The Maurice Greenberg Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Hartford has named author Joshua Henkin the 2012 Edward Lewis Wallant Award winner for his outstanding novel, The World Without You. The presentation ceremony, which will include a talk by Henkin and comments from the Wallant Award judges, will be held on Wednesday, April 17, at 7 p.m. in the University's Wilde Auditorium.
This special ceremony will also celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Edward Lewis Wallant Award, created in 1963 by the Waltman Family of West Hartford, which the Greenberg Center will mark with the publication of a Wallant Award anthology of past winners and finalists, titled The New Diaspora: The Changing Face of American Jewish Fiction, edited by Victoria Aarons (Trinity University), Mark Shechner (University at Buffalo) and Avinoam Patt (University of Hartford).
Admission to the Wallant Award presentation ceremony is free and open to the public, but reservations are required. Please call 860.768.4964 to make a reservation for the event, which will be held in Wilde Auditorium in the Harry Jack Gray Center on the University of Hartford campus, 200 Bloomfield Ave., West Hartford.
Henkin is the author of the novels Matrimony, a New York Times Notable Book, and Swimming Across the Hudson, a Los Angeles Times Notable Book. His third novel, The World Without You, was published in June 2012 by Pantheon and has been named an Editors' Choice Book by The New York Times and the Chicago Tribune, in addition to being named the winner of the 2012 Edward Lewis Wallant Award. His short stories have been published widely, cited for distinction in BEST AMERICAN SHORT STORIES, and broadcast on NPR's "Selected Shorts." Henkin, who lives in Brooklyn, N.Y., and directs the MFA program in Fiction Writing at Brooklyn College.
Set against the backdrop of Independence Day and the Iraq War, The World Without You is a novel about sibling rivalries and marital feuds, about volatile women and silent men, and, ultimately, about the true meaning of family.
The World Without You focuses on the Frankel family, as the clan is descending upon their beloved summer home in the Berkshires. The family has gathered to memorialize Leo, the youngest of the four siblings, an intrepid journalist and adventurer who was killed a year ago on assignment in Iraq. The parents, Marilyn and David, are adrift in grief and their 40-year marriage is falling apart. Clarissa, the eldest sibling and a former cello prodigy, has settled into an ambivalent domesticity and is struggling at age 39 to become pregnant. Lily, a fiery-tempered lawyer and the family contrarian, is angry at everyone. And Noelle, whose teenage years were shadowed by promiscuity and school expulsions, has moved to Jerusalem and become a born-again Orthodox Jew. The last person to see Leo alive, Noelle has flown back for the memorial with her husband and four children, but she feels entirely out of place. And Thisbe—Leo's widow and mother of their three-year-old son—has come from California bearing her own secret.
Reviewers have unanimously praised the novel and Henkin's writing as "insightful [and] poignant" (New York Times Book Review); "Heart-searing, eye-tearing, and soul-touching," (Huffington Post); and "Blazingly alive. . . Gorgeously written, and as beautifully detailed as a tapestry, Henkin delicately probes what these family members really mean to one another. . . . [C]ompassionate, intelligent, and shining" (The Boston Globe). Commentary Magazine writes "few American novelists, living or dead, have ever been as good as Henkin at drawing people."
As a Wallant Award winner, Henkin joins a distinguished list of past award recipients, including Cynthia Ozick, Curt Leviant, Chaim Potok, Myla Goldberg, Dara Horn, Nicole Krauss, and Julie Orringer as well as last year's award winner, Edith Pearlman.
Established 50 years ago in 1963 by Dr. and Mrs. Irving Waltman of West Hartford to honor the memory of the late Edward Lewis Wallant, author of The Pawnbroker and other works of fiction, the Wallant Award is one of the oldest and most prestigious Jewish literary awards in the United States. It is presented to an American Jewish writer, preferably unrecognized, whose published work of fiction is deemed to have significance for the American Jew. The Wallant Award Anthology, The New Diaspora: The Changing Face of American Jewish Fiction, to be published by Wayne State University Press, brings together under one cover a representative group of those writers whose work has either won or been considered for the award. In recognition of the trajectory and development of American Jewish writing in the 50 years since the award was established, the volume reflects the breadth and ongoing vitality of the fiction written by and about Jews in America.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sen. John McCain says he's considering running for a sixth term in 2016, the year he turns 80.
In an interview Tuesday with radio station KFYI-AM in Phoenix, the Arizona Republican said that he's seriously giving a lot of thought to another bid for re-election.
McCain says he's getting encouragement from businesses that are upset with the recent partial government shutdown. He had opposed the tea party tactic of linking gutting the health care law to keeping the government operating.
McCain unsuccessfully sought the presidency in 2008, then easily won another Senate term in 2010. He has challenged President Barack Obama on foreign policy but has worked with Democrats on immigration legislation.

Text adventure writing...
Subject description: ...using an antique programming language and my teensy little brain...
OK. First things first -- I am patently, deplorably boneheaded when it comes to programming. Please, PLEASE be patient with me! What I know, I kinda know. What I don't know... if what I know is a grain of sand, what I don't is the Atlantic Ocean.
For the purposes of this, assume I'm using Ye Olde QuickBASIC PDS 7.1. Yeah, it's antique. I know. But I can code in it -- sorta. (It's better than the copy of QBASIC on my 386, which is where I started -- in the late 90s!) I'd say that 90-95% of what is in QuickBASIC 7.1 will port over to QB64 (which aims for QuickBASIC 4.5 compatibility) as needed. I'll handle the transition if and when it happens. For now, let's stick to PDS 7.1, since I've a friend there.
OK, now onto the actual relevant stuff...
I have an appallingly-coded text adventure, where the input goes something like this...
200 PRINT "What do you do"; INPUT$
Yeah. Not a proper parser, but a really-painful-to-type set of IF...THEN statements comparing the raw input to possible raw inputs. OH DEAR GOD WHY.
Because I can't code a parser. I *can*, however, give myself carpal tunnel syndrome coding a game (thankfully this hasn't happened... yet...)
The best idea I have so far is to have it like this... (pseudocode warning!)
get [b]INPUT$[/b] from user
if INPUT$ contains "GET" then
if INPUT$ contains "CUP" goto [line #]
if INPUT$ contains "BOTTLE" goto [a different line #]
if INPUT$ contains "DROP" then
if INPUT$ contains "FLASHLIGHT" goto [line #]
if INPUT$ contains "GEM" goto [another line #]
...and I'm not sure that works well, either. It does seem rather clumsy. I also don't know/remember how to implement that in QuickBASIC.
There's another problem I have, which can be addressed later... that of Inventory. In a proper game you can pick stuff up and carry it with you. (Imagine that!) In my game, since I can't code for beans, I had a global variable set up for each item with a one-character string indicating if it was in a location (eg "uld" upper ladder room) or in inventory (eg "inv") etc. The GEM in the game had a special condition -- if you d"DROP GEM", such a thing literally happens (SMASH oops), so it had a string for that (eg "brk") that triggered an alternate ending.
I believe what I *actually* need is a thing called an array variable, but I've no idea really how those work or how to set one up.
Having said that... I'd like some suggestions on how to implement a real parser that isn't
clumsy. It doesn't have to wow people, but I'd like it to be at least halfway to decent
@jamesbond,seaside: I looked at both of your examples. Couldn't really read either one -- jamesbond, yours was about parsing math (I'm horrible with math!) so I'm not sure I could use it anyways. Seaside, I've yet to get the hang of object oriented code, so I'm sorry, I just couldn't understand your example.

