Some medical historians of the last century mistakenly recorded that Caesarean section was strictly forbidden amongst Muslims. This opinion has been repeatedly quoted without examining its authenticity or validity. Research into available ancient Arabic sources can lead to evidence contrary to such a view. The Islamic scholars of the Middle ages were, in fact, the first to not only write about this operation but to illustrate it in pictures and describe it in poetry. Considering the antiquity of their time, it is unfair to compare them with scholars of a later date; but their achievements must be valued.

2. The debate in historical sources
During the middle of the last century, some medical historians erroneously recorded that Arab authorities in the Middle Ages discouraged surgical advances in general and particularly prohibited the operation of Caesarean section. Since then this view has been quoted without questioning its validity. One reference regarding Caesarean section quoted repeatedly came from a French army doctor. In 1863, C. Rique wrote about medical legislation in Arabia [1]. He mentioned that post-mortem Caesarean section was strictly forbidden by Sidi Khalif, whose opinion carried great weight in matters of casuistry among Muslims. The author did not take care to establish the authority of Sidi Khalif, who is unknown in Arabic literature. Moreover the opinion of one nineteenth century person cannot be applied retrospectively to medical practices of earlier periods and it is unfortunate that Rique's view has often been quoted as applicable throughout Arabian medical history.
In 1944 Young in his History of Caesarean Section wrote: 'Mohammedanism absolutely forbids it, (Caesarean section) and directs that any child so born must be slain forthwith as it is the offspring of the Devil' [2]. This statement matches what Rique had said, but has been quoted without reference to any original source. A more modern example comes from Wright who also wrote that the Muslim religion absolutely forbade this operation [3]. This opinion was again expressed without any supporting evidence, but vaguely argued that this operation had not been mentioned in the writings of some of the great Arabic physicians of the Middle Ages. But in the same paragraph the author also stated that neither had any of the great European medical writers mentioned this operation, for example Eucharius Röslin in the famous Rosegarten published in 1513.

3. The legacy of Islamic medicine
In order to study the medical history of the period it is important to keep in mind that we are dealing with a period more than half a millennium before the European Renaissance. Professor Ullmann, a contemporary author of Arab medical history has expressed this better 'Islamic medicine is the discipline of a period which knew no renaissance and no enlightenment, one must therefore be careful not to measure it with the same yardstick that one would apply to the history of European discipline' [4]. Such a view is further strengthened when we remember that this operation remained highly controversial in Europe until the eighteenth century, and that the first successful Caesarean section in England was not performed until 1793 [5].
Due to a lack of source material, some historians relied on works unrelated to medical history, such as the story of a slave girl Tawaddud from the 'Arabian Nights'. The literary value of such a classic deserves due appreciation but it cannot take the place of serious medical or scientific works. Unfortunately, these weak references are still cited, ignoring information which has come to light. For example, it is now known that Yuhanna Ibn-Masawayh (777-857 CE) who was personal physician to Al-Ma'mun, used to dissect apes to learn anatomy [6].
It is accepted that there is a scarcity of source material, and books covering ancient Arab medical history are rare and unexplored. Relevant literature is not only scanty but scattered, fragmented and unedited. This view was expressed by the eminent Arabist E.G. Brown in 1922 and remains true to this day [7]. In spite of this handicap, if we confine ourselves to a fairly early period of Arab pursuit of knowledge, we come across some convincing evidence regarding Caesarean section. This evidence forces us to review the argument and come to the conclusion that the operation was known to Arabs, that they wrote about it and it was practised in the lands under their influence.

Arabs had three major sources available to them from which they could enlighten themselves regarding this interesting operation. Firstly, they had a close association and extremely cordial relationships with Jewish scholars of the period. Many of them contributed original material and took part in translating Greek and Latin medical literature into Arabic. It is a fact that the best known translators of the time were Jewish. They must also have transferred the Talmudic references about Caesarean section [8]. The second source of such knowledge could be from Roman history. During Roman times post-mortem Caesarean section was widely practised and governed by royal decree of King Pompilius (715-673 BCE) known as King's Law or Lex Regia [9]. Lastly, probably the most important and richest source available to Arabs regarding this operation was from Indian doctors. Post-mortem Caesarean section was known and practised by Indians many centuries before Islam. The famous Indian medical authority Susruta wrote about the operation dating the fifth century BCE. It is also well established that during the period when Arabs were translating medical works. Indian doctors were employed to translate Indian books into Arabic. Ullmann tells us that Barmakid Yahyu Ibn Khalid commissioned an Indian doctor Mankah to translate Susruta into Arabic. It is worth mentioning that the same Mankah also translated another Indian work into Arabic, entitled Kitab-al-Sumum, or the Book of Poisons, the original source of which is still unknown.
There is ample evidence that Indian doctors were associated with Arabic medical practice for a long time during the golden period of Arab progress. Indeed the Arabic word for pharmacy was actually derived from an Indian source [10]. Under these circumstances it is inconceivable that the concept of such an important operation would not have been introduced into Arab medical practice. This speculation about Indian influence may be further strengthened if one considers that practically all references relating to this operation originated in the eastern Caliphate or the area under the influence of Baghdad. It has not been mentioned by scholars of the western Caliphate or by the Arabs of Spanish origin. The most important surgical authority Abu al-Qasim bin Abbas Al-Zahrawi of Cordova who died in 1013 CE did not mention this operation although he devoted a full section to operative obstetrics in the 30 volumes of his Tasrif [11].
4. The evidence from Islamic historical sources
But the most important, valuable and illustrated evidence regarding Caesarean section in Arabic literature comes from Al-Biruni who died in 1048 CE at the age of 78 and who was the author of many books on history, medicine and philosophy. One of his unique manuscripts known as Al-Athar al-Baqiyah `an al-Qurun al-Khaliyah, is in the University of Edinburgh, MS No. 161. It was edited and translated into German and English by Professor E. Sachau in 1879 [12].
In this chronological history of nations, Al-Biruni gave three references to Caesarean section. He wrote that Caesar Augustus (63 BCE-14CE) was born by post-mortem Caesarean section after his mother died. This is the opposite of the generally mistaken belief that Julius Caesar was born in this manner, as his mother was still alive when he invaded Britain.
Figure 4: A Page from al-Firdawsi's Shahname showing the Birth of Rustam. A Seventeenth century Persian Manuscript, Wellcome Institute Library, London.
Al-Biruni also mentioned that Ahmad Ibn Sahl, who was a leader of a revolution against the Samanid ruler Nasr II (914-943 CE) of Transaxiana, was born by post-mortem Caesarean section. But the most important and unique evidence is to be found in one of the 24 pictures in this manuscript. This picture gives a clear description of a Caesarean section and is the earliest known book illustration of such an operation (Figure 5). Its importance is even greater when consideration is given to the antiquity of the author.
Figure 5: Caesarean section as illustrated in the Manuscript of al-Biruni, Al-Athar al-Baqiyah `an al-Qurun al-Khaliyah, MS 161, Edinburgh University.
It seems relevant to mention at this stage that, during the same period, Firdawsi (935-1025 CE) the famous Persian poet, finished his Shahnama. In this epic of 60 000 couplets he vividly described Caesarean section. Apart from the colourful and fascinating description of this operation, he also mentioned the use of anaesthesia during the operation [13]. The miniature in Figures 1,2,3 and 4 show a page at Al-Firdawsi's 17th century manuscript illustrating the well known story of the birth of Rustam. Another unique example of artistic representation of Caesarean section is reproduced in Figure 6, it is dated 1352 by Binyon [14].

