Baseball Writers Brace for the End
As Newspapers Cut Back, Press Boxes Grow Lonelier; How a Venerable Institution Lost Its Way
(See Corrections & Amplifications item below.)
Baseball's independent press corps, once the most powerful in American sports, is fading. As newspapers cut budgets and payrolls, the press boxes at major league ballparks are becoming increasingly lonely places, signaling a future when some games may be chronicled only by wire services, house organs and Web writers watching the games on television.
"I certainly recognize where things are going," says Jack O'Connell, secretary of the Baseball Writers Association of America, the venerable 101-year-old membership organization for the profession. "I certainly see the dark clouds."
It's not clear how many newspaper beat writers and columnists will vanish. Some major dailies in baseball towns like Boston and New York say so long as they exist, they will never stop covering their teams. Online-only sources have filled some of the void, and independent Web sites have popped up where fans gather to comment on the games as they happen. In many ways, baseball writers are no different than other professionals whose industries are being shrunk.
But throughout the last century, baseball writers have stood above their sportswriting colleagues. When the National League needed a president in 1934, it hired former Yankees beat writer Ford Frick. When San Diego named a ballpark in 1980, it honored Jack Murphy of the San Diego Union. In some press boxes, black-and-white portraits of writers line the walls in tribute.
Their exalted status gave rank-and-file BBWAA members unusual powers, from being assured entry to clubhouses and press box seats at the World Series to electing players to baseball's Hall of Fame. After 10 years, BBWAA members are given certain perks that continue even after retirement.
The changing world was on vivid display recently at McKechnie Field in Bradenton, Fla., the spring home of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Opened in 1923 during the golden age of sportswriting, it held its first-ever night game last March -- 20 years after the lights first went on over Chicago's Wrigley Field. At a March 22 game between the Pirates and the Cincinnati Reds two writers from Pittsburgh papers were in attendance, along with two reporters from Major League Baseball's Web site. The Pittsburgh chapter of the BBWAA is down to nine members, an all time low, from 20 in 1988.
The Beaver County Times, outside Pittsburgh, has stopped covering spring training and won't cover every Pirates home game -- primarily due to finances, according to sports editor Ed Rose. To some, it's inevitable that more papers will follow suit. "We're waiting for that first domino to fall, for that first major newspaper not covering its team on the road," says current BBWAA president David O'Brien.
For some papers looking to eliminate redundancies and cut costs, baseball, with its 162-game regular season, is low-hanging fruit. Tom Jolly, sports editor of the New York Times, says it costs the Times about $6,500 a month during the regular season to have a reporter follow the team on the road. Adding spring training and a trip to the playoffs, one baseball reporter costs the paper more than $50,000 per season on top of his or her salary.
Beginning this season, the Washington Post will rely on the Baltimore Sun to cover the Orioles, while the Sun will leave its Nationals coverage to the Post, part of a broader content-sharing deal being replicated at papers around the country. The Hartford Courant quit sending a reporter on the road with the Red Sox, and the Worcester Telegram & Gazette has cut its Red Sox road presence to between 35-40 games from 70 last year. And the New York Times now sends only one person on certain road trips that in the past would have called for two, Mr. Jolly said.
Still, some major dailies are not about to take reporters off the baseball beat. The cash-strapped Boston Herald has cut its city desk by more than half in the past five years, but tinkering with Red Sox coverage "was never really an option," said Tony Massarotti, who covered the team for the Herald for nearly 15 years before moving to the rival Globe last fall. "It would be suicide, quite honestly."
Some teams and organizations say the decrease in newspaper coverage may hamper their ability to promote themselves. Mark Cuban, owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, wrote recently on his blog that to let newspapers die is a "recipe for disaster" for professional sports leagues because newspapers, however weakened, remain the leagues' best and only link to a mass audience. He said he has spoken to other sports executives about creating a league-backed "beat writer cooperative" to guarantee a minimum number of daily stories on each local team.
In Detroit, where the city's two largest newspapers recently cut home delivery to three days a week, research conducted by the local professional hockey team, the Red Wings, shows 65% of season-ticket holders get their Red Wings coverage from the printed newspaper.
One day in January after the Red Wings played the Chicago Blackhawks at Wrigley Field, both the Detroit Free Press and Detroit News ran large photos from the game on the front of their sports sections, many of which are now hung on walls in offices and homes around the city. "I don't know how we would duplicate that on our own," said Steve Violetta, the Red Wings' executive vice president of business affairs.

The Beaver County Times has decided to stop covering every Pittsburgh Pirates home game. A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that the newspaper has stopped covering every Pirates road game. The paper has not covered all the team's road games for some time.

Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., was indicted on federal charges of racketeering, soliciting bribes and money-laundering in a long-running bribery investigation into business deals he tried to broker in Africa.
The indictment handed up in federal court in Alexandria., Va., is 94 pages long and lists 16 alleged violations of federal law that could keep Jefferson in prison for up to 235 years. He is charged with racketeering, soliciting bribes, wire fraud, money-laundering, obstruction of justice, conspiracy and violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Jefferson is accused of soliciting bribes for himself and his family, and also for bribing a Nigerian official.
Almost two years ago, in August 2005, investigators raided Jefferson's home in Louisiana and found $90,000 in cash stuffed into a box in his freezer.
Jefferson, 63, whose Louisiana district includes New Orleans, has said little about the case publicly but has maintained his innocence. He was re-elected last year despite the looming investigation.
Jefferson, in Louisiana today, could not immediately be reached for comment.
Two of Jefferson's associates have already struck plea bargains with prosecutors and have been sentenced.
Brett Pfeffer, a former congressional aide, admitted soliciting bribes on Jefferson's behalf and was sentenced to eight years in prison.
Another Jefferson associate, Louisville, Ky., telecommunications executive Vernon Jackson, pleaded guilty to paying between $400,000 and $1 million in bribes to Jefferson in exchange for his assistance securing business deals in Nigeria and other African nations. Jackson was sentenced to more than seven years in prison.
Both Pfeffer and Jackson agreed to cooperate in the case against Jefferson in exchanges for their pleas.
The impact of the case has stretched across continents and even roiled presidential politics in Nigeria. According to court records, Jefferson told associates that he needed cash to pay bribes to the country's vice president, Atiku Abubakar.
Abubakar denied the allegations, which figured prominently in that country's presidential elections in April. Abubakar ran for the presidency and finished third.
The indictment does not name Abubakar. But it describes Jefferson's dealings with an unnamed "Nigerian Official A" who was a high-ranking official in Nigeria's executive branch who had a spouse in Potomac, Md. One of Abubakar's wives lived in that Washington suburb.
Court records indicate that Jefferson was videotape taking a $100,000 cash bribe from an FBI informant. Most of that money later turned up in a freezer in Jefferson's home.
In May 2006, the FBI raided Jefferson's congressional office, the first such raid on a sitting congressman's Capitol office. That move sparked a constitutional debate over whether the executive branch stepped over its boundary.
The legality of the raid is still being argued on appeal. House leaders objected to the search saying it was an unconstitutional intrusion on the lawmaking process. The FBI said the raid was necessary because Jefferson and his legal team had failed to respond to requests for documents.
Some but not all the documents seized in the raid have been turned over Justice Department prosecutors.

