pair of religion columnists who submitted the same pre-Christmas article every year.
These columnists were very devout, very conservative and very traditional in their writing. They often came out and decried the "modern' world and urged readers to abandon some of the more secular aspects of Christmas.
Do we have eminent domain going on here in Owenton? It sure seems like it.
I encourage all of you to go and look at the old drug store and the building beside it. Plaster is falling off the ceiling. Water has stood in the floor. In the old drug store, the ceiling fan is bent down from where it has leaked. Hardly any of the windows are left in the building.
I encourage you to go and look behind these buildings. You might be surprised to see what is back there. There are broken steps, wires are everywhere and the backdoor is open for kids to go in.
After reading the letter to the editor titled "Mother Says Wine and Kids Don't Mix" in last week's paper, initially I decided there is no point in responding.
However, after further consideration as director/founder/president of OCFA, the entity that hosted "Fido Fiesta" and the representative that invited minors to assist, I believe it is my responsibility to respectfully respond to Ms. Morris.
I know most kids can't wait to "grow up."
But I never knew how much I would miss my own kid's childhood until this year.
My daughter, Elizabeth, turned 13 in late November. This is her first Christmas as a teen.
It's a lot harder for me than it is for her.
For 12 years now, I searched the toy aisles for something I thought she would love. The wish list or letter to Santa was an annual ritual.
But not these days.
While reading the Courier-Journal online several weeks ago, I found an interesting article that hit close to home. The headline read "Kentucky's small tobacco farms are fading away."
I read the article over several times and learned that there are only an estimated 6,000 tobacco farms in Kentucky as of 2007. While in 1997, there were 46,850.
Where do a angels come from?
I'm not talking about the heavenly host or female detectives from a cheesy '70s TV show.
The angels in question are the ones who look out for the less fortunate in our community.
Angels don't need the spotlight and don't seek recognition for their good deeds.
An angel is content to touch the lives of people in need and ease their pain through simple gestures of caring and concern.
Are you an angel?
I, for one, am certainly not but from time to time, I try.
This letter comes to you in outrage and the very deepest disappointment.
My mother, Paula Nye, passed away three years ago. She loved birds and had several birdfeeders strategically placed around her house so she could view them from every window of the room in which she lived out her illness.
Before buying your child or spouse a dog or cat for Christmas, please be aware that you can adopt a dog or cat from a shelter, Friends for Animals or Petsmart. They will also be spayed or neutered, wormed and up-to-date on shots. There are so many strays out there that need a home. Why purchase an animal form a breeder when there are cold, starving animals that will be destroyed or put to sleep if they can't find a home.
What is your opinion of the news in Owen County?
For decades, people have been able to react to stories and issues through the local newspaper's Letter to the Editor section.
From my standpoint, getting a letter from a reader is always exciting. It's kinda like getting a credit-card bill after a long vacation. You're never sure if you want to open it because it could either be great news or very, very bad news.
Generally, I treat letters to the editor as an opportunity to learn something.
Dear Santa:
Wherever you may be right now, I know that you are really busy at this time. So I will try not to take much of your time.
I know this time of the year is the time for wishes to come true and miracles to happen. So that's the reason for this letter.
I am in desperate need for miracles and wishes to come true.,

"Excellent quality and a delightful design. It was very helpful to have the variety of color combinations for the design and the options for the back side. I added photos and text to the back of my card. The coordinating envelopes and address labels were the icing on the cake. I also have to complement the excellent customer service! I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience."
"This is the second year I've used TinyPrints for my Christmas cards. Once again, they are absolutely gorgeous! I will continue to use TinyPrints. Their designs are sophisticated and on trend, plus the choices and variations for each card design are sure to fit anyone's taste. The cards came quickly and didn't disappoint!"
"We opted for the curvy design.The first batch that arrived, the names were cut off. But customer service was great and issued a brand new, corrected order. Love the product! Very classy!"
