The downtown business area of Kingston was most affected by the quake. Some places of business lost a number of workers. Nine staff members at the Myrtle Bank Hotel were killed. Here are two postcards of the Myrtle Bank Hotel, before and after the earthquake:
I found death registrations for six members of the staff of Emanuel Lyons and Sons Ltd. at the corner of King and Harbour Streets. This postcard of what was left of the building shows how devastating the damage must have been.
As I read through the records I found a variety of comments under cause of death. One woman, Lucinda Allen of 4 James Steet, married, age 40, died "apparently from fright -- no injury". Thomas Bernard Philpotts, cigar maker, age 57, died of "heart disease and fright due to the earthquake". Another woman, Henrietta Pinnock, "died after premature delivery brought on by shock received from the earthquake". One of the saddest I found was the record for a little girl, Emily Letitia Jopp, age 6. On her record this note was added: "This little girl was found dead with a slate beside her on which she had just written 'God is Love'".
It would be too easy to say that people died because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time -- that sentiment could refer to all those who lost their lives, but some deaths stand out, such as that of Marcus Moses Delgado. Thanks to Stephen Delgado Porter I know something of Marcus' history. He was the son of Edwin Delgado and had married Miriam Brandon, daugher of Nathaniel Brandon. They had six children. In December 1904 Marcus emigrated to Cartagena, Colombia, to improve his fortune, leaving his wife and children in Kingston. He returned to his family at Christmas 1906 and on January 14th, 1907, went downtown to buy his daughter, Sybil, a birthday present -- that day was her eleventh birthday. Marcus was killed by falling walls, at the corner of Harbour and Duke Streets. He was 48 years old.
Another casualty,somewhat closer to me. was that of Bertie Bold Vendryes, the wife of Philip Camille Vendryes. Bertie was the daughter of George Christopher Baylis and his wife, Elizabeth McDonald. Elizabeth was the step-daughter of my great grandfather, Daniel Elias Brown who had married her mother, the widow of Donald McDonald. Not only were the Brown and the Baylis families close but George Baylis worked at the Dock Yard in Port Royal along with my grandfather, William Dey Smedmore. Bertie, who was pregnant at the time, died on January 23rd at Winchester Hospital,as a result of premature delivery brought on by the earthquake,as well as puerperal fever and heart failure. The child, a boy, Joseph, did not survive. Also killed on January 14th was Bertie's and Philip's daughter, Vida, who was nine years old. So Philip lost his wife, his daughter and his newly born son.
Many well-known buildings in Kingston and elsewhere in the island were damaged or totally destroyed. The Kingston Parish Church lost its steeple and its clock.
The tower and clock were restored but without the steeple.Some odd things happened as a result of the earthquake; for example, the statue of Queen Victoria at the Parade was turned completely around,
and the statue of Father Joseph Dupont, one of the longest-serving Jesuit priests in Jamaica, was knocked completely off its pedestal.
It is no wonder that there are so many postcards of the damage wrought by this earthquake, the worst that Jamaica had experienced since the 1692 quake which destroyed the town of Port Royal. In a matter of a minute or two so many buildings in the city were reduced to rubble and so many people died. Yet the people of Kingston would come back from this devastation. As the Gleaner of January 18, 1907, put it:
"Just when we were talking of returning prosperity the hand of adversity has again touched us, and once more we are called upon to fight our way forward. We will do so. We will not allow ourselves to be terrified. We will build Kingston again and, with God's help, will build it better."

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
and twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending line
along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
in such a jocund company:
I gazed - and gazed - but little thought
what wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
- What role, if any, does memory play in this poem?
- How does Wordsworth's "poetry of nature" in this poem transform itself into the "poetry of self-consciousness"?
- Oft I had heard of Lucy Gray:
- And, when I crossed the wild,
- I chanced to see at break of day
- The solitary child. (lines 1–4)
- But the sweet face of Lucy Gray
- Will never more be seen. (lines 11–12)
- The storm came on before its time:
- She wandered up and down;
- And many a hill did Lucy climb:
- But never reached the town. (lines 29–32)
- At day-break on a hill they stood
- That overlooked the moor;
- And thence they saw the bridge of wood,
- A furlong from their door.
- They wept—and, turning homeward, cried,
- "In heaven we all shall meet;"
- —When in the snow the mother spied
- The print of Lucy's feet. (lines 37–44)
- And to the bridge they came.
- They followed from the snowy bank
- Those footmarks, one by one,
- Into the middle of the plank;
- And further there were none! (lines 52–56)
- —Yet some maintain that to this day
- She is a living child;
- That you may see sweet Lucy Gray
- Upon the lonesome wild.
- O'er rough and smooth she trips along,
- And never looks behind;
- And sings a solitary song
- That whistles in the wind. (lines 57–64)
- What role, if any, does memory play in this poem? Compare to "I Wandered..."
- Why is it important to Wordsworth's speaker that Lucy is solitary? What is the value of solitariness?
- See line 40 - why has the world become "unintelligible" to the speaker? What has happened to him over time?
- What is the difference between the pleasure the speaker took in nature as a child and the pleasure he draws from it now? What does the poet gain from his reflections on the past?
- What is the role of "affective memory" in "Tintern Abbey"? How, in other words, does this kind of memory help Wordsworth's lyric speaker first to recognize his problem and then to resolve it?
- What two kinds of self-consciousness are described in "Intimations of Immortality"? Which type is more desirable? Why?
- What differences, if any, do you find in this ode's "affective resolution" compared to the one in "Tintern Abbey"?
Three Years She Grew
- What will be the relationship between the child and nature? Is it a different one than is posited for the speaker? If so, how?

