An Undying Love
Temple Island-1
Janet MacDonald
larger image
Anya sneaks off to the ancient ruins on Temple Island in the hopes that the legends are true, but it lies in enemy territory. The one thing she desires the most she hopes to find there. Her excursion takes a catastrophic twist, and she ends up a prisoner and her captor uses her for the safe return of his sister. But the tug of an ancient longing—one her brother will never allow—claims her.
Dante catches an interloper in his pack's territory. The pretty young female werewolf captures his attention in ways he never thought possible. He hoped to use her to learn of his sister's whereabouts, but he soon feels the pull to keep Anya for himself.
With outside forces trying to come between them, the love they share is put at risk, and Dante may lose Anya forever.
Show Excerpt
The warm breeze had all but died down as Anya slipped into the shelter of the ancient stone structure. The air within was dusty, and the rays of the late day sun caused the dust in the air to glitter like floating specks of gold. The moss-covered stone walls had stood there for more years than anyone knew. At the center of the large open space was a raised dais. A stone altar of the blackest basalt stuck out in the otherwise empty room.
Anya's legs trembled ever so slightly as excitement and fear filled her. The legends had to be true, she thought as she walked carefully over and leapt up onto the altar. The pool sat there just as the tales had told, her reflection looking back at her in the brackish water. Gingerly, she sniffed it. It stank to high heaven. Twitching her ears, she steeled herself, pawed the water to get the film off the top and took a tentative lap.
The taste nearly made her regurgitate the water, and she shivered as a bone-chilling feeling coursed over her. It was as if a cold icy shroud had enveloped her. It gave her goose bumps even in her wolf form. For a brief moment, she thought she saw the reflection of a woman's face in the water staring back at her. The ghostly image was superimposed over Anya's white furred face on the surface on the water. She shook her head and it was gone.
A sudden snapping sound from behind her caused her to leap from the stone surface. She knew in an instant she'd been discovered, and she bolted for the small cave-in at the far corner. Squeezing through it was easy, and Anya didn't bother or wish to turn around to see the cause of the noise. She caught the scent of horses and men as she fled down the stone path, which led out of the ancient courtyard around the temple. As she ran down it, she heard the quick, hard pounding of hooves on the hard-packed trail.
Weaving in and around trees, over deadwood and down a sloped embankment, she was hard-pressed to lose them. The forest was only thick in a few places, not making it easy for her to evade them. Their horses were able to follow unhindered by the sparseness of the underbrush. Anya's only hope was to make the water before they caught her.
Racing down the path toward the shore, Anya felt as if her heart would explode. Her own heavy panting filled her ears as her paws dug into the soft soil of the small fallow field overlooking the bay. The muscles in her legs and chest burned. She ran as fast as she could for the next half hour on adrenaline as her energy diminished. She'd managed to just keep ahead of them, but if she slowed, they'd be on top of her.
Anya had planned on being home long before dark. The small outboard motor boat had made the trip in less than two hours, and if her brother, Mitch, found it missing he would have a fit. Now, as she propelled herself toward the cove where the craft was hidden, she realized she was in a whole lot more trouble than what her brother would dish out. The sun was already starting to set, and if she didn't make the bay before her pursuers, she might never get off the island alive. Mitch, or anyone else in her pack, didn't know where she'd gone, and now she really wished she hadn't come there.
The rustling sounds of someone breaking through the small trees and shrubs from behind her had her trying to run faster. Her thick fur coat had protected her from the brambles when she bulldozed through the same area her pursuers now followed her from. Fear gripped her heart. She saw the small embankment just before the shoreline.
The sudden retort of a rifle echoed through the air, and the bullet whizzed across her flank. She felt the brushing of something against her, and it took a tuft of fur with it. Never in all her life had she been so utterly terrified. She started running in a more rabbit style, shifting her movements from left to right, trying to make it harder for whoever was shooting at her. Anya really wished she'd heeded her brother's words this morning about not to straying too far from home.
With the bank so close, she pushed even harder, leaping over a fallen tree in the hopes it made it harder for the hunters. Her paws barely touched the soft muddy slope as she skittered down it. There being just over twenty feet to the water, she felt elated as her claws ripped up the sandy shore. Just as she made another jump to clear the last few feet, something slammed into her right haunch a split second before the retort of the rifle. The burning pain elicited a yelp from her. She was hit.
As her body hit the cold water with a splash, shock washed over her. Anya went into instinct mode as her mind fought not to be lost in the surge of panic flooding her. Doing the dog paddle with her front paws to try to gain some more distance, she weakened very quickly. She realized her back legs were not working. Her hind quarters dragged her down.
When her head dipped under, she tried not to swallow any of the salty sea water. Struggling to get her face back up for air didn't work, and she sank lower. All around her the waters were being stained a muddled pink. As her paws clawed at the water, it stirred the murky color around, making seeing impossible.
The necessity to breathe had her lungs on fire. The pressure building inside her as the need became all she could think about.
I'm going to die
, she thought as her lungs forced her to inhale. Water rushed into them in place of the air they craved. The painfully invasion of salty brine tore at her lungs as her mind struggled to stay conscious. Anya lost the battle, and just as everything faded into darkness, she felt a large, powerful hand grip her by the fur on the scruff of her neck.

