Woman charged with making terrorist threats
Witzberger asks for reduced bond
June 12, 2013
NEW CUMBERLAND — A woman charged with making terrorist threats against her former New Cumberland apartment building in March is asking for her bond to be reduced so she can relocate to Brooke Count....
She was evicted for non payment of rent...Her rent was paid on March 1 and the ***** in the office filed the complaint on March 5. The Office manager after getting the judgement from the Magistrate stated that she did receive the Money orders but decided to HOLD them so she could get her evicted . The dirty magistrate Scott Hicks allowed it! This Woman did not do anything to these people infact the Apartment building employees made false reports for the next 5 days to the police. The Police shoed up to her house twice each day on bogus complaints until she was arrested on bogus charges that landed her in jail for 5 months. While she was incarcerated, the Apartment manager and her merry band of thieves went into this womans apartment and STOLE everything she owned, Money , Jewelry, furniture, her clothes and electronics. They helped themselves to EVERYTHING until this woman had NOTHING. She was released after 5 months because they had NOTHING as EVIDENCE against her.

Donation creates the Andrew J. Bass Jr. Admissions Center and establishes endowment for Missouri Hall building fund
|Andrew J. Bass Jr.
Andy Bass Jr. was a long-time trustee for the college, serving 30 years from 1966 until 1996, when he became a trustee emeritus. In 1988, the college awarded him with an honorary doctor of humanities degree for his outstanding service.
Missouri Hall was built in 1920 as a home economics building combined with dormitory space. In the last few decades, it has been used to house administrative offices. Currently, it is being renovated to become a one-stop student services center. Renovations are expected to be complete in early 2007.
"Christian College and Columbia College are an important part of my family's past, and the restoration of Missouri Hall is an important part of the college's future," said Tom Bass. "My dad was dedicated to this college and to its success. I think he would be pleased to know the Admissions Center in Missouri Hall is named in his honor."
In addition to serving on the board of trustees for 30 years, Andy Bass Jr. donated his personal home to the college in 1977. Tom Bass and his sisters, Mary Wanless and Drew Stull, also established an endowed scholarship in their father's memory in 2001 in the amount of nearly $25,000.
The Bass family's close association with the college began in 1857 when Tom Bass' great-great-grandfather, John Machir, joined the board of trustees. He served on the board until 1899-an impressive 42 years. Tom Bass' great-grandmother, Martha Woodson Machir Dorsey, was an 1870 graduate of Christian College. In addition, numerous aunts and cousins graduated from Christian College.
In 1978, Bass Commons on the Columbia College campus was dedicated in honor of Tom Bass' grandmother, Mary Machir Dorsey Bass, when she held the distinction of being the oldest living graduate of the college at age 95. She died one year later. Mary Bass graduated from Christian College in 1901, and the Columbia College Alumni Club honored her in 1968 for her many years of devoted service as an alumna, club member and loyal contributor to the college's annual fund.
Columbia College serves nearly 25,000 students each year at its Day Campus, Evening Campus, Nationwide Campuses, Online Campus and Graduate Studies Program.
The college was founded in 1851 as Christian Female College and was renamed Columbia College in 1970 when it became coeducational.