5. Conclusion
Many purely religious references have been collected by a German author in a short paper supporting the view that this operation was never prohibited by any well known authority amongst Muslims [15]. The most important reference cited by this author is of Abu Hanifa (699-767 CE), a highly respected Islamic jurist, who was of the opinion that Caesarean section was allowed on living or dead pregnant women.
In conclusion, it is fair to say that the opinion of some authors that surgery was discouraged and Caesarean section was prohibited by early Muslims was based on unreliable evidence. A search of literature which has already been edited and translated supports the view that early Muslim medical and religious authorities were the first to mention this operation in text and poetry and even to illustrate it in pictures.

The Ottomans paid great attention to medical practice and they were also greatly interested in the education and practice of physicians, surgeons and oculists. Many of these practiced their art both in and outside the palace, specially in major cities; and as members of the guilds they belonged to the Palace. The medical staff of the Palace, the medical madrasa in Istanbul and the practicing physicians in hospitals were expected to follow developments in medical sciences and even promote them. This original article by Professor Nil Sari presents a study of Ottoman medical practice and science based on new materials such as archival documents and manuscripts. Contributions of Ibn al-Nafis to the Progress of Medicine and Urology by: Professor Rabie E. Abdel-HalimProfessor Rabie E. Abdel-Halim
This primary-source study of four medical works of the 13th century Muslim scholar Ibn al-Nafis confirmed that his Kitab al-Mûjaz fi al-Tibb was authored as an independent book. It was meant as a handbook for medical students and practitioners not as an epitome of Kitab al-Qanun of Ibn Sina as thought by recent historians. Ibn al-Nafis' huge medical encyclopedia Al-Shamil represents a wave of intense scientific activity that spread among the scholars of Cairo and Damascus in the 13th century. Like his predecessors in the Islamic Era, Ibn al-Nafis critically appraised the views of scholars before him in the light of his own experimentation and direct observations. Accordingly, we find in his books the first description of the coronary vessels and the true concept of the blood supply of the heart as well as the correct description of the pulmonary circulation and the beginnings of the proper understanding of the systemic circulation. Those discoveries, spreading from East to West, were translated into Latin by Andreas Alpagus and appeared in the works of European scholars from Servetus to Harvey. Furthermore, this study documented several other contributions of Ibn al-Nafis to the progress of human functional anatomy and to advances in medical and surgical practice.

Beauty Cabinet Confidential: Frederique van der Wal
Ever wondered what the bathroom of a supermodel looks like? Frederique van der Wal, a top model who has appeared on the pages of Victoria's Secret famous catalog and and on the cover of magazines like Harper's Bazaar and Cosmopolitan, lets us in on her beauty routine.
Frederique van der Wal's Beauty Secrets
Frederique van der Wal may be one of the most recognizable faces in the modeling world, but we wanted to see how this Supermodel gets her visibly flawless skin and natural glow. So, we stepped into her bathroom for a run through on what it takes to look this good.
Her Must-Have Products
Frederique's vanity is lined with iconic must-have items: Face Stockholm Essential C Energizing Serum, Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre, Maybelline Great Lash Mascara, Nivea Cold Cream, Bobbi Brown Tinted Moisturizer, Guerlaine Terracotta Light Sheer Bronzing compact, and a Stila eye shadow compact to name a few.
Real Beauty:What are some of your absolute daily beauty rituals?
Frederique van der Wal: "I always clean my face before bed. Always. I use Nivea Cold Cream to cleanse and then rinse with cold water to help close up my pores. And, I never ever forget to moisturize. I usually use a heavier cream, like Embryolisse, before bed."
RB: What about diet? Anything you do or don't do?
FVDW: I don't really diet and I don't eat a lot of fried food or processed food.
Favorite Products
RB: You have so many skin products to choose from, which ones are your favorite?
FVDW: "Your skin gets used to things, so I switch between my cleansing and moisturizing products quite often. This doesn't happen with makeup, so I stick to the ones I love - the ones I've been using for years."
RB: What if you're running late? What products do you typically reach for before dashing out the door?
FVDW: Skin should look fresh, that's why I always remember to moisturize so my skin looks healthy and in the summer I add an SPF to my routine. Sometimes I'll forget mascara or blush, but I will never forget eyeliner - it helps me look wide awake even if I'm not.
Hair Routine
RB: We noticed that you have tons of different shampoos and conditioners in your shower. What's your typical hair routine?
FVDW: Don't wash your hair everyday, it's not healthy. Like your skin, your hair gets used to the same shampoo and conditioner, so I switch it up basically every time I wash.
Makeup Bag Essentials
RB: Can we take a peek inside your makeup bag?
FVDW: Of course! I've got all my essentials: Shu Uemera Eye Lash Curler, Maybelline Great Lash Mascara, a MAC nude lipstick [editor's note: she's had this forever and the name tag is long gone!], bronzer, and a Stila eye liner.
Beauty Runs in the Family
RB: Does your daughter ever borrow any of your makeup or skin products?
FVDW: "No, she's 10! I mean, I let her use some lip gloss sometimes if we're going to a fashion thing, but that's it."
RB: We love your bracelet! Where is it from?
FVDW:The dutch jewelry designer, Bibi van der Velden, gave this to me to wear. Its a symbol of "good gold." The production of gold jewelery has been linked to widespread social injustice and environmental damage. I firmly believe in corporate social sustainability - in my company, Frederique's Choice, and now by making a statement wearing this bracelet.
Frederique's Choice
RB: We noticed that you have flowers all over your house. Are they from your flower company and can you tell us a little bit about Frederique's Choice?
FVDW: I'm Dutch and flowers are a very important part of our lifestyle. I read recently that flowers can have a positive effect on your mood, so I keep them everywhere. The Frederiques Choice lily was named after me, which inspired me to work with the Discovery Channel to create a show that documented the growth and transport of flowers around the world. In the end, I began my own flower company to share my passion and start a new focus in my life.

