The Wauneta-Palisade Broncos football team fell to 0-2 on the season with a 16-46 loss at Minatare Friday.
For the second week in a row the Broncos gave up a touchdown on the game's opening kickoff.
Co-head coach Randy Geier said special teams play was a problem throughout the game and gave Minatare great field position all night.
WP allowed another Minatare touchdown before getting on the board with a six-yard pass from Chase Rathe to Tyler Davis.
Trailing 8-12, Geier said the Broncos had a chance to take the lead heading into halftime but missed the opportunity. Minatare took advantage and scored with 25-seconds left in the half giving the Indians a 18-8 lead at intermission.
Geier said he and co-head coach Joseph Frecks felt like their team was still in the game going into the fourth quarter.
Geier said the team had the momentum in the fourth quarter, despite trailing 16-32.
"We came up short by an inch on a 4th down play in the 4th quarter deep in their territory," said Geier. "If we had gotten the first down there, I think we would have won the game."
Geier said the offense has been very productive at times.
"Our blocking was OK, but we need to be more consistent and that will come with experience. Gage (Crowell), Billy (Straub) and Joseph (Sramek)have been solid at running back." Crowell led the team with 50 yards rushing. Sramek added 29-yards.
Chase Rathe caught two passes for 57 yards. Tyler Davis had two catches for 13 yards, including a six-yard touchdown pass from Rathe.
Rathe and Straub each completed two passes and the team totaled five completions for 70 yards.
Defensively, the coaches thought the team played and tackled well throughout the game. Chris Carl led the Broncos with seven solo tackles. Davis and Brody Nordhausen each had a sack.
WP will travel to Banner County Friday in Harrisburg.
Banner County moved to 0-2 on the season with a 46-65 loss to Hayes Center last week.
Geier said the Wildcats have an explosive offense and solid defense.
"They mix the run and pass very well. Defensively they are very aggressive and like to blitz. If we play a complete game, I think we have a great chance of winning on Friday."

Congenital heart defects
Christopher Derby, MD, is a pediatric cardiovascular surgeon at Cardon Children's Medical Center.
Question: We are expecting our first child, and we were told that our baby might have a heart defect. What are the causes of heart defects, and what are the available treatments after my baby is born?
Answer: Congenital heart defects happen because of incomplete or abnormal development of the baby's heart during the very early weeks of pregnancy. Some are known to be associated with genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome, but the cause of most congenital heart defects is unknown.
Approximately eight out of every 1,000 newborns have congenital heart defects, which can range from mild to severe. While they can't be prevented, there are many treatments for the defects and any related health problems.
If a congenital heart defect is suspected, your obstetrician will likely refer you to a pediatric cardiologist for fetal testing to determine what defect your child may have. Some congenital heart defects require newborn intensive care in the hospital and immediate evaluation by a pediatric cardiovascular surgeon. Smaller defects may be managed by a cardiologist as your child grows.
There are a variety of treatment options for congenital heart defects, and most defects are treated successfully. These babies with known cardiac abnormalities are best cared for by a team of specialists, which will usually include pediatric cardiologists, pediatric heart surgeons, pediatric cardiac anesthesiologists, doctors who specialize in the intensive care of children, cardiac nurses and many others. Many children will benefit from having their hearts repaired surgically or through a procedure in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
With all the medical resources available, a congenital heart defect won't necessarily prevent a child from leading a normal life. With today's research and technology, we are become very effective in diagnosing and treating a baby's broken heart.