New Jersey Health Statistics 1996
Sources of Data
Births, Deaths and Fetal Deaths
Birth, death and fetal death certificates are the source documents for data on these events. Birth certificates are usually completed by hospital personnel, while death and fetal death certificates are prepared by hospital personnel, physicians, medical examiners and funeral directors. Certificates of births, deaths and fetal deaths which occur in New Jersey are transmitted through local registrars to the State Registrar for processing and filing. Through agreements sponsored by the national Vital Statistics Cooperative Program, information from birth, death and fetal death certificates for New Jersey residents are sent to the State Registrar when these events occur in other states. Information from certificates on out-of-state vital events are provided under the program for statistical purposes only.
The birth, death and fetal death data presented in this report were generated from data files available at the time of preparation of the respective chapters. Any data pertaining to a vital event for which a certificate was filed after that time or relating to corrections or revisions made since the data were processed for this report are not included. Birth and death computer files are periodically updated by Bureau of Vital Statistics and Center for Health Statistics staff based on correction reports received from local registrars and from quarterly data quality control analyses conducted by the Center for Health Statistics. This report incorporates data from the most recently updated files. Thus, data for the current year presented in future reports of vital events may differ slightly from numbers presented in this report.
Information on marriages in this report was obtained from marriage certificates issued in New Jersey. Marriage certificates are filed with the State Registrar. Divorce and annulment statistics were provided by the New Jersey Superior Court, Chancery Division. Marriages are recorded by the place of issuance of the certificate and divorces and annulments are recorded by place of judgment. Marriages, divorces and annulments of New Jersey residents which occur outside of the state are not included in this report, while marriages and divorces of out-of-state residents occurring in New Jersey are included.
Reporting of cases of selected communicable diseases to the State Department of Health and Senior Services is required under the New Jersey Sanitary Code, Chapter II and the N.J.A.C. 8:57. Cases of AIDS are reportable to the HIV/AIDS Surveillance Program in the AIDS Epidemiological Services Unit of the Division of AIDS Prevention and Control, while reports of other communicable diseases are filed with appropriate units within the Division of Communicable Diseases. Summary reports of cases of communicable diseases by county of residence and selected demographic characteristics are provided by these units.
Population figures for 1996 which are presented in this report and used to calculate various rates are estimates developed by the U. S. Bureau of the Census for the National Cancer Institute. Estimates were developed for the state and the twenty-one counties by age, race, Hispanic ethnicity and sex categories. These estimates may be revised by the Census Bureau, as a series of estimates for the decade is developed. The current set of estimates presented in this report have not been rounded. However, it should not be presumed that they have the degree of accuracy which such precise figures might imply. Official 1996 population estimates for New Jersey and its counties are available through the Center for Health Statistics and through the Division of Labor Market and Demographic Research of the New Jersey Department of Labor.
For public health planning and policy determination, the most useful population to study is usually the resident population of an area. In the case of births, deaths and fetal deaths, the existence of resident certificate exchange agreements among the registration areas in the country permits analysis of resident birth and death statistics. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented for births, deaths and fetal deaths represent vital events of the resident population. Morbidity data relate to New Jersey residents; reports of cases of communicable diseases diagnosed in New Jersey residents in other states are transmitted to the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services. Marriage and divorce statistics in this report represent vital events which occurred in New Jersey, regardless of the state of residence of the individuals involved.
Allocation of vital events by place of residence within the state is sometimes difficult because classification depends on the statement of the usual place of residence provided by the informant at the time the certificate is completed. For a variety of reasons, the information given may be incorrectly recorded. A common source of error is the confusion of mailing address with residence address. A major project to correctly allocate New Jersey births by municipality of mother's residence has been completed. As of the 1996 report, selected birth data will be presented for municipalities with relatively large populations and recognized concentrations of health problems. The degree to which incorrect information on municipality of residence has been recorded on death certificates is not precisely known, but this issue is generally a problem only for certain minor civil divisions. Therefore, death data are not presented for municipalities known to have a relatively high level of uncertainty in allocation of municipality.
The reporting of births and deaths is considered to be essentially complete. According to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), more than 99 percent of births and deaths are registered. Reporting of fetal deaths is believed to be somewhat less complete. For later periods of gestation, however, fetal death reporting is thought to be more complete (NCHS, 1994). The completeness of reporting by residence is dependent on the effective functioning of the interstate data exchange program for certificates which is fostered and encouraged by NCHS. Research has shown that there is some degree of slippage in receiving information on all births and deaths of New Jersey residents occurring in other states. However, the number of missing events is thought to be small, relative to the overall number of events.
The quality of the birth, death and fetal death data included in this report is a function of the accuracy and completeness of the information recorded on the respective certificates and of the quality control procedures employed in the coding and keying processes. A query program in which the individual(s) responsible for completing the certificate is questioned about missing or conflicting information is carried out by staff of the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services. This process is augmented by the data quality control analyses performed by the Center for Health Statistics using all of the NCHS edit criteria.
In order to participate in the national Vital Statistics Cooperative Program, states had to achieve an error rate of two percent or less on each certificate item for three consecutive months. The error rates relate to both coding and data entry errors. New Jersey has met the error tolerance requirements for the cooperative program. After satisfying initial requirements, a monthly sample of records is used to determine that the error rate on each birth certificate item is approximately four percent or less and is no more than two percent of each death certificate item other than the medical cause-of-death information. Due to the complexity of the coding system, cause-of-death coding has a five percent error tolerance level set by NCHS. Multiple cause-of-death coding of New Jersey death records is performed by NCHS staff.
Racial designations used in this report are white, black and other races, which includes all racial groups other than white or black. The reporting of ethnicity is limited to Hispanic and non-Hispanic categories. These classifications are based on self-reports, or in the case of death records, on reports from respondents, usually a family member, or from persons responsible for preparing the death certificates. The race and ethnicity of an infant are not reported on the birth certificate and are classified for statistical purposes as the race and ethnicity of the mother.
A racial group (white, black or a detailed list of twelve other races and an unknown race category) and an ethnicity (Hispanic or non-Hispanic) are reported for each individual for whom a vital record is filed. Thus persons who are identified as Hispanic have also been included in any analysis of data by race, in one of the racial groups or in the race not stated category, if a racial group is not reported.
Apgar Score - a summary measure of an infant's clinical condition based on heart rate, respiratory effort, muscle tone, reflex irritability and color taken at one and five minutes after delivery. Each of the factors is given a score of 0, 1, or 2; the sum of these five values is the Apgar score which can range from 0 to 10. A score of 10 is optimal and a low score (usually considered to be less than 7) is considered an indication of potential health problems and raises concerns about the subsequent health and survival of the infant.
Birth Weight - the first weight of the fetus or newborn obtained after delivery. Birth weight is recorded in grams.
Live Birth - the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of conception, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy, which, after such separation, breathes or shows any evidence of life, such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles.
Low Birth Weight - birth weight of less than 2,500 grams or approximately 5 pounds, 8 ounces. Prior to 1989, New Jersey defined low birth weight as 2,500 grams or less.
Marital Status - the marital status of the mother for statistical purposes is determined for data years after 1988 by the response to the birth certificate item, "Mother married? (At birth, conception, or any time between)".
Risk Factors for This Pregnancy (Ventura, et al., 1998):
Previous Pregnancy Terminations - from the mother's pregnancy history on the certificate of live birth, a previous spontaneous or induced termination of pregnancy at any time after conception that did not result in a live birth.
Trimester of Pregnancy - the first trimester includes the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, the second trimester encompasses the thirteenth through twenty-fourth weeks and the third trimester is the period after the twenty-fourth week through delivery.
Very Low Birth Weight - birth weight of less than 1,500 grams or approximately 3 pounds, 5 ounces.
Cause of Death Classification - a system of specification of the diseases and/or injuries which led to death and the sequential order of their occurrence. The version of the system currently in use is the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (1977), sponsored by the World Health Organization.
Fetal Death - death prior to the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of conception; the fetus shows no signs of life such as breathing or beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles. In New Jersey, the law requires reporting of fetal deaths of 20 or more weeks of gestation.
Infant Death - death within the first year of life.
Maternal Death - a death in which the certifying physician has designated a maternal condition as the underlying cause of death. In the Ninth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases, (1977), the World Health Organization defined a maternal death as "the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and site of the pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management but not from accidental or incidental causes".
Neonatal Death - death of an infant within the first 27 days of life.
Perinatal Mortality - for purposes of this report, includes fetal deaths of 20 or more weeks of gestation and neonatal deaths.
Postneonatal Mortality - death of an infant from 28 days to one year of life.
Underlying Cause of Death - the disease or injury which initiated the train of events leading directly to death or the circumstances of the unintentional injury or violence which produced the fatal injury. All cause-of-death data in this report relate to the underlying cause of death coded from the death certificate.
Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL) - a measure of the number of years of life not lived by each individual who died before reaching a predetermined age. For purposes of this report, the predetermined age is 65. This measure weights deaths at younger ages more heavily than deaths at older ages; the younger the age at death, the greater the number of years of potential life lost. The YPLL for a population is computed as the sum of all the individual YPLL for individuals who died during a specific time period.
Communicable Diseases
Stages of Syphilis (Larsen and Kraus, 1990):
Primary Syphilis - begins within approximately 30 hours after infection; a primary chancre usually forms within two through six weeks of infection. Both treponemal and nontreponemal antibodies appear one through four weeks after the lesion has formed. Even without treatment, the lesion usually resolves within two months.
Secondary Syphilis - occurs within six weeks of healing of the primary lesion. Disseminated lesions appear that are attributable to systemic infection. Virtually every organ and tissue of the body are affected. Whether treated or untreated, the lesions of secondary syphilis usually resolve within 2 through 10 weeks.
Latent Syphilis - this stage represents a conversion from an acute to a chronic infection. After the first year, the host's immune response suppresses the infection to the point where lesions are not clinically apparent. A patient with reactive nontreponemal or treponemal tests in the absence of clinical symptoms is said to have latent syphilis. A patient is categorized as having early latent syphilis if the serologic tests of that patient have been nonreactive within the preceding year or if symptoms suggestive of primary or secondary syphilis were present during that time. Other patients are considered to have late latent syphilis and should be evaluated for potential asymptomatic neurosyphilis.
Verified Case of Tuberculosis - is also referred to as a new active case of tuberculosis. These cases are characterized by (1) any bacteriological confirmation of the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis or (2) in the absence of bacteriological confirmation, for a diagnosis of active pulmonary tuberculosis the patient must present a positive purified protein derivative (PPD), or must exhibit a positive chest x-ray, or in the case of children, must be epidemiologically linked to another active case of tuberculosis. In the case of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, the patient must show signs of clinical improvement while taking tuberculosis medication (K. Shilkret, personal communication, 1992).
All Tables in the Report
Not Stated - an inclusive term used to represent data which are missing, unknown, not available, or not classifiable.
The presentation of vital statistics in the form of rates and ratios facilitates comparisons between political subdivisions with populations of different sizes or between subgroups of a population. Crude rates are calculated by dividing the number of events of a type that occur to the residents of an area, e.g., births, deaths, fetal deaths, by the resident population of an area or subgroup. The events are limited to those that occur within a specific time period, usually a year, and the population is, in general, the mid-year estimate of the resident population of the area, although census counts as of April 1 may be used in decennial census years. Crude rates are expressed in terms of occurrences within a standard, rounded population, usually 1,000 or 100,000.
While the denominators for rates consist of the population at risk of the events included in the numerator (e.g., births, deaths, fetal deaths), ratios are designed to indicate the relationship between two counts in which the denominator population is not at risk of the events included in the numerator. An example of a ratio contained in this report is the maternal mortality ratio in which the number of deaths due to maternal causes forms the numerator and the number of live births provides the denominator.
In order to compare natality and mortality experience among various ages and races or between the sexes, rates may be computed for subgroups of the population. These are referred to as age-, race-, or sex-specific rates and are calculated by dividing the relevant events within a subgroup by the population in the subgroup. Death rates from specific causes may also be calculated, with the numerator consisting of the deaths from the particular cause in an area and the denominator comprised of the population at risk of the disease or condition.
The numbers of births and deaths in an area are directly related to the demographic characteristics of the area's population. In comparing rates over time or among geographic areas, it is helpful to eliminate the effects of the differences in the populations' demographic characteristics on the comparison. This can be accomplished through adjustments of the rates for the particular characteristics of interest. Since age is the variable that has the greatest effect on the magnitude of rates (Shryock, Siegel and Associates, 1976), the most common type of adjustment of rates is for age. Direct adjustment of vital statistics rates involves application of existing rates (age-, race-, or sex-specific) to a standard population to arrive at the theoretical number of events that would occur in the standard population, at the rates prevailing in the actual population. These events are then divided by the total number of persons in the standard population to arrive at an adjusted rate. Adjusted rates are index numbers and cannot be compared to crude or other actual rates. The use of adjusted rates is limited to comparison with other adjusted rates, based on the same standard population. The standard population used in this report is the United States 1940 standard million, derived from the counts of the 1940 decennial census.
The definition of rates and ratios used in this report follows. It should be noted that alternative forms exist for some of these statistics. Some other states and the federal government may employ different formulae for the computation of selected rates, in particular, the perinatal and fetal death rates.
Age-Adjusted Death Rate - Direct Method-the elimination of the effect of age on the crude death rates for purposes of comparison with other rates by applying actual age-specific rates to a standard population. The resulting death rate in the standard population is age-adjusted and can be compared to other death rates age-adjusted to the same standard population.
Age-Specific Birth Rate - the number of resident live births to females in a specific age group per 1,000 females in the age group.
Cause-Specific Death Rate - the number of resident deaths from a specific cause per 100,000 population.
Crude Birth Rate - the number of resident live births per 1,000 population.
Crude Death Rate - the number of resident deaths per 100,000 population.
Divorce Rate - the number of divorces occurring in an area per 1,000 population.
Fetal Death Rate - the number of resident fetal deaths of 20 or more weeks gestation per 1,000 resident live births plus fetal deaths of 20 or more weeks of gestation.
General Fertility Rate - the number of resident live births per 1,000 females aged 15 through 44 years.
Infant Death Rate - the number of resident deaths under one year of age per 1,000 population.
Infant Mortality Rate - the ratio of the number of deaths to children less than one year of age in a given year per 1,000 births in the same year.
Marriage Rate - the number of marriage certificates issued in an area per 1,000 population.
Maternal Mortality Ratio - the number of resident deaths from complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium per 100,000 resident live births.
Neonatal Death Rate - the number of resident infant deaths within the first 27 days of life per 1,000 live births.
Perinatal Death Rate - the number of resident neonatal deaths plus resident fetal deaths of 20 or more weeks gestation per 1,000 resident live births plus fetal deaths of 20 or more weeks gestation.
Postneonatal Death Rate - the number of resident infant deaths from 28 days to one year of life per 1,000 live births.
Total Fertility Rate - age-specific birth rates of women in five-year age groups multiplied by five and summed to form a total for all ages. This rate yields the number of children a cohort of 1,000 women would bear if they experienced the existing age-specific birth rates throughout their childbearing years.
Caution should be exercised in the interpretation of rates and ratios based on small numbers. Chance variations in the number of vital events occurring in sparsely populated areas can cause rates to fluctuate widely over time. For purposes of analyzing vital statistics rates for small areas, calculation of three or five-year average rates and other statistical methodologies for analyzing small numbers may provide more meaningful measures.
The cause-of-death rankings found in this report are based on the list of 35 cause groups and a residual category employed in the cause-of-death distributions by race-sex groups and age and by county in the report. The one exception is that the cause groups Motor Vehicle Fatalities and Other Unintentional Injuries are combined into a single category, Unintentional Injuries, for purposes of ranking leading causes of death. As of the publication of New Jersey Health Statistics, 1992 , a minor change was made in the grouping of certain infectious and parasitic diseases which transferred a few ICD-9 codes that had previously been included in the "Residual" category and to the "Other Infectious and Parasitic Disease" grouping. This was done to make the groupings more consistent with NCHS' presentation of mortality data.
The cause-of-death
ranking of infant deaths is based on the NCHS List of 61 Selected Causes
of Infant Death (Peters, K.D., et al., 1998).