You could always try writing the adventure using
That way, all anyone would need to do to play it is grab one of the interpreter programs (from
The Interactive Fiction Archive
, for example), and play.
(Though, according to the Inform homepage, you can also create a version that'll run through a website, too...)
Here's an example tutorial:
Brass Lantern: Write a Text Adventure With Inform 7

I appreciate the suggestion, but I'd like to stick to something I already understand a little of, if possible. QuickBASIC and I are already acquainted. Bringing a stranger into the midst right now, complicates that relationship
Besides... I can compile QuickBASIC into an EXE. If I want to make a Linux binary, I can port it over to QB64 --I'm fairly certain that such is a fairly trivial task-- and compile the code in Linux OR Windows. (Mac is out of the question, as a hardware matter -- I only have a MacSE, with neither ADB keyboard nor mouse to be found, and it most certainly will never run OSX!)
Like I said in the OP: let's stick to QuickBASIC PDS 7.1. Please.

No problem. Just thought I'd throw an alternative out there.
Besides, I still haven't gotten around to doing anything with Inform, myself...

I don't think I've been to that site... the article on text adventures in that thread is a text file that used to be something else with images, and a lot of info is missing because of that.
I've written the author of the article (after tracking down a working email address) and I hope I'll hear from him soon.
EDIT: got two replies from him. Dead end, article is too old, he doesn't have the images anymore. Back to square one. /EDIT.
In the meantime, if someone can explain to me in simple English (Wikipedia is full of jargon) what an array variable is, how it works, and (approximately) how to use it, that would be amazing. Looks like I may need that for both parser and inventory...

I know it would not be Quick Basic or QBasic, but if you want to get an idea of how to program a parser for a text adventure, you could get hold of a computer magazine with a type-in text adventure program and examine the code to see how it is set up.
Of course, the more sophisticated you make it as far as understanding input, the more is involved.
I still have a number of old Antic magazines that had type-in programs as well as articles on designing and programming text adventures.

If you can find one of those magazines that tells how to write a parser... I'll pay shipping and a little bit more for it (or you could scan it for me, but then I don't have an excuse to send you money
I'd LOVE to see that!
BTW, those are probably versions of BASIC for 80s microcomputers, or GWBasic, or... well, probably they're BASIC. Most systems of that era used that language natively. An editor for that language was about half the OS for any given system of that age (the other half being a mechanism for reading machine code off external storage!).
BTW, I've a Tandy MC-10 that I'm going to start using soon -- gots to make the converter cable so that I can hook it up to a cassette recorder first, though. Storage is important!
(Before I had the MC-10, I had a TRS-80 CoCo Model II -- great stuff!)

Try looking up 'Just Basic' on youtube - there are several tutorials, including on on arrays. Looks straightforward, although I had to squint a bit...
No, I hadn't heard of Just Basic befor either. I used to do alot of converting old basic listings into HiSoft Basic 2 on my Atari. Never managed anything original though.

Hi all,
starhawk im a member of the QB64.net project that just started to use puppy linux. While researching linux stuff i came across your post. I dont know if you are aware but QB64 has a Win,Linux and a Mac SDL version that is almost 100% QBasic compatible.
If you were to post on the QB64.net web site toy would obtain a lot more assistance. We have a beginners section that this would fit right into. Others have expressed a desire to code text adventure games at our site.
Looking over your psuedo code your ideas are valid but very simplistic. Thats not a bad thing , more likely a very good thing. My suggestion would be to create your parser first. Then move on to creating a dictionary of a small number of recognized words. Then id create a select case structure to process the desired word in action sense. By creating a small simple game you'd get a working model fairly quickly. Then you could expand your dictionary and your select case structure to accommodate your needed actions.
Why select case? If you had the following words and wanted to branch to different sections of code based off these words this would be the difference
Words: PUT, GET, SEE, SAY.
if Word$ = "PUT" then Gosub Action1
if Word$ = "GET" then Gosub Action2
if Word$ = "SEE" then Gosub Action3
if Word$ = "SAY" then Gosub Action4
Select Case "Word"
case "PUT"
gosub Action1
case "GET"
gosub Action2
case "SEE"
gosub Action3
case "SAY"
gosub Action4
end select
The select case is more efficient as it leaves the structure immediately it finds the connection. The if...then are read in sequence regardless if they arent matched. Now imagine that there are 1,000 words to test. Your program would spend a significant amount of time reading thru if...then's even if they arent matched.

Hi all,
Here is a simple parser i composed in QB64 and tested in QB45.
REM Simple parser
CONST True = -1, False = 0
DIM AllWord$(1 TO 10)
GOSUB GetUserInput
GOSUB PreParse
IF NumberOfWords% > 1 THEN
GOSUB ParseSentance
PRINT Sentance$
LOOP UNTIL Done% = 1
INPUT "What do you wish to do?"; Sentance$
Sentance$ = RTRIM$(LTRIM$(Sentance$)) ' trim the string to remove leading and trailing spces
LengthSentance% = LEN(Sentance$) ' calculate length of string sentance
IF LengthSentance% = 0 THEN
Leave = False
Leave% = True
LOOP WHILE Leave = False
PreParse: ' calculate number of spaces in the sentance
NumberSpaces% = 0
LengthSentance% = LEN(Sentance$) ' get its length
FOR Letter% = 1 TO LengthSentance%
Temp$ = MID$(Sentance$, Letter%, 1)
IF Temp$ = CHR$(32) THEN NumberSpaces% = NumberSpaces% + 1
NEXT Letter%
NumberOfWords% = NumberSpaces% + 1
LOCATE 3, 1: PRINT "Number of words in sentance are "; NumberOfWords%
StartOfWord% = 1
EndOfWord% = LengthSentance%
FOR Words% = 1 TO LengthSentance%
TempLetter$ = MID$(Sentance$, Words%, 1)
'PRINT TempLetter$, Words%, StartOfWord%
IF TempLetter$ = CHR$(32) THEN
EndOfWord% = Words% - 1
TempWord$ = MID$(Sentance$, StartOfWord%, (EndOfWord% - StartOfWord%) + 1)
PRINT , , TempWord$
StartOfWord% = Words% + 1
TotalWords% = TotalWords% + 1
IF TotalWords% = NumberOfWords% THEN
'here last word$ is LengthSentance% - StartOfWord%
NEXT Words%
TempWord$ = MID$(Sentance$, StartOfWord%, (LengthSentance% - StartOfWord%) + 1)
PRINT , , TempWord$

I set up a Facebook group to accompany the conference that recently took place at the International School of Toulouse. This was originally to help the delegates prepare for the day but now that the event is finished I thought it would be a nice idea to transform it into a general resource sharing area.
I've also configured it so that you can follow an RSS Feed.

