When dealing with religious fanatics who believe murder is an appropriate response for the burning of their religious material--ONE SHOULD NEVER APOLOGIZE.Presumably the Rev. Burleson is outraged at President Obama for expressing regret over the Kandahar massacre, because, as he says, when dealing with those barbaric Muslim fanatics "ONE SHOULD NEVER APOLOGIZE".
The President should order the military to do what United States General John J. "Blackjack" Pershing did in the Philippines in 1911 when his troops were faced with terrorism from radical Muslims. Documentation is scarce, and Snopes is unsure whether Pershing simply threatened a particular course of action, or actually did what he threatened. Either way, Pershing definitely NEVER APOLOGIZED for anything. Faced with increasing terrorist attacks by Islamic fundamentalists, Pershing threatened the Mullahs by saying, "(If you don't stop) we will splatter your houses and your families with pig's blood. If you attack us and are killed, we will bury you in pig-skins." Pershing knew that radical Muslims believe no person enters heaven who dies with pigs' blood on him or is buried among pig carcasses, and he used their beliefs against them.
Some contemporary accounts suggested that Pershing followed through with his threat after his forces captured some radicals who attacked and killed Americans in the Philippines. Pershing is said to have tied the captured terrorists to wooden posts, slaughtered some pigs, and then ordered his men to pour the pigs' blood over the radical Muslims. The terrorists were then shot. All of them were executed. All but one. One terrorist was tied to the stake but was intentionally NOT shot. The survivor watched as Pershing's men untied the dead, blood-covered bodies of his comarades. The soldiers then dumped the dead terrorists in fresh graves. The bodies were covered with pigs' carcasses and buried. Pershing ordered his men to cut the survivor loose. The U.S. commander told the surviving terrorist to go back to his superiors and report to them everything that he had seen. The Muslims became terrified of Pershing as a result. He was deemed a hard and unapologetic man who met force with vicious force. Consequently, there was peace in the Philippines for the next fifty years. The Mullahs even made Pershing an Honorary Chieftan and never again gave him trouble during his military career.
Fast forward one hundred years. Our military is now facing the same problems in Afghanistan that Pershing faced in the Philippines. Unfortunately, our President is apologizing for our military burning the Koran. That is absolutely absurd. I wonder what Obama would say if the U.S. commander in Afghanistan did what Pershing did in 1911? Sound too tough? Well, the U.S. government should be tough. The U.S. military should be even tougher. Our government bears a sword of vengeance, and it should be used. Churches are in the business of redemption, forgiveness and love. The United States government is in the business of justice. Any government that apologizes to murderers for burning their holy book has lost its moral bearings. You don't apologize when at war. If you have to apologize, you shouldn't be at war. The United States is at war. NO MORE APOLOGIES. The more you apologize, the weaker you look. The weaker you are perceived, the more your people are murdered.
I posted the following comment Tuesday at Rev. Burleson's sanguinary post. He has comment moderation, so I'm curious to see if he will let it post there:
It seems that at least one American soldier in Kandahar this past weekend decided to deliver the kind of terror you recommended in this post. From what we know so far, it looks like he decided he wanted to go kill him some of them barbaric Muslim Afghans. So he just went to a few houses and killt him some men, killt him some wimmin, and killt him some of them thar terrorist children. I haven't seen a report on whether any of those precious unborn babies were killed in his nighttime rampage.I'll be even more surprised if he has anything but weasel words to say about what responsibility good Christian white folks screaming for more blood might have on some brain-damaged soldier who gets liquored up and decides to go kill people just for the hell of it.
So your prayers were answered, Rev. Burleson. Although it's very obvious to me that in this case it wasn't Jesus that answered them.
I would be curious to know if the shooter read your pastoral advice in this post before he decided to go out and show them thar Muslim Afghan[s] how morally superior our Christian American way of doing things is. (I'll be very surprised if you allow this comment to post.)
I'm sick of it. I'm sick of warmongering Christian ministers, I'm sick of the Pentagon's lying propaganda about its wars, I'm sick of them dealing with massacres by American soldiers with a slap on the wrist, I'm sick of the gutless and irresponsible politicians in both parties who are unwilling to deal straightforwardly with what is obviously a far bigger problem in the killing fields of Afghanistan.
By the way, I didn't even bother to check whether the pastor lusting for more Muslim blood was even remotely accurate in his account of the incidents he claims happened in the Philippine War. It reads like something cracker militarists would e-mail around to each other. There's no doubt that mass killings of civilians were part of what the American colonial forces there did. The good Reverend obviously didn't care either: his point was about killin' more of them thar Afghan Muslims. Our gubment "bears a sword of vengeance, and it should be used," Rev. Burleson said. Obviously the American mass murderer(s) in Kandahar agreed.
Some press accounts related to the killings that the Rev. Burleson hoped to see the American "sword of vengeance" inflict:

This is my ini file.
ScummVM is the folder I store all my games in. When you asked for the ini file I started fiddling with it again and I actually messed things up. It took me a while to get it working. From having it not work to working again I discovered that "/sdcard" is the android way of saying "/Internal shared storage" for windows. This means that in order to access your games, the path will have to be "/sdcard/+the path to get to the folder you want" I also confirmed that the data installation was in fact "SD card storage" and that the specified directory was "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.scummvm.scummvm/files" which is where the ini file was located. Which means to me that if you can get ScummVM to not die the moment it tries to access the directory /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.scummvm.scummvm/files during startup, then the path from the ini file should fix the issue. Other than that I got nothing else. Hope this helps.
I am having the same problem: when taping the "add game" button, the browser is set to "/storage" and I can see two entries: "self" and "emulated". Tapping either shows an empty directory, so I cannot add any games.
Yes, I have enabled Storage permissions for ScummVM and tried to disable and enable it again with no luck.
I also tried to edit the scummvm.ini file setting last_path but it didn't work either: this options seems to be ignored. Note that this option seems to be ignored: no matter what I enter here, the browser seems to open "/storage". Also, when opening scummvm.ini for the first time, I noticed it was empty.
Is there a way to enable some logs that could help to track down the problem?
I'm running Android O dev preview on a Nexus 5X but was having the same problem with Android N before.
Google seems to have changed the API for file system access recently and hopefully, they have not done that again on Android O, looks the same on my 5X.
Try setting the following path in the scummvm.ini file:
Then run Scummvm again and try "add game".
That works on my Nexus 5X with Android 7.1.2

