Let's all relive this moment, shall we?
Ji Heon: I don't like being this way (forgiving Yeon Woo), but I like you. Crazily.
I just realized, I almost always have the bad luck of recapping the episode AFTER a squee-worthy moment (like here and here). Lucky you aberdeen!! OK – on to episode 9.
Dr. Champ OST – "My All" by Bae Da Hae [download]
Tears stream down Yeon Woo's cheeks, as she is touched by Ji Heon's faith in her. She protests: "Liking someone who likes someone else is the stupidest thing you could do," but he says, "Do you want to do my rehab treatment or not!?" That shuts her up. I'm already a puddle of goo, but Ji Heon isn't done yet: "Just wait for me. I'll go to you."
Sitting by Do Wook's side, Hee Young notices the photo of the two of them on the table. Of course, Do Wook chooses that perfect moment to wake up. He was pretty sure that he was with Yeon Woo, so what is Hee Young doing here instead? He gets out of bed, and she holds out his cane ready for him. The kind gesture startles the two of them, as it appears that Hee Young is sorta ready take care of him.
Hee Young wants to know why he kept that photo. Do Wook: "I didn't keep it. I just didn't throw it away." He sends her off, and tells her it'd be best if she never came over again.
Hee Young: You mean that right?
Do Wook: What if I didn't? What if that's not the truth, what will you do?
Do Wook is clearly trying to leave a door open for her, but his own stubbornness won't let him admit it. Hee Young chooses to just leave.
Meanwhile, Yeon Woo can't sleep. (Who could, after a confession like that!?) She receives a text from Ji Heon: "You can't sleep. It's because of me you can't." (Not even a question – Ji Heon, you're not presumptuous at all…) He orders her to put down the phone and lay down, and then close her eyes. She does just that, but her eyes don't close.
He sends another text: "Close your eyes!!" And then he wishes her sweet dreams. Guys – what is up with you and your mixed signals? Do Wook with his "Please don't come back, but I am lying when I say that," and Ji Heon with his "Put the cell down and close your eyes," but by texting her, she can't really do that!
The next morning, Yeon Woo sees Do Wook pull up in his car, and immediately drops her seat back down to hide. She realizes the ridiculousness of hiding and gets back up…to see Do Wook standing outside her car looking at her. I love how she turns her head away to compose her face before greeting him.
Do Wook knows she's avoiding him, and Yeon Woo knows she's in trouble for getting Hee Young involved. He then asks about her kicked out athlete, and realizes that it's actually Ji Heon that she's helping.
Manager Bom-Jung (I realize aberdeen and I are calling him two different names, so I'm just gonna combine the two) watches as Do Wook treats another athlete and gushes about how wonderful their medical center is turning out to be. Do Wook brings up the budget to purchase new MRI machines and that sends cheapskate Bom-Jung out the door.
Taek Woo and Lackey are carrying boxes of uniforms to the center when a speeding jeep drives right up to them. It's Go Bum, wanting to know how to get to the dorms. Taek Woo is miffed by the presence of such an arrogant man in an expensive car and doesn't help him at all. They belatedly realize that he's also the one who went up against Ji Heon before. Aaand I think we know why Ji Heon was kicked out in the first place…
Go Bum is Sang Bong's new roomie (who isn't too happy to see the dude wear his gold medal without permission) and also Ji Heon's replacement. Go Bum is faster and stronger than Sang Bong, but everyone believes that Ji Heon was the better athlete (even Taek Woo).
At the very same time, Ji Heon is training with his old coach. During his break, he gets a call from Yoo Ri, who's very. pissed. off. He wasn't answering her calls or texts (uhm, he's not your boyfriend), and she was worried about him. Ji Heon on the other hand congratulates her for getting fifth place – his good luck belt really worked! Yoo Ri thinks he's shameless for going back to Yeon Woo for rehab when she's the one who got him kicked out in the first place. She offers to have her doctor dad treat him instead, but Ji Heon just ignores her.