Sandy Feutz/Mesa Verde National Park
Sandy Feutz/Mesa Verde National Park
The 12th annual Indian Arts and Culture Festival has a new feather in its cap this year.
Tagged as a �must-attend festival� in Patricia Schultz�s best-seller, 1000 Places to See Before You Die, the weeklong celebration should be the biggest yet. The festival, which coincides with Archaeology Month in Colorado, includes special events in Mesa Verde National Park, A juried Native American art market, and a Navajo rug seminar and auction.
Native American dancers and cultural programs are daily and nightly features, as well as special �festival only� archaeological tours. The Anasazi Heritage Center will offer behind-the-scenes collection tours, and the �Pieces of the Puzzle: New Perspectives on the Hohokam� exhibit. The center serves as the visitor center and research center for Canyons of the Ancients National Monument.
Mesa Verde National Park will have tours of cliff dwellings throughout the festival, as well as glass-blowing demonstrations by award-winning Hopi glass artist Ramson Lomatewama.
Guides from Ute Mountain Tribal Park are offering archaeological tours featuring pictographs and petrographs during the festival. Ute Mountain Tribal Park is an area set aside by the Ute Mountain Utes � one of the seven original Ute bands that inhabited Colorado � to preserve ancestral Puebloan architecture. Ute tour guides interpret Ute Indian history, pictographs, geological land formations, and ancestral Pueblo petroglyphs, artifacts and dwellings.
The 2012 festival�s featured artists are jewelry designers Joe and Le Jeune Chavez from Santo Domingo Pueblo. Joe Chavez�s works involve hand-polishing sterling silver to a mirror-like surface, blending cut-out designs, overlay technique and texture-on-overlay. Finished pieces combine traditional Pueblo culture with contemporary innovation.
Le Jeune Chavez designs intricate beadwork with glass beads, Swarovski crystals and rare antique beads. The Chavezes� works have appeared at the Heard Museum in Phoenix, the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., the Red Earth Native American Art Show in Oklahoma City and the Santa Fe Indian Market.
The festival�s theme, �Celebrating Our Song,� highlights the deeper understanding of the archaeology and Native American culture that have made our area a trading center and merging point for many cultures over the last 2,000 years.
The Indian Arts and Culture Festival is supported in part by a �Preserve America� grant from the Department of the Interior, National Park Service.