Volume IV. Prose and Poetry: Sir Thomas North to Michael Drayton.
§ 1. The Craft of Translation.
THE translators of Elizabeths age pursued their craft in the spirit of bold adventure which animated Drake and Hawkins. It was their ambition to discover new worlds of thought and beauty. They sailed the wide ocean of knowledge to plant their colonies of the intellect where they might, or to bring back to our English shores some eloquent stranger, whom their industry had taught to speak with our English tongue. Holland justly describes his enterprise as a conquest. He would wish rather and endeavour, says he in the preface to his translation of Pliny, by all means to triumph now over the Romans in subduing their literature under the dent of the English pen, in requitall of the conquest some time over this Island, atchieved by the edge of their sword. And, harbouring this sentiment of conquest, the translators were strongly impelled also by the desire to benefit their native land and its rulers. They had learned from the classics deep lessons of policy and statecraft, which they would impart to their queen and her magistrates. Their achievement was, indeed, the real renascence of England, the authentic recovery of the ancient spirit. That they were keenly conscious of what they were doing is clear from their dedications and their prefaces. The choice of the great personages to whom they presented their works was made with a deliberate purpose. When North and Holland asked the queens protection for their master-pieces, it was in the full hope and knowledge that Plutarch and Livy would prove wise guides unto her footsteps. Nor was it with the mere intent of flattery or applause that other translators offered the fruits of their toil to Cecil, Leicester and Christopher Hatton. They wished to give counsel where they deemed it useful. Thomas Wilson, for instance, the translator of Demosthenes, thought that every good subject should compare the present and the past; that, when he heard of Athens and the Athenians, he should remember England and Englishmen; that, in brief, he should learn from the doings of his elders how to deal with his own affairs. John Brende, who Englished Quintus Curtius, in presenting his book to the duke of Northumberland, thus explained his purpose:
There is required in all Magistrates, says he, both a faith and feare in God, and also an outward pollicie in wordly things:
whereof, as the one is to be learned by the Scriptures, so the other must chiefly be gathered by reading of histories.
Wherever you turn, you find the same admirable excuse; and, as the translators gave to England well nigh the whole wisdom of the ancients, they provided not merely grave instruction for kings and statesmen, but plots for the dramatists, and entertainment for lettered ease.
As their interest lay chiefly in the matter of their originals, they professed little desire to illustrate a theory of translation. They had neither the knowledge nor the sense of criticism, which should measure accurately the niceties of their craft. They set about their work in a spirit of sublime unconsciousness. In their many prefaces, and they delighted in prefaces, there is scarce a hint that they are pursuing a delicate art. The most of them were indifferent to, or ignorant of, Horaces maxim:
Nec verbum verbo curabis reddere fidus
though, for the best of reasons, they followed the poets liberal counsel. They would not have understood the scientific care with which Dryden presently distinguished metaphrase and paraphrase. Chapman, it is true, knew the end at which he aimed, and, in the preface to his
lucidly describes what should be the ambition of the translator:
The work of a skilfull and worthy translator, says he, is to observe the sentences, figures and formes of speech proposed in his author, his true sence and height, and to adorn them with figures and formes of oration fitted to the originall in the same tongue to which they are translated.
And one W. R., in an eloquent epistle, addressed to the translator, wittily defends Lodge against the charge that he had not parrot-like spoken Senecas own words and lost himself in a Latin echo. But both Chapman and Lodges defender wrote when the art of translation had been pursued for two generations and was falling, not unnaturally, into a habit of self-criticism. In general, the translators of the heyday were accurate neither in word nor in shape. They followed the text as remotely as they imitated the style of their originals.
I have said that North and his colleagues were inspired by a love of adventure. They resembled the pioneers of our empire also in a splendid lack of scruple. As the early travellers cheerfully seized upon the treasure of others, painfully acquired, and turned to their own profit the discoveries of Spaniard and Portuguese, so the translators cared not by what intermediary they approached the Greek and Latin texts. Very few were scholars in the sense that Philemon Holland was a scholar. Like Shakespeare, the most had little Latin and less Greek. When Thomas Nicolls, citizen and goldsmith of London, set out to translate Thucydides, he went no further than the French of Claude de Seyssel, and Claude de Seyssel made his version not from the Greek but from the Latin of Laurentius Valla. Between Thomas North and Plutarch stands the gracious figure of Jacques Amyot. Thomas Underdowne derived his
Aethiopian Historie
from the Latin of Stanislaus Warschewiczki, a Polish country gentleman, who translated the Greek of Heliodorous,
rure paterno,
in 1551. Thus Adlington, in interpreting
The Golden Ass,
was misled by
Lasne Dore
of Guillaume Michel. Thus Aristotle came into our speech through the French of Leroy, and even Bandello crossed from Italy to England by the courtly bridge of Belleforest.
The result of this careless method is that the translations of Elizabeths age (in prose, at any rate) are unsoiled by pedantry. They do not smell of the lamp; they suggest nowhere the laborious use of the pedestrian dictionary. They call up a vision of space and courage and the open air. That they are inappropriate seems no fault in them. If they replace the restraint of the classics with the colour and sentiment of romance, it is because the translators have done their work thoroughly. They have turned the authors of Greece and Rome not merely into a new language but into the feeling of another age and clime. In other words, their books carry with them the lively air of brave originals. And this natural impress is the deeper, because translation was not an exclusive craft, pursued in the narrow spirit of mere scholarship. Many of the most ingenious craftsmen were men of the world, who made their versions to beguile a leisure snatched from the conduct of affairs. Sir Thomas Hoby, who gave us
The Courtier,
was an ambassador; Danett, who put Commines in an English dress, practised the art of diplomacy loftily exemplified in his original; with a fine sense of propriety, Peter Whitehorne translated Machiavellis
Arte of Warre
when he was in Barbary with the emperor, at the siege and winning of Calibbia; Thomas North himself played his part as a magistrate in the policies of the larger world. Even those who, like Holland and Golding, adopted translating as a profession practised a style all untrammelled by the schools. The reproach of Dryden, that there are many who understand Greek and Latin, and yet are ignorant of their mother-tongue, might not be brought with justice against them. Few men of the century knew Greek and Latin. Many were masters of English, which they wrote with an eloquence and elaboration rarely surpassed.