Do Wook wants to see Ji Heon privately first, and invites him to sit down. Ji Heon chooses to stand, not wanting to be in an inferior position. The doc tells the athlete to work hard, so that he can come back to Taereung without any more incidents. That's all he had to say, but Ji Heon isn't done with the conversation. He wants to know what Do Wook thinks of Yeon Woo.
Do Wook: Do you like her?
Ji Heon: I asked you first.
Do Wook: Kim Yeon Woo… she's honest to a fault and inflexible. She has no sense of humor, bad taste in clothes, and doesn't know how to wear make-up.
Ji Heon: Right!? That woman's got those sides to her. A woman should know how to adorn herself… she doesn't seem to be the type many men go for.
Do Wook: She's my type.
Ji Heon: EH?!
Do Wook: I hate a doctor who's so into looking pretty that she doesn't do her job right.
Ji Heon: So are you saying you see her as a woman?
Do Wook: I'm a very good doctor – but I don't have the ability to see a woman as a man. Kim Yeon Woo's gender is female, isn't it?
Ji Heon just got owned! When Do Wook leaves the center he gives a knowing smile towards Ji Heon and Yeon Woo, but Ji Heon gives him the evil eye.
He starts his rehabilitation training with the head nurse, who makes him do leg stretches and squats, while Yeon Woo supervises. As Ji Heon trains, Yeon Woo is surprised to find out that athletes can get better in shorter periods of time than prescribed, or can will themselves to recover. Ji Heon scolds her for being so ignorant, and she barks back that he should raise his leg higher and work harder. He yells at her to stop talking to him and making his training more difficult. And the head nurse just smiles…
Leaving the center, Ji Heon bumps into some of his former teammates and his coaches. Everyone greets him warmly, except Coach Oh, and it's an uncomfortable sight for Yeon Woo to accidentally spy on. She offers to drive him home; since his knee is injured, she'll help him so that he doesn't strain it further.
Yeon Woo suggests that Ji Heon participate in the following competition instead of the upcoming one. Again, he is amazed at her ignorance. There are three rounds of competition for athletes to qualify for the Asia Games. He must win first place in two of them to get in. He lost in the first round because she had made an incision in his leg, so he can't lose the next two rounds. She wonders if he's worried about the future, where his leg may never heal, but Ji Heon's can only think of the present. The future is too scary.
During a fashion show for new swimwear, Do Wook and Bom-Jung hold an interview with a couple of reporters regarding Eun Suk's doping incident. However, Do Wook's sarcasm and forthright attitude don't really go well with the reporters, and Bom-Jung is left to smooth things over. When Do Wook tries to ask about the MRI, Bom-Jung deflects by calling Hee Young to their table. Do Wook then notices that her jerk ex-husband has also arrived.
Both Do Wook and Hee Young give frosty stares at the ex, but he just smiles back, amused.
Yoo Ri and Eun Suk are the two final models wearing swimsuits specially designed for the Asia Games. They hold a press conference afterward, and that is when jerk ex comes up to Do Wook and Hee Young. He's recently started a swim wear business (which hopefully won't fail), and asks if they're getting back together.
Hee Young says it's all business, but Do Wook says they are. Jerk ex had suggested they start over, so they're doing that right now. Hee Young is aghast, but she doesn't say anything contrary. When they leave, Hee Young tells him that he just embarrassed her in front of the one person she didn't seem pathetic to. Do Wook thought he was kinda cool, then seriously says, "I think I can make you a million times happier than that loser ever could."
Hee Young has no time to respond, as Do Wook is called away for another interview.
Yeon Woo is eating with her mother when Do Wook calls. Her mother thinks that they're dating, but Yeon Woo dispels the notion. She picks him up, and it turns out they're going to do check-ups on budding soccer athletes that Do Wook's old friend now teaches. (That friend is played by Yoo Sang Cheol, a retired soccer player.) It's also an opportunity for Yeon Woo to learn.