The Walrus Says
clocks go back one hour that evening so that gives everyone one whole extra hour to party."
Questions? Call Jean at 423-8947 or Kim Harpool, 423-3903. KAWOOOOoooooo!
Before going to the PAC that night, stop by 30 Beach Ave. and mingle in your costumes through the wonderful spectacle of Boy Scout Troop 1's second annual Pumpkin Spooktacular, featuring more than 150 creatively carved and scary pumpkins.
Maryann Toppa, who organized the event that will happen rain or shine tomorrow and Saturday from 5 to 9 p.m., said that the carved pumpkins come from all over the island. There is always room for last minute entries so hustle your creations on down to the Toppa residence today or tomorrow. You can take it one step further and become a pumpkin head by donating $5 and a carved pumpkin. Pumpkin heads are rewarded with a souvenir pumpkin pin.
Kids will get free vampire teeth, and there'll be spooky treats and a raffle. There is no admission fee, but donations for the troop will be accepted.
To get to the Toppa home while traveling north on North Rd., take a left on Tashtassuc Rd. (the access road next to the overpass), at the stop sign take a left on Helm, then a right on Mast. Go a block to Mast and Beach and the Toppas are at 30 Beach. Look for the lights.
And the spooky darkness.
Questions? Call Maryann, 4232866. KAWOOOOoooooooo!
Two islanders are making their debut as members of the Jamestown Community Theatre in the company's production of "Honk!", portraying their real life roles as a father and daughter.
For 8-year-old Allie Baldwin, this is a role she pursued. For her father, John, his role was a big surprise.
Allie brought her dad along to auditions for moral support. Her mom, Carol, said Allie was a bit nervous going in but settled down just fine with her father's presence.
At one point Artistic Director
Mary S. Wright turned to John and
asked him if he would like to audition.
We all have possessions that are very special to us.
They need not necessarily be valuable, and in most cases they're probably not. But to the individual they mean a great deal and their presence offers comfort and brings back pleasant times and pleasant faces.
Our friend Eric Bieler is going through the loss of a cherished possession and he doesn't understand why. Someone just walked into his house on Green Lane in broad daylight and snatched it away.
Eric was sitting on his couch a little over two weeks ago and, as he often does, reached for his guitar. He kept it leaning against the couch. It wasn't there. He searched all over the house. Looked in every possible place. Called family members asking if they had borrowed it.
But, he knew it had been stolen. He always kept it in the same place and no one close to him would have taken it without asking.
With anger in his voice, Eric explained, "It was the first guitar I purchased. It was back in 1974. It's a classical Gianni with an odd shape. The guitar was not expensive but after 30 plus years with its dents and dings and worn marks it is priceless to me. I still can't believe someone walked into my house and walked out with just the guitar. I still look behind the couch as if it will magically reappear. But it's gone and I just say, why?
"I just want it back!"
If someone out there has a change of heart or a tug of conscience please return the instrument to Eric's front porch. If someone has seen it or has information about the guitar, call this column at 423-0383 or 829-2760. We can arrange to have it picked up somewhere.
Skulk your way to the Portuguese American Citizens' Club Saturday night for the annual adult Halloween costume party beginning at 7 p.m.
Organizer Jean Volpe says there'll be a DJ, light fare and desserts. Prizes will be given out in several categories although costumes are not mandatory.
Tickets are $10 per person and can be purchased at the door. Proceeds will be donated to local charities.
"Join us for a ghoulishly good time," Jean said, "and remember, As she is so capable of doing, she talked him into it.
But it wasn't until the cast list came out that he knew he had landed the part of Drake, the father duck, and the large singing and speaking role that goes with it. Allie, a thirdgrader at the Jamestown School, won the part of one of the ducklings, Waddle, and has lines in scenes with John.
"He never sang in anything. He's never been in the theater," said Carol of her husband. "He took piano and played the trombone in a band in college, but that was it." Now she said that people come up to her and ask her about John's voice. Carol didn't get off scot free from involvement in the production. She's working backstage and also on publicity.
The family's interest in the JCT actually began 11 years ago when they moved to Jamestown. They met Tot and Mary Wright early on and learned of the troupe. They agreed that should they have children the theater company would be "a great thing to be in." As Allie grew up she would often meet Mary in town and talk with her.
Last year, Allie appeared in the Island Moving Company's "Newport Nutcracker" at Rosecliff. This year she had the choice of doing that again or being in "Honk!" She chose the latter.
She does get impatient, though, waiting to go on between scenes. Noting that actors with main roles are on stage more, she approached Mary one night last week and asked her, "Next time, can I have a big part?" HONK!
The fire horns at noon and six are right on the button!
His friends on Ferry Street would like to wish Steve Cirella a belated happy 50th birthday. Lotsa hugs for the young man.
Barbara-Ann MacIntosh emailed, "Hey, Daddy, I want a diamond ring, bracelets, everything. Hey, daddy, you gotta get the best for me!"
Bob Kinder e-mailed, "Hey, Daddy, I want a brand new car, champagne, caviar."
Bill Sheehan left a message, "Hey, Daddy, I want a brand new car." Everyone is right, great job, guys.
Islander Bill Karl, a composer and longtime member of the Jamestown Community Chorus, has written a new piece of music entitled "Prayer for Peace" that will be performed next month by the chorus at a multi-chorus concert, Rhode Island Sings, at the Veterans' Memorial Auditorium in Providence.
Last week during a chorus rehearsal Bill's two sisters and brother-in-law, Marilee Karl from Rome, Italy, and Betty and Jimmie Knowles from Austin, Texas, were introduced.
The sisters explained that they were unable to attend the concert and hoped to hear Bill's song sung in rehearsal.
Chorister Andrea von Hohenleiten said that Chorus Director B.J. Whitehouse gave them a pep talk urging them to excel for the Karl family. The chorus had sung it only once before.
"We gave it all we had and it was beautiful!" Andrea said.
Kudos to Kristin Sheehan who has returned from two weeks in New Orleans as a member of RI1-DMAT, a federal medical disaster team.
Trained to set up and operate field hospitals, the team provided medical services to victims of hurricane Katrina. "The people there are amazing after what they've been through. Can you imagine leaving your home in the morning and never seeing it again? They're the heroes, I can't imagine ever having to go through that myself," Kristin said.
She is a senior sales specialist with Eli-Lilly & Co. Great job!!
Halloween can be a fun time for your pets or it can be a very dangerous time. Dr. Joshua Hatch of the Jamestown Animal Clinic explains in his Pet Tip of he Week.
"Halloween is Monday and you want to make sure Fluffy has a good time (and a good costume) but don't get too carried away. Remember, chocolate can be toxic to dogs and any snacks and treats could cause stomach upset, so keep the candy out of your pet's reach.
"Also, resist the urge to use colored hair sprays on your pets — they don't know enough not to lick it off and it could make them ill. If your pet is going trick or treating with you, do keep them on a leash and use some reflective tape on their costumes so cars and other trick-ortreaters can see them in the dark and everyone will have a ghoulish time!" WOOFOOOOoooooo!
The Jamestown Community Theatre has been asked to participate in a History Channel video production of events in Jamestown during the Great Hurricane of 1938.
The producers will be casting about 15 persons including some six children. Shooting is scheduled to take place Saturday, Oct. 29, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Bill Westall and Jeff Jaques teamed up as golf partners for the first time in May at the Jamestown Golf Course, and then went on to win both halves of the 2005 Twilight League. The sweep was described by a league member as "a rare occurrence in this very old Jamestown golf league."
The dynamic duo then won a playoff as well. We're told Chip Young was overheard telling his partner, "This could be the beginning of a dynasty."
The Boy Scouts of Jamestown Troop 1 will be hanging plastic bags on your doorknobs Saturday, the 29th, and are asking islanders to put non-perishable food items in the containers for the annual Scouting for Food Drive to help replenish the local food bank.
The scouts will return to your homes on Saturday, Nov. 5, to pick up your donations and deliver the goods to St. Mark Church.
The most needed items are canned tuna fish, salmon, chicken, turkey, beef stew, canned ham, peanut butter, canned fruits and vegetables, juices, dried fruits, red and brown beans, evaporated or powdered milk, pasta, oatmeal, cereal, rice, and macaroni and cheese.
Congratulations to islanders Elizabeth Mancini and the Rev. Gary Lemery, Community College of Rhode Island and Rhode Island Junior College alumni, for being honored Oct. 14 for their outstanding service to CCRI and the community.
Two former Jamestowners now meet almost daily in Barefoot Bay, Fla., and exchange stories of their lives in Rhode Island, though we're told one of them, Peg Bentley, who was 84 on Tuesday, has the more interesting tales. While on the island, she lived on East Shore Road. She is Ted Gillerin's mother.
The other former islander is John Lochmandy, who for the past four years, with his wife, has owned and published the Barefoot Tattler, a monthly tabloid that is distributed free to a community of 12,000 winter residents and 7,000 in the off season.
John e-mailed, "I meet Peg at one of the pools in Barefoot Bay and have had almost daily conversations (almost completely one-sided) and I have come to like her very much. Peg is a wealth of information about RI, Jamestown and Democratic politics. She is very sharp. Her memories are fascinating."
Thanks, John.
Happy birthday, Peg. Anytime you want to share those memories with us up here in the cold zone our e-mail address is at the bottom of the column.
This Saturday night, we'll lose more light. Set 'em one hour back. Monday, KAWOOOOooooooo
We welcome your contributions to this column — birthdays, anniversaries and other good stuff. You can call us at 423-0383 or 829-2760, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, or drop the item off at the Jamestown Press office, 42 Narragansett Ave.