8-year-old boy saves drowning girl in Chelmsford
CHELMSFORD, Mass. (WHDH) -- An 8-year-boy lauded as a hero. Jessica Levassuer was teaching her son Devin how to swim at Freeman Lake Thursday night-until he made a shocking discovery.
"I saw her," said Devin, "the little girl, floating. And I thought she was trying to float on her back."
"Mom, he says, I want to learn how to float like that," said Jessica Levassuer.
Instead, what he saw was a three-year-old girl lying lifeless, face up in the water.
"I started running towards her," said Levassuer, "and then I see one last like, bubble come out of her mouth."
Levassuer said she scooped the limp girl up, and brought her to shore. The three-year-old then began to spit up water and cry.
According to police, the girl's mother said she left her daughter in ankle-deep water for a minute or two.
"This lady EMT said, 'you were very lucky to have got her when you did.'"
But the Lowell mom said her son Devin was the one responsible for spotting her.
When Devin was asked if he was a hero now, he pointed to his mother, "She is."
"You are," said Jessica Levassuer.
Devin said he aspires to be a police officer to help people…as well as other perks.
"I want to be a cop because the cops like donuts, and I like donuts too."
Police said the girl's vitals seemed fine, but she was taken to the hospital for observation.

York, IC prep for fall football with summer passing-focused competitions
ELMHURST – It's not perfect, but it is fun.
Not all coaches are fond of 7-on-7 football, but players seem to love it. It breaks up the grind of summer practices and is effective at teaching certain skills, like route-running and offensive chemistry.
"The kids love it more than the coaches I think," IC Catholic coach Bill Krefft said. "I think it's beneficial. It's not 100-percent perfect, and I don't expect it to be."

ST. LOUIS — Monday's St. Louis Blues practice seemed as if the coaches put their fingers on the "fast forward" button and never let up.
With a rare break in the lockout-condensed schedule and three days off before facing Chicago on Thursday, Blues coach Ken Hitchcock presided over a high-intensity, high-tempo workout that lasted more than an hour.
Hitchcock said only 12 non-game day practice remaining this season, so each one takes on greater significance.
"Everything we're practicing are game-like situations, but they're done at a really high tempo," Hitchcock said. "We're trying to really get as much as we can from every drill. We're trying to make guys play with proper precision while being tired, and that's the big challenge."
The Blues (10-6-2) are 4-1-1 in their previous six games and coming off a 2-1 home victory over Columbus on Saturday that ended a five-game home losing streak.
Hitchcock is hoping to improve his team's overall fitness level while also fine-tuning mistakes that had crept into recent games. Monday's focus was transition and tempo.
"Every drill we did today was extended, so you still have to perform at a high level even though you're tired and trying to catch your breath," Hitchcock said. "If we do that for three days, I think by the time we get ready to play on Thursday we'll be a better team because of it."
The practice included scrimmaging, one-on-one battle drills and an extra-large order of skating.
"It's about getting better," Blues winger Andy McDonald said. "Normally you have that time where you can work on different types of drills. It's a little bit more physical, a little bit more tiresome, but with the schedule it's just been impossible to do.
"It came at a good time for us. Guys expected it and it was a good day."
Hitchcock said teams around the league are noticing a difference between players who played during the lockout and others who worked out on their own.
The Blues' top players in terms of ice time are defenseman Alex Pietrangelo (averaging 25 minutes, 48 seconds), defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk (22:12) and defenseman Barret Jackman (19:44).
Among the forwards, T.J. Oshie, David Backes, David Perron and Alex Steen all average more than 18 minutes.
"If you look around the league right now ... probably 85 or 90 percent of the time, the players that didn't play have hit the wall and they're struggling," he said. "We've got to punch through with that. You can't just rest them up and think that's going to work.
"We're trying to get through that and this is a great opportunity for us."
Tarasenko update
Blues winger Vladimir Tarasenko, who suffered a concussion last Wednesday after being blindsided by Colorado's Mark Olver, remains out of action.
"He's not able to practice, he doesn't feel good enough to participate physically," Hitchcock said. "He's feeling better, but not at the level where he can come on the ice. When he starts being able to come around and practice and perform, then that s a big step for him. But he's not there yet."
Attention to detail
Hitchcock is becoming upset with the Blues' continued penalties for too many men on the ice.
"We're too impatient," he said. "We got caught three times this year already where we've been coming out of a power play and we've had a forward change for the D-man and the D-man's gone on too quickly."
Worth noting
* Blues goalie Jaroslav Halak is 16-1-1 in his last 18 home starts. He has allowed only nine goals in his previous 11 home games with six shutouts during that span.
* Former Blues goalie Ben Bishop was named the NHL's Third Star of the Week. The Ottawa Senators netminder was 3-0 last week with a 2.03 goals-against average and .931 save percentage, winning twice in shootouts.
* Former Blues captain and NHL Most Valuable Player Chris Pronger stopped by the team's practice facility on Monday.