One kid complains of sore thighs and legs, and it's because he needs to stretch properly before playing. Another kid complains of his foot falling asleep after the second half. Do Wook asks what Yeon Woo thinks, and she wonders if it's a lack in magnesium. Do Wook prescribes the kid a banana at half time – "Have you ever seen a monkey that had a foot fall asleep?" The kid laughs, and I guess Do Wook does have great bedside manner with kids!
While waiting for Do Wook to finish up his conversation with his friend, a soccer ball hits Yeon Woo in the head. Yeon Woo kicks it back into the field, taking the opportunity to play alongside the kids. Do Wook smiles as Yeon Woo runs around in a field of kids half her size.
During their drive back, Do Wook notes that they should go exercise – Yeon Woo runs kinda funny. But at that moment, Hee Young calls to speak to him. Do Wook says that he's busy – with Yeon Woo. He tells her to go to the office any time to "talk." Yeon Woo knows that Do Wook mentioned her name just to make Hee Young misunderstand their relationship. She pulls over and gets out of the car; Do Wook can drive his own car and go anywhere he wants to – or should – go.
He really does leave her to walk home, but Yeon Woo's OK with that – she's given him food for thought.
Ji Heon is waiting outside her home (pretending that he was in the neighborhood) and has a special request. She notes that he's not training, and he replies that today is a special day. He wants to spend the next seven hours with her, until midnight.
Yeon Woo wonders if it's his birthday, because if it is, she wants to go home now. He assures her it isn't, and offers her some popcorn chicken. She doesn't bite, so Ji Heon says he'll eat the two servings by himself. Yeon Woo grabs one away from him.
Date time! They spend the next seven hours going to a 4D theater (going "AAAAAAAAH" then "ooooh…" then "AAAAAAAH!"), and singing at a noraebang (Ji Heon loud pop songs, Yeon Woo slow ballads that make him fall asleep). When it's evening, Ji Heon says that he wants to go to all different kinds of "rooms" – they've been to a 4D room and a karaoke room, so up next is… Yeon Woo's room?
But Yeon Woo isn't paying attention – she spots a guitar that looks exactly like the one her father used to have. She tells Ji Heon that she used to imitate her father playing guitar. She always thought it was cool, and wishes she learned properly.
They go to a sauna, where Yeon Woo notes that Ji Heon is being really strange – what's so special about today that he, the most diligent athlete, won't even go to training? He deflects by getting some eggs, and that's when his cell phone rings.
Yeon Woo picks it up, and when Ji Heon returns, she's really annoyed with him. Yi Reum had just called asking why Ji Heon didn't go to the cemetery for the memorial. It's his brother's death anniversary. Yeon Woo is angry that he dragged her out, and thinks that Ji Heon forgot his brother's death anniversary.
Ji Heon says he didn't – he skipped out on purpose. It's all his fault that his brother his dead, and his sister-in-law hates him so much for it that he's afraid it'll come up in a conversation, and then Yi Reum will know the truth. He never sees his family on that day, to protect Yi Reum. He thanks Yeon Woo for spending the day with him, and Yeon Woo feels doubly worse now.
Ji Heon goes home, but it's not yet 12 midnight, so he sits outside the house and waits.
The next day, Yeon Woo is outside his door. She tells him to wear hiking boots – they're going to go mountain climbing. Ji Heon thinks this is her way of apologizing for yesterday, but she says it's not. It's her way of determining whether he has finished his treatment or not – it's the last check-up. If Ji Heon can't make it to the top, she's not clearing him.
Meanwhile, since it's the weekend Hee Young goes to Do Wook's home – will he go on a "date" with her? She takes him to a park that they used to visit. Everything has changed – there's a concrete road rather than a trail; her favorite playground is gone; the restaurant they always went to is also gone. Her point is that in fourteen years, a lot has changed and disappeared. She simply wants them to be more comfortable around each other, and begs him to be rid of his hate or resentment towards her.
Do Wook assures her that the hostile feelings are gone, but he's still trying to work through his feelings for her.