In the heart of the Amazon River basin 1,500 years ago, tribes mixed soil with charcoal derived from animal bone and tree bark to boost their crop yields. Now scientists conclude that such burned, dead matter fertilizes better than compost and animal manure, helping to transform the soil into the richest earth in the world. The "biochar" also profoundly enhances soil's natural ability to seize carbon, thereby trapping greenhouse gases. Delaware State University researchers presented their findings April 10 at a national meeting of the American Chemical Society. —Charles Q. Choi
TURNING POLLUTION INTO DVDs
New procedures could turn carbon dioxide (CO2) from coal-fired power plants and other sources into polycarbonate, a type of plastic derived from petroleum and used to make DVDs and eyeglass lenses. Strategies that rely on catalysts have used CO2 to make polymer precursors to polycarbonate. Although the chemical reactions produce only water as a waste product, they require high temperatures and pressure. Hence, the processes would only pay off environmentally if clean-energy sources, such as solar or wind power, were used to fuel them. —David Biello
Punishing Scents
Danger could make you smell new odors. In testing volunteers, scientists at Northwestern University used odor molecules that have the same chemical formula but are structured to be mirror opposites, like left and right hands. Such molecules ordinarily smell identical to people. But after getting zapped with mild electrical shocks when exposed to one molecule but not when sniffing the other, volunteers rapidly learned to easily tell them apart. Functional MRI scans suggest that strong emotions could make the ancient smell centers of the brain quickly learn subtle differences between odors. The hypersensitivity seen in patients with some anxiety disorders could arise from a faulty ability to distinguish between true signals of danger and similar but less vital stimuli, the Northwestern team speculates, adding that its research could help develop new therapies. The electrifying findings appear in the March 28 Science. —Charles Q. Choi
Fasting for 48 hours before receiving chemotherapy could limit the treatment's toxic effects on healthy cells while leaving cancer cells vulnerable. When normal cells are starved, the cells shift into survival mode, revving up repair mechanisms and protective processes. Researchers starved mice that had been injected with malignant cells; then they gave the rodents megadoses of chemotherapy. The animals lost weight, but once treatment ended, they regained it—and their energy. The finding, which stemmed from research on aging, may pave the way for higher and more frequent chemo doses that do not harm normal cells. —Nikhil Swaminathan
Skin Job on Parkinson's
Skin cells from an adult mouse reprogrammed to act like embryonic stem cells have silenced symptoms of Parkinson's disease in rats. Scientists injected healthy rats with a toxin that destroyed their dopamine-making neurons, producing motor symptoms reminiscent of Parkinson's. The rodents then received treatment with the modified cells (called induced pluripotent stem cells). Within four weeks most of the rats showed improved balance and coordination; one even had heightened dopamine activity. Still, many issues must be resolved before the procedure can be adapted for humans. For one thing, scientists have yet to exactly mimic Parkinson's in rodents because the disease is so complex. In addition, the retroviruses used to transform the skin cells are known cancer triggers. The findings, published online April 7 by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, nonetheless appear to mark the first time manipulated cells have integrated into brain tissue and reversed neurodegenerative damage. —Nikhil Swaminathan

The University of Newcastle's theology discipline is set to be strengthened following the appointment of the new Lecturer in Theology.
Dr Timothy Stanley, who was Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Christianity and Contemporary Culture at the University of Manchester in England, has been appointed to the position, which is funded through a donation from the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle to the University of Newcastle Foundation.
A Bachelor degree program in theology was introduced at the University of Newcastle in 2007, making the University one of just three in New South Wales to offer such a degree.
Dr Stanley's specialist focus is the relationship between Protestant theology and philosophy, and contemporary ecclesiology.
Anglican Bishop of Newcastle, The Right Reverend Dr Brian Farran, said he was delighted and excited by Dr Stanley's appointment.
"Dr Stanley's appointment deepens the teaching and research capacities of the Theology Department in the University of Newcastle. Analysis of contemporary culture and its trajectories is a significant academic discipline that will enhance understanding of society and its confronting issues."
Foundation Morpeth Chair of Theology, Professor John McDowell, said the position attracted significant interest from across the world.
"The University warmly welcomes Dr Stanley to the position and looks forward to his contribution in building and enhancing the degree program.
"Dr Stanley comes to us as a very highly regarded, energetic and well qualified intellectual. His interests are broad and he will add valuable dimensions to the Theology and Religious Studies programs in areas as wide ranging as religion, politics, cultural studies, philosophy and theology."
University of Newcastle Foundation CEO, Louise O'Connell, said the University greatly valued the partnership with the Anglican Diocese.
"Through this partnership we are building the University's reputation in theology and fostering greater understanding and tolerance of different religions throughout the world."

