For a handful of people, Clarice Lispector's "A Breath of Life" being published in English for the first time is very good news. Sadly, that handful is fairly small.
Lispector, an extraordinarily gifted writer who revolutionized Brazilian letters, was described as "that rare person who looked like Marlene Dietrich and wrote like Virginia Woolf." Ukrainian-born and Brazilian-bred Lispector died in 1977, one day shy of her 57th birthday. Thanks in no small part to the efforts of Ben Moser, translator and author of the 2009 biography "Why This World," Lispector has lately had something of a rebirth in America.
On May 31, New Directions will publish the first English-language version of "A Breath of Life" in tandem with new translations of three of her other works. The four, together, are a set.
"A Breath of Life" was originally published in Brazil, in the original Portuguese, after Lispector died of ovarian cancer. Like David Foster Wallace's "The Pale King," the manuscript was assembled posthumously by a trusted colleague — in this case, her friend and assistant Olga Borelli — and the author never had a chance to review the final product.
Structured as a dialogue between an author and a character of his creation, "A Breath of Life" is a weighty text, dealing with creativity and obliteration, imagination and emptiness, meditation and God, objects and philosophy. It has lines like, "My most intimate friend? A typewriter. There's a pleasant taste in my mouth when I think," in which Lispector detours language into unusual territory while tapping a resonant truth.
This twisting language is something Lispector was known for in Brazil more than in translation. Moser, who is the supervising editor of the New Directions series, writes of her "weird word choices, strange syntax, and lack of interest in conventional grammar." Previous English translations smoothed out those rough edges; these new translations bring them back.
That may be enough for "Agua Viva," originally published in 1973. Plotless and slim, "Agua Viva" is a first-person narrative of creation and time. "I'm stealthily entering into contact with a reality that is new to me and still doesn't have corresponding thoughts, much less any word that signifies it," Lispector writes. "It's more of a feeling beyond thought." Its seemingly fleeting, discursive jottings were actually painstakingly revised by Lispector, who worked on the book for three years; when it was published, it was hailed as the achievement of a master.
The same cannot be said for "A Breath of Life," which struggles with a muddiness that sets it apart from the other novels. In its best moments, the author and character take on different facets of the writerly imagination: the desire to narrate and to create. More often, however, their issues bleed and overlap, and the voices have a hard time remaining distinct. This crossing-over is acknowledged in the book — in fact, it's the only real action — but it leaves "A Breath of Life" feeling more labored than inspired.
Inspiration struck the young Lispector, who was just 23 when her first book, "Near to the Wild Heart," was published in 1943. Its title was taken from James Joyce's "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," an apt comparison. Like Joyce, Lispector strove to capture the quicksilver passage of thought, to inhabit its formulation and digression without a narrative overseer. It was a sensation, and made Lispector one of Brazil's most celebrated writers.
"Near to the Wild Heart" begins in the mind of Joana, a young girl in the presence of her father, as she observes the sounds and sights of the world in childlike close-up. Shifting to Joana as an adult, we see episodes of her unhappy youth and her heated relationship with her husband, Otavio. Then she discovers he's got a lover, and the betrayal compels her to make her way on her own. This doesn't give away too much — the plot is armature around which Lispector's brilliant intellect spins inquiry and philosophy on par with the best writers of the 20th century.
Always, Joana's internal narrative expands each moment into a universe of thought: wild, chaotic, ricocheting between despair and joy, contradictory and logical, utterly fierce. "She wanted even more: to be reborn always, to sever everything that she had learned, that she had seen and inaugurate herself in new terrain where every tiny act had meaning, where the air was breathed as if for the first time."
Joana tries to figure out what she wants and how to live in the world, feeling desire and emotion and thought at odds in her mutable self. "I slide from one truth to the next, always forgetting the first, always dissatisfied," she thinks. "Her life was made up of complete little lives, of whole, closed circles, which isolated themselves from one another.... It was always useless to have been happy or unhappy. And even to have loved. No happiness or unhappiness had been so strong that it had transformed the elements of her matter, giving her a single path, as the truth path must be."
Transformation and transmutation are to be found in the controlled, accomplished "The Passion According to G.H." Published originally in 1964, the book is the story of an upper-class woman who enters her maid's room and, in an extended zig-zagging mental riff about God, identity, love and different kinds of hell, works her way to killing, then eating, a roach. An act of transcendence, perhaps; a reference to Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis," most definitely.
This is exactly where Lispector should be, on the shelf with Kafka and Joyce. If in atomizing the world she can write like Virginia Woolf, imagine doing so without the Bloomsbury cohort of literary intellectuals. These four books showcase her intellectual heft, restless creative spirit, contradiction, humor and darkness — imagine the ferocity it took to begin, in Rio de Janeiro, all on her own.

About Me
I'm a long-time scout/scouter. Currently Troop Committee Chair for my son's Troop. I spent much of my youth in the pursuit of scouting. I earned Eagle in 1985 at the ripe old age of 14. Shortly thereafter I became the youngest recipient (in my lodge at the time) of the Founder's Award. I attended many NOAC and JLT conferences serving on staff at a few of these events. I left the folds of scouting for a time to get my career started and once my son was old enough to join Tiger Cubs I got right back into the thick of things.
I'm looking forward to many more years of scouting with my son...and beyond.