If you look at Germantown Friends School's cross country schedule in any given season, it usually reveals something about what coach Rob Hewitt feels about the current strength of his program. When the Tigers promise to be exceptionally talented, they won't engage in a lot of races outside of their mandatory league bouts, but the outside events that they enter are high-profile invitationals.
This holds true for both the GFS boys and girls teams this fall, who have been smoking the Friends Schools League competition, and are challenging themselves with excursions to races such as the Bowdoin Park (NY) Cross Country Challenge and the Manhattan Invitational.
The Manhattan gathering, which draws from up and down the eastern seaboard, is coming up on October 13, and the Tigers have already raced at Bowdoin Park, where the boys' squad faced the number one team in the United States on September 22.
The Christian Brothers Academy, of Lincroft, NJ, rolled up a perfect score by snapping up places one through five, and it was no small achievement for Germantown Friends senior Sami Aziz to cross the line immediately after this quintet. The winning time at Bowdoin Park, located a little south of Poughkeepsie and considered one of the toughest five-kilometer courses in the Northeast, was 16:03.11, and Aziz arrived sixth in 16:23.36.
The other component in the Tigers' premier pair of seniors, Lyle Wistar, finished 11th in 16:40.21.
Asked about the prowess of the top-ranked CBA Colts, Coach Hewitt observed, "The word is 'humbling.' They gave us a good tour of Bowdoin Park. Lyle was actually with their top five more of the time up to 3k, then Sami had a nice finish."
Each one is capable of taking on the leading role for the team on any given day.
"They're a great one and two for us," Hewitt said. "Both of them are phenomenally fit."
Aziz came in just two seconds behind the number five man for the Christian Brothers. After Wistar came Germantown's third senior tri-captain, Henry Shah, who completed the circuit in 17:49.11 for 47th place. The Tigers' scoring was rounded out by junior James Finney (51st; 17:58.99) and senior Ben Stassen (53rd; 18:03.52), while the sixth runner who made the trip to Bowdoin Park, Paul Maxson, placed 72nd (of 135 finishers) in 18:51.17.
Tigers junior Andy Bugos, usually a member of the team's top seven, was competing closer to home at a different event on the same Saturday. He came in ninth at the George School Invitational, with a time of 17:43.
At Bowdoin Park, Christian Brothers Academy dominated the team scoring with a perfect 15 points, while runner-up Pembroke (Mass.) High School had 107 points, and GFS was eighth among the 20 official teams, with a total of 168 points.
The GFS girls' team, which graduated several very talented runners from the 2011 roster, has needed a little more tweaking, but Hewitt is excited about their prospects. The Tigers did not take a full girls' team to Bowdoin Park; six athletes made the journey, but two were entered in a separate freshman race.
A local runner from Newburgh High School won the race in 19:15, and the first GFS finisher, senior Eliza Lukens-Day, placed 15th (of 186 finishers) in 20:37.66. Her classmate Isabel Goldstein was 29th in 21:14.76, and the other two Tigers finished close together, junior Alison Love landing 54th in 22:13.49, and sophomore Arielle Frank one spot behind in 22:21.89.
Hewitt also speaks enthusiastically about the development of sophomore Brigit Andersson, who played soccer last fall and then ran track in the spring, and of freshman talents Caitlin Harrity and Alice Wistar (Lyle's sister). The ninth graders finished third and fourth in the three-kilometer freshman race at Bowdoin Park.
"The one thing that's really nice about this team is that we've got our two through seven runners all working out together, and there's some serious talent there," Hewitt noted.
As for Lukens-Day, he commented, "This is the best I've ever seen her mentally and physically. She's also great in a leadership role because she not only talks it but walks it. You can feel that energy from her – that we're going to make this work."
Both the GFS boys and girls teams will be seeking their 11th straight league titles at the Friends Schools League championships on October 16. However, many of the top Tigers will be racing just three days before that at the Manhattan Invitational.
"We really wanted to race at Manhattan this year because we felt that both of our teams are at a level where we can handle that," Hewitt explained. "Potentially we could race a little tired at the league championships, but I think we'll be okay. Only five of the boys will be going to New York, so our six and seven will be fresh for the Friends League meet."
On October 27, Germantown Friends will participate in the Pa. Independent Schools State Championships, where the boys will be seeking their seventh title and the girls will be looking to dethrone defending champ Notre Dame.

This past week provided me with the opportunity to take in three totally different musical experiences. The 2011 summer season of concerts in Pastorius Park got underway Wednesday evening, June 15, with singer/songwriter Jeffrey Gaines. Archi Celesti Philadelphia presented the first professional chamber music recital in the brand new Leonard Mellman Recital Hall in the Willow Grove Branch of Settlement Music School Friday, June 17. And Tempesta di Mare Baroque Orchestra joined forces with The Crossing in a concert Saturday night in the Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill that boasted two world premieres.
The weather couldn't have been nicer for the opening of the Chestnut Hill Community Association's annual series of concerts in Pastorius Park last Wednesday evening. Nor could the music-making Jeffrey Gaines. His slightly edgy but eloquently inflected voice delivered his repertoire of soulful songs with unaffected expressivity.
Gaines is a jazz/folk/pop/rock vocalist who sang a roster of selections that seamlessly fused a broad spectrum of styles with a focused intensity of phrasing and natural clarity of diction. There were no artificial flourishes, no theatrical gestures – just honest delineation of the emotional universe of each song's narrative.
Perhaps the most encouraging aspect of the concert was the huge crowd that virtually filled to bursting the natural amphitheater in Pastorius Park. Chestnut Hill remains a vibrant community of people eager to spend a good time with each other enjoying beautiful music. Let's just hope the weather continues to cooperate!
Donald Nally conducted The Crossing's second concert in this year's "Month of Moderns" Saturday night in the Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill. The program of two world premieres and a third choral beauty composed way back in 2005 drew a crowd that literally packed the church's main sanctuary. Perhaps even more impressively, the vast majority of those who attended the performance stayed afterwards for the reception where they could converse with the performers and the one local musician (Kile Smith) who were in attendance regarding the music and what it meant to them. So much for the notion that modern music doesn't speak to its listeners!
The two world premieres are part of The Crossing's "Seneca Sounds" project that commissions contemporary choral composers to set ancient texts to music. The two scores premiered Saturday night here in Chestnut Hill were "The Waking Sun" by Kile Smith and "Thyestes" by Montana-born Kamran Ince. The third ("older" in comparison to the two world premieres) work was "Not no faceless angel" by the Bermuda-born Gabriel Jackson. The three came together to fashion a compelling portrait of musical invention securely placed within the context of the great choral traditions stretching back to Gregorian chant plainsong.
In all three scores, Nally displayed his peerless ear for tuning, balance, phrasing and dynamic intensity ranging from the softest to the loudest singing. The choir sang impeccably and immaculately yet with so much excitement and inspiration that the performance sounded spontaneous.
Settlement Music School's new branch in Willow Grove hosted its first professional chamber music recital Friday, June 17, with the inaugural performance in its Leonard Mellman Recital Hall of the Archi Celesti Philadelphia ensemble. The event was sponsored by the Leopold Mozart Academy of Elkins Park and featured violinist Ellen DePasquale, violinists/violists Jason DePue and Lorenzo Raval, cellists Mirjam Ingolfsson and Rajil Bicolli, and pianist Mikhail Yanovitsky. The program consisted of two stellar works of the chamber music repertoire – Franz Schubert's "String Quintet in C major" and Johannes Brahms' "Piano Quintet in F minor," but the star of the evening was in many ways the Mellman Recital Hall, itself.
Seating nearly 400 and boasting two vintage Steinway concert grand pianos, ample backstage facilities, and a large, well-lit parking lot, the hall most importantly offers a spacious stage and excellent acoustics. The sound, even when sitting off to one side or the other, is bright yet resonant. Add to that virtually perfect sightlines from every seat, and you've got a perfect venue for chamber music.
The playing was very impressive tonally. All five musicians blended their individual voices with expert sensitivity, none either overwhelming the others or fading into obscurity. But unusually scored works such as this string quartet almost always require a seasoned quartet joined by a trusted colleague to interpret it efficaciously. Without a long history of strong leadership to sustain and maintain a steady pulse, expressivity can easily (and often does) wander into excess and indulgence. That's what happened Friday night in the first and second movements. Ritardandos in the former sometimes slowed down too much while the overall tempo in the latter tended to drag. Fortunately, the pace and the spirit picked up markedly and effectively in the third and fourth movements.