Editor's Note: The ASM Library is located in the historic reading room of the University of Arizona's former Main Library. The article that follows gives a description of the building a few years after construction was completed in 1925.
By Estelle L. Luttrell, Librarian
The Library Journal, November 15, 1927
The new library building at the University of Arizona at Tucson was partly occupied two years ago. The decoration of the main reading room was finished and the equipment procured last spring, the heating apparatus for the stacks was not installed until the summer just past and the dedication exercises were held in the outdoor reading room and patio on October 23.
Lyman & Place, local architects, designed the building which is modern Renaissance in style. It is of steel frame construction, with reinforced concrete floors and roof slabs, the latter covered with Spanish tile in harmony with the other buildings of the University. It is a three story building of red, rug-faced brick with terra cotta trim. It covers a ground area of one hundred and ninety-five by one hundred and ten feet, and cost about $175,000 with equipment. The woodwork throughout the interior is of Mexican amapa.
Three arched doorways open into the main lobby from the front. The side walls of the lobby are finished in Italian Tavernelle claire marble with Tavernelle rose base, the floor and stairways in pink Tennessee marble tile. Two exhibition cases form insets in the front wall. To the right of the entrance is the reserved book room seating one hundred twenty-five readers; this in turn opens into an outdoor reading room, which provides for thirty additional readers. This room is well adapted to the needs of an Arizona climate, is used throughout the year, and is unique of its kind in college libraries. On the left of the entrance is a large room temporarily assigned to the law library, but intended to supply further space for the reserved books as the demand increases.
Two rooms, assigned for the present as class rooms, complete the ground floor. In the center, is the stairway leading to the loan desk and the main reading room.
The main reading room, one hundred twenty-five by forty feet is especially inviting with its nine large arched windows which look to the south, framing pictures of the surrounding mountains; its woodwork in dark tinted Mexican amapa and beamed ceiling decorated in dull, rich colors suggest an Italian court room of the sixteenth century. Bookcases around the room will shelve about eight thousand volumes. Opening from the eastern end of this room is the special reading room.
The periodical room opens from the west end. Further expansion of space for periodicals is provided for in the use of the entire west end of the second floor for this purpose. The card catalog is in a room to the right of the delivery desk and near the reading room. The delivery desk, also of Tavernelle marble, is opposite the entrance into the reading room, with doors into the stacks directly in the rear. The administrative offices and divisions for the staff are at the north-east of this same floor, the catalog room being immediately above the receiving room in the basement and connected there by an electric elevator. The basement containing three rooms and a fire-proof vault, provides an unpacking room, storage for duplicates, and a room for the ventilating apparatus.
On the third floor are the staff rooms and fifteen seminar rooms with shelves for books especially assigned to students doing advanced work. The steel stacks have five tiers connected by an electric elevator and afford space for the shelving of 225,000 books with ample ground space at the north for a stack extension. The floors of the stack are of Vermont marble, with alcoves on each tier. On the fifth tier are locked cases for valuable books, and a map case. Label holders project from the stacks into the aisles for the easy location of books. The windows lighting the alcoves down each side are of wire plate glass. Automatic fire doors safeguard against the approach of fire from the interior of the building.
The library houses at present about 69,000 volumes and contains a special collection of Arizonianna and of books by Mexican writers.
Technical equipment is provided by the Library Bureau and the stacks are by Snead and Company.

Freshman applications to University of California schools for the 2013 school year reached a record high of more than 174,700, with Latinos making up the largest portion of applicants for the first time.
All nine undergraduate campuses saw an increase in freshman applicants from the previous year, with a systemwide increase of 10.7%, according to figures released by the UC system Friday. Latino students accounted for 32%.
The number of out-of-state and international freshman applicants surged, 15% and 34% respectively, while the number of California students who applied for admission as freshmen grew by a more modest 6.2%.
"This is the ninth year of record all-time highs," said Dianne Klein, spokeswoman for the UC system. "In general, students are applying to more colleges, whether they're hedging their bets or what have you."

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- Four-time champion Martin Buser held on to the lead Saturday in Alaska's Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, but his closest chasers were gaining on him, their dogs averaging faster speeds.
Buser is hoping to be only the second musher to ever claim a fifth title in the race's 40-year-history. But plenty of competitors were hot in pursuit in the 1,000-mile race. Teams have been traveling in deep snow followed by deep overflows in a trail on the Yukon River deteriorated by above-freezing temperatures. Some stretches also were marked by glare ice.
On the seventh day of the race, Buser was first to reach the checkpoint at Kaltag, 346 miles from the finish line in the old gold rush town of Nome on Alaska's western coast. The 54-year-old veteran from Big Lake, Alaska, arrived in Kaltag with 11 dogs at 2:24 p.m. Saturday. Earlier Saturday, he dropped two dogs at the checkpoint at Eagle Island.
Last year's runner-up, Aliy Zirkle, left Eagle Island with 13 dogs more than three hours after Buser, but her team traveled faster and she came within several miles of him before stopping her team to rest in a "nice and sunny spot" on the snow-covered Yukon River eight miles before Kaltag, according to veteran musher and former Iditarod racer Sebastian Schnuelle, who is traveling along the trail and keeping a blog on the Iditarod website. Schnuelle said he encountered Zirkle when he reached her by snowmobile.
"Her dogs had just finished a meal," he wrote. "When talking to her, she told me she did not want to run longer than 8 hrs, that is why she camped."
While stopped along the trail, Zirkle of Two Rivers, was overtaken by several mushers, including 2004 winner Mitch Seavey of Seward, who arrived in Kaltag at 3:37 p.m. Seavey was followed 30 minutes later by Aaron Burmeister of Nome.
Jake Berkowitz of Big Lake came in two minutes after Burmeister. Jessie Royer of Darby, Mont., arrived at 4:24 p.m.
According to sled positioning trackers, rookie Joar Leifseth Ulsom of Roros, Norway, also had reached Kaltag.
Royer has not yet taken a mandatory eight-hour rest required at one checkpoint along the Yukon River. All the other front-runners have taken their eight-hour rest, and Royer will have to take hers at Kaltag. That's the last checkpoint before teams begin the 85-mile run to Unalakleet, where the coastal run portion starts along the wind-battered Bering Sea coast.
Everyone has to take the second eight-hour layover at the checkpoint at White Mountain, 77 miles from Nome.
Heading into Kaltag, teams chasing Buser were traveling at faster speeds than his dogs, which could mean he has to rest them longer.
The front-runners are expected to reach the Nome finish line early next week.
The Anchorage Daily News reported Saturday that a badly ailing dog had been taken from Eagle Island to Kaltag, where it was being treated and could be flown out. A race judge said she didn't know whose team the dog belonged to.
Iditarod spokeswoman Erin McLarnon did not have details about the dog and another race official could not immediately be reached for further information. Many mushers left dogs behind at Eagle Island.
Buser tried a strategy early in the race that had many competitors shaking their heads, but he was hoping it would pay off by letting him get to Nome first. On the second day of the competitive portion of the race, Buser took his mandatory 24-hour rest at the checkpoint in Rohn after a blistering fast 170-mile run that had put him hours ahead of the other teams.
Since then, all the teams have taken their 24-hour rest.
Buser said he couldn't worry about the performance of others because he had no control over that.
"You got to just run it to the best of your abilities, not what other people are doing," he said Thursday in an Iditarod.com video. "It really just comes down to you and your dog team."
The first musher to reach Nome will win $50,400 and a new 2013 Dodge Ram pickup truck. The rest of the $600,000 purse will be split between the next 29 mushers to cross the finish line.
If Buser is first to Nome, he would be the second musher ever to win the Iditarod five times, joining only Rick Swenson of Two Rivers. Swenson, who in February withdrew from this year's race, last won the Iditarod in 1991.
The race began with 66 teams at a ceremonial start in Anchorage March 2. The competitive start began Sunday in Willow. Four mushers have scratched.

