Open to God
John A. Coleman, S.J., is rightly concerned by a theory of civil law that is excessively entangled with theological doctrine (Religious Liberty, 11/28). The official Catholic position on the numerous moral issues to which he refers certainly is theological doctrine. But it is also the objective teaching of human, moral reasoning. If not based on such reason, civil law runs the risk of a tyrannical positivism with no determining criterion other than the wish of the most powerful (which is not necessarily the majority).
Furthermore, if objective moral reasoning is not to be the content of civil law (in matters, of course, which evoke morality), then what else is to replace it? Legislating immorality or amorality seems to be, as experience proves, the only alternative. There is no moral neutrality. While that might save us from distasteful theories of too much God in civil law, it might well lead to irrational or nonrational law and to a society that follows suit. The fact that a society is open to God does not mean it is bereft of reason. Indeed, the opposite is more likely.

Above the Fray
After reading Gene Gagnon's letter (11/28) claiming America is conservative and has ceased to be relevant, I found The Council at 40, by Gerald O'Collins, S.J., (12/5) tending to confirm Gagnon's view. Father O'Collins could have written his article 10 years ago, for all the timeliness that it contains. America frequently has articles that tend to be well crafted but above the fray when commitment is called for. Perhaps it is a philosophia perennis attitude, when a more existential, here-and-now one, is called for.
Next came Joy and Hope, Grief and Anguish, by David Hollenbach, S.J. (12/5). No timelessness here. Hollenbach calls it as he sees it. There is grief in our hearts over what has happened to the promise of the council. Hope is languishing; there is sorrow over unfulfilled promise. His recounting of what happened in November 2002, when the U.S. government was preparing for war and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops had as its spokesman on the issue none other than Cardinal Bernard Law, highlights the loss of credibility of the present U.S. hierarchy.
Perhaps to be more relevant America could change its stripes somewhat without giving up its soul. How about a less Aristotelian/Thomistic approach, which tends to float above the scenethe on the one hand, but on the other approach?
Theologically speaking, if you were to emphasize a biblical approach with the usual Jesuit depth, it would bring to the forefront Jesus and his here-and-now way of dealing with problems.
There could be nothing more relevant for a Jesuit magazine to be doing than trumpeting Jesus' positions on social justice, poverty, peace and the reign of God, in his own words.

Decided Turn
Your magazine has been losing its edge, and this has made me very sad. For many years as a subscriber, I have always looked to America as a magazine that presented honest, bold dialogue on many issues facing our church as well as overall society. However, my spirits were slightly elevated upon reading the excellent articles in your Dec. 5 issue, which dealt with Vatican II: The Council at 40, by Gerald O'Collins, S.J., and Joy and Hope, Grief and Anguish, by David Hollenbach, S.J. Both articles provided clear assessments of what this great council accomplished as well as examples of the events/style of leadership over the years that have stymied the great potential of these documents. Please keep these types of articles coming back!
Bradley Leger
Estherwood, La.
I would hope that America could write about the chasm between broad-spectrum encyclical Catholicism and born-againism. The letter from George Stapleton on evangelism of presence (11/28) prompted me to reflect on the divergence between those who believe in sola fide/sola scriptura and those who read Scripture and subscribe to the concept that faith without works has a more complex, yet profound understanding concerning our salvation.
Faith is the debatable crucible. Those who subscribe to the concept of literal faith in Jesus Christ find it syncretic to agree that there is any salvation outside a personal acceptance of Jesus Christ. Broad-spectrum encyclical Catholics believe that faith and works are integrally related, and as long as there is no direct denial of Jesus Christ, salvation is available to Muslims, Hindus, Jews, etc. We do not accept the concept that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. When we say that the way to the Father is through Jesus, we believe that the Verbum Dei/verbum dei is not limited to a literal conception.
The Maryknoll way is the true ecumenical way; and, frankly, I hope more Catholics come to understand that neither neo-orthodox Catholics nor the born-againers have the exclusive answer to Who is saved?

I appreciate your magazine, but have found myself less interested, even frustrated with it in the past half year. The focus seems to have changed, particularly in the editorial and introductory essay.
I find myself reading about New York City, week after week, specifically your neighborhood.
I know that God can be found wherever we look as intimately part of our lives. I know that God lives there among you, but the magazine feels as if it should be now entitled Manhattan instead of America.
It just doesn't connect well with my life, in a very different geography, population and atmosphere. I'm losing interest.
Please broaden your focus.
Rex Rempel
Kirkland, Wash.
I vote for retaining "things Manhattan" in the mag. Thanks.
I totally agree with letter-writer Rex Rempel, as I too have noticed a significant change in the introductory essay which appears to be more the journal of a secular New Yorker, than of a Jesuit more in tune with the rest of "America" and its spiritual needs.
I find myself losing interest as well.
And that makes me sad.
Paul Montgomery
Roy Assenheimer, M.M., was born in Philadelphia. He entered Maryknoll in 1952, was ordained in 1965 and was assigned to Japan. There, after serving in three parishes, he began a new ministry in 1977 for the recovery of alcoholics and drug addicts by establishing several Maryknoll Alcoholic Centers (MAC) and Drug Addiction Rehabilitation Centers (DARC). Today there are 73 centers throughout Japan. He was also co-founder and chairman of the board of the Asian-Pacific Addiction Research Institute (Apari). Father Roy died suddenly in Japan on Jan. 5, 2006, at the age of 67.
I met Father Roy only once, on the 25th anniversary of his ordination, when he came home for the celebration. He was shy and unaccustomed to all the fuss over him. Like all missionaries, he seemed lonely away from his people.
I don't imagine Father Roy had much time to read and reflect on Gaudium et Spes, or Lumen Gentium or even Nostra Aetate. He was probably too busy putting them into practice. I don't know if he was broad-spectrum and he certainly didn't need to be born again. One lifetime was all he needed to undertake and finish, with God's help, a work which will last for generations.
If the editorial position of America were the focus of such approaches, these missives would be understandable; instead, they are part of the broad scene we see today where folks basically want to hear what fits in with their preconceived views.
If America is to retain a position as a lively forum for ideas in the church, where the ongoing process of discernment (with the tensions of disagreement that implies) continues, then a broad approach is both correct and necessary.
Continuing dialogue in charity is what will keep us together as a church, even if it makes us uncomfortable.
As a priest, I have witnessed first-hand how clericalism in the clergy and laity has crippled the mission of Christ in and through the church. The priests who persevere are exhausted, the preaching is generally irrelevant or worse, and the laity are bored, scandalized and feeling powerless. We all need America to be a voice for justice and structural change, not a supporter of unaccountable bishops and the status quo.
I vote for retaining "things Manhattan" in the mag. Thanks.