Killer of 2 NYC police officers reportedly impregnates guard
NEW YORK – A federal prison guard was charged Tuesday with having an illegal affair with an inmate convicted in one of New York's most notorious police killings, later becoming pregnant with his child.
Nancy Gonzalez, 29, was arrested Tuesday on charges she intentionally engaged in a sex act with Ronell Wilson while working the night shift at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. She became pregnant in June, a few months into the affair, according to court papers. Gonzalez appeared in court Tuesday visibly pregnant and crying, her hair pulled back in a ponytail, and was released on $150,000 bond.
"She's had a very tragic life," said her attorney, Anthony Rico. "She has long-term issues that affected her life and judgment."
Her family didn't comment as a swarm of photographers and television cameras surrounded them outside federal court. Gonzalez buried her head in Rico's shoulder while he spoke to reporters.
"These are very serious charges," he said, adding he wouldn't say whether Wilson pressured Gonzalez into the affair.
Wilson, 30, was a young gang member on Staten Island when he was convicted in the point-blank shootings of undercover officers James Nemorin and Rodney Andrews in a 2006 illegal gun sting gone awry. The officers were both shot in the back of the head. Wilson was sentenced to death, but the sentence was thrown out in 2010 by an appeals court based on prosecutorial error.
Wilson could still face death; a new jury will decide his fate. But the replay of the trial's penalty phase has been put off as Wilson's lawyers seek to convince a judge that he's ineligible for the death penalty because he's mentally disabled.
In November, a hearing was held on the claim, and a decision from Judge Nicholas Garaufis is pending, though it's unclear how Gonzalez's arrest will affect the motion.
Wilson was moved to solitary confinement in August while the reports of the relationship were investigated.
According to court papers, Gonzalez was seen by other inmates going in and out of Wilson's cell starting in March, meeting him in a vacant activity room next to his cell when other inmates were supposed to be sleeping.
"I took a chance because I was so vulnerable and wanted to be loved and now I am carrying his child," Gonzalez said, according to court papers.
She said she "kind of got sucked into his world," and that she "felt like, well, why not give him a child as far as giving him some kind of hope."
She confessed her relationship with Wilson to a different boyfriend, another inmate who had been under her supervision at the federal prison but is now housed at a state facility. She said it was over with Wilson, and that she was worried she would get into trouble.
After she became pregnant, Wilson's mother made contact, requesting a sonogram photo, according to court papers. Gonzalez said she was worried about the calls because she feared authorities would catch her.
"I know what's to come. I know what is going to be said about me," she said, according to court papers. "How am I going to explain this to this little boy? Mommy was in the military ... Mommy was a C.O., Mommy got wrapped up ... And then the opposite end is with a person who took lives. So how do you explain that?"

State delegation calls for stronger rail-safety measures
After a calamitous year in which four Metro-North Railroad passengers and two track workers were killed, members of Connecticut's congressional delegation are calling for legislation to push for new collision-avoidance technology and to strengthen safety procedures.
U.S. reps. Rosa DeLauro, Elizabeth Esty and Jim Himes gathered at Union Station in New Haven on Tuesday morning prior to boarding a train to Washington, D.C., where they plan to introduce the Rail Safety Enforcement Act.
The bill would force commuter railroads to submit a plan to implement the positive train-control system, which provides automatic braking to avoid collisions, no more than six months after the law takes effect. Rail lines where speeds exceed 25 mph would also have to install alerting devices to jolt inattentive engineers when trains exceed maximum speed limits.
Himes emphasized that in Connecticut's case, a focus on safety should not halt efforts to improve speed and quality of service that could be a cornerstone of reducing congestion and boosting the state's economy.
"Safety is the most important thing," Himes said. "But transportation and housing are absolutely at the core of what this state needs to do for jobs."
Also included in the bill is a provision for redundant protection systems for right-of-way workers to prevent trains from entering closed sections of track during maintenance or repair operations. It would also require comprehensive plans to reduce fatigue among engineers, right-of-way workers and other personnel.
Since last year, Metro-North has had two derailments -- one in the Bronx, N.Y., that killed four people as an allegedly groggy engineer entered a curve at nearly three times the maximum speed -- and has had two track workers killed by trains. A total of 129 people have been injured in the derailments, according to the railroad.
The installation of positive train-control technology was first mandated by Congress in 2008, following a California rail collision that killed 25 people.
Last week, President Barack Obama's administration introduced the Grow America Act, a $302 billion, four-year surface reauthorization bill, which included $2.4 billion for commuter railroads to install the train-control technology.
Art Guzzetti, vice president of policy for the American Public Transportation Association, which represents 29 commuter railroads nationwide including Metro-North, said the federal funding is necessary for railroads to move more quickly with new collision-avoidance technology.
Metro-North and other railroads also need federal help to obtain radio spectrum needed to operate the technology, which relies on Global Positioning Systems signaling track-side transponders, as well as latitude in developing systems for their individual territories, Guzzetti said.
"Without help on those three formidable hurdles, it is a mandate without the wherewithal to deliver it," Guzzetti said. "It is tough to put so many resources into the PTC basket, and it raises the question about all the other needs, many of which involve safety and a state of good repair."
Metro-North spokesman Aaron Donovan said Metro-North's ongoing efforts to revamp safety cover much of the bill.
"The railroad is currently addressing various components of the proposed legislation with actions such as eliminating or retrofitting all cars that lack alerters by the end of this year, broadening our existing fatigue-management program, expediting the implementation of positive train control and activating industry leading technology to keep employees on the tracks safe," Donovan said. "We appreciate the delegation's attention to these important issues and look forward to working with the delegation to further pursue our shared goal of enhanced safety."