vulnerability to HIV/Aids for women in unregistered customary law
marriages as it relates to property and inheritance rights in Zimbabwe
and Law in Southern Africa (WLSA)
May 30, 2012
In 2001, the
prevalence rate of HIV infection in Zimbabwe stood at 23.7%. In
2010, it declined to 14.3% a commendable achievement. However, some
factors remain unaffected by this drop, chief among them the disproportionate
effect of HIV/Aids on women. As at 2009, the life expectance for
women stood at 47 years and 60% of Zimbabwean adults living with
HIV were females. The gap for women aged between 15-24 years was
even wider standing at 77%. The reasons still remain rooted in gender
Formed in 1987
and formally registered in 1989, Women and Law In Southern Africa
Research and Education Trust (WLSA -Zimbabwe) is part of a regional
organization located in the seven Southern African countries of
Botswana, Zambia, Lesotho, Mozambique, Malawi, Swaziland and Zimbabwe.
WLSA uses evidence-based interventions to advocate law and policy
reform for the betterment of women and girl's lives. Since 1987,
WLSA has conducted research on laws and policies affecting women.
WLSA has used the research to successfully advocate law and policy
reform, for instance in 1997 the law relating to inheritance was
amended substantially to favor the surviving spouse and children
in the distribution of a deceased estate. WLSA provides legal aid
to indigent women. Specifically, research has been conducted on
gender, HIV/Aids and the law from a rights based approach.
Zimbabwe is
a country that subscribes to the rights of women. This is evidenced
by Zimbabwe signing and ratifying instruments such as CEDAW, SADC
Protocol on Gender and Development and the Optional Protocol to
the African Charter on the rights of Women in Africa. S23 of the
of Zimbabwe recognizes non-discrimination on the basis of race,
color, creed, marital status, gender, sex, tribe, political opinion,
physical disability and place of origin. Zimbabwe has in place a
fully-fledged Ministry of Women Affairs, Gender and Community Development.
In 1982, Parliament
passed the legal Age of Majority Act (Now part of the General
Law Amendment Act) that made all Zimbabweans regardless of sex,
majors upon turning 18 years. Prior to that, all African women were
perpetual minors who were not legally competent to enter into contracts
unassisted by their fathers or male guardians.
Despite the
Constitution guaranteeing rights in the Declaration of Rights, the
same Constitution in Section 23 (3) (a) and (b) allows discrimination
in matters of personal law regarding the application of customary
law. Customary law is more visible in matters of personal laws and
this entails the law of husband and wife, law of persons, children
and succession. This is an area where most women are located and
that also plays a part in the increased vulnerability of women to
HIV infection. In the infamous Magaya vs. Magaya case of 1999 the
Supreme Court ruled that it was not discriminatory for the court
to rule that an African woman had no right to inherit property from
her late father since the Constitution permitted this discrimination.
The same Constitution also allows the operation of customary law
side by side with general law.
marriage law system in Zimbabwe and the link with inheritance laws
Nowhere has
the legal pluralism played out than in the marriage laws in Zimbabwe.
There are only two legally recognized and registered marriages in
Zimbabwe. These are the monogamous marriage under Chapter 5:11 and
the potentially polygamous customary law marriage under Chapter
5:07. The third type is the unregistered customary law "marriage"
( the legally correct term being union )that is at law not valid
except for purposes of guardianship, custody, access, maintenance
and inheritance under customary law. This "marriage" comes
into being when a man pays bride price for his wife. He may also
pay bride price for more than one wife. According to research by
WLSA, more than 50% of all marriages in Zimbabwe are not registered.
This is due to a variety of factors such as the myth that registering
a marriage is signing one's "death warrant" by the husband.
In 1997 the
Parliament of Zimbabwe passed the Administration of Estates Amendment
Act of 1997. This Act entails that at the death of wife or husband,
the surviving spouse and the children inherit the property. This
Act specifically recognizes a woman married in an unregistered customary
law marriage as a wife for purposes of inheritance. The spouse inherits
the house that they were living in prior to death, the household
goods and contents and share the remainder with the children. These
rights are reinforced by such international instruments as the Optional
Protocol to the African Charter on the rights of women in Africa
that Zimbabwe ratified in 2009. This means that despite her not
having a marriage certificate, she is entitled to inherit from her
late husband's estate. If a man has more than one wife, they will
all inherit with the senior or first wife getting more. Therefore
at least on paper, the inheritance law protects the rights of all
women regardless of whether their marriage is registered or not.
WLSA Zimbabwe's
concern lies in the lack of security in relation to inheriting property
by women in unregistered marriages at the death of a spouse. While
on paper, they are entitled to inherit, in practice, the situation
is different. According to research conducted by WLSA and cases
handled through the legal aid programme, these women face a multiplicity
of problems by virtue of the fact that they do not have a marriage
certificate. To be able to access the property, they need to register
the estate with the Master of the High Court or Assistant Master
at the Magistrate Court. To do this, they require the death certificate.
To obtain the certificate, they need proof from the late husband's
relatives that indeed they were married to the deceased under customary
law. In comparison, a wife who has a registered marriage simply
produces her certificate to the Registrar of Births and Deaths.
The wife has to rely on the cooperation of her late husband's relatives
to obtain the death certificate. Some of these relatives out rightly
"disown" the wife or in a situation where there is more
than one wife, they may favor one over the other. The handling of
such disputes at the courts have not inspired confidence either
in women because they have ruled against women in unregistered marriages
even to the extent of calling them concubines. Therefore in the
absence of the death certificate some women have been labelled mere
girlfriends and have been chased from the marital home and walking
away empty handed. Most of these women do not have means to pursue
the legal process to the full. The relatives of the late husband
literally pounce on the estate and help themselves to property that
was acquired jointly by the wife and her deceased husband. In the
research on gender, HIV/Aids and the law from a rights based approach,
WLSA Zimbabwe worked with Gweru Women Aids Prevention Association
(GWAPA) and its affiliates of Zvishavane Women Aids Prevention Association
(ZWAPA) and Shurugwi Women Aids Prevention Association (SWAPA).
These are organizations founded and run by sex workers. Most of
the women stated that they turned to sex work after losing all they
had worked for when their husband died and they were disowned by
the husband's family. They resort to unprotected sex since it "pays"
more. Put simply, the economic hardships that they endure makes
them engage in transactional sex. Although some have tried to engage
in incoming generating projects (others even successfully), others
are lured back into sex work. The situation has been worsened by
the economic down turn in Zimbabwe beginning in 1998. By engaging
in unprotected sex, they increase the risk of infection or re-infection
with HIV.
It is therefore
WLSA Zimbabwe conclusion that the non- recognition of unregistered
customary law marriages places the greatest impediment to women
in such situations from accessing property and the death of their
customary law husbands.
of recognition of unregistered marriages
Access to property
and inheritance is an issue of economic survival. Equal and unfettered
access to property and inheritance rights will ensure that women
have access to resources. It will lead to more economic opportunities,
higher security and less dependence on male relatives or transactional
sex. Zimbabwe already protects legally the inheritance rights of
women in unregistered marriages. Recognizing such marriages will
remove barriers in obtaining death certificates, registering the
estates and inheriting the property. Ultimately, it will result
in economic security and thus a reduction in poverty and economic
dependence. This will allow widows to be in a better position to
negotiate safe sex therefore reducing the risk to HIV infection
or re -infection.
WLSA Zimbabwe
recommends the enactment of legislation recognizing unregistered
customary law marriages as full marriages in fulfillment of the
protective role of the law. This will enable such women to secure
death certificates, register and administer their late husband's
estate and inherit property as outlined in the Administration of
Estates Amendment Act of 1997.

