Q: Some of the characters in Private Life are based in part on members of your own family--your main character Margaret Mayfield on your great aunt, Frances See and Andrew Early on her infamous scientist husband Thomas Jefferson Jackson See, a naval astronomer whose increasingly implausible theories made him an outcast in the scientific community. Did you ever meet them?
A: I didn't know my aunt at all, or her husband. She died when I was about two or three. She was my grandfather's much older sister--he was the youngest of ten children and she was number two or three. But my mother and her siblings were quite fond of her. As for her husband, they thought he was just an eccentric family uncle, and I don't think they realized how infamous he was in the physics establishment.
Q: How much of Margaret and Andrew draw from your aunt and uncle's actual experience and how much is purely fictional?
A: There were only a few family stories that revealed personal details about them--for example that she drove an elderly Franklin and had a good sense of humor. My mother had visited her in the nineteen-forties, I think, and she remembered that my aunt loved Oriental art (a trait she shares with my character Margaret Mayfield). But almost everything else about Margaret is made up. I could not seem to get her sense of humor into the novel--the material was just too dark for me. My uncle is more famous, and there were plenty of stories about him--almost all of them revealing him as appallingly egomaniacal and obsessed. There was an article about him in a physics journal which described him, essentially, as the kind of scientist you were not supposed to be.
The important thing to remember is that Margaret and Andrew take some of their inspiration from these real people, but the story about them--that is, the plot of the novel--is entirely made up by me. All of the other characters and all of the events of the novel are fictional. For me, the center of the idea was in wondering what it would be like to be married to someone like Andrew, but there was no family evidence to say how my great-aunt felt about it. Just as one example, I had to prune both Margaret's and Andrew's family trees--both had countless brothers and sisters that would overwhelm a 300-page novel. I also had to concoct a fascinating mother for Andrew--but Mrs. Early is a theory on my part, not a portrait of anyone related to Thomas Jefferson Jackson See. While I was working on the novel, I thought of Henry James, and his fear of "developments"--that the inspiring material would proliferate and get out of control. I was also interested in the idea of Missouri and St. Louis at the end of the 19th century, after the Civil War and around the time of the World's Fair. St. Louis is a beautiful but strange city. Because of climate and epidemics of disease, in the mid-19th century, it was considered one of the worst places in the U.S. to live, but it was actually very cosmopolitan and self-satisfied, with beautiful architecture and thriving commerce. Right in the center of things for some decades.
Q: Did you have to do any research into their lives? Into the science and astronomy that Andrew studies? Or the historical events this novel spans?
A: I visited their house in Vallejo and also Mare Island, where the U.S. Navy had a base and a ship-building yard from about 1850 through the Second World War, twice, and I also read about See. His Moon Capture theory was included in a book about the moon that was published a few years ago. He is a presence on the Web, but he is still considered too "Newtonian" to be respected for anything. The scandals in Dr. Andrew Early's life are somewhat similar to the scandals in Dr. See's life. The key for me was in trying to see things through his point of view--to make a logic system that made sense to him even though it didn't make sense to anyone else. I think that it is easy for a novelist to understand a conspiracy theorist--the story gets bigger and bigger, and it all just fits together in one's mind. The person creating the story simply cannot understand why it doesn't make sense to others. I think the most telling article for me was a piece See published in the San Francisco Examiner called "The Ether Exists and I Have Seen It." The article was from about 1925, and included six-pointed figures See had drawn. Even to an English major like me, this was absurd. However, I think that if he were still alive, he would insist that he had predicted the discovery of Dark Matter.
Q: Andrew has all sorts of paranoid theories but he has a particular obsession with Albert Einstein who he believes is a fraud and also believes has come to California to spy on him (and on America). Why is he so fixated on Einstein?
A: I think if someone feels himself to be a great genius, then he is ready to joust with the one whom he considers his most dangerous rival. No one in Andrew's life considers Andrew and Einstein to be on a par--except, of course, for Andrew. He becomes fixated on Einstein because he simply cannot accept Einstein's ideas and can't figure out how to stop them. He sees himself as a Lone Ranger type, preserving the truth from the encroachments of idiocy. There are so many novels and non-fiction works about geniuses who were right in the end. But what if the genius is not right in the end? There are more of those and Andrew is in that camp for certain.
Q: You have described this novel as "A parable of American life." What do you mean by that?
