Received up "Lint" by Steve Aylett for Christmas. It's a satirical biography of a fake science fiction author (based on Phillip K. Dick).

I just finished this excellent (although depressing, infuriating and horrifying) book on the infamous 2003 "Great White Nightclub Fire" in Rhode Island, written by one of the lawyers involved in the class action lawsuit on behalf of the survivors and the victims' families.
I wrote a review of it on my blog here....

I just finished re-reading Doris Kearnes Goodwin's TEAM OF RIVALS: THE POLITICAL GENIUS OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. This is far and away the best Lincoln book I have ever read, and maybe one of the best ever written. Certainly by the end of it you really get a feel for Lincoln as his contemporaries saw him, and as history has judged him. A bit on the lengthy side, but never a dull moment. The garrulous Seward, the serene and competent Edward Bates, the ever ambitious and double-dealing Salmon Chase, and the anal retentive Edwin Stanton all are wonderful extras in this great literary stage piece.

"Fargo Rock City: A Heavy Metal Odyssey in Rural North Dakota"
by Chuck Klosterman.
Since he published this debut book a few years back, Klosterman has gone on to become an in-demand pop culture writer, music critic and occasional VH1 commentator ("I Love the 80s"). Here he recalls his formative years growing up in a hick town, when he was obsessed with the music of Poison, Motley Crue, Guns N Roses and the like.
Some funny stuff here, but be warned that Klosterman has apparently grown up into one of those snide, hipster douches who says "Oh yeah, I used to listen to that stuff, then I grew up." So if you're one of the humorless, diehard "metal warrior for life" types this book is just gonna p*ss you off. However, if you can look back on the '80s rock era with a healthy dose of irony, you're gonna laugh a lot.

Fat Chance by Lustig. It's a study about a driving factor of metabolic disease. Yes, obesity but he is more focused on the disease of which obesity is just a symptom.

Almost finished with Carrie by Stephen King (first time reading it).
Before that I blazed through this:
I highly recommend Bizarro Fiction to everyone on this site (shameless plugging: activated). Seriously, for everyone of us who love bad/b/z/cult/strange/horror/sci-fi movies, there is a literary equivalent.

Chaucer's Canterbuyr Tales
Adapted into graphic format by Chawst.
Probably the greatest work to come down to us in Middle English. And probably one of the greatest unfinished works in English Lit. While there were suppose to be anywhere from 60 to 120 stories in the collection, we get only get from 40% to 20% of that number, before the author quit. For reasons that are still unclear. But what we get is prime stuff, and a good look at what life was like in medieval England.
The problem is to find a format in which to read the stories. For even if the stories are translated into modern English, they can prove to be a bit of a slog. A good way, I have found to read them, is to read them in a children's adaptation of the story, but the problem with that is the more risque of the stories are often omited. So a graphic format may be the best way yet.
The BBC a number of years ago did do a series based on the stories updated to modern times, which I saw when I was in the U.K. But the problem with that was that you needed some knowledge of the stories to understand the series. Even earlier there was a stage musical version of the stories, which I also saw, when I was in the U.K. While not a complete collection of stories, at least you needed no prior knowledge of the stories to understand what was going on.
And a bit of a warning. While not rare for those days, the author's anti-semitism is strong enough to make one squirm. On the other hand, his Wife of Bath is one of the great liberated female characters in English lit, especially one for that day and age.
Also Matt Phelan's "Around the World"
Some of the best books are for children and/or teens, and this is one of them. The story of three Americans who soloed around the world. Thomas Stevens a Colorado miner and bicyclist, who was the first man to bicycle solo around the world in 1884. Nellie Bly a New York reporter who was the first woman to solo around the world in 1889. And Josh Slocum a Massachusetts sea captain who was the first man to sail solo around the world in 1895. All three of whom who wrote best sellers.
M. J. McGrath's White Heat
A mystery set in northern Canada and Greenland. Knowledgable on that area, maybe because she has written five previous non-fiction books on that subject. The problem is that there are too many villains with too many different motivations. But she does have a recent sequel out. Another mystery, but this one is set in Alaska.
Ann Parker's Meercury's Rise.
The 4th in the Silver Rush mystery series
About a single woman in 1870's Colorado Territory, who not only has to face the problem of murder, but life as a single woman in that place and time. All the titles are recognizable because they all have an element of the periodic table in them
Next time: 2984

I just finished RICHARD AND JOHN: KINGS AT WAR by Frank McLynn. This is a fascinating look at the life and reigns of the two children of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II who both became kings of England. The five children of that famous couple were nicknamed "the Devil's Brood" by their contemporaries, and several of them lived up to the name! While modern revisionism has done its best to besmirch and downplay the accomplishments and character of Richard and tried to rehabilitate the reputation of John, McLynn uses extensive primary source research as well as careful scholarship from later authors to confirm that what the bards said was true: Richard was a brave, skilled, and ferocious warrior, a careful and capable diplomat, and a largely honorable and admired king, while John was, in fact, pretty much the toad he has always been portrayed as. Written in fine prose, this book runs a bit dry in places, but then serves up some wonderful verbal nuggets that make you glad you kept reading. A really excellent work of medieval history.

"2984," which is actually two books by Charles A. Mann.
"1491," which covers the Americas and its inhabitants up to Columbus' discovery, and "1493," which the sequel and which covers the Americas and its inhabitants after Columbus' discovery, and which I like better, as it also covers the inhabitants of Africa, Asia, and Europe and takes the story up to the 1st half of the 20th century.
What both books due, having the latest information available, is to show how much of what we thought was true was actually false. It is not that people set out to be false, but that they were working with information that was often incomplete, and as people have dug down deeper--both literally and figuratively--the information has become more complete, and thus more true.
This has nothing to do with the book, but it is an example of what I mean. For a long time, it was thought that there was no such thing as a distinct period known as childhood in the Middle Ages. That is because almost everything that came down to us from that time showed children as being no more than little adults. But as people have dug down into the earth and found toys for children, they have discovered that there was a phase known as childhood which was distinct from adulthood. No idea of how long it lasted, but there was something known as childhood which was distinct from adulthood.
The 1930's. A bad time for the world economy, but a good time for the comics. 1929 to 1939, was indeed the Golden Age of Comics.
Some of the characters which got their start at that time and still strive and thrive today and are still some of my all time favorites include . . .
Batman -- Superman -- Blondie -- Buck Rogers -- Dick Tracy -- Flash Gordon -- Jungle Jim -- Lil' Abner -- Mandrake the Magician -- Popeye -- Prince Valiant -- Secret Agent X9 -- Tarzan -- Terry and the Pirates -- TinTin.
And some of the illustrators and writers include . . .
Calkin -- Caniff -- Capp -- Davis -- Eisner -- Falk -- Foster -- Gould -- Hammet -- Herge -- Raymond -- Young.
The only problem is that most likely we'll never see its like again.
Next time: a little more Batman.

