1.0.4 + ThinkPad 560Z: (xf86_svga; cs4237B; DWL-650) working
Great job, Barry, bladehunter, bruce b., et al.! Took me some time, but I got my old Thinkpad 560z up w/ everything running. Thanks for the great distro.
It's much faster than when it had Win98 on it 6 years ago, and don't even talk about Win2K for the last couple of years.
Hard parts:
did not work. Neither did the framebuffer package (could read everything, but color scheme was seriously whacked). Luckily, I have some working machines to research the forums! Basically, set video on install to 800x600x24 -- this produces a barely (to be generous) readable screen. Then, reading menus by feel, PupGet the xf86_svga-3.3.6 xserver. Modify /etc/X11/XF86Config as explained in:
(Using the large-font rxvt makes the terminal pretty readable.)
cs4237B chip
Uses cs4232 OSS driver
added to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
modprobe cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0
Hard drive install

[For newbies, like me, a
help page for Grub:
Some very good posts by Bruce B. helped, along with Barry's original two pages on HD install. (New method won't work w/o a CD drive -- would be great to change the script to allow HD file instead of CD as source of puppy files. I know I could mount the iso directly somehow, but ...) Install turns out not the be so hard (after many, many attempts). The big thing was, I started testing puppy using a boot disk and HD files (no CD drive and unbootable USB) and wanted to keep using the pupxxx file that I had been testing with. But the fresh "install" (i.e., the first time running GRUB off the hard drive rather than booting from CD) wanted to create a new pupxxx file, and gagged if I tried to install on the partition that had the original pupxxx, vmlinuz, image.gz and usr_cram.fs files on it.
Solution (and forgive me if this was already on-line and I missed it) was to have the GRUB statement reference the previously created pupxxx file. I put pupxxx, vmlinuz, image.gz and usr_cram.fs on the same partition (in my case, vfat partition).
Relevant menu.lst portion is:
title Puppy Linux
root (hd0,3)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 PFILE=pup080-none-524288 PHOME=hda4
initrd /image.gz
The size referenced in the PFILE definition does not matter -- if you have resized pupxxx, the new size will be recognized. (And if you don't care about keeping your pupxxx file, of course, you can just delete it from the install partition and another pupxxx will be created.)
This gives us a "Type 1" install, with filesystem changes saved to pupxxx on hda4, a vfat partition (I made it vfat so that windows could see it should I try to get my Win2k partition up again).
My partition table (as revealed by fdisk):
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 130 982768+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 278 832 4195800 5 Extended
/dev/hda3 131 165 264600 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda4 166 277 846720 b W95 FAT32
/dev/hda5 278 832 4195768+ b W95 FAT32
Probably not the way you would draw it up from scratch
, but I wanted to keep the original /dev/hda5 Windows partition, which had some executables and data I wanted to save.
Other issue is that GRUB will not install easily to anything but a linux filesystem partition, so I created a 1M ext3 partition (hda1) for my /boot/grub folder. Figure I can put another distro on it sometime if I like. I made my puppy vfat partition 850M to give me plenty of room to install packages (tho' that may defeat the purpose of puppy...)
PCMCIA wireless
Used bladehunter's wifi-beta.pup
My experience (which was great) is described here:
All in all, a good time! Thanks, everyone.

Post subject: Puppy extends life
Welcome to the kennels.
Will some kind Puppy add this to the wiki? (let us know if you do please)
It is suddenly very obvious that the reason laptop battery life is poor is due to Operating System design. Run in ram - not much hard disk activity. Not much HD activity = extended life (someone pointed this out recently and it was a Eureaka moment).
Everyway you look at it Puppy is right. Am I right or am I (write?)
Thank you for letting the future Lap-Puppys into . . .
. . . well FUN time for all

Post subject: RAM and batteries
You are so right about RAM and battery life.
I remember when the first portable MP3 CD players came out in the US (way back...) in 2000. I had a Genica MPTrip. Had about the same buffer time as the then-current non-MP3 CD players (1 min?) and the battery life was no good. Then some genius thought to add a little RAM, the buffer time (given the already small size of MP3 files) was extended by many, many minutes (so, much less CD access), and playing time skyrocketed (from 3 to 20 hours?).
With RAM running about $30-40 for 512MB, the same thing makes sense for laptops (and desktops, for that matter). Of course, I can't imagine waiting while all of WinXP (or the new Win standing tall) loads to RAM. Plus you would need 4GB to boot the monster.
Puppy, the wave of the future. (And, on my TP 560z, the wave of the past...)

President Mahama calls on people of Bawku to bury their differences
President John Dramani Mahama has called on the people of Bawku to bury their differences and forge ahead and pave way for the initiation of massive development projects in the coming years.
He said: "Your continuous engagement in conflicts and other forms of misunderstanding will not only stall the development progress of the area, but will also stifle all government initiatives that could accelerate growth and development."
President Mahama made this call on Monday when he addressed a rally at Bawku as part of his three-day campaign tour of the Upper East Region.
The president also addressed similar rallies at Garu, Tempane, Worinyanga, Pusiga, Binduri, Zebilla and Bolgatanga; where he outlined government's development plans for the next four years.
He said conflicts were destructive and retrogressive and advised the people to ignore it and consider themselves as one people with a common destiny that could propel them to achieve their development aspirations.
The President said there was no difference between Mamprusis and Kusasis in their daily endeavours and should therefore not perpetuate conflicts that could undermine peace and unity.
Mr Mark Woyongo, Upper East Regional Minister appealed to the electorate to avoid voting 'skirt and blouse' as that could be tantamount to 'tying somebody's hands and sending him to a boxing ring to fight an opponent."
He said the first four years of the NDC had been beneficial to all Ghanaians and the next four years would further bring about more development in all the regions.

It is then that they are forced to confront not only their immediate survival but the long-term future of their new civilisation. Fundamental objectives like food, clothing and shelter become scarce, while relationships between men and women are made on grounds other than love. Complicating matters is the fact that the men outnumber the women. And then they encounter the planet's original inhabitants... a species which wants to 'scientifically' examine these newcomers.

Aw geez, I hope you were paying attention, guys. Because unless you signed up as a new Verizon customer yesterday (or before), you missed out on your last chance to feed at the unlimited data trough.
Starting today, new plans will pay $10 for 75MB, $30 for 2GB, $50 for 5GB, and $80 for 10GB. Go over your plan? That's an extra $10/GB. This is how free data ends: not with a bang, but with a bigass credit card bill.