World Shakes Off Nikkei's 7.3% Plunge
Shortly after the Nikkei Stock Average suffered one of its worst single-day declines in decades, a 7.3% drop, Japan's economy minister moved quickly to soothe market fears.
Akira Amari said Japanese stocks in recent months had risen "faster than expected." Weak Chinese manufacturing data in the morning had prompted sellers to "take profits all at the same time," he said.
Muted stock declines in Europe and the U.S. show that investors around the globe for now are inclined to agree with Mr. Amari, wagering that Thursday's selloff in Japan is an isolated case of market blues rather than a cause for broader concern.
Many investors continue to argue that global stocks are likely to continue rising, bolstered by improving economic growth, reasonable valuations and hefty support for financial markets from central banks like the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan.
But even some bulls warn that uneven economic data, the sharp rise in U.S. and Japanese stocks and increased interest by short-term investors including hedge funds could pave the way for more-volatile trading.
Japanese stocks are up more than 60% since late November, when Shinzo Abe, now Japan's prime minister, hinted that his administration would sharply increase the money supply in a bid to restart a sputtering economy. The actual bond-buying program didn't start until last month, however, and skeptics stress it is too early to declare victory.
"It's far from certain that these policies are going to work," says Larry Kantor, head of research for Barclays PLC. "It's not like people have seen four quarters of strong growth in the Japanese economy so that they're convinced of the efficacy of these big policy moves."
The pullback in the Nikkei on Thursday started with modest declines that picked up steam after Tokyo's lunch break, with stocks finishing the day at the session low, for the index's biggest one-day retreat in two years. Over the past three decades, declines of such a magnitude have tended to come on days of global weakness—during the international financial crisis in the fall of 2008, for instance. But, on Thursday, no other major markets fell nearly as far as Japan's did.
In the U.S., stocks started the day sharply lower, shaving 127 points off the Dow Jones Industrial Average in the opening minutes of trading, before reversing those losses to push into positive territory by midday. The Dow ended the Thursday session off a modest 12.67 points, or 0.1%.
In Mr. Kantor's view, the increased role of central banks in driving capital markets means asset-price fluctuations are being driven more by investor speculation over what central bankers will do next, paving the way for erratic moves. "It becomes less about market dynamics and more about central-bank policy and speculation," he said.
Another outsize factor in the recent rally has been the heavy participation of hedge funds and other institutional investors in the U.S. and Europe, who have made betting on the Japanese stock market one of the most popular investments this year.
When these fast-moving hedge funds reverse their bets, however, or see better opportunity elsewhere, the rally could lose an important pillar of support.
Terrence Connelly of Contingent Macro Advisors LLC in Lafayette, Calif., which works with hedge funds, says many of the funds betting on gains in Japanese stocks protected themselves using "trailing stop" orders, which sell stocks at a certain percentage level below the market's current price, in the event of a market pullback. During the Thursday selloff in Japan, many of these orders were triggered, Mr. Connelly says.
Some large funds say they will continue to bet on Japanese stocks but will closely monitor the Japanese bond market. A slow rise in yields could be beneficial to the economy, if it means inflation expectations in the country, but a volatile jolt higher for yields on Japanese government bonds would undermine confidence, the investors said.
"Abe hasn't done much other than buy a lot of" Japanese government bonds and push the yen lower, says Raj Gupta, who runs Invictus RG Pte. Ltd., a $200 million Singapore-based hedge fund that has been selling its Japanese stock positions over the past few weeks. "None of the structural issues in Japan have been addressed."
Many market watchers continue to see opportunities for future gains on the Nikkei, despite Thursday's pullback.
Michael Kurtz, Hong Kong-based strategist and head of global equity strategy at Nomura, the Japanese investment bank, said the decline appeared to reflect shorter-term tactical moves by traders, rather than a more durable change in thinking among longer-term investors about Japan's prospects. He still sees Japanese stocks as cheap.
While the Fed's latest hints of tapering off its stimulus and the disappointing Chinese manufacturing report may have triggered some investor worries Thursday, Mr. Kurtz said neither "rises to the level of a deep fundamental impairment of Japan's medium-term growth and equity-return prospects."
"In a few weeks' time, we suspect this event will likely be looked back on as having been a helpful buying opportunity," Mr. Kurtz told clients.