So I don't know exactly how well your detective skills are but, this is a roleplay based on the charming world of Sword Art Online, which we all know is a virtual world(duh!).
So furthermore, lets begin!
The fateful story begins with the announcement of the new up and coming virtual reality roleplaying game. This is the first game of it's kind, sending it's players into an entirely virtual world where you control your character not with a keyboard, but your own thoughts. Selling out at 12:03am of opening night you are amongst the lucky ten thousand people who have gotten your hands on a copy. Frantically scurrying home you plug in, slipping on your helmet. Once you pat yourself down to calibrate the system you lay down and soon your mind is racing down a virtual highway where you take your first steps before becoming the best you can be.
As you login you begin your journey either exploring the city and the surrounding expanses of virtual goodness or getting used to the combat system. But later on you begin to feel a grumbly in the tumbly that only the sweetest of Italian flatbreads with assorted toppings with a tomato sauce median. But alas, as you open the menu the Log Out button has magically disappeared and there is no way to manual log out. And off in the distance the sound of a loud gong draws your attention, suddenly your body begins to glow and you randomly appear in the middle of town square with apparently everyone else. Looking around in confusion a red tint fills the sky and appears a giant hooded figure in the sky.
Introducing himself as Kayaba Akihiko, the chief developer of the Sword Art Online and the NerveGear (The helmet that is the conduit from Real world to Virtual world). He then informs you that the removal of the log out button was not a bug but I means to bring his dreams to fruition. His plan was to create a world that he was a God, control of all things. He then went on to explain that if someone on the outside tried to remove the NerveGear it would send a microwave burst and fry the brain, killing the host. Also, if your health within the game reaches zero, again... you dead for realsies. No take backs.
In shock and disbelief Kayaba reassured his words truthfulness he then pulled up news report after news report of over one hundred cases of people dying from their family members removing the helmet.
About this Roleplay.
Oh, I almost didn't see you there. You're looking as dashing as ever. *wink* But in all seriousness here is a list of things to expect from this Roleplay.
- A small dedicated group of people with a desire for character development and action with a delightful sprinkle of romance. I am looking for no more than 10 players.
- This Roleplay is set one month after the event. With this you can have some range of diversifying your character into something unique.
- This roleplay based around a small guild of our characters. They aren't amongst the leading Guilds on the front lines.
- Our guild though not on the front lines are the fifth from the top guilds, meaning we aren't push overs but it gives us some space to not solely do front lines work but have some side objectives and etc.
- Within Aincrad (The Virtual world within Sword Art Online) the first six floors have been beat and currently clearing out floor seven and leveling and strategizing for the floor boss; Which we will talk about whether or not we want to join that boss fight.
Things and stuff that differ from the series.
I know what you're thinking! "El Tigre, I understand you want to make a Sword Art Online RP. Are we going to be keeping the original cast of character?" I am glad you ask that, random person. No, the original cast will not be participating in this endeavor. I only want to see well developed original characters. This is about the only thing that differs, at least that I can think of. Glad we kept this short and sweet.
A guide to understanding the world.
- The world of Sword Art Online is known as Aincrad and their currency is known Col. (Think of 1 Col equal to 1 Gold piece.)
- Unlike most online games Sword Art Online does not have a magic system. Though there is a throwing mechanic for daggers or stones, or maybe tossing a friend a health pack, there is no real ranged 'class' making the world even more dangerous as your combats are up close and personal making the threat of losing your life very much real.
- You can use any melee weapon you can think of, exotic or classic. This option is totally up to you. Along with this your fighting style is also completely up to you.
- Within Sword Art Online there isn't a Class system, everyone starts off the same. A blank slate that develops as you level by the choices you make and how you play your character.
- The World is set up in a floor system, ranging from floor 1 to floor 100. Each floor progresses in difficulty and you can only get to the next floor by defeating the floor boss.
- There is a dueling system within Sword Art Online, this can be done anywhere and once a players health reaches 1HP they are declared the loser and their health returns to the health they had before the duel, as long as the duel is done within town limits. Outside of town limits a duel can have deadly consequences. Seriously, deadly. As in you die.
- Player kills [known as PK] are allowed though not within town limits. Killing another player will flag your name in red and mark you as a criminal. Red Names aren't able to access town limits.
- Clean names are green, people who steal or commit mild crimes names turn orange and previously stated Red names are above.
This is a Sword art online RP with a small group of characters. It is one month after the release of the game. Join us and have a dandy ol' time with this lovely series.

Starch Contest Winner—it was the scallops what did it.
October 9, 2010 - 8:31am | by wfertmanAlright, after a week's worth of consideration, and a number of worthy entries, I've made my biased and arbitrary decision: Alyssa Dyane's seafood risotto has won her a kilo of Vialone Nano risotto rice.
Besides including the tasty scallop, there were two decisive elements to Alyssa's win...
Starch Contest! Win Italy's best risotto rice and help me out.
October 4, 2010 - 6:27pm | by wfertmanWill someone give me a hand?
The Veneto region grows one of the world's best strains of rice. Vialone Nano is a short grain that's hard to find in US stores, but is supposed to beat Arborio in the risotto game.
I learned this on two successive trips to two rice producers, where I was given six 2 lb. bags of this rice to take home with me. My backneck hurts just looking at it. Anyone want a bag?
Post your favorite risotto recipe in the comments. I will send the best recipe a heavy, heavy bag of premium-quality Vialone Nano.