Ji Heon and Yeon Woo reach the top of the mountain, and he confides in her. The first time he got kicked out of Taereung due to an injury, he was always in and out of hospitals. He gave up on judo and got in a lot of trouble working at clubs. One particular time, his brother was on his way to bail him out of jail when he got into a car accident. He lost consciousness due to loss of blood, but when he woke up, he said that he dreamed Ji Heon won the gold medal. He didn't say he loved his wife, or ask Ji Heon to take care of Yi Reum. That single minded love and dream for his little brother was enough to spur Ji Heon to get back into training.
Yeon Woo checks if his knee is OK, and then declares him fit once again. Ji Heon has one special request for her: until the competition he will not look her way, but in return, she cannot do anything with Do Wook. HA! So cute.
True to his word, he trains harder than ever, and Wheesung's song comes back on. Yay!
One day at work, Woo Ram comes running up to Yeon Woo and Do Wook outside the center. He gives her a small plant as a way of thanks for treating his ankle. Because she cured him, he was able to win a bronze medal recently. And then he skips away!
Do Wook can't help but be impressed. He then asks after Ji Heon, and she informs him of his competition tomorrow. Do Wook lets her go – she can be the attending physician for the match. After all, sitting around in an office doesn't make a doctor a doctor.
Ji Heon is busy wrapping a gift for Yeon Woo, with Yi Reum watching. Yi Reum wants to cheer for his uncle, but Ji Heon won't let the boy skip school. Will Balloon Noona be going then? Ji Heon says that no one will be there, but he'll be fine.
Outside Ji Heon peps himself up for tomorrow, but he's still feeling uneasy. He calls up Yeon Woo – how could she not wish him luck or call him even once before his competition!? But he said he wouldn't see her! Does that include phone calls?! Doctors should always cheer on their athlete patients! But that would mean she'd be on the phone all day at work!
Ji Heon is frustrated so he gets ready to hang up, but Yeon Woo simply says, "See you tomorrow." She's going to cheer for him; "Do well, because I'll be watching." And she hangs up.
Poor boy is love struck.
Carrying the gift – a guitar – he runs over to her place and catches her just as she goes out the door.
Breathlessly, Ji Heon holds up the guitar for her to take. She thinks that he ran all the way over just to give that to her, but he wanted her to repeat what she said on the phone. "See you tomorrow?" No – the other line.
Yeon Woo: Do well?
Ji Heon: Too quiet – louder!
Yeon Woo: Do Well!
Ji Heon: LOUDER!
Yeon Woo: DO WELL!
Kaedejun: RUN UP THE FREAKIN' STAIRS AND KISS HER!!!
And Ji Heon and Yeon Woo smile at each other.
FINE! Be like that – DON'T kiss her. And here I was, totally hoping to recap a kiss! But then again – them just smiling at each other sent warm fuzzies up and down my body that I'm superbly happy at the way this episode ended. I enjoy that their love is growing slowly – particularly for Yeon Woo. The two of them are like pseudo-friends, but with the knowledge that one side has stronger feelings than the other. They both like to hang out with each other, and it's nice to see that Yeon Woo is quickly warming up to Ji Heon. I particularly loved the part where Ji Heon addresses her as "Dr. Yeon Woo" and then "Yeon Woo-ssi" during the mountain climbing scene, because it's as if he thinks she will take him more seriously if he addresses her in a way that reflects their budding closeness. Squee.
As for Coach Oh – I am liking how his character is being drawn. This coach could have easily been a two-dimensional character who just doesn't like or care for Ji Heon and that's why he kicked him out. However, he doesn't just have a grudge against the guy, he also schemed to get Ji Heon out just so he could bring Go Bum in. I didn't expect that, and I like that I now have a "villain" to hate after Doctor Terror.