Longtime Fox News Producer Testified In Support Of Russia's Anti-Gay Laws
Blog ››› ››› LUKE BRINKER
A former senior Fox News producer spoke out in support of Russia's anti-gay crackdown at a forum sponsored by the Duma's family committee and conservative religious groups.
Right Wing Watch reported on October 3 that an assemblage of international right-wing activists traveled to Moscow in June to support the Russian government's campaign to restore "traditional values," an effort that gained international visibility after the passage of laws banning the dissemination of "gay propaganda" and the adoption of children by same-sex couples and families from LGBT-friendly countries. Among the participants in a roundtable discussion titled "Traditional Values: The Future of the European Peoples" was longtime Fox News employee Jack Hanick:
Russian news reports mention that also present to give the American perspective was a man named Jack Hanick. On his LinkedIn page and in interviews, Hanick describes himself as a founding employee of Fox News, who worked there for 15 years as a news director. Fox News confirmed that Hanick was an employee from 1996 through 2011 where he worked in "a production role dealing with the visual aspects of the show" rather than in any "editorial capacity."
Hanick told the roundtable that God had called on Russia to "stand up for traditional values."
Right Wing Watch further noted that Hanick told a Russian magazine in August that he admired Russia's increasingly theocratic state. The Russian Orthodox Church has often colluded with President Vladimir Putin - and lent crucial support to the country's anti-gay laws - and Hanick thinks the U.S. has a lot to learn from this model.
"In Russia the issue of separation of church and state, obviously, is much less of an issue," Hanick reportedly told the magazine, "and I see this as a positive thing."
Hanick's LinkedIn profile states that as a member of the "start-up Team for the Fox News channel," he took a leading role in developing "the original look and feel of Fox News Channel." While he left the network two years ago, he'd likely be pleased that his erstwhile employer hasn't joined the international outcry against Russia's assault on LGBT people. Even as Russia flagrantly violates essential norms of international human rights law, Fox News has ignored the country's anti-gay crackdown.

Queen stars Roger Taylor and Brian May have lined up two London dates with American Idol star Adam Lambert for fans who were hoping to see the new band live at the newly-cancelled Sonisphere Festival.
The Queen stars recruited Lambert to belt out Freddie Mercury's hits at the British summer festival, but when it was scrapped last month, the duo scrambled to find a fitting London venue to stage an alternative.
Now drummer Taylor has revealed he'll be playing two concerts at the Hammersmith Odeon with May and Lambert in early July.
The duo performed Queen songs with the American star during the Idol finals in 2009 and at the MTV Europe Music Awards last year.
Taylor tells Billboard.com, "We're really excited about it. Adam… has this unbelievable range, like Freddie had range. Adam can really cover it. He's an extraordinary singer and a real talent. I feel he fits into our sort of theatricality."
The Queen stars will also perform with Lambert at a festival in Kiev, Russia, where they'll share the headliner spot with Elton John.

Developed by Spiders Studio for PlayStation®3, PlayStation®4, Xbox360®, the RPG Bound by Flame drags you into a heroic and desperate struggle, in which the Alliance eventually yielded in front of the inexorable advance of Deadarmy. From their castles of ice, the lord-sorcerers of Shadowcold now reign as masters on the continent and crush mercilessly the remnant resistance, of which you belong. When all hope appears to be lost, a demon of flames chooses you as its host...Create and customize a powerful warrior, develop your skills (combat, assassination and fire magic) and call upon the devastating powers of the demon within. Find, create and improve your weapons and armor, and find help from numerous companions to help you fight Shadowdragons, Leeches and the fearsome warriors of Deadarmy in perilous and spectacular real-time battles! Develop special binds with your companions such as romance, friendship or rivalry. Your decisions will bear heavy consequences...will you struggle to keep your humanity, or will you be tempted by the demon's power and let it take over?
Mathras is certainly no ordinary undead. Educated and refined, he lived before the time of the Lords of Ice, even before any known civilization.
Sadly for him, Mathras does not have enough time to explain that he's not even remotely allied with the Deadarmy before humans try to murder him.
He will join the cause of the hero out of simple curiosity, or perhaps fun, but beware: on the battlefield, Mathras casts lethal spells on his enemies, controlling their minds and transforming them into allies during the fight.
After all, Mathras has had the last 3,000 years to perfect the art of jousting and fighting, skills he applies equally as well through words as well as magic.
Randval is a warrior, last survivor of an ancient clan that was decimated by the Deadarmy. He now lives with the burden of regaining the lost honor of his clan, or to die trying.
According to his strict code of honor, Randval protects the village of Valvenor, waiting for an opportunity to claim this honor back.
His meeting with the Hero of Bound by Flame will give Randval this opportunity he was longing for. The seemingly impossible quest the Hero has thrown himself in is an epic, heroic and desperate goal definitely worthy of the code of honor of Randval's clan. Randval is an extremely disciplined fighter, who is ready to sacrifice his life if it is necessary. He considers the demonic powers of the hero as a mean to fight the Ice Lords.
On the battlefield, he will rush into the enemies, taunting them to get their attention and have them focus their attacks on him, giving his allies freedom of movement and relative safety to attack.
Shy yet ingenuous and combative, the wizard Sybil is the daughter of the leader of the Order of the Red Scholars.
Growing up under the cover of the order, she traveled around the world to gather and centralize knowledge of all kind. On the battlefield, you can count on her offensive powers to fight your enemies, but she is also specialized in the art of healing, magically tending to your wounds in the heat of battle. Diplomatic, very smart, Sybil is pushed by her curiosity to join the Hero in his quest. She will help him to understand his new demonic inner self, and is the first to worry about the consequences the extensive use of his demonic powers may involve.
Rhelmar is an Elf with his own sense of justice. Alas, it rarely fits the definition the rest of the world gives to justice'!
A former outlaw, Rhelmar rejects the Elves' neutral state in the ongoing conflict, and takes and active part in the fight against the Deadarmy.
Considered a pariah amongst his people, Rhelmar is determined to act as he feels right, even if it implies risking his own life.
On the battlefield, he's an elite archer who can inflict lethal damage to his opponents from range... but he is also more than able with a dagger, when close range fights are inevitable.
Fierce and powerful, nothing will stop the mysterious witch Edwen from getting what she wants.
She joins the hero to assist him in his quest, but seems to be guided by an all too personal thirst for vengeance.
In her opinion, the hero's demonic influence is a mean to reach his goals, and he should embrace it to harness its powers.
She might become your best ally in the looming battle... if you bow to her will, that is.

text: The Bristol Selectboard faces an interesting question concerning its proper role in the upcoming Act 250 board's ruling on the proposed Lathrop gravel pit. It is common for town selectboard's to contribute to such hearings with information concerning how the proposed development fits in with the town plan and any other matters that may contribute to the board's over-all understanding. The dilemma facing the Bristol selectboard is how strongly they should present the controversial nature of the proposal and the public's opposition to it in a letter to the Act 250 board.