A: Andrew is a famous man and a genius. His town is proud to have produced him, and he is very conscious of his Americanness--he is the new man from the new world in the new century. And then he isn't. But he never loses that sense of entitlement. Margaret seems to me like many well-meaning Americans who are caught up in the schemes of our more grandiose and overbearing citizens. What are they doing? How should we feel about it? Should we stop them? Can we stop them? If we can't stop them, then what? When the people around you consider themselves visionaries, then you are in part responsible for their actions. That's what I mean by her marriage being a parable of American life.
Q: You open the novel with the following quote from Rose Wilder Lane, "In those days all stories ended with the wedding." Why this quote?
A: Rose Wilder Lane wrote a book about growing up in 19th century Missouri called Old Home Town. She was an interesting woman in many ways--she was the daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder, and a very busy, well traveled, and prolific newspaperwoman, beginning in about 1900. Some people think that she ghost-wrote the Little House series--if not, then she certainly helped write it. She later became a libertarian, and one of the originators of modern Libertarianism. If you look at her picture, she has a plain but interesting face. I used her as the inspiration for the character of Dora and adopted her into the rich side of my St. Louis family, and set her up in a house by Forest Park, and sent her to Europe. I am very fond of Dora, and I think she represents a certain type of liberated woman of her day.
The essential question of the book, I think, is "what does marriage mean?" In those days, the choices were pretty stark, and so there are several different marriages in the novel. Margaret's sisters are desirable--Beatrice because she has a claim to a large property and Elizabeth because she is young and charming and has good connections. Dora and Margaret are less desirable, and so the one has a subtly arranged marriage, and the other takes advantage of Progressivism to not get married at all. But the previous generation suffers, too--Dora's mother is held in contempt by her husband and Margaret's mother is widowed early and suffers considerable hardship both married and as a widow. So the real theme of the novel is marriage--who do you marry, how is the marriage to be lived through, what does it feel like to, more or less, place a bet and then live with the consequences?
Actually, most women's stories begin with the wedding, but that's not the story most novels that Margaret might have been reading addressed. Even now, the novels that continue to be most beloved, like Pride and Prejudice, end with the wedding. For Margaret, reading does not offer her a way to think about her life as it changes or the problems that the 20th century presents. I don't think these issues have disappeared, either. Marriage is more of a choice now, but the issue of how do you co-exist for a long time with someone who may be very idiosyncratic is still a big one.

Both the prologue and epilogue are set in 1942, but the majority of the novel's action occurs during the period between 1883 and that date. In order to appreciate the plot, one must keep in mind the status of women during those years. Margaret Mayfield, the daughter of a doctor who committed suicide, is his oldest surviving child; her two sisters are more beautiful and considered more marriageable than she. Margaret is a bookish, but not brilliant; personable, but lacking a dynamic personality. Lavinia Mayfield, Margaret's mother, daughter of John Gentry a Missouri farmer, is ever mindful of the advantages of a "good marriage." Dr. Andrew Jackson Jefferson Early, a Navy Captain and PhD, and Montgomery County's (MO) most famous son fits the bill. Margaret, conforming to the dictates of societal norms, accepts his marriage proposal. Following their marriage, the two move to Mare Island Naval Shipyard in California where Captain Early is in charge of a small observatory.Read more ›
We have here a very accurate, insightful portrait of what it must have been like to be a smart, but otherwise traditional woman in middle America at the turn of the last century--not a superstar--just smart enough, but not unusually assertive for her time--just a typically socialized example. She marries a mad, abrasive, pompous fool of a professor who many of us will recognize--the sort of flawed genius who burns bridges and offends wherever he goes. It is a delicious pleasure for the modern reader to see both how nutty he was, and how prescient. Smiley knows her academic whack jobs, for sure! Other perfectly historically accurate references are made, such as to the medicinal properties of hemp, that we will smirk at today.
Jane Smiley has given a voice to the overlooked, mousey "sainted wife." Brava!
"Private" refers to that which belongs to one's self; something that is not expressed openly but is recognized by the person. This book was less about private life and more about repressed memories, hopes, anger and the dynamics that foster denial. Margaret attempted to move beyond the traditions and expectations of her family and society but lacked the confidence or the support to make much headway. The reader has far more understanding of Margaret's inner life than she does, revealed in her response to Alexander's death, the family of coots, the process of learning to drive, her appreciation of Japanese art, the demands of her increasingly obsessive husband and the absence of a socially acceptable means of making sense of the world. Smiley's theme of women struggling to escape the trap of social convention is reminiscent of Kate Chopin's writing (one of the historical characters appearing in this novel) but while she addresses a similar feminist theme, Chopin's work is far more satisfying. The bleak wordiness of the book creates a sense of suffocating tedium and simmering bitterness, as well as making it rather tiresome. Not an exciting page turner, not enjoyable, but adequately thought provoking.

