NEW YORK — The spread of monkeypox in the U.S. could represent the dawn of a new sexually transmitted disease, though some health officials say the virus that causes pimple-like bumps might yet be contained before it gets firmly established.
Experts don't agree on the likely path of the disease, with some fearing that it is becoming so widespread that it is on the verge of becoming an entrenched STD – like gonorrhea, herpes and HIV.
But no one's really sure, and some say testing and vaccines can still stop the outbreak from taking root.
So far, more than 2,400 U.S. cases have been reported as part of an international outbreak that emerged two months ago.
Health officials are not sure how fast the virus has spread. They have only limited information about people who have been diagnosed, and they don't know how many infected people might be spreading it unknowingly.
They also don't know how well vaccines and treatments are working. One impediment: Federal health officials do not have the authority to collect and connect data on who has been infected and who has been vaccinated.
With such huge question marks, predictions about how big the U.S. outbreak will get this summer vary widely, from 13,000 to perhaps more than 10 times that number.
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the government's response is growing stronger every day and vaccine supplies will soon surge.
"I think we still have an opportunity to contain this," Walensky told the Associated Press.
Monkeypox is endemic in parts of Africa, where people have been infected through bites from rodents or small animals. It does not usually spread easily among people.
But this year more than 15,000 cases have been reported in countries that historically don't see the disease. In the U.S. and Europe, the vast majority of infections have happened in men who have sex with men, though health officials have stressed that anyone can catch the virus.
It spreads mainly through skin-to-skin contact, but it can also be transmitted through linens used by someone with monkeypox. Although it's been moving through the population like a sexually transmitted disease, officials have been watching for other types of spread that could expand the outbreak.
Symptoms include fever, body aches, chills, fatigue and the bumps on parts of the body. The illness has been relatively mild in many men, and no one has died in the U.S. But people can be contagious for weeks, and the lesions can be extremely painful.
When monkeypox emerged, there was reason to believe that public health officials could control it.
The tell-tale bumps should have made infections easy to identify. And because the virus spreads through close personal contact, officials thought they could reliably trace its spread by interviewing infected people and asking who they had been intimate with.
It didn't turn out to be that easy.
With monkeypox so rare in the U.S., many infected men – and their doctors – may have attributed their rashes to some other cause.
Contact tracing was often stymied by infected men who said they did not know the names of all the people they had sex with. Some reported having multiple sexual interactions with strangers.
It didn't help that local health departments, already burdened with COVID-19 and scores of other diseases, now had to find the resources to do intensive contact-tracing work on monkeypox, too.
Indeed, some local health officials have given up expecting much from contact tracing.
There was another reason to be optimistic: The U.S. government already had a vaccine. The two-dose regimen called Jynneos was licensed in the U.S. in 2019 and recommended last year as a tool against monkeypox.
When the outbreak was first identified in May, U.S. officials had only about 2,000 doses available. The government distributed them but limited the shots to people who were identified through public health investigations as being recently exposed to the virus.
Late last month, as more doses became available, the CDC began recommending that shots be offered to those who realize on their own that they could have been infected.
Demand has exceeded supply, with clinics in some cities rapidly running out of vaccine doses and health officials across the country saying said they don't have enough.
That's changing, Walensky said. As of this week, the government has distributed more than 191,000 doses, and it has 160,000 more ready to send. As many as 780,000 doses will become available as early as next week.
Once current demand is satisfied, the government will look at expanding vaccination efforts.
The CDC believes that 1.5 million U.S. men are considered at high risk for the infection.
Testing has also expanded. More than 70,000 people can be tested each week, far more than current demand, Walensky said. The government has also embarked on a campaign to educate doctors and gay and bisexual men about the disease, she added.
Donal Bisanzio, a researcher at RTI International, believes U.S. health officials will be able to contain the outbreak before it becomes endemic.
But he also said that won't be the end of it. New bursts of cases will probably emerge as Americans become infected by people in other countries where monkeypox keeps circulating.
Walensky agrees that such a scenario is likely. "If it's not contained all over the world, we are always at risk of having flare-ups" from travelers, she said.
Shawn Kiernan, of the Fairfax County Health Department in Virginia, said there is reason to be tentatively optimistic because so far the outbreak is concentrated in one group of people – men who have sex with men.
Spread of the virus into heterosexual people would be a "tipping point" that may occur before it's widely recognized, said Kiernan, chief of the department's communicable disease section.
Spillover into heterosexuals is just a matter of time, said Dr. Edward Hook III, emeritus professor of infectious diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
If monkeypox becomes an endemic sexually transmitted disease, it will be yet another challenge for health departments and doctors already struggling to keep up with existing STDs.
Such work has long been underfunded and understaffed, and a lot of it was simply put on hold during the pandemic. Kiernan said HIV and syphilis were prioritized, but work on common infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea amounted to "counting cases and that's about it."
For years, gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis cases have been rising.
"By and large," Hook said, doctors "do a crummy job of taking sexual histories, of inquiring about and acknowledging their patients are sexual beings."

Going to the dentist might have just gotten a little less scary for the estimated 1 in 68 U.S. children with autism spectrum disorder as well as children with dental anxiety, thanks to new research from USC.
In an article published on May 1 by the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, researchers from USC and Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) examined the feasibility of adapting dental environments to be more calming for children with autism spectrum disorder.
"The regular dental environment can be quite frightening for children with autism who, not knowing how to react, tend to be completely averse to whatever we're trying to do," said one of the study's authors, José Polido DDS, head of dentistry at CHLA and assistant professor at the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC.
Children with autism spectrum disorders -- as well as some typically developing children -- often show heightened responses to sensory input and find these sensations uncomfortable. As such, the dental office, with its bright lights, loud sounds from the dental equipment, and touch of children in and around the mouth, present particular challenges for such children.
In the study, 44 CHLA patients -- 22 with autism and 22 "typically developing" (defined as children not on the autism spectrum)--underwent two professional dental cleanings. One cleaning took place in a regular dental environment, the other in a sensory adapted dental environment. During each session, the child's physiological anxiety, behavioral distress and pain intensity were measured.
"I've talked to several parents who have said, 'We really put off taking our child to the dentist because we know how hard it is and we know he's going to scream and cry,'" said Sharon Cermak, the study's lead author and professor at the USC Mrs. T.H. Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy, as well as professor of pediatrics at the Keck School of Medicine of USC.
To help combat that reaction, researchers adapted the dental environments by turning off overhead office lights and headlamps, projecting slow-moving visual effects onto the ceiling and playing soothing music.
Instead of using traditional means to secure the child in the dental chair, practitioners used a seat cover that looked like a gigantic butterfly whose wings wrapped around the child and provided a comforting, deep-pressure hug.
The research team found that both children who are typically developing as well as those with autism spectrum disorders exhibited decreased psychological anxiety and reported lower pain and sensory discomfort in the sensory-adapted dental environment.
The study -- which represents a unique collaboration between pediatric dentists and occupational therapists--could help improve oral health care for children with autism -- a group reported to suffer from poor oral health, research shows.
The findings could also represent a cost savings to the health care system, with fewer insurance reimbursements paid to dental offices for the additional staff members and general anesthesia often necessary for children with autism.
Next up for the researchers is to increase their sample size -- they'll be using 110 children in each group -- to determine which factors (e.g. age, anxiety, sensory over-responsitivity) best predict which children respond best to the intervention.
"One of our long-term goals with this study is to help dentists develop protocols for their own dental clinics to see how sensory components are contributing to behavioral issues," Cermak said. "I think these protocols can then be translated across the globe."