Tagged: I officially hate the Rays
I Officially Hate The Rays
CC Fails To Get #20 As Yanks Lose Miserably
Who in the world do the Rays think they are? What is there problem? I have lost all respect for them. What they did to Tex was uncalled for. And that ruined the atmosphere of the whole game. Poor CC. I am so mad at the Rays. I used to have a lot of respect for them, but now I hate them. The Yankees lost 13-4 last night, but that's not why I hate them.
Pitching Analysis: Oh, CC! What happened?! The poor thing! This was the worst performance I've seen from CC. And he didn't get his win. It's so sad. CC really struggled last night. He failed to get out of the 3rd inning. CC allowed 9 runs (5 earned) on 8 hits and 5 walks. CC got into bases loaded jams in all 3 innings. He threw 82 stressful pitches. His command was way off, and he just looked uncomfortable. After what happened to Tex, I think CC's mind changed gears and he just couldn't execute on his pitches. Whatever the reason, CC was dreadful last night. Usually when a Yankee pitcher stinks, I get angry. But last night, I became pitiful. I felt so bad for CC. It was hard for me to watch such a good pitcher struggle like that. I was relieved when Girardi pulled him. CC was furious with his performance. After being taken out, he violently threw his glove at the water bottles in the dugout. Poor CC.
Oh, CC! I still love you. Don't be too hard on yourself!
The bullpen actually did a nice job last night, all things considered. Albaladejo, Robertson, Bruney, Coke, Hughes, and Marte pitched. Albaladejo gave up 2 runs, and Robertson and Hughes gave up 1. They knew the game was out of reach, so they just threw strikes. Oh! I just feel awful for CC…..
Defensive Analysis: Tex made a big boo-boo in the 1st. His error forced CC into more of a jam. But you can't blame the whole thing on Tex. CC obviously didn't have it last night. And Tex has been superb for us this whole year. I feel bad about what those stupid Rays did to Tex….. Nick Swisher made a Nick Swisher-ish play in the outfield. A sharp liner was hit over Cano's head and into right field, and as the ball was rolling on the turf, Swish dived for it! But he missed, and Upton wound up with a bases clearing triple. Ahh, Swisher…. Hey that's another thing I hate about the Rays. Scattered effort. Upton didn't try all year, and he went 5-5 and hit for the cycle last night? Maybe if he tried this year he would have had a good season.
Offensive Analysis: The offense struggled last night. They only got 4 runs on 6 hits. Melky had an RBI single (Yeah, Leche!), Juan Miranda hit a monster 2-run homer, the 1st of his career, and Ramiro Pena had an RBI single.
I got very mad in the 1st inning. With 2 out and nobody on base, Mark Teixeira came up to the plate. On the first pitch, David Price threw a high hard one that hit Tex in the hand, and he went down. I was terrified. I thought it hit him in the face. It came so close to hitting him there. It hit like off the top of his hand by his jaw, and it bounced away awkwardly as if it hit his face. I was filled with anger. How could they do that to Tex? Why? It was "retaliation" for what happened to Carlos Pena at Yankee Stadium. I think CC was pitching that day. Anyway, Pena tried to check his swing, and the ball happened to hit his hand. Pena's season was over, but it was not intentional at all. Why would the Yankees want to hit Carlos Pena? The Rays were out of it, and the Yankees wouldn't want to start random trouble with a respectable man like Pena. Who the f— do the Rays think they are by hitting Tex, such a nice man? That was not good baseball, that was not brushing him off the plate, that was a horrible thing to do. And the Yankees couldn't retaliate because they can't afford a suspension or a fight now. It was just the cruelest thing to do. Thank God Tex is okay. I don't think Girardi is going to let this slide. If he doesn't do it this weekend, Joe will definitely retaliate next year. I hope he does. Teach those Rays a lesson. I want to see that happen.
It was a very upseting game. CC didn't get his win and he pitched badly, and that whole little scare with Tex happened. But I did get to see my Cervelli ♥. And the game didn't mean much because we clinched, unlike the stinky Rays who I now hate. Ha, ha! We are in the postseason and you Rays are not! Maybe if your team actually tried they would make it, but then again the Yankees are so much better so you wouldn't. It's kind of weird hating the Rays. I always had respect for them. But now, now there is a rivalry. GO YANKEES!

The Trend Continues!
The long awaited "busy season" is finally hitting the candle making industry and one wax that continues to gain in popularity is the palm wax. More and more candle makers are adding natural waxes to compliment their existing line of paraffin candles. The aesthetic beauty of this amazing wax offers an exciting twist to the pastel colors achieved from many natural waxes. A fine crystalline structure adorns the finished palm candle and continues to prove itself to both the professional candle maker and the hobbyist. Over the last few decades we have introduced many developments to the candle world, but none have impacted the industry as the explosion of natural waxes within the last 5 years. We have been receiving phone calls and emails requesting information about our palm wax, so we figured it is time to reach into our knowledge base and share some more information on the mystifying palm waxes.Read More

Cindy Michaels May Be The Next Announcer for the Padres in Calif.
I am so happy for my friend Cindy Michaels. Back in the day when Cindy was doing Cindy at the Cinema and Mom and I were doing Mom and a Movie we had the pleasure of seeing many a movie together and really getting to know this most remarkable woman.
Such a talent. An accomplished artist, after leaving her TV gig she took on many other projects, marketing and personality for a Waterville radio station and promoting shark tours in California which eventually lead to her moving to there to be closer to her son. I was sad for myself and happy for her at the same time. Now though, I am just so tickled for her.
A really hard worker, personality I was not surprised she has made the final cut. Now, I hope for their sake the Padres have the good sense to bring it home and hire Cindy. I can't wait to see this chapter of her new life begin.