And FINALLY! We get the background to Ji Heon's brother's death, and we see how much Hee Young has matured. She's truly moved on – which I think is a good thing. I don't see her as needing to end up with Do Wook, and it disappoints that Do Wook is so clingy. I almost hoped that he would be charmed by Yeon Woo in this episode, because though the triangle is officially done, this episode could have restarted it. However, he's too stuck on Hee Young to really pay attention to anyone else. I don't mind Uhm Tae Woong's portrayal of it, though he lacks chemistry with any of the ladies in my opinion, but I think his character is falling flat. Hee Young got fleshed out a bit more here, and so I'm sure Do Wook will have his turn soon. Until then, I wish he'd stop being so pathetic.
And now I will take a fork and spoon in each of my hand, bang my fists on the dinner table, and yell, "KISS! KISS! KISS!" 😀 (I don't usually advocate for frozen k-drama kisses, but I'll be damned if Dr. Champ doesn't hurry it up a bit! Whether it be between the Sang-Ji couple, or the Ji-Yeon couple).

Valdimir Putin tries to persuade AC Milan to sell Kaka to Abramovich's Chelsea
Russian PM helps out his oligarch mate at the Bridge
The one who belongs to the lead character from The Passion of the Christ is on the cusp of signing his fate away to Florentino Perez's Real Madrid.
Sky Sport Italia believe the deal will be formally struck at midnight tonight, at which point Kaka will give a press conference in Brazil. Madrid-based newspaper Marca say Madrid have sent Dr Juan Carlos Hernandez to South America, where he will carry out a medical today. At first, The Spoiler questioned whether Marca had made up a name as stereotypically Spanish as Juan Carlos Hernandez, but he is indeed Los Blancos' head of medical services.
The most intriguing Kaka-related story in Marca, however, is the one in the purple banner in the picture above. Apparently, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has phoned Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi to persuade him to sell Kaka to Roman Abramovich's Chelsea.
Quite why Putin would feel the need to involve himself in such affairs is anyone's guess, but in light of the imminent deal with Real Madrid, it would seem the man from behind the Iron Curtain doesn't hold as much influence as he may like in the higher echelons of Italian government.

A brain imaging study suggests that men with a history of violent behavior may have greater gray matter volume in certain brain areas, whereas men with a history of substance use disorders may have reduced gray matter volume in other brain areas, according to a report published online today by the Archives of General Psychiatry, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
According to background information in the article, research suggests that violent behavior may stem from a complicated mix of biological, psychological, and social factors. Studies of the brains of violent individuals have yielded preliminary information, yet scientists still have much to learn.
"The interpretation of studies of the brain morphology of violent offenders is further limited by the fact that most of these men present with a substance use disorder (SUD)," write the authors. "Thus, teasing apart alterations in brain structure associated with persistent violent behavior and those associated with SUDs presents an ongoing challenge."
Boris Schiffer, Ph.D., from the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany, and colleagues compared violent offenders, both with (12) and without SUDs (12), with nonviolent men, both with (13) and without SUDs (14). The first group was recruited from penitentiaries and forensic hospitals, and the second group was recruited from psychiatric outpatient programs and by advertisements and employment agencies. Experienced psychiatrists assessed the participants — all men between 23 and 54 years — for mental disorders, psychopathy, aggressive behavior, and impulsivity. All study participants underwent structural magnetic resonance imaging at a university hospital.
The researchers identified differences in the brains of men in the various categories. Participants with a history of violence and SUDs had a greater volume of gray matter in certain brain areas than violent offenders without SUDs. Yet among nonviolent offenders, a history of SUDs was associated with a smaller volume of gray matter in certain brain areas. The increases in gray matter volume among violent offenders appeared in the mesolimbic areas of the brain, which previous research suggests are linked to feelings of desire and reward as well as antisocial behavior and psychopathology.
The larger gray matter volumes in participants with violent tendencies were associated with higher scores for psychopathy and lifelong aggressiveness, whereas the smaller volumes of gray matter in those with SUDs appeared to be related to response inhibition. Among men with SUDs, the study found smaller gray matter volume in areas of the brain that play a part in social behavior as well inhibition.