Whether you are in the RN-BSN, MSN, Post Graduate FNP Certificate, or DNP Programs, you need to be aware of your responsibilities as a student.
Students are to meet initially with their advisor to create their student study plan either in person (by appointment) or by email. Any deviation from the student study plan must be discussed with the advisor before any course changes can be done; otherwise, students may be charged for courses that they are unable to take. In addition, they will be removed from the course. Other student responsibilities include:
The Department of Nursing adheres to the University's Academic Conduct Policy (see page 34). If dishonesty in any form (i.e., plagiarism, cheating, forging signatures, etc.) is discovered the instructor will proceed according to university and course policy. This may include a grade of zero for an assignment, additional penalties, and/or a grade of "F" for the course. Students found to have infractions against the Academic Conduct Policy in two courses will be dismissed from the Nursing Program with no option for readmission. A reminder: receiving a grade of "D" or below may result in dismissal from the program.
Students must submit all required health forms upon admission to the program, which includes a copy of your current/valid license, CPR card, malpractice and personal insurance, yearly updated Two-Step TB test, and the health forms listed below during their first semester in the program. These forms can be found at the Current Student Academic Advising Page .
Failure to submit the forms will result in a hold being placed to prevent you from registering for the following term and/or starting clinical hours. The hold will not be removed until all forms have been submitted. Students are also responsible to maintain a copy of the above required records for themselves in the event that they need to show them to the clinical faculty member or preceptor/residency supervisor for their clinical.
Students in the MSN, Post-Graduate Certificate, and DNP programs are responsible for identifying their own clinical sites. This process should start at least the semester prior to the clinical course or longer. In order to assisting students, the Department of Nursing has a Clinical Site Coordinator who maintains a book which provides a listing of organizations with which GSU currently has affiliation agreements. Students may access and review the clinical site listings in the Department of Nursing during normal business hours but an appointment needs to be made with the Clinical Site Coordinator for viewing the book and/or filling out required forms. Once the preceptor/residency supervisor is contacted and agrees to work with the student, the student should schedule a meeting with both the course instructor and the preceptor/residency supervisor to ensure that the course objectives are congruent with the student's proposed clinical experience and that the course objectives can be met at the agency or institution. A clinical affiliation agreement must be in place or one must be initiated by the course instructor if one is not already in place. Once the site and preceptor/residency supervisor are in place and the agreement is executed, the student, preceptor/residency supervisor, and instructor should meet at least twice during the clinical. It is up to the student to coordinate times between the instructor and preceptor/residency supervisor.
It is the students' responsibility to submit all paperwork required during the first week of the term in which they plan to graduate to the Registrar's Office: see link. Students graduating from the Certificate Program need to fill out the appropriate graduation application listed on the Registrar's Office Forms Page entitled "Application for Award of Certificate." It is also the student's responsibility to ensure that a signed student study plan is in their student file in the Department of Nursing (required for graduation). Applications will not be accepted after the deadline by the Registrar's Office and the Department of Nursing WILL NOT accept late applications. It is the students' responsibility to ensure that they have turned in their graduation application on time, if they choose to graduate in the term in which they complete the program. Applications that are turned in late will be processed for the following term.
Students must dress professionally: no jeans, and no cap/headwear (unless for religious reasons). Modest, professional-looking attire is required and essential to project your professionalism and to represent Governors State University in a positive light. Therefore no transparent clothing, no sandals, and no décolletage are appropriate. A white, full-length uniform lab coat is worn with the GSU nursing patch sewn on the left shoulder sleeve. Shoes should be clean and closed toes. No sandals or flip flops are allowed. Jewelry should not be displayed if directly working with patients. Avoid artificial nails, nail polish and rings when providing direct patient care. Adherence to HIPPA rules are enforced. Therefore, no conversations regarding patients and no communication about them should be posted online or discussed with any identifying information.
If you plan to apply for advanced practice licensure after graduating from master's or post-master's certificate programs, there may be other eligibility requirements that must be met. Licensure requirements are set by the Board of Nursing in each state and may vary from state to state. It is your responsibility to contact the Board of Nursing in the appropriate state and obtain the information. Certification examinations for clinical specialists, family nurse practitioner, and nurse administrator are offered in many different content areas. Graduates of the CNS program may apply for certification through American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). Graduates of the FNP and FNP certificate program may apply for certification either through ANCC or the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. Graduates of the Nurse Administrator program may apply for certification through ANCC. It is recommended that the student review the ANCC and the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners website for the latest information regarding certification. Governors State University is not responsible if the ANCC changes their requirements.

repair and deduct
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A residential tenant's repair of a serious defect or problem in the rental, making it unlivable or significantly unsafe, followed by deducting the cost of the repair from the next month's rent. Proper use of the remedy, which may be invoked only if state law provides for it, requires notice to the landlord and allowing the landlord a reasonable time to fix the problem.