The Art of Tragedy
What do we owe the gods? What do we deserve from them? Is it folly to insist on order and decorum in light of our true passions and furies, often so far from orderly? What decides our fate? Who are we?
The Bacchae's tragic arc unfolds these questions and pulls all of us into its thrall, as surely as Pentheus, the mortal man, is tempted by the very urges he takes up arms against. It is a spell cast across 2500 years, still potent, still disturbing.
Froma Zeitlin,
Professor Of Classics, Princeton University:
"And at the end of the play, I think one of the most poignant moments is when Cadmus says to the god Dionysus, 'I know we erred, but you are too cruel, you punished us too much.'"

|Version 3 (modified by 13 years ago) (diff),
TOC(inline, GenericAuthorization)?
As part of Google's 2006 Summer of Code, Joseph Kocherhans will be implementing a more flexible authorization system for Django. The new system should allow for ACL's, role-based systems, and Django's current model-level permissions.
peak.security http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/SecurityRules will be used as a basic model, but things will be made more django-like where it makes sense.
Currently Django's authentication system is tied directly to the User model from django.contrib.auth. Also, there is no way to allow for row-level permissions. Authentication checks will be changed to use a new generic function:
has_permission(user, permission, object)
This function will delegate to other functions based on the type of user, permission and object that are passed to it. This will allow the use of different types of security rules depending on the type of object being accessed, as well as allowing for new user objects that don't need to fulfill the whole
django.contrib.auth.models.User interface. You can even create rules that don't depend on the default permission table in the database.
The scope of this project is limited to providing the underlying support for making ACL's, etc possible, not actually implementing such policies. A policy that mimicks Django's model-level permission system will be included though.
Checking a permission
from django.contrib.auth import has_permission if has_permission(user, permission, object): # do something
Adding new rules
Here's an example of the low level api for adding new security rules. In reality, this will probably happen under the covers via new Meta settings, but this will be discussed later, probably after the low level stuff has been implemented and tested.
from django.contrib.auth.models import User from django.contrib.auth import has_permission def default_has_permission(user, permission, object=None): return user.has_perm(permission) has_permission.register(default_has_permission, User)
This is fairly close to what it would look like to implement django's current security policy. The object isn't really important in this case since Django's permissions are based on the Model you're accessing, not the actual object (See RowLevelPermissions for object-specific permissions.) We is we pass more than just
User to the register method, we can register different security rules for different Models.
has_permission will be implemented as a class with a
register method and a
__call__(self, user, permission, object) method.
This method is similar to Philip J. Eby's [RuleDispatch http://peak.telecommunity.com/PyCon05Talk/] and Guido van Rossum's recent work on generic/overloaded functions. See wiki:GenericAuthorization#References for examples. The plan is to start out with a really naive and simple implementation, if it works and performs reasonably it should probably be left simple.
Here's a simple roadmap for this project. I'll try to keep it as up to date as possible, noting changeset numbers as tasks are completed.
|Implement and test the has_permission generic function.
|Not Started
|Implement a function to mimic Django's current authorization.
|Not Started
| Update the admin system to use
has_permission and test.
|Not Started
| Update other views/decorators to use
has_permission and test.
|Not Started
|Revise this page and integrate into core django docs. (Is this allowed for SoC, I'l let my mentor decide, if not, I'll just do it after SoC is over)
|Not Started

This week's thoughts
• Good wins for the Burlington basketball teams. Clinton isn't a heavyweight in the Mississippi Athletic Conference, but wins are good no matter who they were against, discount LIBRIUM. For the girls, LIBRIUM treatment, the win was a long-time coming. They'd played well for a good stretch early in the season, but there was no payoff, LIBRIUM FOR SALE. Now, there is, LIBRIUM from canadian pharmacy. For the boys, LIBRIUM cost, it a test of poise down the stretch and they came out on top after losing their first two games by almost 30 points per game.
• The SEI Superconference North Division for boys basketball shouldn't be taken lightly. The bottom-tier teams are there for a reason, but there are four legit teams at the top. Lone Tree has been a big surprise, effects of LIBRIUM. The Lions were tough last season, Cheap LIBRIUM, but they are now the only perfect team this season after handing Mediapolis a four-point loss on the Bulldogs' home court. LIBRIUM FOR SALE, IMS is always tough, but already has a loss (Washington). This week is a huge one for the Big Four. IMS plays at Lone Tree in a top-10 battle, online buy LIBRIUM without a prescription, and Mediapolis plays at Pekin (4-1, LIBRIUM samples, 3-1) Friday.
• The Mount Pleasant boys bounced back with a big win. The Panthers blew a 14-point lead to decent Cedar Rapids Prairie team, losing on a shot at the buzzer, buying LIBRIUM online over the counter. For a team low on experience, LIBRIUM images, Friday's 20-point blowout of previously unbeaten Keokuk was the antidote. With the win, the Panthers regain some swagger in the Southeast Conference, but the league is improved overall from last year, LIBRIUM FOR SALE.
• Van Buren made its case to be the best girls team in southeast Iowa. With all due respect to No. 8 Mediapolis, LIBRIUM overnight, which is off to a great start (6-0), Online buying LIBRIUM hcl, the 12th-ranked Warriors have beaten both Notre Dame and Central Lee on the road in the tough South Division. Friday's win at Central Lee was huge; the Warriors trailed the entire game before all the big names stepped up in the fourth quarter of a 52-48 win. It will be hard to catch the Warriors this season; teams will have to beat them on their home court, purchase LIBRIUM online no prescription. LIBRIUM FOR SALE, It's doable, but not likely.
• Mediapolis can have its say Friday. The Bullettes continue to play great defense (eighth in 2A in scoring differential at 34 points per game), but it can lay claim to at least being in the conversation of best team in the area if they can win at Pekin Friday. The winner has the inside track to the championship game of the SEI Superconference Shootout in February. This Mediapolis' first true road test, and last year it suffered a 22-point loss in Packwood.
Spotlight games (Friday games, since this is a day late)
• No. 8 Mediapolis at Pekin. The importance can't be understated, LIBRIUM FOR SALE. Yes, there is plenty of season left, but the winner will be on its way to the division title. The Bullettes caught a huge break with the Panthers' bad loss at home to Columbus Tuesday. If Mepo can win, it will have at least a two-game lead on everyone in the division. Mediapolis allows just 26.5 points per game. LIBRIUM FOR SALE, The first one to 40 might win this one.
• No. 12 Notre Dame at Central Lee. Another big litmus-test game for the Nikes, who hung 100 on Harmony Tuesday. Notre Dame hasn't played a quality opponent on the road since the season-opener at West Burlington, and the Lady Falcons are improving. The Nikes will be out-sized in the paint again with Central Lee's Taylor Burdette and Jada Mathison in the lane, but Notre Dame must play with the poise it showed against Cardinal. It was proof the Nikes can play at a fast-pace without playing reckless, LIBRIUM FOR SALE. Both teams play aggressive defense.
• Burlington at Davenport North. Not necessarily much on the line here, but more to see if the Grayhounds can win on the road, or at least play better. North hasn't won a game this season.
• Mediapolis at Pekin. This week could be the biggest separation week of the season in the North Division, and this is one of the two games (IMS at Lone Tree) that could seperate the contenders from pretenders. Mediapolis needs this one after losing at home last week, and this would be a huge pick-me-up game to stay in the division hunt. I don't think Mediapolis is a pretender per se, but in a division that has four strong teams, teams need to beat each other whenever possible. This is one of those moments.