Local playwright Caitlin Gilman taps into fiction's increasingly pervasive dystopia trend with her adaptation of "Life Is a Dream," the Spanish Golden Age play by Pedro Calderón de la Barca. Ghost Light Theatricals is presenting the work at Ballard Underground.
As is the case with many re-imagined classics, the updates here feel almost entirely superfluous. The fact that countries have been transformed into corporations and people wear era-bending clothing doesn't exactly illuminate Calderón's themes in new and exciting ways. And Gilman's added futuristic elements put considerable strain on the production, which is woefully inadequate at recreating high-tech holding cells and opulent executive chambers.
Still, the core of Gilman's interpretation doesn't stray too far. The narrative structure is engaging and efficient, staying fairly faithful to the original's series of events, while changing one often maligned character's fate to give her some more agency. More importantly, Calderón's lyrical philosophizing remains intact.
The Poland of the original here becomes, in director Roy Arauz's staging, Polonia, a corporation with a sort of "Brave New World" caste system, where citizens are assigned specific career paths and segregated into sectors. Segismundo (Robert Hankins) has it the worst, imprisoned alone in a virtual reality, barely aware of the real world until an itinerant young woman, Rosaura (Lindsay Evans), and her companion (Gail Hebert) break into his cell while looking for shelter.

Most Read Stories
Segismundo is no ordinary prisoner; he's the son of Basilio (David Klein), the head of Polonia. A prophecy foretold of Segismundo's potential for great destruction, but a retiring Basilio feels he ought to take a risk on his true heir, much to the disappointment of Estrella (Kelly Johnson) and Astolfo (Gabriel Sedgemore), rival executives jockeying for the head position.
In a production stocked with an enthusiastic but inconsistent cast, the presence of the veteran Klein is an enormous asset. His authoritative but thoughtful Basilio is the kind of polished performance that elevates the work of every other actor fortunate to be in its orbit.
The revenge plotting, hidden identities and political intrigue of "Life Is a Dream" make it narratively irresistible, but its existential ponderings are what make it a classic. Hankins isn't the most convincing as a suddenly bloodthirsty, capricious Segismundo, but his rendition of the character's vexed, contemplative soliloquy on the nature of reality and dreams is an admirable version of the play's signature moment.

Tallahassee, FL (AP) - State wildlife officials say a Panhandle deer hunter made a bad mistake when he shot himself in the foot while standing on a tree limb.
Ronald Mills, 39, was able to climb off the tree and drive
himself to Tallahassee Regional Medical Center after the
Wednesday-morning accident in rural Leon county.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says Mills
was standing on the tree limb and resting his gun on his boot when
he accidentally discharged the rifle.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is one of the most important infections in renal transplant recipients [1-5]. Exposure to the virus, as indicated by the presence of detectable immunoglobulin G (IgG) anti-CMV antibodies in the plasma, increases with age in the general population and is present in more than two-thirds of donors and recipients prior to transplantation [1]. It is therefore common for the donor and/or recipient to be CMV positive at the time of transplantation.
CMV can be transmitted from the donor either by blood transfusion or by the transplanted kidney; the concurrent administration of immunosuppressive drugs to prevent rejection further increases the risk of clinically relevant CMV disease, with induction therapy principally being associated with an increased risk of disease [6,7]. Thus, both the recipient and the donor are routinely tested for anti-CMV antibodies prior to transplantation. (See "Evaluation for infection before solid organ transplantation".)
CMV is a significant underlying cause of morbidity and mortality in the renal transplant setting [8,9]. :
●This was shown in a study using data from the United States Renal Data System in which donor and recipient CMV serostatus was available for over 17,000 deceased-donor renal transplant recipients [8]. Based upon a multivariate analysis, when transplanted into CMV-negative recipients, kidneys from CMV-positive donors were associated with significantly higher incidence of CMV disease, allograft loss, and overall costs compared with those from CMV-negative donors.
●The impact of CMV on overall mortality was examined in a prospective, single-center study of almost 500 patients who did not receive induction therapy or CMV prophylaxis [9]. Patients were monitored by weekly CMV pp65 antigenemia for 100 days and followed for a median length of time of 66 months. Despite the absence of induction therapy and maintenance immunosuppressive therapy with cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), and low-dose prednisone, CMV-antigenemia was detectable in over 60 percent of patients in the first 100 days after transplant. Compared with those without CMV, CMV disease was associated with a relative risk (RR) of overall mortality of 2.5, and, importantly, asymptomatic CMV infection was associated with a RR of overall mortality of 2.9.

Plato's Myths

References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0521887909, Hardcover)In archaic societies myths were believed to tell true stories - stories about the ultimate origin of reality. For us, on the contrary, the term 'myth' denotes a false belief. Between the archaic notion of myth and ours stands Plato's. This 2009 volume is a collection of ten studies by eminent scholars that focus on the ways in which some of Plato's most famous myths are interwoven with his philosophy. The myths discussed include the eschatological myths of the Gorgias, the Phaedo, the Republic and Laws 10, the central myths of the Phaedrus and the Statesman, and the so-called myth of the Noble Lie from the Republic. The mythical character of the Timaeus cosmology is also amply discussed. The volume also contains seventeen rare Renaissance illustrations of Platonic myths. The contributors argue that in Plato myth and philosophy are tightly bound together, despite Plato's occasional claim that they are opposed modes of discourse.