So I decided to simply exclude the experimental and broken abstractions and push out a new release so others could benefit from everything Sasa v0.9.3 has to offer.
The changelog contains a full list of changes, too numerous to count. I'll list here a few of the highlights.
IL Rewriter
C# unfortunately forbids certain types from being used as generic type constraints, even though these constraints are available to CIL. For instance, the following is legal CIL but illegal in C#:
public void Foo<T>(T value)Sasa now provides a solution for this using its ilrewrite tool. The above simply uses the Sasa.TypeConstraint<T> in the type constraint and the rewriter will erase all references to TypeConstraint leaving the desired constraints in place:
where T : Delegate
public void Foo<T>(T value)The Sasa library itself makes pervasive use of these type constraints to provide generic versions of static functions on System.Enum, thread-safe delegates add/remove, null-safe delegate calls, and more.
where T : TypeConstraint<Delegate>
Simply call ilrewrite like so:
ilrewrite /verify /dll:[your dll] /[Debug | Release]
The /verify option runs peverify to ensure the rewrite produced verifiable IL. Pass /Debug if you're rewriting a debug build, and /Release if you're rewriting a release build. I have it set up as a Visual Studio post-build event, so I call it with /$(ConfigurationName) for this parameter.
Thread-safe and Null-Safe Event Handling
The CLR provides first-class functions in the form of delegates, but there are various problems that commonly creep up which Sasa.Events is designed to fix:
Invoking delegates is not null-safe
Before invoking a delegate, you must explicitly check whether the delegate is null. If the delegate is in a field instead of a local, you must first copy the field value to a local or you leave yourself open to a concurrency bug, where another thread may make the field null between the time you checked and the time you call it (this is commonly known as a TOCTTOU bug, ie. Time-Of-Check-To-Time-Of-Use).
This involves laborious and tedious code duplication that the C# compiler could have easily generated for us. The Sasa.Events.Raise overloads solve both of the above problems. Instead of:
var dlg = someDelegate;
if (dlg != null) dlg(x, y, z);
you can simply call:
someDelegate.Raise(x, y, z);This is null-safe, and thread-safe.
Event add/remove is not thread-safe
Events are a pretty useful idiom common to .NET programs, but concurrency adds a number of hazards for which the C# designers provided less than satisfactory solutions.
For instance, declaring a publicly accessible event creates a hidden "lock object" that the add/remove handlers first lock before modifying the event property. This is not only wasteful in memory, it's also expensive in highly concurrent scenarios. Furthermore, this auto-locking behaviour is completely different for code residing inside the class as compared to code outside the class. Needless to say, this unnecessarily subtle semantics was constantly surprising C# developers.
Enter Sasa.Events.Add/Remove. These overloads accept a ref to a delegate field, and perform an atomic compare and exchange on the field directly, eliminating the need for lock objects, and providing more scalable event registration/unregistration. Code that looked like this:
event Action fooEvent;or like this:
fooEvent += newHandler;
event Action fooEvent;can now both be replaced by this:
lock (this) fooEvent += newHandler;
Action fooEvent;This code has less overhead than the standard event registration code currently generated by any C# compiler, in both concurrent and non-concurrent settings.
Events.Add(ref fooEvent, newHandler);
Safe, Statically-Typed and Blazingly-Fast Reflection
Reflection is incredibly useful, and incredibly dangerous. You are forced to work with your objects as untyped data which makes it difficult to write correct programs, and the compiler can't help you.
Most operations using reflection are functions operating over the structure of types. To make reflection safe, we only need a single reflective function that breaks apart an object into a stream of field values. The client then provides a stream processing function (the reflection function) that handles all the type cases that it might encounter.
Sasa.Dynamics is here to help. Type<T>.Reflect is a static reflection function for type T which breaks up instances of type T into its fields (use DynamicType.Reflect if you're not sure of the concrete type).
The client need only provide an implementation of IReflector, which defines a callback-style interface completely describing the CLR's primitive types and providing you with an efficient ref pointer to the field's value for get/set purposes, and a FieldInfo instance providing access to the field's metadata:
public interface IReflectorThe compiler ensures that you handle every case in IReflector. You handle non-primitive objects in IReflector.Object<T>, by recursively calling DynamicType.Reflect(field, this, fieldInfo).
void Bool(ref bool field, FieldInfo info);
void Int16(ref short field, FieldInfo info);
void Object<T>(ref T field, FieldInfo info);
Type<T> and DynamicType use lightweight code generation to implement a super-fast dispatch stub that invokes IReflector on each field of the object. These stubs are cached, so over time the overhead of reflection is near-zero. Contrast to the typical reflection overheads, and not only is this technique safer, it's significantly faster as well.
Extensible, Statically-Typed Turing-Complete Parsing
I covered the implementation of the Pratt parser before, and the interface has changed only a little since then. Pratt parsing is intrinsically Turing complete, so you can parse literally any grammar. The predefined combinators are for context-free grammars, but you can easily inject custom parsing functions.
What's more, each grammar you define is extensible in that you can inherit from and extend it in the way you would any other class. Here is a grammar from the unit tests for a simple calculator:
abstract class MathSemantics<T> : Grammar<T>
public MathSemantics()
Infix("+", 10, Add); Infix("-", 10, Sub);
Infix("*", 20, Mul); Infix("/", 20, Div);
InfixR("^", 30, Pow); Postfix("!", 30, Fact);
Prefix("-", 100, Neg); Prefix("+", 100, Pos);
Group("(", ")", int.MaxValue);
Match("(digit)", char.IsDigit, 1, Int);
protected abstract T Int(string lit);
protected abstract T Add(T lhs, T rhs);
protected abstract T Sub(T lhs, T rhs);
protected abstract T Mul(T lhs, T rhs);
protected abstract T Div(T lhs, T rhs);
protected abstract T Pow(T lhs, T rhs);
protected abstract T Neg(T arg);
protected abstract T Pos(T arg);
protected abstract T Fact(T arg);
The unit tests then contain an implementation of the grammar which is an interpreter:
sealed class MathInterpreter : MathSemantics<int>Instead of interpreting directly, you could just as easily have created a parse tree.
protected override int Int(string lit) { return int.Parse(lit); }
protected override int Add(int lhs, int rhs) { return lhs + rhs; }
protected override int Sub(int lhs, int rhs) { return lhs - rhs; }
protected override int Mul(int lhs, int rhs) { return lhs * rhs; }
protected override int Div(int lhs, int rhs) { return lhs / rhs; }
protected override int Pow(int lhs, int rhs) { return (int)Math.Pow(lhs, rhs); }
protected override int Neg(int arg) { return -arg; }
protected override int Pos(int arg) { return arg; }
protected override int Fact(int arg)
return arg == 0 || arg == 1 ? 1 : arg * Fact(arg - 1);
The tests also contain an extended grammar that inherits from MathSemantics and adds lexically-scoped variables (see EquationParser at the link):
sealed class EquationParser : MathSemantics<Exp>
public EquationParser()
Match("(ident)", char.IsLetter, 0, name => new Var { Name = name });
TernaryPrefix("let", "=", "in", 90, Let);
MIME Parsing
Sasa contains a simple stand-alone assembly devoted to MIME types, file extensions, and functions mapping between the two (Sasa.Mime).
The Sasa.Net.Mail namespace in the Sasa.Net assembly, contains functions for parsing instances of System.Net.Mail.MailMessage from strings, including attachments in every encoding I've come across in the past few years. This code has been in production use in an autonomous e-mail processing program which has processed tens of thousands of e-mails over many years, with very few bugs encountered.
It can also format MailMessage instances into string form suitable for transmission over texty Internet protocols.
The library is also better factored than before, and has numerous handy extensions to IEnumerable/LINQ, strings, numbers, tuples, endian encoding, url-safe binary encoding, some purely functional collections, easy file system manipulation (first described here), Stream extensions (including stream-to-stream copying), endian-aware binary encoding, non-blocking futures, atomic exchange extensions, non-nullable types, lazy types, statically typed weak refs, code generation utilities (first described here), statistical functions, and much more.
The full docs for this release are available online.
Unfortunately, the efficient, compact binary serializers from the last release have been deprecated, and the replacements based on Sasa.Dynamics are not yet ready. The ASP.NET page class that is immune to CSRF and clickjacking attacks first released in v0.9 has been removed for now as well, since it depended on the compact binary serializer.
I have plenty of new developments in the pipeline too. 2010 saw many interesting safety enhancement added to Sasa as outlined above, and 2011 will be an even more exciting year I assure you!
Edit: the original download on sourceforge was missing the ilrewrite tool. That oversight has now been addressed.