"With clarity, gravity, and grace, Bloom makes a convincing case for the improbable proposition that reading old books about the permanent questions could help to reestablish reason and restore the soul." (Mary Ann Glendon, Harvard University)
Cosa ne pensano gli iscritti

- 29 06 2010
Allen Bloom's THE CLOSING OF THE AMERICAN MIND is monumentally important, especially in regard to its central assertion that the surface American education's first principle has for some time now been: "To avoid discrimination [particularly in regard to class, culture, race, and religion or lack thereof], one must be indescriminate in all. The one exception, and the thing to be hated, is the man who asserts otherwise." I am always just utterly amazed at how absolutely relativistic (parodox intended) 99% of my college students have become in their judgements (or rather lack of them) regarding lit and art. I push them to extremes. They will proclaim (as though programmed to say so--and Bloom says they are) that Brittney Spears "music" is every bit as good as Mozart's "for the person who hears it that way." I actually ask them if a pile of dog dung on a paper plate is as much art as Michalangelo's David, and you would not believe how many will, without a twitch, say that it is "if someone thinks it is," as though putting forth an opinion in regard to any obvious difference in quality will lead directly to the acceptance of Hitler's race policies--or, at least, they don't want to be viewed as having any "dangerous" opinions, whether or not they really have them. And this is Bloom's brilliant argument--"absolute freedom" (everything is equally good) has supplanted real freedom (the ability to say the truth or even think it). In another class, in which we study different models of morality, many students will assert with an absolute straight face (get ready!) that baby-torturing, if accepted by a given cultural as moral, would be a moral activity to take part in. What can one even say to such things?!--but Bloom saw this type of non-thinking and warned of the extremes to which it could, and would be taken.

The Devolution Of The University
A brilliant review of how the modern university came into being. It covers a wide range of philosophers from Aristotle to Nietzsche and examines their profound influence on western thought and the modern university. Bloom makes a sound case for the return to classical education.

A Must Read!
A must read!
Enlightening, in-depth, comprehensive dissective analysis of the American educational system. Bloom's firsthand account is extremely well-written and this audio version is expertly read. My only complaint is that it ended too soon.

Lots of food for thought
While I must say that I didn't fully agree with all of the conclusions that the author drew, I loved delving into the ideas he presented and I did agree with much of it. I think that everyone should consider reading this book. I ended up buying a print copy because I want to be able to refer to it again at specific sections and also because at times the sarcasm was hard to follow because of sarcasm. It would have been much better if the narrator had made it clear when he was switching to sarcasm, so I rated the performance a 4.

Excellent...Must Listen
This was an excellent listen. Every American should listen to this a couple times. Great understanding of what happened before the "60's revolution" and what drove that cultural revolution.

The Most Important Book In The World
Bloom's book should be required reading for every American, but especially for college age Americans. This book will change the way you view the world. It will pull the rug out from underneath you and there aren't many books that will do that. Read this book. Then read it again and again until you have one of those "OMG!" moments.
A friend of mine was reading this book for a class and I told her, 'Oh come on that's a bunch of garbage." Later, I read the book, and it has fundamentally shaken my views of liberal education, made me question my allegiance to the Republican party--indeed, to any party, and has opened my mind to the sheer ignorance with which I and most people in America live their lives. This book will make you embrace education like a man who has spent months in a hot desert will embrace water.