Los Angeles: Socialite Kim Kardashian has reportedly hired a personal trainer, who is helping her shed post-pregnancy weight as she wants to be able to fit into clothes which are a US size 4.
She wants to slim down for her first public appearance since having a baby. The reality TV star has a two-month-old daughter named North with rapper boyfriend Kanye West.
"Kim is totally focused on weight loss and has waited until now before real training, but has a new ripped personal trainer who comes to the house," femalefirst.co.uk quoted a source as saying.
The 32-year-old has ditched her pre-baby wardrobe and takes Green Coffee Bean Pill, a popular fad diet to lose weight fast.
"She has completely ditched her pre-baby wardrobe for a new smaller set of clothes as she loses more weight, and has taken to using the Hollywood fad coffee bean extract pills to shed the pounds," said the source.
"She`s desperate to be a size UK 10-12, and has spoken to leading nutritionists in Hollywood, who said the fat-busting pills were known to be effective," the source added.
Her mother and manager, Kris Jenner, thinks she still has "a way to go" before she reaches her target, but admits she`s dropped some pounds since she started breastfeeding.
"As far as Kim`s weight is concerned, she has a way to go. She lost quite a bit of weight initially when she first started breast feeding, but it`s especially tough losing those extra baby pounds," said Jenner.
"She is still breastfeeding and wants to continue for as long as she can," added Jenner.

Coach Jim Harbaugh talked about the Super Bowl being a "blessing and a curse," the latter because of his ties to the 49ers upcoming opponent, the Baltimore Ravens.
Just how deep those ties are can be found in a box score from Dec. 13, 1998. The quarterback for the Ravens that day was none other than Jim Harbaugh, with the starting middle linebacker Ray Lewis.
What's more, the Ravens opponent that day featured a player in the midst of one of the greatest rookie seasons ever for a wide receiver. His name? Randy Moss, now coached by Harbaugh.
"(I have) great respect for their organization," Harbaugh said Monday. "I worked with (general manager) Ozzie Newsome and (former owner) Art Modell. … I know many of the Baltimore Ravens players and have great respect for them and their team. I'm happy for them."
In the game in question more than 14 years ago, Harbaugh staked the Ravens to a 14-6, first-quarter lead, before the Vikings responded with 29 unanswered points.
Harbaugh cut the lead to 35-20 with a touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter, but the Vikings held on for a 38-28 win.
Overall, Harbaugh completed 16 of 26 passes for 212 yards and one touchdown. He had one of his passes intercepted. Harbaugh posted an 84.1 passer rating, slightly higher than the 81.2 recorded by counterpart Randall Cunningham.
Moss caught six passes for 89 yards that day, including a 17-yard touchdown that extended the Vikings lead to 22-14 early in the second quarter.
By season's end, Moss caught 69 passes for 1,313 and 17 touchdowns in helping the Vikings post a 15-1 record and advance to the NFC Championship Game.
Lewis, in his third NFL season, finished with 15 tackles, more than twice what any other player totaled in the game.
Coincidentally, Lewis' final NFL game will be the Super Bowl on Feb. 3, against a team coached by his one-time teammate.
The Lewis-Harbaugh ties date to 1996, when Lewis notched his first sack against Harbaugh.
Harbaugh was asked about that play Jan. 7, as the 49ers prepared for their first playoff game.
"My dad told me," Harbaugh said. "I didn't know that 'til, oh, three or four days ago. My dad called me up to say that he was inBaltimoreand some of the writers there mentioned it to him. My legend grows. Ray Lewis' first sack."

That "Guy" At The Track
Any R/C enthusiast who races regularly knows who I'm talking about, the rare breed of R/C racer who just drives you insane. I am relatively new to the racing scene, but not by any means am I new to the hobby. I recently started racing with my schools R/C club at a local track. Racing is a blast and for me is a culmination of all things good about the hobby. Picture the novice racer at his first race night experiencing some of the things I see too often at the track.
A track regular (we'll call him "Racer X") with an ego the size of the track itself, is standing front and center atop the drivers stand as a race begins. The race gets underway and the first sign of trouble involves Racer X. A string of negative commentary rains down from the drivers stand as the marshal frantically work to right the cars. As his car is tended to last, another barrage of choice words comes from above, this time directed at the marshal. Things proceed relatively smoothly after the first incident until Racer X comes up on some lap traffic. Yelling out leader as he whips around other slower drivers, Racer X is unintentionally blocked by another driver. The driver that blocked Racer X hears about it both the moment it happens and then again after the race.
In my short racing experience I have seen far too much of "Racer X" for my liking. I can see how a novice racer could go to the track for the first time and be on the receiving end of some negative comments and be turned off of racing for good. When I see things like this happen it really bums me out. One of the most detrimental things we can do for the health of the hobby is to discourage people from racing and participating in organized events.
Let's be honest here, whether we like it or not, we're all adults playing with toy cars. Therefore we should act like adults and play nice with each other. The racing scene should be one of respect and good natured competition, and almost everyone who is involved in the racing scene recognizes and follows those principles, showing respect and acceptance to everyone, even newcomers. It's the few people who seem to think they can play by a different set of rules that can be very harmful to the hobby. People who are just entering into R/C or just trying racing for the first time are just as valuable to the hobby and to the atmosphere of the track as the guy with 20 years of experience. So don't be intimidated by the Racer X at your local track, go out and enjoy the hobby! And for the love of R/C, don't be "that guy"!

I Amber Brown is one of my favorite Amber Brown books. I like this book very much because Amber acts like me in a way, and she has to deal with young girl problems like I do. My favorite part of the book was when Amber wanted to get her ears pierced because I really want to get my ears pierced too. I also liked the illustrations very much because they were done in black and white.
I highly recommend this book to anyone between the ages of seven and ten years old because those are the ages that girls want to do the things that Amber did so it would probaly be more interesting if you were one of those ages. I Amber Brown is a great book!