The XFree86-Touch-Screen-HOWTO describes how to setup X11 for touchscreens. There is also a short survey of Linux laptops, which feature a touchscreen and/or have a pen as an input device and a survey about Linux on Tablet PCs.
Some XFree86 drivers support a rotation of the display content. Use this entry in the configuration file (DEGREE can become CW - 90 degree clockwise , CCW - 90 degree counterclockwise , UD - 180 degree upside down, but which options actually work depends on the drivers:
Option "Rotate" "DEGREE"
From version 4.3 on XFree86 contains the RandR extension (X resize and Rotate Extension), which makes it possible to change the display resolution on the fly without restarting X11. The tool xrandr supports only resolution settings but no rotation. But the Tiny-X server by RandR developer Keith Packard (Xkdrive) implements all of the RandR features. But this is usually not included in the major distributions. Currently X.Org doesn't seem to support rotate and resize.
There are some rotation utilities for Linux PDAs available, but I haven't tested them for Tablet PCs yet. Search the Zaurus Software Index - ZSI.

Tomorrow, the U.N. climate conference, known as COP 27, will kick off in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. It's a follow-up to last year's gathering, where countries set targets for cutting greenhouse emissions in an effort to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Despite those targets, a recent U.N. report showed the world's nations are far from reaching their goals. Joining me now to talk about the conference and what we can expect is Janine Felson. She's an ambassador and climate negotiator from Belize who negotiates on behalf of small island nations. Ambassador Felson, welcome back to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.
JANINE FELSON: Thank you very much. It's a pleasure to be with you.
FLORIDO: The climate conference starts tomorrow. What are one or two of your main priorities heading into these talks?
FELSON: It's very important that we move from just plain promises and commitments that we've heard in Glasgow to actual results. I think this will be a big issue coming out of Sharm el-Sheikh, whether we can see results given the fact that we are in a very complicated, complex political environment with many issues cropping up with diversion of attention on the multilateral agenda to matters that veer away from climate. Whether or not we can see results from Sharm el-Sheikh is the big question for us. But we're certainly looking at priorities around finance, around raising ambition and finally addressing issues on loss and damage.
FLORIDO: Can you say a little bit more about what loss and damage is?
FELSON: Loss and damage is one of these terms that we use in the context of the climate change process that basically refers to what we in small island developing states refer to as permanent and irreversible losses - so cultural, territorial and even health-related losses. But what we're seeing really with the impact from climate change is the fact that islands are being submerged, cultures are going to be decimated with the mere movement of people from places where their national heritage is connected to. And these are issues that have not yet been addressed by climate change regime.
FLORIDO: One huge difference from last year's climate conference is the war in Ukraine. It's led to a big spike in energy prices that's led some countries to consider tapping new sources of fossil fuels. How is this new reality affecting negotiations this year?
FELSON: It's a very important issue because we've listened to many claims of ambitious action being taken, and yet we now see a regression and a call on fossils as a new type of bridge in fuel. And I think there have been quite a number of reports out already that have stated that if you turn to gas, if you revive coal, you continue to put money into other fossil fuels, this is not going to be a bridge to a future that sees limits on 1.5. What you could see are stranded assets or just further locking in a global warming that will exceed 1.5 and create absolute chaos for the world.
FLORIDO: You know, I'm seeing a lot of pessimism among experts in the press about how much this conference can actually achieve this year, given high inflation, the war in Ukraine. You represent small island nations, which aren't the most powerful nations at these conferences. How do you hold bigger nations accountable and apply the pressure for them to set the kind of targets you want to see?
FELSON: I think it's fair to say that this is a very difficult context to take major political decisions. And I think it's also important to recognize that this conference will be taking decisions on processes that are aimed to address the concerns of how exactly do we support countries make those breakthroughs on - in sectors like energy or transportation? How exactly do we support countries tap into finances that could better support a resilience? So I think it will be a lot more process based rather than those big political commitments that we saw in Glasgow.
FLORIDO: How will you know if you've been successful this year?
FELSON: I think the test of success is where we land on the reaffirmation of the commitment to 1.5. I think there's a really important narrative that has to come out from COP 27, and that's where governments agree that we're not going to be stepping backwards from where we ended in Glasgow, but we will be going forward. For small island developing states, the litmus tests will be having the opportunity to put loss and damage finance on the agenda of the COP once and for all.
FLORIDO: I've been speaking with Janine Felson, a climate negotiator and ambassador from Belize. She joined us from Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, where she's attending the U.N. climate conference on behalf of the Alliance of Small Island States. Ambassador Felson, thanks for your time.
FELSON: Thank you, too. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

If you haven't seen "Pink Flamings," perhaps the ultimate cult movie, I sure as hell ain't gonna tell you about it. Let's just say that even tho I only saw it once - and this was back in the '80s, when the earths' crust was still cooling and dinosaurs walked the earth - a mere glance at the song titles of the soundtrack recall images that are permanently seared into my brain. So let's pay tribute to Mr. Featherstone with the suitably trashy soundtrack of '50s/60s rock, r'n'b, and easy-listening oldies that Waters used to underscore his characters foul (not to mention fowl) behavior. Some of these songs are as insane as any crazed early rock (e.g.: "Chicken Grabber," "Surfin Bird") while others, like the perfectly presentable "Happy Happy Birthday Baby," are used as ironically innocent counterpoints to the on-screen depravity.
Plus! At no extra cost to you! Other "Pink Flamingos"-related audio oddities thrown into the file:
- Edith Massesy's single, which featured her "singing" a cover of the Four Seasons' "Big Girls Don't Cry," and a lovely original, "Punks (Get Off The Grass)." Massey had moved to the Venice Beach neighborhood of Los Angeles, and her thrift store was a popular hangout for local punks and weirdos, who recorded this with her in 1982.
- Divine "You Think You're A Man" (7'' version); S/He recorded a surprising amount but I just have this one catchy bit of '80s disco.
- The Illuminoids "Satan Said Walrus Eggs," a mashup from 2007 that mixes Massey's "Pink Flamingo" dialogue with the Beatles, over a stomping beat from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. The Egg Lady meets the Egg Man, with special guest: Satan. One of the members of the Illuminoids was Howie Pyro, who took the name for his super-swell internet show "Intoxica" from one of the songs on this here soundtrack:

The only criteria people have for a salad is mixing together some tasty ingredients, but despite the flavor, there are also other things to consider. Some ingredients don't go together in a salad, such as a combination of tomatoes and cucumber. Each of these vegetables has different digestion time, and according to Ayurveda, we must know the exact digestion time of each food we eat before mixing ingredients together.
Combining ingredients that have a fast and slow digestion is not a good idea as the lighter ingredient will end up passing in the intestine just as the first one is completely digested. This will result in fermentation of the food in your stomach that may poison your whole body. It will lead to slow digestion and fermentation of sugars and starches, and won't allow you to enjoy your meal as you should. Besides this, the process of fermentation can also cause gasses, swelling and pain in the stomach as well as intestinal problems.
Cucumbers and tomatoes are not compatible with each other and should never be consumed together. When they reach the stomach and the process of fermentation starts, the acid released in the abdominal cavity for digestion can cause numerous digestive problems. Here are some other food combinations you should never try:
- Eating fruit after meals is not a good idea – fruits need a lot of time to be digested and should never stay long in the stomach. Eating them after a meal will result in "wine" in your stomach that can lead to acid reflux and other digestive problems.
- Mac and cheese is a popular meal in the USA, but one that should be avoided nonetheless. Macaroni are rich in starch, which has a different digestion time than protein, so the delay will lead to inevitable fermentation and further digestive problems. The same goes for macaroni and meat.
- Meat and cheese omelet is a favorite meal of millions, but you should avoid putting too much protein on the same dish. Choose only one type of protein per meal.
- You should never mix bread or noodles with orange juice as the acid content required to digest the juice can destroy the enzyme responsible for starch digestion.
- Vegetables and cheese is another no-no combination – eating it will only result in bloating.
- You should never eat melon and watermelon together, as these fruits are meant to be consumed alone, not in combination with any other fruit.
- Many people love eating bananas and milk, but this combination will significantly slow down your digestion.
- People usually add fruit to their bowl of yogurt for breakfast, but this combination will slow down your digestion and harm your intestinal flora. This especially goes for adding pineapple to your yogurt, which boosts the active ingredients that cause food poisoning.

Suzani tree of life designs represent three spheres: the roots spring from the underworld, the trunk rises through the terrestrial world, and the branches reach the heavens. These textiles are traditionally used as wall hangings or as a woman's marriage dowry, as the fruit designs are symbolic of fertility. The suzani's decorative embroidery is also thought to possess a protective element.

