When I was 20 years old, a friend of mine murdered two of my close friends.
He shot them execution-style in a warehouse in West Hartford, Connecticut.
We never got the chance to ask him where he acquired the gun which he used to shoot his friends in this senseless act. The next day his self-mutilated body was found two states away in Vermont. He had killed himself.
Now, more than two decades later, 28 people are dead in Newtown, Connecticut, a sleepy New England suburb where trees and lakes are more plentiful than murder investigations. It is much like the Connecticut community where I grew up near Hartford. The shooting Friday of innocent students and school personnel was one of 62 mass shootings that have occurred in the United States since 1982, according to the Washington Post.
Having experienced the surreal shock of losing two friends to bullets, I can only imagine the agony these parents, teachers and children are experiencing in Sandy Hook, a village in Newtown. It took me at least a year to get over the sensation that would wash over me frequently, a fear that someone might shoot me for no logical reason. It is only a coincidence that both these shootings happened in Connecticut, of course, but they are similar in that they both involved young men, guns, and mental health problems, undiagnosed or not.
Since the shooting, which sent me and my friends to three funerals in a single week, I have heard all the debates about gun control, and every time after one of these mass shootings occurs, I shake my head, knowing that the debate will pass and we will cave in and move on. Then, the next mass shooting will happen and the photographs of grieving parents and terrified children all will remind us Americans that we have failed. We have failed to take on the NRA, failed to demand that our Congress take on these powerful lobbyists, failed to stop passing the buck. President Barack Obama teared up Friday when he spoke of the shootings, but will Americans and Congress support him if he tries to take "meaningful action" when it comes to changing gun laws?
Here is a fact to ponder. In the vast majority of the 61 mass shooting in America since 1982, the guns which killed the victims were purchased legally — and most likely, easily. You can buy guns at Walmart.
I used to work as a mental health counselor, and I acknowledge that we do not devote enough resources to treat the mentally disturbed people who eventually turn to guns to carry out their twisted plans. Nor do we find alternatives for the teenage boys, and 20-somethings lured to video games the way they used to be seduced by Playboy.
But when it comes to guns in the real world, here's a simple fact, and there is no getting around this. It is far easier to kill someone with a gun than a knife or a baseball bat, or just about any kind of weapon you can think of. Without the precise, long-distance capabilities that a gun affords, the killer who took my friends would never have been able to take down two people, one of them more than 6 feet tall. Nor could the Newtown killer have annihilated an entire classroom. Not even six- and seven-year-olds.
It is simpler to buy a gun in America than it is to get a driver's license at a time when we should make it as hard as possible to purchase one. That way, if someone is mentally disturbed, we will put up a nice fat roadblock that could derail a massacre.
One of my friends who was murdered is buried just 100 feet from where my parents are laid to rest. And, one thing I do know. If his killer had no gun to bring into that warehouse that March night, I would have one less grave to visit every time I return to my Connecticut hometown.

Dravid draws inspiration from Tendulkar
Rahul Dravid feared end of his career due to slump in form at one stage but drew inspiration from fellow Indian batting great Sachin Tendulkar's fighting spirit to not only revive his career but also emerge as the leading Test run scorer this season.
Dravid revealed that he felt like it was all over for him due to prolonged lean patch and that he put too much pressure on himself during that period, worrying what would be the best time to call it quits.
But changed his approach by observing how Tendulkar had come out of a similar tough period.
"I thought I had played my last Test match in Australia. If you have been someone who has contributed a lot for your team over the years, then to get the feeling that the team is carrying you is something that is not easy to get used to ... It was a difficult period for me," Dravid said in an interview with Sydney Morning Herald, recalling how he felt at the end of India's last tour Down Under about four years ago.
The right-hander then had equally bad tour against the Australians at home and against England but he was not dropped from the side and finally he succeeded in regaining his touch.

'It doesn't matter in the end when you finish'
The prolific scorer said he drew inspiration for his revival from Tendulkar, who himself had fought off the trying times with grit.
"He went through a tough period and he came out of that. That was an inspiration to me. Being in the same dressing room as him, he was having a golden run while I was going through one of my worst times."
"You think if he can do it -- admittedly, he is a much better player, a greater player -- but he didn't stress himself about outside stuff, he didn't answer too many questions about retirement, he just got on with the business of scoring runs ..."
"I got too caught up in worrying about, what is the right time [to finish], what is the wrong time, is this my last tour, is it not my last tour, rather than just playing. It doesn't matter in the end when you finish. I think over the past year, year and a half, I've just played the game, and when the time comes, it comes," Dravid said.
'Age does change things'
Dravid, three weeks short of his 39th birthday, said with age a player's batting style changes but an aging cricketer could still make valuable contribution to the team.
"It (age) does change things, there's no doubt about it. You're a different player than you were as a 24-year-old or a 30-year-old. I think actually it is about recognising that, yes, you do change, as a person, as a player"
"Will you be the same player as you were at 28? Maybe not. Can you still be effective and play a role for your side? Probably, yes. A lot of people get hung up on looking at a player in what they think is his prime, and they think he should play like that all the time; it will never happen. You might play the odd innings like that again but even Viv Richards was not the same player when he finished," he said.
Dravid said a player should continue playing the game and even favoured coming out of retirement, just the way legendary Australian swimmer Ian Thorpe did.
"I was reading what Ian Thorpe said when he came out of retirement and somebody asked him about his legacy: 'What are you doing to your legacy by coming back and coming eighth in a race?' And he said, 'I can sacrifice my legacy for the love of the sport," Dravid said.
"That makes sense. It's pure, he [Thorpe] still enjoys swimming and he enjoys competing. He's not concerned about his legacy, he's concerned about what actually made him play the game in the first place, which is that love of the game, the desire to compete and play. And that will go at some stage. That probably should be the decision," he said.
'I'm never going to be a Sehwag'
Talking about his batting style, he said he cannot be as aggressive as Indian opener Virender Sehwag and is happy with the way he plays.
"I'm never going to be a Sehwag. That's not me, but when I'm playing well and things are flowing for me, my scoring rate does improve. I feel in good position, I feel balanced, I am able to get fully forward, get fully back. I create more opportunities to score runs."
"Then when I struggle, I can get into my shell and get really tight. Part of my nature is to fight through things. A lot of guys will hit their way out of trouble but my defence mechanism, my fallback, is to fight through the difficult times," he said.