Andrew Bujalski's "Beeswax" - which screened at both the Berlin and SXSW Film Festivals earlier this year - has been acquired for U.S. distribution by The Cinema Guild.
Set in Austin, the film is the story of twins, one of whom owns a second hand shop. Described by indieWIRE's Eugene Hernandez in an interview with Bujalski during Berlin, the film is "short on plot but full of chatty interplay between its characters, and features a host of performances by players in the local Austin film scene. Filmmaker Kyle Henry is the local staffer at the vintage store, SXSW's Janet Pierson portrays the lesbian lover of the twins' Mom, the Zellner Brothers have small roles, and filmmaker Alex Karposvsky ("Woodpecker") co-stars as a main love interest."
At the time of the interview, Bujalski was insecure about the film's distribution prospects given the tough climate for indie films in theaters. "One of the reasons it took me four years [to make "Beeswax"] was that I spent a lot of that time being a distributor," Bujalski told Hernandez.
The distribution deal was negotiated by Ryan Krivoshey, Director of Distribution for The Cinema Guild with Houston King, Executive Producer of "Beeswax" which will open in New York on August 7 at Film Forum, followed by a national release.
"There is a moment in 'Funny Ha Ha' when it becomes apparent that you are watching the debut of an exceedingly talented writer and director. 'Mutual Appreciation' built on that promise, and now with 'Beeswax,' only his third feature film, Andrew has delivered a sharp, smartly written, mature work that will appeal not only to his existing fans but to a whole new audience," commented Ryan Krivoshey, in a statement. "We are very excited to be working with Andrew and his team on the release of this film."
Andrew Bujalski previously directed "Funny Ha Ha" (2002) and "Mutual Appreciation" (2005), and is considered a key figured in the Mumblecore "movement" (though in the aforementioned interview with Hernandez, notes he's "not crazy" about that term).

Maternal-Fetal Medicine (68th Street, J-130)
Practice Info
The division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) at Weill Cornell Medicine enjoys international acclaim for the quality of comprehensive and innovative care our specialists provide for women and their fetuses during high risk pregnancies. The physicians within our division are all board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and have subspecialty board certification in MFM. These doctors are academic leaders who bring to every patient the benefits of the most advanced knowledge of the obstetrical, medical, genetic and surgical complications of pregnancy and their impact on both mother and fetus.
Most women seek consultation or care from an MFM specialist because they are either considering becoming pregnant and may be at risk; or because they are already pregnant and have a medical history or condition and they require the expertise of specialists with experience in managing complicated pregnancies with the best possible outcomes.
Medical complications of pregnancy addressed by Weill Cornell's MFM specialists include:
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Preeclampsia (toxemia)
- Diabetes or other endocrine disorders
- Kidney or gastrointestinal disease
- Infectious diseases
- Lupus in Pregnancy
MFM physicians also provide special care for otherwise healthy women, whose pregnancies are at increased risk due to other conditions, including:
- Abnormal AFP (alpha fetoprotein) blood test
- Expected twins, triplets or more
- Recurrent pre-term labor and delivery
- Premature rupture of membranes
- Recurrent pregnancy loss
- Suspected fetal growth restriction (baby not growing enough)
Delivering outstanding medical care with compassion and concern for each patient is part of Weill Cornell Medicine's over 100-year tradition of excellence in academic medicine. If you or your unborn child has been diagnosed with a high-risk condition, consider a consultation with one of our MFM specialists who can provide the highest level of assessment and care throughout your pregnancy. We also work closely with the physicians in the Perinatal Center to help coordinate every aspect of care for you and your pregnancy.

Concert kicks off big tribute to San Diego featuring Hollywood composer and San Diego locals
Starts noon Sunday at Border Field State Park,free
SAN DIEGO - Two symphonies will collaborate Sunday to prove music knows no borders.
Part of the San Diego Symphony and part of Tijuana's La Orquestra De Baja California will perform together at Friendship Park.
Although they will play next to each other, each group will perform from their respective side of the border, right by the beach.
The concert kicks off a tribute to San Diego with a song written about San Diego by Bill Conti, the composer of the theme song for the movie "Rocky" and one of Hollywood's most sought after composers.
A team reached out to under-served communities through cultural festivals and the Internet and encouraged people to submit their songs and stories. More than 300 people responded and 18 people were chosen to contribute to the song.
The song was part of a two-year project called "Your Song, Your Story" led by the San Diego Symphony.
"What's unique about this is we take everything from Mexican dance, Taiko drumming, Guamanian dance, Tahitian dance ... it's going to be fantastic," said Leonor Perez, who is with the San Diego Symphony.
Conti's magic weaved everything into a unique 24-minute orchestral piece. Performances will include a big screen video display of San Diegans as well as live performers.
Sunday's performance starts at noon and is free. Parking is $5.
The first performance is downtown at Symphony Hall on Wednesday.

The Programmers and Organizers of the SXSW Film Conference & Festival in Austin, which takes place next March, took to Reddit yesterday to answer questions in a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything). The SXSW team shared tips about what filmmakers should and shouldn't do when applying to SWSX and provided insight into what sorts of films they accept.
Here are their top 5 tips for filmmakers:
1. Don't apply until you're ready.
"During the submission process filmmakers often rush to get us an early cut instead of taking the time to make sure they are happy with their picture lock, since we will only watch the first submitted cut it is important to be sure you are happy with your edit, we continue taking submission until November 14th and every film gets watched so take your time and be happy with your edit!" - Blake Kammerdiener, Film Submissions & Production Coordinator
2. Premiere status matters.
"It really is all about the work! We're looking for original and/or strong work to premiere. So premiere status is a factor, and is quality. A lot of times we turn down films for being too 'formulaic' and that can ring true at an indie DIY level, as much as more conventional, commercial fare." - Janet Pierson, Head of SXSW Film
3. You can submit to Sundance and SXSW.
"You should submit to both! There are certainly areas where our tastes intersect, but plenty of room for films that work better for us versus them, and vice versa. While we are primarily a premiere festival, we have an entire 'Festival Favorites' section dedicated to films we love that have premiered elsewhere, so just because a film plays Sundance it doesn't necessarily preclude playing with us.
"Ultimately, you should know your film and who it is for. Our audiences are movie-crazed and excited for films that have a fresh spark to them - be it an edgy comedy, zeitgeisty doc or out-of-its-mind animated short. We get to be a little rougher around the edges here, and we love it." - Rebecca Feferman, Head of Media Relations and Programmer
4. Shaky camerawork is okay, but bad sound is a 'deal breaker.'
"Bad sound is a deal-breaker. Other than that, the style should support the content. Sometimes shaky camera ('Blair Witch Project') IS the point. But you can't come back from bad sound." - Janet Pierson
5. Ultimately, it's all about the quality of the work.
like original voices, and work that moves us, whether to tears ('Short
Term 12'), laughter ('GIRLS)', screams ('Cheap Thrills'), intellectual
engagement ('William and the Windmill') for example."