Benyamin, while being quite young at the time, is notably missing when Yosef is sold. Does he deserve a reward for not participating or was he simply not included and therefore is incidental in the story? The only way I can figure to determine the answer to this question is to determine if he in fact did receive a reward. Therefore...Did Benyamin receive a reward for not having participated sale of Yosef?

According the Chida, who says it in the name of the Rokeach (Brought in Vedibarta Bam):
So, while it wasn't a reward, Yosef gave only Binyamin 300 silver pieces, so that the other brothers, who did sell him, would lose out on 300 silver pieces. This would take place of the fine they halachically owed.
As @Alex pointed out in the comments, the Torah Sheleimah brings this idea down in the name of many Rishonim.

I am in the process of creating a website. Currently the website has a solid white background with black text. However, on different monitors the white background can be blinding bright. I have attempted to changed the background to a more off-white color but it still can be bright. What are some techniques or ideas that are considered good UX design to help minimize this blinding white screen but not having a dark or black background with white text?
It's the contrast between your background and foreground colours that matters. So most things that will reduce this contrast while still having the text readable will help.
Personally, I like having an off-while subtle texture as the background and dark grey text for the foreground. This is still readable and easy on the eyes.
I agree with JohnGB, the contrast between your foreground and background will determine the legibility of your website.
However, your question seems more of a monitor problem than a specific UX question. All monitors are different and users have different levels of tolerance of the brightness set on their screens.
For example, UX StackExchange is mostly white with blue/black text. I have no problems reading it on my monitors with the brightness set to max.
So I wouldn't make these changes because "you" think it's too bright on "your" monitor. I would do some research on similar sites or conduct some tests with your audience to determine that.

The Jefferson County Fourth Street Health Center truly has had a positive impact in our community.
In just six short years, the health clinic established to help the area's uninsured and under insured receive quality medical care has grown by leaps and bounds, thanks to the officials who oversee operations and its many volunteers.
The health center opened its doors in a former dinette on North Fourth Street in Steubenville on March 13, 2006. The project of several community leaders who recognized the growing need for such a clinic, the health center operated on local donations, and officials applied for federal, state or local grants shortly after the clinic began operations.
Since those early days, the clinic has continued to offer basic health care for patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure and respiratory ailments. In fact, it served its 10,000th patient recently, and that's something to be proud of.
The success at the Fourth Street location has allowed for a satellite clinic in Mount Pleasant, and plans are under way to add a dental clinic and pharmacy to the operation, as well as expand the medical facilities through a donation of a former medical office building from Holy Trinity Greek Church.
Under the leadership of Ann Quillen, executive director, the clinic is basically operated by volunteers, and that includes doctors, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, nurses and other medical staffers, as well as office workers, medical students and other volunteers - all of whom have their own careers, families and daily responsibilities. The volunteer staff literally volunteers thousands of hours of service to the clinic yearly, which is a blessing, according to Quillen. However, an unstable economy has resulted in more patients relying on the health center, which in turn means more volunteers are needed.
If anyone is looking to make an impact in the lives of others, to give back to our community, here's a chance to do just that.
Good things are happening at the Jefferson County Fourth Street Health Clinic, and we hope that continues.

The Shell station on Scottsville Road in Bowling Green was robbed Sunday morning.
Police say a white man came into the store and told the cashier to "open the cash register."
The victim says the suspect took the cash and fled toward CVS Pharmacy.
Police say the robber was wearing a white bandanna around his head, a blue bandanna over his face, blue jeans, a navy blue t-shirt, and gloves.
They believe he's in his late twenties to mid-thirties and tall.
Police say no weapon was displayed or threatened.

text: If we learned anything from the Grammys last night it was that Taylor Swift had the best time and Jay-Z didn't really give a shit. But not everyone could identify with one of those two extremes. In fact, one might say emotional investment at the Grammys existed on more of a spectrum. So in between your Taylors Swifts and your Jay-Zs you had your gum-chewing Adeles and your eye-rolling Lena Dunhams. But in the words of LL Cool J, "hashtag the Grammys hashtag equals hashtag music" and music brings people together. So despite the very different levels of enjoyment, at least everyone kind-of-sort-of danced to Bruno Mars last night.

If you're using mysql server with SSL, and ever encountered this error whenever you try to access the database after it's running:
ERROR 2026 (HY000): SSL connection error
One thing to check is if your client certificate and server certificate have the same common name. You've probably went through the certificate generation procedure, and (like I did) just entered the same common name for both without noticing.
This is a nasty error message that doesn't tell you anything, and there's nothing in the error log to imply what went wrong. So remember – when generating your own certificates for a mysql server, use different common names for client and server!

Flavorful and hearty soup with lots of fresh veggies.
Broccoli-Cheese Chowder
From EatingWell: Winter 2004, The EatingWell Diabetes Cookbook (2005)
This satisfying remake of broccoli chowder benefits from the creamy texture of cooked potatoes and smooth, tangy reduced-fat sour cream instead of getting its richness from as much as a cup each of cream and cheese. Not only is the flavor vibrant, but a single serving gives you over half of the daily recommendation for vitamin C.
95 Reviews for Broccoli-Cheese Chowder
This is one of the tastiest soups I've ever made. I used to make a broccoli soup in the microwave that was great but this one is even better. I followed this recipe exactly except: I omitted the celery, used full-fat cheddar cheese, and used fat-free sour cream. Also, I pureed most of the soup with an immersion blender instead of mashing it. Cooking the ingredients didn't take as long as indicated.
In the mood for cream of broccoli soup I stumbled upon this recipe. I wanted a healthy version and thought it might need something more. I used 3 1/4 cps of organic chicken broth, 1 1/2 cups of almond milk. I did not have the other spices listed so, I added a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, fresh black pepper, 1 tb dried parsley, 1 tb dried oregano, 1 tb corn starch and salt as needed (about 1 tsp). I used my immersion blender to blend most of the ingredients. I also had no cheddar and used 1 cup of jarlsberg. What can I say...delish!! I regret not making a larger batch :). Enjoy!
Just wanted to add that I prepared this chowder with sweet potato and Greek yogurt. It turned out greater than great!

