|Murder, magic & madness and the fair that changed America
|by Erik Larson.
Two men, each handsome and unusually adept at his chosen work, embodied an element of the great dynamic that characterized America₂s rush toward the twentieth century. The architect was Daniel Hudson Burnham, the fair's brilliant director of works and the builder of many of the country's most important structures, including the Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in Washington, D.C. The murderer was Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor who, in a malign parody of the White City, built his "World's Fair Hotel" just west of the fairgrounds₇a torture palace complete with dissection table, gas chamber, and 3,000-degree crematorium. Burnham overcame tremendous obstacles and tragedies as he organized the talents of Frederick Law Olmsted, Charles McKim, Louis Sullivan, and others to transform swampy Jackson Park into the White City, while Holmes used the attraction of the great fair and his own satanic charms to lure scores of young women to their deaths. What makes the story all the more chilling is that Holmes really lived, walking the grounds of that dream city by the lake. The Devil in the White City draws the reader into a time of magic and majesty, made all the more appealing by a supporting cast of real-life characters, including Buffalo Bill, Theodore Dreiser, Susan B. Anthony, Thomas Edison, Archduke Francis Ferdinand, and others. In this book the smoke, romance, and mystery of the Gilded Age come alive as never before. Erik Larson's gifts as a storyteller are magnificently displayed in this rich narrative of the master builder, the killer, and the great fair that obsessed them both.

McNamara in Purgatory: Setting the War Record Straight
His strategy was a failure, his later derision of Vietnam's purpose much worse.
Robert McNamara grabbed me by the ankles and yanked himself atop a car I had clambered onto moments earlier. The secretary of defense was scrambling for a spot from which to address the antiwar protestors who had mobbed him outside of a dorm at Harvard University. On that day in November 1966, I had rushed over from the adjacent dorm to cover for my hometown newspaper the melee that turned out to be one of the pivotal points of his career.
From the roof of the car, McNamara rattled off statistics about the North Vietnamese infiltration of free Vietnam. Before he was whisked away by security agents, he ended his impromptu remarks by telling the protestors that he had gone to Berkeley and done a lot of the same things they were doing -- except that he was more courteous and tougher.
That encounter offered some clues to McNamara's subsequent collapse in respect of the war and his disingenuousness about his own role in it. For it turns out that neither of McNamara's assertions was true. To start with, he was not more courteous, a point underscored by Deborah Shapley, who, in a brilliant biography called "Promise and Power," depicts McNamara as essentially a toady to his superiors and arrogant and dismissive to his staff.
Nor was he tougher. Ms. Shapley quotes his secretary as telling a friend that toward the end of his tenure McNamara would often turn toward the window in an attempt to hide his emotions. "He does it all the time now," Ms. Shapley quotes his secretary. "He cries into the curtains."
The notion that for too long McNamara hid his doubts about the war rather than fighting against it has been aired anew in the wake of his death this week. This indictment was articulated most famously -- and eloquently -- in an editorial issued by the New York Times in 1995, when the former Whiz Kid came out with his memoir. "In Retrospect" was McNamara's confessional: He realized he was wrong on Vietnam.
"At the time," the Times editorialized, "he appeared to be helping an obsessed President prosecute a war of no real consequence to the security of the United States. Millions of loyal citizens concluded that the war was a militarily unnecessary and politically futile effort to prop up a corrupt government that could neither reform nor defend itself."
What the Times failed to say was that there were millions of loyal citizens who thought the war could be won. And in the years after McNamara left the Pentagon it was won, at least in the field if not in Congress, by American and South Vietnamese soldiers. These citizens believed the right thing to do in Vietnam was stick with the fight, the way we did in other wars that had early reverses, like Korea, World War II, and the Civil War.
Most people who take this view do not -- and do not have to -- gainsay the patriotism of the doves. But they do dispute the notion that the doves turned out to be right in the end. They see McNamara's default on Vietnam as a failure to support his military commanders during the years when they were seeking a greater commitment of troops and the authority to use overwhelming force.
One historian of the war, Mark Moyar, spoke in a radio broadcast this week about how McNamara maneuvered against the generals. He blocked their access to the political leadership in an effort to protect his own strategy, which was to escalate gradually in the hope that the enemy would take a hint. Another point Mr. Moyar made is that the Vietnam War, which went poorly between 1963 and 1968 when McNamara was defense secretary, improved from 1969 onward.
McNamara's great failure, in short, was not that he continued to front for a war he had concluded was wrong and had decided we would lose. It was that he collapsed in a war that he should have known we could win -- and then derided its very purpose. A central tenet of the left, after all, is that all the dying in the Vietnam War was without purpose. Here is how that famous New York Times editorial put it about McNamara: "Surely he must in every quiet and prosperous moment hear the ceaseless whispers of those poor boys in the infantry, dying in the tall grass, platoon by platoon, for no purpose."
I'm not so sure lack of purpose is what those infantrymen will be whispering to McNamara in whatever purgatory he finds himself. Many did grow cynical with respect to the American expedition -- I talked to hundreds of them in 1970, the year that I covered combat for Pacific Stars and Stripes.
But there also were many GIs who believed in the war in which they were risking their lives. And there were millions of South Vietnamese, Cambodians and Laotians in and out of uniform who understood the consequences of defeat. It is these people -- if they escaped the killing fields and re-education camps in which so many perished -- who have been living with those consequences ever since.
One newspaper editor who did stand by the war, J. Russell Wiggins of the Washington Post, liked to remind his friends of the saying that history doesn't disclose her alternatives. But one wonders what signals the Soviet empire would have drawn had America abandoned Indochina without a fight.
Vietnam was but one battle in a vast twilight struggle against communism in which our side finally prevailed. This is true even though McNamara spent time as head of the World Bank maneuvering to underwrite the very Vietnamese communists who'd broken his spirit on the battlefield. How sad it must have been for Robert McNamara that he couldn't, in his final years, find a way simply to celebrate the GIs who'd appeared in arms in the long pursuit of victory.
Mr. Lipsky, a former member of the Journal's editorial board, is founding editor of the New York Sun.

Voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) has been recognized as the crux of HIV surveillance, prevention and treatment programs. Since 2000, Ghana government has launched a number of HIV prevention and treatment programs intended to increase VCT services. Despite these efforts, uptake of testing is still low, though many women reported interest in getting tested. The disconnect between intention and action is attributable to several factors, including HIV-related stigma. The study used data from the 2003 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey and fitted complementary log-log models to regress women's desire for and uptake of an HIV test on levels of personal and community stigma. Consistent with findings from previous research, the study revealed significant associations between a number of socio-demographic and socio-cognitive variables and the desire for and uptake of an HIV test by Ghanaian women. Most significantly, the study showed that widespread stigma in the community exert greater negative effects on individuals who endorse stigmatizing beliefs and predispositions, compared to their peers with more favorable attitudes. Since community level educational and risk reduction programs have demonstrable influences on reducing HIV stigma, it is imperative that the Ghana government's ongoing anti-stigma campaigns and other HIV prevention programs take cognizance of the role of community stigma in influencing HIV testing.

"THINGS ARE LOOKING UP...LITERALLY!" architecture Tip by themajor
architecture, Vienna: 35 reviews and 102 photos
Indeed they are! For this tip isn't so much 'off the beaten path' as 'totally above it'. In a city like Vienna where you are overwhelmed by the beauty of so many of the buildings, it's obvious that during the course of your sightseeing you're bound to be miss something...and I don't mean the final sitting for breakfast or the last tram home! There's nothing wrong in missing out some of the sights. After all it's nice not to rush your visit and turn it into a mad race to complete a touristy checklist...and it's always good to leave something special to look forward to on return trips. So I have plenty of museums and palaces that I have yet to prance around and, yes, one day I really will take a spin in a fiaker. However, it's amazing how much you miss even in the places you have visited. My advice is this...
1. Remove your solartopi or similarly wide-brimmed headgear.
2. Tilt head upwards approximately 10-20 degrees.
3. Examine your surroundings ABOVE street level.
...and there you have it! Twice the fun at no extra charge!!

Using Lego Mindstorms motors and blocks, the Raspberry Pi, and a BrickPi, we built our own digital book reader out of Legos that can digitize real paper books.
We wanted to develop a book digitizer that could read books aloud. We were fascinated by Google's Google Books project, and thought "Why couldn't we do this at home?"
In our first attempt, we tried a proof of concept where we built the BrickPi Bookreader to read a Kindle aloud.
We redesigned the Bookreader to read real paper books. In our example, we digitize a paper copy of Horowitz and Hill's The Art of Electronics.
The Bookreader flips through the pages of a book, taking pictures of each page, and then turns each picture into a text document.
First, the bookreader prepares a page to turn by rotating a Lego motor. Gravity keeps just enough friction on the book page to inch the page forward. Next, a Lego arm beam swings around, forcing the page over.
After a new page is turned, the Raspberry Pi camera takes an image of the new page in JPEG format, and saves it to file. Using open source Optical Character Recognition software on the Raspberry Pi, the BrickPi turns the page image into text.
Finally, the Pi saves the text. Now we've digitized the page, and you have the start of your book. Just for fun, in our example we use some free text-to-speech software, and the Raspberry Pi reads the book out loud over some speakers we attached. Once the page is read and stored, the Raspberry Pi, through the BrickPi, turns to the next page of the book.
Below, we have some step-by-step directions for building your own Bookreader with the Raspberry Pi and Lego Mindstorms. All of the code and designs are in the Dexter Industries Github Repository.
In this project we use the EV3 system. However, the project can be done with the NXT system as well. You can also order the part set by using our Lego Digital Design Files: a full Bill of Materials can be produced with the software.
Since we wanted to use the Raspberry Pi camera, the BrickPi and Raspberry Pi setup had to be placed above the book to get a good picture of the page. The structure that we ended up with looks a bit like a lean AT-AT walker from Star Wars.
The Camera is Placed Squarely Above the book.
In our example, we used the Lego Mindstorms EV3 kit.
The trickiest part of setup lies with the motor connected to the wheel. The motor is not fixed to the platform, but can rotate freely from the point that it is connected to the platform. This is important because it keeps the pages pressed down so that the wheels can get a grip on the page. Another important thing to do is to rotate the wheel only for the time it takes for one page to come out of the wheel, then rotate the wheel back so that any extra pages that might have been pulled up are brought down.
A closer look at the page turning mechanism.
In the Dexter Industries Github Code Repository, there is a test code called arm⎽test.py to help you calibrate the arm for perfect movement. Connect the motor to Port A of BrickPi and change the values of 'speed⎽roller', 'speed_arm, 't1' and 't2', until you get flawless movement of your book pages.
Raspberry Pi Camera mounted with Lego.
The Raspberry Pi camera packs a lot of punch: there are a lot of options; it's easy to set up; and the image quality is acceptable for our project. We held it in place by pinching it between two Lego Technic beams in the previous section.
After connecting the camera, there is one more thing to do: change the focus of the Raspberry Pi camera. The camera comes with its focus fixed at infinity, and since it is a fixed focus camera, you have to manually change it. Here are two helpful links to do focus the camera:
After setting up the camera, take a test image to see that it is properly focused. In the rig we built, we have the camera about 10 inches above the book. (You may need to adjust the height depending on your book size.)
To take a test picture, simply run "raspistill -o image.jpg"
Take a few test images to check if the images are clear and the whole page is captured. If the camera is initialized properly you'll see a new file image.jpg in your present folder. Open it to see the image.
You may need to readjust the focus of the camera and angle at this point.
First we'll setup the Text-To-Speech engine (TTS). TTS takes text data and reads it aloud. In our project, we use eSpeak. The voice is robotic, but using eSpeak, we can select a few accents and choose the gender of our reader.
First, test if the audio is working on the Raspberry Pi. Plug a headphone or speakers in the audio jack and run the following command:
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*
If you are able to hear the sounds, move to the next step. If not, this tutorial may help you set up the audio.
Now, install eSpeak. Run the following in terminal:
sudo apt-get install espeak
After it is successfully installed, run the following command (disregard any error messages on the terminal if you can hear sound):
espeak "hello"
If you are able to hear "hello" from the headphones or the speakers, move to the next step.
Optical Character Recognition is really cool; it can read a picture of text, and turn it into text on the computer. We chose Tesseract OCR Engine. It runs smoothly on the Pi, it does not require an online connection, and it reliably converts images to text.
First, install tesseract:
sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr
Next, test the OCR engine. Take a good image of a piece of text and run tesseract:
tesseract image.jpg o
Image.jpg is the image which was taken by the raspberry pi camera and o is the file in which the text will be saved (tesseract will make it o.txt, so no need to add the extension).
Now, wait. The OCR takes a lot of processing power. When the Pi is done processing, open o.txt. If the OCR did not detect anything at all, you can try rotating the image and running the tesseract again.
With the camera, software, and platform working it is now time to bring the Bookreader to life.
Download the program bookreader.py from the BrickPi GitHub Python Repo and put it in the directory where you have the BrickPi.py library. Run the code to bring it to life:
sudo bookreader.py
And start digitizing the worlds millions of books!
Like the Bookreader project? The BrickPi is an opensource hardware and software project. You can contribute to the GitHub repository for the BrickPi and make it better!