When Ronnie Montrose passed away on March 3rd, 2012, friends and musicians immediately wondered what they could do to pay homage to one of rock's all-time legendary and influential guitarists. The result was some of music's most renowned artists uniting for a concert only a month and a half later (April 27th) and performing Ronnie classics throughout the evening, which will now make its official DVD release on December 10th, 2013, Concert for Ronnie Montrose – A Celebration of His Life In Music.
Recorded in San Francisco at the historic Regency Ballroom and mixed in 5.1surround sound, the DVD features performance by Ronnie's past band members in
Montrose (Sammy Hagar, Denny Carmassi, Bill Church with Joe Satriani), Gamma (Davey Pattison, Denny Carmassi and Glenn Letsch with Marc Bonilla), performing both groups' hits.
Additionally, Ronnie's colleagues and people he mentored and produced over the 40 years of his career are featured as well, including Neal Schon (Journey), Ricky Phillips (Styx), Steve Smith (ex-Journey), Ed Roth, Jimmy Paxson (Stevie Nicks), Jeff Watson (ex-Night Ranger), Tesla, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer (Kiss), Eric Martin (Mr. Big), and more.
The DVD will also include interviews, bonus features, a photo gallery, and an additional set of Ronnie's hits by an all-star band featuring Chuck Terpo,
Mario Cipollina, Tal Morris, Dave Meniketti and the members of Y&T. This was recorded and filmed at Bob Weir's TRI Studios.
Read the rest via Eddie Trunk "CONCERT FOR RONNIE MONTROSE-A CELEBRATION OF HIS LIFE IN MUSIC" TO BE RELEASED ON DVD DECEMBER 10TH.

Mom Facts
The greatest thing about being a parent is that up until the age of 13, your kids take every word you say as gospel. Granted, this does tend to bite you in the ass when the information is shared on the playground.
My 9 year old: "Tiger Woods is probably gonna die soon from a disease you can get from having too many girlfriends."
Other 9 year old: "How do you know?"
My 9 year old : "My mom told me."
Listen. It's not totally out of the question.
Anyway. So this morning we had the following dialogue regarding nutrition:
Her: "Is the sugar in fruit just as bad as the sugar in candy?"
Me: "No. Your body uses fruit sugar for energy but stores bad sugar like bread as fat."
Her: "You mean your body puts the bread right in your butt?"
Me: '"Exactly."
Her: "That's mean..."
Me: "It IS mean."
Her: "Can you ever get it out?"
Me:" If you stop eating bad sugar it'll go away. Or you can have an operation."
Her: "There's an operation to get the bread out of your butt?"
Me: "Yes."
Her: "Do they just cut it off?"
Me: "No. They vacuum it out."
Her:" Does it hurt to vacuum bread out of your butt?"
Me: "Yes. "
Her: "But not as much as having a baby right?"
Me: "Nothing hurts as much as having a baby. That's why women are actually stronger than men."
Her: "I'm never having a baby."
Me: "Well you don't have to."
Her: "On 'Glee', Quinn said Puck made her pregnant...how does a boy make a girl pregnant?"
Me: "He can't unless the girl wants to be pregnant and they get permission from God."
Mom Facts. Because We Said So.

By Sarah de Sainte Croix, Senior Contributing Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The semi-public Brazilian energy corporation headquartered in Rio, Petrobras, looks set to welcome their first female CEO in the coming weeks. Maria das Graças Silva Foster has been selected to replace the outgoing José Sérgio Gabrielli at the largest company in Latin America by revenue, which is 54 percent owned by the Brazilian government.
According to a report in Jornal do Brasil, Graças Foster, who has been the company's Gas and Energy director since 2007, was hand-picked for the job by President Dilma Rousseff.
The pair are reported to have become friends while working together at the Ministry for Mines and Energy between 2003 and 2006, where Foster is said to have gained Rousseff's confidence.
The thrice married, mother-of-two is renowned for her no-nonsense, results based approach. She holds a degree in chemical engineering, a master's degree in nuclear engineering, and an MBA in economics from the Getulio Vargas Foundation.
But despite the string of letters after her name and the glowing references from the president herself, hers is something of a rags to riches tale.
She was born and raised in the Morro do Adeus favela, now part of the Complexo Alemão, which was until recently one of Rio's biggest and most dangerous slums. She went to work at the age of eight collecting cardboard, glass bottles and aluminum cans which she sold to raise money to pay for her school books.
In an interview with the Brazilian financial newspaper, Valor Econômico, Foster credits her mother as her biggest motivation. Showing a flash of typical Brazilian affection, at odds with the fearsome figure she cuts in the boardroom, she gushes, "My mother is the most beautiful thing, the cutest thing there is, she's tiny, she's my flower."
Alongside President Rousseff and fellow Brazilian, Gisele Bündchen, (who both made it into Forbes' "World's 100 Most Powerful Women" list last year), Graças Foster will join a growing group of women who look set to overcome Brazil's gender disparity over the coming years.
According to a study by the Ethos Institute and IBOPE, in 2010 just 13.7 percent of executives in Brazil's 500 biggest companies were female, and though the figures are trending in a more equal direction (up from six percent in 2001), there is still a long way to go.
Speaking in a Valor video interview, Foster said, "[Women] have to be prepared to go to work in these companies, [we] have to enter into the market. The market is ready … for talent, competence and education."
Jaques Wagner, State Governer for Bahia, confirmed on Monday that he had invited Petrobras' outgoing CEO, José Sergio Gabrielli, to join his political team in the north-west of Brazil, stoking rumors that Gabrielli is being primed to succeed him as Governor in 2014.
The country's Finance Minister and President of Petrobras' Board of Directors, Guido Mantega, announced Foster's candidacy for CEO on Friday, adding that the application will be officially presented to the board for approval on February 9th.