In nearly 24 hours since a report emerged that Redskins coach Mike Shanahan packed up his office and nearly quit in January 2013 before a playoff game, Shanahan has spoken about the situation (even if he really didn't say much). Robert Griffin III has spoken about the situation (even if he really didn't say anything).
Owner Daniel Snyder has said nothing. Neither has G.M. Bruce Allen, whose title and circumstances of hiring in early 2010 suggest he is Shanahan's boss (even if Allen really isn't).
One day removed from the eruption, the silence becomes deafening. How can Snyder and Allen not react to Shanahan apparently leaking the report, knowing it would hit only hours before a game and then not denying it (and in fact sort of confirming it) during a post-game press conference in which Shanahan made it clear he has every intention of being the head coach through the rest of the current season?
There's a chance that the team's power structure has opted to fight off-the-record fire with off-the-record fire, getting their point across without attaching their names to it. Citing unnamed sources, the Washington Post reports that management is "angry" about the report.
"Some Redskins officials questioned the timing and motivation behind those sentiments becoming public, the people with knowledge of the situation said, with some suggesting Shanahan — or someone close to him — was behind the story," Mark Maske of the Post wrote. "The Redskins officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, said a parting of the ways between the team and Shanahan was increasingly likely."
So why not do it now? The Redskins just finished a disastrous three-game home stand, capped by a 45-10 loss to the Chiefs before the smallest crowd for any non-preseason game since FedEx Field opened in 1997.
It could be that the notoriously litigious Snyder has decided to huddle with his battalion of lawyers and formulate a plan before proceeding. And that plan could include stiffing Shanahan, like the late Al Davis once did.
The organizational dysfunction has been lingering for months. It's quite possible that enough stuff has happened behind the scenes to give Snyder enough ammunition to make a straight-faced argument that Shanahan shouldn't get his $7 million salary for 2014.
With Shanahan's fingerprints firmly affixed to Sunday's report and with the eventual decision being made by Commissioner Roger Goodell, it would hardly be the most frivolous legal claim Snyder has ever made. Regardless, Snyder needs to say or do something, at some point soon.
Shanahan has made look Snyder look bad, and with each passing hour of silence Snyder is looking worse.