"You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice
you have."
It's a hot and
humid night. We're all looking forward to a beer and some nightlife as we take
the short walk from our hotel to the Coconut Club.
At this time of the year, the island is packed
with tourists from all over the world. This means lots of beautiful girls in
their tiny bikinis with a tan and a smile and everybody looking to have a good
Only ten days into our two week surfing vacation
with my friends, I've been having the time of my life. We've met some great
locals who have entrusted us with their secret surfing spots, which they keep
on the down-low. These are their
places to surf, not to be overrun by tourists.
The surf has been awesome. We've ridden
alongside the locals, our boards attached to our motorcycles as we follow them
through the hustle and bustle of the crazy traffic. I shit you not, it almost
appears like there are no road rules over here. It's like dodge ball with motorcycles.
It's been a hell of a lot of fun taking the bikes to the streets, weaving
through the ridiculous traffic, honking our horns—quite the adrenaline ride.
Once we make it out of the shit storm of
traffic and get on the quieter roads around the island, we're able to put the
pedal to the metal and enjoy the scenery.
Just don't fucking crash has
been our motto because the hospital service isn't that great over here. You
don't want to wind up in it.
Since Faith would've loved to see some of the
places we've been to and photograph them, Jase brought his camera and saved
some of these memories for her. I can't help thinking he has an interest in my
sister. But Jase is a great guy, so I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
The locals have showed us the clubs and bars to
check out. We know they receive commission for pointing us in the direction of
certain places, but these guys don't have the same opportunities we have been
given in life, so why not help a guy out?
The food has been awesome. Keanu only got the
shits for a few days—we did warn him about the water. We could smell him from
across the hallway, making me glad I wasn't sharing a room with Keanu. Levi got
the short straw for those few days.
We've sat on the beach at night while Keanu,
Levi, and Jase sang and strummed their guitars, entertaining a small crowd that
gathered each evening while the sun sets. It's a pretty awesome way to watch
the sun go down if you ask me. This has been such a great trip.
After four years of college, we all just
graduated and decided to take this trip as a gift to ourselves for summer
break. We've all got stuff we have applied for or are in the process of locking
down when we get home except for Jase, who is the youngest in the group and our
friend Harley's younger brother. He wanted to come along, so this is his
vacation before he starts college.
We weren't stupid; we all knew life was getting
more serious and we were entering the next phase. We have our futures ahead of
ourselves, yet who knew when we would be able to all get together and do this
again? My only regret is Harley couldn't make the trip.
He is moving ahead with his dream of owning a
business—his college years were more about a backup plan. The guy is so smart.
He plans way ahead. Out of all of us, he's got his shit together the most. He
landed himself a job that he couldn't pass up. The boy is thinking big and has always
been like that. He sees his future of owning a security business empire like a blueprint
in his mind. I know he will make it happen, as well. He's just that kind of
Fuck, I love all these guys. My friends mean
the world to me, and I would do anything for them.
they asked of me.
The guys are all completely different. Well,
maybe with the exception of Keanu and Levi. Those two are hilarious without
trying and have this bond which glues them together. They have such a bromance
going on that they will be friends for life. Nothing will get between them.
They are brothers from another mother, through and through. Although, we all
get along incredibly well.
Keanu and Levi have been spreading themselves
among the ladies, while Retro seems happy enough just surfing, eating, and
drinking. He's got a lady on his mind back home, so he's just letting his free
spirit enjoy the waves and soak up the atmosphere.
I've been keeping a subtle eye on Jase; he's
been throwing back a few beers. The chicks love his blonde hair and mismatched
blue and brown eyes. At eighteen, he isn't technically underage here, only back
home; as a result, he's enjoying it while it lasts. I promised Harley, his
brother, I would have his back and not let him get too out of control, and so
far, he's only thrown up like the exorcist one night. I think that helped cure
him of hitting it too hard for a few more days. The waves are more important
than getting totally wasted and not being able to surf anyways.
We enter the Coconut Club and make our way to a
high-top table with the stools. This place is starting to fill up. The DJ is
playing loud techno, and the club is pumping with bodies on the dance floor
moving in sync.
Retro offers to buy the first round and takes
off to the bar before it gets too busy and you wind up waiting to be served for
Levi and Keanu are already scouting the club
for hot chicks, talking in each other's ear, being each other's wingman. The
next second, they are both shouting, "Challenge. Accepted!" and bumping fists.
I roll my eyes. They do this every night once they have locked down their
female prey. The girls are here to party, looking for a good time, and these
two aim to please.
The tourists are all in party mode on the
island. Inhibitions are left at the door. After what I have seen, I don't think
I will be letting my future daughter ever come on a vacation for summer break
until she is at least thirty.
Hell. No.
Jase has already been spotted by a group of
girls who are all giggling and pointing at him. I can't help feeling proud of
him. He was somewhat of a geek at school and I suppose Harley and my boys
rubbed off on him. Now he's buff and enjoying the female attention. His blonde
hair and striking mismatched eyes make him stand out from the crowd.
We are all a pretty good looking bunch. We look
after ourselves, and we hit up a fair bit of extreme sports. It keeps us fit.
We aren't the indoorsy type. We study hard, but we play hard, too.
One day, all this carefree stuff will have to
be locked down, but at the moment, we are young and single and generally don't
do anything by halves.
It's all or nothing.
We've been here for a couple hours now. It's
been a great night of letting loose and jumping about on the dance floor.
"It's my buy," I have to shout over the music.
I head over to the bar, where the crowd is two people deep all along its
length, waiting to be served. This could take a while with only a couple bar
tenders serving.
My mind drifts to Faith, my kid sister by eight
years. I'm looking forward to seeing her when we get home. I've got a week
lined up to spend with her and the folks before heading back to San Diego.
Today, I bought her a brightly colored sarong, figuring chicks love that sort
of thing when they come here. Jase has it packed in his suitcase since I've
bought quite a bit of souvenirs for family, and my bag is at its weight limit.
I know how much she wanted to come on this
vacation with us and loves photography; as a result, I've taken a lot of
pictures on my phone to show her.
I bought her a Canon old-school camera when she
was nearly eleven, just before we left for college, so she could play about
with it. I hoped to keep her busy with a hobby while I was away because I hated
leaving her. She hung around with us more than her own friends. Regardless, I
loved having her around, and the guys didn't mind. I knew leaving her was going
to leave a hole in her life.
Four years later, she is now nearly fifteen. I
think she may have a career as a photographer. She takes awesome photos, and I
know she wants a dark room. Our mom and dad have bought her a digital camera
for her birthday in just over two months, while I've organized for some dark
room equipment—the perfect present for Faith. I can't wait to see her face when
we give it all to her. The best of both photography worlds for her to play
around with.
Jase clamps one hand on my shoulder and yells
in my ear, "Hey, Chance, thought you might like some company while you're
standing up here waiting. I'll help you bring the beers over. The wingmen are
working the beat, and Retro's gone to take a piss."
When I look over and see Levi and Keanu dancing
all over a couple of girls, I can't help laughing at them. They certainly love
"This crowd is sure thirsty." I smile at Jase.
I've been standing here awhile already. "The downfall of summer break
Jase is a nice guy. He's always thinking about
others. He's seen both sides of the school crowd, popular and unpopular. He was
bullied for being a geek at school, so he is sensitive to others and thinks of
their feelings. Once he started coming out of his shell and growing, his
features started to get noticed by the girls. Luckily, Harley was there to help
with his self-esteem. He used to take him out back at their home and get him to
pound the heavy bag. Afterward, they'd lift weights and go jogging together.
Jase is a much deeper guy than a lot of people
realize. We knew. The stupid assholes at his school, on the other hand, were
threatened by what they knew he could become. He had smarts, a personality to
match, and his looks were starting to shine through. Harley just helped nudge
it along with some brotherly advice and some older brother knowledge of what makes
a girl's head turn.
Jase knew what he was capable of and never got
a big head. It was like he was waiting for the right girl, someone with smarts
he could be attracted to. Jase was always studying or hanging with his geeky
friends. You could give him a makeover, but he always stayed true to his
friends. He saw people for who they were, not what they looked like. He looked
into people's souls, not just the pretty face. I think someone was counted very
lucky if they were friends with Jase.
Jase's voice invades my thoughts, "So, how's
Faith? Have you spoken to her lately?"
"I texted her earlier, letting her know how we
were all doing."
I decide to wind Jase up a bit. "I let your dad
know you've been making up for lost time with the beers." I'm trying to keep a
straight face.
"What the fuck, Chance? I told Dad I have been
behaving myself. Mom and Dad only let me come on this trip as long as I
I'm laughing out loud. Sometimes it's too easy
playing with Jase. The look on his face, priceless. "I'm only joking. I haven't
ratted you out. Harley was a lot wilder than you, anyway. Trust me, you're a
saint compared to what he was getting up to at your age."
I finally get served, and we haul the beers
back to our table where Keanu, Levi, and Retro are waiting. We do a salute with
our beers before taking a drink.
It's now around eleven-thirty, and the crowd is
thinning out a little. We're all feeling pretty relaxed. We have a crack of
dawn surf we want to get in, and we need to drive an hour to get to the spot,
so we are keeping ourselves on the right side of sober.
Keanu and Levi have wandered off somewhere and
Retro's gone for another piss while Jase and I are chilling and talking when, suddenly,
there is a bit of commotion in the club. A young Asian guy with a backpack has
climbed up onto a table, screaming like a wild man. I can't understand what
he's saying; he's not speaking English.
Jase is standing beside me, shouting in my ear,
"What the fuck is that guy's problem?"
I've got no idea. He's still screaming wildly,
his face is dripping with sweat, and he keeps wiping his face on his sleeve.
He's angry and agitated with fear in his eyes, and he's gulping down air.
The young guy, who doesn't look much older than
us, pulls something out of his pocket, holding it above his head, waving it
about. I wish I knew what he was yelling about.
Sensing something isn't right with this guy,
the bar's crowd begins trying to move away, making their way towards the
Seconds have ticked by.
I grab Jase and move him away from the inevitable
crush while I search the crowd for Levi, Retro, and Keanu.
I shout over the music, "Fuck! I can't see
where the others are." I need to know where they are. Right. Now.
It's only been about twenty seconds since the
guy made himself known. I've moved us to the other side of the bar, as far away
as we can shuffle through the crowd from the crazy guy.
The front entrance is getting a line up as
people shove at others. In the few seconds we've grabbed, I keep my eyes on him
as we move. The kid is positively shaking. Then, his thumb raises and starts to
press down on the device in his hand.
I duck, grabbing a girl near me around the
waist and shoving both her and Jase behind a table and some chairs. I try to
cover them as much as I can, pushing their heads down.
There is a loud explosion that rocks our ear
I look up from our crouched position over the
table top. Blood has rained down on us. It's everywhere. Bits of what I can
only describe as flesh have landed on the table we are hiding behind. There is
a horrid, burnt smell in the air. People are crying out. The girl with us has
gotten up and blended into the crowd. Everyone is moving like a herd of scared
cattle towards the club entrance.
"Fuck. The guy blew himself up. Fuck." I'm
talking almost to myself. I feel like I'm in a vacuum. I can't really hear. I
can only stare.
I'm stunned by what just happened. A lot of
people tried to take cover like we did, yet I can see bodies lying on the
ground. Are they dead? There is blood and bits of flesh covering people like a
macabre abstract painting. It's everywhere.
Where are the guys? I shake a stunned Jase, and
we get up from our crouched position. The music has been drowned out by the
screams and sounds of fear inside the club. I shake my head, my ears continuing
to ring.
As people push and shove past us, I take stock
of our surroundings. The explosion was enough to blow the kid up and collect
anybody within its radius of fallout.
What the
fuck. Was this a joke? Is this some staged prank?
I'm having trouble believing what I'm seeing.
Jase and I look at each other.
I have to snap out of it.
What the fuck did this guy do?
What the fuck!
"We need to find the guys and get out of here,"
Jase is shouting at me, the fear clearly evident in his voice.
I rub my hand through my hair, dislodging bits
of gunk. I don't want to think about what it is. "Can you see the others?" I'm
probably shouting back at him since I can't hear myself properly.
The rest of the crowd who are still inside the
bar have just woken up from their places of stunned disbelief and are
frantically trying to help their friends or the person closest to them. They
are as desperate as we are to get out of the club and to safety. They know
something is wrong. Very, very wrong. This is no longer the happy place it was
a few minutes ago.
I herd a group of crying European girls I
noticed earlier hanging out together tonight, splattered with blood and other
bits, towards the front entrance. "Go!" I tell the one who looks the most with
it. "Take your friends and get out of here. Get yourselves some help. Just
stick together."
She nods slowly at me as she pushes her friends
out the door.
I look for Jase, finding him grabbing some
other girls, getting them to move and telling them not to look back.
But I did.
Carnage is spread out like a horror movie
scene. The lighting in the club is a lot dimmer in parts, and broken glass is
everywhere, being crunched under foot. Tables and chairs have been turned over,
toppled in the panic. There is a bloody mess where the guy had once stood. I
try not to look too closely.
Why would a guy do that to himself? It doesn't
make sense.
I can only hope the other guys are safe. Where
the fuck are they?
As fear fully sets in, the remaining people in
the bar are full-blown making a push-and-shove run for it. It's not a good way
to get through a narrow doorway. A couple of guys are smashing the glass
frontage with bar stools, trying to speed up the evacuation. Everybody wants
I'm looking around for a back exit. While there
must be one, I can't see a sign from where I'm standing. When I hear a new wave
of terrified screaming and crying, I turn to the front of the club. A blue
delivery van has been driven up to where the guys broke the glass front.
"Fuck, what now?" I mumble.
A guy gets out and runs off, leaving the car
door open. There are still people trying to escape through the broken windows
near the van. If that van has what I think is in it, they won't stand a chance.
This shit is real.
"Fuck. I'm sorry, Faith, Mom, Dad," I barely
hear myself say. I know what's coming.
I grab Jase and try to get as far from the
front of the bar as possible.
sorry, Harley.
Anywhere, but the front.
I throw Jase in front of me, and we push
against the crowd. We make some distance, but not enough.
Levi, and Keanu, please be safe.
Then it happens.