Cinderella Ate My Daughter by Peggy Orenstein (reading for Women's Studies class): Talks about screwed up the media, commericalization, and the idea of pretty and pink is screwing up young girls, leading to premature sexualization, depression, increase rates of narcissim, etc.
As Long as They Don't Move Next Door by Stephen Grant Meyer (reading for U.S. History class): Looks at the dark side of the North states regarding their own racism and segregation when it came to neighborhoods.
Rule and Ruin by Geoffery Kabaservice (reading for personal interests): Focuses on the downfall of moderation and destruction of the Republican Party, saying it did not start with the Tea Party but truly began when Eisenhower left office back in 1960.
We live in quite an interesting age. You can tell someone's sexual orientation and level of education from just their interests.

A little Batman.
Batman has always been one of my favorite comic characters, but he has never been one of my favorite comic characters to read. Reasons for which we will get to later. Here are at least some I found readable. Not good. Only two or three stories, excluding the early comics, which have never been topped (IMHO), have I found to be good, but at least they are readable. Unlike most of the Batman stories.
Paul Dini's "Streets of Gotham: Hush Money."
Yoshinori Natsuma's "Batman: Death Mask"
Chuck Dixon's "The Chalice"
"Batgirl, the Greatest Stories Ever Told"
Kevin Smith's "Batman: Cacophny"
Judd Winick's "Batman; Long Shadows"
Grant Morrison's "Batman: R.I.P."
As to reasons I dislike so many of the stories . . .
Maybe it is the way that they are drawn, but I often find the secondary villains, or the "hired help," as I call 'em, overshadow the primary villains.
The confusion. I find the stories often to be confusing. And the pictures as well, especially if they are trying to express any type if action.
But mostly it is the lack of . . .
Consistency. It may be the hobgoblin of little minds, but I like it. Snow White is the same as she was 76 years ago, and she will be the same 76 years from now. And I like that. I don't like the lack of consistency in Batman. Not so much the pictures, which I understand, but in the storytelling, which seems to be going off in all directions.
There are, though, a couple of things I found in all these. First, Commissioner Gordon, seemingly, has become the heart and soul of the stories. And if Commissioner Gordon is the heart and soul, then Alfred is the rugged rock round which all the ragged characters run.
Next time: Something different and new.

Hugh Aldersey-Williams'
"Periodic Tables: a Cultural History of the Elements, from Arsenic to Zinc"
The periodic table from a cultural perspective (art, literature, music, etc.) While he does not cover every element in the table, he does make those he does cover more interesting. At least more interesting that the ones we learned about in school.
Richard Coniff's
"Swimming with Piranhas at Feeding Time: My Life Doing Dumb Stuff with Animals"
A man who travels the world writing essays for magazines on the subject of animals and the people who study them. And believe me. If there is an animal out there, there is someone somewhere studying it. The title comes from his swimming in a tank of piranhas in an aquarium. And their reputation is worst than their bite.
Hal Foster's
"Prince Valiant"
v.4 v.5
Every volume covers two years, so v.4 covers 1943 and 1944, and v.5 covers 1945 and 1946. With the page size being the same size at the comic in the Sunday papers. Foster probably the greatest Sunday comic cartoonist who ever lived. Even Barks, who knew something about drawing the Sunday comics, bowed to the superior skills of Foster.
More next time . . .

Politicos around the state were abuzz Monday with talk that state Sen. Jim Norman, R-Tampa, will abandon his reelection campaign as he faces three primary challenges with a gift house allegation swirling over his head. The scuttlebutt had it that Norman would make an announcement as soon as Tuesday.
Norman could have put an end to the talk but did not return calls or a text to his cell phone Monday evening. Several of his closest advisors also did not return calls.
Norman is facing primary challenges from state Rep. John Legg, who has already picked up several key endorsements; former state Rep. Rob Wallace; and security consultant John Korsak. The election follows him pleading guilty to an ethics charge centered around his wife buying a lakefront Arkansas home with the help of $500,000 from one of Norman's political benefactors, the late Ralph Hughes.