From all quarters, the first-ever Taste of Grand Island Fall Fest on Saturday was a huge success.
The event drew thousands to the Grand Island Plaza to enjoy food, entertainment, and the unveiling of the Grand Island Mural Project on the backside of the building.
Sam Aceti of Aceti's Wine and Spirits had four wineries on hand for the event, which he called "awesome."
"Look at the people," he said, gesturing at the crowd. Aceti praised the event's organizer, Corey McGowan, who spearheaded both the mural and the festival.
"(McGowan) has done a good job," Aceti said. "I'm already looking forward to next year. It's going to be even bigger and better next year. If you build it they'll come. I believe that's what Grand Island really needed. They're just hungry for something like this."
Muralist Terry Klaaren spent as much time talking to fans who thanked him for his efforts as he did painting his finishing touches on the Grand Island Plaza.
"This crowd is what Grand Island really deserves," said Klaaren. "I mean, this is a great turnout, and I'm sure for all the grief and work and stress that Corey McGowan has gone through, I think this should be a reward here, proof that things happen around here."
"It's a great idea," Emma Mahoney said of the event. She was selling witches hats, used as dining room centerpieces or for trick-or-treaters, for Gramma's Boo-tique,
"It's good," she said of the brisk business. "This is our last batch of hats. It's a great turnout actually."
"The weather has been really fantastic for October," noted Michael Mongan of The Beach House. He added he was pleased with the traffic for the first-ever event, saying that he joined the list of restaurants so that "Maybe some people that haven't been to the Beach House in a while might try our Reuben sandwich or our fish fry. Those our two of our really big-selling items."
Chaz Bulera, owner and chef of the reincarnated Riverstone Grill, brought his crew to the Taste. He and his wife, Kristina, decided to buy the Riverstone, and they are in the process of redesigning the menu, cleaning and redoing the kitchen.
He anticipates reopening the first week of November, and the Taste was a fitting coming out party.
"It's been fantastic," Bulera said of the Taste of Grand Island. "The people on Grand Island are always welcoming us back."
"It's part of what Grand Island is," he said. "Everybody helps each other."

The leading
'Guest Workers' Won't Work
by Tamar Jacoby
March 26, 2006
The conventional wisdom is all but unanimous, so much so that even those who hold the opposing view pay homage to it. Sure, some people dispute even the notion that we need foreign workers to keep the U.S. economy growing. But among those who recognize the necessity of a continued flow of immigrants to do dirty, unskilled jobs that educated Americans increasingly no longer want to do, the mantra goes unquestioned: What's needed is a guest worker program to deliver this labor in a timely, efficient way.
But the conventional wisdom is wrong, and as the Senate debates immigration in the weeks to come, members would do well to reexamine the assumption. The last thing the United States needs is an inflexible guest worker plan.
It isn't hard to understand where the idea came from or why it's popular in Washington. Policymakers from George W. Bush to Sens. John McCain, John Cornyn and Edward Kennedy grasp that the main problem with our immigration system is the lack of visas for foreign workers. International supply and demand -- demand created by U.S. labor needs -- generate a flow of roughly 1.5 million immigrants a year. But our annual immigration quotas accommodate less than two-thirds of that number, producing an annual spillover of about a half-million illegal workers that erodes the rule of law and undermines our security.
The logical remedy: to provide these additional workers with visas and allow them to enter the country in a lawful, dignified way. The only problem: Policymakers are afraid the public would reject such a large increase in permanent immigration. So even those who have been most courageous in promoting reform talk instead about temporary visas. Bush and Cornyn would require foreigners to go home at the end of their work stints. McCain and Kennedy would allow some workers to stay permanently, but they, too, call their proposal a temporary worker program, and many of those who support their package -- including myself -- have gone along in adopting the term.
The problem with the guest worker idea starts with practicality: Appealing as it sounds to some, a time-limited program will not work. The adage is true: There is nothing more permanent than a temporary worker. Many of those who come to the United States for short stints will want to stay on when their visas expire, perpetuating the underground economy that the program is supposed to eliminate.
This isn't just speculation -- look at the reality today. True enough, many young foreign workers initially come to the United States for what they think will be a short visit, and many do go home after a few years. But unlike past such workers, an increasing number are now staying on. This is partly a result of U.S. policy: Our efforts to fortify the border have made it harder for people to travel back and forth. But other, deeper forces are at work. The traditional flow of migrant farmworkers -- truly seasonal laborers, usually single men -- is giving way to a more diverse stream: both men and women, often with families, less rooted at home and more open to the lure of life in America.
Meanwhile, growing immigrant communities have made settling here a more attractive choice. Of some 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States, only 2.4 million are single men, while nearly half are couples and many have children. Legal migrants are even more rooted.
The bottom line: It won't help to bring our quotas more into line with the size of the immigrant flow if we don't also craft a policy in keeping with the way these workers behave -- and today that means accepting the reality that many will want to settle permanently in the United States.
But that's not all. Admitting foreign workers on a strictly temporary basis would also violate American traditions -- our democratic values and our history as a nation of immigrants -- and it would be deeply unpopular with the voting public.
The Manhattan Institute and the National Immigration Forum recently conducted a series of focus groups testing two contrasting options: a guest worker program or a more traditional immigration plan based on the idea of citizenship. The results ran sharply counter to the expectations of policymakers in Washington. Democrats and Republicans alike overwhelmingly preferred the citizenship model for reasons of both principle and practicality. It might make sense initially, these voters said, to admit workers on a provisional basis. It might also make sense to create incentives for the more transient to go home at the end of their work stints. But if they worked hard, put down roots and invested in their communities, wouldn't we want to encourage them to stay? Don't we want immigrants to assimilate? Don't we want to attract the kind of hard-working, committed folks who plan for the future and invest?
The answer is, of course, that we do. This isn't just the American way, it's also the antidote to many of our worst fears about immigration: Sojourners with no stake in the future are going to be much less likely to learn English or buy their own homes or make an effort to move up on the job.
Sure, a citizenship plan looks like a bigger gamble; like the workers, the changes that come with it will be permanent. But surely it would be better to face up to that change and shape it in a way consistent with our values. Rather than a one-size-fits-all guest worker program, we need a system that leaves room for workers to choose, welcoming those who feel they belong and who work their way up and make our country stronger as they do.Reproduced with permission from Tamar Jacoby.

Vallejo police said Monday they will investigate sexual hazing allegations that led last Friday to the firing of the varsity football coach and expulsion of five students at St. Patrick St. Vincent High School.
"We are aware of the allegations, and we are looking to talk to the people involved," said Lt. Jim O'Connell, head of investigations.
O'Connell said he also has been in contact with the archdiocese "on the matter and that (the diocese) has been cooperative."
"The investigation has just started, and is ongoing," said O'Connell, who added that police learned of the hazing charges last Thursday that involved attacks on six students.
Thursday was the day before first-year varsity coach Chris Cerbone was fired by Principal

The charges including that varsity players had removed their clothing and had held the younger players as they assaulted them with their genitals.