Are your passwords written down on a piece of paper taped to the bottom of your keyboard? Zipped up in a passworded archive? Stowed away in a passwords.doc file?
On Wednesday we discussed how to choose secure and memorable passwords. But what about the passwords you already have? Or passwords that were assigned to you that you can't change? Or passwords for systems with special requirements that your usual password scheme doesn't work for?
Sometimes you just have to write down a password to remember it. But don't do it on a Post-It note. You can keep a secure and searchable database to retrieve those hard to remember passwords without compromising security using the free, open source software application KeePass.
One master password to rule all
A KeePass database stores all your passwords inside of it in an encrypted state, and uses one master password and/or a key-file to access that database. KeePass has fields for username, password, URL and notes associated with each login, and you can create login groups (like, Windows, web sites, Wifi networks) to organize your passwords. KeePass is highly secure; if you keep it running, it will lock its workspace after a certain amount of idle time and require you enter the master password again to access the database.
Here's how to get KeePass set up.
Download KeePass and install as usual.
Create your KeePass database by choosing New from the File menu. A dialog will prompt you for a master password and/or a key file disk, as shown.
If you want to use a master password to access your database, just enter one into the password field. If you'd like to use a key file stored somewhere on your computer, either choose a disk from the dropdown or choose "Save key-file manually to..." to place the keyfile somewhere other than the root of the drive. A thumb drive is a great place to store a key file. Say you store a KeePass database on a shared computer; you can use your thumb drive as a key to unlock it.
For double security, you can use BOTH a key-file and a master password to secure your KeePass database.
Optional: If you do choose to use a key-file, KeePass will use random mouse movement or random keyboard input to generate the file, as shown. (Click to enlarge.)
Here you can click on the "Use Mouse As Random Source" button and move your mouse around in the dotted box OR just bang on your keys in the Random keyboard input box to generate your key-file. Hit the OK button once you're done. Finally, if you set a master password for your database, you'll have to enter it one more time to confirm.
Once your database is created, add entries to it. KeePass suggests some default groupings for your passwords, like Windows, Network, Internet, Email and Homebanking.
To add an entry, right click in the right pane and choose "Add Entry" from the context menu. Assign your login a name ("Gina's home computer"), a username, a password (or use a pre-generated password), and optional URL, notes, expiration date and file attachment to the entry. You can toggle the ... button next to the password field to display the contents of your password or obscure it with asterisks. KeePass also displays how secure your password is with an as-you-type quality meter, just below the Repeat field as shown.
Find and use your passwords with KeePass
Once all your logins have been entered into KeePass, you can find and use your login information whenever you need it. For example, you may set up a "Wifi networks" password group that lists your logins at all the networks you use, including school, home, friends' houses and coffee shops, as shown.
Upon arriving at Mark's house, you can either browse to your Wifi networks folder or simply enter "Mark" in the search box on the upper right hand corner to retrieve the "Mark's house" entry. Right click on it, and choose "Copy Password to Clipboard" and drop it into Mark's wifi login prompt.
Configure other useful KeePass features for instant password retrieval in the Options panel in the File menu, which include:
Start KeePass with Windows automatically.
Clear any password copied to clipboard after a certain amount of time; or allow for only one password paste for extra security.
Minimize KeePass to the system tray to save Windows taskbar real estate.
Attach files to KeePass entries. This feature is useful for storing PGP signature files (see previously-posted feature, How to encrypt your email for more info) or even passworded Word documents or encrypted text files (see previously-posted feature, Encrypt your data.)
Install KeePass on a thumb drive, with your database saved there as well for instant, secure access to your passwords from any computer with a USB port. (See also Carry your life on a thumb drive.)
For web site passwords, you can also securely save login information directly in Firefox. The advantage of that method is that copy and paste isn't required - Firefox will autofill the login box with your details. However, this only works for web-based passwords - not wifi, network, email, or Windows login information. See Secure your saved passwords in Firefox for more on that.
You can even email yourself the latest version of your KeePass database for access from anywhere. If you'll be working on a non-Windows machine, you can export your KeePass database to text and encrypt that file for reference elsewhere. See also previously-posted Encrypt your data for more on that.
KeePass' structure and security and accessibility makes it a great one-stop shop for all your critical passwords. How do you keep track of your passwords? Let us know in the comments or to tips at lifehacker.com.
Gina Trapani, the editor of Lifehacker, is using her thumb drive KeePass database on the road this very minute. Her semi-weekly feature, Geek to Live, appears every Wednesday and Friday on Lifehacker. Subscribe to the Geek to Live feed to get new installments in your newsreader.