BY DAVID BRUCE, Erie Times-News
Jenise Kaliszewski had been trying to get pregnant for less than a month when she first noticed a painful lump near her left armpit in June 2012.
A friend told Kaliszewski, 30, to see a doctor, even though the pain had subsided. The doctor sent the Franklin Township woman to get a sonogram and mammogram.
"As I was getting the mammogram, the radiologist started to look like she was watching a train wreck," Kaliszewski said. "I asked her what was going on. She hugged me and told me I had cancer."
Blood tests were scheduled and Kaliszewski met with an oncology surgeon to determine when she would get the malignant tumors removed.
Five days later, the surgeon called with test results: They showed Kaliszewski was pregnant.
"It felt like everything was hitting us all at once," said Kaliszewski's husband, Greg.
A common treatment for women with breast cancer is surgery, followed by chemotherapy and/or radiation. It's difficult for any patient, let alone a woman who just became pregnant.
Doctors tell younger women with breast cancer not to get pregnant while undergoing treatment. The anesthesia from surgery and the chemicals from chemotherapy and other drugs can affect a fetus, said Christopher Marsh, M.D., a medical oncologist at the Regional Cancer Center.
"The fetus is a developing baby," Marsh said. "Chemotherapy can affect rapidly dividing cells, so you always worry about doing it to a pregnant woman."
Jenise Kaliszewski had long discussions with her doctors. They told her she had HER-2 positive breast cancer, an aggressive type of cancer, and needed to start treatment immediately.
That's fine, she said, but she wanted to keep the baby.
"The way my ob-gyn explained it, I was so early into my pregnancy that either I would miscarry during surgery or the embryo would be completely protected," Jenise Kaliszewski said.
She underwent a double mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery on Aug. 20, even though cancer was found only in one breast.
Removing both breasts reduces her chances of breast cancer in the future.
The good news was that the baby handled surgery well.
The bad news was that the cancer had spread to at least one lymph node.
"That was maybe the scariest moment for me," Jenise Kaliszewski said. "That's when I leaned a lot on my faith, family, friends and my doctors, who were great."
At that point, most women start to get chemotherapy and herceptin, an intravenous drug used specifically to treat HER-2 positive cancer. But herceptin is toxic for a fetus, Marsh said.
"We don't like to give chemotherapy to pregnant women, but there are ways you can protect the baby," Marsh said. "But herceptin -- we don't even think about giving that during pregnancy."
Jenise Kaliszewski went to Magee Women's Hospital in Pittsburgh to meet with a fertility specialist, oncologist and high-risk ob-gyn to determine the best way to keep the baby and get treated for cancer.
It was determined that chemotherapy would wait until Jenise Kaliszewski was at least 13 weeks pregnant. The order of chemotherapy drugs was changed slightly to reduce the possibility of harming the fetus, Marsh said.
Jenise Kaliszewski went to the Regional Cancer Center for treatment every three weeks. The combination of chemotherapy and being pregnant often left her fatigued, but she still found energy to work full time as a lead transportation security officer at Erie International Airport.
"I'd get tired and I wouldn't know if it was from the chemo or the pregnancy," she said. "The pregnancy is what helped get me through those days, looking forward to that little miracle."
Jenise Kaliszewski lost her shoulder-length hair but suffered no other significant side effects during her treatment. Regular sonograms at her ob-gyn's office showed her baby was growing normally.
"Through the pregnancy, I never considered just myself as the patient," she said. "Brinley and I were a team, both one patient -- whatever procedure or treatment I went through had the potential to affect her, too. I'll never forget the feeling I had at the last treatment we received before delivery: We were pausing part way through the treatment cycle to get my blood counts where they needed to be prior to delivering. Sitting at (the cancer center) on March 11th, it instantly hit me ... she no longer had to suffer being the patient, she was now simply the daughter, and I became the patient. It was the happiest day I can recall, knowing that my baby would never have to endure that poisoning again."
Brinley was born April 7.
Everything went smoothly.
"I was so happy that Brinley looked ... " Greg Kaliszewski said as he held the 1-month-old infant against his chest.
"Healthy," Jenise Kaliszewski quickly added, laughing. "I was so worried about preterm labor because it's so common with women who are pregnant and undergoing treatment."
Jenise Kaliszewski returned to the Regional Cancer Center on May 3 to resume her treatments. She is getting three more weeks of chemotherapy and a full year of herceptin.
During her first treatment since Brinley's birth, Regional Cancer Center nurses and technicians surprised Jenise Kaliszewski with baby presents.
She also received a gift from her doctors: a good prognosis.
"Her scans have been good," Marsh said. "I think she has a good chance of being cured."
Jenise Kaliszewski said she never has considered herself a victim and has focused on beating a disease that kills about 40,000 U.S. women a year. She considers her cancer an opportunity to help others who are diagnosed with a serious illness.
"I'm glad it was me instead of anybody else in my family," she said. "I have seen what my family and friends have gone through during my illness. I know that I'm OK, but they don't and they feel so helpless."

Lost in translation: Children's books not always successful as movies
Children's books have long been fodder for Hollywood, with "Mr. Popper's Penguins" the latest kids' story getting a silver-screen version.
But do movies based on kids' books live up to the print versions?
Not always, according to two Kansas State University children's literature experts who say key details are often changed in hopes of turning a page-turner into a blockbuster.
"My biggest concern when a children's book is made into a movie is that the essence of what made the book a success will be lost in translation," said Anne Phillips, an associate professor of English at K-State who teaches courses in children's literature.
"Generally, the studios want a well known actor to play one of the roles so that they can obtain funding for the project. An example is when Dame Maggie Smith was cast as the housekeeper in 'The Secret Garden.' The script was then adapted to give her more to do. All of a sudden the project changed because of adult casting," Phillips said.
Naomi Wood, an associate professor of English who also teaches several children's literature courses, said how the plot is treated is key.
"It's not unusual for distinctive aspects of the text to be erased in favor of a generic approach to plot, characterization, etc.," Wood said. "For example, the protagonist of 'Holes' -- written by Louis Sachar -- was overweight, but movies often replace such characters with conventionally attractive child actors."
A slim Shia LaBeouf in the case of the movie version of "Holes."
But Phillips said sometimes the movie version of children's book can introduce new elements or characters that enhance the story.
"I taught the graduate seminar Film Adaptations of Children's Classics a few years ago and one of my favorite teaching experiences was 'Babe: The Sheep Pig' by Dick King-Smith. It's a good book, but it's a wonderful film," Phillips said. "The filmmakers created an additional character and enhanced the character arcs and plot; additionally, they took such care with the tone and details. It's a spot-on adaptation -- one my students very much admired.
"My students also felt, as a whole, that Walter Farley's 'The Black Stallion' was an OK book, but the film based on it is spectacular. They especially appreciated the director's willingness to respect the silences of the text, especially in the sequences where Alec and The Black have been shipwrecked on the island at the beginning of the film," Phillips said.
Both Phillips and Wood say it's personal preference on whether a child should see the movie first or read the book first.
"I suspect that a number of young readers have become more interested in books such as Rick Riordan's 'The Lightning Thief' and its sequels because they have seen the film," she said. "On the other hand, it can be more of a successful experience to read the book before seeing the film. My son enjoyed 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' and 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' in book form before seeing the films. In the latter case, he wasn't afraid of anything in the film because he had already experienced the book version -- which is less frightening, particularly in its characterization of the monkeys and the Wicked Witch of the West."
Reading the book first also can help young audiences more easily deal with the different interpretations of the story found in multiple film or stage versions, such as the different film versions of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," Phillips said.
Wood prefers reading the book before seeing the movie. She also calls the first "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" movie superior to the book.
One book in Phillips view that hasn't fared well on the silver screen is Dodie Smith's "The One Hundred and One Dalmatians."
"The animated Disney feature is cute but it eviscerates the plot," she said. "The live action 'Dalmatian' films are pretty dreadful and they have no real interest in the plot."
But Phillips calls the book detailed, complex and surprising. "In the movies I miss the complicated gender issues of the text and the excitement of identifying the 101st Dalmatian, which occurs in the last chapter of the novel. None of the films bother with these details," she said.
Comparing books and their film versions is useful in the classroom, whether working with graduate students or preschoolers, Phillips said. It also can be fun for parents and children.
"Students can see similarities and differences, and they develop more specific opinions about both versions," she said. "It's also great fun to experience the text -- whether book or film -- as a class or as a family. The studios know that books with a history of being beloved or notable are films that adults will want to introduce to their children."