Fletcher Dean
Hometown: Midland, Mich.
Major: Professional Writing
WCSU Degree: Master of Fine Arts in Professional Writing
Internships: Teaching practicum - taught speechwriting at University of Virginia College at Wise in Wise, Va.
Activities: Director of Executive Communications and Chief Speechwriter for Chairman and CEO of Dow Chemical Company in Midland, Mich.
Honors and Awards: 3.8+ GPA
Fletcher Dean received a Bachelor of Arts in English with a concentration in Business Communication from the University of Virginia's College at Wise in 1987. He's been a professional writer for a number of years, but decided to enroll in WestConn's distance-learning Master of Fine Arts in Professional Writing program.
"It was clear to me that if I wanted to take my writing to a higher level that I would benefit from a program such as the M.F.A. in Professional Writing at WestConn," Dean says. "Throughout my career I've been focused on non-fiction writing -- first as a news reporter and more recently as a professional speechwriter. But I wanted to polish my speechwriting skills and push myself into fiction writing, and knew the best way to do that was to immerse myself into a program such as this where I was surrounded by other good writers and excellent mentors."
Dean says the M.F.A. in Professional Writing program was a perfect fit. "It combines writing on both the creative and practical levels and was flexible enough -- both in structure and approach -- to allow students to mold a great deal of their study around their own interests. Combine that with some great faculty and writing mentors and it was clear to me that this was the best program I could hope for. It was particularly well-suited for me as a working professional because it allowed me the time to fit a lot of my study around my professional life. I considered a great number of low-residency writing programs on the graduate level, but this was the only one that brought together everything I was looking for. Plus, this particular degree -- with an emphasis on professional writing -- is seen as a real plus by employers who hire writers and communicators. So a side benefit is that it looks very good on the resume."
Dean says he found many mentors and influences at WestConn. "Not only the professional staff but students, too. All of the faculty members have been extremely open and willing to help and share experiences if you ask. One mentor in particular, Mark Misercola, has been especially helpful. We have similar backgrounds on the professional side and he understands what I'm trying to accomplish within the framework of my home and professional life. Another hallmark of this program is that you can -- if you allow yourself -- form some very strong bonds with fellow students. Ron Samul, for example, was a semester ahead of me and helped me get started and was a great friend to call on to bounce ideas off of. Anne Witkatvich was another great friend who I've continued to stay in contact with.
After graduation, Dean's long-term goal is "to turn my thesis into a publishable book. I just began a new job in July of 2007, so I'm not looking to change careers or companies. I'm combining what I've learned in this program with what I've come to understand through my professional career to craft a book on public speaking that I'm hoping will find a nice niche in the publishing world. I'm also hoping to use this terminal degree to teach as an adjunct at one of my local colleges. I've always enjoyed teaching and find that it's a good way to force myself to stay current and to constantly challenges my own beliefs so I don't become stale. And, of course, I have to return to my fiction projects."
Dean's advice to new students entering WCSU is: "Dream big. Each of us has a dream about what we want to accomplish or be or do with the rest of our lives. As long as we're dreaming, we might as well dream as big a dream as we can. It doesn't cost one cent more to dream big than it does to limit yourself. Enlarge your concept of what's possible, think about your biggest dream and ask yourself this one question: Why not?"

Hi there!
Well it turns out that I also have mastitis . Thrush and mastitis at the same time--I never saw this coming! I was given an oral antibiotic for the mastitis, and still on nystatin cream for thrush. My doc hasn't prescribed the diflucan. Honestly, I'm still in a bit of pain. The let-down still burns and my nipple and areola hurt a lot when the baby nurses. I've only been on nystatin for a week. How often do you apply the nystatin? It seems like I can only leave it on for 45 mins to an hour at a time in between feedings. I'm also eating a lot of Dannon yogurt since it has acidopholus which is supposed to help replenish the good bacteria. And lots of cranberry juice. Trying to stay away from foods with a lot of sugar (i.e. cake and cookies) although this has been hard since my birthday was yesterday! Lol!
Thanks for sharing in this journey with me. I'm glad to hear that it's getting better for you.

Nexus Trial to Study Effects of Anti-S1P Monoclonal Antibody in Wet-AMD Patients
Nexus Trial to Study Effects of Anti-S1P Monoclonal Antibody in Wet-AMD Patients
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - Oct 3, 2012) - Lpath, Inc. (OTCQB: LPTN), the industry leader in bioactive lipid-targeted therapeutics, has initiated the dosing of iSONEP™ in its Nexus Phase 2 study, with several wet-AMD patients treated since September 21, 2012.
In the double-blind, multi-site trial, Lpath plans to dose 160 subjects who have not responded completely to a VEGF inhibitor (either Lucentis® or Avastin®). These subjects will be randomized into four arms: (1) VEGF inhibitor alone; (2) combination of a VEGF inhibitor and iSONEP (lower dose); (3) combination of a VEGF inhibitor and iSONEP (higher dose); and (4) iSONEP alone (higher dose).
Endpoints to be studied include changes in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), retinal thickness, and lesion size. The Nexus trial will also investigate iSONEP's ability to flatten Pigmented Epithelial Detachments (PEDs), a complication of wet AMD that does not respond well to anti-VEGF treatments.
"We are seeing strong enrollment momentum in our Nexus study," said Scott Pancoast, Lpath's president and chief executive officer. "Our Nexus study seeks to determine how iSONEP can best be used to benefit wet-AMD patients. Whether as first-line single agent, as first-line in combination with anti-VEGF therapies, or as second-line, a drug that can provide additive benefits in the treatment of wet AMD would have a significant market potential."
In the Phase 1 trial, where subjects with wet AMD received a single injection of iSONEP, a positive biological effect was observed in most patients, almost all of whom had failed to respond to treatment with Lucentis and/or Avastin. One such positive effect was a significant reduction (30%+) in the size of the choroidal neovascular lesion in many of the subjects, all of whom were not responding well to treatment with the VEGF inhibitors at the time they were enrolled in the study. Significant reduction in lesion size with a single injection is not typically observed with VEGF inhibition.
One of these subjects experienced a 100% reduction in lesion size as of Day 45. This subject did not have to be re-injected with the "standard of care" (i.e., with Lucentis or Avastin) for the entire 12-month monitoring period following the iSONEP injection.
Another subject who had undergone 16 prior treatments of Lucentis and Avastin without much response was administered the highest dose of iSONEP studied (1.8 mg.). This subject experienced not only a 100% reduction in lesion size by Day 15, but also a complete elimination of retinal swelling. Like the other subject, this subject also did not have to be re-injected with Lucentis or Avastin for the entire 12-month monitoring period following the iSONEP treatment.
These extended times to re-treatment suggest that any benefit derived from iSONEP may be durable, a particularly important attribute in this market.
Lpath hypothesizes that such distinctive benefits are due to powerful anti-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fibrotic mechanisms of action of iSONEP, which binds to and neutralizes the bioactive lipid, S1P. In various animal models of disease, iSONEP was shown to substantially reduce inflammation and angiogenesis in the eye (Campochiaro et al., Journal of Cellular Physiology, January 2009) and significantly mitigate ocular fibrosis (Grant et al., Experimental Eye Research, March 2009).
Lpath entered into an agreement with Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) in 2010 that provides Pfizer an exclusive option for a worldwide license to develop and commercialize iSONEP. Lpath and Pfizer have collaborated extensively on design and goals of the Nexus Phase 2 study.