The authors call for more research "to link the observed structural abnormalities to specific deficits in functioning assessed by both neuropsychological tests and behavior in the real world and to the interactions of genes and environmental factors."

It's one thing to see a monster catfish at the Tennessee Aquarium; it's quite another to reel one in on 10-pound test line, warns Coast Guard captain and fishing guide Richard Simms. As owner of Scenic City Fishing Charters Simms has helped hundreds of fishermen (and women) reel in everything from crappie to largemouth bass, but his specialty are the whiskered blue giants that lurk in the depths of the Tennessee River – catfish.
Most of his tours take place within Chattanooga city limits, 15 miles up- or downstream from Chickamauga Dam on the Tennessee River. In fact, his clients often fish within sight of downtown's Aquarium. Growing up in the area, Simms has an innate understanding of local waters and marine life. What's more, he holds a degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Management, and even worked for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency for several years.
"The Tennessee River in the Chattanooga region is unique in that it is so productive and so varied," explains Sims. "It's also a catfish factory. For most of the year it is very hard to go fishing here and NOT catch catfish." Five to ten pound catfish are routine, ten to 20 pound fish aren't unusual and each year brings numerous catches in the 30 to 50 pound class, he says. "The largest I've had a client catch was 75 pounds, which holds a line class world record."

Excerpt: "Jerry Reese says the Giants will look different next season.
He doesnt intend to start a massive overhaul, but he will need to add a few new pieces. And the GM might have to say goodbye to some familiar old faces with the Giants projected to be $4.7 million over the cap in 2013 according to John Claytons cap numbers. Clayton says the Giants will carry over $1 million.
According to Clayton, the cap is growing at only $300,000 a year. So with last year's cap at $120.6 million, the cap could be around $121 million this coming season.
So if the Giants have to shed close to $5 million, Reese will have some tinkering to do. The Giants have a lot of free agents and restricted free agents to take care of such as Victor Cruz, Will Beatty, Osi Umenyiora, Kevin Boothe, Stevie Brown and Martellus Bennett.
So the Giants will have to do what they have done in the past couple of seasons and thats some cap maneuvering. Heres a list of a few veterans who could be impacted by the cap and may be candidates to restructure their contracts: " Read more...
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
oh snapppp.
i was wondering about snee. is he really that untouchable.after last seasons play, id argue hes right there at the top of overpaid wayyyyy too much for his performance. but was that just a 1 yr issue? was it bc of DD? lol sorry DD. Can he return to the level we're accustomed to?i dunno. bradshaw, i thought nah, no way we cut him. but then again, DW did look NASTY. Andre Brown looked nasty too when healthy. Only prob, bradshaw had games where he looked amazing as well...i dont think we move him, maybe restructure or redo his current deal...but the players that are in jeopardy of release due to their cap hits dont really worry me. compared to the players we'd be keeping/signing, its actually a good trade off...
we arent in terrible shape yet we are over the cap and still out 22 players??? i beg to differ with the writer
Lol with tenders on Cruz and Stevie we could end up with 8 picks in the first 3 rounds... imagine if KC bit on a Cruz 1st+3rd tender...
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
I agree i think the priority has to be keeping the younger players. Letting a young player with 5 good years left to keep a vet with 1 will end up killing the team. I think Reese is going to have to be the bad guy this offseason .If the Giants want to give Eli another window to win a Super Bowl before he retires he is going to have to break out the hatchet.

My Life In Crime
A personal overview of American mystery fiction
July/august 1993 | Volume 44, Issue 4
The creator of Travis McGee, boat bum and self-styled salvage expert, had an M.B.A. degree from Harvard Business School. I don't suppose that's anywhere near as weird as Wallace Stevens working for an insurance company and writing Peter Quince at the Clavier in his spare time, but it's a far cry from the way Hammett and Himes prepped for their writing careers.