This train table is superb! My 3yr old just loves the thing. It is a solid table and is very durable. The fact that it converts to craft table is great. I was shocked that it only cost $45bucks! It comes with a cool 3car train that uses 1AA battery to go around the whole track. He puts all of his HotWheels cars on the track most of the time because it is compatible with most major brands of cars and trains. I've seen train tables for well over $100, but for what; I mean, if you have the money, by all means, but for the consumer conscience, this is a GREAT table at GREAT price, with GREAT Site-to-Store shipping. PS- There is some insertion of screws to hold together the table legs to the table that would be a bit tedious with just a regular screwdriver. I used a power drill and it worked out great. Definite time saver.
Purchased for my son's 2nd birthday. easy to put together. I did put up many of the sign because they ended up all over the floor. My son climbs into it to play and ends up taking out the bridge and station. He actually has been playing more with a the Mega Blocks Tiny and Tough Build it race track I got him then the train table.
This is a great toy I recommend it for 1 1/2 years. The sooner the age the more you'll get from the toy.
I purchased this toy online on july10 (sat) for my son's bday on july 14 (wed). I thought it wouldn't arrive on his bday, (i miscalculated the day i should order) but to my surprise, it arrived just in time. My son is so happy with this toy. I didn't bother to put the screws and it is still sturdy, he does often climb onto it. It can accomodate thomas trains and other wooden trains(ikea).
I bought this for my son for his 2nd birthday, and I COULD NOT be happier! He isn't into trains, just cars, so the typical train table didn't work. This is perfect because all of his matchbox and hot wheels cars fit on the track, and I don't have to put the tracks together a million times a day! He LOVES it and plays with it for hours at a time!
Our son just opened his new train table that we bought him for his 4th birthday - and we couldn't be happier! He LOVES his train table! And we are very happy with the quality and value of this toy. The entire experience has been great - we had it shipped to our house for only $2.97! It came within two days! Set up was so easy, too! There aren't many pieces so it makes set up a snap! Perhaps what we love the most about this train table is the battery operated train! My 4 year old just can't get enough of watching that thing go around the tracks! I think we may need to purchase a second one just so our 3 year old can get a chance to play! Even our 6 year old seems really interested in playing with it! Overall, this is a great product and great value. No wooden pieces to put together or come undone or find all over your house! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a really fun train table for a small child and a small price!! GREAT VALUE!!
My preschool class is enjoying their new Step 2 action train table. It appears to be durable enough for four classes of 60 children to enjoy. My only complaint with the manufacturer is they failed to design it deep enough so you don't have to remove the train station and bridge every time to replace the lid when you are finished playing. I think continued pulling on the bridge to remove it will evenually damage it. We also struggle with finding a place for the train station and bridge to lay horizontally so the lid will fit. A deeper design would have alleviated these two problems.
I purchased this table as a Christmas present for my son.I did so after looking at more expenseive wooden train table sets. This table took less than 30 minutes to put together. All the pieces were there. The table looked great. My son was so excited when he saw the table, and he has played with it for hours. He can use his hot wheels on this table, and the tracks are molded to the table so they don't come apart. It has a flat cover that goes on it, so that the kids can use it as a table to color, etc. However, he is too busy using the trains for us to try out that feature. I would recommend highly!
My soon to be four year old and I sat down and looked at all the trains sets online and he picked this one because of the bridge and station. When we got it he was so excited! it was easy to put together, although the holes were not pre drilled. He plays with it every day. his cars and thomas trains fit right on the tracks. My 8 year old daughter and her friends play with it too! its not too big, will fit under the bed if you dont put the legs on. Its sturdy, he likes to sit in it. Great product!
My 2 1/2 year old got this train table for Christmas, and hasn't stopped playing with it! He's a pretty rough kid, so we really like the fact that the track is built into the table. It also fits his Matchbox cars, so we race those around the track too! The cover is very sturdy (he's, of course, been standing on it!) And we love the little train that comes with it. It has been a great purchase - well worth the $50!
