Life interrupted
I travel 500 miles from Springfield to Little Rock, Ark., to tack a note on the conference message board: "I would like to talk with anyone from Rohwer who knew Shizu Yoshimura, Ayako Arishita, or the Nagatanis. Please contact Yosh Golden . . . ."
Some 600 people are expected, but more than 1,300 register for "Camp Connections: A Conversation about Civil Rights and Social Justice in Arkansas," a conference that developed out of a three-year project between the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and the Japanese American National Museum. Funded by the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation, the project examines the Japanese-American experience in Arkansas during World War II.
The late-September conference, which draws many elderly Japanese-Americans to Little Rock, provides the backdrop to my search for anyone who might have known my paternal grandmother, Shizu Yoshimura; an aunt, Ayako Aono Arishita; or anyone from my Uncle John Nagatani's family. All were rounded up in California and incarcerated in the Jerome and Rohwer concentration camps in the Mississippi Delta of southeastern Arkansas during World War II.
Over five days, conferees share the sad indelible memories that were triggered by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and Executive Order 9066, in which President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the internment of more than 110,000 Japanese-Americans beginning in 1942.
Barbara Futumachi Newman of Cincinnati describes how her father took his cherished pet dog to a co-worker for safekeeping, only to see the man pull a gun and kill the dog on the spot. Others speak of fathers and grandfathers who were taken away at night and did not return for months or years, of funerals and burials of parents and infants at Jerome and Rohwer, of young men who died while serving with the 442nd Regimental Combat Team in the hope that their demonstration of patriotism would win the early release of their families from the camps. The Masada family describes how vigilantes' gunshots tore through their home at midnight within a month of their return to California from Rohwer. Other conferees who left childhood friends behind while they were incarcerated describe never being able to trust again.
The central event of the gathering, which draws so many people from nearly every state in the United States, plus Canada and Japan, begins at 7 a.m. Sept. 23, when some 150 conferees board buses for the two-hour ride to Jerome. During the trip down state highways 65 and 165, Time of Fear, a documentary set for national broadcast on PBS next spring, is shown on the buses. The film recalls events beginning with Pearl Harbor and stretching to the incarceration of more than 16,000 in two camps created practically overnight in southeastern Arkansas. Townspeople who remained in the area are candid about their resentment and fear at having the Jerome and Rohwer concentration camps in their midst. In turn, one of the internees interviewed in the documentary, Sam Ozaki of Chicago, says he wished "I didn't have this face."
We pass fields of harvest-ready soybeans and cotton, swamps, a catfish farm, weathered towns waiting for economic renewal. The travelers, especially the elderly, become more animated as we draw closer to the camp sites. Retired Col. Harry Fukuhara, 84, of San Jose, Calif., is seeing the Jerome and Rohwer sites for the first time. Fukuhara served two years with the Military Intelligence Service, in the 33rd Infantry Division, which was formed in December 1942, before the famed 442nd RCT was organized. Fukuhara described how "young men were recruited out of the camps and used as translators and decoders" in the Pacific war arena. He led a 10-man team which doubled in size just before the planned invasion of Japan. But the dropping of the atom bombs ended the war and Fukuhara returned to live with family in Chicago for a few years.
The air-conditioned buses in which we ride are quiet and comfortable; 60 years ago, the people removed from Hawaii and California rode on hot, cramped military trains. For four days and nights they sat, old and young, even while sleeping, or trying to sleep. I wonder what my slight, timid grandmother was thinking as she rode the train; I wonder whether shy Aunt Ayako was too scared to speak to strangers from so many different California cities, their only shared bond their Japanese ancestry.
Among the first to get off the bus in Jerome is George Nakano, a California assemblyman who represents the state's 53rd District. He and a friend who was also interned in Jerome raised funds to erect the Jerome Relocation Camp monument, one of just two visible reminders that 8,497 persons of Japanese ancestry were once incarcerated here. The other is a tall but decaying boiler-room smokestack many fields away. "This place used to be surrounded by trees," Nakano says. The trees are gone, and now there are only cotton and soybeans. Rice is the other major crop grown in the area.
Harry Kitahata, a spry 83-year-old from Newport Beach, Calif., stands for a few minutes by the monument, gathering his memories: "I was 17 at the time. I was sent to Santa Anita [a California racetrack that served as an assembly center where families were housed in stables] for seven months and then to Jerome. I was in Jerome about four months. It was a five-day trip. There were 10 [train] cars, 50 to 60 people in each car."
Once off the buses, conferees walk across the highway and look up and down the endless railroad tracks, trying to gauge the state of mind and heart of family members who were taken under military escort to this strange, hostile place. Among the 16,000 Japanese-Americans sent to Arkansas were 811 rounded up in Hawaii and shipped to Oakland, Calif., where they joined people from the West Coast on military trains headed east.
As we reboard the buses to travel to our lunch site, Irene Katooka, a 78-year-old returnee, remarks, "What could we do? It was 'Gaman . . . gambate,' -- 'Just bear it.'"