Missoula School District – Teacher's Union Agree to Tentative Contract [AUDIO]
Officials from Missoula County Public Schools and the Missoula Education Association announced on Tuesday, that the two sides have tentatively reached a one-year contract agreement.
Gary Stein is a teacher at Missoula Sentinel High School and a current vice-president for the Missoula Education Association, the union that represents 670 certified educators in the district. Stein says the agreement was reached on Thursday, May 23.
"The most significant change is a three percent increase in pay on the base, which means that everybody who teaches in the district receives a three percent increase," Stein said. "There are also increases for teachers in what are called steps and lanes, involving their ability to move through the salary schedule based on years of service and on graduate college credits earned, so some people will receive a larger increase than three percent."
Stein said the agreement must still be voted on by members of the union.
"The agreement will go up for a ratification vote of the members next week, and by Friday, June 7, we should know the outcome of that ratification vote," Stein said.

Event specifications are used by the stop command, stopi command, when command, wheni command, trace command, and tracei command to denote event types and parameters. The format consists of a keyword representing the event type and optional parameters. The meaning of an event specification is generally identical for all three commands; exceptions are documented in the command descriptions (see stop Command, trace Command, and when Command).
A breakpoint is a location where an action occurs, at which point the program stops executing. The following are event specifications for breakpoint events.
The function has been entered, and the first line is about to be executed. The first executable code after the prolog is used as the actual breakpoint location. This may be a line where a local variable is being initialized. In the case of C++ constructors, execution stops after all base class constructors have executed. If the -instr modifier is used (see -instr), it is the first instruction of the function about to be executed. The function specification can take a formal parameter signature to help with overloaded function names or template instance specification. For example:
stop in mumble(int, float, struct Node *)
Do not confuse in function with the-in function modifier.
The designated line is about to be executed. If you specify filename, then the designated line in the specified file is about to be executed. The file name can be the name of a source file or an object file. Although quotation marks are not required, they may be necessary if the file name contains special characters. If the designated line is in template code, a breakpoint is placed on all instances of that template.
The instruction at the given address is about to be executed. This event is available only with thestopi command (see stopi Command) or with the -instr event modifier (see -instr).
Equivalent to in function for all overloaded functions named function or all template instantiations thereof.
Equivalent to in function or the member function named function for every class.
Equivalent to in function for all member functions that are members of classname, but not any of the bases of classname. -norecurse is the default. If -recurse is specified, the base classes are included.
A member function called on the specific object at the address denoted by object-expression has been called.stop inobject ox is roughly equivalent to the following, but unlike inclass, bases of the dynamic type of ox are included. -recurse is the default. If -norecurse is specified, the base classes are not included.
stop inclass dynamic_type(ox) -if this==ox
The following are event specifications for events that involve access or change to the contents of a memory address.
The memory specified by address-expression has been accessed.
mode specifies how the memory was accessed. It can be composed of one or all of the letters:
The memory at the specified address has been read.
The memory has been written to.
The memory has been executed.
mode can also contain either of the following:
Stops the process after the access (default).
Stops the process before the access.
In both cases the program counter will point at the offending instruction. The "before" and "after" refer to the side effect.
address-expression is any expression that can be evaluated to produce an address. If you give a symbolic expression, the size of the region to be watched is automatically deduced; you can override it by specifying byte-size-expression. You can also use nonsymbolic, typeless address expressions; in which case, the size is mandatory. For example:
stop access w 0x5678, sizeof(Complex)
The access command has the limitation that no two matched regions may overlap.
The access event specification is a replacement for the modify event specification.
The value of variable has changed. The change event is roughly equivalent to:
when step { if [ $last_value !=$[variable]] then stop else last_value=$[variable] fi }
This event is implemented using single-stepping. For faster performance, use the access event (see access mode address-expression [, byte-size-expression]).
The first time variable is checked causes one event, even though no change is detected. This first event provides access to the initial value of variable. Subsequent detected changes in the value of variable trigger additional events.
The condition denoted by condition-expression evaluates to true. You can specify any expression for condition-expression, but it must evaluate to an integral type. The cond event is roughly equivalent to:
stop step -if conditional_expression
The following are event specifications for system events.
These events occur after a dlopen()() call or a dlclose()() call succeeds. A dlopen()() call or dlclose()() call can cause more than one library to be loaded. The list of these libraries is always available in the predefined variable $dllist. The first shell word in $dllist is a "+" or a "-", indicating whether the list of libraries is being added or deleted.
lib-path is the name of a shared library. If it is specified, the event occurs only if the given library was loaded or unloaded. In that case, $dlobj contains the name of the library. $dllist is still available.
If lib-path begins with a /, a full string match is performed. Otherwise, only the tails of the paths are compared.
If lib-path is not specified, then the events always occur whenever there is any dl-activity. In this case, $dlobj is empty but $dllist is valid.
The fault event occurs when the specified fault is encountered. The faults are architecture-dependent. The following set of faults known to dbx is defined in the proc(4) man page.
Illegal instruction
Privileged instruction
Breakpoint trap
Trace trap (single step)
Memory access (such as alignment)
Memory bounds (invalid address)
Integer overflow
Integer zero divide
Floating-point exception
Irrecoverable stack fault
Recoverable page fault
Watchpoint trap
CPU performance counter overflow
BPT, TRACE, and BOUNDS are used by dbx to implement breakpoints and single-stepping. Handling them might interfere with how dbx works.
FLTBPT and FLTTRACE are ignored because they would interfere with basic dbx functionality such as breakpoints and single-stepping (see Event Safety).
These faults are taken from /sys/fault.h. fault can be any of those listed above, in uppercase or lowercase, with or without the FLT- prefix, or the actual numerical code.
The fault event is not available on Linux platforms.
The lwp_exit event occurs when lwp has been exited. $lwp contains the id of the exited LWP (lightweight process) for the duration of the event handler.
The lwpexit event is not available on Linux platforms.
The sig signal event occurs when the signal is first delivered to the program being debugged. signal can be either a decimal number or the signal name in uppercase or lowercase; the prefix is optional. This is completely independent of the catch command and ignore command, although the catch command can be implemented as follows:
function simple_catch { when sig $1 { stop; echo Stopped due to $sigstr $sig whereami } }
When the sig event is received, the process has not seen it yet. Only if you continue the process with the specified signal is the signal forwarded to it.
When the specified signal with the specified sub-code is first delivered to the child, the sig signal sub-code event occurs. As with signals, you can type the sub-code as a decimal number, in uppercase or lowercase; the prefix is optional.
The specified system call has just been initiated, and the process has entered kernel mode.
The concept of system call supported by dbx is that provided by traps into the kernel as enumerated in /usr/include/sys/syscall.h.
This is not the same as the ABI notion of system calls. Some ABI system calls are partially implemented in user mode and use non-ABI kernel traps. However, most of the generic system calls (the main exception being signal handling) are the same between syscall.h and the ABI.
The sysin event is not available on Linux platforms.
The list of kernel system call traps in /usr/include/sys/syscall.h is part of a private interface in the Solaris OS that changes from release to release. The list of trap names (codes) and trap numbers that dbx accepts includes all of those supported by any of the versions of the Solaris OS that dbx supports. It is unlikely that the names supported by dbx exactly match those of any particular release of the Solaris OS, and some of the names in syscall.h might not be available. Any trap number (code) is accepted by dbx and works as expected, but a warning is issued if it does not correspond to a known system call trap.
The specified system call is finished, and the process is about to return to user mode.
The sysout event is not available on Linux platforms.
Without arguments, all system calls are traced. Certain dbx features, for example, the modify event and runtime checking, cause the child to execute system calls for its own purposes and show up if traced.
The following are event specifications for events pertaining to execution progress.
The exit event occurs when the process has exited.
The next event is similar to the step event except that functions are not stepped into.
The returns event is a breakpoint at the return point of the current visited function. The visited function is used so that you can use the returns event specification after giving a number of step up commands. The returns event is always -temp and can only be created in the presence of a live process.
The returns function event executes each time the given function returns to its call site. This is not a temporary event. The return value is not provided, but you can find integral return values by accessing the following registers:
$rax, $rdx
The event is roughly equivalent to:
when in func { stop returns; }
The step event occurs when the first instruction of a source line is executed. For example, you can get simple tracing with:
when step { echo $lineno: $line; }; cont
When enabling a step event, you instruct dbx to single step automatically next time the contcommand is used.
The step (and next) events do not occur upon the termination of the step command. The step command is implemented in terms of the step event roughly as follows: alias step="when step -temp { whereami; stop; }; cont"
The following are event specifications for other types of events.
dbx has successfully attached to a process.
dbx has successfully detached from the program being debugged.
The process being debugged is about to expire, which can happen for the following reasons:
The _exit(2) system call has been called. (This happens either through an explicit call or when main() returns.)
A terminating signal is about to be delivered.
The process is being killed by the kill command.
The final state of the process is usually, but not always, available when this event is triggered, giving you your last opportunity to examine the state of the process. Resuming execution after this event terminates the process.
The lastrites event is not available on Linux platforms.
The proc_gone event occurs when dbx is no longer associated with a debugged process. The predefined variable $reason may be signal, exit, kill, or detach.
The prog_new event occurs when a new program has been loaded as a result of follow exec.
Handlers for this event are always permanent.
The process has stopped. The stop event occurs whenever the process stops such that the user receives a prompt, particularly in response to a stop handler. For example, the following commands are equivalent:
display x when stop {print x;}
The process being debugged has just been executed with exec(). All memory specified in a.out is valid and present, but preloaded shared libraries have not been loaded. For example, printf, although available to dbx, has not been mapped into memory.
A stop on this event is ineffective; however, you can use the sync event with the when command.
The sync event is not available on Linux platforms.
The syncrtld event occurs after a sync (or attach if the process being debugged has not yet processed shared libraries). It executes after the dynamic linker startup code has executed and the symbol tables of all preloaded shared libraries have been loaded, but before any code in the .init section has run.
A stop on this event is ineffective; however, you can use the syncrtld event with the when command.
The thr_create event occurs when a thread, or a thread with the specified thread_id, has been created. For example, in the following stop command, the thread ID t@1 refers to creating thread, while the thread ID t@5 refers to the created thread.
stop thr_create t@5 -thread t@1
The thr_exit event occurs when a thread has exited. To capture the exit of a specific thread, use the -thread option of the stop command as follows:
stop thr_exit -thread t@5
The throw event occurs whenever any exception that is not unhandled or unexpected is thrown by the application.
The throw event is not available on Linux platforms.
If an exception type is specified with the throw event, only exceptions of that type cause the throw event to occur.
-unhandled is a special exception type signifying an exception that is thrown but for which there is no handler.
-unexpected is a special exception type signifying an exception that does not satisfy the exception specification of the function that threw it.
The timer event occurs when the program being debugged has been running for seconds. The timer used with this event is shared with collector command. The resolution is in milliseconds, so a floating point value for seconds, for example 0.001, is acceptable.