The Baby Chase
From the New York Times bestselling author of Crazy Love comes a riveting new narrative about surrogate pregnancy from both sides of the equation—the parents and the gestational carrier.
Once considered a desperate, even morally suspect option, surrogacy is now sweeping headlines, transforming the lives of celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker, Nicole Kidman and Elton John, and changing the face of the American family. But how much do we really know about it? And is it really as easy and accessible – emotionally, financially, legally and physically – as magazines make it out to be? We often hear about successful outcomes, but little about the journey – about the precious hope that starts it all, the ups and downs of finding a surrogate, the heartache and obstacles, the risks and expenses at every step, or the unbelievable joy when years of determination pay off. In The Baby Chase, acclaimed writer Leslie Morgan Steiner weaves three stories together — of a nurse, a firefighter, and the Indian gestational carriers and doctors who helped them — to provide one intensely personal look at what makes surrogacy so controversial, fascinating, and in some cases, the only ray of hope for today's infertile parents-to-be.
Rhonda Wile and her husband Gerry struggled for years with infertility. With perseverance that shocked everyone around them, they tried every procedure and option available – unsuccessfully – until they finally decided to hire a surrogate. While surrogacy was being touted as a miracle for hopeful parents, for Rhonda and Gerry, it seemed an impossible and unaffordable dream. Until they came across the beaming smile of a beautiful Indian woman on the internet… and, within a few short months, embarked on a journey that would take them deep into the emerging world of Indian carriers, international medical tourism, and the global surrogacy community.
Moving, page-turning, and meticulously researched, this complex human story is paired with an examination of the issues—religious, legal, medical and emotional—that shapes surrogacy as a solution both imperfect and life-changing.
From Publisher's Weekly:
Steiner's (Crazy Love) look at surrogacy is less of a journalistic inquiry into this "most radical infertility solution" than a compassionate plea for broader acceptance of "collaborative pregnancy" and "shared motherhood." Steiner recounts the evolution of the $10 billion infertility business through the narrative of a Canadian-American couple, Rhonda and Gerry Wile, who turn to the "nascent industry" of gestational surrogacy in India, where it is not only legal to hire a woman to bear your baby, but much cheaper than in the U.S. Steiner mentions, but lightly glosses over, the many ethical, legal, and societal complications of surrogate birth in favor of stressing her emotional appeals. She describes infertility as a "crushing, soul-sucking" condition that cripples its victims with lifelong physical and psychological damage. Her portrayal of the Wiles's struggles reveals the deeply embedded cultural reverence for the power of genetics and the need for public understanding —and perhaps oversight—of this "unmapped emotional, legal, and ethical terrain." Overall, Steiner succeeds in both aims closest to her heart: to raise awareness about infertility and to share the fulfillment of the Wiles's dream to have "a baby that felt like theirs."
From Kirkus Reviews:
Steiner (Crazy Love, 2009) overlays the story of Rhonda and Gerry Wile—an Arizona nurse and firefighter whose search for children led them to surrogate pregnancy—on an emotionally heightened, journalistic overview of infertility and the options available to prospective parents.
With the help of Surrogacy India, a commercial surrogacy agency, and a mother from a Mumbai slum, the Wiles became parents after discovering they could not have children on their own. Steiner alternates between the basics of their meeting, marriage and journey toward parenthood overseas with reproductive facts, explanations of traditional surrogacy (in which another woman's egg and uterus are employed), in vitro fertilization and its early history, and gestational surrogacy (in which one woman's egg is implanted in another's womb). Noting barren women of the Bible as examples, as well as celebrities who have used IVF and surrogacy, Steiner appeals to a popular demographic to craft a personable account of the hope surrogacy can offer. This well-intended effort is hindered by dramatic comparisons, such as the turmoil of infertility being likened to the pain felt by parents whose children have been kidnapped. In descriptions of Rhonda, purple prose intrudes, as when Steiner addresses her contemplation of her desire for children, scanning the horizon "like a crime victim trying to recall an assailant's features for the precinct sketch artist," or when she learns of a neighbor's pregnancy and responds "like a rabid coyote baring its teeth." Still, the author effectively touches on the complications of surrogacy—including its economic, legal, ethical, psychological, and societal ramifications—in clear, informative ways. She also offers insights on some of the controversies, from religious perspectives to the lack of coverage for surrogacy by many insurance companies.
A brisk account of one family's determination and of a burgeoning, international solution.

Museum Hosts Event for Historic Rover Landing on August
Denver Museum of Nature & Science Features Live
NASA Coverage and Local Experts
DENVER-July 17, 2012-NASA's Mars Science
Laboratory (MSL) mission will land the
"mega-rover" Curiosity-the largest mobile spacecraft
ever launched to another planet-on Sunday, August 5. The Denver
Museum of Nature & Science is hosting an event for this
historic moment in space exploration. Visitors are invited to join
the Museum's Mars scientist, Dr. Steve Lee, and experts from
Lockheed Martin, Sierra Nevada Corporation, United Launch Alliance,
Southwest Research Institute, the Space Science Institute, and the
Museum to learn about this ambitious mission and what's in store
for the new rover.
"We are excited to be hosting a public event for the opening of
this next major chapter in Mars exploration," said Lee, the
Museum's curator of planetary science. "We hope visitors of all

Curiosity's first views of its new home on Mars!"
During its two-year mission, Curiosity will analyze
dozens of samples drilled from rocks or scooped from the ground
using an extensive payload of scientific gear. Curiosity
is about twice the size and five times as heavy as the extremely
successful twin rovers Spirit and Opportunity, which have
been on the Red Planet since early 2004. Curiosity's
target is the base of Mount Sharp, a mountain of layered rocks
rising 18,000 feet above the floor of Gale Crater. Observations of
this region from orbit by earlier Mars missions indicate liquid
water was present here at some point in the past.
Curiosity is expected to assess whether the crater has
ever had or still has environmental conditions favorable for
supporting microbial life.