After a quick lunch of fried catfish, hushpuppies, French fries, apple fritters, and coleslaw, we ride for 30 minutes to Desha County, site of the Rohwer Relocation Center, which opened on Sept. 18, 1942, and held 8,475 inmates. During the bus ride, Lisa Sasaki, museum educator at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles, says that, after Rohwer, her grandfather "never wanted to eat curry" because that seasoning was used in the camp to cover the taste of meat "going bad."
The returnees stop at its cemetery of 24 headstones, two crumbling camp-era monuments, and two recent monuments, one signifying the site's National Historic Landmark designation. Some of the headstones are inscribed with Christian crosses. At the southeast corner are three headstones for infants: Masaki, infant, 1942; Tasugi, infant, 1943; Sano, infant, 1943. For several minutes, Barbara Futumachi Newman crouches and prays for these three, left behind more than 60 years ago.
I ask, without success, whether fellow riders remember the names I tacked on the message board back at the hotel in Little Rock. But four days are left in the conference, so I remain hopeful.
On the return to Little Rock, another film is shown, but by its end, most of the conferees' gray heads are nodding or slumped in deep sleep. It's been a long day and a long journey: many memories, many mixed emotions, strangers making friends, inmates being reunited. We ride in silent comfort as the sun sets.
Conference events on Friday, Sept. 24, begin at the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History, where exhibits examine the plight of the internees and commemorate the heroism of Japanese-American soldiers in World War II are to open.
Before the exhibit openings, some 800 people, gathered under a tent in front of the museum, hear U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, a Medal of Honor recipient, speak of the "Go for Broke" soldiers, some of the 25,000 Japanese-Americans who served in World War II. He recounts the bravery of Japanese-Americans who saved the "Lost Battalion" of Texans, the breaking of the Gothic Line, and the Japanese-American soldiers of the 522nd Field Artillery Battalion who were among the first to enter the Dachau death camp.
The fact that Japanese-American soldiers whose families were incarcerated in concentration camps back in the United States liberated victims of a Nazi death camp in Germany remained a military secret until some 15 years ago, Inouye says, when Dachau survivors came to this country to thank the soldiers. The survivors searched among the assembled group and then asked for the men with "Mongolian" faces whom they remembered from that long-ago first meeting. The "public-relations problem" was no longer a classified secret, Inouye said.
Inouye's remarks about the courage of young Japanese-American soldiers was echoed the next day by actor George Takei ("Mr. Sulu" from Star Trek). Takei, who spent his childhood at Rohwer and at Tule Lake in northern California, said, "These men showed that Japanese-Americans have a burning passion for justice and the guts to show it.
"This heritage is part of our larger American heritage," Takei continued. "America is a continuing story . . . a dynamic work in progress. This is the glory and challenge of our American heritage."
On Friday afternoon we attend the official opening of two additional exhibits that artfully memorialize the 10 camps, including Manzanar, the one in which I was born. I study a photographic enlargement of Manzanar's layout and consider the distances from Block 20, Building 2 -- my first home -- to various camp buildings. I think of my mother, then 23, walking nearly a half-mile of dusty desert road to the hospital to give birth to me. Enduring a long, difficult labor, she did not have the comfort of her mother, who was living in Hiroshima, or her older sister, Ayako, who had been taken to Rohwer, a camp somewhere in the middle of the United States. I wonder how my mother cared for a newborn in that tarpaper barrack, with the latrines, laundry room, and kitchen several buildings away.
Saturday is filled by dozens of well-planned discussion sessions. I listen as speakers describe their childhoods in Jerome and Rohwer. I am still searching for family, trying to capture a sense of my now-deceased older brother, John. John was just 18 months old when he went into the camp and 4 years old when he was able to finally leave. Some Vietnam veterans who attended John's funeral at Arlington National Cemetery -- with horse-drawn caisson, marching band, and 21-gun salute -- said that John told them of being the quickest of all his little pals in field-stripping the rifle carried by the friendly sentry in the Manzanar guard tower. Contrasted to his extraordinary service to this country, that John was scarred even at such an early age was evident in a story he wrote and illustrated for his college literary magazine: It described Mama, her fatigue, her barely disguised despair.
Early Sunday morning, the last day of the conference, several hundred mostly elderly conferees board 13 buses headed for Jerome and Rohwer. Although my search for specific information has failed, I feel peace and kinship as I look at all of the faces, so much like mine. In previous days, conversations with strangers have been easy, often resulting in the exchange of addresses and phone numbers, friendly handshakes, and occasional hugs, as well as -- in a few instances -- the sharing of personal journals documenting loss, despair, sacrifice, and hope.
Watching the buses drive away, 71-year-old Yooichi Wakamiya of Villa Park, Calif., 8 years old when he was shipped to Santa Anita and Rohwer, notes, "This looks a lot like the Freedom Riders."
Thinking of those long-ago military trainloads from the West, another conferee answers: "They were . . . that's what they were."