The Denver Broncos would like to do some business with defensive end Elvis Dumervil.
NFL.com's Albert Breer reported Wednesday that Denver is attempting to negotiate a pay cut with Dumervil, according to a team source. Breer says the problem isn't his cap number, even if it's the team's second highest, at $13.623 million. The Broncos, rather, would like Dumervil to take a reduction in his $12 million salary.
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports that the Broncos have yet to approach Dumervil about a pay cut, according to a source who has spoken with the player. It's likely that Dumervil would resist a pay cut, though he is open to restructuring. Dumervil currently is out of town on vacation.
The Broncos' plans first were reported by Vic Lombardi of KCNC-TV.
The club has the requisite space under the $123 million salary cap to deal with Dumervil's cap hit this season. The cap numbers increasingly are workable over the two remaining years on his deal -- $11.623 million next year and $9.816 million in 2015.
The issue here comes down to production vs. salary. Dumervil finished with 11 sacks and six forced fumbles last season, but his failures against the run and struggles with penalties appear to have given the Broncos second thoughts on the six-year, $61.5 million contract the sides agreed to in the summer of 2010.
If Dumervil, 29, ended up on the open market, he'd be sure to draw considerable interest.

National Central Library of Taiwan to collaborate with UW Libraries' East Asia Library to digitize rare Chinese classic books
Contact: Zhijia Shen
Head, East Asia Library
(206) 543-5635
Media Contact: A.C. Petersen
Libraries Communications Officer
(206) 543-9389
More Information
NCL Chinese rare book bibliographic database
Image of bookplate from Joseph Rock collection
University of Washington Libraries' East Asia Library (EAL) and National Central Library of Taiwan (NCL) announce a project to digitize Chinese rare books held at the East Asia Library and Special Collections at University Washington Libraries, slated to commence in Summer 2010.
The EAL rare book collection includes approximately 600 titles of Chinese rare books, including
- the rare books of Ming Dynasty (1368-1644)
- editions o the Joseph F. Rock collection including many rare local gazetteers of South West China
- the Qian Qianyi (a late Ming Dynasty poet- historian, 1582-1664) collection
- the Hellmut Wilhelm collection (books from Professor Wilhelm, a former UW faculty member and renowned sinologist)
NCL will contribute approximately $91,000 USD, 2-3 staff members, as well as the digitizing equipment. With a target of 80,000 digital images and associated descriptions by December 2012, priority will be given to scanning the titles that are not duplicated by NCL collection, then to scanning duplicate titles but different editions, and finally, scanning missing volumes or missing pages of each partner Library's collections. The digitization work will take place in the East Asia Library, with the EAL staff working with staff from NCL. In addition, NCL will provide the metadata cataloging for the digitized materials.
Once digitized, the collection will be part of the NCL Chinese rare book bibliographic database <http://ccs.ncl.edu.tw/rbookhtml/rbookhtml/org.htm>
Only four US institutions, the Library of Congress, Princeton, UC Berkeley, and the University of Chicago – in addition to more than 30 libraries and institutions in the world – are part of this database.
The idea for the partnership began with an informal conversation during the visit to NCL by Dean of University Libraries, Lizabeth (Betsy) Wilson and EAL Director Zhijia Shen in December 2008. A proposal was presented to NCL at a meeting on May 26, 2009 by the China Studies Librarian at EAL, Michael Meng, when he was in Taiwan for a summer training program. After further exchange of ideas and negotiations between the East Asia Library and the NCL, NCL Director General Mr. Min Ku visited the UW and met with Dean Betsy Wilson and Director Zhijia Shen on Nov. 30, 2009. On January 5, 2010 an agreement was signed.
International digital collaboration is the goal of the National Central Library of Taiwan (NCL). By preserving the valuable rare book collections at the EAL, these rare materials will be available online to the UW academic community, faculty and students in Sinological studies, and to scholars all over the world.
In the 19th and 20th century, China suffered through many wars and political upheavals. Many of China's cultural relics and books dissipated outside of China, so many historical documents and rare books exist only in libraries in Europe, Japan, the United States and other countries. With development of information technology in the past two decades, there have been international efforts and collaborations to make these materials accessible to all scholars.
EAL is one of the oldest East Asia libraries in North America. Its collections can be traced back 100 years when the UW began teaching about Asia. In the early years, without a library, faculty's private collections were often on loan to the department for faculty and students. In 1937, the library received its first official book budget from a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. Over time, the private collections that belonged to faculty members eventually all made their way into the library becoming the core of the collection of the EAL.
The University of Washington Libraries is a network of more than 17 units serving three campuses: Seattle, Bothell and Tacoma. Major facilities include Suzzallo and Allen Libraries, Odegaard Undergraduate Library and the Health Sciences Library, as well as subject-oriented libraries.