Wonderful Book - Typical Boring Narration
Ive read the book several times and find it filled with many important insights for those living in our Constitutional republic. I also have an old recording on cassettes which were narrated by Allan Bloom himself. I was hoping that this would be the same recording, but available in a modern audio format without all the hiss of those old cassette tapes. Unfortunately, someone else narrated the book. He has the typical syrupy but monotonous kind of voice so often found in audio books. There's none of the inflection or passion of the author when he read the book. I find it hard to keep my eyes open when listening to this version. Does the narrator even understand what he's reading, its significance ? This version lulls me to sleep. I better not drive with it on. I doubt I will finish listening to this version. It was quite a disappointment. Even though I don't think I can listen to more than 10 minutes of it, I can't bear to give the book a horrible rating. The content deserves 5 stars. - -

Philosopher Allan Bloom's muddled philosophy!
I not a fan Allan Bloom's philosophy and I believe he is generally vastly overrated; however, this 1987 book hits upon the issues of the higher education system in the US with startling clarity. The Closing of the American Mind is a worthwhile listen that accurately forecasts the more recent drastic deterioration of US higher education. Narration of the audiobook is barely acceptable.

A digest of the intellectual conservitive movement
Any additional comments?
I was struck by how little of this book was not familiar. I'm 38 years old, and I read a lot. The fact that I've heard almost all the arguments contained in this book, even though it's now 27 years since it was written, tells me that it has been very influential. Everything in it has been amplified by repetition.
So, it was not a book that "made me think," because I've heard it all before- from Bloom's description of conviction-less Gen X students to the influence of the Frankfurt School on American intellectuals. If you've glanced at National Review sometime in the last two decades you've seen it all.
That's not a hit on Bloom, because he's the original compiler. These ideas were all floating around, but he put them all in one place.
Honestly, the best part for me was early on. There's a good discussion of rock music, which will seem quaint to readers who've lived their entire lives in the era since the 1950s. Bloom is still right- the influence of music on the lives of the young is underrated. Much attention remains focused on other external influences such as video games or movies when it is music that matters. I think this part of the book has the deepest bite. People seem very defensive about their music, and music has an undue influence on their thinking. My coworkers spend hundreds of dollars on car stereos. I buy new tires instead. I get Bloom's point.
Overall, if you want to understand the intellectual side of the conservative movement this is a very good place to start. If you have a background in the liberal arts, especially in 19th and 20th century philosophy, that will help a lot. Otherwise it can be very hard going.
This isn't an anti-liberal screed so much as a Platonic defense of absolute truth, and the pursuit of the good. The extent to which this criticism falls on liberals is a result of their own abdication of the responsibility that they once took seriously- to educate the young in the service of building a better society. They don't even know what that is anymore, to their cost. Creating a blasted nihilistic world of the mind for our best and brightest is not a plan designed to produce an elite with the common good foremost in their minds.
The education of our elite is the subject of this book. Looking around, it's obvious that whatever education our current elite received it was sorely lacking in moral direction. If that's a conservative message, what happened to the liberals?

More Relevant than Ever
Bloom's critique of the University provides an excellent backdrop to understanding our current mess. Unless modern reformers are willing to explore the roots of what's troubling today's colleges, they cannot begin to move things in a better direction.

Drilling with Care
Follow these simple steps to avoid hang-ups in your next drilling project.
Drilling isn't difficult and, at least in comparison to sawing, it isn't particularly dangerous. Still, skilled drillers drill with care.
Fixing the Workpiece
Place the workpiece in a clamp or vise. This leaves both hands free to manage the drill, and will prevent the piece from moving as you drill.
Locating the Hole
When drilling metal or using a twist drill on wood, you'll need to establish a precise center point for the hole to be drilled. A punch, or a nail in the case of wood or sheet metal, can be used to make a tiny hollow to start the hole. A pilot hole drilled with a smaller drill may be necessary if you're drilling a large hole in metal or hardwood.
Related: 10 Ways to Use Your Cordless Drill/Driver
Drilling the Hole
• Place the drill bit on the center point indentation. Begin drilling at a slow speed to be sure the bit doesn't wander away from the center point.
• Never force the drill; the machine will slow or groan if you do. Too much pressure is more likely to dull or break the bit than to quicken the drilling process.
• Slow to medium speeds suit metal and masonry drilling; fast speeds will help you race through wood. Monitor the progress of the drill as it proceeds through the workpiece. If the drill appears to lug or jams, withdraw it partway, allowing the bit to clear the debris from the hole.
• As the bit approaches the far side, drill more slowly. When a drill bit breaks through the far side rapidly—or if you are applying considerable weight to the drill—the edges of the exit hole will probably be ragged, leaving burrs if the material is metal or tearing out large chips from the wood. Sometimes, too, a workpiece that isn't properly fixed in place will spin on the drill as it passes through the far side. Finish off the hole gently for safe, smooth work.

Corporal James Keener, representing Pickens County, was named Georgia's Investigative Ranger of the Year for demonstrating determination and devotion in his work, which included a complex case with more than nine individuals charged with violations.
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife Resources Division names an Investigative Ranger of the Year annually.
"I commend Cpl. James Keener for his drive and efforts to apprehend these violators whom adversely affect our natural resources," said Col. Eddie Henderson, chief of law enforcement for Wildlife Resources Division. "The investigative work required for a case like this can be time-consuming and exhaustive. This work must be done along with all other duties the ranger carries out daily, so to successfully handle both requires great skill and dedication."
Cpl. Keener's investigation involved a poaching case in Pickens County. The case began with a complaint of spotlighting and shots fired. Over the next few weeks, Keener gathered information on the first suspect and the numerous additional violators involved. In total, nine poachers were charged with 53 violations.
These violations included taking deer at night, taking game above the bag limit, possession of illegally taken wildlife, hunting from a vehicle, hunting from a public road, and killing a cow mistaken for a bear.
Fines for all nine poachers totaled more than $4,800, plus $800 restitution for the death of the cow, and additionally included varying levels of suspension of hunting privileges, community service, and probation dependent on the violations of each individual.
Other conservation rangers nominated for the award for their outstanding investigative work: RFC Brandon Pierce, Cpl. Brian Hobbins, Cpl. Robert Stillwell, Cpl. Jason Shipes and RFC Buster Cooper.
The Georgia Chapter of the Safari Club International sponsors this award.