Safety recalls happen fairly regularly, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In fact, auto manufacturers recalled a record number of cars in recent years. Despite the total number of automotive recalls dropping in 2018 to 30.7 million, they still exceed the total number of new cars sold in 2017. Knowing how to handle vehicle safety recalls can help protect your family.
How Do I Know If My Car, Truck, or SUV Is Recalled?
The easiest way is to enter your vehicle's VIN number into the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) website. Manufacturers must alert the ODI and affected drivers, dealers, and distributors. You should receive a letter from the manufacturer that details the recall and provides instructions for having it repaired.
What If I'm Not the Car's Original Owner?
If you drive a used car, the manufacturer may not have a record of your ownership. So you may not receive a recall letter. Visit the ODI's online database to search for recalls. The NHTSA now also requires manufacturers to provide access to a free online tool that uses Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN) to determine whether a specific car has been recalled, and if it's been repaired.
What Should I Do If My Car Is Recalled?
When you receive a recall letter, follow the instructions and schedule an appointment with your dealership or authorized mechanic to have the problem corrected. In most cases, you shouldn't be charged for repairs. The exception is recalled tires. You'll have only 180 days after receiving the letter to get a complimentary replacement.
Are Recalls Free on Used Cars?
Safety issues are addressed on both new and used cars. Please be aware that there are limitations to no-charge repairs based on the vehicle's age. For additional information regarding these limitations, take a look at the manual issued by the NHTSA.
Can I Sell A Car With an Open Recall?
By federal law, dealerships can't sell new vehicles that have an open recall, without having it fixed first. The same concept applies to rental companies. They can't rent a vehicle that has an open recall that hasn't been addressed. Nonetheless, there are no federal laws that prevent dealerships or private car sellers from selling used cars that have open recalls. Also, they're not required to disclose open recall information to potential buyers.
What Should I Do If I Think My Car Has Manufacturing Problem?
Have problems fixed immediately, don't wait for a recall letter. You also can file safety concerns with the ODI, or call the Department of Transportation's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 800-424-9393 or 888-327-4236. Your report helps the ODI investigate safety issues and determine whether a recall is necessary.