Put on your shades and prepare to step into the boots of Duke Nukem, whose legend has reached epic proportions in the years since his last adventure. The alien hordes are invading and only Duke can save the world. Pig cops, alien shrink rays and enormous alien bosses can't stop our hero from accomplishing his goal: to save the world, save the babes and to be a bad-ass while doing it.
The King arrives with an arsenal of over-the-top weapons, non-stop action, and unprecedented levels of interactivity. This game puts the pedal to the metal and tongue firmly in cheek. Shoot hoops, lift weights, read adult magazines, draw crude messages on whiteboards or ogle the many hot women that occupy Duke's life - that is if you can pull yourself away from destroying alien invaders. With hours and hours of over-the-top single player action, and a range of bodacious multiplayer modes, rest assured knowing the fun will last. Duke Nukem was and will forever be a gaming icon, and this is his legend.
Did the Alien bastards not learn their lesson the first time? Duke has been on hiatus for some time now, kicking back and franchising himself on the fame he gained from saving Earth from the first invasion. The Aliens have returned to Earth yet again, messing up Duke's sweet routine of dirty leisure habits.
The Alien invaders are stealing Earth's women, especially the hot ones! And they drank Duke's beer. This. Won't. Stand. As Duke battles his way through waves of aliens, the once beautiful gambling haven and Duke Nukem franchise chains are crumbling before his eyes. Time to bring the pain!


text: Hey all, I am down in South Carolina,visiting my sister who is being hospitalized. She is at the Piedmont Hospital in Rockhill SC about 30 miles from where she lives in Lancaster SC. Have been spending most of my time with her in the hospital but managed to get out for a little caching today. Went 2 for 5, my worst since I started caching. The caches are pretty spread apart in the area that I am in and from the caches that I did find,well they were nothing spectacular,unlike the caches in Maine.The weather has been pretty cool the last couple of days, in the 60's...lol Cool to the southerners anyway,but I'm loving it. If you care to check out the caches where I am at the zip is 29720. I met another guy on my way out from a cache and he was caching too so we teamed up for 3 more and came up empty on all 3. He was from Charlotte NC and he said that the caches in the Charlotte area were a lot better than the ones around here, oh well. Anyway can't wait to get back to Maine caching, IMHO you can't beat the Maine caches. See ya'll soon Haffy6 happy caching Saw my first gecko today

Virtually all independent financial experts are demanding that the too big to fail banks be broken up, including:
- Nobel prize-winning economist, Joseph Stiglitz
- Nobel prize-winning economist, Ed Prescott
- Former Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich
- Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President George W. Bush, and Dean and professor of finance and economics at Columbia Business School, R. Glenn Hubbard
- Former IMF chief economist, and MIT professor, Simon Johnson
- Deputy Treasury Secretary, Neal S. Wolin
- The Congressional panel overseeing the bailout (and see this)
- The leading monetary economist and co-author with Milton Friedman of the leading treatise on the Great Depression, Anna Schwartz
- Economics professor and senior regulator during the S & L crisis, William K. Black
- Economics professor, Nouriel Roubini
- Economist, Marc Faber
- Professor of entrepreneurship and finance at the Chicago Booth School of Business, Luigi Zingales
- Economics professor, Thomas F. Cooley
- Economist Dean Baker
- Economist Arnold Kling
In addition, many bank regulators say that we need to break up the too big to fails, including:
- Former chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan
- Former chairman of the Federal Reserve, Paul Volcker
- President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Thomas Hoenig (and see this)
- President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, Richard Fisher (and see this)
- President of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, Thomas Bullard
- The head of the FDIC, Sheila Bair
- The head of the Bank of England, Mervyn King
(And 5 former Secretaries of the Treasury agree with Volcker.)
Even the Bank of International Settlements – the "Central Banks' Central Bank" – has slammed too big to fail. As summarized by the Financial Times:
The report was particularly scathing in its assessment of governments' attempts to clean up their banks. "The reluctance of officials to quickly clean up the banks, many of which are now owned in large part by governments, may well delay recovery," it said, adding that government interventions had ingrained the belief that some banks were too big or too interconnected to fail.
This was dangerous because it reinforced the risks of moral hazard which might lead to an even bigger financial crisis in future.
And many bankers are for breaking up the giants as well.
For example, the President of the Independent Community Bankers of America, a Washington-based trade group with about 5,000 members, is calling for the break up of the TBTFs.
As is former investment banker, Philip Augar.
But as a great new blog shows, even bankers within the mega-banks are themselves calling for them to be broken up.
On April 2nd, The Fourteenth Banker – a blog run by bankers within the big banks for bankers within the big banks – called for a campaign by bankers to demand that the mega-banks be broken up:
If you work for a big bank, … what would happen if the bank is broken up? Well, that would be very complicated financially, but the result is probably not that hard to predict. Most obviously, deposits would need to stay in the core bank. What would this mean for the way the core bank works to succeed, the non core products it distributes, and the way its deposits fund investments compared to the way things are now? I suspect less net deposits taken out of the community and more loans made in the community.
The different businesses would be spun off to shareholders or sold. Watch the ball here. The Investment Bank is going to want and need a disproportionate share of the capital if they want to maintain their lifestyles. Absent the cloak of respectability the bank provides, they are going to want to be the next Goldman. Watch the ball. Capital is critical. In fact, as a sort of mind game, I wonder how much capital regulators or the SEC or Moody's would require? What would that leave for the bank?
What would the core banks funding cost be if it did not have to worry about the high leverage, senior unsecured bonds and the CDS spreads needed to support those? Maybe the core bank could both make more money and provide better deposit rates to savers. I don't know. Where is the Congress on this? Why not look at the upside instead of just the fear of systemic risk, important as that is?
Studies consistently cite that the efficiencies (economies) of scale end and $100B or so. If that is the case, does that not make the multi million dollar men at the top of the pyramid the actual problem? Money is diverted from the branch to the Executive ranks, Private Wealth, and the Investment Bank. It is reverse Robin Hood.
So what do the majority of bankers have to fear from a break up? Nothing. It would bring management closer to the customer and the employee, create a better customer experience, more equitable pay, better teamwork, and a return to values oriented banking.
Given this common sense, all branch based folks at the thousand and thousands of branches should write their congressmen and women and Senators and ask for the passage of strong TBTF legislation that would restore dignity to their profession. Let Private Wealth and the I-Bank float on their own. If you are a shareholder in your 401K or otherwise, you will still get a piece of that action. The value of the parts is generally greater than the value of the whole anyway. It is a win-win-win except in the Executive wing and on Wall Street, which is out of touch with Main Street anyway.
Maybe we should organize a million banker March in DC for financial reform. Too bold?
No, not too bold … much needed.