"I will use my power to help the sick to the best of my ability andjudgment; I will abstain from harming or wronging any man by it."
-Oath of Hippocrates
In this issue, Dr. Brenner describes asymmetric densities found onmammography. As all breast imagers know, asymmetry on mammography is a commonfinding and often precipitates nothing more than its causal observation. Thehigh incidence of asymmetries and the relatively small proportion that aremalignant may prompt the radiologist to be conservative, and not recommendbiopsy and risk the outcome.
Similarly, because they can be less frequent presentations of cancer, othersubtle signs of malignancy must not be overlooked. All too often in the work-upof an abnormality seen on mammography, I hear a resident say, "I'llget a spot view to see if I can make the density go away." With thisphilosophy, the breast imager does a great disservice to the patient. Our roleis to diagnose breast cancer at an early, curable stage. We try to work uplesions and analyze them appropriately so that our positive biopsy rate is nottoo low, but yet we do not miss small cancers. Achieving this balance requiresexpertise, reliance on sound principles of mammographic analysis, carefulscrutiny of the images for quality and for abnormalities, and sometimes luck inmaking the right judgment when the decision is difficult.
Recently, I saw a young woman who presented with an asymmetric density anddistortion found on mammography three years earlier and which had beendetermined by the interpreting radiologist as less prominent with spot views.The patient was followed for three years, with the distortion becoming larger,yet it was called unchanged. Ultimately, she presented with advanced clinicaldisease. My resident's comment at the time was "I think I need tochange my approach to mammography. It shouldn't be to try to give out goodnews, it is to recommend a biopsy if I have any doubt that a lesion isbenign." In this patient's case, mammography did not achieve what itis intended to do, nor what it should have done.
The statistics that we are proud to quote of a 35% mortality reduction withscreening mammography require us to be extremely attentive to detail and toavoid that well intentioned wish of not giving the patient any bad news. Bybeing forthright and recommending biopsy when appropriate, we positively impactthe health, and subsequently the lives, of many women for the better.

UTICA -- Authorities say an 8-year-old Utica boy is recovering after being struck in the head by a samurai sword swung by his father during a fight with another man.
Police in Utica tell local media outlets that 42-year-old Thar Kyi barged into the home in the 700 block of Elizabeth St. where his three children were getting ready for school around 8:20am Tuesday morning. Then, police say he began swinging the sword at the boyfriend of the children's mother.
Investigators say their mother's boyfriend was helping tie the shoes of the 8-year-old, when another child opened the door to leave. When he did this, the children's father ran in the door, brandishing a Samurai sword.
Investigators say that the father then ran toward the boyfriend and attempted to strike him with the sword, but he missed and struck the 8-year-old in the head, cutting him. The other child rescued the child and they ran from the house. A fight ensued between the two men and the victim was cut several times with the sword.
Officers also learned that there was an active order of protection against Kyi.
The boy was treated at the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
Investigators found that Kyi fled to the Syracuse area. Kyi was eventually found in the Syracuse area and charged with assault, burglary, criminal contempt and criminal possession of a weapon. He's being held in Oneida County Jail.
It couldn't immediately be determined if he had a lawyer.

I had a great opportunity come my way a couple weeks ago to promote my new green business. I ran into my friend Heather Reider one late afternoon at It's a Grind in Encinitas. I hadn't seen her in a couple years, but she was on the phone and with her kids, and since I was on my way out I had planned to just wave hello and be on my way. But she happened to be on the phone with her partner Mary Goulet, and they just had a cancellation for their Momstown TV Show, and I had talked with Mary earlier in the year about my new business but I wasn't ready to come on the show because the website wasn't live yet, but now it was and they asked if I could fill in for the missing guest, so the next morning at 8:30 am I was at the studio ready to be interviewed.

Style and Technique (Masterplots II: Short Story Series, Revised Edition)
Since writing his earliest stories, Vonnegut has been called a science fiction writer, a term, he says, that for many people is another word for a bathroom receptacle. Although there are elements of science fiction in his stories, he is more clearly a fantasist—one who creates a believable but purely imaginary world such as one finds in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). He frequently resorts to dystopias (negative views of the future) to comment on modern society.
His style here is straightforward and matter-of-fact, as if he were sharing a story with his fishing buddies. Vonnegut does not interfere with the narration of this story to wink at the reader, implying that it is all a joke. Here, as in other stories and novels, Vonnegut appears to be a serious writer who uses the trappings of a futuristic science fiction world to entertain readers while he "poisons our minds with humanity."
The story's narrator never passes judgment on the words or deeds of the characters. Instead, his description of those actions becomes increasingly unbelievable. For example, as Harrison Bergeron and his dance partner dance and leap into the air, they finally manage to kiss the ceiling. Thus Vonnegut shows that Harrison represents someone so alien to his society that he can even defy the laws of gravity by seeming to float as easily as he was able to toss aside his shackles and handicaps.