Rubicon Theatre Co Continues Season With CRIMES OF THE HEART, Concludes 5/16
Rubicon Theatre Company continues its 2009-2010 Season with a revival of Beth Henley's Pulitzer Prize-winning play CRIMES OF THE HEART. Set in Mississippi in 1974 (five years after Hurricane Camille), this sweet, sexy comedy follows the travails of the three Magrath sisters, who come together at the family home in Hazelhurst when the youngest Babe is charged with shooting her husband "'cause she didn't like his looks." Middle sister Meg reconnects with Doc Porter, with whom she had a romantic tryst before heading to L.A. to start a recording career. And Lenny, the eldest, has set her own passions aside in order to take care of Old Grandaddy. Despite their love for each other, sibling rivalries bubble to the surface in a hilarious, heartwarming and familiar way. CRIMES OF THE HEART opens April 24 at Rubicon Theatre, 1006 E. Main Street in Ventura's Downtown Cultural District. Low-priced previews are April 21-23. Specific show times and prices are below. The production continues Wednesdays through Sundays through May 16. For tickets, call (805) 667-2900 or go to www.rubicontheatre.org.The cast for CRIMES OF THE HEART includes Rubicon newcomer and recent Ovation Award-winner Tasha Ames (Featured Actress for Rabbit Hole), as the vulnerable and troubled Babe, FALINE ENGLAND (Rubicon's Turn of the Screw and All My Sons) as the family rebel Meg, and KARA REVEL (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest at Rubicon) as the repressed caretaker Lenny. ROSS HELLWIG makes his Rubicon debut as Barnette Lloyd, the defense attorney with a "vendetta" towards Babe's husband; and JASON CHANOS (Rubicon's Bus Stop and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) plays Doc Porter, who still pines for Meg even though she deserted him in the eye of the hurricane years before. TINA VAN BERCKELAER rounds out the cast as cousin Chick, whose primary concern is how the Magrath sisters' escapades will affect her own social position in the community. Rubicon Artistic Director James O'Neil, whose Rubicon credits include All My Sons, The Diary of Anne Frank and Fiddler on the Roof, helms the production. Says O'Neil, "This play is full of opposites that surprise us and make us laugh. Beth Henley has an uncanny way of helping us find redeeming virtues in and sympathize with characters whose actions on the surface may seem impossible to understand. And although the plot elements are tragic, the characters themselves and their responses to The Situation are hilariously funny."Ms. Henley really mines the humanity of the characters," continues O'Neil. "We find ourselves identifying with these characters and rooting for them to overcome the obstacles in their paths. We long for these sisters to have just one moment suspended in time where time stops in all the chaos of their lives. A moment of connection. Of peace. Of family."More about the Actors and DirectorTasha Ames plays the dreamy and dysfunctional youngest sister who has shot her husband. Tasha grew up in Southern California, left for New York at 18, and spent two years at NYU (Tisch) before transferring to USC, where she graduated with a BFA in Theatre. Tasha won an Ovation Award for her role as Izzy in Malibu Stage Company's production of Rabbit Hole. Other career highlights include Lost Angels' production of Bug at The Coast Playhouse; Vinegar Tom, Fire Eater and Betty's Summer Vacation with Workshop 360; Patricia Cotter's Best/Worst with Apartment A; and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and This is Our Youth at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Tasha co-starred in the pilot of Liz Tigelaar's critically-acclaimed series for the CW, "Life Unexpected," and Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz's NBC drama "Quarterlife." The character of Doc Porter, who was abandoned by Meg and left a cripple in the eye of the hurricane, is played by JASON CHANOS, who has appeared with Rubicon as Nick in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Bo Decker in Bus Stop. Other West Coast credits include Ubu Roi and The Tempest at A Noise Within, The Uneasy Chair at Ensemble Theatre Company, and 1001 at The Theatre @ Boston Court. Regionally, Jason has worked with Kansas City Rep, Denver Center and Utah Shakespearean Festival, in roles ranging from Hamlet to multiple characters in the one-man show Fully Committed. Off-Broadway, he has performed with Playwrights Horizons and the LArk Theatre Company.FALINE ENGLAND returns to Rubicon in the role of Meg, who has suffered a breakdown after a failed singing career. Faline previously played The Governess in Turn of the Screw, (Ovation Nomination for Best Play in a Large Theatre), and Ann in All My Sons, (Ovation Award Nomination for Best Supporting Actress/Ovation Award for Best Play in a Large Theatre). Faline graduated from UCSB with a BFA in Theatre. Stage credits include Viola in Twelfth Night, Angelica in The Rover (Santa Barbara Indie Awards for both), and work with Theatre Artist's Group, Santa Barbara Dance Theatre, James Donlon & Co., Western Stage and the Taper Youth Conservatory. Faline co-wrote, produced and starred in Flayjennnie Eroticus: A Documentary (Independent Award). TV and film credits include "Nip/Tuck," "Numb3rs," "Medium," "Without A Trace," "The Handler," "C.S.I.," "The Agency," "Roswell," "Any Day Now," "The Pretender," "Martial Law," "V.I.P," "The Least of These" (with Isaiah Washington), and "Midnight Clear" (with Stephen Baldwin). ROSS HELLWIG plays Barnette Lloyd, the quirky young attorney who takes on Babe's case and is determined to win it for personal reasons. Ross recently appeared in the L.A. Theatre Works National Tour of RFK: The Journey to Justice. His L.A. credits include multiple productions with The Kingsmen Shakespeare Company; Photograph 51 at The Fountain Theatre; Troilus and Cressida and The Rover with The Antaeus Company; and The Rainmaker at A Noise Within. Ross has performed in seven shows at San Diego's Old Globe Theatre, including the title role in Vincent in Brixton. Other regional credits include work with Pittsburgh Public Theatre, Pittsburgh Irish and Classical Theatre, Mill Mountain Theatre, Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival, The Studio Theatre and TheatreworksUSA. Film and TV credits include episodes of "Law & Order: SVU," "Numb3rs," and "The Guiding Light."The role of Lenny, whose 30th birthday is all but forgotten in the Magrath mayhem, is played by KARA REVEL. Kara returns to Rubicon after playing Candy Starr in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Other stage credits include the World Premiere of Sit and Shiver (written and directed by Steven Berkoff), the West Coast premiere of Caryl Churchill's Far Away, the West Coast premiere of Jane Martin's Flags, the 10th anniversary production of Dracula at Actors Theatre Of Louisville, Rosalind in As You Like It with Shakespeare Orange County, and Othello for L.A. Women's Shakespeare Company's co-production with The Theatre @ Boston Court. Film and TV credits include "Criminal Minds," "The Legend of Simon Conjurer" with Jon Voight, "Diary of a Serial Killer" and the Emmy Award-winning TV movie "The Movement." Belgian-born TINA VAN BERCKELAER, a Stanford University graduate, plays the annoying social climbing cousin Chick. Tina has appeared in several award-winning films and as a company member of The Pain and the Itch with The Theatre @ Boston Court.Director James O'Neil co-founded Rubicon Theatre Company in 1998 with his wife Karyl Lynn Burns. He received his BFA from California Institute of the Arts. Jim's Rubicon directing credits include Fiddler on the Roof (Indie Award), A Delicate Balance, The Diary of Anne Frank, Man of La Mancha, The Night of the Iguana, A Streetcar Named Desire (Indie Award), Driving Miss Daisy (NAACP Award), All My Sons (2004 Ovation Award for Best Production of a Play), Sylvia, The Glass Menagerie, Jesus Christ Superstar and numerous others. While on staff at Landmark Entertainment Group, Jim directed a multi-million dollar animatronics/special effects show in Japan, supervising all aspects of production and creative direction for themed attractions in Sanrio's Harmonyland. As Associate Producer/Artistic Associate for Santa Barbara Repertory Theatre, Jim helmed a new works program. History of the ProductionPlaywright Beth Henley had just moved to Los Angeles in 1978 when she completed CRIMES OF THE HEART. It was her first full-length play. Unbeknownst to Henley, a friend submitted the play to the Great American Play Contest sponsored by Actors Theatre in Louisville, Kentucky. She was the co-winner, and the play was produced as part of the prestigious theatre's 1978-1979 New American Play Festival and directed by Jon Jory. Several other regional theatres quickly announced productions.
In 1979, Ms. Henley was nominated for the Susan Smith Blackburn Award for her work on CRIMES OF THE HEART. She then made theatre history, becoming the first writer ever to win the Pulitzer Prize for a play before it had been produced on Broadway. At age 29, she was also the first woman playwright to win the award in 23 years.
CRIMES OF THE HEART premiered in New York at Manhattan Theatre Club for a limited, sold-out engagement of 32 performances in 1980. The show made its Broadway bow at the John Golden Theatre in November of 1981 under the direction of Melvin Bernhardt. The opening night cast included Mia Dillon, Mary Beth Hurt, Lizbeth MacKay, and Peter MacNicol. The show ran for more than 500 performances. Opening night Critic John Simon wrote that Crimes of the Heart "restores one's faith in our theatre." Frank Rich of the New York Times wrote: "Be grateful that we have a new writer from hurricane country who gives her characters room to spin and spin and spin."
CRIMES went on to win the New York Drama Circle Award for Best New American Play, the Guggenheim Award from Newsday, and a Tony nomination.
The play has been produced in London's West End and is now regarded as a classic representation of modern Southern Gothic literature.
The film version was released in 1986 under the direction of Bruce Beresford and starred Diane Keaton, Jessica Lange and Sissy Spacek. Actor/playwright Sam Shepard, whose work has been compared to Henley's, was also in the cast. Ms. Henley was nominated for an Academy Award for the screenplay.
A production at off-Broadway's Second Stage Theatre ran from April 16, 2001 to May 14, 2001. It was directed by Garry Hynes, and featured Julia Murney as Chick, who starred in Rubicon's World Premiere presentation of The Best is Yet to Come: The Music of Cy Coleman last summer. Other cast members included Enid Graham and Mary Catherine Garrison. The play was nominated for the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Revival of the season.
A Roundabout Theatre Company off-Broadway production, based on the 2007 Williamstown Theatre Festival production, was directed by Kathleen Turner. It ran February 14 to April 20, 2008 and featured Lily Rabe, Jennifer Dundas, Sarah Paulson and Jessica Stone.
More on the PlaywrightPlaywright Beth Henley was born Elizabeth Becker Henley in May, 1952 in Jackson, Mississippi (just 20 miles from Hazelhurst). She was the second of four daughters born to Charles Boyce, an attorney who would become a State Senator, and ElizaBeth Henley, an actress. It was her mother Lydie who first introduced the young Beth to the writings of Tennessee Williams, Eudora Welty and Anton Checkhov, all of whom were important influences on Henley's writing and on CRIMES OF THE HEART.Ms. Henley received her BFA from Southern Methodist University, where she began her first foray into writing with a one-act entitled Am I Blue? produced in 1974 at the Margo Jones Theatre. The play provided a glimpse of Ms. Henley's talent for creating quirky, interesting characters and darkly comic themes. In 1975, Ms. Henley entered the graduate program at the University of Illinois and taught acting.
Following CRIMES OF THE HEART, Ms. Henley wrote another comedy, The Miss Firecracker Contest, which premiered in L.A. in the spring of 1980 at the Victory Theatre. The play opened in New York in 1984 at the Manhattan Theatre Club and starred Holly Hunter (a champion of Henley's work and frequent collaborator) as a young woman who tap dances and twirls a baton to "The Star-Spangled Banner" in hopes of winning the "Miss Firecracker" beauty contest. The production ran for more than 200 performances. Ms. Henley adapted it into a screenplay which was released in 1989. The cast included Hunter, Tim Robbins, Mary Steenburgen, Scott Glenn, Alfre Woodard and Kathleen Chalfant. The director was Thomas Schlamme (Executive Producer of "West Wing").
The Wake of Jamey Foster (based on events surrounding the death of Ms. Henley's father) was first produced in 1982 at Hartford Stage before moving to Broadway later than year. The Debutante Ball was first produced at South Coast Rep in Costa Mesa in 1985 and opened in London in 1989. Set in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, the play was another slice of Southern life, set on the morning of the "coming out" party of a young socialite named Teddy Parker.
Williamstown Theatre Festival produced the debut of The Lucky Spot in 1986 which moved to City Centre Theatre in New York on Broadway in 1987. Abundance premiered in 1989 at South Coast Rep and played Off-Broadway at Manhattan Theatre Club as part of the 1990-1991 Season. Control Freaks was workshopped in Chicago in 1992 before premiering at the Met Theatre in L.A. in 1993, produced by Henley, Holly Hunter, and a group of friends including Ed Harris and Amy Madigan. The production marked Henley's directing debut. Signature had its World Premiere at Charlotte Rep in 1995. The play titled the L-Play (which premiered in 1996 as part of the Berkshire Theatre Festival), is really eight "mini-plays" in one that all start with the letter "L." Impossible Marriage debuted at the Roundabout in 1998. Written while Henley was pregnant with her first child, the play is set in Savannah, Georgia, and tells of a young bride named Pandora whose upcoming wedding is opposed by nearly every other character, including her older, very pregnant sister Floral, played by Holly Hunter. Alan Mandell was also a part of the original cast, under the directed by Stephen Wadsworth. Family Week opened Off-Broadway at the Century Theatre in 2000. It was Henley's most serious drama and was hailed by critics as a "moving tale of loss and missed connections." Holly Hunter again was the voice of the playwright; with Carol Kane also a key character.
Ms. Henley's most recent play Ridiculous Fraud was commissioned by the McCarter Theatre where it received raves from the New York Times. The play is about a group of dysfunctional characters who bolster their abilities to be "honest and true" with Jack Daniels and other assorted beverages. Reg Rogers and Tim DeKay headed the cast.
Ms. Henley has also written television and movie screenplays. She wrote multiple episodes of the series "Survival Guide" with Budge Threlkeld for PBS in 1985, which was followed by "Trying Times" in 1986, a half-hour sitcom. Cast members included Candice Bergen, Spalding Gray, Stockard Channing and others. Ms. Henley's film "Nobody's Fool" starring Rosanna Arquette, Eric Roberts and Mare Winningham came out in 1986. Other television projects include "Family Week" in 2000 and "It Must Be Love" in 2004. The latter starred Ojai residents Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen and Montecito resident Bonnie Bartlett. Ms. Henley co-wrote an offbeat comedy entitled "True Stories" with Stephen Tobolowsky and David Byrne, lead singer of the rock band the Talking Heads (who directed and co-wrote the script).Ms. Henley and her son Patrick currently live in Santa Monica.Rubicon Opens Design Exhibit During CRIMES OF THE HEARTSimultaneous to the opening of CRIMES OF THE HEART, Rubicon Theatre Company will open an exhibit of drawings, models, photographs, video clips and other displays of the work of three designers involved with the production: THOMAS S. GIAMARIO, Set and Lighting Designer, Marcy Froehlich, Costume Designer and T. THERESA SCARANO, Prop Designer.Says Rubicon Producing Artistic Director KARYL LYNN BURNS, who designs sound for this show, "We realized that these three designers have each designed nearly a third of the Rubicon shows, and that our community and audience members may not know the full depth of their commitment to the company and the diversity of their work. We owe them (and our Production Manager CHRISTINA BURCK and Technical Director David King) a tremendous debt of gratitude for their commitment to excellence.""Our hope with this exhibit," continues Burns, "is to honor and celebrate their achievements."This production marks THOMAS S. GIAMARIO'S 30th design with the company (he is creating both the sets and lights for CRIMES OF THE HEART). Tom designed Rubicon's first in-house, fully produced show THE LITTLE FOXES.