Meet Joel, a 58-year-old farmer in Timau, Kenya.
He's decided to use the money from his sponsorship through CFCA in a new way ñ to install a water pump for his farm.
"I have always loved farming, but it was hectic for me to fetch water from the river each day to water my plants," he said. "That's when I decided to save up my sponsorship funds and buy a watering pump that would help me in my farming."

During the 2007 recruit academy, a digital camera is being used to document the training that is teaching our next generation of firefighters.
The training that was captured on film includes:
- Ladders/Search and Rescue
Ladders/Search and Rescue
The purpose of ladder training is to get all the firefighters familiar how to safely and quickly raise ladders to assist fighting fires and rescuing people. This includes knowing what ladder to use. Where to place the ladder, and how to safely get victims down the ladder.
The purpose of search and rescue training just like it sounds -- crawling through the building looking for people who need rescuing. There are specific ways that firefighters do searches to make sure all the rooms are searched, that the victims are found, and the firefighters remain safe during the search.
Search and Rescue training is one of the most important lessons these firefighters will learn during the academy. It is the search and rescue training and practice that will help to save peoples' lives.

Either you have way too much food for the dispensers to dish out in a day and end up with overflow in 2 days tops, or you have so many slimes in a corral to eat all the excess food, that not all of them can even get to it. maybe if i took out the music boxes and slime toys? but then what's the point of having all these features if i can't use them? at this point i need more plots on my ranch not because i've run out of space for the slimes i have, but because i need so many more slimes just to eat all the food i have. i really hope the crashes people have been getting have been sorted out this time so some serious balancing can get worked on.
Randomtangle wrote:NO!!! Don't take out the slime toys! My "Hall Of Toys" would be ruined!
PrismSlime wrote:Ok so I thought it over a bit more today and, while I still think very much that the new upgrades need some serious balancing done, I've come up with 2 possible ways to handle all the excess food. I can either get rid of all of my silos and the plots in my retreat that I had intended for coops to get some extra food for my free-range hunters and have 2 of every slime type covered in largos with 1 field of crops being split across 2 corrals each; which would likely mess up my whole easy-pathing system and potentially even need more teleport pads that we aren't guaranteed to get- as well as pretty much all my warp depots in areas that I really don't have the spare build spots to place; OR- have a warp depot at each field of crops to send half of each harvest to my loads of pinks that will be in the retreat that will be able to eat all the excess food, have plenty of space for the warp depots, allow me to keep my silos full of 100 of each non-slime science resource, and not be dependent on any unconfirmed teleport pads. Though either one will be very difficult until the drones in 1.2 come out, I think I can still make it work...

Open source integration company FuseSource has built a new online subscription center targeted at enterprise software developers and architects. The portal itself is populated with access to tools, review documentation, options to download source code for FuseSource solutions, and forums to interact with fellow developers and enroll in training.
FuseSource claims to employ more active committers and founders of Apache Software Foundation integration and messaging projects than any other company. The firm's raison d'être is to "enable systems and applications to work together" effectively. Subscriptions to the company's distributions aim to provide service-level agreements and support for an entire project lifecycle.
New services include the option to request an architectural review or technical support with downloads of hot fixes and service packs. There are also links that enable subscribers to obtain tooling such as the Fuse IDE — a graphical, Eclipse-based application for drag-and-drop mediation components and trouble shooting — and Fuse HQ, an SOA management and monitoring system.
Subscribers can also access the policies and procedures for making the most of FuseSource's integration and messaging expertise and influence, including a process for requesting product enhancements or assistance with bugs.
"As the modern enterprise evolves, software developers and architects are under immense pressure to do more with existing IT infrastructure," said Rob Davies, CTO of FuseSource. and cofounder of Apache Software Foundation projects ServiceMix, ActiveMQ, and Camel.

Team Returns to Franklin Park for Second Time this Season
NEW HAVEN, Conn.—Coming off a well-rounded seventh-place finish at the ultra-competitive Paul Short Invitational last weekend, the Yale men's cross country team heads to Boston this weekend to race against some of the top talent the northeast region has to offer. The New England Championships, held at Boston's Franklin Park, will pit Yale against approximately 40 other schools, including many of their regional rivals. Last year's race attracted the likes of Boston College, Bowdoin, Dartmouth, Northeastern, Tufts, Quinnipiac and Williams, and the field figures to look similar this year.
After finishing 16th and 17th, respectively, at the meet in 2010 and 2011, the Bulldogs surged to a third-place finish in 2012, finishing only behind Boston College and Dartmouth. While providing an opportunity for the Elis to match or improve on last year's dominant performance, this year's race will also give the team a chance to display the depth of its roster, as several runners slated to compete at Pre-Nationals in Terre Haute, Ind., next weekend will use this weekend for some well-earned rest.
"This meet is one that will showcase our depth and give these guys a chance to shine," said Head Men's Coach Paul Harkins. "I'm excited to see these guys rise to the challenge and lead us to a high finish at New Englands."
All in all, the Elis plan to send nine runners to this weekend's race—seven of whom will compete in the varsity race and two of whom will run the sub-varsity race.
A pair of seniors—Michael Cunetta and team captain Ryan Laemel—will lead the way for the Bulldogs. Cunetta finished seventh on the team at the Harvard-Yale season opener (also held at Franklin Park) and sixth on the team at last year's New England Championships, where he set his 8K personal record (25:19.63). Laemel, meanwhile, has finished just outside the team's top seven in all three races this season. Junior Tom Harrison will be another runner to watch, after finishing seventh on the team earlier this season at the Iona Meet of Champions, where the Bulldogs placed second overall.
Three freshmen are also scheduled to compete in Boston: Ryan Douglas, Dan Grosvenor and David Hatch. Douglas and Grosvenor have both competed in all three races so far this season, and both secured their best times at Franklin Park against Harvard (26:24 and 25:54, respectively). Hatch, competing in the sub-varsity race, will be competing for the second time this season.
Juniors Alec Borsook and Miles Richardson will round out Yale's varsity field, while sophomore Will Botta is slated to compete alongside Hatch in the sub-varsity race. All three competed in the unscored open race at Paul Short last weekend. Borsook has actually competed in every meet of the season thus far, his best time (27:11) coming against Harvard at Franklin Park.
After falling to the Crimson at Franklin Park in the season opener, Harkins is especially energized and excited to return to Boston this time around.
"Having already run at Franklin Park once this year, we will have the opportunity to see how much progress the group has made," he said.
This weekend's men's sub-varsity race will begin at 11:45 a.m., and the varsity race will follow at 1:15 p.m. A map of this weekend's course is available here. Results will be available at www.yalebulldogs.com upon conclusion of the meet.