'The Voice' Blind Auditions Week 3 Recap: The Coaches Banter, Battle + Sell Themselves
The coaches are eager to fill their teams with the required 12 singers, so spots filled up on Week 3 of the Blind Auditions of Season 2 of 'The Voice.' We see them still encouraging each other to push the button for singers they think are right for the other, with Christina Aguilera often encouraging Adam Levine and Cee Lo to push their giant buzzers, while Blake Shelton muses about contestants being good-looking.
Host Carson Daly has a hard job, stationing himself backstage with the singer's families and friends, expressing frustration and bewilderment when the judges don't turn their chairs around. He's in an unenviable position of having to comfort families when contestant dreams are destroyed. But he remains likeable and supportive the whole time.
We're wondering if the judges are getting whiplash from turning around so fast, too.
We've noticed that Shelton almost always turns his chair around immediately. He just knows from the get-go. Levine is incredibly picky and bends over his button while absorbing a perf. Xtina and Cee Lo also take quite some time to smash their buzzers. Shelton truly makes this show funny. One question though. What's with the cat that Cee Lo was cradling during his interviews?
Here's your PopCrush recap of the third week of 'The Voice' and the blind auditions.
Ducky: He's 26 and from Carlisle, Penn. He's a painter of murals and possessor of a curly-cue mustache. He sang 'Tighten Up' while wearing red shoes. He sang with a strong, smoky, rock 'n' roll voice but none of the coaches turned their chairs around. WTF, coaches? He was good.
Jonathas: This well-coifed 23-year-old is a father of two and his kids are too freakin' cute. He is also from South America and emigrated north knowing absolutely no English. He sang 'U Got It Bad' in a buttery, silky smooth voice like Usher, while his gyrating pelvis got the ladies on their feet. Cee Lo and Christina wanted him, since he played to their urban sensibility. He chose Xtina. [Watch It here]
Monique Benabou: A Nor Cal girl with loads of curls who took care of her breast cancer-riddled mother while in college, Monique is perkier than a cup of coffee and looks a bit like Gloria Estefan. She sang Kelly Clarkson's 'Mr. Know It All' with a crystalline, femme voice and remained consistent throughout. Xtina chose her. [Watch It here]
Naia Kete: This dreadlocked artist is a street musician at the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica. She performed 'The Lazy Song' by Bruno Mars, strumming her guitar and showing range in an earthy style. Blake turned his chair around immediately, and was followed by Cee Lo. She sounds like a Blake-preferred singer (remember Dia and Xenia?) so she chose him. They are a perfect fit. [Watch It here]
Charlotte Sometimes: A disintegrating jaw nearly stopped this fairytale-monikered New Jersey singer from doing her thing. She had her jaw wired shut and wrote songs on the guitar while recovering, humming the melodies. She sang 'Apologize' and sounded like Lana Del Rey, Florence Welch and last season's Xenia. All four coaches wanted her and she chose Blake. Another wise choice, since he really does have the magic touch with the female singers.
Erick Macek: Erick's parents came from the former Czechoslovakia to give him a better life. He is pursuing the American dream and sang 'Free Fallin" in what we thought was an Adam Levine-approved voice but no one was fallin' for him or turned around. For the second time tonight, WTF coaches?
Tony Vincent: 'Rent,' 'Jesus Christ Superstar' and 'American Idiot' litter his resume. He's a Broadway veteran at 38, but his heart is in the pop world and he wants to be on 'The Voice' because of its integrity. He bravely sang 'We Are the Champions' and had dramatic range like Freddie Mercury. Cee Lo chose him. It is a perfect match, since Cee Lo is, as Shelton put it, the king of over-the-top. [Watch It here]
Anthony Evans: A pastor's son, 33-year-old Anthony has gospel singer history. He sang 'What's Going On' and Cee Lo was thisclose to picking him when Christina snatched him up. [Watch It here]
Jamie Lono: The sandwich maker who had a lung removed soulfully sang 'Folsom Prison Blues' and Adam Levine turned around within seconds, which is rare for him. Cee Lo followed suit. Lono said "I make sandwiches for a living" to which Cee Lo replied, "I eat sandwiches" so that's cosmic proof they should hook up, professionally speaking. That sealed the deal. [Watch It here]
Dylan Chambers: His mother has a Broadway background. He sang 'Valerie' in a show tune style with a falsetto. But no judge chose him. For the third time tonight, WTF, coaches?
Justin Hopkins: He was the guitarist in the house band for 'Last Call With Carson Daly.' He sang a rugged version of 'Babylon' and before he did so, he said he wanted Cee Lo to chose him. Well he got 'em. [Watch It here]
Nicolle Galyon: Nicolle wants to be the girl who brings piano to country music, to which everyone tells her she needs to take up the guitar. She has a sweet girl twang like Taylor Swift. She offered up a sensitive rendition of Kenny Chesney's 'You Save Me.' The always-picky Adam Levine chose her, calling her "special."
Ashley de la Rosa: Xtina chose her for her version of 'Sharks in the Water.' This was a truncated audition, so we saw like 10 seconds.
Jordan Rager: Great name. He sang Zac Brown Band's 'Chicken Fried' and of course the country coach Shelton chose him, calling him a "real, genuine country singer." See above re: shortened audition.
Karla Davis: She sang The Band Perry's 'If I Die Young,' which got her drafted to Adam's team. Another 10 second performance.
Alyx: Blake selected her after her version of 'Just Like a Pill' by Pink. We saw about 11 seconds of her aud, but we know Blake and the ladies do well.
Eric Tipton: At six feet tall and 300 lbs., he sings old school soul. He could have been this season's Nakia! He sang 'You Make My Dreams' by Hall and Oates but no one chose him. Boo. We liked him. That's the fourth WTF, coaches?
Mathai: She is from a family of doctors, but chose music over med school. Her dreamy (and ballsy) take on Adele's 'Rumor Has It' had all the male coaches turned around for her. She chose Adam. [Watch It here]