With The Beatles
Written and sung by John Lennon, Not A Second Time featured on the group's second album With The Beatles.
The song drew notable attention from The Times' music critic William Mann, who famously wrote a musicological treatise on Lennon and McCartney's songwriting, published on 27 December 1963.
Harmonic interest is typical of their quicker songs, too, and one gets the impression that they think simultaneously of harmony and melody, so firmly are the major tonic sevenths and ninths built into their tunes, and the flat submediant key switches, so natural is the Aeolian cadence at the end of Not A Second Time (the chord progression which ends Mahler's Song of the Earth).
The Times
The Beatles were dismissive of such a critique. In the Anthology book, Lennon is quoted as saying:
I still don't know what it means at the end, but it made us acceptable to the intellectuals. It worked and we were flattered. I wrote Not A Second Time and, really, it was just chords like any other chords. To me, I was writing a Smokey Robinson or something at the time.
In 1980 he returned to the phrase Aeolian cadences, saying:
To this day I don't have any idea what they are. They sound like exotic birds.
All We Are Saying, David Sheff
Despite Lennon's flippancy, the musical structure of Not A Second Time is noteworthy. In Revolution In The Head, Ian MacDonald described it as "a rambling affair composed of an irregular fourteen-bar verse joined to a ten-bar chorus which sounds like a middle eight."
Lennon tended to write his lyrics first, then fitted chords and melody around the words. While the results here are certainly interesting, the out-of-time introduction, barely audible bass and George Martin's rudimentary grand piano solo suggest it was regarded as little more than a filler track to complete the album.
In the studio
Not A Second Time was recorded in five takes, plus four overdubs including the piano and Lennon's double-tracked vocals.
This was the first Beatles recording not to feature George Harrison. The only instrumentation was acoustic rhythm guitar, bass, drums and piano.

There are a few things you can do to lower your risk of sleep apnea. These include:
Obesity is the main risk factor for sleep apnea. If you are overweight, you may be able to prevent sleep apnea by talking to your doctor about a weight loss program. If you're not overweight, try to maintain an appropriate weight through proper diet and exercise.
Drinking alcohol can increase the number of sleep apnea episodes you have each night. Therefore, limit your intake of alcohol.
Sedative medications can worsen sleep apnea. Try to avoid using these medications.
Heavy smokers are more likely to develop sleep apnea than nonsmokers. If you smoke, talk to your doctor about how to quit.
Regular exercise may decrease sleep apnea symptoms. Try to exercise at least 4 times a week for 30 minutes each time.

EVERY TIME A BELL RINGS: This isn't a quiz, nor a trick question, but rather a general, Hollywood-flavored conversation starter: Where are movies written? A lot of us picture a screenwriter sweating it out in his ocean-close flat or perhaps an old-timey coffee shop. But a few screenplays find their starts, or middles, or ends, or all of the above, inside hotels. It makes sense after all, given that writers do travel, for vacation or to visit other film sets, and there must be a way for them to pass time back in the hotel room. If inspirations strikes, then zing! A movie is born at a hotel. That is exactly what happened several decades back, in the desert, when one of the most famous movies, and the most famous of hotels, dovetailed into a delightful Christmas classic. Though "classic" hardly seems like a strong enough word for "It's a Wonderful Life," nor icon for its creator, Frank Capra.
THE "WONDERFUL" WRITER-DIRECTOR... was a longtime fan of La Quinta Resort & Club, and he wrote a number of works in one of the casitas (including the Jimmy Stewart-Donna Reed favorite). Not only can you request the Frank Capra -- it books up in advance, just so you know -- but you can have a little Capraesque fun at the historic hotel come the holidays. La Quinta offers a "Chestnuts & Capra" stay-over and dine package every December, and it is rife with Bedford-Falls-y cuteness.
LIKE? Roasted chestnuts to enjoy -- they wouldn't be in the package name otherwise -- and cocktails for two. Make that cocktails named after the film's characters, so, yes indeedy, there is a George Bailey. Also, the resort is going to play the movie large, on the Fiesta Wall, every Friday night (it'll be silent, and lend background feel). Nope, your stay won't be in the Capra casita, but call your "Wonderful" holiday visit a good chance to check it out for a future stay, at least the exterior. There's a plaque outside the San Anselmo Casita detailing the writing of "It's a Wonderful Life," in fact, so look for that. And ponder how the snowiest of sweet cinematic treats was actually written in typically toasty, desert-marvelous La Quinta. Movie magic!

Phantasy Star Online 2 coming to US in 2013
Phantasy Star Online 2 is making the trip to North America and Europe in early 2013, Sega has announced.
Sega has confirmed that Phantasy Star Online 2 is coming to North America and Europe, and it's currently slated for early 2013. The free-to-play MMORPG was released in Japan recently, and western Phantasy Star fans have been wondering if it would ever see the light of day over here.
Sega only has a teaser site up so far, and has detailed a few key features on the Sega Blog. The developer touts a robust character creator, from three races: humans, Newman, or the robotic CAST. The CAST robots can rearrange their parts in the character creator as well. You can start as a Force class with "Photon Arts," a close-range Hunter, or a long-range Ranger. Dungeons will be randomized with custom-event challenges slipped into the midst of missions, and the MAG combat assistant makes a return from the first PSO.
The plot involves joining "Arks," special trips tasked with finding new planets. Of course, nothing is quite that simple, so you run into D-Arkers, a group opposed to those who head into deep space.
Sega's announcement didn't make mention of the recently revealed Vita or mobile versions, but it would make sense for Sega to bring those over as well.
Steve Watts posted a new article, Phantasy Star Online 2 coming to US in 2013.