Darian Hagan might be the best quarterback to ever put on a uniform at the University of Colorado.
On Tuesday, he was honored for the great memories he provided during his time at CU. Hagan was announced as one of six members of the Class of 2014 for the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame.
"Elated would be putting it mildly," Hagan said with his trademark smile. "It's a privilege, it's an honor to be elected to the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame. I would dedicate it all to my former teammates. I had some good guys that I played along with. Pretty much all I had to do was hand the ball off or pitch it."
Hagan will go into the Hall of Fame with former CU basketball coach Forrest "Frosty" Cox, former Denver Broncos running back Otis Armstrong, former Colorado Rockies slugger Todd Helton, former Colorado College football and hockey great Andy Gambucci and former Denver Post columnist Dorothy Mauk.
The class will be honored at the 50th annual induction banquet on April 17 at the Denver Marriott City Center.
"Every kid and every person ... when you play sports, you want to be recognized for things that you accomplished," Hagan said. "I'm amazed, but when you play with great guys and you do some things that people get excited about, things happen for you."
Hagan, who went to Locke High School in Los Angeles, came to CU in 1988. He quarterbacked the Buffs to their only national championship in 1990.
Hagan went 28-5-2 as a starter for the Buffs, including 20-0-1 in Big Eight Conference play. He finished his career with 3,801 passing yards and 2,007 rushing yards.
"I had a lot of great moments -- a lot of victories, a lot of big-time games, playing against big-time opponents," he said. "Even though I didn't get an opportunity to finish, I would say (the best moment) was our national championship game the year we won it in 1990. Just the feeling of elation, knowing that we were No. 1 and being able to enjoy that moment with all my teammates, even though I was injured."
Hagan said the play fans remember most when they talk to him is the 70-yard pitch he made to J.J. Flannigan during a 1989 victory against Nebraska at Folsom Field. Hagan was 40 yards down field when he made the pitch.
His favorite play, he said, was a 78-yard option pitch to Mike Pritchard during a 1990 tie against Tennessee in the Pigskin Classic.
In 2002, Hagan was elected to the CU Athletic Hall of Fame. He said he is also a member of the hall of fame at Locke High School.

As I think we will show last week 43 of the attorney general's in this country wrote a letter saying exactly what I said back in May please please please extend this relief that it will be devastating homeowners -- them.
Tax liability -- in other words let's say there's a 100000 dollars stepped from a foreclosure that.
That -- lender has forgiven you the homeowner what have to pay ordinary income tax.

text: Home Culture My Man Refuses to Take an HIV Test Ask Demetria: Five ways to get him to a screening. Because your health isn't worth the risk. By: Demetria L. Lucas Posted: Dec. 1 2011 1:43 PM 0 Thinkstock My partner refuses to take an HIV test. He says he hasn't cheated and he's clean, so he doesn't see the point. I never thought he was unfaithful but now wonder if he has something to hide. It would make me more comfortable if I knew his results since I know mine. How do I get him to get tested? --A.K. There's a popular Arab proverb that goes, "Trust in Allah, and guard your camel." It has many meanings, one of which is, loosely, "Have faith, but don't be stupid." Apply this philosophy to your relationship and keep insisting that your partner get tested. We all want to believe the best about our partners, that they wouldn't possibly cheat, but studies estimate that 50 percent of married men and 45 percent of married women do cheat on their spouses (the numbers for people "just" in relationships are likely higher). And it's not as if all these cheating people confess when confronted like a cornered criminal in Law & Order. Additionally, if your partner hasn't been tested, then there is no way he can know his status. He's guessing and hoping for the best and, essentially, asking you to do the same -- which is bad business. Here's why: African Americans are the racial-ethnic group most affected by HIV. We make up less than 13 percent of the U.S. population but account for 44 percent of all new HIV infections, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. AIDS is now the leading cause of death for African-American women ages 25-34, and 85 percent of black women with HIV acquired the virus through heterosexual sex. In order to get him to get tested, you're going to have to work around his fear. "Getting men to willingly submit to HIV testing is very difficult," says Alduan Tartt, Ph.D., psychologist and author of The Ring Formula: How to Be the Only One He Ever Needs. "Men don't like to appear inadequate or flawed in any way because our adequacy is the core of our manhood and ego. We don't want to be told that something is wrong with us. We would rather suffer in silence and be in denial than for the doctor to confirm that we are sick, diseased or dying." Now that you know what you're up against, here are five tips to get through it. 1. Empower your partner. Let him know his HIV status isn't just about him. He has family and friends who rely on him, care about him and want the best for him. He is potentially putting them in jeopardy by not being informed about his health. "Make it about the 'we' and not the 'I'," says Dr. Rachel Ross, a medical practitioner in Gary, Ind., and clinically trained sexologist. Often when women say to their partners, "I want you to get tested," it's misconstrued as an accusation about illness or infidelity. "If it's 'you, you, you' or 'I, I, I,' no one goes for it, and they end up being offended," adds Ross. Instead, present your desire to get tested as a way to show that you both care enough about each other to learn the truth about your health, and you want all the cards on the clichéd table. Ross suggests framing the idea of getting tested as an attempt to renew, reinforce and recommit to your relationship. Page 1 of 3 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