A testicular scan uses a camera to take
pictures of the
testicles after a
radioactive tracer accumulates in testicular tissues
(nuclear medicine test).
During a
testicular scan, the tracer substance is injected into a vein in the arm. It
travels through the bloodstream to the
testicles. Areas of the testicles where the tracer
accumulates in abnormal amounts may indicate some types of tumors. The tracer
may also indicate a pocket of fluid (cyst) or
infection (abscess).
A testicular scan may be done
in an emergency to evaluate the cause of sudden, painful swelling of a
testicle, which can be caused by a twisted spermatic cord inside the testicle.
This condition is called
testicular torsion and needs immediate medical
evaluation and treatment.
ultrasound has largely replaced testicular scans to
investigate possible testicular tumors and testicular torsion.
A testicular scan is done to:
No special preparation is needed for a
testicular scan.
You may be asked to sign a consent form before
the test. Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need
for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To
help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the
medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
A testicular scan is usually done by a
nuclear medicine technologist. The scan pictures are usually interpreted by a
radiologist or
nuclear medicine specialist.
You will
need to remove any jewelry that might interfere with the scan. You may need to
take off all or most of your clothes, but you will be given a cloth or paper
covering to use during the test.
The technologist cleans the site
on your arm where the radioactive tracer will be injected. A small amount of
the radioactive tracer is then injected.
You will lie on your
back on a table and your penis will be taped to your abdomen to prevent it from
interfering with the scan. A sling or towel may be used to support the
testicles under the scanner. After the radioactive tracer is injected, the
camera will scan for radiation released by the tracer and produce pictures of
the tracer in your testicles. Two scans are done about 15 minutes apart. You
need to lie very still during each scan to avoid blurring the pictures. The
camera does not produce any radiation, so you are not exposed to any more
radiation while the scan is being done.
A testicular scan takes
about 45 minutes.
You may feel nothing at all from the
needle puncture when the tracer is injected, or you may feel a brief sting or
pinch as the needle goes through the skin. Otherwise, a testicular scan is
usually painless. You may find it uncomfortable to remain still during the
scan, especially if your testicles are sore. Ask for a pillow or blanket to
make yourself as comfortable as possible before the scan begins.
Allergic reactions to the radioactive tracer are rare. Most of the tracer will be
eliminated from your body (through your urine or stool) within a day, so be
sure to promptly flush the toilet and thoroughly wash your hands with soap and
water. The amount of radiation is so small that it is not a risk for people to
come in contact with you following the test.
Occasionally, some
soreness or swelling may develop at the injection site. These symptoms can
usually be relieved by putting a warm, moist cloth on your arm.
There is always a very slight risk of damage to cells or tissue from
being exposed to any radiation, including the low level of radiation released
by the radioactive tracer used for this test.
A testicular scan uses a camera to take
pictures of the
testicles after a
radioactive tracer accumulates in testicular tissues
(nuclear medicine test). The results of a testicular
scan are usually available within 2 days. In an emergency, results can be
available within 1 hour.
The radioactive tracer flows evenly through
the testicles. No accumulations of the tracer are found in any area of the
The tracer does not flow evenly through the
testicles, indicating narrowing of, blockage of, or damage to the blood vessels
in the testicles. This could indicate that blood flow has been reduced by a
twisted spermatic cord inside the testicle. This is called
testicular torsion.
Areas where the tracer accumulates in an
abnormal amount could indicate a condition such as a
cyst, tumor, pocket of infection (abscess), blood clot, or inflammation of the tubes
(ducts) that carry sperm (epididymis). This inflammation is called
The results of a testicular
scan may not be accurate if you cannot remain still during the test.

Hi girls!I really need some advice, help and support. I was diagnosed with chronic glomerulonephritis when I was 15. Now I'm 32, so I live with this disease for almost 17 years. I've been treated for long time, which was very stressful and excruciating for me. Droppers, hormones, dozens of pills, those who have same diagnose know what it is and how it feels. The protein content in urinalysis was up to 6.6 g. Then there was a long remission. Of course I still had to do some medical tests.
Then I met my husband. First 2 years of our relationships we didn't think about children and everything was fine. On 3rd year we decided it's time for us to become parents. We moved from his parents to new big house. We've been always dreaming to have 4 kids, 3 boys and 1 girl.
In a couple of months after moving to new house I've got pregnant! We were in seventh heaven! But doctors exclaimed in one voice, that I need to do an abortion immediately. They said I'm crazy if I decide to leave a baby and my pregnancy may cause huge problems not only to my health, but to baby's too. But I made a decision that I will carry my baby. So I signed some documents, where I refused to do an abortion. Then I went for treatment in a hospitals, again medications and tests… I cried a lot, I was nervous all the time, I couldn't sleep. All these influenced my health too and my pressure suddenly started to increase. I went to the hospital(one of the best in our city) and doctors first refused to take me, they didn't want to be responsible if something go wrong. But my husband talked to them and I stayed there. At 26th week of pregnancy my pressure raised to 180 and the doctors decided to do an emergency caesarean section. They said there is a chance that baby will survive. But after the surgery my girl had lived for only a couple of minutes. I was in intensive care for a long time.
I don't even remember that time, I was becoming insane. I couldn't accept my loss. I felt her in my stomach, I talked to her, I chose name for her…The doctors made blood transfusion to save me, but I didn't want them to. This is my lamentable story, which still gives me lots of pain and sorrow. It's been already 3 years, but I can't forget and never will. My husband supports me all the time and he hints to try again. But I'm sure I won't survive next time, neither physically nor mentally. I want have children and I want to create family I was dreaming about. But I want to stay alive and I want to have health to care about them.
After some research and consultation with my doctor I think about surrogacy. Maybe you can advise clinics and tell more about the procedure itself? I'll appreciate any help.

Cy Kuckenbaker is back to reorganizing mobile objects by color — and this time he's shifting his attention from airplanes to motor vehicles.
The filmmaker's first video in his "San Diego Studies" series received more than 3 million views on YouTube and Vimeo combined. The clip showed four hours of departing airplanes in less than 30 seconds. Kuckenbaker kept the real-me motion of the planes but placed them closer to each other. The final piece looks surreal; 70 planes are shown landing at San Diego International Airport in a continuous stream.
"I had no idea that it would get the response that it got," the adjunct professor told the Vice Creators Project in a video on YouTube. "You know, it's just one of those situations where it's like, 'OK, this works. So let me see how far I can take it.'"
Kuckenbaker then focused his camera on San Diego's oldest freeway, State Route 163, for a mere four minutes. The documentarian used the same special-effect technique, chroma key, to condense the footage and place the cars in a color pattern. Kuckenbaker explained that the process involves isolating each car individually and animating it frame by frame.
"It's conceptually super simple," he said. "I think it's one of those patterns that's constantly around us. We just never make the observation."
Kuckenbaker said he created the series "to reveal unobservable patterns in San Diego." He's already filmed motion in air and on land — so what should his next video concentrate on?
Here's the unedited traffic video, just to show how much work Kuckenbaker did. Tell us what you think on Facebook, or on Twitter. And here's a previous video from Kuckenbaker, a stunning time-collapsed video of airplanes in San Diego, that became a Vimeo Staff Pick.