Historical Context
The Modern Civil Rights Movement
In the late 1940s progress, albeit in fits and starts, began to occur in the movement toward full civil rights for African Americans in the United States. Beginning with Jackie Robinson, major league baseball began the process of integration, as did the military in the late 1940s. In the 1954 case known as Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, the United States Supreme Court decided that the doctrine of ''separate but equal'' facilities set forth in the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson case no longer held true. A year later, the Supreme Court ordered lower courts to use ''all deliberate speed'' in desegregating the public schools. In the Deep South, governors, state legislatures, and local school boards resisted, in some cases passing laws to try to thwart the ruling. In addition to the landmark Supreme Court ruling, an African-American woman named Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat in the front of a Montgomery, Alabama, bus to sit in the back as a local ordinance required. Her subsequent arrest led to a boycott of downtown businesses by African Americans. It also gave the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., an opportunity to begin his crusade for civil rights long denied African Americans in the South. In September, 1957, President Dwight Eisenhower had to call out the Arkansas National Guard, as well as regular Army troops, to enforce desegregation of Little Rock, Arkansas, schools. In February, 1960,...
(The entire section is 1176 words.)
The story is set in the year 2081, in a middle-America very understandable by contemporary readers of October 1961, when the story was first published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, or 1968, when it appeared in the collection Welcome to the Monkey House. In this story there are television shows with stars much like George Burns and Gracie Allen, there is striving for social equality, and there is sufficient leisure time for ordinary working folk to watch television from the comfort of their own homes. But the television shows are populated by dancers and musicians and announcers aggressively equalized by handicaps such as heavy weights, ugly masks, and noise-making hearing aids, as is one of the two viewpoint characters, George.
The frightening extent to which the Handicapper General goes to maintain this crippling version of "equality" makes the story seem at first to be set in a fantasy world, or an alternate reality. But if one is aware that the author is an international traveler who has spent time in American public schools and universities, in the army, and in a prisoner-of-war camp in Germany, and has conversed with Nazis, Biafrans, Communists, and his Cape Cod neighbor, all on their own home turf, the Handicapper General's final solution is possibly the least unrealistic element in the story.
Far more unreal is the way Harrison's parents immediately forget why they are sad, and the sound of a riveting gun...

Literary Style
Setting the story 120 years in the future allows readers to more easily accept some of the more absurd events in ''Harrison Bergeron.'' The actual physical location of the story does not matter and, therefore, is unknown. One glaring anachronism—a concept or an object not known or invented at the time of the story; or an object that belongs to a previous era—should be noted: the use of a shotgun. Readers might expect that some exotic form of weaponry would have been developed and used that far into the future. Similarly, the idea that 213 Amendments to the Constitution would have been ratified predicts a radical change in American legislation. At the time the story was written, only twenty-four amendments had been passed by the Congress and ratified by the states, the first ten of which (known as the Bill of Rights) became law in 1791. In the 170 years between 1791 and the time the story was written, only fourteen additional amendments had been ratified. Ironically, the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments of the story restrict the civil rights of most people, as opposed to the amendments over the first two hundred years of the nation.
Point of View
The story is told in the third-person-limited point of view; the narrator is not a character in the story, but he is privy to the thoughts of one character. Readers are allowed to know what George Bergeron is thinking, as when he "was toying with the vague notion...

Literary Qualities
"I always had trouble ending short stories in ways that would satisfy a general public," Vonnegut notes in Timequake. "In real life . . . people don't change, don't learn anything from their mistakes, and don't apologize. In a short story they have to do at least two out of three of those things, or you might as well throw it away." Vonnegut admits he could handle that much. "But after I had a character change and/or learn something and/or apologize, that left the cast standing around with their thumbs up their asses. That is no way to tell a reader the show is over." In his salad days (youthful indiscretions—heyday), Vonnegut sought the advice of his then literary agent as to how to end stories without killing all the characters, and was told that nothing could be simpler. "The hero mounts his horse and rides off into the sunset." This story, "Harrison Bergeron", is clearly one of the ones where the author was willing to kill off a few characters.
Any cursory study of Vonnegut's fiction will reveal that the author starts and stops his stories in media res, that is, in the middle of things, with little or no attention paid to such literary devices as introductions, denouements, character development, or foreshadowing. This story is no exception. Vonnegut does not show the readers his characters and let the audience learn what they do in their world. Instead, he flat-out tells readers everything up front, in words of one and two syllables...

Social Sensitivity
In his book Fates Worse Than Death: An Autobiographical Collage of the 1980s, Kurt Vonnegut reflected on a 1983 speech he gave at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City:
American TV, operating in the Free Market of Ideas ... was holding audiences with simulations of one of the two things most human beings, and especially young ones, can't help watching when given the opportunity: murder. TV, and of course movies, too, were and still are making us as callous about killing and death as Hitler's propaganda made the German people during the frenzied prelude to the death camps and World War II. ...What I should have said from the pulpit was that we weren't going to Hell. We were in Hell, thanks to technology which was telling us what to do, instead of the other way around. And it wasn't just TV.
With these words, Vonnegut is speaking on ideas he used in his story "Harrison Bergeron." In this story, television desensitized Hazel Bergeron, Harrison's mother, to the murder of her own son, which she witnesses while watching television. She does weep over what she sees, but is so numbed by watching television, that she cannot remember why she is crying.
In this story, Vonnegut shows readers that he was deeply affected by Newton Minow's famous 1961 speech about television programming, called "The Vast Wasteland." Minow specifically mentioned violence as a contributor to this wasteland....