It's amazing how good a solid night of studying makes you feel. I only got paged about urology issues, which are also very satisfying, since they call for a quick, relatively risk-free and painless procedure which makes the patient feel better pretty quickly.
So far I'm 30% of the way through The ICU Book (300/1000pp) (and only 3% of the way through The House Officer's Guide to Urological Emergencies, which perhaps I ought to be reading more of, but somehow it's not very gripping).
I'm starting to have mixed feelings about the book. On one hand, it certainly contains such wildly relevant and fascinating subjects as, five continuous intravenous vasoactive medications (otherwise known as the five pressors, which about half the ICU population are on, and about which I've been frightened and curious for the last nine months, but never before found a concise explanation of), and, three easy algorithms for managing acutely decompensated heart failure (as well as how to differentiate between right and left sided, systolic and diastolic, subjects which are of very little interest to surgeons, but of intense interest to the gremlins responsible for coding diagnoses in such a way as to extract the utmost amount of compensation from the insurance companies) (and one of these days when a senior resident remarks, "ah, ejection fraction of 65%, their heart is fine," I will reply, "65% is actually a little high, and if you notice, the report also mentions left ventricular hypertrophy and decreased wall relaxation, which means actually they have a fair component of chronic left-sided diastolic heart failure;" so far, to my personal disappointment, I have faint-heartedly kept quiet at every such opportunity).
(Please I don't want any commentary on the grammar of that paragraph; all the quotation marks and parentheses are closed; I am experimenting in the stream-of-consciousness style. . .)
On the other hand, at least 50% of the book's extensive cogitation seems to lead to the inexorable conclusion that sphygmomanometric blood pressure measurement is inaccurate and useless; direct arterial blood pressure measurement (in most circumstances) is inaccurate and useless; central venous pressure monitoring is inaccurate and useless; pulse oximetry is inaccurate and useless; pulmonary capillary wedge pressure measurement is inaccurate and useless; CPR is useless; crystalloid is useless; blood transfusions are useless and dangerous; pressors are useless and dangerous (with qualifications). You get the impression that only certain arcane measurements of systemic oxygen uptake, which require special bedside laboratory equipment, are of any value in directing patient care. Which makes me wonder, if everything the author is telling me about is so useless, why I'm taking the time to try to understand the equations with which he proves the futility and vanity of all ICU activity?
Besides, what I've gathered of surgical ICU care so far is rather simpler and more basic: we like fluids. Fluids are good. Push fluids. [cave-man accent, you understand] What's a little pulmonary edema between friends? And don't infuse pressors through peripheral ivs (a course of action which the MICU here pursues on a regular basis, leading to pressor extravasation into the hand and arm, which is not pretty; and then they consult plastic surgery, or vascular surgery for IJs in the carotid), or without placing arterial lines.
My senior resident this month is getting a little wary of mentioning procedures to me. He remarks that some stitches here, or a line there, might be useful, and when he turns around, I've done it. So far, so good; but perhaps next time I should wait to hear the end of the sentence (he had to go see an emergency, and I assumed he was done with the instructions). I think it's a problem if even among the surgical residents I'm remarkable for liking sharp objects. I think the trick is to pretend to be a little more blase about it. On the other hand, I'm satisfied that I'm now competent at using the little throw-away suture removal kits as procedure kits. You open the kit, and arrange the paper cover and the little plastic tray in such a way that they make a tiny sterile field that you can put sutures and needles onto. Then you pretend that the flimsy blunt-tipped pickups are useful for holding tissue with, and you force the scissor's jaws shut over the needle till they snap past each other and lock the needle between them. Then, if you move very carefully, this will hold the needle steady enough to take a stitch with it. This method is primarily desirable in that you don't have to go hunt a procedure tray out of the OR or the ER (even most of the medicine floors have suture removal kits, though some benighted units don't); you can throw the whole thing away when you're done; and you can place a suture and cut the suture with the same instrument – versatility, you see. Plus, you feel like a surgical Boy Scout. (I believe there's an Eagle badge if you perform an entire appendectomy in this manner.) Even a few months ago, I couldn't handle the break-the-scissors-in-order-to-hold-the-needle maneuver, and always had to be fished out by a senior. I am now ready to teach this technique to next year's interns.

About the Faculty of History
Welcome to the English Pages of the Faculty of History, one of the oldest
in the history of European universities!
The Faculty was founded in the central campus of the University of Warsaw in the heart of the historical center of the Polish capital. In the unique atmosphere of baroque and classical university buildings the historical science has been cultivated, taught and learned since the end of the 18th century.
The Faculty of History is a multidisciplinary unit, characterized by a high scientific potential. It consists of the 7 units and currently employs full time 270 academics, including 43 full professors, 68 University of Warsaw professors, 136 doctors and 19 MA holders. Retired professors are also important for the Faculty – they support teaching, sustain scientific activity and international contacts. However, it is the students who are the greatest intellectual capital of our Faculty. In the current academic year there are about 4000 students specializing in various fields: ca. 1650 in full-time programs, 1880 enrolled in evening or part-time studies, and 480 in postgraduate studies. In addition, the Faculty provides a PhD program with ca. 110 post-graduate students.
The Faculty of History consists of 7 units: six are didactic and research Institutes: Institute of History (established in 1930), Institute of Archaeology (established in 1975 combined from the then-functioning units, e.g. the Section of Pre-historical Archaeology, created in 1919), the Institute of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology (created in 1935), the Institute of Art History (created in 1917), the Institute of Information and Book Studies (established in 1951), the Institute of Musicology (established in 1948), and one research unit: the Center for Precolumbian Studies (developed from the Andean Archaeological Mission (AMA) established in 1988). All the didactic-research Institutes have been highly evaluated by the State Accreditation Commission and received SAC's quality of teaching assessment. The teaching staff skillfully combines methods of work with students based on lectures, classes, seminars and other forms of teaching like monographic lectures addressed to all University students, and various foreign language classes, as well as internships and practical training and field work. Students can also choose to study in other faculties in the country within the Student Mobility Program, MOST, or outside the country, among others, under the EU Socrates-Erasmus program. Each year our Faculty invites foreign guests: lecturers and visiting professors who address both the teaching staff and students. For students specializing in history, archaeology, ethnology, information science and book studies, history of music and art field practices and research tours are regularly provided to enable direct contact with their interests and research. All specializations in the Faculty participate in the Bologna Process; consequently with it, three-stage studies (Bachelor – Master – Doctor) have been introduced. The Faculty of History is authorized to run PhD programs and grant post-doctoral degrees (so called habilitation).
The Faculty has a number of computer labs, created in all the Institutes where students take classes. Individual institutes have their own libraries with rich collections of books and nonbook materials, with separate reading rooms. The total number of items in the collections amounts to almost half a million and makes it the greatest Polish library for historical science and one of the richest of the kind in this part of Europe. Students have free access to all Faculty libraries and may borrow most items of the collections. Institute authorities and the Faculty itself has make efforts to improve the infrastructure, which resulted in the adaptation of new space for the Institutes. At present the Faculty is located in six buildings in the center of Warsaw, mostly in historical buildings of 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, along the two historical streets of Warsaw: Krakowskie Przedmie╢cie and Nowy źwiat, which form the called Royal Route (Szlak Królewski), nowadays the most popular in Warsaw for the inhabitants, and tourist promenade.