Anne Arundel County Executive John R. Leopold said this week that the county will host a forum in February to discuss mental health initiatives in the county.
The forum, he said, comes in response to the shootings last week in Newtown, Conn., in which 20 students and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School were shot and killed by a 20-year-old man.
In a release, Leopold said, "Mental health is a key piece in our discussion about how to prevent these terrible events, which often a perpetrated by a lone gunman who goes unnoticed until the unthinkable happens."
The forum will be held at Anne Arundel Community College on Feb. 12, from 9 to 11 a.m., and will include representatives of the Anne Arundel County Mental Health Agency Inc., county police, the county's Department of Health and Crisis Response System, Anne Arundel County Public Schools and the community college, Baltimore-Washington Medical Center, Anne Arundel Medical Center and others.
Leopold said in the release that the panel will revisit mental health topics discussed at an earlier forum two years ago, and evaluate what progress has been made in identifying and treating mental illness, as well as identify gaps in the county.

Real Property, Probate and Trust Law Journal, Forthcoming
Hundreds of thousands of home foreclosure lawsuits have focused judicial scrutiny on the Mortgage Electronic Registration System ("MERS"). This Article updates and expands upon an earlier piece by exploring the implications of state Supreme Court decisions holding that MERS is not a mortgagee in security agreements that list it as such. In particular this Article looks at: (1) the consequences on land title records of recording mortgages in the name of a purported mortgagee that is not actually mortgagee as a matter of law; (2) whether a security agreement that fails to name an actual mortgagee can successfully convey a property interest; and (3) whether county governments may be entitled to reimbursement of recording fees avoided through the use of false statements associated with the MERS system. This Article concludes with a discussion of steps needed to rebuild trustworthy real property ownership records.

Lee R. Patterson was born July 2, 1923 in Blackwell, TX to Alma Noble Patterson and "T" Patterson.
He came to Blanding in 1941 from San Angelo, TX, with his uncle. The Patterson family had a mattress factory during the Depression.
Lee and his uncle traveled around the western states with a trailer they built selling and repairing mattresses with a portable machine.
After a short stay in Blanding, Lee and his uncle took an annual three month vacation to Canada and Alaska to hunt, fish and explore. Lee always remembered those trips and had a yearning to go back and revisit.
Lee's uncle brought him back to Blanding to finish school. His uncle was very impressed with the "Mormon Culture" and thought it would be a good place for Lee to go to school. He made arrangements with a family to board Lee.
He later became friends with Leon Johnson and moved in with him and his family, not knowing that the love of his life lived there too!! It wasn't long before he started courting Norma Johnson.
World War II was in progress, so Lee joined the Navy. On his first delayed furlough, he came home and married Norma Johnson, April 26, 1944. Their marriage was solemnized two years later in the Salt Lake Temple. He finished training and was shipped to the Philippines. Norma came home to Blanding to await the birth of their first child, LeeAnna, born in 1945.
Lee was honorably discharged in 1946. He came home to Blanding and built their home. Glenn T joined his sister in 1947.
Lee worked in the uranium mines, cutting timber for the Forest Service, was short order cook, worked as a San Juan County deputy, and worked in the uranium mill. They moved to Monticello, UT and lived for two and a half years.
Lee was working at the uranium mill when two more members joined the family, twins!! Lynn J and Lance K in 1951. The mill closed down so Lee moved his family back to Blanding. He worked for UDOT, road construction, road inspector and surveyor. The uranium mill opened in Blanding and he took a job as foreman. Eight years after the twins, Forrest Dean joined the family.
Lee retired in 1989 and began fulfilling his dream of traveling. He took his bride and traveled the western stated into Canada and Alaska. Lee dearly loved to travel and camp. He also loved hiking, fishing, gathering wood, metal detecting, coin collecting, "rock" hunting, and spending time on the mountain. He loved spending time with his grandchildren teaching them about hobbies and telling stories.
Lee is survived by his wife Norma, four children, LeeAnna (George), Glenn (Gloria), Lynn (Linda), Forrest (Sherrie), 14 grandchildren, 36 great grandchildren and great, great grandchildren.
He is preceded in death by his parents T Patterson, Alma Noble, brother JT Patterson, son Lance, three grandchildren, Mathew, Dani Fennell and Cody Patterson.
Interment at the Blanding Cemetery.
Card of thanks
The family of Lee Patterson thanks all those who have shown kindness through your phone calls and home visits. Thanks to all the Doctors and medical personnel who made Lee's life a little easier through the last few weeks. We thank the Second Ward for the wonderful lunch after the funeral and all the meals that were brought into the home. We thank the special "angels" who came by to offer a word of comfort. A special thanks to Danny Palmer in the professional way he treated us. Thank you all so much.

DeCock: ACC Coastal Division race altered by Duke injury
It isn't often the presence or absence of one player can change the entire shape of a conference. Kelby Brown has the potential to do just that in the ACC's Coastal Division.
When Brown went down with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during a scrimmage Monday night, Duke's chances of defending its Coastal title and getting back to Charlotte may have gone with him.
An All-ACC pick last season and going into this season, Brown was one of two players on Duke's defense who could be considered as irreplaceable as a quarterback. Safety Jeremy Cash is the other.
Losing Brown may even be worse than losing Cash would be, because there are several players who can shuffle through the five defensive-back spots, but Duke has not traditionally nor is currently blessed with many other All-ACC linebacker candidates.
David Helton, the ACC's leading tackler last season, will slide into Brown's position, but Duke will have to audition candidates to replace Helton. In fact, Cash will have to play some linebacker to help fill the void, essentially weakening Duke at two positions.
Duke won 10 games last season with a defense that was mostly adequate, balancing a few timely explosive plays (to beat N.C. State, for example) with a few catastrophic breakdowns (the second half against Texas A&M and the entire Pittsburgh debacle). With considerable turnover on the defensive line, the Blue Devils had little reason to expect massive improvement on defense. Now, without Brown, they have to realistically consider the possibility that they may regress.
This has implications that go far beyond Durham. North Carolina is already the wise-guy pick to win the division – both Las Vegas and college-football guru Phil Steele are leaning heavily on UNC, the only Coastal team in the Associated Press Top 25 – and Brown's injury will only bolster the Tar Heels' chances, especially if the division comes down to their Nov. 20 Thursday night game at Duke.
Miami might be the most talented team in the Coastal, but it has to travel to Louisville as its Atlantic crossover game – in the opener with quarterbacks Ryan Williams injured and Kevin Olsen suspended – hosts Florida State and has to play a Thursday night game against Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. That ugly schedule just got a little prettier.
Likewise, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh will feel a little better about their chances in what was already a wide-open division race. Pretty much everyone but Virginia can make a case at this point. Until Monday night, Duke could make one of the more convincing ones. Not anymore.
You have to feel for Brown, who has already lost one entire season to a knee injury, torn his right ACL twice and now faces the uncertain prospect of applying for a sixth year of eligibility to conclude his Duke career.
Every team faces injury problems to some degree, and other important players will be injured across the Coastal Division before the season is over. Going into the season, it's hard to imagine a single defensive player in the division as important to his team as Brown.
Duke, with little margin for error on defense already, couldn't afford to lose him. The Blue Devils knew it would be difficult to match last season's accomplishments even with Brown. Without him, it's even harder.