Compare and Contrast
1964: President Lyndon B. Johnson signs the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law. Title VII of the Act establishes The Equal Employment Opportunities Commission, which prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of race, sex, national origin, and religion.
Late 1990s: Affirmative action programs, which set guidelines for preferred hiring of minority and women workers and students, come under fire. Businesses and universities are sued for reverse discrimination by whites passed over for various positions and promotions.
1950s: The CIA experiments with various forms of mind control, including testing LSD, a hallucinogen, as a truth serum on U.S. soldiers.
1993: Rumors surface that the FBI is considering using an acoustic mind control device during a standoff with cult leader David Koresh in Waco, Texas. The device, developed by a Russian scientist, is supposedly capable of placing thoughts in a person's mind without the person's knowledge of the source of the thoughts.
1960s: Young people unite in unprecedented numbers to protest the Vietnam War, racism, and sexual discrimination. Vonnegut's writings become very popular in this politically active era.
1990s: ''Hate crime'' legislation provides stiffer penalties for those convicted of harassment and other crimes directed at people based on their ethnicity, sexual orientation, and physical or mental...

Topics for Discussion
1. What is equality? Can you come up with various definitions?
2. Reread the moment of the transcendent kiss between Harrison and the dancer. What would this scene be like from the viewpoint of one of the musicians? How would he or she react to the sudden arrival of the Handicapper General? Rewrite this scene from the musician's viewpoint, including emotional reactions for the characters as well as their physical actions.
3. Describe a beautiful human being. Can you come up with various definitions?
4. How do the Handicapper General and her agents "equalize" citizens?
5. Are there any positive results to the Equality Laws they enforce?
6. What is a transcendent experience? What effect does one person's transcendent experience have on others?
7. What sort of leader do the people of 2081 need?
8. What sort of leader does Harrison Bergeron set himself up to be?
9. As the Handicapper General is an appointed figure, not an elected one, she does not need to worry about being reelected. What does she have to fear instead?
10. What sort of justice is the Handicapper General dealing out in the America of 2081?
(The entire section is 180 words.)
Ideas for Reports and Papers
1. What is "equality" as defined by the American Bill of Rights? By the civil rights movement during the 1960s in America? How do these definitions compare to the Equality Laws in this story, and how they are enforced by the Handicapper General?
2. How can an individual's superior talents and strengths be of benefit to her or his family, neighbors, and fellow citizens? How can superior talents and strengths be a negative experience for an individual, or a community, rather than a benefit?
3. Compare the story "Harrison Bergeron" to a short story by Stephen King, perhaps "The Raft." Both authors are American, male, white, and attended college. What distinct differences and similarities can you detect in these two stories? How do the authors' writing styles differ? What can you say about the characters each author creates? How would Stephen King have written the story "Harrison Bergeron"?
4. Draw pictures of each of the major characters in "Harrison Bergeron", and include with each a series of notes describing what elements you took from the story and what elements you decided from your own impressions of the characters. Will you use television and movie actors as your models, or people around you?
5. What is the difference between the words "alike" and "equal"?
6. How useful is this fantasy story when considering real events and motivations? Is this story a good tool for beginning a dialogue on equality and...

Topics for Further Study
Research the process by which proposed amendments to the United States Constitution pass Congress and are ratified into law. Based on what you find out, do you think it is likely that the Constitution will have 213 amendments in 2081 ? Why or why not?
Investigate the controversy caused by Federal Communications Commission chairman Newton Minow's May, 1961, speech in which he labeled television ''a vast wasteland.'' Compare Minow's historical commentary about television to current commentaries and note how much (or how little) has changed.
Read the United States' founding documents—particularly the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, or the Federalist Papers—to determine the promise of equality or lack thereof found within them. Compare the ideas found in these documents with those in documents associated with the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s—particularly the 1954 U. S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education—and the early 1960s, particularly Martin Luther King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail'' and his 1963 speech known as ''I Have a Dream.''

The short story "Harrison Bergeron" was adapted for video by Showtime and released on video in 1995. The production starred Sean Astin and Christopher Plummer. The director, Bruce Pittman, was nominated for Canada's Gemini award for "Best Direction in a Dramatic Program or Mini-Series." Readers might wish to examine other short stories from Welcome to the Monkey House, the collection in which "Harrison Bergeron" was republished.

Brave New World, Aldous Huxley's 1932 novel. In this dystopian (from dystopia, the opposite of utopia, a world in which realities undermine ideals), satirical portrait of a futuristic society, citizens have given up much of their own humanity for the social good in another totalitarian political system.
"I Have a Dream,'' Martin Luther King's 1963 speech. King delivered this famous speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., to a crowd of civil rights demonstrators. It called for a society in which people have equal opportunity and are judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
'"he Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas,'' Ursula K. Leguin's 1973 story. In this vaguely futuristic society, the good of the community, including everything from personal happiness to bountiful crops, depends on the severe maltreatment of one child, a scapegoat. Without the scapegoat, the citizens of Omelas believe their whole society would fall apart. The title characters who leave cannot stand to base their happiness on the suffering of another person, especially a child.