The average NFL team is worth a billion dollars and every single team is profitable. The Superbowl is regularly the most watched TV show of the year – if not the history of television. So of course they are going on strike and are running the risk of having to lose part or potentially all of a season of football.
If the NFL goes on strike, this represents an incredible opportunity for the NHL to grow its sport among the millions of NFL fans – pictured above – who will be seated in front of their 72" flat screen TVs, snacks in hand with nothing to watch. As one of the only games in town, the NHL could flex its sudden muscle in many US markets and bltiz their way into the hearts and minds of American sports fans.
If we ran the NHL we would be heading over to Spike TV's offices and trying to pay our way onto the airwaves with some sort of NHL reality based TV show. Same with other national channels like ESPN or even local TV channels operating in different NFL markets in the US.
They would certainly be interested in free programming given the state of the economy in the US. Give it away or pay to get it on air – just get it on the TV by any means necessary.
We would also be cracking open the war chest used to currently subsidize the Southern US teams and embarking on the largest US promotional blitz in the history of the league. Billboards, TV and radio ads, skywriting planes high over the City. Whatever it takes to get people interested in NHL hockey in the absence of NFL football.
We would bill the sport as violent and would show footage of league heavy weights going toe to toe in super slow motion with shedding guitar riffs and booming bass played in the background. There is going to be an unprecedented opportunity amongst a Nation of couch potatoes down South who will be looking for someone to follow on the telematrix. Why not the best sport on Earth?
ESPN would be an excellent place to start. Analysts have taken note that ESPN "is probably the least affected financially, despite its reliance on sports." That's partially because fans will tune in there to see whatever has taken the place of the NFL, and ESPN wouldn't have to pay big money for game rights – or perhaps pay the fees but get them back later."
"Whatever has taken the place of the NFL" has to be the NHL. By our count 17 separate NFL markets also have NHL squads. Some of these markets – Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Arizona particularly – are in dire need of growing the fan base. Having the pills to step up and market the game heavily in the next year could be the difference between life and death for some of these teams.
By the graces of the Gods of Sports and Network TV, the NHL has been handed a golden opportunity in the US. Let's hope they capitalize on it.

They have 20% pre-order off Kubrick S1, which knocks the price down to about $135 plus shipping. They don't tell you the shipping, so that's a little sketchy, but sure seems like a big discount. The other drawback is that you can only order 3 boxes, so no master cases. I think I would still go with NCS if the shipping is unknown, but wanted to see if anyone else knew more about these guys.

also, in the first clause, is the article missing to show that "life" here is qualitative?

I have concerns about the knee-jerk domestic violence bill that was passed by the House and voted for by our local representative, Alice Peisch, D-Wellesley.
This bill was rushed through without major debate and complete analysis after Jared Remy, a local resident, sadly killed Jennifer Martel.
Jared Remy should have been jailed years ago if assault and battery laws were properly enforced years prior without plea bargains, as they should for truly violent offenders.
First, let me state that one incident of domestic violence to a man or a woman is one too many. Let me explain what is wrong with House Bill 4034.
The first problem with this bill is that it criminalizes the new definition of "assault." H4034 uses the definition set out in Chapter 209a, Section 1. This is a "he-said, she-said" definition. This definition has resulted in 25,000 to 50,000 restraining orders each and every year in the commonwealth, mostly against men. Thus, once accused, one is on a permanent list with no ability to appeal and get off of the list. There is no due process.
What will happen now if this bill is passed is that when a person who goes to district court wants to use the law for an ulterior motive, they will file a complaint for a civil restraining order under Chapter 209a in the usual manner. Once that order is granted, it will be prima facie proof that the person has committed a criminal act under Chapter 209a�s definition of assault, since the judge has found the definition applied in the civil case.
Thus, almost every civil 209a (restraining order) hearing will lead to an immediate arrest of the defendant while one is in court on a 209a hearing, for alleged violation of this new "restraining order crime." There will thus likely be no bail, and a very high conviction rate, and no true due process.
Please understand this new crime is not a violation of a restraining order. Rather, it creates a second type of action out of the restraining order language, which is criminal. A violation of the restraining order would be a separate crime.
Today, even without the new proposed law, restraining orders are often overused and abused. They are a tool to gain custody of one�s children; to get to the front of the immigration line; to gain Section 8 housing, and to get out of paying health care premiums.
The restraining order law provides incentives that are sometimes perverse.
We have never yet done an independent study on whether the law works as intended or not, and if the unintended consequences are worse. We must take into consideration that it has contributed to fatherlessness, it has promoted more single motherhood, it has possibly increased violence and maybe not decreased it, and it might have contributed to the large increase in middle aged divorced male suicides and more.
I call on Rep. Peisch to request that this bill be put into study, despite its passage in the House, so that we can take a more in-depth analysis of this bill and the entire restraining order system and its effects on all in society. We want to protect all and prevent deaths, but we need to find out first if it in fact does.
Hill: Problems with domestic violence bill

District 'exemplary' in reading, math
Rating givento local teachers, students.
Gothenburg Public Schools got a pat on the back from the Nebraska Department of Education.
When assessments in four subjects were released Monday by the Nebraska Department of Education, the Swedes received exemplary ratings in reading and math.In the 2008-09 State of the Schools Report, Gothenburg teachers and administrators were noted for how they assess learning.
Students also received kudos for their test results.
Both groups were rated "exemplary"—the highest mark given.
District ratings show the quality of the district assessment used to measure student learning on standards and tell how well students performed on standards.
Ratings on the NDE's Web site at www.reportcard.nde.state.ne.us were only given in reading and math although science and writing were also assessed.
Gothenburg students scored well above the state average in all subjects assessed at the fourth, eighth and 11th-grade levels except for last year's eighth-grade math students.
Those students earned a 79.7% assessment compared to the state average of 91.86%
The score means that nearly 80% of the grade was proficient on the math standards on which the grade was assessed.
District 20 curriculum director Ryan Groene said the results show where teachers and administrators need to focus their efforts.
"That's an area that will be a big focus in the future," Groene said. "It's a definite target for improvement."
The yearly results posted by the NDE are considered a benchmark for what students in grades four, eight and 11 should know and be able to do.
Those students, in addition to grades three, five, six and seven, were tested last spring.
Groene said more grades were added this year as the state prepares for its first standardized statewide test—in reading—next spring.
For the past several years, students were assessed in different subjects on certain skills.
If they weren't able to master a concept or skill, teachers could go over the material again before testing students for state assessments.
"It's a one-shot test this time and teachers can't retest," he explained.
Students will be tested on a statewide, standardized test.
Other subjects will follow on a statewide, standardized test starting with a pilot test in math next spring and science the next year.
Gothenburg students took a pilot statewide reading test online last spring.
Groene said the district hasn't yet decided whether the reading test in the spring of 2010 will be administered online.
While getting ready for a new test on each subject, he said teachers must align their curriculum with a new set of standards.
Groene, who is also the junior high principal, said he doesn't know whether or not state officials are overloading kids with tests.
Local students already take the Iowa Test of Basic Skills, the ACT plus regular classroom tests throughout the year to name a few, he said.
Those are in addition to statewide testing from March 29 to April 29.
"They're talking about expanding that window," Groene said.