"Really nice, with cool options for your photos to look even better (saturated or retro, etc.). You can also add two photos on the back as well which is great for large families or just lots of pics. This is not a folding card, but more of a postcard. Also, check for size because it may be smaller than you think. Still, the quality is fabulous so you will not be disappointed. Shipping was faster than expected (I took a chance and didn't pay the extra for two day shipping but it came that fast anyway, three days before Christmas). I appreciate that they give you the option for regular size envelopes so you don't have to pay extra postage if you don't want to. There are cheaper cards out there, but you get what you pay for"
"I have received the most compliments (almost from every person I sent it to) with this card. I used it in the black color and added the black fading around my photo in my photo software. It looked amazing. Print quality was great and loved the matte style."

Address correspondence to Charles B. Nemeroff, M.D., Ph.D., University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, 1120 NW 14th St., Miami, FL 33136; email@example.com (e-mail).
Received July 13, 2010; Revised August 2, 2010; Accepted August 5, 2010.
The catastrophic earthquake that ravaged the already fragile Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince on January 12, 2010 unleashed an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. The devastation was beyond belief, the suffering horrific. Yet the brave people of Haiti were stoic in rescuing their neighbors and friends, the injured and the homeless, triggering an impassioned humanitarian response from around the world that showed Haiti will never be forgotten or forsaken.
Led by Dr. Barth Green, the chairman of neurological surgery at the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, an army of University of Miami doctors, nurses, and staff would be joined by more than 2,000 medical volunteers from the United States and beyond who staffed the most advanced ground zero hospital in the hemisphere's poorest nation. In a 25,000-square-foot tent facility, we collectively treated more than 20,000 patients, saving countless lives. One of us (PGC) dramatically described the experience.
"I will always remember the night of January 17, when I landed in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, with one of the first hospital shifts. I was joining our medical team to assess the needs and develop a strategy for our long-term relief effort. We were immediately immersed in the formidable rescue, caring for hundreds of injured Haitians who were brought to two cargo tents at the nonfunctioning airport. In an improvised emergency room, our volunteers performed life-saving procedures on patients whose survival hung by a thread. One young man, JC, had a crushed leg and was suffering from rhabdomyolysis. In need of dialysis, which was not available, the 19-year-old was destined to die. With a plastic carpet, we lifted him onto a plane bound for Miami, Florida, where he would receive the treatment that saved his life. As he bravely awaited takeoff, he asked me to speak to his mother who stayed quietly behind.
"The dead, dying, and injured were all around us. I was, to say the least, overwhelmed, as probably everybody else was. Nevertheless our teams in Port-au-Prince and Miami were working remarkably well together ensuring that volunteers, supplies, and other necessary equipment were dispatched like clockwork.
"The next morning a young girl, approximately 11 years old, needed plastic surgery for her chest. A falling rock had sheared off her flesh and rib. A University of Miami professor of surgery and I took her to the Israeli Army Field Hospital, the only facility with a plastic surgery service. Our driver, his hand locked on the horn, drove his makeshift ambulance at 70 mph through roads jammed with people, bicycles, cars, and trucks, all trying to navigate a world of chaos. Remarkably, we made it with our young patient, who uttered not one word, nor shed one single tear. Our Israeli colleagues traded her for a patient who only we were prepared to care for. I could not help but wonder if all our fellow humans would always interact in such a kind, collaborative manner, would not the world be a better place?"
The Miller School of Medicine's relief effort was quite extraordinary—from state-of-the-art trauma care by the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital team of doctors and nurses to the can-do spirit of our orthopedic surgeons, anesthesiologists, pediatricians, OB/GYNs, dermatologists, neurologists, ophthalmologists, and physical therapists who contributed in every way they could, even taking wounded orphans under their wing to bring them to U.S. hospitals. The rapid expansion of our pre-earthquake programs in comprehensive health care to underserved Haitians and the introduction of telemedicine to transmit real-time images of patients for consultations with faculty back home in Miami was no less extraordinary than the prosthetic limbs and physical therapy provided to hundreds of new amputees and the distribution of hundreds of eyeglasses and the establishment of an eyeglass library by our Bascom Palmer Eye Institute.