Yosh Golden, a data manager in Springfield, has previously worked as a public-information officer, a deputy director of business and finance, a reporter, a lobbyist, and a university administrative-staff employee. Her father, Yoshizo James Yoshimura, lives in Chicago, where the family resettled after being released from Manzanar. Golden's mother, Sachie, died in 1998. Nine siblings, all born in Chicago, are living in cities across the Midwest and on the East Coast. Her older brother, John, served in Vietnam and retired from the U.S. Army with the rank of lieutenant colonel. He finished his professional career in the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency. Golden is the spouse of retired UIS professor Larry Golden, the mother of three daughters -- Mariko, Tomo, and Kazuko -- and grandmother of Malia.
How this happened
Racism, political opportunism, economic greed, and wartime hysteria led to President Franklin Roosevelt's decision to sign Executive Order 9066 in February 1942.
The order resulted in more than 110,000 persons of Japanese ancestry being ordered from their homes along the west coast of the United States.
In addition to 15 assembly centers and 10 camps, there were eight Department of Justice camps and four U.S. Army facilities that held mainly Japanese nationals and several hundred persons who were forcibly brought here from Latin American nations. They were shipped to hastily constructed camps surrounded by barbed wire in desolate, harsh areas of the U.S.
Hearings in the 1980s led to congressional action and a presidential apology, with a symbolic redress of $20,000 given to survivors of Japanese ancestry directly affected by E.O. 9066. The amount represented a fraction of the value of the homes and businesses that were lost.

The new Main Street surface that many citizens are complaining about will remain in its current form, but transportation officials will help the city "beautify" the area, Lexington's mayor said Monday.
The new Main Street surface that many citizens are complaining about will remain in its current form, but transportation officials will help the city "beautify" the area, Lexington's mayor said Monday.
Lexington Mayor Newell Clark and North Carolina Department of Transportation Division 9 Engineer Pat Ivey met Monday morning about the resurfacing project that has seemed to confuse and frustrate residents in recent weeks.
Clark said while the road's surface will remain the same, the DOT agreed to help the city with beautification projects on Main Street and open better lines of communication.
"They are going to get with our staff and look and see what, if possible, we can do, because obviously we are not pleased with the look of Main Street now," Clark said, adding that those discussions will start next week.
The project, which also called for the resurfacing of Fifth Avenue, was originally described as minor repairs to the pavement to ensure it serves as a good foundation for the new layer of asphalt, according to a news release dated April 12.
However, last week, a DOT official said crews used a maintenance method called micro-surfacing for the project, which differs from traditional hot-mix asphalt surfacing and uses dense-graded aggregate, asphalt emulsion, water and mineral fillers to seal and extend the life of roads.
When the main surfacing work was completed, citizens and merchants said they were not pleased, speaking out that the road looked different than a traditional asphalt surfacing job with grooves and a slightly rocky surface. In addition, loose rock and dirt on the surface of the road, which was used during construction to allow traffic to pass through the area, remained longer than normal after a traffic accident totaled a road sweeper used to pick up the materials.
Citizens who weren't pleased with the surface thought another layer of asphalt was going to be applied. However, that wasn't the case.
In addition, the N.C. Criterium State Championships, a bike race scheduled to be held in uptown July 12 and 13, was relocated to Winston-Salem because of the road's potential impact on the riders.
"We acknowledge that communication to the city and the community was less than desired, especially since this is a different type of road treatment than we have used in the past," Ivey said Monday. "I have taken steps in the division to make sure that doesn't occur in the future to make sure we work with Lexington and other cities in our division to make sure everyone understands exactly what is going on and why we make the decisions that we do."
As far as helping the city improve the aesthetic quality of the downtown area, Ivey said his division looks forward to continuing discussions with the city that could include landscaping additions or special crosswalk markings.
"My commitment to the mayor and city manager was to sit down and work through whatever improvements may be necessary and hopefully implement them before the Barbecue Festival," Ivey said.
Cost savings and road preservation were the two main reasons the DOT chose micro-surfacing for Main Street and Fifth Avenue, Mark Crook, a Davidson County DOT maintenance engineer, said last week. Micro-surfacing is a third of the cost of the traditional hot-mix method, he said, adding that the road can be preserved for about five years.
Crook said that micro-surfacing has been used on a residential community in Davie County, in addition to a resurfacing project on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Winston-Salem. Clark said Ivey reiterated that Lexington was not slighted.
"They said this technique will be used more and more across the state simply for budgetary reasons," Clark said, adding that DOT officials see it as a cost-effective preservation technique.

The Newspaper That Contains Neither News Nor Paper.
October 1st, 2009 • Issue 66• Now With 40% More Pictures of Cats with Humorous Captions!