Basically the SL has not been based on the Force for the last couple of seasons ago (replacing the Force baseplace with the stage III baseplate, etc.) and dropped 'Force' from the name in the process. In guess, it could be called Atlas SL, but Union went with just SL. |

I know it is near the end of the season and I will probably repost this next year but at the beginning of the year we had two boards in the group. Now we have six!
From the left to the right. My sister's board, a 158 TWC with Burton Citizen bindings My bf's new board, a 155 Never Summer Cobra with Flow NX2 GT, which will arrive on Thursday Hid old GNU 153 Carbon high series with flows as well. My brand new 148 Arbor Push with GNU B-Famous bindings My old (half my cousins) 148 GNU B-Nice with Burton Lexa's And my cousins thrift store board, a 144 24/7 with her new K2 Bliss bindings. Whew!

Fadó Irish Pub & Restaurant - Seattle
Online Reservations
Fado made our Engagement party so fantastic we had a very attentive & awesome waitress. The dungeon room was great for our group, private & cozy! The drink & food choices are perfect! Loved our evening with Fado, family & friends.
My fiancee and I had our engagement party here. The service was amazing and very helpful! They were personable, helpful, and just all around the best! The noise level wasn't bad, it was enough that you knew the place was a live and kicking, but not so loud that you had to shout over people or even to the person next to you. You could talk in a normal controlled voice! The drinks and the food, I'm not sure what to say aside from AMAZING, SPECTACULAR, DOWN RIGHT HITS THE SPOT! I would highly suggest Fadó Irish Pub & Restaurant for any occasion!

Well, subtle it ain't. Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay assaults you with diarrhea noises, gushing DNA, and very hairy man parts (in case anyone's keeping track, this is the second new movie in as many weekends that puts real-live ding-dongs in the spotlight)—all in the first half-hour or so. If you can sit through the frat hijinks, you're in for a pretty good time.

How wonderful that Wayne was able to celebrate his special birthday with so many friends! Did you see Rebecca?

It was so wonderful to finally get to meet you. Rhonda and I really enjoyed the concert. I thought Wayne's jokes were so funny.
Also, enjoyed the questions and answer session, before we went on the bus ride yesterday.
All of it was another dream come true for Rhonda. She told me she never thought she would get to ride on a bus with an Osmond Brother.
I am so glad Wayne enjoyed his birthday celebration.
A special Thank You to all the people who arranged for all of us to eat cake and ice cream to help Wayne celebrate.
All in all it was a nice trip for Rhonda and me.
We got home around 11:00 p.m. last night. - Wednesday, August 31, 2011

I'm so sorry Kim about posting your name wrong on the photo "Kim and Wayne" at his birthday party. It was fun seeing you again last night at the Cracker Barrel. My Iphone doesn't take very good photos so if you or anyone else have taken some good photos of the show or yesterday's events and are willing to share them on the blog, I'd live to post them. I had a fun time with everyone yesterday and Wayne mentioned that he really had a blast at his 60th birthday party. Thank you so much everyone!

It looks like you guys had fun. I think if the brothers come back there next year(I know they are going back in November, but I can't make it), I'm definitely going. I always wanted to go to Nashville and Nashville is only a few hours away. So I would be killing two birds with one stone. It would be a nice week's vacation for me.
I bet Wayne was in ice cream heaven. I think I'd remembered you saying that he might not get to have ice cream on his birthday since you all were going to be in Pigeon Forge. Its great he got his ice cream party.
See you in September, Kathy. - Wednesday, August 31, 2011
It was so much fun to get to celebrate his birthday with y'all! Glad y'all liked my card.

Ali, I sat by Rebecca at the Meet and Greet. I should have had someone take a photo of us. It's so fun to go and sit by my new friends.

British model. Pretty solid choice for that rare "I like hot blondes with huge tits" niche.
she has to hide her belly in a lot of those pics
I would bury my face in those things and never ever come up for air.
TC, if i have to put up with her not having rock hard abs like a jersey shore dud to get those tits and that ass, I'll deal, I think i'll still be able to fuck her senseless.
Which came first, the boobies or weight gain? Or were the boobies a result of the weight gain? Nonetheless she is smokin hot.
She just drips sex. Or is that me dripping? Either way, she is smoking…
love her twit pics https://twitter.com/i/#!/leahfrancisBOOB/media/slideshow?url=pic.twitter.com%2FBUcRkjKW
and twitter handle @leahfrancisBOOB
BOOB is right!
Pic #6 FTW! Oh hell fuckin yeah.
I masturbated to her the other day.
This one just blew the mercury out of the peter meter
Great pic, she's so fucking hot. Even has the ass to go with those sweater bombs.
But it's Friday man, no topless pics? It's worth a google