State and municipal governments fertilize local food craze
Over the last 80 years, federal policy has increasingly put small farmers at a disadvantage by massively subsidizing a centralized, industrial agriculture system that produces cheap food. Activists have spent decades pushing federal reforms, such as organic standards, with incremental success. Now, a surge of state and local government policies that promote local food and small farms as engines of economic development is making waves in Washington, D.C., (see map at right). In 2008 and 2009, for example, at least 13 state legislatures passed bills encouraging the growth of farmers markets. Arizona removed barriers to selling beef and lamb at market, while New Mexico, Washington and other states made it easier for those on public assistance to buy food at farmers markets. Some states directed limited funding toward the infrastructure and promotion of such markets.
And local governments are looking beyond farmers markets, spurred by the growing interest in local food. Each week, Mark Winne at the Community Food Security Coalition's Food Policy Council Program hears from three to five communities interested in starting new food policy councils. These quasi-governmental groups unite the food-related missions of NGOs and state agriculture, health, welfare, environmental quality and other agencies to improve access to safe, healthy food, build local food-processing infrastructure and boost small farmers.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture launched its own Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food initiative in September 2009 to link small farmers with the growing number of federal local food programs, including $10 million a year in grants in 2011 and 2012 to expand markets, roadside stands, community-supported agriculture (where consumers pay individual producers for a season's worth of produce) and other local food sources.
The number of farmers markets in the country grew by 16 percent from 2009 to 2010, according to a USDA survey, giving small farmers access to more customers. Still, direct farm-to-consumer sales make up a tiny proportion of overall farm sales. Small producers still face significant obstacles, from unfriendly land-use regulations to federal and state licensing procedures that are meant to ensure public safety, but can prove unduly cumbersome -- and expensive -- for small operations.
So activists hope the local-food groundswell will influence the 2012 Farm Bill debate. It's already had a major impact on the Food Safety Modernization Act, which was signed into law this month. The bill forces industrial farmers and food processors to be more vigilant about food-borne diseases, requiring them to create new food safety plans for Food and Drug Administration evaluation. The FDA will also rejigger its inspection process so that higher-risk facilities receive more attention. But thanks to a hard-fought amendment from Montana Sen. Jon Tester, D, an organic farmer, the new law exempts producers who sell most of their wares directly to local consumers and gross less than $500,000 a year. Tester and his supporters say that small farms have much better safety records anyway. And spared the expense of the new safety standards, they may find it easier to compete with mass-produced prices.
"These folks are folks that really helped build this country," Tester said during his Senate testimony on the bill late last year, "and undue regulation on them ... would simply stop a movement in this country that has gone on since (its) inception."

Police: Woman illegally bought gun for killer
Gunman killed 3 before being shot by troopers
Police: Woman illegally bought gun for killer
Gunman killed 3 before being shot by troopers
HOLLIDAYSBURG, Pa. —
Officials say a woman illegally purchased the gun that her boyfriend used to fatally shoot three people in Blair County.
Brenda Shultz, 52, of Hollidaysburg was charged Friday with making false statements.
Police say Shultz bought a gun for Jeffrey Lee Michael in January 2011. Michael's ex-wife had previously obtained a restraining order against him.
Michael later fatally shot three people near Geeseytown on Dec. 21 before being killed by state troopers. His motive remains unclear, but friends have said Michael was fascinated with the apocalypse.
Shultz's attorney, Lucas Kelleher, said Friday that Shultz bought the gun for herself. He says the restraining order was no longer in effect.
A hearing is scheduled for Tuesday.

[Hollywood Street King] Who am I?
I am in deep trouble with the feds and about to go to the big house – which will force me to resign from my recently re-elected to job and forfeit my pension. My famous father may be ashamed of me for my transgressions, but he's probably proud I have carried on the family traditions of infidelity and extortion of powerful people.
Many feel sorry for my wife – who is a local politician – but she is not-so-secretly banging my old buddy, most likely to get my old job. That's why people should really feel sorry for me — After all, I'm faking depression to generate sympathy from the authorities. Let's face it, old white dudes been playing this game for years — so I hope it works for me.
I want them to send me to the psych ward. Know why? Because if Bubba finds out me and my mulatto wife been living as sw*ngers I'm gon' become a c*m dumpster for promiscuous men, ass bandits and penis procurers on the cell block D. All cause I bought my jump-off a $40,000 Rolex and used some of my jobs' funds to decorate my crib, oh, and I tried to buy Obama's vacant Senate seat too.
It's all my fault. I turned her on to the swinger lifestyle – thinking I could get some extra trim. Sh*t, that girl sucking and f*cking everybody. Girls, boys, you name it. I can't turn the faucet off now. It's going be all stretched out by the time I get back. Damn.
Who am I?

Cheese Garters and the beach
Best way to wash the sick of Polanski away?
Mimi Cheese!
Who else would appear on Ellen and show off her garters? Please. I just watched it this morning. It's making up for the rain.
She managed to walk by herself up to the couches. SO. PROUD.
I have replayed this part 3 times. Because her face as she emerges, and the double waves, while tottering on her shoes, is the most amazing of amazingness in the history of amazings.
Then she sits down and pulls her dress up even higher. It's always gold. Always. Gold. I can't even talk about it anymore. I'm too busy doing the jumpy claps. Especially when she VOLUNTARILY pulls out her ring and shakes it in everyone's face. Sigh. The world is right.
And when she applies her cologne? I saw Jesus.
Of course my favourite is when she gets all put out because the Shake Weight steals her thunder. You can see her expression. She's like – ugh, can we talk about me again? I'm telling you, if you need some joy today, she WILL BRING IT.
Later on, it was some kind of video shoot. On the beach in two swimsuits and everyone was worried she'd stumble down the stairs but we narrowly avoided disaster, thanks God. And then came the posing and the preening. Let the photos do the rest.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Concerned that Japan's possible participation in ongoing trade talks among Pacific nations threatens the U.S. auto industry, Congressional Democrats raised their worries in a letter to President Barack Obama on Thursday.
At least four dozen House and Senate Democrats said Japan has a long history of erecting barriers against U.S. auto imports and resisting U.S. efforts to create a more level playing field, and that is unlikely to change if Japan joins the 11-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, negotiations aimed at establishing free trade principles.
Instead, they wrote, Japanese auto exports to the United States could increase if the United States eliminates its current 2.5 percent car tariffs and 25 percent truck tariffs.
"These longstanding economically harmful practices are not susceptible to cursory negotiations at this stage, three years into the U.S. involvement in the TPP negotiations and close to the administration's target date" for concluding the TPP talks, they wrote.
The administration has said it hopes to wrap up the negotiations by the end of this year. Last month, during a visit to Washington, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe signed a joint statement with Obama saying they would continue talks on Japan's "possible interest" in joining the TPP talks.
Among those signing the letter was Rep. Sander Levin of Michigan, champion of the auto industry and top Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee, which oversees trade issues.
In the letter, the Democrats wrote that Japan now exports 120 automobiles to the United States for every U.S. auto exported to Japan. They also wrote that the two countries will remain close and important allies but "a flawed, one-way trade agreement that benefits Japan at the expense of the United States businesses and workers will not help strengthen this vital relationship."