Is it possible within the limits of the X.509 specification to mark an intermediate CA as trusted for a specific purpose, e.g. to verify a VPN, HTTPS etc. server key, just like it would work with a root CA?
My VPN client(s) all have a way to explicitly provide a trusted CA certificate, which is used to verify the VPN server's authenticity. As long as I provide the root CA certificate, this works as expected - the certificate is trusted. (The intermediate certs are provided as part of the TLS handshake.)
However, I'm using an intermediate CA, and would very much like to provide that certificate, instead of the root CA. In my understanding of X.509, that should work:
The VPN server's key is signed by the intermediate CA, and as far as I understand X.509, that's all that is required to establish a trusted chain.
But in practice, it doesn't work: My VPN client doesn't connect.
In addition to VPN, I've tried this with 802.1X/EAPOL authentification, and multiple clients - with the same results: providing the root CA cert to the client works; providing my intermediate CA cert doesn't.
Is that by design, or is it just how most implementations work?
(I use a TLS based VPN, but as I've also tried it with 802.1X and TTLS, it seems to be related to TLS or X.509, and not to my specific VPN client/server architecture.)
Update: I've fond an OpenSSL commit that implements adding non-self-signed CA certificates as trust anchors. Unfortunately, this is not yet included in any release version, so all the proposed workarounds in the comments still apply.

RDF has advantages for integration of data, but in the end it is much more convenient to work with simple record structures and many developers prefer simple serialization formats such as CSV, JSON, and INI-Files. Here I don't want to discuss about the reason, but about how do best map RDF to this formats. I don't refer to serialization forms like RDF/JSON but to simple, domain specific, ad-hoc data structures. For instance I'd want a JSON structure like the following (please don't argue whether this structure is good or bad, it is just given as requirement):
Or I just want a CSV list of people with name, homepage, and age, etc. The general answer would be "SPARQL with some additional post-processing", but I want to manage mappings in a simple, readable form. The best I could find was using a scripting language and a simple API to access RDF like this pseudo-Perl script:
However I do not want to stick to a specific Turing-complete scripting language. Before inventing my own RDF-Mapping language I'd like to know whether there already are good solutions. Maybe the mapping could even be stored in form of RDF, so I could write it down in Turtle?

JSON-LD is a serious contender to become a standard to serialize RDF into JSON. Related to other text formats such as CSV or INI, I personally use template-based approach.

Shame on you, Sen. Feinstein Last week, the U.S. Senate defeated a proposal pushed by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., that would have banned the manufacture, sale and possession of 157 military-style assault weapons. Before the legislation was defeated, Sen. Feinstein had opposed an amendment that would have exempted military veterans' from the legislation's terms. Her reasoning? Veterans could have post-traumatic stress disorder, and as such, none of them should be able to have these weapons. Sen. Feinstein's stance epitomized liberals' reaction to the Dec. 14 Newtown shootings. They don't grasp that each potential gun buyer is unique, and the facts of his or her case should determine how it is handled. Sen. Feinstein's logic is arrogant and condescending, and she owes the brave veterans an apology.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz opened the International Islamic Conference for Dialogue in Makkah today.
In his remarks, King Abdullah highlighted the importance of interfaith dialogue, particularly at a time when the Muslim nation is combating extremism.
"We are the voice of justice and human moral values, and we are the voice of rational and just coexistence and dialogue," he said.
"How great this nation is, how difficult the challenges it faces in a time where its enemies – extremists from its sons and others – join forces to change its fair approach. They are gathered with blatant aggressiveness to target the tolerance, justice and noble purposes of Islam."
In March, King Abdullah called for a meeting of monotheistic religions in order to solve the pressing problems facing humanity.
Nearly 500 delegates from 50 different countries are attending the three-day conference, which addresses the role of dialogue in the promotion of peace among nations. It is being organized by the Makkah-based Muslim World League (MWL).
Notable attendees include Makkah Governor Prince Khalid Al-Faisal, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia and Chairman of the Senior Ulema (Religious Scholars) Sheikh Abdulaziz Al-Ashaikh, the Mufti of Al-Azhar Dr. Mohammed Sayed Tantawi, the Chairman of Iran's Expediency Council Ali Akbar Rafsanjani and MWL Secretary-General Abdullah Al-Turki.

"So glad I bought these"
By Svelte Cat from New Hampshire
I only wish I had replaced my old shades sooner. Every time I raise and lower my new Blinds Galore shades, they function easily and flawlessly. I had put up with old dirty shades that didnt lower or stay level at the top. These shades look great both for the quality of light passing through them and for the color of the fabric you see. The prices were better than what I could get at the local box store. Measuring and installing were both easy. I was nervous to the the dimensions right but they have good instructions.View this product
"Great Product!"

These blinds were of equal quality to those being sold locally for over $250 more. And they were super easy to install! I'm a big fan! Thanks for the super product.View this product

Why do people leave Eretz Yisroel to go to Uman for Rosh Hashanah? (It seems to me like leaving America for July Fourth.) In general what is the reason people go: is it Just a festival in the Woodstock sense (as the Israeli Media seems to make it out to be)? Also, why is it that there are no women allowed? Finally, if it is religious, than why do so many irreligious people go there?