It seems likely that McGee, hero of twenty-two fast-paced novels, will stand as MacDonald's greatest creation. By the time McGee made his initial appearance in The Deep Blue Goodby in 1964, MacDonald had already published some forty books, all but a handful of them paperback originals. They're almost all crime novels, and they're almost all excellent.
The French, connoisseurs of our literary dark side, don't know from MacDonald, and on reflection I can understand why. For all the ecological foreboding of the McGee books, MacDonald's vision is not on the surface noir at all. His sensibilities were always Middle American, and his characters approached difficult situations with the problem-solver attitude of an engineer. But there is a darkness to MacDonald, evident in his unparalleled ability to limn a sociopath, present too in that neglected late work One More Sunday . But it is not the knee-jerk darkness of the noir world view but the somehow bleaker darkness of a light that has failed.
Some of the late McGees are weak books, but so what? Start with The Deep Blue Goodby and read them all in order. Of the non-McGees, I have especially fond recollections of The End of the Night and One Monday We Killed Them All . Each in its own quiet way is dark enough to make noir look like a light show.
Ross Macdonald was born Kenneth Millar and wrote his first mystery novels under that name. Then he wrote one book as John Macdonald and five as John Ross Macdonald, finally dropping the "John" to avoid confusion with John D. MacDonald.
He began writing in frank imitation of Hammett and Chandler, and the early books in the Lew Archer series are markedly Chandleresque, with Archer wisecracking briskly in the Philip Marlowe mode.
With The Doomsters in 1958 and The Galton Case a year later, Macdonald came into his own and went on to write a series of books unlike anything before him. Against the background of the Southern California ecosystem in metastasis, Archer bears witness as the mills of God relentlessly exact retribution for long-past sins.
A few years ago my wife and I were in West Africa for three weeks. We had plenty of luxuries, like food and water, but nothing to read, and the only books and magazines available were in French. Then, in our hotel in Lomé, the capital of Togo, I discovered five Lew Archers, second-hand paperbacks that had been badly printed in India. The newsdealer wanted an extortionary ten dollars apiece for them, and I paid it willingly. They sustained us all the way back to JFK.
Of course we had read them all before, some of them two or three times. It didn't matter. It is one of the singular properties of Ross Macdonald's fiction that ten minutes after you have turned the last page, every detail of the plot vanishes forever from your mind. I'm sure I could reread those five books right now without much more than the faintest sense of déjà vu.
In a sense the plot of every book is much the same. A character did something reprehensible twenty or thirty or forty years ago—in the war, perhaps, or in Canada. Now things begin to fall apart, and, even as Archer rushes around trying to forestall disaster, the guilty and innocent alike are sucked down into the primordial Freudian ooze.
Wonderful books. Read any of the post-1958 Archers for a start. And don't throw it away when you're done. In a few years you'll be able to read it again for the first time.
Prohibition must have been a time of great self-discovery. Even as Americans were discovering themselves as hard and tough and cynical, and confirming this discovery in the works of Hammett and Chandler, so were many of us waking up to find ourselves clever, and rejoicing in our mental agility by working crossword puzzles, playing contract bridge, and repeating the Round Table talk of the Algonquin crowd. And by reading intricate deductive mystery novels and trying to figure them out.