Index of Memorial Resolutions and Biographical Sketches
View in portable document format.
Govindas Vishnoodas Desani, journalist, public speaker, novelist, and professor of philosophy, was a pioneer of a modern, or postmodern, Indian sensibility. Opposed to Gandhi's noncoöperation policy during World War II, Desani was at once a champion of Eastern ideas and a critic of religious practices. His novel, All About H. Hatterr (1948), is a classic of the Indo-Anglian genre. There and in the prose poem Hali, he uses colloquialisms of both London and Delhi to achieve melodies in a passionate voice, drawing on the symbolisms of two cultures.
Born in Nairobi in 1909, and raised in India, Desani traveled on his own to England at the young age of eighteen where he was recognized as a prodigy and granted a readership at the British Museum. In his twenties, he returned to India as a correspondent for the Times of India, Reuters, and the Associated Press. Desani lectured in the employ of the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway on the antiquities of Rajputana, Ajmer, and Delhi. Traveling throughout the Subcontinent as a journalist but often styling himself as a seeker of religious truth, he encountered gurus and fakirs in their own settings and on their own terms, gathering experience that would inform his fiction. Back in England during the war, he was a lecturer and BBC broadcaster. After publishing Hatterr in 1948 to immediate acclaim (in a week the book went into a second printing), Desani again returned to India in the fifties, becoming, in the following decade, a provocative cultural commentator for a popular newspaper magazine. Desani immigrated to the U.S. in 1968 to teach Eastern religion and philosophy. He taught at UT as a lecturer in the spring of 1967-68 and 1968-69, and was appointed professor of philosophy at in the spring of 1970.* He retired and became professor emeritus in 1978. G.V. Desani died in Dallas, November 15, 2001.
Desani was an autodidact who reports running away from school as a youth three times, reaching England while still a minor. Fortunate in having his talent recognized by George Lansbury, leader of the Labor Party, the teenager spent a privileged year in the British Museum, with access to the world's greatest collection of Indian art. Desani returned to India to make his own way as a correspondent for London newspapers. Other opportunities opened and he began a career as a lecturer known for a style both entertaining and eloquent. During World War II, Desani was tapped for service as an adult educator and employed by the British Armed Forces and the Imperial Institute among several distinguished government and private institutions. Speaking to overflowing audiences in Edinburgh, Glascow, Manchester, and other venues, he gave talks simultaneously broadcast to thousands of troops stationed in Britain. Literary critic Anthony Burgess writes in a preface to a revised edition of Hatterr in 1972 that he remembers Desani's oratory showing "in live speech the vitality of the British rhetorical tradition—brilliant in Burke and Macaulay, decadent in Churchill, now dead." In marked contrast to Gandhi in India and to Nehru who acceded to Gandhi's moral authority joining him to urge Indians not to help the British war effort, Desani encouraged Hindus like everyone else to resist German and Japanese enslavement.
Desani wrote Hatterr during and immediately after the war, and garnered international fame as well as sufficient royalties to allow him to pursue his own interests. He returned to India and Burma in the fifties, and often for hours secluded himself for meditation. Again he sought out the proficient in Eastern spirituality, traveling as far as Japan for instruction in a Buddhist meditation technique. Though he published the poem Hali in 1952 and occasionally lectured, Desani was mostly silent about this latest round of sadhana. When he returned to journalism in the sixties, we see complex reactions, however, and encounter an opinionated man. He has practically become one of the seven sages immortalized in Hatterr. Polymath in regular, lengthy contributions to the Illustrated Weekly of India, Desani ranged over the foibles of the Foreign Ministry, hooliganism on Holi, merits and demerits of English books and Hindi movies, Nehru's economic policies, and commercialism being imported from the US. He also contributed short fictional pieces, some of the best of which are republished in Hali and Collected Stories (1991). His writing is always lively.
In 1968, Desani, approaching sixty, came to the U.S. invited by The University of Texas as part of an Exchange Visitor Program, and joined the faculty in Austin. He taught one course per semester for eleven years. In 1981, he was visiting professor at Boston University. In the seventies, Desani was a voice on campus for calm, non-ideological analysis amidst the tumult of generational conflict and the anti-war movement, teaching courses on yoga and Eastern mysticism. He remained opposed to Gandhiism then current in the U.S. Professor Desani was much beloved by his students and a wider community in Texas. Rotund, white-haired, handsome, and cheerful, he defied the stereotype of the morose ascetic. Colleagues remember his superb Indian cuisine. He was also a sophisticated gem collector. As a philosopher, Desani was a skeptic in a venerable tradition of Buddhist anti-intellectualism maintained by some of the most intellectual of writers in the long history of Eastern ideas. His lectures had such titles as "How Is the Inexpressible to be Expressed?" and "Down with Philosophy!"
Novelists who acknowledge a debt to Desani include Salmon Rushdie and Amitav Ghosh. Ghosh writes that Hatterr employs at once "a profoundly resourceful defence of certain non-Western spiritual and metaphysical ideas" and "a technique of evasion through which Desani questions and undermines the presuppositions of a certain kind of totalizing modernity." Reissued in 1970 and again in 1972 with a preface by Anthony Burgess and a new chapter, All About H. Hatterr seems to be something of a cult object among a generation of Indian writers. T. S. Eliot and E. M. Forster praised it when the first edition came out in 1948. Burgess pronounces its speech "Whole Language . . . not pure English; it is, like the English of Shakespeare, Joyce and Kipling, gloriously impure." In a review in Time, Christopher Portersfield says that Hatterr is "one of those genuine literary rarities, the lost-and-found masterpiece."