Penn State School of Visual Arts Professor Karen Keifer-Boyd has co-authored Including Difference: A Communitarian Approach to Art Education in the Least Restrictive Environment with Michelle Kraft. Published by the National Art Education Association, Including Difference combines concepts related to analysis of the current special education law and case law, issues related to pre-service teacher education, and strategies to address the varied needs of a broad spectrum of learners within the art class setting. This book contributes to the small but growing body of literature on current special education law and inclusion practices in the art class environment at a time when teacher certification programs are reexamining curriculum for integrated and stand-alone courses that meet increasing state expectations for addressing educational diversity.
"Including Difference is dedicated to art educators who endeavor to create participatory, inclusive classroom communities for learners of all abilities," said Keifer-Boyd. "Michelle and I express our appreciation to the participants of Human Empowerment through the ARTS (HEARTS)—to both the pre-service educators who enrolled in the course to which HEARTS was attached, and to the students in the HEARTS program. It was the collective of those individuals' open minds, their genuine concern for one another, and their heartfelt desire to engage one another that enabled us all to create the fully participatory least restrictive learning community that we feel is embodied in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Without their willingness to contribute, the HEARTS program and this book could not have happened. "
Karen Keifer-Boyd, Ph.D., is a professor of art education and women's studies at Penn State. Her articles on feminist pedagogy, Judy Chicago's content-based art pedagogy, visual culture, intertextuality, cyberNet activism art pedagogy, arts-based and action research, transcultural dialogues, CyberHouse, and identity speculative fiction are in more than forty-five peer-reviewed research publications, and translated into several languages.

Day's Best: Statue of Liberty reopening for the Fourth
She took a punch in the face from Sandy, but now Lady Liberty will reopen for Independence Day.
The Statue of Liberty is reopening after the severe flooding caused by Hurricane Sandy months earlier, a storm that broke railings, damaged paving stones and destroyed mechanical systems on Liberty Island.
The damage to Liberty Island and neighboring Ellis Island cost an estimated $59 million, and there are some repairs still underway. Still, visitors will be able to see the island on July 4.
The statue, a gift from France, was dedicated in 1886 and symbolizes the friendship between the two countries and their shared love of liberty.
We're glad she's back in action.

The Dungeon Master.
Call them what you want -- the idea that one person creates a world while the others play in it is both the greatest strength and critical weakness of role-playing games.
How do you Dungeon Master well?
Here's the most effective beginners guide you'll ever read!
Calm down. Take a deep breath.
You are going to hang out with your friends for a few hours. It's going to be fun.
You don't have to entertain them. You are not responsible for their fun. Your job is to present interesting situations and facilitate the game. Responding to your players, listening to what they have to say, and deducing what they are interested in, while reacting to their crazy plans, is fun for you and will insure they have a good time.
You hang out with your friends all the time. Screw all that stuff. That stuff is there for resources when you go looking for it. You don't have to do anything, other than a minimal amount of preparation. Sometimes as little as 15 minutes.
You are preparing an environment for your friends to adventure in. Some games come with a strong built in structure (Shadowrun, Dungeons & Dragons). Some games come with a player driven structure (Vampire: The Masquerade).
You come up with an idea or structure for the adventure.
It is ok, and certainly a good idea, for your first game to be explicit about this structure! You can simply say "You have gathered together to explore the mystery of the Dungeon of Dragon Mountain for the reward offered by the town council." Or "You meet with your Johnson and he tells you the mission is to extract a Saeder-Krupp employee for 10,000 credits each." Or "You have all gathered together to meet the Prince of Hot Springs. He says your first task as his subjects is to clear out a gang of drug dealers operating out of one of his bars."
Remember. The Play is the Thing.
Well, you flesh out the structure of the adventure.
How do you do that?
It's up to you!
See, you are the one who is going to be running this adventure. You should prepare it in a way that works for you.(1) You know best how you work. Here are the basics:
All traditional role-playing game design is effectively the same. Your players will be playing characters that will be interacting with you and each other in a scene. These scenes will have some method of connecting with each other.
In each scene you will have one or more of six things.
An antagonist, a reward, something unusual, a plot twist or unexpected challenge, something bad or harmful or nothing (Monster, treasure, special, trick, trap and nothing)
Essentially yes. You should conceive or design at least 5 of these to last for a four to six hour session. Some games (like in Dungeons & Dragons) it's very easy to conceive of more so that the players can choose which ones they want to encounter. But it isn't terribly difficult in other games either. A successful scene in Vampire, for example requires nothing but an antagonist.
Even in free form games these connections between scenes can be explicit. In a dungeon your exits and corridors act as connections between the scenes, but even in a game like Vampire, after the prince gives you your mission, you can say "Do you wish to contact the Justicar for supplies, Jeff's sire for guidance, or return to your haven to plan?"
For creating your first session, that's it!
In general, your game is improved by having a scene for each of the following five items.
- Introduction
- Puzzle or Role-Playing Opportunity
- Red Herring
- Climax, Big Battle, or Conflict
- Plot Twist
Oh yeah? Let me tell you how you're going to screw it up.
You are going to imagine an exciting scene and then be tempted to try to force it to happen. Don't. This is agency destroying.
You are going to imagine a wonderful NPC, and then have him do all sorts of cool, bad-ass things. Don't. Nothing is less fun then sitting listening to how awesome someone else is. Seriously. The Worst.
Fudging the game. If you feel the need to fudge (change) a die roll, then you rolled a die for something you shouldn't have. Be very careful! If you are playing with adults, letting bad things happen to them will benefit the game, because then their choices have meaning. It is important that players feel a sense of agency. This includes such traditional errors such as having the bad guy escape/teleport away at the last second.
Attempting to dictate player actions. Don't. You want to know what's worse than a conversation about religion or politics? A discussion about what someone's character should do! Like any conversation not based in verifiable fact, it goes nowhere. Worse, the player takes it as a personal critique. If the players behavior is disruptive, then it should be dealt with directly and assertively; not using the argument 'your character wouldn't do that' to avoid a confrontation.
Opening your big fat mouth about what you had planned or what they missed. Don't. Talking about this stuff makes the game less fun for the players. Let them enjoy the sense of mystery.
Wanting things to happen. Let it go. No, Let It Go. Really. Let them miss the treasure or avoid the encounter. It feels like you are wasting work or they are missing fun, but in the end your players have to have the freedom to fail. There are always ways of reusing content.
Making the players jump through hoops. Don't. If it seems like they are about to make a colossally stupid decision then you have failed to communicate well. Don't punish them because you presented a situation poorly; clear up the misunderstanding. This can also be known as pixel bitching.
You may think there's only one solution to your situation. There's not. Design encounter with flexible solutions and allow the opportunity for your players to come up with their own solutions.
Some general advice.
Consistency. Prepare in a way that's clear to you and take a moment to write down things that you develop in play, like names of NPC's (or if you're really dedicated, record sessions).
Don't worry about rules. If you're smart enough to be running a game, you probably don't need to be told this, but you might have some compulsion or hang-up on 'doing it correctly'. Don't waste time during the game looking for the correct rule in the book. Make a judgement call and move on. Look it up later.
Listen to player comments, both in game and out of game. Let them know how you will address their actions in the future. Don't defend or debate your previous choices. Simply acknowledge what they are saying.
Involve the players. Remember, the game is about player choices. They are playing a game. If you just have them sit there powerless to affect things that are happening they will not be having fun.
Make sure the players are informed about their options. A choice between two identical dungeon corridors isn't a choice. It's a random selection. Make sure that for any choice, the players are given at least one piece of information about that choice.
A final word. A lot of advice is about how to handle problem situations. But the fact is, if you are having problems situations often it isn't a problem with the game. It's a personal issue. If you think to yourself "Ah-ha! He didn't say he lit a torch! Take 1-6 damage because you fall in the dark!" you do not need advice on how to DM. You need advice on how to get your needs met in an appropriate way in life.
(1)This could be different locations in a sandbox environment, Designing a flow-charted space or sequence of events, (making sure you do so in a format that's useful to you). or using a more advanced technique, such as outlining a spider web of non-player character influences.