7 Celebrities Who've Denied Gay Rumors
Hot 97's DJ Mister Cee was caught soliciting a male prostitute in Brooklyn this past weekend (May 4), according to the New York Daily News. And it wasn't the first time he'd been involved in a gay scandal. In 2011, Cee pled guilty after being arrested for receiving oral sex from a man in his car. The DJ spoke out against gay allegations, stating that he merely has an addiction to prostitutes and enjoys quick sex. "Let's say for argument's sake, let's say I'm lying…that's my choice," he said. "Even if I am lying and I choose to not come out, that's my choice."
Sounds iffy to us, but Cee's not the first famous figure to deny being gay. Click through for 7 other celebs who've ducked the rumors.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (July 3, 2013) – ETSU women's basketball head coach Brittney Ezell announced Tuesday that prep guard Adriane Vaughan (Midlothian, Va.) has signed a national letter of intent to join the Lady Bucs for the 2013-14 season.
Vaughan, a 5-foot-9 guard from Crosby High School, scored 1,021 points during her prep career while graduating with a 3.58 grade point average. She intends to major in health sciences at ETSU.
"Adriane Vaughan is a great find for our basketball program," Ezell said. "She is a winner in every facet of the word and comes to us from a great high school program in Virginia. She is a high-character kid with an incredible work ethic on and off the court. She is a student of the game and has the ability to play multiple positions for us. We are all thrilled to have Adriane join the Buccaneer family."
During her time at Crosby, Vaughan's teams won multiple tournament and season championships, which included district and regional titles. Individually, Vaughan was a first-team all-district selection and second-team all-region pick during her senior season, and she was named all-academic on numerous occasions during her four years of high school.
Vaughan joins guards Jasmine Hotchkins (Phoenix, Ariz.) and Shamauria Bridges (Miramar, Fla.) as members of Lady Bucs' 2013-14 recruiting class. For more on ETSU women's basketball throughout the offseason, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the women's hoops link.