Of course little of this would have been possible without the caring generosity of so many individuals who collectively contributed $5.8 million and donated pharmaceuticals; supplies; equipment; and the use of their planes, pilots, personnel, time, and considerable energy to help us help our neighbors in their time of greatest need.
The University of Miami Global Institute for Community Health and Development has now passed the baton for day-to-day operations of our field hospital to our partner in Haiti, Project Medishare, which is leading the effort to establish a much needed national trauma, critical care, and rehabilitation network in the nation as well as the educational components to support them.
Once the initial triage was completed to deal with urgent medical and surgical needs, the mental health consequences of this trauma became evident.
In this issue of Academic Psychiatry, one of our outstanding psychiatric residents, Molly McShane, M.D., shares her remarkable experiences as a volunteer in Haiti. Two of the major tenets of psychiatry that we traditionally highlight to trainees are that "life is uncertain" and "bad things happen to good people." In the last several years, natural disasters such as the tsunami that devastated Sri Lanka; Hurricane Katrina that decimated New Orleans; terrorist acts including the Oklahoma City bombing and the September 11 attacks; and ongoing military conflicts that expose our valiant troops and civilians in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Middle East, and Africa have focused our attention on the psychiatric aftermath of such cataclysmic traumatic events.
Because stress is known to precipitate episodes of, or exacerbate, a variety of severe psychiatric disorders including major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and all of the major anxiety and substance abuse disorders, natural disasters are expected to markedly increase the severity and point prevalence of these disorders. Unfortunately, as noted in Dr. McShane's article, the availability of inpatient and outpatient psychiatric facilities, trained mental health professionals, and psychopharmacological medications in Haiti was severely limited prior to the earthquake. In addition to the exacerbation of preexisting psychiatric illness is the marked increase in new cases of depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in response to the loss of loved ones, and the witnessing of widespread death and destruction far beyond what is generally considered within the "normal" range of human experience. Unfortunately, the cultural climate in Haiti is antithetical to early recognition and treatment of psychiatric illness and this further contributed to the burden of psychiatric morbidity after the earthquake. A previous issue of Academic Psychiatry has focused on the devastating consequences of stigma in mental health care (1).
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is the fifth most common of the major psychiatric disorders, with a lifetime prevalence rate of 7.8% in the United States (2). PTSD is approximately twice as common in women, and prevalence rates correlate with trauma exposure rates. Prospective studies indicate that the majority of trauma victims experience the cardinal symptoms of reexperiencing, avoidance, and hyperarousal immediately following trauma, but for most these symptoms abate and eventually disappear (3). For a significant minority, symptoms persist and develop into syndromal PTSD. Chronic PTSD is associated with significant comorbidity (e.g., major depression, substance and alcohol abuse, panic disorder), reduced life expectancy and mortality (suicide, medical comorbidity), as well as disability, loss of productivity, and increased health care utilization (4). It is, therefore, crucial to identify individuals at high risk to develop PTSD in the immediate aftermath of trauma, in order to design interventions that are effective in preventing the development of PTSD and its associated disease burden. It is also important to recognize the increasing evidence that providing immediate psychological interventions to all trauma victims is not only costly, but may interfere with normal recovery in the survivors who would not go on to develop PTSD (5).
PTSD is a complex disease in which gene-environment interactions determine vulnerability. Several risk factors have been identified for developing PTSD following trauma exposure (6, 7) including (a) female gender; (b) pretrauma personal and familial psychopathology; (c) prior trauma including child abuse and neglect; (d) trauma severity; (e) perceived life threat and peritraumatic emotional response; (f) lack of social support; (g) reduced hippocampal size; (h) a variety of previously identified risk alleles including FKBP5, DAT, COMT, BDNF, 5-HTTLPR, RGS2, GABRA2, CRFR1; (i) markers of inflammation including IL-6, C-reactive peptide, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) implicated in the pathophysiology of PTSD and mood disorders; and (j) measures of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function including blood and hair cortisol concentrations, the latter a validated measure of longitudinal HPA axis activity (7—13).