This was a gift for my godson Angel and he absolutely loves it. My sister, his grandma, put it together, although she did need a drill to make holes to screw the legs in. Angel said it's just like the one he plays with at the library. What I liked the most is that it came with a cover which turns it into a table. The idea of making it multi-functioning is brilliant.
one of the legs arrived cracked, i still have to call step 2 to see if they will replace it for me. other than that my 2 yr old loves it. he played w it so much the first day the battery died in the train. he also loves to sit in it.
My daughter loves this train table. We gave it to her for her second birthday and she has played with it every day.
- Accepts Thomas Take Along Trains (not Trackmaster or Wooden Railway), Brio, Matchbox, and Disney Cars Mini
- Track does not fall apart--only removable items are the station and the bridge
- Top works as a table
- 1/2 the price of other tables
- Included train goes by itself and usually stays on track
- Has a lever to stop the train--it stops it in the right spot to load logs onto the train
- She enjoys loading the logs
- Train can be played with on the floor... It goes all the way across the floor and keeps going until it hits something (then the wheels keep spinning but it doesn't go)
- Large enough for multiple children to play
- Comes with accessories (trees and signs)
- Sturdy (didn't collapse when I caught my 2 year old standing in it) Cons:
- There is only one path to take on the track... no choices of path to take.
- Disney Cars die cast cars made by Mattel don't fit (they are too wide)... bought mini Cars instead and most of those fit (Wingo is too wide)
- The train uses one AA battery, but it doesn't last more than a week at our house. I started using rechargables so it doesn't matter....
- Station and bridge have to be removed to put the top on
- Included forklift is too wide to drive on the track Overall, we are very happy with this table. I recommended it to my friend and her son will be getting his own for his birthday.
We ordered this with the site to store delivery to our local store for my son's second birthday. We gave it to him a week early because we were so excited to set it up. It was very easy to set up and my son absolutely loved it. When I told everyone about it and how much he loved it they all bought him matchbox cars and accessories to go with it. It has been a huge hit here, we have tried to put the cover on it but he gets upset because at night he wants to see it. All of my nephews loved it and have asked for one for CHristmas as well as my mom who wants to get one for her house for the kids to play with. Great product, great value, highly recommend.
I got the train for my three year old grandson. He loved it.
Easy to put together.
This table is a WAY better deal than the Canyon Deluxe table. They are basically just the same thing...this one is a tiny bit smaller BUT it comes with a moving train! My boys love it. The first day they played with it for HOURS. The novelty has wore off now, but they still love it. Great toy.
I bought this train table on clearance for $15 dollars as an early christmas gift for my then 13 month old son. It was awsome in the begining b/c it was something for him to cruise around right before he started walking. Now he is 19 months old and LOVES the train table!! He plays with it daily and likes to climb on top of it for a better view ;) My only complaints were that my son kept taking the bridge off and part of the bridge broke but we super glued it to the table and fixed it and we glued the train station to the table as well. We don't have any problems with it now. Make sure ( as with almost all Step2 products) have a pwer drill handy to put it together, other then that, wonderful product. Grandpa loves it almost as much as my son! i see this being lots of fun for some time b/c as soon as he tires of the trains then we will get him hot wheel cars to play with on it. I LOVE Step2 products and have several of them for my son.
I'm glad I picked this over the Deluxe Canyon Road Train and Track Table. At least for my kids who are both under 3, I felt that this is more suitable for them as their 1st train table. I love the fact I don't have to worry about fixing some removable tracks. And that it comes with a battery operated train. My sons loves it. He uses outside of the table too. We haven't try putting any other kind of cars on the track yet. Love the fact that I can use it as a craft table as well. Crayon marks wipe off easily. My only complain to this would be I wish they had packed it better. The top of the table board got chipped significantly as I first opened it. It's big enough that you'll notice it, but not big enough to really interfere with its function. Plus, I really didn't want to deal with the hassle of returning at Walmart and waiting for another one to come in.
This was cheaper to buy from Walmart than through the Step 2 website. It didn't come with the scenery stickers but a call to the Step 2 people got them delivered in less than a week.
My son is enjoying it completely. He's 20 months now. He likes putting different cars and trains in to see which fit good.
The only thing I didn't like about it was the cover. Its not water-proof. I won't be giving my son wet or sticky foods to eat or drink on it. Dry snacks only.