Norway's financial regulator and central bank have received e-mails since 2010 from bankers outside the country alleging that interbank lending rates were being rigged.
The complaints came from "foreign banks," raising concerns about the manipulation of the Norwegian interbank offered rate, or Nibor, the central bank said in an August letter to the Financial Supervisory Authority obtained by Bloomberg today.
"As a market participant and as one of the largest issuers of Norwegian denominated debt I am writing to complain about the Norwegian fixings," a banker, whose name was blacked out, wrote in a June 2010 e-mail that was released by the central bank. "They seem to bear no resemblance to market realities and we suspect fixings that resemble market abuse."
The central bank in December announced it was investigating the setting of the rate, which is used as benchmark for mortgage rates, corporate bond yields and derivative contracts. Nibor is calculated as an average of rates published by a panel of banks for various maturities, excluding low and high quotes, according to the Finance Norway, which represents banks in the country.
The panel is made up of DNB ASA, Danske Bank A/S, Svenska Handelsbanken AB, Nordea Bank Norge ASA, SEB AB and Swedbank AB. Since there are very few loans given between banks that extend beyond a few days, longer maturity Nibor rates are based on U.S. dollar rates and on the term premium for the dollar and krone, according to the central bank.
More Volatile
The currency aspect has made Nibor more volatile, the central bank said.
"We don't recognize ourselves in the accusations directed at determining Nibor," Oslo-based Danske Bank spokesman Stian Arnesen said in an e-mailed reply to questions. "We have good internal procedures for determining our contribution and we do trust the routines for Nibor fixing determined by Finance Norway."
Nordea spokesman Thomas Sevang said the bank "welcomes that this is being investigated," by phone today. "We have no reason" to believe "that anything is wrong and we follow that procedure," he said.
Handelsbanken has "no information that suggests any wrong-doing," spokesman Lars N. Saethre said by phone. "We regard this as unlikely."
In a June 2010 e-mail, a banker said Nibor moves have "failed to reflect the prevailing market conditions" and since they have trades that are affected by the rate, they "wouldn't wish to feel that we are at the whim of the local panel banks."

Seems to be light coming from everywhere, which puts most of the image in the same "middle values" range. You have a similar problem with the monochrome nature of the image; because everything is essentially the same color, there's no color composition. Monochrome imagery can work, as any good black and white photographer will show, but when you're not using color you really need to push the value range -- dark darks and light lights -- and build a composition around the shapes created by those darks and lights._________________Art Links Archive -- Artists and Tutorials Back to top eWKnmemberMember #Joined: 28 Sep 2008Posts: 64Location: sweden Posted: Fri Feb 13, 2009 3:06 pm Thanks a lot , yeah i agree with you guys,It helped a lot.

Spirit Identification Help
Posted 08 May 2012 - 11:06 AM
I'm extremely new to this site and the message board. I need a bit of help identifying something. I am a paranormal investigator, and we went out to investigate a cemetery in our area. Upon arriving our group medium said she could see a small animal looking spirit. She said it looked like an opossum or something. Well, I decided to make first contact with this spirit and did so.
Now, it appears that the spirit is following me around, and is actually communicating with me via my Ghost Radar application on my cell phone. The spirit has said a lot to me this way, including talking of a bond or being bound. Having a master and more.
Has anyone run across these types of spirits before. I have tried communicating with him differently, i tried using a spirit box, but when its naked its to much interference, when its shielded its too hard for it to operate. These are all things ive gathered from intelligent conversations via my phone app.
Any help would be appreciated.

Consider, you ask a question, "What is your name?". The ghost box responds with "fear", "outside", "cold","tom", "bear","car", "died". All this interspaced with a lot of clicks and random noise.
Now most people would look at that list of responses and immediately assume the word "Tom" was the answer to the question. But realistically all words were generated in the same manner.and all must be given equal weight. So either the spirit doesn't know what it wants to say or the ghost box just happened to hit on a random name in its scan of possible responses. That's assuming the name was clearly heard. In the case of most ghost boxes which randomly tune radio stations the quality of the voice is so garbled that audio paraedolia (apophenia) must also be considered.
Bottoim line, something from a ghost app or ghost box with no other supporting evidence is not reliable enough to even suspect that anything is actually present. I wouldn't worry about it.

I go back to where I found this spirit regularly, but he always follows me, and my medium friend says that he no longer keeps the company of those like him. Like he is a outcast, that of which I knew when I met it, because it told us that. Its the smallest and possibly the weakest, but even at its weakest, it still provides me with info.
Im not sure what it is, but Im eager to find out, mainly because it keeps mentioning "bonding" or being "Bound". I dont mind the spirit being around, im used to that, because I have quite a few experiences with the paranormal. I have asked for the spirit to show it self to others, they usually report back they feel a cool or warm spot playing with them or toying with them.
I dont doubt a spirit it near, I can feel them, and if I send him to a friend of mine who is super sensitive, he immediately starts to tear up and cry. Thats his warning system.
Thank you so much for all your help. Ill try to keep you posted on what I find out.

I am a Shaman/Egyptian Pagan, and I even tried to relate it to some of the egyptian lore, but Its either a Elemental, Animal Spirit, or Demon.
I just dont know what yet. Keep in mind, this thing doesnt do anything destructive as far as I can tell.

My rats are occupied with gathering food, the snake is lazy...and the cat, does stare at things that I may not be able to see. The cat I had before this one would to the same thing.
Odd side note, the other day I saw a cat around my tv, i didnt think anything about it, just thinking it was my cat. Well, i turn around, and see my cat at the back door. So, who was the other cat? People who have stayed at my house have told me of another cat. But, i only have one.
Just a fun story about my cats.
So yes, they do.

2- Remember the power of suggestion, If you expect to see or hear something you probabaly will.
3- Phone apps are toys, play with them, but if they really worked, the inventor would have made the news and we would all be using them. They do not work.
4- Investigating in graveyards is #1 tresspassing, and #2- open air investigations are essentially contaminated from the start and it is difficult to rule out false positives in an uncontroled environment.
Do you have any recorded evidence of an entity? Why do you think it is following you ? Not to be mean or anything, but why do you assume it is paranormal to begin with?
After throughly reviewing everything that may be naturally occuring phenomena, you may have something unexplainable. I would ask a seasoned investigator to investigate yourself asap. Doing it yourself is like being your own lawyer, you can not be objective.
Finally, Information provided on a public forum should always be suspect. There is no way anyone can give you a correct answer when no one knows the whole story and circumstances but you. Find a reputable local team to sit down with and tell them every detail. ( more than once). The process of spirit identification is long and tedious. ( but exciting) Take your time to get all the facts, then do a ton of research.
Think about it, Your MD would not make a diagnosis over the phone or the internet, so how would you expect to get a supernatural diagnosis on line??
Be careful out there, study hard before you dive into to something that could be potentially dangerous !