Epidemiological studies indicate that about 70% of people will experience a traumatic event in their lifetime, but not all of these individuals will develop PTSD. Identifying which trauma victims will develop PTSD is the agreed upon "holy grail" for the PTSD research field. Clearly, a clinically useful metric using a combination of biological, epidemiological, and psychological variables to predict who, at the time of trauma, will develop PTSD will revolutionize the treatment of this common and severe psychiatric disorder. The savings in terms of human suffering, medical and psychiatric comorbidity, reduction in suicide risk, disability, and loss of life as well as economic gains in terms of reduced health care utilization and increased work productivity are virtually incalculable. Considering the almost universal exposure to traumatic events and the vast public health problem that PTSD represents worldwide, the global impact in civilian and military populations will be substantial.
Functional genomics, transcriptomics, and the related fields of proteomics and epigenetics allow high throughput hypothesis generators. These approaches have proven successful in identifying disease biomarkers in several common complex disorders including Alzheimer's disease, cancer, and diabetes (14). The concern that the use of blood elements instead of brain tissue does not provide valid data in gene expression appears to be unwarranted (15).
We need to accelerate discoveries for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of PTSD. Applying genomics, transcriptomics, epigenetics, and proteomics to elucidate biological predicators of PTSD is an active avenue of investigation. Approximately 30% to 40% of the risk to develop PTSD is heritable and our group has identified some of the most promising candidate genes that mediate vulnerability to PTSD. Much of what we have learned concerning the mammalian response to trauma is derived from basic science discoveries, and these findings, in part, provide the scientific rationale for identifying predictors of PTSD (e.g., inflammatory markers and neuroendocrine alterations). PTSD is a major global health problem and success will result in a clear and immediate global health impact.
Personalized medicine has been developed and implemented in, for example, oncology and infectious disease. Based on the extant literature, the development of personalized biomarker signatures for PTSD should be achievable. The promise of personalized medicine has been difficult to realize, not because of the difficulty in whole genome scanning (GWAS) or in its expense, but because of the realization that complex genetic diseases such as PTSD involve a large number of genes, each of which exerts a relatively small effect, rendering it difficult to assess the risk of each variant. Moreover, the gene variants interact with environmental factors such as child abuse and neglect. The disappointing results obtained with GWAS studies have led to the inexorable conclusion that the functional consequences of these myriad polymorphisms are key to understanding the biology and treatment of complex disorders.
A few studies to date have examined candidate gene associations with risk for PTSD, with our study on FKBP5 representing the largest PTSD genetics study ever conducted (10). The FKBP5 gene regulates the HPA axis at the level of glucocorticoid receptor sensitivity. FKBP5 polymorphisms interact with a history of child abuse to predict adult PTSD symptoms.
The use of such genomic, transcriptomic, epigenetic, proteomic, structural and functional brain imaging, inflammation, and neuroendocrine measures taken together with behavioral and psychological measures will likely achieve the much needed goal of predicting which trauma victims will develop syndromal PTSD and, moreover, will likely help identify predictors of response to the effective treatments of PTSD, both psychotherapeutic and psychopharmacological. In the future, such tools can be brought to bear to help manage the psychiatric sequelae of natural disasters similar to the Haiti earthquake. Immediate intervention for medical-surgical and psychiatric consequences of trauma will surely reduce the resultant morbidity and mortality associated with such events.
The authors are indebted to our faculty, staff, students, trainees and all of our volunteers from Haiti, the United States, and beyond, without whom our medical relief efforts would have never been possible. We are also deeply grateful for the steadfast and substantial support that we have received from our wonderful philanthropic partners. We thank our Haitian friends for their help, kindness, generosity, and for providing all of us with an unforgettable lesson of courage and stoicism. Finally, we thank Carmen and Maggie for their exceptional partnership.

100% amazing software. Highly recommended!
April 15, 2013
Reviewer: Daniel Leo Simpson from San Francisco, California
Make sure when reading the various online reviews on the web that you're clear on exactly what version of the product is being reviewed and what version you're considering to buy. I have Version 10 and it's clearly 5 stars. Everything you need is there to learn the language fluently - a lot of the criticism of unfavorable reviews stem from older versions with issues now completely addressed and revised in V10. They have a 7 day demo on their website so you can see for yourself.