ECU completes Pirate Snow Classic with perfect 3-0 record
Seton Hall Box Score |Drexel Box Score | Tournament Central
GREENVILLE, NC Feb. 16, 2014 – The East Carolina softball team used a potent offense to defeat Seton Hall, 11-6, and Drexel, 14-1, on the final day of the Pirate Snow Classic Sunday evening at the ECU Softball Stadium.
Over the course of the two games, East Carolina (5-3) pounded out 27 hits and scored 25 runs and have now won four of its last five games.
In their first game of the day, the Pirates jumped out to a 7-0 lead over Seton Hall (3-4) after two innings of action and never looked back. Junior Gabby Andino and seniors Chelsea Kaluhiokalani-Glackin and Kristi Oshiro each had three hits in the game, as senior Alex Fieldhouse went 2-for-5 with four RBI and three runs scored. Redshirt junior Abby Wynne was just 1-for-1 at the plate, but drew four walks and scored three times. ECU recorded 14 hits in all.
Andino made her first-career start in the circle for East Carolina and hurled three scoreless innings, before surrendering four runs and being chased from her outing with one out in the fourth. Freshman Lydia Ritchie (1-1) fired three shutout frames and allowed just three hits while walking none to close out the game and earn her first victory.
Against Drexel (0-4) in the final game of the day, the Pirate offense exhibited no signs of letting up, as the Pirates hammered out 13 more hits from 11 different players. Andino led the way going 2-for-2 with a career-high four RBI, as freshman Alex Mycek also went 2-for-2 off the bench with three RBI. Oshiro had a team-high three runs scored and extended her hitting streak to six-straight games, while Kaluhiokalani-Glackin, Shelby Johnson and Wynne scored two runs apiece.
Junior pitcher Sarah Christian (3-1) threw five innings of two-hit ball, allowing 1 unearned run and one walk while striking out five.
East Carolina will return to action when it heads to the Diamond 9 Citrus Classic in Kissimmee, Fla., at ESPN's Wide World of Sports. Play begins Friday, Feb. 21, when the Pirates face Albany at 3:30 p.m., before taking on nationally-ranked South Alabama at 5:45 p.m., on ESPN3.

Martha Kash, 80, of Colo, Iowa, and formerly of Emington, went home to be with the Lord on Friday, Dec. 14, 2012, at St. Mary's Hospital in Tucson, Ariz., after a short illness.
A memorial service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 16, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Colo, Iowa, with Father Rick Dagit officiating.
Burial will be in St. James Catholic Cemetery, also in Colo.
Friends may call from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, March 15, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Colo. A vigil service will be held at 7 p.m. at the church. Chet Ryan Mortuary in Nevada, Iowa, has charge of arrangements.
Martha was born on Dec. 22, 1931, in Colo, Iowa, the daughter of Roger and Veva (Ray) Hopkins. Martha spent her childhood in Colo and graduated from Colo High School in 1949. She attended Iowa State University in Ames, was a member of the Delta Zeta Sorority and graduated in 1952 with a degree in home economics.

|[Gentoo Linux Home] [GLEP Index] [GLEP Source]
|GLEP Purpose and Guidelines
|2004/04/04 23:05:35