Revised Common Lectionary Readings for Wednesday, March 27, 2024, the Wednesday of Holy Week (Year B)
First Reading Isaiah 50:4-9a
4 The Lord GOD has given me
the tongue of a teacher,
that I may know how to sustain
the weary with a word.
Morning by morning he wakens —
wakens my ear
to listen as those who are taught.
5 The Lord GOD has opened my ear,
and I was not rebellious,
I did not turn backward.
6 I gave my back to those who struck me,
and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard;
I did not hide my face
from insult and spitting.
7 The Lord GOD helps me;
therefore I have not been disgraced;
therefore I have set my face like flint,
and I know that I shall not be put to shame;
8 he who vindicates me is near.
Who will contend with me?
Let us stand up together.
Who are my adversaries?
Let them confront me.
9a It is the Lord GOD who helps me;
who will declare me guilty?
Psalm 70:1-5
1 Be pleased, O God, to deliver me.
O LORD, make haste to help me!
2 Let those be put to shame and confusion
who seek my life.
Let those be turned back and brought to dishonor
who desire to hurt me.
3 Let those who say, "Aha, Aha!"
turn back because of their shame.
4 Let all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you.
Let those who love your salvation
say evermore, "God is great!"
5 But I am poor and needy;
hasten to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
O LORD, do not delay!
Second Reading Hebrews 12:1-3
1Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, 2looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.
3Consider him who endured such hostility against himself from sinners, so that you may not grow weary or lose heart.
Gospel John 13:21-32
21After saying this Jesus was troubled in spirit, and declared, "Very truly, I tell you, one of you will betray me." 22The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he was speaking. 23One of his disciples — the one whom Jesus loved — was reclining next to him; 24Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking. 25So while reclining next to Jesus, he asked him, "Lord, who is it?" 26Jesus answered, "It is the one to whom I give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish." So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot. 27After he received the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, "Do quickly what you are going to do." 28Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. 29Some thought that, because Judas had the common purse, Jesus was telling him, "Buy what we need for the festival"; or, that he should give something to the poor. 30So, after receiving the piece of bread, he immediately went out. And it was night.
31When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. 32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once."

Playing poker online is the perfect fun. Signifies that you can enjoy playing simple . poker games right of the comforts of your home anytime, anywhere! Isn't that fantastic?
The quality of online poker seemed to be increasing a new consequence of the eLearning development of poker. Couple of different methods thousands of articles, analysis and software you may use to build game smarter. 10 years ago this equipment did not exist and when you were a winning player during those times on a $1/$2 blind level, it might probably happen that the same strategy is only enough for beating the $0.25/$0.50 blind level these one month.
This is possibly the biggest trigger of players to take up online poker, as having it . a spare half a while can jump onto the web and play some pc cards. Bringing the online poker 카지노 room into your front home, whilst still being with the people you like has changed the approach we take to play poker for the best.
Peter is the 2004 World Backgammon Champion, was born in Korea but raised in Denmark and the actual reason being one of this find blogs for me this calendar months. Well thought out and motivating web sites. I'm kind of surprised that he is only playing 200nl but looks like he is comfortable and happy playing as well level.
Also find the variance involved with baccarat online . It is possible that you ended up being running above expectation. In poker, downswings are inevitable and you should be able to take care of it. Downswings can be very tough and cruel. Be prepared for them, because in spite of how good you are, and also happen a person.
Canada, Australia, Sweden and North America enjoy American baccarat, often known as punto banco, in the fact that dealer works exclusively with an eight-deck runners.
It is time consuming and the most useful frustrating to create a poker bankroll from nothing. However, it is in addition one quite rewarding poker experiences than a player get. Once you build your bankroll from zero, if possible always realize that you is capable of it as soon as. Just this boost in confidence is any time and effort.

About this website and why I created it
I have collected LED watches for many years. It is because of my passion and accumulated knowledge; I decided to create this Web Site for everyone to enjoy a most rewarding experience.
My first interest in collecting began after seeing numerous articles in a fashion Magazine during the mid 1990's. I discovered there were many beautiful and spacey designs of these unique timepieces. This triggered a fond childhood memory of having owned an inexpensive LED watch in the late 1970's. My quest had just begun! After collecting anything that glowed in red, I fell in love with the rich quality of the Pulsar & Omega high end models. You will see that these are the main focus in this Web Site. My research expanded to tracking down the rarer models; studying these exclusively designed watches along the way. |
My goal is now the creation of this Web Site; making it The Place that I want to visit while continuing my LED watch journey! Be sure to check out the various gallery sections for luminous pictures of my favorite watches and scans, and and always feel free to contact me should you have any Pulsar watches or any LED interesting memorabilia items for sale, You can contact me on Facebook & Twitter (links top right of page), or Email me at [email protected]. I will always be thinking of fresh ideas for this site; updating the sections, providing new, detailed pictures. Be sure to bookmark this Web Site and visit often. |
Above all; Enjoy Your Stay!