The flow of information, ideas and talent across organizational boundaries presents unique opportunities and potential threats.
Innovation is typically a group effort, but how exactly do researchers collaborate with one another to innovate? To answer this question, the authors compiled a dataset identifying all co-authorship relationships of U.S. patent inventors from 1975 through 1999.
That dataset revealed that the social network of innovators is a "small world," with various clusters of people interconnected by different "gatekeepers," individuals who bridge one group with another. Historically, engineers and scientists tended to work within local clusters of collaboration that were isolated within a company. Recently, though, people have become increasingly mobile, changing jobs with greater frequency, and these formerly isolated clusters have begun to interconnect into larger networks through which information flows more freely between companies. Such environments provide both strategic opportunity and potential threat: They can increase creativity within a company, but they also aid in the diffusion of creative knowledge to other firms through personnel and knowledge transfer. The trick, then, is to manage innovation in ways that exploit the opportunities while minimizing the risks.

{PL} Pack
this week at willow chicago, we're launching something new -- the PL Pack. it's a special box filled with self-contained activities intented for preschool-elementary age kids. our first series of boxes have winter activities: nativity stickers, puzzle balls, maze pens, and winter activity books. it's like a happy meal church box! minus the ketchup and hamburger.
the packs are intended for kids who arrive early with their parents who volunteer on sunday mornings. it's been somewhat of a mystery knowing how to best serve these kids and parents. of course, we want a great first, early-morning experience for kids, while also honoring parents who show up ready and focused to serve. the PL Pack {PL for Promiseland} is our first attempt at offering something great for both kids and parents.
the PL Pack allows kids to stay with their parents. it doesn't require additional volunteers to lead the children, or a specially designed children's ministry classroom. and, it honors children because it's quiet and fun, encouraging children to ease into the morning.
PL Packs work like this: we'll keep a fully stocked supply in the children's ministry storage area. any staff member can take a pack at any time {not just sunday!}, for a weekday meeting in which an adult brings his child, or a special event that requires kid activities. there's no sign-out sheet, or asking for permission to take a pack -- just take it! and, the children's ministry will keep an eye on the quantities, ordering more when necessary. and, we'll create seasonal boxes every few months so that activities are fresh and fun for kids. i'm excited. i think it's got real potential.
what about you? tried anything similar?

We needed a place to stay after an event at the university. This hotel is not right next to the university though. Very nice. Rooms were very clean. They have soup in the evening and a nice breakfast. The pool looked clean. The staff was friendly. I would recommend them for a pleasant stay in La Crosse.

I was listening to the WXRT here in Chicago the other day, and Lin Brehmer, the morning DJ, had just played the first cut on Moondance, "And It Stoned Me". The song ended, and Lin read the titles of the first five songs on the disc, then he said, "If that is not musical genius, I don't know what is". I think Lin hit the nail on the head.
Moondance is an excellent album. The songwriting and the arrangements combine to form a mood and a feeling that is so distinct, so ephereal and relaxing, you feel like you are in another time and place. Listen to the song Moondance on the radio, and you may tire of it soon. Listen to it in the context of this album, and you will understand that it was written by a young man who was writing about his time, his life, his relationships.
This album has been written about many times, by writers whose skills far outweigh mine. Let me just finish by saying that Moondance is a special album, filled with special music. Buy it, and it will be special for you, too.

Report: New York Yankees likely not in on Justin Upton
Although the New York Yankees are certainly in the market for a right-handed bat, Jon Morosi of FOXSports.com reported Sunday that Brian Cashman and Co. probably won't be swapping phone calls with Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers.
The Yankees' newfound mantra of fiscal responsibility - a $189 million payroll in 2014, not a penny more - has stifled a number of potential moves this winter, including their willingness to meet the Diamondbacks' price for the two-time All-Star.The Yankees indeed want to add a right-handed hitter but haven't picked up their pursuit of Upton in the days since he was nearly dealt to Seattle, according to major-league sources.
In addition to their desire to conserve payroll, the Bronx Bombers are not short on outfielders (Curtis Granderson, Ichiro Suzuki, Brett Gardner, Matt Diaz) and have a dearth of talented prospects in their farm system that would help consummate a trade.
So while the Yankees have been known to spend money at will in order to acquire the biggest name, don't expect Upton to trade in sedona red for pinstripes any time soon.

Zimbabwe's ageing Mugabe says party will choose successor
By MacDonald Dzirutwe CHINHOYI, Zimbabwe (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's 89-year-old President Robert Mugabe said on Friday members of his party would choose his eventual replacement, but gave no timeline despite a mounting succession battle triggered by long-denied reports he is suffering from cancer. Addressing a ZANU-PF central committee meeting before the party's annual conference, Africa's oldest leader denounced the increased jockeying between party factions to succeed him. But there are fears ZANU-PF could implode in a violent struggle if his office becomes vacant before the succession question is resolved. NOSE IN FRONT Analysts say Mugabe's deputy president Joice Mujuru secured an edge in the race for his post after her supporters won most of the provincial elections in the last few months.