I came across an article in the British on-line version of The Guardian, describing a new group called "Atheism+". And, not a very flattering article at that. The Guardian describes the group, in the sub-title to the article, as "A new movement, Atheism+, has prompted non-believers to spit venom at one another rather than at true believers."
I was curious, so I dug a little further. It's reported that the members describe themselves as the Third Wave of atheism, rejecting the New Atheists (Dawkins, Dennett, Harris and Hitchens) as a group. Purportedly based upon humanist ideas, PZ Meyers, in promoting Atheism+, clearly stated that if you don't agree with the groups goals,
...then you're an asshole. I suggest you form your own label, "Asshole Atheists" and own it, proudly. I promise not to resent it or cry about joining it.
I just had a thought: maybe the anti-atheist+ people are sad because they don't have a cool logo. So I made one for the asshole atheists.
Part of the rejection of the New Atheists comes from a founder, one Jennifer McCreight, who stated her critique of the atheist movement is because it includes groups of old, white, men.
Noted atheist Thunderf00t did an article that eviscerates Atheism+, entitled A+ (atheism plus), For A Third Glorious Age of Total Agreement
As to myself, I can't say that I really know that much about it. Maybe what I've read so far is nothing more than unfavorable bias. And, am just wondering if anyone else has heard of this, or knows anything about it.
This is the link to go to Atheism+.
Views: 1953
My introduction to Atheism+ was Atheism's Growing Pains, where
McCreight ... called for a movement to advocate for an explicitly social justice-oriented flavor of atheism.
The animating idea behind Atheism+ is that atheism isn't a stopping point, but a beginning. We're atheists not because we want to gather and engage in collective back-slapping, not because we want to chortle at the foolishness of benighted believers, but because we care about creating a world that's more just, more peaceful, more enlightened, and we see organized religion as standing in the way of this goal. We consider politically engaged atheism an effective way to demolish this obstacle, to refute the beliefs that have so often throughout human history been used to excuse cruelty, inequality, ignorance, oppression and violence. [emphasis mine]
Then I see the movement defamed by Thunderf00t, aka Xavier Lumens (aka Phil Mason), a white guy,as
...bloggers...[that] have decided that the community needs to be cleansed of subversive thought by expelling everyone who disagrees with them, and they are the ones to do it with a new movement called 'Atheism Plus'. The properties they most associate with folk like the horsemen are 'old' 'white' 'male' and 'privileged' (see below). Indeed a New Statesman article frequently quoted by the Freethoughtbloggers who started this, states quite clearly that:
"Atheism+ is a reaction against the "New Atheism" of Richard Dawkins".
Thunderf00t cites the divisive "wildly over the top polarizing rhetoric of eradicating and purging dark evil impurities that threaten our purity of essence" of self-identified Atheism+ blogger Richard Carrier, who happens to be a white male.
As a feminist, I see Atheist women who are tired of sexual harassment, calling for Atheism to embrace social justice, just what Secular Humanism claims to embrace, instead of ignoring our own oppression of one another. White male Atheists backlash ensues. Atheism+ is interpreted by some white males such as Richard Carrier a vehicle to "cut free dead weight" such as Skepchick. Justifying other white males to put down the entire movement as cult-like targeting people rather than ideas.
... real unashamedly divisive, brazenly polarizing totalitarian 'you're either with us or against us' type stuff.
There you go all you Feminazi gay whiners who just want to stop white privileged males from using Atheism to excuse cruelty, inequality, ignorance, oppression and violence.
Did you notice how we went from sexually harassed women informally sharing information with other women about which Atheist assholes men to avoid to assuming Atheism+ was an attack on white Atheist men as a whole? Did I see closing rank against uppity women?
One-two punch! Kapow! Backlash spin eliminates your feminist consciousness from the debate. So even an open minded guy like Sentient Biped buys into the idea that you Atheism+ folks have a personality disorder, you just need to create drama. You hysterical women who want the vote are all alike. Oh wait, that was last century. Oh well, good tricks never die.
It should come as no surprise that the battle between conservatives and liberals is as heated within atheism as it is within society at large. In fact, I'd bet that conservative v. liberal is a bigger fault line than religion v. atheism.
Liberals demand an open society, tolerant of just about everything and everyone, and dream of an open-borders one-world utopia. Conservatives regard that as a recipe for chaos and national suicide.
Atheism+ sounds like a liberal/progressive brand of humanism (in the broad sense). Really, they should just call themselves liberal humanists.
Atheism+ is a double negative (not theism + not conservative). The average man on the street will have absolutely no idea what Atheism+ is until it's explained to them. That's a weak brand. Brand names should tell you something about the brand. So it's a marketing dog's breakfast.
I greatly admire Dawkins, Dennett, Harris and Hitchens. I am also what those people would consider an old white male, so am fully rejected for having 3 descriptors. I humbly suggest that someone who states "if you don't agree with me you're an asshole' should look in their own mirror.
Some self important people with attitude who reject me just for existing, and reject some of the great promoters of rational thought. Some humanists. Right.
Spot on, Mr. Biped,
Methinks they might simply be stupid people.
One can be an atheist, and still be stupid.
Not believing doesn't necessarily make one smart.
But if one aggressively advocates one's own not believing, well,
that's not smart, or thoughtful.
These arguments seem to have topics other than atheism.
I believe this quote from PZ Meyers explain closely what Atheism+ seem to be about:
There are lots of atheists who take this blinkered stance that atheism is just one specific idea about rejecting god-belief, and it has absolutely no philosophical foundation and should have no political or social consequences. And that's nonsense. This commenter is deluding himself as thoroughly as any god-walloper. If there is no god, if religion is a sham, that has significant consequences for how we should structure our society. You could argue over how we should shape our culture —
And the thing is we could argue about how the lack of God would shape our culture... or we could not. By making this statement, PZ Meyers shows to me just how clueless he is about what atheism is and what atheism is not. It is not, as he claims, a specific ideology. Atheism is not secular humanism. Even if God doesn't exist, there's no specific imperative to believe a certain way, even if it contradicts values presented in the Bible.
You could be an atheist and be a tyrant; you could believe in inequality; you could be against women's or gay rights; or you could be apathetic to the whole humanist cause. Nothing about atheism states that because there are sexist verses from the Bible that are no doubt embedded deep in society, that we should fight to contradict that, or that it should be our primary political goal.
Despite what he says, I believe PZ Meyer's brand of atheism has no philosophical foundation since everything he is for is from a reaction to religion. To be sure, there is no atheism "group" at all. Atheism+ is just the liberal version of conservative Christianity -- trying to marry unrelated and sometimes incompatible belief systems and confused about what they really stand for.
Why read any further than "...if you don't agree with the groups goals,
...then you're an asshole." ?
Why waste precious brain space following up a link with that intro?
Any group whose cohesion is based on putting down other atheists isn't worth your time.
They've already insulted me!!!! That kind of superior attitude makes Atheists look bad.
Having revisited this thread today I can say, I'm so glad to see that I am not alone in being an *Asshole according to PZ and friends, I much prefer the company I keep here.
Tammy, I'm proud to keep company with you and everyone else on here.
Same here Pat, I actually look forward to reading this site every day even if I don't post often. Most days I'll sit here and chuckle, or nod until I give myself a headache, it's a great group of folks assembled herein.
When the first thing out of religious people's mouths is usually something about how arrogant atheists are, despite earnest attempts to be thoughtful and kind, I don't think loud mouth, self-important, drama kings help our situation or image within society at all. If they drive off other atheists, then exactly what are they trying to accomplish?
Anyway, in my opinion and how I see humanism...
"if you don't agree with me you're an asshole" is to humanism what Dick Cheney is to peace

METAIRIE, La. (AP) - Saints' rookie Brandin Cooks is trying to make up for lost time on fresh legs.
After missing the first two weeks of OTAs and minicamp, Cooks caught a short pass Thursday at New Orleans' last offseason practice and sprinted 50 yards to the end zone - with no one is chasing him.
Cooks missed earlier workouts while taking classes at Oregon State. He is back with the team for the first time since rookie minicamp. Cooks is still getting up to speed in the offense, but the first-round pick has no problem showing skills that earned him the Biletnikoff Award as the best receiver in college football.
Linebacker Curtis Lofton says of Cooks, "Every time he runs a route, it looks like he's been shot out of a rocket."

Sport Expo: Closing Thoughts
As I was packing up my camera gear on Sunday evening at the Sport Aviation Expo in Sebring, a volunteer rode up on his golf cart and joked about the place emptying out in a hurry. "We're like the Circus," he said, "when it's over, we're outta town!" He was right, too. At 5 p.m., the place was a windswept ghost town.
But it was hopping over the weekend, reminding me of how much I like this show. It's small, contained and intimate. You can walk right out on the flightline and right up to the runway to snap some pix and no security will come clamoring. And you can actually, like, fly real airplanes. (I did, too.)
For me, it was a pleasant culture shock, for earlier in the week I covered the big shooting and outdoor show in Las Vegas for one of our other publications. I'm quite certain it was a longer walk from my hotel room in Las Vegas than across the entire Sebring display area.
I interviewed a number of people at the show and you can see their comments in a video report elsewhere on the site. Just as you'd expect, the industry is maturing, although the inevitable shakeout has yet to occur. I'd like to say maybe it won't, but I know better.
Four interesting developments from my notes: Piper's selection of the Czech-made Sport Cruiser as its LSA entrant, a slick new model from Tecnam, Legend Aircraft's cool new amphib option and Dynon's new Skyview EFIS, which is just stunning. We've put together videos on all of these subjects.
I heard a little kvetching about the Piper decision, to the effect of asking why they're going with the Sport Cruiser instead of developing their own airplane. To me, the answer is obvious: It makes no business sense for Piper to develop and build its own LSA. In the Piper Cub days, they were everyman's airplane company�as Cessna is now�but they're not that today. Piper is a niche manufacturer which has sustained itself with a small volume of a relatively broad model line.
So it makes sense for them to buy an existing design out of the still-glutted LSA market. Whether the Sport Cruiser is the right choice remains to be seen. But it does give the company the step-up opportunity that airplane manufacturers have traditionally considered important. Cessna, of course, did this on its own with the Skycatcher.
Where to from here for the LSA market? I got the impression that manufacturers are optimistic about 2010, but not delusional. American Legend's Darin Hart told me that he thinks the market bottomed in 2009 and I hope he's right. (By the way, that Legend amphib is a thing to behold. Legend's build quality is second to none, in my view. I hope to fly it next month.)
My own view is that as the market gains experience, the airplanes look better, they have wider choices in avionics packages and accessories, the sales literature is more professional and complete�it's just looking more and more like a real industry.
The people who organize the Sport Aviation Expo deserve some of the credit for this. They put a lot of energy and investment into Expo and it shows. Put it on your calendar for next year. It's well worth the effort.