Marcy Froehlich has designed 17 shows at Rubicon. The broad scope of her work includes The Importance of Being Earnest, Hamlet, Man of La Mancha and the full BeckettFest. Prop designer T. THERESA SCARANO has created 32 designs for Rubicon. In this season alone, she has created props for the World Premiere of Daddy Long Legs, Trying and Doubt.The exhibit will open at 6:00 p.m. prior to the April 24th gala with a reception honoring the three designers before the 7:00 p.m. performance.

Household Mold: Icky and Costly
Jun 24, 2013
Richard Tan of Orlando, Florida, knows the health risks of black mold firsthand. He lost two family members and his mother was badly sickened before black mold was found behind their home's air conditioning unit. A certified mold assessor and building inspector who frequently testifies in the courtroom, Tan admits that when it comes to mold, he's not objective: "Mold kills—people don't realize it's a very serious problem," he says.
Mold grows everywhere in the U.S. but is most prevalent during the summer in the Southeast and in Northern states (even Alaska!) during the winter. Mold grows outside on wood and plants and enters our homes, offices, and commercial buildings when we open windows and doors. Most molds need moisture and grow in damp, dark places like under a leaking pipe.
But with some molds, moisture is not necessary. "Molds can grow in perfectly dry basements, especially when it's humid or rains frequently," notes Rick Brownlee, owner of Floodmasters in Rockville, Maryland.
Seek and Destroy
When it comes to detecting mold, let your nose lead the way.
Tour your home, especially closed off areas (like closets and basements) and take a deep breath. Molds give off a musky odor that you'll detect (depending on the type of mold) and will look like spots climbing up a wall or running through carpeting.
Another approach uses your memory. How do you feel in certain areas of your home or office? Do you get headaches? Have an allergic reaction? "Those can be signs that you're encountering mold, even if you can't see it," Tan explains. In a large office building, for example, the air conditioning could circulate mold from a basement to every floor.
You've Got Mold!
If mold is found in a small area, Brownlee recommends cleaning with a bleach solution of no more than 1 cup of bleach in 1 gallon of water. But if you suspect black mold (which is highly toxic) or the mold has spread into the sheetrock, bring in a professional.
Brownlee recommends using a licensed, certified, and insured mold inspector who will perform indoor air quality assessments and provide you with detailed written reports, including certified laboratory results on the type of mold found. And to control future mold growth inside your home:
- Keep humidity levels between 40% and 60%
- Promptly fix leaky roofs, windows, and pipes
- Thoroughly clean and dry your home after flooding
- Properly ventilate your shower, laundry, and cooking areas
Risky Business
If you are evaluating a property, be aware of musty odors and look for signs of water damage. Check carpeting, baseboards, and other surfaces carefully. If you see mold, carefully consider the health and financial risks you could be taking. "We've had instances where someone buys a foreclosure property only to find it's full of mold and has to spend a lot of money tearing out walls and floors," says Tan. "That's something you really want to avoid."
What's most important, experts say, is to take action immediately when you see or smell mold.