UAB will share a 13.5 million dollar National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant with the University of Minnesota to create the National Transdisciplinary Collaborative Center for African American Men's Health (NTCC), which will be devoted to addressing health disparities. James M. Shikany, DrPH, professor in the Division of Preventive Medicine, is UAB's principal investigator for this project.
Various disciplines—such as public health, cancer, neurology, cardiology, and surgery—likely will be involved. This wide range is especially important since African American men have not only the highest age-adjusted death rate from any cause, but also perhaps the worst health status of any race or gender group in the United States.
The NIH's National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities will fund the center for five years. Research will target health disparities over the life course of African American men, including unintentional injuries, as well as those associated with violence, in addition to such chronic diseases as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and stroke.

Didn't watch the first one, probably won't watch this one. Other than that this looks totally fine, right? I mean, Paul Sheer's in it so it's got that going for it.
Having awoken from their spring break extravaganza at Lake Victoria, the swarm heads upstream where they look to make a meal out of Big Wet, a local water park where when it comes to fun, nobody does it wetter! Thought they came to get wet, get loaded and get some, the staff and patrons get more than they bargained for when they must face the fiercest, most bloodthirsty piranhas yet. Lead by the strong-willed, studious Maddy and her friends, Barry and Kyle, the trio must dive in and take on these man-eating creatures using every ounce of their being…but can they be stopped?

A unique blend of high-performance hot-start MyTaq™ HS DNA Polymerase and a proprietary proofreading enzyme, specifically developed for long PCR applications
Product Highlights
- Efficient – specifically developed to give reliable amplification of fragments between 10 kb and 25 kb in length
- Specific – incorporates an antibody-mediated hot-start enzyme blend that remains completely inactive during PCR set-up to prevent non-specific amplification
- Fast – rapid enzyme activation and highly efficient amplification support reduced time to results
- Flexible – ideal for amplifying a broad range of large fragments from even complex targets including human genomic DNA
- Accurate – possesses 3' – 5' proofreading exonuclease activity for increased fidelity, thereby enabling cloning of long PCR products
Product Description
RANGER Mix is an easy-to-use, high-performance enzyme blend, specifically developed to amplify fragments up to 25 kb in length. RANGER contains a unique combination of a highly-efficient DNA polymerases and novel buffer system that deliver the improved efficiency necessary for reliable amplification of longer amplicons.
RANGER is an antibody-mediated hot-start enzyme blend that eliminates non-specific amplification during reaction set-up. The inactivated enzymes do not possess polymerase activity, thereby preventing the non-specific amplification, such as primer-dimer formation, that often hinder long PCR reactions from the start.
RANGER Mix is an all-in-one mastermix containing dNTPs, MgCl2 and enhancers at optimal concentrations, minimizing the requirement for PCR optimization and driving greater sensitivity. RANGER Mix also improves reproducibility and minimizes the requirement for assay repeats, by reducing the number of pipetting steps, and therefore the risk of manual error, during reaction set-up.