Do read the short sentence instruction on each screen. Realize there are buttons/dropdowns/right-clicks there that you want to become familiar with. A lot of my first concerns evaporated when I simply learned how to use the resources they put right there on the page in front of me. Just follow directions - this is simply 100% amazing software. Highly recommended.

La progression est visible si l on travaille regulierement, au moins une heure par jour. La correction vocale apporte beaucoup, les textes audio permettent de se familiariser avec les differents accents. Les thematiques abordees sont un outil tres utile pour la connaissance de l art, de l histoire, de la geographie....tout en ameliorant son vocabulaire. Aucun regret d avoir opte pour cette methode tres ludique.

Seeds - Soils - Mulch
The perfect landscape starts with the perfect soil. Potting soils provide a loose, well-draining planting medium. The next step is to choose the right grass seeds to plant. Grass seeds are available in different varieties for different climates. Choosing the right grass for your climate is essential. Un-blended grasses do well in warm season southern states where temperatures typically exceeds 80°F. In cool season states, a blend of permanent grasses is best. Landscaping mulch will increase plant life and the appearance of your landscape.

Got a chance to test the noctilux here in Singapore. so only the wider lens are affected by this unfortunate issue?
Last edited by charles lim yi yong; 03-06-2012 at 05:44 PM.
I have now tested and sold 5 NOCTILUX .95 lenses, of course I do have a brand new one for my self waiting right here, as I will be personally using this MAGICAL lens in some night Fashion shoots in our Movie here in Rome... ;)
What I have done were the usual tests I do with all the DSLR glass, by 3 or more and test them to get the best one... With Canon has always been the best out of 3, or some times 5, however, even so not surprised at all, I was very please, since i have the Leica Summilux Cine Primes coming, that also the M Still lenses share an incredible quality control, intact all 5 Noctilux tested were exactly the same, an that is impressive for a Still lens.
By far however I do love the .95 for hits ridiculous extreme SDOF and even illumination, and when I say illumination I do mean it, as it is a lens with a head light inside, when shot wide open at night with no additional lighting just lights up your subjects like a christmas tree.
If I was to chose which lenses to use of the M series on Epic or Scarlet, after all the testing they would be:
21mm 1.4 Summilux (if RED can do some magic to allow for the wider)
35mm 1.4 Summilux
50mm 1.4 Summilux (This been the absolute Sharpest of them all)
75mm 2.0 Apo Summicron
90mm 2.0 Apo Summicron (this been the absolute BEST Still lens ever made)
Also after holding in your hand this lens, even so ever petit, they fill your hand like a sold piece of metal, as this have no plastic elements like the Canons do, so their fill is very different.
Even so we'll be sussing all kind of different glass on our Epic cameras for our Movie, and we are already testing our casting with it, I believe that the Noctilux will sure hold some of the best scenes in the film, can't wait!!
as the new owner of one of those Ketch tested .95 Nocs . . . would sure love to have a mount to go with
He he, thank for the trust and the purchase Josh... Don't worry, Jarred knows how many we need, so I'm sure that this time they'll make sure to have in off for every one, and the waiting list on people looking for continue to Grow... ;)
Also now that I have sold the M9, I have nothing to shoot it with, so we are all waiting eagerly my friend... ;)
Below, you will find the link to a piece shot entirely with the EPIC, RED Leica Mount, and a Leica Noctilux 0.95 lens.
The video was shot by Dan Martensen, represented by MAP, Inc. Creative Chaos was production. Mark Anton Read under 59 Still + Motion did color grading, and H&M worked with an agency in Stockholm to deliver video. 59 Still + Motion, under the direction of Alan Balian lead with Technical Production and Camera Support.
Notice that the video is default at 360p but please watch it at least 720p. There's also a 3d version on the youtube link.

Hehe. Yeah, working full time can be so tiring.
I don't think i've heard Precious One. And i definitely haven't heard Hesitate. I guess i'll have to them somewhere to download.