Users Turn to PLS to Rescue Uncyclopedia from Decay, Doom, Worstness
The Eighth Semi-Annual Poo Lit Surprise Writing Competition & Brownie Bake-Off begins this Monday, October 5th when Olipro emerges from his house. If he is frightened by his shadow, writers are required to send him love letters; otherwise, writers have two weeks to squeeze all of the humor they can out of their mostly insignificant humor glands. This year's categories include Best Article, Best Illustrated Article, Best Kanye Joke, and Best Rewrite. The list of judges includes both esteemed Uncyclopedia veterans and former PLS winners; they will be sequestered in a two-star hotel for the duration of the competition in order to ensure the most convenient environment for receiving bribes.
This year's PLS Master of Ceremonies and Executive in Charge of Parking, Modusoperandi, humbly expressed optimism when asked about the quality of this installment: "This Poo Lit will be the Greatest PLS ever," said Mr. Operandi exclusively. "Anyone who says otherwise is as much of a liar as they are dumb, and they are plenty dumb. Ergo, they are also plenty liar. That made more sense in my head." Other users, who wished to remain anonymous since they regularly read the unflattering commentary often associated with being quoted in the UnSignpost, expressed hope that the PLS would revive the life-support-laden VFH and also stimulate the lagging Uncyclopedia economy.
Users Agree: 'Uncyclopedia is the Boringest'
This week, Uncyclopedia users denounced the recent lack of activity on the wiki. Necropaxx initiated the conversation, noting that activity on VFH, similar to the pants of the 'hip' crowd, has dropped to unacceptably low levels. Other users have responded, and the general consensus does indeed seem to be that overall, the site's quality has dropped below acceptable levels. Not since June '07, November '07, February '08, August '08, December '08, March '09, and May '09 has Uncyclopedia seen such a blatant claim that the entire website will imminently burst into a ball of some sort, with 'flame' being the most likely sort of ball.
Trusted UnSignpost undercover investigative reporter, DogNewspaper (pictured), infiltrated one such group of doom-saying users in order to obtain some first-hand declarations of the impending death throes of the wiki. "Yeah, with the number of quality articles readily available, I'd give Uncyclopedia two months at the most until it is absorbed into another humor website," said one user. Further commentary from this group of users was unavailable, as undercover investigative reporter DogNewspaper's cover was at this point compromised, as his unwavering loyalty to Uncyclopedia caused him to seize the infidel user's lower leg in his mouth and shake his head viciously. Please stay with the UnSignpost for up-to-the-week coverage of the impending(?) death of Uncyclopedia.

UnSignpost Sometime October 2009[edit]
The Newspaper That Openly Admits Its Liberal And Conservative Biases!
October 8th, 2009 • Issue 67• Good things come to those who wait. So does the UnSignpost.
The End is Nigh... Once Again
Yes, it's that time of the year again. Despite the hopes of many, Poo Lit Surprise did not instantly revive Uncyclopedia. We are doomed! DOOMED! But how did the great Uncyclopedia become such a wasteland, one may ask. It's all a big conspiracy, I tell you! All perpetrated by a mysterious figure, known only by the initials R.L. Perseveringly, this entity has claimed the lives of various Uncyclopedians, among them such users as SysRq, Cajek, YesTimeToEdit, Siddhartha-Wolf and most recently it seems R.L. has even gotten its grips on our own UnSignpost editor Gerrycheevers. When confronted with the issue, noted favourite Jew and Zionist ruler Mordillo barely managed to exclusively tell us the following "I tell you Socky, I'd be happy to comment about our IMPENDING DOOM but I'm too busy packing. Another time maybe? HEY! MOTHERFUCKER! EASY WITH THE VASE! THAT'S FRAGILE! Sorry Sock, gotta scram, the movers are breaking my stuff. NO! DROP THAT BAN HAMMER! DROP IT I SAID!" Expert in things that suck (no pun intended), Optimuschris, was quoted saying "Uncyclopedia hasn't been cool since 08. Ban 09's." In conclusion, UN:N.
UFFL Update
The previous two weeks of the UFFL action have been filled with more intrigue than a mediocre James Bond movie. Two touchdownless games by Saints' quarterback Drew Brees cost Sternensteinenstine a win Week 3, though the team rebounded Week 4 and currently holds a solid second-place standing in the hyper-competitive UFFL. A resurgent Tom Brady and a balanced roster has led Domestic Team Name to two wins over the same period, as well as an unblemished 4-0 record. The Dudes' neglect to change their starting roster cost them a win in Week 4, knocking the former top dogs down to a less-than-remarkable 4th place. The John Curry All-Stars have been hampered by the loss of Frank Gore, and lost last week to a rejuvenated Dibiase's Millions that were led by a solid Aaron Rodgers-Matt Forte NFC North attack. A soft schedule has helped Oklahoma City Storm to a respectable 2-2 record, while the winless Doritians continue to struggle. Finally, The Winnerz put up mounds of points as Peyton Manning passed his way to his fourth consecutive 300-yard game…or at least would have if The Winnerz could figure out how to log in to Yahoo! and edit their roster.