Like Oh My God: Valley Cheese
A lovely cheese plate purchased at The Artisan Cheese Gallery in Studio City. Artisan is a fine little cheese shop with a nice selection. They also serve great looking sandwiches, which I will have to try on another visit. If you are a Valleyite and can't get down to Beverly Hills or Silverlake, I would definitely recommend Artisan.
Again, moving clockwise from 12:00 on the cheese plate, we have:
Echo Mountain Blue, A mixed milk (goat and cow) blue cheese.
Rogue Creamery, Central Point, Oregon.
Rogue Creamery, named after Oregon's Rogue River, makes a number of great blue cheeses. I'm a big fan of their creamy Rogue River Blue which has huge flavor. This Echo Mountain, which I'd never tried before, is a creamy blue with a mild flavor. Despite the use of mixed milk, there is not much of a goat cheese flavor. I enjoyed this with honey or a touch of fig jam.
Sablé du Boulonnais, a French cow cheese.
This was the first time for me with this pungent washed rind cheese from the far northern reaches of France. This is a high stinker. The rind is a bit overwhelming for me, as is often the case with the high stink family. The cheese itself has a dense, nutty quality, having some of the properties of a Taleggio but none of the subtlety of that cheese. The texture is soft but not liquid, holding its form at room temperature. This was an interesting cheese but not a favorite.
Wensleydale, an English cow cheese.
I love British firm cheeses; the Cheddars and Cheshires that crumble at your touch, taste of salt and white wine and pair so well with sweet wine, strong ale and hard cider. Wensleydale is in this family. It has a strong, salty, somewhat barny taste and a tart finish. I've always been a fan but hadn't had it in a while. It was worth going back to.
Haystack Peak, goat cheese.
Haystack Mountain Goat Dairy, Longmont, Colorado.
This Colorado goat cheese, aged to perfection, was the star of the plate. A bloomy rind cheese (meaning it had a soft, white rind like brie), the cheese was at the perfect ooze stage in which you don't cut it so much as scoop it. It has a smooth goat flavor, much more subtle and complex than some goats. This is definitely one of the best goats I've had. I must try some of the other offerings from this Colorado dairy!
Overall, a nice diverse cheese plate, touching three nations and two animals. The cheese was served with a Los Feliz bakery sourdough boule, a selection of farmers' market fruit and a glass of Trader Joe's late harvest Moscato dessert wine.

Ask them for Gour Noir (raw goat's milk cheese from La France); if they don't have it ask them to get it for you. Trust me on this.

Rain fails to dampen spirits at U.S. Paralympic Trials - Equestrian
Grade Ia
Grade Ib
Grade II:
As the second day concluded Rebecca Hart (Unionville, Pa.) inched ahead of Donna Ponessa (New Windsor, N.Y.), and 2011 National Champion Jonathan Wentz (Richardson, Texas). With only the Freestyle competition left to secure four spots on the U.S. Paralympic Team headed to London, riders hope to continue earning supreme scores. Currently Rebecca Hart, Donna Ponessa, Jonathan Wentz, and Dale Dedrick (Ann Arbor, Mich.) have remained in the top four of the standings.
Rebecca Hart, 26, and Lord Ludger excelled in the Grade II Team Test earning a 73.968% aboard the Holsteiner gelding. Hart showcased her test when the rain became a downpour but Hart remained determined and relaxed. "I owe my grippy gloves to sticky spray," chuckled Hart. "The reins get quite slippery in a rain like this and with two whips, and two reins it gets difficult to hold onto everything if it's wet. However, the rain was not a factor on how LoLu performed." Having all types of situations occur within an atmosphere like the Selection Trials gives the riders experiences they can grow from before heading to a large show like the Paralympics."
Under Blue Hill Farm's instruction with Missy and Jessica Ransehousen, Hart has achieved four National Champions, represented the U.S. at the 2008 Paralympics and 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, and she has traveled the world including a trip to Australia for international Para-Equestrian competition. Riding continues to help Rebecca strengthen and condition her body against a rare genetic disease called Familial Spastic Paraplegia.
"Riding makes a huge difference with my disability," Hart explained. "Doctors call me an 'upside down paraplegic' because based on my scans they cannot see how I could even walk, let alone ride. However my physical therapy, training with a personal trainer, and constantly riding helps to strengthen and condition my muscles."
Donna Ponessa added, "I am way ahead of the curve with my disease progression like Rebecca and Doctors say it is because of riding and my determination."
Ponessa has gone from a wide-eyed brand new Para-Equestrian in March 2011 to one of the top Para-Equestrians in the United States. Alongside FEI rider and trainer Wes Dunham, Ponessa has climbed the ranks to achieve supreme scores in the Grade Ia division.
On the first day of competition at the USET Headquarters Ponessa went one-two with Western Rose, owned by Wes Dunham. Western Rose was followed by PG Ganda, on loan from Vinceremos Therapeutic Riding Center. On the second day of competition the ex-Canadian show jumper, PG Ganda and Ponessa secured a 73% to take home the first place followed by Western Rose.
In Grade II, Jonathan Wentz, 21, replicated Ponessa on day one securing a one-two placing with Silvano, owned by Dr. Michele Miles in one and NTEC Richter Scale in second. During the individual competition NTEC Richter Scale, owned by Kai Handt, earned the win with a 72.899% followed by the ex-World Cup jumper, Silvano.
To be competing at the 2012 U.S. Paralympic Trials is a goal Jonathan Wentz decided to capture from 13 years of age. After growing out of the therapeutic riding programs Wentz found Kai Handt and North Texas Equestrian Center. Handt and his wife run a successful Dressage barn in Wylie, TX and compete on the FEI level around the world. Handt enjoyed challenging Wentz each week when they began working together and he never went easy on 6'3" young rider. Wentz has emulated Handt's desire strive for the best results and not accept an average performance.
Daled Dedrick has accompanied Wentz as a U.S. team member as they campaigned over the 2011 year. Dedrick's mount Bonifatius has been essential to the United States Para-Equestrian Team. Dedrick has been a lifelong horsewoman and was even part of the 1986 U.S. Olympic Festival Team. Dedrick joined the Para-Equestrian competition in June 2011 as a Grade II rider and hit the ground running earning the 2011 USEF Para-Equestrian Dressage Reserve National Championship. Dedrick trains her grey 14-year-old Hanoverian gelding in Michigan with Rosalind Kinstler "Roz". Dedrick is currently ranked fourth among her competitors and has a very good chance she may earn a spot on the 2012 Paralympic Team.
In Grade III, Wendy Fryke of Parker, CO and Lateran achieved top scores during Tuesday's competition. The 2010 World Equestrian Games member continues to excel in front of the international judges. Fellow 2010 World Equestrian Games teammate Mary Jordan of Wells, ME and Deecie Denison's gelding, Sebastian, earned the top placing in Grade IV. Jordan went one-two riding her mare P. Sparrow Socks to a second place finish.
The 2012 Paralympic Selection Trials and 2012 USEF Para-Equestrian Dressage National Championships finalize competition on Wednesday with the exciting Freestyle Tests. Each horse and rider combination will complete their Grade's technical requirements using a previous selected piece of music. The Freestyle Test is the last 20% of each rider's overall score and will be evaluated by FEI Ground Jury members, Carlos Lopes (5*) POR, Anne Prain (5*) FRA, and Marc Urban (5*) BEL. An awards ceremony will follow Wednesday's competition at the USET Headquarters in Gladstone, N.J.