The GLEP concept, and, in fact, much of the text of this document, is liberally stolen from Python's [1] PEPs [2], especially PEP-0001 [3] by Barry A. Warsaw, Jeremy Hylton, and David Goodger.
GLEP stands for "Gentoo Linux Enhancement Proposal". A GLEP is a design document providing information to the Gentoo Linux community, or describing a new feature for Gentoo Linux. The GLEP should provide a concise technical specification of the feature and rationale for the feature.
We intend GLEPs to be the primary mechanisms for proposing significant new features, for collecting community input on an issue, and for documenting the design decisions that have gone into Gentoo Linux. The GLEP author is responsible for building consensus within the community and documenting dissenting opinions.
Because the GLEPs are maintained as text files under CVS control, their revision history is the historical record of the feature proposal [4].
There are two kinds of GLEPs. A Standards Track GLEP describes a new feature or implementation for Gentoo Linux. An Informational GLEP describes provides general guidelines or information to the Gentoo Linux community, but does not propose a new feature. Informational GLEPs do not necessarily represent a Gentoo Linux community consensus or recommendation, so users and implementors are free to ignore Informational GLEPs or follow their advice.
The GLEP editors assign GLEP numbers and change their status. The current GLEP editors are Grant Goodyear and Alastair Tse. Please send all GLEP-related email to <email@example.com>.
The GLEP process begins with a new idea for Gentoo Linux. It is highly recommended that a single GLEP contain a single key proposal or new idea. The more focussed the GLEP, the more successful it tends to be. The GLEP editors reserve the right to reject GLEP proposals if they appear too unfocussed or too broad. If in doubt, split your GLEP into several well-focussed ones.
Each GLEP must have a champion -- someone who writes the GLEP using the style and format described below, shepherds the discussions in the appropriate forums, and attempts to build community consensus around the idea. The GLEP champion (a.k.a. Author) should first attempt to ascertain whether the idea is GLEP-able. Small enhancements or patches often don't need a GLEP and can be injected into the Gentoo Linux development work flow with an enhancement "bug" submitted to the Gentoo Linux bugzilla [6].
The GLEP champion then emails the GLEP editors <firstname.lastname@example.com> with a proposed title and a rough, but fleshed out, draft of the GLEP. This draft must be written in GLEP style as described below.
If the GLEP editor accepts the GLEP, he will assign the GLEP a number, label it as Standards Track (a better name would be nice here -- suggestions?) or Informational, give it status "Draft", and create and check-in the initial draft of the GLEP. The GLEP editors will not unreasonably deny a GLEP. Reasons for denying GLEP status include duplication of effort, being technically unsound, not providing proper motivation or addressing backwards compatibility, or not in keeping with Gentoo Linux philosophy.
If a pre-GLEP is rejected, the author may elect to take the pre-GLEP to the email@example.com mailing list to help flesh it out, gain feedback and consensus from the community at large, and improve the GLEP for re-submission.
The author of the GLEP is then responsible for posting the GLEP to the gentoo-dev mailing list and to the Gentoo Linux forums [7], and marshaling community support for it. As updates are necessary, the GLEP author can check in new versions if they have CVS commit permissions, or can email new GLEP versions to the GLEP editors for committing.
Standards Track GLEPs consist of two parts, a design document and a reference implementation. The GLEP should be reviewed and accepted before a reference implementation is begun, unless a reference implementation will aid people in studying the GLEP. Standards Track GLEPs must include an implementation -- in the form of code, patch, or URL to same -- before it can be considered Final.
GLEP authors are responsible for collecting community feedback on a GLEP before submitting it for review. A GLEP that has not been discussed on email@example.com and/or the Gentoo Linux forums [7] will not be accepted. However, wherever possible, long open-ended discussions on public mailing lists should be avoided. Strategies to keep the discussions efficient include setting up a specific forums thread for the topic, having the GLEP author accept private comments in the early design phases, etc. GLEP authors should use their discretion here.
Once the authors have completed a GLEP, they must inform the GLEP editors that it is ready for review. GLEPs are reviewed by the appropriate Gentoo Manager [8], who may approve or reject a GLEP outright, or send it back to the author(s) for revision. For a GLEP that is pre-determined to be approvable (e.g., it is an obvious win as-is and/or its implementation has already been checked in) the appropriate Gentoo Manager [8] may also initiate a GLEP review, first notifying the GLEP author(s) and giving them a chance to make revisions.
For a GLEP to be approved it must meet certain minimum criteria. It must be a clear and complete description of the proposed enhancement. The enhancement must represent a net improvement. The proposed implementation, if applicable, must be solid and must not complicate the distribution unduly. Finally, a proposed enhancement must satisfy the philosophy of Gentoo Linux.
Once a GLEP has been accepted, the reference implementation must be completed. When the reference implementation is complete and accepted, the status will be changed to "Final".
A GLEP can also be assigned status "Deferred". The GLEP author or editor can assign the GLEP this status when no progress is being made on the GLEP. Once a GLEP is deferred, the GLEP editor can re-assign it to draft status.
A GLEP can also be "Rejected". Perhaps after all is said and done it was not a good idea. It is still important to have a record of this fact.
GLEPs can also be replaced by a different GLEP, rendering the original obsolete (where version 2 of a policy, for example, might replace version 1).
GLEP work flow is as follows:
Draft -> Accepted -> Final -> Replaced ^ +----> Rejected v Deferred
Some Informational GLEPs may also have a status of "Active" if they are never meant to be completed. E.g. GLEP 1 (this GLEP).
Each GLEP should have the following parts:
Preamble -- RFC 822 style headers containing meta-data about the GLEP, including the GLEP number, a short descriptive title (limited to a maximum of 44 characters), the names, and optionally the contact info for each author, etc.
Abstract -- a short (~200 word) description of the technical issue being addressed.
Motivation -- The motivation is critical for GLEPs that want to modify Gentoo Linux functionality. It should clearly explain why the existing functionality or policy is inadequate to address the problem that the GLEP solves. GLEP submissions without sufficient motivation may be rejected outright.
Specification -- The technical specification should describe the specific areas of Gentoo Linux that would be touched by this GLEP. If new functionality is being introduced, what packages will that functionality affect? If new policy, who will be affected?
Rationale -- The rationale fleshes out the specification by describing what motivated the design and why particular design decisions were made. It should describe alternate designs that were considered and related work, e.g. how the feature is supported in other distributions.
The rationale should provide evidence of consensus within the community and discuss important objections or concerns raised during discussion.
Backwards Compatibility -- All GLEPs must include a section describing any issues of backwards incompatibilities and their severity. The GLEP must explain how the author proposes to deal with these incompatibilities. (Even if there are none, this section should be included to clearly state that fact.) GLEP submissions without a sufficient backwards compatibility treatise may be rejected outright.
Reference Implementation -- The reference implementation must be completed before any GLEP is given status "Final", but it need not be completed before the GLEP is accepted. It is better to finish the specification and rationale first and reach consensus on it before writing code or significantly modifying ebuilds.
Copyright/public domain -- Each GLEP must either be explicitly labelled as placed in the public domain (see this GLEP as an example) or licensed under the Open Publication License [#OPL].
GLEPs are written either in Gentoo Linux Guide-XML [11] or in a just-barely-marked-up version of plain ASCII text called ReStructuredText [10] that is then converted to HTML using Docutils [12]. Using ReStructuredText GLEPs allows for rich markup that is still quite easy to read, but results in much better-looking and more functional HTML. Moreover, it should be straightforward to convert GLEPs to Gentoo Linux guide xml [11] if needed. GLEP 2 contains a boilerplate template [5] for use with ReStructuredText GLEPs.
Each GLEP must begin with an RFC 2822 style header preamble. The headers must appear in the following order. Headers marked with "*" are optional and are described below. All other headers are required.
GLEP: <glep number> Title: <glep title> Version: <cvs version string> Last-Modified: <cvs date string> Author: <list of authors' real names and optionally, email addrs> * Discussions-To: <email address> Status: <Draft | Active | Accepted | Deferred | Rejected | Final | Replaced> Type: <Informational | Standards Track> * Content-Type: <text/plain | text/x-rst> * Requires: <glep numbers> Created: <date created on, in dd-mmm-yyyy format> Post-History: <dates of postings to gentoo-dev> * Replaces: <glep number> * Replaced-By: <glep number>
The Author header lists the names, and optionally the email addresses of all the authors/owners of the GLEP. The format of the Author header value must be
Random J. User <email@example.com>
if the email address is included, and just
Random J. User
if the address is not given.
If there are multiple authors, each should be on a separate line following RFC 2822 continuation line conventions. Note that personal email addresses in GLEPs will be obscured as a defense against spam harvesters.
While a GLEP is in private discussions (usually during the initial Draft phase), a Discussions-To header will indicate the mailing list or URL where the GLEP is being discussed. No Discussions-To header is necessary if the GLEP is being discussed privately with the author, or on the gentoo-dev mailing list. Note that email addresses in the Discussions-To header will not be obscured.
The Type header specifies the type of GLEP: Informational or Standards Track.
The format of a GLEP is specified with a Content-Type header, which should read "text/xml" for Gentoo Guide XML or "text/x-rst" for ReStructuredText GLEPs (see GLEP 2 [5]).
The Created header records the date that the GLEP was assigned a number, while Post-History is used to record the dates of when new versions of the GLEP are posted to gentoo-dev. Both headers should be in dd-mmm-yyyy format, e.g. 14-Aug-2001.
GLEPs may have a Requires header, indicating the GLEP numbers that this GLEP depends on.
GLEPs may also have a Replaced-By header indicating that a GLEP has been rendered obsolete by a later document; the value is the number of the GLEP that replaces the current document. The newer GLEP must have a Replaces header containing the number of the GLEP that it rendered obsolete.
How you report a bug, or submit a GLEP update depends on several factors, such as the maturity of the GLEP, the preferences of the GLEP author, and the nature of your comments. For the early draft stages of the GLEP, it's probably best to send your comments and changes directly to the GLEP author. For more mature, or finished GLEPs you may want to submit corrections to the Gentoo Linux bugzilla [6] so that your changes don't get lost. If the GLEP author is a Gentoo Linux developer, assign the bug/patch to him, otherwise assign it to the GLEP editors.
When in doubt about where to send your changes, please check first with the GLEP author and/or GLEP editors.
GLEP authors who are also Gentoo Linux developers can update the GLEPs themselves by using "cvs commit" to commit their changes.
It occasionally becomes necessary to transfer ownership of GLEPs to a new champion. In general, we'd like to retain the original author as a co-author of the transferred GLEP, but that's really up to the original author. A good reason to transfer ownership is because the original author no longer has the time or interest in updating it or following through with the GLEP process, or has fallen off the face of the 'net (i.e. is unreachable or not responding to email). A bad reason to transfer ownership is because you don't agree with the direction of the GLEP. We try to build consensus around a GLEP, but if that's not possible, you can always submit a competing GLEP.
If you are interested in assuming ownership of a GLEP, send a message asking to take over, addressed to both the original author and the GLEP editors <email@example.com>. If the original author doesn't respond to email in a timely manner, the GLEP editors will make a unilateral decision (it's not like such decisions can't be reversed :).