To open the 21st century, TAG Heuer would develop entirely new approaches to the construction of watches and their movements.
These innovations would provide record-breaking precision, in watches styled to reflect their leading-edge technologies.
The Monaco V4 Concept Watch introduced an entirely new approach to powering a mechanical watch, with construction that evokes a racing engine. This radical watch used an ingot on rails to produce power, tiny belts to transfer this power, and four barrels that mimic the lay-out of an engine block. Cases for the Monaco V4 have included platinum, titanium, carbon matrix composite, and rose gold, and TAG Heuer marked the 10th anniversary of the model with a tourbillon option.
In 2004, TAG Heuer introduced the Aquaracer line of watches, with roots going back to Heuer's first dive watches from the early 1980s. The first generation Aquaracers offered a 300 meter depth rating, while the next generation (introduced in 2009) increased this to 500 meters. The Aquaracers have used an enormous variety of materials, colors and movements, all designed to provide the diver with a highly-legible, reliable watch.
In 2010, TAG Heuer released its first in-house chronograph movement, the Calibre 1887. The Calibre 1887 is an integrated movement, featuring a column wheel and the same style of oscillating pinion that Heuer had patented in 1887. The Calibre 1887 movement powered a new generation of TAG Heuer Carrera chronographs, and would serve as the basis for the Heuer 01 in-house movement.
In the mid-2000s, TAG Heuer created a workshop that would develop and incorporate cutting edge technologies to produce a very limited number of innovative watches, all being handmade. The Mikrograph (2011) used an integrated movement to offer 1/100 second accuracy, with the central chronograph hand making a full revolution every second. The Mikrotimer Flying 1000 extended TAG Heuer's ultra-high frequency line-up to 1/1,000 second accuracy, with the central chronograph second hand completing 10 rotations per second. The name was derived from the Heuer Microtimer, from 1966, an electronic timer that was the world's first timer with 1/1,000 accuracy. The last of this series was the Mikrogirder, shown in 2012, which offered 5/10'000 second precision. The last of this series was the Mikrogirder, shown in 2012, which offered 5/10'000 second precision. TAG Heuer extended the Pendulum technology when it introduced the Mikropendulum Tourbillon, which offered 1/100 second accuracy and a tourbillon, while the MikropendulumS incorporated two magnetic Pendulums and a double tourbillon.

She lives in Kentucky with her two little Rock Chicks in-the-making and her over protective alpha husband that she's pretty sure is a latent grizzly bear shifter.

She's also a proud member of the Romance Writers of America (RWA).
Chasity Bowlin lives in central Kentucky with her husband and their menagerie of animals. She loves writing, loves traveling and enjoys incorporating tidbits of her actual vacations into her books. She is an avid Anglophile, loving all things British, but specifically all things Regency. She also writes steamy contemporary and paranormal romance.
Growing up in Tennessee, spending as much time as possible with her doting grandparents, soap operas were a part of her daily existence, followed by back to back episodes of Scooby Doo. Her path to becoming a romance novelist was set when, rather than simply have her Barbie dolls cruise around in a pink convertible, they time traveled, hosted lavish dinner parties and one even had an evil twin locked in the attic.

Brake pads are an essential part of your vehicle's braking system. When you press on the brake pedal to stop, the brake pads are then pressed against the brake rotor to create friction. This will make your vehicle safely come to a stop or slow down, depending on how hard you press on the brake pedal. Since brakes are a very important part of your vehicle, getting them serviced at the appropriate time is important. While driving along the roads of San Rafael, San Anselmo, Gallinas, Kentfield, and beyond, having a reliable set of brakes is essential for safely getting to your destination. Getting a brake repair is a seamless process that our technicians can take care of. Our technicians are knowledgeable about the brake system in many different makes and models, cars, trucks, and SUVs, so you can rest assured that your vehicle will be fixed by capable hands. Whether you need your vehicle's brake fluid and brake pads replaced or have any other issues with your vehicle braking, give us a call as soon as possible so you can get an appointment!
There are two different types of brakes: disc brakes and drum brakes. Disc brakes use a small rotor and caliper to stop your vehicle. The components of drum brakes are housed in a round drum. When the brake pedal is applied, the shoe is pushed against the drum and slows your vehicle. Brake pads are flat metal plates that have a layer of friction-creating materials. These materials are usually either non-asbestos organic, ceramic, and semi-metallic. They are all designed to absorb and disperse heat and efficiently stop your vehicle. When you're getting your brake pads replaced, depending on the material composition, it's important to consider the amount of noise and dust. If you have any questions about which brake pad material is best for you and your vehicle, ask our experts at Northgate Automotive, and they'll be happy to answer all your questions.
Signs You Need to Get Your Brake Pad Replaced:
Generally, it is advised to get your brake pad replaced every 50,000 miles. However, there are different factors that determine when to get your brake pads replaced. If you tow more than the average driver or drive up and down more hilly roads, your brake pads will wear down faster than someone's vehicle that primarily commutes on flatter highways. Here are some warning signs that you need your brake pad replaced:
- Squeaking/grinding metal noise: The brakes in your vehicle are equipped with "wear indicators" that are metal tabs that scrape against the brake rotors, resulting in an unpleasant squealing noise. This is a sign that your brake pad has worn down and it is time to make an appointment with us.
- Vibrating brake pedal: If pressing down on the brake pedal feels unstable and stopping your vehicle is more challenging, this is a sign that your brake pad needs to be inspected and replaced if necessary.
- Warning light on the dashboard turns on: Depending on the make and model of your vehicle, it might have a warning light on the dashboard indicating that it is time to replace the brake pads. This works due to a sensor on the brake pad that will alert you if it notices the brake pad is worn out.
- If the brake pad appears to be less than a quarter-inch thick, that means the brake pad is worn out and needs to be replaced soon.
Whatever issue you may be having with your brakes, our technicians can take a look at it and fix it! Come to Northgate Automotive in San Rafael if you are nearby and need to get your brakes repaired.