'Never anticipated that many people'
People crowded into the Veterans Hall on Monday night to celebrate Del Norte County's servicemen and women, from those who fought in World War II to those currently in the military.
The Veterans Day Committee that coordinated the dinner and Monday morning's parade planned for 265 chicken-fried steak dinners and wound up serving 290, said committee member Sparky Countess.
"We never anticipated that many people," Countess said, adding that this was the biggest turnout the dinner has ever had. "We gave (people) as much as we had."
In addition to celebrating all of Del Norte's veterans, the dinner gave residents another chance to honor the parade's grand marshals, five World War II veterans and a senior-ranking member of the Hmong Army who fought Communist forces during the Vietnam era.
At the start of the dinner, county Supervisor Roger Gitlin, who emceed the event, handed his microphone to grand marshal Sua Phia Lo, who was a captain in the Hmong Army. Lo addressed the crowd in his own language.
"He said it's an honor to serve the U.S. and thank you for the recognition," said Khou Vue, a fifth-grade teacher at Bess Maxwell Elementary School and a member of the Hmong community.
Michael Poole, a ranger with Redwood National and State Parks, talked about Del Norte's own World War II monument, the National Tribute Grove in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park.
Siskiyou County Sheriff Jon Lopey, a combat Marine Corps veteran and a retired colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve, spoke about the veterans in his family, adding that his uncle was killed in the line of duty in the Philippines during World War II in 1945.
"We have World War II veterans here, heroes, a national treasure," Lopey said. "I don't have any more loved ones or family members that fought in that great war. Thank these men and women that are here tonight, because we got to thank them while we're here and appreciate them because they truly set the standard that we all try to follow."
Lopey, who wore his Army dress blues, also talked about service members who have fought in more recent conflicts and the hardships they and their families face, including struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder and brain injuries.
"We must never forget the sacrifice of those veterans past, present or future, no matter what kind of medals they deserve or earn," he said. "We owe so much to our veterans and their families. Did you know up to 1,500 veterans pass away every day? Twelve-hundred of those veterans are World War II veterans."
Even though the dinner was free to veterans and their spouses, diners were encouraged to donate money to help pay for the work the VFW did to have the interior of the Veterans Hall painted.