In a look ahead to next week's games, Sternensteinenstine and the John Curry All-Stars will have to overcome bye weeks for both their starting quarterbacks to maintain their positions near the top of the league as they face off; Oklahoma City Storm looks to earn an easy win against a bye-week-ravaged Dibiase's Millions; The Dudes seek redemption as they attempt to reclaim their No. 1 position against the undefeated Domestic Team Name; and the league's bottom-dwelling, shit-eating, dog-fucking last-placers The Winnerz and Cheddar's Doritians both search for their first wins of the season.

Invisible UnSignpost Issue Confuses, Annoys Readers
As a gag/publicity stunt/desperate cry for attention, last week's edition of Uncyclopedia's most beloved and 3rd most cherished newspaper, the UnSignpost, was rendered invisible before being delivered. After the issue was wrapped up, UnSignpost contributing editors Dexter111344 and Socky used their inherent superpowers or something to cause the issue to not appear on user's talk pages when delivered. In addition, further enhancements rendered each user's talk page history to not be altered upon delivery, thus completely erasing any evidence that the issue was delivered or even existed at any point.
Feedback thus far has been overwhelmingly negative, with angry subscribers sending death threats and exploding telegrams to the UnSignpost office for the past four days. UnSignpost Executive in Charge of Sniffing Mail, Dognewspaper (pictured), luckily suffered only minor burns and a singed tail. The UnSignpost staff would like to formally apologize to its readers, and assure them that each subsequent issue will be at least partly visible.
Poo Lit Report
After giving the writers time to work on their pieces, and Modus taking time enjoying the disqualification of entries for failing the mandatory steroids screening, the 8nd Edition of the Poo Lit Surprise is in its final stages – judging. This is the time where writers who entered play with their genitals out of anxiety and nervousness, and attempt to bribe the judges with sexual favors and pie.
This PLS saw a great number of entries in the Best Alternate Namespace Article. The reasoning for this, some believe, is that everyone is utterly bat fuck insane and forgot how to write regular namespace articles. Despite being held just prior to the Turkey Day Ball and Conservation Week, the turn-out was overall not bad; Modus' corporate-funded campaign for the PLS is primarily to blame for this. Speaking of corporate funding, it was indicated that there will be prize money for this edition of the PLS despite Wikia's refusal to hook a brotha' up. All irrevocable blame for Wikia's unfortunate decision has been directed at Sannse for good reason.
UPDATE Winners have been announced; congratulations to all of them. According to Modusoperandi, the next PLS is expected to be held, "When the next guy remembers it's late."
Fantasy Football Update
Things are really heating up in the UFFL as midseason nears, and Week Six's storylines were of upset, domination, and redemption. Led by Tom Brady, the always-solid
In a look ahead to next week's games, Sternensteinenstine looks to stay atop the UFFL rankings against a resurgent Cheddar's Doritians, Domestic Team Name looks to retake the #1 spot against a very solid John Curry All-Stars, Oklahoma City Storm and The Dudes face off, and the bottom-dwelling dog-fucking last-placers Dibiase's Millions and The Winnerz will look to see which one of them is shittier.
IT'S OVER 25,000!!! Maybe.
Uncyclopedia just might make the mark of 25,000 articles. Sometime soon. Maybe tomorrow. Surely it's yet another milestone that only puts us that much more ahead of Wikipedia, Conservapedia, and Das Kapital combined in content. However, thoughts from the rest of the community on what this means for our beloved wiki have been varyingly expressed as joyous, apathetic, dismal, and downright nonsensical. "But even with 25,000 articles, we're still 65,000 short of being strong enough to fight Captain Ginyu," says the attractive Guildensternenstein as we stop him on his way to Planet Namek. Others offer real conversation of a possible reskin and doubts that the mark will actually be reached with Forest Fire Week probably happening sometime. Maybe.
Discussion started by an attention whore in Miniluv over the Welcoming Committee and their welcoming template(s) has sparked the particular attention of many Uncyclopedians, most of whom by their own admission have never read the welcoming template, HTBFANJS, BGBU, any of the other things the welcome template advises new users to read, or have heard of Uncyclopedia. The recent round of QQ'ing and debating over the alleged poor quality of Uncyclopedia, as highlighted in the last edition's piece about the end being nigh and a Poo Lit Surprise nomination, can come to a close. It is this writer's observation that Uncyclopedia is the worst because nobody cares about editing guides which make confusing acronyms. Obvious correlation is obvious.
On our final stop in our stroll through the Village Dump, to your left you will see that a n00b was just kidding, jeez, and to your right you will see that Rockstar Games reads Uncyclopedia. In the former, users urge the poor fellow to read HTBFANJS and BGBU (the same ones that they probably haven't read). If anything is to be drawn from this, it is that true editing comes from within. Or something.