Breslever chasidim leave E"Y to be by our rebbe at Rosh Hashana because he said to come, end of story. Not all Breslevers go - one of the great leaders of Breslev today, R' Elazar Kenig shlita, hosts a gathering in Meron for those who are unable to go. There is no specific issur in Uman. The issues of kivrei tzadikim and leaving E"Y in general are complex and probably should be asked as separate questions.
It is more than a festival, even if some make it out to be that. Bli neder when I am at home I will add here some of what Reb Noson z'l writes about being in Uman for R"H. Rebbe Nachman zy'a himself felt that encouraging Jews to come to the burial places of the thousands of victims of the Chmielnitzky massacres was very important.
Women used to go at R"H, although never in great numbers. As the number of male attendees has increased, Breslev leaders have urged women not to come out of tznius concerns. There is a larger women's gathering at Purim. As for secular Israelis and even Jews who are not chasidim of Rebbe Nachman in general, see my comment to Gershon Gold's answer.
Those that go to Uman - go because they believe that Rabbi Nachman promised that if you come and pray at his grave on Rosh HaShana he will make sure that you have a good year. Many Rabanim are against this (Harav Ovadia Yosef amongst them). Woman do not go on Rosh HaShana both for Tznius and practical reasons (someone has to take care of the family). Regarding the irreligious that go there - I guess there must be some sort of spiritual pull that is calling them there.
The Rebbe did not state that anyone who comes to his grave and prays will be granted a good year. He made a promise that anyone who travels to his grave, recites the Tikkun K'lali, donates at least a couple pennies to charity in his name, and, perhaps most importantly, take it upon himeself to leave his errant and foolish ways, then the Rebbe will do everything he can to save this person, even travel through the fires of gehinnom and pull the out by their payess if needs be. As per traveling to Uman on Rosh Hashanah, the Rebbe said that "Rosh Hashanah is go rmein zach" Rosh Hashanah is my whole thing. In Chayei Moharan, Reb Nosson writes about one R"H near the end of the Rebbe's life, there was one chossid who desperately wanted to be with the Rebbe for R"H, but the Rebbe told him he had to go home. On R"H, the Rebbe explained to others there, that as painful as it was for this chossid not to be there, it was all the more painful for the Rebbe not to have him there.
I'm not aware that the Rebbe really encouraged his followers to go to his kever on Rosh HaShanna. This custom probably began when Rebbe Nachman's chassidim started visiting Uman after his petira. They continued to go there for the same reasons that other Chassidim like to be by their Rebbes.
As stated by others, the Rebbe himself stated that he would go to the end of the earth and pull a person out of gehenom if they would travel to Uman, recite the Tikkun Klali by his kever, give Tzezaaka and do teshuva.
It says very clearly in the zohar that there is no issur of speaking to a dead tzadik auviously it must be a real tzadik wich he undoubtedly was. if a breslover didnt go on rh that would be a lack of emuna in the words of the tremendous tzadik.

How do I make sure the crust of a baguette, etc. turns out a nice golden-brown when baking?
The trick is steam and high heat.
Depending on how even your oven is browning the crust you may need to turn the pan at the spray intervals.
A light brush with an egg wash will give you a nice color to your bread every time.
Crack one egg into a bowl and add about ½ teaspoon of water. Wisk the egg well. After your dough is formed and ready for the oven, brush a light coating of the egg wash onto the dough and put it in the oven. After that, cook as you normally would.
Another thing you can try is to use a recipe with a little sugar in it. That will also help brown the crust as the sugar on the exterior of the dough will caramelize and give a nice color.
I also agree with the other recommendations of cooking with some steam in the oven. I do that every time I
Another possible method is to bake the bread in an oven-proof pot with the lid on, which will help to keep the steam in. This is essentially the method I use in baking no-knead bread, which uses a dutch oven. I bake the dough for 30 mins with the lid on and 15 mins more with the lid off. The result is crusty brown bread.
I use an easy technique ... i mix together an egg wash with melted butter, shove it in a spritzer (a spraying machine) and spray the bread about 5 minutes before it's done. I then switch the heat to broiler for 5 minutes, ..... voila!
The technique I use is a slight modification of the one Peter Reinhart describes in The Bread Baker's Apprentice (a must-have for any serious home baker, in my opinion). I put a heavy-duty commercial half-sheet pan on the bottom of my gas oven and a baking stone on a middle rack, preheat it to 500°F and boil some water. Then, when the bread goes on the stone, I pour a cup or so of boiling water into the pan and close the door. This is a great way to get steam burns, so be careful. Reinhart says to open the oven and spray the walls with water a few times at 30-second intervals, but I've never found that makes a huge difference.
Use a dedicated sheet pan for this, as after a few loaves it'll look like it was run over by a truck. I've also heard of using a cast iron skillet in the same role.
I find that since I've started baking my bread straight on a baking stone, the crust is much crunchier and thicker. I preheat to the maximum allowed by the oven (250 C), drop some ice cubes on the oven floor, slide the loaf of bread in and reduce the heat to 200 C, then bake for ~40 minutes.
Here's what I did today to get a browned crust:
I added a cube of ice to the beaten egg (instead of 1/2 teaspoon water suggested by Al Crowley) and sprinkled a pinch of saffron on the ice cube (it shouldn't go inside the whisked eggs), then after a few minutes the ice cube melted and made a really nice orangish red color.
There you go:
Another point is, you must bake your breads in a very high temperature, that's the point of getting golden brown crust.
In addition to the other techniques mentioned, diastatic malt will produce more free sugars to undergo browning reaction. The result is a slightly sweeter, more flavorful bread and a more browned crust.
Suggested amount: 1 tsp (5 mL) diastatic malt per pound/450g flour.
I also mix egg wash with milk in order to get a golden brown.

Lelise Gobena
Right at Home
Bay Area native Lelise Gobena '13 admits that living on the East Coast took some getting used to at first. But after only a few weeks on campus, the University of Southern California graduate had joined a number of student groups that helped ease the transition. One that stands out as particularly supportive, Gobena says, was Columbia Law School's student-run California Society, which sponsors panel discussions, career fairs, social gatherings, and other events geared toward those with links to the West Coast.
"I found a wonderful community of people," Gobena says. "It was nice to have an organization that brought us together socially, and it allows students to stay connected to West Coast firms and resources."
In her second year at the Law School, Gobena served as the California Society's co-president and became a mentor to incoming students from the West Coast. At the same time, she also began to put down some roots in New York City. Gobena pursued legal internships with both the New-York Historical Society and the National State Attorneys General Program in Manhattan. In the fall semester of her second year, she worked as an intellectual property law intern at Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy in Midtown. It was not until this past year that Gobena returned to California—to work as a summer associate in the Los Angeles office of Manatt, Phelps & Phillips.
"New York has become the baseline I compare all other cities to," Gobena says, noting that she will join Manatt after graduation and has requested to be placed in the Manhattan office. "I've really found a home here."