Pooches and Pickups is coming soon! Yipee!! Only a week until I can finally post pictures and show you what I've been so excited about. But in the mean time, here's 2 things to tide you over. Another sneaky peaky!! I've had this old vintage toy truck for a while and it's the perfect prop for shooting fat quarters of Pooches & Pickups, no?
And for a giggle, some hilarious pictures of running basset hounds (make sure you click through...these are great shots; courtesy of Dave Stoppera via Buzz Feed). Nope, no basset hounds in Pooches and Pickups, nor are my pooches running, but a friend of mine shared these pictures with me yesterday and it will be impossible for you not to laugh. :) I have always, always loved and wanted a Basset Hound. Now I want one even more. I personally love the ones where the skin around their eyes has pulled back and they look kinda psychotic but still amazingly cute. Have a great Tuesday!

The nature of the villain role played by Benedict Cumberbatch in the Star Trek sequel may have just been revealed. In the interests of keeping the front page spoiler-free, I'll keep this brief and vague with all the important information after the jump. There are some additional spoiler-y bits that include cameos and alien races that could be featured in the sequel. And, as always, nothing is confirmed, so file these rumors under "extremely likely." The film stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin, Karl Urban, John Cho, Alice Eve, Peter Weller and Noel Clarke. Star Trek 2 opens May 17, 2013. Hit the jump to get spoiled.
In case you clicked here by mistake or are reading this in your feed, I'll try to save the spoilers for later on. In the meantime, you can get caught up on all of our previous coverage on the Star Trek sequel here, including set photos, a set video featuring a fight scene and comments on the sequel from writer/producer, Roberto Orci. Ready for the real news? Check it out below this lovely Star Trek image:
Ready now? TrekMovie has reportedly confirmed the rumor that Benedict Cumberbatch's villainous role is none other than Khan, the genetically engineered space tyrant. Originally played by Ricardo Montalban, Khan was rumored to be the sequel's villain when Abrams was auditioning Latino talent like Benicio del Toro; the role ultimately went to Cumberbatch after was was called a "very powerful audition." The site also reports that although Khan will be the antagonist in the sequel, the plot will not revolve around the original Star Trek series episode, "Space Seed," where Starfleet first encountered Khan.
The other minor spoilers in the film include the return of Leonard Nimoy as Spock Prime, a fact that the actor himself revealed during an interview with CNN and a recent tweet. Nimoy's work for the film is reportedly complete, which will make Star Trek 2 his eighth film appearance in the series (William Shatner is next at seven). Lastly, the Klingons might be making an appearance in the Star Trek sequel. The adversaries were left on the cutting room floor in the original, but are reportedly too vital to the storyline to be left behind this time. Star Trek 2 is currently on schedule to finish up shoots in Northern California, having wrapped in Southern California and on stages. Check back shortly for rumor confirmation.