UnSignpost 29-10-2009[edit]
The Newspaper Made Entirely From Recycled Internet Memes
October 29th, 2009 • Issue 69 • Hehehe, 69
Better than ED, of course
After having hit the 25,000 articles mark, it's worth knowing what other people think of this wiki as it's walking down the sidewalk in its high heels and short skirt. So here are some Google searches for hits on Uncyclopedia in the last week and what it came up with:
A Star Control II forum or something-rather found here remarks on Uncyclopedia's SC2 article and other entries. Lauding such as "Uncyclopedia rocks..." overshadowed the naysaying remarks about the wiki being immature and for poopfaced doo-doo heads. The most insightful comment, by a user dubbed "Son of Atares", says, "It definitely beats Enyclopedia Dramatica in terms of funny, but that really isn't saying anything at all." Agreed.
On a Polish forum for Polish things, Polish people, and Polish things that Polish people do, some Poles or something have a great laugh at Uncyclopedia making fun of their homecountry. One ED fangirl attempts to advertise her nonsense, only to be ignored over the lulz and tears shed from reading Uncyclopedia.
Finally, a forum for progressive rock fans also enjoys some laughs at the prog rock article and the article about their own forum. That guy from There Will Be Blood blatantly lies in an attempt to seem better than thou by boldly claiming, "Uncyclopedia is not funny." Our official response to this criticism? He likes Miley Cyrus. Been there, done that, got the genital warts. The last post to the forum by the gender-confused dinosaur Littlefoot from The Land Before Time reads, " I actually think the prog articles and ProgArchives pages on Uncyclopedia are generally embarrassing attempts at funny by people who do not understand subtlety or delivery in comedy." And then a smiley face, because I guess he pwnt us or something.
Fantasy Football Midseason Meanderings
In real sports, midseason is typically when "experts" make "predictions" about how "the rest of the season" will "play out," and the UFFL is no exception. Here are this author's predictions for the rest of the season, by team:
1. Sternensteinenstine (6-1): Already a game ahead and looking forward to a soft schedule in the coming weeks, Sternensteinenstine's dominance of the UFFL will continue for the foreseeable future. In all likelihood, the Nazi Juggernaut will sweep the rest of the season with relative ease, become overconfident, take on the world's largest nation by land area, and eventually be defeated by an international alliance in mankind's most destructive conflict ever. Finish 13-1 (#1 seed), at the cost of 3.7 million casualties.
2. The Dudes (5-2): Facing a similarly weak series of opponents in weeks hence, The Dudes look to continue their winning ways. At about Week 11, though, they'll run into trouble, and spend the rest of their season getting high. Finish 8-6 (#4 seed).
3. Domestic Team Name (5-2): A solid team built around consistent players, the team of housewives and aprons does relatively well the rest of the year, but gets screwed Week 8 for not having the foresight to draft a quarterback that doesn't have a bye in Week 8. Finish 10-4 (#2 seed).
4. John Curry All-Stars (5-2): Another solid team, the All-Stars will play well for the rest of the season, but wane down the stretch when their manager loses interest in favor of watching hockey. They still make the playoffs, however. Finish
5. Oklahoma City Storm (3-4): OCS is a hard seed to crack. Despite possessing one of the league's most devoted managers, too much depends on inconsistent and disappointing players at key positions, not to mention the team's susceptibility to tornadoes. Finish 6-8.
6. Dibiase's Millions (2-5): The victim of not one, but two running back busts, Dibiase's Millions have been struggling to find their stride all year, and given the production of Matt Forte and Steven Jackson, will continue to do so. Finish 4-10.
7. Cheddar's Doritians (2-5): Though they have won two of their last three games, Cheddar's Doritans will more than likely miss the playoffs due to their slow start. Putting too much faith in one team probably doesn't help, either. Finish 6-8.
8. The Winnerz (0-7): Ironically enough, the Winnerz can't win. Even more ironically, if the Winnerz could figure out how to select their starting roster, they wouldn't be half-bad. Unfortunately, signs point to the team not being able to figure that out, at least for this and possibly next season. Finish 0-14.

This past Monday night, the FedEx man brought me one of the most exciting packages I've gotten in some time: my first copy of my new book, Inside the Machine: An Illustrated Introduction to Computer Architecture and Computing Fundamentals, published by No Starch Press. This book has been years in the making (either three or eight, depending on how you count it), and now I'm pleased to announce that it's immediately available worldwide at Ars Technica, and at fine bookstores everywhere, both online and offline.
Ars has 250 copies, personally signed by me, for sale at the Ars Technica Emporium. We're going to ship them on Monday, December 18th, so if you order before then you should have yours in time for Christmas (International orders will likely not make it).
Folks who order the book through the Ars Technica Emporium will also get the following extras:
- A coupon for a free electronic copy of the book, redeemable when we release the e-book in early 2007
- One year of FREE access to the Ars Technica PDF Library
- A signed copy (mentioned above)
- Free shipping
Update: Some folks are concerned that they may not be getting a signed version, because they may not have been one of the first 250 people to place an order. Don't worry. We'll post an update when we run out of books. And if we happen to run out before we manage to get an update posted and you've unknowingly ordered the 251st, or 300th, or 350th (etc.) copy, then we'll make sure that the copy you get is signed, regardless. I'll just have to get the publisher to send a few more for me to sign.