When the space shuttle Atlantis lifted off for its journey to the International Space Station in 2009, it had on board two butterfly habitats, which were part of an experiment conducted by CU-Boulder and K–12 students across the country.
BioServe Space Technologies in CU-Boulder's aerospace engineering department designed the payload that carried monarch and painted lady butterfly larvae and food and nectar to the International Space Station. The butterflies were monitored and compared with butterfly habitats raised in classrooms across the country. The goal was to compare the development of the butterflies in a weightless environment with butterflies being raised simultaneously on Earth.
Participating classrooms, including schools in Denver and Jefferson County, received kits containing butterfly habitats. Photos of the larvae were taken every 15 minutes and sent from the International Space Station to Earth. The photos were uploaded to a website where students could monitor them. Students compared differences in growth rates, feeding, pupation, and the time it takes for larvae to emerge as butterflies.
In addition to the 100 or so schools that participated with official kits, hundreds more raised their own butterfly habitats and participated informally. The butterflies were supplied by Monarch Watch, a research group at the University of Kansas, and Gulf Coast Butterflies in Florida.
Dubbed "Butterflies in Space," the project is the fourth K–12 educational experiment to be flown by CU-Boulder on the International Space Station.
"One of the most exciting things about this project is that we can use the International Space Station to bring spaceflight experiments into classrooms around the country," said BioServe director Louis Stodieck, principal investigator on the project. "Our continuing goal is to inspire K–12 students around the country in science, technology, engineering and math."

All of the pages on my site are dynamically created via cgi scripts. Because of this I found that writing a custom perl script to query the database, build the dynamic pages, and then pass the output along to swish for indexing was the best way to go. Not to mention that it was also several orders of magnitude faster than trying to spider 2 million+ records. Swish-e has great documentation for this. Try this link: http://swish-e.org/docs/swish-config.html#directives_for_the_prog_access_method_only Of course you'll need to know some sort of programming language, but after you get a working program you could run swish-e in a manner similar to this: /usr/local/bin/swish-e -S prog -i /path/to/your/custom/script -c /path/to/swish.conf I also use only the most basic swish.conf file because you have so much more control of things when you use your own script. Of course, one of the nice things about swish-e is that you can do the same thing several different ways... You could probably use your existing php scripts (the ones that generate your dynamic pages) and just write a simple go between script. I did that at first for my site with a simple 2 line perl script. Once you get a working system then you'll need to get it going faster. I used speedyCGI to increase my speed from 12 minutes for 1500 records to 45 seconds for the same records. Now I do all 2 million+ records in about 10 hours and I'm still making it faster :-) Good luck, DaveReceived on Sat Nov 5 07:45:09 2005

Allergies Health Center
Bullied Over Food Allergies
March 9, 2012 (Orlando, Fla.) -- Parents of kids with food allergies should be aware that their children may be teased or harassed because of their condition, experts say.
Some bullies even chase kids with the allergy-producing food or throw it in their faces, says A. Erika Morris, MD, of the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.
She headed one of two surveys that showed that about 1 in 3 food-allergic kids is taunted or physically abused at school due to their allergies.
That figure is "only a little out of proportion" to the number of children overall who are teased or bullied by their classmates for everything from their weight to their hairstyle, says Todd Mahr, MD.
Mahr, director of pediatric allergy/immunology at the Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center in La Crosse, Wis., and chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics' allergy & immunology section, reviewed the findings for WebMD.
"But it's something most parents -- and a lot of us who take care of food-allergic kids -- don't think about," he says.
Indeed, one of the surveys showed that 32% of parents of kids harassed about their food allergies were unaware of it.
Not surprisingly, classmates and siblings most often did the bullying, both surveys showed. But in a few cases, teachers or other adults were to blame.
The surveys were presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.
Bullying, Food Allergies on Rise
The findings come at a time when both bullying and food allergies in kids are on the rise. In 2007, about 1 in 3 middle school and high school students reported having been verbally or physically abused at school, an increase of 17% since 2001. Nearly 4% of children reported food allergies in 2007, an increase of 18% since 1997.
Morris and colleagues administered a 16-question survey to 32 food-allergic children or their parents in the Jackson, Miss., area; 81% were aged 5 to 11 years. Most were allergic to peanuts or eggs.
Results showed that 11 children, or 34%, had been bullied: Ten of the cases involved verbal teasing and six involved physical abuse, including being pushed, tripped, hit, or struck by the offending food.

I have a curve interpolation problem.
I have two closed curves that are defined on an X,Y plane. How can I define a 3rd curve that is the average of those two? Programmatically, I have a list of points for each curve, let's say N1 for curve 1 and N2 for curve 2, where N1 != N2 (most likely).
When I say 'average', initially, I would like the contribution of each curve to the final curve to be identical. Eventually, I would like to be able to weight the contributions of each curve (i.e., have my interpolated curve be 'closer' to one curve than another).
How can I go about doing this?
In a 1D case, I believe that the problem is somewhat easier, like I could solve it using some kind of projection (although my linear algebra is really rusty at this point). Is that intuition somewhat correct, and therefore can be extended to the 2D case?

You could hear the voices murmuring, small and muted, from the crowds that inhabited his body.
A peerless American storyteller, Ray Bradbury brings wonders alive. The Illustrated Man is classic Bradbury eighteen startling visions of humankind's destiny, unfolding across a canvas of decorated skin. In this phantasmagoric sideshow, living cities take their vengeance, technology awakens the most primal natural instincts, Martian invasions are foiled by the good life and the glad hand, and dreams are carried aloft in junkyard rockets. Provocative and powerful, Ray Bradbury's The Illustrated Man is a kaleidoscopic blending of magic, imagination, and truth as exhilarating as interplanetary travel, as maddening as a walk in a million-year rain, and as comforting as simple, familiar rituals on the last night of the world.
About the Author
In a career spanning more than seventy years, Ray Bradbury, who died on June 5, 2011 at the age of 91, inspired generations of readers to dream, think, and create. A prolific author of hundreds of short stories and close to fifty books, as well as numerous poems, essays, operas, plays, teleplays, and screenplays, Bradbury was one of the most celebrated writers of our time. His groundbreaking works include Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, Dandelion Wine, and Something Wicked This Way Comes. He wrote the screen play for John Huston's classic film adaptation of Moby Dick, and was nominated for an Academy Award. He adapted sixty-five of his stories for television's The Ray Bradbury Theater, and won an Emmy for his teleplay of The Halloween Tree. He was the recipient of the 2000 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, the 2004 National Medal of Arts, and the 2007 Pulitzer Prize Special Citation, among many honors.
Throughout his life, Bradbury liked to recount the story of meeting a carnival magician, Mr. Electrico, in 1932. At the end of his performance Electrico reached out to the twelve-year-old Bradbury, touched the boy with his sword, and commanded, "Live forever!" Bradbury later said, "I decided that was the greatest idea I had ever heard. I started writing every day. I never stopped."