UEFA Europa League contenders Bayer 04 Leverkusen have signed free agent Sebastian Boenisch with immediate effect to help counter their current injury woes.
The versatile defender, who was with SV Werder Bremen until the end of last season, has signed for the Werkself until the end of the current campaign. Leverkusen's general manager Wolfgang Holzhäuser said: "We have adequately reacted to the injuries of recent days and weeks. Sebastian Boenisch is an experienced Bundesliga player who will help us immediately."
Following injuries to Michal Kadlec and Daniel Schwaab, the 25-year-old Boenisch will bolster coach Sascha Lewandowski's defensive options. "This is a huge chance for me," said the Polish international. "I am highly motivated and will do everything to make sure the club reach their goals."
Leverkusen currently top UEFA Europa League Group K with two victories and one draw from the opening three matches, and will host SK Rapid Wien on matchday four on Thursday.

Poor Waste Management Sparks Protests in Naples
Trouble has flared in Naples, Italy as anger grows over inadequate dumping sites suspected of causing harm to human health.
Credit: Reuters/Agnfoto
Trouble has flared in Naples, Italy as anger grows over inadequate dumping sites suspected of causing harm to human health, report Reuters.
After days of clashes between police and residents, and newspaper headlines dominated by pictures of festering rubbish, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has promised to spend 14 million Euros to upgrade the Terzigno dump and said there was no threat to public health from the site.
One local resident, Langella says her toddler often vomits and she blames this on the foul smell and toxic waste piling up in a rubbish dump near her house in Terzigno, on the outskirts of Naples where the streets are strewn with mounds of garbage.
"We have to keep the children inside, with the doors and windows shut, but even then it's not enough," she told Reuters. "It's terrible. The state has abandoned us."
According to Reuters the dump was opened last year as a stop-gap solution for rubbish from Italy's third largest city, where organised crime, inefficiency and political opportunism have turned waste disposal into a chronic emergency.
It is already full and plans to open a new one have provoked protests.
Residents of the town on the fringes of a national park at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, the volcano overlooking the Bay of Naples, are worried and sceptical.
"The stench is bothering us but that's the lesser evil. The most important thing is that we are dying here, there is leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma, the most horrible diseases," teacher Anna De Vincenzo told Reuters.
Medical experts say it can be difficult to assess the extent to which pollution is to blame for illnesses that are also caused by genetic, socio-economic and lifestyle factors.
There is evidence that parts of Naples and its bleak hinterland have been steadily contaminated by decades of illegal waste dumping and burning.
Triangle of Death
The medical journal Lancet Oncology in 2004 dubbed part of the Campania region, of which Naples is the capital, "the triangle of death" because the air, soil and water were polluted by high levels of cancer-causing toxins believed to have come from the waste.
Research in 2007 by Italy's National Research Council found that, among people living closest to the least regulated waste disposal sites, where trash is dumped in fields or burnt without controls, the mortality rate was between 9% and 12% higher than the norm.
Fatal liver cancers were also more common in the highest risk areas, according to the study, although it said more than half the places studied in the region did not show abnormal health problems.
A state of emergency over Naples' garbage was first declared in 1994 and successive governments appointed a series of "trash tsars" to tackle the problem.
Political ineptitude, corruption and the influence of the Camorra - the Naples version of the Sicilian mafia - have prevented the creation of a modern, safe waste disposal system.
Separate waste collection for recycling in Naples accounts for just 15% of the total, one of the lowest rates in Italy. People despair of politicians and do not trust government schemes aimed at ending the crisis.
Like many in the region, people in Terzigno say their landfill is not managed properly and has become a dumping ground for hazardous waste, some of it from other parts of Italy.
"We see the garbage trucks coming in at night and dumping everything in the landfill, toxic waste, hospital waste," said Michele Amoruso, a 41-year-old tax lawyer.
Central to the problem is also the role of the Camorra, which makes a fortune from the illegal disposal and burning of industrial waste.
"The Camorra is a crucial player in the whole cycle of industrial waste, particularly in the transport of toxic waste from the north of Italy," said Pasquale Raia of the environmentalist group Legambiente.

This is a lesson about the path meteorites take to get from the asteroid belt to Earth and how rare it is for the Earth to be hit by a large asteroid. Three activities comprise the lesson. Learners will draw circles and ellipses to illustrate basic shapes of orbits in the solar system (Activity A); construct a scale-model of the inner solar system, observe relative distances and sizes, plot paths meteoroids might take and manipulate models to demonstrate the ecliptic plane (Activity B); and graph the locations of Earth and a near-earth asteroid, observe the significance of time and space, and estimate when the asteroid might cross the orbit of Earth (Activity C). Activities, vocabulary words, and experimental extensions are included. This is Lesson 4 of 19 in Exploring Meteorite Mysteries.

However, for the ease of the project, we will deliver the content in English and translate.
This brochure will be marketed to a low literacy Spanish-speaking population. We are looking for something catchy, which uses pictures to share our message.
The goal of this brochure is to share the information (provided in the attached word document). All of the content is required. However, there is flexibility in terms of layout. We look for creativity in emphasizing the words with pictures. The goal is a professional brochure that will spread a heart healthy message.
We are looking for:
1. A simple yet professional design
2. Document should bleed to edge
3. four-fold brochure preferred; legal size paper (open to other options)
4. Any pictures of people should be representative of a Hispanic/Latino population
5. Creativity is a plus!!
This document will need to be translated into Spanish. Therefore, document must be delivered in an editable format.
The organization logo must be presented on the back panel of the brochure. It may appear in green or black and white/gray and white.