The book is hardcover, with full-color diagrams, and it's printed on acid-free, archival-quality paper. So it's an extremely solid book that will last you for years. You can learn more about Inside the Machine, and even download a sample chapter, at the No Starch Press website. Yet more details on the book are available in a series of posts on my staff journal, Carthage, and in the longer description immediately below.
But before I talk more about the book, I want to say a quick thank-you to Lyle Troxell and Sean Cleveland for having me on their NPR show, GeekSpeak, this morning to talk about Inside the Machine. You can check that out via MP3 and Podcast if you're interested.
Table of Contents
In general, Inside the Machine is adapted from my work here on Ars Technica. However, all of the material has been substantially rewritten and expanded with new text, diagrams, and information. What follows is a table of contents that will give you a general idea of what's in the book:
- Basic Computing Concepts
- The Mechanics of Program Execution
- Pipelined Execution
- Superscalar Execution
- The Intel Pentium and Pentium Pro
- PowerPC Processors: the 600 Series, 700 series, and 7400
- Intel's Pentium 4 vs. Motorola's G4e: Approaches and Design Philosophies
- Intel's Pentium 4 vs. Motorola's G4e: The Back End
- Introduction to 64-bit computing and x86-64
- The G5: IBM's PowerPC 970
- Understanding Caching and Performance
- Intel's Pentium M, Core, and Core 2 Duo
The book starts out with introductions to basic computing concepts (code, data, programming, the fetch-execute loop, basic computer organization) and then introduces intermediate and advanced concepts over the course of a series of detailed examinations of real-world architectures. The processors covered in-depth are as follows:
- Intel: Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium 4, Pentium M, Core Duo/Solo, Core 2 Duo/Solo.
- Motorola/IBM: PowerPC 601, 603/603e, 604, 750, 7400 (aka G4), 7445 (aka G4e)
- IBM: PowerPC 970 (and POWER4)
Hardcore processor geeks will be interested to know that he book is extremely up-to-date with the very latest processors from Intel. No other book that comes out in the same time frame will have as much detailed information on the Pentium M, Core Duo/Solo, and Core 2 Duo/Solo. I actually worked with Intel on this (a huge thank-you to George Alfs and the Intel folks for being so responsive), so I can guarantee that you won't find more detailed descriptions of the three processors covered in the last chapter outside of Intel's very latest tech docs.
So if you like what you see, head over to the New Ars Emporium (we now take major credit cards) and place your order. By purchasing the book through Ars, you'll be supporting the site, in addition to the other extras listed above.

Lacina Traore's Everton future to be decided next week
The striker arrived at Goodison Park on loan from Monaco in the January transfer window and scored on his debut in a 3-1 FA Cup win over Swansea City earlier this month.
MORE:Manuel Pellegrini handed touchline ban |Jose Mourinho takes aim at Premier League fixture pile-up
However, the Ivorian suffered a hamstring injury in the warm-up to Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Chelsea, and both Monaco and Everton have agreed that Traore should visit experts in both countries as they seek a diagnosis.
If Traore requires surgery, his loan spell may be terminated, although if the injury is less serious he will remain at the Premier League club for the remainder of the campaign.
"We have been working closely with Monaco to ensure we get the best possible treatment on the injury," Everton manager Roberto Martinez told the club's official website.
"He will now see two specialists next week - one in London and one in Paris. Then we will make the final decision with the parent club.
"If Lacina will be fit by the end of the season, then we will see him in an Everton shirt again, and that is what we are aiming for."

Marquis Theater temporarily closed
Fri, 10/25/2013 - 1:31pm Anonymous
MIDDLEBURY — The Marquis Theater is expected to be closed until the first week of November following a small fuel oil spill that occurred on Wednesday, Oct. 23, inside the Main Street building.
Marquis Theater owner Bill Shafer said approximately 10- to 20 gallons of fuel escaped from a leaky component in an overhead fuel storage tank at the upper level of the theater. Some of the oil seeped into the ladies' room and lobby area, according to Shafer. The theater is in the process of being cleaned. For the latest details on the theater's progress and opening date, check out the Marquis Facebook site.

Where are we short and who are we short of? A review of the human resources for health in South Africa
Gavin GeorgeI; Timothy QuinlanI; Candice ReardonI; Jean-François AguileraII
IHealth Economics and HIV and AIDS Research Division (HEARD), University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
IIEuropean Commission Delegations, in Southern Africa
This review showed that thinking about the shortage of health care personnel merely in terms of insufficient numbers prevents sound strategic interventions to solve the country's human resources for health (HRH) problem. It revealed that the numbers shortage was one facet of a broader problem that included the mal distribution of HRH, production of the wrong skills in the nursing care, the attrition of staff from the public health services and, contextually, the ever-changing demands on the health services. The challenge in South Africa was furthermore to train and retain health care personnel with skills and expertise that are commensurate with the changing demands on the public health services.