Skip to comments.Lake Charles' hit from Rita gets little attention
Posted on 12/06/2005 6:20:11 AM PST by CajunConservative
Residents of Lake Charles, many of whom will have blue tarps for roofs for the foreseeable future, have to feel a little slighted. Since Aug. 29 most of the news coverage, both inside and outside the state, has focused on what Hurricane Katrina did to New Orleans. The coverage is justified in light of what one of the worst hurricanes in U.S. history did to such a distinctive city.
Yet almost lost in all the sad stories, at least outside of southwest Louisiana, are these two facts:
Lake Charles and the region are still reeling from damage caused by Hurricane Rita, which struck Sept. 24. "We are on our knees," said Calcasieu Parish Police Jury President Hal McMillin during a recent tour of the area.
Leaders exude a can-do attitude that offers a sharp contrast with unrelenting criticism of state and federal officials elsewhere. "Our spirits are high," McMillin said. "We are rebuilding."
The Lake Charles area and its stories face several handicaps when it comes to winning attention. It is tucked in the southwest corner of the state, which is generally outside of the Baton Rouge/New Orleans media markets. It has about 75,000 residents and virtually none of the political bickering that makes New Orleans a magnet for television cameras.
"I wish they were talking a little more about us," Lake Charles Mayor Randy Roach said of news coverage this week.
"It is a little disappointing in a sense. But I don't lose any sleep over it."
Roach said two people died in the Lake Charles area when Hurricane Rita arrived.
At least 1,090 died due to Hurricane Katrina.
"When we said it is time to get out, they got out," Calcasieu Parish Administrator Mark McMurry said of area residents.
Even so, the storm did the seemingly unthinkable: It replaced Hurricane Audrey, which tore through the area in 1957, as southwest Louisiana's most destructive storm.
Hurricane Audrey killed at least 390 residents. Modern technology and other steps helped prevent such deaths from Rita.
"In terms of the economic destruction, infrastructure, the loss of a way of life, Rita was certainly worse in that respect," Roach said.
Residents jokingly call Lake Charles the nation's "blue roof capital," a reference to the seemingly endless sea of blue tarps that cover damaged roofs.
One group alone supplied 20 miles of tarp.
Roach figures Lake Charles suffered at least $1 billion in losses. Estimates for total Rita-related damage exceed $9 billion.
Lack of housing is the key problem. Rebuilding southwest Louisiana, like the New Orleans area, is complicated when workers have no place to sleep.
The future of heavily-damaged Harrah's Casino is unclear and probably will be for another six months.
Gambling revenue supplies about one-third of the city's building fund, Roach said.
McNeese State University, which claimed 9,000 students before the storm, suffered about $10 million in damages. At least 40 buildings were seriously damaged, McNeese President Robert Hebert said. Up to 500 students have been housed in an old Navy ship.
"The university took a heavy hit," Hebert said.
Lake Charles-Boston High School, which used to be Lake Charles High, lost 19,000 library books.
George Swift, executive director of the Southwest Louisiana Partnership for Economic Development, made a direct appeal to state leaders touring the area.
"Please don't forget us," Swift said. "We need help here."
If you would like on or off the Louisiana Ping list please FReepmail me and your name will be added or taken off of the list.
We are capable and competent over here. I knew who did my roof and I didn't lose a shingle. A friend of mine's mother was upset because she didn't have a blue roof like the rest of the neighbors because she had no damage. So she went to Lowe's and bought her a blue tarp and made her son put her blue roof on like the neighbors. She's about 75. He was not happy with her but she insisted.
The biggest problem most people are having here is that the insurance adjustors are low balling the damage estimate way under the actual cost of repair.
I was in Lake Charles a few years ago and have fond memories of the hospitality.
There's a BIG difference in Lake Charles and N.O residents.
My family members in Westlake were working hard to help organize supplies, housing, food, etc., for Katrina victims (including some of our relatives from N.O) when Rita hit.
They evacuated Rita to Woodville Texas, where they have a weekend home on a small lake. Rita damage was so widespread it took apart their boat dock/boathouse in Woodville. Completely destroyed it. B.A.S.S. had a women's tournament scheduled on Sam Rayburn Lake in October and had to move it near Dallas. Talked to some gals from around Rayburn and the damage there was extensive, and widespread.
My relatives also had about a dozen BIG trees down on their Woodville property, as well as damage to their home there. They are working with insurance adjustors now to clean up the damage. You don't hear them whining. They are so far satisfied with the federal response.
Funny thing is the storm blew all the milfoil on the lake under their dock. I'm going fishing there over the Christmas holidays.
Have you heard anything about the damage in Vinton? I used to work in Vinton and know some good people there. I fear they got hit hard.
Rita did some major damage that was widespread. The only type of trees that basically stood undamaged were the live oaks. My uncle had a tree down where the root system was taller than his house. Lake Charles and surrounding area looks naked without all of the trees.
Vinton was hit hard but once the tree debris was removed it's not as bad as it first seemed. Delta Downs is getting ready to start racing again. It's been about a month since I have been there but it looked okay then.
It's a great place to live. After the way the leaders handled things after the storm it's even better.
Delta Downs used to be my second home (grin). Of course that was before they built the casinos in Lake Charles.
I'll be in Lake Charles over the Christmas holidays so I guess I'll get a look at the damage then.
How's Woodville doing now? I have family living there, and my grandparents lived there. I have lots of memories of Woodville. I haven't been there in about 10 years because I live in California, and my folks live in Dallas. Plus, once my grandparents passed away, there wasn't a big desire to visit.
Still about the same as 30 years ago. Beautiful, quaint little town. I used to work for the weekly newspaper there, and had a home in Ivanhoe (on the highway between Woodville and Beaumont). Best fishing I ever experienced, and I've fished a lot of places.