BTW, how many songs did KAT-TUN have before they actually debuted? Was it a lot? Will they ever get released on cd or no? I know some came with the limited edition of the cartoon KAT-TUN II You album. But i guess not all will ever be released to buy.

Obamacare unveiled as CA, NY lead US
While politicians in Washington argue over the Affordable Care Act, its ultimate fate is being decided far from Capitol Hill. Amid the periodic repeal votes in Congress and activist campaigns on both sides of the debate, states from New York to California are striving to meet an Oct. 1 deadline to implement the heart of the health-care law, the online insurance "exchanges" meant to enroll millions of Americans. The law has already had a major impact on U.S. health care since its passage in 2010. Millions of young adults up to age 26 have received coverage under their parents' policies, seniors are receiving expanded drug coverage and hospitals are experimenting with incentive programs designed to improve care and cut costs.

The Plot (Magill's Guide to Science Fiction and Fantasy Literature)
The novel begins with an explanation of how the narrator came to abridge the book. His father had read The Princess Bride, by S. Morgenstern, to him when he had pneumonia as a child. Remembering the story fondly, the narrator was shocked that his own son hated it until he realized that his father had skipped the boring passages when reading it to him. The narrator edited the book, leaving only "the good parts" and adding comments in red type throughout. This process resulted in The Princess Bride: S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure, the "Good Parts" Version, Abridged.
In this abridged form of an imaginary book, when Buttercup is eighteen years old (and not yet the most beautiful woman in the world), she suddenly notices the stable hand Westley, who has always responded to her orders with "As you wish." They declare their love, and he leaves to earn his fortune. Buttercup soon learns that he has been killed by pirates and vows never to love again.
Evil Prince Humperdinck of Florin needs a wife and proposes to Buttercup because she is beautiful. Given a choice between marriage and death, Buttercup chooses marriage. Once the wedding is announced, she is kidnapped by men hired by the prince to kill her on the Florin/Guilder border. Humperdinck plans to blame the murder on Guilder, giving him a reason to invade that kingdom. The kidnappers, however, are followed by a man wearing a...

Form and Content (Masterplots II: Juvenile & Young Adult Literature Series, Supplement)
Buttercup, a beautiful milkmaid, falls in love with Westley, a farm boy, who sails away to seek his fortune. She sinks into grief when she hears that he has been captured by the Dread Pirate Roberts, who never leaves survivors. When Humperdinck, the prince of Florin—who cares only for hunting but demands a good-looking bride to bear his children—orders Buttercup to marry him, she refuses, claiming that she will never love again. Because Humperdinck does not seek love and the alternative is death, however, they become engaged.
Before the wedding, Buttercup is kidnapped by Vizzini, Inigo Montoya, and Fezzik, whom Humperdinck has paid to kill her and leave evidence that will incriminate the country of Guilder, Florin's enemy, so that Humperdinck can declare war. Fezzik is a powerful giant, and Inigo is the best swordsman in the world, having spent twenty years becoming a master fencer in order to find and kill the six-fingered nobleman who murdered his father. They are pursued, however, by a man in black, who follows them up the Cliffs of Insanity and then bests Inigo in a swordfight, Fezzik in a wrestling match, and Vizzini in a battle of wits.
Buttercup is now in the power of the man in black, who insults her faithlessness and greed. When she pushes him down a ravine, she discovers that it is Westley, who was merely testing her love for him.
Humperdinck and the evil Count Rugen are hunting them, so Buttercup and Westley flee...

Techniques / Literary Precedents
The roots of the fairy tale stretch back to a time before literature, when storytelling was essentially an oral form. The theme of The Princess Bride is a common one in fairy tales: the lover of a beautiful woman must show his courage and valor to save her from a fate worse than death.
Unlike most fairy tales, however, The Princess Bride has a distinctly modern tone. It contains modern sarcasm and the narrative is frequently interrupted by the secondary narrator, Goldman, who muses on the story as merely fairy tale and establishes a distance between reader and story. This distancing is an apology of sorts for the violence and the absurdity of a story that often lampoons traditional fairy tale conventions.