Santa brought this for my son this year. A few things to point out about this table: The bridge and "loading station" are a little difficult to snap into place. The bridge is too easy to pull off which my 2 year old son does and then needs me to put it back on for him... over and over again. The loading station goes down enough that the train will ride over it but if you activate the switch to stop it so it can be loaded then it stops it a little too soon. My son hasn't yet gotten the hang of nudging it forward a little to load it but I'm sure he will. It IS the perfect height for a 2 year old. Also, I saw where someone else said that the forklift that comes with the set doesn't fit on the track/road which is true. However, most matchbox cars fit which is great. It would've been nice if you could fit the tabletop cover on without having to remove the bridge and loading station. It does come with a lot of extras (trees, signs, etc) Overall, my son likes to play with it; especially to load the logs onto the train. The price made it the right first train table for my 2 year old!
This is one of the best purchases I have made so far for my son! We bought it for his 2nd birthday almost a month ago and he has played with it almost everyday and he plays with it for long periods of time. I went ahead and bought the motorized Thomas and other lights and sounds Thomas Friends when I bought the table. It comes with a train but only one. Having the extra trains is nice. The motorized Thomas tips over occasionally on one of the turns but if one of the trains are connected it does fine. I haven't put the top on it yet, my son won't let me. Also, he received lots of matchbox cars for his birthday and he plays with them on it sometimes. He's not as excited about playing with the cars on it but it gives him another option to play with on the table. Some of the reviews were mixed and the price was so low I was hesitant to buy it but don't be. It was a great buy!!!!

Among Oracle's latest round of patches last month were eight flaws in its JD Edwards enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications -- underscoring how ERP apps are often forgotten when it comes to security, overshadowed by database flaws and other worries.
The JDE application flaws might represent only a small fraction of the 78 total bugs fixed in the update, but they demonstrate a growing concern among security experts of an emerging prime attack vector. Most enterprises don't consider their ERP apps as a big target for attackers, and assume segregation of duties is enough security for them.
ERP systems, which are tied in with a database platform and often contain multiple interfaces to other apps, run sensitive business processes, such as financial, sales, production, expenditures, billing, and payroll, so any such targeted attacks would be damaging financially and production-wise, experts say.
"They are becoming targets because attackers are realizing that they are not longer a black box, and that they contain the most sensitive business information. So if you are a cybercriminal, why would you attack a regular Windows server if you can just take over the systems containing the company's most valuable data?" says Mariano Nunez Di Croce, director of research and development for Onapsis, whose firm discovered the JDE flaws patched by Oracle as well as an additional 12 other flaws that the database giant has not yet fixed.
Nunez Di Croce says companies think that by specifying segregation of duties among users of these apps, they are protecting them from a breach. "However, almost none of them realize that they need to secure the technological components of these platforms, which can lead remote, anonymous attackers to break into the systems and invalidate all the existing investments into securing them," he says.
The flaws Onapsis researcher Juan Pablo Perez Etchegoyen found speak to that problem: All of the flaws can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers. They let the bad guys take control of the JDE app remotely, grab admin passwords, perform denial-of-service attacks, and disable logging for stealthier, cyberespionage-type attacks. The bugs include buffer overflows and a remote logging deactivation flaw. "All of these vulnerabilities can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers, which illustrates the fact that the vendors never expected these situations," Nunez Di Croce says. "Instead of a legitimate component connecting to the ERP, it is an attacker who can craft the requests at his will. I think this is something the vendors have never expected in the past, and now we are just starting to [see them] pop ... up."
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?

From the Editor
Welcome to Linux Journal's kernel issue. Though it's true what Ted Ts'o says in this month's interview about the more exciting work in the Linux community happening in user space than in the kernel, there are still enough intriguing developments in the kernel to merit devoting an issue to it.
In fact, some of the most exciting recent kernel developments are covered in this month's pages. Last month we ran Rick Lehrbaum's interview with the preemptible kernel patch maintainer, Robert Love. This month Robert wrote a feature article explaining just how the patch lowers latency and how this translates to performance benefits, not only for those needing real-time efficiency, but also for regular users.
Greg Kroah-Hartman, the Linux USB and PCI Hot Plug kernel maintainer, reveals how the Linux kernel, as of 2.4.15, handles the kernel-level difficulties associated with hot-pluggable devices by way of the PCI Hot Plug driver core.