Denver Broncos will put franchise tag on Pro Bowl left tackle Ryan Clady
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Peyton Manning can rest easy: his blindside protector isn't going anywhere.
Denver Broncos boss John Elway is planning to put the franchise tag on his All Pro left tackle Ryan Clady as early as Tuesday.
A franchise tag would mean a salary of just under $10 million for Clady in 2013, about three times what he earned last season, when he surrendered just one sack in more than 1,100 snaps.
Elway told the Denver Post on Friday that the Broncos still hope to work out a multi-year extension with Clady, who is recovering from a recent operation on his right shoulder that kept him out of the Pro Bowl.
Clady rejected a five-year, $50 million offer last summer that included $28 million in guarantees.

Wild try to avoid consecutive setbacks in meeting with Kings
After having their longest winning streak of the season snapped on Friday night, the Minnesota Wild try to avoid dropping two straight for the first time in over a month as they host the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday.
The Wild carried a seven-game win streak into last night's meeting with the Dallas Stars, but gave up three goals in the third period -- two on the power play -- to fall in defeat 5-3.
Devin Setoguchi, Jared Spurgeon and Torrey Mitchell all scored for the Wild, who lost for the first time since March 12 versus the Anaheim Ducks. They haven't lost two in a row since Feb. 12-14 and remained two points in back of the Vancouver Canucks for first place in the Northwest Division.
The Wild do have a game in hand over the Canucks and sit fourth overall in the West, but just two points ahead of the Kings.
Minnesota recalled goaltender Matt Hackett from the minors on Friday and gave him the start against the Stars for his season debut. Hackett allowed five goals on 33 shots as Niklas Backstrom got the game off after making 12 straight starts.
"Every winning streak comes to an end and that's the way things go," said Spurgeon. "We fought hard tonight, but just couldn't find a way to break through until late."
The Kings look to pull even with the Wild in the standings and have won two straight and five of their past seven. Though fifth overall in the conference, Los Angeles is just five points ahead of ninth place Dallas and Columbus.
The Kings were able to break through late on Thursday versus the St. Louis Blues, getting the game-winning goal from Mike Richards with 2:43 to play. Justin Williams then sealed the win with an empty-net goal.
Trevor Lewis and Dustin Brown also scored for the Kings, who got 20 saves from Jonathan Quick.
"Every game now is a playoff game," said Lewis. "Getting ready for the playoffs and they're all going to be tough. Points are so crucial now. Everyone's looking for points and tonight had a playoff feel."
The Kings and Wild are meeting for the first time this season and have split a four-game series in each of the previous three campaigns.

Students to explore popular books and film to learn why we love those horrid, rotten corpses
The zombie outbreak that has infected American popular culture will spread to the University at Buffalo this fall.
John Edgar Browning, an English adjunct professor, vampire expert and author of 12 books on the undead, will teach "A Cultural History of the Walking Dead," a seminar exploring the history and cultural impact of zombies.
Over 15 weeks, students will delve into the mystery of why zombies have recently been so dominant in books, films and television.
"Monsters are always popular, and vampires have really surged in the last five to six years, but we're now seeing a zombie version that's approaching its apex," says Browning, also an Arthur A. Schomburg Fellow and Ph.D. candidate in the department of transnational studies. "The craze is far from done, but it's definitely at its most powerful."
Browning designed the course after teaching a similar class, "Vampires and Zombies: Lifestyles of the Undead and (In)Famous," which examined both types of monsters. He decided to move zombies into the spotlight after realizing his students were more captivated by the flesh-starved dead.
The 50-minute zombie class will be taught once a week on Tuesdays as part of the Undergraduate Academies' Discover Seminar Program. The course, offered through the American studies department, is full, but Browning will allow a few more registrants to enter.
As the class progresses, students will begin exploring the West African and Haitian Vodou roots of the zombie, and track the creatures' transformation in popular culture from magically possessed people forced to do the bidding of evil landowners, to masses of rabid corpses.
The seminar will examine primary texts that detail zombie sightings in Haiti, along with horror and science fiction writer Richard Matheson's "I Am Legend," a book Browning credits as the creator of the modern zombie craze.
Browning will place a heavy emphasis on film, as well, and plans to show George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead," a movie that he believes perfected the modern zombie.
"Horror films are cultural artifacts," Browning said. "When anthropologists want to study cultures, they look at their artwork, bones and houses. You can easily do the same a thousand years from now by looking at films."
Through movies, students can identify the cultural and political ideals of a period and uncover what scares us. Whether the films depict natural disasters, technology gone awry or deadly viruses, they give viewers a way to indirectly consider the problems of their time.
It's no coincidence zombies became popular around the same time as issues about gun control in the U.S., Browning said. People have projected their fear of losing the ability to protect themselves onto attacks by zombie masses.
"The Walking Dead" is one of the most watched shows on television, and the film "World War Z" grossed more than half a billion dollars at the box office. Both depict a zombie apocalypse where survivors rely on guns to protect themselves.
The rage has spilled beyond the big screen, as arms manufacturers now sell zombie-specific firearms and ammunition. Doomsday prepping, which involves preparing for a catastrophic event by stockpiling weapons and supplies, is a rising trend as well.
Although zombies are often portrayed in media as mindless, it is apparent these and other nightmarish creatures have much to teach us about ourselves, Browning said. "Beyond serving as mere characters in horror films, monsters reveal the social fabric of how societies construct what is 'normal' at any given time. With the right training, students can use monsters to confront and challenge ideological assumptions about class, race, gender and sexuality, and unfix oppressive categories like these that precipitate marginalization."

THE Bayside Festival in Weymouth has been hit by the low number of visitors to the town.
The festival's managing director, Joe Hill, said: "Our capacity is 9,000 at any one time but at our busiest time so far, the maximum we've had here is about 3,600.
"We want to be entertaining a lot more people. It's been disappointing in terms of numbers. In terms of what we've got going on here, there is so much to do and see. It's a great value, fun family day out in Weymouth.
"We want everyone to know that Weymouth is very much open."
Marketing boss Richard Walters said: "We have the capacity to look after a lot more people than we have at the moment. Come by train, bus, car – the roads have never been clearer."
When asked about Take That tribute band tickets being reduced from £10 to £5, Mr Hill said: "We are offering additional tickets to customers who bought their tickets at £10.
"If they bought a £10 ticket, we are offering a free ticket to see one of the other bands playing at the Bayside Festival for free. So far, everybody seems to be happy with that."
Traders from the many shopping stalls situated next to the Pavilion haven't seen as many people coming through as they had expected.
Paul Bertie, managing director of Ocean World based on the Isle of Wight, said : "It has been very disappointing. A lot of people are afraid to come into Weymouth. They really need to change all the signs to say Weymouth is open.
"The figures of people expected to attend have been so wrong. It's been about a tenth of what they said."
He added: "I feel so sorry for the local traders and hotels in Weymouth. People have said to me they hope that once the Olympics leave there will be an influx of people and then the season can really start."
Sasha Chowdhury, co-running the fashion outlet stall, said: "It's been terrible. They are just not coming up this far, they go as far as the screens showing the Olympics and then stop."
She said she would be contacting the organisers to get more signs and advertising for the festival.
Charlotte Bennett from the Joules stall, said: "It could have been better. It's been a lot quieter than we expected. We expected it to be more widely advertised."
Bethan Helm, also from Joules, said: "I know they have been trying to encourage people to come in by changing the prices. I just don't think many people even realise we are here."
Visitors enjoyed the music and the bar but a group that had come from London were disappointed with the turn out.
Larry Stockton, 45, from London said: "We have had great fun but I did expect a lot more people here. I mean they've put the price down to £1 so what does that say?"
Richard Saddle of Warwickshire, whose son Sam Saddle owns Saddle Creek clothing, said: "It's great to be here and be a part of the Olympics. We just need a few more people for business."
Philip Marsh, managing director of Chatham Marine, said: "We expected more people of our clientele coming through the doors. That's what we were told. We specialise in technical footwear for sailing and it's mainly holidaymakers coming through the doors."
Mr Marsh added: "People don't know there is a shopping village here. The pitch has very expensive rent and if it carries on like this there is no way we can make that back."