(The entire section is 122 words.)
The Silent Gondoliers (1983) is another example of Goldman's attempt to adapt traditional genres to modern form. The Princess Bride appropriates the form of the fairy tale, while The Silent Gondoliers is in the shorter, more compact form of a fable. Both works succeed as vehicles through which Goldman (in the voice of the fictitious S. Morgenstern) can satirize both the literary forms themselves and the modern values that are so humorously contrasted with the expected traditional values of fairy tales or fables.
The central character is Luigi, a gondolier with a "goony smile." S. Morgenstern, the narrator, translates the Italian word as "goony" since no other is quite right in English, or so Morgenstern claims. Luigi's father is a gondolier. Even as a child, Luigi sneaks out to practice his steering in the Grand Canal late at night while the city of Venice sleeps. Often near dawn, young Luigi takes a shortcut home through SPLAT Corner. Years later when he goes to Gondolier's school, a cruel teacher, John the Bastard, who is almost an archetypal figure in this work, prematurely forces Luigi to steer a gondola through SPLAT corner. Luigi successfully maneuvers the boat through, thus exemplifying the competent student, who bests a cruel teacher who is determined to maintain the upper hand.
As in all fables, plot supercedes characterization, and theme supercedes plot. The reader gains little insight into the emotions or...
(The entire section is 803 words.)
Act II Communications Presentations of Nelson Entertainment released a film version of The Princess Bride in 1987. Goldman wrote the screenplay, and consequently it is very close to the novel. The film was produced by Norman Lear and directed by Rob Reiner.
Fred Savage starred as the boy — the young Goldman in the novel — to whom the story was read by his grandfather played by Peter Falk. (The grandfather role was changed from the novel. In it, young Goldman's father read the story.) Westley was played by Cary Elwes and Buttercup by Robin Wright. The film has a small cult following.

By Bret Strelow Staff writer
RALEIGH - Scott Wood is a shooter, first and foremost.
Even as a senior, there's still time to become more of a well-rounded scorer.
Wood took positive steps last season with a new coaching staff at N.C. State, and he has worked with assistant Rob Moxley this summer to improve as an off-the-dribble threat.
"It's never too late," Moxley said. "Some guys develop later than others in certain parts. If you're hungry and want to be in the gym and you really work, you can always get better."
N.C. State doesn't lack for storylines on the eve of its Sunday departure for Spain, where the Wolfpack will begin a 10-day trip that includes stops in Madrid and the Canary Islands to play five exhibition games against European competition.
Expectations are extremely high for a program that returns four starters from a Sweet 16 appearance and welcomes three McDonald's All-Americans. At this point, fans are anxious to see how guard Lorenzo Brown looks after offseason knee surgery, although he might not play at all on the foreign trip.
There are other subjects of note, like C.J. Leslie's move into a leadership role or Richard Howell's effort to avoid foul trouble. And how will the freshmen handle the transition to college?
Where does Wood fit into the discussion? Quietly, without fanfare, he has spent countless hours working out at the Dail Basketball Center in hopes of enjoying a strong finish to his N.C. State career.
He has taken advantage of a new NCAA rule allowing coaches more summer access to their players by going through drills with Moxley, the former Charlotte assistant who groomed Diego Guevara, Jobey Thomas, Demon Brown, Brendan Plavich and Leemire Goldwire during a decade-long stretch in which the 49ers routinely had the most prolific 3-point shooter in their league.
With Wood, a 40-percent 3-point shooter during his career, the focus shifted inside the arc.
Wood and Moxley teamed up twice a week, for about 35 minutes at a time, with Wood putting up between 600 and 700 shots. Instead of running off down screens, which allow him to get open on the perimeter for catch-and-shoot opportunities, he'd use ball screens, create space with pump fakes and penetrate with a crossover or behind-the-back move. He'd also perform a rip-through move in which he sweeps the ball directly over the defender's top foot and goes past him, shoulder to shoulder, before rising for a shot.