Ragunan Zoo (TMR) management keeps improving the welfare and comfort of the animals. One of them is by imposing the day off for wildlife every Monday. Its plan will begin in upcoming February.
"Such policy will be imposed every Monday, which falls on February 3, 2014," said Wahyu Bambang, Head of Ragunan Zoo Public Relation, Tuesday (1/28).
Bambang said it aims to improve the welfare and comfort of the animals in the zoo. With a quiet atmosphere, the animal could feel more natural atmosphere.
"All this time, there has never been a animals holiday. During day off, Ragunan Zoo management will also use this moment to do improvements and create a better wildlife management," he stated.
As for animals, he furthered, remained in the cage. Yet it would be made more natural atmosphere. "If the day off for wildlife coincides with a national holiday, its policy is to replace the day off in the next day," he explained.
Bambang added, his side hopes the visitors can understand the condition, because it aims to improve the quality of Ragunan Zoo. "We`ve been socialized this matter, thus visitors are not surprised later. It`s positive, I`m sure they will support us," he exclaimed.
In Ragunan Zoo, there are 4 types of animal such as mammal, bird, reptile, and pisces. There are more than 200 kinds of animals with a total of 1,900.

The Failure Of The Left

In Arthur Koestler's novel Darkness At Noon, N.S. Rubashov, founding father of 'the revolution', stands convicted of treason against tyrannical leader 'No. 1'. But Rubashov knows that his real guilt lies elsewhere:
'Why had not the Public Prosecutor asked him: "Defendant Rubashov, what about the infinite?" He would not have been able to answer - and there lay the real source of his guilt... Could there be a greater?'
What about uncertainty, what about the Unknown? How could Rubashov be sure that the tyranny his party had imposed on the people would truly deliver them to some socialist utopia?
'What had he said to them? "I bow my knees before the country, before the masses, before the whole people..." And what then? What happened to these masses, to this people? For forty years it had been driven through the desert, with threats and promises, with imaginary terrors and imaginary rewards. But where was the Promised Land?
'Did there really exist any such goal for this wandering mankind? That was a question to which he would have liked an answer before it was too late. Moses had not been allowed to enter the land of promise either. But he had been allowed to see it, from the top of the mountain, spread at his feet. Thus, it was easy to die, with the visible certainty of one's goal before one's eyes. He, Nicolas Salmanovitch Rubashov, had not been taken to the top of a mountain; and wherever his eye looked, he saw nothing but desert and the darkness of night.'
Leftists and environmentalists have also not been allowed to enter the land of promise, or to see it from the mountain top.
Instead, we see the looming tsunami of climate catastrophe blotting out the sun, obscuring hopes of a decent future. We witness the astonishing spectacle of global society failing to respond to a threat so severe that scientists warn that even a few more decades of business-as-usual could result in human extinction. We absorb the crushing defeat since 1988 - the year the United Nations set up its Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - of our inability to overcome corporate resistance to mounting, now mountainous, evidence of approaching disaster.
After decades of intense effort, which many of us felt sure would culminate in a steadily saner society prioritising people over profit, we also can see 'nothing but desert and the darkness of night'.
The Elusive Turning Point
The 1980s explosion of public interest in green issues had writers like Edward Goldsmith and Fritjof Capra heralding 'The Great U-Turn','The Turning Point' that would transform society into a rational, sustainable, 'solar' economy.
How naïve and deterministic these predictions seem now with the green movement long overwhelmed by a corporate backlash that has supersize people driving supersize cars through an eruption of global consumption, with 'green concern' reduced to a niche marketing strategy targeting privileged elites.
Three decades later, the whole world flies the whole world for any reason it can conceive: a weekend shopping trip to New York, a day trip to Rome, a school trip to LA, a 'holiday of a lifetime' this year and every year. The world's famous sights are now rammed in tourist gridlock.
In other words, the noisy, optimistic greens of the 1980s and 1990s should be suffering a mass nervous breakdown about now. So, also, should the left, which woke late to the crisis of climate change. In an interview, the Canadian Dimensions website asked Noam Chomsky:
'In a lot of your writing ecological concerns seem to have come to the fore only fairly recently or at least didn't figure as prominently in your earlier writings on foreign policy.'
Chomsky replied:
'Well, the severity of the problem wasn't really recognized until the 1970s and then increasingly in the 1980s.'
True enough, but in books like Deterring Democracy (1992), Year 501 (1993), and World Orders, Old And New (1994), Chomsky devoted just one or two paragraphs to climate change at a time when green commentators were trying to amplify the urgent alarm raised in the US Congress by NASA climate scientist James Hansen in 1988. Chomsky's book Powers and Prospects (1996) contains no mention of the issue at all. By contrast, Chomsky concentrated heavily on issues like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) - hardly insignificant, but trivial by comparison.
Unlike Chomsky, who in 2013 published Nuclear War And Environmental Catastrophe with Laray Polk (Seven Stories Press), many high-profile writers on the left continue to have little or nothing to say about climate change. Why?
Leftists are typically rooted in the 17th century Western Enlightenment conviction that humanity should use reason, notably the scientific method, to radically transform both society and the natural world to the benefit of mankind. Leftists have been reluctant to perceive a fundamental problem with high-tech industrial 'progress' per se, focusing instead on the need to share the fruits more equably.
Greens argue that the 'conquest of nature' (both human and environmental) delivers pyrrhic victories because human reason is simply not equal to the task. The complexity and unknown (and perhaps unknowable) nature of the human and natural systems involved means that in 'improving' one aspect of life, we very often create entirely unforeseen and perhaps unmanageable chaos elsewhere.
The left just did not want to hear the bad news that there might be a deep problem with the scientific-industrial project, with the whole idea that the world can be endlessly 'improved'. While corporate elites put themselves first and leftists prioritised humanity, greens argued that we should respect the needs of the ecosystem as a whole.
Despite the failure to address climate change, there are few signs of soul-searching in left-green circles. For example, anyone wondering what happened to Jonathan Porritt – an inspirational spokesman for green revolution in the 1980s – need look no further than his recent comment on Twitter:
'Big bash yesterday celebrating 3 years of @Unilever's USLP [Unilever Sustainable Living Plan]. CEO Paul Polman in great form: much achieved but so much to do.'
Has much been achieved in the 25 years since James Hansen and other scientists raised the alarm? In 2009, Hansen estimated the percentage of required action implemented to address the climate crisis at precisely '0%'. (Email, Hansen to Media Lens, June 18, 2009) Since then, carbon emissions, consumption and temperatures have continued to soar.
And this is hardly the only failure we've faced in recent times. Consider the 'convergence' of 'mainstream' politics – Blair's 1997 corporate coup d'état that removed any semblance of 'mainstream' left opposition in the UK, so that we are free only to choose from a selection of representatives of corporate rather than popular power.
Or consider the entrenchment of Orwellian 'Perpetual War' – the state-corporate determination to bomb someone, somewhere, every couple of years for reasons that have everything to do with realpolitik and nothing to do with reason or righteousness, or 'the responsibility to protect'. Despite self-evident crimes resulting in mass death on a scale that almost defies imagination, the left has failed to resist the warmongering tide in Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Sierra Leone, Yemen, Pakistan, Syria and Iraq (again).
As recently as August 2013, even after the deceptions of Iraq and Libya, both corporate and non-corporate dissidents were lending credence to US propaganda blaming Syrian president Assad for chemical weapons attacks in Damascus. Leading weapons expert, Professor Ted Postol of MIT commented on these claims:
'To me, the fact that people are not focused on how the [Obama] administration lied is very disturbing and shows how far the community of journalists and the community of so-called security experts has strayed from their responsibility... I am concerned about the collapse of traditional journalism and the future of the country.'
Given the above, the left-green movement might be expected to share Rubashov's crisis of conscience and confidence – many have deceived themselves that they know, with absolute certainty, how to make the world a better place. But do they? Are they right?
The confidence, in fact arrogance, of many 'progressives' has been so overweening that they have simply dismissed thousands of years of insight into these problems from non-Western sources whose understanding of human psychology and, by implication, social change far exceeds almost anything found in the West (an issue to which I'll return in a later Cogitation).
Is Anyone At The Wheel?
The failure to respond to climate catastrophe has to raise urgent questions for anyone trying to address human and animal suffering. Even to compare this failure with political and media enthusiasm for 'action' in response to the absurd, credibly dismissed, and in fact completely non-existent threat from Iraq's WMD in 2002-2003 is astonishing.
We assume our society is able to act rationally, but is it in fact only able to respond to threats (real or imagined) that serve vested interests? Has our political system evolved to respond in ways that increase short-term profit, but not to threats that could be averted by harming profit? Perhaps no actual agency exists with sufficient power to counter this deadly bias. Perhaps no-one rational, in fact, is at the wheel.