The term biotechnology refers to the use of scientific techniques, including genetic engineering, to improve or modify plants, animals, and microorganisms. In its most basic forms, biotechnology has been in use for millennia. For example, Middle Easterners who domesticated and bred deer, antelope, and sheep as early as 18,000 B.C.E.; Egyptians who made wine in 4000 B.C.E.; and Louis Pasteur, who developed pasteurization in 1861, all used biotechnology. In recent years, however, food biotechnology has become synonymous with the terms genetically engineered foods and genetically modified organism (GMO).
Traditional biotechnology uses techniques such as crossbreeding, fermentation, and enzymatic treatments to produce desired changes in plants, animals, and foods. Crossbreeding plants or animals involves the selective passage of desirable genes from one generation to another. Microbial fermentation is used in making wine and other alcoholic beverages, yogurt, and many cheeses and breads. Using enzymes as food additives is another traditional form of biotechnology. For example, papain, an enzyme obtained from papaya fruit, is used to tenderize meat and clarify beverages.
Genetic Engineering
The DNA contained in genes determines inherited characteristics. Modifying DNA to remove, add, or alter genetic information is called genetic modification or genetic engineering. In the early 1980s, scientists developed recombinant DNA techniques that allowed them to extract DNA from one species and insert it into another. Refinements in these techniques have allowed identification of specific genes within DNA—and the transfer of that particular gene sequence of DNA into another species. For example, the genes responsible for producing insulin in humans have been isolated and inserted into bacteria. The insulin that is then produced by these bacteria, which is identical to human insulin, is then isolated and given to people who have diabetes. Similarly, the genes that produce chymosin, an enzyme that is involved in cheese manufacturing, have also been inserted into bacteria. Now, instead of having to extract chymosin from the stomachs of cows, it is made by bacteria. This type of application of genetic engineering has not been very controversial. However, applications involving the use of plants have been more controversial.
Among the first commercial applications of genetically engineered foods was a tomato in which the gene that produces the enzyme responsible for softening was turned off. The tomato could then be allowed to ripen on the vine without getting too soft to be packed and shipped. As of 2002, over forty food crops had been modified using recombinant DNA technology, including pesticide-resistant soybeans, virus-resistant squash, frost-resistant strawberries, corn and potatoes containing a natural pesticide, and rice containing beta-carotene. Consumer negativity toward biotechnology is increasing, not only in the United States, but also in the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, and France, despite increased consumer knowledge of biotechnology. The principle objections to biotechnology and foods produced using genetic modification are: concern about possible harm to human health (such as allergic responses to a "foreign gene"), possible negative impact to the environment, a general unease about the "unnatural" status of biotechnology, and religious concerns about modification.
Biotechnology in Animals
The most controversial applications of biotechnology involve the use of animals and the transfer of genes from animals to plants. The first animal-based application of biotechnology was the approval of the use of bacterially
Scientists inserted daffodil genes and other genetic material into ordinary rice to make this golden rice. The result is a strain of rice that provides vitamin A, a nutrient missing from the diets of many people who depend on rice as a food staple.
produced bovine somatotropin (bST) in dairy cows. Bovine somatotropin, a naturally occurring hormone, increases milk production. This application has not been commercially successful, however, primarily because of its expense. The cloning of animals is another potential application of biotechnology. Most experts believe that animal applications of biotechnology will occur slowly because of the social and ethical concerns of consumers.
Concerns about Food Production
Some concerns about the use of biotechnology for food production include possible allergic reactions to the transferred protein. For example, if a gene from Brazil nuts that produces an allergen were transferred to soybeans, an individual who is allergic to Brazil nuts might now also be allergic to soybeans. As a result, companies in the United States that develop genetically engineered foods must demonstrate to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that they did not transfer proteins that could result in food allergies. When, in fact, a company attempted to transfer a gene from Brazil nuts to soybeans, the company's tests revealed that they had transferred a gene for an allergen, and work on the project was halted. In 2000 a brand of taco shells was discovered to contain a variety of genetically engineered corn that had been approved by the FDA for use in animal feed, but not for human consumption. Although several antibiotechnology groups used this situation as an example of potential allergenicity stemming from the use of biotechnology, in this case the protein produced by the genetically modified gene was not an allergen. This incident also demonstrated the difficulties in keeping track of a genetically modified food that looks identical to the unmodified food. Other concerns about the use of recombinant DNA technology include potential losses of biodiversity and negative impacts on other aspects of the environment.
Safety and Labeling
In the United States, the FDA has ruled that foods produced though biotechnology require the same approval process as all other food, and that there is no inherent health risk in the use of biotechnology to develop plant food products. Therefore, no label is required simply to identify foods as products of biotechnology. Manufacturers bear the burden of proof for the safety of the food. To assist them with this, the FDA developed a decision-tree approach that allows food processors to anticipate safety concerns and know when to consult the FDA for guidance. The decision tree focuses on toxicants that are characteristic of each species involved; the potential for transferring food allergens from one food source to another; the concentration and bioavailability of nutrients in the food; and the safety and nutritional value of newly introduced proteins.
Labeling of genetically modified foods has sparked additional debate. Labels are required on food produced through biotechnology to inform consumers of any potential health or safety risk. For example, a label is required if a potential allergen is introduced into a food product. A label is also required if a food is transformed so that its nutrient content no longer resembles the original food. For example, so-called golden rice has been genetically engineered to have a higher concentration of beta-carotene than regular rice, and thus it must be included on the label. In response to consumer demands, regulators in England have instituted mandatory labeling laws for all packaged foods and menus containing genetically modified ingredients. Similar but less restrictive laws have been instituted in Japan. In Canada, the policy on labeling has remained similar to that of the United States.
Some consumer advocates maintain that not requiring a label on all genetically modified foods violates consumers' right to make informed food choices, and many producers of certain foods, such as foods containing soy protein, now include the term "non-GMO" on the label to indicate that the product does not contain genetically modified ingredients.
The application of recombinant DNA technology to foods, commonly called biotechnology, may be viewed as an extension of traditional cross-breeding and fermentation techniques. The technology enables scientists to transfer genetic material from one species to another, and may produce food crops and animals that are different than those obtained using traditional techniques. The FDA has established procedures for approval of food products manufactured using recombinant DNA technology that require food producers to demonstrate the safety of their products. The American Dietetic Association, the American Medical Association, and the World Health Organization have each adopted statements that techniques of biotechnology may have the potential to improve the food supply. These organizations and others acknowledge that long-term health and environmental impacts of the technology are not known, and they encourage continual monitoring of potential impacts.

"Obviously [Tuesday] night he was awesome and he's had days like that this year where he's been unbelievable," hitting coach Greg Walker said. "To me, the only issue so far this year is Carlos being late with the foot down, and we kind of corrected that a week, 10 days ago. Other than having a sore knee one day, he's really been good ever since."
Essentially, Walker has worked with Quentin to refine the timing of his swing. If Quentin can stride and get his foot down before the ball arrives, he is in a better position to cover the strike zone. His most impressive home run Tuesday came when he reached out across the plate and slugged a 400-foot-plus shot just inside the foul pole in right field.
"Going the other way is always a good sign for any hitter, especially being able to hit the ball in the gap and drive the ball," Quentin said. "My push is to always stay up the middle and to the right side and to accomplish that, that's something good."
Other White Sox links: J.J. wants the Sox to trade Juan Pierre, move Carlos Quentin to LF, and call up Dayan Viciedo, Brett Ballantini updates his six-man rotation and his most and least valuable Sox players calculations, Satchel Price says Alexei Ramirez is the best shortstop in the AL, and John Sickels' Prospect of the Day is ex-Sox prospect Fautino de los Santos.

Colorado Cold Cases: dying man named his killer
Robert Lee Leyba had two stab wounds in the chest as he lay bleeding in an alley beside a Commerce City trailer park.
The man who attacked Leyba in the back of a Recreational Vehicle at Los Valientes trailer park fled on foot.
A second man dragged Leyba to the front of the RV and left him briefly in the passenger seat. He later opened the passenger door and Leyba flopped to the ground. The second man grabbed Leyba, dragged him across a parking lot and dumped him near a tree.
When police arrived, Leyba was still conscious and breathing. The officer asked him who stabbed him.
The stabbing happened on Sept. 8, 2007.
Nearly eight years later, Leyba's niece, Tina Terry, of Colorado Springs still holds out hope that Commerce City police will solve the case. She said Friday that she has repeatedly spoken to Commerce City detectives, who tell her that the case is closed by exception.
What that means is that police are confident they know who killed her uncle, an Army veteran who fell on hard times shortly before his death, but circumstances make it impossible to solve the case.
Terry, a leader in a group called Families of Victims of Homicide and Missing Persons, is still hopeful that the man who killed her uncle more than seven years ago will some day be brought to justice.