While iptables are no longer the latest in kernel development, the Netfilter code is constantly evolving, and many are still struggling with iptables building. Last year for our kernel issue David A. Bandel wrote an introductory-level article on Netfilter. He received a deluge of e-mail requesting further guidance. So to satisfy our readership, David delves into more advanced iptables building. Look for a further sequel to David's article in next month's Kernel Korner.
Continuing in a security vein, Michael Bacarella explains how POSIX capabilities in the Linux kernel can provide a useful middle-ground permission level that grants more liberal permissions than a standard user, but not the potentially harmful level of root.
In our last feature article, David Frascone brings us to the border of user land and the kernel by explaining the benefits of kernel module debugging with User-Mode Linux. UML provides something of a virtual machine for safer debugging.
Speaking of user land, one of the more intriguing developments there, at least for our production staff at Linux Journal, may be the Scribus Project (web2.altmuehlnet.de/fschmid/index.html). Here at Linux Journal we try to practice what we preach, and everyone from the accountant to the receptionist, to the marketing and editorial departments do their work on Linux workstations. The only thing we don't do on Linux is magazine layout. Hopefully the Scribus Project will allow us to change that.
Scribus is a GPLed layout program for Linux. It's still in its early stages of development with a team of three—two of whom do the documentation, leaving all the programming to Franz Schmid. Franz is currently working on adding new object types like curves, polygons, etc. The team's goal is to match the quality of programs such as Adobe PageMaker and QuarkXPress.
I'm sure Franz wouldn't object if someone wanted to lend a hand. He can be reached at email@example.com.
Richard Vernon is editor in chief of Linux Journal.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

The Ghost Army of World War IIby Elizabeth Sayles Rick Beyer
The Ghost Army of World War II describes a perfect example of a little-known, highly imaginative, and daring maneuver that helped open the way for the final drive to Germany. It is a riveting tale told through personal accounts and sketches along the way--ultimately, a story of success against great odds. I enjoyed it enormously. - Tom BrokawIn the summer of 1944, a handpicked group of young GIs--including such future luminaries as Bill Blass, Ellsworth Kelly, Arthur Singer, Victor Dowd, Art Kane, and Jack Masey--landed in France to conduct a secret mission. Armed with truckloads of inflatable tanks, a massive collection of sound-effects records, and more than a few tricks up their sleeves, their job was to create a traveling road show of deception on the battlefields of Europe, with the German Army as their audience.From Normandy to the Rhine, the 1,100 men of the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, known as the Ghost Army, conjured up phony convoys, phantom divisions, and make-believe headquarters to fool the enemy about the strength and location of American units. Between missions the artists filled their duffel bags with drawings and paintings and dragged them across Europe. Every move they made was top secret and their story was hushed up for decades after the war's end. The Ghost Army of World War II is the first publication to tell the full story of how a traveling road show of artists wielding imagination, paint, and bravado saved thousands of American lives.

A startlingly original voice makes her literary debut with this wondrous coming-of-age story infused with Chinese folklore, romantic intrigue, adventure, and fascinating, dreamlike twistsOne evening, my father asked me whether I would like to become a ghost bride. . . . Though ruled by British overlords, the Chinese of colonial Malaya still cling to ancient customs. And in the sleepy port town of Malacca, ghosts and superstitions abound. Li Lan, the daughter of a genteel but bankrupt family, has few prospects. But fate intervenes when she receives an unusual proposal from the wealthy and powerful Lim family. They want her to become a ghost bride for the familys only son, who recently died under mysterious circumstances. Rarely practiced, traditional ghost marriages are used to placate restless spirits. Such a union would guarantee Li Lan a home for the rest of her days, but at a terrible price. After an ominous visit to the opulent Lim mansion, Li Lan finds herself haunted not only by her ghostly would-be suitor, but also by her desire for the Lims handsome new heir, Tian Bai. Night after night, she is drawn into the shadowy parallel world of the Chinese afterlife, with its ghost cities, paper funeral offerings, vengeful spirits, and monstrous bureaucracy--including the mysterious Er Lang, a charming but unpredictable guardian spirit. Li Lan must uncover the Lim familys darkest secrets--and the truth about her own family--before she is trapped in this ghostly world forever.

Maricopa County releases tool to find lost pets
PHOENIX — Maricopa County Animal Care and Control has introduced a new service that may help owners locate lost pets: An interactive mapping tool.
"You type in your info, and the map will pop up," said Maricopa County Animal Care and Control Spokeswoman Melissa Gable. "It will have a series of dots, which represent dogs, and a series of triangles, which represent cats."
You top in either an exact address or the major cross streets in the area where you think your pet was lost. A little window will pop up with a picture of a pet that was recovered in the area, along with a description of the animal and the date that it was brought to the shelter.
The tool went online Tuesday. However, Gable said one man was reunited with his two dogs while the system was in the testing stage. When the man showed up at the shelter Saturday saying he had lost his pit bull and a husky near the intersection of 67th Avenue and Indian School, she decided to test the system. Once they typed the information on the website, a picture of one of the dogs popped up on the website. Gable and the man went back to the kennel and found both dogs.
Gable said the dogs "went ballistic" with joy when they saw their owner.
The county believes the tool is the first of its kind to be introduced.

UC Santa Barbara's first step toward what it hopes will be a home assignment for the NCAA Division I men's College Cup final four was more difficult than expected -- and far easier than imagined.
The Gauchos (14-4-3) dictated every phase of its first-round match Thursday night with visiting Denver, but they needed an overtime goal to advance. It came, finally, in the 105th minute, with Ghanian forward Waid Ibrahim -- a product of Los Olivos' Dunn School and Santa Barbara City College -- scoring his first goal of the season from a feed by Danny Barrera (Thousand Oaks/Westlake HS).
UC Santa Barbara outshot Denver, 31-4, unleashed 17 second-half shots and took 11 corner kicks to none for the Pioneers (9-7-4). Denver put just one shot on target.
UCSB, which will stage next month's final four, advances to Sunday's second-round clash at Pac-10 champion Cal (12-2-3), the national No. 6 seed.
UCLA LEARNS FOE: UCLA's eighth-seeded men (14-4-1) on Sunday will take on Sacramento State (10-4-7), which beat West Coast Conference co-champion Santa Clara, 2-1, in the opening round. Chris Bettencourt's 12th goal of the campaign, in the 86th minute, was decisive.
The Bruins' women (13-7-2) have a round-of-16 clash Friday night at top-ranked Stanford (20-0-2).
UCI REDUX: Both schools UC Irvine coach George Kuntz railed against after the Anteaters were criminally left out of the field failed to advance.
Kuntz's primary criticism of the draw was that the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation, a fairly minor D1 conference, received three bids (Sacramento State, Denver and New Mexico) while the Big West, an established mid-major power, got only one (UC Santa Barbara).
Denver, of course, lost to the Gauchos, and Sacto State beat Santa Clara. New Mexico was pounded by Creighton, 4-1.
The biggest first-round shocker: Old Dominion knocked out defending champion Virginia, 1-0.
The full NCAA Division I scoreboard:
College of Charleston 3, East Tennessee State 2
Providence 6, St. Peter's 2
Monmouth 0, Dartmouth 4
Sacramento State 2, Santa Clara 1
Creighton 4, New Mexico 1
Princeton 1, Md.-Baltimore County 2
Michigan State 2, Oakland (Mich.) 0
Georgetown 3, UNC Greensboro 0
West Virginia 4, Xavier 2
Tulsa 2, Bradley 0
Brown 2, Boston College 1
UC Santa Barbara 1, Denver 0
Duke 2, Coastal Carolina 1
Central Florida 3, South Florida 0
Virginia 0, Old Dominion 1
Penn 1, Bucknell 0
UCLA'S CLUB SIDES HIT/MISS: UCLA's club soccer teams -- not affiliated with the Bruins' athletic department -- had mixed results at the NIRSA championships in Phoenix. The women beat Purdue (1-0) and Penn State (3-2) to advance to the knockout phase; the men dropped into the consolation bracket after losses to Texas (3-2) and Northwestern (4-1).
The Bruins' women meet Virginia in Friday's round of 16. UC Santa Barbara's women also won both its pool-play matches and meets Cornell in the round of 16.

Pride of Galveston launched in ScotlandOctober 27th, 1877
On this day in 1877 the Elissa, an iron-hulled, three-masted barque built at the Clyde River shipyard of Alexander Hall and Company of Aberdeen, Scotland, was launched. After a long and varied career the vessel was purchased in 1974 by the Galveston Historical Foundation as a restoration project to complement the Strand Historic District, the Victorian market center of the city. The restored nineteenth-century full-rigged sailing ship is now berthed at Pier 21 in Galveston, just off the Strand, and is visited by 60,000 to 70,000 tourists a year.« Previous Next »