text: Gender War . . . In Space!Graeme McMillan6/25/08 10:30amFiled to: RantThe Atlanticmegan mcardle27EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Okay, so we've already decided that the idea that women don't like science fiction is, well, kind of retarded. But that doesn't stop people continuing to offer advice about how to introduce the "fairer" sex to a world of speculative fiction, alien planets and metaphorical explorations into the human condition. The latest culprit? The Atlantic's economics blogger Megan McArdle. After explaining her own geek cred ("I love me some Doctor Who, some Firefly, just caught up on BSG, own two copies of the Oxford Book of Science Fiction Short Stories, have four first edition Sandmans, and really haven't emotionally come to grips with the fact that I am never going to have superpowers"), McArdle offers up tips on how to get Jane Doe to come around to geek culture: Advertisement Advertisement Those of you who pitch science fiction to wives and girlfriends who do not enjoy it are probably saying something along the following lines: "Space ships! Alien monsters! Men in tights!" Instead, for women who find that sort of thing distasteful, talk about it as a fairy tale—only a fairy tale with science instead of magic. The basic emotional space it taps is the same.That's right - Women like fairy tales, not science fiction. So make it sound like a story with princesses in it. Don't worry, she also hits the old familiar note, as well:You might also try to ease her into something with a little more human emotion and a little less space opera.I can't work out - is this some kind of self-loathing gender warfare thing, or just randomly patronizing? Maybe she only knows some crazy fairy-tale-obsessed fangirls and doesn't get out much? Don't get me wrong, I'm not going as far as some people and suggesting that Megan should be fired or anything, but still. Perhaps you should stick to the economics for awhile, Megan.

Wage Structure, Raises and Mobility: International Comparisons of the Structure of Wages Within and Across Firms
The returns to talent or performance have grown over time in developed countries. Is talent concentrated in a few firms or are firms virtual microcosms of the economy, each having close to identical distributions of talent? The data show that talent is not concentrated in a few companies, but is widely dispersed across companies. Wage dispersion within firms is nearly as high as the wage dispersion overall. The standard deviation of wages within the firm is about 80% of the standard deviation across all workers in the economy. Firms are more similar than they are dissimilar, but they are not identical: the firm mean wage displays considerable dispersion across the population of firms. There is evidence that talent is becoming more concentrated over time within some firms relative to others. In four countries that estimated wage regressions with firm fixed effects, the firm fixed effects are contributing more to the R-squared of the wage regression over time. Law firms have more lawyers than janitors. Janitorial firms have more janitors than lawyers and the differences between firms have become more pronounced. Still, the variance of wages within the average firms remains high.

After several months of consideration and discussion with local and national experts, we approved an eight-point proposal outlining suggestions to put Kentucky's public retirement system back on sound financial footing.
We looked at ways to pay down the pension debt, provide immediate relief to cash-strapped budgets and create a new pension system that is sustainable and secure.

That's why a part of best practices should include when to turn off warnings. If you know a piece of code is going to produce spurious warnings; but not cause any side effects (like the 'uninitialized' that happens all the time); and doing it the correct way gives you complaints from management that it's harder to read you can just add a local $^W immediately before the code.

The plaza was still the focus of this little town giving us an immediately warm reception. As we approached the church the main doors were shut which was the norm in all the towns. Once again we ventured around the back and into the courtyard. We passed two girls of about ten who were waiting, Violins in tow, for their daily orchestra practice. Having no luck finding our way in we ventured back to the girls and in our best spanish asked them if they could help. They giggled a lot and then ran ahead beckoning us to the Sarcristy. Their giggles soon turned to screams and fear as a huge black dog lunged towards us from the Priest's quarters. We all turned white and clung to each other. Fortuantely this awoke the priest and he came to our rescue. We were suprised to see a black priest walking towards us, the last time we had seen a black person was way back in Coroico. After a few minutes chatting he apologised and said he couldn't tell us much about the Church because he had only been in the Parish for a month. It turned out that he is orginally from Papua New Guinea and was a Franciscan Missionary. What was this Priest doing in the back of beyond in Bolivia? Unfortunately his shyness quickly took him away so we never found out his story.
However, we were replaced with a most excellent guide come Caretaker, who was an absolute sweetheart. He spent twenty minutes or so taking us around the stunning church passionately explaining how it was painted and lovingly restored. Afterwards he directed us to a nearby Artesanea that sells Chiquitano art; mainly wood carvings in the same Baroque style as those in the church. When we arrived we saw a group of men at work on huge wooden Jesus' and Marys, using skills that have been passed down from generation to generation since the Jesuit era. The art we saw was amazing and totally different to anything else we've seen on our travels. Keen to support the community and have some memoirs of our visit we purchased a couple of gems.