British piano star joins NZSO for Gershwin special
Press Release – NZSO
Explosive British pianist Freddy Kempf and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra will perform major classics by the American legend George Gershwin in a special two-concert tour next month.
8 November 2012
NZSO Media Release for immediate release
British piano star joins NZSO for Gershwin special
Explosive British pianist Freddy Kempf and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra will perform major classics by the American legend George Gershwin in a special two-concert tour next month.
In a coup for his New Zealand fans, Freddy Kempf plays Gershwin will showcase the virtuoso and the NZSO in joyful form in Wellington on December 7 and Auckland on December 8, with a programme of sparkling jazz-inspired rhythms and eye-popping finger work.
Kempf will play three of Gershwin's four piano concertos – 'I Got Rhythm' Variations, Second Rhapsody for Piano and Orchestra and the 1924 instant classic, Rhapsody in Blue. The Orchestra completes the evening with Gershwin's An American in Paris, Bernstein's Prelude, Fugue and Riffs – a 'written-out' jazz-in-concert hall composition for jazz ensemble – and Shostakovich's Tahiti Trot, an orchestration of the memorable Tea for Two from Vincent Youmans' musical No, No, Nanette.
Freddy Kempf won hearts on his last NZSO tour in 2010, setting concert halls alight with stunning performances of Rachmaninov's notorious Third Piano Concerto. He is internationally acclaimed for his musicality and technique. According to The Telegraph, "He is prepared to take risks, a readiness that brings spontaneous combustion to his playing; but he has sensitivity too."
Freddy Kempf says Gershwin will push him to the limit, and the exuberance of the pieces will thrill the audience: "Gershwin was the first person to truly bring music to the masses. His music appeals to anybody, whether they are classically trained, or whether they've never ever heard classical music before. I hope all the listeners will feel touched, moved, excited and happy from the wonderful music he wrote".
Gershwin's compositions are among the largest-scoring in the repertoire and his works are breathtakingly difficult for the pianist. Kempf masters Gershwin's piano concertos on his CD Rhapsody in Blue, released by BIS Records earlier this year. This breath-taking recording, conducted by recent NZSO guest conductor Andrew Litton, includes all three Gershwin piano concertos featured in this exciting NZSO concert: Second Rhapsody for Piano and Orchestra, Rhapsody in Blue, and Variations on I Got Rhythm for piano and orchestra.
Guest conductor Matthew Coorey will lead the NZSO for the two-date tour. Coorey, an Australian conductor now based in the United Kingdom, has led the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, London Mozart Players, Hallé Orchestra, Seattle Symphony Orchestra, and the London Symphony Orchestra, amongst others.

By: Dr Lynda Kelly, Category: Museullaneous, Date: 12 May 2010
This is a further post on our investigations into how people are actually using social media sites. This outlines a very preliminary analysis of a survey of 1,000 Sydney adults aged over 18 years.
In May, 2010 we sampled 1,000 people living in the greater Sydney region. This online survey asked a range of questions about their museum visiting habits, interests, lifestyle, interest in exhibition topics, as well as repeating the same questions about social media that we asked our physical visitors (reported here). Note that due to a different methodology some of the questions were asked slightly differently in the online survey. Here is a very preliminary analysis of results relating to social media.
Use of social networks
Again, very few had seen the Museum's social media sites.
General use of technology
Are Sydneysiders any different to Museum visitors?
At a first look it appears that Sydneysiders in this study differed from the Museum's physical visitors in the following ways:
Are those who have visited us any different?
In this study Sydneysiders were also asked had they visited the Australian Museum in the previous 12 months. Again, a very preliminary scan of the data shows that more AM visitors had accessed YouTube and Flickr, read blogs, read tweets, have a Facebook account, visit Wikipedia and had heard of Foursquare. In short, it appears they are more engaged in the online world than those who hadn't visited the Museum. This resonates directly with our 2007 study of museum visitors generally and their online habits, again demonstrating that those who visit museums are using these tools in greater numbers and we need to account for this in everything we do.
Where now?
I'll be looking at these results in more detail across gender and age, as well as whether they had visited a museum/gallery generally. I'll also conduct some stats tests to check for significances. Watch this space (again I'm not promising anything until June!).
Thanks Zahava. The sample consisted of 1,000 respondents. In terms of education, cetainly more of those who visited the Museum had tertiary quals. I'm just back now and will be examining the data in much more detail over the next week or so.
Great to see you in the States and take care.

GARY Waddock wants answers from James Constable and Tom Newey about their futures by the end of this week.
The pair were the only players out of contract at Oxford United this summer to be offered new deals last week.
They have spent the weekend considering the terms and Waddock wants a resolution in the next few days so both parties know where they stand.
The U's head coach said: "Players will want to consider their options, which is fair enough.
"But I also have to consider what I need to do here for this club.
"If you allow it to drag on through the summer it doesn't help anybody and I would like a quick answer.
"They either want to be a part of it, or they don't, but saying that I want both of the players here."
Along with captain Jake Wright, who had an additional season clause activated by the club, Constable was the highest-profile United player out of contract this summer.
The 29-year-old is the longest-serving member of the squad, has been their top-scorer for the last six seasons and is just two goals away from becoming their all-time top marksman.
Newey was only signed last summer, but was United's first choice left back all season, making 47 starts in all competitions.
Waddock made it clear the ball was in the players' court and felt the deals were fair.
He said: "In the current climate, the salaries they've been offered are good.
"If you look at any football club now you have to be mindful of the figures you are banding about.
"It's up to the players whether they want to be a part of it.
"We've offered them contracts because we want them here, it's as simple as that."