We've taken the most popular model from a large swing set manufacturer that supplies many of the "Big Box" stores and have compared it to our swing set to show you the shortcuts and lower quality you would get with other manufacturers.
|Splinter Free Redwood and Cedar
|Strong Enough For Adults
|2" x 6" Planking vs. 1" x 6"
When compared side by side with other leading swing set manufacturers, you will easily see why Kid's Creations offers the most safe and durable swing sets in the industry.
At first glance some people will think a swing set is a just a wooden frame with swings, fort or a deck and a slide. Take a closer look and answer these questions;
Many parents don't consider these questions when purchasing a swing set, but they should.
To begin with, our swing sets are made using only 100% genuine redwood and cedar. The reasons are simple; redwood and cedar is naturally resistant to erosion, virtually splinter free and doesn't need to be treated each year with costly finishes and protective coats of insect repellents. Pressure treated pine and metal simply can not match the strength and durability of redwood and cedar. In addition, pine needs constant maintenance to prevent rot and decay and metal is easily eroded over time by weather and UV light.
|True 4"x4" support beams - strong and sturdy
|Higher load capacity
Another aspect that makes our swing sets stronger than our competition is our steel swing connectors. There are many areas of a swing set to check for safety, but none are as important as the connectors that lock swings, monkey bars, slides and other accessories in place to the frame. Kid's Creations does not play around when it comes to safety and we make sure every connection on every swing set is a sturdy steel connector that provides a full range of motion without locking. This is one of the reasons why we know we offer the best swing sets.
|Thicker Bolts
|Thicker Screws
|Stronger Swing Support
|Quality Construction and Child Friendly
|Strong Enough For Parents
|Durable For Years Of Play

Chairman Royce Statement on Oversight Committee Hearing with Benghazi Whistleblowers
Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued the following statement on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee's hearing on the Benghazi terrorist attacks:
"Today's hearing reaffirms the flaws with the Accountability Review Board's accounting of the Benghazi terrorist attack. That review was not thorough, as I have maintained, and as we heard again today.
"The ARB review found that the responsibility for the 'systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies' within the State Department stopped at the Assistant Secretary level. We heard again today that this was not the case."
Note: Eric Nordstrom, the former lead security officer in Libya, noted in his submitted written testimony: "[I]t is not what is contained within the [ARB's] report that I take exception to but what is left unexamined. Specifically, I'm concerned with the ARB's decision to focus its attention at the Assistant Secretary level and below."
Chairman Royce has introduced legislation to restructure the Accountability Review Board process, increasing its independence from the Secretary of State. HR 1768 (Accountability Review Board Reform Act of 2013) does the following:

Quick Tips for Parents and Caregivers
Children need about 60 minutes of physical activity every day. Try breaking this up into several 10- to 15-minute daily play sessions. A little movement really adds up!
Make reading active by taking cues from stories: Is a character running? You and your child can run in place. Are children in the story dancing? Dance along, too!
If rain is keeping you indoors, get moving by playing some favorite music and doing a sunny jig to chase the clouds away. Or, BE the weather—swirl like the wind, or stomp and clap like thunder.
Explore the great outdoors! Take a family hike around the neighborhood, or a nature walk through the park.
Together, plan a meal that includes at least three different colors, like red peppers, black beans, and brown rice. At mealtime, call out colors for your child to munch on.
Involve your child in grocery shopping. Help her make her own shopping list and ask her to hunt for each item.
Challenge your child to try a new food at mealtime. Focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, or low-fat dairy products.
Explore "anytime" and "sometime" foods. Explain to your child that fruits and vegetables are "anytime" foods. They are so good for you that you can eat them every day. Foods like cookies, chips, and soda are called "sometime" foods because they are high in sugar, fat, or salt and should only be eaten once in a while.

5 Sweet Ways to Bake with Tea
Recipes from The Kitchn
Did you know that tea leaves can actually go bad? Depending on the type, tea has essential oils in it that can go rancid if it's sat around for too long. Don't let it get to that point, bake up some of these tea-infused treats and serve them with your next afternoon cup instead!
Teas are essentially no different than spices - they're dried, concentrated bits of flavor. Some are herbal, some are sweet, and others are smoky, but they can all add a really unexpected, interesting note to your next baking project. Here are a couple of sweet recipes to get you started:
- Mixed Berry & Jasmine Tea Scones
- Chai Tea Cookies
- Peach and Spice Tea Muffins
- Earl Grey Tea Cookies
- Basic American Biscotti