The Deep South Fruit and Vegetable Growers Conference and Trade Show will be held at the Riverview Plaza Hotel in Mobile, Ala., Dec. 3-4.
The annual multistate meeting draws crowds from Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas and Mississippi with an expected attendance of more than 500 people, according to LSU AgCenter horticulturist James Boudreaux.
The event includes presentations and a trade show with more than 40 vendors exhibiting the latest products and equipment in fruit and vegetable production.
One of the highlighted sessions, "Solutions to Some of the Important Problems in Farming," addresses labor, transportation and insurance concerns.
Other concurrent sessions cover blueberry, vegetable, peach, citrus and organics production, plus agritourism businesses.
"A program on how to get started in the fruit and vegetable business is a must for new growers," Boudreaux said.
Sessions feature speakers from universities with large research programs.
"These speakers provide valuable insight into the direction of the produce industry in other states in addition to the latest findings from their research programs," Boudreaux said.
Growers attending the meeting not only will hear the latest production information, they also will get to visit with growers from different states and to meet the research and Extension people from various universities.
"The meeting is a winning situation for all who attend," Boudreaux said. "If a grower comes away with just one new idea that improves his yields or sales, the expense of the trip is well-justified."
Registration is $105. A registration form is available at the Deep South Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association Web site: http://www.deepsouthfruitveg.com. Updated agendas and general conference information also are at the site.
Additional general conference information is available from Mississippi State University professor John Braswell, at (601) 403-3939 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
For exhibitor information, contact Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce administrators Paige Manning, at (601) 359-1163 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or Guy Feltenstein, at (601) 692-7804 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

It is a testament to Leonard Nimoy's great artistry that Mr. Spock of "Star Trek" remains one of the indelible TV characters.
The series lasted just three seasons, 1966 to 1969, on NBC, but it has inspired millions through reruns, spinoffs and a string of entertaining movies. The brilliant Spock has been a major part of the "Trek" appeal for nearly 50 years.
Let us talk cultural icons, people. Spock is one, thanks to Nimoy's controlled, mesmerizing performance. Nimoy did boldly go where no actor had gone before -- and kept going there with remarkable success.
The New York Times reported Friday that Nimoy had died at 83 and quoted his...

NEW YORK (AP) — From the earnest explanation of why Gary the Snail is her favorite "SpongeBob SquarePants" character to the name-check of rapper Lil Wayne, Victoria Duval made quite clear she is very much a 17-year-old kid.
NEW YORK (AP) — From the earnest explanation of why Gary the Snail is her favorite "SpongeBob SquarePants" character to the name-check of rapper Lil Wayne, Victoria Duval made quite clear she is very much a 17-year-old kid.
One who just so happened to stun 2011 champion Sam Stosur in the first round of the U.S. Open.
Overcoming the sort of nerves that derive from never before having played this highly ranked an opponent — let alone beaten one — and never before having won a match at a Grand Slam tournament, Duval hopped up and down with arms overhead after pulling off her big surprise at Flushing Meadows, a 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 victory over the 11th-seeded Stosur.
"I don't even remember match point," the 296th-ranked American said Tuesday night, less than two hours after closing out Stosur with a forehand winner. "I guess I was really happy. I mean, you could tell by all the jumping I did."
She wore a white towel around her neck, giggled at her own squeaky-voiced answers, and genuinely seemed to be enjoying the whole experience during a news conference that was a meandering affair, befitting Duval's bubbly personality — and the long, unique journey that brought her to this point.
Duval, currently based in Bradenton, Fla., was born in Florida, but grew up in her parents' home country of Haiti. She said that when she was 7, she and some cousins were taken hostage there by robbers.
"It's not a good memory, so I've tried to forget as much as I could about it," Duval said when the subject was raised. "I don't remember too much of it anymore, which is great."
Then, in 2010, when Haiti was rocked by an earthquake, her father was buried in rubble and badly injured, Duval said.
"There's a lot to be thankful for. I don't take anything for granted. ... My Dad is really fortunate to be here," she told the Louis Armstrong Stadium crowd during an on-court interview.
Duval, who needed to go through qualifying to get into the U.S. Open because her ranking is so low, joined eight other American women in the second round of the main draw. Tuesday also was a good day for American men, who went 5-2, led by No. 13 John Isner and No. 26 Sam Querrey.
"We're obviously trying to make American tennis become what it used to be," Duval said. "We're all working toward the same goal. We're all a tight-knit group. Helping each other is important. I think we're on an amazing path."
The first American to play Wednesday was CoCo Vandeweghe, who dropped her second-round match 6-3, 6-4, to 18th-seeded Carla Suarez Navarro. Others on the schedule included past champions Serena and Venus Williams, 15th-seeded Sloane Stephens, 23rd-seeded Jamie Hampton, and 33-year-old James Blake, who announced the U.S. Open will be the last tournament of his career. Also on the schedule: Andy Murray, the defending men's champion who added a Wimbledon championship last month.
In other early matches Wednesday, No. 3 seed Agnieszka Radwanska and No. 5 Li Na advanced to the third round with straight-set victories.
Until Tuesday, Duval did not own a victory over anyone ranked higher than 69th. She had not faced a woman in the top 20. She only had played one match at a major tournament, a first-round loss to Kim Clijsters at last year's U.S. Open (which turned out to be the final singles victory of the Belgian's career).
Stosur was unhappy with the way she played Tuesday, including 10 double-faults and a total of 56 unforced errors, 21 more than Duval.
"I'm not going to be a sore loser and say she didn't do anything," said Stosur, an Australian. "But, you know, I think I certainly helped her out there today, that's for sure."
Perhaps. But Duval's game also has benefited from time spent in heady company recently, including mentoring from Billie Jean King and tips from famed tennis coach Nick Bolletieri.
"We have a great relationship," Duval said. "I call him Uncle Nick."
Seconding Stosur's assessment, Duval summed up their match this way: "Although she didn't play nearly her best today, I played amazing, so I'll take it."
And why shouldn't she? We've seen this sort of thing before, and rather recently: In 2009, another 17-year-old American, Melanie Oudin, made it all the way to the quarterfinals in New York by upsetting a series of seeded players, including past champion Maria Sharapova. This year, Oudin lost in U.S. Open qualifying.
Next for Duval, who wears white-framed eyeglasses and a visor on court, is a matchup against Daniela Hantuchova, who has been ranked as high as No. 5 and been a Grand Slam quarterfinalist.
But for an evening, anyway, Duval wanted to relish the biggest win of her nascent career.
And the kid sure seemed to be having a grand ol' time speaking to reporters, describing herself as "very goofy off the court" and "a child at heart."
So it made sense that when the subject of the "SpongeBob" cartoon series came up during her media session, she pointed out that "Gary's cute; Gary doesn't get enough credit."
And she brought this up, too: "I heard that Lil Wayne tweeted me. I need to go check that out. I don't have Twitter. I'm going to go hit that up."