George Jones had a little amusement type place in Colmesneil (sp) when I was there. And the Dogwood Festival was always fun. I go there to visit relatives a few times a year (was there last March), it hasn't changed at all in the past 20 years, except they got a big Walmart now.
Harrah's riverboat is still breached on beach. It looks kind of weird at night without the gaudy lights now.
That'll be a sight to see. They have the best food at that casino (or did).
What about the fancy homes on Calcasieu Lake? Did they survive?
I was wondering this the other day -- what is the name of the bayou you cross over from Lake Charles to Moss Bluff? I went by boat once to a small house on the bayou (it was a restaurant, and the only way I knew of to get there was by boat) and had the biggest, best eatin' crawfish ever there.
I haven't lived there for more than a decade. Can't wait to get to LC for Christmas and stock up on Richards smoked sausage. We can't get decent smoked sausage here. There's another brand we buy there made somewhere near LC, can't remember the name of it, but it's the best. I bring it back by the trunkloads.
How did Hackberry stand up to the storm? Got relatives there too, and duck hunted there a few years ago.
Some of the homes on Shell Beach Drive did flood but I drove by there last night and most had their Christmas lights up.
The bayou is English Bayou.
Is the sausage Rabideaux's? If that is it they have a market on 165 going towards Kinder that sells stuffed chickens, pork roast, beef roast and pork chops. They are excellent and easy just turn on the oven, stick it in and take it out in a couple of hours.
Hackberry got hit hard but they are recovering pretty well. They have some tough people there. My brother works in Johnson Bayou and if he brings his laptop home he has some really good pictures of the area and I will post them so you can see. Holly Beach is gone. There is NOTHING left standing except for the water tower. One good thing is they are going to install a sewer system before allowing any rebuilding.
I agree with you 100%. Lake Charles is one of the nicest cities I have ever visited in my life. I love the people & the city.
Yes, it is Rabideaux's. The very best smoked sausage. I wish I could order it on the internet. I'm making some gumbo today and had to settle for that old Hillshire Farms stuff they sell here.
I brought a bunch of Rabideaux's back last time I was in La., but all my friends wanted some, so I ended up giving it all away.
I'll load up Christmas.
I saw Holly Beach on TV, and it is gone, completely gone.
I'd love to see the photos.
Do you read the lake Charles American Press? I used to be editor of the "Contraband" and gave the editor of the American Press and the sports editor their first newspaper jobs. I also worked at one time at the American Press, and the Southwest Builder News in Sulphur. You're in my old stomping grounds.
Yep, English Bayou. My brother lived in Moss Bluff until a few years ago and some of his friends from Moss Bluff evacuated to here in Tennessee. They stayed at my brothers, but now live out on their own. They love it here and decided to stay. She is from Reeves, where my sister lived for many years, and he from Moss Bluff.
Amen to that!
I read both the American Press and the Sulphur Daily news.
Tennessee is beautiful. I don't blame them for wanting to stick around. It's definitely a far cry from Reeves. I own property in the Sugartown area and on Bundicks Lake. (My mother's family is from Sugartown.) So I go through Reeves quite a bit.
I had moved away for a good while then moved back to take care of my grandmother and father who was disabled. I at times want to move away again and may down the road but right now this is where I want to be. My family is here and that is my main reason for sticking around. I missed a lot when I lived out of state.
Come to think of it, what about further north? I know that Rita was heading for DeRidder and Leesville/Ft Polk.
They got hit pretty hard too but they are up and running. The main damage was from all the downed trees. The entire electrical grid was wiped out too in Beauregard Parish.
Ha, the Sulphur newspaper is daily now? It was bi-weekly when I worked there, owned by retired Army General Wise.
I interned there while in college (McNeese). And at the LC American Press.
Vinton used to have a small weekly, but it folded while I was at the Builder. So, the Builder started a Vinton edition (section) once a week and I produced it.
Anyway, I had to come up with a section of news and the town is so small. I remember walking down(the only) main street and writing info on Knights of Columbus fish fries, etc., written on billboards at the bank, trying to find some news.
I finally ventured into the local drug store, and there was a coffee clatch there, all the old timers were hanging out. I got a cup of coffee and sat right down among them. Soon I had 'em talking, and had enough material to write feature articles for years.
Those included interviewing a Hall of Famer baseball great (Ted Lyons) and a guy (one of four from Vinton) who was in the Battaan Death March.
Before you cross and Sabine River if you look to the right you'll see a monument from I-10 at the American Legion Post. The article I wrote about the Battaan vets prompted a fundraising drive and they built it to honor those guys. Only one survived. To this day it was one of the best things I'd ever written.
Vinton is just full of interesting people. Another of my favorites is a story about an old 'coon ass (he is probably deceased by now) who was the justice of the peace (almost 90 at the time). He couldn't read or write and ran for office 50 years earlier as a joke. He won and was reelected all those years. It took me a long time to convince him to let me write about him (he couldn't read and was suspicious of anything written about him). I had to take a puppy from a litter of his to get his permission. The folks around town used to joke that he'd make you write out your own speeding tickets (JPs had broad powers and were armed then), since he couldn't write. Once, a smart aleck made the ticket out on the JP :)
My cajun brother-in-law was raised in Reeves, and one of his favorite fishing holes was Bundick's Lake. Do you know where Whiskey Chitter is?
I sure do know where Whiskey Chitto is. My grandmother was baptized there and I grew up in both the Bundicks area and Oberlin. I know several of the canoe rental owners, T&J and White Sands. I used to go swimming and canoing back when I was in high school.
My Grandparents were from Woodville too. I love the place.
I had a lot on Deer Lake, east of town. Beautiful place. Should have kept it.