Schubert: The Complete Songs
40CDs Boxed set + book (at a special price)
Schubert: The Hyperion Schubert Edition, Vol. 34
Archive Service; also available on CDS44201/40
We do not know how and where Mayrhofer came upon this story; there were various contemporary books in German which dealt with classical mythology. One of the most important of these was Götterlehre oder mythologische Dichtungen der Alten by Karl Philipp Moritz (Vienna and Prague, 1801) where the myth is told through the perspective of Roman legend, and is subtly different from the Greek version. In Moritz, the story of Attis is discussed directly after that of Ganymed (where Goethes poem is quoted in full). We read that Atys (Mayrhofer also spells it thus) left his home country and hastened, voluntarily, to the Phrygian woods in order to dedicate himself to the service of Cybele. For violating a vow of chastity he was punished by madness and self-inflicted castration (Entmannung). Moritz tells his readers that in a beautiful poem from the ancient world, Attis, temporarily having regained his sanity, dreams of returning to his homeland over the sea. The goddess reappears with her lion-borne chariot, and the youth becomes mad again. He serves the goddess for the rest of his days, Moritz says, in weibischer Weichlichkeit a phrase describing effeminate unmanliness which makes the authors distaste for such a condition quite clear.
The beautiful poem from the ancient world is the Attis poem of Catullus (Carmina LXIII). It seems likely that Mayrhofer was able to by-pass such books as the guide by Moritz, and read this work in a German translation (for example, J X Mayr 1786, Leipzig and Vienna) or even the original Latin. Indeed all of this poets work inspired by mythology seems to owe something to Catulluss practice of re-dramatising a myth from a new and imaginative angle. It is unlikely, for example, that Mayrhofer would have written Lied eines Schiffers an die Dioskuren without knowing the Catullus poem (Carmina IV) about the old sailor home from the sea, and dedicated to the worship of Castor and Pollux. In Catullus, as in Mayrhofer, Attiss love for Sagaritis plays no part in the scenario; instead the Roman poet concentrates on Attiss unmanly enslavement to the cult of Cybele, and a brief moment when the youth desires to escape from its thrall. The whole poem is told from the viewpoint of a man trapped in the body of a notha mulier an ersatz woman, a being neither male nor female, caught in a similar limbo to those effeminate souls thought to be women trapped in male bodies. Ego mulier, ego adolescens, ego ephebus, ego puer Attis says a woman I, a young man, an ephebe, a child. Relieved of his madness for a short while, he longs to return to his homeland where, he says, he was once the flower of the gymnasium ego gymnasi fui flos and admired by all. Now he is condemned to live a life of shame, life-long a female slave as Catullus puts it in Guy Lees translation. This moment of regret (Now what I have done appals me; I am sorry for it now) ceases when the furious goddess unleashes her lion, Ferox, to ensure that Attis returns to a state of madness, and a life in her service.
Like Catullus, Mayrhofer ignores why and when the youth was castrated in the first place. What seems important to the Austrian poet is that within the arcane framework of classical references understood by those who looked to Greek history and mythology for a justification of their existence, Attis was the effeminate archetype, unmanned not by his own choosing, but as a result of the hand of the unreasonable gods. His condition is innate, and his sorrow and grief are undeserved and unjust. The first part of the Mayrhofer poem concentrates on the youths unassuaged longing to return to the safety and normality of his homeland. This is followed by a flashback which recounts how he begged to enter the goddesss service in the first place. Mayrhofers third verse describes Attiss life as bleak and barren, no doubt because the youth felt himself different from other people; he allowed the goddess to spirit him away to a life of decadent and orgiastic celebration (Capell, with the English good taste of 1928, calls this a peculiar priesthood). Having lived as a Maenad, half me, a male unmanned, he realises, when granted a short period of lucidity, that he yearns for the love and acceptance of his family. Attis hears the cymbals of the returning goddess, and rather than submit to a return of the madness of his former life he throws himself from the top of Dindymus, the mountain of the goddess. With the words er stürzt von Höhn, Schuberts poet departs from the other sources: unlike Catullus, the poet makes the boy jump to his death; he dies in the way that Mayrhofer himself chose (in 1836) as his own means of suicide.
The poem is to be found in the privately printed edition of Mayrhofers poems (1824) but does not appear in the second edition edited by Feuchtersleben in 1843.
Perhaps the omission of a poem with uncomfortable inferences is significant. This monologue of someone caught between a rock and a hard place is the plaint of an unmanned individual who belongs nowhere. Of course, we can read into this poem the plight of the transsexual, something quite different from a mere question of sexual orientation, and this is perhaps the deeper meaning of the myth. But it is doubtful, surely, that Mayrhofer was dealing with this topic. The present-day equivalent of his implied scenario would be a someone who has run away to the big city from a safe rural community; someone who has been lured into a life of sexual abandon where a mad frenzy of drink, drugs and discos only accentuates his unhappiness. The more he becomes part of this twilight world, the more impossible it is for him to return; he is spurned by his family and those he loves. He is the victim of both his physical and his psychological state, someone unable to reconcile his outer physical being with his spiritual centre. This theme recalls Memnon, another Schubert/Mayrhofer collaboration. Surely both these songs are elaborate classical metaphors for the plight of the Urning. (This term, deriving from Venus Urania see the commentary on Uranians Flucht in Volume 14 was coined by Karl Friedrich Ulrichs in the 1860s, long before the term homosexual was invented; Ulrichs was the first German champion of gay rights, and the author of many tracts on the subject, one of which was entitled Memnon.) Attis longs for love and acceptance (this feeling lies at the heart of the beauty of the Schubert setting) but he remains eternally condemned to a life of shame.
Catulluss viewpoint is ambiguous. He has a distaste for the hysterical plaint he puts in the mouth of Attis, but there is also pity: this could be summed up by there, but for the grace of the gods, go I. The Roman poet ends with the envoy Far from my house be all that frenzy of yours, O Queen. / Drive others to elation, drive other raving mad! In the morality of BC Rome, the AC-DC love of Catullus for his Juventius and for his Lesbia, were passionate without being unhinged. Cybele seems here embodied as a merciless and exacting life force, a metaphor perhaps for what we might think of today as an uncontrolled and self-destructive sex drive. The Austrian poet here finds in the classics the perfect justification for dwelling on this topic, and he too is obviously far from happy with the wilder urgings of nature. He has a horror of unbridled license, and in making Attis plunge to his death he makes the youth do something he deems honourable, even necessary. (This reminds us of Shot? so quick, so clean an ending? / Oh, that was right, lad, that was brave: / Yours was not an ill for mending, / Twas best to take it to the grave by A E Housman, an expert on Catullus as it happens.) This response is typical of the more masculine homosexuals disapproval of effeminacy, which can stem from self-loathing and fear of identification; the Attis of legend continues his life of involuntary depravity, but the nineteenth-century equivalent must commit suicide. It is clear that Mayrhofer, manly in his demeanour, was no Attis; but in the large transvestite (and perhaps transsexual) world of Mayrhofers Vienna, there must have been many a boy (and girl) enduring similar mental tortures, and it is of these outcasts that poet and composer sing. Like the majority of writers until relatively recent times, Mayrhofer chooses to emphasise the sadness of this demi-monde, and the inevitability of a tragic ending. It is interesting that another, even more substantial, work of art devoted to this myth is the opera Atys (1676) by Jean Baptiste Lully, a famously homosexual composer.
Little wonder, then, that this is one of Schuberts most elusive songs. The commentators on the whole find nothing very exceptional about it: Reed states that there is little attempt at dramatic immediacy and Capell finds the music mild and the composer untouched. He notes the absence of something exotic some corybantic display (this adjective shows Capells classical learning it derives from the Corybantes, wild, half-demonic beings, given to orgiastic rituals, who attended Cybele, the Asiatic earth mother). But surely Capell knew Schubert the man better than this? The decadent trappings which could be made to tart up this story were uninteresting to this composer in comparison to the bitter-sweetness of the human dilemma facing the benighted Attis. It is as well to remember that many people have found Schubert wanting in the erotic imagery of Ganymed, particularly when it comes to comparing his setting with Hugo Wolfs. In actual fact Schubert comes closer to the poems freshness and vitality, its unselfconscious sensuality, than the music written in the sexually aware hothouse of the later nineteenth century.