Please pray for me. I am in a grieving process right now that is hard to leave me, that I'm unable to get over. I wish not to share details. I just plead that you pray for me.
If you spend long enough on this forum, you'll come away with all sorts of weird, untrue ideas of Orthodox Christianity.
I would suggest most persons in general avoid any question beginning with why.
The Episcopallian road is easy and wide, for many go through it to find destruction. lol sorry channeling Isa.
...you can imagine so-called healing services of the pigpen. The books that could be written, you know: Life in the Pigpen. How to Cope in the Pigpen. Being Happy in the Pigpen. Surviving in the Pigpen. And then there could be counselling, for people who feel unhappy in the pigpen, to try to get them to come to terms with the pigpen, and to accept the pigpen.

INTERNATIONAL. On June 7, we were able to obtain some pictures of the outside of the mosque and the inside of the mosque where the attack happened.
And as we've looked at these pictures very closely, it's enabled us to ascertain that it was indeed and improvised explosive device (IED) used in the attack not some sort of military munition like a mortar round or a tank-guided missile.
What I want to do now is walk through some of the photos that we have obtained, and I want to describe the types of things you look for as a post-blast investigator when you're looking at the photos.
Of course, photos are limited, and there is nothing like being and investigator on the ground where you can actually look, smell and experience the crime scene. But still, there is a lot that can be determined from the photos.
The first photo we obtained yesterday was a photograph of the outside of the mosque showing the damage that had been done there. And as we started looking at this photo, one of the things that struck us was, if you look at the way the blocks fell off the building, it really appears that they were pushed outward, and not some sort of impact from the outside.
Indeed, when you have an impact of something like a recoilless rifle round or a missile, generally you have a smaller impact on the outside and larger divot on the inside. So, showing this, it really indicated to us that the force of the blast was coming from the inside out rather than from the opposite way around.
Of course, also when you look at the window frames that are protruding from these windows you can also see that the force of the blast was coming out, not inward into the building.
This photo now is showing a little bit of a closer view of the inside, and one of the things that immediately draw your eye is that small hole, or divot, in the concrete wall there. That is likely the place where the device was planted. And just from looking at the architecture of the things around there, the way the minbar was set up in the mosque, it would appear that what we have was an IED that was placed perhaps behind something that was fixed to the wall somehow.
One of the things to remember is that as an explosive detonates, it wants to send an equal force in all directions. We see this is this picture. Just look at the pattern of the residue on the wall there, the black soot and even the debris in the room; you can tell that it is radiating from that point on the wall.
Of course, one of the first things we would want to do if we were doing a post-blast investigation here is to swab that residue right there where the hole is. So you would swab that, keep those swabs in an airtight container and get them back to the lab. Just looking at the damage that was done, and the color of the black residue we have on the walls there, it would be my guess that we have some sort of military-grade explosive involved.
I would say something like TNT, perhaps Semtex. Another thing to look it is, as we see the damage — and another thing indicates to us that this was a military explosive — is that you have a shattering or a breaking of things instead of a thrusting.
The commercial-grade explosive, stuff like ammonium nitrate, dynamite or blasting gels, they have a tendency to shove or thrust and push things, whereas the military-grade explosive has a much higher detonation velocity and tends to shatter things or break things rather than push them.
This next photo is interesting in that it shows a more distanced view of the scene of the explosion from the other side of the room. As we look at these pillars, as we look at the walls, I'm not seeing a lot of signs of intentional fragmentation like you would see in a hand grenade or a claymore mine.
This was likely not an anti-personnel mine; it was probably a bulk charge of explosives, and it probably didn't have nuts or bolts or ball bearings added to it as shrapnel.
We have received reports as well that there had been some sort of accelerant added to the charge, something like napalm or gasoline that then burned the president and injured him that way. However, if we look at the scene, the charring that happens there — that black residue — was really from the explosion itself, and that's explosive residue.
As we look at the wood not only at the minbar but also on the carpeting of the floor of the mosque, there is no indication whatsoever that we had any napalm or gasoline added to the charge.
Indeed, if there is any burn, it would have been from the heat reaction of the explosives themselves. Explosives burn very quickly, and they do have a heat effect; objects that are in very close contact with the explosives will often times be charred, and the hot gasses that come off the explosives, especially things like military explosives, will often char and pit — even hardened steels.
One other thing to consider is, as we look at the placement of this device, it was done by someone who knew Saleh's routine. It was done by someone who knew the compound. Another thing to remember is that there have been hostilities going on now for weeks between Saleh's supporters and his opponents and the protesters.
Because of this, because of the exchange of fire that has happened and the hostilities, the guard at this presidential palace compound would have been up. This indicates to us that it is likely that this was an inside job.

I really liked this. For our athiest members: Don't get the wrong idea. This is in no way intended to kick off an argument about the existence of God. It's one man's experience, and I found it uplifting.
I don't have 40 minutes of bandwidth to burn, but I can tell you from experience, that death is merely an interlude back to life.My personal opinion is that what we perceive as life is nothing more than a stopping off point in a long journey.I've died more than once, and remember how I was happy to be free of my earthly body.
Quick question before I decide to watch it or not; is this supposed to be inspirational to atheists or Christians? Or both? Just curious since you made the disclaimer about not wanting it to turn into a debate.
I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say you have died more than once...care to elaborate?
Inspirational is in the mind of the beholder, let your conscience be your guide.
If you happen to be an athiest, I wouldn't think that it would be offensive. It's a guy relating his experience during a very near death experience, if not a full death experience. If you are offended by the mere mention of God, I would suggest that you skip it.
Yes, I know, but I wanted to ask first because I don't watch every 40 minute video posted on the web. Well no of course not. It would depend on the context and the types of claims he is making.
Something I would expect to see on the History Channel? He was saved by aliens then....I only got half way through it before I had to run off and do something else, so I don't have much to say about it yet.
Is this considered normal etiquette for you or this forum? Have I done something overly offensive that I'm unaware of?