Our psychic for our team is a medium and is a medium at a Spiritualist camp in florida. I know she is a medium, so I dont doubt that.
We dont go off of what we see or hear as far as our paranormal investigating has been going. But instead usually try to rely on the evidence that was captured, if any.
I agree, but we have had some really good and true information come through some. And most of it is usually the entity im refering to. Ive even asked it before, what it wants, its simply says, "Help" "Crew" "Satalite" "Learn". I gathered this to mean he wants to be our information guy.
Not tresspassing in graveyards, we get permission, and have actually had the sherrifs dept on our side. It is public property unless its gated and locked, or posted hours are visible. We know all about the open air investigations. So yeah...hear ya on that.
The information i have come across seems to point to paranormal. I looked up the posibility of it being something else, closest i got was nature spirits. But even then our medium insists its demonic. As for a reputable local team..thats my team. I have spoken to other teams, but many are very..closed. As in, not very informative, or just no response at all. The only other person i have heard of having this type of experience was Zak Bagans from Ghost Adventures. He had run ins with the same thing. Ghostly rodents. He doesnt respond to my tweets or emails..so i have up on him as a source of info. Funny thing is, this happened to him in Clearwater Florida i think, and i live in orlando Florida..so..kinda odd.
Anyways, thanks for the info. Anyway, thanks for the info, sorry it took so much time to reply.

The public intellectual has become a rare creature in America, but Kurt Andersen has helped keep it from going extinct. He co-founded Spy magazine, was editor of New York magazine and now writes pieces like Time's 2011 person of the year story, the Protester. These days, though, he mostly splits his time between hosting "Studio 360," broadcast weekly to 160 NPR stations, and writing the occasional bestselling novel. His next book, "True Believers" (Random House: 447 pp., $27), comes out Tuesday.
The novel is about Karen Hollander, a law school dean and former Supreme Court nominee, who sets out to write an autobiography that will reveal her most deeply held secret, a radical 1960s past. Describing Hollander, Andersen jokes that she's like Hillary Clinton, "if Hillary never met Bill and became a lawyer … and had this secret in her life that presumably Hillary does not."
In alternating chapters, the book works its way into that secret from two directions. First, there is Hollander's Midwestern childhood, in which she and her two closest friends play elaborate James Bond games based on Ian Fleming's books. Her granddaughter Waverly gleefully tells her that she invented LARPing before explaining that LARP is an acronym for live-action role playing. That's from the other thread, based in the present-ish 2013. As the secretly radical Hollander unpacks the narrative of her past, her adored teenage granddaughter is openly involved in public protests.
"I finished a draft before Occupy Wall Street existed," Andersen says. "I basically finished the book, and suddenly, holy cow! There's this thing called Occupy." That meant, on the one hand, some rapid revising — Waverly's radicalism took on a name and shape — and on the other, that Andersen had been one step ahead.
"I felt, dare I say, prescient?" he says. It is, indeed, all but predictive. Andersen is uniquely positioned to write so-close-it-comes-true fiction, drawing on his particular experiences analyzing the political and artistic world around him. "The journalist in me, when he is a fiction writer, gets to be a dowser," he explains.
The lanky Andersen has a self-effacing humility; perhaps it's his Nebraska upbringing. He is quick to make sure that what he says doesn't come across as pretentious, and he's a lively, engaged presence on Twitter. Look closely, though, and his quietly elegant suit jacket and rapid turn of thought point to formative years at Harvard — an editor of the Lampoon, class of '76.
Like Andersen, his main character, Hollander, is a baby boomer: She is a little older and notably politically precocious. As a child, she learns about civil rights from her family's African American maid; as a teenager, she's reading statements from the Students for a Democratic Society. Off at college, she's rapidly frustrated by what she sees as ineffective public protest. And she's not alone — her two closest friends, both male, are with her all the way. Andersen convincingly portrays their interlocked world as an intimate echo chamber. Although an individual, she is also a kind of representative.
"She is an extreme example of a certain part of her generation," Andersen says. "Fancying themselves as revolutionaries, 'It's a new world, we're the first people to see clearly how terrible it is, this is year one.' And then in the 1970s and '80s, if they didn't become their parents, they at least became bourgeois bohemians and lived life, had marriages and careers."
If there's an implicit criticism in that, it's not a condemnation. Andersen himself is married and has a family — he thanks his daughters and his wife, writer Anne Kreamer, in the book's acknowledgments, for helping him see "how the other half thinks." That's because "True Believers" is written in the first person, from Karen Hollander's point of view. It allows for some smart novelistic maneuvering — how much are we to believe what she's telling us? Is she hiding something? But this may seem an unusual choice for a male writer, who includes her falling in love, her thoughts as a mother and grandmother, and being a sexually active 64-year-old. "It'll be interesting to see how people will react to her voice and her life," he says.
"Starting with the baby boomer generation, there was this change: You never have to totally grow up. You can still wear jeans. You can still care about sex. You can still get high. You can do so even if you're this fancy lawyer," Andersen says. "That's a new thing."
Although he didn't realize it at first, what intrigues the novelist in Andersen are moments of great cultural shifts. "Turn of the Century" was set in 1999, "Heyday" was about the 1840s, and now he's turned to the 1960s. "I was alive when all this was happening, but I was a little kid as opposed to a bigger kid. I had to remind myself of exactly what songs were playing in 1967," he says. "I wouldn't call it nostalgia at all.… The late 1960s were this we-shall-never-see-their-likes-again moment."
And yet reflections of that moment are returning, as his early draft of "True Believers" and the subsequent Occupy movement show. Even the book's cover is an echo, a play on the art for Dalton Trumbo's antiwar classic "Johnny Got His Gun." So why not just stick to journalism, to track cultural change for the New York Times and Time magazine?
"A fiction writer is trying to reveal lives and minds in a way that journalism never can," Andersen says. "As people have always said: Through making things up you can get to different kinds of truths. I don't want to be pretentious and use Truth with a capital T, but I think we all keep all kinds of secrets. And by secret I don't mean I killed a hobo in Reno, but I'm scared of this.... When we all look at ourselves honestly, we can all see, even the most straightforward of us — and I pride myself on being pretty straightforward — have all kinds of lies, secrets, dissemblings that we do."
Andersen brings "True Believers," and his secrets, to Southern California on July 26, when he'll be reading at Live Talks L.A. at Track 16 in Santa Monica.