Jacob, a 2010 Bethany graduate, is a kantor, or director of parish music, at Emmanuel Lutheran Church and School in Dearborn, Michigan. As kantor, Jacob is theologically and musically trained to lead the Church in uplifting and meaningful song.
WHAT YOU DO • • • Throughout the year, I serve as the principal organist for all worship services. During the summer I plan the music for the church and school year. The various ensembles that I direct include the children's choir, adult choir, children's handbell choir, adult handbell choir, and the adult brass. I also oversee the K-8 music curriculum for the school and the various music festivals we host at the school. Finally, while the school year is in session, my weekdays are consumed with practicing, teaching music classes, piano and instrumental lessons.
Probably one of the greatest joys and passions that I have is the time I spend composing for the Church. Within the last year and a half, my composing workload and craft has blossomed. Ever since publishing my first children's choir manuscript with Concordia Publishing House (St. Louis, MO) I have had ample opportunity via commissions to compose for the Church, including texts and music for Concordia Publishing House's (CPH) Sunday school curriculum, CPH's new children's hymnal resource titled "My First Hymnal," and a new organ prelude series highlighting all hymn tunes in Lutheran Service Book, composed by a plethora of composers. However, my latest and most exciting project is a unique new organ series entitled "Soli Deo Gloria: 8 Distinctive Chorale Preludes for Every Organist, Set 1" released by Concordia Publishing House in May 2012. Many of the compositions in the first set of this series were composed and performed at Bethany for the New Music Recital and for Bethany student weddings. It is exciting and inspiring for me to have a "home" for my work as I compose throughout my lifetime. Aside from publishing with CPH, Northwestern Publishing House (Milwaukee, WI) also publishes my choral and organ settings.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU • • • The passion God has instilled in me for music is what draws me to my field. Serving Christ and His Church in order to further the preaching of the Gospel through music is an incredible motivation. Throughout my life I have been encouraged to take up a career in music, but I was also encouraged to consider a different route in life due to the lack of full-time jobs in the music field. This did not stop me, and I must say it inspired and motivated me even more to explore my prayer and dream of becoming a full time musician and to prove that I could successfully secure a job in my field.
HOW YOU WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE • • • As I teach children the joy of music and hymnody, it is my hope that they will grab hold of what they learn and take it with them throughout their lives and one day teach their own children or classroom. Additionally, composition and publishing have always been life goals, and I'm blessed by God to have accomplished it so early in my life. Through my composing, I pray that my music will fill parishes throughout the country and edify all those who hear it by interpreting the texts on which the music is based.
HOW BETHANY HAS PREPARED YOU • • • At Bethany, your professors aren't just your teachers, they're your friends. How incredibly unique a Bethany education is! Additionally, the music degree prepares you for many areas of the music field, whether you're interested in theory, history, composition, performance, or pursuing further education. Bethany has the resources and the professors that will ultimately allow you to succeed and accomplish great things. In order to fulfill my requirements for my music major, I was expected to complete field experience. Through this endeavor, I gained leadership experience and skills that would help me in my career, and ultimately aid in landing a job after graduation.
WHAT YOU REMEMBER MOST • • • What I remember most about Bethany was the worship life. Chapel on a daily basis just could not be beat. I was certainly blessed by this at Bethany, as the Holy Spirit worked faith in my heart during a very strong, yet a very weak time of my life. I also remember the freedom to study and excel in my field with the assistance of my professors and colleagues. It was such an incredible blessing to be at Bethany for my degree because it allowed me to gain confidence and knowledge in what I do. Every day was a new experience full of hands-on learning.
ADVICE FOR CURRENT STUDENTS • • • Continue to work hard to achieve your goals and your dreams. If you are a music major and you second-guess your job options after graduation, stay optimistic and work towards becoming really good at whatever it is you do … performing, composing, teaching, etc. Search for jobs, apply, get interview experience, and overall get exposed to what the world has to offer. Make connections with others in your field. Establishing these from the get-go could potentially set you up for your first full-time endeavor.
If you're like me, you'll look forward to every opportunity you have to step foot on campus as an alumnus. Strive to leave an impression and make a difference. Be your unique self and stand up for who you are. Never give up. Continually pray for faith, strength, and perseverance. Most of all enjoy every moment of your Bethany education!

Hartke, Vance, 1968
Scope and Contents
The Richard Schwarzlose Papers fill thirty-one and one-half boxes and span the period 1955 to 2003. The papers are divided into six categories: approximately three and one-half boxes of biographical materials, two and one-half boxes of general correspondence, ten boxes of academic career materials, one box of professional files, one box of research files and thirteen and one-half boxes of writings, publications, and speeches.
The biographical materials cover Schwarzlose's education, employment and other general matters. Among the items included are citations from awards received and publications clippings concerning or citing Schwarzlose. Also included are student papers Schwarzlose wrote while earning his B.S. degree in journalism from the University of Illinois along with correspondence, minutes and notes from a term as president of his college fraternity, Alpha Kappa Lamda. Materials relating to his graduate education, including notes and papers from various classes and his master's degree thesis and doctoral dissertation are found here. Employment information includes notes from Schwarzlose's occupational searches, files about several jobs he held during graduate school and resumes from throughout his career.
The general correspondence contains cards, letters and e-mail texts arranged in folders according to surname of correspondent or by name of organization, institution or topic. Folders are alphabetically arranged by heading or by correspondents' surnames. Items within each folder are arranged in chronological order.
The academic career materials contain a small number of files from Schwarzlose's teaching jobs at the University of Illinois and Purdue University and a larger volume relating to his employment at Northwestern University. Materials concerning Schwarzlose's Northwestern work are arranged alphabetically by topical headings with major groupings of folders in the following categories: committees, correspondence, diversity issues, fellowships and grants, international visitors and travel. Of particular interest are minutes and notes from several Medill and Northwestern committees, including information from the Medill dean's searches of 1989 and 1996-1997. The correspondence files include letters between Schwarzlose and other Northwestern professors and administrators such as Ken Bode, Loren Ghiglione, Mike Janeway and John Lavine, as well as nine folders of general correspondence chronologically arranged. The international visitors and travel files chronicle Schwarzlose's interest in freedom of the press in other countries, especially nations of the former Soviet Bloc and Yugoslavia. Teaching materials include notes, syllabi, handouts, examinations and some student work from two Northwestern residential college tutorials and several Medill undergraduate courses that Schwarzlose taught including history and issues of journalism, copy editing, and government and news media, later known as history, law and ethics of journalism. There are also several folders covering the oral history project Schwarzlose launched with some of his classes in an effort to conduct and record interviews with influential Chicago journalists.
Professional files contain information relating to Schwarzlose's work outside of Medill. One folder holds correspondence, flyers and notes relating to his membership in the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication and to that organization's annual convention. More extensive are files detailing Schwarlose's work as a reviewer and author for several publishers and publications, including Oxford University Press, Prentice-Hall, The Quill, and the San Diego Union. Finally, there are files relating to Schwarzlose's work as an editor for the World Book and for Gift O' the Sea, a history of the Rust-Oleum Corporation.
Research files reflect Schwarzlose's work in journalism ethics and on the history of the wire services. The folders relating to ethics research include correspondence and notes on the attempt to create an ethics, law and history department at Northwestern, the creation of the Medill Honor Pledge, the Northwestern University Center for Professional Ethics, and problems or situational exercises relating to ethics in journalism. One folder of correspondence concerns Schwarzlose's two-volume history of the American wire services through 1920, The Nation's Newsbrokers.
A significant volume of material relates to publications, speeches and appearances by Schwarzlose. The files include articles written for scholarly and popular publications; texts of speeches delivered before at Northwestern, alumni, civic and professional events; items pertaining to television and radio appearances; conference papers; panelist information; and books. Drafts, correspondence, reviews and related material pertaining to The Nation's Newsbrokers and to Newspapers: A Reference Guide, form a significant portion of this subseries. The manuscript of an unfinished book, Sensationalized News: Journalism at the Crossroads is also found here. Many of Schwarzlose's speeches deal with the topic of journalism ethics, focusing on issues from campaign coverage to hyped stories to freedom of the press abroad. The publications, speeches and appearances files contain not only texts of Schwarzlose's articles or speeches but often correspondence and notes concerning the engagements or publications at or through which they were presented.
Addition, Boxes 33-34
Several folders of curricular materials further documenting Schwarzlose's career as a teacher have been added to the series. The materials date from the period circa 1982-2003 and pertain largely to undergraduate and graduate courses taught at Northwestern University. Included are syllabi, examinations, notes, and course handouts relating to Medill School of Journalism courses as well as to courses offered through the Alumnae of Northwestern University and through the National High School Institute. The curricular materials are arranged in folders alphabetically by course title or by name of sponsoring organization.