Ojaitourney.org | @uclatennis | Pac-12 Tournament Central
Ojai, Calif. - The top-seeded UCLA men's tennis team booked its spot in the final of the Pac-12 Championships on Friday afternoon, posting a 5-0 semifinal victory over fourth-seeded Cal at Libbey Park in downtown Ojai. With the win, the Pac-12 regular-season champion Bruins (22-2) are just one win away from capturing the conference's inaugural team tournament title. UCLA will play second-seeded USC on Saturday at 4:00 p.m. The Trojans downed third-seeded Stanford, 4-0 in the other semifinal.
Friday actually marked the fourth meeting between the two conference rivals this year, with the previous three contests all going in UCLA's favor. Although UCLA barely edged Cal in the first two meetings this season, the Bruins' confidence was high after registering a 7-0 win over the Bears less than two weeks ago at the Los Angeles Tennis Center. UCLA wasted no time getting on the board in Friday's match, taking the doubles point with wins at court Nos. 2 and 3. Marcos Giron and Warren Hardie posted the clinching win at the No. 3 spot when they downed Gregory Bayane and Andrew Scholnick, 8-5.
Already with a 1-0 advantage, UCLA came out and took four of six first sets in singles play. Sophomore Clay Thompson, who checks in at No. 73 in the latest ITA singles rankings, posted a slight upset at the No. 2 spot to give the Bruins a 2-0 lead, downing 56th-ranked Nick Andrews, 6-2, 6-3. Playing down on Libbey's lower courts at the No. 6 position, freshman Dennis Mkrtchian, who had to fight off two sets points in the first set against Chase Melton, eventually posted a 7-6(6), 6-3 win to give UCLA a 3-0 lead.
The Bruins then had two matches finish within a minute of each other, as freshman Dennis Novikov clinched the win at court No. 3 when he downed Bayane, 6-2, 7-5. Sophomore Adrien Puget accounted for the team's fifth point of the afternoon, as he was able to beat Riki McLachlan, 7-5, 6-2 at court No. 5 before play was suspended. With the win, Puget, the reigning Pac-12 Player of the Week, extended his singles winning streak to 18.
UCLA split its two matches with USC this season, as the Trojans notched a 6-1 win over the Bruins at the LATC on Feb. 29, and UCLA registered a 4-3 road win over USC on April 20, halting the Trojans' 45-match winning streak.

Interventional Radiology
525 East 68th Street, Payson Pavilion, 5
New York, NY 10065
Practice Info
Welcome to the Interventional Radiology division at New York Presbyterian hospital – Weill Cornell Medical College!
Interventional radiologists are radiologists who specialize in image-guided interventions. We use the latest medical imaging and device technologies to perform minimally invasive therapies that would otherwise require open surgery. Our subspecialty has evolved rapidly with the evolution of medical technology over the past 40 years, and currently we offer a wide variety of treatment options for a vast number of diseases.
Some possibilities include angioplasty/stenting, embolization, sclerotherapy, vascular access and tumor treatment in patients of all ages.
These are just a handful of examples:
1. Let's say you or a loved one comes in after a motor vehicle accident, and a CT scan shows that there is a ruptured artery in the spleen causing active bleeding. We are able to use catheters, live x-rays (fluoroscopy), and embolic (blocking) agents to get to the artery and stop the bleeding, through just a small artery in the groin. The alternative would be to take out the spleen (splentectomy), which would require a large scar across the abdomen.
2. Say you have been diagnosed with a deep venous thrombosis (DVT), or clot in the veins of the leg or pelvis. The concern with such clots is that they can travel to the lungs and cause serious problems. Again, using fluoroscopy, we enter the venous system through a tiny nick in the neck or groin and insert an umbrella-like device, an IVC filter, which catches these large, potentially fatal clots. Moreover, for certain people, we can remove the clot in the vein in a similarly minimally invasive way to prevent long-term pain and swelling.
3. What if you had just been diagnosed with a liver tumor? Instead of surgically removing the tumor, we can stop its blood supply and deliver local chemotherapy by finding the artery leading to the tumor. Alternatively, or in conjunction, we can enter directly through the skin via a tiny nick overlying the liver and deliver high energy or freezing temperatures to kill the tumor using CT or ultrasound guidance.
The range of procedures we perform with these technologies is vast, and new ways of treating patients with our minimally invasive methods are being discovered almost daily. Enjoy navigating our website and meeting our top-tier physicians. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.

I went to see it in an Upper East Side theater. There were a lot of violent scenes. There is a scene at the beginning where a man gets his guts ripped out. There is another scene where everyone in a bar is shot pretty graphically. There is an entire massacre of a bunch of people. Through all of these, the theater remained silent, save for some popcorn chewing noises. And then – then there was a scene where a group of Upper East Side residents were pulled out of their apartments and had their fur coats pulled off and a collective horrified gasp rippled through the theater. To be fair, poor people also drank their champagne.
I am going to go out on a limb and say that there were some very tense dinner table conversations about how it was shocking that the doormen in the movie – the first line of defense against intruders! – did not stop Bane's people from pillaging 740 Park. Why? Why were they not more helpful? Alfred would never have let this happen, which is just another reminder that you really need a faithful family retainer. A lot of doormen are not going to be getting Christmas bonuses this year, is what I'm saying.
Beyond that, the movie spends a good deal of time depicting the horrors of the French revolution. Bane proves himself to be a dictateur sanguinaire which is pretty unsurprising, although, I mean, you shouldn't generalize about people who wear face masks. I guess you can generalize about people who blow up football fields, though. Suffice to say, shoeshine boys from the stock exchange all join Bane's army and rampage through the streets looting, and beating old gentlemen in tweed jackets and… starting small trash can fires? I don't know why there are so many trash can fires when there is still power in Gotham, but okay. That's what people do when they are being angry proles, I guess. Angry proles have really bad circulation and are cold all the time.
Meanwhile, traitors to the revolution (anyone sane who does not love starting trash can fires) is "exiled" onto an ice flow. We watch as they desperately try to scuttle on the ice to normal, non-revolutionary America. No one makes it and we watch and they plunge into the frigid water.
Even Catwoman – who initially loved stealing from the rich – is horrified. So horrified that she decides to help save the city.
There's some subplot about a microchip, but the entire lesson of the movie is "do not let poor people rise up. They are going to go Robspierre on you."
So, if you are a Republican, whenever people praise things like Occupy Wall Street, you can now snap back, "when Bane took over Gotham – was that a happy moment for you?" And, actually, some assholes will cross their arms and say "yeah" but, God, they are such assholes, and you will have to take out your pocket square and slap them in the fact with it, and then there will be a duel, and this is why people on the opposite ends of the political spectrum cannot get along and – Jesus! Why are you even fighting about Occupy Wall Street? It happened months ago! You're at a dinner party! Just talk about the quail they're serving (too bony!)
In conclusion: do you think Alfred was a Republican? Or an Obamican? Or is he like Stevens in Remains of the Day and just follows his employer's political opinions? Because I'm pretty sure Batman is a fascist.