One can understand the shy and retiring mood of this song better if one realises that the composer must have felt great compassion (and, who knows, perhaps some fellow-feeling) for the youth rendered gentle and effeminate through castration which was as much a mental given as a physical taken away. Indeed, Schuberts music softens the story, and comments on it, with more tenderness than Mayrhofer has to muster. The composer had responded to the outcast Gretchen with wonderful empathy, and Attis is similarly treated with an understanding that shows extraordinary emotional maturity. This subject is honoured with music in the key of A minor, with changes into A major a ravishing tonal ambiguity which here hauntingly conveys exotic (pace Capell) ambiguity of gender a change of key which the composer reserves for music by which he is deeply touched (cf the A minor/A major plea for a return to the values of antiquity in Die Götter Griechenlands). Thus the lack of virility in the setting is purely deliberate. The introduction begins in unison between the hands (Reed notes a similarity to the opening of the Arpeggione sonata). The gently rocking 6/8 rhythm encompasses music that is dreamy and full of longing; the wilting modal decorations which punctuate the vocal line (a motif encompassing the rise of a sharpened Lydian fourth, D sharp in the key of A minor, to E, a semitone higher) suggest longing as well as the soft swooning of a yielding nature. There is something restless about the melodic line, as if it were straining to be complete but never manages to be so. Thus the tune for übers grüne Meer is the same as for Ufer kam er her when we might have expected the melody to have developed or modulated by its sixth bar. The change to the major comes about at the end of the strophe (at im rauschenden Fluge bringen) which lifts the music to a higher plane of longing. Schubert has built into the music the aching realisation that Attiss request to return home is never to be granted.
The melody of the second strophe is based on that of the first. Attis speaks for the first time (O Heimweh! Unergründlicher Schmerz). The whole of this verse remains in the minor tonality. Once again this music seems to be a musical metaphor for something incomplete, for something straining in vain to come full circle. Schubert is aware that this meant to be the music of antiquity, so the rippling semiquaver accompaniment suggests the harp-like arpeggiations of an ancient lyre. Attis longs for the unattainable, as does the miller-boy in Am Feierabend in Die schöne Müllerin: there is much in common between these two pieces of music including the tonality, time signature, accompaniment and changes to the major key at the moment when the unattainable is mentioned and made to blossom in the vocal line (this happens at the only moment in the cycle where the phrase die schöne Müllerin is given voice). The fruit that ripens gloriously mentioned in this verse is obviously Attiss beauty and his reputation (which had been much honoured and praised, hence mention of gold and purple, colours of honour and nobility) ruined by his deadly affliction.
The middle section of the song is a quasi-recitative, an arioso marked Geschwind. Here Schubert seems to have remembered the Gluckian studies of his youth, and with some justification the appearance of a dea ex machina in verse 2 is worthy of an opera by that composer. The words Ich liebe, ich rase, ich hab sie gesehn are set to a bracing and wide-ranging vocal line supported by chords punched out at the piano on the second and fourth beats of the bar. Here madness owes its depiction to the manner of the Iphigénie operas, and it must have seemed to Schubert that this was appropriate to a Grecian subject, so much had he learned to identify antiquity with Glucks style. At ich musste flehn Attis begins to recount his encounter with Cybele. The chromatic wandering of this section paints the disorientation of a supernatural experience. The accompaniment shepherds the vocal line through a maze of harmonic changes from C major to D flat major, and thence to C flat major, and a thicket of flats as far removed from the accidental-free purity of A minor as it is possible to imagine. The pleading eloquence of Wirst du meine Bitte versagen? is repeated a semitone higher which results in a tone of almost feminine pathos. The description of the goddesss reaction (the music is marked at a slower tempo at Sie schaute mit gütigem Lächeln mich an) is as sweet and unreal as a dream in slow motion. The music here has the silken seductiveness of the Erlkings promises of a happy existence; a major-key simplicity marries charm and gentleness with something deeper and more ominous. A short recitative which, it is true, might have been more dramatic to please Capell and Reed, returns us to the present, and Attiss terrified waking state; the words kein Gott will sich hülfreich erzeigen seems passive, helpless, and frozen to the spot. A short interlude prepares the path back to the A minor of the home key.
And so for the last verse of the we return to the plaintive music of the opening as common time yields to a wafting 6/8. This is the mood which is at the heart of the poem, and Schuberts response to it. Once again the change from A minor to A major works its magic; this time it is at the words ich jenseits der Wellen where the raised third of the scale lifts the music into the major key, and with it all of Attiss hopes for a return to a better life. How well this composer understood what it is to dream of what could not be! The tragedy of Mayrhofers closing lines could have been expanded to make something remarkably dramatic, but Schuberts prefers to throw them away in a swift recitative as if he understands that this suicide is a decision taken in a moment of desperation; it is the moment when the beleaguered spirit, already stretched as far as it can bear, longs to end the pain. In mythological terms, a follower of Cybele would not be able to make such an easy exit, but this end is a feasible solution for the nineteenth century.
The last words of the poem, waldige Stellen, are followed by an E major chord as if in secco recitative. This is an upbeat to an A minor aria, but an aria without voice. The singer is no more, as if a vocal line suddenly struck dumb were a metaphor for castration, and an accompaniment without a soloist signals the death of the protagonist. The piano is an ersatz singer, standing in for the real thing as much as Attis has been notha mulier. Thus we find ourselves in a state of musical limbo that is unique in Schuberts lieder. This feeling is intensified by the fact that for eight bars, underneath this singerless aria, we are not allowed to hear a chord in root position. That this is the longest postlude in all the Schubert songs (eleven bars) shows how deeply the composer was involved in this story. The first four bars comprise the repeat of a two-bar phrase. This is the music of yearning: over those familiar rippling semiquavers a rising scale, aspiring upwards (BCDE) is limned in by the little finger of the right hand and then again for two bars as if trying again to do something that has failed at the first attempt. The bass line is an E, and the music is built on various elaborations of E major as the dominant of A minor. We long, like Attis, to go home, for a bass note to return us to the tonic. Instead, with almost painful rapture, the music blossoms into A major with rippling chord patterns in the right hand, fuller than any we have heard so far. But still the bass is a second inversion (or 6/4 in harmonic terms), and the effect of this passage (again a two-bar cell which is repeated) is gently sensual, infinitely sad as only Schuberts major-key music can be, and offering neither bliss, nor resolution.
Only in the last three bars of the postlude does the piano return to the tonic (A minor) with music that derives from the introduction. For the first time in the song the rippling semiquavers are to be found in the depths of the bass clef; the left hands descent is eloquent testimony to Attiss fall from divine grace. We are reminded of that wonderful bar of left-hand music at the very end of Der Müller und der Bach from Die schöne Müllerin, also deep in the bass clef, which signals the suicide of the miller-boy as he slips beneath the water. As we have already noted, this is not the only link with Atys; indeed, this song, written eight years before the great cycle, is one of several earlier manifestations of the composers compassion for outcasts and misfits. Reed and Capell may not think it a cut above the rest, but Atys was one of the Schubert songs most loved by Peter Pears and Benjamin Britten.