AUA Submits Statement on Saw Palmetto
In response to a request from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the AUA prepared a written statement specifying its position on food supplements containing saw palmetto. The FDA is currently fighting a lawsuit filed by makers of the saw palmetto supplement.
Comments and Testimony
/ American Urological Association
Statement to the United States Food and Drug Administration
The American Urological Association (AUA) representing 9,500 urologists in the United States appreciates the opportunity to present its views on the issues of food supplements containing saw palmetto. The AUA wishes to emphasize, once again, in the strongest possible terms that lower urinary tract symptoms in older men (urinary frequency, urinary urgency, slowing of the urinary stream, hesitation on initiation of urination and rising at night to void multiple times) are often due to diseases of the genitourinary system. They are usually NOT a normal phenomenon of aging. The AUA is deeply concerned that food supplements containing saw palmetto currently being offered to maintain prostate health, to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or to alleviate lower urinary tract symptoms could be very misleading to the public. Life-threatening cancers (cancer of the prostate and cancer of the urinary bladder) can cause lower urinary tract symptoms. The AUA is concerned that men experiencing such symptoms may self-medicate with food supplements containing saw palmetto, thus, delaying the timely and proper diagnosis of their cancers. The AUA is concerned that the package inserts accompanying these supplements, no matter what admonitions they might contain, are infrequently read by the user or, if read, are ignored or misunderstood.
The AUA is also concerned about the safety of food supplements containing saw palmetto for lower urinary tract symptoms. Most products currently being marketed in the United States for lower urinary tract symptoms and BPH are combinations of multiple ingredients. Each product is often different from the other. The various multiple components could differ within each individual product.
The AUA very strongly believes that each of these products marketed for lower urinary tract symptoms and BPH should be individually tested for safety given that each product could be different. Further, the AUA believes that each product should be tested for possible drug interactions with the wide variety of prescription medications (anti-hypertensives, anti-diabetics, mood-altering drugs, cardiac medications and other pharmacological agents), which are so commonly being taken by older men. Such testing and study could insure that a specific saw palmetto containing food supplement product poses no serious threat of adverse drug reactions when taken with other pharmacological agents. The AUA believes that there currently exists inadequate medical data ruling out possible serious interactions.
In a randomized, placebo-controlled, six-month study of 44 men with lower urinary tract symptoms and an enlarged prostate gland upon digital rectal examination, Marks and coworkers [1] reported no adverse events in his cohort of patients taking the herbal product containing saw palmetto, which was under study. However, an entry criteria into the study was that the men "be in good general and mental health." No data were given about the prescription medications those men on the herbal compound containing saw palmetto might have been taking at the time of the study. Thus, no data regarding prescription drug interaction can be gleaned from this small study since the men in this study were in good health and might not have been taking any such prescription medications.
Our Association believes it is inappropriate to cite the safety data on pure saw palmetto products currently marketed in Europe (such as Permixon not currently available in the United States) as proof of the safety of the mixed products containing saw palmetto being marketed in the United States. Permixon and the United States mixed products containing saw palmetto are not comparable, thus, making safety extrapolations scientifically invalid.
The mission of the American Urological Association through its members is to provide the highest quality of care to patients with genitourinary disease. In pursuit of this mission, the AUA continually maintains an open mind. However, the American Urological Association strongly believes that food supplements containing saw palmetto marketed for the alleviation of lower urinary tract symptoms, the treatment of BPH, and for the maintenance of prostate health should be controlled by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and held to the same standard as are all other pharmacological agents intended to treat disease.
Should proper studies confirm the safety and efficacy of food supplements containing saw palmetto, the AUA would welcome their addition to the armamentarium of American physicians treating men with lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign disease.
The American Urological Association strongly urges the Food and Drug Administration to control food supplements containing saw palmetto marketed to alleviate lower urinary tract symptoms, to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia or to maintain prostatic health. Proper clinical trials can resolve safety and efficacy issues. It is our understanding that the National Institutes of Health is actively considering setting in place clinical trials on saw palmetto and food supplement products in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms and benign prostatic hyperplasia. The American Urological Association applauds the concept of such studies and anxiously awaits their outcome.

It must be particularly gratifying when the multi-thousand dollar bag on your arm bears your own name. Here's Victoria Beckham, or as I like to call her (without her knowledge or consent), Vicky B., ducking out of a promotional pit stop at the Neiman Marcus flagship in Dallas, TX. That ginormous salmon pink bag she's showcasing runway model-style on her way to the waiting chauffeured limo? That, my friends, is the Victoria Beckham Suede Shopping Tote.
Victoria was in Dallas pimping her latest line, and in my head, the crowd consisted of the entire cast of "Big Rich Texas", and assorted Spice Girls fans. Have you seen that show? It's awful. And not sublimely awful, in a "Real Housewives" or a "Spice World" kind of way; just regular awful. Victoria Beckham's fashion line, however, is quite nice, and it gets the coveted PurseBlog stamp of approval, regardless of whatever positive or negative feelings her tour audiences may have. (Though I encourage Texans of the non-"Big"-and-"Rich" variety to weigh in nonetheless - you're surely a lot more chic than your reality TV counterparts!)