Happy days are here again for the makers and sellers of guns and ammunition, and why not? There's nothing like a good school massacre to really move those Mausers off the shelves. The timing of the Newtown, Conn., atrocity, moreover, couldn't have been better, coming as it did just two weeks before Christmas, when gun enthusiasts slumber with visions of high-capacity magazines dancing in their heads.
Gun and ammunition sales tend to leap in the wake of high-profile mass shootings. National elections can have the same effect; the 2008 election of Barack Obama as president prompted a run on firearms and bullets that caused prices to skyrocket.
A report by Times staff writer Kate Mather shows that the slaughter of 20 children and six adults at Newtown's Sandy Hook Elementary School in December may be having the same predictable effect, and then some. The number of federal background checks on firearm purchasers was higher in December than in any month since the checks were required in 1998, according to the FBI. Businesses and trade associations are reporting a jump in sales, and Mather found commerce so brisk at the Crossroads of the West gun show in Ontario that people were waiting in line four hours just to enter Sunday.

"Those are just creepy mom," said my teenager. Now if you are a parent who has tried every trick in the book to get your kids to eat, then you can identify with this little gimmick of placing a McCain's Smile potato on top of a mini quiche. Quiche is a great way to get extra protein in my kids by way of the cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, and eggs. It is also a great vessel for leftover veggies and meats like ham and sausage. But you know what? If that same teenager brings one of these to school in his lunch, I am pretty sure he will be shoving it in his classmates' faces yelling, "look at my creepy lunch, its eyes are oozing! Pretty cool huh?" all the while making barf noises, and other weird teenager gross out sounds as he squirts it with ketchup, and gobbles the "bloody" quiche down, one facial feature at at time.
Mini Quiche and Go's– adapted from Rindy's Baked Eggs
1 cup oat flour
1 tsp. gluten free baking powder, I used Rumford's
6 eggs
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
1 cup milk
6 green onions, sliced, greens only
1/2 tsp kosher salt
few grinds of black pepper
2 T. melted butter
12 McCain's Smile potatoes, optional but creepy good fun
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl mix all ingredients together except potatoes. Pour 1/2 cup quiche batter into 12 well greased 8 ounce wide mouth mason jars or 12 (7-8 ounce) ramekins. Top each with a McCain Smile, place jars on a jelly roll pan and bake for 25-28 minutes or until set. Eat immediately, or refrigerate or freeze for future breakfasts or lunches. Makes 12 mini quiches.
Now all my Mason Jar Meal ideas are in one place.
I asked my Facebook fans to name these little quiches, and they came up with Paranormal Quiche, Sir Giglious Oozus, Bug Eyed Quiche, Ooey Gooey Quiche, Say Cheese Quiche, and Popeye Quiche. What cutsie names do you give food to get your kids to eat it?

Library opens with reading program
THOMAS — The new facilities at the Snake River School/Community Library opened with its summer reading program this week. The library is open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Thursday during the summer.
The summer reading program is at 10 a.m. and 12 noon each Wednesday and Thursday and lasts through June.
Activities are scheduled for younger children, said librarian Sherrilynn Bair. "For kids in junior high and above, there will be video editing next week and photo editing the following two weeks."
"Signing-up is not necessary," she said. "Just come."
The library was expecting 250 summer readers, Bair said. This week, 278 are signed up.
"During the summer, it's not uncommon to circulate 1,000 books each day," she said.
The summer reading theme for this year is "One World, Many Stories."
Readers explored Mexico this week. The line-up for the next three weeks is Africa, China and then, the U.S.A.
The new facilities at the library "have more room for people and learning," said Bair. "Libraries are no longer book storage places but learning centers."
The Snake River School/Community Library has a new conference room that can be scheduled, new bathrooms, more storage and a computer laboratory.
Come the fall, what's new at the library includes Kindles the "Let's Talk About It" program. "Let's Talk About It" features adults reading books based on a specific theme.
A person can go to the webpage at snakeriverlibrary.com to get more information or he/she can check out the library on Facebook.

Creators, stars reveal 'Marvel's Agents of SHIELD'
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Fans expecting to see a snippet of the new "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." television show Friday at Comic-Con got a surprise instead — the chance to see the entire debut episode.
Thousands of fans went wild when Marvel executive Jeph Loeb and series creator Joss Whedon surprised them with the episode, which features Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent everyone thought died in Marvel's recent blockbuster film "The Avengers."
"I've got to say it's a little hot in here," Loeb said, taking off an over shirt to reveal a T-shirt with the words "Coulson Lives" on the back. The crowd started chanting "Coulson! Coulson! Coulson!"
That was just the beginning of the cheers, laughs and even tears — from Gregg, who got choked up when talking about the chance to return to the Marvel universe after appearing to die in a key moment in "The Avengers."
"I'm a longtime Marvel fan and I can't believe this is happening to me," Gregg said as he got a little misty after hugging Whedon for an uncomfortably long period of time. "I didn't like being dead, but I really liked my death. And then I met Lola."
"Lola" is Agent Coulson's suped-up red Stingray Corvette that's not quite as vintage as it looks.
Without revealing too many details to ruin the debut for fans not at Comic-Con, the show follows Coulson as he builds a team of fellow agents to deal with the growing problem created in a world quickly changing because of superheroes and their foes, alien visitors and Norse god appearances.
Fast-paced and full of comic moments that don't always require a deep knowledge of comic books, the episode laid the groundwork for the series with several subplots that will play out over time. Until Friday, little had been revealed about the ABC show set to debut Sept. 24.
Most of the show's cast attended, including Ming-Na Wen (Agent Melinda May), Chloe Bennett (Skye), Iain De Caestecker (Agent Leo Fitz), Elizabeth Henstridge (Agent Jemma Simmons) and Brett Dalton (Agent Grant Ward). Dalton got a wolf whistle from the crowd, leading to laughter.
"Yeah, we've got a really unattractive cast," Loeb joked.