|You are replying to: Ribs gone wrong
Topic Title: Ribs gone wrong
Created on January 6, 2013 at 05:47 PM
I did some spare ribs last night and cooked per the recipe but they were tough as could be. Where did I go wrong? I cooked them in a rack for 45 min then put them in a alum pan cover with sauce fro 45 min, they looked and smelt great but ya needed a chain saw to eat em. Grrrrrrrrrrr
Could have been the ribs themselves. Some are just better quality than others. Having said that, I have had the same experiences cooking them on the Holland in the past. Some oare great and others not so much. Ribs go in the crockpot at my house
My guess is they were not done. I like to smoke them for about an hour and then wrap in foil with a ltttle liquid such as beer or apple juice. Keep checking every 30 minutes until tender. Remove from foil and place back on grill to firm up for few minutes. Sauce at this point if yoj like your ribs sauced.
Tom Kirkman
I'm not going to assume anything because I don't know what recipe you followed, but I always use the steamer feature on the Holland when I do ribs. This lowers the temperature down to about 300F which allows the ribs to cook a little more slowly and imparts some moisture to them at the same time.
Just something you might try next time if you haven't already.
Ribs probably took me more time to perfect than anything else I've cooked.
Tom I used the Finger-lickin' Ribs recipe under the Pork section of recipes. When you use the Steamer feature how long do ya cook them? I am use to cookin them on my Lang Smoker using a 3-2-1 method but those were the first I have tried on the Holland. The 3-2-1 method is 3 hrs on cooker 2 hrs wrapped in foil and then 1 hr back on grill to dry ribs up a lil but of course that is cooking between 220 and 250.
Tom Kirkman
I do them very simply. Either use a rub, or not, and then put them on the grill. I cook until the meat just starts to pull back and expose the bones (remember, the reason the meats draws back is because it's starting to dry out).
Once I see those bone ends protruding, I apply my sauce and continue grilling for 10 or 15 minutes. Then remove and let stand for a few minutes.
I know a lot of folks do all sorts of things with aluminum foil, boiling, regrilling etc., and I'm sure they cook up some really great ribs. But I try to stay simple and just cooking them as described has turned out some pretty darn tasty ribs for me without all the extra steps.
Tom Kirkman
I forgot - once you put the rub on (if you use one) let the ribs stand for at least an hour before putting them on the grill.
My overall cooking time varies depending on the size and thickness of the ribs, but when the meat starts drawing back on the bones, I'm just about ready to eat.
I bought a Smoke Daddy Big Kahuna and installed it on the back of my Holland Grill. I like smoke, and the little tray in the front was OK, but didn't really produce a lot of smoke and sometimes wouldn't produce any. The Big Kahuna lets me use the Holland for cold smoking or great smoked barbeque.
For ribs, the way to get them very tender is long slow cooking, 200-220 degrees for 8-10 hours. You can't get that low a temperature on the Holland, but what I've found as a good compromise is to do the ribs at 200 in the oven for about six hours, then I light up the Holland and the Smoke Daddy, put some water and apple juice in the drip pan, and finish the ribs off in the smoke and 300 degree heat...generally takes a couple of hours, but they do come out tender and tasty.
I've also just put the ribs on with no oven pre-cooking. They come out very good, but not as tender.
I rub the ribs the night before or at least an hour ahead of time. Fill Holland with water/beer or water/apple juice (not too much juice/beer or you'll get a gooey mess after you drain the liquid.) Cook for an hour. Double wrap in heavy duty foil and pour sauce and a stick of melted butter on the ribs before tightly wrapping the foil. Put a meat thermometer through the foil into the ribs and cook until the internal temp is above 200°.
I always had tough baby back ribs because I was following a temp. guide that said pork is done at 180°. The key is getting the meat above 200° so that the fat and sinew breaks down. This is the key to tender, fall off the bone pork ribs.
When done, I open the foil and put the ribs directly on the grate to cook some bark on the outside. Careful not to let this part go too long.
Edit (senior moment) - got my ribs and butts mixed up. I don't fill the drip pan for the first hour of rib cooking. I wrap wet wood chips in foil an pit it in the left hand "hot gap" to smoke duing the first hour of cooking. Water and apple juice or beer is when cooking a Boston butt. Sorry.
There is a UTube video by TomKirkman1 "Ribs ON A Holland Grill" that is killer. I used the cheap .99 cents a pound FJ ribs to try it out and they came out killer. The key is cooking for 4 hrs at 275-300 degrees. Using a electronic meat probe 1" off of the grill surface and propping the grill lid up to regulate the heat to maintain that temp. If you watch his video he never props his lid up . With the lid closed on by grill and the pan full it still read 350.

Symantec is hiring JPMorgan Chase to explore its options and defend itself from activist shareholders, according to people with knowledge of the situation, as the security-technology company faces investor pressure to improve its business.
The Mountain View company plans to hire JPMorgan after interviewing banks this week, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private. Symantec has been struggling as a record personal- computer slump curbs spending on antivirus software. The company fired President and Chief Executive Officer Steve Bennett last month and its shares are down 17 percent over the past year.
"The company commonly engages financial advisers to help with the business," said Colleen Lacter, Symantec's chief communications officer. Tasha Pelio, a spokeswoman for JPMorgan, declined to comment. Reuters earlier today reported that Symantec had hired a bank.
Shares rose 1.1 percent to close at $20.25 in Friday's trading.
Symantec executives are "touching all their bases" in hiring a bank, said Steve Ashley, an analyst at Robert W. Baird & Co. in Milwaukee, Wis., who has the equivalent of a hold rating on the shares. "I'm sure activists have been looking at this thing."
Bennett had blamed Symantec's lower revenue in recent quarters on a sales-force restructuring that was meant to help restart growth and instead disrupted customer relationships. Director Michael Brown was named interim CEO while the company seeks Bennett's replacement. Bennett had replaced Enrique Salem, who was ousted in July 2012.
Symantec has faced investor pressure to break itself up since the company has both a computer-security business and a data-storage business.
While Salem was CEO, he was under pressure to sell the data-storage business, a move that would have undone a signature achievement of his predecessor, John Thompson, who is now chairman of Microsoft. Thompson headed Symantec when it got into storage with a $10.2 billion acquisition of Veritas Software in 2005. Bennett and Salem both said they wouldn't split the company.
In security, Symantec has grappled with the PC slump that has reduced demand for antivirus software that is often sold bundled with new computers. Symantec is also facing intensifying competition from companies such as FireEye and Palo Alto Networks in a market for security software and equipment that will increase 9.1 percent this year to $71.7 billion, according to Gartner.
Antivirus software, once the premier security technology, is now widely seen as incapable of catching all but the easiest- to-catch attacks as hackers have become more sophisticated. Symantec's revenue is projected to drop 3 percent this year after rising 3 percent in 2013, according to analysts' average estimate as compiled by Bloomberg.
Symantec stock initially soared under Bennett. He eliminated 1,000 jobs, or 5 percent of staff, and the honeymoon ended as sales sputtered and top executives left. In November, the company announced the departure of Francis deSouza, president of products and services, two months after Chief Financial Officer James Beer left for McKesson.