Uit hierdie oorsig het dit duidelik geblyk dat die tekort van gesondheidsorgpersoneel slegs in terme van ontoereikende getalle val en 'n omvattende strategiese ingryping om die land se menslike gesondheidshulpbron krisis op te los, belemmer. Dit het aangedui dat die getalletekort maar slegs een fasset van 'n groter probleem uitmaak, wat onder andere die volgende insluit: die oneweredige verspeiding van menslike gesondheidshulpbronne, 'n fokus op ontoepaslike vaardighede in die opleiding van verpleegpersoneel, die behoud van personeel in die openbare gesondheidsektor, asook die konstant-veranderlike eise van die gesondheidsdienste. Verder was die uitdaging in Suid Afrika die opleiding en behoud van gesondheidsorgpersoneel met kennis en vaardighede wat tred hou met die veranderlike eise van die openbare gesondheidsdienste.

About Charlie Potatoes
I am a freelance writer. I have a website that does all aspects of academic writing,including proofreading, editing, and theses analysis. we also write original essays (as examples) for customers. From high school book reports to Doctoral Dissertations, we write to the level of the customers' academic standing.
so I commented on this and a notice came up that my comment was being checked by moderators. Is this something new? Nice. First MSN and now Techdirt. Let's have more censorship, I say!
Did anyone actually try MSN IM and see what happens to a link to Pirate Bay? It sent the link just fine for me. But that may be part of an MSN plot to um.. er.. well.. I'm sure they're up to no good somehow ... But this particular dog don't appear to hunt.
So why doesn't he get a nice non pro bono mouthpiece and sue Twilight's ass off for infringing on his site and domain name??
So ... is that a "no"? Surely anyone charged under this concept will have someone who spreads the word. My question is whether the administration's legal arm is claiming any arrests or violations of the secret interpretations. Such a secret would have to have a lot of cooperative civil servants in order to succeed, and in the past they have all pretty much shown that they will blow the whistle.
So ... has anyone or any group been charged with breaking Akbar Obama's secret interpretations? If so, what did the indictment say? Do prosecutors have to tell grand juries or federal judges what law precept is supposedly violated, or can they just sit and wink at the judge, asking for a directed verdict of guilty? Too much speculation here, not enough facts.
Let's see, THEIR missiles are dirty old Scuds... American missiles are PATRIOTS. Yeah, I'm glad the U.S. Govt. never uses propaganda. Nasty business, what?
John, you're talking out your ass. You have clue how I run my business or what kind of cut throat foreign scam artists i have to compete with who are happily in bed with Mr. Google. I'm not a flamer, but you, sir, are full of crap.
Ok. I misread it too. I thought they could tell if my child had BEEN eaten ... Never mind.
Whore? I think NOT ... To my knowledge Carla has ALWAYS given it away for free.
I passed a new beauty salon opening in the Asian part of Richardson, Texas. On a portable sign by the street were the words "Blow jobs ... $5." By the time I got turned around, parked, and made it to the door, several guys were ahead of me at the entrance. But Richardson Police, who came to sort out the traffic jam, said that the owners could not be forced to give us the blow jobs when it was obvious that they meant "Blow drys". But everyone I talked to that day said that they believed it was a $5 blow job that they were offering. I think they should have honored their ad.
There is no such thing as Organized Crime. They just seem organized when compared to the FBI.
let me see if i have this straight ... i'm invited to a webinar about Free as a business model. and all i have to do is give you my name, information on my company, email address, home address, my home phone number ... and purchase the software to view it on? haha right. i think i'll pass.
... It's because that is all the gay guys there are in Texas. And they are all immigrants. It's a crime down here ... at least every six months it is. The courts overturn it and the Texas Legislature rewrites it and posts it again. God bless Texas.
Just what, exactly, does he think he is the prince of?
A police officer is required by oath and by statute law to act when he sees a felony in progress. For a good officer to witness a felony assault, or any any other similar action by a bad officer, and then fail to stop it or file a report, makes the good officer a bad officer. There are no good officers, just some that are less bad. But the fact that I can say this with no fear of reprisal gives me some hope... Be right back, someone is at my door.
I lived in the deep south of Texas, on the Mexican border. I tried to help some of my Mexican friends learn English. They called the state troopers "highwaymen" I tried to get them to say "highway patrol". After being in the car with some of them, and being rousted at gun point, I realized that they were correct and I was the one in error.
Fuck you, Towel Head.
Ok, so after I give Murdock my dollar, what do I use to line the bottom of my bird cage? It's the only real value I see in newspapers of today. The city of Dallas has one newspaper... one ... haha. It's as big a neocon bubba as are the majority of my fellow Texans. The Republicans scream "liberal press" when anyone dares contradict them. Yet every newspaper in Texas regularly endorses the Republican slate. Texas used to be Mississippi with better roads. Now our only good roads are tollways, built by Republicans by their brothers in law. Newspapers can stick it up their ***, I'll never give them a nickel.
Anything to be first, huh? To hell with relevance, just comment first. Cute remark. Asinine, but catchy.
I performed cunnilingus once ... It made me want to rape and kill.