A Dresden woman has been charged in connection with a string of burglaries this summer in Kennebec County.
Sabrina Marino, 23, is charged with three counts of burglary and one count of theft by receiving stolen property stemming from incidents in August, said Maine State Police Trooper Samuel Tlumac.
The burglaries occurred in Augusta, Manchester and Wayne, Tlumac said. He estimated about $5,000 worth of property was taken during the home burglaries.
None of the stolen items were recovered, Tlumac said.
Marino was apprehended Nov. 20, when she was a passenger in a car stopped by Kennebec County sheriff deputies and Gardiner police. Tlumac arrested her during that traffic stop.
Tlumac said Marino's boyfriend, Ben Chabot, 25, of Augusta, was arrested on burglary charges in September.
Augusta police responding to a report of a burglary arrested Chabot following a brief foot chase, according to a published report. A Kennebec County Superior Court grand jury in September indicted Chabot on burglary and theft charges.

Our Accounting team is charged with balancing Belkin's books and reporting on the
Company's financial performance. The Accounting team works closely with the finance
team and other departments such as Operations, Sales, Marketing and Product Management.
"You may think at the beginning of the day you're going to do one thing, but many
things can change throughout the day,"
- Elvira, Vice President of Finance for Belkin
Elvira has never been afraid of change. When she won a green-card lottery in her
native Russia seven years ago, Elvira jumped at the chance to move to the United
States. "I'd never been here before," she says, "but I thought since the opportunity
came to me, I should use it. I figured, why not?"
That openness to change has come in handy at Belkin, where Elvira often has to switch
gears fast—from helping the sales department with pricing, to analyzing market share
with product managers, to collaborating with top management on budgets.
"You may think at the beginning of the day you're going to do one thing, but many
things can change throughout the day," she says. "Priorities shift and things have
to be done on the fly. The industry is very dynamic and product life cycle is short,
so decisions need to be made quickly. If you delay a decision, you'll miss the boat."
Since joining the company in 2005 as Controller, Elvira has thrived—and Belkin has
noticed, promoting her first to Director, and most recently to Vice President of
Finance. According to Elvira, it's Belkin's entrepreneurial environment and the
open communication across the organization that's helped her to succeed. "People
here are always willing to listen to what you bring to the table."

Propane: Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
Propane, or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), is a clean-burning fossil fuel that can be used to power internal combustion engines. LPG-fueled vehicles can produce significantly lower amounts of some harmful emissions and the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2). LPG is usually less expensive than gasoline, it can be used without degrading vehicle performance, and most LPG used in U.S. comes from domestic sources.
The availability of LPG-fueled light-duty passenger vehicles is currently limited. A few light-duty vehicles—mostly larger trucks and vans—can be ordered from a dealer with a prep-ready engine package and converted to use propane. Existing conventional vehicles can also be converted for LPG use. Since propane is stored as a liquid in pressurized fuel tanks rated to 300 psi, LPG conversions consist of installing a separate fuel system if the vehicle will run on both conventional fuel and LPG or a replacement fuel system for LPG-only operation.

My position has been and always will be that Warhammer Online failed not because it was a WoW-clone but because they had a very mediocre execution of a very flawed game.
Or as I wrote on Syncaine's blog:
WAR didn't "fail" because it was a WoW clone. WAR failed because Tier 3 and Tier 4 weren't as much fun. WAR failed because it couldn't support the whole server converging on one hotspot for PvP action. WAR failed because a two-faction system allowed one side to grossly outnumber the other.But all that aside, here's my real problem with WAR's failure. It's now the world's greatest excuse by everyone as to why NOT to do things. Or as I commented a bit further down in the discussion:
Those are all design decisions that have nothing to do with WoW. There are certainly a whole slew of other failures as well but those I listed above are the big ones.
ANYWAYS– We've had this debate several times and I still maintain the idea that the reason these games fail is that, at the end of the day, they just aren't as good a game as Warcraft.
If they were, then more players would stick with the new game. Not everyone, mind you, but certainly far more than the desolate wasteland that these games become after 3 months.
WAR is my great disappointment because it's become a great scapegoat for many people.That's what really gets my goat about the perception of WAR's failure. It didn't fail because it had PvP. It didn't fail because it was a WoW-clone.
Those who dislike PVP can point to WAR as to why PVP can't work in an MMO.
Those who hate WoW can point to WAR as the reason why MMOs should stay away from anything remotely WoW-like.
But the REAL reason WAR failed has nothing to do with either of those things.
It failed because it just wasn't good enough.

WhatsApp, the popular cross-platform messaging service, has stated that it's not currently in discussions with Google to sell the company for $1 billion. Contrary to what recent rumours, Neeraj Arora, business development head at WhatsApp has informed AllThingsD that the company isn't actively looking to hold sales talks with Google and the rumours are not valid. We ran the rumour only yesterday, which relies on an inside source of Digital Trends, stating a deal was on the horizon.
While Arora declined to comment further on the matter, we'll remain slightly sceptical that a potential move is on the table. It was only back in December that Facebook was rumoured to be purchasing WhatsApp, which subsequently fell through. That said, an acquisition by Google makes more sense. Does what Arora says kill all speculation? Certainly not. This could also mean that discussions were taking place but fell through (déjà vu), or the company is indeed looking to sell up and is simply attempting to throw everyone off the scent.
But for now there's nothing to see here, folks. We'll keep our eyes open for more details to come to light.