One also cannot help wondering about the hidden ideological obstacles to the idea that human beings could face extinction in the next 50 or 100 years.
What we call 'progress' is strongly imbued with a sense of 'manifest destiny'. The rapid empowerment of science and technology naturally gives the impression that they are leading somewhere better, not worse. As environmental writer Paul Kingsnorth comments:
'A society that takes progress as its religion does not look kindly on despair. If you are expected to believe everything will keep getting better, it can be difficult to admit to believing otherwise.'
Especially when billions of advertising dollars – all in the business of promising a better life - have a vested interested in denial. It surely seems inconceivable to many in awe of the high-tech revolution that an iPad could emerge shortly before we are erased from the face of the earth. It is a story that makes no sense. Even committed atheists may have a subtle faith in the idea that the human journey cannot be merely absurd – that we could not develop, flourish and suddenly vanish. Surely science and technology will save the day – surely the great adventure of 'progress' will not collapse from glittering 'peak' to catastrophe. Science has long given us a sense that we have 'conquered' and 'escaped' nature. It is humbling, humiliating, to even imagine that we might yet be annihilated by nature.
Science fiction writers and film-makers have saturated society with the idea that our manifestly unsustainable way of life is part of an almost pre-ordained journey to an ever more high-tech lifestyle. A glamorous future among the stars, however fraught with alien menace, seems to have been mapped out for us. Although humankind has remained stubbornly stuck at the Moon for 40 years, there seems little doubt about what the future will bring. But will it? Is it possible that this idea of human development is fundamentally misguided? Should we be more focused on moving in rather than out? (Our society is by now so divorced from spiritual awareness that the question may appear meaningless.) What if the reality of our situation on this planet makes a complete nonsense of the science fictional vision of 'progress'?
Similarly, is it really possible for the many believers in a theistic God to accept the possibility of near-term human extinction? Can they conceive that we were created by a divine being only to be wiped out by a giant fart of industrial gas? What kind of deity would play such games? Theists precisely reject the idea of a random, meaningless universe. But what could be more nihilistic than industrial 'progress' culminating in self-extinction? What does it mean for the promise of 'the second coming', for the teaching of the prophets down the ages, and so on?
Drawing Water From The Corporate Well
Writing in the Guardian, George Monbiot asks a good, related question:
'We appear to possess an almost limitless ability to sit back and watch as political life is seized by plutocrats; as the biosphere is trashed... How did we acquire this superhuman passivity?'
Instead of organising to change the world, Monbiot perceives a superficial society lost in a 'national conversation – in public and in private – that revolves around the three Rs: renovation, recipes and resorts?'
This certainly describes the typical fare served up by the newspaper that pays Monbiot to embed his left-green concerns alongside its soul-bleaching, advertiser-friendly pap. Monbiot's Rousseauvian conclusion:
'Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chainstores.'
And indeed, flip a page in any number of chainstores and you will find Monbiot's earnest, kindly face smiling out at you.
In truth, corporate dissidents like Monbiot have played a crucial role in persuading intelligent, caring, potentially progressive readers to continue drawing water from the corporate well. Journalist Owen Jones, also of the Guardian, tells Media Lens (to paraphrase): 'You are irrelevant, reaching no-one. I am reaching a mass audience.'
But reaching a mass audience with what?
The filtered content of corporate news and commentary, saturated with corporate advertising of every stripe, makes a mockery of these rare glimpses of dissent.
Imagine the impact of reading an article on climate change by a Monbiot or a Jones and then turning the page to an American Airlines advert for reduced-fare flights to New York. Or imagine turning to the front cover of a colour supplement that reads:
'Time is running out... Ski resorts are melting... Paradise islands are vanishing... So what are you waiting for? 30 places you need to visit while you still can - A 64-page Travel Special.'
This concussive car crash of reality and illusion - of calls for action to address a grave crisis alongside calls to quit worrying and embrace the consumerism that has precisely created the crisis – delivers a transcendent message that the crisis isn't that serious, things aren't that bad.
The collision delivers the crippling lesson that the truth of looming catastrophe is only one of several versions of reality on offer – we can choose. We can even pick 'n' mix. We can enjoy a moral workout while commuting to our corporate office, feel enraged about the climate, Iraq, dolphins. Then we can turn to the business section, or think about buying a new car, or choose the next trip abroad. Later, we can watch a David Attenborough documentary about the wonders of the natural world without giving much of a damn about the fact that these wonders are being obliterated.
Corporate dissidents are a rational, compassionate, reassuring presence persuading us that compartmentalised moral concern is part of a healthy, balanced corporate media diet and lifestyle. As discussed, like Owen Jones, Monbiot's earnest portrait in the Guardian peers out from a crowd of corporate adverts, entertainments, perspectives. We look at his concerned face in this context and see a guy like us, living as we live and work. Are we better-informed, more impassioned, more radical than he is? Surely not. So if he lives this way – if he is willing to be employed by the very corporate system against which he is ostensibly rebelling, the system that is killing us - why shouldn't we?
There is no question that corporate media teach 'mainstream' propaganda values. The Guardian, for example, taught us to see Blair as a great moral force; it taught us to see the 'Iraq threat' as something more than a cynical fraud. More recently, it has been teaching us to swallow the West's claimed 'responsibility to protect' in Libya and Syria, and even (without so much as blinking an eye) in Iraq, a country in desperate need of protection from the West.
But crucially, the Guardian and other media also teach us dissent, even as they teach us to crave the luxury products and lifestyles they sell. And so their most devastating lesson of all is that this cognitive dissonance can be embraced, accepted, left unresolved, year after year. We are trained to live with absurdity, to embrace it as 'normal'. We have been numbed to the insanity of the way we live and think. And in the face of approaching apocalypse, we are numb, and dumb, and unmoved.
In the early 1990s, Phil Lesly, author of a handbook on public relations and communications, revealed a key secret of corporate control:
'People generally do not favour action on a non-alarming situation when arguments seem to be balanced on both sides and there is a clear doubt... There is no need for a clear-cut "victory"... Nurturing public doubts by demonstrating that this is not a clear-cut situation in support of the opponents usually is all that is necessary.' (Lesly, 'Coping with Opposition Groups,' Public Relations Review 18, 1992, p.331)
Corporate media reports and commentary 'nurturing public doubts' overwhelm occasional dissenting pieces. Adverts also loudly sell a corporate version of invincible 'Normality' (with no balancing perspectives allowed or even imagined). All insist we are facing 'a non-alarming situation'.
Corporate dissidents deliver their strongest, most impassioned arguments. Corporate media gratefully receive these arguments, position them among their low-cost flight and sofa deals, and in effect say to readers:
'See, even this has a place here, fits here, is compatible here.'
So while corporate dissidents have indeed reached a mass audience through the 'quality' press, they have drawn that mass audience into a corporate killing zone.
Isn't it obvious that everything hosted by corporate media is diminished and degraded? As the American philosopher Thoreau observed:
'I have learned that trade curses everything it handles; and though you trade in messages from heaven, the whole curse of trade attaches to the business.' (Thoreau, Walden)
Left-green groups have achieved so little, in part because they have embraced corporate dissent and corporate dissent truly is cursed by the trade handling its messages from heaven. Consequently, these movements have been cursed, crushed, neutralised, neutered, made nonsensical by cooperating with a media system that is the sworn enemy of everything they are trying to achieve - deep change to the status quo.
The unwritten quid pro quo of media inclusion is such that these groups have refused even to comment on the structural bias of a corporate media system reporting on a world dominated by corporations. Why? Because, as they tell us, 'We have to work with the media'. Attentive readers will catch occasional swipes at 'the media', at the tabloids, at everyone's favourite punch bag, the BBC. But the de facto ban on discussing the oxymoron that is a corporate 'free press' strongly supports the illusion that no such contradiction exists. If even the boldest, most honest dissidents are not alerting readers to the problem, then those readers are being hung out on a hundred propaganda lines to dry.
The fatalistic impression given is that no-one and nothing can really escape the grip of corporate 'normality', of corporate control. Cooperation helps sell this 'normality' as Higher Truth – we all prioritise comfort, luxury, earning more, consuming more, travelling more.
It doesn't take much imagination to understand that every system of unaccountable power benefits from employing a handful of individuals admired for their honesty about everything except that which threatens their unaccountable employer.
We might well dismiss all of the above as speculative and inconclusive, but for the fact that the argument is given immense, urgent weight by the catastrophic failure of the left on climate change.
And yet, to reiterate, even now corporate dissidents are not engaging in this kind of soul-searching – they cannot because corporate journalists may not discuss the problem of a corporate 'free press' in the corporate press.