Fatdoor is the kind of neighborhood social network that would work perfectly in a small, tech-friendly town like Palo Alto, in the heart of Silicon Valley. Founder Raj Abhyanker envisions a day when neighbors don't just send each other warning messages about crime, but also use rovers to deliver food or medicine to the townspeople and personal drones to film block parties or perform aerial formations.
Abhyanker's ambitious concept launched Tuesday in Palo Alto as a marriage of social networking and robotics. The social network part is easy: Fatdoor uses your verified home address and your phone's trusted location to let you broadcast messages to your neighborhood (or the neighborhood you're in at the time). The network is accessible on your desktop or on iOS and Android phones.
Your friendly neighborhood robots
The robotic elements set Fatdoor apart from other conventional networks. The Bot Appetit is a 3-foot-high rover that moves along sidewalks at a leisurely pace. The rover is connected to the Fatdoor social network and designed to be controlled by your smartphone using both Wi-Fi and 3G. Abhyanker wants cities to purchase Bot Appetits to be shared by the community. Its first use case: food delivery.
"By the end of the year we want Bot Appetit to be completely autonomous so people in Palo Alto can order and have food delivered," Abhyanker said. "It's kind of like an electric bike rack. Here we'd like to see a world where there are seven autonomous Bot Appetits that are shared by the whole neighborhood."
Abhyanker's vision extends farther than shared rovers—he dreams of a day when every resident owns a personal rover that they park next to their car in the garage. When you leave for work in the morning, your rover will go off to run your errands. But that's a long way off. I'm not sure Fatdoor's rovers and quadcopters would fly in any other town, but Palo Alto residents' reactions will serve as an interesting case study. Fatdoor is reaching out to other small, Palo Alto-like towns across the country to pilot the Bot Appetit.
Then there's the Skyteboard, a 3G-connected quadcopter equipped with two cameras so you can stream video to the Fatdoor network. Those aren't for sharing: Fatdoor launched a Kickstarter on Tuesday to raise $300,000, which will go toward producing and shipping the Skyteboards by winter. If you want your own, you can donate to Fatdoor's project or pony up $1,099 when the quadcopter goes on sale. Just don't call it a drone.
"IDEO created a product design that's friendly, it looks like a skateboard," Abhyanker said. "When it's flying in the sky it doesn't look like it's going to kill you, it looks like part of the neighborhood."
What people want
Talking to Abhyanker, I had to ask: What makes him think neighbors would want to use robots as part of their social networking habits? Part of his inspiration is a personal commitment to Fatdoor, which first launched as a neighborhood network in 2006. Abhyanker had to leave the company in 2008, and after Fatdoor evolved into a concept called The Dealmap, Google purchased it in 2011. Abhyanker went on to launch an intellectual property site called Trademarkia, but decided he wanted to relaunch his original concept—this time with robots.
"It seems like they're two isolated spheres: People who do aeronautics and robots are different from people who do social networks," Abhyanker said. "Being right here in the middle of Palo Alto, I decided to resurrect the company by merging skillsets of different disciplines to create something new. Robots are interesting but they're not useful. To make them useful, they have to be shared."
But do neighbors really want to share robots? Only Palo Alto residents get a chance to choose for now.
This story, "New social network Fatdoor uses robots to connect neighbors (yes, really)" was originally published by TechHive.

I started in newspaper newsrooms, moved to magazines so I could write longer features, and then shifted into book writing. Today, I supplement book writing with freelance magazine features, newspaper op-ed pieces and book reviews. I've written on a wide variety of topics, including the biography of Bill Cosby, criminal justice, the environment and I have even written humor.
I am currently researching and writing a biography of Garry Trudeau, under contract to a major publisher.
My previously published books include:
- Taking on the Trust, a dual biography of Ida Tarbell and John D. Rockefeller (W.W. Norton, 2008);
- Trade Secrets of Washington Journalists, a guide to journalism in Washington, D.C. (Acropolis, 1981);
- Armand Hammer: The Untold Story, a biography of Armand Hammer (Little, Brown, 1989);
- Telling the Untold Story, a guide to reading and writing biography, (University of Missouri Press, 1992);
- The Reporter's Handbook: An Investigator's Guide to Documents and Techniques, published by St. Martin's Press and commissioned by Investigative Reporters and Editors, 1996;
- A Journalism of Humanity, the centennial history of the Missouri School of Journalism, (University of Missouri Press, 2008).
Prior to retiring in 2010 to pay undivided attention to my freelance reporting and writing, I taught in-depth reporting/writing courses, courses related to covering the criminal justice system as part of an innocence project at the University of Missouri, and a reviewing/criticism course.
I graduated from the Missouri School of Journalism in 1970, returned later for a master's degree and joined its faculty in 1978 as director of its Washington, D.C., reporting program. In 1983, I moved to Columbia, Mo., to serve as executive director of Investigative Reporters and Editors, Inc., a professional organization with thousands of members that is headquartered at the School. I stepped aside as IRE executive director in 1990, and continue to contribute to IRE's magazine as a writer and copyeditor.
I am the father of two grown children, one of whom graduated from the Missouri Journalism School in 2002.

By Alfred Opp
Edited by Connnie Dahlke, Walla Walla, Washington
My childhood memory is that my parents set up a
Christmas tree in our house every year in Teplitz,
Bessarabia and so also did my Grandparents in their
house. In Bessarabia we had no forests of any kind.
From what I have read and also been told, in the early
days people with means pooled their money together
and persons were chosen who then traveled to Odessa
to purchase Christmas trees. Once Bessarabia became
part of Romania (1918), trees for Christmas were brought
in to Teplitz from Siebenbuergen in Romania.
Christmas was always a special time for us and followed the well preserved customs of the traditional fest. In our family, especially at my Grandparents' house, Christmas time started on December 6th with the celebration of Nicolaus Tag. Not every home celebrated this, but for me it was a special day to remember. Dressed in a Bishop's garb, Saint Nicolaus was so kind and giving. We had to recite a prayer or sing a song to please the Saint who always gave us an apple and cookies in a colorful bag. One has to remember that getting apples in December was rare, so for us this was a real treat. For us kids the weeks leading up to Christmas were wonderful as we watched mother baking Christmas treats and both our parents working behind the scenes to get everything ready.
We were not allowed to see the Christmas tree until 8 PM on Christmas Eve. Oh, was the waiting long! When mother finally opened the door to the parlor the sight and the smell of the candles was heavenly. Mom and Dad, along with our Grandparents took a seat by the tree to sing Christmas carols. Then came "Pelzamerde" with a rod to remind us kids to be brave and obedient to our parents. "Oh yes, we were 'Pelzamerde' very well now! Let me hear you say a Gedichtchen (verse) to me." So many times I got stuck on reciting the verse because of excitement. "Your grandparents told me that you behaved, and that was good, now I give you a gift for being a good boy."
After he left, one called "Christkindle" came. She usually was played by my Aunt Maria. She was so sweet, covered in a veil, and she gave us kids sweets to eat. After that it was time to focus on the gifts underneath the tree. Our gifts were wrapped - wealthy parents used fancy paper and poorer families might only have brown paper, but the excitement was the same in all families. We first opened up the packages that didn't feel like socks!
In our family, we didn't have the luxury of receiving expensive gifts as there wasn't enough money to go around. I remember getting a flashlight once. Was I happy! In appreciating little we were rich.
I wish everybody out there a Merry Christmas.