In December 2007, pictures began circulating on the Internet showing then-15-year-old Miley Cyrus and a girlfriend sharing a Twizzler in a way that came close to a kiss, which prompted a brief flurry of lesbian rumors. Six months later, in a Vanity Fair cover story accompanied by a come-hither Annie Leibovitz photo shoot, writer Bruce Handy asked Cyrus if she felt betrayed by the person who posted the pictures.
"It was me, on my Myspace," she replied. "But they got spread around. Like, someone copied and pasted and said, 'Oh, my God, look at this,' and blah, blah, blah. I was just like, it didn't affect me. Everyone's like, 'Maybe she'll learn her lesson this time.' Nope!"
Even then, at the height of her Disney-choreographed, Hannah Montana popularity, Cyrus knew what buttons needed to be pushed. And she's been Twizzling and twerking her way to the bank ever since.
As 2013 comes to a close, Cyrus may not own the Internet, but she's leasing the penthouse. This year, she got the term "twerking" into the Oxford English Dictionary. Her album "Bangerz" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard chart. Her nude music video for the hit single "Wrecking Ball" has more than 400 million views on YouTube. She's one of Barbara Walter's "10 Most Fascinating People." And she's headlining the Y100 Jingle Ball Friday night at the BB&T Center.
Perhaps none of this would have happened if not for her much-reviled pas de deux with fellow Jingle Baller Robin Thicke at MTV's VMA show in New York on Aug. 25, not coincidentally the same day the single "Wrecking Ball" was released. The inevitable scandal was a gamble that paid off, as Forbes magazine observed: "Anything short of extreme would have missed the mark for Cyrus. Her goal was to once and for all shed the squeaky-clean Hannah Montana image and reset our relationship with her. Mission accomplished."
But, especially for young female performers, the mission — to learn, grow and evolve as a person and artist, your audience faithful, and new fans lining up beside them — also can fail. Shirley Temple and Judy Garland were trapped by their youthful success, and the contemporary pop-culture landscape is littered with the broken dreams of Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes.
On the Jingle Ball bill, Cyrus is joined by three performers who know these challenges firsthand: Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato and Avril Lavigne. Each is at a different point in the arc of fame.
Before 2013, Grande, a former Boca Raton resident, was best known as the naive Cat on teen-oriented Nickelodeon sitcoms "Victorious" and "Sam & Cat." But then, her debut album, "Yours Truly" (produced by R&B magician Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds), happened, and her Mac Miller duet "The Way" shot up the charts.
Grande, 20, has kept her squeaky-clean image intact, and much of the online conversation about her focuses on her reputation as a classy fashionista. She has acknowledged being on the edge of making music full time.
"I started in musicals, because I wanted to sing," Grande told Complex magazine last month. "I never liked acting. I auditioned for TV to get a platform to get a record deal. And then, I fell in love with acting, because it was fun. After I'm done playing Cat Valentine, I don't see myself doing much acting."
Lovato first appeared in front of the young TV audiences of "Barney & Friends" and "Camp Rock," and had a gold album by the time she was 16 ("Don't Forget"). But fame was a stimulant she couldn't handle: Drug and alcohol abuse, and an eating disorder, made her a tabloid cautionary tale.
But she's 21 now, a couple of years removed from rehab, and the album she released in May, "Demi," was a critical and double-platinum-selling hit, with the single "Heart Attack" embraced by a club crowd who probably doesn't even remember "Barney." Lovato just concluded a year as a judge on the reality hit "The X Factor," and also is the author of a new memoir on responsible living, "Staying Strong: 365 Days a Year."
In it, she writes: "The best advice I can give to anyone going through a rough patch is to never be afraid to ask for help."
Long before Miley Cyrus was making parents nervous, a 17-year-old Avril Lavigne was flipping the bird at authority in the video for her hit single, "Complicated," from the 2002 album "Let's Go." She soon had a punk-inspired clothing line, a perfume, a celebrity husband (Sum 41's Deryck Whibley) and appeared poised for arena-rocking stardom. Yet while a string of hit singles followed (including "Sk8er Boi," "I'm With You," "Nobody's Home" and "Girlfriend"), Miley-model fame has not.
Lavigne seems fine with that.
Earlier this year, the now-29-year-old singer-guitarist released a well-received single that was accompanied by a video that showed her skateboarding through a high school in heavy black eyeliner, cutoff T-shirt, black shorts and tie: a spot-on homage to her look in the 2002 video for "Complicated."
The song is titled "Here's To Never Growing Up." And, yes, her middle finger makes an appearance.

Shannon James — Crush of the Day [PICTURES]
Shannon James is a model that has been featured in magazines such as Maxim UK, Steppin Out' and Hooters. Shannon James is probably most well known for being a guest on the Howard Stern Show. Howard and the gang evaluated her, gave her the thumbs up, and sent her off to Playboy where she became Miss May 2007.
Making it onto the Howard Stern Show is impossible but add to that the fact that he thought she was Playboy material, and Playboy agreed, well that's just like catching lightning in a bottle. You might have a better chance of actually catching lighting in a bottle. We suggest using a very large bottle. Maybe one of those old milk bottles like your Grandma keeps in the fridge, cold and full of milk, even though milk stopped being delivered to homes decades ago.
The bottles are old but she uses new milk right? That isn't like stocked-up milk? Gallons and gallons of milk saved in the basement with John F. Kennedy half-dollars and old newspapers with important news headlines. Old people are crazy frugal like that so it wouldn't shock us.

(Continued Olga's Diary)
Dear Diary
Matron called me to her office. I'm not surprised. I know my work has not been good lately. I was hoping she would tell me I could go home. Dr Randall, who carries out some of the three monthly student medical examinations, was sitting behind Matron's desk. He spoke first.
"I'm sorry to have to tell you Nurse, you are pregnant and I'm sorry but you'll have to leave St Giles".
The room started spinning and I don't remember what happened next, except I was sitting down and Matron was giving me sips of water from a glass. I was in shock. I couldn't believe what Dr Randall had said. Neither of them asked me any questions, which was just as well because I didn't have any answers.
"I don't know how I got pregnant" I told them and I started crying. Matron was very, very kind and said
"Leave things to me, I will arrange everything".
Later Moores came to my room and asked me what had happened, so I told her what Dr Randall said.
She asked me who the father was and I said
"I don't know".
But she didn't believe me,
"You must know who made you pregnant Olga, after all you it's not like you know a lot of men. What man have you been with?"
And then it began to dawn on me that maybe it had been John Edward. I had never mentioned to anyone what happened that day in the pub, even when I saw Moores the next day I didn't tell her. But now I told her everything. By the time I'd finished, she was crying and hugging me tight.
"Oh, Olga, I'm so sorry. I let you down. It would never have happened if I'd been there."
Still holding me she asked hadn't I realised afterwards that I might be pregnant.
I told her "No. Mammie brought us up very strictly at home and we never talked about things like that, so I had no idea how babies were made. When my sister Chickie was pregnant we were never allowed to discuss why she was getting bigger and bigger. We knew she was going to have a baby but Mammie never told us how babies were made. We were always told that babies were sent by God and delivered to the mother. That was the sort of upbringing we had".
"Oh Olga", Moores said, "and you a nurse. Never mind, my family know a doctor who will get rid of it for you. It won't help you get your job back but at least you won't be burdened with a baby and can go back to Jamaica and your family won't know anything about it."
I knew Moores meant well, but I was horrified by her suggestion.
"But, I would know. I can't do that. It would be a sin."
When I went to bed I thought about my family. There had been so much gossip about us over the years, so many scandals and I didn't want to be another one. When I thought of Mammie I ached to put my head on her lap, just once more, and feel her hand stroking my head like she did when I didn't feel well.
I don't feel well now Mammie.
Then I said my prayers and prayed for God to forgive me for my wickedness and the shame I had brought on my family
Report: Prepared by Miss Geraldine Franks, Superintendent
Catholic Refuge for Friendless Girls, Barclay Road, Fulham, London
Subject: Miss Olga Josephine Browney
I told her that the first thing we had to do was to complete a registration form for her and she would have to tell me something about herself. As she answered my questions her voice trembled and her hands shook and when she mentioned her mother she started to cry. Miss Browney has made it clear she does not wish her mother, or any member of her family, to be informed about her situation. She says she does not want to hurt them.
We then moved on to the father of the child. At this point she refused to talk about him and no amount of encouragement on my part would make her. I decided not to press the matter.
I then asked her what plans she had for supporting the baby once it was born. When I explained that she could put the baby up for adoption, for the first time in the interview Miss B raised her head and said she would keep the baby. As gently as I could I explained to her that she may have no choice in the matter especially since she was not prepared to take the baby home to her family in Jamaica. I asked Miss B, how, if she kept the baby and stayed in England, she planned to manage, support and care for herself and the child. Miss B said she would find a job and work.
It is quite obvious that Miss B feels she has brought shame on her family by her predicament, but I am concerned about her decision not to return home and have tried to persuade her to change her mind.
I am at a loss to understand why the fear of confronting her family with an illegitimate child is greater than choosing to remain in a country at war, without the support of friends or family and treats unmarried mothers with contempt, not to mention the problem that her colour may bring.
Fortunately, there is time to persuade Miss B to place the child for adoption.