If you like to read and enjoy hockey, I recommend you try to find a copy of Don Cherry's autobiography "Grapes". I read this years ago, it is outstanding. Cherry played minor league hockey and one of his coaches was Eddie Shore , who he refers to as "the old man". Many of Cherry's coaching techniques were learned by being a student of "the old man" , Shore was said to have been the toughest S.O.B. that ever played the game. He reportedly used to tie goalies to the crossbar in an effort to keep them standing up...he would've strangled Tim Thomas in the first practice!!!

New Inazuma Eleven Announced
Endo and friends challenge the world stage in soccer sequel.
Level-5 announced today a new entry in the Inazuma Eleven series. The new entry is titled Inazuma Eleven 3: Sekai e no Chousen (unofficially "World Challenge") and is set for Summer release on the DS.
Inazuma Eleven has thus far seen two installments on the DS. The first one had main character Mamoru Endo lead his team to become number one in Japan. The second one, released last year under separate "Fire" and "Blizzard" skus, had Endo face off against a team consisting of aliens.
For the third entry, Endo will be taking on the role of captain of a team called "Inazuma Japan" and will head off onto the world stage. Characters from past Inazuma Eleven games will team up with Endo for the new challenge. The team will be headed up by Michiya Kuon, a mysterious new coach.
Inazuma Eleven 3 will have some connectivity with Inazuma Eleven 2. One example involves character crossovers. Characters you've earned in Inazuma Eleven 2 will appear in Inazuma Eleven 3. Level-5 refers to the connectivity between the two titles as "Two Three Super Link."
The Inazuma Eleven series has shipped over 1.5 million units as of January 20.

Pimp My Artwork 071: Snow on the Roses
I woke up to snow on the roses. I sat there for a few moments watching the cat on the windowsill watching the birds as they flew to and from the feeder. I had woken up from disturbing dreams. The dreams weren't bad per se but they had brought up a lot of issues that I thought I had dealt with. In fact when I do wake I'm confused. I don't feel like I'm still dealing with them. I don't know it at the time but I'll get the answer unexpectedly later.
I'm annoyed that I have to write about these dreams because they address insecurities and I don't want to do that right now. I want to make coffee and curl up in my bed writing and reading. I want to be not stressed about a costume and how I'm going to get paintings to a show in the snow. And why is there snow in October?
When I shot the photo I lifted the roses in my hand. They hung head down as more snow fell around them. It was beautiful and sad at the same time. They looked so lovely in that layer of white crystals but I knew they were slowly dying. "There's snow on the roses" I called to Melissa and in that moment a series was born.
"Snow on the Roses" depicts an aspect of addiction that is hidden. The women in the project are friends, each of us a former addict. Looking at any one of us you'd probably never know. We're all accomplished, well received, put together respected individuals in our communities. Jess Butler posed the question: "How does one define a drug user?"
I don't know. People that use aren't bad people, there really isn't any good way to sum it up. You just have it in you, there's something that ticks, and it says "I need. I want."
I finished the facial studies for the pieces. I took three friends and myself and crafted individual works incorportating flowers, symbolism, and animal totems. I plan to make these pieces into life size altars. I'm working with peole to make them move and add multiple layers to the pieces. This isn't just my project anymore, this is a community project. This week I start building the model for the larger altars. Once that's finished we can see how to make it move. Step by step we push forward.
These are the women involved. I'm linking to their websites so you can explore their own personal pages, getting a feeling for what they are about.

Burglars target cars in Peoria church parking lots hoping to find garage door openers
PEORIA, AZ - Three cars have been targeted by burglars in different church parking lots in and near Peoria over the past five weeks, police said.
According to Peoria police Lt. Richard Scrivens Jr., the suspects took garage door openers and vehicle registrations from church-goers' cars while they attended services.
The thieves then drove to each victim's home, parked their vehicle inside the garage, shut the garage door and burglarized the home.
According to Scrivens, the suspects tracked the service times, so they knew how long they could spend in the homes.
Scrivens alerted residents to lock their glove boxes and carry their garage door openers with them.
"Remember, we cannot control a suspect's desire or ability to commit a crime. However, we can control their opportunity by taking a few extra steps and not leave valuables or garage door openers within your vehicle," Scrivens wrote in an email.
The alert does not name the churches that were targeted, but most of the churches in Peoria are aware of the issue.

. . . but you should watch it anyway . . . especially if you are worried about your children's future.
A lot of people complain about the state of education in the US and UK and want to return to the familiar patterns of the education system they grew up with. May I remind you that the people who made the current education mess are the products of that old system who used what they learned to gain power and make the system we have now. How many times do we have to repeat the same mistakes before we can admit that isn't the result we need?
Besides, a major failing of the old system was its utter failure to predict the future in which we now live. So, let's consider the possibility that it might also fail to predict significant elements of the mid-21st century, too. And see if we might imagine something better than any system we have seen so far.
Here's the movie: Ken Robinson on reforming education:
