San Francisco, CA--The Center for WorkLife Law at UC Hastings College of the Law has been awarded a $40,000 grant from Washington Center for Equitable Growth.
The Center is one of fifteen grantees that received support from Equitable Growth's inaugural year of grantmaking. The grant will help in continuing the mission of the Center for WorkLife Law to advance women's economic rights.
The Equitable Growth grant provides support for the Center's "Schedule Stability for Hourly Workers" project. Funds will support an in-depth analysis of the scheduling practices at the global retailer The Gap, Inc. The Center will widely publish its findings from the project to help inform employers about how scheduling practices impact productivity, absenteeism and turnover. The project's findings have the potential to benefit thousands of low-income, hourly workers by increasing their economic stability and upward mobility.
"With this important partnership and support from Washington Center for Equitable Growth," says Center for WorkLife Law Director Professor Joan C. Williams, "we will be able to help low-income workers nationwide make their way out of poverty by providing them with stability in their jobs. Stable employment for a low-income, single mother means her children are less vulnerable and have more opportunities to reach their potential."
Washington Center for Equitable Growth is a new research and grantmaking organization founded to accelerate cutting-edge analysis into whether and how structural changes in the U.S. economy, particularly related to economic inequality, affect growth.

I probably owe you an email.*
Readercon is coming up -- July 9-12. I'll be there Friday afternoon and most of Saturday. The great and glorious Liz Hand and Greer Gilman are guests of honor. The other guests ain't too shabby neither. Except for that Cheney guy. He's a putz.
Some things I've noticed out on the internets:
- Hal Duncan wrote a little post at his blog about ethics, reviewing, criticism, etc. A few people commented. Hal wrote another little post responding in particular to comments by Abigail Nussbaum and me. Then another related post on "The Absence of the Abject". And then two posts on "The Assumption of Authority" (one, two). They're wonderfully provocative and wide-ranging essays, but as the whole is now over 20,000 words long, I haven't been able to keep up with it. But I shall return to it over the course of the summer...
- Jeff VanderMeer has been working for what sounds to me like one of the coolest teen camps in the world, Shared Worlds, and as part of that asked a bunch of writers and other creative-type people, "What's your pick for the top real-life fantasy or science fiction city?"
- I accompanied Eric Schaller and family to a magnificent concert by David Byrne a few weeks ago. Byrne's earnest dorkiness has been a balm to my soul since I was a kid. He's been on The Colbert Report a couple of times in support of his tour -- here, performing one of my favorite of his new songs, "Life is Long", and here performing "One Fine Day" (in which everybody seems a bit tired). The Colbert studio isn't quite Radio City Music Hall, but still...
- Tor.com has, in less than a year, become one of the best science fiction sites, and they've now launched a store that includes "special picks" from their great array of bloggers. (And, interestingly, though the site is allied with Tor Books, it's striven to be, as they say, "publisher agnostic", so it's not just about Tor's books.)
- Speaking of major SF sites, I enjoyed Charlie Jane Anders's post at io9 titled "4 Authors We Wish Would Return to Science Fiction" because it includes new comments from each of the four writers discussed: Mary Doria Russell, Nicola Griffith, Karen Joy Fowler, and Samuel R. Delany.
- I really loved Jeff Ford's post on the books he survived in primary and secondary school English classes.
- I seem to have written yet another Strange Horizons column.
Lest Darkness Fall is, as many people through the decades have said, great fun, a kind of Connectic Yankee for readers who want their protagonists to be endlessly resourceful, optimistic, and lucky.
Somewhere in there, I also fit in Jack Vance's Emphyrio, an engaging example of a certain sort of classic ethnographic science fiction, something halfway between Lloyd Biggle and Ursula Le Guin.
I did a bunch of that fun, light reading because on the side I've been delving deeply into various books about British and American colonialism and imperialism for a story I keep telling myself I'm going to write: a steampunk alternate history about a mad scientist, a U.S. and British fight over Nicaragua at the beginning of the 20th century, and the atrocities it all leads to. Among the various books I've been dipping into for my researches are Colonialism and the Emergence of Science Fiction by John Rieder, The Tools of Empire: Technology and European Imperialism in the Nineteenth Century by Daniel Headrick, The Shock of the Old: Technology and Global History since 1900 by David Edgerton, Confronting the American Dream: Nicaragua under U.S. Imperial Rule by Michel Gobat, The Eclipse of Great Britain: The United States and British Imperial Decline, 1895-1956 by Anne Orde, The Sleep of Reason: Fantasy and Reality from the Victorian Age to the First World War by Derek Jarrett, Imperial Leather: Race, Gender, and Sexuality in the Colonial Contest by Anne McClintock, as well as such books of their time as Winston Churchill's My African Journey (pointed out to me by Njihia Mbitiru, who's been a big help in goading me on to write this story that I keep talking about) and The Ethiopian: A Narrative of the Society of Human Leopards. Also a couple of books I've been familiar with for a while, Histories of the Hanged: The Dirty War in Kenya and the End of Empire by David Anderson and Imperial Reckoning: The Untold Story of Britain's Gulag in Kenya by Caroline Elkins.
Clearly, I don't want to write a story -- I want to write an annotated bibliography!
Now, though, it's time to stop procrastinating and get back to work...
*Speaking of email, I've severely neglected the email address once associated with this blog (themumpsimus at gmail) because it became massively overloaded with spam (partly because I had redirected some ancient addresses at it) and sometime at the beginning of this year I made a resolution to clean it out, find real messages I'd missed, etc. I removed the link to it from this site so that people wouldn't inadvertently use it, but I expected to get it back up and working within a week. Then I kind of kept procrastinating. Every time I thought about it I suffered trauma. Now cleaning out and organizing the inbox is such a Herculean task that I may just give up and start over with a new, clean address. I don't know. I will fight through my anxieties and figure it out soon, though.

An Iowa State University professor was forced to resign from his post this week after he fudged a clinical trial to make rabbit blood appear to neutralize HIV, with millions in federal research dollars at stake.
The subterfuge by assistant professor of biomedical sciences Dr. Dong-Pyou Han came to light after a joint investigation by the university and the Department of Health and Human Services. That investigation came about because Han's research—bankrolled with part of $19 million in grants from the National Institutes of Health—showed some promise in ending the global AIDS epidemic, according to the Ames Tribune:
Dr. James Bradac, who oversees AIDS research for the National Institutes of Health, said Han's initial findings, developed with support from the first two grants, were a "unique discovery."
"The serum from the rabbits made neutralizing antibodies that could neutralize HIV," Bradac said.
He said the NIH sent the serum to another lab which confirmed the findings...
"It was during their quality control that they did some tests and determined the rabbit serum contained human antibodies," Bradac said.
That healthy human blood had falsely made the rabbit blood appear to be effective in fighting AIDS. "This doesn't happen very often," Bradac told the Trib. "I've been with the NIH for 24 years and it's the first case I've seen in the AIDS research field."
So what's the penalty for taking taxpayer money and pretending to cure AIDS? Han "was removed from his employment at Iowa State and the affidavit he signed said he would not be permitted to ask for research support for several years," Bradac said. He also "agreed to exclude himself from any federal contracts for the next three years or to serve in any advisory capacity with the U.S. Public Health Service." We expect big things out of him in 2017, though.
Am I the only one that sees a pattern here.

YAKIMA, Wash. – A spokesman for Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden says the senator will ask the Government Accountability Office to investigate a monitoring and maintenance program for underground waste tanks at the nation's most contaminated nuclear site.
The request follows news Friday that six tanks at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation are leaking.
Wyden toured the site Tuesday after it was announced last week that one tank was leaking. His spokesman, Tom Towslee, said Friday that the senator would seek the investigation following the announcement of more leaking tanks.
Wyden is the new chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. He has said he'll seek a commitment during confirmation hearings for the next energy secretary that all radioactive waste at Hanford will be cleaned up.

Latest news coverage includes radio interview with Marc Steiner, in-depth profile of Prudence by Sun film critic
Posted 04.20.10 by MICA Communications
Music by Prudence, a documentary short subject film co-produced by Patrick Wright, chair of MICA's video and film arts department, has won an Oscar, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced March 7. The film follows the lives of eight physically disabled young Zimbabweans who play in the Afro-fusion band, Liyana. It aired on HBO2 beginning on Wednesday, May 12.
After winning, Wright said, "I'm speechless. I'm ecstatic. I never really thought we could win an Oscar about a beautiful singer from a broken country."
The Maryland Film Festival screened Music by Prudence during two evenings with a Q&A with Prudence Mabhena, who is featured in the documentary, Wright and director Roger Ross Williams on Friday, May 7 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, May 9 at 5 p.m. Details and updates are available on the festival's Web site here.
Wright, who also was the associate editor for Music by Prudence (iThemba Productions Inc.), obtained seed funding for the documentary through MICA's Office of Research. Errol Webber Jr. '08 was one of Music by Prudence's cinematographers. He shot the film less than two weeks after his graduation from the College, making him the youngest cinematographer ever to shoot an Oscar-winning (or -nominated) film. Matt Davies '09 worked extensively on sound post-production after interning on the project with several other of Wright's students.
• VIDEO: Watch HBO's trailer.
• VIDEO: Williams thanked MICA and Wright on the Oscars' Thank You Cam and the Larry King Live show.
• VIDEO: Webber visited MICA and described his Oscar experience in an interview.
• READ: More media coverage links can be found at the bottom of this Web story.
Wright became a filmmaker because he wanted to learn, to venture out of himself and his narrow slice of reality, to expand his vision and to translate it for others. He has made films on HIV/AIDS, clergy sexual abuse and a profile of Ann Coulter, one of the most controversial political commentators of our day. He has produced a number of documentary shorts, many of which have exhibited in fine arts galleries throughout the United States, including Artist's Space in New York City.
Wright was originally hired in MICA's photography department with a mandate to develop a video major, which came to fruition in 2003. The department now has many undergraduate majors who produce video works in a wide range of forms, from narrative to documentary, experimental to installation work, and motion graphics to Web-based multi-media projects.
The field of Documentary Short Subject contenders for the 82nd Academy Awards was narrowed from 37 eligible entries to eight films in October, and then further narrowed to five finalists, including Music by Prudence, in February.
(In approximate chronological order) Wright was interviewed about the Oscar nomination by The Baltimore Sun and International Documentary Association. Wright and Webber discussed the nomination in a second story by the Sun and on WYPR-88.1 FM's Maryland Morning with Sheilah Kast. The Sun covered Music by Prudence in a third story after the award was announced; so did Jamaica Gleaner News. The documentary's inclusion in the Maryland Film Festival has been covered on the Sun film critic's blog, WYPR-88.1 FM's The Signal and WEAA-88.9 FM's The Marc Steiner Show, and in Urbanite, while the South Orange Patch, Wright's hometown New Jersey paper, profiles him; and several Zimbabwean newspapers, including The Zimbabwean, featured Mabhena's visit to the United States for the premiere.
Founded in 1826, Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) is the oldest continuously degree-granting college of art and design in the nation. The College enrolls nearly 3,500 undergraduate, graduate and continuing studies students from 49 states and 52 countries in fine arts, design, electronic media, art education, liberal arts, and professional studies degree and non-credit programs. With art and design programs ranked in the top ten by U.S. News and World Report, MICA is pioneering interdisciplinary approaches to innovation, research, and community and social engagement. Alumni and programming reach around the globe, even as MICA remains a cultural cornerstone in the Baltimore/Washington region, hosting hundreds of exhibitions and events annually by students, faculty and other established artists.

Kcal ??? Fat ??? Fat(sats) ??? Carbs ???
The summer sun may not be shining quite yet, but Hotel Chocolat have already launched their seasonal range. To celebrate my 1000th product review on this site, a few weeks ago I asked you guys the question 'what four slabs comprise the Hotel Chocolat Summer Peepster Selection Box'. Just as so many of you answered, the correct answer was of course 'Tutti Fruitti, Eton Mess, Cookie Creme & Banoffee', and it has now come round to the time that they all have a crack at the ChocolateMission rating system. ChocolateMission addicts will know that last year I reviewed the Tutti Fruitti Giant Slab - to read that review See HERE. Today it was the turn of the Eton Mess Slab, which came described as 'a timeless summer favourite, with strawberry and vanilla chocolate, cookies, meringue and strawberry pieces'.
This slab came portioned in a 100.0g single piece that I shared amongst a few willing taste testers aka my family. It has been a while since I had one of Hotel Chocolat's Peepster Selections but the presentation was every bit as good as I could remember, and the exterior cream and lime coloured cardboard packaging cut a fitting fresh and summery look. Additionally I thought the Eton Mess slab looked every bit as wonderful - with the two tone white and red colour chocolates magnificently decorated by the pieces of meringue, dried strawberries and cookies that lined the surface. Whilst looking the part, the slab also smelt gorgeous, with a waft of fruit and cream rooted scents emerging once the plastic packet was opened.
My expectations of this slab were sky high given the quality of the presentation and the evident smell, but I was most hopeful due to my previous experiences with Hotel Chocolat's Eton Mess truffles (See HERE). Transferring the elegance of those individual chocolates, to this slab was going to be no easy task, but I am glad to say Hotel Chocolat did a cracking job. Hearing the words strawberry white chocolate always gets the alarm bells ringing in my head, as it is very common that the mixture of the sugary chocolate and sweet fruit and can prove to be a little too much. This consequence was nicely avoided here, as the vanilla flavoured white chocolate had a fluent, cream based taste that had just a touch of a yoghurty tang to it. This yoghurt like influence nicely contrasted with the red berry sweetness of the strawberries, which came through in the taste as a very genuine fruity influence. The realness of the strawberry flavours were of course helped no end by the pieces of frozen dried fruit placed on the top of the slab, which alongside the meringue and cookie pieces created a pleasant crunchy element within the smooth, thick melting chocolate base. Shared amongst three other family members, a third of a slab in a sitting was just about the right amount to provide what I felt was a plentiful serving.
Overall this was a product that not only encapsulated that summer feeling perfectly, but also proved to be a great tasting chocolate. During the summer I like my chocolates on the lighter side (i.e. not heavy dark chocolates!), so nicely balanced fruity, white chocolates are very much the thing that are in order. In terms of meeting this criteria Hotel Chocolat are completely on the money with this Eton Mess Slab. The white base was devilishly creamy and not too sweet, whilst the strawberry element was incorporated well, and in a non-artificial tasting manner. In terms of the meringue and the chocolate cookie pieces, neither created a great impression on the taste, however they did bring enjoyable variances texture wise, and they certainly added colour and intrigue when it came to visual impact. I probably needn't say this as it must be blindingly obvious, but I would very much recommend this slab for white chocolate and strawberry lovers - the summer has arrived!

Grilled Aged Cheddar Cheese Sandwich with Pistachio Sage Pesto
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I hate throwing away ingredients. Plain hate it. So when I had three bushels of sage and a large container of shelled pistachios in the pantry, I knew something delicious could be created. I put my husband to work de-shelling all the pistachios (the dirty work) and within minutes I had this delicious pesto. It was a cold November day and all we wanted was some comfort food, so we slathered some sourdough with the pesto and topped it with a sharp, aged cheddar. The perfect combination and definitely a nap worthy treat! —Emily Weinberger
Makes: 1 cup pesto, 4 sandwiches
For the Pesto
cups sage
cloves garlic
cup shelled pistachios
1 1/2
tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
cup olive oil
For the Sandwiches
slices of your favorite sourdough bread
tablespoon pistachio sage pesto
teaspoons applesauce
pound sharp, aged cheddar cheese, sliced
tablespoon butter
- For the Pesto: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the first 4 ingredients. Pulse until well blended. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while the processor is running. Season to your liking.
- For the Sandwich: 1. On one piece of bread, spread the pesto in an even layer using a knife or spoon. Spread the applesauce on top of the pesto. Lay the cheese on top on the spreads. Top with another slice of bread. Spread 1/2 tsp butter on the top slice of bread. Repeat this for the remaining three sandwiches.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat and add the remaining butter to the pan. Once the butter is sizzling, place the non-butter side of the sandwich in the pan. You may need to do this two at a time. It is important to not over crowd the pan.
- Heat for 5-6 minutes on one side until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Using a spatula, flip the sandwich to the other side and press down with spatula. Heat for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and the cheese has been completely melted.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

Commission on Health and Safety and Workers' Compensation

California Commission on Health and Safety and Workers' Compensation Releases
Study on Identifying Risky Opioid-Prescribing Practices and Guidelines
OAKLAND -- The Commission on Health and Safety and Workers' Compensation (CHSWC) is pleased to announce that the DRAFT report "Identifying Risky Opioid Prescribing Practices" and a related DRAFT Memo "Evaluation of Opioid Prescribing Guidelines Using AGREE II" have been released for posting and public comment.
In California and nationally, policymakers and individual physicians are striving to attain an elusive goal: balancing adequate pain control while minimizing the risk associated with prescription pain medication. Overdoses due to prescription opioid medication are leading to an increasing number of emergency department visits. The report assesses screening for higher-risk prescribing practices within the workers' compensation system, as well as information on opioid prescribing that can be used to inform the development of screening criteria for assessing opioid- prescribing risk. The ten-page memo summarizes additional evaluation of guidelines for the use of opioids to treat pain that were not included in the main report.
CHSWC, created by the workers' compensation reform legislation of 1993, is charged with examining the health and safety and workers' compensation systems in California and recommending administrative or legislative modifications to improve their operation. CHSWC was established to conduct a continuing examination of the workers' compensation system and of the state's activities to prevent industrial injuries and occupational diseases and to examine those programs in other states.
Information about CHSWC is available at www.dir.ca.gov/chswc and draft reports can be found at http://www.dir.ca.gov/chswc/PublicCommentsAndFeedback.html. Information may also be obtained by writing to CHSWC at 1515 Clay Street, 17th Floor, Oakland, California, 94612; by calling (510) 622-3959; by faxing a request to (510) 622-3265; or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Genius 700 & 900 reviewed
The 2014 Genius 700 and 900 series were reviewed by the most important Mountain Bike Magazines in the business. Check out what the editors wrote.
VeloNews, Genius 700 Series: "The 2014 Genius lineup has seen some updates, the most significant of which is the rear shock, which is now a proprietary collaboration between Scott and Fox, the Nude CTCD. Like the 2013 model's DT Swiss shock, three compression-damping and volume-control settings are adjusted in tandem with the fork, using an unsightly Twinlock handlebar lever: full air volume with open damping circuits, reduced travel/increased compression damping, and locked out.We went into Scott's 2014 press launch with a good idea of what to expect from the "tweener" wheel size, having ridden a 2013 Genius 720 as a de-facto project bike.The Genius 900 Premium felt different immediately. As we climbed away from Deer Valley's base on a punchy piece of singletrack, it was easy to imagine bringing this 130mm 29er to a 50-miler or even a rough XC race. After locking it out and throttling a few steep pitches, the prospect of tying on a number was downright realistic.Thankfully, the Genius didn't behave like a race bike on descents. While the Fox 32 fork wasn't quite as stout as the 34, and the triple chainring was a bit of a nuisance, the 900 held its own. The RockShox Reverb seatpost helped put us in the right state of mind, as did the 69-degree head angle when the frame's Mono "U" Link was in low setting.(…)The bikes share fit, components, and graphics, but the smaller wheels, slacker geometry, and longer travel make the 700 noticeably poppy, playful, and precise.(…)After riding 29-inch and 27.5-inch wheels back to back on the Genius platform, Scott's approach makes sense. Between the 900 and 700, Scott has most riders covered."

Bike FRA, Genius 700 Premium: "Truly a premium bike. In uphills and long flat sections, the Genius takes full advantages of its lightness. It offers a better performance, a guarantee of an increased pleasure.(...) Its lightness allows to place the bike perfectly and to change your trajectory effortless."
Source: Bike France Oct 2013
MountainBIKE, Genius 710: "On the trail, the Genius truely rides like a genuine agile trail bike, a pure pleasure. Along with its new Fox suspension and due to its rather long rear triangle, the Genius offers superb stability while still being agile thanks to ist 68 degree angle. (...) There is no lighter bike in our test field, which makes it a true easy rider in uphills. Also in the downhills, the Genius charges. Crossing high alpine terrain? Here is your bike!"
Source: MountainBIKE 01/14
What Mountain Bike, Genius 700 SL: "The Flagship 650b bike is a showcase of Scott's state-of-the-art carbon magic. (…) The Genius is a sensational performer. The frame is as light as most race bikes but stiffer than most all-mountain machines. That and its sorted geometry make it a great showcase for the advantages of 650b wheels, and given the carbon-saturated spec list the price could actually – yes, really – be seen as good value."
DIRTRAG Magazine, Genius 900 Premium: "I spent several months aboard a 2013 Scott Genius 920 that we reviewed alongside it's 27.5 sibling. I had trouble getting the suspension to play nice so I was eager to see how it compared to the previous DT Swiss version. All I need to say is the difference is night and day.Even in the Descend mode, the bike pedals extremely well—a significant improvement over the previous version. A flick of the Twin-Loc lever, with a much-improved action, engages the more progressive shock setting and drops the travel from 130mm to 90mm. Though I've really been enjoying 27.5 wheels lately, the Genius 29er felt much more capable on the fast and chunky trails at Deer Valley.The Genius 900 series strikes me as a stay-on-the-ground type of bike, prioritizing efficiency and capability over gettin' rad. Maybe it was the larger wheels, the longer wheelbase, or just my familiarity with the geometry, but I would not hesitate to recommend it as a single-bike, do-it-all option."
Source: DIRTRAG Magazine
DIRTRAG Magazine, Genius 700 Tuned: "One new highlight this year is the 27.5-only Tuned version, which is Scott's take on an in-house works edition built for pro-level enduro racing. Think of it as an AMG Mercedes or an M-Series BMW. Not only are all the high-zoot parts included, every gram is counted. (...) On the trail the 150mm travel Genius 700 Tuned is an incredible machine, at just 23.32 lbs. it can hustle like an XC bike when you want it too. The Twin-Loc lever was really in its element on this platform, giving it a real Jekyll and Hyde personality at the flick of a switch."

Tim Harris Bio - JBU Graduate Studies
Tim Harris, MS, John Brown University
Tim Harris loves bringing old things back to life. Whether a vintage motorcycle, a classic Coca Cola vending machine, or an antique telephone, Tim has learned to not give up on an object's usefulness or value too soon.
He's applied this philosophy to his own life as well. While Tim is not exactly an "antique," he almost let his age hold him back from pursuing something new: a Master of Science degree in Leadership and Ethics at John Brown University.
As an employee of a Fortune 500 company in Bentonville, Arkansas, for the past 18 years, Tim has proven himself a capable and recognized leader in management. He has thrived there, most recently accepting a promotion from Regional Manager in Transportation to Senior Director for Pharmacy Logistics. Clearly, Tim did not need another academic degree to qualify him for advancement.
But for the same reason he likes to restore and preserve things of value, Tim is eager to enhance his own service in the world. "Ethical behavior has always been important to me, mainly because of my upbringing in a Christian home. Corporations have not acted in the most ethical manner over the past few years and many scandals have been exposed."
Tim determined to do everything he could to promote ethical behavior in the workplace. So when he heard about JBU's master's degree program in Leadership and Ethics, he felt compelled to go back to school and learn more about the subject.
The result is a broader perspective, the ability to make changes in the workplace, and greater courage to accept new challenges and opportunities for growth…proving that it's never too late to learn something new.
"I thought I was too old to bother [with a masters degree]," Tim says. "I'm so happy that I didn't let age hold me back because it is done now, and I'm better for the experience."

My funniest travel moment was when I travelled to Siberia with a group of friends. Siberia is home to huge 'ice slides', the size of roller coasters but akin to bob sleigh tracks. My other half and his friends drunk one too many vodkas one night (when in Siberia…) and decided it was worth a go.
The guy who climbed the ladder to the slide first lost his nerve and came to a sudden stop at the top. The men all fell backwards on top of one another, which was funny in itself, but undeterred they tried once again. For some reason they all decided to slide down together at the same time - there was a lot of giggling then, "One, Two, arrrrgh" as they all went flying down the slide in a bundle of arms and legs. They landed in the snow at the other end in fits of hysterical laughter - that taught them to behave!
Because of this, I always take my camera and my journal with me when I travel. Whilst memories can fade, you can't beat your own cracking shots and personal anecdotes to re-kindle the fire you felt when you were there.

LOWER EAST SIDE — The irony of using a basement to sell gourmet picnic baskets doesn't escape Wendy Weston.
"This place was just perfect, and an underground picnic is funny," said Weston, owner of the sandwich shop Perfect Picnic, of her just-opened space at 123 Ludlow St., where customers enter through an open sidewalk grate and down a flight of stairs.
"I always have a sense of humor about everything."
Perfect Picnic's bunker gives the Lower East Side business a brick-and-mortar space to pack orders of to-go picnic lunches, while also providing a few tables and chairs for those in search of a quick indoor snack of sandwiches or a cheese and charcuterie platter.
The store opened after Perfect Picnic's online delivery model debuted to New Yorkers in June of last year, with the concept of sending prepared picnic lunches ideal for an outdoor feast to hungry customers.
"I feel like I am constantly in search of that perfect bite," said Weston, 42, who will have a regularly changing menu at the Ludlow street basement shop, which opened Thursday.
The current selections of mini-baguettes, which sell for $6 each, include ingredients like fresh goat cheese, jam, surryano ham and chives. Along with cheese and meat platters, Weston is also hoping to add bring-you-own-booze for customers in the future.
For Weston, the thin staircase leading down to the tiny and rustic-looking 200-square-foot space — featuring exposed brick, wooden chairs and shelves filled with chutney — brings her back to the Italian vacation that first inspired her to launch the business.
"If you were only to look, you would think you were on the Amalfi Coast of the Lower East Side," said Weston, a 15-year Lower East Side resident, of her new space.
Perfect Picnic has already found success in providing large picnic orders for weddings and corporate clients, or a simple date for two. Most of those orders come via telephone or online and are often delivered to the picnickers directly.
"We want to change the way Americans eat on the run," said Weston, who is hoping to eventually franchise the business in other cities.
When Perfect Picnic first started last year, it had a summer pop-up shop at 9 Clinton St., and it struck up a partnership with a deli on Cherry Street this past summer for a location to prepare its meal packages.
For instance, a classic European-style picnic — including cold meats, cheeses and condiments — is $32 and comes in a tote bag. The American-style picnic, with a mini baguette, gourmet potato chips and flat or sparkling water, is $14 per person.
Weston struck up a culinary partnership with private chef Prue Barrett, who will work with her on the constantly changing sandwich offerings, as well as developing a line of chutney and jam.
While the hours are not yet set in stone, Weston is planning to open for lunch 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday, and for dinner from 6 p.m. to 12 a.m. Friday through Saturday.

Any loyal Valentino Rossi fan knows that The Doctor is an avid four-wheel driver. Testing everything from Rally to Formula 1, many think that Rossi will go to the four-wheel world after his time in the two-wheeled world is done. Which series that could be is up for contention (we very much doubt it will be in the Australia V8 cars though), though the name NASCAR might have to be added to the list.
Fresh off Sunday's Grand Prix of the Americas, Monster Energy gave Rossi a chance to lap with Kyle Busch's 650hp Toyota race car at the 1.5-mile Charlotte Motor Speedway. Though Rossi started out slow, he ultimately set some impressive numbers (what would have been a Top 15 in the Nationwide Series practice at Charlotte). Of course, it helps when you have the one of the most successful NASCAR drivers in the series giving you track notes and talking in your ear over the radio.


text: An arrest has been made in the male-on-male sexual assault case that took place on Aug. 15, 2010 around the southwest part of Sweetwater. Aubrey Phillip Childers, 23, of Sweetwater, was arrested on Monday, Dec. 27, as he was being processed out of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.According to Lt. Randy Hanes with the Sweetwater Police Department, DNA evidence was obtained at the scene of the crime and evidence was gathered for a warrant to obtain DNA from the suspect. A DNA sample was taken from Childers after he was arrested for a parole violation. The DNA was then sent to the Lubbock Department of Public Safety Laboratory for testing. "We sent the DNA sample to the lab by the end of August and asked the lab to expedite the evidence and received the results in just a few weeks," said Detective Sam Cunningham with the Sweetwater Police Department, the lead detective in the case."The suspect was identified through interviews with numerous witnesses," said Det. Cunningham. "There was alot of sensationalism with this case and many rumors going around town about the incident that were not true. It was really a simple situation and the person responsible is now incarcerated," he added.Sexual assault is classified as a second degree felony and Childers can face from 2-20 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000. He will be given an opportunity to make a plea or stand trial.

For this dish you can use the shoulder or other slightly tougher cuts of lamb. This meat is very tasty and juicy, but it requires a bit more time to cook or roast than more tender cuts.
Servings: 6
- 1Use a large casserole dish and brown the meat in a small amount of oil. Cut the onions, celeriac and 3 of the apples into small and large pieces and add to the casserole.
- 2When the vegetables are tender add the lamb stock and a cinnamon stick and bring the casserole to the boil. Allow to simmer for 1 to 1½ hours. Keep an eye on the casserole and add a bit more water if it starts to boil dry.
- 3Towards the end of the simmering time add salt to taste, along with the celery and the rest of the apples. Serve in deep plates.

Whitney Houston's teenage daughter is set to open up to TV queen Oprah Winfrey in her first interview since the death of her superstar mom last month (Feb12).
Bobbi Kristina, Houston's only child with New Edition star Bobby Brown, has agreed to sit down with Winfrey to tape an "intimate" TV special.
The 18 year old will share personal memories of her mother and address "rumors and speculation surrounding Houston's death", according to a press release.
She will be joined by the I Will Always Love You hitmaker's sister-in-law and manager Patricia Houston and brother Gary Houston.
The interview is due to air on Oprah's Next Chapter on 11 March (12).
Bobbi Kristina was hospitalized for extreme stress and anxiety after Houston was found dead in the bathtub of her Los Angeles hotel suite on 11 February (12).

The farm bill is being deferred to the post-election congressional session, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) told Reuters News Service on Monday. "It really remains unclear what will happen to the farm bill," he says, with options from a new five-year bill to an extension of current law for anywhere from three months to a year.
The lame-duck session will be jammed with issues; leaders will have to give farm bill priority for it to have a chance of completion, Grassley told Reuters. Congress is expected to adjourn at the end of this week until the post-election session, so the farm bill will remain stalled until November at the earliest.
If the farm bill is delayed into 2013, the budget situation could worsen when the new spending "baseline" is issued in March. "After March 1, it's going to be more difficult to write a farm bill," said Grassley.
Rep. Bruce Braley (D-IA) last week filed a discharge petition that would force the House of Representatives to vote on its version of a new farm bill if it gets 218 signatures (the number of votes needed to pass the bill).
As of Friday, the petition reportedly had only 53 signatures, primarily Democrats, so it looks doubtful that the 218 votes needed to pass the farm bill exist. It is unclear the measure would pass even if brought up in a lame-duck session post-election.
Conservative Republican House members are against the spending levels contained in the bill. The Club for Growth, a conservative 527 group, on Monday warned its members against the discharge petition.
Club for Growth charges the bill "authorizes a whopping 60% increase in spending over the 2008 Farm Bill", creates new entitlement programs that could be "extra costly to taxpayers" and does nothing to reform the food stamp program.
Meanwhile, liberal Democrats have stepped up their opposition to the $16 billion in cuts to the food stamp program contained in the House farm bill.

My Ghoul Friday
Check back often!
Recent Moans from the Minions...
August 25th is fast approaching.
Including today, I have 11 days left to get ready for Rue Morgue's Festival of Fear at FanExpo in Toronto.
They've officially announced the Horror schedule and the floor-plan for retailers, special guests, and people like me in Artist Alley.
I will be at table A248 which is in the back right corner of the convention. For whatever reason, they've separated the horror artists in the Alley from the rest of the horror section (we're not only a row back from them, but actually far to the right of where the horror retailers will be). Between us and our brethren will be huge corporate exhibits for video game companies.
The concern of course is that horror fans who aren't interested in visiting EB Games or Xbox will simply skip our little corner all together. They will see the video games section and assume there's no more horror goodness to be found.
No use worrying about it too much, I suppose. There's little to be done about it at this point.
It was the start to every haunter's nightmare.
Toronto finally got some serious rain today. So much rain, in fact, that many places around the city had serious flooding. Luckily, in my area, I didn't go outside to find my car submerged like some poor folks did.
Blissfully unaware of what awaited me in the basement, I headed downstairs to retrieve a box from the storage room which houses all of my Halloween props, decorations and even some supplies. I was distracted by my remarkable ability to actually walk down the stairs (albeit very carefully and clutching both rail and wall as I gingerly manoeuvred the injured ankle). I was smiling at the partial return of mobility. I was happy for the first time in a long day of ridiculous mishaps. I wasn't expecting the universe to play one more joke on me before bedtime.
I felt it before I saw it.
Barefoot on the cold tile. Two steps in.
My foot actually looks like a foot now (if you can ignore the rainbow hues of healing), and I'm at the point where I can get around with the help of a cane. This is good news since I have less than 3 weeks until the big show, and I am in desperate need of some art supplies.
While hobbling around the house, I did manage to get some pieces finished. Six mini carnivorous plants have been sprouted. One went to friends visiting from out of the country, but the remaining five will make their debut at Rue Morgue's Festival of Fear.
I'll still have some of the eyeball plants for sale, but less than usual. So if you're coming to the show with the hope of buying one, pick it up early!
Sunday night I managed to mangle my right ankle. Have spent the days since on the couch, saving up energy to wheel myself around the house to get whatever I need while riding my trusty-dusty office chair. I have crutches but can't carry anything with them, and besides, they cause their own pains and aches. I save them for when I have to do the really fun stuff, like stairs.
Plus my poor left knee, that bore the brunt of the fall once my ankle gave out, has its own nasty scrape.
I'm almost a rainbow: my knee with its reds and browns and yellows, and my ankle which right now is only a single shade of blue (but I predict brilliant purples and greens to come).
Needless to say, I have been less than productive. Or cheerful.
Having to take time off work (that I really can't afford), and not being able to work on a proper project for upcoming shows, just adds insult to injury.
Yesterday, though, I was able to paint some mini carnivorous plants I'd built on Sunday. They still need touch ups and final details, but at least that's something.
How did it happen? Well, it's been suggested to me that I stick to a zombie story. Ninja zombies, to be precise. Make up your own plot details as needed.
I'm off to ice the ankle. Hopefully I will be back by the weekend with happier news of progress!
To round out my jar project, here are some specimen (or ingredient) jars.
I haven't finished putting them all together, but you get a sense of where I'm going with this.
How are they made? Simple. I coated the inside with watered down white glue and let them dry. Then the fun part begins: figuring out what I have around the house that could be creepy ingredients.
The cool thing about the glue-haze is it allows me to use items I might shy away from normally, because the grimy-screen blots out the details of the item inside. For example, the tiny rubber snake (pictured right) would not strike fear in a four-year old, but placed in the jar, and carefully glued into place with a little epoxy at certain angles, it suddenly looks a little more plausible that my critter is alive.
The second project with the jars was to make simple lanterns (or candle holders, if you prefer). Pictures and a quick how-to below.
I spent most of my hot and humid Sunday hidden away in my office, trying to forget the heat outside. The best way I know to do that is to make things for Halloween.
A total of 19 candle stubs are ready for their part in my jar project. They are made with hot glue, acrylic paint, toilet paper rolls, and LED candles.
If you're waiting to see the final product of the jars, it'll be posted soon (not quite done). If you'd like to learn more about how I made these, I've included some pictures and basic instructions below.
Generally speaking, I don't do a lot of gore in my Halloween themes. This year, I need a bit of it for the story I'm going to tell. This was project one of the glass jars (the other plans are much less gross).
What I did was take a few of the jars from yesterday that had been glazed with watery glue. I mixed red and brown paints, watered them down, and mixed them with a touch of glue as well. I poured it into the bottom of the jars and swirled them around.
Then, I dipped my paint brush into the paint mix and splattered it on the insides of the jar.
I took my organs - 2 hearts, a nose, a brain, an ear, lips, fingers, eyeballs, tongue - and painted them as well to give them a more realistic aged look before placing them in the jars.
I have slowly been collecting jars and bottles over the last year or so. Hoarding them away one at a time, I've hidden them in drawers, piled them into boxes, and even rolled them underneath furniture.
Last night, having realized I didn't have the materials I needed to continue working on pieces for upcoming shows, I decided to round up all the bottles and jars from their spots around the house. I've been saving them for a Halloween idea.
Imagine my surprise and delight when the tally hit 50. What, you can't imagine it? Well, perhaps it would help to know it takes a shockingly long time to polish off a jar of relish or honey, or to use up the last of the oyster sauce on the weekend stir-fry.
The jars will have various purposes, but all of them needed to have that hazy look. Kind of ironic since I spent so much time soaking and scrubbing them to make sure they were clean (I like fake mold in my work, thank you).
As I was getting ready to start hazing them, I was reminded of elementary school when we made stained-glass lanterns by covering the outside of the jars with pieces of tissue paper and coating them with white glue. Anyone else do this? It's actually a neat final effect.
All I did to give them a grimy coat was pour about a 1/8 to 1/4 cup water into the bottom of the jar, added a squeeze of glue, stirred, and then rolled the jars to coat the sides. Then I poured the glue mix from one jar to another, turning each one.
I have three different plans for the jars at this time. We'll see if it comes to fruition.
It's been a while since I've seen these figures grace my worktable. Perhaps that's why Series 7 of my Plague Doctor collection has 9 figures in total instead of 4 or 5.
They still need touch ups, and when that's done, I'll add them to the Art Ghoullery so those who'd like a closer look can take a peek.
The best place to find current art and WIPs is Instagram
I'm also on Twitter but be prepared for political commentary
My self-published book is still available!
Craving more Halloween goodness?
Here are some sites to satisfy the hunger.

Futures Indicating Higher Open Ahead of Fed Report - US Consumer Borrowing Likely to Rise Due to Hurricane Sandy Fallout
Jan 08, 2013, 09:15 EST
LONDON, January 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
- OTC Stocks Review: Fannie Mae, Nokia Corp, World Moto, Inc.
U.S. consumers likely increased their borrowing during November, as many started spending for the holidays and consumers in the Northeast began replacing cars damaged by Hurricane Sandy. Economists forecast that consumer borrowing rose $10.8 billion in November compared with October. The Federal Reserve is due to release the report at 3 p.m. EST Tuesday.
World Moto, Inc. (OTC: FARE) continued to rise in Tuesday's trading session on Wall Street with the stock closing at 0.30 cents per share. FARE has traded from 0.06 cents - 0.30 cents since December 15th giving investors that have held the stock gains north of 500%. The volume on FARE was also substantial with $21 million being traded.
Nokia Corp (OTC: NOKBF) also continued to trade heavier than normal volume through this first full trading week of the year. NOKBF was higher by 3% on $6.7 million in Monday's trading. The stock has been edging up with small gains for the last 6 months now making it one of the top performing technology stocks in the market over that period of time.
Fannie Mae (OTC: FNMA) was back in focus in yesterday's trading with much news and speculation surrounding the stock. FNMA was up double digits, 12% on the trading day with over $6 million in volume which is high for the company.
Advanced Cell Technology (OTC: ACTC) also had a solid days trading on Monday with the stock being higher by 12% on $6.5 million traded. ACTC has been out of the limelight since earlier in December trading, but seems to be back in focus to start off the year. We will see if the company can build on this upside it has seen this week.
USA Graphite (OTC: USGT) has continued to be in focus based on its daily volume patterns for the last two weeks. USGT traded another $5 million on Monday and was higher by 7.6% on the trading day.

MIRC TFS is designed to make authoring teaching file cases (and other imaging-focused educational materials) fast and convenient. The files you create can be as simple or elaborate as appropriate for their intended use. The instructions below cover the basic steps in the authoring process, while suggesting some of the flexibility possible in using TFS.
To author your first case, log in to your account on your TFS site (click here for information on creating TFS user accounts).
Once you are logged in, you'll see in the menu at left that you can choose between the basic and advanced authoring tools. Start by clicking the link for the Basic Author Tool.
Once you've launched the Basic Author Tool, you'll see that it presents the outline of a teaching file case defined by an authoring template. By default, the template presented is the Basic Author Service Template, which includes a title, author information and a set of five sections with defined headings (Abstract, History, Findings, Diagnosis, Discussion).
A site administrator can change the templates presented in the Basic Author Tool. Refer to this article on the MIRC Wiki for instructions.
The default initial title of a new case is the same as the template name. Change it to something that reflects the real subject so users can find the case once you have a fully developed library of cases).
Information you enter under "Add author and document owner information" will be used for the case you are currently authoring and as the default information for cases you author in future when logged into the site. (You can update the author information for your account by clicking on My Account at upper right.)
You can add as much text as you like to each section of the template and leave any section empty if you wish.
To add images to the case, click the Choose File button near the bottom of the page. You can browse to any images accessible to the computer you are using. (See below for instructions on getting images from a PACS into the authoring environment.) Repeat for each image you want to add. Note that TFS supports several common image formats, including jpegs and most kinds of DICOM images.
Once you have selected as many images as you want to include in this case, click the Submit button at the bottom of the page. TFS will launch the case you have been authoring. If you are using the Basic Author Service Template, it will look something like this:
The sections you populated with text appear as tabs in the upper left pane and, by default, the file opens to the first in the sequence. Any sections you left blank will be missing. Note that the Document tab includes information about the case (including author, title and abstract) and controls you can use to share, edit and manage it.
The images you added to the case appear in the large right pane, in the sequence in which you added them. The controls at the top of the image pane let you flip through the images. Thumbnail "scout" images appear in the lower left pane.
You've mastered creating a new case with the basic authoring tool! Now on to sharing, editing and managing cases in your library …
When you create a new case, by default it is private—meaning only you can access it. By clicking the Publish button on the Document tab, you make it viewable by all users of your site.
You can set more specific access controls by using the Advanced Author Tool (see below). You can also create Conferences, which allow you to share a designated set of files with a group of TFS site users (see instructions for How to Set Up and Run Conferences).
You can make changes to a case (assuming you are logged in and have privileges to edit the case) using the controls on the Document tab. Clicking the Edit button will launch the Advanced Author Tool (see below). If you just want to add images to a case or sort the images in the case, there are buttons to launch simple pop-up screens to handle those functions.
You can make more extensive changes to the text, images or other attributes of an existing case by using the Advanced Author Tool.
When you are logged in to TFS you will see an Edit button the Document tab of any case you have privileges to modify.
Clicking the Edit button will launch the Advanced Author Tool. It provides a wealth of functions to add, modify or delete section tabs, text and images.
The section tab names available in the case you are editing are shown in a row of labeled boxes. Click on any one to add or modify text and add or remove images. There are special tabs where you can place Indexed Content, which TFS will use in searching for documents but won't display to other users, and PHI, patient-identifying information that will be visible only to the author.
The row of icons at the top of the window lets you add, delete or change the sequence of sections, paragraph text blocks, images, captions, patient information blocks, links to external Web pages, quiz questions and comments.
File Cabinet provides the palette of images you can use in creating and editing a case in the Advanced Author Tool. To add an image to any section, click to select the image in the File Cabinet (it shows a red frame when selected) and click the add images button in the toolbar (the one with the green icon).
To load images into your File Cabinet, navigate to it from the main TFS window. When you are logged in, a link to the File Cabinet appears in the left navigation bar. Note that on some sites you may have a choice of more than one File Cabinet to use. There are two file cabinets on most TFS sites: Personal and Shared. Images added to your personal file cabinet can only be viewed by you, while images added to the shared file cabinet are visible to other TFS users. Click the link to open the desired one.
The Add Folder button helps you organize the images in your File Cabinet.
Click the double up arrow to browse for and upload images. Choose the file you would like to add to the file cabinet by clicking on the "Choose File" button and selecting the file from your computer. Then click "Submit File" to add it to the file cabinet.
TFS supports a few different methods for moving images from the PACS workstation, where radiologists typically view them, into TFS so they are available in the authoring tool.
TFS can act as a DICOM receiver (SCP) so you can configure your PACS to send images directly to it. While the precise functionality varies from PACS to PACS, most current systems can be configured to send to alternate destinations. If you set up your TFS site as a destination, you can push image studies directly to it. While some PACS only allow you to send complete studies, others can be configured to send selected images (see, for example this MIRC Wiki article on configuring GE Centricity PACS to send selected images).
When you send images from PACS to TFS, they initially go into a case queue that only the logged in users of the site can see. While in that queue, the images retain patient identifying information so the author can find them. Multiple studies sent to TFS for a single patient will all be added to the same case. TFS even uses study acquisition date information from DICOM images to establish the time relationship of a patient's multiple studies. The initial study is set as the baseline and subsequent studies indicate how much later they were acquired (eg, "65 days later").
Once the author opens the case, edits and saves it, patient information is removed and the case is moved from the case queue to the author's cases (and shared with whomever the author selects).
Some PACS systems—notably Fuji Synapse and Candelis—can connect to TFS using a standard set of DICOM protocols specified in the IHE Teaching File and Clinical Trial Export (TCE) profile. This method allows you to specify key images from a study to include in a case and to add supplemental information at the time of export to make it easier to find the images and author the case. The example below is based on Fuji Synapse's implementation of TCE.
At your workstation, open one or more studies that you would like to use to create a teaching file. You can select entire studies or individual images within studies. To select individual images, go to the Overview tile format (Right-click › Tile Formats › Overview) and click on the desired images. Selected images display surrounded by a white box.
When you've selected the images and studies you wish to send, click on the DICOM transfer button in the main toolbar.
When the dialog box pops up, select the tab labeled 'to Teaching Archive.'
If you have selected individual images, you will see them in the list of selected items. If you select an entire study, you will see a single line for the study with item type Study Folder.
Scroll down, and select from the configured destinations, or enter the details for a new destination. In some Synapse systems, users cannot setup new Teaching Archives, but you should contact your system administrator if you wish to send to a MIRC TFS site not configured in your system.
In the Information for Manifest section, enter the details of the teaching file. There are only two required fields: title and archive user. Abstract and Additional Notes can be added if you think they will be helpful in creating the teaching file case.
In the Archive User field, enter the name you use to log into your MIRC TFS site.
If you want to fill in case details—including History, Findings, Discussion and Diagnosis—scroll down. Of course, you can always add or edit these on the RSNA TFS once the teaching file is created.
When you've added all the information you want to include, click Send. Sending may take a few minutes to complete, depending on the number of images you send and your network speed. When all the items are listed as completed, your case should be ready on the TFS site where you sent it. You can log in to view it, edit it, change access permissions—and all the other things TFS enables you to do with teaching file cases!
If there is no way to connect directly to a TFS site from their workstations, many radiologists save images for teaching files or presentations to removable media (such as a "thumb drive" or CD) and physically transfer them to a system where they can access TFS. This approach is inconvenient, hard to manage and prone to loss or exposure of information. However, if you are unable to persuade your IT administrator to connect to a TFS site via Patient-Centric Workflow or TCE, you can author cases using images stored on your local computer (or any accessible drive) using either the basic or advanced author tools as described above.

Dr. R. Palmer Beasley, an epidemiologist whose pivotal research on hepatitis B in Taiwan first linked the virus to liver cancer, died Saturday of pancreatic cancer at his home in Houston. He was 76.
His death was announced by the University of Texas Health Science Center School of Public Health in Houston, where he had been dean from 1987 to 2005.
Beasley made his mark in the 1970s with a series of studies that proved the cancer link and also discovered how Asian children were infected with hepatitis B during childbirth by their mothers who were carriers.
"I decided what we now call hepatitis B looked like the most poorly understood and least-controlled infectious disease problem in the world, and, therefore, the most important frontier," Beasley told the Houston Chronicle in a 2000 interview, adding that, at the time, it was difficult to persuade Chinese officials the disease was worth funding.
Specifically, Beasley and his colleagues found the marker that accurately predicts which infected mothers will transmit the virus to their babies. He also discovered that a shot of human globulin, an antibody-rich precursor to the hepatitis B vaccine, could protect babies against the virus.
"This was a really big breakthrough because it showed for the first time that intervention was possible, " Beasley said in the 2000 interview.
In 1984, a vaccine program was established in Taiwan. In 1992, the World Health Assembly noted that the HBV vaccination, the seventh to be distributed globally, was the only immunization to date that could prevent a major human cancer.
Beasley devoted most of his time to global health research and training. In 2004, he created the Center for International Training and Research to provide a training focus for foreign students seeking graduate-level proficiency related to HIV research with its initial focus on Vietnam. In 2007, he began a program of summer research internships for American students in international settings.
At the time of his death, Beasley was director of the University of Texas School of Public Health's Center for International Training and Research and the Ashbel Smith Professor of Epidemiology. His work on hepatitis B has been recognized with several medical awards, including the King Faisal International Prize for Medicine, the Charles S. Mott Prize and the Maxwell Finland Award for Scientific Achievement.
He was born Robert Palmer Beasley in Glendale on April 29, 1936. He received a bachelor's degree in philosophy from Dartmouth College in 1958 and his medical degree from Harvard University in 1962. He started his research career with the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta in the early 1960s and earned a master's degree in preventive medicine from the University of Washington in 1969. While affiliated with the University of Washington, he did much of his research in Taiwan.
Beasley's survivors include his wife, Dr. Lu-Yu Hwang, who is a professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center's Department of Epidemiology & Disease Control; three children; and his brother, Oakland sculptor Bruce Beasley.

Buy This Game: Shadow Complex
The release of a launch trailer for Chair's Xbox Live Arcade game Shadow Complex is a convenient time to echo the seemingly unanimous sentiment that Shadow Complex is a great game. Comparisons to Castlevania, and in particular Super Metroid, ar
Comparisons to Castlevania, and in particular Super Metroid, are spot on. It's a real crate and grate sidescroller, with plenty of optional exploration, backtracking, and stealth. Most importantly, Chair's nailed all the basics--shooting enemies in the 2.5D environments is immediately satisfying.
The story may be forgettable, and sometimes shooting guys in the background is tricky, and the bosses aren't perfect--but beyond that, it's tough to criticize. In this great season of downloadable games, it sits at the top with Battlefield 1943 and Splosion Man. The game hits Wednesday for 1200 MS points ($15). Highly recommended.