Diamondbacks send Joe Thatcher and Tony Campana to the Angels
I know it's not a trolling article about sabermetrics from an old fogey sportswriter, but we need to fill the front page with something, and I guess actual baseball transactions make as much sense as anything.

What are the Angels doing? Rich Hill, Jason Grilli, now Joe Thatcher.2. McCoy Posted: July 05, 2014 at 10:18 PM (#4744478)
Has to be small sample sizes and all but according to WAR Tony Campana is an average major leaguer and has been for his entire MLB career. Yet he barely plays and he barely starts. Free Tony Campana?3. Greg K Posted: July 05, 2014 at 10:29 PM (#4744487)
Has to be small sample sizes and all but according to WAR Tony Campana is an average major leaguer and has been for his entire MLB career. Yet he barely plays and he barely starts. Free Tony Campana?
Is he the guy who's really, really, really fast?
I always get him confused with Steve Clevenger for some reason. Who is not fast.
Presumably due to the minor flaw in WAR regarding PR/defensive specialists. Campana gets to generate baserunning and defensive value without burning PAs. He's then compared to the runs generated by an average player in the same number of PAs.5. Dillon Gee Escape Plan Posted: July 05, 2014 at 11:27 PM (#4744514)
There probably aren't more than a relative handful of guys with Campana's sort of PA vs. running vs. defensive opportunities profile so it's surely not worth fixing. But I suppose technically Rbat should be measured relative to PA, Rbase relative to times on base (or some such) and Rfield relative to defensive innings (or some such).
Is he the guy who's really, really, really fast?
Yes. 66 steals on 74 attempts.
For example, if I counted right, Campana has been used as a PR 36 times in his career. With a career OBP of 294, it would take him another 122 PA to reach base safely 36 times. He's been used often enough as a PH then gone into the field that he may not have that many "free" defensive innings but it's still probably on an order of 50-100.7. valuearbitrageur Posted: July 05, 2014 at 11:54 PM (#4744524)
Let's say between those he would need an additional 150 PA ... in those 150 PA, he'd add no additional baserunning or defensive value but would get docked about 7 more runs on Rbat. Which still keeps him average but at least a bit below.
Little dude is freaking fast and knows how to use it on defense too. He's credited with +18 between Rbase and Rdp (which does require a PA). Willie Wilson had two seasons like that. Only 6 seasons in the expansion era where a player had 15+ Rbase -- Wills 62, Rickey 85 and 88, Wilson 79-80 and Coleman 86.
Guy should probably retire, get on a bike and ride the Tour. Small enough he can probably climb well and I bet he can hold his own in a sprint.
Is Campana a pinch-running defensive replacement? Is that even something useful if he can't hit a lick?8. valuearbitrageur Posted: July 05, 2014 at 11:59 PM (#4744525)
What are the Angels doing? Rich Hill, Jason Grilli, now Joe Thatcher
Isn't it obvious?
Jason Grilli is a right hander.
Rich Hill, like all the rest of the Angels lefty relievers, stinks.
Joe Thatcher is a very effective lefty reliever.
Is Campana a pinch-running defensive replacement?<i>10. shoewizard Posted: July 06, 2014 at 03:18 AM (#4744567)
Pretty much yes. He has 160 career appearances in the field (plus PR appearances where he didn't make it into the field) and only 84 career starts. He does a reasonable amount of unsuccessful pinch-hitting as well.
<i>Is that even something useful if he can't hit a lick?
With shortened benches, not a lot but if you can afford him then, as his WAR shows, he's plenty valuable enough. He's a guy who, to this point, has easily out-run and, on a per-inning basis, fielded nearly as well as Peter Bourjos. Bourjos is a much better hitter ... but, by WAR, Bourjos would still be an average player if he put up -25 Rbat a year. Last year BJ Upton put up -26 Rbat and he sure wasn't gonna add 20-30 runs of baserunning and defense to that.
Of course nobody is ever going to give Campana that kind of shot because they all know that his bat is just too weak no matter how great the legs are. But he's probably as good or better than Miguel Dilone or Chuck Carr were and they got 2000 ML PAs. Giving him starts would be pretty dumb but probably smarter than the DBacks giving Womack 102 starts IN RF! in 1999. He's a better player, probably even better hitter, than Blair was from 31-36 and he was still given about 1400 PA.
I'm reasonably confident there are no better baserunners in MLB than Campana. There are probably some better CFs but not a huge number. It's gotta suck to be one of the best at two key aspects of the game and still be useless.
He should have played soccer

Lendl, who began coaching Murray last year, was invited by British player Ross Hutchins to play in the June event 16 at The Queen's Club.
The event will raise money for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, which supports The Royal Marsden - the world-leading cancer centre treating Hutchins, who was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma last December.
'I am delighted to be playing in the Rally Against Cancer event on the brilliant centre court at The Queen's Club," said Lendl, who twice won the titles at The Queen's Club, in 1989 and 1990. "
The event is for a great cause - the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity - and I'm very excited to be playing on a grass court for the first time in 20 years.
"To be able to play with Andy, Tim and Tomas will be a joy for me and I look forward to the match. I have got to know Ross well over the past couple of years and have known his family for a long time. I am right behind him and everyone in similar situations to him."

Research Institution:
AbstractArgos Intelligence, LLC, proposes to develop the Turbulence-Enhanced Monocular Passive Rangefinding (TEMPR) System, an innovative capability for the passive rangefinding of boost-phase ballistic missiles. The TEMPR System combines standard multispectral imaging with advanced phenomenological models and signal processing for unprecedented rangefinding capability. TEMPR will operate in real time and will be designed for the stringent demands of covert airborne ballistic missile tracking missions. TEMPR improves boost-phase ballistic missile rangefinding by exploiting two different physical mechanisms, namely absorption in multiple spectral bands and the range variability of turbulence. The primary components of the proposed TEMPR System are a multi-spectral measurement system, a 3-D atmospheric refraction and turbulence model of the atmosphere surrounding the ABL, and robust, real-time range extraction algorithms. The TEMPR Multi-Spectral Measurement System is composed of multispectral sensors strategically situated on the platform that provide multispectral measurements of both the distant stars and the boost-phase missile. The measurements of the stars are used to create a real-time 3-D refraction and turbulence model of the atmosphere surrounding the ABL. Range extraction algorithms utilize the passive measurements of the boost-phase missile and query the 3-D refraction and turbulence model to extract the range to the missile.

Torie tossed and turned throughout the night, not able to forget Ryan.
Torie was walking through the woods again. She heard the rustling of the trees and water beyond what she could see.
"No, no. Not this place again." She yelled, starting to panick. She started to run, faster and faster until she tripped on a root and went tumbling into the ground. She slowly sat up and brushed herself off, looking around at her surroundings. She was in the circle of trees again.
Mike stepped out first. "What a who're you are. Sleeping with both Kevin and Ryan, just to get ahead."
"No wonder Ryan broke up with you. Look at what you have become. A girl who only pities herself." Janelle snapped.
"What happened to the Torie that we knew? That we loved? The spite fire girl who didn't back down?" Greg added, quietly.
Alex stepped out last, looking pale and wounds all over his body. "You will be the death of all of us, Victoria." He added, gravely.
As soon as he said that, Janelle, Mike, and Greg went pale and looked like death itself. They started walking towards her. "You will be the death of us." They chanted.
Torie screamed and tried to sink into the ground.
She jolted straight up in the bed, breathing heavily and shaking.
Being single doesn't make you weak, it means that you are strong enough to be on your own; Being alone could be a good thing, because there is no drama involved in your life, no pain, and free to do what ever you want. Life is too short to be chasing those who aren't even worth fighting for, you are worth more than that.

Nati Harnik, Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — Everybody seemed to be watching Kyle O'Quinn and plucky Norfolk State take on mighty Missouri.
Florida coach Billy Donovan was watching. He sat courtside Friday afternoon, trying to get a bead on the team his Gators would be playing in the third round Sunday night.
Ray McCallum and his Detroit teammates were watching. They were huddled in their hotel rooms, drawing inspiration as their fellow No. 15 seed tried to upset the vaunted Tigers.
Even second-seeded Kansas and player of the year candidate Thomas Robinson were watching, no doubt getting a lesson in just how tenuous life can be in the NCAA tournament.
"It's March," Robinson said, "and anybody is capable of getting beat right now."
Missouri knows that all too well.
O'Quinn turned in the finest game of his career at the biggest moment in the history of Norfolk State basketball, finishing with 26 points and 14 rebounds in the Spartans' monumental 86-84 upset of the second-seeded Tigers on Friday.
It was the first domino in what turned out to be wild day of upsets — No. 2 seed Duke would go down to Lehigh, and fourth-seeded Michigan fell to No. 13 seed Ohio.
"We messed up some brackets! We messed up some brackets!" O'Quinn bellowed in the hallways of CenturyLink Arena, before turning a corner and seeing a pack of reporters.
"We even messed up my bracket," he said sheepishly.
So it will be Norfolk State, in its first NCAA tournament as winners of the MEAC, who will play Florida on Sunday for a spot in the round of 16 in the West Regional.
"Great, great game. They did enjoy it," Donovan said after watching the final minutes of the Spartans' game from press row. The Gators' coach briefly soaked in the celebration before slipping away to begin preparing for their upcoming game.
"That was one of the most intense basketball games I've ever been a part of," Norfolk State coach Anthony Evans said. "Our guys fought hard, and I'm very, very proud of them."
Pendarvis Williams and Chris McEachin each added 20 points for the Spartans (26-9), the fifth No. 15 seed to beat a No. 2 and the first since fellow conference member Hampton in 2001.
"You always go into the game with a sense of confidence," O'Quinn said, "but I never thought it was an upset-alert until that buzzer went off.
"At the end of the game," he said, "that's when I thought it would happen."
O'Quinn had a chance to take some drama out of the final possession, but the 70 percent foul shooter missed two free throws with 3.8 seconds left. Missouri coach Frank Haith called a timeout to set up a final play, and Phil Pressey got a good look at a 3-pointer just before the buzzer.
It clanked off the back iron as O'Quinn leaped for joy.
Michael Dixon led Missouri (30-5) with 22 points, and Pressey and fellow guard Marcus Denmon finished with 20 points each. Pressey also contributed eight assists, though senior guard Kim English was held to two points on 1-for-7 shooting.
"I'm very disappointed, as everyone in that locker room was," Haith said. "I hurt for those seniors because they put so much into this. They had high expectations."
So did Horizon League champion Detroit.
McCallum, the Titans' star guard, said he watched the Norfolk State game unfold from his hotel room before coming over to the arena. He remembers turning to forward Eli Holman, his roommate, and asking a seemingly innocent question: "Why can't that be us?"

I Curse the River of Time (original 2008; edition 2011)
by Per Petterson
Work details
I curse the river of time by Per Petterson (2008)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
It was difficult at first to give myself into Petterson's simple rhythms. The story is mostly backstory, and he meanders about his memories and his past life in ways that sometimes seem irrelevant. But his wonderful poetic prose -- the "dementing lures" described by James Wood in his recent New Yorker review (http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/atlarge/2012/12/10/121210crat_atlarge_wood) -- kept rescuing me from my impatience.
In a shortish narrative that jumps around in time, Per Petterson relays the story of Arvid, a man in his mid-thirties who cannot get along with his mother. Emotions stay buried deeply in this story, and only surface when Arvid behaves badly.
We witness as Arvid, still in his teens, announces to his mother that he's leaving college to join the worldwide proletariat as a member of the Communist Party. She slaps him. He travels to a lake with his girlfriend, and while they have fun, we don't see her any more after this episode. And he hears the news that his mother is terminally ill, but can't find the love inside required to be anything but a pest, forcing himself into her company as she travels from Oslo to Denmark to visit a home from long ago.
There isn't much to recommend Arvid, and very likely this is the point. We get this first-person portrait of a very unsympathetic character; his desires and approach to life are rather childish; his wife is divorcing him, and there are mysterious occurrences in the past concerning a couple of his brothers. This strikes as an example of viewing the world from the eyes of a problem child, a troublesome employee, an adult man who in some ways has failed to launch. It's effective in that way, but the string that should pull this narrative taut and lift it off the surface in my view stays slack and accomplishes nothing.
Per Petterson is admired for his other work, and I have probably latched on to something lesser here.
There is plenty of compassion in a Per Petterson novel. Even with at least three difficult themes wrapped up into one package. Death, relationships, and the examination of a life too late in the game now to change. This novel was not "fun" to read, but I am glad I read it. Seems I end up liking pretty much everything the man writes. The end result for me was in a difficulty overcome, and that is saying something.
For me, this book was not quite as compelling as either In the Wake (my favorite of Petterson's so far) or Out Stealing Horses. I settled in easily to his now familiar style and breezed through the book, but found the "plot" slightly lacking and the webbing between his usual flashbacks and flash-forwards weaker than in his other books. Still a good read, just not as strong as I'd been hoping for.
Thank you Goodreads and Graywolf Press for the ARC.
It's been awhile since I read Per Petterson, and I had forgotten how long his sentences can be, and how many commas, and eliptical phrases there are, and how many times tenses can change before the next period, and, and, and.....
then..... I remember how to read his work - just (almost) close my eyes and let the prose flow, imagine the mood place and just enjoy.
This novel is not as dreamy as earlier efforts, more political (even autobiographical?). Fans of Scandinavian ennui will not be disappointed. Nor will urban geographers interested in knowing nearly every Oslo street and subway stop and all about a few Danish islands, too.
It is worth the effort for Per Petterson aficionados. First timers should best try Out Stealing Horses or To Siberia.
Note that Anne Born who did the superb translations of Out Stealing Horses and To Siberia is nowhere to be found. Instead, we have a collaborative translation effort between Per and Charlotte Barlund. It does not result in the same flow, in my view.
Petterson håller sig, liksom sina karaktärer, på artigt avstånd och lämnar lite för mycket osagt. Jag får känslan av att den verkliga huvudpersonen här är Arvids mor, men eftersom Arvid inte känner henne får vi aldrig heller göra det
Lågmäld i tonen förmår den ändå måla fram en nästan gastkramande bild av en människa som kämpar med sina oförlösta drömmar och sina föreställningar om livet och världen som inte alls blivit vad han hade tänkt sig.
Det är ordknappheten som gäller. Utan att för den skull vare sig naturimpressionerna eller alla de många spröda stämningarna behöver träda tillbaka i denna vemodsfyllda berättelse.
Med psykologisk blick och nedtonade stilmedel tecknar Petterson ett övertygande porträtt av en vilsegången ensamvarg i den lägre medelåldern.
Det är en vemodig och stillsam historia, men helt utan sentimentalitet, skriven på ett mycket vackert och poetiskt språk. Författaren har en enastående förmåga att realistiskt skildra vardagen med dess små detaljer och tidsmarkörer.

I have found this plugin to be enormously useful! The only issues I've had have been with the paragraph-editing mode.
First, the edit box always seems to be too small for the paragraph being edited. (Firefox 3.5.7 on Mac OS X 10.6)
Second, the text is enlarged after saving; does not happen with full-post editing. (Also Firefox 3.5.7, Mac OS X 10.6)
I am using the LightWord theme, if that will help debugging.

I recently received a travel grant from KKOOM, but before I talk about the trip I've had for almost 2 weeks in America, I want to introduce myself.
Hi everyone who supports [KKOOM and GlobalGiving,] I'm Hyedong You. I've lived with more than 100 people in Samsungwon orphanage since I was 5 [in Gumi, South Korea]. I studied Electronic Engineering in university and I'm going to graduate this February. When I was young, I sometimes complained about why I was in that orphanage. But now, I know how blessed and wonderful I am.
These are the phrases that I used in my recent job interview: "People often think [about] and call my home a very unfortunate matter, but I think I'm rather blessed and gifted because I, not only could have big family with love but, I also could learn about reaching out and bringing people together through this."
As I had a bit short time to look around all over America, I just decided to go see over LA and Las Vegas. I got to LAX airport in the early morning on 18th December. I felt a bit tired as I was on the flight for a long time, but by the time I got to LA, I felt really refreshed and energized by the warm and fresh air in LA. My friend came to the airport to pick me up, and this is the beginning of my trip in America. There were a lot of things to do in LA. I went to Universal Studio, Getty Museum, Korean Bell of Friendship, Hollywood, Griffith observatory and more.Overall, I liked these places pretty much. There were lots of different atmospheres I could feel in each places.
First of all, Hollywood, the historical center of movie studios and movie stars, impressed me. I could see a lot of stars that has movie stars' names in the street.. And as I like architecture, I really liked to see the Getty Museum. There were a lot of people visiting this place and they looked pretty amazed by the paintings, masterpieces, books, etc. Even though I'm not a person who knows well about the art, history of the cultures, I enjoyed seeing different kinds of paintings and many interesting kinds of things. I could even see about a 300 years old Bible.
At last, I can't forget the night view of Las Vegas. The city was decorated with beautiful lights, LEDs and tourists' enthusiasm. I could see the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, Pyramids, and so on. I felt I was really lucky because I could see a number of landmarks of the wold, even I didn't go to each country personally. In order to feel the atmosphere of Las Vegas, I decided to see a show happening in the center of Las Vegas. I really wanted to see "Big O show" which is the most popular and the oldest show in Las Vegas, but it was already fully booked. So instead I went to see a show called "Zumanity." I couldn't stop laughing during that show because it was so hilarious.
I had a great time in America, and I can't really believe how quickly the time has gone by. I know I couldn't really make it [without your] concern and support. I really appreciate your help and concern. I promise I'll return the favor and love that I've had in my life. I [want to] establish a scholarship foundation in the future so that I can also help people who [don't have many chances] to achieve their dreams. I'll pray for your health and beautiful life. Thank you very much.