Age 1 to 2: Don't expect much
Even young toddlers can begin to learn the basics of polite behavior. Just don't expect them to fully understand—or practice—what you're teaching right now.
Make manners part of the conversation. Thinking about other people's feelings is the root of politeness, so encourage your child to do this. Explain that when you help the neighbor search for her lost keys in the playground, she feels good and so do we. Point out how kind the cashier in the supermarket is. Talking to young children about caring for others helps them absorb this value without fully understanding it.
Age 2 to 3: Civilization Dawns
At this stage, they're still operating with limited self-control, but at around 36 months, new and stronger brain activity helps improve memory, language and impulse control.
Take action. You can't expect your child to have good manners without your help. So if she has taken another kid's toy at the playground, step in and insist she return it, informing her that if she doesn't, there will be consequences. And don't say, "I'd really like you to think about giving the toy back." It's too much to expect a child to make that decision. The fact is, she doesn't have a choice in the matter, and she has to know that.
Age 3 to 5: Progress, not perfection
Preschoolers have new understanding and patience now, which means that taking turns becomes a bit easier. Decent manners can start to be a habit.
Know when to supervise. Sally Larsen, a mom of two and the owner of a kids' hair salon, has seen a lot of bad manners from both kids and parents. While kids twirl salon chairs, steal lollipops from the treat jar, and complain to stylists, too many moms read magazines or zone out. Now that your preschooler is more mischievous than ever, he needs attention from the manners police—Mom and Dad. If there's a problem, exert your parental authority.
Age 5 to 7: Manners on display
Kids this age are more able to listen to directions. At school, they're being asked to be quiet, take turns, and raise their hands. Manners will help them get along.
Maintain boundaries. While it might be tempting to tell your child that it hurt when she said your new dress was gross, don't muddy the discussion by introducing your emotional life. Instead, keep to what is and isn't acceptable. According to Diane Ehrensaft, Ph.D., author of Spoiling Childhood, "It's better to say 'It's not okay to talk to me that way.' Children hunger for, and need, your guidance."
3 easy ways to teach why manners matter
1. Use examples your child can relate to. Try "If you don't say thank you, it sounds like you're being bossy."
2. Ask how she'd feel. Sometimes a child needs to be reminded that she's not the only one who gets her feelings hurt. When she forgets to say "please" before using her brother's crayons, try asking how she'd feel if he used one of her toys without permission.
3. Avoid "Because I said so." This response won't help kids learn about caring and respect. To stop rules from seeming arbitrary, explain why the polite way is the best way in a given situation.

Yeah. I think I meant both of those.

hamburger is derived from the town of Hamburg which, we're told, has nothing to do with ham. Or does it?
The OED says ham "the thigh of a slaughtered animal" is from ham "the hollow or bend of the knee", apparently from Proto-Germanic *ham(m)- "to be crooked". Skeats derives this from the Proto-Indo-European root *kam- "to bend". Nowadays this is written as *kamp- and might be the source of gam "leg" and jamb, both from French.
Assuming that ham is from an earlier form meaning "to be crooked" or "bend", then it's tempting to say that Hamburg was named because it is a burg at the ham, or bend, of a river.
But the AHD says English ham is from Proto-Indo-European *konh₂-mo- "shin, leg, bone". In that case the Proto-Germanic form was hamma- meaning "leg", not "crooked". Although it's plausible that the "leg" sense changed to "bend" at some point, and that this sense could be the origin of Hamburg, but I'm just speculating now.
Another possible derivation is German dialectal hamm, which according to Grimm means "meadow, forest, house, yard" in Frisian and Lower Saxon.
*konh₂-mo- gives us gastrocnemius from Greek κνήμη "calf of the leg" (plus γαστήρ "belly"). gastrocnemius is the calf muscle that sticks out, like a belly.

WASHINGTON, Oct 26 (Reuters) - The Obama administration is considering a possible tax cut that would increase workers' take-home salaries and replace the payroll tax reduction set to expire at the end of the year, The Washington Post reported on Friday.
Citing sources familiar with the administration's thinking, the newspaper said the new tax reduction could add hundreds of dollars to employees' annual pay and show up in every paycheck.
The White House said no new tax policy suggestion had been formulated.
``There's no specific new proposal such as this one at this time,'' a White House official said.
``The very first thing Congress should do is the House needs to follow the Senate's lead and pass the bill the president proposed to ensure taxes don't go up on 98 percent of Americans at the beginning of next year,'' the official added.
The Post said the administration believed the economy could use further stimulus despite signs of improvement.
Obama is locked in a tight re-election battle with Republican challenger Mitt Romney in which the struggling economy is the main issue. Obama has proposed letting Bush-era tax cuts expire for the wealthy, but Romney has said tax increases would damage the economy.
The payroll tax first implemented in 2011 at Obama's request was designed to help provide people an economic cushion, but critics have questioned relying on a measure that cuts funds from the Social Security retirement system.
The Post said the Obama administration wanted to match the benefits of the payroll tax reduction without tapping into Social Security revenues.
Regardless of the election outcome, the country faces a ``fiscal cliff'' of automatic across-the-board spending cuts and tax increases for the end of the year unless the White House and Congress can strike a deficit reduction deal.
Obama told the Des Monies Register on Tuesday that he was confident that if re-elected, he would secure within six months a deficit-reduction deal with Republicans equivalent to the ``grand bargain'' he failed to achieve last year.
The goal of such a deal would be to achieve $4 trillion in deficit reduction over 10 years.

It's good to get an idea of why things happened in a game and there's no better match to start with then to break down the events that saw the Fire lose 3-0 at Columbus on Saturday.
I asked Fire assistant coach Leo Percovich to give tactical explanations on three specific instances in the match... Below are his answers.
Jeff Crandall: The team started off the game well, carrying possession before Dominic Oduro's 15th minute goal... What was the game plan to open up the match? How did it change after going down 1-0?
Leo Percovich: We knew the Crew would come with high pressure on us because they were at home desperate to get three points. We opted the first 15 minutes to play long balls from the back, fight to get possession in midfield and from there build our attacking plays.
This high pressure would create spaces behind their lines and we would look to exploit that. We created three chances and earned two corner kicks in the first 12 minutes – a great start for a team playing on the road.
The Crew's first goal was unlucky for us. Two times a rebound came for them, under a bad defensive position from our left side instead of a product of a buildup or good playmaking for Columbus which means our plan was working.
After going down 1-0 we had to keep the same idea and style of play: the whole defensive block was still playing well. Chicago is a team that is characterized by recovery after conceding a goal, the consequence was to keep the style under pressure even with a goal down.
JC: Explain the play the led to Bakary Soumare's sending off... (what went wrong?)
LP: We were attacking from our left side with Dilly Duka who tried to connect a pass to Alex, but Chad Marshall intercepted and cleared away with a lucky ball that caught us off guard.
It deflected off of Jeff Larentowicz's head, and went over Austin Berry who was tight with Jairo Arrieta at the midfield line. Jalil Anibaba was supporting the attack so he couldn't cover the ball and Sean Johnson wasn't far enough up to clear it.
This led to Baky taking the diagonal run and the risk to stop the play, and before Arrieta came into the box, he decided to committed the foul and was sent off.
JC: Talk about the difficulties of playing a man down on the road and what was the thinking behind pushing Larentowicz to center back rather than making a defensive substitution when Soumare exited?
LP: Playing with 10 forced us to stay more compact to fill and close spaces quicker, which demanded an extra effort from every player. The transition needs to be done with more precision because you have only one man as target and the rest of the players need to move forward quick to support him around the ball.
The expulsion came early in the game so we opted to keep the same 10 players, adjust them on a new tactical position and hold to the first half to see how we were doing.
We went from 4-4-2 to 4-4-1 moving Larentowicz from center mid to center back, Alex from right mid to center mid, and Mike Magee from forward to a wide midfielder, leaving just Juan Luis Anangono up top.
Not only did the tactical position need to change but also the attitude and mentality too -- you have to be more focused to attend your man and the space created for your man down.
You still have to believe you are going to find the way to come back and score the goal.