Taking at least one dribble before shooting a pull-up 3 or mid-range jumper, Wood hit between 80 to 85 percent of his attempts, Moxley said. When Wood worked out by himself, with help from an automatic-rebounding, pass-back shooting machine, he continued to do the same drills.
"It's pretty much all I did," Wood said. "It's definitely in the repertoire. Now, it's about if I use it. It's definitely there; I just have to pull it out."
There's been talk each offseason of Wood expanding his game, so some skepticism is understandable, but his numbers during coach Mark Gottfried's first season signaled a change.
Wood's scoring totals and 3-point tries have increased in each of his three college seasons. So have his free throw attempts.
Seventy-seven percent of Wood's shots from the field were 3-pointers as a sophomore, and the percentage dipped slightly to 74 last season, when he made 88 of his career-high 97 free throws. He had less than 40 attempts from the line as a freshman and sophomore.
Gottfried said he'd like to see Wood shoot between 140 and 150 free throws as a senior. The one-on-one sessions involving Moxley were planned with that in mind.
"With Scott, he's such a phenomenal foul shooter, those ways for him to get to the foul line are important," Gottfried said. "In the back of his mind, every day when he walks into the gym, it's not just to shoot the standing jump shot, but also finding ways to one- or two-bounce dribble."

One of the most high anxiety times for me are those endless days after I pay for a turntable online and before I receive it. I envision all manner of disasters, pitfalls, and boneheaded handlers doing their worst. So, if you have one or two "absolute rules" when packing a turntable for long distance shipping, lets hear them. Here is mine:
"NEVER ASSUME a turntable will remain upright during shipping. Pack it with the expectation that it will be turned upside down and stood on its side."

A view from Brainshare 2008
Data Centers and Fossas
Novell vendors, developers, and users exchanged metaphors and business cards in Salt Lake City.
About 5,500 people from 60 countries arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah the week of March 17 for Brainshare 2008, Novell's signature partner and marketing event. The show rolled out a fairly typical trade show floor, and the guests kept busy with a well-attended series of breakout sessions. One of the more entertaining elements of Brainshare this year was the "World of Warcraft" theme; quite a few attendees and trade show booths enthusiastically embraced this theme; a number of booths also played up the "Guitar Hero" theme – proving that Novell is still making room for the young and geeky.
The best element of Brainshare was the breakout sessions, which involved more than just the latest tech talk. Vendors made an effort to go the extra mile: At these breakout sessions, Novell's customers and developers can mix and mingle together. Several times, I saw a presenter casually request a feature in a product (e.g., ZenWorks or GroupWise), only to have one of the actual developers stand up and say something like, "Let me know what you're looking for, and we'll see what we can do."
In the DNA
Last year, Brainshare was all about how Novell's SLES and SLED Linux distros worked, played, and thrived in everyone's ecosystem. The talk then was about virtualization, identity management, and interoperability – the underlying point being that the Microsoft deal was good for Novell and good for Linux (and also good for Microsoft).
This year, Novell's still on message, but they've refined it quite a bit: "Novell has the data center in its DNA," according to Jeff Jaffe, Novell's Chief Technical Officer (CTO).
So, while Novell remains centered on virtualization, identity management, and interoperability, its message was that SUSE Linux is the ultimate data center operating system.
It's clear that Novell has realized that being too open, too functional, and too flexible in the back room might result in having no real identity at all. To address this problem in perception, Novell has decided it needs to tie itself to a real data center name – and while they continue to develop the Microsoft relationship, that's yesterday's news. This time, Novell has tapped SAP, a truly big player in the data center business.
While Novell has always worked fairly closely with SAP, this year they have announced that they have "deepened" their SAP relationship. SUSE Linux Enterprise is now certified to run SAP. Plus, SAP has committed to support open source applications in a deeper way than ever before. Not only has Novell been able to identify with SAP, but it has also gotten SAP to recognize open source; neither of these achievements is trivial.
Once again, Novell has tapped SUSE's German roots by working with the largest player. The message in this move is relatively simple: Not only does SUSE do everything, it now actually does something: SAP.