DULUTH, MINNESOTA – A Duluth, Minnesota, police officer will face criminal charges for, as a video shows, beating up a man in a detox facility last month, the city's police department said Thursday.
Shawn Reed, the independent counsel looking into the case, decided Thursday to press charges against Officer Richard Jouppi, according to a news release from Duluth police.
Jouppi will face counts of fifth-degree assault and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors.
The officer's attorney, Frederic Bruno, defended his clients' actions as "100%" justified.
According to a police report written by Jouppi, officers responded on September 21 to transport a man — later identified as Anthony Jackson — who witnesses described as being "extremely intoxicated (and) in two fights tonight." Duluth police spokesman Jim Hansen said last Friday that officers had gone to a halfway house because Jackson had violated its no-drinking policy.
Jackson was brought to the Duluth Detoxification Center "without incident," though once there the police report indicates he exchanged "unpleasant remarks" with a female staff member.
Security camera footage, later released to media, shows Jackson in a room sitting in a wheelchair trying to take off his coat. He stands up, trying to remove his jacket, when the police officer — Jouppi, who had been standing by the door — arrives and pins Jackson's arm behind his head, pushing him back.
The video shows Jackson pawing once at the police officer's face, as his other arm is pinned back. Jouppi responds with five punches to Jackson's head, then grabs him by the neck and pulls him off his wheelchair and onto the floor.
"I controlled his right arm at the elbow in order to prevent Jackson from falling through with his threat to strike (a) staff member," Jouppi wrote in the police report.
"I sought to take Jackson into custody and delivered two strikes to Jackson's face, as it was the only target presented to me at the time and in order to keep him from delivering more strikes I flipped the wheelchair … which brought Jackson's back down to the ground."
Jackson was booked on charged of felony assault and later released, Hansen said. But those charges have since been dropped, according to Ernie Swartout, records manager for the Duluth police department — a move that Jouppi's lawyer said was "expected" and "is pandering to the public."
Division Deputy Chief Mike Tusken told reporters last Friday that police had since visited Jackson "to reassure (him) that we are taking this seriously and just give him an update that we're doing an investigation on the matter."
The police official also confirmed that Jouppi has been accused in other incidents.
"It is not the first time there have been complaints on the officer," Tusken said.
Jouppi's attorney described the charges facing his client, even though misdemeanors, as "disturbing" and unwarranted.
"It is a black-and-white case," Bruno said, adding there is no chance his client will settle.
The attorney asserts that Jackson "clearly stands up in the video and strikes the police officer."
"You strike a cop, and you are in no man's land," Bruno said.