Justin Timberlake + Robin Thicke Have Top-Selling Album + Song of 2013
The best-selling album of 2013 should not come as a shock. It was Justin Timberlake's 'The 20/20 Experience,' which was his triumphant return to music. Robin Thicke's ubiquitous 'Blurred Lines' was the top-selling single of the year. Again, no surprise there!

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) There still is no word whether the nation's second-best rebounder will turn pro or return to Colorado for his senior season.
Junior forward Andre Roberson and Buffaloes coach Tad Boyle were scheduled to discuss his decision at a news conference Friday morning, but that briefing was canceled and the school said there are "currently no plans at this time to reschedule."
The deadline for non-seniors to announce their status is Sunday.
Roberson led the Pac-12 with an 11.2-rebounding average to go with his 10.9-point scoring average and helped the Buffaloes reach their second straight NCAA tournament for the first time in a half-century.
At 210 pounds, Roberson lacks the size of prototypical rebounders but makes up for it with his leaping ability and skills around the basket.

Check Your Symptoms
Feeling worried or nervous is a normal part of everyday
life. Everyone frets or feels anxious from time to time. Mild to moderate
anxiety can help you focus your attention, energy, and motivation. If anxiety
is severe, you may have feelings of helplessness, confusion, and extreme worry
that are out of proportion with the actual seriousness or likelihood of the
feared event. Overwhelming anxiety that interferes with daily life is not
normal. This type of anxiety may be a symptom of another problem, such as
Anxiety can cause physical and
emotional symptoms. A specific situation or fear can cause some or all of these
symptoms for a short time. When the situation passes, the symptoms usually go
Physical symptoms of anxiety include:
Anxiety affects the part of the brain that helps control how
you communicate. This makes it harder to express yourself creatively or
function effectively in relationships. Emotional symptoms of anxiety
Anxiety disorders occur when people
have both physical and emotional symptoms. Anxiety disorders interfere with how
a person gets along with others and affect daily activities. Women are twice as
likely as men to have problems with anxiety disorders. Examples of anxiety
disorders include panic attacks, phobias,
obsessive-compulsive disorder, and
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Often the cause of anxiety disorders is not known. Many people with an
anxiety disorder say they have felt nervous and anxious all their lives. This
problem can occur at any age. Children who have at least one parent with the
diagnosis of depression are more than twice as likely to have an anxiety
disorder than other children.
Anxiety disorders often occur with
other problems, such as:
panic attack is a sudden feeling of extreme anxiety or
intense fear without a clear cause or when there is no danger. Panic attacks
are common. They sometimes occur in otherwise healthy people. An attack starts suddenly and usually lasts from
5 to 20 minutes but may last even longer, up to a few hours. You have the most
anxiety about 10 minutes after the attack starts.
Symptoms include feelings of
dying or losing control of yourself, rapid breathing (hyperventilation), numbness or tingling of the hands or lips, and a racing heart. You may feel
dizzy, sweaty, or shaky. Other symptoms include trouble breathing, chest pain
or tightness, and an irregular heartbeat. These symptoms come on suddenly and
without warning.
Sometimes symptoms of a panic attack are so
intense that the person fears he or she is having a
heart attack. Many of the symptoms of a panic attack
can occur with other illnesses, such as
coronary artery disease, or
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A
complete medical examination may be needed before an anxiety disorder can be
People who have repeated unexpected panic attacks and
worry about the attacks are said to have a
panic disorder.
Phobias are
extreme and irrational fears that interfere with daily life. People with
phobias have fears that are out of proportion to real danger. And although
these people are aware that their fears are not rational, they are not able to
control them.
Phobias are common and are sometimes present with
other conditions, such as panic disorder or
Tourette's disorder. Most people deal with phobias by
avoiding the situation or object that causes them to feel panic (avoidance
A phobic disorder occurs when the avoidance behavior
becomes so extreme that it interferes with your ability to participate in your
daily activities. There are three main types of phobic disorders:

Melendres v. Sheriff Joseph Arpaio
The absence of federal comprehensive immigration reform has led to increased cases of racial profiling by law enforcement, as local officers see fit to take enforcement of federal immigration law into their own hands because of frustration with federal immigration enforcement. In Arizona, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his deputies have gained a national reputation for targeting Latinos and unlawfully detaining, questioning, and arresting them for the sole purpose of investigating their immigration status, in violation of federal law. As a result, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office's (MCSO) rampant racial profiling has created a culture of fear in Maricopa County among the Latino community, citizens and non-citizens alike.
On behalf of a class of U.S. citizen and legally present Latinos who have been unlawfully racially profiled and questioned about their immigration status, MALDEF brought a lawsuit against Sheriff Arpaio, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, and Maricopa County for exceeding his authority to enforce immigration law in violation of his MOU agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under §287(g). Additionally, MALDEF alleges that the patterns and practices of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office violates the plaintiffs'' rights under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and several provisions of the Arizona Constitution.
The case was filed on July 16, 2008 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona along with the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Arizona, and lead counsel Steptoe & Johnson LLP. In February 2009, the federal court in Arizona denied the motion to dismiss, granting the case to move forward.
The lawsuit seeks to ameliorate the harmful atmosphere of fear and distrust that the Sherriff's Office has created in the community by putting an end to racial profiling in Maricopa County, and to enjoin the Sheriff and his deputies from continuing to exercise their authority in excess of what has lawfully been delegated to them by federal immigration authorities.