Red scorpionfish
This is considered one of the ugliest fish in the world, but behind this appearance is hidden a fine and exquisite flesh. Its recognition in this country's cuisine is recent.
The unpleasant appearance of this fish prevented its culinary recognition until not long ago. Its recognition in this country's cuisine is due to the recipe for red scorpionfish cake, made by Arzak, who innovated by using this fish for something other than preparing soup. It is a fish whose average size ranges between 35 and 40cm and its weight between 1.5 and 2kg, with a compact body whose outstanding features are its big head and spines. The colour is another of its most characteristic aspects: it is between reddish and yellowish brown, with reddish jasper marks. The red scorpionfish is a white fish and its flesh is fine and tasty on the palate. It can be found on the market either fresh or frozen.

PRACTICE AREAS | Civil Rights Law - Excessive Force Attorney
Trust a Seattle Excessive Force Attorney Committed to Ending Police Misconduct
Excessive force, Introduction
When police officers overstep their bounds and use excessive force, they can be held accountable for the harm they cause. If you or someone you care about has suffered a serious personal injury because of excessive force from a police officer , you have the right to take action. You have the right to contact a Seattle Excessive Force Attorney.
Kallislaw - Protecting Civil Rights, P.C. helps when an excessive force attorney is needed in any excess force case including police shooting cases, in which someone is seriously injured or killed because of an officer's use of deadly force. If you have lost a loved one because of a wrongful death caused by police, you can see that the police are held accountable. Police officers use force all the time and, in many cases, it is justifiable. In order for action to be taken against the police for excessive force, it must be clear that what they did was unreasonable or unnecessary. For example, cases involving police use of batons or stun guns on someone who is arguing about a speeding ticket could be considered excessive force.
Kallislaw - Protecting Civil Rights, P.C. in Seattle, WA, takes these cases to court in order to get compensation and justice for you. We build cases strong enough to go in front of a jury. An important part of the process is making certain that all evidence is found and protected as early as possible. This includes medical documentation and photos of the injuries suffered, as well as witness statements. By building cases on facts, we build cases to succeed.
Contact Us for a Free Initial Consultation
We handle most excessive force cases on a contingency fee basis, ensuring that for those cases we take we believe in you and your case. We are an Excessive Force Law Firm located in Bainbridge and Seattle, WA. Please give us a call at 888-441-1529 - Seattle, WA or contact us online today.

Nate Berg
Nate Berg is a freelance reporter and a former staff writer for CityLab. He lives in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles' food deserts may soon be finding new oases. A new city ordinance will allow small farmers' markets to operate in residential areas, enabling backyard growers and small-time farmers to sell their crops in their own neighborhoods.
In parts of town like South L.A., where fresh food access is low, the new rule could offer residents a raft of new options. "It's going to open up the playing field, literally and figuratively," says Tara Kolla, the owner of Silver Lake Farms, a small-scale farming operation that grows cut flowers and micro-greens.
Kolla had been operating out of her backyard for a number of years. She was shut down in 2009, because it was illegal for backyard gardeners to sell their crops. Kolla has since uprooted and started a new operation in another site, but the disruption cut deeply into her business. "That was years of work that went down the chute," Kolla says.
In 2010, the city changed the law, allowing backyard gardeners to sell crops like fruits, vegetables and flowers in many places, including local farmers' markets. This was a bittersweet success for Kolla, who had already switched up her own operation. And it was bittersweet for other small-scale farmers who might have considered selling their goods to a certified farmers' market if only their small crop size would have justified the expense of paying for a spot.
But with the city's new rule, these potential small-scale farmers can set up markets right in their own neighborhood.
Residents wanting to run these small markets will have to meet certain regulations to get city approval. Hours, parking, noise and other concerns were cited by some community members as reasons why residential farmers markets might not be such a great idea. But after more than a year in development, the idea was supported 12-0 by the Los Angeles City Council.
The new law will likely have the biggest impact in places where farmers' markets never existed, like South L.A. "It's hard for some market managers to get vendors out there," Kolla says. "This law will help those areas because the people who will be selling will, I think, be much more local."
And though a backyard farm or a front yard market might not seem to have a huge impact, Kolla says that with some creative thinking neighborhoods could create valuable new sources of local foods. "At first there won't be much in the way of volume, until someone gets the bright idea of sharing gardens and pooling yards," Kolla says.
These small markets aren't likely to make the food deserts of L.A. disappear. But they do offer one way for the city and others like it to find easy ways to encourage a better distribution of healthy food options.