Tigers' Season Comes to an End in NCAA First Round
March 6, 2009
March 6, 2009, Bloomington, Ill. — DePauw shot a season-low 25.8 percent from the field and was outrebounded by 14 as ninth-ranked Wisconsin-Eau Claire defeated the 22nd-ranked Tigers, 62-50 in the NCAA Division III first round at Illinois Wesleyan.
DePauw finished the season at 22-6, while the Blugolds improved to 24-5 and advanced to Saturday's second round.
The Tigers got off to a slow start missing their first seven shots and falling behind 7-0 in the opening four minutes. Wisconsin-Eau Claire stretched their lead to a first-half high of 10 points at 15-5 with just over 12 minutes left in the half on Heidi Arciszewski's bucket.
DePauw tied the game at 18-18 on Cassie Pruzin's three with 7:54 left which capped an 8-1 run. The Blugolds scored the next six and went to the break with a 28-22 lead.
The second half didn't start well for the Tigers either as they hit just one of their first 17 field goal tries and trailed by as many as 20 points at 45-25 with just under 12 minutes remaining.
The Wisconsin-Eau Claire lead was still 16 before Lauren Goff and Pruzin knocked in threes to cut the margin to 51-41 with 4:49 left. The Blugolds put together a 9-2 stretch to seal the victory.
"We didn't have our best game tonight, but we kept fighting," DePauw head coach Kris Huffman said. "It was really a struggle for us tonight."
DePauw hit just 17 of 66 from the field and eight of a school-record 31 three-pointers, while the Blugolds hit 42.9 percent from the floor. Wisconsin-Eau Claire held a 50-36 rebounding lead against the Division III rebound margin leader and outscored the Tigers in the paint, 32-12.
Pruzin led the Tigers with 15 points on five three-pointers, while Emily Marshall grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds.
Hannah Mesick paced Wisconsin-Eau Claire with 18 points, while Arciszewski followed with 15. Ellen Plendl grabbed 11 rebounds and Heather Witt dished out five assists.
Pruzin, Andrea Travelstead and Sarah Merkel finished their DePauw careers as part of a class which amassed a four-year record of 110-15.

I won't call this the greatest song ever. But you put Shakira and Beyonce together on film, I'm there, I don't care if they are singing the Muffin Man while wearing muumuus. Some things are just right.
Kind of a nice, yet odd weekend.
Saturday I cleaned out the gutters, bought new jeans because only god is holding my old ones together, and played some Crackdown. Oh, and we took Stella to Toys R Us, her first time.
It was like kiddie crack for her. She'd grab something, call it her favorite, then wander around the store with it for a bit till she saw something else. It was cute.
Sunday, I did a little flora trimming, bought a new belt when I realized my old one was about 7 sizes larger then it originally started (my waist shrinks during the day, so I'm constantly making my belt tighter, stretching out the leather). Did more Crackdown, watched the season close of Battlestar, previewed the new Planet Earth show on Discovery HD (the single greatest HD channel if you want to show off your TV).
It was odd in that it's still March, and it was 70 degrees, with sun and rain and now it looks like spring before the greening (an ugly time to be sure) but it smells like June. A musty June.
Global warming does have an upside, at least in Minnesota.
At any rate, got things to do, places to be, weather to enjoy.
You go have a day.