APC warns users of UPS problem
Windows servers running some versions of software used to control uninterruptible power supplies made by American Power Conversion may hang when rebooting, the company has warned.
APC said in a statement that customers using older versions of its PowerChute business edition software should upgrade immediately in order to ensure continued availability of these servers.
A component library in versions 6.0.0 through version 6.2.2 of the software expired on July 27. This would make the software inoperative the next time it loaded, the company said.
APC is a major manufacturer of uninterruptible power supplies. A UPS includes a battery to maintain power in the event of an outage. Software installed on a server is used to communicate with the UPS.
It said PowerChute Personal Edition, PowerChute Network Shutdown, PowerChute Plus, and PowerChute Business Edition Version 7.x users are not affected.
An FAQ about the upgrade is available at this site.

For @GuidoFawkes, Twitter is a fad that will disappear; for @MickFealty, it's a valuable tool
Twitter is a 'fad that will soon disappear,' political blogger Paul Staines said yesterday.
Staines, who blogs under the alias Guido Fawkes, told participants at the Voices Online Blogging conference at City University that he has 'not got the time' to monitor the 3,000 + followers of @guidofawkes.
"How profound can you be in 140 characters?" he said. "I use Twitter to broadcast, but I go to individual bloggers for information."
Staines argued that the increasing popularity of the site, boosted by celebrity users such as Stephen Fry and Oprah Winfrey, meant that 'overload is inevitable'.
However, Mick Fealty (@mickfealty) creator of the Slugger O'Toole blog, agreed that Twitter is a 'nightmare' but insisted it remained an 'important tool' for journalists.
"I used it on the day of the US elections last November, when I was writing a live blog on the Slugger site," he explained. "I canvassed for US readers to be mini-bloggers for one day.
He used feeds from people who were watching three or four American television networks, he said. "Within about two minutes I knew what had gone out on ABC, Fox and CNN, and I could give a clear judgement about what was going on."
Fealty added that the site was an effective tool to generate information about an area where he had 'no local or native knowledge'.
Twitter's usefulness was a result of the 'very smart and intelligent' contacts he has made using it, he said.
"The value of Twitter is the value of people I follow," he explained.

A Philadelphia Police sergeant who was involved in a fatal accident a week after his ex-wife died, turned himself in on Tuesday.
Sgt. Thomas Winkis, 45, is charged with homicide by vehicle, driving under the influence, involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment.
On Friday he was suspended from the force for 30 days and, according to a police press release, Commissioner Charles Ramsey does intend to fire Winkis at the end of that time period.
The charges and suspension come nearly two weeks after Winkis' car slammed into a van driven by David Farries.
The accident happened about 11:30 p.m. on September 14 in Northeast Philadelphia when both men were approaching the same intersection.
Farries, 55, was thrown from the van, hospitalized and died three days later. Winkis was taken to Aria Torresdale Hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries.
Farries' family demanded justice for his death and welcome the charges brought against Winkis.
"I'm very glad that he got charged and they finally got him," Tammy Farries, the victim's wife told NBC10 on Friday.
Christine Farries, the man's daughter, says her father's death has been agony.
"We had to sit there and hold my father's hand while he was dying in front of us," she said.
Winkis was dealing with a personal tragedy prior to the accident.
On September 7, his ex-wife, a beloved officer in the 26th District, Michelle Winkis, died suddenly from a brain aneurysm while on the job. Fellow officers gathered at a fund-raising event for Winkis' children at the FOP Lodge #5 on September 12, only two days before the fatal accident.
Law enforcement sources tell NBC10 Winkis spent time at Maggie's Restaurant and Bar shortly before the accident.
A private investigator hired by Farries' family sent a letter to the manager of Maggie's, demanding the business preserve surveillance footage that they say may show whether or not Winkis was drinking before the accident.
Owners of businesses located along State Road say police took surveillance video showing Winkis driving that night prior to the accident.
On Tuesday, Winkis turned himself in and was processed, according to the District Attorney's Office. He was arraigned and then released after posting 10 percent of $50,000 bail.
While happy that charges were filed, The Farries were upset authorities gave Winkis time to turn himself in.
"If our dad was the one who killed a cop, he would have been in from day one," Farries' daughter Tammie said.
Sources say Winkis was given the extra time because he had to undergo an undisclosed surgery. Treatment, Farries' wife and daughters claimed was not right.
"If it was anyone else needing surgery, cops would have went right with him to the hospital," Tammie Farries said.

Democratic Sen. Ed Murray says he's not ceding his leadership position until members of a new Republican-majority caucus move to change the rules on the Senate floor to put someone else in charge.
In a letter sent Monday to Sen. Rodney Tom, Murray wrote that in order to redefine a majority caucus, the Senate's 23 Republicans and the two Democrats joining them, including Tom, must vote to change the permanent rules of the Senate and its governance structure when the legislative session begins next month. Murray wrote that Lt. Gov. Brad Owen has said he will continue to recognize the Democratic caucus as the majority caucus of the Senate until that happens.
"Under the current and past Senate rules, and longstanding past interpretations of those rules, the majority caucus is defined as the party containing the most elected members, which currently remains the Democratic caucus," Murray wrote. "As such, the majority leader is elected by the Democratic Caucus under the provisions of our own caucus rules."
Last month, Senate Democrats elected Murray as their majority leader. But last week, Tom, a Democrat from Medina, and fellow Democrat, Tim Sheldon of Potlatch, announced they would work with Republicans under a newly formed caucus called the "majority coalition" caucus and that Tom would be the new majority leader.
Democrats have a small majority in the Senate, controlling 26 of 49 seats. With the moves by Tom and Sheldon, Republicans effectively hold a 25-24 advantage.
Under the proposed plan by the caucus to be led by Tom, Republicans will chair six committees, including the panel that controls the state budget, while Democrats will control another six committees. The parties will split control of three other panels, though Sheldon is on two of those committees.
Murray's letter was in response to a letter Tom sent him on Friday asking him to appoint senators to the committees the majority coalition caucus offered Democrats to lead. Tom also said he wanted the Facilities and Operations Committee to be reorganized soon. That committee, which oversees personnel issues, would need to be reorganized, Tom said, to determine office locations and other issues.
However, it also is the committee that imposed sanctions on Republican Sen. Pam Roach, who was kicked out of her caucus two years ago because of accusations of mistreating staff. She was allowed back in earlier this year when Republicans built a similar coalition to take over the budget process, but she is still currently barred from interacting with most Senate staff.
Tom has said that Roach, who has been named chairwoman of the Senate Government Operations, Tribal Relations & Elections Committee under the new plan, would have those sanctions against her lifted, even though they were recently reaffirmed under a legal settlement announced in September.
In a written response to Murray on Monday, Tom wrote the new coalition would take steps on the first day of session to establish themselves as the majority caucus.
"We believe it would be best for the institution and by extension, the people of Washington, if the current majority would accommodate our incoming majority in the various ways that will enable the Senate to be fully functioning on January 14," Tom wrote. "The alternative would be to risk the very chaos you have publicly warned might accompany a change in the Senate majority. Surely, no one wants that."
Later Monday, Murray said that Democrats had made a counterproposal to Republicans' plan, saying that Democrats and Republicans should co-chair all committees, instead of just three.
